Vladimir Lenin was the founder and the leader of the Bolsheviks. Lenin lead the revolution which established the first socialist state. In 1917 his government won the Russian civil war and consolidated power in a one-party state under the Communist Party. There was a period after Lenin came to power called Red Terror, which was a campaign of political repression and executions carried out by the Cheka, Bolshevik secret police. The Red Terror modeled on the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution sought to eliminate dissent, opposition and any other threats to Bolshevik power. The reason why I bring this up is because the democrat political party has been using similar hard core scare tactics as Lenin and the Bolsheviks. One of Lenin’s tactics was committing violent executions of dissidents to coerce any opposition. If you stood up and opposed being terrorized you would find yourself being prosecuted by the Bolshevik secret police, executed, violently attacked and or put into camps. Executions were encouraged as we see how the democrats dehumanize their opponents to the point people are being shot, jailed and harassed by lawfare. We all must realize when a person defends themselves or others around them and then are prosecuted by a Soros backed DA like Alvin Bragg with a good chance of many years or life in prison, what we are seeing is Lenin style governance. Psychologically we begin to question even the defense of oneself.

On the other side of the spectrum the left gets away with murder, a great example is capital police officer Michael Byrd’s murder of Ashli Babbitt. Point blank range shot her right in the neck killing her. Byrd then promoted and given a raise. The investigation shut down by the justice department. Other great examples were Roseanne Boyland and even Jeffrey Epstein murdered to cover up his lists of criminals, all executions, all done to coerce and frighten people not to stand up.

Or when we see footage of a man being shot in the back, a hideous execution right in the streets of bright blue New York and people cheer this on and say they are joyful, it’s a real sickness the left has indoctrinated into its followers that this, in their twisted mind, is justice, he had it coming to him. The man had a wife and two children and is gunned down on the street just before Christmas and you feel Joy?

How about the leading political candidate being constantly harassed with indictments coordinated by Biden’s justice department and then have people so badly coerced by the democrats he is hunted by their followers and shot in the head luckily surviving and people are crying and upset that they missed.

To throw a couple more logs on the fire, opening the border, allowing anyone unvetted into our country, overburdening all of our welfare systems, creating havoc across our country, and let’s not forget the lefts war on women.

If this type of governance, this sick psychological coercion of citizens, is not crushed by prosecuting people like George Soros Merrick Garland, Joe Biden and hundreds more, they will just start over again in four years and each time they will become more desperate and more violent. The lefts goal, I believe, was to give people the feeling of helplessness. I have felt this when the left was allowing cities to burn. It seems an impossible task to solve all of these problems in four years. This will take decades. J.Goodrich

Only an inside shift of consciousness will change the directive of anyone! There are many people who are offering the tools for this to occur. It isn't being taught by anyone with an agenda for fame, money or power over. All war and suffering begins and ends with me.

You have definitely highlighted & presented some of the more heinous examples, James. Another federal agency that is out-of-control is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives (ATF). I just reread the August edition of Imprimis (a monthly publication put out by Hillsdale College). The name of this edition (Volume 53, Number 8) is: "Our Out-of-Control Federal Law Enforcement Agencies", by Ryan Cleckner. I would provide a link but am now using a different computer & cannot figure out how to provide links. It was easy with my Chromebook, but it was giving me all sorts of other problems. However, you can find all of Hillsdale's Imprimis publications on-line. I recommend this one for an even broader picture of what is going on with these agencies.
