Listening

It's not easy anymore but you really should try and find someone of Russian, Polish, Ukrainian or German descent that survived the Bolshevik revolution and then Stalin’s purge. It ain't pretty.

No it ain't pretty but it's really something that people should hear, they should hear just what people in power are capable of doing to the population, the population of any country when their positions of power are threatened. This is not just something that can happen in that nebulous place called over there, or back then, or in the old country. No it can and will happen right here and it matters not if you’re living in the US or Canada or Briton or anywhere of a hundred different countries. It will happen and it will be terrible….

I really mean this, find someone who had their feet on the ground during those times and LISTEN to them, and I mean REALLY LISTEN to them, their stories will all be the same.

I know this not only because my family hailed from that place and time but most of the older generation in the community that I grew up in came from there as well. I listened to them and I heard that of which they spoke, or at least I thought that I had listened and heard, perhaps I should have listened more closely, when they told me that it not only could but would happen here and for the very same reasons.

Those reasons were and still are the insatiable thirst for power by a very small group of villains and more importantly the people’s complacency. It’s the same all over again, same villains, same complacency the complacency of the working stiff who say’s “hey I work my ass off to make ends meet, I take my to baseball games when I can afford to, I pay my taxes, I try to be a good person, what more do they want from me?”

Well I will tell you what more they want of you, They want EVERYTHING, they want all you have and then they will take that of which you could only dream, Your Freedom. And then they will take your very lives.

So if your asking how bad will it get, just ask someone who was there, ask them now before they are all gone. They DO have things to say that you REALLY should listen to, and goddamit listen to them until you hear what they are saying and then listen some more.

Listen when they tell you what it’s like to see 60 million people starve to death. Listen to them when they tell you what it’s like to see your family, friends and neighbors shot wholesale.

Listen to them when they tell you that they were the lucky ones, they were the ones who survived and at least had a place to run to that was better. That place was HERE wherever that is. Where will you run, where will you go, and what will you do when you get there to that place, that place that is just as bad as the place you left and will they let you in?

This time will be different insofar as this time it will be Bad everywhere, it is almost time for the culling of the herd to begin.

Soooo how will you go? How will you and yours go into that long cold night? Will you go standing on two feet, and with a defiant scream. Or will you go silently while standing on all fours…. like a sheep?

Personally I prefer the former…. But that’s just me, and I really need to get a drink now.

Yes I did hear that Jeff. I however feel that he was somewhat optimistic, once the crash starts (oh wait it already has) the rest will follow in rapid succession. who better to know than the Russians?

They didn't think their Empire would crumble either.
