Between 1919 and 1920 the Americans carried out a series of raids on American citizens and American businesses. These were the Palmer raids. their goal was to root out Bolsheviks, to stop a potential communist revolution.
Socialists were deemed anti-American. They were raided, arrested, detained without trial and 556 were ultimately deported.
On December 21st, 249 arrested radicals who had in most cases committed no act of insurrection were sent to Russia on the USAT Buford, with the instruction that if they liked Russia so much they should go live in it.
I've been reminded about this these past few days.
In the last few weeks western nations have put a small dent in the fortunes of oligarchs. Those Oligarchs have fled sanctions on their private jets and gold plated yachts, but they've left behind the people who bent over backwards in service to what turned out to be a foreign hostile power hell bent on our destruction.
But we knew that right?
How could we not. Pro Kremlin guys like Farage and Manafort and Banks? Agent provocateurs like Cummings? People who appear on Fox or RT to defend troops murdering women and children, who drape themselves in the false flag language of the right and serve any master with deep enough pockets to buy their souls.
Our politicians on every side of the house are compromised.
In 2019 we had a choice. Vote for a man who works for a Russian oligarch and ex-KGB media baron or vote for the guy who has been pro-Kremlin his entire political life. People literally defending baby killers. they had their reasons, they said. They were provoked into opening fire on unarmed civilians and raping and murdering.
Our masters have their reasons for the things they do. We are not privy to them.
For we are just their loyal death eaters.
A week ago Putin said he was being cancelled 'like your own JK Rowling'. Fucking hell - that's when you know there's some real deep dive Voldemort shit going down.
Yet still there are those politicians on both sides of the Atlantic are drawing pay. You know who they are - they are the ones suing people for maligning their malignant character while their Kremlin paymasters skulk in their bunkers and plot thermonuclear Armageddon.
Sod the oligarchs. It's those fuckers I want to see removed from power and politics and platforms. Why aren't we cancelling these people? Their allegiances are well known. And unlike those poor socialist bakers rounded up in the Palmer raids, here are people who literally took money to betray the interests not just of any one country or party, but every single one of us.
And they should never work again.
I mean, it wasn't a fucking secret was it? Russian agents were literally killing people in London with cavalier abandon and laughing about it. Its a game to them, victory points measured in polonium and civilian corpses.
Our politicians took money from foreign hostile powers. I can't believe we are not even having that conversation. I can't believe we aren't impeaching them. I can't believe we aren't removing them from office.
At any other point in history we'd be jailing them.
More fool us eh?
