Last night, Tucker Carlson explained that the left apparently lives in fear of a populist uprising of well-armed Americans driving their pickup and larger trucks through the puny police and National Guard barriers and fences in and around the nations capital --- and repeating the all-to-successful assault on the Capitol of January 6th
The historicists on the left really fear another historical moment, one that they know is long-overdue for repetition in capitals across the West --- Mussolini's October 1922 "March on Rome" --- which ushered in more than twenty-two years of Fascist rule over Italy
In many ways, today's so-called "QAnon Army" and/or a variety of Alt-Right militias are quite analogous to the "Squadristi" Fascist militias, which were the flying squads and shock troops of the historic March on Rome of 1922, and its contemporary penetrations across various key locales around Italy
The most important historic reality about the Fascist Revolution in Italy was that it was accomplished relatively peacefully, with power handed over to Mussolini by the prior socialist regime without large-scale bloodshed.
At present, similar paths are being explored here in the United States. Many on the left believe that several of the Capitol Police assisted the demonstrators in their takeover of the Capitol. Multiple post-January 6th investigations are trying to root-out active Trump supporters in the U.S. military and other security agencies. Whether any of that gets anywhere remains to be seen.
Because of the careerist bent of most senior military officers in the U.S. military and security agencies, there seems to be little worry of a "Francoist" style rebellion, much less "revolution." However, Victor Hanson Davis has pointed out that there still remain some true warriors even at the highest administrative levels of the U.S. armed services, and even among their allies in the military-industrial complex [and a rapid rise of a robust militarist sentiment, like in post-WW I Germany and Japan is not impossible].
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "IT'S THE BERRIES TIME FOR THE WAPO" EDITION
ReplyDeleteSOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER PARTS OF THE INTERNET ARE REALLY GIVING THE RAZ TO THE WASHINGTON POST FOR SAYING ON THE DAY AFTER THE NON-EVENTS OF MARCH 4TH IN WASHINGTON >>> THAT IT ALL WAS A "MIRAGE"
So, let's get this straight..... The Washington Post grossly over-reports about the possibility of a repeat "insurrection" to yet again try to put Donald Trump back in the White House as President in 2021; then, when no such thing or anything like it happens, the folks at the WAPO report as if it's news that >>> the whole thing was not real, but just a mirage. For those who are keeping count, that's two phony news stories in successive news cycles about a single phony event.
So, in essence the WAPO, some others in the media and some U.S. Security agencies all lost in that well-known kids' game, "Made yuh blink".....
Anything except the race against chubby.

WHAT RACE IS THAT ? WHO'S CHUBBY ??? AND WHY SHOULD ANYBODY CARE ?????
I assume we are dealing with something that you think is relevant to the Brooklyn GOP. If so, then why be so cryptic about it ?
RESPONSE: THE "TALKING TO THE TREES" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO THE ANONYMOUS COMMENTER WHOSE COMMENT WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
BUT THIS IS TOO GOOD NOT TO SHARE >>> THE COMMENT ENDED WITH THIS: ".... WHO ELSE CAN SAY THAT !" DON'T TRY TO GUESS WHO IT IS YET..... [NO IT'S NOT CLINT EASTWOOD, WHO SANG "I TALK TO THE TREES" IN THE MOVIE VERSION OF THE SHOW "PAINT YOUR WAGON" --- THIS IS SOMEBODY ELSE THAT TALKS TO THE TREES]
THIS POOR BENIGHTED SOUL SAYS THAT ONLY HE WILL BE MADE "DEPUTY GOVERNOR" IF JOHN CATSIMATIDIS IS ELECTED GOVERNOR --- THERE IS A LITTLE RUB IN ALL OF THAT..... WHAT MAKES THIS ALL SO SAD IS THAT SOMEBODY IS NOT ONLY MAKING UP FALSE TITLES FOR HIMSELF, THOSE TITLES ARE NOW FOR POSITIONS THAT DON'T EXIST
Let's do a little Lerner and Lowe show tune for our forlorn silenced commenter:
"I talk to the trees
But they don't listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me
The breeze hasn't time
To stop, and hear what I say
I talk to them all
In vain...."
So far the count of uniformed police forces that guard the capitol are
ReplyDelete1. capitol police
2. secret service
3. park police
4. DC Metro police
but the problem is the National Guard?
How long do we have to wait to find out who is running against the blogs sponsor for city council.

WHO EXACTLY DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY THIS BLOG'S PURPORTED SPONSOR ? WHO DO >>> YOU <<< THINK IS RUNNING FOR WHAT AGAINST THAT PURPORTED SPONSOR ??? AND WHY SHOULD ANYBODY CARE WHETHER I CHOOSE TO REPORT ON IT OR NOT ?????
I assume we are dealing with something that you think is relevant to the Brooklyn GOP. If so, then why are you still being so cryptic about it ?
If you have something to say just spit it out.
We cant just spit it out because you will just delete it if you dont like it.mand therein lies the problem with your censoring
ReplyDeleteSure dude okay. I know your gonna delete but everybody knows JB owns you and your little blog.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "SO, JUST KEEP SPITTIN'"
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 6:42 PM" & "... AT 9:43 PM"
SO FEW WORDS AND YET SO WRONG.....
I'M STILL PLAYIN' --- BUT ARE YOU STILL SPITTIN' ???
Maybe, you should keep it to yourself; you know a little bit of self censorship.
Like I said above >>> "... why should anybody care..." ?????
UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE " 'TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM' TEAM" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTHERE ARE STILL A FEW WILD CARDS IN THE BROOKLYN GOP DECK WHEN IT COMES TO CANDIDATES FOR THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE 43RD COUNCIL DISTRICT.....
AND BOY THERE ARE SO MANY STRANGE WAYS THAT PEOPLE ARE SHOWING THE LOVE FOR THEIR PREFERRED COUNCIL CANDIDATES
Take for example Nick Chamberas --- he wants to entice John Q into running again for the council; and he is showing the love by running a candidate against incumbent District Leader Q for the 46th AD State Committee slot..... Then there is Liam Mack, who is sort of quietly arranging petitioners for Brian Fox to flesh out his card below his main eventer Fernando Mateo; but again, Liam is showing his love in a strange way by talking up candidates, one in Sunset Park/ South Brooklyn and another in Midwood, but for now is staying sorta mum about Bay Ridge/ Dyker Heights.....
I hear Chambarrasement wants to entice Dominos Pizza to give him the 3 to 11 shift.
ReplyDeleteGalewynn having conversations with himself again after he sold out the blog to Justin and the Bay Ridge Dems How’s your last exclusive, Christine’s city council run coming along? Bwaaa!
ReplyDeleteJohn Quaglione is the only desent Republican politician running for something left in all of Brooklyn. He’s clean cut with nice family.
ReplyDeleteLiam screaming at people who didn’t vote his guy at meeting . I think two others out 50 votes with him. Liam don’t run candidates he runs fools who don’t know they gonna lose for sure.
