WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….

“This is my letter to the world….”
Real World Address
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished
Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.
— Van der Leun

Judge Kavanaugh is an honest man.
He is absolutely correct in his statement about getting good people to run for office. Who would want to go thru this treatment? But – isn’t that what the swamp wants? Easily manipulated people, who can be corrupted easily?
We need to confirm Judge Kavanaugh now- Lets VOTE!
Call your representatives!
Hanging’s too merciful for the likes of Shitestein, Greaseball, Liars 1 and 2, et al. I’m thinking an hour or so on the rack for a warm up, followed by a soothing molten lead gargle.
“Nothing to say now, huh?”
a cuckservative shabbatz goy
gets a lesson in (((post-modern ethics))).
he’ll go right on cucking though.
It is clear now, one group has crossed into open cultural warfare, with multiple unrelenting attacks on multiple fronts with multiple weapons, truth the first casualty. There are no moral constraints, win everything or die is the only imperative, destroy the enemy’s will to fight, or the enemy if need be.
The other group refuses to even defend themselves and their own supporters, I guess on the theory that it takes two sides to make a war. (No defense, no counter-attacks … voila! no war!)
We have representatives. And some of the chosen representatives refuse to defend their people, and only offer pre-emptive capitulation. In the old days, such were quisling traitors, near lowest rat scum of all.
There are only 535 of them, their tens of thousands more of retainers and courtiers and toadies and henchmen and stooges. What will the Sixty-Three do when they finally see the depth of their betrayal? What will the Sixty-Three do?
Whole lotta yappin but nothing worthwhile and nobody’s listenin.
The gov’t funds the operation and the media fans the flames.
FWIW
There’s something happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear.
There’s a man with a gun over there, telling me I have to beware.
There’s battle lines being drawn, nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong.
Young people speaking their minds, getting so much resistance from behind.
What a field-day for the heat, a thousand people in the street.
Singing songs and carrying signs, mostly say, hooray for our side.
Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep.
It starts when you’re always afraid, step out of line, the man come and take you away.
We better stop, hey, what’s that sound, everybody look what’s going down.
@ John A. Fleming. Very powerful words Sir. I believe the pot is boiling and will quite soon engulf the kitchen in a scalding hell. Keep your sword edges keen.
Here is a new item on this accuser. Boiling her in oil would be a good first step.

Howzabout we get the “special fund” info published.
You know — the one that has info about payoffs to protect congresscritters accused of harassment or abuse. Payoffs using your and my money, not from their own pockets.
I may not be happy with some of the names I’ll see there, but at least I’ll know.
