Tempting...

 ...but, no, I don't think so: "FBI Tells Americans to Report ‘Family Members and Peers’ for ‘Suspicious Behaviors’"

Sure, there are one or two people in my family I'd like to report, even though I'd have to make up charges. You know, because I can't stand them. But, really, that's not very sporting, let alone honorable. 

What particularly irks me about the FBI's interest in "homegrown" terrorism is that it's really about trying to intimidate and, where possible, criminalize opposition to the Democratic Party and its woke auxiliaries. 

Here's something for our would-be KGB to think about. No matter how much power one man and his inner circle manage to acquire, no matter the extent of the stranglehold one political party may have on a nation, no one is immortal, no party or ideology is forever omnipotent. The following scenes from the dark comedy, The Death of Stalin, concerning the end of Lavrentiy Beria - the head of the NKVD and, after Stalin, the most powerful, dreaded and, arguably, most evil man in the Soviet Union - should be required viewing for all of our dreamy-eyed federal law enforcement and intelligence personnel, who seem to earnestly believe that God went on vacation and left them in charge.

  1. I really think though that they have this sense of 'high moral purpose' and would be offended by Stalin comparisons. That's the sincere ones, the rest are just crooks using the latter.

    That's the faceless alphabet agency types. Of course the ones who display their virtue in public are doing it for attention.

    That's who worries me - the ones who feel morally superior and imagine they are the true patriots, shepherding the 'ignorant masses' as they suppose.

  2. The useful tools would just pooh-pooh any explanation of how communism really works, because after all, "It's never been properly applied, doncha know." In more than a hundred years, in multiple basket case countries, communism hasn't been properly applied. And it never occurs to them that it HAS been properly applied, and dystopia is the inevitable result.
