Tales from a Communist

And no one recognizes a Communist like another Communist, or one living or having lived under a Communist regime.

Cuban-American Filmmaker Warns America Is Morphing Into Communist Country

by Ginni Thomas

Filmmaker and American citizen Agustin Blazquez never thought his native Cuba would become a communist country, but now he sees the same radical shift happening in America.

Correct.  Because each new advocate of Socialism or Communism believes fervently in his or her heart that he or she can truly make it work, if only they were given their own opportunity.  They could “do it better than the last guy” if only they were provided the chance.   Despite what history tells us, and in consideration of the definition of insanity.  They are like their own personal vision of Reddy Kilowatt.  Reddy Kilowatt

In this exclusive video interview for The Daily Caller News Foundation, he says the left has been clever by using “very non-threatening words,” like liberal, progressive and concerned citizens, for advancing government control of American lives. The truth about Cuban politics is hard to find because of media spin and propaganda dominating American discourse.

For Blazquez, watching American youth embrace avowed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, strikes him as “absurd.” It is the end result, he says, of the cultural Marxist education and media propaganda that has anesthetized too many Americans who do not defend the values that made America exceptional.

Now, however, it is bad for America to be “exceptional.”  That is judgmental.  America is no better than any other country and is frequently — almost always — worse than any other country.  Just ask a Leftist.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is part and parcel of precisely why Leftists more and more not only want but command the meanings of words to change.  It is about control, nothing but control.

Not control by the people.  Oh no.

Control by the government.  Leftists wish the government to be the ultimate arbiter in everyone’s life.  Der Regierung.

No one knows how to run your life like a Leftist or the government as far as they are concerned.  Your silly-assed views about “what you want” don’t count.  Proles, groundlings, serfs.  STFU and step aside.  Concede your sins and repent, apostate.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PURPOSEEnter Orwell’s 1984, written in 1948.  Numerical transposition?  If you have not yet read it, by all means, drop everything and acquire a copy.  Do that now.  Read it.  The similarities to the UK, Europe and now the US are startling.

Millennials do not embrace privacy.  They do not embrace independence.  They embrace babysitting, hand-holding and Free Cheese.

Listen up:

“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery.  Ignorance is strength.”

“The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.”

“For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?”

Meaning: words are mouth diapers to be changed whenever convenience beckons?  Like babies who shit their drawers?

[Note: BZ’s Axiom is: whoever controls SCOTUS and education controls the US.”]

Watching President Barack Obama travel to Cuba, he says, made him “want to throw up.” This was a “betrayal to victims of communism,” the filmmaker of “Covering Cuba” says. Blazquez adds there are “so many [Nelson] Mandelas” in Cuban prisons, who are tortured, denied medical attention and abused. Yet, prominent black elites from America, including most incredibly to him, the Congressional Black Caucus, are wined and dined by the political elites but are blind to their “betrayal of blacks in Cuba.”

Barack Hussein Obaka was wined and dined by the Castros and was dared by Raul Castro to name anyone held illegally in a Cuban prison.  Did Obaka perform the obvious resultant task and pull out his phone and Google “Cuban political prisoner names” as would any other logical thinking human being with technology at their fingertips these days?

Of course not.  Obaka was too busy concentrating on the sucking of Cuban cock.  For his legacy, you see.  He’d been practicing for years on Cuban cigars, available as they were for our elite political class despite their proscription.

As the “fundamental transformation of America” continues under Obama’s governance, Blazquez warns that elites in America are in a precarious situation. Their privileges, rights and property could evaporate fast with America’s trend towards erosion of liberties. “Wake up, America!” the Cuban-American proclaims.

This of course hearkens me to a perfect Animal Farm quote with regard to the application of government in America:

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Listen to this author, America.

Baltimore black-on-black murders since Gray: where are the riots?

Baltimore Black LeadersAnd the hits just keep on coming.

May was a great month for Baltimore, if you’re a dead black male.

34 black males died in May, in the great Demorat-controlled city of Baltimore.  There have been 109 homicides to date in Baltimore.  Easily over 95% of the victims were black.  Most all the suspects were — wait for it.  .  .

Just this past weekend under the tutelage of the Mayor Hyphenate, there were 27 shootings and 8 deaths.  How many were black-on-black?  I’ll give you one silly-willy guess.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Baltimore possesses a great number of “chocolates” as termed by Ray Nagin.

Let’s see: there are 622,000 people in Baltimore.  63% of its population is black.  The Mayor is black, the Police Chief is black, the city council president is black, the council itself is 2/3rds black, 48% of the police force is black, the Police Commissioner is black.  All chocolates.  But here is a very telling paragraph:

“It transcends whether the mayor is black or not,” said Lawrence Brown, a Morgan State University professor and community activist. “Black people view policing as racist, and it doesn’t matter if the mayor is black, the police chief is black or the president is black. There’s a long history of brutal policing in black communities, so people don’t have any expectations.” 

“Black people view policing as racist.”

And that’s a sentence you’ll be hard-pressed to overcome when it sources from people who are too many times criminals.  Note to black criminals: stop committing crimes, if you don’t want to be considered or “labeled” as a criminal.  Pretty damned simple.  Really.

From CBSBaltimore.com:

29 Shootings, 9 Fatal, Over Memorial Day Weekend In Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ)–It’s been a violent  weekend in Baltimore after a surge of shootings–some deadly across the city.

Amy Yensi has more.

Police say 29 people were shot, 9 of them killed over this weekend, adding to the  record-breaking violence.

The shooting didn’t stop on Monday night after a 9-year-old boy and another man were both injured by gun fire in the 2900 block of Arunah Avenue. Police say the child was shot in the leg and another man suffered a graze wound to the head.

35 killings in Baltimore in one month.  May was Baltimore’s deadliest month since 1999.

Of course, Freddie Gray was worth turning an already piece-of-crap Baltimore into an even larger piece-of-crap city, costing the city even more money and putting it in even greater debt.

Baltimore Cop Car Smashed With NarrativeMake no mistake: Demorats have been in charge of Baltimore since 1967, and since the 1968 riots nothing has been done in West Baltimore.  Repeat: nothing since 1968.  For 48 years Demorats have been in charge of Baltimore and apparently nothing much has happened.  The city hasn’t been able to repair itself since the 1968 Martin Luther King, Jr. riots.

Despite the fact that it has, to date, received $1.8 BILLION federal dollars.  Where did that money go?

Thanks To Black Leaders And Black Criminals, Baltimore Has 27 Shootings And 8 Deaths This Weekend

This is the direct result of black leaders Barack Obama, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Attorney General Mosby,Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Al Sharpton, all declaring war on America’s cops, and lynching 6 Baltimore on phony murder charges.

[Prediction: those cops will be found not guilty, or guilty of much lesser charges. – BZ]

John Nolte writes:

“Poverty has nothing to do with it. This madness and chaos and anarchy is a Democrat-driven culture that starts at the top with a racially-divisive White House heartbreakingly effective at ginning up hate and violence. Where I currently reside here in Watauga County, North Carolina, the poverty level is 31.3%. Median income is only $34,293. In both of those areas we are much worse off than Baltimore, that has a poverty rate of only 23.8% and a median income of $41,385. Despite all that, we don’t riot here in Watauga County. Thankfully, we have not been poisoned by the same left-wing culture that is rotting Baltimore, and so many other cities like it, from the inside out. We get along remarkably well. We are neighbors. We are people who help out one another. We take pride in our community, and are grateful for what we do have. We are far from perfect, but we work out our many differences in civilized ways. Solutions are our goal, not cronyism, narcissistic victimhood, and the blaming of others.”

But here’s the dirty little secret that Demorats don’t want you to know, in concert with their Poverty and Race Pimp abiders like Jackson and Sharpton — who continue to privately profit from race baiting:

It isn’t a “race” problem with Baltimore.  It’s a Demorat problem.

Look at any busted and broken major city in the United States, and I’ll show you a city run by Demorats.  Demorat, liberal, “Progressive,” Socialist policies are historically a failure.  But no one wants to consider anything different.  Throwing more cash at Baltimore is like throwing cash at an African tinpot dictator.  It’ll never get past the government “heads.”  It will never “trickle down.”

That said, as my headline asks: so where are the riots?

Blacks rioted in Baltimore following one black male dying whist in Baltimore PD custody (in which half of the cops indicated were black, with one black female officer).

Yet, blacks continue to kill blacks in Baltimore with offhand impunity.

Where are the riots?

Oh, right.  That’s the wrong narrative.

All 6 Baltimore officers indicted

From WFSB.com:

Baltimore officers indicted for the death of Freddie Gray

by Zach Winslett

(RNN) – All six officers charged for the death of Freddie Gray have been indicted by a grand jury. 

“As our investigation has continued, additional info has been discovered, and, as is often the case, additional charges can be added,” Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby said.

In the meantime, the Mayor Hyphenate says Baltimore crime is off the charts.

And that hurts her.

Baltimore’s mayor: Spike in crime ‘disheartening’

by Yvonne Wenger

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called the city’s recent spike in violence “disheartening” Thursday as police work to address a dramatic increase in homicides and nonfatal shootings.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” the mayor told reporters at a news conference. “It is disheartening, but I am still resolved to continue to reduce violent crime in our city.”

The city has experienced 100 homicides this year, compared with 71 at this time last year, the police department said. It’s the fastest the city has reached 100 homicides since 2007. Last year, the city reached the mark on July 4. Nonfatal shootings are up more than 70 percent with at least 19 people shot on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I wonder: are Baltimore police hedging their arrest bets?

Baltimore riots focus on Philadelphia

Baltimore Riot Cop Cars Burn

A disenfranchised and aggrieved young black man in Baltimore blah blah blah blah.

Ah, there’s nothing like the smell of a good Leftist city burned to the ground in the morning, well-accomplished by Free Cheese Drones.  Drones who refuse to listen to facts, disregard history, and are spurred on by the American Media Maggots.

Go Maggots!

Burn it up, FCDs.  Make those Leftists pay for their failed ideas and stolen cash.  Stolen cash, you ask?  Of course; between the 1968 MLK riots and now not one serious brick has been replaced in West Baltimore.  Demorats have been in charge since 1967.

Just one logical question:

Where did all of that federal and state money go?  Certainly not towards the rebuilding of Baltimore.

That’s right, the Baltimore with Leftists and Demorats in charge.  Praise be to Gore.  Salaam Alaikum.

48 years later, everything is better, is it not, because Baltimore PD is finally reflective of its surrounding neighborhoods, right?

Just as Ferguson PD was accused of: not being reflective of its chocolate surroundings.  Because, as we all know, if the cops were all chocolate, Michael Brown wouldn’t have been shot, and Trayvon Martin would still be walking in his hoodie.

Oh wait.  Martin was shot by an Hispanic civilian.  And Baltimore PD reflects its community.  What is quite wrong with these pictures?

Apparently something just doesn’t compute.

But here’s what does compute: black Leftists in charge of Leftist bastions like Baltimore refusing to answer logical and pointed questions because they would be placed in a poor light.  Remember the Obama Rule: asking a pointed question is in and of itself racist in nature.

Particularly by the Evil Fox News, who doggedly insists upon having questions answered:

Oh such Evil!  Such Evil Fox News!

So just what does the Mayor Hyphenate say, as Leland Vittert asks:

1. To the police officers who were injured because the Mayor Hyphenate ordered them not to respond to people using force against them?
2. To the officers who were ordered to not wear certain protective gear lest they appear “too militaristic”?
3. To the businesses that were looted, because the Mayor Hyphenate said “it was only property”?
4. Why did the Baltimore cops shield the Mayor Hyphenate but failed — yes, failed — to protect Baltimore businesses?

More news is coming out about Freddie Gray, as well:

At this point, bottom line?

You want to burn Leftist Cities, FCDs?

You go right ahead.

Smashing cop cars is legitimate

Baltimore Cop Car Smashed

A disenfranchised and aggrieved young black male, having found his “space to destroy” courtesy of the Mayor Hyphenate, does in fact destroy a new $29,000 Chevrolet Caprice Baltimore PD vehicle which, with complete upfitting, costs $36,000.  Prepare to pay up big time, all you Baltimoreans.

So says Benji Hart of Salon Magazine:

Baltimore’s violent protesters are right: Smashing police cars is a legitimate political strategy

It’s crucial to see non-violence as a tactic, not a philosophy. If it fails to win people over it’s a futile tactic

by Benji Hart

As a nation, we fail to comprehend Black political strategy in much the same way we fail to recognize the value of Black life.

And right off the bat I have a few immediate comments for Mr Hart.

Baltimore Cop Car Smashed By More

More disenfranchised and aggrieved young black males, having witnessed the grand fun of the first disenfranchised and aggrieved young black male, decide to partake in the joy of demolishing the same unfortunate Baltimore PD Chevrolet Caprice.

First, smashing police cars is a tactic for those who don’t have to ultimately pay for those cop cars.  Welfare drones such as the thuggish imbeciles portrayed above surely worry not about taxes or having to fund the local government because, in a fashionable reversal, the government funds them.

So for people with no literal investment in a thing, such as that lonely cop car (and many more like that one), it is incredibly easy to destroy.  They didn’t pay for it and ne’er shall they pay for its replacement — which will be more expensive than the original.

Second, please allow me to inject a shocking shard of common sense at this point, common sense that very, very few people seem willing or sufficiently courageous to say or write: I will value black life when black life values itself.  Until then, meh.

Baltimore is controlled by blacks.  90% of those killed in Baltimore are black.  90% of the suspects of those murders are black.  90% of those arrested for robbery are black.  85% of all arrested in Baltimore are black.  Black black black.  As Ray Nagin said, “chocolate.”

Inner city hood rats like the ones displayed above are endemic throughout urban areas of all major American cities — and that brings us to an incredibly important question.

Just who runs the governments of these major American cities, rife with thugs the likes of which are illustrated above in full riotous action?

Why yes, that would be Leftists and Demorats.

And just who has failed these thugs and inner city denizens?  Is it the police, who have no say in the society in which they must operate?  Is it the citizens themselves?  To a point, yes.  But not with ultimate responsibility.

Who has truly failed these inner city denizens?

It is the same Leftists and Demorats who run the governments of these cities.

Kevin Williamson just Tweeted that “Baltimore is the Left fighting the Left over the failed policies of the Left.”

Kevin D Williamson[Kevin D. Williamson, a black man, has his excellent article here, about Baltimore and its riots.]

And that is entirely correct.

We see ghettos and crime and absent parents where we should see communities actively struggling against mental health crises and premeditated economic exploitation. And when we see police cars being smashed and corporate property being destroyed, we should see reasonable responses to generations of extreme state violence, and logical decisions about what kind of actions yield the desired political results.

“Corporate property being destroyed.”  Of course.  Because there are corporate businesses on every street corner in Baltimore, owned by giant conglomerates thousands of miles away.  Except: that is predominantly bullshit.  Most of the businesses impacted were small and personally/locally owned.  Sure, CVS is a “corporation.”  But it also employed local people who depended on that CVS for a paycheck.

I’m overwhelmed by the pervasive slandering of protesters in Baltimore this weekend for not remaining peaceful. The bad-apple rhetoric would have us believe that most Baltimore protesters are demonstrating the right way—as is their constitutional right—and only a few are disrupting the peace, giving the movement a bad name.

Of course.  Calling a thug a thug is slander, as we watch selfsame thugs act thuggishly and brutalize local businesses, looting, burning.  Clearly, yes, according to Leftists, calling a criminal a criminal is slanderous labeling of the worst degree.

I do not advocate non-violence—particularly in a moment like the one we currently face. In the spirit and words of militant Black and Brown feminist movements from around the globe, I believe it is crucial that we see non-violence as a tactic, not a philosophy.

“I do not advocate non-violence.”

A wonderful thing, Benji Hart.  Perhaps your very own neighborhood and even your apartment building might be caught up in the next flash-burning of a major city.  I can only hope.  Then and only then might you begin to realize that violence — as you have clearly advocated — has consequences.

You Leftist loon.
