The Mind of Stalin

A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.

Death solves all problems - no person, no problem.

Education is a weapon whose effect depends on who holds it in their hands and at whom it is aimed.

Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't allow our enemies to have guns. Why should we allow them to have ideas?

I trust no one, not even myself.

The easiest way to gain control of the population is to carry out acts of terror. The public will clamor for strict laws if they believe that their personal security is threatened.

The greatest delight is to identify one's enemy, prepare everything, avenge oneself thoroughly and then go to sleep.

The world must be divided into regional groups as a transitional stage to world government. Populations will more readily abandon their national loyalty to a vague regional loyalty than they will for a world authority. Later the regions can be brought together into a single world dictatorship.

Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.

The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money and with the flick of a pen they will create enough money to buy it back again. Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear for then this would be a better and happier world to live in. However, if you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, let bankers continue to create money and control credit.

Just think during WW II this guy was called Uncle Stalin. He starved most of the population of Russia. I wonder how many of his ideas the far Left follows. The education quote the Left follows. The terror quote almost sounds like what Van Jones (Obama’s ex-advisor) would say—top down, inside out, bottom up.

Al Qaeda Terrorist Wanted by FBI Crossed Back and Forth Into U.S. From Mexico

From Judicial Watch.org (Dec. 8):

An Al Qaeda terrorist on the FBI’s most wanted list for years crossed back and forth into the United States from Mexico to meet fellow militant Islamists in Texas and piloted an aircraft into the Cielo Dorado airfield in Anthony, New Mexico, law enforcement sources tell Judicial Watch.

The same Al Qaeda operative helped plan the 2009 bombing of talk-show superstar Oprah Winfrey’s Chicago studios and the iconic Sears Tower (renamed Willis Tower), a story that Judicial Watch broke just last week. His name is Adnan G. El Shukrijumah (also known as “Javier Robles”) and over the weekend he was killed in Pakistan, according to military officials in the Islamic republic.

In 2010 Shukrijumah was indicted in the Eastern District of New York for his role in a terrorist plot to attack targets in the United States—including New York City’s subway system—and the United Kingdom, according the FBI. The plot against New York City’s subway system was directed by senior Al Qaeda leadership in Pakistan, the FBI says, and was also directly related to a scheme by Al Qaeda plotters in Pakistan to use Western operatives to attack a target in the United States.

A year earlier Shukrijumah helped plan a terrorist truck-bomb plot targeting Winfrey’s Harpo Studios and the Sears Tower. Two of his fellow conspirators—Emad Karakrah and Hector Pedroza Huerta—were recently arrested for unrelated state crimes in different parts of the country. Karakrah is in Cook County, Illinois Jail on charges of making a false car bomb threat after leading police on a high-speed chase through Chicago with an ISIS flag waving from his car in August. Huerta, an illegal alien twice convicted for driving intoxicated, is in the El Paso County Jail and is scheduled to be sentenced later this month. [read more]

If this Jihadist can slip back and forth across the border so easily then so can other terrorists. He could have just as well committed terroristic acts (like planting a bomb) when he was over in America. Good news is he has been killed before he could cause any mayhem.

All I can say is secure the border! The US can start by enforcing the laws it already has on the books.

Government tells Americans to stop eating cookie dough

From The Blaze.com (Dec. 8):

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued an order that millions of Americans will likely find impossible to carry out: stop eating raw cookie dough.

“Avoid raw or partially cooked eggs or foods containing raw eggs, such as cookie dough,” USDA advised in an email over the weekend.

Carrying out that simple 15-word recommendation would radically change millions of lives, from families who routinely bake cookies and invite the kids to scoop batter out of the bowl, to people who scarf down pre-packaged cookie dough, to everyone who eats cookie dough found in ice cream.

Simply put, it’s not immediately clear that America is ready to take on USDA’s mission. But it’s also unclear if it’s necessary — there is something of a debate over whether it’s safe to eat cookie dough, or whether the risk of getting salmonella from raw eggs is too high. [read more]

And while you’re at it stopping eating raw hamburger meat. Understand? And be sure you look both ways before crossing the street. And for God’s sake don’t run with knives! Finally, don’t talk with your mouth full of food.

This stupid PSA is like when they had instructions on TV a while back on how to use a microwave oven. I couldn’t believe it. How long has the personal microwave oven been around? Since the 1960’s? And now the gov’t decides do a info ad about how to properly use a microwave oven?

To paraphrase Herman Cain’s book—the gov’t thinks the public is stupid.

20 Signs You Are Living in a Progressive Utopia

From The Blaze.com (Dec. 4):

It can be said that progressivism at its core seeks to turn the world upside down.

It is an ideology and a tactic of modern-day Sophists who seek to replace facts with narrative, justice with injustice, morality with immorality and virtue with vice — but it does so with a smile on its face.

Consequently, in order to identify whether one is in fact living in a progressive Utopia, one merely needs to identify instances in one’s society, economy and political system, themselves a natural outgrowth of the culture (itself an outgrowth of the ideas that a people has imbibed), in which facts, logic and history have been shoved aside in favor of the whims of the wise collective.

Here are 20 signs that you might be living in such a blissful place:

1) When the executive branch has effectively become the legislative branch

2) When the notions of secure borders and national sovereignty are considered thinly-veiled euphemisms for racial hatred

3) When justice means determining a person is guilty before seeing any evidence, then rioting, looting and destroying property when said person does not even make it to trial

4) When those who riot, loot and destroy property are considered freedom-fighters, and those who peacefully assemble are considered radical extremists

5) When criminals advise law enforcement on how to do its job

6) When those who see every issue through the prism of race, sex and class are considered paragons of tolerance, and those who see people as individuals are racist, sexist bigots

7) When illegal immigrants are granted equal if not greater ”rights” and benefits than law abiding citizens

8) When instead of targeting the jihadists responsible for committing the murders of thousands of innocents, the government targets the counter-jihadists

9) When the leaders of your Republic defend to the death those who wish to destroy her, while deriding those who wish to save her

10) When countries like Egypt and the United Arab Emirates designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, but yours does not [read more]

More like a progressive dystopia. Then again the Left has a distorted almost insane view of utopia.
