Watching the Democrats implode is quite instructive. As noted earlier, California Governor Gavin Newsom had been pretending to be a moderate prior to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement sweeps in Los Angeles. Sweeps that prompted the left’s anarchists and Bolshevik wannabes into action after, no doubt, some serious prompting and financing from the Soros breed of globalist kingpins. The Dems have played their usual game of selective outrage and blatant gaslighting about “mostly peaceful protests.” They can’t help themselves. They are the epigones of leftist revolutionaries of the past — Dostoevsky’s “Possessed,” driven by existential rage, hubris, and the urge to destroy. Possessed by the demonic power of what James Billington called “fire in the minds of men,” a revolutionary faith, a rebellious fervor directed at Being itself, at God, at social and moral norms that would limit their Faustian impulses and contain self-pity manifested as a lust for revenge.
This rebellion will not stop on its own. The reports on who has been arrested because ICE raided a drug cartel linked business –included a previously deported illegal alien charged with attempted murder for tossing a Molotov Cocktail at cops–prove that the left and its sponsors will continue this war indefinitely. President Trump must invoke the Insurrection Act now.
Understanding what motivates these people is the key to defeating them. California’s weak, effete pretty boy governor and scolding Nurse Ratched LA Mayor Karen Bass are two common types among the possessed. The left is essentially feminine. It uses manipulation, passive aggressive role-playing, and subversive “performance art” to undermine the social order, a political style codified and directed by the Soviets in the 1920’s under the guise of “Critical theory.” The attack is often indirect and veiled. The transvaluation of all values turns the society they hate on its head, makes criminals victims and heroes, while responsible authority is cast as tyrannical. It’s an attack on order, an adolescent rebellion against a father figure writ large. The right is essentially masculine in its reflexes, it is direct, it places order, obligation, moral fortitude and physical courage and sacrifice high in its hierarchy of values. Naturally, both masculine and feminine impulses are necessary in a complementarity that greases the wheels of any society. But when one becomes unmoored from the other, its worst tendencies manifest themselves. What your observer has called “pathological empathy,” for example, is, I believe, misdirected maternal instinct, itself a foundational good. But victimology, not the “tough love” of a caring parent, is at the core of pathological empathy.
The left and its managerial sponsors are thus using an old revolutionary playbook, tested in 19th-century Europe, and repeatedly applied in the 20th century around the world. One method is provocation. The leftist provocateur aims to induce a sharp response from the police and then play the victim, framing the provoked reaction as tyrannical brutality. In the 21st century, leftist tactics include using the Internet and high-speed communications to conjure up “flash mobs” that advance, retreat, or evaporate as needed, probing for signs of weakness or lack of resolve in its opponents.There is no clear “front” in their war of subversion. The left operates as a network of interconnected cells. The leftists’ sponsors provide the hardware — gas masks, bricks, body armor — and the virtual networks that are the life’s blood of the coordinated mob. The effect is a low-level guerilla war with a strong propaganda component. Antifa “activists” are playing the role of the left’s professional revolutionaries of another era.
Three groups are at work in the coordinated actions in other cities across the country. A pool of illegal aliens, millions of whom have invaded our country, the activist-revolutionaries, and a stratum of managerial commissars who are the revolution’s enablers. In our country and across the developed world, that third group represents a trans-national globalist elite that is fighting to preserve its power, sponsoring the revolution. Donald Trump and MAGA represent a counter-revolutionary force that is wider than the United States. In Ireland, for example, populist protesters are wearing green caps that read “Make Eire Great Again.”
As I wrote previously, we cannot allow this situation to go on. The left-globalist Blob does not intend to surrender, and, in fact, is demanding that we surrender our streets, our cities, and our country to them. Mr. President, invoke the Insurrection Act and use all necessary force to end the anarchy. Federal law enforcement must act now to identify, arrest, and punish the financiers of revolution. Do it now, while your popularity is at a peak and the Dems are digging themselves a public opinion grave. If not us, who? If not now, when?

America is at an inflection point. If millions of illegal aliens are not deported during the next three years, The America of history and tradition will be lost forever. California is the battlefront. The state’s population is now more than 40% Hispanic, mostly of Mexican birth or descent. The non-Hispanic white population is less than 34%. Most of the state’s Hispanic population is of recent vintage, either illegal immigrants or the children and grandchildren of illegal immigrants who have come into California during the last 40 or 50 years.
During the 1950s and 60s, California was more than 80% non-Hispanic white and less than 10% Hispanic. But today? The transformation of the state has been stunning. The repatriation of all illegal aliens must occur now–or it will be too late. For California it may already be too late.
