Graham Platner’s tattoo – Nazi SS Totenkopf or “death’s head” symbol as displayed on SS officer’s cap
This past primary election saw a continued and deepening rift between Republicans and Democrats, those who believe in America and those who ardently do not.
The campaigns are no longer about methods for achieving the same goals. The goals are vastly different. There is nothing they agree on. The Democrat Party has no policies they want to bring forward lest they show their hand, losing every election for the foreseeable future.
Their candidates, increasingly, are looking more like street thug Bolsheviks than educated loyal Americans. They’re communists and don’t hide it.
At the present there are 31 Democrats running for either a House seat or a Senate seat in November. All are communists. They would, of course say they are democratic socialists.
It has become clear that the new Democrat Party wants socialism, or, as any educated person knows, a nicer word for communism.
The Russian Bolsheviks of 1917, renamed communists, as well as the Chinese communists, were similar to today’s democratic socialists. They wanted equality of rights, a classless society, social welfare, universal healthcare, free education, labor protections, the end of capitalism, the profit motive, and private ownership. This agenda includes abolishing the DHS and ICE, defunding the police, releasing criminals, opening borders, packing the Supreme Court, ending the Electoral College (which would diminish minority rights), repealing the 2nd Amendment to prevent government accountability, allowing illegal immigrants to vote, and eliminating voter ID requirements.
In 1917, Lenin argued that the economy was too fragile to immediately transition to communism, instead wanted to retain capitalism until production was stabilized. Nevertheless, the Bolsheviks moved to eliminate capitalism immediately. The policy resulted in severe economic collapse.
Hungry Russian women kneel in front of an American aid official in 1922, as the Bolsheviks were emerging victorious after five years of bitter fighting.
What the Russian and Chinese people received instead was totalitarian repression, political purges, mass executions, forced labor, 100+ million dead, starvation, and shortages of everything. The one thing they did manage to receive, however, was a classless society; everyone was made poor.
There was no longer any choice of government; the communist system was permanent. Any voting was an exercise in futility. As Stalin used to say, “It’s not the voting, it’s the counting.”
It will also be the end of massive consumerism. You will stop buying new cars every few years or even owning one… better for the environment. Clothing stores will face a drastic reduction in choices; supermarkets will be a thing of the past, the latest technology will be unavailable.
One must understand that communism is organized crime. Communism is not about ideology; it does not involve a group coming together to discuss how to best serve their citizens. In every case, communism served to control the masses, enrich the oligarchs and impoverish the people who thought they were going to get a better life.
Dr. Adam Hamawy wants a Senate seat from New Jersey. He was a combat physician. He is a Muslim with widely reported ties to the “blind sheikh,” Abdel Rahman. Rahman was convicted on terrorist and sedition charges, his followers having conducted the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Abdel-Rahman spoke at a conference in Michigan and talked of “conquering the land of the infidels.” Even after the World Trade Center bombing, Hamawy acknowledged translating a document for Abdel-Rahman for a press conference. (Politico).
Hamawy is one of many Democrat candidates who complain of being tagged guilty by association. I should hope so.
Graham Platner is another example of Democrats lowering the bar for any seat they think they can win. In this case, it’s a Senate seat. A high school graduate (wow) he manages to garner a scandal almost every week with explicit text messages to multiple women while married and sexting allegations. Married in 2024, they already have a marriage counselor in addition to each having their own private counselor.
Platner says he got the Nazi tattoo during a “night of drinking” while on leave with the Marines in Croatia (Fox News). He has since covered the tattoo with another one.
Platner made a statement in 2020 as to why he joined the Marines. “I wanted to have an adventure and kill some people.” One would think killing people would be the result, not a cause.
In posts reported by CNN, he referred to himself as a communist and socialist and endorsed the slogan “all cops are bas—ds.” He also has accused Senator Collins of accepting money from Jews.
Nothing but the best for the Senate.
Abdul El-Sayed is a candidate trying to get a Democrat Senate seat. This time from Michigan. A devout Muslim, he would call himself a progressive Democrat. He wants Medicare for all, the Green New Deal, a jobs guarantee, and universal housing. Sounds like socialism. El-Sayed also wants to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and reform the Supreme Court.
To a Democrat, that means giving up our sovereignty as a nation, engaging in radical social justice and environmental demands that will involve unrealistic energy transitions and major government overreach, and packing the court so it always goes their way.
El-Sayed said targeting both his rivals and a sponsor at a conference: “I’ll tell you this, the revolution is definitely not coming if we’re not fighting for it.”
The upcoming election in November will determine whether we continue to uphold our constitutional republic or shift toward a Marxist, Bolshevik-style socialist government. Their goal will demand a complete dismantling of our current system and will require the left to use our freedoms against us, and, if they win, they will, most assuredly, abolish them.
