Note that President Barack Obama has now touched down in Britain, and security is extremely tight. The Daily Mail reports, "City on alert for anarchy as Obama sweeps into London for G20 talks with world leaders." At Bloomberg, "London Protesters Threaten Bankers, Evoke Executions."
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal's describes the preparations as "fortress-like security for world leaders," and the article features a photo of a protest-banner that reads, "Capitalism Isn't Working ... Another World is Possible."
I pray for the president's safety, but for those who say, "it couldnt' happen here" ... it already is, here and here , and that's just for starters.
In the last century, and depending on whose numbers you believe, Marxism/Leninism/communism or whatever other "ism" you want to call it, managed to directly or indirectly murder between 100 and 200 million people.
ReplyDeleteShould present trends continue unaltered, I wonder how many are destined to be killed by this same murderous ideology, or some derivative thereof, during the 91 years remaining in this century?

Technology has advanced very rapidly in the last several years. What a shame that people don't seem to be able to advance along with it. Obama will probably be safe with all the security he has, but for the life of me I can't understand why he wouldn't be safe. After all, he's all about socializing everything!
ReplyDeletePerhaps if people would pay attention to history perhaps they wouldn't be so eager to repeat it.
