Flashback 1881 the socialist movement 'Narodnaya Volya' People's Will began in 1879 . It was a short lived movement that could be identified as the beginning of the end of tsarist Russia. 1881 there was a notable assassination. Tsar Alexander II was murdered in March . He was attacked with bombs thrown at his carriage in Saint Petersburg. The executive committee of People's Will planned the attack.
Russia has a series of terrorist attacks and assassinations in the prelude to the Russian Revolution Groups like the Socialists Revolutionary party (SR') had a Combat Organization that targeted high-ranking officials, including Ministers of the Interior and Grand Dukes, in an effort to weaken the Tsarist government. They used a variety of methods, including assassinations, bombings, and incendiary attacks.
Then there was the White Terror ;and the Red Terror against and by the Bolsheviks.
Assassination was accepted as a legitimate political tool
Fast forward to last year. There were 2 attempts on the life of Trump. There was the execution style murder of United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione. The coward shot him in the back. Mangione has become a hero to the left.
Yesterday the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion was fire bombed while Guv Josh Shapiro and family slept inside. (as of this time no motive has been revealed ) .
Elon Musk revealed that he is the subject of multiple death threats .
Nicholas Roske ,a would be assassin was targeting Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh .
'Network Contagion Research Institute '(NCRI) has published a report that should be stunning but in fact doesn't surprise me at all. Joel Finkelstein of NCRI calls it an acceptance of an 'Assassination Culture'.“What was formerly taboo culturally has become acceptable,”
4/7/25 - NCRI Assassination Culture Brief - Network Contagion Research Institute (https://networkcontagion.us/reports/4-7-25-ncri-assassination-culture-brief/)
55.2% of lefties said that assassinating Trump was somewhat justified (why not ;wouldn't assassinating Hitler been justified ? ) Almost 50% felt the same about Musk. Targeting Tesla dealers was justified . (58%)
In California a ballot initiative against Health Care companies is called the Luigi Mangione Act.
"Luigi Mangione Act" controversial health care initiative | cbs8.com (https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/controversial-health-care-ballot-initiative-named-after-alleged-murderer-luigi-mangione/509-0a6c71c1-e3c0-4f76-ba2d-0097b2f9eb9b)
The survey says these opinions are mainstream ;a " part of a tightly connected belief system linked to what we call left-wing authoritarianism."
The report singles out BlueSky, a social media platform favored by progressive users, as a major amplifier of extremist ideation.
“BlueSky was modeled as a safe alternative to Twitter for the left, but what it’s become is an extremist platform,” Finkelstein said. “It functions today much like 4chan or Gab once did for far-right ideologies. These platforms are now lead indicators of violent real-world trends.”
According to the NCRI’s open-source analysis, BlueSky saw a spike in engagement on posts referencing Mangione, Trump and Musk, crossing over 200,000 posts and 2 million engagements in just months. Reddit currently hosts pro-Mangione communities with tens of thousands of members.
New study reveals a spread of 'assassination culture' under Trump's rule (https://nypost.com/2025/04/07/us-news/new-study-reveals-a-spread-of-assassination-culture-under-trumps-rule/?utm_campaign=nypost&utm_medium=referral#!)
But a big hat tip has to go the Dem leaders who frequently suggest that political violence is acceptable .
(I will not post them again as I have already provided a number of examples. )
Did their words set the tone ?

Our report also discovered an online “assassination culture,” found in predominantly left-leaning digital spaces, such as Bluesky and Reddit. This subculture justifies and glorifies political violence. Some of these networks’ users wield the name “Luigi” or use the Luigi video game character as coded endorsements of Brian Thompson’s alleged assassin, Luigi Mangione. These users cloak explicit calls for violence in stylized memes. Many believe that political murder and sabotage are acceptable forms of protest.
What motivates these attitudes? To answer that, we looked for statistical associations between respondents’ backing for political violence and other psychological and behavioral measures. We identified three key variables that predict support for violence: left-wing authoritarianism (characterized by a willingness to use coercion and punishment for progressive aims), external locus of control (the extent to which individuals feel powerless in their lives), and use of the left-wing social media platform Bluesky.
This finding is especially concerning, as it reveals that many progressives have adopted a coherent ideology that justifies political violence. While right-wing extremism certainly exists, its left-wing equivalent merits considerable attention. Unfortunately, it has been historically understudied (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34383522) and, according to corroborating reports (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/rising-acceptance-of-political-violence-promises-nothing-good-for-the-u-s), is on the rise.

What a surprise . The man who fire bombed the Pennsylvania Guv mansion and attempted to assassinate Guv Shapiro and family is Cody Balmer .
No motive has yet been given for the arson attack on the governor’s Harrisburg home, but a Facebook account believed to be run by Balmer, according to sources, includes a number of radical posts, images of guns and at least one apparent call for violence.
He told police he’d planned to beat Shapiro with a hammer if he encountered him, according to a probable cause affidavit........Balmer also shared multiple left-wing anti-capitalist posts on his Facebook

The lunatics are celebrating the murder of Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione with a musical. It's debut next month was sold out within hours of the tickets going on sale.
It is a "comedy " that imagines him in the same prison cell as Sam Bankman-Fried and Sean "Diddy" Combs
Our characters reflect three institutions of modern disillusionment: healthcare, tech, and Hollywood. Each represents a pillar of American life where public trust has eroded and where people increasingly feel betrayed, exploited, or abandoned.

2 . A member of the extreme left murders 2 staffers of the Israeli embassy .

The left has completely bought into the rhetoric of the Islamic terrorists .
In the first decade of the 21st century, the United States was attacked by jihadists who drew the country into a yearslong, multifront war. At the start of the third decade, we were attacked in a far different fashion, from within. Left-wing radicals embarked on a violent campaign to upend the cultural and political order of the nation. Both attacks changed us in significant ways, but neither one broke us. In 2023, seizing on Hamas’s October 7 massacre of Israelis, the jihadists and the left-wing radicals explicitly joined forces.

But no police force, not even the best in the world, can hold back a culture that has embraced violence as a means of expression, that has lost hold of the difference between life and death.

I am writing a new fiction novel called 'The Shadow Government ' . It is about a President becoming infirmed and incapable of doing the work of the Presidency . So a cabal of staffers essentially run the nation signing the President's name to official legal documents using an autopen. The cabal includes the First Lady and the son of the President along with 3 staffers who worked in the shadows . Have these three no-name employees — have they been operating a shadow government? Have they been privy to classified information? Do they have national security clearance? Have they been ordering the Cabinet secretaries to do various job duties?
The most active time in this President's term was in the last 100 days with a flurry of executive orders that affect the decision making powers of the next President . He also issues 2500 clemency and pardons in his last days in office. Overall there was probably more Presidential activity in his last 100 days than the rest of his Presidency as he spends most of his time sleeping on a beach.
The pardons includes family members who ran a criminal crime organization using his influence as a powerful office holder to accept bribes from various nations both friendly and hostile .
It is so incredibly unbelievably that it has to be a great conspiracy fiction novel.

ICE officers are under assault as the left has fully embraced assassination as a form of protest .
State and federal officials announced on Monday that 10 people were arrested for engaging in a "planned ambush" on an ICE detention facility in Texas over the Fourth of July holiday.
The individuals were charged with attempted murder of a federal officer, according to court records.
The incident occurred at the Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas, on Friday, according to Nancy Larson, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas.
At approximately 10:37 p.m., 10 to 12 individuals dressed in black, military-style clothing began shooting fireworks and engaging in acts of vandalism at the facility, Larson said during a press conference.
Larson said the incident "was a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers."
Some individuals drew correction officers out of the facility using the fireworks while others damaged vehicles and vandalized the facility with graffiti, Larson said.
When an Alvarado police officer arrived on the scene, one of the individuals shot him in the neck. Another individual shot 20 to 30 rounds at the facility correction officers, according to Larson.

Now the Dems are afraid of the constituents they groomed for violence .
Axios spoke to more than two dozen House Democrats for this story, with many requesting anonymity to offer candid insights about their interactions with constituents and activists......
The grassroots wants more. "Some of them have suggested ... what we really need to do is be willing to get shot" when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.
"Our own base is telling us that what we're doing is not good enough ... [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public," the lawmaker said.
A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them "civility isn't working" and to prepare for "violence ... to fight to protect our democracy."
A fifth House Democrat told Axios that "people online have sent me crazy s*** ... told me to storm the White House and stuff like that," though they added that "there's always people on the internet saying crazy stuff."

"And someone at the table said, 'Have you tried gasoline?'"
July 4 Ice was ambushed in Texas by a dozen mostly peaceful protesters .
Approximately 10 minutes after convening at the ICE facility, one or two individuals broke off from the main group and began to spray graffiti on vehicles and a guard structure in the parking lot, authorities said. Photos included in the criminal complaint, filed in the Northern District of Texas, show vehicles tagged with the messages "ICE pig" and "F--- you pigs." Correction officers dialed 911 and an Alvarado police officer (https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/crime/police-and-law-enforcement) responded to the scene.
Immediately after the officer got out of his vehicle, one defendant positioned in nearby woods allegedly shot the officer in the neck, according to the complaint. Another assailant, wearing a green mask and standing across the street, then allegedly fired 20 to 30 rounds at unarmed correctional officers who had stepped outside the facility......
The complaint notes that the defendants were "dressed in black, military-style clothing," some were wearing body armor, some were armed, and some had two-way radios.
Prosecutors said a total of twelve sets of body armor were found during searches of vehicles associated with the defendants, on their persons, and in the area around the Prairieland Detention Center. Law enforcement also found spray paint, magazines containing ammunition and flyers stating, "FIGHT ICE TERROR WITH CLASS WAR!" and "FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS." A flag was found that read, "RESIST FASCISM – FIGHT OLIGARCHY."

So how are our lawmakers responding to these acts of violence by their supporters ?
Senator Alex Padilla who had to be restrained from attacking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in Los Angeles ;and Senator Spartacus have introduced legislation to dox Ice Agents so their violent supporters will know the names of the Ice Agents and where their families live.
The bill requires officers from Ice, the Department of Homeland Security, or other state and federal agencies detailed for immigration enforcement to clearly display their agency name or acronym and either their name or badge number without tactical gear or clothing covering it up. It would prohibit non-medical face coverings such as masks or balaclavas that obscure an officer’s identity.

Ice is enforcing the laws that Congress passed with bipartisan support . It was not that long ago when Dems position was that immigration laws need to be enforced . So instead of trying to get law enforcement officers killed by their legislation maybe their should change to immigration laws. I can see it now ; the Senator Spartacus Bill to allow gangbangers and other worldwide criminals to legally cross the border and establish residency .
