..tied White officers to planks and slowly fed them into furnaces or tanks of boiling water; In Kharkiv, scalpings and hand-flayings were commonplace: the skin was peeled off victims' hands to produce "gloves"; The Voronezh Cheka rolled naked people around in barrels studded internally with nails; victims were crucified or stoned to death at Dnipropetrovsk; the Cheka at Kremenchuk impaled members of the clergy and buried alive rebelling peasants; in Orel, water was poured on naked prisoners bound in the winter streets until they became living ice statues; in Kiev, Chinese Cheka detachments placed rats in iron tubes sealed at one end with wire netting and the other placed against the body of a prisoner, with the tubes being heated until the rats gnawed through the victim's body in an effort to escape.
..."it became a common practice to take a husband hostage and wait for his wife to come and purchase his life with her body"....the Cheka in Kislovodsk, "for lack of a better idea," killed all the patients in the hospital...Gellately adds that Communist leaders "sought to justify their ethnic-based massacres by incorporating them into the rubric of the 'class struggle'".
Members of the clergy were subjected to particularly brutal abuse. According to documents cited by the late Alexander Yakovlev, then head of the Presidential Committee for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Political Repression, priests, monks and nuns were crucified, thrown into cauldrons of boiling tar, scalped, strangled, given Communion with melted lead and drowned in holes in the ice.[29] An estimated 3,000 were put to death in 1918 alone.

but if they kill off all the military and LEO types, who would they use to enforce their agenda? surely you can't be suggesting that the politicians would be willing to get out there and get their hands dirty, right? any regime needs an enforcement arm, so if you're putting forward the idea that the regime would kill off its entire enforcement arm...i'm not following your logic.

Yes some humans are capable of doing the most gruesome acts,unseen by any other species in the world.History has thought us how ruthlessly violent individuals can be under certain circumstances....But at the same time,there were always loving caring good intentioned people to out weigh the evil ones...Evil has been,is and always going to be a part of humanity,but fortunately they always underestimate the power of the good and their kingdom don't last forever....And hopefully a day would come that there will be no Evil,,or is that to much to ask?

and my point is that without any power to impose, where is the imposition? if the "strong arm" is eliminated, nothing can be imposed on anybody. the military frequently says "we don't make foreign policy, we enforce it.' so if you eliminated all the people charged with enforcing the government's will, how does that will get imposed on anybody?

so who's going to kill off the military and the LEOs? it was a good bit different back in the days of Rome. sending the legions to Gaul required weeks and months of travel. today's military can make to "Gaul" and back in less than a day. I'm really just looking for you to explain how it is the entire military complex and LEO complex of the country could be wiped out before any sort of reaction could be mounted. if some sort of "force" showed up outside Ft. Riley in Kansas, I really can't see an entire infantry division just saying 'oh, you're here to wipe us out to further your NWO agenda? well, okay then, i guess so.' I would've been far more likely to buy into your story had you said something about an indoctrination period or something along those lines. but to suggest that the government's answer is to somehow build up a policy enforcement arm bigger and better than the one already in place, and then wipe it out, is absurd.

seriously guy, it's not a matter of believing or not believing. its asking you to prove your statement and explain it. listing 'stage mass shootings' over and over again isn't proof. your historical fact about sending the military away was from Roman times, when armies might make it 30 miles in a 24 hour period. our military can make it anywhere on the globe in 24 hours. our military is referred to as both men of honor and people too dumb to notice they're being hearded to an execution chamber in the same post. you can't have it both ways.
