Triumph of Provocation Józef Mackiewicz-really a good place to begin discussing Bolshevik Russia and seeing a bright light illuminating the cities on the plain from target lasers and MIRV-like tiny nuclear warheads the size of a matchbox car yielding blockbuster effects.
Among the many stories about Tarrytown and nearby Sleepy Hollow, there is one that is most famous. A Hessian soldier was killed there during a battle in the Revolutionary War. His wound was terrible, caused by cannonball fire. The poor soldier lost his head. He was buried, with his head, in a nearby graveyard.
For many years after the soldier’s death, people said that sometimes, in the middle of the night, especially when the moon was full and shining brightly, and when all the townspeople were fast asleep, the soldier would come out of his grave. They said the headless ghost mounted a horse and galloped through the countryside.
Lord help us all as the headless horseman, pulls the fire engine Red coach riding Pegasus.
This masterful political treatise, first published in 1962, examines the history and nature of Communism as it developed in the Soviet Union and in Poland. Józef Mackiewicz, known for his relentless opposition to Communism, argues that accommodation with the Communists simply helped them to impose their vision of the world and pursue their goal of global domination. He compares Communism to Nazism and insists that the former was the greater threat to the future of humanity.
Mackiewicz's unique interpretation of the differences and similarities between Communism and Nazism is highly relevant to debates about these two systems and to major contemporary issues which are of particular importance to the U.S. and Europe, including radical Islam and the necessity of war and the responsibility for war.
A choir of Angels breaks out
Undertaker, won’t you please drive slow
For that lady that you’re hauling
Lord I hate to see her go
Will the circle…
Well I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hold my sorrow
When they laid her in thе grave

It is said that support for the war is high in Russia.
That’s not exactly right. What is high is the support for the war effort. The Russians are at war with the whole world, what other choice do they have but support Russia’s effort?
But that’s not the same thing as being an appreciator of the war. To support a war you first have to know basic things about it. What is the objective? How can it be accomplished? And at what cost?
If the nation is asked to finish what Putin started (without consulting with it) then it will go to Ukraine and finish the job.
And then the veterans will come back and will pass judgment on whether they were well-led in the war, was the war worth it, and was the war a wise decision or the work of a pyromaniac.
A leader who does not issue a call to arms when the situation clearly demands it is one who is not certain the people’s judgment would be in his favor.
