Power To The People Always Ends In The Hands Of One Brutal Man
I have been rereading Winds of War by Herman Wouk. I read it many years ago and remembered liking it. I was struck by the story of a WWII German submarine attacking a British Royal Navy compound at Scapa Flow at night, sinking a British battleship. I didn’t recognize the name Scapa Flow, so did some investigating and found that the event was real, as were the entire details of the event. As I’ve moved through the book, I’ve continued checking names and events and find that the book is solid historical fiction. At my place in the book now, Germany violated their pact with Russia in 1941 and put the Soviets underseige, where eventually Germany lost. This brings me to a video-documentary that I found online – free, about the the Russian people and their yearning for ‘people power,’ a false hope that decimated the country under Communism.
The website linked below, has a long list of documentaries. One that caught my attention is pertinent to today’s politics and the book I am reading. For three years we have listened to Obama drone on-and-on about equality, spreading the wealth, a fair playing-field, a level playing-field, and becoming more like Europeans. His background is deeply meshed in Communism, and the video I watched is, wait for it…Communism.
