    There is always internal competition within totalitarian regimes, hence the secret police and purges, but the monarchy was erased in Russia.

    Stalin's NKVD liquidated the radical Spanish Left almost as efficiently as the Russian monarchy.

    In American politics it is almost always all about the money.

    "Thus business's agenda has an open-ended mercurial, opportunistic character. If one strategy for gaining a benefit gets nowhere, it is soon dropped in favor of a project with better prospects. As a result, companies and trade associations never know who their allies and enemies will be in the future. That is why business likes to go along with those in power and hates to oppose them."

    "The technical term for the philosophy that guides business in its dealings with the state is corporatism - broadly, the management of a nation's markets and politics by companies, unions, other producer groups in their own interests, backed up where necessary by the power of government."
    The Suicidal Corporation, How Big Business Fails America, Paul H. Weaver, Simon and Schuster Inc. 1988. p 182.

    Competition indeed. No one was safe in the Soviet Union. Stalin wiped out the Politburo over a couple of years.

    Ever thus. From Day 1 of our Republic.

    Both of our major political parties are connected to and immersed in corporate money. The idea Democrats are leaping toward socialism is unsupported by the facts.

    What typhus?

    https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2018/10/05/typhus-epidemic-hits-pasadena/
    There have been 20 confirmed cases of typhus fever among Pasadena residents so far this year, the Pasadena Public Health Department said.
    Pasadena averages only between one and five cases annually.


    https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/201...l-carpets-have-to-be-ripped-out-of-city-hall/
    this one is the one I just saw on TV. Worth the watch. Article too.
    The problems in her office building — rats, trash, a homeless encampment just outside — are well-known. And Greenwood believes they led her to getting typhus. She was diagnosed with the disease this past November.

    More Feb 3, '19
    https://www.dailywire.com/news/42992/los-angeles-dealing-deadly-flea-borne-typhus-emily-zanotti
    According to L.A. public health officials, there were more than 120 reported cases of typhus in 2018, and that number is increasing steadily in the first months of 2019.


    BTW also involved are Long Beach and Glendale along with Pasadena and L.A.

    Got typhus?

    There are those who have genuinely fallen on hard times through no fault of their own (think redundancy and mortgage foreclosure?) who deserve and will appreciate all the support they can get, and there are those who are feckless alcoholics and substance abusers who er, don't. We have an expression here in the UK which succinctly sums it up - Unfortunates who deserve a hand-up, and volunteer down-and-outs who expect a hand-out. I don't want to come across as being personal, but I'd guess you're a female.

    As to the military vets - from what I've seen on documentaries here, they have been cynically and inhumanely betrayed by their superiors and their political representatives, and it's not at all surprising that many of them have turned to alcohol; so don't confuse them with the feckless ones I mentioned above.

    Murine Typhus

    Murine typhus, also called endemic typhus or flea-borne typhus, is a disease caused by a bacteria called Rickettsia typhi.

    The Communist totalitarian model depended on the terror generated by periodic purges of the secret police/spy agencies, the military and eventually random purges of the general population. Anti-Communists who really want to see all the Communist liquidated should support Communist government. ;-)

    If you do that the first target for rat shooting is going to be the Trump administration.

    Ordinary American Democrats and Republicans, as opposed to DP/RP pols, are not corrupt insiders. Government is inherently corrupt and dangerous hence the need to restrain its size and power.

    It was Japan who back in 1908 or so who started planning for war against the United States, along with Great Britain, France and the Dutch.

    Why do you think Japan declared war on Germany in 1914 during WW l when Japan was half way around the world ?

    For Japan to sink the U.S. Navy fleet it would need the "Mandate Islands" (Central Pacific Micronesia Islands) that were German territory before WW l.

    After WW l Japan was given the Mandate Islands who started militarizing those Central Pacific Islands where most of those battles were fought during WW ll.

    Japan's war plans called for invading and occupying the Philippine Islands (U.S. Territory at the time.)

    America would send the U.S. fleet and soldiers to the P.I.'s to take back the P.I.'s.

    The Japanese Imperial Navy would intercept and sink the U.S. Navy fleet in the Central Pacific "Mandate Islands."
    The mother of all naval battles.

    The USA would sue for peace and stay out of the Western Pacific and the Orient along with Great Britain, the Dutch and France. "The Orient for the Orientals."

    That mother of all naval battles never happened because America's War Plan Orange called for allowing Japan to occupy the P.I.'s.
    The Philippine Islands and Macarthur's army was expendable.

    It's interesting and a bit amusing how tangential discussions can get unrelated to the thread's topic.

    Getting back to the OP's focus, this morning frost is occurring though not downtown but it must be very uncomfortable for those in tents or exposed to the chilly temperatures. Fleas don't like cold and hopefully will be wiped out at bit. Less fleas less typhus.

    as it gets cooler they seek shelter upon all those warm lathargic bodies, ergo more likely to contract their effection (infection)...

    pets 101, dont stop flea/tick treatments just because its cold outside (winter)

    fleas, mosquitos & ticks are not prejudice nor racist... though, perhaps a liberal would think so...

    that said, those beings stinking up cali, are they human?

    Socialists (including redistributionists who call themselves "democratic socialists) are of two types--those who respect democracy (Sweden) and give up power when voted out of office, and totalitarian socialists, including Maduro, who use phoney claims of rigged elections to hold on to power.

    Unchecked democracy is the freeway to tyranny. Maduro is still just a tyrant, and not a very effective one.
    There are still elections and vocal opposition in VZ. Totalitarians in power liquidate or silence all opposition quickly.

    I am easily tempted away from the straight and narrow path. Shame on me - really.

    It's already began in L.A, City Hall this morning, they are removing the carpeting and in the name of political correctness are allowing the rats to remain inside City Hall along with the other two legged rats.

    Not only that but city council members are sending momento rats out into all areas of the county esp in the foothills/ mts for fostering purposes.
