Beria

Lavrenti Beria

During the Stalin era, there were show trials. The guilty like Solzhenitsyn ended up in The Archipelago which the famous Russian author famously compared to Dante’s Inferno in The First Circle where those in danger of deportation ended up in Limbo. Dante was in fact gaslighting and getting back at his enemies, but that’s another matter. Beria was the feared head of the secret police. Of course today we have Kash Patel who reports directly to the top. As in the Stalinist era, there are no governances restricting the abuse of power. The FBI has knocked on John Bolton’s door under the theory that president’s national security advisor unlawfully released classified formation information in books he published. Members of the January 6 commission such as Adam Schiff, who has organized a legal defense fund will be next. Alligator Alcatraz is one of the places illegal immigrants are detained. Trump has talked about resurrecting the real Alcatraz. Joseph McCarthy used the black list. It seems as if Trump is going one step further. He has accused Obama of treason for which the punishment is ultimately death.
