Something to keep in mind: if you read John Reed's Ten Days the Shook the World or Nikolai Riasanovsky's A History of Russia, these two books [along with a few others] spell out the one big thing the Bolsheviks relied upon and operated under: fear and paranoia. People were scared that anything they said would get back to "the party." No one knew who to trust. The one statement about history tending to repeat itself still rings true today. The events taking place today are only fueling that fire. The ones who survived were the ones who either kept their mouths shut or played along, biding their time. Granted, nothing is ever going to be accomplished quickly using this tactic, but it will be accomplished. Patriots who know have been patient for a long time, and something tells me that they can afford to wait a little longer. I remember something about "fair-weather patriots" somewhere on this site. Face it, you're either all in or you're not. The time for straddling the fence is long gone.
