1 Aug 20 âShow me the man, and Iâll show you the crime.â Lavrentiy Beria, Head of Stalinâs NKVD, 1938-1953 Beria was architect of the infamous Katyn Massacre in the spring of 1940, which saw in excess of 20k captured Polish Army officers, police, and intelligentsia systematically murdered and quickly buried in mass trenches. In February of 1945, when Beria attended the Yalta Conference within Stalinâs entourage, Stalin aptly introduced him to FDR as âour Himmler.â However, with Stalinâs death in 1953, and subsequent emergence of Khrushchevâs âAdministration,â Beria suddenly found himself on the wrong side of the political fence! Beriaâs NKVD had made many enemies, among whom was famous Russian General and national hero, Georgy Zhukov, and Beriaâs wide-ranging and well-known sexual predation didnât help his case! Beria and six others were precipitously arrested, âtried,â and executed. Beriaâs henchmen were lined-up and shot straightaway after their conviction. In December of 1953, Beria himself, on bended knee, pleaded for the mercy he had denied all his victims. While wallowing and weeping uncontrollably, he was shot in the head. In so doing, Beria performed a credible re-enactment of the execution of his own predecessor, Nikolai Yezhov, who died in similar fashion in 1940. Precious few in high-level Communist Russian politics died of old age! However, Beriaâs legacy is alive and well in every place Communists hold sway, even today, especially today! Zimbabweâs new president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, who promised to enact âenlightened changeâ when he assumed power upon the late President Robert Mugabeâs âretirementâ in 2017, has turned out to be little more than a new, perhaps slightly-more polished, version of his murderous predecessor. In what is a tragically unending cycle, brutal dictators continue to replace brutal dictators in almost all African nations during the post-colonial era, pretty much the same as they did during the pre-colonial era! To a man, these dictators all mouth fervent support of Communism and receive recurring, substantive financial (sometimes covert military) support from China and Russia. These self-described âcomradesâ who profess to be âgood Communistsâ enjoy opulent lifestyles (like âgood Communistsâ everywhere) as they engage in violent suppression of dissent, savage oppression of political opposition, and openly practice âethnic cleansingâ of tribes and ethnic and religious minorities who have been, by design, marginalized. Following Beriaâs blueprint, these âunfavored groupsâ are officially labeled âenemies of the people.â One unchanging and invariable theme is the deliberate imposition of labyrinthine, indecipherable, hopelessly absurd gun âlicensingâ and âpermitting-regulations,â the purpose of which is to systematically remove guns from the hands of citizens, the intentional purpose of which is to make it safe for ânationalizedâ criminal gangs (their version of ANTIFA, BLM), as well as the âsecret policeâ (their version of the NKVD) to murder innocent, disarmed citizens, without concern for being shot themselves. When Communists (âBidenestasâ) take-over here, we can expect Beriaâs henchmen to go right to work in the same manner they always have, just as theyâre doing right now in Africa, China, Cuba, Venezuela, et al! âYou think itâs âunfair!â Well, donât be so square!â From âThat Kind of Girlâ, written by John Phillips and and sung by his group, The Mamas and the Papas, in1966 /John
