No doubt there are revolutions that have ended badly, betraying the people for whom they were putatively staged and directing violence at them rather than the overseers of the regime that made revolution necessary.

Clara was about to walk onto a stage for the first time in decades and perform, but looked as if she had not a care in the world. I, on the other hand, was terrified.

Meet the Press et al are State Propaganda Shows

I had an epiphany this morning. Well, not really an epiphany, more like an affirmation. It's certainly not something I've not known for a very long time.
