Nothing new under the sun.
History repeating itself.....thanks to the communists that have infiltrated this country.
Communist Parallels between Today's BLM and the Bonus Army riots in the summer of 1932 which Gen'l MacArthur Quelled
In his memoir, Reminscences, General Douglas MacArthur provides an illuminating account of the Bonus Army riots in the summer of 1932, which, as Army Chief of Staff, he would help quell after District of the Columbia requested assistance.
MacArthur's account highlights some striking similarities with recent Black LIves Matter/Antifa rioting in the nation's capital, especially when it comes to his overview of the tense situation in these final months of the Herbert Hoover administration.
In 1964, MacArthur wrote:
In these days of wholehearted unity, it is hard to believe that thirty years ago the President of the United States lived in danger, and the Congress shook with fear at the sight and sound of the marchers. It is hard to believe, too, that government employees and other citizens of Washington who bore witness to the tawdry street battles cheered the stoning of the Washington police force.
Plus ca change ...
The movement was actually far deeper and more dangerous than an effort to secure funds from an already depleted federal treasury. The American Communist Party planned a riot of such proportions that it was hoped that the United States Army, in its efforts to maintain peace, would have to fire on the marchers. In this way, the Communists hoped to incite revolutionary action. **Red organizers infiltrated the veteran groups and presently took command from their unwitting leaders. **(Emphasis added.)
... plus c'est la meme communists.
Yes, indeed, nearly ninety years ago, "Red organizers" were already using civil strife -- in this case, the stress and poverty of thousand of unemployed WWI veterans nearly three years into the Great Depression -- to try to spark a violent overthrow of the federal government, or cause as much chaos and mayhem as possible in the attempt while demonizing the anti-communist President Hoover and General MacArthur......more at link below
