Welcome To Captive Nations Week
With communism (along with lefty communist-styled socialism) making a comeback, so should Captive Nations Week.
Never heard of it? Neither has 72-year-old me dino. I'm sure it is not something our modern mainstream media aka Fake News would care to make much of a fuss about.
Nevertheless, the Miami Herald article (from a city filled with Cuban refugees) in the link states that parades and rallies are held. It also states that "Congress created Captive Nations Week in 1959, making the third week of July a time to show Americans' solidarity with nations dominated by communism."
Solidarity? Kinda gives me dino the creeps how, in the USA during this day and time, how the word, "solidarity" can now be applied to and against communism in two different ways.

Some years ago, two friends of mine were talking to a refugee from Communist Cuba. He had escaped from Castro. And as he told the story of his horrible experiences, one of my friends turned to the other and said, We don't know how lucky we are.'' And the Cuban stopped and said,How lucky you are? I had some place to escape to.'' - President Ronald Reagan, July 13, 1988,
He said he saw a man get gunned down in the middle of a street in Havana shortly before his family left.
As if that's so shocking! Guess what I see in my email as fast as I leave here with time to edit it in~~

Just a short drive from my Birmingham area one of many satellite cities.
Most shootings in Mn occur in the democratic stronghold of MPLS some what less is St Paul.
Where I live I can get to either downtown in about 10-15 mins if traffic is light.
52 per 100,000
This was telling f the 99 criminal homicides, 75 of the victims were black males. The rest of the breakdown is 14 black females, five white females, four white males and one Hispanic male.
In 85 of the cases, the suspects are black males. Four other suspects are black females, followed by one white female and one Hispanic male. There is no description in eight of the homicides. In 65 of the homicides, the victim and the suspect were acquaintances.
As for the almost always one-after-the-other murder victims, and mind you this was not Birmingham, that a 45-minute ride away, the bodies would be a black male, a black male, a black male, a black male, etc., and I can't recall writing an article about a white person being arrested for killing any of them.
One murder sticks out in me dino memory banks, My dad was picking me up to see an Alabama football game in Tuscaloosa (that method of getting there a one time only event) right when the phone rang.
Dispatcher said cops needed me and my camera in a town on the way to Tuscaloosa. Had Dad drive me to the address and I asked if he wanted to come in with me. He simply said "Nope."
Inside the house was a black woman murdered by a boyfriend who fled. (Got the particulars for a story when I got back). Deputies found the gunshot wound by baring a breast. I could tell a .22-cal. slug had holed a nipple. She died instantly and because she landed on her back I could not see a drop of blood. Weird.
I was out of there and on my way to the game in about five minutes.
That is the #1 reason, both to limit immigration (especially by the poor) and to stop subsidizing poor people to breed through welfare payments.
Or we could do one which just highlights the free nations. Oh, right. We already do that on July 4th.
There were other sites listed. This should at least put you on the trail. Actually, I think I will wear it to the grocery store today.

The original list included the Europeans who fortunately no longer are on it, officially. But they are fighting daily to beat back the communist opposition that each country needs to deal with.
Of course under communism there was no such thing as multiparty system, it was all one party: communists. Elections (if you could call the charade election) always ended with 110% in favor of the communist party.
I have issue with China: " It could also focus on China and the many peoples and places it dominates." Yes, the Hong Kong example brought that issue to the surface. I understand that the extradition bill has been eliminated not only delayed, but the fact remains HK will not evade China's attempts to fold it into the big communist tent. Neither will Taiwan.

They were all overrun by the Axis powers. Oddly(?) none taken over by FDR's friend Joe Stalin were included. By 1959 the communist "captive nations" could be acknowledged because America's "Red Decades" were over. That seems to be back in favor now.
