“Or the Janissaries? Or the Ancient Regime of France? Or the Kempaitai? Or Napoleon’s Old Guard? Or the Manchu (Ming) Banners? Or the SA and the SS? Or the Stasi? They have vanished from the earth – found only in history. And in the bitter legacy which they left behind, of course. Those who suffered under these regimes – secret or not-so-secret police, jack-booted thugs, or whatever they have been called were vast multitudes. Many died, many were crippled (physically and mentally), and many were impoverished and imprisoned. But ultimately, a fundamental universal rule kicked in: ‘This too shall pass.’ The tyrants were vanquished. Why?” (10/29/24)
