It’s ontersting my great grandfather was handing out watch tower leaflets and the East German government called him the enemy of the people and sequester all his property and left his family homeless. Amazing what constitutes Enemy of the People

It should be pointed out that the US backed protesters are largely fascist in nature and that the man doused in petrol and set on fire was not a 'protester'. It was a pro monarchy, US backed protester that set that man on fire.

Just waiting for the major crackdown.
