Bolshevik seizure of power

'The instrument of the seizure of power in Petrograd, the Military Revolutionary Committee, was created not by the Bolsheviks, but by the Petrograd Soviet as a whole, to organize the defense of the capital against either a second military coup or a German attack. From about 20 October the MRC began taking control of strategic points in the city in order to ensure that the Provisional Government did not prevent the second All-Russian Congress of Soviets from meeting. The final operation was launched on 24-25 October, when Kerenskii tried to close Bolshevik newspapers and arrest leading Bolsheviks. Most participants in the rising thought that they were fighting for "All Power to the Soviets," to be embodied in the form of a coalition socialist government which would endorse the authority of the workers', soldiers', and peasants' assemblies throughout the country. However, at the Congress of Soviets Lenin was unexpectedly able to set up a single-party Bolshevik government (the "Council of People's Commissars," or Sovnarkom) because by then he had secured the support of a sizeable contingent of SR delegates. ... In most localities the Bolsheviks were able to seize power in similar ways. Where they were popular, they used their majority to dominate local soviets; where they were less popular, they set up or took over an armed militia, usually called a Military Revolutionary Committee, to coerce or replace the soviet and enforce "All Power to the Soviets" on their own terms. Within a few months, wherever they held power, the Bolsheviks consolidated it by closing down nonsocialist newspapers and establishing their own security police in the form of the Cheka, or Extraordinary Commission for Struggle against Speculation and Counterrevolution. They allowed popular elections to the Constituent Assembly to go ahead, but when it became clear that the SRs were to be the largest single party in it, the Bolsheviks simply closed the assembly down.'

#OTD in 1922 – Michael Collins takes over control of Dublin Castle from the British authorities on behalf of the new Irish Free state.

Dublin Castle originally built as a defensive fortification during the Norman period, evolved into the seat of British power, housing the mechanisms of the British government in Ireland. The Lord Lieutenant or the Viceroy of Ireland, the representative of the British crown, resided in the Castle. Parliament and the royal courts also took place in the Castle before moving into buildings of their…

The command crew of the PLASN Shanxi have made their purpose in the Mariner City Colony clear. They are an imperialist, jingoist threat to our colony, our livelihoods, and our kin.

Their opening act upon the reconstruction of the infernal machine that crashed in our home was the total annihilation of the Scavenger Guilds that called Bradbury Basin home following the Collapse. They attacked suddenly and without warning, then lied to the Conference about having warned the Central Executive of their attack.

They have continued their bombardment of our beloved colony, and have not discriminated between military and civilian industrial sites.

The Central Executive Armed Forces enlisted to defend our capitol, and accepted all the risks associated with their duty whether they made that decision within the past four months or 100 Earth years ago. Every citizen within the City Hall complex made the choice to abandon their lives as they knew them to defend our colony and restore it to its former glory.

The Scavenger Guilds made no such choice. They chose to organize, to band together, and use their skills to stake their claim in the ruins of our city. They chose to cooperate with the Martian Union for Restoration and the Reconstructive Provisional Regime to restore the wonders of our colony and see it to unity.

They did not choose to die for their cause, or mine.

They did not choose to die for the southern government or its "Revolution".

They did not choose to be the Shanxi's first blood in Mariner City.

I would like to ask we take a moment of silence for the people of the Scavenger Guilds, their homes, their live's works, and the scarce few survivors that escaped the slaughter.

The Unary Administrator removes her cap, looks down, and mouths a prayer before waiting a long moment.

The Central Executive will not rest until the PLASN Shanxi and its commanders are dead or beyond martian orbit never to return. The Central Executive will bear, bruised and bloodied, everything the PLASN Shanxi has at its disposal.

My message is not for the leaders of nations. They have all known this to be true for days. My message is not for my constituents, who have endured more than anyone in this colony should be forced to. My message is to the territories of Shanxi and the ground forces inside our city.

You must dissent.

You have been sent to fight and to die for the privileged visionaries that dominate you from orbit. These people are not your leaders. They are not your kin. They will not grieve for you when you are punished and struck down for their crimes.

You must dissent.

Do not misunderstand: if you continue your advance into our city at their command, I will have you destroyed to the individual and you will see no mercy for the atrocities your despots have inflicted upon my people.

You must dissent.

Your life is in your hands. Not theirs, and not yet mine. If you resist the mission you have been sent to die for then you will see no conflict in our city. You will know peace, and you will be the ruler of your destiny.

You must dissent.

We will frustrate any attempt to infringe on your life, liberty, and livelihood. We will not blame you for the actions of the hegemons in orbit that have sent you to your death. We will fight for your right to choose your destiny. I promise you this.

You must dissent.

Adding to this because I JUST DID IT and IT WAS VERY EASY

Go to the website that is linked, type ELECTION SECURITY as reasoning.

You need to provide a name, last name, address, email address, your state, your phone number

Under the read more above is a text you can COPY AND PASTE!!

Don't forget to uncheck the box that asks if you want regular white house updates

THAT EASY.

IF YOU LIVE IN THE US, PLEASE READ THIS

Posting this from the bird app since I hope it can help people.

People have been contacting the White House directly to demand a recount, especially since there has been evidence that not every ballot has been counted and will be thrown away if it hasn't been cured.

The link to contact the White House is here!

The following screenshot comes from here!

If you need help writing something, check under the cut! I've provided a prewritten response from one of the replies!

"I am a concerned citizen, and I need you to hear me. I urge you to recount the ballots from this election and investigate election interference. Bomb threats have been called into multiple polling locations, causing some to close early. Domestic terrorists have burned ballot boxes. An unprecedented number of ballots have been rejected and require curing. There have been reports of polling officers allowing voter intimidation in and outside of polling places across the country and an estimated 20 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for. In addition, many people have reported that ballots were not counted for suspicious reasons such as signature invalidation which is information that vote counters do not have access to. These events have occurred in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia, for instance."

Feel free to add and change what you want, this is just a base for you to work off of.
