A previously unknown document, extracted from the Party archives in Moscow and dealing with Trotsky’s departure from Stalin’s inner circle, has made news today because it accurately mirrors Monday morning’s news story about Rahm Emanuel’s planned departure from Obama’s inner circle. Except for the names of the government officials and locations, the verbiage in the Soviet article seems to be identical to that in today’s New York Post:

MOSCOW – 1925 Kremlin Chief of Staff Leon Trotsky is expected to quit as soon as this year because he’s fed up with the “idealism” of Joseph Stalin’s inner circle, a British newspaper reported early today.

“I would bet he will go after the midterms,” a Kremlin apparatchik told the Telegraph. “Nobody thinks it’s working, but they can’t get rid of him — that would look awful.”

The apparatchik added that Trotsky is trying to line up the right job offer to explain his departure, but “the consensus is he’ll go.”

Speculation in Moscow has been building for months about divisions between Trotsky and other Stalin confidantes.

Trotsky, who has more experience in the Kremlin, has embraced tough tactics balanced by realistic compromise. But others in the Politburo have urged the use of Stalin’s soaring oratory to break through the gridlock to win major victories in their agenda. Both strategies have largely failed, leaving Stalin with only half the collectivization initiative he wanted, ballooning debt, and record-low approval ratings.

Trotsky, whose bare-knuckled politics earned him the nickname “Demon of the Revolution” when he worked in Lenin’s Politburo, is expected to step down in six to eight months, the paper said.

Despite his good relationship with Stalin, Trotsky and the Great Leader have come to an understanding that their starkly different styles don’t work together, sources said. Their closest advisers are known to have clashed — including butting heads over health-care reform — and Trotsky’s rough style has caused friction.

“The Russian people have not stood behind Stalin in the way they did for the czars and that was meant to be Trotsky’s job,” the apparatchik told the Telegraph.

In response to the report, a senior Politburo official told bourgeois news agencies the “ludicrous” story was “not worth looking into.”

    the epilogue is all that’s missing here.

    Former Politburo-Kremlin liaison and Stalin left-hand-man Rahm Emmanuel found dead in a Mexican hotel room.

    Mexican government demands Kremlin foot bill for trial and subsequent imprisonment of the guilty man, a male lead dancer for the visiting Hungarian national ballet.

    Excellent! And funny.

  3. WARNING! THIS IS A PARODY!

    If you’re still compelled to complain about this story being a fabrication, send a telegram to Comrade Joseph Stalin, General Secretary of the Party, Politburo & Central Committee, Kremlin, Red Square, Motherland

    Comrade you are far to nice to this smear merchant however this sinister effort to smear comrades Stalin and Trotsky are but LIES. Its all the capitalist pigdogs fault for everything.

    Their is no doubt that the great obamessiah will go down in history… maybe even coming close to great leader Stalin.

    Given the government we are currently parodying, it is best to label it clearly. Please?

    • Taxpayer

      I hear ya. Some days you can’t tell whether a news story about the Zero govt. is parody or not.

    Comrade, if you can get a telegram to the Great Father, your communications system is more advanced than ours.

    I refer to him as the Great Father, because calling him the Great Mother! would not be a good thing.

    Besides, I am adverse to the cold and laboring outdoors…

  7. 7. Duerf

    Great call!

  8. 8. Allston

    I mean Averse, damnit.

    Whattaya know…us Kulaks can’t speel ethier.

  9. 9. wGraves

    The White House guards must immediately be briefed to allow only ice axes into conferences…no other weapons.

  10. 10. Taxpayer

    When I heard abut Emanuel leaving, the first thing I thought of was Lenin-Trotsky….

  11. 11. Taxpayer

    I mean Stalin-Trotsky. Geez!

  12. Sorry, but this is not funny at all. In fact it is in really bad taste.

    • Gulag Guy

      Now that IS funny comrade!

    • white tiger

      Given their wellknown relational proclivities, what a “bad” pun!

    Gallows humor, you know?

    Humorous cartoon titled “rub a dub dub” with Obama, Rahm, and Rob Blagojevich at http://drawfortruth.wordpress.com/category/politics/

  15. 15. Mike2

    Great parody and maybe not too far from the truth!

    • I believe that it was Mark Twain who said that, “…history doesn’t repeat itself, but it surely does rhyme.”

  16. 16. RickGreenvilleSC

    One can only wonder if Rahmbo will meet the same fate as Trotsky. . . . oh well. Remember those affiliated with the Clintons who also had untimely demises? Kinda seems to be a democrat thing. . . .

  17. 17. scott

    I’m convinced the Creator nudged our earthly reality here and there helping along the founding of the most enlightened prosperous nation in all human history just to prove to the cosmos and whom ever’s paying attention that man is indeed what all history proves him to be. Desperately in need of a strong and constant connection to his Father in heaven to keep him from constantly blowing it. We had it ALL. If ever a people could have brought utopia to be it was America. Now look at the mess we’ve made. Adam and Eve: Take, number …..

    ( Have you ever had the feeling that maybe you were actually dead and this is hell? )

  18. 18. Skydiver

    I wonder if he is going to share the Trotsky’s faith?

  19. The part people miss is that both Lenin and Stalin were intelligent. They endured great hardships and many potential failures to get where they got. So did Hitler.

    Obama is a clown-boy. He has no brains, no toughness, and no plan that isn’t explained carefully to him twice.

    For those of us who value freedom, this is a good thing.

    • ked5

      obummer is also NOT allowed to speak unless the TOTUS is in front of him and he’s reading from it.

      Every other marxist dictator could speak for themselves.

    • Thomas_L......

      Ridiculous! Your “smart” guys would have gotten the same short shrift from Americans who are not that impressed with “smart” guys leading them over the cliff. Unlike these “smart” guys, Obama will be thrown out with little ceremony or remorse although with much afterthought and recriminations.

  20. 20. bubblehead

    Shouldn’t the location and cause of Emmanuel’s long-awaited demise be updated to a Washington DC park of a self-inflicted gunshot wound???

    (Hee-Hee! Ain’t I a stinker!?)

  21. 21. joe

    Is the effect of parody diminished if it’s labeled/explained as “parody”?

  22. 22. Ken Besig Israel

    I think that McChrystal is jumping ship too, and his interview with Rolling Stone is his way of doing it.

  23. 23. juniper

    Three words: ice and pick and when.

  24. 24. RickGreenvilleSC

    This may be the summer of obama’s discontent. . . who will still be with him by Fall? When Gibbs goes, the end is near. . .

  25. 25. xj

    Orszag’s jumping too (his budget director.) Guess he got fed up being told to say that borrowing money is a good way to reduce debts.

  26. 26. white tiger

    Sooner or later the Rothschild’s houseboy will fail to do as told, and will be held accountable. Disobedience to Satan is a capital( no pun intended) offense in DC,as close observers of the Oswald/Hinckley/Ray/Sirhan/Hoffa Syndrome can testify.
    We need to get rid of this pathetic demoniac in a legal and moral manner. We need the electorate to recognize a monster when it sees one. And then to deal with the monster at an appropriately escalated level.As with the Holocaust, our mantra must be, “NEVER AGAIN”!

    • the sandman

      One Big Ass Mistake America needs to be removed, period. He wont be able to handle the election losses and will lash out by trying to impose some form of martial law. I hope Im wrong, but this bolshevik punk really thinks hes some sort of god. Hes a pompous jerk surrounded by hardline commie ideologues and must be dealt with accordingly.

    Hey Ram Bone head-dont plan on going to Mexico for any laitrelle treatments for the oral cancer youve developed for “practicing kissing Bubbas and One Big Ass Mistake Americas collective(as in commie farms) backsides. Funny things seem to happen when a commie goes to Mejico for cancer treatments.
