Fox, as the media wing of the Republican Party, seems bent on subverting our justice system for nefarious purposes.

Maybe a night of broken glass for liberal establishments?

Jewish homes, hospitals, and schools were ransacked, as the attackers demolished buildings with sledgehammers. Over 1,000 synagogues were burned (95 in Vienna alone) and over 7,000 Jewish businesses were either destroyed or damaged. Martin Gilbert writes that no event in the history of German Jews between 1933 and 1945 was so widely reported as it was happening, and the accounts from the foreign journalists working in Germany sent shock waves around the world. The Times wrote at the time: "No foreign propagandist bent upon blackening Germany before the world could outdo the tale of burnings and beatings, of blackguardly assaults on defenseless and innocent people, which disgraced that country yesterday."

Or option #3: It means precisely what it says. "Cleansing" as in "bring all wrongdoing out into the open and bring all wrongdoers to justice."

Interesting. Where does that definition come from?

Most likely the same place from which your definition is coming from....

Selected characters
The characters of The Good Soldier Švejk are generally either used as the butt of Hašek's absurdist humour or represent fairly broad social and ethnic stereotypes found in the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time. People are often distinguished by the dialect and register of Czech or German they speak, a quality that does not translate easily. Many German- and Polish-speaking characters, for example, are shown as speaking comedically broken or heavily accented Czech, while many Czechs speak broken German; much use is also made of slang expressions.
...
Palivec
The foul-mouthed landlord of Švejk's local pub – the "U Kalicha" ("By the Chalice") on Na Bojišti street, Prague. Despite refusal to discuss any politics ("it smells of Pankrác") Palivec is eventually arrested by Bretschneider (see below) after commenting that flies crap on the portrait of Franz Joseph in the pub.
Police Agent Bretschneider
A secret policeman who repeatedly tries to catch Švejk and others out on their anti-monarchist views. He was eventually eaten by his own dogs, after buying a succession of animals from Švejk in an attempt to incriminate him.
