Lord Finkelstein - What A Mensch



It takes a lot courage for a Jew to write an editorial like this in a prestigious national paper. I know very well the price that can be paid for Jews to cede any ground in the seemingly endless polarisation, which in my mind just took a very centred and grounded approach. It's a landmark piece that will slide under most people's radar but I know history when its made.

This is a seminal moment and not just in editorial-land (I've read more literature on The Shoah than most).

Did a lot of Jews die in WWII, no doubt about it. I would say most died being shot by retreating German troops on the Eastern Front but I'm always open to more information. 

Maybe one day we  can have an adult conversation about what trauma does to the psyche when bolstered by an impregnable and monolithic media narrative, that Danny has just instigated a small but tectonic shift within.

Under trauma, the mind dissociates. 

It doesn't want to feel that kind of pain and it's a subject I learned too much about through the vast MK-Ultra mind control programs. The only thing is I know who scooped up Josef Mengele through Project Paperclip after the war. 

Cathy O'Brien is just one of the living witness testimonies on the subject.

She's the reason I started writing off-piste. It's harrowing information

I'm sure Danny and I don't agree on too much but my heart feels good after reading him just now. I feel positive about the future.
