Holocaust Survivor Says He’s Leaving The US
by Joey PicadorOne of our neighbors is moving. I’ve been in this neighborhood for about six years now, but didn’t really know them very well at all - just waves and nods, mostly.
So I heard the moving van pull up this morning. When I got home this evening I happened to spy my neighbor (he’s like 85 years old - I don’t know exactly, but he’s old, talks and moves very slowly) standing on the sidewalk next to the van. I walked over and shook his hand, and we started talking. I asked him where he was moving, and he said, “Back to Germany.”
I had been stationed in Germany for two years while in the military, so I lit up, and commented about how beautiful the country was, and inquired if he was going back because he missed it.
“No,” he answered me. “I’m going back because I’ve seen this before.” He then commenced to explain that when he was a kid, he watched with his family in fear as Hitler’s government committed atrocity after atrocity, and no one was willing to say anything. He said the news refused to question the government, and the ones who did were not in the newspaper business much longer. He said good neighbors, people he had known all his life, turned against his family and other Jews, grabbing on to the hate and superiority “as if they were starved for it” (his words).
He said he was too old to see it happen right in front of his eyes again, and too old to do anything about it, so he was taking his family back to Europe on Thursday where they would be safe from George W. Bush and his neocons. He seemed resolute, but troubled, nonetheless, as if being too young on one end and too old on the other to fight what he saw happening was wearing on him.
I gotta tell you - it was chilling. I let him talk, and the whole time, my gut was churning, like I had mutated butterflies in my stomach. When he was finished, he shook my hand, gripping it really hard, until his knuckles turned white and he was shaking. He looked me in the eyes, hard, and said, “I will pray for your family and your country.” He let go of my hand and hobbled away.
I have related this event to you in the hopes it will serve as a cautionary anecdote about the state of our Union, and to illustrate the path we Americans are being led down by a group of fanatics bent on global economic and military dominion. When a man who survived the fruits of fascism decides its time to leave THIS country because he’s seeing the same patterns that led to the Holocaust and other Nazi horrors beginning to form here, it is time for us to recognize the underlying evil inherent in the actions of those who claim they work for all Americans, and for all mankind. And it is incumbent upon all Americans, Red and Blue, Republican and Democrat, to stop them.
But that´s not everything:
Former Bushite: Official Nine Eleven Story Bogus
Tuesday June 14th 2005, 1:52 pm
Filed under: PoliticsLast weekend the Moonbatters over on Horowitz’s slander and slam weblog dissed “paranoid conspiracy theories” about the shroud of government-created fantasy surrounding the nine eleven attacks. Andrew Walden characterized Americans not buying the official cover-up version of what happened on that day as “drug-addled” lefties only interested in “distracting” folks from Bush’s “liberating some of the most oppressed people on Earth in Iraq and Afghanistan,” a rather absurd explanation and one that certainly does a disservice to around 3,000 families deserving an explanation as well as an open investigation free of the ideological vice of the Bushcons and their loosely affiliated chirping and biting parrots of paranoia on Horowitz’s Discover the (non-existent) Network smear portal and elsewhere.
Well, here’s one for Horowitz’s howlers: “A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11,” writes (amazingly) the Moonie enthralled Washington Times. “Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush’s first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story about the collapse of the WTC is ‘bogus’ and that it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7.”
I don’t know if Mr. Reynolds is “drug-addled,” but it is nothing short of remarkable he is saying what a lot of us have said now for years—nine eleven ain’t what it appears to be and the Bush-organized whitewash commission (complete with business partners with ties to the family of the prime suspect) not only didn’t get it right, they were specifically empanelled to spin a bedtime story of Muslim-hating mendacity.
“If demolition destroyed three steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for an ‘inside job’ and a government attack on America would be compelling.” Reynolds commented from his Texas A&M office, “It is hard to exaggerate the importance of a scientific debate over the cause of the collapse of the twin towers and building 7. If the official wisdom on the collapses is wrong, as I believe it is, then policy based on such erroneous engineering analysis is not likely to be correct either. The government’s collapse theory is highly vulnerable on its own terms. Only professional demolition appears to account for the full range of facts associated with the collapse of the three buildings.”
Did you hear that, Andrew Walden? Only professional demolition appears to account for the full range of facts associated with the collapse of the three buildings and such a demolition may very well constitute an “inside job” and a government attack on America. Enough said.
Oh, peanuts. It sure looks bad for Horowitz and the right-wingers because they have their whole agenda gimmicked on the unproven “fact” Osama and his medieval cave dwelling terrorists with satellite phones and laptops did the dastardly deed on September 11, 2001. If it turns out Osama didn’t have anything to do with the event—that is to say he didn’t sneak a professional demolition team into the WTC in the days before the planes crashed—well then the rabid right’s whole agenda will fall apart: no endless wars against Muslims who “hate our way of life” and certainly no wide brush painting of opponents of Bush’s warmongering madness as a “fifth column” determined to destroy America and teach its grade schoolers to hate our beloved (unelected) president. Rabid righters predicate everything they are now doing on the assertion “we are at war” and “we were attacked” by Koran-toting “towel heads” with funny eating habits and other such hyperbole and outright hateful nonsense. If Reynold’s story gets any traction, it will be a death-knell for the hare-brained right-wing reductionists and their Likudite-friendly plan to snuff out Islam and—at least for Horowitz and his Scaife-Bradley-Olin bankrolled operation (totaling $13,869,000, according to Media Transparency)—hunt down and marginalize progressive organizations and individuals.
I’m waiting for a response from Walden and the Moonbatters on this matter.
I can hear it now: Morgan Reynolds smoked pot after he left the Bush administration and thus his brain is fried.
