An update by Bernie Sanders; his speech is now part of the Congressional Record for future generations to view and to study the war crimes committed at this time in history, which can never be denied, as a result of it. There is a big difference between the German Government's crimes against humanity during the Third Reich and now. From personal experience, the writer knows that ordinary Germans had no idea what was going on, there was no TV's, nor Internet, no honest Media, which was also the mouthpiece of the Government, and so was the radio. In stark contrast, not only Americans know what is going, so does the whole world. The concentration camp in Dachau, near Munich, was better guarded than the 'US Area 51'. Trespassers get arrested in the US, in Germany they got a bullet between the eyes, during those times.
Another contrast can be mentioned, the Nazis were diligent to hide their crimes, nowadays it happens all in plain sight, nobody cares, the TV is used to show the gruesome results of their criminal deeds; nobody cares who might be offended by it all. The law of the land no longer means anything; any inconvenient statute or ruling is simply ignored, as a matter of convenience. Evidently, 'true free speech' is now a thing of the past; criticizing Israel is now a crime, apparently. People get into trouble with the law it seems.

Thank you for sharing this blog with friends and family. You are helping to overcome the deafening silence from the commercial media on most topics, they just don't want us to know about.
This blog is not monetized, it is strictly produced as a public service.
I actually broke-into Dachau on a holiday weekend when it was closed and unguarded in the summer of 1981, when I was bicycle touring in Germany. I gave myself an unguided tour for an hour and left. It seemed fitting, somehow.
ReplyDeleteMuch later, in 2005, we bike toured there as a family of 6 and stayed at the youth hostel on a gray and damp day.
We taught the children that this is what ordinary people do to other ordinary people when times get this way, and you have to be on the lookout for the signs.
We got the signs when "the unvaccinated" became the "untermenschen" in 2021.
I had never expected that. It was a manufactured "problem".
I knew that I had to stand with "the unvaccinated" openly and state my case, and accept firing, to fight that wave of history.
We fought it back, but more are coming to us, and it is sweeping across Palestine, of course.
I pray, blog and send money to UNRWA.
Thanks John. A very interesting comment indeed.
