Roman Polanski : A Bad Actor

Academy Award winning motion picture writer and director Roman Polanski is in the news again. The 72 year old fugitive from justice was granted a stay from extradition to the U.S. by the Swiss government.

He achieved success and wealth at making sick and depraved movies. Perhaps he drew on his personal experiences. His family was exterminated by the Nazis. His wife was butchered by the Charles Manson gang. And he personally contributed to his sick and depraved heritage and life by raping a 13 year old.

It kind of all fits together in a sick and depraved way.

Holocaust Politics Update: Yet Another Angle

When one has lemons then the sale of lemonade follows. When one has dead bodies then the sale of guilt follows.

And so partly- Jewish President Nicolas Sarkozy of France has instructed his education minister to add yet more Holocaust education to fifth graders curriculum. France's schools already include extensive Holocaust studies , films, field trips to museums and concentration camps and the ubiquitous plaques placed on school walIs marking where children were taken away. It's also a crime requiring prison time to deny the Holocaust. It's not a crime to deny that Jesus was the son of god. I wonder if they had to delete anything in the curriculum to make room for this ? Sarkozy wants every fifth grader to learn the life story of one of the 11,000 French children that were killed by the Nazis in the Holocaust. He said," Every French child should be entrusted with the memory of a French child-victim of the Holocaust".

Does this morbid exercise lead to a kind of necrophilia or to a vetting of would-be saints?This is not good for young children. Holocaust mania has obviously produced too many Holocaust worshippers. One of them is the President of France. It reminds of Brer Rabbit's plea to Brer Bear in Disney's 1946 classic " Song Of The South". Brer Rabbit pleaded , " Please don't throw me in the briar patch". And so Brer Bear goes and throws the rabbit into the briar patch. And Brer Rabbit gleefully responds, " I was born and raised in a briar patch".

And some calculatingly perpetuate the horrors of the Holocaust for political advantage.What's next?

Israel: Zionists In Wonderland

Today the Wall Street Journal had an editorial " The Israeli Lesson". It championed Israel's murderous enforcement of the 60 year occupation of historic Palestine. It listed Israel's "successful antiterrorist efforts" and scoffed at the worlds alternative discription/opinion of Israeli actions. These efforts included, " the construction of its ostensibly 'illegal' security fence [wall], its equally 'illegal' targeted assasinations of key terrorist leaders, its 'disproportional' attacks on terrorists enclaves [ refugee camps] in Jenim and elsewhere and other activities that saved innocent lives [ Israeli occupiers] but which much of the international community deplored".

In spite of the similarities to Nazi war crimes , the editor ended his piece by saying " Israel proved that terrorists can be defeated- a lesson that applies equally to Iraq". Only a zionist could see beauty in the crimes against humanity that the 20th century phenomenon Israel delivers on a daily basis to collectively punished Palestinians.

Well if the zionist approach to non-zionists is so valid and successful , why then are there only 13,000,000 left?
