German doctors and health officials helped advance lies such as Jews spread typhus when the truth is that Nazi policies caused the conditions that led to disease, things such as hunger, overcrowding, poverty, and unsanitary conditions.

Turning to His Majesty’s Secret Service
What if they had succeeded in the attempt to intimidate and overturn the election results in Washington, D.C.? Perhaps that was not possible or probable and it was all in their heads as they penetrated The Capitol. There are other what ifs to consider as well. I keep reading about battles that took place during …
Government is Greek to Me
It’s all Greek to me. Shakespeare Laura Ingraham, back in April 2020, told her audience that her guest had a great resumé and that she loved him because he is Greek. My favorite desert is baklava, which is Greek. My home is adorned with art and photos from Santorini, Greece. And I am not …
The Algemeiner Reports a Hate Message to Keep an Eye On
Jews, Muslims, liberal Christians, Marxists, and atheists were targets this week of Gab, right-wing site of great concern to US. Yes I remember things well.

Mussolini succeeded in his overthrow of the Italian government and Trump’s partisans ended up bankrupting Trump. Maybe they should have eaten pasta fagiola before entering The Capitol. There was no Il Duce for US in January. Making world news which is just about exactly the same in each of many newspapers around the world that …
The Attack on The Capitol (2021) and Fort Sumter in 1861
Missing from his statement of love was a lack of love of the Constitution of the United States (again at that moment) and the implication that others in the building were “enemies of the people.” Far from the scene there still exists in South Carolina a place called Fort Sumter where the attack took place …

The Most Famous Teacher
I had conversations with a man who came here from Bolivia and he started to repeat time and again the words “most famous teacher” around me. This man is clearly what we call in Spanish (chistoso), but it was all in fun. He introduced me to several people including people who have met and known …
