…hunted down refugees and tore apart families in WWII Greece "I learned a lesson when conducting research for my recently published book, "Family Papers: a Sephardic Journey Through the Twentieth Century." I had discovered the story of a young Jewish man forgotten to history until now, a story that taught me that neither cultural affiliation nor family history is a reliable predictor of future behavior. In short, identity is not destiny, and all of us can fall prey to the tides of history. Vital Hasson was a native of Thessaloniki, Greece, a cultural capital of the Sephardic Jewish world and a city that once boasted a majority Jewish population, who knew their home as Salonica. He came from an educated, middle-class family of journalists, writers, educators and political leaders…" Main page link Amicalement Armand

Somehow I read that as Vidal Sassoon. But the text is tiny on my screen. |

"He came from an educated, middle-class family of journalists, writers, educators and political leaders." That might explain some of it. People with higher education tend to gravitate towards leftist ideology. Or perhaps he just loved the power. Either way he should burn in hell. I imagine there was more of this sort of thing than is generally known. George Soros, for example, was also a Jew who turned on his people to work for the Nazis. |

I know it's corny to say Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four was prophetic but just read this description therein of the future ruling class: The new aristocracy was made up for the most part of bureaucrats, scientists, technicians, trade-union organizers, publicity experts, sociologists, teachers, journalists, and professional politicians. These people, whose origins lay in the salaried middle class and the upper grades of the working class, had been shaped and brought together by the barren world of monopoly industry and centralized government. As compared with their opposite numbers in past ages, they were…hungrier for pure power, and, above all,…intent on crushing opposition. This last difference was cardinal. By comparison with that existing today, all the tyrannies of the past were half-hearted and inefficient…Even the Catholic Church of the Middle Ages was tolerant by modern standards….in the past no government had the power to keep its citizens under constant surveillance…With the development of television, and the technical advance which made it possible to receive and transmit simultaneously on the same instrument, private life came to an end. This bloke was very clearly of that aristocracy, so all he cared about was doing as his political prejudices instructed him. The Party's intolerance of any opinion but their own, and of the existence of anyone holding such an opinion, so regularly on display among Twitter fascists, is literally right out of Orwell's book, including the kind of people doing it. |
