Make D-Day June 6 World Anti-Fascist Day

Keeps History Fresh for Everyone, Forever.



And I do mean for ever.

“The really dangerous American fascist... is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective, toward which all their deceit is directed, is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”

~quoted in the New York Times, April 9, 1944
― Henry A. Wallace

And I do mean for everyone.

AG William Barr's dad hired Epstein the dropout to teach high school.

The ‘Epstein-Barr’ Problem of New York City’s Dalton School

Excerpt...

Epstein, who was charged last week by federal authorities in the Southern District of New York with sex trafficking with sex-trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex-trafficking, was a 20 year old college drop-out when he was hired to teach at Dalton by the school’s headmaster Donald Barr in the mid 1970’s. Donald Barr was the father of current United States Attorney General William Barr, who is currently overseeing Epstein’s prosecution.

According to at least one former student, Dalton alums have long joked about Barr’s hiring of Epstein..

“The joke has been [that] this is the Epstein-Barr problem at Dalton, said Harry Segal, a 1974 graduate who is now a senior lecturer at Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medical College, in an interview with the Huffington Post. Epstein-Barr is a type of herpes virus best known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis.

Scott Spizer, who graduated in 1976, said that Epstein was most remembered for his “persistent attention” on teenage girls in the hallways, recalled a night when the young educator showed up at a party where Dalton students were drinking.

“I can remember thinking at the time, ‘This is wrong,’” Spizer said in an interview with the New York Times.

Wrapped in a flag and holding a Bible.

They just showed him live from in front of St. John’s Church, holding it up like a prize ribbon at military school.

Incredible image, straight out of Sinclair Lewis.

Rhetoric

The art of persuasive speech.

In short (this used to work before before Fox Noose):

A river of ignorance and misunderstanding divides us.

State we don’t know everything, but we can work to understand one another.

Suggest we build a bridge of understanding to each other and meet there in the middle.

There, we can learn each other’s language, perspective, positions and (real) motivations.

Show why and how our side is the best side to be on and that it serves in her best interests.

She will want to come back to our side.
