Dear Victor, I n would like to give my take on the start of WW2. My father was originally from Przeworsk Poland, in 1941 at the 16 he was taking by the Germans during the night from his grandparents as they were raising him up because his step mother didn’t want him. In 1944 he was taking to a hard labor camp on the Austrian-Hungarian border to build tank traps etc in face of the oncoming Russian advance. One day in early 1945 his party were having a break in the forest when they noticed the SS guards had gone even leaving their weapons hanging in the tree. My Dad always had a chuckle when he told that part of his story. The prisoners had a choice wait for the advancing Russians as they can hear the artillery in the distance, escape to try to get back to Poland or run back to the German lines? They chose to run back to the German lines because they believed the Soviet communists would kill them, either on their trip back to Poland or the advancing Soviet troops. My father managed get to Vienna where he said “ it was full of SS troops and tanks but he was left alone as they had bigger things on their mind than escaped prisoner “ My point is that my father was a bigger anti communist than anti German/Nazi and I believe that there were many Poles like my father. The last thing Britain needed was a Poland making some kind of pact with Germany. Therefore a hurried peace agreement by Britain and France,. Roger
Moorhouse book “ Polish War 1939 “ your thoughts.
Victor . . .long time listener . . I read an article in the WSJ today “Kamala Runs for President as Businesses Flee Her State” . . I believe there is a HUGE problem that most are missing . . . on how the California Air Resources Board is destroying the Nation’s #1 Port complex, LA & LB. Their mandate that any new truck added to the Port Registry, for all Ports in California, Maritime and Rail, from 1/1/24 forward be Zero Emissions will strangle our port system. THESE TRUCKS DO NOT EXIST. Shippers and Consignees are aware of this ridiculous mandate and will rapidly establish supply chain patterns eliminating the California Gateway altogether . . This is all being done by a group of environmental zealots, right under our noses. Most Californians are unaware of this mandate but, when it hits all commercials vehicles, it will be the single most inflationary move EVER enacted by an unelected, bureaucratic agency . . . PLEASE, check it out Victor . . .Your voice would make a difference . . .
Off Topic;
But what is the real big issue for Bobby Kennedy to be removed off a ballot?
Why is it the Democrats want him on the ballot? is it because they think it will draw votes away from Trump?
Yes.
The irony is that before Biden was forced to back out, the Democrats didn’t want Kennedy on the ballot, because they thought he’d take votes away from Biden.
Actually the DNC would never endorse another Kennedy especially RFK because he has a mind of his own. The DNC will only endorse those that believe in their party line all the way or those who are hollow enough to do whatever they say. We basically have become just like China or Aussie in the way our government operates.
The WWII revisionism goes a lot further back than this. In the latter ’90s, I took a guided behind-the-scenes tour of the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum’s restoration facility, which at the time was at Silver Hill. This was in the immediate wake of the Enola Gay scandal, where curators had produced a display describing events leading up to the dropping of the two nuclear weapons on Japan that largely suggested that it was the US that had instigated the war in the Pacific with little mention of the atrocities committed by the Japanese before and during the war.
For decades, the museum had been largely directed and run by WWII era veterans. But at this point, they were slowly being replaced by boomers and gen-x’ers straight out of academia. This was causing a generational rift within the museum. My tour guide, a WWII veteran around 80 made no secret about his and his peers contempt for these inexperienced revisionists.
I’ve always been amazed by the Progressive desire and ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
