Preocupan las generaciones de la hora contemporánea

Entristece y preocupa que las generaciones de la hora contemporánea -niños, adolescentes y jóvenes, específicamente- coexistan en un ambiente intoxicado, con exceso de maldad y de violencia, ausente de bien y de sentimientos nobles, entre la irracionalidad, el miedo, la intolerancia, la superficialidad, las enfermedades y la mediocridad, con listas de ausencias por las muertes que interrumpen vidas, proyectos, alegrías. Mortifica que se acostumbren al mal y no al bien, a la enfermedad y no a la salud, a los barrotes y a las cadenas y no a las alas y a los aires de la libertad, a la agresividad y al odio y no al amor, al antagonismo entre opuestos y no a la armonía y al respeto, a las tristezas y no a la felicidad, a la guerra y no a la paz, a las carencias y…

Anger as Poland plans law that will stop Jews reclaiming wartime homes | Holocaust | The Guardian

In the coming weeks, a new law is expected to pass its final stages in the Polish parliament that will set a 30-year time limit on legal challenges over confiscated properties, in effect axing thousnds of claims.

The Polish government has said the new regulations are aimed at preventing fraud and “irregularities”. It has also said it is “not responsible for the Holocaust, an atrocity committed by the German [occupiers]”. But many other countries – including the UK, Israel and the US – have sharply criticised the move.

Israel’s foreign ministry said: “This is not a historical debate about responsibility for the Holocaust but a moral debt of Poland to those who were its citizens and whose property was looted during the Holocaust and under the communist regime.”

Last week, the US said the legislation “would cause irreparable harm to both Jews and non-Jews by effectively extinguishing claims for restitution and compensation of property taken during the Holocaust that was subsequently nationalised during the communist period”.

Da Snarky Snippets Keep On Rolling

Filosofa's Word

Snarky?  Moi?  Surely you jest!  Okay, yeah, I admit that I am just a bit on the snarky side these days.  Perhaps it is just a product of my old age, or lack of sleep.  Or, perhaps it is … PEOPLE!  Just when I think I’ve heard it all, somebody flits across my radar to show me I haven’t.  And just when we think humans can go no lower, somebody comes along to prove to us that there are new lows being dug every day.


Say WHAT???

Charlie Gerow is a Republican running for governor of Pennsylvania in next year’s election.  Sadly, the incumbent, Tom Wolfe, is term limited and cannot run again, for he has been, from everything I know, a good governor.  But back to Charlie Gerow …

Gerow is under investigation in connection with an accident between a car and a motorcycle accident on July 21st

Oklahoma GOP fundraising off vaccinations, yellow stars | TheHill (Me: GOP has not problem with anti-Semitism to raise funds and suppress vaccinations at the same time)

The Oklahoma Republican Party on Friday raised funds through a Facebook post that appeared to compare being unvaccianted to being a Jew in Nazi Germany.

In a photo posted on the party’s official Facebook page, a yellow Star of David like the ones Jews were forced to wear to identify themselves is shown with the word “Unvaccianted” superimposed on top of it.

“Limited access to travel within their State, Province or Territory. The bearer may not fly, cannot enter a pub, restaurant, club or theatre. Has limited access to either work, buy and sell goods or have access to services and healthcare,” the post read. “Wake up people — is this sounding familiar?”
