Obwohl längst belegt ist, dass es sich bei den »Protokollen der Weisen von Zion« um eine gezielte Fälschung handelt, entfaltet das antisemitische Machwerk bis heute weltweit Wirkung. Der Dokumentarfilm »Weltkarriere einer Lüge« geht dieser fatalen Wirkmacht nach.

A very eloquent Clive Lewis MP highlighting that water & energy companies are charging us high prices not for infrastructure investment but to make profit.
The Reform has dropped the act, openly Thatcherite. The Conservatives are copying them to save their skins. The best way to cut support for the authoritarian right is to stand with people against profiteers in water and energy, and give real security.

The Nazis extended Germany’s national bank and used it to store gold stolen from holocaust victims - including wedding rings and fillings - formed into gold bars.

The gold was then moved to a mine in Thuringia as the Soviets approached the capital in 1945. It was discovered by US forces.

Today, Lower Silesia celebrates 15 years as a voivodeship and, as they put it, 80 years of ‘postwar Lower Silesia.’ Whatever the occasion, just wanted to relaunch my posting with this photo from around 8 years ago. That’s exactly when my research started — and so did my layered love for the region.
