From a different perspective, I recently heard that, for the first
time, there are more Jews on Earth today than there were before the
Holocaust. 15 million and something. (Not counting the ones we just
lost in Israel.)

Maybe there's something to this "eternal people" story after all.

My tante and her daughter survived Auschwitz along with another cousin out of all the mishpuchah we lost. They told us all about the kapos and how they took people's identities upon liberation to launder their wicked past when they came to America. Many of these people went on to become big time zionists and moved to Israel taking positions of great opportunity. I'm not convinced that we're not being played.

Ever have one as a landlord? I did. Weird to be a real Jew up against a fake Jew who clung to zionism to give him cred, even in the early '70s. A regular kapo he was.

That's a frightening thought, but becoming more believable with every day.

So many dark forces at work, hard to know where to even begin to count them.
