I wonder how much in death taxes he is saving his heirs by dying now and not in 6 weeks. The evil rich need to be sucked dry!

Total speculation: Could Finklestein be the “Wall Street Insider”? If real, this Insider was reported to be in poor health right before the election.

That was the very first thing I thought of. The “Insider” spoke often about trying to make up for grievous political errors in his life. It would seem spending decades supporting a party that devolved into craven socialism would be one bigtime error.
Also, the Ulsterman website has posted a video of “Amazing Grace” this morning.

“Also, the Ulsterman website has posted a video of Amazing Grace this morning.”
Kind of a big tip-off there regarding Finklestein as possible “Wall Street Insider”????

The WSI was born in Europe and came to America from France in the 1930s with his parents, just escaping the Nazi war machine.He fears Obama is another Hitler.
Mr. Finkelstein was born and raised here.
Hopefully, WSI is still with us. We have not heard from him since the day after the election.

This might just be disinformation put out by Ulsterman to protect WSI!

Maybe Ulsterman knew Jerry was on the way out?
Or maybe he was just worried about the pre-election polling showing Barry leading!
