“WE turned away hundreds of thousands of people during WWII. . .”
Texokie, the above really p*sses me off and I don’t like to shout, but I’m going to and I want you to know it’s not at you, or the poster, but to the people who buy this tripe:
THERE WAS A FREAKING WORLD WAR ON THAT WE WERE FIGHTING FOR OUR LIVES ON TWO FREAKING FRONTS!!!!!
They didn’t have people, time, or resources to take in every refugee in the world.
Grrr... hate revisionist history.

I understand that, ichabod1.
Fighting a total war requires expediency. It really does. And as someone has pointed out, NO ONE would have believed, and even some barely do today, at the genocide that was taking place. On that basis, it was justifiable to turn them away. WE, the good people of America didn’t know....
But that does not take away the pain when we realize afterwards the truth so profoundly expressed by POGO:
“We have met the enemy - and he is US.”
As others have noted upthread, the rats had already invaded the higher circles of government and were making decisions of betrayal which you and I, nor likely our parents, would ever have countenanced. I submit that others at the levers of power did know of the genocide, and hardened their hearts.
In a lot of ways, what is part of the action of Q research, except to attempt to RECLAIM history and find out the truth to refute those who have been lying to us?
It IS painful, but if we want to know the truth and then to heal, we have to pull the bandaid off and let the putrescence out, and then clean it up. Then it can heal.
Copying a comment I made today, perfect for replying to your excellent comments:
What makes all the difference in the world is if a person thirsts after Truth more than anything else. If a person thirsts more after being “right” - iow, they want to be a know-it-all - if someone is more invested in “I know and you don’t” than they are in knowing the Truth, then they will not see Truth no matter how plain and clear it is.
One has to be willing to jettison fondly held beliefs and positions if proven wrong, and be willing to admit that “Wow, I was wrong”.
It’s a much better way to live. The only way to really live. It’s a great freedom.
