If you read the NY Times during WWII you didn’t see the Holocaust coming.

First of all, nothing burned.

Secondly, I saw this coming. I didn’t join Parler because I knew that they would have a huge huge bullseye on them. They intend to compete with the censorship cartel. If the silicon valley really has all the ties to the deep state that I think they do, outlook does not appear sunny.

Newsweek mentioned Parler earlier.

The attack is underway.

Be careful there, NYT — remember to give your enemy some degree of hope.

Well, since many of us had little to no cell service in DC, we couldn’t go to Parler for our instructions.

My ATT phone was No Service almost all day.

That’s not exactly fair. It is true for the Ukrainian Holodormor which the Times did cover up—I believe they won a Pulitzer Prize for their efforts.

The Holocaust, when discovered in the last days of the war was pretty much a surprise to everyone. Not that Hitler and the Nazis despised the Jews, but the lengths they went to destroy European Jewry, I think was a surprise.

I used to show my 8th-grade students a documentary called Memories of the Camps. The first hour or so shows the Brits going into Bergen-Belsen and being utterly shocked at what they saw.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buried_by_the_Times

The book is a critical account of The New York Times’s coverage of Nazi atrocities against Jews that culminated in the Holocaust. It argues that the news was often buried in the back pages in part due to the view about Judaism of the paper’s Jewish publisher, Arthur Hays Sulzberger. It also gives a critical look at the work of Times correspondents in Europe.

...The placement of news articles in a newspaper is a good indication of the importance given by the newspaper to a story. The Times consistently placed major stories about the Nazi treatment of European Jews on back pages “by the soap and shoe polish ads.”[1] Leff found that during the period September 1939 to May 1945 very few stories about Jewish victims made the Times front page. “The story of the Holocaust—meaning articles that focused on the discrimination, deportation, and destruction of the Jews—made the Times front page just 26 times, and only in six of those stories were Jews identified on the front as the primary victims.”[2]

"If you read the NY Times during WWII you didn’t see the Holocaust coming."

Exactly. They had a correspondent attending Hitler's birthday celebration in Germany, and at the same time, they had a reporter touring the newly open Dauchau prison, where just the week before, four political prisoners had been shot, at close range in the back of the head because they were "trying to escape." 3 of the 4 were Jews. The 4th guy who died wasn't even supposed to be in the group. He mistakenly ended up there because he had the same name as a Jewish prisoner. That was just the beginning. The Slimes reporter was taken around the camp by then Commandant Hilmar Wäckerle. The Slimes reporter wrote a glowing review of how well the camp was run. He did report that 4 Communists were shot trying to escape, but there was no mention that they were Jewish.

I recommend "Hitler's First Victims: The Quest for Justice" by Timothy W. Ryback, and "KL: A History of the Nazi Concentration Camps" by Nickolaus Wachsmann.

This article is from the NY Slimes, and to tell you the truth, I haven’t seen anyone posting articles on Parler from them. I don’t even think I’ve seen any Washington Post articles on Parler...which is fine with me.

I almost thought Saturday would pass without Apple acting, but then:

UPDATE: Jan. 9, 2021, 7:50 p.m. EST Apple announced it has suspended Parler
