Rattling around in my head is a theory and it's been there a while, but because it involves one of the most taboo topics of my lifetime (and no doubt a generation or so before I was born, too) I am hesitant to ask it.
What is courage if it isn't doing something you think is right even if you fear it? a voice reminds me, Courage is important.
I respond: Yes, surely. But this venue is more or less meaningless and at the same time what I type here is permanent. One day this might be used against me the way a clumsy phrase is used against every single person who ever tried to do good in the world.
The voice is silent. There is no more to say. I must either put it out there and hope that I will not be as imprecise as I fear I might be, or I keep quiet.
So here's the question:
Why, on November 11th every single year, are school children as young as 7 years old forced to watch films of Hitler's heinous acts. Why must they see footage of emaciated bodies lined up at fences and being herded onto trains and then, in the final horror, see their corpses being piled into ditches?
Is it because this was an act so egregious that no other leader anywhere, ever, has created that type of hell on earth? Is it because that war ended the practice of racial/ethnic/religious discrimination once and for all? Is it because the West used inordinate force in that war and we feel we still need to justify it?
No. None of those are true.
So why? Why?

Well sure, it's a selectively woven narrative that reinforces support for the State, for Western Hegemony and of course for the Israeli Occupation.
Human Rights, anti-Racism and the liberation of oppressed peoples as universal principles are very far from their central concerns.
Still, this doesn't prove David Icke's "Rothschild Zionism" nonsense- not in the slightest...

Sure, that's absolutely right.
It's brainwashing though. It is 'thought stopping' though. And it is systematic, government sanctioned. Isn't that more worthy of your ire than Icke's (imagined) 'danger?'

Do two wrongs ever make a right?
And is the tale woven by Icke regarding Rothschild Zionism is anything other than vile racism and completely misleading politics at its core?

Most of us, most of the global populace wouldn't even know were it not for his "detractors" and "skeptics". Anti-Icke people need to think "outside the box". The dude wouldn't even exist were it not for your tireless work in shining the light on shit nobody believes just upon contact with it.

that's totally true. I only ever saw mention of icke along sidebars in other sites and it was always something like the articles I've seen AD post - bashing the shit out of him. And for a long time I hesitated to look closely at what Icke had to say, thinking that surely ALL these people couldn't be wrong and the man was indeed a fucking mental case Jew hater.
But then I did. Because there was so much hate that I had to see what the fuss was about. I was stunned to find what I did find when I finally gave Icke a chance.
it's kinda making me really curious about Ernst Zundel, too, to be honest. I've never read a word the man has said but now I want to.

Hold up!
I distinctly remember from the OP video (and just went and checked) - one of the MAIN methods of Madman Icke is that he induces guilt. I believe the exact graphic from the video is:
