Vera said something at 6:40: Holocaust survivors were denied entry to memorials if they could not provide a "Green Pass" in Germany, Israel and the USA.

Just wanted to add a country to that list.

This outrage happened in Canada as well.

"Today, museums stand in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver, all within Jewish communal buildings."

Every single one of them, at the penning of that article in December 2021, denied entry to anyone who could not produce a QR Code ("Vax Pass") or "Fully Vaccinated" (Health Canada) card.

Be they Holocaust Survivors, family of Holocaust Survivors, Jewish, or "other".

I am an "other".

I was forced out of 2 jobs in 2021 after first losing my small business to Covid Madness in 2020 and being unemployed for one year.

Due to my refusal to "comply" with jab mandates.

From October 2021 through June 2022, I was literally banned from participating in Canadian society, prevented from earning a living, and prevented from boarding a plane, train or ship within Canada, due to my "vaccination status."

I could not flee Canada via ferry or the land border with the US either, due to restrictions against the unvaccinated which are still in place as I write this:

Admire Vera, very much. Have heard her speak several times and will continue listening now.

Thank you both. 💖

Around the 13 minute mark as she talks about the affect masking has on children and their ability to discern and trust....I have chills.

Hello Mickey Z,

I have been following Vera Sharav since the day she appeared at Fuellmich's investigative committee, and I took her speeches (in Nuremberg and before that in Brussels) to heart; and read many of the contibutions on the ahrp.org site... But your chat with her was so poignant, so fresh... A heartfelt thankyou to you and to her.

When I first read your New York impressions, vignettes, reminiscences - in brief, blogs - I recognized the soul of a real writer (and remembered a luciddream I had of Brooklyn). I won't go on a rant about 'structural features' or 'poetic diction'; these have their place (or dance) in the scheme of things, but it's more a matter of resonance, of where you're coming from. And VERY much appreciated - and for me personally, a good sort of challenge, even though we all have our personal path to follow.

So why bring this up?

Today I heard you praise Vera by saying 'we have to try new things.' And there's the rub. I have been wrestling to put out a substack, but (apart from technicalities I'm no good at) soon realized it makes little sense to regurgitate messages that others are much better at - true science, let's say, unravelling dark schemes. Yes, I read or listen to various doctors and geopolitically-minded virtuosos, and I take away a lot from those, precisely because it's not my ballgame.

But there's no reason to stay silent - or be satisfied with the off comment or the occasional pinprick on Facebook (my main reason for not leaving it).

I ffelt I had to find - relaunch - my true voice.; and you're one of the freedom fighters who inspire me to do so; who opened my eyes to the astonishing fact that I've been on that track for years, albeit in the form of huge canvasses of historical fiction - futuristic tales of what was, musings over things that could have been, were it not for... this tyrant, that orthodoy, those meanspirited adversaries... Hardly knowing concepts like mass formation or MK-Ultra, I've been portraying jeering crowds in Alexandria, censorship in imperial China, heresy amongst troubadours; and always with a sense of urgency. Only now do I understand why.

Novelists tend to get entangled in the soap bubbles they blow; or in their favorite hangouts, more limited than they like to believe. For this reason I enjoy the flowers of selfless prose in you, Tessa Lena., satirist CJ Hopkins (the 21st century Kurt Tucholsky, in my opinion), the superbly written wrath of dr Paul Al;exander, and, lest I forget, the moving stand-up comedian dr Mark Trozzi, precisely because this good doctor loves people and does not aspire to fame in that regard.

So, there you have it. Thanks for listening!
