Holocaust Reparations by French Railway System
 
Holocaust survivors are demanding that the French railway system, SNCF, pay reparations to Holocaust survivors before the company can bid on a light rail system here in Maryland. Though tragic, I don't support the idea of the French railway paying for what the Nazis compelled them to do. What say you?

The survivors are blaming the wrong entity IMO.

I agree. I'm thinking it's because SNCF has assets and the survivors here now believe that they have leverage to get at those assets.

donquixote99 03-10-2014 08:35 AM

That's the whole thing right there.

I think the company would do well by making a huge donation without any coercion.

George Soros on the other hand is a soulless sociopath, left-wing extremist who collaborated with the Nazis. It would be good to strip him of all his assets for his involvement.

I thought the same of Romney, only he's a rightwing sociopath who collaborates with Republicans. Which is even worse.

Wow thats big to compare an idiotic comment like that to Soros willing involvement in genocide.

donquixote99 03-10-2014 09:05 AM

A 10-minute hate has been called on George Soros!

Any takers?

No, no Romney involvement in genocide. Jobocide, yes. Thousands of those outsourced to line his Cayman bank accounts. But, genocide? You're right. That is quite a stretch.

Lot of this reparation business, especially in the US, is shakedown. Smart "artists" know that the Jews have a very powerful lobby in US.

BTW another set of hustlers are trying to bring a sizeable portion of the aged
Jewish population in Ukraine to the US as refugees.
In the US the aged will driven around, entertained, medicated by Jewish business groups and then government agencies and Medicaid will be billed. :D

Oerets 03-10-2014 09:11 AM

Cost of doing business I'm afraid in these modern times.

I do not agree with the lawsuit, like going after the pilot of a hijacked plane IMHO!

When the source of allegations that Soros is a Nazi is Glenn Beck, I would take it with a boulder of salt. Indeed, it is false.

The Jewish ADL also rejects Beck's defamation.

The best defense is to ignore the substance of any criticism, and just attack someone else.

Isn't it?

No, but it is very entertaining.

WOW! I pulled off that sentence without a single mispelling. Amazing such a lowly peasant like me could manage such a complicated task, isn't it? Must be that wonderful public education bestowed upon me by the state of Ohio and union taxpayers like my Dad.

The misspellings and wrong words from a poster here are a tactical mockery/aggravation, with an anti-intellectual strategy behind it.

How does Soros feel about what he did as a teenager? Has it kept him up at night?

Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes asked him that. Was it difficult? “Not at all,” Soros answered.

“No feeling of guilt?” asked Kroft. “No,” said Soros. “There was no sense that I shouldn’t be there. If I wasn’t doing it, somebody else would be taking it away anyhow. Whether I was there or not. So I had no sense of guilt.”

A Nazi would steal the Jews’ property anyways. So why not him?

You seem to be suggesting he was instigating stealing for his own benefit. As opposed to, as a teenage boy, keeping his head down and doing what he was told, and surviving. And rationalizing it afterwards. Big whoop.

And this bit of innuendo is the worst you've got, of course.

Fine. The 14-year-old Soros felt exhilarated. You can't figure how that could be? You think that makes him psychopathic?

The text overlay lies, of course. The young teenager wasn't in charge of anything.

There is tons of information on the guy. Read it and learn something. And, not all of it is written by cranks who dig for any sort of defamatory dirt they can find for purely political purposes.

I don't consider the actions of a fourteen year old boy, doing as he's told to avoid punishment and ridicule a serious point to consider. Didn't we recently have a Pope who was a member of the Hitlerjugend?

So what?

The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee does an excellent job
aiding aged Jews all over the world.

However this Rabbi was on local TV (Channel 11) stating that he was going Kiev with the American delegation to bring some of the Jews to America...not to Israel.

In NY there is huge geriatric industry; a good section of which consist of Jewish refugees from the former Soviet Union. These were people who came here under the Jackson Amendment.

I note "a sizeable portion of the aged Jewish population in Ukraine," in your first alarming report, is now down to "some."

Keep me informed as the numbers firm up.

As did Ford Motor company and the Bush family.

Strip them as well?

The real question is why is this project being handed to a French company?

Isn't the Baltimore light rail (or DC's subway) Spanish? We're in the middle of building a light rail system here in Sonoma and Marin Counties. The rolling stock is coming from Japan.

We don't have a rail industry here any more. We walked away from it 60 years ago in favor of air and over-the-road transport.

John

BlueStreak 03-11-2014 03:16 PM

Here, they are voting on extending the "Tide" light rail system to the ocean front. The elitists in Virginia Beach are still fighting it, but resistance gets weaker each time. We'll wear them down.

The new Amtrak station in Norfolk is completed linking Amtrak to the Tide. If we get the "Beach" extension done, that will link the Va. Beach Oceanfront to the rest of the east coast by rail. The hope is that this will relieve tourist season auto traffic.

We shall see.

Yep, the USA doesn't make the rolling stock for light rail or subway and certainly not for high-speed rail (hence the silliness behind high speed rail being job creators).

Oh, I dunno. No, there are no jobs in the manufacture of the rolling stock. There are probably no jobs in making the rails or sleepers either. That doesn't mean that there are no jobs though. There are jobs building the system. Then there are jobs operating and maintaining it once it's built. There's a societal benefit just from having and using the system, regardless of where the train actually came from. The guy who hires a crew to dig holes and another crew to fill them in is a "job creator" but where's the benefit to the society?

John

bobabode 03-11-2014 06:06 PM

I suspect there's an ecological benefit to replacing all those commuter flights with high speed rail in California.
