LETTERS TO THE EDITOR June 13, 2009
The Northern Virginia Daily

Sir:
The holocaust museum in Washington, D.C. stands as a shrine for humanity’s inhumanity to itself. It is a permanent monument of the world’s refusal to hear the pleas of atrocities. Had the world listened to those reporting the mass murder of Jews, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses and others, there would be no holocaust museum. But it was more comfortable to brush away the unspeakable with denials, and continue a life of privileged consumption. While millions were perishing in concentration camps, and the perpetrators of this war machinery glutted more power, the world pretended it wasn’t happening.
The recent shootings at the museum have created much fodder for the Republican radio mouth pieces, and Israel licked its wounds in front of the world stage. Talk radio propagandists have even insinuated von Brunn was a member of the 9/11 Truth Movement, and a hero to that group.
So far, no word from Kingdom Hall or the gay community; both have a bit more dignity than that. Other holocaust victims have yet to chime in.
The 9/11 Truth Movement consists of millions globally, who ask that a new investigation be held in light of conflicting evidence that shames the “official” story. Recently, conclusive studies reported the presence of thermite in the WTC debris, indicative of controlled demolition. A huge list of other facts and statistics remain ignored by the rest of the world, because it is an inconvenience to privileged consumption, and to admit that such an evil exists under our own noses makes us look bad. Secret prisons that torture kidnapped “suspects”, built by tax payer dollars, apparently doesn’t make us look bad. A general consensus regarding lies leading to a war which continues to this day, apparently doesn’t make us look bad. Disregarding Geneva Convention rules apparently doesn’t make us look bad.
So the very monument to the world’s refusal to hear makes headlines. The perpetrators of war machinery glut more power. Radio mouthpieces fuel more hatred, and the world once again refuses to consider; there might be a problem, here.
A new museum looms in our future.
