The majority of published books on Holocaust are for children in the K-12 school age group, and they are fictional or partly-fictional accounts – even famous ones like Anne Frank's Diary.

THE HOLOCAUST OCCURRED JUST AS THE POPULAR NARRATIVE, as told in tens of thousands of books for children that have been published in the U.S. alone, says it did. So Texas professional educators and politicians quickly agreed in the wake of an uproar following a Dallas-Fort Worth area administrator's use of the Holocaust to explain how to allow all sides of a Civics issue to be heard, or available, in classrooms.

These non-experts in history assure teachers and public that the Holocaust is 'established fact' and 'settled history,' yet so sensitive that no other side can be presented—ever. Well, you know, they have voters to contend with. And they always need money too.

Sign of the times. Sign designating “George Floyd Square” – a several block area surrounding the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis – a sacred space for People of Color and detailing how White people must behave. See more here.

IT CAN'T BE THAT AN ex-con, crime and drug addicted black man named George Floyd is made into a hero-martyr-saint for Euro-American white people in the country they settled and built. Negroes were brought to America as worker-slaves at a time when such things (and worse) were legally done everywhere. This doesn't mean those of us today must live under Negro rules and lowered standards to “make up for it.” Or pay off their descendants.

This widely seen image taken from a bystander video on May 25 is detrimental to the defense case to the point of assuring a conviction. It shows Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin with his knee placed on the neck of the previously struggling George Floyd even after Floyd was no longer resisting.

BEFORE SEEING THE CLOSING ARGUMENTS, but after watching the entirety of the 13 days of courtroom testimony televised to the public, I am willing to offer my prediction of what this jury will do. I sat on one jury in my life, in a civil case. I know that the expectation to overcome differences and reach a final verdict is strong, and most jurors take that responsibility seriously. I've thought all along, and continue to think that the damning blow against Derek Chauvin is the video that shows all 9min25sec that George Floyd is pinned to the ground, even after he had ceased all resistance and apparently stopped breathing (shown in image above).

The second week of the Derek Chauvin trial has now wrapped up.

Monday through Thursday was devoted to testimony from the Minneapolis police chief, plus a selection of department investigators and training personnel discussing the MPD's “use of force” policies and what are approved tactics; then on to medical technicians and trainers, forensic doctors and scientists, and an emergency medical doctor. All agreed that George Floyd had been kept in a prone position (laying on stomach) while handcuffed and held down for too long, and this either contributed to or caused his death.

ON DAY FOUR, I thought I saw the defense strategy revealing itself, and on day five it was very clear to me. It's exactly as attorney Eric Nelson told the jury in his opening statement—that the law will instruct them to find the defendant “not guilty” if they have “reasonable doubt” that his actions were a culpable contributing factor in George Floyd's death.

That is, each juror must be convinced “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the treatment of Floyd by Chauvin was a substantial cause of unnecessary death, over and above other medical causes that will be testified to by medical 'experts' later in the trial. “Reasonable doubt” is the key concept here, and what might save Derek Chauvin … if anything can.

TEARY-EYED AND OUTRAGED witnesses to the 9 minutes of recorded “death throes” of George Floyd have made up the opening testimonies in the Derek Chauvin murder trial. What I've seen in these first two days is all about emotional reactions, and Fox News commentators get focused on the emotion just as much as the other mainstream networks.

Chauvin is being portrayed from the start as a heartless, even sadistic individual. It's no exaggeration to say the suggestion that Floyd was 'murdered' by Chauvin is something the prosecutors definitely want to leave in the jurors' minds.

I WROTE ON THIS SITE on last Dec. 31 that the year 2021 would be a time of “great awakening.” I felt a strong impulse to predict that even though I had no way of being sure of it. I can now say I am sure based on the first three months of this year 2021. What extraordinary events already! And much more to come—a year jam-packed with unfolding news at a speed that will challenge the best of us to keep up.

IT WAS ONLY A MONTH AGO that I posted the “heartwarming” story of William Latson (left), Principal of Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, Fla. and his rehiring with back pay after he was fired for a 'politically incorrect' exchange with a parent about the school's “Holocaust” instruction.

It seems logical to deduce that the parent was Jewish, but she has never been named.

The Palm Beach County School Board fired Latson over the incident, using “failure to carry out job responsibilities” as the legal reason. Latson appealed the decision and the arbitration judge agreed with him, recommending Latson be transferred to an another administrative position within the district at the same pay level. Thus just last month he was rehired with back pay of $152,000 by a 4-3 vote of the board.

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis announced on Tuesday in Bucharest his approval for the creation of an official Romanian Holocaust museum under the auspices of the Elie Wiesel Institute for Study of the Holocaust.

IT'S NOTICEABLE HOW ALL THE "NATIONAL" HOLOCAUST MUSEUMS around the world are instigated, lobbied for and originally funded by the same group of powerful Jews. A handful of people, really.

For example, Elie Wiesel, as a famous American Jew, was instrumental in persuading then U.S. President Jimmy Carter to back his dream of a United States Holocaust Museum in Washington D. C. - in view of the White House, no less, and adjacent to the Washington Monument! Now Elie Wiesel is again instrumental in the creation of the first holocaust museum in Romania - in Bucharest's central district - announced on Tuesday by Romania's president Klaus Iohannis.
