Reminds Me Of The Purple Heart Charade
That's where 1.5 million Purple Hearts were handed out in
WW2, and because there was no records, a Zionist started the
Purple Heart registry. That's where you
send in a fee to their office, and they verify you are a hero. Then you go
get a special War Hero license plate and tool around Brighton Beach.
So Who Hands Out These Harvard Scholarships
I often ponder, why do a 4% of the population make up 40%
of the Ivy League? Then I wonder how they amassed all these scholarships?
Then I Curse Hitler
What if he didn't kill the six million? We could be a
world of 'Super Geniuses'!! I can still hear the screams of the 4,000,000
gassed in the two car garage at Auschwitz.
I curse all Germans, and ask 'Where was God'
