I have not read your thread/link it does not connect..this is not a music thread....I don't particularly like you .....but I do have a comment within this area.

I was visiting ten days ago with a Sephardic Jew/Dutch/Immigrant/friend.

His son is a noted sucessful-popular-international-lable-musician.

As we sit in a throng of people he will point out souls, who sold out to the Germans.....and yet today he does business with them.

He is frightened, that the "German Experience" is repeating itself in Russia....He states the economy, the huge debt, the low moral and morale condition of the population. He has grave concerns....

I don't know........I don't watch main-stream media.... Like Cowboy Rogers "I only know what I read in the papers."

This Dutch man is sincere about his fears.
