Yesterday and Today
Santayana was on to something
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
When Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump were doing their impersonations of Wilhelm Keitel and Adolf Hitler, our senior military personnel were doing theirs of August Landmesser.
Read that Nicole Kidman applied for citizenship in Portugal. She & Keith Urban applied for divorce. All the talk of fascism.
"August Landmesser was a German man famous for appearing in a 1936 photograph refusing to perform the Nazi salute, a symbolic act of defiance against the regime. He had previously joined the Nazi Party but was expelled after falling in love with and becoming engaged to a Jewish woman, Irma Eckler. His refusal to marry under the Nuremberg Laws and subsequent persecution led to his imprisonment in a concentration camp and eventual death during World War II while serving in a forced labor battalion."
