The “holocaust” memorial carbuncle
Huge numbers of people, including many Jews, and even Zionist Jews, oppose the proposed “memorial” (oft-called, “carbuncle”) near the Palace of Westminster, which has been pushed through by hard-core Zionists, and by corrupt political puppets such as Robert Jenrick.
I have now seen a open letter by a Jewish woman about the matter. It is worth publishing in full:

High Court Approves Legal Challenge to Government re Holocaust memorial in Victoria Tower Gardens
Late on Friday afternoon the English High Court granted permission to appeal the Government decision to build the Holocaust Memorial in Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster, London.
I was originally invited by Government to take part in the planning design consultation, so let me just say that the proposers of this idea have behaved all along like bullies.
Moreover, a very large part of the Zoom Planning Enquiry was taken up by counsel for the Government quashing dissent by accusing experts of being anti-Semitic. I myself received an unacceptable letter from the relevant Civil Servant, whom I had earlier been asked to host in my own home to offer expert advice on how to tackle the burgeoning antisemitism in the UK.
So, they don’t mind using our brains and expertise when it suits – and then they discard us like so much flotsam and jetsam (it has been ever so, of course, as far as we Jews are concerned) when we have served our purpose.
As somebody involved at the very start of this disgraceful affair, may I further say that this enterprise was never to do with safeguarding the UK Jewish community (as we were told), or even about properly remembering the Holocaust. This was about a whole load of bullies sacrilegiously using the concept of the Shoah for their own ends.
Instead of taking a stand against this obvious miscarriage of justice at the outset, what did the contemporary Church leadership do?
They disregarded the pleas of their own Area Dean of Westminster, where local school children make use the park’s playground. They ignored the written and verbal warnings of their former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Lord Rowan Williams. They ignored the Father of the House of Commons. They contemptuously ridiculed distinguished Jewish peers with family links to the Holocaust who have served this country with great devotion. They ignored ordinary people on the ground. They ignored every significant Holocaust historian in the country. They ignored seasoned Holocaust educators. They ignored Sir Richard Evans, expert witness in the David Irving case against Professor Deborah Lipstadt .
The usually voluble British Press stayed silent – I am thinking particularly of the Guardian and the Times – hardly any discussion was permitted in their pages. Where were the Green Parties and leading environmental groups all over the world – and why did that arch anti-Semite, Jeremy Corbyn, support this scheme with alacrity ?
Why at the Zoom Planning Enquiry did the Planning Inspector constantly refer to ‘racism’ rather than ‘antisemitism’, and why did he have an argument on the issue with this country’s longest standing Holocaust educator, yet allow counsel for the Government to accuse dissenters and experts of antisemitism, resulting in these experts having to water down their well-thought out assessments?
Once the facts are all known, it becomes increasingly evident that to have even considered this type of monstrous carbuncle for a tiny heritage space is akin to suggesting a memorial to the Ku Klux Klan on behalf of the black community of North America. It is to spit in the faces of the Jewish community – it is the theology of contempt.
Those in favour of this proposal have a death wish towards the Jewish community. Those brave people who opposed the scheme are the true supporters of Jewish values shockingly destroyed in the Holocaust and which the State of Israel for one is trying to build up again from the ashes. And on this note, I have just this minute heard from one of the 115 Jewish signatories to our letter opposing this memorial, published in the Jewish Chronicle on August 31st. Professor Richard Schwartz has just been recognized by the State of Israel as one of that country’s leading climate crisis experts. Yes, Professor Richard Schwartz, the USA’s foremost Jewish environmental expert, now living in Israel, signed our letter of dissent. Why did others not do so and prefer instead to stay silent, as so many others did during the Holocaust?

This is in contrast to the proponents of this scheme who have made it clear that they don’t honour anyone or anything other than themselves.

When I was younger, it seemed almost unsophisticated, intellectually, to think in terms of international conspiracy; now, I realize that there is such a conspiracy (a linked series of conspiracies), even though it may not control “everything” (as some people tend to think), and even though many of those who are part of it may think of it as a “consensus” rather than as a “conspiracy”.

Good to know, but first the strategy has to be right: identify your enemy…
The oppressed have a right to strike back.
To add to David Dimbleby’s parting remarks on Referendum Night, “the people have spoken…and we’re out…” (and so, having confounded the System, the people will not be allowed to speak in future…).
People of the future will wonder and puzzle about how it was that really rather ordinary people such as Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, Jeff Bezos etc were able to accumulate such money and, indeed, power.
Steve Laws is performing a public service, but how many people are really paying attention? 1% of the population? 2%?
