Apr 2014

I'm resigning myself to a year of depression if things keep going the way they are, from bad to worse every day.

Please see Koko's thread in GD: "Ukraine Is Not Ordering Its Jews to Register"

I spent several hours looking into this and made several posts. My last post, Letter from NCSJ. Also there are 3 similar leaflets, has me boiling mad.

Time Magazine reported that this is "Either a Hoax or a Crude Extortion Scheme".

Shame on whoever is behind this.
