#1 Pro-Russian separatists from Donetsk in eastern Ukraine denied any involvement in the circulation of flyers calling on Jews to register with separatists and pay special taxes.

#2 History repeats itself, but not in detail.

#3 I'd be a little cautious on this one. Could be a 'false flag' effort. More investigation needed.

#4 Absolutely correct 'soeker. Hit "Submit" before inserting "If true."

#5 The reason it's even credible is this nasty habit of history and peoples repeating themselves.

but our Russian fanboy won't believe it

#6 From AoS:

Update: I needn't have been as skeptical as I was. They're real.

From USAToday:

The leaflets bore the name of Denis Pushilin, who identified himself as chairman of Donetsks temporary government, and were distributed near the Donetsk synagogue and other areas, according to the report.

Pushilin acknowledged the flyers were distributed by his organization but he disavowed their content, according to the web site Jews of Kiev, Ynet reported

So Pushilin says he doesn't agree with the order, but acknowledges his men are in fact ordering Jews to register.

#7 These idiots should be less worried about Jooos and more worried about the Religion of Pieces.

Let's try something different this time - arm the Jews.

#10 US Ambassador has confirmed, as has Sec State ~~Heinz Ketchup~~ Kerry - per Fox News.

I told you all this was coming. surely someone in the intelligence community must have seen this, and could have raised flags about this. After all, I saw it, and without access to classified sources and methods - just open sources, and my own experience, superannuated as I may be as an old spook from the cold war.

The history is there if anyone cares to learn from it. - after all the purges of Jews in the Ukraine is where the word pogrom comes from. Putin wants to be Tsar, and I guess he doesn't mind Tsarist style pogroms. Given this is all about ethnicity and ethnic Russians, who cares if they put the boot on the neck of some Jews and take their stuff - its Russian territory, so ethnic Russians can take what they want, even if it isn't theirs -- right out of the 19th century.

But I cannot claim any sense of satisfaction at being right, just sadness and anger, because our leadership did nothing, they surely had at least one person in the IC to warn them.

... and some of our citizens even cheered the Russian fascists on, despite warnings of the goons edging ever closer toward pogrom. This is especially true one of Putins cheerleader's here. SMH
