Fact or Fiction B: The oldest computer in the world can apparently be traced back to Adam and Eve. It was an Apple, but with extremely limited memory. Just one bite and it crashed. |

Over 80 years ago, in Greece, sixty thousand Jews lived peacefully in
Thessaloniki. It was a valued and vibrant community. Most of these Jews worked in the port. So much so that the port of Thessaloniki was even closed on Saturday, Shabbat. Great emeritus rabbis also lived and studied there. Everyone rubbed shoulders and appreciated each other. But on September 2, 1939, on the eve of the outbreak of World War II, it is on this great community that the Nazi terror will suddenly rise. On April 6, 1941, Hitler invaded Greece in order to secure its southern front before launching the famous Operation Barbarossa and its great offensive against Russia. Of the 60,000 Jews in Thessaloniki, around 50,000 will be exterminated at the Birkenau concentration camp, in record time! The massacre of the Jews of Greece was brief but intense. Very few will have the chance to make it. But among the survivors there was a family known as Bourla. And after the war, in 1961, a son was born into this miraculous family in the camps. His parents called him Israel – Abraham. He grew up and studied veterinary medicine in Greece. A brilliant student, Abraham will get his doctorate in reproductive biotechnology at the veterinary school of Aristotle University in Salonika. At the age of 34, he decided to move to the United States. He changes his first name Abraham, to Albert. Albert was integrated into the medical industry. He progressed quickly and joined a pharmaceutical company where he became “Head manager.” Abraham (Albert) rose through the ranks and got his appointment as CEO of this company in 2019. Throughout the year Albert decides to direct the efforts of the company to try to find a vaccine against a new virus (Covid) which has just struck the world. He expends great financial and technological efforts to achieve his goal. A year later the WHO (World Health Organization) validates his company to produce the long-awaited vaccine ... His vaccine will be distributed in several countries including Germany, which counts thousands of dead from the pandemic. Ironically, this vaccine which will save the lives of millions of people around the world including many Germans, was led and pushed by a little Jew from Thessaloniki, son of Holocaust survivors from whom most of his people were exterminated by Nazi Germany. And that is why Israel became the first country to receive the vaccine. In memory of his grandparents and his parents, who gave birth to Israel-Abraham Bourla, known today as Albert Bourla: CEO of Pfizer. |

An interesting story of greater success for Jews escaping the Nazi concentration camps Bob was the escape and re-homing of about 20,000 in Shanghai China. Most were rounded up when Germany's ally Japan invaded China but they didn't seem interested in Jews who mostly survived before moving all over the world after the war including here. Still a community of a few thousand there today though.

I might need a little more 'ready' to see me through next year because the Andrews Government has today announced increases in my land tax on my investment properties by $1200 pa and my tenants will walk if I increase their rentals. Do you have any contact with Dan, to get me an exemption from the increase ?

thanks Bob - see if you can tell if this is fact or fiction.
in 2016 a game show host was elected as president of the USA. Now this guy had quite the reputation. Scandals were his specialty - womanising, hookers, pawn stars, dodgy business deals, links with the mafia and pedophiles, bankruptcies, bad hairdo's. He was also seriously thick with no idea of foreign policy or actually anything outside of the USA. He WAS good at cheating at golf
He would go on to have a most chaotic term with a revolving door of staff and be impeached twice. Even when he was voted out of office he refused to accept the peoples will. In fact he would go on to incite violence on the capital. Fact or Fiction? |

Marble posted: "He was also seriously thick with no idea of foreign policy or actually anything outside of the USA". Are you referring to the current POTUS ? The current incumbent has stuffed up over funding millions to Iran who are funding the "militant" Hamas in their firing of missiles at Israel, although I am unaware whether he even plays golf to be considered a cheat.

Poor old Bob seems to be very confused on so many topics lately.
I wonder if he could tell Shammy if his election was stolen?

The Biden administration has unfrozen $1 billion in Iranian funds that the country could use for humanitarian relief, amid the negotiations for the US to re-enter the 2015 nuclear deal and bring Iran back into compliance with its terms.
Iran has handballed those unfrozen funds to Hamas and soon after Hamas launched thousands of missiles into Israel. 1+1 always equal 2.

Well would you look at that, Shammy and Bob swarming all over Horlicks typo like a fat kid on a cup cake and I mean fair play, it's not like Iran and Iraq are spelt similarly as well as being in the same part of the world now, is it? I look forward to the next typo from either of you...

The Obama Administration gave Iran their own money back, oil revenues that had been frozen as part of a sanctions regime, on agreement to the JCPOA. I believe the money was delivered in cash.
Nothing like the grubby Iran - Contra affair where the Reagan Administration sold arms to Iran to fund right wing terrorist groups in Nicaragua. Reagan in his mea culpa: “A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions tell me that's true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not.” |

Allowing someone to have their own money is not “giving” them money. Try again Bob.

Shammy is keeping his options open. Even if it is down to him, Qevin McCarthy and the dance band, he has his life jacket and is ready to jump.
