52. Bill Moyers' World of Ideas: Facing Evil
Sat Jun 29, 2019, 10:27 PM
Jun 2019

If you have not seen this documentary, watch it!!! This post shook me because of what Raul Hilberg says in that documentary at a conference on evil. Raul Hilberg, author of The Destruction of the European Jew, has long been considered one of the world's leading authoritioes on the Holocaust. Here's a transcript: Facing Evil

In this documentary, Hilberg discusses who perpetrated the Holocaust:



I’ve always believed it was a vast bureaucracy. One cannot destroy a people; it’s not possible without employing all the institutions that a society has...

But who were these initiators, these innovators, these bureaucrats? They were very well-educated. Let me give just three groups: the lawyers, the soldiers, and the physicians...

Oh, yes, who did it? The professionals. Did they know what they were doing? Of course. They thought about it.


Look who's mentioned above on the board:

1. Military – Former Chief of Staff, John Kelly, - Military
2. Lawyer - Richard L. Armitage, former U.S. deputy secretary of state
3. Bureaucrat - Michael Corbin; former ambassador to the United Arab Emirates
4. Military - Michael V. Hayden, former director of the CIA and of the NSA
5. Science - Donald M. Kerr Jr., former deputy director of science & tech. at the CIA
6. Military - Anthony C. Zinni, former commander-in-chief of the U.S. Central Command and former U.S. Envoy to the Middle East
7. Military - Stephen F. Loftus, former director of the Office of the Budget for the US Navy.
8. Health – Comprehencive Health Services

These are professionals purposefully and deliberately weaponizing our institutions.
