Re: Holland to slash stipends of Holocaust survivors living in settlements

Cory Ten Boom presented a picture of how the Dutch helped their Jewish population; I spoke to an acquaintance from the Netherlands; I said that the Jewish people owe the Dutch a sense of gratitude for how many lives they saved during World War Two; he said that I did not know the whole story; obviously he was right.

It was the Danish, the Swedish and the Norwegians who tried to protect their Jewish populations; not the Dutch, who only started to resist with the Dutch underground in 1945; I was brought up in an area where I thought that all Dutch people had a good sense of ethics, and that they respected their Jewish neighbors--Roger Plafkin-Plafkin Farms, Ada, Michigan

If David Rosen would like to start a program here on the farm between Ada and Cascade, similar to Ox Bow, or any other program that he would like to achieve, we certainly would try to work with him; if a person is creative in the arts, music, theater, and things related to these endeavors, they should be encouraged to remain here in the local community.--Roger Plafkin-Plafkin Farms, Ada, Michigan

It is too bad to see David Rosen leave Kendall Art School after contributing so much energy and optimisim to the program; he injected hope that finally Kendall Art School could be brought up to its true potential.--Roger Plafkin-Plafkin Farms, Ada, Michigan

When Adolph Hitler decided to kill the Jews, if you had a relative generations back who happened to be Jewish; however, even if you were not aware of that relative, you still qualified for the gas chambers. To see how a Jewish family has been treated in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Read: www.grandrapidsboltandnutco...--click on Properties, Cascade, Westminster, Idema, Stoppels, Murkowski, Vandermeulen, Michigan National Bank, Barrows, Brenner, Dixie, Weathers, Pinsky, Hanenburg, WNJ(Warner, Norcross and Judd), Wege, DeVos, Van Andel, Deeb, Celia, Jerusalem, and any others which you may have time for.

Re: Food Network Gossip: All Restaurant Impossible Updates - How Many are Open Vs Closed?

What Mr. Irvine does is to give hope to families whose livelyhood depends on the success of the restaurant; he gives families a fresh start, and a future to look forward to; unlike the destruction of assets which belonged to our family by the Kent County Michigan Circuit and Probate Courts-Judge John Vanderwal, Judge Dale Stoppels, Judge David Murkowski, Judge George Boucher, James M MacLachlan,RW Baird, Chris Worfel, Michigan National Bank, William Nichols, Penn Mutual. Joseph Arsolowitz, attorney, Ronald Goodyke, Cascade Twp Clerk, Robert Buchanan, attorney, Neil Weathers, attorney--all of these people collaborated to take assets from our family; I was 37 years of age when this began--I will be 82 years of age on June 28.

If the Arab countries are looting the wealth of the United States, then we can restore that wealth by owning the assets that are necessary to create energy. It should be stressed that if farmers have wind turbines and solar panels on their farms, and the production of electricity goes back to the grid, they will receive an income "Forever". This is the same as having an oil well on their land, only they do not have to drill down 35,000 ft to the ocean floor to produce this energy. A windfall tax on the large oil companies could be used to implement a policy of installing alternative methods of creating energy on all farms across America. We are behind Germany, Ireland, Denmark, Spain, Israel, and so many other countries because this administration has been tied to the oil companies. Also, Congress must have the courage to disassociate itself from the oil lobbyists, and do something for the benefit of the American people. Pouring money into new facilities overseas, will not solve our problems in the United States;it only exacerbates and demoralizes what we are already experiencing. If foreign countries keep buying our hard assets and taking control over what took generations to build, while at the same time we take our resources and tax money and throw it away as we are now doing in Iraq, then is it any wonder that there is such a feeling of dispair in the U.S.

Dr. Zubrin might have mentioned that if the Arab Nations were actually concerned about one another, they would not have left their own to remain in refugee camps for 40 years. The resources have always been there to create a better life for the Palestinians by using the oil money of the various Arab countries;the inclination has not been there;they would prefer to create a problem for the Israelis, and provoke confrontation. Again, this goes back to their long history of supporting Nazism and the policies of Adolph Hitler.
