Pro-Russian official denies involvement in notice telling Jews to register, aide says
A spokesman for a pro-Russian official whose name was on flyers telling Jews in one restive Ukrainian city to register denied that their organization had any role in the leaflets — and accused pro-Ukrainian groups of orchestrating the controversy.
The leaflets were first reported in Israel’s Ynet News. The news site said the notices were circulating in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, demanding that Jews register — as well as provide a list of property they own — or else face deportation and revocation of citizenship. Pro-Russian activists have asserted partial control over some government buildings in that city.
Ynet reported that the notices, sent as the Passover holiday began, were signed by Denis Pushilin, chairman of Donetsk’s temporary government.
But a spokesman for Pushilin told Fox News their organization denies being behind the flyers or distributing them. The spokesman accused pro-Ukrainian groups of circulating them as a false flag operation to cause an international incident. SOURCE
Of course I realize that there is a lot of denial in the original story, but wait just a doggone minute; haven’t we heard this story before, or read it in a World History class when we were still in school, in schools that actually taught history and not some brash political manifesto? Didn’t Adolf Hitler and the NAZIs deny that THEY were Jew haters too?
That’s right, I remember now, it was the NAZI government demanding Jews register, and it wasn’t too long afterwards the registration didn’t matter. The Jews were hauled away to death camps and concentration/work camps because in spite of all the denials, the NAZI Party was rife with anti Semitism.
Is this about to happen again or are we being fed a line of propaganda? Are we willing to sit idly by and let another Holocaust happen in this day and time?
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me. ~Martin Niemöller~
Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) was a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.
Some of us ARE watching, some of us ARE speaking out, but given the great number of apathetic people in the USA, and the nature of our elected government, we still can’t get a definitive answer about Benghazi, the IRS scandal, Operation Fast and Furious, and any number of other illegal acts that have been committed under the regime of Barack Hussein Obama.
Remember Obama’s message for Putin:
(Reuters) - President Barack Obama was caught on camera on Monday assuring outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he will have “more flexibility” to deal with contentious issues like missile defense after the U.S. presidential election.
Obama, during talks in Seoul, urged Moscow to give him “space” until after the November ballot, and Medvedev said he would relay the message to incoming Russian president Vladimir Putin. SOURCE
Need I say more?
Edit to Add - Early this morning I found these links:
Ukraine’s ‘Jew Register’ Either a Hoax or a Crude Extortion Scheme
Demands That Jews Register in Eastern Ukraine Are Denounced, and Denied
OK, so maybe it’s a hoax, or a sick prank, or an extortion scheme gone wrong, those are all possibilities, but suppose it was real, then what?
Antisemitism in Europe remains extremely high. I have mentioned it fairly often of late. I cannot say I was surprised by this — hoax or not.
I would like to be able to say that the world will not allow a repeat of the Holocaust, but, frankly, I think we would. I am afraid we cherish life far less now than we did in the 1930′s. Especially someone else’s life.
God help us!

It’s a cliche that history repeats itself…but it does and this event, if nothing else, reminds us of how much anti-Semitism exists throughout Europe’s East and West, and of course in Russia.
For myself, I am just waiting for the Israelis to blow up the Iranian nuclear facilities. They have learned the lessons of history.
It started in 1933 when Hitler came to power - NEVER AGAIN I think I heard in 1945. This should spark worldwide outrage. Speak Mr. President, that is what you do best.
Iam not Jewish either, however that should be irrelevant. Note that all Christians and Muslim’s came from the Jews-just changed our believe system in 622 AD.
As horrific as this is, if true, Christians are being not told to register, but murdered in cold blood on a daily basis in many parts of the world. Where pray tell is the outrage? Particularly Syria, where dear leader drew the redline.
I can think of very little that I find scarier than this notion of registering jews as a possibility. I truly hope it is a hoax or prank. But if not, then this is as serious as it gets. Jews will be in trouble, and with one of the biggest muslim loving, anti-semite in the whitehouse, there will be little help from the U.S.
I will say that any jews that voted for and love obama, this should be a wake up call. Their vote for obama was tantamount to jews who voted for hitler.
And for anyone that thinks registration of jews is where it will end, they are sadly blind and ignorant of history. This is the exact reason there is a 2nd amendment here, and should be in all lands. So that this type of nonsense does not happen, at least without a brutal fight and blood spilled on both sides.
I will be curious, if this is real, what our BO (body odor) in the whitehouse will do about it. Will he draw a red line in the sand? We all saw his treatment of Netanyahu at the whitehouse, and we all know he hates jews, so what will he do? A war with russia would be devastating to us. We have not the manpower, the money, or the stomach to do the fighting that would need to be done. What sanctions will obama send putin’s way this time?
If there was ever a time we needed a regime change, it is now. I know we keep saying if we lose the next election, we are in trouble, and we keep losing and keep backing up into the corner. But I fear that we have been backing up so much now, that are backs are truly against the wall, and our enemies are watching closely, and our next two elections will determine if America is restored (to a small degree) or it will be over.
I will say that following the politics and the way it has been going is saddening, and I am finding it harder and harder to stomach. I will say this, if we lose the next two elections, I will have to stop. A man can only take so much. I think I will simply stop reading, and stop caring, and ignore what happens. Keep my powder dry, and if called upon, do what needs to be done. But as of now, hoping our govt does the right thing, hoping Americans as a majority start to understand what is really happening, and hoping our electoral process can correct what has happened, is too much, and is not unlike hoping to win the lottery….twice. 2016 will prove that the American experiment was a success or a failure. History has taught us that democracies always kill themselves, and America is no exception to the rule.
True or not, it saddens me to think that there are a whole group of people who think we can co-exist with muslims. Putin, as far as I can determine, is no friend to the Islamist, whose goal is total world domination. Nowhere in the stories coming out of that region is there any mention of who is muslim and who is pro Russia. It would make sense that a whole group would be anti-semites if they were muslim. That said, non muslims are being murdered all over the middle east. Silence on that. I think we are treading down a path that was blazed before.
“Path blazed before?” How about graves dug before? Lost old dog yesterday, went out to bury. Oops hole I dug I hit bones! I’ve buried two old dogs, last about six years ago, well ’til today. Then again there are the bones of Stevie the goat and Packer the horse I’ve buried. And what about what granddaddy may have buried? Then again family said granddaddy left with his gold for New Orleans in 1880 something or another.
Daddy bought a world war 2 metal detector and scanned. If granddaddy buried hereabouts, it was without his gold in his pocket.
