CO is a 9/11 truther and conspiracy junkie. Many of them think the Jews had something to do with 9/11 while others think it was an inside job. CO even believes whatever he wants in personal things. You tell him one thing and you have to blink several times and read through the leaps he makes in response a couple times. It's even been that way with stuff you tell him about yourself. I've had to explain that I never admitted or said such things a few times.

Yea, that would be a real hard read, I would have to pass on that.. I have some audio books on ww2/German build up & leading up to it, but it skims over that.. I had a prof in NYC that had a camp tattoo on her arm, she never talked about it w/ students & I didn't have the heart to ask her.......
I also had family that were in camps here in Manzanar & Arkansas & they were very fortunate that a neighbor (not Japanese) took care of their land & property taxes while they were there.. Most lost almost everything, the state/county gave them no break & seized the land for lack of payment..
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

He has constantly done that to me also over the years -- accused me of various nefarious and fictional things conjured from who-knows-where. But in all fairness, I must say that he has been going through some difficult physical and emotional things that necessitate medication and surgery, and that stuff can definitely alter your perceptions and memory. This is not to excuse him or anyone else for promoting the Holocaust-is-a-Myth thing, of course. Nor does it excuse personal attacks. It's more of an explanation. Take it as you will.
"Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals." -- Mark Twain
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
