1. Give your sources about Soros, a 14 year old Jew who was hiding in a Christian family, paid off by his dad to harbor him, to escape the Nazis. I know a lot about that story. I have teachers whose families were also the same and historically it is the story of my family and people with the Christians who alternately shot and killed us and rescued us depending upon their ego needs. The Swiss have a very checkered history here with First Nations (Indian) peoples. It would be easy to group stereotype them as predators according to your definition. They came with the marauders to Jamestown and were not particularly moral but were particularly venal and ignorant. They have been here from the first invasion and the only things that's saved them is the benign image of chocolate which they stole from us. I can be just as prejudiced, bigoted and stereotypical as you. We do not have a good history with the Swiss.
2. You missed the point completely about the "reality show". Reality shows are cheap shows with no actor salaries invented for the stock market. They are anti-Art and create vulgar culture. But that wasn't what I was talking about and you either know that or your English isn't very good. 3. Wealthy people have property. Apparatchics had no property and had only a pension upon retirement. They also lost their connections. I see no comparison at all except as technocrats they were paid better than others and had perks. But you can't call them wealthy. They were affluent by not propertied. That's the definition of wealth in English. They weren't wealthy but they were certainly better educated and spoke English as well as any other non-European country and better than most. The Russians who have immigrated here have proven that to my satisfaction. They were not particularly high in the culture but they come here and are cultured, educated, family driven, cooperate with each other and don't fit the Cold War Stereotypes at all. 4. Did the Swiss ever return those Gypsy Children they stole from their families? Should I stereotype all Swiss this way because of you and your comments which I consider border on slander? I don't like talking the way I did above. It's impolite and stereotypical of a complicated culture. But if I assume your character, as a role in a play, this is the way you appear to me. Putting myself in another person's shoes is a foundational part of my culture. When I assume the shoes of the person writing these posts to me, it does not feel balanced somehow. You should think about that.

You may also ask why the Jewish community of Zurich (the largest in Switzerland) asked the Swiss government to reject Jewish refugees at the border. (The zionists wanted them to go to Palestine or to hell.) Today they accuse the Swiss for rejecting these refugees in WW2. And you may ask why Soros and his daddy helped the nazis to get hold of Hungarian Jews. Perhaps it IS a predator story after all? Or else you have to provide a "better" explanation. > Have you watched these crime reality shows with the families of mobsters. > They are surrounded with possibilities but the minds are so destroyed that > the wealth is a joke.

But of course the "reality shows" are about Predators -- "by and for" Predators. The Predators who make these shows know that stupid TV-watchers will copy the sick behavior these shows "teach", and the results will yield profits for Predators. The Predators are not stupid, but those who follow them are. Predators are often darn clever in instrumentalizing and exploiting people -- that's how Predators "earn" a living... > My old diction teacher Dorothy Uris went to Russia to lecture on poetic > diction.

They executed one set of rich folks to replace them with another set of rich folks -- apparatchiks and now oligarchs (which often are the same people -- what a coincidence!). Did you know that the "Russian revolution" was funded by NYC bankers? Both of them, to be exact...
