I'm going to be putting one up for the rest of the day, readers:
"For most of Germany, Nov. 9 is a day to celebrate not just the opening of the wall but what came after: integration of East and West and the rise of a united and prosperous Germany that now helps lead Europe. But for some Germans it also summons memories of the East Germany that was a state of informers and suspicions, public rigidity and private despair — more"
It was, looking back on it now from this vantage point, the beginning of WWIII.

Not that it is relevant, but his credibility is gone, and I'm sick of the self-serving sob song:

"Swastikas deface fliers at Northeastern University" by Laura Crimaldi | Globe Staff November 08, 2014
Police at Northeastern University have launched an investigation after swastikas were drawn on two fliers posted on campus to publicize a lecture this week by an Israeli military official.
Northeastern president Joseph E. Aoun condemned the incident in an e-mail to students, faculty, administrators, staff, and others, calling it “completely unacceptable and an affront to our entire community and the values of our university.”
“Let there be no doubt: We have absolutely no tolerance for anti-Semitism, prejudice, and hate crimes of any kind, including this incident,” Aoun wrote.
The e-mail was sent Friday at 11:53 p.m. with the subject line “An affront to our community.”
The vandalized fliers were displayed in Dockser Hall and promoted an event featuring Eran Shamir-Borer, an Israel Defense Forces lieutenant colonel who is scheduled to speak Monday night at the School of Law.
The event is hosted by two student organizations at the law school that support Israel: the Alliance for Israel at Northeastern and the School of Law’s chapter of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law.
I smell a self-inflicted false-flag rat.
A statement from the alliance and the Jewish Law Student Association said the lecture is expected to take place as scheduled.
Shamir-Borer is a presenter for Our Soldiers Speak, a nonprofit organization that presents lectures by reservists or active officers with the Israel Defense Forces, according to the group’s website.
Sergeant Benjamin Anthony, founder of the speaker series and a reservist with the Israel Defense Forces, said this type of vandalism has occurred at previous events. Speakers also frequently encounter hecklers on college campuses, he said.
Anthony said allegations that Israeli soldiers today act the same way that Nazis did toward Jews are based in hatred.
“That’s not free speech. That’s hate speech,” he said.
Even if it is true.
Rudy Breteler, a law student and member of the Alliance for Israel and the Jewish Law Student Association, said be believes everyone “should be alarmed by a hate symbol that symbolizes oppression of all nonwhite Christians.”
“It’s absolutely horrifying,” he said. “We did not expect something like this.”
Kenneth L. Marcus, president and general counsel for the Louis D. Brandeis Center in Washington, D.C., said it is ironic that campus groups combatting anti-Semitism were subjected to an anti-Semitic act of vandalism.
Yeah, how "ironic."
The nonprofit center seeks to advance the “civil and human rights of the Jewish people” and tackle the “resurgence of anti-Semitism” on university and college campuses, according to its website.
By helping to create it?
The organization was established in 2011 and has chapters at law schools nationwide, Marcus said.
This is the first time fliers publicizing an event associated with the center have been vandalized, he said.
“We’ve never had this sort of problem before,” Marcus said Saturday. “It’s something we usually see at undergraduate campuses. It’s disturbing to see it affecting the law schools as well.”
Aoun said university police have evidence and are “actively investigating.”
Good. Then they will likely find it to be another self-inflicted false flag.
Marcus praised Northeastern’s response. He said he recently traveled to the campus to meet with members of the Brandeis center’s Northeastern chapter, which was established in the spring.
“We haven’t always been pleased with the way Northeastern responds to anti-Semitic incidents, but in this particular case we are very pleased,” Marcus said.
What unbelievable ungratefuls given this likely agenda-pushing fraud.
In 2012, two Northeastern students confessed to damaging a decorative menorah, a candelabrum used for Jewish worship during Hanukkah, according to Globe coverage of the incident.
Marcus said there have also been allegations about two or three professors making anti-Israel comments that were perceived as anti-Semitic, and concerns about vandalism to a statute of alumnus Robert J. Shillman.
Oh. That's why we get this staged and scripted play for sympathy as Israel's image is in the Al Qaeda.
What did they do, say something about Gaza?

Who is against free speech again?
“Our sense has been the situation has been getting much better recently,” Marcus said. “This particular incident looks ugly, but the administration's response is strong.”
On campus, many students said they were not aware of the incident. Several who said they knew about the vandalism declined to comment.
There is also the possibility that it never even happened. Seen a lot of that in then "news" these days.
Joseph Ruane, 20, who is studying computer science at Northeastern, called the vandalism shocking.
“I thought we were more tolerant here,” he said. “They are a guest and we should show them respect. I don’t care what their stance is.”
Unless it's someone like Ahmadinejad, remember?

On a memory-filled date, the fall of the Berlin Wall stands front and center
It was on Nov. 9, in 1918, that Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated, “after four terrible years” of World War I. In 1923, it was the date of Hitler’s failed march on the Munich Festhalle. In 1938, she said, it was when the Nazis set fire to synagogues, plundered Jewish homes and businesses, and detained and killed thousands of Jews — “the start of the killing of millions” in the catastrophe of the Holocaust.
Only in 1989, after Europeans across the Soviet bloc were rising up against Communism, did Nov. 9 become a date of joy with the wall falling.
