So proud of my daughter Catherine's reflections on Marcel Ophuls' "Memory of Justice." I was present 45 yrs ago when Ophuls' interviewed my father @DanielEllsberg. Catherine carries on the conversation about complicity and moral responsibility. brightwalldarkroom.com/2020/… via @bwdr

Cant’t wait! @DanielEllsberg
We're publishing an incredibly special & important essay tomorrow by Catherine Ellsberg, granddaughter of Daniel Ellsberg, on the rarely seen Marcel Ophuls documentary, THE MEMORY OF JUSTICE, which Ophuls considers his very best film. And we sincerely hope you'll give it a read.

Since the theme is the greedy globalists who control the levers of power and wealth, you know from the start that he is going to get to The Jew. Watch for it at 2:05 right before the pile of cash.

When he was a child he talked and thought and reasoned like a child, but when he graduated from the academy it was time to put away childish ways and think like a master. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

When the master’s daughter had bad news to impart—such as having run over another peasant and damaged the carriage—she would write him a letter and leave it by the hearth, knowing he would use it to kindle his fire: a trick she’d learned from his majordomo. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

In the master’s famed apprentice program dozens of young members of the lower gentry vied for the chance to learn his secrets and, who knows—if it didn’t work out with his own children—to become his heir. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Tho the master had told his wife never to ask about his business, he said that this one time he would answer her. “Is it true that you reported my parents to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?” “I don’t know about that,” he said. “You’ll have to ask my lawyer.#TolstoysTalesofTrump
