A Tribute to Karl Marx and Lise Meitner

Karl and Jenny Marx (nee Von Westphalen)

Jesus Christ is not responsible for Tomás de Torquemada. Karl Marx is not responsible for Iosef Jughashvili. The Vienna born woman scientist Lise Meitner, who first split the atom, is not responsible for the nuclear bombs, not even Otto Hahn who stole her science and got the Nobel. Moses de León’s poetry collected in Zohar is not responsible for the Sabbatian orgies or the fascist cults of Chassidim. John Adams is not responsible for the credit default swaps. Ideas treated as a tool for enslavement, murder and impoverishment by the selfish goons of history will outlive the abuse. So are the names of the heroes.
