As a young journalist at Sky News I interviewed Jacques Attali. It was the early 1990s. Of course, they sent a young fool (me) who was totally unprepared to see what this man was.

I wonder about the coincidence of Paul Singer riding to the "rescue" in that Argentinian financial fiasco?

Don't feel too bad about Twitter banning you. Hopefully it will drive others to leave on their own. I don't use Twitter. I don't understand why thinking people spend any time on it. Looking forward now to reading the full text of your postings here. Thank you for your work.

I call Harari Harakiri. I see His Holiness Harari, this secular Dalai Lama of Jerusalem, as a genius. What's more, the extraordinarily intelligent man made himself intellectually unassailable; after all, how dare anyone, today, contradict an Israeli-Jewish fragile-looking homosexually-married best-selling-author doctor of philosophy via Jesus College of Oxford?! One may be tempted to quote from Hölderlin's ADVOCATUS DIABOLI:

Deep in my heart I abhor the nexus of rulers and clerics,

Yet more deeply I loathe genius in league with that gang.

("Tief im Herzen haß ich den Troß der Despoten und Pfaffen

Aber noch mehr das Genie, macht es gemein sich damit.")
