    add to the list of parallels to Germany in the 30’s: (1) RFK implementing our own version of Aktion 74 (nazis ''forced euthanasia" of ‘undesirables’ including the disabled and sickly; the US version simply removes healthcare and obfuscates medical science). (2) The German ‘Law of preventing overcrowding of universities’ which sought to remove all undesirables from the higher education system - focused on Jewish people but also foreigners in general, and removal of those not party-aligned; The US version is starting by banning Harvard from enrolling foreign students and forcing schools to make lists of ‘suspect’ students, mainly Chinese students and pro-Palestine students
