      He commented the other day it is about yuppiesbut several of the aliens are older. The most intriguing is the older woman in the fur coat on the story Piper bumps intoshe has a distinct New York accent for someone in Los Angeles.
      There's also the nepotism of the alien and the humanwith one being easily promoted but not the other. That has nothing to do with Reaganomics.
      Clever of him to disguise the point as he didI can only assume in 1988 discussions of jewish power was so outside the media sphere that it was unlikely to be discovered as suchunlike today.
      Fact is, I never even thought about this issue until supporters of Clinton compared Trump to Hitler and accused him of anti-jewish ad campaigns.
      When you say Trump is guilty of anti-semitism because he had an ad which said Clinton was meeting in secret with international bankers, then you are saying that jews control the banks. Thus you draw attention to that which you previously had tried to avoid.
