WJC President Ronald S. Lauder demands MSNBC retract false characterization of Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
Thu, 14 Feb 2019
NEW YORK - World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder responded Thursday to a television news report that referred to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising - in which Jewish resistance fighters fought the German Nazis on the eve of the ghetto’s liquidation – as a revolt against Poles and Nazis.
“It was brought to my attention that a broadcast from Warsaw on MSNBC has depicted the revolt in the Warsaw Ghetto as having been fought against ‘the Polish and Nazi regimes’. The World Jewish Congress demands that NBC and MSNBC issue an immediate retraction for this false characterization. The Warsaw Ghetto was a diabolical creation of Nazi Germany in occupied Poland. The Jewish insurgents who rose up fought against Germans. This incident serves as a painful reminder that all of us must redouble our efforts in the field of Holocaust education.”

>former head of the Federal Reserve,Alan Greenspan
GREENSPAN NOMINATED AS FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN
"Clearly wise leadership from the Fed has played a very large role in our strong economy. That is why today I am pleased to announce my decision to renominate Alan Greenspan as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. For the past 12 years chairman Greenspan has guided the Federal Reserve with a rare combination of technical expertise, sophisticated analysis, and old fashioned common sense."
SUPER CAPTION: Bill Clinton, US President
This would be 73-year old Greenspan's fourth term as Fed chairman.
He was originally chosen as the Federal Reserve chairman in 1987 by former U-S President Ronald Reagan.
His monetary policy has won praise from Clinton administration officials.
Greenspan responded to Clinton's announcement with a brief statement, crediting his colleagues with much of the Fed's success.
Greenspan said his job was a rare challenge for an economist.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"It's a type of activity which forces economists like ourselves to be acutely aware of the fact that our actions have consequences. And it's crucially important for us to try to determine in advance what those consequences are and that is a challenge which I must say to you – as I said to the president before - is like eating peanuts. You keep doing it, keep doing it and you never get tired. Of course the future is always ultimately unknowable."
SUPER CAPTION: Alan Greenspan, U-S Federal Reserve Chairman
Greenspan will most likely see an easy confirmation by the Senate.
Pointing to his handling of interests rates, analysts credit Greenspan with the continued unprecedented economic growth in the U-S.
He has managed to keep inflation from killing off the longest post-recession recovery in modern times.
Greenspan was a staunch backer of legislation that Congress passed last year eliminating barriers that separated banks, investment firms and insurance companies for more than 60 years.
He said he thought passage of the law would be a boon for consumers, offering them greater choices.
But Greenspan also warned that financial regulators at the federal and state level will have to cooperate more closely and be especially alert to deal with "tensions" created by overlapping jurisdictions.
Before joining the Federal reserve in 1987, Greenspan chaired the Council of Economic Advisers under President Ford from 1974 to 1977.
He also chaired the National Commission on Social Security Reform, which recommended major changes to keep the retirement system solvent in 1983.
He was re-appointed by both Presidents Bush and Clinton.
