One of the most famous sex offenders in history
Consider this; one of the most significant pictures in our nation’s history is evidence of a sexual battery.
Earlier this month, Greta Zimmer Friedman died.
Who you ask is Greta Zimmer Friedman? She’s the nurse in the iconic picture taken over seventy years ago of a sailor kissing a nurse in the middle of Times Square that appeared on the cover of Life Magazine at the end of World War II. She is also the victim of a sexual battery that was captured on film and re victimized millions of times over the year through the dissemination of images of her being abused.
Well that depends how you look at it… roll back the clock 71 years and sailor George Mendonsa was in times square celebrating the Japanese surrender and as he explained it, “the excitement of the war bein’ over, plus I had a few drinks, so when I saw the nurse I grabbed her, and I kissed her.”
This story that appeared in townhall.com points out that the same event would be perceived much differently today than it was back then. “If a man were to do that to a woman today, he would likely be charged with sexual assault, found guilty, be ordered to pay a serious sum of money to the woman, be sent to prison, be civilly sued and be labeled a sex offender — effectively ruining much of his life.”
The article asks; ‘did the famous sailor sexually assault the famous nurse?”
In today’s world, yes.

When TPTB realized how much money they could make on jails and prisons, it was no longer about “right” or “wrong.” The second they figure out how to profit from suffering, they make a law to create more suffering. They’ve been doing it for millennia. They are “the great satan” that other countries already know about.
