This week’s video postcard comes from Berlin. I was staying an hour outside the City for a wedding and today came into town. I spent a good couple of hours at the City’s Jewish Museum, more on that later. But the first point of call was Checkpoint Charlie.
The picture of what remains of Charlie is below. As you can see it is now a tourist mecca surrounded by all the symbols of Western capitalism at its trashiest.
Nearby is a small segment of what remains of the Berlin Wall.
The video is a tribute to Lady Thatcher and a look back at the Cold War. Why she (and Reagan) were so brave and why the left just got it so horribly wrong.
Approximate Running Time 7 minutes
My financial video postcard (Margaret Thatcher Berlin tribute edition) will appear tomorrow on www.shareprophets.com
