I see nothing is new under the sun concerning the rotting Russian Compound in the dark heart of Jerusalem. That's where the Bolsheviks imprisoned me before my unjust deportation, and our former Consul General Edward Abington, Jr. shamefully turned a blind eye to the politico-religious persecution against a fellow American, since he's bought and paid for by the PLO - was then and now, so it appears.
