One Hundred Years On

[LisaDavidson]

I recalled the murder of those poor Norwegian children was close to the anniversary of the Imperial Family's murder. Losing children strips us of our future. Surely Russia would have been better off with Nicholas' children alive, just as Norway would have been better off with their children alive!

The murder of children is horrible.

The last couple of years there's been an outbreak of measles in Europe. Another Romanov coincidence. The  100th anniversary from when OTMAA caught it and lost their chance to escape and live. Once again its wreaking havoc.

Are children not being vaccinated?

[GDSophie]

Nope, because the internet and some terrible organisations are preaching that vaccinations cause autism and other stuff, which is a complete, utter lie.

I recently read an article about the problem in a scientific journal, in which the internet was described as a "Pandora's Box" as most parents are unable to assess whether or not the information they find there is factually correct, with the result that many believe they are doing their children a favour by refusing to have them vaccinated. Seemingly a baby in the UK recently died from measles, which is the first measles-related death in the UK for over ten years....

[TimM]

Hard to believe people can still die from this, when it's easily preventable.

The hundred year mark felt like a circle maybe elliptical where OTMA seemed closer, more right there, like it came around. Now that the century mark since their murder has slipped away, I wonder if those girls may start to fade in the distance or is it those deer in the headlights photos that will always keep them immediate. It seems their murder was the one murder that plunged poor Russia into a 100 year dark ages. Like how Jesus' crucifixion was the one crucifixion of lasting significance. Now at the Century mark, what will happen? Dark ages for the rest of us is what it feels like is what is happening though I hope not.

As long as sites like this exist, none of them will be forgotten.

Personally, I knew the imperial family by his assassination, but I did not become one of his fervent admirers for that. I do not think, it will be forgotten.

Keep the memory alive.
