Dear Reader,

Hello from Benoa in Bali.

Yes I’m on holidays with my family. I had previously intended to take a week off writing Fat Tail Daily.

But what happened on Saturday afternoon in the US was too momentous an occasion to let it slide.

The attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania was the shot heard around the world.

Within weeks after their surrender, the Nazis had vanished from German history. Most people said they were always against them...and only put on uniforms, or otherwise supported the war effort, because they had to. 

Likewise, in France, after a short period of score settling and collaborator-shaming, visitors discovered that almost everyone had been a member of the French resistance — apparently, the whole population had been bravely fighting the German usurpers. 

And so it was that yesterday, France’s national holiday, the flags unfurled and the ‘anciens combattants’ assembled in our little village to honour the local heroes of the resistance, 1940-1945.
