Eric MargolisSun, November 4, 2007 Bear the guilt Time to hear an apology for the Great Terror in the Soviet Union By ERIC MARGOLIS, TORONTO SUN This seems to be historic guilt month. Germany just opened a new memorial to Jewish victims of Nazi persecution. Armenians demand Turkey admit Ottoman-era massacres were genocide. Japan is being blasted anew for denying wartime atrocities. Yet the greatest crime in modern history, and bloodiest genocide, have almost vanished from our collective memory. Last week marked the 70th anniversary of the Great Terror in the Soviet Union in which tens of millions were murdered or imprisoned. Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, at least ...
Country's great heroes were hunters

VETERANS DAY IS the time to remember and honor the men and women who have served this country in all of our wars and also peacetime. This fall I thought it would be appropriate to note that two of this country's greatest military heroes were both hunters and remarkable marksmen. Audie Murphy grew up on a small, impoverished farm in northeast Texas. And in his autobiography, "To Hell and Back," Murphy related how he helped feed his family by shooting rabbits and squirrels with a beat-up old .22-caliber rifle. Those shooting skills he honed as a young boy were brought to fruition in World War II, where he became the most decorated soldier in American military history. ...
Thanksgiving Hypocrisy

Thanksgiving Hypocrisy - by Stephen Lendman In the US, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November to give thanks for the year's blessings and bounty. At least that's how it began. It's not, however, the current practice. Most people defile the day's spirit in how they spend it over a full four day holiday weekend - with overindulgent eating, parades, "can't miss" football from Thursday through Sunday, and, key for merchants, the "official" start of the Christmas holiday shopping season. It begins Thanksgiving Friday, is now an orgy of holiday consumerism, continues through Christmas eve, ebbs for a day, then builds again for a ...

Chocolate began as beer-like brew 3,100 years ago Mon Nov 12, 2007 6:26pm EST By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The chocolate enjoyed around the world today had its origins at least 3,100 years ago in Central America not as the sweet treat people now crave but as a celebratory beer-like beverage and status symbol, scientists said on Monday. Researchers identified residue of a chemical compound that comes exclusively from the cacao plant -- the source of chocolate -- in pottery vessels dating from about 1100 BC in Puerto Escondido, Honduras. This pushed back by at least 500 years the earliest documented use of cacao, an important luxury commodity in Mesoamerica before European ...
There Are Too Many Veterans [Full Thread]

We have too many veterans. We have too many living veterans. We have too many dead veterans. We have too many wounded veterans. We have too many disabled veterans. We have too many veterans who have fought in wars. We have too many veterans who have never fired a shot. Any way you look at it, we have too many veterans. Veterans Day began as Armistice Day – a day to commemorate the signing of the armistice on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month that ended fighting on the Western Front in World War I, "the war to end all wars." A few years after World War II, the holiday was changed to Veterans Day as a tribute to all soldiers who fought for their country. Veterans ...

In April 1999 Professor Trinkaus of Washington University announced that fossil finds in Portugal some 25,000 years old proved conclusively that Neanderthal man and Cro-Magnon man had interbred. That of course had long been obvious to anyone with eyes in his head—‘you can observe Neanderthal at any public gathering’ as Oswald Spengler remarked. But now it is official. What the scientific establishment had for so long implacably denied is true—we are a hybrid species. We are not simply the descendant of Cro-Magnon man. But now too we have to accept and face the massive consequences of this situation. Or to put matters more positively, we now have the answers to the ...

By MARCIN ZOLTOWSKI, Associated Press WriterFri Nov 9, 6:32 PM ET Poland began a two-day ceremony Friday to mark a bitter moment in its past, giving posthumous promotions to 14,000 Polish officers who were captured early in World War II and then murdered by the Soviet secret police. President Lech Kaczynski honored slain members of the army and police as well as border and prison guards at an open-air remembrance of the 1940 killings in the Katyn forest outside Smolensk, Russia, and at other places in the then-Soviet Union. Poland's red-and-white national flag was raised in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in downtown Warsaw and an army choir sang the national anthem. ...

November 8, 2007 Using the "Water Cure" in the Philippines Waterboarding in American History By WILLIAM LOREN KATZ Some high U.S. officials claim not be aware of it, and Judge Michael Mukasey, the President's choice for attorney general, prefers to equivocate, but water boarding has long been a form of torture that causes excruciating pain and can lead to death. It forces water into prisoner's lungs, usually over and over again. The Spanish Inquisition in the late 1400s used this torture to uncover and punish heretics, and then in the early 1500s Spain's inquisitors carried it overseas to root out heresy in the New World. It reappeared during the witch hysteria. ...

It is equally well known that the black-Jewish coalition foundered in the 1960s.

Otherwise Rockefeller would swing the election to Carter." Cleon Skousen spoke with Reagan at the convention, both before and after ...

I just had to visit FR to see how they were dealing with the latest news concerning Ron Paul, for old times sake. I had not visited in a very long time. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1921682/posts I knew the place had gone to ADL hell, but I was surprised to read the attacks on Kathleen Willey. The best thing is for the MSM to ignore this. Giving public exposure to a cash-strapped whacko needing to promote book sales and letting her rant with crazy foam-at-the-mouth conspiracy theories would actually help hitlery. This story reminds me of Rosie O'Donnell and the WTC-7 story. Make a wildly stupid statement and then watch while millions of idiots with absolutely no proof of ...
Marx's erupting skin may have influenced writings

LONDON (Reuters) - Karl Marx, who complained of excruciating boils, actually suffered from a chronic skin disease with known psychological effects that may well have influenced his writings, a British expert said on Tuesday. Sam Shuster, professor of dermatology at the University of East Anglia, believes the revolutionary thinker had hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in which the apocrine sweat glands -- found mainly in the armpits and groin -- become blocked and inflamed. "In addition to reducing his ability to work, which contributed to his depressing poverty, hidradenitis greatly reduced his self-esteem," said Shuster, who published his findings in the British Journal of ...

Muslim workers have unearthed artifacts on Jerusalem's Temple Mount, says an Israeli agency. The artifacts, which date to the First Jewish Temple period—the eighth to sixth centuries B.C.—were found by employees of the Waqf Muslim religious trust doing maintenance work, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) reported. The artifacts may be the first physical evidence of human activity at the Temple Mount—also known as Solomon's Temple—in that time. Religious leaders do not allow archaeological excavations on Temple Mount, one of the holiest sites for Judaism and Islam. The site, known to Jews and Christians as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble ...

"...If I understand the author correctly, he expects his New Jerusalem to become the world capital of the fusionists. Salvador, furthermore, seems to cherish the curious idea that the Jews ought first to turn Christians, so that they may be the better able to convert the Christians afterward to Judaism. This work is, in reality, not as new as Salvador thinks; it began eighteen hundred years ago. It seems, however, that the Judaism of which Salvador is thinking is as new as his Christianity. More reasonable are the attempts of those fusionists who, like my friend Hirsch, of Luxemburg, are utilizing freemasonry as a means to amalgamate all the historical cults into one. The Luxemburg ...

The Most Gruesome Multi-cult of All? Jim Jones and the Jonestown mass suicide. by Mark Richardson Almost everyone has heard of the charismatic cult leader Jim Jones, and the 1978 mass suicide to which he led his followers in the South American nation of Guyana. Far less well known is that Jones was an early proponent of the anti-white, racial diversity thinking that is now so widespread. Jim Jones was born in Indiana in 1931. He began preaching in his 20s, even though he had no formal religious training, and mixed religion and politics while still a young man. His views were radically politically correct, even by today’s standards, let alone those of the 1950s. His religious style ...

Who Still Believes in Integration? The results of our 30-year experiment are clear for all to see. by Samuel Taylor and Marian Evans In 1917 the Soviet Union set out to build a nation on a complete misreading of human nature: that people could be taught to live “from each according to his ability to each according to his need.” For decades the experiment staggered on despite the accumulation of mountains of evidence that human beings cannot be made to overcome self-interest. Long before the fateful experiment ground to a halt 70 years later, almost no one in the Soviet Union any longer believed that “Communism” was possible or even desirable. Some time during the 1950 ...

"It is something special and rare in Denmark to have so many (ancient Roman) graves in one place," archaeologist Rune Iversen was quoted as saying by the Roskilde Dagblad newspaper. The graveyard's exact location in Ishoej, southwest of downtown Copenhagen, was being kept secret until the archaeologists from the nearby Kroppedal Museum have completed their work, the ...

A veritable Russian terrorist organization had been set up at his expense. It covered Russia with its emissaries." This creation of terrorist formations by Jews within a country marked down for revolution, whether they be called Nihilists or as in France in 1789, "Sacred Bands," or "Marseillais"; or "Operatives," as in the Britain of Charles I, ...

The proposal was defeated, 10 to 4, with China, Egypt and the Phillipines abstaining. Voting for it with Russia were Yugoslavia, Byelo-Russia and the Ukraine. The United States, United Kingdom and France were among the countries voting against the proposal. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, United States delegate, objected that the Soviet proposal implied a legal obligation which would bring "even a slight infringement by an individual under criminal law." ...

Published: 12 October 2007 The story of the last century's first Holocaust – Winston Churchill used this very word about the Armenian genocide years before the Nazi murder of six million Jews – is well known, despite the refusal of modern-day Turkey to acknowledge the facts. Nor are the parallels with Nazi Germany's persecution of the Jews idle ones. Turkey's reign of terror against the Armenian people was an attempt to destroy the Armenian race. While the Turks spoke publicly of the need to "resettle" their Armenian population – as the Germans were to speak later of the Jews of Europe – the true intentions of Enver Pasha's Committee of Union ...
