“The most desperate cavalry charge I have ever witnessed.”
Via Carl
As Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman’s armies prepared to leave Atlanta and embark on their march to Savannah in early November 1864, a Federal captain wrote of the efforts to extinguish anything of military value to the South. He especially observed Federal engineers “detailed to destroy the depots and public buildings in Atlanta.”
Moving toward the city, Sherman’s forces tore up the rails of the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Since Sherman planned to break from his supply line and live off the land, he no longer needed the rails.
Along the W&A from Dalton to Atlanta, today’s I-75 corridor, any structure deemed of military value received the torch — like a large part of Marietta’s square, which burned on Nov. 13. Coining a phrase that he would repeat during the advance on Savannah, Sherman — while watching the buildings of Marietta burn — told one of his aides, “I never ordered burning of any dwelling – didn’t order this, but can’t be helped. I say Jeff. Davis burnt them.”

WHO urges sneeze protection while CDC retreats
While the Centers for Disease Control has removed from its website a warning that Ebola can be spread through sneezing, the World Health Organization has just issued new guidelines for health workers that specify protective equipment should be worn to protect the mouth, nose and eyes from contaminated droplets and fluids.
Meanwhile, Friday, the CDC website removed a “Fact Sheet” posted Thursday that stirred controversy by admitting after weeks of apparent denial that Ebola can be spread by coughing and sneezing.
The WHO said the Guidelines Development Group it convened included participation of a wide range of experts from international organizations, including the CDC, Doctors without Borders and the Infection Control Africa Network.

CNN Interviews Yazidi Girl Kidnapped and Raped by Islamic State Terrorists
A 19-year old Kurdish Yazidi girl who was kidnapped by the Islamic State recounted a harrowing tale of how IS members systematically enslave and rape young girls captured by the terrorist group.\
“They came to the village and said, you have to convert to Islam or we will kill you,” the girl, identifying herself as Jana, said.
Yazidis, who practice a syncretic religion tied to Zoarastrianism and ancient Mesopotamian religions, are considered “devil-worshippers” by IS fundamentalists.
Jana told CNN’s Ivan Watson that hundreds of girls were rounded up by IS members and taken to a three-story house in Mosul, Iraq, where they were offered as sex slaves for IS men.

CA: Parents Pull Son from Class Because School Is Teaching Islam
Via LH
Parents of a boy enrolled in Manhattan Beach Middle School are pulling their son out of class because the school is teaching children the tents of Islam, Los Angeles news station KTLA reports.
The father said, “The audacity of this school, to think that they can
sit these children down and teach ’em whatever religion they please;
it’s preposterous. This is illegal, basically. You can’t teach religion
in schools any more, but apparently, in this particular school, at
least, that’s not the case.”
Parents said they discovered that what their children were learning about Islam was more about the tenets of the faith than the history of the religion, according to KTLA. One question asked the students to write down teachings from the Koran.
The father continued, “What I saw written in these bubbles was, ‘The one true God, Allah’ in one of the bubbles. In one of the other bubbles was ‘All people must submit to Allah,’ in another bubble. The I turned the page over and I see the five pillars of Islam.”
The parents assert that the students should be taught the history behind the religions, whether it is Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, or others, but not the tenets of the faith.

Government Made $20 Billion in Secret Purchases in Recent Months: $30,000 in one agency’s Starbucks purchases kept confidential
Via avordvet
The federal government has spent at
least $20 billion in taxpayer money this year on items and services that
it is permitted to keep secret from the public, according to an
investigation by the News4 I-Team.
The
purchases, known among federal employees as “micropurchases,” are made
by some of the thousands of agency employees who are issued
taxpayer-funded purchase cards. The purchases, in most cases, remain
confidential and are not publicly disclosed by the agencies. A sampling
of those purchases, obtained by the I-Team via the Freedom of
Information Act, reveals at least one agency used those cards to buy
$30,000 in Starbucks Coffee drinks and products in one year without
having to disclose or detail the purchases to the public.

The Hawaiian Tropic Effect: Why the Fed's Quantitative Easing Isn't Over
Via Michael
Imagine that the Federal Reserve wants to increase the price of suntan lotion. There are 10 bottles of Hawaiian Tropic for sale at the cabana. The Fed buys one per hour until it owns nine. Each time it acquires one, the price for the remaining bottles rises because people who don’t want to get sunburned are competing for the dwindling supply. Now that just one bottle is left, the Fed stops buying. Would you expect the price of the last bottle to fall suddenly? No—there’s still lots of demand and constricted supply. Same with bonds. The price of bonds should stay high—and yields stay low—as long as the Fed hangs onto its huge inventory.

The 53rd NC Soldiers at Fort Mahone, Battle of Petersburg, April 2, 1865
| Lest Darkness Fall |
Wartime photographer, Thomas C. Roche, left a profound legacy with
his images taken on
April 3, 1865. Roche captured a number of scenes of
fallen Confederate soldiers, all of whom had perished the day before at
the Battle of Petersburg, most at Fort Mahone. Roche’s intent was
doubtless to document the Northerners’ victory over a prostrate South,
highlighted by images of vanquished Confederate dead. More universally,
Roche conveys the tragedy of war, and the waste of human life and noble
spirit. He also, unwittingly provided a valuable record of the
Confederate soldier’s uniform, arms and equipment in the last days of
the war. It is this aspect that we turn our attention to now.
I have considered a number of factors in this study, to include
jackets, pants, hats, shoes, socks, greatcoats, shirts, drawers and
vests. I have also considered rifles, accoutrements, canteens,
haversacks, blankets and bedrolls, and cups. Finally, I have noted the
ages of the soldiers, and the grooming of their hair and beards. The
purpose throughout has been to paint a picture of what the average
“Johnny Reb” in Lee’s Virginia Army looked like in the closing days of
the war. The comparisons include all fifteen fallen Confederate
soldiers in Roche’s Petersburg images. Most of these soldiers appear to
have been infantrymen, due to their accoutrements, rifles or positions
in the trenches. I have assigned each of the subjects (fallen soldiers)
with a number based on the last two digits of the Library of Congress
number used to catalog Roche’s images. Each individual soldier is shown
in pictures 1 though 15.
In
completing this study, I have used images of dead men, often grotesque,
to illustrate points of material culture. My intent is not to dishonor
the memory of these fallen Southerners, but to awaken interest in their
story and plight, and heighten appreciation for our Southern heritage.

The AK 47 My Weapon of Choice
The Zastava M-70 is an assault rifle developed and
produced in Yugoslavia, nowadays Kragujevac, Serbia by Zastava Arms
company. The design of the M-70 was based on modified Soviet AK-47 and
AKM assault rifles and it became the standard issue weapon in the
Yugoslav People’s Army in 1970. The M-70 is an air-cooled, magazine-fed,
selective fire rifle. This weapon is also available as a modern
sporting rifle in the US without select fire capabilities.“
Of course nobody calls it M70, type A, B or whatever type there was. Not too many people call it AK, few call it Kalashnikov, or simply shorter and more familiar name:“Kalash“. Like we were talking about kids nickname or your favourite uncles name.
Favourite name was „gipsy woman“ or „gipsy lady“.
In the beginning of the war, all kind of weapons were in use. Some of those artefacts were used more to instil fear in enemy then to harm someone.
So in one period it was normal to see guy with his grandpa hunting rifle, two belts of bullets for bird hunting on his waist, and even green hat on his head with bird feather on it.

Quality control
Thinking outside the box.
It would be nice to have some. Of the guns I worked with this year, perhaps 40% either arrived non-functional or partly functional, or failed within fifty rounds. While that’s skewed by the high percentage of prototypes I encounter, enough of the production guns are unusable to make me wonder.

Dramatic Video Shows Man Refusing to Lie Down For Police, Despite Guns Pointed at Him
“This is one man talking to another. There is a man behind that badge, be like a man. That is a coward pointing a gun at me”
A powerful video was submitted to the Free Thought Project which shows a dramatic interaction between a man and La Quinta police.
Alejandro Natividad, a resident of Indio pulled out his phone and caught his incredible non-violent resistance on video Sunday as police were pointing guns at him.
Natividad, had committed no crime, yet when police chose to interact with him, guns were drawn and he was told to get face down on the concrete.
Natividad non-violently refused to lay down because he knew he was right, and knew that he committed no crime. But this decision did not go over well with police.
Another officer showed up and drew his pistol as well and pointed it at Natividad. At this point Natividad is incredibly nervous but continues to film and holds his ground, refusing to lay down for doing nothing wrong.
The resultant video is inspiring to say the least.

Black Power: A Done Deal

As I write America waits, again, to see whether blacks will riot, this time in Ferguson. Will they loot, burn, kill, and rape? The usual? The police in Ferguson prepare to protect stores from looters, as rioters seem to regard their insurrections as shopping opportunities. Will it come, we wonder tensely? Will the destruction get out of hand, spread to other cities?
It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can’t do. Their power seems without limit.
Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks.

The new history of silver is a falsified history. Silver was once
used extensively by all health care practitioners as an antibiotic,
anti-viral, and as an anti-microbial. Nothing worked better then, and
nothing does now. The F.D.A. began its crusade against silver products
in the 1930's, because silver (as a natural substance) cannot be
patented; but the organization's antibiotic and vaccine industry
partners were able to patent their wares. Under the Food and Drug
Administration's original name, the Bureau of Chemistry, its real
mission was to legally protect the chemical industry by declaring toxic
chemicals to be "generally recognized as safe", and to eliminate the
chemical industry's competition through regulations. This history has
likewise been obscured greatly in most modern historical texts, but the
truth can be found in materials from its early period.
Silver medicine has been erased from the textbooks, and it is seldom given mention in medical literature.

Two thousand, three hundred years ago, Alexander The Great was

Throughout the middle ages, the wealthy gave their children silver
spoons to suck upon to stave off illnesses. People have known about the
benefits of silver for so long that it is incorporated into legends.
Silver is the recommended agent for killing vampires, werewolves, and

The suspect
was caught in the late afternoon after a manhunt that included dozens of
armed officers searching the woods along a state highway with a police
helicopter flying overhead. A second suspect was still on the loose
Tuesday night. Authorities didn't offer a motive but believe the victims
were targeted. Both were expected to survive.
