IDF Collecting Settlers' Weapons

This is unbelievable and just goes to show you, don't trust any government, period.

Toombs And Scott:)

Mr. Toombs told us a story of General Scott and himself. He said he was dining in Washington with Scott, who seasoned every dish and every glass of wine with the eternal refrain, "Save the Union; the Union must be preserved."

Toombs remarked that he knew why the Union was so dear to the General, and illustrated his point by a steamboat anecdote, an explosion, of course. While the passengers were struggling in the water a woman ran up and down the bank crying, "Oh, save the red-headed man!" The red-headed man was saved, and his preserver, after landing him noticed with surprise how little interest in him the woman who had made such moving appeals seemed to feel. He asked her "Why did you make that pathetic outcry?" She answered, "Oh, he owes me ten thousand dollars."

"Now General," said Toombs, "the Union owes you seventeen thousand dollars a year!" I can imagine the scorn on old Scott's face.

This Is What A Collapse Looks Like
"Lying politicians, massive debt, corrupt banks…..I don’t want to be alarmist but the governmental corruption that set Argentina's in motion appears shockingly similar to what is going on here in the USA."

Guerrilla Days In Ireland, Tom Barry

"Many statements have been made by Ministers and Generals in various countries on the necessity for long periods of training before even an infantry soldier is ready for action. This is utter nonsense when applied to volunteers for guerrilla warfare. After only one week of collective training, this Flying Column of intelligent and courageous fighters was fit to meet an equal number of soldiers from any regular army in the world, and hold its own in battle, if not in barrack yard ceremonial. It's camp training now completed, the Flying Column was ready to seek out the enemy."

Japanese Hellships Topic Of Video Night

"The Hellships were the unmarked Japanese passenger and cargo ships that carried more than 126,000 allied prisoners of war from prison camps across Asia to work as slave labor for the Japanese in Japan, China, Manchuria and Korea. Approximately 16 of these ships were attacked and sunk, mostly by the U.S. Navy who did not know what cargo those ships were carrying. The loss of life of the allied prisoners of war is estimated at more than 21,000."
