Filipino refugees displaced by the ongoing Battle of Manila seek refuge behind US forces (left). 


The battle broke out between United American and Philippine forces against the Japanese occupiers from February 3, 1945 to March 3, 1945 and ended in a terrible bloodbath and total devastation of the city.


 It was the scene of the worst urban fighting in the Pacific Theater and ended nearly three years of Japanese military occupation of the Philippines. An estimated 100,000 Manila residents were killed, both deliberately by the Japanese and by US army artillery and air bombardment.

REASONS NAZI STRIP PRISONER BEFORE EXECUTION

Image
REASONS NAZI STRIP PRISONER BEFORE EXECUTION The Nazis employed the dehumanizing practice of making people strip naked before being executed or subjected to gas chambers for several interconnected reasons. Firstly, it served to strip victims of their individuality and dignity. By forcing people to remove their clothing, the Nazis aimed to reduce them to mere numbers, degrading their humanity and making it easier for the perpetrators to view them as disposable entities rather than fellow human beings. Secondly, it facilitated the process of disposal and decontamination. Removing clothing reduced the risk of contamination from any potential chemicals or diseases, making it easier for the Nazis to manage the disposal of bodies and minimize the risks to the executioners themselves. Thirdly, it amplified the psychological torment of the victims. Stripping people of their clothing left them exposed, vulnerable, and humiliated, intensifying their emotional suffering before their eventu...

Why Most Married White Women Have Black Lovers

Image
  Why Most Married White Women Have Black Lovers I learned the simple fact that many WW marry WM for the bag 💰 and once they are set, they go back to their pre marriage days of black lovers fun or just looking to finally fulfill a long time curiosity. Married or divorced this is prevalent in many places. One thing women do is communicate greatly about their love life/ sexual relationships and many have varying things to say about black men. With no need for money, stability, or family, growth all fulfilled then the life focus changes to personal desires and wants. This is why if you go to Jamaica there are tons of single older WW. Or in the case of the Kardashians, they have their money and now for the boy toy sexual fulfillment of a black man. This is not the only reason but definitely a huge factor in these relationships. WW have always been attracted to and seeking black men. Only with the pressure of racist WM and their ongoing angst fragility and c...

Execution of Allen Lee Davis

Image
Allen Lee Davis  (July 20, 1944 – July 8, 1999) was an American murderer who was executed for the 1982 murder of Nancy Weiler, who was three months pregnant, in Jacksonville, Florida. According to reports, Nancy Weiler was "beaten almost beyond recognition" by Davis with a .357 Magnum, and hit more than 25 times in the face and head. He was additionally convicted of killing Nancy Weiler's two daughters, Kristina, age 9, who was shot twice in the face, and Katherine, age 5, who was shot as she tried to run away and then had her skull beaten in with the gun. Davis, who had a lengthy criminal history, was on parole for armed robbery at the time of the murders. He later admitted that his initial motive was to rape and murder Kristina, kill her sister and mother, and then ransack the house. Davis was executed on July 8, 1999, via electrocution. His execution was alleged to have been botched, with witnesses reporting that Davis was still alive after the power to Old Sparky wa...

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski

Image
The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski This is a shocking image and I apologize in advance for sharing it, but here’s one that truly got to me… in Belarus, 1918, after WWI had already ended, the brave Russian officer Rosinski was captured by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of the man, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. He was ‘the enemy’ and he was at their mercy, so they brutally murdered their captive. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. All this while still alive. Alfred Savoir, the man who published the picture and was an eye witness to the death of the brave military officer, described "M. B.", who ordered this atrocity, thus: I knew him not long ago; he was a charming teenager with an ironic wit and joker. He was rubbed with French culture, he admired the novels of Barres and h...

Freedomite

Image
See video F reedo m i t e The  Freedomite  movement consists of a split-off of the Doukhobors, a community of Spiritual Christians began a mass migration from Russia to Canada in 1898. The Freedomite movement first appeared in 1902 in Saskatchewan, and later in the Kootenay and Boundary Districts of British Columbia. Freedomites began to divide from Doukhobors in 1902 in Saskatchewan, Canada, self-named as "God's people" and  Svobodniki  (Russian: "sovereign people"). The faction, later called "Freedomites", opposed land ownership, public schools, using work animals, etc. and are mainly known for protesting nude. By 1920 the common English term for them became  Sons of Freedom . Of about 20,000 active Doukhobors in Canada today, ancestors of about 2,500 were Freedomites, and many descendants have joined the USCC Community Doukhobors.

  Photos: Meet Woman With Four Legs And Two Private Parts . In this article, we would be looking at the story of a woman who had four legs and two private parts. How did she became this way? What happened to her? All your questions would be answered in this article. Who was the Woman with Four Legs? You might find it hard to believe but Josephine Myrtle Cobin existed. Who is she? Well, she is known to many as the woman who had four legs and two private parts. Josephine was born in Tennessee, London County, two decades ago, in 1868. According to medical reports which we have come to see more often in recent times, Josephine Myrtle Cobin's surplus legs weren't hers. Who did they belong to them? They belonged to her twin sister. Now, Josephine didn't have a twin that people could see but the reports indicated that she was conjoined. She had a rare case of twin conjoining known in medical terms as dipygus. The upper part of her body had the features of a regular person;...

Stone Age People Used This 35,000-Year-Old Woolly Mammoth Tusk Tool to Make Rope

Image
Stone Age People Used This 35,000-Year-Old Woolly Mammoth Tusk Tool to Make Rope :In 2015, archaeologists in the Hohle Fels cave in southwestern Germany found 15 pieces of mammoth ivory.  Based on radiocarbon dating of similar, previous discoveries nearby, the pieces were estimated to be between 35,000 and 40,000 years old. When assembled, they formed a 20.4-centimeter (8-inch) woolly mammoth tusk—also called the “Hohle Fels baton”—with four holes surrounded by grooves carved into its side. Some researchers previously believed the odd ivory baton was ritualistic and used as a noisemaker, scepter, wand or piece of art.  Others thought the instrument was used to straighten wooden shafts or work leather,  but close analysis of the baton’s four holes led the study authors to a different conclusion: Evidence of plant and soil residue and microscopic wear and tear indicated, perhaps, that the object was actually a tool used to make rope or twine.  In an experiment using a ...

Poland, Women n@ked, before their exe*cution

Poland, Women n@ked, before their exe*cution Among the millions of photographs that are related to Nazi death camps, only four depict the actual process of mass killing perpetrated at the gas chambers in Auschwitz-Birkenau. They show a completely different perspective, which makes them unique when dealing with visual material of the Holocaust and the Holocaust as a topic itself. They were taken inside the epicenter of the horror, from which no other visual material exists. They were taken clandestinely at the height of the Final Solution in 1944 by one of the so-called  Sonderkommando  – Jewish prisoners forced to help carry out the atrocities by removing the Nazis' victims from the gas chambers and destroying the corpses through fire or mass burial. One of the photographs shows a group of naked women; the others show the cremation of corpses. Poland, Women naked, before their execution If we agree that photography not only reflects reality, but also interprets it, than w...

Book Burnings in Germany, 1933

Image
Book Burnings in Germany, 1933 On May 10, 1933, university students in 34 university towns across Germany burned over 25,000 books. The works of Jewish authors like Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud went up in flames alongside blacklisted American authors such as Ernest Hemingway and Helen Keller, while students gave the Nazi salute. In Berlin 40,000 people gathered to hear German Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels give a speech in Berlin's Opera Square. He declared "the era of extreme Jewish intellectualism is now at an end. ... The future German man will not just be a man of books, but a man of character. It is to this end that we want to educate you. ... And thus you do well in this midnight hour to commit to the flames the evil spirit of the past." Radio stations broadcast the Berlin speeches, songs, and ceremonial incantations to countless German listeners. Widespread newspaper coverage called the "Action against the Un-German S...
