Time for another all-video edition

1. Incredible Bravery


2. More Incredible Bravery


3. If You Are Going To Do Something, Do It Properly!


4. Cool Facts About Israel


5. Canadian Military Prowess


6. From The Same Team That Brought Us "Band of Brothers" - Band of Brothers, broadcast in 2001, was a phenomenal ten part TV miniseries that was based on the true story of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division - some of the famed "Battered Bastards of Bastogne". I have watched the miniseries endless times and it never fails to completely mesmerize me. It is hard to say which episode is my favorite - but one that has special significance is Part 9 - Why We Fight - here is a brief excerpt (caution - graphic images)


Now the same creative team - 2 guys named Spielberg and Hanks - have produced a similar series about the war in the Pacific simply entitled "Pacific". The series is based on books by US Marine veterans Eugene Sledge (With The Old Breed) and Robert Leckie (Helmet For My Pillow). I have read the first book and highly recommend it as an excellent overview of the terrible war against the Japanese. In any event, here is a trailer for this new miniseries.


7. Auschwitz Photo Album

In December 2006, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and former member of the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) wrote to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum archives. As one of its many tasks as a military intelligence agency, the CIC conducted investigations of Nazi perpetrators for U.S. prosecutors in the Judge Advocate General's Office after World War II. While stationed in Germany in 1946, this officer found a photograph album in an abandoned apartment in Frankfurt and took it home with him. In 2007, he donated the album to the Museum, but wanted his donation to remain anonymous.

The album contained 116 pictures taken between May and December 1944 chronicling the life of SS officers and other officials at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The rare images capture SS guards and Nazi officials relaxing and enjoying time off—hunting, singing, trimming Christmas trees, and more—all while Jews were being murdered at rates as fast as anytime during the Holocaust. The album was created and owned by Karl Hoecker, an adjunct to camp Kommandant Richard Baer.

The album complements the only other known collection of photographs taken at Auschwitz, published as the "Auschwitz Album" in 1980. Those images specifically depict the arrival of Hungarian Jews at the camp in late May 1944, and the selection process that the SS imposed on them. Some of the images contained in the new album were taken just days later. In contrast to documenting mass murder, they focus on the daily lives and recreational pursuits of Nazi officials, and no prisoner appears in any of the images.

Remarkably, many of the album's pictures were taken when the camp's gas chambers and crematoria were operating at and above capacity as Hungarian Jews were arriving and being murdered.

1. That Ain't All That's Flawed - Medical journal: Study linking vaccine to autism flawed - Nova Scotia News - TheChronicleHerald.ca - they can retract that study but publish this politically correct, blood-libelous trash. What don't these sanctimonious ivory tower goofs publish a piece about post traumatic stress disorder in residents of Sderot?






4. Maybe It Was Not The Mossad - But let's keep them guessing - Hamas: Dubai assassins were likely Arabs, not Israelis - Haaretz - Israel News - they should be looking over their shoulders 24/7/365 - or, to quote The Beatles - "Eight Days A Week".

5. Give Us This Day Or Daily Dose Of Iran - OK.



8. NOT a Terrorist - But they thought he was - Interview with the Tefillin Terrorist - Community - New Voices






13. The Taliban - Taking Tea with the Taliban


(being a Toyota, I wonder if the accelerator works?)

14. Goldstone Report Still An Issue - and likely will be for a while:




17. Super Bowl Sunday - On Sunday night, The Indianapolis Colts will play the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. The Colts are led by their superb quarterback Peyton Manning, who is not my favorite player - though there is no doubting his ability and leadership.


The Saints are led by quarterback Drew Brees, a star in his own right, and an explosive offence. However, the Saints are also an inspiration to New Orleans and the entire Gulf Coast in light of their tremendous contribution to the area after Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans Feels the Brees | By Allen Barra - WSJ.com


In the meantime, all I care about is the game itself - not the hoopla or even the half-time show - and that hopefully it will be well-played, well-officiated and close right to the end. Personally, I'm rooting for the Saints - but I would not want to have to try to stop Manning.

18. Not The Sharpest Knives In The Drawer - Or Bonnie and Clyde for that matter.

1. Stop The Presses - Israeli Atrocity Alert! - Jewish Star in Gaza field causes stir.


I think Israel's enemies are scraping the bottom of the barrel - not a hard thing to do - they are usually at the bottom of the barrel themselves [which, complete peripherally, reminds me of a great line from the M*A*S*H television series, when Hawkeye (Alan Alda) told Trapper John (Wayne McIntyre) to "...get his mind out of the gutter...", to which Trapper replied "I can't help it, it's attached to my body."]



2. Now Here's Something To Investigate - and do something about (like that will ever happen) Palestinian TV: "The Prophet says: 'You shall fight the Jews and kill them'" - Jihad Watch.


3. This Despicable "Man" Is More Than An Embarrassment to the Catholic Church - He's a waste of DNA and a disgrace to the human race - Embarrassment for the Catholic Church: Bishop Williamson Unrepentent in Holocaust Denial - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International and Germany court summons bishop over Holocaust denial
- Haaretz - Israel News.


Right - the Jewish conspiracy that runs the world made the whole thing up - you'd better book your room in hell, Williamson - it's the very least you deserve. I cannot wait for you to meet your Maker.



4. Terrorists Of A Feather Flock Together - Hizbullah may help Hamas strike abroad


5. If Case You Did Not Know - Antisemitism is alive and well and living in, among other places, the Netherlands - Dutch pro-Palestinian socialite: Jewish lobby plays on Holocaust - Haaretz - Israel News.

It is important to remember that while there is some romantic notion about how the Dutch helped the Jews during World War II, the truth is that for all the wonderfully brave Dutch people who did help Jews, there were many collaborators who actively assisted the Nazis in their oppressive occupation of the Netherlands, as well as in the deportation and murder of Jews [of the 140,000 Jews living in the Netherlands at the time of the Nazi invasion in 1940, only 30,000 survived the war]. In fact, there was even volunteer units of the Waffen SS comprised of Dutch volunteers.

1. And If So, The Well Done - 'Mossad may have killed Mabhouh' and BBC News - Hamas military commander 'assassinated in Dubai'. One more dead terrorist is a very good thing - now go get Hassan Nasrallah (who hasn't put his head above ground since the end of the Second Lebanon War) and Samir Kuntar - those bastards do not deserve to die a natural death in their own bed. Unfortunately, there are lots of targets.



2. Get Every Last One of Them - Here's my position on Nazi war criminals who are still alive. I could not care less how old they are, how infirm they might be, how much they may have changed since the war - hunt every single last one of them down and bring them to trial - though to be frank, it would not bother me if they had an accident while in custody - like falling down the stairs 100 times in a row - gee, those stairs are slippery. Age, infirmity or character never mattered to the Nazis - so turnabout is more than fair play.

4. The Beginning Of The End For Iran? Faster, Please! » Infernal Iran; The Death Spiral Accelerates. Think of the Al Capone analogy - it doesn't matter how you get him off the street (tax evasion instead of murder), just that you get him off the street (he died in prison from complications from syphilis). If the theocratic governing thugs of Iran are displaced because the place rots from the inside, then that's OK by me. Also - Commentary » Blog Archive » Threatening Israel Isn’t Enough Anymore.
