Halloween eve and such beautiful sky, but off in the bayous the devil is marching towards New Orleans. His fire and brimstone lighting the sky as he comes for the souls of those who have chosen to stay. He will be there by morning sunrise if there is one. Pray for those still there. They will need all the help they can get to fight him off.

He is at the edge of the town by the amusement park now where the fire and smoke of hell have come to earth and block out the sun. He is coming to claim his right to the tortured souls still left in New Orleans. All is quiet. Those faithful in all the churches have left leaving Lucifer and his minions to take what they want. Lucifer is only waiting for the darkness of tonight when he is at his strongest to lay waste to the city and the people still there.. God help those left in this God forsaken city.
Happy Halloween!!

The inscription on the monument "If I will forget Them, You, God in heaven, forget about me."- Adam Bernard Mickiewicz ( 24 December 1798 – 26 November 1855) Polish poet, dramatist, essayist, publicist, translator, professor of Slavic literature, and political activist.
The Volhynian, massacres, were anti-Polish genocidal ethnic cleansings conducted by Ukrainian nationalists.
The massacres took place within Poland’s borders as of the outbreak of WWII, and not only in Volhynia, but also in other areas with a mixed Polish-Ukrainian population, especially the Lvov, Tarnopol, and Stanisławów voivodeships (that is, in Eastern Galicia), as well as in some voivodeships bordering on Volhynia (the western part of the Lublin Voivodeship and the northern part of the Polesie Voivodeship. The time frame of these massacres was 1943-1945. The perpetrators were the Organization
of Ukrainian Nationalists-Bandera faction (OUN-B) and its military wing,
called the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).
Their documents show that the planned extermination of the Polish population was called an “anti-Polish operation.”
Criminal Investigations
Genocide is a legal category. The Volhynian massacres have all the traits of genocide listed in the 1948
UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which defines genocide
as an act “committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group,
as such.” In Polish academia the Volhynian massacres are referred to as genocidal ethnic cleansings,
the Volhynian (or Volhynian-Galician) slaughter, or, in legal terminology, the crime of genocide.
Polish historians are emphasizing that the Volhynian bloodbath is the uncleared crime of genocide still, and praise of Stepan Bandera and members murderous party of OUN-UPA by the current Ukrainian authorities.

The village of Oradour-sur-Glane in Haute-Vienne became horribly famous for the massacre of June 10, 1944. This peaceful village was surrounded in the afternoon by 200 soldiers of the 2nd SS Panzer Division 'Das Reich'. What should have been an ordinary identity check turned into a brutal bloodbath. Men, women and children were shot and burned with cold-blooded efficiency. In total, the Nazis are said to have killed 642 people, 207 of which were children.
Symbol of Nazi barbarism and memorial site, Oradour-sur-Glane has been frozen in time ever since. During a visit, the burnt cars and houses will give you an idea of the magnitude of the massacre. Read the various memorial plaques that can be found in the main road leading to the market square.
Near the village, the underground memorial center provides an overview of Nazi history, from its rise to this tragic day, with an exhibition that invites reflection on peace and human rights. To honor the villagers, the Center has been trying since 2014 to give a face to the fallen and have it engraved. More than 500 have been recovered so far.
the whole village is now a place for reflection , a new village has been built next to it .
Het dorpje Oradour-sur-Glane in Haute-Vienne is op gruwelijke wijze bekend geworden door het bloedbad van 10 juni 1944. Dit vredige dorp werd in de middag door 200 soldaten van de 2de SS pantserdivisie ‘Das Reich’ omsingeld. Wat een gewone identiteitscontrole moest zijn, veranderde in een wreed bloedbad. Mannen, vrouwen en kinderen werden met koelbloedige efficiëntie doodgeschoten en verbrand. In totaal zouden de nazi's 642 mensen, waarvan 207 kinderen vermoord hebben.
Oradour-sur-Glane, symbool van de nazi-barbarij en herdenkingslocatie, is sinds deze dag als bevroren in de tijd. Tijdens een bezoek zullen de verbrande auto's en huizen u een idee geven van de omvang van het bloedbad. Lees de verschillende gedenkplaten die te vinden zijn in de hoofdweg naar het marktplein.
In de buurt van het dorp biedt het ondergrondse herdenkingscentrum een overzicht van de nazigeschiedenis, van zijn opkomst tot deze tragische dag, met een tentoonstelling die uitnodigt tot nadenken over vrede en mensenrechten. Om de dorpsbewoners te eren, probeert het Centrum sinds 2014 de gesneuvelden een gezicht te geven, en die te laten graveren. Tot nu toe zijn er meer dan 500 teruggevonden.

"Maybe that's exactly how it is: those who are worth truly loving are those who make you a stranger to yourself. Those who manage to eradicate you from your habitat and your journey, and transplant you into another ecosystem, managing to keep you alive in that jungle that you do not know and where you would certainly die if it were not for the fact that they are there and teach you the steps, gestures and words: and you, against all odds, you are able to repeat them."
Kurt Querner - Selbstportrait mit Brennnessel
Nach dem Blutbad im Keglerheim in Dresden am 25. Januar
1933 entstand dieses Gemälde. Eine KPD-Versammlung hatte in einer Schießerei mit der Polizei geendet. Es gab neun Tote und elf Schwerverletzte. Die Brennnessel ist als Symbol des Widerstands zu lesen. Das Selbstbildnis malte Querner auf dem Dachboden des Elternhauses in Börnchen; es verblieb zu Querners Lebzeiten und bis zum Erwerb durch die Nationalgalerie von dessen Witwe, Regina Querner, in eben jenem Haus.
Curt Querner - Self-Portrait with Stinging Nettle
This painting was created after the bloodbath at the Keglerheim in Dresden on 25 January 1933. A KPD meeting had ended in a shootout with the police. There were nine dead and eleven seriously injured. The nettle can be read as a symbol of resistance. Querner painted the self-portrait in the attic of his parents' house in Börnchen; it remained in that very house during Querner's lifetime and until it was acquired by the National Gallery from his widow, Regina Querner.

Without means to escape the looming bloodbath, her demon orb came levitating with a flick of her finger. "I guess a fight is inevitable," she said in a somewhat calm voice as the orb started to glow bright red. "I hope you're ready to perish. Don't worry... I'll do it fast and painless... /hopefully/."

Wołyń
Makowiecki Lech
Czy pamiętasz Panie Boże
Nad Wołyniem łunę krwawą
I ten krzyk z płonącej chaty
Mordowanych przez sąsiadów.
Chyba byłeś w tamtej porze
Gdzieś po innej stronie świata,
Bo byś pewnie się zasmucił
i przystanął i zapłakał…
Czy słyszałeś modłę Panie,
Oczy ojca czy pamiętasz,
Gdy hańbili córkę jego
Banderowcy jak zwierzęta.
On na drzwiach ukrzyżowany
Błagał „Zmiłuj się nad nami!”
Zlitowali się oprawcy
Skłuli oczy bagnetami…
Czy widziałeś Ojcze Święty
Patrząc z góry przez firmament
Dzieci śliczne jak aniołki
Na sztachety powbijane…
Kto je teraz poprowadzi
Na spotkanie z Tobą Boże,
One przecież takie małe
Zbłądzą same w tych przestworzach…
Czy spamiętasz Panie Świata,
Męczenników tych z Wołynia,
Umierali z myślą o Tej,
która nigdy nie zaginie.
Polska o nich zapomniała,
rozpłynęła się w oddali,
Czasem drżąca ręka starca
świeczkę jeszcze tu zapali.
Porastają chwastem zgliszcza,
groby toną w bujnej trawie,
Jutro już nie będzie komu
świeczki za nich tu postawić.

On the evening of 7 November, Christian summoned many Swedish leaders to a private conference at the palace. At dusk on 8 November, Danish soldiers, with lanterns and torches, entered a great hall of the royal palace and imprisoned several noble guests. Later in the evening, even more of the king's guests were imprisoned. All these people had previously been marked down on Archbishop Trolle's proscription list.
The following day, 9 November, a council, headed by Archbishop Trolle, sentenced the proscribed to death for being heretics; the main point of accusation was their having united in a pact to depose Trolle a few years earlier. However, many of them were also leading men of the Sture party and thus potential opponents of the Danish kings. At noon, the anti-unionist bishops of Skara and Strängnäs were led out into the great square and beheaded. Fourteen noblemen, three burgomasters, fourteen town councillors and about twenty common citizens of Stockholm were then hanged or beheaded.
The executions continued throughout the following day (10 November). According to the chief executioner, Jörgen Homuth, 82 people were executed. It has been claimed that Christian also took revenge on Sten Sture's body, having it dug up and burnt, as well as the body of his child. Sture's widow Lady Kristina and many other noblewomen were taken as prisoners to Denmark. Wikipedia

Every Civil War battlefield is poignant, preserving within itself a base, murderous vibe. Each speaks to us in its own way of American folly. Nowhere is the vibe more toxic than at Antietam.
In a quiet corner of rural Maryland just off the Potomac River, legions of Union and Confederate soldiers—Americans all—converged in cornfields and country lanes outside Sharpsburg, shooting, bombing, and bayoneting one another in a merciless bloodbath. It was just one day in a civil war that lasted four years and destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of young men,

Told my little Pollyanna
There's a place for you and me
We'll go down to Transverse City
Life is cheap, and Death is free
Past the condensation silos
Past the all-night trauma stand
We'll be there before tomorrow
Pollyanna, take my hand
Show us endless neon vistas
Castles made of laser lights
Take us to the shopping sector
In the vortex of the night
Past the shiny, mylar towers
Past the ravaged tenements
To a place we can't remember
For a time we won't forget
Here's the hum of desperation
Here's the test tube mating call
Here's the latest carbon cycle
Here's the clergy of the mall
Here's the song of shear and torsion
Here's the bloodbath magazine
Here's the harvest of contusions
Here's the narcoleptic dream
Told my little Pollyanna
Here's a place where we can stay
We have come to see tomorrow
We have given up today
Down among the dancing quanta
Everything exists at once
Up above in Transverse City
Every weekend lasts for months
Warren Zevon "Transverse City"
A promise was made. We didn't keep it.
1971. A country was born in March and a huge bloodbath followed before the final victory. We made promises to the souls of all the martyrs. We kept none of them. Selfishness became our national symbol. All day today, this song kept playing in my head. Are we good enough to bring the green back?
Just look at the pictures in that song and multiply millions of times.
I want you to be angry. I am!
I want you to be ashamed. I am!
Drove like a maniac..parked my car and climbed to the roof of my building to get a shot of this apocalypse happening in the sky..then I napped after :))
I often get asked how i stay looking so young, partly because of my Elfin heritage but also partly because...well...
Once, The Green Knight got in a fight
With Gawain, the Prince of the Yard
They tussled and scuffled,
Then they were shuffled,
And bottom-deck dealt,
A remarkably unscrupulous Card
The Mechanic, Mordred Le Fay
Sat on Rockets and Jays
From under the table, a Knave came into his hand
Three Jacks and Big Apples
Painted the table ... Bloodbath-Shrapnel
And Black Jack walked away, just as planned

The physical center of Stockholm is the Stortorget Square in the Old Town. Back in Medieval times it was also the political and social center of the city. The red building was built in 1479 and is called either the Schantzka or Ribbinska Huset.
Some say the white stones, which were added in 1628, symbolize the 82 people who were promised amnesty by Danish King Kristian II after he conquered the city. However, they were arrested while attending his banquet and then beheaded in this square the next day. The 1520 event is called the Stockholm Bloodbath.

Lettera di protesta al ministro Danese
www.whales.org.au/alert/filetter.html
Di immagini crude che documentino la ferocia e la barbarie di cui è capace l’uomo contro le altre specie viventi ne abbiamo diffuse molte: dal massacro delle foche che si perpetua ogni anno in Canada, alla strage degli elefanti in Africa, alla mattanza delle tigri appese come maiali a testa in giù per rifornire il mercato alimentare esotico dei cinesi ricchi.
Oggi vogliamo denunciare un’altra efferata e insensata usanza che si ripete annualmente nelle isole Far Oer, in Danimarca: l’uccisione di centinaia di balene, arpionate e accoltellate in massa da decine di persone, accorse come per un rito, a quello che per loro è un giorno di festa, per i poveri mammiferi un giorno rosso di sangue, un eccidio brutale ed inspiegabile.
L’uomo nasce cacciatore, diranno alcuni, ed è normale che si pratichi la pesca, che si vada a caccia e che si cibi di altre specie viventi. Fin qua ci siamo. Ma come insegnavano gli indiani d’America, i primi veri ecologisti, non bisogna prendere più del necessario da Madre Natura, rispettando ogni animale, ogni pianta come fosse sacra, perché necessaria alla nostra sopravvivenza.
Uccidere gli elefanti per farne bacchette d’avorio, assassinare le tigri per servirle ad un nababbo in camera con la sua amante, massacrare tenerissimi cuccioli di foca per ricavarne pellicce per signore facoltose non è lo stesso che uccidere un orso, come facevano anticamente gli indiani, per ricavarne un cappotto per ripararsi dal gelido inverno.
Così come c’è un’enorme differenza tra pescare per la sussistenza di una popolazione e compiere un massacro scellerato per perpetuare una stupida tradizione.
Così come è diversa la modalità con cui potrebbero essere soppressi questi poveri e stupendi animali marini, senza farne un giorno di festa, senza compiacersi e ridere alla vista delle balene sgozzate. Questo non è istinto di sopravvivenza, questa è crudeltà, pura, spietata, senza paragoni in nessun’altra specie vivente.
Le balene sono animali sensibili e socievoli e hanno, particolare non trascurabile, un sistema nervoso molto sviluppato che le porta a soffrire il dolore, il terrore e le sofferenze in maniera molto accentuata.
Ogni anno nelle Far Oer, i grossi mammiferi vengono attirati nelle baie, disorientando un intero gruppo con la cattura della balena pilota, vengono guidati e disorientati dai motoscafi (condotti solitamente da islandesi), costretti ad arenarsi sulla riva. Qui ha inizio il bagno di sangue. Martelli del peso di 2,2 chilogrammi percuotono ripetutamente gli animali ancora vivi, per far penetrare nella carne fresca uncini perforanti. Successivamente coltelli di 15 centimetri vengono impiegati per trapassare le carni e spaccare letteralmente la spina dorsale. La baia si riempie di sangue stagnante e di balene sofferenti e morenti tra i più atroci dolori. Il tanfo di morte è insopportabile
Gli abitanti delle Far Oer celebrano il massacro delle loro vittime in un’atmosfera carnevalesca di intrattenimento. Spesso ai più piccoli viene concesso un giorno di festa a scuola per assistere all’evento e godere dello spettacolo. Decine di bambini corrono sulla spiaggia, nella baia, e saltano e giocano e gioiscono sulle carcasse sanguinanti delle balene. Ogni anno trovano la morte nelle Far Oer circa 2.000 balene.
Le Far Oer, a metà strada tra le isole Shetland e l’Islanda, malgrado siano un protettorato della Danimarca, hanno un loro governo indipendente che regola anche questa stupida mattanza annuale.
Le balene del Nord Atlantico sono considerate una specie protetta dalla Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats.
Uccidendo anche più di cento balene per volta interi gruppi vengono disorientati, sconvolgendo gli equilibri, i cicli riproduttivi, dividendo intere famiglie e condannando a morte i piccoli della specie.
Gli abitanti delle Far Oer, dato ancora più sconcertante, non vivono del ricavato della vendita di carne di balena, perché non può essere esportata negli altri Paesi Europei, dal momento che viene ad essere inquinata da tossine e metalli pesanti e non è pertanto conforme agli standard dell’Unione sugli alimenti destinati al consumo umano.
La mattanza delle balene è dunque un atto totalmente gratuito, crudele e assurdo.
L’unica cosa che possiamo fare per fermare lo scempio è diffondere quanto più possibile questi dati e queste terribili immagini.
Pubblicatele sui vostri siti, sui blog, sugli spaces, inviatele via mail ai vostri amici. Se i network di informazione nazionali perdono pagine e servizi interi per intenerire con la storia di una balena che ha scambiato una barca per la mamma, cosa dovremmo fare con queste immagini, ben più terribili e scioccanti?
E’ necessario rendersi testimoni e diffondere questa vergogna, per arrivare a fermarla e a condannarla senza scusanti.
Mi auguro che queste immagini scuotano la sensibilità di più coscienze e che vorrete unirvi al nostro grido di protesta e di ferma condanna
FAROE ISLANDS:
Whales are sensitive, social animals with highly developed nervous systems. They have a profound capacity to suffer distress, terror and pain. Each year, the Faroese kill over 1500 pilot whales. The scenes of medieval cruelty are too shocking to be shown here.
Whole families of whales - including pregnant mothers, lactating females, youngsters and foetuses - are butchered by the islanders. The whales die slow deaths, screaming in agony. Their killers are often drunk.
Islanders in motorboats first drive the whales into a bay. The chase may be lengthy. The exhausted, terrified and confused whales are eventually driven into the shallows. Here the bloodbath begins. The islanders repeatedly hammer 2.2 kg metal gaffs into the living flesh of each whale until the hooks hold. A 15 cm knife is then used to slash through the blubber and flesh to the spinal column. Next the main blood vessels are severed. The blood-stained bay is soon filled with horribly mutilated and dying whales.
The Faroese celebrate the butchery of their victims in an carnival atmosphere of entertainment. Indoctinated from an early age, children are often given a day off school to watch the fun. They run down to the bay and clamber over the carcasses of slaughtered whales.
Is the suffering inflicted by Faroese whaling ethically justified? Or is whale-killing an atrocity that has no place in any civilised society?
Please get involved
