  They shot him in cold blood not because he was a Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya or SC. They shot him at point blank range in front of his newly wedded wife not because he spoke Kannada, Tamil, Hindi, Oriya or Bengali.  They didn’t care if he was a BJP voter, Congress voter, or SP voter. They did not care if he was a proud Hindu or a communist or a ‘proud secular’ who believed in Aman Ka Tamasha.  They slaughtered this innocent man simply because he was born a Hindu, they were Muslims and for them, he was a Kafir!  At the end of the day, that is the ONLY truth.

Emotionally Dead has to be the Worst Death!  Bone Pointing ...  A strange method of execution used by Aborigines. Supposedly the practice never fails to kill despite the fact that the victim is never physically harmed. The practice leaves no trace whatsoever on the condemned. This practice is carried out by a Kurdaitcha, or a ritual executioner. The name Kurdaitcha comes from the slippers that the Kurdaitcha wear. These slippers, made of cockatoo or emu feathers and human hair are completely silent when the user walks in them. The Kurdaitcha will use this silence to quickly hunt down the person to be killed if the person has fled. Once the person is caught the Kurdaitcha will go down onto one knee and point the kundela, or killing bone (which will have been charged with a psychic energy in a previous ritual), at the condemned.  At this point the victim is said to be completely frozen in fear. The Kurdaitcha will then chant a curse. Afterwards the Kurdaitcha and fellow hun...

  We immediately started to protest. We said we were forced to, that they couldn't do this to us, they didn't have the right to  Doing it, it was against the Geneva Convention, and we never would. But they laughed at us, you know, they just laughed. They said they could do with us what they wanted. " One of the most heinous  war crimes committed by the Japanese Imperial Army in Southeast Asia during World War II was the ruthless sexual exploitation of 200,000 Asian women (Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Filipino, Korean and even Japanese) and 200  -300 Dutch and 30 Australian women. During the war the imperial army, worried about the spread of venereal diseases, decided to open a chain of brothels in all the conquered territories in order to avoid this problem (this was an example of what had happened in India in the nineteenth century where the  he British army had opened brothels which had had to close following outcry at home causing a great spread of ...

  “More of our men died—so fast that you couldn’t keep track of their numbers,” wrote Tony Acevedo, an American soldier fighting in World War II. “We kept on marching." On this day in 1945, Tony and members of the US Army’s 275th Infantry Regiment were captured by the Germans and held prisoner for 15 weeks. Much of what we know about their experiences is due to a diary Tony secretly kept while in captivity.  A Mexican American who had faced discrimination because of his heritage, Tony nonetheless enlisted at age 17 with his father’s permission after the US government called for volunteers. He became a medic.  After only a few weeks in combat, Tony and the men of his company were forced to surrender to the Germans when they ran out of ammunition and food during the Battle of the Bulge. They faced physical and emotional abuse at the hands of their German captors. Tony was tortured and sexually assaulted.  The soldiers were fed starvation rations and forced to wo...

  Combat stress reaction is an acute reaction that includes a range of behaviors resulting from the stress of battle that decrease the combatant's fighting efficiency.  In World War I, shell shock was considered a psychiatric illness resulting from injury to the nerves during combat. The nature of trench warfare meant that about 10% of the fighting soldiers were killed (compared to 4.5% during World War II) and the total proportion of troops who became casualties (killed or wounded) was about 57%. Whether a person with shell-shock was considered "wounded" or "sick" depended on the circumstances. Soldiers were personally faulted for their mental breakdown rather than their war experience. The large proportion of World War I veterans in the European population meant that the symptoms were common to the culture. In World War II it was determined by the US Army that the time it took for a soldier to experience combat fatigue while fighting on the front lines was...

  He was brought to the place of execution along with 10 other prisoners, five men and five women.  The convicts were on the backs of 11 trucks, bound hand and foot. Pauls was collared with a noose at the center of the central gallows and pushed out of the truck. On one side of him, Gerda Steinhoff, on his other side, an unknown Kapo. It is generally believed that the execution was filmed. Above: on one end of the gallows row, the truck has just pulled away from Jenny Wanda Barkmann — a modish Hamburg lass in her mid-20’s known to Stutthof prisoners as “the Beautiful Specter” for her cruelty. Down the row, one can see that some of the prisoners are already swinging, while others have not yet been dropped. Upon hearing her sentence, Jenny Barkmann retorted, “Life is indeed a pleasure, and pleasures are usually short.” (More about Barkmann, including trial photos, here.) In this closer view of her, just as in the first photo, she is still alive and struggling. Next to her, Ewa P...

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 eventual execution. It was a deliberate tactic aimed at br...

  When the corpses arrive at the autopsy, they arrive with the clothes in which they died and it is the expert's job to undress them to start the necropsy. Many times the deceased arrive with the facial expressions they had at the last moment (fear, tranquility, anger, sadness), sometimes even with tears. Medical examiners give us a scientific explanation as required by their work, but through personal experiences they have had to combine science and their beliefs. Such is a case where under investigation it was possible to find a grave of a professor who had been kidnapped, murdered and buried week ago in a distant place. When he was exhumed, he was still in his uniform and was in a fetal position and his face reflected a deep sadness, the work of undressing him without cutting his clothes (the whole clothes are preserved for analysis) was practically impossible for the experts given cadaverous rigidity. It was when the coroner arrived and said I'm going to tell you h...

  This is a newly freed slave with a blacksmith cutting his shackle off: This photo was taken in 1907 after Slavery was outlawed in most of the known world—but still being practiced as part of the Arab slave trade. The British frigate had intercepted a slaving ship and freed several men. This man was saved off the coast of Oman, just prior to being sent into longer-term slavery—by the skin of his neck. The photo always struck me. It's one of the very rarest photos of someone being freed from slavery—literally.

  It happened in 2014, an Indian named Shyam Lal Yadav saw a bump grow after hitting his head. For years, his barber took care of this matter. Eventually, however, no matter how often it was cut, the growth continued to grow, eventually reaching 10cm in height from the man's head. As the images show, that protuberance had every appearance of a horn. It became too long and too difficult to manage, to the point that the man had no choice but to seek help from a surgeon in hospital. The growth, called a sebaceous horn, is a tumor, often benign, that forms from keratin in the skin and nails. They usually grow on the face, hands, ears and nails. Neurosurgeons at Bhagyoday Tirth Hospital in Sagar removed the "horn" and the man is now recovering from the surgery. Surgeon Vishal Gajbhiye explained, “About 5 years ago, the patient had hit his head, after which a lump started growing. In medical terms, this type of growth is called sebaceous horn (devil's horn). Because the hor...

  On this day in 1945, Americans capture the city of Cologne, Germany. The town had already been shattered by years of aerial raids. Now, as World War II was coming to an end, Germans began to flee before the oncoming American tanks. Yet the commander of one German Panther tank refused to go. Instead, he made a last stand in front of Cologne Cathedral, one of the few buildings to remain mostly intact. The Panther tanks were heavier and tougher than the American Sherman tanks. Indeed, that Panther soon knocked out a pair of M4 Sherman tanks, killing or wounding several of our soldiers. But Americans had another, newer tank: the Pershing. One crew was nearby and swung into action. Its commanding officer hoped to attack the Panther from a side street before the Germans knew what was coming. The move was nearly fatal. Inside the German tank, the crew sensed that something wasn’t right. The tank’s turret was turned so that its muzzle was aimed at the side street. Just then, the Pe...

  Richard Earl Bush of Glasgow, Kentucky, a U.S. Marine Corps master gunnery sergeant, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary actions in Okinawa on April 16, 1945. Bush enlisted in the USMC in 1942. He served with the Marine Corps Raiders in the Pacific, and while with the Raiders, he was promoted to corporal. On April 16, 1945, Cpl. Bush was serving in the 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, 6th Marine Division. Cpl. Bush led his men in a charge against an enemy stronghold. During the assault, he placed himself on a thrown enemy grenade, absorbing the force of the explosion and saving the lives of his fellow Marines and corpsmen.  In World War II, twenty-seven Marines similarly used their bodies against thrown enemy grenades in order to save their comrades’ lives. Bush was one of four who survived. He lost several fingers and sight in one eye. In the years following the war, Bush worked for the Veterans Administration until 1972 as a counselor helping veterans f...

  The prisoner is generally tied to a gun with the upper part of the small of his back resting against the muzzle. When the gun is fired, his head is seen to go straight up into the air some forty or fifty feet; the arms fly off right and left, high up in the air, and fall at, perhaps, a hundred yards distance; the legs drop to the ground beneath the muzzle of the gun; and the body is literally blown away altogether. "Blown from a gun" was a punishment often used by colonial powers against locals who believed their body parts must be together to enter the afterlife.  It was reserved as a special punishment when just death wasn't enough. Local feral dogs would usually eat the pieces of the dead that could be found.

  Robert Craig, born in Scotland and raised in Toledo, Ohio, was a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions on July 11, 1943, near Favoratta, Sicily. Craig entered the Army in February 1941, was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of Infantry and served with the 15th Infantry of the 3rd Infantry Division.  On July 11, 1943,  during his service leading troops in Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily, Craig set out to destroy an Italian Army machine gun nest that had halted the advance of his company,  making his own attempt following the wounding of three other officers who had tried to locate and silence that machine gun emplacement. Craig located the enemy position and killed its three crewmen. As his company advanced, Craig and his platoon encountered the fire of enemy soldiers. Craig ordered his men to withdraw to cover while he drew the enemy fire on himself.  From a kneeling ...

 UNBELIEVABLE: Lady Who Spend 23 Years Growing Her Nails Crowned The Woman With Longest Fingernails(Photos) A nail artist who has spent 23 years growing her nails which takes a week to paint, has been crowned with title of the world's longest fingernails by Guinness World Records. A nail artist from Houston, Texas, identified as Ayanna Williams,  has been crowned with the title of the world's longest fingernails by the 2018 Guinness World Records, and in total her nails measure more than 18 feet long, each of which is just under two foot long. She has also revealed that the most challenging thing about having extremely long fingernails, which can take up to one week to paint, is pulling up her trousers. While she's constantly getting lots of attention for her nails, and knows she is rather unique, her friends and family think it's quite normal. In order to take care of her nails, Ayanna uses anti-bacterial soap and a nail brush to clean them daily. And to help them grow...

2th October 1945. Private First Class Desmond T. Doss of Lynchburg, Virginia, is presented the Medal of Honor for outstanding bravery as a combat medic, the first conscientious objector in American history to receive the nation’s highest military award. When called on by his country to fight in World War II, Doss, a dedicated pacifist, registered as a conscientious objector. Eventually sent to the Pacific theater of war as a medical corpsman, Doss voluntarily put his life in the utmost peril during the bloody Battle for Okinawa, saving dozens of lives well beyond the call of duty. During World War II, over 70,000 men were designated conscientious objectors, mostly men whose religious beliefs made them opposed to war. Some refused to serve, but 25,000 joined the US armed forces in noncombat roles such as medics and chaplains. Desmond T. Doss of Lynchburg, Virginia, was one of those men, though he personally shunned the title of conscientious objector. Doss, born in 1919, was raised...

  Today 108 years ago, on October 9, 1915, the Serbian capital of Belgrade was captured by German and Austro-Hungarian forces during the "Triple Invasion" of 1915.  Belgrade was shortly occupied by the Austro-Hungarians on December 2, 1914, before the Serbs recaptured the city on December 15, 1914, during the Battle of Kolubara. .  Belgrade was captured for good by the Central Powers on October 9, 1915, as a joint German, Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian offensive forced the Serbian Army to retreat through Montenegro and Albania. .  To accompany this photograph I'll recite the lyrics of Sabaton's song "Last Dying Breath":    ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "War begun, the Kaiser has come Day or night, the shells keep falling, Overrun, but never outdone, Street to street, denying defeat. .  The British notably used Soldiers of the Serbian Army  Keep your heads held high,  Overrun, you fall one by one, Fo...

  US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of striking a cargo ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz. On Thursday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a Royal Navy maritime security agency, said a cargo vessel had been struck by an “unknown projectile” about 7.5 nautical miles (14km) southeast of Dahit, Oman. No casualties were reported. The incident happened despite the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by the US and Iran last week which ended hostilities and included provisions aimed at reopening the strategic waterway. Since the MoU was signed, commercial traffic has resumed through the strait, but key disagreements remain over which shipping routes vessels should use and whether Iran should be allowed to charge a toll or transit fee. Oman and the United Nations’ International Maritime Organization (IMO) proposed a new shipping corridor that would partially bypass waters under Iran’s direct control, but Tehran rejected the proposal, saying it was a...

  Have you heard a Sky burial? Can you imagine how sky burial is practiced?  We have so many burials in the world. But in Upper Dolpo, people mostly practice sky burial after people die. Why Dolpo Region  People practice sky burial? It is because of the main teaching of Buddhism. That is impermanence.

  Kostiantynivka, a city in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk province, has come under intense bombardment in recent days. Thick grey smoke pours from the roof as the firefighters arrive at a brick house, one of several homes hit by Russian shelling in a residential neighbourhood in Kostiantynivka. The city in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk province has come under intense bombardment in recent days amid a Russian push to capture nearby Bakhmut, where Ukrainian forces have held on throughout a grinding battle that started last summer. Ukrainian authorities say Russian forces are attacking Kostiantynivka with cluster bombs and missiles. Pavlo Kyrylenko, the governor of Donetsk province, said one person was killed and at least three civilians wounded after several rounds of Russian shelling on Saturday. An attack on the city a day earlier injured eight people and destroyed or damaged more than a dozen houses. The barrages have overwhelmed local firefighters, who take great risks putting ou...

  MOSCOW, June 18 (Reuters) - The blast was so powerful that the huge disc-shaped lid of an oil storage ​tank was launched into the sky over Moscow like a frisbee. Evading Russian air defences, Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in southeast ‌Moscow on Thursday for the second time in three days, igniting a fierce blaze that spewed out clouds of black smoke. The attacks are part of a wider Ukrainian campaign to cripple the oil industry whose revenues finance Russia's war effort. But by striking with apparent impunity at a piece of critical infrastructure located inside Moscow's ring road, just 16 km (10 miles) from ​the Kremlin, Ukraine is also sending a message to ordinary Russians. "One of the most popular questions asked by Muscovites this morning is 'What is ​going on?' I can answer. Your country started a war of aggression against ours. For years, it has been killing ⁠our people. Now that you know what's going on, ask Putin when he is planning to end i...

  The  Iran–Iraq War , also referred to as the  First Gulf War  ( Gulf War I ) and the  First Imposed War , began with the Iraqi invasion of Iran in September 1980. After eight years of conflict, both countries accepted a ceasefire deal brokered by the United Nations, which became effective in August 1988. The war caused around 500,000 deaths (excluding numbers from the related Anfal campaign), making it the deadliest conventional war ever fought between regular armies of developing countries. In starting the war, the Iraqi government—led by President Saddam Hussein—primarily wanted to prevent Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran's leader following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, from exporting Iran's new state ideology to Iraq. Iraq also feared that Iran, being a theocratic state mostly composed of Shia Muslims, would rally Iraq's Shia majority against the Sunni Muslim-controlled Baʽathist government. Iraq also wished to...

  SOUTHCOM said it notified the US Coast Guard about the ‘six male survivors’ without providing details of their rescue. The United States military says it has carried out another attack on an alleged drug trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing at least two people. The attack on Sunday brings the total number of vessels hit to more than 60, with more than 210 people killed, since the US began its operation dubbed “Southern Spear” in September US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said in a post on X on Monday that the boat was operating along a known drug-smuggling route but provided no evidence that it was carrying narcotics. SOUTHCOM said it notified the US Coast Guard about the “six male survivors” without providing details of their rescue or condition. Grainy black-and-white video footage accompanying the post showed a boat moving through the water before being struck with a projectile and engulfed in a large explosion. In a similar incident on June 16, US Cen...

  WASHINGTON — The U.S. struck Iran on Friday in response to a drone attack a day earlier on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz. It's the most significant test yet to an interim understanding reached a week ago by the two countries to begin working to end their months-long war and reopen the pivotal waterway. U.S. President Donald Trump said the drone attack violated the ceasefire. The strikes came shortly after Trump told reporters, "You'll find out," whether the U.S. would respond. U.S. Central Command said the military struck missile and drone locations and coastal radar sites in Iran. "I don't like the fact that they took a shot yesterday, actually four of them," Trump said at the White House shortly before the U.S. struck back. When asked why there would be strikes when Trump has insisted talks with Tehran are going well, Trump said of Iran: "They're a little bit different." He then abruptly cut off questions and repor...

  At least 920 people are confirmed dead and more than 51,000 missing after two earthquakes struck Venezuela on Wednesday. Rescuers are racing against time in Venezuela, three days after two powerful earthquakes struck, with at least 920 people confirmed dead and more than 51,000 still missing. The twin, magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 quakes hit on Wednesday, devastating the coastal area around La Guaira, where authorities moved on Friday night to restrict access as traffic chaos began to hamper search efforts. ging through rubble with their hands, with aid agencies warning the critical 72-hour survival window is closing fast. Officials said anyone who wants to enter the area around La Guaira would now have to seek official permits, but provided few details of who would be allowed in. People reported seeing few state rescue teams in the hardest-hit areas, despite authorities projecting an image of a robust government response. “Each person saved is a miracle,” said Jorge Rodriguez,...
