Sharks And Birds And Spies, Oh My! Israel “Infiltrating Pyramid History”
by Shifra on September 10, 2014In 2010, when sharks began attacking tourists at Egypt’s Sharm El-Shekih resort, Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, was accused of training the sharks to attack, in order to ruin Egypt’s tourism industry. Then, in 2011, a vulture tagged by Israeli scientists flew into Saudi Arabia … and was arrested for being a spy. And now, this: Via Jerusalem Post: ‘Israeli spies falsifying Egyptian history to show Jews built pyramids’ Israel is secretly infiltrating foreign archaeological teams in Egypt in a plot to falsify Egyptian history by showing that the Jews built the pyramids, an Egyptian researcher claimed this week. Amir Gamal of the “Non-Stop Robberies” movement told Egypt’s Elaph newspaper that Israel is attempting to prove Jewish influences on Egypt’s Pharaonic...

Sgt. Reckless: The Only Horse To Become A Marine Sergeant
by Alain41 on August 11, 2014**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By Alain41** Sgt. Reckless was a mongolian mare purchased in Korea to take military equipment up the Korean hills during the war. Received two purple hearts, liked to drink beer, and was promoted to USMC Sergeant after the war. Story is a nice antidote to Pres. Feckless, present and unaccounted for, Sir. Via NY Post: Meet the only horse to become a Marine sergeant Sixty years ago, a barrier was broken for the US military — the first animal ever was promoted to sergeant. But Reckless the horse was no ordinary beast. Serving with valor in Korea, she saved the lives of fellow Marines and was decorated with presidential citations and two Purple Hearts....

Life, Liberty And Pursuit Of Happiness. PERIOD!
by Pat_S on July 3, 2014Danielle Allen, Princeton scholar and author, contends the period after “pursuit of Happiness” in the Declaration of Independence is an error. She believes the thought about the essential nature of government in the following sentence was intended to be included as an unalienable right. Official transcript of pertinent part of the Declaration: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the...

Holocaust Remembrance Day: The Christian Who Saved 1000s of Jews
by Shifra on April 26, 2014**Bumped up from two years ago. Yom HaShoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day — falls on the 27th of the Hebrew month of Nisan – Sunday, April 27, this year** Holocaust Remembrance Day In the early 1940’s, my father was a rabbi in the Bronx, NYC. His salary was twenty dollars a week. One day, he received a phone call. It was urgent, the man said. A matter of life and death. It was about the Jews in Europe. The following Saturday morning, the man spoke to the congregation. He had “inside” information. The Nazis were planning to exterminate the Jews. The “relocation camps” were really death camps. Gas chambers. Gold extracted from the teeth of the dead, their body fat...

On Internment: Happy 70th Birthday, Korematsu v. United States?
by naga5 on February 11, 2014**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By naga5** I saw this article on HotAir and it fell from interest, so I am bringing it up again. The Supreme Court upheld that Fred Korematsu violated an Executive order that gave the military authority to force Japanese Americans to leave their homes and report to an internment camp. He refused and was arrested. The majority held that wars cause hardships and arresting citizens because of race is part of the hardship. In retrospect, the violation of due process, habeas corpus and the Court’s own violation of “strict scrutiny” should allow the Supreme Court to strike this down and Justice Scalia seems to agree. He strikes an ominous note by warning us that...

US Army War College Considers Removing Portraits of Robert E. Lee, Confederate Generals
by Tammy on December 18, 2013Generals Lee and Jackson My opinion? This would be an outrageous mistake. The South and her people were important enough for us to engage in a bloody civil war to retain. Lincoln’s plan, of course, was for reconstruction and pardons for those who pledged to support to Constitution. It was, essentially, a plan of reconciliation. This nation would be nothing without the North and South together; each half requires the other to survive. And each half makes the other better. The men who fought for the South are as critical to this country’s history as those who fought for the North. It was obviously imperative for the North to win. And yes, the South’s culture had to change, needed to...

December 16, 1773: Happy Birthday, Boston Tea Party!
by Shifra on December 16, 2013Remember in 2010, when Sarah Palin told a Tea Party crowd: “Don’t be thinking that we’ve got victory for America in the bag yet…We can’t party like it’s 1773” ? Libs jumped all over this “gaffe,” screeching that Palin was “too stupid” to know that the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. Well, seems they were too stupid to actually Google “1773.” They might have learned something. via The Weekly Standard: Happy Birthday, Tea Party: Remember, remember the sixteenth of December Two hundred and forty years ago this month, a gang of Bostonians dressed as Indians boarded the Dartmouth, the Eleanor, and the Beaver and dumped 90,000 pounds of tea into Boston Harbor. That fateful action on December 16,...

The Story Behind The Iconic Menorah Photograph
by vitadMD on December 4, 2013**Promoted from the recent Comments. Posted by VitadMD** Dear, dear Shifra… Thank you for sharing this remarkable photograph – an image with a profound message and interesting story of defiance. Fortunately, the provenance of the photo is known and is deserving of proper attribution. For anyone interested… Via JSpace.com: Tracing the Roots of the Famous Holocaust Menorah In 1931, a woman snapped a photograph of her family’s menorah in a windowsill. It was the eighth night of Hanukkah and nine white candles stood along the candelabra, set off by the German courtyard seen through the glass of the window. Just in the distance, a Nazi flag hung. The image, freezing in time a notorious piece of the past, has grown...

Reflections on Chanukah 2013
by Shifra on December 2, 2013via @ExurbanKevin; and h/t to Tammy for retweeting the pic One morning a few weeks ago, while having our coffee and checking the morning headlines, my husband suddenly put down his newspaper. “He’s a tyrant. He’s dismantling the whole country. This is like a bad dream that keeps getting worse.” I nodded. We were having many such conversations lately. Last Wednesday, at sundown, the holiday of Chanukah began. An eight-day holiday commemorating a miracle that had taken place in 2nd century BCE Judea, which at that time had been ruled by the Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks) under Antiochus Epiphanes. When the Jews were forbidden to practice their religious way of life, a rebellion broke out, and after several years of battles, the...

King Tut’s Sister Stolen in Massive Museum Heist
by Tammy on November 15, 2013Horrible, I feel sorry for Egypt. I hope the citizens are able to save their country. The destruction of important historical artifacts seems to follow where ever Islamists want to cause upheavel. Never forget the Taliban blowing up the Afgan mountain buddhas. In this story they quote “teenage” vandals. You can bet these are Islamists trying to rid Egypt of anything pre-Mohammad. Add in the factor of organized crime, selling the objects on the international antiquities auction scene, and Egypt has its hands full. Via ABC. King Tut’s sister is missing and Egypt has issued an international alert for her return. UNESCO and Interpol are working with Egyptian authorities to recover the priceless artifact, a limestone figurine of the young...

Churchill Almost Banned From Britain’s Currency
by Tammy on October 15, 2013Because they were concerned about offending the Germans. Not. Kidding. The Germans should thank the allies until the end of time for stopping them from destroying the world. In fact, if I were running the EU, here are the men who would be featured on all that currency: Churchill, Eisenhower, Patton, and FDR. Via Newsmax Bank of England officials reportedly came close to banning Sir Winston Churchill from the face of a new 5-pound note they plan to issue in 2016 because they didn’t want to upset the Germans. Previously classified documents obtained by Britain’s Daily Mail include a memo dated April 11, 2012, from officials to Mervyn King, then governor of the Bank. They warn that the “recentness of...

Before JFK, Oswald Tried to Kill an Anti-Communist Army Major General
by Tammy on October 4, 2013This is fascinating, not the least of which is the interview with Major General Edwin Walker the night after the assassination attempt where he quite correctly describes a ‘threat from within’ this country. Little did they know that same threat, the communist Oswald, would kill Kennedy just seven months later. Nor did we know at the time Johnson would then use the falsely perpetuated collective American guilt for the assassination to further every liberal legislative fantasy, leading to Johnson’s failed ‘Great Society.’ Via Smithsonian. Seven months before Lee Harvey Oswald shot President John F. Kennedy, he took his Mannlicher-Carcano rifle to Major General Edwin Walker‘s house, stood by the fence, aimed towards the window, and shot at him. Walker was...

Music Score May Have Secret Code Leading to Nazi Gold
by Tammy on September 23, 2013Neat! Via Fox News. A Dutch filmmaker has organized a series of digs for lost Nazi riches in a small Bavarian town — spurred by a sheet of music some claim is actually a coded treasure map. Spiegel Online reports Leon Giesen, 51, has led three attempts in recent weeks to unearth the rumored buried loot in Mittenwald, near the Austrian border – after the town’s officials signed off on the hunt. The strange sequence centers on the recent public revelation of an annotated score of the “March Impromptu,” a piece of music by composer Gottfried Federlein, the news agency reports. According to Spiegel Online, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler ordered his private secretary, Martin Bormann, during the final days of...
