so far helmet for my pillow reminds me a lot more of parachute infantry than it does with the old breed and im wondering if its a case that leckie and webster were both writing so soon after the war (along with both of them having journalist/literary backgrounds) meaning that the view with which they were approaching the war was very different than sledge (and others) was decades later

Japanese construction workers on Wednesday resumed landfill work at the new site of the U.S. military base on Okinawa despite protests by the island’s residents that the move tramples on their rights and raises environmental concerns.

The planned relocation site for the base, on Okinawa’s eastern coast, has been at the center of a dispute between the government in Tokyo and the local authorities at a time of the island’s growing strategic importance.[...]

Three weeks ago, the Fukuoka High Court’s Naha branch ordered Okinawa Gov. Denny Tamaki to approve the central government’s modified landfill plan, and allowed the Land and Transport Ministry to order the work to resume by overriding the governor’s disapproval.

On a barge brought to the location on Wednesday, a pair of loader machines scooped up mounds of rock and gravel and dumped them into the sea as part of reclamation needed to reinforce the extremely soft seabed at the site planned for U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma.

Tamaki, who has appealed the order to the Supreme Court, said the court ruling was unjust and goes against the will of the residents. Under Japanese law, construction can proceed while the court decision is pending. He called the resumption of the landfill work “extremely regrettable.”[...]

Tamaki, the governor, has sought a significant reduction of the U.S. military on Okinawa, which is home to more than half of 50,000 American troops based in Japan under a bilateral security pact.

Hundreds of scholars, film directors and ordinary citizens who have advocated for Okinawans’ autonomy, signed a global petition demanding the island cease to be “a de facto military colony of the United States and Japan ever since the end of the World War II.”

One of the petition organizers, Satoko Norimatsu Oka who heads the Vancouver-based Peace Philosophy Center, provided a copy of the document to The Associated Press.

“We must end the discrimination and military colonization of Okinawa,” said the petitioners, who include filmmaker Oliver Stone.

The petition urged President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to “cancel the construction of the new base in Henoko.”

Les deux quinquennats du sale môme autocentré auront une conséquence que les Français ne mesurent pas encore, à savoir l’épuisement des institutions qui sont sensées régir l’équilibre politique du pays. La cinquième république ne s’en relèvera pas, qui ressemble aujourd’hui à un poulet sans tête courant à contresens de sa propre histoire. Réformes sans débats parlementaires – ou alors d’apparence seulement, dans le souci du vernis démocratique – conseil d’État aux ordres, cour des comptes sous acides, conseil constitutionnel dévoyé, magistrature marxo-laxiste, police déboussolée, armée en délitement... plus rien ne ressemble à ce qui était, il y a vingt ans encore, un État menacé mais encore fonctionnel.

On pouvait croire alors que les corps constitués aideraient au maintien de l’équilibre, voire contribueraient à une forme de redressement. C’était mal diagnostiquer la profondeur de la plaie ouverte par l’intérêt financier – et gardée béante par un État profond soucieux de sauvegarder ses prébendes au détriment du bien commun. Cette “bourgeoisie d’ancien régime” (appelons-la comme ça pour remettre un cliché au goût du jour), n’a eu de cesse de faciliter les manœuvres économiques et financières entreprises par un sac de stipendiés mal élus, sous-marins de Wall Street, européistes détestés par leurs compatriotes. Ce dévoiement à grande échelle a liquidé l’esprit même de la “res publica”, espérance politique usée jusqu’à la corde, concept helléno-romain devenu gazeux à force d’être manipulé par des universitaires progressistes.

La société française ne repose plus que sur le bruit des médias qui gouvernent l’opinion à coups de sondages à façon, d’infos bidonnées, de guignol publicitaire et de mensonges rabâchés. Plus d’éducation donc plein d’associations, aucune justice mais des marches blanches, zéro cohésion pour des tonnes de subventions… l’hyper-marché France ne désemplit pas !

Edmond se tournait et se retournait sur la pauvre paille qui lui servait de lit depuis les longues années qu’il habitait le cachot. Il avait perdu le compte des jours quelques temps après sa captivité, mais cela devait faire plusieurs années, n’est-ce-pas ?

Une nouvelle crampe lui crispa le dos, et il changea encore de position dans le vain espoir de dénouer le nœud qui s’y était formé. La douleur ne partait pas, et le sommeil ne vint pas, alors, abandonnant l’idée de dormir, Edmond se leva et se mit à marcher en cercle.

Depuis quelques jours, une sensation de brûlure pulsait entre ses omoplates. Au départ, le dérangement n’était que très faible, la sensation à peine plus perturbante qu’une piqûre de moustique. Mais la situation avait petit à petit empiré, et désormais sa peau le démangeait terriblement. Edmond se serait bien gratté d'avantage, mais il en avait déjà irrité la zone douloureuse jusqu’au sang, et la moindre touche aggravait le sentiment de brûlure qui grouillait sous sa peau.

Il se résolut d’en parler au porte clé qui venait lui apporter sa soupe.

Ce dernier, mis au courant de l’étrange maladie qui frappait le prisonnier et soucieux de ne pas voir sa mort prélevée à sa paye, s'empressa de signaler à Edmond de se déshabiller.

“Je ne vois rien,” dit le geôlier une fois qu’Edmond eut enlevé sa chemise pour révéler son dos nu.

“Regardez encore !” demanda Edmond, désespéré de trouver la source du mal qui le tourmentait tant.

Le geôlier se pencha, lorgnant le dos du prisonnier. Les repas frugales de la prison d’If avaient rendu le prisonnier maigre, les os saillants, mais l’on pouvait encore apercevoir la silhouette des solides muscles qu’on les marins.

“Non, vraiment. Je ne vois rien.”

“Merci.” soupira le prisonnier en s’écartant tristement. 

Le geôlier n’avait aucune raison de se moquer de lui. Après tout, les portes-clés n’avaient que peu d’intérêt à le voir mort, emprisonné comme il était. C’était donc que l’homme disait la vérité, et que le mal qui déchirait le dos d’Edmond demeurait invisible.

Une fois son geôlier parti, promettant qu’il appellerait le docteur si les choses s’aggravaient, Edmond écarta sa soupe. Il n’avait pas faim. La douleur qui vrillait juste sous ses omoplates s'étendait maintenant sur toute la longueur de son torse, comme pour se moquer de sa faiblesse. Pis encore, une nausée montante rendait ses mains tremblantes et sa vue trouble. Même si son estomac avait été d’humeur, Edmond doutait qu’il eut pu porter la nourriture à sa bouche. 

Le reste de la journée s'échappa dans un flou nauséeux. Edmond était trop fatigué pour bouger, mais trop agité pour rester allongé. Il alternait donc entre les deux, plongé dans une vague brume cauchemardesque. Son cœur battait la chamade et son corps était secoué de frisson, sans que cela n’empêche la brûlure annexant son échine de le tourmenter. La fraîcheur de la nuit, loin de le soulager, empira encore son malheur.

Des vagues de crampes successives mettaient son dos à l'agonie, le laissant pantelant sur le sol froid et humide. Le moindre frottement était décuplé. Bientôt, Edmond ne supporta plus le tissu rêche de ses haillons, et avec un de ces regains d’énergies que la fièvre donne parfois, il s’empressa de les jeter au sol.

Edmond ne savais combien de temps il passa dans cet état intemporel que donne la maladie. Quelque chose de froid et gluant s’était mis à lui couler sur le dos, mais il n’avait plus la force de vérifier si ce n’était que de la sueur, ou bien du sang. Une sensation de douleur bien plus pénétrante que les autres le traversa, et Edmond ne put réprimer un hurlement.

Puis un second. 

Puis un troisième. 

C’était comme si une valve fermée s’était soudainement ouverte, libérant l'expression de toute la souffrance qui le secouait et lui coupait le souffle. Edmond se recroquevilla sur le sol, front a terre, tirant désespérément sur ses cheveux pour échapper à la torture qui le dechirait de l’intérieur. Des pas accoururent, mais perdu dans la fièvre et la douleur, Edmond ne les entendit pas.

“Mais bon sang, que se passe t-il ?!”

On le secoua, sans pouvoir provoquer plus que des gémissements. Puis, les doigts charnus qui l'avaient malmené le quittèrent. Il y eut une pause, puis d’autres cris; qui cette fois ne venaient pas de lui; puis une main contre son épaule alors qu’il tentait de se retourner pour frotter la zone brûlante au sol délicieusement froid.

“Ne bougez pas.” 

Edmond s’accorda très bien de cet ordre. Maintenant que la personne le disait, se retourner semblait en effet une bien mauvaise idée. Et puis, le sol était trop froid. Il préférait bien plus la main chaude qui était restée posée près de son cou. Une seconde vint se poser sur son front. Elle s’en éloigna presque aussitôt, et Edmond regretta la fraîcheur qui l’avait brièvement envahi à son contact.

“Mais c’est qu’il a de la fièvre, ce pauvre garçon.” Le geôlier leva la voix. “Appelez un médecin !”

Le cri, trop fort pour les sens surmené d’Edmond, lui fit l’impression d’un ballon qui éclatait dans son crâne. Ses gémissements reprirent de plus belle.

“Que se passe-t-il?” Une nouvelle voix lui transperça les tympans.

“Le prisonnier est souffrant.”

“Ça, je l’entend bien qu’il est souffrant. Cela fait une demi-heure qu’il nous casse les oreilles. Mais avez-vous une idée du mal?”

“Non. Ce matin, il parlait encore.”

Le flot de parole fut bientôt enseveli sous la vague de fièvre qui l'envahit comme un nouvel accès de crampe, tel une cruelle lance brûlante qui le perça de toute part. Sa gorge était rauque à force de crier, et le son ne sortait que par accoups étranglés. 

“Allons, allons.”

Les porte-clés, bien embêtés, tentèrent tant bien que mal d’aider lorsque ce dernier se releva sur ses coudes pour tousser. Ils ne réussissent qu'à le perturber davantage. 

Edmond voulait fuir toutes ces mains inconnues, bien trop moites, bien trop épaisses pour être celles qu’il cherchait. Il se languissait de la douceur du toucher de Mercedes contre sa peau. De lointains souvenirs remontaient le long de ses pensées confuses, prenant le pas sur les voix bien réelles qui l'entouraient.’

“C’est le milieu de la nuit. Ne peut-il pas tenir jusqu’au matin ?” l’une d’entre elle grommela. “C’est la prison, ici, pas l’hôpital.”

Une douleur, au moins dix fois plus terrible que toutes les autres, foudroya Edmond. Un cri final s’échappa de sa gorge desséchée. Il lui sembla, l’espace d’un instant, que sa peau se déchirait, mettant à nu la structure osseuse de ses omoplates et de sa colonne vertébrale. Que tout le sang de son corps se déversait le long de cette plaie sanglante, le laissant vide, sans vie.

Aussi vite qu’elle était apparue, la tortueuse agonie s’en alla, ne laissant derrière elle que les traces lancinantes d’un écho. Edmond était trop faible pour remarquer le silence qui pesa soudain entre les deux geôliers.

Le premier se tourna vers le second.

“Dites au médecin que c’est pour un ange. Il viendra.”

Le monde semblait bien lourd à présent, sans l’aiguille de la misère pour le garder éveillé. Les paupières d'Edmond se fermèrent au rythme des pas qui s’éloignent. Exténué, à bout de souffle, il ne réfléchit pas deux fois au répit qui s’offrait à lui et se laissa tomber dans le clément oubli de l’inconscience.

[Ten years ago, neo-Nazi thugs from the Svoboda party and their affiliated Right Sector militia executed a violent U.S.-backed coup to oust Victor Yanukovich, the lawful President of Ukraine.

These ultra-nationalists took Ukraine down a hate-filled path of confrontation with Russia.

When looking for someone to blame for the tragedy that has unfolded in Ukraine since that day, one need look no further than to the origins of the violence.

One can only hope that the people of Ukraine wake up and rid themselves of the cancer of Banderism.

Otherwise the Russian program of denazification will continue unabated to its bitter end.]

Kharkov to Odessa

~100 years ago, banksters in US/Europe funded a color revolution in Russia.

Two years ago, Putin started Special Military Operation (SMO) to de-Nazify and demilitarize Ukraine, a new geopolitical pawn of the same globalists who have been trying to conquer Russia since the days of Napoleon, who had his own version of NATO.

Hopefully, this will be the last time the psychopaths will poke the Russian bear.

Russian leadership is not elected to suit US.

We understand Washington would've loved a Zelensky in Moscow, ready to sell his country and people for a couple of villas. Not happening.

Oil on canvas, Charles Louis Mozin

The Capture of the Dutch Fleet at Den Helder, 23rd of January 1795

  In which the French armed forces demonstrates that not having the best navy can in fact be okay.

Context

  The French Revolution in 1789, followed by the imprisonment and then execution of Louis the XVIth in 1793, led to most major autocratic powers in Europe declaring war on France to restore the status quo. France was thus engaged on multiple fronts by many of its neighbors which, surprisingly, at the time included Austria through their ownership of the Southern Netherlands. Both Netherlandses had witnessed failed republican uprisings in the previous decades, and as such the new France Republic pushed through the Austrian Netherlands to declare war on the -nominally only- Republic of United Netherlands in the North.

The “Battle”

  After two years of campaign the combined efforts of the French revolutionary army and Dutch patriots had all but closed this front of the war, and the French commander of the Army of the North was garrisoned in Amsterdam when he caught wind of the Dutch fleet being anchored at the mouth of the Zuiderzee bay, just north of there. Due to temperatures averaging -10°C in the past weeks, the entire bay had frozen over, which he decided to use to his advantage.   He immediately sent Dutch patriot Gnl. Jan Willem de Winter at the head of about two hundred men from the French 8th Hussar and the 3rd Battalion of Belgian Skirmishers, also raised from sympathizers to the republican cause. Muffling the sound of their horses’ hooves with cloth and arriving during the night each with a Belgian infantryman riding with them, the hussars sneaked on the entire Dutch fleet frozen at anchor and captured it without a fight.

  In a single cavalry charge the French Republic had captured five ships-of-the-line, three frigates, six corvettes and several merchantmen with crew, for a total of about 850 guns. This is one of only two recorded instances of a cavalry force charging and capturing ships in a battle and one of few instances where having light infantry ride as voltigeurs proved to be even remotely useful. There is debate whether the Dutch sailors and marines would have actually resisted capture however, as the Netherlands had essentially already been knocked out of the war by then and might have been ordered to surrender, which the French may have known as well. It is hard to discern the truth of the matter when what was two hundred men sent to secure a fleet that may have already been surrendered to them gets painted as a full army corps marching in tight formation on the ice.   In any case, a squadron of hussars captured a fleet of ships and that’s awesome.

  Following the capture of the fleet, the evacuation of the remaining Allied troops to other fronts or England and finally the surrender of the Austrian duchy of Luxembourg, the Dutch Patriot party were given the reins of the Netherlands renamed as the Batavian Republic - more or less a puppet state and the future Netherlands - while the Austrian Netherlands - future Belgium - and Luxembourg were incorporated in the French Republic as new departments.   The captured fleet was ransomed back to the Batavian Republic in exchange of a small loan of a hundred million guilders.

[“The group cheered. I sat up, hugged the men on either side of me, and said I wanted a hug from each man. Everyone stood up and started embracing everyone else. What a sight it was! A whole roomful of naked heterosexual men, hugging each other like big bears, not A-frame hugs but full body hugs with love and acceptance.

When we sat in the circle to talk, John, the minister, thought the experience was “uplifting,” that my sexual warmth had been contagious. Rick was amazed by the difference between his childhood circle jerks and our masturbation ritual, where the objective was communal acceptance of selflove. He felt he’d never been able to caress his own body tenderly because he’d been afraid to like his own maleness. Roger pointed out that men usually countered their fear of liking men with anger and aggression. Sharing orgasms and naked hugs was a radical break from social conditioning. Hank, the only one who didn’t have an orgasm, said watching me was an inspiration to practice loving himself. “We’ll all be better lovers by loving ourselves more,” I answered.

There weren’t any spontaneous group hugs in my next several groups, but I included a group massage ritual that always got the men touching each other. It was even a bigger thrill for me to watch men doing massage together than women. Somehow it seemed more natural to see women touching and nurturing one another. Being with a group of nude husbands and fathers massaging each other made me nearly weep with joy. There was an esprit de corps from the gentle laying on of hands.

Working with men in the Bodysex Groups was a good way for me to confront my own stereotypes about the opposite sex. For example, in one group we did some martial-arts warm-up exercises. I showed the men the “horse” posture, standing with legs apart and knees bent, and had them punching out with fists from the waist. I was flabbergasted to see that a third of the group couldn’t do it. My stupid assumption that all men knew how to punch got blasted away. Still I loved doing the more physical things with them because they were conditioned to push beyond their limits. Women usually stopped the minute they felt any exertion, but men went beyond where they were comfortable. They inspired me to push my own limits.

One of my breakthroughs was allowing myself to act like a marine sergeant. Men knew how to take orders. When I became a no-nonsense disciplinarian, they loved it. I’d grown accustomed to never giving a women’s group a direct order because most women reacted to being pushed by going right into passive resistance. I didn’t have to baby men by making suggestions or easing them into the next activity. I simply stated what I wanted them to do, and they did it. Men had learned a different set of rules through team sports, the military, and the corporate structure.”]

Poutine répond : "Si je suis un criminel de guerre, que sont les présidents américains depuis Nixon jusqu'à aujourd'hui ?

Premier quart du XXe siècle 1901 - Oklahoma, l'armée américaine réprime la rébellion des Indian Creek. 1901-1914 - Panama, la marine américaine occupe et annexe la zone du canal. 1903 - Honduras, les marines américains répriment la révolution. 1903-1904 - République dominicaine, les marines américains répriment la révolution. 1904-1905 - Corée, les marines américains participent à la guerre russo-japonaise. 1906-1909 - Cuba : les marines américains interviennent et suppriment les élections démocratiques. 1907 - Le Nicaragua, à la suite de l'occupation, crée un protectorat dans le cadre de la "diplomatie du dollar". 1907 - Honduras, occupé par les marines américains pendant la guerre avec le Nicaragua. 1908 - Panama : les marines américains interviennent dans le processus électoral. 1910 - Nicaragua, les marines américains occupent Bluefield et Corinth. 1911 - Honduras, l'armée américaine participe à la guerre civile. 1911-1941 - Chine : la marine et l'armée américaines occupent le pays et participent à la répression de nombreuses émeutes. 1912 - Cuba, l'armée américaine participe à la guerre civile. 1912 - Panama, l'armée américaine et les marines répriment une émeute électorale. 1912 - Honduras : le corps des marines défend les intérêts économiques des États-Unis. 1912-1933 - Nicaragua : l'armée américaine occupe le pays pendant dix ans et participe à la guérilla. La liste est longue a vous de la compléter et de la déposer à la cour de justice internationale

Putin responds: "If I am a war criminal, what are the American presidents from Nixon to today? Speaking out loud the truth about the actions of American presidents and military is far from a challenge.

Toi et moi, île dans la ville, sous la pluie, mis au monde, mêlés ensemble comme la terre et l'eau avant le partage,

Pluie sur la vitre. Si j'abandonne ton corps couché et pars en songe aussi, soulève des arches de pluie, quitte la chaleur du lit, goûte le sel des eaux marines à l'horizon roulées, toute la terre accessible, pareille à un tapis,

Toi, ta parole et ton silence, ta vie et ta beauté, ton amour me ramènent inlassablement, tel un rosier sauvage qu'on allume dans la nuit, sous la pluie.

Anne Hébert
