The extinction of the dinosaurs is technically the highest ratio of birds killed with one stone.

Japan and Germany got totally destroyed in WW2. But their kids didn’t become terrorists. Stop making excuses for yours.

i'm in love with this quote: "if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."

Today, we honour the brave men who answered their country’s call and fought on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. On this day in 1916, the British Army endured the bloodiest single day in its military history, suffering 57,470 casualties. Their Name Liveth For Evermore.

This breaks my heart. 💔 Look closely at this 14-year-old girl. Her name was Czesława Kwoka. In the photo, you can see a small cut on her lip and a haunting fear in her eyes. Just moments before this picture was taken, a guard had whipped her across the face with a stick. Czesława did not understand why she was being hit. She did not understand why she was in a place called Auschwitz. She was just a child, and she was terrified. Czesława was born in a small Polish village called Wólka Złojecka. She was a Catholic girl who lived a simple life until the horror of the Holocaust reached her home. In late 1942, she and her mother were deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Her mother died just a month after they arrived. Czesława was left all alone in a world of striped uniforms and barbed wire. The man behind the camera was Wilhelm Brasse. He was not a Nazi soldier. He was a fellow prisoner, a professional photographer from Poland who had been arrested because he refused to swear allegiance to Hitler. The Nazis forced him to take identification photos of every person who entered the camp. He took over 40,000 of these "mugshots," capturing the faces of men, women, and children who were marked for death. Brasse never forgot the day Czesława walked into his studio. He remembered her beauty and her absolute innocence. He watched as a female guard, a Kapo, lost her temper and struck the girl. Brasse recalled the moment vividly in a later documentary. He said: "She was so young and so terrified. The girl didn't understand why she was there and what they were saying to her. Then a female Kapo took a stick and hit her in the face." He watched the young girl cry. He saw her use her hand to wipe the blood and tears from her face before he had to click the shutter. Brasse wanted to help her, but he knew that any movement or word of protest would mean his own death. "To tell the truth, I felt as though I had been hit myself, but I couldn't intervene," he admitted. "It would have been fatal. You couldn't say absolutely anything." Czesława was murdered on March 12, 1943. She was one of 230,000 children and adolescents who were sent to Auschwitz. Most of them did not survive. When the war was ending and the Soviet army was approaching, the Nazis ordered Brasse to burn all the photographs. They wanted to destroy the evidence of their crimes. However, Brasse chose to risk his life one last time. He and another prisoner managed to hide thousands of negatives in the barracks. Because of his bravery, Czesława’s face was not erased from history. Her eyes still stare at us today, demanding that we acknowledge what happened to her. After the war, Wilhelm Brasse returned to his hometown. He tried to go back to his old life, but he found that he could no longer take pictures. The faces of the victims were burned into his mind. "Despite having a Kodak camera, I couldn't bring myself to photograph again; I had a repulsion to it," he explained. He spent the rest of his life working in a deli, carrying the weight of those 40,000 faces until he died in 2012. When we look at Czesława, we are not looking at a statistic; we are looking at a human being who deserved a future. History is made of individual lives, and it is our duty to protect the humanity of every person, especially when the world around us turns to darkness. This is only one story among thousands. Behind every photograph from Auschwitz lies a human life, a family, and a future that was stolen. The full history reveals far more than what one image can show. A 14-year-old girl. A single photograph. And a story the world was never meant to forget. Post credit on Fb to: Strange stupid or silly signs.

Why Will The Media Not Ask Andy Burnham About Operation Hexagon? There is an operation Greater Manchester Police will not name. The press will not name it either. It has a name. Operation Hexagon. A police operation was built to hunt the people who exposed the rape of children in Oldham. The man who held authority over it is walking towards Downing Street. They Built An Operation To Hunt The Whistleblowers Operation Hexagon was a joint enterprise between Greater Manchester Police, Oldham Council and Labour Party politicians. The grooming gangs were never its target. Neither were the men who shielded them. The machinery was aimed at the whistleblowers, and at the ordinary people who dared to ask how children came to be raped in Oldham. Read that back slowly. A police force and a political party, working in concert, turned on the citizens who demanded accountability. The abusers were left untouched. The people exposing them were placed under the lens. I can speak to Hexagon because Hexagon came for me. Officers were sent to build cases against me that had no foundation. They repeatedly raided my house at dawn. The Crown Prosecution Service was turned into an instrument for manufacturing evidence to put me in the dock. Every charge collapsed. Every allegation was dismissed. That is what an official police operation was made into. A machine for assembling false cases against a man whose only offence was refusing to look away while children were raped. The Authority Ran Straight To Andy Burnham Hexagon did not run in a vacuum. It ran under a chain of command, and that chain ends at Andy Burnham. As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Burnham holds the powers of the police and crime commissioner. He has held authority over Greater Manchester Police since 2017. Oldham is the epicentre of the scandal and the focus of Hexagon, and Oldham sits inside his remit. An operation of this kind, run in his force, in his region, against the critics of a cover up, does not happen beyond the reach of the man who commands the force. He has never answered for it. He stood in election after election and said nothing. The silence of the man who held the authority is itself the answer. They Buried The Whole Thing You have not read about Operation Hexagon in your newspaper. That is by design. Freedom of Information requests are refused with practised ease. The press that rushes to report every other case of police misconduct keeps its distance from this one. An operation confirmed to exist is reported as though it never happened. The blackout is the cover up that guards the cover up. The Man Who Oversaw It Is Walking Into Downing Street Here is why this matters now beyond anything it mattered before. Andy Burnham is on the road to Number Ten. The man who held authority over a police operation aimed at the whistleblowers of a child rape scandal is about to become the most powerful figure in the country. Operation Hexagon should have finished his career. It has been allowed to sit as a footnote that no one in Westminster and no one in the press will read aloud. Which is why it is left to us. Imagine this, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom dragged kicking and screaming in front of a national inquiry into the cover up of the Pakistani Rape Gangs where he is forced to testify under oath and defend his own actions. You don't have to imagine it. You just need to help me make it happen. For 8 years I've exposed how politicians and police covered up the gang rape of working-class White girls by Pakistani grooming gangs. I, with the support of the people of Oldham, led the campaign that forced the National Inquiry. Now, with your help, we will force this inquiry to a place it does not want to go. As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham fronted a series of Assurance Reviews of which one was in my hometown of Oldham. It was a cover-up of a cover-up. It tried to bury the truth. Don't believe me? Ask Maggie Oliver. Even she has come to the same conclusion. Despite Burnham's efforts to help hide what took place, we forced a national inquiry. Whilst previously defending the robustness of his now exposed cover up, Burnham is now trying his best to rewrite the truth of what he really did. Unfortunately, as of yet, the national inquiry will not investigate Burnham or his actions and his deceit will go unchallenged. We hope to change this before the investigation starts in Oldham. Once Burnham is in Downing Street, the pressure to protect him will be immense. The institutions that failed these girls will try everything possible not to hold a PM accountable. Much of the press will look away, as always. This is why it is up to us to carry the truth. Which is why I'm turning this community of readers into something more than what I can manage on my own. We need to grow and become an independent investigative outlet with: - A professional website to reach larger audiences - Video editing to make this work accessible to millions - Research support so no lead goes cold - In-person events to train people - Resources to gather evidence and report from failed communities Before Burnham reaches Number 10, Red Wall and the Rabble needs 2,000 more paid subscribers to help grow and become more than a one man operation. With your help, we can do in towns and cities across the country what we have done in Oldham. Sign Up Here 👉 redwallandtherabble.co.uk Should we succeed, politicians will go to prison. It is as simple as that. Surely, on this prospect alone, it is worth your support. Raja 🙏

The post above is an example of Holocaust denial. See our page debunking many deniers’ lies. stopdenial.auschwitz.org Learn about strategies employed by Holocaust deniers to spread misinformation and falsehoods. Online lesson: lekcja.auschwitz.org/negacjonizm_en/ Podcast: auschwitz.org/en/education/e… Denial of the existence of gas chambers is a disgraceful assault on the memory of all those people murdered in them: mainly Jews, but also Poles, Roma, Soviet prisoners of war, and all others. It is also a slap in the face to those prisoners who risked their lives to document and convey the truth about German crimes, as well as to the Survivors who still bear the trauma of their personal experiences. Holocaust denial has nothing to do with the truth. It is a mendacious conspiracy theory. A dangerous & hideous carrier of antisemitism & hatred that hurts people. Deniers harass & insult the memory of the victims.

Two Muslim men pulled an elderly couple and their grandson from a burning house in Leeds last Friday. You probably didn’t hear about it. Mohsin Qayyum. 22. Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal. 20. Both from Bradford. They drove past the garden. They saw the fire. They ran straight in. Sheila Robinson, the grandmother who was trapped inside, posted on social media: "My family and I will be forever grateful to these young men." Her granddaughter Kayla wrote: "Drove past the garden, seen it, and ran straight in and made sure everyone was okay without a second thought." Everyone got out. The house can be replaced. The family is alive. Every outlet that covered it called them heroes. They deserved every word. But not one headline told you they were Muslim men. We have seen this before. Two weeks ago, a teacher was stabbed in the neck protecting his pupils from a knife in his Manchester classroom. Maysum Abdullah. 27. Science teacher. LBC named him a hero. So did the Independent, the Manchester Evening News, the Mirror, the Sun. He ran towards the blade. A hero in every paper. A Muslim man in none of them. This is the pattern. When a Muslim name appears in a crime, the faith leads the headline. When a Muslim name appears in a rescue, it vanishes from the page. Now look at who that erasure clears the path for. Bradford, the same district these men come from, is now led by Reform as its largest party. One of their candidates, Daniel Devaney, topped the poll in his ward after writing on Facebook that Muslims were "pure scum" and that he wanted to "blast [them] off the face of the earth." He was not deselected. He was not suspended. He was elected. They are loud about our religion when they want to call it a threat. They are silent when that same religion sends two young men running into a fire. The book they want to criticise is the same book that commands us to save a life. "Whoever saves one life, it is as if he had saved all of mankind." — Qur'an 5:32 Qayyum and Iqbal lived that verse on a Friday in Leeds. Abdullah lived it in a Manchester classroom. And the headlines recorded the act, but erased the faith that drove it. When we are the suspect, our religion is the whole story. When we are the rescuer, it is not worth a line. Their names are Maysum Abdullah, Mohsin Qayyum, and Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal. Muslim men. Say both. Sources first comment.
