The Hiroshima/Nagasaki attacks unit. I wonder if any of their aircraft is named Enola Gay or Bocks Car?

Could you imagine the inter generational trauma, that that would cause the “woke?”

They got one lot of legal fees for the youngest. Haven’t heard of any compensation. The parents and the oldest daughter exhausted all their legal avenues and lost.

“Hiroshima Tower, this is USAF aircraft “Enola Gay” requesting clearance to land..”

Nuclear is too expensive and scary (except in France and other countries that have nuclear already) and one day uranium will run out, or perhaps not, depending on technology advances.

Complete and utter bullshit. New generation nukes use much less fissionable material greatly increasing known stock life which even with old nuke tech was measured in millennia. Same with new gen coal.

Iirc she claimed sixty years if nuclear was increased by a factor of 10 ie to provide 100 percent of energy needs using current technology.

Holocaust twins turning 100 are living proof miracles happen

Phillip Maisel says he has enjoyed two miracles in his life. The first was during the war when both he and his twin sister Bella survived the Nazi extermination camps of the Holocaust. The second was in Melbourne this week, when they both turned 100.

Or did they? The letters of congratulation that these living treasures received from the Queen, the Governor-General, the Prime Minister and the Premier say their birthday is not until August 15. But that is an 80-year lie which Maisel told to the Nazis – a lie that was never corrected.

“When I was in the concentration camp I needed to hide my identity in case I escaped, so I changed my birthday from 31st July to 15th August. When we both came to Australia in 1949, I never bothered to change it back,” Maisel says with a grin.

So Phillip and Bella and their family celebrated their real 100th birthday last Sunday, July 31 – and now they will have to wait until Monday week, August 15, for it to become official.

There was also a third miracle in Phillip’s large life that could have been taken straight from the script of a Hollywood movie.

Having somehow survived a series of concentration camps, Phillip found himself stranded and alone in Germany in the months after the war with no knowledge of whether his family, including Bella, was still alive.

One day a man approached him and commented on his unusual Yiddish accent, saying he had just been at a displaced persons camp in another part of Germany where he had met a woman with a similar distinctive accent.

Phillip knew it was a “one in a million” chance that it was his twin sister Bella but he had to find out. So he took his 250cc motor­cycle that he had bought from the Soviet Red Army in exchange for fuel and rode more than 150km across Germany to the camp in Landsberg to search for the girl with the strange accent.

Bella, who had assumed Phillip was dead, says she was dumbstruck when her twin brother suddenly appeared in front of her.

“I couldn’t believe it. We looked at each other and we couldn’t talk. I was just so incredibly happy,” she says. “Then after a while we started to tell our story.”

Their family in Vilna, which was then a part of Poland, had been ripped apart by the Germans who placed Phillip and his father in a Jewish ghetto.

Two years later, Bella watched as soldiers arrested Phillip and dragged him away. They never saw each other for the rest of the war. Bella was arrested and charged with being a member of the Polish underground and was thrown into a concentration camp. Phillip was moved to a ­series of concentration camps for years, narrowly escaping death numerous times.

They learned after the war that their father was put to death by the Nazis just one day before his camp was liberated.

After the war, Phillip and Bella moved together to Melbourne, where they had an uncle, and started a new life. They both married, raised families and were happy, but in 1992 Phillip felt an itch that he knew he had to scratch.

“In my concentration camp there were three of us who made a vow,” he says. “We promised one another if we survive even for five minutes we will tell the world what the Germans have done to Jews. And because I survived I could help fulfil the promise.”

So, at the age of 70, Phillip ­devoted four days a week for the next 29 years to recording the ­testimonies of Holocaust survivors at Melbourne’s Jewish Holocaust Centre.

He has recorded 1400 of them, adding richly to Australia’s understanding of what these immigrants went through before starting a new life here.

Phillip says he loved recording the testimonies so that future generations would understand the stories of Holocaust survivors, but he admits that sometimes the horror and the heartbreak of their tales got to him.

“When I would come home (from recording) I would often think about it and feel the pain of the person,” he says. “But there was one very important thing that made me feel better – they survived. That was a very positive thing.”

Despite the horrors of the Holocaust, both Bella and Phillip still believe that humans are fundamentally decent.

“I believe that human beings are good,” says Bella.

“Unfortunately, during the war, the propaganda and the politics forced them and they lost sight of what was right.”

Phillip says: “In general I try to be positive but very often I am disappointed. Take Ukraine, for example. People are not bad but they can be misled so that even good people commit terrible atrocities. People have to be educated so that they are not willing to believe in false gods.”

Both Phillip and Bella admit that in the dark days of 1941 they could never have imagined in their wildest dreams that they would both survive the war, emigrate to Australia together and then live to see 100. “These are miracles,” says Phillip.

So is there a secret to their ­longevity and luck?

“Just be positive,” he says.

“Always be positive.”

The blog has been misbehaving ever since it went to large font in the blockquotes.

I can’t see naffink after Toad at 1:15.
Blog broken.

Look at Clorox try and go for it. He actually thinks this scares me.

Okay

That’s a threat and first thing Monday morning I’ll speak to my lawyer and get advice. I’m sure he’ll then take it to the federal police. I’m not stopping now until I find out who you are, Clorox.

You made a threat Clorox and attempts at doxing people is illegal.

After an attempt at doxing you made this threat.

I know you.

Next step is turning off your lights.

Let’s see how it works out for you, you lowlife.

If you think you’ll get away with the threat you’re in turnip land.

“I have a vague memory of someone being able to create an EMP without nuclear weapons …”

IIRC, a linear array of single-loop coils and some conventional explosive at one end.
Coil spacing, current interruption and explosive shock wave velocity arranged such that all the “edges” of the magnetic field collapse in each coil align, creating the desired sharp-edged pulse in one direction (opposite end to explosive).
Obviously less intense than nuclear, but also can be a “focused” attack too – you can take out radar, comms etc at the military sites without wiping out all the civilian infrastructure too. And of course, no radioactivity issues either. And presumably can be assembled with minimal training and little “restricted” materials.
