Execution by shark attack, or “The Pig Basket Atrocity

Execution by shark attack, or “The Pig Basket Atrocity.”

In WWII the Japanese had captured several Allied resistance fighters in Java and tied them up in woven baskets used to transport pigs. Instead of just shooting the men, the Japanese wanted to dispose of their captives to ensure their enemy suffered greatly and their bodies were never found.

Japanese had little respect for prisoners during the war, regarding anyone who would suffer the humiliation of defeat without taking their own life as worse than vermin. In their eyes, these men were cowards who were afraid to commit seppuku and were not worthy of dying a humane death.

The men were loaded onto transport trucks and driven to the coast in scorching hot weather, a journey of several hours, where the men suffered dehydration and heat stroke. The baskets were then loaded onto fishing boats and driven far out to sea. When their destination had been reached, the baskets were thrown overboard into the open ocean and swarmed by sharks. Some men were likely dead from the journey, but most drowned or were torn apart by the shark’s feeding frenzy.

Vintage photographs that capture the drama and exuberance of New York in the 1970s

In this series of her earliest work,  Meryl Meisler  captures the drama and exuberance of the 1970s, when pop-psychology encouraged everyone from suburban Long Island housewives to drag queens and disco queens to self-actualise and act out. Via direct submission. All images courtesy and copyright of Meryl Meisler The photographs drift between the kitsch-filled rooms of Meisler’s hometown in Long Island to the gritty clubs and streets of disco-era New York. Meisler takes her stylistic cues from the snapshot aesthetic that was at the centre of New York’s photo world debates since the New Documents show organised by John Szarkowski at MoMA in 1967. She was inspired by Jacques Henri Lartique’s decades-long photo diary, Diane Arbus’ retrospective at MoMA in 1972 and Brassai’s effervescent Paris by Night photographs from the 1930s. These influences helped define her approach, which focused on a personal diary, the snapshot aesthetic and nightlife. Her distinct, borough-spanning visi...

Naama Levy was described by the Gazan terrorists as 'Sabaya' - meaning sex slave in the Arabic language when used by ISIS-types - before this video was taken. Now you know the full context for her bloody pants. She has been their 'sabaya' for 228 days Naama Levy. is a symbol of what has happened to many Israelis after October 7 and will never be the same.  Naama, was a peace activist before she went to the IDF as an observer- a non combatant unarmed position.  Today, another video from her kidnapping was published  Naama was a peaceful loving person.      This is her beautiful face before October 7.  Before the army Naama was a part of “hands of peace” - an activist for peace in an organization with Americans, Israelis and Gazans. She wanted “to hear the other side”  Most of us remember Naama from this horrific video of her, almost unrecognizable, paraded in the streets of Gaza like a product. Today, another video was released  This is w...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
