British Involvement in Bombing Japan

This is an angle you don't often get. Towards the end of the war Japanese soldiers were still fighting all over South East Asia. Japan itself was besieged and defenceless, and Curtis LeMay was firebombing civilians, burning tens of thousands alive, and surprise, surprise, surprise, the Japanese wouldn't surrender.
Look up the history of the Burmah-Siam railway and Mountbatten's attitude towards the Japanese for the way British Prisoners of War were treated whilst working on that railway.
See History of Burmah Oil and Orwell in Burma and Robert I Watson. Then think about this (64 seconds):
Yes, it's Paul and Linda McCartney's retirement fund. Well done.

Peter Kuznick presumably knows all about this because he's a tenured professor of history at American University. Sounds really patriotic, doesn't it?

Why France is A Safe Haven For Sex Traffickers and Paedophiles

See  Real Women/Real Stories . Is it because my father and my brother are hiding out in their house there in Laramade-d'en-Bas, Ariege? Please don't protect them on my behalf, unless you are trying to use them as a way to implicate me in whatever sick stupid shit they are balls-deep in. I can't get any fucking sense out of my mother, it's as if she's on some kind of medication. There's nothing I can do about this because I am in Cochabamba Bolivia and everybody here seems to be protecting the drug, paedophile sex and human organ traffickers because half of them have family members living in Arlington, VA! Don't expect me to #WalkAway from this. I'm going to take the whole fucking shit-show down before the end of the week. Why does everyone seem so fucking stupid?! See  Brandon Straka on #WalkAway .

Summer Bummer

Lana Del Rey, A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti Buck 65 and Francesca Andersen Summer Bomber on the $64 question: Seems like a waste of a first rate actor, giving him such a pointless job as President of the United States of America. I mean, why not let him play a rôle where he is someone who actually makes a difference?  Is it because to actually make a difference you need to be more than just an actor? Don't worry Barack Man, all my franklins are paid for, in diamonds and rust. See  Lana Del Rey

Angeles National Forest Loop Fire (1966)

Image
The  Loop Fire was a firefighting accident in the Angeles National Forest (see  10,000 Acres of San Gabriel Mountain Forest Gone Up In Smoke ) that claimed the lives of a dozen firefighters in November 1966.  The day after the disaster a comprehensive study was ordered and you get the results here . It's a quite impressive piece of work and it is still being used half a century later to train firefighters. But an investigation like this should have been ordered after every major forest fire, regardless of whether or not it involved fatalities . See  The Real Meaning of Life  and  Giant Sunspot Threatens Electric Grids With CME . What is the heat capacity of an Angel? Can anybody remember what it was like to go out with friends? I can't. I have never done anything like this in my life. But I can imagine it would be really good.
