WE REMEMBER COHEN 1965 HIS DEATH SAVE THOUSANDS OF JEWS

Cohen was captured and tortured for information, but never broke. He was sentenced to death and was publicly hanged on May 18, 1965.

His sacrifice undoubtedly saved hundreds if not thousands of Jewish lives. May his memory be a blessing.

58 Years Since the Passing of Eli Cohen – "Our Man in Damascus"

Eli Cohen was an Egyptian-born Mossad agent who successfully infiltrated the Syrian government and became the trusted confidante of the Syrian Prime Minister, Minister of Information, and various upper echelon military generals.

In 1961, Cohen moved to Argentina in order to build his cover for his secret identity - Syrian businessman Kamel Amin Thaabet. After a year in Argentina, Cohen moved to Syria and started to climb the ranks of the Syrian Government, reaching the position of Chief Adviser to the Minister of Defense. It was said that he was even being considered for the role of Deputy Defense Minister.

In 1965, Syria upped its search for a mole within their ranks, and using new Soviet technology, discovered Cohen passing information to Israel. Although this is the accepted story, the Mossad has reiterated that the reason behind Eli's capture is still unknown.

Cohen was captured and tortured for information, but never broke. He was sentenced to death and was publicly hanged on May 18, 1965.

The intelligence that Eli passed over to Israel was invaluable and his bravery was a major factor in helping Israel defeat the Syrians in the Six Day War.

His sacrifice undoubtedly saved hundreds if not thousands of Jewish lives. May his memory be a blessing.

War crime hangings at Landsberg in May 1946. With special thanks to Traugott Vitz for his help with this article. Over two days at the end of May 1946, 28 German war criminals were hanged at Landsberg am Lech prison in Germany (US War Criminals Prison No. 1). The Dachau concentration camp was liberated by two divisions of the U.S. Seventh Army on the 29th of April, 1945.  40 members of it staff were tried at the camp by a US General Military Court, presided over by Brigadier General John Lenz. The trials lasted from the 15th of November to the 13th of December 1945.  36 defendants received the death sentence.  Eight of these sentences were reduced to terms of imprisonment by the Reviewing Authority, the remaining 28 death sentences being confirmed.

Freedomite

Image
Freedomite The  Freedomite  movement consists of a split-off of the Doukhobors, a community of Spiritual Christians began a mass migration from Russia to Canada in 1898. The Freedomite movement first appeared in 1902 in Saskatchewan, and later in the Kootenay and Boundary Districts of British Columbia. Freedomites began to divide from Doukhobors in 1902 in Saskatchewan, Canada, self-named as "God's people" and  Svobodniki  (Russian: "sovereign people"). The faction, later called "Freedomites", opposed land ownership, public schools, using work animals, etc. and are mainly known for protesting nude. By 1920 the common English term for them became  Sons of Freedom . Of about 20,000 active Doukhobors in Canada today, ancestors of about 2,500 were Freedomites, and many descendants have joined the USCC Community Doukhobors.

THE RED ROOMS OF THE DEEP WEB

Image
THE RED ROOMS OF THE DEEP WEB This topic seems so simple that it is almost obvious, but you will find that it is far from so. Many of us, even just out of curiosity, have tried to inform us on the internet if there really is a deep web and to what extent sites go down illegally. The Red Room would be "the apotheosis of illegality", where through a live streaming viewers can decide the fate of a victim, even going as far as his death. But do such sites really exist or are they an urban legend? I will try to get there by steps. The term "Red Room" derives from the Japanese metropolitan legend "Red Room Curse", which in turn refers to a horror animation created in Adobe Flash of 2000 in Japan. So if we really want to be picky, we will never find a site called "Red Room" on the deep web (unless the authors are very, very stupid). Until a few years ago the red rooms were considered a hoax invented by some perverted individual and with a bad morality, ...

Lina Medina the youngest confirm mother

Image
Lina Medina the youngest confirm mother Lina Medina was a Peruvian girl who was born in 1933, and she is the youngest confirmed mother in medical history. At the age of five, her parents brought her to a hospital in Pisco, Peru, because they believed she had a tumor that was causing her abdomen to protrude. However, the doctors determined that Lina was actually about seven months pregnant. Lina gave birth to a healthy baby boy via caesarean section on May 14, 1939, at the age of five years, seven months, and 21 days. The identity of the biological father has never been determined, and there have been various theories and speculations about how Lina became pregnant at such a young age. Some have suggested that she may have been the victim of sexual abuse, while others have proposed that she may have had a rare hormonal condition that caused early puberty and fertility. Lina and her son were raised by her parents, and both lived relatively normal lives. Lina never revealed the identity o...

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women.

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women. Women in concentration camps were subjected to brutal treatment and often faced more severe conditions than their male counterparts. The conditions in the camps were inhumane, and women were often subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experiments. Women were treated differently in concentration camps than men. They were often separated from their families, forced to perform hard labor, and subjected to sexual abuse. Women who were pregnant were also subjected to harsh conditions and medical experimentation. Many women were killed, either as part of the genocide or because they were deemed too weak to continue working. One of the most notorious concentration camps where women were held was Auschwitz-Birkenau. There, women were subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experimentation. Many were killed in gas chambers or through other forms of execution. The camp was designed ...

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski

Image
The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski This is a shocking image and I apologize in advance for sharing it, but here’s one that truly got to me… in Belarus, 1918, after WWI had already ended, the brave Russian officer Rosinski was captured by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of the man, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. He was ‘the enemy’ and he was at their mercy, so they brutally murdered their captive. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. All this while still alive. Alfred Savoir, the man who published the picture and was an eye witness to the death of the brave military officer, described "M. B.", who ordered this atrocity, thus: I knew him not long ago; he was a charming teenager with an ironic wit and joker. He was rubbed with French culture, he admired the novels of Barres and he quot...

The Ocean Sunfish.

Image
The Ocean Sunfish. Also known as the 'Mola Mola', the Ocean Sunfish is the largest fish in existence, measuring up to 4 meters in height and 3 meters in length, with an enormous weight estimated between 200 and 400 kg. With its unique oval shape and a caudal fin resembling that of a shark, it is a completely harmless species. You might wonder why it suffers so much. Well, it is the perfect prey for all predators in the ocean: it is slow, clumsy, large (making it easy to spot and catch), with a thick layer of fat and skin (15 cm thick), a practically harmless set of teeth (as it feeds almost exclusively on plankton), and very limited reflexes. Because of these characteristics, the Ocean Sunfish inhabits the most central, isolated, and remote areas of the ocean, far away from the coasts and their proximity (which are rich in predators). Unfortunately, if this creature comes into contact with a shark, an orca, or a sea lion, its fate is inevitably the following: ...
