Emails: St Kilda – Ancients British Celts, WWI, WWII, Human and Animal Tragedy! (17.9.2023)

Research suggests these people had lived on this isolated island for around 2000 years – as they spoke a very old Gaelic language mixed with the odd word of Latin and Norse! The island was attacked once by an Imperial German U-boat during Spring 1918 (which fired 60 artillery rounds at a British Telegraph Station) near the end of WWI. During WWII, after all the indigenous Celts had gone – my maternal grandfather – Arthur Gibson – (when serving in the Royal Navy on the Minesweeper – HMS Beaumaris Castle) was ordered onto the island of St Kilda (Hirta) after an aeroplane full of US Servicemen (who were returning home after fighting in Europe) -crashed into the high mountainside with no survivors.

US: Seattle Police Officer – Daniel Auderer’s – “Disgusting” Remarks on Indian Student – Jaahnavi Kandula’s – Death Spark Outrage! (16.9.2023)

“We have taken up the matter strongly with local authorities in Seattle and Washington State as well as senior officials in Washington, D.C., for a thorough investigation and action against those involved in this tragic case,” the Consulate General of India in San Francisco said in a post on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Seattle Police Department’s traffic collision investigation squad later reported that Dave struck Kandula at approximately 63 mph (101 km/h) in a 25 mph (40 km/h) area, and Kandula was thrown approximately 138 feet (42 meters).

In a statement this week, the police department said that the recording was identified by an employee “who was concerned about the nature of statements heard on that video.”

The video was sent to the city’s Office of Police Accountability “for investigation into the context in which those statements were made and any policy violation that might be implicated,” the statement said.

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is now conducting a criminal review of the crash.

Chile: Remembering the US-Inspired Tragedy of 911! (15.9.2023)

U.S.-BACKED COUP

Chile on Monday marked the 50th anniversary of the coup as people marched by the presidential palace and laid flowers for the victims. “We commemorate a date that is painful and that, without a doubt, is a turning point in our history,” said President Gabriel Boric.

In the 1970s, there were stark signs of a crisis looming large in Chile, from a divided government to soaring prices and frequent protests. The CIA financing and covert operations to destabilize the country cannot be ignored, either. For half a century, a trove of historical studies and declassified archives have shown that the United States went to great lengths to prevent the leftist Allende from coming to power and to topple his government later.

Allende had been the target of America since the 1960s when the Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union was at its height. The United States, which regarded Latin America as its “backyard”, was reluctant to see the left-wing leader be elected the Chilean president.

Declassified documents show that between 1962 and 1964, the CIA spent millions of dollars financing the campaign of Allende’s rivals and anti-Allende propaganda. These behind-the-scenes maneuvering worked as Allende lost the 1964 presidential election.

Mexico: Are Aliens Illegal? (15.9.2023)

Instead of ‘Take Me To Your Leader!’ – it is more apt to suggest ‘Take Me To Your Dealer!’ – such is the blurring of the line that usually separates fact from fiction. It would seem that the US anti-intellectualism that believes (literally) in life on other planets has spread to Mexico and as taken on ‘Catholic’ proportions of stupidity and ‘faith’ without ‘evidence’! In the meantime, whilst the US continues to ‘smart’ over the just under 3000 people who died when the Twin Towers were struck in 2001 – a US academic report states that since 1945, the US military has killed between 20-30 million people around the globe enforcing its system of predatory capitalism! If we are talking body counts (as the Americans like to do) in just an 18-month period between 1940-1941 – the Nazi German Luftwaffe inflicted 70,000 deaths on the population of the UK – 40,000 being in London alone! This was at a time when many Americans held pro-German views and were not that keen on coming on the side of the UK!

US: Lawsuit Accuses Beverly Hills Police of Racially Pofiling Black Motorists AP: (14.9.2023)

Out of a total of 1,088 black motorists stopped, only two were convicted of crimes, attorney Benjamin Crump said at a news conference, adding about a third of all arrests made during the period involved blacks, who make up only 1.5 percent of the city’s population. The suit seeks 500 million U.S. dollars in damages.

The city denied the allegations, saying in a statement that “the statistics presented referencing the number of convictions is a mischaracterization of the evidence in this case.”

“In addition, the 1,088 arrests referenced include people cited and released, not just custodial arrests,” the statement said.

“The City of Beverly Hills is an international destination that always welcomes visitors from across the country and around the world,” it noted. “The role of the Beverly Hills Police Department is to enforce the law, regardless of race.”
