TampaTango posted:They make the trains run on time. People justify past cooperation with regimes by only remembering how well things worked, not how many people disappeared. What chills me the most were the killing of defectives by the Nazis. Anyone could be called genetically defective. This is usually pretty exaggerated by propaganda though. Mussolini, who that phrase is associated with, definitely didn't keep the trains running on time.

Yeah, Andrew Jackson is an affably entertaining guy in the tradition of "baddasses from history," but he's also probably the closest thing America has to a Hitler.

Having Jackson on the twenty is such a beautiful gently caress you to the bastard, intentional or not. Dude despised banks and fiat currency.

 http://www.thomas-morris.uk/beetle-in-bladder/ quote:A robust young man of 23, who had never been ill except just previously of fever, was attacked suddenly by symptoms of the most acute inflammation of the urinary bladder, with intense desire to make water, pains in the perineum, and discharge of mucous flocculent and bloody urine...After suffering intensely for five days, he found himself unable to pass his water, and this evidently from some mechanical obstruction in the urethra. To relieve this, the author was sent for; but before a catheter could be introduced, he discharged a body, of the size of a pea, covered by purulent matter; it was followed by the escape of a considerable quantity of urine, mixed with pus, and immediate relief of all his symptoms. On closely examining the discharged body, it was found to contain a little beetle (Ptinus fur), which died directly on its exposure to the atmosphere.

Something Awful's own unnerving story has been featured in GQ: http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/syria-isis-kevin-dawesquote:In the early hours of 21 September 2012, Kevin Dawes arrived at a hotel on the outskirts of the Turkish border city of Antakya on a mission to get into Syria. Lugging a helmet, a suitcase full of medical supplies and a bulletproof vest, the wiry, self-taught Korean-American had already attracted attention at the airports he passed through. Likely, he thought, he was already being tailed; after two days of travelling from his home in San Diego he was too tired to care. "Fell asleep, woke up," he tapped to a friend online later that day. "Feels like Ewoks beat me up." At least there was Wi-Fi. Over the next two weeks Dawes would fire off thousands of direct messages via Twitter from his hotel room to the only two people still talking to him, neither of whom he'd ever met.

Yeah that bit about the March 2015 negotiations make it sound hopeful but that was almost a year ago. And before that the one guy in GBS who had contact seemed to be pretty sure Caro was dead in a torture prison.

Uh weren't there reports of someone seeing a badly tortured American-English speaking prisoner matching his description begging for death in one of Syria's most notorious prisons? I can't remember if that was Brown Moses who said that or not but I remember it seeming pretty legit and conclusive at the time

Yeah they covered it in the story.quote:I phoned Fatima Khan and asked if her son mentioned any Americans he'd come across in prison. "I know what you want," she said without any hesitation. "And yes: Kevin Dawes." Really don't know how they can be at all optimistic after that, especially since that was two years ago and that woman's son was killed even after they said they'd release him

It's been posted in this thread before, but not recently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brabant_killers Over the course of three year in the 80's, a group of robbers murder 28 people in Belgium while stealing relatively low amounts of cash from supermarkets. They've never been identified.

Most phone makers apparently rely on the one company to provide data for the location services. If their database is wrong it will effect everyone. In another thread where this popped up I guessed it is the previous occupants wireless AP is what the phone is basing the location on and the location services haven't updated the location of that device yet.

I bought this book after constant recommendations in this thread, and I thought it was a really good read up until he switches from describing the case to the court proceedings. He's a great writer, he knows how to set a scene without sensationalizing too much of the crime, but there was some line that made me unable to continue reading; something about how apparently Atkins (or whoever it was that tried to assassinate...I want to say Gerald Ford?) was stalking him with some other Family members. So Bugliosi apparently turns around, goes up to her face and tells her to gently caress off in a manner similar to something you'd see in the shitthatdidn'thappen.txt thread; I know it's a petty reason to disregard a perfectly good novel, but those three pages came off as unnecessary and only served to make the author look more impressive. Vince did a great job telling Manson's life story, and talking about the crime sprees while capturing the national panic that spread through those years.

Well, Vince Bugliosi was a prosecuting attorney with a storied record, probably the most famous since Clarence Darrow or whatever. You can forgive the guy thinking he was Muhammad Ali.

His book about the OJ Simpson trial was pretty good too. I've also heard good things about his massive book about the JFK assassination.
