Narration: The Meiji Jingu Gaien Stadium is smoky with autumn rain. In this sacred place where martial arts practices and matches are held, a ceremony to send students to the battlefield was solemnly held in the early morning of October 21. The young men, summoned by the Emperor, were to go to the battlefield.
Student representative: Salute to His Excellency Prime Minister Tojo.
Prime Minister Tojo: The day has come for the young men and women of the empire to bravely embark on the path of world domination, to uplift the spirit of our ancestors, to destroy our enemies, and to support the fate of the emperor. Today is the day to liberate the billions of people of Greater East Asia from the colonial rule of the U.S. and Britain on the basis of morality, and return them to the way they should be. I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. Of course, there will be many young students just like you on the battlefields of America and Britain. But you will surely overwhelm and destroy them with your spirit and fighting power.
Student Representative: The edict of mobilization of students has been promulgated. For a long time, students who could only spew a little patriotism inside and outside the school can bravely follow the military service by the holy edict. I cannot stop being impressed and excited. We will carry bayonets, we will surely kill the enemy, we will devote all our years of hard study and dedication to this honorable task, and we will destroy the enemy by devoting ourselves to it. I have no intention of leaving alive. To repay the debt of gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor, I will surely live up to his expectations. I hereby make public a part of my determination, and this is my reply. Student Representative, October 21, 1943.
Prime Minister Tojo: Today is the first step toward your very happy conquest. I would like to join you all in singing the Hail Mary,"Hail Emperor, BANZAI BANZAI BANZAI"
All students: "BANZAI! BANZAI!BANZAI!"

Inejiro Asanuma was an outspoken member of the Japan Socialist Party, who declared that the United States was “the shared enemy of China and Japan.” He was running for office in the lower house of the National Diet, Japan’s version of parliament. The outspoken politician also saw hope in Mao Zedong, the Communist leader of China.
Otoya Yamaguchi saw Asanuma as an affront to his idea of the proper Japanese way of life. The Great Japan Patriotic Society, one of the Uyoku dantai of which Yamaguchi was affiliated, held that the Emperor was the authority in Japanese affairs. But since the end of World War II, the emperor no longer wielded any political power. The organization, then, wanted a return to the traditional ways of Japan without any Western influence at all.

The Assassination Of Inejiro Asanuma
Asanuma addressed an audience through a microphone while the TV station NHK broadcasted the debate on live television from Hibiya Hall on that doomed October day.
Asanuma raised his left hand to make a point. People in the crowd shouted something over the politician’s voice, either in disagreement or to try to heckle him. Police then tried to break up a group of 100 students in the Great Japan Patriotic Society, who were getting rowdy.
Then, Asanuma’s gaze suddenly shifted to the left. The TV cameras captured Otoya Yamaguchi, dressed in his school uniform, crash into the candidate with something in his hand.
It was a samurai sword about one foot long.
Otoya Yamaguchi was 17-years-old as he sat anonymously in an audience of some 100 members of the Great Japan Patriotic Society in October 1960. The young student watched the head of the Japan Socialist Party, Inejiro Asanuma, hold a political debate.Until, without warning, Yamaguchi rushed the stage. In a flash of silver steel and on live television, the student made a deadly stab for the politician.

In 1676, when the Ottoman Empire, which had occupied land west of the Dnieper River in what is now Ukraine, was busy violently expanding its already massive borders, they ended up losing a battle to the Zaporozhian Cossacks who lived “across the river”.
Despite his relatively heavy loss, the exceedingly ballsy Ottoman Sultan Mehmet IV had a letter written and sent to the Zaporozhian Cossacks demanding their unconditional surrender and subjugation. It went something like this:
"As the Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the sun and moon; grandson and viceroy of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; emperor of emperors; sovereign of sovereigns; extraordinary knight, undefeated; steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; steward chosen by God himself; the hope and comfort of Muslims; confounder and great defender of Christians – I command you, the Zaporozhian Cossacks, to submit to me voluntarily and without resistance, and to desist from troubling me with your attacks.
-Sultan Mehmed IV"

In any case, the Zaporozhians weren’t into surrendering. Having none of it, the Cossacks are said to have written a letter I’m sure none of their grandmothers would have approved of. Cossack military leader Ivan Sirko, the guy with the pipe in the painting below, artfully sat down with his buddies and a few casks of vodka, a quill and got to work, replying:
"O Sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil’s kith and kin, assistant to Lucifer himself. What the Devil kind of knight are thou, that canst not slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil shits, and your army eats. Thou shalt not, thou son of a whore, make subjects of Christian sons; we have no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee. Fuck thy mother. Thou Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig’s snout, mare’s arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw thine own mother! So the Zaporozhians declare you to be a lowlife. You won’t even be herding pigs for Christians. Now we’ll conclude, for we don’t know the date and don’t own a calendar; the moon’s in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day’s the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!
– Koshovyi Ataman Ivan Sirko, and the entire Zaporozhian Host."

The massive 887 stone statues or moai built in Easter Island by the Rapa Nui are unique. Although there are stone figures in other Polynesian islands none of them are of the size of the Easter Island statues. The largest finished statue reaches more than 30 feet or 9.14 meters and the smallest 6 feet or 1.80 meters. Many moai were never finished, in fact the largest one found was unfinished and would have stood at 70 feet or 21.34 meters tall.
The moai are upright, humanlike figures with large heads and stylized angular faces, prominent noses, ears and lips, most of them have hollow eye sockets which were once filled with white coral and red stones. Not all the moai have their eyes filled, it is believed that only the most prominent ones had them filled during special ceremonies. Their bodies are long and end at their hips, their arms are at its sides and their hands with long fingers wrapped in front of their abdomen.

The original "666" in the Book of the Apocalypse is not actually 666.
The original Greek of the Revelations noscripture (Rev 13:18) does not state '666' anywhere - what is written in the original Greek, are three different letters: "CHI XI STIGMA" [pronounced khee xee stig'ma]" (seen above at the end of the highlighted passage). STIGMA by itself means to “stick”, or to, prick. These have been translated many times as "six hundred threescore and six" as and popularised as mainly in numerals as "6", "6", "6". The reader however would not be able to trace back the meaning by translation alone, and therefore we can conclude that a loss in meaning has occurred in translation.

The Roman Language in Switzerland and North Italy
The "Romansh language", spoken in the Swiss canton of Grisons (called sometimes Rhaeto-Romansh, following the current
German term in Switzerland,“Rätoromanisch“) evolved from spoken Latin in the wake of conquest of the area by the Romans by the start of the 3rd century AD. Up until around 400 AD, the Roman province of “Raetia“ (whichcovered the territory between the Alps and the River Danube) underwent intensive Romanisation. Vulgar Latin, as spoken by Roman soldiers, officials and merchants fused with the region’s former languages. (Mercator, 2017). Other proto-Vulgar Latin languages (i.e People's Latin) near the region include the Friulan language in the region of Venice, already formed around the 4th Century AD and Ladin.

Righteousness among the Samurai
"To the samurai first of all is righteousness, next life, then silver and gold. These last are of value, but some put them in the place of righteousness! But to the samurai even life is as dirt compared to righteousness. Until the middle part of the middle ages customs were comparatively pure though not really righteous. Corruption has come only during this period of government by the samurai... They knew nothing of trade, were economical and content... Even in the days of my youth young folks never mentioned the price of any thing; and their faces reddened if the talk was of women. Their joy was in talk of battles and of plans for war. And they studied how parents and lords should be obeyed and the duty of samurai. But nowadays the young men talk of loss and gain, of dancing girls and harlots and gross pleasures."
