Pearl Harbor: Attack, Casualties & Facts – HISTORY (Dec. 7, 1941)

Pearl Harbor is a U.S. naval base near Honolulu, Hawaii, that was the scene of a devastating surprise attack by Japanese forces on December 7, 1941. Just before 8 a.m. on that Sunday morning, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes descended on the base, where they managed to destroy or damage nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight battleships, and over 300 airplanes. More than 2,400 Americans died in the attack, including civilians, and another 1,000 people were wounded. The day after the assault, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan. Japan and the Path to War The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise, but Japan and the United States had been edging toward war for decades. The United States was particularly unhappy with Japan’s increasingly belligerent attitude toward China. The Japanese government believed that the only way to solve its economic and demographic problems was to expand into its neighbor’s territory and take over its import market. To this end, Japan declared war on China in 1937, resulting in the Nanking Massacre and other atrocities. American officials responded to this aggression with a battery of economic sanctions a

Undertones: A deep-dive into Indian hyper-nationalism · Global Voices

Hindutva refers to the belief that India is inherently a Hindu nation. For India’s current leadership, people who defend secular constitutional laws and human rights are betraying not only the Hindu nation, but India as well. India and Hindutva, for the Modi administration, are one and the same.

This discourse is bolstered by sub-narratives and policies aiming to eliminate Muslims and undermine other minorities. Critics and journalists may also sometimes be charged under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) if they report on perspectives that clash with those of the government.

In early November, local police in the state of Tripura filed a case against 102 Twitter accounts under the UAPA for spreading false information about a recent outbreak of anti-Muslim violence in the region.

In its reporting on the case, Asian News International (ANI), a large Indian news agency, gave precedence to the police’s statement, tacitly reaffirming the narrative that anyone who shed light on Islamophobic attacks opposes Hindu majority rule. Such actions, according to this narrative, is essentially seditious, or “anti-national.”


“Indian Armed Forces in Kashmir only target and kill militants”

In August 2019, the BJP stripped Kashmir of its rights to statehood, which were granted at the time of India’s independence. The Indian military has since employed heavy-handed crackdowns and frequent communication shutdowns to repress any form of dissent. Today, some regions in Kashmir have no access to the internet.

Mainstream media, the BJP-led government, and the Armed Forces justify human rights violations in Kashmir by citing national security.

Correspondencia entre el arte y la naturaleza

Y cuando escuché que los rumores y los silencios del mar se transformaban en letras y en palabras y los susurros del viento ya eran relato, poema, narración, me di cuenta de que el arte se expresa en cada detalle y rincón. Y cuando miré los colores que los pinceles dejaban en el lienzo, descubrí que se trataba de la policromía de la naturaleza, de los matices de la creación, que la mano y la inspiración del artista reproducían en pedazos de sublime belleza y encanto. Y cuando presencié el espectáculo de los bosques y de las montañas, con sus formas y sus trazos, y oí con atención los conciertos de las cascadas y de los ríos, supe que mucho había de su presencia en las esculturas y en la música. Así aprendí que entre el arte y la…

” Não existe beleza sobre as cicatrizes. Existe sim, uma nova consciência sobre aquilo que somos capazes de fazer para prosseguir. Não não se cria laços afetivos com o que nos dilacera por dentro. Definitivamente, não se acalenta os motivos que geram feridas emocionais em nosso interior.

A vida é uma lição sobre progredir. Caiu, levanta, sacode a poeira e segue.

In this post we start the day of my posting “Family Trek, July 19, 2008, when, well before the sun rose at 6:23 am Mountain Daylight Time (the Navajo Reservation observes daylight savings, the rest of Arizona does not), Pam and I were at the Spider Rock Overlook.

Most visitors to the canyon make use of a system of roads and parking lots next to strategic views. There is the White House Overlook we visited our first day, July 18, to hike from the trailhead into the canyon. There are also, on the south side of the canyon:

  • Tsegi Overlook, taken from a Navajo word that translates directly to “between the rocks” and usually refers to a deep canyon with steep cliffs.
  • Junction Overlook above the point where Canyon Del Muerto (see my posting “Sun and Shade, Canyon Del Muerto”, and Canyon De Chelly intersect. …

Leyte | First-hand account – Purple Heart Hill

Purple Heart Hill

Pfc John Chiesa, E Company/188th Regiment/11th Airborne and Privates Davis and Duncan were on the point going up, what would become known as, Purple Heart Hill on 26 December 1944.  Chiesa recalled:

“We just got to the top of this hill when all hell broke loose.  The Japs opened up with their wood peckers and rifles.  Duncan got hit in the rump and he went tumbling down the hill.  I hit the ground and prayed.  Finally, Davis and i jumped up and went diving over the ridge.  We could not see the Japs because they hide pretty good in the jungle.  They were firing and we were trying to fire back, but we could not see them to know where to shoot at.

beauty doth reside in the heart…
by Jeff Flesch
[author’s site]

I sit atop a tree, taking in the beauty seen,
beneath the forest floor, and
above the skyline,
amber tossed

less
remorse(d)

once felt deep within my chest, memories
of another time, flood the senses, as I
continue to stay
present

to the night watchmen, standing guard, soft, and
loved by all the dearest
parts

of the forest floor, coming alive, knowing beauty
doth
reside

in the hearts of mine, and all of nature combined…
