In 1944, thousands of Japanese on Saipan hid in caves, sure the Americans would torture them if they came out. Many families chose the cliffs instead.
An 18-year-old American Marine from East Los Angeles walked up to those caves at night, alone, and called to them in Japanese.
His name was Guy Gabaldon. He was a Mexican American kid who had grown up partly in the home of a Japanese American family, the Nakanos. That is where he picked up his Japanese. When the war came, the Nakanos were sent to internment camps. Their twin sons, Lane and Lyle, joined the U.S. Army anyway and served in the 442nd.
Fifty years later, he still said it plainly: "These were Americans."
On Saipan, Gabaldon was a scout with the 2nd Marine Regiment. Right after landing, he slipped off on his own and came back with prisoners. His commanding officer, Capt. John Schwabe, threatened him with a court-martial for leaving his post.
The next night, he came back with about fifty.
After that, they let him go out alone.
He crawled to the cave mouths in the dark and promised the people inside water, medical care, and that nobody would hurt them. Night after night, ten or twenty at a time, they followed him out.
On July 8, by his own account, about 800 came out in a single day. Schwabe remembered that day too. It was the day they tagged him the Pied Piper of Saipan.
Not everyone listened. At the cliffs, he begged a mother not to kill her child. He watched her throw the baby and jump. He was still talking about it fifty years later.
His Navy Cross citation says that on Saipan and Tinian he brought in "well over one thousand enemy civilians and troops."
Schwabe recommended him for the Medal of Honor. He received the Silver Star. Sixteen years later, after Hollywood made a movie about him, the Navy upgraded it to the Navy Cross.
He died in 2006 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
I am Japanese. Those caves were full of my people, frightened, starving, and certain that the Americans were monsters.
An American teenager walked toward them in the dark and offered them water.
On this Veterans Day, Japan should know his name.

🚨The Home Office claim they’re investing £100m to prevent child sex abuse and to prosecute perpetrators.
Is that all our children are worth?
Historical abuse, trauma, suicide and 1000s of lives ruined going back decades.
But we can spend billions and billions on housing illegal migrants.
I’m sick of this establishment treating the survivors with utter contempt.
We want to see those complicit in enabling these henious crimes prosecuted too.
This is the biggest scandal this country has seen, and it will never be swept under the carpet!

It’s been years and still they’re not doing what they’re supposed to do. Ethnicity, religion and immigration should be as important as Name, DOB and address.
This government is failing our women and children all for the good and benefit of their voter base. I can’t loathe the Labour enough!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”
We will remember them
May their courage guide our steps, and their sacrifice remind us of the peace we must protect

Raised in a secular Muslim family in Marmaris, Turku had never met a Jew or Israeli, yet she grew up hearing that “Jews are the most powerful people, and they control the world.” Israeli society was portrayed as snobbish and exploitative, while Palestinians were idealized as victims of imperialism.
Friends warned her against studying in Israel, claiming she’d be isolated. But Turku’s curiosity deepened as she saw the Palestinian cause used by Turkey’s Islamist government for political gain. “They are using the Palestinian cause in a strategic way,” she says.
In college in Istanbul, she met pro-Palestinian activists who struck her as overbearing. “They just want to control your life... boycott whatever they say.” The contrast struck her: “They always say that Israel is going to control our country,” but it was the pro-Palestinians, not Israelis, that constantly tried to tell her what to believe.
Ironically, Turku’s first interactions with Israelis came in Marmaris, where Israeli tourists often docked near her family’s boat. “We became neighbors and started connecting,” she says. Her Jewish friends turned out to be ordinary, warm people who encouraged her to study in Israel.
This is a woman with an open mind, who trusts her experiences and evidence, facts, truth. A visit to Israel worth a thousand words and beliefs.
She was stunned to learn that Israel funds Palestinian students and permits protests and Palestinian flags on campus — hardly the “apartheid” state she’d been warned about.
Visiting the Al Aqsa Mosque revealed yet another falsehood. Turkish media claimed Jews barred Muslims from the site, but she discovered that both the Israeli soldiers and the Muslim guards “really need to be sure that you're Muslim and then they let me in.” In contrast, Jews are the ones restricted from entering Al Aqsa and certain Arab neighborhoods.

Starmer put Louise Casey in charge of the audit because he expected her to say there was no need for a full statutory inquiry.
These are his words:
"Her position when she started the audit was that there was not a real need for a national inquiry over and above what was going on".
Sadly for him when she had finished the audit her mind had been changed.
SHE DEMANDED A STATUTORY INQUIRY TO EXPOSE POLICE AND CPS FAILURES.
Starmer knew he would be called as a witness and that is why Labour dumped him because the inquiry will expose the Labour Rape Gang Cover Up.
But look what else Casey found.

This is the entrance to the killing fields of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Between the summer of 1942 & April 1945 one million Jews ✡️ were murdered in gas chambers. This was my second visit; the effect did not lessen.
I was there as a guest of the European Jewish @EJAssociation.

In France, a 23-year-old immigrant babysitter, Selma Babbar, was responsible for looking after an 8-month-old baby.
When the child's parents returned home, they noticed that their baby's face was swollen and there were marks of injuries on his head. The babysitter claimed that the baby had fallen, but doctors at the hospital became suspicious.
During the police investigation, 15 videos documenting the abuse of the baby were recovered from her mobile phone.
In the videos, she was seen hitting the baby with a toy, squeezing his jaw, striking his head with a mobile phone, and trying to suffocate him by covering his mouth with a cloth.
She also took away the baby's milk bottle and made insulting remarks to him. During the abuse, she asked him, "Are you racist?"
During the court proceedings, the babysitter was unable to explain her actions. Eventually, she admitted that she did not like the baby and had become irritated with him.
The court sentenced Selma Babbar to 4 years in prison, with one year suspended. She will have to spend 3 years in prison and has been permanently banned from working with children.
When religion and politics become intertwined, such violent and distorted faces emerge.

Three properties linked to the late tycoon Mohamed Al-Fayed, including the Ritz Paris, were searched by French police last month amid a trafficking probe.
French police said a number of arrests were made as prosecutors investigate allegations of human trafficking, aggravated pimping by an organised gang and rape. Campaigners have called for UK police investigating claims against Al Fayed to carry out their own searches. "Justice for Fayed and Harrods Survivors" said all properties in Britain where women alleged they were taken should be scrutinised. "We want to see the same thoroughness applied to every property where survivors say they were taken or abused, including here in Britain".
For decades, survivors have described how young women were recruited and moved between Fayed’s properties, in Britain and overseas. “We have never believed this was about one man acting alone. Fayed is dead, but many of those who helped him are not, and his death must never become their protection.” The Met Police described the investigation into those who may have facilitated Al Fayed’s offending as “one of the largest and most complex the Met is currently undertaking”.
Any comments from MP's ?🤔

Are you aware that the Scottish grooming gang inquiry started today? Message to a survivor of the grooming gangs in Scotland who is giving evidence this week at the opening of the Scottish grooming gangs inquiry which has had barely any publicity and no awareness campaign.
We are all behind you x. I told you two years ago at the start of your journey outside the Houses of Parliament in London that this is your time. Just be careful of people jumping in and using your story for their own political gain and giving you false hope!
Never forget that not one single politician or political party or the police or any organisation in Scotland has done anything to create an environment where the victims and survivors of these grooming gangs will feel safe enough to come forward. This is all planned to deter survivors from coming forward.
There are many women and some men being asked to give evidence to this inquiry who came forward to the Scottish child abuse inquiry which started in 2016 and is still going on and that has turned into a disaster of cover ups.
These same survivors who were mostly in the care system also came forward along with nearly five thousand people to @ThePromiseScot and poured out their stories of abuse in the care system by religious groups and grooming gangs and after eight years since it started in 2018 there has not been one mention of child sex abuse or grooming gangs by
@ThePromiseScot either in public or on their web site, and still the public remain silent, too afraids to speak out and question this.
The people of Scotland have to also understand that many of these same survivors also approached the Scottish child abuse Redress scheme which started in 2019 and well over 100 survivors have died waiting to have their cases reviewed. ( Please google~: SNP scheme has left 86 victims of child abuse to die witrh no redress) the number has significantly risen since this story originally came out.
The scheme has faced widespread criticism from survivors' groups over extensive administrative delays, with some applicants waiting more than two years for a decision.
This redress scheme which from day one NEVER had a penny spent on any awareness campaign has been labelled as financial genecide and is just typical of the agenda which was set up from the beginning of all these catastrophies which is to get as much negative publicity as possible out to the public to keep the numbers coming forward to a minimum and the Scottish main stream media have bowed to their masters and done just that.
That’s Scotland for you, and the people of Scotland are happy to turn their backs on us survivors and attack anyone who dares come forward to call out those making all these decisions. Being a child sex abuse victim in Scotland is a living hell, being a victim and survivor/campaigner in Scotland is a very dangerous road to go on, you are literally putting your whole life in danger.

Dear Pro-Reza @pahlavireza supporters it seems you are angry with me. I took my shoes off and sat in a recess to gain and video a better view, the man in front obscured my view. Two aspects of British culture and my culture. In Britain it is expected to take your shoes off when entering a house, and it is the ultimate sin to put shoes on tables and chairs.
On my culture, I see us all being equal and I try to treat everyone equally, both low and high. I prefer to be addressed as Dave as opposed to David as it is friendlier, for example. Quite frankly, if given the opportunity I would have some choice words to say to British politicians and some in the Royal Family.
I have made enquires to reach out to his Excellency and will ask if an apology is in order. I am happy to do so.
Britons, Jews, and freedom loving Iranians should concentrate their anger at the monstrous IRGC and ending Islamist rule, in my opinion it will usher in peace in the Middle East. The bright sunlit uplands beckon.
If you continue the abuse, I will delete this post. I am open to sensible criticisms.

Teacher who claimed he was an IRA member jailed for sending death threats to Kemi Badenoch
Kieran Kyle aged 43 from Gillingham pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 20 weeks at Westminster Magistrates Court after emailing the Conservative leader and her husband that he would have shot her dead and she would be left face down in a ditch with a bullet in her head if she went to Belfast.
The judge rejected his claim he did not know who she was and said the deliberate actions had high culpability.
