I highlight comments and posts from the week (My goal is to have you cunts message me every week with submissions so I can filter and post) The criteria is simple; well thought out and EFFORT made posts that bring LOGOS and Truth to Voat.
In the mean time the winner is Armpit in this post the reason why is because the story makes you laugh and has a great red pill ending.
They can be funny, though. These people I used to live next to had a tard. He was like 35 or something, but yeah, mentally about maybe 6 yrs old.
There was a school a couple blocks over, so kids would always walk through the neighborhood on their way to wherever when school got out. So one day I'm watching the mailbox because I'm waiting for a delivery. It's 2:30 or 3 or whatever, and school just let out. The mail truck comes and goes, and I'm walking out to my mailbox. These two girls that live further down the block, maybe 13 or 14, are walking by on their way home, and it's like late February or early March, so it's still snow on the ground and pretty cold. That's the scene - me standing at my mailbox and two rando teenie-boppers just strolling by. Then, out of the blue, here comes the tard.
I hear someone yelling, "Up up and away!" like four times. But, it's all nasally and goofy sounding, so it's more like, "Upup naway!" I turn around and look just as these girls are entering stage right, and here comes the tard, running at top speed right at them. He's wearing bunny slippers, red sweat pants, a Superman t-shirt, he has a Winnie the Pooh blankie tied around his neck like a cape, he's wearing an football helmet (not a tard helmetJPG - an actual football helmetJPG), he's swinging a five pound sledge hammer while he runs, and he's running right at these girls as they pass the end of his driveway.
One chick screams, drops her shit and runs. The other one just kind of froze and bunched up and cowered in fear. My jaw is practically on the ground, because I can't believe what I'm seeing. Then, just as he gets within striking distance of the cowering girl, he sets the hammer down on the ground, opens the mailbox, grabs all the mail, and tries to do that Thor thing to call the hammer back to him. But the girl is still huddled up on the ground, so he's reaching his arm over her with his hand open like six times trying to get the hammer to fly back to him. She's looking at him like wtf and flinching every time he reaches out for the hammer. Finally, he walks past her, grabs the hammer, and yells, "Upup naway," like four times as he runs back home swinging his hammer and carrying the mail.
Such is life living next to a tard.
What exactly do you think didn't happen? Would you maybe have a list? That would be terrific as a starting point for @Blacksmith21's post maybe.
Sure! Hell, I'll give them some things that DID happen, too. BS21 can pick and choose.
Let's start with the totally fair Nuremburg Trials that everyone is so keen on pointing out!
----My first claim: A fair trial didn't happen.
How is it that the victorious Allies get to act as prosecutor, judge, and executioner of the German leaders?
--Source: From Nuremberg to My Lai pp. 81-83.
Judge Iola T. Nikitchenko, at a planning conference before the Tribunal convened explained his view on the trials:
The fact that the Nazi leaders are criminals has already been established. The task of the Tribunal is only to determine the measure of guilt of each particular person and mete out the necessary punishment -- the sentences.
This is the man that presided at the opening session. Where were the trials that determined guilt?
--Source: Leo Kahn, Nuremberg Trials pp. 26.
In his memoirs, Nahum Goldmann, who served as president of both the World Zionist Organization and the World Jewish Congress reported that the Nuremberg Trials were the brain-child of the World Jewish Congress officials. They persuaded the Allied leaders to accept the plan.
--Source: N. Goldmann, The Autobiography of Nahum Goldmann pp. 216-217
The World Jewish Congress(WJC) made sure the persecution of the Jews was the main focus of the trials.
--Source: World Jewish Congress, Unity in Dispersion pp. 141, 264, 267.
Colonel David Marcus, a Jewish officer in the US Army selected almost all of the judges, prosecutors, and lawyers for the Nuremberg Trials.
--Source: "War Crimes" article written by him in Britannica Book of the Year in 1947, pp. 819-821.
Charles F Wennerstrum stated that many employed clerks, lawyers, researchers, and interpreters had only just become Americans in recent years, and whose backgrounds were rather steeped in certain prejudices. He also stated that the evidence selection was made by the prosecution, and the defense had access only to the documents the prosecution considered material to the case.
In regards to Nuremberg, Wennerstrum had "a feeling that justice has been denied".
--Source: Chicago Tribune article, dated February 23, 1948, pp. 1, 2. "Nazi Trial Judge Rips 'Injustice'", by Hal Foust.
US Supreme Court Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone stated: "Jackson (Chief US prosecutor mentioned above) is away conducting his high-grade lynching party in Nuremburg." and "I don't mind what he does to the Nazis, but I hate to see the pretense that he is running a court and proceeding according to common law."
He specifically calls it a fraud.
--Source: Harlan Fiske Stone: Pillar of the Law pp. 716.
Congressional representative Lawrence H. Smith of Wisconsin states: "The Nuremberg farce represents a revenge policy at its worst."
--Source: Congressional Record -- Appendix, Vol. 95, Sec. 14, pp. A 3741.
John Rankin of Mississippi, another congressman, declared: "A racial minority, two and a half years after the war closed, are in Nuremberg not only hanging German soldiers but trying German businessmen in the name of the United States."
--Source: Congressional Record -- House, Vol. 93, Sec. 9, pp. 10938
EVEN A JEW, Milton R Konvits, specialist of law who taught at NYU states:
Our policy with respect to the Nazis is consistent with neither international law nor our own State Department's policy... The Nuremberg trial constitutes a real threat to the basic conceptions of justice which it has taken mankind thousands of years to establish.
--Source: M. R. Konvitz, "Will Nuremberg Serve Justice?," Vol. I, No. 3, pp. 11.
--My second claim: the German defendants were tortured by the Allies
They were tortured by the Allies against international law; violating at least articles 56 and 58 of the Geneva convention of July 1929.
--Source: Nuremberg: A Nation on Trial pp. 69, 302
Austrian officer, Emil Lachout, part of the postwar Allied War Crimes Commission testified under oath in 1988 that German officials had been tortured until they furnished fraudulent statements about alleged killings of Jews in German death camp gas chambers. He provided a copy of a 1948 document confirming this.
--Source: Robert Lenski, Holocaust on Trial, pp. 274, 278.
I've seen Rudolf Höss' confession rather often as a cornerstone document of Holocaust extermination. It's certainly one of the most widely known pieces of "evidence" by anyone that has dipped their toes into this subject.
--Source: Rupert Butler, Legions of Death, pp. 235-239
Rudolph Hoess was tortured for his testimony. After a beating, "It took three days to get a coherent statement out of him, but once he started talking, there was no holding him."
--Source: Rupert Butler, Legions of Death, pp. 236-237JPG
His testimony included claims that 2,500,000 people had been killed in the Auschwitz gas chambers, and another 500,000 had died of other causes.
--Source: Höss testimony at the Nuremberg Tribunal, published in: IMT vol. 33, pp. 275-279
These claims by him are now dismissed by reputable historians, and contradicted by their own, remade memorial stonePNG. 4 Million, really? Does anyone really think the 6 million number wasn't based on 4 million supposedly dying in this camp?
--My third claim: the Allies were guilty of the same things they were "prosecuting" the Germans for.
Chief US prosecutor Robert Jackson stated, in a letter to President Truman that the Allies...
have done or are doing some of the very things we are prosecuting the Germans for. The French are so violating the Geneva Convention in the treatment of [German] prisoners of war that our command is taking back prisoners sent to them [for forced labor in France]. We are prosecuting plunder and our Allies are practicing it. We say aggressive war is a crime and one of our allies asserts sovereignty over the Baltic States based on no title except conquest.
--Source: Jackson letter to Truman, Oct. 12, 1945. State Department files.
The British Government admitted that they, were themselves guilty of "crime against peace" in the planning of a military invasion of Norway before Germany made their move. Britain and the Soviet union jointly invaded and occupied Iran, a neutral nation in 1941.
--Source: J. McMillan, Five Men at Nuremberg pp. 245, 414. "Behind the scenes at Nuremberg," London's Daily Telegraph, Jan. 27, 1977
--My fourth claim: the above, by no means exhaustive on the hypocrisy on crimes, is why there was no definition of "aggression" in the Tribunal's charter, which makes any "conviction" of Principle VI part A, Crimes against peace, a miscarriage of justice.
Funny side note: Notice how the UN adopted the same kind of language? Have you seen what Israel, a member since 1949 has done to PalestineJPG?

This week Arm pit wins because he added humour to the dark under belly of honk honk society. @Crensch would have won, but his sources are so deep that I can't watch WW2 movie or documentary evar again.

Sorry to ruin that for you. Reality is both awesome and soul-crushing.
Native ago
I needed it man. And I appreciate you. You're a power user (and a shit poster), we should though work together because I would love for you to add these comment of the week winners to v/VoatHistory it needs to be done. I'll try and remember to tag you each week. I'm not very good at being regular with the posts, however, I figure if I keep this up eventually the movement will grow. Here are my other comment of the weeks
Crensch ago
feel free to post them there. I don't think there are any restrictions on submitting.
I'd recommend making a submission for "Comment of the week" winners for 3 month increments, and adding them to the submission as you go. That way it won't clutter the subverse too much, and people can go to one convenient place to see them.
Native ago
Clever. Great suggestion
