Pearl Harbor, December 7.


National Day: Day of Remembrance.

Time and Date: December 7 - Pearl Harbor.
On Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, the American Army and Navy base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The attack came as a surprise to the American Army and Navy and lead to great losses of life and equipment. More than 2000 American citizens were killed and more than 1000 were injured. The Americans also lost a large proportion of their battle ships and nearly 200 aircraft that were stationed in the Pacific region.
Mercury News (via Archive): Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day — just three survivors of the USS Arizona remain.
The three remaining USS Arizona survivors are Don Stratton, Lou Conter and Ken Potts.

Don Stratton was 19 at the time of the attack.

Lou Conter was 20 during the attack.

Ken Potts was 20 during the surprise attack.

It has been said that when an old person dies, it is like a library burning down. For the past 75 years, I have tried to share what I remember of World War II, but a day will come when I can no longer speak. Then what will become of everything I experienced on December 7, 1941? That’s why I wrote this account.

D-Day: 80 years later.

National World War 2 Museum: 80th Anniversary of D-Day

MSN: US World War II veterans travel to France to mark 80th anniversary of D-Day.

National D-Day: History of D-Day.

The morning of June 6, 1944, American troops and their allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy, France in an invasion, code-named Operation Overlord, during World War II, which began the liberation of France, and ultimately other areas of Europe, from Hitler’s Nazi regime. This day, known as D-Day, and the strategically planned landing of 156,000 British, Canadian and American troops at 6:30 A.M. on the five beaches of Normandy was code-named Operation Neptune.

Earlier in the morning of June 6, 24,000 airborne troops were dropped into battle by parachute in order to close exits and overtake bridges slowing the advancement of Nazi reinforcements. Troops entering the beaches by land and sea were met with Hitler’s ‘Atlantic Wall,’ 2,400 miles of bunkers, landmines, and beach obstacles (metal tripods, barbed wire, and wooden stakes) established in anticipation of a French coast invasion. Nazis planted 4 million landmines along Normandy beaches.

VJ Day.

History: VJ Day.

On August 14, 1945, it was announced that Japan had surrendered unconditionally to the Allies, effectively ending World War II. Since then, both August 14 and August 15 have been known as “Victoryover Japan Day,” or simply “V-J Day.” The term has also been used for September 2, 1945, when Japan’s formal surrender took place aboard the U.S.S. Missouri, anchored in Tokyo Bay.
[.]
In a radio address in the early afternoon of August 15 (August 14 in the United States), Emperor Hirohito urged his people to accept the surrender, blaming the use of the “new and most cruel bomb” on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the country’s defeat. “Should we continue to fight,” Hirohito declared, “it would not only result in the ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation but would also lead to the total extinction of human civilization.”

Rhuan Maycon services held.

Rhuan Maycon

The following is from Journal de Brasilia (JdB).The English version below is from using an online language translator. From what I can tell, the services were held on June 6, 2019, based on a URL date of one of images at the JdB link.
by Olavo David Neto and Vanessa Lippelt
redacao@grupojbr.com


It happened yesterday, in Rio Branco, in Acre, the burial of Rhuan Maycon da Silva Costa. The boy, only nine years old, was killed and quartered by his mother and Stepmom in Samambaia, in the Federal district, last Friday, 31. The plane that made the transfer of the body arrived in the Acrean capital around 1h15 yesterday and went straight to the cemetery. The wake began at 11am (13h, in Brasilia time). After the farewell, the family of Rhuan followed the police station to collaborate with the investigations of Deputy Guilherme de Sousa Melo, of the 26th DP, who traveled to Rio Branco to hear them.

The last tributes to Rhuan were accompanied by relatives and friends. By telephone, the boy's great-uncle, Lúcio Barreto, spoke exclusively with the Jornal de Brasília and said that the weather in the wake was of sadness, but without revolt. The mother's family, Rosana Auri da Silva Candido, who confessed the crime at the time of the arrest, was also present. Maria Antonia, maternal grandmother of Rhuan, Natalia, Samara and Thiago, uncles of the child, paid homage to the boy.

Lucius commented that there were no incidents with the presence of relatives of the perpetrator of the crime. "The wake took a very quiet way, there was no exaltation of any part. There was no hostility on our part about Rosana's mother, "revealed the man, brother of Francisco das Chagas, grandfather who had custody of the boy. According to Barreto, everyone was well before Rhuan's death. Rosana's mother, even, supported Maycon Douglas, the child's father, in the discussions for the boy's custody.

Responsible for the investigation, Deputy Guilherme de Sousa Melo, of the 26th police station, landed on the morning of this fourth in Rio Branco. According to him, the trip will serve to "trace the pre-and post-kidnapping environments." Melo met in the afternoon with the father and other paternal family of the boy. According to Lucius, the day was moved to Rhuan's family. At the time of the interview, the relatives were still in the precinct waiting to be summoned to testify. "We're up without eating, we left the wake and we only switched clothes at home to come and talk to the deputy," he said.

In line statements, Lucius was the fifth. The father, Maycon Douglas, was the first to speak with Deputy Melo. Francisco das Chagas the next, followed by Maria do Socorro (paternal grandmother) and Maria Antônia (maternal grandmother), the next. According to him, all the testimonies would follow the line of how it was Rosana's personality and her relationship with Kacyla.

Authorities present
The transport of the body – budgeted in R $4400 – was banned by the state Government of Acre and the public Defender of the federative unit. State deputies attended the funeral service and even the first lady of Acre, Ana Paula Correia Cameli, attended, accompanied by the Secretary of social assistance of Rio Branco. By telephone, Rhuan's great-uncle thanked the public authorities for action. "We have to thank the Government of the state that has helped us with all the expenses of transporting the body."

The case
Rhuan was asleep when his mother, Rosana Auri da Silva Candido gave him a stab wound to the chest. The boy's stepmother, Kacyla Priscyla Santiago Damasceno, choked the child while other blows the knife were given by the mother. After death, the couple tried to burn the young man's body, but without success. So, the two quarteted the boy and distributed the body in two school bags and a suitcase.

Aconteceu ontem, em Rio Branco, no Acre, o enterro de Rhuan Maycon da Silva Costa. O menino, de apenas nove anos, foi morto e esquartejado pela mãe e pela madrasta em Samambaia, no Distrito Federal, no última sexta-feira, 31. O avião que fez o traslado do corpo chegou à capital acreana por volta de 1h15 de ontem e seguiu direto para o cemitério. O velório começou às 11h (13h, no horário de Brasília). Após as despedidas, a família de Rhuan seguiu à delegacia para colaborar com as investigações do delegado Guilherme de Sousa Melo, da 26ª DP, que viajou a Rio Branco para ouví-los.

As últimas homenagens a Rhuan foram acompanhadas por familiares e amigos. Por telefone, o tio-avô do menino, Lúcio Barreto, conversou com exclusividade com o Jornal de Brasília e contou que o clima no velório era de tristeza, mas sem revolta. A família da mãe, Rosana Auri da Silva Candido, que confessou o crime no momento da prisão, também esteve presente. Maria Antônia, avó materna de Rhuan, Natália, Samara e Thiago, tios da criança, prestaram homenagens ao menino.

Lúcio comentou que não houve incidentes com a presença de familiares da autora do crime. “O velório se deu de forma bem tranquila, não houve exaltação de nenhuma parte. Não teve hostilidade de nossa parte em relação à mãe da Rosana”, revelou o homem, irmão de Francisco das Chagas, avô que tinha a guarda do menino. Segundo Barreto, todos se davam bem antes da morte de Rhuan. A mãe de Rosana, inclusive, apoiou Maycon Douglas, pai da criança, nas discussões pela guarda do menino.

Responsável pela investigação, o delegado Guilherme de Sousa Melo, da 26ª Delegacia de Polícia, desembarcou na manhã desta quarta em Rio Branco. Segundo ele, a viagem servirá para “traçar os ambientes pré e pós-sequestro”. Melo se reuniu durante a tarde com o pai e outros familiares paternos do menino. De acordo com Lúcio, o dia foi movimentado para a família de Rhuan. No momento da entrevista, os familiares ainda estavam na delegacia à espera de serem convocados a depor. “Nós estamos até sem comer, saímos do velório e só trocamos a roupa em casa para vir falar com o delegado”, contou.

Na fila depoimentos, Lúcio era o quinto. O pai, Maycon Douglas, foi o primeiro a falar com o delegado Melo. Francisco das Chagas o próximo, seguido de Maria do Socorro (avó paterna) e Maria Antônia (avó materna), os próximos. De acordo com ele, todos os depoimentos seguiriam a linha de como era a personalidade de Rosana e a relação dela com Kacyla.

Autoridades presentes
O transporte do corpo – orçado em R$ 4,4 mil – foi bancado pelo governo do estado do Acre e pela Defensoria Pública da unidade federativa. Deputados estaduais estiveram presentes ao serviço fúnebre e até a primeira-dama do Acre, Ana Paula Correia Cameli, compareceu, acompanhada da secretária de assistência social de Rio Branco. Por telefone, o tio-avô de Rhuan agradeceu a ação dos órgãos públicos. “A gente tem que agradecer ao governo do estado que nos ajudou com todas as despesas de traslado do corpo”.

O caso
Rhuan estava dormindo quando a mãe, Rosana Auri da Silva Candido lhe desferiu um golpe de faca no tórax. A madrasta do menino, Kacyla Priscyla Santiago Damasceno, sufocou a criança enquanto outros golpes a faca eram dados pela mãe. Após a morte, o casal tentou queimar o corpo do jovem, mas sem sucesso. Então, as duas esquartejaram o menino e distribuíram o corpo em duas mochilas escolares e uma mala de viagem.

Today was John McCain Day? Who dis?

Today is Flag Day and the birthday of President Donald Trump.

I was unaware the McCaininites wanted to co-opt June 14, attempting to make this day a topical trending social media phenom.

I don't think things went as they planned.


I like the Tweet from Amy@Right Hook USA:


John McCain? Who dis?


I suppose Pudges McCain was beside herself today. The universe revolves around her, you know. She's cereal...Super Cereal!

From "Family Guy"

There are those who may feel this post is in Bad Taste. No...it's Caustic Sarcasm! It's what readers of this blog expect from me - at least, occasionally.

Happy Birthday, again, President Trump!

Flag Day and President Trump's Birthday

Today is Flag Day.

Today is also the birthday of PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP! Happy Birthday, Mister President!

Rhuan Maycon; Murdered by lesbian mother and her partner - both demonic, barbaric monsters.



My desire in reading and being informed of local, national and international news is at an all-time low. I wish I'd never seen this story.

This story is receiving virtually no coverage by the MSM in the U.S., which is no surprise.

The information below is from Pastebin, written by Raphael Boechat, psychiatrist, doctor of health sciences, professor of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Brasilia (UnB). It is reproduced here, in its entirety. 

Advisory: Graphic and disturbing details.
SOURCE Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/7nwmuppN

In Samambaia, a girl of eight years lived a routine of fear. Without going to school for at least two years, she left home just to go to church. Inside the residence he had little freedom and signs of ill-treatment were visible. The suffering came to an end yesterday morning, when the girl was able to find her father, the public servant Rodrigo Oliveira, who had been looking for her for five years. He learned of her daughter's whereabouts following the death of her 9-year-old brother, Rhuan Maycon, who was murdered by her own mother, Rosana Auri da Silva Candido, 27, and her companion, Kacyla Priscyla Santiago Damasceno, 28, mother of the girl.

Kacyla fled with her daughter from Rio Branco, in Acre, in 2014, along with Rosana and Rhuan. They went through dozens of addresses, such as Trindade (GO), Goiânia (GO) and Aracaju (SE), until arriving in the Federal District. Two months ago, they lived in Samambaia, in the house where the boy was murdered and quartered. It is not yet known if the girl saw the moment of Rhuan's death, but when she arrived at the police station, she made a drawing of a bloody body with organs outside. To the investigators of the 26th Police Station (Samambaia Norte), the women said that the girl slept at the time of the crime.

According to the Guardianship Council of the region, the two children were abused by the accused and forced to have sexual relations between them. They lived in private jail, according to the councilors. In the shelter, the girl thanked her for the meals and informed that she had only eaten bread for three days. About a year ago, Rhuan had his penis cut by women. The procedure was done at home and since then he has not gone to a health facility. To the agents, the accused told that the boy wanted to be a girl and, therefore, they would have mutilated him.

Rodrigo Oliveira, father of Kacyla's daughter, landed at Brasília International Airport at 8:30 p.m. yesterday. He then went to the police station in Samambaia to meet with the delegate and representatives of the Guardianship Council. A few minutes later, she went to the shelter where her daughter was, in Taguatinga. Quite agitated, with feet rested, cuts in the head and injuries in the neck, the small one, finally, was able to rediscover the father. Excited, he was not able to talk to the Mail team. "I was able to find my daughter because of a tragedy. This is not the ideal time to talk about it," he lamented.

Preventive
Rosana and Kacyla went through custody hearing yesterday morning. Both had the preventive detention ordered and were sent to the incarceration of the Department of Specialized Police (DPE). This week, they will be taken to the Women's Penitentiary of the Federal District. "They will respond for qualified homicide, for clumsy reason, with no possibility of defense of the victim, and for being a child under 14 years. The sentence ranges from 12 to 30 years in prison," informed the delegate at the front of the case, Guilherme Sousa Melo.

He adds that women will also be investigated for keeping children in jail and for personal injury. The investigator pointed out that there were suspicions that the boys had been attacked in Goiânia (GO), one of the addresses used by the accused during the escape period. Sousa Melo will go to Acre on Wednesday. "Let's take an external view of the perpetrators and the victim."

Kacyla's daughter will also be monitored in the coming days. An agent from the police station is scheduled to follow the girl's case. In addition, the Guardianship Council has guaranteed that it will follow the process, even in another unit of the Federation. The delegate will still talk again with his father and other relatives of the girl in Acre. "Everything has already been defined. Throughout this week, I will contact all family members," he said.

Funeral
"I want to give a dignified burial to my son," said Rhuan's father, Maycon Douglas Lima de Castro, 27. Unemployed, he despaired when he learned of the boy's death and because he could not afford to transport the body. However, according to the Guardianship Council, the Acre Justice will bear the costs of the transfer. "My boy was missing. We did everything to find him. I never gave up hope until my father called me and told me this whole story. It's still hard to believe," he said.

Maycon said he had a quick relationship with Rosana. "She lived at my parents' house along with Rhuan. I had been separated from her for five years when we decided to ask for custody. After that, she disappeared. Every time we found a clue, we traveled behind my son," he recalled. According to him, despair took over the family when the boy disappeared. "Everyone was very attached, so we never gave up looking for him," he said.

The man has two other children, from another marriage. Supported by his father, he tried to make a kitty to pay for the transport of the body, before he knew he would receive help. "I want to bring him to his land, where he was happy and play. Now, it's raining and it only reminds me of Rhuan, who loved to shower. After all, every kid likes it," Maycon said, unable to hold back his tears.

The Guardianship Council has said Kacyla's daughter will remain in the shelter indefinitely. Because she had been away from her father for a long time and because of the crime, she was still very scared at the moment of reunion. Organ teams will work to ease the situation. Rodrigo already had the guardianship of the daughter, therefore, there are no legal procedures in relation to this question.

Barbarism
Rosana and Kacyla murdered Rhuan late Friday night. The boy was asleep when he received several knife strokes. Then he had his face disfigured, was beheaded and quartered. The women even tried to burn his flesh on a barbecue so [they] could discard it in a toilet. However, they stopped because of the large amount of smoke.

They distributed the boy's body parts in a suitcase and two school backpacks. Rosana threw one of the items into a Fern culvert, but was seen by people on the street. Curious, they opened the object and found the body. The Civil Police was arrested and arrested the couple in the residence. Investigators do not rule out the possibility that the accused would do the same to Kacyla's daughter, who was asleep when the agents arrived.

Word of expert; Indications of psychopathy
"Diagnosis is very difficult, it depends on many evaluations. But for me, as a psychiatrist and as a person, it is clear that such an attitude is ill. And when you say that the person is sick, they think you are a poor person, and not necessarily the case, for example, when it comes to psychopaths. It is a very serious case, extremely bizarre, and it needs to be further studied. Infanticide is not so rare. But the picture draws attention because it involves, in addition to infanticide, extreme brutality, with penile pre-amputation.

"These two women, in other countries, would be sentenced to death or to life imprisonment. And, probably, if they are reinserted into society, they can cause problems. It is striking that a year earlier they had cut the boy's penis. It was not a slap, a kick, as in 99% of cases. Everything tends to lead us to frame them to the side of psychopathy."

If there is any justice in this world, Rhuan's mother Rosana da Silva Candido, and her lesbian partner Kacyla Damasceno Pessao, would spend the rest of their lives in a North Korean prison camp.

“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”

According to Brazil’s Child Protective Services, the boy had a“kind of a sex-change surgery. After removing the penis, they sewed the mutilated region and improvised a version of a female genital organ, making a cut in the groin.”

The surgery had apparently been performed with no medical supervision after Rhuan’s mother had decided to turn her son into a girl.

Rhuan’s father had previously contacted Child Protective Services and the police after expressing concerns about the welfare of his son.

Rhuan’s mother and her partner were able to evade the authorities by moving across states and around the country.

Child Protective Services were unable to keep up or save Rhuan’s young life.

Rhuan’s father told the press, “We tried to save Rhuan. We published messages on the social media, we contacted police and the Child Protective Services. No one helped us.”

It appears that Rhuan had suffered extensive psychological trauma from his mother for being male before his penis was severed and his eventual death.
