A long, but very interesting article addressing a number of very relevant topics for today's world. Kupelian does an excellent job of addressing people's capacity to commit horrendous acts of savagery to others, even long time neighbors; the savagery of murdering sisters and children in "honor killings;" and the evils of Nazis and Communists.

Finally, he closes the article by addressing the spiritual issues that the world is ultimately dealing with while fighting earthly battles against those who are serving the forces of spiritual darkness.

May we never forget the suffering and deaths of those murdered by evil governments and religions.

Those that remember the evils of the holocaust have a great slogan when trying to educate and warn the world about evil: They proclaim, "Never again!"

When talking about genocide that slogan works just fine for me.

(Just my 2 cents worth.)

Orthodox Ping!

Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross

May their Memory be Eternal!

Muslim on Christian slaughter. Someday this score will be settled.

From Hitler's Mountain, by Arthur Mitchell:

When agreement with the Russians to jointly devour Poland was secured the next day, his entourage gathered with him late in the evening. Albert Speer describes the scene: standing on the terrace of the Berghof around 3 AM they "marveled at a rare natural spectacle. Northern lights of unusual intensity threw red light on the legend-haunted Untersberg across the valley, while the sky above shimmered in all the colors of the rainbow. The last act of Gotterdammerung could not have been more effectively staged. The same red light bathed our faces and our hands." A pensive mood descended on the group, with Hitler commented to one of them, "Looks like a great deal of blood. This time we won't bring it off without violence."

Herbert Dohring has a much more dramatic recollection of the occasion: "Suddenly the sky above Berchtesgaden was in turmoil. It was blood red, green sulphur grey, black as night, a jagged yellow. It was frightening." A Hungarian woman, one of Hitler's guests, approached him to say, "This augurs no good. This means blood, blood and more blood, destruction and terrible suffering." With that, recalled Dohring, Hitler became "completely crazed, his hair was wild, his gaze locked in the distance." At length Hitler responded, "Well, if it has to be, then let it be now," and shortly thereafter went to his room. The invasion of Poland began a week later."

This testimony was also given in William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

ARMENIAN SAYING:

The only free thing in this world is the cheese in the mouse trap.

Thank you for reminding us of this horrific genocide especially for the younger freepers who may not know this history. And now the Turks have recently taken over many of the Greek Islands and are trying to take over Greece entirely. History repeats itself.

FACT: So many situations in world history would have been very different if the victims had a Glock, an 870, or an AR.

These Armenians needed them.

"The Turkish people are very hospitable people"

Not the one I married, I found out too late.

Leave. It. There.

Demas Shakarian who started the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship wrote a little book called The Happiest People on Earth ...

He included the story of the 12 yo boy in Armenia who prophesied the Moslems would slaughter all the Christians and warned the people of his village to flee...many did and were saved...the grandfather of Demas was among the people who believed the boy and left..His grandfather escaped with his wife and children and came to the US and settled in LA...the father of Demas was just a young boy when he arrived in America and later started a dairy farm in Downy, CA where Demas was born...

They belonged to an Armenian church in LA...

VERY interesting. While I was in the ME for the better part of 3 years, some of the time as the only US/Catholic in the work group, I developed a respectful relationship with the Muslims I worked with. But I did on occasion see that “switch” go off. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the thread.

We must never forget the suffering of the Armenians by the Turks. This is personal.

Never again!

Buy weapons and ammo and always have a plan to kill everyone you meet. Reference to “Mad Dog” Jim Mattis.

It’s part of the Muslim religion to kill anyone that doesn’t believe as it dictates. No freedom. Complete slavery.

Presidential statement: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/statement-president-armenian-remembrance-day/ Today, we join the global community in memorializing the lives lost during the Meds Yeghern, one of the worst mass atrocities of the 20th century.  Beginning in 1915, 1 and a half million Armenians were deported, massacred, or marched to their deaths in the final years of the Ottoman Empire.  On this day of remembrance, we pay respect to those who suffered and lost their lives, while also renewing our commitment to fostering a more humane and peaceful world. Every year on April 24, we reflect on the strong and enduring ties between the American and Armenian peoples.  We are proud of the founders of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, a ground-breaking effort established in 1915 that provided crucial humanitarian support to Armenian refugees, and grateful for the thousands of Americans who contributed or volunteered to help Armenians expelled from their homes. On this day, we bear witness to the strength and resiliency of the Armenian people in the face of tragedy.  We are fortunate that so many Armenians have brought their rich culture to our shores and contributed so much to our country, including decorated soldiers, celebrated entertainers, renowned architects, and successful businesspeople. We welcome efforts by the Armenians and Turks to acknowledge and reckon with their painful history.  On this day, we believe it is our obligation to remember those who suffered and perished and reaffirm our commitment to protecting vulnerable religious and ethnic minorities around the world. + + + I will be posting this as a new thread
