Tragedy of the Hell Ships writ large. Little known is the machinegunning of Brigadier Varley’s 6 life boats (about 200 men) after the torpedoing of IJN 🇯🇵 RAKUYO MARU. Although other survivors were picked up Varley’s group was never heard from again. #hellships @USNavy

You've heard of #HellShips? The degree of entitled, polluting #Megalomania needed to make an #AircraftCarrier look small may be impressive as a #MegaProject, but if you want a good reason why much of the world loathes us, this #MarALago of the high seas is a good place to start.

The "Icon Of The Seas" sets sail in January 2024. 5610 passengers, 2350 crew members, 5 times larger and heavier than the Titanic, 19 floors with more than 40 bars, restaurants and bowling alleys. What a monstrosity!

Watched @survivorcbs last week & #Gabler honoring #LesterTenney. I spent the next few hours 😭 😭reading & researching #BataanDeathMarch & #HellShips of #WWII. It’s the LEAST we can do, to READ what #theGreatestGeneration endured & sacrificed for us. THIS SHOULD BE TAUGHT. 🇺🇸

@black_mixed Hey girl! This is on topic, off topic...but check this out. I hear ya!What infuriates me is that slavery didn’t just effect our shores. Those #HellShips carried fathers, sisters, mothers; all who left family behind! Slavery changed everything forever! You know what I mean?😠

We call them #hellships our fathers and grandfathers were shoved in the hole like animals. Boats were unmarked so were most likely bombed and damaged from Philippines to Japan. Please like our Facebook page and view the dedication stone that we placed in #Hawaii #pow #neverforget
