Bertrand Russel was a wise man … “Most of the greatest evils that man has inflicted upon man have come through people feeling quite certain about so”; as was John Adams: “Those who would trade freedom for safety will have neither”
In the summer of 1992, Italian journalist Franco Di Mare arrived in Sarajevo as a war correspondent for RAI. The city was under siege. Snipers watched the streets, and shells fell without warning.
One day he went to an orphanage that had just been hit. The shell had struck the kitchen; by chance the children were not inside. Only two were lightly injured.
Among the frightened little ones—mostly blonde—he noticed a baby girl with dark hair. She was the only one smiling. When he lifted her, she wrapped her arms around his neck and held on.
Something passed between them in that moment. He was 35, carrying his own wounds from a difficult stretch of life. She was roughly ten months old, still in diapers, with no family left to claim her. He knew he could not leave her there.
With the help of the Red Cross, he managed to bring her out of the besieged city and into Italy.
The legal path was long and uncertain, but it succeeded. He and his wife Alessandra adopted her and named her Stella.
Di Mare later said she saved him more than he saved her. She led him toward faith; he began to say that God exists. Even after his marriage to Alessandra ended, both parents stayed close to their daughter.
Years later he wrote the novel Non chiedere perché—“Don’t Ask Why”—because that was the only honest answer he could give when people asked why he had done it.
The book became a television film, L’Angelo di Sarajevo.
Stella grew up in Italy, studied economics, and kept a quiet life away from the spotlight. She was with her father through his long illness. When Franco Di Mare died in May 2024 at the age of 68, the bond that began in the ruins of an orphanage was still the center of both their lives ♥️♥️
Fra en islamisk "fredskonference" i Oslo.
- Oplægsholder: Hvor mange er tilhænger af sharia, selv hvis det medfører dødsstraf, stening m.v.?
Alle løfter hånden.
- Oplægsholder: Hvor mange er ganske almindelige sunni-muslimer?
Alle løfter hånden.
🚨🇬🇧 An English girl was sexually assaulted at school by four young Pakistani Muslim immigrants and is afraid to return to classes.
Now her friends are protesting to demand the deportation of these immigrant families.
Do you support them?
If someone asks you how much a single family's life is worth to the United States Navy, tell them the exact price: ten million dollars of steel.
On April 29, 1975, as Saigon fell, a tiny two-seat wooden-and-fabric Cessna plane with almost no fuel left circled desperately above the American aircraft carrier USS Midway.
Inside that tiny cockpit, a father named Major Buang-Ly had crammed his wife and five small children, including a baby. He scribbled a note on a map, wrapped it around his pistol so it would not blow into the ocean, and dropped it onto the carrier deck.
A young American sailor picked up the crumpled paper and ran it up to Captain Lawrence Chambers.
The note read: "Can you move these helicopter to the other side, I can land on your runway, I can fly 1 hour more. Please rescue me. Major Buang, Wife and 5 child."
The flight deck of the USS Midway was completely jammed from bow to stern with military helicopters. A Cessna has no tailhook to catch carrier wires, and its pilot had never landed on a ship in his life.
By every military regulation, Captain Chambers had been in command for only five weeks. Throwing millions of dollars of U.S. government aircraft into the sea without permission from Washington could end his career in a court-martial.
Chambers looked up at the tiny plane circling in the wind with five children inside. He did not call an accountant in Washington.
"Clear the deck," the captain ordered.
Hundreds of young American sailors in yellow and green jerseys ran to the edge of the ship, put their shoulders against massive Huey helicopters, and shoved ten million dollars worth of machinery straight off the cliff into the South China Sea.
Captain Chambers turned the giant carrier into the wind at twenty-five knots. The tiny Cessna came down, bounced once on the steel runway, and rolled to a safe stop with feet to spare.
When the cockpit door opened and five small children stepped out onto the deck, three thousand American sailors roared so loud it drowned out the engines, and immediately passed around a hat to collect cash for the family's new life in America.
When the math says a child's life is too expensive, an American throws the math into the ocean.
Today in Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪:
Thousands calling for establishment of Muslim Caliphate and Sharia Law across Europe.
They escaped their shitty countries to come to Europe, to turn Europe into the shitty countries they escaped from.
They almost kill each other just to lick a black stone, and they still have the audacity to call Christians polytheists and idol worshippers
I’ll never fully understand this weird religion.
LAs tåkrummende falske ækvivalens mellem Martin Henriksen og Irans mullahstyre er noget af det mest debile, jeg har set på internettet i lang tid.
Det er *derfor*, man ikke kan overlade kulturkampen til liberale. De forstår ikke kultur, men behandler det som en subspecie af det eneste, de forstår sig på: abstrakte rettigheder. Samkønnede ægteskaber er (blevet) en rettighed, og i Danmark støtter vi rettigheder. Derfor er det udansk at argumentere imod samkønnede ægteskaber 🫠
Men, velærværdige Dunning Kruger: på den måde har du netop afskrevet stort set alle vores forfædre som udanske.
LAs sjofle ærinde her er at reducere danskhed til liberalisme. Hvilket selvfølgelig ikke bør undre: alle andre totaliserende ideologier prøver at kapre historien og gøre den til deres.
Men kunne man i det mindste ikke rulle sin imperiale pixibogstænkning ud på en lidt mindre bøvet, eller bare logisk gyldig, måde?
Det er jo sygt det der.
Man vil stemme for at gøre en der vil kaste en ud fra et tag pga sexualiteten, til dansk statsborger 🤷♂️🤷♂️

Luister en kijk dan eens goed om je heen. Dit is exact wat er hier in het westen momenteel gebeurd. En niet enkel in je eigen land kijken maar ook je buurlanden, zelfs Canada, Australië, Engeland, Amerika….
