[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Twenty five years ago today, a 62 year old man with cancer in his bones walked 2,687 people out of the South Tower, and then he went back inside.

Rick Rescorla was born in Hayle, Cornwall in 1939. British Parachute Regiment in Cyprus at 18. Colonial police in Northern Rhodesia. Then he came to America, enlisted in the US Army in 1963, and in November 1965 he went into the Ia Drang Valley as a platoon leader with the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry.

Hal Moore called him the best platoon leader he ever saw. His men called him Hard Core. He sang to them in the dark, Wild Colonial Boy in an Australian accent, because he had worked out that men who are singing are not men who are panicking. That is Rescorla on the cover of We Were Soldiers Once and Young, bayonet fixed.

Thirty five years later he was head of security for Dean Witter, later Morgan Stanley, in the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

In 1990 he brought in his old friend Dan Hill and the two of them walked the basement. He warned the Port Authority that the parking garage was wide open, that somebody could drive in a truck full of explosives, walk out and light it off. Nothing was done. Three years later the 1993 bomb went off about thirty feet from the spot he had flagged.

After that he told Morgan Stanley the towers were still a target and the next attack would come out of the sky. He wanted the firm to leave Manhattan. The lease ran to 2006, so they stayed. Twenty two floors of the South Tower, roughly 2,700 people.

So he drilled them. Every three months, everyone, no exceptions, down the stairwells two abreast while he stood there with a stopwatch. Traders pulling seven figures resented being marched down concrete stairs by a Cornishman with a clipboard. He kept doing it anyway.

8:46 a.m. The North Tower is hit. Port Authority comes over the South Tower loudspeakers and tells everyone the building is secure and to go back to their desks. Rescorla picks up a bullhorn and tells his people to get out.

He phones Dan Hill. "The dumb sons of bitches told me not to evacuate. They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people out of here."

9:03 a.m. The second plane hits the South Tower, floors 77 through 85. His people are already in the stairwells, moving exactly the way they had been drilled, and Rescorla is on the bullhorn singing to them. Cornish songs. A version of Men of Harlech he had rewritten for Cornwall. Men of Cornwall stop your dreaming, can't you see their spearpoints gleaming.

He called his wife Susan from the stairs. They had been married two and a half years, met jogging in New Jersey. He told her to stop crying, that he had to get these people out safely, and that if something happened to him he wanted her to know he had never been happier, that she made his life.

Someone told him to get out. He said, as soon as I make sure everyone else is out.

2,687 Morgan Stanley employees went home that day. Thirteen did not, and four of those were Rescorla and the men who stayed in the building with him: Wesley Mercer, Jorge Velazquez, Godwin Forde.

He was last seen on the 10th floor, walking up.

The South Tower fell at 9:59. They never found him.

So many people on X now saying the government is the people smugglers
Do you agree with them?

They do this to little girls every single day because men won’t marry an uncut girl. In Somalia, they do it in private homes with no anesthetic. In the US and the UK, it’s done in doctor’s offices with modern pain meds, but that doesn’t make it any less barbarous.

This is what feminism was born to fight, but modern liberal feminists turn a blind eye because it goes against their narrative about how white men are the epitome of evil and Islam is a religion of peace. They ignore unimaginable female suffering because the people causing it aren’t the ones their ideology tells them to oppose.

This Iraqi-born animal Aras Hussein took a kitchen knife to his 18-year-old girlfriend Reema Ramzan’s neck WHILE SHE WAS STILL ALIVE.

Stabbed her in the chest. Then used “considerable force” to cut her head off in his Sheffield flat.

He walked out onto the street naked, covered in her blood, clutching her money and passport.

Life sentence. 20-year minimum. He’s now over halfway through it.
Reema’s family said nothing has been the same since. They still can’t believe she’s gone.

This is what we imported. This is what we housed. This is who we let stay.

When his time is up, send him home. Send every last one of them home. No more.

@JackieKpss @JuliaHB1 @starchanton I’d say these women were more dehumanised:

@JuliaHB1 @JChimirie66677 💯 and why do we never diiscuss the flip side of supporting the wearing of the hijab - it supports the idea that non muslim women are inviting abuse. You wouldn’t get away with wearing a t-shirt with an arrow on it saying ‘abuse her instead’, why is the hijab ok?

@toadmeister BMJ: Progress has been made in reducing the “collective shame” of disproportionate employer referrals of docs from ethnic minority backgrounds or who qualified outside the UK, regulator says’. Reducing disproportionate referrals!? Not disproportion in cases dismissed😳It’s worse!

After reviewing a case which saw a man jailed for circumcision-related crimes, the Court of Appeal has said it would "clearly be preferrable for Parliament to regulate non-medical circumcisions".

We're calling for urgent reform to protect boys from harm.

“I could tell you about women whose lives are hemmed in by "cultural norms" every bit as restricting as Mandela's cell: instructed not to learn English, warned never to reveal their faces in public, pressured into marriages they don't want, often to cousins. I could tell you even more, except that the religious identity of perpetrators and victims of crime are not routinely collected so we don't fully grasp the scale of the problem. Most go unreported anyway.
Every now and again a brave woman steps forward to paint a picture of the misery behind these numbers. Like the woman who spoke to the Southall Black Sisters charity of being punched so hard by her husband that pieces of her teeth broke off but who was blamed rather than supported by the local cleric. Like the woman of Kurdistani heritage who told parliament that marital rape had been encouraged by community arbitrators who regard sexual obedience to husbands as an Islamic duty. Like the woman who revealed that female testimony in many sharia tribunals counts for only half that of males.
We don't call this apartheid. We don't
like the scale of anti-apartheid marches in the Eighties. We don't make banners or sing songs. But it is apartheid nonetheless. The Afrikaans word means
"apartness" or "separateness", a painfully apt description of the way too many British Muslim women live today, cut adrift by the patriarchs who control them and a society that celebrates the end of apartheid in South Africa while turning a blind eye to the same thing here.”

Martyna Ogonowska has lost her appeal. This is atrocious. Martyna was just 18 when she was sexually assaulted by a man named Filip Jaskiewicz. A rape survivor, she was carrying a knife, and she stabbed Jaskiewicz once, killing him.

At her trial, the judge accepted that Martyna had been violently and sexually assaulted, but because she was carrying a knife, her actions were considered unlawful, and she was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Worse, she’s still behind bars, while Banaras Hussein, leader of the Rotherham rape gang, is already free on licence.

This is the UK in 2026: a country where a man who doused a little girl in gasoline and threatened to set her on fire spends less time in prison than a woman who killed in admitted self defense.

@Justsom99841785 @sappholives83 She was 14!?

[Diana Alastair💚🤍💜 ⚢ ❌❌✡️ @sappholives83]

This is Judge David Farrell, QC. In April of 2019, he handed Martyna Ogonowska a life sentence, with a minimum term of 17 years, for stabbing and killing a man who was sexually assaulting her.

In 2017, Farrell sentenced Kestutis Bauzys to life imprisonment with a minimum 17.5 year term for brutally stomping his partner to death.
