Ted’s Letter To Jim – Part Two

(Part One was posted 28 July)

“….Yet I was a product of the times Jim. I was reared in a depression but
loved and raised by very simple people who were honest, hardworking
folks. They depended on their faith in God and each other for their
well being and their sense of belonging and their strong sense of
community. Patriotism and love of country, of God, were not the false
ideals or beliefs that the young people of today view as archaic, old
fashioned and irrelevant. You could depend on your neighbor or even
a stranger to do what was right. Their sense of decency was instilled
upon us. So, you can imagine how we felt when Pearl Harbor was
attacked without provocation. It was our call to action, a collective
alarm to grow up. Grow up in a world that was extremely dangerous.
Perhaps we were naïve in believing that everyone in this world was as
principled as we were and had the same values and beliefs as we did.
In that sense, Pearl Harbor was our wakeup call.

Before he continued on, Jim paused to reflect on Ted’s words for a
moment.

Saipan changed my life forever Jim. It may have a profound impact
on you too. I can’t say for sure. I don’t know. Unfortunately for me
Saipan will forever be associated with death. It will forever be the
harbinger of the sheer terror of a Banzai attack by four thousand
hysterical Japanese soldiers coming down at you intent and bent on
one thing only…your demise…your death.

“Holy shit, Ted.”

“…or the horror of having to kill your enemy…a young man just like
you…at such close quarters as to be able to sense and feel his palpitable
heartbeat and hyperventilating breath on your face or the sweat of
his fear in your nostrils…or to see the lifeblood drain out of another
human being with just a single bayonet thrust and one pull of a trigger:
to see the light of his eyes extinguished forever…or to be responsible
for the deaths of ten little Chamorro school girls due to some reckless
miscalculation in combat…or to witness a mass suicide at the Marpi
cliff s of hundreds of faceless Saipan islanders for no other reason than
a falsehood perpetrated by the Japanese lie of American atrocities and
barbarism. No, no one should ever have to experience what I went
through on Saipan Jim. Nobody. That is why I could never return
there after the war. The memory of the place is haunting. It exerts a
pall and a pox over me whenever I think about it.”

“Christ Ted. I wouldn’t have known”

“You may think of me as being dead emotionally Jim after an experience
such as Saipan but you would be wrong. I am not. In spite of all of
the atrocities, death and suffering I witnessed or was a part of during
the Battle of Saipan a simple gesture of kindness and understanding
saved my soul. As I lay there in the field hospital recovering from the
amputation of my leg, feeling sorry for myself, a young Chamorro boy
came to me and touched me with his small, delicate fingers. As he
did so, an overwhelming sense of peace enveloped me. It was as if he
was trying to tell me, telepathically, through his touch, that all was
forgiven and that everything was going to be just fine.

“This young boy was or is named Shoichi Mizutani, Jim.”

“Nooo.”

“He is the son of Akira and Mariko Mizutani.”

“No way Ted? No way. I can’t believe it.”

Chills ran up and down Jim’s spine. The hair on the back of his neck
stood up. He continued to read. Tears began to form.

“They were the family I saved from certain death from a thrown
Japanese grenade. That is how I lost my leg Jim. When you told me
of your plans to visit Saipan on your sail with Nigel and stay with
a Mr. Mizutani I could not believe it. After all of these years his life
was coming back into mine…indirectly perhaps…through you, but
a reconnection nevertheless. Accordingly, I felt a strong impulse to
relate my experiences to you. I had to. If you meet Shoichi I want you
to thank him with all of my heart for his simple gesture of kindness
and forgiveness for me. I want you to tell him that that simple gesture
saved me from a life of trauma, anxiety and nightmares.
You see Jim it was through Shoichi that I was forgiven. It was
through him that I was saved…from myself. I was born again.”

“Oh my God, Ted.”

“So, there you have it Jim, my war story. It is one that I have never
told anyone except my dearly departed wife who died of cancer in
1972. I am telling you all of this because I have detected a kindred
spirit in you. You are sensitive, observant of your fellow man, kind
hearted and vulnerable. Consequently, like me, you will probably
experience many setbacks and disappointments over the course of
your life because of your nature but do not fret. These are strengths
Jim. Believe you me. They are gifts, gifts from God himself. Have
faith in yourself, your own ability and how you treat your fellow man.
A strong character will never let you down.

“That is all I have to say Jim. It was a pleasure knowing you. I hope
to see you again soon.”

God bless you.
Sincerely, Aye
Ted Culp
Bremerton, Washington,
Ala Wai Marina, January 1974

Jim was dumbfounded by what he read.

Another COP-Out!

Where the Global elites come to play…next November / December.

COP30: A Dalliance Masquerading as a Climate Conference – in Brazil’s Amazon rain forest for heaven’s sake.

Watch Canada’s Prime Mortician, Snidely Whiplash, make some outrageous promise to save the planet from itself.

Why can’t these guys meet via zoom?

The cost of COPs is starting to rival the Olympic Games. Did you know that the two day G7 meeting in Kananaskis cost the Canadian taxpayer 300 million dollars. What did it achieve? Nada, Rien. Trump left after one day. A friggin disaster.

This year’s theme song?

Coming live from the Amazon rain forest:

“Can’t wait” said one COP 30 fan:

What Is the Difference Between an Alligator and a Crocodile? - WorldAtlas

Typical, normal woke nonsense from Canada, the world’s wokest country.

Leadership requirements for the New Democrat Party:

From the Victoria Times Colonist

NDP leader rules limit support from non-transgender men

(italics are mine)

— The NDP has released the official rules for its leadership race — and they’re telling candidates they must gather specific numbers of signatures from supporters in diverse regional, racial and LGBTQ+ groups.

Leadership candidates must collect at least 500 signatures each to enter the race. No more than 50 per cent of those signatures can come from non transgender men, the party says.

And whitey need not apply.

At least 100 signatures collected by each candidate must come from people in “equity seeking groups,” which include party members who are LGBTQ+, Indigenous or racialized, or those who live with a disability, the party says.

And whitey need not apply!

At least 10 per cent of a candidate’s signatures must come from young New Democrats aged 25 years or under.

Candidates must also collect at least 50 signatures apiece from each of five different regions in Canada — the Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies, and B.C. and the North.

Oops, that’s 6 regions.

The NDP currently holds three seats representing B.C. in the House of Commons, one in Alberta, one in Manitoba, one in Quebec and the sole Nunavut seat.

That’s seven seats out of a total 338.

And whitey need not apply!

Good thing that they, the NDP, will never form government in this country. But then again Elizabeth May…be…keeps getting elected.

And what does Canada’s Prime Mortician, Snidely Whiplash, say about all of this:

“Drat! I’m shaking in my boots.”

Canada’s leadership…in a song:

Canadians, especially those in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes do live in a Yellow Submarine.

Oh, and an afterthought. In September Canada is going to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state. In reality the Palestinian state and leadership is a Hamas and Iranian proxy. And Hamas’s mission is to destroy Israel and murder all the Jews — a goal stated in its founding charter, and on which it has never wavered. If and when this happens I for one will be ashamed to call myself a Canadian.

Thanks Snidely!

Hey, purchase a book. Great reads, if I do say so my self. Would make a great gift.

Fools On Our Hills

While the guy in white is making his point the bald headed cop continues with his land acknowledgments.
Winnipeg Police: “One of our senior officers is a psychopathic serial criminal who—while maybe high on coke and mushrooms—sold drugs, extorted people and took grotesque pictures with dead women in their underwear. But before we get to that, let’s do a dozen land acknowledgments.”

 

I want my country back.

Canada is the wokest country on the planet. Wokeness will destroy this country.

If you are so serious about these land acknowledgements, then give the land back to them, If not then STFU.

Indigenous OK Is Mandatory

Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday redefined his first major bill to mandate that industrial projects deemed fit for speedy approval “must” serve Indigenous interests. The legal text of Bill C-5 passed into law June 26 states only that Indigenous interests “may” or “can” be considered: “Core to the objective, these projects must advance the interests of Indigenous peoples.”

And gender ideology?! – So say Trudough.

This means must, shall and no ifs, ands, or buts.  You see when things go south, and they will, Carney can lay the blame away from himself. Results of this? Nothing will get done.

In Canada, 1.4 million Indigenous and Metis people control the economic interests and health of 38.5 million people.

Canada is doomed unless we get rid of the current leadership in this country.

Ontario offers driver’s test in Punjabi, Somali and 30+ foreign languages

Better change all of the road signs then. If they can’t read English then they can’t read road signs either. What could possibly go wrong. Well:

“Caution: Bridge Is Out!”

 

With leaders like this, this country is fooked.

Following vid may be a tad long but it is humourous and accurately shows what a bunch of clowns we have for leaders in Canada. Enjoy:

Smokey The Bear

Given that the majority of forest / wildfires are caused by human activity I think that we should bring back that cultural icon: “Smokey the Bear!”

Smokey The Bear Poster

Growing up I remember seeing signs like this all along rural roads, rural highways and concession lines. Subconsciously and subliminally it made one think and perhaps take precautions.

But not anymore. They have disappeared from our cultural landscape.

They should also bring back lighters and ashtrays in cars and trucks. I once saw a guy flick his butt of the window of his moving car because he no other option to rid himself of the burning ember. Most cars today do not have ashtrays or lighters.

Just saying.

Summer In The City

I am so tired of the MSM and their continuous fear mongering when temps hit 30 plus.

Typical weather map today by the woke UN:

Or this:

Ah the good ole weather days when winters were cold and summers were hot, hot, hot. When weather meant a high or a low, a front or a trough. And when weathermen knew their stuff and were ambidextrous and creative.

30C is 88F. Just like your winter vacation to the Caribbean or Mexico;

32 is 89.6

34 is 93.2

No big deal. It is summer for effin sake. It is supposed to be hot. Here are some heat stats if you think today is somehow different.

  • 1901 – 1901 eastern United States heat wave killed 9,500 in the Eastern United States.
  • 1906 – during the 1906 United Kingdom heat wave which began in August and lasted into September broke numerous records. On September 2 temperatures reached 35.6 °C (96.1 °F), which still holds the September record, however some places beat their local record during September 1911 and September 2016.
  • 1911 – 1911 Eastern North America heat wave killed between 380 and 2,000 people.
  • 1911 – 1911 United Kingdom heat wave was one of the most severe periods of heat to hit the country with temperatures around 36 °C (97 °F). The heat began in early July and didn’t let up until mid-September where even in September temperatures were still up to 33 °C (91 °F). It took 79 years for temperature higher to be recorded in the United Kingdom during 1990 United Kingdom heat wave.
  • 1911 – 41,072 deaths were reported during a heat wave in France.
  • 1913 – in July, the hottest heat wave ever struck California. During this heat wave, Death Valley recorded a record high temperature of 57 °C (134 °F) at Furnace Creek, which still remains the highest ambient air temperature recorded on Earth.
  • 1921 – Hottest July on record across Eastern Canada and parts of the Northeastern US, part of a very warm year in those places. Parts of the United Kingdom also saw recording breaking heat, also part of a very warm year. The Central England Temperature for July was 18.5 °C (65.3 °F), which was the 8th warmest since records began in 1659, and the warmest since 1852. The year of 1921 was the warmest on record at the time but has since been eclipsed by 15 other years.
  • 1923–1924 – during a period of 160 such days from 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924, the Western Australian town of Marble Bar reached 38 °C (100 °F).
  • 1930s – Almost every year from 1930 to 1938 featured historic heat waves and droughts somewhere in North America, part of the Dust Bowl years.
  • 1936 – 1936 North American heat wave during the Dust Bowl, followed one of the coldest winters on record—the 1936 North American cold wave. Massive heat waves across North America were persistent in the 1930s, many mid-Atlantic/Ohio valley states recorded their highest temperatures during July 1934. The longest continuous string of 38 °C (100 °F) or higher temperatures was reached for 101 days in Yuma, Arizona during 1937 and the highest temperatures ever reached in Canada were recorded in two locations in Saskatchewan in July 1937.
  • 1947 – record breaking temperature of 37.6 °C (99.7 °F) in Paris recorded on June 26, 1947.[10]
  • 1950s – Prolonged severe drought and heat wave occurred in the early 1950s throughout the central and southern United States. Every year from 1952 to 1955 featured major heat waves across North America. In some areas it was drier than during the Dust Bowl and the heat wave in most areas was within the top five on record. The heat was particularly severe in 1954 with 22 days of temperatures exceeding 38 °C (100 °F) covering significant parts of eleven states. On 14 July, the thermometer reached 47 °C (117 °F) at East St. Louis, Illinois, which remains the record highest temperature for that state.
  • October 1952 – Romania was hit by very hot weather. Temperatures reached 39.0 °C (102.2 °F) on 2 October, with Bucharest reaching 35.2 °C (95.4 °F). Temperatures on the night of 2–3 October were also just under 26 °C (79 °F).
  • 1955 – 1955 United Kingdom heat wave was a period of hot weather that was accompanied by drought. In some places it was the worst drought on record, more severe than 1976 and 1995.
  • 1960 – on 2 January, Oodnadatta, South Australia hit 50.7 °C (123.3 °F) degrees, the highest temperature ever recorded in the Southern Hemisphere and Oceania.
  • 1972 – heat waves of 1972 in New York and Northeastern United States were significant. Almost 900 people died; the heat conditions lasted almost 16 days, aggravated by very high humidity levels.
  • 1976 – 1976 United Kingdom heat wave was one of the hottest in living memory, with temperatures exceeding 32 °C (90 °F) somewhere in the country for over two consecutive weeks. The heatwave was also accompanied by one of the worst droughts in British history, and reservoirs reached historic low levels during the heat wave that would not be seen again until the heat waves of the 21st century. The maximum recorded temperature of the heat wave, 35.9 °C (96.6 °F) at Cheltenham, Gloucestershire was at the time the third highest reliably recorded temperature in British history, with only the 1911 heat wave achieving higher reliably recorded temperatures.
  • 1980 – estimated 1,000 people died in the 1980 United States heat wave and drought, which impacted the central and eastern United States. Temperatures were highest in the southern plains. From June through September, temperatures remained above 32 °C (90 °F) all but two days in Kansas City, Missouri. The Dallas/Fort Worth area experienced 42 consecutive days with high temperatures above 38 °C (100 °F), with temperatures reaching 47 °C (117 °F) at Wichita Falls, Texas, on 28 June. Economic losses were $20 billion (1980 dollars).
  • 1981 – August 1981 heat wave in the Pacific Northwest.
  • 1983 – during the Summer of 1983 temperatures over 38 °C (100 °F) were common across Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, and certain parts of Kentucky; the summer of 1983 remains one of the hottest summers ever recorded in many of the states affected. The hundred-degree readings were accompanied by very dry conditions associated with drought affecting the Corn Belt States and Upper Midwest. The heat also affected the Southeastern U.S. and the Mid-Atlantic states as well that same summer. New York Times represented articles about the heat waves of 1983 affecting the central United States. This heat wave was associated with the I-94 derecho.
  • 1983 – United Kingdom experienced a heatwave during July 1983. This was the hottest month ever recorded until it was beaten in August 1995.
Temperature difference in Europe from the average during the European heat wave of 2003
  • 1987 – prolonged heat wave from 20 to 31 July in Greece, with more than 1,000 deaths in the area of Athens. The maximum temperature measured was 41.9 °C (107.4 °F) at 23 July at the center of Athens and in the suburb of Nea Philadelphia, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northeast was 43.6 °C (110.5 °F) on 27 July, and were combined with high minima, with the highest being 30.2 °C (86.4 °F) in the center of Athens at 27 July and 29.9 °C (85.8 °F) at 24 July at Nea Philadelphia. The lowest minimum was 25.6 °C (78.1 °F) at the center of Athens. Moreover, humidity was high and wind speeds low, contributing to human discomfort, even during the night.
  • 1988 – intense heat spells in combination with the drought of 1988, reminiscent of the dust bowl years caused deadly results across the United States. Official estimates report that 5,000 to 10,000 people died because of constant heat across the United States. Some estimates put total deaths at close to 17,000.

So there. The world is not going to end – as the UN would have us believe. To scare you even more the MSM will state: “It may be 30C but it feels like 42! BS! It is 30C. Cities are heat sinks and when near water they are humidity sinks as well.

My advice? Get out of the UN…Now! Turn off the TV weather reports.

From 1966………………………….
