Overnight Open Thread (3-30-2014)If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs... And do what needs to be done when it's time for it. On July 18, 1965 then CDR Denton was shot down over North Vietnam where he would be a POW for the next seven and half years. After extended torture and solitary confinement the North Vietnamese thought he was sufficiently softened up to be used in propaganda videos. They were wrong. Denton's name first came to the attention of the American public in 1966, during a television interview arranged by the North Vietnamese in Hanoi. Prior to the interview, torture and threats of more torture were applied to intimidate him to "respond properly and politely." His captors thought he was softened up sufficiently to give the North Vietnamese their propaganda line Throughout the interview, while responding to questions and feigning sensitivity to harsh lighting, Denton blinked his eyes in Morse Code, repeatedly spelling out a covert message: T-O-R-T-U-R-E. The interview, which the Japanese journalist clandestinely took from Hanoi to Tokyo and sold to ABC was broadcast on American television on May 17, 1966[. It] was the first confirmation that American POWs in Vietnam were being tortured. You can watch his message in this video. The Morse code for 'torture' is - --- .-. - ..- .-. .
Gawker's Adam Weinstein Wants to Put You in Jail for Being a Climate Change 'Denier' Those denialists should face jail. They should face fines. They should face lawsuits from the classes of people whose lives and livelihoods are most threatened by denialist tactics. I wonder if these climate gulags will be heated with Green-based energy sources. Russia Supposedly Eyeing Finland Once Again Well good luck with that. As the USSR learned during the Winter War the Finns are not to be trifled with. Simo Häyhä may have died in 2002 but the spirit of sisu lives on. The fact that Finnish is one of the few non-Indo-European languages left in Europe is telling. (Hint: it's not due to geography). One of Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest ex-advisers has claimed that the ex-KGB agent ultimately wants to reclaim Finland for Russia. Of course there's a big difference between wanting something and being able to take it. Argentina Is Joined In The Supreme Court By The Coalition Of Weasels As they try to weasel out of their debts yet again. Never mentioned is that the 'crisis' in Argentina actually consists of nothing more than that the politicians would rather spend money on various forms of vote buying than on paying their debts. They don't have to pay for any wars. (The Falklands war was way back in 1982.) They haven't had any natural disasters to speak of. Whatever crisis they have is completely of their own making, born of incompetent economic policy and waste Argentina should be a wealthy nation yet they've continually lurched from bankruptcy to bankruptcy. The fault is strictly their own. Why Were the Lights on at the Earth Hour Concert? Or is it just another excuse for a self-congratulatory party. Well based on the lady Danes I've met, I'm totally willing to help them out in their time of baby need. The Dune in Your Head vs the One that Almost Got Made Which could have have been awesome even given the special effects technology of the time. Finally, the story of the greatest science fiction epic never made has finally been told. Jodorowsky's Dune is a new documentary about that beautiful, crazy-ambitious, disaster of an adaptation. And then add in H.R. Giger, Dan O'Bannon, and soundtrack contributions from Pink Floyd. Swedish Man Buys Army Tank 'on Impulse' Well I would have too if I found one in the same condition for just $11,700. Of course then the hard part would be explaining to the wife that the driveway now belongs to the APC so she'll have to park on the street. Jimmy Johansson, a 23-year-old from Borlänge in central Sweden, can now add tank to his list of possessions. But the 76,000 kronor ($11,700) purchase wasn't something he planned. And the best part of the story: The purchase was encouraged by Johansson's mother. Weekly Commenter Standings Top 10 commenters: Top 10 sockpuppeteers: The group. Yeah.
