built 156 days ago
Human remains found on Kiska Island off Alaska have been identified as that of a Navy seaman from Oklahoma who went missing in action in World War II. Seaman 2nd Class Dee Hall was one of seven crewmen aboard a PBY-5 Catalina flying boat that left Kodiak Island, Alaska, on June 14, 1942, to attack Japanese targets in Kiska Harbor in the Aleutians. The plane crashed on the side of Kiska Volcano in bad weather and under heavy Japanese anti-aircraft fire.

As with the events of 7/7, on the day of 911 there were “war games” “simulating” attacks on the same targets in the same matter that occurred. The odds of this being a “coincidence” are astronomical.
It is vital to oppose the capitalist war with a clear policy on these lines. Such a policy can win the support of the advanced workers, and ... wider layers of the working class, countering the lying propaganda of the capitalist class. In the course of the crisis, the television and especially the press have sunk to new depths, attempting to whip up vile chauvinist and warmongering sentiments. In attacking its sleazy rival, the Sun, the Daily Mirror said that it had sunk from the gutter to the sewer – a description which also fits the Mirror and the rest of the capitalist press!
A Royal Air Force fighter pilot who rammed a German bomber to prevent it attacking Buckingham Palace during World War II is to be posthumously honored for his valor. Sergeant Ray Holmes, who died earlier this year at the age of 90, used his Hurricane to bring down the German Dornier before it reached the palace, London home of the British monarch.
