@elonmusk Ever heard of Dietrich Bonhoeffer?

If they’re willing to die to assassinate, imagine what they will do if they gain political power

@ccpecknold @VP Because of Trump, I think that he has no hope to be president. Think about Al Gore.

Never black pill. @VP

Horizontal collaboration referred to romantic or sexual relationship that many women in France actually or allegedly had with members of German occupation forces after the Fall of France in 1940. The existence of those liaisons had been a major reason for young men to join the French Resistance. After the Liberation of France from German occupation, such women were often punished for collaboration with the German occupiers. After the war, throughout France, women accused of collaboration had their heads shaved. These women were referred to as "femmes tondues" (shaven women) and were easily identifiable. In many of the 20,000 cases, the women in question had performed only professional services for occupying Germans, rather than being engaged in sexual relationships with them. The head-shaving in public spaces being used to punish women thought to be collaborators and the presence of many foreign photographers in post-war France have caused thousands of photos exist of women being subjected to that punishment. "Collaboration horizontale" is believed to have produced 200,000 French babies with German fathers. Since 2009 Germany has offered these children of "the other bank of the Rhine" citizenship, after French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner lobbied for their recognition. The same phenomenon and later punishments occurred in other parts of Europe that were occupied by Germany during the war. Horizontal collaboration was also seen and condemned in other countries occupied by Germany during WWII, such as in Serbia and in Norway, where the so-called Norwegian tyskertøs (German sluts) included thousands who actively participated in Lebensborn program and others, such as mother of ABBA member Anni-Frid Lyngstad, who independently had children with a German soldier. Rather than shaving their heads, women accused of horizontal collaboration in Norway were subjected to public exile and even arrest or internment. Any child that came from relationships between local women and German soldiers was also considered part of the betrayal and so was equally exiled and considered illegitimate or bastards; Lyngstad's mother sent her to Sweden to avoid that. In both Norway and Serbia, horizontal collaboration was seen as a betrayal of one's own country during the war and was often treated as an act of aggression. In Hiroshima mon amour (1959), female protagonist is revealed to have been shaven as punishment for collaboration horizontale as a result of her relationship with a German soldier. The film visually linked the suffering of women forcibly shaved after D-Day with the loss of hair experienced by survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The phenomenon also inspired the 2010 film Collaboration horizontale, a documentary exploring what happened to the baby shown in the photo of The Shaved Woman of Chartres. In the 2000 film Malèna, a woman in wartime Sicily is punished for her beauty and her liaisons with German soldiers by the local women ripping off her clothes, beating her and shaving her hair. In the fourth episode of the 2001 series Band of Brothers, multiple Dutch women can be seen shaved with a black swastika on their forehead for collaborating with the Nazis. The 2019 graphic novel Horizontal Collaboration tells the story of a liaison between a French woman and a German soldier in wartime France. 📷 : A woman's head is shaved as punishment for collaboration horizontale. Montélimar area, France (August 29, 1944). Head-shaving was a common punishment in France and across Europe for female Nazi collaborators.... #archaeohistories

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today #10 - Alan Dershowitz says he knows “for a FACT” that the Epstein Files are being suppressed to protect powerful people. “I know the names of the individuals. I know why they’re being suppressed. I know who’s suppressing them, but I’m bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can’t disclose what I know. But, hand to God, I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that’s wrong!” @SeanSpicer asked, “Just out of curiosity, without names, are these politicians, business leaders, both?” “They’re everything,” Dershowitz replied. This is a HUGE statement because Dershowitz was part of Epstein’s legal defense team. What he said here just ensured the Epstein story is never going away. *SEE THE NEXT 9 STORIES BELOW* 🧵 THREAD
