November/December 2001 Interior the Barnes Review ... TO BRING HISTORY INTO ACCORD WITH THE FACTS In the Tradition of the Father of Historical Revisionism, Dr.Harry Elmer Barnes NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2001 O VOLUME VII O NUMBER 6 Table of Contents 5 THE HALF-FORGOTTEN AROOSTOOK WAR— STEPHEN J. MARTIN This war along the borderlands between Canada and the state of Maine turned out to be a bloodless one. But what was the great Daniel Webster doing, handing over American resources to the British? ... 11 REVERSE DISCRIMINATION:AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN AMERICA—HUGH MURRAY A white man who played a key role in the early days of “affirmative action” exposes the hypocrisy of the liberals. .. 19 RACIAL MIXING IN COLONIAL TIMES—ROBERT GROOMS Was there more interbreeding between the black and white races in the 17th and 18th centuries of early America than in the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries? So it would seem. 23 AJEWISH HOLOCAUST OF CHRISTIANS—ISRAEL SHAMIR It has come to light that a large number of Christians were murdered in Palestine in the seventh century. Proportionally speaking, in view of the overall world population, the death toll was equivalent to what today would be about 6 million. 27 THE IDEA OF EUROPE—DR. M. RAPHAEL JOHNSON What was the role of Christianity in the development of European civilization? A book review. ... 33 COUNT MANNERHEIM & THE FÜHRER—DANIEL W. MICHAELS This former head of state of Finland remains a man respected by everyone, and not without reason. A great military leader, he led his small country valiantly in their heroic struggle against the communists. 39 POLEVOY & THE LIBERATION OF AUSCHWITZ—DON HEDDESHEIMER A Soviet journalist known in the West as Boris Polevoy was the first to report on the so-called liberation of Auschwitz. Not too surprisingly, it turns out he was more of a propagandist than anything else. ... 44 THE FRENCH MASSACRE AT ORADOUR—FROM THE NATIONAL ZEITUNG Many wild stories have been circulated about the southwest French village of Oradour, allegedly the scene of many atrocities by German soldiers of World War II. The French government has ordered the relevant documents sealed until far into the 21st century. However, the truth about the village is now leaking out. 47 EDUARD BENES:THE BOHEMIAN PAWN—DANIEL W. MICHAELS It is hard to say anything good about the president of Czechoslovakia who turned his land over to the Reds and who oversaw the brutal expulsion of millions of innocent civilians who happened to be ethnically German. 53 HOLLYWOOD DISTORTS THE MEMORY OF PEARL HARBOR—MARGO TURNER Michael Eisner’s Disney corporation has produced an expensive, politically correct exploitation of the notorious “Day of Infamy.” . 59 THE LIFE AND DEATH OF WILLIAM JOYCE—MICHAEL WALSH They called him “Lord Haw-Haw” for his funny way of laughing. But William Joyce was a man of principle, willing to die for what he believed was right. ... 67 CIVIL WAR BREAKS OUT WITHIN THE NAZI PARTY—GEN.LEON DEGRELLE In 1933, Adolf Hitler found it necessary to move brutally against the radical wing of the National Socialist Party. ... 71 YEAR 2001 TBR INDEX Personal from the Editor he fear that the enemies of truth and justice have We here at TBR, however, are not frightened.

  • 7 Mahana Series Soils Are Described As Follows: This Series Consists of Well-Drained Soils on Uplands on the Islands of Kauai An
    Cultural Surveys Hawai‘i Job Code: HONOULIULI 172 Introduction Mahana series soils are described as follows: This series consists of well-drained soils on uplands on the islands of Kauai and Oahu. These soils developed in volcanic ash. They are gently sloping to very steep. Elevations range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet. The annual rainfall amounts to 30 to 45 inches. […] These soils are used for pasture, woodland, wildlife habitat, irrigated sugarcane, and water supply. The natural vegetation consists of puakeawe, aalii, ricegrass, molassesgrass, silver oak, yellow foxtail, lantana, joee, Japanese tea, passion flower, and associated plants. [Foote et al. 1972:85] Mahana silty clay loam, 6 to 12% slopes, eroded (McC2) soils are described as follows: This soil occurs on ridgetops and moderately sloping uplands […] Permeability is moderately rapid. Runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. […] In places roots penetrate to a depth of 5 feet or more. […] This soil is used for pasture, woodland, wildlife habitat, pineapple, and sugarcane. [Foote et al. 1972:85–86] Mahana silty clay loam, 12 to 20% slopes, eroded (McD2) soils, are described as having medium runoff and a moderate erosion hazard, used for pasture, woodland, wildlife habitat, and sugarcane (Foote et al. 1972). Mahana silty clay loam, 20 to 35% slopes, eroded (McE2) soils are further described as follows: Most of the surface layer has been removed by erosion. Runoff is very rapid, and the erosion hazard is very severe. Included in mapping were areas where all of the surface layer and part of the subsoil have been removed by erosion.

  • Response to the Peer Review Report EPA Base Case Version 5.13 Using IPM U.S
    Response to the Peer Review Report EPA Base Case Version 5.13 Using IPM U.S. EPA, Clean Air Markets Division SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION In October 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) commissioned a peer review of the EPA Base Case version 5.13 using the Integrated Planning Model (IPM). 1 RTI International, an independent contractor, facilitated the peer review of the EPA Base Case v.5.13 in compliance with EPA’s Peer Review Handbook (U.S. EPA, 2006) and produced a report from that peer review. RTI selected five peer reviewers (Anthony Paul, Meghan McGuinness, Walter Short, Paul Sotkiewicz, and John Weyant) who have expertise in energy policy, power sector modeling and economics to review the EPA Base Case v.5.13 and provide feedback. The peer reviewers evaluated the adequacy of the framework, assumptions, and supporting data used in the EPA Base Case v.5.13 using IPM, and they suggested potential improvements. IPM is a multiregional, dynamic, deterministic model of the U.S. power sector that provides forecasts of least-cost capacity expansion, electricity dispatch and emission reliability constraints. The EPA uses the platform to project and evaluate the cost and emissions impacts of various policies to limit emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, mercury, hydrogen chloride, and carbon dioxide (CO2). The independent peer review panel provided expert feedback on whether the analytical framework, assumptions and applications of data in the EPA’s Base Case v.5.13 using IPM are sufficient for the EPA’s needs in estimating the economic and emissions impacts associated with the power sector due to emissions policy alternatives.

  • Central Europe
    Central Europe Federal Republic of Germany Domestic Affairs J.N THE DOMESTIC SPHERE, 1981 and 1982 saw growing problems for the government coalition consisting of the Social Democratic party (SPD) and the Free Democratic party (FDP). Finally, on October 1, 1982, the government fell in a no-confidence vote—the first time this had occurred in the post-World War II period. The new coalition that assumed office was made up of the Christian Demo- cratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU), with the participation of the FDP; Chancellor Helmut Kohl headed the new coalition. There was a further decline in the economy in 1983—1981 and 1982 had been marked by economic recession—although the situation began to stabilize toward the end of the year. The change of government was confirmed by the public in the general elections held on March 6, 1983: the CDU-CSU won 48.8 per cent of the vote; the SPD 38.2 per cent; and the FDP 7.0 per cent, just narrowly escaping elimination from the Bundestag. The Greens, a party supported by a variety of environmentalist and pacifist groups, entered the federal parliament for the first time, having won 5.6 per cent of the vote. One of the leading representatives of the Greens, Werner Vogel, returned his mandate after an internal party dispute con- cerning his Nazi past. The peace movement and the Greens, often seconded by the SPD, were extremely critical of the policy of Western military strength advocated by the Reagan adminis- tration in Washington. More than half a million people participated in a series of peaceful demonstrations against nuclear weapons in October.

  • Complicity with International Core Crimes and Business Dealings
    Complicity in international criminal law: A fragmented law in need of a new approach By Patrick Lamarre A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Law in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Laws Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2015 Copyright © Patrick Lamarre, 2015 Abstract Since the advent of the concept of complicity in international crimes in the years following the end of World War 2, the international jurisprudence has had difficulties in conclusively establishing the content of this concept. To that effect, the ICTY, ICTR, SCSL, STL, and the ICC’s jurisprudence contain complicated, unresolved issues that need to be addressed in order to safeguard coherence in ICL. An example of the results of these issues is the discrepancy between the outcome in the cases of Charles Taylor and of Momcilo Perisic where, for essentially the same conduct, the former was convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison while the latter was acquitted of all charges. In the current situation of on-going legitimacy deficit of international criminal law, this problem must be tackled efficiently. To do so, in this paper, I identified the issues of complicity in ICL and tried to find solutions for them through a proposed definition of the concept of complicity which could be incorporated in the statutes of international criminal tribunals or in the international jurisprudence. According to my proposition, an aid, assistance, or support that has a substantial effect on the commission of the crime by the perpetrator given while the accomplice knew or was wilfully blind that the crime was being committed or that the perpetrator wanted to commit the crime and that, in the normal course of events, it was almost inevitable that the crime would be committed would be the new legal standard for complicity in ICL.

  • In Der DDR Gegen Nazi- Und Kriegsverbrecher Doch, Zugegeben, Das Ist Nur Die Eine Seite Der Geschichte
    Gespanntes Verhältnis Koloniales Schulwissen Merkwürdiges Etwas Friedliches Zusammenleben In Witzenhausen bereitete Viele glauben, dass »Dunkle von Christen und Muslimen man junge Menschen auf Materie« die Galaxien in Frankreich ist in weite das Leben in »Deutsch- zusammenhält. Aber sie zu Ferne gerückt. Seite 21 Südwestafrika« vor. Seite 25 finden, ist schwierig. Seite 26 Sonnabend/Sonntag, 17./18. September 2016 www.neues-deutschland.de Sieben Tage, sieben Nächte In seinem charmant erzählten naturwissenschaftlichen Rund- umschlag »Eine kurze Geschich- te von fast allem« beglück- wünscht Autor Bill Bryson zu- nächst die Leserinnen und Leser. Nicht etwa zum Kauf seines Bu- ches. Sondern dazu, dass sie es bis zur schlichten Existenz in der Gegenwart geschafft haben. Schließlich mussten dafür nicht nur die jeweiligen Eltern Krie- gen, Krankheiten und anderen Gefahren trotzen und sich zu- sammenfinden, sondern auch Großeltern, Ur-, Urur-, Ururur-, Urururur-, Ururururur- usw. -großeltern. Dass ausgerechnet die eigene Ahnenlinie seit Urzei- ten, als man noch nicht einmal von Menschen sprechen konnte, niemals abgebrochen ist, ist ein ungeheuerlicher Zufall. Eine Kurzrecherche ergibt, dass »neues deutschland« den Zufall und seine enorme Be- deutung für Zeitgeschehen und Weltgeschichte systematisch vernachlässigt und offenbar völlig unterschätzt. Im Schnitt taucht das Wort nicht einmal täglich in der Zeitung auf und – so die starke Vermutung – häu- fig davon noch in Floskeln wie »es kann kein Zufall sein, dass«. Ist der Zufall einmal augenfällig, weil jemandem der redensartli- che Blumentopf auf den Kopf fällt, wird er auf »Panorama« behandelt. Als politische Tages- zeitung – so dürfte ansonsten die Erklärung lauten – beschäf- tigt man sich naturgemäß mit Vorgängen, bei denen es sich nicht um Zufälle handelt.
