Gino Massetti was 15 when he was rounded up by German troops near the Italian village of Falzano di Cortona and herded with 10 other civilians into a barn. Now 79, Massetti told a Munich state court Tuesday at the trial of a former army officer accused of murder that he was sure he was going to die when he was seized by a group of up to 30 soldiers. "I was panicked like a little puppy," he testified. The Germans blew up the barn, killing everyone inside except Massetti. "I heard a scream, and that was it then," he said. "They were all dead." ...

During WWII, plucky Londoners tore down their beautiful Victorian cast-iron railings, sending them off to be recycled into guns and tanks. Today, Spaniards are being asked to do something similar : Spanish officials were yesterday reported to be looking for ways of encouraging Spaniards to remove the estimated 108m €500 notes they have hoarded in safes or under floorboards and take them to the bank. That averages out to at least two per Spaniard, or a total of €54bn, circulating outside the country's banking system. We can trust, I hope, that the banknotes won't end up at the bottom of the Thames Estuary, as the railings did . ...

Americans now pay less in taxes than at any time since WWII. The low tax rate, in effect for eight years now, has not produced anything resembling general prosperity. Republican economic policy holds that lower taxes will increase government revenues by stimulating economic growth. That has never happened, and we have tried it twice now, with Reagan and Bush 43. The result has been increasing national debt. The income tax was enacted under the authority of the 16th Amendment in 1913. The progressive rate tax, a system under which higher incomes are taxed at a higher rate, was always a part of the system. Prior to the Great Depression the top rate was 25%. It was raised during the Depression and for the war years and after to the vicinity of 70% - 90%. Over the years the top rate has been as high as 70%-91% for more time than it has been low 25%-39%. In 1981 Reagan raised the bottom rate from 10% to 15% while lowering the top bracket from 70% to 50%. The top rate was lowered again in 1986 to 28%. The result was a huge run up in the national debt because the theoretical economic growth that would have generated increasing revenues didn't happen. Bush 41 raised the top tax rate to 35%, the famous "read my lips" tax increase. Clinton managed to balance the budget mostly by raising the top bracket to 39% from 35%. Bush 43 reinstituted the 10% bracket and reduced the top rate to its current rate of 35% from 39%. The result, deficit spe ...
Recon: Abandoned WWII Munitions Facility Debrief: While at work on Friday, I had that itch to go do some exploring. It had been a long week and I wanted to put my brain in a different gear for a while. Shortly after that I got a text message that read "I'm thinking about checking out this old WWII munitions site." Sounds like just what the doctor ordered. The plan, as with any recon, is to locate and identify. So we figured on rolling out there in the daylight, looking around and then grabbing a beer or three afterwards. Unfortunately, we both ended up working later than expected so we didn't get out of the office until well after 6. If there's one thing you can count on up here, it's that when the sun starts to set it doesn't waste any time. By the time we got there, there was just a little light left, so I snapped this as the sun went down. It's on my camera phone, which isn't the best, but it's a cool shot. After finding a suitable place to park, we walked around a bit and took some more shots of the various columns and stuff. We're not really sure what the purpose of this place was, but it was too cool to pass up. We walked around for a while, snapping shots from various directions and trying to make the best of the little bit of light we had left. Grabbing some flashlights out of the jeep, we decided to head down to the main place. One of the cool things about really really old (WW-II era) sites is that they relied pretty heavily ...
-By Warner Todd Huston I have for years been saying that Franklin D. Roosevelt prolonged the Great Depression with his anti-capitalist, anti-American New Deal polices. Looks like some professors at UCLA agree with me . “President Roosevelt believed that excessive competition was responsible for the Depression by reducing prices and wages, and by extension reducing employment and demand for goods and services,” said Cole, also a UCLA professor of economics. “So he came up with a recovery package that would be unimaginable today, allowing businesses in every industry to collude without the threat of antitrust prosecution and workers to demand salaries about 25 percent above where they ought to have been, given market forces. The economy was poised for a beautiful recovery, but that recovery was stalled by these misguided policies.” Many people have been fooled by left-wing hortatory (or maybe whore-atory is closer) biographies for years. FDR was our savior, they claim. In truth, FDR was a failure in everything but the prosecution of the war. If there was no WWII FDR would have gone down in history as an utter failure. FDR was the closest thing we’ve ever had to a socialist in the White House and has an utterly undeserved reputation. In any case his reputation for saving the economy is pure bunk. “The fact that the Depression dragged on for years convinced generations of economists and policy-makers that capitalism could not be trus ...
