Could be worse?

“a round shot took off his head & spattered the whole battalion with his brain, the colours & ensigns in charge coming in for an extra share. A 2nd shot carried off 6 of the men’s bayonets, a 3rd broke the breastbone of a Lance-Sergeant”

Dead horses had metal shoes ripped off for re-selling before being arranged in vast pyres & set alight. The scene was made even more hellish by the stacks of unburied human bodies that lay around for days afterwards, literally going black in the scorching heat of the June sun
The only thing to do was burn the men just as they did the horses - according to one source

"they have been obliged to burn upwards of a thousand carcasses, an awful holocaust to the War-Demon".

Local scavengers knew used pliers to yank thousands of teeth from the dead bodies of British, French & Prussian soldiers, carefully sorting them according to shape and size to create full sets of teeth.

The flood of dentures that resulted became known as "Waterloo teeth".
‘Oh Sir, only let there be a battle, and there’ll be no want of teeth. I’ll draw them as fast as the men are knocked down.’

Dentures & Quote: Who Cleared Corpses from Napoleonic Battlefields?

militaryhistorynow.com/2018/08/21/bri…
The Fate of Heroes?

Human remains could still be seen at Waterloo a year later. A company was contracted to collect the visible bones & grind them up for fertilizer. Other Napoleonic battlefields were also reportedly scoured for this purpose. In 1822 a British paper reported:
the Last Boot

"A man of the transport corps, thinking me dead, had stripped me and wishing to pull off the only boot that remained, was dragging me by one leg with his foot against my body. I succeeded in sitting up and spitting out the clots of blood from my throat"
Letter from Waterloo

On 21 June 1815, three days after the Battle of Waterloo, Private James Wilson of the 1st Life Guards wrote a letter to his friend, Corporal Hemsleyin, which he described his part in the battle.

Pressure is needed on people like @realannapaulina @RepLuna & @GOPoversight team as their mandate may dissolve in August.

They did Kennedy, but they are supposed to do UFO files & CoVid-19 origins before they dissolve.

We also need to know about the subpoenas sent by @RandPaul

🧵Rev. Billy's Lab Leak Cover-Up Sermon

1. Brethren, hear me now, for we stand at the precipice of a great & grievous iniquity!

The world has been ensnared by a monstrous conspiracy, a vile machination spun by a clique of scientists, experts, media scribes & state overlords!
🧵2. Let us never forget!

Those who, in their arrogance, have sought to veil the truth of the COVID pestilence!

And I say to you today, that this is no mere error, but a deliberate, diabolical plot to obscure the origins of a plague that has scourged the nations!
🧵3. The Vocabulary of Deception

Let us expose this falsehood, this house of deceit

& the duties of the vigilant in these perilous times!

Oh, what a wretched lexicon these deceivers employ! Their words are cloaked in the garb of science, yet they reek of falsehood & treachery!

GUESS WHO SAID THIS?

"During shooting in Thailand, I was shocked by Daszak’s fast & loose with facts, his refusal to acknowledge his conflict of interest,& his denial of his gain-of-function res in collaboration with Wuhan lab"
You guessed right, i hope?

@janeqiuchina

She continued:

"I was equally shocked by Daszak’s constant self-promotion and how effective it was." Image
@janeqiuchina About the film:

"Blame: Bats, Politics & a Planet Out of Balance"

"Christian Frei seemed entranced by hero worshipping, apparently having lost all sense of objectivity & critical judgment. I felt strongly then, as I do now, that the film was a blatant piece of propaganda" Image

Sebastian Castellio (1551)

To seek truth & to utter what one believes to be true can never be a crime. No one must be forced to accept a conviction

Conviction is free

One of the first proponents of religious toleration, freedom of conscience & thought

gospeltruth.net/zweig/heresy_c…Image
One of the great forgotten men of the Reformation.

One of the greatest minds in Geneva, a brilliant scholar and thinker.

Sebastian Castellio published what has been called "the first manifesto in favor of toleration"

The Plague in Geneva

At the same time, he was the only minister in Geneva during Calvin’s day to risk his life to assist the sick during the Black Plague.

The friend of Truth obeys not the multitude, but the Truth.”
