US Department of Justice, Memorandum for Alberto R. Gonzales, Counsel to the President, Re: Standards of Conduct for Interrogation under 18U.S.C.∫∫ 2340-2340A, August 1 2002. In this, as in many things, Douthat was ahead of the conservative intellectual curve by a year or two. And in this, as in many things, he was dangerously wrong.
The group Collective Shout said pornography profits had been prioritised over the protection of children.Wagner, founded by businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, has been implicated in suspected war crimes in Ukraine, as well as in Syria and Mali. Prigozhin ‘fully agrees’ with the ad Some observers claim that taking " trophy photos" of your enemy in an armed conflict contravenes the Geneva Convention. (Warning: graphic imagery) The government has caved to the vested interests of the porn industry,” Collective Shout director Melinda Tankard Reist said. For readers of Peggy Orenstein and Rebecca Traister , an authoritative, big think look at pornography in all its facets - historical, religious, and cultural. German soldiers exchanging their clothes with their girlfriends. Those uniforms really fit those Frenchwomen pretty well!
In 1942, Germany dominated most of Europe. Greater Germany had been enlarged at the expense of its neighbors. They were there, and, like soldiers of every army of every period of history, as soon as they got comfortable they started scouting around for women. And, as always in times of military occupation, there were women to be found. We’re the most bad-ass private army in the world. We’re hiring in all regions of Russia,” a woman’s voice can be heard saying. “Don’t j--k off, go to work for PMC Wagner.” As noted by Rolling Stone, West said at one point in the interview that “there is a collusion of Jewish attorneys and managers and everything else you can think of” who “give America porn”. He reportedly likened the media form to the horrors faced by Jewish communities in World War II, calling pornography “the gas chamber” and “a silent killer” used to “dumb us down”.Pornography of images Baudrillard exposed in his essay War Porn is pornography of abjection, of an act of exposure and of a desire to see behind the veil, which aligns images with war. No longer are images a source of information, for images need to be different from war if they are to inform, instead they are as virtual as war itself (Baudrillard, 2005a: 207). Their violence adds to the violence of war. Instead of looking for information images are seduced by violence of war, the exposures of gruesome, disturbing, and the obscene aspects of war. But also they themselves seduce with their content, that is a depiction of violence. They seduce and sterilise for they remove the secretive, hidden, imaginary aspect of war; they reduce war to a series of mechanical acts, repetitions, enactments, or exposures. By exposing and making everything visible (or even beyond-visible) they evacuate imagination and turn war into pornography. Thus, as Baudrillard (2005c: 25) writes: “In reality there is no pornography, since it is virtually everywhere. The essence of pornography permeates all visual and televisual techniques”. The only reality left is a reality of simulation – there is nothing more to representation but that which is seen, visible and is constantly presenting itself as such. The perverse power of images Baudrillard discusses in his essay derives from their complacency with the simulation of war, from their production of simulation, and from their failure to resist the seductive power of war. What these images depict fails to resist war simulation; instead they are its continuative element as they reveal the ideology of war itself (that is a struggle for the eradication of difference). Estimates of rape victims from the city's two main hospitals ranged from 95,000 to 130,000. One doctor deduced that out of approximately 100,000 women raped in the city, some 10,000 died as a result, mostly from suicide. The death rate was thought to have been much higher among the 1.4 million estimated victims in East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia. Altogether at least two million German women are thought to have been raped, and a substantial minority, if not a majority, appear to have suffered multiple rape. The Japanese were dropping propaganda leaflets… And for the friendliest of friendly persuasion, pictures of a beautiful blonde stripper, private parts and all: ‘You too can enjoy this if you surrender.’ The propaganda bombers came droning over every day. It was like having the paper delivered. Some of the troops started trading the leaflets like baseball cards. But this year, when presented with the final report and recommendation, the Albanese Government rejected a push for a full-scale rollout and opted to let the pornography sector police itself.
