We only had these withered seed potatoes. We soaked shoes in water and ate the leather. We could find water, but little food.<\/p>\n<p>We came to an empty village. All the villagers had fled because they were afraid. There was just one woman left in this village. She could speak Japanese. She told me her parents told her to flee. But she told them, &#8220;The Japanese people aren&#8217;t such bad people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This was the enemy zone. And I hadn&#8217;t been to a comfort station for three months. So when I saw a woman, the first thing that came to my mind was to rape her. I had no hesitation.<\/p>\n<p>She resisted. But her resistance didn&#8217;t affect me. I didn&#8217;t listen to her. I didn&#8217;t look at her face. I raped her. Then I killed her.<\/p>\n<p>I stabbed her. On television, you see a lot of blood flow out, but that&#8217;s not the reality. I&#8217;ve cut people with swords, and you&#8217;re not covered with blood. It doesn&#8217;t splash like you see in movies. If you cut the neck, you see a bit of blood, but it&#8217;s not like the films. I don&#8217;t know how many people I&#8217;ve killed, but I&#8217;ve never experienced anything like that. When I killed that woman, I wasn&#8217;t covered with blood. There was just a little blood flowing out from her heart.<\/p>\n<p>After I killed her, I thought of eating her. I was thinking of how to feed my soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t need much force. It went very smoothly. I used a sharp Chinese kitchen knife. It only took me about ten minutes. I didn&#8217;t cut the bones. I just cut where there was a lot of meat\u2014mainly the thighs, bottom, and shoulder. When I cut her up into meat, there wasn&#8217;t that much blood.<\/p>\n<p>I took her meat back and gave it to one of my soldiers to cook. If you cut it up into slices, you can&#8217;t recognize what sort of meat it is. He didn&#8217;t ask where the meat came from. I told them this was special distribution of food.<\/p>\n<p>We had a barbecue and we ate her meat. There were only a few slices per soldier. There were sixty people in my company. They were happy to have this meat. They said it tasted very good.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bodies-on-the-stairs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bodies-on-the-stairs-216x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bodies-on-the-stairs-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bodies-on-the-stairs.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Massacred Chinese civilians in Nanking<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Culled from: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UEoUIr\">Flyboys<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Arcane Excerpts<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ac189df6-b73f-4d94-9bb0-e6566f0c221e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ac189df6-b73f-4d94-9bb0-e6566f0c221e-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ac189df6-b73f-4d94-9bb0-e6566f0c221e-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ac189df6-b73f-4d94-9bb0-e6566f0c221e-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ac189df6-b73f-4d94-9bb0-e6566f0c221e-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ac189df6-b73f-4d94-9bb0-e6566f0c221e-620x620.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/ac189df6-b73f-4d94-9bb0-e6566f0c221e.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an excerpt from\u00a0<em>Inter-Marriage or the Reason Beauty, Health and Intellect Result from Certain Unions and Deformity, Disease and Insanity from Others<\/em> by Alexander Walker, 1839 discussing the sad effects of \u201cUnnatural Indulgence\u201d.\u00a0 \u00a0(We began this chapter on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decidedlygrim.net\/?p=7599\">4\/20\/21 MFDJ<\/a> if you&#8217;d like to revisit it.)<\/p>\n<p>Long previous to these severe effects, the losses which have been described arrest the increase of stature, and stop the growth of all the organs, and the development of all the functions. It is an earlier puberty which renders the southern people shorter than the northern.\u00a0 [<em>I believe the author just said that southern people are short because they masturbate too much. &#8211; DeSpair<\/em>] And a sense of this seems to have prevailed from the remotest times. Amongst the Germans, according to Julius Caesar, the act of reproduction was not permitted to adolescents before twenty without incurring infamy; and to this he attributes the stature and strength of that simple people.<\/p>\n<p>An incapability of ever giving life to strong and robust children, is another effect of these losses, which precedes the total ruin of the individual.<\/p>\n<p>Intelligent instructors will know both how to divine the bad habits of their pupils, and how to avoid all excitement of them.<\/p>\n<p>Much attention has recently been paid to the nature of punishments. There are few of them that should not be avoided; but to punish a child by shutting him up alone in a room, is a sad error, if there be any reason to suspect him of bad habits.<\/p>\n<p>Medicinal remedies, astringents, sudorifics, &amp;c., are weakening and injurious in other respects; and mechanical means directly applied to the organs, are likely to draw the attention, and determine the blood, to the part whence it should be diverted.<\/p>\n<p>Moral means consist of good habits previous to puberty, the influence of fear and respect, and that of the nobler feelings predominating over the baser passions.<\/p>\n<p>This assuredly will be more easily accomplished in well-directed private education, than in public schools.<\/p>\n<p>When conviction of the existence of bad habits is acquired, it becomes necessary to speak to the subject of them mildly and rationally respecting his injurious practice.\u2014It is feared that the works on the subject, if they have cured some, have made others acquainted with vice of this kind. But there can be no danger in placing such works in the hands of children whose conduct has given rise to suspicion.<\/p>\n<p>In such cases, exciting and superabundant food is highly injurious. The diet should be chiefly or altogether vegetable; and no vinous or spirituous drinks should be permitted. The latter are indeed, of themselves, quite sufficient to produce, at any time, the worst habits; and the parent who has suffered their use, has no right to complain either of precocious puberty, or of unnatural indulgences.<\/p>\n<p>As it is well known, that the almost unremitting employment of his muscles diverts the labourer from this vice, whilst shepherds, who watch their flocks in sequestered places, have been generally accused of it, it is evident that if, in youths, the superabundance of nervous power were carried off by exercise, they would be rendered more tranquil and more attentive to instruction, and would consequently make greater progress in knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>When boys suffer nocturnal affections of this kind, involuntarily produced, similar care and treatment are required. All that heats the imagination and is likely to recur in dreams must then be avoided, as should every physical circumstance tending to assist it\u2014suppers, down beds, hot bed-clothing, &amp;c.<\/p>\n<p>Such affections when awake, are the results of confirmed disease, requiring the union of medical treatment with physical and moral education.<\/p>\n<p>The vice which has now been described in boys, appears among girls, and produces similar symptoms. [<em>God, no! &#8211; DeSpair<\/em>]<\/p>\n<p>In general, the victims of this depravity are announced by their aspect. &#8220;The roses fade from the cheeks; the face assumes an appearance of faintness and weakness; the skin becomes rough; the eyes lose their brightness, and a livid circle surrounds them; the lips become colourless; and all the features sink down, and become disordered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If the depravity be not arrested, general disease and local affections of the organs of reproduction ensue\u2014acrid leucorrhea, ulcerations of the vulvo-uterine canal, falling and various diseases of the matrix, abortions, and sometimes nymphomania and furor uterinus, terminate life amidst delirium and convulsions.<\/p>\n<p>Sapphic tastes form another aberration of love, of which Sappho and the lovers of their own sex were accused by Seneca, St. Augustine, &amp;c. &#8220;Her ode, breathing the languor, abandonment, delirium, ecstasy, and convulsions of love, was addressed, not to a lover, but to one of her female companions [<em>A female companion can&#8217;t be a lover?\u00a0 &#8211; DeSpair<\/em>]; and, amongst the fragments of her poetry, are some voluptuous verses addressed to two Grecian girls, her pupils and lovers.&#8221; As there were many women at Lesbos who adopted the habits of Sappho, the term Lesbian habits was used to express these. \u2014The women of Lesbos also fell into other errors, which gained them the epithet of Fellatrix.<\/p>\n<p>These turpitudes, as if they were natural but unfortunate compensations to women subject to polygamy, are said to be still well known to the Turkish and Syrian women at their baths. And it is not improbable, that this occasioned, in southern countries, the excision of the clitoris.<\/p>\n<p>It is evident that the victims of this depravity demand the most active vigilance of mothers, if they desire to preserve either the morals or the health of their daughters. It is evident, also, that the same practices are scarcely less injurious at a more advanced age.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Andersonville Prisoner Diary Entry Du Jour!<\/h3>\n<p>This is the continuation of the 1864 diary of Andersonville prisoner Private George A.

This is about the last of Andersonville for us, and it is a general abandoning of this horrid place. Orders came for us all to be ready to start at eleven A.M., but transportation did not arrive, and we did not start until ten at night, when we were roused out of a sound sleep, and went through the gates in perfect darkness and in a pelting rain, thus passing out of a place which, however long we live, will always combine more of the realities to be expected in that dark and terrible region of despair of the future world known as &#8220;hell,&#8221; than any other can to us. In the pitchy darkness we were packed into old freight cars (eight-three in a car), the doors were shut and secured, and we were soon moving towards Macon.<\/p>\n<p>Culled from:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48Dz0hh\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48Dz0hh\">Andersonville: Giving Up the Ghost<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Depraved Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
