Tempesta's culatello is savory with deep flavor. It is made from the center cut of the leg and is cured with only salt, pepper, and red wine. It is cut from the most desirable part of the leg muscle, the center cut, and for this reason is often referred to as the King of charcuterie. If you have a meat slicer, this is an obvious choice, but it can also be easily sliced with a sharp knife! Each ham comes with a cloth netting for easy storage in the refrigerator where it lasts up to a year.
Antonio Fiasche of Tempesta Artisan Salumi is a fifth generation curemaster based in Chicago, who has infused a new energy into his family's tradition of cooking and curing in the Calabrian style. Antonio and his team are creating a bold and imaginative line of diverse products, forging new flavor traditions without boundaries, including the world's best BBQ rub. Antonio, a Good Food Awards winner, only uses the highest quality ingredients. We are proud to work with him, crafting our 100 percent pure heritage breeds into new, delicious experiences.


In my days as a professor, I had some plagiarists.
I have zero sympathy for such people.
It was easy to spot a plagiarist. I would look at the person's paper and know: college freshmen don't write like this. The student has no idea what any of this means.
Then I'd find the source they copied from. It was easy: it was always on the first page of Google. You'd think they'd cover themselves a bit by checking out page 37, but they never did.
I'd then call the student into my office.
I would ask the squirming student what particular sentences meant.
They soon figured out that I knew.
And of course, they had no idea what those sentences meant.
One time a student actually swiped a passage from libertarian writer Wendy McElroy, whom I actually know.
On another occasion a student's paper on Thomas Sowell's book Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality? consisted of some Amazon reviews of the book strung together.
The one original sentence of the entire paper said something about racism being the cause of income disparities between blacks and whites, which is something like the opposite of the thesis of Sowell's book.
Yesterday a friend of mine in the marketing world discovered that a reasonably well known young marketer had, for a second time [!], used huge passages of this guy's advertising copy in his own offer.
My friend put up a side-by-side screenshot of his writing next to this other fellow's. Absolutely identical.
In the comments, people really piled on.
Eventually the perp himself showed up and came clean. He made no excuses. He apologized.
Some people said: what a guy! He didn't make excuses! He apologized!
My response: what else could he do? He had no choice. An apology alone doesn't make him a decent fellow. Nobody in his right mind in that thread will ever do business with him again.
And what a shame: that guy just blew one of the best gigs in the world. He sells mainly information products, which are infinitely reproducible, require no inventory, and have practically no overhead. People who work in this field can do so from anywhere and at any time.
I do a lot of this myself, and I've got a pretty darn nice life as a result.
Well, I got a free membership for you at something called Product Profits Club, which contains some helpful training videos and some recommended resources for people just starting out.
But don't blow it like that jerk.

Dane County Sheriff's Office
Two Sun Prairie men were arrested for operating while intoxicated after crashes Wednesday night, with one seriously injured, police reported.
Shortly before midnight, deputies responded to a rollover crash on Highway 151 at Highway VV in the town of Bristol. Driver Kenneth B. McNeal, 55, sustained significant, but not life-threatening injuries when he was ejected from his 1997 Lexus ES300, Dane County Sheriff's Office public information officer Elise Schaffer said in a statement.
The investigation determined that McNeal was southbound on Highway 151 when he drove onto the west shoulder, then over-corrected and lost control, coming back across the southbound lanes, entering the median and rolling several times before coming to rest in the northbound lanes, Schaffer said

McNeal was transported to a local hospital and cited for his first offense of OWI, while Highway 151 was shut down for about an hour, Schaffer said.
Earlier in the night, just after 9 p.m., deputies responded to a single-vehicle crash on Vinburn Road in the town of Bristol. Jeremy J. Nooyen, 36, left the road in his 1997 GMC Sierra and ended up in the ditch, Schaffer said.
Nooyen was located near the crash, arrested for his fifth offense of OWI and taken to the Dane County Jail, Schaffer said.
Police hope weekend arrests of 'kingpins' will slow burglaries and vehicle thefts
Police hope the arrests of two people over the weekend have "made a dent" in a vehicle theft and burglary spree that's plagued counties across southern Wisconsin.
Cleaster L. Moon, 24, and Joshua E. Pitts, 17, both of Madison, are suspects in crimes in Madison and Dane County, police said, and both were wanted on warrants after they were charged last week in Waukesha County for burglaries and vehicle thefts that happened in Pewaukee in mid-September, according to a criminal complaint filed there.
Authorities warn of 'increasingly brazen' criminals 'swarming' neighborhoods after more burglaries, thefts overnight
The area's plague of burglaries and vehicle thefts in which criminals take advantage of unlocked vehicles and residences is continuing and included two home invasions early Friday, the Dane County Sheriff's Office said.
In a blunt statement, the Sheriff's Office said it "cannot stress enough the need for homeowners to be extremely diligent about securing their homes and vehicles. This is a large and organized group of criminals that are becoming increasingly brazen. They are swarming entire neighborhoods in search of easy targets. No area/neighborhood is considered off limits.
"In several recent burglaries throughout the county, firearms have been stolen and there is a high likelihood that some of these thieves may be armed. In addition to locking homes and vehicles, we encourage citizens to keep their outdoor lights on throughout the night and do not leave valuables like wallets, purses and car keys where they are easily accessible."
1 of 2 suspects in North Side homicide arrested, police say
Madison police have arrested one of two suspects in a homicide Saturday on the city's North Side.
Leearthur L. Taylor, 33, was taken into custody without incident Tuesday morning by Violent Crime Unit detectives, SWAT members and patrol officers after he was located inside a home on Hoard Street on the East Side, police spokesman Joel DeSpain said.
A second suspect, Larence G. Thomas, 37, was still being sought.

MADISON POLICE DEPARTMENT
Madison man with 7 OWI convictions charged with 11 felonies in high-speed fatal crash on East Washington Avenue
A Madison man with seven prior drunken driving convictions was charged Thursday with 11 felonies — two of them homicide charges — for a high-speed, hit-and-run crash in August on East Washington Avenue that killed a Chicago man.
But the lawyer for Jason A. Natcone, 44, said his client wasn't driving the BMW convertible when the Aug. 8 crash happened in the 1400 block of East Washington Avenue near the Yahara River Bridge, and that another man, who was first tentatively charged by Madison police, instead may have been driving.
Natcone was charged in the complaint with first-degree reckless homicide, homicide by drunken driving, hit-and-run resulting in death, three counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, eighth-offense drunken driving, three counts of drunken driving causing injury and knowingly driving while revoked causing death.

We put in at a boat ramp under the Highway 96 bridge just outside of Fort Valley, GA. The river was low during this trip so we encountered some shallow spots and submerged trees, but our Mad River Adventure 14' canoe easily made it through it all.
This is a very scenic river with several sandbars that are suitable for camping, fishing, swimming, and the like. After paddling a little ways on this part of the river you can find yourself in the middle of nowhere. I rarely see other canoes or kayaks. Some fallen trees keep power boats from going very far down river.
You can put in at the 96 ramp and take a day trip to a takeout in Marshallville, GA. However, I usually spend the afternoons going down river and then simply turn around. Except for a few spots, the river current is gentle enough to paddle against.
The nearest town is Fort Valley. Here you will find a few restaurants and gas stations if needed. However, major hotels and restaurant chains can be found about 25 minutes from the river in Warner Robins, GA.
The boat ramp is located a few miles west of Fort Valley, GA on Highway 96. There are no nearby distinguishing landmarks other than the river itself. So, look for the sign saying "Flint River" and there will be a side road leading to the ramp.
The boat ramp has ample places to park. There is no fee required for parking. I had left my truck here several times and have never had anything stolen or vandalized.

CHANGEMAKER Q&A:
Resiliency Front-and-Center for
NY's Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance
One of the organizations frequently at the forefront of New York's resiliency thinking is the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance, a non-profit partnership of some 800 NGOs focused on metro-area waterways. Whether with a recently developed set of waterfront resilient building guidelines, or an about-to-be-released analysis of the long-term costs of resiliency, the alliance has delved deep into the complexities of protecting the city's coastline from the risks of climate change.
The alliance holds its annual Waterfront Conference tomorrow, May 7. AdaptNY took the opportunity to interview Roland Lewis, the organization's president and CEO. Read on, and watch for live Twitter coverage of the event tomorrow on @AdaptNY.
AdaptNY: We recently reported on the many open questions around New York's planning for climate adaptation. How well do you think the de Blasio administration has done on resiliency, and with its recently released OneNYC sustainability plan? How does OneNYC compare to the resiliency plans outlined under the previous Bloomberg administration?
Roland Lewis: The mayor's key policy platform of addressing equity within the overall plan was a welcome addition, and he should be lauded for combining worthy goals to promote both a just and sustainable city. Adding community benefits such as local hiring and workforce development programs, in addition to addressing trash equity issues, have long needed more attention.
We do think everyone is looking for more of the details that support the colorful and inspiring vision that they have used to re-launch PlaNYC to OneNYC. The release of the budget [expected May 7] and numbers that support these visions will be telling, and show exactly which projects advance the goals of OneNYC.
The resiliency plans seem to be a continuation of the Bloomberg administration and the recommendations from the SIRR [Special initiative on Rebuilding and Resiliency] report , which is a great ten-year plan but not completely funded at the end of the day.
We are calling for a more sustained, planning strategy that looks further into the future. We've estimated the cost of inaction. Now it is essential that we do the opposite: develop a comprehensive capital strategy to dramatically reduce the region's flood risk through 2100, including determining and prioritizing the necessary infrastructure investments, ensuring appropriate accountability to execute the strategy, and securing the necessary funds.
A problem of
this magnitude
needs "all hands
on deck."
– Roland Lewis
AdaptNY: As you point out, one of the big unknowns for New York's resiliency planning is what it will ultimately cost. You've been working on an initiative that probes into that issue. What have you found so far? What do you hope to reveal? Is the city cooperating with information?
Lewis: Our report, "Climate Change Accounting: What Is the Cost," [to be released May 7] is really trying to draw attention to the need to conduct long-term planning for resiliency and protection of the New York region. And although we have begun to seriously think about protection measures, the work to-date and planned is just scratching the surface, or a "down payment." Other countries, such as the Dutch have multi-generational plans in place to address climate change that we should look to and model for our own needs.
As for cooperation, we did receive input from various public entities, including the city, in its creation. A problem of this magnitude needs "all hands on deck", and our hope is this report will help city, state, and federal agencies in obtaining the funding and implementation resources they truly need.
To accomplish this and safeguard our future, the alliance and its partners in the New York–New Jersey Harbor Coalition call for creation of a presidential commission. The commission should include elected representatives from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut; necessary federal, state, and local government agencies; and climate change and infrastructure experts from academia and the private sector.
AdaptNY: The alliance earlier this year proposed Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines (WEDG), a kind of LEED program for waterfront building standards.What are the aims of the program? How are you hoping to test it out? And what's been the response to these new standards, especially from a city built around rapid development?
Lewis: The goal of the WEDG program is to be a catalyst for sustainable transformation of our waterfront by providing best practices and a ratings system to promote access, resiliency, and ecology. It is a tool for communities, elected officials, government agencies, practitioners, and real estate developers/property owners, anyone that is working on or cares about the waterfront.
Over the next year, we will be identifying a range of projects, including different types (residential/commercial, parks, and industrial/maritime), areas (all five NYC boroughs and New Jersey), and both private and public, to use as case studies and gather feedback on the current version.
Since releasing Version 1.0, the response has been great and the program only seems to be gaining more buzz. It's the first of its kind in the nation, and from a national planning conference in Seattle to community boards in the Bronx, there seems to be a need and market niche for WEDG.
We're actually hearing that applicants are mentioning WEDG during the permitting process and in discussion with regulatory agencies and other stakeholders, which is very encouraging to hear. Community boards are beginning to pass resolutions that waterfront projects in their districts use WEDG, which is also a good sign.
AdaptNY: For a city with more than 500 miles of coastline, there are a huge range of fairly immediate waterfront issues, ranging from transportation and security to zoning and jobs. Yet the alliance has taken up an intense focus on adapting to long-term climate change. Tell us more about the organization's thinking on the importance of resilience?
Lewis: MWA works to protect, transform, and restore our harbor and waterways, and resilience against future storms and sea level rise, although critical to the long-term viability of our coastal city, is just one piece of the puzzle.
You're right that transportation challenges are front and center for many New Yorkers these days. The plenary panel discussion at this year's waterfront conference, now in its seventh year, will build from Mayor de Blasio's proposal for a citywide ferry network and new bus routes that connect transit-poor communities to jobs and economic opportunity. We have spent years advocating for expanding ferry service to the southeast Bronx, Astoria, Red Hook, the Rockaway peninsula, and other waterfront districts, and look forward to working with the city and reaching across our alliance of grassroots organizations to help realize the mayor's vision.
So we're looking to the waterways to help people connect to jobs, but we are also looking to connect people with the waterways more broadly, for recreation and education. Harbor Camp, a partnership with United Neighborhood Houses to provide water-based summer camp experiences to children in the New York metropolitan area, provides on-water and land-based waterfront education programs, nurturing environmental stewardship in the next generation of New Yorkers.
Our Open Waters Initiative provides on-water education and recreation for the general public, last year reaching over 3,000 participants in programs at NYC Parks' Bay Ridge Community Eco Dock at the 69th St Pier. We have also helped unlock Gantry Plaza State Park Pier 4 in Long Island City, Queens for human-powered boating programs with New York State Parks.
And finally, our annual harbor-wide City of Water Day festival engages youth and families – reaching nearly 30,000 New Yorkers with the message that the waterfront is not only a threat, but it is a resource for fun, and for education.
From its genesis, our policy platform, created by convening and organizing a vast constituency, addressed sea level rise and climate change and that thread continues through our WEDG program and the new "Climate Change Accounting" report, as well as through our events such as this upcoming waterfront conference.
Because we have such a broad mission, our program and policy platforms do have a wide range and will continue to evolve and reflect the issues of our time, but climate change will always be part of those efforts. As we think about our waterfront as a utility that provides different types of benefits, the issue of "protection" has, of course, been front and center post-Sandy as we think about resiliency.

Howard Weitzman
Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump Holley LLP mourns the loss of our beloved partner, mentor, and friend Howard Weitzman, who passed away on April 07, 2021. Howard will always be remembered as one of the most influential attorneys in the nation, one of the premier trial lawyers and dealmakers in Los Angeles, and for his unwavering commitment to his family, friends, colleagues and clients. Howard was one of the founders of our firm in 2006. During the following 15 years, Howard compiled an impressive list of victories in the courtroom and the conference room, helping establish our firm as the "go-to" entertainment law boutique in the country.
Howard was the lead trial lawyer in over 300 civil and criminal jury trials, representing over 1,000 individuals and companies on matters ranging from entertainment and intellectual property to family law, tax, estates and criminal defense. He twice received the Jerry Geisler Memorial Award as the outstanding trial lawyer in Los Angeles County. Often profiled by the leading publications, Howard was named as a top fifteen lawyer in the country by The National Law Journal, repeatedly distinguished as a top music lawyer by Billboard, and perennially recognized as a "Power Lawyer" by The Hollywood Reporter, and Variety's "Legal Impact Report." In 2021, Howard received "Legal Legend" status by The Hollywood Reporter, a fitting accolade for one of the leading lawyers in the history of Los Angeles.
Howard's first job was working at his parents' grocery business. He loved baseball, playing second base for a team that won the national college championship in 1961. After attending Los Angeles City College, Howard applied to USC Gould School of Law, from which he graduated in 1965.
Howard taught trial advocacy at the University of Southern California for 12 years, and lectured at Harvard, Georgetown, UCLA, and numerous other law schools across the nation. He spoke at countless seminars and symposiums for bar associations and industry conferences. Charismatic, charming and witty, Howard pioneered the art of commenting on the steps of the courthouse, and was a highly sought-after guest and commentator on many national television shows, including "Larry King Live," "Dateline," and "Good Morning America." From 1995-1998, Howard served as Executive Vice President, Corporate Operations for Universal Studios, where he was responsible for restructuring the corporate part of the business.
The Firm released the following statement in Howard's honor:
"Our beloved friend and partner Howard Weitzman passed away yesterday. A renowned trial lawyer and dealmaker, Howard skillfully handled some of the most famous cases in Hollywood. Howard's wit, charm, and brilliant legal mind are legendary, and we will miss him dearly. We send our love and condolences to Howard's wife Margaret, his sons Armen and Jed, and to his many clients, friends, and admirers. RIP Howard, you will always be a giant."

Speaking Of Anti-Catholic Media...
It's not often I post an entire piece from the National "catholic" Reporter (if ever) but what follows below just couldn't go unanswered.
"catholic" because their version of Christianity is not what the one and only Church founded by Jesus Christ had in mind. They are Protestants in Catholic name only - wolves in sheep clothing. Twice they have been asked by their bishop to stop using the word "Catholic" due to their heterodoxy, but being Protestants, they disobey and protest.
If your pastor is a reader of this dissenting outlet then for the sake of your eternal soul it is best to find another parish. If this anti-Catholic rag is something he's fond of then it's safe to assume he's not 100% Catholic either. Since salvation is an 'all or nothing' proposition, dissention from Church teaching isn't prudent.
The lies, hypocrisy, and irony in this rant are too massive to be addressed here. Selfishly, I've just got better things to spend my time on - like working on my salvation with fear and trembling. However, I'll say this - Phyliss Zagano is an advocate of female deacons. That's really all you need to know - credibilty = zero. She also attacks blogger Vox Cantoris whom to my knowledge has never uttered a dissenting viewpoint like female deacons. Connect the dots, do the math, figure this confrontation out for yourself.
It's amusing to witness the old and dying media darlings attacking the new media champions. Sorry Phyliss, your book sales will plummet due to the Internet with its access to to blogs like Vox Cantoris, Fr Z, One Peter Five, Canon Law Blog, along with websites like Church Militant, etc.
Phyliss claims to be in the majority - she's wrong. That's not opinion but fact. Those sharing her views have already left the Church. Surveys by entities like Pew Research find heterodoxy in the minority - and best yet - dying (the Biological Solution).
Unfortunately, too much of the Church power structure (especially in Canada) is more closely aligned to dissenters like Phyliss than servants like Vox Cantoris, Michael Voris, etc, or as she labels us 'angry trads'. There is indeed a defacto schism in the Church today but the outside forces are not Cardinal Burke and Sarah but those promoting a 'new doctrine' like Cardinal Schonborn, Marx, Kasper, Mahony, Cupich, etc.
Choose your side wisely my friends. Obedience has consequences. Our greatest enemy declared his opposition to obedience and his reign in Hell is forever.
The next schism is already here
Phyllis Zagano | Jul. 13, 2016
The next schism isn't down the road somewhere. It is already here. The proponents are lined up in a serious face-off, their team shirts emblazoned "Pre-Vatican II" and "Post-Vatican II."
The "Pre" folks are the all Latin, all the time minority, solemnly preferring Bach during liturgy. The "Post" people comprise the rest of us, dutifully singing St. Louis Jesuits' songs and even (gasp!) exchanging handshakes at the kiss of peace.
The fissure is getting worse, as more and more younger people come along yearning for the good old days (before they were born) when everything was orderly, everything had its place, and the rules were followed.
Meanwhile, older church professionals who adjusted to vernacular liturgies and who incorporate mercy into their understandings of justice are retiring daily. They are being replaced, where they are replaced, by people whose theological education is complemented by self-appointed Internet theo-bloggers whose opinions grow from the conviction that anything that happened since 1965 is anathema.
That is probably why Fr. Thomas Rosica, a Canadian priest and CEO of Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation took on the so-called Catholic blogosphere several weeks ago, as he delivered the keynote address at the Brooklyn, N.Y., diocesan World Communications Day events. Rosica reported that many people say to him that "we 'Catholics' have turned the internet into a cesspool of hatred, venom and vitriol, all in the name of defending the faith!"
It is true. The internet, as Rosica said in Brooklyn, "can be an international weapon of mass destruction, crossing time zones, borders, and space."
Rosica, whose attorneys sent a "cease and desist" letter to a Canadian blogger who attacked him with a combination of character assassination and misinformation, charitably reported that "Often times the obsessed, scrupulous, self-appointed, nostalgia-hankering virtual guardians of the faith or of liturgical practices are very disturbed, broken and angry individuals, who never found a platform or pulpit in real life and so resort to the internet and become trolling pontiffs and holy executioners!"
I agree. Because they never did or at least no longer do find space in legitimate media, the self-appointed pontiffs build internet and other social media followings for their unfiltered personal attacks on anyone who strays beyond the boundaries of the church of their imaginings. In unedited postings, they freely criticize anyone -- from the pope on -- who carries and/or lives the Gospel in the "wrong" way.
I hope my own experience with these type persons is atypical. While Rosica's attorneys demanded his attacker stop assassinating the priest's character, my own university actually banned a nasty blogger from campus and any online activities some years ago, when he tried to disrupt one of my online seminars. The idea was to keep him away from me. Aside from denigrating my scholarship and defending his personal version of the faith, my attacker also brags about carrying a gun.
That is where the schism is now. It is no longer butchers and bakers having street fights over Real Presence, or any other theological issue. It is shoot-from-the-hip typists whose access to bandwidth lets them threaten your livelihood and, implicitly at least, your life. What they say is true because they say it, no matter their lack of credentials or, possibly, sanity.
The slow and steady recovery of church life during the papacy of Francis is marred by these true schismatics, who denigrate the pope and everything he says and does, and who long for the good old days. These bleating word processors have influenced, are influencing, and will influence otherwise kind people, who think verbal brickbats and worse will bring the church "around." Around to what?

In Case Anyone Still Thinks Leftwing Media Isn't Anti-Catholic and That Pope Francis Appeals To Them...
Dear Pope Francis, End the Religious Ritual that Devalues Human Life
Christine Horner Author of Awakening Leadership, Co-Founder What Would Love Do Foundation
Dear Pope Francis,
Every single day before communion, millions of Christians verbally declare one of the most destructive phrases in human history. On Sunday, it's tens of millions if not a half billion of the over one billion Catholic Christians worldwide—and not without repercussions.
In the Bible, a Centurion soldier relates, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof..." (Matthew 8:8) before recounting the inner workings of the blindness of patriarchal hierarchies and slavery that exists to this day.
Applying religious context, what's important for Christians to note is that the soldier uttered the phrase pre-salvation. An unsaved (ignorant) man sharing his feelings and a religion demanding a billion saved Christians repeat the phrase daily post-salvation are entirely two different matters.
Dialogue and constructs that perpetuate "I am not worthy" are the root of all evil. It is divisiveness personified. By believing we are not worthy, we open the door for the mistreatment of ourselves and the mistreatment of others as we seek to assuage the psychological pain the false belief imparts.
The guilt of unworthiness calls for us to judge ourselves and to judge others just as harshly. We cower within power-over structures or worse; we attempt to control others in our imagined superiority. The insanity continues as inferiority complexes pursue power and wealth as outward substitutes for what Jesus, Buddha, and many other saints and sages have said can only come from within.
Tacking on "but only say the word and my soul shall be healed" is not enough. Jesus did say the Word. Yet, Christianity along with many other religions, continue to shove a dagger of inequality into the hearts of those the religious community is supposed to be serving. Where is the healing?
Daily we see the emotional pain of inner self-hatred projected into the world through acts of violence. This behavior originates from feeling disconnected, powerless, and undervalued. A false belief in unworthiness contributes to drug and alcohol abuse and deviant behavior. Many continue to leave religion as they seek more positive and supportive environments elsewhere.
It's really a sustainability issue. Negative reinforcement is not the answer to dwindling faith. The renewal of hope and joyful living are found by reconnecting with the goodness within one another, our bountiful Earth and all of Creation, which is God. The sooner we speak of our goodness; the sooner we can truly unify as a people. Then faith isn't even required—we become the living Word.
It's time for a mass healing. I implore you to call for an end to the religious ritual of the declaration of unworthiness. As children of God, we are equally worthy—even the "ignorant." I think deep down in your heart; you know this to be true. Lead the way and others will follow.
Healed, we can finally turn in service to one another instead of exploitation as so many already have. Then maybe, just maybe, we can all work together cooperatively to create a peaceful and harmonious world.
That's what love would do.
Eternally,
Christine Horner

There is No Place in the Priesthood Today for "Wimpish-ness."
It takes bravery to follow Christ as priests
By Bishop Robert C. Morlino, Madison Catholic Herald:
Jesus is often called, "Good Shepherd Sunday." The word the Scriptures use is really not adequately translated in English as simply, "good." The word really means, "honorable, worthy, noble," or, "so excellent in every way that its goodness is itself beautiful."
The Gospel John (Jn 10:11-18) points out that the shepherd is willing to lay down his life for his sheep; he is honorable, worthy, and noble in his bravery — even laying down his own life for the sheep. And toward the end of that Gospel passage, Jesus says, "No one takes my life from me, I lay down my life, and I take it up again."
The shepherd is indeed a brave shepherd. And so, in some ways, as the years go by, I hope that we start to call this, "Brave Shepherd Sunday," for the bravery of the shepherd is one of the key virtues focused upon that help us to call him, "good."
Priest Unifies and Calls Flock to Holiness
The priest must do what is necessary to build unity in the flock and to call the flock to holiness, so that he himself might receive a "good account before the fearsome judgment seat of Christ," when the time comes. It is only in doing his best for everybody else's holiness that the priest can do the best for himself. And to do that today it takes bravery.
When we look for candidates to the priesthood and as we pray for vocations, we are looking for men who are brave in their willingness to seek holiness, to speak the truth, to lay down their lives. There is no place in the priesthood today for "wimpish-ness." There is no place for an attitude that just wants to please people, no matter what they think and no matter what they want. Today the priest has to stand up and be brave, preaching the Truth with love. He has to be willing to be unpopular. And if it comes to it, he has to be open to martyrdom.
That's what happened to St. Peter. In the first reading from this past Sunday, St. Peter is seen professing, "there is no other name given to men by which they will be saved. Jesus Christ is the only savior of the world (Acts 4:12)!" If someone says that today, they get in trouble. And so it's more politically expedient not to say things like that. But the Truth is the Truth — Jesus Christ is the only savior of the world; and apart from Jesus Christ, there can be no salvation for anyone. It's what Peter said, as witnessed in the Acts of the Apostles, and it's no wonder that he got crucified for it in the end — for to say this is unpopular. But Peter was brave (even to the point of trying to make his crucifixion worse than the Lord's by choosing to be crucified upside-down).
In John's Gospel, "what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is (1 Jn 3:2)." We will see Him as He is — the only Savior of the world. That's why it says in the Book of Revelation that in the end, "every eye will see Him — even of those who pierced Him." This too is part of the bravery of the priest.
The person of the priest is in the person of Jesus and so imbedded in Him, that with Christ and like Christ he lives a life of celibacy. Our world has no use for celibacy and is at the point where it thinks that nobody can live without free access to sex. To take on a life that is a statement to the contrary is bravery.
Our world is in such a state that even the government wants to make sure that everybody — perhaps even little girls — have access, free of charge, to artificial contraception and they call it "preventive services." Preventive medicine is medicine that protects someone from an illness (like a vaccination against the flu). What disease does artificial contraception protect a woman from? Pregnancy? Our government would have us think that pregnancy is a disease, and that instead of finding fulfillment in her motherhood, a woman must have the absolute freedom to turn against her motherhood — as if the fruits of being a mother were a disease.
Bravery Means Standing Up for Moral Truth
It's time for all of us to be brave in admitting what the moral truth is about artificial contraception. It's not a time to by shy, retiring, and politically correct. Sometimes people come up to me and say, "in my parish it's not permitted to talk about that." How sad. Where is the sign of the brave shepherd?
It is precisely the gift from God of celibacy that holds the priest so tightly to Christ. The priest is bravely laying down his life, and living completely for the next world, in which there is "no marrying or giving in marriage (Mt 22:30)," no matter what consequences might befall him in this world. The priest is called to stand up in the truth, like a brave shepherd.
I taught college for 11 years, and I still enjoy very much working with young people. And young people want to be challenged to be brave. If they are not challenged to be brave, they say, "well I can think about other things to do with my life. I'm not going to give up my whole life, and even give up marriage in order to be mediocre. I'll go for excellence someplace else." They want to reach out for that bravery, and one of the ways we promote vocations is by telling them that we expect bravery in our priests. It takes much bravery to live out joyfully the life of priestly celibacy, the best way to prove to the world that God exists.
Vocations are increasing in number every year, thank God, and thanks to your good prayers, and now is the time for you to demand bravery in the priesthood. Because nothing less than that will bring Christ's Church through the hard times to come.
Thank you for reading this. Christ is risen! Indeed He is risen!

Like Any Progressive Disease, Sin Has Stages
By Msgr. Charles Pope,
How does it happen that so many people insist on living obstinately in sin until they are ultimately lost? As with all progressive diseases, sin is a sickness that moves through stages, further debilitating and hardening the sinner in his ways.
St. Alphonsus Liguori laid out five stages through which sin (if not resisted and repented of in its initial attacks) takes an increasing toll on the human person, making repentance less likely and more difficult.
While the names of the stages are mine, I am summarizing the insights of St. Alphonsus, who details these stages in his lengthy essay, "Considerations on the Eternal Maxims" (also called "Preparation for Death") in Chapter 22, "On Evil Habits." I have added some of my own additional insights as well.
The 5 Stages of Sin
Stage 1 – Impairment – The first effect of habitual sin is that it blinds the understanding. Scripture says, Their own malice blinded them (Wisdom 2:21). Yes, every sin produces blindness, and the more that sins are multiplied, the greater the blindness they produce.
A further effect of this blindness is a foolish and dangerous walking about. Scripture provides several references for this:
The wicked walk round about (Ps. 12:8).
They stagger as with strong drink, they reel in vision, they stumble in giving judgment (Is 28:7).
Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies. He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the pit that he has made(Ps 7:14-15).
And thus habitual sin leads to impaired vision and an impaired walk. Not seeing, the wicked stumble about and fall into a pit that they themselves made.
Stage 2 – Indifference – After an evil habit is contracted, the sins that previously excited sorrow are now viewed with increasing indifference. Scripture says the following:
Fools destroy themselves because of their indifference (Prov 1:32).
But he who is careless of conduct will die (Prov 19:16).
And to the increasingly indifferent and careless, the Lord gives this solemn and salutary warning: In little more than a year you who feel secure will tremble; the grape harvest will fail, and the harvest of fruit will not come (Is 32:10).
And thus, as unrepented sin grows, not only does the sinner stagger about and fall into pits, he cares less and less about the foolishness of his ways. The sins that once caused shame, or the thought of which caused sorrow and aversion, are either unnoticed or seem normal—even attractive.
Stage 3 – Improbability – As sin deepens its hold, the willingness and even the capacity to repent decreases. Why is this? St. Augustine answers well when he says, dum servitur libidini, facta est consuetudo, et dum consuetudini non resistitur, facta est necessitas(when lust was served it became habit, and when habit was not resisted it became necessity) (Confessions, 8.5.10). Sin deepens its hold on the sinner in this way.
Stage 4 – Incorrigibility – As Scripture says, The wicked man, when he is come into the depths of sins, has contempt(Proverbs 18:3). St. John Chrysostom commented on this verse, saying that habitual sinners, being sunk in the abyss of darkness, despise corrections, sermons, censures, Hell, and God; they despise everything.
A bad habit hardens the heart and the habitual sinner remains increasingly unmoved and mired in contempt for any correction or remedy. Scripture says of them, At your rebuke O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered (Psalm 76:7). An evil habit gradually takes away all remorse and supplants it with angry indignation at any attempted correction.
And then it happens that, instead of regretting his sins, the sinner rejoices in them, even laughing and boasting of them. Scripture says, They are glad when they have done evil and rejoice in the perverseness of evil (Proverbs 2:14). A fool works mischief as if it were for sport (Proverbs 10:23).
Thus they are incorrigible. They laugh at attempted correction and celebrate their sins with pride.
Stage 5 – Indisposition – When the understanding is deprived of light and the heart is hardened, the sinner ordinarily dies obstinate in his sin. Scripture says, A hard heart shall fare ill at the end (Ecclesiastes 3:27).
Some may say that they will amend their ways before they die, but it's very difficult for a habitual sinner, even in old age, to change his life. St. Bernard said, "The man on whom the weight of a bad habit presses, rises with difficulty."
Indeed, how can a sinner, weakened and wounded by habitual sin, have the strength to rise? Even if he sees the way out, he often considers the remedies too severe, too difficult. Though conversion is not impossible, he is indisposed because it all seems like too much work. In addition, his love has likely grown cold for the good things that God offers.
And thus, even on their deathbeds, many sinners remain unmoved and unwilling to change; the darkness is deep, the heart is hardened, and sloth has solidified.
In these ways sin is like a progressive illness, a deepening disease; it moves through stages much as does cancer. Repentance at any stage is possible, but it becomes increasingly unlikely, especially by stage four, when the sinner becomes proud of his sin and joyful in his iniquity.
Beware the progressive illness of sin!
Dear Bishops, It's time to start worshipping like Catholics again.
Cardinal Sarah's Top 5 Quotes from Sacra Liturgia 2016
The opening session of Sacra Liturgia U.K. (July 5, 2016) featured an outstanding address by Robert Cardinal Sarah, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments. His Eminence touched upon all of the major topics which constitute the ongoing reform of the Roman Rite. The below quotes come to us via the official Sacra Liturgia Facebook page.
Ad Orientem beginning this Advent
"And so, dear Fathers, I ask you to implement this practice (ad orientem worship) wherever possible, with prudence and with the necessary catechesis, certainly, but also with a pastor's confidence that this is something good for the Church, something good for our people. Your own pastoral judgement will determine how and when this is possible, but perhaps beginning this on the first Sunday of Advent this year, when we attend 'the Lord who will come' and 'who will not delay' (see: Introit, Mass of Wednesday of the first week of Advent) may be a very good time to do this. Dear Fathers, we should listen again to the lament of God proclaimed by the prophet Jeremiah: "they have turned their back to me" (2:27). Let us turn again towards the Lord!"
The Greater Use of Latin
"We must get the right balance between the vernacular languages and the use of Latin in the liturgy. The Council never intended that the Roman rite be exclusively celebrated in the vernacular. But it did intend to allow its increased use, particularly for the readings. Today it should be possible, especially with modern means of printing, to facilitate comprehension by all when Latin is used, perhaps for the liturgy of the Eucharist, and of course this is particularly appropriate at international gatherings where the local vernacular is not understood by many. And naturally, when the vernacular is used, it must be a faithful translation of the original Latin, as Pope Francis recently affirmed to me."
Kneeling for Communion
"So too kneeling at the consecration (unless I am sick) is essential. In the West this is an act of bodily adoration that humbles us before our Lord and God. It is itself an act of prayer. Where kneeling and genuflection have disappeared from the liturgy, they need to be restored, in particular for our reception of our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion. Dear Fathers, where possible and with the pastoral prudence of which I spoke earlier, form your people in this beautiful act of worship and love. Let us kneel in adoration and love before the Eucharistic Lord once again!"
Silence within the Liturgy
"We must ensure that adoration is at the heart of our liturgical celebrations. Too often we do not move from celebration to adoration, but if we do not do that I worry that we may not have always participated in the liturgy fully, internally…If I am never silent, if the liturgy gives me no space for silent prayer and contemplation, how can I adore Christ, how can I connect with him in my heart and soul? Silence is very important, and not only before and after the liturgy."
Sacred Liturgical Music
"Before I conclude, please permit me to mention some other small ways which can also contribute to a more faithful implementation of Sacrosanctum Concilium. One is that we must sing the liturgy, we must sing the liturgical texts, respecting the liturgical traditions of the Church and rejoicing in the treasury of sacred music that is ours, most especially that music proper to the Roman rite, Gregorian chant. We must sing sacred liturgical music not merely religious music, or worse, profane songs."

June 25, 2021 June 25, 2021 Joanne Guarnieri Hagemeyer Minor Prophets
Minor Prophets: Haggai, Zerubbabel and the Signet Ring
The Prophet Haggai's fourth and final sermon was also delivered on December 18, 520 BC.
The word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month.
Haggai 2:20 (NRSV)
The prophet was most likely addressing all the faithful as they were leaving the temple area after their evening worship and prayers.
Though this is the shortest of Haggai's oracles, it is surprisingly dense!
Haggai can best be remembered with the bee, for bees build their home for their queen, honey was a symbol of God's blessing, and as a swarm would do, God promised to drive their enemies away.
A Prophetic Word
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying,
"I am about to shake the heavens and the earth,
"and to overthrow the throne of kingdoms;
"I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations,
"and overthrow the chariots and their riders;
"and the horses and their riders shall fall, every one by the sword of a comrade."
God to Zerubabbel, Haggai 2:20-22 (NRSV)
It was a hair-raising prophecy, without any time markers or context. Its global character marks it as eschatological, having to do with the end of all time, the final conflict that will usher in the new heavens and the new earth. Because of this, God's final word to Zerubbabel is also to be understood as far future (to him, but now far in the past to us).
A Word To Zerubbabel
"On that day,"
(says the Lord of hosts,)
"I will take you, O Zerubbabel my servant, son of Shealtiel,
(says the Lord,)
"and make you like a signet ring; –for I have chosen you-,"
(says the Lord of hosts.)
God to Zerubabbel, Haggai 2:23 (NRSV)
This is the very last line of Haggai's slim volume of two chapters. As the last line, it is heavy with significance.
But, what does it mean?
Well, we have to get a handle on who Zerubbabel was, first, before we can take in the importance of God's saying.
Remember when I initially described Zerubbabel? He was known as the son of Shealtiel, born in Babylon in the royal line of David through David's son Nathan, whose name would one day appear in the genealogy of Jesus. For these reasons, some scholars have thought Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah (to whom Cyrus had entrusted the sacred temple treasure) might be one and the same person with Zerubbabel.
However, in both Ezra's chronicle, and the prophets' mention, Zerubbabel is consistently referred to as governor rather than prince or king.
This does not—necessarily—mean Zerubbabel was not a prince, or in the line of David. It also does not mean Zerubbabel and Shesbazzar were the same people. As a matter of fact, I highly doubt that idea, as it indicates:
A narrow view of David's dynasty. David had many sons and daughters who in turn bore many further sons and daughters. Shesbazzar was one of several young Davidic princes who, it seems had been born in Babylon, or at least adopted Chaldean names.
A dim view of Persia's understanding of Hebrew politics. As you will see below, King Coniah and all his line had become despised by the people, and by God. King Cyrus would have known that and saved honor for an arm of David's dynasty whom the people would respect.
And a rather myopic view of God's pronouncement in Jeremiah 22. It was not just against King Coniah whom God leveled God's judgement. It went way, way farther than that.
Here is what I mean.
Family Baggage
As I live, says the Lord, even if King Coniah son of Jehoiakim of Judah were the signet ring on my right hand, even from there I would tear you off and give you into the hands of those who seek your life, into the hands of those of whom you are afraid, even into the hands of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon and into the hands of the Chaldeans.
I will hurl you and the mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born, and there you shall die. But they shall not return to the land to which they long to return.
Is this man Coniah a despised broken pot,
a vessel no one wants?
Why are he and his offspring hurled out
and cast away in a land that they do not know?
O land, land, land,
hear the word of the Lord!
Thus says the Lord:
Record this man as childless,
a man who shall not succeed in his days;
for none of his offspring shall succeed
in sitting on the throne of David,
and ruling again in Judah.
God to King Coniah, Jeremiah 22:24-30
And this infamous King Coniah (also Jeconiah) was none other than Zerubbabel's grandfather!
Look through everything God said to this man (the first thing is the most significant, as it creates a bridge from Jeremiah's oracle to Haggai's oracle).
Coniah was as a signet ring on God's hand—the representation of God's name and authority, the seal of God's word and law, the symbol of God's character and rule.
God tore Coniah off of God's hand—The signet ring had become corrupted, compromised, it could no longer represent God, and its seal could no longer be trusted.
God gave Coniah to Babylon—the Chaldeans, who were the enemy of God's people and of God, could now have this worthless-to-God-and-to-Judah king
Coniah and his mother would die in exile—many of the people who had been taken captive were released a generation later to return to Jerusalem, to rebuild the walls and temple. But not Coniah.
God disinherited Coniah's children—it seems clear Coniah did have sons and daughters, who accompanied him into exile, and likely at least some of them returned to Judah, for example Zerubbabel the governor, son of Sheltiel. BUT! God would never again permit any of them to sit on the throne of David, nor rule over Judah.
This is the heavy family legacy laid upon the shoulders of Coniah's heirs, and borne out in Judah's post-exilic history.
And then we come to Matthew's gospel.
. . . And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Salathiel, and Salathiel the father of Zerubbabel . . .
. . . and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.
Genealogy of Jesus, Matthew 1:12, 16 (NRSV)
God would redeem the family baggage Zerubbabel had gotten saddled with. Though King Coniah and his descendants would never again have the royal inheritance they had been born into, yet Zerubbabel would be given the highest honor, for he had been faithful to God. He would one day be included in the line of Jesus Messiah, the True Signet Ring, the Chosen of God. (Luke's gospel also mentions this remarkable fulfillment of prophecy.
Celebration of the Temple's Completion
No more oracles or sermons are recorded from Haggai, though we can assume he continued to work side-by-side with the leaders and the people until the last hewn stone and sacred vessel had been completed and put into place.
Then, according to the word sent by King Darius, Tattenai, the governor of the province Beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates did with all diligence what King Darius had ordered.
So the elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of the prophet Haggai and Zechariah son of Iddo.
Five years after Haggai had begun to prophesy, they finished their building by command of the God of Israel and by decree of Cyrus, Darius, and King Artaxerxes of Persia; and this house was finished on the third day of the month of Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.
The people of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the returned exiles, celebrated the dedication of this house of God with joy.
Ezra 6:13-16 (NRSV)
The people of God would now begin a new chapter of life in the Promised Land.

Yes, he lost.
And whatever Bose was, that lil' fcuk Stalin didn't have any right to execute him, if that's true. Not without no reason, why I despise the Russians. Those Shylock, they always make sure they took more than a pound of flesh.
Here's a guy who sided with Hitler and Hirohito and you're talking about rights? Monsters don't understand anything about rights. They only understand power. If anything, Bose chosed the smallest of the three monsters and you are surprised when the biggest monster alledgedly squashed him?

Yeah, save your kudos for the Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars and Finns

Bose was willing to side with anyone willing to give him arms and money against the British. He did approach the Soviets first but they turned him down, after which he tried the Nazis.

He was dead by then. He didn't have to live up to the image.
None of them did. The Japanese only gave him captured stock.

I just posted the article. Why beat me? The least we're related to is dry fish and Ilish.
Not you, I am rhetorically beating up that idiot Swamy.
Also, I hate Shukti (dry fish) and am indifferent about ilish (but not ilish eggs, yumm)

You probably mean the Indian soldiers serving in WWII. I am not sure the Indian public thought of him the same.
Sir, I am not discounting anything. All I have said is those were times during a war, even if personally I ain't his fan.
I had a chance to take a swipe at the Russians, I used Bose and the op-ed for that. :) Not a fan of either Bose or Russia.
What you know and things I have learnt here w.r.t Bose would remain with us, History in India teaches Bose differently. I once tried to argue Bose with a BJP fanboi on FB, I was surrounded and stoned.

I think most of the recruits to join the British India Army would have been motivated economically rather than ideologically. Between the West Bengal famine, and the state of money supply/inflation in India at the start of the war to the end of the war, I find it hard to believe that the majority signed up for any reason but being a matter of economic life and death.
http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bi...hapter%203.pdf
3.6.2 Wartime inflation (1939-1945):
During the war period India suffered a greater magnitude of
inflation in comparison with other non-devastated countries. The
severity of inflation varied across the war hit countries, but it was the
people living near the subsistence, who suffered a lot every where.
During the early years of war, price increases were fairly moderate, but
a sharp rise took place in 1942 and 1943. From the end of 1943 to the
end of 1945, prices were relatively stable at a very high level, but in
1946 there was again a marked increase14 as can be seen from the table
No. 3.5.
The general index of wholesale prices, which was 100 on August
25, 1939, the eve of World War II, went up to 254 at the end of March
1946, representing a rise of 154% during the war period. It is also true
that the official index underestimated the extent of the price rise as
limited success was achieved in administering the price controls.
Consequently, the prices used for the compilation of the index did not
fully reflect the true level of prices which had to be paid.15
This period contained an inflationary price spiral of serious
proportions, spanning over three consecutive years of 1941-42, 1942-
43 and 1943-44. Prices rose at an alarming rate during these three years
with respective inflation rates of 19.3%, 24.8 and 38.3%. At no other
time in the known history of India, prices rose at such an alarming
rates for three consecutive years.
To further build on this, out of the 50,000 Indian POWs captured throughout the war, a large portion (estimates put it at around 30,000) did join Bose' INA. Quite a significant ratio to indicate that there was no major ideological component to enlisting under the British India army. I do acknowledge that these defections would have occurred under duress.
However, this ratio is contrasted with say, the amount of Vlasovites or "HiWis" that served under the Germans, (this blog estimates the number from anywhere between 200,000 to 1,000,000) out of a total of 5.7 million Soviet prisoners of war. It can be said that German treatment of Soviet POWs mirrored that of Japanese POW camps.
Nevertheless, in reading about this topic I chanced upon a fantastic article by the Australian War Museum
Journal of the Australian War Memorial | Australian War Memorial
Indian troops captured in Singapore were immediately separated from their European officers and exposed to INA propaganda. Those who refused to join the INA – perhaps a quarter of the total – were held in Malaya and Singapore and treated as harshly as any other prisoners of the Japanese. Lacking administrative, medical or engineer officers accustomed to taking responsibility for large numbers of troops, perhaps they suffered more severely. The picture is unclear, such little work having been done on the subject. Early in May 1943, the Japanese in Singapore formed "Indian Working Parties" from Indian soldiers who had resisted Japanese appeals to join the INA. The largest group of Indian prisoners assembled in South-East Asia after Singapore appears to have been the 5,000 sent to Rabaul in New Britain. Their experience awaits a more detailed investigation. The second largest group of Indian prisoners of war was sent to Wewak, in north-western Australian New Guinea, the destination of about 3,000 men.10
{9} Six companies of Indians went to Wewak in New Guinea and nine to Rabaul. Their experience suggests both the ordeal of their captivity and its legal and ethical ambiguities. According to Jemadar Chint Singh, a key witness in the story of Indians in New Guinea, the Indians were at first accommodated in a swamp about eight kilometres from Wewak Point, between the sea and a creek.11 The campsite was selected by Colonel Takano, the commander of the six Wewak working parties. Prisoners were compelled to build their own "totally inadequate" huts, hastily erecting them using grass offering little protection from heavy rain. Chint Singh recalled how the camp flooded and "we usually slept in water". Because no effective sanitary facilities could be constructed in the waterlogged camp the sick rate increased. The few Indian medical officers in the working parties had no medical equipment and were obliged to labour at the harbour unloading ships as part of work details. Colonel Takano repeatedly called for the prisoners to work harder, beating men whom he thought were working too slowly. On one occasion recalled by Chint Singh, he beat three men with a thick wooden stick, shouting "Why are you working so slowly?", though the men, who were suffering from beri beri, could not understand him. Despite this ill-treatment the Wewak prisoners are unique among prisoners of the Japanese because they mounted at least three protests against the conditions of their captivity: a petition, a hunger strike, and what Japanese witnesses described as an "uprising"
Chint Singh's account is corroborated by other Indian prisoners in other parties. Naik Aziz Ahmed of the 1st Anti-Aircraft Regiment of the Hong Kong and Singapore Royal Artillery recalled that throughout the two-month voyage from Singapore to Rabaul prisoners were "subjected to anti-British propaganda in an effort to suborn them".18 The prisoners refused to co-operate, even refusing to accept Japanese puttees in place of their own ragged clothes lest they be regarded as "favourable to Japanese military effort".19 The coercion continued after their arrival in New Britain of another party. The entire party was paraded and ordered to opt for the pro-Japanese force. "The whole parade refused", Havildar Rozi Khan recalled. Japanese soldiers then began beating Captain Sadiq Ali of the Madras Regiment.20 Captain Ali called out to his men "it is better to die than serve the Japs!" In response, Japanese soldiers seized Lance Naik Rehmat Ali (apparently at random), placed him by a trench and laid the blade of a sword on his bare neck as if to behead him. Then a gun was pointed at his chest and the trigger was pulled – the gun was unloaded. None of the detachment agreed to serve the Japanese but insisted on remaining prisoners of war.21 Soon after arriving in New Britain in 1943 another party was ordered to learn Japanese drill. When its members refused to comply men were beaten unconscious and left lying in the sun. Men who tried to help them were beaten.22 According to many other Indian participants all Indians in New Guinea refused Japanese appeals. Their obduracy meant that they "would be treated as traitors and the treatment you are receiving at present will continue".23 Of those who reached New Guinea, virtually all the Wewak detachments resisted Japanese appeals, while some at least of the New Britain became, in contemporary terminology, "white" INA members, joining under duress.
AWM 098229
Freed Indian prisoners at Karavia Nay, New Britain, act out an account of their daily treatment by the Japanese in October 1945.
{18} There is, in addition, a chronological argument against the enlistment of Indian prisoners in New Guinea being active INA members. As a result of friction between Mohan Singh and the Japanese command in Malaya, the INA was dissolved in December 1942. Most of its members were returned to prison camps. After the arrival of Subhas Chandra Bose in Singapore in July 1943 the force was revived, and it was members of this "second" INA that fought in Burma. The point is, though, that when the detachments sailed from Singapore to New Guinea in May 1943, the INA was in abeyance.24
{19} Though the conflicting Japanese evidence will always leave the matter open to question, it would appear that the Indians transported to the South-West Pacific were mainly those who had refused to collaborate with the Japanese or to join the INA. When, in 1945, No.4 Contact Team of the Indian Army Mission of the RAPWI (Repatriation of Allied Prisoners of War and Internees) organisation processed liberated Indians, its tasks included the identification and isolation of INA members. It appears that no Indian Army personnel from New Guinea were held for investigation or trial as members of the INA.25 The term "JIF" (Japanese Indian Forces) so common in the South East Asia Command, where the Fourteenth Army faced an INA division, is nowhere seen in the Australian records. The only evidence of collaboration comes from Japanese sources, all (it seems) oral rather than documentary. Certainly, the testimony of liberated prisoners from various places interrogated by different officers at different times disclosed no hint that the New Guinea Indians had agreed to become "sub-soldiers" of the Japanese. John Crasta's memoir makes clear that when Indian prisoners at Sourabaya were asked to exchange their ragged uniforms for Dutch colonial uniforms they accepted only tunics, "since they suspected that the Japanese were trying to enlist us
{22} John Crasta's memoir suggests that these instructions were not necessarily honoured. While he describes how "Australian soldiers would mingle freely and dine with us, disregarding all codes of etiquette", he also mentions that British RAPWI officers at Rabaul – probably suspecting the presence of INA sympathisers among the liberated prisoners – took a less accommodating approach. Despite the evident hardships the prisoners had endured, the British insisted on the men building their own huts (as they had under the Japanese), denied them the initial payment, and ensured that they were "deprived of most of the concessions and amenities offered by the Australian staff".29
The irony being that the Indians that did not join the INA and remain loyal to the British India Army were subject to institutionalized racism.
The rest of the article goes to discuss in depth the exemplary character and conduct of Indian POWs and their positive interaction with Australian troops.
On the subject of Bose, he strikes me as an impatient nationalist who had to take any help he could get in gaining independence for his country. Contrary to what is implied, I don't think that he ever was in any doubts over the commitment of Japanese to Indian independence (their actions in the occupation of the Andamans speak for themselves, when the Japanese Navy did not transfer authority to INA members or the Azad Hind provisional Government, as do their various atrocities committed to "fellow Asians" that repudiated the pan-Asian propaganda being pumped out). Obviously Japan and Germany had a similar idea, with all three movements seeking to use each other to undermine British influence in the region, with different "end-goals"
Distasteful comment which completely ignores the context of his actions. Bose was struggling against centuries of illegal occupation and colonialism, actions of which were far more direct and offensive to the Indian people over generations than two distants war in Europe - which Indians nevertheless fought in. Britain would prove itself during the course of the 2nd world war in its actions towards the Indian people ( given Churchills stated position on the West Bengal famine, and his attempts to limit food relief to reach the region) as being no different than certain European powers in their attitude towards certain Europeans and Slavic peoples.
There's also the mistake of judging actions committed in the past by contemporary standards. An anti-colonial struggle is a legitimate cause, and for the people affected, do you expect them to place the priorities or sensibilities of Western peoples over that of Indians? Bose placed Indians before Europeans, what a terrible human being! That he received (very limited) assistance and aid for Nazi Germany does not diminish or tarnish the cause he struggled for nor make him a person whos imprisonment in a theoretical gulag should be viewed with glee.
Am I to expect the same degree of condemnation towards Chiang Kai Shek for being on the receiving end of modernization efforts from Nazi Germany? The attempt to somehow marginalize an independence struggle and liberation movement just because it was supported by Nazis or Imperial Japan is taking the moral narrative of WW2 to hysterical conclusions, as if somehow because those two nations supported the Indian independence movement, said movement and Bose are instantly on the same level as those nations. If anything, it highlights the hypocritical moral narrative applied over WW2 that somehow magically exonerates members of the Western allies from their continued (at the time) colonial crimes

How about pure blind hatre of the Japanese? There is no question that Indians were mercenaries for the European War but that does not explain the ferorcity in which they fought the Japanese in Burma. Mercy was neither given nor asked between the IJA and the BIA.
Accounts of Japanese attrocities certainly reached back to India, detailing how ethnic Indians were treated in Burma and elsewhere; even under "Indian Independence League" rule.
I will have to admit to having almost zero knowledge of the performance of Indian troops in the Burmese campaigns under Gen.Slim, so I really don't know what could have provided the motivation, not to demean the actions of those soldiers, but could the Japanese treatment of POWs be in part responsible for this ferocity?
Right, but most the victims of Japanese war crimes of ethnic Indian origin were soldiers. The only area I believe was actually occupied by Japanese soldiers where ethnic Indian civilians existed was the Andaman & Nicobar islands, whos residents were the victims of Japanese war crimes. I believe some 2000 in total perished.
Side by side at the time, for the domestic prospective Indian recruit, the "Quit India" movement began in 1942 - where the majority of organic, indigenous Indian political activity seemed to stoking anti-British sentiment. Post 1943,the W.Bengal famine would have also made its presence felt. Both these things in my opinion would have probably made serving in the British India Army not particularly "noble" in the eyes of the Indian public at the time, as the only organization I can gather that openly supported the Raj in wartime was the All-India Muslim League.

I'll get to the rest later, but this isn't strictly correct. Tens of thousands of Tamil labourers from Malaysia died working on the Thai-Burma Railway. That is where my uncle spent some of the war. Most had been forced to work there in unimaginable conditions. Sadly their story has never really been told.

No, they were not. Emperor Hirohito was free, their main leader.
Potsdam Conference:
that "[t]he Japanese military forces, after being completely disarmed, shall be permitted to return to their homes with the opportunity to lead peaceful and productive lives."
Clearly stated that they were able to return to their homes. And no clause about the emperor in the conference.
I will have to admit to having almost zero knowledge of the performance of Indian troops in the Burmese campaigns under Gen.Slim,

Whatever the motivation, money could not explain the butchery the IJA sufferred, especially when German and Italian armies did not suffer the same fates.
BF answered you but a more personal ancedote.
