And they weren’t holy, either. Quoting Matzav: “A second detainee was the husband of a woman who has told police she was forced by sect members to lure one of the victims to a specific location.”

Let’s hope they implicate the head of the cult, as well.

• Sometimes the whole world is mistaken (though seemingly using centuries of experience).
• Sometimes that mistake is costing innocent lives.

An excerpt:

Unlike a great many other kinds of exotic flesh sampled by humans, raw breast of shearwater ended up not to taste like chicken — a revelation that likely disappointed Bombard.

I only once met the deceased. He told me about his site and fascinating personal history and recommended I reproduce his articles (I can’t remember if it was that explicit).

Since then, I have used some of his material for Hyehudi (though I didn’t get permission to use him as an “Author”). He was on the far-left, hated all my friends, and so on. But he hated the State, too, and he sought the truth.

Much more to say…
