Over the last week, I've had a couple of visitors report broken links on the Colchester Collection.
The first was for two broken links on the Hitler's Second Book page: colchestercollection.com/title…
I had fixed both quite a while ago, but for some reason the fixed page was never uploaded to the server.
The second was for both the PDF and HTML versions of The Aryan Household: colchestercollection.com/title…
I was able to find a suitable replacement for the PDF version, but couldn't find one for the HTML, so I deleted it.
I regularly check the site for broken links with a link checker, but they don't find every kind of breakage, so if you find one, please let me know.

"We have to say the truth, returning the hostages is not the most important thing."
Israeli Finance Minster Bezalel Smotrich said in an interview with Galey Israel radio on Monday that the release of captives in Gaza was "not the most important thing" for the goverment, provoking an angry backlash from members of the Israeli public, including families of captives in Gaza, who have hit back at the minister's comments.
Smotrich also said that the "Gaza problem" must be eliminated, citing a "tremendous opportunity". Smotrich believes that there are no longer any obstacles to fulfilling a hardline Israeli policy on Gaza after the end of former US President Joe Biden's tenure at the White House and the political demise of rivals, like former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and former Israeli army chief of staff Herzi Halevi.

Terrifying that a malfunctioning automated system can in fact shut off fuel switches, as happened on an All Nippon Airways Boeing 787 flight in 2019:
"Investigators later found that the aircraft’s software had mistakenly interpreted the plane as being on the ground, triggering the thrust control malfunction accommodation system, which automatically moved the fuel switch from “run” to “cutoff” without any action from the pilots."

The UK is now the second largest government holder of Bitcoin, but the crown will slip.
The UK currently holds 61,250 BTC, worth approximately $7.27 billion at today’s price, according to Arkham Intelligence. These coins were seized by UK authorities in connection with an investment fraud targeting Chinese nationals.
The assets remain frozen, and legal efforts are ongoing to determine their rightful ownership and whether they will be returned to victims or confiscated under UK law. Until that process concludes, the UK cannot legally forfeit or sell the coins.
Once the ruling is made, the coins are likely to be returned or liquidated.
In the meantime, those coins are being custodied by Komainu. With the national crypto custody tender now live, that arrangement could change by the end of the year.
The risks of state custody are real. Just last week, a UK National Crime Agency officer was jailed for stealing seized bitcoin from a dark web suspect. Bitcoin shines a light on criminals outside the system and those hiding within it.
The UK may be the second largest government holder of Bitcoin… for now. But with legal rulings pending and custody contracts in flux, the question is how much longer.
It is important to remember that Elon Musk was a Hillary Clinton supporter. If Musk had gotten his way, we would just be finishing 8 years of Hillary as President.
I am not sure America would have survived that.
Epstein was a founding member of the Clinton Global Initiative, and Maxwell was literally Bill Clinton's date to Chelsea's wedding. They would both still be preying on children, if Elon Musk had gotten his way and Hillary had beaten Trump.
Trump is the hero of the Epstein case.

Oh I have hope… but I don’t place it in politics.
This was not good.
It’s an in-our-face message that the corruption remains, Trump and crew have no interest in truly eliminating it and they don’t give a crap what we wanted, or what they promised to do.
This is a clear message to whatever intel agency, whatever enablers and whatever participants, that they are safe, and that the status quo will continue, and they don’t care what we think about it.

Au bout de 25 ans, la justice française s’est enfin préoccupée de sauver l’honneur. Elle vient de prononcer la mise en liberté de Georges Ibrahim Abdallah condamné par une cour d’assises spéciale il y a 40 ans pour complicité d’assassinat. Abdallah militant communiste libanais avait été accusé de complicité dans l’assassinat sur le territoire français de deux diplomates américains et israéliens dont il a été par la suite reconnu qu’ils appartenaient aux services spéciaux de leurs pays respectifs. Assassinats perpétrés alors qu’Israël était en guerre contre le Liban qu’il avait envahi, en provoquant la mort de 18 000 combattants et civils arabes, et couvrant le massacre de Sabra et Chatila.
Arrêté sur le territoire français, et malgré ses dénégations, il sera donc condamné en 1984 à la réclusion criminelle à perpétuité par une cour d’assises spéciale chargée de juger les affaires de terrorisme. Et ce après une procédure pour le moins biscornue. Il y eut s’abord la violation de la règle « non bis in idem » avec Abdallah jugé deux fois pour les mêmes faits, ensuite l’aveu postérieur de son avocat reconnaissant qu’il l’avait trahi et travaillé avec les services français, ensuite toujours la défense absurde et provocatrice de celui qui avait succédé à ce premier avocat, et enfin des réquisitions lunaires de l’avocat général. Malgré ces énormités, il ne fut pas possible d’obtenir une révision de la procédure. Georges Ibrahim Abdallah n’était pas un terroriste, c’était un patriote Libanais luttant pour défendre son pays contre une invasion israélienne soutenue par les États-Unis. Une propagande mensongère va bien sûr le présenter comme un terroriste palestinien pro palestinien, qualificatif immédiatement utilisé pour ceux qui combattent Israël.
Il est libérable depuis 1999. Sa libération a été prononcée à plusieurs reprises par le tribunal d’application des peines. Libération systématiquement annulée par les juridictions supérieures sur appel tout aussi systématique. Le sommet étant atteint quand sa libération fut prononcé avec la condition de la prise par le ministre de l’intérieur d’un arrêté d’expulsion. Manuel Valls, jamais en retard d’une vilenie, refusa toujours de prendre cet arrêté. Maintenant ainsi Abdallah en prison dans une prison où il était enfermé depuis près de 40 ans, étant alors le plus ancien détenu des pays de l’UE. Alors que le maintien en détention ne pourrait s’appuyer sur aucune considération judiciaire, le parquet toujours soucieux de complaire, a naturellement fait immédiatement appel.
La guerre secrète, ça existe. Et lorsqu’on est en guerre on la pratique. Israël qui est en guerre depuis sa création le fait, mais habituellement discrètement. Car quand ses services interviennent sur le territoire d’État étranger, en droit cela s’appelle du terrorisme. On renvoie pour cela au film de Spielberg « Munich ». Et à l’exécution de Mahmoud Hamchari sur le territoire français. Tout le monde sait qui a perpétré cet attentat, sauf manifestement les autorités françaises qui n’ont jamais bougé.
Le problème c’est que le soutien américain et la passivité du reste de l’Occident amène les dirigeants israéliens actuellement au pouvoir à se croire tout permis et, sûrs de leur impunité, ils revendiquent à l’avance les assassinats que le Mossad ou le Shin Bet commettraient à l’étranger.
Le chef du Shin Bet Ronen Bar, a déclaré « qu’Israël travaillera à l’assassinat des dirigeants du Hamas. Le Conseil ministériel, le cabinet israélien nous a fixé un objectif, qui est en termes simples, l’élimination du Hamas, et nous sommes déterminés à le faire. Partout, à Gaza, dans la Cisjordanie, au Liban, en Turquie, au Qatar ». Comme d’habitude Netanyahou ne s’est pas gêné lorsqu’il a annoncé son intention le 22 novembre 2023 en déclarant : « J’ai donné l’ordre au Mossad d’agir contre les dirigeants du Hamas où qu’ils se trouvent ».
Comprenons-nous bien, vouloir frapper son ennemi à la tête a une autre légitimité morale que le massacre des civils de Gaza. Et à la guerre, ça marche comme ça. Mais en la circonstance ce qui est effarant c’est le sentiment d’impunité qui anime le pouvoir israélien revendiquant par avance le droit d’aller pratiquer le terrorisme sur le territoire d’autres États ! Concernant la France, si jamais cela arrivait chez nous, on peut malheureusement imaginer ce que serait la réponse de Macron et des dirigeants français.

terrible! These collars - are they like couplings at pipe joints? Seems like if the pipes are ok they need to locate all the collars and fix them. Fernco makes flexible couplings they should investigate using these. Now there are flexible video scopes where they can drill a small hole in a wall and see where couplings are located.

Standard Couplings Fernco manufacturers the most complete line of flexible couplings in the industry, from sizes of 3/4" to 27" (19mm to 381mm).www.fernco.com
@HaleakalacraterYeah! I didn't know the English terms, I searched for the English equivalency and it said collars (in French, the word is collets = collars, I had specified for plumbing but...). I think what they are planning to do is fix them as soon as they break but hell that means we'll all be under stress for years to come... There are 109 units + 19 for the co-op. I'm not sure they want to tear down all the walls to change them all...
Plus the damn smoke detectors and general fire alarm go crazy because of the dust when they take down a wall (the gypsum boards and plaster). This is a concrete building (slabs for the floors and ceilings (well, d'uh - another man's ceiling is another man's floor LOL) but part of the walls are soundproofed and built of gypsum board...
interesting, the term collet is used in machining metal, except we pronounce it with a hard “t” it should be pronounced as French, “collay”. We’re doing it all wrong!😭

The problem could be expansion and contraction of the multi-story vertical piping, causing cracking at some joints. This Fernco coupling allows flexibility for pipe movement.
@HaleakalacraterAnd since it's a government project, not sure how the building was supervised, if there wasn't corruption also. Because let's face it the construction industry is one of the most corrupted, we call it one of the mafia strongholds, like construction of roads and all that. I had watched way back when a documentary on road construction in Sweden which has (or had) pretty much the same temps and weather we do. The opening questions were: how much does road construction in Sweden cost? And why do their roads last 10 times ours? What is the difference between what we do and what they do?
Road construction companies here cut in half all the materials. Like, say in Sweden they lay down 8 inches of crushed stone as an underlayer, over here, they put 3 or 4 inches. And they charge the government twice or three times what companies in Sweden do. Roads are all owned by government, either federal, provincial or municipal.
we have amazing asphalt machines they tear up the road and conveyor it into empty trucks and the machine is laying new asphalt behind, I think they can do 300 feet per minute!
