Man Opens Nazi Cafe, Baffled that It Pisses People Off
The Holocaust, it’s delicious!
An Indonesian business man, Henry Mulyana, seems to think
that it is okay to have opened a Nazi café, full of memorabilia. Two years ago,
he opened his restaurant SoldatenKaffee (or “Soldier’s Café”) but since the
English-speaking media has found out about this eatery, Mulyana has been
getting death threats that have ultimately moved him to temporarily close it.
The plan is to open the café back up, but to also include Allied items.
Mulyana’s lawyer has said: “So there won't only be photos of Hitler, but
Winston Churchill and Indonesian heroes too. There will be Japanese soldiers,
not only German soldiers, and no swastikas.”
Mulyana claims that the theme of the establishment is of
“World War II pop culture.” He further went on to explain at a press conference
that “It's war-themed art that is neither an ideology, extremism, nor racism.”
Although the website states: “Hitler & the Nazis in Pop Culture... Every
Day! This WEB is not pro NAZI. It is matter of fact, with the intention of
exploring Hitler & the NAZIS as pop culture Kaffee. The authors of the WEB
are not NAZIS or neo-NAZIS, We are Indonesian with no political affiliations.
The WEB & Kaffee are concept of World War 2 German and Collection. We are
Special Birthday Cake maker n Wedding Cake, We made by order who want a
different thing from the other. Please dont be shy :) to contact US”
The café and the Indonesian internet users seem to not
understand the meaning of the whole impact of World War II. As Zen Rachmat
Sugito explained to Boreno Bulletin: “Indonesians didn’t have a traumatic
experience with Nazism. Nazism is a European taboo. There’s no Nazi-taboo in Indonesia , but
it doesn’t mean we deny that the Holocaust happened.”
This seems not to just be secluded to Indonesia but
over time, Nazi memorabilia and images have been seen in several Asian
countries. Many of these people do not understand what those symbols mean
historically. Mulyana went on to say: “I've received countless calls and death
threats from locals and foreigners. I feel traumatized and shocked.”
He also says that he never denied the Holocaust or denied
proof about the war being committed.
It seems a professor at University of Texas
Scientists that conducted this experiments, with permission
from the yacht owner because you need that, say “their ability to broadcast
counterfeit GPS signals that triggered no alarms within the ship’s navigation
system highlights a serious flaw in transportation networks on land and sea.
Some 90 percent of the world’s freight moves by sea.”
This will also most likely work on other semi-autonomous like
aircraft, which is a scary though. The false GPS signals are not hard to deal
with, as a published 2011 technical paper have proven. With how many people
carry around devices such as smartphones with their GPS enabled, it might cause
for problems at some point.
UC Davis Pepper-Spraying Cop Wants
Worker’s Comp Because He’s That Guy
Because viral people always
deserve money from their circumstances, John Pike, the Occupy UC Davis cop who
pepper-sprayed protesters three years ago, wants money. Davis Enterprise is
saying that Pike is appealing for worker’s compensation as the poor man claims
he has psychiatric injury because of the incident. The case will go forward to
a trial or further hearing, if no settlement is reached.
A Davis attorney, Bernie Goldsmith, who
supported the Occupy movement has said a protest will most likely happen
outside of the hearings. He also wrote in an email: “In an ideal democracy,
violent suppressors of political speech are jailed and not rewarded. This sends
a message that acts of violent political repression can be both insulated from
real criminal prosecution and rewarded,”
A panel was held after the
incident at Occupy Davis, which deemed the use of force was “reasonable,” but
that Pike’s “serious errors of judgment and deficiencies of leadership” was
enough for demotion or a suspension. He was given paid leave for eight months,
down from his annual salary of a large $121,680, but he later left his duty on
the police force all together.
Down below are some picture I
found interesting this week.
