De mortuis nihil nisi bonum phrase coined by Chilon of Sparta (ca. 600 BC).
Adam Linsay Gordon wrote this mortuary phrase in his poem “Sunlight on the Sea” (The Philosophy of a Feast) .
We eat and drink, we come and go,
(The sunlight dies upon the open sea.)
I speak in riddles. Is it so?
My riddles need not mar your glee;
For I will neither bid you share
My thoughts, nor will I bid you shun,
Though I should see in yonder chair
Th’ Egyptian’s muffled skeleton.
One toast with me, your glasses fill,
Aye, fill them level with the brim,
De mortuis, nisi bonum, nil!
The lights are growing dim.
Louise Elisabeth Gluck also wrote the mortuary phrase in her poem The Open Grave.
My mother made my need,
my father my conscience.
De mortuis nil nisi bonum.
Therefore it will cost me
bitterly to lie,
to prostrate myself
at the edge of a grave.
I say to the earth
“be kind to my mother,
now and later.
Save, with your coldness,
the beauty we all envied.”
I became an old woman.
I welcomed the dark
I used so to fear.
De mortuis nil nisi bonum.
And Sigmund Freud wrote in Thoughts for the Times on War and Death in the second part of the essay, Our Attitude Towards Death.
We assume a special attitude towards the dead, something almost like admiration for one who has accomplished a very difficult feat.
We suspend criticism of him, overlooking whatever wrongs he may have done, and issue the command, De mortuis nil nisi bene("Of the dead, nothing [spoken] unless well (truthfully)") : we act as if we were justified in singing his praises at the funeral oration, and inscribe only what is to his advantage on the tombstone.
This consideration for the dead, which he really no longer needs, is more important to us than the truth, and, to most of us, certainly, it is more important than consideration for the living.

Still No Yehoshua
Ariel Sharon suffered a stroke in 2006 and Kaduri died not long after that.
But before the venerated Jewish spiritual leader Kaduri died, he wrote a cryptic note in which he named the Messiah whom he claimed to have been visited and he prophesy that this Messiah would come shortly after Sharon’s death.
And his cryptic note was to be opened a year after his death, when the sealed note was opened a year later, it was revealed the Messiah’s name as Yehoshua or Jesus.
Ariel Sharon died in January 11, 2014, he was in comatosed state for 10 years since 2006.
Now as of this written article, in the year of 2016 two years since Sharon died and even after the occurance of the lunar tetrad starting with three eclipses on April 15 and October 8, 2014 and on April 4 2015. The lunar tetrad ends with the appearing of a super full moon on September 28, 2015 a rare total lunar exlipse but still no Yehoshua.

Life After Life
What if you could live again and again, until you got it right?On a cold and snowy night in 1910, Ursula Todd is born to an English banker and his wife.
She dies before she can draw her first breath.
On that same cold and snowy night, Ursula Todd is born, lets out a lusty wail, and embarks upon a life that will be, to say the least, unusual.
For as she grows, she also dies, repeatedly, in a variety of ways, while the young century marches on towards its second cataclysmic world war.
Does Ursula's apparently infinite number of lives give her the power to save the world from its inevitable destiny? And if she can -- will she?
Darkly comic, startlingly poignant, and utterly original -- this is Kate Atkinson at her absolute best.

The Price Of Death
A study by human right group NGO CIVIC revealed the amount of money paid to relatives of victims killed by NATO forces in Afghanistan. Source
If you are killed by German forces your family would by lucky because they paid the highest amount for a single death as much as US$25,000.
Italy forces paid US$13,500.
US military paid US$2,500.
Your family would be unlucky if you are killed by a British soldier, they paid a pittance of US$210 only for your death.
So, the moral of the story is, if you are an Afghan try to avoid being killed by British forces.
Back in America the land of opportunity.
The parents of 18 years old Erin Peterson and 23 years old Julia Pryde both killed in 2007 Virginia Tech University massacre was awarded US$4 million each.
Families of other victims shared US$11 million compensation award. Source

What Two Religion Say About Respecting The Dead
Islam
In Islam, there is a well-established code of ethics that the prophet of Islam preached and practiced throughout his life.
The Prophet prohibits attacks on a wounded person, ensures the safety of prisoner of war and gives unequivocal instruction about not killing captives.
Islam categorically prohibits its followers from disgracing or mutilating the corpses of their enemies.
The respectful treatment of a dead body is a universally recognized principle, even if the dead person is a tyrant.
The spectacle of people walking past and taking pictures of the putrefying bodies of Gaddafi and his son degrades not the dead but those who allow such an abhorrent act. Daily Mail
Article Source: The Guardian
Judism
It has been said that one can be measure by how civilized a culture is by the way it treated the dead.
It is explained how, according to Jewish law, the body is gently cleansed as a preparation for burial.
Prayers are recited, and a "shomer" (guardian) stays with the deceased throughout the process.
Jewish tradition places great importance on the "Levaya," the act of accompanying the dead body to the grave.
The rationale for this practices it beyond simply showing respect to the deceased.
It is when you is kind to the poor is looked upon as being a partner with the Almighty, it follows that someone who shows kindness to the dead (who are "poorer" than any living person), will certainly have gained this relationship with God.

Yitzhak Kaduri : Ariel Sharon And The Messiah
Doctors in Israel are frantically keeping comatose Ariel Sharon alive as long as possible in order to prolong the destruction of the world and preventing the coming of the Messiah.
In 2005, a leading Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri known as the Kabbalistic Elder called upon all Jews over and around the world to return to Israel before the impending disasters which threaten to strike the world and to start building the Temple in preparation for the coming of Jewish righteous Mashiarch (Messiah).
He said that the present government will be the last of the "old era" and that Ariel Sharon will be the last prime minister of Israel. Although comatose, Ariel Sharon is still alive today and succeeded by Netanyahu.
Upon Sharon death the inevitable destruction will happen and followed by the coming the Messiah.
Kaduri died in January 2006.
Before his death, he revealed that the Messiah would appear after the death of Ariel Sharon and the Messiah name is Yehoshua (Jesus).

US Marine urinate on dead Afghan civilians
An anonymous person posted a video with a caption: 'Scout sniper team 4 with 3rd battalion 2nd marines out of camp lejeune peeing on dead talibans.'
The four were members of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina reported CNN.
The 40-second clip shows four men in combat gear standing over the three corpses with their genitals exposed as they relieve themselves can be heard joking 'Have a great day, buddy', 'Golden like a shower' and 'Yeahhhh!' as they groan with relief whilst urinating.
The three corpses are all male and are wearing civilian clothes. The youngest corpse lies on his front with an overturned wheelbarrow dumped by his side.
The other two are on their backs and one has a large blood stain on his chest.
Camp Lejeune is in North Carolina and is the largest Marine Corps Base on the East Coast of the U.S., home to 40,000 marines.
The 3rd Batallion 2nd Marines consists of 800 Marines and sailors and is nicknamed the 'Betio Bastards', a reference to the island of Betio in the Tawara Atoll and the site of one of the most deadly battles with the Japanese in World War II.
Their motto is: 'We quell the storm, and ride the thunder!' or 'Strength and Honour'.
A politician who served in the U.S. Army for two decades today slammed those from outside the military who have criticised the four Marines seen in the video urinating on dead Afghan bodies.
Florida Rep. Allen West, an ex-Army lieutenant colonel, insisted what the Marines did were wrong but fumed: ‘As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.’
Meanwhile a conservative radio host said she wants 'a million cool points for these guys' and would be willing to join them.
'C'mon people, this is a war,' CNN contributor Dana Loesch told FM News Talk 97.1 in St Louis, Missouri. 'Do I have a problem with that as a citizen of the United States? No, I don't.'

Dumping of Dead US Soldiers since 1991
It all started in 1991 at the then little known Dover military mortuary.
The formerly Dover Air Base mortuary director Trevor Dean told Gari-Lynn Smith that the practice goes back to at least to 1996, the first year he started worked there.
When it is known that the remains of dead US soldiers were being disposed of at the garbage dump, President George H.W. Bush banned news media coverage on coffins of deceased US troops arriving at Dover Air Base during the Gulf War in 1991 and the ban was lifted in 2009 by President Obama.
Dumping of dead troops since Bush
By disposing dead US soldiers remain in a garbage dump and its systematic lying to the surviving family members, exposes the real attitude of Pentagon and US military and also its ruling class toward the dead men and women who carry out their imperialism's bloody work in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Celebrated as heroes by politicians and the media, once dead these “heroes” are not even worthy of a dignified burial.
