My work is done. Welcome home Mr. Trump...





Factoid: only one US president in history has served non-consecutive terms, as in win-lose-win: Grover Cleveland.

First Term: 1885-1889 (22nd President)
Lost Election: 1888 to Benjamin Harrison
Second Term: 1893-1897 (24th President)

This makes Trump the second president to win non-consecutive terms.


Donald Trump Wins Foresittership!

After a tight foresittership race with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump is said to have won. Leading up to the wale, polls were saying that Harris and Trump were neck and neck. But in the end Trump came out well ahead with overall bigger rimes, but also well over the needed 270 chooser wales from the riches.

This race was fraught with unforeseen happenings. At first it was not Harris going against Trump, but rather the ongoing foresitter, Joe Biden, running against Trump. It wasn't until shortly after Trump narrowly missed being shot in the head by a lone gunman at one of his gatherings that Biden pulled out and Harris stepped up to take his stead.

After winning against Hillary Clinton in 2016, Trump was the 45th US foresitter from 2017-2021 but lost to Joe Biden when running again. Now that he has won a twoth time, Trump will also be the 47th US foresitter. While the full wale rime is still ongoing, Trump is far enough ahead of Harris that he has been named the winner of the 2024 US foresittership race.

November 6, 1984: Incumbent Republican President Ronald Reagan defeated Democratic nominee Walter Mondale, to gain a landslide re-election victory, carrying 49 of the 50 states. Reagan won 525 of the 538 electoral votes, the most of any presidential candidate in US history.


Slingshot sent to President Reagan by a 9-year-old boy, along with a note saying, "Dear Pres. Reagan, Since you are going to be re-elected in November, I won't need this Mondale National Defence [sic] System that I made. So, I'm sending it to you."





To my Liberal neighbors on every side of me and around me. I’m feeling unburdened by what has been...






Trump is going to need thermonuclear Drano to drain the swamp.
There’s no stalemate here. No equivocation over democratic mandate because of a close result or losing the popular vote. If you believe that elected officials actually wield power in our system, then Trump hypothetically has all the power he needs to do whatever he wants.

That means Musk and RFK in the cabinet. It means another game of “drain the swamp”, and taking the fluoride out of your water and safety-testing vaccines.

BUT, will any of that really happen?

- Will the Democrats certify the results or contest them?
- Will the transfer of power be peaceful?
- Will Trump really “drain the swamp” this time?
- Will RFK really de-fluoridate the water?
- What about Ukraine and Israel?
- What does a Trump presidency mean for the rollout of the Great Reset?
- What’s the next chapter in this story?

Well, here we are post-elections in the US. The Blue Team has screwed the proverbial blooch.

Regardless of how you feel about the outcome, it has been fascinating to watch history in the making. As I recollect the sheer amount of bovine effluvium the world has witnessed these past 10 years with the full-on attack on a candidate, then president, then candidate again, then president-elect, it is rather astounding to see him get a landslide mandate with both houses of CONgress.

It’s certainly not over, by any means. The Hiden regime are a vicious bunch and the hypocritical parasitical media face extinction. The blue blob has less than 3 months to do as much damage as they can, though public scrutiny will focus like Saraon’s Eye upon them.

The pressure is on Trump, too. He has been threatening to “drain the swamp” for a decade, and now he has a mandate and a friendly CONgress, and likely 1 or 2 more Supreme Court appointments, not to mention a substantial brain trust. He won’t have any excuses this time, and no one to blame but himself.

Even if, as some have theorized, KamaLA refuses to certify, that only kicks the process over to the House, where a majority of State delegations are very likely to elect Trump, thus giving him an even stronger grip on the reins. Looking ahead, what might a Trump administration with control of all three branches of the feral gummint do?

The first casualty in this ideological war is the entire infotainment industry, which fell on its collective sword in its myopic zeal to maintain power. Hollywood and the legacy Media traded its remaining shreds of credibility to save the Nanny State, and their cushy position within it.

Beyond that, the next Trump administration faces unwinding DEI corporate suicide, unimaginable illegal immigration, economic ruin, unsustainable national debt, wrecked international relations, a bloated Military-Industrial Complex that will not quietly surrender its 80-year romp through the national treasury, and severe damage to the national psyche from decades of abuse.

Trump has collected an intriguing brain trust capable of streamlining government operations, wiping away piles of fetid agencies and reeking heaps of anti-competitive regulations, and freeing decades-worth of unnecessarily classified documents, but this would entail surrendering much of the power that has made the executive branch such a hot property. It would be amazing to behold, but how likely is it?

I perceive endless scads of opportunity in the day-after hangover, but my tired eyes and ingrained skepticism moderate my rosy fantasies. In any case, the last Trump administration promises plenty of fun to come.

Buckle up, Buck-O!

Simple Fatherly Advice for Thursday Motivation...




The election victory appeared to have gone a little too smoothly. Celebrate while you can...2025 is set to be a paradigm shift in reality...hopefully for the better.



The presidential elections of 2024 have come and gone, and one might think (as I do) that it was all a little too smooth. Celebrate... but with lots of caution. The last time Trump won, his adversaries publicly called for a "military coup" only ten days after his inauguration. I wonder what they'll do this time.


In June 2020, the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) conducted "wargames" for the upcoming election. It should come as no surprise that the TIP wargamers favored extreme measures.

Only 10 days after Trump's inauguration, TIP co-founder Rosa Brooks suggested overthrowing Trump in a "military coup."


Foreign Policy Magazine

Hopefully, this time around the military generals & admirals have accepted his win. I'm anticipating a significant wave of departures from government: from the civil service to the intelligence community to the military. Retirements, moving to the private sector, etc. That in itself can cause some big problems...or opportunities.


Donald Trump has been the President-Elect for not even two days:

- Steve Madden is halting manufacturing in China by half in a year
- Hamas calls for an end to the war in the Middle East
- The Iran backed Houthis announced a ceasefire.
- Putin said he’s ready to work toward peace

November 7, 1867: Marie Curie (Maria Salomea Sklodowska), was born in Warsaw. She was the 1st woman to win a Nobel Prize, the 1st person and only woman to win the Nobel Prize twice, and the only person to win the Nobel Prize in 2 science fields, physics & chemistry. Her husband, Pierre Curie, was a co-winner of her first Nobel Prize, making them the first married couple to win the Nobel Prize and launching the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes. She was, in 1906, the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris.




November 7, 1908: Robert LeRoy Parker better known as Butch Cassidy, age 42 (right) and The Sundance Kid, Harry Longabaugh (left), aged 40 or 41, were killed in San Vicente, Bolivia. Their crime spree featured in the Hollywood film, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford.


There is some Wild West lore and anecdotal evidence, and of course conspiracies that Butch & Sundance were actually intelligence agents for the Secret Service.

I worked (a very short period of time) for a guy who owned a private gold mine somewhere in Southwest Nevada near the supposed grave site of Butch Cassidy, according to the family of which I was sworn to never reveal. My paycheck was 20% for every gram I dug up. It was fun the first few months but brutal, arduous labor that I decided wasn't worth the back breaking effort nor the risk; aside from the rattlesnakes & scorpions...once bitten & twice stung.



November 7, 1921: 2,200 Marines were deployed across the nation to protect the U.S. Mail after gangsters had committed a rash of robberies. The iconic Thompson submachine gun ("Tommy gun") was put into service for the first time when it was issued to the USMC and Postal Inspectors. Going postal with a Tommy gun.


Marines Ordered to Guard Mail

The Marines didn't have to put their special orders and training to the test as the mail robberies came to a screeching halt. From the day the Marines assumed guard duty until March 15, 1922, when they were withdrawn, not a single attempted mail robbery took place.


November 7, 1944: Incumbent Democratic President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was elected for a record 4th term as President by defeating the Republican nominee, Thomas Dewey. Roosevelt won the Electoral College by a landslide of 432 to 99 votes.


Amendment 22 of 1947 (ratified in 1951) to the US Constitution put a cap limit of two terms.


November 7, 1972: President Richard Nixon was re-elected as US President, defeating Democratic US Senator George McGovern. His margin of victory in the Electoral College was 520 to 17, which at the time was the largest margin of victory in the Electoral College for a Republican. Now, that was a helluva landslide (short-lived) victory!

November 7, 1974: Unsolved Mystery: British peer Lord Lucan, Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan was a Banker & professional gambler who mysteriously disappeared after the brutal murder of his children’s nanny, Sandra Rivett and a serious assault on his wife, Veronica. Lucan was officially declared dead by the High Court in 1999, but it’s not clear if he had died or time traveled to another dimension.



Declared dead in absentia on 27 October 1999 (age 64), with an official death certificate being issued on 3 February 2016 (age 81).

Rumoured to have been briefly considered by Albert R. Broccoli for the role of James Bond, Lucan was known for his expensive tastes; he raced power boats and drove an Aston Martin. In 1963, Lucan married Veronica Duncan, with whom he had three children.

Former Det Chief Supt Drummond Marvin, also joined a growing chorus of speculation that the louche playboy fled to an African bolthole where a number of people he knew owned gold and diamond mines.

November 7, 1975: Wonder Woman was 1st shown on ABC TV. It starred Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman and Diana Prince. The 1st season was set in the 1940s, The 2nd and 3rd seasons on CBS were set in late 1970s, with title The New Adventures of Wonder Woman.



Did you know that feminist icon Wonder Woman was created by a US Army psychological warfare instructor.

William Moulton Marston, (May 9, 1893 – May 2, 1947) a polymath, scholar, a professor, and a scientist, lawyer, film maker, inventor of the lie detector test (Sooo, about that lasso of truth) created "Wonder Woman". Margaret Sanger (yes, that Sanger) was part of Marston’s family. Margaret Sanger and H. G. Wells were lovers!

Wonder Woman's cuffs were based on Marston's partner Olive Byrne's real bracelets, and she wore them to commemorate her private wedding to Marston and Holloway! Marston had two wives, one to work and one to raise the children. What a guy!

He dedicates an entire chapter to bondage, but titling it "Suffering Sappho". I'm not sure there are enough adjectives in the English language to adequately describe William Moulton Marston.

A Japanese journalist who covered the first Trump Administration claimed on Kansai TV that Donald Trump says, "I wish I could see Shinzo," when he's feeling down. This information was said to have come from "people close to Trump."

Memes become reality for some...


I have not heard such a claim reported in English language media. In the same Japanese TV program he also made the argument that Prime Minister Ishiba's reputation within Japan as a political rival of Abe's was "well-known" in America and would work against Ishiba's attempts to build good relations with the president-elect. I really doubt that Trump would know or care about past rivalries within Japan's ruling party.

It should be noted that in the past, some Japanese pundits mistakenly took the internet memes about the ghost of Abe saving Trump seriously. They shared the meme story like it was something that actually happened.

Japanese conservative pundits with very large follower counts claimed that Trump heard Abe Shinzo's voice and moved out of the path of the bullet. They were sharing it like it was real news from the US. It originated from a joke/meme post written in English.

November 8, 1342: Julian of Norwich was born according to some scholars but this date is highly controversial. Most literature states late 1342 or early 1343 during the Black Death plague running rampant. Her real name is unknown and very little is known of her life aside from her writings. Her book, Revelations of Divine Love is the 1st known book written by a woman in English. Julian was largely unknown until 1670 when her writings were 1st published.


Julian of Norwich was the first English woman to ever publish a book. It was a religious book called Revelations of Divine Love, which she wrote in 1393. She was a special kind of mystic, known as an anchoress. Her writings are also the only surviving English-language works by an anchoress.

In Christianity, an anchorite or anchoret is someone who, for religious reasons, withdraws from secular society to be able to lead an intensely prayer-oriented, ascetic, or Eucharist-focused life.

Julian's writings indicate that she was born in 1343 or late 1342, and died after 1416. She was six when the Black Death arrived in Norwich. It has been speculated that she was educated as a young girl by the Benedictine nuns of Carrow Abbey, as a school for girls existed there during her childhood. There is no written evidence that she was ever a nun at Carrow.

From the time these things were first revealed I had often wanted to know what was our Lord's meaning. It was more than fifteen years after that I was answered in my spirit's understanding. "You would know our Lord's meaning in this thing? Know it well. Love was His meaning. Who showed it to you? Love. What did He show you? Love. Why did He show it? For love. Hold on to this and you will know and understand love more and more. But you will not know or learn anything else – ever."

Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love

Julian of Norwich is now recognized as one of England's most important mystics; according to Leyser, she was the greatest English anchoress. For the theologian Denys Turner the core issue Julian addresses in Revelations of Divine Love is "the problem of sin". Julian says that sin is behovely, which is often translated as "necessary", "appropriate", or "fitting".

A River of Liberal Tears....Salty Goodness


When you starve a society of those called to be independent thinkers and cultural and intellectual innovators, you rob that society of any forward movement. Those that tried to impose that control maintained a kind of hall monitor position by threatening others with damning labels like Sexist, racist, homophobic, etc, when the free-thinking and questioning was nothing of the sort. However, the mob mentality that followed caused these social convictions when there was often no evidence to support them.




Ring the bells that still can ring

That's how the light gets in.

Guardian offers counselling to staff after ‘upsetting’ Trump election result

Newspaper’s editor says publication will redouble effort to hold president-elect to account

'The Guardian is offering counselling to staff as it vowed to support its workforce after Donald
Trump’s “upsetting” US election victory this week.

In an email to staff, The Guardian’s editor Katharine Viner said the election had “exposed alarming
fault lines on many fronts” and urged journalists based in the UK to contact colleagues in the US
“to offer your support”.

Ms Viner said that the result would be “upsetting for many others”, according to the memo seen
by Guido Fawkes, adding: “If you want to talk about it, your manager and members of the leadership
team are all available, as the People team.
There is also free access to free support services, which I’ve outlined at the end of this email.”

It comes after Ms Viner sought to reassure readers over the election outcome, writing in an editorial
on Wednesday that the paper would “stand up to four more years of Donald Trump” and that the
election was an “extraordinary, devastating moment in the history of the United States”.

Ms Viner added: “With Trump months away from taking office again – with dramatic implications for
wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, the health of American democracy, reproductive rights, inequality
and, perhaps most of all, our collective environmental future – it’s time for us to redouble our efforts
to hold the president-elect and those who surround him to account.”

Above an invitation to donate to The Guardian, her editorial ended with the message that the paper
“will stand up to these threats, but it will take brave, well-funded independent journalism. It will take
reporting that can’t be leaned upon by a billionaire owner terrified of retribution from a bully in the
White House.”

A Guardian spokesman said on Thursday: “What you refer to as ‘therapy after Trump result’ is actually
our employee assistance programme – a function that any responsible international media organisation
has available for staff at all times.”

In the US, some colleges have given students time off, an extension on deadlines, art therapy classes
and access to a therapy duck in response to Trump’s win. The University of Oregon told students this
week that to “promote well-being and lessen anxiety during election week, University Health Services
is bringing Quacktavious the Therapy Duck to campus”.

Students at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy were reportedly told this week
that they could play with Lego, colouring books and drink milk and cookies in “self-care suites”
following the result.

The University of Michigan is also hosting an “art therapy” and “post-election processing” event.
Some stores in the US even closed on Wednesday, with Iowa retailer The Collective writing on its
Instagram page that it was closing to allow for a “day of collective grief”.
Among the overseas reaction was Germany’s popular weekly Die Zeit, which led its website on
Wednesday with the one-word expletive “F---”...'

November 9, 1918: Having lost the support of the military and the people, Kaiser Wilhelm II was forced to abdicate his throne and flee Germany for the Netherlands. Power was handed to a Republican government led by the leader of the Social Democratic Party, Friedrich Ebert. This marked the end of the German Empire as well as the Hohenzollern dynasty's 300-year rule of Prussia.




November 9-10, 1938: The Nazi regime launched Kristallnacht ("The Night of the Broken Glass"), against the Jewish community, which saw 267 synagogues destroyed by fire, 7,000 business wrecked and 30,000 Jewish men taken to concentration camps. The official death toll was 91. 29 year-old German diplomat, Ernst vom Rath died from gunshot wounds in Paris, inflicted by German-born Jew Herschel Grynszpan. It led to a wave of anti-Jewish vandalism in Nazi Germany, encouraged by the SS and the Stormtroopers, known as Kristallnacht.


Last Night’s Pogrom in Amsterdam Some things just never change.


November 9, 1965: Mount Weather (aka High Point, aka Special Facility, aka Classified Location aka "Special Facilities Division") went on full alert for the first time in its history.

The Northeast Blackout that began on this day in 1965 where several U.S. states and parts of Canada were hit by a series of blackouts lasting up to 13 hours served as the inspiration for the Doris Day 1968 comedy WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT?



You can read the (lengthy) declassified duty log:

Mount Weather: Northeast Blackout Log

The public had no knowledge this top secret facility even existed, that is until the crash of TWA 514 (Boeing 727-231) into the mountain on December 1, 1974, killed 92 people and brought widespread and much unwanted public attention to the top-secret facility.

Col. J. Leo Bourassa headed up the "Special Facilities Division" within the Office of Emergency Planning. He is the person mentioned in the Blue Book file dealing with the Kecksburg crash.

Aerial photographs of Mount Weather show the presidential heliport where the president is dropped off. The tower that directs in the president’s flight is known as "bluegrass tower." In the Kecksburg Blue Book file right after J. Leo Bourassa’s name you will find (Code blue grass). Another connection to the code "bluegrass" is a paranormal CIA project started in 1955, which I haven’t confirmed yet.

While at the Johnson library I was looking for files on Bourassa and on the "Special facilities Division" to see how it fit into the Kecksburg crash. What I learned about Bourassa while at the library is that he had also been heavily involved in the 1965 blackout of New York City. In fact, he wrote a report to Ellington detailing his findings. Bourassa’s findings hinted at the possible role of UFOs in the blackout.

The White House Role in Crashed UFO Retrievals by Grant Cameron.

Dr. Joseph P. Farrell tells an intriguing story about this 1965 Blackout that was potentially caused by a UFO or some weird advanced technology. However, I seem to have misplaced the interview link in my notes and not able to find. Sorry.



November 9, 1967: The 1st issue of Rolling Stone magazine was published. It featured John Lennon’s appearance in the film, How I Won The War. The founder of the magazine, Jann Wenner, wrote that Rolling Stone was intended to be a combination of a newspaper and a magazine.




November 9, 1975: several crew members seized the Soviet destroyer Storozhevoy to protest corruption in the Brezhnev government. The USSR deployed half the Baltic fleet and 60 aircraft to pursue and retake the ship. The incident inspired Tom Clancy to write THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER.

In November 1975, a group of sailors led by the ship's political officer took over the Soviet "Krivak" class destroyer "Storozhevoy" and attempted to sail to Sweden to seek asylum. They were attacked and turned back by Soviet naval and air units. Information of this dramatic event which has never been acknowledged by the Soviets, made it to the West only piece by piece. It was the intent of this study to assemble all available data for critical analysis to determine potential causes and implications.

This mutiny is not the only instance of dissent in the Soviet Navy r.cr will it be the last. Problems of alcoholism, officer-enlisted relations, food, hazing, habitability, desertion, ethnic friction and unhappiness over constant political indoctrination appear to be widespread.

The key question is: how important, are these instances of dissent and how do we incorporate them into a framework for assessing soviet military capability and performance?

....

The Zampolit (political officer) of the Storozhevoy, a Captain Third Rank (Lieuteuant Commander) by the name of Valery Mikhaylovich Sablin, had stayed aboard ship rather than venture into Riga with a number of his fellow officers. He had a great deal of planning to do.

IV. THE MUTINY

At approximately 0200 hours on the eighth of November, the Storozhevoy slipped quietly from her berth in Riga to begin a dash across Riga Gulf. Course was set for the Irben Channel at the mouth of the Gulf between the Osel and the Courland Peninsula. It will probably never be known how many of the crew were loyal to Sablin and the other conspirators. Although gas turbine powered, the Krivak class is considerably less automated than the later American gas turbine powered "Spruance" class and would thus require a greater number of persons to man the engine room and the bridge. In addition, line handlers and persons in navigation and auxiliary spaces would be required. It would be possible to speculate that Sablin with one other known officer participant named Markov and a loyal following of a dozen petty officers, were able to order the remaining skeleton crew of unwary 18 and 19-year-old conscripted sailors into manning their respective stations with tales of a national or naval emergency.

Effin finally, Donald Trump wins Nevada! Returning the silver state and its six electoral votes to Republicans for the first time since President George W. Bush carried it in 2004. Why has this race not been called yet in Arizona? Trump is now winning by over 181,500 votes in Arizona.


AP News |  Why AP called Nevada’s presidential race for Trump

Amazing times ahead when you realize Donald Trump will be president during the 250th anniversary of the United States, LA Summer Olympics, World Cup, and a possible manned Moon landing. History loves its rhymes.


Chicago has its first MAGA ward. Trump convincingly won the 41st Ward with 54%. This is the first time a Chicago ward has voted for a Republican presidential candidate since 1992. Lord knows that Chicago requires a lot of cleaning & purging.

11/11 Happy Veterans Day! During WWI, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, an armistice went into effect and all fighting between the allied nations and Germany ceased. At the time, it was the deadliest military conflict in history, with an estimated 9 million military deaths and 13 million civilian deaths.

November 11, 1918: 5:45 AM. The Allies and Germany signed the Armistice in a railway carriage at Le Francport near Compiègne, thereby agreeing to end fighting on land, sea and air in Europe, in the "Great War of 1914-1918". It took effect at 11:00 AM Paris time on the same day. Then, for the first time in four years, the bells of Big Ben rang over the streets of London.



In an extraordinary coincidence, at about 10:45 am on June 28, 1914, the number plate of the car in which the Archduke Franz Ferdinand & his wife was traveling when both were assassinated was A 111 118.

In 1919, President Wilson declared November 11 to be Armistice Day, honoring those who served in the Great War. President Eisenhower changed the name to Veterans Day, now including those who fought in World War II and in subsequent wars, still keeping the historic symbolism of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.


Despite the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, ironically on June 22, 1940 Hitler will use the same railway carriage to have the French sign their surrender in World War 2, then he had the carriage flattened.

November 11, 1918: 9:30 AM. George Ellison, (aged 40), born in York, became the last British soldier to be killed in the "Great War of 1914-19". He was shot dead by a German sniper while on a patrol in woodland on the outskirts of Mons, Belgium.

November 11, 1918: 10:58 AM. a Canadian soldier, was shot by a German sniper just two minutes before the bugles sounded the end of the fighting.

November 11, 1918: 10:59 AM. American soldier Henry Gunther is credited as being the last Allied soldier killed in the First World War. Eye witnesses claimed the 23-year-old bravely (some believed foolishly) charged at German machine gunners with a fixed bayonet.

November 11, 1919: Britain introduced a 2 minute silence at 11:00 AM to remember those who died in the First World War. The silence coincides with the time in 1918 at which the conflict came to an end in Europe, with the cessation of hostilities.

November 11, 1921: The 1st British Legion Poppy Day was held. It was inspired by the poem, In Flanders’ Fields, written by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. Since then, the Poppy Appeal has been a key annual event in Britain's calendar.

Armistice Soundwave quest to reimagine what the end of the First World War might’ve sounded like began with a single image.



November 11, 1942: The 2nd Battle of El Alamein ended in a decisive Allied victory over the Axis forces. The British 8th Army was commanded by Lt General Bernard Montgomery. Churchill later said: "Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein, we never had a defeat.”


His quote avoids the "Battle of Arnhem" (1944) defeat in part of Operation Market Garden. Churchill liked hyperbole. Although, it was the Australian 9th Division - the famous Rats of Tobruk, the crack Allied infantry unit of WWII which demolished Rommel and forced him to move his "hardened" German troops north to try and stop another "Tobruk" encounter with the Aussies. However, to be fair the newly British crack unit SAS played a critical role in taking down Nazis in North Africa. Those boys are legendary; they all were.

THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE (2024)
Based on the 2014 book "Churchill's Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWII" by Damien Lewis. Billed as a true story about a secret British World War II organization; the Special Operations Executive. Founded by Winston Churchill, their irregular warfare against the Germans helped to change the course of the war, and gave birth to modern black operations. Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is a super badass with bow & arrow & knives.



November 11, 1953: The BBC current affairs programme, Panorama, was broadcast for the 1st time. It was the brainchild of Dennis Bardens and Andrew Miller Jones, and was originally intended as a fortnightly reflection of contemporary affairs on all aspects of life in Britain. The show is still running today and is the world's longest-running Current Affairs documentary program, though the show's format has changed many times over the years.

On 1 April 1957, a news segment was broadcast about the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest with footage of Swiss peasants harvesting spaghetti strands from spaghetti trees. Many viewers were taken in and phoned in asking how to grow their own spaghetti trees; they received the reply "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best." It was considered one of the best April Fools' hoaxes of all time.

Helluva of a first episode.




The U.S. Navy has confirmed that a wreck discovered last year by the Royal Australian Navy is that of USS Edsall (DD 219). Lost in the Indian Ocean about 250 miles SSE of Christmas Island in 1942, the exact fate of the Edsall was unknown until a decade later when captured Japanese film revealed that the destroyer had been sunk after coming under attack by two cruisers, two battleships, and 26 dive bombers from three carriers. A post-war investigation uncovered several mass graves in East Indies and  determined that at least five of Edsall's crewmen were captured and executed, all were beheaded, including captured Dutch sailors.

U.S. Navy Clemson-class destroyer USS Edsall (DD-219) (misidentified as "HMS Pope") being sunk on 1 March 1942 south of Java. A Japanese camera-man, probably on the cruiser Tone, filmed about 90 seconds of her destruction. A single frame from a film recorded from the deck of IJN cruise Tone was used as a propaganda photo later, misidentified as "the British destroyer HMS Pope". There was no HMS Pope. A USS Pope (DD-225) was sunk by air attack in the Second Battle of the Java Sea that same day but hundreds of miles away.


The last stand of the American destroyer USS Edsall, that staged a last stand against a huge Japanese fleet off Java in 1942, remained a mystery until 1980. Here is the full story.




Caroline Kennedy/Vice Admiral Mark Hammond Chief of Navy Australia video:

Statement from CNO on discovery of the location of the wreck of destroyer USS Edsall (DD-219)


L. Ron Hubbard wanted some of that action and claimed that he had served on USS Edsall during World War II and that, following her sinking, he swam to shore and remained in the jungle as the ship's sole survivor. He claimed that this is where he was during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, although Edsall had been sunk in 1942, and the U.S. Navy has no record of his service on the ship. Navy records show that Hubbard was in training in New York when the war broke out. He was supposed to be posted to the Philippines, but his ship was diverted to Australia. There he angered the US naval attaché for assuming "unauthorized duties"; he was relieved from his assignment and returned to the United States.

November 12, 1840: Auguste Rodin was born in Paris, France. He’s known for such sculptures as The Thinker, The Kiss, The Burghers of Calais (commemorates the Hundred Years' War), and The Gates of Hell. The Musée Rodin in Paris, which opened in 1919, holds the largest Rodin collection with more than 6,000 sculptures.

A monumental bronze sculptural group work by French artist Auguste Rodin that depicts a scene from the Inferno, the first section of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. It stands at 6 metres high, 4 metres wide and 1 metre deep (19.7×13.1×3.3 ft) and contains 180 figures.




Nov 12, 1924: The cereal later known as Wheaties is first sold, as Washburn's Gold Medal Whole Wheat Flakes in Minnesota. The product is the result of an accident at Washburn Crosby Co. when an employee dropped bran gruel onto a hot stove and it bubbled into a crispy flake.

Washburn (now General Mills) had been working to develop food products that use whole wheat, in response to growing consumer demand for healthier food. After 36 attempts, it bakes the bran-wheat mixture it had discovered into a form that withstands packaging.



"Gold Medal" is a modest success but Wheaties becomes a phenomenon due to marketing. The name change is made in late 1924, after a contest won by Jane Bausman, the wife of a company manager. Rejected names included "Nutties." The same year Wheaties airs its first radio jingle. Wheaties’ association with sports goes back to 1927 when it sponsors radio broadcasts of minor league baseball’s Minneapolis Millers. For a billboard at the Millers park, ad agent Knox Reeves thinks of a winning slogan: "Breakfast of Champions."


Wheaties’ first mascot is Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy, a character whose vigor is credited to his favorite cereal. In 1934 it uses an athlete endorser (Lou Gehrig) for the first time; the first man on the front of a Wheaties box is pole vaulter Bob Richards, in 1959. As a kid I practically lived on Wheaties.



November 12, 1939: Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s snow cruiser designed by Dr. Thomas Poulter passes through traffic and onlookers before halting for the night in Framingham, Massachusetts.


In 1939, scientists and engineers at Chicago’s Armour Institute of Technology designed and built a massive new vehicle intended for use in Antarctic exploration. The Antarctic Snow Cruiser measured 55 feet long, weighed more than 37 tons fully loaded, and rolled on four smooth 10-foot-tall tires designed to retract and allow part of the vehicle to scoot across crevasses. The Institute loaned the $150,000 machine to the U.S. government for its upcoming Antarctic expedition headed by Rear Admiral Richard Byrd, and had the Snow Cruiser driven from Chicago to Boston (at a top speed of 30 mph) to be loaded on the ship the North Star. The crew managed to deliver the Snow Cruiser to the Antarctic ice, but the design proved faulty, and the vehicle was soon converted to a stationary crew quarters, never to leave Antarctica again. The diesel-electric hybrid powertrain was severely underpowered, and the smooth tires, designed for swampy terrain, offered very little traction, sinking into the snow. More than 75 years later, the world is still unsure where it is—the Antarctic Snow Cruiser could remain buried somewhere under sheets of ice, or it could have broken off with an ice floe, eventually sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

Here's an interesting 1 minute color movie of the nearly-disastrous unloading of the Snow Cruiser on January 15, 1940:




Thomas Poulter (1897-1978) taught physics while attending high school (1914-1918), joined the U.S. Navy in 1918 and returned to school in 1921. He was also the associate director at SRI International from 1948 till his death inside his lab where he worked on explosives, weather and eventually Biosonar.

The Poulter Laboratory at SRI International was named after him. After he retired from managing Poulter Labs he founded the Bio Sonar Lab and Marine Mammal Study Center for SRI in the Coyote Hills outside of Fremont CA in 1964. This was the first laboratory in North America devoted to studying the behavior and physiology of sea mammals.

He was second in command on the Second Byrd Antarctic Mission to the South Pole with Richard E. Byrd. The Poulter Glacier was named after him by Admiral Byrd. Byrd credited him with saving his life as the expedition leader approached death from carbon monoxide poisoning.

After his first expedition he became the scientific director of the Armour Research Foundation at the Armour Institute of Technology (later Illinois Institute of Technology) where he developed the Antarctic Snow Cruiser (aka "Penguin 1"). This device was built for and taken along on his second expedition with Admiral Byrd in 1939.

Secret Science and the Secret Space Program; paperback – November 12, 2014 by free energy researcher Herbert G Dorsey III. The science and technology of anti-gravity and extracting energy from space itself was developed in the late 19th and early 20th century by scientists and experimenters like John Worrell Keely, Nicola Tesla, and Thomas Townsend Brown. But today, this science is purposely overlooked and regulated to the world of "Black Projects."




Nov 12, 1970: Exploding Whale Day! - the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a beached whale carcass was to blow it up with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators & cars for over a 1/4 of a mile. A five-foot chunk of whale blubber hit a new Oldsmobile that spectator Walter Umenhofer had bought at a dealer's "whale of a deal" promotion. Due to the physical damage and the smell that permeated the car, insurance covered the full retail value of the Olds.



The TV segment is a classic. Ya gotta see it to believe it. Blubber Ahoy! Early Internet! LMAO!
