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.

Billed as a true story about a secret British World War II organization; the Special Operations Executive.

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:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdN19fR16PI

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.

November 13, 1942: "The Fighting Sullivans" - 5 American brothers (Joe, Frank, Albert, Madison, and George Sullivan), died in the aftermath of the sinking of the light cruiser USS Juneau by the Japanese Navy at the Battle of Guadalcanal aka The Battle of Friday the 13th, aka The Night of the Big Guns. It was the largest loss of life by a single American family serving during WWII.

The torpedo damage inflicted the coup de grâce as a massive explosion sent Juneau crashing to the ocean floor in under a minute. Juneau's 100+ survivors (out of a total complement of 697) were left to fend for themselves in the open ocean for eight days before rescue aircraft belatedly arrived. While awaiting rescue, all but ten of Juneau's crew had died from their injuries, the elements, or shark attacks.


The Wreckage was found by Paul Allen's research crew on March 17, 2018 off the coast of the Solomon Islands.

The first ship named for the brothers was the Fletcher-class destroyer USS The Sullivans (DD-537), now a museum ship in Buffalo, New York. The second ship is USS The Sullivans (DDG-68) is an Arleigh Burke-class (Flight I) Aegis guided missile destroyer commissioned in 1997. Current status: Active.

November 14, 1864: Franz Müller (31 October 1840 – 14 November 1864) was a German tailor who was hanged for the murder of Thomas Briggs, the first killing on a British train. The case caught the imagination of the public due to increasing safety fears about rail travel at the time and the pursuit of Müller across the pond to New York City by Scotland Yard.

The case was the subject of a 2013 BBC documentary, Murder On The Victorian Railway, and of Episode 1 of Railway Murders, first broadcast on the Yesterday channel in 2021.

November 14, 1889: American Investigative journalist Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman, pen name Nellie Bly began an attempt to travel around the world in less than 80 days in emulation of Jules Verne’s fictional character, Phileas Fogg, in Around The World in Eighty Days. Bly completed the journey in 72 days. She did an exposé in which she worked undercover to report on a mental institution from within. She pioneered her field and launched a new kind of investigative journalism.



Nellie Bly had a significant impact on American culture and shed light on the experiences of marginalized women beyond the bounds of the asylum as she ushered in the era of stunt girl journalism. In 1893, Bly used the celebrity status she had gained from her asylum reporting skills to schedule an exclusive interview with the allegedly insane serial killer Lizzie Halliday.

November 14, 1941: British aircraft carrier, HMS Ark Royal (pennant number 91), was hit by a SINGLE torpedo from German U-boat the U-81 and sank off Gibraltar the following day.

Ark Royal operated in some of the most active naval theatres of the Second World War. She was involved in the first aerial U-boat kills of the war, operations off Norway, the search for the German battleship Bismarck, and the Malta Convoys. Ark Royal survived several near misses and gained a reputation as a 'lucky ship'. Apparently, God was on her side as only ONE sailor died out of a crew of 1,488.



Her sinking was the subject of several inquiries, with investigators keen to know how the carrier was lost in spite of efforts to save the ship and tow her to the naval base at Gibraltar. They found that several design flaws contributed to the loss, which were rectified in new British carriers.

The wreck was discovered in December 2002 by an American underwater survey company using sonar mounted on an autonomous underwater vehicle, under contract from the BBC for the filming of a documentary about the ship, at a depth of about 3,300 feet (1,000 m) and approximately 30 nautical miles (56 km; 35 mi) from Gibraltar.


The Fairey Swordfish was a biplane torpedo bomber, designed by the Fairey Aviation Company. Originating in the early 1930s, the Swordfish, nicknamed "Stringbag", was principally operated by the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy. It was also used by the Royal Air Force (RAF), as well as several overseas operators, including the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the Royal Netherlands Navy. It was initially operated primarily as a fleet attack aircraft. During its later years, the Swordfish was increasingly used as an anti-submarine and training platform. The type was in frontline service throughout the Second World War. Crews likened the aircraft to a housewife's string shopping bag, common at the time and which could accommodate contents of any shape, and that a Swordfish, like the shopping bag, could carry anything.

This Nazi was unreal... Friedrich Guggenberger was captured in July 1943 by American forces, badly wounded, was operated on and hospitalised before being transferred to Fort Hunt on 25 September 1943, then the Prisoner of war camp at Crossville later that month. By late January 1944 Guggenberger had been moved to the Papago Park camp near Phoenix, Arizona.

After recovery, Guggenberger met with four other U-boat commanders and on 12 February 1944 they escaped from the camp. Guggenberger travelled with August Maus, but they were recaptured in Tucson, Arizona. Guggenberger was part of the Great Papago Escape, a larger breakout of 25 POWs on the night of 23–24 December 1944. This time he travelled with Jürgen Quaet-Faslem and managed to make it to within 16 km (10 miles) of the Mexican border before they were recaptured on 6 January 1945. After these escapades, Guggenberger was transferred to Camp Shanks, New York in February, 1946, and was then repatriated to Germany. He was held in a compound in the British zone, near Münster, before being released in August 1946.

Guggenberger was credited with sinking 17 ships! Wait, it get's better...

Guggenberger became an architect, before rejoining the navy, by now the Bundesmarine in 1956. From 5 August 1958 to 25 June 1959, he studied at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, and rose to the rank of Konteradmiral (equivalent to 1-star admiral in US Navy). When Konrad Adenauer, the former Chancellor of Germany, died on 19 April 1967, Guggenberger was chosen for the military honor guard on April 25th.

He became the Deputy Chief of Staff in the NATO command AFNORTH, and served there for four years. He retired in October 1972. In his last years, Guggenberger suffered from Alzheimer's disease. On May 13, 1988 he left his home for a stroll in the forest and never returned. His body was found two years later.

In case you're wondering, No, he was not the only Nazi to be given a NATO high command position.

Revolutions are a messy business, and the world is watching. The world is officially in a state of revolt, and the 2024 US election was the shot across the bow. The real world government got the lead poisoning they had intended for Trump. World War II was how they took over. Wonder what it will take to get rid of them? I'm not so sure most folks have a clue about what they’ve just unleashed and I'm sure many are feeling lost. If Americans can sustain what they have started, many more nations will follow, and that’s what really scares the piss and vinegar out of the wild beastly crowd. The hornets have just been stirred.

November 16, 1855: Scottish explorer Dr. David Livingstone became the 1st known European to see what was known as Mosi-oa-Tunya ("The smoke that thunders"). He named this enormous waterfall, located on the modern border between Zambia and Zimbabwe as Victoria Falls. (355 feet tall, 5,604 feet wide) The falls became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1989.

Scientism is the new religion of mankind, combined with the return of shamanism and the esoteric as mankind acquiesces to the virtual.

The first General Conference took place from 19 November to 10 December 1946, and elected Julian Huxley to Director-General.

UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy by Julian Huxley (1946)
His summary of the program, the outline of UNESCO, will lead to a worldwide foundation for a minimum universal basic credit system. He says this will reconcile all opposition's in the world. It will no longer be dogmas but rather evolutionary humanism and science (scientism) will be the basis for everyone's faith.

George V. Allen (November 3, 1903 – July 11, 1970) was a US diplomat to Iran, Yugoslavia, India, Nepal, and Greece who rose to Director of the U.S. Information Agency where he expanded the activities of Voice of America and increasing US participation in the UNESCO.

With three rookies, Skylab 4 was the largest all-rookie crew launched by NASA. Recovery is performed by USS New Orleans (LPH 11). Urban legend is that the Skylab-4 crew, dissatisfied with the micromanagement of their daily timelines, staged a strike (some called it a mutiny) by turning off the space station’s radio, taking the day off, and doing whatever they pleased...

Occasionally pageants aimed to further an idea or promote a concept, as opposed to simply marketing sausages or fur pelts. Miss Psywar was one such pageant. Psywar, or psychological warfare, was not a new concept. The wartime efforts of the 1940’s needed not only covert psy-ops in order to beleaguer enemies, but also some good old fashioned morale boosting for the folks at home. So, the Miss Psywar pageant was born. Not much is known about it, besides the fact that it took place in Washington state in the 1940’s, and the little that can be gleaned from the surviving photographs – showing young women in in bullet bra style swimsuits, standing around horn loudspeakers! I'm guessing this sounded like a good idea at the time.

The women of the Thurlow family proved they were serious fans of the TV show St. Elsewhere. Even as their house burned down around them, they remained parked in front of the TV set, watching the latest episode through the haze of the smoke, unwilling to miss a single moment. The firefighters had to drag them away. But as soon as the fire was extinguished, the women rushed back into the house and were able to catch the final 10 minutes.

Why did Biden’s DOD order an industrial shredder the day Trump won the election? I can think of a few reasons.




Rocket in flight following release from an F-15E, a mock B61-3 spins above Sandia’s Tonopah Test Range in the Nevada desert in 2022. TTR has been in operation since 1957 and plays a crucial role in the nation’s nuclear deterrence mission. The B61-3 is a tactical thermonuclear gravity bomb, up to around 170kt and in the active nuclear arsenal since October 1979.

What is happening? This is not the usual transfer of the resident of the White House. This is starting to look like an actual transfer of power, not just from Biden to Trump but from the permanent government – ensconced in many sectors – that has been long in hiding to an entirely new form of government responsive to actual voters.

As it turns out, there was no late surge for Kamala Harris. All the [left leaning] polls were wrong, and the rest was media blather. What was correct were the betting odds on Polymarket, and only days later, the FBI raided the 26-year-old founder’s home and confiscated his phone and laptop.

There are still many millions of missing voters, people who supposedly showed up for Biden in 2020 but stayed home this time. Meanwhile, there has been a historic shift in all races, ethnicities, and regions, with even the possibility of flipping California from blue to red in the future.

After decades of academic slicing and dicing of the population according to ever more eccentric identity buckets involving race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual interest, along with countless thousands of studies documenting deep complexity over intersectionality, the driving force of the election was simple: class, and the few intellectuals and some wealthy entrepreneurs who understand that.

The division was not really left vs right. It was workers vs laptoppers, wage earners vs six-figure stay-at-homers, bottom half vs top 5 percent, people with actual skills vs weaponized resume wielders, and those with affection for old-world values vs those whose educations have beaten it out of them for purposes of career advancement.

The silent majority has never been so suddenly loud. It just so happened that the heavily privileged had come to inhabit easily identifiable sectors of American society and, in the end, had no choice but hitch the whole of the overclass wagon to the fortunes of a candidate like themselves (Kamala) but who was unable to pull off a compelling masquerade. Not even a parade of well-paid celebrity endorsements could save her from total rebuke at the polls.

November 17, 1869: The Suez Canal in Egypt was officially opened, during a lavish Inauguration Ceremony. It had taken 10 years to build. It’s an artificial sea-level waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Isthmus of Suez.


In a distinct British voice: Entirely financed by Britain and France. Lost in 1956 - with a great deal of help from our "key ally" which led to the Suez Crisis of October–November 1956.


November 17, 1913: German monarch Kaiser Wilhelm II banned members of the the armed forces from dancing the Tango while in uniform, describing the dance as “Rinnsteinkind”, (a child of the curbstone) but tango was all the rage among the high classes especially in Germany. It was fashionable to throw elegant “Tango Tea Parties” but it began to incur the wrath of government and church leaders. Cardinal Amette in Paris declared that “Christians should not in good conscience take part in it.” Pope Benedict XV complained “An outrageous, indecent, heathen dance, which is an assassination of family and social life”...Despite these bans the tango survived, particularly through the First World War, as people sought distractions from the horrors of war.

November 17, 1970: The Soviet Union soft landed the Luna 17 spacecraft on the moon in the Sea of Rains at 3:46:50 UT on at 38.23764 N, 35.00163 W., which included an unmanned, remote-controlled vehicle called Lunokhod 1. It was the 1st remote-controlled space "rover" to freely move across the surface of the moon.


The operations of Lunokhod officially ceased on October 4, 1971, the anniversary of Sputnik 1. Just imagine how far along WE would be if only we had made friends in pioneering a joint space program back in 1963. Then again if you believe in the secret space program, who knows what they have out there today.


November 17, 1995: "Today" which became the UK’s newest national daily newspaper in 1986, ceased publication. It was launched on 4 March 1986, as a major rival to the long-established UK tabloids, and had pioneered computer photo-typesetting and full-colour printing. The colour was initially crude, but it forced the conversion of all UK national newspapers to electronic production and colour printing. The newspaper's motto, hung in the newsroom, was "propa truth, not propaganda".


The editorial said: "Now we are forced into silence by the granite and unforgiving face of the balance sheet". In the immediate aftermath of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the Today paper showed a fireman carrying the body of a young girl under the headline "In the name of Islam", however it was found that the bombing had been perpetrated by two anti-government white supremacists. (Official Gov story of course)



November 17, 1991: Secret Government Succession Plans. CNN aired an investigative piece on the U.S. government's COG-centric National Program Office or N.P.O.



The NPO was an office of the United States Government, established to ensure continuity of government in the event of a national disaster. The NPO was established by a secret executive order (National Security Decision Directive 55) signed on Sept 14, 1982 by President Ronald Reagan during the Cold War in preparation for a nuclear war, presumably with the Soviet Union.

The NPO plan was classified Top Secret, codeword Pegasus. It was also referred to as Project 908 (also known as "Nine Naught Eight"). The only oversight was by a Project Pegasus committee chaired by then-Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush. The committee included The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (or his deputy), FBI Director William H. Webster, Attorney General Edwin Meese III and other top cabinet officials. The action officer for the project was Marine Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, who then worked at the National Security Council under retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel Robert McFarlane.

It was reactivated/re-funded after 9/11 + Patriot Act and continues to this day. This is the actual real so-called deep state, shadow gov't. Their greatest purpose during peacetime is to effect policy changes, domestic & abroad by any means necessary via a cabal of Internationalists to keep the "system" running.

Those in shadow power seem to like the codeword "Pegasus" as it's been used across many mil/intel projects.

The Time Travel and Teleportation Experiments of Project Pegasus

“Project Pegasus was the classified, defense-related research and development program under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in which the US defense-technical community achieved time travel on behalf of the US government – the real Philadelphia Experiment.” – Project Pegasus Mission Statement

Regrets, I've had a few.
But then again too few to mention.
I did what I had to do.
I saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course,
Each careful step along the byway.
And more, much, much more.
I did it my way.





For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way.
Yes, it was my way.

Sonnet XVI. November

The mellow year is hasting to its close;
The little birds have almost sung their last,
Their small notes twitter in the dreary blast --
That shrill-piped harbinger of early snows:
The patient beauty of the scentless rose,
Oft with the Morn's hoar chrystal quaintly glass'd,
Hangs, a pale mourner for the summer past,
And makes a little summer where it grows:
In the chill sunbeam of the faint brief day
The dusky waters shudder as they shine,
The russet leaves obstruct the straggling way
Of oozy brooks, which no deep banks define,
And the gaunt woods, in ragged, scant array,
Wrap their old limbs with sombre ivy twine.

by Hartley Coleridge (1796 - 1849)
