Happy National Coffee Day!



Donald Trump picking coffee beans circa 1967. He would later open a small coffee shop in Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market in 1971. He named his coffee shop “Starbucks”.





Sept 29, 1907: The cornerstone is laid at the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul (better known as Washington National Cathedral) in Washington, D.C. with Pres Theodore Roosevelt attending. It wasn't completed till 1990 when the final "finial" was placed in the presence of Pres George H. W. Bush. Designed in a Neo-Gothic architectural style, it stands as the second-largest church building in the United States, and the third-tallest building in Washington, D.C.



The cathedral was damaged in August 2011 during the Virginia earthquake. Finial stones on several pinnacles broke off, and several pinnacles twisted out of alignment or collapsed entirely. Some gargoyles and other carvings were damaged along with various cracks. 12 years later and restoration work is still ongoing.

Due to cancel culture nonsense, on Sept 23, 2023 the Now and Forever Windows were unveiled...replacing confederate Generals.


Sept 29, 1967: "I am not a number! I am a free man!" Patrick McGoohan in The Prisoner was aired in the UK for the first time. Somehow Canada had it first...on Sept 5, 1967. A series which is probably more relevant today than ever, it continues to spark debate. The greatest and most thought-provoking TV series ever made?

Enrico Fermi was born in Rome, Italy on September 29, 1901. On December 2, 1942, 49 scientists, led by Enrico Fermi, made history when Chicago Pile 1 (CP-1) went critical and produced the world's first self-sustaining, controlled nuclear chain reaction. Seventy years later, two of the last surviving CP-1 pioneers, Harold Agnew and Warren Nyer, recall that historic day.

Sept 29, 2007: Calder Hall, the world's first commercial nuclear power station, is demolished in a controlled explosion. Calder Hall was first connected to the grid on 27 August 1956 and officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 17 October 1956. It was the world's first nuclear power station to provide electricity on a commercial scale to a public grid. The Calder Hall design was codenamed PIPPA (Pressurised Pile Producing Power and Plutonium) by the UKAEA to denote the plant's dual commercial and military role...weapons-grade plutonium.



Boom!





Only two YF-22's exist today:
87-0700 at Air Force Flight Test Center Museum, Edwards Air Force Base, California.
87-0701 at Rome Laboratory, Rome, New York. (former SAC Air Force Base)

Word of the Day:

PATHOCRACY (n). - A system of government created by a small pathological minority that takes control over a society of normal people (from Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes, by Andrew Lobaczewski)

Pathocracy

from Greek pathos, "feeling, pain, suffering"; and kratos, "rule"

A totalitarian form of government in which absolute political power is held by a psychopathic elite, and their effect on the people is such that the entire society is ruled and motivated by purely pathological values.

A pathocracy can take many forms and can insinuate itself covertly into any seemingly just system or ideology. As such it can masquerade under the guise of a democracy or theocracy as well as more openly oppressive regimes.

Characteristics

1. suppression of individualism and creativity.
2. impoverishment of artistic values.
3. impoverishment of moral values; a social structure based on self-interest and one-upmanship, rather than altruism.
4. fanatical ideology; often a corrupted form of a valid viable ‘trojan’ ideology which is perverted into a pathological form, bearing little resemblance to the substance of the original.
5. intolerance and suspicion of anyone who is different, or who disagrees with the state.
6. centralized control.
7. widespread corruption.
8. secret activities within government, but surveillance of the general population. (In contrast, a healthy society would have transparent government processes, and respect for privacy of the individual citizen).
9. paranoid and reactionary government.
10. excessive, arbitrary, unfair and inflexible legislation; the power of decision making is reduced/removed from the citizens’ everyday lives.
11. an attitude of hypocrisy and contempt demonstrated by the actions of the ruling class, towards the ideals they claim to follow, and towards the citizens they claim to represent.
12. controlled media, dominated by propaganda.
13. extreme inequality between the richest and poorest.
14. endemic use of corrupted psychological reasoning such as paramoralisms, conversive thinking and doubletalk.
15. rule by force and/or fear of force.
16. people are considered as a ‘resource’ to be exploited (hence the term “human resources”), rather than as individuals with intrinsic human worth.
17. spiritual life is restricted to inflexible and indoctrinare schemes. Anyone attempting to go beyond these boundaries is considered a heretic or insane, and therefore dangerous.
18. arbitrary divisions in the population (class, ethnicity, creed) are inflamed into conflict with one another.
19. suppression of free speech – public debate, demonstration, protest.
20. violation of basic human rights, for example: restriction or denial of basic life necessities such as food, water, shelter; detainment without charge; torture and abuse; slave labour.

"Political Ponerology is fascinating, essential reading." -Philip Zimbardo, author of "The Lucifer Effect", (former US Navy Office of Research & the infamous Stanford prison experiment & mind control essay).
