Whoa! Lots of theater today. What are we being distracted from this time?





May 30, 1381: The English Peasants’ Revolt began (also named Wat Tyler's Rebellion or the Great Rising). It grew out of a gradual build up of socio-economic tensions, consequences of the Black Death in the 1340s, but the final trigger was the attempt to collect unpaid poll taxes in Brentwood. The revolt then spread across the south-east region and lasted till November which resulted in:

Sacking of Tower of London and mass execution of royal officials
Charters granted to rebel towns
Eventual suppression of revolt and execution of rebel leaders.




May 30, 1431: Joan of Arc (aged 19), was burned at the stake in Rouen, France, for heresy by an English-dominated French tribunal. She became a French folk hero and martyr. The Roman Catholic Church remembers this day as the celebration of Saint Joan of Arc. 500 years later, that burning event led to a well-imagined collaborationist propaganda poster, following the bombing raid of Rouen by the Royal Air Force in April 1944.




May 30, 1631: Gazette de France, the first French weekly magazine, was published for the first time. It was founded by Théophraste Renaudot (French physician, philanthropist, journalist) and the paper became the mouthpiece of a royalist faction known as the Legitimists. It ceased publication in 1915.




Circa 1969: TRUMP CINEMA in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.   

Part of Fred Trump's "Trump Village", was a small 25-seat theater which closed in 1977, due the nature if its XXX programming. When the theater first opened it showed movies for kids to mainstream Hollywood releases. These type of XXX theaters were a dime a dozen in the NYC boroughs of the early-mid 70s era.


The Trump Cinema was opened in late 1968 with Zeiss Ikon 16mm projectors as a prototype for its owner, Automated Theatres of America. They, like Jerry Lewis, sold "turn key" theatre packages. The main difference between them and Jerry Lewis theatres is that ATA franchises were all equipped with Zeiss Ikon 16mm projectors and NOT 35mm. Trump theater began screening 16mm prints until it was eventually equipped for 35mm. By mid 70's, the tiny theater was unable to make a profit so they switched to adult only theater.

The location was replaced with a Radio Shack up until January 2016. The building was demolished with the remainder of the shopping center in late-2016-early-2017.


May 30, 1977: Roy Neary and several other people from Muncie, Indiana witness UFOs flying in the sky. Reported in the newspaper the next day.




May 30, 1989: The Rise and Fall of the Goddess of Democracy. The 33-foot high "Goddess of Democracy" statue was unveiled in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China by student demonstrators. Constructed out of foam and papier-mache, it was destroyed and smashed to bits on June 4, 1989, by Chinese soldiers clearing protesters from Tiananmen Square.

San Francisco quietly removes 'Appeal to Heaven' flag

The memory hole has been working overtime during this Administration. “A dead thing goes with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.” - GK Chesterton

San Francisco is hopelessly dead and without a moral compass. Comply, or risk being ostracized. They throw history away to comply with a radical dogma. They have to rewrite history, to custom fit the narrative.

I think the fact that it flew above San Francisco city hall until a few days ago contradicts the description of it as "controversial".
