June 22, 1911: The Coronation of George V and Queen Mary, as king and queen of the United Kingdom & Ireland, the British Dominions, and as Emperor and Empress of India, took place at Westminster Abbey, London.




June 22, 1941: Three million German troops invaded Russia, launching Operation Barbarossa. Mobile killing units began the mass murder of Soviet Jews. German military policies led to the deaths of millions of Soviet POWs and civilians. It was the largest land offensive in human history, with over 10 million combatants taking part lasting 6 months, 2 weeks and 2 days. The operation, code-named after Frederick Barbarossa ("red beard"), a 12th-century Holy Roman emperor and German king, put into action Nazi Germany's ideological goal of conquering the western Soviet Union to repopulate it with Germans. It proved to be Hitler’s biggest military mistake.



The German map is to be expected. You show a German a map of the Ukraine, and they have flashbacks to Operation Barbarossa and start fantasizing about how to invade it. LOL. This is why Putin's codename in German is "Einkesselungmeister" (containment master).

June 22, 1948: 1,027 Passengers disembarked from HMT Empire Windrush, at Tilbury Dock, London, after a voyage from Jamaica. Of these, 802 came from the Caribbean. The majority were West Indian immigrants seeking a new life in Britain. They were known as the "Windrush Generation".

HMT Empire Windrush, originally MV Monte Rosa, was a passenger liner and cruise ship launched in Germany in 1930. She was owned and operated by the German shipping line Hamburg Süd in the 1930s under the name Monte Rosa. During World War II she was operated by the German navy as a troopship. At the end of the war, she was seized by the British Government as a prize of war and renamed to Empire Windrush. In British service, she continued to be used as a troopship until March 1954, when the vessel caught fire and sank in the Mediterranean Sea with the loss of four crewmen. HMT stands for "His Majesty's Transport" and MV for "Motor Vessel".

The Windrush scandal was a British political scandal that began in 2018 concerning people who were wrongly detained, denied legal rights, threatened with deportation, and in at least 83 cases wrongly deported from the UK by the Home Office. Many of those affected had been born British subjects and had arrived in the UK before 1973, particularly from Caribbean countries, as members of the "Windrush generation".

Genome-wide research of Afro-Caribbean people have shown that the grouping, on average, have 77.4% African, 15.9% European, and 6.7% Asian DNA. This 2010 study represented African Caribbeans living within the Caribbean...

Within the United Kingdom, men and women of African Caribbean origin or ancestry were also found to have around 13 percent of their DNA from sources other than Africa. In the research, only volunteers who had all four grandparents of Afro-Caribbean origin were sampled...

June 22, 1963: the U.S. Navy launched USS Tecumseh (SSBN 628) "United for Freedom", USS Flasher (SSN 613) "Best in the West", USS Daniel Boone (SSBN 629) "New Trails to Blaze", and USS John C. Calhoun (SSBN 630) "For Peace, Ready" as part of the accelerated nuclear submarine construction program.




June 22, 1967: The drug possession trial of Rolling Stone members, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, began in London. 7 days later, the judge sentenced Jagger to 3 months and Richards to 1 year in jail. In August 1967, these sentences were quashed by the court of appeal. On the right is Allen Klein, the shady operator as the ruthless money manager who became one of the most powerful individuals in the music industry during his era. He also managed the Beatles and many other bands.



In June 2015, American journalist Fred Goodman published a biography of Klein, Allen Klein: The Man Who Bailed Out the Beatles, Made the Stones, and Transformed Rock & Roll.

June 22, 1998: That time a fishing boat disabled a North Korean submarine. The Sokcho submarine incident. Fishermen spotted a manned North Korean submarine tangled in nets in South Korean waters. South Korean Navy ships placed the disabled sub under tow at which point it sank after possibly being scuttled by the crew. When a salvage team was able to recover the sub, it was discovered that the crew of five had been executed by officers who then committed suicide. Items found in the sub also indictated that the sub was carrying members of North Korean special forces who had recently infiltrated the South Korean mainland.


Rocketman is always in the media for his missile launches, but what is seldom reported on is his massive & growing submarine fleet. Never under estimate your enemy, just sayin.

Unrep for ice cream!


Vid clip from the Captain of USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. They're roughly 100 Miles off the coast of Northern-Central Israel so lots of ice cream will make the crew happy. They will be relieved by the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group in next few weeks and returning home to Norfolk. July is shaping up to be a very hot zone month in the Med, assuming Israel is going to lay siege on Lebanon.
