June 23, 1924: Members of the deposed Bavarian royal family gather in Munich for a parade marking the 50th anniversary of the Kriegerbund, or veterans association. "The hit of the parade" is ex-officers wearing blackface to represent the peoples of colonies Germany lost in WWI.




June 23, 1924: "The Awakening," a theatrical production by the Ku Klux Klan chapter No. 25 in Port Arthur, Texas.


Klan members assimilated tropes of the cabaret and the Ziegfeld Follies into entertainments like The Awakening, featuring high-kicking Klan chorus girls. At the same time, the "100% American" ideology of the Klan movement was commercialized by popular entertainments.


The Japanese ship that refused to die.
Admiral Bernard "Chick" Clarey has the unusual distinction of sinking the same ship twice. As executive officer of USS Amberjack (SS-219) in 1942, he helped sink the 19,000-ton ship Tonan Maru No. 2 on Oct 10th. However, the Japanese were able to raise and repair the ship. Hit again by the USS Bonefish on Feb 9, 1944, repaired and as commander of Pintado (SS-387) in 1944, Clarey sank the Tonan Maru No. 2 for the second time on Aug 22, 1942. However, after the war ended the Japanese somehow managed to raise her again, repaired and she served as a whaler during the American occupation of Japan. TONAN MARU was one of the largest merchant ships sunk (twice) by an American submarine during World War II.




June 23, 1943: Rep. (D-Kentucky) Andrew Jackson May (June 24, 1875 – Sept 6, 1959) bragged to reporters that the Japanese were setting depth charges too shallow because they didn't know how deep U.S. subs could dive. VADM Charles Lockwood said the revelation caused the Japanese to make adjustments, costing the Navy 10 subs and 800 sailors.


However, in a 1945 letter to Congressman May, Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Commander in Chief of the United States Fleet wrote: "Everyone in general appreciates the superb job you have done for your country in connection with Army legislation, and Naval officers appreciate in particular the cooperation you have given the Navy."

May was convicted by a federal jury on July 3, 1947, on charges of accepting bribes to use his position as Chairman of the Military Affairs Committee to secure munitions contracts during the Second World War. May would appeal his verdict all the way up to Supreme Court which refused to hear his case. May was forced into prison at the age of 74 and served nine months in federal prison. President Truman decided to grant May a full pardon in 1952.

Nothing has changed since...the corruption has only become much worse.

June 23, 1983: the Soviet Charlie-class nuclear submarine K-429 sank near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The sub had been in a shipyard undergoing repairs when it was ordered to participate in an exercise despite protests from the captain. With many of the regular crew members on leave, K-429 was forced to deploy with sailors unfamiliar with the sub. The incomplete maintenance combined with human error resulted in the sub becoming flooded. 16 men were lost in the incident and the captain was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Then one day, Sept 13, 1985, the K-429, now 80% restored, sank again right at the pier of the repair factory.


The incident, caused by worker negligence, mercifully claimed no victims this time. But for the Soviet Navy command it was too much. The K-429 was instantly decommissioned and turned into a training vessel. Several years later, it was scrapped and forgotten as a terrible nightmare.


The ex Korean Air Boeing 747-8B5 that is the first to become the new E-4 "Doomsday" plane is undergoing its transformation. The registration is now N747US after previously being registered HL7630.


The job of building the Air Force's next Doomsday planes goes to Sierra Nevada Corp. The Survivable Airborne Operations Center aircraft will replace the USAF’s highly specialized 747-based E-4B strategic command post jets. Cargo transport to Balloons to aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance...SNC is like the Home Depot for the military.

Why after 7 years is Snopes doing this now?


Snopes


The syndicated legacy media wants YOU to be shocked & horrified of this "new" war protocol violation!




Praise be, the American way...


America even takes our winning with us as we travel. Stay envious, Euros - Nation building, but we just parachute in a crack black ops team of HVAC guys. LOL.

France derives about 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy. A former administration in 2014, aimed to reduce nuclear share of electricity generation to 50% by 2025. This target was delayed in 2019 to 2035, before being abandoned in 2023. France is the world's largest net exporter of electricity due to its very low cost of generation. France has around 56 nuke plants and building more. So, I don't see how keeping the dorm rooms down to 72F is any problem at all.
