August 3, 1936: the GOAT of American Olympians, James Cleveland "Jesse" Owens won the 100 metres at the Berlin Olympics. It was the first of 4 Gold Medals he won at the Berlin Games. He was credited with "single-handedly crushing Hitler’s myth of Aryan supremacy." The 100-meter sprint, the long jump, the 200-meter sprint, and the 4 x 100-meter relay.


He had already achieved celebrity as an Ohio State U track star when these photos were taken in 1935, but due to the dumb amateurism rules of the time had to eke out a living in a series of odd jobs - elevator operator, Ohio state capitol page, and as you can see here, a pump  jockey at a Columbus gas station.


The car he's filling is a 1933-34 Hupmobile Model K coupe. Hupmobile was one of the first cars to make around the world tour, driven 41,000 miles from 1910 to 1912. In 1910 Hupp built one of the world's first electric car.

Oddly enough, Jesse Owens was already receiving a hero's welcome 2 years before working as a gas station attendant: in photo #1, surrounded by admirers in Cleveland after setting world records in the 100 yard dash and long jump at the 1933 National High School Championships in Chicago. His ride: a 1933 Lincoln KA.

As a junior at Cleveland's East Tech High, he had just missed making the 1932 Olympic team; after his immortal, Hitler-enraging triumphs at Berlin in 1936, he got another welcome in NYC with ticker tape in a 1929 Cadillac phaeton (photo #2)...



Owens did continue some auto-related work post-Olympics. In 1942 he was hired by Ford Motor Co as personnel direct for African-American workers; shown with fellow Ford exec Willis Ward, a former football and track star at bitter OSU's rival Michigan.



In 1965, he teamed up with Arco petroleum to create the Jesse Owens Arco Games for kids, and later in life returned to Ford as a spokesman and member of the Lincoln-Mercury Sports Panel; he's shown here with a 1969 Mercury Montego MX.

Incidentally, Jesse Owens wasn't the only Olympian to pump gas. The great Hawaiian surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku grabbed gold medals at the 1912 and 1920 Olympics, and at age 34, a silver at the 1924 games. After that he hung 'em up and opened his own Union 76 station in Honolulu where he sometimes manned the gas pump.




August 3, 1963: The Beatles performed at Liverpool's Cavern Club for the final time. A power cut plunged the Cavern into temporary darkness, so Lennon and McCartney performed an acoustic version of When I'm Sixty-Four!

August 3, 1963: Dr Stephen Ward (aged 50), was found dead in his London home. He was awaiting the verdict in his trial for “living off immoral earnings” gained from then 19 year-old Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies, who both lived with him as lodgers. Keeler was also involved with Soviet naval attaché, Yevgeny Ivanov. All were part of the "Profumo Scandal." Years after the Profumo Affair, Marilyn Foreman (21 October 1944 – 18 December 2014), better known as Mandy Rice-Davies, was a Welsh model and showgirl who formed an unlikely friendship with Margaret Thatcher, the two often going on holiday together. Well, she would, wouldn’t she?



The "Celebrities' Nightmares" article in MAD #84 (1964) features President John F. Kennedy in terror of Keeler settling in Washington, DC, and attracted to Kennedy's Cabinet.

August 3, 1977: CIA Director Stansfield Turner's Testimony. MKULTRA Subproject 54, was the Navy's top secret "Perfect Concussion" program, which was supposed to use sub-aural frequency blasts to erase memory. However, the program was supposedly never carried out.



CIA Director Stansfield Turner's Testimony on Project MKULTRA

Any bets it was 'perfected' and reduced to a portable microwave device...and the cause of Havana Syndrome or as the Pentagon renamed it "AHI" (Anomalous Health Incidents).

Or maybe it's being used on the population making everyone go crazy. It seems as if almost everyone has completely forgotten everything that has happened over the years. I mean we are like a species with amnesia. Only now the ONR or CIA or some unknown alphabet group in white lab coats have perfected a frequency device. It's as if most brains are wiped clean nightly and filled with the official dreamscape propaganda narrative.

Stansfield Turner (December 1, 1923 – January 18, 2018) was an admiral in the United States Navy who served as President of the Naval War College (1972–1974), commander of the United States Second Fleet (1974–1975), Supreme Allied Commander NATO Southern Europe (1975–1977), and was Director of Central Intelligence (1977–1981) under the Carter administration. A graduate of Exeter College, Oxford (Rhodes Scholar) and the United States Naval Academy, Turner served for more than 30 years in the Navy, commanding warships, a carrier group, and NATO's military forces in southern Europe, among other commands.
