August 10, 1842: The British parliament passed the Mines and Collieries Act, which forbade women and girls of any age to work underground and introduced a minimum age of ten for boys employed in underground work. Many children, as young as 6, had previously worked shifts of up to 12 hours. The Act received Royal assent in June 1843.




August 10, 1897: German chemist, Felix Hoffmann, while working for Bayer recorded in his laboratory notebook that he had finally found a better method of producing acetylsalicylic acid in a purer and more stable form. It became the popular painkiller, Aspirin. He also discovered Heroin at same time.

Today there is debate as to whether this account is complete. Some evidence has surfaced that indicates that Arthur Eichengrün, another Bayer employee, played a significant role in the development of aspirin. It has been suggested that he was left out of the story as it has been told since the 1930s because he was Jewish.

Bayer applied for a German patent but was rejected: as it turned out, acetylsalicylic acid had been synthesized earlier, first by a French chemist and later by a German chemist, although unlike Hoffmann they had been unable to produce it in a pure, stable form. Regardless, the Bayer Company, recognizing that it had a potential blockbuster in aspirin, aggressively marketed the drug worldwide. In the United States, Bayer was able to obtain a patent, giving the company the monopoly on manufacturing the drug from 1900 to 1917.

When Bayer’s American plants were sold in 1919 as part of the reparations exacted from Germany after World War I, Sterling Products of Wheeling, West Virginia, was willing to invest the then unheard-of sum of $3 million for Bayer’s U.S. drug properties. But Sterling was unable to protect the trademark status of aspirin. It thus became a staple of the over-the-counter market in the United States and elsewhere.

More than 100 years after its invention, it continues to be a popular drug, with uses extending far beyond those envisaged by its original creators. SmithKline Beecham eventually purchased Sterling’s worldwide over-the-counter pharmaceutical business and, in turn, sold the U.S. portion, including aspirin, to Bayer for a sum of $1 billion.

We all know Bayer has had 100+ years of dark history.



Joseph Ward Moore (August 10, 1903 – January 29, 1978) was an American science fiction writer. Perhaps best known for his alternate history novel "Bring the Jubilee" (1953) that tells of a world in which the South won the American Civil War, leaving the North in ruins. Moore also wrote two of the most notable stories describing nuclear holocaust and its consequences, "Lot" (1953) and "Lot's Daughter" (1954), featuring a great motorized exodus from a doomed Los Angeles, seen through biblical parallelism as the city of Sodom. The hero jettisons his irredeemably suburban wife and his sons and goes on to make a new and incestuous life with his daughter in the mountains. The ironies attached to his monstrous survivalism are savage. The stories were used as an unaccredited basis for the film Panic in Year Zero! (1962), losing much of their power in the cleaning-up process.

August 10, 1932: The original acting dog, Rin Tin Tin, died. Born Sept 10, 1918 was a male German Shepherd born in Flirey, France, who became an international star in motion pictures. He was rescued from a World War I battlefield by an American soldier, Lee Duncan, who nicknamed him "Rinty". Duncan trained Rin Tin Tin and obtained silent film work for the dog. Rin Tin Tin was an immediate box-office success and went on to appear in 27 Hollywood films, gaining worldwide fame. Rin Tin Tin was responsible for greatly increasing the popularity of German Shepherd dogs as family pets.


Lee Duncan groomed Rin Tin Tin IV for the 1950s television series The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, however, the dog failed the screening test and was replaced with Flame Jr. who appeared in 160 episodes of The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin (1954-1959). The viewers were led to believe this was the actual dog named Rin Tin Tin.


August 9-10, 1969: the Tate-LaBianca murders.

It’s 2024 and UK police are using social media to casually remind the king’s royal subjects that carrying a knife for self-protection is illegal. Are swords illegal? What about spears? How about spoons? Death by spoon would be gory brutal. Soon, knives will be illegal in restaurants too. Enjoy your steak dinner, ya filthy peasants. Some of this (a lot of this?) has got to be a test to see how far they can push the people. BYOK to restaurant? Uh, you better think again citizen before leaving your house! It's kinda like all the lunacy restrictions during Covid-apocalypse. I guess this is now phase II or III. One thing all of the big NATO countries have in common is it sure seems like they have declared war on their citizens. Nudging everyone toward that cliff edge. Submit or suffer or die.







The more 'onions' you know and 'droids' are running government here and abroad. Unfortunately, they appear very durable, but they're more like a house of cards.
