January 22, 1924: James Ramsay MacDonald (1866-1937) became Britain’s 1st Labour Prime Minister, in a minority government, supported by the Liberals. He was in power for only 10 months. The Daily Mail professed disbelief that a group of socialist "wild men" could take charge of the British Empire. This period marked a pivotal moment as it was the first time a socialist party had come to power in the UK, challenging the traditional dominance of the Conservative and Liberal parties.

However, he made a comeback and was appointed by King George V as Labour PM between 1929 and 1931. In his second minority government in 1929, MacDonald set an historic precedent by appointing Margaret Bondfield as the first female minister. Economic crises, including the doubling of unemployment levels, persuaded him to also include the opposition leaders in a cross-party national government. However, this step lost him the support of his own party and he resigned in 1935.

Jan 22, 1946: Creation of the Central Intelligence Group, forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency. After the dissolution of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) at the end of World War II by President Harry S. Truman, who created the Central Intelligence Group under the direction of a director of central intelligence by presidential directive on January 22, 1946. The agency's creation was authorized by the National Security Act of 1947. The CIG was dissolved on Sept 18, 1947 and became the CIA.



The office diary of the President's chief military advisor Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy, records a rather unexpected event on 24 January 1946:

At lunch today in the White House, with only members of the Staff present, RAdm Sidney Souers and I were presented [by President Truman] with black cloaks, black hats, and wooden daggers, and the President read an amusing directive to us outlining some of our duties in the Central Intelligence Agency [sic], "Cloak and Dagger Group of Snoopers."

With this whimsical ceremony President Truman christened Admiral Souers as the first DCI.

The humor and symbolism of this inauguration would have been lost on many veterans of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the big intelligence and covert action agency that Truman had suddenly dismantled at the end of World War II, only four months eailier. CIG inevitably suffered (and still suffers) from comparisons with OSS. The Group began its brief existence with a phony cape and a wooden dagger. It was a bureaucratic anomaly with no independent budget, no statutory mandate, and staffers assigned from the permanent departments of the government. Nevertheless, CIG grew rapidly and soon gained a fair measure of organizational autonomy. The Truman administration invested it with the two basic missions of strategic warning and coordination of clandestine activities abroad, although interdepartmental rivalries prevented the Group from performing either mission to the fullest. Strategic warning and clandestine activities are the two basic missions of today's CIA.

January 22, 1953: Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible, based on the Salem witch trials of 1692, opened on Broadway, New York City. Written as an allegory, it drew parallels between the Salem trials and the "witch hunt" being conducted by Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Committee on Un-American Activities. The play won four 1953 Tony Awards, including Best Play.




January 22, 1970: The Boeing 747, the world's first "jumbo jet", enters commercial service for launch customer Pan American Airways with its maiden voyage carrying 324 fare-paying passengers from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to London Heathrow Airport.

The flight had been planned for the evening of January 21, but engine overheating made the original aircraft (Clipper Young America, registration N735PA) unusable. Flight delayed to the following day when Clipper Victor (registration N736PA) was used. On August 2, 1970, in its first year of service, it also became the first 747 to be hijacked.


Sadly, Clipper Victor, was involved in tragic fatal collision with a Boeing 747-206B in the Tenerife airport disaster, the deadliest accident in aviation history on March 27, 1977.

WTF is going on in America right now? Trump & the tech-bro billionaires are gonna build the Stargate in Manhattan.


If you're curious here's a copy:
Traversable Wormholes Stargates Negative Energy (Interestingly, that was first published on the DIA's FOIA Reading Room site)



Musk trying to diss Trump's AI initiative is interesting...Battle of the billionaires, the new Gold Rush is on.


Musk: ‘They don’t actually have the money’ for Trump-touted Stargate project


All the tears cried over John Bolton's security clearance getting revoked.




With a stroke of the pen, President Trump just revoked EO 11246, signed by President LBJ in 1965 which established mandatory Federal Gov Affirmative Action. The era of Afrocentric Marxism, DEI, and Black Supremacist discrimination just took a direct knockout. I guess we'll see.


President Donald J. Trump Protects Civil Rights and Merit-Based Opportunity by Ending Illegal DEI

Hard to believe a presidential executive order is warranted to eradicate this DEI nonsense. Next, get Affirmative Action out of labor and academia. Get BLM, CRT and DEI out of the classroom including the delusional woke revisionism of history. Then undo whatever Obama did at Netflix where 100% of the shows feature mandatory interracial couples for social engineering.


More nutty times... Uncle Sam and "Proclamation" appear to be ripped from a circa 1886 ad for U.S. made detergent (eliminating need for Chinese laundry workers).
