On May 31, 1889, over 2,200 people were killed after the South Fork Dam collapsed, sending a 35-foot wall of water over the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.




Tonight and tomorrow in 1921, an organized & angry mob of White folks raged through the African-American neighborhood of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma known as "Black Wall Street" — burning and looting 35 city blocks and massacring up to 300 African-Americans, dozens of whites, leaving 10,000 homeless. The death toll estimates are all over the map. Nobody really knows. How it all started was just as stupid as the crap we see today.



Many folks did not became aware of this until HBO's 2019 mini-TV series "Watchmen".

Black Wall Street Massacre: Why Watchmen HBO Opened With the Tulsa Oklahoma Riots of 1921


The prelude to the Tulsa race massacre was the racial strife flaring across the United States known as the Red Summer of 1919...100 years later the George Floyd summer of love festival. The history of these mass violent wild fire events of 1919-1921 is almost beyond belief! 2020 was romper room.

May 31, 1988: President Ronald Reagan's military aide, Lieutenant Commander Woody Lee, was photographed with the "nuclear football" in Red Square during the Moscow Summit.



Contrary to popular football lore, the "football" is attached to his wrist by a leather strap, not metal handcuff.

You can see a very brief glimpse of Lt. Cdr. Lee & the "Football" accompanying President Reagan in and around Red Square in this raw film footage taken that day, from 20:51-20:53 at far right side:





You might notice in the vid that Gorbachev was also very fond of that Masonic pyramid hand signalling (exactly like  Angela Merkel) EVERY time when on camera and so many other political elites to this very day! (Including Trump)


The photographer who took the Football shot is Joe Marquette [1937-2016]. Mr. Marquette won the Pulitzer Prize for his photography of the Clinton impeachment hearings. He's not even credited by the Getty farm of images and found the photo in Newsweek magazine's Oct 7, 1991 issue depicted on Page 17



CSPAN-Photographing the White House


Investigative journalist Ted Gup's Summer of COG started off with a bang with a Washington Post magazine cover story, "The Ultimate Congressional Hideaway" on May 31, 1992 investigative feature on the congressional bomb shelter at the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. And finished with a mushroom cloud in TIME on August 10th.

Short story:
Where I grew up deep on the Cold War grounds, the Air Force finally admitted back in the 80s that some of our private wells may be contaminated, in fact some were, so they footed the bill so to speak after public outrage to run city water lines out to rural areas in the country side. Luckily, back then long before their admission of contaminants my dad was a sorta of water chemistry expert and tested our water which resulted in some heavy metals & chemicals but extremely minutia. In our basement he had engineered & installed a complex system of water filtration. In took up a 10'x 10' space with a maze of piping, valves, going in/out of filtration contraptions.

After city water was being pumped to all rural dwellers, all private wells were verbooten including any & all wells for the farmers. Also, a little known (except to us locals) Air Force radar site dating to early 60s became a super-fund site in the 90s. It became ownership of the US Army, then years later handed back to the county, except for a tiny plot in the center that is still to this day under ownership of the US Army. Trespassing on this tiny lot is strictly forbidden and a commando squad will appear out of nowhere in black helo's. Yes, literally! Although, probably drones today as they have a drone training & certification school nearby that is conducted by private mil/intel contractors. The county to this day has still done absolutely nothing with the land, only periodically mowing the grass so passerby's see a barb wire fence with a tiny sign...KEEP OUT by order of US Army & County Regulators!!
