NOVEMBER 22
1963 – No you certainly can’t. Those were the last words President John F. Kennedy ever spoke, responding to first lady of Texas Nellie Connally, when she remarked to him, Mr. President, you can’t say Dallas doesn’t love you. No you can’t. Well, maybe except for the one guy, maybe two guys or more, firing bullets at his head. On November 22 1963, JFK and Texas Governor John Connolly rode a 10-mile motorcade through downtown Dallas, Jackie kennedy typically go on these excursions, but this day she did. And when her husband got shot the Conallys heard her saying They’ve killed my husband. I have a piece of his brain in my hand. The story would go down like this, according to the Warren Commission, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he shot the president. Although it was hard to get any more information out of him, since Oswald was soon killed by jack Ruby, who also acted alone and out of grief for the president’s life. Riiiiiight.
As you probably know I love a god conspiracy. Sometimes I’ts hard for me to go a whole day without a good conspiracy. Often I find them hilarious. Not this one. This one just has bad written all over it. The Warren Commission report is not taken seriously by a remarkable 70-80% of Americans according to Gallup. I’m not saying that Fidel Castro, Lyndon Johnson, the KGB,m the CIA, the Mafia, and Magneto from the Xmen got together in a basement and planned out the hit on the president. I’m not saying that at all. Just saying the whole thing stinks to high heaven. NY Times best selling author Vincent Bugliosi estimates the total number of assassins behind Kennedy’s death include 42 different groups, 92 assassins, and 214 others in on it. Then when the Rolling Sones sang sympathy for the devil and shouted out, who killed the Kennedy’s? I realized after all, it you was you and me, babe. Who would’ve seen that coming.
1910 – The Jekyll Island Club meeting begins,
…which would ultimately create the Federal Reserve. High schoolers, I know the Fed is boring, but the reason why you should know about it is because it quite possibly may be the biggest scam you will ever encounter. It’s the reason we even have a Libertarian party in America. But just because Ron Paul wants to End the Fed, that’s not necessarily a great idea. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be enough to fix our money supply, according to many real economists. The entire concept of fractional reserve lending by anybody must be outlawed The Federal Reserve is neither Federal, since it’s not controlled by Congress, and it’s not really a Reserve of anything except IOUs and other worthless certificates.
It’s a debt-based system, which means the money in your wallet is not yours, you are borrowing it, with interest, from a private bank. It’s a joke that’s been going on since 1913, and that’s why you need to know this because we are the butts of the joke. History has shown that the best money systems throughout mankind have been controlled debt-free by a governing body chosen by the people. But every time, greed sooner or later gets in the way, doesn’t care about Republicans or Democrats or if you’re a capitalist, communist, socialist, whatever. Greed will take over the system. It goes well beyond the scope of the Jacky Island Club, or First Name Club as it was also called that I want to talk about. I’ll call them by their last names since you’ll probably recognize most of them: Vanderbilt, Goodyear, Pulitzer, Macy, Astor, Marshall Field, and of course, Morgan.
It was on this day in 1910 they all boarded a train across the Hudson River through Hoboken, then to take a railcar to Georgia arranged by Senator Nelson Aldrich, grandfather of future Gerald Ford Vice President, , then a boat to the famous luxurious Jekyll Island.
1896 – George Washington Gale Ferris dies. He made a huge wheel that people got to ride on at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. There was an engineering competition for the fair to surpass Paris’s Eiffel Tower, or to Out Eiffel Eiffel. The Ferris Wheel won and carried about 2.5 million people until it was demolished in 1906.
1910 – The Scottish may have invented the game of golf, but it took an American to perfect the club. Arthur Knight did just that. He made them out of steel in 1909.
1927 – Carl Eliason patents the first snowmobile. Why? Because he’s from Wisconsin and it’s called survival. 1809 – Peregrine Williamson of Baltimore patents a steel pen.
1986 – Mike Tyson becomes the youngest heavyweight champion ever. He was 20, his opponent Trevor Berbick was 33. Berbick thought he could take Tyson’s famous hydrogen bomb punches, and realized early in the second he could not. Turned out later in life the two men had more in common than originally thought. After they lost their titles they would both spend time in prison for rape.
1981 – Chargers beat the Raiders 55-21. Dan Fouts threw 6 TD’s, 5 of them to Kelen Winslow. Like a boss!
