Bits of History

Probably not important ...

but things you may have missed.

1) The origin of the Olympic torch symbol.

 Using a torch in the Olympics was Adolph Hitler's idea.

Quite naturally, America uses the torch symbol as well.

Footnote 1 Footnote 2

2) Support for Obama!

 Zbigniew Brzezinski supports Obama for
President.

So who exactly is Zbigniew Brzezinski,

and what are his politics?

Zbigniew Brzezinski was National Security Advisor to the Carter Administration.

"Golly, I hope he's not a communist!"

Let's read an excerpt from Brzezinski's own book, and find out for ourselves:

Ideological Universalism

That is why Marxism represents a further vital and

creative stage in the maturing of man's universal vision.
Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active
man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over
belief: it stresses man's capacity to shape his material
destiny---finite and defined as man's only reality---and it
postulates the absolute capacity of man to truly understand
his reality as a point of departure for his active endeavors to
shape it. To a greater extent than any previous mode of
political thinking, Marxism puts a premium on the systematic
and rigorous examination of material reality and on guides to
action derived from that examination.

3) IBM: The Rest of the Story

 Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
Footnote 1 CEO, IBM Corporation
(1920s - 1950s)

A little IBM history ...

 IBM had a very rich history of working
with the Nazis, helping to computerize
concentration camps for Adolf Hitler.

Mankind barely noticed when the concept of massively organized

information quietly emerged to become a means of social control, a
weapon of war, and a roadmap for group destruction. The unique
igniting event was the most fateful day of the last century, January
30, 1933, the day Adolf Hitler came to power. Hitler and his hatred
of the Jews was the ironic driving force behind this intellectual
turning point. But his quest was greatly enhanced and energized by
the ingenuity and craving for profit of a single American company
and its legendary, autocratic chairman. That company was
International Business Machines, and its chairman was Thomas J.
Watson.

England to kill Americans.

I wonder why the Pope picked Hitler's

 birthday?! HMMMM.....

10) Paintings by the famous Picasso.

From the moment that art ceases to be food that feeds the best minds, the artist can use his
talents to perform all the tricks of the intellectual charlatan. Most people can today no longer
expect to receive consolation and exaltation from art. The 'refined,' the rich, the professional
'do-nothings', the distillers of quintessence desire only the peculiar, the sensational, the
eccentric, the scandalous in today's art.

I myself, since the advent of Cubism, have fed these fellows what they wanted and satisfied
these critics with all the ridiculous ideas that have passed through my mind. The less they
understood them, the more they admired me. Through amusing myself with all these absurd
farces, I became celebrated, and very rapidly. For a painter, celebrity means sales and
consequent affluence. Today, as you know, I am celebrated, I am rich.

But when I am alone, I do not have the effrontery to consider myself an artist at all, not in the
grand old meaning of the word: Giotto, Titian, Rembrandt, Goya were great painters. I am only
a public clown - a mountebank. I have understood my time and have exploited the imbecility,
the vanity, the greed of my contemporaries. It is a bitter confession, this confession of mine,
more painful than it may seem. But at least and at last it does have the merit of being honest.

Pablo Picasso, 1952

George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush (below, center) was an

official at the bank.

Of course, eagles only have two wings ... left wing and right wing.
But both wings are controlled by the ...

That's the way politics in America works,

Everything is under control."

Who decided how wide railroad tracks should be?

2000 Year Old Measurement

Be sure to read the final paragraph, but your understanding of it will depend on the earlier
part of the content. This is amazing and very funny. . . .

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an
exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them
 in England, and English expatriates built the US railroads.

Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same
people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. Why did 'they'
use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and
tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.

Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any
other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in
England , because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.

So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in
Europe (and England ) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since. And the ruts
in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match
for fear of destroying their wagon
wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of
wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is
derived from the original
specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever.

So the next time you are handed a Specification/ Procedure/ Process and wonder 'What
horse's ass came up with it?' you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were
made just wide enough to
accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' asses.) Now, the twist to the
story:

When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets
attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The
SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah The engineers who designed the SRBs
would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train
from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through
a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly
wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as
two horses' behinds. So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the
world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago
by the width of a horse's ass.

Below, you see cattle being branded.

The word "chattel" sounds remarkably similar to "cattle." That is no coincidence -- here is the
definition:

This is important because today, people are now considered "chattel / human cattle" as
well.

26) On April 20, 2005, Jordan was on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. Near the end of
the interview, Jordan's phone was shut off by the telephone company. Immediately after the
phone went dead, Jordan heard verbal threats to his work and his person. Fearing that his
computer might be at risk, he immediately shut the computer down and unplugged it from the
wall power outlet. Two days later, when Jordan next booted up the computer, this picture
appeared on the screen. How it got there and where it came from, remains a mystery.
