September 27

1940 - The Tripartite Pact: Germany, Italy and Japan signed a 10-year military and economic agreement strengthening the Axis alliance:  WWII.

The agreement is also known as the 'Three-Power Pact,' and was a direct threat to the U.S.to stay out of the war, or risk war on two fronts...The Soviets were already in the war, after invading Poland, but it was also a warning to them as well for the same reason - they feared Japan every bit as much as Germany.

"...stand by and co-operate with one another in...their prime purpose to establish and maintain a new order of things...to promote the mutual prosperity and welfare of the peoples concerned...to assist one another with all political, economic and military means when one of the three contracting powers is attacked."

They tried to sell it as an 'economic pact,' but there was no doubt it was first and foremost a military deal, aimed at global domination.


1009 - The Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem was destroyed by Caliph al-Hakim.

This church is the traditional site of Jesus' crucifixion, and was one of the holiest sites in the Christian world...Needless to say, it is one of the many reasons the Crusaders trekked across the globe to reclaim the Holy Land in the Crusades.


1066 - William, Duke of Normandy, with an army of 5,000 men, set sail from France for England to claim the English throne.

Re-read that, and think about how bold it was for William to invade and conquer a nation with 5,000 men...The Normans were tough, but they should have been slaughtered by the English.  Lucky for William, England was anything but united in the coming fight.


1830 - The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek: Choctaw Indians ceded their lands east of the Mississippi River to the U.S.

This treaty was the beginning of the removal and relocation of the American Indians.


Rule #1 of invasions: Don't let the enemy off the beach!!

The failure to recognize this fact doomed the American Indians - as has happened to most ancient civilizations throughout history.


1964 - The Warren Commission issued a report concluding Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in assassinating President Kennedy.

What a gross waste of taxpayer money...Almost as pathetic as the 9/11 Commission.


1990 - The deposed emir of Kuwait delivered an emotional address to the U.N. General Assembly denouncing the "rape, destruction and terror" inflicted upon his country by Iraq.

If American Liberals had their way, Saddam would still be in control of Kuwait.


Never forget, the same morons who complain about the second Gulf War also voted against saving Kuwait in the original Gulf War...Yet for some reason were very quiet about Obama's adventures.

1991 - President GHW Bush announced dramatic unilateral reductions in nuclear arms, including the removal and destruction of sea-based tactical nuclear weapons.

Great...Here's hoping he completely lied on this matter; and his successors followed suit.

We must always stay on the offensive when it comes to weapons development, and never shrink to the whining of our enemies (internal or external). History is filled with 'great nation's' who got "stuck on stupid"...Great nations which no longer exist.


1998 - St. Louis Cardinal Mark McGwire's record-breaking season ended with his 69th and 70th homers.

'Roids' McGwire would do himself a big favor if he came clean...America is a forgiving nation, but can only be lied to so much.
