October 21 (A Double)
1805 - The Battle of Trafalgar.
This is one of the greatest naval battles in world history, ending with a British victory which destroyed Napoleon's hope of invading England.
Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson was the commander of the British force, and is forever linked to the battle...Unfortunately, he was fatally wounded, but lived long enough to see the British victory.
1879 - Thomas Edison successfully tested an electric incandescent lamp with a carbonized filament at his Menlo Park, New Jersey laboratory. It stayed alight for over 13-hours.
The world of darkness was lit with this event...It's impossible to evaluate the importance of 'light,' but it is more than enough to make this one of the great events in world history.
1837 - General Thomas Jesup of the U.S. Army managed to win the Seminole Wars in the Florida Everglades by the use of deception. He invited Osceola to a peace conference, where Osceola and his cohorts were captured. Osceola died in jail shortly thereafter.
You know the old saying: "All's fair in love and WAR!!"...Truth is the Seminoles were doomed the day the white man was allowed to survive its first day in North America.
1944 - The first Japanese kamikaze attack took place near Leyte Island: WWII.
The war was going very badly for the Japanese, and they were getting desperate...As such, they resorted to desperate tactics -
tactics which accomplished little.
The importance of the Japanese using this kamikazes is they showed they wouldn't give up without a thorough ass kicking.
1971 - The Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to KGB agent Pablo Neruda.
A KGB agent should never earn any award...Unless it is a Nobel Peace Prize, of course, which can go to any degenerate. Even Barack Obama.
1992 - A report prepared for the Los Angeles Police Commission found the city was unprepared to handle the rioting which broke out the previous spring.
They were unprepared because they were unwilling to gas, mace, shoot and arrest every scumbag involved in the riot...I guarantee this solution would end almost all rioting - end and stop them from occurring in the future.
1994 - The United States and North Korea signed an agreement requiring the communist nation to halt its nuclear program and agree to inspections.
This turned out well...Thank goodness the North Koreans always keep their word.
I'm sure the Iranians will follow suit, as well.
1997 - Reversing months of strong opposition, the Clinton administration endorsed a revised Republican bill to restructure the Internal Revenue Service and shift the burden of proof from the taxpayer to the government in court-contested cases.
What a concept. This country was founded to defend the people against the government, and the burden of proof should always be on the accuser.
Good for President Clinton to do the right thing.
1998 - A radical environmental group, the Earth Liberation Front, claimed responsibility for fires which caused $12 million in damage at the nation's busiest ski resort in Vail, Colorado.
Every member of this group should have been charged and convicted...Instead they got a slap on the wrist.
We have lost our minds allowing the 'Enemies Within' to bend us over and do just about anything they want in the name of their radical causes.
