1095 - Pope Urban II convened the Council of Clermont to plan the First Crusade.
I hope you haven't bought into the myth of the Crusades brought to us via the American media and public school system, who would have us believe the 'poor Muslims' were brutally attacked by the loony-religious, warmongering Europeans...What a joke.
One it's important to remember Islam conquered the area of the modern-Middle East from the West...For over a thousand years, the Western/Christian world extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the current borders of Russia, Persia and India, and included North Africa until they were conquered by Islam.
Also, Islam spread its reign of death and conquest not just through Asia and North Africa, but also into much of Eastern Europe, and ruled Spain for over 300 years by this time...Thankfully, Western Europe north of Spain was saved by the Franks (Charles Martel and Charlemagne) and the Habsburg Empire halted the Muslims in Central Europe.
The Europeans were responding to never-ending attacks and invasions, and it's a good thing they did because the Muslim world was advancing almost unchecked until the Crusaders took the fight back to them.
Ultimately, neither side was able to destroy the other, but the Crusades and Spanish Reconquista effectively limited the Muslim Horde to the Middle East, North Africa and the far reaches of Eastern Europe...A blessing those of us who live in the modern Western world should always be thankful for.
1307 - William Tell shot an apple off his son's head? Did it happen? No one knows for sure. The origin of the story is unknown, but is of either Swiss, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic or Persian origin.
If he did or didn’t is of no importance, and the event is of even less importance...But I do love the mythology of such events.
What's interesting is the origin of the story being of far north European (Germanic) or Persian origin.
1803 - The Battle of Vertieres: The Haitian 'air force' defeated a French invasion force.
The Haitian air force was the main combatant the French had to deal with, and was decimated by...What was the Haitian air force? Mosquitoes which spread malaria to the French troops, making them sick or killing them as fast as they arrived.
1903 - The Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty gave the U.S. exclusive canal rights in Panama.
And then President Dumb Ass (Carter) and the Democrat Congress decided we should give it back to the Panamanians...Who are in the process of selling it to the Chinese.
Reason #3,851 never to trust Democrats with National Security issues.
1916 - General Douglas Haig finally called off the first Battle of the Somme in Europe after five months of futile battle which included the first use of tanks in battle. The Allied advance of just 125 square miles claimed 420,000 British and 195,000 French casualties. German losses were over 650,000: WWI.
The Somme was one of the great battles of WWI, and also one of the most useless...The Allies began the assault with the hope of keeping German troops from reaching the Battle of Verdun, but as it turned out the Battle of the Somme was more destructive than Verdun.
1936 - Germany and Italy recognized the Spanish government of Francisco Franco.
Of course they did...And Hitler took full advantage of the Spanish Civil War to train his troops and air force for his upcoming plans.
1978 - Jim Jones led 914 of his followers to their deaths at Jonestown, Guyana, by drinking a cyanide-laced fruit drink. Cult members who refused to swallow the drink were shot.
How sad, and how pathetic...I will never understand how people can be corralled into these insane asylums.
1988 - President Reagan signed major legislation creating a cabinet-level drug czar and providing the death penalty for drug traffickers who kill.
Executing 'drug traffickers who kill' is a great idea...But why not others who kill? And it seems to me that drug traffickers kill people’s health and minds even if they don’t take their actual life.
So, all drug traffickers should be executed...If for no other reason than for contributing to the destruction of American society.
1993 - The U.S. House of Representatives joined the Senate in approving legislation aimed at protecting abortion facilities, staff and patients.
No one should be threatened or killed...But it should be noted they did nothing to protect the most innocent and defenseless of all at an abortion clinic: UNBORN BABIES!!!
1996 - One time CIA station chief Harold J. Nicholson was charged with selling top secrets to the Russians.
This POS was sentenced to 23-years in prison...WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT!!!! All treasonous, traitorous Americans should be executed. No deals, no mercy.
2003 - The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled the right to same sex marriage was guaranteed by the state constitution.
Gotta love the Judicial Super-Legislators making stuff up as they go...How about letting the people of Massachusetts put the issue to a vote? Nah! Because we all know the perverse idea would go down in flame(r)s.
2004 - The U.N. Security Council held a two-day session in Nairobi. This was the first time it had convened outside of New York headquarters.
Too bad they weren't looking for a new home. The U.N. would be much better off in Nairobi, or Denmark, or Iran, or Korea, or...(fill in the blank with any non-American nation).
2005 - Conservative leader Angela Merkel took a last step toward becoming Germany's first female chancellor when she and other party officials signed a hard-won agreement to form a left-right coalition government.
Make no mistake, neither Merkel nor her party are Conservatives in the American sense, but they are much more so than their Lefty coalition partners.
