THIS DAY IN HISTORY

January 19

570 (assumed date) - Mohammad, founder of Islam, was born into the Quraysh tribe in Makkah. His birthday is observed on the 12th day of Rabi ul’Awwal, the 3rd month of the lunar calendar, in a festival known as Mawlid-al-Nabi.

Mohammad brought hell to the Bedouin people of the Middle East, and his successors spread this hell throughout North Africa, most of South and Southwest Asia, Spain and Southeastern Europe...It should be noted, this 'Religion of Peace' has never been about peace, and from the very beginning has been about conquest and subjugation - which should be evident in the meaning of the word Islam:  "submission."

That said, Mohammad will go down as one of the most important people in the history of the world. Right there with Christ, Alexander, Caesar, Augustus, etc...He may end up being the most important.

1523 - In Switzerland, Ulrich Zwingli published his 67 Articles, the first manifesto of the Zurich Reformation attacking the authority of the Pope.

Zwingli was a contemporary of Luther and Calvin, and a major player in the Protestant Reformation.


1917 - The Zimmermann Note.  A coded message sent to Germany’s minister in Mexico by German Foreign secretary Arthur Zimmermann, proposing an alliance between Germany and Mexico in the event war broke out between the U.S. and Germany. Intercepted by British naval intelligence, the note proposed, among other things, "We shall give generous financial support, and it is understood that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory in New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona." The message was forwarded by the British to the U.S. State Department:  WWII.

I'm not quite sure why Germany thought Mexico would be a strong or reliable ally, but this note blew up in their face politically.

President Wilson wanted very little to do with the 'European squabble,' but to a certain extent his hand was forced by the belligerence of the Germans themselves. As far as Mexico goes, they had another plan to reclaim the areas listed in the 'Note' - They'd just flood the areas with people and reconquer them right under our noses, through the process of creating a demographic shift in the Southwest U.S.


1920 - The U.S. Senate rejected American membership in the League of Nations.

Why couldn't we have been so lucky in 1945? We should have answered the U.N. in the same fashion we did the League of Nations...With a huge 'HELL NO!!'


1922 - A geological survey indicated America's oil supply would be depleted in 20-years.

The Enviro-Idiots are nothing new.  They've been running around, stark mad, for decades...I often wonder what their real goal is, because they can’t possibly be this stupid.


If anything, it's pretty likely if we drill anywhere dinosaurs or sea life lived (which is everywhere) we'd probably eventually strike oil - or some other useful natural resource.

1974 - UCLA's men's basketball winning streak was ended by Notre Dame.

88 consecutive wins in a major men's sport - at any level - is insane!  But these UCLA teams were insanely good.

1977 - President Gerald Ford pardoned Tokyo Rose (Iva Toguri D'Aquino)

WHY?  Why wasn't this traitorous piece of garbage hung?  There was no reason to save her, and the fact she didn't die at the hands of an American executioner is a disgrace.
