18th August 1933: Nazis reveal the Volksempfänger, a low-cost radio receiver, to the public
The development of the Volksempfänger, which translates as ‘people's receiver,’ was initiated by Joseph Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi regime. His goal was to make radio technology accessible to the general population, so that it could be used as a means of disseminating Nazi propaganda.
The Volksempfänger was designed by engineer Otto Griessing, and his receiver was chosen over those developed by the established electronics firms Blaupunkt and Telefunken. Known as the VE 301, the first model was introduced to the public at the 10th Berlin Radio Show. The name ‘VE 301’ was symbolic as it referenced January 30, 1933, the date Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germa...

The Indian National Congress, led by figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, advocated for a united, secular India. In contrast, the All-India Muslim League, under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, pushed for a separate Musli...

Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl aimed to test his theory that early South American civilizations could have made long sea voyages and reached the islands of the Pacific. He and his team studied ancient rafts depicted in pre-Columbian Inca culture to construct a raft built from balsa wood and other indigenous materials, which he named Kon-Tiki, another name for the Inca sun god, Viracocha.

23rd July 1952: Egyptian Revolution begins, overthrowing King Farouk I and ending British influence
Просмотров 53021 день назад
The roots of the revolution can be traced back to widespread discontent with the monarchy, fuelled by economic instability and social inequalities. Egypt’s defeat in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War further discredited King Farouk and heightened nationalist sentiments among the Egyptian people. In response the revolutionary Free Officers movement, formed in the aftermath of this war, sought to restore...

Queen Victoria had married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1840. As a result their eldest son, King Edward VII, and his successor, George V, inherited the German ducal titles. While this was not a problem at first, the outbreak of World War I in 1914 saw Britain go to war against Germany. As anti-German sentiment began to rise among the British public, the royal family’s German connec...

". . . in America, we have achieved the Orwellian prediction - enslaved, the people have been programmed to love their bondage and are left to clutch only mirage-like images of freedom, its fables and fictions. The new slaves are linked together by vast electronic chains of television that imprison not their bodies but their minds. Their desires are programmed, their tastes manipulated, their values set for them." - Gerry Spence, From Freedom to Slavery
Brutal killer he was
Al momento de la captura dice..no disparen soy el che Guevara y valgo más vivo que muerto...aparte de sucio asesino fue un traidor y cobarde..trato de entregar a sus compañeros de lucha..a cambio de su vida.
Abrio desmesuradamente los ojos y apretó fuerte los dientes..no es lo mismo fusilar y ver morir que cuando te toca a ti 😬
Yeah
Just Google "The Match Maker." The story is on ESPN and confirms Riggs set up both matches, and told the mob about it. He said he would win the first match against Court, and lose to King. Riggs owed the mob $100,000 and did these to settle his debts. It's all in black and white.
Another magnificent achievement by the glorious White Male. The White Male - truly a gift to all mankind.

Why is it always the alpabetic order "Austrians and Russians" when people describe Napoleons opponents at Austerlitz? For every Austrian at Austerlitz there were several Russians. "Russians and Austrians", or simply "Russians" would be more consistent with the historical facts and custom. After all, the Dutch and even the Prussians that fought at Waterloo remain often enough unmentioned.

This is fantasy sick lies. The Havaara agreement clearly states Jews signed a deal with Nazis to move to Palestine. The camps turned into prisoner of war camps and then Germany was completely destroyed by carpet bombings, which wiped out railways so NO food could travel. You saw starved people after not eating for a week right??? That the time between bombings and Patton reaching the first camp.... How stupid and gullible can you be???
My Grandpa was somewhere in that crowd of onlookers that day, he was an attorney and his offices were in downtown Chicago, i believe on LaSalle Street. He walked over from wherever the office was, and he remembered the crowd out front.

Nice video, expplains why the Romanian car comapny Dacia is called Dacia
Indeed! And uses the original pronunciation ('cia' being 'cha' - hence Da-cha) rather than Day-see-a which is what I hear a lot of people use.
When I was little I thought that the 1972 image of the Earth was America, but now I understand that it was Africa when I learned about the shape of the continents.
This 1972 photograph of Earth is used in many cartoons and rarely in movies.

I was born in 1946. I recall reading their copy of Heyerdahl's "Kon Tiki", whilst I was still a young boy of maybe seven or eight. The raft was built of logs of balsa, lashed together using twine, which was all that would have been available to the South-American native tribes at that time. The incessant motion of the raft in the sea caused the lashings to cut into the soft balsa, and I recall reading of the crew's repeated efforts to tighten the raft bindings, which progressively became looser as their journey went on.
Same. I was born in 1949 and recall leafing through my parents copy of the Thor Heyerdahl Kon Tiki book, looking at the photographs of huge waves behind the raft and life on board. A great story.
Aku Aku is great read!
Thank you
Looks like if it was a so big capture of a small group of CIA agents. But in fact was the "Condor Plan" since the 1960's a very big plan in the whole continent , fake goverments following instructions from the USA goverment. Most of them with military goverments : argentina,brasil,ecuador,peru,uruguay, bolivia paraguay,chile,colombia,dominican republic,haiti,nicaragua,el salvador,guatemala,jamaica,also México with a "democratic" goverment, kill hundreds of "comunist people".
Yo cuando niño tenía otra visión de este desgraciado, pero después de ver la verdadera historia de sus fechorías, da cuenta que fue utilizado por Fidel Castro que en esa mal llamada campaña lo abandonó a su suerte, esto porque ya estaba siendo mas popular que el, esa es la verdad a veces mal contada
