Ridley’s Believe It Or
Not For October 27, 2017 The Russian collusion with
respect to the DNC and the Clintons is no delusion as we await the testimony of
the FBI informant before Congress now that his NDA has been lifted that may put
HJC (J stands for Judas as she sold 20 percent of our uranium not for 30 pieces
of silver but $145 M to the foundation and $500 k speaking fee to Bill) in
jail, Mueller out of his job as special prosecutor and Podesta and other key DNC officials in jail where
they belong; an unanswered question of whether the false anti Trump dossier was
used to enable Obama officials like Susan Rice and Susan Power to unmask Trump
supporters which is really troubling in terms of our 4th Amendment;
justice has finally prevailed in the class action lawsuit brought on behalf of
conservative Tea Party groups as the IRS admitted it was wrong and has agreed
to pay a “substantial sum” to the plaintiffs (too bad that lying weasel Lois
Lerner was not also named as a defendant); on the teacher sex front, 26 year
old Allyson Moran, a a married but probably not for long substitute teacher has
been charged with having sex with one of her minor students and if convicted
faces 15 years in prison; Podesta and Wasserman Schultz are in perjury hot
water in that when testifying before Congress last month both lied by denying
that the DNC and the HJC campaign did not pay Fusion GPS for the Trump dossier
when we now know they paid over $6M; almost a stuck record or a gruesome
remake of Groundhog Day, Chicago style, the carnage in
Chicago continued unabated with total shootings in 2017 through October 25
increasing to 3112 and the death toll increased to 540 and still nothing is
being done to hinder or prevent the killings of minorities by minorities.
As always,
I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and observances, a relevant quote from
Sylvia Plath on poetry, a music link to Janet Jackson, factoids of interest for
this day in history, while pondering whether you are up to buying a labet, but secure in the knowledge
that if you want to find a gift for any memorable events like birthdays,
weddings, or anniversaries, you know that the Alaskanpoet can provide you
with a unique customized poem at a great price tailored to the event
and the recipient. You need only contact me for details.
1. Navy Day—celebrating the contribution to our
national security by the Navy since first celebrated on October 27, 1922; the
date was chosen because it is also the birthday of one of this nation’s
staunchest supporters of the Navy, Teddy Roosevelt, former president and
Secretary of the Navy and instrumental in causing the Great White Fleet to sail
around the globe on a show the flag voyage.
2. World Day of Audio
Visual Heritage—created by UNESCO to promote awareness of the need and the means
to preserve audio visual recording and celebrated since 2005.
3. 1990
Number One Song—the number one song in 1990 on a run of 1 week in that position
was “Black Cat” by that singer famous for her Super Bowl Halftime prop failure
performance Janet Jackson. Here is a recording of
the song:
4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “labret” which means a lip ornament
which are most popular among the young.
5. To
Be Immortal—celebrating the birth on this day in 1932 of noted poet and
author of the Bell Jar Sylvia Plath
who wrote the Bell Jar and the poetry
collections Ariel and Colossus in a depressed mood after her
husband left her for another woman in 1962. She committed suicide on February
11, 1963 and is the first person to receive a Pulitzer Prize posthumously for Ariel which was published after her
death.
On this day
in:
a. 1981 in a
navigational oops moment a Russian Whiskey Class submarine ran aground on the
east coast of Sweden. The incident became known as Whiskey on the Rocks; the
diesel electric submarine is now museum.
b. 1988 after discovery
of listening devices installed by the Russians in our new Moscow Embassy under construction, President
Reagan suspended construction.
c. 1992 navy radioman
Allen Schindler, Jr. was murdered by shipmate Terry Helvey for being gay; the
murder precipitated a debate over having gays in the military and resulted in
the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that was instituted by President Clinton on
February 28, 1994 and ended by President Obama on September 20, 2011.
d. 2014 Britain withdrew
all of its troops from Afghanistan ending a fight against terrorists there that
had commenced in 2002.
e. 2017 Catalonia declared
its independence from Spain which Spain rejected and moved to take over direct
control .
Reflections on the effect of
poetry the birthday girl who would have been 85 today: “I saw the gooseflesh on
my skin. I did not know what made it. I was not cold. Had a ghost passed over?
No, it was the poetry."
