November 18, 1307: According to a legend, Swiss folk hero William Tell shot an apple off his son’s head on this date. It was supposedly at the command of the "evil" Austrian governor of his province in Switzerland as punishment for refusing to salute him.
In today's 100 year old news...
The Cordele Dispatch and Daily Sentinel of Cordele, Georgia, November 18, 1924. Andrew William Mellon, US Secretary of the Treasury (1921-1932) & Arthur E. Sixsmith, former Canadian pro hockey player was Mellon's personal assistant...late for a meeting. And The Washington Times Surrenders!
Fears of overpopulation are overblown, says G. Udny Yale, the new president of Britain's Royal Statistical Society. Giving his inaugural speech, he dismisses predictions by Malthus of a mad scramble for resources and says population is rising at a sustainable clip.
Time on this 322 day!
On November 18, 1883, precisely at noon, North American railroads switched to a new standard time system for rail operations, which they called Standard Railway Time (SRT). Almost immediately after being implemented, many American cities enacted ordinances, thus resulting in the creation of time “zones.” The four standard time zones adopted were Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Though tailored to the railroad companies’ train schedules, the new system was quickly adopted nationwide, forestalling federal intervention in civil time for more than thirty years, until 1918, when daylight saving time was introduced.
March 15, 1918 The Standard Time Act is passed by Congress, creating Daylight Saving Time in the United States.
March 19, 1918 The Standard Time Act is signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson.
March 31, 1918 Daylight Saving Time goes into effect in the U.S. for the first time.
The SRT system was based on geography, economics, the locations of major cities, and the habits and needs of the populace. The one-hour difference in zones was a result of the fact that fifteen degrees of longitude corresponds to one-hour difference in solar time. It was decided that official time would correspond to the mean solar time of the closest meridian of longitude that could be divided evenly by fifteen degrees and was referenced to the meridian at Greenwich, England. There are twenty-four meridians fifteen degrees apart that circle the globe, beginning with Greenwich, the “prime” meridian.
November 18, 1983: The world’s first all-girl sextuplets were born to Janet Walton at Liverpool Maternity Hospital. The 6 girls, Hannah, Lucy, Ruth, Sarah, Kate and Jennifer were born in the space of 4 minutes between 7:56 PM and 8 PM. The Walton sextuplets were born to Janet (née Leadbetter) delivered by Caesarean section and Graham Walton and grew up in the family's seven-bedroom home in Wallasey, Merseyside.
Hannah: The oldest sextuplet and a primary school teacher
Lucy: An airline steward
Ruth: Public relations
Sarah: On maternity leave
Kate: Works in HR
Jennifer: Runs a retro sweet shop in Leeds

Trump confirms plans to use military to deport migrants after declaring national emergency
A pattern I've noticed with Trump since post election win is some of the things he says, appoints, nominates, confirms, he only posts on his Truth Social platform, while others he posts on Twitter and sometimes both platforms. Kinda like a trial balloon to see how people react and how much support he garners. For now it's all talk, talk, talk and no action. Chances are at most it will be National Guard only with active military personnel taking a advisory role only which they've done in the recent past. But, Trump can be highly unpredictable, so who knows.

The C-Lion 1 submarine cable is 728 miles long (1172 kilometers), has 8 fiber pairs and a total capacity of 144 terabits per second.
Quote:Sabotage Not Ruled Out in Break of Communications Cable in Baltic SeaA major submarine communications cable running between Finland and Germany has been broken, Finnish media reports. The break was discovered early Monday morning, and a repair ship is reportedly on its way from Calais, France, to the breakage point. The break is located about mid-point, in Sweden’s economic zone, south of the island of Öland.
A press release from state-owned communications company Cinia said that the cause of the break, which is affecting international communications, was not known but was under investigation. The company had no information about potential sabotage, but company CEO Ari-Jussi Knaapila said outages like this “do not occur in these waters without external impact.” No seismological observations have been made that could point to an underwater explosion, Yle said.
The double-armored cable has two steel reinforcements protecting the communications cables inside. Each year, about 200 submarine cable breaks happen worldwide. Cinia suspects it has been completely broken, as all fiber connections have been cut, Knaapila said in a press conference.
Finnish National Cyber Security Center Traficom communications chief Samuli Bergström said disruptions can occur from time to time, and there may be various reasons for them, such as exposure to weather and damage caused by maritime activities. The main cause of cable breaks is human activity, like fishing or anchoring.
Cybersecurity professor Tapio Frantti told the state broadcaster that intentional sabotage is more likely than an accident, based on the information he’s received from the media. “It raises suspicions when a cable breaks, prompting questions about why it happened. Quickly, attention turns to who might have a motive to do such a thing.”
Frantti said one suspect is Russia. “They even believe that they have special rights to do these kinds of things. The motive for sabotage is generally that it is done simply because it can be done.”
While the cable break takes quite a bit of communications capacity off the table, Finland has other connections, among them, through Estonia and Sweden, and most internet users are unlikely to notice, the professor said but pointed out that if the cable has been damaged intentionally, that is cause for concern.
Commissioned in 2016, the C-Lion1, which runs from Helsinki to Rostock, is the only Finnish submarine cable with a direct connection to Central Europe and is owned by the Finnish government together with a pension insurance company
.
Awful quick to blame Russia once again. Maybe a Russian fisherman, by accident. Lots of speculation.
Meanwhile, the cable layer CS Fu Tai, owned/operated by China's SB Submarine Systems but Panama-flagged, is now operating just outside of Philippines' Subic Bay naval base. A May 2024 WSJ report raised undersea cable security concerns around this ship.

Speak of the North! A lonely moor Profoundly still the twilight air, And far away a mountain zone,
Silent and dark and tractless swells,
The waves of some wild streamlet pour
Hurriedly through its ferny dells.
Lifeless the landscape; so we deem
Till like a phantom gliding near
A stag bends down to drink the stream.
A cold, white waste of snow-drifts lies,
And one star, large and soft and lone,
Silently lights the unclouded skies.

I liked the term "Mulligrubs".
Also coined in Australia as a cricketingterm describing a ball bowled below delivery height and keeping to the pitch at a low height or rolling alongthe pitch itself. Often bowled by accident, the Mullygrub deliverycan sneak under the toe of the bat and catch a batsman by surprise. Always good for a laugh but spelt "Mullygrubber" in Aust slang.
Kind regards. Bally)

November 19, 1863: President Abraham Lincoln delivered a short speech at the close of ceremonies dedicating the battlefield cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Honoring a request to offer a few remarks, Lincoln memorialized the Union dead and highlighted the redemptive power of their sacrifice. Placing the common soldier at the center of the struggle for equality, Lincoln reminded his listeners of the higher purpose for which blood was shed. The words of the speech are carved in stone on the south wall of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
Quote:Quote:…we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863.
In composing the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln must have been reminded of the words of David Wills, a prominent citizen of Gettysburg charged with cleaning up after the grisly battle of July 1-3, 1863. Wills asked the president to attend the ceremony and make a “few appropriate remarks,” stating in his letter of invitation that Lincoln’s presence would:Quote:…kindle anew in the breasts of the Comrades of those brave dead, who are now in the tented field or nobly meeting the foe in the field, a confidence that they who sleep in death on the Battle Field are not forgotten by those highest in Authority; and they will feel that, should their fate be the same, their remains will not be uncared for.
Edward Everett, perhaps the most popular orator of the day, spoke for two hours at the ceremony. Yet, Everett admitted to Lincoln, “I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes.” In spite of Lincoln’s disclaimer that “the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here,” his brief speech continues to resonate in the American memory.

It's National Play Monopoly Day! The battleship token in the classic version of Monopoly was modeled after USS Indiana (BB-1). The game piece was also used in the board games Conflict and Diplomacy. The Indiana was commissioned in 1895 and decommissioned in 1919.
The 1935 die-cast metal battleship token is actually somewhat of a game piece celebrity. The piece was originally used by Parker Brothers in a game called Conflict. When that game failed, it was easy enough for the company to take the pieces and use them in Monopoly.
Stargaze was an event Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly first held privately on the eve of his annual golf tournament, but then invited the public beginning in 1992. That year the event was held at then Pilot Field in downtown Buffalo and among the celebrities and NFL stars was Donald Trump and girl friend Marla Maples. In this video Trump makes a qualifying throw for the million dollar toss, one of a select few to throw the football through the target. Some of the stars competing included Dan Marino, John Elway, Don Makowski, Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, Paul Maguire, Chris Collingsworth, Frank Reich, Don Beebe and Kirk Cameron.

‘I am just going outside and may be some time.’
The others nod, pretending not to know.
At the heart of the ridiculous, the sublime.
He leaves them reading and begins to climb,
Goading his ghost into the howling snow;
He is just going outside and may be some time.
The tent recedes beneath its crust of rime
And frostbite is replaced by vertigo:
At the heart of the ridiculous, the sublime.
Need we consider it some sort of crime,
This numb self-sacrifice of the weakest? No,
He is just going outside and may be some time
In fact, for ever. Solitary enzyme,
Though the night yield no glimmer there will glow,
At the heart of the ridiculous, the sublime.
He takes leave of the earthly pantomime
Quietly, knowing it is time to go.
‘I am just going outside and may be some time.’
At the heart of the ridiculous, the sublime.

November 20, 1921: lawyer Jim Garrison (Mr. X-Files) was born in Denison, Iowa. He’s best known for his investigation and failed trial into the assassination of John F. Kennedy which featured in the Oliver Stone film JFK. His investigation led him to linking an Aerospace assassination team, but was never able to conclusively prove.
November 20, 1944: After 5 years the nightly WWII blackout ended in London. Blackout regulations began onSeptember 1, 1939. They required windows and doors to be covered at night. External lights such as street lights were switched off or dimmed.
November 20, 1983: The Day After aired on ABC on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. It was watched by 100 million people — half of all American adults — and remains the most-watched made-for-TV movie of all time. It is still the fifth-most watched non-Super Bowl American TV broadcast in history after the series finale of M*A*S*H*, the episode of Dallas where they revealed who shot J.R., the series finale of Cheers, and the 1994 Olympic Ladies’ figure skating contest (which drew interest due to the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan controversy).
“The Day After, ABC‘s much-discussed vision of nuclear Armageddon, is no longer only a television film, of course; it has become an event, a rally and a controversy, much of it orchestrated.”

LASL panel on tactical nuclear warfare
Russia’s repeated nuclear warnings and latest verbal lowering of threshold for potential use of nukes demonstrate an almost desperate effort to be taken seriously. Whether it will be or actually changes likely use of nukes is another question.
The challenge for the Russians is finding rungs in the ladder that link where they are right now with getting to that Light Brighter Than a Thousand Suns.
Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 19.11.2024 No. 991
"On approval of the Fundamentals of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of nuclear deterrence" (Russian Gov Official publication of legal acts) It's 8 pages worth if you're really interested.
Quote:Electromagnetic Impulse WeaponMike Turner, Chairman of the House Permanent Select on Intelligence, a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, and head of the U.S. delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly delivered a major speech 20 June 2024 about the Russian nuclear anti-satellite threat at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "The Biden Administration, only after having been challenged by a group of bipartisan Members of the House Intelligence Committee, reluctantly declassified that Russia is developing a nuclear anti-satellite weapon intended to be placed in orbit in outer space. No additional information has been released. News reports have speculated that the weapon is past development, exists, and is preparing to launch. Additional news reports have speculated that Russia already has a satellite in orbit that is a "test" first phase of Russia's anti-satellite nuclear weapon system. Without confirming or denying the accuracy of any of these reports, the questions they raise must be answered by the Biden Administration immediately.
"Regardless of Russia's timing or the possible immediacy of this evolving threat, this crisis is the "Cuban Missile Crisis in Space," and the Administration is failing. The advances that mankind has made during the Space Age are at risk, and the Administration is sleepwalking into an irreversible "Day Zero."... In order to avoid "Day Zero" the Biden Administration must immediately declassify all known information concerning the status of Russia's nuclear anti-satellite weapons program. Vladimir Putin thrives in secrecy. Putin's plans and weapons programs must be fully disclosed by the Administration and understood by the world.... The Biden Administration is incredibly reluctant to take any action that would appear to be escalatory. However, Russia is the aggressor, and an escalation has already occurred. Now, the United States must stand strong with our allies to stop "Day Zero" and preserve space, as the UN Outer Space Treaty intended, for the betterment of all mankind."
.....
Around that time there was also evidence of renewed Russian interest in their Novaya Zemlya nuclear test range, silent since the end of the Cold War. Then on 03 October 2023 Margarita Simonova, editor-in-chief of the Russian Today propaganda empire, proposed using a nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon.
This plan might proceed in eight stages:
description of the concept, already in progress.
Denunciation of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, already in progress.
Announcement of an intention to resuming testing.
Conduct an underground nuclear test in the Arctic.
A nuclear test in space above Siberia, creating a damaging EMP over Russian territory and crippling many satellites in space.
A nuclear attack against the US, with a nuclear detonation in space, over Manhattan, which could cause a blackout across the Northeastern United States and damage or destroy electronic devices.
A nuclear attack against the entire US, with a nuclear detonation in space, over the central USA, which could cause a blackout across the whole USA, and damage or destroy electronic devices.
further escalationSimonyan said the EMP taatcks over Siberia, which would render all iPhones and iPads useless, would take us "back to the year of 1993 or so, corded phones". She added: "I'll tell you. It was a wonderful life." It would be the “most humane” and “harmless” form of nuclear blackmail, she claimed, but her outburst appeared too extreme even for her paymasters in the Kremlin.
....
Nov 20, 1962: Cuban Missile Crisis formally ends... The worldwide US Forces DEFCON 3 status was returned to DEFCON 4 on this day. The world is saved, although General Curtis LeMay was not a happy camper and told the President that the resolution of the crisis was the "greatest defeat in our history"; JFK told'em to F'off. 62 years later... Nuclear doctrines & Panic Attacks.
The same day JFK was delivering his historic address on the Cuban Missile Crisis, Ray Milland's PANIC IN YEAR ZERO! was replaying at the Congress theater in Washington, D.C. (it was playing in other cities as well).
November 20, 1963: US Congress member Hale Boggs warned President John F. Kennedy concerning his upcoming motorcade through Dallas on 22 November: "Mr. President, you’re going into a hornet’s nest."
Thomas Hale Boggs Sr. (February 15, 1914 – disappeared over Alaska in October 16, 1972; declared dead December 29, 1972) was an American Democratic Party politician and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was the House majority leader and a member of the Warren Commission.
In 2020, Boggs's disappearance was investigated in a podcast produced by iHeartMedia called Missing in Alaska.

November 22, 1718: The notorious English pirate Edward Teach ("Blackbeard"), was killed by a Royal Navy boarding squad off the coast of North Carolina. He was shot 5 times, with a further 20 knife wounds inflicted.
Blackbeard captured a French slave ship known as La Concorde, renamed her Queen Anne's Revenge, equipped her with 40 guns, and crewed her with over 300 men.
November 22, 1955: the Soviet Union detonated its first two-stage hydrogen bomb "RDS-37" at the Semipalatinsk Test Site. The bomb was dropped from the Tupolev Tu-16 bomber and detonated at an altitude of 1550 m (5,090 ft) with a yield of 1.6 Megatons, scaled down from 3 Megatons.
Despite the reduction in yield, much of its shock wave was focused back downward at the ground unexpectedly because the weapon detonated under an inversion layer, causing a trench to collapse on a group of soldiers, killing one. It also caused a building in Kurchatov, 65 km (40 mi) away, to collapse killing a young girl.
A scientist in Andrei Sakharov's theoretical lab recalled the test in a collective book of memoirs. He witnessed the RDS-37 test from a viewing station thirty-two kilometers (20 miles) away from the hypocenter. As the countdown reached zero, the first impression he had "was of almost intolerable heat, as if [his head] had been placed into an open oven for several seconds." The shock wave of dust and debris caused by the explosion could be seen and heard approaching and reached the viewing station roughly ninety seconds after the thermonuclear detonation. All viewers were forced to fall down on their faces with their feet pointed toward the explosion to help avoid injury from flying debris. After the shock wave passed, all the viewers stood up and started cheering their success, the Soviet Union became the first to successfully air deliver a two-stage thermonuclear weapon.
After the test, the commission noted three things during the meeting on 24 November 1955, "the design of the hydrogen bomb, based on a novel principle, has been successfully tested; it is necessary to continue detailed studies of the processes proceeding in explosions of bombs of this type; further development of hydrogen bombs should be conducted on the basis of a broad application of the principles chosen as the foundation of the RDS-37 bomb".
69 years later Putin tested a novel medium range hypersonic MIRV (Multiple Independently Targetable Reentry Vehicle) missile on the Ukraine. This one was of course conventional, not nuclear. Putin said he would give a 30 minute knock-knock to the target for next launch. Now, if that warning goes beyond 30 min warning then you better be in a very bunker under a mountain.

On this day in 1963, a US president was murdered and two well known authors passed away, Aldous Huxley (age 69) best known for the dystopian novel Brave New World. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature 7 times, but never won... And Clive Staples "CS" Lewis (age 64) best known for Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy.
Huxley, at least, made it interesting: At his request, his wife shot him up with LSD a couple of hours before the end, and he tripped his way out of this world.

JFK was scheduled to speak in Austin but never made it. Here is the speech he was going to give:
On the night of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Bill Grundy anchored a late-night news special for the Granada region, first TV news in the UK alongside Mike Scott, who broke the story on Scene at 6:30 that evening.
Amazing amount of details about "Lee H. Oswald's" Soviet links, defection, the rifle and Russian wife which became known exceptionally so quick AND no Internet!! And the the murder of police officer JD Tippit which is a huge mystery in of itself. Almost like they had a direct hot landline feed from the alphabet agencies.
Reportedly, the Washington-Moscow Hotline was first used by the Americans on the day of the assassination of president Kennedy, only a few months after the link was established.

November 22, 1993: John Anthony Burgess Wilson died (age 76). He published under the name Anthony Burgess and his best known novel was A Clockwork Orange. In 1971, it was adapted into a highly controversial film by Stanley Kubrick. Burgess said the film was responsible for the popularity of the book which was first published in 1962.

It's strange that the NYT authors did not note a connection here. The "ghosts screaming" are very likely inspired by this Army operation during the Vietnam War.
Vietnam War Ghost Audio Tape used in PSYOPS 'Wandering Soul'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZjZkdkv_is
Bone-chilling sounds of an actual Vietnam War ghost tape which was used by American and ARVN forces in psychological warfare operations against the Viet Cong and Vietnamese Army in 'Operation Wandering Soul'. Known officially as 'The Wandering Soul', and also known as 'Ghost Tape Number 10', the tape was broadcast by US Army and ARVN forces loudspeakers installed on boats, helicopters, and crew-carried units during "Chieu Hoi" and Psychological Warfare missions in use against the Viet Cong and Vietnamese main army.
Also note that this has long been a tactic used by the US military and law enforcement, from Noriega and Waco to the 1991 Gulf War to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
THE "WANDERING SOUL" TAPE OF VIETNAM
Throughout history, in war and peace, I have played many roles.
I am inspiration.
I am motivation.
I am intimidation.
I am deception.
I am...PSYOP.
I am the broadcast of reason over radio, television and loudspeaker.
I am the light of truth in print media, leaflet, newspaper, handbill or poster.
I am the force multiplier that wins my country's wars.
I was, I am and I will forever remain...PSYOP.
Friday words...
The wind whispers tales of Eylebourne,
Where streams run swift and willows mourn.
A mysig cottage, nestled deep,
Where secrets hide and shadows sleep.
A titty-toit, a playful bird,
Its song a melody unheard,
Flitting through branches, light and free,
A symbol of wild ecstasy.
The Dub-Skelper, a fearsome name,
A creature of legend, whispered fame,
Lurking in shadows, dark and cold,
A story often, bravely told.
But in the hearth, the fire burns bright,
Chasing away the fearsome night.
And in that glow, we find our peace,
Where worries fade and troubles cease.
Dub Skelper - Parcel O' Rogues / Drunken Piper

The press is reporting that President Biden gave his permission for Ukrainian forces to fire US-made missiles into Russia.
Russia confirms one such launch, claiming to have shot most of them down without much damage or any casualties.
Putin has reportedly changed Russia’s nuclear doctrine, stating that any attack on Russia by a non-nuclear country backed by a nuclear power will be treated as an attack by a nuclear power.
"WWIII" is trending on social media. Again.
Here’s a quick take:
Escalating "WWIII" brinksmanship over Ukraine is going to result in two big narratives:
1) Trump taking over and "calming the situation down", maybe including a peace deal but at least a ratcheting down of tensions. This will give him "see he saved us from the crazy pro-war establishment" points and distract from his backing of vaccines/digital ID/CBDCs and all the rest of technocrats sneaking into the White House West wing.
Hell, maybe they’ll throw him a Nobel Peace Prize for the media circus of it all.
2) Later, this "nuclear near miss" can be parlayed into "Gee, hot damn, maybe a global government is a good idea to prevent nuclear annihilation".

November 23, 1915: Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile! was published in London. It was one of most popular British songs during the First World War era. It was written by Welsh songwriter, George Henry Powell, under the pseudonym of George Asaf with music by his brother Felix Powell. The song is best remembered for its chorus. It was featured in the American show Her Soldier Boy, which opened in December 1916.

Nov 23, 1963: BBC1 broadcast the 1st episode of the science fiction series, Doctor Who, "An Unearthly Child" with William Hartnell in the title role. The 1st episode deals with Ian and Barbara’s discovery of the Doctor and reveals his time-space ship TARDIS which is disguised as a police box. I read somewhere that the first episode Repeated the following week in response to complaints by children that their parents wouldn't let them watch the TV over the weekend because of constant replays of the Kennedy assassination. Ha, the bloody rotten scoundrels. Meanwhile, Mary Whitehouse went on a hellfire crusade about the new show.
November 23, 1990: Welsh-born writer Roald Dahl died at age 74. He became a RAF fighter pilot and, subsequently, an intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. His often macabre books aimed at children include, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, The BFG, The Twits, George's Marvellous Medicine and Danny, the Champion of the World, and the film script for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. His books have sold over 250 million copies worldwide.
Roald Dahl’s first published work, Shot Down Over Libya was in the Saturday Evening Post August 1, 1942. He actually ran out of fuel and wasn’t in the U.S. recovering from injuries. He was in the U.S. spying.
November 23, 2001: Mary Whitehouse died at age 91. What were the odds she dies on the day Doctor Who first aired?? She was a British teacher & hardnose conservative activist, staunch campaigner against sex and violence being shown on TV or broadcast on radio via her National Viewers’ and Listeners’ Association founded in 1965 (now known as Mediawatch-UK) in the 1960s, 70s & 80s. She led a longstanding campaign against the BBC. She even tried (for many years) to have Doctor Who banned for what she described as its "nightmare qualities" in the 60s and "teatime brutality for tots" specifically referencing the episode "Genesis of the Daleks" where the Doctor encounters a particularly brutal and disturbing scene while seemingly having a "teatime" with a group of young characters. The second show on her hit list was the comedian Benny Hill for his sexy sketches. She was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1980 Queen's Birthday Honors List for her services to the National Viewers and Listeners Association.

Steve Bannon ties to Arizona. Worked at Biosphere 2. KGUN9 ON YOUR SIDE.
I couldn't find any other source where Bannon refers to himself as a Leninist. When he was in the Navy he mapped out an entire set of ports & cities where he could access theosophical libraries, societies & meetings. Even stranger is Bannon spent 6 months training with Jacob Needleman (who popularized the term 'new religious movements') in the mountains of Calif and he is one of the top writers on George Gurdjieff and runs his own Gurdjieff groups.

Victoria Claflin Woodhull was the first woman to run for president. The first female stockbroker to open a brokerage house on Wall Street. The first person to publish Marx and Engels’ Communist Manifesto in the United States. And the first woman to address Congress and drive a motorcar through Hyde Park. She was a leader of the women’s suffrage movement. A champion of the International Workingmen’s Association. The founder of a feminist newspaper read by tens of thousands. An enthusiast of both free love and eugenics-adjacent stirpiculture, or, "The Scientific Propagation of the Human Race".
She was also a "magnetic healer" who earned a living, and glimpsed a freer, more equal realm, through the doctrines of spiritualism. She was the singular Victoria Claflin Woodhull (1838–1927), “one of the few women”, writes second-wave feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem, "to live out in public the principles of female emancipation and sexual freedom that were not only unusual in her day but illegal."
Born in Homer, Ohio, in 1838, as the seventh child of an itinerant family, Victoria was named after the English Queen, who had acceded to the throne that previous year. Her father, a part-time confidence man named Buck Claflin, trained Victoria and her younger sister Tennessee (Tennie) — when he wasn’t abusing them with stinging whips and hand saws, claimed the biographer Theodore Tilton — to work the spiritualist-medium circuit from an early age. Victoria was married off at fourteen to Dr. Channing Woodhull, who delivered their mentally disabled son, Byron, at home in a state of alcoholic intoxication. (Victoria would subsequently blame their unhappy marriage for her son’s disability, and develop her eugenicist theories off the back of his suffering.) After her remarriage — to a Civil War veteran known as Colonel Blood — Victoria and Tennie sought, in 1871, a different form of speculation, on Wall Street, backed by the younger sister’s suitor, Cornelius Vanderbilt.
The sisters said their edge in the stock market came from telepathic powers; newspapers across the country labeled them “Bewitching Brokers” (less for their clairvoyance than as a demeaning intimation that their brokerage operated like a brothel). With their earnings, they launched Woodhull and Claflin’s Weekly, which claimed to be the “only Paper in the World conducted, absolutely, upon the Principles of a Free Press”. (The sisters were arrested for obscenity charges shortly thereafter.) Woodhull’s polemics on suffrage, which appeared with frequency in their Weekly and other periodicals, buoyed her reputation on the speaking circuit. By 1872, she came to depend on income from her lectures and commanded audiences unparalleled by any peer. Her unwavering defense of free love — "Yes, I am a Free Lover", she says in her speech “The Principles of Social Freedom”, I have an inalienable, constitutional, and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere" — made her enemies among suffragettes and beyond. At the National Woman Suffrage Association convention in 1872, Susan B. Anthony cut the lights to prevent Woodhull from speaking. That same year, she ran for president of the United States as a member of the Equal Rights Party, with Frederick Douglass chosen by the party as her running mate (he rejected the appointment and suppressed the incident from his autobiography). As a result of her political ambition, writes the scholar Amanda Frisken, Woodhull "lost her home, her paper, her means of earning a living and Vanderbilt’s backing."
The lecture, The Impending Revolution, was delivered in February 1872 to audiences in Boston and New York. The latter venue, New York’s Academy of Music, saw an audience of six thousand, composed of various sections of the International Workingmen’s Association — the only national labor organization, at the time, not specialized to a single industry — with many more eager listeners turned away at the door. The New York Times was not impressed: “Her periodical exhibitions of bitter language upon the platform attract numbers of idle people, among whom are some whose ignorance and envy fit them to receive her folly as though it were words of wisdom.” But others had found a leader. A month after this lecture, 1500 workers began spontaneously chanting Woodhull’s name during a rally in the East Village’s Tompkins Square Park.
The Impending Revolution envisions a Christian socialist uprising in which all divisions between citizens will be dissolved into the common good:
"The impending revolution, then, will be the strife for the mastery between the authority, despotism, inequalities and injustices of the present, and freedom, equality and justice in their broad and perfect sense, based on the proposition that humanity is one, having a common origin, common interests and purposes, and inheriting a common destiny, which is the complete statement of the religion of Jesus Christ, unadulterated by his professed followers."
Freedom! Equality!! Justice!!!
First but not the Last: Women Who Ran for President
Colonel Blood & The Fogg Women
Quote:While the campaign was never taken seriously in mainstream circles, it was further hampered by Victoria’s involvement in publishing the details of the Beecher scandal. She would be in and out of courtrooms and jailhouses for charges of libel and obscenity over the next five years. In 1876, Woodhull and Claflin’s Weekly was forced to fold, and nearly broke, the sisters moved to England, marrying into wealthy families and reinventing themselves as aristocrats and patrons of the arts. While their days of agitating for women’s rights and social reform were over, both lived to see women gain the right to vote both in the United States and their adopted homeland of Great Britain. Victoria Woodhull died in 1927 at the age of 88.
November 25, 1914: English ship Bulwark, sunk in three minutes' time. HMS Bulwark was one of five London-class pre-dreadnought battleships built for the Royal Navy in 1899.
A powerful internal explosion ripped Bulwark apart at about 07:53 on 26 November 1914 while she was moored at Number 17 buoy in Kethole Reach, 4 nautical miles west of Sheerness in the estuary of the River Medway. All the ship's officers were killed in the explosion and only a dozen ratings survived. A total of 741 men were lost, including members of the band of the gunnery school, HMS Excellent, which was playing aboard. Only about 30 bodies were recovered after the explosion. In terms of loss of life, the incident remains the second most catastrophic accidental explosion in the history of the United Kingdom, exceeded only by the explosion of the dreadnought battleship Vanguard, caused by a stokehold fire detonating a magazine, at Scapa Flow in 1917.
Nov 25, 1924: A Cuban actress, Ofelia Rivas, is killed by a shark after the liner Esperanza strikes rocks off Tampico, Mexico. News accounts say she jumps from the ship either to save her dog or a hat when she's attacked. All other passengers make it to shore safely.
Nov 25, 1924: "Midinettes"— young unmarried women in frilly headdresses and other costumes—walk the streets of Paris as part of a custom on St. Catherine's Day in which they're entitled to kiss the man of their choice.
Nov 25, 1944: at 12:26 pm on a busy shopping Saturday, a German V2 rocket made a direct hit on a crowded Woolworth's store in London’s New Cross, killing 168 people. At the time of the attack, on a Saturday afternoon, the shop was crowded. It was the worst German V-2 attack on Britain during the Second World War.

Late entry due to file trash not be emptied on time and I was left out in space all alone!
November 26, 1864: Oxford Don Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (pen name Lewis Carroll), presented Alice Liddell with the story of Alice's Adventures Under Ground that she had inspired with illustrations by Carroll, dedicating it as "A Christmas Gift to a Dear Child in Memory of a Summer's Day". The published version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is about twice the length of Alice's Adventures Under Ground and includes episodes, such as the Mad Hatter's Tea-Party that do not appear in the manuscript.
According to Alice, the only known manuscript copy of Under Ground is held in the British Library.
November 26, 1867: Shopkeeper Lily (or Lilly) Maxwell of Manchester became the first woman to vote in a British election due to a clerical error on the electoral register for a by-election in Manchester. Her vote was later declared void.
Happy National Cake Day! Life’s Batter with Cake!
In late 1946, a minor controversy erupted over a published photo of Vice Admiral Blandy and his wife cutting an "atomic cake" in an event celebrating the disbandment of the team behind Operation Crossroads. His nickname was "Spike" and in November 1945, he was promoted to Vice Admiral and became Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, Special Weapons. In February 1947, he was promoted to 4-star Admiral and became Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, retired in February 1950, died on 12 January 1954 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. In public media circles of that era he was known as "Atomic Playboy". Rock musician Steve Stevens used the original audio of Blandy's "I am not an atomic playboy" speech at the beginning of the opening and title track of his 1989 album Atomic Playboys.
Marvin Leonard "Murph" Goldberger (October 22, 1922 – November 26, 2014) was an American theoretical physicist and former president of the California Institute of Technology, CFR member, And the co-founder of the JASON group physicists, advisors to DARPA all throughout the cold war era until post-9/11. According to DARPA researcher, Annie Jacobsen, when DARPA & the Pentagon wanted to move into autonomonous warfare with hunter/killer self-governing drones AND brain chip implants; the JASON group advised against it. DARPA & Pentagon war mongers replaced the JASONs with an old group called the Defense Science Board (DSB).
The issue with DSB vs JASONs is that the DSB are full-time non-academic defense contractors who sit on all the major defense contractor boards like Lockheed, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon, etc., in advising the Pentagon on how to move forward on autonomous warfare. The closed-loop Eisenhower warned against.
Sec of Defense Ash Carter under Obama ordered a program to work on robotics and Ethics. Then it was realized that cyborgs don't have morals so DARPA created a new program focused on "trust" called Narrative Networks or the "N2" program to master the science of propaganda in working with story tellers and anthropologists on how people are influenced by narratives which involves a brain chemical called Oxytocin, sometimes referred to as the brain's moral molecule.
Analyze the neurobiological impact of narratives on hormones and neurotransmitters, reward processing, and emotion-cognition interaction; and Develop models and simulations of narrative influence in social and environmental contexts, develop sensors to determine their impact on individuals and groups, and suggest doctrinal modifications...And that project was from 10 years ago.
So, from DARPA perspective this Oxytocin chemical is what humans use as a trust mechanism and the potential to mass manipulate populations along with DARPA transhumanism for the military mission.

While this manifesto is attributed to musician John Cage, Brain Pickings suggests it originated with Sister Corita Kent. Corita Kent created the manifesto as part of a class project. It later became the official rules of the art department at LA’s Immaculate Heart Convent and was popularized later by Cage.
Corita Kent (November 20, 1918 – September 18, 1986), born Frances Elizabeth Kent and also known as Sister Mary Corita Kent, was an American artist, designer and educator, and former religious sister. Key themes in her work included Christianity, and social justice. Kent created several hundred serigraph designs, for posters, book covers, and murals. Her work includes the 1985 United States Postal Service stamp "Love" and the 1971 Rainbow Swash, the largest copyrighted work of art in the world, covering a 150-foot (46 m) high natural gas tank in Boston.
In 2023 the Catticus Corporation was granted $700,000 by the National Endowment for the Humanities to produce a documentary, titled "You Should Never Blink", about the rebellious life of the “pop art nun” Corita Kent.

Nov 26, 1941: Departing under great secrecy, Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo's Pearl Harbor Striking Force made their way towards Pearl Harbor. All 6 of Japan's first-line aircraft carriers Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu, Shokatu, and Zuikaku, took part. Along with over 420 embarked planes, these carriers, along with other warships and submarines, constituted the most powerful carrier task force assembled at that time.

November 27, 1924: Macy's stages its first Thanksgiving Day Parade, an event that is soon to become a New York tradition. The march from Harlem 6 miles south to 34th Street, seen by 250,000 people, is at first called the "Christmas Parade" to explicitly promote holiday shopping.
The "Marathon of Mirth" features animals from the Central Park Zoo, stilt walkers, clowns, bands and a series of floats ending with one that features Santa Claus. Once the procession reaches 34th St., Santa scales a ladder and sits on a throne atop Macy's newly built marquee.
November 27, 1835: James Pratt (1805–1835) and John Smith (1795–1835) became the last 2 people executed for "sodomy" in England. Neither Pratt nor Smith were allowed to give evidence at their trial. They pleaded not guilty but the jury returned a guilty verdict.
Some modern human rights activists have cast doubt on the facts and legality of the conviction. In January 2017, Pratt and Smith were among those who were posthumously pardoned by the Alan Turing law which pardoned those who had been convicted of same-sex carnal offences which no longer exist in the UK.
In April 2024, Southwark Liberal Democrat councillor Victor Chamberlain proposed a rainbow plaque be unveiled on Blackfriars Road to commemorate Pratt and Smith.
