  • What a joke. Don’t believe this clip, as there are SEVERAL ‘wrongs’ being solicited as ‘correct’ here.

    No witches were burned in Salem, Mass in 1692, and they were hanged – HOWEVER, hundreds, even thousands were burned alive in the U.K. – next time, validate that some did get burned with the location of where, instead of the subterfuge.

    The Halloween Night 1938 Orson Wells Fiasco DID in fact happen, and while it did not cost the lives of thousands or millions, it did overwhelm many towns’ local police forces and call numbers, as well as scare many into utter panic that sent droves to churches and into root cellars armed, waiting to ‘fight it out’. A fight that would never come. (keep in mind, your video producers are 20-something Brits, and likely have no information past Wikipedia and Snopes. I’m 60, and my parents were in New Jersey when it happened. I’ll take their word for it, since they went into detail about the radio show).

    Bra burning? LOL, well they are correct, no bras were actually burned on the boardwalk in front of the Atlantic City convention hall that hosted the Miss America pageant in 1968, but that’s not because they didn’t plan to. In fact, Carol Hanisch, one of the organizers of the protest stated in the New York Times that they HAD planned to burn bras, but because the protest was on the wooden Atlantic City boardwalk, the NJ police would NOT allow them to – so they opted to throw them in the trashcan instead. This didn’t change the news that night, however, since type was already set and news was already primed to hit the 5-o’clock market.

    Nero fiddled while Rome burned? Well, since he’s 1500 years older than the ‘fiddle’, it is unlikely indeed. HOWEVER, rumors were that he didn’t care, and may possibly have commissioned the arson that consumed 70-percent of Rome, while rejoicing in everyone’s suffering while having the opportunity to remodel Rome in a new architecture he ‘more favored’, and making many old enemies homeless, killed many ‘birds with a single stone’, and effectively labeled him a sociopathic leader henceforth. He did, however, play music. He did enjoy seeing others in pain. AND, most of official history denotes that there is really NO WAY anyone can validate WHAT he did while it actually burned, other than to say that he benefited from it.
    (By the way, for those Bible Thumpers out there, it is MOST LIKELY – 99-percent plus, that Nero is the actual ANTI-CHRIST referenced in the Bible, being as his name added to 666 using gematria, he was evil to the core, he loved to cause pain, he spurred the persecution of Christians in 64AD as a result of the burning of Rome as a scapegoat to get pressure off himself, and in the end, Jerusalem fell to his armies).

    As for the Biblical Exodus, do the math – 2.5 million people (there were 604,000 able-bodied men on Moses’ census roles prior to leaving Egypt), wandering in the desert for 40 years, consuming 2.5 million gallons of fresh water A DAY, and around 1,000,000 pounds of food per day. IF you think this is feasible, you need to go out into the desert and try this for a week, with nothing more than a slingshot, a goatskin for water, and a cloth for shade. I invite you to try this for a week, and then defend the account. NO THIS DID NOT HAPPEN (I have to agree with the video on this point).

    As for the Gulf of Tonkin event, of course it was a false flag. Just like Pearl Harbor was a false flag that FDR knew about (why else bring all the warships into port, during a major European war, and give everyone time off for no legitimate reason, trying to courts martial anyone who stayed at their watch post?) Several senior officers who were at Pearl on Dec 7, 1941 came forward later and said that commands came to them that bordered on insanity, with two men stating clearly that FDR had 4-days prior knowledge of Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto’s fleet steaming towards Hawaii, while he pulled the whole American battlegroup into port at Pearl.
    Keep in mind, Churchill BEGGED for help for nearly a year, with FDR unwaveringly telling him NO. Suddenly, London is bombed, banks are threatened and a blinding attack by Japan (where they were off-course, almost out of fuel, and had steamed PAST Hawaii before one lone scout spots the island, where they then spend 2/3rds of their arms on Kane’ohe resupply base on the Windward side of the island, before yet another fighter over-flies the Ko’olau mountains and sees the fleet in port at Pearl).

    See, if you REALLY know what happened in history (and the trolls didn’t constantly re-write it for you), then you’d see just how evil most government leadership is. As it is, revisionist history is the EXACT reason we are doing the Socialist thing again, only 75-years after Hitler died trying to do it. He who re-writes the past condemns us to repeat the same stupid evil again (of course, evil wants this, because they want the chance to get it right this time).

    60-second soundbyte ’10-lists’ that are technically correct by factually wrong, don’t help either.
