Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (June 4, 1867 - January 27, 1951) was the Commander-in-Chief of Finland's Defence Forces, Marshal of Finland, a politician, and a military commander. He was Regent of Finland (1918 - 1919), and the sixth President of Finland (1944 - 1946). Britain: After complaints from employers and trades unions, the blackout is reduced by an hour. It now runs from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise. South Africa:The South African Prime Minister, General Smuts, promises to defend British colonies in Africa if required. United States: The US Senate votes to lift the embargo on the export of arms to belligerents. USSR: Talks continue between the USSR and Finland on Soviet requests for an exchange of territory and border alterations. Finnish counterproposals were presented, stating it recognized Soviet security needs but that Finland has now gone as far as its "independence, security and neutrality permit." The Finns refuse to allow the Soviets a military base in Finland. More Day by Day World War Two Events>>>

'V' aims at Obamamania

Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care. The news media swoons in admiration -- one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: "Why don't you show some respect?!" The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader's origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: "Embracing change is never easy." So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait -- did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who's come here to eat us? More>>>
In Iowa, Second Thoughts on Obama

Living Colour performing "Cult Of Personality" on Arsenio Has Obamamania finally waned? Pauline McAreavy voted for President Obama. From the moment she first saw him two years ago, she was smitten by his speeches and sold on his promise of change. She switched parties to support him in the Iowa caucuses, donated money and opened her home to a pair of young campaign workers. President Obama won Marengo, Iowa, by 14 votes last November, but some supporters are now second-guessing their vote. But by the time she received a fund-raising letter last month from the Democratic National Committee, a sense of disappointment had set in. She returned the solicitation with a handwritten note, saying, “Until I see some progress and he lives up to his promises in Iowa, we will not give one penny.” More>>>

Drasius Kedys- His Legend as an Assassin of Pedophiles Grows

Finally, I found something in English on Drasius... If you can imagine a standard eastern European thug, you would probably get a good picture of Lithuania's latest hero. Fake-baked, muscled and handsome in that low-level mobster-like way, Drasius Kedys doesn't cut a figure that would normally elicit empathy. But when you see a picture of him holding his four-year-old daughter, something about him -- the way he holds the child and his face, both pained and determined -- seems very human. More>>>
NYT: Al Gore Making A Fortune Spreading Global Warming Hysteria

Noel Shepard, NewsBusters- "For years I have personally challenged mainstream media outlets to admit how much money Nobel Laureate Al Gore HAS and WILL make by spreading global warming hysteria. On Tuesday, the New York Times will feature a front page story that discusses exactly that. Readers are strongly encouraged to strap themselves in tightly, for the Times' John Broder is about to take them on a journey beyond their wildest dreams" More>>> |
