JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?"

DeGaulle did not respond. You could have heard a pin drop.

When in England, at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush.

He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of Its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for In return is enough to bury those that did not return."


You could have heard a pin drop.

There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, One of the French engineers came back into the room saying, "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?" A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: "Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships. How many does France have?"

You Could have heard a pin drop.

A U.S. Navy admiral was attending a naval conference that included admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French navies at a cocktail reception. He found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks when a  French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, "Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?" Without hesitating, the American admiral replied, "Maybe it's because the Brit's, Canadians, Aussie's and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to speak German."

You could have heard a pin drop.

AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE...

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on. "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked  sarcastically. Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it." "Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !" The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to."

You could have heard a pin drop.

Quote:SOLUTION TO GUN VIOLENCE?
The two horrific shootings this week are being blamed on (of course) President Trump by the Lame Stream Media.
The double dozen dimwit Democrats running for his job also blame him.
OK…let’s find a solution to this problem:
The Dayton, Ohio shooter was a registered Democrat.
The El Paso shooter says he is a progressive leftist.
In 1865, a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.
In 1881, a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United  States – who later died from the wound.
In 1963, a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President  of the United States.
In 1975, a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the  United States.
In 1983, a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the  United States.
In 1984, James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a  McDonalds restaurant.
In 1986, Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in  an Oklahoma post office.
In 1990, James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC  office.
In 1991, George Hennard, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 23 people in a  Luby’s cafeteria in Killeen , TX.
In 1995, James Daniel Simpson, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 5  coworkers in a Texas laboratory.
In 1999, Larry Asbrook, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 8 people at a  church service.
In 2001, a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed  attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US.
In 2003, Douglas Williams, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people at a  Lockheed Martin plant.
In 2007, a registered Democrat named Seung – Hui Cho, shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech.
In 2010, a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner, shot Rep.  Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others.
In 2011, a registered Democrat named James Holmes, went into a movie theater and  shot and killed 12 people.
In 2012, Andrew Engeldinger, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people in  Minneapolis.
In 2013, a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a  school in Newtown ,CT and an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy ship  yard.
The list is getting longer so in the interests of saving space, let’s just say clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns.
Not one NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservative was involved in any of these shootings and murders.
SOLUTION?
It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns.
We don’t need gun control.
We need Democrat control.
Guns don’t kill people, Democrats do!

Quote:Beer & the Wheel:

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel.  

Beer required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. 
  
Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed. 
  
The wheel was invented to get man to the beer and vice versa. These two were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 
  
1. Liberals. 
2. Conservatives. 
  
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement. 
  
Other men who were less skilled at hunting (called    'vegetarians'    which was an early human word meaning    'bad hunter')    learned to live off the Conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hairdressing. This was the beginning of the liberal movement. 
  
Some of these liberal men “evolved” into women. Others became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that Conservatives provided. 
  
Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons. 
  
Modern Liberals like special flavored beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine spritzers or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: many liberal women have higher testosterone levels than their men. 
  
Most college professors, social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, film makers in Hollywood, group therapists and community organizers are liberals. Liberals meddled in our national pastime and invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat. 
  
Conservatives drink real beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are members of the military, big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, airline pilots, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other Conservatives who want to work for a living. 
  
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when Conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing. 
  
Here ends today's lesson in world history. It should be noted that a liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to this post. 
  
A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be shared immediately to other true believers and to just piss-off more liberals. 
  
And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self, I'm going to grab a few beers and grill some steaks! Right after I forward this message .

I have to say,,,,, 
 Why not this could explain AIDS or EBOLA and yes the Spanish Flu.
Are there Billions of Little Alien Viruses Falling on our Head and Body to be breathed in everyday?

I've been noticing this for some time and felt that maybe it's just my contempt of the current lazy Journalism.
But there's been articles that seem to mock the reader or maybe even humour them with the use of a certain
wording exploit.

I'm kicking myself that I never collected the others that put me onto this, but the articles are out there and I will
search for them. They seemed to increased lately where (and I'm just making these two-up)... a guy crashes his
crop-spraying plane somewhere and the pilot is called Pete Fallen or a dog goes missing and its owner's surname
is 'Fleeing'! I know it sounds silly, but the tales are there.

I saw this one via a Tim Pool video and was surprised again that nobody has picked up on the strange facets
of this particular story. I hope other RN members can add to this thread with other accounts where names,
locations and similar anomalies indicate that the story holds an 'odd' slant to it.

Here's the outline of the incident :
Sydney, Australia. A drug-fuelled transgender male attacked customers at a local store with an axe.
The prison sentence was recently increased due to the victims demanding so.
(See here for the full article. The Guardian)

Fine, another crazy does something terrible. But look at the names of those involved.

"...Amati, who had recently transitioned to a woman, attacked Ben Rimmer and Sharon Hacker inside a 7-Eleven at
Enmore in January 2017 and then chased down nearby pedestrian Shane Redwood...'

'Hacker, Redwood' and 'Rimmer' (Merriam-Webster's definition: 'an implement for cutting, trimming, or ornamenting
the rim of something')... isn't this strange? In a different setting, wouldn't this story be found as suspicious?

The nearest I could get to Evie Amati was 'Amati' referred to a family of Italian violin makers, active in Cremona in the
16th and 17th centuries. But going out on a limb, the criminal's full name (without one of the 'e's) is an anagram of
'amative', a word meaning impassioned, fervent or romantic.

Maybe it's just me picking up on something that really isn't there, but I'm sure that among the many threads on our
Rogue Nation site, there are similar accounts where names and locations oddly coincide with the meaning of the
story.

Forgive me for my silliness, but I'll post them if more appear.

Quote:Trump Orders Student Loan Forgiveness for Disabled Veterans

Quote:The directive came after 51 attorneys general criticized the federal Education Department for cumbersome eligibility rules for disabled veterans to eliminate their college loan debt.

Quote:President Trump signed a measure on Wednesday that seeks to remove the bureaucratic barriers for permanently disabled veterans to qualify for student loan forgiveness, which he said would save 25,000 wounded warriors an average of $30,000.


The rollout of the executive action came during the American Veterans national convention in Louisville, Ky., where Mr. Trump was joined onstage by Betsy DeVos, the education secretary, and the deputy secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, James Byrne.

“I am proud to announce that I am taking executive action to ensure that our wounded warriors are not saddled with mountains of student debt,” Mr. Trump said. “They have made a sacrifice that’s so great. And they’re such incredible people. And they never complain. They never complain.
That’s hundreds of millions of dollars in student debt held by our severely wounded warriors. It’s gone forever.”
