Crazy isn't it? To be honest, I didn't know either.

I believe it had been first publicly endorsed by Ted Kennedy (I could be wrong). It had definitely been getting some major play as an issue. I think that Reagan passed it into law as a conciliatory (and condescending) move to "quiet down the restless natives". Remember, this was only a few years after the MOVE fiasco.

Well that would make a lot more sense.
Once capitalists know we can release the Kraken, they'll back down and obey our demands for sure.

1605-Guy Fawkes and co-conspirators attempt to blow up the houses of Parliament in the Gunpowder plot. Remember Remember the 5th of November.

1941 – World War II: Soviet leader Joseph Stalin addresses the Soviet Union for only the second time during his three-decade rule. He states that even though 350,000 troops were killed in German attacks so far, the Germans had lost 4.5 million soldiers and that Soviet victory was near. 1943 – World War II: the Soviet Red Army recaptures Kiev. Before withdrawing, the Germans destroy most of the city's ancient buildings. 1963 – Vietnam War: Following the November 1 coup and execution of President Ngo Dinh Diem, coup leader General Duong Van Minh takes over leadership of South Vietnam. 1965 – Cuba and the United States formally agree to begin an airlift for Cubans who want to go to the United States. By 1971, 250,000 Cubans made use of this program. 1985 – The Iran-Contra Affair: The American press reveals that U.S. President Ronald Reagan had authorized the shipment of arms to Iran. 07 Nov 2010, 17:42
Really I'm going to be the one who has to say it? Ok then:
1917-Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks take Petrograd begin the creation of the Soviet Union. Once capitalists know we can release the Kraken, they'll back down and obey our demands for sure.

1918 - World War I: Germany signs an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside Compiègne in France. The war officially ends at 11:00 (The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month) and this is annually honoured with a two-minute silence. 1965 - In Rhodesia (modern-day Zimbabwe), the white-minority government of Ian Smith unilaterally declares independence. 1975 - Independence of Angola. Now what is this…

I almost hate to say it but...
November 11 1887- The Haymarket Martyrs are executed. Although I always think calling them "martyrs" is a bit of a stretch. Forum Rules Red_Son: Bob Avakian is the Glenn Beck of communism. "Le prolétariat; c'est moi." - King Indigo XIV 17 Nov 2010, 23:44

1869- The Suez canal is opened up in Egypt. 1970- The Soviets landed on the moon. Well, an unmanned vehicle anyway. 2003- California gets "Terminated". Forum Rules Red_Son: Bob Avakian is the Glenn Beck of communism. "Le prolétariat; c'est moi." - King Indigo XIV

I remember Gray Davis doing a slew of "Aw, Shucks" post-termination commercials for various products. One may have even been an insurance company (oh, the irony!).

It was a bad joke, I'll admit, but the event I was refering to was Arnold Schartzenegger's swearing in as Governor.

1976- The dictatorship in Spain is officially dissolved. 1936- Ironically enough, the dictatorship is offically recognized by Germany and Italy on the same day 40 years ago. 1987- The report of the Iran-Contra affair is issued, placing the blame on Reagan's head. 1903- The US is granted the right to build the Panama Canal Forum Rules Red_Son: Bob Avakian is the Glenn Beck of communism.

Events of Interest 1864: Sherman's March to the Sea. And so begins a long period of anger from the region. 1963: President Kennedy is assassinated while the Texas governor Connally is wounded. LBJ is sworn in as president. Conspiracy theories abound. Also one I found amusing in a dark way: 2002: 100 people killed in Nigeria in an attack meant to target contestants of the Miss World event. I also saw that Jack London and Aldous Huxley died on this day, in 1916 and 1963 respectively.

C.S. Lewis, Aldous Huxley, and John F. Kennedy all died on the same day, 22 Nov. 1963.

Doctor Who debuted in the UK on November 23, 1963. Also, tomorrow is the 47th anniversary of the "patsy" Oswald getting taken out by New Orleans red light entrepeneur Jack Ruby.

And I thought nothing exciting happened today.
BTW, nice avatar, kraken. I'm glad I'm not the only one here who watched Rocket Power. Forum Rules Red_Son: Bob Avakian is the Glenn Beck of communism. "Le prolétariat; c'est moi." - King Indigo XIV |
