The Boston Globe Goes Back in Time

Not exactly news, is it?

Let's see how far back they will take us.


"It was May 4, 1970, and the BU campus, like many across the country, had been roiling with protest since President Nixon had announced four days earlier that US forces were entering Cambodia. “I felt like the whole world had gone crazy,’’ Halperin — now Halperin-Epstein — said.

Had enough of that piece.

No protest these days.


"FBI investigated accused museum shooter in 1963" by Associated Press | April 21, 2010

The year JFK was murdered by the
Mossad.

WASHINGTON — James von Brunn, the white supremacist who died before he could stand trial in the shooting death of a security guard at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, first came to the FBI’s attention 47 years ago when he was accused of making a death threat over a business dispute.

Documents about the 1963 incident were released by the FBI this month in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. The episode provides an early glimpse of von Brunn as an angry man.

It's hard to keep that up; anger drains you.

In later years, he tried to kidnap members of the Federal Reserve board, a crime for which he spent more than four years in prison, and became a virulent white supremacist who published racist and anti-Semitic rants.

So he was working for the FBI then?

Last June 10, according to charges that were still pending when he died in January, he walked up to the Holocaust museum in Washington and opened fire, killing a guard. Von Brunn denied making the threat in 1963, and the US attorney’s office in Maryland declined to prosecute....

FBI must have paid them a visit.

"Cold War pilot’s son on own mission in Russia; American hopes to prevent history from repeating" by Vladimir Isachenkov and Lynn Berry, Associated Press | May 1, 2010

MOSCOW — In the months before US pilot Francis Gary Powers’s plane was downed, Moscow and Washington had been moving cautiously toward a thaw. The U-2 incident shattered these efforts.

It also humiliated President Eisenhower, who had to admit that an initial claim by his administration that the plane was on a weather mission was a lie....

I guess the Globe can use the word after 50 years.

Yup, YOUR GOVERNMENT was LYING WAY BACK WHEN, America.

One starts to wonder when it was not.

The pilot’s 44-year-old son, Francis Gary Powers Jr., said his father’s fateful mission was the 24th overflight of the Soviet Union in a highly secretive CIA program that was considered vital for national security at a time before spy satellites.

You know, like the drones we have zipping all over the place now.

Among many other Soviet secrets, the previous flights had revealed that Soviet long-range bomber and intercontinental nuclear missile programs were not as advanced as feared, allowing the US to avoid an immediate costly buildup of its own forces.

Yeah, always being lied to about the strength of the "enemy," too.

So they saved the costly buildup for later, 'eh?

After nearly four years of unsuccessful Soviet attempts to intercept the U-2s flying at about 70,000 feet, the CIA grew confident of the plane’s immunity to Soviet defenses.

That usually is when the fall comes.

But the Soviets worked desperately to develop higher-flying fighter jets and a powerful new air defense missile.

And now they are talking missile defense again.

How little has changed in 50 years.

"Fallen in 1940, still remembered; Mass in Chelsea honors 21,000 Poles massacred during WWII by Soviets in Katyn" by Jeannie Nuss, Globe Correspondent | April 26, 2010

Jozef Szczypek was one of 150 Polish-Americans who gathered for a Mass to honor the victims of the 1940 killings of 21,000 Poles by Soviet troops in the Katyn forest in western Russia.

Also see: Everyone Always Blames the Nazis

I'm not a fan or anything; I'm just fascinated by the misrepresentations of history and all I learned in school.

The massacre became the focus of worldwide attention after a plane carrying Poland’s President Lech Kaczynski and 95 other dignitaries crashed two weeks ago on the way to a commemoration of the event.

Yeah, people are starting to ask questions:

Did Global Elite Kill Polish President Kaczynski?

Now half the Polish government has died.–How likely is it that this was an accident?

Polish People Not So Stupid

I must be losing it; I really thought it was an accident.

I should know better.

But Katyn is just one tragic chapter of the Soviet occupation of Poland....

"Battle of Lexington among flurry of Patriots Day rituals; Reenactment joins Sox game, Marathon run" by John M Guilfoil and Brock Parker, Globe Staff | Globe Correspondent | April 20, 2010

The Battle of Lexington was reenacted.

Anybody tell 'em they are needed for real wars, not playtime?


The Marathon was run in record time.

Yeah, but don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes.


The Red Sox were soundly beaten by the Rays . . . again.

The annual rituals of Patriots Day began at dawn yesterday, as throngs of people fixed their gazes on actors reenacting the famous skirmish between British soldiers and the Lexington Minutemen that started the Revolutionary War.

We have lost the meaning.

Any Americans realize we are the British now?

That the Empire is US?

While historians debate who fired the shot heard round the world to begin the American Revolution, there’s no doubt who fires first at the battle’s annual reenactment....

Of course, there are somethings you can not debate.

Might even get thrown into jail or fined for it.

Over at Fenway Park, the Tampa Bay Rays again defeated a struggling Red Sox team that has dropped five straight games. In the only highlight, Jeremy Hermida hit a 2-run home run for the Sox.

You know, I don't care.

Don't you have a section for that stuff?

Self-serving slop passing itself off as news.

But then again, SPORTS = PRO-WAR!!

Thus the agenda is advanced from all angles.

“They got blown out,’’ said Alex McKeown, 20, a senior at Boston University. “It’s bad.’’

Yeah, they suck this year.

McKeown, who watched the Boston Marathon from Beacon Street with Lauren Hansen, a BU junior, said he did not stop to ponder the Revolutionary War yesterday.

“It’s Marathon Monday here,’’ he said. “It’s not Patriots Day so much.’’

No wonder the country is in such horrible shape.

"Minuteman marcher dies of cardiac arrest en route to parade" by Hannah McBride, Globe Correspondent | April 20, 2010

True to his gregarious and generous nature, Neil Hill, 61, wearing his tricorn hat and carrying his musket, had stopped to take a photograph with a passerby while marching with the Bedford Minuteman Company to join the Patriots Day Parade in Concord yesterday morning.

Moments later, Hill collapsed before he could catch up with his company, apparently suffering a heart attack.

MEDIC!!!!!!

Officials found the man in cardiac arrest around 7:30 a.m., Bedford Fire Chief David Grunes said. He was transported to Emerson Hospital, where he was pronounced dead....

Sigh.
