August 9, 1945
While listening to CRI on 9650 at 1300 for some Olympic coverage I was reminded
that today, August 9, marks the 63rd anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki which finally brought WWII to a close. (Hiroshima was bombed on Aug. 6, 1945.) dxAce Michigan USA |

My dad's friend and fellow officer Kermit Beahan and his wife would visit our house from time to time. Major Beahan would play catch with me in the front yard, and I remember Mrs. Beahan helping my mom cook supper and sitting with me on the sofa. Kermit Beahan was the bombardier on Bock's Car, the plane that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. |

They also went on to point out every other "wrongdoing" that the United States has done in the past. Of course, Cuba is a communist country on the brink of self destruction, so one would only imagine the self denial they are in. B |

About a year ago, I read somewhere (I probally read about it at
www.rense.com) that World War Two didn't Officially end untill 1951.Other than that, I do not know. I only know what I read in the papers ~ Will Rogers. Will Rogers was a cantankerous old coot. cuhulin |

B - And, during 1944, Cuba wasn't looking at two Million casualties if it invaded japan. Just finished reading James Michners " tales of The South Pacific" http://www.amazon.com/Tales-South-Pa.../dp/0449206521 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_South_Pacific Early on, they describe Japanese broadcasts joyously describing the planned invasion and subsequent enslavement of New Zealand and how this will benefit Imperial japan. In the later chapters, an Invasion is described, in minute by minute detail. with the horrific casualties the Americans suffered. Its quite a book. Well worth reading. Thinking of The Olympics in China, and rabbi Yakov Spivacs broadcast about it on 7.415, WBCQ |

Took a while for the Soviet Union to crumble too. Just hang in there, you will see.Youre probably young enough to do that. B Huh? The Soviet Union crumble? I remember under a different monicker back in 01-02 (I think) I mentioned Russia in this group and there were a couple people in here that said "the Soviet Union was no more etc. etc. etc." really tried to make me look silly and I said then and I will say now - USSR is NOT dead- they never were- if one believes all that media crap years ago of "Russia is no more".........lol...tell the people in Georgia and more than likely next in a couple of years if the Soviets stay ****ed at us- then the Ukraine. What is it going to take to make people (that are mistaken) realize there was/is no demise of the Soviets. Not to get all biblical but the bible doesn't call for the demise of the Soviet Union- at least not now;-) They are/will be a *Major* player in end time prophecies. |

Surely they don't need all that that Border in order to keep the Americans Out? And where do all those Ottawa types get their US Cigarettes? Are some Canadians 'visitors' more equal than others? this is your brain on 'mike' |
