Today’s Thoughts
Ok, I guess spring came early this year. Record warm temps expected the
rest of the week. I just want some major moisture.
I guess the MAGA crowd is really wondering why our ‘allies’ aren’t joining
us in the American aggression in Iran. When Trump says NATO never helped us…review
the history of 9/11, they helped us by joining us in the Afghan mess. Our
allies were never informed of our plan to bomb, Trump has never liked NATO and
has made his opinion very public. Why would NATO help us in a war we started?
Real Hoaxes
The
Great Moon Hoax
In
1835, a New York newspaper ran sensational articles claiming scientists had
spotted life on the Moon. Readers were served “details” like lunar animals and
strange civilizations, and the story spread because it sounded exciting and
scientific. It was made up, but it sold papers and sparked public frenzy.
The Cardiff Giant
In 1869, workers “discovered” a ten-foot petrified man in New York, and crowds paid to gawk at it. The spectacle got so big that competing versions appeared, because capitalism never misses a chance. It was a carved creation, not a prehistoric body, but a lot of visitors really wanted it to be real.
