The Coming Civil War In South Africa

newtboy says...

Neofacist Africaners changed their name?
Suidlanders started in 06, race baiting and warning of the impending race war ever since, their platform based on prophecies from pre 1926 by a cowardly illiterate uneducated rebel German sympathizer from WW1.
Good job, Bob. You reposted some racist propaganda repeating >92 year old warnings of impending race wars.
Your mom must be so proud.

Cassowary attacks

Cassowaries have a reputation in folklore for being dangerous to people and domestic animals. During World War II American and Australian troops stationed in New Guinea were warned to steer clear of them. In his book Living Birds of the World from 1958, ornithologist Ernest Thomas Gilliard wrote:

The inner or second of the three toes is fitted with a long, straight, murderous nail which can sever an arm or eviscerate an abdomen with ease. There are many records of natives being killed by this bird.

This assessment of the danger posed by cassowaries has been repeated in print by authors including Gregory S. Paul (1988) and Jared Diamond (1997). A 2003 historical study of 221 cassowary attacks showed that 150 had been against humans. 75% of these had been from cassowaries that had been fed by people. 71% of the time the bird had chased or charged the victim. 15% of the time they kicked. Of the attacks, 73% involved the birds expecting or snatching food, 5% involved defending natural food sources, 15% involved defending themselves from attack, and 7% involved defending their chicks or eggs. The 150 attacks included only one human death.

The one documented human death was caused by a cassowary on 6 April 1926. 16-year-old Phillip McClean and his brother, aged 13, came across a cassowary on their property and decided to try to kill it by striking it with clubs. The bird kicked the younger boy, who fell and ran away as his older brother struck the bird. The older McClean then tripped and fell to the ground. While he was on the ground the cassowary kicked him in the neck, opening a 1.25 cm (0.49 in) wound which may have severed his jugular vein. The boy died of his injuries shortly afterwards.

Worlds Oldest Dash Cam 1926 + "The Naked Gun" Theme

"Bad traffic jams force use of sidewalks" .....in Mexico City as well as in 1926 NYC. Fast forward to 2013, and you still take the sidewalk option in Mexico City. The only reason NYC doesn't still have this problem is that it's cost-prohibitive to most to own a vehicle there.

Is this the Worlds OLDEST Dash Cam Footage ?

Here's what wiki has to say about Ford and his high wages -- that he called profit sharing for qualified workers. Started in 1914. By the Great Depression, no more profits, I guess, and therefore no more high wages:

Ford was a pioneer of "welfare capitalism", designed to improve the lot of his workers and especially to reduce the heavy turnover that had many departments hiring 300 men per year to fill 100 slots. Efficiency meant hiring and keeping the best workers.[20]

Ford astonished the world in 1914 by offering a $5 per day wage ($120 today), which more than doubled the rate of most of his workers.[21] A Cleveland, Ohio newspaper editorialized that the announcement "shot like a blinding rocket through the dark clouds of the present industrial depression."[22] The move proved extremely profitable; instead of constant turnover of employees, the best mechanics in Detroit flocked to Ford, bringing their human capital and expertise, raising productivity, and lowering training costs.[23][24] Ford announced his $5-per-day program on January 5, 1914, raising the minimum daily pay from $2.34 to $5 for qualifying workers. It also set a new, reduced workweek, although the details vary in different accounts. Ford and Crowther in 1922 described it as six 8-hour days, giving a 48-hour week,[25] while in 1926 they described it as five 8-hour days, giving a 40-hour week.[26] (Apparently the program started with Saturdays as workdays and sometime later it was changed to a day off.)

Detroit was already a high-wage city, but competitors were forced to raise wages or lose their best workers.[27] Ford's policy proved, however, that paying people more would enable Ford workers to afford the cars they were producing and be good for the economy. Ford explained the policy as profit-sharing rather than wages.[28] It may have been Couzens who convinced Ford to adopt the $5 day.[29]

The profit-sharing was offered to employees who had worked at the company for six months or more, and, importantly, conducted their lives in a manner of which Ford's "Social Department" approved. They frowned on heavy drinking, gambling, and what might today be called "deadbeat dads". The Social Department used 50 investigators, plus support staff, to maintain employee standards; a large percentage of workers were able to qualify for this "profit-sharing."

Ford's incursion into his employees' private lives was highly controversial, and he soon backed off from the most intrusive aspects. By the time he wrote his 1922 memoir, he spoke of the Social Department and of the private conditions for profit-sharing in the past tense, and admitted that "paternalism has no place in industry. Welfare work that consists in prying into employees' private concerns is out of date. Men need counsel and men need help, oftentimes special help; and all this ought to be rendered for decency's sake. But the broad workable plan of investment and participation will do more to solidify industry and strengthen organization than will any social work on the outside. Without changing the principle we have changed the method of payment."[30]

Corporate-Run Schools Will Provide New Sources of Revenue

If we could get a group of elementary school kids from 1926 in a classroom today they'd out-test the teacher (indoctrinator).


This is probably untrue due the the fact that the Intelligence Quotient keeps being revised upwards and not downwards. Some of those kids today would be considered legally retarded.

Applying Deweyite school principles of schools today though would be a major change that we con enact and would make our education system better.

Corporate-Run Schools Will Provide New Sources of Revenue

I have a wacky idea: Change one simple dynamic in public education and the rest takes care of itself~Teach children how to learn instead of what to learn. Public education in the United States has become an overt assault on critical thought.

If we could get a group of elementary school kids from 1926 in a classroom today they'd out-test the teacher (indoctrinator). Public education overhaul Mitt? Your simply popping spit like any politician. Get a life that doesn't involve lies spewing from your mouth with every exhalation. You too, Obama-Yer a tool like all of them are.

Lazy, like the videosifter who starts to transcribe, gives up, goes straight to google, and doesn't check the whole list

Well spotted.
In reply to this comment by MonkeySpank:
The Wikipedia entry is wrong:

"Parmi nos articles de quincaillerie par essence paresseuse, nous recommandons le robinet qui s'arrête de couler quand on ne l'écoute pas."

Frame at 5:30 states paresseuse, meaning lazy, not par essence.

which translates loosely to:

Among our articles of lazy kitchenware, we recommend the faucet that stops leaking when nobody listens to it.

From Jimbo's big bag'o'trivia, the text is:


  • "Bains de gros thé pour grains de beauté sans trop de bengué."
  • "L'enfant qui tète est un souffleur de chair chaude et n'aime pas le chou-fleur de serre-chaude."
  • "Si je te donne un sou, me donneras-tu une paire de ciseaux?"
  • "On demande des moustiques domestiques (demi-stock) pour la cure d'azote sur la côte d'azur."
  • "Inceste ou passion de famille, à coups trop tirés."
  • "Esquivons les ecchymoses des Esquimaux aux mots exquis."
  • "Avez-vous déjà mis la moëlle de l'épée dans le poêle de l'aimée?"
  • "Parmi nos articles de quincaillerie par essence, nous recommandons le robinet qui s'arrête de couler quand on ne l'écoute pas."
  • "L'aspirant habite Javel et moi j'avais l'habite en spirale."

It's all puns and wordplay, like the title itself which is a palindrome.

Quoted from Wiki:
In 1926 Sanger gave a lecture on birth control to the women's auxiliary of the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey.[13] She described it as "one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing," and added that she had to use only "the most elementary terms, as though I were trying to make children understand."[13] Sanger's talk was well-received by the group and as a result "a dozen invitations to similar groups were proffered."

Sounds like she was one of them alright.

Top 30 Failed Technology Predictions (Science Talk Post)

rasch187 says...

5. “To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth – all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances.
— Lee DeForest, American radio pioneer and inventor of the vacuum tube, in 1926

Spoken like a true visionary. This was *quality stuff.
