Thanks Maj Marty Hogan for sharing this day in history - November 22.
I liked the fact that in 1933 Walter Disney, creator of Silly Symphonies, was presented a diploma of commendation from the National Academy of Fine Arts of Buenos Aires, Argentina, for his biggest and latest hit, The Three Little Pigs.
The image of Greek prisoners being released in 1935 reminded me of my train ride through Yugoslavia nd Greece in 1981 where I saw the pillboxes and other fortifications with battle damage from the Greek Civil War. "With the triumph of the monarchists in the Greek plebiscite, it became possible to release the monarchist prisoners who had lain in gaol under the republican regime. The prisoners were hailed as heroes as they left the prisons, and were accorded salutes by military guards of honor."

The restoration of the Bourbon dynasty to rule Spain was a peaceful transfer of power from a fascist regime of Franco to the credentialed "ancient regime" of centuries past in the Iberian peninsula which is Europe's flank against the Muslim Moors and other Islamic hosts.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Was this the end of our Nation's innocence? I know we have periods that seemed like it, but this was televised. I know how the Nation reacted when Lincoln was assassinated through books- but the printed word does not have the impact of the visual story. Very sad indeed and wonder how our path would have been altered if he had lived.

Had he lived, the military industrial complex would have been pared down considerably. Consider the military industries that were "revitalized" by war in Vietnam. Bell was close to bankruptcy (oh look...LBJ is on the board of directors...) and had the war been cancelled (which Kennedy was planning) the enduring image of the Vietnam war (the Huey chopper) would be gone. It is also likely that the CIA as we know it would have been dismantled.

The significance of President Kennedy's assassination in 1963 reverberates into our contemporary times for American involvement in Asia's internecine civil wars accelerated. The Republic's armed forces have at least been blunted from participation in multiple armed conflicts in the last decades. Brain trusts have cracked over the issue of inter & intra tribal warfare in client states. Our problems as a nation are many but all are second behind the world shattering quagmire of nuclear armed states led by seriously dysfunctional psychotics. Hitler himself had the power of a super state to more solidly imprint his personal agenda of murder to so surpass the current cohort of murderous national leaders. Assad, the Ayatollah, and Kim Jong-in have light weight states incapable of serious power projection to so murder many more ethnic & tribal groups.
