That Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed Officer Tippet and assassinated John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.
CuddlingSoul: Prohibition had nothing to do with getting people to stop drinking. Automobiles used alcohol for fuel and J.D Rockefeller wanted to stop the manufacturing of alcohol, so he could build his oil empire. He had the power and funds to stop the manufacturing of alcohol completely. During that time, America even had to import rubbing alcohol.
That's right. Rockefeller also had a lot to do with driving all the Holistic Healers out of business, forming the AMA, and making 'modern' medicine what it is today. Vaccines, drugs, and the entire Medical Industrial Complex is the biggest one. It affects the most people.
bodleing: Most people don't know that back in 1912 Hellman's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the "Titanic" was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after New York City.
Mexicans were crazy about the stuff.
The Mexican people were eagerly awaiting delivery and were disconsolate("desperados") at the loss. So much so that they declared a national day of mourning which they still observe today.
It is known, of course, as ...Cinko de Mayo.
