Ukraine just can’t catch a break. Shitty place be to be on the map.

Kate Speck wrote her own obituary? That’s historic.

I found this guy while looking up the history of John "Liver-Eating" Johnson

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boone_Helm

Levi Boone Helm (January 28, 1828 – January 14, 1864) was a mountain man and gunfighter of the American West known as the Kentucky Cannibal. Helm was a serial killer who gained his nickname for his opportunistic and unrepentant proclivity for the consumption of human flesh taken from the bodies of enemies and traveling companions. While this was usually done in survival situations, Helm sometimes took flesh in preparation for a survival situation.

...

When the executioner approached Helm, he allegedly exclaimed "Every man for his principles! Hurrah for Jeff Davis! Let 'er rip!" and then jumped off of the hangman's box before it could be kicked away.[4] Boone Helm is buried in Boot Hill cemetery, Virginia City.

Site- R "Raven's Rock"

... amongst the various Cold-War bunkers built by the US Govt, Site-R remains one of my favorites. Unlike Cheyenne Mountain and the Greenbriar Bunker it's not on 'Myth-busters' or The National Geographic channel every other week.
Completed in 1953 and located in rural Pennsylvania speculation remains as to upgrades it has received over the years. Is it the HUCC (Hardened Underground Command Center)? Which means 'super-duper' hardened. Cut to scene of The President brushing the rock dust off his shoulders, shaking his fist at the ceiling and yelling "... 50 megatons, is that all 'ya got!"

We do know, from this nifty photo that Boris and Natasha provided, that mainly black or white SUVs and pick-up trucks are parked there. Except for the yellow Prius that probably belongs to that 'pinko' down in research!

Great grandfather was an Austro-Hungarian officer on that front. I've got a copy of his record courtesy of the archives in Vienna, but it's faded and in gothic script so we can't make out too many details. His 14 combat medals were taken by the Soviet Army when they took Vienna in 1945, but he managed to hide his saber - I've had it for 40 years as the only grandson of his only son. I do know that he contracted typhus on the Galician front and spent most of 1916 in the hospital before being reassigned to the Italian front

Those retard Hapsburgs should have given away their crappy little empire and saved the world a lot of trouble.

CSB Tim. I’ve been inside Cheyenne Mountain. Saw lots of *REDACTED* and *REDACTED*. Also talked to a guy about *REDACTED* technology.

Hopefully @NSA_Dawg approves of my redactions.

Franz Ferdinand wanted to power-share with the Slavs like they were doing with the Hungarians, which was one of the reasons the radical Serbs wanted him dead

Great grandfather had been decommissioned in 1913 after twelve years of service; they brought him back when the war started. By 1918 he was one of the most decorated soldiers in the army and Kaiser Karl had personally awarded him with one of the later combat medals. After the war he became a local police chief somewhere in the Vienna suburbs, probably Hietzing, and died in 1937 supposedly of a broken heart after his youngest daughter Lily committed suicide
