The First "9/11" Happened 53 Years Ago Today in Chile

C0RI0LANUS — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 01:39:51 -0400

On this day 53 years ago, CIA-backed General Augusto Pinochet overthrew the democratically elected government of socialist Salvador Allende in Chile, leading to the deaths of an estimated 40,018 innocent victims during his 17 year Reign of Terror, including Nobel Prize laureate Pablo Neruda. Ten years prior on 2 Nov 1963, CIA overthrew the notorious Ngo Dinh Diem in Saigon, South Vietnam. Exactly 28 years to the day after the bloody coup d'etat to prevent the nationalization of two enormous US copper mining companies in Chile, CIA-trained mujahadin based in Afghanistan conducted a kamikaze mega-attack on America, resulting in the deaths of 2,977 victims in the World Trade Center in NYC, the Pentagon, and a crash site in Pennsylvania.

In Chile, the Bosch kept busy rounding up defenseless victims of "the first 9/11."

The Reality Behind Ike's 1961 Farewell Speech and the HUAC

C0RI0LANUS — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 17:57:41 -0400

Following the fall of the Third Reich, US Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower and US Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr instituted a plan to De-Nazify the massive German industrial base. But the efforts of their ardent investigators, auditors, and analysts were stifled, halted, and blunted every step of the way. Opposed by Wall Street, US banks, corporations, and the oligarchs, as well as US Army General George S. Patton, the vast post-war German industrial base remained basically intact and rebuilt as a bulwark against Soviet Russia and a source of steady future profits for American and West German elites.

"The Fraternity" fought this plan tooth-and-nail.

Happy 60th Birthday to Star Trek (8 Sep 1966)

C0RI0LANUS — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 13:33:18 -0400

Star Trek was first broadcast in Canada on 6 Sep 1966 on CTV network, two days ahead of the US premier.

Dr Martin Luther King Jr personally requested Nichelle Williams (Lt Nyota Uhura) to remain on Star Trek as he thought it was important for all Americans to see a Woman of Color in a role of responsibility as part of the civil rights movement.

Americans witnessed the first kiss on TV between a white and black person: "Plato's Stepchildren."

In the US, aircraft registration numbers beginning with "NC" were historically used, just like the NCC-1707.

The future that creator Gene Roddenberry envisioned a multi-racial "UN" as the crew; however, there were no visible Arabs, Muslims, Jews, Indians, or LGBTQ aboard the USS Enterprise.

Genetically-enginereed villain Khan Noonian Singh -- played by the handsome Ricardo Montalban -- as a Sikh would have adorned a turban for his long uncut hair, a kada on his right wrist, and a beard.

Trumpf Junta Wants to Immediately Fire 29 Trans Soldiers

C0RI0LANUS — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 04:31:21 -0400

The cruel and inhuman monsters of the abominable Trumpf junta have filed an urgent appeal with the Supreme Court seeking the immediate removal of 29 active-duty service members who are transgender -- even before their case challenging the Pentagon ban goes to trial in January 2027 -- lying that the matter is somehow of "exceptional importance."

Transgender and LGBTQ+ servicemembers risk their lives for America, just like any other servicemember. Can you tell whether these three are transgender?

RW Radio: "Michelle Obama a steaming heap of nastiness"

C0RI0LANUS — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 01:44:33 -0400

Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM radio talk show bleating at fellow far-right gorgon Jesse Kelly about FLOTUS Michelle Obama: "Just get a divorce ... . Like, the children are grown. Get a divorce ... She's not capable of loving [Barack Obama]. And how can he love just this steaming heap of nastiness? Like, no one's in love with a steaming heap of negativity ... ."

Megyn Kelly is not a good human being. If this strumpet ever looked in the mirror she would learn what the rest of the world already knows about her

JD Vance: "We're about to celebrate the 25th year of 9/11"

C0RI0LANUS — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 00:58:13 -0400

VPOTUS JD Vance (R) -- a former US Marine and graduate of Yale Law School -- rallied a mob of MAGA voters in Michigan to support AIPAC pod-person Mike Rogers (R-MI) in his uphill senatorial campaign against Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI): "We're about to celebrate the 25th year of 9/11."

Celebrate?

WY: GOP Gov Concerned About USDOJ Election Monitors

C0RI0LANUS — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 19:32:05 -0400

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) expressed concern over how election monitors from the US Justice Department observed the state's primaries last week, saying it was "aggressive" and "irregular." "I have asked the attorney general to start looking into, you know, kind of the nature of the visits and all that sort of stuff," he bleated.

Why Red State AIPAC-secure Wyoming?

Fake Jew Wants to Deport Harmless Muslims from US

C0RI0LANUS — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 19:03:10 -0400

Indubitably, the ultimate disgrace to Judaism, hatemonger Ben Shapiro, braying on his vile podcast: "The West brings it upon itself. It is all blowback always and forever. And this is the prevailing view for people like [Dr Abdul] El-Sayed (D-MI). It is the prevailing view for [Hasan] Piker, for [Young Turk] Cenk Uygur, for Zohran Mamdani (D-NY), and now for a Democratic Party that has decided that they must fellow travel with these people and basically agree with them ... None of the people I just mentioned should be in the country. None of them."

Ben Shapiro is neither a good Jew nor is he a good human being. No question about it whatsoever.

See comments section below for Doug Wilson's blither-blather.

RFK Jr: "Patients in Hospice Care Taking Too Long to Die"

C0RI0LANUS — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 23:30:45 -0400

Health and Inhumane Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr complained that dying patients who are in hospice care for more than three months must be scamming the system. POTUS Jimmy Carter was in hospice care for nearly two years. RFK Jr himself has been brain dead since 1995. And where in the wide world of sports is US Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY)?

The muscular RFK Jr should test himself to see whether he can survive jumping off Trumpf Tower

"Copland" (1997 Film)

C0RI0LANUS — Sun, 30 Aug 2026 22:58:12 -0400

At a BBQ this past weekend someone couldn't make it, so the three of us didn't play cards after the delicious repast. No sweat: Plenty of "wine, women, and song" to go around. Fitutzing around at the TV set to find "song," my friend came accoss Copland on the screen. "I never saw that," he remarked. "Me too," chimed my second companion. "Really?" asked I. Breaking a personal rule, I suggested that the three of us watch this star-studded gritty tale of redemption, vengeance, racism, philandering, the mafia, and corruption within the NYPD. Needless to say, my friends were thoroughly entertained. The slightly long Copland contains subtle and not-so subtle homages to other films and works, to include Stalag 13, Hamlet, It's a Wonderful Life, High Noon, The Bonfire of the Vanities, and The Gauntlet.
