I don't know why this came up again at my family's dinner table but it's worth a laugh, if you don't mind being laughed at. No one likes to be laughed at so I'll assume this thread will get absolutely no responses. When my little guy was 3ish I took him to the local water slides for a day of fun. Oh we had a ball all right. It was a great day with all the trimmings. Towards the end I was telling him we had to go after a couple more slides. On our way up I could hear little kids giggling but I...

There are groups in every corner of American society saying they want to know the truth, the truth about what happened on 911, the truth about the run up to the invasion of Iraq, the truth whether their Aunt May will be baking her fabled apple pie for this summer's reunion. In today's busybody age, information moves so fast it's hard to grapple what they mean. So let me introduce this site to you all. As you'll hopefully see, the site keeps references so that they are documented for all time,...

US personnel are being killed and gleefully dragged through the streets of Iraq's cities. These are civilians doing the dragging so one can't claim it's some enemy action or enemy induced. This is spontaneous reactions by Iraqi civilians who don't want the US in their country. No one ever claimed the Somalians actually welcomed the US. Why is the lie continuing about Iraq? The human cost is too much to continue like this. http://www.thememoryhole.org/war/wounded/ These pawns responded to t...

Now this is one brave ?silly? woman. But I can see her reasons for such a journey. How many people have gone through an empty city that 99.99999% of the planet refuse to go to or even go near? The quiet isolation of a once thriving loud busy city would be too much for some to bear. Can you stand being in a place where everywhere you look you should be hearing the loud sounds of the city? When you stand on a street looking at roads, apartments, houses, businesses, farms, plantations, vehicles....

I really can't explain or describe it. I love photos of things of long ago, of places and things that reek of history. I love pictures that evoke the reality that these places have stories of their own to tell; that they were once (living) entities bustling with sounds, people, events ie. everyday busy lives. Take the boatyard section. You can almost hear what the old ships are trying to convey, that they have a past full of history we will never ever know. It's like an old retirement home, w...

They say your choice of words says a lot about one's intelligence. That's an unfortunate reality. Read some of his comments in black and white with no backgrounds, no reporters, no nothing but the unadulterated choice of words of the man in the White House. "And today, I'm informing the prime minister that we're lifting the travel ban on Turkey. -- Which would have been a good thing if there had been a travel ban in the first place; unfortunately for Dubya, there wasn't, press conferenc...

"Everyone makes mistakes, but having ranks of soldiers and heavy weaponry at one's disposal can certainly make an error more dramatic". I love that title. It's so true, and of course we all love reading about blunders of all types. It covers the Italian cable car that was clipped by the US jet, the pilots whom, did all they could to hide their records and try avoid blame. Or Kennedy's betrayal over the Bay of Pigs fiasco. And the Iran Air passenger plane shot down by the US. killing scores o...

I love photography, of all types. one thing I love best about it is its ability to capture a moment in time and preserve it for all generations to see. I've never been to New York but we've all seen it through movies and tv shows and the like. New York has such a long fine history that its easy to forget how long its been the centre of the American way of life. Days of long ago are slowly being erased through time and this site aims to preserve the memory of New York's earlier days. If you li...
