I wonder how long these stories are going to continue. We now know the people died in the sub when it imploded. 30 or 40 years ago, that would have ended the story. But in our content-driven media world where there are hundreds of news sources with an insatiable need for content, we get stories about how it must have felt like when the sub imploded. This isn’t news. Its macabre clickbait. They were thrill-seekers taking a significant risk that turned out catastrophically bad. End of story.

It’s like the Eagles’ Don Henley song “Dirty Laundry” from 1982!.............

Dirty Laundry Lyrics

**************************************************************

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry

Well, I could’ve been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry

Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em all around

We got the bubble-headed bleach-blonde who comes on at five
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It’s interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out what’s going on
You don’t really want to know just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone, keep your dirty laundry

Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re stiff, kick ‘em all around

(Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down)
(Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down)
(Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down)
(Kick ‘em when they’re stiff, kick ‘em all around)

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pie
Love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing
When it’s said and done, we haven’t told you a thing
We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry

(Kick ‘em when they’re up, kick ‘em when they’re down)...

Nobody past the Baby Boomers Generation has knowledge of the ACTUAL History of the World !!!

It's not taught in schools anymore. Instead they are fed by shovel used to clean out a cat's litter box !!!

They know nothing about True AMERICAN HISTORY, any War other than the War on drugs.

If they are told about: The American Revolutionary War, American Civil War, War of 1812, WW I, WW II, Korean War, Cold War, The loss of the USS THRESHER, the 1st Submarine to Implode. All 129 of the Crew and Shipyard Employees aboard the Thresher all knew what was going to happen before it did due to several problems that they could not resolve. The Space Race in which we lost The Crew of Apollo 1 and it took 17 seconds for them to die.

Then they are told Revisionist history. Things like America started WW II by bombing the Japanese with a Nuclear Weapon, that the American Civil War was about slavery, President Donald J. Trump is hitler and anyone who even remotely likes Him are nazi's. When in reality the Uniparty fake Republicans are no different from Demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminazipedophilegoatrapers are communists and they have a real nazi's are nazipelouzy and upchucky schlepter.

There was a show last night about those kids lost in the Amazon for 40 days. I had planned to record it but forgot. In looking at the synopsis the show was put out by TMZ and had lots of weird theories that the kids weren’t really out there, government conspiracies, etc.

Les Stroud (Survivorman) was interviewed by some news outfit early-on when the kids were still lost. The oldest (girl, 13 years old) had some experience in the jungle going out with older villagers to get food, etc. He thought that with her experience they should be able to survive for quite awhile.
