Thank you, Gary Webb for all your sacrifices and your tireless effort to get the truth out there for all to see and hear. Unfortunately we live in a world where most people have short term memories and are easily led astray by political bullshit. We have even given them a name, Sheeple. The rest of us have picked up the ball and kept it moving as best we can because we believe you.

We know you spoke the truth. We know to ask questions and not just accept what we are told to be gospel.

RIP, Gary Webb

We know.

Craig Castaldo is Radio Man (or Radioman), a formerly homeless man in New York City who has become famous (kinda) by making over 100 cameo appearances in films and TV shows. He is known as "Radio Man" due to the radio he often wears around his neck.

His first cameo occurred when he was asked to move so that a shot could be filmed at his newsstand. When he refused, he ended up in the scene. He began visiting movie sets in 1989, starting with The Fisher King. He was able to locate film sets with the help of Teamsters or by finding "No Parking" signs that indicate an upcoming shoot.

A diving horse is an attraction that was popular in the mid-1880s, in which a horse would dive into a pool of water, sometimes from as high as 60 feet. Here are some genuine photos of the exhibitions!

Platforms were as high as 60 feet! (18.3m) that’s 2x taller than the highest Olympic diving board!

Did you know that Hitler's private train was named after America?
The train was originally named Führersonderzug "Amerika", purportedly because Hitler wanted to pay homage to the European conquest of the Americas. After Germany declared war on the United States, on 31 January 1943 the train was renamed to the Führersonderzug "Brandenburg".

When Hitler traveled in Amerika

Facilities in the train
The train joined the Nazi transportation in 1940. It had 12 cars. One private car which housed Hitler had a climate control system which was a huge comfort of that time. The train had a kitchen served by Hitler’s favorite chef and there were separate rooms for Hitler’s cabinet. The communication with the outside world went uninterrupted with a telegraph line. Engima machines were also available in the train to coding and decoding of confidential data between the German Army and the cabinet

Security for the train
The train had anti-aircraft guns, Batteries and an entire SS division dedicated to safeguarding the train. There was a soldier ever 100 meters of the train travel to make sure the tracks were not sabotaged which can cause significant damage to the train. The logbooks of the station through which the train passes were burned so that there is no evidence where Amerika is going. Whenever Amerika is taking a break it is planned near a tunnel so that if there is an Arial attack the train is driven into the tunnel for safety.
