chronology: Mr Biden to lift Transgender Ban on joining the United State's military.

The ban imposed by Mr Trump in 2017 is said to be lifted soon allowing Transgender volunteers to join the military.

20 nation's already allow Transgender person's to serve in their military. Studies of the effects of allowing Trans people to join the services have found no Extra costs or effects on morall. Most service personnel tend to group together in peer groups of commonly held social backgrounds and interest's etc. So Trans people are expected to simply follow the trends of other service members and group together among fellow Trans.

Some U.S. Veterans groups have been active in supporting Trans in being allowed to join the military, but in reality the issue is of little interest to most service personnel.

chronology: Yikes.

Great Britain is looking at the biggest economic slump in 300 year's. Covid, and Brexit have combined to send the value of the British Economy crashing. The Bank of England says the economy is seeing a record level of decline, the worst in 300 year's.

And even more bad news for England is that Scotland is determined to hold another Independence Vote this year that will see Scotland leave the UK.

Well is there any good news at all for England? Not really. Waves of people are leaving England after Brexit, and even more people are preparing to emigrate if Scotland leaves the UK.

Britain's economic crash is three time's worse than the USA. So how did America weather the storm and Britain sink like a stone? Economists point to the robust nature of American business, while much of Britain's Business has headed out of the country post Brexit. Also the USA is still a rock solid Union, American's have no plans to take any Star's out of the Stars and Stripes. Business likes security and confidence. Being in a country breaking apart is major cause of loss of business confidence.

Curiously, most folks in England are pretty Zen about the end of Britain and catastrophic decline of England. People are drinking more booze than before the Covid lockdown, and Online gambling is more popular than ever.

chronology: Holocaust Remembrance Day a time of frustration for many Jewish people.

January 27th is Holocaust Remembrance Day, but for many Jewish people it is a time when they recall injustice, not just from the past, but in the post War year's as well.

During the NSDAP period in Germany hundreds of thousands of Jewish people were imprisoned in concentration camps. All their homes and businesses and jobs were taken away and Jews were subjected to slave labour in the camps.

After the end of the war, West Germany engaged in a repetitions programme that saw Jewish people compensated for their financial losses and the trauma they experienced in the detention camps.

But East Germany refused to pay any compensation to Jewish survivors of the detention camps. The Communist ruler's of the country allowed West Germany to settle restitution with Jewish families. West Germany has been outstanding in it's record of caring and compassionate settlement. But from East Germany there was no payments for trauma or slave labour to Jewish families.

In 1990 the end of communism in East Germany brought promises of restitution and engagement with Israel about recovery of property for Jewish victims. But today many people in Israel lament that real restitution never happened. East Germany is estimated to owe 17 Billion dollars to Jewish survivors.

Some Jewish people recall the sad post war year's of the Iron Curtain. But some in Israel still hope they can recover the lost compensation.

Some extreme Right Wing groups in Europe argue Jewish people are not entitled to compensation. They argue that the Allied stories of Homocidal Gas chambers were propaganda. But the compensation for Jewish families is not connected to the Allied claims of mass murder. It is a well founded Legal principal of State Authorities accepting liability for any harm befalling prisoners in their detention or wrongful detention. Jewish people have clearly demonstrated their just claim to compensation, which West Germany paid, but East Germany did not.

chronology: Yikes, Indian Farmer's are furious.

Ten's of thousands of Indian Farmer's have driven tractor's into Delhi in Mass Protests against Farm Produce Price Reform. Up until 2020 Indian Farmer's were guaranteed a minimum price for their Farm goods. But new Government Regulations have deregulated Farm Produce Price's and Farmers say that they cannot live on the prices they receive for their harvests.

In the last 2 year's 20000 farmer's have committed suicide, and while India has enjoyed a booming Economy over the past few decades with growing standard's of living for many, Farmer's have seen record numbers of Farmer's going into debt and forced into a hopeless situation.

The Government has stated that the deregulation of Farm Produce Price's simplifies the agricultural market's. But Farmers say it is making what is already a Crisis for Farmers into a Catastrophe.

From England to the USA farmers over the past decades have also faced a situation where farmer's simply cannot grow food at the prices they receive for their crops. But in India Farmers are dieing in shocking numbers from stress related suicide.

'Robots' many wealthy Arabian folk's love winning Camal races, and the key to winning races is is to have super light Jockies. Small Robot's with riding whips ride the Camels. The Robots weigh less than a toaster, and have small speakers so the Camel owner's can cheer on their beloved Camels.

Hey wireclubers, some Arabian rich folks have car collections worth over 200 million dollars, but nothing warms their heart's like watching their Camals win a race. So Robots are popular Jockies if their light weight allows success at the races.

Blackshoes: The Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen is an intervention launched by Saudi Arabia on 26 March 2015, leading a coalition of nine countries from West Asia and North Africa, in response to calls from the pro-Saudi[68] president of Yemen Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi for military support after he was ousted by the Houthi movement due to economic and political grievances, and fled to Saudi Arabia.[69]

Code-named Operation Decisive Storm (Arabic: عملية عاصفة الحزم‎ Amaliyyat 'Āṣifat al-Ḥazm), the intervention initially consisted of a bombing campaign on Houthi rebels and later a naval blockade and the deployment of ground forces into Yemen.[70] The Saudi-led coalition has attacked the positions of the Houthi militia, and loyalists of the former President of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh, allegedly supported by Iran (see Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict).[71][69]

Fighter jets and ground forces from Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Academi (formerly called Blackwater) took part in the operation. Djibouti, Eritrea, and Somalia made their airspace, territorial waters, and military bases available to the coalition.[72] The United States provided intelligence and logistical support, including aerial refueling and search-and-rescue for downed coalition pilots.[13][73] It also accelerated the sale of weapons to coalition states[74] and continued strikes against AQAP. The US and Britain have deployed their military personnel in the command and control centre responsible for Saudi-led air strikes on Yemen, having access to lists of targets.[75][76][77]

The war received widespread criticism and had a dramatic worsening effect on Yemen's humanitarian situation, that reached the level of a "humanitarian disaster"[23] or "humanitarian catastrophe",[78][79][80] and many have labelled it as a genocide.[81][82][83] The question of whether or not the intervention is in compliance with Article 2(4) of the UN Charter has been the matter of academic dispute.[84][85][86]

The conflict's status was described a "military stalemate" in 2019.[87] The global COVID-19 pandemic is said to have given Saudi Arabia an opportunity to review its interests in Yemen.[88] In early 2020 it was said that Saudi Arabia was searching for an exit strategy, amid the Covid-19 pandemic and military defeats.[8

chronology: It's Russian, definitely.

In 2015 Swedish Diver's discovered a small submarine wreck off the coast of Sweden. Swedish Navy Authorities have 100pc zero tolerance for submarines violating their territorial waters so they were hot on the job of identifying the sub.

They were surprised to find it was Russian, Moscow had insisted it knew nothing about the sub. On closer inspection however Swedish Diver's discovered it was a small submarine of the Imperial Russian Navy. It had sunk in 1916. Russian Diving Teams offered their help in inspecting the sub which they identified as the'Catfish' which went missing in 1916 with the loss of 18 crew members.

Swedish historians reckon the sub collided with a Swedish Ship and sank. But no one has explained what the sub was doing in Swedish waters. The Russian Revolution happened in 1917. And around that time Billion of dollars in gold vanished from Russia. But if some of those Billions of dollars of gold Bar's were on the Catfish they were not found by diver's.

Still if the Swedes did find heaps of Gold it would have been claimed by Moscow.

chronology: It's Romanian definitely.

During the First World War in Europe, Romanian Authorities were trying to find the safest place to stash the national wealth. Priceless Art Treasure and Tons of Gold worth around 2 Billion dollars.

The United States and London were seen as the safest places to store the wealth. But there were a lot of U-boats between Romania and New York City.

Romania was also unwilling to insult it's old friends in Russia by not depositing the gold and treasure in Russia. So one day a train chug chuged East with the huge stash of treasure. Romania has never seen it since, despite it being held in Russia.

So did Russia and Rumania not agree on returning the treasure?

Well they had a big time fall out in WW1 and Russia has been holding a grudge ever since.

To this day the gold sits in Russia. Mr Putin has set up a commission to resolve the disagreement.

It is possible that Russia may have used the gold as guarantee for loans in the past. But given Russia is among the richest countries in the world today they don't need a pile of gold to back up any loan's.

The United States Government has reacted with shock after hearing of the clearing of four men convicted of the murder of Jewish American Daniel Pearl. Mr Pearl's beheading video made by sadistic killer's shocked the world in 2002.

But according to people in Pakistan's Legal Community the conviction of the four men were never secure. One Pakistani Security Official said he tried to explain to senior prosecutors that the convictions would never stand up under an Appeal Court Review but he was ignored.

For Americans there is at least some comfort at the moment in report's that the real killer of Daniel Pearl is in American custody in Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility. The man was identified year's later as Mr Pearl's killer.

But for some Americans at least, they are convinced that the real killer's of Mr Pearl have just been set free. And they are not happy about that.

At an airport in Thailand a Pilot was parked up in his jet waiting for take off. He looked across at a nearby airplane walkway and noticed crowd's of people walking along a embarking walkway from an aircraft. One problem, there was no airplane. The people just seemed to mysteriously appear walking along the walkway.

The Pilot was mystified by what he videod, but he has no opinion about what he recorded. Hey wireclubers, only pilot's could video dozens of ghost's and shrug them off as nothing worth thinking about.

Were they ghost's wireclubers? Well people who know a lot about airports say what you are seeing is just reflection's from a nearby corridor. Other people say that the passenger's were really stood out of sight at the end of the walkway but just started walking back when told they were at the wrong place.

Sceptics love this story wireclubers. As they say it shows all ghost stories are just people seeing reflection's or misunderstanding what they see.

But Lawmakers in Canada have begun procedures to declare the Proud Boys a Terror Group. And that would mean a ban from visiting Canada.

Proud Boy's often complain they are not terrorists, they say that they are the first to lend assistance to any police officer under attack from left wing demonstrators and prevent muggings during demonstration's.
But in places like Washington State and Oregon Lawmakers have denounced the intimidation of demonstrators by groups like the Proud Boy's as preventing Free Speech. Lawmakers explain that people walking up to people expressing their view's and getting in their face is preventing normal political life in America.

Well to some, the Proud Boy's are heroes and Super Patriot's, but soon they may be banned from entering Canada.

chronology: 20 years on, still no answer to the mystery of the Debris pile.

For Americans this will be the 20th anniversary of the 911 attacks. While United States Investigators have answered most of the questions of 911, one mystery remains, 'what happened to the Debris of the giant buildings'?

People all around the world watched astonished as the gigantic buildings crumbled and cascaded to earth, but that was the beginning of a modern mystery. Where did the rubble go?

Conspiracy theorists claim the buildings were hollow. While that may seem convincing to some folks, tens of thousands of steel girders would have been needed to keep the buildings in place for the hoax they claim happened. Those girders were absent from the rubble heap.
Some claim the crush impact turned everything to dust and it blew away. Nope, super strong steel does not turn to dust. And vast amount of metal in the WTC walls would also be in the heap, not to mention the colossal amount of glass. But at the base of the Ground Zero there was practically nothing.

Americans to this day have no explanation for where the WTC went. The most common explanation is the 'crushed to dust' slogan. But steel does not turn to dust even in a crush pile like the WTC.

As one person said 'the WTC never fell to the ground, it vanished. When the Towers collapsed they began to fall. But somehow, between the start of the fall and the ground millions of tonnes of steel and glass just vaporised.

A mystery wireclubbers.

chronology: This date 1918 Britain's Royal Navy suffers one its woast accidents when 3 submarines and 2 cruisers collide in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland.

Some say the tragedy was virtually bound to happen no matter how dedicated the Royal Navy were.

A Navy Patrol of 3 submarines and a number of ships quietly left Port at night under cover of darkness. They were ordered to maintain Radio Silence and have no lights other than a small blue light at the rear of the ships and to follow each other in single file.

One of the submarines developed engine problems and fell out of formation. The ships and submarines then began colliding into each other. A fog which had drifted across the sea made matters worse for all the Royal Navy ships and submarines. In all 101 men were killed and 3 submarines sunk and two ships seriously damaged.

The incident was kept virtually secret until 70 years after the disaster.

For Germany, the surrender at Stalingrad was probably the biggest set back of WW2. Germany lost around 500.000 soldiers killed. Russia lost around 1.500.000 troops in what was one of the bloodiest battles in the history of warfare.

After the loss of the German Army Units at Stalingrad, a deep and lasting rift developed between Germanys Military Establishment and the Political Leadership in Berlin.

One German senior General observed that 'no battle can won by an Army if they are given an impossible task to achieve'.

chronology: 'Kablewee' a very hard landing.

Many folks know how smart Octopuses are. They sometimes scare the living daylights out of folks in Florida when they crawl across land to reach nearby lakes with more fish in. They have even been captured on Petshop CCTV climbing out of their tanks at night and crawling across the Petshop floor to then climb up into another tank with some juicy fish in. After making a snack of the fish, the octopuses head back to their own Tanks.

The Animals are so smart in fact, some people think they actually come from Space. They theorise the creatures actually were brought to earth frozen in comets that crashed into earth in the distant past.

September 2001 and Mr Bush is sat in a school in Florida. The President is watching a class of school children read.
All at once the sitting school children appear to bow down to Mr Bush. In fact they were all reaching for their school bags. But seconds later a Secret Service Agent walks up to Mr Bush and informs him of the attack on the WTC.

Don't know what followers of CG Jung would make of that bow to the President wireclubbers. Was something in the collective subconscious of Americans at the time acknowledging an historic event was about to begin with Mr Bush being informed of the WTC attack?

America's overworked teachers would probably observe 'the kids were just reaching for their bags. It was a coincidence'.
