Today in History – 21 September

1776 – Part of New York City is burned shortly after being occupied by British forces.

1780 – American Revolutionary War: Benedict Arnold gives the British the plans to West Point. Today he’d get a job as a reporter for the New York Times or a staff position with a dimmocrat senator or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

1792 – First French Republic forms, celebrated widely by the beheadings of a few thousand random French. France is up to Republic #5. They switch on occasion of installing dictators, monarchs or getting invaded by Germany, or “hey!, it’s time to do something different.” The next time it won’t be a republic, it’ll be part of the Caliphate.

1938 – The Great Hurricane of 1938 makes landfall on Long Island in New York. The death toll is estimated at 500-700 people. FEMA slow to respond. George Bush widely blamed.

1942 – On Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, Nazis sent over 1,000 Jews of Pidhaytsi (west Ukraine) to Belzec extermination camp.They also ordered Konstantynów Jews (Poland) to permanently evacuate Konstantynów and move to the Ghetto – established in Biala Podlaska, meant to assemble Jews from nearby 7 towns among them: Konstantynów, Janów Podlaski, Rossosz, Terespol, and 3 more. In Dunaivtsi, Ukraine, Nazis murder 2588 Jews. In those days, the term “Nazi” meant something quite different than “doesn’t subscribe to the dimmocrat party platform”.

1954 – First nuclear submarine, USS Nautilus, commissioned. Later becomes the first submarine to get to the North Pole and cross the Arctic Ocean submerged.

1955 – Last allied occupying troops leave Austria. War’s been over for ten years. They clearly needed an exit strategy.

1961 – Maiden flight of the CH-47 Chinook transportation helicopter. They’re still in service today. Matter of fact, the FIRST production unit is still in service, having been upgraded several times.

1977 – A nuclear non-proliferation pact is signed by 15 countries, including the United States and the Soviet Union. 2015 – Following the the footsteps of Bill Clinton with North Korea, Obama ignores it.

2005
 – Hurricane Rita becomes the third most intense hurricane(dropped to 4th in October 19, 2005) of 2005. Bitch cost me a house!
