Nothing less then the future of this nation depends on what you do now. Every American has a patriotic duty to help save this nation, as well as a moral duty to humanity, and our planet. If you ignore this request, you'll share the blame for the needless deaths of millions, and if you do nothing to stop them, you're no better than the murderous fascist bastards now occupying the White House. Your silence gives your consent to all they do...(Jolly Roger)"

*HISTORY*

(from HistoryDaily.com)


May 5, 2005 on this day:

In 1893 the New York stock market crashed. In mid-February of that year panic hit when a number or railroads went bankrupt. Investors began dumping shares of railroads and other industries, which began the worst economic downturn in American history to-date. To replace their sold stocks, investors purchased gold which depleted the U.S. Treasury's gold reserve. On May 5 the stock market suffered its worse day until the crash of 1929, and by the end of 1893 almost twenty percent of the nation's workforce was unemployed. This economic depression lasted until 1897.




peace,
