Happy April Fools' Day Comrades! Here's "This Day in History"!

On April 1, 1700, English pranksters begin popularizing the annual tradition of April Fools’ Day by playing practical jokes on each other. Although the day, also called All Fools’ Day, has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, its exact origins remain a mystery. Some historians speculate that April Fools’ Day dates back to 1582, when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, as called for by the Council of Trent in 1563. People who were slow to get the news or failed to recognize that the start of the new year had moved to January 1 and continued to celebrate it during the last week of March through April 1 became the butt of jokes and hoaxes. These pranks included having paper fish placed on their backs and being referred to as Poisson d’avril (April fish), said to symbolize a young, “easily hooked” fish and a gullible person. April Fools’ Day spread throughout Britain during the 18th century. In Scotland, the tradition became a two-day event, starting with “hunting the gowk,” in which people were sent on phony errands (gowk is a word for cuckoo bird, a symbol for fool) and followed by Tailie Day, which involved pranks played on people’s derrieres, such as pinning fake tails or “kick me” signs on them. (Holidays)

On this day in 1891, the "Coal Creek War" began when miners at the Tennessee Coal Mining Company (TCMC) went on strike, demanding to be paid in cash, not scrip, and to weigh their own haul to ensure fairness of payment. The strike marked the beginning of a period of open rebellion by workers against capitalists and the state wherein they released prisoners, burnt stockades to the ground, and held off convict scabs by force. On July 14th, armed miners surrounded the stockades where leased convicts were held and sent by train out of the city. After repeated attacks on mine property and the stockades where prison workers were kept, the miners burned the prison to the ground and freed hundreds of convicts being held there on October 31st. On Nov. 2nd, a band of workers attacked a different set of stockades, freeing the prisoners detained there as well. From these two events alone, at least 453 convicts were set free. The strike was forcibly put down by state militia, ending with the arrest of hundreds of miners. All but one were either acquitted or merely fined. Tennessee ended its policy of allowing convict labor to replace mine workers in 1892. (Labor Strikes)

Also, on this day in 1918, the IWW Espionage Trial began, with more than one hundred Wobblies standing trial after the Department of Justice engaged in mass raids and arrests of IWW members in 1917 for violating the Espionage Act. Using the newly passed Espionage Act of 1917 as a justification, on September 5th, 1917, the Department of Justice raided forty-eight Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) meeting halls, arresting 165 IWW members for "conspiring to hinder the draft, encourage desertion, and intimidate others in connection with labor disputes." Of the 165 arrested, only 101 actually stood trial. The trial, which began on this day in 1918, was unusual in the way that the prosecution did not try to demonstrate the guilt of individuals, but rather to indict the IWW as an entire organization. During the trial, prosecutors read inflammatory passages from seized documents; accordingly, the defense testified about the plight of the working man and the evils of capitalism. All defendants were found guilty on all charges brought by the prosecution, and many IWW members served several years in prison. Among those convicted was "Big Bill" Haywood, a prominent leader of the IWW, however, he skipped bail before his sentencing and fled to the Soviet Union, where he would spend the rest of his life.

As left leaned gangster with 3 academic titles in applied science (Biotechnology, Physics and medicinal organic chemistry): self paid by working and inventions in the grey zone I have a wise lesson:

If you defend the defenseless poor and creative people who are friendly and laws doesn't exist in these countries (apart from the law of money) money is not important in the first place.

I always think do I stand still on the right side, do I help the poor, is it ethical in the full context and if you did solve these poor people they will help you back.

As former high star Asian gangster from Hong Kong you can ask questions if you have Bitmessage installed "how the system really works".

Hence, the weakly minded CIA is still spying on us as well as the 15 secret intelligence services in the UK, a former political apathetic colony from Hong Kong.

The pulp media is another problem now a picture from more then 10 year old can not be removed from the internet and every person that looks similar is now a potential subject as suspected gangster 😀 with the controversial criminal bill with mainland China with human right abuses this is a giant difference compared to Hong Kong. Sadly, most what you read is again fake..

Who did have one problem with these so called "Thugs" or motorcycle club. I never ever but I have more problems with .gov and their police.

I find money, money, money: the police is the mafia...😃

Just say nothing to the police: this safe a lot of money and they provoking but still say no word.

A recent opinion survey carried out by the The House of Unity Fan Club has suggested that you are the most beloved and accomplished head of state in the history of Koralo.

[...]

"And looking over the festivities, a sixty-foot tall portrait of you, our most beloved leader!"

Ah yes, I can see why people would enjoy not being ruled by a single person. I am struggling however to see the point of carrying around a sixty-foot tall picture of the building behind you but you do you I guess.

How I've missed NS issues haha

As member of the communist bloc I'm in full support to kill ISIS, let's say a criminal organisation like the VOC. Sadly, these loosers already killed a Indonesian police with a gun recently. The conflict seems not over and ISIS is the biggest enemy from all my nice hardworking Muslim friends. Religion...

I and the vast majority endorse these poor Indonesians and hope they get their happy ending these criminal organisation.

Where do they get their money and munition from...
