It was Saturday Night
and we had just enough time for another panel discussion on World War I. The
last few years have been the anniversary of World War I and this is the year
the US joined
in on the fight. We went to Kirby's Beer
Store of Wichita, KS
just as with our last panel discussions as with
Present tonight was
myself Red Rob Blogger and Paul Harvey Oswald. Kenya Blue
never made it and Casher O’Neill is missing in action. As Paul Harvey Oswald
has explained it to me, Casher was sent to Europe for World War I
observations. But he never made it back. Now he is missing in action and we
suspect he is missing for good.
While at Kirby’s their
TV had some rock bands playing on the tube. For a while I saw Anarchy
in the USA by Mötley
Crüe. Then I saw Muse playing from their new album Drones. Both
sets seemed pretty good to me.
It was about this time
that patrons of the bar were jeering an old and time worn rock band. Our
serious discussion was interrupted by these hooligans. But we didn’t let it get
the best of us.
RED ROB
BLOGGER: Wow! This
is the same year of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia .
A lot of blogs have been writing articles about this.
The Russian Empire collapsed with the abdication of Emperor Nicholas
II, and the old regime was replaced by a provisional
government during the first revolution of February 1917 (March in the Gregorian
calendar; the older Julian calendar was in use in Russia at the time). In the second revolution that
October, the Provisional Government was removed and replaced with the Bolshevik
state.
March 12, 13, 14 part of the Russian
Revolution began. It took the form of rioting.
On March 13 Prince
Golitsin was removed
from office. Since the extinction of the Korecki family in the 17th century, the Golitsyns have claimed dynastic seniority in
the House of Gediminas. Notable members include Vasily
Vasilyevich Golitsyn (1643-1714), Boris
Alexeyevich Golitsyn (1654-1714) and Dmitry Mikhaylovich Golitsyn (1665-1737). All this was in vain when the Bolsheviks won the revolution
and all aristocracy was wiped out.
By October of 1917,
the Soviet had completed their revolution.
PAUL HARVEY
OSWALD: This is the 100th anniversary of the US getting into the
war. On April 6 the US declared war on Germany .
This was close to this time that the French Amiral Charner was sunk by a German sub of the coast
of Syria .
The ship had been rescuing Armenians.
Other ships that were sunk in that war
include the Greif and the Alcantara, in 1916. That took
place in the North
Sea . Hey, it shows a suspicious lifeboat with a guy who looks just
like Casher.
RED ROB
BLOGGER: Wow! Sounds of Silence by Disturbed. (That
was playing on the TV.)
PAUL HARVEY
OSWALD: It was in 1917 that the Turkish Grand Vizior Said Halim
Pasha resigned. He looked at that picture of soldiers. It looks like Casher
using a barrel velocette.
RED ROB
BLOGGER: It seems
like Turkey has had its share of weird
leaders and it has them even today with Turkish President RecepTayyip Erdogan. He is a real fascist.
I read about the changes in uniforms at
the beginning of World War I. Some French troops entered WWI were wearing the
old red coats. An observer thought he was looking at a poppy field where a
battle had taken place. When he got closer he realized it was a field full of
dead French troops.
PAUL HARVEY
OSWALD: I just saw a high level meeting by the Germans, with a guy
that looks just like Casher, with an eye patch, a monocle and a spy spatial. It
looked like him. after the meeting broke up he was leaving with the monocle and
eye patch.
Maybe it
was him. Who knows. He has never come back.
So we both admitted
that Casher has gone to be in the past. But we will not forget him or his
contributions to this panel.
