30: Ryan White
35 years ago today (April 8, 1990) Ryan White died.
He was 18 years old.
Ryan was born on December 8, 1971
in Kokomo, Indiana.
When he was 3 days old Ryan’s Doctors
diagnosed him with severe Hemophilia A, a Hereditary Blood Coagulation Disorder
associated with the X Chromosome, which causes even minor injuries to result in
severe bleeding.
For treatment, he received weekly
infusions of Factor VIII, a blood product created from pooled Plasma of Non-Hemophiliacs,
an increasingly common treatment for Hemophiliacs at the time.
On December 17, 1984, when he was
13 years old, Ryan was diagnosed with AIDS.
Ryan had received a contaminated
treatment of Factor VIII that was infected with HIV, as did thousands of other
Americans with Hemophilia and Hemophiliacs around the world.
At that time, because the AIDS Virus
had only recently been identified and there was no screening of blood products,
much of the pooled Factor VIII concentrate was tainted.
Doctors predicted Ryan only had 6
months to live.
Despite Doctors telling Ryan and his
School Board that Ryan poised no risk to other Students he was denied returning
due to Angry Parents, Students and Teachers who didn’t understand that AIDS
wasn’t Air-Borne.
In the School of 360 total Students,
117 Parents and 50 Teachers signed a Petition encouraging School Leaders to ban
Ryan from School.
A lengthy Administrative Appeal Process
ensued, and news of the conflict turned Ryan into a popular Celebrity and Advocate
for AIDS Research and Public Education.
When Ryan was permitted to return
to School for one day in February 1986, 151 of 360 Students stayed home.
He also worked as a Paperboy, and
many of the People on his route canceled their subscriptions, believing that
HIV could be transmitted through newsprint.
Ryan attended Western Middle
School for 8th Grade during
the 1985–1986 School Year.
He was deeply unhappy and had few
Friends.
The School required him to eat
with disposable utensils, use separate bathrooms, and waived his requirement to
enroll in a Gym Class.
Threats continued. When a bullet
was fired through the Whites' Living Room window (no one was home at the time),
the Family decided to leave Kokomo.
After finishing the School Year,
his Family moved to Cicero, Indiana, where he began 9th Grade at
Hamilton Heights High School, in Arcadia, Indiana.
On August 31, 1986, a "very
nervous" Ryan was greeted by School Principal Tony Cook, School System Superintendent
Bob G. Carnal, and a handful of Students who had been educated about AIDS and
were unafraid to shake Ryan’s hand.
While isolated in Middle School,
Ryan appeared frequently on National Television and in Newspapers to discuss
his tribulations with the disease.
Eventually, he became known as a Poster Child
for the AIDS Crisis, appearing in Fundraising and Educational Campaigns for the
Syndrome.
Singers John Mellencamp, Elton
John and Michael Jackson, actor Matt Frewer, Diver Greg Louganis, President
Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan, Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop,
Indiana University Basketball Coach Bob Knight and Basketball Player Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar all befriended Ryan.
His Celebrity Crush, Alyssa
Milano of the then-popular TV show “Who's the Boss?”, met Ryan and gave him a
friendship bracelet and a kiss.
In 1989, ABC aired the Television
Movie “The Ryan White Story”, starring Lukas Haas as Ryan, Judith Light as
Jeanne and Nikki Cox as his Sister Andrea.
Ryan White had a small cameo appearance as
"Chad" in the film, playing a Boy who also has HIV and later
befriends Haas.
Nielsen estimated that the movie
was seen by 15 Million Viewers.
Ryan died on April 8, 1990 in
Indianapolis, Indiana.
Over 1,500 People attended Ryan's
Funeral on April 11th, a standing-room only event held at the Second
Presbyterian Church on Meridian Street in Indianapolis.
Ryan’s Pallbearers included Elton
John, Football Star Howie Long and Phil Donahue.
Elton John performed "Skyline
Pigeon" at the Funeral.
The Funeral was also attended by Singer
Michael Jackson, and then-First Lady Barbara Bush.
On the day of the Funeral, Ronald Reagan wrote
a tribute to White that appeared in The Washington Post. Reagan's statement
about AIDS and Ryan’s Funeral were seen as indicators of how greatly Ryan had
helped change perceptions of AIDS.
The U.S. Congress passed a major
piece of AIDS Legislation, the Ryan White CARE Act, shortly after White's
death, which was signed into law by President George H. W. Bush in August 1990
and reauthorized twice.
Through the "Ryan White Programs" it
funds, the Act has become the largest provider of services for people living
with HIV/AIDS in the United States.
In 2024, over half of the People
diagnosed with HIV in the United States (more than 550,000) were provided care
and treatment from the funded programs, and 57,000 Health Care Professionals
treating People with HIV received education and training.

Patrick Rooney
August 14, 1969 in Belfast,
Northern Ireland a 9 year old Catholic Boy, Patrick Rooney, was killed in his bedroom
by the Royal Ulster Constabulary – RUC - (the Pro-Protestant Police Force of Northern Ireland
at the time.)
From August 12-16, 1969 Northern
Irish Protestants went across Northern Ireland burning Norther Irish Catholic
Homes and Businesses – hoping to force them to move to the Republic of Ireland.
1,505 Northern Irish Catholic
Families had their homes bombed and were forced to leave their neighborhoods.
While Patrick and his Family of 8
huddled in their house against the violence outside the RUC fired bullets at
their house.
Patrick Rooney was the first
Child murdered during The Troubles (1969-1998.)
From 1969 until 2018 the RUC, the
British Military and the London Government did whatever it could to blame the Catholic
Victims for their own Deaths and Woundings – including hiding evidence and
giving Awards to those who Shot the Victims.
The 2018 Scarman Report found
that there had been no justification for the firing which killed Patrick.
The Police Ombudsman also stated
the use of machine guns by Officers to deal with rioting in Belfast in 1969 was
"disproportionate and dangerous".
As with most Cases involving the
RUC and the British Military in Northern Ireland - no Former Officers were brought
to justice for their crime of killing 9 year old Patrick Rooney.
Background: In 1922 the UK
broke-up a united Ireland and created Northern Ireland (and along with it the
official 3 Tier Discrimination Policy: British (English, Welsh and Scots) at
the top, Northern Irish Protestants in the middle and Northern Irish Catholics
at the bottom.
Catholics in Northern Ireland did
not receive the same equal and basic Civil Rights that every other citizen of
the UK held until the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 (77 years after N.I. was
created) that ended the 30 Year violence that was The Troubles.
The Troubles started when
Northern Irish Catholics peacefully started using civil disobedience (following
Martin Luther King's example in the US) in 1966. The Northern Irish Protestants
did not want to give up what little power the British gave them and so attacked
and killed the Northern Irish Catholics (the same way American White
Southerners did to American Black Southerners in the 1950s-1960s.)
The British sent in their
Military in 1969 and at first the Northern Irish Catholics saw the British
Military as a buffer between them and the Protestants and welcomed them
(Northern Irish Catholics hoped the British Government and the British Military
would be like the American Federal Government and the Federalized National
Guard who went into the American South and stopped the White Southern Racists
and the violence.)
That support changed after the
British Military openly sided with the Northern Irish Protestants and started
massacring unarmed and peaceful Northern Irish Catholics (ie. The 1970 Falls
Curfew, the 1971 Ballymurphy Massacre, the 1972 Bloody Sunday, etc.)
After Bloody Sunday, the Northern
Irish Catholics and the world had direct proof that the British Government and
Military fully supported the Northern Irish Protestants and sought to keep the
Northern Irish Catholics “in-their-place” through any means - including murder. The British Government
and the British Military covered-up and lied about their role for decades, but
have since openly admitted their crimes.
From 1972 until 1998 it was
open-warfare with the British Government, the British Military, the Police and
the Northern Irish Protestants on one side and the Northern Irish Catholics on
the other. The death and violence hit not only Northern Ireland, but the
Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, Belgium, West Germany, Gibraltar, the
Netherlands, Germany, etc.
The Troubles only ended when the United States stepped-in to get all the sides together (the same way we did in the Former Yugoslavia around the same time.) 1,935 civilians were killed and over 50,000 wounded, injured or permanently disabled.
The Pro-Protestant and
Anti-Catholic Royal Ulster Constabulary was replaced by the Police Service of
Northern Ireland in 2001.

96: Nanette Blitz Konig
.jpg)
Happy 96th Birthday Nanette
Blitz Konig!
Nanette was born on April 6, 1929
in Amsterdam, the Netherlands to Martijn (a native of Amsterdam, the
Netherlands) and Helene (a native of Kimberley, South Africa.)
In 1940 the Germans occupied the
Netherlands.
In 1941 the Germans forced all
Jews out of the Public Schools and so Nanette went to the Jewish Lyceum where
she met and became Friends with Anne Frank.
In September 1943 Nanette and her
Family were arrested by the Germans and sent to the Westerbork Transit Camp in
northern the Netherlands.
On February 15, 1944 Nanette and
her Family were deported to the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp in Germany and
kept in a Special Section of the Camp that was to be used to barter for German Prisoners
Overseas.
Her Father died in November 1944
and the rest of the Family lost their “Special Status.”
Her Mother and Brother were
deported from Bergen-Belsen to different Camps in 1944 leaving Nanette all
alone at the age of 15.
Her Mother was sent to the
Beendorf Salt Mines in Germany where she worked as a Forced Laborer. She died in
April 1945 while on a train headed to Sweden for recuperation after her Liberation.
Her Brother was sent to the Orangeburg Concentration Camp in Germany where
he died.
In January 1945 Nanette was transferred
from the Special Section to the Regular Female Section of Bergen-Belsen where
she reunited with Anne Frank and Anne’s Sister, Margot.
She also said that she had seen
Anne and Margot shortly before they died:
"When I found Anne and
Margot in Camp 8, that was the original Camp 8, which was then a women's camp,
[...] they were both skeletons and I, I know about Anne that she was wrapped in
a blanket. Margot I can't remember if she was also wrapped in a blanket, but
she was also very weak, completely, well, consumed so to speak. And maybe she
was wrapped in a blanket too, the clothes were impossible to wear because they
were full of lice."
Nanette was liberated from Bergen-Belsen
by the British Army and spent 3 years in a Hospital with Typhus (the disease
that killed Anne Frank.)
Nanette moved to England where
she met and married John Konig in 1953 and they moved to Brazil where they had 3
Children.
John died in 2022.
In 2015 Nanette published her Memoirs
in Portuguese with an English Version published in 2018.
Following the death of Jacqueline
van Maarsen in February 2025, she is one of the last living People to have
known Anne Frank.
Nanette is also the last living
person who saw Anne Frank closest to her death.
Reciprocal Tariffs
I am so sick of all our American
Products being made in Middle-Earth with all the Hobbits getting rich and
costing Americans so much extra money.

No Weakness
After a Russian Ballistic Missile
killed 18 People—including 9 Children—in his hometown of Kryvyi Rih, President
Zelenskyy demands accountability: "Staying silent about Russia killing
children only emboldens the scum in Moscow."
The strike comes as the Trump Administration
continues pushing for a Ceasefire that Analysts warn could give Russia time to
prepare for a new War.
Zelenskyy appeared to criticize
US Ambassador Brink, whose statement on the attack avoided explicitly naming
Russia as responsible—calling such Diplomatic ambiguity "wrong and
dangerous."
Collasping Economy
Protests are happening across the
United States, the Stock Market is Crashing, Prices on Everything are Rising, a
Recession is Looming, Russians continue to kill Ukrainians because Putin is
playing Trump, DOGE continues to not be efficient and randomly firing Thousands
of People with no worry about the effects on the American People, Tariffs have
caused unnecessary harm and expense to Ordinary Americans, etc.
Trump ran on fixing the American
Economy and so far he is only destroying the American Economy.
While the Country falls apart
because of his Direct Rule (ie. Executive Actions) Trump goes golfing while
Americans struggle to feed their Families.

80: 1st Camp
80 years ago today (April 4, 1945) the US Military liberated their first Concentration Camp: Ohrdruf (south of Gotha, in Thuringia, Germany.)
It was a sub-camp of Buchenwald.
It housed 20,000 Russians, Poles,
Hungarians, Jews, French, Czechs, Italians, Belgians, Greeks, Yugoslavians and
Germans.
From November 1944 until April
1945 7,000 people were murdered by the Germans here.
The Camp was liberated by the 4th
Armored Division, led by Brigadier General Joseph Cutrona, and the 89th
Infantry Division.
When the soldiers of the 4th
Armored Division entered the camp, they discovered piles of bodies, some
covered with lime, and others partially incinerated on pyres.
The ghastly nature of their
discovery led General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied
Forces in Europe, to visit the camp on April 12th, with Generals George S.
Patton and Omar Bradley (pictured.)
After his visit, Eisenhower cabled General
George C. Marshall, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington saying
“I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand
evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to
charge these allegations merely to 'propaganda.'”
On April 19, 1945, Eisenhower
again cabled Marshall with a request to bring members of Congress and Journalists
to the newly liberated Camps so that they could bring the horrible truth about
German Nazi atrocities to the American public.
That same day, Marshall received
permission from the Secretary of War, Henry Lewis Stimson, and President Harry
S. Truman for these delegations to visit the liberated Camps.
80: Ohrdruf
80 years ago today (April 4,

Axis Of Evil
This is how Iran, North Korea,
China and Russia support each other and how Iran gets the missiles it uses to
bomb Israel and how Russia gets the drones and missiles it uses to bomb Ukraine
as well as using North Korean Troops to fight the Ukrainians.
Helping any of these countries
(especially Russia) is helping all of these countries commit their Crimes.
50: Babylift
50 years ago today (April 3,
1975) Operation Babylift started.
Operation Babylift was the Mass
Evacuation of Children from South Vietnam to the United States, Australia,
France, West Germany and Canada at the end of the Vietnam War.
On April 4, 1975 a plane carrying
Children flying from Saigon, South Vietnam to the Philippines crashed during an
Emergency Landing shortly after takeoff.
Of the 314 People on-board the
death toll included 78 Children, 35 Defense Attaché Office Employees and 11
U.S. Air Force Personnel; there were 176 Survivors.
When American Businessman Robert
Macauley learned that it would take more than a week to evacuate the surviving Orphans
due to the lack of Military Transport Planes, he chartered a Boeing 747 from
Pan American World Airways and arranged for 300 Children to leave the country,
paying for the trip by mortgaging his house.
When it ended on April 26, 1975
3,300 Vietnamese Babies and Children had been airlifted to safety from the
Communist North Vietnamese.

160,000
Putin has called for 160,000 Russian
Men (18-30) to be Conscripted into the Russian Military this Spring.
This is the largest number of Conscripts
since 2011.
Russia Drafts Men every Spring
and Fall.
That means 160,000 will be
Drafted this Spring and another 160,000 in the Fall for a total of 320,000
Russian Men Drafted and sent to fight in Ukraine (despite the Official Line
that no Conscripts are sent to Ukraine.)
918,180 Russian Soldiers have
been killed or wounded in Ukraine since February 2022.
They are dying as Putin’s Cannon
Fodder and so he needs to replace them quickly so more can die.
Less Money
Trump has called today “Liberation Day.”
Do you feel liberated?
I don’t.
The only thing that Trump is liberating
us from is more of our hard-earned money since his Tariffs on nearly every single
Country will cost the Ordinary American an extra $1,200 Dollars a year on just
the basics.
Add to that buying electronics,
cars, houses, etc. and the Ordinary American pays even more money for the same
items that were cheaper before January 20, 2025.

April Fool's
April Fools’ Day
April Fools’ Day—celebrated on April 1 each year—has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, though its exact origins remain a mystery. April Fools’ Day traditions include playing hoaxes or practical jokes on others, often yelling “April Fools!” at the end to clue in the subject of the April Fools’ Day prank. While its exact history is shrouded in mystery, the embrace of April Fools’ Day jokes by the media and major brands has ensured the unofficial holiday’s long life.
Origins of April Fools' Day
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. In the Julian Calendar, as in the Hindu calendar,
the new year began with the spring equinox around April 1. 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 and were called “April fools.” 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 caught fish
and a gullible person.
Hilaria in Ancient Rome
Historians have also linked April Fools’ Day to festivals such as Hilaria
(Latin for joyful), which was celebrated in ancient Rome at the end of March by
followers of the cult of Cybele. It involved people dressing up in disguises
and mocking fellow citizens and even magistrates and was said to be inspired by
the Egyptian legend of Isis, Osiris and Seth.
Vernal Equinox and April
Fools' There’s also speculation that April Fools’ Day was tied to the
vernal equinox, or first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, when Mother
Nature fooled people with changing, unpredictable weather.
History of April Fools’ Day
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.
April Fools’ Day Pranks In
modern times, people have gone to great lengths to create elaborate April
Fools’ Day hoaxes. Newspapers, radio and TV stations and websites have
participated in the April 1 tradition of reporting outrageous fictional claims
that have fooled their audiences.
In 1957, the BBC reported that
Swiss farmers were experiencing a record spaghetti crop and showed footage of
people harvesting noodles from trees. In 1985, Sports Illustrated writer George
Plimpton tricked many readers when he ran a made-up article about a rookie
pitcher named Sidd Finch who could throw a fastball over 168 miles per hour.
In 1992, National Public Radio
ran a spot with former President Richard Nixon saying he was running for
president again… only it was an actor, not Nixon, and the segment was all an
April Fools’ Day prank that caught the country by surprise.
In 1996, Taco Bell, the fast-food
restaurant chain, duped people when it announced it had agreed to purchase
Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell and intended to rename it the Taco Liberty Bell. In
1998, after Burger King advertised a “Left-Handed Whopper,” scores of clueless
customers requested the fake sandwich. Google notoriously hosts an annual April
Fools’ Day prank that has included everything from “telepathic search” to the
ability to play Pac Man on Google Maps.
