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.
