The document summarizes how America mobilized for World War I on the home front. It discusses the expansion of the federal government to oversee mobilization through new agencies. It also covers how the war opened new social and economic opportunities for women, African Americans, and immigrants. However, it notes that civil liberties were threatened through policies like the Espionage and Sedition Acts and increased censorship. Post-war unrest and the Red Scare led to further crackdowns on dissent.
The document provides an overview of several key people, events, and developments that occurred in the United States during the 1920s. It mentions postwar isolationism, nativism, and fears of communism that led to the Palmer Raids and Sacco and Vanzetti trial. It also discusses social changes like Prohibition, the rise of fundamentalism, Scopes Trial, flappers and new styles for women. Additionally, it outlines technological innovations, the growth of consumerism, and cultural developments like the Harlem Renaissance and works of writers like Fitzgerald and Hemingway that captured the era.
The early 1960s in America was fraught with fear looming over from .docxssuser454af01
The early 1960's in America was fraught with fear looming over from the onset of the cold war. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was sworn into office as the 35th President in January of 1961. Within a few months of taking office, he helped orchestrate the
Bay of Pigs Invasion
, which had a negative result. In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded, and the fear of communism in the United States was stronger than ever. 1963 signaled the beginnings of unrest in Laos and Vietnam, due to a perceived communist threat. Kennedy was preparing to face the crisis mounting in Southeast Asia when he was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963. The
assassination of JFK
was a pivotal moment not just for American history, but also for American popular culture.
The term
counterculture
has been defined as a culture with values and mores that run counter to, or against those, of established society. There has always been a counterculture to oppose the dominant culture in America, but this group tended to be in the minority of the population until the mid to late 1960's. The assassination of JFK, which was all the more shocking due to the fact that it was the first televised assassination in American history, changed the fabric of the United States. Young people were not merely beginning to question the authority of their parents; they were questioning their rights as citizens, and to have a mistrust of their government.
The 1960's countercultural revolution in the US was not only brought on by political events. The birth of rock and roll in the late 1950's had changed the face of popular music forever, and many new musicians were emerging with a new look, and a new sound. Arguably, the most important band to emerge in the 1960's were not American, but British musicians. Ladies and gentlemen...
The Beatles!
The Beatles
The Beatles were part of the "British Invasion" of bands during the early to mid 1960's, who were becoming extremely popular with American youth. When they first appeared, they sported a clean-cut look, with short hair and suits. As their popularity grew into an international phenomenon, they began to change their appearance, and began to experiment with drugs. Both British, and American youth cultures were transformed by "Beatlemania", as it was called. As the band changed, young people changed with them. Not everyone was a fan of the strong opinions of John Lennon, one of The Beatles two front men. During an interview in 1966, John Lennon remarked that The Beatles had become "
more popular than Jesus
". This caused outrage in the Southern United States, and in Birmingham, Alabama, young people were urged by religious and social leaders to burn Beatles records. Consequently, this was the same part of the country where the civil rights movement was also taking place.
Bob Dylan
Another notable musician, and also an American, Bob Dylan also helped shape the countercultural structure of the 1960's. Dylan, who is still recording music today, started o.
The United States Presidents and The Illuminati / The Masonic Power StructureOrthodoxoOnline
I have always seen list's of famous Masons. To just look at the name means very little. When you date and place those names in the proper time line and placement of power you begin to see the deception and vastness of this power elite. What will shock you even more is to learn who the powers are behind the Freemasons. Notice the death's of non Masonic presidents or those who lost favor, and the shuffling of the vice presidents to get them in the position of takeover before the presidents were killed or removed. Note also the number of presidential running mates who lost the race for presidency were Masons also. A win win situation regardless of the outcome of the election. The Mason's have controlled this country from the beginning. Another interesting fact to consider is that of the 37 Presidents of the United States before Jimmy Carter, at least 18 or 21 (depending on which source you believe) were close relatives. That comes to somewhere between 48.6 percent and 56.7 percent-far to much to be coincidence, as any conspiritologist (or mathematician) would tell you. Of the 224 ancestors in the family tree of 21 Presidents, we find 13 Roosevelt's, 16 Coolidge's, and 14 Tyler's. Another source manages to relate 60 percent of the Presidents and link most of them to the super-rich Astor family. This data does not include genealogies of the five most recent President. Psychologist G. William Domhoff claims that a large part of America's Ruling elite, just like that of Europe, are related by marriage. (Everything is Under Control. Conspiracies, Cults, and Cover-Ups by Robert Anton Wilson pg 39-40)
Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States and the first African American president. He served from 2009 to 2017. Some key facts about Obama include that he was born in Hawaii in 1961 to a white mother and black father. As president, Obama ordered the mission that killed Osama bin Laden, ended the war in Iraq in 2011, and expanded stem cell research. He was praised for being an inspiration and man of character during his time as president.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a prominent civil rights leader born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia who fought against racial segregation and injustice. He helped organize the 1963 March on Washington where he delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. King was assassinated in 1968 while supporting a sanitation workers' strike in Memphis, Tennessee, sparking riots across the country.
The document discusses various ways in which American culture and society changed in the 1950s from the postwar era. Teenagers and young people began to rebel against social conformity through new forms of music like rock n' roll, fashion, television and movies. New youth subcultures emerged that challenged traditional social and cultural norms of the time through music, art, literature and style. Economic prosperity in the postwar period also led to mass suburbanization and a rise of consumerism.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

“ The First Congress passed an oath act on June 1, 1789, authorizing only senators to administer the oath to the Vice President (who serves as the president of the Senate). Later that year, legislation passed that allowed courts to administer all oaths and affirmations. Since 1789, the oath has been changed several times by Congress. The present oath repeated by the Vice President of the United States, Senators, Representatives, and other government officers has been in use since 1884.” http://inaugural.senate.gov/history/daysevents/vpswearingin.cfm The oath in full reads, “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." — Presidential oath of office, Article II, Section 1, United States Constitution
The oath in the Constitution reads, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." — Presidential oath of office, Article II, Section 1, United States Constitution. Nearly all U.S. Presidents, starting with George Washington, have said, “solemnly swear” and added the words, “so help me God.”
