The craziest thing about the Swinging-Sixties wouldn't necessarily be Apollo 11 landing on the moon in 1969 (assuming they did as some believe the moon-landing was faked). I'm not going to say they didn't land on the moon. But I will say it looks like NASA used tax-payer dollars to make it possible which is fine to the extent they're accountable to how they spend their money. I would audit them in order to see how they've been spending our money these past four decades.
The craziest thing wouldn't even be the Vietnam Civil War which France was in. Other countries like China were involved. America shouldn't have interfered, most likely. Only thing worse is how America left Vietnam in the 1970s. The 1960s was during the Cold War Era which went from 1947 to 1991 regarding America and Russia. But if the USSR was so bad, then it would be possibly counterproductive to get involved in an internal Vietnam Civil War because that would leave America vulnerable if Russia was to attack. People can argue that America was perhaps helping the correct half of Vietnam to battle Ho Chi Minh. I would agree with that idea. But I still wouldn't get involved in that kind of way. Our main enemy is not communism, fascism, or even certain countries. Instead, the root of the problem would be more so the globalists and others who are often the puppet-masters of the pawns pulling strings. We also battle ideas too. Too often, we get distracted, it's called Divide & Conquer.
The craziest thing regarding the sixties on my mind is how government in concert with others ended the life of JFK in 1963 and then went on to coin the term "Conspiracy Theory" to demonize anybody questioning details regarding JFK who was trying to separate America from the Federal Reserve. JFk and Abraham Lincoln have something in common with each other. JFK printed out 4 billion dollars worth of not Federal Reserve money but Treasury Notes or perhaps they were United States Notes. Lincoln did the same thing, he had 400 million dollars printed. Oddly, shortly after, both Abe and JFK were murdered. The money they printed were called Greenbacks.

I would argue they were able to get Americans to be ok with spying on Russia due to the formation of the Cold War which may be at least partly blamed on that thing America and Russia signed in 1942 to put them in a limbo where they were both supposed to be allies with each other to go after Hitler. After 1945, after the end of WWII, Russia and America became enemies. There may be different reasons, factors, nuance, to how the Cold War started and continued for roughly four decades. I'm not blaming it all on that thing which was signed in 1942. But I am saying that is my go-to example. I mentioned NASA in my Random 1950s post.

November 22 - Assassination of John F. Kennedy: In a motorcade in Dallas, Texas, U.S. President John F. Kennedy is fatally shot but NOT by Lee Harvey Oswald because there were multiple shots from different angles. The body of JFK was quickly taken several places within hours of the shots. His face was blown up pretty badly. The general public was sold the Magic Bullet Theory. After this, the CIA and others begun coining the phrase Conspiracy Theory as an attack to go after people who were being redpilled from that event in world history. Many words were weaponized including words like racist, sexist, hate speech, etc, etc, and also "CONSPIRACY THEORY" as a way to mock people who questions narratives and propaganda. It's similar to the term of "FAKE NEWS" which was very similar in demonizing REAL NEWS. They try very hard to co-opt words to change their meanings including changing the word GAY to go from stupid or happy to mean homosexual for example. Oswald was the scapegoat. There are so many books, documentaries, about the murder of JFK. We can talk for years about all of the details and believe me people have been researching it for the past six decades.

The storm is the first hurricane to cause $1 billion in unadjusted damages, giving it the nickname "Billion Dollar Betsy". It is the last major hurricane to strike New Orleans until Hurricane Katrina 40 years later. In other words, they had 40 years to prepare for the next storm and yet they failed. It's like being outside of Noah's Ark while it's raining. You could have been on the ark but you just sat there and you did nothing. Prevention is better than correction. You have no excuses. You were given plenty of time to prepare. But you chose not to.
