The year you were born.

April 12 1981 – The Space Shuttle program: Space Shuttle Columbia (John Young, Robert Crippen) launches on the STS-1 mission, returning to Earth on April 14.

I remember years ago I received a birthday card that was designed to look like a newspaper with lots of events that happened the year I was born, I found it quite interesting and just remember it today.

Any way I was looking around the net for events that happened the year I was born and wondered if there was anything conspiracy related that happened.

Here are some of the things I found from wikipidia:



January – The subterranean Sarawak chamber is discovered in Borneo.

January 4 – Sheffield police arrest Peter Sutcliffe, a 34-year-old lorry driver, on suspicion of being the Yorkshire Ripper who has killed 13 women and attacked 7 others over the last 6 years.

January 16 – Protestant gunmen shoot and wound Bernadette Devlin McAliskey and her husband.

January 17 – Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos lifts martial law.

January 20 – Ronald Reagan succeeds Jimmy Carter, as the 40th President of the United States. Minutes later, Iran releases the 52 Americans held for 444 days, ending the Iran hostage crisis.

January 23 – An earthquake of 6.8 magnitude in Sichuan, China kills 150.

February 24 – A powerful, magnitude 6.7 earthquake hits Athens, killing 16 people, injuring thousands and destroying several buildings, mostly in Corinth and the nearby towns of Loutraki, Kiato and Xylokastro.

March 10 – Sir Geoffrey Howe announces the British budget, which raises taxes in the middle of a recession.

March 17 – In Italy the Propaganda Due Masonic Lodge is discovered.

March 19 – Three workers are killed and 5 injured during a test of the Space Shuttle Columbia.

March 30 – U.S. President Ronald Reagan is shot in the chest outside a Washington, D.C. hotel by John Hinckley, Jr. Two police officers and Press Secretary James Brady are also wounded.

April 12 – The Space Shuttle program: Space Shuttle Columbia (John Young, Robert Crippen) launches on the STS-1 mission, returning to Earth on April 14.

May 13 – Pope John Paul II is shot and nearly killed by Mehmet Ali Ağca, a Turkish gunman, as he enters St. Peter's Square in Vatican City to address a general audience.

May 15 – Donna Payant is murdered by serial killer Lemuel Smith, the first time a female prison officer has been killed on-duty in the United States.

May 22 – Peter Sutcliffe is found guilty of being the Yorkshire Ripper. He is sentenced to life imprisonment on 13 counts of murder and 7 of attempted murder.

May 30 – Bangladesh President Ziaur Rahman is assassinated in Chittagong.

June 5 – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 5 homosexual men in Los Angeles, California have a rare form of pneumonia seen only in patients with weakened immune systems (the first recognized cases of AIDS).

June 7 – The Israeli Air Force destroys Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor.

July 7 – President Ronald Reagan nominates the first woman, Sandra Day O'Connor, to the Supreme Court of the United States.

July 27 – Adam Walsh, 6, is kidnapped from a Sears store in Hollywood, Florida.

July 29 – A worldwide television audience of over 700 million people watched the Wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer at St Paul's Cathedral in London.

August 5 – Ronald Reagan fires 11,359 striking air-traffic controllers who ignored his order for them to return to work.

August 10 – Exactly 2 weeks after his disappearance, the severed head of 6-year-old Hollywood, Florida native Adam Walsh is found in a canal in Vero Beach, Florida; to this day the rest of the boy's body has never been recovered.

August 24 – Mark David Chapman is sentenced to 20 years to life in prison, after being convicted of murdering John Lennon in Manhattan 8 months earlier.

September 26 – The Boeing 767 airliner makes its first flight.

November 29 – Hollywood actress Natalie Wood drowns, aged 43. To this day the details leading up to her death remain a mystery.

December 28 – The first American test-tube baby, Elizabeth Jordan Carr, is born in Norfolk, Virginia.


I find it cool seeing things I have an interest in and not realising they began on the very year I was born, I didn't realise the Space Shuttle Columbia launched the year I was born neither that the first test tube baby was born as-well, so I though it would be cool for other ATS'ers to share conspiracy related (or near enough related) things that happened the year they were born, who knows? we might uncover a terrifying secret linking all of us on this site! or if not it might be a bit of fun.

I also thought it would be a good idea to paste the most shocking or interesting one at the top of your post like I put the one about the space shuttle so other members could easily scroll through and see them.

Oh and before I forget I got my info from wikipedia just type the year you were born and it should bring up a page dedicated to it.

I haven't looked extensively into the year I was born, but one big event did happen - JFK was assassinated. He wanted to end the Federal Reserve and spoke against "secret societies". The NWO therefore couldn't have that and did him in.

Busy Year...1962

Noro.

Umm, Dec 5 '61

Nothing?

I now need to adjust my tin foil hat,
And look for what they are suppressing.

I doubt it was a peaceful day,
but those 3 guys who visited were uber generous!

I did a search, but I didn't find anything very outlandish or weird...except this:

August 29 is my birthday.
It's also the first day of of Thoth, Thoth is an Egyptian Deity, and I guess means the first month of the Egyptians' calendar.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but my last name is Giza.

Anyone think there's something more to this?
