January 17th, 1920, Alcohol Prohibition started in the USA

January 17th, 1920, Alcohol Prohibition started in the USA.

The roots of the temperance movement can be traced back to the 19th century, fuelled by concerns over the negative social and economic consequences of alcohol consumption. Religious groups and reformers argued that alcohol was responsible for a myriad of societal problems, including domestic violence, crime, and workplace inefficiency. The movement gained momentum in the decades leading up to the 20th century, culminating in the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919.

Rather than eradicating the consumption of alcohol, Prohibition gave rise to a flourishing black market. Organised crime syndicates, led by infamous figures like Al Capone, seized the opportunity to supply the demand for illegal alcohol. Speakeasies, hidden establishments where patrons could secretly enjoy alcoholic beverages, became popular across the nation, creating a vibrant underground culture.

As the negative consequences of Prohibition became increasingly evident, public sentiment turned against the ban on alcohol. The economic impact of lost tax revenue and the rise of organised crime prompted a re-evaluation of the policy. Additionally, the Great Depression further highlighted the need for economic stimulus, leading to the belief that legalising and taxing alcohol could provide much-needed revenue.

The tipping point came with the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. Faced with economic challenges and a public weary of Prohibition, Roosevelt signed the 21st Amendment on December 5, 1933, repealing the 18th Amendment and bringing an end to the era of Prohibition. The repeal marked a rare instance of amending the Constitution to reverse a previous amendment.

Nazi wives know what their husbands did to the Jewish women in concentration camps

Nazi wives know what their husbands did to the Jewish women in concentration camps they knew exactly what was going on. Many women married while employed from an early age in the concentration camps themselves. It was a high paying job for a working class German woman at the time. Watch footage of the trials on YouTube.  Some women from Bergen belsen were tried along with the men, a few were convicted and sentenced to death or prison. Many other camps also employed women. Looks like this sort of enviroment brought out the worst in seemingly harmless people. It was like some sort of pack mentality on a massive scale which involved women and children also. Most of the German population was well aware that Jews were being murdered, and that the concentration camps were death camps. Nazi wives were no exception. In fact, women played an important if overlooked role in the perpetuation of the Holocaust. Try the book "Hitler's Furies" for more information, but think about it. J...

Woman puts cucumber in her pussy at the store

Woman puts cucumber in her pussy at the store Lady Shocked As Man Masturbates While Staring At Her In A Bus In England A lady who was a passenger on a bus has taken to social media to share the photos of a man he claimed was masturbating in the bus she boarded, while staring at her. The lady who goes by the name Karlah Daly said she confronted the pervert and asked him to stop – but claims that she got more shocked when she reported it to the driver, as the driver simply told her to ‘switch seats’. Horrified by what was happening, she took out her film and recorded what happened. According to her narration, she asked the man to stop once again, but he refused to listen to her. And to her greatest surprise, while she stood up to leave, he mentioned to her that he loves her  “I said ‘can you stop it please’, he didn’t say anything, he was still looking me in the eyes. “I got up to leave and he said: ‘I love you’. I was really scared.” She said there was one other passenger, a ma...

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
