A decent story that highlights the beginning of silent-film horror acting (leading up to the 1930's actors, such as Lon Chaney Jr attempting to fill in following his death.) I'm noticing that all of the famous film actors of that era had very tragic upbringings.
Note: Before the end of the 1920s, bars used to offer a 'Free Lunch' when people came to buy a drink (with the anticipation of buying more than 1 drink if they stayed and ate,) to attract more customers.

People would obviously take advantage of it as evident by the Great Depression.
Lon Chaney opted to have an unmarked grave, and while looking into it, I noticed many other actors that otherwise simply couldn't get a headstone (Lon Chaney probably could though made it in his will that nothing would identify him.)
Margaret Gibson confessed to murdering a Director when she died in the 1960s, and shortly after was arrested in 1923 on felony charges for a blackmail and extortion ring, but somehow people overlooked her glib mention of killing the Director (who remained an "unsolved case?")

That topic is rather popular in the silent film era. . .
I was a bit surprised to discover in the American Experience Annie Oakley documentary, that news articles reported that she stole a pair of men's pants to try and pay for her cocaine addiction. . . Though it was a person that was posing as her (she was above that since she was a Quaker.) I believe she may have early in her career used to do "one night stands," though the context seems to be performing shooting demonstrations from town to town.

These kinds of fuckers behind the 'My Lai Massacre' were mostly allowed to skirt accountability, and should have had the helicopter machine guns blow them to shreds. . .

Maybe using "enhanced interrogation" techniques and assuming over 80 sleeper cells for Al-Quada exist throughout the world when there are only 6, might be "part" of the problem with evil bullshit artists like Kissinger, et al?
China also will be a huge problem and 55% of the Chinese (according to a poll. . . The numbers were closer to 30% sometime before, but I'm sure that "doesn't matter" to the Chinese Plutocracy) are in support of invading Taiwan. A large component to this is of course that Taiwain has a significant benefit to the silicone chip manufacturing and is a strategic ally to the US, and though the citizens are as blind and ignorant to the threat, an increasing number of defense spending is going on behind the scenes.
