My friend Jason was recently in India and bought this old Life magazine in an antique store, because he loved the cover.
Unbeknownst to him, when he started reading it, he found one hell of a prize - related to the date of this edition.

This is mind-blowing - mind-blowing because it flies in the face of the lies we have been fed by the mainstream media and, of course, the haters.
Yesterday, all our troubles seemed so far away...
