CANADA – Barrie/Grand Valley, Ontario – May 31, 1985
On May 31, 1985, an unprecedented outbreak of violent tornadoes swept across Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Ontario. In Ontario, the tornadoes killed 12 people and caused 200 million dollars in damage. The deadliest tornado swept through the town of Barrie at F4 intensity and killed eight people along its six mile path. The deaths included a mother and child who were killed when their Crawford Street home was swept away, leaving nothing but “a concrete pad” (Bruineman, 2010). Vehicles and bodies were blown several hundred yards, and several large factories were completely leveled.
Another violent tornado formed just south of the Barrie and devastated areas near Grand Valley. The Grand Valley tornado travelled 62 miles – the longest path ever surveyed in Canada. It caused F4 damage and killed four people.
Severe damage caused by the 1985 Barrie tornado. An even stronger tornado may have formed in Ontario that day, only a few miles south of Barrie.
Venezuela 2012 Venezuela Colombian Drug Lord Arrested in Venezuela
3rd June, 2012 : Colombian drug lord Diego Rastrojo was arrested by police in Venezuela. Authorities have stated that he became the leader of the cartel in May and that they would hand him over to Colombian authorities.
A top Colombian drug lord, Diego Perez Henao, has been arrested by police in neighbouring Venezuela.
Accoridng to the Colombian authorities, he heads Los Rastrojos, a drug cartel that has grown quickly in the past four years, exporting tonnes of cocaine to the United States via Mexico.
Perez Henao, also known as Diego Rastrojo, became the leader of the cartel at the beginning of May.
The Venezuelan government says it will hand him to the Colombian authorities.
Venezuelan Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami said Perez Henao was captured on Sunday in the border state of Barinas on information provided by the Colombian authorities.
Mr El Aissami described him as "one of the most wanted criminals in the Americas".
According to police in Colombia, Diego Rastrojo controlled half the members of the paramilitary criminal organisations involved in drug trafficking in Colombia.
The BBC correspondent in Colombia, Arturo Wallace, says Diego Rastrojo was "one of the last old-style drug lords still operating in Colombia."
He was said to have 800 hitmen under his command.
Diego Rastrojo became the leader of Los Rastrojos when his main associate, Javier Antonio Calle Serna, known as Comba, surrendered to the US authorities nearly a month ago.
Comba handed himself in to agents of the US Drug Enforcement Administration on the island of Aruba.
PERJANJIAN ANTARA YAMTUAN ANTAH DENGAN GABENOR NEGERI-NEGERI SELAT
Tarikh Peristiwa pada 04-06-1887
Tarikh Peristiwa pada 04-06-1887
Selepas Perang Naning di antara tahun 1813-1832 Inggeris mula mengadakan beberapa siri perjanjian persahabatan dengan beberapa Pembesar Negeri Sembilan. Antaranya perjanjian dengan Raja Ali dan Syed Shaaban. Selepas itu Inggeris juga mula mencampuri urusan pentadbiran di Negeri Sembilan atas alasan menjaga kepentingan saudagar-saudagar mereka yang berniaga di Negeri Sembilan. Perjanjian-perjanjian ini secara tidak langsung membawa kepada campurtangan politik Inggeris ke atas kedaulatan pemerintahan Negeri Sembilan. Pada hari ini 4 Jun 1887, salah satu daripada perjanjian tersebut telah ditandatangani. Perjanjian yang dimaksudkan adalah di antara Yang Maha Mulia Tengku Antah, Yamtuan Seri Menanti atau (lebih dikenali sebagai Yamtuan Antah) dengan Gabenor Negeri Selat Sir Frederik Alusysweld. Perjanjian dibuat selepas peristiwa Perang Bukit Putus.
Peperangan tersebut berlaku akibat perselisehan yang berlaku antara Yamtuan Antah di Seri Menanti dengan Dato' Kelana Syed Abd. Rahman Sungei Ujong. Dato' Kelana telah membuat perhubungan persahabatan dengan British dan semasa pertempuran di Bukit Putus beliau telah dibantu askar-askar British di bawah Kapten Patrick J. Murray. Walaupun Yamtuan Antah telah berperang bermati-matian melawan askar Britsh di Bukit Putus. Baginda akhirnya terpaksa berundur ke Johor apabila pihak British berjaya mengalahkan Baginda. Semasa berada di Johor, Baginda telah dibantu oleh Maharaja Abu Bakar untuk mengadakan perjanjian dengan Gabenor Negeri Selat di Singapura. Setelah mengadakan perbincangan maka pada hari ini perjanjian tersebut telah ditandatangani setelah Yamtuan Antah kembali semula ke Seri Menanti.
Antara lain perjanjian ini menyebut bahawa kerajaan Negeri Selat dan Negeri Sembilan akan bekerjasama dalam menjaga hal ehwal negeri; Yamtuan Seri Menanti dan Dato'-dato' Penghulu Negeri Sembilan juga hendaklah sentiasa memberikan pertolongan kepada kerajaan Negeri Selat apabila dikehendaki; dan pihak British juga mengakui bahawa Tengku Besar Muhamad Ibni Tengku Antah akan menjadi pengganti Yamtuan dalam daerah Negeri Sembilan dan keturunannya. Melalui perjanjian ini jelaslah bahawa British telah mencampuri urusan pentadbiran Negeri Sembilan secara mendalam. Yamtuan Antah pula ketika itu tidak berapa sihat dan semakin gering, menyebabkan fasa mengenai perlantikan anakanada Baginda Tengku Besar Muhamad disebut secara khusus dalam perjanjian ini. Yamtuan Seri Menanti, Yamtuan Antah akhirnya mangkat di Seri Menanti pada tahun 1888 setahun selepas perjanjian ini ditandatangani

5 Jun 1967 – An-Naqsah (Hari Kekalahan) palit sejarah memalukan
Tarikh 5 Jun mungkin tidak dikaitkan dengan apa-apa peristiwa besar yang diingati oleh masyarakat dunia. Namun pada tarikh tersebut dalam tahun 1967 Israel telah melancarkan satu operasi ketenteraan besar-besaran ke atas Republik Arab Bersatu (Mesir), Jordan dan Syria secara serentak. Peperangan yang dikenali dalam sejarah konflik timur tengah sebagai Perang Enam Hari ini berakhir pada 10 Jun 1967. Dalam tempoh enam hari Israel berjaya menewaskan tiga negara Arab yang turut dibantu oleh Arab Saudi, Iraq, Algeria, Tunisia, Sudan, Somalia, Maghribi, Mauritania, Yemen, Kuwait, Emirat Arab Bersatu, Oman dan Qatar yang membekalkan tentera dan kelengkapan. Mesir menerima pukulan maha dahsyat yang mana lebih 10,000 tenteranya terkorban. Angkatan udara Mesir musnah sama sekali apabila kira-kira 300 jet pejuangnya dimusnahkan di pangkalan di atas landasan. Apabila serangan berakhir, Israel menguasai Tebing Barat, Genting Gaza, Baitul Maqdis Timur, Tanah Tinggi Golan dan Semenanjung Sinai. Dalam serangan kali inilah Masjid al-Aqsa ditawan oleh Israel sehingga hari ini.
Kekalahan besar yang amat memalukan seluruh dunia Arab dan Islam 42 tahun dahulu diperingati sebagai Hari an-Naksah (Hari Kekalahan). Ini adalah tragedi besar kedua yang menimpa umat Islam dan dunia Arab khususnya. Yang pertama ialah Hari an-Nakbah (malapetaka) yang berlaku pada 15 Mei 1948 yang membawa kepada penubuhan Negara Israel di atas 77% tanah Palestin yang mereka rampas. Peristiwa an-Nakbah juga dikaitkan dengan pengusiran 800,000 rakyat Palestin yang meninggalkan negara Palestin dan menetap di negara-negara Arab khususnya Syria, Jordan, Lubnan dan Mesir (Gaza). Dengan peristiwa ini lengkaplah penaklukan Israel ke atas keseluruhan tanah Palestin dan status quo ini berterusan sehingga hari ini.
Mesir semasa era Presiden Anwar Sadat berjaya membuat satu kejutan dengan menyerang kedudukan tentera Israel di Semenanjung Sinai dalam Perang Oktober 1973 atau Perang Ramadan. Kemenangan Mesir bagaimanapun tidak dapat disempurnakan apabila Amerika Syarikat (AS) campur tangan dan satu gencatan senjata dilaksanakan. Pertimbangan politik yang diambil oleh Mesir akhirnya membuka laluan kepada termeterainya perjanjian damai antara Mesir dan Israel pada tahun 1978. Perjanjian damai Camp David ini telah mengembalikan Semenanjung Sinai kepada Mesir. Namun harga yang terpaksa dibayar oleh rakyat Palestin khususnya di Gaza berterusan sehingga hari ini. Dengan termeterainya perjanjian Camp David, Mesir buat pertama kalinya mengiktiraf Israel dan bertanggungjawab untuk menjamin keselamatan entiti Israel terutama di sempadan Gaza. Jika laluan di Rafah ditutup pada hari ini sehingga rakyat Gaza yang tercedera dalam serangan biadap Israel pada akhir tahun 2008 dan awal 2009 tidak dibenarkan menyeberang untuk mendapat rawatan di Mesir, ia adalah kesan daripada perjanjian damai dan diplomatik yang tercipta natijah Camp David 1978.
Apakah pula reaksi masyarakat antarabangsa melalui Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu? Seperti yang dijangka PBB bersidang dan meluluskan Resolusi 242 yang menghendaki Israel berundur ke garisan hijau yang diputuskan oleh perjanjian Rhodes pada tahun 1949. Ini bermakna Israel perlu keluar dari semua wilayah yang didudukinya pada bulan Jun 1967. Pendudukan ke atas wilayah Palestin di Tebing Barat, Genting Gaza dan Baitul Maqdis Timur adalah pendudukan haram dan tidak diiktiraf dunia. Walau bagaimanapun seperti yang dijangka, Israel tidak mempedulikan resolusi tersebut sebagaimana mereka tidak mempedulikan Resolusi 194 yang diputuskan pada tahun 1949, yang mana Israel wajib mengizinkan pelarian Palestin pulang ke tanah air mereka. Sehingga kini setelah 60 tahun, bilangan pelarian Palestin di khemah-khemah pelarian sudah mencecah lebih 5 juta orang. Bagi Israel, PBB adalah sebuah pertubuhan yang tidak berkuku dan tidak berkuasa untuk melaksanakan mana-mana resolusi yang tidak memihak kepada kepentingan Israel selagi mana AS berdiri teguh di samping Israel.
Hari an-Naksah juga menandakan tarikh masjid al-Aqsa digempur dan ditawan oleh tentera Zionis. Dengan biadap tentera Israel memasuki perkarangan masjid dan melakukan perbuatan cemar yang tidak selayaknya ke atas mana-mana rumah ibadat. Semenjak tarikh tersebut, masjid al-Aqsa senantiasa terdedah kepada pelbagai ancaman dan perbuatan keji angkara Zionis. Ini termasuklah peristiwa masjid al-Aqsa yang dibakar pada 21 September 1969 yang diingati sebagai hari al-Quds setiap tahun. Mereka juga telah menggali terowong-terowong rahsia di bawah masjid dengan tujuan untuk melemahkan tapak asas masjid. Kumpulan ekstrem Zionis yang dilindungi oleh rejim Israel merancang untuk merobohkan masjid dan mendirikan synagogue (kuil) yang mereka namakan Haikal Sulaiman. Dari masa ke masa mereka akan terus menyusun makar untuk mencemar kesucian masjid. Pada bulan September 2000, Ariel Sharon, bersama 1,000 tentera Israel telah memasuki kawasan masjid dalam satu tindakan yang sengaja bertujuan untuk membangkitkan amarah rakyat Palestin dan umat Islam. Peristiwa amat biadap ini telah mencetuskan intifadah al-Aqsa yang masyhur itu. Selain daripada itu, rejim Zionis juga melaksanakan agenda ‘meyahudikan’ kawasan masjid dan Baitul Maqdis Timur. Mereka bertindak merobohkan rumah rakyat Palestin, merampas tanah mereka, mengusir mereka dan membatalkan status permastautinan. Di atas tanah-tanah yang dirampas itu mereka bina unit-unit apartmen dan perumahan eksklusif untuk pendatang Yahudi. Dengan pembinaan tembok pemisah dalam wilayah Tebing Barat yang sudah menjangkau 800 km dari utara ke selatan, Israel berusaha untuk mengepung rakyat Palestin dan menyukarkan laluan mereka untuk menziarahi masjid al-Aqsa. Inilah jenayah keji yang terus menjadi agenda Israel di Palestin.
Hari ini Israel terus berdolak-dalik dengan penyelesaian dua negara (two-state solution). Perdana Menteri yang baru terpilih, Benjamin Netanyahu tanpa rasa bersalah menolak penyelesaian dua negara dan pewujudan negara Palestin ke atas wilayah yang diduduki pada tahun 1967. Sikap ini diambil meskipun semua perjanjian damai yang ditandatangani bersama kelompok Fatah sejak dari Oslo 1990 adalah berdasarkan kepada Resolusi 242 yang diluluskan pada tahun 1967. Jika inilah pendirian yang dipertahankan oleh Israel, adakah dunia masih meletakkan harapan kepada ‘two-state solution’?
Analisis CIA mengenai Perang Arab-Israel 1967.
Mungkin sudah tiba masanya dunia menimbang formula yang ditawarkan oleh Hamas iaitu Israel berundur dari wilayah yang didudukinya pada tahun 1967 dan menghentikan kepungan ke atas Gaza, kemudian kedua-dua pihak membentuk satu gencatan senjata jangka panjang tanpa perlu Palestin mengiktiraf kewujudan Israel. Adapun bagi pihak Israel, terserahlah kepada mereka sama ada bersedia untuk mengiktiraf negara Palestin atau tidak. Hakikatnya mereka adalah perampas negara Palestin dan kewujudan mereka di atas wilayah Palestin yang mereka rampas dari rakyat Palestin pada tahun 1948 sendiri adalah satu kewujudan yang haram. Maka pilihan yang terbaik ialah akur kepada Resolusi 242 dan mana-mana resolusi yang berkaitan seperti 338 dan kemudian bersetuju dengan hudna atau gencatan senjata panjang. Sekurang-kurangnya keamanan ke atas wilayah yang bergolak ini dapat diwujudkan buat sementara waktu sehingga perkembangan politik antarabangsa memberi ruang kepada pelaksanaan pelan penyelesaian yang berkekalan.
Bulgaria 2012 Bulgaria Vampire Skeletons Found in Bulgaria
6th June, 2012 : Archaeologists found two medieval "vampire" skeletons. The skeletons had been pierced through the chest by an iron rod that was meant to pin them to their graves and to prevent them from becoming vampires.
If you thought vampires were simply the stuff of myth and legend - and perhaps the odd teen horror film - think again.
Archaeologists in Bulgaria have unearthed two skeletons from the Middle Ages pierced through the chest with iron rods to keep them from turning into the undead. They are the latest in a succession of finds across western and central Europe which shed new light on just how seriously people took the threat of vampires and how those beliefs transformed into the modern myth.
Find: Two skeletons, believed to be those of suspected Medieval vampires, were discovered with iron poles plunged through their chests in the Bulgarian Black Sea town of Sozopol
The two skeletons, believed to be around 800 years old, were discovered during an archaeological dig near a monastery in the Bulgarian Black Sea town of Sozopol.
Bulgaria's national history museum chief Bozhidar Dimitrov said: 'These two skeletons stabbed with rods illustrate a practice which was common in some Bulgarian villages up until the first decade of the 20th century.'
A close up of one of the 'vampire' skeletons discovered with a metal bar through its chest
According to pagan beliefs, people who were considered bad during their lifetimes might turn into vampires after death unless stabbed in the chest with an iron or wooden rod before being buried. People believed the rod would also pin them down in their graves to prevent them from leaving at midnight and terrorising the living, the historian explained.
According to Mr Dimitrov over 100 buried people whose corpses were stabbed to prevent them from becoming vampires have been discovered across Bulgaria over the years.
He added: 'I do not know why an ordinary discovery like that became so popular. Perhaps because of the mysteriousness of the word "vampire".
'These people were believed to be evil while they were alive, and it was believed that they would become vampires once they are dead, continuing to torment people.' According to Dimitrov, 'vampires' were often aristocrats and clerics.
He added: 'The curious thing is that there are no women among them. They were not afraid of witches.'
However last month Italian researchers discovered what they believed to be the remains of a female 'vampire' in Venice - buried with a brick jammed between her jaws to prevent her feeding on victims of a plague which swept the city in the 16th century.
Matteo Borrini, an anthropologist from the University of Florence, said the discovery on the small island of Lazzaretto Nuovo in the Venice lagoon supported the medieval belief that vampires were behind the spread of plagues like the Black Death.
The skeleton was unearthed in a mass grave from the Venetian plague of 1576 - in which the artist Titian died - on Lazzaretto Nuovo, which lies around two miles northeast of Venice and was used as a sanitorium for plague sufferers.
Borrini said: 'This is the first time that archaeology has succeeded in reconstructing the ritual of exorcism of a vampire.
'This helps ... authenticate how the myth of vampires was born.'
The succession of plagues which ravaged Europe between 1300 and 1700 fostered the belief in vampires, mainly because the decomposition of corpses was not well understood, Borrini said.
Gravediggers reopening mass graves would sometimes come across bodies bloated by gas, with hair still growing, and blood seeping from their mouths and believe them to be still alive.
The shrouds used to cover the faces of the dead were often decayed by bacteria in the mouth, revealing the corpse's teeth, and vampires became known as 'shroud-eaters.'
According to medieval medical and religious texts, the 'undead' were believed to spread pestilence in order to suck the remaining life from corpses until they acquired the strength to return to the streets again.
'To kill the vampire you had to remove the shroud from its mouth, which was its food like the milk of a child, and put something uneatable in there,' said Borrini.
'It's possible that other corpses have been found with bricks in their mouths, but this is the first time the ritual has been recognised.'
While legends about blood-drinking ghouls date back thousands of years, the modern figure of the vampire was encapsulated in the Irish author Bram Stoker's 1897 novel 'Dracula,' based on 18th century eastern European folktales.
