I read about this guy, and it was fantastic! He was a very brave individual that had had enough! Thanks for the links. I'm watching them as I go. I believe he just died, right?

I believe he just died, right? It was not in the documentary that he has died, unless you have read something written since this was made.

I always have the TV going in the background, and I thought I heard something like that, but from what I've read today, they don't even know the identity of that guy.

That's what was reported in this documentary. No journalist or investigation could turn up the Tank Man's identity or whereabouts since he was last seen taken off by (also) unidentified men.
Speculation is, the men that took him off were police and he was taken into custody and most likely killed - or - the men that took him were country men where they took into the country and tucked him away for fear of his life. But since that day in 1989 that the world witnessed, nothing has been turned up as to who he is, where he is or how he is.
The Peoples Liberation Army had just mowed down thousands of their own protesting/demonstrating citizens in Tienanmen Square under the cover of the darkness of night and in the light of day a lone man stopped a tank brigade. Then he vanished...

UFO The Greatest Story Ever Denied 1-9Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6Part 7Part 8Part 9Prior to watching this series I watched Evidence: The Case For NASA UFOs PART 1. This documentary takes you into some quantum physics and the scientific discussion in down to earth language that I also found fascinating as well as some breath taking space footage and pictures. In any case, I am left with a very earth bound feeling of limitation and can't help but think, what if (?) and is there dimensions far beyond our sensibilities in sight, sound, hearing... that at times are in our space without our knowing? Not spiritual beings but an existence of intelligent life forms from other planets or galaxies. Hey, if science can question, so can I.

The Bonus Army. I never heard of the "Bonus Army"! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_ArmyTo find out what is going on today, one must be willing to sift through the ashes of yesterday. In 1932, unemployed veterans marched on Washington, DC demanding payment of a bonus due in the future. The "bonus marchers" were routed by the military on orders of President Hoover. The idea of World War I veterans who had come home as heroes being confronted by the army was a national shock and doomed whatever hope Hoover had for reelection.Full documentary: March of the Bonus Army - Part 1Part 2Part 3
