The 4th of July is the time when we celebrate our nation-- a time to reflect on the freedoms which we believe are not granted by our government, but are self-evident rights for all humankind. Time for the Independence Day Quiz which asks, "How much do you really know?" Every day thousands leave their homelands to settle here in the land of the free. Before they become citizens they are required to take a citizenship test and score 80%. Could you pass this test if you took it today? Our quiz is made up of 20 questions found on the actual citizenship test with a few curveballs in the mix. The last ten questions may be a bit harder, but a score of around 24 out of 30 is considered a ...

at 3:20: "Like it or not, we live in times of danger and uncertainty. But they are also more open to the creative energy of men than any other time in history. All of us will ultimately be judged, and as the years pass we will surely judge ourselves on the effort we have contributed to building a new world society and the extent to which our ideals and goals have shaped that event. "Our future may lie beyond our vision, but it is not completely beyond our control. It is the shaping impulse of America that neither fate nor nature nor the irresistible tides of history, but the work of our own hands, matched to reason and principle, that will determine our destiny.

Around May of 1983, approximately 4 months before being shot down in KAL007, Congressman Larry McDonald takes on Pat Buchanan and Tom Braden on Crossfire as they badger him about his new role as Chairman of the John Birch Society. He easily handles them and answers questions concerning the Elite's Conspiracy for a One World Government.

From the 2008 Archives. Current election is the phoniest of all he's seen. People in the country are tired of "talking about nothing."
Poster Comment:Ezra Pound tried to stop America's entry into WW-1 and WW-2. Mullins is working on videos in Texas, away from Virginia. Talk about FDR, and the war. Brief discussion about the Fed and Secrets of the Federal Reserve. Eustace remarks that he's been asked a lot of questions... and he's been doing this for a long time.

Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis and the commercial hubs of black Washington melted in the fires of next time. By 1968, the hopeful days of King's "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial five years earlier seemed to belong to another era. President John F.

Research suggests our ancestors traveled the oceans 70,000 years ago. Jon Erlandson shakes out what appears to be a miniature evergreen from a clear ziplock bag and holds it out for me to examine. As one of the world’s leading authorities on ancient seafaring, he has devoted much of his career to hunting down hard evidence of ancient human migrations, searching for something most archaeologists long thought a figment: Ice Age mariners. On this drizzly late-fall afternoon in a lab at the University of Oregon in Eugene, the 53-year-old Erlandson looks as pleased as the father of a newborn—and perhaps just as anxious —as he shows me one of his latest prize finds.

WHY I KNOW GOD EXISTS Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, in his 1777 work “A Political Catechism”: Q. What is war? A. The curse of mankind; the mother of famine and pestilence; the source of complicated miseries; and the undistinguishing destroyer of the human species. Q. How is war divided? A. Into offensive and defensive. Q. What is the general object of an offensive war? . . . A. [F]or the most part, it is undertaken to gratify the ambition of a prince, who wishes to subject to his arbitrary will a people whom God created free, and to gain an uncontrolled dominion over their rights and property. . . .

The Alliance between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union – Joint parade at Brest. On September 1st, 1939, barely a week after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed, Germany invaded Poland. The Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east on September 17th from the east and started advancing westward. On September 23rd, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union held a joint parade at Brest (Brest-Litovsk), commemorating the withdrawal of German troops from the city and signing the city over to Soviet rule.

PARIS - Divers trained in archaeology discovered a marble bust of an aging Caesar in the Rhone River that France's Culture Ministry said Tuesday could be the oldest known. The life-sized bust showing the Roman ruler with wrinkles and hollows in his face is tentatively dated to 46 B.C. Divers uncovered the Caesar bust and a collection of other finds in the Rhone near the town of Arles — founded by Caesar. Among other items in the treasure trove of ancient objects is a 5.9 foot marble statue of Neptune, dated to the first decade of the third century after Christ. Two smaller statues, both in bronze and measuring 27.5 inches each also were found, one of them, a satyr with his hands ...

“Kill the Indian, and Save the Man”: Capt. Richard H. Pratt on the Education of Native Americans Beginning in 1887, the federal government attempted to “Americanize” Native Americans, largely through the education of Native youth. By 1900 thousands of Native Americans were studying at almost 150 boarding schools around the United States. The U.S. Training and Industrial School founded in 1879 at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, was the model for most of these schools. Boarding schools like Carlisle provided vocational and manual training and sought to systematically strip away tribal culture. They insisted that students drop their Indian names, forbade the speaking of ...
Memories of a 'houseboy' (Nelson Mandela)
Post Date: 2008-05-08 21:10:24 by X-15

About 40 years ago Nelson Mandela worked as a servant at a farm outlying the outskirt of Johannesburg. Wearing blue overalls Mandela played his part convincingly, often seen working in the garden around the big manor farmhouse. Mandela was there under the ruse of "David Motsamai", a "houseboy" who slept in an outside room on the property. Behind the walls, however, "Motsamai" met up and conversed with his "boss" Arthur Goldreich more than any other worker would have during the strict apartheid era. This was an intelligently and well-thought play staged at Liliesleaf Farm in Rivonia, used as a stratagem to evade the sharp claws of the apartheid ...

Woman Sues City Over Civil War Loan

TAMPA, FLA. (WUSA) ? In the early months of the Civil War, the city of Tampa needed ammunition and other supplies to defend against attack but apparently was short on cash.
So it issued a promissory note for $299.58 to storekeeper Thomas Pugh Kennedy on June 21, 1861.
Kennedy's great-granddaughter says the city never made good on its loan.
Now, Joan Kennedy Biddle and her family are suing to collect the payment plus 8 percent annual interest. The total bill: $22.7-million.
"Obviously we came at a bad time because the city seems like they're trying to cut their budget," she said. "On the other hand, they're building the Riverwalk."
Biddle wouldn't give specifics on why she ...

Eisenhower overruled some of his military commanders in the summer of 1958, ordering them not to use nuclear weapons against China if communist forces blockaded the Taiwan Strait, according to declassified Air Force documents.

A New Look at How World War II Happened

Nicholson Baker’s new book Human Smoke: The Beginnings of World War II, the End of Civilization, is one of the most unique nonfiction books you’ll ever read. Based on voluminous research of newspaper and magazine articles, radio speeches, memoirs, diaries, and biographies, Baker’s 566-page book gives the reader an extraordinary look into the mindsets of all the major actors in the lead-up to the war. Each paragraph of the book is written like a press release of an important event on a particular day, and is not necessarily related to the previous or succeeding paragraph. At first I thought this would be an extremely boring read, kind of like looking through old newspapers. ...

Red Republicans and Lincoln’s Marxists: Marxism in the Civil War, Walter D. Kennedy and Al Benson, Jr., iUniverse Press, Lincoln, Nebraska, 2007. Beginning in the mid-1990’s I gave a number of talks about Southern history. Part of my monologue was devoted to the role of the 48ers: those veterans of the 1848 Marxist uprisings in Europe, and how they effected the politics of Missouri during the War Between the States (WBTS). I spoke about Karl Marx, Joseph Weydemeyer, Franz Sigel, and Carl Schurz, among others, who supported the Lincoln Administration. The discussion of domestic Marxism associated with the iconic Abraham Lincoln made people uneasy. Immigrant socialist ...

1 minute ago MOSCOW - DNA tests carried out by a U.S. laboratory prove that bone fragments exhumed last year belong to two children of Czar Nicholas II, putting to rest questions about what happened to Russia's last royal family, a regional governor said Wednesday. Bone fragments dug up near the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg are indeed those of Crown Prince Alexei and his sister, Maria, whose remains had been missing since the family was murdered in 1918 as Russia descended into civil war, said Eduard Rossel, governor of the Sverdlovsk region. "We have now found the entire family," he told reporters in Yekaterinburg, 900 miles east of Moscow. The confirmation could ...

CUTTYHUNK ISLAND, Mass. — Tony Horwitz’s new book, “A Voyage Long and Strange,” is about the American history most Americans never learned, including the story of the short-lived, early-17th-century colony established on this windswept island eight miles west of Martha’s Vineyard. The book starts with the Viking discovery of North America, dispels a number of myths about Columbus (a much lousier navigator than we were taught) and then traces the various Spanish and French explorations of America before turning to the English settlements at Jamestown and Plymouth. That the Pilgrims were very tardy latecomers is one of the themes of “A Voyage Long and ...

Carter's Role in Zimbabwe

President Carter's most recent moralizing on American foreign policy in the Middle East is exasperating particularly in light of President Mugabe's misrule of Zimbabwe, where Mr. Carter's role in bringing the dictator to power has been mostly forgotten. Mr. Mugabe is one of the nastiest dictators in Africa — he has inflicted a "silent genocide" by starving his own people. The effects of his authoritarian rule have been made all the worse by his staying power. In more than 27 years as head of state, Mr. Mugabe has turned one of Africa's most productive economies into a shambles. A country whose currency once beat the British pound now boasts an inflation rate ...
