The Captain Johann von Ewald Diaries: Maps of the Revolutionary War Detail of artwork from a map of the Province of New Jersey, 1777. Captain Johann von Ewald (1744-1813), was a Hessian officer who came to America in 1776 with the British military forces. Von Ewald was a participant in many of the significant battles of the war, and was with Lord Cornwallis at the surrender of Yorktown in 1781. He kept a diary of his experiences throughout the Revolutionary War, but just as importantly created numerous maps of the areas he was in, with the placement of troops and fortifications. The diary was acquired following World War II by a Bloomsburg native, Major Joseph P. Tustin, a ...
10 Days That Changed History

IT'S a badly kept secret among scholars of American history that nothing much really happened on Thursday, July 4, 1776. Although this date is emblazoned on the Declaration, the Colonies had actually voted for independence two days earlier; the document wasn't signed until a month later. When John Adams predicted that the "great anniversary festival" would be celebrated forever, from one end of the continent to the other, he was talking about July 2. Indeed, the dates that truly made a difference aren't always the ones we know by heart; frequently, they've languished in dusty oblivion. The 10 days that follow — obscure as some are — changed American history. (In some ...
Adolph Eichmann, Iran and the Holocaust Conference

Adolph Eichmann, Iran and the Holocaust Conference T Stokes – June 29, 2006 The coming Holocaust conference sponsored by Iran has caused tremors of consternation inside Israel. So much so, a Mossad informant tells me, that it will be closely monitored for possible reprisal action. It is this that has prompted the recent release of information on Adolf Eichmann, in an attempt to steal the thunder of what may come out. So although weeded and sanitized, we can expect more slanted documentation to be released in the months ahead. Allied intelligence culled information over many years from retired intelligence sources, the wartime Jewish underground, Mossad, G.R.U and particularly ...

IS BUILDING SEVEN THE SMOKING GUN OF 9/11? © 2006 by G. Edward Griffin. Updated 2006 June 28 Many subscribers have asked my opinion of the possibility that, on 9/11, the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down by controlled demolition. My view is that all the evidence points in that direction, but I have been reluctant to dwell on the issue because it can get people sidetracked from other issues about which there can be no question â€" such as the fact that CFR controllers of the Bush Administration had ample foreknowledge of the attacks but decided to allow them. One really doesn't need to go any further than that to understand that the entire War on ...

What We Demand of Modern Jewry(portions of a speech that was delivered at the Christian Social Workers' party rally of September 19, 1879) ...We do not believe the end of the German spirit to be so near. Peoples as well as individuals can be reborn. Germany, and Berlin too, will recover and rid themselves of the foreign spirit. But there are symptoms of the presence of a disease: our national body is plagued by social abuses, and social hostility never exists without reason. Christians as well as Jews should be seriously concerned lest this enmity turn into hatred. For the rumbling of a far-off thunderstorm can already be heard. It is strange indeed that the Jewish liberal press does not ...

06/23/06 "Information Clearing House" -- -- National Public Radio foreign correspondent Loren Jenkins, serving in NPR's Baghdad bureau, met earlier this month with a senior Shiite cleric, a man who was described in the NPR report as "a moderate" and as a person trying to lead his Shiite followers into practicing peace and reconciliation. He had been jailed by Saddam Hussein and forced into exile. Jenkins asked him: "What would you think if you had to go back to Saddam Hussein?" The cleric replied that he'd "rather see Iraq under Saddam Hussein than the way it is now."[1] When one considers what the people of Iraq have experienced as a result of the ...
Zionism and the Third Reich

Institute for Historical Review Zionism and the Third Reich by Mark Weber Early in 1935, a passenger ship bound for Haifa in Palestine left the German port of Bremerhaven. Its stern bore the Hebrew letters for its name, "Tel Aviv," while a swastika banner fluttered from the mast. And although the ship was Zionist-owned, its captain was a National Socialist Party member. Many years later a traveler aboard the ship recalled this symbolic combination as a "metaphysical absurdity."1 Absurd or not, this is but one vignette from a little-known chapter of history: The wide-ranging collaboration between Zionism and Hitler's Third Reich.

Atrocities in the 'Good War': A Tract for Today

Even Americans who detest war and recognize that nearly every war is the product of mendacious, power-hungry political leaders generally make an exception for World War II, the so-called Good War. They believe that the Americans fought for an entirely good and proper cause, that they fought only after having been attacked without provocation, that their enemies were vile monsters, and that their victory made the world a better and more hopeful place for all mankind. In short, they believe in a myth. Perhaps they do so in part because so many of those who composed the so-called Greatest Generation had engaged personally in the war and needed a way to understand their involvement and to ...
A Dynasty of Mass Murderers: Bush Family Nazis

Four generations of the sociopathic predator George W. Bush family have been attacking the human race through stealth practices, and contributing to the mass murder of millions of people. The Bush family has financed, aided and abetted, and collaborated with the most evil dictators and tyrants of the 20th century. The story is too complicated as told by most historians, so this is an attempt to give a concise overview of the key points of this geneology of monsters which can be easily grasped by the general public. Of course this is a simplification and many links are provided to documentation online. More complete history is found in books in libraries which are copyrighted and therefore ...

Florida Bans "Revisionist History" In Public Schools June 15, 2006 Bryan McKay Straight from the tip of America's wang comes the report that the Florida state government has officially banned the teaching of "revisionist history" in public classrooms. Well, not quite, but the bill, recently signed into effect by Governor Jeb Bush, maintains that American history shall be viewed as factual, not as constructed, shall be viewed as knowable, teachable and testable, and shall be defined as the creation of a new nation based largely on the universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence. Aside from a missing serial comma (which, while technically not ...

Most Liberals arising Thursday morning assumed it was just another great day to attack the GOP, the war in Iraq, and, especially, GW Bush. Every day is great for tearing America down and advancing the interests of terrorism. Right, libs? Well, wake up leftist wackos! There is actually some GOOD news for REAL Americans: Abu Musab Zarqawi, leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, was killed by a U.S. airstrike! Repeat: Zarqawi is dead! At the hands of that awful US military liberals love to hate! On the bright side, liberals can spend the weekend dwelling on these uplifting facts: *Osama bin Laden is still on the loose *Gasoline prices are much, much higher than a year ago *GW Bush's poll ...

The Holocaust: Let's Hear Both Sides By Mark Weber Everyone has heard that the Nazi regime systematically killed some six million Jews in Europe during World War II, most of them in gas chambers. We’re told this repeatedly on television, in motion pictures, in books, and in newspaper and magazine articles. Holocaust education courses are obligatory in many schools. Holocaust remembrance ceremonies are held annually across the country. Every large American city has at least one Holocaust museum. In Washington, DC, the official US Holocaust Memorial Museum attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Scholars Challenge Holocaust Story But not everyone accepts the familiar ...

Reporter returns looted portrait The 16th century portrait measures only 12cm by 16cmEnlarge ImageBBC correspondent Charles Wheeler has returned a painting to a German museum after discovering it was looted during World War II. Wheeler received the 16th Century portrait of Eleonora of Toledo as a gift from a German farmer in 1952. He assumed it was a copy - but last year discovered the painting, by Florentine artist Alessandro Allori, was an original looted from Berlin. He returned the painting to the city's Gemaldegalerie on Wednesday. "I'm rather pleased about it all," Wheeler told the BBC News website.

They also help the rest of us understand the toll that wars exert on those who fight them. In honor of Memorial Day, we present these letters written by American soldiers, battling in conflicts from the Mexican-American War to Iraq.The letters were taken from collections of the Legacy Project — a volunteer group headed by Andrew Carroll that preserves ...
Domestic Surveillance: The History of Operation CHAOS

Verne Lyon is a former CIA undercover operative who is now a director of the Des Moines Hispanic Ministry. For over fifteen years, the CIA, with assistance from numerous government agencies, conducted a massive illegal domestic covert operation called Operation CHAOS. It was one of the largest and most pervasive domestic surveillance programs in the history of this country. Throughout the duration of CHAOS, the CIA spied on thousands of U.S. citizens. The CIA went to great lengths to conceal this operation from the public while every president from Eisenhower to Nixon exploited CHAOS for his own political ends. One can trace the beginnings of Operation CHAOS to 1959 when Eisenhower used ...

(Swans - May 22, 2006) World War I was the most horrific war in modern history. Unlike the remote, computer-dominated battles in Iraq, it involved violent hand-to-hand combat and was fought by soldiers steeped in muddy trenches often trying to survive in below-freezing temperatures. It was the world's first taste of mechanized warfare and revealed a degree of atrocity hitherto unknown and inconceivable. Its consequences -- dismembered veterans who suffered from shell shock and the ravages of poison gas -- appalled the civilian populations into which these shattered men were unceremoniously dumped. It destroyed more than lives and families; it shattered certain tenets of civilization which ...
The Case For The Confederacy

The Case For The Confederacy by Joseph Sobran As the Civil War ended in May 1865, Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, was captured by Union troops. He was put in painful shackles and held in prison for two years, in solitary confinement, on charges of treason and conspiring to kill Abraham Lincoln. Davis was never brought to trial. The absurd charge of plotting Lincoln's death was soon thrown out. Eventually the charge of treason was dropped too, because Davis' enemies knew that his defense would probably deal a powerful blow to Union propaganda. So he was denied the day in court he passionately craved. What would Davis have said in court? Two Southern partisans of the ...
Satanism and the History of Wicca [Full Thread]

In their attempts to dissociate themselves from Satanism, Wiccans have tended to distort their own history. Wicca and Satanism are indeed very distinct religious categories. But there are some intimate historical ties between the two, as even some Wiccan scholars are finally starting to admit. See, for example, Aidan Kelly's book Crafting the Art of Magic (pp.21-22, 25-26, and 176). Wicca is not "the Old Religion", though it does draw inspiration from various old religions. Wicca as we now know it is derived from 19th-century occult philosophy -- including literary Satanic philosophy, among others -- projected onto a non-Christian Goddess and God, plus some de-Christianized ...

Genesis of the Civil War by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. "The falsification of history has done more to impede human development than any one thing known to mankind" Rousseau 1712-1778 The historical event that looms largest in American public consciousness is the Civil War. One-hundred thirty-nine years after the first shot was fired, its genesis is still fiercely debated and its symbols heralded and protested. And no wonder: the event transformed the American regime from a federalist system based on freedom to a centralized state that circumscribed liberty in the name of public order. The cataclysmic event massacred a generation of young men, burned and looted the Southern ...

ROUSES POINT, N.Y. -- A Civil War-era fort is for sale on eBay. Fort Montgomery, built in 1844, was manned during the war but never saw any action.

President Bush has not fired any of the architects of the Iraq war. In fact, a review of the key planners of the conflict reveals that they have been rewarded – not blamed – for their incompetence. PAUL WOLFOWITZ Role In Going To War: Wolfowitz said the U.S. would be greeted as liberators, that Iraqi oil money for pay for the reconstruction, and that Gen.

Two Politically Motivated Decisions
Truman Adviser Recalls May 14,1948 US Decision to Recognize Israel
By Richard H. Curtiss With US President George Bush increasingly frustrated by the Israeli-Palestinian problem, a new generation of Americans is asking an old question: Why must the US deal with this seemingly intractable dispute?
The answer, unfortunately, is that the US is largely responsible for the problem because of two American decisions in 1947 and 1948. Now, only the US can break the impasse, by forcing its Israeli client state to give back all or most of the land the United Nations allotted to Muslim and Christian inhabitants when it partitioned Palestine in 1947.
