Josh Shapiro, you are EVIL of the WORST KIND!! Your involvement in the STOLEN JUSTICE in this case will soon be reversed, and those of you who covered up this horrific crime will pay!
President Biden’s illegal refusal to release the JFK assassination records and his reckless escalations in Ukraine remind us of New Orleans DA Jim Garrison’s singularly insightful quote from his book, Heritage of Stone:
“Until the work of the Kennedy assassins is undone, Presidents will come and go but the warfare machine and its extensive intelligence tentacles, domestic as well as foreign, will remain in control. The assassination reduced the President of the United States to a transient official, a servant of the warfare conglomerate. His assignment is to speak as often as possible about the nation’s desire for peace, while he serves as a business agent with Congress for the military and their hardware manufacturers.”

The Constitution of the United States of America is the greatest document ever created by man. Even its inherent flaws were fixable due to ingenious self-healing mechanisms of amendment and correction. The perfect prescience of its structure in retrospect is a testimony to the brilliant yet simple common sense of the Founding Fathers.
New Hampshire ratifies the US Constitution
On this day in history, June 21, 1788, New Hampshire ratifies the US Constitution. The 9th state to do so, this ratification makes the new Constitution the official law of the land, according to its requirement that 9 of the original 12 involved in its creation must ratify it in order for it to take effect. (Rhode Island was not a part of the Constitution's creation.)
The US Constitution is the longest existing national constitution in the world. Its creation was a history changing event that guaranteed the rights of the average person against arbitrary and tyrannical government. Its adoption is arguably one of the greatest events in human history. Nations around the world have sought to emulate its principles ever since its adoption.
The United States Constitution enshrines the rights of the people by limiting the powers of the federal government. It guarantees people the right to self-rule in their local states with only certain powers granted to the federal government. The Constitution defines the basic structure of the United States government, which is a lawmaking body (the legislature) elected by the citizens of the states, an executive (the President) charged with carrying out those laws and a judiciary (the Supreme Court and other federal courts) to decide cases of conflict.
The Constitution also guarantees sweeping rights to the people, such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to bear arms, the right to trial by jury, limitations on government powers, freedom from cruel and unusual punishments and many more.
The Constitution relies on several key doctrines such as "consent of the governed," "separation of powers," the idea that all men have the right to "life, liberty and property," that it is government's role to protect these rights, and the idea that government does not create or grant rights, but that these rights are granted to individuals by nature by virtue of their being human.
The Constitution was originally written as a remedy for the weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation, America's first governing document. The Articles had not created a strong enough central government to sustain and perpetuate itself. Many voices called for revising the Articles. The Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia from May through September of 1787 to draft the new document. The Constitution was then passed to the thirteen states. Each state held its own Constitutional convention to decide whether or not to ratify. The document required that 9 states ratify it in order for it to become law.
New Hampshire was the 9th state to vote in the affirmative on June 21, 1788, making the Constitution law for those states which had accepted it. Eleven of the original thirteen colonies had ratified it by July of that year and the new government formally started on March 4, 1789. By May of 1790, the final two holdouts, North Carolina and Rhode Island ratified the Constitution, making one new nation of the thirteen colonies which rebelled against Great Britain in the American Revolution.
Thank you to for these insightful and beautifully researched essays. https://t.co/plyDiXe5iw
Gustavus Rape was wounded at Cowpens and fought at Eutaw Springs, one of only five survivors in his platoon of 12 men. He also fought at Orangeburg and other engagements, a true Revolutionary War Hero.
He was my Great-Great…Grandfather.
Because the British were great colonial masters worldwide, the entry of other colonial entities like France into the War of Independence meant the American Revolution had become a global affair.
French forces attempt to break the Siege of Cuddalore
On this day in history, June 25, 1783, French forces attempt to break the Siege of Cuddalore, India, the last battle of the American Revolution. You may wonder what a battle in India had to do with the American Revolution! Actions of the war that occurred in places other than the thirteen colonies receive very little attention in American history textbooks!
France's entry into the American Revolution on the colonists' side was truly the beginning of the end for Britain's hope of reigning in her North American colonies. France's entry, and later the entry of the Netherlands and Spain, against Great Britain, meant that the theater of war expanded beyond just the 13 colonies into the West Indies, the Mediterranean, Africa and the Far East – basically anywhere Britain or France had colonies. Britain was forced to stretch her military resources all over the globe.
Parts of Eastern India were controlled by the British East India Company from the city of Madras at this time. The Kingdom of Mysore ruled much of southern India and was in conflict with the British. Mysore was also a French ally. When France joined the war, she immediately began attacking and subduing British holdings in India, assisted by Mysore's king, Hyder Ali. The city of Cuddalore on India's eastern coast was one such city captured from Britain by France at this time.
On June 7, 1783, British Major General James Stuart arrived and began to lay siege to Cuddalore with between 12,000 and 14,000 men, most of whom were Indian soldiers. Cuddalore was defended by Charles Joseph Patissier, the Marquis de Bussy-Castelnau, with around 10,000 French and Mysoreans. Stuart made a major assault on the city on the 13th which resulted in nearly 1,000 casualties to his own army and nearly 500 to the French. Both sides could ill afford such losses.
On the 20th, a French fleet arrived under the Bailli de Sufren. This fleet confronted a British fleet under Admiral, Sir Edward Hughes and drove them off, allowing de Sufren to land an additional 2,400 troops in Cuddalore. This naval battle is known as the Battle of Cuddalore, while the fight for the city is known as the Siege of Cuddalore.
With troop numbers now equal to Stuart's, de Bussy made a major attack from the city on June 25 to try to break the siege. Repeated attacks on the British lines made little progress with high casualties to the French. Several key French officers were captured, including a French marine named Jean Bernadotte who would later become the King of Sweden! The French finally gave up the attack and withdrew.
Major General Stuart now considered abandoning the siege. His troops were being decimated with disease and he felt abandoned by Madras after Admiral Hughes withdrew his navy. De Bussy began planning another assault on the British lines, but everything came to a stop on the 30th when a British ship arrived with the news that a peace treaty had been signed, ending the war between the Americans and French against the British. By July 2, the two sides agreed to a cessation of hostilities.
The Siege of Cuddalore was the last battle of the American Revolution, occurring even after the Treaty of Paris was signed. Cuddalore itself was given back to the British according to the terms of the treaty. Hostilities continued between Britain and the Kingdom of Mysore, however, until the signing of the Treaty of Mangalore brought that war to an end in March, 1784.

I was making another movie at the time, and regrettably had to decline pursuing the conversation further. Bob Zemeckis always had me on short lists going forward on his other projects. We finally got to work together on CONTACT. Bob is a great director and a really nice guy.
Ah, yes. THE GENERAL’S DAUGHTER. I liked working with John Travolta and a wonderful cast. I grew up on or around military bases as a young child. The environment and the story spoke to me. I also liked the challenge of playing a man with a secret.
Bill Gates is a Biological, Chemical, and Psychological Terrorist. A high-ranking member of the ‘New World Order’…one of his ‘Weapons of Choice’ is the ‘Problem-Reaction-Solution’ grenade. This Satanic Marxist uses the The Hegelian Dialectic as the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution. His hope is that we remain locked into dialectical thinking so we cannot see outside of the box.

Let’s replace the vicious cycle of escalation with a virtuous cycle of peacebuilding. Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal just issued a resolution threatening Russia with dire consequences in response to its stationing of nuclear weapons in Belarus. I agree that Russia should remove those weapons. And as a first step, the U.S. can start removing its nukes from Germany, Italy, Belgium, Turkey, and the Netherlands, along with its new missile bases in Romania and Poland. #Kennedy24

@RobertKennedyJr@elonmusk I like a lot of your stances Robert but the Democrats will never allow you the nomination. They rig primaries all the time. You'll have to inevitably run as an independent. You split votes off from both parties.
@elonmusk The United States is supposed to be a champion of freedom in the world. My administration will restore that role. We will end the censorship-industrial complex.
.@elonmusk says Twitter has “no actual choice” about government censorship requests. He is pretty much correct. Private companies can resist, but governments can shut down platforms like Twitter or fine them into oblivion. Enough! I’m going to put a stop to that, at least in the U.S. #Kennedy24
