Daguerreotype portrait possibly of a group of employees of the London merchant bank of Frederick Huth and Company taken somewhere in the United States, 1848
This one is interesting because they're smiling.
Possibly my favorite...
1/4 plate daguerreotype of young boy holding a now rare automation dancing doll. Notice his mom is holding it too. Even in the 1850s this was a expensive toy.

[Trigger warning] "Museu da Loucura" (Museum of Madness), formerly known as Hospital Colônia was a psychiatric hospital founded in 1903. The institution was located in the Brazilian city of Barbacena, Minas Gerais. From its foundation to 1980, Colônia was theatre of a genocide.
By 1960, Colônia was operating heavily over capacity and had over 5.000 patients. Most of them were always partially dressed, some were fully naked and forced to labor, including children, elders and people with disabilities.
At least 16 people perished everyday due to sickness, malnutrition, heat shock due to exposure to low temperatures and Scottish showers, electroconvulsive therapy or murder.

Mathew Brady, Civil War photographer, died #OnThisDay in 1896.

Brady opened his own studio in New York in 1844, and photographed Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, and Abraham Lincoln, among other public figures.
During the war, Brady spent over $100,000 to create over 10,000 plates. He expected the US government to buy the photographs when the war ended. When the government refused to do so he was forced to sell his New York City studio and go into bankruptcy.
Congress granted Brady $25,000 in 1875, but he remained deeply in debt. The public was unwilling to dwell on the gruesomeness of the war after it had ended, and so private collectors were scarce.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.

Well now, this article comes across my desk twice in 24 hrs & I've been aware of this fact & how it fits into the very complex multilayered fact patterns I've been posting out in all of my threadstorms in the last month I just haven't meandered my way into weaving in yet till now
This takes us all the way back to Perestroika & the fall of the Berlin Wall & the diaspora of senior Soviet officials into the new oligarchy & senior & most sinister KGB officials into the Russian Mafia & is at the very core of the launch of The Perestroika Deception.
There are 7 key American names involved in this & I'll deal mostly with them. You can read the WSJ article for complete context including the Russians and all the cash, but I'm focusing on who in America has been instrumental in aiding & abetting Soviet subversion & precisely how
