1. In 1834, after a figurehead of reviled President Andrew Jackson was added to the USS Constitution, a young Captain Samuel Worthington Dewey rowed out under cover of night and sawed off the top of his head.

2. This conspicuous act of incivility made the dashing young Dewey (shown in a painting commissioned by an admirer) something of a folk hero. He went to Washington to return the head to its model. Jackson was indisposed, so he handed it back to an astonished Van Buren.

3. The whole story is wild, and you can read more here. (ussconstitutionmuseum.org/2015/07/02/off…) But I have to share this with you because I just saw Dewey’s personal seal, riffing off Caesar: I came, I saw, I conquered.

I can’t get over how great this is.

910. We resume 'Modern' Indian History Part 17 – The battles for the land of India by the Europeans and the natives – 1757 to 1900 – Section 9 – The second Anglo-Mysore War

911. During the lengthy conflict with the Marathas, Hyder had several times requested the assistance of the British East India Company, and it had each time been refused, in part due to the influence at Madras, of Hyder’s enemy, the Nawab of Arcot.

912. The British had also angered the Marathas by repudiating treaties, with whom they were at war for much of the 1770s, and they had also upset the Nizam of Hyderabad Asaf Jah II over their occupation of Guntur.

Before The Income Tax, Our Nation Was Supported By Tariffs newswithviews.com/before-the-inc…

Under free trade, the trader is the master and the producer the slave. Protection is but the law of nature, the law of self-preservation, of self-development, of securing the highest and best destiny of the race of man.

Free trade destroys the dignity and independence of American labor… It will take away from the people of this country who work for a living— and the majority of them live by the sweat of their faces— it will take from them heart and home and hope. It will be self-destruction. —

1.

After the election, they realized there was no way the things they’ve done, the plans they had, would remain a secret. They went so far as to Plan and Execute an Attempted Coup against the President of the United States.

Now … Game Over !

The Hidden History of the Incredibly Evil Khazarian Mafia (Updated)
Secret History of Khazarian Mafia and its evil plan to hijack the whole world now revealed for first time.
By Preston James, Ph.D -March 8, 2015
(condensed)

The history of the Khazarians, specifically the Khazarian Mafia (KM), the World’s largest Organized Crime Syndicate that the Khazarian oligarchy morphed into by their deployment of Babylonian Money-Magick, has been nearly completely excised from the history books.

KM knows it can't operate or exist without abject secrecy, & has spent a lot of money having its history excised from the history books to prevent citizens of the World from learning about its “Evil beyond imagination”, that empowers this World’s largest Organized Crime Cabal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
