Our society is so close to total collapse. This woman is a buffoon. Her profession is to lie to herself and others. What’s the point of recognizing evils in the past if you’re utterly blind and subservient to evil in the present. 🥴🤤

Love Phil! I have had the pleasure of performing with Phil (and Billy Branch, Sam Lay, Corky Siegal, Jim Schwall and Rollo Radford) before 3,000 happy people at Chicago's Symphony Center.
The ambrotype "family tree" is wonderful! Thanks for sharing your conservation efforts. Do you intend to keep it intact? What will you do with the genealogical information on the back? I hope that information can be put in a finding aid at some point.
Cant understand a word he says What language is that?
That is English spoken with a Virginia Tidewater accent.
Who exactly was the man in the assembly space referring to as Jews? The European converts to Judaism and their descendants in Europe and the USA, citizens of Euro-Isreal? 2. How come Ethnic Jews with middle Eadtern DNA are living in peace with their Middle Eastern peoples and other Asians in the Eastern world?! 3. Your reference to the indigenous peoples (First Nations) of America is on point).
Could completely understand why Native Americans thought about the food being poisoned. Our food is not beneficial to us now and does not provide the proper nutrients needed!
One of the inmates in Russ's book was my direct supervisor in the US Navy. Lt. Andrew Charbrol. I worked at Norfolk/Optevfor in the master at arms office. Charbrol was my supervisor for a year and his office was about 20 feet from mine. One time I made a mistake and did something I should not have done. Lt. Charbrol took my mistake and made it a personal offense against him. He told me that growing up in the Virgin Islands in elementary school that a classmate took an eraser from him and he, "went berserk" on the kid until the kid relented, and was basically unconscious. If I were female, I probably would've ended up dead at his hands, somehow. I found the information on his crimes and execution accidentally. I was surprised that all of this had occurred, but not surprised that he could do something like this. 😮😮 I wish I could talk with Russ and find out how the bad lieutenant was in his final time on earth. I ordered the book and should get it in a few days. I can only imagine how life must be for Charbrol's, former wife and sons. he certainly left a tremendous amount of damage for people to deal with for years to come....contact: scotttish@protonmail.com

This book is so informative and gives me the confidence to claim who I am and is rooted in my ancestry as I am a Transgender Female or gender fluid, maybe she/they.
I was reading Mary Mcleod Bethune, "National Council.." and Maggie Walker was mentioned. I got excited and looked her up. Because I know that there are myriads of other leaders who contributed to the fight of oppression who we are unaware.
Wonderful. See you soon. On the same journey
Knowing the History or your state is important considering each state having it's own constitution and legislative body. Most do forget that the United States of America parted ways with the British due to it's ranking of kingdoms and whatnot. Appreciate receiving more facts and the research being done!
And it's where General Lee accepted his appointment to Command of all Virginia state forces.
