American Revolution - Liberty's Kids - Going Home

Liberty's Kids, episode number 39, Going Home.  Even though the war was pretty much over, other troubles were just beginning.  The independence we just own had it's own new issues that were being realized.  The foundations for this new nation had to be built in order to make sure this new nation could survive.

As we end this section working with Liberty's Kids, which has been such a pleasure, we have been stating that we have every intention of continuing our Liberty Education Series and we already have a number of other videos we will be working with along with continuing to bring books and articles about our nations history.  Plus we are moving ever closer to an extraordinary event coming to Gloucester, Virginia in October known as the Battle of the Hook.

  The Battle of the Hook is an American Revolutionary battle that took place before the battle in Yorktown happened, effectively cutting off Lord Cornwallis's planned retreat route through Gloucester, Virginia.  Cornwallis really was surrounded.  If you look at the Articles of Capitulation of Lord Cornwallis that we published here a few days ago, you will see that not only did Lord Cornwallis surrender at Yorktown, but at Gloucester, Virginia as well.

  This is rarely covered in the history books as it is not as exciting as the rest of the story of the final defeat.  Even the Liberty's Kids videos missed this.  October 19th and 20th, 2013, one of the nations largest Revolutionary War re enactments will take place on the grounds of George Washington's grandfather's estate, Warner Hall, in Gloucester and will include sea battles.

  That is truly exciting.  One of the area's seldom covered about the American Revolution are the prisoner's of this battle.  So today we are bringing you a special e-book that covers just that.

Prisoners of The American Revolution from Chuck Thompson

This is a custom edition we put together.  Nathan Hale is on the cover of this edition being questioned by the enemy in Montreal.  This e-book is also great for those researching family genealogy.  We are also including one of our Fife and Drum videos here as part of the American celebration of History.

GVLN - Notes from the Largest Earth Day Rally of 2012- These People Are Nuts

By Pierre Lussier, Jour de la Terre Québec

Talking about what happened in Montréal at 2 o'clock on Sunday, the 22^nd of April, 2012, feels like describing a perfect storm touching the ground.

12:30pm, Place des festivals

Basically, nothing out of the ordinary seems to be going on. I've organized the rally at COP 11 and sixteen Earth Days. I should be used to this by now. The difference now is that you just know you’re never ever going to be ready. Do I feel confident? Yes, I can deal with this, make it right. How many people will it be? How many people really fit into this place anyway? 100 K, yes; 150 K, I'm not sure; 250 K, never. I have to get this TV cart out of the way. It's the third time they’ve come and parked it in the middle of the place, and so it goes “you cannot park here” “yes but I'm live in 5,” “well, we're live 24-7, so for now please move on.” This is the center of what is soon to be a sea of people. No car please. NOW. How did I get here? Must have been that girl at the rave in 1995; she looked at me and then handed something to me. Or is it when the celebrated director, Dominic Champagne (LOVE, the story of the Beatles by Cirque du Soleil, Cabaret Neiges Noirs, etc.), came into Jour de la Terre offices.

23^rd of January

Dominic was very disappointed that the 2011 rally protesting Canada's withdrawal from the Kyoto protocol did not attract more participants. He was now on a mission. He professed that one day he would mobilize 100,000 people, and that day was going to be Earth Day 2012. Already on the night of the failed rally against the failing Canadian government Dominic was drafting a manifesto for the common good. What he wanted was to go further than the anti-fracking movement that he was fightingfor; and me, I was in for the number. 100,000 people, all right, let’s do it. Soon after, Dominic got all his artist friends to attend a meeting at our offices. Along came all the key environmental organizations. We did not want to do anything ordinary, we did not want to do just another rally. Dominic came up with the idea of a human tree; he could ask his friends, a choreographer from Le Cirque and André Lavallée (the chief of staff of the Montreal mayor). I proposed the place to do it. We thought that the Mount Royal mountain would be the place. Where else could be more symbolic of Montreal and of the common good? The ideas were good but not without obstacles. First, we had to figure out who's doing it and then who was paying for it. Five environmental organizations: Greenpeace, Equiterre, David Suzuki Foundation, l'AQLPA and Jour de la Terre Québec, NGOs and the three biggest unions, CSN, CSQ and FTQ formed a committee of Jour de la Terre Québec.This committee would be autonomous and responsible for everything, including finances. It would communicate as 22 April http://22avril.org/.

Save the earth while creating a huge crowd that blocks all traffic on a major highway and stops commerce plus creates tons of pollution and waste from all the garbage all these nuts left behind.  Yeah, all this makes sense.  And where did they all go to the bathroom?  250,000 people swarm a Canadian city to pollute the heck out of it and choke it.  Great idea for an earth day.  They have a video where they all look like a swarm of killer ants taking over a picnic.  The most anti green green movement anyone could care to see.  What other kind of bright ideas do these nuts have?  They call this sending their love to mother earth.  We call it hypocrisy.
