We Invade At Midnight - The Battle Begins For Suppression

Paul Revere's Midnight Ride" target="_blank">Paul Revere's Midnight Ride from Chuck Thompson

Paul Revere's Midnight Ride.  See the Liberty's Kids video and then read the short story right here on GVLN.  An incredible story of patriotism and determination.  There are several issues we see with Liberty's Kids.  We very much like these videos but notice that they lack one of the primary reasons and foundations to our independence.  Freedom of religion and the fact that this nation was founded on the principles of Christianity.  Using Benjamin Franklin as the main character to build all the stories around allows the creators of the series to avoid that aspect of our American past.

  We are debating whether or not to start another educational series showing how Christianity was very much a part of the American Revolution and never would have succeeded without it.  Our Constitution is based on Christian principles and according to the words of John Adams, will serve no other.

Free downloads of the story of Paul Revere's Midnight Ride are available on our SlideShare account.

 

This is a nice short video recreating the famous ride.  Well done.

2 Largest Terrorist Threats To Our Government Right Now

English: The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution Česky: Originál Listiny práv, prvních deseti dodatků k Ústavě Spojených států amerických Deutsch: Die Bill of Rights genannten ersten zehn Zusatzartikel zur US-amerikanischen Verfassung, die den Bürgern bestimmte Grundrechte garantieren Español: La Carta de Derechos de los Estados Unidos, el término por el que se conocen las diez primeras enmiendas de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos de América (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Below are the two largest terrorist threats to our government right now.  Nothing is more important than to defeat these threats.  It has become imperative to make sure that these threats are removed from our government and our nation so that we may move forward in peace and harmony.   The United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

  We also have the Brooklyn bridge for sale as well as downtown Manhattan.  We are taking sealed bids on these and the winner has to move their winnings from the original places where they are presently located.  We thought about eBay sales here but didn't want all the publicity.  

  Of course we are not serious.  It has become serious contention these days that our US Constitution as well as our Bill of Rights are being eroded at very alarming rates these days.  We agree that they are.

  So below are not only copies of our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, but also a copy of an e-book, In Defense of the Constitution.  All available for free downloads from our SlideShare site.  We need not surrender our freedoms for false promises and false security.   We are also putting up a copy of Watch Out For Big Talk, the political cartoon that has been grabbing tremendous attention around the Internet lately.  A must read for every American.

Rosewell's Legacies Continue To Live On

Rosewell Ruins - By Chuck Thompson of TTC Media (Photo credit: Battleofthehook)

American History" target="_blank">Rosewell Ruins and American History from Chuck Thompson

Rosewell, the mansion and one of the finest homes built in all of colonial America may be in ruins today, but it's legacies continue to live on in both the Commonwealth of Virginia as well as the United States as a whole.  With Mann Page who was one of Virginia's governor's and Thomas Jefferson who spent a great deal of time with his friend Mann Page, the seeds of liberty were well sown in this home.  It has been a Gloucester rumor that the Declaration of Independence were drafted here.  Though there is no evidence to support the idea that Jefferson came back to Gloucester to do so, there is a reasonable argument that can be made that through the many conversations between Mann Page and Thomas Jefferson, the ideas for such a draft did originate here.  So it becomes a matter of semantics.

  Rosewell Ruins is the focus of our new free tools for local businesses.  We have designed an advertising piece around the famous ruins in order to help local businesses promote themselves and at the same time promote tourism, history and the Rosewell Foundation all in one single shot.  We are also giving away a free e-book of Gloucester, Virginia history 1893 along with this ad.  Businesses will be able to copy a link for the download of the e-book to their site and give away this e-book to their customers and their customers will never know where it actually came from.

  There are more of these types of ads coming for local businesses as well and businesses can mix and match or just stick to one ad that they want to work with.  There are no costs to any of the businesses to get involved in sponsoring any of the ads.  The only real costs are for printing the pages of the ads for distribution plus the time it takes to set up each ad for the individual business that the business is in complete control of.

  We are hosting and licensing the source files for local businesses here and the information for this ad campaign will be available by May 8th, 2013 if not sooner.  We are also hosting and licensing the e-books for business distribution.  There are no costs for this either.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5NJpRCvjyV8V2VUZVE4RkxzLWM/edit?usp=sharing  This is the download link to the free e-book on Gloucester History written in 1893.  The e-book itself is an historical piece of history in electronic form.  It's free to everyone.  This will also be the same link put up along with the source files shortly.

A History of Gloucester, Virginia 1893 from Chuck Thompson

This is a copy of the book and can be read right here online.  It can also be downloaded from our SlideShare account.  Businesses can also host the SlideShare e-book on their site if they think it would help.  We hope local business enjoy these new tools.
