Both Sides Lose On The Hill Battle
Today on Liberty's Kids, Battle of Bunker Hill. Also, our e-book of the day is a play in five parts on the Battle of Bunker Hill. All part of our Liberty Education Series. Our freedom was paid for in blood. It was a very long hard struggle for independence. These days, most Americans have no idea what took place in our own history and our education system refuses to cover American history the way it should cover it.
Therefore, we continue to see our freedoms taken away on a daily basis by a bunch of Benedict Arnold politicians and businesses. The only way to show people what it is that they have and are giving up is to educate them the best way possible and hope that the education sticks.

Sherlock Homles - Pearl of Death Movie
Sherlock Holmes in the Pearl of Death. Classic Sunday Movie.
The Pearl of Death is a 1944 Sherlock Holmes film starring Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, the ninth of fourteen such films the pair made. The story is loosely based on Conan Doyle's short story "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" but features some additions, such as Evelyn Ankers as an accomplice of the villain, played by Miles Mander, and Rondo Hatton as a brutal killer.
When a pearl with a sinister reputation for causing misfortune to its owners is stolen from a museum by a master criminal because of Sherlock Holmes' show-boating, he is naturally obliged to find it. Soon, he learns of a series of brutal murders that seemed to have been commited by a malevolent man mountain known only as the Creeper. Now, Holmes must deal with the seemingly overwhelming menace of this man and his boss in order to retrieve the pearl.
