God In America, Part One: An Exercise in the Evangelical Whig View of Early American Religious History
Posted by John Fea

Cross-posted at The Way of Improvement Leads Home
I just got done watching Part 1 of the PBS series "God in America." I know I am behind (Part 2 aired tonight), but such is the life of a blogger, professor, and a new department chair.
The series begins with the Franciscan attempts to convert the Pueblo Indians to Christianity in the 17th century. This, of course, is a sad chapter in American history. The Spanish friars were militant. Their evangelistic zeal led to the destruction of Pueblo sacred sites and all sorts of brutality. The high point of this story is the Pueblo revolt of 1680, the Indian rebellion that put an end to the Spanish presence in the west and proved that Christianity would not come to America unchanged.
This is a nice way to begin, but it has absolutely no connection to the rest of Part One's narrative. One gets the impression that this was just tacked on to the beginning of the program because SOMETHING needed to be said about native Americans. The story line of the native Americans, and the Spanish for that matter, are quickly dropped in favor of what I call in the title of this post the "evangelical Whig view" of American history. This script could have been written by George Bancroft.
And where is slave religion? (Let's hope it is discussed later in the series).
The Puritans are next. Steven Prothero of Boston University establishes himself as our guide through this history, but we also hear from a star-studded lineup of historians that include Michael Winship, Frank Lambert, Mary Beth Norton, Stephen Marini
Much time is spent on Anne Hutchinson. Too much time. Prothero is very good at showing the Protestant individualism of the Puritans and how Hutchinson, in some ways, seemed more Protestant than the Puritans. Hutchinson is clearly the star. There is more time spent on her story than on the Puritans who removed her from the colony. Was the Hutchinson trial really the most important moment in 17th century New England history? Would the people living in Puritan New England have seen it this way? Absolutely not. The Halfway Covenant, King Philips War, the Salem Witch Trials, and a host of other events would have been more important to the Puritan "city on a hill," but these events do not fit easily into the Whig narrative.
The portrayal of the Hutchinson trial is well-acted and the trial transcript is used as the script. Winship claims that during this trial Hutchinson "rips him (John Winthrop) to shreds." Norton celebrates the rebellious spirit of Hutchinson. Prothero concludes that Hutchinson is the future of America--she represents liberty of conscience and religious freedom.
The documentary then jumps to George Whitefield. Marini stresses the individualism of evangelical religion. (By the way, I would love to take a class with Marini--so much passion and energy!) Harry Stout mentions Whitefield's appeal to the emotions and the imagination. Lambert connects Whitefield's evangelical, individualistic Protestantism to that of Hutchinson. A clear intellectual and spiritual genealogy is developing here.
The discussion of the First Great Awakening does a great job of explaining evangelicalism as a real and powerful religious movement that impacted people's lives. The documentary uses a host of quotes from the diaries of Whitefield converts to make this point. Very well done.
But overall the treatment of the Great Awakening is blatantly Whig. One is left with the impression that the Great Awakening was more of a political movement than it was a religious movement. Stout talks about the way Whitefield's evangelicalism challenged "the old aristocratic order" and even suggests that the Great Awakening led to the popular idea that "we are the people." Then Daniel Driesbach talks about the way that the Great Awakening brought the colonies together. One clearly gets the impression that these historians are setting us up for the American Revolution. I tell my students that the Great Awakening created a transatlantic religious network that made the colonies more British and Protestant. "God in America" would prefer to see it as the seedbed of individual liberty, revolution, and American identity.
And then, in the last three minutes of Part One, we get the triumph of the evangelical Whig narrative or, what Jon Butler has called "Born Again History."
The narrator states that people began to insist that it was their right to worship in the church of their choice. Evangelical religion is said to have provided the American Revolution with a sense of "moral" urgency. Prothero says that following the First Great Awakening, the Revolution was "inevitable" and "perfectly logical."
In the end, the story of "God in America"--at least early America-- is best told by following a direct line between Hutchinson and Whitefield, culminating in the American Revolution. At times I thought I was sitting in a lecture at Glenn Beck University.

No discussion of Anne Hutchinson can omit the monstrous birth, which I understand this program did. Evangelical Whiggism indeed!

Mary Beth Norton did mention the fact that she was a midwife--a fact that does not often make it into survey textbooks. But you are right--no monstrous birth.
After the endless praise this has gotten nearly everywhere, I am happy to hear that someone, somewhere has the same concerns I did about this.
G. Adams
I usually have students read John Winthrop's description of dissecting the "monstrous birth"--it's a great way to make the point that the Puritans were NOT LIKE US.
I was interviewed at an early stage of the planning of this program by telephone and I was already disturbed by how strongly they were emphasizing Anne Hutchinson. A well-documented but not critical episode, I think.

Thanks for your thoughtful commentary, John, as I won't get to view this until it is out on DVD.
I'm surprised by your description of the narrative since there has been so much advance praise for this project. I wonder if, as scholars, we won't always be disappointed by these productions. Inevitably, this relatively short series cannot cover the complexity and historical debates that we offer in our own courses (Glenn Beck and David Barton notwithstanding).
Don't get me wrong--it sounds like you've described a troubling example of a debatable (or even misleading) interpretation. But I imagine that the producers would justify omissions and even narrative choices in the name of brevity, simplicity, and (dare I say?) entertainment. Do we expect too much from this series or similar documentaries?
- John Fea at: October 13, 2010 at 7:31 AM said...
Brantley: I fully understand the decisions the producers and writers needed to make about what to keep in and what to take out, but I am not sure that this has anything to do with the overarching narrative. Thanks for the comment. Good to chat with you in an another venue other than the TWOILH.

I think one of the questions we're left with here is whether PBS would have run this series if it really were entirely about religious experiences of Americans, and not just about the role of religion in shaping American political and cultural traditions.
Last night our local PBS channel in Champaign-Urbana ran a story about the making of the supreme court case, McCollum v. Board of Education, which began here in town. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCollum_v._Board_of_Education The documentary was a celebration of Hugo Black's push for a "wall of separation" between church and state. I learned very little of exactly what kinds of things went on in the religious education classrooms that were held on school grounds, or the history of how religious education became so secondary to "public education." Should we call this Whig Secular Humanist history?
It's funny to me both that PBS (the most public of all stations) is running this series on religion (bravo to them!), and how the clear focus of attention is really secular American traditions, not the religious experiences themselves. I suppose there's nothing wrong with all this except that it's probably misnamed. Maybe something more fitting would be, "Religious People Have Meddling with Politics From the Beginning." I suppose we shouldn't have expected anything else.

Thanks for putting into words my unease with Episode One; I also was distressed by the soaring sound track and long landscape (or even worse, cloud, shots) with their evocations of the American sublime. Whiggish and exceptionalist, as I read it; can't recommend to my graduate students, other than as an exercise in critical reading of meta-histories....
- zapata at: October 13, 2010 at 10:19 AM said...
I agree with the critique that the Pueblo Revolt seems to be tacked onto the front, because "something had to be said about Native Americans." But, it does connect to the Whig view of history in a certain way. The portrayal perpetuates the old "Resistance/Accomodation" interpretive dichotomy and the "clash of civilizations" model of native/European encounters. This conveniently presents the Pueblo as yet another group that fought for freedom of religion and challenged Old World authoritarian religion right? Let's forget the evidence of Convento Kivas, blended Pueblo christian rituals before and during the revolt, and the hundreds of Pueblo converts who fled with the Spanish to El Paso because that doesn't fit the story.
Also, the idea that the revolt "ended Spanish presence in the west" is another Turneresque myth that I'm not sure if you are mocking or citing, but was thoroughly debunked by Bolton a century ago and the late, great David Weber more recently.
- John Fea at: October 13, 2010 at 10:28 AM said...
Zapata: Yes, well-put. I agree with your assessment here.
- January at: October 13, 2010 at 12:06 PM said...
Is there an agreed upon concept for referring to Winthrop's issue with Hutchinson? The Protestant principle of an individual's direct relationship to God does not entitle one to claim an epiphany. Surely Winthrop raised the problem of Hutchinson's capacity to distinguish God's message and one from Satan. When Emerson 300 years later insisted that one ought to have an original relationship to the divine, he did not mean that we might expect God to talk to us. Instead, does not the responsibility for and origin of inspiration remain with the individual?

Interesting how different the comments are here on this cross-posted item!
I have a post that takes your helpful criticism and proposes a way I might use them in my own courses. Take a look if you would:

Natural gas has delivered on the promise of clean, reliable and affordable energy from coast to coast. But in New England, the benefits of natural gas have been restrained. That's because there isn't enough basic infrastructure like pipelines and storage capacity to keep up with demand. And failure to fix these regional challenges can raise costs for families and businesses.
New England knows this all too well. The region's residents paid up to 69 percent more for their electricity than the national average during the winter of 2014-2015, while its industrial sector paid up to 90 percent more.
The natural gas industry is ready to make the private investments needed to ensure consumers have the energy they need at a price they can afford, but we need regional government cooperation and decisions that support building and maintaining the infrastructure that will unlock the benefits of natural gas for more of the regions businesses and residents.Read More

Nike SB's isn't the only Dunk you'll see this summer with stripes on the rear. This new Nike Dunk Low GS takes its 'Independence Day' inspiration to an obvious end, adding stars and stripes for one of the more patriotic shoes you'll ever see. White patent leather is laid over blue sections. the middle of which is patent itself, and covered in varying sizes of white stars. A vertically striped sockliner allows the red and white bars to declare independence from the Bruce Springsteen SBs, and they'll be out soon, so stick with Sneaker News for updates.

Since 1988, he has taught Aikido in various establishments in Lyon and its surroundings: such as Lyon 3 University, the Trade School of Lyon, Ecole Centrale and CESI (two engineering schools) and in some Aikido schools located in Oullins, Trevoux, Villeurbanne.
For him, Aikido is a way of personal research in where individuals are dedicated in order to identify and understand themselves as well as to deal with harmonious human relations based on self-awareness, trust and the respect of the others.
As a freelance consultant he has worked in companies, hospitals, what's more local authorities. He is especially involved in humanist management, stress, changes in the work environment and collective projects. Inspired from his martial experience of Sabre and the practise of Aïkishintaiso no michi the trainings he intends enable individuals in a company to gain common values and to have a clear view of the meaning and implication of their work.

No matter how many coats you have in your wardrobe, it's difficult not to invest in another when the new-season collections drop. I've built up a capsule collection of classic coats – a grey straight-cut masculine coat, a navy double-breasted military-style jacket, an elegant oversized cape, a black fitted leather biker jacket, and a teal single-breasted coat for when I need a pop of colour.
So for AW16, I'm searching for something a little different – a vibrant print maybe, an interesting texture (velvet perhaps?) or a striking silhouette. Here are some inspiring coats from the style setters on the streets of New York.
I adore the earthy maise colour of this stunning coat, and it's been styled beautifully with rich burgundy and bold blue. The pink boots add a quirky touch, but this fabulous coat, with its textured trim, would look equally good worn over black or navy.
Shades of blue can balance out the impact of a very vibrant print, as aqua hues have a more calming effect on the eye than fuchsias or reds, for instance. Also, they work well with denim, giving the overall look a more casual feel.
The simple colour-block trims on this coat have real impact. I also love the textured fabric. This coat can easily be belted to create an alternative look and a fresh silhouette.
If you want a statement coat, this is the one. A double tiered cape in blue with a statement bird print will definitely get you noticed. What I love most is the striking silhouette, which would look equally strong in black or grey. It creates just the right kind of theatre for AW16.

Representative of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic at the Minsk talks says the Ukrainian army has used mercenaries from the very beginning of the force operation in eastern Ukraine

Dead bodies in NATO uniforms, US weapons recovered from under debris of Donetsk airport
MOSCOW, January 26. /TASS/. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has offered no reaction to the fact that a lot of foreign-made weapons were found at the Donetsk airport after the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops, Denis Pushilin, a representative of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) at the Minsk talks, said on Monday.
"The weapons were not just found but demonstrated at a meeting of the Joint Center for Control and Coordination (JCCC) and representatives of the OSCE and Ukraine," he told the Russian television Channel One. "They offered no reactions, the only thing they said was 'we will write it down in the protocol' and nothing followed."
In his words, the Ukrainian army has used mercenaries from the very beginning of the force operation in eastern Ukraine. "There is little doubt they are there now," he said.

Last week, Eduard Basurin, a spokesman for the DPR defense ministry, said that dead bodies in NATO uniforms and a great number of US-made weapons had been recovered from under the debris of the Donetsk airport. "While examining the building of the Donetsk airport, we found a great number of American firearms, assault rifles and hand mortars, equipment and communications devices," he said. "We also found publications in European languages, including on religious matters."
Apart from that, "we found dead bodies in NATO uniforms under the debris in the new terminal. Personal belongings indicated that these people were foreign citizens contracted by private military companies who operated under the disguise of Ukrainian subversive groups," he said.

The Divide and Rule thing looms large..
I went to the supermarket, picked up a few things.
The people there were nice, I don't know that many know
of the stuff we talk about, but
Fear and Confusion (resulting in turning on one another)
is part of the Big Plan.
The bad guys know, they are fratricidal,
can't get along with themselves or anyone else.
(please remember this).
Meanwhile, I saw some hurt ones, and people doing what I was doing,
getting some food.
We were all nice to each other, crisis what crisis.
As long as we maintain a countenance,
and do not turn on one another..
well, this is part of a plan
we best not adhere to.
Hope Springs Eternal.
There is no really good place to put this..
please suffer me a moment..
If you are into playing music, please do so (and Sing!).
The teamwork, cadence, millisecond timing..
These teach you stuff that crosses over.
Anyway, please be aware..
Art and Music are communication…
Samizdat where needed,
and anyway.. this teaches you what sports
(where few are sporting) was supposed to teach.
And they make it look easy (but it is not).
To each their own, and it takes a while,
when you start the fingers are all in the wrong places,
and it seems like you will never get there.
But if you do it is great fun.
Thanks, a note in passing.
Certain sisterhood "front" claims that Crowley's death, SWIFT, Buryakov and this tragic news are related http://www.thedailysheeple.com/head-of-it-companies-monitoring-pentagon-fbi-nsa-and-army-presumed-dead-after-suspicious-fire_012015
"Of Suspicious Origin"..
I heard the place went up like an infield fly (ball).
Accelerants seems a good bet.
Re SWIFT.. an interbank wire transfer facility.
It is a railway, not a destination.
Mr. Putin is on record that turning off SWIFT
(for Russia) would not be well received.
All the 'goods' are at dock waiting for transfer,
if SWIFT becomes unavailable,
then another railroad will replace it.
Be Aware,
the stuff you have in your pocket (I hope).. money..
well, money is a ledger entry, always was (and will be)
What you have is tokens which represent stored value (we hope).
Most of the 'money' is not coined or printed,
it exists as ledger entries.
As things proceed to unwind,
remember, (and insist upon) this, I suggest.
To really rob a bank you need to own one.
Very suspicious fire . Definitely looks like a hit . He found out something that he was not supposed to know . Information is generally life-sustaining ( excluding mal-info ) . Criminalogical info can be inherently lethal especially when it belongs to a conspiratorial government .
Hey guys! Can someone please warn the Russians about this –
"Is The US Preparing To Blame The Next Market Crash On "Russian Spies" And HFT?"
The markets are about to crash and the Zionists/US/Satanists are going to point the finger at Russia. Don't let them get away with this!
I have to admit, it takes me back.
Like in that Gene Hackman movie (Company Business I think)
when he figures out the guy is a boomerang.
Maybe they can arrange a nice 'swap'.
That seems to be happening (too) lately.
What a bunch of Not Ready for Prime Time Players.
Meanwhile I have other concerns which transcend
the Great Russian Spy (scandal?) of early 2015.
And No, I have No Idea what they were up to.
There are a lot of Crocodile Tears usually.
That and pots what call kettles black.
Let there be no doubt I said the above in sympathy,
The HFT thing is definitely 'not funny'.
(High Frequency Trading, uses computers to churn markets).
Not only does it provide a way to game markets,
but it defeats the most basic function of a market,
that of setting a clearing price for the commodity.
Would they blame (fill in the blank) on the Russians,
or preferably Putin?
(notice how policy and such is personalized these days?).
I don't see why not, Russia and Mr. Putin have already
been blamed for a bunch of stuff
not of their doing from what I can tell.
Paul Craig Roberts recently mentioned that if Russia is 'junk'
what the hell are 'we' (at more than ten times the exposure)
(debt vs GDP)
Mr. Putin's major sin is that he won't play their nasty game.
For this he is demonized (and with him Russia)
at every turn.
Those of us who pay attention recognize 'opposites day'
when (daily) we see it.
The populace at large realizes all is not well.
The bad guys are trying to put them (the populace)
on the Russians.
I concur, this is uncalled for, fraudulent, bogus,
(need I go on) and of course should not happen.
I said "debt vs GDP" and it is burning in my craw.
I don't think I did that right.
The per-person 'debt' (much of it Odious)
is more than ten times for a US resident,
than for a Russian.
I did not mean to misinterpret his (PCR) observation.
I think this has been underway for a while,
some things are 'secret' for a reason.
Anyway, Quiet weapons for Silent Wars.
With any luck you won't 'see anything at all'.
At least as regards spectacular (or any) fireworks.
You are right, strike the root.
There is reason to believe we are not the only ones
who thought of this.
Hope springs eternal.
We are not stupid enough to march on them..
Who said they had a corner on sneaky.
Honest sneaky beats the other.
The Zen of Motorcycle Maintenance,
get them to do the work, done up in their own tresses.
Saves on translation errors and 'he said she said'.
Besides, they were going to do it anyway,
why not have an audience.
This is information warfare, open source intel.
What they are up to will not stand light.
what better but for them to expose themselves,
in front of God and everybody (and they are).
This has several advantages, you get the idea.
I said that very thing on RT back when the aggressions with Russia first began and a lot of people agreed. Throughout history, no one has ever gone directly to the heart of the matter and flattened the Rothschild Mansion. They attack the symptoms rather than the disease.
Gennady & Lidiya, it was too late in 1917 when central bankers planned and funded the First World War, the Bolshevik Revolution, and a few years later when they engineered the Ukrainian famine by confiscating the harvest and sending it eastward to China in preparation for the next revolution, allowing 30 million to starve, then propping up their concubine Mao who let 60 million Chinese starve. Russia did not hatch these monsters, they were spawned in Western capitals.
The current bloodletting was ignited by the same nest of degenerate vermin, most notably the obnoxious skank Victoria Nuland. Listen to her vile phone call wherein she and her gigolo Pyatt calmly plan to turn a sovereign nation upside down with depraved indifference to human life. She still crawls around unleashed. It is these instigators who must be fought, not a nation that was tormented by them for a century.
Rhonda Reichel, thanks for posting the ghastly evidence of wanton murder that our psychopathic "leaders" want airbrushed out of history. Calling them wolves in sheep's clothing insults wolves. Criminally insane degenerates in pinstripes would be closer to the mark. In August 1945 one of their ilk wrote an article with such astonishing disregard for life that it should be required reading everywhere.
Ukraine – original home of the Ashkenazi.
Now that Israel seems to be failing, the Zionists want their home back.
"" Public education is a massive disservice.""
Yes m'am . It is a massively self-interested federal governmental socialist system . The states gradually relinguished their sovereignty to the federal government in exchange for financial relief which ultimately is underwritten by the taxpayers — we the people .
"Cant just make this stuff up" – latest Thierry Meyssan: those psychos at CFR want to turn Obama's presidency into Bush jr. 3 rd term, neocons and 9/11 perps at helm again! This means WW3.
"The only personality to find favor in the eyes of the Council on Foreign Relations, Anthony Blinken, new No. 2 at the State Department, is a "liberal hawk".
Mr. Gelb proposes that President Obama surround himself by 4 Democrats and 4 Republicans corresponding to the profile he described: Thomas Pickering (former ambassador to the United Nations), Winston Lord (former assistant to Henry Kissinger), Frank Wisner (unofficially one of the bosses of the CIA and incidentally Nicolas Sarkozy's stepfather) and Michèle Flournoy (the President of the Center for a New American Security)., Robert Zoellick (former head of the World Bank), Richard Armitage (former assistant to Colin Powell), Robert Kimmitt (probable next boss of the World Bank), and Richard Burt (former negotiator on the reduction of nuclear weapons).
For Secretary of Defense, Mr. Gelb offers Rabbi Dov Zakheim to manage budget cuts , Admiral Mike Mullen (former head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) and General Jack Keane (former Chief of Staff of the Army).
Finally, Gelb proposes that the national security strategy be developed in consultation with the four "wise men": Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, Zbigniew Brzezinski, James Baker
The name Dov Zakheim sounds too familiar.
I loose track of who did what sometimes (for short periods),
Did he not have something to do with the Pentagon slight

(and leave soon thereafter).

LightSaber: The time has come for all this to end anyway. Way out of control when your own people become traitors to their country, cripple many of the common ordinary citizens, steal their jobs, hinder their freedoms and create catastrophe in their lives by continuing to lie to everyone to get what they want, all in the name of personal power, glory, and profit. The time has come. We've lost it all due to our own blind trust and laziness.
"" We've lost it all due to our own blind trust and laziness.""
That is only half true . We are also victims of the crimes of lying , cheating , stealing and murder by our talmudic jewish masters whom hold licenses from judaism to commit all four crimes with impunity against nonjews//gentiles//christians//goyim . Ignorance is seldom blissful .

You'd think Crazy Dov would know when to quit while he's ahead. If he had any brains he'd be under a palm tree on Tel Aviv beach. These weirdos are like really bad gamblers who can't stay away with the wins but put them all on the table again. How does that song go?
It is a place where they fought (fight) each other.
This went on for I think six months (so far).
It now is an airport in name only.
Nothing but wreckage and rubble.

Looks like the Greeks (bless their pointy little hearts)
pretty much told the bad guys to Stuff It.
Now the fun begins, do they avoid retrys and
maybe a nice 'coalition government'..
And in any case, they are the dog that caught the car,
now they need to figure out how to run a railroad.
It remains to be seen, I wish them well.
One Size does Not fit all,
even if the Social Engineers insist otherwise.
I wish them well.
I pray you are mistaken.
Mr. Putin will respond as needed,
but so far he is way to smart to play into their provocations.
There are many things can be done, not involving
blowing up the planet (figurative caricature).
I trust he will think of something.
I do not want war, including with Russia.
I think most of our countrymen would concur,
at least if they are not swallowing whole from MSM.
Enough Grief and Sadness Already!
This Is Not The Best We Can Do.
The world is not Black & White like the US always pushing it. Unfortunately US are calling for international law in Russia breaching other country's security and US actions in Nicaragua, Vietnam, Libya, Iraq, Iraq again and again, Syria go unmentioned as nothing to do with international law. International law is like mafia, there is no such thing as international law, only blades and bullets. For some it is a currency slot game, for other it is survivor, making it from today till tommorow. NATO is reaching the stage of breaking point, soon it will collapse or require much like the Nazi state its labour and concentration camps and thought police.
Re 'supersede all National Laws'.
Yes, that is what they say, but I don't believe them.
The Charter (in our case the Declaration of Independence,
the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution, taken as a whole),
Is the only difference between organized crime and a government.
It follows that the current custodians cannot (unilaterally or otherwise)
alter that Charter.
Nor are they authorized to operate outside it.
This includes by entering into Treaty's.
We have NO Representation at the UN level.. NONE!
They do not work for us.
Offered with respect.
Ahhhh, I can see the joyous Bush family jumping (except for the head sperm donor GHW,) for joy over another war on the table, More profit more death. All the maimed and crippled, sightless and altered abilities receiving such inferior medical care and rehab, all we need is more of the same to overwhelm our financial capabilities.
Maybe though Bush, Cheney, Wolfie, Rummy, Kerry, Oblunder himself, McCAin and his Syrian rebels and everyone's offsprings can take up arms and march off to war. Led by the courageous and infamous Bill Clinton (since he knows Russia so well, and he can still walk,) can manipulate another hundred thousand plus lemming army into this slaughter house while he cradles Monica up against his flashlight. Then again oblunder won't be accepted for he can't produce a valid birth certificate (sorry I forgot.)
In the group photo above the guy in the foreground looks Hispanic. If so he has no idea that our "leaders" have him pawned. How many of the Neocons' sons and daughters are in the military anywhere? And I don't mean cushy desk jobs, or fancy PR spots at the Pentagram. I mean out in the battlefield and at risk.
Uh…… you guys gonna do something about this?
The American interests served in setting up a civil war in a slavic nation 5000 miles from US borders is …? Novoisrael ?
So far, the Russian response to the discovery of American made weapons in Donetsk remains muted, which suggest things will remain as they are with the two pseudo Russian republics fighting without direct Russian support. Everybody knows, including the Russians, there have been American and NATO country mercs and covert Special Forces fighting for some time in eastern Ukraine. Still, Russia has taken a relatively laid back position. This may be because the pro-Russian forces are doing well enough without direct Russian support. But it fits in with Russia's strategy to stay out of the fighting to avoid a major war. So, I think the headline is a little misleading.
We are looking at the end product of a century's worth of controlled education and information in every sector. The baby boomers don't have as much power as you think — the whole voting system is a facade to distract us into thinking that we really have a choice as to office holders. Public education is a massive disservice.
I don't understand the Roman non sequitur examples of late. The Pax Romana was held together by Romans who worked around common laws, beliefs, loyalties, expectations, and so on. They were ordered and practical. Our system of administration is basically theirs. They built structures that still stand. Romans took citizenship very seriously, and understood the responsibilities and privileges that came with it. Rome worked in its own interest, hence the Empire. Nor would it take orders from a vassal, conquered, allied, or adjacent state, nor would any of them be so foolish to demand such a thing.
The Empire started crumbling when the thriving population became complacent, and government corrupt. Personal ambition replaced the solid laws that held a massively diverse Empire together. With old Roman identity diminishing, so did the barbarians increase their attacks.
There will be no new Roman Empire because that would require a multitude of conditions that no longer exist, some rightfully so. However we do share many of the same ominous signs and symptoms that rotted Rome from within and left it wide open to barbarians.
Military-clad English-speakers caught on camera in Mariupol shelling aftermath
Armed people in uniform speaking fluent English with no accent have been spotted in Mariupol in the aftermath of the rocket hit, fuelling allegations that foreign private military contractors are serving among Ukrainian troops.
"Whoever controls the economy rules the nation"
So if a Rothschild ruled America can set up a world empire with force, guess who rules the world.

Independent Clover Moore promised a city plan to promote the unique character of the villages that comprise Sydney - much as New York does - as her team faced a new assault from the ALP about the former business interests of her No. 2, John McInerney.
The ALP claims Mr McInerney, a planner, would face impossible conflicts of interest on the City of Sydney council because the firm which he founded, City Plan Services, often has development applications before the council.
Mr McInerney is likely to become deputy mayor to Ms Moore, who intends to continue as state MP for Bligh if she wins on Saturday.
It has also been revealed that North Sydney Council has complained to the Department of Planning about City Plan Services, which certified a building as complying with plans. However, the building did not comply.
An angry Mr McInerney said that since announcing his intention to run, he had done everything possible to remove any potential for conflict. He had resigned as managing director of the firm and placed his shares in a blind trust, where the trustee, whom he does not know, will sell his 14 per cent interest for him.
"I will have no part in the sale process. I don't know who's selling them and I won't know who's bought them," he said.
"I have done much more than is legally required, which is simply to declare an interest in anything that comes before council.
"What happens when a large DA comes from Meriton? Is [ALP candidate] Michael Lee or the Liberal going to declare that they accepted large donations from that company?"
The NSW Liberal Party yesterday called for the ALP to declare any hidden donations from head office for council election campaigns, claiming that this would provide a loophole whereby developers could make donations.
Ms Moore has unveiled her planning policy, which aims to nurture the 34 village "places" from Millers Point in the north to Rosebery in the south.
"The greatest cities in the world, such as New York, London and Paris are amalgams of discrete communities, such as Greenwich Village in New York, or the arrondissements of Paris," she said.
These inner-city villages have their own character and creative cultures. People identify with places, she said.
Under Ms Moore's policy, the community would be consulted on how to develop the unique character of each village, and those that have lost their identity would be salvaged.
Pedestrian and bike paths would be designed to link the villages, while their centres would be based around community owned buildings such as town halls.
She has also promised to establish an economic development unit to promote a return of small business.
It would also undertake long-term planning for the commercial needs of the city, but demands for more commercial floor space would need to be sympathetic to the historical characteristics of each village.
She has also promised a review of public open space to determine whether the inner-city has enough to deal with its growing population.

As soon as my sister gives birth, they need to get back to New Jersey (from Sydney) where her husband's family is staying (as soon as the babe can be allowed by the paediatrician) I'd like to ask what is the ideal age for a baby to travel considering the long hours and my sister not yet fully recovered from labor...

Fortescue Metals Group has entered a trading halt after having progressed discussions with its lenders about relaxing some of its debt covenants "significantly overnight". It expects to make an announcement about a restructuring of its bank facilities before the start of trading on Tuesday.
The company said it remained concerned about rumours and speculation in respect of its bank related facilities. Fortescue shares tumbled 14 per cent to $2.99 on Thursday after The Australian Financial Review revealed the miner had asked lenders to give it financial breathing room by waiving all its debt covenants for the next 12 months.
Critical negotiations with lenders are putting more pressure on
Australia's third-largest iron ore miner, which is 32 per cent owned by founder and chairman
The company last night confirmed it was speaking with its banks about waivers in the event covenants were put under pressure due to volatility in the iron ore price. "The company has a supportive banking group and this is a prudent measure that has been taken well in advance of the next reporting date and in response to market volatility," Fortescue said.
Iron ore price squeeze
The proposal was foreshadowed in a call with lenders last Friday, and put to them in writing early this week. Ratings agency Standard & Poor's on Wednesday said the miner would face "significant financial covenant pressure" in 2013 if the iron ore price stayed below $US110 a tonne for longer than the current calendar year. The spot iron ore price has fallen 27 per cent since the start of July to $US98.10 a tonne, placing extra pressure on miners with high debt levels such as Fortescue and Arrium.
Should the banks reject Fortescue's request to waive all loan covenants across all the facilities, Fortescue could find itself unable to draw down further debt on its existing banking lines. It is understood the company hopes to have the waivers in place by the end of the December quarter.
Fortescue's high-yield bonds due in 2015 fell 2 per cent on the news, pushing the yields up from 7.1 per cent to 7.8 per cent. Fortescue last month obtained $US1.5 billion of loan facilities from Merrill Lynch, due to be repaid in December 2013. The syndication date has been extended by three weeks amid weak demand for the debt.
Questions over spending delay
The miner last week said it would postpone $US1.6 billion of spending in an effort to conserve cash amid lower iron ore prices. Lenders expect to be briefed on the miner's latest plans within the next week.
Some brokers have questioned why Fortescue would postpone the introduction of lower cost production rather than raise new equity to complete its $US9 billion expansion. An equity raising would dilute Mr Forrest's stake if he did not participate in the issue.
Fortescue is now aiming to produce 115 million tonnes of iron ore a year from March, down from an earlier goal of 155 million tonnes by June.
"It is not certain that an equity raising can be avoided in [the 2014 financial year], even if Fortescue does not move beyond 115 million tonnes per annum," Mr Hines said.
In a presentation to a CLSA conference in Hong Kong yesterday, Fortescue chief executive Nev Power emphasised the company had taken a "decisive response to market conditions" by postponing part of its expansion plans.
He said the company retained its confidence in China in the long term despite lower growth rates because the absolute volume growth would remain strong. He cited the recent approval of 25 urban railway projects totalling $US133 billion of spending as an encouraging sign.
Eyes on Arrium
As the iron ore price falls, Fortescue is not the only Australian miner to suffer.
The steelmaker, miner and mining consumables company formerly known as OneSteel has been plagued by concerns over its gearing levels, with more than $2.1 billion in debt on its balance sheet.
Pengana Capital fund manager Tim Schroeders said talk of an equity raising was intensifying as iron ore prices were under pressure. "I think you'd probably have to look towards the balance sheet [to explain the share price collapse]," Mr Schroeders said. "It's obviously been the concern of one or two people in the market."
While Arrium has no material refinancing obligations until 2016, analysts have grown circumspect about the risk of it breaching its interest cover to earnings ratio if iron ore prices stay low.
Credit Suisse analyst Michael Slifirski said Arrium would only breach its covenant in calendar 2012 if iron ore prices averaged about $US86 a tonne for the remainder of the year.
However, he said the June 30 2013 rolling 12-month back-looking earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) to net interest covenant "is potentially under pressure if current spot iron ore is averaged from 12 months".
"Modelling this scenario suggests EBITDA interest cover could decline to around 2.9 times, below the indicated 3 to 3.5 times covenant," Mr Slifirski said.
While there was little new information in the presentation given to analysts yesterday, it failed to spell out a near-term catalyst for reviving the company's loss-making steel and distribution businesses.
- Jamie Freed – The Fortescue team, led by chief executive Nev Power, had gained a significant amount of market credibility over the last year, only to blow most of it in a single day in the eyes of many investors.
- Street Talk – Some bankers admit they gave up pitching to Forrest years ago. They expect nothing has changed and the iron ore miner will fully exhaust every other avenue over the coming three months before it seriously considers an emergency rights issue.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/7/2013 (1483 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- The summer of 2013 continues to be hot, hot, HOT.
While it's true the weather in and around Winnipeg has been something of a hit-or-miss affair, with temperatures ranging from cool to cooking and rainfall arriving by the bucket, sometimes accompanied by funnel clouds, the situation indoors - specifically, on the small screen that offers a few hours of entertainment at the end of those unsettled summer days - has been consistently and unseasonably intense.
This has not been a summer filled with pointless reality-TV junk, perfectly skippable reruns and pitiful burnoffs of long-since-cancelled series; instead, thanks to such formidable new arrivals as Ray Donovan, The Bridge, Top of the Lake and The Fall, as well as the long-awaited return of Breaking Bad's final eight-episode run (beginning Aug. 11), this truly is a summer to be watched and remembered.
Adding to the list of televised excellence this week is Broadchurch, an ITV import that has its North American premi®re on Sunday, Aug. 4 on Showcase (check listings for time). In addition to garnering rave reviews from the British press when it aired there earlier this year, the brooding murder-mystery series has earned the distinctly digital-age title of being the most-tweeted U.K. drama ever.
Set in a quiet seaside tourist town that is shocked by the murder of a young boy and an investigation that turns up more secrets than anyone might have imagined the little village could conceal, Broadchurch is a harrowing cop drama that ranks among the best the Brits have sent our way in recent years.
David Tennant (Doctor Who) and Olivia Colman (The Iron Lady) play the two detectives assigned to solve the most difficult crime the close-knit community has ever experienced, and Jodie Whitaker (One Day) and Andrew Buchan (Bones) tackle the difficult roles of the murdered boy's grieving parents.
It is, obviously, a wrenchingly emotional tale; one of the toughest acting assignments belongs to Colman as local Det.-Sgt. Ellie Miller, who has just been passed over for a big promotion and whose young son was the victim's best friend.
"Getting to the emotional point you needed to get to wasn't a problem at all," Colman said when Broadchurch's cast and producers met with the press during BBC America's portion of the U.S. networks' summer press tour in Los Angeles. "Everyone has some children in their lives that they are related to or that (are) their friends' children that you love. And this is the worst possible thing you can imagine.
"So it's very easy to access how awful that is. Personally, I've always been a fairly emotional person anyway. With children, I have no armour at all, so there were lots of scenes where (the script) said, 'Ellie doesn't cry,' and I was, kind of, 'Good luck with that, because I'm afraid I won't be able to stop.'"
The emotional counterpart to Miller is Det.-Insp. Alec Hardy (Tennant), a recent import from another jurisdiction who has been handed the job Ellie coveted. Aloof, detached and with no connections in the community, Hardy is determined to do things by the book and is enraged to find it's difficult to keep details of an investigation secret in a small town where everybody knows everybody else's business.
Ellie's an experienced cop who knows how the job's supposed to be done, but she's also best friends with the grieving parents and has a nephew who's an ambitious young reporter with the local newspaper. Things get said, and even when they don't, someone's bound to get the message bound up in a non-statement statement.
"This could happen even if you live in a big city (because) you have your own little community," Colman explained. "It's your neighbours in the apartment block. It's, you know, the person in the shop. So if it's that close where you come from, I don't think it matters if it's set in an urban environment or a beautiful beach setting.
"But I think it was because (the setting) was so beautiful, it just seemed so wrong that something so bleak could happen in a holiday destination place. But it did, and the juxtaposition was what (screenwriter Chris Chibnall) used to really highlight it."
The eight-part series created an immediate buzz among TV critics gathered here for the press tour, with many saying they sat down to sample a couple of episodes before writing about it and ended up watching the entire eight-episode collection of preview DVDs.
During what has already been the best summer, TV-wise, in recent memory, Broadchurch provides yet another reason for frantically clearing space on the overloaded PVR.

EJSIC's Rocket to the Sun 2010
It's that time of year again.
The leaves have all turned. There's a crisp coolness in the air. The premature sounds of a random Christmas song or two are already permeating our collective brains. College basketball has started.
And, it's time to launch some more jack socks into oblivion.
As with last year's inaugural EJSIC rocket, the guidelines remain the same. If society at large is done with them. If they have long outlived their actual or perceived welcome. If they are just generally douche bags who are beyond salvation. Simply surprise them with the gift that keeps on giving…a ticket on a theoretical rocket that is launched directly into the sun.
1. Kate Gosselin – After years of waiting standby only to get bumped at the last minute, Ms. Gosselin's ticket is finally punched. Not only will her presence on the rocket benefit most of humanity, but I'm pretty sure her 500 kids will be better off without her constant fame-mugging as well. (ht: Jose Kortez)
2. Brett Favre – My sincerest apologies for not having the old gray tool on an earlier trip. Perhaps we all could have been spared the omnipresent media coverage and..um…unwanted personal details had I acted sooner. Forgive me.
3. Justin Bieber - The kid is a punk. He has terrible hair. He sings like a howler monkey. And, in 6 years, he'll be dead from an overdose anyway. So, I'm doing him a favor, really.
4. Christine O'Donnell – That was way too close, Delaware. Let's make sure this never happens again, okay?
5. The Wonder Pets – I recently had a child. If my son is to grow up in a loving and nurturing environment and become a man that contributes great things to this world…the Wonder Pets simply cannot exist. Technically, I know there are 3 of them, but they are small and won't take up much room. And when they start singing 2 seconds into the flight, the other passengers will more than likely pick them off one at a time anyway.
6. Kobe Bryant - Alright. You've proved your point. Now retire…or vaporize. Either one.
7. Charlie Sheen – Honestly, I have nothing against Charlie. I like Charlie. His seat on this rocket has nothing to do with his personal antics. But, it DOES have everything to do with the fact that his extinction is apparently the only thing that will get Two and a Half Men off the air once and for all.
That's my rocket for 2010. As always, dear readers, let me know who would go on yours.

During a year in which he has won the US Masters, it would be overzealous to say Adam Scott will be saving the best for last this week. But Scott can still appreciate the enormity of what he is chasing: the triple crown of Australian majors.
Scott this year became the first Australian to win a green jacket, but is also well aware that only one other has won the unique golfing hat-trick: Robert Allenby, in 2005.
''It's something that only one person has ever done in Australia,'' Scott said. ''It's not something that happens very often. I'd have to think it's a pretty great milestone for an Australian golfer to win all three events down here … I'll be giving it my best and hopefully you can ask me Sunday night and I can tell you where I reckon it ranks.
''It's the Australian Open; it's the last week of the year for me, I want to finish big.''
Scott, who played at Royal Sydney on Wednesday for the first time this week ahead of Thursday's opening round, appears to still be in good touch. In Wednesday's pro-am, he had a run of birdies on the back nine. ''To see a few going in in the pro-am is never a bad thing, I think,'' he said. ''It kind of sets the tone for the week.''
Scott said his form over this year, which included wins in the US Masters and lately the Australian PGA and Australian Masters, had been ''the culmination of a lot of work in the right direction in the last few years … the tough part is to keep that going, to always keep that balance. That's what I'll be looking to do as I move into next year as well''.
With one green jacket in his keeping, Scott has his eyes on more majors, of course. But he remains wary of making grand statements.
''I'd love to win 20 but at the moment I'm looking for No.2, and that's going to be in April in the Masters,'' Scott said.
After his No.1 major, No.1 in the world might be his next major accomplishment in 2014.
''I'm as close as I've ever been,'' Scott said. ''I'm not going to stop dreaming of it just because Tiger Woods holds the No.1 spot.
''But we all know how difficult it is to surpass him. Only a few people have done it in the last 15 years and I've got my work cut out for me the whole of next year in trying to do that.''
Rory McIlroy, up against Scott in the Australian Open this week, knows what it takes to be the highest-ranked golfer in the world. And he has seen enough of Scott of late to know he will threaten Woods's supremacy.
''He's got as good a chance as anyone,'' McIlroy said.
McIlroy approaches the Australian Open chasing something rather different. Forget about a triple crown; McIlroy is still seeking his first victory this year. Beating the in-form Scott would make victory this week extra special, but the Northern Irishman knows that beating an entire field remains his biggest challenge towards the end of a turbulent year.
''It's been too long to go without a win,'' McIlroy said. ''I'd love to be in the mix on Sunday and at least give myself a chance to take it away from him [Scott]. He's playing very well. It's going to be tough. There's going to be a lot of guys that feel like they have a chance to win this week and I know that I'm going to have to play some of my best golf to give myself a chance.
''It's a very prestigious tournament; a lot of great names [are] on that trophy. It would be great to put my name alongside them.''

A schoolboy underwent emergency surgery after being attacked by a group of thugs in the street.
Nathan Inness-Harrero, 15, was attacked from behind and kneed and headbutted in the face as he walked in Albany Court, Epping, near his home in Lincoln Fields, on Wednesday at around 7pm.
The pupil from Davenant Foundation School said there were around ten boys he believed were from another local school involved, with two leading the attack and one filming the assault on his mobile phone.
Emergency services took 30 minutes to arrive at the scene and Nathan was taken to hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery to prevent damage to his eyesight.
Nathan's mother, Paula Harrero, 50, a midwife at Princes Alexandra Hospital, was alerted by a neighbour and has described finding her son unable to stand with cold, sweaty skin and very slow pulse rate.
She said: "I was in shock I couldn't understand why anyone would do it. The injuries were horrendous.
"I was nervous waiting for the ambulance I thought he might get worse and I felt helpless.
"It was unreal that he was attacked so close to our house and round the corner from where I was waiting for him."
"I just want to warn the parents of Epping to tell them what's going on and to protect other children."
Ms Harrero said Nathan knows his attackers but has not told his mother for fear of reprisals.
Police are appealing for information and are yet to interview the victim.

DESCENDANTS of First World War soldiers are being invited to an Antiques Roadshow-style event at the British Library near Boston Spa next month.
The World War One Family History Roadshow in the Library's newly-refurbished Reading Room will give people the chance to share their grandfather or great-grandfather's war diaries, letters, photographs and other memorabilia with the world, via the Internet.
The Library has joined forces with Europeana – Europe's digital museum, library and archive -to gather and tell family stories from 1914-1918.
Historians and experts from the York Museums Trust, Lancaster University and local history societies will be on hand to talk about the significance of finds, while Library staff will professionally digitise the objects for uploading to the dedicated Europeana 1914-1918 website, www.europeana1914-1918.eu.
A Europeana spokeswoman said it had been holding such roadshows in more than 20 countries across Europe in the lead up to the Centenary of the start of the war.
Executive director Jill Cousins said: "Through our roadshows, the grandchildren, other family members and friends who inherited these memorabilia have the opportunity to share pieces of history that might otherwise just be collecting dust in their attics. And through digitisation, they can preserve them for future generations as records of a defining time in European history."
At a press conference about the roadshow, held at York's Castle Museum yesterday, Jeanette Payne told how she had only found the First World War diary of her great-grandfather John Henry Fisher three weeks ago, after a conversation about family with her mother.
John, who was sent to the barracks in Fulford Road, York, after being called up, recounted the monotony and dangers of his day-to-day life in the diary.
Carol Smith, from Selby, told how both of her grandfathers, John Richard Ford and Thomas Wright Burnet, fought in and survived the trenches of the Western Front .Memorabilia from both men are on display at the Castle Museum.

New Iran Sanctions Have Tensions Rising In The Straight Of Hormuz
Michael Kelley
July 3, 2012
We've covered how the U.S., Israel and Iran are preparing for the possibility that U.S.-Israel cyber warfare spills over to acts of war in the physical world.
Now that the most severe of the European sanctions have come into effect, tensions are mounting around Strait of Hormuz – a vital transit point for a fifth of the world's oil supply.
The consequent specter of war has never been more real.
Here's latest rundown:
• On July 1 EU sanctions designed to further cripple and even break Iran's economy – its national currency lost close to half its value against the U.S. dollar in the last year – went into effect. The sanctions ban imports of Iranian oil by EU states, a market that bought 18 percent of Iran's exports last year, and bar EU companies from transporting Iranian crude or insuring shipments.

Spider-Man Can Dance Awkwardly to Any Song You Play
Spider-Man might be able to do anything a spider can, but can he bust a move?
Get ready to get served by the amazing Spider-Man! Someone emailed this awesome GIF of Spider-man oddly dancing, and claims he can dance to the beat of any song you play. Of course, we had to play around with him to see if it's true.
I decided to play two random songs, to see if Spidey could really dance to any song. My song choices were "Sex & Violence" and "Barbie Girl."
Try out this amazing Spider-man for yourself! Tweet us the video of your dancing Spider-man!

A few days ago a couple of young women called at our home. Their demeanor was JW-like, brief case, Bible in hand, their manners, etc. and I immediately concluded they were JW.
But...then the one talking suddenly asked me: "Did you know that there are two gods--one a Father and the other a Mother?"
I was taken aback and didn't answer. But she continued--opened her Bible and turned to Genesis 1:26. That is the one that says, "Let us make man in our image according to our likeness..."
She then proceeded to say that god the father was talking to his "wife" the mother and they then created man and woman according to their likeness. Before I could say anything she quickly said that the mother is "not Mary." She continued to defend her case even though I had not said anything at that point--even read another scripture from the New Testament that said something about the heavenly Israel being "our mother." All the time I was trying to figure out what religion they represented because I had never heard of such a belief before.
I noticed that they were both Oriental. Also their Bible was like the JW interlinear version--but Chinese on one side and English on the other. So I asked, "Is your religion an Oriental one?" She quickly replied, "No--we are Christian." She mumbled some kind of talk that must have been "insider talk" that I really could not follow. But never really answered to my satisfaction as to what religion it really was.
I had company at the time and just did not want to get into a long discussion even though it was strange and interesting. I think I only said that some Christians believe that God was talking to Jesus before he came to earth. (At least that was the JW understanding--don't know what others believe.)
So, my reason for posting this is to ask if anyone here knows who these people might have been? Could it be the "new light" of some kind of the JWs--her Bible was all underlined in various colors and reminded me of what my Bible and most other JW Bibles looked like. Or can they be a new kind of "apostate" with their own interpretation?

Today's post by this month's featured author, Claire Cook | ClaireCookWrite
My husband and I sold our 1890 Victorian in a little beach town on the coast between Boston and Cape Cod and decided to move to suburban Atlanta to be closer to family. So this is my temporary writing space, tucked into a corner of the master bedroom in the house we're now renovating, the only room not stacked to the ceiling with boxes. When I stare out the window, I can almost imagine the chaos behind me doesn't exist. I even wrote some of my next novel without doors, with a house full of carpenters and electricians and plumbers coming in and out and telling me about the book they're going to write one day! I can't believe I finished it, but I did. My tenth novel is called Time Flies, and will be published by Touchstone in June 2013.

New Kensington police: No help from shooting victim
New Kensington police continued to work Thursday to identify a shooting victim who is refusing to cooperate and find the gunman who wounded him in public housing complex Wednesday night.Police Chief Tom Klawinski said the man, believed to 18 years old, is in a hospital under another name in order to deter anyone from trying to shoot him again.
"He is expected to be OK," he said.
The man was a visitor at a Willow Court apartment owned by the Westmoreland County Housing Authority. The complex is located behind city hall and the police station.
Klawinski said the shot was fired from the court yard through an open window into an apartment. The victim was hit in his abdomen at about 10:15 p.m.
Klawinski said police were interviewing witnesses Thursday and getting phone calls from people with information, he said.
"We are still trying to confirm his identity," Klawinski said. "We have a name and we're checking that."
The city's investigation was aided by a Westmoreland County forensic detective who searched for evidence at the scene until early Thursday.
Klawinski wouldn't say if police have a suspect.
"We're talking with people," he said.
