Re: Remember Remember

We celebrate the failed attempt at blowing up parliament by blowing up a ton of tiny bombs :?

Only in England, by the by, fireworks are dangerous, I bought some and strapped them together with some sparklers, it gets airborne alright but. . .there is a bit of debris :(

Re: Remember Remember

Had a cracking firework display and barbecue in my garden last night - a few of the neighbours brought their little kids - which was cool, and they all loved the bright lights - until the firework went BANG! at the end, then half of them started to scream and cry in unison! My kids just laughed.

~Alterans~ wrote:Not sure if this was answered for you Tok`ra but the book Harriet wrote was written against slavery, yes. But is it not odd that it was that book that made a big bang. She wrote that book attempting to start a bigger conflict. It was the jesuits top priority to start a civil war in the U.S.

EDIT: And yes, Harriet and Booth where working together. Both where doing the jesuits dirty work.

EDIT: And to support this theory, Stowe was indeed a catholic. She was devout in her religion as she claims she received the idea for her book while at church. It is an interesting link between her and the jesuits, basically the henchmen of the roman catholic church.


Your grasp of history is absolutely awful. Stowe did not write the book to start a war. She, like many religious people in the years leading to the Civil War, saw slavery as the most evil and vile thing in American society as was determined to end the practice. But those people were not responsibile for the outbreak of the Civil War becuase slavery was not responsible for the Civil War. The idea that what happened at Fort Sumter was over slavery is a fallacy that has been thrown around to the point that people don't question it. But the war broke out over state's rights, of which slavery was one issue. Slavery did not even become a major fact in the conflict until years into the war.

As for you assertions about Booth...Show just ONE piece of evidence to support the idea that he was Catholic. And in the meantime, consider this. All the available evidence strongly indicates that he was definitely not Catholic, and furthermore that he was a member of a well-known anti-Catholic political organization.

John Wilkes Booth was baptized and confirmed as an Episcopalian protestant. His baptism took place at St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Catonsville, Maryland, on January 23, 1853. This is documented by the writings of Booth's sister. See, Clarke, Asia Booth, John Wilkes Booth: A Sister's Memoir, (University Press of Mississippi, Jackson, 1996 edition), pp. 44-45.

Moreover, in the 1850s, John Wilkes Booth was an active member of the American Party, an organization better known as the "Know-Nothing Party". This was a strongly anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant political party. See, Rhodeehamel, John and Taper, Louise, eds., Right or Wrong, God Judge Me: The Writings of John Wilkes Booth, (University of Illinois Press, Urbana 1997), pp. 38-39; see also, Clarke, Id., p. 75.

In fact, the only specific reference to any religion in all of Booth's actual writings is an August 1854 letter in which he mentions participating a Methodist religious meeting that month. See, id., Rhodeehamel and Taper, p. 7.

The idea that he was working with a prominent abolitionist for the Vatican, two groups of people he did not agree with, is absurd. Also, as was posted, he did not end up in Stowe's house. He was found hiding in a barn where he died a very messy death. He has no connection whatsoever with Stowe.

In addition, it is a well documented fact that Stowe was not Catholic and certainly had no connection with the Jesuits. She was first a Congregationalists and later moved to the Episcopalian church after she became married.
