Mother Jones

Mother Jones

Celebrating Mother Jones is appropriate on Labor Day:

Teddy Roosevelt once called her “the most dangerous woman in America” when she was 87 years old. Mary Harris Jones, or “Mother Jones,” was born to a tenant farmer in Cork, Ireland, in 1837.

Her family fled the potato famine when she was just 10, resettling in Toronto. She trained to be a teacher and took a job in Memphis, where on the eve of the Civil War she married a union foundry worker and started a family.

But in 1867, a yellow fever epidemic swept through the city, taking the lives of her husband and all four children.

A widow at 30, she moved to Chicago and built a successful dressmaking business — only to lose everything in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

Jones then threw herself into the city’s bustling labor movement, where she worked in obscurity for the next 20 years.

By the turn of the century, she emerged as a charismatic speaker and one of the country’s leading labor organizers, co-founding the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).

She traveled the country to wherever there was labor struggle, sometimes evading company security by wading the riverbed into town, earning her the nickname “The Miner’s Angel.”

She used storytelling, the Bible, humor, and even coarse language to reach a crowd. She said: “I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I said if he had stolen a railroad, he would be a United States Senator.”

Jones also had little patience for hesitation, volunteering to lead a strike “if there were no men present.”

A passionate critic of child labor, she organized a children’s march from Philadelphia to the home of Theodore Roosevelt in Oyster Bay, New York with banners reading, “We want to go to school and not the mines!”

At the age of 88, she published a first-person account of her time in the labor movement called The Autobiography of Mother Jones (1925).

She died at the age of 93 and is buried at a miners’ cemetery in Mt. Olive, Illinois.

She said: “Whatever the fight, don’t be ladylike.”

Happy Jury Rights Day!

William Penn On Juries

It’s the anniversary of the brave jurors who, on September 5, 1670, refused to convict William Penn of unlawful assembly simply for preaching in the street.
“Cler. How say you? is William Penn Guilty, &c. or Not Guilty.
Foreman. Not Guilty.
Cler. How say you? is William Mead Guilty, &c. or Not Guilty?
Foreman. Not Guilty.
Cler. Then hearken to your Verdict; you say that William Penn is Not Guilty in manner and form as he stands indicted; you say that William Mead is Not Guilty in manner and form as he stands indicted, and so you say all?
Jury. Yes, we do so.
Observ. The Bench being unsatisfied with the Verdict, commanded that every person should distinctly answer to their names, and give in their Verdict, which they unanimously did in saying, Not Guilty, to the great satisfaction of the assembly.
Rec. I am sorry, gentlemen, you have followed your own judgments and opinions, rather than the good and wholesome advice which was given you; God keep my life out of your hands, but for this the Court fines you 40 marks a man; and imprisonment till paid. At which Penn stept up towards the bench, and said:
Penn. I demand my liberty, being freed by the Jury.
Mayor. No, you are in for your fines.
Penn. Fines, for what?
Mayor. For contempt of the Court.
Penn. I ask, if it be according to the fundamental laws of England, that any Englishman should be fined or amerced, but by the judgment of his peers or jury; since it expressly contradicts the 14th and 29th chapters of the Great Charter of England, which say, ‘No freeman ought to be amerced but by the oath of good and lawful men of the vicinage.
Rec. Take him away, take him away, take him out of the Court.
Penn. I can never urge the fundamental laws of England, but you cry, Take him away, take him away. But it is no wonder, since the Spanish Inquisition hath so great a place in the Recorder’s heart. God Almighty, who is just, will judge you all for these things.
Observ. They hauled the prisoners into the Bale-dock, and from thence sent them to Newgate, for non-payment of their fines; and so were their Jury. But the Jury were afterwards discharged upon an Habeas Corpus, returnable in the Common-Pleas, where their commitment was adjudged illegal.”
To help you celebrate, the Fully Informed Jury Association has put together a selection of quotes from the trial of WIlliam Penn and William Mead that Jury Rights Day commemorates:

The COVID Inquiry 2.0

Jason Gillespie

A friend whose opinion I respect writes:

This is worth watching, sharing and bookmarking. In my opinion, of everything I have heard, Julian Gillespie & Co have the greatest likelihood of actually bringing to justice the majority of those responsible for many aspects of the Covid debacle.

Please watch and share.

I’ve just watched the whole segment of Julian Gillespie speaking at the Covid Inquiry 2.0.

I have been involved in various ways in more legal issues than the average person and I like to think that my understanding of the system is better than most. Of all the talk that is occurring on the subject of Covid at the moment, in my opinion, what Julian Gillespie & Co are doing has the greatest likelihood of actually:

1) BRINGING TO COURT RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS AND HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE and

2) EFFECTING LASTING CHANGE.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that EVERYONE watch this segment and bookmark it for later reference.

I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you pass this link on to EVERYONE and ANYONE who has received one of these “injectables”, regardless of whether they have had an adverse reaction or not.

The Collapse Of Civilization

The Collapse Of Civilization

If you want to understand the current collapsing of America look no further than the dedicated attempt by psychiatry to deliberately do that for the last 75 years.

Behind every bad condition will be found a psychiatrist.

In 1947 the then president of the World Federation of Mental Health, Brock Chisholm, said, “The reinterpretation and eventual eradication of the concept of right and wrong are the belated objectives of nearly all Psychotherapy.”

Chisholm further stated that if they were to be successful they needed to infiltrate the professions to introduce their ideas (more correctly called “insanities”) there.

This year is the 75th anniversary of his speech. Looking around at the average intelligence level, morality, ethics and consequent problems with crime, drugs, sexual perversions etc. I’d say the psychiatrists were remarkably successful!

If we as parents and teachers do not instill in our children respect for one another, tolerance for differences, that there is right and wrong, the difference between right and wrong, that actions have consequences and that regardless of what has happened in the past one has the ultimate responsibility for the actions one takes in the present, then we are, by our neglect, cocreating a society where psychiatry’s evil intentions are widely manifest, as is happening at present.

And, perhaps more importantly, the remedy for the chaos they create is personally and collectively, purely and simply the bringing of more order into our environment.

I tender my attempt to explain that here: https://www.bringorder.info/English.html
