How do they do it?

PUTNEY, Vermont (PNN) - January 31, 2020 - In just a couple of weeks, 50 boys with learning disabilities will take to a stage in Vermont, one after the other, to recite the Gettysburg Address from memory. It’s a daring experiment undertaken each February at the Greenwood School and its population of boys who’ve struggled in public schools. Diagnosed with ADD, dyslexia, and executive function impairments, Greenwood’s boys stand before an auditorium full of people (and once even a Ken Burns documentary crew) to recite powerful words many adults would struggle to retain.

LONDON, England (PNN) - January 30, 2020 - When the Fascist United Kingdom exits the European Union late on Friday, Brexit will be hailed as a victory for British democracy. Three times Britons voted to leave the EU and “take back control”: in June 2016, when the Leave campaign won at the EU referendum; in the general election the following June, when the vast majority of voters cast ballots for political Parties promising to fulfill the referendum will of the people (even though the Conservative Party itself only achieved a minority government); and finally, in December 2019 - the second general election in as many years - after months and months of Remainer parliamentary obstruction, Britons overwhelming elected Boris Johnson on the pledge to “get Brexit done”. Third time’s the charm.

Thomas Paine on government, liberty and power

January 29, 2020 - January 29 is the birthday of Thomas Paine (1737-1809), the fiery rhetorician of America’s Revolution whose importance was such that John Adams said, “[W]ithout the pen of Paine, the sword of Washington would have been wielded in vain.”

Common Sense, first published in January 1776, argued strongly for Independence from England and was the most widely read pamphlet of the American Revolution, selling almost 500,000 copies to a population of 2.5 million. The first essay of The Crisis (with the famous opening line, “These are the times that try men's souls”), written by Paine at the front lines with Washington’s army in 1776, was read aloud in every army camp. Its essays (from 1776-1783) were read by a larger fraction of the population than now watch the Super Bowl. Paine did not make a penny from either, as the proceeds went to the revolutionary cause.

January 21, 2020 - The weak-minded cattle called the general population accept government as their god, observe all of its bogus laws, support its worldwide murders, use it to steal from their neighbors, worship its hired killers even while in so-called religious houses on Sunday, vote in fraudulent elections meant to give power to those who rule over them, and call these elected criminals representatives while ignoring their nefarious deeds; never taking responsibility for the evil they commit in the name of that same population. This is today’s Amerika, and this is the result of a national religion that worships the State.

RICHMOND, Virginia (PNN) - January 21, 2020 - On the holiday set aside in 2020 to honor Martin Luther King, Junior, the premier advocate of nonviolent Gandhian civil disobedience, thousands of gun owners gathered in Richmond to petition peacefully for their rights.

King had preached that there was a higher law that justified breaking existing laws that mandated racial segregation.

When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat in the front of the bus in Montgomery, Alabama, when Freedom Riders integrated bus terminals, when black students sat at segregated lunch counters in North Carolina, they challenged State law in the name of what they said was a Higher Law.
