Summary</div>
<div class="section-text">
Carlos Castaneda was an author and anthropologist born in Cajamarca, Peru in 1925. Though he claimed to have been born in Brazil in 1935, immigration papers show he was born in Peru in 1925. There are a great many opinions of Carlos Castaneda and his writings. He burst onto the scene with a popular book about entheogens and the magical world-view as reality in the middle of a time of academic and cultural upheaval.<br />
<br />
His stories of a wizened old sorcerer, a man who came from a long line of peyote and mushroom-using wise men with extraordinary powers, captured the imaginations of students, hippies, and scholars. His original book is presented as a "UCLA PhD Anthropology Thesis", but it was a highly radical, postmodern piece of anthropological 'field work'. Castaneda's work was a watershed for critique and thought by cultural anthropologists and brought many new, excited minds into the field.<br />
<br />
When the story continued, however, his public supporters changed their opinions and Castaneda went from being the 'most popular anthropologist ever' to 'lying opportunist'. His books have been critiqued and criticized. Many college students study anthropology because they were touched by their stories. In his later years, he went into more bizarre things, including a type of martial art / movement style (tensegrity). There is a cult of personality that is associated with Castaneda; he is sometimes called the godfather of the New Age movement.<br />
<br />
But, throughout the debate and whether or not the work is totally a flight of fancy, the books remain an interesting type of meta-fiction: novel, anthropology, philosophy, spirituality.<br />
<br />
As Novel: The story is given from the first person perspective of the slow-witted disbeliever in a magical, entheogen-using initiation into the Sorcerer's world view. The style and plot is acceptable, but those are not the strong suits. The reader is carried forward by wondering whether any of this story could be real and by the character development. There are a few points in the series where he captures feelings well: nostalgia, confusion, self-doubt, questioning the nature of reality.<br />
<br />
As Anthropology: Anthropology has gone through many changes in the last 100 years, from a colonial English 'erudite visitor from a civilized culture to a prehistoric one', to a more involved visitor like Margaret Mead, to questioning whether it is possible to know a culture that is not your own. Carlos Castaneda died in 1998 at the age of 72.<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: -1;">Debut writer/director Ralph Torjan's <i>Carlos Castaneda: Enigma of a Sorcerer</i> offers up an intriguing road trip to the heart of Castaneda's neo-shamanist beliefs and teachings. Castaneda contributed thirty plus years of writings and workshops in an effort to espouse his beliefs that largely centered on the idea of expanding one's perception of reality and consciousness. The trip Torjan takes us on manages to enlighten and engage sans psychedelics.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: -1;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Torjan utilizes a wildly dynamic visual style in exploring the enigma of Castaneda. Colorful whorls rotate rapidly in concert with a powerful score that echoes rhythmic drumbeats. Juxtaposed with this kaleidoscope are powerful images of mountains, the rapid rising of the sun, and the ascent and flight of an eagle. These images seem to encapsulate Castanedas’s belief that we are all individually part of a much larger consciousness and capable of seeing and experiencing a much deeper and vivid reality. Torjan beautifully conveys this through his choice of imagery, editing, and scoring of the film. Torjan attempts and succeeds on some level in taking the viewer on a cinematic vision quest.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The engaging visual style of </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">Carlos Castaneda: Enigma of a Sorcerer</i><span style="font-weight: bold;"> is complimented by numerous testimonials from individuals who attended his workshops and private sessions. Castaneda’s workshops were conducted during the latter years of his life when he emerged from a largely reclusive existence to enlighten some of his most ardent followers. The accounts of many of these followers is intriguing if nothing else. The various individuals who attempt to provide insights about the mysterious Castaneda include ardent followers, lovers, and scholars. Even if one doesn’t necessarily buy into Castaneda’s notions of expanded consciousness and reality, it’s hard to dismiss his ideas outright based on the individuals who describe their experience. The majority of these individuals appear relatively stable, intelligent, and grounded. Despite varying accounts of Castaneda’s character and personality, virtually everyone acknowledges being profoundly affected by their contact with Castaneda. </span></span><br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: -1;">Castaneda is alternately characterized as enlightened, sexually voracious, and a plagiarist by those who contribute to the film. Unfortunately absent are any images or conversations with Castaneda himself, besides a single still photograph. Castaneda’s predominantly reclusive lifestyle contributed to this. We are largely left to ponder who this enigma was via accounts from the individuals interviewed for the film and Castaneda’s work itself. </span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: -1;">Clearly, Castaneda was a complex, cerebral, and perhaps enlightened individual. Castaneda’s message of freeing oneself from the limiting shackles of ego and discovering an expanded reality that is more vibrant and alive than our daily existence is seductive. The timing of his message was impeccable, arriving in the late 1960s when old institutions and belief systems were proving to be obsolete and disillusionment was de rigeur. Astutely, Torjan recognizes that Castaneda’s message would not necessarily have the same resonance today that it had when it first seduced readers thirty years ago.</span></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: -1;">Torjan’s film effectively manages to seduce the audience. By the end of <i>Carlos Castaneda: Enigma of a Sorcerer</i>, we are still left with unanswered questions and an image of a man that is far from focused. Fortunately, Castaneda’s list of works is extensive for those who elect to dig deeper into the mythology and philosophy that he defined. However, the mystery of Castaneda himself will likely remain unsolved</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: -1;">. </span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;">Frequently Asked Questions from the Ellis's Place Discussion Forum</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">1. Do you believe that there was a real Don Juan?</span><br />
</b> <br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
No. I believe that Carlos made up this wonderful literary figure as a composite of many teachers. These included Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo, of Sufi tradition, his hero, philosopher Alan Watts, Swami Muktananda and Swami Vivekananda, and many more. I assume he made many trips to Latin America, where he met shamans and took a wide variety of "power plants." I believe he added his own genius to these experiences, and gave us the magnificent, but fictional, don Juan.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
I was contacted by a man in the New York publishing industry who requests anonymity -- he wants to keep his job -- and he wrote quite firmly that Carlos's work called for "very heavy editing." Perhaps this would explain the widely differing literary quality of Carlos' books -- different editors. Using a single mentor worked as a moving, forceful literary device, as most readers agree -- whether or not they agree with my conclusions.</div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">2. What of the sorcery "tough love" technique? Did it work?</span></b> <br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
It did not work for me -- I found it cruel and hurtful. But we are all different -- for others, verbal abuse may have been an effective way of blunting the ego. Carlos often said, "The time to be worried is when I'm nice to you," and "I only give it to the strong ones who can take it." One male practitioner asked Carlos why he was never insulted. Carlos replied: "Because you couldn't take it." By way of compliment, he told a friend of mine (whom he knew would report to me) that I was the dark horse, who could take insult. Once he told me, "It's the only way I know. If I knew a better one, I'd use it." Sadly, it left me with nightmares and much self-loathing, which I am working to lose.</div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">3. Can you address the topic of "sex magic"?</span></b> <br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
That is a book in itself! Carlos always told me that his sperm would reach my brain and alter it, make it non-human -- and that I should will this during sex. Then my brain would become a superior organ.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
He also insisted I remain celibate "if we don't leave together," and said anyone I had sex with was a Flyer. Alternately, he said that anyone I had sex with was magically linked to his intent, and would live on in Infinity. I joked that this was "a Mileage Plus Program," but he didn't find this amusing.</div>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">4. What caused your final break with Cleargreen?</span></b> <br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
There are many ways to answer this, so I'll pick one of the most poignant anecdotes, for me, anyway. It's illustrative.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
In the last weeks before Carlos death, when I was Carol and I were together daily, I reached an internal crisis.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
I asked her to stop giving me "sorceric advice," and seeking mothering from me, something she freely admitted. She claimed she had never given me advice, however, and promised not to do it again, if she had been. We lasted a single lunch before falling back into our old patterns.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
I told her I didn't believe in "a hierarchy of emptiness," where she reigned supreme, above me. I said that if she wanted to give friendship a try, I would like that. She said she'd be happy to do that.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
However, she insisted "a hierarchy of emptiness DOES exist -- maybe someday you'll catch up." It was the eternal dangling carrot.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
In a recent conversation with "Tony Lama" [Antonio Karam, head of Casa Tibet] in Mexico, he told me why he had turned down the questionable gift of being the next nagual in the lineage. He explained he would always love Carlos dearly, but he never saw the much vaunted magic that was forever being promised, and he was asked to tell lies. Do I ever respect that man!</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
Carol, I felt, was never going to relinquish her seat of power -- and she seemed lonely, and no wonder. It's lonely if you believe you're at he top.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
I found the carrot-dangling excruciating and crazy-making. Finally I had come into my own sense of power, no greater than anyone else's. I had to leave a hierarchical group -- it was junior high redux. My publisher said, "Could we have less Ridgemont High here? But that was daily life, to some degree. I could go on, but this incident carries the core reason for my departure.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
A P.S. -- Some days previous to the talk, the nagual woman and I had a horrible moment in my pool, where we swam daily. She floated, relaxed, wiggled her toes, and bragged, "Now I have all the power! They have to come to me! Only I know what really happened!" It sent proverbial shivers down my spine. This was not a woman free of ego, in my opinion.</div>
<b> </b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">5. What do you think will become of Cleargreen?</span></b><br />
<b> </b> <br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
After Carlos died, Lorenzo [Bruce Wagner] told me he felt "the circus had packed up and gone away," and that he was "THROUGH WITH THE LIES AND THE SECRETS!" I gather he has recanted, since he periodically appears at workshops, or so I'm told.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
I have not attended a seminar in years, but have heard tales of "outer rung" students telling seminar attendees of their time as Carlos's disciples. Perhaps this is not true.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
In the last weeks of Carlos's life, I saw Carol Tiggs daily. When the others "left," and she chose to say behind, a worried Lorenzo told me, "She is no more fit to take on the job of leader than I am to redo the plumbing in your house " -- that is, she lacks the requisite skills. He hoped I would take care of her.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
When the Witches & co. disappeared, she told me repeatedly that they were "Dead, dead, dead!" and that "I don't like what left, and I don't like what stayed either."</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
Kylie, shortly before disappearing, told me she had warned Carlos that there might be suicides among the followers, if he didn't give tasks for the people in the group.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
He seemed surprised, she said, and replied that he didn't care in the least if Cleargreen continued or closed shop. Kylie persuaded him to give out these tasks, so his group would have a reason to go on.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
There have been suicides, and attempts -- a woman in Santa Fe jumped off a carton into a ravine "to join the nagual." Alas, her body was found intact. At least one group member I know of attempted a suicide for the same reason.</div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
Cleargreen has lightened it's message about separating from family members, but some family members are approaching them, and apparently not getting satisfactory answers about what happened to their siblings and children. In Carlos's day, we were explicitly told to "send them to hell." Maybe "Cleargreen-Lite" will survive.</div>
<b> </b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">To come: Did Carlos speak of his books, or the characters in them?</span></b><br />

<a class="meta-per" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/s/pete_seeger/index.html?inline=nyt-per" title="More articles about Pete Seeger.">Pete Seeger</a>,
the singer, folk-song collector and songwriter who spearheaded an
American folk revival and spent a long career championing folk music as
both a vital heritage and a catalyst for social change, died Monday. He
was 94 and lived in Beacon, N.Y.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="132" data-total-count="387" itemprop="articleBody">
His death was confirmed by his grandson, Kitama Cahill Jackson, who said he died of natural causes at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.<br /><br /><br />
Mr. Seeger’s career carried him from singing at labor rallies to the Top 10 to college auditoriums to folk festivals, and from a conviction for contempt of Congress (after defying the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s) to performing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at an inaugural concert for Barack Obama.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="143" data-total-count="861" itemprop="articleBody">
For Mr. Seeger, folk music and a sense of community were inseparable, and where he saw a community, he saw the possibility of political action.<br /><br /><br />
In his hearty tenor, Mr. Seeger, a beanpole of a man who most often played 12-string guitar or five-string banjo, sang topical songs and children’s songs, humorous tunes and earnest anthems, always encouraging listeners to join in. His agenda paralleled the concerns of the American left: He sang for the labor movement in the 1940s and 1950s, for civil rights marches and anti-Vietnam War rallies in the 1960s, and for environmental and antiwar causes in the 1970s and beyond. “We Shall Overcome,” which Mr. Seeger adapted from old spirituals, became a civil
rights anthem.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="543" data-total-count="1984" itemprop="articleBody">
Mr.
Seeger was a prime mover in the folk revival that transformed popular music in the 1950s. As a member of the Weavers, he sang hits including Lead Belly’s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj3s8qq3kU4" title="YouTube video of a performance.">“Goodnight, Irene”</a> — which reached No. 1 — and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl-yszPdRTk" title="YouTube video of a performance.">“If I Had a Hammer,”</a> which he wrote with the group’s Lee Hays. Another of Mr. Seeger’s songs, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXqTf8DU6a0" title="YouTube video of a performance.">“Where Have All the Flowers Gone?,”</a> became an antiwar standard. And in 1965, the Byrds had a No. 1 hit with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ga_M5Zdn4" title="YouTube video.">a folk-rock version of “Turn! Turn! Turn!,”</a> Mr. Seeger’s setting of a passage from the Book of Ecclesiastes.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="739" data-total-count="2723" itemprop="articleBody">
Mr. Seeger was a mentor to younger folk and topical singers in the ‘50s and ‘60s, among them Bob Dylan, Don McLean and Bernice Johnson Reagon, who founded Sweet Honey in the Rock. Decades later, Bruce Springsteen drew the songs on his 2006 album, “We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions,” from Mr. Seeger’s repertoire of traditional music about a turbulent American experience, and in 2009 he performed Woody Guthrie’s “This Land
Is Your Land” with Mr. Seeger <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5KnYADCSms" title="YouTube video.">at the Obama inaugural</a>.
At a Madison Square Garden concert celebrating Mr. Seeger’s 90th birthday, Mr. Springsteen introduced him as “a living archive of America’s music and conscience, a testament of the power of song and culture to nudge history along.”<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="289" data-total-count="3012" itemprop="articleBody">
Although he recorded more than 100 albums, Mr. Seeger distrusted commercialism and was never comfortable with the idea of stardom. He invariably tried to use his celebrity to bring attention and contributions to the causes
that moved him, or to the traditional songs he wanted to preserve.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="131" data-total-count="3143" itemprop="articleBody">
Mr. Seeger saw himself as part of a continuing folk tradition, constantly recycling and revising music that had been honed by time.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="455" data-total-count="3598" itemprop="articleBody">
During the McCarthy era Mr. Seeger’s political affiliations, including membership in the Communist Party in the 1940s, led to his being blacklisted and later indicted for contempt of Congress. The pressure broke up the Weavers, and Mr. Seeger disappeared from television until the late 1960s. But he never stopped recording, performing and listening to songs from ordinary people. Through the decades, his songs have become part of America’s folklore.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="148" data-total-count="3746" itemprop="articleBody">
“My job,” he said in 2009, “is to show folks there’s a lot of good music in this world, and if used right it may help to save the planet.”<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="159" data-total-count="3905" itemprop="articleBody">
Peter Seeger was born on May 3, 1919, to Charles Seeger, a musicologist, and Constance de Clyver Edson Seeger, a concert violinist. His parents later divorced.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="417" data-total-count="4322" itemprop="articleBody">
He began playing the ukulele while attending Avon Old Farms, a private boarding school in Connecticut. His father and his stepmother, the composer Ruth Crawford Seeger, were collecting and transcribing rural American folk music, as were folklorists like John and Alan Lomax. He heard the five-string banjo, which would become his main instrument, when his father took him to a square-dance festival in North Carolina.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="354" data-total-count="4676" itemprop="articleBody">
Young Pete became enthralled by rural traditions. “I liked the strident vocal
tone of the singers, the vigorous dancing,” he is quoted in “How Can I
Keep From Singing,” a biography by David Dunaway. “The words of the
songs had all the meat of life in them. Their humor had a bite, it was
not trivial. Their tragedy was real, not sentimental.”<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="425" data-total-count="5101" itemprop="articleBody">
Planning
to be a journalist, Mr. Seeger attended Harvard, where he founded a
radical newspaper and joined the Young Communist League. After two
years, he dropped out and came to New York City, where Mr. Lomax
introduced him to the blues singer Huddie Ledbetter, known as Lead
Belly. Mr. Lomax also helped Mr. Seeger find a job cataloging and
transcribing music at the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library
of Congress.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="378" data-total-count="5479" itemprop="articleBody">
Mr.
Seeger met Mr. Guthrie, a songwriter who shared his love of vernacular
music and agitprop ambitions, in 1940, when they performed at a benefit
concert for migrant California workers. Traveling across the United
States with Mr. Guthrie, Mr. Seeger picked up some of his style and
repertory. He also hitchhiked and hopped freight trains by himself,
trading and learning songs.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="296" data-total-count="5775" itemprop="articleBody">
When
he returned to New York later in 1940, Mr. Seeger made his first
albums. He, Millard Lampell and Mr. Hays founded the Almanac Singers,
who performed union songs and, until Germany invaded the Soviet Union,
antiwar songs, following the Communist Party line. Mr. Guthrie soon
joined the group.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="300" data-total-count="6075" itemprop="articleBody">
During <a class="meta-classifier" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/w/world_war_ii_/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier" title="More articles about Wold War II.">World War II</a>
the Almanac Singers’s repertory turned to patriotic, antifascist songs,
bringing them a broad audience, including a prime-time national radio
spot. But the group’s earlier antiwar songs, the target of an F.B.I.
investigation, came to light, and the group’s career plummeted.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="171" data-total-count="6246" itemprop="articleBody">
Before
the group completely dissolved, however, Mr. Seeger was drafted in 1942
and assigned to a unit of performers. He married Toshi-Aline Ohta while
on furlough in 1943.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="380" data-total-count="6626" itemprop="articleBody">
When
he returned from the war he founded People’s Songs Inc., which
published political songs and presented concerts for several years
before going bankrupt. He also started his nightclub career, performing
at the Village Vanguard in Greenwich Village. Mr. Seeger and Paul
Robeson toured with the campaign of Henry Wallace, the Progressive Party
presidential candidate, in 1948.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="822" data-total-count="7448" itemprop="articleBody">
Mr.
Seeger invested $1,700 in 17 acres of land overlooking the Hudson River
in Beacon and began building a log cabin there in the late 1940s. In
1949, Mr. Seeger, Mr. Hays, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman started
working together as the Weavers. They were signed to Decca Records by
Gordon Jenkins, the company’s music director and an arranger for Frank
Sinatra. With Mr. Jenkins’s elaborate orchestral arrangements, the group
recorded a repertoire that stretched from “If I Had a Hammer” to a
South African song, “Wimoweh” (the title was Mr. Seeger’s mishearing of
“Mbube,” the name of a South African hit by Solomon Linda), to an
Israeli soldiers’ song, “Tzena, Tzena, Tzena,” to a cleaned-up version
of Lead Belly’s “Goodnight, Irene.” Onstage, they also sang more pointed
topical songs.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="280" data-total-count="7728" itemprop="articleBody">
In
1950 and 1951 the Weavers were national stars, with hit singles and
engagements at major nightclubs. Their hits included “Kisses Sweeter
Than Wine” and Mr. Guthrie’s “So Long (It’s Been Good to Know Yuh),” and
they sold an estimated four million singles and albums.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="347" data-total-count="8075" itemprop="articleBody">
But
“Red Channels,” an influential pamphlet listing performers with
suspected Communist ties, appeared in June 1950 and listed Mr. Seeger,
although by then he had quit the Communist Party. He would later
criticize himself for having not left the party sooner, though he
continued to describe himself as a “communist with a small ‘c.’ ”<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="455" data-total-count="8530" itemprop="articleBody">
Despite
the Weavers’ commercial success, by the summer of 1951 the “Red
Channels” citation and leaks from F.B.I. files had led to the
cancellation of television appearances. In 1951, the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee investigated the Weavers for sedition. And in
February 1952, a former member of People’s Songs testified before the
House Un-American Activities Committee that three of the four Weavers
were members of the Communist Party.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="233" data-total-count="8763" itemprop="articleBody">
As
engagements dried up the Weavers disbanded, though they reunited
periodically in the mid-1950s. After the group recorded an advertisement
for Lucky Strike cigarettes, Mr. Seeger left, citing his objection to
promoting tobacco use.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="417" data-total-count="9180" itemprop="articleBody">
Shut
out of national exposure, Mr. Seeger returned primarily to solo
concerts, touring college coffeehouses, churches, schools and summer
camps, building an audience for folk music among young people. He
started to write a long-running column for the folk-song magazine Sing
Out! And he recorded prolifically for the independent Folkways label,
singing everything from children’s songs to Spanish Civil War anthems.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="509" data-total-count="9689" itemprop="articleBody">
In
1955 he was subpoenaed by the House Un-American Activities Committee,
where he testified, “I feel that in my whole life I have never done
anything of any conspiratorial nature.” He also stated: “I am not going
to answer any questions as to my association, my philosophical or
religious beliefs or my political beliefs, or how I voted in any
election, or any of these private affairs. I think these are very
improper questions for any American to be asked, especially under such
compulsion as this.”<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="109" data-total-count="9798" itemprop="articleBody">
Mr. Seeger offered to sing the songs mentioned by the congressmen who questioned him. The committee declined.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="471" data-total-count="10269" itemprop="articleBody">
Mr.
Seeger was indicted in 1957 on 10 counts of contempt of Congress. He
was convicted in 1961 and sentenced to a year in prison, but the next
year an appeals court dismissed the indictment as faulty. After the
indictment, Mr. Seeger’s concerts were often picketed by the John Birch
Society and other rightist groups. “All those protests did was sell
tickets and get me free publicity,” he later said. “The more they
protested, the bigger the audiences became.”<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="333" data-total-count="10602" itemprop="articleBody">
By
then, the folk revival was prospering. In 1959, Mr. Seeger was among
the founders of the Newport Folk Festival. The Kingston Trio’s version
of Mr. Seeger’s “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” reached the Top 40 in
1962, soon followed by Peter, Paul and Mary’s version of “If I Had a
Hammer,” which rose to the Top 10.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="427" data-total-count="11029" itemprop="articleBody">
Mr.
Seeger was signed to a major label, Columbia Records, in 1961, but he
remained unwelcome on network television. “Hootenanny,” an early-1960s
show on ABC that capitalized on the folk revival, refused to book Mr.
Seeger, causing other performers (including Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and
Peter, Paul and Mary) to boycott it. “Hootenanny” eventually offered to
present Mr. Seeger if he would sign a loyalty oath. He refused.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="177" data-total-count="11206" itemprop="articleBody">
He
toured the world, performing and collecting folk songs, in 1963, and
returned to serenade civil rights advocates, who had made a rallying
song of his “We Shall Overcome.”</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="462" data-total-count="11668" itemprop="articleBody">
Like
many of Mr. Seeger’s songs, “We Shall Overcome” had convoluted
traditional roots. It was based on old gospel songs, primarily “I’ll
Overcome,” a hymn that striking tobacco workers had sung on a picket
line in South Carolina. A slower version, “We Will Overcome,” was
collected from one of the workers, Lucille Simmons, by Zilphia Horton,
the musical director of the Highlander Folk School in Monteagle, Tenn.,
which trained union organizers.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="489" data-total-count="12157" itemprop="articleBody">
Ms.
Horton taught it to Mr. Seeger, and her version of “We Will Overcome”
was published in the People’s Songs newsletter. Mr. Seeger changed “We
will” to “We shall” and added verses (“We’ll walk hand in hand”). He
taught it to the singers Frank Hamilton, who would join the Weavers in
1962, and Guy Carawan, who became musical director at Highlander in the
‘50s. Mr. Carawan taught the song to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee at its founding convention.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="438" data-total-count="12595" itemprop="articleBody">
The
song was copyrighted by Mr. Seeger, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Carawan and Ms.
Horton. “At that time we didn’t know Lucille Simmons’s name,” Mr. Seeger
wrote in his 1993 autobiography, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone.” All
of the song’s royalties go to the “We Shall Overcome” Fund,
administered by what is now the Highlander Research and Education
Center, which provides grants to African-Americans organizing in the
South.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="513" data-total-count="13108" itemprop="articleBody">
Along
with many elders of the protest-song movement, Mr. Seeger felt betrayed
when Bob Dylan appeared at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival with a loud
electric blues band. Reports emerged that Mr. Seeger had tried to cut
the power cable with an ax, but witnesses including the producer George
Wein and the festival’s production manager, Joe Boyd (later a leading
folk-rock record producer), said he did not go that far. (An ax was
available, however. A group of prisoners had used it while singing a
logging song.)<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="483" data-total-count="13591" itemprop="articleBody">
As
the United States grew divided over the Vietnam War, Mr. Seeger wrote
“Waist Deep in the Big Muddy,” an antiwar song with the refrain “The big
fool says to push on.” He performed the song during a taping of “The
Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” in September 1967, his return to network
television, but it was cut before the show was broadcast. After the
Smothers Brothers publicized the censorship, Mr. Seeger returned to
perform the song for broadcast in February 1968.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="369" data-total-count="13960" itemprop="articleBody">
During
the late 1960s Mr. Seeger started an improbable project: a sailing ship
that would crusade for cleaner water on the Hudson River. Between other
benefit concerts he raised money to build the Clearwater, a 106-foot
sloop that was launched in June 1969 with a crew of musicians. The ship
became a symbol and a rallying point for antipollution efforts and
education.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="349" data-total-count="14309" itemprop="articleBody">
In
May 2009, after decades of litigation and environmental activism led by
Mr. Seeger’s nonprofit environmental organization, Hudson River Sloop
Clearwater, General Electric began dredging sediment containing PCBs it
had dumped into the Hudson. Mr. Seeger and his wife also helped organize
a yearly summer folk festival named after the Clearwater.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="648" data-total-count="14957" itemprop="articleBody">
In
the ‘80s and ‘90s Mr. Seeger toured regularly with Arlo Guthrie,
Woody’s son, and continued to lead singalongs and perform benefit
concerts. Recognition and awards arrived. <br />
<br /><br />
He was elected to the
Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1972, and in 1993 he was given a lifetime
achievement <a class="meta-classifier" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/g/grammy_awards/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier" title="More articles about the Grammy Awards.">Grammy Award</a>.
In 1994, President Bill Clinton handed him the National Medal of Arts,
America’s highest arts honor, given by the National Endowment for the
Arts. In 1999, he traveled to Cuba to receive the Order of Félix Varela,
Cuba’s highest cultural award, for his “humanistic and artistic work in
defense of the environment and against racism.”<br /><br /></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="491" data-total-count="15448" itemprop="articleBody">
In
1996, Mr. Seeger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an
early influence. Arlo Guthrie, who paid tribute at the ceremony,
mentioned that the Weavers’ hit “Goodnight, Irene” reached No. 1, only
to add, “I can’t think of a single event in Pete’s life that is probably
less important to him.” Mr. Seeger made no acceptance speech, but he
did lead a singalong on “Goodnight, Irene,” flanked by Stevie Wonder,
David Byrne and members of the Jefferson Airplane.<br /><br /></div>

Mr.
Seeger won Grammy Awards for best traditional folk album in 1997, for
the album “Pete,” and in 2009, for the album “At 89.” He also won a
Grammy in the children’s music category in 2011 for “Tomorrow’s
Children.”<br /><br /></div>

Mr.
Seeger kept performing into the 21st century, despite a flagging voice;
audiences happily sang along more loudly. He celebrated his 90th
birthday, on May 3, 2009, at a Madison Square Garden concert — a benefit
for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater — with Mr. Springsteen, Dave
Matthews, John Mellencamp, Joan Baez, Ani DiFranco, Roger McGuinn of the
Byrds, Emmylou Harris and dozens of other musicians paying tribute. In
August he was back in Newport for the 50th anniversary of the Newport
Folk Festival.<br /><br /></div>

Mr.
Seeger’s wife, Toshi, died in 2013, days before the couple’s 70th
anniversary. Survivors include his son, Daniel; his daughters, Mika and
Tinya; a half-sister, Peggy; and six grandchildren, including the
musician Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, who performed with him at the Obama
inaugural. His half-brother Mike Seeger, a folklorist and performer who
founded the New Lost City Ramblers, died in 2009.<br /><br /></div>

Through
the years, Mr. Seeger remained determinedly optimistic. “The key to the
future of the world,” he said in 1994, “is finding the optimistic
stories and letting them be known.”</div>

The following biographical obituary of Marie-Louise von Franz, <br />
written by Chuck Schwartz, originally appeared in <u>The Independent</u>, <br />
based in the U.K., on Monday, 23 February 1998</span></span></i></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">

<br />
Marie-Louise von Franz was renowned on several counts. She was a
first-rate and compassionate analyst. She was the closest colleague of
C.G. Jung, with whom she worked for over 30 years, and contributed a
great deal to his major works, particularly his monumental studies on <a href="http://www.jungiananalystvt.com/AboutMarieLouisevonFranz.en.html#" id="_GPLITA_1" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown">psychology</a>
and alchemy. She was also the author of a number of books including a
whole collection on the psychology of fairy tales, and was a leading
authority in this field.<br />
<br />
What is exceptional about her books on fairy tales is their
readability. She possessed few theoretical formulations, and her direct
and colloquial style of English (not her mother tongue) makes her
writing easily accessible and as fascinating to read as the tales
themselves. Through it, people from all walks of life have been made
aware that these timeless tales are not the sole preserve of children
and are struck by how relevant they are to their daily lives.<br />
<br />
The first of these books, Problems of the Feminine in Fairytales (1972),
was published in 1972; it was followed by An Introduction to the
Interpretation of Fairytales (1973), Shadow and Evil in Fairytales
(1974) and several others. They are still best sellers in the
psychology world and seem set to remain so.<br />
<br />
There are many other books by her on a variety of subjects. Among the
most distinguished are Number and Time (1980), on the connection between
psychology and modern physics; a detailed scholarly work, in
collaboration with Emma Jung (Jung's wife) on the symbolism of the Grail
legend; Aurora Consurgens, a translation and exposition of an early
alchemical text ascribed to St Thomas Aquinas; and Jung, His Myth in Our
Time (1972), a biography, elucidating Jung's essential work.<br />
<br />
Von Franz also wrote a landmark book called The Problem of the 'Puer
Aeternus', on the "eternal youth", an increasingly common visitor to the
consulting room, who lives his life as if his time has not yet come; a
strictly provisional life which results in a refusal to commit to the
moment, be it a job, a partner, or anything to do with the here and
now. This is often accompanied by a fascination with flying or mountain
climbing, the symbolism being to get as high as possible and as far
away from the mundanities of ordinary life. She also published several
other books on alchemy, dreams, classical mythology and the psychology
of projection.<br />
<br />
Marie-Louise von Franz was born in Munich of Austrian parents, but spent
most of her life in Switzerland. Even in primary school she had a
reputation for a formidable intellect. She was, for example, unwilling
to accept the tenets of the <a href="http://www.jungiananalystvt.com/AboutMarieLouisevonFranz.en.html#" id="_GPLITA_0" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown">religious education</a>
taught at her school. She so exasperated the priest who was teaching
her class that he insisted upon giving her private lessons. The
upshot, according to a repentant von Franz, was that he completely lost
his faith and left the priesthood.<br />
<br />
She went on to attend the <a href="http://www.jungiananalystvt.com/AboutMarieLouisevonFranz.en.html#" id="_GPLITA_2" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown">University</a>
of Zurich and reached a stage where she had to choose between a
doctorate in classical languages or studying medicine. She had by now
started analysis with Jung and told him about a dream that indicated to
him that she should choose classical languages. It was a brilliant
choice, particularly for Jung, who from then on got all the Greek and
Latin texts he needed for his work translated for the price of free
analytic sessions.<br />
<br />
When von Franz was 41, Jung permitted her to take on her first client.
The client was a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Von Franz
was natually eager to make a success of her first case, but the harder
she tried to prop the woman up the worse she became. In despair she
turned to Jung who advised her to let the client have her nervous
breakdown. Von Franz backed off, and stopped straining to help, and the
woman soon made a full recovery.<br />
<br />
She said that this was the most important lesson she ever had on
therapeutic technique, showing her the limitations of willpower and the
Ego, and the role of the Unconscious as the centre of the personality.<br />
<br />
She likened this to Galileo's discovery that the Earth revolved around
the sun, not vice versa. Like the Earth the Ego is an important
satellite revolving around a much larger and more powerful centre.
Galileo's discovery got him excommunicated by the ruling establishment,
and Jung has suffered a similiar fate at the hands of the scientific
establishment.<br />
<br />
For Jung, the structure of the psyche's centre was made up of what he
called "archetypes", the fundamental building blocks or anatomy of
psychic life. Like every other part of the human anatomy the
"archetypes" were common to all people; this commonality he called the
Collective Unconscious.<br />
<br />
Some years ago von Franz predicted that, like Galileo's discovery,
future generations of researchers would discover these self-same psychic
structures without any reference or acknowledgement to Jung. This she
felt would be only right and proper. For the fact that they made this
discovery independently would prove that Jung's work was not at all
hypothetical but was based on the objective facts of psychic life.<br />
<br />
In the last few years a whole new breed of evolutionary psychologists
have indeed rediscovered these self-same structures, and rechristened
them in such terms as "mental modules", often without any reference to
Jung's work.<br />
<br />
Working on this archetypal level von Franz soon realised that, for her
at least, the only effective and decent way to work with a client was to
work on the material of her own life, both inner and outer - in other
words to set her own house in order.<br />
<br />
Her model for therapy, therefore, which she imparted to all her pupils,
was not at all modern or even post-modern. It was as simple as it was
disconcerting: "Work very hard on your own psychic life, and hope for a
synchronistic happening in the client's. In this way everything is
kept open and alive and there are no set rules."<br />
<br />
That is except perhaps for one rule. Von Franz counselled that it would
be wrong to become a Jungian. If you do that, you miss the whole
point of his psychology, which was to become the one unique individual
you are meant to be.<br />
<br />
Everyone who knew Marie-Louise von Franz, or her work, can see to what remarkable degree she achieved her individuality.<br />

Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812), was born in
Frankfurt-on-the-Main in Germany, he was the son of Moses Amschel Bauer,
who worked as a financier and a goldsmith.<br /><br />
The Rothschild name was originated from the Red Shield that was
suspended over the entryway of their shop. The Red shield was an emblem
of radical Jews within Eastern Europe.<br /><br />
Mayer Amschel Rothschild, worked at the Hanover Bank as a clerk a few
years after his father’s death. The Hanover Bank was owned and
controlled by the Oppenheimers.<br /><br />
He achieved the stature of a junior partner in a bank founded by his
father in 1750, he left the Hanover Bank to take possession of the
business his father had founded. He was in the business of purchasing
and selling <a href="http://topinfopost.com/archives/321#" id="_GPLITA_1" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown">rare coins</a>, he was later very successful in obtaining many other coin dealers by purchasing their business.<br /><br />
In the year of 1769, Mayer Amschel Rothschild had become an agent for
the court of Prince William IX of Hesse-Kassel. Prince William was the
grandson of George II, he was also a cousin to George III, who was a
nephew to the King of Denmark, and also a brother in law to the King of
Sweden.<br /><br />
In a very short time Mayer Amschel Rothschild had become the
intermediary for the largest Frankfurt bankers with names like the
Bethmann Brothers, and Rueppell & Harnier.<br /><br />
Rothschild diversified his business to include antiques, wineries,
and became an importer of manufactured goods from England, it was at
this time that the Rothschild family began to accumulate an enormous
fortune.<br />++++<br />

Prince William hands his wealth over to the Rothschild family!</b></h2>
<div id="txtd_10904958">
<b>Prince William acquired his father’s wealth after his death in 1785,
at the time this equated to the greatest accumulation of wealth in all
of Europe.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A quantity of this wealth came from Great Britain. During the
Revolutionary war in America Great Britain payed for around 17000 troops
to stop the revolution. This money never found its way to the troops.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Rothschilds covertly made <a href="http://topinfopost.com/archives/321#" id="_GPLITA_2" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown">loans</a> to the government of Denmark in 1804, as a representative of Prince William.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Prince William was forced to flee to Denmark in 1806, Napoleon’s
troops were pressing their way through Germany. Prince William left his
wealth in the care of Mayer Rothschild.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It is reported in history that Rothschild buried Williams records
secretly, these records kept track of the complete record of William’s
wealth. It included a list of his debtors and the interest required of
the debtors to repay. This totaled around 600,000 pounds or $3 million
dollars. This was done to stop Napoleon from commandeering it.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Buderus von Carlhausen (Carl Buderus), was the official
representative from the Treasury that was in charge of William’s
financial interests. He was given the <a href="http://topinfopost.com/archives/321#" id="_GPLITA_0" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown">power of attorney</a>,

<b>Napoleon declared that any <a href="http://topinfopost.com/archives/321#" id="_GPLITA_3" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown">debts</a>
that were being paid to Prince William, were to be forwarded to the
French Treasury, there was even a 25% commission offered on all debts
that Napoleon would collect. The Rothschilds refused to comply.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Emerging conditions was soon to allow the Rothschilds to devise a
plan that would assure them the complete control of European finances,
with ambitions to control the world.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It started with gaining benefits from the aftermath of the Battle of
Waterloo, the combat was fought at La-Belle-Alliance, which is seven
miles to the south of Waterloo, Waterloo is on the outskirts of
Brussels, Belgium.</b><br />
<b>It appeared early on in the battle that Napoleopn’s forces seemed to
be winning, and the first clendestine report that reached London
correspended that this was indeed fact.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The result of the battle was reversed when reinforcements from
Prussia led by Gebhard Blucher, arrived to secure the victory for
Wellington.</b><br />

<b>
Rothschild takes control of the British economy!</b></h2>
<div id="txtd_10905336">
<b>It was on a Sunday, the date was June 18,1815 Rothworth who was a
messenger of Nathan Rothschild who was the controller of the London
division of the family, was present on the battlefield of Waterloo.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Once Rothworth verified that Napoleon’s forces were defeated,
travelled by horse to Ostende. He then paid 2,000 Francs to have a
sailor transport him to England across the volatile seas.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Once Nathan Rothschild obtained the delivery of the news on the 20th
of June, he educated the government who did not have faith in his
information.</b></div>
</div>
<div id="mod_11001374">
<div id="txtd_11001374">
<b><br /></b>
<b>So, with everyone believing Wellington to be defeated, Rothschild
immediately began to sell all of his stock on the English Stock Market.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Everyone else followed his lead, and also began selling, causing stocks to plummet to practically nothing.</b><br />
<b>At the last minute, his agents secretly began buying up the stocks at rock-bottom prices.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>On June 21, at 11 PM, Wellington’s envoy, Major Henry Percy showed up
at the War Office with his report that Napoleon had been crushed in a
bitter eight hour battle, losing a third of his men.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>This gave the Rothschild family complete control of the British
economy, and forced England to set up a new Bank of England, which

<b>This was not the only approach used by the Rothschild family to benefit from the Battle of Waterloo.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Mayer Amschel Rothschild had some of Prince William’s money sent to
his son Nathan in London, where Nathan had the money invested in eight
hundred thousand pounds of gold from the East India Company. He knew
that the gold would be necessary to fund Wellington’s peninsula
campaign.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>He was able to make profit four times from this:</b><br />
<b>First he made a profit when he sold Wellington’s paper (which was purchased at half its value).</b><br />
<b>Second he made a profit from selling the gold to Wellington.</b><br />
<b>He made his third profit by buying the gold back from Wellington.</b><br />
<b>The fourth profit was made when he dispatched the gold to Portugal.</b><br />
<b>This was the creation of the enormous Rothschild fortune.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Once Napoleon had been defeated, Prince William came back to continue
his rule. Buderus was given the title of Baron, and the Rothschild
family had become the wealthiest bankers in all of Europe.</b><br />

Rothschild family takes control of France!</b></h2>
<b>France, trying to get its nation reestablished in 1817 obtained loans
from a French banking entity in Ouvrard, the country also accepted
loans from the Baring Brothers in London.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Rothschild family realized the opportunity to gain control over
the French economy. In October of 1818, the Rothschilds representatives
began the purchase of enormous amounts of French government bonds. This
caused the value of the French bonds to increase in value quickly.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It was on November the fifth that these bonds were disposed of on the
open market. This generated a financial disaster as the value of the
bonds immediately diminished. With this accomplished the Rothschilds had
procured control of France.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Mayer Rothschild had instituted Banks in the countries of England,
France, and Germany! His sons were given the title of Barons of the
Austrian Empire, they became established to resume and spread out.</b><br />

The Rothschild Empire</b></h2>
<b>Karl Mayer Rothschild (1788-1868) controlled the bank in Naples, Italy, the bank closed in 1861.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>James Mayer Rothschild (1792-1868) was in charge of the bank in
Paris, France the name was Messieurs de Rothschild Freres until 1967
when the name was changed to La Banque Rothschild.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>This started the initial establishment of the House of Rothschild,
which had control of over three hundred million dollars of wealth.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>This began the investment by the Rothschilds across Europe in
railroads, they also provided financing for both coal and ironworks. The
acquisition of the Suez Canal was financed through the Rothschilds by
their delving into oil exploration in Russia and the Sahara desert.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The family provided financing for the Russian Czars. They gave aid to
Cecil Rhodes and his diamond monopoly. There was also assistance given
to France to form their African empire.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Rothschilds also gave financing to the Hapsburg Monarchs, even
the Vatican was saved from bankruptcy through Rothschild money.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>In the United States using their American and European agents, the
family also provided funding for Rockefeller Standard Oil, Carnegie
Steel, and Harriman’s Railroad.</b><br />
<h2>
<b>
How the Empire continues!</b></h2>
<b>It has been said that beginning in 1820 the age of the Rothschild
empire began, the conclusion was that there was “only one power in
Europe, and that is Rothschild.”</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Rothschild treasure was assessed to be over two billion dollars by 1913.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>When Mayer Rothschild perished on September 19, 1812, he made it very
clear exactly what detailed directions were to be preserved by his
descendants:</b><br />
<ul><b>
<li>All critical positions were to be filled by family members, he also
gave instructions that only male members of the family were to be
immersed in the business part of the family. The elder son of the oldest
son was to be appointed as the leader of the family, the exception
being that the rest of the family agreed otherwise. This was the
situation in 1812, when Nathan was selected as the head of the family.</li>
<li>The family was expected to intermarry with their own first and
second cousins. This guaranteed that the wealth could be retained within
the family. This also preserved the facade of a unified economic
kingdom. As an example Mayer’s son James (Jacob) Mayer was married to
the daughter of another son, Salomon Mayer. Future generations found
this rule to be of minor importance as they changed the families goals
and entered marriages to others outside the family to merge the two
family fortunes.</li>

<b>
Rothschilds fund both sides of conflicts and wars.</b></h2>
<b>Intelligence agencies from both American and British agencies have
documents which provide evidence that the House of Rothschild, as well
as other International financiers have provided funding to both sides of
every war that has been waged, beginning with the American revolution.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Financial investor Haym Salomon, who gave his support to the
patriots throughout the American Revolution, afterward provided loans to
James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe, was a representative
of the Rothschild family.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>As described earlier in this article, throughout the Napoleonic Wars,
one offshoot of the family provided financing to Napoleon, while yet
another branch of the family funded Great Britain, Germany among other
nations.</b><br />
<b><b><br />The most audacious plot preceded the American Civil War.</b></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Rothschild family functions from within a region in the heart of
London, England, this financial district is known by the names ‘The
City,’ or the ‘Square Mile.’</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Every one of the major banks in Britain retain their main offices in
“The City”. There are also 385 foreign bank offices located there, 70 of
these banks are American.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><i><b>It is in “The City” that you can find the Bank of
England, the Stock Exchange, Lloyd’s of London, the Baltic Exchange
(shipping contracts), Fleet Street (home of publishing and newspaper
interests), the London Commodity Exchange (to trade coffee, rubber,
sugar and wool), and the London Metal Exchange.</b></i></b><br />

<h2>
<b>
What is “The City”?</b></h2>
<b><b>It is in essence the financial center of the world!</b></b><br />
<b>Located on the Northern bank of the Thames river, it covers an area
of around 677 acres or just about one square mile. It is easily the most
wealthy square mile on the globe. It has been privileged with special
Rights and Freedoms which has given them the opportunity to accomplish
an evident level of Independence since 1911.</b><br />
<b>In the year 1215 King John gave the citizens of “The City” a Charter
which has allowed them to elect a mayor annually, (known as the Lord
Mayor). An institution that continues today.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There are many that believe that “The City” is in reality a Sovereign
State, similar to the Vatican, and Washington D.C. Since the Bank of
England was established in 1694,”The City” has risen to be the actual
power of Britain’s national affairs. The Prime Minister, the Cabinet,
and Parliament is only a facade to conceal the true power of Britain.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It is rumored that when the queen of England visits “The City” she
must submit to the authority of the Lord Mayor. The Lord Mayor has a
committee of twelve to fourteen men under him, this committee is known
as the Crown. “The Crown is a private owned corporation and is not
subject to either the Queen or Parliament.</b><br />

The Rothschild Family and the Illuminati!</b></h2>
<b>The rumors of the Rothschild family being part of a larger
conspiratorial organization known as the Illuminati, although it cannot
be proven many believe it to be a fact.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Illuminati did exist, but there is no proof of them still being
in existence. There does appear to be a global entity whose members are
the international financiers and bankers of the world. Due to the
Rothschild legacy, it appears that an organization such as this would
definitely contain the Rothschilds as members.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The elitists that are rumored to be part of this secret society would absolutely fall under the <i>modus</i> <i>operandi</i> of the Rothschild empire.</b><br />

By <a href="http://www.politico.com/reporters/KevinCirilli.html">KEVIN CIRILLI</a> | 4/4/13 11:11 AM EDT
Meet Kim Jong Un, the young and inexperienced North Korea dictator who is threatening to nuke America. Here are 10 things to know about him:<br />
1. A fan of musician Eric Clapton and actor Keanu Reeves, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/15/world/asia/15kim.html?_r=2&ref=kimjongun&" target="_blank">according</a> to The New York Times.+<br />
</b><br />
<div class="story-embed">
<div class="embed-mod latest-on-politico" id="sidebar_latest">
</div>
</div>
<b>
<div id="continue">
2. His mother reportedly called him the “<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/8986018/Who-is-the-real-Kim-Jong-un-Diplomats-fret-over-North-Koreas-portly-new-leader-and-party-officials-fear-a-purge.html" target="_blank">Morning Star King</a>” when he was growing up for reasons that remain unclear.</div>
3. His haircut reportedly set a hair trend in North Korea and South
Koreans have speculated that he underwent plastic surgery to look more
like his father, as <a href="http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2011/12/strangest-things-weve-learned-about-kim-jong-un/46408/" target="_blank">noted</a> by The Atlantic.<br />
4. Inner circle includes his trusted aunt Kim Kyong-Hui and her husband, Jang Sung-Taek, who are each 66, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/north-koreas-real-power-kim-jong-uns-aunt/story?id=18854045#.UV1beZPCaSo" target="_blank">according</a> to ABC News. The North Korean <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2013/04/kim-jong-un-facts-89632.html?hp=r5#" id="_GPLITA_2" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by Savings Addon">power</a> couple reportedly help advise him, even meeting with Chinese diplomats at times.<br />
5. He is the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11388628" target="_blank">son</a>
of the late-North Korean dictator of Kim Jong-il and the dead
dictator’s late-third wife Ko Yong-hui. His name is written as both Kim
Jong-un and Kim Jong Un, with news outlets using both iterations.<br />
6. The North Korean public did not even know Kim existed until a few
years before his father died, when he was introduced as a possible
successor.<br />
7. Little is known about his childhood, including his actual
birthdate. Though North Korea recognizes Jan. 8 as Kim’s official
birthday and a <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/8221155/North-Korea-declare-Kim-Jong-uns-birthday-a-public-holiday.html" target="_blank">national holiday</a>, it remains unclear whether he was born in <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11388628" target="_blank">1983 or 1984</a>.<br />
8. Pundits were largely unsure about whether Kim would be a worse
dictator than his father, but concern increased in December, when the
new dictator tested long-range missiles, such as when he did in <a href="http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/12/white-house-condemns-north-korea-missile-launch-151720.html" target="_blank">December</a>.<br />
9. He’s not just a fan of former NBA player Dennis Rodman, who he <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2013/03/dennis-rodman-kim-jong-un-plans-vacation-88747.html" target="_blank">met</a> with earlier this year, but he also <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/02/28/flashback-kim-jong-il-tried-to-get-michael-jordan-to-visit-north-korea/" target="_blank">likes</a>
Michael Jordan. Like his father, Kim is a huge basketball fan — so much
so that some reports have suggested it borders on obsession. His father
even invited Jordan to North Korea in 2001, a visit which the retired
superstar declined.<br />
10. Attended the International Berne School in Switzerland under a
pseudonym so as not to be recognized. He wasn’t the smartest kid,
failing some math and science <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2013/04/kim-jong-un-facts-89632.html?hp=r5#" id="_GPLITA_0" style="text-decoration: underline;" title="Click to Continue > by Savings Addon">classes</a>, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/9180501/Kim-Jong-uns-poor-marks-exposed.html" target="_blank">according</a> to The Daily Telegraph. His highest marks were in music and technical studies.<br />++++</b><br /><img alt="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FwCT0oq4sAw/UTnnUukWVjI/AAAAAAAAl4g/JD8Cd_pACo4/s1600/kimjongun-despot.jpg" class="decoded" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FwCT0oq4sAw/UTnnUukWVjI/AAAAAAAAl4g/JD8Cd_pACo4/s1600/kimjongun-despot.jpg" /><br />+<b>+++</b><br /><div class="thePhoto">

Seale attended <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_High_School_%28Berkeley,_California%29" title="Berkeley High School (Berkeley, California)">Berkeley High School</a>, and joined the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Air_Force" title="U.S. Air Force">U.S. Air Force</a> in 1955.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-2">[3]</a></sup> He spent three years in the Air Force before he received a bad conduct discharge for fighting with a commanding officer.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Spartacus_1-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-Spartacus-1">[2]</a></sup>
Upon his arrival back in Oakland, Seale began working at different
aerospace plants as a sheet metal mechanic, and attending night school
to earn his high school diploma.<br /><br />
In 1962, at the age of 25, Seale began attending <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merritt_College" title="Merritt College">Merritt College</a>,
a community college located on what was then Grove Street, now Martin
Luther King Jr Way, near the Berkeley city-limits. There he would join
the <a class="new" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Afro-American_Association&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Afro-American Association (page does not exist)">Afro-American Association</a>, (AAA) and met <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huey_Newton" title="Huey Newton">Huey Newton</a>,
with whom he later co-founded the Black Panther Party. Seale and
co-founder Newton became increasingly skeptical about the direction of
the AAA, particularly the AAA's tendency to analyze rather than act on
the problems facing black Americans.<br />

Seale and Newton, heavily inspired by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_X" title="Malcolm X">Malcolm X</a>,
a civil rights leader assassinated in 1965, and his teachings, joined
together in October 1966 to create the Black Panther Party for Self
Defense and adopt the slain activist's slogan “Freedom by any means
necessary” as their own. Seale became the chairman of the Black Panther
Party and underwent <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI" title="FBI">FBI</a> surveillance as part of its <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO" title="COINTELPRO">COINTELPRO</a> program.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-3">[4]</a></sup><br />
Bobby Seale was one of the original "<a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Eight" title="Chicago Eight">Chicago Eight</a>" defendants charged with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_%28crime%29" title="Conspiracy (crime)">conspiracy</a> and inciting to riot, in the wake of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Democratic_National_Convention" title="1968 Democratic National Convention">1968 Democratic National Convention</a>, in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a>.

During the trial, one of Seale's many outbursts led the judge to have him bound and gagged,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-africawithin_5-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-africawithin-5">[6]</a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template"><span style="white-space: nowrap;" title=" since August 2012">[<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Link_rot" title="Wikipedia:Link rot">dead link</a></i>]</span></sup> as commemorated in the song "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_%281970_song%29" title="Chicago (1970 song)">Chicago</a>" written by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Nash" title="Graham Nash">Graham Nash</a><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-6">[7]</a></sup> and mentioned in the poem and song "H2Ogate Blues" by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Scott-Heron" title="Gil Scott-Heron">Gil Scott-Heron</a>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-7">[8]</a></sup><br /><br />
The trial of the Chicago Eight was depicted in the 1987 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBO" title="HBO">HBO</a> television movie <i>Conspiracy: The Trial of the Chicago 8</i>, whose script relied heavily upon transcripts from the court proceedings. Seale was portrayed by actor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Lumbly" title="Carl Lumbly">Carl Lumbly</a>.<br />
While serving his four-year sentence, Seale was put on trial again in 1970 in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Haven_Black_Panther_trials" title="New Haven Black Panther trials">New Haven Black Panther trials</a>. Several officers of the Panther organization had murdered a fellow Panther, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Rackley" title="Alex Rackley">Alex Rackley</a>, who had confessed under torture to being a police informant.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-twocases_8-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-twocases-8">[9]</a></sup> The leader of the murder plan, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Sams,_Jr." title="George Sams, Jr.">George Sams, Jr.</a>,
turned state's evidence and testified that he had been ordered to kill
Rackley by Seale himself, who had visited New Haven only hours before
the murder. The New Haven trials were accompanied by a large
demonstration in New Haven on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Day" title="May Day">May Day</a>, 1970, which coincided with the beginning of the American college <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_Strike_of_1970" title="Student Strike of 1970">Student Strike of 1970</a>.
The jury was unable to reach a verdict in Seale's trial, and the
charges were eventually dropped. <br /><br />Seale was released from prison in 1972.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Spartacus_1-2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-Spartacus-1">[2]</a></sup>
While in prison Seale’s wife Artie became pregnant allegedly by fellow

found in a suspected Panther hideout in April 1971.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-9"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-9">[10]</a></sup>
Seale was implicated in the murder with police suspecting he had

to produce. According to several accounts the argument escalated to a
fight where Newton, backed by his armed bodyguards, beat Seale with a
bullwhip so badly that Seale required extensive medical treatment for
his injuries, went into hiding for nearly a year, and ended his
affiliation with the Party.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-12"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-12">[13]</a></sup><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-13"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-13">[14]</a></sup> Seale denied any such physical altercation took place dismissing rumors that he and Newton were ever less than friends.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-14"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-14">[15]</a></sup><br />

In more recent years, Seale’s actions have complemented the more
radical community-based ones of his past. In 1987, he wrote a cookbook
called <i>Barbeque'n with Bobby</i> with the proceeds going to various non-profit social organizations,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-africawithin_5-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Seale#cite_note-africawithin-5">[6]</a></sup> and also advertised <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_%26_Jerry%E2%80%99s" title="Ben & Jerry’s">Ben & Jerry’s</a> ice cream.<br /><br />
In the early 1990s, Seale appeared on the TV documentary series <i>Cold War</i>,
reminiscing about events in the 1960s. In 2002, Seale began dedicating
his time to Reach!, a group focused on youth education programs. An
instructional, nonprofit group helping people develop the necessary
techniques and tools to set up community organizations within their
neighborhoods.

<b>Bobby Seale was one of a generation of young African American
radicals who broke away from the usually nonviolent civil rights
movement to preach a doctrine of militant black empowerment, helping
found the Black Panthers in 1966. In the 1970s, as the Black Panthers
faded from public view, Seale took on a quieter role, working to improve
social services in black neighborhoods and other causes.

<br />By Alejandro Lifschitz
BUENOS AIRES |
Wed Mar 13, 2013 4:00pm EDT
(Reuters) - The first Latin American pope, Argentina's Jorge Bergoglio
is a moderate known for his strong negotiating skills as well as a
readiness to challenge powerful interests.<br />
<br />
He is a modest man from a middle class family who is content to travel by bus.<br />
<br />
Described
by his biographer as a balancing force, Bergoglio, 76, has monk-like
habits, is media shy and deeply concerned about the social inequalities
rife in his homeland and elsewhere in Latin America.<br />
<br />
"His
character is in every way that of a moderate. He is absolutely capable
of undertaking the necessary renovation without any leaps into the
unknown. He would be a balancing force," said Francesca Ambrogetti, who
co-authored a biography of Bergoglio after carrying out a series of
interviews with him over three years.<br />
<br />
"He
shares the view that the Church should have a missionary role, that
gets out to meet people, that is active.... a church that does not so
much regulate the faith as promote and facilitate it," she added.<br />
<br />
"His
lifestyle is sober and austere. That's the way he lives. He travels on
the underground, the bus, when he goes to Rome he flies economy class."<br />
<br />
The
former cardinal, the first Jesuit to become pope, was born into a
middle-class family of seven, his father a railway worker and his mother
a housewife.<br />
<br />
He is a solemn man,
deeply attached to centuries-old Roman Catholic traditions. Since
rejecting a comfortable archbishop's residence, he has lived in a small
apartment outside Buenos Aires where he spends his weekends in solitude.<br />
<br />
In
his rare public appearances, Bergoglio spares no harsh words for
politicians and Argentine society, and has had a tricky relationship
with President Cristina Fernandez and her late husband and predecessor,
Nestor Kirchner.<br />
<br />
TURBULENT TIMES<br />
<br />
Bergoglio
became a priest at 32, nearly a decade after losing a lung due to
respiratory illness and quitting his chemistry studies. Despite his late
start, he was leading the local Jesuit community within four years,
holding the post from 1973 to 1979.<br />
<br />
Bergoglio's
vocational success coincided with the bloody 1976-1983 military
dictatorship, during which up to 30,000 suspected leftists were
kidnapped and killed -- which prompted sharp questions about his role.<br />
The
most well-known episode relates to the abduction of two Jesuits whom
the military government secretly jailed for their work in poor
neighborhoods.<br />
<br />
According to "The
Silence," a book written by journalist Horacio Verbitsky, Bergoglio
withdrew his order's protection of the two men after they refused to
quit visiting the slums, which ultimately paved the way for their
capture.<br />
<br />
Verbitsky's book is based
on statements by Orlando Yorio, one of the kidnapped Jesuits, before he
died of natural causes in 2000. Both of the abducted clergymen survived
five months of imprisonment.<br />
<br />
"History
condemns him. It shows him to be opposed to all innovation in the
Church and above all, during the dictatorship, it shows he was very cozy
with the military," Fortunato Mallimacci, the former dean of social
sciences at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, once said.<br />
<br />
Those
who defend Bergoglio say there is no proof behind these claims and, on
the contrary, they say the priest helped many dissidents escape during
the military junta's rule.<br />
<br />
But in
the Vatican, far removed from the dictatorship's grim legacy, this quiet
priest is expected to lead the Church with an iron grip and a strong
social conscience.<br />
<br />
In 2010, he challenged the Argentine government when it backed a gay marriage bill.<br />
<br />
"Let's
not be naive. This isn't a simple political fight, it's an attempt to
destroy God's plan," he wrote in a letter days before the bill was
approved by Congress.<br />

At the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistory" title="Consistory">consistory</a> of 21 February 2001, Archbishop Bergoglio was created a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_%28Catholicism%29" title="Cardinal (Catholicism)">cardinal</a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_John_Paul_II" title="Pope John Paul II">Pope John Paul II</a> with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titular_church" title="Titular church">title</a> of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_%28Catholicism%29#Cardinal_priest" title="Cardinal (Catholicism)">cardinal-priest</a> of <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Roberto_Bellarmino_%28church%29" title="San Roberto Bellarmino (church)">San Roberto Bellarmino</a></i>.

</ul>
As cardinal, Bergoglio became known for personal humility, doctrinal conservatism and a commitment to social justice.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-12"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-12">[12]</a></sup>
A simple lifestyle contributed to his reputation for humility. He lived
in a small apartment, rather than in the palatial bishop's residence.
He gave up his chauffeured limousine in favor of public transportation,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-13"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-13">[13]</a></sup> and he reportedly cooked his own meals.<br /><br />
On the death of Pope John Paul II, Bergoglio was considered one of the <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papabile" title="Papabile">papabile</a></i> cardinals. He participated as a <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_electors_in_Papal_conclave,_2005" title="Cardinal electors in Papal conclave, 2005">cardinal elector</a> in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_conclave,_2005" title="Papal conclave, 2005">2005 papal conclave</a> that selected <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Benedict_XVI" title="Pope Benedict XVI">Pope Benedict XVI</a>.
It has been reported that Bergoglio was in close contention with
Ratzinger during the election, until he made an emotional plea<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-14"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-14">[14]</a></sup> that the cardinals should not vote for him.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-15"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-15">[15]</a></sup> Earlier, he had participated in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funeral_of_Pope_John_Paul_II" title="Funeral of Pope John Paul II">funeral of Pope John Paul II</a> and acted as a <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regent" title="Regent">regent</a> alongside the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_of_Cardinals" title="College of Cardinals">College of Cardinals</a>, governing the Holy See and the Roman Catholic Church during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interregnum" title="Interregnum">interregnum</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sede_vacante" title="Sede vacante">sede vacante</a> period.<br /><br />
During the 2005 Synod of Bishops, he was elected a member of the Post-Synodal council. Catholic journalist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_L._Allen,_Jr." title="John L. Allen, Jr.">John L. Allen, Jr.</a>
reported that Bergoglio was a frontrunner in the 2005 Conclave. An
unauthorized diary of uncertain authenticity released in September 2005<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-16">[16]</a></sup>
confirmed that Bergoglio was the runner-up and main challenger of
Cardinal Ratzinger at that conclave. The purported diary of the
anonymous cardinal claimed Bergoglio received 40 votes in the third
ballot, but fell back to 26 at the fourth and decisive ballot.<br /><br />
On 8 November 2005, Bergoglio was elected President of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_Episcopal_Conference" title="Argentine Episcopal Conference">Argentine Episcopal Conference</a>
for a three-year term (2005–2008) by a large majority of the Argentine
bishops, which according to reports confirms his local leadership and
the international prestige earned by his alleged performance in the
conclave. He was reelected on November 11, 2008.<br />
<h4>
<span class="mw-headline" id="Relations_with_the_Argentine_government">Relations with the Argentine government</span></h4>
Critics have accused him of ignoring the plight of victims during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Reorganization_Process" title="National Reorganization Process">country’s military dictatorship</a>
from 1976–1983, despite victims and their relatives relating first-hand
accounts of torture, death and kidnappings to the priests he supervised
as the local provincial of the Jesuit Order.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-17">[17]</a></sup><br />
On 15 April 2005, a human rights lawyer filed a criminal complaint
against Bergoglio, as superior in the Society of Jesus of Argentina,
accusing him of involvement in the kidnapping by the Navy in May 1976
(during the military dictatorship) of two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Jesus" title="Society of Jesus">Jesuit</a> priests.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-18"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-18">[18]</a></sup> The priests, Orlando Yorio and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Jalics" title="Franz Jalics">Franz Jalics</a>,
were found alive five months later, drugged and semi-naked. Yorio
accused Bergoglio of effectively handing them over to the death squads
by declining to tell the regime that he endorsed their work. Jalics
refused to discuss it after moving into seclusion in a German monastery.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-19"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-19">[19]</a></sup> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horacio_Verbitsky" title="Horacio Verbitsky">Horacio Verbitsky</a>, an Argentine investigative journalist and author, wrote a book about this and other related events titled <i>El Silencio: de Paulo VI a Bergoglio: las relaciones secretas de la Iglesia con la <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_Petty-Officers_School_of_Mechanics" title="Navy Petty-Officers School of Mechanics">ESMA</a></i>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-20"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-20">[20]</a></sup> However, after the priests’ imprisonment, Bergoglio worked behind the scenes for their release; his intercession with dictator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Rafael_Videla" title="Jorge Rafael Videla">Jorge Rafael Videla</a> on their behalf may have saved their lives.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-21"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-21">[21]</a></sup>
In 2010, Bergoglio told biographer Sergio Rubin that he often sheltered
people from the dictatorship on church property, and on one occasion
gave his identity papers to a man who looked like him, to enable the
recipient to flee Argentina.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-22"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-22">[22]</a></sup><br />

A simple lifestyle contributed to his reputation for humility. He lived
in a small apartment, rather than in the palatial bishop's residence.
He gave up his chauffeured limousine in favor of public transportation,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-13"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-13">[13]</a></sup> and he reportedly cooked his own meals.<br /><br />
On the death of Pope John Paul II, Bergoglio was considered one of the <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papabile" title="Papabile">papabile</a></i> cardinals.

Ratzinger during the election, until he made an emotional plea<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-14"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-14">[14]</a></sup> that the cardinals should not vote for him.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-15"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-15">[15]</a></sup> Earlier, he had participated in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funeral_of_Pope_John_Paul_II" title="Funeral of Pope John Paul II">funeral of Pope John Paul II</a> and acted as a <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regent" title="Regent">regent</a> alongside the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_of_Cardinals" title="College of Cardinals">College of Cardinals</a>, governing the Holy See and the Roman Catholic Church during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interregnum" title="Interregnum">interregnum</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sede_vacante" title="Sede vacante">sede vacante</a> period.<br /><br />

reported that Bergoglio was a frontrunner in the 2005 Conclave. An
unauthorized diary of uncertain authenticity released in September 2005<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-16">[16]</a></sup>
confirmed that Bergoglio was the runner-up and main challenger of
Cardinal Ratzinger at that conclave. The purported diary of the
anonymous cardinal claimed Bergoglio received 40 votes in the third
ballot, but fell back to 26 at the fourth and decisive ballot.<br /><br />
On 8 November 2005, Bergoglio was elected President of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_Episcopal_Conference" title="Argentine Episcopal Conference">Argentine Episcopal Conference</a>
for a three-year term (2005–2008) by a large majority of the Argentine

Critics have accused him of ignoring the plight of victims during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Reorganization_Process" title="National Reorganization Process">country’s military dictatorship</a>
from 1976–1983, despite victims and their relatives relating first-hand

as the local provincial of the Jesuit Order.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-17">[17]</a></sup><br />
On 15 April 2005, a human rights lawyer filed a criminal complaint
against Bergoglio, as superior in the Society of Jesus of Argentina,
accusing him of involvement in the kidnapping by the Navy in May 1976
(during the military dictatorship) of two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Jesus" title="Society of Jesus">Jesuit</a> priests.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-18"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-18">[18]</a></sup> The priests, Orlando Yorio and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Jalics" title="Franz Jalics">Franz Jalics</a>,
were found alive five months later, drugged and semi-naked. Yorio
accused Bergoglio of effectively handing them over to the death squads
by declining to tell the regime that he endorsed their work. Jalics
refused to discuss it after moving into seclusion in a German monastery.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-19"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-19">[19]</a></sup> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horacio_Verbitsky" title="Horacio Verbitsky">Horacio Verbitsky</a>, an Argentine investigative journalist and author, wrote a book about this and other related events titled <i>El Silencio: de Paulo VI a Bergoglio: las relaciones secretas de la Iglesia con la <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_Petty-Officers_School_of_Mechanics" title="Navy Petty-Officers School of Mechanics">ESMA</a></i>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-20"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-20">[20]</a></sup> However, after the priests’ imprisonment, Bergoglio worked behind the scenes for their release; his intercession with dictator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Rafael_Videla" title="Jorge Rafael Videla">Jorge Rafael Videla</a> on their behalf may have saved their lives.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-21"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-21">[21]</a></sup>
In 2010, Bergoglio told biographer Sergio Rubin that he often sheltered
people from the dictatorship on church property, and on one occasion
gave his identity papers to a man who looked like him, to enable the
recipient to flee Argentina.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-22"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis#cite_note-22">[22]</a></sup><br />

<b>Born in June 1829, in No-Doyohn Canyon, Mexico, Geronimo

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=22901361" name="early-years">Early Years</a></h3>
<b>A legend of the untamed American frontier, the Apache leader
Geronimo was born in June 1829 in No-Doyohn Canyon, Mexico. He was a
naturally gifted hunter, who, the story goes, as a boy swallowed the
heart of his first kill in order to ensure a life of success on the
chase. <br /><br /> Being on the run certainly defined Geronimo's way of
life. He belonged to the smallest band within the Chiricahua tribe, the
Bedonkohe. Numbering a little more than 8,000, the Apaches were
surrounded by enemies—not just Mexicans, but also other tribes,
including the Navajo and Comanches. <br /><br /> Raiding their neighbors was
also a part of the Apache life. In response the Mexican government put a
bounty on Apache scalps, offering as much as $25 for a child's scalp.
But this did little to deter Geronimo and his people. At the age of 17
Geronimo had already led four successful raiding operations. <br /><br /> Around this same time Geronimo fell in love with a woman named Alope. The two married and had three children together. <br /><br />
Then tragedy struck. While out on a trading trip, Mexican soldiers
attacked his camp. Word of the ransacking soon reached the Apache men.
Quietly that night, Geronimo returned home, where he found his mother,
wife and three children all dead.</b><br />
<h3>
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=22901361" name="warrior-leader">Warrior Leader</a></h3>
<b>
</b><b>The murders devastated Geronimo. In the tradition of the
Apache, he set fire to his family's belongings and then, in a show of
grief, headed into the wilderness to bereave the deaths. There, it's
said, alone and crying, a voice came to Geronimo that promised him: "No
gun will ever kill you. I will take the bullets from the guns of the
Mexicans … and I will guide your arrows." <br /><br /> Backed by this sudden
knowledge of power, Geronimo rounded up a force of 200 men and hunted
down the Mexican soldiers who killed his family. On it went like this
for 10 years, as Geronimo exacted revenge against the Mexican
government. <br /><br /> Beginning in the 1850s, the face of his enemy
changed. Following the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848, the U.S.
took over large tracts of territory from Mexico, including areas
belonging to the Apache. Spurred by the discovery of gold in the
Southwest, settlers and miners streamed into their lands. Naturally,
tensions mounted. The Apaches stepped up their attacks, which included
brutal ambushes on stagecoaches and wagon trains. <br /><br /> But the Chiricahua leader, Geronimo's father-in-law, <a href="http://www.biography.com/people/cochise-9252022">Cochise</a>,
could see where the future was headed. In an act that greatly
disappointed his son-in-law, the revered chief called a halt to his
decade-long war with the Americans and agreed to the establishment of a
reservation for his people on a prized piece of Apache property. </b><br />

<b> But within just a few years, <a href="http://www.biography.com/people/cochise-9252022">Cochise</a>
died, and the federal government reneged on its agreement, moving the
Chiricahua north so that settlers could move into their former lands.
This act only further incensed Geronimo, setting off a new round of
fighting. <br /><br /> Geronimo proved to be as elusive as he was aggressive. However,

</b><b> authorities finally caught up with him in 1877 and sent him
to the San Carlos Apache reservation. For four long years he struggled
with his new reservation life, finally escaping in September 1881.<br /><br />
Out on his own again, Geronimo and a small band of Chiricahua followers
eluded American troops. Over the next five years they engaged in what
proved to be the last of the Indian wars against the U.S.<br /><br />
Perceptions of Geronimo were nearly as complex as the man himself. His
followers viewed him as the last great defender of the Native American
way of life. But others, including fellow Apaches, saw him as a stubborn
holdout, violently driven by revenge and foolishly putting the lives of
people in danger. <br /><br /> With his followers in tow, Geronimo shot
across the Southwest. As he did, the seemingly mystical leader was
transformed into a legend as newspapers closely followed the Army's
pursuit of him. At one point nearly a quarter of the Army's forces—5,000
troops—were trying to hunt him down. <br /><br /> Finally, in the summer of
1886, he surrendered, the last Chiricahua to do so. Over the next
several years Geronimo and his people were bounced around, first to a
prison in Florida, then a prison camp in Alabama, and then Fort Sill in
Oklahoma. In total, the group spent 27 years as prisoners of war.</b><br />

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=22901361" name="final-years">Final Years</a></h3>
<b>While he and the rest of the Chiricahua remained under guard,
Geronimo experienced a bit of celebrity from his white former enemies.
Less than a decade after he'd surrendered, crowds longed to catch a
glimpse of the famous Indian warrior. In 1905 he published his
autobiography, and that same year he received a private audience with
President <a href="http://www.biography.com/people/theodore-roosevelt-9463424">Theodore Roosevelt</a>, unsuccessfully pressing the American leader to let his people return to Arizona. <br /><br />
His death came four years later. While riding home in February 1909, he
was thrown from his horse. He survived a night out in the cold, but
when a friend found him the next day, Geronimo's health was rapidly
deteriorating. He passed away six days later, with his nephew at his
side. <br /><br /> "I should never have surrendered," Geronimo, still a
prisoner of war, said on his deathbed. "I should have fought until I was
the last man alive."</b><br />

prominence when he delivered an <a href="http://usliberals.about.com/od/extraordinaryspeeches/a/ObamaSpeech.htm">inspiring keynote speech </a>at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
On June 3, 2008, Obama accumulated enough Democratic convention
delegates votes to become the presumptive party nominee for the
presidential race.<br />
In 2004, Sen. Obama signed a $1.9 million deal to author 3 books. The first, <a href="http://usliberals.about.com/od/bookrecommendations/tp/DemSenBooks.htm">"The Audacity of Hope,"</a>, discusses his political convictions. His 1995 autobiography was a bestseller. </div>

The Obama Persona:</h3>
<div>
Barack
Obama is a independent-minded leader with an even-keel temperament,
charismatic speaking skills and a knack for consensus-building. He's
also a talented, introspective writer.
His values are strongly shaped by his expertise as a Constitutional law
professor and civil rights attorney, and by Christianity. While private
by nature, Obama mingles easily with others, but is most comfortable
addressing large crowds. <br /><br />
Obama is known for being unafraid to speak and hear hard truths when
necessary. Although armed with shrewd political sensibilities, he's
sometimes slow to recognize viable threats to his agenda. </div>
<h3 id="pd4">
Major Areas of Interest:</h3>
<div>
Sen.
Obama's areas of special legislative interest have been in support for
working families, public education, health care, economic growth and
jobs creation, and ending the Iraq War. As an Illinois state senator, he
worked passionately for ethics reforms and criminal justice reform.
In 2002, Obama publicly <a href="http://usliberals.about.com/od/extraordinaryspeeches/a/Obama2002War.htm">opposed the Bush Administration's push for the Iraq War</a>, but supported war in Afghanistan. </div>
<h3 id="pd5">
Senate Committees in the 110th Congress:</h3>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Committee on Foreign Relations
</li>

</li>
<li>Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions
</li>
<li>Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs</li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3 id="pd6">
Practical, Progressive Thinking on the Issues:</h3>
<div>
In 2002, Barack Obama publicly <a href="http://usliberals.about.com/od/extraordinaryspeeches/a/Obama2002War.htm">opposed the Iraq War</a>, and continues to call for withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. He urges <a href="http://usliberals.about.com/od/extraordinaryspeeches/a/ObamaHealthIns.htm">universal health care</a>, and if elected president, promises implementation by the end of his first term.
Barack Obama's voting record and stances as US Senator and Illinois
State Senator reflect a "practical, common sense progressive" thinker
who emphasizes increased support for teachers, college affordability,
and restoration of meaningful federal support of veterans. Obama opposes
privatization of Social Security. </div>
<h3 id="pd7">
Prior Experience:</h3>

Barack
Obama served 7 years as an Illinois State Senator, resigning to assume
U.S. Senate responsibilities. He also worked as a community organizer
and a civil rights attorney. Obama was also a Senior Lecturer in
Constitutional Law at University of Chicago Law School.
After law school, he aggressively organized one of the largest voter

Memorable Quotes:</h3>
<div>
"You can't have No Child Left Behind if you leave the money behind."
"I do agree that the Democrats have been intellectually lazy in failing
to take the core ideals of the Democratic Party and adapting them to
circumstances.... It's not just a matter of sticking in a quote from the
Bible into a stock speech." <br /><br />
"There has yet to be a serious conversation about health care on the floor of the United States Senate." <br />
"...as parents, we need to find the time and the energy to step in and
find ways to help our kids love reading. We can read to them, talk to
them about what they're reading and make time for this by turning off
the TV ourselves. Libraries can help parents with this. Knowing the
constraints we face from busy schedules and a TV culture, we need to
think outside the box here - to dream big like we always have in
America. <br /><br />
Right now, children come home from their first doctor's appointment with
an extra bottle of formula. But imagine if they came home with their
first library card or their first copy of Goodnight Moon? What if it was
as easy to get a book as it is to rent a DVD or pick up McDonalds? What
if instead of a toy in every Happy Meal, there was a book? What if
there were portable libraries that rolled through parks and playgrounds
like ice cream trucks? Or kiosks in stores where you could borrow books?
<br /><br />
What if during the summer, when kids often lose much of the reading
progress they've made during the year, every child had a list of books
they had to read and talk about and an invitation to a summer reading
club at the local library? Libraries have a special role to play in our
knowledge economy." -- June 27, 2005 Speech to the American Library
Association</div>
