  • DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World
    DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization.

  • The Bingham Family from the Old
    THE FILSON CLUB HISTORY QUARTERLY VOL. 61 JANUARY 1987 NO. 1 THE BINGHAM FAMILY: FROM THE OLD SOUTH TO THE NEW SOUTH AND BEYOND WILLIAM E. ELLIS After reading Gone With the Wind in early 1937, Robert Worth Bingham, American Ambassador to Great Britain and son of a Confederate veteran, reacted effusively to Margaret Mitchell's classic novel. He exclaimed : I do not thank you for "Gone With the Wind" -- I bless you .... I know every phase of it all; the poverty and the pride, the gentility, the gracious manners, the romance, the preservation of dignity and high and generous humanity in rags and semi-starvation. 1 If Mitchell's epic synthesized the popular 1930s interpretation of the Civil War and Reconstruction, to Bingham it meant much more. He believed the book exonerated the history of his father's generation and vindicated his own behavior. Here was no rabid racist of the Tom Watson variety. In his public life Bingham epitomized the best of the southern ethos of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He fought against political cor- ruption in the Progressive Era as a young lawyer, mayor, and judge in Louisville, Kentucky. After purchasing the Louisville Courier-Journal in 1918, he continued his crusade against Ken- tucky's Gothic political system until his death in late 1937. More- over, he led the effort to develop a nationwide system of farmer cooperatives in the early twenties3 Bingham never transcended his southern background of the WILLIAM E. ELLIS, PH.D., teaches history at Eastern Kentucky Univer- sity. He wishes to express his gratitude to Eastern Kentucky University and to the National Endowment for the Humanities for travel and research funds used in the preparation of this article.

  • And Type the TITLE of YOUR WORK in All Caps
    A. B. “HAPPY” CHANDLER AND THE POLITICS OF CIVIL RIGHTS by JOHN PAUL HILL (Under the Direction of James C. Cobb) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the complex civil rights views of Albert Benjamin “Happy” Chandler, one of Kentucky’s most controversial and charismatic politicians of the twentieth century. To offer perspective on his positions, this study focuses on Chandler’s statements and actions during several important periods in civil rights history. Chandler served two terms as governor (1935-1939, 1955-1959). During the first, the NAACP launched its first concerted campaign to desegregate the University of Kentucky. During the second, whites in two western Kentucky communities violently protested efforts to desegregate local schools in compliance with the Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. Between his two terms as governor, Chandler served six years in the United States Senate (1939-1945) and six years as commissioner of Major League Baseball (1945-1951). As a member of the Senate, Chandler voted on antilynching legislation and on two bills designed to eliminate the poll tax in state and federal elections. During his term as commissioner, the game’s entrenched, longstanding ban on interracial play collapsed when Jackie Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. In 1968, nine years after he had last held elective office, Chandler nearly became the running mate of George C. Wallace, the arch-segregationist former governor of Alabama who was pursuing the presidency under the banner of the American Independent Party. Despite his flirtation with Wallace, Chandler’s overall handling of the important civil rights matters of the day clearly distinguished him from most of his southern political colleagues.

    A.Place in Time: City -.- Limerick Page 1 of 4 9I: / / A Place in Time i 'I The story of Louisville's neighborhoods '1 A publication @The CourierJournal B 1989 Limerick GENEROSITY WAS CORNERSTONE UPON WHICH IRISH AND BLACKS BUILT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD By Pat O'Connor O The Courier-Journal imerick. Its very name brings up thoughts of the Irish -- shamrocks, leprechauns, the wearing of the green. But the Limerick neighborhood was home to a small, close-knit community years before the first Irishman put down roots in the area. Before the Civil War, much of the area was farm land. Starting in the 1830s, a small community of blacks lived in the area between Broadway and Kentucky Street. Many were slaves who labored on a large plantation at Seventh and Kentucky streets; others were free blacks who were household servants. In 1858, the Louisville & Nashville Railroad bought the Kentucky Locomotive Works at 10th and Kentucky streets for $80,000, and within a decade, the railroad had built repair shops and a planing mill. At about that time, many Irish workers began moving their families from Portland into Limerick, nearer their jobs. Typically, they lived in modest brick or wood-fiarne houses or shotgun cottages, which were later replaced by the three-story brick and stone structures that line the streets today. L & N also hired black laborers, who lived with their families in homes in alleys behind streets. But fi-om the mid- 19th century until about 1905, Limerick was known as the city's predominant Irish neighborhood. Some historic accounts credit Tom Reilly, an early resident, with giving the neighborhood its name, and others believe it was named for the county or city of Limerick, which is on Ireland's west coast.

  • Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society Newsletter
    GREATER JEFFERSONTOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER August 2013 Vol. 11 Number 4 August 2013 Meeting The August meeting will be Monday, August 5, 2013. We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. August Meeting - Lessons From Rosenwald Schools Julia Bache will discuss the Rosenwald School movement and how Julius Rosenwald, part owner of the Sears and Roebuck Company, and Booker T. Washington partnered together in the early 1900s to build over 5,000 schools. There were seven Rosenwald schools in Jefferson County and one of those was the Alexander-Ingram School in Jeffersontown. She will also speak about how to take part in historic preservation. Please visit Ms. Bache's work in the Jeffersontown Historical Museum. It will be displayed through noon on August 7th. Julia is a sixteen year old high school student who has recently taken an active stance in historic preservation as a part of her Girl Scout Gold Award Project. With the guidance of L. Martin Perry, she nominated the Buck Creek Rosenwald School to be on the National Register of Historic Places, becoming the first high school student in Kentucky to do so. She then helped educate the public about preservation through a traveling museum exhibit that she created in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. She has also been speaking to various audiences throughout Kentucky about preserving Rosenwald Schools.
