© 2016 M S King © 2016 M S KING "History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind." Edward Gibbon, English historian (1737-1794) From: "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" 2 About the Author M. S. King is a private investigative journalist and researcher based in the New York City area. A 1987 graduate of Rutgers University, King's subsequent 30 year career in Marketing & Advertising has equipped him with a unique perspective when it comes to understanding how "public opinion" is indeed scientifically manufactured. Madison Ave marketing acumen combines with 'City Boy' instincts to make M.S. King one of the most tenacious detectors of "things that don‘t add up" in the world today. Says King of his admitted quirks, irreverent disdain for "conventional wisdom", and uncanny ability to ferret out and weave together important data points that others miss: "Had Sherlock Holmes been an actual historical personage, I would have been his reincarnation." King‘s other historical works, (see Amazon author page for M S King) include: The Bad War: The REAL Story of World War II The War Against Putin: What the Government-Media Complex Isn‘t Telling You About Russia Planet Rothschild: The Forbidden History of the New World Order Napoleon vs the Old & New World Orders King‘s other interests include: the animal kingdom, philosophy, chess, cooking, literature and history (with emphasis on events of the late 19th through the 20th centuries).

It was the courage, the strength, the indomitable will and the inspirational oratory of ―The British Bulldog‖ – the court historians assure us - that saved Britain and the ―free world‖ from capitulating to Adolf Hitler (cringe in fear and look over your shoulder as you read that name). In remembrance of such noble attributes and deeds, statues of ―Sir Winston‖ stand (and sit) all over England, and even in Canada, the USA and continental Europe. Countless schools bear his name, as do parks, towns, squares, highways, streets, tanks, submarines, ships, mountain ranges, trust funds and even cigars. The Predatory Ruling Class worships and immortalizes its top agents. Churchill statues: 1- London 2- New Orleans 3- Halifax, Canada 4- Paris 5- Washington DC 6- Jerusalem 7-Toronto 8- Canberra, Australia 5 More than just a great statesman, Churchill was –the best-selling biographers assure us – a literary giant as well. Indeed, his numerous and voluminous historical works made him one of the most prolific writers ever to serve as head of state. There is just one wee-little problem with this flattering historical narrative of Winston Churchill– it is false! And by false, author M S King doesn‘t merely mean to say embellished, exaggerated or incomplete. No, the entire tale is a monstrous lie -- originally engineered to conceal the foul deeds of a deranged warmonger, and since perpetuated out of ignorance and academic arrogance. With the help of media hype, the great and the good of Anglo-American academia have earned a fortune peddling and re-peddling verbose fallacies about the heroism of „The British Bulldog”. In ―The British Mad Dog‖, King draws heavily upon ―mainstream‖ sources in order to strip bare the phony facade of this vilest of charlatans. The surgical precision with which Churchill is cut down to size will radically change not only your view of the man, but also of the corrupt and fake world in which we live. Notes King of the mountain of scattered evidence which he has accumulated and simplified to expose Churchill: 6 ―It is interesting to note how so many, and I do mean MANY otherwise pro- Churchill historians who have divulged a particular mistake or a particular flaw of Churchill‘s, will always do so in such a context as if to say, ‗Churchill once did this really bad thing or he once did that really stupid thing; but, of course, he was still a great leader.‘ But when we string so bloody-damn-many of these ‗yeah buts‘ together in a single collection, which is what ‗The British Mad Dog‘ does, a clear thinker can only come to the conclusion that there should not be a mitigating ‗but‘ added to any of his countless crimes or follies. Churchill was an incompetent, immoral, dishonest, sadistic, criminal psychopath of the first rank. One would be tempted to mention him in the same breath as beasts like Genghis Khan or Joseph Stalin, except for the fact that those monsters at least manifested some degree of administrative competence.‖ Such a strong tone will no doubt shock those book and TV worshippers raised on the iconic hero-worship of Winston Churchill. King‘s irreverent and incendiary tone aside, the discerning reader will neither be able to refute the easily-verifiable facts contained herein, nor the conclusions which logically flow from them. Sorry professor, Churchill is going down! Enjoy the show. FACT-CHECK REWARD! The author will pay $100 to each reader who is first to conclusively refute the accuracy of a specific quote or stated fact contained in ‗The British Mad Dog‘. An immediate retraction and editing will follow. For immediate and impartial review of your fact-check challenge, write to: [email protected] * General disagreement with the conclusions and opinions expressed in this book does not qualify for the fact-check reward review. 7 8 SECTION 1 The Churchill Family 1600 -1700 THE ROOTS OF THE CHURCHILL FAMILY DYNASTY The Churchill Family had already been prominent in English society and politics for about 250 years before the subject of this book was even born. The start of the dynasty traces back to Sir Winston Churchill (1620 –1688), an English soldier, historian, and politician. Sir Winston‘s son, John Churchill (1650–1722), was also a military leader and an ambitious political climber. He was awarded the title ―1st Earl of Marlborough‖ by Queen Anne in 1702. The Dukedom of Marlborough is also a branch of the Spencer family (as in Lady Diana Spencer). 1- Sir Winston Churchill 2- General John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, Prince of Mindelheim 3- The Churchill Family Tree -- centuries of wealth and privilege. 9 1849-1895 LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL – WINSTON‟S POLITICIAN FATHER Lord Randolph Churchill is the third son of the 7th Duke of Marlborough. He is a mediocre student who, along with his brother, George, is initiated into the rites of secretive Freemasonry. Lord Randolph will become known as a charismatic and aggressive politician who serves as Leader of the House of Commons and Chancellor of the Exchequer (Treasury Secretary). Known for his ‗busy-body‘ activism and razor-sharp rhetorical invective, the over-compensating big-mouth is regarded highly by Benjamin Disraeli – the notorious warmonger who twice-served as Britain‘s Prime Minister. Lord Randolph‘s abusive tone was not limited toward political adversaries. Throughout his life, young Winston often bore the brunt of his father‘s harsh words of disappointment. (1) Lord Randolph dies at 45 of a slow illness thought to syphilis at age 45. (2) Cartoons poke fun at the self-aggrandizing Lord Randolph‟s annoying interference in everything and anything. “a gnatty little thing” -- “and aggravating boy in the way again!” -- “Churchillious” 10 1854-1921 LADY RANDOLPH CHURCHILL (Jeanette Jerome) – WINSTON‟S SOCIALITE WHORE OF A MOTHER Jeanette ―Jennie‖ Jerome is a beautiful American socialite and second daughter of New York financier, Leonard Jerome (1817-1892). Papa Jerome is a flamboyant stock speculator known as "The King of Wall Street". Jerome's wealth affords his three daughters the opportunity to spend much time in Europe, where they associate with the aristocratic elite of the day. All three girls end up marrying British or Anglo-Irish husbands. New York City‘s busy Jerome Avenue, one of the longest thoroughfares in New York, came to be named after Leonard Jerome when his wife, Kate Hall Jerome, demanded the road be named after her husband – going so far as to use her own money to have signs reading ―Jerome Avenue‖ erected in place of the old ones! (3) 1- Leonard Jerome, (Winston‟s maternal grandfather) was known as “The King of Wall Street.” 2- The Jerome Mansion at 26th Street and Madison Avenue 3 & 4- Jennie Churchill was a lovely and lively social climber. In early 1874, Jennie Jerome and her beau, the previously mentioned Lord Randolph Churchill, do something very naughty (at least by the social standards of Victorian England!) and conceive a child while not yet married. The British Lord quickly marries the American heiress, making her Lady Randolph Churchill. Eight months after the wedding, the ―wedding night baby‖ Winston Leonard Spencer- Churchill is brought into the world ―one month prematurely‖ -- with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth.

  • The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond. THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 An historical biography: 1969-2004 by Omékongo Dibinga Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 Advisory Committee: Professor Barbara Finkelstein, Chair Professor Steve Klees Professor Robert Croninger Professor Derrick Alridge Professor Hoda Mahmoudi © Copyright by Omékongo Dibinga 2015 Acknowledgments I would first like to thank God for making life possible and bringing me to this point in my life.

  • IL BOMBARDAMENTO STRATEGICO Di Emilio Bonaiti
    IL BOMBARDAMENTO STRATEGICO di Emilio Bonaiti “Qualunque cosa si dica, i bombardieri passeranno sempre. L’unica difesa è l’offesa, il che significa che dovrete uccidere donne e bambini più velocemente del nemico, se vorrete salvarvi”. Stanley Baldwin La Grande Guerra - I ‘profeti’ - Gli anni tra le due guerre - La seconda guerra mondiale - La spada - Lo scudo - L’incursione - Finis belli. In The strategic air offensive against Germany, storia ufficiale della Royal Air Force scritta da Charles Webster e Noble Frankland, vi è una chiara definizione del bombardamento strategico: “L’offensiva aerea strategica è un mezzo di attacco diretto contro lo stato nemico, con l’obiettivo di privarlo dei mezzi e della volontà di continuare la guerra. Esso può essere lo strumento che di per sé assicura la vittoria, ovvero il mezzo mediante il quale la vittoria può essere conseguita da altre forze. Esso si distingue da tutti i tipi convenzionali di attacco armato in quanto, a differenza degli altri, può colpire in modo immediato, diretto e distruttivo il cuore stesso del nemico. Pertanto la sua sfera di attività si estende non solo al di sopra, ma anche al di là di quella degli eserciti e delle marine da guerra”. Secondo i manuali il bombardamento strategico, definito anche bombardamento logistico, ha l’obiettivo di ridurre, ritardare o annullare la produzione dei mezzi bellici, dei rifornimenti, delle comunicazioni del nemico allo scopo di annullare la sua volontà di continuare nella lotta. Invero, a giudizio di chi scrive, definizione più esatta, più calzante, sarebbe quella di bombardamento terroristico, attuato allo scopo di distruggere fisicamente la popolazione civile.

    Military History Anniversaries 1 thru 15 MAR Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests Mar 01 1781 – American Revolution: Articles of Confederation are Ratified » The Articles are finally ratified. They were signed by Congress and sent to the individual states for ratification on November 15, 1777, after 16 months of debate. Bickering over land claims between Virginia and Maryland delayed final ratification for almost four more years. Maryland finally approved the Articles on March 1, 1781, affirming the Articles as the outline of the official government of the United States. The nation was guided by the Articles of Confederation until the implementation of the current U.S. Constitution in 1789. The critical distinction between the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution —the primacy of the states under the Articles—is best understood by comparing the following lines. The Articles of Confederation begin: “To all to whom these Present shall come, we the undersigned Delegates of the States” By contrast, the Constitution begins: “We the People of the United States do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” The predominance of the states under the Articles of Confederation is made even more explicit by the claims of Article II: “Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States, in Congress assembled.” Less than five years after the ratification of the Articles of Confederation, enough leading Americans decided that the system was inadequate to the task of governance that they peacefully overthrew their second government in just over 20 years.
