This volume begins with the Prologue that is a brief 13 pages dedicated to a revealing historical summary of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, from 73 AD to the present day, with some comments about the emergence and early growth of Christianity, the revealing vestiges of the Roman and Holy Roman Empires and some stark comparisons with modern day USA. Next, this volume becomes devoted to the recognition of a few of the people who, throughout the history of this country, were the “Flowers in the Killing Fields” or “Flowers among Warriors”, so to speak. Every war has its OVERT heroes, but we must also remember the unsung and COVERT heroes who get very little credit but who perform or performed services to their country and/or the scientific community way above and beyond the call of duty. Some are persecuted for their highly effective efforts during the Vietnam War, such as Frank Snepp III and Ralph McGeehee mentioned earlier in this series. Some are the unsung heroes of many ferocious battles, both political and combat, of the unpopular war in Vietnam, such as, Paul Reed, Tom Paukin, Harry Reese, Rick Spangle and a few others also reported earlier in this series. Two of these “Flowers” being acknowledged in this book were among the “Founding Fathers” of our country, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Eli Whitney is termed by some as the FATHER OF AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY. He produced 25,000 flint lock rifles for the War of 1812. In 1842 Samuel Colt went bankrupt and had no revolvers. The war with Mexico broke out in 1848 and the US government needed guns. They ordered 1000 revolvers from Colt and Colt subcontracted the order to the factory set up by Eli Whitney 40 years earlier and went on to learn about manufacturing guns at Whitney’s factory. Richard Gatling created the most sophisticated gun of all time and Abraham Lincoln, with his political philosophy of balance, strong resolve and propensity for depression, stabilized the American nation at war and gave one of the greatest speeches of all time at Gettysburg, PA. Unknown to most people, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were the two greatest spies in the entire history of this great country and that fact is why they are featured here. 4 “FLOWERS IN THE KILLING FIELDS II” By Rick Spangle “Flowers in the Killing Fields II” By Rick Spangle Andrew Jackson’s use of covert action, and a plan of deception, at the battle of New Orleans gets him my vote as a “Flower in the Killing Fields”. Eli Whitney’s advancement of, and use of, interchangeable manufactured parts and sub assemblies for the manufacture and repair of guns on a grand scale was a big factor in America winning the war of 1812 where Britain attempted to regain control of the “Colonies”. Whitney was a personal friend of Thomas Jefferson and Whitney received support from our government in the manufacture and repair of guns and the interchangeable parts for guns that he sold. The first chapter will be fairly short and I hope to fill the readers in on a few facts that are not generally known about old George, Ben, Eli, Old Hickory, and the others, including Abraham Lincoln and Allan Pinkerton. Some flowers in the killing fields were captains or soldiers of industry and technology who were maligned or unheralded and unknown during their own time but what they did quietly for our country and our society should be well known and greatly applauded by us and future generations. Such is the case with Allan Pinkerton, George Westinghouse, Nicola Tesla, Kelly Johnson, Henry Singleton, George Roberts and many, many others. These chapters will be developed in much more detail. There are possibly hundreds of these “FLOWERS IN THE KILLING FIELDS” of previous wars and of the Cold War, and sadly, we will only be able to highlight a few and bring them to the attention of many people who have no idea of the tremendous contributions that these people made to winning previous wars, the Cold War and advancing the technologies available to people all over the world. Such is the case with Whitney, Colt, Gatling, Westinghouse, Tesla, Johnson, Singleton, Roberts and many others. We could have picked or included many other people, but this book is devoted to the people that we have chosen, what they did, that is still unknown to most people, to help the founding of this country, win previous wars, win the Cold War and make the contributions they did to create technology for the advancement of the American people and people worldwide. Hopefully this volume will make many people aware of contributions that were made by a few people that were so monumental that their deeds and accomplishments now should be shouted from the rooftops and they should be acknowledged as some of the pioneers of the 5 “FLOWERS IN THE KILLING FIELDS II” By Rick Spangle “Flowers in the Killing Fields II” By Rick Spangle world of the emerging aerospace industries of the late 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s that laid the groundwork and foundations for generations to come in the fields of mathematics, aerospace, semiconductors, computers and other technologies that have helped people all over the world have a better way of life. The people chosen for this volume worked their entire lives on the forefront of these technologies for companies that were mostly involved in research and development that had to be classified and held TOP SECRET at the time because of the Cold War which existed between the forces of socialist Marxist communism and the forces of SEMI-FREE capitalism. As such, most people knew nothing of what was going on behind the scenes to advance these technologies in the face of those attempting to steal these technologies and use them for the destruction of free capitalism and for the ruin of the emerging age of technology and the use of these resources for the advancement of humankind, instead of to its detriment. The people chosen for this volume worked for contractors and sub contractors of the United States Government attempting to protect this country from the emerging Socialist Communist Empire that began with the writings of Karl Marx and then with the Fabian Society, continued with the ultra-violent Russian Marxist Revolution (Lenin, Dzerzhinsky, Stalin and Beria) and continues today with the liberal push for more larger government, more government control of our individual lives, less and less freedom, fewer and fewer individual rights and freedoms, more and more BIGNESS and big governmental control of everything in existence. 6 “FLOWERS IN THE KILLING FIELDS II” By Rick Spangle “Flowers in the Killing Fields II” By Rick Spangle TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 1770 TO 1884 FLOWERS IN THE KILLING FIELDS GEORGE WASHINGTON, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, ELI WHITNEY, ANDREW JACKSON, BENJAMIN TYLER HENRY, SAMUEL COLT, RICHARD GATLING, ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND A FEW OTHERS THE ANTAGONIST THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA ALMOST COMPLETE (NEEDS A LITTLE ABOUT LINCOLN AND A BIT MORE ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR) 7 “FLOWERS IN THE KILLING FIELDS II” By Rick Spangle “Flowers in the Killing Fields II” By Rick Spangle CHAPTER 2 1885 TO 1932 THE DRIVE TO SOCIALISM BEGINS THE EARLY DAYS OF SOCIALISM MARX AND ENGLES THE FABIAN SOCIETY FOUNDED IN BRITAIN IN 1884 1902 TO 1922 THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION AND THE FORMATION OF THE CHEKA LENIN AND DERZHINZSKY BRIGHT LIGHTS (FLOWERS) GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE AND NICOLA TESLA THE CRIPTO BUREAU (THE FORERUNNER OF THE NSA) OPENS ITS DOORS IN 1917 8 “FLOWERS IN THE KILLING FIELDS II” By Rick Spangle “Flowers in the Killing Fields II” By Rick Spangle THE CHECKA (THE RUSSIAN SECRET POLICE) WAS FOUNDED BY VLADIMIR LENIN AND IRON FELIX DZERZHINSKY AFTER THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION, FROM 1922 TO 1931, LENIN AND IRON FELIX EXECUTED ABOUT 500,000 OF THEIR COUNTRYMEN WHO WERE THEIR ENEMIES.
