Pastor Bob: I have to question your citing THE GREAT AMERICAN ADVENTURE by Judge Dale. It contains anomalies that just plain wrong! For instance, Judge Dale asserts the following concerning Alexander Hamilton:
"While Mr. Rothschild openly condemned the use of Colonial Scriptas money by calling it worthless, his agents and employees who hadsecretly infiltrated the American colonies were instructed to buy upor trade for all available Script that they could lay their hands on.While this was going on, Rothschild sent his top banking agent inEurope, to further infiltrate the new American Government, a manby the name of Alexander Levine.Once in America, Mr. Levine changed his last name to Hamilton, toobscure his Sabbatean Jewish ancestry and conceal any connectionas the CFO of the Rothschild banking empire. Alexander Hamiltonsecured employment as the personal secretary to General GeorgeWashington and after Washington’s election to the Office ofPresident, Alexander Hamilton was appointed by PresidentWashington as the first United States Secretary of the Treasury. "There is no mystery about Hamilton's pedigree. Here it is (from Wikipedia).Alexander Hamilton was born in Charlestown, the capital of the island of Nevis, in the Leeward Islands; Nevis was one of theBritish West Indies. Hamilton was born out of wedlock to Rachel Faucette, a married woman of partial French Huguenot descent, and James A. Hamilton, the fourth son of the Scottish lairdAlexander Hamilton of Grange, Ayrshire.[2]Hamilton was adopted, sent to school in New Jersey and ultimately to what is now Columbia University. He formed his own militia unit there. He fought a sort of successful artillery battle with the invading British and ultimately became a distinguished aide de campe to General Washington. Hamilton was a distinguished American patriot. His vision of government differed exceedingly from Jefferson's (and mine). So what! Every founder differed in their viewpoints, and the result was the USA ,,, a constitutional representative republic.Next, the Judge talks about the Revolutionary war.England had just defeated Napoleon and the English soldiers werebattle weary. Most of the English soldiers refused to fight theAmerican Colonists because so many of the Colonists were theirrelatives. So Mr. Bauer traveled to Prussia and engaged theservices of unemployed Hessian mercenaries for the career Englishofficers to command. The Hessian soldiers had just finished fightingthe Seven Years War and there was little need or employment forcareer soldiers. p30"Judge Dale - The Great American Adventure (pdf)"NAPOLEON WAS 5-6 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR! ENGLAND MUST HAVE HAD A REALLY FEROCIOUS BATTLE WITH THE TODDLER.The British were NOT fond of the settlers! We're all familiar with YANKEE DOODLE. The term was originally a term of British contempt: DOODLE refers to the male appurtenance, and YANKEE is self-explanatory.Parenthetically I might add that I live in a Revolutionary War Zone. General Nathanial Greene's home was 100 yards away from one of our former residences, The Kentish Guards, now a group that reenacts the war, has its original charter from the war and possesses a library of absolutely mind blowing documents. (For that matter, virtually all of our small, independent libraries dating from revolutionary days, possess mind blowing documents and memorabilia) There is another parallel militia in Newport. The GASPEE incident, the destruction of HMS ROSE, occurred not twenty minutes from where I sit. A replica of the HMS ROSE sails Narragansett Bay to this day, and the GASPEE incident, actually the first colonial revolutionary act against Britain, is memorialized in place names like Gaspee Plateau, Gaspee Point, Gaspee light, etc. (We take our Revolution seriously here!) The Old Post Road is one long string of WASHINGTON SLEPT HERE inns.There is much more, but I've limited myself to these two particularly egregious incidents. Given the disregard for truth exhibited in these two incidents, how can I trust anything else the author might have to say?Maranatha,BobLink to Gaspee affair: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaspee
