Alexander
Hamilton, 1755-1804. American politician.
His father was the laird (owner) of Cambuskeith in Ayrshire, Scotland and
his mother was Rachel Fawcett Lavine, the daughter of a French Huguenot
(a French Protestant of the
16th and 17th centuries) physician.
Being from a poor family, Alexander
Hamilton at the age of 11 went to work, becoming a clerk in the countinghouse
of two New York merchants who had recently established themselves at Saint
Croix (an island of the U.S. Virgin Islands in the West Indies east of
Puerto Rico). Alexander Hamilton became a New York delegate to the Constitutional
Convention (1787), major author of the Federalist papers and the first
U.S. secretary of the treasury (1789-1795). A quote of his."The
fabric of the American Empire ought to rest on the Solid Basis of the CONSENT
OF THE PEOPLE.".He
established the national bank and a public credit system.
Hamilton was mortally wounded in
a duel with his political rival Aaron Burr, third
vice president of the United States (1801–05), who killed Alexander Hamilton
in a duel (1804). Burr's turbulent political career ended with his arrest
for treason in 1807. Prior to that in 1782, Burr was admitted to the New
York state BAR. In February
1804 Burr's friends in the New York legislature nominated him for the governorship.
Arrest warrants were issued for Burr, whom many now viewed as a murderer
and he fled to Philadelphia, where he contacted his friend General James
Wilkinson, a United States Army officer secretly in the pay of Spain. Expecting
war to break out between the United States and Spain over boundary disputes
(do we see a typical satanic cabal
communist trick, that of causing division to divide and conquer, like the
cabal does everywhere it can in society, even today). Wilkinson and Burr
planned an invasion of Mexico in order to establish an independent government
there. Possibly—the record is inconclusive—they also discussed a plan to
foment a secessionist movement in the West and, joining it to Mexico, to
found an empire on the Napoleonic model. In any event, Wilkinson became
alarmed and betrayed Burr to President Jefferson. Trying to escape to Spanish
territory, Burr was arrested and returned for trial in the Circuit Court
in Richmond, Virginia (May 1807), before Chief Justice John Marshall.
Although the evidence showed only
that Burr had planned an illegal attack upon Spanish territory, he was
tried for treason and though he was acquitted, he remained under a cloud
of suspicion and distrust. He soon left for Europe, where he tried in vain
to enlist the aid of Napoleon in a plan to conquer Florida.
Burr remained abroad for four years, living
in customary indebtedness. He returned to New York in 1812 and practiced
law. He married a wealthy widow, Elizabeth Brown Jumel in 1833, though
he frittered away much of her wealth within a year. Eventually she sued
for divorce on grounds of adultery and a divorce decree was granted on
the day Burr died in 1836.

Hutterite.noun,.plural.Hutterites
originally from Austria and South Germany, whose members found refuge
from persecution in Moravia (map).
It stressed community of goods on the model of the primitive church in
Jerusalem. The community, which acquired the name of its charismatic leader,
Jakob Hutter (tortured and burned as a heretic in 1536), still survives,
mostly in the western sections of the United States and Canada and has
a population of about 20,000. In colonies of 60 to 150 individuals, they
operate collective farms (called Bruderhof) and not unlike the Old Order
Amish,
remain aloof from outside society,
taking no part in politics. Children are educated inside the colony until
age 14 or until a minimum age decreed by state or province.
Persecutions drove the Hutterites to Hungary and Ukraine
in the 17th century and to South Dakota U.S. in the 1870s; during World
War I, because of persecution inspired by their pacifism,
they migrated to Canada. After the war many returned to the United States.
Their high annual birth rate (45.9 per 1,000) has necessitated new colonies..comprised

Paul Harvey was also a news columnist and was in the Army Air Corps in
1944. Paul and his sister were brought up by their mother after their father
was shot to death under uncertain circumstances. Working for the American
Broadcasting Company (ABC), the show Paul Harvey News and Comment
proved popular in Chicago and went national in 1951. In 1976 the program
spun off The Rest of the Story, about brief biographical narratives
written by the Harveys' only child, Paul Harvey Aurandt, Jr. With this
he reached 24 million listeners via 1,600 radio stations daily. His voice
was one of the most recognizable in the history of radio. Harvey voiced
his opinions on taxes, bloated government and the decay of American values.
Apart from his radio
work, Harvey regularly appeared as a television and newspaper commentator
and published several books, including Remember These Things (1952),
Autumn
of Liberty (1954), You Said It, Paul Harvey (1970) and For
What It's Worth (1991). Harvey returned to the airwaves in late August
2001. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005.
Videos have been made of
his presentations, one of which is If I Were the Devil. Search on
