It is not a secret that many United States Presidents are related to each other, and many of them are related to the Merovingian bloodline. Here are the facts. John Adams and John Quincy Adams are father and son respectively. William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison are grandfather and grandson respectively. George H.W. Bush is the father of George W. Bush. Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt are fifth cousins. James Madison and Zachary Taylor are 2nd cousins, Martin Van Buren and Theodore Roosevelt are third cousins three times removed, and James Madison plus Barack Obama are third cousins (nine times removed). Millard Fillmore and Ulysses Grant are 7th cousins. Warren Harding and Richard Nixon are 9th cousins. Herbert Hoover and George H. W. Bush are 10th cousins. Even Barack Obama and George W. Bush are distantly related. As a review, the Merovingian bloodline descended from the Germanic Frankish Kings that has existed over 1,000 years ago. The old blasphemy and lie is that the Merovingian people were created by Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. Now, Charlemagne was a Merovingian King. His descendant was King William I, King of England (1027-1087). William I was the duke of Normandy before he was King. He was called William I the Conqueror, because he invaded England in 1066. He defeated the Anglo-Saxon forces of Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings. This was the Norman Conquest where English revolts were suppressed. William I’s great grandson was Henry II (King of England). He lived from 1133-1189. Another of William I’s descendant is Queen Elizabeth II (b. 1926). Therefore, these European Merovingian Royals are related to many American Presidents and other corporate leaders. Barack Obama has an ancestor who is King Henry II of England. Obama is a 7th cousin four times removed of renowned artist Georgia O’Keefe, and his eighth cousin once removed, Elizabeth H. Richardson, was married to novelist Ernest M. Hemingway. Another relative is Gordon B. Hinkley, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. George Washington’s ancestry came from England. George Washington's great-great-grandfather Lawrence Washington earned a college education in England and began serving as a reverend in Essex in 1633 until the fighting of the English Civil War began. Lawrence Washington’s son John Washington immigrated to the colonies after the death of his father. John Washington (he married Anne Pope) was the great grandfather of George Washington. George Washington (of the Merovingian bloodline too) was a Freemason, a slave owner, and a member of the Society of Cincinnati.
By the 1950’s, the Cold War greatly intensified. On January 5, 1950, the UK recognized China. China severed diplomatic relations with the UK. China recognized Vietnam as an independent state from France. The last Kuomintang soldiers surrendered on continental China on January 21, 1950. President Truman said that America will develop the hydrogen bomb on January 31, 1950. This bomb was much more powerful than the atomic bomb. The Soviet Union opened diplomatic relationships with Indonesia. It was sent via a telegram reply from former Indonesian Vice President, Mohammad Hatta, to the telegram of Soviet Union’s Foreign Minister Andrey Vyshinsky on February 3, 1950. The Soviets and China ally to sign a pact of mutual defense on February 12, 1950. Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-Shek moved to Taipei, Taiwan after the end of the Chinese Civil War. Taiwan is the new nation of a more capitalist nature. This was on March 11. Containment is the cornerstone of United States Cold War foreign policy via NSC 68 via the U.S. State Department Director of Policy Planning Paul Nitze. The European Community is promoted by Robert Schuman via the Schuman Declaration on May 11, 1950. On June 25, 1950, the Cold War would change forever. This was when the Korean War started. North Korea invaded South Korea over the debate on whether the peninsula of Korea would be dominated either by Communism or Western capitalism. During World War II, the Japanese Empire conquered Korea until the end of that war. By 1948, North Korea and South Korea existed. South Korea was controlled by Syngman Rhee. Tensions rose long years before 1950 too. To understand the Korean War is to understand what the Vietnam War was like. The Korean War was a prelude to American involvement in the Vietnam War, because wars involve debates, ideological disagreements, the role of governmental power, war crimes, and stages of the conflict. It lasted from 1950 to 1953. By June of 1950, the United Nations used its powers to allow NATO to intervene in the Korean peninsula. The Korean War is not known very much, but it was a brutal war. Many infrastructures in the peninsula were destroyed. Curtis Le May was involved in the mass bombings of Korea. Between 1-3 million Korean civilians died in the Korean War. Both sides enacted war crimes in the conflict. You have to look at the conflict chronologically too in order to see the truth. After North Korea crossed the 38th parallel, the war was on. The Soviet Union gave North Korea weapons like tanks, etc. 90,000 North Korean troops (led by Kim Il-sung) easily overran the capital of Seoul. The South Korean Army was retreating at first. If nothing was done, North Korea would dominate the whole peninsula. Rhee appealed to the United States to help South Korea. Harry Truman acted. America had an integrated military force at this time. So, white people, black people, and other Americans worked side by side in this war. Truman called on the United Nations to promote his military response. The Soviet Union wasn’t present for the votes which it could use its veto power to stop the call for an intervention. The Soviet Union boycotted the United Nations at the time, because China wasn’t seated at the UN. Truman used the UN resolution and not a Congressional authorization to intervene in the Korean War. Truman deployed troops from Japan to South Korea. The problem was that many of these soldiers didn’t have a lot of combat readiness for the Korean environment. The terrain is different. They joined the South Koreans and fled too. On July 4, 1950, UN forces engaged North Korean forces for the first time in Osan. They fail to stop the North Korean advance. They gathered at Pusan or a South Korean city. The Allied forces held fast. New supplies and troops helped the American plus the South Korean forces. By September 1950, the UN counterattack existed. The United Nations included forces from South Korea, America, Britain, Turkey, Canada, Australia, France, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Belgium, New Zealand, and other nations. General Douglas MacArthur had a bold plan to drive out the North Koreans. He said that the supplies were low from North Korea, because they had a rapid advance. General MacArthur wanted to use a surprise attack on the port city of Inchon behind enemy lines. Inchon was a port or landing site, so he thought that the North Koreans wouldn’t know that such an attack was coming.
General MacArthur was successful. By September 15, 1950, U.S. Marines landed at Inchon. They attacked into the rear guard of North Koreans. Communist forces retreated into North Korea. The 38th parallel was the border. Americans debated on what to do next. Some wanted to end the war citing that the UN mandate fulfilled its purpose. Some like General MacArthur wanted to go forward into North Korea. Truman didn’t want this, because he felt that China would get involved and WWIII could happen. China didn’t want American forces to go near their border. MacArthur ignored China’s warning. He believed that China wouldn’t intervene in the war. Also, Taiwan was ready to invade China, but Truman didn't want that to happen. Truman ordered America's Seventh Fleet to not help Taiwan possibly invade China. MacArthur attacked north of the 38th parallel by October 2, 1950. North Korea had mountains and the weather was cold. UN forces conquer the capital of North Korea or Pyongyang on October 22, 1950. By Thanksgiving of 1950, U.S. forces were near the Chinese border at the Yalu River. By November 25, 1950, about 500,000 Chinese soldiers attacked American and South Korean forces. China was in the war. Chinese soldiers capture Seoul on January 4th, 1951. The United Nations used forces to recapture Seoul during Operation Ripper on March 14, 1951. Allied forces retreated being outnumbered. MacArthur wanted to invade China, which was ludicrous. Truman was angry at MacArthur, so he fired him for insubordination on April 11, 1951. Also, MacArthur wrote a letter to the House criticizing Truman, because MacArthur opposed a limited war. While MacArthur was hailed as a hero in America, the Korean War continued. Gen. Stratemeyer, General Matt Clark, and General Douglas MacArthur accused the government of preventing them from bombing bridges and supplies in fighting the Chinese military. MacArthur would be replaced by the CFR member General Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway. It would end in a stalemate. Spring 1951 was when Allied forces re-grouped and stabilized their position near the 38th parallel. October 10, 1951 was when President Harry S. Truman signed the Mutual Security Act that announced to the world that communist powers will be opposed by U.S. aided to in their minds to promote “free peoples.” Diplomats had a peace strategy. Dwight D. Eisenhower won the 1952 election in part of because of the stalemate of the war. Eisenhower studied the war and formed a peace deal. The ceasefire came on July 27, 1953 after Stalin died. The end of the Korean would start the Eisenhower era of Cold War history. Eisenhower was not soft on his views as some people think. He was just as imperial as other Presidents. He was more sophisticated about his actions.
William Monroe Trotter worked in the upper echelons of African American society in Boston. Many people in that world had ancestors free before the American Civil War. He belonged to an exclusive literary society that met at the home of Cambridge educator Maria Baldwin. On June 27, 1899, Trotter married Geraldine Louise (“Deenie”) Pindell (1872-1918). She was part of an activist family too. He had known her since childhood. She assisted him throughout his career until her death in the 1918 flu pandemic. The couple had no children, but they loved each other a great deal.
Trotter worked in many jobs. He worked in banking and real estate. Yet, he did clerk work. By 1898, he worked at a white owned real estate firm. He started to open his own business to sell insurance and brokering mortgages. He was not active in fighting for civil rights in the early years. Yet, he had strong views on promotion racial equality. This is evident in an 1899 paper in which he called on African Americans to seek admission to institutions of higher learning. Back in the day, many people wanted African Americans to not have higher education but only go into industrial training programs. There is nothing wrong with industrial work, but black people are diverse. Trotter's business was successful. He was able to purchase investment properties. He disagreed with the accomodationist policies of Booker T. Washington, who was the leading founder of the Tuskegee Institute back in the 1890’s. Washington's policies were enshrined in the Atlanta Compromise, outlined in an 1895 speech he gave in Atlanta, Georgia. He said that Southern African Americans should not agitate for political rights (such as the right to vote and equal treatment under the law) as long as they were provided economic opportunities and basic rights of due process. Washington actively promoted the idea that African Americans, once they had proven themselves as productive members of society, would be granted full political rights. Trotter, Grimké, W. E. B. Du Bois, and other northern radicals disagreed with these ideas, arguing that it was necessary for African Americans to agitate for equal treatment and full constitutional rights, because doing so would bring other benefits. Even though I disagree with Booker T. Washington on the Atlanta Compromise speech and his capitalist views, I don’t view him as a traitor. He was a man whose immediate ancestors were slaves. I felt that he sincerely believed that his views were the best policy for his view. Booker T. Washington wasn't wrong in everything that he has said. He was right to advocate farming, industrial work, and economic development. Likewise, we can do these things and agitate for political and social justice at the same time. Also, Booker T. Washington became more militant just before his death by funding anti-Jim Crow efforts. By the turn of the century, African Americans in the South had been effectively disfranchised by violence around elections, and restrictions in voting registration rules, and, finally, constitutional amendments or new constitutions in southern states. Trotter believed that Washington’s view was leading to an increase of racism in Boston. "The conviction grew upon me", he wrote, that his business successes could be endangered "if race prejudice and persecution and public discrimination from mere color was to spread up from the South and result in a fixed caste of color.”
Car payments are common things. People pay for maintenance, inspections, loans, and other matters. There are definitions that relate to automotive finance that many folks ought to know. Amortization means that it is the repayment of a loan by installments with regular payments to cover the principal and interest. An amortization table shows the amount of a principal and interest due at regular payment intervals and the corresponding unpaid balance of the loan after each payment. The amortization term is the amount of time required to amortize the loan. The amortization term is expressed as a number of months. For example, a 3 year fixed rate loan, the amortization term is 36 term. Individuals submit their applications that deal with an initial written statement of personal and financial information required for an evaluation of creditworthiness. An asset is anything of monetary value that is owned by a person. Assets include real property, personal property, and enforceable claims against others (like bank accounts, stocks, mutual funds, and so forth). The certificate of title is a document that is issued by a state to provide evidence of motor vehicle ownership and any lien holder’s security interest. The loan term is the length of the loan, broken down into months. MSRP is the manufacturer’s suggested retail price or the auto sales price suggested by the manufacturer. The principal of the amount of the auto loan without the interest factored in. The amount you are financing and will be paying interest on is the principal. The VIN is the vehicle identification number. It is an individual serial number assigned by the manufacturer to a motor vehicle. The alphanumeric number consists of seventeen (17) digits is located on the auto's dashboard and visible through the windshield. The warranty is a guarantee from the dealer or manufacturer that an auto (item) will perform as expected or specified. Warranties usually cover specific mechanical problems for a specific number of miles or amount of time. The wholesale book value is amount the dealership usually pays for a used auto in markets other than retail, typically auctions and broker transactions.
