"Here was buried Edward Greville formerly lord of Milcot, who yielded to his destiny on the eve of Christmas Day, in the 59th year of human safety above one thousand five hundred, Elizabeth then being the most serene ruler over the English, already in her second year"

He was buried in "St Anne's chappell alongside his father, his effigy brass which has miraculously escaped where his shields and inscription are lost, now lies on the chancel floor

Sir Edward Greville 1559 was the only son of Sir John Grenville 1546 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/t224Z8 & 2nd wife Elizabeth daughter of John Spencer of Hodnet

+++ Ludovic Grevill in 1567 obtained a royal licence to build and embattle a new house at Milcote and to call it Mountgrevell which he began but never completed, and it was possibly to obtain funds for this purpose that he caused 2 of his servants to murder a wealthy tenant Richard Webb of Drayton, and forged his will leaving his lands to himself. One of the murderers Thomas Brocke, babbling in his cups, was removed, but Grevill was arrested for this second murder in 1589 and Webb's widow who had already claimed the lands in Drayton, now charged Ludovic with the murder of her husband When he was brought to trial he refused to plead and was therefore 'pressed' to death on 14 November 1589, (his refusing to plead saved his estates from forfeiture)

Milcote passed to his son Edward on whom it had been settled on his marriage with Joan daughter of Lord Chancellor Sir Thomas Bromley 1587 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/54N89i & Elizabeth Fortescue. - Edward had become heir after accidentally fatally shooting his elder brother, unscrupulous like his father, he nonetheless apparently possessed a great deal of charm, after his marriage in 1583, he spent his wife’s fortune, leaving her with little more than the clothes on her back. Edward & Joan's only son died without heirs in his father's lifetime leaving his father with his 5 sisters and many debts.. This branch of the Grevilles became extinct and in 1622 the 3rd daughter Mary & husband Sir Arthur Ingram conveyed Milcote to Lionel, Lord Cranfield, afterwards Earl of Middlesex.

A 2004 Nissan 350Z, courtesy of BC's Civil Forfeiture Office (CFO), was unveiled at the RCMP headquarters in Kelowna to help officers spread the message that gang life is a dead end. The vehicle, which was previously involved in criminal activity, has been "wrapped" with messaging and graphics that highlight the dangers of gang life, organized crime and the drug trade. This rolling public service message will be seen driving around Kelowna for the next two years making stops at festivals, beaches, parades and events throughout the summer and all year long.

John Joseph Goldsbrough (jnr)

WW1 enlistment: August 1915

Address at birth is given as Glebe, the same suburb as the Higgs and John (snr) his father, who by now resides at 24 Clanalpine Street Eastwood.

Dissidence: A Goldsbrough tradition!

John an Engineer, arriving in England from Egypt was posted to strength for the 56th Battalion on 19th February 1916. We can find no legible entry to identify in what capacity he was posted to the 56th, or which Infantry Company. Later in his service history, was attached to the AASC as a driver.

L/Cpl John Joseph Goldsbrough, first cousin to Hector and Roy also felt the weight of Military justice, although penance dealt for his transgression was served on British soil.

John was posted to the 56th Battalion on the 19th of February 1916 and saw action in the battle for Fromelles, 19-20th of July. He was, on the 29th of July in the aftermath, diagnosed as suffering from "shell-shock" and concussion was retired to England for medical treatment.

We find John recuperating in an English hospital after being ferried across The Channel from Calais - France. Looks like John spends a bit of time in England after recovering, however........he then goes missing, AWL. In early March some five weeks later, he was arrested in London.

So......…while John was appearing before the hearing of his Court-Marshal, across the channel, back in the trenches of the Western Front, 56th battalion with Hector and Roy of "A" -Coy were preparing for the attack on Louverval 3 days hence in the lead up to the Bullecourt offensives where they were to breath their last. He would never meet up with his cousins again.

Whilst John missed out on the subsequent Battles of Bullecourt, twelve months later he was to find himself in the thick of it all, with the Battalion on the April 25th 1918 for AIF offensives at Villers Bretonneux where he was both wounded and gassed. His service records verify a detachment to the 14th Field Coy Engineers immediately prior to the Villers Bretonneux battles. There is no indication this unit operated conjointly with his parent 56th Battalion during the action, further research may confirm otherwise.

These dresses were seized by the U.S. Marshals Service in connection with the criminal conviction of an Upper Marlboro, Maryland, woman who had embezzled more than $5 million from her employer in order to, among other things, keep her wedding boutique afloat. She funneled about $1.8 million of the stolen funds into her store. Net proceeds from this sale of bridal dresses and other wedding-related goods from the Couture Miss shop will go back to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the non-profit that employed Ephonia Green.

Tomb of Archibald Campbell - St Giles Cathedral

Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquess of Argyll, 8th Earl of Argyll, chief of Clan Campbell, (March 1607 – 27 May 1661) was the de facto head of government in Scotland during most of the conflict known as the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, also known as the British Civil War. He was a major figure in the Covenanter movement that fought for the Presbyterian religion and what they saw as Scottish interests during the English Civil War of the 1640s and 1650s. He is often remembered as the arch-enemy of the royalist general James Graham, 1st Marquis of Montrose.

Archibald Campbell was born around 1605 at Inveraray, and sadly his mother died shortly afterwards. In 1618 his father remarried and became a Catholic and left his estates, then in a precarious financial state, to his young son. Archibald had a classical education at St Andrew’s University and was an authoritative and dynamic man who had strong beliefs and gained respect from his clan as he worked to restore their wealth and power. Archibald succeeded his father and became 8th Earl in 1638 and he signed the National Covenant in the same year.

The Earl was a leader of the Covenanting movement which defended the national Protestant religion and, always courageous, he warned Charles against his attempts to make Scotland a Catholic country again. The king consequently devised a plan to stir up the MacDonalds who supported Catholicism, and were bitter Campbell rivals. He was afraid of the power of the Campbells. The bloody civil war which raged in Scotland gave the MacDonalds, who had suffered greatly at Campbell hands, an opportunity to exact revenge. Other forces were gathering against the Earl, who by that time had such authority in Scotland that he was known as “King Campbell”. Powerful men like the Marquess of Montrose were suspicious of Argyll’s long term political plans, and they gave their support to King Charles, raising a large Royalist army.

Montrose and his followers prospered, and as a consequence Argyll suffered at the beginning of 1645 when Montrose captured the Campbell family seat at Inveraray, then inflicted a major defeat at Inverlochy when he lost only a few of his men but killed 1500 Campbells. The Earl escaped both conflicts, leaving the survivors to their fates. Argyll secured his revenge at Philiphaugh in September when Montrose’s Royalist force was utterly destroyed and the MacDonald prisoners were slaughtered by the Covenanters.

Always with an eye to backing the winning horse, after supporting the Covenanter-Parliamentary cause throughout much of the 1640s, after the execution of Charles lst, Archibald Campbell swung his support behind his heir and he invited the young man to Scotland. Argyll hoped that he would sign the Covenant to gain the Scottish throne. At the coronation at Scone, Argyll was the man who placed the crown on Charles’ head. No doubt he anticipated rewards for himself and the Campbell family, and there were even rumours that the king would marry Argyll’s own daughter.

Charles II planned to invade England and Argyll retreated to Inveraray, but again changing sides to join Cromwell. Charles would never forgive him, and, to make things worse, Argyll’s son Lorne became a committed Royalist. At Inveraray, Argyll tried to remove himself from the conflict and lived quietly but he was in deep financial trouble because of the expenses of his military efforts and was imprisoned for some time.

After being defeated by the Parliamentarians Charles was restored in 1660 and despite being advised against it, Argyll travelled to London to seek reconciliation with the king. Charles was quick to have him arrested and sent to the Tower before he was transported to Edinburgh for trial as a traitor. There were various charges of treason against Argyll, and while most of them were satisfactorily answered, new evidence that he had collaborated with Cromwell led to the sentence of forfeiture of his titles and lands, and execution. His enemies wanted him dead as soon as possible, and he was executed by the “Maiden” at Edinburgh Tollbooth.

Campbell's head was fixed to the same spike which had borne the head of his old enemy the Marquess of Montrose 11 years before.

A deeply religious man, Archibald Campbell faced death calmly and with courage, impressing everyone. The Covenanters declared him a martyr and his final speech, despite efforts to suppress it, was printed and widely circulated. His body was eventually taken to Kilmun for burial, and some time later his son, the 9th Earl of Argyll, claimed his head to take it there as well.

When restoration work to the mausoleum took place in the 1890s, in a velvet covered coffin, a skull was found which showed evidence that it may have belonged to the first and only Marquess of Argyll

The opening of British Columbia’s ninth provincially funded domestic

violence unit (DVU) in Prince George means local women and children in the highest-risk cases of domestic violence will have a dedicated, integrated team focused on their protection and transition to safety.

The Prince George team will include an RCMP officer dedicated to domestic violence cases, a community-based victim service worker and an embedded child protection worker.

The new unit received a $100,000 civil forfeiture grant in March toward its establishment.

This is a charter in Latin by Thomas Grelle, the Lord of Manchester, to his Burgesses, in 1301. It sets out how taxation, debt, criminal justice and markets functioned in the town at that time. Burgesses were freemen of the town, while the reeve was a local official.

Transcription from Latin:

Know men, present and to come, that I, Thomas Grelle, have given, and granted, and by this, my present charter, have confirmed, to all my Burgesses of Mamecestre:

To wit:

1st. That all the Burgesses shall pay, for every one of their Burgages, twelve pence a year, in lieu of all service.

2nd. And, if the Reeve of the Town shall bind over any Burgess to answer upon any action, and the person so bound shall not come into the Laghmot at the day, or any one for him, he forfeits twelve pence to the aforesaid Lord; and the aforesaid Lord may have his action against him in the Porteman-mot.

3rd. Likewise, if any Burgess shall implead any Burgess for any debt, and he the latter shall acknowledge the debt, let the Reeve fix him a day, to wit, the eighth; and if he shall not come at the day, let him pay twelve pence for forfeiture of the day to the aforesaid Lord, and let him pay the debt and eight pence to the Reeve.

4th. And, if any one sets up a claim to any thing, and shall not find Surety and Bondsmen, and is then willing to withdraw his claim, he shall not incur a forfeiture.

5th. Likewise, if any Burgess in the Borough shall wound any Burgess on the Lord's day, or from moon of Saturday even to Monday, he shall incur a forfeiture of twenty shillings: and if on Monday, or on any other days of the week, he shall wound any one, he shall incur a forfeiture of twelve pence to the aforesaid Lord.

6th. Likewise, if any Burgess shall contend with one, and in a passion strike him without drawing blood, and be able to return to his own house, without being bound over to answer for it by the Reeve or the servants, he shall not be impleaded by the Reeve; and if he shall be able to maintain (that is, to justify,) the assault against the person on whom he committed it, it may be properly done; but if he makes peace with him by the counsel of his friends, (that is, by the advice of his Brother Burgesses in open Court,) this also he may do without forfeiture to the Reeve.

7th. Likewise, if any one shall be impleaded in the Borough upon any action, he may not answer either a Burgess, or a Villain, or even a Vavasor, but in his own Porteman-mot, except in action that relates to the King's crown, and in one for Larceny.

8th. Likewise, if any one challenges any Burgess for Larceny, the Reeve attaches him (the latter) to answer in the Lord's Court, and to stand to its judgment.

9th. Likewise, if any one shall be impleaded of his neighbour, or any one else, and shall have attended three days (in court), if he shall have Testimony from the Reeve, and from his neighbours of the Prtman-mot, that his adversary hath defaulted, (that is, hath failed to attend and implead,) for these three days he may afterwards put in no answer to him upon that plea.

10th. Likewise, the aforesaid Burgesses shall do suit to the Mill of the aforesaid Lord, and to his Bake-house, by making the customary payments to the aforesaid Mill and the aforesaid Bake-house as they ought and are used to do.

11th. Likewise, the Burgesses ought, and have power, to elect a Reeve out of themselves when they shall think proper, and to remove the Reeve.

15th. Likewise, every one can sell either a larger or smaller part, or the whole, of his Land of Inheritance, with the consent of his Heir; and if the Heir shall happen to be unwilling, yet, if he (the Proprietor) shall have fallen into distresses, it shall be lawful for him to sell off his Land of Inheritance whatever be the age of the Heir.

16th. Likewise, the Reeve ought to give every Burgess and the Renters possession of his proper Stall in the Market-place; and the Reeve ought to receive for the act one penny to the use of the aforesaid Lord.

17th. Likewise, if a Burgess or a Renter shall have a mind to stand in the Stalls of the Merchants, he ought to pay as much (annually) as a stranger to the aforesaid Lord; and if he stands in his proper Stall, then he is to give nothing (annually) to the aforesaid Lord.

19th. Likewise, if any one shall be impleaded before the days of the Laghmote, and shall then come (into court), it behoves him to put in an answer (to the charge), and he ought not to essoin himself, (that is, excuse or defer to do it,) without forfeiting; and if he shall then be impleaded for the first time, (that is, if the action did not commence till the day of the Laghmot,) he shall then have the first day (allowed him before he needs to put in his answer).

20th. Likewise, the Burgesses may arrest men, whether Knights, or Priests, or Clerks, for their debts, if they shall be found in the Borough.

21st. Likewise, if any one is obliged by his distresses to sell his Burgage, he may receive another Burgage from his neighbour, and every Burgess may give possession of his Burgage to his neighbour by the view of his fellow Burgesses (that is, in the Borough Court, and before the members of it).

22nd. Likewise, it may be lawful for the aforesaid Burgesses to give possession of their own proper Chattels to whomsoever they will, within the Fee of the aforesaid Lord, freely, without a license from the aforesaid Lord.

23rd. Likewise, if a Burgess shall lend any thing to a Villain man in the Borough, and the time (appointed for re-payment) shall be gone by in the Borough, he may take distress upon the Gods of the Villain, and by his distress certify the Villain (of the time being elapsed), and restore him the Goods distressed, on the security of Bondsmen, even for the time of eight days, and then let the Bondsmen return to either the distress or money.

The Morris-Jumel Mansion was built in 1765 as a summer house by Colonel Roger Morris for his wife, Mary Philipse and their family on approximately 135 acres of land that stretched from the Harlem to Hudson rivers between what is now 140th and approximately 18oth streets. Their country estate was named Mount Morris and, being situated on one of the highest points of Manhattan, offered clear views of New Jersey, Connecticut, and all of New York harbor. In addition to serving as a summer retreat, Mount Morris was also a working farm with fruit trees, cows, and sheep in addition to a variety of crops.

With the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, the Morris family abandoned their summer home. Then, in the autumn of 1776, General George Washington and his Patriot officers moved in and made the house their headquarters from September 14th to October 21st. The superb views from Mount Morris made the location ideal for observing troop movements and General Washington used this advantage to plan his army’s first successful victory; the Battle of Harlem Heights. Despite this victory, on October 21st, General Washington was forced to retreat to White Plains. For the remainder of the war, the house was used as a headquarters for both British and Hessian armies.

Following the war, the estate was confiscated under the Forfeiture Laws by the State of New York and sold to cover war debts. For a time, it served as a tavern; however, after some years, the tavern became unsuccessful and the house was abandoned once again. Then on July 10th of 1790, now President George Washington held his first Cabinet dinner at the same place he scored his first victory during the Revolutionary War. n 1810, Eliza and Stephen Jumel purchased Mount Morris, all farmlands, and began a series of alterations to the house. A merchant from the south of France, who emigrated to New York some years earlier, Stephen met and married Eliza Bowen in New York. She grew up in a poor Rhode Island family, a voracious reader and self-educated, she developed into a shrewd businesswoman long before most women worked outside the home, let alone ran businesses. At a moment when Stephen's business was foundering, Eliza applied herself to the real estate trade, buying and selling land and renting properties downtown. Her success made large profits for her husband and herself, making her one of the wealthiest women in New York, after Stephen’s death.

By the 1880s, most of the Jumel land had been sold as the city expanded and fashionable townhouses rose immediately surrounding the Mansion. The City of New York purchased the house and the two acres it sits on creating Roger Morris Park. With the assistance of the DAR, the Mansion was turned into a historic house and museum. The mid-20th Century saw the neighborhood develop into a vibrant home to many artists and celebrities including Paul Robeson, Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, and Duke Ellington, who once referred to the Morris-Jumel Mansion as “the jewel in the crown of Sugar Hill.” The buildings in this district are protected by the New York Landmarks Commission and must be maintained by their owners reflective of when they were built. Because of this, the appearance of the neighborhood has changed very little since the beginning of the twentieth century.

Today, the Morris-Jumel Mansion is the oldest house in Manhattan and as a museum highlights the art, architecture and lives of the Morris and Jumel families, while celebrating the changing landscape from the now lost Polo Grounds to the contemporary artists who find inspiration from this over 250 year old structure, and culture. We hope to see you soon to experience all that is new at Manhattan’s oldest house.

"As Manhattan’s oldest residence, the Morris-Jumel Mansion Museum presents American life from the colonial era to the present by preserving, collecting, and interpreting history, culture, and the arts to engage and inspire diverse audiences.

Morris-Jumel Mansion, Inc. operates the Morris -Jumel Mansion as a historic house museum and thereby seeks to preserve and interpret Manhattan’s oldest residence, one that has witnessed the evolution of northern Manhattan from rural countryside to a dynamic multicultural community. Through historic site tours and education programs, the museum interprets the mansion in the context of domestic life in New York City from 1765 until 1865, the influx of European immigrants to Washington Heights in the late 1800’s, the City Beautiful movement at the turn of the century, the life of the Jumel Terrace Historic District, and more recent immigration. Morris-Jumel Mansion seeks to serve as a cultural resource for an audience of national and international visitors and, in particular, the diverse audiences of the City of New York."

One of the most important issues that President Trump needs to address is the astronomical financial costs of the U.S. Intelligence Community and the security of the American people. The fact that many of the directors of the 17 branches of intelligence have little or no experience in intelligence is of concern.

The “intelligence community” is a runaway train, an avalanche of over indulgence that runs itself, regardless of who is posturing as its director. This so called “community” is at the very heart of the deep state.

The spy industry is drowning in data. In this case less is more. What I mean by that is that gathering intelligence is the primary concern of all U.S spy agencies. In times past, most Intel was gathered by case officers and their informants. It was the job of the case officer to determine if information any informant offered was of any value.

Based on the particular operational needs, the case officer would send the best Intel up through his chain of command to be further gleaned and graded. But with the advances in technology, the powers that be decided that it would be better to gather all the information, all of the time, from all available sources in a continuous nonstop feeding frenzy. The weak link in this model is that the ability of any of the spy agencies to analyze the billions of bits of data is a tiny fraction of what it collects. Picture if you will a football field filled from the grass to the tallest seats with documents of every conceivable subject all to be read and reported on by only one single person! You get the picture.

In 2005, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was created to coordinate the various agencies and their vast collection of information. The ODNI started out with roughly 12 employees but has since expanded to over 1,700. The problem is that the ODNI has no legal or budget authority over the agencies it supervises. Those agencies largely ignore the ODNI yet each year the ODNI is granted more and more money without having to show any sizable results. It’s not just the ODNI.

Since 9/11 the American taxpayers have shelled out over $500 billion to 17 agencies for the purpose of making this country safe. Is it safe? The U.S. Intelligence budget has two major components: The National Intelligence Program (NIP) and the Military Intelligence Program (MIP).

The NIP encompasses all the non-military intelligence gathering agencies. The MIP includes the agencies under military and Department of Defense in support of military operations. Together the MIP and NIP make up the 17 spy agencies under the “direction” of the ODNI. Here’s who they are. The following are NIP:

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). They collect and coordinate Intel sharing among all the other agencies.

Central Intelligence Agency. Spying on foreign governments and conducting covert operations including assassination, overthrowing foreign governments and furthering the ideals of democracy.

National Security Agency. Stands for “No Such Agency. It focuses on gathering signal and other electronic information. The NSA monitors, collects and processes every single phone call, every text message, and every email, radio broadcast both foreign and domestic. Every day the NSA collects and stores 1.7 billion emails, phone calls and all other types of communication including internet, social media, private corporation, and secret diplomatic government communications. The NSA separates this data into 70 separate databases.

Defense Intelligence Agency. This is the Pentagon’s top spy agency and is responsible for collecting and analyzing intel on foreign militaries.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation. Its job has law enforcement and intelligence functions including fighting terrorism, cyber attacks and espionage.

Department of State- Bureau of Intelligence and Research. Their job is to collect and analyze Intel on global affairs for the secretary of state and other diplomats. Among its objectives are weapons proliferation, human trafficking, and drug smuggling.

Department of Homeland Security- Office of Intelligence and Analysis. These guys are the hated airport security guards that make you take off your shoes and belt. They deal with border issues, transportation security and bio defense.

Drug Enforcement Administration- Office of National Security Intelligence. They are responsible for monitoring and seizing illegal drugs and the forfeiture of assets.

Department of the Treasury- Office of Intelligence and Analysis. They work to stop money laundering of terrorist, drug kingpins, weapons dealers and international criminals.

Department of Energy- Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence. These guys are in charge of providing Intel on foreign nuclear weapons, energy security, science and technology, and nuclear energy, safety and waste.

National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. The NGIA provides analysis and Intel about earth’s natural and manmade features for combat, humanitarian and disaster relief purposes. They operate the reference for the GPS system. They watch us from space.

National Reconnaissance Office. The NRO designs, builds and operates our nation’s satellites providing real time imagery, navigation and early warning of missile launches. They also watch from space. The following are MIP.

Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance. The Air Force’s intelligence branch uses airplanes, drones and satellites to identify hideouts, bunkers, mobile launchers and weapons caches. It is also responsible for code-breaking activities within the Air Force. All that surveillance takes up a lot of digital space – in 2013, alone received 20 terabytes of data daily, processed 460,000 hours of video and disseminated 2.6 million images.

Army Military Intelligence. The Army’s intelligence branch intercepts electronic communications and provides maps, ground imagery and information on foreign forces to assist fighters in the battlefield.

Office of Naval Intelligence. The Navy’s intelligence branch keeps tabs on foreign scientific and technological research, analyzes the structure, tactics and readiness of foreign naval forces, and tracks merchant shipping to identify illicit activity.

Marine Corps Intelligence. The Marine Corps’ intelligence officers create military maps, intercept and translate radio and electronic signals, analyze images collected from sensors and carry out counterintelligence.

Coast Guard Intelligence. The Coast Guard, part of the military and the Department of Homeland Security, protects and defends more than 100,000 miles of coastline and inland waterways. On an average day, the Coast Guard conducts 45 search-and-rescue cases, seizes 874 pounds of cocaine, interdicts 17 migrants and helps move $8.7 billion worth of goods.

That’s a hell of a lot of analysis and intelligence. So why is it that all of those forces and $70 billion can’t keep us informed and ahead of what’s happening in the world until after it happens? How was Russia able to invade the Ukraine or annex Crimea? How did our spy agencies fail to intercept the Boston Marathon Bomber even though his name was on several databases? How did we miss the rise of ISIS and the collapse of the Iraqi army?

The inability of U.S. intelligence agencies to gather and analyze meaningful intelligence is hampered by the billions of unimportant data obscuring the essential and crucial information. There is a darker purpose for this massive surveillance on Americans.

The Intelligence Community is not there just to protect us, but to control us. The hidden agenda of all this massive spying serves the elite powers in their quest for total domination. That’s the only reason why nothing is ever done to limit the scope of these illegal activities. Why doesn’t Congress or the Senate act to protect us? Why do they keep granting these astronomical sums of our money to agencies that show little evidence of positive results?

President Trump needs to act quickly to deflate the bloated, ineffective bodies under the ONDI. He has the power. This is a dangerous mission for Trump.

The Intelligence Community is staffed with supporters of the deep state. They won’t go down quietly. He needs to form an Open Source Intelligence Agency. He needs to cut the CIA and DIA by 50%, the NSA, NRO, and NGA by 70 % and put an end to the NSA’s massive citizen’s surveillance programs which do nothing. He needs to stop the CIA and the rest from forcing U.S. policy down the throats of foreign governments that don’t want to be subservient to American capitalist interests. Maybe the world wouldn’t hate us as much.

Think of how much money we as a nation could save. Think of how much respect we might gain. The spy agencies are a one world order for repression and control. Everything we do is being watched and monitored, sorted and cataloged.

Privacy is dead.

President Trump has endured a massive and continuing character assassination campaign. This is part of the globalist program to defeat freedom and bring on a total police state. This is the first of several articles on the Intelligence Community threat.

Before the building of St. Thomas's Tower, the tower that came to be called the Bloody Tower stood on the edge of the river and controlled the main river entrance to the Tower of London. After 1280, with the construction of the Outer Ward and the new watergate of St. Thomas's, it became the principal access from the Outer Ward to the Inner Ward.

The Bloody Tower was built in the early 1220s but the upper stage of the present tower was largely reconstructed in about 1360 durng the reign of Edward III. The vaulted gate passage beneath the tower was originally defended by two gates and two portcullises, one of each at either end. Only the portcullises and gate at the south end survive today, complete with the windlass that operates the portcullis from the first floor.

The lower chamber was built as superior accomodation, perhaps a guest room or office, for the Constable who lived nearby. Eventually this tower was to accomodate such eminent prisoners as two Archbishops of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer (in 1554-54), and William Laud (in 1640-5), and a Lord Chancellor, Judge Jeffreys (in 1688-9). Accomodation for important or high-ranking prisoners such as these, which reflected their status and enabled them to live with their families, was not uncommon.

The lower chamber is now furnished as it might have been during the 13-year imprisonment of Sir Walter Raleigh (1603-16), who was charged with plotting against King James I. During his imprisonment, Ralegh wrote The History of the World (1614) and conducted many scientific experiments. He grew tobacco and other exotic plants and produced medicinal cordials.

There have, however, been two authenticated cases of violent death within the Bloody Tower. In 1585 the 8th Earl of Northumerland shot himself to escape conviction for treason and the forfeiture of his lands to Elizabeth I. In James I's reign, in scandalous circumstances that touched the King himself, Sir Thomas Overbury was poisoned while a prisoner there.

The power and virtual independence of the Lords of the Isles eventually went to their heads and proved to be their undoing. In 1461, John of Islay, 4th and last Lord of the Isles decided that if he couldn't get what he wanted from the Scottish crown, he would negotiate with the English crown instead! He seems to have paid scant regard to how treasonable others would consider his actions to be!

John of Islay met the commissioners of King Edward IV of England here at Ardtornish and in February 1462 John's representatives concluded an agreement since known as the Treaty of Westminster-Ardtornish. It envisaged nothing less than the joint conquest and partition of Scotland. John agreed to pay homage to Edward in return for his help in obtaining all of Scotland north of the Forth! His kinsman Donald Balloch of Dunnyvaig and the Glens and the forfeited Earl of Douglas were to get the rest of the country between them. Their greed seems to have only been exceeded by their naivety and stupidity!

The treaty is a remarkably vague document considering the risks John was prepared to take, saying nothing about the nature, scale and timing of English support. For King Edward however, it was a brilliant diplomatic coup. He achieved maximum results at minimum expense, laying out only as much bait as necessary to create a political disturbance in Scotland. When it suited them, the treaty was revealed to the Scottish government by the English themselves, with the immediate result that John of Islay lost the Earldom of Ross, and the eventual result that in 1493, the Lordship of the Isles was forfeited as well.

Following their forfeiture, the lands of Ardtornish remained for a time in the hands of the Crown but were eventually given to the MacLeans of Duart, who had already acquired large tracts of land in Morvern. The castle was probably abandoned around the end of the seventeenth century, by which time Ardtornish and the other Morvern estates of the MacLeans had been devoured by - yes, you've guessed it - the Campbell Earls of Argyll!

The Governor signed the following bills today:

SB535 (Relating to Labor) makes Hawaii the second state – after New York – to place basic labor protections for domestic workers into law. It also establishes basic rights and protections for domestic workers, entitles workers to overtime pay and time for meal and rest breaks, and provides basic civil rights protections against abuse and harassment.

HB1187 (Relating to Human Trafficking) designates January as Human Trafficking Awareness Month and adds minor victims of sex and labor trafficking to the scope of the Child Protective Act and other state child abuse laws.

HB1068 (Relating to Human Trafficking) requires certain employers to display a poster that provides information relating to human trafficking and contact information for the National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline.

SB192 (Relating to Prostitution) makes solicitation of a minor a crime and increases the statute of limitations to bring a cause of action for coercion into prostitution from 2 to 6 years. It also clarifies the minimum and maximum fine for a person convicted of committing the offense of prostitution; adds the offenses of solicitation of a minor for prostitution, habitual solicitation of prostitution, and solicitation of prostitution near schools and public parks under the state’s forfeiture laws; amends the definition of “sexual offense” under the sexual offender registry laws to include acts that consist of the solicitation of a minor who is less than 18 years of age for prostitution; and requires registration with the sexual offender registry for conviction of solicitation of a minor for prostitution as a Tier 1 offense.

HB587 (Relating to the Penal Code) amends the penal code to include that it shall be unlawful to physically abuse persons in a “dating relationship.” It also requires a police officer to separate a perpetrator and family or household member who has been physically abused for 48 hours.

Kings College Chapel, Cambridge

Flemish, early 16th Century. Zaleucus was a Greek lawgiver, said to have devised the first written Greek law code, the Locrian Code. According to legends, he punished adultery with the forfeiture of sight. When his own son was condemned to this, he refused to exonerate him, instead submitting to the loss of one of his own eyes instead of exacting the full penalty from the culprit.

As well as the famous 16th Century glass in the main chapel windows, there is a large collection of late medieval and early modern English and Continental glass in the side-chapels. Some of it is not very well displayed in comparison with the similar collection at Glasgow Cathedral, being set in front of, and in some cases behind, glazing bars.

The Chapel was begun by Henry VI, completed under the direction of Henry VII, the great window glass scheme installed under the somewhat-disinterested Henry VIII. 'The heart and soul of early 20th Century Anglicanism' according to M R James, was the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols which began here during the First World War and helped to invent the modern Christmas. The fan vaulting is spectacular, the proportions (300ft long, 40ft wide, 90ft high) almost shocking in their single-minded Perpendicular triumphalism. The Chapel vies with Ely and Peterborough Cathedrals as the best single medieval building in Cambridgeshire, but the vast scheme of early 16th Century glass in the main windows is undoubtedly the biggest and best of its kind anywhere in the British Isles.

A vehicle forfeited by a convicted drug trafficker is getting a new life supporting police outreach to North Shore First Nations & Youth. West Vancouver Police Department (WVPD) has officially unveiled a Ford F-350 pick-up truck that was forfeited to the Province, then provided to serve as a support vehicle for the WVPD Ch’ich’iyuy Canoe Program.

Why Wind Power Doesn’t Live up to its Environmental Promises

from:oilprice.com

“I cannot abide the suggestion that we must sacrifice our environment in order to save it. This is an absurd argument enabling this energy imposter’s invasion of delicate habitat with little return. … Environmentalists must consider the possibility that industrial wind, by its failure to perform to stated goals, does not then qualify for this sacred consideration.”

The heavily funded and admittedly effective U.S. industrial wind lobby portrays its product as descending from old-world windmills. Close your eyes and you’ll surely imagine these magnificent machines gently turning in the breeze … each kilowatt arriving at your reading lamp courtesy of a rosy–cheeked Hummel child.

Existing solely to save the planet by generating clean, affordable and environmentally friendly electricity, you can be sure that any addition to the plant owner’s bank account is purely accidental.

Hogwash!

In reality, the U.S. industrial wind business was rescued by Ken Lay and Enron with quick, low-risk profit as its core goal. As Gabriel Alonso, chief executive of Horizon Wind Energy LLC – one of America’s biggest wind developers, often reminds his employees … their goal isn’t to stage a renewable-energy revolution … “This is about making money!”

Once a Believer

I was not always this cynical. I wanted to believe that industrial wind would replace fossil fuelled power plants and, until two years ago, defended its arrival here. Like many West Virginians, I wanted the destruction of our mountains by those who profit from the blue diamond stopped … NOW!

I believed industrial wind offered the best opportunity to accomplish that goal and, even recognizing industrial wind also consumes our forest lands, it seemed an excellent alternative to the coal industry’s horribly destructive mountaintop removal mining process.

Sadly, once the layers of woulds, coulds and shoulds were peeled back, I found industrial wind failed to keep its environmental promises. Save the canned boilerplate responses to criticisms, the wind industry offered nothing conclusive to demonstrate it would significantly reduce emissions or close fossil fuelled plants. There is no conclusive evidence that one coal plant has been closed as a direct result of the installation of tens of thousands of wind turbines. Not one! I’ve asked advocates to name one facility. Answer … zippo!

I fully expect advocates to point to many studies which validate their woulds and shoulds. But the studies they point to carry their own fair share of woulds and shoulds as well.

We’re even asked to disregard the increased emissions generated by fossil fueled plants as they inefficiently try to compensate for wind’s constant variability and accept that, on their word alone, when the wind is blowing, a coal plant, somewhere, is not running. That’s equivalent to some self-appointed Giraffe Control Officer bragging that not one has been spotted in Charleston during his watch.

Consider this measure instead. US industrial wind capacity at the end of 2010 exceeded 40,000 MW. The U.S. has some 490 coal power plants with an average size of 667 MW. A direct one-to-one trade would have closed some 60 coal plants. Again … name one!

Bringing this closer to home … Edison Mission Energy is heavily invested in Appalachian coal-fired power plants even as it grows its Appalachian wind plants. Can we expect Edison to replace its fossil plants as it opens wind plants with equivalent MW capacity? Will any of the major players holding significant interest in both fossil fueled plants and wind plants make this commitment? I suggest they will not, as long as there is profit to be made from each.

The sad truth is that industrial wind does not replace fossil-fueled electricity generators. It does not reduce emissions. It does not provide affordable, on-demand electricity. The relatively miniscule amount of electricity generated typically arrives when it’s not needed and cannot effectively be stored. Industrial wind, true to Ken Lay’s intent, is a profit center founded on favorable legislation, mandated renewable energy goals and funded by taxpayer subsidies.

Conversion Experience

I did not come to the “dark side” willingly. At the suggestion of a friend, I attended a presentation on industrial wind at which the speaker systematically destroyed any notion that industrial wind has earned a seat at the US energy table.

Expecting yet another NIMBY rant, the presenter [ed. note: John Droz Jr.] instead based his case that industrial wind is a failed technology on science alone. There was little mention of view-shed, bat/bird kills, noise or health issues, all of which I’ve since learned are serious issues in their own right. The presenter focused primarily on the poor performance and high cost of industrial wind and the fact that it could never replace current generators, my main reason for initially supporting industrial wind.

Knowing that the two key representatives of our proposed wind plant were introduced as being in the audience, I could hardly wait for the question-and-answer session. This was going to be a knock down for the ages! Just wait until they set this clown straight!

Then, the presenter wrapped up and said the magic words I’d been waiting for … Any Questions? My gladiators stood up and walked out! Not a word! No defense! How could they let this brutal attack stand?

That was my turning point. Suspicion drove me to read any article I could find about industrial wind, and the more I learned the more I disliked these monstrous contraptions which were scheduled to invade my Appalachian Mountains by the tens of thousands.

What I Have Learned

Before this event, I was willing, like many of my friends, to sacrifice a mountain view, some bats and birds and even the hard earned tax dollars these wind folks would pick from my pocket if it meant the greater good would be served.

What I learned, however, lead me to the conclusion that there is no trade.

• Coal plants will continue to exist at pre-wind levels and the mines will remain open in order to supply them.

• Emissions will not be reduced as a result of industrial wind. When asked if wind power was reducing carbon emissions, Deb Malin, a Bonneville Power Authority Representative, answered, “No. They are, in fact, creating emissions.”

• Not only will the surface destruction brought about by mountain top removal mining not be reduced as a result of wind plants, industrial wind will bring destruction well above the ground in areas not previously impacted by mountain top removal.

• The cumulative impact of long stretches of deadly 450 foot tall whirlybirds along our fragile mountain ridges will set a deadly gauntlet for many migratory species with no real benefit to show for the sacrifice.

• The arguably unnecessary remote wind installations require long runs of forest fragmenting high power lines required to bring the occasional electricity generated to a point of use.

• My picked pocket only serves to benefit the wind developers.

I cannot abide the suggestion that we must sacrifice our environment in order to save it. This is an absurd argument enabling this energy imposter’s invasion of delicate habitat with little return. Sacrifice is, after all, a forfeiture of something highly valued for the sake of something one considered to have a greater value or claim. Environmentalists must consider the possibility that industrial wind, by its failure to perform to stated goals, does not then qualify for this sacred consideration.

Affiliations

My comments here are my own. I am a member of the Board of Directors for the Allegheny Highlands Alliance, but do not speak for the organization in this commentary. I serve as editor of the Allegheny Treasures blog, an amateur site intended not to answer questions, but instead to stimulate discussion of industrial wind among readers, as I hope to do in this piece.

I arrived at my opinions after all consideration to the argument presented by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) and other industrial wind support groups. I’ll be the first to admit I could be wrong, as I was when I supported industrial wind just two years ago. If a persuasive argument can be made to sway me back, I assure you I’ll happily move.

But I should warn you, the argument must begin with a list of coal- plant closings and not easily manipulated speculative “data.” Empty promises will not justify consuming even one more square inch of Appalachian forest.

Oh, before I’m criticized on the property rights issue … I firmly believe that you should be allowed to do anything you wish with your property as long as it brings no harm to others. But whatever you choose, don’t ask me to underwrite your adventure with my tax money in the form of subsidies, grants, or any other considerations from which you profit.

Beyond NIMBY

I am not insulted at the NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) moniker the wind advocates apply to me. I would take it one step further and suggest they call me a NOPE (not-on-planet-earth)!

I believe we are all responsible for our environment and must challenge every intrusion. We cannot accept, without question, the possibility that what has been portrayed as a solution may, in fact, create additional ills, no matter how much we want to believe.

Moving the country away from fossil fuels is one thing; choosing an alternative with no proven track record in accomplishing this effort, especially one with industrial wind’s potential for serious environmental destruction is quite another.
