I was curious if I could get all my touring gear on my Salsa Campeon without racks. Was not only a success, but it blew my mind when I put it on the scale and it weighed in at 34lbs.

 

For a touring bike it rides and climbs like a demon. I think I've reached a whole new level of spoiled.

"Le rapport de la « commission d’enquête » présidentielle passé au crible

 

115 mensonges sur les attentats du 11 septembre

par David Ray Griffin*

 

Il n’existe toujours pas de version officielle des attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Aucune enquête judiciaire n’a été ouverte sur les attentats eux-mêmes, ni d’enquête parlementaire d’ailleurs. Tout au plus dispose-t-on d’une version gouvernementale explicitée par un rapport rendu par une commission présidentielle. Le professeur David Ray Griffin, qui a consacré un ouvrage de référence à l’étude de ce rapport, y a relevé 115 mensonges dont il dresse ici la liste.

  

Pour chaque mensonge, on se réfèrera aux analyses du professeur David Ray Griffin dans son ouvrage Omissions et manipulations de la Commission d’enquête. Les chiffres entre parenthèse renvoient aux pages du livre dans son édition originale états-unienne.

 

1. L’omission de la preuve qu’au moins six des pirates de l’air présumés (dont Waleed al- Shehri, que la Commission accuse d’avoir poignardé une hôtesse de l’air du vol UA11 avant que celui-ci s’écrase sur la tour Nord du World Trade Center) sont toujours vivants (19-20).

 

2. L’omission des preuves concernant Mohamed Atta (comme son penchant signalé pour l’alcool, le porc et les danses érotiques privées – lap dances – ) sont en contradiction avec les affirmations de la Commission selon lesquelles il était devenu un fanatique religieux (20-21).

 

3. La confusion volontairement créée autour des preuves que Hani Hanjour était un pilote trop incompétent pour amener un avion de ligne à s’écraser sur le Pentagone (21-22).

 

4. L’omission du fait que les listes des passagers (flight manifests) rendues publiques ne contenaient aucun nom d’Arabe (23).

 

5. L’omission du fait qu’un incendie n’a jamais causé l’effondrement total d’un bâtiment à structure d’acier, ni avant ni après le 11 Septembre (25).

 

6. L’omission du fait que les incendies des Tours Jumelles n’étaient ni extrêmement étendus, ni particulièrement intenses, ni même très longs en comparaison avec d’autres incendies dans des gratte-ciels (de structures) similaires, qui eux ne se sont jamais écroulés (25-26).

 

7. L’omission du fait qu’étant donné l’hypothèse que les effondrements aurait été provoqués par l’incendie, la Tour Sud, touchée plus tard que la Tour Nord et en proie à des flammes de moindre intensité, n’aurait pas dû s’effondrer la première (26).

 

8. L’omission du fait que le bâtiment n°7 du WTC (qui n’a pas été touché par un avion et qui ne fut le théâtre que de petits incendies localisés) s’est aussi écroulé, un événement que l’Agence Fédérale pour le Traitement des Situations d’Urgence (FEMA) a reconnu ne pouvoir expliquer (26).

 

9. L’omission du fait que l’effondrement des Tours Jumelles (et du bâtiment n°7) présente au moins 10 caractéristiques d’une démolition contrôlée (26-27).

 

10. L’assertion que le coeur de la structure de chacune des Tours Jumelles était « un puits d’acier vide », une affirmation qui nie la présence de 47 massives colonnes d’acier qui constituaient en réalité le coeur de chaque tour et qui, selon la théorie de « l’empilement des étages » (the « pancake theory ») explicative des effondrements, aurait dû restées dressées vers le ciel sur de nombreuses dizaines de mètres (27-28).

 

11. L’omission de la déclaration de Larry Silverstein [le propriétaire du WTC] selon laquelle il décida, en accord avec les pompiers, de « démolir » (to « pull », argot technique) le bâtiment n°7 (28).

 

12. L’omission du fait que l’acier des bâtiments du WTC fut rapidement déblayé de la scène du crime et embarqué sur des navires à destination de l’étranger AVANT qu’il puisse être analysé pour y déceler des traces d’explosifs (30).

 

13. L’omission du fait que le bâtiment n°7 ayant été évacué avant son effondrement, la raison officielle invoquée pour le déblaiement rapide de l’acier [sur ce site] (que certaines personnes puissent être encore vivantes sous les décombres) ne faisait aucun sens dans ce cas précis (30).

 

14. L’omission de la déclaration du maire R. Giuliani selon laquelle il avait été prévenu que le WTC allait s’effondrer (30-31).

 

15. L’omission du fait que Marvin Bush, le frère du Président, et son cousin Wirt Walker III étaient tous les deux directeurs de la société chargée de la sécurité du WTC (31-32).

 

16. L’omission du fait que l’aile Ouest du Pentagone [celle effectivement touchée] était la moins susceptible d’être prise pour cible par des terroristes de al-Qaida, pour plusieurs raisons (33- 34).

 

17. L’omission de toute discussion pour établir si les dommages sur le Pentagone étaient compatibles avec l’impact d’un Boeing 757 se déplaçant à plusieurs centaines de kilomètres/heure (34).

 

18. L’omission du fait qu’il existe des photos montrant que la façade de l’aile Ouest ne s’est effondrée que 30 minutes après la frappe, et aussi que le trou d’entrée apparaît bien trop petit pour un Boeing 757 (34).

 

19. L’omission de tout témoignage contradictoire au sujet de la présence ou de l’absence de débris visibles d’un Boeing 757 que ce soit à l’intérieur ou à l’extérieur du Pentagone (34-36).

 

20. L’absence de toute discussion pour établir si le Pentagone disposait d’un système de défense anti-missile capable d’abattre un avion de ligne commercial, bien que la Commission suggéra que les terroristes d’al-Qaida n’attaquèrent pas une centrale nucléaire parce qu’ils assumaient qu’elle serait ainsi défendue (36).

 

21. L’omission du fait que les images de différentes caméras de surveillance (y compris celles de la station service en face du Pentagone, dont le film fut confisqué par le FBI immédiatement après la frappe) pourraient sans doute donner une réponse à ce qui a réellement percuté le Pentagone (37-38).

 

22. L’omission de la référence du Ministre de la Défense D. Rumsfeld à « un missile [utilisé] pour endommager [le Pentagone] » (39).

 

23. L’approbation apparente de la réponse totalement insatisfaisante à la question de savoir pourquoi les agents des Services Secrets permirent au Président Bush de rester dans l’école de Sarasota à un moment où, selon la version officielle, ils auraient dû assumer qu’un avion détourné aurait pu prendre l’école pour cible (41-44).

 

24. L’échec à expliciter pourquoi les Services Secrets n’ont pas demandé la protection de chasseurs pour [l’avion présidentiel] Air Force One (43-46).

 

25. Les affirmations selon lesquelles lorsque le cortège présidentiel arriva à l’école [de Sarasota], personne dans l’assistance ne savait que plusieurs avions avaient été détournés (47-48).

 

26. L’omission du rapport selon lequel le Ministre de la Justice John Ashcroft fut averti d’arrêter de prendre des lignes aériennes commerciales avant le 11 Septembre (50).

 

27. L’omission de l’affirmation de David Schippers qu’il avait, sur la base d’informations fournies par des agents du FBI à propos d’attaques prévues dans le Sud de Manhattan, tenté en vain de transmettre cette information au Ministre de la Justice John Ashcroft pendant les 6 semaines précédant le 11 Septembre (51).

 

28. L’omission de toute mention que des agents du FBI auraient affirmé avoir eu connaissance des cibles et des dates des attaques [terroristes] longtemps à l’avance (51-52).

 

29. L’affirmation, par une réfutation circulaire qui présume la question résolue, que le volume inhabituel des achats d’options à la baisse avant le 11 Septembre n’impliquait pas que les acheteurs savaient à l’avance que les attaques se produiraient. (52-57)

 

30. L’omission des rapports selon lesquels le maire [de San Francisco] Willie Brown et certains responsables du Pentagone reçurent des mises en garde sur le fait de prendre l’avion le 11 Septembre (57).

 

31. L’omission du rapport selon lequel Oussama ben Laden, qui était déjà le criminel le plus recherché des États-Unis, fut traité en juillet 2001 par un docteur américain à l’hôpital américain de Dubai et y reçu la visite de l’agent local de la CIA (59).

 

32. L’omission des articles suggérant qu’après le 11 Septembre, l’armée américaine laissa délibérément Oussama ben Laden s’échapper (60).

 

33. L’omission de rapports, incluant celui sur la

visite par le chef des services de renseignements saoudiens à Oussama ben Laden à l’hôpital de Dubai, qui sont en contradiction avec la version officielle selon laquelle Oussama fut renié par sa famille et son pays (60-61).

 

34. L’omission du compte-rendu de Gerald Posner sur le témoignage de Abu Zubaydah, selon lequel trois membres de la famille royale saoudienne (qui périrent tous mystérieusement à huit jours d’intervalle) finançaient al-Qaida et avaient une connaissance anticipée des attaques du 11 Septembre (61-65).

 

35. Le démenti par la Commission d’avoir trouvé une preuve du financement d’al-Qaida par les Saoudiens (65-68).

 

36. Le démenti par la Commission d’avoir trouvé une preuve que de l’argent de la femme du Prince Bandar, la Princesse Haifa, alla à des agents d’al-Qaida (69-70).

 

37. Le démenti, en ignorant tout simplement la distinction entre vols privés et vols commerciaux, que le vol privé transportant des Saoudiens de Tampa à Lexington le 13 Septembre violait les règlements de l’espace aérien en vigueur à cette date (71-76).

 

38. Le démenti que des Saoudiens furent autorisés à quitter le territoire des États-Unis peu de temps après le 11 Septembre sans avoir été l’objet d’une enquête appropriée (76-82).

 

39. L’omission de la preuve que le Prince Bandar obtint une autorisation spéciale de la Maison-Blanche pour les vols des Saoudiens (82-86).

 

40. L’omission de l’affirmation de Coleen Rowley que des responsables au Q.-G. du FBI avait vu le mémo de Phoenix de l’agent Kenneth Williams (89-90).

 

41. L’omission du fait que l’agent du FBI à Chicago Robert Wright affirme que le Q.-G. du FBI referma son enquête sur une cellule terroriste, puis tenta de l’intimider pour l’empêcher de publier un livre relatant expériences (91).

 

42. L’omission de la preuve que le Q.-G. du FBI sabota la tentative de Coleen Rowley et d’autres agents [du FBI] de Minneapolis pour obtenir un mandat pour rechercher l’ordinateur de Zacarias Moussaoui (91-94).

 

43. L’omission des trois heures trente de déposition devant la Commission par Sibel Edmonds, ancienne traductrice au FBI, déposition qui selon une lettre rendue publique par elle et adressée au Président [de la Commission] Kean, révélait de sérieuses dissimulations de la part de responsables du FBI, en relation avec le 11 Septembre, et ce au Quartier Général même du FBI (94-101).

 

44. L’omission du fait que le Général Mahmoud Ahmad, le Chef de l’ISI [les Services de Renseignement Pakistanais], se trouvait à Washington une semaine avant le 11 Septembre, et rencontra le Directeur de la CIA George Tenet ainsi que d’autres haut-responsables étasuniens (103-04).

 

45. L’omission de la preuve que Ahmad, le Chef de l’ISI [les Services de Renseignement Pakistanais] avait ordonné l’envoi de $100,000 à Mohamed Atta avant le 11 Septembre (104- 07).

 

46. L’affirmation de la Commission qu’elle ne trouva aucune preuve qu’un seul gouvernement étranger, y compris le Pakistan, avait financé des agents d’al-Qaida (106).

 

47. L’omission du rapport selon lequel l’Administration Bush fit pression sur le Pakistan pour limoger Ahmad de son poste de Chef de l’ISI après la divulgation de l’information selon laquelle il avait ordonné l’envoi d’argent de l’ISI à Mohamed Atta (107-09).

 

48. L’omission de la preuve que l’ISI (et pas seulement al-Qaida) était derrière l’assassinat de Ahmad Shah Massoud (le commandant de l’Alliance du Nord en Afghanistan), qui se produisit juste après une rencontre qui dura une semaine entre des responsables de la CIA et de l’ISI (110-112).

 

49. L’omission de la preuve que l’ISI est impliqué dans l’enlèvement et le meurtre de Daniel Pearl, journaliste au Wall Street Journal (113).

 

50. L’omission du rapport de Gerald Posner selon lequel Abu Zubaydah affirma qu’un officier militaire pakistanais, Mushaf Ali Mir, ayant des liens étroits avec l’ISI et al-Qaida avait une connaissance anticipée des attaques du 11 Septembre (114).

 

51. L’omission de la prédiction faite en 1999 par Rajaa Gulum Abbas, un agent de l’ISI, que les Tours Jumelles « s’effondreraient » (114).

 

52. L’omission du fait que le Président Bush et d’autres membres de son Administration évoquèrent à plusieurs reprises les attaques du

11 Septembre comme des « opportunités » (116-17).

 

53. L’omission du fait que le Projet pour le Nouveau Siècle Américain (« The Project for the New American Century »), dont de nombreux membres devinrent des figures clés de l’Administration Bush, publia un document en 2000 disant qu’un « nouveau Pearl Harbour » aiderait à l’obtention de fonds pour une transformation technologique rapide de l’appareil militaire américain (117-18).

 

54. L’omission du fait que Donald Rumsfeld, qui était le président de la commission de l’US Space Command et avait recommandé l’accroissement du budget alloué, utilisa les attaques du 11 Septembre le soir même pour s’assurer de tels crédits (119-22).

 

55. Le fait de ne pas mentionner que les trois hommes responsables de l’échec à prévenir les attaques du 11 Septembre (le Ministre Rumsfeld, le Général Richard Myers, et le Général Ralph Eberhart) étaient également les trois principaux promoteurs de l’US Space Command (122).

 

56. L’omission du fait que Unocal avait déclaré que les Talibans ne pouvaient pas garantir une sécurité adéquate pour commencer la construction de ses pipelines (de pétrole et de gaz) depuis le bassin Caspien au travers de l’Afghanistan et du Pakistan (122-25).

 

57. L’omission du rapport selon lequel des représentants des États-Unis dirent à l’occasion d’une rencontre en juillet 2001 que, parce que les Talibans refusaient leur proposition de développer la construction d’un oléoduc, une guerre contre eux commenceraient en octobre (125-26).

 

58. L’omission du fait que dans son livre publié en 1997 Zbigniew Brzezinski avait écrit que pour que les États-Unis maintiennent leur primauté globale, ils avaient besoin du contrôle de l’Asie Centrale, avec ses vastes réserves de pétrole, et qu’un nouveau Pearl Harbour serait utile pour obtenir l’adhésion de l’opinion publique américaine à ces visées impériales (127-28).

 

59. L’omission du fait que des membres clés de l’Administration Bush, dont Donald Rumsfeld et son délégué Paul Wolfowitz, s’étaient démenés en faveur d’une nouvelle guerre contre l’Irak pendant de nombreuses années (129-33).

 

60. L’omission des notes des conversations de Donald Rumsfeld le 11 Septembre qui montrent qu’il était déterminé à utiliser les attaques comme un prétexte pour une guerre contre l’Irak (131-32).

 

61. L’omission de la déclaration contenue dans le Projet pour un Nouveau Siècle Américain que « le besoin pour une présence américaine forte dans le Golfe dépasse le sujet du régime de Saddam Hussein » (133-34).

 

62. L’affirmation que le protocole de la FAA (Federal Aviation Agency) au sujet du 11 Septembre requérait le long processus de passer par plusieurs étapes dans la chaîne de commandement, même si le Rapport Officiel [de la Commission] cite des preuves du contraire (158).

 

63. L’affirmation que ces jours-là, seules deux bases de l’US Air Force dans le secteur Nord- Est du NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command pour Centre de Commandement de la Défense de l’Aérospatial de l’Amérique du Nord) conservaient des chasseurs en alerte et qu’en particulier il n’y avait pas d’avions de combat en alerte à McGuire ou à Andrews (159-162).

 

64. L’omission du fait que la base Andrews de l’US Air Force convervait plusieurs avions de chasse en alerte de façon permanente (162-64).

 

65. L’acceptation de la double affirmation que le Colonel Marr du NEADS (North East Air Defense Sector) devait téléphoner à un supérieur pour obtenir la permission d’envoyer des chasseurs depuis [la base] d’Otis et que cet appel nécessita huit minutes (165-66).

 

66. L’approbation de l’affirmation que la perte du signal du transpondeur d’un avion rend virtuellement impossible sa localisation par for par les radars de l’armée américaine (166- 67).

 

67. L’affirmation que l’interception de Stewart Payne n’a pas montré que le temps de réponse du NORAD au vol AA11 fut extraordinairement lent (167-69).

 

68. L’affirmation que les chasseurs de la base d’Otis restèrent cloués au sol sept minutes après qu’ils en eurent reçu l’ordre parce qu’ils ne savaient pas où aller (174-75).

 

69. L’affirmation que l’armée américaine n’était pas informée du détournement du vol UA175 avant 9h03, moment exact où il percutait la tour Sud du WTC (181-82).

 

70. L’omission de toute explication sur (a) la raison pour laquelle un rapport antérieur du NORAD, selon lequel la FAA avait notifiée les militaires du détournement du vol UA175 à 8h43, était maintenant considéré comme faux et (b) comment ce rapport, s’il était faux, a pu être publié et ensuite laissé non corrigé pendant près de trois ans (182).

 

71. L’affirmation que la FAA n’a installé de téléconférence qu’à partir de 9h20 ce matin-là (183).

 

72. L’omission du fait qu’un mémo de Laura Brown de la FAA affirme que la téléconférence fut établie à environ 8h50 et qu’elle porta notamment sur le détournement du vol UA175 (183-84, 186).

 

73. L’affirmation que la téléconférence de la NMCC, (le Centre National de Commandement Militaire ou National Military Command Center) ne débuta pas avant 9h29 (186-88).

 

74. L’omission, dans l’affirmation de la Commission que le vol AA77 n’a pas dévié de sa course avant 8h54, du fait que des rapports précédents avaient annoncé 8h46 (189-90). 75. L’échec à mentionner que l’annonce du crash d’un jet dans le Kentucky, à peu près au moment où le vol AA77 disparaissait du radar de la FAA, fut prise suffisamment au sérieux par les responsables de la FAA et de l’unité du contre-terrorisme du FBI pour être relayée à la Maison-Blanche (190).

 

76. L’affirmation que le vol AA77 vola près de 40 minutes dans l’espace aérien américain en direction de Washington sans être détecté par les radars des militaires (191-92).

 

77. L’échec à expliquer, si le précédent rapport du NORAD selon lequel il fut notifié du vol AA77 à 9h24 était « incorrect », comment ce rapport erroné a pu voir le jour, c’est-à-dire, de savoir si les responsables du NORAD ont menti ou furent « embrouillés » pendant près de trois ans (192-93).

 

78. L’affirmation que les avions de combats de Langley, dont le NORAD avait tout d’abord dit qu’ils furent dépêchés pour intercepter le vol AA77, furent réellement déployés en réponse à un rapport erroné de la part d’un contrôleur (non-identifié) de la FAA à 9h21 que le vol AA11 était toujours en l’air et se dirigeait vers Washington (193-99).

 

79. L’affirmation que les militaires ne furent pas

contactés par la FAA à propos du probable détournement du vol AA77 avant que le Pentagone soit touché (204-12).

 

80. L’affirmation que Jane Garvey ne s’est pas jointe à la vidéoconférence de Richard Clarke avant 9h40, c’est-à-dire après que le Pentagone soit percuté (210).

 

81. L’affirmation qu’aucune des téléconférences ne parvint à coordonner la FAA et les réponses des militaires aux détournements parce « qu’aucune [d’elles] incluait les bons responsables au sein de la FAA et du Ministère de la Défense », bien que Richard Clarke dise que sa vidéoconférence incluait la Directrice de la FAA Jane Garvey comme le Ministre de la Défense Rumsfeld et le Général Richard Myers, le Chef des Forces Armées par intérim (211).

 

82. L’affirmation de la Commission qu’elle ne savait pas qui, au sein du Ministère de la Défense, participa à la vidéoconférence avec Richard Clarke alors que Clarke affirme dans son livre qu’il s’agissait de Donald Rumsfeld et du Général Myers (211-212). 83. L’approbation de l’affirmation du Général Myers qu’il se trouvait sur Capitol Hill pendant les attaques, sans mentionner le compte-rendu contradictoire de Richard Clarke, selon lequel Myers était au Pentagone et participait à la vidéoconférence avec Clarke (213-17).

 

84. L’échec à mentionner la contradiction entre le témoignage de Clarke au sujet de l’emploi du temps de Rumsfeld ce matin-là et les propres déclarations de Rumsfeld (217-19).

 

85. L’omission du témoignage du Ministre des Transports Norman Mineta, donné à la Commission elle-même, que le Vice-Président Cheney et les autres [personnes présentes] dans l’abri souterrain étaient avertis à 9h26 qu’un avion s’approchait du Pentagone (220).

 

86. L’affirmation que les responsables du

Pentagone ne savaient rien d’un avion s’approchant d’eux avant 9h32, 9h34, ou 9h36, et dans tous les cas seulement quelques minutes avant que le bâtiment soit touché (223).

 

87. L’acceptation de deux versions contradictoires au sujet de l’appareil qui percuta le Pentagone : une qui relate l’exécution d’une spirale à 330 degrés vers le bas (un « piqué à grande vitesse ») et une autre dans laquelle il n’est pas fait mention de cette manoeuvre (222-23).

 

88. L’affirmation que les avions de chasse de Langley, qui reçurent soit-disant l’ordre de décoller rapidement pour protéger Washington contre le « vol fantôme AA11 » n’étaient nulle part près de Washington parce qu’ils furent envoyés vers l’océan par erreur (223-24).

 

89. L’omission de toutes les preuves suggérant que ce qui frappa le Pentagone n’était pas le vol AA77 (224-25).

 

90. L’affirmation que les militaires ne furent pas informés par la FAA du détournement du vol UA93 avant qu’il ne s’écrase (227-29, 232, 253).

 

91. La double affirmation que le NMCC n’a pas contrôlé la conférence initiée par la FAA et donc fut incapable de connecter la FAA à la téléconférence initiée par le NMCC (230-31).

 

92. L’omission du fait que les Services Secrets sont capables de savoir tout ce que sait la FAA (233).

 

93. L’omission de toute enquête sur les raisons pour lesquelles le NMCC lança sa propre téléconférence, si, comme Laura Brown de la FAA l’a dit, cela n’est pas le protocole standard (234).

 

94. L’omission de toute enquête sur les raisons pour lesquelles le Général Montague Winfield fut non seulement remplacé par un « bleu » (a rookie), le Capitaine Leidig, en tant que Directeur des Opérations du NMCC mais encore l’a laissé au commandement quand il fut clair que le Pentagone était confronté à une crise sans précédent (235-36).

 

95. L’affirmation que la FAA notifia (de façon erronée) les Services Secrets entre 10h10 et 10h15 que le vol UA93 était encore dans le ciel et se dirigeait vers Washington (237).

 

96. L’affirmation que le Vice-Président Cheney ne donna l’autorisation de tir qu’après 10h10 (plusieurs minutes après que le vol UA93 se fut écrasé) et que cette autorisation ne fut pas transmise à l’armée US avant 10h31 (237-41).

 

97. L’omission de toutes les preuves indiquant que le vol UA93 fut abattu par un avion militaire (238-39, 252-53).

 

98. L’affirmation que [le Tsar du Contre-Terrorisme] Richard Clarke ne reçut la demande d’autorisation de tir qu’à 10h25 (240).

 

99. L’omission du propre témoignage de Clarke, qui suggère qu’il reçut cette demande d’autorisation de tir vers 9h50 (240).

 

100. L’affirmation que Cheney ne gagna l’abri souterrain du PEOC [ou CPOU pour Centre Présidentiel d’Opérations d’Urgence]) qu’à 9h58 (241-44).

 

101. L’omission de multiples témoignages, dont celui de Norman Mineta [le Ministre des Transports] à la Commission elle-même, que [le Vice-Président] Cheney se trouvait dans le CPOU avant 9h20 (241-44).

 

102. L’affirmation que l’autorisation d’abattre un avion civil devait être donnée par le Président (245).

 

103. L’omission de rapports que le Colonel Marr donna l’ordre d’abattre le vol UA93 et que le Général Winfield indiqua que lui et d’autres [officiers] au NMCC s’attendaient à ce qu’un chasseur atteigne le vol UA93 (252).

 

104. L’omission de rapports indiquant qu’il y avait deux avions de chasse dans le ciel à quelques kilomètres de New York et trois à seulement 320 kilomètres de Washington (251).

 

105. L’omission du fait qu’il existait au moins six bases militaires avec des chasseurs en état d’alerte dans la région Nord-Est des États-Unis (257-58).

 

106. L’approbation de l’affirmation du Général Myers que le NORAD avait défini sa mission en termes de défense seulement contre des menaces dirigées [vers les Etats-Unis] depuis l’étranger (258-62).

 

107. L’approbation de l’affirmation du Général Myers que le NORAD n’avait pas envisagé la possibilité que des terroristes pourraient utiliser des avions de ligne détournés comme des missiles (262-63).

 

108. L’échec de mettre en perspective la signification du fait, présenté dans le Rapport lui-même, ou de mentionner d’autres faits prouvant que le NORAD avait effectivement envisagé la menace posée par des avions de ligne détournés d’être utilisés comme des missiles (264- 67).

 

109. L’échec de sonder les implications de la question de savoir comment les manoeuvres militaires (« war games ») programmées ce jour-là purent influer sur l’échec des militaires à intercepter les avions de ligne détournés (268-69).

 

110. L’échec de discuter la pertinence possible de l’Opération Northwoods avec les attaques du 11 Septembre (269-71).

 

111. L’affirmation (présentée pour expliquer pourquoi les militaires n’obtinrent pas l’information au sujet des avions détournés à temps pour les intercepter) que le personnel de la FAA inexplicablement faillit à suivre les procédures standards quelques 16 fois (155-56, 157, 179, 180, 181, 190, 191, 193, 194, 200, 202-03, 227, 237, 272-75).

 

112. L’échec de mentionner que l’indépendance proclamée de la Commission fut fatalement compromise par le fait que Philip Zelikow, son directeur exécutif, était virtuellement un membre de l’Administration Bush (7-9, 11-12, 282-84). (ndt : un proche collaborateur de Mme. Condoleeza Rice)

 

113. L’échec de mentionner que la Maison-Blanche chercha d’abord à empêcher la création de la Commission [Officielle d’Enquête sur les Attaques Terroristes du 11 Septembre], puis plaça de nombreux obstacles sur sa route, comme le fait de lui accorder un budget extrêmement restreint (283-85). (ndt : estimé à environ 15 millions de dollars, quand le film de fiction « Vol 93 » de Paul Greengrass en a coûté 18, et « World Trade Centre » d’Oliver Stone 4 FOIS PLUS soit 60 millions de dollars ; concernant le premier point, il a fallu attendre 441 jours pour que cette Commission soit créée et M. Bush proposa que M. Kissinger en soit le président…avant de se rétracter sous les critiques virulentes de l’opinion publique.)

 

114. L’échec de mentionner que le Président de la Commission, la plupart des autres Commissionnaires, et qu’au moins la moitié du personnel avait de sérieux conflits d’intérêt (285-90, 292-95).

 

115. L’échec de la Commission, qui se vantait que la présentation de son rapport final s’était faite « sans dissension », de mentionner que cela n’avait été possible que parce que Max Cleland, le Commissionnaire le plus critique à l’encontre de la Maison-Blanche qui jura « qu’il ne serait pas complice d’un traitement partial des informations » dut démissionner pour accepter un poste à la Banque Export-Import, et que la Maison-Blanche transmit sa nomination seulement après qu’il soit devenu très direct dans ses critiques (290-291).

 

Je terminerai en précisant que j’ai conclu mon étude de ce que je suis venu à appeler « le rapport de Kean-Zelikow » en écrivant ceci : Au final, le Rapport de la Commission d’enquête sur le 11 septembre, loin de chasser mes soupçons sur une complicité officielle ne servit qu’à les confirmer. Pourquoi les responsables chargés de la rédaction de ce rapport final s’engageraient dans une telle entreprise de supercherie, si ce n’était pour tenter de couvrir de très grands crimes ? (291).

Deus Todo-Poderoso diz:“ Na época, a obra de Jesus foi a redenção de toda a humanidade. Os pecados de todos que acreditavam Nele foram perdoados; contanto que você acreditasse Nele, Ele o redimiria; se você acreditasse Nele, não era mais pecador e estava aliviado de seus pecados. É isso que significava ser salvo e ser justificado pela fé. No entanto, naqueles que acreditavam ainda restava o que era rebelde e se opunha a Deus e o que ainda precisava ser removido...”

I

Il dovere dell'uomo non riguarda l'esser benedetto o maledetto. È cosa egli dovrebbe compiere senza pagamento o condizioni. "Benedetto" vuol dir goder della benedizione dopo che l'uomo è giudicato e reso perfetto. "Maledetto" vuol dire che chi non è in grado di cambiare indole soffrirà della punizione. L'uomo dovrebbe adempiere al suo compito e fare ciò che può, sia che sia benedetto o che sia maledetto. Ciò lo rende un inseguitore, lo rende un inseguitore di Dio. Ciò lo rende un inseguitore di Dio.

II

Non dovresti svolgere il tuo compito per la benedizione, né rifiutar per paura della maledizione. Il dovere dovrebbe essere compiuto. Se fallisci vuol dir che sei ribelle. "Benedetto" vuol dir goder della benedizione dopo che l'uomo è giudicato e reso perfetto. "Maledetto" vuol dire che chi non è in grado di cambiare indole soffrirà della punizione. L'uomo dovrebbe adempiere al suo compito e fare ciò che può, sia che sia benedetto o che sia maledetto. Ciò lo rende un inseguitore, lo rende un inseguitore di Dio. Ciò lo rende un inseguitore di Dio.

Street Artists – charmers and deluded

www.ravishlondon.com/londonstreetart/index.html#charmers

  

Whilst many street artists, graffiti artists and the lowly tagger are self-publicists, there are important differences. The point is, is that street artists are in the main psychopaths, charmers in the mould of Tony Blair, who believe they are doing the right thing and want you to believe they are doing the right thing. The street artist, despite his iconoclastic and challenging art, is not trying to piss you, the general public, off. Instead he intends to seduce you with the beauty, audacity and complexity of his 'gift'. He wants to take your breath away such that you feel blessed, and forget he has trespassed, vandalised and imposed his will on you. He wants you to forget he is using your walls and your property as a canvas, so you don't get angry that he has decided, unilaterally, psychopathically, that his need for his art on your wall, is greater than your right to enjoy your wall, as it is, without interference.

   

The tension between the desire to be yang and the natural tendency to be yin causes the street artist to become deluded. Artists confuse using the streets to expand coverage of their art with democracy! French artist, Invader who mounts tiny tiled mosaics of space invaders in London asserts, ‘Nothing is too much for the street. Because if you make a piece like this and you sell it to a collector, maybe his friends, his family and a few people are going to see it. I mean maybe ten, twenty, lets say fifty people. But if you put that in the street, in a good street, its fifty people every five minutes who are going to see your work, and that’s much more interesting, much more exciting.’ At first this sounds like Invader is eulogising the ability of street art as a form of free expression, of connecting to the public, but it could also be barely containable glee at realising the income to be derived from gaining a name and interest amongst the thousands of people who take a curiosity in the work, as they walk past it in the street. The street artist will use all kind of rationales about the greater good of street art to hide his hugely problematic egoistic tendencies. The street artist claims to operate according to the mantra of the treasured late John Peel, to give to people not what they want, but that which they didn't realise they wanted. He will argue that the buildings he pasted his work over are in need of brightening up. He will argue, like it has been argued about T.Magic, that his attempts at using the pavement to illegally advertise his business is about fighting for the rights of a ‘forgotten community’ ‘to be heard in a world of limited space’. More often than not he will claim to be fighting consumerism. Cartrain for example says, ‘Graffiti doesn't tell people to buy crap they don't want, unlike advertising. I consider my work artistic and creative, not mindless rubbish designed to annoy people.’ (Trendall, 2007). In an interview with Charles Darwent, Sweet Toof explained, "It's about reclaiming space. We have to put up with advertising, that can take up the whole side of a building. We have no say in that." But in actual fact, whilst claiming to be fighting consumerism, the street artist or graffiti artist is often only adding another consumerist message, albeit in a more sophisticated and indirect way. Many street artists are delivered hot from the fresh warm lips of Margaret Thatcher, whilst trying to give the impression that they are in some sense the next Che Guevara. They are like those annoying socialist workers who bang on about corporations, whilst at the same time smoking Marlborough Lites and drinking Carling.

   

So street artists are charmers, and all the evidence is that, despite criticism that they are vandals and criminals, they have, by and large, charmed the general public, private interests and authorities a treat. Arguably the first to be charmed was the media, who love street art for several reasons. First, the audacity of many of the pieces and the location of the pieces makes great photographs and great reading. Second, the moral arguments around street art causes a rage in the soul, which arouses interest and keeps readers stuck to the paper. Arguably, the celebration of street art in the media has raised the status of street artists and the rich and famous all want a slice of that. So, in 2008, art auctioneer Bonhams held London's first auction of street art, Village Undeground held an "urban art sale" and a piece by Banksy attracted a bid of £208,100. Musicians have also been keen to get street artists to do their album covers. Faile worked on the design of a Duran Duran album (Shift, 2008); Banksy on the design of a Blur album. News of the high and the mighty purchasing street art, gives street art the appearance of legitimacy. The elevated status of street artists in turn prompts gallery owners who are keen to maximize their commissions, asking street artist to put on shows, in the hope the artists cache will attract in buyers. And, like this, street artists are laundered from illegality into legality. Best example of a street artist being laundered, is Ben ‘Eine’ Flynn, who was laundered by Prime Minister David Cameron, who bought a piece of art from this reported ex-convict, for a present made to Barack Obama. >In 2011, the same Prime Minister decided to pose in front of graffiti art when talking about his government's response to the UK riots. Graffiti, it's alright, it's for the kids, those riot prone darlings.

   

Furthermore local authorities, now aware of the financial value of street art, and of the publicity that it brings, are loathed to tear down pieces of street art. The Head of Street Environment Services in Islington, seduced, said: “As the Head of Service I do have some discretion and with regards to street art there are pieces of very attractive street art which do feature in books, and calendars and websites. Some of the Banksy work, my personal opinion, is that they are very artistic, I genuinely believe that it does add value. The stuff that we've got there's groups of people who come to look at this kind of work, because work of Banksy has been sold off for huge sums of money." In Shoreditch, for example, most of the street art remains for as long as it takes for the rain to dissolve it, for another artist to displace it, or for some envious art collector to rip it off the wall.

   

Private interests have been seduced too. The firm Pearl and Coutts, when it found out that Westminster Council wanted to remove a Banksy exhibit from one of its walls, went to the length of taking Westminster Council to court, to try, unsuccessfully, to have the image protected. Ben ‘Eine’ Flynn found himself at the centre of another process of legitimization, one which began in 2007 and 2008, when he started painting letters on the steel shutters of shop fronts around East London. He said, ‘Once I'd done about six and had photographs of them, then I could approach the shop owners and say, "I'm an artist, this is what I'm doing, can I do yours?" Invariably they say yes and invariably they say, "My shop's called Ruby Handbags, can you paint an R and H'?"

   

The ability of street artists to charm authorities has caused some degree of consternation and resentment amongst graffiti artists and taggers, who are often looked on less favourably. Graffiti artist Robbo, speaking to The Sabotague Times, commented that “Over the years negative connotations associated with graff have been exaggerated, it’s unreal that people can end up in prison for a long time, yet someone puts up a stencil and that’s OK, because it brings tourism to Shoreditch."

  

Street art as coveted commodities

www.ravishlondon.com/londonstreetart/index.html#...

  

So the cultural cache of street art, or at least of certain street artists, has meant that street art has now become a commodity, of considerable value, to be bought and traded, and to be treated as an investment. The commodification and value of Banksy’s work, and the absence of any successful attempt to prosecute Banksy, has meant that in effect, he has been able to spray money on to peoples’ property. In 2008 Luti Fagbenle made £208,100 after putting up for auction a piece of work, which Banksy had mounted on the wall of his Portobello Road office. Now, when, someone finds a piece of street art on their property, they may not necessarily first think about how much it will cost to sandblast the graffiti away, rather they might first stop to think about whether it is a Banksy, and how much they might get for it (see this London story from 2009.

   

Now some people, rather than enjoying the aesthetics or experience of street art, want to know, "Who did the street art? Was it Banksy?" See, for example, this message posted by Hooked on the internet, "Checked out this new Banksy piece yesterday. Fantastic work and great to see everyone enjoying the piece, had three long conversations with random locals about the pieces while I was taking some pictures. Lots of others kept stopping and asking if we knew who did it or if we were Banksy! ".

   

The age of the internet has created a virtual street art world built in part on the real world of street art. But how does the virtual street art world differ from the real world of street art?

   

In the real world of street art, the artist plans what he or she is going to do, where he or she is going to do it and then executes the plan. Those who happen to see the art, and enjoy it, encounter it as a moment of serendipity. The experience is brief and embedded in their every-day narrative of going to work or walking down a street, and whatever day-to-day thoughts they may be thinking. The appreciation is cursory. For many more the art may not even register; it may be nothing more than background noise. In any case for most people, unless ardent fans, their experience of street art is dilute, they may see only one or two pieces at any one time.

   

The virtual world of street art, however, is something different altogether. In the virtual world, street art is concentrated. There are blogs and galleries which rip the art from their geographical location and juxtapose the images next to each other. Here, viewers of street art get a concentrated experience, delivered to them through the click of a mouse, rather than the motion of their legs. The sights, sounds and weather of the city are lost. Sometimes the street is completely cut away, leaving just the art, and the claims that the art was once on the street, so that street credibility continues to dangle, from a very thin thread, from the photographic representation of the art. Whilst in the real world street art is transient, the virtual world of street art has the power to prolong the life of transient pieces. The magic that might have been shared by a few who had the luck to walk down a street at the particular point in time the work was mounted, and just before it was taken back down again, can now be shared by millions for years and years in the virtual reality of street art.

   

It may also be the case, that the virtual world of street art, creates more viewers of street art, and creates more fans than the real world itself. The amateur world of cataloguers and commentators, desirous to know who did what begin to create anthologies of artists work, create stars of the street art world; interviews help to construct personas; they help provide a context and understanding, through which street art can be more easily represented and understood by consumers of the mass media. In so doing the community of cataloguers and commentators on the internet have arguably digested and helped the mass media link into street art, and helped marketers and auction houses commodify street art.

   

It might be argued that the increase in street art, is in part, not an increase in the purist form of street art, i.e. art which attempts to relate to the environment in some way, but instead, an increase in the appropriation of streets and walls as canvases for artists struggling to get recognition through galleries. It is ironic in some ways that many street artists eulogize about the democratic effects of putting art on the street, i.e. that it is available for everyone, when in fact it maybe that it is only when the art is reframed from the street on to the internet, that they get their biggest viewing figures. Is it really street art when it is on the internet? Has the virtual world of street art created two forms of street art?

   

A case study of the famous 'spat' between two street artists, Banksy and Robbo, which has been commented on earlier, serves to illustrate some of what we are talking about here. The actual street art events in this spat, in the real street art world, comprised a set of alterations of different pieces of graffiti and art over a period of time. For many in the real world of street art, for passers-by with no knowledge of street art, the modified works Robbo, with the exception of Banksy's initial modification, added no aesthetic value. Furthermore without knowledge of Banksy, Robbo and their 'spat' most passers-by would not have been able to read into the significance of the modifications as they presented. In many ways, in the real world of street art, the modifications were meaningless. Finally with the iterations made by Banksy and Robbo occurring over just a handful of days, few would have seen the pieces, and fewer would have seen the complete evolution of these artistic modifications.

   

However, as was pointed out, the internet creates a virtual world of street art. One of the principal effects is that transient street works can be captured electronically and maintained for perpetuity on the internet. So the successive modifications made by Banksy and Robbo were immediately captured, so that people could enjoy them sometime after they had been destroyed. The narratives provided by the bloggers and cataloguers helped readers make sense of the modifications, enjoy the joke so to speak, and provided the basis upon which lovers of street art and graffiti could debate the ethics of the modifications.

   

It is interesting then to ponder whether Banksy and Robbo might have gone to the lengths they did, if it wasn't for the virtual world of street art. It is clear that without the internet, the work and the understandings of the work would only have been enjoyed by a very small number of people related to the artists themselves. What we are left to ponder then, is whether street artists are now creating street art, with a view to how this will be seen in the virtual world of street art first, with considerations about what people who actually really do see and experience it in the street, second?

   

In fact, some have argued that the 'spat' between Banksy and Robbo, may have been a sophisticated and intelligent piece of marketing, an attempt to manufacture a 'street art story', which served to raise awareness and interest in both artists. Certainly the spat created an interest in Robbo, which led to Channel 4 filming a documentary about Robbo's attempts to get even with Banksy, and to a gallery inviting him to do a show, something which he had never achieved during his days painting graffiti on trains. Certainly if this was an example of manufactured marketing, it absolutely relied on the dynamics of the virtual world of street art. The mass media, who took up the story of the 'spat', relied in part on the narratives and context provided by bloggers, to present the story to the public.

   

It should also be pointed out that this hyper-world of the internet isn't just an add-on to the real world – in some ways it has now taken over – so the real world of street art is ultimately a means to an end, a means to making it in the hyper-world. Street artists now, arguably create their wares, with an expectation that they will be seen on the internet. Most artists for example provide their signature to the art, and many have their own web site. This led one street artist, in 2010, to mounting up the words, "this will be available on canvas later" on a wall in Hanbury Street, just off Brick Lane. Well it has made it to this web page.

U2 - No Line On The Horizon Live in Dublin

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oKwnkYFsiE&feature=related

  

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.

One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.

The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine

quietly.

Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.

I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.

That is the meaning of a rebirth.

I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.

After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After

she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies

until I realized it is love?

I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the

daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.

I had been thinking about such a thing.

However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see

something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable

tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.

Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

χριστιανικη μουσικη

Το ότι ο Θεός έχει ενσαρκωθεί τραντάζει το θρησκευτικό κόσμο,

 

αναταράσσει τη θρησκευτική τάξη

 

και αναδεύει τις ψυχές όλων αυτών που προσμένουν την εμφάνιση του Θεού.

 

Ποιος δε το θαυμάζει αυτό; Ποιος δε λαχταρά να δει το Θεό;

 

Ο Θεός πέρασε χρόνια εν μέσω των ανθρώπων, αλλά ο άνθρωπος απλά έχει άγνοια επ’ αυτού.

 

Σήμερα, ο Ίδιος ο Θεός έχει εμφανισθεί για να ανανεώσει την παλαιά αγάπη Του με τον άνθρωπο.

 

Αφού έφυγε από την Ιουδαία, ο Θεός εξαφανίστηκε χωρίς ίχνος.

 

Οι άνθρωποι προσμένουν να Τον ξαναδούν, αλλά ποτέ δεν περίμεναν

 

να επανενωθούν μαζί Του εδώ και τώρα.

 

Πως αυτό να μη φέρει αναμνήσεις του παρελθόντος;

 

Δύο χιλιάδες χρόνια πριν,

 

Ο Σίμων, υιός του Ιωνά συνάντησε τον Κύριο Ιησού και έφαγε με τον Κύριο στο ίδιο τραπέζι.

 

Τα χρόνια που Τον ακολούθησε, εμβάθυναν την αγάπη του για Εκείνον.

 

Αγαπούσε τον Ιησού από τα βάθη της καρδιάς του.

 

Ο Θεός πέρασε χρόνια εν μέσω των ανθρώπων, αλλά ο άνθρωπος απλά έχει άγνοια επ’ αυτού.

 

Σήμερα, ο Ίδιος ο Θεός έχει εμφανισθεί για να ανανεώσει την παλαιά αγάπη Του με τον άνθρωπο,

 

να ανανεώσει την παλαιά αγάπη Του με τον άνθρωπο.

La obra reproducida es «El Museo de una Noche» («Le Musée d’une Nuit»). Se trata de un óleo sobre lienzo que mide 19 x 25 cm. Pertenece a una de las importantes galerías privadas belgas. Se trata de la colección de Marcel Mabille, emplazada en Sint-Genesius-Rode / Rhode-Saint-Genèse, población del Brabante flamenco próxima a Bruselas.

 

El pintor ejecutó un gouache en 1959 con el mismo título y que se puede considerar una réplica (bien que los compartimentos albergan en esta ocasión la cabeza de una paloma, un cascabel, una copa de cristal y el papel recortado). Esta obra fue subastada por Sotheby’s en Nueva York en 2013.

Another Epic Chase day in Nebraska....

 

Along with fellow chaser Myles Nelson, we had a small jaunt from Kearney out to the western skies of Nebraska. We met up with fellow chaser Aaron Edwards just to the south of the Sutherland Power-plant to set up shot a few hours before all the action began. We were waiting for the first cells to produce by Grant and Hershy Nebraska. They did form and the Grant Supercell was producing but it was traveling close to 60+ knots to the due north. Even if we wanted to catch this cell it was moving way to fast. So after a short broadcast out to Kent Boughton ABC NTV Affiliate. We packed up gear and started to head to the southeast towards Stockville Nebraska.

 

Tornado had already pushed through the McCook Nebraska area and we were in range to intercept. Though on way there, just on the outside of Stockville, we had to punch through a nasty hail core. We originally though we hit a deer or something else but once we got to the eastern edge of Stockville, we noticed we had a large pheasant buried into my front grill. I didn't know the extent of damage till we got back to Kearney that evening. That being said, we had the rotating supercell coming in from the southwest and were were planning on punching the core again. When fellow chaser Chuck Patient met up with us he had 2 inch diameter hail stones that they had just went through we had decided not to. It was a wise decision, and we eventually headed east.

 

Now I usually don't do country roads anymore due to the fact... If we get stuck we would be there for a long time and I didn't want to miss out on this event. But we did it anyway.... and just a few miles to the east of Stockville we headed north. It was a good decision due to being on the southeast side of this cell, we were in perfect position to intercept and we did. Far enough away from the RFD we had a perfect view of the Stockville / Farnam Torando from its birth.... Though we had to avoid other chasers, we successfully navigated to a good place for some excellent footage. Probably the best footage I've caught since the 2017 Tornado outbreak in Cheyenne Wyoming.

 

We got a little close... actually we had to get under and in front of it again. Yes a little dangerous but again I've been doing this a LONG time and I don't take risks that will get us killed. We had finally got back to a point in front of the rotating base just north of Farnam and where heading for the next intercept in Cozad Nebraska.

 

I-80 Eastbound we had to punch through the core again and we got lucky. Minutes before this cell produced another tornado we got just to the east of Cozad Nebraska to catch the funnel to the east of town. Not wanting to punch the core again... and only about a 1/2 hour of light left. We decided that we had caught what we wanted that day and head back to Kearney.

 

Though this cell was still raging late into the night. It had produced another tornado by the Oconto Nebraska area. Even if we wanted to chase this there wasn't adequate roadways to travel north and we would have never caught up to it again. To say the least, it was another epic storm chasing day in Nebraska.

 

Final note on these storms... that NWS had the Stockville/Farnam Tornado rated at a EF-1. That is how I have it listed in the VIDEO. Though reports last night confirmed it was and EF-3 with sufficient damage to property.

 

In the bulk of storm season out in Tornado Alley... Will be chasing again this week for more Naders!

ad

Am 24. Juli 1879 zog Major Cavagnari mit einer Eskorte von 89 Kombattanten als britischer Gesandter in Kabul ein; aber schon 3. Sept. erfolgte ein Massenangriff auf das Gesandtschaftsgebäude und die Ermordung des Gesandten und seiner Begleitung. Zur zwangsweisen Durchführung des Vertrags und Wiederherstellung der britischen Ehre erfolgte sofort ein erneuter Einmarsch englischer Truppen unter dem General Roberts. Der zweite afghanische Krieg 1879 begann. Kabul, 12. Okt. besetzt, mußte 10. Dez. wieder geräumt werden, ward aber 27. Dez. aufs neue genommen; ebenso wurde Kandahar besetzt, der Hilmend von Girischk aus überwacht und Ghasni genommen. Jakub Chan, der Mitschuld an der Ermordung Cavagnaris überwiesen, ward 13. Dez. 1879 in die Gefangenschaft nach Indien abgeführt.

 

Von englischen Truppen standen damals General Roberts mit 10,000 Mann in und um Kabul, Bright mit 12,000 Mann zwischen Kabul und Peschawar, Stewart mit 9045 Mann in Kandahar, im Kuramthal 9150 Mann. Trotz dieser Truppen fanden aber überall Aufstände statt, und die Anhänger Jakubs riefen in Ghasni den einzigen fünfjährigen Sohn desselben, Musa, zu seinem Nachfolger aus, Mohammed Dschan wurde sein Vormund und Regent. Letzterer eröffnete den Glaubenskrieg, ward aber 19. April 1880 vor Ghasni geschlagen und durch die Einnahme dieser Stadt der Ghilzaistamm niedergeworfen. Waffenruhe herrschte nunmehr im Kabulthal wie in Kandahar. In einer im April vom Oberkommandierenden nach Maidan berufenen Versammlung der einflußreichsten Einwohner ward denselben bekannt gemacht, daß England nicht die Absicht habe, A. dauernd besetzt zu halten, vielmehr einen vom Volk gewählten Emir anerkennen und dann seine Truppen zurückziehen würde. Schon früher war A. englischerseits bekannt gegeben, daß die Provinz Kandahar abgetrennt und zu einem selbständigen Reiche gemacht werden solle. Im April wurde es zur Thatsache: der bisherige Gouverneur von Kandahar, Schir Ali, ward zum Wali oder Fürsten des neuen Reichs ernannt; eine englisch-indische Brigade hielt Kandahar besetzt. Die Afghanen, sehr mißgestimmt, verlangten Wiederherstellung eines ungeteilten A., besonders Mohammed Dschan in Ghasni mit seinem Anhang wie auch die nördlich des Kabulthals seßhaften Stämme.

 

In diese Zeit fällt das Auftreten Abd ur Rahmâns, Sohn von Afzul, Enkel von Dost Mohammed. Nach der Niederlage Azims, seines Onkels, bei Ghasni im Dezember 1868, floh Abd ur Rahmân zuerst nach Persien und dann nach Rußland, wo er als russischer Staatspensionär mit 2500 Rub. Apanage in Samarkand lebte. Mitte Februar 1880 tauchte derselbe mit einer turkmenischen Streitmacht in der afghanischen Provinz Badachschan auf und wurde hier zum Herrscher von A. ausgerufen. Anfang April erkannten ihn auch die Bergstämme am Südabhang des Hindukuschgebirges an. Auch die Anhänger Jakub Chans liehen ihm Unterstützung. Infolgedessen entsandte die englische Regierung eine Gesandtschaft, um Abd ur Rahmân auch ihre Anerkennung als Emir von A. unter gewissen Bedingungen anzubieten. Nach langen Verhandlungen kam es schließlich 22. Juli in einer Versammlung afghanischer Häuptlinge in Kabul zu der Proklamierung Abd ur Rahmâns zum Emir von A. Abgesehen von dem englischerseits eingesetzten Wali Schir Ali von Kandahar, existierte aber auch noch eine Nebenregierung in Herat. Hier war 1879 Ejub Chan, Sohn des Emirs Schir Ali und Bruder des in Indien gefangen gehaltenen Jakub Chan, als Gouverneur eingesetzt. Um nicht selbst infolge der in seinem eignen Heer ausgebrochenen Kämpfe zu Grunde zu gehen, sah er sich genötigt, nach außen thätig zu werden. Die Proklamierung eines neuen Emirs von A. gab ihm Anlaß dazu, indem er eigne Rechte auf den Thron geltend machte. Ende Juni 1880 war er mit seiner Streitmacht von Herat über Farah nach dem Hilmend aufgebrochen. Gegenmaßregeln wurden von Kandahar aus getroffen. Hier stand General Primrose mit ca. 4000 Mann englischer Truppen, auf den rückwärtigen Verbindungslinien befehligte General Phayre. Der Wali Schir Ali hatte eine eigne Streitmacht organisiert. Letzterer rückte Ejub Chan entgegen; General Burrows wurde von Prim- rose mit einer gemischten Brigade zur Unterstützung des Walis detachiert. Infolge der Desertion des größten Teils der Infanterie und Artillerie des Walis mußte General Burrows vor den 12,000 Mann und 36 Geschützen Ejubs zurückweichen. Auf halbem Weg zwischen Girischk und Kandahar kam es östlich Kuschk i Nakhud 27. Juli zum Gefecht; die englische Brigade, fast aufgerieben, wurde auf Kandahar zurückgeworfen. Ejub traf 6. Aug. vor dieser Stadt ein. General Primrose verfügte über nicht ganz 5000 Mann mit 18 Geschützen. Infolge der durch Ejub unterbrochenen Verbindung mit Tschaman und Quetta war auf Unterstützung von dorther nicht zu rechnen. Man detachierte den General Roberts von Kabul auf Kandahar. Am 7. Aug. brach er mit rund 10,000 Kombattanten auf; 8000 Mann Lagertroß, 2000 Pferde, 750 Artilleriemaultiere und 1225 Transporttiere mußte er mit sich führen. Bei den Terrain-, Bevölkerungs- und Ernährungsverhältnissen des Durchmarschgebiets war das Unternehmen äußerst schwierig, zumal schon den gegebenen Versprechungen gemäß Kabul geräumt werden mußte. Schon 10. Aug. verließen die letzten englischen Truppen letzteres und zogen auf Gandamak ab. General Roberts verlor somit jede Basis; nur in der Erreichung seines Ziels und einer glücklichen Entscheidung durch die Waffen konnte ein Erfolg erzielt werden. Ejub hatte bereits 10. Aug. das mit 4630 Mann besetzte Kandahar von allen Seiten eingeschlossen. General Roberts langte 23. Aug. in Kelat i Ghilzai an, nahm die dort befindliche englische Besatzung von 1200 Mann mit und setzte seinen Marsch fort. Ejub hob auf die bezügliche Nachricht hin schon 23. Aug. die Belagerung auf und nahm mit seiner jetzt 20,000 Mann betragenden Armee etwa 15 km nordwestwärts der Stadt eine Stellung. Schon 31. Aug. war das englische Entsatzheer in Kandahar eingezogen. Am 1. Sept. griff General Roberts Ejub in der Stellung am Baba Wali an und schlug ihn vollständig. Ejub flüchtete über Farah nach Herat, wo er mit den Trümmern seiner Getreuen (die irregulären Truppen hatten sich zerstreut, die Kabuler Regimenter sich nach Kabul geflüchtet) Ende September anlangte. Nach diesem Sieg konnte das Kabinett Gladstone an der beschlossenen Räumung Afghanistans festhalten. Am 12. Sept. war von den Truppen des Generals Stewart der Chaiberpaß passiert; auch General Roberts trat schon wenige Tage nach seinem Sieg den Rückmarsch an. Nur 13,000 Mann unter dem mittlerweile von Tschaman angekommenen General Phayre blieben bei Kandahar und Tschaman.

 

Abd ur Rahmân hatte seine Herrschaft in Kabul und Nordafghanistan wesentlich befestigt: Mohammed Dschan, selbst die Ghilzai hatten sich unterworfen; im südlichen A. fingen die Verhältnisse sich zu konsolidieren an. An Stelle des nach Indien gegangenen Walis Schir Ali wurde der 26jährige Mohammed Hassim Statthalter von Kandahar. Die Engländer traten 17. April 1881 auch von hier aus ihren Rückzug an. Somit war der Emir thatsächlich Herr von Nord- und Südafghanistan, nur Herat und somit der Westen war ihm noch nicht unterthan. Hier hatte Ejub trotz Geldverlegenheiten mit großer Energie seine Streitmacht neu organisiert und war mit seinem wachsenden Ansehen wieder zu einer beständigen Drohung für Abd ur Rahmân, ja selbst für England geworden. Hier herrschten über die für Südafghanistan einzuschlagende Politik die verschiedenartigsten Ansichten; die Räumungspolitik Gladstones hatte indes die Oberhand behalten, nur am Kodschakpaß war die englische Nachhut stehen geblieben. Mohammed Hassim war keineswegs populär, und sein Ansehen stand je weiter nach Westen, desto mehr dem Ejubs nach. Während Abd ur Rahmân mit der Befestigung seiner Stellung und Organisation seines Heers beschäftigt war, zog Ejub gegen Kandahar. Schon Anfang Juni war es am Hilmend zwischen Abteilungen Hassims und den Durani, Anhängern Ejubs, zu Kämpfen gekommen. Schon 15. Juli erschien letzterer bei Girischk, passierte den Hilmend, schlug Hassim 26. Juli bei Karez i Alta und besetzte am folgenden Tag mit seiner Vorhut Kandahar. Erst jetzt sah sich Abd ur Rahmân, dessen Sache man selbst in England schon für verloren ansah, veranlaßt, auch seinerseits Gegenmaßregeln zu treffen. Am 1. Sept. traf er mit Verstärkungen bei Kelat i Ghilzai ein, während Ejub bis dahin in und bei Kandahar stehen geblieben war. Jetzt bezog er unmittelbar östlich davon eine Stellung. Abd ur Rahmân konnte sich nicht zum Angriff entschließen. Ejub, für seine Rückzugslinie nach Herat besorgt, gab jene Stellung auf und nahm eine andre südwestlich der Stadt. Hier, bei den Ruinen des alten Kandahar, kam es 22. Sept. zur Schlacht, in welcher Ejub hauptsächlich infolge Verräterei seiner Truppen unterlag. Bevor jedoch Abd ur Rahmân seine Absicht, auf Herat zu marschieren, ins Werk setzen konnte, war das Schicksal dieser Stadt schon entschieden. Unter Abd ul Kudus Chan und Ischak Chan waren nämlich dem Emir ergebene Truppen aus dem afghanischen Turkistan bereits Ende September auf dem Marsch gegen Herat. Der hier zurückgebliebene Gouverneur Inniab rückte ihnen entgegen, wurde aber 2. Okt. bei Schaflan geschlagen. Am 4. Okt. war Herat in der Gewalt der Sieger. Ejub Chan, durch dies Mißgeschick vom gefeiertsten Prätendenten zu einem anhangslosen Rebellen geworden, flüchtete, jeder Hilfsmittel beraubt, auf persisches Gebiet. Auch in Herat wurde jetzt Abd ur Rahmân als Emir proklamiert: er wurde Herr des ungeteilten A. England, das 17½ Mill. Pfd. Sterl. in der dreijährigen Feldzugsperiode geopfert hatte, konnte nunmehr seine Truppen auch aus Tschaman, wo sie bis dahin noch Wache gehalten hatten, durch den Kodschakpaß und das Pischinthal nach Indien zurückziehen. Quetta ist die Kandahar zunächst liegende englische Garnisonstadt.

 

Die augenblickliche Lage (1884) läßt sich dahin zusammenfassen: Abd ur Rahmân hat sich als Beherrscher Afghanistans zu erhalten gewußt, wenn auch um den Gouverneurposten in Herat wiederholte Streitigkeiten ausgebrochen sein sollen. Die politische Situation des Emirs ist eine äußerst schwierige in Rücksicht auf das gegenseitige Verhältnis Englands und Rußlands in Innerasien. Es ist daran zu zweifeln, ob er im stande sein wird, das strategische Dreieck Kabul-Herat-Kandahar als neutrale Zone zwischen den Machtsphären jener beiden Reiche intakt zu erhalten. Gelingt ihm oder seinem Nachfolger dies nicht, so wird A. ein Territorium sein, auf welchem sich zeigen muß, ob Rußland oder England die Fäden der asiatischen Politik geschickter zu spinnen weiß. Der Afghane fügt sich nur der Macht. Rußland ist darüber vollständig im klaren. Es wird an seinen Zielen festhalten. Von der Politik Englands wird es abhängen, ob Rußland auch hier sein Ziel, wie in Zentralasien überall, erreichen wird.

A biography of Sir Adam Beck: www.biographi.ca/en/bio/beck_adam_15E.html

 

BECK, Sir ADAM, manufacturer, horseman, politician, office holder, and philanthropist; b. 20 June 1857 in Baden, Upper Canada, son of Jacob Friedrich Beck and Charlotte Josephine Hespeler; m. 7 Sept. 1898 Lillian Ottaway in Hamilton, Ont., and they had a daughter; d. 15 Aug. 1925 in London, Ont.

 

The Prometheus of Canadian politics during the first quarter of the 20th century, Sir Adam Beck brought the inestimable benefit of cheap electric light and power to the citizens of Ontario through a publicly owned utility, the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. He had to fight continuously to build Hydro, as it came to be called, but supported by municipal allies he succeeded in creating one of the largest publicly owned integrated electric systems in the world. Brusque and overbearing, he made many enemies in the process, even amongst his friends, as he rammed his projects forward, frequently over the objections of the governments he notionally served. His ruthless determination to expand Hydro, with little regard to the cost, led eventually to a movement to rein him in. He spent his last years pinned down before three public inquiries as lawyers, accountants, and political adversaries picked over every Hydro expenditure. These public humiliations broke his spirit but failed to diminish his enormous popularity. Adam Beck more than any other public figure in Ontario reshaped the institutional life of the province by making electricity a public utility and legitimizing, through his accomplishments, public ownership as an effective instrument of policy throughout Canada.

 

Beck came from an enterprising immigrant family of builders and makers. In 1829 Frederick and Barbara Beck had emigrated from the Grand Duchy of Baden (Germany) to upstate New York, and then had moved to the Pennsylvania Dutch community of Doon (Kitchener) in Upper Canada, where they settled on a farm and built a sawmill. Their son Jacob, who had stayed behind to work first as a doctor’s apprentice and later in the mills and locomotive works of Schenectady, joined them in 1837. A few miles from his parents, in Preston (Cambridge), he opened a foundry. When fire destroyed it, his friends rallied and he was able to rebuild bigger than before. His first wife, Caroline Logus, whom he married in January 1843, died soon after the birth of a son, Charles. In 1843 Beck had recruited a skilled iron moulder from Buffalo, John Clare (Klarr), to join him; Clare would cement the alliance by marrying his sister in September 1845. With Clare and another partner (Valentine Wahn) running the business, Beck returned to tour his homeland, where he met Charlotte Hespeler, the sister of his Preston neighbour, merchant-manufacturer Jacob Hespeler. When Charlotte came out to Canada, she and Beck were wed, in October 1845; a daughter, Louisa, was born in 1847, followed by two sons, George and William. In a move typical of his venturing spirit, Jacob suggested relocating his company closer to the projected line of the Grand Trunk Railway, but Clare refused. So in 1854 Beck dissolved the partnership and bought 190 acres on the route of the railway ten miles west of Berlin (Kitchener). There he laid out a town-site, which he named Baden, and built a foundry, a grist mill, and a large brick house. Beck’s businesses flourished on the strength of iron orders from the railway, and a brickyard and machine shop were eventually added. It was in this thriving hamlet that Adam Beck was born in 1857.

 

Adam passed a bucolic childhood exploring the edges of the millpond with his brothers, poking about the sooty recesses of the foundry with the workmen, and horseback-riding with his sister. He was sent off to attend William Tassie*’s boarding school in Galt (Cambridge), where he showed no particular distinction; a slow and indifferent student, he preferred riding to reading. His formal education ended at Rockwood Academy, near Guelph. On his return to Baden, his father, who abhorred idleness, set him to work as a groundhog (a moulder’s apprentice) in the foundry. It was said by those who knew Adam that he inherited his enterprising spirit, his determination and visionary ability, and some of his sternness from his father, and a love of public service from his mother. Adam’s career as a moulder came to an end with the failure of his father’s businesses in 1879. At age 63 Jacob Beck, unbowed, started afresh once again, this time as a grain merchant in Detroit. Louisa and the youngest members of the family, Jacob Fritz and Adam, accompanied their parents; one of the older boys, William, stayed in Baden to run the cigar-box manufactory he had started in 1878. Adam returned to work briefly in Toronto as a clerk in a foundry and then as an employee in a cigar factory. With $500 in borrowed money, he joined William and their cousin William Hespeler in a cigar-box factory in Galt in 1881. Hespeler eventually left the partnership, but the two Becks persisted and built a modestly successful business. In 1884, with the inducement of a five-year tax exemption and free water, they moved their works to London, Ont., to be closer to the centre of the province’s cigar-making industry. William left soon afterwards to open a branch in Montreal and for a time Adam worked in partnership with his brother George; from 1 Jan. 1888 Adam was the sole proprietor of William Beck and Company, which later became the Beck Manufacturing Company Limited.

 

Cigar boxes would appear to be a fragile basis on which to build a fortune or a political career. The smoking of cigars, however, was a major rite of male sociability during the Victorian era. Earlier in the century cigars consumed in Canada had originated in Germany and later they came from the United States. The imposition of the National Policy tariff of 25 per cent on rolled cigars but not on tobacco leaf led to the migration of the industry to Canada. London was one of the first major centres where the leaf grown in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin entered the dominion, and it was there and in Montreal [see Samuel Davis*] that the domestic cigar-making business took root. In London the industry would reach its peak around 1912, when 22 companies, employing 1,980 workers, produced more than 20 million cigars. Situated on Albert Street, the Beck factory was essentially a veneer plant. Cedar logs and specialty woods from Spain and Mexico arrived by rail, were stored in the yard for seasoning, and then were peeled into strips to make not only cigar boxes but also cheese boxes and veneer for furniture and pianos. Toiling side by side with his workers (25 in 1889, rising to 125 in 1919), Beck built a thriving business, taking orders, setting up equipment, manhandling logs, and wheeling the finished boxes to customers. (He himself was a non-smoker, an enduring fatherly influence.) Eventually the company supplied all of the main cigar makers with the boxes, labels, and bands in which their products were shipped. Until he was 40, business was Adam Beck’s main preoccupation.

 

In the years after 1897 he emerged much more prominently in public life. He got out more, married, offered himself for public office, and turned the management of his firm over to his brother Jacob. An avid sportsman, he had played baseball as a boy; in London he played tennis and lacrosse and, with a group of bachelors, organized a toboggan club. On the advice of his doctor he took up riding again for relaxation. But nothing with Adam Beck could ever be just a recreation – he quickly became a breeder of racehorses and a competitive jumper. His social life revolved around the London Hunt Club where, in 1897, he became master of the hounds, a post he would hold until 1922. A mutual love of horses and riding brought the muscular Beck and the slim, strikingly beautiful Lillian Ottaway together at a jumping meet; she was 23 years his junior. After a whirlwind courtship they were married in 1898 at Christ’s Church Anglican Cathedral in Hamilton. Lillian, who had been raised in Britain, spoke with a slight English accent, had a lovely soprano voice, rode with gusto, and carried herself regally. Her mother, Marion Elizabeth Stinson*, from a wealthy Hamilton family, had married an English barrister, who died before Lillian was born. At 18 Lillian returned to Canada when her mother married a prominent Hamilton lawyer. After a honeymoon tour of Europe, Beck triumphantly brought his bride to London, Ont., where they promptly acquired the most ostentatious house in the city, Elliston, the estate of Ellis Walton Hyman*, and proceeded to make it even grander, with his and hers stables, under a new name, Headley. From being a sporting, business-possessed bachelor, Beck, with his young wife on his arm, moved effortlessly into the very centre of London society. She sang in the cathedral choir, their house and grounds were the envy of the city, and they made a romantic and devoted couple at dinners and hunt club affairs. Winston Churchill stayed with them on his lecture tour of 1900-1, as did Governor General Lord Minto [Elliot*] and Lady Minto in 1903.

 

As Adam Beck came out into society, he developed an interest in public life. In provincial politics London had long been a Conservative fief – William Ralph Meredith held the seat from 1872 to 1894. The Liberals captured it in a by-election when Meredith was appointed to the bench. At the next general election, in March 1898, Beck entered the lists for the Conservatives, ultimately falling 301 votes short of beating the Liberal Francis Baxter Leys. Although he perhaps should not have expected a better result, having no previous political experience or strong organization, he left the field feeling slightly wounded. Nevertheless, his political energies were channelled into the Victoria Hospital Trust, to which he was appointed by the city in 1901. Here he scandalized supporters with his aggressive approach towards patients’ rights, his attacks on hospital inefficiency, and his hands-on way of managing repairs economically. It is said that Beck, realizing that he was not likely to be reappointed, ran for mayor to outflank his opposition. In any case, he offered himself and was elected in January 1902. Making few promises, preferring instead to be judged by his works, he plunged into the first of what would be three one-year terms. His administration was marked by a vigorous, reforming tone that discomfited the aldermanic coterie. He promoted civic beautification by offering a prize from his own purse for a garden competition. He persuaded the city to take over the operation of the London and Port Stanley Railway when the private operator’s lease expired. He cleaned out the fire department, promoted public health, and became involved in the leadership of the Union of Canadian Municipalities, whose annual convention he brought to London in 1904. Beck thus learned the political craft at the top of local politics, as a mayor without a long apprenticeship. He entered public life as an oppositionist, a critic who used his personal popularity to drive his reluctant colleagues forward and to cleanse the municipal stables. Despite his class position as a manufacturer, in politics he developed the style of a populist champion of the ordinary citizen against the establishment. Although one might have glimpsed intimations of his future in these London years, it would have required an extremely vivid imagination to see in this maverick local politician the system-building Napoleon of provincial politics that history would know as Sir Adam Beck.

 

In the election of May 1902 the leader of the Conservative party, James Pliny Whitney*, encouraged Beck to run again, with the offer of a cabinet post. Although the party as a whole was unsuccessful, the popular Beck beat Francis Leys by 131 votes and thus, for the next two and a half years, he would serve as both mayor and mpp of London. It was in his capacity as mayor of a southwestern Ontario industrial city that he came in contact with a group of activists from his home district of Waterloo County who had become agitated by the hydroelectric power question. Led by the manufacturer Elias Weber Bingeman Snider and the enthusiast Daniel Bechtel Detweiler, the anxious businessmen and municipal politicians of the industrial centres of the Grand River valley had begun to organize themselves to obtain Niagara power that they believed would otherwise go to Toronto and Buffalo. They had met in 1902 to study the situation, and then formed common cause with the politicians of Toronto concerned about private monopoly. At first they hoped the provincial government could be persuaded to undertake the distribution of cheap power to the municipalities. Talks with the Liberal premier, George William Ross*, who refused to take on the inevitable debt, convinced them that if they wanted control over electrical distribution they would have to do the job themselves. Beck went as an observer to the first meeting of this group, the Berlin Convention of February 1903, a gathering of 67 delegates representing all of the main towns and cities in southwestern Ontario; he came away an active convert to municipal intervention. In response to this public pressure, in June the Ross government passed legislation (drafted by Snider) authorizing a commission of investigation to explore the possibilities of cooperative municipal action and a statutory framework within which the municipalities could create a permanent commission to operate a distribution system. Snider was the obvious choice as chair of this Ontario Power Commission, which more frequently went by his name. Beck along with Philip William Ellis, a Toronto jewellery manufacturer and wholesaler, and William Foster Cockshutt, a Brantford farm-implements manufacturer, were chosen by the municipal delegates to serve with Snider as commissioners. Thus, in the fall of 1903, Beck began a crash course on the power question. It was a subject ideally suited to his developing temperament, and he could readily identify with the professed goals: economic electrical light and power, equity between the different manufacturing regions, and the welfare of the common people. The vision of sensible, non-partisan, and public-spirited businessmen and municipal leaders (such as himself) appealed to Beck. He could also subscribe to the implicit attack on monopoly, social privilege, and finance capitalism. This was a moral universe in which he felt right at home.

 

As the Snider commission began working out the details of a municipally owned hydroelectric distribution system in 1904, Beck sensed the weakness of the voluntary, cooperative structure. It lacked the authority to order the power companies to surrender sensitive information vital to the enterprise, and the municipalities could not agree on much for long. Financing a collective municipal enterprise without provincial backing would be fraught with difficulties. The more he studied the question the more he became convinced that the province would have to play a major role, not just facilitate municipal activity. This growing conviction coincided with a major shift in the political landscape. The Liberal party was losing its hold over the electorate. Rooted in rural Ontario, it had trouble coming to grips with issues important to the rapidly growing urban constituencies. The Conservatives had crept to within three seats of upsetting the Liberals in 1902. In January 1905 Whitney’s Conservatives swept to a landslide victory, capturing 69 of the 98 seats. In London, the increasingly popular Adam Beck won with a plurality of 566 votes.

 

The hydroelectric question had not figured prominently in the campaign. The change in government, however, catapulted Beck into a position of some influence provincially. On 8 February he was made a minister without portfolio in the new administration. After the election, Whitney grandly promised that the water-power of Niagara “should be as free as air” and be developed for the public good. “It is the duty of the Government,” Beck insisted in his populist fashion, “to see that development is not hindered by permitting a handful of people to enrich themselves out of these treasures at the expense of the general public.” To that end Whitney cancelled an eleventh-hour water-power concession granted by the Ross government and on 5 July he appointed Beck to head a hydroelectric commission of inquiry. It was empowered to take an inventory of available water-power sites, gather information on existing companies in terms of their capital costs, their operating expenses, and the prices they charged, and recommend an appropriate provincial policy with respect to the generation and distribution of hydroelectricity. Beck continued to be a member of the Snider commission but clearly he had moved on to a broader conception of the power question; he now wielded a much more powerful regulatory and investigative instrument and could act with the authority of the province. Henceforth he would be the undisputed leader of the hydro movement.

 

The Snider commission, which reported first, in March 1906, recommended the construction of a cooperatively owned hydroelectric system linking the major municipal utilities to generating facilities at Niagara under the control of a permanent power commission financed and managed by the subscribing municipalities. In the weeks that followed, the Beck commission, in the first of its five regional reports, and more particularly the activities of Beck himself, superseded the Snider notion of a municipal cooperative. Beck’s initial report, on Niagara and southwest Ontario, prepared the way instead for provincial action by pointing out the excessive rates charged by private power companies, and the inherent difficulties of government regulation. He gave an important speech in Guelph urging direct provincial intervention. He inspired a mass meeting of municipal representatives at Toronto city hall and, on 11 April, a demonstration on the lawn of the legislature demanding that the province empower a commission to generate, transmit, and sell power to the municipalities at the lowest possible cost, and regulate the prices charged by the private providers. Beck also orchestrated a deluge of petitions from the municipal councils. All of this effort was intended to soften up his colleagues in cabinet, most of whom harboured deep suspicions about public ownership in general and Beck’s movement in particular. The strategy worked. The Whitney government hesitantly introduced legislation on 7 May (Act to provide for the transmission of electrical power to municipalities) which, in effect, created a three-member provincial crown corporation (though it was not called that), the Hydro-Electric Power Commission. Operating outside the usual civil service constraints and with extensive powers of expropriation, this body would have full powers to purchase, lease, or build transmission facilities financed by provincial bonds. Local utilities could buy power from the commission only after municipal voters had approved the contract and the enabling financial by-law. Astonishingly, Beck’s extraparliamentary organization cowed even the opposition: the bill passed unanimously in less than a week.

 

In organizational terms Beck had pushed on beyond an unwieldy municipal cooperative to a provincial crown agency. In doing so he had alienated some of his friends, especially in the way he had shoved Snider aside and unilaterally appropriated studies done by the Snider commission for his own investigation. Nonetheless he had created a broad coalition of municipal activists behind his determination to build a publicly owned, provincial system. But there were many possible forms, involving different degrees of state intervention, that the organization might take. The government remained ambivalent, guarded, and internally divided. What eventually emerged as Ontario Hydro, however, was Beck’s creation over the opposition of his cabinet colleagues. On 7 June 1906 Whitney appointed Beck chairman of the new commission, as expected. Needed engineering expertise would come from Cecil Brunswick Smith. And to balance Beck’s populism and rein in his enthusiasms, Whitney also persuaded a reluctant John Strathearn Hendrie of Hamilton to serve, Beck’s peer as a horseman, a man of his wife’s class, and a known supporter of the private power companies, among them the Hamilton Electric Light and Cataract Power Company Limited [see John Patterson*].

 

The private interests, especially the group promoting the only Canadian firm at Niagara, the Electrical Development Company of Ontario Limited from Toronto, having failed in their first attempts to derail Beck, now bent their minds to seeking some reasonable accommodation with the government. There were many in the cabinet, the premier included, who were sympathetic to this point of view. The Electrical Development Company was in a precarious financial position; a collapse would be a costly blot on the province. Whitney insisted that every consideration be given the company in negotiating the contract for power in early 1907 with the winning bidder, the American-based Ontario Power Company, and then with respect to the construction of the transmission line. In each case negotiations failed. The premier did not conceive of his policy as a guerre à outrance against the private interests. He believed in talking tough, but in the end was willing to come to terms. Unlike Beck, Whitney was a practitioner of brokerage politics. Beck, a newly formed ideologue, was not prepared to bargain away what had formed in his mind as a just alternative to private control. It was possible that neither of them knew the truth about themselves, though in time they came to a realization of their honest differences. For his part Beck had to manoeuvre against the wishes of his premier and colleagues in cabinet. From their point of view he could be unpleasant, ruthless, even unprincipled. He would change his mind without notice, withhold information, go back on deals, and alternately retreat in a sulk or play the rude bully.

 

Beck proved a formidable champion. The Toronto market was a key element in his grand scheme. Without access, which the city wanted, he could not deliver cheap electricity to southwestern towns, but Toronto’s system was controlled by the Electrical Development Company. In the resulting contest over a proposed by-law to fund a municipal network powered by Hydro, Beck’s emotional, simplistic rhetoric was a telling factor. He also profited from the ineptitude and arrogance of his corporate opponents in Electrical Development, Frederic Nicholls, Sir Henry Mill Pellatt*, and William Mackenzie, whose financial reputations had already taken a beating from the royal commission on life insurance in 1906. During the winter of 1907-8 by-laws endorsing the contracts with Ontario Hydro were approved by municipal ratepayers with huge majorities in Toronto and elsewhere. Hydro policy also proved extremely popular in the election of June 1908, in which the government increased both its popular vote and its number of seats. Beck now had a dual mandate from the municipal and provincial electorates. When a desperate Mackenzie amalgamated several enterprises into one utility in 1908 and then belatedly attempted to forestall provincial ownership with a counterproposal to build the system and distribute power under government regulation, the offer came too late. The government had gone so far it could not safely turn back; a publicly owned transmission company would have to be created. Mackenzie and his colleagues had played the game badly and when they lost, after having been given every possible consideration, they turned viciously on Beck and the government. Their quixotic campaign to undermine provincial credit in British financial circles, and then to seek disallowance in Ottawa of key Hydro legislation, served only to bring Whitney and Beck closer together and solidify the political foundations of Ontario Hydro.

 

Using electricity generated by the Ontario Power Company, the Hydro-Electric Power Commission became an operating entity in a series of theatrical turning-on ceremonies that began in the fall of 1910 and continued into 1911 as successive towns and cities were wired into the grid. Each of these civic festivals became an opportunity for Beck to recount the triumph of public power over private greed. His hostility towards the private power companies, who were now his competitors, and his shameless self-promotion as the champion of “The People’s Power,” deeply troubled his colleagues. Moreover, his independent conduct raised awkward questions about the precise relationship between the management of Hydro and the government. Before the election of December 1911 Whitney floated a trial balloon, suggesting that the time had come to make Hydro a department of government, under the full control of the cabinet. Beck did not openly attack the proposal, but once he was acclaimed in his own seat and the government was re-elected, his municipal allies, acting through the Ontario Municipal Electric Association, formed in early 1912, launched an aggressive campaign on his behalf; it not only supported Beck as chairman of a quasi-independent commission, but also (in February) brought him a handsome $6,000 salary, without requiring his resignation from the legislature.

 

With this vote of confidence from the people and somewhat more reluctantly from the premier, Beck struggled within a competitive environment to build Hydro through dramatic price cutting and political showmanship. In his campaign to expand consumption Beck became an electrical Messiah: in speeches and publicity he extolled the power of abundant cheap light to brighten the homes of working people; cheap electricity would create more jobs in the factories of the province; hydro would lighten the drudgery of the barn and the household; and electric railways radiating out from the cities into the countryside would create more prosperous, progressive farms even as light and power made brighter, cleaner cities. With his famous travelling exhibits of the latest electrical appliances (popularly called circuses), rural tests, and local Hydro stores (where household appliances were on display), and in parade floats, newspaper and magazine advertisements, and a host of speeches, Beck presented public hydro as an elixir, but he was no snake-oil salesman. He understood the economics of the electric industry better than his competitors or his critics. Along with utilities magnate Samuel Insull of Chicago, Beck realized that the more electricity he could sell, the cheaper it would cost to acquire. It was a difficult lesson to teach. He even had to browbeat some of the more fiscally conservative municipal utilities, most notably the Toronto Hydro-Electric Power Commission, to pass the lower rates on to consumers. In the process he continued to expand his publicly owned system at the expense of his private competitors.

 

In Toronto and across the province, Beck acquired a more ardent following than the government itself. At home he and his family continued to rise in public esteem. London’s municipal electric utility, which received its first hydro from Niagara in 1910, became a model for progressive business promotion and Beck loyalism. Personally Beck maintained an active interest in civic politics. When the water commissioners proposed a treatment facility to take more water from the tainted Thames River, he boldly promised to find enough clean fresh water in artesian wells. The city took him up on this offer, voting $10,000 for the purpose. In 1910 Beck drilled the wells, installed electrical pumps, and brought the project in on time and on budget, or rather, he absorbed the excess costs himself. In two grand gestures Beck brought light and water to the growing city in the same year.

 

However, it was in the field of public health that the Becks made their greatest contribution. Sometime in l907 or 1908 the Becks’ young daughter, Marion Auria, contracted tuberculosis. Her worried parents sought out the best specialists in America and in Europe. Mercifully her case responded to treatment. But the Becks became concerned for those families in their community who lacked the means to provide their children with medical care. Everyone, they believed, ought to have close access to first-class tuberculosis facilities. Accordingly, in 1909 Adam and Lillian Beck organized the London Health Association to provide a sanatorium. From local individuals and organizations they raised $10,000 (led by their own donation of $1,200), the city contributed $5,000, and the province added $4,000. On 5 April 1910 Governor General Lord Grey* opened the Queen Alexandra Sanatorium in the village of Byron, west of the city. For the rest of their lives the Becks remained deeply attached to this sanatorium and made its maintenance and expansion their passion. As president from its inception to his death in 1925 and a sometimes overbearing physical presence on the weekends, Adam Beck personally oversaw all major and even many minor renovations.

 

A society beauty, Lillian Beck also continued to be a fiercely competitive horsewoman. The Beck stables produced a string of outstanding hunter-class horses that won Adam and Lillian international recognition. In 1907 they competed in the Olympia Horse Show in London, England, where Lillian’s horse My Fellow won its class. To remain competitive, the Becks leased an estate in England in 1913 to maintain their equestrian operation at the highest international standards. From that time onward Lillian and Marion lived about half the year in England; Adam paid extended visits when his schedule permitted. In 1914 their prize-winning horses Melrose, Sir Edward, and Sir James were counted among the finest middleweight and heavyweight hunters in the world. The Becks also competed regularly at the National Horse Show in New York City where, in 1915, Lillian was named a judge over chauvinist protests, famously breaking down the barriers of this once exclusively male domain.

 

Adam Beck’s contribution to London had been publicly recognized in an unprecedented dinner given in his honour on 25 Nov. 1913. At this glittering affair, attended by 500 in the Masonic Temple, Anglican bishop David Williams* proclaimed him “incorrupt and incorruptible”; Roman Catholic bishop Michael Francis Fallon* eulogized his vision, character, and charitable works; and the mayor and city council gave him a silver candelabra and tray. While the ladies looked on from the galleries, the head-table guests were served their dinners from a small electric railway. According to the London Free Press, this banquet was “the most remarkable and spontaneous demonstration of affection and regard ever tendered a public man in London.” Visibly moved, Beck spoke briefly of his satisfaction at lightening the load of the poor, the housewife, the farmer, the merchant, and afflicted children, and pledged to carry on the fight to create a renewed citizenship based upon “service, progress and righteousness.” These local honours were crowned the following year when he received a knighthood in the king’s June honours list. He was now Sir Adam, the Power Knight, and Lillian formally became what she had long been in style, Lady Beck. Charging at fences on horseback, or driving the rapidly growing Hydro system forward, Sir Adam Beck was at the height of his power in 1914.

 

Re-elected by a large majority in the general election of 29 June 1914, Beck directed a major structural transformation of Hydro during his next term with fewer constraints than in the past. Whitney, who died in September, was replaced by a less adept premier, William Howard Hearst*. Beck’s nemesis, John Hendrie, resigned from the Hydro-Electric Power Commission to become lieutenant governor. Beck thus had a much freer rein, though Hearst did not include him in his cabinet. Hydro’s head set about expanding his organization with a powerful lobby, the Ontario Municipal Electric Association, zealously behind him. Beck and the regional municipalities fixed upon electric radial railways as a major force for modernization and rural reconstruction. In 1913 the Hydro Electric Railway Act and amendments to the Ontario Railway Act had prepared the way legislatively. A web of light lines that connected farms, towns, and cities and delivered transportation at cost under a public authority had enormous appeal and Beck became its most ardent hot gospeller. He managed to have the abject London and Port Stanley Railway electrified as a glowing prototype. Coincidentally the baseload of the proposed railways would greatly increase electric consumption and drive Hydro to a new stage of development as a fully integrated regional monopoly that provided hydroelectric generation, transmission, and distribution services as well as high-speed transportation. This grandiose vision of electrical modernization had commensurate costs, which Beck somewhat disingenuously managed to minimize.

 

In 1914 Hydro and the municipalities received legislative permission, subject to ratepayer approval, to enter into the inter-city electric railway business. By stages Hydro acquired the legal authority to generate power as well as distribute it through the purchase of a utility (Big Chute) on the Severn River and the construction of regional power stations in 1914-15 at Wasdell Falls, also on the Severn, and Eugenia Falls, near Flesherton. These were sideshows, however; the centrepiece of the proposed integrated system remained Niagara. In 1914 Hydro quietly began planning for a massive hydroelectric station there, but there was precious little water left at Niagara to turn the turbines. A treaty negotiated with the United States in 1908 limited the amount that might be diverted for power purposes; the three existing private companies at Niagara had already acquired, between them, the rights to most of the Canadian quota. Beck had made the development of the hydroelectric system into the central issue on the Ontario political agenda when conflict broke out in Europe in August 1914.

 

The Becks threw themselves wholeheartedly into the war effort. In 1912 the military authorities had cleverly put Adam’s organizing talents and his knowledge of horses together by naming him to a remount committee. At the outset of the war he took charge of acquiring horses for the Canadian army in the territory from Halifax to the Lakehead. In June 1915 he assumed this responsibility for the British army as well, an appointment that brought him an honorary colonelcy. Inevitably, allegations arose that his agency either paid too much for horses or acquired unsuitable remounts, but the claims were not substantiated upon investigation. Together Adam and Lillian Beck also made personal contributions to the war effort, donating all of their champion horses to the cause. General Edwin Alfred Hervey Alderson, for example, rode Sir James, Adam’s most famous horse. Lady Beck, in England for most of the war, working with the Canadian Red Cross Society, devoted herself particularly to ensuring that wounded veterans were welcomed into British country homes for their convalescence. The Queen Alexandra Sanatorium in Ontario was expanded in 1917-18 to accommodate the rehabilitation of wounded returnees. The arrangement worked well, but in the later stages of the war battle-hardened veterans began to complain about the hospital’s stern regimen, much of which was attributed to Sir Adam’s “Germanic” direction. In 1916, for his local and patriotic help, Beck had received an lld from the Western University of London, which he served as a director and later as chancellor.

 

At first the war had relatively little impact on Beck’s plans for Hydro. The municipal elections of January 1917, for example, revolved around the approval of by-laws for Hydro radials and vague authorization for the future generation of power at Niagara. Then the rapidly increasing power demands of wartime industrialization provided the overriding urgency, later in 1917, to overcome opposition to the purchase of one of the power companies at Niagara (Ontario Power) and forge ahead with the construction of a large diversion canal and a world-scale plant at Queenston, which would make much more efficient use of the available water. Shamelessly using the moral purpose of the war, Beck hemmed in his private competitors even more, setting the stage for their eventual acquisition, though the negotiations would be unduly drawn out, litigious, and embittered. However, war, inflation, railway nationalization, and the demands of automotive technology for better roads combined to damp enthusiasm for the radial railway project. Moreover, the problem for the Hydro-Electric Commission now was not finding ways of selling surplus power, but rather keeping up with galloping industrial, commercial, municipal, and domestic demand. When the war ended, Hydro’s transformation into an integrated utility producing as well as transmitting its own power was much closer to realization. Its corresponding administrative growth had been grandly marked by the ornate office building begun on University Avenue in Toronto in 1914 and occupied in 1916. Sir Adam had a good war, but he emerged from it a wounded politician.

 

From the very beginning there had been critics of the Hydro project and Beck’s management of it. Canadian private producers and British investors placed obstacles in the way during the early stages. As Hydro advanced, it attracted new critics: private power advocates from the United States, who viewed the progress of public ownership in Ontario with alarm. In 1912 a New York State committee of investigation, the Ferris committee, issued a sharply critical report. A year later a prominent American hydroelectric expert, Reginald Pelham Bolton, denounced the unorthodox financing of Hydro in An expensive experiment . . . (New York). Between 15 July and 23 Dec. 1916 James Mavor, a professor of political economy at the University of Toronto, published a devastating critique of Hydro’s lack of accountability, dictatorial methods, and tendency to subvert democracy in a series of articles in the Financial Post (Toronto), later reprinted as Niagara in politics . . . (New York, 1925).

 

In the final analysis Beck was his own worst enemy. His authoritarian management style invited criticism. In 1916 the provincial auditor, James Clancy, threw up his hands at Hydro’s accounting practices. Beck embarrassed his premier and government with surprises. He was not one to compromise, even with his friends. A scrapper and sometimes a bully, he intimidated his staff and his municipal allies, and regarded the government and the legislature with disdain. He was more popular and more powerful than the premier, and he acted as if he knew it. Hydro, in his mind, was bigger than any government and he was the personal embodiment of Hydro. Cautious people who wanted to know in advance how much projects would cost were battered into submission and put on his list of enemies; when the bills added up to two or three times the initial estimates, there were always convoluted exculpatory explanations. Dismissing his censors, Beck stormed ahead, fuming with rage at the conspiracies mounted against him and bristling with indignation at the slightest criticism. Even Beck’s defenders tired of his haughty, domineering ways. A frustrated Hearst, when accused by Beck of hindering Hydro’s development in the spring of 1919, rebuked Sir Adam for never taking him into his confidence, for his presumptuous attitude towards parliament, and for saddling others with responsibility for Hydro’s mounting debt. Beck responded by withdrawing his support from the government and by announcing his intention to run independently in the upcoming election.

 

The election of October 1919 came as a devastating blow to Beck and, potentially, to his project. As an independent in London, he was defeated by his sole opponent, Dr Hugh Allan Stevenson, the Labour candidate, who benefited from disaffected Tory votes, some nastiness about Beck’s ethnic background, and a vocal uprising amongst the returned soldiers in the Queen Alexandra Sanatorium. The timing could not have been worse. Beck’s massive Queenston hydroelectric station lay only half completed and the radial railway scheme had stalled; however, Beck’s enormous popularity, which transcended party lines, saved him. The victorious but leaderless United Farmers of Ontario initially sounded him out as a possible premier, but both sides quickly thought better of it. Although Labour strongly supported Hydro, the UFO were much more reserved, especially about Beck’s radial-railway enthusiasms; they preferred improved roads. As chairman of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission, Beck had also been an mpp and, for much of the time, a minister without portfolio. The election broke that political connection with the government in power. The eventual premier, Ernest Charles Drury*, had little choice but to keep Beck on as chairman, but he appointed a tough ex-soldier, Lieutenant-Colonel Dougall Carmichael, to the commission to keep him in line.

 

Over the next four years the new government and the tempestuous Power Knight remained locked in combat. For much of the time William Rothwell Plewman, a reporter for the Toronto Daily Star, acted as unofficial mediator between Hydro and the premier, who was determined that Hydro do the government’s bidding and not the other way around. On 6 July 1920 the government announced a royal commission to reconsider Beck’s radial program in light of the rising costs, disappointing experience in other jurisdictions, and technological change. Beck immediately orchestrated a campaign of resistance. In emergency meetings on the 8th at Toronto city hall and the Hydro building, for instance, the Hydro-Electric Radial Association registered its “strong disapproval” of the commission. Provincial treasurer Peter Smith responded for the government that it would not be stampeded. In July 1921 the commission, chaired by Robert Franklin Sutherland, produced a report that was highly critical of radials and recommended construction of only a much reduced system. Meanwhile, Beck had wasted valuable political capital in an acrimonious takeover of Sir William Mackenzie’s Toronto Power Company Limited and its related electric and radial companies and in fighting the City of Toronto over an eight-track entry corridor for a mammoth radial system. Characteristically, he condemned the Sutherland report in an intemperate pamphlet and urged the municipalities not to let up in their campaign. The adverse report, a hostile provincial government, and defeats for radial by-laws (particularly in Toronto) in the municipal elections of January 1922 effectively put an end to Beck’s radial dream.

 

Drury, concerned at the spiralling costs of the Queenston hydroelectric plant, wanted an inquiry into this project as well. At first Beck agreed. However, when his hand-picked expert, Hugh L. Cooper, questioned the design, recalculated the costs upward, and insisted upon changes in the power canal to enhance capacity, Beck rejected his advice and appointed another consulting engineer. The turbines had begun to turn on the first phase of this huge project on 29 Dec. 1921, but there seemed to be no relation between the estimates Beck presented and the mounting bills; in one year the difference amounted to $20 million. Unable to explain the situation, Colonel Carmichael offered his resignation, which the premier refused. The cost of the undertaking, now much larger, had ballooned from the initial $20 million to $84 million and counting. Drury, who had to guarantee the bonds for the over-budget project and take political responsibility for it, insisted upon a commission of inquiry with a sweeping mandate to examine the overall operations of Hydro, not just Queenston. This commission, appointed in April 1922 and chaired by Liberal lawyer Walter Dymond Gregory, became in effect an adversarial audit of Beck’s management that involved scores of witnesses, produced thousands of pages of testimony, and ran into the middle of 1923.

 

These political setbacks were, in some respects, the least of his problems. On 17 Oct. 1921 his beloved wife had died from complications following surgery for pancreatitis. Sir Adam and Lady Beck had been a deeply devoted couple despite their often long absences from one another. Living in the Alexandra apartments next to the Hydro building, they had only just begun to settle into life together in Toronto society. Moreover, she had been the one mellowing influence in his life. He was devastated by the loss. A widower, he was now also the single parent of a fiercely independent teenager. With the check upon his temper in a Hamilton grave, he became more difficult and erratic in the face of his daughter’s defiance and the ascendancy of those he considered to be his political enemies. These were the years of Beck’s towering, black rages.

 

Beck had run Hydro as a private corporation. Honest and incorruptible personally, he nevertheless paid scant attention to the niceties of accounting. He would routinely spend funds authorized for one purpose on any project he deemed in the interests of Hydro, including local by-law campaigns. For Beck the ends justified the means. Meanwhile, his vision of a provincial, publicly owned hydroelectric monopoly that served the municipal utilities and provided power at the lowest possible cost had been largely realized. In 1923 Hydro served 393 municipalities and distributed 685,000 horsepower using facilities in which over $170 million had been invested. Beck was a magnificent builder. There could be no denying his accomplishments, though, as the hearings of the Gregory commission showed, his management style, planning, political methods, and accountability to the legislature could be questioned.

 

The vexations suffered at the hands of the UFO government eventually drew Beck back to the bosom of the Conservative party in self-defence. In the election of June 1923 he stood as a Conservative in his old London riding. The irony of a civil servant running as a candidate in opposition to the government was not lost on Drury or the Farmers’ Sun (Toronto), but Beck managed to get away with it. This time he won with a plurality of more than 7,000 votes – a wonderful personal vindication. George Howard Ferguson*’s Conservatives swept the province, and Beck returned to cabinet in July as a minister without portfolio. Ferguson brought the Gregory inquiry to an abrupt conclusion and made much of the fact that Sir Adam’s general stewardship of Hydro had been supported in the commission’s voluminous evidence and summary reports. Beck’s probity could be stressed while quietly the government used the critical aspects of Gregory’s reports to bring Hydro more fully within the framework of financial and political accountability.

 

Then, just when it seemed these clouds had passed over, Beck’s personal integrity came under attack from an unexpected source. Hydro secretary E. Clarence Settell absconded with $30,000 in Hydro funds and left a blackmailing letter itemizing Sir Adam’s alleged misdeeds. When he was apprehended in October 1924 heading for the border with his mistress, he added further charges to the indictment. Wounded by Settell’s treachery, and by now a very sick man, Beck had to endure yet another inquiry as judge Colin George Snider conducted an investigation of more than 40 specific allegations having to do with the private use of automobiles, misappropriation of public money, unauthorized expenditures, conflicts of interest in tendering, and irregularities in expense records. Issued in December, Snider’s report condemned Isaac Benson Lucas’s management of Hydro’s legal department and Frederick Arthur Gaby’s conflict of interest in a dredging contract within the engineering department, but it found no evidence of serious wrongdoing by Beck. Save for a few petty mistakes in his expense accounts, the commission exonerated him. Settell went to jail for three years. Although another attempt “to get” Sir Adam, in the words of the Toronto Globe, had failed, the critics continued the battle of the books against Hydro. Beck thundered back with vigorous refutations in pamphlets that put his fighting spirit on full display. Returning to London one night by train, he gestured in some excitement to his travelling companion and long-time ally Edward Victor Buchanan, head of London’s utilities: “Look out there! The lights in the farms. That’s what I’ve been fighting for.”

 

The political struggle and quarrels with his daughter over her determination to marry Strathearn Hay, whom he deemed unsuitable in part because he was related to the Hendrie family, exhausted Beck, whose health and mental outlook deteriorated. It took Howard Ferguson’s intervention to persuade him to attend Marion’s wedding in January 1925. Ordered to rest by his doctors, who had diagnosed his illness as pernicious anaemia, Beck went to South Carolina for a holiday in February, and then he underwent transfusion treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. There he brooded about his beloved Hydro, strategies for the hydroelectric development of the St Lawrence River, and the continuing machinations of the private power interests, and he grumbled that the premier and his colleagues in government were neglecting him. He was a broken man by his own admission.

 

In May, Beck quietly slipped back to his home in London, where he attempted to conduct Hydro business by telephone from his bedroom. He weakened rapidly over the summer and died on 15 Aug. 1925 in his 69th year. Beck’s passing shocked the province; the seriousness of his condition had not been widely understood. The death announcement occasioned a spontaneous outpouring of grief, with eulogies pouring in from every quarter. His obituaries filled pages in the newspapers. “Canada has not produced a greater man than the late Sir Adam Beck,” declared Saturday Night (Toronto) as it enshrined him in the national pantheon along with Sir John A. Macdonald*, Lord Mount Stephen [Stephen], and Sir William Cornelius Van Horne*. Ontario city halls were draped in black, the Hydro shops and offices closed in tribute, and in London business ceased for an hour. Thousands lined the streets for his funeral cortège. The ceremony at St Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, attended by all the major political figures of the province, was also broadcast over the radio. As his funeral train mournfully passed from London across Beck’s political heartland to Hamilton, where he was to be interred in Greenwood Cemetery under a granite cross beside his wife, farmers and their families paused from their toil and men swept their hats from their heads. The entire Toronto City Council attended his burial. It is a small irony that Beck lies in what he would have considered enemy ground, Hamilton, the last bastion of private power. But for once his wish to be beside his wife overcame his prejudices.

 

Sir Adam Beck’s death marked the end of an unusual period in Ontario politics, one in which the chairman of Hydro had exercised greater power and influence than the premier and commanded a broad-based, populist political following much stronger than any political party. In building Hydro, Beck almost succeeded in creating an institution that was a law unto itself and for a long time it would continue to demonstrate some of the characteristics of independence. He died a wealthy man with an estate valued at more than $627,000, although his manufacturing business had been in decline for some years. His salary from his chairmanship of Hydro over 20 years totalled $197,000. Some of his wealth may have come to him from his wife. After making numerous small bequests to relatives and charities, he left a trust fund of approximately half a million dollars to his daughter and her heirs.

 

Beck’s memory was kept alive by the Ontario Municipal Electric Association, Hydro, and the citizens of London. In 1934 Toronto and the Hydro municipalities raised a splendid monument to him that still commands University Avenue. This brooding statue, by Emanuel Otto Hahn*, and Beck’s grave in Hamilton became sites of regular pilgrimages and wreath-laying ceremonies by the heirs and successors to the OMEA as they struggled to perpetuate the notion of Hydro as a municipal cooperative. Hydro publications regularly stressed the vision and legacy of Beck during the era of growth after World War I; eventually the much enlarged power stations at Queenston were renamed Beck No.1 and Beck No.2 in his honour. In London a new collegiate was named after him and a nearby public school was named after Lady Beck. The Women’s Sanatorium Aid Society of London built a charming chapel, St Luke’s in the Garden, across from the Queen Alexandra Sanatorium in memory of the Becks in 1932. The sanatorium itself became the Beck Memorial Sanatorium in 1948. In print, W. R. Plewman’s vivid 1947 biography captured the greatness of Beck and the tempestuous nature of his personality. Merrill Denison*’s commissioned history of Hydro in 1960 established continuity between the transcendent hero figure at the beginning and the transforming, province-girdling corporation Hydro had become in the postwar era.

 

As the obituaries noted, Hydro itself was Beck’s greatest monument. He worried on his deathbed that political partisanship would overcome it and that Hydro as an independent entity would not survive. But in his absence it continued to flourish, firmly rooted in the towns and cities, along the back concessions, and amongst the merchants, workers, farmers, and homemakers of the province. Hydroelectricity generated and delivered by a crown corporation to municipally owned utilities at the lowest cost had become an Ontario institution that would outlive changing governments and passing ideologies. That had largely been Sir Adam Beck’s doing.

“THE VISIBLE VAGINA”

 

FRANCIS M. NAUMANN FINE ART

and DAVID NOLAN GALLERY

  

January 28 – March 20, 2010

Wednesday, January 27, 2010, 6-8 pm at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art

Thursday, January 28, 2010, 6-8 pm at David Nolan Gallery

 

THE VISIBLE VAGINA is an exhibition jointly organized by Francis M. Naumann and David Nolan. It is scheduled to open at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art (24 West 57th Street) and at David Nolan Gallery (527 West 29th Street) on January 28, 2010. Both shows will run concurrently, ending on March 20, 2010.

  

As the title of the exhibition suggests, the show is designed to make visible a portion of the female anatomy that is generally considered taboo―too private and intimate for public display. If shown at all, this part of a woman’s body is usually presented in an abject fashion, generally within the context of pornography, intended, in almost all cases, for the exclusive pleasure of men. The goal of this exhibition is to remove these prurient connotations, implicit even in works of art, ever since the pudendum was prudishly covered by a fig leaf. This gesture of false modesty, it should be noted, was devised and enforced entirely by men (not only in the case of classical sculpture, but also in the Bible, in which, immediately after their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve cover their genitalia with fig leaves). Indeed, until recently, virtually all depictions of the frontal nude female figure were made by men, but as this exhibition will demonstrate, that has changed dramatically in recent years.

  

The catalogue for THE VISIBLE VAGINA will trace this motif in art history from prehistoric to modern times. It includes an introduction by the exhibition organizers, as well as a highly informative and provocative essay by Anna C. Chave, Professor of Contemporary Art and Theory at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Inspiration for both the show and its catalogue came from Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues, a stage play that premiered off-Broadway in 1996, and was followed by various productions throughout the world (it appeared as a book in 1998). Ensler gave voice to countless women worldwide, honoring the complexity and mystery of their sexuality, basically encouraging them to consider their vaginas as powerful and expressive components of their physical selves, something not to be ashamed of, but to be proudly protected as an assertive and positive manifestation of their being. The idea for this show came from realizing that there was no better group to give vision to this goal than artists, many of whom had already incorporated imagery of the vagina in their works. Because of Ensler’s pioneering work in this field, the catalogue is dedicated to her, and proceeds from its sale shall be donated to V-Day, the organization she founded to end violence against women and girls throughout the world.

 

The following is a list of the artists whose work will be included in the exhibition (as well as a number whose work is only reproduced in the catalogue): Magdalena Abakanowicz, Ghada Amer, Beth B, Judie Bamber, Tracey Baran, Nancy Becker, Hans Bellmer, Mike Bidlo, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Brinker, Judy Chicago, Carol Cole, Maureen Connor, Gustave Courbet, Tee Corinne, John Currin, Sarah Davis, James Dee, Jay Defeo, Jim Dine, Leo Dohman, Marcel Duchamp, Carroll Dunham, Tracy Emin, India Evans, John Evans, Valie Export, Robert Forman, Neil Gall, Kathleen Gilje, Guerrilla Girls, Nancy Grossman, Barbara Hammer, Jane Hammond, Mona Hatoum, Stanley William Hayter, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, David Humphrey, Paul Joostens, Pamela Joseph, Mel Kendrick, Elisabeth Kley, Jeff Koons, Mark Kostabi, Shigeko Kubota, Zoe Leonard, Sherrie Levine, Lee Lozano, Henri Maccheroni, Chema Madoz, Réné Magritte, Gerard Malanga, Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Marcel Mariën, André Masson, Sophie Matisse, Ana Mendieta, Allyson Mitchell, Cathy de Monchaux, Vik Muniz, Wangechi Mutu, Gladys Nilsson, Yoko Ono, Pablo Picasso, Chloe Piene, Richard Prince, Daniel Ranalli, Oona Ratcliffe, Niki de Saint-Phalle, Katia Santibanez, Peter Saul, Naomi Savage, Egon Schiele, Carolee Schneemann, Mira Schor, Michelle Segre, Tom Shannon, Cindy Sherman, James Siena, Laurie Simmons, Kiki Smith, Julie Speed, Nancy Spero, Betty Tompkins, Kiyoshi Tsuchiya, John Tweddle, Tabitha Vevers, Douglas Vogel, Robert Watts, Hannah Wilke, Terry Winters, Beatrice Wood.

The Aylmer hydro ruins is located near the Deschênes Rapids. They are hard to miss since the path hugs the shore of the Ottawa River in the area next to the rapids. There are several places to stop and check things out, one of these offers a great view of the ruins of an old dam structure that was built in the late 1800s to harness hydroelectric power from the rapids. If the water is high and running fast (typically in spring), it is truly an impressive sight to see the force of the Ottawa River as it runs through these ruins. It is worth noting that there were plans to rebuild this dam across part of the river as recently as ten years ago (plans to do so fell apart in the face of local opposition).

 

[...]

 

In 1821, after the amalgamation of the North-West Company and the Hudson’s Bay Company, Hamar Hubble Day, an old fur trader, opened a small trading post on the Deschênes Portage. He went into business with another petty trader, Murdock McGillivray, and together until 1832 they traded furs in the Allumettes Lake Region and as far up as Lake Timiskaming. Having lost money in his dealings, Hamar Day broke off his association with McGillivray and left the Ottawa Region. The McConnell Brothers, who were very active in the timber industry on the Upper Ottawa, took up from where Day had left off and became part-time fur traders on the side. This lasted until approximately 18473.

 

H. Day operated a sawmill, a forge and a fulling mill at the Deschênes Rapids around 1828. Around 1840, Robert Conroy Senior seems to have followed in Day’s footsteps. Later on, around 1870, his two sons, Robert and William Conroy, had a large new sawmill built. From 1884 to 1888, they carried out improvements to increase the sawmill’s output capacity. During the same period, Narcisse Cormier operated a flour mill there. Wheat, oats and buckwheat, harvested by the region’s farms, were milled locally at Deschênes.

 

In 1895, the Deschênes Rapids industrial site was radically transformed. The site’s hydraulic powers were harnessed to produce electricity. The main shareholders of the Hull Electric Railway Company where William Conroy of Aylmer and Mr. Seybold of Ottawa. They decided to have a dam and hydro-electric power station built to supply electricity to the Town of Aylmer and to power the electric tramway network that was being planned to connect Aylmer, Hull and Ottawa. In 1899, the Canadian Pacific Railway bought out the Hull Electric Railway Company and ran it until 1926, when it was sold out to Canadian International Paper. In 1946, when the Hull Electric Company closed down, the Gatineau Power Company, a subsidiary of the CIP, was in charge of the site’s management.

I was recently tagged by Rebecca and here is my response.

 

The rules of this game were: if you're tagged, upload a photo saying you were tagged, put 10 random facts about yourself into the description, and tag 10 other people by adding them to the photo. I'm not much of a follower of rules and Rebecca has already tagged most of the people I would have tagged, so I will just give you the 10 random facts:

  

1. I have played the piano since I was 6 years old. I got the piano from one of my grandmothers and was taught to play by the other. I thought about studying music but found I wasn't good enough to make a decent living of it.

 

What I like most is to sit by the piano and improvise, it helps if I'm stressed or sad. Most of my songs are rather melancholic. I made my first song when I was seven, it was just one line and was supposed to sound oriental :-) I have written down some of the songs, but none of them are very original. The first song I wrote down, at 14, was one page long and was dedicated to a boy in my class who I had a crush on for several years. I wrote my best piece when I was 18 and gave the notes as a present to my grandmother who had taught me to play.

 

Recently my nerd of a husband wrote a Pre-Indo-European blues with the subtitle "The horse, the wheel and language blues" based on a book review. I made a tune to it, with all the blues clichés I could think of, and whenever I play it, he gets in a good mood. (I thought blues should have the opposite effect?)

 

2. I have sung in choirs most of my life. These days I sing in the church choir (which often consists of me alone).

 

3. I once won a limbo contest, but now I'm sadly unfit, so there's no chance I will be able to repeat that.

 

4. When I was fourteen we were in Morocco, and my father was offered 35 camels for me, luckily for me he rejected the offer.

 

5. I hate housework, so when we finally decided to hire a cleaning women, our house was a real mess.

 

6. I also hate woodeating ants and I am almost obsessive about killing them.

 

7. Like Rebecca, I'm interested in genealogy. One of my foremothers was Norway's most famous witch, Anne Pedersdotter, who was burned alive at the stake in the city of Bergen on the 7 April 1590.

 

8. I love reading about the Big Bang, nuclear physics and the space, even if I just understand a fracture of what I'm reading.

 

9. I'm an avid Dr Who fan, but I've only known the 9th and10th doctor.

 

10. I added the Gauguin painting www.flickr.com/photos/pubdolls/4298496293/ not only because of the colours, but because a copy of the painting (by one of my great aunts) is the picture I remember best from my grandparents home. Now it's mine, and below is the painting hanging on my staircase wall. Underneath it is a painting I did myself some years ago inspired by François Boucher (when I had a wall that needed something in those colours).

March 14, 1887 dawned gray and cold in Dedham, Massachusetts. It was a snappy Monday morning with the temperature at about 34 degrees. Shortly after 6:00 a.m., Boston & Providence Railroad engineer Walter White and his fireman Alfred Billings steamed their engine, the D.B. Torrey, the short distance from the Dedham engine house to the impressive stone edifice that was the Dedham depot of the Providence Railroad.

 

Engineer White, a 31-year veteran on the Dedham to Boston run, cautiously backed into the train of nine open-platform, red-varnished coaches that made up the 7:00 A.m. train to Boston. The yardman dropped the pin into the coupling and White and the Torrey were tied to the head end. This was the only day in the week when he would trail nine cars, for on Mondays the passenger load required one extra car.

 

The run was familiar to White. He’d covered the same route for three decades, and today, as usual, he would follow the 6:10 to Boston. His passengers would be businessmen, workingmen, and store girls - about 100 by the time they left Roslindale, the community halfway between Dedham and Boston’s Park Square Depot.

 

The D.B. Torrey was a trim little 440 American Type locomotive, the mainstay of American railroads of the 1880’s. She was built by the Rhode Island Locomotive Works in 1880 and weighed 35½ tons. She had just been fitted with a new stack, slightly smaller than her original, and this caused her to steam with a little more difficulty than usual. But this was the only thing out of the ordinary that morning, and it meant simply that Billings would labor more with the coal scoop and White wouldn’t have the power normally available.

 

Promptly at 7:00 a.m., the train of partially-filled wooden coaches chugged out of Dedham Square over the bridge across High Street and into the outskirts of town. It steamed through snow-covered meadows and crossed the iron bridge spanning Mother Brook. Billings watched the boiler pressure gauge needle dance between 90 and 105 pounds, down a bit from the normal pressure that powered the Torrey.

 

Back in the coaches, Conductor Myron Tilden and his assistants William Alden and Webster Drake busied themselves taking tickets, while brakeman John Tripp, Winfield Smith, and Elisha Annis remained alert for the engine whistle that would send them to the end platforms to wind the brakewheels. Their effort, added to the air brake on the Torrey, would be more than sufficient to stop the train under normal circumstances. The day of the automatic air brake was just dawning, and while mainline trains were equipped with such systems, branch trains had yet to be modernized.

 

At each of the closely spaced stations - Spring Street, West Roxbury, Highland, and Central - the train picked up more of its human cargo. Five stops after leaving Dedham the train stood in Roslindale station. By then, nearly 200 passengers occupied the eight coaches and one combination baggage and smoking car coupled to the end of the train.

 

White’s watch showed him seven minutes late. The timetable called for a 15 minute run from Dedham to Forest Hills, about a mile and a half from Roslindale. The extra car, the cool morning which made wheel bearings stiff, and the poor steaming of the Torrey had combined to lose time from White’s schedule. Regardless, he was better than halfway into Boston on a routine Monday morning in March.

 

Slowly, White notched the Torrey’s throttle out. The engine barked through a shallow earth cut just east of the station and began the slight downgrade toward Forest Hills. Out of the cut and onto a high embankment the train rattled above the frozen ice and snow covered meadows below.

 

About a quarter mile ahead, the single-track Dedham Branch crossed South Street on a spindly iron truss bridge known as the Bussey Bridge. It took its name from the old Bussey family farm that later was to become a part of the would-famous Arnold Arboretum. In earlier days, as a wooden bridge, it was sheathed in tin to prevent it from catching fire. The iron structure, which replaced it, was still known as the Tin Bridge.

 

The Bussey Bridge, toward which 200 souls in nine fragile coaches were heading, was by any standards, a peculiar structure. It crossed the street at an incredibly oblique angle, its spindly iron trusswork bridging a gap of some 120 feet between high granite abutments. So sharp was the angle of the span that the floor beam which ran from the center of the truss on one side rested on the end of the truss which supported the other side of the bridge. Its design was such that certain structural members carried a disproportionate share of the load of every locomotive and car passing over the structure. And this was a violation of the laws of physics and mechanics that would not be tolerated forever.

 

That March morning, Engineer White approached the old Tin Bridge at a cautious speed. It was a habit, arising from restrictions placed on the bridge prior to its rebuilding in 1876.

 

There was no indication whatever of any danger as the D. B. Torrey and her nine red coaches rolled toward the bridge. To the engine crew the bridge appeared as solid and safe as ever. White could see meadows stretching away on either side of the embankment, their pale, frozen grass surface punctuated occasionally by stands of bare maples and elms.

 

The familiar rumble White had heard as his engines crossed innumerable bridges during his career filled his ears as he passed over Bussey Bridge that morning. As the Torrey reached the Boston end of the span, however, White felt a sudden jarring of the engine’s front end, and as the drivers reached the far abutment there was a strong shock unlike anything he had ever felt passing over the bridge.

 

Immediately he looked back and saw the first car off the track, careening drunkenly behind him. His blood ran cold as he watched the second, third, and fourth cars dancing insanely, trailed by an ugly cloud of smoke and dust where five more cars loaded with passengers should be crossing the bridge,

 

Instinctively he knew that his train, save the first three or four cars, had gone through the bridge. In the seconds it took for the awesome spectacle to unfold, White’s hands pulled the reversing lever - the fastest way to bring the Torrey to a halt. By now the force of the writhing cars and their human cargo had snapped the coupling at the tender and the Torrey was free.

 

As the engine came to a halt, White’s reflexes told him there was nothing he and his fireman could do. He knew there was a Dedham-bound train with Engineer Tim Prince in the cab waiting for him at Forest Hills. It was loaded with laborers headed for Dedham to work on a bridge project. He knew too, that these husky workers might well mean the difference between life and death to those trapped in the coaches which lay in a heap beneath where the Bussey Bridge once stood.

 

Before the engine stopped, White threw the reversing lever ahead, yanked the throttle out, and the Torrey lunged forward again. White grabbed the whistle cord, and the polished brass steam whistle atop the Torrey’s dome screamed in anguish as she roared toward Forest Hills.

 

Woodcutters in the woods beside the tracks and residents along the line were stopped by the piercing wails of the whistle. They watched as the Torrey raced down the track, her engineer and fireman frantically waving and pointing back in the direction she had come from. That some kind of calamity had occurred was obvious.

 

In what seemed like seconds, the Torrey was at Forest Hills. White and Billings yelled to station agent William Worley that a train had gone through the bridge and to send Jim Prince’s three-car train with its laborers to the scene.

 

Immediately Prince had his engine barking at full throttle up the branch toward the ill-fated commuter train. White leaped from his cab and ran into the small frame depot where he ordered Worley to telephone for doctors and ambulances.

 

Five minutes later he was again aboard the Torrey, headed back to the scene to give what help he could to the dead and injured.

 

What met them when they returned was a ghastly panorama. Three cars teetered on the frozen roadbed, their wheels torn from beneath them, underbodies and platforms smashed to kindling. Behind the third car the roof of the fourth lay on roadbed, torn from the rest of the car body, which was some 50 feet below. The fifth through the ninth cars were either at the bottom of the embankment or in the chasm where the bridge had stood.

 

The rear car, which had been the smoker, was smashed, turned upside down. The next car was thrown on its side and stove in; the next car dropped square on its wheels and stood upright. The succeeding two cars were telescoped and lapped onto each other and a part of the sixth car was wedged between the telescope and the embankment. All the cars were smashed and broken, twisted and entwined with the iron beams and girders of the bridge. Broken rails, twisted and jagged bars of iron, and splintered wood combined with badly mangled dead and injured in a scene of horror.

 

Within minutes, spurred on by White’s alarm, help was arriving from everywhere. Residents and shopkeepers, workers and doctors from Roslindale arrived in time to extinguish one small fire and help in removing the injured. Hundreds worked feverishly to remove the wounded. A special train carrying doctors, hastily assembled by railroad officials from the professional buildings around Park Square Depot in Boston, arrived to render medical aid.

 

When all the passengers had been removed the dead and near-dead numbered 23. Most of the dead had been killed instantly. Some of the injured survived a few hours, one several days. Over 100 were injured, more than half of them seriously.

 

What caused this terrible disaster? The Boston Globe that evening speculated that a weakened span failed under the weight of the train.

 

The Massachusetts Board of Railroad Commissioners convened the day after the wreck and sat until April 4, gathering facts upon which to determine the cause. What it heard from survivors, railroad officials, the builder of the Bussey Bridge, and outside engineering experts was a story of an incredible collection of circumstances culminating in the tragic collapse.

 

The primary cause was determined to be a pair of iron hangers which formed an integral part of the supporting network of iron rods making up one of the two trusses upon which the rails rested. Improperly designed and manufactured, they weakened gradually with the passage of time and failed catastrophically that morning. The weight of the Torrey snapped the hangers, and the bridge immediately began to disintegrate as the train crossed the span.

 

The parade of witnesses described how the Boston & Providence in 1876 entered into a contract with one Edward Hewins, representing the Metropolitan Bridge Company, to rebuild the bridge. Testimony further revealed that he alone was the Metropolitan Bridge Company. When pressed on this point by the commissioners, Hewins testified it had been his intention to organize a bridge company at the time but never got around to doing it. The two trusses which made up the ill-fated bridge were actually fabricated by two separate iron works. The Commissioners found that the railroad had never investigated the Metropolitan Bridge Company and that no one involved in making the contract really knew enough about iron bridge building to pass intelligently on the structure’s design and specifications. In fact, it was generally admitted during the hearings that the company didn’t even employ an expert to review the design of the bridge once it had been built.

 

One railroad employee who had inspected the bridge regularly was a machinist who was not trained to look at key structural parts for signs of failure.

 

Six years earlier the Commission had recommended a series of structural tests for the bridge, which were never conducted. Crossties were spaced too far apart for safety. The bridge was not equipped with guardrails to catch the wheels of a derailed train and guide them safely across. And, tragically, the Westinghouse automatic air brake was not in operation on the train even though it was becoming more common on the nation’s railroads. Had it been in use, it might have prevented the fatal plunge of coaches into the chasm following the separation of the train from the engine.

 

Fire, the real horror of most train wrecks of the era, didn’t occur because the B & P followed a policy of bolting its coal-burning, car-heating stoves to the floor and bolting the doors shut, thereby, eliminating the possibility of hot coals igniting the wooden wreckage.

 

The wreck was a calamity for the Boston & Providence, which for almost twenty years previously had not had a train accident resulting in injury or loss of life to a passenger.

 

Today the Boston & Providence is long gone, along with its Dedham Branch to West Roxbury. Where once stood the Dedham depot, a municipal parking lot serves Dedham shoppers. Trains still cross South Street in Roslindale on the Penn Central’s Needham Branch. But the Bussey Bridge they use is a solid, substantial granite arch, which has safely carried passenger and freight trains since before the turn of the century. It stands as a stone monument to the hapless passengers on the 7:00 A.M. train and the quick-thinking engineer whose fast action that Monday morning in March saved so many lives.

Az apátságot 1182-ben III. Béla alapította, s a XIV. század közepéig illetve a XV. század elejéig virágzott, s a magyarországi ciszterci apátságok között rendkívül jelentős szerepet töltött be. A török uralom során, 1541-re már biztosan elmenekültek a szerzetesek, s maga Zirc is hamarosan lakatlanná vált. Az 1700-as évek elején a sziléziai, heinrichaui ciszterci apátság élesztette újra a zirci apátságot és telepítette be a falut. 1733-ra épült fel az egyemeletes monostor - közvetlenül a mai templom melletti szárnyak. 1748-ra épült fel a templom. Gazdag berendezése 1770-re készült el. A templom titulusa - mint minden ciszterci apátsági templomnak - Szűz Mária mennybevétele; a templom felszentelése 1752-ben volt. Az apátság jelenlegi formáját fokozatosan nyerte el, az 1750-re elkészült épületek után, 1844-47 között épült a nyugati szárny, a könyvtár és vörös torony, majd 1866-ban a déli és keleti szárnyak második emelete. Végül 1927-ben a keleti szárny második emelete. Mindezekhez az építkezésekhez és az apátsághoz tartozó 5 (Baja, Buda, Eger, Pécs, Székesfehérvár) gimnázium fenntartásához az apátság rendkívül fejlett gazdálkodása adta 1950-ig a biztos anyagi hátteret; az előszállási uradalom mintaszerű gazdálkodása országszerte híres volt. 1950 után a szerzetesrendek állami feloszlatásával az épületegyüttes többféle funkciót látott el. 1990-tól újra a magyarországi ciszterci élet középpontja.

Lagu Penyembahan Yang Menyentuh Hati - Saat Teduh - Terima Kasih Tuhan

 

Recently I blogged about a new project that I am starting called $2 portraits. The idea is that I will offer $2 to anyone who asks me for money from now on in exchange for their portrait.

 

This afternoon I ran into Larry when I was coming out of the MacArthur BART station in Oakland. I was talking on the phone and just as I was finishing my call Larry held both of his hands together and pointed them over at me, adding "can you help me out with anything."

 

I told Larry about my $2 portrait project and he immediately agreed to pose.

 

Larry said that he was homeless. That he originally was from Memphis, TN and came out to Oakland with the promise of a job from a man years ago. He said that it turned out that the job never materialized and he ended up staying out here.

 

Larry said that he has two teenage kids who live in Richmond that he sees every now and again. He said that he's been living on the streets for a while and that since he got out of prison it's been difficult to find work. He said he went to prison because he went after a guy who raped his sister.

 

Larry thanked me for helping him out with the $2 and after our brief conversation we went on our separate ways.

St Thomas of Canterbury, Great Whelnetham, Suffolk

 

The only surviving fragment from a nativity scene: an angel peeps over the stable wall to look at the newly born Christ (15th Century).

 

A new entry on my Suffolk Churches site:

 

This pleasant little church sits out on the edge of a straggle of suburbia to the south of Bury St Edmunds, Great Whelnetham running into Sicklesmere, which gives its name to the ancient Hundrfed, but has no parish church of its own. The church is entirely in the Essex style, although we are still a good ten miles from the border here. The churchyard is secluded, setback behind the village school, a green velvet bed for a jewel of a church on the morning in late summer 2014 that I most recently visited. Sam Mortlock found it depressing on his visit in the 1980s, but the grim pebbledash he mentions has been repainted on the nave at least, and it presents a pretty prospect to the south. There probably never was a tower, although a 15th century bequest left money for one. In any case, evidence remains of the Norman, and possibly Saxon, origin of this church. The little clerestorey is delightful, like the windows in the upper storey of a cottage.

 

As so often with churches of this kind, St Thomas of Canterbury seems larger inside than out, a feeling enhanced by the lack of clutter and the bright light inside. The chancel has been cleared of furnishings, a north transept neatly arranged with modern chairs. The transept was added in 1839, an early date and suggesting it was built for increased capacity rather than liturgical reasons. Its domestic window tracery and small chimney add to the sense of this being a cottage as much as a church. A tapestry of the Annunciation hangs in the transept, and generally there is an air of simplicity about the nave and its transept. A lot happened here in the 19th and 20th Centuries, but stil the Norman lancets remain to remind us of how long this serious house has been here. Everything is well looked after and obviously loved.

 

It is obvious that this church had Anglo-catholic sympathies early in the 20th Century, and surviving evidence includes the rather extraordinary east window. It is by Burlison & Grylls, and forms the parish war memorial. From left to right, it depicts the boy David, St George, St Nicholas and Joan of Arc, an eclectic mix to find in an English country parish church, especially Joan of Arc who is rarely depicted in Anglican churches (although, quite by coincidence, I came across another representation of her later in the week at St Sepulchre on London's Holborn Viaduct). Scenes in the story of each are under their feet.

 

Fragments of medieval glass survive, and the most haunting is a fragment of a 15th Century nativity scene. An angel peeps in awe over the stable wall at the new born baby Jesus lying in the manger. But the angel is all that survives.

 

But perhaps the most fascinating glass here is that reset in the south windows of the sanctuary. This is a part of Suffolk with plenty of surviving medieval glass, so you might at first not give these fragments a second look. But they are worth careful study because among them are several birds holding banners reading 'Jesu Mercy' and 'Jesu Help'. These must come right at the end of the medieval period, when liturgical devotion begins to be expressed in English rather than Latin. You often come across devotional inscriptions in English at the end of the late Medieval period on brasses, screens and the like, but on glass the only other ones in East Anglia that I can think of are at Leverington in Cambridgeshire. But those are not prayer clauses, and far as I know these prayer clauses written in medieval English are unique survivals in English glass.

 

There are a couple of interesting memorials. The best is to Charles and Elizabeth Battely, who died in the early 18th Century, and their memorial is a vast stone drape behind a tomb which looks rather alarmingly as if it might be made out of corned beef. The inscription mentions that it was placed their by their daughter Jane Merest, hastening to add that Jane's husband James had been Clerk Assistant of the House of Lords.

 

The church seems to be open every day from Easter to September, with a keyholder at other times. On one occasion I tipped up here on a Saturday in early Spring only to find all three keyholders out. Heading back to the church to photograph the outside, I met an old local in the churchyard who asked me if I wanted to see inside. I explained that I'd already tried the keyholders, to which he replied 'don't you worry about that', and gave me another address to try (something along the lines of "I think it's the third house along, or possibly the fourth, just bang on the door, open it and shout for Val, if she's not in the key's in the kitchen drawer" or something) but being metropolitan and not used to such country ways, I demured.

 

Great Whelnetham was home to one of the last abuses of pluralism in Suffolk in the 19th Century. In 1816, during the reign of King George III, one Henry George Phillips was installed as the Rector here, for which he would earn £375 a year. Two years later, he was further installed as the Rector of the vast parish of Mildenhall, a poor industrial town and Suffolk's biggest parish. His Mildenhall rectorship brought him a further £450 a year, the combined total of £825 being worth about £160,000 annually in today's money. Not unnaturally he preferred to live at Great Whelnetham, and he employed poorly paid curates to carry out the liturgical, pastoral and administrative work at Mildenhall. He seems to have started with some energy - the construction of the north transept here at Whelnetham was under his rectorship - but as the years passed he seems to have preferred the life of a country gentleman.

 

Over the next few decades, the rise of the Oxford Movement would transform the Church of England and do away with such abuses, but at the time of the 1851 Census of Religious Worship the Reverend Phillips was still firmly ensconced in both parishes, which appear to have been equally moribund. Of the 4750 people of Mildenhall only 340 attended morning service there under the eye of Samuel Banks, curate. At Great Whelnetham, with its population of 550, there were 56 people at morning service. The average in Suffolk was about a quarter, and sometimes as much as a third of the population of each parish, the high water mark of attendances in the Church of England, but the people of Mildenhall and Great Whelnetham seemed to have preferred non-conformism and simple absence in equal measure.

 

Phillips seems to have at least been aware that this didn't look good - compiling the return for Great Whelnetham, he added the note that a heavy storm of rain occured at the time of service which had reduced the attendance, and in any case a large proportion of the parish reside in the hamlet of Sicklesmere and frequent adjoining churches of parishes to which they belong. Samuel Banks, compiling the entry for Mildenhall, preferred to keep his silence, no doubt hoping that the figures would speak for themselves. Remarkably, Phillips hung on for another 17 years, dying in harness in 1868. There's a memorial tablet to him in the sanctuary. The pleasing state of the church today is down to his successors.

Kamala Harris has transformed the campaign, thankfully.

 

Beauty and the Beast

 

There is now

Finally

A glimmer of hope

As Beauty takes the stage

While the Beast sputters and mutters

Hurls insults

And piles lie upon lie upon lie

The fraudster

The felon

The sexual predator

The would-be emperor

Or Messiah

Now facing grace, charm and warm smiles

From one who knows his kind

Has put them in jail

Just where he belongs

He has met his match

His destiny

And his denouement

Judgment Day is coming

And the End is near

Come November he will lose

Once again

Get his comeuppance

His just desserts

And the fate he deserves

Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.

 

William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.

 

Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.

 

After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.

 

The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.

 

Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.

Children Portraits

Children Portrait is too much more than just a photo and not only a snapshot, Portrait photography is the capture by means of picture of the likeness of a person in which the face and expression is predominant.

Ύμνος των λόγων του Θεού

Οι ζωές όλων των όντων της Πλάσης προέρχονται από τον Θεό

I

Η ζωή που χάρισε στον άνθρωπο ο Θεός

δεν τελειώνει,

αδέσμευτη από σάρκα, χρόνο,

ή χώρο.

Αυτό είναι το μυστήριο της ζωής,

η απόδειξη του δώρου της ζωής

απ' τον Θεό.

Οι άνθρωποι

μπορεί να πιστέψουν ή όχι

ότι η πηγή της ζωής είναι ο Θεός,

αλλά απολαμβάνουν

ότι προέρχεται απ' τον Θεό.

Εάν ο Θεός άλλαζε γνώμη

κι ανακτούσε όλο τον κόσμο

και τη ζωή Του,

τότε όλος ο κόσμος

και τα ζωντανά όντα,

όλη η πλάση θα χαθεί για πάντα.

Ο Θεός δίνει την ζωή Του

για να τροφοδοτεί τα πάντα.

Η δύναμη και η εξουσία Του

φέρνουν καλή τάξη,

μια ακατανόητη αλήθεια

μαρτυρία της ζωτικής ενέργειας

του Θεού.

II

Τώρα ο Θεός

θέλει να σου πει ένα μυστικό:

Το μεγαλείο κι η δύναμη

της ζωής Του,

βρίσκεται πέρα από τα όρια

των πλασμάτων Του.

Έτσι είναι τώρα και για πάντα.

Ο Θεός είναι η ζωοδόχος πηγή

όλης της πλάσης

σ' όλες τις μορφές της.

Όλα τα ζωντανά όντα

ακολουθούν το μονοπάτι

που έφτιαξε ο Θεός.

Μέσα από την φροντίδα

και πρόβλεψη του Θεού

ο άνθρωπος λαμβάνει

το δώρο της ζωής,

χωρίς αυτά

χάνει την αίσθηση της αξίας

και τον σκοπό στην ζωή.

Αν ο άνθρωπος αποτύχει

να εκτιμήσει όσα του απονέμει ο Θεός,

ο Θεός, ο Δημιουργός,

θα τα πάρει όλα πίσω.

Οι αποζημιώσεις του ανθρώπου

θα είναι βαριές

για όλα αυτά

που ο Θεός έχει δώσει στον άνθρωπο.

Película cristiana en español | "El momento de la transformación" Dios revela los misterios de la Biblia

 

Su Mingyue es predicadora de una iglesia clandestina en la China continental. A lo largo de los años, ha sido una devota sierva del Señor empeñada en predicar para Él y cargar con su trabajo en la iglesia. Ella sigue la palabra de Pablo recogida en la Biblia, creyendo que basta con sólo creer en el Señor para ser considerado justo y salvarse por la gracia. Aunque el hombre todavía peca constantemente, el Señor le ha perdonado los pecados, su imagen será transformada inmediatamente para llegar a ser santo y será ascendido al reino de los cielos cuando llegue el Señor. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, la iglesia se ha quedado cada vez más desolada, los creyentes han sido negativos y débiles en general, su fe y su amor se han enfriado. Algunos compañeros siguen la palabra del Señor: "No todo el que me dice: 'Señor, Señor', entrará en el reino de los cielos, sino el que hace la voluntad de mi Padre que está en los cielos". Ellos cuestionan la concepción de que "Cuando venga el Señor, Él transformará inmediatamente la imagen del hombre y lo ascenderá al reino de los cielos". Creen que, puesto que todavía pecamos constantemente, no logramos alcanzar la santidad ni de lejos y desobedecemos la voluntad de Dios, ¿cómo podemos ser ascendidos al reino de los cielos cuando venga el Señor? Tras hablar y debatir, Su Mingyue cree que hay contradicciones entre la palabra del Señor y la idea de Pablo de que la imagen del hombre se transformará inmediatamente cuando venga el Señor. ¿Qué idea es la correcta después de todo? Su Mingyue tiene un dilema y una confusión en su corazón. A fin de encontrar una iglesia con la obra del Espíritu Santo que resuelva su confusión práctica, y para que no la abandone el Señor, Su Mingyue decide estudiar el Relámpago Oriental. A través de debates y comunicaciones con los predicadores de la Iglesia de Dios Todopoderoso, Su Mingyue y otros finalmente comprenden el único camino para entrar en el reino de los cielos…

LEIA COM CALMA ANTES DE COMENTAR :

  

:: REGRAS PARA COMENTÁRIOS ::

Por favor, peço que não somente visualize a imagem mas comente,opine, não vai cair o dedo,não custa nada dizer o que a imagem te passou.

Provavelmente algumas pessoas salvem as minhas fotos (agora q disponibilizei para download)

Utilize-as para quaisquer fins limitadamente pessoais, como papel de parede no desktop do pc,como plano de fundo do msn, por exemplo, mas peço encarecidamente

que não as utilize para nenhum outro fim;é expressamente proibido postar em seus sites, blogs, flogs,ou quaisquer outros sites de redes sociais vide orkut, facebook, twitter, myspace, qualquer material de minha autoria;

não recicle o meu trabalho, não salve com intenção de comercializá-lo, não se aposse dele(pois isso é muito baixo).E se eventualmente queriam expô-lo em algo seu, por favor comuniquem-se comigo,enviem um flickrmail, deixem um comentário,

qualquer coisa dizendo que vc se interessou muito pela minha imagem.

Pois deixo claro aqui, que tenho TODOS os direitos de cópia reservados.Não permitirei q trabalhos meus sejam espalhados na net, sem meu consentimento!

E caso eu veja que estão usando as facilidades para se aproveitarem dos meus trabalhos, desabilitarei a opção para download (zoom) ou até PARAREI de postar.

 

Já pude perceber pelo outro flickr que a diferença de visualizações e comentários é bastante significativa

e gostaria que vocês quando visualizassem a foto,comentassem o que acharam dela!

Pq dar Prêmio, não é dizer que gostou do trabalho, e sim esperar que se faça o mesmo, premie, e eu nao gosto dessas coisas.

Não precisa ser um texto mas também não somente uma linha, pois desejo saber o que vc realmente gostou ou não nela.

Não estou pedindo para vocês comentarem cem linhas mas q seja um comentário realmente legal, verdadeiro e sgnificativo!

Adoro ver que vocês acompanham a minha evolução, e peço que me dêem dicas,sugestões no que eu poderia melhorar.

Criticas, elogios e sugestões serão muito bem- vindos, meus amores!

 

Se eu não responder teu comentário rapidamente,não se irrite,é por falta de tempo mesmo.

As vezes não falo muito mas,acredite,tudo que escrevo é com maior carinho

Justamente por não escrever muito é que eu ADORO akeles comentários ENOOOOORMES

(claro,comentários com nexo né por favor,comentários legais e descritivos)

Não deixe de favoritar,comentar,adicionar notas e recomendar meus trabalhos ;D

 

Expresse-se, liberte-se, comente, favorite!

 

Apoio a campanha 'FORA COMENTÁRIOS POBRES' q acredito q foi iniciada pela pukee.

NÃO COMENTE, E SIM OPINE!

 

Caso eu esqueça de dar algum crédito,por favor,me avisem

Pois eu sou bem distraída as vezes :D

Primeira vez que escrevo tanto assim :O

rsrsrs

 

Continuo postando meus trabalhos por causa de vocês!

Vocês são a razão para q eu continue aki!

IN ENGLISH :

 

Read calmly, just some rules to post a comment:

 

Please, i claim to you that do not just visualize the image, but leave your comment, opine about it, im sure that this'll not cost you nothing, it won't take a lot of your time to say what the image have reeked on you.

Belike some peoples download my photos(now that i've allowed the download option, and yes it got zoom!)

Do utilize them for any kind of personal issues, such as desktop's wallpaper, or background for MSN, for examle.But, i do implore you courteously

that do not use 'em for any other issue!Is highly prohibited to post on yours blogs, flogs, or any social network, like orkut, twitter, facebook, myspace, any sort of my authorized works.

Do not recycle, do not download with the intent of dealing, do not seize my paintworks(this is so lame).

And i just have to make this clear,cuz' i've all the copyrights reserved.I'll not permit that my works be spreaded out on the internet, without my concession.

 

And also if i saw someone using improperly the download(zoom) option for screwing up with my works, i'll turn it off or more stop posting my works here.

 

i've already perceive by my other flickr account that huge diference between the number of views and comment, and i'd like to say that whenever you saw the pic,

comment on it.

Because only by giving an award, does not mean that you've liked the photo,it's just creates an expectative of my retribution, and i don't like this, for real.

You do not need to write a text,but not a just a little phrase, whereas i'd wish to know what you really liked or not.

I'm not asking to you guys to write a long text, but to be a comment that sounds nice, truthful, and meaningful!

I love to see that you guys are tracking my evolution, so you are free to give hints, and suggestions for me seek a good achievement.

Critique, eulogy, and suggestions are always wellcome, my darlings!

  

If do not answer quick your comment, please don't get angry, im just a busy person sometimes^^.

In the most of times i don't speak a lot, but, believe it, all that i've write to you is with kindness.

Justly for not be able to write a large text, that i adore those immense comments!

(of course, good comments the plausible ones, nice and descriptive)

Don't forget to favorite, comment, e recommed me to your friends here!

 

I acclaim the campaign 'FUCK OFF THE POOR COMMENTS' started by Pukee, i believe.

DON'T COMMENT, BUT OPINE YES!

 

And If i forget to give you the credit about your opus, do Please, remind me.

'Cause im a kinda distracted sometimes :D

Rsrsrsrs

 

I'll continue to post my photoshop works here because of you guys!!

You're the reason for me to stay here!Kisses!!
