I learned a little bit about Coolidge and how the international financiers worked behind his back and stabbed him in the back and brought on a Depression. I worked in science and knew little about our presidents in the first half of the 20th century. I realize in my old age how complicated history can be.

Very complicated Dennis. Coolidge was a federalist in his actions as President. The States were to hold all the powers not vested in the USG. He was a thoughtful, caring, religious man who lost a young son while Pres. I have always referred to the international financiers as the financial founding families, the same ones that start all the wars, instituted the U.N. and run the world today, hidden behind the scenes. Probably just a coincidence they are all Jewish.

“Our government rests upon religion. It is from that source that we derive our reverence for truth and justice, for equality and liberality, and for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our government. There are only two main theories of government in our world. One rests on righteousness and the other on force. One appeals to reason, and the other appeals to the sword. One is exemplified in the republic, the other is represented by despotism.

The government of a country never gets ahead of the religion of a country. There is no way by which we can substitute the authority of law for the virtue of man. Of course we endeavor to restrain the vicious, and furnish a fair degree of security and protection by legislation and police control, but the real reform which society in these days is seeking will come as a result of our religious convictions, or they will not come at all. Peace, justice, humanity, charity—these cannot be legislated into being. They are the result of divine grace.”

― Calvin Coolidge

Shelley: I made a copy of the response you sent. I will go to a library and see if I can find a decent book about Coolidge. Like others I know almost nothing about him and the early presidents.

I reread Carr's book Pawns In The Game and Knuth's Empire In The City. I have a lot of books, articles on Freemasonry. It all started in the mid 60s with high school where we read None Dare Call It Treason. But what I like most of all is sites like this where I can get information from those who have followed this stuff and try to make sense out of all of it. I have had no one to educate me about this stuff.

As I get older I feel a loathing for those who used our men and women as pawns in wars such as I learned in USMC late 60s and later in the US Army (where I had a trade) but still worked with infantry, medics, arty, and engineers. I see why older people get sad when they remember the faces of people killed in their youth.

We have our own version of communists who like Lenin and others enjoy destroying.

Malone comes up with great topics.

From the beginning we knew the Ukraine war was fiendish.
