[center]FOREWORD[/center]
Between the far away past history of the world, and that which
lies near to us; in the time when the wisdom of the ancient
times was dead and had passed away, and our own days of light
had not yet come, there lay a great black gulf in human history,
a gulf of ignorance, of superstition, of cruelty, and of
wickedness.
That time we call the dark or middle ages.
[center][img

HTML https://clip2art.com/images/drawn-lightning-creepy-17.jpg[/img]
[/center]
Few records remain to us of that dreadful period in our world’s
history, and we only know of it through broken and disjointed
fragments that have been handed down to us through the
generations.
[center][img
width=640]
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-070817214841.gif[/img][/center]
Yet, though the world’s life then was so wicked and black, there
yet remained a few good men and women here and there (mostly in
peaceful and quiet monasteries, far from the thunder and the
glare of the worlds bloody battle), who knew the right and the
truth and lived according to what they knew; who preserved and
tenderly cared for the truths that the dear Christ taught, and
lived and died for in Palestine so long ago.
This tale that I am about to tell is of a little boy who lived
and suffered in those dark middle ages; of how he saw both the
good and the bad of men, and of how, by gentleness and love and
not by strife and hatred, he came at last to stand above other
men and to be looked up to by all. And should you follow the
story to the end, I hope you may find it a pleasure, as I have
done, to ramble through those dark ancient castles, to lie with
little Otto and Brother John in the high belfry-tower, or to sit
with them in the peaceful quiet of the sunny old monastery
garden, for, of all the story, I love best those early peaceful
years that little Otto spent in the dear old White Cross on the
Hill.
Poor little Otto’s life was a stony and a thorny pathway, and it
is well for all of us nowadays that we walk it in fancy and not
in truth.

A description of a book hat I'll bet few of us have ever read,
let alone heard of. For those of us who virulently distrust
corporate media, it's good to know that one of the pillars of
the muckraking era exposed out all a century ago and despite
being on elf the literary lions of the era, had his book
constructively buried and erased from history.

By: AGelbert Date: December 12, 2019, 11:24 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Agelbert NOTE: This is a fictional narrative. It describes the
reaction of those in the civil and religious power structure to
Jesus Christ being incarnated in the late 19th century, instead
of 2,000 years ago. It is every bit as applicable today, if not
more so, as it was in the late 19th century. The description of
Herod fits our current excuse for a POTUS to a "🦀 T".
The author's narration of religious leaders' rationale, even
after they did all they could to get Christ removed from the
planet because of His interference with their business model,
provides wry, subtle humor.
There is a lesson for all of us in this excellent, truth filled
audiobook. [img

In which John Green returns for a dystopian new season of Crash
Course Literature! We're starting with George Orwell's classic
look at the totalitarian state that could be in post-war
England. Winston Smith is under the eye of Big Brother, and

Well, it looks like that movie we all watched several decades
ago (made from the "fictional" dystopia that Orwell portrayed in
his book "1984") was quite prophetic. The year in the title was
36 years early, but there is no need to quibble over details.
Here's the trailer from the 2008 remake:

In which John Green continues discussing George Orwell's 1984.
Today we're talking about what the novel 1984 has to say about
what some have called today's surveillance society. We'll also
look at the idea that language can be used as a means to control
people's thoughts. Can something like Newspeak prevent a person
from having certain thoughts? I wish I had the words to express
how I feel about that. Luckily, John does have the words.

Will Hurd and the others like him are craven lickspittles and
have clearly abrogated their sworn oaths to defend the
Constitution. The fact that he's not running for re-election
must mean that he doesn't want a vote in favor of impeachment to
impinge on his upcoming lobbyist income.
The Republican Party is now solely the party of White Rage. They
want a King, and they'll raise one. In 18th months this Forum
will be a Crime Against the State.[/quote]
