The continued presence of a handpicked French puppet emperor in Mexico, which had so worried the Lincoln administration during the Civil War, r...

*Peter Suciu* *U.S. Civil War, United States* While the warship in question didn't see much in the way of notable action, it certainly served under a number of naval ensigns. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The warship spent the next two years in the Washington Navy Yard, until it was seen by a Japanese purchasing agent that had been sent by the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate to America.

as a flower opens its petals according to its preordained pattern; I Ching
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 22 hours ago
When Confucius reembodied in China five hundred years later he edited the six Chinese classics, including the *I Ching* which had been written by King Wen. Confucius said “If I could add fifty more years to my life, I would spend them studying the *I Ching*. Then I would not have any major faults.” Since then the *I Ching* has been seriously misinterpreted and even today is used primarily as a fortune-telling text. But that was not its original purpose. Its original purpose was to convey an understanding of etheric patterns for God-government as well as for individual spirit...

Mozambique: It Began With Twelve, How Will It End?
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 1 day ago
White faces in fatigues – I’m sure that’s just what most Mozambicans were hoping to see upon their shores. After all, it certainly isn’t the first time. Ever since the Portuguese started planting trading posts and forts on what was known as the Swahili Coast around the year 1500, an arrival of armed whites has never really ended well for the locals. Now, if half a millennium late to the party, America recently shipped an army special forces detachment to the country.
