As Panama Burns
From the book
The Life, Times & Adventures of
Sir George Henry Nichols
or
The legend of Captain Outrageous
As we were trying to regroup before the city, someone shouted "Smoke!" and soon many of the buccaneers were shouting smoke.
"Those damn cowards!" Henry was growing red in the face, "don't let them cowardice dawgs burn it! There'll be nothing to loot!" he shouted as loud as he could. "Don't let them burn it!"
And so we advanced on the city quickly, they had the streets barricaded, many with cannons, but no one there to man them, the city was deserted. Morgan sent Major Searle and some men down to the water front to stop any ships from escaping, and we set out to deal with the fires.
By the time we got across town to where it was burning, several blocks were engulfed. Henry started to try and move water to the fire along a line of men. I took some men and started working the houses not yet caught, and moving as much of the goods into the streets as we could. But the place was burning furiously, and consuming one house after another. With the forest being so thick and the ground soft, most of the city was built of wood, and burned quickly. One effort was made, using powder from a local magazine, to blowup enough houses in a block before the line as to create a fire break, but the wind was blowing and the hot cinders rose high into the air, carried along by the draft, raining fire over the whole of the town, starting fires, were there were no fires. We worked hard trying to get as much into the streets as we could.
By dark, it was a spectacle, made me think of the eternal flames of hell, for the fire was all around, stretching high above my head, licking at the sky, as though the whole of the place was ablaze, and so it was. I could walk about it, inspect it, and touch it, if I dare. I watched it burn, I saw it consumed, I thought of
It was a shame, what kind of people burn their own city? Henry hadn't burned cities, we hadn't burned cities. There was no reason to think he would now, without cause, without looting it. This I failed to understand, they burned it themselves, to burn it just so we can't take it? Is this not despair, a loss of hope, for as long as it remained whole, one can hope to recover it, but to burn it, is to give it over. How can a city like this lose all love of its women, its children, how can the fear of a king erase all hope? The ancient City of
This put me into a bit of a daze, spellbound by the towering flames, sweat dripping from nose, my chin, pouring from me, as though I were a pitcher. I stood there, half naked, my clothes torn to tatters, my spirit down. I had come half way round the world for this. High adventure, wasn't it? Boys dream of high adventure, don't they? And here I was living it, in the bowels of the great empire
I had a strange feeling about my being, my presents, as though I was one with the moment, with what had happened, as though the moment here would be somehow larger, a space in time that would forever be remembered.

God of the Copybook Headings
AS I PASS through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its ice-field, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wobbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

THE REAL PROBLEM
As you can see, they have blocked this video, not so much because it's racist, but because it tells you the truth of what they are doing, the real problem.. So much for free speech... Please refer to this link for the stories... Don't doubt for one moment, this man, Uncle Remus, a Negro slave, was filled with wisdom, and it's this wisdom they don't want you to hear.

Revenge of the Innocent
Here we are all in a panic over ‘Global Warming,’ New World Order,’ ‘Feeding the Hungry,’ ‘Contaminated Water Supplies,’ ‘Housing Market Melt Down,’ ‘Immigrant Invasion,’ ‘War on Terrorist,’ “Health Care,’ ‘Earthquakes!’ ‘Volcanoes Erupting!!’ ‘Giant Waves!!!,’ on and on and on…..
Details…. Just a bunch of details. There is an old saying, ‘The Devil is in the Details.’ Well… You know what? That’s true. My Mother always told me to view life from the bleachers, and beyond. Well, this has been kind of a curse, because I do, and few do. Therefore I never seemed to see what other people see. Often times in the short term, I would appear to be wrong, but it seemed, in the long term, I’ve been right more times than I can count. So… Let me tell you what I see now.
I see the coming revenge of the innocent. We know it says in psalm: 139.13 ‘You created my innermost being, you knit me together in my Mother’s womb, Your eyes saw my unformed body – All the days ordained for me were written in your book, before one of them came to be.’ Now if you ask me, this is a pretty heavy statement, something a God would say.
Now lets suppose, lets just suppose for the sake of argument, that this is God, and he did say this, to us, OOOOooo… Umpteen some odd years ago. In 1973, in this country, the Supreme Court ruled that a Mother could kill her baby before it was born, for lets say…. I don’t know??? Convenience!!!
And in the intern time, we have killed better than 37 million babies. Lets see… In that number there would be brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. (???) Lets see… 1973, the survivors are now what, fixing to be 40 years of age. They are in middle management, in Congress, both houses, huummm…. Of course they don’t realize they are survivors of a great whim of convenience, they never think that the reason they are unmarried is because the Mother of their wife or husband, found them inconvenient!!! They never think, I wonder if I had a brother, or a sister, no they never think about that. But I do know what they are thinking.
If you take a close look at ‘Health Care’ in it present form. It is Revenge of the Innocent, for the survivors are of age now, and the Hippies who all thought this was a good idea, are going to find themselves in the absurd position of being…. Dare I say it!!!! “Inconvenient” Which we all know… Is a legitimate excuse for elimination.
Yes, I think God is upset with us, because we let it go on and on…(details, details, got to get through the details). And you might say, ‘He is giving us just enough rope to hang ourselves.’ I think it will be just as messy, and just as private. My dear friends, ‘the chickens have come home to roost.’ ©
