 | History of the Mormons in California - Mormon Battalion 1/3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church. This is from the film "More Precious Than Gold." The Mormon Battalion was the only religious "unit" in American military history serving from July 1846 to July 1847 during the Mexican-American War. They provided funds from their salaries and allowances to assist the Mormon exodus west, such as part of their clothing allowances they provided to Brigham Young to help finance the Latter-day Saint's move to the Salt Lake Valley. The battalion was a volunteer unit of 500 soldiers, nearly all Mormon men with regular army officers in command and key staff positions along with Mormon company officers. The battalion made a grueling march from Council Bluffs, Iowa to San Diego, California. The Mormon Battalion were mostly members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who were fleeing religious persecution in Nauvoo, Illinois. The battalion's march and service was instrumental in helping secure new lands in several Western states, especially the Gadsden Purchase of 1853 of much of southern Arizona. The march also opened a southern wagon route to California. Veterans of the battalion played significant roles in America's westward expansion in California, Utah, Arizona and other parts of the West. President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Brigham Young, sent Elder Jesse C. Little to Washington, D.C. to seek assistance from the federal government for the Mormon trek west. After several interviews with President James Polk in early June 1846, the offer to enlist some 500 men after the Mormons arrived in California was accepted. Yet, orders through military channels were misread and an army officer went to the Mormon camps in Iowa to enlist men into a battalion consisting of all Mormons. The battalion was mustered into volunteer service on July 16, 1846 by Captain James Allen of the famous 1st U.S. Dragoons. Dispatched by Colonel (later Brigadier General) Stephen Kearny, Allen met no success in recruiting until Brigham Young and other members of the Twelve gave public approval. Eventually some 500 men volunteered into this unique "federal" unit, which was not structured as a more typical militia or state volunteer organization. Several large families, some soldier's wives and a number of teen age boys accompanied the battalion, making it appear more as a pioneer party than a military force. The Mormon Battalion would be part of the Army of the West under General Kearny, a tough and seasoned veteran, that would have two regiments of Missouri volunteers, a regiment of New York volunteers who would travel by ships to California, artillery and infantry battalions, Kearny's own 1st US Dragoons, and the battalion of Mormons. The Mormon Battalion arrived in San Diego, California on January 29, 1847 after a march of some 1,900 miles from Iowa. For the next five months until their discharge on July 16, 1847 in Los Angeles, the battalion trained and also performed occupation duties in several locations in southern California. The most significant service the battalion provided in California and during the war, was as a reliable unit under Cooke that General Kearny could rely on to block Fremont's mutinous bid to control California. The construction of Fort Moore was one measure Cooke employed to protect legitimate military and civil control under Kearny. Some 22 Mormon men died from disease or other natural causes during their service. About 80 of the men re-enlisted for another six months of service. A few of the men escorted John C. Fremont back east for his court-martial. A few discharged veterans worked in the Sacramento area for James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill. Henry Bigler recorded the actual date, January 24, 1848, in his diary (now on display at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA) when gold was discovered. This gold find started the California Gold Rush the next year. For more information, visit http://www.mormon.org |

Wikipedia - Aspartame - Health concerns Aspartame has been the subject of controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances of its approval by the American FDA and European FSA. Some studies have also recommended further investigation into possible connections between aspartame and negative effects such as headaches, brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma. These findings, combined with possible conflicts of interest involving CEO Donald Rumsfeld in the approval process, have engendered vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame. Brain Tumors? Approved by Donald Rumsfeld around the same time he was shaking hands with Saddam Hussein and selling him chemical weapons with which to gas the Kurds? I've been working on a 12 step video, hoping to squeeze enough into 2 hours of youtube ten minute videos to break the spell of lies. A hand-out format to make it easier for people to share around would be nice. "12 Steps to Freedom" First let me start by saying that the term conspiracy theory is often used by the guilty to eliminate articulate dissent. Secondly "Paranoid" is the ability to connect seemingly unconnected events! 1) Admitting you have a problem: Food Poisoned with Government Approval MSG Aspartame GMO 2) Came to believe in the power Greater than ourselves: Education School is for indoctrination into debt slavery 3) Made a decision to get the Truth: Media has been lying and spitting on our faces 4) Made a searching and fearless moral inventory: Organized Religion has been lying and stealing our joy 5) Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs: Narcotics Hemp eases a myriad of symptoms and is nearly free yet they claim it makes you insane. It would replace the petrochemical industry. 6) Were entirely ready to remove these shortcomings of society: Economics, debt slavery, Usury is theft plain and simple. 7) Humbly asked for help to remove these shortcomings: Politicians have been lying and spitting on our faces, Seek direct democracy. 8) Made a list of all the wrongdoers: Conscience, Take personal responsibility and stop being childish 9) Made direct amends for all the wrongs: Community Say hello to the neighbors, call old friends and family. 10) Continued to take personal inventory and when we saw a wrong promptly corrected it: Learn the truth about earth 11) Sought through meditation and fellowship to improve our contact with each other, the earth and Cosmos: Learn to meditate, relax and entertain yourself. 12) Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps we carried this message to our fellow humans: Responsibly take alternatives, solutions, discussions, questions, and open debates honestly seeking help. We need some collective gathering place for the people around the globe, political differences aside, this is a human issue not a political one. Politics is the only arena we have left with which to enter and hope to have our voices heard on mainstream media.

 | Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse "Gallopin' Gertie" Watch the amazing "Gallopin' Gertie" November 7, 1940 video clip. 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge Slender, elegant and graceful, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge stretched like a steel ribbon across Puget Sound in 1940. The third longest suspension span in the world opened on July 1st. Only four months later, the great span's short life ended in disaster. "Galloping Gertie," collapsed in a windstorm on November 7,1940. The bridge became famous as "the most dramatic failure in bridge engineering history." Now, it's also "one of the world's largest man-made reefs." The sunken remains of Galloping Gertie were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 to protect her from salvagers. A dramatic tale of failure and success The story of the failure of the 1940 Narrows Bridge and the success of the Current Narrows Bridge is a great American saga. When Galloping Gertie splashed into Puget Sound, it created ripple effects across the nation and around the world. The event changed forever how engineers design suspension bridges. Gertie's failure led to the safer suspension spans we use today. |
