Welcome, Good Monday morning, everybody. Craig Peterson here. I was on with Scott Spradling on NH Today. We discussed the threatening Email and letters being received by voters and where they came from. We talked about Google search terms. Then we discussed why The National Guard has been called up in Lousiana to deal with Ransomware. We wrapped up today's discussion with election security in the light of revelations by the FBI and DHS about Nation-State Actors accessing our election systems through known vulnerabilities in the Secretary of State Websites. Here we go with Scott.  These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit. - CraigPeterson.com ---  Automated Machine Generated Transcript: Craig Peterson: [00:00:00] Same basic thing. It peaked in March. Like you'd expect it, a huge peak being the end of July. Now people just aren't searching about masks anymore. But this election, this COVID thing, it's looking online. It's driving people crazy. Good morning, everybody. We had a fun time talking about what is going on with the election meddling. There's some serious stuff happening. I'm not sure how big this scale is, but we've got warnings out. Another one here. The national guard actually called out apparently in Louisiana over real election problems. So here we go. Craig Peterson, of course, with Mr. Scott Spradling. Scott Spradling: [00:00:43] Interesting developments over the course of the last few days. I don't know if folks saw this in the news, but there were letters and emails that were sent to voters threatening that if they didn't vote a certain way, that there would be some form of retribution.  It looked like most of those emails went to democrats, although I'm not a thousand percent clear on the details. A follow-up investigation by the authorities has determined that these threats were coming from Iran. Joining us to talk more about this is Craig Peterson is welcoming back to New Hampshire today, Craig, thank you very much for joining us and tell us a little bit about this headline and how they figured out that this was coming from Iran. Craig Peterson: [00:01:20] It's interesting stuff isn't it here, when you get right into it. Sometimes it's hard to figure out exactly what's going on. Apparently, there were emails that were being sent to Democrats and they were set up in such a way that it looks like it was this pro-Trump group called the proud boys. It's been all over the news lately. A lot of questions asked about it. A couple of them in the debate in fact where President Trump's said: "I don't really know these guys, but if their bad guys don't have anything to do with them." According to the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, apparently what happened is that the Iranians decided they would jump on this whole proud boys stuff that had been in the news and they started sending threatening emails. Talking about how, if you didn't vote for Trump, basically, we know who you are and we're going to come after you. In fact, they literally, what it said is you will vote for Trump on election day, or we will come after you. By Tuesday night, they are said to have reached voters in four different States.  The FBI has been involved. We've been having problems in Milford. You've probably followed some of that. I know Scott that you've talked a little bit about it. It's crazy. This morning I just heard from one of my daughters that her boyfriend's family had a thing stuck on their door. A little letter stuck on their door saying that if he votes for Trump they're coming after him. Wow. This is crazy.  I went online and Google has this trend feature that allows you to look at the terms that are being used, who is searching for them, and what's going on. I checked out a couple of terms. You have been talking about Covid fatigue, and it is showing some very high interest, but it's interesting where it peaked, it really peaked in July and it peaked again last week, which is interesting. Scott Spradling: [00:03:24] Uh, Huh. Craig Peterson: [00:03:24] COVID mask. The same basic thing it peaked in March like you'd expect it a huge peak beginning of July, and now people just start searching about masks anymore. This election, this COVID thing. Looking online it's driving people crazy.  I tried to verify another story that's been floating around.  Basically, a rumor based on my exploration here, saying that, the number one search term is, "how do I change my vote?" So I checked a few States, including New Hampshire. Nowhere near true. In fact, so few people are asking on Google, how to change their vote, that doesn't even show up in most of the graphs.  Scott Spradling: [00:04:02] I have a lot of faith in the New Hampshire election system, which is nice to hear. Craig Peterson. Let me ask you a different question because we were talking about the Iranians being behind this kind of a threat via email. One thing that's really, really interesting, in the headlines is that some States are devoting some serious resources to pushing back to local threats like ransomware. And I directed to the state of Louisiana where the national guard is this actually being mobilized, if you will, to go against a tech threat. Talk to me about that. Craig Peterson: [00:04:33] This is very interesting there's a study out, Reuters is carrying an article about it right now, from, Friday and Thursday last week. Apparently what's happened is they found inside some of the Louisiana governmental offices that are specifically involved in elections. In other words, Secretary of State's offices. They found some Trojan rats, remote access Trojans, it's called the Kim Jong rat back door. This particular back door apparently has allowed them to get into the government networks down there right now. Many people may not be aware of it, but our military, including our national guard, has been very well trained. I did some of the training myself, for them on the techniques to help repel these types of ransomware and other types of attacks, direct attacks as well. Also, come in after the fact.  Frankly, between us, we have a very strong offensive cyber capability where we can go after other countries, of course, that happened to Iran already. So there are some warnings out there. The United States cybersecurity infrastructure security agency issued a warning. I have for years now been talking about. The weakness even here in New Hampshire has to do with the websites, particularly against Secretaries of State. Those websites are used for gathering information from the local polling places, as well as for the federal government to go out to the states and find out what the final tallies are. Those websites are very risky, frankly. That's the part of the election that I really don't like, Scott, because it's so exposed. Scott Spradling: [00:06:20] That's gotta be tightened up. No doubt. Craig Peterson, let me ask you another question. So that's for the macro, the big picture perspective, and what governments need to do. What actions are being taken at home, whether it's, the privacy of your information on your phone, especially when you're selling and maybe trading yours in. Or the safety of your USB drive. How well protected are we right now at the sort of micro-level? What steps should we be taking? Craig Peterson: [00:06:45] Our protection level for the average person right now is barely there at all, at best. You've got a little bit of a firewall. There's something called network address translation is protecting you. Almost every computer out there in your home is unlikely, unless it's a Mac, to be up to date on patches. That's the bottom line. The best thing you can do, keep everything patched up. We've got thermostats now connected to the internet. We've got lights. We've got security cameras. When was the last time, Scott you patched your security camera, at your house? Scott Spradling: [00:07:23] Never. Craig Peterson: [00:07:23] Yeah, exactly. That's huge. The second thing you can do is get a prosumer firewall. Don't use these pieces of junk that are given to you by your Internet Service provider. You really got to upgrade, get into something a little bit more professional and that'll help a lot. Scott Spradling: [00:07:40] Craig Peterson. Thank you so much for your advice and observations. We appreciate you helping keep us safe, especially when it comes to our electronic footprint. Hope you have a great day, a great Monday. Craig Peterson: [00:07:49] Thanks, Scott.  I'll be back Saturday at 1130. Scott Spradling: [00:07:52] Great. We'll talk to you then. Oh, my gosh, I so much better. That's all I'm going to say. All right, everybody. We are going to be back tomorrow and Wednesday and of course, I'll be back this weekend. I will be posting this now. I had a guy, he had suggested one of our listeners here, who is becoming a friend of mine. it's been fun chatting back and forth, but, he had suggested that I put up one-hour shows. Now we tried that a couple of times and, we just fell out of the habit, for no particular reason. There were only a couple of people that reached out when I asked about it before, I'm going to assume you're indifferent unless I hear otherwise from you and there are thousands of you out there. So we really, you should try and do this a little bit differently. Let me know if you think I should post this as well. At least my weekend, podcasts, instead of breaking them up into topics. Do you think you guys should do them as one big podcast?  It's going to be about an hour and a half worth of podcasts or continue to do it based on topics. Please do let me know? This isn't some ruse, I want to know from you guys. Just email me, M E at Craig peterson.com. I'd love to hear from you. I'd love to hear how you consume the podcast. I know a few of you have already told me, you're listening while you're out driving the trucks. Some are listening in the gym, others are just really just going about their weekends. So let me know. I would really appreciate that. We've been really releasing the podcast on Friday afternoon. and that's probably the earliest we could possibly release them. But does that work for you guys to do that? It might be better for the show may be to release on Monday. Or more people listening over the weekend than during the week?  When do you guys listen to it? I can certainly look at the stats and I have, but I've never really tried to release it later. So let me know, just email me. M E at Craig peterson.com. I want to make the most of my time and of yours have a great day. We'll be back tomorrow.

ROCHESTER -- Kay Keenan came home to her Rochester Housing Authority apartment Monday to find her Trump 2020 flag had been removed from its flag holder, rolled up and placed next to her door with a note. “The office continues to call me about the Trump Flag. Please do not put it back up,” wrote the property manager. By Tuesday, Keenan had the flag back up in its holder, flying adjacent to the U.S. flag she also put up last week as she appeals the housing authority decision. Keenan said she had permission to fly the flag during the appeal process.

Today’s episode is the story of how you may consider collecting rent each new month. Rental income is much like the income a grocery store receives from its clients. Client goes to the grocery store and buys fruits and vegetables, maybe some bread and butter. It is recurring income. The customer is hungry on Monday when they go shopping. By Tuesday, they’re hungry again, and again on Wednesday. Each time you go to the grocery, the store does what it can to earn your business. They make sure the fruits and vegetables are in good condition, displayed in an attractive manner, kept from spoiling by being chilled to a lower temperature. If the bananas look terrible and beat up, you probably won’t buy bananas today. Imagine if the grocery store experience was conducted the way some landlords collect rent on the first of each month. The grocery store isn’t entitled to the tenants money. The grocery has to deliver value each and every day to earn your business. If they fail to do so, you will shop elsewhere. What if, you asked yourself, what could I do as a landlord that would allow my tenant to clearly remember the value they’re getting each time they the rent? What if each month’s rent was treated as a new sale. No sense of entitlement. What would be different?

"Be at peace.  I am the living God. Don't be afraid. Why would you be so frightened? Don't let doubt or fear enter your hearts, for I AM! Come and gaze upon my pierced hands and feet. See for yourselves, it is I, standing here alive. Touch me and know that my wounds are real. See that I have a body of flesh and bone." Luke 24:37-39 The Passion Translation These are the words Jesus spoke to the Disciples when He stood in their midst, soon after the resurrection. These are words for us too, today, here and now... Be at peace... Don't  be afraid... Don't let doubt or fear enter your hearts... Come and gaze... See for yourselves.  There is something about coming to Jesus, stopping and gazing, being still and choosing to focus your thoughts on Him. One of my favourite scriptures, Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalm 46:10 NKJV Since returning from the Colour Conference last Thursday afternoon, there has been plenty going on here to bring fear and doubt, probably not surprising given the great input we received from the conference.  There was a moment on Saturday night when I took a moment to be still, surrender to God, and ask Him what I was to do. Surrender your anxiety! Be silent and stop your striving and you will see that I am God. I am God above all nations, and I will be exalted throughout the whole earth. Psalm 46:10 The Passion Translation.   An aside question, why did it take me 48 hours to get to this place of surrender? The quick answer, I was so busy striving in my own strength to fix each undesirable situation as it arose, that it wasn't until I went to bed and started talking to God that I realised we were under attack! This had not been a normal 48 hours! In that time of being still, God reminded me of who He is, Here he stands! The Commander! The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob fights for us! Psalm 46:11 The Passion Translation Yesterday morning, on Tuesday, when things were still a bit crazy, during some time of prayer, declaring God's Word, fasting and worship, one of the worship songs I was prompted to play was, Chris Tomlin's, Whom shall I fear [God of Angel Armies]. Here are some of the lyrics You hear me when I call You are my morning song Though darkness fills the night It cannot hide the light Whom shall I fear You crush the enemy Underneath my feet You are my sword and shield Though troubles linger still Whom shall I fear I know who goes before me I know who stands behind The God of angel armies Is always by my side We have a God who is living. He is not dead. He is with us. He is interceding for us. He is near. He wants us to come and gaze at Him, exchanging our fear for His peace. He wants us to know that we are loved by Him, always.  By Tuesday afternoon the negative circumstances in all four situations had started to change, only through God's grace and mercy, thank you Jesus.  Let's take time to day to stop, gaze and receive His love and remind ourselves that He is God, creator of Heaven and Earth, sovereign over all and He is always with us. Precious Jesus, thank you for what you did for each of us on The Cross.  Help us every day to take time to come and gaze, to sit at your feet, to know more of who you are and what you have done for us. Please transform us in those moments so we can be more like you and do more of what you have called us to do. Amen. To find out more please visit https://wendyrobinson.com.au

It's the Midday News Wrap , with guest host Nathan Sterner sitting in for Tom Hall. Among the stories Nathan spotlights in this week's review: the drama of competing healthcare bills, the wrangling and chaos within the Republican Party, and the still-unfolding puzzle of possible Russian ties to President Trump's inner circle. Early in the week, Senate Republicans lacked the votes for their latest proposal to replace the Affordable Care Act. By Tuesday, President Trump announced, ----We'll let Obamacare fail.---- The confusion deepened later in the week with proposals to Repeal without Replace and Repeal with Delayed Replace. Also this week, there was the drip, drip of revelations about exactly who else was in the room in June of 2016 when Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort, the Trump campaign chief at the time, attended a meeting where they were promised Russian government help for their campaign and some dirt about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Then on Thursday came the

It’s about WW1 news 100 years ago this week  - and it’s about WW1 NOW - news and updates about the centennial and the commemoration. WW1 Centennial News is brought to you by the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library. Today is June 14th, 2017 and I’m Theo Mayer - Chief Technologist for the World War One Centennial Commission and your host. World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week We have gone back in time 100 years and on June 14, 1917 - it’s FLAG Day. And it is a flag day, like no other in history. The Washington Herald writes: “Never has there been such a Flag Day fete before, and it may be centuries before it occurs again, but the deed was accomplished, despite the setting. The President has spoken.” Though America had declared war on Germany, the real enemy on this Flag Day seems to be the weather. Storm gale winds and heavy rain threatens what is supposed to be a major event in the nation’s capital planned with a 600 voice choir, a huge audience including government employees, who have a ½ day off so they can join the festivities - All to frame a rousing speech by President Woodrow Wilson about the war. The herald article captures the moment with: “Nature Allied with the German Autocracy yesterday in a futile effort to block the delivery of the most sensational war statement to the American People ever heard from the lips of a President!” Streets flooded, flags were ripped out of their holders and one man died in the gale while President Wilson braved the storm, shuning an umbrella and delivering a rousing speech against the gale. It all seemed somehow prophetic and appropriate. Then at the end of the day, it was announced that Liberty Loan drive had not only met it’s goal, but had exceeded it! On this Flag day in 1917  it feels like nothing can or will dare stop the Yanks. Link: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/13/flag-day-in-1917-was-like-no-other/ Official Bulletin We are going to pick up on the Liberty Loan drive by exploring this week’s pages of the “Official Bulletin”, the government war gazette published by George Creel, America’s propaganda chief, under the orders of President Wilson. We are pulling from Volume 1 - Issues 27-32 The pages of the Bulletin are filled with an all-out - last minute effort - in promoting the Liberty Loan bonds as this first national fund-raising program comes to a close this week: [sound effect]   Dateline Monday June 11, 1917 Headline: BELLS TO RING OUT CALL FOR LIBERTY LOAN SUBSCRIPTIONS The story reads: “The US Treasury Department issues the following: The pendulum of time is to swing back to 1776 and once again to the inscription on the old liberty bell : ‘Proclaim liberty throughout all the land, unto the inhabitants thereof,’ It is - to call Americans to service in the cause of freedom.   In every city, town, village, and hamlet "from every mountain side," the summons to every American shall ring. Beginning to-day (Monday) the bells in churches, schools, courthouses, and town halls throughout the Nation will toll every night at 9 o'clock, reminding Americans that the time for patriotic support of the Government through subscription to the liberty loan bonds is drawing to a close.   The bells will ring four times to-night, indicating that four days remain in which to buy bonds ; Tuesday they will toll three times; twice on Wednesday; and once Thursday.”   That quite a sales campaign! But that’s just a part of it. Listen to some of the other fundraising headlines - just from this week’s issues of the Official Bulletin - We will spare you the stories! [sound effect]   Headline:   LIBERTY LOAN APPEAL SENT TO EVERY NAVY SHIP AND STATION JUNE BRIDES SHOULD ASK THAT THEIR GIFT BE LIBERTY LOANS LIBERTY LOAN IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY ARTISTIC LIBERTY LOAN BONDS BEING TURNED OUT BY ENGRAVERS WORKING NIGHT AND DAY SENATE LEADERS URGE PUBLIC TO BUY LIBERTY LOAN BONDS   And on Friday - the day after the first subscription period closes - the Official Bulletin pronounced:   LIBERTY LOAN OVERSUBSCRIBED ; IT IS A GENUINE TRIUMPH FOR DEMOCRACY" SAYS SECRETARY Mc'ADOO   The government bond subscription target is set to raise $1.9 billion - and is said to have raised $2.5 billion- which is over 52 billion in 2017 dollars. It is huge win for the Wilson administration - We’ll continue with a couple of stories about some of the “No holds no barred” methods they used to do it.   Dateline: Monday June 11, 1917 Headline: WEALTHY CREEK INDIAN SEEKING TO INVEST HIS GREAT RICHES IN LIBERTY LOAN BONDS Jackson Bamett, a Creek Indian, Has Nearly $800,000 on Deposit In Banks and Treasury, from Rich Oil Lands Once Thought of Little Value, Allotted Him - In Oklahoma.   Wow.. Native Americans stepping up to help the nation. Well, maybe not exactly. Now the Native American community DID step up - and step up big - during WW1 - but stepping up financially? - Before indian casinos? - well, that was surprising and we thought there might be an interesting story here - so we sent out of our Commission summer interns - Lorenzo Rodriguez - to dig into the story a little. Here is what we learned. Jackson Barnett, a full blood Creek indian, is given 160 acre of land in 1903 in Oklahoma thanks to the Curtis act of 1898. Well - in 1912 they find oil on the property that earns him between 3 and 4 million dollars over his lifetime! Of course he is an Indian, in his 60’s and illiterate so the Creek County Court and the US Dept. of the interior declares him as “incompetent” and arranges to become the stewards of his estate. It turns out, that it is not actually Mr. Barnett’s idea to buy nearly $700,000 in liberty bonds - OR to donate $50,000 to the Red Cross? The good news is that Barnett is no fool - and later proves himself mentally capable of understanding his own actions and takes back control of his estate. There’s a book about him called: The World's Richest Indian: The Scandal over Jackson Barnett's Oil Fortune. We put a link to it in the podcast notes. https://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Richest-Indian-Scandal-Barnetts/dp/0195182987 Apparently, Secretary of the interior, Lane has control over quite a bit more than Mr. Barnett’s estate. This same week… [sound effect]   Dateline Wed. June 13, 1917 Headline: SECRETARY LANE SUBSCRIBES TO $10,000,000 LIBERTY LOAN BONDS FOR THE ACCOUNT OF AMERICAN INDIANS Secretary of the Interior Lane has subscribed to $10,000,000 in Liberty Loan Bonds on behalf of the accounts of Indians whose money is in his custody. Secretary lane states: ‘Most of these Indians reside in Oklahoma. They are " incompetents " similar to Jackson Barnett for whose account $640,000 in Liberty Bonds was subscribed yesterday. Most of the funds of these Indians is on deposit either at low rates of interest or in the Treasury Department drawing no interest.’ The implication is that this is a favor because now the funds are in Liberty Bonds drawing 3.5% interest. And maybe it was. So - in summary - about the government getting into the bond business - subscribing to the bonds became a symbol of patriotic duty in the United States running up to WW1 - AND it introduced the idea of financial securities to many citizens for the first time. The Act of Congress which authorized the Liberty Bonds is still the same law used TODAY as the authority under which all U.S. Treasury bonds are issued.   And speaking of issued... The amazing  “Official Bulletin” the government war gazette,  is now being re-issued every day - Except Sunday - on our website - on the centennial of its original publish date. If you are an educator, researcher, historian, student of propaganda or just interested in exploring the nuances of America’s transformation in 1917, and the echoes - that still ring in your life today - Like US Treasury Bonds - We offer you this wonderful daily resource at  ww1cc.org/bulletin - explore, exploit, Enjoy! It’s kind of an amazing daily read about the war that changed the world.

And now Pershing arrives in Europe - and the news he brings is not exactly what anyone wants to hear - right? “A desperate moment for the allies Pershing in london tells king no aircraft on the way” LINK:http://greatwarproject.org/2017/06/11/a-desperate-moment-for-the-allies/   Thank you Mike. That was Mike Shuster from the Great War Project blog. War in the Sky: Interview with Paul Callens and Eileen Dumont War In the Sky Last week we ran a story about US Marine Corp - medal of Honor recipient aviator Ralph Talbot and about the collaborative research project being done across the atlantic - about him - by two citizen historians. So as a follow up, we have invited Eileen Dumont from Massachusetts and Paul Callens from Pittem, Belgium, also a member of Flemish Genealogical Society in the Tielt region. Welcome to both of you! [interview] That was Eileen Dumont from Massachusetts and Paul Callens from Pittem, Belgium about their trans-continental collaboration in honoring US Marine aviator Ralph Talbot. link:http://www.patriotledger.com/news/20170428/fascinating-new-insight-gained-into-ralph-talbot The Great War Channel Our friends at the Great War Channel on Youtube produce videos about WW1 - 100 years ago this week  - The show is produced in Europe - so it comes from a more European perspective. This is Indy Niedel - the host of the show. [Indy clip] One of their new clips this week is called the Top 10 Stupid Moves of WW1 from Mid 1915 through 1916. Indy offers a really interesting perspective on some of the strategic blunders of the time - seen through that sharp sharp lens of hindsight. The link is in the podcast notes or search for “the great war” on youtube. Link: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar The Storyteller and the Historian We are going to close out “WW1 - 100 years ago this week” with a follow up to last week’s report about June 5th - registration day for the selective service. That is the subject for our new segment - The StoryTeller and the Historian with Richard Rubin and Jonathan Bratten. [run segment] That was - the StoryTeller - Richard Rubin and The Historian - Jonathan Bratten talking about the 1917 Selective Service act. World War One NOW We have moved forward into the present with WW1 Centennial News NOW  - News about the centennial and the commemoration. Activities and Events From the U.S. National WW1 Centennial Events Register at WW1CC.org/events - here is our upcoming “event pick” of the week:   “Decoding the Great War” is a panel discussion that will take place June 20th at the National Cryptologic Museum in Maryland. If our stories from last week about the Choctaw Code Talkers or the use of knitting as covert communications interested you, this panel is a great opportunity to learn even more about the role of codes and ciphers in WW1. This panel discussion includes experts in the evolution of Intelligence Collection, Radio Intelligence, Code Making and the first Code Talkers.

The so called Lost Battalion was surrounded by enemies and cut off in the Argonne for days -- before being saved when their famous messenger pigeon “Chere Ami” - aptly named as “dear friend” was able to relay their position for help. Commission friend and author - Rob Laplander - wrote a book called “Finding the Lost Battalion”.  Links to his book and additional information from his research on the Lost Battalion is available at  ww1cc.org/lostbattalion - all lower case - all one word. So…  the war ended a month after the incident and Whittlesey and his comrades were hailed as fabled heroes for the exploit. But the war lingered on in the Lieutenant Colonel’s mind and in 1921, just a few years after the war, Whittlesey committed suicide. Whittlesey is, by no means, alone in this fate. In a 2014 study the Veteran’s administration reported that 20 US veterans commit suicide every day. There is a detailed article about Whittlesey’s suicide in the Berkshire Eagle and we have put a number of link in the podcast notes for you. Please keep our veterans in your mind and in our heart as PTSD Awareness month continues this June. link:http://ww1cc.org/lostbattalion http://www.berkshireeagle.com/stories/lost-again-echoes-of-a-wwi-heros-suicide,508711 http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/finding-the-lost-battalion-home.html http://save22.vet/?gclid=CI2bhJicu9QCFcOCswod49oO_g https://activeheroes.org/22kill/?gclid=CITnppicu9QCFZCPswod5xAFGg http://www.militarytimes.com/story/veterans/2016/07/07/va-suicide-20-daily-research/86788332/ Education This week in Education we want to let you know about the WW1 Centennial Commission Education Newsletter, released every other month. Each issue includes an extensive selection of articles, lessons, teaching guidelines and primary sources that you can freely use, all vetted by professional historians and educators. The newsletter is produced with assistance from National History Day, American Battle Monuments Commission, the American Field Service, the Library of Congress, the National Archives and more. The upcoming week’s newsletter is themed “Animals at War” and includes articles and links for differing grade levels about the role of animals in the war. Some famous individuals are featured like Winnie the Pooh and Sgt Stubby as well as lesser known characters like Jackie the Baboon. Perhaps the most surprising critter featured is the glow worm, who played a useful if unexpected role in the war.

From Texas - there is a news story from Houston about flooding aboard the USS Texas. The Battleship Texas survived World War 1 - and then went on to survive  world war II. Now we hope she will survive the month! Periodic leaks have plagued the aging ship since 2010 and a large new one sprung up over this past weekend. By Monday June 11th, the ship was listing 8 degrees. By Tuesday 12 degrees. She needs help. Previously, needed repairs were postponed because of the high expense. There’s no news yet as to how extensive the damage will be to the battleship, but you can be certain it will come at a similarly high price tag. We hope a solution can be found so that this 103 year old historic vessel can resume its role as a site for educating the public and school children about the World Wars.

Last summer, as the Smithsonian Museum of African-American History prepared to open, some local archivists and educators began working to save the history of an African-American American Legion post in northeast D.C.   The James Reese Europe Post 5 was first established 100 years ago during World War 1, named for the noted band leader of the 369th Infantry - the Harlem Hellfighters. What’s left of the Post House is mostly just boxes of documents and photographs; so the post has teamed up with American University educators and Prologue DC to research, archive and preserve what it left of the post.

World War I is noted for the incredibly evocative war poetry it produced, notably from such soldier-poets as Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. However, very few of those well-known poets were American. Ralph Moan served with the 103d Infantry Regiment, part of the 26th “Yankee” Division made up entirely of New England units. He returned home to Maine in 1919 as a corporal to find that he had been awarded both the French Croix de Guerre and the Distinguished Service Cross for his bravery. Now that he was home, he gathered his memories of the war and its devastation -- into himself, channeling it into poetry. Though he never spoke of his experiences aloud, even to his family, his experience of the war lived on in his writings. Read his story on the Maine’s WW1 website at ww1cc.org/maine Link: ww1cc.org/maine http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/2515 https://armyhistory.org/an-unlikely-war-poet-a-doughboy-from-maine/   International Report Violin left unfinished played at his grave This week in our International Report comes a wonderful story about two young British men and the violin that brought them together across a century. Private Richard Howard began making his violin before the outbreak of world war 1, planning to finish it upon his return. Sadly, he died in the fighting on the first day of the battle of Messines ridge in June 1917, 100 years ago this month. The violin passed from person to person, being put together and finished over the course of decades. It wound up in Sam Sweeney hands - a british folk musician who somehow knew it was something special. Inside the violin was the date “1915” and Private Howard’s name,  so - Sweeney tracked down the young soldier and his descendents. In a recent ceremony, Sweeney played the soldier’s violin at his grave as Howard’s family looked on. The family hadn’t known much of anything about Howard, his own granddaughter saying “I knew nothing at all about my grandfather... I was very interested to learn about him because I had heard nothing except 'your grandfather died in the war'. People in those days didn't talk about it for fear of upsetting someone. My mother [Rose] was 11 when he died. I have to say the news when it got to me just blew me away.” Sweeney continues to tell the instrument's unique story in his show, Made in the Great War, which he is touring across the UK.   song “rose howard” named for Pvt Howard’s daughter.

The Wonder Woman in DC comic book Issue 1 that came out on July 22, 1942 - was originally set during WWII…  but this summer’s early blockbuster is set in WW1. We HAD to ask why? So we put another of our Commission’s intrepid summer interns - Paul Burgholzer to chasing down the mystery. Here is the story: Though the filmmakers have declined to de-mystify this - He found three theories - Theory ONE - From an IGN interview with producer Charles Roven. Roven says that the film was set in in World War I because it adds a culture shock aspect to Diana. Diana romanticizes war and trains in hand to hand combat. She believes that combat is an honorable competition between warriors. World War I, Roven explains, was the first major conflict where the combatants did not even see the people they were killing. In the film the WWI introduces the extreme suffering of modern warfare to Wonder Woman driving her to seek a solution.   Theory TWO - The filmmakers wanted to set themselves apart from their rivals at Marvel Comic with characters like Captain America whose story is set in WWII   Theory THREE - comes from Breitbart putting forth the theory that WW1 sets a more politically correct agenda - The writer - who wrote the article in January - predicted that the film would be strongly anti-war and that WW1 would be a better foil for that because WWII has such clear villain like Hitler.   I don’t know about that that… When I saw the movie last weekend it did not feel like much of a political statement to me at all. It just seemed like a really well made summer blockbuster, a really fun entertainment, and a really strong female lead.

Chrisinger is the editor of See Me For Who I Am, a collection of essays by veteran students that seeks to undermine three main media-create stereotypes that divide them from the American people they have fought to protect: as superhuman; as broken, disabled, and traumatized; or as dangerous, ticking time bombs. In this post, he discusses a WWI project he completed with new student veterans at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point using hundreds of letters written by WWI soldiers from the town where the university is located. Don't miss this post describing their surprising, insightful reactions!

The week of April 11 started with a flash of optimism that we might see progress on the Illinois budget impasse. By Tuesday afternoon, the optimism faded as House Speaker Michael Madigan blasted Gov. Bruce Rauner's "personal agenda" in a speech on the Illinois House Floor. That's the topic on this week's "Only in Illinois."

This week's podcast is entitled "The Adventures of Not Worrying".I started this week with some bad news.  Literally, the rug was pulled right from under me, and all that I have been working for over these past many months was in jeopardy of coming to a grinding halt.  I was in jeopardy of literally becoming penniless within a matter of days, as opposed to a few weeks, which was my reality until this past Sunday morning, and I was in despair.  I allowed myself to be run ragged with despair and worry for 24 hours, because after bad news, I think it just takes some time to process the information, and deal with it emotionally in whatever manner works best for you.  For me, this 24 hour period of “down time” is how I deal.On Monday, I said there’s nothing I can do about what’s going to happen, since I’m virtually powerless to changing the decision that was made against me, so I decided to move on, and get to dealing with the new set of problems and tasks set before me.  Essentially, I found myself worry-free, because after that 24 hour period of lamenting, I found any additional worry to be a waste of my time.By Tuesday, in less than 72 hours from having my world turned upside down, everything had turned around!  And it’s funny, because as of today, I don’t have one more dollar than I did on Sunday, but there’s tons of promise for good days ahead!So this week’s lesson that I learned: Don’t worry (or at least not that much).  I feel like kicking myself for the times that I’ve wasted fretting!  I can be honest and say, I probably will worry again, because it’s human nature, but this recent experience has taught me not to worry too much.  So, this week’s triumph is realizing that my perseverance is starting to pay off! And this week’s struggles is not getting ahead of myself and “counting my chickens before they’ve hatched”.At this point, I can say I’ve had some really positive talks and I’m convinced that the fruition of these talks will lead to immense success!What about you? Got any stories you’d like to share about worrying, or triumphing over those basic fears of worry and fret that we’re all prone too?Please feel free to leave comments below or give me your feedback directly, either by email “podcasts @ exclusivemultiplicity.com”, or by finding me on Facebook, Twitter (@KindraCotton), or LinkedIn.  You can also contact me via Skype at my name Kindra.Cotton, and you can now call me on my Google Voice line at: (201) 870-0234.  If you leave a message on my Google Voicemail line, please be sure to mention which podcast you listened to.  Click media player below to listen to this podcast.   If the player above isn't displaying, or working properly, you can also download the podcast from iTunes for free (it may take a few days for it to appear at this link, but you can subscribe directly to the podcast feed via iTunes if you want to always get new podcast episodes when they're first uploaded)!Come back next week, and have a Blessed Day!Kindra

Episode 46 of Rum Doings begins with confusion over Ghostbusters cartoons. It turns out that Nick was talking about this, while John was talking about this. Not being discussed this week: Staycations. But Nick does want to discuss synthesised theme tunes. After quite a long diversion into this week's vile drink, John steers the conversation toward the Insane Clown Posse. This video being key: This was inspired by a wonderful article by Jon Ronson, which you can read here. Then it's time for Nick's polemic against Poetry, which gives John an excuse to rage about how much he dislikes Poetry Please. And now here's your homework. A full critical analysis, and what it means, sent to our email address. By Tuesday morning, please. An ode to the tcp/ip protocols. A war of ice but doomsday thaws beneath A map of ink, once breached, a world unsaved; A frigid winter beckons, deadly wreath To words not launched, so bombs subsume the grave. But missiles questing on their morbid route Still need some tangled speech to guide them through A chain of words in terminal pursuit But wordly packets glitter forth like dew They spread themselves betwixt the frosted blades Fecundity of knowledge jumbled up Re-formed at every end in liquid braids Of speech now flowing into Man's shared cup For Cerf and allies thought it for the best That flames be naught but datagrams of text We consider if accents can be racist, ban "How are you?", and complain about dreaming. Then Nick sings for us. And then completely ignores John's attempt to sing back. There's a teaser for a future discussion of CAP Alert, and then thoughts on Mary Poppins.
