Happy “Tax Day”! I wonder what the American Revolutionary Founders would think of ‘Tax Day’, on this momentous 250th Anniversary of our American Independence…? Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer – American Archive of Public Broadcasting [x] 48:56--49:39 JIM LEHRER: What is the proper relationship, what should be the proper relationship between a chairman of the Fed and a president of the United States? ALAN GREENSPAN: Well, first of all, the Federal Reserve is an independent agency, and that means, basically, that there is no other agency of government which can overrule actions that we take. So long as that is in place and there is no evidence that the administration or the Congress or anybody else is requesting that we do things other than what we think is the appropriate thing, then what the relationships are don’t, frankly, matter. And I’ve had very good relationships with presidents. 1. [x] Understanding Fractional Reserve Banking: How It Fuels Economic Growth Fractional reserve banking is the banking system most countries use today. It requires banks to hold only a fraction of the money their customers deposit. That amount is the reserve requirement, and in most countries, it is set by the central bank. Banks can loan the rest of their deposits to other customers, which serves to expand the economy. It works like this. Banks accept deposits from individuals and businesses providing them with savings and checking accounts in return. Banks can loan out the bulk of those deposits to other customers to buy homes or cars, start businesses, or to fund other projects. If a customer deposits $100,000 into a bank and the reserve requirement is 5%, the bank can loan $95,000 out to other customers. Once the bank has loaned out $95,000, it in essence has created $195,000. Customers borrow that $95,000 and deposit some or all of it into other banks. If the reserve requirement is still 5%, then the other banks can loan $90,250 to new customers. And the process keeps repeating itself. Financial crisis occurs when the fractional banking system breaks down and the money supply does not expand. Many US banks had to shut down during the Great Depression, because so many people attempted to withdraw their money at the same time. Today, safeguards exist to prevent such an occurrence. 1.

There is no saying where this fire will end. Perhaps in the general conflagration of all their paper. …nothing is necessary but a general panic, produced either by failures, invasion or any other cause, and the whole visionary fabric vanishes into air and shews that paper is poverty, that it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself.

[x] Letter from Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval (1816) – Teaching American History We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers. Our landholders, too, like theirs, retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must wander, like theirs, in foreign countries, and be contented with penury, obscurity, exile, and the glory of the nation. This example reads to us the salutary lesson, that private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, and to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia, which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression. [x] Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address (Mar 4, 1837) | The American Presidency Project The severe lessons of experience will, I doubt not, be sufficient to prevent Congress from again chartering such a monopoly, even if the Constitution did not present an insuperable objection to it. But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States as well as in the Federal Government. The power which the moneyed interest can exercise, when concentrated under a single head and with our present system of currency, was sufficiently demonstrated in the struggle made by the Bank of the United States.

[x] hypothecate – definition and meaning [x] Websters 1828 – Webster’s Dictionary 1828 – Hypothecate HYPOTH’ECATE, verb transitive [Latin hypotheca, a pledge; Gr. to put under, to suppose.] 1. To pledge, and properly to pledge the keel of a ship, that is, the ship itself, as security for the repayment of money borrowed to carry on a voyage. In this case the lender hazards the loss of his money by the loss of the ship, but if the ship returns safe, he received his principal, with the premium or interest agreed on, though it may exceed the legal rate of interest. 2. To pledge, as goods. [x] 321gold: Gold and Economic Freedom by Alan Greenspan 1966 In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.

Accessed 15 Apr. 2026. It has been confirmed that the Tsarnaev family, at least to some degree, have been connected to the Central Intelligence Agency for almost 20 years. In 1995, Ruslan Tsarni (formerly known as Ruslan Tsarnaev, affectionately known as “Uncle Ruslan,” the American corporate media darling who bemoaned the alleged actions of his nephews Dzhokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev ) married the daughter of the former Deputy Director of the CIA's National Council on Intelligence, Graham Fuller. While the marriage of Samantha Ankara Fuller and Ruslan Tsarnaev was short-lived, reportedly ending in divorce in 1999, it appears that Ruslan and Graham Fuller were more than just father-in-law and son.  They may also been business partners. These key details in the history of the Tsarnaev family and the CIA were first reported by Daniel Hopsicker of Mad Cow Morning News, and the marriage of Fuller's daughter and Ruslan has indeed been confirmed by Al-Monitor reporter, Laura Rozen. ↩ Hopsicker, Daniel. “Boston Bombers' Uncle Married Daughter of Top CIA Official.” MadCow Morning News, 26 Apr. 2013, www.madcowprod.com/2013/04/26/boston-bombers-uncle-married-daughter-of-top-cia-official/.

DescriptionThe musicians of the Titanic all died when the ship sank in 1912. They played music, intending to calm the passengers, for as long as they possibly could. Take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactThere are no indications that the Titanic's band members ever attempted to save themselves, and all of them died in the sinking. Most people regard them as musical heroes, who helped to bring comfort and beauty to passengers' final moments and avoid panic. __________________________________________________________________About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.

In 1912, the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage, hitting an iceberg and took over 1500 individuals to a watery grave. In this edition of Spirit Speak, Exploring the Afterlife we will use our gift of spirit communication to speak with multiple spirits that were aboard the ship. We will begin by speaking with the spirit of the captain of the ship, E.J. Smith, the lookout that spotted the iceberg, Frederick Fleet, John Jacob Astor IV, one of the richest men at the time that perished on the ship; Wallace Hartley, the bandmaster and Molly Brown a survivor. Please join us on the VoiceAmerica, Variety channel, to hear the stories of common individuals showing uncommon bravery.

Welcome to April 15, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the ripple effect and taking a wild guess.   Today marks the 110th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, one of the greatest tragedies in modern history. There are many stories of that fateful night, but one of the most inspiring is that of the ship's band, led by Wallace Hartley. As the Titanic slowly submerged, the band played on, doing its best to calm the nerves of the panicked travelers. Even as their own fates became certain, the musicians kept on, leading people in a chorus of hymns. The few survivors remembered this selfless act, and when Hartley's body was recovered, he was celebrated as a hero. Over 30,000 people paid their respects at his funeral. On National Titanic Remembrance Day, we reflect on our own ripple effect and the small acts that may also be remembered. Marlo: Hey Anna did you know that it's National Take a Wild Guess Day? Wanna play Take A Wild Guess? The unicorn is the National Animal of which country? Anna: Okay, can you name the largest living organism on planet earth?

When the Titanic finally lost its battle with the North Atlantic sea and disappeared into the abyss below the waves, it was and still is one of the worst maritime disasters to ever take place. Taking with it over 1,500 lives, it is without a doubt one of the most famous tragedies in modern day history. The story itself is well known. Nicknamed the "unsinkable ship", after having departed Southampton, England on the 10th April 1912, the Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage to travel to New York City. The ship had contained a mixture of class of passenger, from millionaires and businessmen, to the lower class of society who were eager to begin a new life in America. But just five days into the journey, disaster struck when the ships starboard side scraped alongside a giant iceberg that had already been reported floating around 400 nautical miles south off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The rest, as we know is history, and the story of the Titanic has been written in many books, as well as turned in movies and documentaries, with some perhaps adding mythology into the mix. And this brings us to the story of a small group of courageous men, and one in particular, who have quite rightly become the epitome of the heroics that took place during that frightening and devastating morning on Monday, 15th April, 1912. For more information on Wallace Hartley and his story, please visit our website at www.daysofhorror.com

Le 12 avril 1912, vers 23h30, le RMS Titanic heurte un iceberg. Alors que le paquebot s'enfonce peu à peu dans l'océan glacé, l'orchestre dirigé par le violoniste Wallace Hartley (1878-1912) joue des airs entraînants pour éviter que les passagers ne paniquent...

The Titanic Violin

A Nova Scotia songwriter and luthier has written a lament for Wallace Hartley, the violinist who played a hymn to passengers on the Titanic as the ship sank into the Atlantic.

Barry and Connie Strohm channel 5 spirits that were involved in the sinking of the Titanic. They interview Captain Smith, Wallace Hartley the bandmaster, Molly Brown, John Jacob Astor who died on the ship and Frederick Fleet, the lookout that spotted the iceberg.

These are some smart mollusks! And then, the long, unlikely journey of a broken violin that sold for 1.6 million dollars. Cuttlefish are smarter than your toddler and the unbelievable tale of Wallace Hartley's violin! It’s BOX309! Do not remove this disclaimer under penalty of law.

Captivating subject...Such history, such lingering pain...Such mystery...The "title" said it all...Of course, we can't help ourselves when it comes to silliness and levity...We need more of that in our world!  We hope you enjoy! 

John opens by reminder listeners that everything sucks right now... and he and Jon are playing the part of Wallace Hartley's Orchestra on the Titanic. (Look it up.)Then on to lighter topics... such as John's exercise routine, how much the guys hat the bottom freezer drawer on refrigerators and Jon's addiction to Lean Cuisine's Swedish Meatballs.When exactly do you get the "Runner's High", and is there a way to skip directly to that part?Do the dentist and the hygienist always seem to have "a thing" going on, or is that just in Jon and John's heads?Pigs in a blanket... air fryers... and blow dart guns.But really, this episode is all about Tater Tots.

Move aside, Spiderman! This week, we'll be exploring the fascinating history of Tarantism – a peculiar phenomena involving spider bites & dancing plagues! We'll also be discussing the tragic story of Wallace Hartley's violin, which brought calm and comfort to so many during the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Thanks for listening!

Get Veronica’s book.Follow Veronica on Twitter @FoodStringerSee more about Veronica’s on her website.Read her article below! In These Uncertain dDays, Inspiring Stories from the Titanicby Veronica Hinke A video of violinists wearing life jackets in the toilet paper aisle of a grocery store went viral on St. Patrick’s Day. As disheartening as it is that a parody was made out of the incredible story of the men who performed on deck of the Titanic as she sunk on April 14, 1912, the video, which has been watched by millions now, is still a sharp reminder to us of the many courageous people who stayed strong in the face of uncertainty. In the case of the Titanic band, survivors said that the band played Autumn, Lead Kindly Light and more for as long as they could.    “We’re just going to play a little bit to lift people’s spirits,” Titanic First Violinist John (“Jock”) Hume said to his friend Stewardess Violet Jessop – with his violin in tow – as he bumped into her in his scuttle up the narrow stairwell to the boat deck where he was to meet his fellow bandmates.  Nine weeks after the sinking, second class passenger Lawrence Beesley published his account of that last night aboard the Titanic. It was titled The Loss of the S.S. Titanic. Beesley recalled: “Many brave things were done that night, but none were more brave than those done by men playing minute after minute as the ship settled quietly lower and lower in the sea. The music they played served alike as their own immortal requiem and their right to be recalled on the scrolls of undying fame.”  Their story still resonates loudly. Three years ago, the violin that band master Wallace Hartley was playing that night sold at auction for $1.7 million dollars. When I wrote The Last Night on The Titanic (Regnery, 2019) – fumbling between the sudden, unexplained death of my 74-year-old mother and my own surgeries and treatments for triple negative breast cancer – my motivation to keep going was to further the stories of so many brave people.  Mr. Rogers said his mother told him: “Fred, in times of trouble, look for the helpers; there will always be helpers.” Aboard the Titanic, the helpers rose up out of unimaginable circumstances. Their stories are powerful lessons for us during these uncertain days, and always.  Margaret (“Molly”) Brown In the Titanic lifeboats and even in years after the disaster, one of the most remarkable of the helpers was Margaret (“Molly”) Brown. In August 1987, about 453 miles south of Newfoundland, a diver found a gold nugget necklace. Some believe the necklace belonged to Molly. She was a first class Titanic passenger with a rags-to-riches story. As a little girl growing up in Hannibal, Missouri, Molly helped support her family by stripping tobacco leaves. Her father was an Irish immigrant ditch digger, and Molly married a man who worked in the silver mines. He struck gold shortly into their marriage, making them incredibly wealthy overnight, however Molly always said: “I’d rather marry a poor man that I love than a rich man that I didn’t.” At the storied Brown Palace Hotel in Denver, Molly is still known for having “a heart as big as a ham,” which is how she was described in one of the movies that told about her life. For many years, she handed out Christmas gifts, in person, to every housemaid, bellman, doorman and server at the hotel, where she stayed and held press conferences after she survived the Titanic. Margaret even got the Brown Palace Hotel staff a little Christmas tree for the front desk. She held fundraisers there for some of the causes she helped with, including Catholic Charities and the Dumb Friends League, a non-profit animal shelter and humane society. In 1900, she and Benjamin Guggenheim, who was also aboard the Titanic, provided a full holiday banquet at the hotel for 1,500 of Denver’s less fortunate.  In Titanic lifeboat 6, Molly persisted in her care for others. There was tension between Molly and Titanic quartermaster Robert Hichens. Hichens was steering the ship when it hit the iceberg, and Molly would later identify him as a “bully” in the lifeboat. They fought over his reluctancy to pick up more passengers. However, she kept her focus while in the lifeboat, and managed to help women stay warm by encouraging them to row.   Once finally aboard the rescue ship Carpathia, Margaret distributed food, handed out cups of drinks, and passed out blanket after blanket. While still on board, she organized a fund drive for those who would be most in need when they reached New York City. The Survivor’s Committee raised nearly $10,000. Today, this would be worth almost $250,000.  Unable to testify in the U.S. Senate hearings, because she was a woman, she persisted in doing whatever she could. She helped establish the Titanic Memorial in Washington, D.C. and galvanized others in the fight for workers’ rights, women’s rights and education. She worked to start the first juvenile court and helped organize the National American Women’s Suffrage Association. Even before the Nineteenth Amendment, Margaret ran for office— for a seat in the Colorado state Senate in 1901, and in 1914, two years after surviving the Titanic, for a seat in the U.S. Senate. Margaret organized an international women’s rights conference in Newport, Rhode Island in 1914 and started a support branch for relief for soldiers in France during WWI. She persisted in benevolent work until her death from an aneurism in the Barbizon Hotel in New York City in October 1932.  Charles Joughin In movies about the Titanic, head baker Charles Joughin is depicted as drinking heavily during the sinking. In the James Cameron movie, Charles holds onto the railing with one hand and takes a swig from his flask with the other. Weeks after the Titanic sank, Joughin told British inquiry officials that, at one point, he went down to his bunk to “have a nip.” He also told them what happened beforehand.  After he led his crew in stocking the lifeboats with loaves of bread, Charles went up to the boat deck and assisted with loading lifeboats. Having worked on ships since he was a little boy, he knew his disaster checklist well. On the Thursday before the disaster, right after he boarded, he noted his lifeboat assignment for the trip. Lifeboat 10. But after he helped fill up his assigned lifeboat someone else was assigned to board it as crew and row it. Even though this was Charles’ job to do, he was not given the direction to board. When he realized that he would not have a spot in a lifeboat, he went down to his bunk for a nip. But afterward, Charles came back up to the boat deck, and he noticed the deck chairs. The heavy wooden chairs might be enough to hold people up, he thought. He threw as many as he could of the enormously heavy chairs up high and into the ocean – far enough away from the ship to hopefully avoid the suction that would occur when she went completely under. Charles threw many so there might be enough for everyone. He used strength that he knew he would likely need later in the water. Through a string of miracles, Charles survived the sinking of the Titanic. Back at home, he continued to consider the needs of others. He rarely talked about the Titanic, and when he did, he turned his story into a whimsical tale to shield the children – for whom he relished in making Christening cakes, chocolate eclairs and more – from the reality of his experiences. “I knew it was an iceberg,” he told the children, “because I saw a polar bear, and he waved at me.”  Charles went back to life at sea, the only life he’d ever known, and even survived another historic maritime accident: He was the baker aboard the SS Congress when it caught fire in Coos Bay, Oregon, on Thursday, September 14, 1916. Charles lived until 1956 in Paterson, New Jersey.      Edith Rosenbaum Russell Edith Rosenbaum Russell was traveling aboard the Titanic in first class on her way to New York City from Paris. Thirty-three and as fit as a gazelle, Edith was one of the most fabulously glamorous women in the world, and she covered all the latest fashion news for Women’s Wear Daily. Beautiful, stunning Edith was the inspiration to young girls everywhere with her career as fashion buyer for some of the most stylish stores in the United States. Edith had just completed the coveted assignment of reporting the Easter Sunday fashions in Paris. Edith’s father was an incredibly wealthy man who ran department stores, where people bought capes, cloaks and coats, (some made from seal hide), cheviot suit jackets and more.  A few months before the Titanic, in August 1911, Edith had only narrowly escaped death in a horrific automobile accident near Rouen, France. “I’m accident prone,” she quipped. “I’ve been in shipwrecks, car crashes, fires, floods, and tornadoes. I’ve had every disaster but bubonic plague and a husband.”  On April 14, here she was again, facing the possibility of death. When she climbed into Titanic lifeboat 11, she left 19 trunks back in her cabin. But she kept one thing with her: a music box in the shape of a pig. When you wound the pig’s tail, it played the song of the maxixe (a Brazilian dance tune). To reassure the children in her lifeboat, Edith wound and rewound the pig’s tail all night long, cold night – so dark that occasionally the tip of a rope was lit so passengers could see who was right next to them.  Edith’s bravery in the iceberg-covered waters of the Atlantic in the wee hours of April 15, 1912 reminded me of Dina Babbitt’s selfless bravery at Auschwitz when she mustered enough strength to painstakingly decorate a wall with cheerful scenes of Disney’s Snow White. Dina survived Auschwitz, went on to work as an illustrator with Disney in California – and married co-worker Art Babbitt, the man who created Disney’s “Goofy.” Edith lived until April 4, 1975. When she passed away in London, her musical pig was still with her.   Join our community, get links to past episodes, or drop us a line.Women Beyond a Certain Age is an award-winning weekly podcast by Denise Vivaldo and Diane Worthington.
