A Brick and a Bible
Black Women’s Radical Activism in the Midwest during the Great Depression Melissa Ford
“In A Brick and a Bible, radical Black working-class women take center stage as the shapers of their own destinies. By charting these women’s diverse engagement with Communist-affiliated groups across the Midwest, Melissa Ford reveals the centrality of the region as a key site for Black radical politics. With clarity and grace, Ford recovers the stories of Black women determined to bring an end to race, gender, and class oppression.”—Keisha N.

In this first study of Black radicalism in midwestern cities before the civil rights movement, Melissa Ford connects the activism of Black women who championed justice during the Great Depression to those involved in the Ferguson Uprising and the Black Lives Matter movement. A Brick and a Bible examines how African American working-class women, many of whom had just migrated to “the promised land” only to find hunger, cold, and unemployment, forged a region of revolutionary potential. A Brick and a Bible theorizes a tradition of Midwestern Black radicalism, a praxis-based ideology informed by but divergent from American Communism. Midwestern Black radicalism contests that interlocking systems of oppression directly relate the distinct racial, political, geographic, economic, and gendered characteristics that make up the American heartland. This volume illustrates how, at the risk of their careers, their reputations, and even their lives, African American working-class women in the Midwest used their position to shape a unique form of social activism. Case studies of Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, and Cleveland—hotbeds of radical activism—follow African American women across the Midwest as they participated in the Ford Hunger March, organized the Funsten Nut Pickers’ strike, led the Sopkin Dressmakers’ strike, and supported the Unemployed Councils and the Scottsboro Boys’ defense. Ford profoundly reimagines how we remember and interpret these “ordinary” women doing extraordinary things across the heartland. Once overlooked, their activism shaped a radical tradition in midwestern cities that continues to be seen in cities like Ferguson and Minneapolis today.

Duty beyond the Battlefield
African American Soldiers Fight for Racial Uplift, Citizenship, and Manhood, 1870–1920 Le’Trice D. Donaldson
“Deeply researched and powerfully argued, Duty beyond the Battlefield is a significant contribution to the history of black soldiers, manhood, and citizenship. With this fascinating book, Le’Trice D. Donaldson has established herself as one of the leading scholars of African American military history.”—Chad L. Williams, author of Torchbearers of Democracy: African American Soldiers in the World War I Era
Race warriors, citizenship, heroism, and manhood after the Civil War In a bold departure from previous scholarship, Le’Trice D. Donaldson locates the often overlooked era between the Civil War and the end of World War I as the beginning of Black soldiers’ involvement in the long struggle for civil rights. Donaldson traces the evolution of these soldiers as they used their military service to challenge White notions of an African American second-class citizenry and forged a new identity as freedom fighters willing to demand the rights of full citizenship and manhood. Through extensive research, Donaldson not only illuminates this evolution but also interrogates the association between masculinity and citizenship and the ways in which performing manhood through military service influenced how these men struggled for racial uplift. Following the Buffalo soldier units and two regular army infantry units from the frontier and the Mexican border to Mexico, Cuba, and the Philippines, Donaldson investigates how these locations and the wars therein provide windows into how the soldiers’ struggles influenced Black life and status within the United States. Continuing to probe the idea of what it meant to be a military race man—a man concerned with the uplift of the Black race who followed the philosophy of progress—Donaldson contrasts the histories of officers Henry Flipper and Charles Young, two soldiers who saw their roles and responsibilities as Black military officers very differently. Duty beyond the Battlefield demonstrates that from the 1870s to the 1920s military race men laid the foundation for the “New Negro” movement and the rise of Black Nationalism that influenced the future leaders of the twentieth-century civil rights movement.
Le’Trice D. Donaldson, an assistant professor of African American and U.S. history at the Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, is the author of A Voyage through the African American Experience.

Organizing Freedom Black Emancipation Activism in the Civil War Midwest Jennifer R. Harbour
“Jennifer R. Harbour deftly teases out everyday acts of bravery in the Black communities of Illinois and Indiana in their pursuit of emancipation as a conscious, concerted, collective, and ongoing action. With vivid examples she reveals men, women, and children not only surviving in a threatening environment but also defining the terms of freedom as something greater than the absence of slavery. This is an important contribution to Underground Railroad, abolitionist, and Civil War studies.”—Leigh Fought, author of Women in the World of Frederick Douglass

Organizing Freedom is a riveting and significant social history of Black emancipation activism in Indiana and Illinois during the Civil War era. By enlarging the definition of emancipation to include Black activism, author Jennifer R. Harbour details the aggressive, tenacious defiance through which Midwestern African Americans—particularly Black women—made freedom tangible for themselves. Despite banning slavery, Illinois and Indiana share an antebellum history of severely restricting rights for free Black people while protecting the rights of slaveholders. Nevertheless, as Harbour shows, Black Americans settled there, and in a liminal space between legal slavery and true freedom, they focused on their main goals: creating institutions like churches, schools, and police watches; establishing citizenship rights; arguing against oppressive laws in public and in print; and, later, supporting their communities throughout the Civil War. Harbour’s sophisticated gendered analysis features Black women as being central to the seeking of emancipated freedom. Her distinct focus on what military service meant for the families of Black Civil War soldiers elucidates how Black women navigated life at home without a male breadwinner at the same time they began a new, public practice of emancipation activism. During the tumult of war, Midwestern Black women negotiated relationships with local, state, and federal entities through the practices of philanthropy, mutual aid, religiosity, and refugee and soldier relief. This story of free Black people shows how the ideal of equality often competed against reality in an imperfect nation. As they worked through the sluggish, incremental process to achieve abolition and emancipation, Midwestern Black activists created a unique regional identity.

The Ordeal of the Jungle Race and the Chicago Federation of Labor, 1903–1922 David Bates
“The Ordeal of the Jungle is a timely contribution to the ongoing conversation between the past and the present not only in the fields of labor and African American history but also in movements for the advancement of working people and people of color.”—Peter Rachleff, author of Black Labor in Richmond, 1865–1890
A radical retelling of labor movement collapse Between 1910 and 1920, the Chicago Federation of Labor (CFL) inaugurated a massive organizing drive in the city’s meatpacking and steel industries. Although the CFL sought legitimately progressive goals, worked earnestly to organize an interracial union, and made major inroads among both Black and White workers, their efforts resulted in a bitter defeat. David Bates provides a clear picture of how even the most forward-looking of actions can grind to a halt. By organizing workers into neighborhood locals, which connected workplace struggles to ethnic and religious identities, the CFL facilitated a surge in the organization’s membership, particularly among African American workers, and afforded the federation the opportunity to aggressively confront employers. The CFL’s innovative structure, however, was ultimately its demise. Linking union locals to neighborhoods proved to be a form of de facto segregation. Over time union structures, rank-and-file conflicts, and employer resistance combined to turn the union’s hopeful calls for solidarity into animosity and estrangement. Tensions were exacerbated by violent shop floor confrontations and exploded in the bloody 1919 Chicago Race Riot. By the early 1920s, the CFL had collapsed. The Ordeal of the Jungle explores the choices of a variety of people while showing a complex, overarching interplay of Black and White workers and their employers. In addition to analyzing union structures and on-the-ground relations between workers, Bates synthesizes and challenges previous scholarship on interracial organizing to explain the failure of progressive unionism in Chicago.
David Bates is an assistant professor of history at Concordia University Chicago. He is a regular contributor to the Illinois Reading Council Journal and has also contributed to the Journal of Interdisciplinary History and The Encyclopedia of American Reform Movements.

Fight Like a Tiger
Conway Barbour and the Challenges of the Black Middle Class in Nineteenth-Century America Victoria L. Harrison
“Victoria L. Harrison brings to light the singular Conway Barbour, a mid-nineteenthcentury man on the move. Her meticulous research and lucid prose lead readers into Barbour’s previously hidden life; in the process she challenges how we think about class, race, and place.”—Dana Elizabeth Weiner, author of Race and Rights: Fighting Slavery and Prejudice in the Old Northwest, 1830–1870
Paper: 978-0-8093-3677-7 E-book: 978-0-8093-3678-4 $27.50, 184 pages, 20 illus.
Focusing on the life of ambitious former slave Conway Barbour, Victoria L. Harrison argues that the idea of a Black middle class traced its origins to the free Black population of the mid-nineteenth century and developed alongside the idea of a White middle class. Harrison’s argument about Black class formation reframes the customary narrative of downtrodden free African Americans in the mid-nineteenth century and engages current discussions of Black inclusion, the concept of “otherness,” and the breaking down of societal barriers. Demonstrating that careful research can reveal the stories of people who have been invisible to history, Fight Like a Tiger complicates our understanding of the intersection of race and class in the Civil War era.
Victoria L. Harrison is an instructor in the Department of Historical Studies at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. She has published essays in the Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society and Ohio Valley History.
From Slave to State Legislator John W. E. Thomas, Illinois’ First African American Lawmaker David A. Joens

As the first African American elected to the Illinois general assembly, John W. E. Thomas was the recognized leader of the state’s African American community for nearly twenty years and laid the groundwork for the success of future Black leaders in Chicago politics. Despite his key role in the passage of Illinois’ first civil rights act and his commitment to improving his community against steep personal and political barriers, Thomas’s life and career have been long forgotten by historians and the public alike. This fascinating fulllength biography—the first to address the full influence of Thomas or any Black politician from Illinois during the Reconstruction Era—is also a pioneering effort to explain the dynamics of African American politics and divisions within the black community in post–Civil War Chicago.
David A. Joens is the director of the Illinois State Archives and the author of numerous articles on Illinois political history.
Black Writing from Chicago In the World, Not of It?
Edited by Richard R. Guzman “A heady mix of old-school agitprop and literary wonderment, a testimony not only to the multitude of great Black writers who were born or passed through here, but to the myriad forms literature may take.”—Jonathan Messinger, Time Out Chicago Black Writing from Chicago: In the World, Not of It? takes readers on a cultural trip through Chicago’s literary history. Editor Richard R. Guzman compiles the first comprehensive collection of the works of Chicago’s Black writers from 1861 to the present day. The anthology, which includes works from newspaper writing, poetry, fiction, drama, essays, and historical and social commentary, seeks not only to represent a broad range of writings but also to focus tightly on such themes as hope and despair, racism and equality, spirituality and religion. More than sixty writers, from the anonymous “J. W. M. (Colored)” to Ken Green, unfold a story that reflects the literary periods in Black American history. Each author’s selection is preceded by a biographical and a bibliographical introduction. Readers interested in Chicago, race relations, and literature, as well as scholars of history, sociology, urban studies, and cultural studies, will find the collection invaluable.

Virginia Hasn’t Always Been for Lovers
Interracial Marriage Bans and the Case of Richard and Mildred Loving Phyl Newbeck
“A clearly written, accessible, well-organized, and remarkably researched history of the path-breaking Loving case.”—Michael Meltsner, Harvard Law School and Northeastern Law School This landmark volume chronicles the history of laws banning interracial marriage in the United States with particular emphasis on the case of Richard and Mildred Loving, a White man and a Black woman who were convicted by the state of Virginia of the crime of marrying across racial lines in the late 1950s. The Lovings were not activists, but their battle to live together as husband and wife in their home state instigated the 1967 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that antimiscegenation laws were unconstitutional, which ultimately resulted in the overturning of laws against interracial marriage that were still in effect in sixteen states by the late 1960s.

From Du Bois to Obama African American Intellectuals in the Public Forum Charles Pete Banner-Haley
“This is a substantial, wide-ranging, imaginative, and significant contribution to the literature on African American intellectuals. Rooted firmly in historical analysis, From Du Bois to Obama deepens our understanding of the African American intellectual experience.”—Louis Ferleger, Boston University
Paper: 978-0-8093-3348-6 E-book: 978-0-8093-8562-1 $20, 182 pages
In his groundbreaking book Charles Pete Banner-Haley explores the history of African American intellectualism and reveals the efforts of Black intellectuals in the ongoing struggle against racism, showing how they have responded to Jim Crow segregation, violence against Black Americans, and the more subtle racism of the postintegration age. BannerHaley asserts that African American intellectuals—including academicians, social critics, activists, and writers—serve to generate debate, policy, and change, acting as a moral force to persuade Americans to acknowledge their history of slavery and racism, become more inclusive and accepting of humanity, and take responsibility for social justice.

He is the author of To Do Good and to Do Well: Middle Class Blacks and the Depression, Philadelphia, 1929–1941 and The Fruits of Integration: Black Middle Class Ideology and Culture, 1960–1990.
It’s Good to be Black Ruby Berkley Goodwin
“Episodes in the childhood of Ruby Berkley speak of the proud, just and generous family of Negroes living in Southern Illinois before the First World War. Since Dad was a coal miner, there is plenty of drama and pathos. But the great thing here is the family’s tolerance of their polyglot neighbors who are also their friends.”—Library Journal “Is it good to be Black? To Ruby Berkley Goodwin it was....The Black she writes about has nothing to do with skin color, but it does have a great deal to do with self images, values, spiritual strength, and most of all love. Unlike the contradicting definitions of Blackness we see reflected in today’s crime statistics, movies, television, newspapers, political speeches, advertisements, and sociological reports, Ruby Berkley Goodwin’s definition of Blackness is simple and to the point: Black is good. It’s Good to be Black is more than the story (history) of a Black family living in Du Quoin, Illinois, during the early 1900s; it is a reaffirmation for all of us who know in our hearts that there is still good in the world and that some of that good is Black.”—Carmen Kenya Wadley, in the Preface Paper: 978-0-8093-3122-2 E-book: 978-0-8093-3123-9 $19.95, 280 pages

Knock at the Door of Opportunity Black Migration to Chicago, 1900-1919 Christopher Robert Reed
“Reed challenges depressive stereotypes of Black urban life by closely examining the variegated dimensions of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Black Chicago. He paints a vivid picture of entrepreneurial enterprises and institution building of a people who were unwilling to accept victimization and racial oppression. This work is a powerful revelation of Black American agency, resiliency, and courage.”—Dr. Clovis E. Semmes, author of The Regal Theater and Black Culture Disputing the so-called ghetto studies that depicted the early part of the twentieth century as the nadir of African American society, this thoughtful volume investigates Black life in turn-ofthe-century Chicago, revealing a vibrant community that grew and developed on Chicago’s South Side in the early 1900s. Reed also explores the impact of the fifty thousand Black southerners who streamed into the city during the Great Migration of 1916–1918, effectively doubling Chicago’s African American population. Those already residing in Chicago’s Black neighborhoods had a lot in common with those who migrated, Reed demonstrates, and the two groups became unified, building a broad community base able to face discrimination and prejudice while contributing to Chicago’s growth and development.

Black Legislators in Louisiana during Reconstruction Charles Vincent
“[A] classic in the field of African American history—one of the ground-breaking works that helped pave the way for the scholarship that would follow.”—John C. Rodrigue, author of Reconstruction in the Cane Fields: From Slavery to Free Labor in Louisiana’s Sugar Parishes, 1862-1880 When originally published, Charles Vincent’s scholarship shed new light on the achievements of Black legislators in the state legislatures in post-Civil War Louisiana—a state where Black people were a majority in the state population but a minority in the legislature. Now updated with a new preface, this volume endures as an important work that illustrates the strength of minorities in state government during Reconstruction. It focuses on the achievements of the Black representatives and senators in the Louisiana legislature who, through tireless fighting, were able to push forward many progressive reforms, such as universal public education, and social programs for the less fortunate.
Charles Vincent is a professor of history at Southern University and A&M College. He is the author of A Centennial History of Southern University and A&M College, 1880-1980, and the editor of three volumes of The African American Experience in Louisiana.

tv Boom Bust RT December 31, 2019 5:30am-6:00am EST
visit washington this week where he is expected to sign phase one of the agreement however political concerns continue to bubble in the background as neither side has released any specific details of the trade agreement and no text has been released while the u.s. t.r. has released a mere fact sheet outlining what it claimed to be in the deal which included $80000000000.00 in ag purchases over 2 years analysts consensus is that these figures do not add up and remain impossible benchmarks to fulfill it looks like the best we can hope for in the space one of the d. a trade deal is merely a point of truce in the bitter trade war rather than any real substantial changes which really begs the question of why even start a trade war if at the end nothing changed and you've wasted an entire year of economic productivity to help us answer this question and more we bring in professor richard wolfe host of economic update so richard this entire thing has been political theater from the start and you called it and now they've been
dragging this phase one out for a long time a signing ceremony translations legal scrubs more and more fluff trickling little bits of information every single day to give the markets an illusion of progress but is this thing actually going to get signed i mean multiple analysts have already came out and said that the benchmark exports set by the u.s. are simply unfeasible as they have exceeded that of 2017 why would china agree to something like that. well i think for the chinese it's a question of gaining time for them this entire sauce started with the initiative of mr trump it's political theater we've said for a long designed to make mr trump appear for his reelection bid as the protector of the united states making the charlie knees and for that matter everybody else in the world give the united states a better deal beating up on the foreigners for cheating that's as old as methuselah in the world of politics. next and mr trump is trying it again the chinese know
that that can hurt them as it has but they also know that it hurts mr trump's reelection bid because it hurts manufacturing farmers and others so the best bottom line is it's a theater driven by a calculus mr trump's calculus how much does the theater gain me and the how much does the theater lose me and what every resigned this coming week it will be overwhelmed by how that calculus shifts between now and election day next nor the november but if the chinese side to side to sign something that they simply can't deliver on because these are impossible benchmarks to fulfill of us we said then wouldn't it just be a question of if not when that like how chinese will default in the so-called agreements. i think this through a bit more complicated the chinese understand that they get some real immediate
advantages tariffs that were set to go into effect won't now that's been agreed to tariffs that were imposed in september are going to be either eliminated or removed it's still true that half of what comes from china is subject roughly to a 25 percent tower of but that's less damaging then they would have had to live with if they hadn't made this deal and they'd know because they've watched mr trump that whatever they saw and now and what ever the conditions are none of that matters a month from now let alone 3 or 6 compared to what mr trump will be calculating as to the advantage or disadvantage of finding the chinese one thing on the one hand or finding them a partner to sign the deal with on the other he'll be watching the stock market to help him decide which way to go. it's going to be
a continuous theater that we have to keep on watching i guess for the rest of point money is not going to change volatility is here to stay it seems now to us merchandising trade deficit trying to the naira since 2016 in november imports fell an export rose and now we're sitting on 63200000000 in deficit so while the trump administration as you said is pointing to this and saying oh the trade war work isn't this great this is only half the story the u.s. typically runs a deficit in merchandise and then a surplus in services so what conclusions should we draw here. from these numbers for the last month no conclusion it's never a smart move to use any month let alone one narrow to draw such conclusions we'll have to wait and see for example the decline in imports for the united states which helps our balance could simply reflect the fact that we're having more and more economic troubles for the mass of people 'd and they're just not buying the stuff that they used to buy some of which is imported and so you can see that there's
a kind of multi level factors playing here very very premature to draw conclusions . so now the w t l has reported that the u.s. china and germany they have benefited the most from global free trade their combined revenue in one year was $239000000000.00 so despite all these benefits of this organization but the retail future is now uncertain at is facing some unprecedented pressures from washington so what's going to happen at the u.s. continues to block appointments of the new appellate judges and if they were to fail when the u.s. stand to lose out as well. everybody asks that question that's the right question to ask but here's the fact that has to be faced the w t o like other agreements depends on a certain minimum good faith of all the participants mr trump has distinguished himself by not playing by those rules he has disrupted everything as he's done so
intentionally at least made sure everybody knows it the short run advantage is all the headlines go to him the short run advantage is he looks like the great protector of the us in the way he hypes it but the long run is what we're going to have to live through and in the long run damaging the w t o is teaching everyone china germany but the whole world that relying on the leadership of the united states is too dangerous to continue you cannot rely on something as unstable and its foreign policy as the united states has been if you want to be the world leader which the united states was you cannot do what mr trump has been doing and we will be living with the results of the readjustment of world trade taking into account the only reliability of the united
states in the way we never had to do since the end of the such a world. ward i'm so glad you brought that up because right now everybody is saying oh my god we're at what we're up 27 percent this year this is because spectacular run for the market better than any previous administration but yet you bring up the fact that there are will be long term consequences so can you bring us some of these long term consequences despite the fact that the markets are now at all time highs. absolutely let me give you 2 or 3 examples the 1st one more and more countries not just china and russia but other countries are deciding not to use the dollar anymore as the international currency with which to conduct their trade their distress their deceased i wish i'd put it there disengagement from the dollar will cost the united states in years to come number $2.00 they're not looking to the united states for leadership they're finding their own agreements signing their
own bilateral arrangements and not just economically but also politically and militarily the cost to the united states of being excluded in these parts of the world by these actions is incalculable and 3rd and perhaps the most important all along you can't count on the united states as a market because of the tariffs the use by mr trump of cutting you off by hitting you with a big tax whenever it's politically convenient to him once again if you're going to be the so-called leader of the world economy you can't act freely as if you were just another player getting an advantage people except you but they rely on you and if you become unreliable they will disengage those are 3 very profound ways that we are headed into
a very troubled waters and we should not be misled by one year's stock market boosting which was done for that purpose but which has been done out of the cost of long term difficulty accent point professor richard roth thank you so much for being here. budget carrier you're always counseled over 170 flights scheduled for the next 3 days as flight attendants at the sister company german wings prepared to strike tensions have been building due to disagreements concerning regulations on part time work and the u.f.o. union warned that the strike can extend past 3 days notice if no agreement is reached the majority of the cancelled flights were done messed up and stranded passengers were off the train tickets to their destination or get a seat on flights operated by other loved ones the timing of the strike during the busy holiday season made things especially problematic previous strikes in november that was on a smaller scale affected 180000 passengers and cost the airline 22400000.
more on this we're joined now by hilary for which word member of the british american business association so hilary now that the you have recently held their strike against back in november that was quite recently just a month ago so this was over the exact same issues previously wage demands pensions part time work was nothing done in november and why is this still continuing and will this continue to bleed into 2020. where you know it's going to continue and obviously into 2020 because we're so close to the holidays and this is a subsidiary of towns and they're basically the cheap budget airline so what they did is they short shifted this and yes they will concessions made back in november but really it's sort of like it's on the handed tactics obviously the union knows this is the busiest time of year at least the status right now is as follows lufthansa actually got a little bit of leverage because basically this is affected really only domestic german flights and so they've been able to offer rail passes to all of those german
citizens that are stranded at the moment so at least it was sway some of the dire circumstances they will have to make financial concessions that certain but i don't think you're going to see them cave in a major way to the union because obviously they've been able to do something domestically i think in the future they're going to have to repair the brand because it's the brand that's taken a huge hit over this so we have a lot of issues plaguing germany at this time and while germany is kind of floundering a little bit india is now expected to overtake germany to become the 4th largest economy in 2026 according to the center of economics and business research so are we now seeing a kind of shift of the status quo in the world leader board where you now have india in 4th japan rising to 3rd and the u.s. and china kind of ballet out for 1st and 2nd are we see a power shift to the east now. eventually what we're going to see kristie of course is because you've got a 1000000000 people in india and china so is that numbers basically eventually with a 1000000000 people you have far larger vaska demographics and
a demographic base how. but i would say this is not going to be happening this decade mainly because you look at the ethics of the laws in place that we have in the west you look also at the transition of students you don't find the brilliance of the brains rushing over to india and china from the u.s. what happens is you have chinese students and indian students they come to the u.s. they come to study and 63 percent of all the global unicorns are high tech unicorns are in the west and so main bridge on only in the united states and of course the high tech center of london so you're not going to see it immediately what has to happen there is you have to see if the chinese will free up their society if you see them actually encouraging entrepreneurship that may shift the power but at the moment at least diplomatically the u.s. is going to remain at the force that it is and i heard the previous gentleman obviously the recent tactics have somewhat made that less stable but i would say not in the foreseeable future mainly only because of the entrepreneurship that we have and the ethics in the in the west compared to the chinese now moving on to the
us the e.u.'s new trade commissioner phil hogan said that he now wants to quote reset the e.u. u.s. trade lesions on a number of very contentious issues next month so what's on his agenda for 2020. 1 he's got a lot on his agenda actually he's known as big phil he had a very good relationship with young he's a towering 6 foot 5 irishman and on his agenda immediately would like robert lighthouse of the u.s. trade representative they have to discuss steel and aluminum because those are 2 huge issues the tar the trump of ministration imposed immense tower of in 2018 and also over 7500000000 in tower of on products so the idea ringback obviously is to waive those towers but the u.s. imposed due to the backing of the european plane maker. and also the u.s. is threatening to impose some sort of sanctions because of all the digital taxes being imposed by the e.u. and particularly coming out of france in terms of all of our global big digital and
tech farms so what you're going to see is you're going to see this. striving for no terrorists but the big contentious issue is that the us out of washington wants us farm products to be at the center and brussels does not want foreign products to be sent to all of which is rather ironic actually because big phil as he's known for hogan grew up on a farm in ireland previously walls of obama is going to be interesting to see how big bill steps up hilary for the american business association thank you so much. time now for a quick break but hang here because just on the other side of the break 29 has been a stellar year for gold but how does the metals stacked up against other assets and what can we expect going forward david mckelvey of mckelvey financial lenses a hand to give us his outlook and as we go to break here are the numbers at the close.
if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished them the offender and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violent male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. is you'll be a reflection of reality.
in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. tyson they should feel community. are you going the right way or are you being that. guy would. want to strip off his face. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. but if she warned you didn't i do. to shoot at the balls more than those jeans near the speech and she me. when you guys u.k.'s. in the news i mean that you're that infants involved. a
lot of people says was it hard to get to travel for most schools. but as it is to be as you as it's large. if you flew. in. from. new. tesla rolled out the 1st model * cars built at its shanghai gigafactory monday but rather than celebrating the stock is tanking tumbling down nearly 5 percent why while analysts are seeing these 1st 15 cars being delivered as merely
a publicity stunt the company made it a ceremony and made a huge a big fuss about what an important milestone this is to say that they achieved deliveries in 2019 furthermore analysts say that vehicle deliveries may miss the company's target this year as model 3 demand has slumped this report coincides with what lauren fix said last week about there being market saturation as we start seeing a shift from pent up demand to steady flow demand i know initially they're going to be delivering 15 cars by the end of the year so we can say that he delivered cars in 2019 that's more of a publicity stunt than anything else we also have to remember we need sales and if there's no sales there then you're producing a product that just sits and that's partly what temp and you're in the u.s. where there's lots of vehicles sitting in different locations around the country you can look it up on line but as a surety airforce base and they're just parked and that's not good you never want to build product that's not being sold you're better off having consumers wait. now another issue facing tesla will be pricing and mix issues in china as the opening
of the china factory has been a key reason for the stock's recent outperformance the best selling evie in china was b a i see. and it's so less than 2000 new goals per week the top 5 models combined sold less than $6000.00 vehicles per week and they all cost about 25 percent of what the china made model 3 is expected to cost while it has been a great fan base the future outlook towards broader adoption remains skeptical. vodafone hutchinson australia has teamed up with nokia rather than huawei to roll out 5 g. network in australia the 1st half of 2020 australia had banned from providing equipment for australia amid unproven fears that the company could be used as a front for spying by beijing while the us has urged other 5 member to exclude way from its new telecommunications network australia stands alone as the only member aside from the us with an all out ban on fall way this has led to an increasingly
strained relationship with beijing as china is australia's largest trading partner there is concern that beijing will seek economic reality ation for its hardline stance against fall way now holway urged australia to overturn a ban on the farms involvement adding that the ban has stifled competition pushed up costs and made it likely that regional and rural customers will receive limited or no 5 g.'s services at all the band has also raised cost by an estimate of 20 to 40 percent and now nokia is the beneficiary of these restrictions and western nations and on market access up over 2 percent today. and as we wrap up the year we have to talk about bitcoin the best before my asset class of this year by far now year day gold is 16 percent the s. and p. is up 27 percent. polian is up 52.4 percent while big client is up and down to
116 percent year to date and with the network having in 2020 many hardliners are anticipating another rally for big climb within the next 6 months to give us more on this we bring in david knapp of any of the mcavennie financial group so david after new legislation takes effect on january 10th of 2020 right now the anonymous purchase limit for gold well drop from 10000 euros to 2000 euros people are now queuing up around several blocks in these last few days to buy gold especially if they're particularly concerned about the e.c.v. as controversial economic practice is of these negative interest rates so gold so far has been a steady guard against inflation so why dropping the limits on these purchases now of all time. well gold is not only protection against inflation that's also a protection against financial repression which is what negative interest rates are this is a policy choice among central bankers and central planners to choose winners and
losers and the losers in this case are savers so your opt out is to either put money in the mattress or to buy gold if you can start to close off those options which is what they're doing essentially by moving the the number down from 100022000 you're creating more of a corralled and captive audience which is exactly what you need to effectively implement financial repression this is in my view like building a berlin wall where you're capturing a set of investors and not allowing them to escape so that you can then implement this idea of financial repression that's what's happening and i think gold is is showing that it has it always has been it's a tool of financial freedom. now gold has just to add more than 3 months on friday and it's still going on so traditionally gold doesn't rally in step with us i usually it's one or the other risk on or risk off however this year we've seen both do pretty well so what's happening here. i think one thing to say is smart money is
already moving to the exits moving in selling industry some for some of their equity positions and repositioning in gold as a safe haven into supporting what could be a volatile year in 2020 but i think if you look at some of the economic fundamentals we have $2.00 money supply growth of over $1.00 trillion dollars in 2019 we also have the fed balance sheet since september expanding by 400000000000 that's going to accelerate in interest in gold and so these i think are some factors to keep in mind not only that but we have a deficit this year of over a trillion dollars with the expectation from the the congressional budget office over a trillion dollars in a budgets every year budget deficits that is every year for the next 10 years i think these are all reasons why investors are already moving in the direction of gold now new reports also show that central banks in twentynine have also been hoarding gold gold purchases are now record highs from central banks around the world including new gold buyers such as cars don and turkey so why are the world's
central banks now stockpiling gold reserves at these record levels just smart money flocking again. exactly and i think it is a continuation of a trend you saw central bank liquidations up until 2009 and gradual accumulations from 2009 to the present but really it's accelerated in 20172018 here and 2019 with central bank central bankers purchasing record amounts one of the key trends here i think what you're looking at is diversification away from the u.s. dollar and this is for a couple reasons one having gold as a reserve asset it solidifies what your currency represents it is something that legitimizes a domestic currency so that is happening it is a diversification away from u.s. dollars and i think that is happening because you're trying to create an insulation from treasury department influence in domestic economies we've seen the u.s. treasury get involved and even control and create certain outcomes and so there's
a desire to create some insulation from the u.s. treasury and their ability to manipulate or control financial circumstances gold again represents financial freedom both for the individual investor as well as for the central banker who wants some distance from us from u.s. policies now another diversification away from the u.s. talk a little bit about bitcoin big quine is what we call digital gold but that digital gold needs to be stored and i kept a wallet and right now there has been another clamp down recently google removed. rouser mehta mask from its android app store and now apple may also forced to remove their data browser feature from its crypto while app as well so this is really unfortunate to see and as web 3 is in direct competition with google and apple should we expect this continued censorship on metamath and other dapper. kristie i think the consistent theme from talking about the e.c.b. to talking about google is control the word is controlling who is going to control
the world of money and finance in this case you're talking about something that may represent an op. just like we're talking about gold as an opt out from domestic currencies or from the euro so you have bitcoin as an opt out as well who is going to control that you see the chinese wanting to launch their own crypto currency and so it's very clear who is going to control the space in china now if you're talking to the giants like google they would certainly like to have more and more control and influence over that market and i think ultimately we're talking about competition with state monopolies and so that i think is where the real challenge is on the horizon will google ultimately introduce like facebook did something that represents a challenge to the u.s. dollar that it will have to see i don't think the u.s. treasury will like that either david mckelvey mcavennie financial thank you so much . thank you christine. satchell by this time you can catch boom bust on you to dot com must stand next time.
just show. financial. money laundering 1st visit this is just a different. something you're going to america something over the cayman island to do all these banks are complicit in there just. to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we got a nice watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry how. do you know what money laundering is highly illegal here for

Skip to comments.Shooting 800 Yards with Iron Sights, See Bullet Trail!
Posted on 04/08/2014 9:05:04 PM PDT by expat1000
Mosin Nagant 91/30 (We don't need any stinkin' smart guns!)
(Excerpt) Read more at liveleak.com ...
Lucky shot, after shot after shot. Only in my dreams could I ever shoot like this.
Well... I’ve always said I’d rather be lucky than good. :-)
And the government wants all the AR-15s,,,, then they’ll be safe. (shaking head)
And bear in mind, that’s at a point target. A company of soldiers, shooting at an enemy position in volley could deliver effective fire at even further range.
I couldn’t see a bullet trail.
I shot a friend’s Mosin about a year ago. Much bigger kick than I expected. Very nice trigger. Very nice sights. It was a pleasure to shoot. About 100 years old and still a scary deadly weapon.
Lucky you, I would love to have the privilege to shoot such a weapon.
Of interest to Mosy fans.
tnoutdoor9 has youtube video of him shooting an M1 carbine over distance (300 yards IIRC) and you can see the air disruption of the bullet zipping to the target plate and impacting ... then the sound comes back to the camera.
That guy can flat out shoot and the Mosin remains the best investment money can buy right now IMHO.
I have never shot my 91/30 beyond 200 yards. That is the far reach of our club range, but it is also the far reach of my e\old eyes. The target has to be bigger than a milk jug, though I have hit a water filled one at 200 yards (1 out of five shots; the last shot hit after I walked the impacts in adjusting my sight picture). I like to use Soviet surplus or Winchester non-corrosive.
Widener’s still has a few of the 44 carbines for sale, bayonet attached. I want one for collection only, but can’t bring myself to spend the $199 plus tax and background check for it.
The bullet trail is the little distortion that arcs high above the target. The bullet drop at 800 yards is going to be substantial, so the bullet takes a high arcing path.
It was a distortion in the air, a little hard to pick up on at first. I’ve never seen that caught on video before.
This clown used a bipod, not a proper prone position? Geez, why not give him a scope to top it off?
Not bad shooting, but certainly no big deal, other than to those that have only shot using scopes.
I have several and I have a 250m range on my property. While I respect iron sights, my objective this year is to drag out all my 91/30’s and find the one that is most accurate.
I am going to have the bolt turned down professionally and mount some glass on it. The rest of them will be cleaned and go back into storage. I have a good amount of surplus ammo and will figure out which round it likes and stick with that.
They are capable of great accuracy, but like every other rifle you must find the ammo that it likes.

Listen to Jimi Hendrix’s Live ’69 Version of ‘I Don’t Live Today’
A new Jimi Hendrix Experience live album is on the way, showcasing the late guitar icon at the height of his abilities.
Los Angeles Forum: April 26, 1969 will be released on Nov. 18 via Legacy Recordings. It features the original Experience lineup with Hendrix on guitar and vocals, Noel Redding on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums. Initially recorded in the spring of 1969, this is the first time the recording is being released in its entirety, just in time for what would have been Hendrix's 80th birthday (Nov 27).
You can listen to the first track from the release, "I Don't Live Today," and see the full track listing below.
Produced by Janie Hendrix, the guitarist's sister; John McDermott, manager of Hendrix's music catalog; and Eddie Kramer, Los Angeles Forum: April 26, 1969 features several classics, such as "Foxey Lady," and "Purple Haze," as well as an early rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner," which Hendrix would later perform memorably at Woodstock. ("Here’s a song we was all brainwashed with," Hendrix says on the recording.) The Experience closed their performance that night with a medley of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" and Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love."
Los Angeles Forum: April 26, 1969 will be available on vinyl, CD and digital platforms. It includes liner notes by music critic Randy Lewis and a preface by ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, who attended the Forum show himself. The album is available for preorder now.

This invention relates to flight control devices for airplanes being in particular a device used to redistribute the loads acting on the wings of the airplane under conditions when maximum loads are imposed thereon. By altering these loads during these times and conditions the wings can be made lighter for the same level of strength. Conversely, the wings can be made to have a longer service life for the same wing weight or by proper design, a combination of the two improvements can be achieved. Reduction of airplane weight has many benefits, among them being reduced fuel consumption during flight. Increased service life is an improvement unto itself.
Loads acting on an airplane wing are normally distributed across the span of the wing in such a manner as to provide adequate life and to minimize the so-called induced drag which is a function of the load distribution. During maneuvering flight, when encountering a wind gust, or when flying at very high speeds the magnitude of wing loads can be altered considerably from that occurring during normal cruise flight. In particular, the wing bending moment can be greatly increased. The required strength of the wing, its weight and its service life, are all highly dependent on the maximum value of overall loads and wind bending moment experienced by the wing structure. A primary purpose of this invention is to reduce wing loads under the aforementioned conditions.
In addition, a large wing such as employed on transport aircraft is by necessity flexible, that is, it can bend or twist. When it is necessary to roll the airplane about its longitudinal axis, controls i.e. ailerons located on the outboard portion of the wing are deflected to produce an asymmetric lift distribution which results in an airplane rolling moment. Due to wing flexibility, the effectiveness of aileron controls can be significantly reduced during moderate to high speed flight. To maintain adequate roll performance additional controls i.e. spoilers are often required. These controls add complexity and weight to the airplane. A purpose of this invention is to reduce the loss in aileron effectiveness caused by flexibility and to add to the available airplane rolling moment.
Earlier attempts to alter wing load distribution have usually centered on the aircraft ailerons. Typically, an automatic flight control system is employed to deflect the ailerons upward under conditions when high wing loads are experienced. This upward aileron deflection results in a wing center of pressure shift toward the fuselage and a reduction in wing root bending moment. The disadvantage of employing such a system is that wing torsion is increased. Wind torsion is defined as a twisting of the wing about its lateral axis i.e. a spanwise reference line established by the particular wing geometry. If ailerons are to be employed for bending moment relief on air airplane the wing must be made torsionally stiffer and hence heavier than would otherwise be the case. While application of a load alleviation system may be desirable for certain airplanes currently in operation to extend their service life, use of the ailerons for this purpose is often not possible because of wing torsion constraints.
The present invention proposes to improve on the prior art and to that end proposes an additional control surface to be placed beyond the normal wing tip to augment bending moment relief provided by the ailerons and to counteract the torsion produced by deflection of the ailerons. Such a device also reduces the loss in aileron effectiveness due to wing flexibility and improves the roll performance of the airplane, thereby reducing the need for auxiliary roll control devices or spoilers.
It is envisioned that the present invention hereinafter sometimes referred to as a wingtip control device will be used in conjunction with conventional aircraft ailerons as part of an automatic flight control system to alleviate wing loads under conditions described earlier. The actual wingtip control device consists of a movable aerodynamic surface attached, by any suitable means, to and extending outwardly from the airplane wingtip. This control surface is normally disposed with its chord line substantially in the plane of the wing chord with its leading edge substantially parallel to the leading edge of the wing. The control surface is rotatable within a range of approximately 10° to 30° up and down relative to the normal or undeflected position, moving concurrently with and in the same direction as the associated aileron although not necessarily the same amount when operating in conjunction with the aileron.
Preferably, the movable control surface is positioned ahead of the location of the elastic axis at the wingtip area. The elastic axis is defined as the line along the span of the wing where no deformation occurs when a loading is applied to the wing.
In its preferred embodiment the movable control surface is connected to the wingtip by means of and through a boom configured to provide an end plating effect thereby improving the effectiveness of this control surface. The maximum lateral dimension of the attaching boom is as small as possible consistent with the requirements of structural integrity and of providing space for an actuator mechanism capable of moving the control surface.
It is well known that the movement of an aerodynamic surface exerts an influence upon another surface located in the nearby region. It is because of this that the movable control surface herein proposed exerts an influence on the loading of the wing. By moving the aft end of the control surface up in conjunction with aileron motion in the same direction, loads on the outer panel of the wing are reduced, the lessening the bending moment occurring along the wing span. By acting ahead of the wing elastic axis the force on the movable control surface counteracts the twisting of the wing caused by the aileron deflection. In the rolling mode the force on the wingtip control surface, along with the reduction of wing twist caused by its application, acts to improve the rolling moment produced by the aileron acting alone.
The precise size and location of the movable control surfaces varies with the specific airplane application and the benefit desired. Typically, the control surfaces will range in size from one-fourth to three-fourths of the size (area) of the airplane ailerons. The location of the leading edge of each control surface is generally from slightly aft of the leading edge of the associated wing leading edge to about one wingtip chord length ahead of the associated wing leading edge. Each control surface has an aerodynamic i.e. an airfoil shape cross-section.
With the above and other objects in view as will be apparent, this invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts all as hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a typical transport airplane with swept wings and a wingtip control device as herein proposed installed on each wingtip to show the relative location of the attaching boom and movable control surface thereof along with the conventional aircraft ailerons.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of one airplane wing of FIG. 1 showing generally the relative size of the attaching boom as well as the size and planform or shape of the wingtip control surface in relation to the aircraft wing and aileron.
FIG. 3 is a side view of the boom and movable control surface primarily to illustrate the aerodynamic contours of the boom and the movable control cross-section, the boom height and the control surface movement as indicated in phantom lines.
FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing to show how the wingtip control device is integrated into the airplane control system.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, 10 designates a pair of fixed wings attached to the fuselage 11 of an airplane in the conventional manner. A standard aileron 12 is located along the trailing edge adjacent the outer end of each wing 10. An aerodynamic boom 13 is secured to the end of each wing 10 in any suitable manner such that it becomes, in effect, an integral part of the wing structure. A movable control surface 14 is attached by conventional means to the outboard side of each boom 13 proximate the forward end thereof. Each control surface 14 is connected to the airplane control system as for example by and through a fly-by-wire arrangement or by conventional mechanical linkages.
With the movable control surfaces 14 undeflected solid lines in (FIG. 3) a basic wing load distribution results. This may be altered by upward deflection of the ailerons 12 whereby the bending moment along the wing is reduced. Also movement of the trailing edge of the wingtip control surfaces 14 alters the load distribution as well as reduces the bending moment at the wing root. The additional torsion resulting from aileron deflection is typically reduced by deflecting the movable control surfaces 14 in conjunction with the ailerons 12. The width W of each boom 13 is the minimum necessary to achieve adequate strength and to house an actuator such as an electro-hydraulic servo 15 used to deflect the associated movable control surface 14. The sweep of the leading edge of the control surface 14 is made compatible to i.e. substantially parallel to the sweep of the wing 10. The degree of the sweep of the wing 10 is, as customary, determined by the cruise speed of the airplane.
The fore and aft contours of each boom 13 are streamlined so that the air flow can proceed smoothly to the wing 10 and movable control surface 14. The cross-section of the movable control surface 14 is an airfoil shape of the type appropriate to the speed range of the airplane. The control surface 14 is pivoted medially as at 16 (about 40% aft of the leading edge thereof) so as to be capable of deflection both up and down for example 20° from the undeflected position. The location of the pivot 16 is dependent upon the airfoil contour, the control planform, the anticipated speed range of the airplane, and other dynamic considerations.
In the vicinity of the control surfaces 14, the side of each boom 13 is flat as at 17 and is of sufficient extent so that the portion of the control surface 14 next to each boom 13 remains relatively close to said side when the control surface 14 is deflected to its maximum angle i.e. 20° either up or down. Thus, the endplating effect provided by the flat sides 14 of the boom 13 ensures maximum effectivenss of the control surfaces 14.
The booms 13 are faired smoothly as at 18 into the wings 10 to ensure a smooth air flow near the junction. This also helps to reduce any drag due to interference between the components. The top and bottom contours of the booms 13 in the vicinity of the flat sides 17 are also streamlined so that the drag due to the boom 13 is minimized.
The exact location of the movable control surfaces 14 depends on the particular airplane. The net force produced by deflecting the control surfaces 14 lies ahead of the elastic axis 10' of the associated wing 10 while the net force produced by the ailerons lies behind the elastic axis 10' of the associated wing 10. The distance which each movable control surface 14 extends beyond the leading edge of the adjacent wing 10 is such that the forces combine to produce the most favorable torsion loading in the wing 10 from the standpoint of wing strength and service life. This distance will generally vary from about zero to about one wingtip chord length.
The planform size or area of such control surface 14 is determined from consideration of the amount of force one wishes to generate with its deflection, said force being to further reduce wing bending loads and improve the roll performance of the particular airplane. The overall size or area of the surface 14 is shown as about one-half of that of the associated aileron 12. The length of the outer tip 14' of the control surface 14 is approximately one-half to one times, illustrated as about three-fourths, the length of its root, while its span 14" is approximately one-half to twice, shown as about equal to, the length of its root chord. The exact relationship between these geometric parameters will depend on the application and speed of the particular airplane.
A method for actuation of the movable control surfaces 14 is shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4. The control surfaces 14 are moved, for example, by the electrohydraulic servos 15 energized by signals from a flight computer 19. Although the control surfaces 14 and ailerons 12 are capable of, and preferably, designed to move in conjunction with each other, the actuation systems are separate to ensure that one system is available to perform roll maneuvers in the event of failure of the other. In the event that potential high load flight conditions are encountered dynamic sensors 20 operatively connected to the flight computer 19 input to the computer 19 which in turns sends signals to the ailerons 12 and control surfaces 14 to deflect accordingly and thereby reduce wing loading. Separately the ailerons 12 and/or the control surfaces 14 are moved by signals from the computer 19 as effected by the pilot through input sensors 21 under his control.
While the invention has been herein above illustrated and described in what is believed to be its best and most practical form under present day conditions it is recognized that, under other conditions, this form would be modified. No attempt has been made to incorporate any of other such forms in this disclosure in the interest of clarity of the total inventive concept. The claims are relied upon to cover these other forms generally.

Private owned arms manufacturers, The manufacturers had government contracts, There was A revolver built to military specs. that had an orriginal supply price of $25.00 Ea. then another co. decided to try and built it as well, They found out that they could produce it for $12.50 EA. I can't remember the name, but, maybe someone knows and will add it.
One disadvantage the South had during the Civil War was that they had fewer factories than the North to produce things such as weapons. They South also had fewer railroads.
