The Rothschilds financed the battle of Waterloo. That was not a banker's war that was a war of domination in which our side (British/US/Aus/NZ/British Canada) was victorious.

Matter of Fact Rothschild is a German name meaning Red Shield which they adopted. With that said, anyone who thinks Hitler was at odds against the Jewish bankers/People is completely clueless of history. It was Jews who put Hitler in Power, it was jews who financed Hitler and Hitler worked for Jews. Also NAZi is short for AshkeNAZI and also National Zionism....The Jews were the NAZIS'. Let go a little deeper, The USA after WW2 under code name Project paperclip brought NAZI scientists to the USA to perform experiments, and so forth in which we get NASA. But here is the $6 million question. Why would Jews who run our govt (USA) bring NAZI (Their supposed enemy) to the land they control as a ally? Unless they wasn't enemies at all and were the same people.....Jews are NAZI, NAZi are Jews. Lastly, Hitler was raised by Jews (adopted) look it up.

These qualms are jeered at by their peers as "a failure of nerve".

Carroll Quigley : Tragedy & Hope The Ultimate Bankster Quote – from a former Governor of the Bank of England (1920 – 1944) Posted on April 4, 2011 | 32 Comments “Capital must protect itself in every possible way, both by combination and legislation. Debts must be collected, mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. “When, through process of law, the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of the government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. “These truths are well known among our principal men, who are now engaged in forming an imperialism to govern the world. By dividing the voter through the political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance. “It is thus, by discrete action, we can secure for ourselves that which has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished.”Read moreReply C Brown5 days agoI remember that one!

They are money junkies to wield power and control over nations, governments, and people (politicians mainly). This is has it has always been. Money buys power and control. Their goal is that of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion: An entire planet governed by Jewish Zionist hegemony (Monarchs) as they believe their destiny "granted by God" entails. "Zionist Plans for World Domination": Baruch Levy, Letter to Karl Marx, La Revue de Paris, p. 54, June 1, 1928 Address of the Jew Laventria Beria, The Communist Textbook on Psychopolitics, page 8: “Use the courts, use the judges, use the constitution of the country, use its medical societies and its laws to further our ends. Do not stint in your labor in this direction. And when you have succeeded you will discover that you can now effect your own legislation at will and you can, by careful organization, by constant campaigns about the terrors of society, by pretense as to your effectiveness, make the capitalist himself, by his own appropriation, finance a large portion of the quiet Communist conquest of that nation.” “The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the Children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands.”Read moreReply 4 View all 5 replies John Pallyswine2 days agoRivero = a Spanish Catholic descent whose ancestors INVADED, EXTERMINATED, RAPED , DISPLACED and murdered innocent natives of the AMERICAS.

This is what is happening in Syria today. Assad did not want a private Central Bank in his country, but relented to try to keep the peace. Didn't work out for Assad because the Jew Banksters were not happy - now they want two very profitable pipelines run through Syria. Also, North Korea doesn't want a Rothschild Central Bank and neither does Iran. The Jew Bankers are chomping at the bit to start a war with these two countries in the near future. If North Korea and Iran fall to the Jew Banksters, the financial arm of the New World Order will be complete.Read moreReply 2 Susan Miller2 days agoCheyenne Sellers also, the US dollar is only as valuable as the petrodollar system is on any given day - a system which helps line the vaults of these central banks...

In the zoo there are all kinds of animal families. But Tango's family is not like any of the others. This illustrated children's book fictionalizes the true story of two male penguins who became partners and raised a penguin chick in the Central Park Zoo.

Heather Has Two Mommies by Lesléa Newman (Goodreads Author), Laura Cornell (Illustrations)

Heather’s favorite number is two. She has two arms, two legs, and two pets. And she also has two mommies. When Heather goes to school for the first time, someone asks her about her daddy, but Heather doesn’t have a daddy. Then something interesting happens. When Heather and her classmates all draw pictures of their families, not one drawing is the same. It doesn’t matter who makes up a family, the teacher says, because "the most important thing about a family is that all the people in it love one another." This delightful edition for a new generation of young readers features fresh illustrations by Laura Cornell and an updated story by Lesléa Newman.

10,000 Dresses by Marcus Ewert, Rex Ray

Every night, Bailey dreams about magical dresses: dresses made of crystals and rainbows, dresses made of flowers, dresses made of windows…Unfortunately, when Bailey’s awake, no one wants to hear about these beautiful dreams. Quite the contrary: “You’re a BOY!” Mother and Father tell Bailey. “You shouldn’t be thinking about dresses at all.” Then Bailey meets Laurel, an older girl who is touched and inspired by Bailey’s imagination and courage. In friendship, the two of them begin making dresses together. And Bailey becomes the girl she always dreamed she��d be!

Red: A Crayon's Story by Michael Hall

A blue crayon mistakenly labeled as "red" suffers an identity crisis in the new picture book by the New York Times–bestselling creator of My Heart Is Like a Zoo and It's an Orange Aardvark! Funny, insightful, and colorful, Red: A Crayon's Story, by Michael Hall, is about being true to your inner self and following your own path despite obstacles that may come your way. Red will appeal to fans of Lois Ehlert, Eric Carle, and The Day the Crayons Quit, and makes a great gift for readers of any age!

Red has a bright red label, but he is, in fact, blue. His teacher tries to help him be red (let's draw strawberries!), his mother tries to help him be red by sending him out on a playdate with a yellow classmate (go draw a nice orange!), and the scissors try to help him be red by snipping his label so that he has room to breathe. But Red is miserable. He just can't be red, no matter how hard he tries! Finally, a brand-new friend offers a brand-new perspective, and Red discovers what readers have known all along. He's blue! This funny, heartwarming, colorful picture book about finding the courage to be true to your inner self can be read on multiple levels, and it offers something for everyone!

Goblinheart by Brett Axel (Goodreads Author), Terra Bidlespacher (Goodreads Author)(Illustrator)

Using "fairy" and "goblin" in lieu of female and male, the author has created a timely allegorical fairy tale. A youngster named Julep, who lives in a forest tribe, insists on growing up to be a goblin rather than a fairy. The tribe learns to accept that Julep is a goblin at heart, eventually coming around to support the physical transition that must be made for Julep to live as a goblin.

Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress by Christine Baldacchino, Isabelle Malenfant (Illustrations)

Morris has a great imagination. He paints amazing pictures and he loves his classroom's dress-up center, especially the tangerine dress. It reminds him of tigers, the sun and his mother's hair.

The other children don't understand--dresses, they say, are for girls. And Morris certainly isn't welcome in the spaceship his classmates are building--astronauts, they say, don't wear dresses.

One day Morris has a tummy ache, and his mother lets him stay home from school. He stays in bed reading about elephants, and her dreams about a space adventure with his cat, Moo. Inspired by his dream, Morris paints a fantastic picture, and everything begins to change when he takes it to school.

Annie's Plaid Shirt by Stacy B. Davids (Goodreads Author), Rachael Balsaitis (Illustrator)

Annie loves her plaid shirt and wears it everywhere. But one day her mom tells Annie that she must wear a dress to her uncle's wedding. Annie protests, but her mom insists and buys her a fancy new dress anyway. Annie is miserable. She feels weird in dresses. Why can't her mom understand?

Then Annie has an idea. But will her mom agree?

ANNIE'S PLAID SHIRT will inspire readers to be themselves and will touch the hearts of those who love them.

Themes of gender norms, identity, individuality, tolerance, and self-esteem.

This Day in June by Gayle E. Pitman (Goodreads Author), Kristyna Litten (Illustrator)

In a wildly whimsical, validating, and exuberant reflection of the LGBT community, this title welcomes readers to experience a pride celebration and share in a day when we are all united. Also included is a reading guide chock-full of facts about LGBT history and culture, as well as a 'Note to Parents and Caregivers' with information on how to talk to children about sexual orientation and gender identity in age-appropriate ways.

A Family Is a Family Is a Family by Sara O'Leary (Goodreads Author), Qin Leng (Illustrations)

When a teacher asks the children in her class to think about what makes their families special, the answers are all different in many ways — but the same in the one way that matters most of all.

One child is worried that her family is just too different to explain, but listens as her classmates talk about what makes their families special. One is raised by a grandmother, and another has two dads. One is full of stepsiblings, and another has a new baby.

As one by one, her classmates describe who they live with and who loves them — family of every shape, size and every kind of relation — the child realizes that as long as her family is full of caring people, her family is special.

A warm and whimsical look at many types of families written by award-winning author Sara O’Leary, A Family is a Family is a Family springs to life with quirky and sweet illustrations by Qin Leng.

Stella Brings the Family by Miriam B. Schiffer, Holly Clifton-Brown (Illustrator)

Stella's class is having a Mother's Day celebration, but what's a girl with two daddies to do? It's not that she doesn't have someone who helps her with her homework, or tucks her in at night. Stella has her Papa and Daddy who take care of her, and a whole gaggle of other loved ones who make her feel special and supported every day. She just doesn't have a mom to invite to the party. Fortunately, Stella finds a unique solution to her party problem in this sweet story about love, acceptance, and the true meaning of family.

Foreign Goods Last Forever 2 – Photo by Mariana Feijó

A lot has happened in the world at large since the first time Foreign Goods Last Forever played a packed out Theatre503, so there was plenty of material for the writers and directors to draw from. Certain people who appear obsessed with the Trump Administration and the United Kingdom’s proposed exit from the European Union will, no doubt, will want to express annoyance that this latest batch of short plays doesn’t place its sole concentration on those particular topics. More fool them, to misquote Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. Variety is the spice of life, after all.

Dreams of England by Amal Chatterjee sees a schoolgirl (Shuang Teng) ask her father (Brian Law) a barrage of questions about England. The girl and her family live in southeast Asia; the only concrete giveaway clue to the play’s setting is her astonishment that bamboo is not grown in England. It’s a genuine attempt to comprehend the concept of border controls. The analogy of the schoolgirl’s grandfather’s compound is used as an analogy; not just anyone can enter, as they must ask permission.

But the relentless questioning began to get rather weary, particularly as it became clear that the same conversation, with the same questions in the same order, was to take place with the schoolgirl’s mother (Eugenia Low). At least Mother expressed considerable frustration. This is the sort of exercise usually reserved for drama school classrooms, where the same dialogue is repeated with different people so as to gain different perspectives when the same words are said with even slightly varied inflections and tones of voice. For the most part, it worked here, in front of a paying public. That is highly commendable.

I Live in a Vertical Village by Lucy Sheen was a highly descriptive, if pithy, play, emotionally strong whilst managing to be both simultaneously straightforward and complex. On one level, a woman with “horizontal eyes” (Julie Cheung-Inhin), is merely talking about her observations of daily life as she stands, “watching the world through double glazing”. But the descriptions provided are far from the borderline utopian pleasantness in Louis Armstrong’s ‘What A Wonderful World’; this world, the real world, is brutal and unforgiving.

The Stone / No One Disaster Is Total by Amber Hsu includes an intriguing concept of stage directions forming part of the script itself, though there’s one that’s repeated so often (“A shutter clicks. Lights flash. Pause.”) that any atmosphere, photographic or otherwise, it may have generated in the first few iterations had completely disappeared by the end of the play. Windson Liong, Yung Nguyen, Eugenia Low and Velda Hassan display subtle humour in their reactions to unflattering (or otherwise merely implausible) descriptions of miscellaneous characters they must play between them. I couldn’t quite fully comprehend why so much power was ascribed to an inanimate object – the said stone of the play’s title. It’s quite a physical play, and rather absurdist at times as well.

Confessions by Cathy Lam had the audience in stitches. There’s usually one play in compilation evenings of this nature that brings the house down, and this was the one. Charlotte Chiew plays a young Asian lady who likes to date older, rich white men. She gets some stick from her peers for doing so, but in her view, the benefits considerably outweigh the drawbacks. She doesn’t like her own culture, whatever ‘her own culture’ is, preferring Western lifestyles and behaviours. Not much is left to the imagination when she describes herself as a “woman who feasts on Western sausage”, which implies exactly what it suggests it implies. Her white lovers come in for some lampooning too, however, only adding to the hilarity.

The Dressing Loom by Julie Cheung-Inhin stars the writer as the token non-white performer in a pantomime cast. If political correctness was thrown to the wind in the previous play, this one builds on that foundation, leaving even this unassuming south-of- the-river London audience openly gasping.

Another actress, played by Kate Llewellyn, secures the part of Christmas Eve in a regional production of the Broadway musical Avenue Q, so she tries to perfect her Chinese accent. Of course, Eve is a Japanese character (and so the joke is really on the white actress). The supporting roles in this play are performed with aplomb by Danny Steele and Chris Keyna. On a more serious note, it would not surprise me if comments expressed regarding a production at the start of 2017 at The Print Room in Notting Hill were verbatim. To summarise, In The Depths of Dead Love was at the centre of a ‘yellowface’ controversy, casting white actors as characters with Asian names in a play set in ancient China. It seems that there are still some very out of date and out of touch viewpoints in the entertainment industry that continue to be upheld by too many people with influence.

Suzie Wong: Fitting in and F*cking Up by Kathryn Golding is heavy with descriptions of childhood. The writer stars in her own monologue, which is extremely up to date, including details of a recent news story about a United Airlines passenger who fell victim to an overbooking problem. You will recall that he was assaulted and beaten before being physically forced off a scheduled flight he had legitimately purchased a ticket for. The other stand-out examples came from the writings of Confucius, dismissed as “lamented but impotent”. A call to arms asserts that East Asians should take their cue from Martin Luther King, Jr and Nelson Mandela: “Our silence is our consent. We’re not gonna take it anymore.” Much food for thought there.

Your Only Right is to Obey by Jingan Young sees Chloe Ewert and Michael Phong Le immediately trade insults and putdowns as though their characters were still in a relationship. I had a little difficulty fully interpreting the background story: as I understand it, an auction was going on. The lot was a person who was to be sold to the highest bidder. Quite what the person was to be expected to do as the property of someone else, and why certain people were to be paid for in this way in the first place, I can only assume is clearer in a longer version of the play. What is clear is that the pair, amongst others, are “selling crumbling perceptions of British culture”, and the play seemed to me a consideration of whether it is right to continue to do what is morally dubious even if there is still a demand for it, whatever ‘it’ may be.

Jamaica Boy by Stephen Hoo sees a gardener (Waylon Ma) in conversation with a friend played by Gilbert Kyem Jnr. The latter character gives us slightly stereotyped Multicultural London English (MLE), (the playwright’s fault, not the performer’s) which draws criticism from the gardener for use of double-negatives and other grammatical constructs that differ from BBC English. Forms of speech are not, however, the salient point. I liked, insofar as I could ‘like’ such a thing, the revelatory example given about how black people need not have stolen anything to be on the receiving end of a theft conviction, simply because it has been assumed by others that they would be the sort of person to commit such a crime. There are parts of London society that remain remarkably behind the times.

Trying to Find Chinatown by David Henry Hwang is, I was pleased to later discover, only the title play in a larger collection of works. Benjamin (Matthew Houston) meets Ronnie (Max Percy). The latter is an Asian street musician. The former, despite a Caucasian appearance, claims an Asian heritage, by way of adoption. Ronnie jumps to conclusions and launches into a tirade after Benjamin asked for a location of an address which happens to be in New York City’s Chinatown. But Benjamin wants to go there to see the house his late father grew up in. The play strongly and cleverly asserts that Asians can wrongly judge books by covers as much as Caucasians, and there’s something refreshing about this country hillbilly with a university education putting forward articulate and intelligent viewpoints.

Put simply, I was impressed. This wasn’t a case of establishment bashing and whining about white privilege. It’s difficult to argue against the general premise that people, whatever their background, need to make their voices heard. Martin Niemöller had it right in his ‘First they came…’ poem. Far from navel-gazing, this is theatre as its most thoughtful and outward-looking. Perhaps inevitably, some of the short plays will resonate with different people in the audience more than others. But as a whole, this was a remarkably inspiring evening.
