ST LOUIS-GATEWAY ARCH-BUDWEISER TOUR-TRANSPORTATION MUSEUM-ECONOMY MUSEUM-BLUES MUSEUM-EP23

Left Casino Queen RV Park after 7 nights in St. Louis, MO. It was one hot strip of Asphalt! Thank God for our 45,000 BTU’s of A/C capacity.

This RV Park is a GREAT central location for all the things to see,…….we were within 10 minutes of most things to do, NEVER more than 20 minutes.

We saved our St. Louis Botanical Garden Tour, and our St. Louis 27 mile bike ride video along the Mississippi river for later.

Make sure you stop back for those! The bike ride is along the ST. Louis levee walls, and it is interesting.

This video is a collection of visits. We go to the St. Louis Arch, Transportation Museum,Budweiser Factory Tour, Economy Museum and finish up with the St. Louis Blues Museum.

If time is limited, I would prioritize them in the order I have listed them. The Gateway Arch is this most impressive and packed with information, and the Blues Museum was the least impressive and interesting.

Esther George: The U.S. Economy and the Federal Reserve

Esther George, CEO of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank, spoke about the U.S. economy at a SIEPR Associates Meeting on February 28, 2017.

William McChesney Martin - Longest serving fed chairman

William McChesney Martin was a real St. Louis whiz kid. He was born in St. Louis in 1906. The son of the first agent in charge of the federal reserve bank of St. Louis. When William McChesney Martin Jr. Did something he never did it half way.

He started his career as a stockbroker for A.G Edwards and bought a seat on the new york stock exchange at the age of 28.

There's a reorganization of the New York Stock Exchange and William McChesney Martin at age 31 ends up being the president of the New York Stock exchange. said Dr. Robert Archibald of the Missouri History Museum.

In World War II he was drafted by the army entering as a private and leaving as a colonel. While in service he also married Cynthia Davis. The daughter of tennis great Dwight Davis for whom the Davis Cup is named.

After the war Martin served as the head of the import export bank and assistant secretary of the treasury until 1951. President Harry Truman then named Martin chairman of the federal reserve a post he continued holding under presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon.

Though he would be known for many things as the chairman of the federal reserve. He was known as a staunch guardian against inflation. Calling himself the host who removes the punchbowl just as the party starts.

See moreWilliam McChesney Martin's writings, speeches, appointment calendars and other interesting pieces of history.

The Dick Act of 1903 (first written in January 1902 adopted 1903) Urban Legend

( )
or
(

If you read the document from the link above I imagine you're all excited now. Well now I get to bust your bubble. The only part of the Dick act of 1903 that could be helpful in any firearms related cases would be that all men between the ages of 18 and 45 are considered enrolled or reserve militia. The organized militia is what we now call the National Guard which is separate from the regular army. I have read the bill and there is nothing in it that protects the reserve militia right to possess all manner of military hardware. It does say that the government has to supply the organized militia/National Guard with their equipment however it does not specify how the reserve militia is to be equipped. I am not going to go into great detail because you are going to have to read it for yourself otherwise you will not believe me. Here is a link to the photocopy texts of the original bill. In this Bill it contains the text of the original militia act of 1792 in small print which in section 26 is repealed and replaced with the act of 1903.
LINK TO ORIGINAL DICK ACT:
( )


THIS PART IS NOTHING MORE THAN A RECORDED SPEACH WHEN THEY WERE DISCUSSING THE BILL AND NOT LAW!!!
The militia, within the meaning of these provisions of the Constitution is distinct from the Army of the United States. In these pages we also find a statement made by Daniel Webster, that the great principle of the Constitution on that subject is that the militia is the militia of the States and of the General Government; and thus being the militia of the States, there is no part of the Constitution worded with greater care and with more scrupulous jealousy than that which grants and limits the power of Congress over it.
This limitation upon the power to raise and support armies clearly establishes the intent and purpose of the framers of the Constitution to limit the power to raise and maintain a standing army to voluntary enlistment, because if the unlimited power to draft and conscript was intended to be conferred, it would have been a useless and puerile thing to limit the use of money for that purpose.
Conscripted armies can be paid, but they are not required to be, and if it had been intended to confer the extraordinary power to draft the bodies of citizens and send them out of the country in direct conflict with the limitation upon the use of the militia imposed by the same section and article, certainly some restriction or limitation would have been imposed to restrain the unlimited use of such power.
The Honorable William Gordon
Congressional Record, House, Page 640 - 1917

Pittsburgh END THE FED Protest (11/22/08)

This protest took place on 11-22-2008 outside of the branch of the Federal Reserve in Pittsburgh, PA. Similar protests took place on the same day in dozens of cities across the United States.

The Federal Reserve is the biggest scam in history and you are it's victim. It is not a part of the Federal Government, there are no Reserves, and it's not really a system in terms of decentralization of power. In reality it is a banking cartel which, in 1913, convinced Congress to give it the power to create money out of thin air and collect interest on it.

Here are the seven main reasons to abolish the Fed:
1. It is incapable of accomplishing its stated objective.
2. It is a cartel operating against the public interest.
3. It's the supreme instrument of usury
4. It generates our most unfair tax.
5. It encourages war.
6. It destabilizes the economy.
7. It is an instrument of totalitarianism.

EXPO – Magic of the White City (Narrated by Gene Wilder)

Narrated by Gene Wilder, EXPO – Magic of the White City brings the Chicago World’s Fair to life. Experience the world of 1893 through a cinematic visit to Chicago’s Columbian Exposition.

Subscribe for more great documentaries!

Nearly 28 million people visited the Fair. Dubbed the “White City,” it inspired future innovators like Henry Ford and Frank Lloyd Wright, unveiled the Ferris Wheel and Cracker Jack®, and, in many ways, marked the beginning of the 20th century. Many of the era’s greatest achievements in science, technology and culture were unveiled there. The grounds were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famous for his design of New York City’s Central Park, and constructed under the supervision of Daniel Burnham.

The Fair was an engineering marvel. On opening day, President Grover Cleveland depressed a golden telegraph key which sent the first courses of electricity throughout the Fair powering fountains, machines, electric railways and thousands of lights. It was the first use of electricity on such a massive scale.

In addition, fairgoers enjoyed the Midway Plaisance where a one-mile boulevard of fun offered camel riding and guilty pleasures such as belly dancing, street fighting and beer drinking. Against the backdrop of 1893’s troubles with workers’ rights, prejudice, discrimination and corruption, the World’s Columbian Exposition cast a brief ray of hope for the future of humanity.

Filmed in spectacular High-Definition, EXPO – Magic of the White City immerses viewers in one of the world’s biggest extravaganzas and one of the most unforgettable events in American history. There will never be another event like it… or will there?

#10 Edwin Edwards
Governor of Louisiana from 1972 to 1980, 1984 to 1988, and 1992 to 1996, serving 16 years total in office, or 5,784 days, the sixth-longest amount of time in office for any governor since the Constitution.

Widely considered one of the most corrupt governors in American history, he actually got caught for racketeering, extortion, money laundering, mail fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy. He went to federal prison for eight years. He was unapologetic about receiving illegal campaign donations. He was accused of obstruction of justice and bribery. The only reason why Edwards is not higher up on my list is because is dedication to civil rights and protecting minorities and the poor.

#9 Joel Aldrich Matteson
Oh Louisiana and Illinois. You both have a long history of electing corrupt and just, plain horrible governors. And Matteson is one of them. Governor of Illinois from 1853 to 1857, he actually had a few accomplishments during his term. This was when Illinois began public education, and Matteson oversaw a strong economy and the reduction of the state’s debt. However, after he got out of office people started to find out about his shadiness.

Voices and Visions Of St. Louis: Past, Present, Future Panel One: The Civil War(s) in St. Louis

From the Civil War to the recent troubles in Ferguson, St. Louis, Missouri is a city that has long been a site for conflict, division, and violence. It also has hosted an array of legal, political, social, and design experiments intended to transcend its contested present and past. With this forum, jointly mounted with the Sam Foxx School of Design at Washington University, we seek to stimulate a conversation about the city’s history and its present conditions, using methodologies and questions drawn from architecture, design, and planning as well as the arts, humanities and social sciences. The aim is to explore and debate issues of injustice, inequality, and racial exclusion in ways that have broader resonance for urban America and will open new terrains for constructive action. Topics include the history of modernist planning, the urban impacts of post-civil war politics and governance, the social and spatial correlates of racial exclusion, and the planning and design responses that have been proposed to counter these conditions. Open to the public with a keynote on Wednesday evening and subsequent panels showcasing the perspectives of a wide array of actors and institutions who have made cities such as St. Louis what they are today; closing on Friday with an array of GSD-based exhibitions, projects, and presentations from GSD students and faculty. Organized by Diane Davis, chair of the Department of Urban Planning and Design, Harvard GSD, with: Eve Blau, adjunct professor, Department of Urban Planning and Design, Harvard GSD Sylvester Brown, Journalist, St. Louis Daniel D’Oca, Associate Professor in Practice of Urban Planning, Department of Urban Planning and Design, Harvard GSD; co-founder of Interboro Partners Adrienne Davis, Vice Provost and William M.

An Examination of Hispanic and Latino History

As part of their Documented Rights Exhibit, the National Archives at St. Louis hosted a distinguished panel of scholars and legal experts to discuss the historical significance of documents from the Hernandez v. Corpus Christi, Texas (1959) case. A sampling of these case documents are featured in the Documented Rights exhibition. This case involves discrimination against children with Spanish surnames who were required to attend Spanish language speaking public schools, even though they could not speak Spanish.

The panel was moderated by attorney and immigration law professor Dr. Richard T. Middleton at the University of Missouri at St. Louis.
