Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941: Did the U.S. Have Knowledge of the Attack
Did elements of the U.S. government, namely the Roosevelt Administration, have advanced knowledge of the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor. Author Jim Perloff believes so and presented his findings at Camp Constitution:
The Weekly Sam: Learning to Read Has Been Politicized
Sam Blumenfeld would write letters to big city mayors and schools officials on a regular basis offering his services free of charge. He would ask that he be given the worse performing schools, and within a year, he would turn them around. He seldom got a reply, and when he did, it was thank you but no thank you. Sam was right to believe that government educators and left-wing politicians had no interest in the creation of highly literate students. The functionally illiterate student was just what they wanted.
Sam’s point was recently reinforced when my city councilor (Boston, MA) Matt O’Malley had a posting on his Facebook page urging the signing of a bill by Governor Baker of Massachusetts that would fund literacy programs. I posted in the comment section a link to the Sam Blumenfeld Archives and wrote that there was no need to spend money on a bill when the resource was free to the public. My posting was quickly removed from his page.
While the government change agents have no use for Sam’s archives, many Americans do. Please share this important resource far and wide.
President Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation
By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor– and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be– That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks–for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation–for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war–for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed–for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted–for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions– to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually–to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed–to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord–To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us–and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

Camp Constitution Remembers Colonel Bob Kingsbury
On this Veteran’s Day, we want to honor the memory of Colonel Robert Kingsbury, who served as a scout for General Patton in World War II, and later became a lt-colonel. Bob was a good friend, and a supporter of Camp Constitution. He passed away in September 2013 at the age of 87. Here is a video of his motivational speech he gave at Camp Constitution’s 2010 annual family camp:
Bob was active and vibrant up until the last few months of his life. I visited him in the hospital where he handed me a photocopy of a 30 page plus letter he sent to A. Harding Ganz, a history professor from Ohio. I asked Bob if Camp Constitution Press can publish it, and he gladly gave us the permission. Here is a link to a PDF version: https://www.scribd.com/document/147500738/1st-Scout-Rifle-Squad-UnderGen-Patton.

Camp Constitution’s Report for January-September, 2018
Our Annual Family Camp: This was our first year at the Lakeside Christian Camp and Conference Center in Pittsfield, MA. We had our most successful camp and out largest turnout in our 11 year history. We assembled an outstanding group of instructors which included first-timers Dr. Duke Pesta, Lord Christopher Monckton, Debbie Bacigalupi, and Barbara from Harlem. We had over 18 junior campers (ages 5-11), and attendees from as far as California, Florida, Louisiana and Great Britain. Mr. John Mead, the director of Lakeside, asked us how Lakeside can help promote next year’s camp which runs from July 28-August 3.
Weekend Camp: We were disappointed by the results of our September weekend camp held in Maine, but we did learn a lesson for planning future camps. We “broke even” but did get an excellent video presentation by Professor Willie Soon, and had the opportunity to introduce our program to some new people.
