-On this day in history:
-1435 – The Pope pronounced the bull Sicut Dudum; forbidding the enslavement of Canary Islands' indigenous people who had converted to christianity or who were in the process of so doing (but not the rest of the population). This order, simple and clear as it was, nonetheless had to be repeated even though it was, itself, something of a repeat. 1830 – The Great Fire of New Orleans started. 1888 – The National Geographic Society was founded 1893 – U.S. Marines landed in Honolulu to prevent queen Liliuokalani from abrogating the Bayonet Constitution. This was a classic US style "Public-Private Partnership" wherein the government allied itself with powerful private interests and oligarchs in order to help the oligarchs arrogate yet more power as well as the property and rights of the citizenry to itself. As ever, the underlying goal was to force the masses into serfdom or servitude. In other parts of the world this merger of public and private interests is, quite correctly, known as fascism. 1898 – Émile Zola's J'accuse…! was published 1942 – Henry Ford patented a plastic automobile, which, as far as I know, was never built 1968 – Johnny Cash performed live at Folsom State Prison. 2018 – A false emergency alert caused widespread panic in Hawaii. Perhaps they feared another invasion by the US Marines.
