*#Reagan's 1987 Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade*

(4/n)

...Here is his #Reagan's sound rationale for his #FreeTradePolicy:

" today many #economic analysts and #historians argue that high #tariff legislation passed back in that period called the #SmootHawleyTariff greatly deepened the [Great] depression and prevented economic recovery.

The Broader Push to Rewrite #History.

Israel's assault on #Palestinian #heritage goes beyond fabricated #archaeological narratives—it’s a #systematic effort to erase history and consolidate control. Here are more key aspects of the campaign:

#Looting of #WestBank #Antiquities :

For decades, #Israel has #exploited the occupied territories' rich archaeological sites, #smuggling thousands of #artifacts to build its #colonial narrative. The new bill seeks to #institutionalize this #theft, granting #extremist officials unchecked authority over excavation and #HeritagePreservation in Palestinian areas.

The Role of the Israeli Antiquities Authority:

Under the guise of #AcademicResearch, the #IsraeliAntiquitiesAuthority frequently removes artifacts from the West Bank, exhibiting them in Israeli #museums without acknowledging their Palestinian origins. This process not only strips Palestinians of their #cultural history but also bolsters Israel’s claim to the land.

Settler-Led Excavations:

Settler organizations like #Elad are at the forefront of #illegal excavations, particularly in East #Jerusalem. These digs disrupt Palestinian neighborhoods, displace families, and create #tourist sites glorifying biblical narratives while erasing the #multicultural history of the region.

Linking Settlements to #BiblicalClaims:

Israeli settlement expansion is increasingly tied to archaeological claims. By declaring areas with supposed biblical significance, such as #Hebron or #Shiloh as part of #Jewish heritage, the #llegalOccupation justifies #annexation and denies Palestinians access to their land.

The International Fallout:

Despite warnings from Israeli #archaeologists and global institutions, the government continues its #unilateral moves. If the bill passes, Israel risks severe isolation, as #CulturalTheft violates international conventions, including #UNESCO protection of #CulturalHeritage during conflicts.

These moves are not just an assault on history—they are an extension of the colonial project, reshaping the narrative to legitimize an occupation that erases Palestinian identity. The stakes go beyond antiquities; they encompass the right of a people to their past, present, and future.

The [14th} amendment’s authors, they argue, “hoped not only to prevent a resurgence of secessionism but also to protect future generations against insurrectionism.” It was intended “to bar anyone who has betrayed an oath to uphold the Constitution from becoming President of the United States.”

"Clear Intention of Ethnic Cleansing": #HolocaustScholar #OmerBartov Warns of #GenocideInGaza

1) Pushback on what Omer Bartov said. This is #genocide. Full stop! #TextbookGenocide, UN defined genocide...whatever! IT'S... CLEARLY... GENOCIDE! Get a ouija board (I'm not serious about that, btw) and ask 10 812 newly martyred #Palestinians

2) 'Ethnic Cleansing' was a made up term in...I want to say the 1990s (help me #historians) ... and was a term used by perpetrators in the Balkans (?) as a euphemism gfor #genocide

#AngloSaxon #Saint of the Day:

Æthelwine [ ᚫᚦᛖᛚᚹᛁᚾᛖ ] of Sceldeforde - Officially not a lot it known about this particular saint, to the point where his origins and story is completely unattested and apocryphal.

Unattested story of Æthelwine:

Æthelwine was a convert to Christianity from the then still #pagan #IsleOfWight. He came from the now renamed hamlet of Sceldeforde (Translates to Shield Ford).

It is said the Hamlet changed it's name to Æthelwinefeld (Æthelwine's Field), which over-time became "Æthelfeld" and now Atherfield (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherfield)

Æthelwine converted while in Kent after visiting the court of Æthelbert but was martyred during Eadbald's (Æthelbert's son and successor) pagan revival.

Æthelwine condemned Eadbald's marriage to his step-mother. Eadbald was enraged and declared the saint a "féondulf" -- criminal/felon.

Æthelwine, fearing for his life, fled back to the Island. However, he was betrayed to Eadbald by local pagan priest who heard of the bounty on Æthelwine's head. Eadbald sent someone to kill Æthelwine, who was murdered while crossing the ford in the middle of his home hamlet. They say that he'd been stabbed through the heart but was able to pray for the sins of those around him for an hour even though his heart had stopped beating; he forgave all involved before his death.

The site was said to responsible for many miracles.
