Libraries hold a special place in my heart, for reasons both intellectual and sentimental.
Librarians are guardians of knowledge, champions of freedom, and friends of the people. They are community members, dedicated to helping connect poor people with relevant information, so they can improve their minds, educate themselves, and access job resources.
After I became a #whistleblower in 2023, and was made #homeless , this notion was challenged.
Librarians would block my access, call the police, and have me arrested. If you find this hard to believe, please see my whistleblower website. The PDF linked, has an appendix giving the “receipts” ( documents to corroborate my account ).

I had applied to be a board member of the libraries in Hawai’i after attending their meetings, and saw some corruption there.
Scroll to the bottom of this page, and see the photo of the board members. How many native Hawai’ian faces do you see? Any Japanese or brown folks?
https://folkhawaii.com/about-us/
Their former Director of Membership, Bobby Gebbia, lied in court, before the judge and cameras, saying I was a board member, though I was not granted a membership.
In Hawai’i, librarians appear to be part of the occupying forces, whitewashing colonialism, insidiously taking over and erasing the true history of Hawai’i, which I heard from talking to local old timers.
250 years ago, Hawai’i had not heard of Jesus, and had its own deities, ( Goddess Pele, the creator, Kaneloa, etc. )
Then Captain James Cook invaded, and 90% of the natives were wiped out.Then Samson Dole attacked with soldiers, threw out the natives, turned their land into plantations, and turned the natives into day laborers on the plantation, on their own land.
Contrary to popular belief, Hawai’i is not a part of the USA, but a belligerently occupied territory,
1887-1897: Hawaiʻi Rebelled against the USA.
Hawaiʻian people did not choose to be part of the USA.
King David Kalākaua was forced to sign what is called the "Bayonet Constitution". Queen Liliuokalani asserted that Kalākaua's life was threatened: "He signed that constitution under absolute compulsion."Now Hawai’i is full of churches, their own gods are vanishing from memory, thanks to the “librarians”. There’s poverty, a drug epidemic, and seething discontent on the streets. Hawai’ian people are heavily overpoliced, thrown into jail without cause, and denied #justice in the #courts of the occupiers ( #USA ).
All this is hidden from the casual tourist, content to visit a golf course on the sacred land, that has been bulldozed, and be served drinks by little brown people ( usually from the Marshall Islands, Hawai’i locals have mostly left for minimum wage jobs in mainland America ).
Billionaires, like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey, “own” huge chunks of the land.
Chinese billionaire, Eva Liu, has controlled the Punalu’u Black Sand beach, with a sweetheart deal ( $1 ), and is proposing erasing this natural landmark, spawning site of the endangered Saddleback Turtles, and building resorts there, in the name of “development”.
In 2022, the Hawai’ian people had a setback in court.
( Hawaiian Kingdom v. #Biden ; December 14, 2022 )Librarians have been instrumental, in manipulating minds, and pushing through these insidious #imperialist agendas, and disenfranchising and displacing the local people.

Just thinking about how Dominion Voting Systems was sold to company run by former Republican election official last year.
:thinkSpin:
And how if someone continued to make similar claims as those that won Dominion the lawsuit, the newly allied co-conspirator may provide manufactured evidence to support any delusional election conspiracy theories an orange man might say.https://abcnews.com/US/dominion-voting-systems-sold-company-run-former-republican/story?id=126378259

Your art history post for today: by Thomas Stuart Smith (1815–1869), The Pipe of Freedom, 1869, oil on canvas, 42x30.9 inches (106.8x78.7 cm), The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum, Stirling, UK. Look closely. Notice a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation pasted on the wall behind the man. It partially covers an advertisement for a slave auction. Freedom has replaced bondage. #arthistory #painting #oilpainting #emancipation #freedom #liberty
From the museum: ‘The Pipe of Freedom was painted in 1869 by Thomas Stuart Smith – the founder of what is today the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum. A prolific artist and abolitionist, there are three surviving portraits of black men by Stuart Smith in our collection.
At the first glance The Pipe of Freedom shines with the warmth of the colours and the relaxed stance of the man in the foreground. His red paisley shawl wraps him in a contentment reflected in the half smile on his lips as he lights the long-stemmed clay pipe. But even the choice of the subject was unusual – at this time black people were more often painted as servants. A closer look at the background also hints that this picture is more than just a simple portrait - it is a political statement too.
The brick wall behind the man is covered with posters, including a yellow one publicising the sale of slaves. This has been covered by a copy of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which declared in 1863 "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."
Thomas Stuart Smith submitted The Pipe of Freedom to the Royal Academy Exhibition in London in 1869. It was rejected. Suspecting that politics were involved, Smith went on to exhibit it elsewhere alongside other works deemed unsuitable or too risqué by the Academy.’

Faith and the Founding: The Religious Roots of the Original Thirteen Colonies
As America celebrates 250 years of independence, it's worth looking beyond the Declaration of Independence to the diverse religious foundations of the original thirteen colonies. Contrary to popular belief, not every colony was founded for religious freedom. Some sought wealth, others provided refuge for persecuted believers, and together they shaped the ideas of faith, liberty, and government that continue to influence our nation today. -
A quotation from Thomas Jefferson
We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independant, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.

Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
He had not learned that the majority in a democracy has no more right to tyrannize over a minority than, under a different system, the latter would have to oppress the former; and that, if there is a moral principle at stake, the saying that the voice of the people is the voice of God may be quite as untrue, and do quite as much mischief, as the old theory of the divine right of kings. The distinguishing feature of our American governmental system is the freedom of the individual; it is quite as important to prevent his being oppressed by many men as it is to save him from the tyranny of one.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)

Thomas Pynchon on ‚Liberty‘
„Unfortunately, young people,“ recalls the Revd, „the word Liberty, unreflectively sacred to us today, was taken in those Times to encompass even the darkest of Men’s rights,— to injure whomever we might wish,— unto extermination, were it possible,— Free of Royal advice or Proclamation Lines and such. This being, indeed and alas, one of the Liberties our late War was fought to secure.“
Thomas Pynchon

A quotation from Phyllis Wheatley
In every human Breast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom; it is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance.
