Bilderberg

A great deal of "information" has been listed, broadcast, discussed and at times cussed, regarding the Bilderberg meeting. It is so named because of the location of the first gathering of the group, a hotel in Bilderberg, Holland.

Rather than take in all the information provided through the media, we decided to find the facts from the source. That does not mean we have all the answers. It does seems strange that it has to be so secretive. However, there are any number of meetings and matters handled in the same way and so far the world has not disintegrated.

Words Of Wisdom

"The truth is that the want of common education with us is not from our poverty, but from the want of an orderly system. More money is now paid for the education of a part than would be paid for that of the whole if systematically arranged."

--Thomas Jefferson

Political Revolt

There appears to be a revolt taking place in Tampa, Florida, and the question raised as to whether a GOP “goon” squad .is intimidating Ron Paul delegates.

A civil rights lawsuit filed at the Ronald Reagan Courthouse in Santa Ana against the RNC, its chairman Reince Priebus and various state GOP chairmen, stating, among the complaints, that uniformed GOP goon squads are hassling Paul delegates.

Republican Party bylaws indicate delegates are free to vote for whichever candidate they want. Yet, according to the lawsuit filed, Paul delegates have been harassed in nearly every state for failing to support Mitt Romney.

There are reports that GOP brass “fixed” elections, “stuffed ballots” and “changed ballot results” to favor Romney. This includes programming a voting machine in Arizona to count Ron Paul votes as Governor Romney votes. This all according to the complaint filed in court.

Words Of Wisdom

"It is sufficiently obvious, that persons and property are the two great subjects on which Governments are to act; and that the rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted. These rights cannot well be separated."

--James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention, 1829

Commemorative Day In History

Following is some of the information available from various resources regarding today’s commemorative event—Flag Day.

In the United States Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.

 The United States Army also celebrates the Army Birthday on this date; Congress adopted "the American continental army" after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.

Flag Day is not an official federal holiday, though on June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first (and only) U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday, beginning in the town of Rennerdale.

Title 36 of the United States Code, Subtitle I, Part A, Chapter 1, Section 110 (4) is the official statute on Flag Day; however, it is at the President's discretion to officially proclaim the observance.

One of the longest-running Flag Day parades is held annually in Quincy, Massachusetts, which began in 1952, celebrating its 59th year in 2010.

The 59th Annual Appleton Wisconsin 2009 Flag Day Parade featured the U.S. Navy.

The largest Flag Day parade is held annually in Troy, New York, which bases its parade on the Quincy parade and typically draws 50,000 spectators.

Perhaps the oldest continuing Flag Day parade is at Fairfield, Washington. Beginning in 1909 or 1910, Fairfield has held a parade every year since, with the possible exception of 1918, and celebrated the "Centennial" parade in 2010, along with some other commemorative events.

Words Of Wisdom

"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power."

 --Alexander Hamilton, The Farmer Refuted, 1775

Lucy's Music Cafe' Reaches New High

Lucy’s Music Café will feature “Elevate” at 8:30 p.m. on June 22. The location for Lucy’s Café is the Raue Center For The Arts in downtown Crystal Lake.

This eight-piece Woodstock band has been exploring and perfecting their sound for more than a year and are now ready to share what they’ve created. Patrons are in for an eclectic treat. An evening with “Elevate” will likely include a heavy dose of Latin flavor combined with some funk, soul, R&B and straight ahead rock.

“Eclectic” doesn’t just apply to their musical style, however. Each member has a musical style and background different than the next. “Elevate” is led by lead singer, pianist and founder, J.  The other members include Tyler Ommen (drums), Nathan Staley (percussion), Kelvin Levels (bass) Aaron Netsell (guitar and vocals), Jody Powers (vocals), and John and Christine Tuck (horns).

J describes what the word elevate means to him as, “the knowledge that, after being together with these musicians, I just got better at what I do.” Elevate hopes to leave the audience with the same feeling.

Lucy’s Café events, both music and comedy, allow patrons to enjoy an intimate evening of entertainment without the big city prices. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the show. They are on sale now online at rauecenter.org or through the Box Office at 26 N. Williams Street or by calling 815.356.9212. Lucy’s Music Café is sponsored by Country Inn and Suites, Exclusively Napa and McHenry County Living.
