CHARLEY
This
next is an e-mail from a very good friend way out west. The "Intro" is his.
Rarely do I sent out "reads," but this is an
exceptional exception. I loved it because it has such a wonderful surprise ending.
And it's true.
Stagecoach drivers
TRUCKEE, Calif.
Western stagecoach companies were big business in the latter half of the
19th century. In addition to passengers and freight, stages hauled gold and
silver bullion as well as mining company payrolls.
Stage robbery was a constant danger and bandits
employed many strategies to ambush a stagecoach. Thieves rarely met with much
resistance from stage drivers, since they had passenger safety foremost in
mind. The gang was usually after the Wells Fargo money box with its valuable
contents. Passengers were seldom hurt, but they were certainly relieved of
their cash, watches and jewelry. Before the completion of the transcontinental
railroad over Donner Pass in 1868, the only
transportation through the Sierra was by stage. Rugged teamsters held rein over
six wild-eyed horses as they tore along the precipitous mountain trails. The
stagecoaches were driven by skilled and fearless men who pushed themselves and
their spirited horses to the limit.
One of the most famous drivers was Charles Darkey
Parkhurst, who had come west from New England
in 1852 seeking his fortune in the Gold
Rush. He spent 15 years running stages, sometimes
partnering with Hank Monk, the celebrated driver from Carson City. Over the years, Parkhurst's
reputation as an expert whip grew.
From 20 feet away he could slice open the end of an
envelope or cut a cigar out of a man's mouth. Parkhurst smoked cigars, chewed
wads of tobacco, drank with the best of them, and exuded supreme confidence
behind the reins. His judgment was sound and pleasant manners won him many
friends.
One afternoon as Charley drove down from Carson Pass
the lead horses veered off the road and a wrenching jolt threw him from the
rig. He hung on to the reins as the horses dragged him along on his
stomach. Amazingly, Parkhurst managed to
steer the frightened horses back onto the road and save all his grateful
passengers.
NO PATIENCE FOR CROOKS
During the 1850s, bands of surly highwaymen stalked
the roads. These outlaws would level their shotguns at stage drivers and
shout, "Throw down the gold
box." Charley Parkhurst had no patience for the crooks despite their
demands and threatening gestures.
The most notorious road agent was nicknamed
"Sugarfoot." When he and his
gang accosted Charley's stage, it was the last robbery the thief ever
attempted. Charley cracked his whip
defiantly, and when his horses bolted, he turned around and fired his revolver
at the crooks. Sugarfoot was later found dead with a fatal bullet wound in his
stomach.
In appreciation of his bravery, Wells Fargo presented
Parkhurst with a large watch and chain made of solid gold. In 1865, Parkhurst
grew tired of the demanding job of driving and he opened his own stage station.
He later sold the business and retired to a ranch near Soquel, Calif.
The years slipped by and Charley died on Dec. 29, 1879, at the age of 67.
A few days later, the Sacramento Daily Bee published
his obituary. It read; "On Sunday
last, there died a person known as Charley Parkhurst, aged 67, who was well-known to old residents
as a stage driver. He was in early days accounted one of the most expert
manipulators of the reins who ever sat on the box of a coach. It was discovered
when friendly hands were preparing him for his final rest, that Charley
Parkhurst was unmistakably a well-developed
woman".
NOT LIKE OTHER MEN, ER, WOMEN?
Once it was discovered that Charley was a woman, there
were plenty of people to say they had always thought he wasn't like other men. Even though he wore leather gloves summer and
winter, many noticed that his hands were small and smooth. He slept in the
stables with his beloved horses and was never known to have had a girlfriend.
Charley never volunteered clues to her past. Loose
fitting clothing hid her femininity and after a horse kicked her, an eye patch
over one eye helped conceal her face. She weighed 175 pounds, could handle
herself in a fist fight and drank whiskey like one of the boys.
It turns out that Charley's real name was Charlotte
Parkhurst.
Abandoned as a child, she was raised in a New Hampshire orphanage
unloved and surrounded by poverty. Charlotte
ran away when she was 15
years old and soon discovered that life in the working
world was easier for men. So she decided to masquerade as one for the rest of her
life.
The rest is history. Well, almost. There is one last
thing.
On November 3, 1868, Charlotte Parkhurst cast her vote
in the national election, dressed as a man.
She became the first woman to vote in the United States,
52 years before Congress passed the 19th amendment giving American women the right
to vote.
"Now you know the 'Rest of the story'".
TRUMP'S MASTER PLAN
May 10, 2016
Trump
“Master Plan” To Rebuild America
Sends Shockwave Through A Collapsing Europe
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western
Subscribers
New
information added today to the massive Security Council (SC) report on the
rapidly expanding coup d'état
against American
oligarchs by Freemason
leader Donald Trump states that European leaders were hit by a “shockwave” this past week after Trump
began releasing information relating to his “master plan” to rebuild his nation—which should it be successful would
“ring the death bell” for the
European Union (EU). [Note: Words appearing in quotes are
English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact
counterpart.]
According
to this report, with Britain already preparing for its 23 June referendum (aka Brexit)
that could see this island nation leave the EU, and with many fearing that
Europe is fast
nearing an historic banking crisis, the news this past week that Trump was
preparing for an assault against the private banking system known as
the US Federal Reserve has left this economically collapsing continent in
state of panic.
Trump’s
announced plans to attack this private banking cartel that has, for over a
century, continually plunged the US (indeed the entire world) into needless
wars and economic depressions so that its around 300 owner-partners could
become the most powerful people on Earth, this report continues, includes his
plan to conduct
a full audit of them for the first time in their history, and to fire its present
leader Janet Yellen.
Equally
terrifying for European leaders regarding Trump’s “master plan” to rebuild America, this report notes, was his also
stating this past week that it
was impossible for the US to default on its debt, no matter what he did,
because his nation could
print all the money it wanted to.
Kremlin
financial experts note in this report that Trump is correct in saying this as
global economic markets typically
don’t worry about the US running out of money because it can print all it
wants, as opposed to country like Greece that cannot it uses the Euro.
Trump’s
anger against the Federal Reserve (indeed Russia’s too), this report continues,
began in 2011 when the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) discovered, during a partial audit, that
this private banking cartel had secretly lent to European banks and
corporations a
staggering $16 TRILLION of the American
peoples money—while at the same time tens-of-millions of these US citizens were
thrown out of their homes and jobs so these oligarchs could get even richer.
Important
to note, this report says, is that after the shocking 2011 discovery by the GAO
of what the Federal Reserve had done, their audit was ordered stopped by the
Obama regime—after which US Senator Rand Paul introduced a bill in Congress to
order the audit be conducted, but that was defeated
by forces loyal to both President Obama and Hillary Clinton.
With
the Federal Reserve cartel, also, itself owning
nearly $4 TRILLION of the US
government’s debt and mortgage securities just two years ago (as the American
people continue to suffer), this report further notes, Trump’s “master plan” to destroy these private
bankers is mirroring the, likewise, plan against these oligarchs launched on 5 June 1963
by President John F. Kennedy five months before he was assassinated.
This
report explains that Trump’s “master plan”,
if successful, would eliminate all US obligations to the Federal
Reserve to pay these banking oligarchs the $20 Trillion they’ve, in fact,
stolen from the American people, thus lowering that nation’s debt from its current amount of $19
TRILLION, to them afterwards having a $1 Trillion surplus.
Now
the tedious economic wording in this Security Council report relating to
Trump’s “master plan” to destroy the
Federal Reserve by using the “JFK model”
in order to restore American sovereignty is much to complicated to include
fully here due to its nearly 800 page length, but, and most basically, it can
be summarized as follows:
During
the year of 1963, President Kennedy began a series of Executive Actions to take
back control of America’s money (and monetary policy) from the Federal Reserve
that included his ordering the US Treasury to begin printing money again
(something it hadn’t done since 1913) and issuing Executive Order
11110 authorizing some of this official government (not Federal Reserve)
currency to include certificates backed by silver.
The
critical importance of President Kennedy’s actions, this report says, lie in
his following the Coinage Act of 1792
that established the silver dollar as the unit of money for the United States, and
instituted the death penalty if anyone tried to debase it.
However,
in barely less than a decade after President Kennedy was assassinated, all of
his efforts to free the American people from the economic stranglehold put on
them by the Federal Reserve (and following, exactly, the US Constitution) were
undone by his two predecessors—President Lyndon Johnson, who singed the Coinage
Act of 1965 smashing the American founding father’s Coinage Act of
1792, and President Richard Nixon, in 1971, who shocked the world by ending
America’s obligation to pay its debts in gold.
This
report concludes by noting that should Trump’s “master plan” be successful, all current debt obligations of the US
government would “disappear/evaporate”
instantly leaving the private Federal Reserve banking oligarchs responsible for
them, but which they couldn’t pay because the US government wouldn’t give them
anymore of their taxpayers money. And to those nations, corporations,
institutions, etc., holding this debt, the “plus/upside”
would be Trump’s returning America’s money to soundness based on gold that
without the Federal Reserves constraints is worth
$40,000 an ounce—and, perhaps, makes it more understandable as to why China
has been on a massive gold buying streak, and just this past January, Russia
became the world's largest buyer of gold.
What
do they know that we don’t? That’s the
question we’re working on finding the answer for, stay tuned.
