Why Does Delaware Exist?
My first attempt at a geography video! I hope you guys enjoy it! This video is about why Delaware exists and how it became one of (in fact, the first) of the 50 states in the United States.
The First State (1964), Part 1 of 3
Historical reenactment of the debate between Delaware's ratifiers of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. Delaware's Governor Elbert Carvel (1961-1965) played the role of Thomas Collins. Visit delawareday.delaware.gov to learn more about Delaware being the first state to sign the U.S. Constitution.
Hurricane Agnes
Hurricane Agnes was, at the time, the costliest hurricane to hit the United States in recorded history. The second tropical cyclone and first named storm of the 1972 Atlantic hurricane season, Agnes developed on June 14 from the interaction of a polar front and an upper trough over the Yucatán Peninsula. Initially forming as a tropical depression, the storm headed slowly eastward and emerged into the western Caribbean Sea on June 15. Once in the Caribbean, the depression began to strengthen, and by the following day, it became Tropical Storm Agnes. Thereafter, Agnes slowly curved northward and passed just west of Cuba on June 17. Early on June 18, the storm intensified enough to be upgraded to Hurricane Agnes. Heading northward, the hurricane eventually made landfall near Panama City, Florida late on June 19. After moving inland, Agnes rapidly weakened and was only a tropical depression when it entered Georgia. The weakening trend halted as the storm crossed over Georgia and into South Carolina. While over eastern North Carolina, Agnes re-strengthened into a tropical storm on June 21, as a result of baroclinic activity. Early the following day, the storm emerged into the Atlantic Ocean before re-curving northwestward and making landfall near New York City as a strong tropical storm. Agnes quickly became an extratropical cyclone on June 23, and tracked to the northwest of Great Britain before becoming absorbed by another cyclone on July 6.
Though it moved slowly across the Yucatán Peninsula, damage in Mexico is unknown. Although the storm bypassed the tip of Cuba, heavy rainfall occurred, killing seven people. In Florida, Agnes caused a significant tornado outbreak, with at least 26 confirmed twisters, two of which were spawned in Georgia. The tornadoes and two initially unconfirmed tornadoes in Florida alone resulted in over $4.5 million (1972 USD) in damage and six fatalities. At least 2,082 structures in Florida suffered either major damage or were destroyed. About 1,355 other dwellings experienced minor losses. Though Agnes made landfall as a hurricane, no hurricane force winds were reported. Along the coast abnormally high tides resulted in extensive damage, especially between Apalachicola and Cedar Key. Light to moderate rainfall was reported in Florida, though no significant flooding occurred. In Georgia, damage was limited to two tornadoes, which caused approximately $275,000 (1972 USD) in losses. Minimal effects were also recorded in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Tennessee; though one fatality was reported in Delaware. The most significant effects, by far, occurred in Pennsylvania, mostly due to severe flooding. The hurricane severely flooded the Susquehanna River and the Lackawanna River causing a lot of damage to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metropolitan area. In both Pennsylvania and New Jersey combined, about 43,594 structures were either destroyed or significantly damaged. In Canada, a mobile home was toppled, killing two people. Overall, Agnes caused 128 fatalities and nearly $3 billion (1972 USD) in damage, though more recently, it is estimated that there were $2.1 billion (1972 USD) in losses associated with the storm. Due to the significant effects, the name Agnes was retired in the spring of 1973.

Trump honors four Americans killed in Syria attack
(19 Jan 2019) U.S. President Donald Trump paid tribute to the four Americans killed in a suicide bomb attack in Syria this week at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
The trip hadn't been on Trump's public schedule for Saturday, but he tweeted the news before he left the White House.
The president, along with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, stood on the tarmac and saluted as a U.S. Navy carry team moved a transfer case carrying the remains of Scott A. Wirtz to a military van.
Wirtz, a civilian and former Navy Seal from St Louis, Missouri, was killed January 16th 2019 in a suicide bombing in Manbij, Syria.
The bombing was the deadliest assault on U.S. troops in Syria since American forces moved into the country in 2015.
It came about a month after Trump said the Islamic State group had been defeated and he was withdrawing U.S. forces.
The Pentagon has identified three of the four Americans killed in the attack.
Killed along with Wirtz was Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jonathan R. Farmer, 37, of Boynton Beach, Florida and Navy Chief Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive) Shannon M. Kent, 35, of Pine Plains, New York.
The Pentagon hasn't identified the fourth casualty, a civilian contractor.
Although the president will pay respects for the other three casualties, pool television cameras were not allowed to record those dignified transfers.
The visit comes during a budget fight that has consumed Washington for the past month, shuttering parts of the federal government and leaving hundreds of thousands of workers without pay.

Delaware Corporations CLIFFORD CHANCE = HSBC = SLAUGHTER & MAY FBI Biggest Bank Fraud Bribery Case
MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA EXTRACTS: I
The sensational Carroll Anglo-American Corporation Trust and parallel Gerald 6th Duke of Sutherland Trust multi-billion dollar corporate identity theft case is understood to have “named” the former NYPD New York Police Department Commissioner William J. Bratton surrounding major criminal allegations in this case of international importance.
Sources have disclosed that the former NYPD Commissioner William J. Bratton served two terms which is “closely linked” to his parallel former position as the Chairman of Kroll Associates. This source also said that Kroll Associates and the corporate spin-off firm Zolfo Cooper are known to be also confronting serious criminal allegations in this case spanning three continents.
Well seasoned political observers in Washington DC and London have recently remarked that the Gerald Carroll Trusts debacle has firmly highlighted the serious level of white collar organized crime penetration within the intergovernmental “cross-border” law enforcement agencies charged with the prosecution of criminal bankers accountants and lawyers who pose a “real direct threat” to the economic national security interests of the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
Further sources have confirmed that the explosive FBI Scotland Yard “cross-border” criminal “standard of proof” prosecution files contain a voluminous bundle of compelling forensic evidential material which surrounds the Kroll Associates and Zolfo Cooper systematic obstruction racketeering and bribery offenses which are “directly linked” to the fraudulent incorporation of a Withersworldwide law firm shadow “criminal parallel trust” which embezzled a mind boggling two hundred and fifty million dollars of the Carroll Foundation Trust huge treasury investment holdings that were held at the Queen’s bankers Coutts & Co and Barclays International.
In a stunning twist it has also emerged that following retirement William J. Bratton was invited by the former British Prime Minister David Cameron to assume the role as the Scotland Yard Commissioner which would have effectively been yet another British Government bungled attempt to neutralize the threat of arrest and prosecution for a startling array of high profile figures along with members of the David Cameron family in this major public interest case.
MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA EXTRACTS: II
The sensational Carroll Anglo-American Corporation Trust and parallel Gerald 6th Duke of Sutherland Trust multi-billion dollar corporate identity theft case has revealed that the Loeb & Loeb law firm based in Los Angeles are seriously implicated in this case of international importance.
Sources have confirmed that the FBI Scotland Yard criminal “standard of proof” prosecution files contain forensic exhibits of the News Corporation and Sky News Adam Boulton broadcast tapes which surround the in-depth interviews with Gerald Carroll during the systematic break-up and fraudulent liquidation of major operating divisions of the Carroll Global Corporation Trust industrial empire.
Further sources have disclosed that the files contain a startling litany of twenty eight forged and falsified State of Delaware and UK Companies House “registered” Carroll Trust Corporations which are “centered around” the fraudulent incorporation of Carroll Anglo-American Corporation Trust structures that impulsed this massive fraud spanning three continents.
It has emerged that the dossiers contain forensic specimen exhibits which concern the systematic criminal seizure of the Carroll Anglo-American Corporation Trust major commercial property holdings that were located within the downtown financial district of Los Angeles. It is understood that Gerald Carroll’s Southern California and Los Angeles investment holdings would have a value today in excess of a billion dollars.
Scotland Yard sources have revealed that the files contain forensic specimen exhibits of the fraudulent incorporation of HSBC International offshore accounts Barclays International offshore accounts and Queen’s bankers Coutts & Co accounts which embezzled two hundred and fifty million dollars of Gerald Carroll’s huge treasury investment holdings.
This source also said that fraudulently incorporated HSBC USA escrow accounts triggered the seizure of Gerald Carroll’s Bel Air mansion estate and the systematic break-up and liquidation of the world renowned Carroll Aeronautical Collection “centered around” the unique Howard R. Hughes collection of images and artifacts.
The Carroll Foundation Trust files are held within a complete lockdown at the FBI Washington DC field office under the “joint supervision” of the FBI Director Christopher Wray and the Scotland Yard Commissioner Cressida Dick QPM who are known to have an intimate knowledge of this case which stretches the globe.

VP Pence oversees two dignified transfers
(23 Aug 2019) Vice President Mike Pence was on hand to observe the dignified transfer of two soldiers at Dover Air Force Base on Friday.
The caskets were taken one by one from the plane to a nearby transport vehicle while Pence and other officials looked on.
Master Sgt. Luis F. Deleon-Figueroa, 31, was one of the two soldiers who died as a result of small arms fire in northern Faryab Province. Both were members of 7th Special Forces Group, which is based at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.
The deaths came as U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad resumed negotiations with the Taliban aimed at ending America's longest war.
There have been eight previous rounds of negotiations over the past year, and key issues include the withdrawal of American troops, a cease-fire, intra-Afghan talks, and Taliban guarantees that Afghanistan will not once again become a launch pad for global terror attacks.
There are still about 14,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and persistent attacks by both the Taliban and the Islamic State group affiliate continue to plague the country.
The U.S. and NATO ended combat operations in Afghanistan in 2014, but troops remain to train and advise Afghan forces and to conduct counterterror operations against insurgents.

Calling All Cars: Muerta en Buenaventura / The Greasy Trail / Turtle-Necked Murder
The radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.
The iconic television series Dragnet, with LAPD Detective Joe Friday as the primary character, was the first major media representation of the department. Real LAPD operations inspired Jack Webb to create the series and close cooperation with department officers let him make it as realistic as possible, including authentic police equipment and sound recording on-site at the police station.
Due to Dragnet's popularity, LAPD Chief Parker became, after J. Edgar Hoover, the most well known and respected law enforcement official in the nation. In the 1960s, when the LAPD under Chief Thomas Reddin expanded its community relations division and began efforts to reach out to the African-American community, Dragnet followed suit with more emphasis on internal affairs and community policing than solving crimes, the show's previous mainstay.
Several prominent representations of the LAPD and its officers in television and film include Adam-12, Blue Streak, Blue Thunder, Boomtown, The Closer, Colors, Crash, Columbo, Dark Blue, Die Hard, End of Watch, Heat, Hollywood Homicide, Hunter, Internal Affairs, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Lakeview Terrace, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Life, Numb3rs, The Shield, Southland, Speed, Street Kings, SWAT, Training Day and the Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and Terminator film series. The LAPD is also featured in the video games Midnight Club II, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, L.A. Noire and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
The LAPD has also been the subject of numerous novels. Elizabeth Linington used the department as her backdrop in three different series written under three different names, perhaps the most popular being those novel featuring Det. Lt. Luis Mendoza, who was introduced in the Edgar-nominated Case Pending. Joseph Wambaugh, the son of a Pittsburgh policeman, spent fourteen years in the department, using his background to write novels with authentic fictional depictions of life in the LAPD. Wambaugh also created the Emmy-winning TV anthology series Police Story. Wambaugh was also a major influence on James Ellroy, who wrote several novels about the Department set during the 1940s and 1950s, the most famous of which are probably The Black Dahlia, fictionalizing the LAPD's most famous cold case, and L.A. Confidential, which was made into a film of the same name. Both the novel and the film chronicled mass-murder and corruption inside and outside the force during the Parker era. Critic Roger Ebert indicates that the film's characters (from the 1950s) represent the choices ahead for the LAPD: assisting Hollywood limelight, aggressive policing with relaxed ethics, and a straight arrow approach.
Words at War: Assignment USA / The Weeping Wood / Science at War
The Detroit Race Riot broke out in Detroit, Michigan in June 20, 1943, and lasted for three days before Federal troops restored order. The rioting between blacks and whites began on Belle Isle on June 20, 1943 and continued until the 22nd of June, killing 34, wounding 433, and destroying property valued at $2 million.
In the summer of 1943, in the midst of World War II, tensions between blacks and whites in Detroit were escalating. Detroit's population had grown by 350,000 people since the war began. The booming defense industries brought in large numbers of people with high wages and very little available housing. 50,000 blacks had recently arrived along with 300,000 whites, mostly from rural Appalachia and Southern States.[2]
Recruiters convinced blacks as well as whites in the South to come up North by promising them higher wages in the new war factories. Believing that they had found a promised land, blacks began to move up North in larger numbers. However, upon arriving in Detroit, blacks found that the northern bigotry was just as bad as that they left behind in the deep South. They were excluded from all public housing except Brewster Housing Projects, forced to live in homes without indoor plumbing, and paid rents two to three times higher than families in white districts. They also faced discrimination from the public and unfair treatment by the Detroit Police Department.[3] In addition, Southern whites brought their traditional bigotry with them as both races head up North, adding serious racial tensions to the area. Job-seekers arrived in such large numbers in Detroit that it was impossible to house them all.
Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. government was concerned about providing housing for the workers who were beginning to pour into the area. On June 4, 1941, the Detroit Housing Commission approved two sites for defense housing projects--one for whites, one for blacks. The site originally selected by the commission for black workers was in a predominantly black area, but the U.S. government chose a site at Nevada and Fenelon streets, an all-white neighborhood.
To complete this, a project named Sojourner Truth was launched in the memory of a black Civil War woman and poet. Despite this, the white neighborhoods opposed having blacks moving next to their homes, meaning no tenants were to be built. On January, 20, 1942, Washington DC informed the Housing Commission that the Sojourner Truth project would be for whites and another would be selected for blacks. But when a suitable site for blacks could not be found, Washington housing authorities agreed to allow blacks into the finished homes. This was set on February 28, 1942.[4] In February 27, 1942, 120 whites went on protest vowing they would keep any black homeowners out of their sight in response to the project. By the end of the day, it had grown to more than 1,200, most of them were armed. Things went so badly that two blacks in a car attempted to run over the protesters picket line which led to a clash between white and black groups. Despite the mounting opposition from whites, black families moved into the project at the end of April. To prevent a riot, Detroit Mayor Edward Jeffries ordered the Detroit Police Department and state troops to keep the peace during that move. Over 1,100 city and state police officers and 1,600 Michigan National Guard troops were mobilized and sent to the area around Nevada and Fenelon street to guard six African-American families who moved into the Sojourner Truth Homes. Thanks to the presence of the guard, there were no further racial problems for the blacks who moved into this federal housing project. Eventually, 168 black families moved into these homes.[5] Despite no casualties in the project, the fear was about to explode a year later.[6]
In early June 1943, three weeks before the riot, Packard Motor Car Company promoted three blacks to work next to whites in the assembly lines. This promotion caused 25,000 whites to walk off the job, effectively slowing down the critical war production. It was clear that whites didn't mind that blacks worked in the same plant but refused to work side-by-side with them. During the protest, a voice with a Southern accent shouted in the loudspeaker, I'd rather see Hitler and Hirohito win than work next to a nigger.

SUMMARY
=======
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (; born November 20, 1942) is an American politician who served as the 47th Vice President of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate from 1973 to 2009.
Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 1942, and lived there for ten years before moving with his family to Delaware. He became an attorney in 1969 and was elected to the New Castle County Council in 1970. He was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972, when he became the sixth-youngest senator in American history. Biden was re-elected to the upper house of Congress six times, and was the fourth most senior senator when he resigned to assume the Vice Presidency in 2009. Biden was a long-time member and former chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. He opposed the Gulf War in 1991, but advocated U.S. and NATO intervention in the Bosnian War in 1994 and 1995. He voted in favor of the resolution authorizing the Iraq War in 2002, but opposed the surge of U.S. troops in 2007. He has also served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, dealing with issues related to drug policy, crime prevention, and civil liberties. Biden led the efforts to pass the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, and the Violence Against Women Act. He also chaired the Judiciary Committee during the contentious U.S. Supreme Court nominations of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. Biden unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988 and in 2008, both times dropping out after lackluster showings.
In 2008, Biden was chosen as the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. After being elected Vice President, Biden oversaw infrastructure spending aimed at counteracting the Great Recession and helped formulate U.S. policy toward Iraq up until the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 2011. His ability to negotiate with congressional Republicans helped the Obama administration pass legislation such as the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, which resolved a taxation deadlock; the Budget Control Act of 2011, which resolved that year's debt ceiling crisis; and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which addressed the impending fiscal cliff. Biden was reported to have advised President Obama against approving the 2011 military mission that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden, though he has disputed this. Obama and Biden were re-elected in 2012, defeating Republican businessman Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan. In October 2015, after months of speculation, Biden announced he would not seek the presidency in the 2016 elections. In one of the final acts of his term in January 2017, President Obama awarded Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom with distinction.After completing his second term as Vice President, Biden joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was named the Benjamin Franklin Professor of Presidential Practice. As of October 2018, Biden was reported to be actively considering a 2020 presidential run, and a CNN poll placed him as the most popular potential Democratic presidential candidate.
Dr. Peter David Beter Audio Letter 40 : Jonestown; Battle of Guyana; Nuclear War - November 30, 1978
Dr. Peter David Beter - Audio Letter 40 - November 30, 1978
Text:
MP3:
(1) The military purpose of the Jonestown tragedy
(2) The Battle of Guyana--Thanksgiving Day, 1978
(3) The opening scenes of Nuclear War I
Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is November 30,
1978, and this is my Audioletter No. 40.
On November 24, 1978, the day after Thanksgiving, the
Washington Post here in Washington, D.C. published a full-page
memorial to the late Congressman Leo J. Ryan of California. A
sketch of Ryan in tones of gray took up the entire page, and
against that background a brief eulogy was printed in bold type.
It began, In Memoriam, to our good friend Leo J. Ryan,
Congressman from California. We will miss him. He saw hope that
right would prevail. The timing of this memorial page was
ironic. Congressman Ryan had been killed in Guyana nearly one
week earlier, and his funeral had taken place two days earlier.
But Congressman Ryan had been deliberately sacrificed in order to
launch a covert military operation in Guyana; and as it turned
out, the Washington Post memorial to Ryan was printed immediately
after the successful completion of this military operation. In a
display of courage that is practically unknown today in the
United States Congress, Ryan had gone to Guyana knowing that it
might be dangerous. But what he did not know was that he had
been lured into making a trip whose tragic outcome was planned
well ahead of time. Congressman Ryan and those who died with him
at Port Kaituma Airport were casualties in the secret war that is
leading to NUCLEAR WAR ONE. And so were the hundreds of other
American civilians who died in the so-called 'mass suicide' at
Jonestown, Guyana.
For more than two years now the United States and Russia have
been embroiled in secret hostilities in preparation for Nuclear
War One. It began in earnest during the summer of 1976 when the
still secret Underwater Missile Crisis erupted. Then it expanded
into wholesale nuclear sabotage of the United States with weapons
now planted at literally thousands of locations nation-wide.
These range from mammoth hydrogen bombs ready to destroy our
largest dams and reservoirs down to tiny nuclear devices called
'micronukes' by the Russians. For some time now the Russians
have been detonating micronukes in a steady drum beat of
explosions all over America. In September 1977 the secret war
took a decisive new turn. In the still secret Battle of the
Harvest Moon in space, America's Secret Rulers lost their
supposed ace in the hole for the coming war. In a shocking
upset, Russia knocked out America's secret Moon beam-weapons Base
in Copernicus Crater, and since that time Russia has seized the
dominant position militarily in space.
In past Audioletters I have kept my listeners abreast of these
developments, and for the past year I have also been calling
attention to the drastic changes taking place in the leadership
of both Russia and the United States. In Russia, the original
ruling faction after 1917, the atheistic Bolsheviks, have been
overthrown after a progressive struggle for six decades. The
Kremlin is now under the absolute control of a tough band of
native Russians, a Christian sect who consider the Bolsheviks to
be evil incarnate. As a result, the Bolsheviks are being
expelled from Russia and they are flocking mostly to the United
States. They are joining the many Bolsheviks already in powerful
positions here in a sophisticated new Bolshevik revolution! In
the process, they are gradually pre-empting much of the power
that was once exercised by their Secret Allies, the third
generation Rockefeller brothers. As Bolshevik power becomes
greater and greater in the United States, the Satanic fruits of
that power are becoming increasingly visible.
Seven months ago in April 1978, the lives of over one hundred
unsuspecting civilians were deliberately put in great danger for
the sake of an intelligence mission. This was the case of Korean
Airlines Flight 902 which invaded super-sensitive Russian air
space and was shot down. As I explained in detail that month in
Audioletter No. 33, there was nothing accidental about the Korean
airliner episode, and the threat of death to all the innocent
passengers was the key ingredient in the episode. It would have
been far easier for the Russian fighters to blow the Boeing 707
out of the air in a ball of flame than to force it down with only
a few casualties, as was done.[...]
