Ford promoted a propaganda document purporting Jews were planning to introduce a minimum wage.


Hmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder why (((Ford))) would be against that!

Heh, better luck next time, kid.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

I agree, but unfortunately that's not how it works. The academic discipline of history being the very proof that it is the "critics", bystanders and observers that write the narrative that plebs will be taught to consider as facts, and thus what "matters". Unfortunately.

>>2440038
Cont.

the doers of history only rarely write history, such as when they write journals, letters, autobiographies (Hitler and Mein Kampf being one example off the top of my head). And even then the "timid souls" will quarantine and isolate sic sources and make sure that the public only sees them through their lens.

Don't mean to hijack the thread though. Peace out.

I've heard many explanations, but was convinced by none.

According to wiki the epistle

>was not mentioned by Tertullian, who was writing at the end of the Second Century.[38] It is also absent from the Muratorian fragment, the earliest known list of New Testament books.[citation needed]

james was only gradually accepted into the canon, and many Christians contested it's authenticity, including Theodore, Bishop of Mopsuestia in Cilicia, Eusebius, Jerome, Victorinus and most notably Luther.

>The Protestant reformer Martin Luther denied it was the work of an apostle and termed it an "epistle of straw"

It's als interesting to note that

>Its late recognition in the Church, especially in the West, may be explained by the fact that it was written for or by Jewish Christians, and therefore not widely circulated among the Gentile Churches.
>Jewish Christians

Could it be that the author of James was a member of the judaizing sect, and that this was a judaizer epistle that accidentally slipped into the canon?

Good works don't save but a sign that you are saved. We saved through faith and then we produce good works as evidence.

By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

First things first, he probably made up a lot of his journeys from hearing stories from other people.

But as a symbol, everyone loves the idea of journeying and exploring.

Been studying the Mongol Conquests, China under Mongol rule, and Marco Polo and I gotta say, this has been one of the most entertaining sagas in history I've ever read. So many great characters. Kublai Khan is way different than you think a descendant of Genghis Khan would be. The dynamic of Marco Polo and Kublai Khan reminds me of William Adams and Ieyasu or Lawrence and Faisal.

As for importance, it doesn't seem like Venice or the rest of Medieval Europe cared much for Marco Polo's story. It seems like they thought the story was cute or romantic and most likely fictional, though this could be speculation on my part. Medieval Europe at the time did not care for the eastern world as too much was happening in their own.

The only immediate kind of influence he has was introducing paper money to the west. Paper money originated in Tang and Song China iirc.

His work (the Travels of Marco Polo, which wasn't even written by him, but his jail mate Rustichello da Pisa) becomes a little more influential in that it inspires Christopher Columbus about a century and a half later.

Winfield Scott was easily among the greatest US generals

The most successful Indo-European groups like the Ancient Greeks and Romans and Christian Germanics and Latins are far more indebted to Near Eastern people like Phoenicians and Jews than the Proto-Indo-Europeans.
