If I were the Prince of Darkness I would want to engulf the whole earth in darkness [Paganism]. I’d have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree. So I should set about, however necessary, to take over the United States [U.N. Globalism].]]> http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/05/13/symposium-if-i-were-the-devil/feed/ 0 http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/05/06/symposium-if-i-wanted-america-to-fail/ http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/05/06/symposium-if-i-wanted-america-to-fail/#comments Sun, 06 May 2012 14:33:39 +0000 Ellis Washington http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/?p=669 Socrates (470-399 B.C.) – a renowned Greek philosopher from Athens who taught Plato, and Plato taught Aristotle and Aristotle taught Alexander the Great. Socrates used a method of teaching by asking leading questions. The Greeks called this form dialectic – starting from a thesis or question, then discussing ideas and moving back and forth between points of view to determine how well ideas stand up to critical review with the ultimate principle of the Socratic dialectic being Veritas – Truth.]]> http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/05/06/symposium-if-i-wanted-america-to-fail/feed/ 0 http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/05/05/social-darwinism-in-nazi-family-and-inheritance-law/ http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/05/05/social-darwinism-in-nazi-family-and-inheritance-law/#comments Sat, 05 May 2012 06:39:34 +0000 Ellis Washington http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/?p=652 http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/05/05/social-darwinism-in-nazi-family-and-inheritance-law/feed/ 0 http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/04/30/who-knew-about-amendment-to-1st-amendment/ http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/04/30/who-knew-about-amendment-to-1st-amendment/#comments Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:08:36 +0000 Ellis Washington http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/?p=648 Did you know that 93 years ago the Supreme Court decreed that advertising to your fellow Americans about their constitutional rights to be a federal crime? Astoundingly, this was the unanimous 9-0 decision of the case Schenck v. United States (1919). This case, in an openly fascist manner, violated defendant Schenck’s First Amendment rights to distribute flyers alerting his fellow citizens of their First, 10th and 13th Amendment rights not to comply with the draft and fight in World War I.]]> http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/04/30/who-knew-about-amendment-to-1st-amendment/feed/ 0 http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/04/24/bonhoeffer-and-truths-gray-area/ http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/04/24/bonhoeffer-and-truths-gray-area/#comments Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:13:12 +0000 Ellis Washington http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/?p=580 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the legendary German theologian, was one of the central figures in two separate and complex plots to assassinate Adolf Hitler – Operation 7 and Operation Valkyrie. This hero paid the ultimate price in fighting against Nazism, fascism and the so-called “German Christian,” leading to his martyrdom at Flossenbürg concentration camp exactly two weeks before it was liberated by the U.S. Army 90th and 97th Infantry Divisions and three weeks before Hitler committed suicide inside his underground secret bunker in Berlin.]]> http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/04/24/bonhoeffer-and-truths-gray-area/feed/ 0 http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/04/17/oliver-wendell-holmes-traitorous-jurisprudence/ http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/blog/2012/04/17/oliver-wendell-holmes-traitorous-jurisprudence/#comments Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:39:27 +0000 Ellis Washington http://www.elliswashingtonreport.com/?p=539 If you were to ask a typical liberal, progressive, or even a Marxist/socialist jurist who was the most important Supreme Court justice of the 20th century, invariably the name cited most often would be Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.
