Exclusive public outlet for documentation and notices from The Original Jurisdiction Republic 1861 circa 2010.
Philadelphia was in panic, expecting a British invasion. The Continental Congress packed up and fled. Their last instruction to General Washington was: “…until Congress shall otherwise order, General Washington shall be possessed of full power to order and direct all things.”
With the password for his military operation being “Victory or Death,” Washington’s troops crossed the ice-filled Delaware River on Christmas Day evening in a blizzard.
Trudging through blinding snow, with two soldiers freezing to death on the march, they attacked Trenton, New Jersey, at daybreak, DECEMBER 26, 1776.
The feared German Hessian mercenary troops hired by King George III were trained to fight in an open field, and were not prepared for Americans firing from behind every tree and fence post. Captain Alexander Hamilton fired his six-pound cannons down King Street, tearing into the Hessian ranks. Hessian colonel Johann Rall was soon shot and the Americans captured nearly a thousand in just over an hour. Two Americans were wounded: William Washington-cousin of General Washington, and the young Lieutenant James Monroe-future 5th U.S. President, who was struck by a musket ball in the arm and bleeding badly. Doctor John Riker clamped the artery and saved his life. Yale President Ezra Stiles stated in an Election Address before Connecticut General Assembly, May 8, 1783:
“In our lowest and most dangerous estate, in 1776 and 1777, we sustained ourselves against the British Army of 60,000 troops commanded by…the ablest generals Britain could procure throughout Europe, with a naval force of 22,000 seamen in above 80 men-of-war…
“Heaven inspired us with resolution to cut the Gordian knot…in the glorious act of Independence…sealed and confirmed by God Almighty in the victory of General Washington at Trenton…
“Who does not see the indubitable interposition and energetic influence of Divine Providence in these great and illustrious events?
“Who but a Washington, inspired by Heaven, could have struck out the great movement and maneuver of Princeton – that Christmas eve when Washington and his army crossed the Delaware?…
“The United States are under peculiar obligations to become a holy people unto the Lord our God.”
President Calvin Coolidge stated, October 28, 1925:
“Military critics have described Washington’s campaign of Trenton and Princeton as a military exploit of unparalleled brilliancy.”
Washington wrote August 20, 1778:
“The Hand of Providence has been so conspicuous in…the course of the war that he must be worse than an infidel that lacks faith, and more wicked that has not gratitude to acknowledge his obligations; but it will be time enough for me to turn Preacher when my present appointment ceases.”

This is Rumor Mill News, after all. So here's the scenario:
In a 2011 book, "The Disappearance of Olivia", author Nancy E. Ryan extrapolated from known facts to produce a presumably fictional story of a female first child of Charles and Diana. It has been reported that prior to their marriage, embryos were produced in vitro from Diana's eggs and Charles' sperm to verify the viability of future offspring. The embryos were ordered destroyed, but according to the story line in the book, a doctor involved saved one and implanted it in his own wife, leading to the birth of a girl.
Now comes the Dec. 29 issue of the tabloid, GLOBE, with a story suggesting that this story is more fact than fiction. Allegedly (and that word applies to everything that follows), palace investigators decided to look into the story of the book. Perhaps they had some other information along similar lines? In any event, their investigation led to a 33-year-old woman named Sarah currently living in a small town in New England, USA, who was born ten months before Prince William. A few years ago, when Sarah was still living in the UK, her parents both died in a car crash. She then discovered a diary which revealed that she had been the product of a donated embryo. For several years she tried to determine the source of the embryo, until about two years ago when she received a threatening phone messages to cease her research. In fear, she left the UK and resettled in the US.
Now for the latest part of the alleged scenario. After she was located by palace investigators, it was arranged to have her secretly meet Kate during Kate and William's US tour. (It was decided it would be inappropriate for William to meet her.) During the alleged meeting, Kate was reportedly stunned by Sarah's resemblance to Diana. The story hints that a DNA test might have been arranged, but this would be a mixed bag for William, because upcoming changes in the rule of succession might place an older royal sister ahead of William in line for the throne.
Thus endeth the rumor, extracted from the Dec. 29 2014 print issue of GLOBE.

Palestinian Leadership Amends UN Application For Statehood, But US Support Is Lacking

The Palestinian leadership pushed for statehood Monday, submitting an amended version of its U.N. draft resolution to become a sovereign state. The resolution, which is not supported by the U.S., Israel or Gaza-based Hamas, calls for a peace deal between the Palestinian leadership and Israel as well as terminating Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories by the end of 2017, Israeli media reported.
The amendments submitted Monday by the Palestinian Authority modified an existing resolution submitted by Jordan Dec. 17. That draft called for Palestinian statehood and for the city of Jerusalem to be the capital of an Israeli state and a Palestinian state. Monday's resolution submission, however, takes a harder stance. It asks for only East Jerusalem to be the capital of Palestine and calls for an end to Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Haaretz reported. Nine Security Council votes are needed to adopt a resolution.
Arab leaders decided in November to support the Palestinian bid for statehood. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said at that time that he would submit a statehood bid at the U.N. Security Council and join international organizations and treaties if Israel did not respond to requests for resuming peace talks. Since then, U.S.-brokered peace talks have failed. Battles between Israel and Hamas, which controls Gaza, have killed more than 2,000 Palestinians and 66 Israeli soldiers.
U.S. State Department Press Office Director Jeff Rathke said Monday in a press briefing the U.S. does not support the draft resolution.
"This draft resolution is not something we would support," Rathke said. "We don't think it is constructive. We think it sets arbitrary deadlines. Further, we think the resolution fails to account for Israel's legitimate security needs. We don't believe this resolution advances the goals of a two-state solution." Rathke said that U.S. Secretarty of State John Kerry had been in touch with both Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu.
The WAFA news agency reported Monday that Abbas told Kerry he would press ahead with the resolution despite Israeli and U.S. opposition. Abbas also told senior leaders of his Fatah party that the vote on the resolution could be delayed until 2015.
“This process will take more than a day or two, and we must be clear with our people in order to avoid a state of confusion stemming from the numerous statements, which are sometimes contradictory,” Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki told the Ma’an news agency. “These procedures are unrelated to the Palestinian position, but are routine U.N. procedures in such cases.”
Hamas, which is deemed a terrorist organization by the U.S. and Israel, said Monday that the Palestinian leadership should withdraw its draft resolution from the Security Council.
"The draft resolution is unacceptable and aims to liquidate the Palestinian cause. It contains massive concessions," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a statement Sunday. "The resolution expresses the will of an influential group within the PLO and "does not reflect the national desire of our people."
AIRASIA CONFIRMS WRECKAGE FROM MISSING PLANE, CEO SAYS 'WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS SORROW'......
HOW IS THIS WHEN THEY GOT A TEXT MESSAGE SAYING EVERYTHING IS OK, AND EVERYONE IS ALIVE???..... MORE CABAL BULLSHIPE.....

Dec. 30, 2014An unidentified object, found during a search and rescue operation by the Indonesian Air Force for the missing AirAsia plane, floats in the ocean off the coast of Pangkalan Bun, Borneo, Indonesia.Kenarel/European Pressphoto Agency
BEIJING — Recovery teams pulled wreckage and bodies from the sea off Indonesia on Tuesday after an intensive three-day search finally yielded the grim fate of a missing passenger jet that plunged from storm-laced skies with 162 people aboard. Officials from the carrier AirAsia confirmed the debris was from the plane that disappeared Sunday moments after the pilot asked to climb to a higher altitude in an apparent attempt to avoid rough weather. “We are sorry to be here today under these tragic circumstances,” said AirAsia executive Sunu Widyatmoko in a statement issued in the Indonesian city of Surabaya where the plane departed for Singapore. Indonesia’s president, Joko Widodo, thanked the international effort mobilized for the search, and then shifted his comments to the grieving families. “I feel your loss,” he said.
AirAsia confirmed Tuesday that bodies and debris seen floating in the Java Sea were from the jet that went missing on Sunday. (AP) Even as bodies and various flotsam were pulled aboard ships, experts prepared for the next step: trying to reach what was left of the Airbus A320-200 in waters up to 100 feet deep. Indonesia authorities said divers and sonar-equipped ships headed to the site, about 100 miles southeast of the coast of Borneo. The top goal was recovery of the plane’s flight recorder, the so-called black box, in hopes of gaining clues on the cause of the crash.
Indonesia’s search-and-rescue chief, Bambang Soelistyo, said the effort has been complicated by waves up to 10 feet high. A former accident investigator, John Cox, said the recorder — if found — would likely be analyzed by experts in countries such as the United States or Australia, working alongside Indonesian authorities. It could take several days to fully study the data, he added. “In those boxes will be story of what brought down the AirAsia flight,” said Cox, a former captain for US Airways and now chief executive of the Washington-based consulting firm Safety Operating Systems.
Among the critical questions is whether Flight 8501 broke up during flight or hit the water intact. “It’s important to know because that tells you whether it was a force like a storm that destroyed the airplane in air or if it was a matter of the pilots losing control and never able to recover from it,” said Australia-based aviation security expert Desmond Ross.
One possible advantage for investigators was the relative shallow seabed and its proximity to shipping lanes, which likely means extensive knowledge of currents that could carry the flight recorde which are waterproof and fitted with an electronic tracking signal. “My guess is we’ll know what happened within a week,” said David Gallo, an American oceanographer and co-expedition leader of the investigation into the 2009 crash of Air France Flight 447 which went down in the open Atlantic with 228 people aboard and sunk more than 13,000 feet. It took more nearly two years to recover the black box.
As night fell Tuesday, it was unclear how many bodies had been spotted. At least three were recovered and placed on an Indonesian warship, said the rescue operations chief Soelistyo. A spokesman for the country’s navy, Manahan Simorangkir, said an earlier report that more than 40 bodies were recovered was incorrect and blamed on a “miscommunication” by his staff, the AFP news agency reported. The lack of extensive body recoveries could mean that many remained in the cabin. In the Air France crash, the largest number of bodies found were still in the submerged fuselage, said Gallo.
Meanwhile, an array of debris was carried to Indonesian ports: A portable oxygen tank, a light blue wheeled suitcase, a portion of the inner layer of the aircraft cabin. At the Surabaya airport, about 400 miles southeast of Jakarta, relatives of those on the flight broke down in tears as television images showed the recovery a body, bloated by the sun and sea. Some hugged or collapsed in anguish. One man was carried out on a stretcher. The TV images drew strong condemnation online. The station, TvOne, quickly apologized and subsequently blurred out video of the corpse at sea. Nearly all the passengers and crew were Indonesians — some making year-end holiday trips to Singapore. “Words cannot express how sorry I am,” wrote AirAsia’s CEO, Tony Ferdandes, in a tweet.
The debris field was first spotted about six miles from the flight’s last known coordinates. In a cruel twist, some rescuers believed they saw people waving for help. It turned out to be the sea swells tossing lifeless arms. “When we approached closer [we saw] they were already dead,” said Lt. Tri Wibowo, co-pilot of an Air Force Hercules C130 involved in the search effort, according to the Indonesian newspaper Kompas.
The spotters on the plane also saw what looked like a shadow on the seabed in the shape of a plane. Indonesian authorities said Monday they believed the plane was lying at the bottom of the sea, prompting a request to the United States, Britain and France for more advanced equipment.
The Pentagon said that details of that assistance were being worked out, but it would probably include “air, surface and sub-surface detection capabilities.” In a statement issued late Monday, search officials said they have deployed 12 helicopters, 11 planes and 32 ships, including assets from Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, with more than 1,100 personnel involved. Even fishing boats were tapped in the widespread search. The U.S. Navy said the USS Sampson, a guided-missile destroyer that is already in the region, would join the search later Tuesday.
Until the discoveries Tuesday, the frustrating maritime search were eerily similar to those in the case of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared over the Indian Ocean in March. The whereabouts of the plane, with 239 people aboard, are still a mystery. “Reality is so cruel,” said Jiang Hui, a salesman in Beijing whose 70-year-old mother was on the Malaysia Airlines flight. “I feel so much for the families of the AirAsia flight. I have been in their place for the last 10 months.” A statement from Malaysia Airlines extended “deepest sympathies” to the families of the AirAsia passengers and crew.
For the moment, the last moments of the AirAsia flight offer the only hint of what may have happened. According to Indonesia’s state-owned navigation provider, AirNav, the pilot asked air traffic control at 6:12 a.m. on Sunday for permission to turn left to avoid bad weather. Permission was granted, the Jakarta Post reported. The pilot then asked to climb from 32,000 to 38,000 feet, but did not explain why. Jakarta’s air-traffic control conferred with Singapore-based counterparts and agreed to allow the plane to move to 34,000 feet because a second AirAsia flight, 8502, was flying at 38,000 feet. But by the time air-traffic controllers relayed the permission to climb at 6:14 a.m., there was no reply.

Sure, you could throw all of these things under the broad category of racism. But some of these disparities are often perpetuated by people who insist that they believe with all their hearts in racial equality.
It seeps into just about every aspect of life
There's a term for what's happening when, despite our best intentions and without our awareness, racial stereotypes and assumptions creep into our minds and affect our actions: implicit racial bias.
It seeps into just about every aspect of life, including areas like criminal justice that can have deadly consequences. Thirty years of neurology and cognitive psychology studies show that it influences the way we see and treat others, even when we're absolutely determined to be, and believe we are being, fair and objective.
That's why implicit racial bias has been called "the new diversity paradigm — one that recognizes the role that bias plays in the day-to-day functioning of all human beings."
The first step in understanding how implicitracial bias works is to understand the general concept of implicit bias, which can shape the way we think about lots of different qualities: age, gender, nationality, even height.
Two of the leading scholars in the field, Mahzarin Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald, capture it well in the title of a book they wrote about the concept. It's called "Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People"
You can think of it generally as "thoughts about people you didn't know you had"
What do these "blind spots" look like, and how do they shape behavior? Well, if you have a stereotype about Asian people that labels them as "foreign," implicit bias means you might have trouble associating even Asian-American people with speaking fluent English or being American citizens. If you've picked up on cultural cues that women are homemakers, it means you might have a harder time connecting women to powerful roles in business despite your conscious belief in gender equality.
The effects aren't always negative: if you have a positive attitude about your alma mater, implicit bias could mean you feel more at ease around someone who you know also graduated from there than you do around people who went to other schools.
But there are a couple of things make implicit bias especially fascinating and potentially insidious:
First, since our thoughts often determine our actions, implicit bias can lead to discriminatory behaviors (more on those below). Second, it is impossible to detect without taking a test. In other words, you can't sit down and do introspection about your biases, and you can't just decide not to let them affect your attitudes and actions. Implicit bias lives deep in your subconscious, and it is largely separate from the biases you know you have.
How does implicit racial bias affect the way we think about race?
Implicit bias comes from the messages, attitudes, and stereotypes we pick up from the world we live in, and research over time and from different countries shows that it tends to line up with general social hierarchies.
Studies have shown that people have implicit biases that favor Germans over Turks (in Germany), Japanese over Koreans (in Japan), men over women (when it comes to career-related stereotypes), youth over elderly, and straight people over gay people.
So, it's no surprise race is a prime area for implicit bias, and if you live in America, you can probably make an educated guess about some of the ways it tends to play out: among other things, there's a widespread preference for light skinned over dark skinned and white over black.
Implicit racial bias tends to work against the same groups that are the victims of the type of overt racism that you hear from white supremacists or the more subtle bigotry of people who believe that racial minorities suffer from cultural pathology or who actively defend racial and ethnic stereotypes.
But it can also affect the minds of people who would say — honestly — that they are horrified by these types of attitudes. That's because the implicit associations we hold often don't align with our declared beliefs.
the implicit associations we hold often don't align with our declared beliefs
As Cynthia Lee, a professor at the George Washington University School of Law, has explained, "the social science research demonstrates that one does not have to be a racist with a capital R, or one who intentionally discriminates on the basis of race, to harbor implicit racial biases."
In all areas touched by implicit bias, including race, we tend to hold biases that favor the group that we belong to (what researchers call our "ingroup"). But research has shown that we can also hold implicit biases against our ingroup. So yes, white Americans generally have implicit biases against other races, but racial minorities can hold implicit biases against themselves, too. These results are rarely reflective of conscious attitudes.
How do you figure out whether you have implicit racial bias?
To evaluate implicit bias, scientists mostly use tests that measure reaction time and rely on the idea that if we closely associate two concepts in our minds, they'll be easy for us to sort together. And if we don't associate them, they'll be harder, and take more time, to sort together.
The most popular of these tests is the Implicit Association Test, or IAT. Anthony Greenwald and his colleagues invented it in the mid-1990s. An organization called Project Implicit, maintained by Greenwald, Mahzarin Banjai, and Brian Nosek, allows people to take it online. The test is basically a video game that you play on a computer, the object of which is to sort categories of pictures and words.
An image from an implicit-bias test at Project Implicit
Here's an example of how it measures implicit racial bias: in the black-white race attitude test, test takers are asked to sort pictures of white and black people's faces, and positive and negative words, by pressing one of two keys on the keyboard. It turns out that most people are able to do this more quickly when the white faces and positive words are assigned to the same key (black faces and negative words are assigned to the other key), compared with when white faces and negative words are assigned to the same key (and black faces and positive words are assigned to the other key). The difference in the time it takes a user to respond in different situations is the measure of implicit bias. Try a test yourself at Project Implicit.
"[M]y hands were literally frozen when I had to associate black with good"
Here's how Banaji explained the way taking the IAT feels, in a 2013 interview with the Boston Globe:
"So when I took the test ... it was stunning for me to discover that my hands were literally frozen when I had to associate black with good. It's like I couldn't find the key on the keyboard, and doing the other version, the white-good, black-bad version was trivial. So the first thought that I had was: 'Something's wrong with this test.' Three seconds later, it sunk in that this test was telling me something so important that it would require a re-evaluation of my mind, not of the test."
How do the implicit racial biases the IAT reveals play out in reality?
Implicit racial bias can shape our beliefs and assumptions, color the way we treat other people, and even help decide what "feels true" for us when it comes to larger social and political issues.
Banaji explained that in one version of the IAT, researchers took famous Asian Americans such as Connie Chung and Michael Chang and Kristi Yamaguchi and picked white foreigners such as Hugh Grant, Katarina Witt, and Gerard Depardieu, and asked test takers to connect them to American symbols and foreign symbols. They found it was easier to associate Hugh Grant with American symbols than Connie Chung. "That shows how deeply the category 'American' is white" in many people's minds, she said.
It was easier to associate Hugh Grant with American symbols than Connie Chung
She went on to explain what she said were the connotations of implicit bias when it comes to politics: "The reason I especially like that result is that in the first Obama election and since then, the issue has come up about these 'birthers,' and I think what we captured there was a little bit of a birther in all of us. I think this is where conscious attitudes matter. You and I say, 'I consciously know Barack Obama was born in this country, and I believe this because the evidence is there.' For some people who we might write off as the lunatic fringe, the association to be American is to be white. I can see for them that feels true."
What are the main areas in which implicit racial bias affects our everyday lives?
Implicit biases are pervasive. Researchers say everyone possesses them, even people like judges, who have avowed commitments to impartiality.
And they don't just stay tucked away in our unconscious until they're revealed by a computer game. They determine how we behave. There is increasing evidence that implicit bias — including implicit racial bias, which the IAT measures — predicts behavior in the real world. This behavior, of course, harms the people who are members of groups that are the subjects of negative implicit bias.
For example, research has shown that it can affect healthcare: in one study, despite self-reporting very little explicit bias, two out of three clinicians were found to harbor implicit bias against blacks and Latinos. And it turns out that this affected the care that black patients got: the stronger the clinicians' implicit bias against blacks relative to whites, the lower the black patients rated them on all four sub-scales of patient-centered care. It's also been connected to racial discrimination in hiring, performance evaluations, housing discrimination, and even perceptions of neighborhood crime.
Criminal justice — from arrests, to police shootings, to juries' perceptions of defendants — is such a rich area for implicit racial bias to operate that it deserves its own separate discussion.
To understand the gaping racial disparities in criminal justice, it helps to understand implicit bias. As Vox's German Lopez has explained:
Part of the problem is outright racism among some judges and cops, socioeconomic disparities that can drive more crime, and drug laws that disproportionately affect black Americans. But the other explanation is that cops, like everyone else, carry this implicit bias, which experts agree affects how they police people of different races. Since these are the people who carry out the initial steps of law enforcement, this bias might launch a cascading effect of racial disparities that starts with simple arrests and ends in prison or death.
These are a few ways implicit bias has been found to operate at every level of the criminal-justice system:
Studies have shown that a person's level of implicit racial bias predicts the amount of shooter bias — meaning, how much easier it is to shoot African Americans compared with white people in a video-game situation. And when researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder and California State University at Northridge reviewed a decade of empirical evidence about cops and implicit bias in 2012, they found police officers seem to possess implicit bias that might make them more likely to shoot black suspects than white ones.
In a 2013 article for Court Review, Kimberly Papillion addressed the idea that well-meaning judges can have neurophysiological responses that activate implicit racial biases, concluding that "Assuming that judges can simply try harder to be fair, take more time when making decision, or utilize their egalitarian value systems to eliminate bias in their decision-making process is naïve. The solutions should be tailored to the neurophysiologic reactions that infuse bias into the sentencing decisions."
Can you get rid of implicit racial bias?
The good news is that there is some evidence that implicit biases, including implicit racial biases, are malleable.
There are studies that demonstrate that you can at least produce shifts
Counter-stereotypic training: People can be trained, using visual or verbal cues, to develop new associations that contrast with the stereotypes they hold.
Exposure to individuals who defy stereotypes: Being made aware of people who challenge the assumptions that fuel our biases — for example, male nurses, elderly athletes, or female scientists — has shown potential to decrease them.
Intergroup contact: Simply having contact with the people about whom you have bias can reduce it. But researchers have found the contact typically has to involve individuals sharing equal status and common goals, a cooperative rather than competitive environment, and the presence of support from authority figures, laws, or customs.
Taking the perspective of others: considering contrasting viewpoints and recognizing multiple perspectives can reduce automatic implicit bias.
Mindfulness-meditation techniques: new research suggests that these can reduce implicit bias by short-circuiting negative associations.
While these methods are promising, implicit biases are really tough to shake. As Banaji told the Boston Globe, "I would say we should not be naïve about how easily we can change them. On the other hand, there are studies that demonstrate that you can at least produce shifts."
