Then I saw the Armour for Horse and man of two Kings of Persia. The armour of the Great Duke Ferdinand, a goodly man. The King of Swedes Cornet taken in Germany in a Battel. The buckler with the Medusas head on it, painted by Michael Angelo. A Turkish Bell to ring in time of Battel. A horne used in Turkey to call men to their Moskyes in stead of Bells, as we have. The head of a Halbard ringing like a Bell. A Halbard to fould up in three, and to carry under your Cloak privately. A staff of a white Cane, in which are curiously engraven in black, the

 “How should I know?” she replied a little irritably, troubled by her parents' distress and this secretiveness, as well as Esta's action. “She never said anything to me. I should think she'd be ashamed of herself if she has.”

Julia, being colder emotionally than either Esta or Clyde, was more considerate of her parents in a conventional way, and hence sorrier. True, she did not quite gather what it meant, but she suspected something, for she had talked occasionally with girls, but in a very guarded and conservative way. Now, however, it was more the way in which Esta had chosen to leave, deserting her parents and her brothers and herself, that caused her to be angry with her, for why should she go and do anything which would distress her parents in this dreadful fashion. It was dreadful. The air was thick with misery.

And as his parents talked in their little room, Clyde brooded too, for he was intensely curious about life now. What was it Esta had really done? Was it, as he feared and thought, one of those dreadful runaway or sexually disagreeable affairs which the boys on the streets and at school were always slyly talking about? How shameful, if that were true! She might never come back. She had gone with some man. There was something wrong about that, no doubt, for a girl, anyhow, for all he had ever heard was that all decent contacts between boys and girls, men and women, led to but one thing—marriage. And now Esta, in addition to their other troubles, had gone and done this. Certainly this home life of theirs was pretty dark now, and it would be darker instead of brighter because of this.

Presently the parents came out, and then Mrs. Griffiths' face, if still set and constrained, was somehow a little different, less savage perhaps, more hopelessly resigned.

“Esta's seen fit to leave us, for a little while, anyhow,” was all she said at first, seeing the children waiting curiously. “Now, you're not to worry about her at all, or think any more about it. She'll come back after a while, I'm sure. She has chosen to go her own way, for a time, for some reason. The Lord's will be done.” (“Blessed be the name of the Lord!” interpolated Asa.) “I thought she was happy here with us, but apparently she wasn't. She must see something of the world for herself, I suppose.” (Here Asa put in another Tst! Tst! Tst!) “But we mustn't harbor hard thoughts. That won't do any good now—only thoughts of love and kindness.” Yet she said this with a kind of sternness that somehow belied it—a click of the voice, as it were. “We can only hope that she will soon see how foolish she has been, and unthinking, and come back.”

 art of teaching (discentia as they may be called after Tertullian).

16. This was the origin of my treatise, which, as I trust, developes the subject more thoroughly than has hitherto been done. It was first composed in my mother tongue for the use of my people, and afterwards on the advice of several men of standing translated into Latin, in order that, if possible, it might be of universal use.

For, as Lubin says in his Didactic, Charity bids us not to niggardly withhold from mankind what God has intended for the use of all, but to throw it open to the whole world.

For it is the nature of all true possessions that they can be shared by all; and that they advantage all more and more in proportion as they are shared by greater numbers.

18. It is also a law of human existence that if any know of assistance lying close at hand to those who are struggling he should not withhold it from them; especially in a case, as in the one before us, where the matter concerns not one but many, and not individuals merely but towns, provinces, kingdoms, and in short the whole human race.

19. Should there be any man who is such a pedant as to think that the reform of schools has nothing to do with the vocation of a Theologian, let him know that I was myself thoroughly penetrated with this idea. But I have found that the only way in which I can be freed from it is to follow God’s call, and without digression to devote myself to that work to which the divine impulse directs me.

20. Christian readers, suffer me to speak with you confidentially! My more intimate friends know that I am a man of little ability and almost without literary training, but that, nevertheless, I lament the defects of the age, and make great endeavours to remedy these in any way that is possible, whether by means of my own discoveries or those of others (though this can only take place by the grace of God).

21. Therefore, if anything should find favour, it is not my work but His who is wont to win praise from the mouths

Page:The Great Didactic of John Amos Comenius (1896).pdf/469

Author:Gregory of Nazianzus.—A Father of the Church in the fourth century. He was renowned for his eloquence, which he employed in combating the Arian heresy.

or (born at Wilster in 1571, died at Erfurt in 1635).—One of the immediate forerunners of Comenius in school reform. He enjoyed the patronage of Count Ludwig of Anhalt-Köthen, through whose liberality he was enabled to found a six-class school at Köthen, in accordance with his didactic principles. He also undertook the reorganisation of the schools at Augsburg, Weimar, Magdeburg, and Rudolfstadt. The lack of success that attended his efforts was due to his quarrelsome disposition and to his utter inability to establish a modus vivendi with his colleagues and assistants. For his Principles, see Intr. II. .

(born in 1565, in the Duchy of Oldenburg; died in 1621).—Professor of Poetry and Theology at the University of Rostock. His Didactic, quoted by Comenius in sec. 17 of his introduction, has not been preserved.

(1581–1617).—Professor of Theology, of Greek, and of Oriental Languages in the University of Giessen. He was one of the Commissioners who examined Ratke’s didactic method in 1612.

.—This may possibly have been a clergyman and mathematician of some repute the Palatinate in the early seventeenth century. Morhof mentions him under the name Franciscus Ridderus (Polyhistor, i. 1. 16).

(1530–1596).—A lawyer at Toulouse, author of a treatise, Methodus ad facilem historiarum cognitionem.

.—Probably Ezechiel Vogel, a schoolmaster at Göttingen, and author of a work, Ephemerides linguæ Latinæ, in which he shows how a boy, by working two hours daily, may learn Latin in one year.

After the Armory, we were let into the five Cabinets full of precious Jewels, pictures, and other rare curiosities. In the first Cabinet, I was shown a curious Candlestick to hang up in the middle of a Room, with several branches spreading from it, and all of yellow Amber, including within it a world of little figures of white Marble or Waxe, neatly cut in little, and appearing through the transparent yellow amber: This Candlestick was given by the Duchess of Lunebourg, to the Duke of Saxony, and by him to Prince Mathias brother to this Great Duke of Florence. In the same Cabinet I saw a Table of polished stones of several colours and lustre, inlay'd into Birds and Flowers. The head of Tiberius Cæsar in one Turky stone, as big as a Ducks egg, and of an inestimable value. A cu-

22 She can't prosper on the course she's going now. It isn't the Lord's way or will. She's too young and she's made a mistake. But we can forgive her. We must. Our hearts must be kept open, soft and tender.” She talked as though she were addressing a meeting, but with a hard, sad, frozen face and voice. “Now, all of you go to bed. We can only pray now, and hope, morning, noon and night, that no evil will befall her. I wish she hadn't done that,” she added, quite out of keeping with the rest of her statement and really not thinking of the children as present at all—just of Esta. But Asa!

Such a father, as Clyde often thought, afterwards. Apart from his own misery, he seemed only to note and be impressed by the more significant misery of his wife. During all this, he had stood foolishly to one side—short, gray, frizzled, inadequate.

“Well, blessed be the name of the Lord,” he interpolated from time to time. “We must keep our hearts open. Yes, we mustn't judge. We must only hope for the best. Yes, yes! Praise the Lord—we must praise the Lord! Amen! Oh, yes! Tst! Tst! Tst!”

“If any one asks where she is,” continued Mrs. Griffiths after a time, quite ignoring her spouse and addressing the children, who had drawn near her, “we will say that she has gone on a visit to some of my relatives back in Tonawanda. That won't be the truth, exactly, but then we don't know where she is or what the truth is—and she may come back. So we must not say or do anything that will injure her until we know.”

“Yes, praise the Lord!” called Asa, feebly.

“So if any one should inquire at any time, until we know, we will say that.”

“Sure,” put in Clyde, helpfully, and Julia added, “All right.” Mrs. griffith paused and looked firmly and yet apologetically at her children. Asa, for his part, emitted another “Tst! Tst! Tst!” and then the children were waved to bed.

At that, Clyde, who really wanted to know what Esta's letter had said, but was convinced from long experience that his mother would not let him know unless she chose, returned to his room again, for he was tired. Why didn't they search more if there was hope of finding her? Where was she now—at this minute? On some train somewhere? Evidently she didn't want to be found. She was probably dissatisfied, just as he was. Here he was, thinking so recently of going away somewhere himself, wondering how the family would take it, and now she had gone

 before him. How would that affect his point of view and action in the future? Truly, in spite of his father's and mother's misery, he could not see that her going was such a calamity, not from the going point of view, at any rate. It was only another something which hinted that things were not right here. Mission work was nothing. All this religious emotion and talk was not so much either. It hadn't saved Esta. Evidently, like himself, she didn't believe so much in it, either.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SURVEY PUBLICATIONS

The basic unit of the NIS is the General Survey, which is not published in a bound-by chapter format so that topics of greater perishability can be updated on an individual basis. These chapters—Country Profile, The Society, Government and Politics, The Economy, Military Geography, Transportation and Telecommunications, Armed Forces, Science, and Intelligence and Security, provide the primary NIS coverage. Some chapters, particularly Science and Intelligence and Security, that are not pertinent to all countries, are produced selectively. For small countries requiring only minimal NIS treatment, the General Survey coverage may be bound into one volume.

Supplementing the General Survey is the NIS Basic Intelligence Factbook, a ready reference publication that semiannually updates key statistical data found in the Survey. An unclassified edition of the factbook omits some details on the economy, the defense forces, and the intelligence and security organizations.

Although detailed sections on many topics were part of the NIS Program, production of these sections has been phased out. Those previously produced will continue to be available as long as the major portion of the study is considered valid.

A quarterly listing of all active NIS units is published in the Inventory of Available NIS Publications, which is also bound into the concurrent classified Factbook. The inventory lists all NIS units by area name and number and includes classification and date of issue; it this facilitates the ordering of NIS units as well as their filling, cataloging, and utilization.

Initial dissemination, additional copies of NIS units, or separate chapters of the General Surveys ca bee obtained directly or through liaison channels from the Central Intelligence Agency.

The General Survey is prepared for the NIS by the Central Intelligence Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency under the general direction of the NIS Committee. It is coordinated, edited, published, and disseminated by the Central Intelligence Agency.

 any one resolve not only to investigate so weighty a matter, but also to give promises; since this can only have the advantage of others as its object. Secondly, not to lose heart at once, if the first attempt do not succeed on the spot, and the longed-for result be not brought to full completion by us. For in any matter it is necessary that the seed should first sprout, and then raise itself gradually.

However incomplete, therefore, our essay may be, and however much it fall short of the goal at which we aim, the investigation itself will prove that it has reached a higher stage, and one lying nearer the goal than hitherto. Finally, I ask my readers to bring with them to their criticism as much attention and keenness as is befitting in matters of the greatest importance. It will be my first step to touch briefly on the circumstances that led to this essay and to enumerate the chief points that present any novelty; I can then with full confidence entrust the one to my reader’s candour, the other to his further research.

8. This art of teaching and of learning was in former centuries to a great extent unknown, at any rate in that degree of perfection to which it is now wished to raise it, and on that account the world of culture and the schools were so full of toil and weariness, of weakness and deceits, that only those who were gifted with parts beyond the ordinary could obtain a sound education.

9. But recently it has pleased God to let the morning glow of a newly-rising age appear, in which He has inspired some sturdy men in Germany, who, weary of the errors of the present method of instruction, began to think out an easier and shorter way of teaching languages. This they did, the one after the other, and therefore some with greater, others with less success, as may be seen in the didactic works that they gave to the world.

10. I here allude to men like Ratke, Lubin, Helwig, Ritter, Bodin, Glaum, Vogel, Wolfstirn, and he who deserves to be placed before them all, John Valentine Andreæ (who in his golden writings has laid bare the diseases not only of the Church and the state, but also of

The notices taken of it in the periodical press, as well as letters addressed to me by many with whom I am not personally acquainted, show that an unabated interest is still taken in every particular that can be told about her. I am thus encouraged not only to offer a Second Edition of the Memoir, but also to enlarge it with some additional matter which I might have scrupled to intrude on the public if they had not thus seemed to call for it. In the present Edition, the narrative is somewhat enlarged, and a few more letters are added; with a short specimen of her childish stories. The cancelled chapter of 'Persuasion' is given, in compliance with wishes both publicly and privately expressed. A fragment of a story entitled 'The Watsons' is

vi printed; and extracts are given from a novel which she had begun a few months before her death; but the chief addition is a short tale never before published, called 'Lady Susan.' I regret that the little which I have been able to add could not appear in my First Edition; as much of it was either unknown to me, or not at my command, when I first published; and I hope that I may claim some indulgent allowance for the difficulty of recovering little facts and feelings which had been merged half a century deep in oblivion.

 the schools, and has pointed out the remedies). In France too they set this stone in motion, since, in the year 1629, Janus Cæcilius Frey brought out a fine work on Didactic (under the title, A new and easy way to the goodly Sciences and Arts, to Languages, and to Rhetoric).

11. It is almost incredible what pleasure I found, and how my pain over the decline of my native land and the terribly oppressed state of all Germany was lightened whenever opportunity arose and I turned over the pages of these writings. For I began to hope that it was not without purpose that the providence of the Almighty had allowed it to come to pass that the decline of the old schools and the foundation of new ones in harmony with new ideas should take place at one and the same time. For he who intends to raise a new building, invariably levels the ground beforehand and removes the less comfortable or ruined houses.

12. This thought raised in me a joyful hope mingled with pleasant emotion; but I soon felt this vanish, and reflected that it would be impossible to reconstruct such an important institution from the very beginning.

13. As I wished for instruction on some points, and on others wished, myself, to instruct my fellows, I applied by letter first to one then to another of the above-mentioned writers. In vain, however, partly because some guarded their ideas with great care, partly because the letters did not reach those to whom they were directed, and therefore remained unanswered.

14. Only one of them (the renowned J. V. Andreæ) sent the friendly answer that he wished to be of some assistance, and urged me to proceed with my efforts. Stimulated by this, my spirit began to take more daring flights, till at last my unbounded solicitude for the public good led me to take the matter thoroughly in hand.

15. So, putting on one side the discoveries, thoughts, observations, and admonitions of others, I began myself to investigate the matter thoughtfully and to seek out the causes, the principles, the methods, and the objects of the

 of children, and who in order to prove Himself faithful, earnest, and benign, gives to those who ask, opens to those who knock, and grants Himself to those who seek Him (Luke ii.), and whose good gifts to us we ought to pass on ungrudgingly to others. As my Saviour knows, my heart is so simple that it makes no difference to me whether I teach or am taught, whether I exhort or am exhorted, whether I am the teacher of teachers, or the scholar of scholars.

22. And so, what the Lord permits me to observe, that give I forth for public use and as common property.

23. If any find anything better, let him follow my example, lest, having buried his talent in a napkin, he be accused of wantonness by our Lord, who wills that His servants put out to usury so that the talent which is given to each may win another talent (Luke xix.)

 "Oh, are we in Belgium," I replied sleepily; "I thought we were in Germany. I didn't know." And then, in a burst of confidence, I added, feeling that further deceit was useless, "I don't know where I am, you know."

"No, I thought you didn't," he replied. "That is exactly the idea you give anybody. I wish you'd wake up a bit."

We waited about an hour at Ostend, while our train was made up. There was only one carriage labelled for Cologne, and four more passengers wanted to go there than the compartment would hold.

Not being aware of this, B. and I made no haste to secure places, and, in consequence, when, having finished our coffee, we leisurely strolled up and opened the carriage door we saw that every seat was already booked. A bag was in one space and a rug in another, an umbrella booked a third, and so on. Nobody was there, but the seats were gone!

It is the unwritten law among travellers that a man's luggage deposited upon a seat, shall secure that seat to him until he comes to sit upon it himself. This is a good law and a just law, and one that, in my normal state, I myself would die to uphold and maintain.

But at three o'clock on a chilly morning one's moral sensibilities are not properly developed. The average man's conscience does not begin work till eight or nine o'clock—not till after breakfast, in fact. At three a.m. he will do things that at three in the afternoon his soul would revolt at.

Under ordinary circumstances I should as soon have thought of shifting a man's bag and appropriating his seat as an ancient Hebrew squatter would have thought

 of removing his neighbour's landmark; but at this time in the morning my better nature was asleep.

I have often read of a man's better nature being suddenly awakened. The business is generally accomplished by an organ-grinder or a little child (I would back the latter, at all events—give it a fair chance—to awaken anything in this world that was not stone deaf, or that had not been dead for more than twenty-four hours); and if an organ-grinder or a little child had been around Ostend station that morning, things might have been different.

B. and I might have been saved from crime. Just as we were in the middle of our villainy, the organ-grinder or the child would have struck up, and we should have burst into tears, and have rushed from the carriage, and have fallen upon each other's necks outside on the platform, and have wept, and waited for the next train.

As it was, after looking carefully around to see that nobody was watching us, we slipped quickly into the carriage, and, making room for ourselves among the luggage there, sat down and tried to look innocent and easy.

B. said that the best thing we could do, when the other people came, would be to

Bolshevists have frequently declared that the foundation of their whole movement is propaganda. This, in itself, is an amazing confession, but more amazin still is their frank avowal of the character of this propaganda. The ninth Communist Congress (March–April, 1920) says on this subject:

As to the nature of the propaganda, we have the following historic utterance of the Bolshevist high priest himself in regard to the methods to be used in order to destroy the labor unions:

It must not be supposed for one moment that the childlike stupidity involved in this public pronouncement of the intent to deceive is exceptional for the

 Rh great Bolshevist "master mind." In his letter of last November to British labor he shows the same mixture of simplicity and arrogance. The substance of that letter was summed up last November by the pro-Soviet London Daily News as follows:

This letter was such an exhibition of incredible ignorance regarding Great Britain, combined with incapacity for the simplest logical reasoning, that even the friendly British Labor Party lost its patience while The Daily News, unable to restrain its wrath, thus characterized the Bolshevist "Czar":

Mad Kings, Tzars and Kaisers ruin, as a rule, only themselves and their subjects; a mad demagogue provides every half-witted enemy of liberty with a moral to his servile tale. …

Bolshevism has many enemies, but it has none so formidable as its foremost figure. We can imagine a man thinking in the sort of way in which Lenin talks to his British Communist "Comrades" in the extracts from his new book printed elsewhere in our columns

22 to-day. We can imagine a man unfolding to like-minded friends in the privacy of his own house some such plan of campaign as he suggests to them. But that anyone having conceived such a design should proceed to proclaim it from the housetops is a thing almost incredible. It argues an arrogant contempt for all possible opposition which, to those who know the real strength of "Communism" in this country, seems not far removed from insanity.

The workings of the mind of this half-crazed and inflated fanatic are important not only as largely dominating the movement but because they are typical of his even less gifted Bolshevists. Perhaps the greatest oratorical effort of his life was at the Second Congress of the Communist Internationale held at Moscow in July, 1920. There, in rapid succession, he made a whole string of utterly ignorant or consciously false statements about Germany, America, Japan and France—making these propositions the very foundation of the world policy of the Internationale and foreign policy of the Soviets. Here are a few of his remarks:

You know that the Versailles Treaty forced Germany and a whole series of conquered States, into conditions of absolute impossibility of economic existence, into conditions of complete absence of rights, of utter humiliation. … America, which profited most of all from the war, being converted into a rich country from a country that had a mass of debts. … Japan, which profited much by remaining outside the actual conflict, seizing the Asiatic continent. …

France's assets are three and one-quarter billions, while her liabilities are ten and a half; that is three times more. … This is the country which has lived

his paraphrase, he giveth this sence of the Text; Wherefore let him consider, that the Lord Jesus is the propitiation for our sins, as who hath purchased full remission of them all for us: And not only for us, who at this time embrace his doctrine, but for all men of the whole world, as many as by faith receive or appehend the blessing of the Gospell offered unto them. In this sence the world is taken, as they themselves confesse, Rom. 11. 12, 15. Their fall is the riches of the world, and their casting off the reconciliation of the world, that is, of the Gentiles converted to the faith, which did make a great part of the world, and before conversion were worldly and profane men. The rejection of the Jewes was an occasion, by which the Gentiles, hitherto without that gratious communication, was made rich, and being converted to the faith, did returne into favour with God. And the same argument they bring out of the former Text to confute the distinction of Christs death effectually for some, sufficiently for all, because then the adversative particle, doth loose his emphasis, if the Apostles words be thus understood, Christ died effectually for us, and not only so, but sufficiently for the sinnes of the whole world, doth confirme the other interpretation; for the adversative should loose it weight, if the sentence be thus resolved, Christ is our propitiation by faith, in whom God is actually reconciled, and not only so, but he is reconcileable to the whole world that lieth not in infidelity.

The maintainers of universall redemption thinke it may strongly be proved by this reason, All men are bound to beleeve in Christ: but Christ died for all men, that are bound to believe in him; which some propound in this forme; Every man is bound to beleeve, that Christ died for him: but whatsoever a man is bound to beleeve that is true: therefore he died for every man. But if by beleeving in Christ they understand nothing but bare assenting to this proposition, that Christ died for all men, and for me as a man, for the impetration of righteousnesse quantum in se, or to purchase the grace of the Father and pardon of sinnes, no man is bound to beleeve it, because it is not revealed in Scripture, much lesse made knowne to every man in the world by meanes sufficient. Every man called, whether he hearken to God calling or not is bound to beleeve that Christ is offered unto him as a Saviour, so as if he beleeve he shall be saved: but that Christ died for him in particular for the impetration of righteousnesse, and for every

No more false, boastful, or deluded utterance was ever recorded from the lips of Kaiser or Czar than the following from Lenin's much advertised but little read "moderate" speech at the Congress of the Russian Communist Party in March, 1921; nor could any citation better illustrate the great hallucination upon which all present Bolshevist calculations are built:

The complete falsity of the entire Bolshevist propaganda may be best understood by Americans from a few quotations suggesting the picture that is presented to the Russian people of America and of the rest of the world.

 24 effectively precluding the expression of non-Bolshevist opinion, they are able to a considerable degree to impress these pictures upon the minds of the Russian people and to shape their attitude to America and other countries accordingly. According to Mrs. Snowden and other recent visitors, the Russian people have been persuaded by such methods to believe that Bolshevism is spreading all the world over and that many countries are on the verge of Bolshevist revolutions. We read frequently in the Bolshevist press also statements like the following: "If we compare the conditions of life in Russia with the conditions of life in the West, we have to state that our situation is a brilliant one." (From Boyevaya Pravda, May 19, 1920.)

Here are a few statements illustrating American news as it appears in the Soviet wireless:

 Rh The head of the All Russian Soviet of Trade Unions, Tomsky, thus pictures the position of the President of the American Federation of Labor:

The Soviet régime is keeping a number of Americans as hostages in the hope that it will be able to use them to compel recognition by the American Government—a method which undoubtedly had considerable effect in Great Britain. Among these hostages is the well-known Red Cross worker, Kilpatrick. When first captured by the famous Bolshevist cavalry General, Budenny, Kilpatrick reported that the chief intelligence officer insisted "that the American working classes were starving and the whole country on the verge of revolution." This was at the end of 1920! Yet, the Russian intelligence officer could have reached no other conclusion from the Bolshevist press.

If a government appeals to its own people largely on the basis of such falsehoods, we can imagine how much reliance is to be placed upon Soviet statements about their own performances especially issued for consumption abroad.

The character of the Soviet régime in Russia and of the Communist Internationale based upon it can be understood only if we grasp firmly and keep steadily in mind the utter and wholesale mendacity of the Bolshevist propaganda. Practically every statement that comes directly or indirectly from Bolshevist sources is vitiated, while statements emanating from the pro-

 26 Bolshevists who, in addition to being indoctrinated with this Bolshevist contempt for truth are, almost without exception, wofully ignorant of Russia, are often still more fanciful.

It is the vast extent and persistence of this propaganda smoke-screen that has obscured Soviet Russia from our eyes, and not the lack of well authenticated facts or any incomprehensible mystery in Soviet Russia or in Bolshevism.

The enormous role played by mendacious propaganda in the Bolshevist political system arises only in part from the character of the propaganda and in part from the monopoly they have established in the control of education and the press (including the monopoly of paper) together with their prohibition of free speech and assemblage for all opposition parties.

It may be doubted if any State Socialist writer has hitherto even conceived an Utopian system under which all printed matter whatever is controlled by the State. Not only have the Communists set up such a State control but they have established at the same time a control over the state by the very small group which dominates the Communist Party, as we show in following chapters. We read in a recent despatch:

In other words a small group has undertaken to establish a complete monopoly over the intellectual output of

 Rh the country. This group has practically attempted to direct the entire intellectual intake of a hundred million people! Now let us recall once more the character of the Communist intellectual output—as already sketched—and we can begin to realize how monstrous is the crime that is being attempted against the soul and mind of the Russian people.

But this is only one aspect—though the most fundamental—of Bolshevist rule. We shall now take up some others.

Mr. Mr. Alexander, as this was not a congressional hearing, witnesses are not invited or entitled to deliver an opening statement. However if you with like to deliver a brief statement on the record, we will allow you to do so now.

The I would like to.

Mr. Thank you. Proceed.

The Good morning, Chairman Thompson, members of the committee, and committee staff. My name is Ali Alexander. With my today are my legal counsel, Joseph McBride, Paul Kamenar, and unfortunately Baron Coleman who has been corresponding with you could not attend

I want to be crystal clear at the outset, I had nothing to do with any violence or law breaking that happened on January 6th. I had nothing to do with the planning of violence. I had nothing to do with the preparation of violence. I had nothing to do with the execution of violence.

Any suggestion to the contrary is factually false. Anyone who suggests that I had anything do with the unlawful activities of January 6th is wrong. They are either mistaken or lying. Period.

It is not uncommon in the aftermath of historic chaos and disruption to look for a bogeyman. After all, someone must be held accountable, right? As an Arab man and a Black man, an American, it is common for people who look like me to be blamed for things that we did not do. On top of that, my birth name can sound scary to the uninformed and uneducated. It has often been used as a weapon against me by both the left wing and the right wing. Ali Abdul-Razaq Akbar, someone with that name, that terrifying must have done something wrong, right?

Comrades,

The theses and questions of the basic problems of the Communist International are published in all languages, and for the Russian comrades they present nothing substantially new, for they chiefly apply, some basic features of our revolutionary experience and the lessons of our revolutionary movement to a whole series of Western countries, to Western Europe. Therefore I shall dwell in my report somewhat more fully, though in brief outline, on the first_ part of my subject, namely, the international situation.

The basis of the entire international situation as we find it at present is in the economic relations of imperialism. Since the beginning of the twentieth century this new stage of capitalism, the most highly developed and last stage, has become quite clear. You, of course, all, know that the fact that capital has attained gigantic proportions constitutes the most characteristic and substantial feature of Imperialism. The place of free competition is taken by monopoly of stupendous proportions, A mere handful of capitalists could formerly concentrate in their hands entire branches of industry; these branches have passed into the hands of capitalist corporations, cartels, syndicates, trusts, which sometimes assumed an international character. Thus with regard to finance, to rights of property, and partly to production, entire branches of industry, not only in seperate countries but throughout the world, were captured by monopoly. Upon this basis there developed a domination of a handful of the biggest banks, financial kings, financial magnates, a domination such as never was seen be-

7 Again, I want to be perfectly clear. I did absolutely nothing wrong. I don't hide from who I am. I'm the American Dream. My mother was a Black mother in Section 8 housing. My father was an Arab man who disappeared when I was just 2 years old. About 15 years ago or so, I was arrested on two different occasions for petty crimes. I won't re-litigate the merits of those offenses in this short time, but two arrests in your early twenties as a Black man often sets people back, so far back, that they never again find firm footing upon which they can succeed.

I managed to collect those two criminal charges as I was just starting out as an adult. I had every reason to fail in life, but I refused to fail. My faith in Christ refused to allow me to fail.

Instead, I worked to change the system people insisted was supposed to hold me down. I got involved in politics and started putting together coalitions, rallies, raising awareness for a variety of candidates and causes I believe in. I went from riding in the back of a cop car as the accused to advising the Presidential administration on criminal justice reform.

I used a silhouette of my most tragic youthful mug shot on a T-shirt to raise money for fatherless Black boys. Boys who were growing up like me. I've hosted hundreds of rallies with millions of participants in all 50 States, not one single rally, to my knowledge, has ever turned violent, not one, never. That's not a coincidence. I demand nonviolence at my events. I demand nonviolence among my membership and leadership. I demand it nonviolence among my associates.

My leadership and I work closely with law enforcement at every event to ensure peace and order. We obey rules and commands, we treat officers and officials with the respect they deserve. Those principles were not compromised on January 6th. In fact, I stated on numerous occasions that I support the production of legislative solutions and


text:
Page:CTRL0000034607 - Deposition of Ali Alexander, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/8

8 recommendations on how to best avoid future collapses of civil order and violence at the Capital. I've stated on numerous occasions that I support the work of law enforcement agencies to prosecute those who committed violent acts on January 6th.

There are a number of videos of my associates and me arriving at the Capitol on January 6th, after the violence had begun, but early in the stage—in the early stages of law breaking. And those videos our group can be seen working with officers to try to end the violence and law-breaking. We can be seen yelling and screaming at people to stop trying to breach the Capitol, and to stop violent law-breaking in general. I believe those videos have been provided to the committee. If they have not, we'll happily share them.

While I was actively trying to deescalate events at the Capitol to end the violence and law-breaking, it is my believe that this many have not been a problem had the Women for America First leadership at the Ellipse event not intentionally removed instructions from the program that were supposed to be included to provide clarity on exactly where to go following the Ellipse event, and that was to Lot 8, the north side of Capitol Grounds, where we had a permit.

When I protested the removal of these instructions, I was barred from participating as an organizer or speaker at the Ellipse event that preceded the Capitol riot. Ultimately, I became just a VIP guest at the Ellipse event. As a result, civil authority collapsed before the Ellipse rally was even over, this is well-documented before I arrived and before my event was ever scheduled to begin. I want to clarify, my permitted event at Lot 8 never took place on the northeast side of the Capitol Grounds. The quote, "One Nation Under God" event that Stop the Steal did not start the chaos. The chaos was well underway before our event was scheduled to begin. We never held our event, we weren't allowed to.

 fore; and these magnates were transforming even the freeest republics into financial monarchies. Before the war this fact was openly recognised for instance by even such non-revolutionary writers as Lizes in France.

This domination of a handful of capitalists had reached its full development when the entire world was divided by the biggest capitalists, not only in the sense of the seizure of the various sources of raw material and means of production, but also in the sense of completion of the preliminary division of colonies. Some forty years ago it was estimated that somewhat more than two hundred and fifty millions of the population of the colonies was subject to six capitalist powers. Before the war of 1914 there were in the colonies already about six hundred million people, and if we add such countries as Persia, Turkey, China which were then already reduced to a semi-colonial status we will get in round figures one thousand millions of people who were oppressed by the richest, the most civilised and freeest countries through colonial dependence. And you know that besides direct dependence in point of rights, the colonial dependence presupposes a whole series of dependent relations of a financial and economic character. It implies a whole series of wars which were not considered as wars, because they frequently assumed the character of a slaughter when European and American Imperialist troops, armed with the most perfect means of extermination, massacred harmless and defenceless people of the colonial countries.

The first Imperialist war of 1914–1918 grew inevitably from this division of the whole world, from this domination of capitalist monopoly, from this unlimited power of a mere handful of the biggest banks, say, two to five in each country. This war was waged over the question of the division of the entire world. It was waged over the question as to which one of two groups of the biggest States—the British or the German—should secure the opportunity and the right of robbing, crushing and exploiting the entire world. And you know that the war settled this question in favour of the British group. As a result of this war all capitalist contradictions have become immeasurably more acute. The War at one blow placed nearly a quarter of a billion people in a state which is equal to that of a colony. In such a:state it placed Russia, the population of which must be estimated at one hundred of twenty millions, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, in which countries there are no less than one hundred and twenty million people, That is to say,

9 In closing, I want to reiterate my efforts to comply with the committee's subpoena. Over the past few weeks, I've spent more than 80 hours personally searching through my archives, looking for relevant and responsive documentation to the committee's request. I have probably spent another 120 hours preparing for your answers over the past 3 weeks. And I've hired attorneys and computer consultants to be as responsive as possible, to provide as much as I can find within the short amount of time that I had to produce documents.

We have submitted hundreds of pages of documents representing thousands of records, emails and texts, even though much of what is sought over is not pertinent to the committee's purpose, or in some cases, subject to privilege. I did all this despite not being accused of a crime. I did all this despite being a private citizen with constitutional rights protecting me from unreasonable searches and seizures without a warrant entitling anyone to the documents in some cases, I voluntarily provided. It has prevented me from working. It has preventing me from sleeping at times. And it has been extremely difficult and burdensome, but I am here to do the patriotic thing voluntarily.

If this committee thinks of anything I haven't turned over to which you believe I have access to, I ask that you please let me know and how much refresh my memory. I receive, at times, hundreds, or even thousands of texts, or emails a day. I appear at all hours of day and night on media and social media and do interviews, livestreams, and chats. I can't possibly remember everything I've seen, everything I've heard, everything I've read or said.

I went from living the American Dream ta experiencing an American nightmare, where my for my skin color, my birth name, my party affiliation, who I voted for in 2024, my ability to earn a living, my belief that Christ is king, and a concerns about election irregularities have been weaponized against me. But I can assure you I have you nothing

10 to hide because I have done nothing wrong.

We may disagree politically, they call politics a contact sport after all. But at heart, we're all Americans. We stand before God and our fellow man in a great social contract where we promise to do the best to get it right. May God have mercy on us and us peace for how we treat each other at times in the world of politics.

I thank you for your time. I look forward to answering any questions you have. And one thing I'd like to add is while America is divided on many issues, at the end of the day our First Amendment rights to assemble to protest, whether on the right or the left, should be protected and should be protected by this body. To prevent future unlawful activity which is the goal of this committee, whether from those who stormed the Capitol, or those abortion rights activists who stormed the Supreme Court, or blocked Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation, or BLM rioters, that is a matter of law enforcement, not the suppression of free speech and assembly. Thank you.

Mr. Thank you, Mr. Alexander.

Before we get into the questions, I would like to note for the record that I will be referring to exhibits throughout the questioning here today and it won't be in a sequential order. There is premarked in your binders, so I will be referring to a different documents throughout the day. I just want to make everyone I might start with Exhibit 26, I might go to Exhibit 2, but they have all been premarked and have all been provided to you in your binders here today.

Mr. Thank you.

So Mr. Alexander, let's start with Exhibit 26, let's start there. I'll give you time to flip to that exhibit. And I want to orient you a little bit. Let's go to the evening

Mr. Exhibit 26?

Mr. 26. Yes.

Mr. Is that the one with the—

Mr. . That's correct. That's correct. Page 211.

 * BY

So this is the evening of January 5th at approximately 7:19 p.m., you text a Ms. Liz Willis, what appears to be an itinerary for January 6th. You said "Ellipse," then the "U.S. Capitol. Trump is supposed to order us to the Capitol at the end of his speech, but we will see." So on January 5th around this time, just walk us through what events you planned to attend on January 6th?

I'm sorry. Can you repeat that?

At this time on January 5th, that evening, walk us through what your plans of what events you were going to attend on January 6th?

The first thing I want to state it is 7:19 p.m., I'm trying to place myself. A great deal of my actions are captured on video, so I wouldn't rely on memory to tell me where I was texting this reporter. So Liz Willis is with RSBN. She's a reporter asking about logistical information to the best of my knowledge.

I'll make it a little easier then—

Can I—

Oh yes, you can finish.

Just for clarification, I don't know that this is 7:00 p.m.—7:19 p.m., it looks like it could be a.m. because—

Okay. Sorry about—so 7:19 a.m. So the day before January 6th, what

12 were your plans for January 6th? What events were you going to go to?

From what I recall, January 6th was about attending the Ellipse event at 6:00 or 7:00 a.m. to help guide VIPs to try to figure out when my speaking slot was going to be, to make sure they had control of all that media, et cetera. Sal don't know when I arrived, but it was certainly early. And to the best of my memory, it was certainly, you know, before 7:30 or 8:00, but these text messages will probably provide a better accounting of that time.

And again, on January 5th thinking about what am I expecting to do on January 6th at the conclusion of the President's speech, you know, he's going to keynote it obviously, we were going to exit and then go to Lot 8 where we had a permit for a coalition called "One Nation Under God," Stop the Steal was the funder of it; Stop the Steal was the main organizer of it, but it was a religious and political thing. We exhausted all of our other political options and left it up to Congress. And so, that is my awareness.

And what I want to convey to the committee is that you don't tell the President when to stop speaking. So while a lot of us may have said, Oh, this would be beautiful if it ended at 12:30, it could have ended at 1:00 or 1:30 and that would affect the lot 8 event. So anyway, I think to the best of my recollection, on January 5th, the only two events I'm planning to attend are the Ellipse event, and then the Lot 8 event, but I'm aware of, like, a dozen—nearly a dozen other events happening within proximity and others. And it's not foreign that people would pull me aside and ask me to attend something.

Thank you. And just to clarify, when you say Lot 8, where is Lot 8?

Lot 8 is, and this is a ser—it is kind of—it's not embarrassing, but just to show you how kind of—I've worked in politics a long time, but I've tried to avoid D.C., is


text:
Page:CTRL0000034607 - Deposition of Ali Alexander, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/13

13 my best understanding is that Lot 8 is on the northeast side the Capital Grounds. So it is not the Capital Plaza, it is not the Capital Building, it is the northeast side the Capitol Grounds.

In many of my text messages I think I'm referring to as south. And so think that my attorneys have tried to provide clarification and correspondence, but I'm not—I think that happened, but—

But just to be clear, your plans on January 5th for the next day is that you were going to the Ellipse and then you were going to go to the Capitol Grounds. Those are the two events?

I can't recall anything outside of those two permanent events.

Okay. Andon January 5th what were your expectations for the attendees? Where were they going to go on January 6th? Where did you think the participants—what events were they going to go to?

You're ask—well, to be honest, I couldn't—you know, I want to speculate with you, but I'm being asked to recall about what I thought on January 5th, and that's 11 months ago. And, you know, out of an abundance of caution, I don't want to give you false testimony, so while I'd like to engage on speculating with you, the text messages probably provide more information than I could 11 months later.

So let's do that then. On the same page in your same text with Ms. Liz Willis, you say, "Trump is supposed to order us to the Capitol at the end of the speech, but we will see." So your expectation is you were going to go from the Ellipse and by "us," the attendees, to the Capitol, correct?

The Lot 8 event followed the Ellipse event schedule-wise. And there is—I don't know what the perimeter was, in November it was something, in December it got wider, and then in January, you know, the D.C. authorities made it even wider. The only


text:
Page:CTRL0000034607 - Deposition of Ali Alexander, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/14

14 way of getting from one physical location to another is to walk over, and so that's that.

So just to confirm, you were going to attend the Ellipse, and the attendees and you were going to walk over to the Capitol Grounds following it?

Or use a golf cart.

Or use a golf cart?

Yes.

But travel, travel from the Ellipse to the Capital Grounds?

Yeah. I mean, I didn't have access to any other means of transporting myself, to my knowledge.

So I want to go back to something you said a little earlier, I guess on the Sth, you believed you were going to be a speaker at the Ellipse on January 6th?

Absolutely.

And why did you think that you were going to be a speaker at the Ellipse event?

I think my text messages and email correspondences that I have provided to the committee represent—unfortunately, I'm watching it be debated in the press and on Twitter, but contemporaneously it wasn't a debate. I'm talking with a Trump campaign staffer, the representations that are being made to me are contemporaneously being proven true. There was some suspicion among some of my associates that, no, no, no, we're being played. But that's not—I didn't see any evidence of that. And I had heard that there was some people who didn't want me to speak, but that's not the representation from the Trump campaign official that I got. And so, I can attest that my text messages, my emails, and the fact that I showed up that early attests to the fact that I, 100 percent, believed, you know—again, I'm recalling something 11 months later, but that I was the speaker at this event.
