And as for the human mind, I deny that it is the same in all men. I hold that there is every variety of natural capacity from the idiot to Newton and Shakspeare; the mass of mankind, midway between these extremes, being blockheads of different degrees; education leaving them pretty nearly as it found them, with this single difference, that it gives a fixed direction to their stupidity, a sort of incurable wry neck to the thing they call their understanding. So one nose points always east, and another always west, and each is ready to swear that it points due north.

If that be the point of truth, very few intellectual noses point due north.

 PREFACE

Between 1945 and 1962, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) conducted 235 atmospheric nuclear weapons tests at sites in the United States and in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. In all, about 205,000 Department of Defense (DOD) participants, both military and civilian, were present at the tests. Of these, approximately 142,000 participated in the Pacific test series and approximately another 4,000 in the single Atlantic test series.

In 1977, 15 years after the last aboveground nuclear weapon test, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services noted more leukemia cases than would normally be expected among about 3,200 soldiers who had been present at shot SMOKY, a test of the 1957 PLUMBBOB series. Since that initial report by the CDC, the Veterans Administration (VA) has received a number of claims for medical benefits from former military personnel who believe their health may have been affected by their participation in the weapon testing program.

In late 1977, the DOD began a study that provided data to both the CDC and the VA on potential exposures to ionizing radiation among the military and civilian personnel who participated in the atmospheric testing 15 to 32 years earlier. In early 1978, the DOD also organized a Nuclear Test Personnel Review (NTPR) to:

 * Identify DOD personnel who had taken part in the atmospheric nuclear weapon tests
 * Determine the extent of the participants' exposure to ionizing radiation
 * Provide public disclosure of information concerning participation by DOD personnel in the atmospheric nuclear weapon tests.

This report on Operation CROSSROADS is one of a series of volumes that are the product of the NTPR. The DOD Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA), whose Director is the executive agent of the NTPR program, prepared the reports, which are based on military and technical documents reporting various aspects of each of the tests. Reports of the NTPR provide a public record of the activities and associated radiation exposures of DOD personnel for intrested former participants and for use in public health research and Federal policy studies.

Information from which this report was compiled was primarily extracted from planning and after-action reports of Joint Task Force 1 (JTF 1) and its subordinate organizations. Documents that accurately placed personnel at the test sites were desired so that their degree of exposure to the ionizing radiation resulting from the tests could be assessed. The search for this information was undertaken in archives and libraries of the Federal Government, in special collections supported by the Federal Government, and, were reasonable, by discussion or review with participants.

For CROSSROADS, the most important archival source is the National Archive and Record Center, Modern Military Branch, Washington, D.C. The Naval Archives at the Washington Navy Yard also were helpful, as was the collection of documents in the AFWL Technical Library at Kirtland Air Force Base, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the Stafford L. Warren Papers at the University of California, Los Angeles. Other archives searched were the Department of Energy (DOE) archives at Germantown, Maryland, its Nevada Operations Office (DOE/NV) archives at Las Vegas, and archives of the Test Division of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

JTF 1 exposure records and an additional file of exposure-related documents that had been microfilmed by the Reynolds Electrical and Engineering Company, Inc., support contractor for DOE/NV, were also useful.

Primary documentation of personnel movement in areas of potential radiation exposure is limited. This has been compensated for, where possible, with inferences drawn from secondary sources and the exposure records themselves.

The work was performed under RDT&E RMSS B350079464 099 QMXMK 506-09 H2590D for the Defense Nuclear Agency by personnel from Kaman Tempo. Guidance was provided by Mr. Paul W. Boren of the Defense Nuclear Agency Biomedical Effects Directorate.

ATHENÆUS.

author of the Deipnosophists was an Egyptian, born in Naucratis, a town on the left side of the Canopic Mouth of the Nile. The age in which he lived is somewhat uncertain, but his work, at least the latter portion of it, must have been written after the death of Ulpian the lawyer, which happened 228.

Athenæus appears to have been imbued with a great love of learning, in the pursuit of which he indulged in the most extensive and multifarious reading; and the principal value of his work is, that by its copious quotations it preserves to us large fragments from the ancient poets, which would otherwise have perished. There are also one or two curious and interesting extracts in prose; such, for instance, as the account of the gigantic ship built by Ptolemæus Philopator, extracted from a lost work of Callixenus of Rhodes.

The work commences, in imitation of Plato's Phædo, with a dialogue, in which Athenæus and Timocrates supply the place of Phædo and Echecrates. The former relates to his friend the conversation which passed at a banquet given at the house of Laurentius, a noble Roman, between some of the guests, the best known of whom are Galen and Ulpian.

iv The first two books, and portions of the third, eleventh, and fifteenth, exist only in an Epitome, of which both the date and author are unknown. It soon, however, became more common than the original work, and eventually in a great degree superseded it. Indeed Bentley has proved that the only knowledge which, in the time of Eustathius, existed of Athenæus, was through its medium.

Athenæus was also the author of a book entitled, "On the Kings of Syria," of which no portion has come down to us.

The text which has been adopted in the present translation is that of Schweighäuser.

Most willingly. But you will permit my drinking it while it sparkles. I hold it a heresy to let it deaden in my hand, while the glass of my compotator is being filled on the opposite side of the table.

 Captain was aghast for an answer that would satisfy both his neighbours, when he was relieved by the divine continuing.) The science of fish-sauce, Mr. Mac Quedy, is by no means brought to perfection; a fine field of discovery still lies open in that line.

Nay, sir, beyond lobster-sauce, I take it, ye cannot go.

In their line, I grant you, oyster and lobster sauce are the pillars of Hercules. But I speak of the cruet sauces, where the quintessence of the sapid is condensed in a phial. I can taste in my mind's palate a combination, which, if I could give it reality, I would christen with the name of my college, and hand it down to posterity as a seat of learning indeed.

 Well, sir, I wish you success, but I cannot let slip the question we started just now. I say, cutting off idiots, who have no minds at all, all minds are by nature alike. Education (which begins from their birth) makes them what they are.

No, sir, it makes their tendencies, not their power. Cæsar would have been the first wrestler on the village common. Education might have made him a Nadir Shah; it might also have made him a Washington; it could not have made him a merry-andrew, for our newspapers to extol as a model of eloquence.

Now, sir, I think education would have made him just any thing, and fit for any

I will thank you for a slice of lamb, with lemon and pepper. Before I proceed with this discussion,—Vin de Grave, Mr. Skionar,—I must interpose one remark. There is a set of persons in your city, Mr. Mac Quedy, who concoct every three or four months, a thing, which they call a review: a sort of sugar-plum manufacturers to the Whig aristocracy.

I cannot tell, sir, exactly, what you mean by that; but I hope you will speak of those gentlemen with respect, seeing that I am one of them.

Rh The selective absorption of the atmosphere is, according to the researches of Tyndall, Lecher and Pernter, Röntgen, Heine, Langley, Ångström, Paschen, and others, of a wholly different kind. It is not exerted by the chief mass of the air, but in a high degree by aqueous vapour and carbonic acid, which are present in the air in small quantities. Further, this absorption is not continuous over the whole spectrum, but nearly insensible in the light part of it, and chiefly limited to the long-waved part, where it manifests itself in very well-defined absorption-bands, which fall off rapidly on both sides. The influence of this absorption is comparatively small on the heat from the sun, but must be of great importance in the transmission of rays from the earth. Tyndall held the opinion that the water-vapour has the greatest influence, whilst other authors, for instance Lecher and Pernter, are inclined to think that the carbonic acid plays the more important part. The researches of Paschen show that these gases are both very effective, so that probably sometimes the one, sometimes the other, may have the greater effect according to the circumstances.

In order to get an idea of how strongly the radiation of the earth (or any other body of the temperature +15° C.) is absorbed by quantities of water-vapour or carbonic acid in the proportions in which these gases are present in our atmosphere, one should, strictly speaking, arrange experiments on the absorption of heat from a body at 15° by means of appropriate quantities of both gases. But such experiments have not been made as yet, and, as they would require very expensive apparatus beyond that at my disposal, I have not been in a position to execute them. Fortunately there are other researches by Langley in his work on 'The Temperature Rh

 God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints." "Ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief;" and yet the Lord expressly says that such would be the manner of His coming. "I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." "The Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ." To Timothy, also, Paul writes, "I give thee charge that thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ."

This array of passages, which could easily be extended, seems to show with great certainty that the impressions and expectations of the Apostles concerning the Lord's second coming were such as led them to speak of that event as about to occur within the limits of their own age. Indeed, Paul leaves no room for hesitation on this point, for he plainly says, "We which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep." Dr. Doddridge tells us that this passage "hath been interpreted by many as an intimation that the Apostles expected to be found alive at the day of judgment; and on that interpretation, some have urged it as an instance of their entertaining, at least for a while, mistaken notions on that head, as if the day of the Lord were nearly appearing." Dr. Macknight informs us that Grotius, Locke, and others, have taken this view of the case. So also did Whiston. And surely that is the unforced meaning of the passage, notwithstanding the feeble arguments which have been employed for the purpose of refuting it. Some of the Thessalonians to whom it was addressed appear so to have

 understood it, and they ought to be credited with a fair interpretation. We find that they discontinued their ordinary employment, "working not at all," in expectation of the event. Dr. A. Clarke notices this circumstance as a reason for the Apostle's writing this second epistle. He remarks: "It appears that the person who carried the first epistic returned speedily to Corinth, and gave the Apostle a particular account of the state of the Thessalonian Church; and, among other things, informed him that many were in expectation of the speedy arrival of the day of judgment, and that they inferred from his epistle already sent, chap. iv. 15, 17, and v. 4, 6, that it was to take place while the Apostle and themselves should be yet alive. And it appears probable, from some parts of this epistle, that he was informed, also, that some, expecting this sudden appearance of the Lord Jesus, had given up their secular concerns as inconsistent with a due preparation for such an important and awful event; see chap. iii. 6—13. To correct such a misapprehension, St. Paul would feel himself constrained to write immediately, and this is a sufficient reason why these epistles should appear to have been written at so short a distance from each other." There is then both critical and practical evidence to show that the language of the Apostles respecting the second coming of the Lord, very fairly admits of the interpretation that we have given it. There can be no reasonable doubt that they all so spoke of the event as to imply that they expected its occurrence within the period of their own lifetime in the world.

But is not such a view detrimental to the authority of the Apostles? Certainly not. The Lord had said to them, "Of that day and hour knoweth no man;" it was one of those

 many things which He had to say, but which they could not bear, and about which He had very plainly said unto them, "It is not for you to know the times and the seasons." To say then, that they were not clearly acquainted with the time and nature of the Lord's coming to judgment, is simply to repeat what the Lord Himself has said upon the subject. It was information not essential to give efficacy to the mission on which they were employed: they were the Apostles of the first advent; when, therefore, they spoke of the second, it could only have been from some general impression gathered from what the Lord Himself had declared upon the subject. This, indeed, is very strikingly illustrated in the case of Paul's language to the Thessalonians. He introduces the statement which we last considered with these remarkable terms: Now "this I say unto you by the word of the Lord:" which means that this is not any new revelation upon the subject, but that which the Lord had spoken concerning it while He was in the world, and which had been recorded by the evangelists. The Master of the household had delivered the prediction, and the servants reproduced it from general recollection, with acknowledgment. The words, indeed, are not cited, but a paraphrase is given. The words of Matthew are, "The Son of man shall come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." Those of the Apostle are, "The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to

240 of the Moon,' with the aid of which it seems not impossible to determine the absorption of heat by aqueous vapour and by carbonic acid in precisely the conditions which occur in our atmosphere. He has measured the radiation of the full moon (if the moon was not full, the necessary correction relative to this point was applied) at different heights and seasons of the year. This radiation was moreover dispersed in a spectrum, so that in his memoir we find the figures for the radiant heat from the moon for 21 different groups of rays, which are defined by the angle of deviation with a rocksalt prism having a refracting angle of 60 degrees. The groups lie between the angles 40° and 35°, and each group is separated from its neighbours by an interval of 15 minutes. Now the temperature of the moon is nearly the same as that of the earth, and the moon-rays have, as they arrive at the measuring-instruments, passed through layers of carbonic acid and of aqueous vapour of different thickness according to the height of the moon and the humidity of the air. If, then, these observations were wholly comparable with one another, three of them would suffice for calculating the absorption coefficient relatively to aqueous vapour and carbonic acid for any one of the 21 different groups of rays. But, as an inspection of the 24 different series of observations will readily show, this is not the case. The intensity of radiation for any group of rays should always diminish with increasing quantity of aqueous vapour or carbonic acid traversed. Now the quantity of carbonic acid is proportional to the path of the ray through the atmosphere, that is, to the quantity called "Air-mass" in Langley's figures. As unit for the carbonic acid we therefore take air-mass $=1$, i. e. the quantity of carbonic acid that is traversed in the air by a vertical ray. The quantity of aqueous vapour traversed is proportional partly to the "air-mass," partly to the humidity, expressed in grammes of water per cubic metre. As unit for the aqueous vapour I have taken the quantity of aqueous vapour that is traversed by a vertical ray, if the air contains 10 grammes per cubic metre at the earth's surface. If we tabulate the 24 series of observations published by Langley in the work cited with respect to the quantities of carbonic acid and aqueous vapour, we immediately detect that his figures run very irregularly, so that very many exceptions are found to the rule that the transmitted heat should continuously decrease when both these quantities increase.

was once upon a time a king who was so much beloved by his subjects that he thought himself the happiest monarch in the whole world, and he had everything his heart could desire. His palace was filled with the rarest of curiosities, and his gardens with the sweetest flowers, while in the marble stalls of his stables stood a row of milk-white Arabs, with big brown eyes.

Strangers who had heard of the marvels which the king had collected, and made long journeys to see them, were, however, surprised to find the most splendid stall of all occupied by a donkey, with particularly large and drooping ears. It was a very fine donkey; but still, as far as they could tell, nothing so very remarkable as to account for the care with which it was lodged; and they went away wondering, for they could not know that every night, when it was asleep, bushels of gold pieces tumbled out of its ears, which were picked up each morning by the attendants.

After many years of prosperity a sudden blow fell upon the king in the death of his wife, whom he loved dearly. But before she died, the queen, who had always thought first of his happiness, gathered all her strength, and said to him:

‘Promise me one thing: you must marry again, I know, for the good of your people, as well as of yourself. But do not set about it in a hurry. Wait until you have found a woman more beautiful and better formed than myself.’

240 instruction is found to rise and fall with the state of juvenile instruction, and although this is what might have been anticipated on the most obvious grounds, yet the actual correspondence deserves to be distinctly indicated for the sake of the confirmation which it gives to the general accuracy of the numerous details and calculations by which the conclusion has been established.

Although this correspondence is shown to exist, so that in comparing one locality with another, the proportion of adult instruction rises or falls with the proportion of juvenile instruction, yet the proportions are by no means identical. Not only are the proportions not identical, but in comparing the proportion of juvenile instruction in one locality, with the proportion of adult instruction in the same locality, the former is found to be uniformly higher. Still further, the excess in the proportion of juvenile instruction above that of adult instruction is found much higher in the Bengal than in the Behar thanas. These results are explained and confirmed by the conclusion at which we arrived on independent grounds in the early part of this Report, viz., that within a comparatively recent period certain classes of the native population hitherto excluded by usage from vernacular instruction have begun to aspire to its advantages, and that this hitherto unobserved movement in native society has taken place to a greater extent in Bengal than in Behar. Such a movement must apparently have the effect which has been found actually to exist, that of increasing the proportion of juvenile instruction as compared with that of adult instruction and of increasing it in a higher ratio in Bengal than in Behar. The increase is not so great in the city of Moorshedabad as in the Bengal Mofussil thanas.

Second.—In speaking of the total amount of adult instruction very different kitids and degrees of instruction are included under that general term. The attainments of those, both Hindus and Musalmans, who have received a learned education, and who are engaged in the business of teaching, have been already described, and the character of the learned who do not teach does not materially differ except that in general their acquirements are inferior and their poverty greater. They are most frequently engaged in the duties of the priesthood, but I met with two Police Daroghas, one of whom had some pretensions to Hindu and the other to Mahomedan learning. The degree of instruction possessed by those who have not received a learned education, and who are engaged in the business of teaching with attainments superior to a mere knowledge of reading and writing, will be estimated from the account that has been given of the Bengali, Hindi, and Persian schools which they conduct. The next class composed of those who have neither received a learned education nor are engaged in the business of teaching, but who possess attainments superior to a mere knowledge of reading and writing, includes

Rh various degrees of instruction, but it was not easy to discriminate between them, and no attempt to do so was made in the districts of Moorshedabad, Beerbhoom, and Burdwan. In the city of Moorshedabad and in the districts of South Behar and Tirhoot such an attempt was made, and the result appears in the account given of the state of adult instruction in that city and in the Jehanabad and Bhawara thanas of those districts. That result is that beyond mere reading and writing, the instruction of the middle classes of native society extends first and principally to Bengali or Hindi accounts, next and to a much less extent to the Persian language, and lastly in a very limited degree to the English language. I met with only one person belonging to this class who devoted any portion of his attention to the cultivation of literature. His name is Kaliprasad Mukhopadhyaya the sherishtadar of the Magistrate of Beerbhoom. He is the author of a work in Bengali called Rasik Ranjan, describing the loves and adventures of Jaya and Jayanti. It is part in prose and part in verse, and contains about 380 pages. A copy is in my possession. The two remaining classes are sufficiently described by the designations already given to them as those who can merely read and write, and those who can merely decipher writing or sign their names. Nine women are found to belong to these two classes in the city of Moorshedabad and in thana Daulatbazar of the Moorshedabad district. In all the other localities of which a census was taken no adult females were found to possess even the lowest grade of instruction.

Third.—A knowledge of the number of instructed adults and of the nature and extent of the instruction they possess furnishes the means of estimating the amount of instrumentality existing in native society which, in a greater or less measure, may be made available for the improvement and extension of popular education. The following table has been constructed with a view to such an estimate:—

242 The first column exhibits the number of Bengali or Hindi and Persian teachers in the localities where a census of the population was taken; the second, the number of their scholars; and the third, the average number of scholars to each teacher. From these, it appears that the existing bodies of teachers in those localities are not sufficiently employed, and that the same number of teachers could instruct a much larger number of scholars. The highest average number of scholars to one teacher is in the Culna thana of the Burdwan district; and if the other averages were raised only as high, a large addition would be made to the instructed children of the teachable age without any other instrumentality than that which is now engaged in the business of teaching.

The fourth column contains the number of those adults who have neither received a learned education nor are engaged in the business of teaching but who possess attainments superior to a mere knowledge of reading and writing, constituting the most cultivated portion of the middle class of native society from which instruments must chiefly be drawn for the improvement of that class and of the classes below it. The fifth column exhibits from the table contained in page 110 the number of children of the teachable age, i. e., between 14 and five years, who receive neither domestic nor school instruction, constituting the class which needs the instruction that the preceding class is qualified to bestow. The sixth column shows the average number of children of the teachable age without instruction to each of the instructed adults capable of but not actually engaged in teaching, showing that if the whole number of uninstructed children were distributed among the instructed adults for the purpose of being taught, the number of the latter, particularly in the city of Moorshedabad and in the Culna thana of the Burdwan district, would be far more than sufficient to teach them all. This is on the supposition that the entire number of instructed adults could be spared from the other purposes of civil life to be employed solely in the business of teaching, but this supposition is as unnecessary as it is inadmissible, since especially in the two localities mentioned it is obvious that there would be a large surplus of instrumentality for the object required. The only locality of those enumerated in which there would apparently be no such surplus is the Bhawara thana of the Tirboot district where the number of instructed adults would, in the present state of things, even if they did nothing else, be barely sufficient to teach the children who are destitute of instruction.

According to these views the teachers of common schools, and those who in native society possess analogous qualifications, are the classes from which instruments must chiefly be drawn to promote general education, but these classes in their present state

43 Mr. Alexander. And—and, you know, I just always—I always had, you know, rotating different helpers or aides with me. And so, you know, I couldn't—if I speculated on a name, it would be just pure speculation.

 * BY :

So earlier you mentioned that when the President speaks, it's on, like, their own schedule. I'm paraphrasing. Like you can't control when the President speaks. Is that—am I capturing that properly?

Yes. Or when he stops.

Right. So did you leave The Ellipse before President Trump had finished speaking?

Yes. And that's, you know, been widely captured by media and attested to by myself.

And why did you leave before President Trump finished his speech?

We left The Ellipse early because we were requested to by Ms. Wren and her aide—and/or her aide. And it was a whole process that we were aware could happen, and so it was happening. And I don't know if the process took 5 minutes or 15 minutes, because there's a lot of back and forth. The President's speaking. I'm sitting. We got 200 media behind us. How do you get up while the President's talking in a discreet way? And the answer is you can't.

And, so, we were requested that, because people were leaving the overflow, that there probably should be some leadership toward the Capitol, and that Alex Jones and myself should be the people to help to, you know, lead that overflow crowd that was just starting to leave.

And this was communicated to you from Ms. Wren?

Or her aide.

Page:CTRL0000034607 - Deposition of Ali Alexander, (Dec. 9, 2021).pdf/44

44 Or her aide. Okay.

And do you know who Ms. Wren or her aide was receiving this request from?

No, not specifically, no.

Did Ms. Wren escort you out of The Ellipse?

She was part of—she was a part of—she was a part of the people who walked me and Alex Jones and whoever else we had with us out a special entrance, yeah, exit.

And when you left the special exit, where were you heading?

Well, we needed to regroup. So we actually stopped for 5 minutes to regroup.

Where did you stop?

We stopped right outside where we were let out at the fence. And then we—we—I think, some of Alex's cameramen met us, you know. So they had ran out the exit and ran around and met us, or something like that. And they were there to film us, and I'm actually very grateful that all of my actions were filmed so that my attention to nonviolence and to actually participate in deescalation was chronicled.

But we ended up stopping again at the Freedom Plaza type of area, and Alex gave an impromptu speech. And the goal of this was to have people, you know, what they call in media a B-roll shot, you know, walking behind him. And so—and I was using his security. So there I am, you know, stuck in the security bubble.

Just going back really quickly, do you know who Ms. Wren's aide was?

I don't recall her name. She was a very nice person.

Okay. So it was a woman. That's what you recall?

Yes.

Okay. And you said that Mr. Jones stopped and gave an impromptu

45 speech. Where was the speech given?

At Freedom Plaza, at the corner of, you know, what we refer to as Freedom Plaza.

 * BY :

Did the Secret Service ever tell you before you left The Ellipse anything about you walking to the Capitol?

I've already testified that I don't recall any verbal communications with the Secret Service.

With yourself. Did you hear them tell anyone else you were with or communicate with them, like Mr. Jones, about the march to the Capitol?

Well, walked over to the Capitol. Did I overhear Secret Service talking? No. I mean, they're professionals. I don't hear their conversations.

You just used the word "walked" to the Capitol instead of "march." Is there a difference between those two words in your mind?

I think I—you know, sometimes there is and sometimes there isn't. And I'm not assuming anything in what you're saying, but I definitely want to clarify what I intend. And, so, in the event space there can be. But in the colloquial space, no, there is no difference.

Okay. And on the website that your organization put up, it said, "March to the Capitol after The Ellipse event," right?

Yeah.

Okay. Yeah is yes?

I think so.

Yes. And so to your knowledge, based on what you observed on January 6th at The Ellipse, did you ever see Secret Service communicate with anyone in

Rh must not be deemed to represent the permanent amount of intellectual and moral instrumentality. For, first, the influences now acting upon native society have a tendency to raise the qualifications of those two classes. The very lowest and most degraded and hitherto wholly uninstructed classes have begun, as has been shown, to move upward into the class receiving the instruction of common schools. This will have the double effect of stimulating the class immediately above them to rise still higher in the scale of acquirement, and with the increased demand for instruction of increasing the emoluments of teachers, and thereby inducing more competent persons to engage in the business of teaching. Even, therefore, if the number of teachers and taught, instructed and uninstructed, should maintain the same proportions, still there will be an increased amount of moral means in the higher range of qualifications which those classes are now acquiring.

But, second, by the very supposition, the same influences that are carrying the instructed classes forward in the race of improvement will also increase the number of the individuals composing them and their proportion to the uninstructed classes. This conclusion does not rest upon questionable grounds. It has been shown that the proportion of juvenile instruction is uniformly higher and in some of the localities much higher than the proportion of adult instruction, and it follows that, when the present generation of learners shall become of mature age, the proportion of adult instruction will be found much higher and consequently the amount of moral instrumentality existing in society greater than it now is. Every individual who passes from the class of the uninstructed to that of the instructed both lessens the proportion of the former and increases that of the latter—both lessens the number to be instructed and increases the number of those who may be employed for the instruction of that lesser number. And the probabilities are great that a large number both of those who belong to the instructed class and of those who pass from the inferior to the higher grades of instruction would, with very little encouragement, be induced to engage in the instruction of others, for in proceeding from one district or from one part of a district to another, next to the general poverty and ignorance, few facts strike the mind more forcibly than the number of those who, with attainments superior to a mere knowledge of reading and writing, are in search of employment and without any regular means of subsistence.

Again, third, it is not only from below, from the uninstructed classes or from those who possess at present the inferior grades of instruction but from above also, from the classes of the learned, that additional instruments will be obtained for the extension of popular education. There can be no doubt that the habits

46 your group about your movement from The Ellipse to the Capitol?

Secret Service escorted us out. And so, you know, you know, I don't want to get in word games. But, you know, there was, you know, there was a decision made. It had to go this way. The reason why I said I don't know why whether it took 5 minutes or 15 minutes for Alex Jones and myself to decide when to leave is because what I was told was happening is we were basically negotiating how many people could exit, you know, with Secret Service. And so, you know, that conversation was handled on the Trump world side.

So that's about the logistics of exiting The Ellipse?

Yes.

Okay. Did you understand there to be any communication to you about the President's intention after he was done with his speech coming from either the President or Secret Service?

The—

The President.

The President's intention?

Correct. About whether to walk to the Capitol at that time.

You'd have—you'd have to ask him.

So did you know anything at that time about whether he would be coming with you or coming up to the Capitol later?

I'm not privy to any of the internal conversations that Trump had with Secret Service.

This is actually a perfect segue. Can you go to page 170 on exhibit 26? And it's page 170. And this goes to point about whether President Trump

244  and prejudices of the learned make them, if not hostile, certainly indifferent, in most instances, to the spread of education among the body of the people, but with gentle and prudent handling those habits and prejudices may be easily modified. I have met with individuals among the learned who, from benevolent motives, appeared anxious to do every thing in their power to promote the instruction of their countrymen, and with numerous individuals who evidently wanted no other motive than their own interest to make them willing agents in the same undertaking. These individuals were found in that class of the learned which is engaged in the business of teaching; and those of the learned who do not teach are in general so poor that I can have little doubt most of them would readily co-operate in any measures in which their assistance should be made advantageous to themselves. We have no right to expect that men in the gripe of poverty will appreciate the advantages to society and to Government which dictate to us the duty of promoting general education. They must perceive and feel that their own individual interests are promoted, and then their aid will not be withheld.

The state of crime viewed in connection with the state of instruction is a subject of great interest, but it is one on which all the means necessary to form a sound judgment have not yet been obtained. The records of crime have not been framed with a view to derive from them data to determine the effects of instruction, and what I attempt under this head is rather to point to the importance of this branch, of the inquiry than to found conclusions on the facts which I have collected, although at the same time it will be seen that the conclusions which those facts suggest and support are not unimportant. I have been favoured with permission to examine the half-yearly returns made to Government in the Judicial Department relating to crime in the localities of which an educational survey has been made, and from that source I subjoin the following abstract statement of crimes ascertained by the Police Officers or otherwise to have been committed within the city and district of Moorshedabad, and the districts of Beerbhoom,

47 was going to march to the Capitol.

At 12:19 p.m. you ask Ms. Wren—so I'm assuming this is after you've left The Ellipse—if POTUS is walking and for her to give you an update every 5 minutes. So at 12:19 p.m. on January 6th, was it your understanding that President Trump was going to come to the Capitol?

One, I really appreciate you pointing out this text. This is helpful. It's also helpful that I use the word "walking," and you characterized it as marching before you read out the quote.

And my understanding is informed by a lot of things, you know, my race, my faith, my profession. And professionally, I'm sorry to bore you guys, but professionally, in my interactions with observing Secret Service over the years, observing Democrat nominees and Republican nominees and Presidents is, something like that's just not allowed to happen.

But I do know that we live in interesting times. And if it were to happen, I would like an advance notice. And, again, I'm sorry. I saw the faces, but I'm sorry if my answer is weird. Trying to be helpful.

So based upon this text, you were asking Ms. Wren, because you presume she would know if President Trump was going to walk to the Capitol?

She was physically at The Ellipse, and I wasn't.

All right. So when you left Freedom Plaza, did you start heading straight toward the Capitol complex?

Can I note for the record? Just—well, no I'm sorry. What was your question?

When you left Freedom Plaza with Mr. Jones, did you start heading towards the Capitol complex?

48 We started heading towards Lot 8 where we had a legally permitted event, that direction.

Before arriving at Lot 8 on the Capitol complex, were you aware that individuals had begun to breach the Capitol?

What's the origin?

I'm asking. So as you're walking towards the Capitol complex, were you aware while you're walking that individuals had started to breach the Capitol grounds?

These terms are very specific, and I take this issue very seriously. So I wasn't aware that anyone, and I'm still not aware, that anyone breached the Capitol at that time. I was aware that there was chaos, confusion, and mayhem that I did not like, did not approve of, and that we started in a sprint until Mr. Jones could not keep up and to try to deescalate the situation which is represented by these text message.

Approximately how many people were with you as you were walking to the Capitol?

You know, I don't know. I was concerned my persons. I was concerned about getting there to deescalate. First we were getting news updates. Arizona, Mike Pence this, it was all political. And then first time I see, you know, a struggle between a law enforcement officer and an individual, I was like, okay, I need to get there as a human and stop whatever's happening because this is stupid. And so—so that's my understanding.

So is it fair to say that there was a large crowd of people around you all as you and Mr. Jones were going to the Capitol?

If you could be specific.

Just give me an order of magnitude. Give me an order of magnitude. Was it 100 people? Was it 200 people? Was it two people? How many folks were
