(See what is projected on) Old North Church in Boston ...... on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride.



Brian Kane:

Old North Church in Boston last night on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride.

Let the warning ride forth once more: Tyranny is at our door.

Spent many years in the land of Revere, Garrison (1) and Thoreau.

Passed by Old Ironsides and spent a short time at the Coast Guard Base.

Leaves a definite impression.


(1) From Wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lloyd_Garrison

Garrison promoted "no-governmentism", also known as "anarchism", and rejected the inherent validity of the American government on the basis that its engagement in war, imperialism, and slavery made it corrupt and tyrannical. His belief in individual sovereignty, and critique of coercive authority have been recognized as a precursor to certain strands of modern libertarian thought. He initially opposed violence as a principle and advocated for Christian pacifism against evil; however, at the outbreak of the American Civil War, he recognized the necessity of armed struggle as a means to achieve the abolition of slavery and supported the Lincoln administration’s efforts to end the institution. He was one of the founders of the American Anti-Slavery Society and promoted immediate and uncompensated, as opposed to gradual and compensated, emancipation of slaves in the United States.
