The “Gaspee Affair” of 1772: The First Blow for Freedom – Part 2
- By W.H. Lamb
Last time we discovered a little known (or at least seldom taught) part of American history which revolved around the activities, and fate, of HMS Gaspee, one of King George’s warships (a two-masted 8 gun schooner), which had been used very successfully in 1772 in Narragansett Bay off the coast of Rhode Island, to disrupt what the colonists considered to be “free trade”, but which the British government considered “smuggling”. Again, I’m indebted to two authorities on this subject, The Warwick, Rhode Island ‘Digital History Project’, and Dr. John Concannon, Webmaster of Gaspee Virtual Archives, from both of which I quote freely to tell this tale of what may have been one of the main events that precipitated the War of the Revolution.

Salty Sez – The Fourth Generation
- By Ray Simmons
You Bible scholars probably recognize the title here. I was a bit disturbed about this Scripture until recently. I just couldn’t see God punishing children for their fathers’ sins, nor punishing the fathers for their children’s sins. If you are familiar with Exodus 20 15:5 “Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,” (ASV). The bow down nor serve them refers to other gods being worshiped; money, sports, cars, celebrities, houses, you name it. (Also see Numbers 14:18) I recently heard a sermon on this topic, my following comments are what I brought away from that sermon:
The first generation is a generation strongly seeking and loving God, but gradually moving away from Him and His Word. The second generation follows the first and continues to move away. The third generation follows the second and moves even further away. When the fourth generation arrives and continues the process they reach the point that God will no longer sustain and bless them. I think I am old enough to have arrived in that first generation. I have watched our process as we removed God from our schools, from our government and from many of our churches. I think we are likely in the fourth generation. The many problems we are seeing in our nation these days may just be God telling us we had better turn back to Him, man’s wisdom is insufficient and will not preserve our blessings.

The Dark Question behind the Wuhan Virus
- By Mike Scruggs
Was Covid-19 Accidental or Biological Warfare?
On January 31, President Trump declared the Covid-19 coronavirus a U.S. public health emergency and issued a ban on travel between the United States and China. Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden, speaking at an Iowa campaign event, severely criticized Trump’s action, calling it “hysteria and xenophobia.” It quickly became evident that the coronavirus was extraordinarily contagious and potentially deadly. A special problem has been that its spread is often asymptomatic. In the greatest and quickest successful cooperative national mobilization of government, industry, commerce, science, and medicine since World War II, the Trump Administration, made sure every logistical need to fight the virus was available. After several months experience and data, the virus turned out to be deadly primarily to those who already have other health problems or weakened immune systems, which are most common among older people. Further actions to limit the spread of the virus by shutting down schools and portions of the economy were devastating to the economy, but lifting these restrictions now has the economy roaring back.

The “Gaspee Affair” of 1772: Part 1 – Prelude to Revolution
- By W.H. Lamb
We’ve all heard the almost immortal words: “Taxation without representation is tyranny”; most of us have been taught that these were the fighting words that ignited our War of the Revolution on April 19, 1775. As much as I dislike throwing “cold water” on such a venerable link in the chain of American history, I must conclude that “taxation”, with or without “representation”, was NOT the original motivator of our British American ancestors, as they existed uneasily with the might of “Mother England” and pondered their relationship with their parent country.

Marxism from the Schoolhouse to Your House
- By Frank Raddish - Founder/Director Capitol Hill Independent Baptist Ministries
In early America, the educational system was a great blessing to our country. One of the reasons was that the Bible was the center of education for reading, writing, spelling, and memorization. The principles of the Bible build respect, obedience, and character in American school children. On September 20, 1789, there was an article published in the Palladium magazine in which Congressman Fisher Ames said, "We have a dangerous trend beginning to take place in our education. We're starting put more and more textbooks in our schools….We've become accustomed of late of putting little books into the hands of children containing fables and moral lessons….We are spending less time in the classroom on the Bible, which should be the principle text in our schools…." Also, Fisher stated, "Should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a schoolbook?"

SALTY SEZ: How Do You Spell U.N.
- By Ray Simmons
I seldom hear anybody talking about the United Nations (UN) these days. I guess that’s just one of those things people don’t think ‘bout any more, but we ought to. It didn’t go nowhere—it’s still there, and we are still its major supporter. Lots of stuff them democrats still talking about comes from there. That old “New World Order” got born there. We’re living in the year 2020 and I bet most of you don’t recall a “Project 2020” that was being discussed all around in 1999 and 2000. It outlined bunches of plans to be worked out and completed by year 2020. There was an article back then (June 1999) by Jane Chastain for “World Net Daily” titled “The U. N. In Your Backyard.” Its first paragraph said this: “Don't look now, but the United Nations has its sights on your back yard. No longer content to regulate our population, automobiles, air, water and parks, the global Gestapo now wants to regulate that little plot of earth covered by the grass you mow and the trees that shade your lawn chairs.” That was just one thing they was talking about back then to control how much greenhouse gas was being produced—now we call that part of climate control. The UN also has an agreement in our Congress that if approved might let the government take our guns. There’s lots of things they’ve been working on that democrats will approve if they win this election, and that’s no scuttlebutt.

Salty Sez: THE LIE
- By Ray Simmons
A few years back I was visiting some friends in Houston, Texas. My visit ran over the weekend and I got invited to go to church with them. It was a strong Christian church and I said I’d go. This was in the midst of Obama’s Administration and the Pastor didn’t mind talking about some of the political craziness going on. I know Obama said he was a Christian, but he seemed more like a Muslim to me. I don’t remember the Pastor putting a title on his sermon but I’d call it “The Lie”. Many times he said American people are believing the lies they are being told -- and some of those lies are coming from the church pastors. We know these lies have been coming at us many years because a lot of preachers don’t want to talk politics. Much of what Jesus talked about when He was here we would call political today. We need to know what’s going on and pastors need to be helping us recognize the lies. In the early days of our nation churches were where much of the news came from. We’re just poor-little-sheep out here and the wolves are everywhere around us—and most of those politicians are part of the wolf-pack.
