It seems, at first sight, as if all the minds of the Americans were formed upon one model, so accurately do they correspond in their manner of judging. A stranger does, indeed, sometimes meet with Americans who dissent from these rigorous formularies; with men who deplore the defects of the laws, the mutability and the ignorance of democracy; who even go so far as to observe the evil tendencies which impair the national character, and to point out such remedies as it might be possible to apply; but no one is there to hear these things besides yourself, and you, to whom these secret reflections are confided, are a stranger and a bird of passage.

====Howard Zinn====


Zinn quotes Kissinger in his first chapter, on page 9: ""History is the memory of states," wrote Henry Kissinger in his first book, A World Restored, in which he proceeded to tell the history of nineteenth-century Europe from the viewpoint of the leaders of Austria and England, ignoring the millions who suffered from those statesmen's policies. From his standpoint, the "peace" that Europe had before the French Revolution was "restored" by the diplomacy of a few national leaders. But for factory workers in England, farmers in France, colored people in Asia and Africa, women and children everywhere, except in the upper classes, it was a world of conquest, violence, hunger, exploitation -- a world not restored but disintegrated."

:''As one of Zinn's book titles states: "You Can't Be Neutral On a Moving Train"
Howard Zinn is an author best known for the book, "A People's History of the United States".
{|class=wikitable

In World War 2, a passing conversation with an warplane gunner changed Howard Zinn's life forever. Zinn argued that America was not imperialist and went away troubled with what this stranger said. Two weeks later this warplane gunner was shot down and killed. Decades later Zinn became an anti-war activist and author of the seminal "A People's History of the United States" This bombardier never truly knew the last legacy of love and peace he created in this world.
Just and Unjust War excerpt:
[Zinn] flew the last bombing missions of the war, got my Air Medal and my battle stars. I was quietly proud of my participation in the great war to defeat fascism. But when I packed up my things at the end of the war and put my old navigation logs and snapshots and other mementos in a folder, I marked that folder, almost without thinking, "Never Again."
I'm still not sure why I did that, because it was not until years later that I began consciously to question the motives, the conduct, and the consequences of that crusade against fascism. The point was not that my abhorrence of fascism was in any way diminished. I still believed something had to be done to stop fascism. But that clear certainty of moral rightness that propelled me into the Air Force as an enthusiastic bombardier was now clouded over by many thoughts.
Perhaps my conversations with that gunner on the other crew, the one who loaned me The Yogi and the Commisar, gave me the first flickers of doubt. He spoke of the war as "an imperialist war," fought on both sides for national power. Britain and the United States opposed fascism only because it threatened their own control over resources and people. Yes, Hitler was a maniacal dictator and invader of other countries. But what of the British Empire and its long history of wars against native peoples to subdue them for the profit and glory of the empire? And the Soviet Union--was it not also a brutal dictatorship, concerned not with the working classes of the world but with its own national power?
I was puzzled. "Why," I asked my friend, "are you flying missions, risking your life, in a war you don't believe in?" His answer astonished me. "I'm here to speak to people like you."
I found out later he was a member of the Socialist Workers party; they opposed the war but believed that instead of evading military service they should enter it and propagandize against the war every moment they could. I couldn't understand this, but I was impressed by it. Two weeks after that conversation with him, he was killed on a mission over Germany.    https://quaker.org/legacy/co/Writings

[[File:kazan spy school red sparrow fsb letter WhatsApp Image 2020-03-10 at 11.16.59 andri.jpeg|300px|thumb| Letter to  that I turned into the Kazan FSB]]
{{-}}
On  March 10, 2020 I visited the Kazan FSB. This was the only trip I had ever taken out of Moscow in ~3.5 years.
My hobbies and bucket list involves several former unique places, including KGB sites such as the [[KGB Spy town]].  On 6-10 of March I visited Kazan to find the '''Kazan Tatarstan Sexpionage School'''. The inspiration for the movie of '''Red Sparrow''', former CIA agent Jason Matthews, said that  this school was there.  This author helped me over Facebook.
I visited the Mormon church on my first day in Kazan, ask about the sex spy school, found some leads and hired an investigator named Andri +7-986-710-88-12 who worked with one of my translators, Anna  over the phone.
;FSB Kazan
On Tuesday (Monday was a holiday) , I was at a dead end. I had met many people who said they had family members and friends who were KGB, and I had to go back home the next morning.  The historical archives that Andri and I visited initially said to go to the FSB to request the documents.  So I went with Andri to the FSB.  The guard said we had to write a request, so I had my translator write up a request, which Andri wrote.  We returned to the FSB.  We were met with a middle aged woman who said she would look into it. And I would receive a response in 1 month.
I knew this was a dead end.  I never received a response.

Вышеупомянутая школа была изображена в фильме «Красный Воробей». В ней готовили агентов КГБ и обучали их различным техникам соблазнения для изъятия информации. Меня интересует, является ли сейчас история данной советской школы государственной тайной.

The Industrial Military Complex is  an informal alliance between a nation's military and the defense industry that supplies it, which influences public policy
The term was coined in the farewell address of President Dwight D. Eisenhower on January 17, 1961, who stated, "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex."
In one draft of the speech, the phrase was "military–industrial–congressional complex", indicating the essential role that the United States Congress plays in the propagation of the military industry, but the word "congressional" was dropped from the final version to appease the then-currently elected officials.

Occam's Razor is a line of reasoning that says the simplest answer is often correct.

I am 90% certain that I have been propositioned by two stunningly gorgeous '''honeypots''' on at least two occasions, and a low level prostitute in my old apartment for a third (Occum’s razor says that I am being foolish – but this is one case where I am almost positive).

==== Gary Webb - the CIA covered up Contra drug trafficking ====
:''When you mentioned the heroin poppy seeds in Afghanistan, I mentioned Gary Webb in passing.''
::Webb is best known for his "Dark Alliance" series, which appeared in The Mercury News in 1996. The series examined the origins of the crack cocaine trade in Los Angeles and claimed that members of the anti-communist Contra rebels in Nicaragua had played a major role in creating the trade, using cocaine profits to support their struggle. It also suggested that the Contras may have acted with the knowledge and protection of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).  Later journalists found that Webb's reporting showed that "The CIA conducted an internal investigation that acknowledged in March 1998 that the agency had covered up Contra drug trafficking for more than a decade."
:: Webb committed suicide in 2004 with '''two''' gunshot wounds to the head.

====perfect is the enemy of good====
What does "perfect is the enemy of good" mean?
Since you can never achieve perfection, if you wait to be perfect before you do anything, nothing will ever get done.
The Pareto principle or 80–20 rule explains this numerically. For example, it commonly takes 20% of the full time to complete 80% of a task while to complete the last 20% of a task takes 80% of the effort.
====Peace Corps only taught 3 months of language training====
Lee Harvey Oswald, who later killed President John F. Kennedy, lived in Belarus for 3 years.  He only had one month of language training before it was mysteriously ended:
:Oswald's tutoring began soon after Oswald arrived at the Experimental Department...Libezin was unconcerned: most important, he said, was that Oswald acquire some basic facility in the language...[they]  met for one month, and then it was decided that the American now spoke Russian. Shushkevich told me he did not know who had made this decision...Shushkevich suspected it had come from someone higher up who did not work at the factory, and he said he had no idea how that person had determined that Oswald had made any progress—there were no tests, and he never filed any reports with Libezin or anyone else—but he wasn’t sure that was important. All he knew for sure was that one day, unexpectedly, his social work came to an end.

==== American Civil Religion  ====
* American civil religion is a term coined by sociologist Robert Bellah in 1967.  According to Bellah, Americans embrace a common "civil religion" with certain fundamental beliefs, values, holidays, and rituals, parallel to, or independent of, their chosen religion.

=== Blowback===
The 9/11 attacks were Blowback for American's actions in the Middle East.
Definition:  “Blowback” is a CIA term first used in March 1954 in a recently declassified report on the 1953 operation to overthrow the government of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran. It is a metaphor for the unintended consequences of the US government’s international activities that have been kept secret from the American people. The CIA’s fears that there might ultimately be some blowback from its egregious interference in the affairs of Iran were well founded. Installing the Shah in power brought twenty-five years of tyranny and repression to the Iranian people and elicited the Ayatollah Khomeini’s revolution.

==== How dissenting voices are silenced in America ====
"In our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either."  --Mark Twain
----
;The Spiral of Silence
...By Sociologist Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann
👑 People who see that the dominant social attitudes contradict their own position, “fall silent”, to avoid expressing their point of view, because they are afraid to be in the minority.<br>
👑 The more prevalent the prevailing point of view seems to them, the more they “fall silent”.
----
The '''Overton window''', also known as the window of discourse, is the range of ideas tolerated in public discourse.
----
The best book on how dissenting voices are silenced on a macro level is '''Manufacturing Dissent''' by '''Noam Chomsky''':
*  Rather than needing direct control over the media as in dictatorships, industrial democracies control popular opinion using "filters" which prevent politically controversial ideas from reaching the public. Here are three of the five filters:
** the concentration of media ownership to a few corporations,
** the need to please advertisers and funding sources,
** the reliance on government-provided sources, <br>...These influences combine to prevent politically inconvenient knowledge and ideas from reaching the general public.
*Chomsky discusses '''Walter Lippmann''' author of 1922's Public Opinion.  Shortly after it was published, John Dewey called Lippmann’s book “the most effective indictment of democracy as currently conceived.”
====American Sniper: There are 3 types of people in this world "Sheep, Wolves and Sheep Dogs====
<youtube>Ar1WygVl_Vg</youtube>
* Youtube video clip of "American Sniper"
**'The irony is this man who is portrayed in the movie, Chris Kyle was an American Sniper in Iraq and later died in a bar fight''
**I see myself as an aspiring "sheep dog"
* America economically benefits from misery, death and destruction for generations (Indian genocide, Slavery) ...and only generations later contritely apologies about these horrors which built the country.  History will not be kind to the United States.  There will someday be a reconciliation of what the United States did.

[[File:the interloper oswald.jpg|300px|right]]
:On March 16, two months after he started at the Experimental Department, Oswald was moved from the Hotel Minsk to Apartment 24 at 4 Kalinina Ulitsa, about twenty minutes by foot, or two tram stops, from the hotel. The building was in the center of the city, and it had been designed in the monumental Stalinist style: looming archways, thick columns, oversized windows. It was meant to feel powerful, domineering, even regal. If Oswald walked out of his building and turned right, and then right again, through the narrow driveway, beneath the yellow archway, he would be standing on Kalinina Ulitsa. If he turned left on Kalinina Ulitsa and walked for a minute or two, he would be at Victory Square, which was a traffic circle with an obelisk and eternal flame dedicated to the unknown soldier. If, instead of going to Victory Square, he turned right on Kalinina Ulitsa, he would soon arrive at the military headquarters, shrouded in trees. If he went a little farther, through an oblong patch of forest and up a small hill, he would be at the opera house. Just opposite his window, on the other side of Kalinina Ulitsa and down a short slope, was the river.26 Oswald called the apartment on Kalinina Ulitsa “a Russians dream.” Apartment 24, at entrance No. 2, encompassed 266 square feet, and it had three rooms: a kitchen, a bathroom with a toilet, and a bedroom-cum-living room. There was also a balcony; a vestibule; a small, built-in wardrobe; and views of the river and opera house. The interior walls, which were made of wood and plaster, were just shy of six inches thick, but the exterior walls, which were brick, were a little more than twenty inches in thickness, which meant it was usually quiet inside the apartment. His neighbors rarely heard him, and he seemed oblivious of them.27
:It is unlikely that Oswald realized he was living in what amounted to a village inside a city. He had been strategically situated within a five- to ten-minute walk of most everywhere he needed to go —the factory, the grocery store, friends, associates, the opera house, the movie theater, the river, the park, and the Foreign Language Institute, where, according to Titovets, there were women who spoke English, listened to jazz, and were more “adventurous.” This was clearly illustrated in a 1964 CIA report on Oswald’s Soviet period. The report includes a simple street plan of the center of Minsk that shows Oswald’s apartment building and other locations that played a role in his everyday life, including the house where his coworker and one-time love interest Ella German lived (just opposite the river); the building where his future wife, Marina Prusakova, lived with her aunt and uncle (three and a half blocks away); the building where the engineer Alexander Ziger, who became friendly with Oswald and served as something of a father figure, lived with his family (on Krasnaya Ulitsa); and the Palace of Culture of the Council of Trade Unions, where he met Marina Prusakova (on the other side of the river, at October Square). It was as if the KGB had constructed a little world just for him.29
:In fact, said Oleg Nechiporenko, that was common KGB practice. Nechiporenko, the KGB officer who briefly handled Oswald’s case when he turned up at the Soviet embassy in Mexico City in the fall of 1963, said the KGB had a name for this sort of “village in a city.” They called it a kolpak, which means “cover,” “dome,” or “shroud.” They would say that someone was in a kolpak or biyt pod kolpakom. This meant one was “being under the cover” of the security organs. To make things more convenient, Apartment 24 was on the fourth floor—above the tree line—and it faced the river. From the opposite bank of the Svisloch, the people strolling on the embankment could see the balcony, and, with binoculars, they could certainly get a good look inside through the windows of his bedroom and kitchen, and down the darkened corridor to the vestibule, filled with a bland, yellow light. It was as if his entire life had been reorganized so that other people could watch it.30
:The kolpak accomplished two things: it made it easier for the authorities to watch him, and, more importantly, it put him at ease, which, in turn, made it still easier to watch him. It made him believe he was in a place where he was known and even understood. Here, in this little, invisible village in the middle of Minsk, there were people who worked in the same factory he worked in, spoke the same language he spoke, and liked the same composers he liked. In the coming months, they would go to the movies with him and invite him over for dinner. This feeling of connectivity would have been reinforced daily. Every time he was on the street or at an intersection or on Victory Square, he could expect to run into someone he knew, a friendly acquaintance who would wave and even smile, reminding him that he was somewhere where he could be himself. This was something that Oswald had never had—a sense of belonging. In this way, the security organs anticipated better than Oswald did what he needed. By planting him in this mesh of seemingly thick relations, they oriented and settled him. They made him think that he could do whatever he wanted because he was home now.31
:It wasn’t just atmospherics. There was also, most everyone agrees, extensive monitoring of Oswald. This monitoring almost certainly included listening devices, secret police whose job it was to watch him, and a sprawling network of informants who were recruited by the security organs after he arrived. In fact, nearly everyone who worked with Oswald in Minsk said the same two things over and over: they had never informed on him, and most everyone else had. They didn’t like to talk about these things, even fifty years later. But they knew about it. Or, it would be more correct to say, they intuited it. For one thing, Oswald had many bosses—Libezin, Lavshuk, Leonid Botvinik—and each of them seemed to answer to someone else whom no one knew.

==The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade==
In 1787, approximately three quarters of the people on Earth lived under some form of enslavement, serfdom, debt bondage or indentured servitude.  There were no slaves in Britain itself, but the vast majority of its people accepted slavery in the British West Indies as perfectly normal.
The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade was a British abolitionist group, formed on 22 May 1787, by twelve men who gathered together at a printing shop in London, England.  Within their lifetimes they saw slavery be abolished in Britain. (NOTE:  The Society achieved abolition of the international slave trade in 1807, enforced by the British Navy. The United States also prohibited the African slave trade that year, to take effect in 1808. Within their lifetimes these twelve men abolished slavery.
It later was superseded by development of the Anti-Slavery Society in 1823, which worked to abolish the institution of slavery throughout the British colonies.  Abolition was passed by parliament in 1833 with emancipation completed by 1838.
1833-1787 = 46 years)
; A Call to Action
''This effort can be repeated today with American Foreign Policy. This can be done by actively positively encouraging our leaders to instead invest the money into our communities. Start with your congressional district today. Ask your leader to support peace, and tell them if they continue to vote for war you will reluctantly start a guerrilla marking campaign to alert the public that this congressman is someone who does not support bringing our war dollars home to your community.''
==The Idea That Brought Slavery to Its Knees==
[[File:anti slavery abolishment.jpg|320px|thumb|Insignia of the later British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society|right]]
;2 George Yard, London, England
The reverberations from what happened on this spot, on the late afternoon of May 22, 1787, eventually caught the attention of millions of people around the world, including the first and greatest student of what today we call civil society. The result of the series of events begun that afternoon in London, wrote France. Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville decades later, was "absolutely without precedent...If you pore over the histories of all peoples, I doubt that you will find anything more extraordinary."
The building that once stood at 2 George Yard was a bookstore and printing shop. The proprietor was James Phillips, publisher and printer for Britain's small community of Quakers. On that May afternoon, after the pressmen and typesetters had gone home for the day, 12 men filed through his doors. They formed themselves into a committee with what seemed to their fellow Londoners a hopelessly idealistic and impractical aim: ending first the slave trade and then slavery itself in the most powerful empire on Earth."

|  style="padding:20px;"  |  There are a million reasons to stay in America, but only one reason to leave:
<u>Internationally, the United States is the most violent country in the world.</u>
My career ambitions are two pronged in 2020. First, I either will work for a Russian think tank such as the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS) in consulting or writing policy papers on how Russia can subvert the United States economically. Alternatively we will create our own state-sanctioned Russian think tank to abolish copyright in Russia among other activities. 
I anchor much of what I seek to accomplish in the inspiring turn of events of May 1787, in which only twelve London men formed the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade and abolished slavery in the British Empire worldwide within one generation. As the late anthropologist Margaret Mead states, ''Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has''. Today, war can be abolished the same way that slavery was two hundred years ago. 
This firm belief in peace is based on a long history of living abroad. I was living in Odessa, Ukraine in the Peace Corps when the terrorists hit the World Trade Center. I had an Arab friend from Dubai who was the kindest, most honorable, most incredible man I have ever met in my entire life.  A couple of days after 9/11, I was walking on the warm promenade of the port city of Odessa with Jaz.  In a low tone that was so foreign, he said, "If they [Americans] come to my country, I will kill them". I was shocked, how could the gentlest man I ever met hate America so much?   
That question haunted me even after I returned to America.  After the Peace Corps, I earned a Juris Doctorate concurrent with a Masters in International Relations. In law school I wrote what would later become my second published book "<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.amazon.com/Americas-Other-War-Terrorizing-Colombia/dp/3659929875 America’s Other War, Terrorizing Colombia]" which was published in 2017.  To answer why my gentle Arab friend hated America,  I wrote a SPSS white paper called, “[http://moscowamerican.com/index.php/Origins_of_Anti-Americanism_A_Framework_for_Analysis Why do They Hate Us?

Proclaiming Your Dream: Developing Vision and Mission Statements]<br><br>Your vision is your dream. It's what your organization believes are the ideal conditions for your community; that is, how things would look if the issue important to you were completely, perfectly addressed.

==Mission==
{{under construction}}
To create a peaceful world by pressuring local United States representatives in Congress to vote for peace or lose  in the next election. 
(Note: [https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/structure/strategic-planning/vision-mission-statements/main Section 2. Proclaiming Your Dream: Developing Vision and Mission Statements]<br><br>Mission statements are similar to vision statements, in that they, too, look at the big picture. However, they're more concrete, and they are definitely more "action-oriented" than vision statements. Your vision statement should inspire people to dream; your mission statement should inspire them to action.<br><br>The mission statement might refer to a problem, such as an inadequate housing, or a goal, such as providing access to health care for everyone. And, while they don 't go into a lot of detail, they start to hint - very broadly - at how your organization might fix these problems or reach these goals. )
==Objectives==
Internationally, the United States is the most violent country in the world. 
The goal of May 1787 Political Action Committee is to change American foreign policy for the purpose of:
*  Investing more money domestically instead of internationally. 
*  [Stop terrorism blowback]
Our goal is to put extreme pressure on targeted Congressmen to vote for Peace or lose in their next election. Using the National Rifle Association as a guide, we will support pro-peace candidates, '''regardless of their party affiliation'''.
==Strategies==
==Action Plans==
==Quotes==
* Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed or "disappeared", at the hands of governments or armed political groups. More often than not, the United States shares the blame. — Amnesty International. 1996.
* ... A "conservative estimate is (that the United States has killed) at least 6 million civilians and soldiers (since the end of World War 2)." — [https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/why-do-we-ignore-the-civilians-killed-in-american-wars/2011/12/05/gIQALCO4eP_story.html The Washington Post].

The '''Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade''', also known as the '''Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade''', and sometimes referred to as the '''Abolition Society''' or '''Anti-Slavery Society,''' was a [[Abolitionism in the United Kingdom|British abolitionist]] group formed on 22 May 1787.  Slavery was abolished in all Britain colonies in 1833 as a result.
Historians posit that this anti-slavery movement is the first peaceful social movement which all modern social movements are built upon.
The society was established by twelve men; including prominent campaigners [[Thomas Clarkson]] and [[Granville Sharp]], who, as [[Anglican]]s, were able to be more influential in [[Parliament of Great Britain|Parliament]] than the more numerous [[Quaker]] founding members. The society worked to educate the public about the abuses of the [[slave]] trade, and achieved abolition of the [[international slave trade]]  when the [[British Parliament]] passed the [[Slave Trade Act 1807]], at which time the society ceased its activities. (The United States also prohibited the [[African slave trade]] the same year, to take effect in 1808.)
In 1823 the [[Society for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery Throughout the British Dominions]] (also known as the Anti-Slavery Society) was founded, which worked to abolish the institution of slavery throughout the British colonies. Abolition was passed by parliament in 1833 (except in India, where it was [[slavery in India|part of the indigenous culture]]); with emancipation completed by 1838.
== Historical background  ==
{{Slavery}}
[[1688 Germantown Quaker Petition Against Slavery|The first anti-slavery statement]] was written by Dutch and German [[Quakers]], who met at [[Colonial Germantown Historic District|Germantown]], [[Pennsylvania]] in 1688. English [[Quaker]]s began to express their official disapproval of the [[slave trade]] in 1727 and promote reforms. From the 1750s, a number of Quakers in Britain's [[Thirteen Colonies|American colonies]] also began to oppose slavery, and called on English Quakers to take action with parliament. They encouraged their fellow citizens, including Quaker slave owners, to improve conditions for slaves, educate their slaves in [[Christianity]], reading and writing, and gradually emancipate (free) them.{{cn|date=December 2020}}
An informal group of six Quakers pioneered the British abolitionist movement in 1783 when the London [[Religious Society of Friends|Society of Friends']] yearly meeting presented its petition against the [[Atlantic slave trade|slave trade]] to [[British parliament|Parliament]], signed by over 300 Quakers. They were also influenced by publicity that year about the [[Zong massacre]], as the shipowners were litigating a claim for insurance against losses due to more than 132 slaves having been killed on their ship.{{cn|date=December 2020}}
== Foundation ==
"In 1787, approximately three quarters of the people on Earth lived under some form of enslavement, serfdom, debt bondage or indentured servitude. There were no slaves in Britain itself, but the vast majority of its people accepted slavery in the British West Indies as perfectly normal."
(Note: Adam Hochschild. [https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/abolition/abolitionists_gallery.shtml The Unsung Heroes of Abolition]. )
The Quakers decided to form a small, committed, non-denominational group so as to gain greater [[Church of England]] and Parliamentary support. The new, non-denominational committee formed in 1787 had nine [[Religious Society of Friends|Quaker]] members and three [[Anglicanism|Anglicans]]. As Quakers were not prepared to receive the sacrament of the Lord's Supper according to the rites of the Church of England, they were [[Test Act|not permitted]] to serve as [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Members of Parliament]], having Anglican members strengthened the committee's likelihood of influencing Parliament.
(Note: hoi  The new society was named the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, later often referred to simply as  the Abolition Society.

{{quote|The reverberations from what happened on this spot, on the late afternoon of 22 May 1787, eventually caught the attention of millions of people around the world, including the first and greatest student of what today we call civil society. The result of the series of events begun that afternoon in London, wrote French political philosopher France. Frenchman [[Alexis de Tocqueville]] decades later, was "absolutely without precedent...If you pore over the histories of all peoples, I doubt that you will find anything more extraordinary".

Five of the Quakers had been amongst the informal group of six Quakers who had pioneered the movement in 1783, when the first petition against the slave trade was presented to Parliament.
Three Anglicans were founding members:
# [[Thomas Clarkson]], campaigner and author of an influential essay against the slave trade;
# [[Granville Sharp]] (Lawyer - had long been involved in the support and prosecution of cases on behalf of [[slaves|enslaved Africans]]); and

==Mission and activities==
[[File:Official medallion of the British Anti-Slavery Society (1795).jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Am I Not a Man and a Brother?|"Am I Not A Man And A Brother?"]] medallion created as part of anti-slavery campaign by [[Josiah Wedgwood]], 1787]]
The society did not aim at ending slavery altogether, but only to abolish British involvement in the [[international slave trade]]. They would do this by awareness-raising campaigns highlighting some of the cruel practices involved in the trade.(Note: mylearning )
The mission of the Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade was to inform the public of the inhuman and immoral treatment of [[slaves|enslaved Africans]] committed in the name of slavery, to campaign in favour of a new law to abolish the [[slave trade]] and enforce this throughout the [[British Empire]]. The society's methods for pursuing its goals included writing and publishing anti-slavery books, abolitionist prints, [[posters]] and [[pamphlets]], and organising [[public lecture|lecture tours]] in the towns and cities of England. Clarkson's ''Essay on the Impolicy of the African Slave Trade'', published in 1788, was one of the first books of the subject. (Note: hoi )
Petitions were presented to the [[British House of Commons|House of Commons]] (over 100 in 1788)
(Note:  odnb anti-slavery [[demonstration (people)|rallies]] held, and a range of anti-slavery [[medallions]], crockery and bronze figurines were made, notably with the support of the Unitarian potter [[Josiah Wedgwood]] whose production of pottery [[medallion]]s featuring a slave in chains with the simple but effective question: "Am I not a man and a brother?" was very effective in bringing public attention to abolition. )

Clarkson wrote; "ladies wore them in bracelets, and others had them fitted up in an ornamental manner as pins for their hair. At length the taste for wearing them became general, and thus fashion, which usually confines itself to worthless things, was seen for once in the honourable office of promoting the cause of justice, humanity and freedom".

By educating the public, the Committee for the Abolition of the Slave Trade gained many members. In 1787, Clarkson's speaking tour of the great ports and cities of England raised public interest. Publication of the African [[Olaudah Equiano]]'s [[autobiography]] heightened public awareness, as the former slave expressed an unanswerable case against slavery in a work of literary merit. In 1789 Clarkson's promoted the committee's cause by encouraging the sale of Equiano's memoir and inviting the former slave to lecture in British ports linked to the slave trade.
[[William Wilberforce]] introduced the first Bill to abolish the slave trade in 1791, which was defeated by 163 votes to 88.
(Note: hoi As Wilberforce continued to bring the issue of the slave trade before Parliament, Clarkson and others on the Committee travelled, raised funds, lobbied, and wrote anti-slavery works. They conducted a protracted parliamentary campaign, during which Wilberforce introduced a motion in favour of abolition almost every year.
==Membership==
The committee was later joined by the Quaker philanthropist [[William Allen (English Quaker)|William Allen]], who worked closely with Wilberforce and with his fellow Quaker members,{{cn|date=December 2020}} and Wilberforce's fellow members of the [[Clapham Sect]] were subscribers to the society as well

===Female membership===
According to Claire Midgley (2004), the proportion of female subscribers to the society was typical of philanthropic societies of the time. Across the whole society, female subscribers comprised about 10 per cent of the membership, while in some centres, notable [[Manchester]] (with 68 women, or nearly a quarter of the total), the percentage was higher. Some of the most identifiable women were members of leading Quaker families, such as the wife of William Dillwyn, Sarah; others were members of the [[Clapham Sect]] and also members of the [[African Institution]], and others were members of wealthy [[Unitarianism|Unitarian]] families in Manchester.

By 1788 there were 206 female subscribers.

==Related societies==
Several members of the society also subscribed to the [[African Institution]] (founded 1807 to create a viable, civilised refuge for freed slaves in [[Sierra Leone]]
(Note: Source: last=African Institution (London | first=England) | title=Report of the Committee of the African Institution | publisher=Ellerton and Henderson | issue=v. 2 | year=1812 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oaARAAAAIAAJ | access-date=7 January 2021 | page=}} ).
(Note:  odnb  The [[Sons of Africa]] abolitionist society had a membership of educated Londoners, mostly African former slaves. It was closely connected to the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade.{{cn|date=January 2021}} )
Petitioning peaked in 1792, with up to 100,000 signatures (Manchester alone contributing 10,639), regional anti-slavery groups started taking the lead, especially in the [[north of England]]. (Note: odnb )
Women had increasingly played a larger role in the anti-slavery movement
(Note: Source: last1=Sussman| first1=Charlotte| title=Consuming Anxieties. Consumer Protest, Gender, and British Slavery, 1713-1833| year=2000|publisher=Stanford University Press|location=Stanford}} ) but could not take a direct role in [[British Parliament|Parliament]]. They sometimes formed their own anti-slavery societies. Many women were horrified that, under slavery, women and children were taken away from their families. In 1824, [[Elizabeth Heyrick]] published a pamphlet titled ''Immediate not Gradual Abolition'', in which she urged the immediate emancipation of slaves in the British colonies.{{cn|date=December 2020}}
Despite the little influence they carried, many female abolitionists made a big impact on the abolition of the slave trade. An important campaigner was [[Anne Knight]]. She was born into a Quaker family in Essex and took active roles in the anti-slavery campaigns. Knight formed the Chelmsford Female Anti-Slavery Society. She also toured France, giving lectures on the immorality of slavery.{{citation needed|date=July 2018}}
The [[Birmingham Ladies Society for the Relief of Negro Slaves]] was founded in [[Birmingham]], England, on 8 April 1825.

==1807 abolition==
In 1807, the British [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|Parliament]] voted to abolish the international slave trade under the [[Abolition of the Slave Trade Act]],  (Note:  mylearning  and enforce this through its maritime power, the [[Royal Navy]] ).

The society wound up its work after the Act was passed. (Note: hoi )
The United States also prohibited the African slave trade in the same year, to take effect on 1 January 1808.

In 1808 a separate Act was passed in the UK to give greater British protection to [[Freetown]] in West Africa (now capital of [[Sierra Leone]]), a colony established in 1788 for the resettlement of former slaves and Poor Blacks from London, as well as [[Black Loyalists]] who had initially been relocated to Nova Scotia following the [[American Revolutionary War]]. The Timni chief Nembana sold a strip of land to British official to establish this colony for freed slaves. When the Royal Navy later intercepted illegal slave trading ships, its crews frequently resettled the liberated Africans at Freetown.{{cn|date=December 2020}}
==New society==
{{main|Anti-Slavery Society (1823–1838)}}
From 1823, the [[Society for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery Throughout the British Dominions]] (aka Anti-Slavery Society) became the primary organised group working for legislation to abolish slavery. The Society and supporters, including captive and freed Africans, [[missionaries]] and evangelical movements in the colonies, worked to achieve the first stage of legal emancipation in the colonies. It also supported abolitionists in the United States. Many British supported lecture tours by American abolitionists in Britain who were raising funds for efforts in the United States. Such supporters sometimes provided refuge to Americans who had escaped from slavery and helped raise money to buy their freedom, as for [[Frederick Douglass]].{{cn|date=December 2020}}

А чем пожертвуете Вы ради своих убеждений?

 







Криминальная история - No criminal history

Это печальный комментарий о сегодняшней России. Многие россияне не могут понять, почему американский адвокат перебегает в Россию (Перебежчик). Многие циничные москвичи утверждают, что г-н Бейли имеет криминальное прошлое в США. Это отредактированная проверка криминального прошлого мистера Бейли в штате Мэриленд и ФБР за последние 6 лет. У мистера Бейли нет криминального прошлого.

It is a sad commentary on Russia today. Many Russians cannot understand why an American lawyer would defect to Russia (Перебежчик). Many cynical Muscovites posit that Mr. Bailey has a criminal history in the USA. This is Mr. Bailey's redacted criminal history background checks with the state of Maryland and the FBI over the past 6 years. Mr. Bailey has no criminal history.
