Can the Bible's Claims Be Substantiated? A Dave and Tom Classic
Gary: Welcome to Search the Scriptures 24/7, a radio ministry of The Berean Call. I'm Gary Carmichael. Thanks for tuning in. In today's program, we continue a two-installment series of classics from our Search the Scriptures Daily archives with the late founder of The Berean Call Dave Hunt and TBC executive director Tom McMahon. This week, they address the question: Can the Bible's Claims Be Substantiated? And now, here's Tom.
Tom: Thanks, Gary. You've tuned in to Search the Scriptures Daily, a program in which we encourage everyone who desires to know God's truth to look to God's Word for all that is essential for salvation and living one's life in a way that is pleasing to Him. If you're new to the program or haven't tuned in for a few weeks, we've been going through Dave Hunt's book Seeking and Finding God: In Search of the True Faith. Over the last couple of weeks in this first segment of our program, we've been giving evidences to substantiate the claims that the Bible makes that it is the only true Word of God. And as we've stated, only the Bible has features that really can substantiate its claim. Now, we've covered – what? Historical accuracy, its scientific accuracy, its archeological support, its perfect continuity and harmony of content presented by 40 writers over a span of about 1,600 years. Yet, Dave, as miraculous (and I really have to say miraculous) as all of that is, there is something else that is even more astounding in substantiating the claim that the Bible is indeed the only inspired Word of the one true God, and that's prophecy.
Dave: Mm-hmm, right.
Tom: Now, Dave, I know for some people, prophecy – they say, "I don't want to go there. It's too puzzling; it's too confusing. It involves metaphors, similes, all these kinds of things – too many symbolisms and all of that." So they avoid prophecy. But prophecy isn't just predicting the future; I would say the Word of God, the entire Word of God, is prophecy. It's not only foretelling the future, but it's forth telling what God wants us to know and understand.
Dave: Tom, prophecy is neglected. It's not preached in churches; it's not understood. And I don't think I've mentioned (maybe I have) the book that I'm writing right now, and I have to read what the evolutionists say, what the creationists say, and I've listened to many debates, and one thing that disappoints me greatly: the creationists, they all argue science. That's fine; I can do that too. Never have I heard one of them refer to the Bible. This is the great proof that God is the author of this Book, and there is so much prophecy. And so…
Tom: But, Dave, you know, for some people who don't understand, as I mentioned, people avoid prophecy because it just seems too puzzling for many people, and I can understand that. But why prophecy…you know, you say, "Well, you can prove the Bible by prophecy." Now, let's get very simple here – why do you say that? What would be something that would compel me to believe the Bible because of prophecy?
Dave: Well, Tom, the Bible does say, "The heavens declare the glory of God." It says, "The invisible things of God from his creation are clearly seen by the things that he has made."
Tom: So that's general revelation, right?
Dave: We get that, so I'm not saying prophecy is the only way. Prophecy is the best way, because when you get into these things, the atheist can argue with you, the evolutionists can argue with you: "Well, what about this, and what about that?" When you come to prophecy, no arguments. They cannot argue, and – am I allowed to give one example?
Tom: Give me some examples.
Dave: Okay, let's take Jeremiah:23:7Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
See All...: "The day is coming, saith the Lord, when they will no longer say, Blessed be the Lord who brought his people out of Egypt into the promised land, but, Blessed be the Lord who brought his people back from all the nations whither he had scattered them."
Okay, now that didn't happen originally when they came out of Egypt. They weren't even scattered; they were in the land for a long time. They were cast out because of their sin, their rebellion against God. But God said He is not going to cast them off forever, and one day He's going to bring them back. And actually, it says it will be in the last days – one of the reasons we know we are in the last days. Now, if you go to Israel today, you find that they have come back from more than 100 nations! I would say that's a fulfillment of prophecy.
Tom: Right, and very specific.
Dave: Very specific.
Tom: See, Dave, I think the thing that people forget is that it's not just a matter of, "Well, that was a good guess." There are so many prophecies that have been fulfilled that the probability of this happening by chance – it just couldn't have happened by chance. The mathematical probabilities are zero and beyond.
Dave: Well, Tom, you just pile prophecy on prophecy. Let's quickly go to Joel:3:2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
See All...: God says, "I am going to," in the last days again, "I am going to bring all the nations of the world back to Jerusalem into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I am going to punish them for two things: 1) They have scattered my people everywhere," which, of course, we know happened. "2) They have divided my land." And I won't go into details about that. Britain was given the mandate to see that this became the homeland of the Jewish people scattered everywhere, slaughtered in the Holocaust. What did Britain do? They kept the Jews out, and they let the Arabs in for oil, so that Holocaust survivors in half-sinking ships, within sight of the Promised Land, driven back by the British Navy, put into camps… And I could give you many other examples, but we don't have time. But Britain lost its empire! I grew up in the days when "Britannia rules the waves," you know.
Tom: "The sun never sets on the empire," and so on.
Dave: Yeah, okay. So here we are, Joel:3:2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
See All...: "In the last days I'm going to punish all nations." People often say, "Is the United States in prophecy?" We just read it: "all nations," I think, includes the USA as well. "For two things…" We said, "They have scattered my people everywhere. 2) They have divided my land."
Now that is an amazing prophecy, because Israel has been conquered by many nations, but they never divided the land; none of them divided the land. The Ottoman Turkish Empire, they kept the whole thing plus a whole lot more – never a thought of dividing it up. Who would you give it to? Why would you divide it? The Babylonians, they didn't divide the land. So this is an amazing prophecy.
First of all (and without going into any more details about Britain, what Britain did and so forth), UN Resolution 181 – Google it; there it is! – it's called, "The Partition of the Land." All the nations joined together to divide the land of Israel. And by the way, they gave Israel 13 percent of what the League of Nations in the Declaration of Principles in 1922 had said belonged to them. So every proposal for peace since, including President Bush's Roadmap to Peace, so-called – what is the basis of it? What's the bottom line? "Israel, give them more land, give them more land."
And God says, "I am angry and I am going to punish the nations of the world for doing this."
Tom: Mm-hmm. Dave, I want to get even more basic about prophecy than that. Those are terrific prophecies. There are so many. But you know, I remember that a while back I was asked to – this was a number of years ago – I was asked to speak at a prophecy conference. I mean, you had been speaking at prophecy conferences, but now somebody asked me to speak, and I thought, "What will I do?" I mean, I really wasn't up on prophecy. It wasn't at the top of my list. As a matter of fact, I vaguely remember way back you mentioning that prophecy early on for you wasn't, you know, wasn't high on your list of really exploring prophecy and using it as you have in the last two or three decades. But anyway…
Dave: Well, because it seemed so complicated. How are you going to sort out all these beasts in Daniel, Revelation? Lot of symbolism, as you mentioned.
Tom: But, Dave, with all of your time in the Bible, think about me. I mean, I couldn't have been a Christian more than 10 years, but now I have to speak at a prophecy conference. Well, what I had to do was – I thought, How am I going to do this and really give those who came to the conference something that was valuable to them? So I did what I call "Prophecy 101." In other words, let's just talk about prophecy, what it is, but let's just go right up to the first coming of Christ. That's a slam dunk. I mean, all these prophecies, as you well know – you can go to the Psalms, you can go to Isaiah, and you can basically lay out the scenario of the crucifixion in such detail, you know, and this was written – what? – 500 to 800 years prior to Jesus being crucified. So…
But let's take some basic things about Jesus. How about where He was born? How about going into Jerusalem on a donkey? I mean, there are so many verses from the Psalms and from the prophets that lay this thing out very specifically.
Dave: Well, Tom, it gives the very day that He would ride into Jerusalem. And in Judgment Day!, I think I have a subheading in one of my chapters: "How Many Candidates for Messiah?" Well, how would you qualify? The Bible lays it out: as you said, you have to be born in Bethlehem of a virgin, but you've got to be born at a particular time.
Tom: Would some characters down in history be able to control any of that? Because people said, "Well, you know, Jesus manufactured some of these." Could He decide where He was going to be born?
Dave: Well, not if He's not God.
Tom: Absolutely.
Dave: But Daniel 9 says, "It will be 69 weeks of years after the command to restore Jerusalem that the Messiah will ride into Jerusalem (on that donkey you were talking about)." He will be hailed by the people, and four days later they will be crying, "Away with Him! Crucify Him!"
Now, the day that He would ride into Jerusalem, that's very specific, and you can look it up. Here it is: Sixty-nine weeks of years from the command to restore, rebuild Jerusalem. That's 483 years.
Now, go back and we can – I don't know that we want to go into all these details, Tom, but if we go back, we will find out…Nehemiah 2, for example, Nehemiah is – I mean, the Bible is so fantastic – he is in Babylon. Jerusalem has been destroyed, but they have been given permission to go back to the land, but Nehemiah is still there. They've been given permission to rebuild the temple, and Nehemiah and a couple of friends come back. They've been in Jerusalem. He says, "How are things going?"
And they say, "Well, it's a sorry rebuilding of the temple. I mean, it doesn't look anything like Solomon's. And besides that, the walls are broken down, the gates are burned with fire. It just sits there defenseless." And Nehemiah weeps.
Now, he has to go in – he's the king's cupbearer – he has to go in before the king. And you don't go in before the king with a…
Tom: Depressed!
Dave: Right. You're supposed to be, you know, "Top of the morning to you, king!" But he can't.
Tom: An Irish king, you're thinking. Anyway…
Dave: Right. But he can't. He dries his eyes; he tried, but he can't hide the grief in his face. And the king says, "I perceive that you have a great sorrow. What is it?"
He says, "It's my people." And then he explains: "The walls are broken down; it's Jerusalem. The walls are broken down, the gates are burned with fire."
"Well, what do you want from me?" says the king? I think he must have had a great affection for Nehemiah; he must have been serving him very well.
Nehemiah says, "Would you give me the right to rebuild Jerusalem?"
So this is not rebuilding a temple; some people get confused. No, no, this is rebuilding Jerusalem.
And the king says, "Granted," and he writes out a letter.
Now, you don't have to search the archaeological records to see if you can't find a letter that was dated back there so you get the date. We know that it was 69 weeks of years from the command to rebuild Jerusalem, because Nehemiah tells you in verse 2: "It was in the month Nisan, and it was in the 20th year of Artaxerxes Longimanus, who ruled from 465 BC until 425 BC." He had a long rule. So the 20th year of his reign would be 445 BC, Nisan 1st, and you can sit down and calculate it. People have calculated it various ways, and they only come out about one-year difference, depending on what year they start with. Some of them start with 444 BC, some with 445.
But anyway, Tom, how would you qualify to be the Messiah? Then you've got to get yourself crucified, and then you've got to rise from the dead.
Tom: Dave – well, if you've just joined us, we're going over how incredibly miraculous prophecy is, how it defies any sense that it could have happened by chance. And, Dave, I want to go over a couple of verses just to show you God, who calls Himself the God of prophecy, what He thinks about this, what His view is on it. This is Isaiah:46:9-10 [9] Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, [10] Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
See All...: "I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure."
Now let me give you another one. This is God's challenge – this is Isaiah:41:22-23 [22] Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. [23] Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
See All...: "Let them [that is, the idols of the nations] bring them forth, and show us what shall happen: let them show the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods; yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together."
So only God, who is infinite, omniscient, transcendent, beyond time, can know and declare what will take place before it happens. And, Dave, that's the proof that you have been arguing for. That's the proof that many have lost in looking at the Bible or dealing with things such as atheism and agnosticism and all of these things.
Dave: Well, Tom, it impacts the gospel, because the gospel is preached from prophecy. They didn't have Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; they had the Old Testament. And Paul, when he went into the synagogue (Acts 17), he opened the Scriptures, he reasoned with them three Sabbath days out of their Scriptures. It says, "…opening and alleging that Christ must needs have suffered these things, and that this Jesus I preach unto you is Christ." See, that really bothered people: "Well, how – wait a minute, wait a minute – who's going to follow a dead Christ?"
Well, He's not dead, He's risen. But look, He was rejected, He was despised by His own people – they said, "Away with him! Crucify him!" How can you fit that into the Messiah, and then He's the Messiah? Well, it's all foretold: He would be hated and rejected of men, and so forth.
Tom: And, Dave, you know, you mentioned Acts 17 – well, let's go to the verse that we use as our theme verse for The Berean Call. You have these Jews in the synagogue in the city of Berea, the Greek city of Berea. Paul has come to them, and why is he there? Just as you mentioned, he's preaching that Jesus is the Messiah, the One that the prophets foretold! He didn't use the New Testament; he went to the old Tanakh, as the Jews would call it, the Old Testament…
Dave: The New Testament wasn't written.
Tom: Right. So…and these Jews are commended. Why? Because, first of all, they listened to what the apostle Paul had to say; they were open minded, okay? But then the real commendation comes because they listened to what he had to say, but then they "searched the Scriptures daily." What Scriptures? The prophets, the Old Testament prophets…
Dave: Right.
Tom: "…to see if these things were so."
Dave: So, Tom, if you went to 1 Corinthians 15…Romans:1:16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
See All... says, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes it." You've got to believe the gospel to be saved. Well, what about the gospel? What is the gospel? Well, the Bible doesn't just lay it out A, B, C in very many places, but one of the places where it certainly does that is 1 Corinthians:15:1-4 [1] Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; [2] By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. [3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
See All.... And Paul says, "This is the gospel that I preached unto you, which you received, by which you were saved, wherein you stand, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures."
Now, if you preach the gospel (and I'm not trying to be critical, I'm trying to help myself as well as others), and you leave out "according to the scriptures," then you haven't really preached the gospel according to Paul.
"This is the gospel I preach, how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures, that He was buried and that He rose the third day, according to the scriptures." You see, the reason for that, Tom, is quite obvious. I just come around and I say, "Yeah, I knew this guy back there and he got crucified, and I think there have been witnesses that saw that he rose from the dead," and so forth. Wait a minute! I want to have something backing this up, and if there are specific prophecies saying that this is exactly what would happen, then I've got the proof. I've got the evidence. This is really essential for the gospel.
Tom: And, Dave, for those – maybe we have some young believers who have started reading the Bible for the first time, and we recommend that they just start in Genesis, work their way through; or if they want something from the New Testament, begin with the Gospel of John. Certainly that would be an encouragement. But I like going back to Genesis, Dave, because that's really what lays it out. You have, first of all, the first prophecy, the first prophecy being Genesis:3:15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
See All.... Now, can you comment on that?
Dave: Well now, we wouldn't want to offend our Catholic people, but it says that God is speaking to the serpent, and he's speaking to Adam and Eve. He's rebuking all of them. And to the serpent He says, "…the seed of the woman will bruise your…you will bruise his heel." We're talking about the seed of the woman as the Messiah. This is a virgin birth; it doesn't say seed of man and woman. The seed of the woman is coming, and He is going to bruise your head. He'll deal you a death blow, but you will bruise His heel. Now, in Catholic Bibles, and I have a number of old Catholic Bibles – they've changed it now in the modern ones, because, I guess they were embarrassed…
Tom: Right, to do away with old Bibles that would claim that this is Mary.
Dave: Right. It doesn't say the seed of the woman, it says the woman; and you know Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal – I don't know whether…did you wear it?
Tom: Of course.
Dave: You wore the Miraculous Medal?
Tom: Oh absolutely, and the scapular. I did all that.
Dave: Well, Mary allegedly appeared to Catherine Labouré – what was it? – 1832 or something like that.
Tom: Right, 1830s.
Dave: Yeah, in Paris. And she told her who she was, and she appeared actually with her foot, her heel, on the head of the serpent.
Tom: Right.
Dave: And she said, "Mint a medal with this image." So it's not just – well, Tom, you could better explain it than I can, but many – would we dare say most of the false doctrines comes from visions.
Tom: Apparitions.
Dave: I'm sorry, apparitions, right. So here we have, not Jesus, not the seed of the woman, but the woman, and this is why she is presented as co-mediatrix, co-redemptrix, and that she actually, by her pain, paid for our sins.
Tom: Yeah. Dave, we're out of time right now, but there is so much in Genesis that needs to be understood with regard to prophecy, God pointing to the cross, okay? We have tunics of skin in Genesis:3:21Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
See All.... These things were types of Christ pointing to Jesus the Messiah who would come and pay for the sins of the world, pay them in full. So next week we'll pick up with this.

DesmoSport Ducati x UNIT Workwear
Defending Australian Superbike Champions DesmoSport Ducati will be outfitted with UNIT Workwear at the track, workshop and travelling in 2020.
The Gold Coast-based team announced the partnership today as they enter the final few days of preparation before Phillip Island's season opener.
Mike Jones will pilot the #1 machine after outlasting the competition in a hard-fought end to 2019.
The workwear range fits seamlessly with the team's corporate red, black, and white colour scheme, a recognisable hallmark of the prestigious Ducati brand.
DesmoSport Ducati owner, Ben Henry: "I'm really excited to partner with the team at Unit this season. Our workshop is flat-out as we head into the first round next week, and as a team we have the spotlight on us after wining the championship, so we're working long days both at the track and at the shop to make sure we don't leave anything on the table when we line up on the grid. To have Unit Workwear step in and ensure our entire crew is equipped for the long hours in comfortable, professional gear, made for hard work is just incredible."
Toby Lynch UNIT Marketing Manager: "We're pleased to partner with DesmoSport Ducati for 2020 as the team aims for back-to-back championship success in the highly-competitive ASBK ranks. Ben Henry and Troy Bayliss run a professional and polished team that continues to set the benchmark. Our new range of UNIT Workwear fits in seamlessly with the look and feel of the team and will bring both functionality and comfort to the crew at race events, while they travel as well as back at the workshop. It's an exciting space for the brand to get involved in and ties in with the brand's DNA in two wheels while aligning to our newer involvement in powersports including V8 Supercars. We wish Mike Jones and the team all the best as the season kicks off next weekend."
DesmoSport Ducati owner, Troy Bayliss: "I'm pretty excited to update the wardrobe! We're lucky to have a great group of supporters behind us at DesmoSport Ducati, with a lot of them being home-grown, successful brands, developed right here in Australia and Unit is no different. I'm loving the workwear range we've been able to sample so far, and I have to admit I've been having a sneaky look at their range of downhill gear too, I might have to grab some of that too!"

Rodney King, 20 years later
NEXT:Barack Obama, Bill O'Reilly Raise $750K For Charity
PREVIOUS:Vanity Fair on Piers Morgan: 'Who is he, why is he here, is he returnable?'
By Chris Ariens on Mar. 4, 2011 - 9:25 AM
"In the Arena" CNN's new 8pmET show will be preempted tonight as CNN's Don Lemon talks with Rodney King, 20 years after a high speed pursuit led to a videotaped beating at the hands of LAPD officers. An excessive force trial, an acquittal and five days of riots, including another videotaped beating, that of truck driver Reginald Denny, resulted in a national conversation about race.
Lemon talks with King and with George Holliday who videotaped the beating in what would become one of the first instances of what we now call citizen journalism. Lemon also speaks with Bobby Green, who rescued white truck driver Denny.
Lemon retraces the events, the trial, the riots and what's changed in 20 years in Race and Rage – The Beating of Rodney King airing tonight and tomorrow night at 8pmET. A preview after the jump…


Throughout the world, survivors of the shift will react in different ways, depending upon their level of prior knowledge and their personality. Look about you to the survivors of sudden storms, tornadoes or lightning strikes. These individuals are devastated and basically in shock. They understand that something unexpected has occurred, and they have lost loved ones, lost possessions, perhaps themselves are injured so life as they remembered it can never return, and are grieving. If the result of an expected catastrophe, like an approaching hurricane where they boarded up windows and tied down all that might blow away, the survivors might be angry at themselves for lack of proper preparation, or angry at the gods for delivering the storm, or angry at the authorities for not issuing an earlier warning, or angry at the insurance companies for not replacing lost goods, but anger is the mode. Now add to this the additional devastation of no helping hands arriving, and even those simply grieving at the loss will become angry.
If the survivors were expecting the shift, were in what they considered a safe place and all supplies and loved ones tied down and out of the wind and water surges, there will still be anger. Even had they convinced themselves that they understood this to be a normal astrophysical occurrence, and prepared for it, anger is a normal reaction to loss, or assault. Thus, survivors, even in camps where all were mentally prepared, will be angry, red faced, and wanting to explode on some excuse or another. What to do with all that anger? Direct it into activity, productive activity.
Nature, for survival, has engineered into the human animal flight or fight, and you can expect your human animals to want to do one or the other. There are those that will run, hysterical, trying to escape the devastation and only returning when their energy has exhausted itself and they are again calm. There are those that will want to fight, something, and will take this emotion out on the group unless directed elsewhere. In cases such as this, a quick directive to save this or that supply, to save this or that child about to bleed to death, to rush to another camp to find out how they faired, will direct this energy into action, the purpose of the fight or flight emotion. Those with a calm head, and those about them who may need to take over in case the calm head is not so calm as expected, after the shift, should be prepared with this list and bark orders, promptly. Do not wait until fighting among the group breaks out, bickering, explosion, and the need to mend fences afterwards. Be prepared in the first minutes after the shift, when survivors are emerging and dusting themselves off, red faced and looking for the enemy.


Difference between revisions of "Treason Trials"
Thirteen men were tried at the State Trials in Melbourne from 22 February to 27 March 1855.<ref>http://www.takver.com/history/eureka.htm, sighted 07 May 2013.</ref> While awaitoing trial they were held in the [[Melbourne Gaol]].
:Sober-minded men would have accepted that as a very fair burlesque on stump oratory, and the jury which found Seekamp guilty of sedition considered no doubt that the little man's imagination had bolted with him, and recommended him to mercy. The mercy was shown, for he was set at liberty, gaining more celebrity by the fact that he was horsewhipped in the streets of Ballarat by the notorious Lola Montez than because of the Victor Hugo-like outbursts to his countrymen.
:Raffaello states that the Ballarat rioters were acquitted on All Fools' Day, 1855, and other historians have followed him in commenting on the significance of the date as a part of the irony of fate. The Italian was not a man who allowed facts to interfere with the naturally theatrical trend of his pen, but as a matter of fact the trials were over in the month of March, and all the prisoners acquitted.
:"The charge is that you did on the 3rd December, 1854, being then in a warlike manner, traitorously assemble together against our Lady the Queen, and that you did, whilst so armed and assembled together levy and make war against our said Lady the Queen within part of her dominions called Victoria, and attempt by force of arms to destroy the Government constituted there and by law established, and to depose our Lady the Queen from the kingly name and her Imperial Crown."
:Great preparations were made for the trials, which took place before Mr. Justice Barry, with the then Attorney-General, Mr. W. F. Stawell, and the Solicitor-General, Mr. R. Molesworth, prosecuting for the Crown; while some of the most eminent fighting counsel of the period—Mr. Ireland, Mr. Aspinall, Mr. Michie, Mr. Cope, and Mr. Dawson—defended the pri- soners. For the jury there was a special panel of 180 men, who had a portion of the court reserved to them; and by the time one or two juries had been taken out of the mass the rest were pretty familiar with the evidence to come, and had quite made up their minds as to a verdict. Indeed, the remarkable feature of the trial was the directly contradictory nature of the evidence—the one set of witnesses deposing that when attacking the stockade they had seen the prisoners firing at them, and had captured them afterwards with arms in their hands; while others swore that the unfortunate prisoners had by purely fortuitous circumstances been brought to the neighbourhood of the stockade on that particular morning, and then only as on-lookers. In fact, some of them were so prudent that they had been almost forcibly dragged there.
:In the case of [[Timothy Hayes]], who was the first tried, the evidence of Trooper [[Henry Goodenough]], known as "the spy of Eureka"—and who certainly humbugged the diggers in the most complete manner— was as to his identity and sympathies. Goodenough stated that the rioters were at the outset drilled in five companies of 100 men each. On one occasion he heard Lalor say to them, "Gentlemen soldiers, mind the officers. Take a good aim at the officers. If they beat us we will retreat through the Gravel Pits to the Canadian Gully. I don't think the soldiers will fight, as they will be on our side if the officers fall." His evidence looked direct and conclusive, but being utterly unused to the methods of legal warfare, he broke down utterly under the artillery of Ireland's wit, contradicted himself a dozen times, while hardly knowing what he was saying, and Judge Barry had to threaten the occupants of the court to silence their jeering laughter.
:The judge himself provided a laugh during the progress of the trial. One of the accused had in heroic language just pictured himself romantically as a man with the sword of Damocles suspended over him by a hair, when a suspicious cracking of wood was heard, and someone shouted from the gallery that the huge canopy of cedar over the bench was about to fall.
:His Honour took one look at the tottering structure, and skipped blithely out, with the remark that he would sooner sit under the sword of Damocles than under that canopy.


Rabble Wine Company creates Central Coast flavors with edgy and historical labels. They showcase the best fruit from highly sought after Paso Robles and the Santa Maria Valley. The labels all incorporate beautiful public domain art rooted in history: woodblock prints from the 1500s, illustrations by John James Audubon, and etchings from William Blake and John Boydell. And like their wine, the labels are known to engage, evoke emotion, and spark conversation.
The Rabble Wine is often described as approachable yet intense. It's a small lot, barrel selected wine that's uncorrupted and pure. It embraces the true characteristic of the Tempranillo grape. It exudes its sense of place; the wind and frosts of Santa Maria and the extreme diurnal shifts of Paso Robles. The labels are renditions of historical wood block prints, textured and tactile, depicting nature's wrath. Nature is ruthless when it goes ignored.


Japanese distributor Gaga Communications has blamed its release strategy for Hollywood films as one of the reasons for cutting its earnings forecast earlier this month.
At the beginning of August, Gaga said it would post a consolidated net loss of $12.3m (Y1.47b) for the financial year ending September 31.
The company has seen disappointing box office results for Hollywood titles such as John Q and The Core, which were released up against Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets and The Matrix Reloaded respectively. John Q took $6.9m (Y830m) while The Core earned $12.5m (Y1.5b).
Gaga has long had a reputation for buying everything from Hollywood majors to straight-to-video titles in package deals. However, the company has streamlined its acquisition business under the new president and COO, Nishiho Marumo, who plans to select only top quality Hollywood titles and art-house films for the company's upcoming line-up.
Gaga will release Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill in October 2003 and two of this year's Cannes competitors, Francois Ozon's Swimming Pool and Lars Von Trier's Dogville in 2004.
Meanwhile, a Gaga spokesman said that Gaga was planning to work on two to three co-production projects a year with international partners, particularly from the US and Europe, to target the worldwide market.
Gaga publicist Rie Hirosawa added: "We are expecting to post a net profit of $900,000 (Y110m) from the film production business for the fiscal year ending September 31, 2004, $2.5m (Y300m) in the 2005 and $4.1m (Y500m) in the 2006."
Gaga has become known for the strong releases of its art-house titles, with recent hits including Bowling For Columbine which took $4m (Y500m) and 8 Women which earned $3.3m (Y400m). The company also enjoyed box office success with the Chicago which grossed $30.4m (Y3.65b) on 260 screens.
Gaga is also eyeing game-to-film adaptation deals for Japanese games, animation and comics.
Most recently, the arcade game maker Capcom and Gaga concluded a film option deal for Devil May Cry, a Capcom game series that has sold 4.37m units internationally. The estimated budget for the film is $40m, with a planned release date of 2005.
Capcom and Gaga previously announced a similar co-production deal for Onimusha, another popular Capcom game with 4.8m units sold, together with Metropolitan of France. In February 2002, Gaga announced the production of a film based on the Namco game Tekken, together with Crystal Sky of the United States.

Yes, he was. In 1956, Ginsberg sat at a kitchen table in San Francisco and wrote that his friends were going crazy. They could still hear the voice of Joe McCarthy ranting and, out the window, count the Pentagon contractors polishing new war heads. In an America gone mad, insanity was the best defense.
And that's still the news.

Today, museum staff members are answering questions sent in to us through social media, particularly Twitter. Here are a few of our favorite questions and answers. We'll update this blog throughout the day on September 16, 2015. Have a questions? Check the schedule to find out who is answering questions at what time and send us a tweet.
Christy Wallover, Project Assistant in the Division of Armed Forces History: Before I worked in a museum or went to school for museum studies, I was a cultural resources management archaeologist for four years. I excavated sites ranging in time from the archaic period to the turn of the 20th century and anywhere from the Northeast Corridor to the Mid-West. During an excavation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I was able to participate in a public program that connected the present community to artifacts that we recovered from excavations from around that area. We made exhibitions and were able to talk directly to the public. The experience changed the direction of my career—I was hooked on museum work.
Group answer from staff members on the 10-11 a.m. EDT shift: I haven't read the book but appreciate the recommendation, as someone who values things, joy, and a tidy life. Encouraging people to "discard" could encourage people to contact a museum or archive earlier than they would have, when more information is available. Also, knowledgeable collectors would definitely hold onto objects/papers of significance (or would ask a specialist, like a museum, to help them determine what is significant). And I think some people are collectors and will collect no matter what popular organizing trend is happening. Perhaps this trend toward minimalism means people will go out and see things vs. keep them? That might mean an attendnce boost for museums!
@amhistorymuseum #askacurator What's the weirdest thing used as money in your collection?
Hillery York, Collections Manager for the National Numismatic Collection: We have a selection of feathers from Quetzal birds that were once used as currency in Mayan Culture. This is how Fred ended up in our numismatics collection!
Patri O'Gan, Project Assistant in the Division of Armed Forces History: We have a fairly large collection of World War I sheet music. Patriotic music was very popular before and during the war. Our "Women in World War I" object group has a section on music that contains a lot of great info and links to collection objects. Music was also important during the Civil War. Our Archives Center has a collection of illustrated sheet music from both the Confederate and Union sides of the Civil War.
Hillery York, Collections Manager for the National Numismatic Collection: When Parks and Recreation filmed a scene here in our America on the Move exhibition. The episode and related photos are hilarious.
Christy Wallover, Project Assistant in the Division of Armed Forces History: We have an extensive collection of Civil War Navy objects. For example, we have uniform articles that include a flat hat from a man stationed aboard the U.S.S. Kearsarge as well as a jumper that belonged to Charles Gillette Pratt, who enlisted on August, 29, 1864, and served aboard the U.S.S. Rhode Island. (Both of those objects will be in an online object group coming soon!). The collection also holds numerous objects from Admiral David G. Farragut. We have models of the U.S.S. Monitor and the C.S.S. Virginia.
Hillery York, Collections Manager for the National Numismatic Collection: These objects give us a detailed look at the intended designs for much of our nation's currency history. The value lies in comparing changes in design and spellings from the approved proof to what was actually circulated and printed!
Sage Xaxua Morgan-Hubbard, Youth Programs Coordinator: Museum professionals can support school teachers with professional development trainings such as our free Let's Do History and Teach it Forward workshops for educators on how best to use objects in their classrooms. We also have a twitter feed @explorehistory where we send daily tweets with resources from our vast collections and an incredible amount of lesson plans and activities listed on our website where teachers can find specific exercises, books, and links to specific topics/subject areas and search by resource type, grade level, historical era, and cross-curricular connections. For more information on commonly asked questions from educators please see our FAQ.
@amhistorymuseum did women serve in the armed forces?
Patri O'Gan, Project Assistant in the Division of Armed Forces History: Yes! Women have been serving with the Armed Forces for a long time! Army Nurse Corps was established in 1901. Navy Nurse Corps was established in 1908. June 1948 marked the passage of Women's Armed Services Integration Act, which helped establish women as permanent part of U.S. Armed Forces. Here are a few links you might enjoy from World War I and World War II.
@amhistorymuseum how do u decide what 2 collect?
John Hasse, Curator of American Music: We seek to take the long view—500 years from now, what objects will endure and help tell the story of the American musical experience?
@amhistorymuseum Is art the most effective way of documenting historical events? #AskACurator Thank you!
Patri O'Gan, Project Assistant in the Division of Armed Forces History: I would say it's definitely a very powerful way! Especially before photography became more widespread. See World War I American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) Art collection. My favorite is below. It's called "On the Wire."
Sage Xaxua Morgan-Hubbard, Youth Programs Coordinator: This is a great question. There are many ways to engage teens. Many of our exhibits are interactive by design so that teens can use touch screens or games to better understand the narrative of the exhibit. It also is helpful to use our self-guides and prepare the teens before they arrive here for the shows they are going to see. Teens like to be in charge of their own learning as much as possible, so challenge them to do research beforehand or a scavenger hunt competition that makes them dig deeper. You will be surprised by what the teens might enjoy and pay attention to. Each teen is different but our museum is so large, we have something for everyone!
Sage Xaxua Morgan-Hubbard, Youth Programs Coordinator: This depends, but our teens in our summer program this summer especially loved the DJ turntables in Places of Invention. They loved Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves in American Stories, interactive elements in American Enterprise and Object Project. Teens also say that they are "wowed" by the large objects such as the "El" train in America on the Move and Julia Child's Kitchen. There is also always a teen that is blown away by some of our military history objects because "they were really at war." But don't take my word for it. Come in yourself or browse our online collections and see what your teens are wowed by. I bet you will be surprised by what might catch their attention and impress them. I am always surprised by what objects particular teens are impressed by daily.
Katherine Ott, Curator in the Division of Medicine and Science: I try to keep on top of current practice and events, for sure. But it is very tricky to weigh the significance of an event for the long term and documentation. I wish knowledge of history was a better predictor.
John Hasse, Curator of American Music: We take the long view, and it usually takes some years to achieve the psychic and temporal distance to put developments into perspective. We use lots of judgment and discussions with our colleagues to determine what ought to be added to the National Collections.
Katherine Ott, Curator in the Division of Medicine and Science: Joseph Lister got that going in the 1860s. He noticed that dressing wounds with bandages soaked in carbolic acid dramatically reduced infections. Sterilizing instruments followed quickly after that.
@amhistorymuseum What is the earliest camera in your collection? Earliest photograph?
Shannon Perich, Curator of Photographic History: The Morse Daguerreotype camera was made for the inventor and artist best known for his telegraph. While in Paris in 1839, visiting with Jacque Louis Mande Daguerre, he acquired a daguerreotype lens. There were no camera manufacturers yet, so the box of the camera was made by a furniture maker! The first U.S. patent issued for a camera is the Walcott camera, May 8, 1840. It was tiny and made one little daguerreotype at a time. It's about the same size as a smart phone like this one used by John Paul Caponigro. Think about the difference in the capacity and power!
Roger Sherman, Curator of the Modern Physics collection: What appeals to me about physics is that it is a never-ending search to find out how the world works, in the most fundamental sense. For many centuries, what we now know as physics was treated as part of philosophy and handled in a speculative way. Then, in the 17th century, the techniques of experiment and careful observation became popular, and physics took off. From then on, we have example after example of clever thinkers, individually or as members of teams, devising and implementing ingenious ways to answer specific questions about nature. As a museum curator, I am responsible for preserving and understanding the instruments, the gadgets, and the apparatus for asking nature these questions. The opportunity for examining, close up, these goodies can be a real thrill.
Shannon Perich, Curator of Photographic History: I'm not a conservator, but the most pungent identifier of nitrate is the smell. It often has vinegar syndrome. Nitratre film, ironically, usually has the word "safety" on it. If you think you have nitrate film, call a conservator!
@amhistorymuseum Shannon: What's the turning point where photography became more accessible to everyone, not just professionals?
Shannon Perich, Curator of Photographic History: There isn't a single moment, but the most noted, and perhaps most deliberate was Kodak's 1888, "You push the button, we do the rest" moment when they separated the processing from the picture taking. But each new innovation seems to open the possibilities for more participation. Photography is patented in 1839, but it took until 1842 until there were good mass manufactured daguerreotype plates. That opened the doors for photographers because it was one less step they had to do. The Brownie camera in 1900 at $1, made cameras accessible because they were cheap! So there a lot of moments where entry into photography is made easier depending on your skill level, ambition and economics.
So, radioactivity in the collections is a real concern, and we take it seriously. I have been designated the museum's Radiation Safety Officer, and provided with a Geiger counter. From time to time colleagues call me in to check things, either new acquisitions, or artifacts they find in the collections. It is quite remarkable how many old watches, compasses, and gun sights turn out to have glow-in-the-dark radium paint on them. In almost every case, the radiation itself is not hazardous; what is important is to make sure the material cannot flake off and contaminate things or get on skin. I keep careful records of what is radioactive and to what degree and this is true acros the Smithsonian Institution.
Shannon Perich, Curator of Photographic History: There are so many great photographs out in the world! I look for a photograph or group of photographs that make about how individual lives or stories are connected to larger historical narrative. For example, I recently collected a group of snapshots from about 1910-1960. One photo might not tell me much, but the group of them say something larger about this particular tradition in the U.S. One of my favorites is one in which there is a Christmas tree, a Buddah, and a Menorah. Fine art is one aspect of the collection, as most people would expect, but we collect for the technology, art and history of photography. So, I've even collected a giant IRIS printer to document the history of digital photography.
@amhistorymuseum Working in photog, what do you think about the craze of instagram in museums - people taking pictures of pictures?
Shannon Perich, Curator of Photographic History: First let me say, the flash is bad for a lot of paper based art and especially textiles, so that's often where the no photography policy comes from and we all want to preserve museum objects. But, today, to take a picture of something is usually do it out of enthusiasm, appreciation, and desire to remember. Often, we use this kind of act of photography as memory making. But if you take a photograph, give credit to the artist and don't do anything with it that takes away from the artist's integrity and rights!
Roger Sherman, Curator of the Modern Physics collection: As most people know, only a small fraction of a museum's collection is on display at any one time, something like 5%. In the past, Modern Physics has had a number of exhibitions, the two most ambitious being Atom Smashers: 50 Years and Atomic Clocks. Both came down many years ago, and at present there is only one single small Modern Physics artifact on display here. It can be a little frustrating to be in charge of a collection filled with remarkable objects, and not be able to put them out for people to enjoy and learn from.
One practical consideration is that many Modern Physics objects are big and heavy. The liquid hydrogen bubble chamber from the Brookhaven National Laboratory is a huge mass of stainless steel and optical glass that weighs many tons and looks like a modern abstract sculpture. It was barely able to fit under the museum's high ceiling in Atom Smashers, and no doubt will not go on exhibit again for a long time.
Another piece from that exhibition appeals to me more, though: the Van de Graaff accelerator from the Carnegie Institution of Washington. It consists of a big aluminum ball on three legs, with a glass tube going up into it, looking very much like a prop from a 1930s science fiction movie. (Could the movie makers of those days have been inspired by it? I wouldn't be surprised.) It was constructed in the early 1930s and, despite its outlandish appearance, it was used for some very serious and important research that shed light on the forces between protons in atomic nuclei. It is so tall that it had to be installed in a special pit in the museum floor, with a staircase going down into it. When the time came to dismantle it, I had to identify, number, and tag every one of the hundreds of pieces that we dismantled it into. That was a huge project, but I like to think that some curator way in the future will be able to put the machine back together thanks to my efforts.
Shannon Perich, Curator of Photographic History: At the Smithsonian, there are over seven hundred (no, that's not a typo!) photography collections. Each will have a specific collecting plan, scope, and use. No doubt one of photography's chief attributes is its reproducibility, so there are photographs that exist in multiple collections. This museum has over twenty photography collections alone! The Photographic History Collection is the largest collection, though, with almost 250,000 images and pieces of apparatus.
Roger Sherman, Curator of the Modern Physics collection: Before World War I, physics in this country was a minor discipline that lacked prestige and did not attract much attention from the general public. At schools and universities, it was generally treated as an academic discipline whose chief value was to train minds in careful thinking and teach that the world is fundamentally an orderly place. Little emphasis was placed on research, and what research there was came from universities.
Industries at that time were far more interested in supporting research in chemistry, and the government provided little support. Nevertheless, the field was growing slowly.
Albert Michelson won the first American Nobel Prize in physics for his optical researches. Experiments by him and others to measure the speed of light attracted attention, and right around the turn of the century Nichols and Hull carried out an elaborate, carefully performed experiment that detected the pressure of light and confirmed James Clerk Maxwell's prediction of this extremely delicate effect. More and more, students with a serious interest in physics went to Germany for graduate work, and came back, building up a corps of young physicists whose accumulated expertise before long began training the next generation here. The result was that by the time of World War II, the nation had built up a highly competent, motivated generation of physicists whose exploits transformed the discipline and brought it to world prominence.
Dan Gifford, Manager, Museum Advisory Committees, and Project Historian: I guess my favorite is actually a whole bunch of stories—women's stories. One of things I find fascinating about the history of charities and giving in American history is the role of women. Women in the 1800s were incredibly active and successful fundraisers, running charitable organizations that often were basically large, complex businesses. And this gave women access to financial worlds, contracts, investments, bookkeeping, etc. –realms that supposedly were reserved just for men. So the history of charities is in part the history of women gaining access to that kind of power… and of course, ultimately demanding more.
Jon Grinspan, Jefferson Fellow, Division of Political History: Alcohol is inherently political, and has been from the start of the country. Some campaigners have used it to rile up voters, or as a cheap give-away to win friends, while others opposed alcohol, preached Temperance and Prohibition, and saw it as the root of all evils, from poverty to prostitution to domestic violence.
Most important, alcohol blurs the line between politics and culture, which is really what I'm most interested in. It makes it impossible to distinguish what parts of a campaign are about ideologies and personalities, and what parts are about getting drunk and hollering in the street.
@amhistorymuseum When was electricity considered a "necessary" part of building a home?
Harold Wallace, Curator in the Division of Work and Industry: That depends on who's doing the consideration. Building buyers began demanding electricity in the 1890s in urban areas. But building codes are set at the local and state level and they vary widely. Most codes began including electrical sections in the early 20th century and not all require a building to be electrified. Even today, people can build a recreational cabin, for example, and if they don't want electricity, they don't have to install it. Some interesting history here.
@amhistorymuseum Jon, another Q on where alcohol & politics intersect: What do you think about drinking games and debates/returns watching?
Jon Grinspan, Jefferson Fellow, Division of Political History: There's a long history of drinking before, during, and after debates, not just in taverns but in the public square and even in Congress. Before amplification, when debates were held by two shouting men in a town square, the drinking often got out of hand and many spectators couldn't hear the candidates. We have records of all these debates, including the Lincoln-Douglas debates, but very often the audience just heard the drinking going on around them.
And in the Capitol, especially before the Civil War, congressmen often drank openly while their colleagues were speaking. Rachel Shelden wrote about it in her book on the social lives of congressmen before the Civil War.
As for me, I'm not much of a drinking-game guy. I don't like to have to wait for an excuse to pour myself another drink, especially when the debates get dull.
Monica Smith, Exhibition Program Manager, Jerome and Dorothy Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation: From an invention perspective, I'd say the construction is extremely interesting because it provides insights on the inventive process of the inventor making it. What problem were they trying to solve and why? Then how did they design the solution? Did they do sketches? Build prototypes? What materials did they test and end up selecting? How did they tinker and tweak their design? The 3D product is just the tip of the iceberg of a fascinating creative process!
Jon Grinspan, Jefferson Fellow, Division of Political History: P.T. Barnum's American Museum, in lower Manhattan, in the 1830s through 1860s. He put up something like 10,000 exhibits a year, and always kept his visitors guessing. He often went too far, but no one ever did more to define American museums, or popular culture. I'd like to get to watch a flimflam-artist like Barnum at work.

Ellison Die Cuts are made of high quality birch block with steel blades. Made to stand the test of time. The Ellison SureCut Die - Clothespin Critter, Spider - Double Cut is the perfect addition to any die set.


You are purchasing a group of 8 individual Runes - The First Aett Group. A full set usually includes 24 - 25 Runes. This is the Small Size, for the Runes. Which makes them very portable (and more affordable). These Runes are great for Casting, and Reading. They are small enough that they should all fit comfortably in your hand for shuffling, though for casting, you wont likely cast all 25 at once.
Important: Each Aett is sold separately. This allows you to order the groupings in different colors, to help your Readings to have more clarity. We recommend this approach. You can also purchase a separate Blank Rune, often called the Wyrd Rune. And you can choose a color for that also. You likely would want it to be a different color than all the other groupings (Aettir).
Travel: We would recommend that you search online, and purchase a small bag to hold these Runes in. This is a standard approach for most Rune Stones. And it will work well for these Custom Runes.
Travel option, that is still in the design stage, is that we will likely be offering a custom case, made specifically to hold these Runes. Note: 3d Printing is an amazing new technological solution, but it is not cheap yet. So, the more affordable solution is to use your own bag, or buy a nice one online. The case will likely be a bit pricey. But it will be custom designed, and it will be made specifically to hold a set of 25 Small Futhark Runes. Designed by Dallas Good.
Material Note: This small version will not be as strong as the Medium size. (The Large version is not available at this time.) Keep in mind that if you print these in plastic - they will be plastic. This means that though they will still be fairly robust, and if treated well, will likely last you a long time - there are sturdier materials that you could use for printing.
Metal Prints: We have offered these runes if various types of metals, which will likely have the longest shelf life. Usually, due to the cost of 'custom metal prints', you might want to start out with a strong plastic version. Then if you find that you like the set, you might consider ordering them in metal, which would likely be strong enough to last you for a lifetime.
