>> well, if you go back to the original book that it was based on by napoleon hill. now, napoleon hill, at the turn of the century, was hired by the richest man in the world, andrew carnegie... >> oh, really? >> he was the richest man in the world and andrew carnegie said to napoleon hill, "i want you to study the richest people on planet earth for the next 20 years and then write a book about it." now, all these people were involved in secret societies, by the way, including henry ford, thomas edison, firestone-- at the time, all the rich people-- j.p. morgan, the banker, were all involved in various secret societies and they had virtual secret knowledge on how to use the law of attraction which was kept secret from the masses. carnegie secretly hired napoleon hill, he was the first breakaway and he wanted the average person to know this information. so napoleon hill first wrote about it in a book called the laws of success in 16 lessons. henry ford got crazy that carnegie allowed these secrets to be revealed, he got the book squashed and all the real secret informa

just the year before napoleon had -- i'm sorry, napoleon had been planning to move french forces up the mississippi, and -- sorry, until the wholly unforeseen success of the haitian revolution destroyed his army. without warning, napoleon offered the entire territory of louisiana which spain had just three years before retrocreeded to france to the united states for $15 million. spain was furious. england was alarmed, especially when it learned the sale was financing napoleon's war on them. overnight the size of the united states doubled even as humboldt and jefferson were meeting jefferson's hand-picked team of

and napoleon was not exactly a bum even though he lost. all of a sudden because democrats have succeeded, they are the greatest political winds in the history of mankind. it all hinged on bart stupak. i commend the democrats. in the end, it was a six-vote margin, right? 218-212. bart stupak had five members with him. he is the guy who flipped at 4:00. it was an amazing deal, but when i watched him explain his vote, it looks like it was a hostage to take it he was a guy who was out of his lead, took abuse that was unbelievable, left and right. in the end he caved. but it was not a thing that in any way was inevitable. >> i thought he got an executive order. >> he did get an executive order. >> give me a break. >> the very people disparaging this executive order overlook the fact that when george w. bush signed an executive order with stanzel research, this was a noble act -- stem cell research, this was a noble act. the emancipation proclamation was an executive order. bart stupak got what he thought was needed, assurance that the hyde amen

shed blood for our independence, many people not knowing that, and then as you know the defeat of napoleon's army by haiti as was talked about, the reparations that had to be paid back caused france to be cash poor and land rich and therefore forced them to settle -- sell the louisiana territory to the united states because it had lost the cash that haiti produced, over 50% of all the commodities of tea and coffee and sugar in europe came from haiti and france lost that and therefore needed the cash from the louisiana sale to havity treasury boosted and -- have its treasury boost the and as a result the expedition began i st. louis and the united states was able then to take the rest of this nation, once again haiti had a tremendous part of this wealth. i guess i will have to yield back the balance of my time. thank you, mr. chair. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. miller: i continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman continues to reserve. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. meeks: it is my honor to recognize the chair of the

been telling you, there's violence it will endt in french in the french revolution that ended with napoleon end. i don't care who the administration is, we are not these people. we can be, but we're not yet. we have tocw understand them, e have to understand their principles. they were godly people. but they were revolutionaries. here are revolutionaries too. this is a revolutionary communist. revolutionary marxist. i don't know what she is. he was in sds in school. these people have been around radical, marxist -- what did barack obama say in his own book, i surrounded myself intentionally with the most radical marxist i could find! if you are doing that in the 60s or at any time, i mean really he's written about it, you're talking about the destruction of the country. you are thinking about revolution, in the 60s, these people were thinking about revolution! how do we have a revolution? we want a revolution! they wanted to start that that's why william ayers and start an actual physical, violent revolution. what stopped them?zx# i think the fact that they knew the chalkboard i showed you

very -- he burned nearly everything he got because napoleon spies were going through his possessions.ather than have them coming -- there's no correspondence between him and meriwether lewis but i don't know of any. you have been a wonderful audience. [applause] >> the virginia festival of the book is held every week in charlottesville and that is where we are covering several panels and several authors. we are outside city hall. three presidents are represented here. thomas jefferson and james monroe. the next panel is women and war. there two authors on this panel. win jamie comes marching home and office there, owners, woman. army nurse corps in the vietnam war. >> i'm excited to be moderating this panel. wars change things. traditions and boundaries and people's lives and we have been at war continuously for the longest period in our history as a country. not many people are working on figuring out how that is affecting us as a nation or how historically affected us, and in the present and what they're learning is important to all of us. i got interested in this general topic in 2

napoleon wrote a book think and become rich. if you explore new ideas you will be amazed at what you come up with. i believe problems are not always money problems but idea problems. the thinking that got you this far will not get you to the next level so you must think big, bold and better. think quantum leap and whatever you do keep thinking positive. how you think so shall you will be. this is willie jolley. visit my website at willie jolley.com to learn secrets to turning your set bass tack backs in to incredible greenbacks and you will headache in the best day ever because you thought you could and you did. have a great day. >>> rebaing. a heads up for all of you weekend drivers the chain bridge will be closed starting tomorrow night and it won't reopen until early monday morning. it will be closed to cars, bikes and pedestrians. crews will finish up the work they did last weekend. follow the message boards to alternate routes. >>> thanks to homeland security grants, first responders in our region have a new way to help you

what happened was you were wellington and not napoleon. >> exactly.hink it all worked out better than anticipated. but way back in the spring senator demint said if we can defeat obama on health care, his presence, he'll be crippled and we'll benefit that from that. we don't think that way. we want to move this country forward and we're willing to work with them to do it. >> rose: does this do anything to change-- let's assume it was an attitude, this is our opportunity to stop the president and we're not going to play any... we're not going to participate by offering up our own proposals, our goal here is to stop the president perhaps, because, honestly we disagree with what he's trying to do but we want to stop him and therefore we're not going to get into a negotiation about our proposals. >> yeah. >> rose: has that changed for the future? >> by the way, i have less concern or objection to efforts to stop the president when there are principled disagreements. what i object to is stopping the president as a political strategy. and that's what we've

the invasion of iraq is probably going to have the same sort of, same sort of ramifications as napoleon's invasion of egypt. maybe, maybe not. it is a very long timeline. >> on the question of engagement with syria, i just want to ask about one specific.which was, back in the summer there was the big attack in central baghdad that in it at the foreign ministry, one of the worst attacks and afterwards, while the key was fairly strong in his statement about syrian involvement. as i remember, the white house reaction after that was, this is something between iraq and syria, kind of distancing. i was just wondering if this the cost of the syrian engagement? it seems like a rather strange reaction for us to have when molly key, who had been very cautious about it blaming syria for everything, a rather strong statement and we kind of said well, that is between those two governments. thanks. >> week, the united states did not want to further complicate the relationship returning baghdad and damascus. but let me say that we continue to use all means to express concern and raise attention to the f

twitter say, you have to play "waterloo" for senator demint and ask him why he decided to be the napoleons this now the republican waterloo that barack obama's passed health care reform? >> we'll find out in november. good morning. thanks for having me. i would encourage all of the viewers to go to repe repealitpledge.com and help us repeal those who voted for this bill. >> is that possible, senator? >> i think it is. if we have a good election in november and americans stand up in 2012 with a new president, i think this is bad enough, joe, we need to make it a long-term objective. most of the parts of this bill don't cut in for three, four years. and there are better ways to make sure americans have quality health care. this bill will not even allow seniors to find a doctor when it's fully implemented. >> so, senator, i've got a son with diabetes. i also have been in a job before where i was worried i was going to be fired -- well, this one. every job i'm always worried i'm aweek away from being fired. and cobra is so expensive. are you telling americans you want to repeal the preexistin

they're developing and the a napoleon-style, with nuclear weapons.m terrorist groups. please start to think of what shape can a multi-aggressive deterrence against a nuclear attack with no address stamp on it, cause such a strategy might look. and you'll realize how intensive and conclusive and concrete we should be in regard to these threats before they materialize. it is not just about hegemonic nuclear capabilities. i do not think the iranians, even if they got the bomb, they're going to drop it on israel or some neighbors, fully understand what might follow they radical. >> [laughter] >> mets technical. >> they have quite decision making process and they understand reality. but it is not just in the nuclear arena. it is also in the hegemonic intentions that they might intimidate neighbors all around the gulf. we might feel very quickly the tail winds that the radicals from all cut or islamic jihad or whatever will feel once iran has this impact, what it will have on their assertiveness, the radical players. not to mention the indirect capacity to

and once again they happen to develop not napoleon-style military, but nuclear weapons, and we cannot take it too easily, and i propose to other not to take it too easily. it's not just the end of any non-proliferation regime. i believe that it started the countdown that was first described by professor graham ellison of harvard in his book, "nuclear terrorism," in another generation of nuclear device in hands of some terrorist groups, and those of you who are acquainted with nuclear strategy, please start think how, what shape can a multi-addressing deterrence against a nuclear attack with no address on it, how such a strategy might look. and you will realize how intensive, concrete and conclusive we should be in regard to these threats before it materializes. and it's not just about nuclear capabilities. i don't think that the iranians even if they got the bomb they're going to drop it immediately on some neighbor before they fully understand what might follow. they're radical, but not total -- [inaudible] [laughter] >> that's a technical term. >> some, they have quite sophisticated
