David Livingstone - Wikipedia. David Livingstone (; 1. March 1. 81. 3 – 1 May 1. Scottish Congregationalist, pioneer medical missionary with the London Missionary Society, an explorer in Africa, and one of the most popular national heroes of the late- 1. Victorian era. He had a mythical status that operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working- class . It is this power which I hope to remedy an immense evil. At the same time, his missionary travels, . Livingstone, I presume? David was employed at the age of ten in the cotton mill of Henry Monteith & Co. He and his brother John worked twelve- hour days as piecers, tying broken cotton threads on the spinning machines. He was a student at the Charing Cross Hospital Medical School in 1.

He extensively read books on theology, travel, and missionary enterprises. This rubbed off on the young David, who became an avid reader, but he also loved scouring the countryside for animal, plant, and geological specimens in local limestone quarries. Neil feared that science books were undermining Christianity and attempted to force his son to read nothing but theology, but David's deep interest in nature and science led him to investigate the relationship between religion and science. Influenced by revivalistic teachings in the United States, Livingstone entirely accepted the proposition put by Charles Finney, Professor of Theology at Oberlin College, Ohio, that . For Livingstone, this meant a release from the fear of eternal damnation. Monteith's Blantyre cotton mill were also important from ages 1. This monotonous work was necessary to support his impoverished family, but it taught him persistence, endurance, and a natural empathy with all who labour, as expressed by lines that he used to hum from the egalitarian Rabbie Burns song: .

A local Roman Catholic named Daniel Gallagher helped him learn Latin to the required level. Later in life, Gallagher became a priest and founded the third oldest Catholic Church in Glasgow: St. Livingstone werd geboren in Blantyre, een plaats op een tiental kilometer van Glasgow in Schotland in een klein appartement van een huurkazerne, Shuttle Row. Simon's, Partick (originally named St. A painting of both Gallagher and Livingstone by Roy Petrie. In addition, he attended divinity lectures by Wardlaw, a leader at this time of vigorous anti- slavery campaigning in the city. Shortly after, he applied to join the London Missionary Society (LMS) and was accepted subject to missionary training. He continued his medical studies in London while training there and in Ongar, Essex where he and other students were taught Greek, Latin, Hebrew and theology by the Rev. Richard Cecil as part of their training to become ministers within the Congregational Union serving under the LMS. In 1. 84. 0, while continuing his medical studies in London, Livingstone met LMS missionary Robert Moffat, on leave from Kuruman, a missionary outpost in South Africa, north of the Orange River. He was excited by Moffat's vision of expanding missionary work northwards, and he was also influenced by abolitionist T. F. Buxton's arguments that the African slave trade might be destroyed through the influence of . Livingstone, therefore, focused his ambitions on Southern Africa. The lion seriously wounded his left arm, but the broken bone. The house still stands and has a plaque that can be seen outside the house (1. Burnbank Road). He was awarded the Freedom of the Town of Hamilton. He abandoned Chonuane, his next mission in 1. Boers and his desire . Just as important had been the three journeys far to the north of Kolobeng which he had undertaken between 1. Africa to European traders and missionaries by mapping and navigating its rivers which might then become . Such journeys had also been hindered by the opposition of powerful chiefs and tribes, such as the Lozi, and the Lunda of Mwata Kazembe. The qualities and approaches which gave Livingstone an advantage as an explorer were that he usually travelled light, and he had an ability to reassure chiefs that he was not a threat. Other expeditions had dozens of soldiers armed with rifles and scores of hired porters carrying supplies, and were seen as military incursions or were mistaken for slave- raiding parties. Livingstone, on the other hand, travelled on most of his journeys with a few servants and porters, bartering for supplies along the way, with a couple of guns for protection. He preached a Christian message but did not force it on unwilling ears; he understood the ways of local chiefs and successfully negotiated passage through their territory, and was often hospitably received and aided, even by Mwata Kazembe. His motto—now inscribed on his statue at Victoria Falls—was . He was encouraged by the response in Britain to his discoveries and support for future expeditions, so he resigned from the London Missionary Society in 1. According to his Victorian biographer W. Garden Blaikie, the reason was to prevent public concerns that his non- missionary activities such as his scientific work might show the LMS to be . Livingstone had written to the directors of the society to express complaints about their policies and the clustering of too many missionaries near the Cape Colony, despite the sparse native population. In a letter from the directors of the LMS, which Livingstone received at Quelimane, he was congratulated on his journey but was told that the directors were . When he was approached by Roderick Murchison, president of the Royal Geographical Society, who put him in touch with the Foreign Secretary, Livingstone said nothing to the LMS directors, even when his leadership of a government expedition to the Zambezi seemed increasingly likely to be funded by the Exchequer. Livingstone had suffered over thirty attacks during his journey but had deliberately understated his suffering so not to discourage the LMS from sending missionaries to the Kololo. Consequently the missionaries had set out for a marshy region with wholly inadequate supplies of quinine and they had soon weakened and died. However, it turned out to be completely impassable to boats past the Cahora Bassa rapids, a series of cataracts and rapids that Livingstone had failed to explore on his earlier travels. Expedition members recorded that Livingstone was an inept leader incapable of managing a large- scale project. He was also said to be secretive, self- righteous, and moody, and could not tolerate criticism, all of which severely strained the expedition and which led to his physician John Kirk writing in 1. Livingstone is out of his mind and a most unsafe leader. The expedition became the first to reach Lake Malawi and they explored it in a four- oared gig. In 1. 86. 2, they returned to the coast to await the arrival of a steam boat specially designed to sail on Lake Malawi. Mary Livingstone arrived along with the boat. She died on 2. 7 April 1. Livingstone continued his explorations. Attempts to navigate the Ruvuma River failed because of the continual fouling of the paddle wheels from the bodies thrown in the river by slave traders, and Livingstone's assistants gradually died or left him. The Zambezi Expedition was castigated as a failure in many newspapers of the time, and Livingstone experienced great difficulty in raising funds to further explore Africa. Nevertheless, John Kirk, Charles Meller, and Richard Thornton, the scientists appointed to work under Livingstone, did contribute large collections of botanical, ecological, geological, and ethnographic material to scientific Institutions in the United Kingdom. Richard Francis Burton, John Hanning Speke, and Samuel Baker had identified either Lake Albert or Lake Victoria as the source (which was partially correct, as the Nile . Livingstone believed that the source was farther south and assembled a team to find it consisting of freed slaves, Comoros Islanders, twelve Sepoys, and two servants from his previous expedition, Chuma and Susi. He stayed here from 2. March to 7 April 1. Livingstone set out from the mouth of the Ruvuma river, but his assistants gradually began deserting him. The Comoros Islanders had returned to Zanzibar and informed authorities that Livingstone had died. He reached Lake Malawi on 6 August, by which time most of his supplies had been stolen, including all his medicines. Livingstone then travelled through swamps in the direction of Lake Tanganyika, with his health declining. He sent a message to Zanzibar requesting that supplies be sent to Ujiji and he then headed west, forced by ill health to travel with slave traders. He arrived at Lake Mweru on 8 November 1. European to see Lake Bangweulu. Upon finding the Lualaba River, Livingstone theorised that it could have been the high part of the Nile River; but realised that it in fact flowed into the River Congo at Upper Congo Lake. He was saved by Arab traders who gave him medicines and carried him to an Arab outpost. He was coming down with cholera and had tropical ulcers on his feet, so he was again forced to rely on slave traders to get him as far as Bambara—where he was caught by the wet season. With no supplies, Livingstone had to eat his meals in a roped- off enclosure for the entertainment of the locals in return for food. He filled in details of Lake Tanganyika, Lake Mweru, and the course of many rivers, especially the upper Zambezi, and his observations enabled large regions to be mapped which previously had been blank. Even so, the farthest north he reached was the north end of Lake Tanganyika – still south of the Equator – and he did not penetrate the rainforest of the River Congo any further downstream than Ntangwe near Misisi. Only one of his 4. Socialist Labour Party - Further News. Patriarchy, racism, homophobia, anti- Semitism are orthodoxies promoted by clever people throughout history to whitewash the guilt of powerful elites. Far from being challenged, as we are lead to believe, mostly they are shifted in new directions at different targets. On the political right the . The historical hatred of Jews has not subsided. It is simply that a new target has been found. Islam is the alien culture and Muslims prefered as the fifth column. Given Israel’s alliance with the West, it is no surprise that the campaign by some of its more militant supporters to re write the meaning of anti- Semitism in accordance with the new . The core objective of those advocating the idea of . Not in the sense of national sovereignty: rarely do they equate its Arab neighbours with Israel. The acceptance they seek and the standard they use is Israel’s right to equal esteem and entitlement with its allies in the . Ideologically this conflicts with radical left doctrines viewing Israel not as a haven or homeland but as a European colony established by force, supported ideologically by western exceptionalism. Differing from arguments about racism historically, the new anti- Semitism draws on the political allegiances of individuals, represented in this case as . Opposition to Israel looks like a sinister . Viewing anti Zionism as racially motivated would be a huge victory for a world view extreme even by the outlandish double standards of western . Anti Zionism however - viewing Israel as an occupying power - is placed beyond the pale of argument, portrayed shamelessly through the prism of old anti- Semitism. Referring to Zionism as powerful or unaccountable becomes a covert endorsement of . Accepting a definition of anti- Semitism written by Zionists denies the Palestinian experience, turning the case for Palestine into thoughtcrime. Without the Palestinians, the 'repudiation of Israel’s right to exist’ (Howard Jacobson) becomes a denial of Jewish identity, intrinsically anti- Semitic. Anti Zionism is 'associated' with the genocidal instincts of Nazism. Comparing nations targeted for . Slandering the left with the evil of historical anti- Semitism fits the prevailing political narrative well, built as it is on a common aim; avoid addressing the supremacist nature of western foreign policy by denying the oppressed and portraying opposition as . Kim Bryan, 2. 4th October 2. The Miner's pension scheme has had some 'extra' coverage lately in the 'alternative' media. The main stream media is providing its usual silent treatment over the issue which is causing the rise in interest in the subject. This issue is the billions of pounds extracted from the fund by successive British regimes. Following the grotesque political decision of the Thatcher Tory regime to close down most of the British coal industry, large areas of the Country were left desolate, devoid of hope, jobs, futures and investment. The funds creamed off (out of pensions) from these areas by the actions of the right- wing politicians, both Tory and Labour, could have substantially alleviated much of the hardship born by the former mining communities. These areas have generally been left with high levels of unemployment, high rates of drug taking and general decline of infrastructure. It is as if they have been singled out since the 1. Miners' strike for special victimisation. This situation, of course, has historical parallels. One that springs readily to mind is the treatment of the South West after the rising against King James the second in 1. A rebel army was formed to oppose the actions of an intolerant, autocratic monarch. This army, although largely made up of ordinary craftsmen and agricultural workers, had learned the lessons from the English revolution which had deposed King Charles 1. It had former officers of the New Model Army, radicals, including 'Levellers' and other 'progressive' political and religious elements (e. Daniel Defoe). The Leveller colours of sea green were flown in this army. Following the battle of Sedgemoor in Somerset, James 1. Judge Jefferies to wreak vengeance upon the population. His perversion of justice in the 'Bloody Assizes' left mangled bodies strewn over the South West and largescale transportations of rebels to the West Indies. It would have taken decades for the area to recover economically. The comparison with the treatment of the mining communities is strikingly similar. Following the paramilitary and illegal attacks upon miners at places like Orgreave, restrictions on freedom of movement, expression and mutual self- help, many of these communities have been left economically devastated. It is as if the recent British regimes have wanted to hound British miners and their communities to the grave! There is also a close parallel in the political outlooks of the various participants. The reactionary Tory and Labour regimes were confronted overwhelmingly by principled miners with generally progressive and more often than not socialist ideas on how to better their lives and communities. As an historical postscript, the devastation of the South West meant that it was relatively easy for William of Orange to land at Torbay in 1. James. 11. Some progressive political reforms came with this so- called 'Glorious revolution'. Let us hope that the mistreatment of the mining communities will lead indirectly to a future of true Socialism in Britain as a whole. As various commentators, including Dr. Lisa Mc. Kenzie of the London School of Economics, have indicated, there is a very high correlation between the 'No' votes and the working class. The appeals to their 'so- called' natural supporters from the Labour Party were for the most part ignored. Mc. Kenzie has stated, Labour Party spokespersons won't even use the word 'class'. This is ignoring the blatant fact that at least 6. British people in a recent class survey regard themselves as working class. Since Tony Blair years ago said that the working class were disappearing, this amounts to yet another instance of him being detached from reality. The great majority of Labour M. P.'s just don't represent the people that voted for them. Mc. Kenzie has also stated, most Parliamentarians we have at the moment are 'useless'. This is despite the fact that they are some of the most educated Members of Parliament that we have ever had. Unfortunately, the Labour M. P.'s are more interested in pushing their own personal and career interests than standing up for their working class constituents. The Socialist Labour Party has a great opportunity to benefit from this gulf in representation. In January 1. 99. US led coalition began carpet bombing Iraq. The latter's invasion of neighbouring Kuwait was, they said, the perfect cause, since all nations agree the aggressor must be repelled. Dropping more tonnage in less than a month than was dropped by all powers combined in World War II, they massacred a large part of Iraq’s conscript army and destroyed much of the infrastructure of the country.

Back in 1. 97. 5 we were told by the British and European political elite that we were voting on membership of a trading organisation. They didn't tell us that what they really had in mind was a political union or a 'United States of Europe'. They didn't tell us that we would lose the power to make our own laws or that they would form a European Army. They didn't explain the consequences of free movement of labour and capital. They swamped us with false literature whereby they spent nine times more on 'In' propaganda than those of us on the 'left' had available. We now have the opportunity to redress 4. We must all take this opportunity to regain our freedoms and leave this 'gravy train' for the rich which subjects the rest of us to continued austerity. Vote for SOCIALISM- VOTE OUT! It is now clear that the best way to avoid TTIP being inflicted upon us is to leave the EU. President Obama has well and truly given the . He has just arrived in Britain and stated that should Britain leave the EU, then we shall be at the back of the queue as regards trade agreements with the United States. Since the major threat to Britain from the United States is the imposition of TTIP, the Transatlantic Trade and Industry Partnership, then it is superb news that we can dodge this huge potential blight upon our lives by leaving the EU as quickly as possible. TTIP threatens that any resistance to the imposition of mass privatisations, including the NHS, will mean that any British Government can be taken to court by American corporations. It is well known that these corporations, along with the whole American system is highly litigious and there is no doubt that the . The European Union is currently in secret negotiations with the Americans on how to impose this coercive measure. The workers in the EU are not even allowed to know anything about these negotiations! This shows the completely undemocratic nature of the EU. Obama has given us a great opt- out chance from this Doomsday scenario! Cedric Hardwicke - IMDb.
