Role of history in restoring rights

Many right wing commentators and historians cite the intent of the late 18th century statesmen / politicians to justify what human rights should be respected by our current government.

In discussions on the Tom Woods Show with guests such as Marco Bassani, the talk often seem to expect the United States government to be constrained by the Constitution and the original sovereignty of the American colonies.

It seems that they expect that if the general public knew and understood the way the government was supposed to work based on original intent, that there would be a ground swell of support to limit the role of the federal government.

Wikipedia proposal

Wikipedia has an article about Worcester’s Temple Emanuel Sinai.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Emanuel_Sinai_(Worcester,_Massachusetts)

The article has a photo section.

I think it would be an enhancement to add a snippet about the mobile ark.

Wikipedia requires that only information that is published elsewhere is included. Enameling with Professionals shows the ark on page 120, and https://bachrachtechnology.com/wp/enamels-of-lilyan-bachrach/ now has an article that references the ark, I believe inclusion in Wikipedia will be acceptable to the editors.

Here is the current version of what I plan to submit to Wikipedia for inclusion either after the Facilities section or in the photo gallery

*****************

Temple Emanuel portable ark (c. 1968 – 2005). Nationally renowned enamelist and Worcester resident, Lilyan Bachrach[1], enameled six 12″ steel squares that were attached to sliding panels. Anthony La Rocco, a woodworking craftsman and teacher at the Worcester Center for Crafts, built the black walnut wood structure. The enamel pieces are displayed in the current Temple Emanuel Sinai building on Salisbury St. Worcester, MA

Another reason to like Bitcoin

Excerpts from: msn post
The msn article may disappear, see the Washington Examiner for the original story.

 In a recent interview with Fox Business, he blasted Bitcoin as a “scam.”

“I don’t like it because it’s another currency competing against the dollar,” he said. “The currency of this world should be the dollar. And I don’t think we should have all of the Bitcoins of the world out there. I think they should regulate them very, very high. It takes the edge off of the dollar and the importance of the dollar.”

Bitcoin opponents lose a talking point

Many opponents of bitcoin express fears that it increases crime because bitcoin payments are untraceable. A story in the June 8, 2021 Wall Street Journal disputes that claim when explaining how the Feds recovered part of the ransom that Colonial Pipeline paid:
