The Reintroduction of Native Americans into Illinois
This was excellent 👍 thank you and I have always thought the father had this whole thing planned out.. Beautiful little baby boy REST IN LOVE TO LITTLE CHARLIE XXXXXXX-🐇🪽♥️🪽♥️
The attic in Hauptmann's building was directly above his rented suite and accessible only from that suite. The attic floor was only partially finished, with boards nailed to the joists about half way along. The joists themselves were not long enough to run end to end, so two joists were attached together about mid-way, running at right angles to the covered portion. The joists were “staggered” (not butted up to each other) and the floor boards ended at or about the staggered portion, with nails running through the board to each joist. This resulted in a similar “staggered” configuration of nail holes (two each) on the board. Picture a half-floor that you could walk on, but when you reached the middle of the floor all that remained were the exposed joists. If you wanted to walk all the way across, you’d have to hold on to the roof and balance on the joists or risk falling through the insulation and ceiling plaster. This was Hauptmann’s attic. When police searched the attic (not on the first search, I’m told), they noticed that the last floorboard was shorter than the others and did not run all the way across. On closer examination they found a small cut or “tooth” mark in the adjacent board, indicating that a saw had been used to cut the last board. They had no way of knowing when this happened, and the missing portion was not in attic. Without knowing anything else (yet), we can infer these characteristics about the missing piece of board: (1) The missing board would be the same type of wood as the rest of the attic boards. (2) The surface of the missing board would have the same mill plaining characteristics as the surface of the remaining boards. (3) Both sides of the grain on the missing board would match the butt-end of the grain on the remaining portion when the two pieces were joined up. (4) The missing board would have two sets of nail holes (total four) which would be a perfect match with the now-empty nail holes on the staggered joists. (5) If the missing board had been altered by a carpenter’s plane after removal, the plaining characteristics on the board would match the characteristics of that particular plain. (6) If the missing board had been shortened after removal, its grain pattern and markings could still be matched to the remaining board by a draftsman’s rendering as long as the missing piece was small enough. Put another way, the grain and markings on both ends of the boards will show you the natural flow and design of the wood surface, so with a small enough "gap" it's no trick to line the two pieces up, extend the markings from both ends, and produce a simple drawing that shows the missing section. Go to www.nj.gov/state/archives/slcsp001.html and see for yourself (photos #12-18, among others). Study the wood evidence in the Lindberg kidnapping case. Rail 16 of the kidnap ladder gives us proof stronger than any DNA. The evidence is so conclusive and so damming that most Hauptmann apologists simply gloss it over or ignore it altogether. (Shame on them.) As one pundit wisely put it: the evidence is unanswerable. Rail 16 came from Hauptman’s attic. In any drama or discussion about Hauptmann's innocence, or guilt, or half-guilt, or co-conspirators, or Lindberg's involvement, or whatever...start from that point, please. [Read “The Sixteenth Rail” by Adam J. Schrager. It’s all there.]
more people should know about this
The biggest problem with the evidence against Hauptmann is that rail #16, purportedly repurposed from his attic floor was 1/8" THICKER than the adjacent plank. The same plank with supposed matching grain. I can imagine the carpenter planing down a plank to be thinner, but how could he have made the rail THICKER?
Hello guys. I saw your UA-cam channel video. It's very nice. But there was some problem . that is why your videos cannot reach your audience.if you want i can share explain.
He is GUILTY! LINDBERGH had this done!
this helped me so much thank you!
Thank you
Lindbergh was hailed because he was the first to fly from New York to Paris. The others flew from Newfoundland to Ireland, which is a way shorter distance...
Awesome demonstration!
If it took you less than 30 minute to make it’s not art it’s attention
Thank You for a much informative and interesting presentation ... quite fascinating & obviously much effort to present.
I had lived in Wheaton for 14 years and was not aware of the Wheaton Theater.
What a great speaker!
HAUPTMANN WAS INNOCENT AND RAILROADED
Terrible how we just accuse all of these cops an experts as crooked and dishonest. Unbelievable
Haliluya!!!!!! He was involved. Finally !!!
The wood matched And did the handwriting matched. By the way how much ransom money did he have. Lacking ?? Did I mention the ransom money he had. Lol
Hilarious how the perfect people commenting here easily criticize people living 100 years ago. Amazingly sad and pathetic
Let’s see how these clowns ignore all the evidence on BRH.
My Grandfather worked on the Elgin branch bridge when it became a path.
Wanted to say thank you for doing this.
Great conversation
I worked for Chicago Central which was the ICG line....that area of Gary avenue was known for sinking .....after the sale CC used to retamp that every spring..... Canadian National is one of the worst maintained class 1 railways....
Heyyaa! UA-cam recommended me this video on my feed and its really well presented! Kudos to the work that you're doing 😊 Btw I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them. But I'm not really sure if it is the best time?
I JUST WENT THERE IN 2:15 PM 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I LEAVED AT 4:15 PM 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the artist blend the pi gments almost as if it were wet into wet watercolor. The glow is absolutely incredible. Such beautiful pieces
The term artificial intelligence has become meaningless. It literally used to mean the artificial equivalent to a human brain but they call almost anything A.I. now. It is ridiculous.
Excellent Pull Together of Information Thank You 🎩🎩🎩
very difficult person explaining like he doesn't concentrate what he wants to tell
Wonderful informative video. I’ll watch it again and again. Thank you so much!
Watching from Queen Creek AZ
looking forward to watching this
Inspiring and liberating. Enjoyed the presentation and admire the teaching ability that Dan has. So coherent.
Wow im in the Uk and i love your work i hand knit and started making my own charts and portraits they take me weeks my Mum had a knitting machine in the 1980s and i was facinated by it 😊
Yooohoooo!!! Bruno was a criminal before all of this
NOT TRUE ..AN INNOCENT MAN
Easy case. Guilty as sin. Silly to question the ton of evidence. Stop watching movies.
He didn’t have 20 bucks of the ransom money.
UMM AM I THE ONLY ONE TO SEE HOW BAD IT IS TO HAVE 2/3 OF THE RANSOM MONEY IN HIS HOUSE ???!!!
The witness had fine vision prior to that incident. Just repeating bad research here
This was excellent. Thank you.

Love it~ Wonderful live.
It's the kind of infrastructure that really deserves a modern comeback, especially since many American centres grew with them.
Wow guys , just found this ! Been following you on the CGW and now I’m getting more interested in the CA&E , again grew up in Villa Park late 60s early 70s Definitely remember the decline of CGW however CA&E was gone , just remember the big hump as Ardmore Ave crossed over the old ROW Great 👍 Job
Just started in pastels. Loving it. Cute do too
great demo and commentary, learned quite a few things to help my own painting.
Thanks for sharing your insight. Keep working on the change! Am wishing you the best of success because the respect you deserve is well overdue.
Unfortunately, most of the comments below lead to Conspiracy Theories that have NO Evidence to back them up. Pure Sensationalism to sell books, documentaries, speaking gigs, podcasts etc. The Truth is Secondary to Conspiracy.
very good presentation, gels with the prevailing reset narrative of history that this railroad was already there when they say they built it and electricity was in widespread use in the old world and was free for all. historical society history written by the priest class is such a sick joke on the people! ❤
1:00:00 Rail 16 was manufactured by the police. It's such a transparent hoax that it wouldn't pass rational scrutiny by forensic investigators today.
