Now being mailed to subscribers -- Revisionist History Newsletter no. 68


Between 1688 and 1815 about a quarter million white people became the slaves of Britain's mercantile-military sea power. Michael Hoffman furnishes a fascinating new account of this suppressed epoch. Sections include: Enslaving British whites — a vestigial power of the Crown; Admiralty Law comes to shore; Capitalism's alibi for impressment-slavery exposed; State security trumps Liberty; Poor whites as hereditary naval slaves; the Legality of Impressing Seamen.

Also in this issue: NSA Surveillance — Treason to the 4th, 5th and 7 Amendments to the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. Plus: Machiavelli’s Ideology of Command; Washington Navy Yard Shootings; Wall Street Pays Petraeus; Hoffman’s “Usury” book reviewed by Economist Anthony Santelli, and more.
