 finally he met Hitler. Hitler asks again if he is a Jew but he responds by saying that he has a German name. Warburg promises Hitler $7 million payable directly to Warburg via Rhenania Joint Stock Co., the German branch of Royal Dutch in Düsseldorf. The book concludes with considerations by Warburg about predicting anything good on the consequences of these money transfers: The world continues to suffer under a system that has to bow to a Hitler to keep itself on its feet.Poor world, poor humanity!. The NSDAP and Hitler came to power. Epilogue
The book concludes with an unsigned epilogue that has been written in 1946. This epilogue was not written by <mask>. In the epilogue it has been mentioned that Joseph Goebbels wrote the following in his diary Von Kaiserhof zur Reichskanzlei on February 20, 1933: "We are in the process of raising significant funds which will resolve our financial problems at once." However, it is unclear whether this jubilant exclamation from Goebbels refers to the Sydney Warburg transaction. Analysis
The book that has been published under the pseudonym <mask>, De Geldbronnen van het nationaal Socialisme: drie gesprekken met Hitler (Funding of National Socialism: Three Conversations with Hitler), published by Van Holkema & Warendorf's Uitg.-Mij.NV disappeared almost immediately from bookstores. This book dealt with funding received by the Nazi Party in 1929, 1931 and 1933. Franz von Papen recommends the book in his memoirs that were published in 1953. Henry Coston wrote in 1975 that Otto Strasser alone is the author. The editor of the English version of Hitler's Secret Backers wrote in 1983 that the original edition of this book might have been a warning by an individual member of the <mask> family against the coming European war. Pierre de Villemarest wrote in 1984 that the pseudonym <mask> could refer to Georg Bell, a German engineer acting as an agent of Henri Deterding, or the brothers Otto Strasser and Gregor Strasser. According to what E.R.Carmin wrote in 1994 the book is a factual testimony as to Des Griffin. In the introduction of the 2008 edition Karl

 Hammer Kaatee wrote that J.G. Schoup's son had admitted that J.G. Schoup had published under a pseudonym what he had learned himself as a spy about Hitler's financial backers. The author Ben Peri evokes the theme in a pamphlet published in 2011. According to what the journalist Louis Kilzer wrote in 2011, James Paul <mask> is the person named in the book as intermediary, that he is the perpetrator or not. Cees van Hoore described Jean Gustave Schoup in 2014 as follows: ''Schoup was not only a talented writer but also a crook who boasted about his contacts inside the German Sicherheitsdienst.He told the resistance that he could liberate arrested resisters by paying ransom to these German contacts. However, Schoup kept the money for himself. I think this is why Schoup has been liquidated in 1944.' Jasper Wielaert proved previously in 2014 that Schoup, aiming to profit, did indeed cunningly deceive the resistance. Nevertheless, he also arranged hiding places for Jewish people. Above that Jasper Wielaert makes it thoroughly clear that corrupt members of the Rotterdam resistance in 1944–1945 were equally involved in seeking financial gain. Wielaert hints that the individuals involved in the assassination may have been interested in murdering him not just because of his scams, but for their own very personal reasons.Denial
For Jacques Attali, the <mask>burg in question, posing the son of <mask>, <mask> is imaginary, from which no one has carried this name of <mask> It will be worth many family denials and false pamphleteer published in Amsterdam will be awarded to a Dutch journalist scandal. The book was the subject of an indignant denial in 1949, as a signed declaration (an affidavit) by James Paul <mask>, son of one of the two <mask> brothers implicated in the book. See also

On January 4, 1957, <mask>'s mother phoned police claiming that a man who sounded "nervous" called her at her home in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles at around 12 a.m. and told her that he had abducted <mask> from her Los Angeles home. <mask>'s mother went to her daughter's house and discovered a note in the mailbox instructing her not to call the police and that "they" would be in touch with her. Approximately two hours later, <mask>'s then estranged husband Harry Karl also received a call from a male who sounded "like a nervous young kid" also informing him not to call police if he wanted to see <mask> alive again. While <mask> was supposedly being held by her abductors at another home, she telephoned her agent Harold Plant, actor Michael Wilding (whom she was dating at the time), and columnist Harrison Carroll. <mask> told Carroll that two men kidnapped her from her house, demanded that she give them her ring and money and gave her "a shot of something". <mask> later said one of the men discovered her making the call to Carroll; he then took the phone from her, slapped her, blindfolded her and loaded her into a car.According to <mask>, the two men drove with her for some time and discussed taking her to a house in Mexico but, after hearing reports of her kidnapping on the radio, decided against this idea and dumped her on the side of the road. On January 5, a truck driver discovered <mask> on a highway near Indio, California. After being rescued, <mask> told police that on January 4, "two swarthy men" came to her house brandishing a sawed-off gun demanding that she open the door or they would shoot into the

The men then allowed <mask> to put on a robe and slippers and pack a small carrying case. They then forced <mask> into their car where she claimed she was blindfolded and driven to a home. At the home, <mask> said the men forced her to swallow pills which made her drowsy.She also claimed that she was able to make the three phone calls when the men left the room. A doctor who examined <mask> discovered she had two cracked teeth, bruises on her face and abrasions on her neck, legs and cheek but was otherwise unharmed. The doctor concluded that <mask>'s injuries were not consistent with the supposed assault she claimed the two men inflicted on her. Police immediately began to doubt <mask>'s story, which changed several times. Those doubts were furthered when it was discovered that the newspapers which the two supposed abductors used to construct the note found in <mask>'s mailbox were found in <mask>'s fireplace. Upon searching <mask>'s home, police found a copy of the novel The Fuzzy Pink Nightgown, by Sylvia Tate. The book tells the story of a movie star who is kidnapped by two men.One investigator noticed that details in the book matched <mask>'s story. Police then asked <mask> to undergo a polygraph test but her lawyer refused. <mask> agreed to reenact the abduction which the police filmed. <mask>'s estranged husband Harry Karl also doubted the story and claimed <mask> was "not a well woman". He also said that he doubted that two men would have easily abducted her as she would have surely fought back. <mask> then

 accused Karl of orchestrating the abduction for publicity purposes (Karl denied this, calling <mask>'s claims "absurd and ridiculous"). She later admitted that she made up Karl's alleged involvement.After investigating the alleged kidnapping, police admitted that they could find no conclusive evidence that the event took place, due to "perplexing discrepancies". On January 16, a grand jury convened to investigate the kidnapping. <mask> testified that her story changed frequently because she was in shock when she gave her initial statement and had been taking sedatives when she gave other statements. After weighing the evidence, the grand jury could not come up with any conclusive evidence to bring charges against anyone. Death
On October 21, 1965, <mask>'s sixth husband, Donald F. Taylor, found <mask>'s body slumped over her dressing table in their Hidden Hills, California home. On October 30, the coroner announced that <mask>'s death was caused by "active drug intoxication due to multiple drugs" and was determined to be an accident or a suicide.

<mask> (Vilassar de Dalt, September 10, 1850 – Barcelona, 1920) was a Catalan modernisme artist. He was one of the less known painters in the late 19th century and early 20th century in Catalonia, Spain. He was born in Vilassar de Dalt on September 10, 1850. He died in Barcelona in 1920. He is most known for performing some commissions for the Güell family, thanks to his friend and colleague, Antoni Gaudí. Early life
<mask> was born in Vilassar de Dalt, Catalonia, in 1850. Very little information is known about his personal life.He was the youngest child in a large family. He was the son of Villa Teresa Puig and Antonio Pons <mask>. He was primarily raised in Vilassar. Later, he married Gumersinda, a woman from Rues. She was a widow who was originally married to Mariano Ferré Bergues and had two children. <mask> and Gumersinda later had a daughter together, Teresa. Education
When he lived to Reus, Spain, he found his mentor and fellow painter Franco Hernandez.With a good understanding of the basic artistic skills, he went to Barcelona where he enrolled in the Escola de la Llotja where he learned from Claudi Lorenzale. Majority of <mask> <mask>' works were in opposition of Claudio Lorenzale, which led to <mask> being one of Lorenzale's favorite students. Lorenzale was active in a group called the Natzaren painters, which was a group of German painters who were led religiously by Frederick Overbeck. <mask> was a primary disciple of Friedrich Overbeck and was later appointed professor at the Escola de la Llotja. <mask> later went to Paris, France to further his education where he became a pupil of Eugène Carrière. It also is assumed that <mask> took lessons at the Academy of the Palette Utrillo. He moved to Uruguay

 and Rome.Where he worked on mural painting techniques. He also studied the works of Michelangelo and Raphael. <mask>’ best professional years occurred at the turn of the century. He received a minimal amount of social recognition during this time period. These accomplishments allowed him to purchase a home in the Rambla de Catalonia. He also opened a store, where he sold perfumes, gifts, and art objects. Inspiration
The amount of artwork in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were rich in Catalonia, including such artists as Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas, Antonio Gaudi, and Lluis Domenech i Montaner.Many of these people were colleagues as well as competitors in the art world with <mask>. Much of Clapés’ art brought individuals closer to spirituality, mysticism, and prevailing. He quickly gained confidence. Much of his style displayed had been influenced by Overbeck. He had a very colorful palette, closest to El Greco than to Overbeck. The public's lack of interest eventually blossomed into public recognition. His talent did not go unnoticed and quickly entered the studio of S. Juan Hernandez.He specialized in drawings and paintings, who from the outset was considered one of the best and most gifted students. Career

Expo and Gaudi relationship
<mask> participated in an expo in 1888, where he began a close relationship with Antoni Gaudí. Gaudi hired him to work on the decoration of the Palau Güell in 1851. Where, he also held the position of director from 1858 to 1885. <mask> received notoriety for contributing to the paintings that decorated the halls of the palace and the great mural painting which occupied part of the front side. Despite his participation in important projects, such as the Palau Güell and

 La Pedrera, he enjoyed the minor recognition that his talent deserved. Antoni Gaudi's success seem to cloud <mask>' success in the involvement of these projects.Although, Gaudi's success also introduced <mask> to many opportunities that he may not have had without his close relationship with Gaudi. Furniture
Clapés artistic abilities did not limit him to painting. He also excelled in designing carpets and furniture. This included close collaboration with Ibars Josep Ribas, a furniture maker and decorator, including furnishing designs for the Asylum Hospital de Sant Pau. During the construction of Palau Güell, <mask> also "created cabinet doors inserts, including twelve copper plates that contained the representation of apostles, one of whom is believed to be his self-portrait. In the living room are also his paintings that occupy the four corners the room. These are large-scale works and innovative aesthetics that stand to adapt perfectly to the unique architecture Gaudí proposed by tracing angles and beams of the room."Magazine
Clapés established and worked at the Magazine Hispania from 1899 to 1902. The Magazine Hispania was published bimonthly to display modern art and literature. During this time, <mask> was relatively popular. He made many commissions for the wealthy people. However, he was only able to keep it open until 1903 due to the expensive method of printing. Literary competition
On August 14, 1887, a literary contest was held in Vilassar de Mar. An announcement was made on May 22, 1887 including the deadline for submission on July 31, 1887.Vilassar had adopted the model of the Floral Games of Barcelona as a catalyst for revitalization of the Catalan culture.

<mask> of (Liu) Song ((劉)宋明帝) (9 December 439 – 10 May 472), personal name Liu Yu (劉彧), courtesy name Xiubing (休炳), nickname Rongqi (榮期), was an emperor of the Chinese dynasty Liu Song. He became emperor after his violent and impulsive nephew Emperor Qianfei was assassinated in 465, as he was regarded as more lenient and open-minded at first, but he soon turned cruel and suspicious as well after becoming emperor, and during his reign, his nephews and brothers were nearly all slaughtered on his orders, greatly weakening the Liu Song state and contributing to its fall in 479, just seven years after his death. Background
Liu Yu was born in 439, as Emperor Wen's 11th son. His mother Consort Shen Rongji () was a low-ranked imperial consort with the title Meiren (). For reasons unknown, Wen once wanted to put her to death, but she convinced him that killing her would offend the spirit of his deceased wife, Empress Yuan Qigui, and she was spared. In 448, Liu Yu was created the Prince of Huaiyang. In 452, his title was changed to Prince of Xiangdong.Consort Shen died in 453, the same year that <mask> was assassinated by his crown prince Liu Shao, who took over as emperor and subsequently put a number of his brothers, including Liu Yu, under house arrest, but Liu Yu and the other brothers were released when another older brother, Liu Jun the Prince of Wuling, defeated and killed Liu Shao and took the throne himself (as Emperor Xiaowu). <mask> posthumously honored Liu Yu's mother Consort Shen as Princess Dowager of Xiangdong, and Emperor Xiaowu's mother Empress Dowager Lu Huinan took over the duties of raising Liu Yu to adulthood. As he grew, as was customary for Liu Song imperial princes, he was

 rotated through governorships of commanderies and provinces. Liu Yu was regarded as a kind and open-minded man, with substantial literary abilities. He was also said to be grossly overweight. During Emperor Qianfei's reign
In 464, <mask> died, and was succeeded by his son <mask>. Emperor Qianfei was impulsive and violent, and he, after discovering and brutally suppressing a plot to depose him in favor of his granduncle Liu Yigong () the Prince of Jiangxia, suspected his uncles as well, and had them returned to the capital and confined.Of his uncles, he particularly suspected Liu Yu, Liu Xiuren () the Prince of Jian'an, and Liu Xiuyou () the Prince of Shanyang, since they were the oldest. (Another even older uncle, Liu Hui () the Prince of Donghai, was considered so unintelligent that Emperor Qianfei did not view him as much of a threat.) Because these three princes were all overweight, he had them put in cages and weighed as pigs would, and because Liu Yu was the heaviest, he called Liu Yu the Prince of Pigs, Liu Xiuren the Prince of Murderers, and Liu Xiuyou the Prince of Thieves. He often humiliated Liu Yu by putting him in stables and feeding him the way that pigs would be fed. He often wanted to kill Liu Yu, Liu Xiuren, and Liu Xiuyiu, but each time Liu Xiuren flattered him and caused him to change his mind. In one particular incident, he tied Liu Yu up like how a pig would be tied up, and had him delivered to the kitchen, stating, "Today is pig-killing day." Liu Xiuren, however, stated, "This is not the pig-killing day."He angrily asked Liu Xiuren why that was the case, and Liu Xiuren stated, "After your son is born, then kill the pig and take out his entrails!"

 liked Liu Xiuren's joke and did not kill Liu Yu. In winter 465, around the time that Emperor Qianfei created his second wife, Lady Lu, empress, the palace eunuchs were of insufficient number to prepare for the ceremony, so Emperor Qianfei had the eunuchs from the princes' mansions conscripted to help, and Liu Yu had his own eunuch, Qian Lansheng (), observe Emperor Qianfei's actions and report to him. Meanwhile, some attendants of Emperor Qianfei were plotting to kill him, and when he was carrying out a ghost-shooting ceremony (after dreaming of the spirit of a lady in waiting that he had killed), the attendant Shou Jizhi () killed him. (Traditional historians generally hint that Liu Yu was involved in the plot, but not having conclusive evidence, they did not state so conclusively.) With support from the officials and particularly with his brother Liu Xiuren as a major advocate, Liu Yu was declared emperor (as Emperor <mask>). Early reign: victory over Liu Zixun and loss of northern provinces
Emperor <mask> posthumously honored his mother Consort Shen as Empress Dowager Xuan but, because he was raised by <mask>'s mother Grand Empress Dowager Lu, he continued to honor her as empress dowager.He also tried to pacify the empire by promoting the various officials, his brothers, and some of his nephews. (However, he forced Emperor Qianfei's oldest younger brother Liu Zishang () the Prince of Yuzhang, and his sister Liu Chuyu the Princess Kuaiji, both born also of Empress Wang Xianyuan and both of whom participated in his ill-fated governance, to commit suicide.) He created his wife Princess Wang Zhenfeng empress. One of the nephews that he tried to promote, Liu Zixun the Prince of Jin'an,

They accused Emperor <mask> of being an usurper and having unduly killed Liu Zishang. Jing Province (荊州, modern central and western Hubei) and Kuaiji Commandery (the southern shore of Hangzhou Bay), governed by Liu Zixun's brothers Liu Zixu () the Prince of Linhai and Liu Zifang () the Prince of Xunyang, also quickly rose in support. In spring 466, Deng Wan, claiming to have received a secret edict from Liu Zixun's grandmother Empress Dowager Lu Huinan, declared Liu Zixun emperor.Upon the declaration, nearly the entire empire declared for Liu Zixun, with Emperor <mask> only in control of the region immediately around the capital Jiankang. However, Liu Zixun's generals proceeded slowly, believing that Jiankang would collapse on its own due to the lack of food supply. Emperor <mask>'s general Wu Xi () was quickly able to advance east and capture Liu Zifang, taking the commanderies around Kuaiji that had declared for Liu Zixun and securing a food supply. The troops of Liu Zixun and <mask> stalemated for months in the Chaohu region, until <mask>'s general Zhang Xingshi () built a defense post at Qianxi (錢溪, in modern Chizhou, Anhui), upstream from Liu Zixun's main troops commanded by Yuan Yi and Liu Hu (), cutting off their food supplies. As Liu Hu then tried to capture Qianxi to reopen food routes, he was defeated by Zhang and Shen Youzhi, and

texts: Liu Hu and Yuan then fled, with their troops collapsing. Liu Hu fled back to Xunyang, but then left under guise that he was going to set up perimeter defenses while instead fleeing. Xunyang was left without a defense, and Deng Wan contemplated killing Liu Zixun to save himself, but instead was killed by another staff member Zhang Yue ().Shen then arrived and executed Liu Zixun, ending his rival claim. However, Emperor <mask> then grew arrogant in light of his victory. Instead of his initial policy of pardoning those who had declared for Liu Zixun, he began to deal with those who had not surrendered by this point harshly. In particular, at Liu Xiuren's suggestion, he put to death all of the still living sons of Emperor Xiaowu, accusing them (the oldest of whom was 10) of treason, along with several other officials whom he suspected of covertly supporting Liu Zixun, including Empress Dowager Lu's nephews. (Empress Dowager Lu herself had died during the war under suspicious circumstances. A rumor that the Nan Shi found reliable but indicated was not conclusively proven indicated that she had been secretly pleased about Liu Zixun's rebellion, and had tried to poison Emperor <mask> so that Liu Zixun could be successful, but Emperor <mask>, realizing her intent, poisoned her instead.) Late in 466, <mask> created his oldest son, Liu Yu (different character than his own name), crown prince.Emperor <mask>'s reprisals brought an immediate heavy toll for <mask>. When Xue Andu () the governor of Xu Province (徐州, modern northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui), who had earlier declared for Liu Zixun, tried to surrender to him, <mask>, instead of just pardoning Xue, sent a force toward Xue's defense

texts: post at Pengcheng, Xue became fearful that Emperor <mask> had no intent of pardoning him. (Indeed, <mask> did not, and was intending to lead Xue into resisting, and then wiping him out.) Instead of simply resisting, however, Xue surrendered Xu Province to rival Northern Wei. He was joined in this action by Bi Zhongjing () the governor of Yan Province (兗州, modern western Shandong), Shen Wenxiu () the governor of Qing Province (青州, modern central and eastern Shandong), and Cui Daogu () the governor of Ji Province (冀州, modern northwestern Shandong), although Shen and Cui soon changed their allegiance back to Emperor <mask>. Northern Wei forces quickly joined Xue's, and they took up defense position against the attacking forces sent by <mask>, commanded by the generals Zhang Yong () and Shen Youzhi. With Liu Song forces unable to siege Pengcheng effectively, Zhang and Shen Youzhi were forced to withdraw in spring 467, and on their retreat, Northern Wei forces commanded by Yuchi Yuan () sandwiched them with Xue, leading to a major rout.Against Shen Youzhi's protestations, Emperor <mask> ordered him to attack Pengcheng again in fall 467, and Yuchi again defeated Shen Youzhi, ending Emperor <mask>'s efforts at recapturing Xu and Yan Provinces. With Ji and Qing Provinces now completely isolated from the rest of Liu Song, they could not be supplied with fresh troops, and the Northern Wei general Murong Baiyao () forced Cui's surrender in spring 468 and captured Shen Wenxiu's defense post at Dongyang (東陽, in modern Weifang, Shandong), annexing those provinces for Northern Wei. (While Pengcheng would temporarily be taken by Emperor Wu of Liang, the rest of the territory was lost to Southern

 Dynasties forever.) Emperor <mask> also began to be suspicious of his brothers, and in 469, when a plot to make Liu Hui emperor was discovered, Emperor <mask> had his brother demoted and then forced him to commit suicide. He also became displeased at the increasing authorities of Liu Xiuren, and Liu Xiuren, realizing that he was being suspected, surrendered part of his authorities but could not regain Emperor <mask>'s trust. Late reign
Meanwhile, Emperor <mask>'s own conduct also began to decay. For example, in 470, he ordered officials and governors to offer him gifts, and when Sun Fengbo () the governor of Shixing Commandery (始興, roughly modern Shaoguan, Guangdong) only offered guqin and books, and not the treasures that Emperor <mask> was hoping for, he sent poison to Sun to order him to commit suicide, although he soon retracted that order.Also on one occasion, he held an imperial feast inside the palace, and ordered his ladies in waiting to strip for the guests. Empress Wang, embarrassed, covered her eyes with a fan. In anger, Emperor <mask> said, "Your household is so naïve and unaware of the world. Today everyone is trying to have fun, so why are you covering your eyes?" She responded, "There are many ways to have fun. What kind of a scene is it for aunts and sisters to gather to watch naked ladies in waiting and laugh about it? The fun that our household has is different."He became angrier and chased her away. Historical accounts, written during the succeeding Southern Qi Dynasty, indicate that Emperor <mask> was impotent, and that although he had 12 sons, those were the results of his having seized his brothers' pregnant concubines and kept the children if they bore males, or

texts: his having had his concubines have sexual relations with others. (However, the fact that Empress Wang had two daughters, although no sons, may argue against such allegations, because it appeared rather unlikely that Emperor <mask> would do this over female children—indeed, the allegations stated that he would only do this if his brothers' concubines bore males—or that the morally upright Empress Wang would engage in sexual relations with others, thus suggesting that the allegations were made to delegitimize Emperor <mask>'s sons Emperor Houfei and Emperor Shun vis-à-vis Southern Qi.) In addition, Emperor <mask> was said to be suspicious, jealous, cruel, and violent. In addition, he was also superstitious, and his officials and attendants were forced to observe a number of taboos in both language and acts. Whoever violated these taboos would be executed, often in cruel manners, including having their hearts cut open or their entrails pulled out. In 471, Emperor <mask> grew ill, and as Crown Prince Yu was only eight, he was fearful that his brothers would seize the throne, and therefore turned against them.His first target was Liu Xiuyou the Prince of Jinping, who was considered arrogant and violent and often offended Emperor <mask>. Emperor <mask> therefore, when he was out on a hunt with Liu Xiuyou, found an opportunity to have his guards push Liu Xiuyou off his horse and then pounded to death. When this news reached his youngest brother, Liu Xiuruo () the Prince of Baling, the governor of Jing Province, Liu Xiuruo's staff members suggest that he start a rebellion, particularly in light of orders for him to return to Jiankang and then take up Liu Xiuyou's old post at governor of South

texts: Xu Province (南徐州, modern western central Jiangsu), but the cautious Liu Xiuruo did not rebel, but instead reported to South Xu. Meanwhile, because the public believed that Liu Xiuren would become regent if <mask> died, the mid-level officials were all trying to ingratiate themselves with Liu Xiuren and his staff, drawing <mask>'s anger and suspicion, and he forced Liu Xiuren to commit suicide. He then summoned Liu Xiuruo back to Jiankang and forced him to commit suicide as well. The only brother who was spared with Liu Xiufan () the Prince of Guiyang, who was considered to be unvirtuous and incompetent, and therefore not viewed as a threat. Emperor <mask>'s suspicions soon turned to other officials as well.In order to test the attitude of Xiao Daocheng the governor of South Yan Province (南兗州, modern eastern central Jiangsu), he had his strategist Wu Xi deliver a pot of wine to Xiao. Xiao, believing that wine was poisoned, was about to flee to Northern Wei, when Wu revealed that the wine was not poisonous and that <mask> was merely trying to test him, and Wu drank some of the wine first to show Xiao. Xiao then drank the wine, and Wu returned to the capital and vouched for Xiao's loyalty, but his leaking of the non-poisonous nature of the wine was soon revealed. Emperor <mask>, who was already suspicious of Wu's abilities, forced him to commit suicide. In fear, Empress Wang's brother Wang Jingwen (), the commander of the armed forces, tried to resign. Emperor <mask> would not let him do so, and then, suspecting that Wang would take power after Emperor <mask>'s death, forced Wang to commit suicide in spring 472. Emperor <mask> himself died in summer 472, and was succeeded by Crown Prince

<mask> (Arbërisht: <mask>; 29 November 181428 February 1903) was an Arbëreshë folklorist, journalist, lawyer, playwright, poet, rilindas and writer. He is regarded as one of the most influential Albanian writers of the 19th century who played an essential role in the Albanian Renaissance. Biography

Life

His ancestors are believed to have migrated from Dibër County. Born the son of a parish priest of Italo-Albanian Catholic Church in Macchia Albanese in the mountains of Cosenza, <mask> attended the college of Saint Adrian in San Demetrio Corone. Already imbued with a passion for his Albanian lineage, he began collecting folklore material at an early age. Career

Literature

In October 1834, in accordance with his father's wishes, he registered at the Faculty of Law of the University of Naples, but the main focus of his interests remained folklore and literature. It was in Naples in 1836 that <mask> published the first edition of his best known Albanian-language poem, the "Songs of Milosao", under the Italian title Poesie albanesi del secolo XV.Canti di Milosao, figlio del despota di Scutari (Albanian poetry from the 15th century. Songs of Milosao, son of the despot of Shkodra). He was soon forced to abandon his studies due to a cholera epidemic in Naples and returned home to Calabria. His second work, Canti storici albanesi di Serafina Thopia, moglie del principe Nicola Ducagino, Naples 1839 (Albanian historical songs of Serafina Thopia, wife of prince Nicholas Dukagjini), was seized by the Bourbon authorities because of <mask>'s alleged affiliation with conspiratorial groups during the Italian

texts: Risorgimento. The work was republished under the title Canti di Serafina Thopia, principessa di Zadrina nel secolo XV, Naples 1843 (Songs of Serafina Thopia, princess of Zadrina in the 15th century) and in later years in a third version as Specchio di umano transito, vita di Serafina Thopia, Principessa di Ducagino, Naples 1897 (Mirror of human transience, life of Serafina Thopia, princess of Dukagjin). His Italian-language historical tragedy I Numidi, Naples 1846 (The Numidians), elaborated half a century later as Sofonisba, dramma storico, Naples 1892 (Sofonisba, historical drama), enjoyed only modest public response. In the revolutionary year 1848, <mask> founded the newspaper L'Albanese d'Italia (The Albanian of Italy) which included articles in Albanian.This bilingual "political, moral and literary journal" with a final circulation of 3,200 copies was the first Albanian-language periodical anywhere. Before Albania had become a political entity, it had already become a poetic reality in the works of Geronimo <mask>. His vision of an independent Albania grew in the second half of the nineteenth century from a simple desire to a realistic political objective to which he was passionately committed. <mask> was the harbinger and first audible voice of the Romantic movement in Albanian literature, a movement which, inspired by his unfailing energy on behalf of national awakening among Albanians in Italy and in the Balkans, was to evolve into the romantic nationalism characteristic of the Rilindja period in Albania. His journalistic, literary and political activities were instrumental not only in fostering an

 awareness for the Arbëresh minority in Italy but also in laying the foundations for an Albanian national literature. The most popular of his literary works is the above-mentioned Canti di Milosao (Songs of Milosao), known in Albanian as Këngët e Milosaos, a long romantic ballad portraying the love of Milosao, a fictitious young nobleman in fifteenth-century Shkodra (Scutari), who has returned home from Thessalonica. Here, at the village fountain, he encounters and falls in love with Rina, the daughter of the shepherd Kollogre.The difference in social standing between the lovers long impedes their union until an earthquake destroys both the city and all semblance of class distinction. After their marriage abroad, a child is born. But the period of marital bliss does not last long. Milosao's son and wife soon die, and he himself, wounded in battle, perishes on a riverbank within sight of Shkodra. De Rada also published the magazine Fiamuri Arbërit, whose first issue appeared on July 20, 1883 in Cosenza, Italy initially in Albanian in a Latin-based alphabet invented by <mask>, and later with translations in Italian. The journal featured subjects regarding Albanian literature, politics and history quickly became popular among Albanians and was widely distributed. Politics

In 1881, <mask>'s views on Albania's future envisaged a country split into three units based on religion within a federal state.By 1886, <mask> opposed proposals by the Greeks of a Balkan federation and supported remaining separate from Greece as any unification according to him would entail the end of Albanian existence. <mask> maintained a

<mask> (born ), also known as Jayden X, or Activist <mask>, is a alleged political activist and self-identified photojournalist who participated in the 2021 United States Capitol attack film. Before the January 6 attack, <mask> had organized and participated in various protests  related to the Black Lives Matter movement, though BLM organizers explicitly disavowed him, even expelling <mask> from rallies and warning fellow activists to avoid associating with <mask>. On January 6, <mask> entered the Capitol and broke a window. He repeatedly shouted encouragement to fellow rioters. <mask> captured footage of the attack, his own interactions with law enforcement, and the shooting of Ashli Babbitt. After <mask> participated in the Capitol attack, right-wing conspiracy theories falsely accuse <mask> of being affiliated with antifa, though federal authorities had not identified him as such and he has stated that he has no relationship to the antifa movement. By May 2021, <mask> faced eight charges for his involvement in the siege, centered on an allegation he instigated rioters so he could video the violence for sale to news outlets.Early life and family

At the protest, shots were fired into a vehicle and one driver was injured. One man, Jesse Taggart, was charged with attempted murder.<mask> was arrested and charged with rioting, making a threat of violence and criminal mischief.

The protest lasted a couple of hours, during which he was confronted by twenty armed men from Utah Citizens' Alarm. As he began carrying assault rifles to protest, this invited hostility from both the right and the left. In August 2020,  <mask> was filmed giving a speech outside the US Capitol. <mask> spoke of "burning this shit down" and told the crowd "we gotta rip Trump out of that office right over there"  while pointing to the White House;  He added "we ain't fucking waiting til the next election". Lex Scott said that <mask> seemed to have "a death wish" as he thought it would be "cool, or amazing, if he was killed at a protest and it started a revolution".She has also denied <mask> is a member of BLM-Utah and expressed suspicions of his seeking fame, adding he never attended any BLM meetings nor worked alongside them to advance their agenda.

 James brought a bodyguard to a BLM protest;  That individual was arrested on charges of brandishing a firearm. On November 26, 2020, Seattle activists published a memo accusing <mask> of being an agent provocateur seeking to undermine the Black Lives Matter movement:
"<mask> has been kicked from the #SaltLakeCity and #Portland protest scenes due to alarming behaviors including grifting/profiteering, self-promotion/clout chasing, sabotage of community actions, threats of violence, and — maybe most disturbingly — ties to the far-right ...  <mask>'s brother, James, is the co-founder of a pro-Trump org called 'Civilized Awakening,' and has strong ties to Proud Boys — even having spoken at a Proud Boy rally. The brothers' polarized political stances conveniently bolster the other's public personas. Activists in these cities recommend that he be barred from community actions and totally avoided." On December 12, Pro- and Anti-Trump activists traveled to DC. Brawls broke, four people were stabbed.That day, <mask> was escorted from an event at Black Lives Matter Plaza in D.C. after he was identified by activists aware of the accusations against him. That same day, <mask> was similarly evicted from a Pro-Trump event in DC. Participation in the 2021 Capitol attack

Outside the Speaker's lobby, <mask> filmed himself telling others in the crowd that he has a knife;  He later denied having a knife, claiming he "used that to navigate myself to the front of the crowd".Upon reaching the front of the crowd, he tells a law enforcement officer guarding the barricaded door that "We want you to go home. I’m recording and there’s so many people and they’re going to push their
way up here. Bro, I’ve seen people out there get hurt. I don’t want to see you get

Moments after Babbitt was shot, <mask> gave an impromptu interview with a streamer identifying as working for Infowars. Later that night, <mask> and Jade Sacker appeared on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, showing <mask>'s footage of the Babbitt shooting. Detention and FBI interview
On January 7, <mask> was reportedly detained by DC Metro police.On January 7, <mask> was interviewed by FBI agents about the shooting. <mask> said he is not affiliated with BLM or antifa, nor with the pro-Trump crowd, although he supports Black Lives Matter. When asked about the use of antifa hashtags in his social media posts, he rejected being associated with the group, but has stated that he, along with his group, is anti-fascist. He admitted to shouting support during the attack, but claimed he only did these things to "blend in" with the pro-Trump mob. His brother, <mask>, said that he sent the FBI tips about <mask> about a week after the attack. On January 13, 2021, an arrest warrant with three counts related to the DC riot was signed by a magistrate judge.

Well they already broke a window, so you know, I didn't know I hit it that hard. No one got that on camera." One charge, "40 U.S.C.§ 5104(e)(2)(D)", is a specific crime of entering or remaining in the House of Congress without authorization. Arrest and charges
<mask> was arrested in Tooele County, Utah, and appeared before a judge on January 15, 2021. Two computers, two cell phones, and camera equipment were seized by the FBI. He was released with strict pre-trial conditions. He was released as the authorities did not have sufficient proof to keep him in custody, and under the conditions that he keeps a job where he has to work full-time; remains at home except to go to work, church or court; only posts to social media to request jobs; does not leave Utah and surrenders his passport to the authorities; does not work anymore with Insurgence USA though still being allowed to handle its financial transactions and tax returns; has a mental health evaluation; does not possess firearms. By May 2021, <mask> faced eight charges for his involvement in the siege, including an allegation he incited rioters so he could video the violence, later selling the video to news outlets for $90,000, which prosecutors confiscated. Prosecutors alleged <mask> told another individual, "I brought my megaphone to instigate shit.I was like, guys we're going inside, we're fucking shit up... I'm gonna make these Trump supporters fuck all this shit up." Antifa conspiracy theory

<mask>'s involvement in the riots was cited by pro-Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and The Gateway Pundit as part of a false theory alleging antifa's involvement in the riots. Giuliani published a screen shot of a message from <mask> reading "I'm currently working with the FBI to expose and place total blame on <mask> and the 226 members of antifa that

 instigated the Capitol 'riot'". Federal authorities had not identified <mask> as a member of antifa and the FBI had announced on January 8 there was no evidence of antifa involvement in the siege. BLM Utah had for months disassociated itself from <mask> on concerns that he might be associated with the Proud Boys. Claims of being a journalist
<mask> has called himself a citizen journalist and claimed he was at the Capitol attack only as a photojournalist.An FBI affidavit disputes the claim he was a photojournalist, as he had no press credentials. Prosecutors allege that in December 2020,  <mask> publicly denied being a journalist. <mask>'s own recording is a described as a first-person documentary film  he released on YouTube under the title Shooting and Storming of the US Capitol in Washington DC. J. Hoberman, a film critic writing in Artforum, reviewed <mask>'s film, describing it as "cinema as forensic evidence" and comparing it to the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination, while also characterizing it as a "gonzo reportage". Parts of the footage were used in the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump. CNN, NBC News, Australian Broadcasting Corporation and The Washington Post were among the media outlets that paid <mask> for his video. When entering the capitol, <mask> was accompanied by Jade Sacker, a Los Angeles-based independent documentary filmmaker, who was filming <mask> as part of a documentary on him and his brother, James.References

Mary Joan Okum (née Kath; October 27, 1924 – December 8, 2015), known by her performing name <mask>, was an American musical pioneer, recognized as one of the first female rock and roll singers. She is also one of the first artists to gain crossover success from country music to rock and roll. She was the "top name" on the first country music program regularly broadcast on a national TV network. <mask> was one of the first female co-hosts of a successful syndicated  television talk show, and a regular musical performer on popular shows in the 1960s and 1970s. She "was a prime mover in the first days of rockabilly," and is a member of the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Early life and rise to fame
Born in Towanda, Illinois, Kath's parents were Arthur (1899–1977) and Eva Kath (1905–2000). She had a brother, Arthur (1926–2003), and a sister, Eleanor McConkey."I was named after my grandmother Mary, and my grandfather Joe; and my mother added the -an onto the end of it. In spite of the spelling the family pronounced it as Jo Ann," <mask> noted in a 2007 interview. When the family home in Towanda burned down, they moved to Carlock, Illinois, where her father became a tenant farmer. Kath grew up listening to Patsy Montana and her band "The Prairie Ramblers", and was greatly inspired by her. She learned how to yodel from her maternal grandmother Mary, who had emigrated from Switzerland. She started violin lessons when she was five, and her father bought her a "two dollar-and-a half pawnshop guitar" when she was 11. In 1941, aged 16, she was singing and performing on WJBC (AM) in Bloomington, Illinois.At 17, after she graduated from high school, she sent an audition record to KMBC in Kansas City, Missouri, and was signed to a five-year contract to perform on the Brush Creek Follies barn dance show as "Sally Carson," and with a group called The Rhythm Rangers. The show was broadcast nationwide on the Columbia

 Broadcasting Service, and has been described as "one of the biggest music programs in the country" at the time. A newspaper columnist described her opening in Kansas City:

“She walked out into the spotlight and the crowds went ‘Ahhhh!’.” A couple of minutes later she brought down the house! That’s the history in brief of Sally Carson’s first appearance as a regular songstress last Saturday on KMBC’s Brush Creek Follies. You can close your eyes...and even her voice bubbles over with wim, wigor, and witality. Open up though, and the secret is no longer a secret — just look at them golden tresses!”

In 1945, Bill McCluskey, executive at WLW in Cincinnati, first learned of <mask> from a salesman he met on a train who “proceeded to rave about a young teenage country and western singer named Sally Carson who in his opinion was the best in the business..." McCluskey had the girl send a transcription of her singing to WLW. Impressed, he then requested a recording of her singing and yodeling "Train Whistle Blues."He hired her, however because KMBC owned the rights to "Sally Carson" had to change her name. She said "My real name is Mary Jo". He said "Not Country enough" and redubbed her as <mask>. She was promptly featured on Boone County Jamboree, which became Midwestern Hayride Country & Western Radio Program broadcasts and live tours. Her contract with KMBC was voided because she was a minor when she signed it. Once known as Mary Jo, the Yodeling Sweetheart, <mask> now earned the devotion of listeners which would last the rest of her career. She performed regularly with the sister duo she had listened to as a child, the Girls of the Golden West, one of whom was McCluskey's wife.During her years with WLW, <mask> often performed at country music hub Nashville, Tennessee on weekends, including several times at the Grand Ole Opry. On August 26, 1945, she married Glenn Ewins (1920–1964). She returned to

 Illinois with Ewins in 1947 when he took a job at Farmers State Bank where his father was a major stockholder and cashier, and had her only child, Constance, September of that year. In 1950, two masked men entered her home at one a.m., shoved her into a kitchen closet, and demanded to know where her husband was, saying they wanted him to open the bank safe for them. She told them the safe was on a timer and couldn't be opened at night. They absconded leaving <mask> unharmed. In 1952 the Ewins family returned to Cincinnati and <mask> resumed work on Midwestern Hayride.On January 24, 1964, her husband died in a car accident in Cincinnati. <mask> continued radio performances until the end of the 1940s. Some of her radio performances were cut to acetate and released to the public, but she didn't gain prominence as a recording artist until the 1950s. From yodeling sweetheart to rockabilly pioneer
In 1953, <mask> signed with her first record company, King Records in Cincinnati, Ohio. Early in her recording career, she performed country music songs. She soon had top-10 country hits with "Tennessee Wig Walk" and "Seven Lonely Days", each of which sold about 750,000 copies. <mask> started recording rock and roll in a style later called rockabilly.In 1954, she recorded the song "Two-Step Side-Step", written by Murry Wilson, father of the Beach Boys Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson. In 1955, she released her first rock and roll record called "Daddy-O". The song rose to 14 on the Billboard chart and turned <mask> into a rock and roll star overnight. It wasn't until 1958 though that <mask> had another hit, a duet with Rusty York called "La Dee Dah". They soon recorded a Teen Pop song together called "I Let the School Bell Ding-a-Ling". When her contract with King expired, <mask> could have signed with a major label, but declined since it would have required her moving to New York. "I was supposed to sign with

 RCA Victor, but instead I went with Fraternity Records just because it was local.I should have had more sense. I've always wanted to stay in Cincinnati, though, because of my family and profession." She released several different singles for Fraternity, but none was as successful as her King singles. WLW hampered her career by refusing to allow her time off to tour in support of her early recordings, which had sold well overseas, especially in England where her label was Parlophone, which was also The Beatles' label during most of the band's existence. "When the record hit the top twenty nationally, I asked the station if I could take some time off to tour. Management said no. That hurt: I couldn’t promote the record or myself."Some of her records were also released by labels in Germany and the Netherlands. Reflecting on her recording career in the 1980s, she concluded that "the sound on my records was too mixed, part country, part R&B. It got the artists and the public confused, I believe. You to do one thing or the other. People won't accept it unless you focus. You can't have a mixed bag." Later career and personal life
As television eclipsed radio in popularity, <mask>'s engaging personality and beauty allowed her to easily adapt to the visual medium.WLW's TV affiliate, WLWT, featured her prominently in several roles. For two decades she co-hosted and performed on the popular weekday program, the Paul Dixon Show. Their pairing began when Dixon approached her and said, "I’d like to have you with me every day. We fit one another.” The show was perfect for a quick-witted, multi-faceted performer like <mask>, who noted, "The show was off the top of his head. You had to know how to ad lib." Faithful to her country music roots, she was also the "top name" on WLWT's televised version of Midwestern Hayride, which began as a regional program and was eventually the first country music program regularly

In 1958, she and other WLWT luminaries recorded a Christmas album for Ruth Lyons's new record label that sold about 250,000 copies. As busy as her TV schedule was, she hosted Six Star Ranch, a WLW live music radio show transmitted nationwide by the Mutual Broadcasting System. When Dixon's show ended not long after his death in 1974, <mask> semi-retired from show business to Monfort Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, with her second husband, Milton J. Okum (b. 1926), a furniture store owner and magician. They wed in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 2, 1966. Capitalizing on her public appeal, the Okums appeared together in TV commercials for the store.For a couple of years in the mid-1980s, she hosted a weekend country music show on WPFB in Middletown, Ohio. A 2013 look back at the station's history deemed <mask> "[p]erhaps the most beloved DJ that blessed the [station's] airwaves..." Due to her many years on radio and TV and performing in public, she was a household name in Cincinnati and across the country among viewers of the programs on which she was a regular performer. In her 80s, she still performed in public occasionally. For decades <mask> was an indefatigable entertainer. Until her retirement she performed not just on radio and television, but at taverns, county fairs, conventions, trade shows, and countless other venues. Her accessibility, vivacity, and talent made her a headline favorite wherever she appeared. Even at 17, when her career was building momentum, a columnist for the Atchison

In 2014 her fan club celebrated 50 years of continued existence with the same president, Ruth Tatman. March 23, 2015, <mask>'s home town, Towanda, Illinois, honored her with a joint resolution. The resolution invites “our local community and beyond to reflect on the talent and remarkable achievements of the hometown girl who grew up to be a star." Renewed interest in recordings and career
In 1971, BBC disk jockey Jimmy Savile played for his listeners <mask>'s "Tennessee Wig Walk", which had reached number 4 on the British music charts in 1953. According to The Daily Telegraph, the song's "catchy rhythm and pause before the final two notes caught [football] fans’ imagination, and within a few weeks it reverberated with new sets of lyrics – some of them repeatable – round every ground in the country." At the time of her death, the paper reported, the song was still "one of the most often heard of the 8,307 football anthems listed on one specialist website."With a new century and renewed interest in early country and rockabilly music came an upsurge of interest in <mask>'s recordings. In 2000, the CD <mask> Lou - Doin' the Tennessee Walk: The Best of the King Years was released by British Westside Records, featuring all of her King hits. It is rated 4.5 (of 5) stars by AllMusic which calls it "an excellent anthology of an artist whose genre-straddling recordings will appeal to '50s country, rock, and pop music lovers". In 2009, Friction Heat (1953–58), a compilation of 32 of her King and Fraternity recordings, was released by the Great Voices of the Century label.

texts:
<mask> (;  603 – 19 January 639 AD) was the king of Austrasia (623–634), king of all the Franks (629–634), and king of Neustria and Burgundy (629–639). He has been described as the last king of the Merovingian dynasty to wield any real royal power. <mask> was the first of the Frankish kings to be buried in the royal tombs at Saint Denis Basilica. Rule in Austrasia
Dagobert was the eldest son of Chlothar II and Haldetrude (575–604) and the grandson of Fredegund. Chlothar had reigned alone over all the Franks since 613. In 622, Chlothar made Dagobert king of Austrasia, almost certainly to bind the Austrasian nobility to the ruling Franks. As a child, Dagobert lived under the care of the Carolingian dynasty forebears and Austrasian magnates, Arnulf of Metz and Pepin of Landen.Chlothar attempted to manage the unstable alliances he had with other noble families throughout much of <mask>'s reign. When Chlothar granted Austrasia to <mask>, he initially excluded Alsace, the Vosges, and the Ardennes, but shortly thereafter the Austrasian nobility forced him to concede these regions to <mask>. The rule of a Frank from the Austrasian heartland tied Alsace more closely to the Austrasian court. Dagobert created a new duchy (the later Duchy of Alsace) in southwest Austrasia to guard the region from Burgundian or Alemannic encroachments and ambitions. The duchy comprised the Vosges, the Burgundian Gate, and the Transjura. Dagobert made his courtier Gundoin—who incidentally established monasteries in Alsace and Burgundy—the first duke of this new polity that was to last until the end of the Merovingian dynasty. While Austrasian rulers such as Chlothar

 and <mask> controlled these regions through part of the seventh-century, they eventually became autonomous kingdoms as powerful aristocratic families sought separate paths across their respective realms.United rule

Upon the death of his father in 629, <mask> inherited the Neustrian and Burgundian kingdoms. His half-brother Charibert, son of Sichilde, claimed Neustria but <mask> opposed him. Brodulf, brother of Sichilde, petitioned <mask> on behalf of his young nephew, but Dagobert assassinated him and became sole king of the Franks. He later gave the Aquitaine to Charibert as a "consolation prize." In 629, Dagobert concluded a treaty with the Byzantine emperor Heraclius, which entailed enforcing the compulsory baptism of Jews throughout his kingdom. Besides signing this treaty, <mask> also took steps to secure trade across his empire by protecting important markets along the mouth of the Rhine at Duurstede and Utrecht, which in part explains his later determination to defend the Austrasian Franks from the Avar menace. Under the rule of <mask>'s father and like-minded Merovingians, Frankish society during the seventh-century experienced greater integration—the Catholic faith became predominant for instance—and a generally improved economic situation, but there was no initial impetus for the political unification of Gaul.Clothar II did not seek to force his Neustrian neighbors into submission, choosing instead a policy of cooperation. This did not prohibit plunder-raids to replenish the dynastic coffers, which <mask> undertook in Spain for example—one raid there earned him 200,000 gold solidi.

 probably richer than most Merovingian monarchs" and cites for example his assistance to the Visigoth Sisenand—whom he aided in his rise to the Visigothic throne in Spain—and for which, Sisenand awarded <mask> a golden dish weighing some five-hundred pounds. When Charibert and his son Chilperic were assassinated in 632, Dagobert had Burgundy and Aquitaine firmly under his rule, becoming the most powerful Merovingian king in many years and the most respected ruler in the West. In 631, <mask> led a large army against Samo, the ruler of the Slavic Wends, partly at the request of the Germanic peoples living in the eastern territories and also due to Dagobert's quarrel with him about the Wends having robbed and killed a number of Frankish merchants. While <mask>'s Austrasian forces were defeated at the Wogastisburg, his Alemmanic and Lombard allies were successful in repelling the Wends.
