Major Themes in Animal Farm
• Power Corrupts: The pigs begin as liberators but become tyrants, twisting “All animals are equal” into “Some animals are more equal than others.”
• Betrayed Revolution: The dream of equality collapses as the pigs mirror the humans they replaced.
• Propaganda: Squealer manipulates language and truth to control thought and justify lies.
• Class Inequality: A new elite (pigs and dogs) emerges while others remain exploited.
• Ignorance as Control: The animals’ lack of education keeps them submissive and easy to deceive.
• Cycle of Tyranny: The rebellion ends where it began with oppression under new masters.

NOW - Trump says 600,000 Chinese students coming to the U.S. is a pro-MAGA stance because "you would have half the colleges in the United States go out of business... I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else."

There should be exactly zero Chinese on American soil.

China’s Law Requires Its Citizens Abroad to Aid CCP Intelligence — And the U.S. Welcomes 300,000 of Them Each Year

November 6th 1865
CSS Shenandoah Surrenders to British government in Liverpool England marking the end to the War to Prevent Southern Independence.
The Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of Rebellion November 5 – Arrived in the Mersey, off Liverpool, and on Monday, the 6th, surrendered the Shenandoah to the British nation, by letter to Lord John Russell, premier of Great Britain. (signed) JAMES I WADDELL.[13]
THE CONFEDERATE CRUISER SHENANDOAH IN THE MERSEY. Considerable excitement was caused on 'Change yesterday morning by circulation of the report that the Confederate cruiser Shenandoah, of whose exploits amongst the American whalers in the North Pacific so much has been heard, was passed about 8 o'clock by the steamer Douglas at anchor at the bar, of Victoria Channel, apparently waiting for high water. By many the report was discredited, it being thought that those on board the Douglas were in error, and had mistaken some other craft for the celebrated ex-Confederate cruiser. At half past ten, however, all doubts on the point were set at rest, with the Shenandoah steaming up the Victoria Channel with the Palmetto flag flying from her masthead.[9] from The Virginia Flaggers

Translation:

“A creature seen in Rome on the Ripa Maiore, on the third day of November in the year of salvation 1523, of the size of a five-year-old child, exactly in the form as depicted here.

GERMAN: A strange creature, given in 1523.

The marine monster which we paint here, wherever it exists, is called either a sea Pan or a sea Satyr, or Ichthyocentaurus, or Damon marinus.

I received the image from a certain painter: he said he had seen the skeleton of such a monster in Antwerp. Another person reported a similar monster, dry, brought from Norway to Lower Germany, male and female, which they say can confirm the likeness of similar monsters, shown recently to us. Since this is human in appearance above the waist and horned, we will call it a sea Pan or a sea Satyr.

A certain fish of the Pan type is called a cetacean, in which a stone can be found that, when heated by the sun, is useful for philtres; Aesop records this from Mithridates, and Suidas in the lexicon.

In the sea around the island of Taprobane, some whales are said to resemble Satyrs in appearance and likeness, according to Aelianus.

Under Pope Eugene IV, in the city of Sibenico in Illyricum, a marine man was captured who drew a child to the sea. He was wounded by currents and stones, and brought ashore. His figure was almost human, except that his skin resembled an eel’s, and he had two small horns on his head. His hands showed only two fingers each. His feet seemed to split into two tails, which extended like wings to his arms, as in a bat.

Baptista Fulgosius describes more in our History of Aquatic Creatures, particularly regarding the Triton.

GERMAN: F. Rein Seertcifel”
