1817 Giuseppe Bardari (27 May 1817 – 22 September 1861) was an Italian lawyer and writer of the libretto for Donizetti’s 1835 opera, Maria Stuarda. (Mary Stuart).

Pizzo, the small seaside town in southern Italy, where Giuseppe Bardari was born in 1817. After Naples finally fell under the control of Garibaldi on 7 September 1860, the provisional government appointed Bardari Councillor of the Gran Corte dei Conti (the financial court of Naples) and also appointed President of the commission administering the former assets of the Jesuit Order in the territory comprising the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Considered an Italian patriot by Garibaldi despite his service under Francis II, Giuseppe Bardari was on the brink of a new political career in the unified Kingdom of Italy when Bardari died in Naples at the age of 44.

The King of Naples banned the opera “perhaps because his Queen, Maria Christina, was a direct descendant of Mary Stuart” or “the sight of one queen calling another “vile bastard” on the stage of the Teatro San Carlo…was too much for the Neapolitan sensibility”. Professor Weatherson wrote “politics were the cause” in that reputed secret seditious behavior against Elizabeth I by Mary “made the decapitated monarch unpopular in Bourbon Naples”. Wikipedia.

1938 Yellow Jack movie released. Major Walter Reed of the U.S. Army, is to diagnose and treat yellow fever (called “yellow jack”) in Cuba in 1898-1900. The U.S. Army Medical Corps doctors and the Cuban-Scottish doctor Juan Carlos Finlay supposed that the  Microbes were transfered  by bites of infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. This concept which had been ridiculed by the ignorant, jealous, narrow minded know-it-alls, in the fake media and medicine. The dramas portrayed the soldiers who volunteered to be human “guinea pigs” by allowing themselves to live among soiled linen from patients with the disease, and soldiers to be bitten and contract the deadly disease, for which no cure was then known. The theory of vector transmission of Yellow Jack, by mosquitoes, was described by Scottish physician Juan Carlos Finlay.  This discovery solved the loss of crews who were  digging of the Panama Canal. Two hundred years earlier,  the Yellow Jack in Darien (later Isthmus of Panama) ruined Scotland of half its national wealth between the years of 1698 and 1701. Plagues of Yellow Jack in Philadelphia and New York in the early 1790s ruined both cities chance to continue as the national capitol. Movie produced by Jack Cummings (clan Cummings), starring Robert Montgomery (clan Montgomery), Charles Douville Coburn (June 19, 1877 – August 30, 1961) of Scots descent plays Juan Carlos Finlay whose 3 decades of study lead to the discovery that mosquitoes passed yellow jack (and then extrapolated to lice, fleas, ticks, flies for other diseases).

1940 Scotland. Battle of France. Generations of gun control and gun bans had disarmed the Poles, Belgians, Dutch, French, Scots, English and Welsh. They were all to pay very dearly for such short sightedness, even foolishness and stupidity. Terrible and crushing evils would be unleashed on a defenseless and unarmed populace, even the ‘neutrals’. The shock of Nazi attack had devastated Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and France. Next up was Great Britain. Churchill (clan Montgomery) wrote in ‘There Finest Hour’ Chapter ‘The Fall of France, Back to France.’

”There was of course a darker side to Dunkirk. We had lost the whole equipment of the Army to which all the firstfruits of our factories had hitherto been givenL 7,000 tons of ammunition, 90,000 rifles, 2,300 guns, 120,000 vehicles, 8,000 Bren guns, 400 anti-tank rifles. Many months must elapse, even if the existing programmers were fulfilled without interruption by the enemy, before this loss could be repaired.’ P. 142.”

2010 sometime in the spring. Puffin. Each spring nearly a million puffins arrive at the cliffs of Scotland’s west coast to lay their eggs. These birds, with their colorful beaks and doleful expressions, can be seen darting to and from the ocean, gathering mouthfuls of fish for their hatchlings.
