As an individual, I am uploading this for informational value, I do not endorse any beliefs held in this speech. – Esoteric Riddler Introductory Note: Benjamin H. Freedman was one of the most intriguing and amazing individuals of the 20th century. Mr. Freedman, born in 1890, was a successful Jewish businessman of New York City who was at one time the principal owner of the Woodbury Soap Company. He broke with organized Jewry after the Judeo-Communist victory of 1945, and spent the remainder of his life and the great preponderance of his considerable fortune, at least 2.5 million dollars, exposing the Jewish tyranny which has enveloped the United States. Mr. Freedman knew what he was talking about because he had been an insider at the highest levels of Jewish organizations and Jewish machinations to gain power over our nation. Mr. Freedman was personally acquainted with Bernard Baruch, Samuel Untermyer, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Joseph Kennedy, and John F. Kennedy, and many more movers and shakers of our times. This speech was given before a patriotic audience in 1961 at the Willard Hotel in Washington, DC, on behalf of Conde McGinley’s patriotic newspaper of that time, Common Sense. Though in some minor ways this wide-ranging and extemporaneous speech has become dated, Mr. Freedman’s essential message to us — his warning to the West — is more urgent than ever before.

A bustling, cosmopolitan city with professional sports teams, natural and man-made wonders, cultural and historical sites, and a wide variety of flavors and entertainments, Seattle will enchant every member of the family. While you are there make sure you check out:

Space Needle: The world-famous Space Needle was built in anticipating of the 1962 World’s Fair. From the world-class cuisine served in the rotating restaurant at the top of the tower, to the Seattle Center at its base, the Seattle Space Needle is a must for every visit.

Seattle Center: This is the fairgrounds upon which the Space Needle was erected. Today it is still a hive of activity with rides, concession stands, art displays and a fascinating water fountain. It is also where visitors go for Paul Allen’s Experience Music Project.

Pike Place: Pike Place Market is a charming collection of fresh produce stands, fish vendors, antique sellers and small-time entrepreneurs all nestled next to quaint restaurants. All this provides a background for innovative street entertainers and the gawking visitors that flock to this Seattle landmark.

Ballard locks: Ships pass between Puget Sound and Lake Washington via the Hiram Chittenden Locks, affectionately known as “Ballard Locks” by locals. During the season of the salmon run, kids and adults will be fascinated by the sight of colorful salmon climbing the fish ladder as they swim upstream. Take a picnic and relax on the beautifully landscape surroundings while you watch the squirrels scampering around.

Seattle Pacific Science Center: This museum is anything but the typical collection of old artifacts and historical displays. Instead there’s an IMAX Theater, a planetarium, and a fascinating butterfly house. Frequently the Center hosts different traveling exhibits.

Safeco Field / Quest Field: Years ago the Seattle Mariners, Seattle’s professional baseball team, and the city’s football team, the Seattle Seahawks both received new stadiums on the site of the old Kingdome. Baseball games are played in Safeco Field, while football fans flock to Quest Field to watch the Seahawks. Both stadiums are state-of-the-art, built both for view and functionality; but don’t expect a limit menu of hotdogs. Fans find a wide variety of foods designed to satisfy their hunger between cheers and beers.

Pioneer Square: Pioneer Square is a cosmopolitan neighborhood that has seen over 100 years. Its newest reincarnation is as a prime destination for downtown activities, with nightclubs, bookstores, internet cafes, bookstores and numerous galleries. Don your walking shoes and set out to explore and enjoy all the attractions of this lively neighborhood.

Boeing Tours: Visit Boeing’s Everett plant, just north of Seattle about 30 miles. There are daily tours of the aircraft-manufacturing facilities, where you can look down on the entire process from the catwalks high above all the activity below. There are height and age requirements, so check before leaving if you plan on taking the little ones.

Seattle Aquarium: Seattle’s Pier 59 is home to more than just some fantastic seafood restaurants. It’s also home to the Seattle Aquarium where visitors will be fascinated by all the amazing and captivating creatures on display.

Washington Ferries: Anyone who knows anything about the Pacific Northwest knows that ferries are a typical mode of transportation in this area of the West Coast. Whether you drive on with your vehicle or just walk on, you can relax and watch seagulls, sea lions and even occasionally a distant whale, and leave the driving to the ferry.

Ilkhom Theatre Company / Sharing a Vision: Tashkent to Seattle

January 2nd, 2012

Internationally celebrated Ilkhom Theatre Groups performance at Seattles ACT Theatre earlier this year is captured in Ilkhom Theatre Company/Sharing a Vision: Tashkent to Seattle. The troupes much-anticipated Seattle debut included two works: White White Black Stork and Ecstasy With the Pomegranate. This presentation is the result of a collaborative effort between ACT, the University of Washington’s School of Drama and Ilkhom. UW has a long-standing connection to Ilkhom and its artistic director, Mark Weil. Weil first came to Seattle representing Ilkhom as part of a “Sister City” exchange in the ’80s. In the ’90s his daughter enrolled at UW, and eventually his wife and other daughter settled in Seattle. The family was introduced to the School of Drama’s Executive Director, Sarah Nash Gates, who hired Weil to direct Nikolai Erdman’s The Suicide for the school in 2002. Since 2003, 10 UW drama majors have traveled to Tashkent to work with Ilkhom first hand. To see more videos from the University of Washington visit uwtv.org.
