Magna Carta Worth £10m Found In Council Archives

 

 

 

 

 

” An edition of the Magna Carta that could be worth up to £10 million has been found after it lay forgotten in a council’s archives.

  The discovery of the version of the historical parchment that established the principle of the rule of law, in the files of the history department of Kent County Council, has been described as an important historical find by an expert.

  The document was found in the archives kept in Maidstone, Kent, but belonging to the town of Sandwich.

  Professor Nicholas Vincent, of the University of East Anglia, who authenticated the document, said: “It is a fantastic discovery which comes in the week that the four other known versions were brought together at the Houses of Parliament.

” It is a fantastic piece of news for Sandwich, which puts it in a small category of towns and institutions that own a 1300 issue.” “

 

 

   The video below from the British Council circa 1946 provides the reader with a brief history of the importance to individual liberty of the Magna Carta . Enjoy …

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Telegraph has much more on this astounding discovery :

 

 

” “Perhaps it is fitting that they belong to a town where Thomas Paine lived, who proposed in his pamphlet Common Sense a Continental Charter for what were then the American colonies, ‘answering to what is called the Magna Carta of England … securing freedom and property to all men, and … the free exercise of religion’.

“Through the American Declaration of Independence, continuing in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Magna Carta still underpins individual liberties worldwide.

  Speaking of the exhibition, the Lord Speaker, Baroness D’Souza, said: “Magna Carta established the principle of the rule of law and equality before the law; for 800 years we have been influenced by its contents and it remains one of the most important political documents in the world, with countries such as the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada tracing constitutional influences back to Magna Carta. “

 

 

    The importance of this document to Western civilization and the concept of universal human rights cannot possibly be overstated . Read it all .

Socialism Explained

 

Ludwig von Mises :

 

 ” In using the term freedom as applied to human beings, we think only of freedom within society. Yet, today, social freedoms are considered by many people to be independent of one another. Those who call themselves “liberals” today are asking for policies which are precisely the opposite of those policies which the liberals of the 19th century advocated in their liberal programs. The so-called liberals of today have the very popular idea that freedom of speech, of thought of the press, freedom of religion, freedom from imprisonment without trial — that all these freedoms can be preserved in the absence of what is called economic freedom. They do not realize that, in a system where there is no market, where the government directs everything, all those other freedoms are illusory, even if they are made into laws and written up in constitutions.

Let us take one freedom, the freedom of the press. If the government owns all the printing presses, it will determine what is to be printed and what is not to be printed. And if the government owns all the printing presses and determines what shall or shall not be printed, then the possibility of printing any kind of opposing arguments against the ideas of the government becomes practically nonexistent. Freedom of the press disappears. And it is the same with all the other freedoms. ”

….. my cold , dead fingers

” The National Rifle Association (NRA) warned the United Nations on Wednesday that the effort to
craft international rules for weapons sales will go nowhere in Congress if it includes civilian
arms.

the treaty if it covers civilian weapons, fearing an infringement of America’s gun rights. ”
