Do you ever wonder how things go sideways in the world sometimes? Well, a lot of times. Even today. History has an answer for you, and it's blunt. Many times, it's not what you would expect. Come on in and join us. I turned the lights on for you.

Do you know the best place to hide something or someone? Despite an ocean of information, we must be willing to look if we seek truth. Many times, it hides in plain sight. I have the lights on. Come on in and join us.

History is like a river. What is at the surface may not reflect the true undercurrents and the contents of its travels. Join us on this continuing journey as we explore two seemingly unrelated historical events. The lights are on.

You have to deal with the cards you have; sometimes, the unexpected can create a butterfly effect. Chicago and 1920 are an exciting combination. Join us. The lights are on.

What do Congressman Dan Sickles, a famous Italian Composer and the Attorney General for the District of Columbia, have in common? Not Reconstruction or the Centennial. Come on and join us. The lights are on.

James Madison and Lord Acton had some critical words—insights relevant then and today. What happens when the fox is running the hen house? Let's say it's interesting and can be a bit messy. Join the journey. The lights are on.

What do the Aurora, Porcupine Gazette, Mathew Lyons, James Callender, Jefferson, Hamilton, and the political elite have in common? The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. Come and join us on the Red Pill Diary. The lights are on.

It's interesting how history rhymes. What a deceptive web people weave. Sometimes, people get away with a lot of stuff, but history has a way of revealing things. It may not happen immediately, but it eventually surfaces, even 30 years later. Don't let treason get in the way of a good deal, but you better be artistic in your tradecraft.

If you thought history and modern events were different, think again. What interesting webs people weave. You know there's nothing new under the sun. Join the continuing journey in the Red Pill Diary.

Near the end of this Trace, near an inn, stands a monument approximately 72 miles from Nashville, Tennessee. This monument was erected in 1848, 39 years after the individual’s death, using funds from the State of Tennessee rather than the U.S. government. A fitting end to an American Hero? But wait, there is more to this story. Join the story.
