April 19. British troops march into the small town of Lexington at about 5:00 a.m. to find themselves faced by a militia company of more 70 men led by Capt. John Parker. When the vanguard of the British force rushes toward them across the town green, Parker immediately orders his company to disperse. At some point a shot rings out-historians still debate who fired it-and the nervous British soldiers fire a volley, killing seven and mortally wounding one of the retreating militiamen. The British column moves on toward Concord, leaving the dead, wounded, and dying in their wake. https://www.battlefields.org/learn/revolutionary-war/battles/lexington-and-concord
Killed: Ensign Robert Munroe (on the Common), Isaac Muzzy (on the Common), Samuel Hadley and John Brown (leaving the Common), Jonas Parker (killed by bayonet after being wounded and firing one shot), Jonathan Harrington (wounded on the Common, died at his doorstep), Caleb Harrington (at the meetinghouse), Asahel Porter (prisoner from Woburn, killed while escaping). https://www.lexingtonminutemen.com/captain-Parkers-company-of-militia.html

April 19, 1775: At about 5 a.m., 700 British troops, on a mission to capture Patriot leaders and seize a Patriot arsenal, march into Lexington to find 77 armed minutemen under Captain John Parker waiting for them on the town's common green. British Major John Pitcairn ordered the outnumbered Patriots to disperse, and after a moment's hesitation the Americans began to drift off the green. Suddenly, a shot was fired from an undetermined gun, and a cloud of musket smoke soon covered the green. When the brief Battle of Lexington ended, eight Americans lay dead or dying and 10 others were wounded. Only one British soldier was injured, but the American Revolution had begun.
Only withe the hand of Providence could we have taken out the world's #2 army and #1 navy, especially with a rag-tag bunch of angry farmers with pitchforks.

Q Research General #19782: WHY THE [Y] COMMS ARE IMPORTANT Edition
In the spring of 1775, the Colonial Governor of Massachusetts was determined to disarm the rebellious citizens and arrest their leaders. Prior to April 19, 1775, Thomas Gage had sent his troops out twice to seize arms and arrest patriots. Both of the previous ventures had failed thanks to good intelligence, spying, on the part of the colonial citizens.
On the night of April 18, 1775, Gage ordered his officers to muster their men and secretly move them to Concord to seize or destroy any and all arms and "military stores" and to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock. As you should have learned in school, the British Regular troops, Redcoats, encountered the local Massachusetts Militia mustered on Lexington green led by Captain John Parker. Regardless of who it was that fired the first, the Regular troops rushed the "damned, rebels" and fired into them. Eight American patriots died in Lexington.
Rather than cower and flee from what was, at the time, the most powerful army on Earth, the Massachusetts Militia send out the alarm and rallied meeting the Redcoats again on the North Bridge in Concord. This time, when the Regular forces fired on the advancing militia, those men fired back and charged ahead. During the initial melee, 3 British soldiers were killed and 9 wounded. It was only around 8 a.m. The Massachusetts Militia engaged the strongest army on Earth as they retreated back to Boston all day long. In the end, the American patriots suffered 49 dead and 39 wounded. The British Regulars lost 73 killed, 174 wounded, and over 50 men captured. The all volunteer force of the Massachusetts Militia were pipe hitters.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - 1775 April 18
Revere and Dawes warn of British attack
On April 18, 1775, British troops march out of Boston on a mission to confiscate the American arsenal at Concord and to capture Patriot leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock, known to be hiding at Lexington. As the British departed, Boston Patriots Paul Revere and William Dawes set out on horseback from the city to warn Adams and Hancock and rouse the Minutemen.
By 1775, tensions between the American colonies and the British government had approached the breaking point, especially in Massachusetts, where Patriot leaders formed a shadow revolutionary government and trained militias to prepare for armed conflict with the British troops occupying Boston. In the spring of 1775, General Thomas Gage, the British governor of Massachusetts, received instructions from Great Britain to seize all stores of weapons and gunpowder accessible to the American insurgents. On April 18, he ordered British troops to march against Concord and Lexington.
The Boston Patriots had been preparing for such a British military action for some time, and, upon learning of the British plan, Revere and Dawes set off across the Massachusetts countryside. They took separate routes in case one of them was captured: Dawes left the city via the Boston Neck peninsula and Revere crossed the Charles River to Charlestown by boat. As the two couriers made their way, Patriots in Charlestown waited for a signal from Boston informing them of the British troop movement. As previously agreed, one lantern would be hung in the steeple of Boston's Old North Church, the highest point in the city, if the British were marching out of the city by Boston Neck, and two lanterns would be hung if they were crossing the Charles River to Cambridge. Two lanterns were hung, and the armed Patriots set out for Lexington and Concord accordingly. Along the way, Revere and Dawes roused hundreds of Minutemen, who armed themselves and set out to oppose the British.
Revere arrived in Lexington shortly before Dawes, but together they warned Adams and Hancock and then set out for Concord. Along the way, they were joined by Samuel Prescott, a young Patriot who had been riding home after visiting a lady friend. Early on the morning of April 19, a British patrol captured Revere, and Dawes lost his horse, forcing him to walk back to Lexington on foot. However, Prescott escaped and rode on to Concord to warn the Patriots there. After being roughly questioned for an hour or two, Revere was released when the patrol heard Minutemen alarm guns being fired on their approach to Lexington.
About 5 a.m. on April 19, 700 British troops under Major John Pitcairn arrived at the town to find a 77-man-strong colonial militia under Captain John Parker waiting for them on Lexington's common green. Pitcairn ordered the outnumbered Patriots to disperse, and after a moment's hesitation, the Americans began to drift off the green. Suddenly, the "shot heard around the world" was fired from an undetermined gun, and a cloud of musket smoke soon covered the green. When the brief Battle of Lexington ended, a handful of Americans lay dead and several others wounded. The American Revolution had begun.

Q Research General #15228: Barr Leaving, Sessions Activated? Edition
2/2
On the night of April 18, 1775, as Paul Revere was making his famous ride through the Lexington, Massachusetts countryside yelling, "The British are coming! The British are coming!" he was headed for a particular house; the house of pastor Jonas Clark. Jonas Clark was a pastor in Lexington and on Sunday afternoons after church, he and Deacon John Parker, a captain from the French Indian War, had been organizing the Lexington men into a citizen army to fight the British if they invaded. On the night of April 18, Clark had two special guests staying in his home, Samuel Adams and John Hancock. The British had heard of Adams' and Hancock's whereabouts and they were marching toward Lexington to capture them.
As Revere rode up to the front yard of Clark's home, Clark, Adams, and Hancock ran out to meet him. When they heard that the British were marching toward Lexington, Adams and Hancock asked pastor Clark if the men of Lexington would fight. Clark responded, "I trained them for this very hour; they would fight, and, if need be, die, too, under the shadow of the house of God."
The next morning, April 19, 1775, Pastor Jonas Clark and Deacon John Parker led the Lexington "Minutemen" out to face the invaders. As the British approached the Minutemen, they cried out "in the name of the King of England throw down your arms." This response rang out from the colonists, "We recognize no Sovereign but God and no King but Jesus!" Then Captain Parker said to his Minutemen, "Stand your ground, don't fire unless fired upon. But if they mean to have a war, let it begin here." Then the first shot rang out, the shot heard around the world.
These are just three examples of the courage and commitment exhibited by many of the colonial pastors in the days before and during our nation's War of Independence. These men saw no contradiction between standing for the truths in God's Word and the principles of liberty. In fact, they viewed the two as inseparable. These "black robed patriot preachers" fanned the flames of liberty as they not only encouraged their congregations to fight but were also willing to actually lead their men onto the battlefield. These preachers fought.
The British viewed these pastors such a force, they called them the "Black Robed Regiment." King George III blamed the war on the preachers by calling it a "Presbyterian rebellion." Horace Walpole, the English Prime Minister, said, "There is no use crying about it. Cousin America has eloped with a Presbyterian parson." Although Presbyterian preachers were certainly involved, preachers from practically every denomination joined in the fight.
Today, many believe that had these pastors not been involved, America may never have been born. Now contrast this with the behavior of most American preachers today. In the face of gross abuses of our liberties by an over-reaching federal government that is moving our nation, with ever increasing speed, down the road to Socialism, most pastors are shamefully, strangely silent. Instead of leading their people to boldly and publically stand for liberty and truth, they seem content to huddle in their churches, behind their pulpits, while the country falls apart.
We desperately need a modern generation of preachers like Muhlenberg, Caldwell, and Clark - preachers who'll fight. We need a new "black robed regiment" to boldly lead our citizens to defend our biblically based Constitution. Thankfully, the fight right now is not one of bullets and bombs but is one of words and wills. But make no mistake about it; a war is raging for the heart and soul of America.
Jesus said that we must "render to God the things that are God's and render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's." In America, Caesar is "we the people." America's government is not in D.C. or in state capitols; it is in our homes and our churches. We are the government. We cannot obey Jesus by staying uninvolved. We must enter the fight for liberty and truth or our freedom to speak and worship as we see fit may soon be lost forever.
Like John Muhlenberg in 1776, I believe "There is a time to preach and a time to pray. But there is also a time to fight, and that time has now come!" God give us patriot preachers to lead the way.

Q Research General #11923: The Information Warfare Continues Edition
"Facing the threat of rebellion, British General Thomas Gage hoped to prevent violence by ordering the seizure of weapons and powder being stored in Concord, Massachusetts, twenty miles northwest of Boston. Departing Boston late in the evening on April 18, 1775, the King's troops marched into the small town of Lexington at around 5:00 AM. the next morning. Waiting to greet them was a small company of militia commanded by Captain John Parker.
A shot rang out - historians still debate who pulled the trigger. Nervous British soldiers then fired a volley, killing seven militiamen and mortally wounding another. Parker's men fled, while the British soldiers moved on towards Concord, arriving around 8:00 AM.
By the time the British arrived at the North Bridge, a force of almost 400 colonial militiamen from Concord and the surrounding area had gathered on the high ground across the river. The Minute Men formed up and advanced on the British, who responded by retreating back across the bridge and taking up a defensive position. When the British troops opened fire, the Minute Men responded with a volley of their own, killing three British soldiers and wounding nine others. The British troops fell back to the town."
The British, realizing their vulnerability, decided to return to Boston. Their retreat turned into a rout, however, as thousands of militiamen attacked the British column from all sides. Shooting from behind trees, rocks, and buildings, the Patriots inflicted heavy casualties on the retreating Redcoats.
By the time the fighting stopped, the British had lost 73 men killed and many more wounded, compared to the Patriots' loss of 49 men killed."

…"The Minute Men formed up and marched down the hill. As they did so, the British soldiers, intimidated by the colonial numbers and orderly advance, retreated to the opposite shore and prepared to defend themselves. When Davis's company came within range, British soldiers opened fire, killing Isaac Davis and also Abner Hosmer, another Acton Minute Man. Major Buttrick of Concord shouted, "For God's sake, fire!" and the Minute Men replied with their own volley, killing three British soldiers and wounding nine others. This volley is the volley considered "the shot heard round the world." The rest of the British troops retreated back to town.
John Parker Smith and Pitcairn soon ordered a return to Boston, which devolved into a rout as thousands of minute men patriots descended on the area. As the British were attacked from all sides by swarms of angry Minutemen along what is now known as Battle Road. When they reached Lexington, John Parker and his men had their revenge, firing on the British regulars from behind cover. For the next 12 miles, the British were continually ambushed by Minutemen shooting from behind trees, rock walls, and buildings. The emotions of this fight carried well beyond April 19, inspiring American warriors to "rise up and fight again" even in the face of staggering odds against them."

On April 19, 1775, British and American soldiers exchanged fire in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord. On the night of April 18, the royal governor of Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage, commanded by King George III to suppress the rebellious Americans, had ordered 700 British soldiers, under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith and Marine Major John Pitcairn, to seize the colonists' military stores in Concord, some 20 miles west of Boston.
A system of signals and word-of-mouth communication set up by the colonists was effective in forewarning American volunteer militia men of the approach of the British troops. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Paul Revere's Ride" tells how a lantern was displayed in the steeple of Christ Church on the night of April 18, 1775, as a signal to Paul Revere and others.
At Lexington Green, the British were met by approximately seventy American Minute Men led by John Parker. At the North Bridge in Concord, the British were confronted again, this time by 300 to 400 armed colonists, and were forced to march back to Boston with the Americans firing on them all the way. By the end of the day, the colonists were singing "Yankee Doodle" and the American Revolution had begun.

US Air Force's new trainer jet could become its next light-attack or aggressor aircraft
Boeing-Saab's T-X trainer design won the Air Force's T-X competition in September 2018. (John Parker/Boeing)
ORLANDO, Fla. - The U.S. Air Force's new T-X jets could be more than just trainers, with aggressor or light-attack missions now on the table for the Boeing-made plane, the head of Air Combat Command said Thursday.
Although buying new T-X trainers to replace the more than 50-year-old T-38 fleet still remains a top priority for that program, the service is beginning to explore whether the T-X could be procured for other uses, Gen. Mike Holmes said at the Air Force Association's Air Warfare Symposium.
"You could imagine a version of the airframe that could be equipped as a light fighter. You can imagine a version that is equipped as an adversary air-training platform," he told reporters during a roundtable.
"At the informal level, I have some guys that work for me that are thinking through what the requirement might be for those different versions. When or if that transitions and becomes something more formal will depend on a lot of things," he said, adding that one of those variables is the budget.
So what T-X variants could the Air Force pursue?
A light-attack T-X
The Air Force still hasn't made clear its path forward on the light-attack experiment, but leaders have said they want to broaden the effort to include aircraft beyond the turboprop planes, which were the focus of the first experiments. The T-X, or a low-cost jet like it, could have a role, said Holmes, who declined to get into specifics until the fiscal 2020 budget is released with more details.

Connecticut police announce arrest tied to spate of synthetic pot overdoses
Connecticut authorities revealed Friday that a man was arrested in relation to the investigation of several dozen synthetic pot overdoses that occurred in the state this week.
John Parker, 53, was taken into custody Wednesday and was discovered with more than 30 bags of K2, the synthetic marijuana linked to more than 100 overdoses, police said.
Parker was hit with drug-related charges after authorities found him with the K2, Police Chief Anthony Campbell said.
The area around the New Haven Green near Yale was where many of the overdoses occurred, starting on Wednesday. Multiple people who were affected by the drug identified Parker as someone who'd been dealing it in the area, Campbell said.

Harland & Wolff is most famous for having built all of the ships intended for the White Star Line including the ill-fated RMS Titanic.[1]
Other well known ships built by Harland & Wolff include Titanic's sister ships RMS Olympic and RMS Britannic,
the Royal Navy's HMS Belfast, Royal Mail Line's Andes, Shaw Savill's Southern Cross, Union-Castle's RMS Pendennis Castle, and P&O's Canberra.
Harland & Wolff was formed in 1861 by Edward James Harland (1831-95) and Hamburg-born Gustav Wilhelm Wolff (1834-1913, in the UK from age 14).
When Harland died in 1895, William James Pirrie became the chairman of the company until his death in 1924. Thomas Andrews also became the general manager and head of the draughting department in 1907.
It was in this period that the company built Olympic and her sister ships Titanic and Britannic between 1909 and 1914,
commissioning Sir William Arrol & Co. to construct a massive twin gantry and slipway structure for the project.

Being an influence in the boardroom is a way of life for the National Grid chairman.
"I have been on 12 quoted company boards, eight of which I have chaired, over the past 25 years," says National Grid chairman Sir John in his Northern Irish brogue, passing me a sheet listing them all.
The list includes three dual-listed companies - cruise ship operator Carnival (London and New York), pallets giant Brambles (London and Sydney) and paper group Mondi (London and Johannesburg).
<pallets & paper are made from "timber & lumber" >>1622702
There are also two major demergers - Lattice Group from BG Group and P&O Princess from P&O - as well as two sales to foreign companies (P&O to DP World of Dubai and concrete group RMC to Mexico's Cemex) - and two major mergers (Lattice with National Grid and P&O Princess with Carnival).
As well as chairing National Grid, his current portfolio of non-exec jobs includes companies in the Middle East (DP World), continental Europe (aircraft-maker EADS Airbus), South Africa (Mondi) and the US, where Carnival is also the only company to be a member of both the FTSE 100 and America's benchmark S&P 500 index.
Somehow Sir John, knighted in 2001 for services to defence and shipbuilding, also finds time to be a senior non-executive director of the Court of the Bank of England, a member of the Prime Minister's Business Council for Britain and Chancellor of Southampton University. No wonder he carried off the top award at the Non-Executive Director Awards set up by investment bank KBC Peel Hunt earlier this month.
Sir John believes there are "three pillars" around which to run a company
Even now, he remains true to his shipping roots as governor of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and a member of the General Committee of Lloyds Register of Shipping.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - 1775 April 18
Revere and Dawes warn of British attack
On April 18, 1775, British troops march out of Boston on a mission to confiscate the American arsenal at Concord and to capture Patriot leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock, known to be hiding at Lexington. As the British departed, Boston Patriots Paul Revere and William Dawes set out on horseback from the city to warn Adams and Hancock and rouse the Minutemen.
By 1775, tensions between the American colonies and the British government had approached the breaking point, especially in Massachusetts, where Patriot leaders formed a shadow revolutionary government and trained militias to prepare for armed conflict with the British troops occupying Boston. In the spring of 1775, General Thomas Gage, the British governor of Massachusetts, received instructions from Great Britain to seize all stores of weapons and gunpowder accessible to the American insurgents. On April 18, he ordered British troops to march against Concord and Lexington.
The Boston Patriots had been preparing for such a British military action for some time, and, upon learning of the British plan, Revere and Dawes set off across the Massachusetts countryside. They took separate routes in case one of them was captured: Dawes left the city via the Boston Neck peninsula and Revere crossed the Charles River to Charlestown by boat. As the two couriers made their way, Patriots in Charlestown waited for a signal from Boston informing them of the British troop movement. As previously agreed, one lantern would be hung in the steeple of Boston's Old North Church, the highest point in the city, if the British were marching out of the city by Boston Neck, and two lanterns would be hung if they were crossing the Charles River to Cambridge. Two lanterns were hung, and the armed Patriots set out for Lexington and Concord accordingly. Along the way, Revere and Dawes roused hundreds of Minutemen, who armed themselves and set out to oppose the British.
Revere arrived in Lexington shortly before Dawes, but together they warned Adams and Hancock and then set out for Concord. Along the way, they were joined by Samuel Prescott, a young Patriot who had been riding home after visiting a lady friend. Early on the morning of April 19, a British patrol captured Revere, and Dawes lost his horse, forcing him to walk back to Lexington on foot. However, Prescott escaped and rode on to Concord to warn the Patriots there. After being roughly questioned for an hour or two, Revere was released when the patrol heard Minutemen alarm guns being fired on their approach to Lexington.
About 5 a.m. on April 19, 700 British troops under Major John Pitcairn arrived at the town to find a 77-man-strong colonial militia under Captain John Parker waiting for them on Lexington's common green. Pitcairn ordered the outnumbered Patriots to disperse, and after a moment's hesitation, the Americans began to drift off the green. Suddenly, the "shot heard around the world" was fired from an undetermined gun, and a cloud of musket smoke soon covered the green. When the brief Battle of Lexington ended, a handful of Americans lay dead and several others wounded. The American Revolution had begun.
