Alamo America Revolution
Alamo America Revolution
Don't you think the Europeans were Terrorist to the Natives?
Why is America so afraid of Terrorism when the Foundation of your Country was founded on the very same basis of Terrorism.
You can point to the Slaughter of The Indians To the American Revolution, The Alamo and the Boston Tea Party all of those events were acts committed by Terrorist Rebels in the eyes of the Enemy or Government of that time.
So what is so Different now?
P.S I in no way endorse Terrorist or Terrorist Behavior.
Yellow Rat, I do not see how Slaughtering off the Indians or Stealing land from Mexicans is considered fighting for Freedom.
Al Qaeda Claims its fighting for freedom also i bet you still will not Justify their actions now would you?
Antarctica.
so if you kill and maim and destroy people its fighting for freedom, but if someone else does it to you that's terrorism. do some of you ever look in the mirror?
we indigenous people know what terrorism looks like. and it looks like many of you.
| | Alamo The $9.76 Rated: NRSynopsis: A sprawling, long-winded, and unabashedly patriotic spectacle, John Wayne's The Alamo provides the definitive motion-picture representation of the 13-day siege that enabled Texas to secure its independence from Mexico. This 1960 epic, a deeply personal project that obsessed Wayne for years and sapped his personal fortune, plays fast-and-loose with historical reality; nonetheless, it admirably conveys the indomitable spirit of the martyred "Texicans" whose heroic defense of an old mission in San Antonio bought precious time for the burgeoning rebel army that ultimately defeated Mexican general Santa Anna. Wayne, who produced and directed the picture (reportedly with some assistance from his old friend and mentor, John Ford), plays Davy Crockett to Richard Widmark's Jim Bowie and Laurence Harvey's William Travis. The battle scenes are lavishly mounted and impeccably staged, but there's more to The Alamo than gunsmoke and cannon fire: James Edward Grant's script is peppered with stirring odes to democracy, and Dimitri Tiomkin complements Wayne's images with one of his most evocative musical scores. MGM's latest DVD release presents the film in its traditional release version of 161 minutes; a longer cut -- the film's "roadshow" version -- appeared on laserdisc some years ago. John Wayne's directorial debut The Alamo is set in 1836: Wayne plays Col. Davy Crockett, who, together with Colonels Jim Bowie (Richard Widmark) and William Travis (Laurence Harvey) and 184 hardy Americans and Texicans, defends the Alamo mission against the troops of Mexican general Santa Ana. There's a lot of macho byplay before the actual attack, including the famous "letter" scene in which Wayne craftily rouses the patriotic ire of his subordinates. Also appearing are Richard Boone as Sam Houston, and Chill Wills (whose somewhat tasteless Oscar campaign has since become legendary in the annals of shameless self-promotion) as Beekeeper. Wayne's production crew was compelled to reconstruct the Alamo in Bracketville, Texas, about a hundred miles from the actual site. Dimitri Tiomkin's score, including "The Green Leaves of Summer," received generous airplay on the Top-40 radio outlets of America. Rumors persist that Wayne's old pal John Ford directed most of The Alamo; cut to 161 minutes for its general release, the film was restored to its original, 192-minute length in 1992.

Hudson Heights: The Alamo of the Revolution
Celebrating Satellite Internet in New Mexico
New Mexico is a state celebrated for its rich cultural history, and contemporary cultural diversity. This southwestern state has been part of the Imperail Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, Mexico, and a territory of the United States. Before all that it was populated by Native American populations during centuries, and is still home to large groups of Navajo and Pueblo peoples. Today, New Mexico is also home to the largest percentage of Hispanics in the United States, some descendants of Spanish colonists, and some recent immigrants from Mexico and various locations in Latin America. With all of that diversity, it is hard to imagine that New Mexico is the sixth most sparsely inhabited state in the Nation.
Where is everyone? Many are not prepared for the rugged, remote landscapes of the Rocky Mountains, the Rio Grande, semiarid plains or the New Mexican desert-like terrain. Beautiful locations to visit, but difficult locales to live, physical barriers have long been the reasoning behind the sparse population of the state. This is not to mention that many areas of New Mexico are protected by the Federal government, like the Carson National Forest, Cibola National Forest, Gila National Forest and Gila Wilderness. Other areas managed by the National Park Service include the Axtec Ruins National Monument at Aztec, the Bandelier National Monument in Los Alamos, and the Old Spanish National Historic Trail. While tourism is high on the list of economic drivers in New Mexico, oil and gas production are the major sources of industry.
This important corridor for trade and migration is being united with assistance from the government encouraging the development of new technologies. Making this possible in even the most remote areas of New Mexico is the availability of satellite internet across teh state. With satellite internet broadband it is finally possible for residents across the state to get connected to fast, reliable internet. The implications are that even the most schools, businesses, and homes will be able to access all the information that people in more densely populated areas have access to. In the development of new and improved technologies, satellite internet connection will be imperative in New Mexico.
New Mexico is home to fine secondary institutions like the Eastern New Mexico University, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, New Mexico State University, and the University of New Mexico. With UNM locations across the state in places like Taos, Gallup, Los Alamos and Valencia, the spreading of available technology will be imperative to student success. In order to build up a strong technological sector, satellite internet will provide students the flexbility to move around the state without worrying that connectivity will not be available.
Expect to see New Mexico on the forefront of technology in the near future with the development of the Albuquerque International Sunport, the state’s primary port of entry for air transportation. Space tourism company, yes, as in outer space, Virgin Galactic intends to operate out of New Mexico as its primary location. Just imagine, soon New Mexico will not only be the gateway to the American southwest, but intergalactic tourism. With satellite internet leading the way, watch New Mexico move to the forefront of the technological revolution.
