That bit about Washington being the eighth president of the United States.

I mean, he blows us all away with the RRHOF, the Superbowl, WOrld Music Awards, etc. etc..... the the PFU stuff blows up.

I think the whole Oprah show was a carcrash. I mean it was already out in the media, and yet they were pretending nothing was wrong. Mayte looked heart-broken. It was creepy and really illustrated what a bubble Prince lived in.

And those other seven were not presidents of the United States under the US Constitution. They were short-term leaders under the Articles of Confederation.

Thomas Jefferson is on the $2 bill. He was the third president under the US Constitution.

July 1862...

And here is the the first leader of this place called america, John Hanson a black man.

1781-1782 A.D.??? George Washington was really the 8th President of the United States! George Washington was not the first President of the United States. In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson.The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large
amounts of land). Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress. As the first President, Hanson had quite the shoes to fill. No one had ever been President and the role was poorly defined. His actions in office would set precedent for all future Presidents. He took office just as the Revolutionary War ended. Almost immediately, the troops demanded to be paid. As would be expected after any long war, there were no funds to meet the salaries. As a result, the soldiers threatened to overthrow the new government and put Washington on the throne as a monarch. All the members of Congress ran for their lives, leaving Hanson as the only guy left running the government. He somehow managed to calm the troops down and hold the country together. If he had failed, the government would have fallen almost immediately and everyone would have been bowing to King Washington. In fact, Hanson sent 800 pounds of sterling silver by his brother Samuel Hanson to George Washington to provide the troops with shoes. Hanson, as President, ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as the removal of all foreign flags. This was quite the feat, considering the fact that so many European countries had a stake in the United States since the days following Columbus. Hanson established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents have since been required to use on all official documents. President Hanson also established the first Treasury Department, the first Secretary of War, and the first Foreign Affairs Department. Lastly, he declared that the fourth Thursday of every November was to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today. The Articles of Confederation only allowed a President to serve a one year term during any three year period, so Hanson actually accomplished quite a bit in such little time. Six other presidents were elected after him - Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788) - all prior to Washington taking office. So what happened? Why don't we ever hear about the first seven Presidents of the United States? It's quite simple - The Articles of Confederation didn't work well. The individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon. A new doctrine needed to be written - something we know as the Constitution. And that leads us to the end of our story. George Washington was definitely not the first President of the United States. He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today. And the first seven Presidents are forgotten in history

Best thread ever!
funny because its true

I just did a quick check on who was on the painting of the two dollar bill. The source is Johnhanson.net. Here is what I found out:


[img]In fact, John Hanson was never a member of the Continental Congress. He didn't serve as a Delegate until 1781 after the Continental Congress was replaced by the United States in Congress Assembled by the Constitution of 1777. The 1776 Delegate member Innis circles as John Hanson the Black Moor on the $2 Bill is actually George Walton of Georgia.

There was no photography in 1783 when President Hanson died so such a photograph is a physical impossibility. The picture of the “Moor,” John Hanson, shown in this video and in the Innis article is actually a Sixth-plate daguerreotype, ca. 1856 (http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/trr033.html) of John Hanson the 19th century Liberian Senator from Grand Bassa County who championed the relocation of slaves et al to Liberia.

Finally, President Hanson was the 3rd President of the United States in Congress Assembled, not the first. He was preceded by Samuel Huntington (1st) and Thomas McKean (2nd). On my website, johnhanson.net, I have an image of the letter signed by Hanson as President thanking Thomas McKean for serving as President. The picture utilized on the website is John Hanson who was not a Black Moor. For more go to uspresidency.com.

[/img] John Hanson, the Pres, was a white planter from England, not Sweden as some sources reported, according to most researchers.

god, there are so many...

in no particular order:

chemtrails
microchip
the name change
the "god told me to" reasons for the black album non-release and the name change
"the cross" becomes "the christ"
theocratic order
suing the fansites
the crystal ball fiasco
most of the crystal ball album
the NPS album
the ongoing lotusflower.com site fiasco

are just a few that leap to mind.

i used to hate that he didn't give interviews and talk about politics, religion, and so on. now i would give anything to go back to those days where he just sang.
