Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.

Thursday April 16th Meeting #729
The Opening of WWII for Great Britain
Dr. John Beesley, English Born Author, retired after a long career with Xerox (educated in London’s Imperial College and the University of Dallas, BSc, MBA, PhD), will discuss how in mid-1930's Winston Churchill paid a visit to Germany and witnessed first-hand how the Nazi regime was preparing for war. Hitler was a jumped-up corporal from WW1, but now he had a "brown shirt" army. This army was a gang of thugs, who harassed and terrorized anyone who dissented from Hitler's view. (Corollaries to today). One by one, Hitler attacked and conquered neighboring countries and set up regimes of repression. He thought that Britain would capitulate and become an ally, as Italy did. However, after the attack on Poland Britain declared war on the Axis powers. John will explain how, in 1940, Britain was able to hand Hitler his first defeat. (Also, warnings of corollaries to today).
