...when the Great Emperor died in exile, but this little boy would
become 30 years the author of a new thinking that will inspire

In Memoriam

Today marks the 184th year of the death of the Graet Leader's
greatest inspiration, and ancestor, as the GL's Grand Father
George claimed and convinced him of the validity of the claim.
Napoleon Bonaparte died on the island of Saint Helene
in 1821, prisoner of the British Empire and its lack of vision.
May 5th always has been a day of mourning for the Great Leader,
and this year is no difference, however he will not attend the Mass
in memory of the death of Emperor Napoleon I and the soldiers
of the Grande Armée at the church of Saint-Louis des Invalides,
Paris, he invites the People of Leaderonia to visit this precious
collection of documents, Napoleon.org.

Le 5 mai 1821 Napoléon Ier s'éteint dans l'île de Sainte-Hélène où il était exilé depuis 1815. Il est inhumé aux abords d'une source, à l'ombre de quelques saules pleureurs, dans la "vallée du Géranium". Sa dépouille mortelle y demeure jusqu'au 15 octobre 1840. C'est en 1840 que fut décidé par le roi Louis-Philippe le transfert du corps de l'Empereur. Des marins français, placés sous le commandement du prince de Joinville, ramènent son cercueil en France à bord du navire la "Belle Poule".
Des funérailles nationales accompagnent le retour des cendres de l'Empereur Napoléon Ier, transférées aux Invalides le 15 décembre 1840 en attendant l'édification du tombeau. Celui-ci est commandé en 1842 par le roi Louis-Philippe à l'architecte Visconti (1791-1853), qui fait réaliser sous le Dôme d'importantes transformations en perçant une immense excavation pour accueillir le tombeau. Le corps de l'Empereur Napoléon Ier, y est déposé le 2 avril 1861.
Le tombeau, façonné dans des blocs de porphyre rouge de Russie, placé sur un socle de granit vert des Vosges, est cerné d'une couronne de lauriers et d'inscriptions rappelant les grandes victoires de l'Empire. Dans la galerie circulaire, une suite de bas-reliefs sculptés par Simart figurent les principales actions du règne. Au fond de la crypte, au-dessus de la dalle sous laquelle repose le Roi de Rome, est érigée une statue de l'Empereur portant les emblèmes impériaux.
 
L'Eglise du Dôme abrite aussi les sépultures de deux des frères de Napoléon, Jérôme et Joseph Bonaparte, de son fils, l'Aiglon, ainsi que celles, plus récentes, des maréchaux Foch et Lyautey. Le musée de l'Armée est responsable de ces espaces.

Kim-Il-Sung Birthday

Born in Pyongyang in 1912, Kim-Il-Sung fought in the moun-
tains of Manchuria against colonial Japan. After the Japanese
defeat at the end of World War II, the Soviet Union installed
him to rule the northern half of the Korean peninsula.

His rule went unchallenged until his death, when his son Kim
Jong-il inherited power as chairman of the powerful National
Defense Commission. The junior Kim never took the title of
president, in deference to his father.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Excitement and joy reigned in NorthKorea, official media reported, as the impoverished, secretivestate celebrated the 93rd anniversary of the birth of KimIl-sung, its founder and eternal president.

Pyongyang was pulling out all the festive stops for Kim'sbirthday, which it calls "the Day of the Sun."

Former Indonesian president Megawati Sukarnoputri was inthe capital to attend the opening of the annual Kimilsungiafestival, celebrating the flower named after the late "GreatLeader."

Floral tributes were placed beneath Kim's statues acrossthe country, North Korean media said.

Around the world, meanwhile, admirers from Kyrgyzstan toMongolia and from Congo to Peru were reported to have met topraise the former guerrilla leader's exploits.

Kim died suddenly in 1994 at the age of 82, one month aftermeeting former U.S. president Jimmy Carter, who had gone toPyongyang to help broker a deal to end the crisis over NorthKorea's nuclear weapons ambitions.

Born in Pyongyang in 1912, Kim fought in the mountains ofManchuria against colonial Japan. After the Japanese defeat atthe end of World War II, the Soviet Union installed him to rulethe northern half of the Korean peninsula.

His rule went unchallenged until his death, when his sonKim Jong-il inherited power as chairman of the powerfulNational Defense Commission. The junior Kim never took thetitle of president, in deference to his father.

A television documentary broadcast in North Korea on Fridayshowed previously unreleased footage of Kim Il-sung giving animpromptu rendition of a song that tells of yearning for one'smother.

"As I was leaving home/Mother stood weeping at thegate/Have a safe trip, she said/Her voice rings in my ears,"Kim sings, swinging his fist in time to the music as solemnparty officials look on.

The narrator in the documentary, showing Kim in his lateryears and carried on South Korea's Yonhap news agency Web site,said the song was a Kim favorite from his days as ananti-Japanese guerrilla chief.

While North Koreans in their tens of thousands visitedPyongyang landmarks on Friday to pay respects to the deadleader, several million others were believed to be starving indifferent parts of the country, human rights activists said.

International aid agency Caritas issued an urgent appealthis week for $2.5 million in donations to provide food,medical supplies and help for farms in the North.

North Korea did not completely sidestep the problem it hasin feeding its people.

It set an October deadline -- when the authorities willcelebrate the 60th anniversary of the ruling Workers' Party --"to bring new exaltation to all parts of the socialist economy,beginning in the agricultural front" so that the Octoberfestivities will take place "in joyous atmosphere."

"It was President Kim Il-sung's life-long dream to buildthe world's strongest nation," Seoul's Yonhap news agencyquoted the Workers' Party daily Rodong Sinmun as saying in aneditorial.

George Washington

Born: February 22, 1732 in Westmoreland County, Virginia
Died: December 14, 1799 in Mount Vernon, Virginia

From The Memorial Office of
The Secretary of the One Leader , The Great Leader

On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. "As the first of every thing, in our situation will serve to establish a Precedent," he wrote James Madison, "it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles."

Born in 1732 into a Virginia planter family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman.

He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him.

From 1759 to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Washington managed his lands around Mount Vernon and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Married to a widow, Martha Dandridge Custis, he devoted himself to a busy and happy life. But like his fellow planters, Washington felt himself exploited by British merchants and hampered by British regulations. As the quarrel with the mother country grew acute, he moderately but firmly voiced his resistance to the restrictions.

When the Second Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia in May 1775, Washington, one of the Virginia delegates, was elected Commander in Chief of the Continental Army. On July 3, 1775, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, he took command of his ill-trained troops and embarked upon a war that was to last six grueling years.

He realized early that the best strategy was to harass the British. He reported to Congress, "we should on all Occasions avoid a general Action, or put anything to the Risque, unless compelled by a necessity, into which we ought never to be drawn." Ensuing battles saw him fall back slowly, then strike unexpectedly. Finally in 1781 with the aid of French allies--he forced the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown.

Washington longed to retire to his fields at Mount Vernon. But he soon realized that the Nation under its Articles of Confederation was not functioning well, so he became a prime mover in the steps leading to the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia in 1787. When the new Constitution was ratified, the Electoral College unanimously elected Washington President

He did not infringe upon the policy making powers that he felt the Constitution gave Congress. But the determination of foreign policy became preponderantly a Presidential concern. When the French Revolution led to a major war between France and England, Washington refused to accept entirely the recommendations of either his Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, who was pro-French, or his Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, who was pro-British. Rather, he insisted upon a neutral course until the United States could grow stronger.

To his disappointment, two parties were developing by the end of his first term. Wearied of politics, feeling old, he retired at the end of his second. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to forswear excessive party spirit and geographical distinctions. In foreign affairs, he warned against long-term alliances.

Washington enjoyed less than three years of retirement at Mount Vernon, for he died of a throat infection December 14, 1799. For months the Nation mourned him.

Leonid Brezhnev(Ilich)
b. Dec. 19, 1906, Kamenskoye, Russia [now Dniprodzerzhinsk, Ukraine]
d. Nov. 10, 1982, Moscow, Soviet Communist Party leader (1964-82)

From The Memorial Office of
The Secretary of the One Leader , The Great Leader

Leonid Brezhnev became a full member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) in 1931. By 1939 he had become secretary of the regional party committee of Dnepropetrovsk. During World War II he served as a political commissar in the Red Army. In 1950 he was sent to Moldavia as first secretary of the Moldavian Communist Party. In 1952 he became a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU and a candidate member of the Politburo, but he lost those posts after Stalin's death (March 1953). In 1955 he became first secretary of the Kazakhstan Communist Party, and in 1956 he was reelected to his posts on the CPSU Central Committee and the Politburo. A year later, Brezhnev was made a full member of the Politburo, and in 1960 he became chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (titular head of state). In July 1964 he resigned that post to become Nikita Khrushchev's assistant as second secretary of the Central Committee, by which time he was considered Khrushchev's heir apparent as party leader. Three months later, however, he helped lead the coalition that forced Khrushchev from power, and became (Oct. 15, 1964) first secretary of the CPSU (after 1966, general secretary). During the 1970s he attempted to normalize relations between West Germany and the Warsaw Pact and to ease tensions with the United States through the policy known as détente. He was elected chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet in June 1977, thus becoming the first person in Soviet history to hold both the leadership of the party and of the state. He retained his hold on power to the end despite his frail health and growing feebleness.
