JACOB JANSE SCHERMERHORN, brewer and trader, b. 1622 in Waterland, Holland it is said although in 1654 his father was living in Amsterdam. He came to Beverwyck quite early.

He was arrested in 1648 at Fort Orange by order of Governor Stuyvesant on a charge of selling arms and ammunition to the Indians. His books and papers were seized and he was taken a prisoner to Fort Amsterdam where he was sentenced to banishment for five years together with confiscation of all his property.

By intervention by leading citizens, the first part of his sentence was revoked but his property was totally lost. This action was later a ground for complaint against Stuyvesant to the States General in Amsterdam.

He made his will 5/20/1688 and soon died at Schenectady

Jannetie Egmont (Van Voorhout), wife of Jacob Janse Schermerhorn, was born in Holland in 1633. Her father made a contract with Patroon Van Rensselaer, August 25, 1643, and in this document he is referred to as Cornelise Segertse Van Egmont. 

He sailed for America in Sept., 1643, by "Het Wapen Van Rensselaerwyck," with his wife, Brechje Jacobsen, 45 years old, and 6 children. 

He was about 44 years of age. His children were Cornelis, 22; Claes, 20; Seger, 14; Lysbeth, 16; Jannetie, 10, and Neeltie, 8. He was engaged as a farmer and was one of the first farmers of consequence in Rensselaerwyck, nearly all of the others at this time being fur traders. 

______


The family of Egmont, prominent in Holland in the eleventh century, traced their descent from the Pagan kings. 

Their chateau was on the North Sea, about three miles west of Alkmaar, and from 1423 to 1558, they were at the height of their power. The family was divided into several branches and had in it 9 knights of the Golden Fleece.

Pre-eminent among all of the Egmonts was Lamoral, Count of Egmont, Prince of Gavre, "one of the most brilliant characters in history," as one historian records. He was born in the castle of La Haimaide, in Hainault, Nov. 18, 1522. In 1542, at the death of his brother Karl, he succeeded to the title and estates of the family, which, besides those of Holland, comprised the principality of Gavre, seven or eight baronies and a number of seignories.

In his youth Lamoral was page to the Emperor, Charles V, and when twenty-three years old he married Sabina of Luxembourg, Duchess of Bavaria and Countess Palatine of the Rhine, sister of the elector, Frederick III. Few royal weddings have been more brilliant. The Emperor, his brother Ferdinand, King of the Romans, with the Archduke Maximilian, all the Imperial Electors and a concourse of the principal nobles of the empire, were present on the occasion.

Lamoral participated in various campaigns during the reign of Charles V, who when he was only twenty-six, invested him with the order of the Golden Fleece, and appointed him to several confidential missions, such as sending him to England to seek the hand of Queen Mary for Philip II. 

After the succession of Philip to the throne, Lamoral gained great distinction in many of the campaigns of that period. He incurred the hatred of the Duke of Alva at the battle of St. Quentin, which would not have been fought except for the violent persuasion of Egmont in opposition to the advice of Alva. It was a brilliant victory, and Lamoral was the principal figure in the affray. In the following year he distinguished himself in the battle of Gravelines, and with this became the idol of the people. As a reward for his services he was made in 1559, by Philip II, Stadtholder of the Provences of Flanders and Artois and a member of the Council of State for the Low Countries. 

At the conclusion of the war, by the treaty of Cateau Cambresis, Egmont was one of the four hostages selected by the French king, as pledges for its execution. The attempt made by Philip to convert the Netherlands into a Spanish dependency and govern it by Spanish ministers, excited the resentment of Egmont and other ministers of the Netherlands aristocracy. Though Egmont was a good Catholic, nevertheless he had no desire to see his native country in the throes of the Spanish Inquisition.

 In January, 1565, he and others went to Spain to make known to the king the state of affairs and protest against the autocratic proceedings of Cardinal Granvella, the all-powerful minister of the regent Margaret of Parma, the latter having been appointed against the will of the Protestant party. He was received by Philip with ostentatious cordiality and flattered by the whole court, but the real object of his mission was evaded and he returned home without having accomplished anything for his people. The treacherous Philip, notwithstanding his fair promises to Egmont, sent instructions to the regent to abate nothing in the persecutions. Immediately after the arrival of the Duke of Alva in 1567, who had been sent as lieutenant-general of the Netherlands, Counts Egmont and Horn were seized and imprisoned in Ghent, afterwards being removed to Brussels, where they were tried by the "Council of Blood."

 Sentence was pronounced on the 4th of June, by Alva himself, in spite of the intercession of the Emperor Charles V, the elector Palatine, the Order of the Golden Fleece, the State of Brabant, and the piteous pleadings of his wife, who, with her eleven children, had by this time been reduced to want and had taken refuge in a convent.

 He was beheaded the next day, June 5, 1568, in company with Count Horn, and in the storm of indignation which arose, they were glorified as martyrs to Flemish freedom. This memorable episode proved to be the prelude of the famous revolt of the Netherlands, which ended in independence.

 In 1865 a monument to Counts Egmont and Horn, by Fraiken, was erected at Brussels. Louis Gallait (1810-1887), a Belgian painter, has among his chief works, "Egmont Preparing for Death," "Alva Looking Upon the Bodies of Egmont and Horn," "The Last Moments of Count Egmont." Goethe made of this historical episode the theme of a tragedy.

The badge of the Order, in the form of a sheepskin, was suspended from a jewelled collar of firesteels in the shape of the letter B, for Burgundy, linked by flints; with the motto 

"Pretium Laborum Non Vile" ("No Mean Reward for Labours") engraved on the front of the central link, and Philip's motto "Non Aliud" ("I will have no other") on the back (non-royal knights of the Golden Fleece were forbidden to belong to any other order of knighthood).

n Greek mythology, Colchis was the home of Aeëtes, Medea, Golden Fleece, fire-breathing bulls Khalkotauroi and the destination of the Argonauts.

Colchis is also thought to be the possible homeland of the Amazons.

According to the Greek mythology, Colchis was a fabulously wealthy land situated on the mysterious periphery of the heroic world. Here in the sacred grove of the war god Ares, King Aeëtes hung the Golden Fleece until it was seized by Jason and the Argonauts.

 Colchis was also the land where the mythological Prometheus was punished by being chained to a mountain while an eagle ate at his liver for revealing to humanity the secret of fire. 

Amazons also were said to be of Scythian origin from Colchis.

"The Flushing Remonstrance was signed on December 27, 1657, by a group of English citizens who were affronted by persecution of Quakers and the religious policies of Stuyvesant.

None of them were Quakers themselves. The Flushing Remonstrance was a 1657 petition to Director-General of New Netherland Peter Stuyvesant, in which several citizens requested an exemption to his ban on Quaker worship.

 It is considered a precursor to the United States Constitution's provision on freedom of religion in the Bill of Rights.

The Remonstrance ends with:
______

The law of love, peace and liberty in the states extending to Jews, Turks and Egyptians,
as they are considered sonnes of Adam,
which is the glory of the outward state of Holland,
 soe love, peace and liberty, extending to all in Christ Jesus,

 condemns hatred, war and bondage.
 And because our Saviour sayeth it is impossible but that offences will come,
 but woe unto him by whom they cometh,

 our desire is not to offend one of his little ones,
 in whatsoever form, name or title hee appears in,
 whether Presbyterian, Independent, Baptist
or Quaker,
 but shall be glad to see anything of God in any of them,
 desiring to doe unto all men as we desire all men should doe unto us,
which is the true law both of Church and State;
for our Saviour sayeth this is the law and the prophets.

Therefore if any of these said persons come in love unto us,
 we cannot in conscience lay violent hands upon them,
but give them free egresse and regresse unto our Town,
and houses, as God shall persuade our consciences,
for we are bounde by the law of God and man
 to doe good unto all men and evil to noe man.

And this is according to the patent and charter of our Towne,
given unto us in the name of the States General,
which we are not willing to infringe, and violate,
but shall houlde to our patent and shall remaine,
your humble subjects, the inhabitants of Vlishing."

___________http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flushing_Remonstrance

"Flushing was the site of the first commercial tree nurseries in North America, the most prominent being the Prince, Bloodgood, and Parsons nurseries.

 Much of the northern section of Kissena Park, former site of the Parsons nursery, still contains a wide variety of exotic trees. The naming of streets intersecting Kissena Boulevard on its way toward Kissena Park celebrates this fact (Ash Avenue, Beech, Cherry ...Poplar, Quince, Rose).

 Flushing also supplied trees to the Greensward project, now known as Central Park in Manhattan."

______

"Captain Frans Jansen Bloetgoet (Anglicized to Francis Bloodgood) (c. 1623 - 29 December 1676) was a Netherlander who immigrated to Flushing, Queens, He is the ancestor of the American Bloodgood family.

Bloodgood was made secretary to the Colonies on the Delaware river in 1659. They moved to Flushing, and Bloodgood was appointed Schepen of Flushing in 1673.

Bloodgood had acquired land, sheep and cattle by the time of his death. Frans Bloetgoet and his wife both belonged to the New York Dutch Church, and all but two of their children were baptized there.

 On 24 May 1674 he was made chief officer of the Dutch militia of the settlements of Flushing, Hempstead, Jamaica and Newtown. He died on 29 December 1676."

________

Incitement from those who profit off the victims, and endanger those who take their "advice."


But even if you heed Kreuscher's advice?

 You still might get arrested.

Or worse.

"It's not a magic wand," he says.

_________


Kreusher is right. Having money, a law degree, important connections, the right clothes, and the foresight to watch the melee from the distance of a high rise office, is the "magic wand."


_______


"Kreuscher, working with the National Lawyers Guild, was delivering a brief, energetic lecture called "Know Your Rights"—essentially all about how not to get arrested during a rally and what to do in case you are.

He was invited by the organizers of Occupy Portland, the anti-corporate group planning a noontime rally Thursday at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, followed by a march to Pioneer Courthouse Square. (And then, likely, followed by days of camping out along the Willamette.)"

________



so much for the "camp on the Willamette" idea. City Hall loved having Occupy in front of the cop shop and city hall.

and avoiding arrest? is that how the Civil Rights movement operates?

FILL THE JAILS with political dissidents. the IWW won free speech battles across the nation by exercising their Constitutional rights, and getting arrested by the dozen.

Hegemony (UK /hɨˈɡɛməni/, US /hɨˈdʒɛməni/;[1][2][3] Greek: ἡγεμονία hēgemonía, "leadership, rule") is an indirect form of government, and of imperial dominance in which the hegemon (leader state)

http://www.fulcrumpolitical.com/  " with independent tests proving it to be among the most persuasive voter contact in the nation."

 rules geopolitically subordinate states by the implied means of power, the threat of force, rather than by direct military force.

"battle tested. experience, strategy, propaganda."

"MARK WIENER IS A TOTAL ASSFUCKER," says a political insider, who has worked with Oregon's most powerful political consultant in the past.

"Don't cross the man. He's the one person in this business you don't want to cross, because he knows everybody and he knows everyone. There's nobody and nothing that is beyond his reach. He is somebody to keep on your side."

Here's a nicer way of putting it.

"Mark Wiener is the man in the shadows who's elected the majority of city council,

"

 Under hegemony, rebellion (social, political, economic, armed) is eliminated either by

co-optation of the rebels

 or by suppression (police and military), without direct intervention by the hegemon;

...in the theory of cultural hegemony, whereby one social class

can manipulate the system of values and mores of a society,

 in order to create and establish a ruling class Weltanschauung,

 a worldview that justifies the status quo of bourgeois domination of the other social classes of the society."
_______



"In contemporary society, the exemplar hegemonic organisations are churches and the mass communications media that continually transmit data and information to the public.

As such, the ideologic content of the data and information are determined by the vocabulary with which the messages are presented—how the messages are presented; thereby determines the value of the information as "reliable" or "unreliable", as "true" or "false", for the recipient reader, listener, and viewer.

Hence language is essential to the imposition, establishment, and functioning of the cultural hegemony that influences what and how people think about the status quo of their society"

he who carries the water

"Water with a high deuterium content can only form under specific conditions. The environment needs to be very cold, and there needs to be enough energy to power the reaction that binds hydrogen, deuterium and oxygen. Over the past several decades, researchers have come up with two possible — and competing  — explanations of how this heavy water took up residence in our solar system.

The first is that it came from interstellar water ice that formed in the huge cloud of gas that gave birth to our sun and the solar system. Stellar nurseries can be found throughout the universe, and they are rich in both heavy water and regular water (H20), the researchers said."

"For Kitzhaber’s re-election campaign, McCaig has done far more than a typical campaign volunteer.  

She has routinely taken a leading role in strategy sessions with paid campaign consultants, including Mark Wiener and Kevin Looper, both of whom worked on the 2010 campaign for Kitzhaber.

 (The governor has disclosed he is paying Wiener and Looper; both declined to discuss McCaig’s role in the campaign.)"

"That would be Mark Wiener, the Portland political consultant to Leonard, Commissioner Dan Saltzman and Mayor Sam Adams as well as Portland City Council candidates Steve Novick and Mary Nolan.

Portland, of course, does not fluoridate its municipal water, as other U.S. cities do for dental reasons. Upstream Public Health has made oral health a priority for its group, and it hired Wiener as an adviser to assess the political landscape on fluoride not because the group is planning a large-scale 

campaign....http://blog.oregonlive.com/portlandcityhall/2011/09/fluoride_proponents_visit_comm.html

 "In Goethe's Faust, a chorus of Lemurs who serve Mephistopheles dig Faustus' grave. Lemures may represent the wandering and vengeful spirits of those not afforded proper burial, funeral rites or affectionate cult by the living: they are not attested by tomb or votive inscriptions. Ovid interprets them as vagrant, unsatiated and potentially vengeful di manes or di parentes, ancestral gods or spirits of the underworld."

Champlin Oil


"In 1916, oil was discovered at Garber Field. Champlin bought the mineral rights from George Beggs, a farmer who resided in the area. Ary Champlin had encouraged him to do so.  

 He purchased a small refinery from Victor Bolene, and built a pipeline between it and Garber Field. In 1920, he purchased the Goodwell Oil Company which consisted of several bulk plants and service stations.

 During his lifetime, the Champlin Oil Company expanded to operate service stations and wholesale outlets in twenty midwestern states and drilling and production operations in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico.

 By Mr. Champlin’s death in 1944, the company employed over 800 people in Enid.

Following nine years of continued family ownership, the company went public in 1953. 

It had several owners:

1954: Purchased by the Chicago Corporation for $55,000,000. This parent company changed its name to Champlin Refining Company in 1956.

 
1964: The Celanese Company purchased the company. 

1970: The company was sold to Union Pacific Resources Company. 

1984: The operation was purchased by American Petrofina, which ultimately closed the refinery" 

.____

May 3, 1987 — The Union Pacific Corporation consolidated two subsidiaries, Champlin Petroleum and the Rocky Mountain Energy Company, into a single operating company called the Union Pacific Resources Group, Inc. 

 It said the change would permit further cost and productivity improvements in the natural resource businesses. (New York Times, May 4, 1987)

In 1995, Union Pacific Corporation combined all of its natural resource operations (Champlin Petroleum and Rocky Mountain Energy) into the Union Pacific Resources Group.  

In October 1995, Union Pacific sold a 17 percent stake to the public in an IPO. (New York Times, October 9, 1995)

On October 15, 1996, Union Pacific Corporation spun off its remaining 83 percent stake in Union Pacific Resources Group.  

At the time, Union Pacific Resources owned 

 7.5 million acres of land 

 in the western states that originally came to Union Pacific as mid-19th century land grants. (New York Times, November 17, 1996)
_________

UPC acquired Champlin Petroleum Company ("Champlin") in 1970 to manage the exploitation of its oil and gas operations on the Land Grant.  

The Land Grant consists of land granted by the Federal government to a predecessor of UPC in the mid-1800s which passes through the states of Colorado and Wyoming and into Utah and intersects several highly productive oil and gas basins.

In the Land Grant Area, the Company has fee ownership of the mineral rights under approximately 7.9 million acres constituting the initial Land Grant and controls the mineral rights under approximately 700,000 additional acres. In 1971, UPC combined its own oil and gas operations with those of Champlin.

In 1987, the Champlin name was changed to Union Pacific Resources Company ("UPRC") and UPRC also became responsible for managing UPC's hard mineral assets.
__________



In June 1997, Union Pacific Resources was reported as being

the largest domestic driller of oil and gas,

 for the past five years. (New York Times, June 24, 1997)
________


the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862 granted large chunks of western land for those attempting to lay railroad tracks across the continent. Union Pacific, the Goliath of railroading west of the Mississippi, was given 7.9 million acres in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.  

It wasn't until a good 50 years later that Union Pacific started to mine this land for oil, gas, and coal in earnest.

After growing the business both organically and through several acquisitions, Union Pacific found itself a major player in the natural resources market. In 1995, the railroad packaged together and spun off to shareholders all of its assets in gas and natural resources as Union Pacific Resources.

After Union Pacific Resources found itself independent of the railroad, it went about looking for acquisitions. Its first major deal, a hostile offer for Pennzoil at more than double today's prices, was derailed at the last moment in 1997. Still hungry for mergers and acquisitions, the company successfully bought Canada-based Norcen for $3.5 billion last year. Late in 1998, Union Pacific Resources decided to sell its midstream gas processing operations to Duke Energy for $1.35 billion to pare down debt and concentrate on upstream gas exploration.

 The company is now one of the largest gas exploration companies on the continent.
________



In April 2000, Union Pacific Resources Group was purchased by Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (Dallas Business Journal, April 3, 2000; Anadarko news release dated April 3, 2000)

Sale of Union Pacific Resources -- On July 14, 2000, Anadarko Petroleum announced the closing of its acquisition of Union Pacific Resources Group.  

Union Pacific became a wholly owned subsidiary of Anadarko.
_______



Transocean and Halliburton have settled some liabilities and the judge said they were shielded by indemnity clauses with BP.

Texas-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp, which owned a quarter of the well, might have to pay fines under the Clean Water Act, though it has settled other claims with BP.
________

In April 2014, Anadarko settled with the Federal Government to pay over $5 billion to clean up environmental waste sites around the country.

 It was the largest environmental contamination settlement in American history.

"Not only have cops been known to go undercover to infiltrate rallies, but they can also lie and commit some crimes as part of their missions.

 Sometimes, they may even pretend to be your friend, encouraging you to commit a crime.

 Entrapment, Kreuscher says, is a difficult and very specific legal principle to prove—so don't expect to rely on it if you suddenly find out your "friend" is actually the fuzz."

"You don't have to speak to an officer on the street unless you choose to." The best thing, Kreuscher says, is to be unfailingly polite but say you're busy and then walk away. That's key. If you stay put, you might eventually relent and start chatting.

resale royalty rights PASSAGE

"n fact, legislation was proposed in both the Senate (S.2000) and the House (H.R.3688) in December 2011 that would provide for a national resale royalty right.

The Equity for Visual Artists Act of 2011 (EVAA) would provide for a 7% royalty to be collected from sales of certain works of art where the sale price exceeded $10,000. Half of this payment would go to the artist or successor in copyright, and half would go towards an escrow account to support U.S. non-profit museums.[5]

 Both pieces of legislation are currently in committee.

In conjunction with the consideration of the legislation, in September 2012 Congress published a Notice of Inquiry requesting comments from the public on factual and policy matters relating to a possible federal resale royalty right."
_______

inalienable artist rights, pending?

"California's Resale Royalty Act was signed into law in 1976. The resale right has its origins in the French law droite de suite, first enacted in 1920, which provided French artists the right to receive a royalty from resales of their work.[3] 

The droite de suite reflects both the idea that artists have certain moral rights in their works (such as the inalienable right to be associated with their works) and the economic concern that artists often are unable to benefit from the full value of their works, where they have low bargaining power in initial sales or where their works appreciate significantly in value after the first sale.[4] 

As of 2012, over 60 countries across the world recognize some version of the resale right."

___________

"The Commerce Clause has been interpreted by the Supreme Court as not only affirmatively granting to Congress the power to regulate commerce among the states, but also, by negative implication, prohibiting the states from unjustifiably discriminating against or burdening the flow of interstate commerce.[9]

 A state regulation violates the Commerce clause where it “directly controls commerce occurring wholly outside the boundaries of a State.

Frans Jansen Bloetgoet, Flushing, New Amsterdam NY

bloodgood Center-Francis forest

"Captain Frans Jansen Bloetgoet (Anglicized to Francis Bloodgood) (c. 1623 - 29 December 1676) was a Netherlander who immigrated to Flushing, Long Island, ancestor of the American Bloodgood family."

" Frans Janszen Bloetgoet was born around 1623.[1] He was the son of Jan Heyndrickse Goetbloet (or Bloetgoet) and Geertgen Thomas, both of Gouda, South Holland.[2] He was living on the Corten Tiendewech, Gouda when he married Lysbeth Jans, of Gouda on 18 February 1645 at Reeuwijk, near Gouda.[1]

The couple emigrated soon after their marriage.[1] They brought with them their child, Geertie when they emigrated to New Amsterdam in 1659.[3] Bloodgood was made secretary to the Colonies on the Delaware river in 1659.

They moved to Flushing, and Bloodgood was appointed Schepen of Flushing in 1673


 On 24 May 1674 he was made chief officer of the Dutch militia of the settlements of Flushing, Hempstead, Jamaica and Newtown

__________

" Flushing was the site of the first commercial tree nurseries in North America, the most prominent being the Prince, Bloodgood, and Parsons nurseries.

 Much of the northern section of Kissena Park, former site of the Parsons nursery, still contains a wide variety of exotic trees. The naming of streets intersecting Kissena Boulevard on its way toward Kissena Park celebrates this fact (Ash Avenue, Beech, Cherry ...Poplar, Quince, Rose).

 Flushing also supplied trees to the Greensward project, now known as Central Park in Manhattan."

flushing remonstrance neverending saga

The Flushing Remonstrance was a 1657 petition to Director-General of New Netherland Peter Stuyvesant, in which several citizens requested an exemption to his ban on Quaker worship. It is considered a precursor to the United States Constitution's provision on freedom of religion in the Bill of Rights.

The Flushing Remonstrance was signed on December 27, 1657, by a group of English citizens who were affronted by persecution of Quakers and the religious policies of Stuyvesant.[2][4] None of them were Quakers themselves.[1]

 The Remonstrance ends with:

The law of love, peace and liberty in the states extending to Jews, Turks and Egyptians, as they are considered sonnes of Adam, which is the glory of the outward state of Holland, soe love, peace and liberty, extending to all in Christ Jesus, condemns hatred, war and bondage.

 And because our Saviour sayeth it is impossible but that offences will come, but woe unto him by whom they cometh, our desire is not to offend one of his little ones, in whatsoever form, name or title hee appears in, whether Presbyterian, Independent, Baptist or Quaker, but shall be glad to see anything of God in any of them, desiring to doe unto all men as we desire all men should doe unto us, which is the true law both of Church and State; for our Saviour sayeth this is the law and the prophets
.
Therefore if any of these said persons come in love unto us, we cannot in conscience lay violent hands upon them, but give them free egresse and regresse unto our Town, and houses, as God shall persuade our consciences, for we are bounde by the law of God and man to doe good unto all men and evil to noe man.

And this is according to the patent and charter of our Towne, given unto us in the name of the States General, which we are not willing to infringe, and violate, but shall houlde to our patent and shall remaine, your humble subjects, the inhabitants of Vlishing.

Four who signed were arrested by order of Stuyvesant."

in the belief that they had grants of authority

"In a phone call on January 30, 1981, Edwin Meese encouraged President Ronald Reagan to issue a pardon, and, after further encouragement from Felt's former colleagues, President Reagan pardoned Felt.

The pardon was signed on March 26, but was not announced to the public until April 15, 1981. (The delay was partly because Reagan was shot on March 30.) In the pardon, Reagan wrote:

During their long careers, Mark Felt and Edward Miller served the Federal Bureau of Investigation and our nation with great distinction. To punish them further — after 3 years of criminal prosecution proceedings — would not serve the ends of justice.
Their convictions in the U.S. District Court, on appeal at the time I signed the pardons, grew out of their good-faith belief that their actions were necessary to preserve the security interests of our country. The record demonstrates that they acted not with criminal intent, but in the belief that they had grants of authority reaching to the highest levels of government.

Nixon sent Felt and Miller bottles of champagne with the note "Justice ultimately prevails."

holistic peace

"The holistic concept in medical practice, which is distinct from the concept in the alternative medicine, upholds that all aspects of people's needs including psychological, physical and social should be taken into account and seen as a whole.

 A 2007 study said the concept was alive and well in general medicine in Sweden."

dumpster divination 5-15-14

On May 15, 2007, Falwell was found without pulse 

and unconscious in his office at about 10:45 a.m.

after missing a morning appointment, and was taken to Lynchburg General Hospital.

"I had breakfast with him, and he was fine at breakfast...He went to his office, I went to mine and they found him unresponsive" said Ron Godwin, the executive vice president of Falwell's Liberty University. His condition was initially reported as "gravely serious"; CPR was administered unsuccessfully.

 As of 2:10 p.m., during a live press conference, a doctor for the hospital confirmed that Falwell had died of "cardiac arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death".
