***You Don't Like The Truth: Four Days Inside Guantanamo*** is a 2010 documentary. The film focuses on the recorded interrogations of Canadian child soldier Omar Khadr, by Canadian intelligence personnel that took place over four days from February 13–16, 2003 while he was held at Guantanamo. It presents these with observations by his lawyers and former cell mates from the Bagram Theater Internment Facility and Guantanamo Bay detention camps.

The film premiered at the Festival du nouveau cinéma in Montreal in October 2010. The film was shown to Canadian parliamentarians in October 2010. Khadr's defence attorney's planned to show the film during their summation if Khadr's trial went forward. According to the *Montreal Gazette* the film-makers Luc Côté and Patricio Henríquez also produced a series of short YouTube videos as a companion to the feature-length documentary.

## Summary

Omar Khadr was taken captive in Pakistan at the age of 15 and ultimately imprisoned at Guantanamo, charged with killing a US soldier.

Khadr was finally transferred into Canadian custody in late 2012. He was held in a maximum security prison and transferred in 2014 to a medium-security one. He was released in 2015.

## Reception

Peter Bradshaw wrote in *The Guardian*,

> His unseen interrogator here is a Canadian intelligence officer, evidently the lead officer in a team, permitted by the Americans to question the prisoner on the understanding that a friendly seeming fellow countryman might cause Khadr to open up and give the US valuable intelligence. So far from being a respite from torture, this insincere friendly chat is a hideous refinement of cruelty: a horrifying turn of the screw.

Andrew O'Hehir wrote in *Salon*, "Khadr became a sort of ritual sacrifice by the Canadian government, an offering to its American allies and/or overlords."

Sam Kressner wrote in *Filmcritic.com*:

> The question posed in You Don't Like the Truth: 4 Days Inside Guantanamo is not that of Omar's innocence. We will never know what truly happened. Rather, the crux of the film lies in the legal "black-hole" that Guantanamo detainees find themselves in. Is it possible to hold a man, let alone a child, accountable to the status of Prison of War, illegal under United Nations law since the days of the Nuremberg Trials?

## Awards

The film won the Special Jury Award at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.

The film won an award for "best documentary about society" at the Prix Gémeaux on September 13, 2011.

The film was nominated in the best documentary category for the 2010 Genie awards. According to a September 27, 2011 review in the *Film Journal,* the film did not yet have a distributor in the United States, but was eligible for an Oscar nomination opening in New York City in September 2011. It did not receive a nomination.

## Politics

Shortly before the film's premiere, Canada lost its bid for one of the rotating seats on the United Nations Security Council. According to Rhéal Séguin, writing in *The Globe and Mail*, the filmmakers "are convinced one reason Canada failed to get a seat on the United Nations Security Council was because the federal government has been condemned by many countries for failing to respect Mr. Khadr's human rights and the provisions of the international convention on child soldiers."

# Mattapoisett, Massachusetts

**Mattapoisett** is a town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 6,508 at the 2020 census. Mattapoisett Center is located in the town.

Mattapoisett is a part of the South Coast region of Massachusetts which encompasses the cities and towns that surround Buzzards Bay (excluding the Elizabeth Islands, Bourne and Falmouth), Mount Hope Bay and the Sakonnet River.

## History

Governor William Brenton purchased Mattapoisett in 1664 from Wampanoag chief Metacomet, also referred to as King Philip. Brenton left it to his son Ebenezer, who sold it. The town of Mattapoisett was settled in 1750 and officially incorporated in 1857, originally a part of Rochester. There is evidence of prior Wampanoag Indian settlements throughout the town, including burial grounds. The name *Mattapoisett* is Wampanoag for "a place of resting".

Early industry included logging and farming, but Mattapoisett became best known for its role in the history of whaling. Some 400 ships were built in the town's shipyards from 1740 until the 1870s, including the *Acushnet*, the ship that *Moby-Dick* author Herman Melville sailed on and later deserted. The town supplied many of the whalers used on the East Coast in the first half of the nineteenth century. The last one was the *Wanderer*, built in 1878, shortly after the discovery of oil in Pennsylvania which led to the demise of commercial whaling in the United States.

With the decline of whaling and associated shipbuilding, Mattapoisett transitioned into a popular summer vacation spot for prominent New York and Boston residents, including Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. Today, the town is largely a suburban community, with most residents commuting to jobs in Fall River, New Bedford, Worcester, Providence, or Boston, or operating businesses targeting summer tourism.

## Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 24.2 square miles (62.6 km2), of which 17.4 square miles (45.0 km2) is land and 6.8 square miles (17.6 km2), or 28.18%, is water. The Mattapoisett River begins in Rochester and flows through town, emptying into Mattapoisett Harbor, an arm of Buzzards Bay. Mattapoisett is home to Haskell Swamp in the Tinkham Hill area in the northern part of town. The center of the town around the harbor is known as The Village, and a rural area north of rte 195, along Acushnet Road, Tinkham Lane and Long Plain Rd, is known as Tinkhamtown. There is also a state-managed wildlife area, Nasketucket Bay State Reservation, commonly known as Nunes Farm, along the waterfront near the Fairhaven line. There are four beaches and two parks along the waterfront, as well as Ned Point Light, which was built in 1837 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The town is home to the Fin, Fur and Feather Club, a hunt club and shooting range located along the Mattapoisett River off Crystal Spring Road.

Mattapoisett is the southwesternmost town of Plymouth County. It is bordered by Fairhaven to the southwest, Acushnet to the northwest, Rochester to the north, and Marion to the east. Buzzards Bay lies to the south. The town is 9 miles (14 km) east of New Bedford, 38 miles (61 km) east-southeast of Providence, Rhode Island, and 60 miles (97 km) south of Boston.

## Transportation

Interstate 195 runs through the town, and U.S. Route 6, is the main local road through town. I-195 has an exit for the town, Exit 31A/B, "Mattapoisett/N. Rochester," which accesses North Street.

title: Philadelphia Athletics (1890–1891)

abstract: The Philadelphia Athletics were a short-lived Major League Baseball franchise that existed for two seasons from 1890 to 1891. Known alternatively as the Philadelphia Quakers, and sometimes informally as "Buffinton's Beauties", they played their first season in the newly created Players' League (PL) of 1890, and were managed by Jim Fogarty and Charlie Buffinton. After the demise of the PL following the 1890 season, the team switched to the American Association (AA) for the 1891 season, and were managed by Bill Sharsig and George Wood. For each season, the franchise used Forepaugh Park as their home field. Before the 1890 season, the PL was founded by the first organized professional sports union, the Brotherhood of Professional Base Ball Players, in an attempt to compete with the existing major leagues, the National League (NL) and the AA. Their intent was to break free from the standard business practices of the two leagues that they claimed stifled players' salaries; such as the reserve clause, and the Brush Classification System, as well as their ability to sell players to another team without the consent of the player. The Quakers were controlled by a group of investors, which included brothers G. W. and J. Earl Wagner. Under the pressure of PL investors, who were seeking recoupment of massive financial losses following the 1890 season, pressured the Brotherhood to compromise with the NL and AA. The deal called for the dissolution of the league, while allowing the players to return to their old teams without penalty, with the reserve clause and the selling of players, without their consent, outlawed. The Quakers were allowed entrance into the AA for 1891 season and claimed the nickname of the team they were replacing, the Philadelphia Athletics, who had been expelled for violating the league constitution. Although many players departed for new teams for the 1891 season, including Buffinton, Shindle, and Mike Griffin, they were able to sign suitable replacements, such as Gus Weyhing, Elton Chamberlain, and Pop Corkhill. The team completed the season with a 73–66 win–loss record, with four ties, placing them fifth among nine teams. Following the 1891 season, the AA could no longer operate due to great financial losses, and were forced to fold, with four teams being consolidated with the NL, and the others accepting buyouts. The Athletics fell into the latter group, and ceased operations. Pitcher Bert Cunningham set a dubious record when he threw five wild pitches in one inning on Sept. 15, 1890, a record that would go unmatched for 110 years until Rick Ankiel tied it in a playoff game.

# Maurice O'Shea (winemaker)

**Maurice George O'Shea** (13 June 1897 – 5 May 1956) was one of Australia's most respected winemakers, and is often referred to as the father of Australia's modern winemaking. Maurice was the son of Irish born wine and spirit merchant John Augustus O'Shea (died 1912) and Leontine Frances, née Beaucher.

## Life

Maurice completed his secondary schooling at Riverview College. He then studied winemaking at Montpellier University and, in 1917, enrolled at the Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon where he studied viticulture and oenology He returned to Australia in 1920.

O'Shea married Marcia Singer Fuller on 2 December 1925 at St Peter's Anglican Church, Hamilton.

Maurice O'Shea died on 5 May 1956 of lung cancer even though he did not smoke. He is buried at Gore Hill Cemetery, Sydney.

A biography of Maurice O'Shea was written in 2006 by wine writer Campbell Mattinson.

## Winemaking

In 1925, Maurice began making wine on his family's vineyard, which he named Mount Pleasant, in Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.

In 1932, O'Shea sold half of this business to McWilliam's Wines Pty Ltd. O'Shea stayed on as Manager and Director of the new subsidiary Mount Pleasant Wines Pty Ltd. In 1941 he sold the remaining half of the business and stayed on as manager and winemaker.

Maurice O'Shea named many of his wines after his friends, rather than the more orthodox method of naming them with a Bin Number of letter. The names included "Elizabeth", "Henry" and "George". McWilliams Mt. Pleasant 'Elizabeth' Semillon is still made.

O'Shea most often made very small quantities of wine, often only one 2,275 litre cask.

## Recognition

The Maurice O'Shea Award was inaugurated in 1990, and is awarded biyearly. Those honoured include Max Schubert in 1990, Wolf Blass in 2000 and Ray Beckwith in 2006.

# Marduk-ahhe-eriba

**Marduk-aḫḫē-erība**, inscribed in cuneiform contemporarily as mdAMAR.UTU-ŠEŠ-MEŠ-SU, meaning: “Marduk has replaced the brothers for me,” a designation given to younger sons whose older siblings have typically predeceased them, ruled c. 1042 BC as the 9th king of the 2nd Dynasty of Isin and the 4th Dynasty of Babylon, but only for around 6 months using the date formula: MU 1 ITI 6, which first appears in Kassite times and is open to interpretation. According to the *Synchronistic Kinglist* he was a contemporary of the Assyrian king Aššur-bêl-kala where only the beginning of his name appears below that of his immediate predecessor Adad-apla-iddina.

## Biography

The only contemporary source is a kudurru (line art pictured), or gray limestone boundary marker, in a private collection in Istanbul, which records a land grant to a certain Kudurrâ, a “Ḫabiru” and servant of the king, in a region of northern Babylonia called Bīt-Piri’-Amurru. The term *Ḫabiru* may be a socio-economic designation rather than an indication of "Hebrew" ethnicity, since the name *Kudurrâ* is possibly not linguistically of semitic derivation. The field was surveyed by a diviner, a scribe named Nabû-ēriš the *son of* (i.e. descendant of) Arad-Ea, an administrator and a mayor.

It has been suggested that he is the 5th king represented in the *Prophecy A* by the single line, “A prince will arise, and his days will be short. He will not rule in the land.” This is a late Assyrian tablet found at Assur and first published in 1923, which narrates a sequence of 12 Babylonian kings.

# Matilda Kristina von Schwerin

**Matilda Kristina von Schwerin** née Hagberg (1818 – 1892) was a Swedish countess and landowner. She was a central figure in two great scandals in 19th-century Sweden; when her future husband's brother sued him for his intending marriage to her on accusations of incest (1841–44) and when her late husband's brother refused to acknowledge her legal right to her inheritance and dower land after her late spouse (1849–56), known in history as the 'Schwerin Estate's Scandals'.

## Life

### Early life

She was the daughter of an employee of the Royal Lottery, Lorentz August Hagberg, and Christina Carolina Schelin of Stockholm. Her mother was the mistress of the rich landowner count Curt Philip von Schwerin (1795-1849), and when Matilda Kristina's father died, she and her siblings moved from Stockholm to the estate of von Schwerin in Östergötland. Her mother was formally employed as the housekeeper of von Schwerin, but she was known to be his mistress and their relationship was a scandal: von Schwerin's brother and heir, the courtier Adolf Henning von Schwerin (1799-1878), was reportedly afraid that his unmarried, childless brother would marry his mistress.

Curt Philip von Schwerin was one of the richest landowners in Sweden, owner of a number of estates such as Husby, Fyllingarum, Sverkersholm, Borkhult, Gobo, Odensgöl, Ekhammar and Åketorp. However, von Schwerin, though owner and resident on his estate, did not have financial control over his properties, as his inability to handle the inherited debts of his late owner and predecessor had resulted in his estates coming under the legal administration of his brother, an official of the royal court, who was in fact his heir.

### First scandal

In 1841, Curt Philip von Schwerin announced that he would marry, not his mistress, but her daughter, Matilda Kristina. He was sued by his heir and brother Adolf Henning von Schwerin, who accused his brother of intent to commit a crime, as a marriage to the daughter of his mistress would juridically be defined as incest by the laws of prohibited degree of kinship. This led to a three year long legal process, including testimonies regarding the sexual relationship between Curt Philip von Schwerin and Christina Carolina Hagberg, before the court declared Curt Philip von Schwerin free to marry Matilda Kristina Hagberg in 1844. The legal process was a three year long scandal in contemporary Sweden.

Count Curt Philip von Schwerin married Matilda Kristina Hagberg in 1844, and granted her three of his estates, Husby, Fyllingarum and Sverkersholm, as her dower lands. The marriage was described as happy but childless.

### Second scandal

When her spouse died in 1849, Matilda Kristina von Schwerin inherited a fortune as well as the three estates granted her as dower lands, while the ownership of the von Schwerin family's estates was inherited by her late husband's brother Adolf Henning von Schwerin. She was immediately sued by von Schwerin, who refused to acknowledge her right to the dower estates. This second court case lasted for seven years, until the court, in 1856, acknowledged the legal right of Matilda Kristina von Schwerin to the three estate granted to her as dowers. The case was a scandal which attracted a lot of attention in contemporary Sweden, particularly within the upper classes, where the sympathies where on the side of the widow, and Adolf Henning von Schwerin made a donation of 100,000 *riksdaler* to *Riddarhuset* to soften the dislike his actions had caused his name in public opinion.

### Later life

After the process had been completed in 1856, Matilda Kristina von Schwerin lived the rest of her life managing her dower estates and was one of the richest women in Sweden at the time, described as: "She was tender and charitable toward her subordinates, hosted a hospitable home and benefited the fortune of her siblings in the world. She left a memory of an in all aspects respectable and good person", and willed her fortune to siblings, nephews and nieces and to the foundation of an orphanage in Söderköping.

# Mary Drummond

**Mary Drummond** (1675 – 1729) was a leading supporter of the Jacobites who wanted to bring a Catholic to the British throne. She became **Mary, Countess Marischal** in 1694. She is wrongly named as the author of the song *When the King Comes O’er the Water* but the song is in her voice.

## Life

Drummond was the daughter of James Drummond, 4th Earl of Perth, and his first wife, Lady Jane Douglas (d. 1678). Her maternal grandfather was William Douglas, 1st Marquess of Douglas. Her father was imprisoned at Kirkcaldy in December 1688. She would have been aware of her father being exiled in 1693 for Jacobitism, but she already married. Her husband William Keith became the 9th Earl Marischal in 1694.

Around 1690 Drummond married William Keith later 9th Earl Marischal. His father was George Keith, 8th Earl Marischal (d. 1694) and the courtier Lady Mary Hay (d. 1701) who was the third daughter of the 2nd Earl of Kinnoull. Her eldest son George Keith who became the tenth and the last Earl Marischal was born in 1692 or 1693. Her other son James Francis Edward Keith who was born in 1696 was named after the Old Pretender and they both became soldiers. She and her husband also had two daughters. Mary who married John, sixth earl of Wigtown and Anne who married Alexander, sixth earl of Galloway.

Drummond was buried at Holyrood Abbey after she died in Edinburgh on 7 March 1729.

## *When the King Comes O’er the Water*

The song *When the King Comes O’er the Water* is sometime thought to be written by Drummond, however the song is thought to be from after she died. The song was first published in James Hogg's *Jacobite Relics* of 1817.

The song finishes with "My faither was a guid Lord’s son, my mither was an Earl’s daughter / And I will be Lady Keith again, the day oor King comes o’er the water".

title: Moritz Wiggers

abstract: Moritz Karl Georg Wiggers, German politician, started out as a lawyer and a notary in his home town of Rostock. The Revolution of 1848 prompted him to enter public life as a representative to the Mecklenburg constitutional convention, of which he was also elected president. Once the constitution was adopted in 1849, he was elected to its legislature, again being named president. A court of arbitration in Freienwalde declared the constitution as invalid, and the legislature was dissolved in 1850. Wiggers regarded this action as illegal and called the legislature to meet again, but this was prevented by force. He was also tried for aiding the flight of Gottfried Kinkel from Spandau prison, but was acquitted. Nevertheless, he was caught up by the "Rostock high-treason proceedings." A police agent had infiltrated Wiggers' democratic club, and in 1853, he was tried for conspiracy and imprisoned. On his release in 1857, he remained a private citizen for a decade. In 1867, he was elected as representative from the third Berlin precinct to the Reichstag of the North German Confederation. In 1871, he was elected as representative, from Berlin and Mecklenburg, to the German Reichstag. There he served with the German Progressive Party until 1881. After this time, he devoted himself to the construction of a canal between Rostock and Berlin. He was the author of several historical studies, political pamphlets and reports on the progress of the canal. His outstanding traits were his unyielding commitment to his liberal convictions and his peaceable nature.

title: VIP aircraft affair

abstract: The VIP aircraft affair was an Australian political controversy relating to the use of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) VIP aircraft by the Holt government and its predecessor the Menzies government. It occurred in the lead-up to the 1967 Senate election. In an attempt to avoid negative media coverage, Prime Minister Harold Holt provided vague and inaccurate answers to parliamentary questions about the VIP fleet, notably denying the existence of passenger manifests which might confirm instances of misuse. Air Minister Peter Howson became aware of the inaccuracies and sought to protect Holt, but their statements were soon subjected to further scrutiny, leading to accusations that they had conspired to mislead parliament. The situation came to a head in October 1967, when the opposition moved to call senior public servants before the Senate, but was defused somewhat by the decision on the 25th of October of John Gorton, the Leader of the Government in the Senate, to table the "missing" passenger manifests. The controversy weakened Holt's popularity and diminished the reputations of Holt and Howson within the Liberal Party. However, its significance was lessened by the drowning death of Holt in December 1967. Gorton's decisive action, although initially harmful to the government, boosted his standing among government senators and may have contributed to his election as Holt's successor.
