Firefighters saved the National Archives thursday from an arsonist who tried to burn it down

The National Archives Museum in Washington DC is more than 80 years old and houses everything from important presidential papers to some of the nation’s founding documents, like the Declaration of Independance and the Bill of Rights. Which is why it would have been a monumental loss to the country if the arsonist who tried to burn the museum down Thursday night had succeeded.

According to the National Archives recap of its history, the museum was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt, and its major holdings date back to 1775. The records on file include slave ship manifests, as well as the Emancipation Proclamation; plus “captured German records and the Japanese surrender documents from World War II

Firefighters saved the National Archives from an arsonist who tried to burn it down

With all the Historic building fires lately, having seen this added to the list of destructive forces would have been a very sad day for American History. All I can add is that I'm glad it didn't go that far.

Indiana Jones find's are in there. /s

I think I can see why History must be wiped out by some fringe group that works for the Cabal. It is because there are people who wish to rewrite it for their own goals to be met.

They appear to be doing it on a world level scale right now, and admittedly proud of their self induced havoc. It's a glimpse into our past of how whole societies might have experienced such a change, a sad one at that.

The Cabal whoever they are, don't want a free society filled with people who have anything more than a 5th grade mentality.

I think some books and papers of history should have been burned a long time ago and not taught in the classroom either as i feel it would have prevented a lot of hostilities today.

I recall in the 70's the person I think is "deep throat", Henry Kissinger, was saying the US was too strong for the rest of the world. He was a member of the Council on Foreign relations. There are interested in bringing the world together one way or another apparently. The path to that, according to Kissinger, required the quote: dumbing down of America (I was floored to hear that phrase then), and it included creating higher wages in the rest of the world while holding back our wages until they were closer together.
Just what has happened.

Add in the Communist desire to destroy the morals and financial ability of the "target" country, targeted for take over, and we have a pattern that seems to fit the intentions laid out last Century.

And that is exactly what stupid does, burn the facts and we won't know what they are. If we don't know what they are we repeat them. Case closed.

Considering the outer material is all granite I don't think he would have burned anything down lighting a fire on the sidewalk next to the building.

I don't write the news, I share it with nice folks like you.

Thank god he didn't make it inside the building then, hey?

I seriously doubt he would have made it inside. Have you ever been there? A security and bag check is mandatory.

It's reprehensible what these thugs get away with on a daily basis because of their signorine, self inflated heightened stance over everyone else.

China's blue print is their wet dream in running the world on their terms, but it won't happen. Good triumphs over evil as they say, even if it means watching it all go down like it has so many times before.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

I suppose they shouldn't have even written the article informing People that it happened at all because, Granite.

They can do whatever they want, I just think it's totally sensationalized.

That's why the 'freedom' of the internet exist, the biggest pysop out there. All the mis-information in the world at your fingertips. The model has always been allow perceived freedom to the point of over exposure of 'options' until the point people ask daddy government to save them.

The vast majority of people struggle maintaining focus for mere minutes, we have limited time on this earth for things we want to enjoy, due to the things we have to do to make that possible. At some point too many options of mundane experiences and being taken advantage of people decide they want to mitigate the options for that choice, to limit the time of exposure to that particular choice to allow time for others. Bad consumerism= Bad capitalism as the people are the device that control the market. If consumers aren't diligent they give rise to bad practices, so this simple solution before was to control the money, as decrease in value limits time. Soon will be the time to take control of information as people have realized the fraudulence in market manipulation. The problem is that decades of bad consumerism created the rise of corporation controlled governments

At Gizmodo most of the comments are jokingly blaming Trump or his supporters for this act. That’s how completely under the liberal media spell these people are. I don’t know if there’s any hope left for this country.

We need to ban fires!

The history of Christianity and Islam at war for starters and then all the stuff that happened with the KKK. I know it was a crappy time to be black during the KKK years but a lot of blacks hold grudges now because of that time and the Muslims hold grudges because of the crusades etc...

There are also a lot of grudges against Germans living today who had nothing to do with WWII.

Because of History, these things won't be forgotten now because the children of today are still being taught about it and they will grow up resenting whoever.. the cycle will continue

You can't burn "it" down....because it's a "they"...3 separate buildings, and even more warehouses and duplicates in storage around the country as stated c/o Wikipedia, and multiple sources.

Ie: c/o: Wikipedia

"...the National Archives Building (informally known as "Archives I"), located north of the National Mall on Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C..

A sister facility, known as the National Archives at College Park ("Archives II") was opened 1994 near the University of Maryland, College Park.

The Washington National Records Center (WNRC), also located in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, is a large warehouse facility where federal records that are still under the control of the creating agency are stored. Federal government agencies pay a yearly fee for storage at the facility.

In accordance with federal records schedules, documents at WNRC are transferred to the legal custody of the National Archives after a certain time; this usually involves a relocation of the records to College Park. Temporary records at WNRC are either retained for a fee or destroyed after retention times have elapsed. WNRC also offers research services and maintains a small research room.

Across the United States, the National Archives maintains both research facilities and additional federal records centers (FRCs). In many cases, the research rooms of regional archives are located at the same site as the federal records center, which are inaccessible to the public."- c/o : wikipedia:
