On This Day In History . 15 June 1215 . King John puts his seal on the Magna Carta at Runnymede . ◼ The document that has come to be known as Magna Carta or Great Charter, is recognized as a fundamental part of the English constitutional tradition. . ◼ In 1215 King John of England (r.1199–1216) fought more than forty English barons & their followers in a civil war. The king had angered the barons by extracting revenues based on their feudal obligations in order to fight a war in France. After John lost the war, the barons rebelled against the king. . ◼ The rebels first demanded that the king confirm the Charter of Henry I, a coronation charter from 1100 in which King Henry I had promised to abolish all evil customs that oppressed the realm. Additional grievances were added to the charter, which King John was forced to accept at Runnymede, 15 June 1215, after the rebels occupied London. . ◼ Magna Carta contains sixty-three chapters. Many of the chapters defined the king’s feudal rights over his vassals, preventing the king from arbitrarily collecting revenue from the barons. Chapter 39 established the right to due process of law, & in chapter 40 the king promised that he would not sell, deny, or delay justice to anyone. . ◼ The Magna Carta did not resolve the dispute between the barons & King John. Within months they were fighting again. In August 1215 the charter was annulled by Pope Innocent III, John’s feudal overlord, on the grounds that it had been executed under duress. In 1216, however, after John’s death the charter was reissued with some modifications. At the conclusion of the civil war in 1217, it was reissued again with minor revisions. This version of Magna Carta became part of the English constitutional tradition; confirmed by later kings & interpreted by Parliament, it is still revered as a symbol of English liberties. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayInHistory #TheYear1215 #MagnaCarta #TheGreatCharter #MagnaCarta1215 #JohnofEngland #KingJohnofEngland #HouseofPlantagenet #HouseofAngevin #History #EnglishMonarchy #BritishMonarchy #d15jun #otd #OnThisDay #RoyalHistory #historyinpictures #HistoryFacts #KingofEngland #theking #Plantagenets (at Runnymede) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJdyhPjHKa/?utm_medium=tumblr

The powers that were know that Wikileaks has presented truth to humanity on the atrocities committed on a global scale. They have a bone to pick with Julian Assange for exposing them. The code of ethics for journalism states that if it is in the public interest then it must be published. Assange has done nothing wrong by this journalism code of ethics. His arrest is directly connected to the selling out of the corrupt Equadorian President Lenin Moreno who was facing jail time. Moreno requested a M$4.2 bail out from the IMF. A request he was told he would receive if he handed over Assange and of course conveniently his corruption charges would disappear. What is humanity made of? A direct assault has been made on freedom of speech, journalism and truth. This is no time for idle hands because every moment that you spend being fearful donates energy back to the old structure of control. We are well beyond that level of thinking as a global force of consciousness to be reckoned with. Assange’s arrest is meant to be a shot over our bow to conform. This is humanity’s time to heed how far we have come and know that we are the stuff that can create everlasting change. #freespeech #democracy #powettothtepeople #magnacarta1215 #thegreatcharter #assange #humanity 🦄✨💞💫🙏 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwNunwRjQDI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8rnyaosr84l5
