Q posted this on Friday the 13th. Read below…..

"Looking back, historians agree that two events occurred on December, Friday the 13th, 1776 that breathed new life into the American cause. The Knights Templar jinx of bad luck embraced Britain’s fortunes in the war for in one day, two events enacted by England’s military played right into Washington’s hands. And if the leader of the rebel army was prepared to act, and act quickly, without reservation nor fear of consequences, his rewards just might merit survival. And in these critical days of America’s chances, with the population accepting the oath of loyalty to the crown in droves and the army about to dissolve in expired enlistments, survival was more than what the new nation’s leaders could hope for. These were desperate times for the rebellion and Washington, attacked by his critics from all sides, was a desperate man. He willingly gambled all to grasp an opportunity that in all likelihood, would never present itself again. And in so doing, cast aside all doubt of his abilities as Commander-in-Chief, and set this new land on a course that ultimately would defy all odds and establish a government solely for and by the people."
