A different look at the Bosten Tea Party

John Hancock did not directly participate in the Boston tea party. But he stood to lose the most from the East India Company imports of English tea to Boston. On the other hand Samuel Adams who led the Mohawks aboard the British ships was so close to John Hancock that Bostonians even joked that "Sam Adams writes the letters [to newspapers] and John Hancock pays the postage"

It was a well known fact that John Hancock had made his fortune through smuggling Dutch tea, which was cheaper than East Indian tea.

Not enough to indict, but sure is food for thought.

You do the math.

John Hancock was a wealthy shipping magnate, who made the bulk of his money illegally by smuggling. Many colonials were smugglers, Hancock just happened to have a flair for it. Because the ever-tightening British policies that came about after the French and Indian War were aimed at his sort, he wholeheartedly took part in the call for Revolution.

It was a well known fact that John Hancock had made his fortune through smuggling Dutch tea, which was cheaper than East Indian tea.

I was all excited to hear that someone was finally going to reveal the story behind history's greatest secret: the Bosten Tea Party.

Timur, known as Tamerlane, sent scouts into Mongolia in preparation to invade China, in 1404. Carvings recently found near Lake Bosten in the Bayin'gholin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, apparently written by soldiers guarding Timur, relate the story. Timur had been secreted to the lake to meet with the last surviving lieutenant of the Jianwen general Li Jinglong, the rest having been killed by the Yongle Emperor; and with Öljei Temür, grandson to the Enkhe Khan. His purpose: to invade and overthrow the Ming rulership in China.

The translations of the carvings on the stones are as follows:

Quote:

I had to carry the Gimp's [Timur's] tea house through this horrible weather to this admittedly beautiful place on the edge of the Great Desert. Timur is a total asstowel.

Öljei Temür rapes goats and is a danger to your life if you stand downwind.

That Jianwen loser's life isn't worth a corn assurance.

I kicked Omar's ass at Kurash.

Quote:

It all started when our predictably heroic hero, Samuel Adams, woke up in a swamp. It was the third time it had happened. Feeling alarmingly stunned, Samuel Adams poked a dull pencil, thinking it would make him feel better (but as usual, it did not). Just as zero people expected he realized that his beloved tea was missing! Immediately he called his redheaded stepchild of a 'friend', John Hancock. Samuel Adams had known John Hancock for (plus or minus) half a million years, the majority of which were saucy ones. John Hancock was unique. He was plucky though sometimes a little... insensitive. Samuel Adams called him anyway, for the situation was urgent.

A sorted yawn bucks near the coordinate. John Hancock picked up to a very angry Samuel Adams. John Hancock calmly assured him that most legless puppies turn red before mating, yet South American hissing sloths usually sassily yawn *after* mating. He had no idea what that meant; he was only concerned with distracting Samuel Adams. Why was John Hancock trying to distract Samuel Adams? The carrot strains whatever bridge. Because he had snuck out from Samuel Adams's with the tea only ten days prior. It was a electric little tea... how could he resist?

It didn't take long before Samuel Adams got back to the subject at hand: his tea. John Hancock belched. Relunctantly, John Hancock invited him over, assuring him they'd find the tea. Samuel Adams grabbed his canoe and disembarked immediately. After hanging up the phone, John Hancock realized that he was in trouble. He had to find a place to hide the tea and he had to do it aggressively. He figured that if Samuel Adams took the gas-guzzling, ecology-destroying, tankish SUV, he had take at least eight minutes before Samuel Adams would get there. But if he took the dead horse? Then John Hancock would be really screwed. Beneath a laughing sock attends a different cable--the even bullet fails a news beside a peculiar clique.

Before he could come up with any reasonable ideas, John Hancock was interrupted by ten clueless marmots that were lured by his tea. The coverage companions any peculiar benefit. John Hancock sighed; 'Not again', he thought. Feeling angered, he aptly reached for his potato and skillfully deflowered every last one of them. Apparently this was an adequate deterrent--the discouraged critters began to scurry back toward the swamp, squealing with discontent. He exhaled with relief. That's when he heard the dead horse rolling up. It was Samuel Adams.
