"One massive corporate militia takeover, many masks"

SUMMARY"One massive corporate militia takeover, many masks" (Nov 5, 2026). Tito's summary line, filed as LENS, with the Record beside it.
RECORD, company armies: chartered companies carried their own military power: the Virginia Company governed Jamestown under martial law ("Lawes Divine, Morall and Martiall," 1610–11); the English East India Company's private army numbered about 260,000 men by 1803, about twice the size of the British Army at the time (verify the figure); the Hudson's Bay Company and the Dutch West India Company held forts and armed men under charter.
RECORD, militias as settlers: colonial militia laws made armed service a duty (P218); Florida's Armed Occupation Act (1842) granted land to a "white man... able to bear arms" who settled on Seminole land; county militias and volunteers did much of the killing in California, Minnesota and Colorado (P241).
RECORD, the masks, literally: at the Boston Tea Party (December 16, 1773) many of the men disguised themselves as "Mohawks"; the Improved Order of Red Men (1834) used Native titles in a white men's lodge (P242)

PATTERNcharters, militias and lodges, each wearing a different face: company, colony, state, settler, "Mohawk."
