  William Bligh's Narrative of the Mutiny of the Bounty
A few pieces of pork were then thrown to us, and some cloaths, also the cutlasses I have already mentioned; and it was now that the armourer and carpenters called out to me to remember that they had no hand in the transaction.
Had their mutiny been occasioned by any grievances, either real or imaginary, I must have discovered symptoms of their discontent, which would have put me on my guard: but the case was far otherwise.
The allowance I issued to-day, was an ounce and a half of pork, a teaspoonful of rum, half a pint of cocoa-nut milk, and an ounce of bread.

During their sorrow they are silent, refrain from red paint and decoration, and from much food, especially from pork and honey; but have daily to throw a piece of honey-comb into the fire.
This was interrupted by the great mutiny of 1857, but as soon as the neck of that revolt was broken, it became more urgent than ever to provide such a resource, on account of the great number of prisoners daily fallings into our hands.

I've been reading an account of the Indian Mutiny of 1857, where Indian troops, angered by perceived insults to their religion and way of life, rose up against their British colonial masters and embarked on an orgy of violence and death that was put down with equal brutality by the colonial government and loyal soldiers.
The causes of the mutiny were many, but at the heart of it was the creeping Anglicization of India, and in particular, the Indian battalions of the army.
The mutiny was brutal, bloody and a much need lesson in the foolhardiness of colonial arrogance and the unwanted imposition of one culture onto another.

A few pieces of pork were thrown to us, and some clothes, also the cutlasses I have already mentioned; and it was then that the armourer and carpenters called out to me to remember that they had no hand in the transaction.
I was often solicited for this pork, but I considered it more proper to issue it in small quantities than to suffer it to be all used at once or twice, which would have been done if I had allowed it.
I issued an ounce of pork, in addition to the allowance of bread and water; but before we began to cat, every person stript, and having wrung their clothes through the sea-water, found much warmth and refreshment.

When Fletcher Christian rallied his supporters to mutiny aboard HMS Bounty on April 28, 1789, there was no thought of killing Lieutenant William Bligh.
The day after the mutiny, the launch landed at the nearby island of Tofoa, in the Fiji Islands, but one of the crew was killed by the inhabitants as they prepared to leave the next day.
With rations limited to one ounce of bread and four ounces of water daily (later reduced to half an ounce of bread and one ounce of water), Bligh decided to sail direct for the Dutch settlement at Timor, 3,600 miles to the west.

 Insights from the Oakwood mutiny - Jul. 30, 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The mutiny threw the spotlight on the infirmity of the democratic institutions restored by the EDSA People Power I uprising in 1986 and the vulnerability of the economy to political shocks and turbulence.
Their objective, commensurate to the number of their troops, was limited -- a business center, hoping that it would destroy business (both local and foreign) confidence and create uncertainty over the administration's ability to manage economic recovery and even survive the last few months of its term.
The rebels were disappointed that their mutiny did not catch fire inside the military and did not receive the support of the senior military leadership, which cast its lot with the government.

It is, he says, a tribute to the men and women of the AFP and their fellow soldiers and friends who once launched their own mutiny but had the “guts to accept failure” and returned to government fold.
Not a few of Mutiny’s walk in customers would engage Rombaoa -- who with his wife, Elaine, is at the food terminal almost every night to oversee operations -- in conversations about the military, the PMA training, and Oakwood when they learn that he is a military officer.

Estrada saw an opportunity in the mutiny to use the officers as he was walking at the end of the rope of his trial for plunder in the anti-graft court Sandiganbayan.
The mutiny glossed over a crucial element of success: public support, wider military support and an overwhelming public discontent over the ruling regime (which did not exist).
Private TV stations played into their hands by giving the rebels, during the early hours of the mutiny, all the access to dominate propaganda while the government, owing to its slow response, created a vacuum and allowed them to seize the propaganda initiative.

Although they are a much thinner (lower volume) market, pork bellies have a positive correlation with hogs, and an upside setup that enhances the bullish view in the pork complex.

 A Time For Mutiny?
If they mutiny and wipe out half the world’s most evil elites, it’d be funny to see, and messy to administer (if you think NYC or Wash. DC are dangerous now, wait till that shit comes down).
It’s a strike, as opposed to a mutiny (the semantic difference has to do with replacement of leaders), and while it is illegal under the UCMJ, if the order given was illegal to begin with a strike is justified.
But mutiny is punishable by death, and I have no doubt that the government would not hesitate to crack down on it’s own troops with lethal force if needed.

 Pork mutiny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On February 2 a group of armed Red Guard members crossed the Finnish-Soviet border near Kuolajärvi and Savukoski.
The incident derives its name from the fact that the leader of the Red Guardists, Janne Myyräläinen, stood on a crate that had formerly contained pork when he delivered his speech called the 'Declaration of Battle of the Red Guerilla Battalion of the North'.
After the speech, some 300 workers joined the battalion and were armed and given money.

The Indian Mutiny of 1857 has bitterly divided historians.
On the Right are those who regard the British fightback from the brink of disaster, and especially the heroic defence of the Lucknow Residency, as the finest hour of the Raj, an epic of courage and defiance even more impressive than Rorke's Drift in 1879.
On the Left are those who affect to despise the word "mutiny" and regard the rising of 1857 as a premature war of independence.

The paper cartridge had to have the corner bitten off to expose the powder charge to the cap, and the Indians hated being forced to put the round in their mouths, as it was offensive to their religions.
Beef or pork fat is too viscous to withstand tropical temperatures and would taint the powder if used in ctgs, imho.
In an effort to head off the trouble suggestions were made to allow the sepoys to make and apply their own lubricant, and to change the loading drill to allow for tearing the cartridge open with the hands rather than the teeth.
