"Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!"
By D.D. for The Q
Wealth Report originally published in edition 48
Once upon a time there was a land called the Colonies controlled by the
King of England and all his men. This king had a foreign policy that
included trying to control the world by invading other countries,
stealing their resources, controlling the opium trade, then trying to
convert all subjects to his religious beliefs.
He financed his wars by over taxing all of his own countrymen. A few
people (only 3% of the population of the new colonies) did not agree with
the king's foreign policy and over-taxation, so they started a movement
to rebel against unfair taxation and abuses of personal freedoms. Most of
the news media had the people brainwashed by assuring the people that the
king's government had their best
interest at heart and would take care of them.
This 3% of the people were of all races and colors, including some Indian
tribes. They decided to throw
the king's ship-load of tea into the harbour in a city called Boston. The
king's men shot and killed some of these rebels (also called minutemen).
The first man killed by the king's men at this tea party was a black man
named Crispus Attucks.
97% of the people that lived in these colonies were scared to death of
the king and his men. Their
opinion was, "I have a pretty good life here, I have a piece of ground, a
few cows and horses, my garden
is good, my children have pretty good schools, we're not starving to
death. But, well, yeah the price of
cooking oil and oil for our lamps is a little high and going up every day,
and the bandits raid and kill a
few of us occasionally and, oh yeah, the property taxes are going higher
every year. But, if we complain
or speak freely against the king, we will be put in jail."
Many colonists simply said, "We're to busy with our everyday lives to
join any protest or revolution."
Some of the people thought the revolutionaries were fanatics and
unpatriotic for breaking the kings laws. One rebel named Thomas Jefferson
had a name for these people that supported the king: "sheepeople". He
referred to them as cowards that just let the king and his men herd them
around like sheep.
The king's people countered saying, "We live in this beautiful new world.
It's not perfect, but it's better
than what most people in the world have. The taxes are high and new laws
and regulations are eating
away at our freedoms but we just have to live with this."
As the revolutionaries continued to recruit their army, many of the
colonials they approached said, "We are loyal and patriotic to the king!"
A rebel named Ben Franklin told them, "We are at war! To use the word
patriotism is to suppress the truth."
Thomas Jefferson was trying to convince a fellow who was a ladies-man,
owned two gambling houses
and brothels, who had married a widow with lots of money and owned many
slaves (later he owned 315
slaves). This man was well respected and carried a lot of influence.
Jefferson knew he could help recruit
many freedom fighters.
We were taught early in life that this fellow cut down his father's
cherry tree and could not lie about this
deed. (This cherry tree story never happened, by the way. It is just
another lie we were taught in grade school as part of our brainwashing;
reference the Smithsonian Institute for the truth.) We all know this
man as the Father of our United States of America - George Washington! Mr.
Washington was later to become General Washington.
Since only 3% of the people would join their cause, these fellows had to
call on other nations such as the
Spanish, the French, and some Indian nations, to help them fight the
king's army. Many of the colonians fought on the side of the king. Some
didn't want any part of either side so they boarded ships that rounded
Florida and landed in a French possession called Louisiana. From New
Orleans they made their way up the Mississippi river, turned left at the
Arkansas river and some settled in a territory that was part of this
French possession later to be known as Oklahoma. This territory still has
towns and families with a name of French origin.
Today, most people that were born within the boundaries of what we call
the "Louisiana Purchase",
or any other former French territory, by French law, qualify for French
citizenship and passport. You were probably never taught or told this by
any U.S. government agency because they do not like citizens
having dual nationality, they can't control your life completely.
But a smart person never places all his eggs in one basket. You can never
put complete faith in any one government or country. During the
revolutionary war thousands of people left the colonies to live in South
America, between 1860 and 1870 during the American civil war over one
million Americans, both northerners and southerners, moved to Brazil.
Some of the richest farms and ranches in Brazil still belong to their
families.
During this revolutionary war general Washington and his rebels never
fought a major battle. Since they
were not trained as well as the king's men, they fought a guerrilla war,
raiding and surprising the king's men when they could. But where did
general Washington get his main information? One of George's best friends
was a Frenchman, the "duke of marquis". He and George did a lot of
womanizing
together.
The "duke" brought with him from France many ladies of the evening that
worked at General Washington's brothels and gambling establishments.
These ladies would entertain the officers of the king's army and
overheard their plans which were passed on to General Washington who in
turn would
surprise attack and win most of these battles over the king's men. (Sounds
like the bible's version of Joshua and the walls of Jericho with his main
information coming from a prostitute within the walls.)
So, Americans today can thank the French, Spanish, Indians, 3% of the
colony's population, and some
especially brave "ladies of the evening" for the way of life that you
have had for over 200 years. They had the determination, guts, and were
willing to sacrifice everything for their personal freedoms, religious
beliefs, and no taxation without representation, (like income tax). They
would be very upset to see the condition into which you have let the
country fall today.
Americans today are afraid of their government and are so weak as to let
themselves be herded around like sheep all over again. The war was fought
to make sure the people control the government, not to let some state or
federal bureaucracy control you.
You had better go back, read and study your constitution, bill of rights,
and declaration of independence. You might also learn the words to your
national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner",
because less than half of you know all the words.
As a distant cousin of mine, Patrick Henry, who fought along side General
Washington once said,
"Give me liberty or give me death."
Amen to that!
