So the
"Star-Spangled Banner" was inspired by a bloody fraternal
and fratricidal war of Anglo-Americans fighting their
English Cousins to maintain the freedom of a 38 year old
nation founded on a principal of "no illegal, non-consensual
taxes", right? What greater testimony to the pointlessness
and abject failure of it all....
The history of the world is such a strange process and
parade. The American Revolution was the beginning of many
things, not all of them good. English Colonists in America,
even genuine aristocrats like George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, and James Madison, were treated like inferiors by
the English Aristocrats and denied representation in
Parliament. How totally stupid was that?
So the English world split in half, instead of remaining
strong and united as a single Empire. And the story of the
Star Spangled Banner is the story of the British Empire's
last attempt (War of 1812, bicentennial of which just ended
in January of this year) to reunify the English speaking
world into a single nation.
But then
the American Revolution (even before the War of 1812)
inspired the French Revolution (which might or might NOT
have happened anyway), which turned into one of the most
brutal and appalling bloodbaths in the history of the world,
and ended up replacing the ancient Bourbon Royal Monarchy
with a Bourgeois Imperial Monarchy which was itself
overthrown and replaced (in part by the same British who
were trying to suppress the American Revolution) by a
restoration of the original Bourbon Monarchy after only 12
years under Napoleon I, which had followed the disastrous
and chaotic ten years of the French Republic after the
beheading of the Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette in 1792.
Napoleon's heraldic shield was a field of honeybees, whose
silhouettes were precisely Bourbon "Fleur de Lys" turned
upside down.....
(Oh, just as a footnote, Napoleon financed France's
transition from Republican "Consulate" to Empire in part by
selling off the last of the major French colonies to the
United States in 1803, making New Orleans into the biggest
Southern City of the USA for about a hundred years...)
And after
it's suppression the repressed seeds and spirit of the Red
Flag flying French Revolution inspired Karl Marx and others
to formulate a plan for world communism and revolution,
which was first announced and hatched in January-February
1848 by publishing the Communist Manifesto, exactly 33 year
after Napoleon was finally exiled to St. Helena and Andrew
Jackson won the final battle of the War of 1812 in January
1815 by repelling the British who were, coincidentally,
trying to take New Orleans, which had never been British at
all.
Although
it wasn't generally recognized until recently (the work of
Louisiana authors Walter Donald & James Donald Kennedy,
Thomas Lorenzo and others), the "first fruit" of the
Communist Manifesto (aside from the rather ironic second and
final over throw of the Bourbons and second and last
restoration of the Bonapartist Empire in France with
Napoleon III) was the so-called "Radical Republican"
Movement in the USA, where some enthusiastic
mechanized-Industrial-minded Northerners (including a
well-known, but taller and thinner, distant cousin of mine)
and German refugees from the failed communist revolutions of
1848 sought to conquer the largely Agrarian Southern United
States.
This war (1861-1865) is rightly called "the first modern
war"---the so-called "American Civil War" was ideologically
inspired (Marxist-inspired Centralist Absolutism justified
in the name of Centrally Planned Economic Altruism vs.
"Original American" Decentralized Individualism based on a
theory of "laissez-faire" idiosyncratic regional
development).
But in other ways, too, the American Civil War foreshadowed
the Great Wars of the 20th Century: just as the English and
American cousins sought to destroy each other at Fort
McHenry, giving rise to the American National Anthem, the
Northern and Southern American cousins enthusiastically
decided to hate each other, and the ultimate Northern
Victory set the tone for "Yankee Imperialism" and "We know
better than you how to run your country" Paternalism which
survives in the attempts at conformist-globalist planning
and "Nation-Building" in Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan
today....which will soon be followed in Syria, and perhaps
Iran, I'm sure, until all Muslim Countries learn to respect
the US-Israeli-UK based triangular hegemony (funny how we
have been working so closely with the British, whom we
originally overthrew, ever since 1917 anyhow....)
"When
someone makes a move, of which we don't approve, who is it
that always Intervenes? U.N. and O.A.S., they have their
place, I guess, but FIRST, we send the Marines. 'Cause
Might Makes Right, and 'til they've seen the light,
they've got to be protected, all their rights respected,
'til somebody we LIKE can be elected. The members of the
Corps, all HATE the thought of WAR, they'd rather kill
them off by peaceful means. Stop calling it aggression,
oh we HATE that expression, we only want for them to know
that we support the status quo. They love us everywhere
we go so when in doubt, we send the Marines."
But the
Yankee Imperialism of the Civil War definitely laid the
groundwork for U.S. expansion into the rest of the World,
first taking out the last Remnants of the four hundred year
old Spanish Empire in 1898, which began with Columbus in
1492, and just sort of "randomly" annexing the only
non-White sovereign nation in the Pacific (namely Hawaii) at
the same time....
And a mere
20 years later, we debuted in Europe's heavily mechanized,
industrial, "Great War" to save the British from their
German cousins. The Angles and the Saxons were originally
just insular Germanic tribes, so this was another "racially
fraternal war" in addition to the fact that King George V of
England, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, and Tsar Nicholas II
of Russia were all grand-children of Queen Victoria. Now,
ironically, Austria-Hungary was by almost any standards the
most "multi-cultural" and liberal nation in Europe in 1914
(as evidenced by the fact that they had abolished the Death
Penalty, even for the Bosnian Assassin of Archduke Ferdinand
the Heir to the Throne, and his Duchess, whose killer was
not even given a life sentence, though he died in prison).
But after the war, Austria-Hungary was forcibly divided to
promote "nationalism" in the (predictably "Balkanized")
Balkans and Eastern Europe, paving the way for the Cold War
domination by the fourth or fifth generation communists
after the communist manifesto which had ushered in the
French Second Empire and the American Civil War.
The seeds
for the American-British-Israeli hegemony mentioned above
were also set in stone in 1917, when the Jewish financiers
of Central Europe, historically German and Austrian, chose
to favor the British Empire after the English agreed (in the
Balfour Declaration) to the creation of a Jewish State in
what was then part of the Turkish Empire.....which had
allied itself with Germany and Austria for reasons which are
hardly comprehensible and had almost nothing to do with
fondness for the Social-Democracies which Germany and
Austria had founded and fomented, which were actually much
closer to the processes going on in England and France.
It was
widely believed that the great grandparents of these same
Financiers who decided the fate of the Great War by helping
to bring America in behind the British and French were also
responsible in part for the fall of Napoleon a hundred years
earlier and for the collapse of Tsarist Russia and the birth
of the first overtly communist state (the Soviet Union) in
that same fateful year of 1917.
Whatever
the truth of those rumors, they were widely enough believed
in Germany to turn the German and Austrian populations,
which had been the most open to the large Jewish populations
living among them, against these same populations, believed
to have, through their "upper echelons", "stabbed Germany
and Austria in the back" as a result of the Balfour
Declaration and the Jewish support for American intervention
against the Central European powers.
The rest,
as they say, "is history"---twenty one years after the end
of the "Great War" in November 1918, the world was already
sinking into the most violent and destructive of the three
Marxist-inspired wars beginning with the American Civil
War. World War II definitely wiped out the last of
traditional Europe everywhere. The British and French
Empires who "won" with American assistance rapidly collapsed
under American pressure after the War, and America divided
the World with the Soviet Union.
But
America itself had already become increasingly centralized
and socialistic, step-by-step, inch-by-inch, since "Cousin
Abe" office in 1861. Not so well-known in history as his
"war to free the slaves" (i.e. War to Centralize Economic
Planning and Power in the name of Socialistic Altruism), Abe
Lincoln also established the first U.S. Income Tax (as
proposed by the Communist Manifesto of 1861), the first
Federally planned Agricultural programs (Department of
Agriculture, 4H clubs, etc.), launched the first national
regulation of Industry, and established the precursor to the
Federal Reserve Banking system (who's distant antecedent,
the Third Bank of the United States, had been destroyed by
Andrew Jackson, hero of the Battle of New Orleans).
In a very
real sense, all of the economic innovation of the late 19th
century, including the dawn of the "Robber-Baron"
Corporatism of the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Carnegies,
etc., and their banking system trace to roots in Abe
Lincoln's Wartime Dictatorship of 1861-65. Like the
Biblical Abraham of Genesis for whom he was named, President
Lincoln was the author of a New Covenant, and a Patriarch
for Modern, un-free, heavily (and involuntarily) taxed
oligarchical America, whose "laws and regulations", like
Abraham's descendants described in Genesis 22:17, are as
numberless as the sands of the seashore and the stars of the
sky.... And like that first Abraham, who was willing to
slay his only son Isaac, Abraham Lincoln was willing to
sacrifice 600,000 sons of America, leading to hundreds of
thousands more dead in the 20th century.
So, I
guess, all this started with me listening to the rather
soupy, melodramatic "true story" of the inspiration for the
"Star-Spangled Banner." What have we really achieved in the
past two hundred years since we avoided re-annexation to the
British Empire? How different would the world be today if
American individualism had been reintegrated into the
greatest Empire on earth? Perhaps the banking system that
now oppresses us would never have come into being,
flourishing as it does on division and "brother wars",
cousin-against-cousin..... father against son.....Perhaps
socialism and world communism would never have triumphed
over individual freedom as they have. Perhaps the Income
Tax, that most oppressive and involuntary of all taxation
systems, would never have arisen, because there would be
fewer fratricidal "brother wars" in the world.
So was it
really a good thing? Has the survival of America as a
separate country really made us "free?" Or are we now all
groveling on our knees in the Obamanation, fearful of the
IRS, of the FBI, of the Department of Homeland Security as
it progressively centralizes even our local police
departments and prisons into one great big national system.
The speaker on that Narrative Kal gave us said that
Americans would rather die standing than live on their
knees, but I don't see it, my friends, I really don't see
it. We are arguably the least free nation on earth except
for North Korea.... Even "Red China," with close to ten
times our total population has less than one tenth of our
prison population (of course, that's in part because they
just kill most dissenters on the spot---bullets are much
cheaper than trials and prisons, even if it takes two or
three to kill one person as it sometimes does).
The Second
World War brought us the United Nations, a major step
towards World Government and the global abolition of all
free states (like and including the one saved at Fort
McHenry), government planning in almost every country at
every level of our lives which wipes out individual freedom,
and a new "Brave New World" Order where all traditional
values, including nationalism, freedom, and Christianity,
are scorned if not totally despised.
So, was it a real
win? Or just a "Famous Victory" of which nothing good
came at last?
Also try this
one.
