Entry: ABANDONING PEOPLE'S REVOLUTION FOR EMPIRE 7.5.2007


(James Madison "Father Of The Constitution")

There has been much debate about when the United States took its fateful voyage from that of People's Revolution to one of Empire. Some have posited it early as the Spanish American War, others have placed this departure after WW2 and the build-up of the National Security State. I place it before and immediately after the American Revolution.

In fact, I maintain that with the "founding fathers," and their statements regarding the nature of the New Nation, that this was their aim even before the Revolution. In other words, all of their documents, their recorded statements, the inflaming of the passions of the people, that their aim was an empire to span the world.  So you are going to read something here that you were never taught in your traditional classroom.


(George Washington)

You can see it in the descriptions that they attribute to the new country, take for instance some of the statements of George Washington. Who characterized the new country as an empire as "God's American Israel," and that their "mission" was to be a "trustee under God of the civilization of the world." You find abundant similar statements out of the founders of the republic.

Consider that all of the leaders were men of means, and that in the penning of the Constitution there was not one statement which accrued to the benefit and protection of the people - having to be forced in amendments by the people where initially not one "father" voted in favor of such protections for the people, it had to be forced on them. In fact, in the very deliberations found among those who wrote the constitution, the father of the said document, James Madison who spoke in the Federalist paper #10 of the "leveling impulses" that had to be discouraged among the people.


When White servitude is acknowledged as having existed in America, it is almost always termed as temporary "indentured servitude" or part of the convict trade, which, after the Revolution of 1776, centered on Australia instead of America. The "convicts" transported to America under the 1723 Waltham Act, perhaps numbered 100,000. The indentured servants who served a tidy little period of 4 to 7 years polishing the master's silver and china and then taking their place in colonial high society, were a minuscule fraction of the great unsung hundreds of thousands of White slaves who were worked to death in this country from the early l7th century onward.

Up to one-half of all the arrivals in the American colonies were Whites slaves and they were America's first slaves. These Whites were slaves for life, long before Blacks ever were. This slavery was even hereditary. White children born to White slaves were enslaved too. Whites were auctioned on the block with children sold and separated from their parents and wives sold and separated from their husbands.

The Establishment has created the misnomer of "indentured servitude" to explain away and minimize the fact of White slavery. But bound Whites in early America called themselves slaves. Nine-tenths of the White slavery in America was conducted without indentures of any kind but according to the so-called "custom of the country," as it was known, which was lifetime slavery administered by the White slave merchants themselves. So much for the grand early American life!


From the very beginning America, the myth of America - the land free of want and the disparity of the old feudal world,  just  DID NOT EXIST.  There were landed estates given to the few by the British crown, by 1700 the real estate in all of New York belonged to less than a dozen men - in 1760 fewer than 500 men in five colonial cities controlled most of the commerce, the banking, the mining, the manufacturing and most of the news papers and journals on the eastern seaboard - and THEY owned most of the land.

These framers of the Constitution wanted three things - a stronger central government for trade (in order to deal with other countries) and interstate commerce, and the last reason, the one left out by your teachers -  A STRONGER GOVERNMENT TO PUT DOWN INSURRECTIONS AND REBELLIONS AMONG THE POPULATION, BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WERE RESTLESS. In fact, people tried to take over state governments, there was broad agitation.  THE WEALTHY WANTED A STRONG CENTRAL GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS, NATIONAL CONTROL.



Shay's rebellion, from whence did this rebellion arise?  You would think that we were the ideal country by what is portrayed in school text books.  No, the revolution did not bring about an egalitarian society. Most were farmers and servants trying to raise themselves out of oppressive debt, in such soil Shay's rebellion took place.  Heavy rents, ruinous taxes, and low income were the lot of most 10 years after the war for "independence." Food riots, beggars in the streets, insurrections attempting to take over state governments.

After Shay's rebellion was put down, there were some very telling words spoken by General Henry Knox to George Washington - " They see the weakness of the government; they feel at once their own poverty, compared to the opulent, and their own force, and they are determined to make use of the latter in order to remedy the former. Their creed is that the property of the U.S. has been protected from the confiscations of Britain by the joint exertions of all,  and therefore should be the common property of all."



So the empire expands first internally with the genocide of the indigenous population, and than within proximity over sea, and finally internationally to the present day. The 19th century United States:  Louisiana Purchase, War of 1812, acquisition of the Florida's, Mexican War and Oregon territory, establishment of Caribbean and Pacific interests, and the subsequent emergence at the end of the century, with the Spanish American War and Philippine conquest, of the United States as a global power.  We end at 1904 with a United States fully involved in Asia (Open Door Policy) and having acquired an overseas empire based on Spanish possessions from the original Columbian-era out thrusts (Caribbean and Philippines).

Empire came in the name of "Interventionism." Although US investment and influence had grown through the 19th century, European ties remained of greater importance for most Latin American nations. However, beginning in 1898, a few key events catapulted the US into a much greater role in the Latin American arena.  The War of 1898 [Spanish-American War], the US gained real estate in the Caribbean. We took over Puerto Rico from Spain. Historians debate the exact mix of causes for the war, however it was the expansion of the Empire, plain and simple.


("Faces Of American Empire, Lies, Greed, Hubris, Fear - by Garcilazo)

We can progress through the expansion of the Empire, unable to stop and thrusting itself and the people into two world wars, where America begins to don the mantle of Empire from it's European counterparts. To the present with over 700 military bases throughout the world, devouring what it can as swiftly as possible to the present day Middle Eastern debacles. The cost of the whole sordid affair being the enrichment mostly a the few elite whom this government is an exclusive franchise for, and to the destruction of people domestically and abroad.

SO THE SUSPICIONS AND THE FEARS FROM THE BEGINNING WERE FOUNDED,  AMERICA FROM IT'S INFANCY CARRIED DREAMS OF EMPIRE IN THE VERY BOSOM OF IT'S SO-CALLED FOUNDING FATHERS. IT CUT LOOSE THE TIE IMMEDIATELY FROM A PEOPLES REVOLUTION TO SET SAIL AT THE DESIRE OF AN ELITE AS AN EMPIRE. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR WHAT IT WAS FROM THE BEGINNING, WHEN THE PEOPLE WERE ISOLATED AND EXPLOITED ON IT'S OWN SOIL (OR SHOULD I SAY ON THE SOIL OF THE PEOPLE IT WAS INTENT ON GENOCIDING).

CERTAINLY THERE HAS BEEN DEMOCRATIC STRUGGLE, AND SOME VICTORIES HAVE BEEN WON FOR THE PEOPLE, NOT ALL IS BAD IN AMERICA BUT WHAT IS GOOD HAS ONLY COME FROM THE DEMOCRATIC ACTION OF THE PEOPLE (THE DEMOS) BUT THEY ARE ALL TENUOUS UNTIL THE PEOPLE REALIZE WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH IN THIS COUNTRY. NOW IT SEES ITSELF AS THE PAX AMERICANA, BUT IT IS BECOMING A POX AMERICANA TO IT'S OWN PEOPLE AND CONTINUES TO PLAY THE ROLE OF EMPIRE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD - WHEN WILL THE PEOPLE WAKE UP AND RETURN TO A PEOPLES REVOLUTION?

I was trying to find an article that was a short treatment, with a little more factual meat in it for you. Just so you could see that I am not standing in the wilderness by myself regarding the conclusions I have come to about Empire and it's beginnings in the United States. I found one that is not too taxing yet covers a good portion of what I siad here (I think it is better than pointing you to an army of books) - Written by A. Kent MacDougal professor emeritus of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley for the Monthly Review -

it is likely you are already aware that some of the videos have been removed from youtube because of a "violation of terms". it is supposed that the content offended the mind-controlled slaves of the illuminati who busy themselves serving up the kool-aid to perpetuate their masters' agenda. But to the point: white slavery is discussed in university classroom, especially those dealing in early u.s. american history. as this page so adroitly exposits, it is not a well-known chapter in the annals of the republic. it is just more manipulation of facts to keep the masses ignorant and plugged into the idiot box. your page will be sent to all our agents as a dossier by which they will remain resistant to illuminati influence.

The interesting part about white slavery is that most of white america don't know and won't believe that it existed as if it is impossible for slaves to have been white. I told a (white) friend of mine that white women were sold heavy during the conquering times and he looked at me as if I called his mom a prostitute. Knowledge is power and ignorance is dangerous.

I recently re-read Howard Zinn's "People's History..." and the dice have been loaded from the beginning! That book is always worth another reading every 3-5 years or so IMHO.
