Traitors to the American Revolution

by Thomas J. DiLorenzo


The Virginia statesman John Taylor of Caroline smoked out these political scoundrels in an 1823 book entitled New Views of the Constitution of the United States (reprinted in 2005 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd, of Union, New Jersey). Making extensive use of the recently published Secret Proceedings and Debates of the Constitutional Convention by Robert Yates, who attended the constitutional convention, Taylor shredded the false notions of "nationalists" like Hamilton (and later, Clay and Lincoln).

 

If the reader does read the article linked then there is no going back. There is no longer and excuse of ignorance. How much more will the lie cost in human life and misery?

The answer is ours.

I wrote the first post in this thread while eating a sandwich and reading the link.

I spoke too soon.


Apparently the Author of the piece is a State apologist, a proponent of despotism, and or simply ignorant.


Here:

But the nationalists failed in their endeavor; the Constitution created a confederacy of states that delegated only a few enumerated powers to the central government, which was to act as their agent, and for their benefit. All other powers were reserved to the people or the states.

and here:

The truth is that the language in the Constitution about it being "the supreme law of the land" only applies to the seventeen specific powers enumerated to the central government in Article I, Section 8. Nothing more. The states remain the ultimate sovereigns by the Constitution. "The constitutional laws of the states are equally supreme with those of the federal government"

Here is the Constitution of the United States of America:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.articlei.html#section8

To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;

Here is what Thomas J. DiLorenzo says about our 'Federal' and not 'National' government:

It was a federal, not a "national" government. Subsequently, "Colonel Hamilton . . . seems to have quitted the convention in despair, soon after the failure of his project" (p. 32).

According to Tom:

After the Seven Years War with France the king of England needed to pay off his war debts, so he stepped up the application of the corrupt mercantilist system to the American colonists.

Now: Guess what Hamilton wanted?

If you guess: Pay off war debts, then, pat yourself on the back. Not too hard. The war debt is a means to an end. The prize is this:

The American Revolution was waged against a highly centralized, nationalistic governmental tyranny run by a king, namely, the British Empire. The king enriched himself and his regime through the economic institution of mercantilism, defined by Murray Rothbard as "a system of statism which employed economic fallacy to build up a structure of imperial state power, as well as special subsidy and monopolistic privilege to individuals or groups favored by the state."

Today that 'mercantile system' is synonymous with the general currency (generally used as an intended meaning) of the term "Capitalism".

More specifically:

A "monopoly in currency" by the central government was another of Hamilton’s schemes that alarmed the senator from Virginia.

The prize is and always will be the ability to fraud people into the beief that something can be gained for nothing. It goes like this:

Give me the power to create money out of thin air exclusively and I will make sure that this power will never be abused.

The Constitution gave that power to Hamilton. Soon however that power was refuted by the people. The people started making their own currency and one form of the people's currency was whiskey.

The Constitution gave the power to suppress rebellions (succession or tax protest) to Washington. Washington then conscripted (enslaved) an army to suppress the creation of the people's money. This historical fact was rewritten as The Whiskey Rebellion.

It was not a rebellion for the privilege of getting drunk. It was the people's power to create currency.

Thomas J. DiLorenzo has it wrong. Tom is a state apologist on purpose or he is a dupe or I am the POPE.


These are the facts:

http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/milestones/whiskey/text.html

And whereas, it is in my judgment necessary under the circumstances of the case to take measures for calling forth the militia in order to suppress the combinations aforesaid, and to cause the laws to be duly executed; and I have accordingly determined so to do, feeling the deepest regret for the occasion, but withal the most solemn conviction that the essential interests of the Union demand it, that the very existence of government and the fundamental principles of social order are materially involved in the issue, and that the patriotism and firmness of all good citizens are seriously called upon, as occasions may require, to aid in the effectual suppression of so fatal a spirit; (G. Washington, By the President, Edm. Randolph - Source: Claypoole's Daily Advertiser, August 11, 1794)

The suppression of 'so fatal a spirit' was indoctirnated into the Constitution of the Unitied States of America by Alexander Hamilton and his fellow capitalists for the power to monopolize currency.

The Spirit that was SUPPRESSED is called LIBERTY.

Franklin was a renown author, publisher, amateur scientist, philosopher and statesman, and there was tremendous anticipation of his arrival. In England, the little news returned from the colonies was conveyed largely by disreputable sailors in equally disreputable places. Little was believed of these tales. Despite Franklin's reputation, it was broadly assumed he would prove a crude, uncultured woodsmen, hardly fit to represent his peers against the established power of the English monarchy. History however would prove his peers light years ahead of their time, and even the many generations who followed them.

Upon his arrival he was whisked to a prominent engagement, where, before the ruling class of England, Franklin, the guest of honor and object of great skepticism, was soon compelled to make a speech. Amid considerable ado, Franklin walked to the podium. He turned to survey his audience, and after adjusting the spectacles he had invented, he asks them, "What's your pleasure?" They beseeched he tell about the colonies.

Franklin was a student of the state of English affairs, and thinking how much despair the English "economy" suffered under the Bank of England, he composed his answer. He knew that even prominent lawyers spent a good part of the year behind on their rent. They often went hungry. Few non-aristocrats owned land. Many suffered from poor diet. Common citizens spent their lives hoping to pay imposing debt — ever hopeful of meaningful employment, and in constant, dire need.

Thinking to comfort them with the hope of the colonies, finally Franklin replied slowly and deliberately, that they might digest each phrase: "Well. You can leave your ship with just your baggage, walk beyond the furthest homestead, and become an immediate landowner."

Franklin was immediately interrupted by an outcry of disbelief. Once it began, practically the entire audience shouted the improbability of such a thing.

Knowing he spoke the perfect truth, Franklin calmly waited to resume his answer: "The forests are vast. You can cut down all the trees you can imagine, and build whatever kind of home you please. The soil is rich and fertile. You can clear all the land you want. You can plant practically any crop you desire, and it will grow with great vitality. There are unspoiled streams everywhere. The water is pure and good, and may be diverted to irrigate your fields. The wilderness is full of game, and there is no possible shortage of meat. The people are happy and busy, and prosperous."

End of speech.

Outright disclaim erupted. Angrily, a man shouted, "How can you possibly account for prosperity in the colonies?" A whole audience of doubters loudly saluted the question.

When they finally quieted, Franklin again answered steadily, "It's quite simple. We have created our own currency."

 

The British 'Mercantilist System' operators could not exploit the American economy without the power to monopolize currency. The British Standing Army (conscripted and purchased with wealth extracted from the colonies) invaded America to seize the monopoly of currency.

Hamilton and his capitalist system operators invaded western Pennsylvania for the same reason and that crime was legitimized by the United States Constitution of America.


Previous to the BIG LIE called the United States Constitution of America there existed an actual Federation of States under the Article of Confederation whereby THE PEOPLE in those States defeated the largest Army on the Planet with an all volunteer army and hired mercenaries paid for by the capitalist system operators who borrowed the money from the PEOPLE and then STOLE that money from THE PEOPLE after frauding the people with the BIG LIE that was sold as a Federation when in reality it was ORGANIZED CRIME and LEGALIZED SLAVERY.

The Civil War was fought over the same thing i.e. economic exploitation through the manipulation of currency.

By currency I mean: ALL FORMS OF CURRENCY including the power to inspire the minds and hearts of people through false language and including the power to enslave people through false money.

The Southern States didn't keep the Northern States DOLLAR. That would be silly.

The Norther States didn't let the Southern States create their 'own currency'.

Thomas J. DiLorenzo is whitewashing American history and I suspect he is doing so to maintain the current currency monopoly controlled by the Capitalist System.

You are the judge and no one else is the judge.

That is the American SPIRIT. Write it yourself.
