To understand why America is broken we need to go back to the time before our nation was born.
The true story of the birth of our nation has been hidden by the mists of time and white washed by those who desire to keep the populace in the chains of ignorance. This has allowed them to literally get away with murder. I warn you here and now the information I present will not paint the founding of the United States in a favorable light, however it is the truth, nothing more, nothing less. That truth is the United States is a nation built on lies, by thieves and murders. It is essential for us to understand this disturbing fact if we are going to have any chance of getting ourselves out of this mess we’re in today.
Contrary to popular belief North America was not a trackless wilderness at the time of the arrival of the Europeans. No in fact it was home to millions of people with a diverse array of cultures. These people were well adapted to their environment and in their culture human beings had seemingly established an equilibrium, it was a life of balance with no monetary wealth and with no poverty. Theirs was a culture that revered the earth, for they knew it was the source of true wealth. Now don’t get me wrong there were problems like warfare and natural disasters, but compared to what was going on across the Atlantic it certainly was a paradise.
The Europeans that arrived on these shores left a home of scarce resources, of gross inequities between the rich and poor and a societal system contrived to maintain just that. It must have seemed to them that they had indeed arrived in paradise, for this was a land of true freedom and natural abundance. One little problem though, there were already people here.
At first the new arrivals unwittingly unleashed an epidemic of infectious disease upon the native populations. These diseases were unknown to these people and they had little to no immunity to them. The results were catastrophic. Some historians estimate that up to 80% of some populations died after initial contact. With the native population weakened it didn’t take long for the new arrivals to knowingly take advantage of the situation.
When the Europeans first arrived they were horribly inept at surviving in their new home and many perished. Despite the suffering the diseases caused the native people they took pity on the new arrivals and helped them learn the way to survive in their new land. It is certain without the help of the native people many more of the settlers would have died. We celebrate the generosity of these people with our Thanksgiving, but I know they look at things a little differently considering how things turned out
As time went on an inevitable clash of cultures occurred. The new arrivals numbers grew exponentially, while the native peoples populations were devastated. The settlers wanted land pure and simple but the native people’s culture was base on communal land management as opposed to ownership. The native people believed that by giving there would be enough for all. The settlers had a much different view of things that being what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine. These two opposing value systems set the stage for conflict and I propose the death of true freedom. The settlers connived the native people with trinkets to sign away their rights to the land. Problem was they had no comprehension of what they had done. It was flat out like stealing from a child although dressed up in the legalese of the day. This began the wholesale theft of the continent.
In time the native people got wise to these shenanigans but only after losing possession of most of the eastern seaboard. Then the colonist came up with the treaties ( in fact nothing but lies) in order to convince the natives that they were getting a deal by trading away a portion of their land away for security. But inevitability the settler’s hunger for land was insatiable, and the treaties were broken. When the native people protested these violations and resisted the invasion of their god given land well then colonist just killed them outright. Last time I checked that’s called murder.
So there you have it . There is no denying this country has as its foundation lies, theft and murder. The facts are right there if you care to investigate them. I could go into all the gory details but that’s not what this blog is about. My objective is to awaken your thirst for the truth, so go on now finish that one. Then come on back now ya hear and have another drink on me . To be continued…
