Part Two:
The Colonial Period
The First
Big Lie
Now step
back in time to the early 1600's...
The
colonists pretended that the land was vacant and open to claim. They discounted
the
Indians
because they weren't Christian.
The Second
Big Lie
Later, the
Colonists tried to buy the land from the Indians who told them that they didn't
own
the land –
the land owned the people. The Colonists ignored this and forced the Indians to
accept
“gifts” as payment and concocted contracts of sale based on this practice.
When you
think about it ….The Indians had it right!
This and
every other nation you can think of is founded on lies and false claims. Buying
and
selling and
taxing land is a con game in which we buy back the right to enjoy assets that
were
already
given to us (Genesis 1:26-28). Those in the middle – the “Trustees” - are
cheating us
and
enriching themselves whether its the Pope, the King of Spain, or the State of
Ohio.
Because the
Indians continued their efforts to being this fraud to everyone else's
attention, they
were deemed
“Enemies of the Crown” and subjected to physical and cultural genocide for 400
years.
Men, women,
and children...they died to bring you this basic truth. They were killed
because
they knew
and spoke this truth in your behalf as well as their own.
The Trust
--- Again
Native
Americans had their own vision of The Trust. In their view it was simple and
obvious.
1. The Trust
is SACRED and belongs equally to all people.
2. The Trust
requires our GRATITUDE. We cannot take without giving.
3. The Trust
requires CARE TAKING. This generation cannot destroy what is owed to the next.
It is every
adult's duty to hand over The Trust in the same or better condition that he
received it.
Anyone who
wastes resources or pollutes the world is viewed like a two year-old with a
hammer – too
ignorant to know better, dangerous, and needing guidance and discipline.
The
Europeans conquered by force and by guile, but they lost the moral debate
forever.
“Kill the
buffalo and you kill the Indians.”
--Commander
Wm . F. Cody
(but nobody
can accuse you of genocide....)
“Let us put
our minds together and see what kind of life we can make for our children.”
--Sitting
Bull
The French
and Indian War (American)
aka The
Thirty Years War (European)
We can't
call it The thirty Years War in American because that would admit that “The
French
and Indian
War” was an extension of The Thirty Year War in Europe, which would admit that
it
was all
Britain and France's fault that such a war existed.
That in turn
would show that Colonials were innocent Third Parties drawn into a British war-
for-profit
scheme, from which we did not profit and for which we were handed the bill.
This is a
recurrent theme” Britain starts a war with some other party, Americans fight
for the
British, and
then, America gets handed the bill for it.
~ The
American Revolution ~
What We Got
Out Of It:
We won
absolute control of the land jurisdiction.
Every
American has more civil authority on the land that the entire federal
government.
The
American Revolution
What King
George Got Out Of It
1. Permanent
control of American international commerce & shipping via control of the
jurisdiction
of the sea.
2. Tribute
in the form of minerals – gold, silver, copper.
3. No
further obligation to the Native aboriginal people to stop Westward
colonization.
4. No
obligation to send support, men, or supplies to the Colonies anymore.
5. The
Colonists now heavily in debt to King George and obligated to pay for funding
both
sides of the
conflict.
6. All
British commercial interests remained intact.
So, as a
result of the American Revolution, the Americans got control of the land
jurisdiction....
...but the
Brits retained control of the “High Seas and Navigable Inland Waterways”.
~ THE
JURISDICTIONS WERE SPLIT ~
This created
the need to set up two separate national trusts and created two separate
nations
with two
different kinds of citizens all living under one roof right from the start.
