4th of July: From Celebration of Independence to Acceptance of Slavery?
It can be argued that the American war of independence against the British was the last just war in our history. You could add the War of 1812 when the English and European bankers took a stab at regaining central control but that’s it. We as a country were never threatened by external forces beyond that point. The threats were always internal. Bankers, corporations, corrupt politicians and their willing allies who hoped to gain favor and profit rigged the system.
Some will continue to say that the Civil War, WWI and the ‘good war’ WWII had to be fought to preserve our freedom. The only freedom won in these conflicts was for the few to be able to count their money unhindered and to impose taxes and fear on the ‘small people.’
The winds of war today are pushed along by media propaganda and an extensive network of social engineering psychopaths deeply funded by ultimately the bankers.
The pawns are the soldiers and the working classes who are forced to pay for it all through the system of what could be called indentured servitude. We are conditioned to think that we don’t have a choice. Pay the taxes of death or go to prison … or worse.

I think the myth of July 4th needs to be buried. That was a war by an elite to have and grab more power. Much more power and land than England wanted to offer. It has nothing to do with elites wanting the local yokel to be “free.” One can read history from both sides of the pond and then consider the Articles of Confederation, then consider the Anti-Federalist arguments against Federal rule, then look at the Treaty of Paris. That war was the first great Big Lie-and lookie look-we still are not free but remain in chains.
Well said.Stegiel.
