“Do not let us forget Gettysburg”
The
Echoes of Gettysburg
“What will it take for
the echoes of Gettysburg to sound in our own ears once more?
We are presented with a
mockery of democracy, a puppet show of left versus right, in which both sides
are bought and sold, both sides controlled by the all-seeing blackmail of the
NSA’s surveillance, which serves, not our national security, but the security
of the criminal bankers and bloodlines.
The NSA protects a
government of the bankers, by the bankers, for the bankers...
What
an amazing sight it would be for the world, to see the American people
peacefully rise up to once more rid our nation of a deadly cancer, and restore
the freedom that once made us beloved! ”

“The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace, and
conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy,
more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as
public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I
have two great enemies: the Southern Army in front of me, and the financial
institutions in the rear. Of the two, the one in my rear is my greatest foe.”
– Abraham Lincoln, 1864
“The division of the United States into two federations of equal force
was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial power of Europe.
These bankers were afraid that the United States, if they remained in one block
and as one nation, would attain economical and financial independence, which
would upset their financial domination over the world.
The voice of the Rothschilds predominated. They foresaw the tremendous
booty if they could substitute two feeble democracies, indebted to the
financiers, to the vigorous Republic, confident and self-providing. Therefore
they started their emissaries in order to exploit the question of slavery and
thus dig an abyss between the two parts of the Republic.”
— German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, 1876
Otto von Bismarck knew whereof he spoke. The masterful Prussian
aristocrat whose “blood and iron” policy of
Realpolitik was so
admired by Henry Kissinger, and who accomplished the unification of Germany in
the latter part of the 19th century, was at the center of the high circles
of power in Europe for most of his life.
Here we have the word of an eyewitness participant to the unabashed
agenda of the Rothschild-controlled international banking elite: divide and
weaken the United States of America, and place the American people in
debt-slavery to the financiers.
But they failed.
Well, for a while. Another few decades of comparative freedom were won
for America when the Union forces defeated the Rothschild-backed
Confederacy. The slow and remorseless undermining of American
independence that had begun in the wake of the Revolution, the insidious
efforts to install a Rothschild-controlled central bank on American shores, had
been fiercely resisted by succeeding generations of patriots such as Thomas
Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln. The bankers finally
succeeded in 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the unconstitutional
Federal Reserve System into existence, placing a private, European-controlled
banking cartel in charge of America’s destiny. But that precious interval
of freedom, those decades of union and peace between 1865 and 1913, not
only destroyed the cancer of slavery, it allowed the American union (and the
American national character) to redefine itself in the image of Lincoln, the
unlikely backwoods hero whose vision of the sacred value of government “of the
people, by the people, for the people,” was burned forever into the national
soul by his martyrdom at the completion of our bloody catharsis.
Before the war, the American psyche was a thing divided: an almost
schizophrenic split between North and South; freedom versus slavery; unbridled
(and often abusive) free enterprise versus a nearly feudal agrarian society
ruled by a landed aristocracy whose vast cotton-empire was built on the
sanctification of the concept of owning another human being as property.
In
other words, America was, as Lincoln observed, “a house divided against itself”
which could not long endure half-slave and half-free.
But this political division was also a division of the spirit, of values,
of character – which sprung not from any moral superiority of Northerners over
Southerners but from the values of the contrasting systems under which they
lived, and from the pernicious effects on the human soul of the toleration of
slavery. Americans bred and raised in the South were (and to some
extent, still are) a different breed, and crossing the Mason-Dixon line from
the North was described by many as a journey into the past, from a land
characterized by energy, opportunity, and determination into a slow-paced and
dispirited one governed by archaic concepts of a chivalric code which masked
the brutal reality of “the freedom to oppress.”
This was the spiritually diseased America which existed before the Civil
War, and which the Rothschilds and the “high financial powers” of Europe sought
to make perpetual, so as to prevent a truly free Republic from defeating their
plan for global domination. The triumph of the Union forces, guided
by the uncanny political genius, by the superhuman patience and determination
of Abe Lincoln, defeated not only slavery and secession, but cured America of
what could so easily have been a fatal cancer, and allowed our national soul to
begin to express its true nature.
That uniquely American character by which the world once knew us, the
irrepressible American spirit, the clichéd Yankee “can-do” resourcefulness and
determination that sparked an astonishing Age of Invention, settled the
wilderness, survived the Depression, defeated fascism, and endured another
national catharsis in the 1960’s when the Civil War’s grim legacy of racism was
confronted by the Civil Rights movement –
that America only came into being
because of the sacrifices of the Civil War.
One hundred and fifty years ago today, tens
of thousands of Americans died at a small town in southern Pennsylvania,
turning back the brilliant Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia at
Gettysburg, ending his plan to march on Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
Washington, D.C, which would
likely have secured foreign recognition for the Confederacy, which would have
achieved the Rothschilds’ goal of a divided and indebted American people.
With the 20/20 perfection of historical hindsight, it is common to observe
that Gettysburg was the turning point of the war, that the “high water mark” of
the Confederacy’s chance for victory can be pinpointed to a low stone wall
called “the Angle” where Pickett’s Charge almost breached the Union line.
When the breach was quickly filled by reinforcements, and the encroaching
rebels killed or captured, the Confederacy’s decline was inevitable, some say,
from that moment. Other historians point to a key engagement of the
previous day, July 2nd, 1863, when the Confederates assaulted the lightly
defended Little Round Top with three successive charges. Had they overrun
this small hill, they could have rolled up the Union line with a deadly flank
assault, sending the Army of the Potomac in headlong retreat toward Washington,
with Robert E. Lee in hot pursuit.
A bookish professor-turned-soldier named Joshua Chamberlain commanded the
20th Maine defending Little Round Top, and his men knew they held the fate of
the nation in their hands. They repelled charge after charge….and then they ran
out of ammunition. And the Confederates attacked once more. And
as the rebels advanced uphill, Chamberlain gave the only order left to him –
“Fix bayonets! Charge!” The sight of this
suicidal attack of bayonet-wielding Yankees charging downhill towards them, sounding
a battle-frenzied scream, broke the fabled rebel nerve, and they turned tail
and ran.
Other such images from around the world may come to us today, of human
beings placing their lives on the line in the hope of freedom: the lone
protester facing the tank in Tiananmen Square in June of 1989; the fruit
vendor’s self-immolation in Tunisia that sparked the Arab Spring; or the
now-famous image of the calm Brazilian man speaking nose-to-nose to police
through a phalanx of riot-shields in Rio de Janeiro’s massive protests.
(For myself, I will carry the image of Nelu Wibawa in a Jakarta prison cell,
with Neil Keenan at his side, holding out against corruption for the chance to
free the wealth of mankind to finally serve the good of mankind.)
In our collective American shame at the brutal injustice of the war in Iraq,
of the horrors of Abu Ghraib prison, of the violation by the Bush regime of our
long-standing national prohibition against torture, of the appalling truth of
the false flag massacres of innocents by which the banking cabal has
manipulated America into supporting their bloody acquisition of humanity’s
resources for diabolical ends, in our shock at the unveiling of the heinous
history of America the Beautiful transformed into America the Debt Slave, or
America the Slothful, or America Asleep….
despite
the bleak weight of these grim facts, do not let us forget Gettysburg. Do not let us forget just why the
Rothschilds and their dark sect were (and are) so afraid of a free America, or
why they and their collaborators have labored so long to cage the American
spirit.
It is because once upon a time we actually were a beacon of freedom to
the world. In 1863, the United States of America was still a brave
and lonely experiment, a lone bloom of democracy amidst the choking weeds of
monarchy and despotism. While the criminal bankers helped foment our
bloody Civil War, it was one war whose outcome they could not control, and in
its wake the American spirit had a brief sunlit span of time in which to flourish.
That spirit has gone deep into our bones, into our national DNA, and it is why
we are finally waking up.
But now, it seems, the world must set the example for us, and must give us
these burning images of courage where once we gave it to them, as
the echoes
of Lincoln’s words at Gettysburg rebound across the canyon of the centuries to
remind us of who we once were. You will find those words in the
“Three Principles of The People” enunciated by China’s national hero Sun
Yat-Sen, when the Chinese first tried, a century ago, to achieve self-rule, a
direct quote of Lincoln’s truth – “of the people, by the people, for the
people.” And in France, once upon a time, they too looked to Lincoln, and
the French Republic quoted the Kentucky lawyer in their constitution – “of the
people, by the people, for the people.”
Can the sight of thirty-three million Egyptians standing up peacefully for
freedom awaken the American conscience? Or millions of Turks? Or
Spaniards? Or Brazilians?
What will it take for the echoes of Gettysburg to sound in our own ears
once more? We are presented with a mockery of democracy, a puppet
show of left versus right, in which both sides are bought and sold, both sides
controlled by the all-seeing blackmail of the NSA’s surveillance, which serves,
not our national security, but the security of the criminal bankers and
bloodlines. The NSA protects a government of the bankers, by the bankers,
for the bankers.
It was a long, slow slide from the peace and union won at Gettysburg to the
sad travesty of democracy we see today. But even as the war wound down to its
conclusion, Abraham Lincoln saw the coming peril. A few weeks before his
death, he wrote:
“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of my Country. Corporations have been
enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power
of the Country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the
prejudices of the People, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and
the Republic is destroyed.”
Even though Lincoln’s fears were realized, we may hope that the Republic
is not destroyed, but is rather in a deadly coma, wherein a flicker of life
lies dormant, waiting only for the spark of our courage to resurrect it. But
this time it must not be the courage to fix bayonets and charge. In our
time, that would only play into the plans of the dark sect, which even now
seeks a moment of chaos in which to impose martial law. We have the right
to our guns, and we can be grateful that we have a disciplined and responsible
network across the nation of community militias, but we must be wary of falling
into the trap of violence. God knows the cabal will stage it themselves
if they can, but we must expose them before they succeed.
We know that our militias stand ready to support the hoped-for legal actions
which have been prepared to bring the criminal sect to justice – justice
according to our founding documents, supported by local law enforcement, and
backed where needed by patriotic units of the military.
What an amazing sight it would be for the world, to see the American
people peacefully rise up to once more rid our nation of a deadly cancer, and
restore the freedom that once made us beloved! To read of the
sacrifices of Gettysburg, or of Valley Forge, or of Iwo Jima, or of Selma,
Alabama, to read the words of Dr. King, of John Kennedy, still can make us
proud to be Americans, despite the depressing bleakness of the last few
decades. When our true history is known, perhaps we will hold our heads
high once more. When we have restored the Republic, when the Federal
Reserve is dismantled, when our currency is a thing of value and not a cabal
slave-note, when our military is engaged in global humanitarian missions not
phony wars, when the truths of the false flags are exposed, when journalists
are free to write the truth, when our soil is freed of toxins and our skies are
cleansed of chemtrails, when seed grows freely from seed as God intended, and
we are finally ready to meet our hidden cousins above the earth and within it…
Will it be days, months, years? I don’t know. There are no
guarantees, and there are formidable forces arrayed against us. But the men of
the 20th Maine who fixed their bayonets on Little Round Top a hundred and
fifty years ago had no guarantees. And they had no ammunition
either. All they had was their willingness to sacrifice everything for an
idea of freedom. And all we can do is look to their example…
“…that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
