HIGHWAY 39 – AMERICA & IMPERIALISM
America Searching for Their Distinct, Individual, Unique & Special Identity:
This chapter was written from the eyes of my grandparent’s incarnations here on Earth, with my overview of what they believed and what we now know to be true. They left Europe and what they knew to come to the making of a heaven here on Earth: America the great.
America, the home of the Free and the Brave? Are you sure? America was a team that was being built to change the world. Those who lived in the land were taught they were God’s choice. A Sky God of Protestant yoke that promised America would be their heaven now and that by working hard to build America there would be a heaven waiting for them in their afterlife.
Religious freedom? No way. The European Man whose culture was called a Jew was allowed to co-exist with the Protestants in the US because that Man did not have loyalty to a Pope. The Jew was only here in small numbers, and only the creation of European Nations in the later 19th Century increased that migration. The immigration of the Machats, the Goldens, the Appelbaums and the Bermans: my Grandparents’ families started then and there.
Arabs or their religious cousins the Muslims of the cities of the Middle East and Eastern Asia were from another planet in the eyes of the American inhabitant. They just did not exist. The Chinese were then imported to do the slave work on the west coast, building the Wild West and our railways as well as the Railroad villages that were soon to become ghost towns or cities.
The Africans came as slaves, but their lives as well as those of their descendants would make the foundation to our great country. Today these Blacks are the most American of all of our land. It was with their blood, sweat and fears that made our land. The Western Euro whites have their legacy too, and in the end all of us are the same, we are all Man. We just have teams from different lands here on Earth that we need to build as equals to support our physical needs while living on this planet.
The religion of the Catholics was and always will be a problem. This religion teaches you that the key to heaven is through the ridiculous Latin spoken ceremony of this Church; those ceremonies are nothing but voodoo. This religion was not yet ready to allow God and country to be equal, and therefore they were not wanted in America. That was until the blacks were freed by the 13th amendment to the US Constitution in 1866 and we needed slave labor, if the slaves were not to be owned. We let the Catholics of Ireland and those from the uniting Italy to come and work our land.
But there was no law to govern their lifestyles in the cities they built in the east of our land. So instead a mob rule, a hierarchy of social families was built that we now call mobsters. They at least protected their families, not like the ruling order that protected only their bank accounts. The Banksters.
Slave Labor: the Successor to Slavery to Build the New US Business Machine
This was a new social order created by need and outside the existing order that ignored these humans. They were not protected by our government society. They were just workers who reproduced. Remember, when we attach names to an order and call it wrong, it may not have been wrong when it first began. Law & order of equal support and equally applied rules was what the Italian or Irish or even the Jewish mobsters then tried to teach. They failed as we all do because power unchecked corrupts. It has always been that way and will always remain that way.
When the land was built from sea to shining sea, material was the next currency that America would build. This was when we became an Imperialist society that accepted all religions only if they accepted our Sadducee ways.
But when we built our nation, we were invaders and we destroyed the homes and lives of those who lived on the lands we “discovered.” We were so insane with our own self-importance that we did not recognize the rights of anyone else who happened to be there first. We at our own start were the unwanted yoke of European Man, even if we were Protestant. We were those who did not have, and we needed to leave home to make a home of our dreams. We traveled by ship and it was not a carnival cruise, but a death trap across the sea. Many died from disease caught in the very bad quarters on the ships coming to America, and a safe passage was not a guarantee.
We made our own world and home if we survived the passage. We just robbed, stole, lied and denied while praying to the big God in the sky that would reward us in the afterlife. Who are we, the living descendants of those who gave up everything they had to come and build their dreams in the New Jerusalem, America? Are we Sadducees, Pharisees or living Essences trying hard to override the existing orders to create the Heaven on Earth that we so wish would be. We are in control and we must lose our ignorance and fear of our past on Earth. We are just a continuation of that past, that past consciousness. We need to accept that those living in the past were no different than we are now. They were like us, humans living and exploring ways to be.
Only when we recognize this can we do what is required to fix the perceptions of the mind and allow the heart to rule and create the society that is the essence of who we are. I wish to remind everyone of the truth of our collective journey to the here and now, so we can forgive but not forget, and move onwards and upwards in a collective evolution of our one race of consciousness.
I will now share with you the nakedly true not politically correct story of the American rise to power and fame of the 20th Century. We did what all the others did too. We lied, we stole and we killed with God on our side until we got what we wanted, and each time we got it, we wanted more. This is the true Sadducee living and breathing inside us all.
US & Imperialism — Seeking to Become an Empire:
Victory in Tripoli:
Do you think our problems with the Arab or Muslim world started with oil and who and how we could control those who lived on land of the Middle East? Think again and read on. Our first non British-French International crisis began in the Mediterranean and was instigated by the North African States of the Ottoman Empire. These lands during the years of 1750-1815 are said to have enslaved about 1.5 million Europeans and Americans.
But these families from rulers of today’s Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Tunisia were merchants living the lie of Pharisee Muslim rule. They said the Qur’an (Koran) allowed them to enslave as well as to plunder the ships of the Christians. The rulers or what we called the barbarian Pirates enslaved those on the ships, and they plundered all the goods for their own personal enjoyment. BUT, Remember this, these ruling pirates were merchants and for a price you could buy the freedoms of those so enslaved.
I am unsure whether the Koran stated the slave price or just accepted this behavior. The Koran was not a living constitution and was subject to only absolute literal rule. There is no God but their God, so our western logic does not apply. When you read the Koran, in actual literal form, you will get sick just as you will when you read our Bible. Read to try to understand the behavior depicted by God on fellow man in the Bible and in the Koran as well as by man on fellow man in the name of the creator of all, an interventionist god. Later, God just rested and god got man to do God’s killing for God and a future seat next to god in heaven for the Christians and paradise for the Islamic.
The pirates of the Mediterranean were shocked by the fight the US put up when they came into the region with their gunboats under the leadership of Stephan Decatur. He with his marines at canon point demanded the liberation of the hostages as well as free trade and free passage to and from the Atlantic. As I said, this was the first US war overseas and the first time our flag was planted on some other nation’s soil. The wars continued until 1815 when the pirates finally agreed to stop stealing property and people from our ships.
Liberia & the US:
The next of our Imperialistic adventures were the attempts to colonize a portion of West Africa that we now call Liberia. This started in 1816 by the American Colonization Society. The ACS offered free emigration to Liberia, the colony so founded in 1820, to any black slave that became emancipated. The natives of the African land did not wish to have their sold kin returned and they, the natives, resisted this attempt by the US to return the slaves as it would just interfere with the ruling order of West Africa.
US Southerners ran the ACS. The first president of this Non-Government Office (NGO) was James Monroe — it is interesting that he should hold two separate posts at the same time. His first post was to remove the freed blacks from the US soil, as there was no need to keep them on the land if they were freed from their slavery. I must now note that if they were free and if they owned land, then they could vote as any other man, as stated in our Constitution. Monroe’s second job was to be the executive leader of our government, the President.
The Monroe Doctrine & the US Manifest Destiny:
Monroe was also the man who penned the Monroe Doctrine of 1823. This doctrine told the world European powers could no longer colonize the Americas or interfere with the affairs of sovereign nations located in the Americas, as only the US could do that. In return, our President promised not to interfere in European wars as well as wars with the colonies of the European nations, unless those wars were inside the Western Hemisphere. This was the basis of the US neutralization policy until the end of the 19th Century.
Stripped down, the Monroe Doctrine really stated the US leader’s true intent; only we, the USA were allowed to mess with as well as destroy the lives and families of those who were living and breathing south of our borders in what we proclaimed was our own hemisphere.
But let’s take a look at The Monroe Doctrine and the colony in Liberia. Isn’t the political perspective that went into these policies inconsistent with each other? So what was our real stance? Our real stance was we wanted to take what we could get. But our real propriety at that time was taking Northern Mexico and removing Indians who got in the way of our “God-ordained” right to own & control the land from sea to shining sea.
Monroe gave to us the Mantra and the Mantram of our Nation: Manifest Destiny. This is what every school child learns in America, and this is the justification to kill and steal and steal to kill. We were Christ’s answer to the world. We were the new chosen people of the new Biblical Land. AMERICA.
Oregon Settlement:
Before we started the Mexican war, which we the US say the Mexicans started when we annexed Texas, we needed to resolve the issue of how far north the US was granted sovereignty by other nations to rule the lands; this sovereignty they were seeking from both the Russians and the British. Russia? Yes, Russia was to our North in the land we now call Alaska. We did not wish to fight two separate wars with two or three different warring countries.
Up to our Northwest, the people who lived on those lands had no say. We only cared what our supposed equals had to say about who had the right to control the people and the land that had conflicting white European claims it.
You see, the British had their company, the Hudson Bay Company, privately owned but publicly protected with British boys ready to die to protect the rights of the elite property owning Brits. The Sadducee of that land only focused on winning, controlling and making profit for themselves. This Company started 175 years earlier in the Eastern Seaboard of Canada. The Brits wished to rule the new discovered world of their entrepreneurs and they protected business with guns and soldiers. You died for your Queen Victoria and God. Their mantra was God and their own Mary, Queen Victoria, who became a virgin after her husband, Prince Albert, her first cousin to died.
This Northwest region the British called the Colombia District. It was a fur-trading district of the Hudson Bay Company. We knew it then as the Oregon Territory. Plus, there were also the competing claims of the Spanish who had their flags planted there in the past, and the Russians who were moving on down from the North.
It was 1844 and the US presidential election produced a democratic candidate (there was no republican party then) who said the US must take over the entire Oregon region right up North to the Russian claim of parallel 54/40 North. This was not a Catholic land, unlike Mexico, we would only acquire Protestants as members of our league of states not Catholics. This was the fight our Senate had over whether or not we should take Mexico as stated in the minutes of the Senate back in the 1840s.
The 1844 election picked up the war fervor of the citizens who believed in the nationalistic cry of Manifest Destiny and wished to remove the British from this region. The previous administrations were trying to settle the boundaries at the 49th parallel.
The expansionist agenda of the winning democratic candidate Polk and his Democratic party now had the likely possibility of two wars on their hands. The two wars being the land called the Mexico and Oregon territories.
Truth, the Northern War was a bad idea. Britain would have a financial and supply issue to fight this war. There were no public roads or transportation across the continent to bring the supplies except by horse and stagecoach. Boats would take forever to get there. The US would have to move troops into the snow as opposed to the British who were fighting from the colder and moving south. Plus, the US wanted the south region from Mexico so to fight two separate wars would split the man power of a nation that did not have an army ready, willing and then able to fight. It was all volunteers by state militias at that time with only a united officers training school at West Point, NY.
Anyway, fear of losing prevails and both sides agree to settle the score at the previous US administrations choice of the 49th Parallel. Today, little is remembered that in Britain there was then talk of invading the land to the south and taking over the coast we now call California. The sitting British Parliament thought California would be a great location for the ruling gentry of the British Sadducee class to be able to retire and spend the twilight of their lives. Anyway, logic prevailed and the British Parliament tabled this warring thought.
The North of our US world was settled for good with our deal with Russia in 1867. But as I write this I realize that forever may be over as we are now claiming ownership of the land that is now defrosting around the North Pole. It should be interesting how this plays out. The nations of Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia as well as Canada all have border claims to this top region of our globe.
Back in 1867, the US bought this region and the purchase was called Stewart’s Folly, so named after our Secretary of State who made the US buy this land. Our government bought the Russian claim to the northern territories of our region in what is known as the Alaskan Purchase. This was done without threat or war. It was done because Russia was not A-listed with the banks and Russia needed cash that other nations would accept in trade to fight its wars against the Turks in their never-ending effort to have a warm seaport, as well as control of all the Serfs of the Balkans.
Are you starting to understand what the US is and always has been? Yes, we were a nationalistic and war making Imperial nation from the beginning. War making? Yes, we invaded Mexico to finish the southern and western pieces of our continental manifest self-claimed destiny. But we sold hope to white Europeans and therefore to others not living in our nation’s boundaries, we were the essence of what a nation should be: the home of the free and a community that was equal for all white man to join and own land property.
The US Invasion of Mexico:
Our next imperialistic move after the settling of the score at the 49th parallel was the Invasion of Mexico. We did this by annexing in 1845 Mexico’s disputed northern region, which called itself Texas. Texas was then a nation unto itself, a lone state.
Mexico got its freedom from the colonial Church and Spanish rule in 1822-23. The Spanish Rulers left and the Church with its male only ruling staff stayed on. This Pharisee land of Sky God and other spirits, who were fighting for the inhabitant’s controls, had no Protestant work ethic to make that land a ruler and bully like the land to her north: the Protestant working paradise called the United States of America.
I say other spirits because the consciousness of the two superior races that succumbed to white man’s disease had not disappeared in total from Mexico. Those spirits were the Mayans and the Aztecs cultures. They were still kicking from human birth in remote regions of this land.
Texas got her freedom from Mexico the previous decade during the Texas war for independence. The fight for independence is interesting.
Mexico had outlawed slavery in 1829 and the northern portion of Mexico, what was called Texas needed slaves, as their agrarian lifestyle needed full time workers on the farm. The communities had their war and separated in to two separate nations which each acknowledge had their right to separate peaceful existence. But Mexico lied. The national government of Mexico refused to honor their treaty.
So what happened? Well, the bully of the North says to Mexico, you signed the agreement with Texas and as they thought to themselves though we do not honor our treaties, we will make you honor yours. So war was in the air. We tried to settle our claims and ambitions on all of Northern Mexico, not just Texas. This included trying to buy California, but the Spanish side of the Mexicans said no — they had too much pride to sell under pressure of war, which they knew they would lose when they had not asked for the deal.
How far shall we the land of the free go in taking land from another community? Hear it, as the war cries were gathering and some were screaming, lets take it all not just the north. Congress was not sure this was a good thing, as it meant Catholics would be entering our nation.
Remember, our country was not for the Vatican to sit with us and rule. We spoke to Christ alone in our Protestant parishes. The Mexicans spoke to Christ through the ceremonies of the Vatican. We had our hands full with the Pope-ruled French culture from the acquisition of Louisiana. So, the anti-Catholics in Congress actually tried to stop this war as well as the land grab.
However, greed and belief in our manifest destiny and the corresponding need to finish the puzzle pieces of our US acquisition of lands by any means from sea to shinning sea took over. We were the biggest bullies of our hemisphere and with Protestant God on our side and industry to back our play, we beat the Mexicans real quick and got our new land.
The US southerners would regret the war. This war helped tip the balance to the north as opposed to keeping the issue of slavery balanced between Northern and Southern States, because other then Texas, the rest of our land acquisition became non-slave territory. There were finally more northern or western states without slaves than the southern half of our nation.
Before the Mexican War, the southern representatives voted in favor of the war, or to purchase the remaining southern territories missing to complete the US puzzle. They believed this would lead to more southern slave owning states. However, the discovery of gold in California changed the game. It changed it by having many in the nation head west for this gold rush, which helped populate non-Agrarian areas on the way to the west and the pacific thus, justifying them to seek statehood. These middle and northern states on the route to California would tip the balance in statehood and make the Civil War inevitable. Southern slave owning man was not yet ready to agree that owning slaves was despicable and wrong behavior in the land of the free.
After the war, Mexico was still the same mess they were as a nation during the war. The country had no central core to exist and compete on the Sadducee market. It would take the next hundred years for Mexico to have real Sadducee worth to the Sadducee world, and that highway was oil and holidays or the land to transport drugs the US declared illegal into the US market. Mexico went from revolution to revolution.
European Breech of our Monroe Doctrine:
The Monroe Doctrine was even breached by Napoleon III and his cousin Maximilien from Austria, when Napoleon placed his cousin on the throne (which he created) in Mexico. The US had our civil war and we were not able to enforce our rules against the invading French/Austrians. The Mexicans without our support got rid of the European ruler.
This Empire lasted three years and the death of Maximilien is remembered by the Cinco de Mayo liberation celebration of the Mexican lands.
