[@lancerevell5979]

And eventually shoving the Festivus Pole up King George's hairy backside! 😅

[@ms.donaldson2533]

The FESTIVUS for the REST OF US comes when people REAL EYES that the Society of Jesus was NOT allowed to practice, because they controlled SLAVERY AND IMMIGRATION and the JEWISH MYSTICSS were UNWANTED when they won the Battle in Baltimore and recreated Ancient Jerusalem in CHARM CITY. Just BELEIVE, because if you question than you will find out how much was CREATED in CHARM CITY. People are DIVIDED by created beliefs that spread from "the patriotic gore that flecked the streets of Baltimore." Now, Johns Hopkins sits in the Middle East as a gleaming example of how INDULGENCES are used to CREATED REALITY. People were INTOLERABLE to the acts of a corrupt PRACTICE that they did NOT want infecting our nation, but look around "THE FATHER of" their created believes removed THY FATHER from the family and now there are people who forgot that he planted the seed of their creation. Much love from CHARM City. We celebrated "Festivus" with the Baltimore Ravens!

[@ms.donaldson2533]

The CORRUPT SECT that arrived to CREATE what people believe put my last name on the first monument to the war dead since Ancient Times and I was born in CHARM CITY. Just BELIEVE, because if you question, you learn the TRUTH!!! The INTOLERABLE acts were to ELIMINATE the Society of Jesus and the Jewish MYSTICS. Francis Scott Key helped to CREATE the American Bible Society and when the Bridge collapsed in March, Donald Trump raised the NEW Bible. So, just BELIVE that it was "just an accident." Jesuit Father Andrew White - Friday, November 22, 1633 April 19, 1776 - 1861 - 2015..... CREATED events to CONTROL the world. It was from CHARM CITY that Nancy Pelosi's father sent "The Exodus" to Israel in 1947 and everyone BELIEVES that it has been there forever. It was the 1950s that John Money CREATED the Non-Binary Movement and the Gender Clinic and now NO ONE understands THY Father planted the seed of their creation. My grandson's paternal bloodline found the Newark Mounds and Licking County, Ohio - it is now a Unesco world heritage site. There is NO more OUR COUNTRY - it created "the new world."

Years ago there ways a copy of a colonial letter published that mused why those that were doing the tea party selected tea. Which exactly matched THG's report. At first the protestors were going to dump cane sugar from the Caribbean which they were angry was so highly taxed. Cane sugar was used to make rum and a more refined version used by the people in the colonies. This would harm themselves more than it would send a message. Tea would do what they wanted to do and did little to harm themselves.

[@ms.donaldson2533]

Sovereignty was wanted by the people who BANNED the Society of Jesus from the new colonies. The INTOLERABLE Acts were written documents that FREE PEOPLE did NOT want a SECT to CREATE the narrative. By 1773, the Society of Jesus was suppressed and their Jewish Mystics "Friends" were UNWANTED. The only Roman Catholic Signer got his place, because Luther Martin walked out in protest to it. The Articles of Confederation were supposed to be rewritten, not a new Constitution. By 1814, the Mystics and Religious ZEALOTS won a Battle in Baltimore - raised a monument to the war dead and Francis Scott Key handed out their bound book of spells for free. 2024 was when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed and Donald Trump began selling the Bible of New World beliefs. Professor George Bush's work had a hand in the Zionist/Christian beliefs..... that is how his family had two serving Presidents when Americans watched their President get shot and their nation being attacked. FEAR will make people FOLLOW. Much love from CHARM CITY - question how much of your REAL WORLD is CREATED at Johns Hopkins. From the railroads to the music industry..... PROFITS of PROPHETS.

[@paulholmes672]

This also includes a common fact in history that a lot of the early colonists were trying real hard to abolish slavery, very early on, but there were too many political and economic forces against them, and so-called compromises reached. Ironically, if we had not left the United Kingdom, slaves might have been fully freed, kingdom wide, in around 1838, of course, ALL events are built upon prior history so who can really tell. In the end, the UK DID pay reparations, but to the previous slave owners. Thank you for your research and enlightenment, Professor Lance!

[@unclenogbad1509]

More history adds onto that. In order to pay those reparations (only to the owners, as you point out, the slaves were 'free' but required to serve as indentured labour before actually being freed) the UK government took out the biggest loan in it's history, not paid off until early THIS century. Such a huge cash injection would have lost value rapidly, so there was pressure to invest it, with the burgeoning Industrial Revolution being the ideal way to do so. Hence, the abolition of slavery provided the financial impetus driving the UK on to industrial pre-eminence in the 19th Century.

As so often happens the causes and driving forces behind major events in world history are always over simplified.

Is it possible to do some episodes on Thomas Paine, with emphases on his importance as a founding father? I believe reading Paine, Voltaire, Locke, among others, help paint a picture of what an American is. I believe that's a huge problem we have that no one can define what an American is. For me, an American is an individual that believes in their own, and everyone else's sovereignty. The individual expression of freedom out ways the importance of the group's freedom. We are a philosophical people that put the ideas, and principles of the Enlightenment Period first and foremost. We have no ethnicity, or creed. We only accept reason, and logic as an acceptable measure of a truth. We are flawed, but our foundation is strong, and we will overcome.

The AOC was this Nation’s first Constitution. It’s downfall was it didn’t give the Federal government the power to tax. In 1787, the Congress under the AOC gave permission to the Philadelphia Convention delegates to suggest changes to the AOC. Instead, they wrote an entire new document. They didn’t have permission to do that…it was a coup, in a sense. Thats why it was done in secret. But by the time the AOC Congress realized what was going on, they went along. The States then ratified.

Thank you for this 1. I thought I was well versed in the US revolution but have to admit my understanding was skewed to think New England was area most upset about taxation ect & that the southern colonies were more reluctant to revolution. I never even heard of the idea of a colonial Parliament. I did know about the lack of colonial manufacturing as I understand it to force purchase of UK goods in exchange for raw materials. I theorize that much of the loss of the UK Empire was due these type of restrictions in its colonies. WW1 &2 might not have hurt the UK as bad if they could have relied on the Manufacturing might of Canada, Australia & possibly India instead of just the USA & the home islands. These territories being independently industrialized may have made them more willing (due to good local economies) to remain colonies instead of commonwealth & independent nations.
