A little something from Democracy in America, V.2, Ch.6 - What Sort Of Despotism Democratic Nations Have To Fear

...I think then that the species of oppression by which democratic nations are menaced is unlike anything which ever before existed in the world: our contemporaries will find no prototype of it in their memories....

I seek to trace the novel features under which despotism may appear in the world. The first thing that strikes the observation is an innumerable multitude of men all equal and alike, incessantly endeavoring to procure the petty and paltry pleasures with which they glut their lives. Each of them, living apart, is as a stranger to the fate of all the rest — his children and his private friends constitute to him the whole of mankind; as for the rest of his fellow-citizens, he is close to them, but he sees them not — he touches them, but he feels them not; he exists but in himself and for himself alone; and if his kindred still remain to him, he may be said at any rate to have lost his country. Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications, and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent, if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks on the contrary to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness: it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances — what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living? Thus it every day renders the exercise of the free agency of man less useful and less frequent; it circumscribes the will within a narrower range, and gradually robs a man of all the uses of himself. The principle of equality has prepared men for these things: it has predisposed men to endure them, and oftentimes to look on them as benefits.

After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp, and fashioned them at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a net-work of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided: men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting: such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to be nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. I have always thought that servitude of the regular, quiet, and gentle kind which I have just described, might be combined more easily than is commonly believed with some of the outward forms of freedom; and that it might even establish itself under the wing of the sovereignty of the people..........

Excellent comment, Nathan.

In my reply to Freedomrox, I did not take issue with the fact that the European banking cartel loaned money to the colonies nor that the U.S. agreed to repay those loans. I took issue with the assertion that King George had dictated terms to the U.S. and was somehow made a vassal of the banking families and/or England by agreeing to repay the loans they secured. [is it subversive to liberty to formally acknowledge 'I borrowed money and I agree to repay it' regardless of to whom it is owed?]

I also contested the idea that just because George claimed certain titles for himself and that the U.S. signed the treaty was in no way an admission by the U.S. that his claims were valid nor in any way ceded any sovereignty to him or anyone else.

If financial vassalage was what the British and/or the banking elite thought the treaty did they got a rude awakening in 1795 when the last foreign govt loan (France) was repaid by the U.S. (the U.S. did still owe money to private investors both foreign, most notably Dutch, and domestic)

In this instance I must agree with Mr. Freedomrox. It is very well known that King George III was the ultimate claimed (Pretender) ruler of France until 1797, as the Bank of London was allowed to ply it's trade before during and after the French Revolution of 1792. This was known as being done by "Monarchical Fiat". In other words, treaty compromises and threats of war. This continued for over 300 years.

The salient points being who was the financial lender of funds during this period? Again, Louis the XVI had very little power over the Bank, and attempted to garner more power to rid himself of it's competition. In his bid to do so and fill his coffers, his wife made the following statement after the harshest of taxes had been passed against the People of France, to wit; "Let them eat cake!" This of course lef to the French Revolution, but failed to rid France of English Financiers, especially, the Bauer's, (soon to be infamous as the Rothschild's.

King George was the Arch Treasurer from 1760-1820, as appointed by the Diet's Council of Electors, so no poetic license was taken here.

I therefore must agree that loans granted to the Colonies in revolt during the time of the Revolutionary War, and as were the loans granted by France were all made by the same Banking Consortium, consisting of the Rothschild's and the Habsburg's, of which Joseph II was the ruler of from  1780 to 1790. The Banking Consortium of the time consisted mainly of these two families.

It also must be held in mind that Joseph II's sister was Marie Antoinette, and quite mad in her own right. Her brother less so, but just as dictatorial in his own right by declaring the Vatican's official language to be German, and all his edicts to be absolute.

Nothing is ever as it seems. 

What is real Troy? Very little that you or I have ever been taught. True history is in the written word in books, and not in the State Sponsored books we were given to read in high school. 

Thank you all so much for your time and attention.

Larry,

Who has mentioned Columbus, or, whether or not he discovered America?

And there are other groups that are far more suited to the discussion of invisible beings and their designs on the world.
