Many a southern stars and stripes flag waver has quoted words of Robert E. Lee in regard to bringing the "country together" after the war of northern aggression against the Confederate States of America. It seems to me that the CSA as it stood when Lincoln Declared war on them by enlisting and recruiting a hostile army to invade then were on sound constitutional grounds. Washington D.C. says that there was no declared war and that this was the suppression of a rebellion. Yet 4 years after it started and over 600K in lost lives America embarked on a campaign of empire building that the world has never seen a comparison to. In today's world, Washington is engaged in a WAR ON TERROR, yet congress has not declared war. We invade countries around the world by the word of the President of Washington without any hesitation and without any declaration of war. Viet Nam, Korea, Somalia, the Balkins and a host of other areas of the world have been the host. All without an official declaration of war. Yet people still die..lots of them. Not for patriotism but for a delusion of patriotism that is actually a new world order program of de-nationalism and global conquest. The amazing inability of the people to discern when they are being led as sheep to the slaughter for no other reason than to increase the market share of some international Cabal of interlinked corporations controlling world Government is a common problem. The ability to determine whether or not the basic decisions in life and play are your own or whether they have been programmed into you by your manipulators so that you THINK they are your own is disturbing. Avoid the mainstream media for sure, FOX NEWS and the alphabet soup group, are well into the pockets and machinery of the "Beast". The hard part is telling wether or not the alternate media is not merely a set up by the mainstream to confuse and bewilder those seeking truth. Both sides of the battle controlled by one side. JOIN the ARMY... MY SON is in the WAR! I know someone over "there" and they will reenlist! They believe in what they are doing! The problem with all these statements is that a Rat in a maze also believes in what he is doing, it is just that his field of information and determination is controlled by someone other than himself and he has no thought of his own that are not placed there by the owner of the maze.
It is not patriotic to blindly serve what you are TOLD is your country, it is Idiotic. Worse yet it is treason against life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
The flag wavers are very adept at quoting those who agree with them, even going so far as to only selectively quoting their heroes when their quote will support their objective, and yet hide the opinions of those same people when they condemn their goal. One such quote and deed is by the great southern general Robert E. Lee.
on
October 2, 1865, Lee, in the presence of a notary public, Robert E. Lee signed the following prescribed oath. "I, Robert E. Lee, of Lexington, Virginia, do solemnly swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Union of the States thereunder, and that I will, in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves, so help me God."
And so many have used this early attempt By Mr. Lee as a propaganda ploy to force upon us a guilty feeling for not being a "real American" like Robert E. lee, For not standing a reciting the fascist Pledge to the Flag, (Mr. Lee never did). one such article even goes so far as to assume the Great general is sleeping more peacefully now that he has his official pardon by the great white father in Washington city! ( see article http://www.lewrockwell.com/jarvis/jarvis93.html ) Did you know that N.Y has an official Government agency called the Department of Mental Hygiene! They would like you to WASH your BRAIN of the following quote by the Great Southerner and General, who after reflection and contemplation finally awoke to the realization
that he had bee caught in the matrix and had been deceived. The truth is that Robert E . Lee would never today stand up in an SCV meeting and say the pledge of allegiance to the U.S. Flag.
January 5, 1866, to New York editor, C. Chauncey Burr: Lee stated "All the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government, as originally organized, should be administered in purity and truth."
And so finally a Robert E. Lee , who simply does not exist in the minds of the historically brainwashed said upon reflection to Governor Stockdale of the Republic of Texas"
"Governor, if I had foreseen the use those people designed to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me. Had I foreseen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand. "
Where stand YE? With Lee's conviction or with the "those people"? With Freedom or a very comfortable slavery?
