Yes, our forefathers fought one of the bloodiest wars in history and won their independence.  They understood the historical roots of war, injustice and oppression, and we’ve lost this knowledge. Our history books did, indeed, leave out a lot of the truth and lied about much of the rest.  History teachers often teach history in such a way that young students swear to never again study history! When I attempted to teach American History from sources outside the history books I was forced from my 26-year teaching career by my principal. We have been led and lulled to forget WHO we are. All this has been engineered by those who would keep us ignorant of the truth. 

The primary reason for the War for Independence was not “taxation without representation”, but the forced payment of taxes to the King in gold instead of paper money. America was flourishing by using her own “fiat money” system based only on production, not a gold-based system that could be manipulated by the King. The King could not “control” the fiat money system and therefore passed a law requiring that taxes be paid in gold only. The King had most of the gold—the colonies had little; so unemployment ensued—and embittered colonists cried for war. Benjamin Franklin put it this way, "The colonies would have gladly born the little tax on tea, and other matters, had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money."  Prior to the Revolutionary War, The Times of London said this regarding fiat money in America:   

"If this mischievous financial policy, which has its origins in North America, shall become endurrated down to a fixture, then that government will furnish its own money without cost.  It will pay off debts and be without debt.  It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world.  The brains and the wealth of all the countries will go to North America.  That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every Monarchy on the globe." 

The truth is that the Revolution failed.  You might say that we won a military victory over the most powerful military force on the planet at the time. However, reading the Treaty of Paris it is clear that we were not exactly negotiating as equals.  

We had won the recall of British troops but not the bankers. Even though we are taught that we won our independence from England, we actually were able to remain free from the international bankers for only a few years at the close of the presidency of Andrew Jackson. The most visible of the power structure was the East India Company owned by the bankers and the Crown in London, England.  This was an entirely private enterprise whose flag was adopted by Queen Elizabeth in 1600—thirteen red and white horizontal stripes with a blue rectangle in its upper left-hand corner. All debts owed before the war were to be collected by the foreign creditors.  

When the creditors of the new nation found the Articles of Confederation to be inadequate to exact payment from their young debtor, the Constitution was written and supported by the bankers through their associates, to increase their control over the United States of America.  Had the Articles of Confederation been completed and adopted, instead of the Constitution, the bankers would have had far less control.  

Any constitution must have some prior reference to establish its foundation.  The authority for the American Constitution is based upon the Bible; the Magna Carta, signed in 1215 by King John; the Petition of Rights, granted by King Charles I in 1628; the English Bill of Rights, granted by William and Mary in 1689; the right of habeas corpus, granted by King Charles II, and the Articles of Confederation.  Any and every constitution thereafter must have an enabling clause.  From this point onward, no constitution may diminish, in any manner, those rights already established in the above six documents.  

The Declaration of Independence established that all people are sovereign under God’s Natural Law. Sovereign people of the various states, created the state governments for the protection of their rights.  They delegated certain authority from the people’s powers by and through the state constitutions in order that the three branches of government could properly carry out the dictates outlined in the State constitutions to protect our rights. 

The States then created the united States.   

The American Constitution created a new structure of government that was established on a much higher plane than either the parliamentary system or the confederation of states.  It was a people's "constitutional republic," where a certain amount of power was delegated to the states and a certain amount was delegated to the federal government.  The United States, by way of the Congress of the United States, has certain powers delegated by the Constitution.  So far as the several States party to the Constitution are concerned, the United States may not exercise power not delegated by the Constitution. All power not delegated to the United States by the Constitution is reserved to the several States within their respective territorial borders—or, to the people.

British Subversion, Banks, and Treason 

Even though the Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War in 1783, the simple fact of our existence threatened the monarchies where it hurts most: financially.  The United States stood as a heroic role model for other nations, which inspired them to also struggle against oppressive monarchies. The French Revolution (1789-1799) and the Polish uprising (1794) were, in part, encouraged by the American Revolution.  Though we stood like a beacon of hope for most of the world, the monarchies regarded the United States as a political infection, the principle source of radical democracy that was destroying monarchies around the world.  The monarchies realized that if the principle source of that infection could be destroyed, the rest of the world might avoid the contagion and the monarchies would be saved.  

Knowing they couldn't destroy us militarily, they resorted to more covert methods of political and financial subversion, employing spies and secret agents skilled in bribery and legal deception; it was perhaps the first "cold war." In the 1794 Jay Treaty, the United States agreed to pay £600,000 sterling to King George III, as reparations for the American Revolution. The US Senate ratified the treaty in secret session and ordered that it not be published. When Benjamin Franklin's grandson published it anyway (perhaps our first whistleblower), the exposure and resulting public uproar so angered the Congress that it passed the Alien and Sedition Acts (1798) so federal judges could prosecute editors and publishers for reporting the truth about the government.

Since we supposedly had won the Revolutionary War, why would our Senators agree to pay reparations to the loser?  And why would they agree to pay £600,000 sterling, eleven years after the war ended?  It doesn't make sense, especially in light of the Senate's secrecy and later fury over being exposed… unless we assume our Senators had been bribed to serve the British monarchy and betray the American people!  That's treason!  

From the beginning, the United States Bank had been opposed by the Democratic-Republicans lead by Thomas Jefferson, but the Federalists (the pro-monarchy party) won the vote.  The initial capitalization was $10,000,000 -- 80% of which would be owned by foreign bankers.  Since the bank was authorized to lend up to $20,000,000 (double its paid capital), it was a profitable deal for both government and the bankers, since they could lend, and collect interest on $10,000,000 that didn't exist.  

However, the European bankers outfoxed the U.S. government, and by 1796, the US government owed the bank $6,200,000 and was forced to sell most of its shares. By 1802, our government owned no stock in the United States Bank! 

Thomas Jefferson had warned,  

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their  currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks...will deprive the people of  all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. 

 Several short-lived attempts to impose the central banking scheme on the United States were defeated by the patriotic efforts of Presidents Madison, Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren and Lincoln.
