From PSYOP-19 to PSYOP-HISTORY, reality inversion and propagandistic revisionism predicated on the One World Government's ideological state apparatus is intensifying and accelerating...
people have owned slaves for a very long time. Captives from wars always seem to have ended up as slaves. Rome had slaves. The MIddle Ages had slaves. I have seen a film about the houses in Africa where slaves departed for the US. I think that one was from Guinee or from Mali, it was not in Benin. I had already wondered, how Europeans would venture into the wilderness and capture healthy young men and women. They would get lost, and be unable to catch any of the natives I am sure. As for mistreating people - that is not new, either. How many people are harassed at work? Is paying your employees an wage too low to live off, slavery? Is it right not to give your employees paid vacation? paid sick time? Europe is in these things way ahead of the US. They have 4 weeks of paid vacation, a number of paid holidays (Christmas, Easter monday, national holidays) and a secure income even when you get sick. Here - nothing ! I know several people who don't even get a retirement. It looks admirable that people work till they are 100, but they might need to or they die for hunger ! Is that not a kind of slavery ?
Even if you're paid a "living wage," in many businesses you are still a slave. They downsize the department until you have to work many hours greater than 40 hrs/week. You get in trouble with management if you're sick. Your co-slaves make you pay for illness or vacation time off, if you're allowed to take it. The only ones immune are management.
put like that, I wonder if slaves had it better. Well they probably had to work more than 40 hours, or 38 like in Europe. But I think indeed, that American workers are very very poorly off.
Well CRAP. Now I see that we have been going down the tubes for a very very long time...ever since the creation of income taxes and the federal reserve.
Crap Crap Crap. Sorry, but I am so upset to learn that our forefathers foresaw even THIS, and we just chucked it away with the Supreme Courts agreement, to make ourselves slaves forever
Our Constitution was even better than I thought.....
God, I wish it wasn't too late to reverse it. With what we know now, and thank you for the lesson, and if we taught what you know to every citizen, maybe we could have avoided these mistakes. Crap I say again (begging pardon).
I so hope you are right and I am wrong. My gut tells me too late. My heart wants to fight like hell against letting this country go down. It is very true I think that after US, there is no place to run to.
In my college classes from 2009 to 2012 at CSN in Vegas, only about one in 300 students knew what a grassroot is or where a US citizen exercises the greatest power (hint: jury duty, because the jury's decision can CHANGE the law, based on what the jurors consider fair and just; lawyers hate a "runaway jury" because of that).
By the, of course, Civics had been out of high school curricula for decades...
We certainly are being destroyed by divisiveness. As for slavery, further facts in addition to valid point, always overlooked, brought be 2nd smartest. There is probably no-one in the US who does not have ancestors who were slaves. Slavery was constant throughout history across the world - not something unique to this nation in its early days. If one was in a community of any size and it was over run, then two choices, and not voluntary either - death or slavery. Anyone who has an ancestor, and that includes all, then that person has ancestors who were slaves. It was not, nor is it, a white vs black issue. The practice was universal. Shame our history teachings are ignorant of history.
You highlight interesting facts regarding the slave trade, indentured servitude, segregation and the reasoning at the time for the way things worked back in those specific eras. However, slavery was and will always be anathema to freedom as long as it exists. Today's slave-master can be tomorrow's slave, and slavery can only be maintained through violence or the threat of it. Using these facts to try to excuse what happened only plays into the revisionist's hands.
In the 50's in NC it was Racist but without hatred. It was just Tribal with White ascendency. There were Blacks in their upper and middle class, owning Black banks, insurance companies, restaurants with good food where Whites got "take out".
Segregation with More Opportunity would have accomplished a better society imo but We are Where We Are. My hope is that Blacks will take Responsibility for their own Tribe, but democRats will never let their fellow Blacks off the Socialist Plantation.
We have to keep screaming from the rooftops. My issue of the moment is the supplements regulation. In the meantime, however I am prepared to order massive quantities of soil and herbs. Thank you 2SMGW...you have no idea what an incredible public service you're doing.
Only 500,000 of the 10 million slaves taken from Africa came to British North America. Even after the importation of slaves trickled to a halt after the Revolution the Slave Population grew rapidly due to population growth. Contrast this with the Caribbean and other slave regions run by Italian and Spanish slave owners. They we're worked to death and had to be continuously replaced. Population only grew once the slavery ended due to economic reasons or rebellion.
Slaves in North America were considered valuable capital. The bankers realized too much profit was being eaten up caring for the young and old, and providing food, housing and healthcare. Wage slavery would be much better so the City of London took the initiative in banning slavery. It took the Civil War to end slavery in the US but they soon realized ending slavery would mean they could replace mans labour with machinery and the men operating the machinery would be less valuable than the machines. Human Capital was thus replaced with non-human Capital.
The jobless would migrate to the Cities where they would work at a pittance in factories due to a surplus of labour. After their long shifts they were on their own when it came to raising a family, housing, health care, food, etc and losing their job meant misery or death
The same is being played out today but this time the useless class or surplus labour will have nowhere to go but as a protein source for the few workers left (Soylent Green)
I took Black World Studies at Miami University and Professor Rodney Coates presented source material that made it very clear that Dahomey had enslaved black africans and sold them to slave traders. We spoke about this aspect of slavery in discussions in class as well. You should be more careful about making sweeping generalizations about what is taught at universities. The version of things that is represented in public facing propaganda is generally not the same as the things taught in academic programs. This is part of how a psyop works and how well-meaning critiques are dismissed on the basis of inaccuracies.
Dude, this piece is an atrocity. Insultingly ahistorical to anyone who's researched American slavery. I don't even know where to begin. First, slaves were nothing more than economic tools. They were often literally worked to death, especially in the sugar plantations of Mississippi. Why? Economics. It was cheaper to work them to death than to let them work slower, or use more slaves, and to keep and feed them year round. This is a historical fact. They were treated like farm animals, fed like farm animals, just enough crap food to keep them going. This piece reads like one of those atrocious "Hitler was a great leader, the truth about him has been all lies!" tropes. Really it's that bad. Read Frederick Law Olmstead's accounts from the time itself, or the journals of Frances Kemble. Plenty of first hand accounts from the actual period describing
Describing the reality of it. I've researched the hell out of this from first hand accounts of the period and written about it myself. The movie "12 Years a Slave" is actually an extremely accurate portrayal of the reality of being a slave. Meanwhile I'll unsubscribe from your substack because there is seriously no excuse for anyone with an IQ over 65 to print such garbage
Definitely can’t argue with pretty much everything you said Phillip. But if we’re dedicated to uncovering the truth, I think it’s necessary to concede the op-ed was fairly accurate on a few points, with the Origins of the slave trade from the Dahomey people and how modern scholarship has untruthfully revised certain parts of history’s more recent events being a few examples.
As an avid student student of the subject, you would most likely be aware of this more than most people, but the entire history of this issue is so much more complex than what most people realize, or may even want to admit.
For example, while the South as a whole may have just adapted and further utilized a slave trade that existed long before them, it’s also very obvious from reading first hand accounts that racial politics and antiquated thoughts on certain races being inferior played a MAJOR role in defining the politics of the day. And almost every one, anti-slavery & proslavery alike, was guilty of thinking that way: from Washington to Jefferson to Lincoln.
The pre-war South may not have invented it but, due to the environment they found themselves in, no one can deny that they wished to perpetuate the Peculiar Institution for economic reasons (as you well stated). Feelings of superiority over another race was the next ‘logical’ (and beyond terrible) step.
But like I mentioned at the beginning, it’s even way more complicated than that.
Yes it's complicated, and there are aspects to it that most people don't know. For instance, before they started importing Africans, they would use white people as slaves. There was a market for them, people who were kidnapped right off the docks in the UK or Europe. Thing is, white people could easily escape and disappear into the crowds. Having black African slaves took care of that problem. They couldn't escape and blend in. Also there were slaves who were so interbred with the whites that they looked as white as any Caucasian, yet were still kept as slaves, and talked like slaves and thought of themselves as slaves. One of the truly disturbing features of slavery in the American South was the fact that the slave owners or other whites (such as a caretaker or overseer) would have children with the blacks, and these children were the half-brothers and sisters of the fully white offspring, and these kids wouldn't even see what was coming until a certain age when the "black" ones were were forced to work in the fields while their white half-siblings didn't. Just so F*#!ed up.

I think both income taxes and especially property taxes are a form of slavery too.
A very important part.
You can't just retire and live with a wood stove and a candle. You still have to pay property taxes no matter how old you are.
100%
This is why the Founding Fathers wanted Alllodial Property Title and to this very day direct and un-apportioned taxation is ILLEGAL.

The American citizen knows more about Abraham Lincoln from the "Vampire Slayer" movie than any history book/class.
I once spoke to a group of high school students and only a few had ever heard of Guadalcanal and half of them saw it on TV.
Lincoln was anything but anti-slavery.
if you look deep into it, doubt it lincoln or others had much to with slavery. foreign phenomena

Thank you. 🙏
Eyes are opening and I pray that in the process the true facts about our history will be realized.
BBC a few months ago had an interesting documentary on lost Empires of Africa ... seems same kind of lining ...
Interesting and thought-provoking article. I placed a link to it into one of my articles,

Please, proofread your article and correct the typos; there is an unusually large number of them.
absolutely brilliant article.
Roberts continues to be fearless...
I need to read this, but everything we witness and experience today must be seen through the prism of the War of Inversion.
This substack's mission is to invert and expose the inversions.
Right before seeing your comment, and based on your latest column, I tweeted this.

Thank you for posting those links. I’d never heard the term The War of Inversion. That looked like a great summary

I shared an op ed piece written by an intelligent person.
We are not an echo chamber in this substack.
We review all kinds of news, data and opinions here.
PS I enjoyed 12 Years A Slave.

Also in some cities such as Charleston, there were free black business owners who owned black slaves. Kind of awkward, no?
