Congress removed these parts. There's some other telling little changes at the link.


He has incited treasonable insurrections of our fellow-citizens, with the allurements of forfeiture & confiscation of our property.

He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobium of INFIDEL Powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce. And that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people on whom he also obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed against the LIBERTIES of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the LIVES of another.

...Future ages will scarcely believe that the hardiness of one man adventured, within the short compass of twelve years only, to lay a foundation so broad & so undisguised for tyranny over a people fostered & fixed in principles of freedom.

What you mean is - that this was in a rough draft and not in the final product. because my memory of the history they used to teach in american schools is that right after July 4, 1776 they took hand-written copies of this Declaration, they transported them to many cities and villages and read them outloud to the people. Surely this passage must've been cut out before then.

Was Thomas Jefferson the prime author of the Declaration? I know he didn't do it by himself, there were multiple people inputting. there were many drafts.

I know in an early draft they said 'pursuit of property' and later changed it to 'pursuit of happiness'.

they probably wanted to avoid controversy over slavery in order to build political support for the revolution.

the anti-american types always loved to bash our country over every flaw. flaws such as slavery. we were given the slavery institution by england and the world of commerce. It was not our choice. there were always people inour country who knew that slavery was wrong. Washington freed his slaves, yet is bashed as a slave-owner. He inherited slaves and this is his crime. People say he should've freed them as soon as he had control over them. But that would've been cruel. It was illegal to be a free black person in Virginia. If he'd pushed them off of the land he'd have made them homelss in a hostile world. That he would not do. He kept his slaves in their homes and treated them decently. He had 2-3 times as many as he needed to work the land and he refused to sell or trade any of them unless they (the slave) agreed in writing to the deal. When he finally freed them he mandated that all of them get free education as much as they wanted and would only leave his property when they chose to do so. This is what Washington did, and yet he has been bashed as a slave-owner. So it is with our country too. our people conditioned to live with this anti-american impulse for so long when we were mis-understood. and then this evil comes onto our nation's leadership and so many are conditioned not to see it from the past criticisms of the anti-americans.

this document above proves there were many who had keen awareness that the slavery institution was wrong.

there were many slave-owners who treated their slaves very well. but the stereotype taught to the children in schools is to see something different.

I couldn't agree more. At the time of the Civil War (War of Northern Aggression) 8% of slave owners were blacks.

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds (smites) you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams ... and I concur !

The slavery of indians and whites is also NEVER taught in gubmint schools.

I believe the first legal slaveowner in America was black. I'll see if I can dig up the source.

Found it...it took some digging.

I was incorrect in my earlier assertion ("I believe the first legal slaveowner in America was black"). Johnson was the first in Virginia and he was black.


COLORED FREEMEN AS SLAVE OWNERS IN VIRGINIA, Journal of Negro History, June 1916

"...In thus sustaining the claim of Anth. Johnson to the perpetual service of John Casor the court gave judicial sanction to the right of Negroes to own slaves of their own race. Indeed no earlier record, to our knowledge, has been found of judicial support given to slavery in Virginia except as a punishment for crime. Additional gleanings from the records show that this black slavemaster was a respected citizen of wealth and one of the very earliest Negro arrivals upon this continent, if, indeed, he was not one of the first twenty brought in on the Dutch man-of-war in 1619. Every doubt of the correctness of this assertion should be banished by a perusal of the somewhat detailed evidence upon which the conclusion is based."

My computer is dragging, and I want to check out some of yesterday's threads before it totally crashes, so I'll leave you with this excerpt of a much longer article that you might find interesting:

"America, the land of the free and the home of the brave? or. . . the land of the fee and the home of the slave? The "American Revolution" is as well known an apparition as is the "War For Independence". Sadly, once again the spot-light is beamed upon a massive lie; in fact this one is a double-whammy. Not only was that war NOT a spontaneous uprising against tyranny, we Americans were fooled into believing we "won" that war.

Remembering that the Jews claim sole responsibility for the French Revolution -- in fact they claim responsibility for ALL revolutions-- consider the time line here:

1) The American revolution began in 1776, the alleged date of the 'founding' of the Illuminati, although the plan within Weishaupt's papers were probably given to Weishaupt by another source since the plan for World Dominion is eons old. As Douglas Reed mentioned in his chapter on the Protocols, one individual could not have devised such an intricate scheme.......

.....Jerry Klinger continues:

". . . The Jews tended to settle wherever doors were open; most frequently in the urban environments but also in rural and frontier areas. "Jews did not come seeking freedom of religion as much as freedom of opportunity.

"Traditional Judaism weakened in the face of American freedom of choice only to be reborn later with an American voice. The American Revolution, 1776-1783, did not start out intentionally as a revolution.

Of course it did: a well-planned and obviously long-time plotted Revolution.

"The British government failed to realize that the Colonials saw themselves as British Americans with the right to a voice in their affairs, to influence their laws, their economy their frontiers and their taxation. The Revolutionary war was to be the longest war in American history prior to Vietnam. It was fought over a one thousand five hundred mile front on the developed farmlands of thirteen colonies, on the sea and on the frontier.

"Oct. 25. 1765, a group of Philadelphia merchants gathered in the State House to sign the non-importation agreement to fight the hated Stamp Tax of the British government. The first man to step forward to sign his name was the president of Mikve Israel Congregation, Philadelphia's only synagogue, Mathias Bush.

"As the tensions between Britain and the American Colonies increased and finally erupted into war the American Colonial population was split almost into thirds; one third supported the war, one third was neutral and one third was pro British. The small Jewish population of America was also divided – the choice though was very heavily and disproportionately in favor and support of the American Revolution. Not only did the Jews pledge their fortunes and sacred honor for America but their very lives.

". . . in Philadelphia, July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was written. A copy was sent to Amsterdam via the small Dutch Caribbean Island of St. Eustatius. The Declaration was intercepted by the British at sea. "An accompanying letter with the Declaration of Independence was also intercepted and sent to London as being a secret code about the document that needed to be deciphered - the letter was written in Yiddish.

We might ask here: WHY was a copy of the Declaration of Independence sent to Amsterdam via the Jews at St. Eustatius? It is likely that the final details of the planned "American Revolution" were worked out from that quarter. We are not privy to the content of the letter that accompanied the document, just the fact that it was written in Yiddish.

This next recalls Reuben Finkh's assertion (from Chapter 12) that "Some of the Jewish traders of Newport and Philadelphia were among the largest ship owners in America".

"The war was not going well at first for the young American army. Though facing hard times and even defeat, Jews stood and fought along with their neighbors. . . . Joseph Simon from his frontier forge at Lancaster, Pa. supplied the Army with the famous Henry Rifles. Jewish trading merchants, peaceful before the war, outfitted their ships to become privateers and ravage the British at sea. ". . . In the area of finance the young American government might have foundered too except for the financial genius and personal financial risk and support taken on by Haym Solomon. Solomon was to die bankrupted by his total support of the American cause. Though small in number the Jews chose to cast their fate with America.

No; the Jews did not cast their fate with America. The Jews cast their fate -- as always -- with the Revolution. The story about Solomon "dying bankrupt" is questionable and highly unlikely, as we shall see that among other things he was a Rothschild agent. And, when we take a clear look at the past, beneath the lies into which we've all been born, America did not "win" the Revolutionary War, any more than Great Britain lost. More on that later....."
