Revolutionary Leaders: Van Jones VS Sam Adams

Nobody Remembers

Revolutions. Sam Adams was the man who, along with Colonel James Otis, fanned the flames of the American Revolution. Van Jones has been trying to do the same, spark a ‘revolution.’  The progressives will tell you that Van Jones is just doing what our founders did…but…there IS a big difference. Van Jones wants redistribution of wealth, and reparations for slavery. Van Jones is a addmitted communist. Sam Adams fought for freedom.  Here’s a good explanation from Judge Napolitano:

“When America was in its infancy and struggling to find a culture and frustrated at governance from Great Britain, the word most frequently uttered in speeches and pamphlets and letters was not safety or taxes or peace; it was freedom.”

Two acts of Parliament broke the bonds with the mother country irreparably. The first was the Stamp Act, which was enforced by British soldiers writing their own search warrants and rummaging through the personal possessions of colonists looking to see whether they had purchased the government’s stamps. The second was the imposition of a tax to finance the Church of England, which the colonists were forced to pay, no matter their religious beliefs. (Think of Obama making the Catholic Church pay for abortions.)

The Stamp Act assaulted the right to be left alone in the home, and the tax for the Church of England assaulted the freedom to choose to support one’s own means of worship. The two taxes together caused many colonists to realize they needed to secede from England and form their own country in which freedom would be protected by the government, not assaulted by it.”

Boston had been on a slow boil for years before the stamp act.  Sam’s father, Deacon Adams lost his money in the Land Bank crash (think 2008) The family lost all its money, and Sam, unlike his dad, was a lousy businessman. Deacon Adams drew up Boston’s declarations of grievances against the British government, in 1731 as “Breaches of the Magna Charta, The Charter of Province and an Act of Parliament.” In 1740 the colony reached the crisis of an economics depression.They really don’t mention that in the history books do they?. But in the book Sam Adams: Pioneer in Propaganda” the author John C. Miller says this:

“The promoters of the Land Bank were frankly inflationist who proposed to bring back prosperity by flooding the country with paper bills and at the same time to ‘humble the Merchants” by taking the control of currency out of their hands.”

Sound familiar? Think Federal Reserve.

So, out of this ‘depression’ came two distinct social classes :rich and poor. The rich were the British governors who hoarded, and it wasn’t until 45 years later that the American  ‘revolution’ came..and it came with mobs.

The mobs of Boston, of which there were two…North and South, which by the way, didn’t get along until Sam Adams united them, had their nemesis in Thomas Hutchinson. HE outlawed paper money through Parliamentary legislation.

In 1750 the mob went after his house, and burned it. And he wasn’t the only one they went after: in fact they had a hit list of 15 houses.  

Hutchinson was their ‘Obama.”  Otis feared Hutchinson more because he used, ” soft words, a smiling countenance, fair promises and other tickling blandishments to gain his purpose.”

Nobody says that sounds like Obama…does it not?

Due to the depression of 1731, the merchants of America started  illegally trading with other countries and making themselves wealthy, not the British empire. The colonies were run by a few British oligarchic families. Sam Adams, who by this time had discovered his true talent, writing, spent his life continuing his father’s pastime: politics. Everyone read Sam Adams in the newspapers, and at night the citizens would go to the pubs and out of those pubs came the Sons of Liberty, formed in 1765. Of course, sometimes those “Sons of Liberty” got a little too drunk on rum and went looking for houses to burn.

King George had his own problems. He was in debt for the French and Indian War, (And his own wars against the French overseas) and the citizens of Britain thought the colonies were fat and happy,— THEY didn’t want to be taxed anymore. Something had to give. So, when the stamp act came, Sam lead the way with “no taxation without representation.” And Sam —-took control of the ‘mob’.

Sam was asking for British rights. If we were going to be taxed, then we should have a voice. That concept is from the English Magna Charta. People should have a voice, but the Americans didn’t. So Napolitano has it right. The revolution was mostly about our freedom.

Nobody Thinks that history seems to be repeating itself.  The American people are being taxed and put into a debt they can never repay, by an oligarchy much like the one that ruled us in the beginning.

The elites are well aware of the imparity. They know that the people are getting pretty fed up, as we did so long ago. That’s why they are taking our freedoms in the name of “protecting us.” They’ve made too many promises, and squandered trillions.

Many people are predicting “mobs” here in America.

Van Jones, wants to take control of those mobs. But, unlike Sam Adams, Van Jones is a communist. Communists make revolutions in order put in dictatorships, as a means to an end. Van Jones is calling for more protest this weekend.

Sam Adams, joined the two mobs of Boston, and brought us…in the end…freedom. Van Jones revolution will bring us…tyranny.

So next time you hear Van Jones talking about ‘revolution’ remember: Pick your revolutionary leaders well., or else next thing you know…you’ll be ordered to read Stalin’s’ exercise book, and all you will be able to afford to eat are vegetables grown in China.

Van Jones can take his “green” revolution and stick it where the sun don’t shine, which is probably what Sam would have said had been living in 2012. God Bless Sam Adams…In 1775, America picked the RIGHT revolutionary.

Will we do it again?

  1. “The first was the Stamp Act, which was enforced by British soldiers writing their own search warrants and rummaging through the personal possessions of colonists looking to see whether they had purchased the government’s stamps”

    Sounds like the nightly news in a dozen coutries around the world, but with American soldiers kicking the doors in without even bothering to write their own search warrants. Progress?

  2. I have learned not to go up against you in matters of the Adams’ family, Joy and am greatful for your wider knowledge of the precursors to the Revolution.

    Nevertheless, the revolt of the colonists was at great cost to Integrity. The oligarchs found allies in those who saw the opportunity to gain for themselves from the blood and treasure sacrifices of Britain. All that had previously been the property of Britain was ‘Nationalised’ albeit into private pockets, very much as later communists did and still do. Such historical actions do not stop Americans screaming blue murder when other countries do the same to them eg the confiscation of investments and materiel in and by South American countries (everything from banana crops and factories) to Lybia (oil fields) to all points east and west.

    I look at the greatest benefit to come out of that awful revolution – The magnificent Constitution, and the Declaration of Independance – High-Value lessons to an Integrity-hungry world – and see at least half the voting population tearing them up. I see one of the most productive and instructive nations going down the road to perdition. This Van Jones person is not alone and is cheered on by a very large number of American voters who seem oblivious to the rip-off of their own tax money by their ‘Representatives’, who then give it to the rich Oligarchs as before.

    The more things change, revolution or not, the more they remain the same.

    • As Alister Cooke has said in his papers..in the education of the Americans and the British about the American Revolution, both sides present a strong historical bias with their mother countries. None of our history report the Americans as trying to ‘steal’ from the Mother country, and evidently the British looked upon America as a colony, much as India…second class so to speak, and not equal.   The early immigrants ran from the Church of England…the Puritans, the Quakers…and the country pretty much ruled themselves because England was so far away. The “colony” of Jamestown could be considered sent to be “seeded” but later, most came here to escape England…and then all the other countries who lived under oppression. Not to mention, America was sold as a paradise at that time.   Probably the real truth as to what happened and the guilty parties involved..would be hard to figure out. I was just listening to an historian this morning who thought the Adams family were all quite mad. My own insight into the matter is that they could be bastards…(That’s what this historian said) but they were patriots and their biggest vice was that they were too honest, and too passionate and quick to express their opinions when they just should have been good politicians and kept their mouths shut. Good politicians…are secretive, look for opportunities to promote themselves. George Washington was excellent at that…the Adams’…not so much. LOL!   Can one be too honest? If your a politican..YES!   For instance, George Washington knew how important appearance was. He designed his own suits. He used his drama queen ability, very wisely. He kept his “opinions” to himself. John Adams was short, stout, not exactly good on a horse, and couldn’t stop talking. (Although he did when it really mattered) Even though we do not like to admit it…some people pick politicians on how they appear. For instance Obama is great to look at, and puts on good “presidential” stance. Rick Santorum, who would be a better candidate, does not. We don’t like to talk about this stuff “apprearance” but it never goes away. Beauty, and the human response to it, has not chanced since the first caveman choose the cavewoman that had the better ….whatever.   It’s in our “genes.”    As to the current mess in America, we really are at a sorry state…The pollution of ‘ambitious” men seem to rise to the top, no matter what country, or what political system. It’s keeping them in line that no one in history has figured out how too do. England, is not exactly a model of democracy anymore either, amforatas. So, as Daniel Hannan says, the best of us must join forces…to keep the best of the West. The World is just waiting for the Western fall. And you and I…being worlds apart…feel the same sorrow at what we see as a tragedy in history.
