Nobody Remembers the Free Men of Massachusetts Bay Colony, and the Lords Who Demanded to Rule Them

Nobody Remembers

I’m having a big problem listening to Obama trash the “rich” when he himself, lives higher on the hog than most men on the planet. Obama carries himself, like a Lord. He rules like a “King.” Obama is, by all measures of the world, what HE considers himself to be: A Lord of the World.

The “Lords’ of the world have been around since the beginning of history, as we see in this letter sent to the people of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In this letter, some elite Lords in London, made some pretty tyrannical demands. I thought I would see if their ‘demands’ sound anything like the Lords of our time make every single day.

It was 1636. Three Puritan Lords of Parliament (Lords Brooke, Saye, and Sele)  decided they wanted to leave London and travel to America.  After all, they helped with the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and decided it was time for them to go there. (Typically, after all the hard work had been done.)

So they wrote the people in Massachusetts, stating their demands. I’ve rewritten their demands below, copied from The History of the Colony of Massachusetts’s by Thomas Hutchinson, 1765.

Remember this was long before the Constitution.

Demand 1: That the Commonwealth should consist of two distinct ranks of men, whereof the one should be for them, and their heirs, gentlemen of the country: the other for them and their heirs freeholders.

(We have the Clintons dynasty, The Bush Dynasty, The McCain Dynasty, the Cheney Dynasty, and America also in 2013, has two distinct ranks of men now: It is now a hard fact: those who rule us, do not abide by the laws they impose on the rest of us: Obamacare is the prime example.  Congress does not have to abide by it, nor does our President. They ignore our Constitution. The politicians are now on top of the elite totem pole. Washington D.C. has the biggest concentration of rich people in the country.  To repeat the fine words of P.J. O’Rourke, we have a Parliament of Lordly Whores.)

Demand 2: That in these gentlemen and freeholders, assembled together, the chief power of the Commonwealth shall be place, both for making and repealing laws.

Demand 3: Without a mutual consent, nothing should be established.

(During the shutdown, Obama refused to hear any suggestions. He was the law. Therefore no help for the American people was ever allowed to even be discussed.)

Demand 4: That the first rank, consisting of gentlemen, should have power, for them and their heirs, to come to the parliaments or public assemblies and there to give their free votes personally: the second rank of freeholders should have the same power, for them and their heirs, of meeting and voting but by their deputies.

(What this means is that they want the real power of the powerful to remain with them and their families. Notice, Hillary is NEVER seen without Chelsea now. WHY do you think that is? The rest of us can vote for our local sheriff, that they have already hand-pick most of the time.)

Demand 5: That for facilitating and dispatch of business, and other reasons, the gentlemen and freeholders should and hold their meetings in two distinct houses.

(God forbid the rich elites have to mingle with the lowly working guy. It’s still the same. Good luck even getting a reporter into a Bildergberg or G20 meeting, or the White House.)

Demand 6: That there shall be set times for these meetings, annually or half yearly.

(I LOVE this one. Even the rich gentlemen of 1636 didn’t want to be bothered with having to actually WORK at governing.)

Demand 7: That it shall be the power of the parliament, thus constituted and assembled, to call the governor and all public officers to account, to create new officers, and to determine them already set up: and the better to stop the way to insolence and ambition, it may be ordered that all offices and fees of office shall, every parliament, determine, unless they be new confirmed the last day of every session. ion.

(Notice: “better to stop the way to insolence and ambition.” The elite government must control every single office and impose fees (taxes) and keep the ambitious low-life’s in their place.)

Demand 8. That the governor shall ever be chosen out of the rank of gentlemen.

(You have to be a very rich man to run for President. That’s a very small class of people. Most of the Tea Party people lost due to lack of funds against the big Rhino machine. Most all of our politicians are Lords from Harvard or Yale. )

Demand 9: That for the present, the Right Honorable the Lord Viscount Saye and Sele, the Lord Brooke, who have already been at great disbursements for the public works in New England and such other gentleman of approved sincerity and worth, as they before their personal remove, shall take into their number should be admitted for them and their heirs, gentlemen of the country.

(This is the excuse Hillary will use to be President: She has already served so much time given to the public good already.)

Demand 10: That the rank of freeholders shall be made up  of such as shall have so much personal estate there, as shall be thought fit for men of that condition, and have contributed some fit proportion to the public charge of the country, either by their disbursements of labors.

(The Lords wanted to limit the people who could be even be in the freeholders to rich people who gave big money, preferably to them and their projects. Can you say, GE? Google? Solydra?)

So what happened you may ask? Did those first Americans go for the bigwigs in London coming over and demanding they get to rule forever?

Wow. Things have not changed a bit, have they? So—what did the people of Massachusetts have to say about these demands?

John Cotton wrote them back: After beating around the bush, he politely said this:

But it is one thing to submit unto what they have no calling to reform: another thing voluntarily to ordain a form of government which, to the best discerning of many of us, is expressly contrary to rule. Nor need Your Lordship fear, that this course will lay such a foundation as nothing but a mere democracy can be built upon it.

Back then, even a lowly common Minister knew what our current President does not: that a mere democracy was not good enough for freedom, or America.

You know what?The Lords of 1636 stayed in England.

We’ve seem to come full circle. It’s 1636 all over again..
