If the American Revolution Had Never Happened, Would we all be living in Utopia?
Hmmmmm. How’s that Revolution going? If only the oligarchs who owned the ships and the plantations had paid their 2c tax. It was to help pay for the Royal Navy to protect them after all…… from the French. But no, they had to conspire with the French, didn’t they. How things change and remain the same.—amfortas
Nobody’s Opinion:
This was a comment from my Ausie friend, amfortas, on a recent post that I did last week, which basically was expressing how messed up America is right now. Newsflash-— before I start…so is England, France, Australia and Canada, Sweden, etc…anyone who keeps up with the news should know that. Amfortas never admits that the rest of the West and ALL their governments are in dire shape, not just the United States. Which means, to me I’m seeing all of this ‘Great Reset’ as a danger to the world,…amfortas?
Did you get vaccinated? You should be GLAD we won the American revolution. We came back and helped you defeat Hitler. England was almost destroyed. Sheer geography was on our side.
Funny how God works, isn’t it? God’s timeline is not on our timelines is it? (I’m beginning to think amfortas likes to bate me into great rants for YOUR education.) Are you amfortas? Playing devils’ advocate?
I think, God was on our side at that point in history. God knows best, I think you would agree. He helped us survive so we could come back and save the “Mother” country.
Yesterday I found this video from Dick Morris who expresses the historical fact that YES amfortas…England AND Americans (although at the time they were British subjects) fought in that war, and kept the French out of America. Not that they would have known what to do with it.
At that time, we were one people. France and England had been enemies LONG before the 7-year war. And anyone who has read Shakespeare and read about Cromwell knows that. The domination of the British Navy throughout the world in history is certainly familiar with the power that England once commanded. And then one by one, England’s empire deminished. The biggest being India, and the recent insanity: Hong Kong. A very small country has trouble keeping a bigger country in line.
What? Did you expect Trump to save Hong Kong? Who signed that ridiculous treaty? Oh, that’s right…England. Losing Hong Kong was a major blow to the West.
But it wasn’t just the taxes that drove the Americans to fight England. No, it was the Oligarths of the British governors that drove the Americans to fight. What…you think that only America had Oligarths? Compared to England we were paupers.
Like our own government now, British oligarths controlled the legislators the cities, the townships, and one by one, controlled who owned the land. And they took their orders from rich men overseas who were not even near the continent.
Basically, they started treating their own ‘citizens’ as a colony…like India. A great depression (due to inflation) was being suffered in the days leading up to the revolution. (Oh, those bankers) The British caused their own hatred in the colonies.
Arrogance has destroyed many a dream of power. And we are seeing that now at DAVOS. Their day WILL come.
That’s the trouble with “rulers” of all governments: The ‘elites’ take over, and find a way to rig the systems for themselves. Greed is in everyone’s DNA. Instead of trying to find a genetic code to make us all sick and die by destroying our immune systems, they should be finding the code to curtail the demand for power. (Fat chance)
Christianity was suppose to curb that tendency, but the VATICAN just couldn’t help itself. The Catholic church was another reason for the revolution, but that’s another blog.
It’s not reported much, but the American revolution was much about survival and trade. The British had a monoply on all trade, and even though Hancock was a diva, he wanted ‘free trade.’ He wanted to be able to ‘trade’ with the French, and Britain had a monopoly on it all. Britian became a dictatorship. And by the way, Hancock was trading ‘illegally’ too in those days agaisnt the patriots. Like a rich man, he was certainly very…BRITISH. And it wasn’t just the 7-year war that drained the British coffers now was it?
Americans wanted ‘free trade.” The freedom to sell their products anywhere. The British put a heavy boot on that. THEY controlled trade. The distance between the two countries didn’t help that matter much.
Once the British sent in the ‘troops’ to quell Sam Adam’s “mob”, and the Brits priced their tea so high the Americans couldn’t afford it, that started the Boston Tea Party and it took off from there. The ‘elites” (one of whom is “KING CHARLES” of England,) now want us all to stop eating meat.
(Wait, I’m having my tea and crumpets break— with a few crickets..I’ll be back.)
Yes, we got into a ‘trade’ war, long before the revolution.
You’re right amfortas: not much has changed. On the other hand, it doesn’t matter what country you live in, people CRAVE freedom. You could say THAT is in everyone’s DNA.. And freedom was craved by the little people in America who didn’t like it taken away. It wasn’t just John Hancock, it was the traders in New York, and Philiadelphia…Britian had a monoply on trade. Sam Adams was telling everyone to start making the products here in America to get out of the King’s unfair yoke. Just like we are being told to buy “AMERICAN” products now. China now makes most of our stuff. And the world is depended on big monopolies that use the slave labor in China to get them all rich and that will be hard to tame.
Actually, it was trade that made slaves out of the British colony of America. Remember, at the time England had a good foothold on the slave trade also.
So, being mad about the Americans joining up with the French in the American Revolution, seems a bit late to the historical playbook of humanity’s folly’s. We were…just being smart. When push came to shove, the people here wanted to drive their OWN destiny, and the French were only too willing to help.
As John Adams once noted, America was used to freedom, England being too far away to dictate what we should do on a daily basis. Until the 1760s. And then England wanted MORE money from us.
America defeated the greatest Navy in the world at that time. WE WON. And England’s very own arrogance helped in that matter. We won the revolution, and if not for Americans, England would be speaking German. (So would the French.)
We paid our debt to our ancestors in England MANY times over with thousands of American lives.
So what is England speaking now? What’s the most popular name in London?
Muhannmed. Amfortas…what’s your view on that? (I’m waiting)
Instead of being upset about old historical events in Western Civilization, the demise of the children of the British Empire (Both in England and America) should be more of a concern. America and its citizens have saved the world time and time again, England too has had a great hand in bringing countries out of poverty, and yet, she still carries that thorn of ‘IF ONLY” in her heart. In the meantime BOTH rulers of England and America want to erase all ‘white’ people from the planet so just their own lily white asses survive in their one world government plan.
It seems, we are joined again as one country. And none of the leaders of the U.S. or England are really driving the cart.
Nope. It’s those pesky Germans again.
White people are NOT easily ruled. Therefore, white previlage is being outlawed.
Sad to say but it’s true: once America goes, so goes the world to China.
But getting back to the everending story of amfortas being upset that WE WON the revolution in 1776.
If America had stayed under the thumb of Kings and Queens would history have been different?
I think that’s the thing that perhaps bothers amortas the most.
The one thing that America produced was a better Constitution, and that came out of that great revolution, which lead the biggest creative boom in the history of the world. And would that same outcome had happened under a Queen or King?
Nobody Knows. Freedom ruled for many years. Now, American Presidents act like Kings of Old England. Our Constitution is no longer followed by our own leaders. England isn’t free either.
Freedom is the ticket to ALL creative ideas, which promotes happiness and progress. And power in a few hands always comes to slavery.
Logically speaking, both the Americans and the British people should join together to fight the tyranny that is coming their way, and the tyranny that leads them at the top of their country.
We are, in the history of the planet, brothers and sisters in arms. Americans cheered the Canadians who stood up to Castro’s son. We will always cheer freedom fighters, at least the oldest of us.
So, once again amfortas…have some tea, and crumpet! And a glass in your bar of the finest ‘ale’ me lord, because the next revolution might not even be ours.
I’m beginning to think you just like to ‘get’ under my patriotic skin in order for me to EDUCATE everybody right?
And I thank you for that.
We might just be the side witnesses, to God’s great plans.
I just hope, the next revolution is a peaceful one. I hope, God has his angels working on a good plan.
In fact, I’m counting on it.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
