Falsehood And The Beat Goes On.

The Boston Tea Party probably is not the first deceptive act of the up and coming United States Of America. The colonists dressed as Mohawks and Narragansett Indians, the game of lie and pretend is embedded in his nature. The book they hold close to their heart says in Psalm 52: 2 thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor working deceitfully. ( 3) Thou lovest evil more than good and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Psalm 58: 3 confirms that Edom who is designated as the wicked is incapable of speaking the truth.

The act outlined above took place on December 16, 1773 about three years before the colonies declared themselves independent and started the revolutionary war. The war lasted for five years from 1776 - 1781. Bear with me and I will show you something many of you never learned in your American history class. You are taught that George Washington who was elected in 1789 is the first president of the United States and no one gives an explanation of what happened between 1781 and 1789.

The Articles of the Confederation did not work the way they wanted but several presidents served the USA under it. They were John Hanson 1781, Elias Boudinof 1783, Thomas Mifflin 1784, Richard Henry Lee 1785, Nathan Gormann 1786, Arthur St. Clair 1787 and Cyrus Griffin 1788; they were all elected president of the USA before George Washington was elected in 1789 under the newly ratified constitution which is the present constitution.

And then these same men, most of them professing to be devout Christians stated that all men were created equal and they had men in bondage both in the northern and southern States. The Southern states had the advantage economically, they grew crops that were more profitable but the North went to war pretending they would free the slaves while both candidates for president said if they could save the UNION without freeing the slaves they would do it. Article 1 of the 13th. Amendment of the constitution reads: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the USA or any place subject to their jurisdiction; the except here makes slavery a conditional thing. Is that the chained gangs?

In 1804 Haiti defeated the French and got their independence, the same people who helped the USA in their revolutionary war was now the subject of an embargo, it lasted for the first sixty years of its independence. Read the history and you will see the thanks Haiti got for helping a neighbor in the time of need. By 1893 the Hawaiians were not capable of governing themselves so the monarchy had to be deposed to make room for USA, 1898 Puerto Rico, Cuba and other Spanish colonial possession were added to the US empire.

Our problem with Iran did not start in 1979 with the taking of the hostages; do some research and look at 1953 when the CIA overthrew the democratically elected president. I have written about it in one of my articles. This story of deception is not new, the Congo which is in a civil war today, the cause being the assassination of Patrice Lumumba the first president who wanted the wealth of the Congo for its people. Yet, with all the lies and deception we are not ready to open our eyes, false stories of humanitarian purpose still get us thinking we are doing good when the operation is disguised to overthrow governments instead of handing out food to the people.
