The Father of the Warfare State

Excerpt:
"Abraham Lincoln is believed by many to have freed the slaves – though his Emancipation Proclamation freed no slaves outside the Confederacy, where it remained legal until after the attempt made by the Souther states to depart from a “union” they no longer wished to be part of had been militarily thwarted.

He is also held to be the founder of the Republican Party, which is true. He is thus arguably the founder of the Warfare State and one of the progenitors of etymological mind-manipulation.



Consider the Republican Party – as in the name, itself. Could there be anything less republican than the party that founded the consolidated state – and empire – that arose from the ashes of the “Civil War”? The latter bracketed within air fingers quote marks to make a point about etymological mind-manipulation as regards what began in 1861 and ended in 1865.

And what was that, precisely?"

    the South fired the first shot

    they had the right to leave the union, for the wrong reasons

    the north fought their right to leave, for the right reason (in the end)

    but along the way, the nation was lost, became much worse under Wilson and FDR

    and LBJ made us welfare slaves for the benefit of others not of our family, the courts have stayed away from that and now to try and take medicare, medicad will cause a civil war and do major harm

      You should read The Real Lincoln to be informed of the fedgov propaganda regarding
      the 'reasons' and how Lincoln refused to even discuss ways to end the occupation of
      Sumter peacefully to avoid war.
      It was a great example of a PsyWar on the American People.

          It was an excellent book. I read it after you recommended it a while ago here in the Gulch.

          Didn't you offer a link to a free pdf download or was it someone else? That's how I got it. I can't remember the link.

            I thought it was on archive.com but it may have been removed since then.

              It took a while, but found the link:

              https://annas-archive.org

              I can't seem to copy it so it goes to the book, but your link that works is in the Gulch topic "Happy Worst Presidents Day".

                    I can also recommend using 'coolreader' software to read electronic books on PC and on android phones.
                    It's a simple program for reading ebooks that doesn't take a lot of resources because it doesn't try to be
                    a book database, too. Very easy to use for reading books on your PC (Win 7,Win10) or android phone with
                    no copyright complications. Can do portrait or landscape (2 page) and you can select font size.
                    For PC:

                      Thanks, but I converted to all Apple in 2010. Though pricey, it was a good move then and in between, but since Steve Jobs isn't in there "crackin' heads" anymore things have been sliding down hill, but I'm still generally satisfied. The oldest Apple products I have are still working to this day - I'm typing this on a desktop purchased in 2010. The Kindle app on the desktops and laptops and iPhones works well, but I really like the Kindle Paperwhite and travel with it. The battery lasts for a very long time on a charge.

                        I'm more tethered to my computer (Win and Linux) than my phone.
                        I used an iphone6 for for several years until a few months ago. I switched back to android
                        because I dislike Apple's constant restrictions that ignore my needs in favor of theirs (and
                        Bigtech's and BigGov's.) Constantly asking me to login to my Apple account (when I rarely
                        if ever want to hassle with the stupid Apple store) was another frustration that I found no
                        way to fix. That iphone also couldn't pick up cell signals here very well and that was a
                        frequent issue. I could never send photos via message because it always stalled. (It was
                        supposed to use wifi, but never did so- never could determine why.) Text messages took a
                        loooong time and failed frequently, as did phone calls. The 'new' (2 year old) android phone
                        is infinitely better on connections and doing what I need a phone to do. While I had the iphone
                        I kept an old android phone to use for reading ebooks because I couldn't find an acceptable
                        iphone6 app just to read files that I loaded on my iphone.
                        I haven't had enough time yet to get frustrated with android the way I was with iphone. ;^)
