We need this kind of teaching back in schools. Along with civics and the constitution 🇺🇸

Home school your kids. You cannot change government schools, they belong to the corporation. I taught my son all about this. The "Laws of the Land" are the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. The Constitution is the rules for the corporation. The Peoples' only laws are the Bill of Rights. You are a free and private American. Act like it.

Some thoughts to clear my head's avatar

Great article...big history buff and love to wade thru revisionist nonsense to find real historical fact. Another big deal at this time was the passing of the Judicature Act in 1873, 2 yrs after the act that declared the gov of DC. Judicature act (most countries have one as do provinces and states, it is also akin to a Courts Act that establishes the courts jurisdictions and rules ect) set the stage for the "legal" realm to become supreme. It says it abolished Equity (higher court jurisdiction...look it up Coke v Ellesmere https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/renaissance-quarterly/article/abs/equity-and-ideas-coke-ellesmere-and-james-i/3BB614C40285423A949A5F3BDF0B5046) rules and procedures but it only set them in another place and enlarged legal land with colorable versions of equity rules that were way more malleable. It was a shame what they did to that court. Bleak House by Dickens was a 1800's hit piece on the Court of Equity. This was an article i posted on the corpratocracy that would have grown from what you lay out in your article.

It’s like in school I was handed a dot. Study and test on said dot. But no connection to any other dots or how the bigger picture might have been seen through the dots and their connections. I’m just paranoid enough to believe this was on purpose. And I’m sure glad I’m getting a second go at this now. Thank you IET. Lots to digest but grateful for the opportunity.

Very thoughtful compilation of events, the American History I studied in school never touched upon the financial aspect of waging war and the debts incurred. Thank you.

I like the fact you've given us a list of references, but it would be a lot easier & less time consuming if you made it possible to click on the link. The way it is we have to write the reference out & then type it into the browser, that takes a lot of time. I also wrote out a couple questions (for myself) as I read thru this first part, will need to find the answer to them & then maybe I'll share them with you, to see what your answer's would be. Thanks for the article, good reading. I did some research on the Act of 1871 several years ago, will have to go find my material on it & refresh my memory.
