It's generally accepted that this nation began on July 4, 1776. It's taught in all of the schools. It's proclaimed in all of the media. It's a part of our heritage. It's also a lie. There's even a second lie, about which nation is designated in the first lie. The second lie is that this nation has been here all along. However, prior to the existence of the present United States of America, there were on this continent two other unions that had the same name. The second United States of America had a constitution called the Articles of Confederation. Its form of government was very different from that of the present United States of America. For example, it didn't have an executive branch. The point, however, is that the identical names don't mean much. They only make it easier to perpetuate the lie. They were entirely different unions. The first union wasn't even a single nation at all. The second United States of America began on March 1, 1781, when the Articles of Confederation went into force. The present United States of America began on March 4, 1789, when the Congress met for the first time under the authority of the present Constitution. Neither of those dates is July 4, 1776. Therefore, the Fourth of July doesn't commemorate the beginning of either nation. If all of the records proclaim that the country began on July 4, 1776 and has been here ever since, and if everyone accepts the lies, then the lies pass into history and become truth. However, the lies aren't the truth yet. The U.S. ministry of lies missed one lone copy of one lone book. That book passed through unknown hands for about 100 years and ended up in mine. That one lone book defies the lies.
The
celebration of the beginning of this nation on July 4 is a lie. However,
Reality Control isn't yet complete. It hasn't claimed my memory.
The lone copy of Bouvier's Law Dictionary still exists. When the
book is gone, when I'm dead, when my writing has all been dropped into
a memory hole, when all of the records are "rectified", and when everyone
chooses to forget the truth, then the lie will become the truth.

Scratch Tape:
Victory
at Sea
Reviewed by Sam Aurelius Milam III
Back in February of 2008 I had occasion to watch again, after many years, the old documentary series Victory at Sea. The documentary is presented as being an authentic account of the events of World War II, using actual combat footage. However, I was surprised at some of the scenes that I saw. There was a sequence in the episode Sealing the Breach in which a German submarine torpedoed an American cargo ship. Action inside of the German submarine was shown by what appeared to be authentic German footage, presumably captured after the war. After the successful torpedo attack, the order was given to prepare to surface. The intention, as the narrator announced a few moments later, was to fire the deck cannon. However, the order to prepare to surface wasn't presented by the narrator. It was presented as though it was a part of the sound-track of the German footage showing activity inside the submarine. When I saw the scene, I couldn't believe it. I had to put the DVD into reverse and watch the scene again. I did so several times before I accepted what I was observing. Later, while I was writing this article, I still wasn't sure that I'd observed it correctly so I dug out the DVD and played it again. Believe it or not, the order to prepare to surface was spoken in English. It wasn't spoken in German with English subtitles. On authentic, captured German footage of actual events in a German submarine during combat, the order to prepare to surface was spoken in English. To give credit where credit is due, the voice did have a remotely German accent. Speaking of torpedoes, there were throughout the documentary, many views of torpedoes being launched from German submarines during attacks on Allied shipping. The torpedoes were shown leaving the torpedo tubes, viewed from under water outside of the submarines. The views couldn't have been from hull-mounted cameras because they were taken from 15, or 20, or even 30 feet away, looking back toward the submarine. Are we expected to believe that the Germans had frogmen with cameras outside of their submarines, paddling frantically to keep up and taking pictures while the submarines were maneuvering into position during surprise attacks on Allied vessels? Torpedoes provide another opportunity for the viewer to exercise doublethink. There are many shots of German torpedoes whizzing along just below the surface of the water, filmed from alongside of or just ahead of the torpedoes. Are we to believe that the Germans had speedboats equipped with cameras pacing their torpedoes during their sneak attacks? Weren't they afraid that the Americans might wonder what the speedboats were doing? Then there are the many shots of periscopes traveling through the water. Maybe the Germans thought that those guys on the ships, the ones using binoculars to search for approaching submarines, wouldn't notice a speeding camera boat. The phoney footage wasn't presented as being explanatory. There weren't any disclaimers noting that some scenes were dramatizations or reenactments. It was all presented unapologetically as authentic footage of actual events. For PayPal payments, use editor@frontiersman.my3website.net.
