Dear American pedes,
I used to be jealous of the United States to some extent, specifically, the US constitution. I've always thought (and held the belief) that God raised the United States to be his champion, his Archangel Michael in the world, to spearhead his work to set His people free (from the Devil and his cabal).
Over the past 2.5 years (Lord, is it that long now), since C19 introduced a period of unparalleled difficulty, suffering and tribulation on the Australian people, I've come to learn about and value much more highly the foundation on which Australia was built.
Like the US, we have our sins and our skeletons. For the US, slavery was the key external one. For us, its that the Cabal took over this land by ignoring, destroying and attacking the indigenous peoples who lived here. At some point, that needs to be resolved, although I don't think it will be via a civil war like the US had to undergo.
Did you know that when the founding fathers of Australia designed our constitution, they consulted and adopted elements from the US constitution, the Swiss constitution and others? I only learned this (again) recently.
The thing is, the Aus constitution was fully and completely designed to put the Australian people in the driver's seat, perhaps even to a greater extent than the US constitution put the US people in the driver's seat. It appears that the Aus constitution was designed on the basis that Australians would actively, and aggressively, play the key role in our own self-governance.
Alas, we didn't understand this. We never had that War of Independence, and so, we've never really valued what we had, and the amazing inheritance we received (magna Carta, 1688, Aus constitution). Over the years, we let a cabal of political animals gradually encroach on our liberties, changing laws and overthrowing our constitution to the point where today, Australians do not even recognize our inheritance, and where, for decades, we have been gradually sold out.
But on the back of the Great Awakening, the Australian Freedom movement was born out of the crucible of the ridiculous levels of oppression we endured 2020/2021. The epicenter of this was Victoria, which, curiously enough, is really the birthplace of freedom and liberty in Australia. The Eureka Rebellion took place in Victoria.
Did you know that the first ever 'secret ballot' - where votes are cast in secret, so that no one knew who voted what - took place in Australia, in Victoria, in the mid 1800's? That 'secret ballot' approach has become a key part of liberty and self-governance all around the world. What the??? Right???
We just had a federal election. The cabal of course, was ushered in again. We knew this probably wouldn't change. But what HAS changed is that there is now a grassroots-based freedom movement all across this great land. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, are awake to the reality of the world, our country - from the duopoly of the Unaparty (Left = Right), to the pedophile backbone of corruption.
We have only just begun. Our fight is ahead of us. We have begun now our War of Independence from the Cabal. Perhaps partly thanks to the sacrifices of the people of the United States, our War of independence is the Information War we are now in globally, and not a hot war of independence.
Australia has a virtually unlimited, amazing inheritance and potential. Without a doubt, under the right conditions, we could even give the United States a run for its money. However, I prefer to envision the day when the Older brother, the USA, and the younger brother, Australia, work together for the liberty and freedom of all humanity, by following that true path of true self-governance.
In my usual wordy way, all I really wanted to say was that the Australian Freedom movement is very, very young. We have just been born, so to speak. We don't have that amazing history of fighting for freedom that the USA does. But we are here, and we're not going anywhere. They'll have to drag our bloody beaten bodies off this great continent before we will EVER give in to their tyranny.
Pray for us, Pedes. For surely, where we go one, we go all.
God bless Australia. God Bless America. God bless the Great Awakening.
I appreciate the comment. No doubt there is much in the detail that requires illumination, dare I say it.
However, the fact remains that the states were divided at the time of the Constitution and the Declaration based on the institution of slavery, does it not?
Although there were myriad other factors driving the Nation into civil war, I believe from a spiritual viewpoint, the USA had to pay a heavy, heavy price for the sin of slavery, not just slavery in the US, but slavery throughout the entire Christian world. Why? Because the USA was raised as the champion. It is always God's champions who pay the price, and shed the blood, for others.
The UK abolished slavery earlier than the US, but it was the US abolishing slavery that represented all of the Christian sphere finally paying the price, through blood and suffering and death, to extinguish Satan's accusation against God's people.
Anyway, that's my perspective on that. Sadly, the infiltration of evil and lies (aka Marxism, communism, and materialistic humanism) has worked to make the situation in the US .... "slavery" a point of accusation among the mentally and spiritually enslaved, instead of what it should actually be, the glorious appreciation that the United States is a nation that paid a heavy price on behalf of so many who indulged in slavery, and which opened the way for true freedom and prosperity of ALL people.
I'm not really buying America had to carry the crucifix and be sacrificed for all of Christendom's slavery bit. In comparison to Islam and the rest of the world, Christianity weren't big promoters of slavery. In fact, the Catholic Church condemned slavery in 1435. The Catholic Church unhesitatingly condemned racial slavery as soon as it began. In 1435, six decades before Columbus sailed, Pope Eugene IV condemned the enslavement of the black natives of the Canary Islands, and ordered their European masters to manumit the enslaved within 15 days, under pain of excommunication. In 1537, Pope Paul III condemned the enslavement of West Indian and South American natives, and explicitly attributed that evil, "unheard of before now," to "the enemy of the human race," Satan.
Papal condemnations of slavery were repeated by Popes Gregory XIV (1591), Urban VIII (1639), Innocent XI (1686), Benedict XIV (1741), and Piux VII (1815). In 1839, Pope Gregory XVI wrote,
"We, by apostolic authority, warn and strongly exhort... that no one in the future dare to bother unjustly, despoil of their possessions, or reduce to slavery Indians, Blacks or other such peoples."
Pope Leo XIII (1890), too, condemned slavery, and so did the Second Vatican Council
So, how did slavery continue in Vatican catholic lands? Most Americans don't realize either that the transatlantic slave trade was driven by the sugar trade and rum. By the very nature of this fact, it redirects us to where sugar cane grew. This of course was in the tropical regions of the Caribbean and Central and South America. This is where 97% of the transatlantic slaves went. The 3% came to America later. According to one well-regarded census, 9.6 million Africans arrived alive in the so-called "New World" from the 16th century through the 19th century. Of these, 427,000, were brought to what is now the United States.
On top of all of this, there were White Slaves in America too. Up to one-half of all the arrivals in the American colonies were Whites slaves and they were America's first slaves. These Whites were slaves for life, long before Blacks ever were. This slavery was even hereditary. White children born to White slaves were enslaved too. The Establishment has created the misnomer of "indentured servitude" to explain away and minimize the fact of White slavery. But bound Whites in early America called themselves slaves. Nine-tenths of the White slavery in America was conducted without indentures of any kind but according to the so-called "custom of the country," as it was known, which was lifetime slavery administered by the slave merchants themselves.
In George Sandy’s laws for Virginia, Whites were enslaved "forever." The service of Whites bound to Berkeley's Hundred was deemed "perpetual."
It's true, slavery in the United States wasn’t abolished at the federal level until after the Civil War, but there were many anti-slavery laws already in effect. It's just that each State varied in it's laws and prohibition. The first anti-slavery statute in the U.S. occurred in Rhode Island on May 18, 1652 well before the American Revolutionary war. Other colonial states passed ant-slavery laws too. But, these laws varied and were constantly being undermined and were difficult to enforce. For Rhode Island, it's law was not really enforced and could have been for the very reason they couldn’t afford to enforce a ban on slavery.
Though Congress enacted several restrictions and partial bans to curb its practice, the “peculiar institution” of slavery remained 'legal'. The Act Prohibiting the Importation of Slaves, passed by Congress and signed into law by President Thomas Jefferson, forbade the importation of foreign born slaves "into any port or place within the jurisdiction of the United States.” This law went into effect on January 1, 1808 and forbade Americans from participating in the international slave trade. If they were found guilty of doing so, they faced up to $10,000 in fines and up to 10 years in jail. The country of Liberia was created in the early 19th century as a project of the American Colonization Society (ACS), which believed black people would face better chances for freedom and prosperity in Africa than in the United States. Between 1822 and the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, more than 15,000 freed and free-born black people who faced social and legal oppression in the U.S., along with 3,198 Afro-Caribbeans, relocated to Liberia. President James Monroe was a big supporter of ACS.
I could continue and talk about Islam and Judaism's belief in slavery and its widespread involvement in slave trade. Europe as far away as Iceland have been the recipients of Islamic raids enslaving people living in coastal dwellings. The entire Dark Ages was a result of Islamic slave trade and piracy on the Mediterranean Sea and elsewhere. The estimates of Europeans being kidnapped and enslaved is unknown, but the estimates from that time frame is in the millions. Slavery is actually now bigger and widespread than it ever was.
