Preface
In 1776, Thomas Paine began writing a series of 13 articles, each of which he entitled The Crisis, spurring on the American colonists in their bid to overthrow the British tyrants who had severely and unjustly oppressed them. In The Crisis #13, dated April 19, 1783, Paine wished the country well, and congratulated Americans on their valiant battle for independence that had secured their freedom.
But, world events being what they are, and vanquished foes being unable to rest, corruption of that hardfought liberty set in, in increments or in big chunks, sometimes through intrigues, and other times through bloody confrontations. America lost its innocence, and its purpose – to be the hallmark of liberty for all the world to see – and has fallen on very difficult times, emotionally, financially, militarily, politically, socially, spiritually and in all other senses.
This book is entitled Crisis #14, because if Thomas Paine were alive today, he would not only
lament for the United States, but, would also use his pen to do all that he could to right the course from which America has strayed – the course of liberty! That is, what if the treaty signed with the British in 1783 was not an acknowledgement of defeat by George III at all, but only a temporary truce, and the battle for American independence from Great Britain continues today, in the 21st century! If Paine were alive today, he would be incensed that America has fallen for and succumbed to British coercion, deception, abuse and manipulation to enter into alliances with them. Paine has warned again and again that the British are as vile an enemy as ever recorded in history. He would scream, “Come out of her!”
Throughout Crisis #14, Paine’s words will be extensively quoted in italics to emphasize how
strongly he felt about freedom. When the reader encounters quotations in italics that are not cited, they will be the words of Thomas Paine.
It should further be noted that the ongoing war for independence from Britain is not against the British people, but, instead, with certain parties that have links to Britain, which is where their headquarters are currently based. These parties have no national boundaries, and can be operating in parliaments, royal families, governments, military institutions, spy networks, domestic and foreign corporations, banks, churches, entertainment industries, the media – just about anywhere.
They need not be under British charters, nor be British citizens or subjects. These persons certainly do not represent the best interests of Britain or the British people – they represent their own interests and their own agenda. For purposes of this hypothesis, they will be referred to as the Qualas. It is the acts of the Qualas that are stealing American liberty, unless Americans are voluntarily relinquishing their liberty to any who will take it. That is, either there is a conspiracy of the Qualas to rip freedom from Americans, or Americans are foolishly stripping themselves of their liberty.
One would ask, what could be the purpose of robbing liberty from America? It is because America stands in the way of what President George Bush Sr. called the “New World Order,” which is really a euphemism for world conquest. Although America has been corrupted over the centuries, and has been dragged through the slime of the world, it still retains a spark of fight in it, a spark that cries out against oppression and subjugation. It is this spark that the Qualas hope to extinguish forever, and, then, the world will be theirs for the taking. Were they to succeed in America, the rest of the world would soon be forced to kowtow to the Qualas.
This theory will be supported by a wealth of evidence that indicts British monarchs, especially
George III and his ministers. But, as shall be seen, the web of deceit that has been entwined within and around the effort to adulterate and retake America sometimes appears to stem from Britain or other nations, and other times from within America. It is a diabolical plot to overthrow liberty that has been played out over the centuries.
Introduction
Liberty is an endangered species. Freedom hath been hunted round the globe. Asia, and Africa, have long expelled her – Europe regards her as a stranger, and England hath given her warning to depart.1 It makes one wonder why freedom is so despised by leaders and rulers.
In the 21st century, liberty is losing its battle against its oppressors. America, too, is losing her freedom. She must fight for her liberty now. America is the world’s last chance. She is the last hope for the rest of the world. The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.2
If we take a good look at the world around us now, we can see how things have changed ever so subtly, or ever so obviously, in various parts of the world over the centuries, and particularly in recent years. If the present trend is unchecked, it will develop into a massive net that will snare and engulf all the citizens of the world. They will be caught and lose their individual identities along with their liberty after conquest of the world.
Each of us should take our liberty very seriously. Americans are in a unique position – they can take back their eroded liberty for themselves and their country. They can show the rest of the world that it can be done. It will be done. Liberty is at hand for those who dare claim it.
In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin laid foundations for people to claim liberty in both America and France. He was followed by Thomas Paine who breathed life into the abstract call for freedom and instilled the love of liberty into the hearts and minds of people, and ignited their fighting spirit in America, then later in France. Thomas Jefferson offered his legal and political expertise to help free people from tyranny in both the American and the French Revolutions. Military prowess and political influence were provided by the Marquis de Lafayette in both revolutions. And, liberty nearly prevailed, but the world’s weight was on the side of the slave masters and tyrants. A glimmer of hope survives, and the possibility of liberty remains, but only barely.
Crisis #14 will trace some of the events in the world that have led to the present predicament. It will be shown how the world has gradually been led to this critical stage in the history of humankind. Liberty is in crisis! This is not to say that President Obama is a threat to American liberty, or that John McCain or the Congress is either. They are just participants in an experiment in self government that commenced in the 18th century and continues today. Just as there were many powerful people who sought to crush American liberties in 1776, so are there many today.
This is not about conspiracy theory. Surely President Obama and Senator McCain are not actively conspiring against American liberties. Unfortunately, however, in ignorance or naiveté, like many of their predecessors, they are guilty of neglecting and even abusing liberty.
