What Can You Be Made to Believe?

I looked at the date today on the calendar and remembered that the present administration declared this day a “holiday” and the lamestream media will be featuring things about it all day long. When they stop talking about the parades and cookouts and other such preplanned celebrations and interview, we should remember and consider what is being remembered.

The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in January of 1863 – after 2 brutal years of war between the North and the South. Until this time, the people of the South claimed that their reason for succession was for States Rights and against a Federal Government exerting its authority over the states. This was a veiled excuse to justify legalized slavery of other human beings, specifically Black Africans.

After skirting the issue through 2 years of War, President Lincoln did something Presidential. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves in the seceded Confederate States.

Juneteenth was created to honor the when the “last” black Americans found out about this proclamation and that they were essentially “freed.” They were somewhere in Texas, and the mail was awfully slow during wartime. They found out a couple years after the fact and about 3 months after the Civil War officially ended. And the date was sometime toward the middle or end of June, thus the ebonically created term Juneteenth.

But on this day, the Holiday created by this present administration, using this weird name, as an apology to all the people who martyred a heroine addict who tried to pass a counterfeit $20 and was roughed up and killed by the police, is now official. All government offices are closed.

I am including the full Proclamation as published. Note: It is a boring government statement that was written specifically for one purpose: to piss off the South. It was created for military purposes – to legitimate the war effort.

On this auspicious day, I think it is important that we read it. And remember what happened during the Civil War. It was more than fighting. There was definitely a war of words and of values being fought. It was for the heart of our Nation. 719 Words.

By the President of the United States of America:
A Proclamation.
Whereas, on the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing, among other things, the following, to wit:
“That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.
“That the Executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people thereof, respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the fact that any State, or the people thereof, shall on that day be, in good faith, represented in the Congress of the United States by members chosen thereto at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such State shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State, and the people thereof, are not then in rebellion against the United States.”
Now, therefore I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander-in-Chief, of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, on this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and in accordance with my purpose so to do publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days, from the day first above mentioned, order and designate as the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof respectively, are this day in rebellion against the United States, the following, to wit:
Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, (except the Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the City of New Orleans) Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, (except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkley, Accomac, Northampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth[)], and which excepted parts, are for the present, left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued.
And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free; and that the Executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.
And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defence; and I recommend to them that, in all cases when allowed, they labor faithfully for reasonable wages.
And I further declare and make known, that such persons of suitable condition, will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service.
And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution, upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the eighty-seventh.
By the President: ABRAHAM LINCOLN
WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State.

Now, if you are still awake, I have another much more interesting and fulfilling statement. It was the Gettysburg Address. It was also penned by Abraham Lincoln. It was his speech given after the battle of Gettysburg about 11 months after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. 272 of the most profound words said in the History of our nation.

The Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863

December 20th of 1963, Lincoln reiterated his opinion stated in the Emancipation Proclamation. He was under pressure from others who were feeling the burden of was. I think if you read it, you will agree that is might fall in this generation’s category of a Mean Tweet. Right on Lincoln!

And if you want to see everything the government wants you to know about Juneteenth, check out the Wikipedia page for it. If you do, I would also like you to look at another Wikipedia page – Juneteenth from 2005.

I have often made the point that this was never a big deal in the way that the apologists have tried to make it. In as much as possible, this shows the history of the story of this movement. It is kinda like you are a fly on the wall in the book 1984 watching The Ministry of Truth rewrite History.
