Leviathan Rising v. the Reign of
Mary
-------------- Filed by PAULY FONGEMIE, July 4, 2009
Today
is our annual memorial of the Declaration of Independence from two
kings -------------- the King
of England and Christ the King. The national charter contains no
mention of the rights of Almighty God, in the Person of Christ the
King, although it speaks of the rights of the people. Kingship of any
kind was entombed in the mausoleum of history. The Declaration was
composed by the future third president, Thomas Jefferson between
Drafted
by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776. Jefferson was
the Founding Father who went through the New Testament, scratching out
the precious and holy name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Like many of
the Founders he was what is known as a "Deist", or one who subscribes
to an impersonal God Who grants natural rights but is not directly
involved in the affairs of men, His creatures. Jefferson found the name
of Jesus odious apparently. The new republic was established through
violent revolution, much of which was instigated for the very purpose
of stirring up an agrarian, peace-loving [lthough unduly taxed] people
and provoking the British. In fact the populace was not given to the
outbursts of vehemence demonstrated and orchestrated by the so-called
"Sons of Liberty" at all. They had to be induced by drawing upon and
evoking the prejudice against the Catholic Church that was prevalent in
the colonies at the time. What they called "popery", itself a nasty
perjorative. In his seminal work, Patriots,
the Protestant A. J. Langguth, published by Simon and Schuster, 1988,
instructs the student of history about the "Pope's Day" rallies that
were conducted over a period of a few years. The mere sight of an image
of the Vicar of Christ was so incendiary that an event held to burn an
effigy was enough to draw the people from countryside and town. One
such violent day was November 5, 1765, in Boston; the author has
documented the appeal of the Pope's Day demonstrations in conjunction
with violence four times in the period leading up to 1776. The
background of the leading figures is too detailed to quote here. I
suggest that anyone interested might check out the book on
inter-library loan and use the index, under "Pope's Day". The is the
politically incorrect part of the American Revolution those who invoke
the nobility of the revolution want us to not know about. Suffice it to
say that those who wield power now, much of attained through
unscrupulous means, expect us not to revolt against them and their
burdensome programs in the same manner, while invoking the Founders, in
an exercise of rank hypocrisy. I am not advocating violence as we
approach th alast Fourth of July as we have always know it, but then,
neither would have I joined those who schemed so blasphemously against
"Sweet Christ on earth", to quote St. Catherine of Siena.
