The Theology of Freedom

Myths of Modern America

I was in Portland Oregon a few weeks ago for a rare books fair. One of the booths was dedicated to banned books. It was about as insipid as the American Library Association's annual Banned Books Week in September that features “daring” titles like Huckleberry Finn. The booth in Portland was devoted exclusively to Marxist, Leftist, abortionist and trans-sexual books.

Most of those currently in the forefront of advocating freedom for texts and their authors don’t believe in conferring that liberty on their ideological enemies.

Holocaust denial and white supremacist volumes are among the most heavily suppressed of all literature in the US, The vast majority of liberals and progressives now howling at the moon over censorship are fully supportive of banning those books.

Our weekend in Portland was also marked by the laughably hypocritical “No Kings” protests that the Democrats cooked up in June and launched nationally. Fresh off four years of Joe Biden’s enshrinement of King Anthony Fauci as the dictator of America’s health system and school lockdowns, we are expected to believe that the Left opposes monarchs and tyrants.

Personally, my view is similar to that of the American patriots of 1776 whose rallying cry was “We Will Have No King but Jesus.”

Some of the signs carried by the “No Kings” protestors in Portland proclaimed, “No one is illegal on stolen land.” This sentiment is often expressed by Mexican-American activists on the supposition that the Southwest was stolen from Mexico to whom it belonged, which is a warmed over bit of historical illiteracy. Mexico stole it from Native tribes who in turn purloined it from other tribes. North of the border an Anglo-Saxon tribe took it from Mexico.

With immigration levels being what they are, and baby-hating among whites proving nearly ineradicable, the descendants of the British, Irish and Europeans who conquered North America will eventually have the territorial rug pulled out from under them by Asians and Latinos who will conquer demographically. King Biden alone facilitated the entry of twelve million of the “undocumented.” In my opinion, black people—some of whom who have been in this nation for 300 years—will also be dispossessed by this demographic wave.

The displacement is not only a matter of population determinism, however.

To blame non-whites for this state of affairs is a bigger hoax than the narrative of stolen land. Britain’s white ruling class has feared and loathed its own working class for centuries. This manifested publicly in 1798 with the publication of the Rev. Thomas Malthus’s book An Essay on the Principle of Population, which warns of a surfeit of poor white people in the British isles who will prove a curse on the privileged classes.

I didn’t need Rev. Tom to tell us this. I know that proletarian youth had been kidnapped off the streets of the port cities of Britain since the seventeenth century and sold—without “indentures”—in the West Indies and British America.

On the high seas “custom” dictated that the floating jails known as British war ships had to be staffed by armies of white slaves. The euphemism for their kidnapping in this regard was “pressed.” Platoons of press gangs seized British men and forced them onto His Majesty’s ships for four, five or seven years of perilous confinement. If they survived to see the shore of their homeland years later, press gangs in boats were known to board a Royal Navy ship approaching home port and abduct sailors from that ship onto another heading out to sea. Under this arrangement a press-ganged Englishman, Irishman or Scotsman might be forced to “serve” ten or fifteen years on maritime combat vessels. Wives and children of these men often suffered extreme penury, including starvation.

Britain’s immigrant Pakistani and South Asian males groomed, raped and trafficked English girls as young as eleven, in towns like Rotherham, Telford, Rochdale, Oxford, and Newcastle, from the late 1990s through the 2010s. They preyed on hundreds of adolescent English girls and did so with the connivance of the British police and the media which in many cases remain under the ultimate direction of the aristocratic ruling class. Why would they care about the fate of white proletarians? The British empire has historically exhibited a preference for the royalty of foreign nations oover their own poor and working class.

American revolutionaries were cognizant of the perfidious betrayals by the British Crown, which is one reason why Oliver Cromwell’s revolution, which resulted in the overthrow and execution of the first King Charles, was popular among them. One is reminded of the words of Patrick Henry in 1765, in the Virginia House of Burgesses, concerning tyrants like the emperor of Rome and the kings of England:

“Caesar had his Brutus, and Charles I his Cromwell, and George III may profit by their example. If this be treason, then make the most of it.”

Indeed they did, and for that their revolution is disparaged as “masonic.” It was masonic on the same grounds that the revolt against the Vietnam War quagmire was “hippie.”

Both terms are simplistic distortions of the motivations and end result of the respective movements.

The hippie phenomenon arose in part out of revulsion over the go-to-Church-on-Sunday-and-watch-your-Dad-rob-his-customers-on-Monday, hypocrisy, which was exhibited by a self-righteously corrupt element was rotting the heart out of our nation, while teaching the youth “better living through chemistry,” i.e. physician-prescribed uppers, downers and everything in between. President Nixon conferred upon the prescription drug-addled entertainer Elvis Presley membership in the federal Drug Enforcement Agency because after all, he wasn’t ingesting illegal substances.

In the case of our Founding Fathers one of their lingering fears was the specter of the Old World’s wars of religion arising in the New World. They had a praiseworthy horror of the fratricide in the name of Jesus which had taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of Christian civilians in Europe.

Enter the the pied pipers of a new “freedom-seeking” fraternity—Freemasonry—which had arisen formally only a few decades earlier, preaching to Ben Franklin and Sam Adams the appealing, Golden Age virtues of “the brotherhood of man” and “religious liberty.”
