A Dynamic and Unique American Citizenry #edchat

Love does not destroy, but builds up, sustains, is patient, fierce, gentle, seeks to understand, and is of God.

Taking a stand to protect freedom and liberty, and receiving an education that is effective enough to render one a free, open-minded, critically thinking person is essential to strengthening America. A new era for the United States of America is one wherein educational standards empower individuals to be creative, dynamic, critical thinking citizens.

In the modern-day era of 2019, a time of great technological advances, the freedoms and liberties of American citizens has again been brought far below what it should be. We have been sold down the river again and told to love it. Our educational system is far-behind in the understanding of what style of American citizenry it should develop. The state of the union clearly shows the effect of our educational construct. We don’t create independent thinkers who ‘go forth, but followers who are told what to think. A great portion of our music and entertainment is shaped to maintain this status quo.
Liberty, Republican statesman Frederick Douglass realized, had to be strengthened and developed with the best education a person can get, that therein, a people be best served and protected through the pursuit of its continual clarifying, the process of understanding its value, and how such an ideal shapes and directs everyday life. It is so important that God called the Judeo-Christian scripture, the perfect law of liberty.

The original ideas that formed our U.S. Constitution, are housed in two distinct founding documents, our Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, with an array of other written works, such as those from the ‘Founding Fathers’ including the writings of John Adams, Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson. These are the true works of ‘settled laws’ that have formed the bones of the United States of America.

At the time of their writing, the country was geographically uninhabited outside of the 13 colonies.

Did writers like Thomas Jefferson anticipate 320 million residents and a developed, globally connected, industrial society on the edge of a new age in technology 244 years later in the year 2019?

 The U.S. Constitution has to be defended and the God of Judeo-Christian scripture must reign supreme. American education has become one that aims to be politically-correct with a white-washed focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. There is no established pathway for crafting enterprising critical thinkers with a patriotic duty to seek out wherein our liberties are being subjected. We have become a people who go with the flow, a nation of appeasement urged to pursue our own happiness rather than the health of our community. We have been co-opted at every step of the way and don’t even know how to discern that we are being co-opted.

Are the views expressed in the U.S. Constitution, along with the initial supporting documents archaic? Sixty five years later, about the year 1838, a former American human slave, African-American Frederick Douglass, wrote a compelling account of his life as a slave and his  incredible focus on educating himself; that he be free of chains, both, the very real chains of human slavery in his time, and the oppression to keep the African-American slaves devoid of education in order to control them.

How do his written works relate to the ‘founding documents?’ Did Douglass find fault in the U.S. Constitution or narrow and obtuse interpretations of it?  What power, if any, did the life and writings of Frederick Douglass have in bringing new perspective to the U.S. Constitution? The simplicity of his two main arguments: that all men are created equal, and that the quality and practice of the Christianity in the time of slavery was not according to God’s perfect law of liberty, but a devolved appeasement of one’s values to the subduing of fellow humans unto slavery and educational oppression, was like a sledgehammer to the political and spiritual life of the United States scarcely fifty years after its founding.

Between 1850 and 1920, the Woman Suffragist movement in the United States, campaigned for access to education, to vote, to own land, and to generally be equal power members of our society. The women leaders of the Women Suffragist movement also intellectually challenged for the clarification of the same constitutional idea, that we are all created equal. Seventy years later, in 1920, white women received all the equal human rights as all white American men did, including the right to vote, to be educated, to own land, and to be regarded in word and deed as equal citizens. A nation-wide victory that gave freedom and liberty to women to be empowered equal citizens, created its own seismic wave of economic, educational, and political change across the country, directly changing the direction of the country again. The Bill of Rights also received an amendment that was set as a Constitutional law. Even so their movement was a political, and not a spiritually-based endeavor. No American spiritual revival happened because of the women’s movement, it was singularly a political and human rights achievement.

In contrast, Frederick Douglass brought new perspective on the constitutional idea that we are all created equal, regardless of the color of our skin, gender, religion, or creed. He was an American champion before he was understood to be one, and was so for decades. In his determination to be free and practice brotherly liberty, he had become America itself in one sense before the people knew what that meant. Gripping the direction of the countries heart and mind long past the reach of his writings, like a wave of continual energy that changes the color and hue of everything, Frederick Douglass’s triumph was based on his accurate charge against the form of the Christianity being practiced in the slave-holding states and his very clear understanding of God-given liberty, and political liberty.

What is more, he was the manifestation of the writings of the protestant reformist Martin Luther, in that Frederick Douglass’s practice of Christianity was shaped from the perspective of a persecuted son of God leveling a stumbling block upon an entire nation’s approach and relationship to Almighty God. In his writings, as if from the book of James, he questioned and challenged the Christianity of slave holders, and therein set a impasse for the entire country to have to approach. His acquisition of a printing press through the help of monies raised during a tenure in England, allowed him to amplify a powerful intellectual force at a time when having a printing press was the nominal and nascent platform for the distribution of information. Using the book known as the perfect law of liberty, the Holy Bible, and another singular literary manuscript, The Colombian Orator, Frederick Douglass taught himself to read, orate, and write, that he may use his intellect towards  patriotic protection of freedom and liberty.  Lastly, his closeness to God’s Word, Judeo-Christian holy scripture, aligned him with continual victory allowing him to be America’s peculiar Champion.

His two ‘powers:’ One political, and one spiritual.

Using his life as living testimony, Frederick Douglass, like General and President George Washington, Continental Congress & 2nd President John Adams, was able to maintain his power to hold the change in direction of the the political, intellectual and spiritual direction of the country. His alignment to this energy made his political and Christian-reformist positions along with the exemplification of them in his life, deliver a monumental change in America’s constitutional ideas of freedom and liberty, as well as a decisive reformation leveled at the practice of Christianity.
Which of these two seismic energies was greater in reforming the face of the United States of America may never be adequately perceived, appreciated or fathomed. The combination of both had such a magnanimous effect across the nation that President Abraham Lincoln was subtly made to befriend and align himself with the African-American statesman, known as the Lion of Acostia.
It was not until World Wars 1 & 2 that Americans had an inverted spiritual revival, wherein the nation faced an existential threat to its society, and banded together through to protect its life and also to bear with the loss of American lives lost in battle. In such a diaspora, the nation became more patriotic, but Christianity was not directly threaded in with a reformation challenge. In fact, no stumbling block has been cast upon the intellectual and spiritual flow of our nation regarding the constitutional ideas of freedom and liberty since the era wherein slavery ended. Decades later, African-Americans were mobilized to affirm their basic rights to vote, own land, and be educated with many of the civil right exclamations and calls to action initially being done in churches, yet such a wave of civil rights action was political. The religious tones found in the early civil rights movement merely gave spiritual support to the political demands of the African-Americans.  Their were victories from the 1950s, 60s, and into the 70s. These included clarified equal citizen constitutional protection unto African Americans.

As it is, the combining of the spiritual and political energy challenges to a society happened mainly in the time of the founding of the United States, and in the time of Frederick Douglass, a modern-day picture representing a true son of God and iconic political lion.

The aggregation of vast monetary affluence does not make new ideas, but it can be a formidable juggernaut completely affecting the organic rise of new, better, and different ideas. It can purchase ‘advantageous position,’ through which one can exact terms preferable to self, and override the fair and balanced natural course of events. The application of money is powerful then. It can give force to ideas, and it can squash ideas through the employ of organized strategy and tactical ploy. Sources with great sums of it can direct its usage to amplify, drown out, frame, clarify, and obscure the ideas of other sources.

The Rockefeller family gave wings to ideas directly opposed by the original women suffragist.  Using their money as a means through which to establish their perspective , they began to bankroll a new concept of eugenics (the management of human populations) at a time of great immigration into the United States of America, and continued officially do so from the 1920s until the 1980s. Eugenics puts forth that human populations have to be controlled and managed in order to achieve an utopian ideal that is particular to the thoughts of the managers of the initiative. The conclusion of their work supported the rise of human abortion facilities leading to over 60 million kills in the U.S. alone between 1974 through the Spring of 2019. Additionally, an untold number of humans in-formation have been killed through what is known as the abortion pill, and the dismemberment of humans aborted has become a harvested business.
What legacy of freedom and liberty associated with the U.S. Constitution is that? What quarter does abortion have with God?

Ezekiel 37:11-14 King James Version (KJV)

11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.

These all occurred at federally-funded human killing facilities, with African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans having been traditionally targeted with having most of the facilities being placed in low-income neighborhoods where they reside in great numbers. My own first child was killed against my will in one of these. I raced to stop the killing and arrived 90 minutes too late. What is more, we have been conditioned by the supporting-media to act as if it is an exercise in some freedom, and that we are not to grieve.

‘Rockefeller’s money supported the rise of professionals in line with their thinking, in addition to cultivating the eventual establishment of a United States of America that supported the tacit approval of operating these human slaughter facilities. Even attempting to introduce a new societal principle claiming that the human abortion procedure is an exercise in an additional freedom and liberty of women; that of taking constitutional proprietary ownership over the human life that takes form within the womb.

Such a marketed superlative mindset ‘sell’ claims that somehow the people of the nation be required to pay towards the upholding of a  corporatized human slaughter business ‘superstructure;’ a human extermination business system;’ operating at the tune 1,000,000 human kills each year as an national human management industry.

The spokeswoman for the early Eugenics program, Margaret Sanger.

In the year 2019, what is known as the ‘pro-life’ movement seeks a resolute political victory in ending abortion and removing it as an extra right women have over the human life in their wombs. As it is now, men do not have equal constitutional right to protect their right to defend life co-created with them. Their is no equal protection for a father to have a say in allowing or blocking an abortion from happening. The United States of America finds itself at a crossroads wherein the energies inherent in the hearts and minds of its citizenry are again and again being asked to protect the sanctity of life in the womb and end Federal involvement with such an industry. The crossroads is being made real though the continual calling of a growing segment of Americans, and the political movement is flanked by a spiritual charge also, yet the pro-life movement is itself an organic movement that is receiving wide-spread support from people of different creeds, and so opposing media-attention has cleverly seemed to take steps to shape its face as more political and less as one that is also a leveled stumbling block on the practice of Christianity. The movement is a human rights call first, in that it seeks the widest base of support. It has modern-day underpinnings of what can be described as an intellectual ‘guerilla-like’ occupation of the American conversation with defenses and tactical action being taken in a number of ways from citizens: there is social-media platform presence, on-the-street demonstrations, key public figures giving political support, congressional and legislative action happening on the state and federal level, and decisive steps being made by U.S. President Donald Trump , Vice-President Mike Pence and the administration on a domestic and foreign-level to curtail the abortion industry, introducing a new vision of daily life, one where we deeply care about each other.

Caring for the communities of the United States of America must be a supported enterprising educational priority across the nation’s school. As empowered, American citizens, we must be about improving community health and the raising of intellectual powerhouses who can think listen, observe, analyze, act creatively and sustain initiatives the are worthwhile and aligned towards the care taking of the ideals written in the book of the perfect law of liberty and our U.S. Constitution. Frederick Douglass placed God and country first. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, the patriotic cabal of the Continental Congress and scores of other fellow Americans, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., all these took a stand to protect and establish freedom and liberty, placing God and country (community) first.
