True Story of We the People, the Lies that Bind Us.

By Steven D. Brewer Sr.

The pre-Revolutionary War period in the British colonies was a tumultuous time during which the wealthy cand their compromised religions fought against the Revolutionary ideals of the American Enlightenment. The enlightened, Deists wanted life, liberty and freedom for all and were instrumental in making sure individual rights and freedoms were added to the Constitution after it was ratified. The wealthy, the landed gentry, their religions and their politicians and lawyers (the Federalists) wanted the wealthy's status quo of total control over the people to continue into the new nation. This is what the the wealthy and their minions, the Federalists, are trying to drag America back to for the 1%. If you don't learn how the past came to be, how can you expect the future to be what you, not they, want?

Introduction

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, round, and rotates on an axis as it orbits around the sun. Our universe is 14 billion years old, with our solar system just a speck in the estimated 100,000 solar systems that make up our universe. If you believe the Earth and humankind are only six thousand years old due to your religious beliefs or personal opinions, that is ok; that is what you believe, but it is not fact. If you believe the Earth is flat and the universe revolves around it, that is okay; those are your beliefs or personal opinions, but it is not fact. I am pointing these out because this book is fact-based, not opinion-based.

This book lays out the facts of the wealthy's lies, and they have lied about everything they have claimed throughout America's history. I am not putting in their lies, just the facts of those lies. The lies should be evident to everyone due to our political paradigm and the media being full of these lies seemingly 24/7. This book, True Story of We the People: The Lies That Bind Us, starts in the early 17th Century for the Enlightenment and its effect on colonial politics leading up to the American Revolution. The book highlights the differences between the two political parties of the day: the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The lies did not start during this period, but there were many stories about the period. America is in a period of unrest because the lies have been so voluminous and pervasive.

The Federalists of the Revolutionary era denied 99% of American citizens Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and the rights and privileges afforded them in the Bill of Rights during their American Empire 2.0 (1791 to 1932). What the Federalists did in 1791 also allowed them to steal the labor of all American workers and ensure politicians enacted no laws to stop their theft or any labor laws that would help the workers escape from their greed and hubris theft or their unsafe and unsanitary workplaces. The landed gentry displayed their greed and hubris throughout the colonial era in their North American Empires. Still, if anyone tries to articulate the truth, they are ostracized as being woke (must not reveal the atrocities the 1% committed in pursuing more wealth). The wealthy's greed and hubris caused hundreds of millions of deaths throughout the history of humanity; it is now their perceived birthright.

Synopsis of my first book; America, this is Your Woke-up Call

My writings do not condemn any form of economics; all forms are corruptible. I have researched the facts I present and sought double sources to verify them. My first book was about humanity's evolution from hunter-gatherer tribes to early farming that took place out of survival when the hunted herds thinned out or disappeared or the plants of the gatherings did not produce. The norms of the hunter-gatherer tribes remained with the early farmers; their orchards and vineyards were open for all to share but not to take any produce upon leaving.

Circa 5,000 Before Current Era (B.C.E.) when the farmers found they could sell their excess produce in the towns where people had settled or to traders on nearby trade routes. This early trade transformed the farmers when avarice (greed) and hubris (a sense of self-privilege) took hold. They no longer allowed others to enter their lands to eat, setting up their property to what would become known as private property. To keep others away and protect their produce, they engaged local municipalities for protection, thus the formation of city-states. The city-states were mini-empires united to form the early, vast empires. That book follows the start and fall of the Eurasian empires and kingdoms.

About 2334 BCE, the Akkadian Empire in the Sumerian area of Mesopotamia united the city-states. The Akkadian Empire was the first multi-cultural empire in the world. Like the capitals of many early empires, its capital city, Akkad, has not yet been located. For the next 4,400 years, empires would come and go but would take many different forms and names. Kingdoms, dynasties, feudal fiefs, colonies, and states were built for the same reason: protecting the wealthy, ensuring the slaves were kept in line, and building wealth. Religions were merged with the states to have more control and get them to work harder until they died. Their beliefs promised the slaves a better life after death if they worked hard and obeyed.

From about 5,000 BCE to 2023 Current Era (C.E.), the book covers over 7,000 years of the wealthy using and abusing the people.

First American Empire Vis-a-Vis British Empire in the Colonies.

For 169 years (1607 to 1776), the British colonies in North America had a two-tiered government. The primary governing body was the governorship set up for each by the crown or the chartering body. This tier was only answerable to the Crown or Charter-holders and ruled colony-wide. The second-tier governance was the landed gentry as lord to all within their new world fiefs by compromising the governorship government with the fortunes they came to the colonies with as lesser nobles out of the European Feudal systems. The second tier was more potent than the first and used that power to get the governors to look the other way as they stole nearby Indian ancestral lands, slaughtering and enslaving the Indians as they did so. The landed gentry used their royal and monetary clout to get the colonial government to pass slave laws that allowed the landed gentry to enslave both Indians and poor, white immigrants as indentured servants. But if both of these groups escaped their bondage, they could easily blend into any nearby friendly Indian tribes or the never-ending waves of white European immigrants. That is when the American trade in black slaves began because there were no native black populations for escapees to blend into.

The slaves did not come directly from Africa but came out of Caribbean plantations where they had some slave training. What most Americans do not know is that during the American slave trade years, just as many Indian men, women, and children were sold into the international slave trade as were black men, women, and children imported to the states. Were the Indian schools used to groom Indian children to be sold into the international slave trade? There are still Indian women and children being murdered or kidnapped, especially along international trade areas/routes such as coastal seaports and inter-coastal waterways.

The landed gentry came to the
