Yesterday afternoon, a contact shared an extremely provocative posting on Twitter by E.M. Burlingame which, I was told, would help me understand why Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln- men whom I hold in high regard- were not the heroes which I had supposed, but were in fact the villains of history.

While I have certainly heard such narratives before, I was curious if there were any novel new details provided by the author of the post in question, which can be read here.

E.M. Burlingame’s line of syllogistic reasoning goes something like this:

1. Empirical Fact: The modern U.S. empire which has done so much damage to our freedoms uses central government, bureaucracy and a central banking system to do things- including imposing a new techno-feudalism onto humanity.
2. Pattern Recognition: This bureaucratic structure was put into motion by Hamilton and Lincoln who used central government, bureaucracy and central banking to do things.
3. Conclusion: Thus a mathematical equivalency is assumed and no further thinking required which might force the mind to think about what causes power to be used wisely or for evil.

A Central Bank under Hamilton’s American System is equivalent to a central bank in 1913 under the JP Morgan-London cartels. No difference to explore here at all since minds shouldn’t need to do tiring work like think about paradoxes or nuances of history. Why should readers be expected to think too much.

As long as we use pattern recognition analysis, life is easier.

There is no obligation to think about what caused the corruption of cultural standards, epistemic warfare, or the battle of ideas of Natural Law.

We need not think about how arsonists took over our village and we can now simply use clean syllogistic thinking to blame fire itself for the increased cases of arson.

I suppose this type of reasoning assumes that not having those tools of power which Hamilton and Lincoln used and which is enshrined within the U.S. Constitution, would have resulted in a non-corrupt world devoid of feudalism and City of London dominance?

This of course, is a questionable conclusion to draw from history.

Before the days of the nation state (which emerged during the Italian Golden Renaissance), the advent of industrial civilization, and the creation of the U.S. Republican form of government, bureaucracy was admittedly slimmer… but feudalism and an immutable hierarchy of hereditary overlords was the only game in town. I suppose Burlingame’s openly professed support for feudalism should be no surprise.

Was the world truly less corrupt, more peaceful and more freedom-oriented during these medieval feudal centuries?

I suppose aspiring knights devoted to a hereditary gentry class might think so, and perhaps Burlingame is one of those who sincerely believes this to be true.

He has been on record advising pro-Apartheid podcasters how to best recruit young enthusiastic men to become killers in private mercenary armies of billionaire lords.

Considering the centuries of ritual bloodbath that defined the Crusades which resulted in countless millions of deaths, inter-religious wars that saw high noble houses and occult secret societies enrich themselves with plunder, and which included many wasting wars between Christians as well (see: The Hundred Years War, Wars of the Roses, Northern Crusades against Russia, Venetian-Genoese Wars, German Peasants Wars, Rosicrucian-organized Thirty Years War etc etc etc), I wouldn’t say the world was less fearful, or more peaceful or less corrupt.

Considering the abysmally low standards of living (35 year average life expectancy pre-nation state), high infant mortality and extreme enforced illiteracy by the noble houses, I also wouldn’t say life was better in our “pure” state pre-industrial revolution.

But let’s continue on with Burlingame’s train-wreck analysis.

In the comment section under his post, Burlingame responded to a fan who wondered why the Civil War failed to break up the USA as was planned by the City of London (CoL)… fair question, but his answer may surprise you.

Burlingame answered this question by explaining that the dissolution of the union was never a goal of the British Empire in orchestrating the Civil War, but rather “breaking the gentry and forcing us to industrialization”…

I’m sure three time English Prime Minister Robert Cecil would disagree with Burlingame when he said the following in 1863:

“The Northern States of America never can be our sure friends because we are rivals, rivals politically, rivals commercially…With the Southern States, the case is entirely reversed. The population are an agricultural people. They furnish the raw material of our industry, and they consume the products which we manufacture from it. With them, every interest must lead us to cultivate friendly relations, and when the war began they at once recurred to England as their natural ally.” [emphasis added]

The Russian Foreign Minister during the Civil War would probably also disagree with Burlingame’s assessment when he said to Lincoln:

“You know that the government of United States has few friends among the Powers. England rejoices over what is happening to you; she longs and prays for your overthrow. France is less actively hostile; her interests would be less affected by the result; but she is not unwilling to see it. She is not your friend. Your situation is getting worse and worse. The chances of preserving the Union are growing more desperate. Can nothing be done to stop this dreadful war? The hope of reunion is growing less and less, and I wish to impress upon your government that the separation, which I fear must come, will be considered by Russia as one of the greatest misfortunes. Russia alone, has stood by you from the first, and will continue to stand by you. We are very, very anxious that some means should be adopted–that any course should be pursued–which will prevent the division which now seems inevitable. One separation will be followed by another; you will break into fragments.”

The long demonstration of Confederate Intelligence Operations in British Canada that oversaw Lincoln’s assassination and broader financial warfare against the Union amidst the Civil War which I documented here and the Alabama Claims that found England guilty for militarily backing the Confederacy during the war despite maintaining neutrality are probably also things which Burlingame would prefer never happened.

Yet never to let evidence get in the way of an attractive logical fallacy, Burlingame responded to another fan who encouraged him to review an article that I had written some time ago outlining conclusive evidence that Aaron Burr (Hamilton’s assassin) to have been both an actual traitor who was caught with his hands in the cookie jar trying to break up the union not once but three times and whose loyalties were devoted in fact to the City of London…

Burlingame’s response can be seen below:

You read it correctly, Burlingame said:

“I have long suspected Burr was a true American patriot and that he killed Hamilton because he knew Hamilton was a traitor to the Republic.”

So the guy who was caught trying to actually break up the union three times prior to his five year exile to England from 1807-1812 was the actual hero of history.

And Alexander Hamilton- who died keeping the U.S. from being broken up financially as hyperinflation skyrocketed with unpayable debts in the wake of the War of Independence, is firmly imprinted on the minds of his readers as a villain whose death we should be celebrating as much as Lincoln’s.

I suppose this means that the JP Morgan Chase executives are as patriotic as Burlingame since the pistols used to kill Hamilton in 1804 and which had been used in 1802 to kill Hamilton’s son by an agent of Aaron Burr… are still on display on the executive conference floor of the JP Morgan Chase building at 277 Park Avenue in New York City…

Unfortunately, if anyone is to believe the story that Burr was a hero, they must ignore the direct quotes I cited in my essay from the British Ambassador to Washington in 1804 who wrote giddily to the British Foreign Office explaining his having recruited Burr to the Empire’s cause of breaking up the Union. Ambassador Merry wrote:

“I have just received an offer from Mr. Burr, the actual vice president of the United States (which situation he is about to resign) to lend his assistance to His Majesty’s Government in any manner in which they may think fit to employ him, particularly in endeavouring to effect a separation of the western part of the United States from that which lies between the Atlantic and the mountains, in its whole extant. – His propositions on this and other subjects will be fully detailed to your Lordship by Col. Williamson who has been the bearer of them to me, and who will embark for England in a few days. – It is therefore only necessary for me to add that if, after what is generally known of the profligacy of Mr. Burr’s character, His Majesty’s Ministers should think proper to listen to his offer, his present situation in this country where he is now cast off as much by the democratic as by the federal party, and where he still preserves connections with some people of influence, added to his great ambition and spirit of revenge against the present administration, may possibly induce him to exert the talents and activity which he possesses with fidelity to his employers.”

Does Burlingame believe that Lincoln’s assassin John Wilkes Booth was also a great patriot for killing the “City of London agent” Abraham Lincoln?

On this point, he has not come out explicitly stating this opinion, but he did write that both London’s true agenda was never to break up the union but was only to “break up the gentry in the USA and force Industrialization”.

In case you missed it, “the gentry” being referenced is the Confederate Slave Power that rooted their entire feudal economic order on the four million human slaves who they bred like horses and who were run by an occult secret society named the Order of the Golden Circle which John Wilkes Booth served as a loyal member (long after he wasn’t killed in 1865).

So the same British Empire that obsessively sabotaged industrial development in all parts of the empire for centuries under the rubric of Free Trade, is the same Empire that wanted the slave states to industrialize so badly that they launched a civil war to empower the USA under Lincoln, destroy the southern gentry (which never actually disappeared after Lincoln’s death) and “forced” the poor southerners to industrialize…

I’ll end this little article with a word of encouragement for all who have not seriously researched the American System of Political Economy. Empower yourself now with real knowledge because the sorts of pathetic sophistry you have encountered from the keyboard of E.M Burlingame is only a fraction of the sort of loud misinformation which will be exploding into the zeitgeist by minions of the old feudal nobility as we enter into a new phase of collapse.
