Hillary did not lose because Trump out-thought her, out-spent
her, or held more power. She did not
lose because she is a woman.
Hillary Rodham Clinton had all the cards normally available in
the game of politics; more money, more experience, and a far larger and
experienced campaign team. But she was
playing against a tide which has been building far longer than anyone
realizes.
Donald Trump’s victory was a rejection of the corporate elite
which has controlled America since the Revolution. Control by an elite, instead of governance by
the people, has always been the issue.
You do not know about the first attempt by ordinary Americans
to affirm the intent of the Declaration of Independence, including their
natural rights, so eloquently enumerated by Thomas Jefferson. The truth on this was buried by men, many of
whom we have revered as Founders. Probably
none of us can view these facts without an emotional reaction. I could not.
I read Dr. Richards’ book once. Then again and a third time. Richards lives in the area where the Rebellion
took place. He was uninterested in a subject he believed had been worked to
death. As a professor of history at the
University of Massachusetts, he was in a position to know. Now, he admits he was wrong. Running across 4,000 names of Shaysites in a
footnote he changed his mind. With the help of town archivists and historians
the real story emerged.
A dispassionate examination of their actions provides insights
which should not be overlooked and remain relevant today.
The event of 1786 took place before a U. S. Constitution was
considered and was a direct response by the elite to the protest by the people
against the issues which were shredding their finances through unjust laws and
a consistent refusal to address the grievances of soldiers who had honorably
served in the Revolution. The U. S.
Constitution was reaction to an uprising of ordinary people which then established
our present Federal government.
Not surprisingly, the successful establishment of federalized
governance established a far more entrenched and powerful hierarchy, though it
would be many years before this was obvious to most Americans. The establishment of hierarchy into the
system of government was an originating purpose of bicameral legislatures, which
perpetuate hierarchy, and today’s Constitution.
It started in Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Constitution of 1780 installed a bicameral
legislature over objections from towns in the West, who were excluded from
voting because travel from the West was impossible. No member from the West had been included in
the committee which wrote the draft for the Commonwealth’s constitution. The vote was held during a winter so severe
Boston Harbor had frozen over. No travel
was possible.
This Constitution created the conditions which resulted in the
Shays Rebellion six years later.
The events of 1786 remain shrouded in disinformation, exactly as
we still experience today from the same elite as well as the Main Stream
Media.
In 1786 thousands of former Revolutionary soldiers, many decorated
for their service, took up arms in response to the confiscatory actions of the
government most of them had risked their lives to create.
Beginning in Massachusetts, former soldiers and citizens began
closing the courts because of the injustices being visited on them and their
fellow citizens by the established elite who ignored the right of ordinary
citizens to participate in the governing of Massachusetts.
The belief all people would have equal voices was the pivotal
reason participation in the Revolution had been nearly universal. Elite families participated in the Revolution
but were far fewer in numbers. The war
could not have been won without the people.
The elite was made up of wealthy individuals and speculators
who profited by a practice, which by design, impacted only those with more
limited financial means.
Notes for Consolidating State Debt were issued to former soldiers
to be honored in the future during the war. These were accepted in good faith by these
same men.
After the close of the war
soldiers who received Notes could not even use them to pay their taxes
to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which had issued them.
The bicameral General Court for Massachusetts was then writing
laws which made it impossible for some of these men, now farming and struggling
to feed their families, to keep their property. Bicameral legislatures weighed to
the benefit of the elite, in this case, speculators.
Facing the loss of property and bankruptcy, veterans were
forced to sell these notes at a tenth their face value. Those purchasing them
were friends and relations of the elite ensuring these notes could not be
otherwise used.
It was wrong – and the ordinary people of Massachusetts
objected, asking these wrongs be amended in many pleas over a period of years. But these civil attempts to obtain justice
were ignored. The needed changes to the Massachusetts
Constitution, voted into law in 1780, were not made.
The assembly for the vote was held in Boston, far from the
homes of most ordinary citizens. The
Assembly was scheduled for winter. That
winter had been so severe few towns in the West could make their way through
the snow to vote.
The word, “Regulator,” then referred to an ordinary citizen
who joined with others to correct the wrongful actions of their
government. Action by Regulators had
taken place before the Revolution. Now,
they had the authorization of America’s founding mission statement to support
them.
Quoting the Declaration of Independence, men took up arms and
closed the courts, which they had done prior to the Revolution for the same reasons.
A minority of these men were struggling farmers, most of were veterans and
respected members of their communities. Many
were more well-to-do.
Calling themselves Regulators, meaning they, the people were
empowered and required to regulate their government, were numbered in the
thousands. They were opposed by the
elite who were profiting from the sale of the notes owed to ordinary people by
this same government who had intentionally made it impossible for their voices
to be heard and their votes counted.
The elite asserted the need of government to remain in their
hands, acting to make this fact.
The ideas of freedom which took us to war in 1775 at Lexington
Concord remain with us. For the last 242
years we have been controlled and manipulated by new generations of the same
corporate elite who controlled us then.
The individuals have changed, but not their business plan.
Hillary was their
choice. The elite believed we would vote
for a woman as a symbol as we had for Obama as a black American. Both Hillary and Obama were corporate
placements.
Voting for Trump the people were delivering a message - NO to the continuing control of a corporate
elite. This is not to say Trump or his
supporters understood this, but it is true.
The surges in popular support for Ross Perot in 1992, Ron Paul in 2008, and
Bernie Sanders during this election cycle confirm the steadily increasing anger
of ordinary people to government by a self-serving elite.
Americans are hungry to fulfill their intended role for
self-governance denied to them for so long.
America was intended to be an exemplar to the world for equality. It still can be.
Will Trump now listen and let the people assume governance of
their lives and communities? If he fails
to do so the people will soon have recourse to the tools for dialog and
consensus technology has made possible.
Despite the efforts of both the Republican and Democratic
Parties, these exist.
Violence did not work. Politics does not work. But together
Americans can build a path to a future where all of us are free.
The elite believed they were uniquely qualified to decide the
destiny of others. They were wrong. Each of us must be able to do this for ourselves.
And we can.
Contrary to the elites the ability to find solutions is
wide-spread in human-kind. In California a teacher for Linked Learning found
that no matter where he taught, the ghetto, challenged areas, or to solidly
middle class students when given the opportunity kids could solve problems,
some of these resulting in patents for problems long unsolved by experts.
We can do it ourselves.
We can return America to the
vision which captured respect around the world, solving our own problems.
Today, people are dying for corporate profits in wars; On the
streets after they return from war, Vets are dying, homeless and alone.
Families, individuals from all races, viewpoints, and backgrounds, are finding
themselves financially shredded and thrown away. And all of us are watching it
cost more to just live every day.
We will provide solutions, real solutions which have been
tested and are known to work.
One of these is Percentages As You Earn. This is an alternative form of financing
major purchases, for instance student loans and mortgages. Ask Bill Clinton about it. He had a PAYE loan as a student and was proud
to announce he was the first in his class to pay it off three years after graduating from Yale Law School.
Jack Kemp found out about PAYE loans and used them to help
low-income families buy the homes held by HUD during his tenure there. Not one foreclosure took place when tens of
thousands of homes were purchased by low income families. (Website coming)
These are the kind of solutions Hillary knew existed but did
not want you to have. Hillary knew about
Percentages As You Earn in 1993. She
preferred mortgages which provided more corporate profits and the potential for
foreclosures when people ran into financial problems.
Haunted by a student loan?
A PAYE loan can fix the problem, providing stability and a road to
prosperity. All our problems have
solutions, we just need to identify them.
Solutions to health care, student loans, and homelessness already
exist.
Health Care – Mutual Insurance and a Portal to Health that let’s
you see what works and get it for yourself.
You decide, and improving your health is part of the program.
Student Loans – Refinance with Percentages As You Earn (PAYE)
Homelessness – Use the model begin in Utah in 2005. First, provide homes. Today the problem of homelessness in Utah has
shrunk over 90%. And the innovations are
not over. We can do more.
We provide the meeting place and ideas. You improve these or identify better
ones.
At Hi TV Networks we are working to put the tools for
prosperity, justice, and individual rights directly into your hands.
The solutions are out there.
The problem has been with making them available. Join us to be part of the solutions using as
our tools television, dialog, and our inherent ingenuity. Together, we can change our world.
America was intended to be a union of states where the people
govern themselves and our rights are affirmed and protected. We and our families can have that future, if
you choose it.

Rebellion by Leonard L. Richards. Professor Richards was surprised when
he finally did the research to see the story he thought he knew well was
created to hide the truth about this rising of the people in protection of
their rights.
