ABRAHAM LINCOLN: AMERICA’S GREATEST WAR CRIMINAL

Abraham Lincoln should without a doubt be named America’s greatest war criminal. His war of invasion not only killed over 600,000 innocent Americans but it was obvious from his earlier speeches that he had previously advocated the prevalent constitutional right of democratic, state by state secession. Lincoln’s War also effectively overthrew the existing decentralized, limited federal government that had existed and governed well in the US since established by America’s founding fathers. Lincoln bastardized a respected federal government with limited powers into a dictatorial, uncontrollable Washington federal empire.

Because of Lincoln, the former American constitutional republic fell from a dream of liberty and limited government into the nightmare big government we have today without the earlier checks and balances of state sovereignty. After Lincoln, In foreign policy, the US forgot George Washington’s warning about neutrality and we became an aggressive military abroad until today we have troops defending the Washington Empire in over 144 nations around the world.

The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connections as possible. It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world.—George Washington

Lincoln shares his war criminal actions with other well know tyrants that waged war on their own people. History shows us that politicians make war against their own citizens even more than against foreign nations. The reasons are often to establish and preserve their power base, as was the case in the Russian Revolution and the Mao Revolution. For others, like Hitler, it was misguided super patriotism and racism that brought death to tens of millions. Sadly, in the case of Abraham Lincoln’s war against the Confederacy and Southern civilians, it was all for money, company profits and government tariff revenues. A simple case of political pay back in return for the Northeastern manufacturing interests that supported the Republican Party and his campaign for the presidency. Early in his career, Abraham Lincoln was an honorable statesman who let election year politics and the special interests supporting his presidential campaign corrupt a once great man. He knew what he was doing was wrong and unconstitutional but succumbed, as in the case of many modern day politicians, to the allure of money, power and ego.

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right - a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people, that can, may revolutionize, and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit. -- Abraham Lincoln January 12, 1848

This quote above shows Lincoln as a statesman 12 years before he plunged the United States into its most disastrous war. Suffering a death toll so high in death rates as a percentage of total population, his act of carnage ranks with the political genocides of Stalin, Lenin and Mao during their communist revolutions. A death toll so great that it dwarfs the American deaths in all of our many declared and undeclared wars before and since this American holocaust of death and destruction.

From the following quote you can see that later Lincoln radically adjusted his rhetoric to meet the needs and demands of his business establishment supporters and financial supporters.

No state, upon its own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Plainly, the central idea of secession, is the essence of anarchy. --Abraham Lincoln

Why the complete change in rhetoric and actions? Simple, to preserve high tariffs and corporate profits for the Northeastern business establishment. Lincoln who earlier in his career had obviously favored the right of peaceful secession, provoked a war that killed 600,000 Americans, as a pay back to the eastern manufacturing establishment that bankrolled his presidential campaign. These special interests would have suffered serious financial loss if a low tariff Confederate States of America were allowed to peacefully, democratically and constitutionally secede from the United States in lawful state constitutional conventions of secession which were identical to the ratification conventions when they had joined the Union. Thus the real reasons for the death and destruction of Lincoln’s War were covered up and hidden by historians who continue, even today, to deny the truth and hide the ultimate costs of Lincoln’s American holocaust. While Lincoln’s death toll is small in comparison to total deaths by Mao, Lenin, Stalin and Hitler, there are many similarities between these men. In the Russian Civil War, from 1917 - 1922 around 9 million died under Lenin and we must add another 20 million under Stalin from 1929 to 1939. The Mao communist regime in China killed 44 to 70 million Chinese from 1949 – 1975.

Still the US constitutional republic, as established by our founding fathers, was in effect destroyed by Lincoln’s unconstitutional war just as surely as Mao and Lenin over threw the existing Chinese and Russian governments. The multitude of Lincoln apologists would say that this is just another Confederate argument certainly not accepted by most historians. I might counter that the opinions and books of these "so called" establishment historians who live off my tax dollars through government funding at liberal controlled universities and think tanks are prejudiced towards Lincoln and Washington DC. They are no different from the official government historians in China, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Their job is to lie to the American people and cover up a true and honest account of our history in order to support the government and political system in power.

History shows us that a fair and honest discussion of Lincoln’s wartime actions will not be possible as long as the Washington political establishment remains in power. Since Lincoln, the Washington Empire has reigned supreme and omnipotent and for this reason, establishment historians have never honestly debated the Lincoln war crimes.

Consider this. Was a fair and honest account of Lenin or Stalin written and published during the Soviet Communist regime? Of course not. Could a less than worshipful history of Hitler’s Third Reich have been published until after 1945? No! Even today, with only nominal communist control of China, an honest appraisal of Mao’s revolution and crimes against the Chinese people still is not possible. It is no different today in the United States than it is in Red China or was in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union. Just as Lenin’s statue could not be toppled in Red Square until after the fall of the Soviet Communist government, or the truth about Hitler couldn’t be told until after defeat of Nazi Germany, it is the same here in the United States. It is my hope that someday, in the not too distant future, a true account of the war crimes of Lincoln will be discussed, debated and even acknowledged. The Lincoln Memorial should be remodeled to show the horrors of "Lincoln the War Criminal" with the opportunity for all to visit Washington and learn how war crimes, genocide and holocaust are not just crimes that foreign politicians commit. Government and political tyranny can and has happened here just like in Germany, China and the Soviet Union and that through education and honest history, it will never happen here again.

In the future, may we have the opportunity to learn about the Nazi holocaust at the United States National Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington and then have the chance to visit the Lincoln War Crimes and American Holocaust Museum a few blocks away. One will state for all the world that NEVER AGAIN will a tyrant or government be allowed to target, exterminate and destroy an ethnic, racial or religious minority. The other will pledge NEVER AGAIN in America will we allow a president or government to make unconstitutional war against Sovereign states or their citizens and then cover up the truth up for over 145 years.

We should start today with an honest appraisal of what Lincoln really did to Dixie, how our black and white innocent noncombatants suffered under his total war policy against civilians. Finally we should address the cost in lives, lost liberty and federal taxes the citizens of the US have had to endure because our limited constitutional republic was destroyed.

Abraham Lincoln was a great man, a smart politician and he could have been an excellent president, had he considered the short-term costs of his high tariff and the long time price every American had to pay for his war of invasion. It is time to stop worshipping Lincoln and educate the public about the war crimes he committed against the citizens of the Southern States so this WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN

We all lost, it is just that fools from what was called the winning side (the North) are too busy smugly patting themselves on the back to notice their ass is missing. Ignorance being bliss, it is unlikely they will ever notice the loss.

Alcoa To Open New Plant
(AP)- The Alcoa corp. said today that, although they regret having to close a small plant in Pennsylvania, they are pleased to announce the opening of a new TIN FOIL factory.

A spokesman for Alcoa said, "This new plant will be dedicated to the memory of Abraham Lincoln and its output will be able to supply the needs of fools, idiots, morons and cretins like Ron Holland and those who buy into his tripe"

BUMP!

I am amazed someone has not already hit the abuse-button on these wacko-Lincoln-bashers. Jim should really start just saying enough is ENOUGH of their veiled pro-slavery crap.

Okay ... so you can recite the pledge, so what?

Are you capable of thinking and reasoning for yourself? It is a right you know.

among our people, lincoln's name is "kills the women & children"!

So...you don't speak english among your people?

Did Sherman cut & paste, too?

Sure did. He cut this.....

..... and pasted this.

He was cool.

it's called freedom of speech. to American Indians and to MANY citizens of the southland lincoln was a war criminal and cheap politician-nothing, more nothing less!

clinton & lincoln must have been brothers, through some sort of "time warp"-it's difficult to tell which is/was WORSE, more corrupt and a bigger disgrace to the country.

in klintoon's case it was selling us down the drain to the chicoms, for $$$$$$$$$. in lincoln's case it was destroying liberty for political power, which he lusted after more than money.

for dixie,sw

in klintoon's case it was selling us down the drain to the chicoms, for $$$$$$$$$. in lincoln's case it was destroying liberty for political power, which he lusted after more than money.

Bump!! Don't forget also establishing military tribunals. I've heard three people in my office today mention the War of Northern Aggression instance as an example for Bush

Of course lincoln's were found unconstitutional, but that doesn't seem to matter

From deep in the EMPIRE,

Rather it was the south which made defense of slavery the cornerstone for their reasons for secession.

How do you explain that Lincoln appealed the South by letting them keep slavery if they quit fighting? If the South was truly fighting for slavery, why would it not take Lincoln's offer?

By the time Lincoln had been inagurated the original 7 southern stated had seceded and Davis had been installed as president of the confederacy. Defense of the institution of slavery was far and away the most common reason given for their actions, often the only reason given for their actions. Did you expect them to call it all off?

I am amazed someone has not already hit the abuse-button on these wacko-Lincoln-bashers. Jim should really start just saying enough is ENOUGH of their veiled pro-slavery crap.

Oh, I definitely disagree. The more the neo-confederate crowd spout this 'legal secession/slave owners were honorable' crap, the more the real stroy comes out. And it is good to remember that the founding fathers were wise enough to build an indissoluable union, one that was strong enough to hold national elections in the midst of a giant rebellion.

It's a great story that only gets a lot of play in response to these nincompoops and their fantasy ravings.

Ho hum. Because Lincoln's bedrock, don't-give-an-inch position was that slavery be limited to the areas where it already existed. He knew that it would die if it were contained.

The slave holders knew it too.

"I am amazed someone has not already hit the abuse-button on these wacko-Lincoln-bashers. Jim should really start just saying enough is ENOUGH of their veiled pro-slavery crap."

If someone doesn't agree with "your" position then they are wackos? Where did you read a comment that advocated a return to slavery, or that it is preferred?

If you view the main FreeRepublic page, you will find the following comment, "[w]e're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption ..." The continued defense of Lincoln and his lies regarding secession, slavery, racial equality and everything else is amazing.

In his memoirs Sherman boasted that his army destroyed more than $100 million in private property and carried home $20 million more during his "march to the sea."

Sherman would announce that "to the petulant and persistent secessionists, why, death is mercy." In 1862 Sherman wrote his wife that his purpose in the war would be "extermination, not of soldiers alone, that is the least of the trouble, but the people" of the South. His loving and gentle wife wrote back that her wish was for "a war of extermination and that all [Southerners] would be driven like swine into the sea. May we carry fire and sword into their states till not one habitation is left standing."

Real Cool, Guys.

"It's a great story that only gets a lot of play in response to these nincompoops and their fantasy ravings."

It's a fantasy to expect our political leaders abide by the contract that they wrote?

"[T]he founding fathers were wise enough to build an indissoluable union, one that was strong enough to hold national elections in the midst of a giant rebellion."

Indissoluable? National election? Who did Georgia vote for in 1864?
