Colonial response to Governor Hutchinson's declaration was swift, and not surprisingly, it was led by patriot Samuel Adams. At a Boston town meeting on November 2, 1772, at Adam's suggestion, a standing Committee of Correspondence was appointed for the purpose of writing a declaration of colonial grievances and an assertion of their rights. Adams' "Rights of the Colonists" and Dr. Joseph Warren's "List of Infringements and Violations of Rights" were transmitted to other Massachusetts towns, and soon more Committees of Correspondence sprang up. With each new committee came new declarations, invariably denying the authority of Parliament over the colonies...If anyone can provide a link to the complete text of Dr. Warren's "List of Infringements...", please advise. But just a cursory glance at Adams' treatise, particularly "Natural Rights of the Colonists as Men," demonstrates to anyone who can read what a damned lie the fraudulent "collective rights as intent of the Founders" deception really is.
With the Committees of Correspondence, the organized political machinery for revolution was being assembled.
Why "we" continue to bargain with deceivers, liars and frauds is beyond me.
Such is not only beyond my ken, but frustrating as Hell to have someone say they believe as I do, but we should tread carefully around these deceivers and moderate our words, lest we offend them and they oppose us. DUH!
ReplyDeleteWe bargain with the liars, thieves, and frauds because they will KILL YOU if you don't. Anything you do had also better not be able to be traced back to you, as you can't get a traditional job, open a bank account, nor do any other of a huge number of things without your gov't papers, which if you use after resisting the tyrants, will lead the murderers right to you.
ReplyDeleteI'm merely hoping to bide my time until enough of us simultaneously thing "that's it, we're done bargaining!"
