Why Academia Validates Lincoln
Oct 26, 2009 6:20 PM
|
Academia is accredited by the Leviathan state, giving them an essential monopoly on truth-- since the public follows the word of "experts" in academia.
Naturally, the state thus uses its power of accreditation to validate its legitimacy, by approving only those institutions and faculty who shill for it; all others are discredited by lack of accreditation.
Even those credentialed scholars who deny the legitimacy of the current state-- like Kevin R. Gutzman, Thomas Dilorenzo, Thomas Woods, and Judge Napolitano-- are discredited not on the facts they purport, but rather simply as not being professors of law and history in actual accredited universities.
Naturally, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy, since the state decides which universities receive accreditation—and the schools know it; therefore, anyone who wants to eat the king’s bread, had better flatter the emperor’s robe. So of course they're going to validate the state in order to avoid jeopardizing their accredation.
For example, Seth Leibsohn, director of a political action committee called "Empower America," wrote "I know of no legitimate scholar who believes Lincoln acted illegally in defending the Union."
However, as James Ostrowski writes, "any legal scholar who so concluded in print would take himself out of the job market at 99.9 percent of all law schools in the country."
And the same goes for historians, as well as the schools themselves.
So we see that "legitimate" means "state-accredited university professor--" and the state only accredits those universities and professors who validate its Levithan national status, irrespective of all facts. In essence, like Henry VIII the Emperor's wise-men either approve his kingship or lose their heads as traitors-- as Thomas More found out, and even his lackey Cromwell soon followed.

Somehow todays students get the false impression that 'Lincoln freed the slaves'.
None of todays students are taught that Lincoln trashed the US Constitution more than any other US President ever.

Freed the slaves? Hell that's nothing: they think he PRESERVED THE NATION!
They don't know that he treacherously destroyed the nationally sovereign states, and re-wrote history to claim tha tthe Union was ALWAYS one big nation-- not many nations conquered by force.
Until this truth comes out, there is no hope against Leviathan.

F the Constiutution; national sovereignty of the states is the REAL issue.
Get a clue!

"None"? How do you know this? Did you poll EVERY student on this question?
Your uniformed posts never cease to amaze.

It is you that is clueless. There is a world outside your basement hideaway. Get outside and enjoy the world, sitting alone in the glow of a computer is not a life. True you will run the risk of being beaten up by people fed up with your rants, but human nature being what it is, most will recognize that your are a person "with issues" and will mostly leave you alone or offer a measure of fellowship out of pity. Not a pretty picture but better than what you have now.

So tell us, Kurt: are schools and faculty free to dissent on the issue of state sovereignty without fear of losing their state-accreditation as a result?
YES, OR NO?

"Most Americans are under the impression that Abraham Lincoln personally abolished slavery... For generations, many blacks voted Republican out of gratitude to Lincoln."
"But the statement that “Lincoln freed the slaves” is a gross oversimplification."
"Its widespread acceptance shows not only ignorance of history, but a deep incomprehension of the U.S. Constitution."
"No president, as Lincoln well knew, could simply pick up a pen and do away with slavery. To think that he could is remarkably naive — yet that is what most people do think."

And most people in the Soviet Union believed that Lenin pesonally abolished capitalist-exploitation of workers.
ALL empires depend on control of thought through propoganda and censorship..

rdfx, this is a RED HERRING.
The REAL issue, that the states were individually sovereign, and that this fact is being SUPPRESSED by state-run propoganda and censorship.
> "Its widespread acceptance shows not only ignorance
> of history, but a deep incomprehension of the U.S.
> Constitution."
NO. The Consttution could sanction EVERYTHING LIncoln did, but STILL it would not matter, since the Union is VOLUNTARY.
Lincoln's propoganda was that the Union was NATIONAL and therefore mandatory.
Don't you get it?
By getting lured into these "slavery" arguments, you're taking their bait, and chasing a wild goose away from the real issue of sovereign identity.

Do you have to throw EVERY pig off a cliff to prove it can't fly?
Some items simply speak for themselves.
However slavery is the classic red-herring for the Civil War.
> Your uniformed posts never cease to amaze.
Just like your insipid knee-jerk denials never cease to BORE.
