A NOTE FROM THE FUTURE—Not because the burning of the Nice Library of Alexandria has human studying suffered such a grave setback as occurred on Inauguration Day 2021. On that bleak day, “President” Joseph Biden cleansed the White Home web site of The 1776 Report, which historians consider to have been a masterwork of historiography and citizenship commissioned by the Trump Administration and revealed in its last days.
The Report was fashioned to repudiate the New York Instances’s sinister (maybe foreign-inspired?) “1619 Undertaking” (which truthfully went on and on and on about this complete slavery factor till you could possibly nearly scream). Accessible sources point out that the authors of the 1776 doc represented a variety of views, starting from the arduous proper to kind of kind of the middle proper; bipartisan affiliations from country-club Republican to full MAGA; tutorial establishments from Claremont McKenna School to Patrick Henry School; skilled backgrounds from full-time conservative activist to full-time right-wing think-tank fellow; and credentials as historians from none all the best way to nil. Within the latest literature, you see folks writing that they did a terrific job and are being an increasing number of acknowledged every single day. Some are writing that these members have been essentially the most distinguished and numerous students ever assembled on the White Home since Calvin Coolidge dined alone.
Interval.
So, the loss to historical past by the vandalism of the Biden “Administration” is incalculable. However simply as fragments of medieval manuscripts survive, students have unearthed one doc that was in truth not on the web site and was thus spared the Biden purge of “politically incorrect” scholarship. This “Govt Abstract” was apparently nonetheless within the rigorous enhancing course of when the total report went up and is being made out there right here for the very first time. We’re revealing it right here full with the editor’s notes we present in it. The names of the editors are unknown, although students variously counsel that one was former strategist Stephen Bannon later the founding father of the Institute for Superior Nationalist Research, and one other, maybe, Decide Jeanine Pirro. (One curious notation within the sources mentions a pillow-maker, however that is doubtless some type of scrivener’s error.). “Ed 2” appears to have been a civil-service worker. Additional references to this particular person within the file bear the ambiguous notation TERMINATED.
The 1776 Report: The President’s Advisory 1776 Fee—Govt Abstract
(not out there to mainstream media)
- INTRODUCTION.
In recent times, sinister forces have begun to criticize America and to counsel that some episodes in its historical past embody discrimination, violence, and hate. Those that counsel this could die. [Ed 2: Tone Down? Ed 1: Are you a RINO?] In all of American historical past, errors have been made however principally America is one of the best. USA! USA! [Ed 2: Do we need the chanting? Ed 1: I can’t hear you, the chanting is too loud!]
- THE MEANING OF THE DECLARATION.
On July 4, 1776, there have been two and a half million folks dwelling in America. Most have been English, Protestant, and Christian. [Ed 2: Suggest mentioning Native people, some of whom fought in the revolution. They aren’t mentioned at all Ed 1: No, that’s wrong. We quote Jefferson on “merciless savages.” Ed 2: There were millions of Native people back then. Ed. 1: Where? I don’t see them anywhere in the re-enactments of Plymouth Rock. Ed 2: Jews were here too. The report never mentions them either. Ed 1: Are you accusing me of bigotry? I am socially acquainted with many Jewish persons.,] They declared Independence and stated, “all males are created equal.” The thought flows instantly and completely from Christianity. [Ed 2: Mention Enlightenment? Ed 1: No. Turns out that whole thing was a big mistake.] Placing it within the Declaration was a stroke of genius as a result of it purchased the nation not less than a century earlier than Individuals needed to really do something about that concept, which turned out to upset lots of people.
- A CONSTITUTION OF PRINCIPLES
In 1787, the folks despatched the wisest males within the nation to Philadelphia to put in writing a brand new Structure. [Ed. 2: Mention that Philadelphia Convention was not called to write new constitution and did so in secret? Ed 1: Who told you that, Howard Zinn?] It ensures essential stuff. First, Article Nowhere supplies that the federal authorities can’t do something besides the navy. Second, “spiritual liberty” means the federal government protects faith, enforces its tenets and requires residents to worship within the Christian church of his alternative as a result of freedom. [Ed 2: Ahem, Jews. Ed 1: Ahem, shut up.] Third, it signifies that folks have a proper to have weapons. There’s another stuff within the Structure (it’s lengthy and TBH BO-ring) however these are the issues that matter. [Ed 2: Mention provisions that protected slavery? Ed 1: Did you say something? Tell me you didn’t! Ed 2: ________________]
- CHALLENGES TO AMERICA’S PRINCIPLES
SLAVERY. Slavery was dangerous. However keep in mind everyone was doing it again then. [Ed 2: If everybody was jumping off a cliff, would we do that too? Ed 1: Do you know nothing about American exceptionalism?] And there was a bunch of slavery in historic occasions, like examine Aristotle, and many others. [Ed 2: Do we want to go back to Aristotle? That was a long time ago. Ed 1: He was a really smart guy and he married Jackie Kennedy.] America needed to have it as a result of if we hadn’t, slaveowners would have been very sad, and the Declaration ensures happiness. And keep in mind, the motion to abolish slavery began in the USA! [Ed 2: Just called reference desk at Library of Congress and they said the movement started in England. Ed 1: Give me the name of whoever you talked to. We may need to clean house.] There was a Civil Battle and funky uniforms after which slavery went away, in order that’s all proper, then.
PROGRESSIVISM. A lot worse than slavery was the specter of Progressivism, led by anti-American traitors like Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson. [Ed 2: Roosevelt and Taft were Republicans. Ed 1: Right, strike them and leave Wilson. Good pickup.] Progressives believed America ought to change. That was dangerous sufficient, however then they created administrative companies and everyone knows how a lot they suck. [Ed 2: Explain what they are? Ed 1: Why? They will be abolished in Trump’s second term. Ed 2: People will need reminding then. E: Actually, I am not sure what they do. I just know they are bad, like the deep state or public employee unions.]
FASCISM. Fascism was Progressivism with uniforms. America single-handedly conquered it all around the world, and everyone thanked us. [Ed 2: Mention European allies and USSR? Ed 1: See below about Communism and Socialism.] However do they keep in mind now and promote us Greenland? Noooo-ooo! [Ed 2: Tone? Ed 1: Can’t handle the truth?]
COMMUNISM. Communism can also be Progressivism however in ill-fitted fits and boxy hats. Socialism ditto however a few of them converse English, which makes them worse. [Ed 2: Whatevs.]
RACISM AND IDENTITY POLITICS. After an enlightened Congress led to civil rights, ungrateful racial minorities broke Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s coronary heart by asking for employment and academic alternatives. They’re nonetheless at it, doing harm to actual Individuals. All people is saying so. [Ed 2: Mention racial segregation? Ed 1: Okay, if you can find a place that doesn’t break up the flow but don’t make some kind of big deal about it, we all know that in hindsight, it was regrettable, like slavery.]
- THE TASK OF NATIONAL RENEWAL. Freedom should flourish. However there are some on this nation who don’t agree. They educate one thing referred to as “crucial race concept” in colleges and faculties [Ed 2: Define? Ed 1: How would I know? Call your friend at Library of Congress if they’re so smart.] and publish issues within the media that criticize America. They declare that America isn’t what Founding Father Ronald Reagan referred to as “a shining metropolis on a hill.” [Ed 2: RR born 1911. Ed 1: Your point?]. These disloyal haters are a hazard to freedom. Readers of this report are suggested to seek out anybody who teaches unapproved views and be certain that they’re canceled.
Don’t name the FBI; everyone knows they’re Deep State. [Ed 2: Why are you looking at me that way? Ed 1: No reason.]
