THE SIX NATIONS AND THE IROQUOIS CONFEDERACY - BARON MONTESQUIEU - ROUSSEAU - JOHN ADAMS, JEFFERSON, MADISON, GEORGE WASHINGTON - OTHERS - ALL PLAYED A ROLE - IN THE FORMATION OF OUR REPUBLIC.

 





The Long Cabin - the Six Nations - the Iroquois Confederacy - a Matrichial Government - the Six Nations and their contribution to the U.S. Constitution - must not go unnoticed.


The Six Nations - the Iroquois Confederacy - Rousseau, Baron Montesquieu, John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, George Washington - played a crucial role in forming our Republic.

As a student of Philosophy - early on in my life, I read  -" The Spirit of Laws," a thesis written by Baron Montesquieu.

It took Baron Montesquieu fourteen years to complete this book - which gave me a complete understanding - of a Republic, the Monarchy, and Despotism - better known today as the Autocratic governments - Russia, China, North Korea, and with all the fanatics we have floating around in the United States - we can be heading away from Democracy to what I have stated above.




Baron Montesquieu - circa 1689 - 1795


This French philosopher studied civilizations, anthropology, and various forms of Government; he was deep into what we today call " behavioral sciences" -  his book " The Spirit of Laws " - has been a beacon to those that love Philosophy and the workings of any type of Government. 




Jean-Jacques Rousseau cira 1712-1778



The Founding Fathers - United States of America.



For those interested in Government - we are familiar with Rousseau, some of the Founding Fathers, John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and our First President of the United States, George Washington.

Never, ever in our Nation's history - have we had an event so atrocious as what happened on January 6, 2021.

When I saw what was unfolding before my eyes - I recalled reading the thesis of Baron Montesquieu. I had to go back and read what I had read thirty years ago - the comparative study Baron Montesquieu - the Republic, the Monarchy, and of course, Despotism - better known today as Autocratic Governments. 

Baron Montesquieu, as did our Founding Fathers - held that Government should be separated and balanced to guarantee individual rights of Freedom.

I often say there is Freedom, and there is License- abuse of Freedom is License.

I also say only those with their heart in the right place can take others to a better place.




This land belongs to the indigenous people - it is a fact - that Turtle Island was pristine - until the strangers came and contaminated and polluted it.

Today we, the United States, are the world's worst polluters - and for all the talk - we cannot walk the walk.

Climate Change, Global Inflation, the divide between the filthy rich and the very poor - there is the Great Spirit - and we know right and wrong.

In parts of Africa, millions are dying - and for sure, with the billions we have - we could provide tents, food, medicines, and more to the over 60 million starving on the Continent of Africa.

The paradox lies in this lie - the rich nations pollute, and the very poor suffer from severe drought, fires, flooding, and all sorts of other natural - calamities.



Chief Joseph - circa 1814-1904




Chief Sitting Bull - circa 1831-1890





Chief Geronimo - circa 1829-1909


Against all odds, Chief Joseph did all in his power to save his people - he even took his people to Canada - was invited back by the United States Government - we know about the trails of tears - and more. Chief Joseph loved his people - and was wise - in the end, his heart was heavy - he closed his eyes and departed. 

Chief Sitting Bull united the Lakota Nation - he also defeated Custer and his arrogance - he permitted Custer to be laid to rest - as one who fought against Chief Sitting Bull - and was defeated - he honored Custer as a warrior.

Geronimo fought all his life and loved his people - his many battles and skirmishes are well known - Apache. Geronimo was forced to surrender for the sake of his people - who were sent thousands of miles away to Florida - he spent his last days at Fort Sill.









The recent midterm elections have revealed some complex layers that have baffled those that think they can predict - do predict a little - but fail to give credit where credit is due.

We know right now the Senate will be controlled by the Democrats.

We are a Republic, and the Senate was fashioned after the Roman Senate - be it our Founding Fathers - wanted experienced persons to hold the position. Older and wiser  - and in recent years - we have seen the Senate reduced to a circus.

In our Republic, the U.S. Senate is that force that shines light where there is abject darkness. Only those whose heart is in the right place can take others to a better place.

Senator Chuck Schumer has his work cut out for him - in the past, he has been weak in the knees - a lackey - the time has come for him to lead. Good leaders know the way, show the way, and go the way. 

As of today, it is too close to call - the Democrats again are doing well.

The House may be controlled by the Democrats. They must serve the people with humility. Make no bones of this short-lived - victory of sorts.

The Democrats must give kudos to millions of women who voted because their lives were perilous. 

We must credit Republican and Democratic women - who stood tall, spoke, and voted - truth to power. No one has any right to abuse the Freedom of anyone - woman or man - as a citizen of the United States our Constitution is what matters.

We must not take our women for granted - our American women - are astute and stellar.

Many men supported our women - who stood shoulder to shoulder - and voted that our women be free and have the rights - embedded in our Constitution. After all, most men honor and respect their mothers - their sisters - women who have played a role in their lives.

It is the same with most decent women - they know right from wrong. We each have a conscience - we see the direction we must head towards - fine-tune your conscience, and all will fall in place.

Our youth and young adults worked hard to communicate and achieve fantastic results.

We are a Republic, and as citizens, we must be free - FREEDOM is what we stand for. We must not be bullied by the lies, evil deeds, cheater, and LOSER - Donald Trump. He is an egoistical maniac.

We citizens must be free - so that we can contribute freely - and we must discern and know what is right and wrong.

Stop making general statements - we must put Freedom first - honor our Constitution.

Know that the Legislative Branch has its work cut out. 

The Executive Branch is in place - President Joe Biden has done well - whatever anyone may say - he saved the day.

Our Supreme Court must undergo some drastic change - it is simply wrong to stack the Supreme Court with Conservatives.

Those fanatics who want to harm our Nation - must be dealt with - adjudicated by our court on a war footing.

The many traitors, including Donald Trump - must have their passports taken away.

The Constitution describes in detail how a traitor must be dealt with. 

It is shocking to the entire world - that we have this demon - lying to the people - cheating - failing to abide by the laws of the land - making a laughingstock of our Democracy.

Those in authority must examine their heads - time to get the military involved.

We cannot endure this nonsense anymore.

The midterm elections were saved - by those sane - decent women, independent voters, youth and young adults, those who treasure their FREEDOM.

Enough is Enough.
