What if You Owned More Slaves Than Madison Ever Dreamed Of, Pal?
"We often read nowadays of the valor or audacity with which some rebel attacks a hoary tyranny or an antiquated superstition. There is not really any courage at all in attacking hoary or antiquated things, any more than in offering to fight one's grandmother. The really courageous man is he who defies tyrannies young as the morning and superstitions fresh as the first flowers."--G.K. Chesterton
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been re-written, every picture has been re-painted, every statue and street and building has been re-named, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”--George Orwell
"How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of
"The magnitude of this evil [slavery] among us is so deeply felt, and so universally acknowledged, that no merit could be greater than that of devising a satisfactory remedy for it."
“Philosophy is common sense with big words.”
“The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.”
“A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
“It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.”
“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.”
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
“No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.”
“Equal laws protecting equal rights…the best guarantee of loyalty and love of country.”
“If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
"Crisis is the rallying cry of the tyrant."
"We are free today substantially, but the day will come when our Republic will be an impossibility. It will be an impossibility because wealth will be concentrated in the hands of a few. A Republic cannot stand upon bayonets, and when the day comes when the wealth of the nation will be in the hands of a few, then we must rely upon the wisdom of the best elements in the country to readjust the laws of the nations to the changed conditions."
"The ultimate authority resides in the people, and that if the federal government got too powerful and overstepped its authority, then the people would develop plans of resistance and resort to arms.".......
Not Just Jefferson: Now James Madison’s Home Gets an Anti-American Makeover | FrontpageMag--Robert Spenser:
"It’s clear now: the Left has embarked upon a concerted effort to rewrite American history and make Americans ashamed of our heritage at the very sites where it should be most celebrated. Last Sunday I reported that Thomas Jefferson’s home has been taken over by Leftist America-haters, and they didn’t stop there: now the same woke revisionists have gotten their clutches on the home of James Madison, and it’s easy to see why they would want to target the fourth president. He is, after all, known as the Father of the Constitution.
Madison’s home has the feel of having been taken over by an invading army, and in a certain sense, it has been. The New York Post reported Saturday that at Montpelier, Madison’s Virginia plantation, “not a single display focuses on the life and accomplishments of America’s foremost political philosopher, who created our three-branch federal system of government, wrote the Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers, and served two terms as president. Instead, blindsided tourists are hammered by high-tech exhibits about Madison’s slaves and current racial conflicts, thanks to a $10 million grant from left-leaning philanthropist David M. Rubenstein.”
Rubenstein is no ordinary philanthropist. The Post has noted that he is behind the woke-ification of Jefferson’s Monticello also, forking over $20 million for that. Oh, and here’s a shocker: Rubenstein is “on the boards of the globalist World Economic Forum, China’s Tsinghua University, and the Council on Foreign Relations, among others.” Who could have guessed? ...
One visitor noted bitterly that even the American flag doesn’t fly at Montpelier: “On the Fourth of July, we drove four hours to visit the home of the ‘Father of the Constitution.’ You could not find a flag with a search warrant. Very odd. Rather we were treated to a one-hour Critical Race Theory experience disguised as a tour."".......

Mr. Rubenstein in his own words:
Why David Rubenstein is Bullish on China | Duke's Fuqua School of Business, May, 2015:
"David Rubenstein would like to double or triple the number of investment professionals he has working on private equity deals in China.
"I'm extremely bullish on China," the founder and co-CEO of The Carlyle Group said. "I think that China will be, in my lifetime, the greatest source of private equity wealth for investments around the world."
After time spent as a lawyer and as a domestic policy advisor in the Carter administration, Rubenstein started The Carlyle Group in 1987. Today the investment firm manages approximately $200 billion in assets. Rubenstein, who also is chairman of the Duke University Board of Trustees, spoke about the future for private equity in China during the Duke International Finance Forum at Duke Kunshan University, where he also serves on the advisory board.
"China is the greatest place outside the United States to invest..."
Rubenstein said Carlyle was among the first companies to begin private equity work in China back in 1997. He believes now Carlyle is probably the single largest investor in private equity of any global firm in China. "We've invested about $5.9 billion in 80 transactions and we've made a great deal of money...and ultimately a Chinese company will own it."
- "Don't try to do something against what the government is interested in and make sure you understand the levels of government. There are many levels: The federal government, the provincial government, the Communist Party leadership —you need to make sure you know all of the powers-that-be and that you are not doing something inconsistent with their views."
- Editor's note: This story was amended August 27, 2015 to correct the number of investment professionals Carlyle has working in China, as well as the amount of money and number of transactions in which Carlyle has invested in China.".......

The difference, of course, is that Madison's was two centuries ago and Rubenstein's slave-mongering was two minutes ago. I'm for History, warts and all--but not History as Ethical Cleansing, moral preening and especially as a way to destabilize a nation for a Communistic Great Reset.
Surely someone with Rubenstein's exquisite moral sensibility would want it pointed out that he is profiting from China's enslavement of the Uyghurs. But one gets the sense that had he lived in Moses' day, he would be giddily hawking investments in the fast-growing Egyptian chase-chariot industry. You know--Big Chariot.
If Rubenstein is going to fund this historical--radically lopsided and ahistorical, really--assault on our American Founding, shouldn't he also fund tours of Chairmen Mao's home, explaining how Mao founded the Chinese Occupation Government by murdering millions while assaulting children like Joe Biden at a Student Government swearing-in ceremony?
It's not just the Uyghurs, either. The last traces of Hong Kong's independence are being erased, Beijing has imposed drastic COVID lockdowns, Surveillance State-social credit scoring and the confiscation of workers' life savings.
All of which are pet projects of the OBiden Junta and Rubenstein's WEF pals, which they hope to install in America and the other Western Dictatorships.
Some fear that China will invade and conquer Washington, D.C.. To which I say "Again?"
Just yesterday, on orders from Beijing, Robinette Caligula announced he will declare a Climate Emergency to single-handedly wreck the American Economy. Of course, the Constitution says he should wait for Congress to help him.
Everything is an EMERGENCY!!! with these Gangsters--everything but the stuff that is important to American citizens. Somehow, honoring the Constitution is never an Emergency!, either.
I've often said that these End-Stage Liberal-totalitarians not really mad at Madison and jammed-up with Jefferson because the two men owned slaves. No, they're only mad because they don't own any slaves THEMSELVES. They want slaves badly--namely, us.
Like this mom:
“This is not a George Floyd situation. George Floyd was unarmed. This is not OK,” Foss-Yarbrough was seen yelling at a group of (BLM) protesters on Saturday. “He tried to kill me in front of my kids! My kids have to deal with this and probably have a mental illness now because they almost lost their lives,” she said. “There’s bullet holes in my kitchen because he sat in the f–king hallway watching me move. He tried to kill me in front of my kids. I have black children; I am a woman of color!” Foss-Yarbrough, who is of black, white and Native descent, then yelled. “If I would have lost my life, would you guys do this for me?”
Fortunately, those Fascist, Globalist and Corporate-sponsored BLM Riots are only for Main Street Americans. These sorts of things don't happen in David Rubenstein's neighborhood.
Thanks to James Madison's Constitution.
Or what's left of it.
