Kingdom Come

In popular culture, the Alamo, a Spanish mission in San Antonio, is regarded as an untrammeled symbol of freedom. Referred to as the “cradle of Texas liberty,” in Texas, devotion to it is fervent…The “defenders of the Alamo,” the men who died there at the hands of the Mexican army in 1836, are regarded as heroic martyrs who valued liberty more than life, and who paid the supreme price on behalf of Texas.

But hidden under the fig leaf of liberty, the primary reasons for the wars against Mexico in 1835-36 and 1846-48 have been obscured.

Enriching the elite at the top of the food chain. Exactly as we are seeing being done in 2025 by President Trump’s billionaire friends at the expense of the entire American nation and the world.

Cotton cultivation was begun by Anglo-American colonists in Mexico in 1821. In 1849 a census of the cotton production of the state of Mexico reported 58,073 bales (500 pounds each).

Steven F. Austin, land speculator, modeled his settlements on Southern slave states, making additional land available for each enslaved person that was brought into Texas. Mexico imposed several measures to end or limit slavery without success.

Alarmed by the volume of Anglo-American immigration, Mexico put measures in place to stop the flow but in the next four years the number of Anglo-American immigrants doubled to 21,000, many of them illegal immigrants. Many of these took the form of organized militias recruited within slave states in blatant violation of the Neutrality Act. These played a significant role in the 1935 revolt against Mexico.

Slavery interests in the U.S., or “slavocracy,” including the brilliant and devious President Andrew Jackson, which agitated incessantly for the spread of slavery funded and equipped an invading army in order to expand Southern slave states. created out of Mexican territory.

Most of the American combatants in the Mexican-American War were recent arrivals, promised free land in exchange for service, as were most of the delegates to the convention when independence was declared on March 2, 1836.

Following the change in ownership of the land from Mexico to the United States of America, the Indians were removed from their lands, again, not for defensive purposes but for profit, reflected in the 1859 production figures showing a sharp rise in production of cotton.

For 134 years, from 1803 to 1937, America was the world’s leading cotton exporter.

This is far more significant than our polyester culture realizes. In many respects, cotton’s financial and political influence in the 19th century can be compared to that of the oil industry in the early 21st century.

In the mid-1800s the cotton industry was one of the world’s largest industries, and most of the world supply of cotton came from the American South. This industry, fueled by the labor of enslaved people on plantations, generated huge sums of money for the slaves’ owners and the Southern states.

Like the Alamo, the North’s real reason for fighting the South is hidden under the fig leaf of liberty.

The Civil War pushed the Northern States of the United States into first place among industrial powers by 1900  outstripping Great Britain [in one generation].”

The bloodshed and number of lives sacrificed – and I use that term intentionally – to make this happen is staggering.

“Approximately 625,000 men died in the Civil War, more Americans than in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War combined...Two percent of the population died, the equivalent of 6 million men today.“

This price was not paid by either side for or against the morality of slavery. It was paid by the expendable masses in order for the self-exalted elitists to expand their wealth and power.

The future of former enslaved people remained sealed in the cotton fields.

African Americans were denied economic and physical mobility by federal government policy, by the racial animosity of Northern White people, and most of all by the enduring need for cheap labor in the cotton fields of the South.

The federal government devise a form of containment policy, whereby “freed” African Americans would  be forced to work on other-wise abandoned cotton fields under contracts that forbade them to leave the plantation without a pass.

According to a review conducted in 1864, as many as two-thirds of the labor force was thought to have been defrauded of their wages through policies such as the one deducting one-half of a day’s pay if a laborer missed two hours of work.

And this didn’t end with the liberal’s Great Society begun in the 1960’s.

The current state of dysfunction in the black community (astronomically high crime rates, very low rates of home ownership and single motherhood as the norm) are not the natural state of the black community in the United States, but closely tied to the role that social welfare programs play.

Or as Dr. Thomas Sowell stated:

“If we wanted to be serious about evidence, we might compare where blacks stood a hundred years after the end of slavery with where they stood after 30 years of the liberal welfare state. In other words, we could compare hard evidence on “the legacy of slavery” with hard evidence on the legacy of liberals…”

When we review America’s racism we discover that not only is there the unapologetic White Supremacist side, there is an insidious side that poses as a savior but is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

• In 1965, when the Great Society began in earnest following the massive electoral landslide reelection of LBJ, the out-of-wedlock birthrate among the black community was 21 percent.
  • By 2017, this figure had risen to a whopping 77 percent…with most of the unwed mothers being teenagers.
  • We have documented extensively…the negative effects of the single-parent household on child development and outcomes. The black community is now entering its third generation of single parenthood as the norm, something that rose astronomically with the advent of the Great Society…
• black women were more likely to be married than white women as late as 1950…In the 1950s, 52 percent of all black children lived with both parents until the age of 17.
  • By the 1980s, that number had plummeted to 6 percent…
• Among married black families, the poverty rate is 8 percent.
  • Among black households headed by a single mother, that rate jumps to 37 percent.
  • There is no better predictor of male criminality than being raised in a fatherless home. 70 percent of all juvenile offenders in state reform institutions were raised in fatherless homes.
  • This includes 60 percent of all rapists, 72 percent of all murderers, and 70 percent of long-term inmates…
• Data provided by every census between 1890 and 1954 shows that black Americans were just as active – and sometimes more – in the labor market than their white counterparts. In 1900, for example, black unemployment was 15 percent lower than white unemployment.
  • In 2017, it was 30 percent higher…

By 1920, there were tens of thousands of black businesses in the United States…

This concept was known as “double duty dollars.” The idea is that money spent at black businesses not only purchased goods for the consumer, but also played a role in advancing the black race in America. This, and not government handouts, was seen as the primary means of achieving, if not a perfect equality with whites, a social parity with them… [Emphasis added.]

This, however, began to change in the 1950s…National businesses simply saw that there was an emerging black middle class with money to spend and didn’t want to get cut out of the market.

Today, black business ownership is in a state of “collapse” according to Marketplace.org.

These examples don’t begin to uncover American government’s pack of wolves in sheep’s clothing, but should at least open our minds to the likelihood that we, the people, are not being told everything that goes on behind closed doors in the halls of power.
