Curse of Cannan - The New Ensign

of the United States in 1861; he repeated the offer in 1862. Garibaldi had considered it seriously,
but was forced to decline because of other commitments.
European writers generally were appalled at the excesses committed by the Union troops and
the Lincoln administration during the war. The great French writer, Alfred de Vigny, had written
to a Southern lady on September 10, 1862, "Those abominable acts of cruelty perpetrated by the
Northern armies in New Orleans remind one of the invasion of the Barbarians, of Attila's Huns,
or even worse than the VandaIs. I well understand your hatred for those depraved and ferocious
men who are drowning in blood the whole of your beloved country .... A wise state is not one
that resorts to brute force, to murder and fire in order to find a solution to the complex problems
of states' rights. It is a question that should have been settled in public debate."
A public debate was just what Masonic Canaanite conspirators did not want; they managed to
avoid it each time the issue came up. The Times of London, October 21, 1862, editorially
commented, "Is the name of Lincoln to be classified in the catalogue of monsters, wholesale
assassins, and butchers of humanity? ... When blood begins to flow and shrieks come piercing
through the darkness, Mister Lincoln will wait until the rising flames tell that all is consummated,
and then he will rub his hands and think that revenge is sweet." The Times did not know this,
but Lincoln's entire political career was dedicated to the revenge of the Canaanites against the
fair-skinned people of Shem, those who were always to be considered his enemies because of
the color of his skin. The Civil War was merely the latest campaign in a battle which had been
surreptitiously waged during the past three thousand years. After Lincoln's assassination, the
Radical Republicans in Congress moved to impose even more Draconian measures against the
defeated South. The Southerners had offended the basic principle of Masonic Canaanism, that
is, Oriental despotism; any refusal to obey the command of the dictatorial central government
must automatically be followed by the severest punishment. No matter that the Constitution of
the United States had been written by the people of Shem, or that it guaranteed them their States
rights; no matter that the federal government was legally confined in its authority to the District
of Columbia by statute; no matter that no federal authority could enter any state except by express
request of the state legislature. All of this was systematically violated, and now the violated ones
were to endure even greater punishments. Hordes of carpetbaggers followed the Federal troops
into the Southern states like avid camp followers; Federal courts and Federal insane asylums
were now set up in the states for the first time, in flagrant violation of the Constitutional
prohibitions against them. Now ensued a series of "legal" measures which were hailed by the
revolutionary Mazzini, who was known as "the prophet" by Masonic organizations throughout
the world. Mazzini enthused to the Northern conquerors, "You have done more for us in four
years than fifty years of teaching, preaching, and writing by your European brothers have been
able to do!" These measures effectively scrapped the Constitution. A hastily written "Civil Rights
Act" was rushed through Congress. President Andrew Johnson immediately vetoed it, noting
that the right to confer citizenship rested with the several states, and that "the tendency of the
bill is to resuscitate the spirit of rebellion." Indeed, many of the measures enacted by the Radical
Republicans were deliberately intended to provoke the Southerners into open resistance, so that
they could then be exterminated by the overwhelming superiority of the military forces quartered
in their states. The Civil Rights Act was passed over Johnson's veto, as were other similar
measures.
The Federal troops now ordered that "conventions" be held in the Southern states, which were
akin to the conventions called by the perpetrators of the French Revolution. These conventions
were ordered to do three things: (1) nullify the ordinance of secession; (2) repudiate all
Confederate debts; and (3) declare slavery abolished. Collier's Encyclopaedia notes that these
Constitutional conventions held in the Southern states were composed of (1) scalawags (renegade
Southerners); (2) carpetbaggers; and (3) Negroes. The World Book lists them in slightly different
order, as blacks, carpetbaggers, and scalawags. These conventions set up Radical Republican
governments in the Southern states, which were nothing more than occupation governments, set
up by military force. From 1868-1870, the Southern states were once again represented in
