After spending 10 years on this REDEEM THE DREAM NOW project, writing our 2nd Declaration of Independence from modern and ancient runaway government. Our 2nd from economic tyranny, that is called RTDNOW, Redeem The Dream Now. After writing and making 100 songs, writing 100 Song Bonus materials explaining, after 100 Time Traveler Moments that bring the motivations (to extend the real American dream or take it away) of our history makers to light and to life for all to see and understand. After inventing, writing and directing the RTDNOW Website and movement, I can tell you one thing for certain. It’s not an accident. It’s a lot of careful investigative thought over time which enables clarity to emerge after all the smoke is taken out of American history. Them the real complete American dream of equality (social, political, and economic) is rediscovered. It only lived from 1776-1787.

 

Our history books show George Washington as the reluctant politician, a retired General after the Revolutionary War. There was worry that early America without a common monetary system and no taxation system (that was disorganized economic freedom that needed a little organizing) that operated as a modern European Union with 13 sovereign (independent and free) States, would fall into paralyzing chaos and be vulnerable to attack by Britain again, Spain or its tentative ally, France, prior to its revolution. So ‘the Annapolis conference’ was held to modify, to discuss amending, the Articles of Confederation, our 1st Real Constitution, to address these concerns.

 

When nobody participates, same problem we have today, and what I’m trying to fix with a daily 100 song free rock opera to create 100% participation, as you add your name at RTDNOW.COM, the few take charge over the many and cast your, the people’s concerns for freedom, away. Alexander Hamilton showed up at the Annapolis Conference, which is 90% of any battle. But only about 30% of the States representatives did. Nothing happened at the Annapolis conference because nobody of note showed up and there was no critical mass. Maybe that’s because, like most accounts of 1786, most were busy and happy. Except Alexander Hamilton. Like the good lieutenant he was to Washington in the Revolutionary War, he reported to Washington: “nobody’s participating, the country is yours for the taking.”

 

Here’s where I start reading between the lines, my re-interpretation of what our white washed history books portray. This is based on having done almost as much rewriting of our formative documents (updating them to a 2020 world where we all can read, write, add, and have instant cell phone communicators) as Jefferson and Madison and Hamilton did. Jefferson wrote the 1st Declaration of Independence, I wrote our second, updating it, called, RTDNOW. Madison drafted the Constitution, I drafted the RTDNOW PLAN with amendments that restore the original complete American Dream. Hamilton wrote the Federalist Papers saying how the Constitution works (he wrote and published 85 essays, with John Jay doing a few), I wrote the RTDNOW Website which serves the same purpose explaining how the RTDNOW PLAN and a new government should work and why it’s a better idea for all the people in my 200 daily essays: Song Bonus Material, (aka The RTDNOW Book) and Time Traveler Moments which bring detailed historical context. So after all this reading, writing, living 61 years of life experiences, and reflective thought, I can tell you for certain. George Washington was not a disinterested, pushed along by others, reluctant participant, as history portrays him in 1785-1790. Not one bit. 

 

George Washington who delivered Thomas Jefferson’s Perfect Real American dream of EQUALITY, by separating America from Britain as the Continental Army’s commander, drove the whole new ‘Federalist’ ‘Constitution’ process of separating the real American dream of 1776 from the American people and replacing it with an imperial presidency in 1789. It was a military operation. It seems Washington excelled at separating things, taking things away. He was also a man from Plato’s ‘Warrior Class’. He fights to win. That's American spirit!

 

Washington, Madison and Hamilton’s new ‘not better’ ‘not new’ and ‘not revolutionary’ idea of overly centralized government, called Federalism, was a movement started five years before it became the first political party that took away State and citizen freedom. Note: This is also why RTDNOW is a movement. It’s an idea of decentralized government bringing local control and prosperity to all the people, which recreates equality. Our original American Dream. RTDNOW is a new movement making the case to every single American, that there’s a MUCH better way forward for all.

 

The problem in 1787 was that Washington used his clout as former leader of the Continental Army (sounds like the storyline from the movie Gladiator) to hold the Continental Convention of 1787 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Once 46 delegates were there, armed guards were at the doors and all attendees were sealed in for four long hot months and sworn under penalty of death (that’s what guns meant) to silence. As they were slowly bent to the pre drafted positions Washington directed, and Hamilton and Madison put it on paper. Already acting as President, Washington had his people carry out his plan. The history books say Madison wrote most of the Constitution. But I can assure you, you can’t write the Federalist Papers if you didn’t directly participate in writing the Constitution: you can’t accurately describe something you don’t understand or believe. And if Washington hadn’t specified exactly what he would put his reputation behind (overthrow of the existing government of the people) and his name to, he wouldn’t do any of this! At its core, what these four did was treasonous. They did not amend the current government in a people’s process as I seek, they just overthrew it. It was what history books call our ‘quiet second revolution’.

 

So the truth finally be told, old George Washington, the deliverer of American Independence as leader of the Continental Army, took away the real American dream for the last 240 years. He decided, it shall be done, and then just did it. That's why he apologizes in his farewell speech. He knew exactly what he did: destroyed equality. I’m just asking 300 Million citizens to decide to restore the original American Dream: and it shall be done.

 

The ‘New’ constitution was written and delivered with NO bill of rights!

None. Stop right there. This was a military authoritarian takeover. What we hypocritically object to when it happens elsewhere in the world. The Bill of Rights was only added AFTER because a few citizen activist leaders like GEORGE MASON  and THOMAS JEFFERSON objected in a HUGE way. He wouldn’t sign the coup de tat, the Constitution, overthrowing the first government of we the people, at Independence Hall of all places (the marketing of it!) without citizen rights. And they made such a stink that the States, State representatives, needed a lot of honey, as in a lot of money honey, like a Trillion dollars back in that day, to payoff all State war debts.

 

So to pull off this whole heist of the American dream of freedom and equality, to sell out all of us citizens, the elitist Alexander Hamilton went to global bankers to get a lot of the money. There were really no banks in America then. Then Hamilton writes about ‘corruption being necessary in government’ and established the 1st Bank of the United States to funnel money to members of Congress so they went along with the executive branch. The father of money in politics and the connection at the hip of our executive branch to Wall St. is our esteemed Alexander Hamilton.

 

The biggest problem bankrupting America then and now, money in politics was delivered by Alexander Hamilton. Anyone can refi a debt and never pay it off. Anyone can print more money making everything the Citizen has to pay for cost 30-60% more because with inflation your money is worth less: as in worthless! This was not ‘genius’. Hamilton gets far too much credit in American history. But oh he did keep busy! Until Thomas Jefferson’s VP (opposed to Federalism) shot him dead in a duel that started by Hamilton being a loud foul mouth like some current politicians. But the real reason for killing Hamilton white washed in our history? He was the busiest beaver in selling us all out. He trashed the American Ideals thousands died for.

 

Let’s Summarize 

George Washington griped ‘Congress is Paralyzed!’ in 1785, paralyzed for only 3 years, and takes matters into his own hands and invents runaway government with Hamilton. He then Overthrows the people’s government. Wow! Modern government and congress have been paralyzed for 40 years!!! So why do you think both Washington inaugural speeches ended with humility saying “Forgive me for mistakes I’ve made and make.” He knew what he did. Sold out all the people and put in soft authoritarian wealth class rule in America killing the real American Dream by institutionalizing a money in politics system to pull it off. He created the next English empire not the new America where everyone got a full American Dream. He destroyed that. He knew, and we know, because patriots like Patrick Henry and George Mason were screaming in 1788 that he sold out all the principals of the revolution that ALL the people fought and died for. That’s what Washington was apologizing for!

 

Here’s an interesting side note. I came to all this, after reading 200+ history books and my own analysis of history, about five years after I visited George Washington’s house and saw where he slept at Mount Vernon on the Potomac. While I don’t like or agree with what George Washington the politician did, we do share some personality traits. When we make up our minds to do something, we get it done. We can concentrate on one goal for years, decades: and never quit. I could have quit so many times on my 10 year journey to rediscover Shakespeare’s Undiscovered Country of the Real American Dream of Freedom and Liberty, for us all. To rediscover the Real American dream of Equality delivered by Thomas Jefferson in 1776 so we can ALL live it again. The real America Washington took away in 1789. And just like Jefferson, I saw his library, he read and thought for years also. And like Jefferson I’ve pondered the plight of the members of our society by casually taking interest and inquiring.  It took me years to understand the real issues clearly to craft the RTDNOW amendments to our current government to once again deliver the real COMPLETE American Dream of equality, local self rule and social, political and economic freedom, to every single American. And I want us all to transform America as quickly as old George and his boys did, almost overnight. In months all just by using the Internet Daily as you here the free access redemption song to tell everyone RTDNOW.COM. If you, 300 Million ordinary citizens decide to restore the real American Dream, just like that, it shall be done. Add your name at RTDNOW.COM, that’s how you decide.

 

So the above just covered who threw away the real American Dream, how they did it, and why. It also points out that we all need bring the real American Dream back to life again, this time the many, 300 Million As 1, at RTDNOW.COM, to rule over the few, as our Declaration of Independence directs us.

 

Now let’s touch on the CHOSEN part

which was covered in depth in my song Bonus Material for the Greatest Show on Earth. Briefly, any country on earth could have written the Declaration of Independence from human social, political and economic slavery and oppression. Oppression is when you don’t have physical chains as in slavery, you have mental and economic harnesses like everywhere in America today. So after millennia it was the new Americans who proclaimed that the few, the wealth class, had no rights anymore to rule over the many. Socially or economically. We chose self rule. With the Declaration that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL we changed the world from Master-Slave to a classless society of self determination. There were no political parties because they represent the few the wealth class. So yes, we Americans, through our better minds and best selves, were chosen to change the world. And we are all so very SPECIAL, because while all the people of the world wanted freedom and advancement, we were the only ones smart enough to figure it out, bold enough to demand it, and brave enough to fight to the death for it. That’s what makes all Americans so very special.

 

During the Revolutionary War 1/3 of all Americans were die hard Revolutionaries. 1/3 just wanted things to settle down either way; American or British rule. And 1/3 were loyalists for British rule. Loyalists were forced to leave by bullying like riding the horse. They’d tie loyalists that didn’t move (to Canada or England), to a wooden fence, straddled, and beat them. So to forge America it took 1 out of 3 people. This is why I keep saying we need 100 Million to 300 Million to sign RTDNOW.COM to end our 240 abandonment, to choose the real American dream, and by being as bold, and much more simply today, just adding your name online and telling everyone RTDNOW.COM 

 

That’s how we renew America overnight. That’s how we all matter again: every single citizens. And that’s how we all become so very special again, as we all restore the real American dream to every single American.

 

Like old George Back in 1785-1789. We all just decide to restore EVERYONES complete real American Dream, and today, by just adding our names at RTDNOW.COM, it shall be done.
