Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Stillbirth of a Nation: Caucasian Slavery in Plantation America: Part One (Paperback)

This is many ways is the nexus of James Lafond's 'Sage Stage' literary focus, an enhanced reprint of a long forgotten public domain memoir written by a person who experienced the literal birth of a new 'nation', one founded purely on financial grounds. The American nation supposedly founded on liberty and freedom was merely an economic enterprise in different zones, nominally based on religious affiliations but all sharing the common goal of pre industrial agricultural mercantilism. It is now as of 2016, explicitly returning to its roots.

The beauty of this is that LaFond is no leftist..that false and destructive world view originating from the same merchant/enlightenment ideals it supposedly rails against. Its efforts merely further eroding what is left of the true resistance against bourgeois modernity, a masculinity firmly linked to a transcendent order beyond the narrow definitions of religion or philosophy. The point of this book is not so much revision or rediscovery but more a way to understand both our true past which is directly linked to our future. An Anti-American critique for the benefit of more traditional Americans (in an Evolean sense of the word tradition..) not SJW idiocy.

The structure of this book is transcribed from the memoir of Peter Williamson, a kidnapped scottish indentured 'servant'(slave) in the mid 1700's. LaFond offer his own analysis of this fascinating and at times heartbreaking and horrific biography about the real nature of this so called Nation called the United states of America. There is also many addendum's to this period showing that the first slaves of this country were indeed whites, poor english youth and the old conquered celtic peoples of the british isles, the Welsh, Scots and everyone's punching bag, the Irish.

Working to the death in many cases and being an unarmed buffer between the Planters (who were Puritan, Catholic, Quaker or Anglican) and the aboriginal Indians, their hard lives illuminate not only America's true past but explains the matrix of our life in this Plantation Nation in the here and now. In fact the backdrop of the Indian war is the most exciting part of the memoir. Peter is a truly honorable man who recognizes the virtues and mistreatment of the Indians but who still does not excuse their barbaric treatment of english settlers (some of it so horrific you could see the whites would have no mercy once the tide turned) and actually fights them in both successful and not so successful actions. The American Indians were indeed a formidable foe, in many ways the true American character coming from having to deal with and be like them in battle in order to beat them at their own game. However the enemy of one was the enemy of the other.

The true tragedy is that these exploited white men, learning how to deal with this foe( who saw what this new order would bring to them) were still between 'two fires' as the materialist/economic order they were a victim of now used them to deal with the Indians who they previously had privileged over them. This is an important historical nuance that nearly no one understands, that this Mammon Monstrosity is adept at playing different groups against each other at times when one of them is waxing or waning. It is obvious now that white/european americans are now the Indians in the current dispensation, except they lack even the masculinity, honor or will to even fight their dispossession. At least most of them..

One of the highlights of the Book is a speech from an allied Indian leader exhorting the Quakers to be Men(!) and help them in protecting "The City of Brotherly Love" and the surrounding plantations. One forgets for every band of stalking Indian warriors, a village of precious women and children lay vulnerable.

Peter goes through hell and tragedy, later dying due to alcoholism in 1799 on the eve of the 19th century and you cannot blame the guy. He was taken from his parents by criminals in the employ of an Aberdeen, Scotland merchant. He lost his wife who he loved dearly (modern feminism says this is not possible), saw men tortured to death in horrible and malevolent ways (the modern feminine view of the Indians both dishonors/emasculates them and covers up their brutality..yet as Peter mentions, they were at least at war with an outside enemy..what was the excuse of the enslaving and exploiting Merchants, men who looked like him and professed belief in the same God!). However he takes on the institution of kidnapping and slavery later as he returned to Britain and despite being exiled, he still got a measure of justice in the end. Peter himself in his most darkest moments (his captivity in the hands of Indians must have been like living in hell) seeks strength and hope in a transcendent belief in the Lord himself, used by mercantile so called believers to justify their trade but giving strength to countless men and women of the lower classes, strewn about to suffer and bear the brunt of inequity.

The modern/leftist view is to discount religion because of the hypocrisy of the merchant class, yet how many others were able to fight on and bear the unbearable because of this transcendent belief? In the end this gave Peter and his fellow freed slaves the strength to avenge themselves on both their Indian tormentors (originally paid to keep them in line by men who looked like them) and to take on the so called christian men who kidnapped and sold children to a life of brutality and toil.

Peter's accounts of the rescue of Miss Long indeed show the masculinity of these men who were in-between slavery and being freed to fight the Indians is my favorite as were these men marching miles from one end of the Northeast corridor to the other. One forgets the many no mercy struggles to the death that occurred in the now rather quiet and bucolic scenery of Pennsylvania.

The later part of the book is Peter engaged in a legal battle to call out the Aberdeen Merchants who dealt in child slavery. The Depositions show what life was for lower class people in a region of Britain which had learned how to do business from their souther English conquerors. The anger one feels at reading about parents who never saw their beloved children again or worse, had contact with them but were unable to prevent their departure to the colonies due to legalities and hired thugs is then followed by the later chapters detailing the evolving institution of slavery, where now Africans are bought and used more as the freed white slaves have a new purpose. To fight and gain territory against the now weakening Indians. Later as we who can see all know, these slaves will then be used to chase off and terrorize the descendants of those same white slaves.

James Lafond's main thesis is that the inheritors of this plantation now managerial economic zone called the United states are now saying that

non elite white wage slaves, placated with a post WW2 material affluence and weakened from this dependence, were the slaveholders and oppressors when this was obviously not the case, a misdirection that continues the maintaining of power. In this sense StillBirth of a Nation is a once historical and current.

As always the only solution is masculinity, as Jim say the only quality that matters. Reignited in the conquered Celtic peoples who were thrown to

the mercy of stone age warriors for a fast buck we today can see this lesson, unobscured by sentimental liberal views of America or vile, Marxist/international banking material views rooted in the same enlightenment matrix as mercantilism.

In a sane and just world, James would be a tenured professor and an emeritus somewhere. But on the other hand, this world does not deserve to recognize his unique and quite relevant analysis...

Don't read this and despair, use it to help shape the future when this country falls apart as it must.
