Happy July 4th and the men who signed The Declaration of Independence

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Back in 1776, 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence.

The Declaration is forever known for this:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The signers understood the risk in putting their name on this document. This is how they concluded the declaration:
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”

This is a list of the men who signed the document. Let’s remember them today:

      Just proves a secret society of slave owners the Freemason formed in 1711 out of republican supporting nobles of the 1688 revolution really had a different concept of government, they were into Empire – Monarchs were at that time bank puppets of the City of London cartel. Both sides were run and financed by the corporations, the independence movement was a long time in the making but was kick started in 1756 by the colonial militias attacking French forts to spark off a war, and what a war the 7 years war was, the ensuing debts incurred with gold lenders meant the Uk demanded the US pay its share, and the plantation owning gentry said no therefore formed the sons of liberty the worlds first terrorist organisation to create the insurrection required to manufacture a revolt.

      The revolution and the 7 years war bankrupted the US, France Spain but not Britain which was well into the industrial revolution, collapsing the real empires and tyrannies, threw social and political progress back for 50+ years and led to widespread wars for over a century worldwide which would never have happened which we will also include the Russian revolution which could not have taken place without US zionist funding. All to not pay a fairly minor income tax compared to today. You already had representative government, the Colonies were self governing. Paying to London was not so much different to DC.
