JULY 4th...The Year 14,000 B.C. & More on the Declaration

[Guest guest]

July 4th needs no promotion from among the astrological community; but nevertheless the two links provided here are from a larger work that reviews among many many related things, the Egyptian roots of the cosmic significance of the fourth day in July. Since the ideological roots of Freemasonry furrow all the way back to ancient Egypt, one may find something of interest for the effort in reading. For those who wish to cut to the chase of the July 4th connection, go to the 2nd link and scroll down most of the

way:

NOW, ONE MORE LOOK: TO DISPELL SOME OF THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

 

The eminent 19th century historian and diplomat, George Bancroft,among his many works, wrote a solid history: THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION: 1774-1782 (in four volumes).

 

On the final page of Volume III (1866), page 475, last paragraph >> QUOTE> "The Declaration was not signed by the members of congress on theday that it was agreed, but it was duly authenticated by the presidentand secretary and published to the world. The nation, when it made thechoice of a day for its great anniversary, selected not the day of theresolution of independence, when it closed the past, but that of theDeclaration of the principles on which it opened its new career."> UNQUOTE

 

This quotation is just short of perfect. If Bancroft had only added my suggested fragment to the following line therein (cited here again) from the above paragraph: “duly authenticated by the president and secretary and published to the world”………I now add: ON FRIDAY, JULY 5TH 1776; If Bancroft had only added this truthful fragment as well, just perhaps the mythology of the 4th of July would have been greatly diminished, if not totally eliminated by students and scholars, who during the 20th century might, as well, have worked out the crucial difference between an autographical signature and a parliamentary stamp, which is precisely the difference one discovers by studying the “JOHN HANCOCK” on the Dunlap Broadside’s A DECLARATION, published on Friday July 5th, 1776 and thereby noting the contrast of the simple printed name

there with the duly autographed signature of Hancock on THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION published after the ceremonial signing by the members of Congress on August 2nd 1776. Got the idea yet? The authenticated copy of THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION of August 2nd was “”deceptively”” placed in the pages of the July 4th entry of the published Journals of the Continental Congress.

Yes, dear reader, the published Journal for July 4th is very much that misleading. Read it for yourself here; try not to weep!

 

Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774-1789THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1776

Page 510

Agreeable to the order of the day, the Congress resolved itself into a committee of the whole, to take into their farther consideration, the declaration; ¶and, after some time, & par; the president resumed the chair. Mr. [benjamin] Harrison reported, that the committee of the whole Congress have agreed to a Declaration, which he delivered in.

The Declaration being again read, was agreed to as follows:

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America.

COMMENT:

Line 4 reads: “…agreed to a Declaration”….obviously, the original Rough Journal was referring to the title of the Dunlap Broadside published on July 5th and entitled: “A DECLARATION”.

Whereas Line 5 reads: “…The Unanimous Declaration” which titled document did not exist until August 2nd, 1776, when John Hancock affixed his now justly famous autographical signature, larger-than-any-other-Signer’s, to the parchment now on display in the Library of Congress..

NOW YOU CAN PERHAPS BEGIN TO APPRECIATE MY ANTIPATHY FOR THE CONFUSIONS AND MYTHOLOGIES PROMULGATED BY MOST HISTORIANS ON THIS HISTORIC AND MOMENTOUS EVENT.

Best wishes, John
