Honor, Justice and Love for our Country,
never to become Slaves,
and to defend our Freedom with our Lives and Fortunes."
- Palatine Committee of Safety, Sunday May 21, 1775 at the house of Phillip W. Fox
Back yonder my dad told me a story about working on Alpha Christman's farm when he was a boy; the old Holstry Inn property. They still farmed with horses and wagons in those days. And then, one day, a salesman came by with a new machine called a Tractor. Alpha said, "If that thing can make it up that hill I'll buy two of them." Well, it made it up the steep hill behind the house. So Alpha bought two Tractors and paid him with the wad of cash he always carried in his pocket. Wouldn't you like to be able to buy two tractors with the wad of cash in your pocket? Think about that.
On November 15, 1899 Alexander Christman deeded his water rights on the Caroga Creek and was paid $50. The Ephratah Power Dam, approximately 50 feet high, was constructed in Jenk's Hollow between 1909 and 1910, with a pipeline to the Power House built in 1910 .... When the pipeline was built, Adam Swartz and son, Harold, were teamsters, Stubby Sitterly was a rigger in charge of the dragline when the caroga Dam was built. Alex Christman was a water boy at $1.00 per day. Alex's father, John, had two teams of oxen and a team of horses. He cut off timber for the overflow. - Town of Ephratah, Vol II, EPHRATAH MAPS
There are several videos in the following playlist.
By 1730 Jacob Christman, the second son of Johannes & Anna Gertraud, was 24 years old. He did not get married until 1738 (See the links in the sidebar about the Christman Indians). He was hunting with Conrad Weiser's brother-in-law in 1736 and he was making some money by hunting in 1737, and I think he was renting from the Indians at Canajoharie and made his living by hunting and doing odd jobs. One of those odd jobs may have been helping to straighten out the "Neck" in the river. Here is a link to read about it:
I have traded off our cow. She dried up entirely so I traded her off and give five dollars to boot. I think I have got a good cow I guess. Pap will stay here. William Little has sold and is to move off this spring. Hiram Little has catched no foxes this winter. Millard was to your fathers last Monday. They was all well there. The snow is all gone here now but the banks. We have had a heavy thaw here so that it took off the bridge by the old black smith shop, took off the river bridge at Fonda, and the bridge at Amsterdam over the river; took three or four canal boats out of the canal at Sprakers Basin. We think you have got the Rebels in close quarters. If you can only hold them to it and make them howl. It is colder here now. Some snow last night but it has all gone now but is a cold wind. No more at present. Write as often as you can and I will answer. - Harriet Christman to James, March 23, 1865
O sweet is the vale where the Mohawk gently glides
On its clear winding way to the sea;
And dearer than all storied streams on earth besides
Is this bright rolling river to me.
Watch the next two videos and check out the difference between FDR and Obama's way to pull America out of economic hard times. Notice that there are no banker bailouts in the next two videos. FDR invested in the American people through enterprises that brought actual value to the nation for the benefit of future generations. Part 2 says there were over 120,000 projects. This is the method today.
Working on the Canajoharie Pipeline
Two videos. The first talks about the sound principles of foreign trade that we once had. The second video shows what America has become since NAFTA in only 14 years under the historic British system of Free Trade and Monetarism that's designed to empower the elite and enslave everybody else.
Two videos. One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world. - Henry C Carey; The Harmony of Interests (1868)

The 19th century railroad system was one of the most important turning points in human history. For the first time a continent could be developed internally to build a nation. In only 50 years America became more powerful than the British Empire. Germany and Russia soon followed. It threatened to completely destroy the British Empire and it's system of Free Trade, and they have conspired to destroy our industrial might ever since. Going Green is not the way to go. We need science driven projects and long range goals powered by new generation nuclear energy, mag-lev trains, and improved infra-structure, etc.; and a return to American System economic principles. The way we are going now is ridiculous.
In June 1862, Eli Christman was killed while driving a horse and wagon load of lumber over the railroad bridge in Fort Plain. The horse became frightened by a passing train and bolted, upsetting the wagon and crushing him under the lumber. - Town of Ephratah; vol II
When America has finally lost it's manufacturing capability because of Free Trade we are finished, and then, we will have finally been enslaved to neo-feudalism and be nothing more than a third world nation. Is that what you want?
How the Baby Boomers were suckered by "Cultural" Marxism
The entire generation became the substitute for the "Working Class"
Keep in mind as you watch the next video that Cultural Marxism was the merger of Siegmund Freud & Karl Marx. You can also throw in Freud's American cousin Edward Bernays. Watch The Century of the Self. Listen to what the Soviet agent says at the end of the playlist. He was "surprised" at how far down the Marxist trail the Baby Boomers already were by 1985.
The New World Order is Communism
The Soviet agent in the playlist about Political Correctness said that the process of Ideological Subversion is complete when you have allowed the schmucks to bring the country to crisis by:
1. Destabilizing the economy
2. Eliminating the principle of free market competition
3. Installing a Big-Brother government in Washington DC
Isn't that exactly what the Bush Administration's Neoconservatives did for Obama to expand upon with his Behaviorists?
“It is the sacred principles enshrined in the United Nations charter
to which the American people will henceforth pledge their allegiance.”
George H.W. Bush addressing the General Assembly of the U.N, February 1, 1992
Free Trade is designed to tear down, enslave and loot nations to empower the empire and it's oligarchy. Just consider what NAFTA has done to us in 15 years. The American system was designed to build up nations and increase the standard of living of a nation's people. The next video explains the difference in detail.
Watch the following two videos about how returning to "American System" Economics could completely transform the continents of Africa and North America.
LPACTV: The Future of the Americas
If the current economic system crashes, what would we replace it with - more of the same? Do you understand the difference between a Monetary system and a Credit system? The next video will help you understand.
Land of the Free & Home of the Brave?
This Is Your Country
NAFTA was implemented on Jan 1, 1994.
Free Trade, The Confederacy and the Political Economy of Slavery
The Southern Strategy: Assault on the American Republic
In only 15 years British "Free Trade" has destroyed our economy. Watch the following videos to see how it got that way historically.

The following selection is from the conclusion of Henry Carey's The Harmony of Interests: Agricultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial, first published in 1851, and reprinted by Augustus M. Kelley, New York, 1967.
Two systems are before the world;
One looks to increasing the proportion of persons and of capital engaged in trade and transportation, and therefore to diminishing the proportion engaged in producing commodities with which to trade, with necessarily diminished return to the labour of all; while the other looks to increasing the proportion engaged in the work of production, and diminishing that engaged in trade and transportation, with increased return to all, giving the labourer good wages, and to the owner of capital good profits.
One looks to increasing the quantity of raw materials to be exported, and diminishing the inducements to imports of men, thus impoverishing both farmer and planter by throwing on them the burden of freight; while the other looks to increasing the import of men, and diminishing the export of raw materials, thereby enriching both planter and farmer by relieving them from payment of freight.
One looks to giving the products of millions of acres of land and of the labour of millions of men for the services of hundreds of thousands of distant men; the other to bringing the distant men to consume on the land the products of the land, exchanging day's labour for day's labour.
One looks to compelling the farmers and planters of the Union to continue their contributions for the support of the fleets and the armies, the paupers, the nobles, and the sovereigns of Europe; the other to enabling ourselves to apply the same means to the moral and intellectual improvement of the sovereigns of America.
One looks to the continuance of that bastard freedom of trade which denies the principle of protection, yet doles it out as revenue duties; the other by extending the area of legitimate free trade by the establishment of perfect protection, followed by the annexation of individuals and communities, and ultimately by the abolition of customs-houses.
One looks to exporting men to occupy desert tracts, the sovereignty of which is obtained by aid of diplomacy or war; the other to increasing the value of an immense extent of vacant land by importing men by millions for their occupation.
One looks to the centralization of wealth and power in a great commercial city that shall rival the great cities of modern times, which have been and are being supported by aid of contributions which have exhausted every nation subjected to them; the other to concentration, by aid of which a market shall be made upon the land for the products of the land, and the farmer and planter be enriched.
One looks to increasing the necessity of commerce; the other to increasing the power to maintain it.
One looks to underworking the Hindoo, and sinking the rest of the world to his level; the other to raising the standard of man throughout the world to our level.
One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization.
One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace.
One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.
Such is the true mission of the people of these United States. To them has been granted a privilege never before granted to man, that of the exercise of the right of perfect self-government; but, as rights and duties are inseparable, with the grant of the former came the obligation to perform the latter. Happily their performance is pleasant and profitable, and involves no sacrifice.
To raise the value of labour throughout the world, we need only to raise the value of our own. To raise the value of land throughout the world, it is needed only that we adopt measures that shall raise the value of our own.
To diffuse intelligence and to promote the cause of morality throughout the world, we are required only to pursue the course that shall diffuse education throughout our own land, and shall enable every man more readily to acquire property, and with it respect for the rights of property.
To improve the political condition of man throughout the world, it is needed that we ourselves should remain at peace, avoid taxation for the maintenance of fleets and armies, and become rich and prosperous.
To raise the condition of women throughout the world, it is required of us only that we pursue that course that enables men to remain at home and marry, that they may surround themselves with happy children and grand-children.
To substitute true Christianity for the detestable system known as the Malthusian, it is needed that we prove to the world that it is population that makes the food come from the rich soils, and that food tends to increase more rapidly than population, vindicating the policy of God to man.
Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to public opinion. This is the weak point of our defences, and the part to which the enemies of the system will direct all their attacks. Opinion can be so perverted as to cause the false to seem true; the enemy, a friend, and the friend, an enemy; the best interests of the nation to appear insignificant, and trifles of moment; in a word, the right the wrong, and the wrong the right. In a country where opinion has sway, to seize upon it, is to seize upon power. As it is a rule of humanity that the upright and well-intentioned are comparatively passive, while the designing, dishonest and selfish are the most untiring in their efforts, the danger of public opinion’s getting a false direction is four-fold, since few men think for themselves.
— James Fenimore Cooper,
The American Democrat, 1838
Behold, he comes,
Leaping upon the mountains
Bounding over the hills.
My beloved is like a gazelle,
Or a young stag.
Behold, there he stands
Behind our wall,
Gazing in at the windows,
Looking through the lattice.
My beloved speaks and says to me;
“Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away;
for lo, the winter is past,
the rain is gone.
The flowers appear on the earth,
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove, is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth its figs,
And the vines are in blossom;
They give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one
And come away.
O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the covert of the cliff,
Let me see your face,
Let me hear your voice,
For your voice is sweet,
And your face is comely.
Catch the foxes,
The little foxes,
That spoil the vineyards,
For our vinyards are in blossom.
My beloved is mine and I am his,
He pastures his flock among the lillies.
Song of Solomon 2:8-16
