**Searching for Lincoln

**Searching for Lincoln (2015) cannot be praised too highly.  It is a compendium of suppressed truth that the world has long been waiting for, skillfully produced and perfectly on target.   It takes as its mission the correction of the multiple falsehoods of “what everybody knows” about Honest Abe and his role in history. There is a temperate, pictorial, and hard-hitting review of the real as opposed to the fantasy Lincoln in such matters as race, slavery, the Constitution, economic motives, war on civilians, POWs, and much else.   Perhaps the greatest points of emphasis are two neglected truths:

1) Lincoln did not wage war to save the Union or the Constitution.  He waged war to preserve government power.   2) He is responsible for the dangerously unlimited regime under which we suffer today.  Until Americans understand that and free themselves from Lincoln worship we will continue in subjection.

  1. You know, this slimy terrorist was elected by the Electoral
    College and not the popular vote.

  2. Lincoln was almost certainly a sexual deviant. Rumors persist of dalliances between Lincoln and Marine guards in the White House. These charges are unproven but others are more certain. In his book, The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln, historian Michael Burlingame describes Lincoln’s homosexuality and the sadomasochistic marital relationship with his wife. In his 1926 book, Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years, Carl Sandburg, hardly a lightweight source, described Lincoln and merchant Joshua Speed as having “a streak of lavender and spots soft as May violets.”
    He was schizophrenic and wanted to destroy the White race.

    1. He got his just deserts although killing him only made the government worst.
