The Deleted Wisdom Re-reading the 1776 Report That Terrified Them They deleted the 1776 Report (PDF) because it contained the antidote to their poison. Not predictions. Not warnings. Solutions. Forty-five pages that explain how American principles defeat progressive tyranny. Here's what they didn't want you to read. The Founding as Revolution Against Modern Politics The report opens with dynamite: "The founding of the United States of America was a deliberate act of statesmanship. Our founders considered human nature, history, and politics in order to establish a government of a particular kind." Not evolution. Not accident. Deliberate architecture. The founders studied every government in history. They identified why republics fail. Then they built something new: a system assuming corruption would come and designing against it. The report explains: "The foundation of our Republic planted the seeds of the death of slavery, contained the blueprint for its eventual abolition, and set in motion the events that would lead to its demise." This single sentence destroys the 1619 Project. America wasn't founded to preserve slavery but to create principles that would inevitably destroy it. The Equality Principle They Can't Allow Page 2 contains the sentence that changes everything: "The proposition that 'all men are created equal' must be properly understood. It does not mean all are equal in wisdom, courage, or talents. It means that human beings are equal in the sense that no one is by nature the ruler of another." The report distinguishes between equality (same rights) and equity (same outcomes). "To make men equal in wealth, intelligence, strength, or any other attribute requires unequal treatment by government. Such forcing of outcomes means treating people unequally. The opposite of equal justice under law." There it is. The philosophical knife through the heart of DEI. Of redistribution. Of identity politics. Equality means equal treatment. Equity requires unequal treatment. They're opposites, not synonyms. The Progressive Admission The report doesn't speculate about progressive intentions. It quotes them: "Progressivism openly rejects the fundamental principles of the American founding. Woodrow Wilson, our first Progressive president, criticized the Declaration and Constitution as obsolete." Wilson's own words: " The Declaration of Independence did not mention the questions of our day. It is of no consequence to us." John Dewey, father of progressive education: "Natural rights and natural liberties exist only in the kingdom of mythological social zoology." They announced their coup against the founding. The report simply documented their confessions. "Progressivism sought to replace limited government with the unlimited rule of experts. The administrative state—agencies making rules, enforcing them, and adjudicating violations—violates the Constitution's separation of powers." Not interpretation. Not opinion. Historical fact with citations. The Identity Politics Dissection Page 15 performs surgery: "Identity politics divides Americans by placing them into different groups organized around race, gender, and other categories. Some groups are considered oppressed and others oppressors. This ideology claims that America itself is 'systemically' or 'structurally' racist." Then the philosophical destruction: "By rejecting the fundamental truth of the Declaration that all men are created equal, identity politics threatens to divide Americans into hostile factions without shared values. The American founders insisted on the unity of a diverse people through shared principles, not ethnic or racial solidarity." The report shows how King's dream (judging by character not color) flows directly from the Declaration. Identity politics reverses this, making race primary and character irrelevant. "Identity politics makes racial reconciliation impossible by insisting that racial categories permanently define Americans." The Religious Foundation of Rights Appendix II contains what progressives fear most: "An astonishing number of provisions of our law are rooted in religious teaching. The very idea of human dignity depends on the theological claim that humans are made in the image of God." Not establishing religion. Acknowledging historical fact. "Both natural reason and biblical revelation teach that human beings are equal in dignity. Take away God, and you take away human equality. Rights then become mere power assertions by the strong over the weak." The report documents how the founders, including Jefferson the deist, understood rights required transcendent grounding: "Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?" Without Creator, no creation. Without creation, no equality. Without equality, only power. The Constitutional Medicine Pages 6-9 aren't history lessons. They're emergency medical instructions: "Separation of powers prevents any one part of government from accumulating all power. When progressives couldn't pass their agenda through Congress, they created agencies combining all three powers." The cure? Return to the Constitution's structure. No agency should make law, enforce it, and judge violations. "Federalism ensures states can resist federal tyranny. When the federal government exceeds its enumerated powers, states must assert their sovereignty." Cure here? Restore the Tenth Amendment. Powers not delegated to the federal government belong to states or the people. "The Bill of Rights protects pre-existing natural rights. These rights don't come from government and can't be taken by government." Cure? Stop treating rights as permissions. They're boundaries government cannot cross. The Education Prescription The report's most practical section: "Education in America must teach students to love their country. Not uncritical acceptance but informed appreciation. Students should learn what makes America exceptional—not perfect, but exceptional." Specific curriculum requirements: Teach founding documents in full, not excerpts Study Federalist Papers alongside Constitution Learn actual history, not "narratives" Read primary sources, not interpretations Understand American principles before criticizing them Because students who understand American principles can improve America. Students taught only America's failures can only destroy. The Task of National Renewal The report's final section isn't lamentation but battle plan: "Teaching America means teaching the principles that unite us: equality, liberty, justice, the rule of law, respect for human dignity. These principles transcend race, ethnicity, and religion." Then specific actions: Parents must reclaim education from ideologues. Citizens must understand the Constitution to defend it. States must resist unconstitutional federal overreach. Americans must reject group identity for American identity. The report concludes: "Freedom is fragile. Each generation must defend it anew." Why Deletion Was Mandatory The 1776 Report provided: Philosophical framework defeating progressivism Historical proof America's founding was anti-slavery Constitutional blueprint for resisting tyranny Educational curriculum producing patriots not activists Unity formula transcending identity politics Forty-five pages of intellectual ammunition. Clear enough for any citizen. Documented enough for any debate. They deleted it because it works. The Living Document The 1776 Report exists everywhere and nowhere. Deleted from official servers. Living on millions of drives. Read it again yourself. Every page contains weapons they don't want you to have. The report's essence: America's founding principles aren't the problem. They're the solution. Apply them to modern tyranny. Watch tyranny crumble. That's what they fear most—citizens who understand their own system.

Very interesting article, Stone...I had never heard of the "1776 Report." Regards...MUD "NOW...Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan!!"
https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/The-Presidents-Advisory-1776-Commission-Final-Report.pdf The President’s Advisory 1776 Commission - - - - - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1776_Commission The 1776 Commission, also nicknamed the 1776 Project,[1][2] is an advisory committee established in September 2020 by then-U.S. President Donald Trump to support what he called "patriotic education".[3] The commission released The 1776 Report on January 18, 2021, two days before the end of Trump's term of office.[4] Historians overwhelmingly criticized the report, saying it was "filled with errors and partisan politics".[3][5] The commission was terminated by the successive President Joe Biden on January 20, 2021, his first day in office.[6][7][8] It was re-established by Trump in January 2025.[9] [...] The 1776 Report Contents The commission released the 41-page "The 1776 Report" on January 18, 2021, two days before the end of Trump's term and the inauguration of Joe Biden.[29] The report does not include citations or footnotes, and does not identify its main authors.[3] About half the pages in the report were appendices.[31] Among other things, the document identifies "progressivism" and "racism and identity politics" as "challenges to America's principles" and likens them to "communism," "slavery," and "fascism." It refers to the pro-slavery U.S. politician and former U.S. vice president John C. Calhoun as "the leading forerunner of identity politics" and criticizes some aspects of the civil rights movement.[5][32][33] The document also describes American universities as "often today [...] hotbeds of anti-Americanism, libel, and censorship" and criticizes feminist movements.[33] It concludes with recommendations to promote positive stories and images of the country's founders at home, in schools, and in the arts, among other things.[32][34] Historians condemned the report, saying it was "filled with errors and partisan politics",[3][5] factual inaccuracies, a lack of scholarship, and use of prior work without attribution.[35] The American Historical Association (AHA), in a statement cosigned by 33 other historical societies, stated that the report was completed "without any consultation with professional historians of the United States".[36] On January 19, 2021, the Association of University Presses released a statement: "While we leave it to historians to offer a detailed rebuttal of the document's inaccuracies – if any should choose to do so – we note that it is plagued by procedural deficiencies that would render it unpublishable as a serious work of scholarship."[37] James Grossman, the executive director of the AHA, criticized Trump's push for so-called "patriotic education", writing that genuinely patriotic history is a rigorous effort to study the past honestly and acknowledge complexity, rather than "cheerleading", "nationalist propaganda", or "simplistic and inaccurate narrative of unique virtue and perpetual progress".[38] Grossman described the 1776 Commission's report as "a hack job" that was "not a work of history" but of "cynical politics".[5] Grossman said, "This report skillfully weaves together myths, distortions, deliberate silences, and both blatant and subtle misreading of evidence to create a narrative and an argument that few respectable professional historians, even across a wide interpretive spectrum, would consider plausible, never mind convincing."[3] Historian Timothy Messer-Kruse likened the content of the report to "every moldy trope of 1950s fifth-grade civics books" and wrote that it misrepresented the beliefs of founding father John Jay as expressed in Federalist No. 2.[39] Historian Eric Rauchway criticized the report for misreading John Winthrop's "City upon a Hill" speech and for the report's claims regarding the civil rights movement. Historian Alexis Coe, a biographer of George Washington, said the report was riddled with "errors, distortions, and outright lies" and mischaracterized Washington's involvement with slavery. Kevin M. Kruse and other historians criticized the report for suggesting that Martin Luther King Jr. would have opposed affirmative action, noting that King in fact endorsed affirmative action during his life.[5][40] Even historians who were critical of the 1619 Project, such as Sean Wilentz of Princeton University, criticized the report of the 1776 Commission. Wilentz described the report as "the flip side of those polemics" and "basically a political document" that "reduces history to hero worship".[5] Historians also noted that portions of the report had been copied without attribution from earlier writings by its authors, including a 2008 op-ed by Thomas Lindsay published in Inside Higher Ed and a 2002 Heritage Foundation essay and Intercollegiate Studies Institute essay by Matthew Spalding, the commission's executive director.[35] Commentator Eugene Scott criticized the commission's report for suggesting "that identity politics is something unique to those outside of the Trump administration"; Scott writes that Trump's rhetoric and Trumpism "has been rooted in identity politics": specifically, a prioritization of demographic groups that are "largely White, Christian and appealing to traditional gender norms".[41] Writing for Slate, Rebecca Onion described the report as "a screed forwarded by a Fox-poisoned aunt, one that might best be politely ignored" and noted historian Diana Butler Bass's fear that the report was "'a huge gift' to white evangelical Trump supporters, who have long taught this vision of history to children who are enrolled in Christian schools or home-schooled."[42] Jeff Sharlet of Vanity Fair compared the report's section on identity politics to Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik's justification for the 2011 Norway attacks in his manifesto 2083: A European Declaration of Independence.[43] [...] Termination and reinstatement On January 20, 2021, hours after he was inaugurated as Trump's successor, President Joe Biden issued an executive order dissolving the 1776 Commission.[46] The report was removed from the White House website,[47] although the National Archives and Records Administration archived the report, along with the entire Trump White House website.[48] [...]
A golden age.
50s - September 4, 1957, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus deployed the Arkansas National Guard to oppose school integration. Prresident Eisenhower deployed the 101st Airborne to Little Rock to enforce school integration. 60s - And the 60s soldiered on. No decade compares. Cuban Missile Crisis 1962, the assassinations of JFK, RFK, MLK, and Malcolm X. Flower Power October 21, 1967, Democratic convention 1968, Woodstock 1969, Vietnam, the draft, moon landing 1969. March 7, 1965, civil rights marchers attempting to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma were attacked by state troopers. President Johnson seized control of the Alabama National Guard and suppplemented them with federal troops. In other 60s non-news you may never have seen: On 8 March 1968, K-129, a Soviet Golf II-class submarine, sank northwest of Oahu. The Soviets could not find it. The Americans, with Howard Hughes and the Glomar Explorer did, and secretly retrieved the bodies of the crew and other stuff from the depths. On 17 March 1968, the American submarine USS Swordfish put into Yokosuka, Japan, for emergency repairs to a bent periscope. USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was lost May 22, 1968. Also: The Minerve, a French submarine, disappeared in January 1968 while on a routine patrol in the Mediterranean Sea. The Israeli submarine Dakar went missing in January 1968 while traveling from the UK to Israel. It was expected to arrive by February 2 but never did. It was quite a year for submarines.
