In recent years, there has been a dangerous trend in America: the distortion and revision of history to fit modern ideologies. One of the most egregious examples is the glorification of Native American tribes as "noble savages" and the vilification of the early American settlers, especially the Founding Fathers. This revisionist narrative does not only misrepresent the past; it undermines the very essence of what made America great.
As an Iranian-American, an ex-Muslim, and a conservative Christian, I have had the opportunity to reflect on the true origins of the United States, and I firmly believe that we should be thanking the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) Freemason Founders of America in 1776 for creating the framework of liberty and prosperity we enjoy today. This article is a call to recognize the greatness of America’s true founders, the sacrifices they made, and the civilization they built, despite the challenges and complexities of the time.
The Role of the WASP Freemason Founders in Shaping America
The Founding Fathers of America were, for the most part, deeply influenced by Freemasonry, a movement that valued principles such as individual liberty, equality, and fraternity. It is no coincidence that many of them were Freemasons. These men—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and others—were instrumental in establishing a nation based on self-governance, the rule of law, and the protection of individual rights. Without their wisdom and commitment to the ideals of freedom, we would not have the strong, thriving republic that we have today.
In addition to their Masonic principles, these founders were largely of Anglo-Saxon Protestant stock, a group whose values shaped the nation’s political and social fabric. The idea of hard work, personal responsibility, and respect for the rule of law was ingrained in their worldview. They established a government that, despite its flaws, has been a beacon of freedom and opportunity for millions around the world.
Historical Revisionism: The "Noble Savage" Myth
In contrast to the accomplishments of the early settlers, historical revisionism has painted a romanticized picture of Native American life, often referring to pre-colonial Native societies as "noble savages." This term, popularized in the 18th century by figures like Jean-Jacques Rousseau, implies that Native Americans were living in a harmonious and peaceful existence before European colonization. This view, however, is a dangerous oversimplification of history.
In reality, many Native American tribes engaged in brutal warfare, practiced slavery, and took scalps as trophies of their victories. The myth of the "noble savage" ignores the complexities of Native American societies, and it distorts the history of violence that occurred long before European settlers arrived. In fact, the idea that Native Americans were a peaceful, utopian people is nothing short of revisionist fantasy.
Furthermore, this view downplays the achievements of early American settlers—particularly the frontier pioneers who built this country from the ground up. Cowboys, settlers, and ranchers played a crucial role in shaping the nation’s identity. The rugged individualism, hard work, and resilience of the American cowboy are the true symbols of what made America great. It was these men, not the indigenous tribes, who laid the foundation for the prosperity that we enjoy today.
Cowboys Made America, Not the Indians
The contribution of the Native American tribes to the early development of the United States cannot be denied. However, it is important to recognize that the lasting success of the nation did not come from the indigenous cultures but from the settlers who brought with them the tools of civilization: law, agriculture, industry, and education. The cowboy, the rancher, the farmer—these were the true builders of America.
Without the work of these pioneers, the land that the Native Americans inhabited would have remained largely undeveloped and, in many cases, hostile. The settlers tamed the land, established towns and cities, and built a country that eventually became the most powerful and prosperous in the world. The idea that the Native American way of life was inherently superior to the European settlers’ system is not only historically inaccurate, but it also does a disservice to the sacrifices made by the founders and pioneers who made this country great.
A Call for Realism and Patriotism
As an Iranian-American, I have witnessed firsthand the consequences of rejecting historical truths and embracing ideological fantasies. My own journey has been one of rejecting the lies of Islam, socialism, and revisionist history. I came to understand that only by facing reality, no matter how uncomfortable, can we truly honor those who made sacrifices for our freedoms.
It is essential for us, as a nation, to recognize the contributions of the Founding Fathers and the pioneers who built this great country. We should not allow the forces of historical revisionism to erase the truth. Cowboys, not Indians, made America what it is today. The hard work, perseverance, and sacrifice of the settlers, combined with the wisdom of the Freemason Founders, created a civilization that stands as a beacon of liberty and opportunity for the world.
We should thank the WASP Freemason founders of America in 1776, not romanticize the past in a way that diminishes the achievements of those who laid the groundwork for the greatest nation on earth. We owe our freedom, prosperity, and way of life to them.
