JOHN HANSON UPDATE
This week a visitor to the "Historical Secrets" Phorum
http://www.thehollowearthinsider.com/news/phorum/read.php?f=4&i=116&t=116
Challenged me on my article on John Hanson. the real First President of the United States. While writing out a reply to his post I realized it had been a long time since I had researched and written that report. I had new information. That along with the other information included in my reply made me realize that it would make a good report for the Insider.

RESPONSE TO "HISTORY IN PERSPECTIVE."

>>> Hi, I'm new here. Just wanted to say that Hanson being first "president" is no big secret. This is from the text book "American Government Continuity and Change" (2004 edition O'conner, Karen and Sabato. Larry). This is from page 43:
"Fearful of a chief executive who would rule tyrannically, moreover, the draftees of the Articles had made no provision for an executive branch of government that would be responsible for executing, or implementing, laws passed by the legislative branch. Instead, the "president" was merely the presiding officer at the meetings. John Hanson, a former member of the Maryland House of Delegates and of the First Continental Congress, was the first person to preside over the Congress of the Confederation. Therefore, he is often referred to as the first president of the United States."
And so, as far as the title "president" goes, Hanson was technically the first, but the title "president" that he took then was not the same as the title "president" that Washington took later on. Therefore, the two titles of President Hanson and President Washington, mean two different things.
>>> As for saying Ford should therefore not be considered president, as Hanson was not because he "wasn't voted in by the people", since he too was not directly elected president by the people, I have to say that this is different indeed. When running for office, Nixon ran with Ford, therefore, when the people voted, they were voting for both Nixon and Ford, who ran as different titles on the same ticket, but it is understood, and stated in the Constitution, that should the president die or be impeached, the vice president takes office. So, in fact, Ford was voted in by the people. <<<
Lets break down Mike's statements into sections where we can address each issue separately.
Mike said:

In the true sense of the word he is right. I agree that it is no real secret about Hanson. After all if it were really a secret how would he and I know about it?
But, go to your local mall and start telling people you're taking a survey. Then ask them if they know who John Hanson is. A few will tell you Hanson is a rock band, but most will look at you real stupid and admit they don't know. Don't tell me this isn't true, I've done it. Open any government controlled high school American history book and look up the First President of the united States and there you will find the name George Washington.
Mike states:

Mike, you can make excuses for why the contribution to the forming of our country by John Hanson is not taught about in the government controlled school system all till your blue in the face, but that doesn't change the fact that John Hanson WAS the first President. Is it a secret? Of, course not. I realize that with a little research anyone can find that fact out, but the average person does not research history. Instead they accept whatever they have been taught in the government education system as unquestionable fact then go out and spend their lives making a living, raising a family and doing fun things. In that regards the fact that John Hanson was the true first President of the united States is a "secret." In other words while it is not a secret, it is a "secret." See the difference?
A "secret" does not necessarily mean that "no one" knows it. It can also mean that "only a few" know the facts.
For instance with a little research you will find that during Papa Bush's stunt as head of the CIA massive amounts of drugs were being smuggled into the United States through a back door the military-intelligence people created. The drug dealers were flying the drugs from Columbia to Panama landing strips in private planes. There, under the watchful eye of Bush's highest paid Latin American operative of the all time, Manuel Noriega, the drugs were switched to CIA aircraft. From there they were flown under the radar through purposely made "holes" into the United States, landing at a little town called Mena located in Governor Bill Clinton's Arkansas. From there the dope was distributed across the USA. This is really no secret. You'd don't even have to do much digging to find this information. But most American's only take time to absorb what they are fed through the controlled media. The government education system has been very successful in dummy down a generation.

Here's another "secret" that isn't a secret. With a little research anyone can find that every presidential candidate in both of the major parties since the Kennedy assassination except Johnson have had major, major connections to one American elitist family. The information is available to those who look, but how many know that? They don't teach this stuff in the government schools. It's a "secret."
And finally. How many Americans realize the fact that both Bush and Kerry are members of the Yale Secret Society know as Skull & Bones whose stated goal is the formation of a One World Government. How many realize the implications? Once again, research will prove me out, but go ahead, ask around. Most people don't know this. Hell, they don't even know what Skull & Bones is. If asked most would probably guess it was a Hard Rock group.
Using these examples, do you now understand why I call this stuff "secret?" Not secrets, but "secrets."

Sorry Mike. On this one you are completely wrong.
Ford was not elected by anyone for either President or Vice President. Nixon's elected Vice President was Spiro T. Agnew. In August of 1973 U.S. Attorneys in Baltimore revealed that Agnew was being investigated for taking bribes. On October 10, 1973, El Spearo resigned as Vice President of the United States. One crook gone, one to go.
For the "rest of the story" we'll look at a well respected biography of "The American Presidents" by David C. Whitney © 1975 by Nelson Doubleday, Inc:
"Two days after Agnew's resignation, President Nixon used the twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution for the first time to nominate a new Vice President: Gerald R. Ford, a Republican congressman from Michigan who had been minority leader of the house of representatives since 1965."
"Both houses of Congress held lengthy televised hearings dealing with Ford's background before confirming the nomination. Finally, Ford was sworn in as the nation's fortieth Vice President on December 6, 1973." (Page 377-378).
He was nominated by Nixon and confirmed by Congress. He was not elected by anyone. Period.
[I think it should be noted that prior to Ford's being given the position as the Republican's Leader in the house, he had been Chief Council for the Warren Commission. His was the face that stood up in front of the TV cameras and, with a straight face, told all of America and that Oswald had acted alone. That President Kennedy had been killed by a lone nut... hum, wonder how he was paid off by the real powers-that-be for telling that whopper?]
Let's put it this way, lack-luster Ford would never have been elected President. The only way for him to get there was by being appointed by our crooked President of the time Richard Nixon. So if "being voted in by the people" is to be the yardstick used by high school American History teachers to qualify a person as eligible to be taught as being a "real" President in American History then Ford should be out of the running.
Of course, Ford returned the favor of his appointment to Tricky Dick.
On August 9, 1974 Nixon resigned rather than face his accusers. (Something a truly brave innocent man would never have done).
Returning to the above quoted biography of the Presidents:
"A month after Nixon's resignation, his successor, President Gerald B. Ford, on September 8, 1974, surprised and shocked the nation by granting the former President a 'full, free, and absolute pardon' for all offences committed during his administration. By this action Ford saved Nixon from the possibility of criminal indictment." - (page 382).
So, back to my original statements.
.
The reaction I received from most of the public school history teachers I confronted with the John Hanson question back when I researched this was almost universal. First they stuttered around for a minute and then feebly answer that the fact that Hanson is not recognized as the first President of the United States is because "he was not elected by the people." What a bunch of bull. Of course the real problem is that the teacher his/her self was not taught the extent of Hanson's contribution to the forming of our country.
Not only was John Hanson the First President, but he was also the real Father of our Country.
When the 1st Congress met to form and plan the future of the United States the question came up as to what was to be done about the unexplored lands to the west. The general consensus was that as people moved westward they would take the original state boundaries with them. In other words in the end there would be thirteen states stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Hanson was the leader of the Representatives from the state of Massachusetts, the largest delegation at the Congress. He disagreed with the others. He said that the new lands should be formed into new states as they were developed. He believed that many small states, each with their own laws, instead of just a few large powerful states would make it harder for a hand full of people to gain control over the whole country. Because of the respect they had for his opinions in this and other things, fellow delegates realized that he was right. The Massachusetts delegates refused to vote for the formation of the united States until the others agreed to Hanson's proposal. Hanson controlled enough votes so that had they not agreed with his vision of the united States the united States would not be created. The rest of the representatives finally gave in, and it became the law of the land. The Congress returned its respect for Hanson by voting him in as first President of the united !
States by an unanimous vote on 5 Nov 1781.
. General George Washington sent Hanson his congratulations for becoming the first President of the United States.
Were it not for Hanson there would not be 50 States today. There would probably only be one. He was the first President of our Country and he was the Father of our Country. In my mind he has more of a claim to this honor than a general of the army who was just following orders.
And as for Ford. You know where I stand, he wasn't elected by anyone John Hanson was elected by the 1st Congress to be the first President of the United States…
That makes it perfectly clear that being elected is not the yardstick the mouthpiece educational flunkies of the Controllers would have you believe.
In fact, if you want to get down to brass tacks about the whole matter, which of the two, Hansor or Ford, had the better character to even be recognized as an American hero? You decide: Click here for information on John Hanson;

Bottom line. Our government schools have taught us and are still teaching our children a lie. And that makes the truth a "secret." The irony is that the lie is about a man who we are taught could not tell a lie.
