The Battle of Brooklyn: America's Dunkirk

Source: Piece of Mindful

Note to readers: At this time I am taking a break from Covid Covid Covid and doing some more enjoyable work, researching of oddball events that make no sense on their face. As for Covid, the revolution is still being televised 24-7. I don't need to cover it. Just a few days ago the New York Times reported that Covid 19 had invaded South America, with hundreds of thousands of cases. In other words, it is winter down there, and they are having their cold and flu season, this year an alarming emergency for some reason.

The Battle of Long Island

The Continental Congress had declared independence on July 2, 1776. Two days later, on July 4 (=11), the document would be read in public. Congress would authorize 28,501 troops, but the newly appointed Commander of all forces, George Washington, had only managed by August of that year to raise 19,000.

These troops, garrisoned in New York City, at that time comprising the southern end of Manhattan Island, had put up a good showing in Boston. However, they were rough and ragtag, untrained, and likely to give their muskets the Italian treatment* if ever they came face-to-face with seasoned British troops. There was squabbling among factions, men were using bayonets to cut their food. Meanwhile, two brothers, General William and Admiral Richard Howe had assembled 32,000 fully trained British and Hessian troops.

Washington thought that the British would attack to take control of New York Harbor, and had moved about half of his troops over what is now Brooklyn, and built fortifications there in order to assail the British when they moved on Manhattan. After severe fighting with many casualties, he settled in to his Brooklyn fortifications. He was surrounded. The Howe’s had landed troops on Long Island and placed them in position as seen below.

The red lines indicate British and Hessian troop movements and placements, so that Washington had no escape once Admiral Howe moved his ships up the East River and completed the enclosure. However, and inexplicably, General William Howe ordered the attack to stop. He apparently expected that Washington, defeated, would surrender. So we are told.

Washington got hold of every flat bottomed boat in the area, and on the night of August 29-30, made a 'miraculous' escape, moving 9,000 troops over a mile of the fast current of the East River and back to Manhattan.

Orient yourself to the map above if you can. If American, you should recognize most of the names. The Howe's engaged in standard military tactics. All that needed to be done was for General Howe to close the front door by ordering his brother to sail his troops up the East River to engage Washington and demand his surrender. Instead we got an early version of Miracle on 34th Street, the 1947 movie that explained that Santa Clause really does exist.

The war, which should have ended that night, would go on for six more years. There would be more battles in this area, climaxing on November 20, 1776 when the British took Fort Lee in New Jersey. It can be said that the British merely blundered, as wars are fought by humans, but that is hard to embrace knowing that Washington had been cornered, his troops divided, and that on August 27, 1776, the war should have ended.

Some claim that winds did not favor Admiral Howe's movements that night, and that a thick fog the following morning further assisted the American escape. We can never be sure of these things, as they could be invented by historians to cover up a larger scheme. Those excuses could be mere fog of war.

It's all very strange. The Howe brothers were no fools, veteran soldiers with years of service to the Crown. I suspect I am looking at something here that repeats throughout history – the staged revolution.

I use the word "staged" with a precise meaning in mind. Battles were fought, soldiers died in large numbers on both sides. The thirteen US colonies were difficult to govern, so the British probably thought it better to let them have their revolution. But a critical element of this revolution was that the American leaders – some, most or perhaps all – were British agents, George Washington among them (unless he was a giant fool). It was understood that when the war was over, the new country would still be ruled by Britain. That is my take, why I think that General Howe deliberately let Washington and his troops escape.

It is therefore no surprise that the following words serve to open the Treaty of Paris, which ended the war:

It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the Hearts of the most Serene and most Potent Prince George the Third, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Lunebourg, Arch- Treasurer and Prince Elector of the Holy Roman Empire etc.. and of the United States of America …

The treaty goes on to define boundaries, grant fishing rights, and order the restoration of any property seized from loyalists during the war. It may be standard in diplomacy to use such flowery language, and it is clear on reading this document that after signature the United States of America was, at least on the surface, no longer a British colony. The country would grow powerful, and as of this date, elect 45 presidents, all but one descended from British royalty.

The Pilgrims Society was created to prevent the colony from getting away from the Crown in case the plantation dwellers decided to get uppity about their "freedom":

Then of course the Tavistock Institute (including foundations and university endowments) came along to do the social engineering for the plantation:

This needs a rethink. Sure you want to be an "American patriot" after reading this?
