William Penn
The Birth of Keystone
State
«VIRTUE,
FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE»
Flag and motto of the state of
Pennsylvania
The William Penn’s Kingdom,
or Does America exist in future?
This US state named
«Keystone» remains the Cornerstone not only in the History of the USA, but in
the Methahistory of all mankind. The most grandiose
ethical and democratic initiatives of American Freedom were founded here. Pennsylvania
is a birthplace of the most important events of the formation of the USA as an
independent state. This state is the outpost of the beginning of true human
freedom. Pennsylvania became the first territory in the New World, where human
slavery was condemned and legally prohibited. William Penn demanded its
complete abolition in the remaining colonies and states of America. In the code
of laws of Pennsylvania, he has compiled, the law of God and Virtue, the
equality for all people and all forms of violence were condemned, as well as
all the legal rights of every citizen to freedom and social justice were
approved.
In the modern America
belief in God, Virtue, and Social Equality have been abandoned and not needed.
Here Socialism is equated with fascism and declared as a society’s evil virtue.
William Penn's apostolic exploits are not mentioned in textbooks. The younger
generation of citizens is growing up, not knowing
anything about who exactly discovered their country and what laws were were established first. Now the basis for freedom in
America is the desire to get rich: profit, business, career, hoarding,
materialism. Historical examples are used correspondingly, and children’s
unanimous dream is only how to become a millionaire. As for Virtue, no one ever
mentions it. Perhaps this is tacitly prohibited. The Holy Crosses, Bible and
Gospel, and the wise quotes of its Founding Fathers are expelled from public
places and government institutions. Indeed, these relics are hardly appropriate
here.
All of the United States
laws were changed and turned for the rich people and their interests. The
middle class and the poor are mercilessly plundered by the state and slavery, corruption, all criminal types of business are flourishing.
The state turned into a pyramid of mafias – from the political at the very top
and to the Latinos community – such as landscapes and the hospitality services.
America is a country for millionaires and billionaires and it is clear to
everyone. But does it exist in the ethical space of the universe? Does this
country has a future? The question remains open,
because the future is the realization of a dream and creative ideas of
modernity necessarily in the interests of all mankind. And if there is no
dream, there is nothing to come true in the future.
William Penn was, above
all, a Great Dreamer. Romantic, idealist and real fighter for
the Christian faith. His Royal and poetic appearance, his sublime soul
and strong will were perfectly fit with the Appalachian Great Nature. Pennsylvania
belongs to him not because he bought it, but because he von its heart. They
were made for each other. Yes, William Penn was a Great Dreamer, and all of his
dreams came true. He founded not only the state, which to this day remains the
Cornerstone, but he founded his own Land – Kingdom of God, and matrix of the
Spirit of America. The word «Pennsylvania» is translated from Italian as
«Penn's Land and Forests». The official date of formation as a state unit is
1787, but the true history of this state dates back to the time of King Charles
II of England, who owned all these vast lands of North America.

From the History of
Pennsylvania
Before the arrival of Europeans
in North America, in the territory of Pennsylvania for thousands of years lived
the tribes of the peoples of Delaware (Lenni-lenape),
Susquehanna, Iroquois, Erie, Shone, Saone, Saluda, Honeasont.
The first European explorer to see the shores of Pennsylvania was Italian
Giovanni da Verrazzano, who
sailed in 1524 along the east coast of North America. At the beginning of the
XVII century land rights in Pennsylvania were contested by England and Holland.
The British believed that these territories are part of the Virginia colony.
The name of the Delaware River (and the state of Delaware) was given in honor
of the first governor of the English colony in Jamestown, Thomas West Lord De
La Verre. However, the very first European
settlements in Pennsylvania were founded in the 20’s of the XVII century by
Dutchman: these were trading posts of the West India Company.
In those years, the
American colony "New Holland", owned by the West India Company, was
led by Peter Minoyit (who bought Manhattan Island
from the Indians, where later modern New York grew). In 1631, he quarreled with
the leaders of the company, was dismissed and, with the help of his friends in
Sweden (which was then one of the leading European powers), in 1638 organized
on the territory of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware several settlements
under Swedish flag - the colony "New Sweden".
But in 1655 however, the
Dutch restored control over the territory, and in 1664 all the Dutch
possessions in North America end up being seized by the British. On March 4,
1681, King Charles the II of England transferred the rights to a vast territory
in North America to William Penn, son of an English admiral, a committed
Christian, entrepreneur, famous English writer and philosopher. The lands were
transferred as a repayment of the royal debt of £ 16,000 to Penn’s father, an
admiral of the British fleet Sir William Penn Sr. The new owner called his
colony «Pennsylvania», «Forest Country Penn». The lands of Pennsylvania
remained the property of the Penn family until the end of the 18th century,
when the state of Pennsylvania, one of the first 13 states of the USA, was
created in the new independent country, USA.

Penn’s ideas and
struggles for Freedom and Democracy.
As for religion William Penn
was a Quaker-pacifist, a follower of the branch of Protestantism that advocates
toleration, equality of all people and total rejection of violence. He tried to
implement these principles in his new American colony. And even the new city
founded by him in the valley of the Delaware which Penn called Philadelphia
translates as «The City of Brotherly Love». The son of an English nobleman,
William Penn, was never a conqueror. He built temples and set up Crosses
throughout the entire territory of his Land, which he called «a refuge for free-thinking Europeans».
Designed by William Penn the structure of the government of Pennsylvania (in
fact the Constitution of this province) was the most liberal at the time. Among
other provisions, it provided for the freeing of slaves, freedom of religion
and humane criminal code.
From the very first years
of his stay in America, Penn advocated the unification of the English colonies.
The democratic principles he spelled out in the Pennsylvania Constitution (The «Pennsylvania Frame of Government») served as the basis
for the United States Constitution. As a pacifist, Penn was serious about the
peaceful resolution of world conflicts. He developed a promising project for
the United States about Europe in which he proposed the creation of a European
Assembly of deputies who could discuss and decide on various disputes without
resorting to violence. This gives the right to consider him the first thinker
who proposed the creation of the European Parliament. A man of strong religious
convictions, Penn wrote many works in which he called on believers to join the
spirit of First Christianity. Several times he was serving a sentence in «The
Tower» and his book «Without a Cross there is no Crown» (1669) which he wrote in
prison became a classic of Christian literature.
A man of fiery faith and with heart of a knight and a poet.
He laid the foundations of the Human
Brotherhood and Ethical Politics.

Native American Treaty
Many religious and
political refugees from Europe mostly Germans Scots and Irish people flooded
into Pennsylvania. Philadelphia grew rapidly and soon became one of the most important
cities in North America (later as one of the largest cities in the USA).
William Penn sought to maintain peaceful and good-neighborly relations with the
indigenous people Native American Indians in every way. In 1683, in the Indian
village of Shakkamaks on he has concluded a Treaty of
Friendship with the leaders of Lenny-Lenape tribe
which was led by Tammani. Later Voltaire said that it
was «the only treaty between the Indians and Christians that was never broken.»
In the 17th century many
of new settlers mastered the new world, cultivated new lands and Pennsylvania
expanded to the west. The heirs of William Penn no longer adhered to his
peace-loving policy towards the Indians. During the war between England and
France (and the Indian tribes that came to its side) in North America known as
the French-Indian War (1754-1763), several battles took place in western
Pennsylvania. Then in 1759, Fort Pitt was built and later became Pittsburgh-
the second most populated city in Pennsylvania. In the summer of 1776, after
the end of the French-Indian War, Fort Pitt was besieged by Indians who at the
same time carried out raids into the heart of Pennsylvania.
It was one of the most
important episodes for the Pontiac Rebellion: an organized performance of Indians
dissatisfied with the policies of the British authorities led by Pontiac, the
leader of the Ottawa tribe. It was during the siege of Fort Pitt that the
British led by warlords Jeffrey Amherst and Henry Bouquet, tried to give out
blankets infected with smallpox among the Indians, thus attempting to cause an
epidemic. Exactly how many Indians ended up being infected remains unknown but
this incident went down in history as one of the most terrible examples of
European methods of colonization of North America.
Mason-Dixon line - into the consciousness
of each citizen!
In the 1780s in 17th century , from the moment the British king handed his rights
to American lands over to William Penn a dispute erupted between Maryland and
Pennsylvania about its borders and territories. Charles II did not specify
exactly where the southern borders of Penn’s lands lies thus creating the
ground for conflict. In the thirties of the 18th century armed conflicts
between colonists broke out due to border disputes.The
problem was not solved for decades until finally in 1763 to 1767 English
astronomer and explorer Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dickson took the necessary
measurements and marked the boundary between the two colonies and its
territories. This border which is a part of a few between the modern states of
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia called the Mason-Dixon Line.
Later this line began to
symbolize the border between the Northeast and the South of the United States:
between the slavery and free states of the United
States. Formally, slavery ended in America and prohibited by law. However, due
to the established political and social conditions, it is universally present.
If a person works on hiring a state or a boss, he has no right to “go where he
wants,” but only where he is indicated; not entitled to their
own opinion; not entitled to privacy; has no right to express any
criticism or discontent. People working in government positions automatically
become slaves for a piece of bread!

entire states and vast regions of disgraceful poverty, where all residents are
doomed to extinction. There are concentration camps, and not only for adults,
but also for the children of immigrants! And this is called freedom and
democracy?! But was William Penn expecting this outcome and did his dream
aspire to this?

Treaty of William Penn
with the Indians Lenni Lenape
tribe. 1683
By Benjamin West 1772
America's Greatest
Tragedy
If the United States
continued to live according to the principles that were laid down in the
Constitution of Pennsylvania, the native people of America would remain safe
and sound. We are talking about the death of a whole continent, according to
various estimates, from 82
to 100 million people! None of the US presidents repented for such
unprecedented atrocities. Moreover, the Indians continue to die in the United
States - everywhere. In Pennsylvania, they remained less than 0.2% of the total
population. Alas, the wealthy descendants of William Penn betrayed his
covenants, began to rewrite the laws for themselves and turned on the path of a
merciless war with the indigenous people of America - for the sake of profit
and profit. So the good traditions of the first settlers were trampled by the
greedy boots of the godless, who came here in the XVIIIth
century, and the very name of the great founding Father today is practically
forgotten. In schools and universities, the question of this treacherous
betrayal and the complete substitution of the main principles of the first
colonists is actively ignored. The land of America
remains drenched with the innocent blood of the indigenous people, the
Christian world and no peace in it. All the time children, civilians are dying,
terrible disasters, devastating tornadoes, hurricanes and floods occur.
But William Penn passed
through it! Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, New Jersey -
sanctified by the high gusts of the soul and the brightest aspirations of the
mind of the great thinker and pioneer of America. His works were not in
vain. The words of the Christian Enlightenment and Brotherly Love fell into the
rocky soil of the Appalachians and remained here forever. Driving through
Pennsylvania to Jordanville we see fabulously
beautiful Nature, amazing cities; we see Crosses on the roads, at the hills,
off the river bends – they are found here more often than in other states. In
general everything here is special, grand and majestic. The
air, space and the skies, forests and mountains, fast rivers and blue horizons.
The marvelous beauty of Pennsylvania and the Appalachians - it enchants you! It
inspires and exploits and calls for new travel to the Unknown. You feel a
unique sense of freedom at Penn's Wooded Land! Here is his soul dwells, and
here he continues the great work of humanization, enlightenment of the
appearance of our planet.
The name of William Penn
was expelled from the life of people and from legal codes, but William Penn,
with the endless magic power of his Earth, entered the heart of every American.
It was he who formed the great nation. Americans for the most part are honest,
truthful, ethical and God fearing people. They continue on the path of their
Founding Fathers and do not tolerate infringement on their personal freedom.
Honest USA citizens never in reconciliation with political evil and violence.
They will definitely change the system of remote voting in the country's
presidential elections and will put an end to the political mafia that seized
the White House and is terrorizing our entire planet. To God the Creator, to
his best sons and daughters of America - William Penn is with us in this fight!
Eternal Memory to the heroes, the first
organizers of the human Brotherhood on our planet! We bow our heads and keep
their names in our hearts!
On the winds of
Pennsylvania.
It will restore the Truth and give
praise to the Founders of American Freedom.
