Lincoln, a railroad lobbyist, was plucked by an
Oligarchy to do their bidding. Lincoln was a
racial separatist who worked to keep slaves out
of the North for economic reasons; he did not
believe in racial equality; he was a white
supremacist; he never emancipated one negro;
he wanted to deport every black human ; he
went to war over tariffs; he shredded the
constitution; he and Sherman invented total war;
he was a war criminal who slaughtered civilians;
he was a liar of the first order; he was a crackpot;
and virtually single thing the government schools
Honest told me about this bastid was a LIE.
From August to December 1862, as he came closer to a final Emancipation Proclamation, he
simultaneously tried to effect a successful plan of colonization. First, he sought to colonize
Chiriqui. Lincoln set the Chiriqui project in motion by appointing James Mitchell as
commissioner of emigration on August 4, 1862. Mitchell's first assignment was to
assemble a delegation of five black leaders to meet with the president at the White House
on August 14. [19]
At that meeting, the first and only time he would ever take the proposal of colonization
directly to blacks, Lincoln assumed the unfortunate tone of a condescending father s
colding ignorant children. "But for your race among us there could not be war," he
observed, and he went on to prescribe their removal as the remedy. He had given up
Liberia as an option for colonization because transportation there was too expensive
and blacks preferred to remain on the American continent. Instead, he touted Central
America, although not mentioning Chiriqui by name, as an area rich in coal where even
a small band of colonists might succeed. When the prominent black abolitionist Frederick
Douglass read about the meeting, he reacted with fury. "It expresses merely the desire to
get rid of them," Douglass said of Lincoln's proposal for freed blacks, "and reminds one
of the politeness with which a man might try to bow out of his house some troublesome
creditor or the witness of some old guilt." Other blacks angry with Lincoln's words still
supported his proposal. Henry Highland Garnet, a long-time advocate of vol- untary emigration, praised the Chiriqui plan as "the most humane, and merciful movement
which this or any other administration has proposed for the benefit of the enslaved."

Lincoln’s Pecuniary Interests at Council Bluffs
“A year prior to his nomination to the presidency — to be
exact, in August, 1859 — he had visited Council
Bluffs, Iowa, to look after his real estate holdings there
and incidentally see the country.
A contemplated railroad to extend westward from the
Missouri River to the Pacific coast was a live, but no
new topic. For years such a possibility had been
discussed, and in the first national campaign conducted
by
the Republican Party in 1856, a Pacific railroad was
made a rather prominent issue. Shortly before his trip to
Council Bluffs, Abraham Lincoln had purchased several
town lots from his fellow [Illinois Central] railroad
attorney, Norman B. Judd, who had acquired them
from the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad. Council
Bluffs at this time was a frontier town, containing
about fifteen hundred people.
General [Grenville] Dodge . . . relates that “during
Lincoln’s visit, some of the citizens of Council Bluffs took
him to a high bluff known as Cemetery Hill, just north
of the town. He was greatly impressed with the outlook;
and the bluff from that time has been known as Lincoln’s
Hill . . .
From here he looked down upon the place, where
by his order, four years later, the terminus of the first trans-continental railway was established.”
The platform of the Republican National Convention t
hat nominated Abraham Lincoln for president in May
1860 at Chicago, declared in the sixteenth plank: “That
a railroad to the Pacific Ocean is imperatively demanded
by the interests of the whole country; that the Federal
Government ought to render immediate and efficient
aid in its construction . . . ”
General Dodge [said]: “There is great competition from
all the towns on both sides of the Missouri River for fifty
miles above and below Council Bluffs, Iowa, for the
distinction of being selected as [the] initial point.
President Lincoln, after going over all the facts that
could be presented to him, and from his own knowledge,
finally fixed the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific
Railroad where our surveys determined the practical
locality — at Council Bluffs, Iowa.”
