People don't realize today that George Washington was a ruthless land speculator who didn't really respect other people's rights and property in end, although it all sounded good on paper and in speeches. A few years ago, here in a town I used to live in in Pennsylvania where young GW spent alot of time....I discovered some documents in the town historic society telling of a land dispute between GW and an Irish guy 20 years his senior who had run a plantation and the largest trading post in the New World at the time, along the banks of the Allegheny River. Then GW came along and simply said "this is mine" after the other guy had worked this land and actually employed Native Americans to be his couriers in some cases. So it went to court and GW won in a heartbeat and simply took the guys land and his life away in a heartbeat. No doubt this was bigger than GW himself, and was actually a conspiracy involving GW and his Masonic accomplices in the court, to grab this land for military-industrial development...which it was. Immediately after, metalworking furnaces and plants went up there. And two weeks after the case was closed the original and rightful owner committed suicide....or so they say.
