“Moorish by Blood, Liberia by Record” — Ten Presidents Infographic Forensics
TL;DR: Infographic claims ten Moorish men were real first U.S. presidents and identities were reassigned to Liberia — refuted literally (§2). This dossier tests the author’s thesis, not the meme: Moor labels and Horde–Ottoman iconography (crescent, turban) point to redacted Rus-Horde memory (§2b, §10 — interpretive only, cited). §2b does not rehabilitate the ordinal hoax. Honeypot read (qualified): easily debunked black-nationalist paste may trap seekers so they never ask what was redacted. Core investigation (§7b): documented African Moor presence in the Americas collides with both the “Redskins” autochthon story and the simplified racial-slavery story — we assess how far 19th–20th c. eugenics/race taxonomy falsified both official narratives.

0. Method — meme flaws vs. author thesis
Repo rule: Viral memes are expected to carry bad facts, arbitrary conflation, ordinal paste, and anachronism. We name what is wrong (§2, §6) and separately test whether the author’s redaction thesis survives (§2b, §7b, §10). If the thesis fails, it fails — meme refutation does not automatically rescue it.
Honeypot read (qualified): Some shares may be designed to be easily disproved so debunking feels like closure and fewer readers trace the stratum behind the garble. Infographics that paste Liberia ordinals onto Confederation chairs are a high-risk case for black-nationalist audiences: critics dismiss all Moor-America memory when only the hoax layer fails. This file does not validate the meme to compensate.
Horde iconography (critics often miss this): Mocking crescent + turban stacks as pure 20th-c. MST novelty ignores Fomenko’s Rus-Horde ↔ Ottoman record: crescent with star = branch of the unified cross after Christianity split 05.html; turbans and pagri on imperial eagles (Cologne, Barbarossa, Conrad) because Hordian and Ottoman czar-khans wore them — later reformed into crowns 08_14.html. AI portraits dated to 1781 remain refuted; the icon type is not automatically absurd in a Horde frame.
1. Infographic claims (artifact)
Title: THE FIRST 10 PRESIDENTS THEY NEVER TAUGHT YOU ABOUT: MOORISH BY BLOOD, LIBERIA BY RECORD.
Taglines: “HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT • ERASED FROM AMERICAN HISTORY • RECORDED IN LIBERIA”; “The pen of the conqueror rewrites the name of the conquered.”
Thesis: A line of Moorish scholar-statesmen were the first presidents of the United States; identities later transferred into Liberian historical records in the 1800s.

2. Validation matrix
| # | Claim | Status | Evidence |
| 1 | Ten Moorish men were first U.S. presidents | Refuted | President of the Confederation Congress — presiding officers were Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Massachusetts delegates with documented European names; no Moorish identity in primary rolls |
| 2 | Dates 1781–1801 cover “real” pre-Washington presidency | Misleading | Articles presidency is Congress moderator, not Article II executive; Constitution 1789 installs George Washington as first U.S. President — House Office of the Historian |
| 3 | Identities reassigned to Liberia in the 1800s | Refuted | Liberia independent 1847; Joseph Jenkins Roberts first president 3 Jan 1848 — LOC Liberia history; Americo-Liberian presidents have documented Virginia/North Carolina/Caribbean manumission and ACS emigration biographies — not secret U.S. presidents |
| 4 | Ordinal map (meme #2 = Roberts, #3 = Benson…) proves transfer | Refuted | Pattern is post-hoc: take 1st–10th Liberian presidents (with repeat Roberts/Payne terms) and paste onto invented Moorish names; no archival “reassignment” event |
| 5 | John Hanson = Moorish first president | Refuted | White John Hanson (1715–1783), Maryland planter — Constitution Facts; PolitiFact |
| 6 | Abdullah El, Benjamin Ashur, etc. | Refuted | No appearance in Continental/Confederation journals, Maryland gazettes, or peer-reviewed history |
| 7 | Nat Turner El president 1791–1793 | Refuted | Nat Turner born 2 Oct 1800 — Britannica; rebellion 1831; not born during alleged term |
| 8 | George Washington was not first president | Refuted (if “only president”) / Validated (Article II) | First Constitutional president 1789 — House Historian; Confederation chairs are a different office (§3) |
| 9 | “Hidden in plain sight” / scrubbed Moorish blood | Not validated | No NARA, LoC, or Liberian National Archives transfer dossier; genre matches Moorish Science Temple / sovereign-citizen historiography |
| 10 | Portraits = historical likenesses | Refuted / AI-likely | Turbans + uniform grey-beard style + cabinet-card frame around non-photographic faces; daguerreotype only from 1830s — cannot depict 1781 sitters |
| 11 | Liberia John Hanson proves meme | Misread | Black John Hanson (c.1791–1860) — Liberian senator from 1827 emigration — BlackPast; USAToday fact-check — not Confederation president |
| 12 | Barack Obama first Black U.S. president (modern) | Validated | 2009 — after meme’s false Hanson claim |
Overall verdict: Infographic is synthetic history — one real confusion (Hanson + Confederation “presidents before Washington”) weaponized into a Liberian ordinal paste.
2b. Author read — garbled Horde-fracture folk memory (interpretive only)
Does not rehabilitate infographic claims. Literal rows in §2 stay refuted. What follows explains magnetism and tests author thesis — not meme facts.
Author (2026-06-11, session): The meme has no basis in fact at literal level, but may be a thinly redacted popular compression of a different story: America founded on redacted Rus-Horde principles (not Rome); modern presidents as term-limited reflections of original tsar-khan sovereignty after fracture; those rulers later smeared as “black kings,” “Moor kings,” “false kings” — and in the Atlantic fracture, false presidents.
“People-elected tsar” — Author speculative: Fomenko does not document modern ballot democracy for Horde czars. Author extension: the Christ story reads as an early election / acclamation narrative — Apostolic (“people’s”) Christianity vs Royal bloodline worship 02_06.html; people’s king without palace genealogy — two-branches note; Andronicus-Christ duplicated as “local first czar” in provincial chronicles 08_07.html. Speculative bridge from Passion / Senate decree hostility to living god-kings 02_15.html — not proof the infographic’s Abdullah El row is real.
Repo stance: Interpretive rhyme only, cited where Fomenko speaks; author extensions labeled. Liberia ordinal paste and fabricated Arabic names remain refuted.
What rhymes (structural, not literal)
| Author / repo lane | Meme distortion |
| Hanson / Confederation chairs = visible pre-Constitution sovereignty before Washington | Meme treats them as hidden Moorish presidents instead of fractured Horde succession |
Washington (1776) = first new ruler on American Horde lands after Pugachev (1775) crushed — Fomenko 08.html | Meme skips Siberian-American czar at Tobolsk and carve-up of Moscow Tartary |
| Term-limited presidency vs czar-khan = rotating synecdoche after empire break-up | Meme inverts into ten eternal kings hidden in Liberia |
“Black king” = Fomenko CHERNAYA vs CHERMNAYA tsaritsa misread (beautiful → black) 02.html + author Moor as status label | Meme reads pigment + MST turbans |
False / illegitimate king = Romanovs as usurpers; Siberian czar called Romanovs illegitimate 08.html | Meme assigns falsehood to wrong characters (Abdullah El, etc.) |
| Federal closed-door project supplanting Horde memory — Apotheosis dossier | Meme replaces Brumidi apotheosis with AI Moor portraits |
What does not rhyme
- Liberia 1848+ presidents as secret U.S. tsar filing cabinet — no Fomenko pathway; ACS emigration is documented separate history.
- Ten two-year Moorish names — Fomenko’s “local first czar” is Andronicus-Christ duplicated in provincial chronicles, not an ordinal list of 1840s Monrovia merchants.
- Nat Turner El — pure meme noise; anachronism.
One-line author read: Folk channels sense official succession is wrong; without Horde grammar they rebuild it from Moor + Liberia + president tokens — right unease, wrong transcript (same pattern as Palatine Moors misquote and Cherokee Moors meme).
3. Real Confederation presidents (1781–1789)
Under the Articles of Confederation, the President of the United States in Congress Assembled served as neutral chair of Congress — not an independent executive (Legal Clarity summary).
First full one-year term: John Hanson (Maryland), 5 Nov 1781 – 4 Nov 1782.
Subsequent Confederation presidents (documented):
| President | Term (approx.) |
| Elias Boudinot | 1782–1783 |
| Thomas Mifflin | 1783–1784 |
| Richard Henry Lee | 1784–1785 |
| John Hancock (elected; ill) / Nathaniel Gorham | 1785–1786 |
| Nathaniel Gorham | 1786–1787 |
| Arthur St. Clair | 1787–1788 |
| Cyrus Griffin | 1788–1789 |
Count: Eight one-year presidencies under Articles — not ten Moorish names. Meme extends to 1801 past Confederation’s 1789 supersession by the Constitution.
None of the meme’s Arabic-renamed figures appear in this list.
4. Liberia chronology — why “reassignment” fails
| Date | Event |
| 1817 | American Colonization Society founded |
| 1820s | First ACS emigrants to Liberia |
| 1847 | Liberian independence declared |
| 3 Jan 1848 | Joseph Jenkins Roberts sworn first president — born 1809 Norfolk, Virginia — Wikipedia |
| 1856–1864 | Stephen Allen Benson (2nd) |
| 1864–1868 | Daniel Bashiel Warner (3rd) |
| … | Payne, Roye, Smith, Roberts 2nd term, Payne 2nd, Gardiner, Russell — Archontology list |
Gap: Meme’s U.S. window ends 1801; Liberia’s presidency begins 1848 — 47 years later, in a different republic founded by ACS settlers. Each Liberian president has independent biography (emigration ship, merchant career, election records) — not a renamed Moorish Confederation officer.
Meme’s trick: Match ordinal number (1st Liberian pres. → 2nd meme slot after Hanson) while skipping that #1 meme Hanson already maps to different Liberian senator Hanson.
5. John Hanson — two men, one confusion
| White John Hanson | Black John Hanson | |
| Life | 1715–1783 | c.1791–1860 |
| Role | First full-term Confederation Congress president | Liberian senator (Grand Bassa) |
| Race | White Maryland delegate | Black — formerly enslaved, ACS emigrant 1827 |
| U.S. president? | No — chair of Congress only | No — never held U.S. office |
| Photo memes | No contemporary photograph exists | 19th-c. daguerreotype mislabeled “first Black U.S. president” |
Dick Gregory popularized Hanson confusion in the 1990s; this infographic extends it into ten Moorish presidents + Liberia.
6. Forensic tells
| Tell | Read |
| AI-style portraits | Ten matching turbans/robes; not sourced to NARA, LoC, or Liberian archives |
| Anachronism | Nat Turner El before Turner’s birth |
| Ordinal paste | Liberian presidents #1–#10 mapped onto invented names |
| Islamic crescent + Africa ankh | Misdated for 1781 federal iconography; not “no Horde connection” — crescent+star = Ottoman–Horde cross branch 05.html; turbans on imperial eagles 08_14.html. Critics who assume zero Rus-Horde link are often uninformed |
| “They never taught you” | Conspiracy framing without primary citation |
| Two-year terms 1781–1801 | Fabricated rhythm; Articles prescribed one-year terms |
7. Repo bridge — Moor lanes (do not merge; does not validate meme)
Canonical three-lane table: slave-trades dossier + europe whitewash §2c. Pointers only here:
| Lane | This meme |
| Delaware “Indian Moor” | Documented state label — Cherokee dossier; ≠ infographic |
| Maghrebi / Atlantic Moor | Documented slaving + Barbary sphere — slave-trades; ≠ Confederation ordinal paste |
| This infographic | Refuted ordinal hoax — no archival transfer |
Europe whitewash (interpretive): Meme projects Moorish identity onto documented white Confederation chairs while real Americo-Liberian history (1848+) is repurposed as “hidden” U.S. presidency — category collision, not validation. See europe §2c forced split — link does not imply meme is substantially true.
7b. Core thesis — African Moors in America vs. official narratives
What we are actually investigating: Not whether Abdullah El presided in 1783, but whether African-descended Moors (Maghrebi, Barbary, Atlantic, and state “Moor” race slots like Delaware § 106) lived in the Americas in numbers and roles incompatible with how two official stories are usually told:
| Official narrative (as popularly taught) | Collision if Moor-America memory is real |
| “Redskins” / autochthon indigenous — pre-Columbian nations as sole aboriginal story | Moor as legal and ethnographic label for eastern Indians + African-presenting studio portraits (Cherokee Freedmen lane) suggests prior strata redacted into either “Indian” or “Black” never both |
| Racial chattel slavery — clean white owner / black victim cartoon; Native side separate | Barbary white slavery, Atlantic Moor traders, Delaware tri-racial schools break the binary; Moor often marks status + empire, not census race (europe §2c, Fomenko Chermnaya → Chernaya §10E) |
| Both packaged in 19th–20th c. eugenics vocabulary | Huge counterfactual (author): both narratives may be largely falsified — not “no suffering,” but wrong ontology — using racist taxonomy after Horde fracture and Reformation map erasure |
Repo stance: Open investigative — gather Tier A labels (Delaware law, Gilbert 1948, Barbary record, Franklin swarthy/tawny rhetoric) and refute meme hoaxes without letting hoax-debunk close the redaction question. Wrong is wrong at meme level; thesis still needs its own evidence ladder (§8–9 open questions).

- Earliest posting date / author account for this ten-president graphic variant
- Whether meme conflates Moorish Science Temple “Moor” nationality filing with Confederation history
- Liberian archives — any genuine colonial-era “Moor” label for settler groups (separate from this hoax)
- Trace earliest ten-president / Liberia graphic variant; compare to Hanson-as-first-Black-president meme lineage (1990s Dick Gregory → 2020s ordinal expansion)
10. Fomenko king rhyme — ~/dev/wget/chronologia.org deep dive
Mirror: /home/ari/dev/wget/chronologia.org/en/how_it_was/ (Fomenko & Nosovskiy, How It Was In Reality). Index: ~/dev/wget/index-chronologia.md.
Fomenko does not discuss Moorish presidents or Liberia. He does supply a king / czar / president rhyme that helps explain why folk memes grab president and king slots when Horde succession was redacted.
A. Washington = first new ruler on Horde-American land (1776 ↔ 1775)
From 08.html (Chapter 8, American war):
George Washington became the first president of the USA in 1776… It appears that he became the first new ruler in the American lands of the Russian Horde.
Same chapter links 1775–1783 American war to 1775 crushing of “Pugachev” — last independent Hordian czar / military commander of Moscow Tartary. The Independence story is reframed as carve-up of Moscow Tartary (Britain as misdirection).
Rhyme to author thesis: President = post-fracture title for first occupant of a Horde province after the Siberian-American czar line is broken — not indigenous American sovereignty. Term limits (later Constitutional) fit anti-tsar rotation Fomenko does not spell out but that the repo adds.
B. Siberian czar vs Romanov illegitimate rulers
This Kingdom retained the old Russian-Horde customs and had its own czar with his capital in Tobolsk. The Siberian czar was hostile towards the Romanovs, considering them illegitimate rulers of the Western part of Russia.
Rhyme: “False king” in author read maps cleanly onto Fomenko’s dual sovereignty — Horde legitimacy vs Romanov/Western usurpation — not onto Joseph Jenkins Roberts.
C. “Local first czar” — one emperor, many phantom names
08_07.html §12–13 (history reformation):
The question is under what names the czar-khans of Russia-Horde were reflected in the ‘distant past’?… every Hordian emperor is reflected in the regional chronicles under different names: biblical, ‘Ancient’ Roman, ‘Ancient’ Germanic…
Andronicus-Christ ‘appeared’ at the beginning of the written history of various newly-emerged states. But already as, allegedly, ‘their own, local first czar’…
Rhyme to meme (distorted): The infographic’s ten named rulers mimic the one-emperor-many-aliases pattern — but without Fomenko’s Andronicus-Christ anchor, substituting MST Arabic names and Liberian ordinals.
D. Kings of Israel = Horde czars-khans on Kremlin ceilings
Same section, Moscow Golden Chamber:
The ancient Kings of Israel depicted on the ceilings… were in particular the following Russian-Horde czars-khans: Dmitry Donskoi, aka Biblical King David; Suleiman the Magnificent… aka King Solomon; Georgy Danilovich = Genghis Khan, aka Biblical King Asa.
Rhyme: Biblical king list = compressed Horde emperor list — institutional king rhyme Fomenko documents in architecture, not Facebook infographics.
E. “Black king” misread — Magi / Malka / Chermnaya → Chernaya
02.html (Chapter 2):
Why did a fair-haired Slavic woman later turn into a Negro woman, i.e. BLACK woman? And then into a BLACK man… from CHERMNAYA TSARITSA (meaning BEAUTIFUL QUEEN) turned into CHERNAYA TSARITSA (meaning BLACK QUEEN).
The Three Magi… were the great ‘Mongolian’ czars of Rus’-Scythia… Vladimir (Balthazar), Malka (Melchior), Caspar = Cossak.
Rhyme to author “black king / Moor king”: Fomenko’s mechanism is linguistic pigment mislabeling of Slavic Horde royalty — closer to Europe whitewash and Delaware “Moor” Indian label than to North African ethnicity. The meme literalizes a misread Fomenko already described for Magi.
F. Moor in Fomenko (limited)
02_19.html— Shakespeare Moor Aaron (literary figure).05_15.html— Moors driven from Spain = Horde relocation narrative (Iberian expulsion as imperial movement).
No Fomenko link from Moor to U.S. president or Liberia.
G. Synthesis table — Fomenko vs meme vs author
| Layer | Fomenko (wget) | Meme | Author read |
| First American ruler | Washington 1776 on ex-Horde land | Ten Moorish presidents 1781–1801 | Term-limited false presidents after Horde fracture |
| Legitimate sovereignty | Siberian czar / Horde custom | Hidden Moorish blood | Elected tsar-line memory erased |
| Illegitimate power | Romanovs | (not named) | False kings / figureheads |
| King list | Israelite kings = Horde czars | Ordinal Liberian paste | One stratum, many labels |
| “Black” ruler | Chermnaya → Chernaya misread | AI turbans | Status Moor / black king ≠ census race |
| Liberia | Not discussed | Record vault | Weak symbol (ACS exodus only) |
Conclusion: Fomenko provides a documented king rhyme — czar-khan ↔ biblical king ↔ local first czar ↔ president-as-new-ruler — that supports the author’s interpretive frame and explains meme magnetism, while refuting the infographic’s specific claims.
Limits
- Refuting the meme does not deny Americo-Liberian history, ACS emigration, or Black republic founding.
- Confederation presidency debates (Hanson vs Washington “first”) are legitimate trivia — this infographic exceeds that into fabricated identities.
- Not legal advice on Moorish nationality filings.
