WE NEED SUCH GOVERNORS TODAY

New Moral Code From Washington:

“On January 19, 1959, came the legal rejection of massive resistance that Governor [J. Lindsay] Almond expected. Both the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals and a three-judge federal district court ruled, in separate cases, that the anti-desegregation statues adopted in 1956 were illegal and invalid. When the beleaguered governor went on television two days later to announce his response to the court rulings, his tone was strident and his message was one of continued defiance. An impassioned Almond told Virginians:

“To those in high places or elsewhere who advocate integration for your children and send their own to private or public segregated schools, to those who defend or close their eyes to the livid stench of sadism, sex immorality and juvenile pregnancy infesting the mixed schools of the District of Columbia and elsewhere; to those who would overthrow the customs, morals and traditions of a way of life which has endured in honor and decency for centuries and embrace a new moral code prepared by nine men in Washington whose moral concepts they know nothing about . . . to all these and their confederates, comrades and allies, let me make it abundantly clear for the record now and hereafter, as governor of this State, I will not yield to that which I know to be wrong and will destroy every semblance of education for thousands of the children of Virginia.”

(The Dynamic Dominion, Realignment and the Rise of Virginia’s Republican Party Since 1945, Frank B. Atkinson, George Mason University Press, 1992, pp. 1104-105)

Well, I do think history has proven the good governor correct. Too bad most of our people can't (or won't) learn the lesson.

JOY TO A BEAUTIFUL WORLD

It's a beautiful early fall day here in the hills and mountains of north Alabama. I'm just north of the Tennessee River (the "Singing River" in the Cherokee language)and about nine miles south of the Tennessee State line. Pretty much everything you hear around here is musical, even the soft breezes.

For all the ugliness and banality in the world, it sure can be full of wonder and beauty, too. I suppose it's all about that on which you choose to focus. The forces of evil will try to grind you down if you let them. Don't let them.

When they start to get to you, remember this: Christ now sits at the right hand of the Father, ruling and reigning over the earth. He will eventually make all His enemies (and yours, if you're a Christian) His footstool. With this in mind, how can you not be joyful?

AMERICA'S BROWNSHIRTS

Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa had some profane, combative words for Republicans while warming up the crowd for President Obama in Detroit, Michigan on Monday.

“We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They’ve got a war, they got a war with us and there’s only going to be one winner. It’s going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We’re going to win that war,” Jimmy Hoffa Jr. said to a heavily union crowd.

“President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,” Hoffa added.

IRENE

The way the media is talking you'd think that Hurricane Irene was a Cat 5 instead of barely a 2. In fact, when she gets as far north as New York City and Massachusetts, she likely will have been downgraded to a tropical storm. Yet you'd think it was the end of the world.

If she was bearing down on Biloxi, Mobile, or Pensacola, then there might be a mention on the news channels and some decent coverage on The Weather Channel (where every weather "event" beyond a summer thundershower is cause for panic). But now that Irene is headed for the northeastern corridor it is a potential national disaster in the making. Is there anywhere up there that hasn't been evacuated already (before the first raindrop has fallen)? I suppose that tells you a lot about how the mainstream media see the north versus the South. One place important, the other not so much.

One thing I never want to hear again is smug Yankees laughing at Southerners trying to deal with a snowstorm. Natural disasters cut both ways, bitches . . .

A LITTLE "NATURAL DISASTER" HUMOR ON AN OTHERWISE BORING DAY

The US government, through its Department of Homeland Security, has deemed the 6.0 earthquake that shook the financial-political corridor (otherwise known as the Axis of Evil) from Washington, DC, to New York City as a "domestic terrorist."

A spokesman from DHS said: "The very fact that this natural disaster would choose to strike at the very heart of America, from the Pentagon to Wall Street, shows its intent to disrupt the business of America, which as we all know is as necessary as the air we breathe if the earth is to be kept spinning properly on its axis. This act of domestic terror will not succeed, despite all the shaking. Rather, it will cause the American people, once they're clearer to return to their workplaces, to stand firmly together. We recommend that all Americans get out immediately and show their patriotism by buying something on a credit card or by opening a checking account at Bank of America."

We also learned that Congress is contemplating an updated version of the USA Patriot Act that would outlaw unauthorized geological events and those who summon them through what a spokesman called "imprecatory prayer." (Yes, go ahead and blame it on "the Christians.")

On a related note, Hurricane Irene is headed north toward the mouth of the Potomac and likely will make landfall before the weekend.
Could this be the day (or week) that Bank of America goes under? Its CDS is being hammered thus far today. Perhaps the market is determined to force the banking system to deal with reality instead of the alternate "reality" of "cooked books" that has been the recent stock-in-trade of the Bernankes and Geithners of the world.

An admission that Bank of America (which has the most deposits of any US bank) is indeed insolvent would be a very big and severe event.

JUST ANOTHER NAIL IN THE ESTABLISHMENT'S COFFIN

Between 2007 and 2010, the US Fed gave away in secret some $1.2 trillion in public monies to their bankster friends, some of them foreign.

We, my friends, have been duped. And we will continue to be duped as long as these criminals and their cronies in the DC political arena are free to continue doing "business as usual." When will justice be done? And who will make sure it's done in a timely manner?

If real justice is not meted out to these criminals, then perhaps there will be a revolution in America. And I'm talking about one where the old, corrupt order is completely destroyed and replaced by one based truly on the consent of the governed. That's how our Founders intended this polity to work.

But from a personal standpoint, I'd perfer that the States simply secede and leave DC, Wall Street, and their sorry allies with no one to abuse but themselves. It can be done if we can only summon the will. We surely have the ways and means.

DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD THINGS REALLY ARE?

There will be QE 3 in some form or another beginning Monday, 22 August. In fact, we should have realized this a little while back when the Fed committed to ZIRP for another two years (by the way, ZIRP stands for Zero Interest Rate Policy). Anything to make money cheap and readily available. It is said by his critics that this is all Ben Bernanke knows how to do; it's all the ammo in his gun. And it won't do anything expect make the situation worse in the long run. But he knows this . . .

Today, the Fed opened up a $200 billion dollar swap line to the National Bank of Switzerland, a sure sign that the European liquidity crisis will be the hinge on which a new quantitative easing policy turns. Tomorrow (19 August), the markets will crash further and there will be threats of major Euro-banks going under. Gold will skyrocket. This will be all the cover Bernanke and the Fed need to ride to the rescue with some form of QE 3. It will be a massive worldwide effort (again).

All of this is a manufactured crisis, designed by the Fed and their corrupt bankster buddies. It will permit them to keep in place the inflationary policy that 1) continues the confiscation of assets worldwide by the banksters and 2) sets the stage for an ultimate hyper-inflationary event that will destroy sovereign nations and long-standing political systems.

Can the criminals stage manage such a big show? Can they keep the QE bus between the ditches? Stay tuned for the show. May God have mercy on us all. Live well . . .

THE RIGHTS AND POWERS OF THE STATES

When our Founders broke the bonds of political association with the British Empire in 1776, the former colonies became free and independent States constituting thirteen separate communities, each asserting its sovereignty. This state of affairs received confirmation by both the Articles of Confederation (1778) and the subsequent Treaty of Paris (1783). Thus Americans themselves, as well as their former British overlords, acknowledged that each State was a separate and sovereign entity.

The sovereignty of the several separate States is crucial to a proper understanding of the process by which these United States gave their consent to a Constitution in 1787-88. When delegates from the States met in Philadelphia in May 1787, they came as representatives selected, directly or indirectly, by the citizens of their respective States. These delegates were not given authority by the people of their States to make any binding agreements; rather, they were only to discuss proposed changes to the Articles of Confederation. Any changes to the Articles might become effective only if they were ratified in convention by the citizens of the separate States.

The result of the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 was, of course, the drafting and ultimate ratification of the U.S. Constitution. However, that document did not become binding until nine of the original thirteen States had ratified it for themselves. That happened in 1788, and thus the nine signatory States entered into a compact or contract with each other. By doing so, they created a political union for their mutual benefit and security. The four States that initially remained outside this voluntary union for a time were not bound by the compact until they later signed on to it.

It is important to note that no State (or States) could answer for another State. Each State acceded to the compact by its own sovereign will. Moreover, all of them understood that they might secede from the compact by the same means by which they had acceded to it in the first place—a convention of their citizens or their representatives in assembly—if they perceived it in their best interests.

Under the 9th and 10th amendments to the compact (part of the 1791 Bill of Rights), the States were further recognized as the repositories of ultimate political sovereignty. All powers which they had not expressly delegated to the general government were retained by the States themselves, including the rights of nullification, interposition, and secession. The power to force a State or States to remain in the voluntary union against their will was nowhere to be found in the powers delegated to the general government or any of its agencies.

Without States Rights, which have been trampled upon since the military defeat of the Confederacy in 1865, we have no rights at all. To be exact, we have no remedy against an encroaching tyranny on either a national or global scale. Until recently, only in the South were States Rights given consideration as an antidote, however quaint and anachronistic, to the growth of illicit power in Washington, DC. In the past year or so, the call for States Rights and State Sovereignty has resounded from Vermont to California. Perhaps the South was right after all?

The legitimate assertion of States Rights is nothing more than the people of the separate States exercising their inalienable rights to change their form of government whenever it ceases to fulfill the purposes for which it was created. In our system, of course, government’s role was to protect our God-given rights to life, liberty, and property.

Those who oppose States Rights today often defend their position out of 1) ignorance or 2) self interest. The former simply does not understand the American founding principles; the latter profit in some way or another from the current centralization of political power in DC. One is a fool, the other a knave. No matter, for they are both liberty’s enemies. Those of us in The League of the South who support States Rights and it natural outworking of nullification, interposition, and secession know that absent this bedrock principle we cannot survive as a free and prosperous people. If others outside the South wish to abandon States Rights, we wish them well in their servitude. As for us, we understand that this hallowed principle, though long languishing, is the key to preserving those blessed gifts God chose to bequeath us through the exertions of previous generations of Southerners. As we Alabamians are fond of saying: “Audemus jura nostra defendere.”

GOVERNMENT IN REBELLION

We hear much talk today about dissenters against the U.S. government being labeled "domestic terrorists." That's just another way of saying "rebels." But for the U.S. government to call dissenters by these names is to turn reality upside down. What do I mean, you may ask?

According to the Law of Pre-emptory Accusation, whatever traits the accuser attributes to the accused, you can be sure fits the former and not the latter. Simply put, if the accuser calls you a liar, he is really the liar. If he calls you a hater, he is the real hater. And so forth . . . (reminds me of the Southern Poverty Law Center, one of DC's watchdogs).

My contention here is simple: the U.S. government, since it quit abiding by the Constitution, has been in rebellion against us, the people. If some action is unconstitutional it is, by its very nature, unlawful. And what is unlawful is, ipso facto, criminal. Hence my reason for calling the U.S. government an Organized Criminal Enterprise, Gangster Government, etc., every chance I get.

We, as dissenters against criminal government, are not domestic terrorists or rebels striving unlawfully to bring down a legitimate government; instead, we are true patriots seeking to rein in an overbearing and rebellious government that threatens our lives, liberty, and prosperity. There are several ways of protecting ourselves. For over fifteen years now, the League of the South’s preferred method is secession by the States. It is a time-honored and Constitutional remedy (no matter how loudly the Establishment may deny it). We would be foolish to discard it as an historical anachronism.

We have a perfectly legal and moral means of protecting ourselves. Thus, we have the moral high ground, regardless of what the U.S. government or its lap-dog media and watchdog groups might say.

LET'S NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE AGAIN

‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader—the barbarians enter Rome." - Robert A. Heinlein

IS THIS YOUR NIGHTMARE?

"Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimal food or water, in austere conditions, training day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home. He knows only The Cause.

Still want to quit?" - Unknown

LAUGHTER . . . YOU REMEMBER LAUGHTER

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.

-Eric Idle, comedian, actor, and author (b. 1943)

Know any groups at which the PC police keep you from laughing? Yeah, me too. Makes you wonder what they're trying to get away with. With this observation in mind, it's easy to see why leftist of all stripes (and especially you folks at the SPLC) have no sense of humor and are just no fun at all.

GASOLINE PRICES AND THE COMING EXPLOSION

Gasoline prices in my area of north Alabama today are just below $3.50 per gallon for regular grade. That's with the price of West Texas Intermediate at about $105 per barrel.

Folks around here have been hit quite hard by the depression since the fall of 2008, and things are not getting any better. Now, we have inflation, the inevitable outcome of QE1 and QE2.

When gasoline hits $4.00 plus per gallon by April (and it seems on track to do just that), what is going to happen to the price of food and other necessary items that must be processed and shipped, both of which directly involve the use of gasoline and diesel fuel? What happens when the price of fuel hits double digits per gallon?

In short, there is going to be lots of misery among the common folks (i.e. those not tied to government or entities favored by government). The bankers and their friends can afford $20 per gallon gasoline and $10 loaves of bread and still live luxuriously--the rest of us will be paupers.

Do the powers-that-be understand that this is an unstable, dangerous situation they have created? I can't believe they are too stupid to know that. Do they simply not care? Well, by their actions they seem oblivious to the suffering of others.

What will finally trigger a popular explosion of violence in America? I don't think anyone knows the specifics; however, I can assure you we're much closer to that day today than we were only a month ago. And when it does come and the genie is out of the bottle, it won't be pretty. So be prepared. The time you have before the deluge is as precious as gold--use it wisely.

OPEN BORDERS AND THE SOUTH

Southerner--be honest: Do you really want to live in a Third World country?

I suspect your answer is "no" (or perhaps "hell no!").

Well, you are on the verge of living in such a place (and some of you are already there in Texas and other select areas around Dixie).

You know this is not happening by accident, don't you? It's not that things would be better if the feds could only be persuaded to enforce the law. It is their intention not to enforce it. Theirs is an open borders policy designed to dilute the "old people" (i.e. those Anglo-Celtic and other Euro-Southerners) whose families actually settled the South and to replace us with a "new people" who will be much more malleable and compliant to a dictatorship.

What's at stake here is literally your (and your children's and grandchildren's) future--your life, your land, and your prosperity.

If you can't rouse yourself to take this situation seriously you're a dead man, either sooner or later.

The fundamental solution is for the Southern States to leave this corrupt empire and form their own republic, and the sooner the better.

You say that can't be done for myriad reasons (excuses, really): it's been tried once in the 1860s and failed; it is unconstitutional; it is impractical; it would mean war, etc. etc.

But to toss aside this solution because someone in DC might not like it is to resign one's self to defeat and destruction.

DON'T GO GENTLY . . .

I have withdrawn my consent from this wicked regime. It is an American Empire, not a republic. It is an organized criminal enterprise, not a republic.

And it does not matter if the Democrats or Republicans (or a combination of the two) are in control of the Presidency or the Congress.

The criminal activity will not stop until enough of us withdraw our consent. What does this mean in reality? It means not acting as the eyes and ear, hands and feet, of the regime. They cannot function without their minions out in the provinces and boondocks. Without hirelings, they are senseless and thus powerless.

Don't help them bring about your own destruction. Do not use their institutions; rather, create your own. Do, use, and buy local as much as possible. Socially ostracize those who continue to cooperate with the regime's criminals--make life uncomfortable for them. Do not spend your "money" with those who support the regime. And finally, be an all-round "problem" for the regime at every turn. Use your imagination and good old common sense. You don't have to submit without a fight! You are a free man or woman, aren't you?
