Recently, I happened to run across a black lady whose first name was Kenyatta. When I asked her where she got that name she said her mother had given it to her. She went on to explain that she was named for Jomo Kenyatta, the first president of Kenya. She was a nice lady and I’m not sure she grasped the political implications of her first name. I wonder if her mother did. I didn’t get into any of that with her, as I sensed it would not be overly productive, and as I said, she seemed like a nice lady and not a raving radical.

But it made me think. How many White Southerners over the years have named their sons after Confederate soldiers? When our son was born my wife and I had narrowed the choice of names for him down to two–Daniel from the Bible and Thomas Jonathan for Stonewall Jackson. We eventually went with Daniel from the Bible, but had we not, he would have been named for Old Stonewall.

Now admittedly, that was over half a century ago, but I wondered how many Southern folks today would even dare to consider naming their son after any kind of Confederate personality for fear of being labeled “racist”? It’s okay for folks to name their kids after African terrorists, but don’t you dare name your kid Robert E. Lee, Thomas Jonathan Jackson or Jo Shelby because then you’re a racist–and worst of all–a white racist! And we have bought into this two-tiered system of racism just like we’ve bought into the two-tiered system of “justice” in this country.

I’ve mentioned this before in several articles, how one time traveling through eastern Kansas, where you can still smell John Brown, I ran across a lady from some college there, who tried to explain to me why J.E.B. Stuart, a Christian Southern cavalry commander, was a terrorist. Of course she didn’t consider John Brown a terrorist by any means. I’m sure to her Brown was a saint that walked on water. For her, anyone that fought for the South would have been a terrorist. You can begin to see why I don’t care for eastern Kansas! There’s probably lots of good folks in eastern Kansas who have been lied to about our history just like the rest of us have, but some of the more rabid ones you can’t even talk to.

A while back we had a man in our church who had named his two sons after Confederate generals and when we were living still in Illinois, I worked with a man who had named his son Forrest after Bedford Forrest. But I don’t hear about much of that kind of thing anymore. I always felt it was kind of a tribute to our Confederate heritage that folks named their sons after well-known Confederates. I know the political left considers such a sin of “White racism” but, then, the leftists consider anything they don’t agree with as White racism. It would seem the current far left regime in power feels the same way. To them the Confederacy was treasonous and every vestige of it needs to be erased from our memories forever. That’s why they’ve got their “renaming” commissions out there taking Confederate names off everything in sight and renaming things with names they deem favorable to the radical left. I’m waiting for the day when they will start renaming battlefields, especially battlefields where the South won the battle (of which there were many) with the names of some of Abe Lincoln’s Marxist generals! I don’t know if it will happen, God forbid, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

We are in a situation currently in this country where the left is in control and they are busily trying to ram their political and theological sewage down our throats while telling us it is caviar and we’d better learn how to enjoy it. We are supposed to have an election next year. Whether we will or not is an interesting question at this point. Some are saying it won’t happen. Other are saying the Democrats will steal it again like they did in 2020. Or maybe they will just arrest Trump and let the Republican Establishment find another flunky to run in his place–someone who sounds conservative, but who they and the Democrats can control.
​
If either of these scenarios transpires we may have an “election” that is not truly an election, but rather a political dog and pony show. And names being what they are, what name would you give a situation like that?

I got some interesting information off Gene Kizer’s website Charleston Athenaeum Press, website that many of you all are familiar with. Gene noted that 44% of our military traditionally come from the South. Bearing this in mind, this year, the army will end up about 15,000 shy of the necessary recruits for the year. The navy will end up about 10,000 short of its required goal, and the air force will end up around 3,000 short of its goal. There are several reasons for this.

One reason is the Biden/Obama Regime’s strong emphasis on “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” a radical leftist program that is radically short on the “inclusion” end when it comes to straight white males and long on the inclusion end when it comes to sodomites, lesbians and trans-sexuals, and others of the drag queen crowd. This is what the current regime wants. Whereas Communist China is preparing its army for war, our military leadership is preparing our military for the acceptance of sexual perversion in a grand way–and that’s their main goal. And due to Biden’s soft on China policy don’t expect him to change any of this. His main purpose is placating China so those Biden family checks will continue to come from Beijing! To say that Biden has been thoroughly co-opted is but to stress the obvious.

But there may be another and equally important reason why recruitment is down. Lots of Southern young men have watched as the current regime has labeled their Confederate forefathers as traitors–and this has been going on for three years running now so the effect is beginning to get cumulative. All we hear from this elite regime is how bad those nasty Confederates were and how they fought a whole war only so they could keep their slaves and for no other reason!

And if you watch Fox News you will soon find out that this is the one area they and the Biden/Obama Regime are in total agreement on. I’ve watched some of their discussions on Fox from time to time and when it comes to any discussion of the War of Northern Aggression, you’d think the Fox pundits learned their history of that War from Howard Zinn!

They talk about how the North fought to free the slaves–Southern slaves–while the slaves in Union states remained in bondage–a topic they conveniently ignore. So you get this “evil Southerners” tripe from both sides of the political spectrum! The Fox News people should know better–but they don’t seem to, or if they do they won’t admit it! Maybe we’ve finally reached some kind of point where Southern young folks are beginning to wake up and realize that all this regime really wants is enough Southern kids to fill the body bags when we finally do find someone to fight against and they really are not having anymore of that. Let the elites send their kids to die in no-win wars around the world! After all, if our forefathers were traitors as you’ve been telling us for three years now, why would you be interested in us?


Or is your thinking–let those Southern Crackers go and get killed so the likes of Hunter Biden and his associates can stay safe and comfortable? If that’s the thinking of the current crop of elites, then I would not blame Southern young folks if they said en masse, “We’re tired of being the targets for those you claim to hate (but really adore) so you can look good at election time.” Say what you will about Donald Trump, he kept our young folks out of harm’s way when it came to foreign wars for his entire term and he didn’t have to stoop to calling our young folks’ ancestors traitors while doing it!

​This whole stupid charade of taking Confederate names off of everything in sight is about as genuine as Elizabeth Warren’s Indian ancestry and twice as insidious! The next time this country gets into a shooting no-win war, instead of expecting Southerners to bail you out, go find some Yankees to do it–and don’t be surprised when it doesn’t happen! After all, you’ve gone out of your way to insult all the Southern folks, so why should they stick up for you???

Well, today is June 19th, the much ballyhooed day all the country is now supposed to remember and celebrate–the fabled and wonderful “Juneteenth.” On this day, in 1865, Yankee troops entered Galveston, Texas and informed the slaves there that they were free. Only one minor problem here–the Yankee troops had no authority to make such a statement. Nor was it official.

If you look back at the history, none of the slaves, including those held in slave states that remained in the Union, and there were five such states, were officially freed until the passage of the 13th Amendment late in 1865, sometime in December of that year. Until that time all the slaves everywhere were, officially, still slaves.

So all this noise about Juneteenth is a lot of noise and hoopla signifying nothing! If they want to have a day set aside to commemorate the freeing of the slaves then it should probably be in December on the anniversary of the passage of the 13th Amendment. But for some, that would be too close to Christmas and so it would lose much of its propaganda impact, which is really what this is all about.

This is just one more day designed to show the evil of Southern slavery. Northern slavery is never mentioned or acknowledged. That five slave states–Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, remained, for one reason or another, as part of the Union is almost never mentioned. Nor is the fact that in these states there remained over 400,000 slaves while the Union was supposed, so they tell us, to be fighting to liberate Southern slaves.

I’ve often asked the question why, if the North was supposed to be fighting to free the slaves as we’ve been told over and over, why didn’t they first free those slaves in slave states in the Union? No one wants to answer that question and so it just gets ignored. Truth is, they can’t answer it, because if they did they would have to admit, somewhere along the line, that the war was really not about freeing the slaves, it was about other issues. And they can’t admit that because it would throw their entire narrative about the war into a cocked hat!

So they continue to ignore the question hoping no one will notice, and they try to fill the void of their empty narrative with “holidays” like Juneteenth in the hope that no one will see the gaping holes in their story. And they may get by with this for awhile, but eventually, the veneer will wear off and they will have to come up with yet another pseudo-holiday that will, like Juneteenth, be lots of noise signifying nothing!

Attendance at the World Economic Forum conference in Davos is by invitation only. Nobody just stops in to see what’s going on there because no one is supposed to know except those invited there by Klaus Schwab and the elites. One site I looked at listed some of them, but I got a list from another site that listed all of them from the United States, as well as other countries.
​
The meeting this year was held in early January. I’ve noted in the past that both presidential candidate Nikki Haley and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, who might yet end up being a presidential candidate, had connections with the World Economic Forum. So when someone gets an invite to this exclusive political bash, you have to wonder why.

Former President Trump attended when he was president, but not now. It seems that US presidents get an invite to this because one article I read from Newsweek noted all those that had skipped going when they were president, notably Obama, the two Bush’s and China Joe–all Council on Foreign Relations members or surrogates. I suppose on those years they didn’t attend they were not to receive any marching orders from Schwab.

According to an article on Technocracy News & Trends the WEF predicts that “private property and privacy will vanish by 2030.” The article notes that, for the WEF, “free markets and individual choice do not stand as the top values, but state interventionism and collectivism. Individualism and private property are to disappear from this planet by 2030 according to the projections and scenarios coming from the World Economic Forum. Individual liberty is at risk again. What may lie ahead was projected in November 2016 when the WEF published ‘8 predictions for the world in 2030’… The scenario for the world in 2030 is more than just a forecast. It is a plan whose implementation has accelerated drastically since the announcement of a pandemic and the consequent lockdown.”

The timing almost makes you wonder if the pandemic was part of this plan all along! Have the Demons of Davos been working overtime, or were they just getting impatient? There is an article on the WEF page, under the Society and Equity heading for 4/26/23 that says “Agenda 2030: why civic participation is key to meeting UN sustainability targets.” The article notes: “Attacks on civil society and civic freedoms are threatening adequate progress being made on meeting the UN Sustainable Goals ( SDG’s). Agenda 2030 marks a rare moment of global unanimity with an emphasis of economic advancement, social progress and environmental sustainability.” You have to understand that these people don’t mean the same thing by these nice-sounding euphemisms that we do. If they are opposed to private property that also means they are opposed to private businesses. In other words, they want governmental control of property and business. There is no “economic advance” at all in such a system. In fact it is a step backwards, but they hope you don’t grasp that fact.

There is another article on the World Economic Forum site called “The Great Reset” which notes that “global stakeholders” in noting the consequences of the pandemic have started, via the World Economic Forum, something called the “Great Reset Initiative.” Some of you reading this will know about the Great Reset, and if you do, please feel free to comment about it in the comment section below my article. It is not something the average person should look forward to. So the WEF has an agenda that is anti-freedom and anti-private property. And its founder, Klaus Schwab is the person who says we should give up eating meat and start eating insects in order to save the planet. So what does that do to farmers and cattlemen? Take a wild guess! You have to wonder if Brother Schwab plans to do wat he advocates for the rest of us. My guess would be he doesn’t.

Anyway, enough of that. You should realize by now that the WEF is a major promoter of one world government, and not above using the United Nations to promote its leftist agenda. And in that effort it has invited some major US political figures to possibly be willing to partake of WEF’s efforts to promote world government. I can’t predict what these folks will ultimately do, but the fact they were invited to this WEF meeting says the WEF fondly hopes they share its globalist world view, without letting the folks back home know where they are really at.

Some of the people invited to this meeting were: John Kerry, Samantha Power, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, Arizona Senator Krysten Sinema, Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher from Wisconsin, Marian Walsh, Secretary of Labor, Avril Haines U.S. Director of National Intelligence, James Risch Senator from Idaho, Maria Elvira Salazer Republican Congresswoman from Florida. This isn’t the whole list but it will give you some idea of the kind of people that get invited to a WEF conference. And I must admit, I wonder why these people? What does the WEF see in these particular people that it wants them at its conference? Do these folks harbor one world government tendencies that we’ve never been told about? Will they be willing to participate in some way in a one world government agenda? I think they need to be asked about that–especially the senators and congresspersons. We need to know just where they are really coming from. Do they take their oaths to uphold the Constitution seriously–or are they–in fact–some of the one world government Demons from Davos?

I’ve written about this subject before, but not recently, and people nowadays seem to have a tendency to forget much of what they once learned. Our attention span as a people seems to be about seven minutes–the time between commercials on most television stations. What went on beyond the last commercial we often don’t remember too well. And for something we learned yesterday, forget it. It’s long gone!

What made me think of this was something I saw on the internet while looking for something else. I came across a site that said of Abraham Lincoln that he was the first “republican, Christian president.” Knowing what I know about Lincoln that almost made me choke!

Lincoln was supposedly raised in a strict Baptist family. There has even been some question in some circles about his ancestry. Some have claimed he was born in North Carolina where his mother was a servant of the Enloe family. I saw a short booklet about that once. Don’t know if that’s still among my research material or not.

Be that as it may, Lincoln never joined any church. As a young man he was noted as a skeptic and even noted for ridiculing Christian preachers and revivalists. Many who knew him for years like William Herndon and Ward Lamon rejected the idea that he was a believing Christian. Even his wife also said, at one point, that “Mr. Lincoln was not a technical Christian.”

James Adams 1783-1843, called Lincoln a deist. Lincoln was reported to have authored a manuscript that challenged orthodox Christianity and was taken from the ideas of unbeliever Thomas Paine. Some writers have pooh-poohed this but I have read enough about it to think it may well be true. Supposedly a friend after reading it, took it and threw it into the stove, telling Lincoln it would ruin his political ambitions–and in his day it would have. Today, in our apostate age, he might have gotten by with it, but not back then.

According to The Gospel Coalition, they say of Lincoln: “Well, the truth of the matter is that he was not. He was exposed to Christian influences all his life. He worked with Christian people…but Lincoln never joined a church, never was actively involved in any kind of Christian organization, in fact, had only most minimal religious profile in his own day.” When someone asked his law partner, William Herndon, about Lincoln’s religious faith, Herndon replied to the man “The less said about that the better.”

Donnie Kennedy and I had a chapter in our book Lincolns Marxists about how a freethinker viewed Lincoln. The freethinker was Col. Robert Ingersoll. This freethinker led the charge in defending Lincoln against the charge of being a Christian and instead argued that he was a freethinker. Freethinkers include atheists and agnostics. Christians they are not. I even read one place, and I did an article on this, where Lincoln was reported to be a Rosicrucian. But, then too, some evangelicals have claimed him. All the research I have done over the years has led me to the conclusion that Lincoln was far removed from the orthodox Christian faith.

The War of Northern Aggression (aka the Civil War) had many reasons, economic (tariffs), constitutional (states rights), and even conspiratorial. There were certain people, both north and South of Mason-Dixon that had as their objective the destruction of the Constitutional Republic the Founders gave us. Abraham Lincoln was one of these. And the idea of a One World Government was not new, even in 1860.

However, most books written about the War studiously avoid dealing with the theological implications involved. Either their authors are unaware of those or they hope their readers are. And then, books on the theological aspects of the War do not sell nearly as well as books about battles and personalities.

Northern “historians” which predominate in our day want nothing to do with the theological issues, because those issues tend to cast the North in a less than glamourous light. Fighting to “free the slaves” sounds oh so much better than fighting to defend apostate religious views does. So Northern historians want nothing to do with the theological issues except for their own theology, which, though they may not even realize it, is steeped in radical Unitarianism. To ignore the theological issues is to ignore the real reasons that men like Lee and Jackson fought–and it wasn’t to defend slavery! The thought of going to war so your neighbor down the road apiece could keep his 20 slaves would have been reprehensible to them. And peddling such political pap does most of your Southern fighting men a grave disservice. Though that seems to be where the “enlightened” thinking seems to reside in our day. Forgive me, but such truncated thinking is a long way from “enlightened!”

If history today is accurately read (almost an exercise in futility) it will show that in the three decades before the War the North had become saturated with Unitarian thought while the South was leaning more and more toward orthodox Christian thinking–what today we call Reformed Theology. The South produced theologians of the caliber of James Henley Thornwell, Robert L. Dabney, and Benjamin Morgan Palmer while the North was producing apostates like Henry Ward Beecher, Theodore Parker, and Thomas Wentworth Higginson–the man who was “always ready to invest money in treason.” So there was a distinct theological cleavage between North and South!

​For the average Southerner there was a distinct belief in God’s sovereignty and man’s complete dependence on God for his salvation through Jesus Christ. Southern preachers had warned their congregations against “extreme confidence in human nature” and against the Unitarian mindset where “each man is his own Christ.” The Southern biblical worldview was completely at variance with the Unitarian-inspired thinking of much of the North. Besides, the abolitionist thinking in the North was tainted with sort of a “one world” aura that reeked of internationalism. Abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison had said his country was “the world” and he was into the Feminist Movement and spiritualism of his day.

So the theological climate in the North was far removed from the orthodox Christian faith–and some of the conspirators I took note of earlier had a plan to subvert orthodox Christianity in the South and replace it with a more Scofieldian version which was famous for its neutrality toward evil. For a bit more reflection, read my 4/9/2016 article The War Didn’t End At Appomattox.

For a little recreation, instead of following the news channels, I put on the Western movie channel and watched Outlaw Joey Wales. I’ve seen it several times before but it is always good for a little recreation and there is a certain amount of truth to it .It was a Western/Southern that Clint Eastwood made back in 1976, I think, and if I am correct, he never made another Western until 1985. I can recall thinking after watching it several years ago that I wonder if Hollyweird warned Eastwood about making anymore movies like it, lest his film career suffer for it. I read the book it was taken from by Forrest Carter. Needless to say the book wasn’t exactly like the movie–but then they seldom are.

A couple places in the movie often struck me as not all that far from the truth. One was after the Confederate guerillas surrendered when, after they had been fed, they were just massacred by the Union troops–or as Redleg Jim Lane said in the movie “They were decently fed and decently shot!” It reminded me of what happened when Jesse James answered the federal amnesty and came into surrender to the Yankee troops. Instead of taking his surrender they shot him! So it would seem that their pleas of amnesty to Southerners were, in many cases, little more than an excuse to get them in pistol range! After that incident Jesse James never surrendered again–and can you blame him?

Another place in the movie that was of interest was when the Cherokee, Lone Watie told Josey Wales about his trip to Washington where they were met by the Secretary of the Interior. The Cherokees in that instance complained about all the land the federal government had stolen off them, which was considerable in real life. In the movie the Interior Secretary’s reply to them was, and I never forgot this, was “Endeavor to persevere.!” Which was a polite way of saying “Don’t worry about what we stole from you because you ain’t ever getting it back again.!”

​This was one of the few movies I have seen over the years that didn’t seek to paint all Southern folks as inhuman, racist monsters, totally addicted to fighting to preserve slavery. In fact slavery was never even mentioned in the movie – and the Kansas Redlegs were actually pictured as what they were – murderers of folks in Missouri they disagree with! I can see why Hollyweird didn’t want too many movies like this that hinted at the truth of what the Kansas Redlegs, of whom Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill were both members, actually did. You are not supposed to know this, as it interferes with the leftist lies about what the War of Northern Aggression was really all about.

Another movie that made it into the theaters for only a brief time was the “Civil War” movie Ride With the Devil directed by Ang Lee, who was originally from Formosa I am told. That being the case, he didn’t have lots of politically correct swill to wade through about the War. He painted a fairly accurate picture of the Northern invasion of Missouri and how the Missourians tried to resist that. You have a hard time finding this movie anymore. It only made it into theaters for about three weeks before Hollyweird realized what they had on their hands and pulled it! They gave Ang Lee another movie to direct that he won an academy award for to pacify him for pulling Ride With The Devil. The movie showed a black man riding with the Confederate guerillas–a definite no-no for today’s movies! In truth, you had whites, blacks, American Indians and Mexicans who were all part of various Confederate units–but you are not supposed to know that! You are supposed to believe that it was only about all whites trying to enslave all blacks and nothing else was ever involved–and that is so much bovine fertilizer! The Deep State doesn’t want you to know the truth about that war and its causes anymore than they want you to know the truth about what happened on January 6, 2021! Mull that thought over for awhile. Government liars in the 1860s were no different than they are today, except today they are a bit more sophisticated.

According to a lady interviewed on Fox News recently, many parents are beginning to get fed up with “woke” indoctrination being perpetrated on their children. One place this occurs is in public schools across the country. One way to combat this satanic (and it is satanic) indoctrination is to get your kids out of public schools. While you may not get rid of all of it that way, as you will get some of it on television and in the movies, you will get rid of a large portion of it by getting the kids out of public school.

We have got to get out of our minds the concept that public schools are still institutions of learning. If ever they were, a premise that is doubtful, that time is long since gone by and it will never return. Way too much water under the bridge for that to happen. The public school system is a major indoctrination center for the New World Order and the United Nations–both of which America would be much better off without!

So, what does “woke” really mean? Dictionaries are already defining it as “socially aware of injustice.” Its “revealed truth” is that those who refuse to go along with it are sinners. Daring to question its revealed tenets is a heresy, and those that won’t convert to it must be destroyed. Sounds a lot like the Muslim religion–convert or die! In other words, wokeism is yet one more leftist theological construct. As such it constitutes a false political religion. 

Woke is a collectivist ideology. Collectivist thinking must replace individual thinking. It herds people into “broad classes based on defined characteristics–race, sex, religion. In classic Marxism these groups are defined by economic status. Woke defines them by race and sorts them out by privilege. The color of your skin does indeed define your character–forever…collective thinking denies human’s basic dignity and treats them as mere numbers. Key: it also assigns collective guilt.”

Woke is authoritarian–and also Marxist. Woke defines the world as a mere power arena, where all are at war with all others. The name of the game is, basically, who will be “King of the hill?” Woke defines the dominant class as “white supremacy.” Everyone else is a victim of white supremacy! If something exists, it is ripe for destruction.

​Woke is totalitarian. Everything is political. No one is allowed to be neutral. Everything is either an instrument of oppression or an instrument of struggle for the victims of oppression. Anything goes! Like the Maoist Red Guards, the woke believers use their religion to empower themselves by pulling down anyone and anything that catches their attention. Students are allowed to destroy their teachers. Players to destroy their coaches. Colleges then pull down statues of their founders because some of those founders happened to be slaveowners in an era when that was not frowned on. Any of this sound familiar to you all? Woke means an intolerant, revolutionary, collectivist ideology of power that’s at war with all society, and, yes, it’s explicitly racist.” Of course it parades itself as being vehemently anti-racist, which is absolute fertilizer. Woke is not anti-racist–it is antiwhite! Just one more fake, leftist religion!

What do you do if you want to rewrite the history books to remove anything or anyone you disagree with? First, you brand those in opposition to you as traitors to your agenda. Having done that, you then take the next step, which is to totally remove them from the history books and shove them down George Orwell’s “Memory Hole.” Out of sight, out of mind, you reason. Future generations must not be aware of these people or the causes they stood for because, after all, you disagree with them, and so they need to disappear.

This is being done in this country to a large degree regarding the War of Northern Aggression aka the “Civil War.” Those that are doing this are the heirs of the French Revolution. That war was this country’s French Revolution–and we have yet to recover from it. If we continue in our present direction, we never will–and the radical socialists and communists will have won.

I received two letters from good friends who are Southern patriots this week. Interestingly, both were from Oklahoma, though I doubt these two know one another. One dealt with the expunging of all things Confederate from West Point–all memorabilia, statues, plaques, anything that honors or mentions anyone Confederate. That would have to include Robert E. Lee, who served as president of West Point for a period of time. So what do you do with the history of West Point while General Lee ran it? You just ignore that. As far as you are concerned that never happened. So the Deep State socialists, after branding Lee a traitor - which he wasn’t - will now attempt to remove any memory of him from West Point! Down the memory hole!

The other letter dealt with the same situation regarding Arlington National Cemetery removing the memory of anyone Confederate. That cemetery is on land once owned by Robert E. –well, you know– someone we can’t talk about anymore because the Deep State socialists don’t like him!

One has to wonder what will be substituted for real history when the removal of the memory of anything Confederate is completed. Who will the Northern armies have gone into combat with at Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Pittsburgh Landing, Elkhorn tavern, –phantom armies from a period of history that now exists only in the Memory Hole? This seems to be where we are headed.

​Our “history” if it can even be called such anymore, is being rewritten by radical socialists who are busily removing everything they don’t agree with. “Civil War” -  what Civil War? Robert E. Lee, who was he anyway??? Radical socialists and communists in the North, including many in Lincoln’s administration and his armies? Well, no way Jose, it just didn’t happen! Who told you that anyway? Must have been some “conspiracy theorist!” Older history books that mention all this, just pay them no mind. Toss them out and read one of the “new” history books that will give you the real scoop on all the stuff we say never happened.

That’s where we are at, folks. Down with the old - even though much of it is accurate – and up with the new–even though most of it is historical fertilizer! After all, the Deep State, via their public school system, has a generation to indoctrinate, but not to educate! At some point the truth will catch up with them. But they can’t see that far ahead. All truth is God’s truth and will be vindicated at some point – even if most of us will not live to see it.

Lots of our congress critters have learned how to keep getting re-elected. Just fool their constituencies into believing they are something they really are not. And it must work because many of them get continually voted back into office by doing it.
I will give one example I have noted here in past years. A senator from one of our western states was returned to the Senate many times because he always voted against any new gun control bills that came up. On every other issue the guy was a raving socialist. I don’t bother calling them liberals anymore because a liberal is only a slow socialist who hasn’t made it all the way to socialism yet, but he’s working on it.

At any rate, this man knew that if he just voted right on gun control then he could vote left on any other issue and the folks back home would never know the difference because almost no one back there even looked at those other issues. Anyone who bothered to check out voting records would have known in five minutes or less that this man was a socialist pretending to be conservative. Unfortunately this man was far from the only phony to pull this scam on the folks back home.

Researcher Arthur R. Thompson has noted and written about the same thing. Mr. Thompson wrote in To the Victor go the Myths and Monuments that: “Another problem Americans have is that they cannot see through men who profess to be Christians selling them something that is anti-Christ. All throughout the history of America, including the present day, men will stand and profess Christianity and in the next instant promote some aspect of international socialism. It is usually subtle, a small step, but ultimately leads to the New World Order, the professed goal of international socialism. A modern example was a prominent governor who courted the pro-life movement at the same time he engaged in activities that would have led to the merger of North America into one nation, which would destroy the Constitution and independence of the American people. Likewise, he was known to have attended a Bilderberg meeting of internationalists who want more U.S. involvement and entanglements leading to a total subjugation of America to the United Nations…So a politician can make it appear that he is conservative to gain support, especially a social conservative, and still promote the New World Order, which in the long run would negate everything he professes to be for or against–and too many do this with intent.”

I recall yet another case right here in Louisiana where a man was running for the senate and making wide professions as to his Christianity. Someone who knew him once asked him “When did you become so religious?” To which he is said to have replied “When I needed the votes.”

Unfortunately, in our day, one of the main things missing from the “whole armor of God” for most Christians is discernment in political issues. Something we critically need to be able to do is to begin to check the voting records of those running for offices, especially at the national level. The New American magazine publishes, I can’t recall if its only twice a year or more often, in their excellent magazine, something called “The Conservative Index” which lists ten critical issues that both House and Senate have had to vote on recently and it tells you how all senators and representatives voted on all those ten issues and it grades them all on how they voted. Those with the highest scores are the most conservative while those with scores hovering in continuous low numbers are basically socialists. This is one thing I always check out when it appears because I want to know how all our legislators from Louisiana voted, but I check out other states also.

The important thing about this is that it gives you at a glance some idea of where all the elected representatives for the whole country are at - something we need to be aware of if we are to cast an intelligent vote. This is the kind of information the socialist Democrats and some socialist Republicans would like to see ignored as it shows them up for what they really are and they’d just as soon you didn’t know that. For those who can afford it the New American is $49 per year and a good investment to keep you up to snuff on what goes on in this country.
