![]() Dear reader, you must take a look at the documentary “The Fall of Minneapolis,” easy to find online. It was created by a rare honest reporter who left Minneapolis television because she was not allowed to ask questions about the George Floyd case. The reporter, Liz Collins, also has a book, They Lied. George Floyd, a violent, drug-addicted felon in dangerously bad health, died in police custody of a heart attack after being apprehended for a robbery. His story became immediately international news - with a video of a white policeman holding him down while he was saying he could not breathe. The story presented and still being presented to the public was that White cops had murdered poor George Floyd. The news media adopted this narrative immediately and persistently. The police, at Floyd’s request, had taken him from the squad car and laid him out flat to aid his breathing while waiting for an ambulance that went to the wrong address. The criminal was being held down by the White cop with a method that had long been standard in the police manual. We might say that American history changed that day. This incident became a worldwide exhibit of heinous systematic racism in American society. Riots, unpoliced by the city, destroyed 1,500 Minneapolis businesses. They were copied everywhere. American corporations funded Black Lives Matter, which is now exposed as a corrupt money-making machine for its leaders. George Floyd got a gold statue and an athletic field named for him. His “family,” in which he had never shown any interest and which had never shown any interest in him, got over a million dollars in public money. But that is not the least of it. The governor (recently the Democratic candidate for vice-president of the U.S), the state attorney general, the mayor, and the police chief LIED to keep the false narrative of murder and racism going. Even worse, they manipulated the justice system with the cooperation of a sympathetic judge. Defense evidence was systematically excluded from the trials of the police officers - the police body camera material, the original autopsy which showed death by heart attack. And the relevant part of the police manual somehow disappeared. The scene was arranged to intimidate the jury so that they feared for their lives if they found the police innocent. The respected cop accused of the “murder” is serving a prison sentence that will last till his old age. Other officers at the scene, one of them an African American, also received prison sentences. The politicians and the media readily sacrificed ordinary law officers for their false narrative. What we learn from this is the utter corruption of the national media and the “blue” state political establishment. They want to impose their perverted view of the world on us. They hate us and consider themselves to be a gifted elite to rule over the masses. Minneapolis is deteriorating as might be expected. Crime has boomed to previously unknown levels. In a year carjackings went from one to 200, nearly all unpunished. Some 40% of the police have resigned, and you can bet they are the best part of the force. Minnesotans are leaving their beautiful State for boring Iowa. As one who lived through the “civil rights” era, I am tempted to say to Minnesotans, “Good, you are getting some of what you deserve.” At that time Minnesota was about 98% white and its leaders were at the forefront of applying federal force to change the multi-racial South into a form that they virtuously wanted. Leaders like Humphrey, Mondale, McCarthy. (I have wondered why Minnesota, which is not a particularly large state in population, has had so many politicians in the vicinity of the White House right up to the dubious Walz.) It is tempting to say to Minnesota, "You deserve it." But perhaps that is a bit unfair. There are plenty of good people there. Much of the rural state shows red.

I’m currently 20 minutes away from where the Yankee army imprisoned President Davis for almost two years. Drove right by it twice tonight. Perhaps it’s true what W.J. Cash said about the South. The bulldozer did more to destroy the South than Sherman’s army. Well, let me add air condition and defense spending. The rest is history as they say.

To hell with them. Confederate monuments still sit at the Richmond sewage. The NC General Assembly, with a full proof override veto, refused to restore the Confederate monuments to the State Capitol grounds. To hell with them, too. As America collapses, I’m happy to watch it burn. Some of yall are good for when the lights are on. Others of us have too much Martin Gary in us. And don’t forget, there was no 1876 victory without him. With that said, I prefer a world where men like Hampton are the norm. But the more we drift towards totalitarian democracy, the worse the correction must be. What must be done will make Minneapolis and 2020 seem like cupcakes-instead of a medieval apocalypse. The Red Shirts will one day ride again. Wait until the Supreme Court loses its flaky conservative majority because of the changed demographics. Your guns, Bibles, etc. all gone. I wish it would not come to this…but coming soon, there will be a war paint redemption. Cry havoc and unleash the whirlwind.

Don't expect Republicans, including Rand Paul to come to the aid of the demonized and wrongly punished Derek Chauvin.

One of our two carpetbagger Senators here in Virginia is Tim Kaine. He was Hillary's VP running mate against Trump in the first Trump election. Kaine is from Minnesota. His son was arrested in Minneapolis-St. Paul for rioting with ANTIFA. Blood will tell, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Dr. Wilson, forgive me for hijacking your post here, but it's better than you feeling any sense of having to respond via email.(or even here). But, I just came back from the Jamestown Settlement (the living history version). I'm writing you because you said one of your ancestors fought with Nathaniel Bacon.
