“The mark of the civilized intelligence is one of perpetual salvage.” - Allen Tate


I am not a gambling man, but I am betting we will never see those “Epstein files.”


Opposing Israel’s war against the Palestinians is antisemitic. But, as far as I can figure out, aren’t the Palestinians Semitic too?


September 23 was the tenth anniversary of the incorporation of Shotwell Publishing. I would say that enterprise is a success. We have published more than 100 unapologetic Southern books by some of the best Southern writers - the Kennedys, James Kibler, Karen Stokes, Catharine Brosman, Jack Trotter, Randy Ivey, Joe Scotchie, Joe Stromberg and others. Most of the work has been uncompensated volunteering. We sure ain’t getting rich, but so far we are paying our way. Would be nice if somebody would take notice.


Hitler praised Lincoln. Churchill praised Lee. QED to “Southern” Alt-Rightists.


A regime that punishes “hate speech” cannot be considered free or the home of free speech and press. A good government’s laws are concerned with actions, not words. Government censors never want to censor falsehoods. They want to censor truths that are harmful to them.


Unless Trump massively cleans out the CIA, his campaign against the Deep State will be a complete loss.
 

Those of us who were hopeful about Trump are facing serious disappointment. Yet it is hard to know what is really going on when every “news” story is negative rather than informative.


We are now seeing horrible crimes committed by felons who have been repeatedly released on the public by local authorities. It was reported that the Charlotte murderer had been arrested 14 times and continually let go. There are at least two main causes here. 1) our large city governments are in the power of people who are both incompetent and corrupt. 2) local law enforcement has been damaged by the foreign Communist billionaire George Soros funding interference with election of prosecutors and other law officials. In this situation, Americans cannot be called a free people, and you and I are subject to the dangers of a failure of law and order.


We are no longer a self-governing people any more than were the people of the old Soviet Union.

And what about the "law" signed by Ca. Governor requiring ICE agents not to wear mask. Sounds like aiding and abbetting criminals and endangering people's lives.

Congratulations on Shotwell Publishing's 10-year anniversary! Just today, I purchased 2 pdf versions of Confederate Poets & Poems.

Since RECKONIN' is an educational and family outlet, I won't share my thoughts on the recent Charlotte murder. However, I do blame the Radical Republicans.

Mr. LeBeau, Republicans are now claiming to be against the leftist regime we have been living under. But the majority of Republicans supported every bad law that has been imposed for the destruction of society. Not to mention Republicans on the Supreme Court. The average Republican congressperson is ignorant, shallow, and self-serving, created by a machine that is interested in advertising rather than issues.

I have read that the judge who released the Charlotte murderer most recently is the Chief Operating Officer of the privately-owned, publicly-funded treatment center the murderer was assigned to in lieu of prison time. Corruption everywhere.

Here's the latest from the Israeli war on the Palestinians: Trump and Netanyahu - joined at the hip - have come to an agreement between themselves. If Hamas, the Palestinian elected government of the Gaza ghetto, disarms, there will be peace in the land that was taken from the Palestinians by the Israelis. Here is Kipling's view for the Palestinians to consider:

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

"Unless Trump massively cleans out the CIA, his campaign against the Deep State will be a complete loss."
Like Trump and Netanyahu, the CIA and MOSSAD are joined at the hip. Together, they have overcome the Second Law of Thermodynamics and created a "perpetual motion machine" with the "War on Terror," which gives wealth and job security to the military/industrial/security/ banking complex at the expense of the taxpayers. If taxpayer enthusiasm to begins to flag, then the CIA and MOSSAD merely go out and orchastrate another "false flag terrorist attack" to keep the perpetual motion machine in motion.
Trump has his work cut out for him if he wants to clean up that.
