Picture
A man wearing a John Brown t-shirt sits at a table with a sign reading "Charlie Kirk deserved it." University of Nebraska, Sept 11, 2025.

Satan is real. Its greatest asset is making you think it does not exist.

 
Are there still people going on about how wonderful Ronald Reagan was? In domestic policy he betrayed every promise he made. Under his watch expenditures increased and the national debt tripled. He gave citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens. He signed the Martin Luther King Holiday while hinting he really didn’t want to. Did his Star Wars really cause the Soviet Union to fail, as is claimed? Or did Communism make its own failure?


He had a wife into witchcraft, a Playmate daughter, and a toe-dancing son. He pretended in debate to be a schoolmaster correcting Jimmy Carter, who, whatever you think of him, was a more intelligent and a better man. Worst of all, he foisted the Bush family on the country, giving them 12 years of the worst Presidency in history.

 
The violent rhetoric and assassinations being perpetrated today against conservatives are exact copies of the hate and murder committed against Southerners by abolitionists in the 1850s. They are from the same Yankee culture and personalities. They are hate and aggression to fill empty souls and prevent issues from being solved reasonably.

 
It is argued lately that the U.S. really did not need to drop the atom bomb on Japan to end World War II, that they were ready to surrender. I would like to see the evidence for this. While use of the bomb was one of the most horrible events in human history, I am willing to be grateful for the saving of many thousands of American lives.


And how sad that the U.S. government, rather than Germany or Japan, is now the aggressive power bombing the world.

Let's remember that King and his Civil Rights movement fought for the unconstitutional expansion of federal power and promoted violence and disorder. Conservatives who make a hero out of this man undermines the conservative cause.

Dr. Wilson, I remember your saying/quoting a few years back that history may not always repeat itself, but it often rhymes. We're not living in the 1850's or '60s, but I have not been able to wonder what the "John Brown Moment" would be that would potentially be the last straw. From what I remember about that incident, as a Southerner, you could have been pro or anti-slavery, but once you heard about the reaction to Brown's terrorism and murder, you understood that you were hated and there was no room for you in their vaunted Union!

Of course, we're not merely divided between North and South (Although we do indeed still have a "Yankee problem"!) any longer, but all of us roughly in Flyover Country now ought to realize that they hate us; there is no more good in pretending!

God help us!

That picture of that hateful miserable old man wearing that ugly John Brown shirt still wearing his stupid mask (indicating he's a easily led, frightened government boot licking sheep) saying that Charlie Kirk deserved what was done to him.....is just more evidence that we are on the right side of history.

Wearing a murdering, child killing John Brown t-shirt - and I'll safely wager he's all for the cross dressing, pedophiles parading around in front of little kids, and the killing of the unborn.

People like him and his fellow evil minions are the real lost cause.

God bless Charlie Kirk and his family for their bravery and sacrifice made in standing up for freedom and Christian principles in a world that is in great need of repentance.

Is this the real Josh? If this is the real Josh, let me speak about you. I gloat that people are being doxxed and losing their jobs. Look what you got fired from in Alabama!!!! And look what the Leftists say and do!!! Think about the ones who have celebrated Charlie’s death and have not been fired!!!

They didn’t care how you would support your family. But now they want to defend free speech to celebrate a man’s murder!!! A fig for them! Remember Josh!!!

I remember Josh. Josh never said a bad word about anyone. He was soft-spoken. Said kind words to everyone. Was a nice, descent Christian man. But merely because he defended secession and his kith, kin, land, and Faith he had to be fired! In Alabama! But these Left wing nuts are allowed to celebrate the murder of Charlie Kirk under the guise of free speech!!!

You doxxed and fired a great man. But you can dance and celebrate the murder of a great Christian man. It is a John Brown moment. There is no going back. We are on the cliff. Half of America no longer just wants us doxxed, they want us dead!

Next time some one says free speech, say remember Josh!!! You didn’t give a damn about freedom of assembly with Josh. So I don’t give a damn about your so called freedoms! This is our land!

Very good, as always. Once the defiant wake up and form rump states, in order to survive they will need to temper "democracy," sort of their demographics, eliminate the fake debts, and end the wicked subservience to zionism and liberalism.

As for WWII, by 1945, Japan was all but defeated, contained, deindustrialized, and starved for oil. They offered to surrender on essentially the same terms they were given in the end, after the A-bombings. And there were no operational plans for any "million-man" invasion, the hobgoblin foisted as the reason for the bombings' necessity. See: https://ihr.org/journal/v16n3p-4_Weber.html

Also, the National Archives keeps the diplomatic records, and the Navy's 200K pages of records bear out the lack of an imminent and costly land invasion. Tokyo also knew that with China secured, the Russians were available to multiply the pressure exerted by the US.

Big Yankee did it to do it, as much a message to England, France, and the USSR as to Japan. Atlanta on steroids.

I no longer defend free speech. Free speech is dead. The Left doesn’t want free speech. They killed free speech. Charlie Kirk was free speech.

Charlie Kirk was milk toast compared to me. But he died first and foremost a Christian martyr. More so than a political martyr. I find him a hero before death. He stood up to the apostate Jews. He refused to let Israel blackmail him the month before his death. I salute him. He deserves a statue. They murdered a man for merely hosting Oxford style style debates in the open air. We are at war! Screw free speech. You don’t come into home and take it over and claim you have rights!!!

I am no longer John Taylor of Caroline. We have let the fox in the hen house. The fox is now complaining we won’t let it eat us!!! I’m speaking in metaphors. It has used our own constitutional freedoms and Christian kindness to take over our own home!!! No more!!! A line in the sand. I’m sorry that free speech must suffer, but we are in a do or die moment. Our kids and grandkids are at stake!

Now is not the time for unity and coming together as Americans. At least half of America hates us and wants us dead. Now is the time to defend our kith, kin, land, and Faith.

Sadly, we didn’t need Hampton’s Red Shirts to raise awareness and fight back. Charlie died for us. He sacrificed himself for us. I grieve deeply for his family.

Lastly, I see the Trump Administration is going to use his murder as recruitment for the military!!! God forbid!!! Southern White men DO NOT join the military. Our government hates you. It wants you dead. Do not die for globo-homo freedoms.

Charlie, you are inspiring Christian martyr. LORD, forgive us for not having the bravery and faith of Charlie Kirk.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is our John Brown moment. Half of America thinks it’s okay what happened to Charlie. ‘He got what he deserved.’ This is war! Raise your banner. Pray to the LORD and keep your powder dry. Remember Charlie! Defend your kith, kin, land, and Christ!

First you came for Josh. Then you came for Charlie. Next time you will get the Red Shirts!!!

Josh was a nice guy. Charlie was a nice guy. Next time you will face the full whirlwind of the LORD’s fury!!!

Raise the Banner. Declare Christ Jesus Lord, and Savior. Defend your kith, kin, land, and Faith.

John Brown was not a pop-up radical. He had the Money Powers behind him (who scattered like cockroaches when Virginia hanged him). But the Emigrant Aid Society sent "Beecher's Bibles" to Kansas and stoked "Bleeding Kansas," "Bleeding Missouri," and the bloodiest war in the Western Hemisphere.
History rhymes, as Dr. Wilson said, and the "useful idiots" are arming. Carl Higbie, on NEWSMAX last evening, gave a report on the "Socialist Rifle Association" (SRA) forming. ANTIFA already has been burning down cities.
Who were the Money Powers behind John Brown? Who were the Money Powers behind the assassination of JFK? Who wer the Money Powers behind the "enabled" assassination attempt on Donald Trump? Who were the Money Powers behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk? Cui bono? Who benefits? Peace must always be proclaimed, but war is where the money is.
Keep yo' powder dry.
