 The recent trial of the woman who murdered her children in Massachusetts has brought out the usual suspects of the “legal community.” That generic phrase has become the mark of those (and their media comrades) of any group on any topic: “The XYZ community.” The above mentioned “legal community” is always one to listen to if you want to hear an explanation somewhere between drivel and applied ignorance. And so often those with law degrees (who may be everybody on the planet but me) are rushed to a microphone of some talk-show host or hostess when there has passed in the news a trial, or perhaps a stupid law thrown in the hopper by some congressional mental magic or Judges (most of both sects, who are, by my opinion, of the “fool community”) I suspect most have received any law degree they have from Wikipedia. And Wikipedia is about as resourceful as Harvard - or even Ole Miss today. My first complaint (aside from the injustice of the non-verdict) about the trial and subsequent babbling is that during any interview or conversation, the participants almost always and eagerly spout the phrase that all defendants have a RIGHT to a trial by a “jury of their peers.” Most, law degree or “television degree,” partakers, gleefully cheer this contradiction - jury of peers - in the Federal Constitution (which in no case is the “law of the land”) as if it is a stated fact by the Pilgrims or some other historically over-bloated bunch of clowns. The JOP concept has its roots in Section 39 of Magna Carta of 1215. And the terms “peers” and “equals” are used interchangeably. In any event the Federal Constitution uses the phrase “impartial jury” which was studied for good reason. In discussion by those referred to as The Founding Fathers (today the part about fathers is usually dropped for obviously unfit reasons) they concerned themselves that peers or equals, though making sense in one way, might lead to what we call today, a “good ol’ boy system.” Therefore, any right that God might give along these lines would be an honorable (truth regardless of facts) right - hence the concept of impartial. This leads to the point, and the resulting hung jury. A single black man made the only effort to stand up and suggest that impartial justice would be a conclusion that there obviously was no reason other than cold-blooded selfishness for a motive for the murder. Was he the only partial juror? A black bigot. Heavens to Murgatroyd! Opposing him was a packed jury of mean-minded women, who seem to have a subtle hatred of men, and feminine emotions not suited for the job as jurors; emotions imbedded by God for other reasons than judging cold blooded criminals. Salem witch trials in reverse, with the same ending. Women who in the beginning of the American Republic, and its sovereign jurisdictions of states, each of which disallowed women on juries, not due to a lack of intelligence nor because they were not peers (which they weren’t—nor vice versa) but because they would be less than impartial due to emotional overloads for such horrible crimes as that of murdering children. It is this same cause in the name of our so-called great NATIONAL land that women are fighter pilots, soldiers in foxholes, women boxers and innumerable tattooed feminine freaks who are praised as members of the so-called land of the free and the most powerful country in the world.

 Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor is the kind of officer a man would appreciate as a superior; at least to an enlisted man of my vintage of some sixty years ago (USMC). He is also, in my opinion, the kind of officer who in this “modern” era has understood, and apparently still does, the military in most every aspect, from molding fighting MEN (yes! one of the many things he understands) to the deployment of armies regarding most aspects of strategy and the concomitant tactical building blocks of that strategy.
He also seems well-read in the history of both war and politics. He doesn’t seem to accept the well-known dictum by Carl von Clausewitz: “War is the continuation of politics by other means” as a Nineteenth Century model for the United States’ Twentieth Century War Powers Act. Charles Linbergh was a wiser (and better) man than ilk such as Mark Levin. If we have allies, we require treaties with them. Colonel Macgregor also seems to be a well-read student of history and has the greatest measure of economics that drive historical politics and war, with worldwide varieties of those kingdoms and confederacies throughout the world. As a multiple theater combat veteran one would assume he has seen blood and death up close. He doesn’t seem to need the Washington (pretentious) elites to tell him about causes of war or the authority of the government (ours) to engage in them. That last part is written constitutionally (the one in 1787, not the 1781 one), whether or not the above “elites” can read or not. It would not surprise many to learn that many probably can’t, at least in English. Often in the past months Colonel Macgregor has, via You-Tube, Substack, or other media means analyzed the Iran war in terms of fortune and/or a probable finality that the Old Testament prophets would applaud, i.e. it has a doomsday coloring for the U.S. at its end. And that day is straight ahead. As a postscript to his many offerings, he has spoken of the rotted-out Washington Uni-Party and the political disease it has become, and what such disease has done to our American Constitution; or probably more accurately what said constitution has become—a magnificent failure! Colonel Macgregor has offered the opinion that a new constitution is needed because the Washington crowd or the Uni-party (or whatever) has violated the 1787 one to the extent that it might as well have been written in invisible ink. I agree. However, his note of ill-use and corruption is simply a recollection and update of the violation in the disagreement of sovereignty in 1861-65. Colonel Macgregor suggests a new constitution and a “national” one at that. Does he not see that the “unpleasantness” of 1861-65 was what gave us the “national” monster we have today? It was after that sad episode of constitutional corruption that the union became nation, and the Star-Spangled Banner would be discarded in favor of something called a National Anthem. He has said that the constitution of 1787 is outdated. It is. But that has not been caused by a war with Iran but was accomplished by Nineteenth Century political thugs long ago. The corruption today is fostered by the lineage of those same political hacks, liars and bloodletters of yesterday. Some things never change. I agree with Colonel Macgregor that we need a new constitution. But if it is not one of union instead of nation, not one without misunderstanding of sovereignty then it is a waste of time and it too will end on the landfill of corrupt bureaucracy. Remember that the corrupted beast of government we have now under our constitution (article IV, Section 4) guarantees a “republican” form of government to each state: Stand and laugh, and laugh and laugh! But if we create a new national one, we will not have the last laugh. And we won’t be any better off. We’ll just die laughing.  As I get older and closer to checking out, I find it difficult not to laugh at the foolhardy decisions from “public servants” governing the greatly proclaimed: “city on a hill” and its so-called “exceptionalism.” To laugh is the generous first calling for such nonsense, revulsion probably a more appropriate one, at least for many of us old guys. (Old guys understand the infinitive “to conserve”). This enigmatic city-on-a-hill concocted by shiftless Yankees-belying-a-“Pilgrimage” perfection shines its light (?) like a weakly lighted candle, and any exceptionalism is a mystery of, or to, anything that is actually exceptional within a political, legal and social population that is, well, let’s call it what it is, or has become, witless! Such a population seeded by Yankee puberty, political adolescence and increasingly vulgar dialectics. The fictional Phillip Nolan gave the right message to the wrong people. Yes, that’s the word for most of the population devoted to modern politics, the media and a sizeable corral of those who believe in some loosely defined “right to vote.” These are witless idealogues in a dimly lighted urban zone of brain fog and smog. They are the ones who love to say we are a “Democratic Republic.” Such a government is like a brothel with patrons having no outreach to penicillin. It is these same idealogues who don’t understand that a federation is confederated. Such are not two separate constructs. The United States federation states that it guarantees each state a republican government. Republican governments necessarily have no “right to vote,” if for no other reason than such a right does not exist; at least if such rights come from God. He does not allow us to vote but demands we obey His laws. We don’t get to vote on them. Stumbling before God cannot fall back on the excuse that we just didn’t “get out the vote.” When thinking the opposite of witless, think, as thoughtful thinkers apparently did not think (without thinking): You must be 35 to run for president but you have the “right” to vote at 18. You must be 30 to run for the senate, but you have the “right” to vote at 18. You must be 25 to run for the house, but you have a “right” to vote at 18. The imperative clauses were suggested by men who had wit. The conclusions are demanded by men who are nitwits, i.e, witless. Supposedly you can be a Supreme Court justice with a lifetime appointment (which you don’t actually get, though such drivel is nevertheless spoken by those who misunderstand the previously mentioned infinitive) and through sworn testimony reveal without question to be either a liar or a fool. No? Contemporary bawdy babble? Question for a perceived witless judge-lawyer (nitwit) witness: What is a woman? Answer: “I don’t know?” Liar or fool? Only two choices. There can be no third choice. The paradox would be that if you think there is a third choice, then you necessarily are one of the first two. The vicious and phantom ghost rider in the sky called a “right to vote” has given us a group of 435 representatives who each represent approximately 800,000 people (including criminals et numerous) with virtually no communication of one to the other. Write to your congressman? First, you are assuming he can read! And if he can, he probably doesn’t care unless you are sending money. Such chaos is an infection of nation, not union. But to speak of this is to be a barbarous traitor flying the wrong flag. Phillip keeps raising his ugly head. Republics have rules written in convention by the people. Democracies have mobs who burn rules (and often people). Democracies survive but for nationhood and the pruning of men. Republics can survive only in union. Lincoln said he was saving the union. But he created a nation behind his talents(?) as a corporate lawyer to fatten his wallet. Any union needed to die. And it did via murder. This same right to vote gives us 100 of the most mediocre (and in some cases simply dishonest) men representing no longer their individual republics but their national dependent counties of state. The “Left” and the so-called “Right” both can be excused (but not to be authorized) because the descriptive word for them is children. And they will never grow beyond that level, expressively. I don’t see how. They are stunted. They are very much like the fictional children who landed on a fictional island during a “war.” The leaders and followers are all childish (obviously) and they seek a beast that truly is imaginative, though they cannot imagine it, so - a paradox. Paradoxes are connived in Hell. Spiritual mysteries are splendors from Heaven, e.g. The Holy Trinity: Three persons in one and one in three. The Holy Trinity is mysterious. The right to vote is a paradox. Lord of the Flies comes from the notion of Beelzebub. In William Goldings novel Lord of the Flies, a fictional view of the results of adolescents marooned on a small island choosing a right to vote is presented. When the adventure ends with an adult discovering what their little democracy has developed: a feral and warlike society - the adult is overcome with disappointment and can only look out to sea with disgust. If daddy has a wife and three children and declared the family will vote as a democracy what is the guess as to what supper will be each evening? Meat and vegetables for each or a Banana Spit for each? Flies spread their wings and disease and famine spread! The exceptional city on a hill is sick and starving. It has created its own Anaconda plan. Irony, irony, and irony!  The Hope is Southerners Will Recall. The Greater Hope is That Yankees Will Learn. Occasionally, if you tune your ears toward the radio or television with the constant chat and talk, you will pick up certain casual remarks such as just happened to be carried by David Webb the other day. “We had a ‘Civil War’ and then moved on,” was his statement. Webb seems a nice enough guy, and honestly attempts to present himself as a “conservative.” The quotation marks are for emphasis, meaning that the word is a label he carries without really knowing what the word means. Same could have been said of Rush Limbaugh and his acolytes over the years. Again, mostly nice guys, but have been turned away from conservative truth via a conglomeration of would-be patriots who think the fighting at Saratoga in 1777 was a great battle for national brotherhood, when in fact, one of the first (New Hampshire was first) to draw a sword for independence, with its own declaration of independence, was Virginia in June of 1776. And Virginians fought NOT in a newly found NATION magically founded on July 4th, 1776 but in a Union of independent states for which they were part, in the name of strength bringing peace. That they were an independent state was stated in the July 4th DOI after their own, earlier, DOI, and just as all of the colonies had signed. Conservative is written as a script of “conserving.” And conserving has one purpose—to keep that which is wholesome and worthy, and keep it intact. Keep the good, abandon the bad. It does not mean war, money, and social godliness (small “g”) for the flesh of man to be loved and honored. Nor does it mean politicians can promote themselves through their slabbering and slobbering drivel in hopes of having their personal replica, as a self-portrait or marble statue, adorning the halls of the so-called “nation’s capital”—at least it seems we’ve moved away from such sloppy labels of politicians and their narcissism and at least call Washington, D.C. what it is—The Deep State. Mostly “deep” into the public pockets. Liberal is not a bad moniker, nor belief, as long as the bearer is not a “liberal”. Probably no one in the Deep State or its media whores get the irony here. However, they don’t know what liberal means, thus irony starves because of them. But then…smile Emoji. Let’s continue. Politicians are, for the most part, horrible men. And finally, thanks to the modern political gods, horrible men and women. Equality comes from man, not God. So, “ladies” you’ve come a long way (how many of y’all are really blonde?). Now you, too, can participate fully in a land half-filled with degenerates and sexual deviates. Politicians call it Woke. Men call it Weak. I can hear the strains of “America the Beautiful” gently and smoothly in the background as the Woke-sters hum. Praise the Lord, Yankee Doodle! And crown the good with brotherhood? Most of these radio chatterers and politicians are well-meaning fellows (some are not and they are particularly proud of their Southern hatred—He who hath an ear let him hear, Mark L.) and count Southerners as friends who were misguided but have redeemed themselves at places like San Juan Hill, Meuse-Argonne, Normandy, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, and Khe Sanh (for the record, a disproportionate number of Southerners fought [and died] in these battles). Of course, any sacrificial bloodshed offerings by Southerners against The British soldiers circa 1775-1883 are coincidental to any honor, as the Southern kidnapping and killing (mostly through labor) of negroes took top priority, so say contemporary Yankee blowhards raised in today’s academic world. A new world of academics absent Dickens or Tocqueville, of course. But the messages of these chatterers are far beyond what had/has become known as “Independence Day.” So… It was the Virginians, through Thomas Jefferson who for the most part offered the well-known July Fourth Declaration of Independence for the additional 8 states (5 had already seceded: South Carolina, New Jersey, New Hampshire-first to secede, Rhode Island, and Virginia) for a signal of strength in its battle against the English Crown and the Crown’s constitutional parliament (not personally against King George III as some histrionic-historians idiots claim). As a matter of fact, the real battle was one caused as a result of the smaller commercial interest fighting against the East India Company (the Google monster of the day) and its cooperate welfare of the day–EIC wanted lower taxes than everyone else, wrapped around the traditional mercantile system*. It was under the July Fourth Declaration of Independence that 13 former colonies seceded from the British crown and declared (in the document itself) themselves free and independent states of the world. They declared themselves no nation! The Virginians, their fellow Southerners of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Maryland nor most colonies to the North excluding Hamiltonian national statists wanted a nation, nor necessarily fought for one at Saratoga (considered the turning point of the Revolutionary War by many) or any other place. As far as that goes most of the battles and slugfests, men and materials took place in the Southern states (colonies before July 4). A republic of 13 independent states was later formed (1781) under articles establishing a republic confederation and by unanimous consent, later, 1787-1790 this same republic abandoned itself and ratified a new constitution after the independent states agreed to come together in convention for structure. This constitutional government (as a union) lasted until 1861 when the Union split over the South’s paying disproportionately for Union costs and the North treating the constitution as no more than by-laws within a fraternity clubhouse. It was at this time that Lincoln and his Yankee army invaded the new Republic of The Confederate States of America. The Yankee army overwhelmed The Confederate States of America (C.S.A.) with large numbers of European socialist immigrants and Northern mercenaries and through monstrous burnings, lootings, and pillaging forced the South into surrender after 4 years of war. At that time Yankee racism and reconstruction began its long march through the South. The North didn’t beat its weapons into plowshares, it beat the South into a “national submission.” No longer a union, now a national state. Today, as now known, The Deep State. No? One famous writer and journalist, H.L. Mencken, had a view that rarely came up in the Yankee North. It has been passed along often, however, down South. It has never been clear whether this was due to Yankees’ inability to read or their wanton disregard for truth. Many down South have a rabid opinion on this. The vainglorious Gettysburg Address was Mencken’s target. Though a Southerner, Mencken often drew on his notorious cynicism regarding the South. “The Sahara of the Bozart” was one of his prominent cultural darts. Mencken could make Donald Trump look like Pinky Lee. But he took truth and history where he found it, especially when it came to the Southern Confederacy. One of his most famous critiques, as stated above, is of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and Mencken’s analysis of it is also one his most often quoted down South and most muted up North: Up North is where all those Harvard and Yale and Columbia and Dartmouth and on and on HISTORIANS live. But they wrote for the victor, not for the archives. Or as David Webb et al says: “We fought a ‘civil war’ and moved on.” Mencken’s critique of the Gettysburg Address: “But let us not forget that it is oratory, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it! Put it into the cold words of every day! The doctrine is simply this: the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination — “that government of the people, by the people, for the people,” should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in that battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves. What was the practical effect of the battle of Gettysburg? What else than the destruction of the old sovereignty of the States, i.e., of the people of the States? The Confederates went into battle an absolutely free people; they came out with their freedom subject to the supervision and vote of the rest of the country—and for nearly twenty years that vote was so effective that they enjoyed scarcely any freedom at all. Am I the first American to note the fundamental nonsensicality of the Gettysburg address? If so, I plead my aesthetic joy in it in amelioration of the sacrilege.” If there are blacks, negroes, colored people, people of color…pick for your own… and any of you want reparations (money, I assume) from me, then my message to you is, “Get lost.” Unless you steal it from me through the so-called national government you are not getting a dime from me. I don’t owe you anything. Not for work, not for indentured service, not for what the untutored academics and politicians of the world call “slavery.” Slavs were Rome’s problem not mine. And if you have your little feelings in a twit because your great-great-great-great grandpa got highjacked in Africa two or three centuries ago, that’s too bad. Take it up with your tribal (black, negro, colored, etc.) ancient functionaries who highjacked them in the first place and tied them with ropes and vines, then took them to the African coast to European human flesh traders on the west coast or to the African deserts to the north and sold them to other human flesh traders. And if you insist on blaming White settlers in America, take it up with the New England Yankee traders who bought them and traded them in the first place. Ninety-three percent of course went to either South America or islands nations of the Caribbean and West Indies. Or take it up with the same slave merchants who fed their brother textile mills from slaves working (for them) in the South, where about 5% of the slave population ended up. And last but not least, if you insist on reparations because of some “Jim Crow” cry-in-the-dark, at least quit bellyaching about the Confederate States of America. For those of you who take time to read (I realize there are many in politics who can’t) at least take a peek at Pulitzer Prize-winning Author C. Vann Woodward’s The Strange Career of Jim Crow. Then go chat with your self-righteous Yankee (particularly the New England bunch) historical comic-book journalists and cable news clowns (Fox at the top of the list). Then at least try and look at your so-called friends (BLM, Antifa, NAACP, etc.) with their socialistic Clockwork Orange futuristic history-to-be-desired. Your best interests at heart? Oh, sure! In the meantime, the most important thing about July the Fourth, until Yankees learn to yield the truth, is that on that particular day, Vicksburg surrendered to the monster U.S. Grant and the people who treated and considered negroes with the most contempt, Yankees. After Vicksburg, Mississippi and much of the South did not celebrate July Fourth until Pearl Harbor. And then they did it because they sent thousands to defend Yankees in the World War. Something, speaking personally, I don’t believe they Yankees would have ever done for their “National; brothers in the South,” had the roles been reversed. “ For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” If I didn’t know St. Paul had written this to the Ephesians, I would swear that Jefferson Davis had written it to the C.S.A.
This piece was previously posted at the Abbeville Institute on July 4, 2023.
 By July (250 years) the bands will be playing, the Media and Midea-etts will be cheering the 250th anniversary of our “nation” (with the usual brouhaha about some idiotic “American Dream” materializing from some preposterous city on a hill somewhere). They, of course date this from the corrupt and monstrous killer and destroyer “Honest” Abe Lincoln and his magical flute tune: “The Gettysburg Address.” Yankees almost put it to music. H.L. Mencken seemed to put it out with the garbage. For many, Lincoln’s sympathetic views toward European socialists help explain his opposition to Jefferson’s philosophy of governance, as well as the Republican Party’s Hobbesian, statist view of the individual colonies and their separate declarations of independence—later consolidated during the war into a single document for delivery to the King—as independent states of the world. So, what did Menchen say about that Gettysburg Address?
Perhaps these firecracker soldiers and beer-drinking bravados along with their political rube raconteurs should examine the history of the Founders and their Union against their falsely created and contemporary DEEP STATE NATION. This singular Grendel monster and its national bank that prints OUR money, its national constitution with its (added) income tax that seizes OUR property, its endless unlawful wars that kill OUR sons and now even OUR daughters. This is a birthday party for “the consent of the governed”?
And its sorrowfully created, though once admired, Congress that has become a bilge of men and women who live largely by fraud and venality. These same paupers who feint attention as the bands play something they have renamed without authority as the “‘National Anthem,’” though properly and loyalty christened, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..." is the opening line of the United States Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, 1776. That, to quote Jefferson’s biographer, Dumas Malone (history Pulitzer Prize author) was the “radical” Jefferson. Not that misinterpreted “equality” business. But more to the point: “The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America”: This is the opening sentence! “The thirteen united States of America”; not the United States of America. “That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States (emphasis added); that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Today, most have been turned away from conservative truth via a conglomeration of would-be patriots who today think the fighting at Saratoga in 1777 was a great battle for “national” brotherhood, when in fact, one of the first (New Hampshire was first) to draw a sword for independence, with its own declaration of independence, was Virginia in June of 1776. And Virginians fought not in a newly found nation magically founded on July 4th, 1776 but in a union of independent states for which they were a part, in the name of strength bringing peace; that it was an independent state was stated in the July 4th DOI after their own, earlier, DOI, and just as each of the colonies had signed. Conservative is written as a derivation of “conserving.” And conserving has one purpose—to keep that which is wholesome and worthy and keep it intact. Keep the good, abandon the bad. It does not mean war, money, and social godliness for the flesh of man to be loved and honored. Nor does it mean politicians can promote themselves through their slabbering and slobbering drivel in hopes of having their personal replica, as a self-portrait or marble statue, adorning the capitol--at least it seems we’ve moved away from such sloppy labels of politicians and their narcissism and at least call Washington, D.C. what it honestly is—The Deep State. Mostly “deep” into the public pockets. Most of today’s radio chatterers and podcasters are well-meaning fellows (some are not and they are particularly proud of their Southern hatred) and count Southerners as friends who, they have been instilled, were misguided. But supposedly these Southrons have redeemed themselves at places like San Juan Hill, Meuse-Argonne, Normandy, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, and Khe Sanh and frequently raised the Stars and Bars in honor of the Bonnie Blue and their heritage (for the record, a disproportionate number of Southerners fought [and died] in these battles). Of course, any sacrificial bloodshed offerings by Southerners against The British soldiers circa 1775-1883 are coincidental to any honor, as the fictitious stories of Southern kidnapping and killing (mostly through horrible labor) of negroes took top priority, so say contemporary Yankee “academicians” of Lincolnian ilk.

The North didn’t beat its weapons into plowshares; it beat the South into a “national submission.” No longer a union, now a national state. Today, as now known, The Deep State. No? Fourscore and seven years ago---whatever? Imagine one of your birthday parties as a child and your mommy says after you blow out the candles: “By the way we don’t know who your real daddy is.” Happy 250 minus 87.  One of my favorite writers, who has long passed, Charly Reese, wrote an editorial for the Orlando Sentinel 25 years ago. I believe it was his final effort for the O.S. It is in no way dated. It could have been written yesterday, and it would fit perfectly with the horrid simulation in Washington, D.C of the so-called government that is saturated with hucksters and flim-flam artists; those who counterfeit (printed paper is not money, it is multiple I.O.U.s) wealth after capturing real wealth via corrupt bureaus, and, let’s be honest - crooks. With this confiscated wealth they can (and do) do as they please. Please, no comments about “write to your congressman or Senator.” In the first place, I would be surprised if they read it, and more surprised if they did, that they would care, though I’m sure a lot of them can read. Mr. Reese used the number “545” which was a summation of the House and Senate, the Supreme Court and the President. The column was titled: “545 vs. 300,000,000.” The larger number is (was) the rough population of the “nation.” The 545 number is the number of the nation’s illustrious representatives of congress; 535 plus 9 “supreme” court justices and the president though so-called (ill-called) “Commander in Chief” of the nation (he is only CIC of the military under certain qualified circumstances contrary to what the modern media geniuses seem to think—NOT the nation). Speaking of geniuses - the geniuses who were no longer serving a union and were proudly serving a national (ixnay federalism) monster with its breeding bastardized bureaus set (through 1911 and 1929 Apportionment acts) as a permanent number of House seats, 435. Hence today we have so many people represented by a single representative that most everyone is now represented by some clumsy bureaucrat in some ill-administered bureau. Of course, this is available, as being a nation disallows us from nullification or secession. Nevertheless, the number could be expanded proportionately (if we insist on having “a nation” instead of a federal union) as they don’t all have to gather in Washington for their graft and corruption. Modern electronic and computer apps allow all to remain in their own state and “Zoom” or whatever. At least we could stop by and chat with them occasionally. Meanwhile, printed paper is (has been) a means of tax and steal, usually in the name of some false humanity: food stamps, sex-change nonsense, abortions for the needy, giveaways and throwaways ad infinitum and ad nauseum, and wars for Eisenhower’s favorite pirates, the Military Industrial Complex. So today we have a nifty little debt of around $40 trillion, give or take some loose change billions. It feeds on itself and of course and often by itself. A so-called “federal” government. I call it the Washington D.C. kudzu growth. It is good for bugs and snakes. And in conclusion, speaking of bugs and snakes (and presidents and supreme court justices), as congress has not taken a raise (cowards) since 2009, they have found a better way to fatten their personal purses, at least it appears implied from rejected congressmen Dan Crenshaw (Texas) - Insider trading. And most of those Yankees now running South say that secession and nullification were bad ideas. To this I say that I am going to resist the temptation to join the modern public acceptance of profanity. There might still be some adults out there in “the nation.” Besides, down South is that place where Kudzu grows wildly already. DEO VINDICE  It is very sad to watch with some kind of emotional hope that the “empire” will find it is (and has been) on the wrong road and will turn around and look “forward.” That last word is bracketed in quotes to emphasize the direction it has been going--and faster and faster - on a wrong road. That reasoning, of course, may only remind one that an empire has always gone (by choice) in the wrong direction because empires are always piloted by madmen toward the end. The last of most Americans who seem to have understood the difference between Empire and Union are the same ones who live south of the Mason Dixon line and remember that that distinction is more than a geographic line. Sadly, many now who are north of that line are beginning to race south thinking they have been chased from their homes by American (via lighted cities on hills) socialists and communists who are administering government to their former homes and communities. What fools! Can they not look in the mirror and see the “what” and “who” that has chased them. My God, I have seen bird dogs with more savvy than those people. I watch Southerners like Mike Huckabee and such ilk promulgate scholarships for illegal immigrants as an atonement for “slavery” but disdain their Southern brethren as unrepentant non-scholar (this now seems to be the current Southern Baptist code—of which I recently fled toward true Calvinism-- teaching in today’s stagecraft pulpits) racists and still deceive true conservatives into voting for the damnable Republican party and its neoconservative crackers! And on this same watch the Linsey Graham scalawags still roost and cheer “empire.” Old men like me can only shake their heads in disgust at the likes of such cowards. Too old to cry? Maybe. Never too old to fight. I watch as dangerous clowns like Donald Trump and laughingstocks like Joe Biden et al, lie and steal while cojoined with their “supporters” from the very empire they praise while pretentiously praying for “our” troops as they send them to be slaughtered in unlawful and unholy wars. I watch as these “leaders” are themselves led (ordered) by foreign countries to engage in these wars. And I watch as they move into and infect the South, a sect of remaining believers in union apart from empire, and gather in those once wonderful places like Charleston, Raleigh, Dallas and Nashville and as much of Florida as they can contaminate. Palm Beach? A flow of pus on an unattended wound. Rot and more rot! All of these places are now sick from the Washington D.C. (soon to become a state not of a union but of an empire of monsters) infection caused by its depravity. A 19th century author, famous for his caring for political liberal manners and comportments saw through today’s neoconservative and Yankee twaddle it would seem years before. “The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern states.” Charles Dickens, 1862 And from the man Republicans and Democrats alike have come to defile: “Everyone should do all in his power to collect and disseminate the truth, in the hope that it may find a place in history and descend to posterity. History is not the relation of campaigns and battles and generals or other individuals, but that which shows the principles for which the South contended, and which justified her struggle for those principles. ” Robert E. Lee And, finally from a man who has been quoted as often as any and more than most in the political arena with his famous “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” dispatching in a lengthy correspondence with Lee after the war: “I saw in State Rights the only availing check upon the absolutism of the sovereign will, and secession filled me with hope, not as the destruction but as the redemption of Democracy. The institutions of your Republic (sic) have not exercised on the old world the salutary and liberating influence which ought to have belonged to them, by reason of those defects and abuses of principle which the Confederate Constitution was expressly and wisely calculated to remedy. I believed that the example of that great Reform (sic) would have blessed all the races of mankind by establishing true freedom purged of the native dangers and disorders of Republics (sic). Therefore, I deemed that you were fighting the battles of our liberty, our progress, and our civilization; and I mourn for the stake which was lost at Richmond more deeply than I rejoice over that which was saved at Waterloo.” Lord Acton It is for these reasons that Southerners, of honorable conservative minds and mindsets, honor men like Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis and a host of many in the past who proudly wore the armor of Gray. It is for this reason that old men like me are saddened, not for ourselves, but for what we leave behind for our families of young men and their young women: a rotted and rotten empire. DEO VINDICE  The political party of Republicans, not to be confused with republicans, is giddy with the election of Trump and the “Red Wave,” washing over the “nation” in what continues to be coined as a conservative landslide by, at least some. This wave may be politically red, but if it isn’t cultured with Bonnie Blue, it will be no different from the usual Republican bilge of nationalism, wars, and the old Reagan-Goldwater (claimed-by-them) love fantasy, albeit lying-truth underneath. And probably not conservative. Well, let’s just say: NOT conservative. The above was written by me after the election in 2024. I shouldn’t say “I told you so,” but nevertheless --I told you so. We now have a war with Iran. And the truth to be told (since the geniuses at Fox News won’t tell it, or probably more likely, don’t know it) is we will not win this war, and sadly, if we don’t get out immediately will see a number of American boys killed (and praise be to our Washington gods, we can now allow girls to be killed in foxholes). I won’t spend time with the foolhardy strategy (there is none) nor even the tactics that idiots like Lindsey Graham are screaming about which are almost inapplicable today. I will say, briefly, that the morale of the Iranians is at a peak. And I believe it was Napoleon who said that morale is ten times all other factors. As a comparison, up until June of 1941, the Russian people hated Stalin for the psychotic murdering thug who he was. He had murdered or imprisoned millions of his own people in land purges, political purges and via starvation through reckless economics. The Russian people despised him. But when, on June 22, 1941 Hitler invaded Russia (his own ally) in operation Barbarossa, the Russian people turned on a dime and took up their pitchforks, rifles and whatever Stalin could give them and fought maniacally for “Mother Russia” against the monstrous Nazis. And these Russian people took all orders given from Stalin. Morale hadn’t been so high in Russia since Lenin had gotten them extricated from WWI. One of the so-called primary reasons DJT and his brilliant political allies, and Pentagon hacks (without Congressional authority, of course) gave for war was what they magically and almost spiritually called a necessary “regime change.” So, of course they killed the Ayatollah immediately expecting a rebellion and a uprising with the people charging into the arms of the United States (with their you-know-who mid-east partner) for some kind of magical “democracy.” Only a fool would expect such a result. But then we are talking about the gods of Washington D.C. This is only one of the reasons that we will not win, nor may we even extricate ourselves for months (maybe years). But it is the main one. Explain foolish tactics or the absence strategy? We are talking about low I.Q. Pentagon prima donnas and its multitude on four star generals. As far as Morale in America—it stinks. And those Republicans who are not republicans can kiss the elections in the fall goodbye. The Dems will win and if the borders are reopened, it won’t be the Russians who are coming (you get the point Lindsey?) There are those who believe that Washington D.C. wants to become a state. Don’t believe it. That place would never lower itself to becoming something as pitiful as a state.  As a brief preface: For us old-timers who over the years in school have had to compete with our betters-of-gray matter (there have been many for me) it is difficult to observe the buffoons who are thrown at us from television, radio, etc. posing as media disciples of intelligent thought. These are the same people who provide such verbiage as: “the ‘amount’ of people” or “’less’” numbers” or any number of irregular and/or incorrect grammar or syntax foibles; not to mention the multitude of falsely stated disclosures, such as “antisemitism”(for those who are language prejudiced, I assume) or Israel is “our” strongest ally in the Mideast (I suppose I am too stupid to find what treaty provides us as a wartime “ally” with them). And, of course, by observing this particular nugget of knowledge I certainly am charged as a bigoted fool . But to conclude the point of this little intro, it was the geniuses of “The Five” on February 12, this new year (this program, of course, is a kissin’ cousin of those other media giants, “Outnumbered” as well as such woeful claptrap as “The view”) that continued the comparison of Minnesota’s recent brawl to the American South and its Confederacy’s “history” of racism and treason, they claim. But onward to my complaint (not really complaining—just pointing out the obtuse offerings of the media etc.). Complaining about these people is like complaining that you have poison ivy because you had to go into the woods to go squirrel hunting. Nothing you can do except scratch; kind of like Yankees—something natural, like rashes and diseases. You try to avoid them if you can. But, One of the group who was on The Five’s Yankee Republican stage that day, Kennedy, I believe (she just goes by the single sobriquet of “Kennedy” with no first or last—a media Paladin-ett, I suppose) blurted out that since Tom Homan had successfully come to Minneapolis and rescued Kristi Noem from the politics of shooting criminals, that Homan could be like U.S. Grant during the “Civil War” when he saved the day. Another of this media intellectual elite, Greg Gutfied, who has apparently learned his history at the knee of The Comedy Hour, stepped in and offered, and supported Kennedy, with the follow-up that Noem would certainly be General McClellan. Homan, Grant. Noem, McClellan. Get it? But they really don’t care (nor do they know). Their only wish is to denigrate the South via insults of the Confederacy that they claim was a treasonous group and are to be aligned with various 20th Century “fascists.” As bad as these people are about understanding Grant and his bloodthirsty mischief, they seem to know far less about McClellan (another subject for these dullards). I had a sixth-grade teacher as a boy who would get so mad at you when you committed some obviously foolish error that she would get right up in your face, wag her finger at you and bellow: “Paul (or whoever) WHERE IS YOUR GRAY MATTER!” A good teacher, and we learned a lot. When you see these media outlets today and their mental midgets pontificating, you can only wonder if they even finished grade school. Naturally the whole bunch cheered almost in a sing-a-long at Kennedy’s analogy as if Dinesh D’souza or Mark Levin were conducting some Republican juvenile delinquent orchestra (the Republican Wagner touch). It is difficult to watch this elementary school type demonstration with its flagrant and foul notion delivered by people who make (I don’t say earned) hundreds of thousands of dollars to reveal a flawed understanding, if not a downright lie; gray matter be damned! And you can be sure that this same bunch are too stupid to realize that their favorite political party will be doomed without the South. And such a notion may not be far off. There are many truthful and capable historians that can unmask the spurious Fox Fivers and the rest of their ilk, if only this media set would listen openly from those who would explain the truth. But they seem not to care. Or maybe they really are as stupid as they offer. Maybe gray matter really is that malnourished with these folks! Sadly, there are many Southerners that will continue to be fooled because they have locked into part of the media that they believe to be “on the right,” and therefore are RIGHT. Wrong! I may or may not be around for the next election, but at this point I am NEVER going to be fooled by these apes again. Not fooled really. It was a kind of foolish trust. And you can be sure that I will never offer these mental midgets of Yankeedom anything close to trust again. I’ve had it with these people. ‘The Five,” “ Outnumbered,” “ The View” ? Gray-Matter’s models of absentia that are lost to gray.  Is July 4th a date signifying the birth of a nation or the independence of free states? The more we pulsate on July 4th as the birthday of a nation the more we continue to bury what was once a republic. But, more specifically: Voting rights. The right to vote? Prior to the 14th Amendment the phrase “right to vote” did not appear in the Constitution. It then appears (again magically) in the 15th Amendment as a not-so-subtle implication, again, that such “right” obviously was intended to draw inference from and for the Yankee mob who had been propagandized to kill and burn in the name of some new nation-to-be-created by old “Honest” Abe and his ilk. Sham righteousness was their flag, and national democracy was their goal, led by old “H-A” and his Northern (mostly New England) mob. This “Right,” psychologically in place after 1865, and ordered and enforced at gunpoint by national (no longer federal) troops to disarm captives of the South; this new “birth-of-freedom” in its bloody afterbirth largely became the monster national state we serve (we are now the subject, not the object) today. That is where the race to the voting booth began and our precious and so-called exemplary (of course-tongue-in-cheek) courts took on final authority of the Yankee kingdom. A kingdom where democracy was called king though the king’s court was necessarily attended by ochlocratic orientated stooges who are worshiped to this day as the official legal minds. And worshiped they have been. The few responsible men (yes) who had represented and voted in their independent states of the former union (now the nation) now - through political subterfuge - have been eliminated through the courts and national edicts, i.e. amendments. There are no longer amendments to the Constitution because nullification and secession have been eliminated (at gunpoint). Therefore, each change after the 12th Amendment has been an edict. Below is typical of the legalistic (and historical) drivel that is found online as well as at libraries, most certainly. From The Colleges of law: (Boldface is my added emphasis) Who Has the Right to Vote? “There is no constitutional right to vote” sounds like the beginning of a Margaret Atwood novel. But, unlike other rights listed in the Constitution, such as the right of the people to keep and bear arms in the Second Amendment, or the right to a speedy and public trial in the Sixth Amendment, the Constitution may not explicitly give U.S. citizens this beloved “right” to vote. Scholars disagree on whether the U.S. Constitution gives Americans the right to vote. Some believe that the right is implicit, embedded in the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and others argue that the right does not exist. While scholars might not agree whether the Constitution guarantees the right to vote, the U.S. Supreme Court does not hesitate to affirm the notion. In the 1972 decision in Dunn v. Blumstein, Justice Marshall stated, “In decision after decision, this Court has made clear that a citizen has a constitutionally protected right to participate in elections on an equal basis with other citizens in the jurisdiction.” And again in the 1974 Richardson v. Ramirez case, Justice Rehnquist wrote: “Because the right to vote ‘is of the essence of a democratic society, and any restrictions on that right strike at the heart of representative government,’… voting is a ‘fundamental’ right.” Note the timeline above directs most discussion after 1865. And, of course, the grasping at Constitutional “straws and maybes.” But onward, Aristotle’s three forms of government and each’s corrupt form:
“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” Thomas Jefferson The problem for anarchists in achieving success is that in order to reach their goal they must have an organized effort. In other words, a system which creates its own paradox—organized anarchy. So, it is true of a mob. There is no thought within a mob that defends itself as properly governing anything other than a mob - which cannot be governed, by definition, i.e. that’s why they call it a mob. This was the tenor in France before finally the mob turned on its own creators and gave them their own up close and personal view of Antoine Louis’s efficient Guillotine. Possibly the first criminal chop-shop. Today, in Minnesota, Minnesotans have problems created of their own making. And it’s too bad (for them). They cannot nullify ICE, they cannot secede from ICE, nor its Lincoln-created national state. And they have no one to blame but themselves. It was from Minnesota that some of the same Yankees who fought for the “right” to vote cloaked themselves in some monstrous lie that they were freeing slaves. Never, NEVER, could they see that they were not “freeing” anyone but were, in fact, enslaving everyone in their new birth of freedom. And it was their Yankee silly-boys such as Hubert Humphrey et al who worshiped the “right to vote” (1965) for everyone (especially down South). Personally, I say to hell with them. But that’s just me. |
