Be Prepared Southerners

Via Bryan


The events of the last few days have given me cause for concern and reflection on possible future events. The actions of the coward governor of SC and the scalawag legislators of that state, which holds a special place in my heart, have made it more abundantly clear how dire our situation is. It should be no surprise to us when the historical revisionists and purveyors of cultural genocide descend upon us as locusts on a wheat field. Mark my word: the very existence of the Sons of Confederate Veterans is in the balance!

-Be prepared for a politician to bring it before the US Congress to have our Congressional charter revoked.

-Be prepared for a politician to bring it before the US Congress to have our 501(c)3 tax exempt status revoked. When this is revoked, the City of Biloxi, Harrison County, the state of Mississippi and the federal government will place a tax lien on our beloved Beauvoir for unpaid taxes. What a sad day that will be.

-Be prepared for the IRS to seize our camp checking accounts and any monies or property retained by the various Divisions. They know where we bank and what our account information is. It would be nothing for the IRS to electronically freeze the accounts in the dead of night.

-Be prepared to be required to give a loyalty oath to the USA.

-Be prepared to lose your job because of your association with the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

-Be prepared to lose your security clearance, if required for employment, because of your association with the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

You think I exaggerate the situation? I ask you to consider the events of the last several weeks and then think back to April when we were celebrating Confederate Heritage Month. In April, we had no idea of the coming storm that has engulfed us. But it is here none the less. Camp commanders, speak to your members and prepare them for an onslaught like they have never imagined. Prepare yourselves, Compatriots. I believe this will get much worse before it gets any better.

In any event, keep your wits about you. Don't let our detractors goad you into confrontations that will give them ammunition to use against us.

God keep you and yours.

Respectfully,

Marc S. Allen
Commander, 4th Brigade

Our History and the Future

Via Richard

Everything is spiritual. First understand that. Every organism--whether the individual human being, or an entire culture, or an entire civilization--ALL have a soul. "Soul" defined as that which the organism is in its deep heart core WITH the possibilities latent within itself. So that is the starting point.

Next is the fact--and it is a fact--that every organism has a life span. Things appear; they develop (according to the possibilities latent in the soul); then they die. ​

There is a rhythm to life. To organic life, that is. This is why history repeats itself. This is why there is an observable rhythm of war and peace. This is why all great cultures have followed the exact same paths of birth, development, decline, and death. Ancient Babylonia; ancient Egypt; ancient India; ancient China & Japan; ancient Middle East; ancient Mexico & Peru; the Classical Greeks and Roman; and our own Western Culture, which degenerated (between 1750-1850) into Western Civilization because Rationalism and Materialism came to dominate Western thought and action. That is because, as time passed, Westerners--as all others before us--began to look more and more outward rather than inward, as they had done during the culture phase. This caused people to move increasingly into cities. This brought about "science" and technology. All are signs of the externalization of the soul, which expresses itself in rationalism and materialism, as it abandons religion. (And this is, of course, a general picture, for there are ALWAYS people like us in EVERY period and in every place. But we are in the minority--for now. But that will change. It always has. History testifies to it.)

This (rationalism and materialism) is where "liberalism" comes from. "Liberals" are divorced from reality. They have no interest in facts or in truth. That is why they are impervious to facts and truth. They try to apply inorganic logic to living organisms because, as rationalist-materialists, they actually believe that human beings are mechanisms instead of organisms. This is why they are always yammering about "programs" and "education" and "progress." They think that ALL of history has been leading up to --THEM. Are they not, after all, the most intelligent and enlightened people EVER? (If you don't think so, ASK one.)

But rationalism and materialism MUST devour themselves, and that is what we are witnessing now. There is no alternative. Why? Because humans are organisms, not mechanisms. And when one tries to apply inorganic logic to living organisms, there can be only two results--one of those results we ALWAYS get; the other only sometimes. Those two results are (1) bungling and (2) disaster. Do "liberals" not ALWAYS lead us into bungling and disaster? It is because they regard everything as subject to Reason, which is foolish and false, be cause Life is irrational and organic; not mechanistic and inorganic.

(Inorganic logic is the sort of logic that we find and use in mathematics and in engineering--building bridges and roads and whatnot. Organic logic is the logic that arises form Life--with a capital L. And Life--as you all will have noticed--is IRRATIONAL. And the logic that is useful for bulding brides and roads is not useful for ordering human life, or indeed for any sort of organic life, be it human, or Cultural, or civilizational.)

So in the end, rationalism and materialism MUST degenerate, such that they once again slip back into religion and the resurgence of Authority, and that is what we are seeing now. This is why we have a new religion in the West ("political correctness"). This is why we see police states arising everywhere in the West. We are in the final stages of the life cycle of our Civilization.

But that does NOT mean that ANY of us will live to see the end. We have a LONG way yet to go. And it does NOT mean that our people will go down to defeat and disappear. After all, there are still Indians and Chinese and Aztecs and Mayas and Egyptians, etc. No, what is still possible for us--and this is OUR LIFE TASK--is to return to the manly virtues of discipline; duty; strength; sacrifice; honor; etc. We DO have time to realize the possibilities that STILL remain within the Western soul--domination of the entire world.

Of course, we have enemies within the gates, who act as pathogens within our Western Organism, making it sick. But the Western soul remains INTACT and it WILL express itself again in war and in conquest. That is ginning up right now before our eyes. Does anyone doubt that there is going to be a race war? Indeed, it has already begun. We see it everywhere we look. And it will last for another century at least.

But the future still belongs to us. Eventually, of course, the West will die, as all earthly things must. But we shall not live to see that happen. We are now seeing the warfare that will take up the next century or century and a half. And our people WILL triumph one last time. OUR LIFE TASK is to prepare ourselves and whichever of our people we can reach for the struggle ahead. But I am confident that our people will triumph. Probably none of us now living will see that day, but it will come because it must come. All of history testifies to it. We have seen it over and over. This is why there is a rhythm to life; it is why history repeats. That is not accidental or incidental.

Things really are following the path they must follow. The future belongs to those who are alert to it and who are in tune with the Truth--and that is not "liberals."

Be of good courage. Look to our people's future, and prepare. Duty; courage; sacrifice; discipline, honor. These are the virtues we must inculcate into ourselves and into as many of our people as we can. But remember that the Western soul is already attuned to these very things, so the ground IS fertile, although it doesn't look like it right now. But we have the evidence of the 1930s to show that these virtues DO triumph when our people take them up and live by them. THAT is our task. Don't be afraid.

A 'Gay Parody' of Marine Sacrifice: The Desecration of the USMC War Memorial

Via Billy

 

Last week, I visited the Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia.

Among a plethora of remarkable artifacts from Marine operations dating back to the Corps' founding on 10 November 1775 is the World War II American flag that was raised above Iwo Jima’s Mount Suribachi 70 years ago. I was amazed by this particular display, as I did not know the Iwo flag, and the smaller one that preceded it, had been recovered and archived.

It was a privilege to stand before that American flag with my son, who had just graduated from Officer Candidates School at MCB Quantico — the “Crossroads of the Marine Corps.” We didn’t say much. Instead, we quietly contemplated the price of Liberty won under that Star-Spangled Banner. It seemed a fitting way to prepare for an Independence Day celebration.

FBI data backs up Trump claims on illegals and crime

Via Billy

trump

Largely unreported data published by the FBI appears to back up Donald Trump’s contentions regarding illegal aliens from Mexico committing drug and violent crime offenses in the U.S.

According to the FBI, criminal gangs – in some regions comprised significantly of illegal aliens – are wreaking havoc in the U.S., with 65 jurisdictions nationwide reporting gang-related offenses committed with firearms account for at least 95 percent of crime in those areas.

The FBI further documented gangs in Southwestern border regions consisting of up to 80 percent illegal aliens were committing a multitude of crimes in America, “including drug-related crimes, weapons trafficking, alien smuggling, human trafficking, prostitution, extortion, robbery, auto theft, assault, homicide, racketeering, and money laundering.”

The information was contained in the FBI’s 79-page National Gang Report published in 2013, the most recently released extensive agency report providing an overview of gang activities and trends in the United States.

Memphis City Council: Nathan Forrest’s Family Does Not Want Remains Exhumed Or Statue Removed, Mayor Claims Otherwise

Vic a comment by Cav Med  on Today's flag pole


 Memphis City Council: Nathan Forrest's Family Does Not Want Remains Exhumed Or Statue Removed, Mayor Claims Otherwise
"................another knee jerk reaction to that anti-Confederate hysteria. Some people here are trying to get on the bandwagon in erasing Confederate history..."

Yesterday, the Inquisitr reported on the Memphis City Council wanting to remove the remains and statue of a Confederate lieutenant general, Nathan Forrest. Today, more information on the story is available. The Memphis City Council has voted unanimously to exhume the remains of Nathan Forrest and his wife, which have been interred underneath that statue memorializing Nathan Forrest, a statue that has stood since 1904. In order to complete the exhumation, the Memphis City Council needs a court order and permission from Nathan Forrest’s family.

A spokesperson for the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Lee Miller, speaking on behalf of people claiming to be descendants of Nathan Forrest, claims the family is not going to give their consent to remove the remains.

DICLAIMER: No Mississippi Flags were harmed in the making of this parody

Statement on the Flag Outcome or The people will not forget about this.

6-18-15-confederate-flag-s

Over the past few weeks, we’ve witnessed something I thought I’d never see in my lifetime: fellow South Carolinians voting away their proud heritage out of fear, intimidation and political correctness.

But of course, it wasn’t the average South Carolina citizen who displayed this cowardice, was it? The citizens of this state were not even afforded the opportunity to voice their opinions in this matter, simply because the politicians in Columbia deeply feared what those ballots might say. If anti-flag representatives were exposed as being on the wrong side of popular opinion, careers would be at stake and donors would stage a mutiny. For an ambitious politician, this is the gravest of all fears.

The truth is that this entire “debate” began under false pretenses. Allow me to explain…

                                                    The Grand Fabrication: Fort Pillow       

During Vietnam, while at Fort Benning, Georgia as a young enlistee, I witnessed a parade with Army historical color guards and colors from our nation’s history being paraded.  I still have photos of it.  As a young Southerner I was proud of the fact that a Confederate Army color guard marched with a Battle Flag in review.  This color guard represented the valor and courage of soldiers who were my ancestors.  Under President McKinley, a series of four acts of Congress from 1900-1958 restored Confederate soldiers’ standing as “American” soldiers ---- part of “reconciliation” of the North and South.  That’s why Confederates have VA headstones. That reconciliation is now being undone by haters and people with a lack of cultural historical knowledge and appreciation despite a comprehensive national poll by Lou Harris. That poll shows that 82% of Americans have no problems with Confederate emblems.  In an age of PC, the tyranny of the minority appears to be the rule.
 
 I have taught logic and critical thinking courses at the Army’s Command and General Staff College for years. I taught in the graduate history department prior to retiring from the US Army.  What amazes me is the lack of historical knowledge by graduate students.

Thanks for your question. Firearms are legal on state ferries, however, since we are regulated by the Coast Guard and Homeland Security, we require that firearms be locked away (in a trunk or glove department) while the ferries are underway.

Hope that helps,
