The compartmentalizing of religion, the separation of church and state, and the closet Christianity of modern America resulted from the communist and totalitarian inability to eradicate Christians by persecution. Instead, they allowed them to play religion (nicely) if they would not attempt to interfere with government affairs (Legutko 2018, 161-164). So long as it could preach John 3:16, the Church was willing to strike a deal with the Devil.
Being much more intelligent, the Devil knows for the peasants to accept John 3:16 (a tradition of men as the inspired word of God has no verse or chapters and no section was meant to be separated from the whole), they need a foundation first. The foundation is found in the rest of the Bible and the knowledge of the truthfulness of Christianity. The modern evangelical church believed it could get away with preaching only John 3:16 and people would have emotional experiences and still convert. Instead, when separated from a biblical worldview, culture, laws, and truth, people view “the Gospel” as they should, which is foolishness. If the Bible is false, why accept what John 3:16 says? Should they accept something just because someone has “shared” an inward emotion-ridden “experience” they applied to Jesus? There are plenty of lunatics making similar claims about their own very divergent experiences. Drugs and delusions produce the same, often more powerful results.
Gnosticism has always been an issue with the Church; it was our earliest heresy. It is still potent but to a lesser strength in evangelical America. They only care for the “spiritual” or heaven, but not earth. They seek only to save and rescue us from here. They consider current life, happiness, and earthly concerns or objects as of little value or even evil in themselves. The modern American Church has reduced Christianity to John 3:16 and then struggled to determine why many reject the message earlier ages accepted. I think evangelicals, in particular, are critical of a supposed sub-par and corrupt Church in the Middle Ages too focused on the saints, Mary, and the Crusades.
Unfortunately, pride is common among men, and even the Church is not exempt. We need to look at the state of the Church today. If we do so, how can we criticize a society converting a pagan world, pushing back an expanding Islamic wave, and publicly challenging opposing worldviews? How could the medieval Church maintain a population almost wholly Christian? Did they have more preachers? Perhaps. Did they have more devotionals, daily Bible reading, Christian radio stations, and multiple copies of the Bible in every home? Certainly not.
The most significant difference in their success was they implemented a Christian society and did not compartmentalize John 3:16 from the rest of the Bible. During the Middle Ages, they purposely structured laws to ensure spiritual health. In Wessex, they set up laws “considering of the health of our souls and of the stability of our realm.”(“The Avalon Project: Anglo-Saxon Law – Extracts From Early Laws of the English.”, n.d.) Magna Carta’s purpose was not only about restoring liberty but also, says King John in its preamble, “For the salvation of our soul, and those of all our ancestors and heirs, and unto the honor of God and the advancement of his Holy Church and for the rectifying of our realm.”(“The Avalon Project: Magna Carta”, n.d.)
There was no separation of Church and state; they did not attempt to pretend a secular society is unbiased, and they understood political laws would have a spiritual impact. For example, if society accepted unlawful marriages and normalized adultery, Saint Boniface warned, a “race ignoble and scorning God must necessarily issue from such unions.”(Durant 1950, 456) A law legalizing divorce and neglecting to punish adultery would directly affect the salvation of the next generation. Unfortunately, this truth is lost on modern evangelicals who think we must only “preach the Gospel.” During the Middle Ages culture, laws, politics, education, everything was connected to eternal salvation. There was no “religious” or “secular” sphere; everything was molded to the glory of God. The goal was Christendom. No aspect of society was to be separated from Him.
A Christian society produces a culture and people who readily accept John 3:16 because it cultivated their worldview to accept what the Gospel rested on, the whole of the Bible, and a Christian worldview. The heavy lifting, the planting, the nurturing, and the growth were in place; the reaping was the easy part.
For one, they taught the Bible as an accurate historical record. They were “Creationists,” believing God created the world in the recent past, and the events recorded, such as Noah’s flood and the Tower of Babel, were historical events. So, each nation could trace its ancestors back to Noah and his sons and before them to Adam and Eve (Ross and McLaughlin 1977, 233) (J. A. Giles Giles, J. A. (John Allen, n.d., History Of The Britons (Historia Brittonum) by Nennius). In the early history of the world, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle focuses primarily on Israel and later the apostles and the Church. It records significant dates such as the miracles done by various saints, the installation of popes, and when kings were baptized and converted. When these are your major historical events, it becomes history, not faith. The faithful were surrounded by stories of wonders and miracles following living saints, the demonic activity of witches and pagans, and divine intervention granting the Holy City back to Christians. There was no reason to doubt, God was ever-present. In other words, followers did not have to jump through mental hoops to accept Christianity; it was self-evidently true. Since the Bible is an accurate historical record of God’s dealing with man, why not accept John 3:16 as God’s accurate salvation message? If He got it right in the Old Testament, he probably got it correct in the New.
The early and medieval Church produced many works defending the truth of Christianity. Whether to communicate, argue and debate with Muslims, Jews, atheists, or heretics, the Church was prepared to defend the faith and show the falsehood of other belief systems. After observing heretics who were getting the better of Catholic monks in public debates, Saint Dominic began a group, later becoming the Dominicans, to engage in public debates with them. He and his followers “debated the Cathars whenever and wherever they could” (Daileader, n.d. Heretics And Heresy). The Church did not teach relativism and tolerance; instead, they forced Jews, pagans, and Muslims to debate in public and defend their views against Christian apologists. They started apologetic schools to defend Christianity and to debate opposing worldviews, which according to Professor Warren H. Carroll allowed them to “meet and vanquish every opponent, at least intellectually” Carroll 1993, 161-162). You did not have to guess at the truth; many would point you there.
Unlike the modern church, which allows secularists to educate, the medieval Church understood this would lead people from Christ. Part of the purpose of education was to prepare the student for “spiritual warfare” or apologetics (Jarrett 2007, 31-32). So, they prevented our modern situation from arising by intellectually confronting and refuting opposing views. The early 14th-century Dominican author Robert Holcot complained about the French being unprepared to defend the faith, stating that when a “new interpretation of Scripture challenged traditional Christianity,” would say, “seek not the things that are too high for thee and search not into things above thy ability.” According to Holcot, it was “not because they really mean it but because they are ashamed of their own ignorance”(Jarrett 2007, 32). Any modern Christian who has dabbled in apologetics today and attempted to discuss issues with nominal Christians will find this attitude that Holcot encountered is prevalent today, as is secularism.
While the Dominicans were considered the intellectual apologists, and the Franciscans were better known for acts of service and preaching the Gospel, nonetheless Professor Daileader described their method of preaching as “you would know when a group of Franciscans had come to your town because they would go to the town square or someplace where there was certain to be some group of people, and they would begin to argue with them. They would walk up to you and engage you in debate. They would ask you questions and when you responded to their questions, they would ask you more questions, they almost tried to pick fights.” He goes on “Whether you wanted to debate or not, they would follow you around town pestering you until you would finally argue with them” (Daileader, n.d. Francis of Assisi-Franciscan). Saint Francis went to great lengths to start debates with Muslims when he traveled to Egypt. While demonstrating a deep knowledge of the Koran and the person of Muhammad, he was able to best multiple of the king’s top Imams simultaneously.
When a church leader encountered heresy or a new doctrine among the faithful, they would call a council where disagreements could be debated and tested against Scripture and earlier declarations from the authoritative councils. Christianity was not a custom, a choice, or a personal opinion; it was a revealed truth shaping society. Medieval Christianity was not our modern playful, feel-good, self-help tame religion; they believed it, and it changed their actions and held an authoritative impact over every aspect of society. They lived as if eternity was more important than this life.
Daileader said the “hallmark” of education taught at universities was medieval scholasticism which was “based on argument… scholastic authors love conflict, they actively search out for conflict” (Daileader, n.d. Origins of Scholasticism). The typical teaching method was to have the entire class pick a subject and then debate it using authorities like the Bible, Church Fathers, philosophers, etc.; each side would be heard and contested with counter-arguments. You were expected to know and present the best arguments counter to your own position.(Jarrett 2007, 34) Historian Will Durant described the effects of the scholastic debate-centered method of learning: “Such debates, formal or informal, sharpened the Medieval mind, and gave scope for much freedom of thought and speech” (Durant 1950, 921). Well-known intellectuals like Peter Abelard would pick fights with the leading professors across France, just to show he could defeat them in debate.
The challenge to different worldviews was not the only intense debate within Christendom. Historian Will Durant wrote, “the divergence and conflicts within orthodoxy were almost as intense as between faith and unbelief” (Durant 1950, 960). In response to some faculty members at the University of Paris, Thomas Aquinas declared “If, then, there be anyone who, boastfully taking pride in his supposed wisdom, wishes to challenge what we have written, let him not do it in some corner, nor before children who are powerless to decide on such difficult matters. Let him reply openly if he dare. He shall find me here confronting him… we shall do battle with his errors, and bring the cure to his ignorance” (Durant 1950, 960).
During that time, Christians engaged in intellectual debates with their friends and foes. Their involvement in apologetics and studying made them stronger-minded and more dedicated Christians ready to take on all opposition. As Peter Abelard stated in the 12th century, “By doubting, we come to inquiry, and by inquiry, we arrive at the truth.” Their perspective is why believe something if it is false, when if you test and debate all things, you will arrive at the truth (Proverbs 18:17, I Thessalonians 5:21). However, modern Christians often take Christianity solely on faith, turning it into a personal and emotional experience reflecting their own truth. As a result, few Christians today follow the intellectual belief and defense of the medieval mold and have far less impact on our world, their faith is often weak and hidden. Being raised by secular education, most modern Christians cannot provide a logical defense of their worldview. Yet they expect logical-thinking people to accept their “faith” when they share it with them. Asking logical people to accept ungrounded “faith” is not only illogical but unbiblical.
Give me a society ruled by biblical law and morality, believing and eager to defend the Bible as an accurate historical account of life on earth, and I will show you a people ripe for evangelism. And when your family, village, and society are Christian, it becomes easy to accept; you don’t want to be the oddball. Modern Protestant pastor Matthew J. Trewhella wrote, “It is important to understand that the Gospel is never heard in isolation. It is always heard against the backdrop of the cultural milieu in which one lives. If one lives in a culture or nation where good laws prevail that mirror the law and justice of God, one can more readily understand the claims of the Gospel than in a culture or nation where the laws contradict the law and justice of God” (Trewhella 2013, 88).
Further, lacking modern democratic sensibilities, the medieval social structure did not hinder evangelization. In kingship, the hierarchy starts at the top, with God as the king; the law and rulers are his agents, reflecting his character, purpose, and design. A society designed and structured after this pattern produces people who are readily willing to submit to the lord of lords. A Christian king at the head of a hierarchy directs people upward to God. It shows society should be governed and molded by that higher power. Kings are a reflection of the divine image and his law; the people look to and honor the king, so it becomes easy to honor what he imperfectly represents. The “prayer pose” still used today of two hands together is a feudal pose a vassal makes when accepting his lord; Jesus is your eternal lord who happens to be above your temporal one. He is not just your lord but your lord’s lord.
Kingship makes it easy to accept God who works through Christian kings who are his reflection. On the other hand, a leveling democracy is man and secular-centered. Thus, its citizens are much less likely to “look up,” and if they do, it is likely with hostility at the very thought of inequality and hierarchy that “looking up” entails. It is hard to see God at the top of our structure of squabbling politicians lying, manipulating, abusing power and money. When society is structured to follow the King of Kings, it becomes easy to fall in line and accept him as a given, just as democracy makes relativism, infighting, theft and abuse readily accepted today. The leaders’ actions and beliefs affect all of society.
When Christians converted nations from paganism, they often first went after the kings knowing if you could convert them and the nation would follow those they honored. The same thing occurs today: kids honor politicians, sports stars, actors, and musicians they copy and idolize. Convert the lord; you convert his people. Thus, moral decay often stems from the powerful and filters down to the peasants.
Under Christendom, democratic societal hurdles are removed, and being a Christian becomes natural. You don’t “believe” John 3:16 because it is what your “religion” or culture is; you accept it because it is the revealed truth of God and has shaped society. In the same way you plant a seed in the soil, water it, and care for it, you accept Jesus as your savior because it is how God, similarly caring, designed you to function. It becomes a given; of course, Jesus is Lord. It becomes natural, and any deviation from God’s design is abnormal. This led to large sections of society giving their lives to how they could best serve God. There was no shortage of such people in the Middle Ages.
Modern evangelical preachers seem to think of evangelization like bingo, play enough times, and eventually, you will get the correct numbers and “win” a convert. They wholly ignore the impact of contemporary worldviews. They get so excited at any chance to “share the Gospel” with a secular world but never consider why the audience is not very receptive. They can blame it on sin and feel comfort in the truth “Jesus is coming back soon,” enabling them not to do what the medievals did, contest a secular society, defend truth and stand like men. Instead, they can keep thumping away at John 3:16 and contort the Bible to claim this is the Church’s only duty.
If you were to preach the Gospel to a village in England in 1100 A.D., I can assure you they would be receptive to the message; if you preach that same message at a university or government school today, they might remove you for hate speech. Due to the differences in law, customs, and worldview, the eleventh-century preacher would expect different results in Persia than in Paris. Further, like the apostle Paul in Acts, they would drastically alter their approach to evangelization based on the audience. Evangelicals pretend modern Americans are first-century Jews.
Brazil is known for its outstanding soccer teams and players. There have only been a few NBA players from Brazil. The reason is not due to a lack of population or athletes; it is because Brazilians are in love with soccer!!! If their society suddenly “converted” to basketball, you would discover they would be producing top-level players in just a few years. And while you will find the rare basketball player from Brazil, most great athletes will be soccer players. In modern America, we are attempting to create Christians in a secular culture. Still, we can’t figure out why it’s not working, why churches are being demolished and replaced and why each generation is more secular.
In a world being taught truth is false, like Aquinas said, we must use our mind and apologetics to convey the truth (Rutler 2020, 24). When the New Testament Church preached to Jews who already accepted the Bible as revealed truth from God, they focused on Jesus being the promised messiah. But when they went beyond the borders of Israel (or of the Church) to pagan societies, their methods changed drastically. As did the early Church, which converted diverse pagan societies. They were on the offensive because they argued from the mind. In comparison, we are emotion-based and thus in retreat. By trying to convert our pagan world by emotion, we ask them to do something the Bible says not to do, accept a lie. To them, the Bible is demonstrably false, and any logical-thinking person whose education has only been from the secular state would agree. As Fr. George Rutler says, we need a personal relationship with Jesus, but it isn’t “A feeling of sentiment within me. It is my contact with the true God” (Rutler 2020). When God revealed himself in a burning bush, Moses did not just get a warm feeling; no, he encountered the true and living God and, following God’s command, took off his sandals, recognizing his feebleness next to the God of eternity. He did not know about Calvary, but he did encounter the truth.
Some American evangelical pastors treat evangelism like a con game. They attempt to trick people into coming to church by entertainment. They play horrible music as loud as they can and shout at people hoping to garner an emotional response to the Gospel. As a result, they create “converts” (and statistics to justify their methods) but not disciples. Numerous newly “saved” people leave in significant numbers shortly after because they never really encountered God or truth. They only had an emotional experience. This is also why a large percentage of “deathbed converts” who recover return to non-belief. They were in a heightened emotional state and reacted; this is what evangelical churches seek to replicate. So many of their new converts stray because their “faith” was based on emotion. If they encountered the true and living God, I think most would run and never come back, while a few would dedicate their lives to truth and willingly defend it.
The modern evangelical Church puts the cart before the horse. I was converted only after failing in every way I knew how to disprove Christianity in front of a learned apologist. He showed me Christianity has nothing to do with culture, or internal “beliefs,” experiences, or emotions, but, at its core, is true. It was not from man but from God. In my mind, I recognized it was true and prayed to God if He was real to show me. And then came a feeling I had never experienced. Beginning in my heart, I felt like it was on fire; it then spread through the rest of my body, but it was not a destructive fire. It was a cleansing renewal, almost a good burn if I had to explain it. The personal experience of encountering the divine came after the transformation of the mind when it encountered truth, not before. Our modern Church’s mode of evangelization treating people as first-century Bible-believing Jews and ignoring educational and, therefore, political influences, has directly led to its ineffectuality in influencing the culture and converting souls. Evangelical criticism of a much more productive Medieval Church seems to me to be the height of absurdity and pride.
In his book Why Men Hate Going to Church (revised and updated), author David Murrow shows how feminism has slowly intruded on the Church, leading to a massive gender gap, with far more women than men regularly attending services. Feminism’s intrusion into the Church leads to poor theology, distorts messages, significantly affects men’s participation in the Church and has contributed to a drastic overall decline in Church attendance in America.
For example, in older forms of hymn singing, men were called to a battlefield to fight for the kingdom of God on earth, but modern praise-worship songs “seem to summon men to the bedroom.” Modern praise and worship songs (also affected by the Christian music industry aiming at their target audience, middle-aged Christian mothers) focus on an intimate, personal relationship that borders on erotic in the male mind and focuses on intimacy and love in a female-to-male context, turning men away. Men follow and love a Lord, not a male lover.
Male fellowship and companionship derive from admiration and respect. They follow a leader. They love their Lord, but not in the same manner that middle-aged modern women do men, and they express it differently. Further, the Bible never says to have an intimate personal relationship with Jesus; Jesus did not call me to it. Christ called men to him as Lord. Friendship, admiration, respect, love, and a bond between brothers similar to warriors who go to war together follow, but these are not the modern Gospel message call.
Music and Church have become emotional feelings of “experience,” “spirit-filled,” and “spirit-led,” centered on a personal relationship with Jesus, who has also undergone a feminization as we ignore His male traits and focus on the feminine. Murrow writes, “The old worship was formal, corporate, and emotionless. The new worship is informal, individualistic, and touchy-feely. The old worship was about coming together to extol God; the new worship is about coming together to experience God.” The focus is now on the heart and not the head. We used to sing up towards God, but now we sing to him in a less hierarchical, more equality-based, horizontal way.
As women and feminism began to dominate churches, they began outlawing alcohol, gambling, and other things men engaged in. Once the Church began marketing to its largest consumer group, and discovered it was middle-aged women, it morphed into its current form. The Church used to be the kingdom of God focused hierarchically upwards, but has now become about equality, relationships, and preserving the family, as well as the “Church family” (as it is now referred to) being elevated above preserving God’s kingdom on earth. The Church has become one big welcoming and loving family to all, and this has replaced Kingdom mission work as the most vital component, to love others (in a feminine way).
The family replaced God as the essential object to uphold even though Jesus never spoke of domestic concerns and, in fact, split families apart by asking people to put the Kingdom of God first. In the modern Church, the family became more vital to uphold than God’s kingdom on earth.
In the Bible, the family is more about jurisdiction, law, inheritance, a local form of government, and how society ought to be structured. It was not the primary focus it has become since feminism has taken over. While the Bible endorsed sex between one man and one woman who are to produce offspring, it is not radically “pro-family” as modern feminist churches are. For example, Deuteronomy 24 allows divorce in certain circumstances. God divorced unfaithful Israel after having “married them” in Jeremiah 3:8 “Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce.”
While feminist influence on the Church has been slowly ongoing for centuries, it was accelerated by the Industrial Revolution (and the women’s rights movement). Money-making now became the male’s most vital role in society, and he was overworked. This left him exhausted, so women would handle everything on Sundays, the day of rest. He only had to pay his dues in the collection box, matching his Church function to that of his place in an industrial society. It is not surprising that over the decades since so many men have stopped attending church altogether.

All I am belongs to her.
I rise or fall, abated or accelerated, by the whims of her smile.
She has no need to impress,
I fall on bended knee to please her.
Before I was conceived, my love for her was true. I will love no other.
Sweet voices may call to me, entice my heart, but they are only hollow echoes, voices of monsters meant to draw me away.
Though demons mount their assault, I will not betray her.
Her sand and salt are as the blood that runs through my veins.
When she hurts, my body aches,
and her pains have been many.
My heart mourns in ghostly haunt, as the moss on her oaks memorialize many fallen sons.
O Carolina, how I long to be in your bosom again, to rest beneath your stars, as do my fathers.
Soon, my ancient love, you will call me home, and my spirit will fly to you one final time.
And once again, we will be united, I will be whole.

Pete Buttigieg removed the pronouns from his X account. Political junkies had an inkling as to why. Pete wants a Senate seat. Off to the middle he goes! Polling is already out despite no official statement. Mayor Pete has an uphill climb ahead of him.
One of Buttigieg’s biggest weaknesses in a Michigan Senate race is the fact that he is not from Michigan and has no deep personal or political ties to the state. Buttigieg is originally from South Bend, Indiana, where he served as mayor before running for president in 2020. Mayor Pete is a clawing creature, grasping for power wherever he can. He cannot win statewide in Indiana, as the last time he tried, he was trounced by over 25% of the vote. He knew his future would have to be elsewhere. In 2021, after joining the Biden administration as Secretary of Transportation, he moved to Traverse City, Michigan, his husband’s hometown. This move appears to be one of convenience rather than genuine connection, as it happened only after he took the cabinet position. Jokes on Michigan; he lives in D.C.
This outsider status makes him vulnerable to the “carpetbagger” label, and this move is just as transparent as Clinton’s NY move. American voters have historically been skeptical of outsiders running for high office. Recent Michigan political history suggests that successful statewide candidates typically have deep, long-term ties to the state machine, such as Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Senator Debbie Stabenow, and Senator Gary Peters. Unlike these figures, Buttigieg does not have a longstanding record of involvement in Michigan politics, governance, or community service.
Republicans and even some Democrats in the primary could use this against him by arguing that he does not understand Michigan’s economic and cultural concerns in the same way a lifelong Michigander would. Ever the McKinsey product, he is parachuting in for personal gain. In a state that values authenticity and blue-collar roots, Buttigieg’s background as a Harvard-educated, McKinsey-trained technocrat could further alienate working-class voters. It is a double helping of ammunition for “out of touch” attacks.
Another problem for Buttigieg is his tenure as Secretary of Transportation. His time in office was marked by high-profile failures and controversies, particularly in areas that matter deeply to Michigan voters.
He cannot play to the inflation angle because of his actions in the Biden administration. During the early years of the Biden administration, the U.S. faced a severe supply chain crisis, leading to shipping bottlenecks, product shortages, and rising inflation. Critics accused Buttigieg of being absent and ineffective in addressing the crisis, particularly after taking an extended paternity leave during the peak of the problem, which comes with optics issues. Michigan’s manufacturing sector was hit hard by these delays. This reinforces the point that Buttigieg was out of his depth in handling national infrastructure issues. Mayor Pete could not level up into Secretary Pete.
Trump & Vance will not let anyone forget another out of touch moment. This one includes comically bad photo ops when he finally did address it. The train derailment and chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio, became a major political flashpoint. Many criticized Buttigieg for delayed action and poor communication, waiting nearly three weeks before visiting the disaster site. Trump beat him to visiting the site. Since Michigan has a strong industrial and transportation sector, voters may be skeptical of a candidate whose response to a major infrastructure crisis was widely seen as slow and inadequate.
Completing the trifecta of bumbling secretary, no one forgets the weekly airline issues under Biden. Under Buttigieg’s watch, the U.S. experienced repeated airline travel meltdowns, particularly during holiday seasons, with mass cancellations and delays affecting travelers nationwide. His critics argue that he has failed to hold airlines accountable. Did he ever push on Boeing for safety issues? No, that was his job. There were no hearings or even performative angry media appearances.
These failures could make Buttigieg vulnerable in a general election, particularly if Republicans frame him as ineffective, out of touch and inexperienced when it comes to managing large-scale issues that directly affect Michigan families and businesses.
Pete’s biggest weakness may be that he is the polished product of the neoliberal era. There is something off about him. Buttigieg has to deal with the perception that his personality and political style do not fit Michigan’s electorate. Michigan is a state with a strong blue-collar, working-class identity, and successful politicians in the state often connect with voters by demonstrating authenticity, toughness, and a deep understanding of economic hardship. That was Trump’s secret to flipping Michigan versus Romney; he appealed to that voter bloc with his policies, messaging and style.
Michigan’s economy is heavily tied to manufacturing, auto production, and agriculture. This is the same as his native Indiana and he failed there. The state has a long history of electing Democrats who appeal to blue collar voters. Buttigieg has a background full of credential accummulating that is often seen as elite and technocratic. He is a textbook striver, who earns pats on the head but has not actually done anything. He went to Harvard, worked for McKinsey, and has spent much of his political career in academic and policy-oriented circles. He is a wonky, polished phony when speaking.
Michigan, particularly cities like Detroit and Flint, has a significant black voting bloc, which is crucial for any Democratic candidate. Buttigieg struggled with black voter support, a problem that first became evident during his 2020 presidential campaign. He sort of won Iowa. Ran poorly elsewhere. His tenure as mayor of South Bend was marked by racial tensions, particularly over his handling of police-community relations. If he cannot secure strong support from black voters in Michigan, it will hurt his chances in a Democratic primary, forget the general election. Will Trump’s flip of Muslims in Dearborn continue versus Mayor Pete? These votes add up at the margin.
While Buttigieg is from the Midwest, his political style often comes across as more coastal elite. Buttigieg often presents himself as a policy wonk rather than a grassroots fighter, which may not resonate with Michigan’s electorate. He has a smarmy look when in candidate forums. When Beto O’Rourke mentioned going after religious organizations in 2020, Buttigieg dismissed the specific tactic Beto suggested but affirmed attacking churches via their tax exempt status in a smug fashion. He sounded weasley compared to Beto, but the message was a bureaucrat finding a backdoor to attack churches.
He will run. He wants another shot at the presidency. There are paths to it via statewide elections, and Indiana offers no easy path. He does not have the guts for a hard fight back home. Pete shuffled across the state border and believes the Democrat machine will brush away the carpetbagger issues and carry him across the finish line. The problem is, the arrogance to assume that and the arrogance to believe he deserves that seat just paints a giant target on his back.

(Preface: Only a day or two following the ushering in of the current year, I received a welcome phone call from our eldest son, who informed me right away that a main purpose behind his call was to run a new idea of his by me. As it happened, before he had finished with his “sales pitch,” I was already one-hundred percent onboard with the idea, and agreed to “give it a go.” His proposition was simply this: that I write a series of short children’s stories dedicated to imparting knowledge of their ancestors to his children and their cousins (my grandchildren) in particular, but which stories, we both agreed, might also serve the educational needs of Southern children and their families more generally over time.
A few days afterward, I began work on the project, quickly turning out a tentative list of twenty-five (25) stories to write about, and of completing three (3) of the stories on the list. Below the fold is one of those three, written in the style of first-hand stream of consciousness. With the gracious cooperation of our editor, I will be sharing more of these stories at this site in the weeks and months to come, God also willing and all that. And my hope is that y’all will respond in one of two ways or both: (1) that you will offer honest and thoughtful feedback, positive or negative; and/or that (2) you will offer ideas for stories you might like to see added to the list. Which suggestions I hereby promise to take into serious consideration, should or when they come. -TM)
My name is Laura Talbot Galt. I was born September 16, 1888, in Louisville, Kentucky. My mother named me after my grandmother, Mrs. Laura Talbot Ross. My middle name is my grandmother Ross’ maiden name. My grandfather Ross died eleven years before I was born. He was a doctor who treated sick and wounded soldiers in Confederate hospitals during the War Between the States (WBTS).
I grew up on the old family homestead near Louisville that has been in the Ross family since the 1780s. My father died when I was only five years-old, so my memory of father is very limited. His name was John Galt. He was a doctor like both of my grandfathers.
My only playmates when I was a girl were the animals on our farm. My pony, Sadie, was the best playmate I had as a girl; she let me saddle her and ride her anytime I wanted with no trouble at all. I was allowed to read any books in my grandmother’s library I wanted to. I read them all except the medical books that belonged to grandfather.
Among the most prized of all my worldly possessions are the many letters and lots of awards I received from ex-Confederates from almost every state in 1902, when I was only 13 years-old. I shall cherish them as my peculiar treasures always! You might like to know how these treasures came to me. I will tell you the story.
When I was only ten years-old, I began to beg my mother and grandmother to enroll me in the common school in Louisville. I wanted to go to normal school like all of the other children my age. They said no at first, but about the time I turned twelve they changed their minds and enrolled me in the school. My teacher was Miss Allen. She was a plain looking young Boston woman with a strong Yankee accent who was not yet married. She graduated from teacher college in the year 1899.
I was enrolled in school in 1901. Miss Allen gave a history lesson that fall about a subject I had already learned much about from my studies at home. This was the now famous story of when Admiral Semmes did not surrender his sword in defeat to Captain Winslow and escaped capture on the Deer Hound. We were told by Miss Allen that this was a breach of honor on the part of Admiral Semmes, but I denied it because I knew the facts of the case that Miss Allen did not tell in her lesson.
Strange to say, but the story told in our history book did not tell about Captain Winslow firing broadside after broadside into the Kearsarge after the white flag of surrender had been raised by Admiral Semmes. This meant that the breach of honor really belonged to Captain Winslow, and that Admiral Semmes was both justified and right in keeping his sword and escaping capture. These are the reasons I gave to Miss Allen for refusing to say that Admiral Semmes was guilty of a breach of honor in that battle.
When that happened I began to see why mother and grandmother did not want me to go to normal school at first. They were wiser about such things than I was. I was so young and naive that I would never have thought this possible, but they knew that the people who write textbooks and train teachers for normal schools sometimes tell stories that are only partly true, and they leave out facts they don’t want pupils to know about.
In my second year at school, Miss Allen made us memorize the words to Marching Through Georgia, a song that glorifies the cowardly acts of General Sherman and his army in making war on helpless women and children. Reading the words of that song made my blood boil then, and I think that is the reason I had no trouble memorizing it. But when Miss Allen later made us sing the song as a class, I told her I would not do it. She said I had to, or I would be punished. I told her I would rather be punished with a whipping than to sing that awful song. Nor could I stand to listen as my classmates sang it, so I stopped my ears with my fingers and hummed a different song while they sang. I thought it was my duty to disobey my teacher in that case, and to take my punishment instead. I did not get a whipping, but a reprimand instead, which was a serious thing in those days.
To this day I don’t know how, but some newspaper man from Georgia found out about the trouble my little act of duty got me into at school, and before I knew what was happening newspaper readers in every state and territory were learning the facts of the case. A short time later, my name and my little act of duty in school became the gossip of many and “household words” wherever there were newspapers and printing presses to be found ‘from Dan to Beersheba.’
Then letters from old Confederates and Confederate organizations suddenly started coming to me, post stamped from almost every state and territory. I even got a letter postmarked Cornish, Pickens County, I.T. One letter that caused me to shout for joy when I read the return address, came from the John Pelham Camp of the UCV (United Confederate Veterans) in Texas. I even read that one to Sadie because so many times she and I had dashed around the farm, pretending we were in Pelham’s artillery fighting back Yankee invaders of our country.
Besides personal letters, I also got official ones on pretty letterhead telling me I was elected “honorary member for life” by more than a few chapters of United Daughters of the Confederacy. I still have the letters from each chapter that brought me that exciting news that I keep together all in one box. One Georgia chapter of The Daughters even had two special brass medals struck in my honor. They sent two delegates to the 1903 State Reunion in Louisville, who gave me those medals as an honored guest at that reunion.
That is my story of how I came to be so richly rewarded with the best treasures a Southern girl proud of her heritage could ever ask for. Even so many years later, I can hardly find words to express how extremely honored I feel when I look at my letters for the thousandth time. And I think of what those dear old Confederates suffered for the cause they loved so dearly, and yet they praised me so highly for such a little act of duty. They did not know how much pleasure they gave me, for I have always thought of their letters as my most cherished worldly possessions and treasures.

The past decade of the alternative media has been a ride, one which at times has been rather harrowing. In the true dissident lane, what it’s not is a job or a grift. If you’re speaking truth to power, it cuts off your ability to conduct financial transactions. You can produce content and do your best to stay on the internet but you’re not going to earn a living in the process. By 2019, just staying on the internet became really tough for us.
Even if you’re merely on the wrong side of power, this happens in America. Some of Trump’s family members were de-banked following his first presidency and even the Jew who owned the Washington Redskins found himself unable to operate an NFL franchise once the name became a target.
It’s impossible to tell the whole truth and stay afloat financially, but if you limit yourself to some truth, you can score big in the supplement game. That’s how entities to the right of Fox News but not all the way over on our wavelength can generate serious revenue. They’re usually selling something with a spurious claim about increasing your vitality or mental acuity. There’s no legal requirement for any of it to be legitimate.
Another business model is based on Zionist and libertarian billionaire patronage, which is why producers of content on the mainstream Right can earn themselves six figures every year for stuff which angers readers to the extent anyone reads it at all. There’s no market for this shit, but one could develop the mistaken impression because it’s out there and people are being paid handsomely to shovel it into the digital void.

They’re consistent in being totally out of touch with whatever is going on at any given time. In the heady nascent days of the modern Dissident Right, it was really fun to mock and troll these hacks who served as a fake conservative zeitgeist and the arbiters of acceptable conservative opinion. This eventually got boring, and the reality was that their illusion of relevance was maintained because they received lavish funding from patrons but had no actual audience which could sustain a team of writers as if they were salaried white-collar professionals.
A feature long noted is that what they’d endorse as acceptable always moved to align with whatever new insanity was being pushed by the Left. For example, I just went to the flagship publication National Review and the article at the top of the page was: I Joined the Trans Academy. Subheading: Where if you were ‘born in the wrong body’ you can try out a new one… Trump was just re-elected over outrage about trannies and this fresh conservative take is bringing in readers? We haven’t even bothered to mock them since maybe 2017.
National Review attempts to get readers to make accounts in order to read articles. This is partially to impede trolling and criticism, which in those aforementioned heady days vexed them so much they had to shut down their comment sections altogether. The other purpose is to give someone the false impression that readers are why the publication exists.
As it turns out, Politico was doing the same thing except that it was being funded by the federal government under the absurd premise that tens of millions of dollars in POLITICO Pro subscriptions were purchased for employees of government agencies “because it makes them better at their jobs”. I laughed out loud at this one.
The growing USAID scandal has blown the lid on how the popularity of the mainstream media is illusory as well. Immediately after it happened, Politico failed to make payroll. Just a bizarre coincidence, we can be assured. However, it’s curious that this shutdown has hit similar European outlets like a tsunami:
USAID was funding over 6,200 journalists across 707 media outlets and 279 "media" NGOs, including nine out of ten media outlets in Ukraine.https://t.co/tLUoBT2GfNhttps://t.co/Siq2RJOXQf pic.twitter.com/LyaUFuq3He

Nothing that the Gay American Empire pushes is genuinely popular with sane, healthy people. Here at Identity Dixie, this has always been our contention about the South. The notion that the South is evil and that America was demanding it be erased as our collective morality matured remains totally absurd. The push to have everything swept away had to be conjured out of basically nowhere because the popular sentiment didn’t exist since there was nothing evil about us.
Mass outrage was astroturfed in the media and then blacks (who didn’t care about Confederate statues or names) and deranged leftists were weaponized to convert this fake popular demand into physical action that intimidated normal citizens. This model of what happened isn’t even unique to our situation.
The same apparatus has been practicing it in Europe as well. Sodomy parades and turning children into trannies aren’t organic national desires that simply arise as history’s long arc bends towards justice. Likewise, having cheap oil and natural gas cut off so that your country can be flooded with migrants and drafted into a war against Russia doesn’t appeal to a general public as there’s no logical reason for this sort of change.
So apparently USAID financed ultra-progressive Politico in Brussels and basically the entire left-wing media in Hungary under the previous US administration. And they called me “disruptor of the year”…
I think the world owes a debt of gratitude to President @realDonaldTrump for…

The good news is that we’re at least watching this apparatus be exposed just as its efforts have been failing. Here in America, they finally had to let Trump win because the backlash would’ve been too difficult to contain a second time. He promptly went on the offensive against USAID without telegraphing his intentions. This is quite impressive for Trump, especially since it played a role in undermining his previous administration. I feel that it’s rather encouraging.
In Romania, the results of a national election were invalidated because voters rejected its agenda. This was done on the grounds of foreign interference from Russia. Objectively this is quite amazing, and the hypocrisy is astounding. The primary international targets of the apparatus, Russia and China, figured out how it operates and banned its cancer cells years ago before they could metastasize.
In other far less powerful nations such as Serbia, Slovakia, and Georgia, it has also been able to stir up massive trouble but at least it has been immediately identified as the culprit. That’s a really significant development and a lesson that had to be learned the hard way.
For instance, I’ve always considered myself far less credulous than a mainstream consumer, but I watched a color revolution unfold firsthand during a business trip to Taipei in 2014 and didn’t even realize how it had been brought to fruition, or by who, until around six years later. These days, I know immediately what’s behind the trouble that pops up in a particular country whose populace is being recalcitrant about the Gay American Empire’s agenda.
Trump’s blow against USAID is a victory for the truth. Enjoy those where you can. In the meantime, I was photographed speeding on a traffic camera and this article isn’t going to pay for the ticket so I’m getting back to my grind. America takes financial bites out of your ass every day and I haven’t even filed taxes yet.
So 90% of "subscribers" to left-wing publications like Politico are fake and "taxpayer funded". And then using fake subs to artificially pump up revenue, Politico gets to sell itself to German propaganda giant Axel Springer for $1 billion. https://t.co/j8wEv5MybL

The post Always the Dollars appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Regular reader and valued ID commenter, Outside Looking In, recently asked of me (here) which part(s) of my native State comprise the Confederate part(s).
This is a great question I have been asked, and have answered, many times over the last fifteen or so years. However, when I’m pressed for time and/or space (such as in a combox), my answer to the question is always woefully incomplete; it is very simply to procure a map of the state and, beginning at the state’s northeast terminus, to draw an imaginary line from there to the southwest terminus of same. The territory south and east of the line being the Confederate part; the territory north and west (including the panhandle) being the Unionist part of the state.
Now, there is some irregular overlap on both sides of the line in the foregoing demarcation, but the model is nevertheless a close approximation. If you are one familiar with the old pre-statehood (pre-November, 1907) maps of the Indian and Oklahoma Territories, they give an even closer approximation, distinguishing those areas of the state originally settled by Southerners, versus those parts originally settled by their Northern counterparts. On those maps in particular, the Indian Territories previously allotted to the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee and the Creek tribes, are all Confederate territories for purposes of answering the question.
There are a number of reliable ways by which one may verify this information, one of which is the 13th United States Census taken in the counties and precincts scattered about in Oklahoma in 1910. One column (column #30) on that document having been devoted explicitly to enumerating “Whether a Survivor of the Union or Confederate Army or Navy.” Survivors who served the Union being identified in the column by the initials “Ua” (Union Army) or “Un” (Union Navy); whereas survivors who served the right side of that conflict are alternatively identified as “Ca” (Confederate Army) or “Cn” (Confederate Navy) on the document. County-by-county and precinct-by-precinct examinations of these documents for the State of Oklahoma (1910 Federal Census) verify the lines of demarcation as above alluded to. Here is a sample:
Earl Township, Jefferson Co, OK, 1910
Another way of verifying the information previously given is to examine the list of “Confederate Cards” on file in the State’s Historical Society database, and to compare the locations in the state of the pensioners in that file to the lines of demarcation previously established. A typical card in the file is seen below. I chose this particular card as my example because it was issued in the name of my 2nd great-grandmother on my father’s side of the family, Elizabeth Jane Singleton Pruitt, who received a Confederate Widow’s Pension in Oklahoma from 1924-1941, as entered on the card:
1910 was also the year construction of the Confederate Home of Ardmore, OK was completed. The home was opened in 1911. The home’s location in the heart of that area of the State once commonly referred to as “Little Dixie” is further confirmation of the facts given above. I wrote about the home at this site, October 19, 2020; I later wrote about two of the home’s most active and important benefactors on March 15, 2021, here.
As a crow flies, the home of my 2nd great-grandmother above-mentioned was between five and six miles almost due west of where the Confederate Home of Ardmore still stands, although she was taken care of by family in her extreme old age, and was therefore never an inmate there. A section of Rose Hill Cemetery of the same city (Ardmore) contains the graves of upwards of four hundred (400+) of Confederates and/or their widows who were inmates of the home and who died while residing there. Here is a photo of the home at its dedication ceremonies in 1910:
Forts Washita (Durant) and Gibson, as well as Confederate supply depots such as Boggy Depot near Atoka and Bugtussle Depot near McAlester, etc., also bear witness to the facts previously given. And speaking of McAlester, for many years the town was known as the Capitol of Little Dixie, no doubt due to its central location in the heart of Little Dixie, coupled with its founding by prominent ex-Confederates and their sons. Additionally, McAlester served as the base of operations from which Commander Daniel M. Hailey published the annual Record of Confederate Veterans of the State of Oklahoma until his death:
Of course the number of Confederate graves and those of their spouses and children that grace the many cemeteries within the boundaries of Little Dixie also bear witness to the facts as given above.
There you have it, brothers and sisters, the southern and eastern parts of Oklahoma are in fact Southern and Confederate, by the Grace of God! My eternal thanks to Outside Looking In for the question as he posed it, and to our worthy editor for publishing my answer to the query. If ever I am asked the question in the future, I will simply direct the inquisitor to this article.
God Bless Little Dixie!
The post Oklahoma’s Southern & Confederate Creds appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Father Dabney’s recent article on Trump as a type of Alexander the Great, the last leader of an empire before its splitting apart, resonated with us quite strongly. In our age that idolizes the masses (democracy), the ability of strong leaders to change the course of history is downplayed. But it has been proven through the ages, from Righteous Gideon to Cincinnatus to St Vladimir of Kiev.
There is another saint of Georgia, a holy king named Ashot, who is also a strikingly good example of this. Muslim Arabs had conquered Georgia and were ruling over her people when he inherited the crown in 786. He attempted to drive them out, but was bested in battle and decided to flee. But the Lord’s Providence led to a different outcome:
Ashot was compelled to leave Kartli, and he departed for Byzantium with his family and small army. The refugees journeyed as far as Javakheti in southern Georgia and stopped near Lake Paravani for a rest. But while they were sleeping, a Saracen army assailed their camp. The king’s army was doomed, but “God helped Ashot Kuropalates and his scant army. He bestowed power upon them, and they defeated an enemy that greatly outnumbered them.” The king was deeply moved by God’s miraculous intervention and decided that, rather than journeying on to Byzantium as he had intended, he would remain in the region of Shavshet-Klarjeti.
King Ashot led the way to a renewal of Christian life in Georgia, despite the devastations she had undergone:
At that time southern Georgia was suffering great calamities. A cholera epidemic intensified the struggles of a people devastated by a ruthless enemy. Very few had survived, but that powerless and wearied remnant gladly received Ashot Kuropalates as their new leader, and the king began to restore the region at once.
Ashot Kuropalates restored Artanuji Castle, which had originally been built by King Vakhtang Gorgasali and later ravaged by the Arab general Marwan “the Deaf.” Ashot founded a city nearby and proclaimed it the residence of the Bagrationi royal family of Klarjeti. He also constructed a church in honor of Saints Peter and Paul. As it is written, “God granted Ashot Kuropalates great strength and many victories.”
The region of Klarjeti took on a new life, and through the efforts of Saint Grigol of Khandzta and his companions, the former wasteland was transformed into a borough bustling with churches, monasteries, and schools. Georgian noblemen soon began traveling to Klarjeti to forge their nation’s future with King Ashot and the other God-fearing leaders.
When God grants us deliverance from external enemies, it is then that we must be vigilant against internal threats. St Ashot let his guard down, and because of that his work was undone:
But after some time the usually virtuous King Ashot fell in love with a certain woman. He forgot his honor, his achievements, and his loyalty to God and the nation and took her to Artanuji Castle, an estate that had been built for the queen. Saint Grigol, however, heard about the king’s adulterous relationship and became exceedingly sorrowful.
He repented, but as with the Holy King David of Israel, the damage caused by his sin would reverberate and have horrible consequences for his people:
The king rediscovered his love for God and his country, and he prepared to return to Kartli. But his plans were foiled when a certain Muslim warrior named Khalil invaded, conquering the lands of Kartli, Hereti, and Kvemo Kartli.
Ashot sent his men to assemble an army, but before the troops had been gathered, the Saracens attacked and forced them to flee. The king then traveled to Nigali Gorge with the intent of enlarging his army. Some of the draftees turned out to be traitors, and when the king discovered the betrayal, it was already too late. He hid in a church, but the godless men found him and stabbed him to death in the sanctuary. “They murdered him on the altar, as though slaughtering a sacrificial lamb, and his blood remains there to this day,” writes Sumbat, the son of Davit, in his book Lives of the Bagrationis.
… Venerable Grigol and the Georgian people wept bitterly over the loss of their king and hope. Saint Ashot’s holy relics were buried in the Church of Saints Peter and Paul that he himself had built.
Dixie has a grand tradition of excellent leadership: Francis Marion, N. B. Forrest, Francis Nicholls, and many others. Why does the Lord withhold from us another leader of their caliber who will help us rebuild an independent, Christian Dixie, like St-King Ashot? Perhaps it is our sinfulness: This should always be our first assumption. Perhaps, as Father Dabney said, there are still other preparations that need to be made on an earthly, practical level. Without a clairvoyant prophet it is difficult for us to say with certainty.
Thus, we should do the things we have been told clearly to do: Seek holiness, seek friendship and union with God, love our neighbors and families, honor our ancestors, etc. Let us prepare ourselves as best we can so that we will not delay, but rather hasten, the day when the Lord might grant us a liberator like the Holy Prophet and God-seer Moses. Let us put away any internal vice that might doom us to further subjugation to the Yankees/globalists.
Dimitri Obolensky says something fascinating about language and Christianity: ‘… a language which serves as a medium for the Christian liturgy becomes thereby a sacred language, and… the nation which speaks it is raised to the status of a people consecrated to God’ (The Byzantine Commonwealth: Eastern Europe, 500-1453, Praeger Publishers, New York, 1971, p. 334). Our language here in the South has been so blessed, from of old. One can still listen to that liturgical language, like the 23rd Psalm and the Lord’s Prayer, recited in the Old English tongue of many of our forebears if he wants to go back that far in time.
This is a great blessing, but also a heavy burden, for more is required of those who know about the Christian Faith.
As the remnant of a Christian people, then, we await the Lord’s deliverance from our foes, working all the while in anticipation of that day (should He indeed desire to bring it about), as many Christians in the past have done – seeking deliverance from barbarians, from heretics, from Arian Vandals, from Muslim Arabs and Turks, from atheist communists, and so on. Let us do so with humility, as the Psalmist taught us, for this attracts the Grace of God:
But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying (Psalm 70:5).
The post Awaiting the Next Southern Ethnarch appeared first on Identity Dixie.
One of the reasons I tend to only discuss history and current events with my fellow dissidents is that I’m always tempted to bring up a relevant Jew with someone who purports to grasp something that happened and then shut him down when he has no idea to whom I’m referring.
I never do this, but the temptation is always lurking. For example, if someone was explaining World War One or Two, my first query would be about Bernard Baruch. In a country where everything is based on a lie, it might be refreshing to put a dilletante in his place once and awhile.
Since we’ve begun Black History Month, the Jew I’d name is Stanley Levison. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Jewish instrument whose character, intellect, personal life, and ideological outlook would’ve been deeply unpalatable to white Americans. This would include the majority back then who had no experience with black people and looked down on Southerners as cruel and backwards.
Levison acted as King’s primary handler. This is how the Civil Rights Movement, which was actually an operation by Jews to strip white people of their constitutional rights, was sold as something noble. Levison came up with sophistry like judging someone by the “content of their character” instead of their race, which sounded palatable to naive white people who didn’t realize they were targets. King didn’t have this sort of talent, and that’s not what he believed or probably any black people believe.
Behind this malicious movement with a black facade aligned the power of all branches of government, business, and the media. This is how it was forced on white Americans who collectively swallowed it due to the sophistry. Of course, it has not played out as promised over the ensuing decades.
Black people, if left to their own devices, wouldn’t come up with any political movement, let alone a Civil Rights Movements with a specific set of disingenuous objectives aimed at preventing white people from keeping to themselves, advocating for their own interests, and organizing as a group. Hitherto, we’d been both constitutionally and culturally entitled to do so.
Black people didn’t care about white people doing any of these things and probably couldn’t grasp how this would be an unsuitable state of affairs for black people, because in practice it never had been. They certainly couldn’t organize themselves to militate against it, either.
The NAACP’s first president was a Yankee named Moorfield Storey, a descendent of Puritans from Massachusetts. By the time the Civil Rights Movement was set in motion, such functions had been overtly absorbed by Jews. For example, Kivie Kaplan was the president of the NAACP from 1966 until he died in 1975. Basically, this organization was like calling an antebellum plantation a black farming operation. It’s run by black people now since there’s no use for it anymore.
In terms of leadership, the black “leaders” of the Civil Rights Movement wouldn’t stand up to modern scrutiny, but there are plenty of days left in this month. Therefore, on a contemporary note the Democratic Party decided to jettison diversity because it’s in such dire straits over the Trump platform.

Real black leaders in America are the guys who dress up in funny costumes and shout at people on street corners about how they’re the real Jews. There was only Obama, he was it at the perfect time. He can’t even do the trick now because that time is long past. There’s nobody else; that’s simply the depth of the demographic talent pool the DNC has its disposable.
Everybody wants the illegals gone, including black people, but the mayor of the Chicago warzone is saying that Trump’s presidency is what it would look like if the Confederacy had won. I’m not a fan of these hypothetical future scenarios, but why would the Confederate capital be Washington DC, and a Yankee real estate hustler as its president?
These black politicians don’t pass any sort of intellectual muster. But, like I said, neither do almost all black people, which is why they have no real political movements or leaders.

…always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience,…
1 Peter 3:15-16 (ESV)
The first thing to understand is that, when one decides to argue our side of this issue, in public spaces and on social media in particular, (s)he had better be well-prepared and in accord with the spirit of my epigraph. This is because the other side is always lurking and looking to pounce on what they at least perceive to be (y)our greatest weaknesses. Needless to say, if their perceptions are in fact correct, then they will be successful in painting our arguments as being without merit and foolish, and us as ignorant fools. All of that said, allow me to offer would-be defenders of the initiative a few basic pointers.
A common talking point of our detractors on this issue, and the one they are most likely to resort to at the very outset, or very early on at least, is the idea that:
In the debates around the 14th Amendment, the only persons discussed as not “subject to the jurisdiction” were foreign diplomats and “Indians not taxed.”
This is a demonstrably false assertion, but the problem our side too often runs into when it comes up (and it definitely will come up, so be prepared for it) is our side’s general lack of familiarity with the content of the debates alluded to. I will demonstrate that this argument is false below, but I highly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the debates in their entirety as well.
Now, there is not a strict “written-in-stone” order to this; the order the arguments come at you in is of little or no importance; the important thing is your familiarity with their arguments, and the answers to them. Also, I humbly recommend that you take a defensive posture when arguing our side of the question. Meaning, let (y)our opponents follow their natural impulses to be the aggressors, and let it be their choice whatever angle and in what order best to attack you from and with. If you’re prepared, none of that will matter anyway, as already iterated. The other thing is to resist the urge to anticipate every angle they are going to hit you from, and to answer it all in one long diatribe. Oftentimes, “less is more,” so don’t give away too much information at one time as you answer their objections.
The answer to the assertion above-mentioned is that it is simply not true, and we can begin the process of demonstrating this by quoting Senator Howard of Michigan in his introductory remarks, introducing Section I to the full Senate fresh out of Committee. He said, in part:
This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to families of embassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.
Herein lies the wisdom undergirding the “less is more” approach. Not being familiar with the actual contents of the debates themselves in most cases, but more relying on their own circle’s talking points instead, our interlocutors will almost invariably resort to attacking our interpretation of Senator Howard’s statement, saying that his words, “foreigners,” and “aliens,” do not mean what we think they mean, with reasons given. Again, it is important that we allow our opponents to have their say on the matter, before we proceed to deconstruct their narrative.
There are several but equally effective ways of answering these charges, but I will share only one that I use from time to time for brevity’s sake: without citing any sources of my own (i.e. keeping them in reserve for the time being), I will sometimes answer their objections by way of asking them to cite their sources, and patiently awaiting their citations. At this point, they are likely to cite Blackstone, and English Common Law, and that sort of thing. And this is when I will point out that members of the 39th Congress were, well, Americans, and that, as such, they relied heavily on distinctly American definitions of the terms in question. E,g., Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language(more on this later), as well as established American usages, and institutions, etc.
At some point in the discussion, it becomes expedient to “slam dunk” your earlier assertion declaring their continued mistakenness, by the introduction of new (to them) quotation(s) from the debates. Remember, they don’t know these statements are in the debates; they’re relying on, as I said above, the talking points incessantly repeated back and forth within the “academic” circles they fly in. In any case, I will usually cite Senator Trumbull at this point, who said:
The provision is that “all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.” That means “subject to complete jurisdiction thereof.”… What do we mean by “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States?” Not owing allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means. (emphasis added)
My approach to this is to let the implications of the contributions of Senators Howard and Trumbull sink in, before I pull out the ultimate “slam dunk,” citing Senator Johnson of Maryland. To wit:
Now, all that this amendment provides is, that all persons born in the United States and not subject to some foreign Power – for that, no doubt, is the meaning of the committee who have brought the matter before us – shall be considered as citizens of the United States. That would seem to be not only a wise but a necessary provision. If there are to be citizens of the United States entitled everywhere to the character of citizens of the United States there should be some certain definition of what citizenship is, what has created the character of citizen as between himself and the United States, and the amendment says that citizenship may depend upon birth, and I know of no better way to give rise to citizenship than the fact of birth within the territory of the United States, born of parents who at the time were subject to the authority of the United States. (emphasis added)
“Parents.” As in the plural. “Who at the time were subject to the authority of the United States.” Now you know why Obama’s citizenship, “natural born” or otherwise, was always a big issue with the “birther” community. But that’s another matter entirely. Or is it?
I see that I am already running dangerously close to exceeding the minimal word count parameters I have set for myself for one article, and that I cannot possibly finish without far exceeding the upper limit (1,500 words), so I beg your indulgence to allow me a second part. We’ll get into why e.g. Webster’s original dictionary, etc., has an important bearing on the issue in part II, but in the meantime I will leave you with Jefferson’s hostility towards reaching back past the American founding to Blackstone et al, in search of answers to internal disputes:
I fear nothing for our liberty from the assaults of force; but I have seen and felt much, and fear more from English books, English prejudices, English manners, and the apes, the dupes, and designs among our professional crafts. When I look around me for security against these seductions, I find it in the widespread of our Agricultural citizens, in their unsophisticated minds, their independence and their power if called on to crush the Humists of our cities, and to maintain the principles which severed us from England. I see our safety in the extent of our confederacy, and in the probability that in the proportion of that the sound parts will always be sufficient to crush local poisons. In this hope I rest, and tender you the assurance of my esteem and respect.
God save the Southland!
The post How to Defend Trump’s Birthright Citizen Initiative, Part I appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Yesterday, among all the buzz related to Canada and Mexico tariffs, Trump began the process of establishing an American Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF). The move was almost unnoticed. In fact, it seems somewhat crazy that the United States did not already have an SWF – but decades of financial mismanagement by the U.S. government played a role. The other reason the United States did not have an SWF is because of the Federal Reserve Bank. The creation of a SWF effectively returns financial power to the American Republic. The following explains what it is and why it pulls power away from the Fed.
Sovereign Wealth Funds are essentially government investment programs – a nest egg of sorts. Every single American state has some sort of publicly funded fund, usually to cover pension programs. Globally, some of the best managed countries (financially) have a SWF, including China, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Norway – among others. The largest SWF is Norway’s, with $1.7 trillion in assets, the proceeds of which are serving the needs of 5.5 million Norwegian citizens. It should be noted that many poorer countries also have SWFs, often as a means to enrich kleptocrats.
Without getting into the nitty gritty, an American SWF would likely mirror a 401K type investment program. It would hold a mixed allotment of various commodities, stocks, and bonds, which should appreciate year over year through compound interest and earnings. Generally, SWF’s usually only rise – albeit often slowly – because they invest in safer assets, like bonds and commodities (oil, gas, gold, etc.). Stocks are often either a blue-chip variety or a corporate pursuit aligned with a national interest. The managers of the SWF are held accountable based on the performance of the SWF, which generally leads them to avoid personal passions or silly sociopolitical pursuits.
How this is structured would have to ensure that such funding is not robbed by a future leftist president who only invests in DEI, LGBTQ nonsense, or failing green energy schemes. It also needs to be defended from being used as a money pot to increase spending arbitrarily. That can be done, but Trump will need to recruit people who think like leftwing activists to help insulate future abuse of the SWF by another activist presidency. When I did my MBA Capstone project on International Finance, restructured SWFs and fiscal sovereignty for the Republic of Ireland were my two key points back when Ireland was climbing out of a massive post-bank collapse indebted status. The Irish government has since turned one SWF into a social justice piggy bank (something I feared and warned against almost 15 years ago). Thus, Trump will need to really dot every “i” and cross every “t” to ensure that does not happen in the United States. But it can be done.
Now, how does this undermine the Fed? It immediately eliminates the Fed’s monopoly on debt management. In essence, it crushes the Fed by acting as a counterweight to its debt/loan/repayment structure.
For those unaware, the Federal Reserve is the largest holder of U.S. debt in the world. In effect, an unelected American quasi-government agency holds about one-third of our massive debt. The Fed literally makes money on American spending, by charging interest back to the American people. The reason politicians ignore the debt is that they know it is a ponzi scheme. The more we spend, the higher the Fed can raise rates, the more it makes, the more it can re-loan… cycle, repeat. It is a shylock’s dream (look up what a shylock is, and you will quickly see the main culprits).
If the United States has an SWF that is structured to meet some of its budgetary needs (as with Norway), the United States will not need to turn to the Fed as its default move. The money can be withdrawn from the proceeds off earnings, which cuts the Fed out of its loan shark game – or at least diminishes it. By establishing an alternative pot of money, Trump is weakening the Fed almost overnight. In business, such redirected investments protect against hard times and mitigate predatory banking maneuvers. An SWF – if it is built correctly – can do that for the American people.
It is a smart move by the Trump team – if they can pull it off and insulate it from wild leftist pursuits. The latter is easier said than done. One option is to study the investment strategies of Jimmy Patronis, former CFO of Florida, who led Florida to multi-billion year-over-year surpluses without an income tax while crushing BlackRock. Other funds that should be studied are out of the UAE and, of course the most successful of them all, Norway. This can be a huge win for Americans – if the Fed doesn’t kill the idea in its infancy, or the leader who proposed the idea.

If you visit Europe, you’ll quickly realize that they’re White and you’re White, but these are people from quite a different place with a different lifestyle. On the other hand, if you visit Australia and New Zealand, you’ll quickly understand that these people are basically living American lifestyles, but they can’t drive on the correct side of the road.
They’re undergoing a mass migration transformation just like ourselves but they’re also burdened with some diversity that was there from the beginning. The last time I was in Australia (their internet blocked Identity Dixie), it was for an industry convention and every single time there was a speaker, they had to acknowledge the wisdom of the elders of the Chungkagunka tribe whose land, despite being nomadic to the point of not even bothering with clothes, that the conference center had been built on.
Meanwhile, they must grapple with the fact that these people are so wise that they need PSAs not to huff gasoline or sleep in the road. Every time anything happens in Australia beside a natural disaster, their wisdom must be acknowledged. I notice everything but Australians seem to tune it out the same way Americans tune out the gruesome drug commercials.
It’s very easy to get down on America after realizing that this might be the most wicked and absurd place to ever exist with the most belligerent and entitled women running rampant all over it, but please bear in mind that things are tough all over. Never lose sleep wondering if our pain will be inflicted on others, it shall. This has been going on for quite some time so don’t feel sorry for yourself.
New Zealand’s Parliament was temporarily suspended after Māori lawmakers performed a haka, a traditional dance, demonstrating their community’s anger and fear over a bill that aims to reinterpret the country’s founding treaty with its Indigenous people. https://t.co/nu55lS7Y8M pic.twitter.com/xLNIkMQagk
— The New York Times (@nytimes) November 15, 2024
I always found it weird that Indians (the red kind) had some special reverence in America, when in the Declaration of Independence, it was stated that having them inflicted on the population was one of their main grievances against royal authority. Our forefathers were rightfully upset that King George III:
“endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.”
Yeah, so this dispute clearly wasn’t about casinos or the sale of untaxed cigarettes. Anyways, the people in New Zealand think this haka dance thing is really cool and do it before sporting events. What about guns, though? You could shoot them while they’re doing their dance to scare you. Skeleton crews of White people didn’t conquer the New World by accident.
It’s not even the guns. The Spanish annihilated the Aztecs in open medieval battles using knights essentially. The Aztecs were operating some sort of horrific Satanic human sacrifice cult. Likewise, the Māori were cannibals who’d literally eat a weaker group they came upon. Why is there some reverence or sympathy? Objectively, this is quite bizarre.
In terms of objectivity, I’ve dealt with lots of diversity over the course of my life and various dealings. For example, Chinese people can consider a situation objectively. This is why they find America to be so insane at this point. However, they’re mainly concerned with themselves and there’s more than a billion of them in a country around the size of the United States with many more all over Southeast Asia. In terms of genetics and the demographic/geographic situation, they’re inclined towards solipsism.
I speak Chinese and they even distinguish linguistically between vegetables that aren’t of Chinese origin. The notion they’re trying to become the next America and take over the world like Trump’s incoming National Security Advisor claims is farcical and ignorant. They’re building up their military because we encircled them and want to do a regime change and then take Tibet and Xinjiang off of China, dramatically reducing its geographical size and resources. The Chinese actually have other priorities they’d rather focus on.
On the other side of the spectrum, black people are both solipsistic and incapable of objectivity. This makes them like the perfect storm of being unable to figure much of anything out. However, they do figure some things out and I give them credit for doing so.
For example, I was having a conversation with a higher-functioning black person yesterday who remarked that the dysfunction of a particular situation was due to the fact that there were “too many nggas*” with a say in how things were being done. I’d gauge her assessment as correct.
On the subject of Gaza and how more money should be spent on black people in America instead, she observed that this was why Hitler realized he had to deal with the Jews. Her insight was that if you don’t wipe out the Jews, they’ll take everything over with their money and wipe you out. Such musings are coming out of many black people at this late stage. I’m really enjoying it.
WARNING / NSFW Disgraced podcaster Myron Gaines, also known as Amrou Fudl, just unleashed a disgusting, racist tirade against the Jewish community:
– refers to Jews as "fcking fggots"
– claims they are pushing pornography, central banking, & government control
– believes… pic.twitter.com/itB9ePMneg— StopAntisemitism (@StopAntisemites) November 14, 2024
Blacks have been effectively used by Jews for many years as a weapon against America, but as the entire situation becomes undone, they’re playing a hilarious role in pointing out that Jews are the problem. They only care about themselves, so you can’t make them feel bad about a fake genocide that happened a long time ago.
Due to the characteristics of black people, they are impervious to being made to feel guilty about something so abstract which also had nothing to do with them. They usually just say whatever they feel like saying at any given time.
In terms of White Americans, I worry that my friends with silver oak leaves suffer from a delusion, perhaps one of personal necessity, that the U.S. military is the best in the world and fights on the side of righteousness. This leaves them unable to assess a situation correctly, while someone in the alternative media can look like Nostradamus by comparison despite holding no rank at all.

I’ve been saying from the start that the U.S. military would never defeat the Houthis. Meanwhile, they thought that Houthis would be sent packing by “debilitating” airstrikes. There’d be no rational cause for concluding this is how the situation would develop, especially in light of all the catastrophic denouement in Afghanistan and the ongoing modern conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. They only way to reach this conclusion would be to feel that the U.S. military is the best and we’re the good guys.
I’m not sure we’re I’m going with this; I just had a bunch of scattered thoughts in my head from perusing the news this morning. Everybody is different, so take that into account. I guess that’s my point. Please have a wonderful day and never forget that the total collapse remains imminent. You’ve yet to feel true sensation of fear.

I always love when I anger both pro and anti-Trump folks. Some think I am far too harsh and critical of Trump. Others think I am some kind of supporter. I assure you that I am not really either pro or anti-Trump because I am a Southern Nationalist. I am pro-White, pro-Christian, pro-Southern, and more specifically, pro-Florida (my home country). I advocate secession. The Union, as it is configured, is a mistake and I wish to see Florida depart from the Union as quickly as possible.
When it comes to Trump, I will point out his flaws. I was once one of his most ardent supporters (2016) – running several pages dedicated to his election and spending the bulk of 2016 on the campaign trail. I was in the Trump Pentagon as late as 2019 (prior to Charlottesville catching up to me). I personally witnessed the chaos of the Trump military. I was dejected at the complete lack of leadership shown by the White House while the DOD ran buck wild DEI and GloboHomo agendas. From 2017 – 2019, the U.S. military began its complete war on White Christians – led by anyone higher than an O-4.
When Trump does something bad for White people or Christians, I will call him out. When Trump does something that harms the South, I will hold him accountable. When Trump makes a decision, an appointment, or a speech – if it is not in the best interest of the White Southerner – I will say so. Blindly supporting Trump is foolish.
Correspondingly, if Trump does something good, I will applaud it. Unlike leftists, I am not against most of that which he says. I am certainly not against his voters, many of whom are my family members, neighbors, congregants, and friends. When he achieves on their behalf, I will praise him. Blindly hating Trump is foolish.
Do I have high hopes about a Trump presidency? No, I do not. I think he will fall into a lot of the same traps as last time – mostly because of his personal style and his outrageous connections to the Jewish people. It boggles the mind when you see Trump’s love of the Jews and “who” led the greatest assaults on Trump: Cohen, Zuckerberg, Zucker, Greenblatt, Oppenheim, Lipowitz (aka, Lorne Michaels), Schiff, Schumer, Vindman, Soros, Lauder, Yellen, Eckstein, Blinken, Emhoff, Tapper, Weiss… the list is large enough to fill a temple in Tel Aviv. I wish Trump would be more pro-Christian instead of pro-antichrist.
If I am wrong, and he does amazing things – great! I will cheer those victories. If he fails terribly, I will hold him accountable for those actions. I will not be a cheerleader for Trump, but I will not be a perpetual detractor, either.
Either way, we still have 2028 coming. We have four years to prepare. Unlike 2016, let’s not fall asleep this time. Let us use these four years to get ready for the sake of our people.
The post About Trump appeared first on Identity Dixie.
We live under a system which is evil and premised upon lies. It’s therefore impossible to discern any sustainable logic out of it because this isn’t the nature of evil. As the end nears, the script becomes increasingly absurd while occasionally punctuated by reasonable moments such as the 2024 elections. The unsustainability of our situation might be one of the few things to discern with total consistency.
This system uses the concept of democracy to manufacture consent for policies that no average voter desires. There’s no connection between the desires of the electorate and turning children into trannies, mass migration, endless wars to further Jewish ambitions, and central banking. However, through democracy, this connection is implied because its victims can vote.
Under this system we’re also subjected to nefarious Jews whose agenda is mainly to sow chaos. This is how we get Soros buying up DAs to unleash a black crime wave and punish White people forced to defend themselves. These parasites eat at the hull of the ship without regard to how far out to sea the vessel has gone.
These particular Jews can’t even stand the notion that White Americans might feel as if they have a fighting chance. They have a rabid hatred of Trump as a consequence. Clearly, their priorities were sidelined this time around. Soros made enormous investments in races and buying up hundreds of radio stations.
It was all for nothing. Some of his DA candidates even lost in California. Voters were that fed up with the chaos Soros had unleashed and they know to be wary of his candidates now. This is heartwarming, but picture it within the context of global events.
Other Jews can recognize that certain things need to be prioritized, and that there are consequences to consider. Just because they have the power to do something doesn’t mean it should be done. I think that’s what happened with our current elections. A repeat of 2020 when Americans are plagued by mass migration and suffering from rampant inflation wasn’t a good idea. I don’t know how the consensus was reached, but I’m convinced it was decided to let Trump win.
What convinces me isn’t actually their concern over the optics of their actions. This rarely ever restrains Jews as we can see in grim detail with the ongoing genocide in Gaza. It’s the fact that the American public will require a legitimate leader to rally it when a conflict is triggered with Iran that nobody wanted ahead of time, including this particular leader. We’ve seen the maneuver before.
Harris being elected by mail-in ballots after Trump won at the polls on election night wouldn’t be productive for the tenor of public sentiment on such a matter. The side show of Trump next getting sent to prison would also be problematic if a war is underway. This election checks all of the boxes on Trump’s legitimacy for a reason that didn’t exist back in 2020.
So, what happened last week is probably what we would’ve watched happen in 2020 without all the fraud. It was also interesting that none of the pieces were coming out again about how democracy had been fortified. There were a number of simulated exercises as a rehearsal for the screw job ahead the 2020 elections. We were informed ahead of time how those elections would unfold in Biden’s favor.
The NYT explained that Trump would get enough votes to win at the polls and then Biden’s mail-in ballots would arrive, so institutions had been strengthened to suppress outrage from Trump’s voters. That’s pretty much what transpired. Afterwards, triumphal pieces were published about how democracy had been saved.
The fact that none of that stuff was published this time around seemed like a significant indicator that he’d win. Moreover, no major figure is saying he’s illegitimate like they were screaming in 2016. The lack of MSM freakout over his victory because it was stolen by the Russians feels like confirmatory evidence. The script for 8 years is abandoned, our democracy’s greatest enemy sweeps everything, and it’s fine? This must be for a purpose.
War with Iran isn’t another ambitious project like reshaping the map of the Middle East through the Global War on Terror. This is something that will inflict immediate pain on ordinary Americans rather than just the members of the military and their families. Americans don’t buy hydrocarbons from Iran but Iranian sales to other countries are critical to keeping global oil and gas prices contained. It’s the same thing with Russia.
Trump’s plan is basically to threaten both nations with military escalation while squeezing their exports with sanctions and offering American supplies to their importers at significantly higher costs. Somehow, they’ll be forced to comply with ZOG. This seems wildly ignorant of how both prices and production function. Also, that Trump’s targets have been overcoming sanctions meant to collapse their economies for years along with all of the other seismic shifts and cooperative resistance to ZOG occurring on the international stage.
The U.S. military is furthermore incapable of taking down either nation in a conventional conflict. NATO’s weapons and advice have been wiped out in Ukraine and the Houthis have defeated the U.S. Navy. Israel’s strike on Iran with American weapons achieved nothing. Trump’s plans are laughably bogus and amount to grandstanding for an election. Nothing about what he proposes is feasible.
This is where issues must be examined from the necessity of the Zionist project in Israel. Even at the rate things are going with Hamas and Hezbollah, the Israeli state is becoming non-viable. While sustained fundamentally by parasitism, its domestic economy depends on manpower now mobilized by the military and tourism from abroad. With both gone, the effects have been devastating. The political situation is in chaos.
The state of Israel exists because the Jews there have felt mostly safe from the Arabs of which they’ll eventually be rid. As soon as these Jews were in danger, large areas of Israel were depopulated. This could apply to the entire country as Jews utilize their capital and international mobility to leave under the threat of Iranian bombardment. This is all happening right now without a war, and thus Iran has endured enormous provocation to avoid fighting one with Israel and its golem, the USA.
If Israel is unwilling to abandon the Zionist project and the existential obstacle posed by Iran is to be removed, this would have to be achieved by the U.S. military. Everything we’ve learned since 9/11 proves that the U.S. military can’t achieve what the Jews want. Yet it remains the last hope of Zionism.
Trump’s picks on Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense and Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence shows that he now understands his agenda can’t be implemented with appointees vetted through the national security apparatus. However, they’re quite far from Nazis and have nothing against fighting for America’s global dominance.
They’re great for a narrative about how this apparatus has been cured from DEI, though. Americans will need to feel like the military is fighting for them again and we’re pulling free from the cultural miasma into which we were dragged further than ever by the Biden Administration.
Most of the other functionaries around Trump are Jews or their rabid dogs for their agenda, such as the next Secretary of State Marco Rubio. There’s a coterie of them that are downright ominous. Plenty of bad advice will be available when Trump has to avenge some dastardly deed supposedly committed by Iran.
My take is to look at the top prize that Jews need to take from Trump 3.0 and don’t be surprised when some incident he wasn’t expecting outrages the public and leads to the catastrophic conflict with Iran that Jews seem to feel is their last best hope. These elections aren’t about us, just the manufacture of our consent.
You’ll never go wrong with cynicism.

“If centralism is ultimately to prevail; if our entire system of free Institutions as established by our common ancestors is to be subverted, and an Empire is to be established in their stead; if that is to be the last scene of the great tragic drama now being enacted: then, be assured, that we of the South will be acquitted, not only in our own consciences, but in the judgment of mankind, of all responsibility for so terrible a catastrophe, and from all guilt of so great a crime against humanity.”
Alexander Stephens
The second wave of states to leave the Union were the Upper South states. These included Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, and pro-Confederate Kentucky and Missouri, who held divided loyalties. The Upper South states of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas had a more extensive free population than the Deep South and made up most of the Confederacy. In general, there was a difference in the causes of secession between the original seven seceding “Cotton States” of the Deep South and the remaining Upper South. When the Cotton States left the Union, the Upper South either turned down voting on withdrawal from the Union or voted against secession. Historian E. Merton Coulter writes, “The Majority sentiment in the Upper South had been unionist until Lincoln’s call for troops… Upper South… had cried equally against coercion as secession.”
When many historians talk about secession, they almost always ignore the Upper South; they unanimously point instead to the Cotton States. I believe this omission is because connecting slavery as a cause with the Upper South would be much more difficult. Further, looking at their causes of secession exposes the transformation of our Union into a centralized nation under Lincoln.
Lincoln’s Call for Volunteers
“The South maintained with the depth of religious conviction that the Union formed under the Constitution was a Union of consent and not of force; that the original States were not the creatures but the creators of the Union; that these States had gained their independence, their freedom, and their sovereignty from the mother country, and had not surrendered these on entering the Union; that by the express terms of the Constitution all rights and powers not delegated were reserved to the States; and the South challenged the North to find one trace of authority in that Constitution for invading and coercing a sovereign State.”
Confederate General John B. Gordon, Reminiscences of the Civil War
Like the Cotton States, the Upper South saw itself as a collection of sovereign states joined by a contract, the Constitution; if that contract was violated or not upheld, it could and should be discarded. Many believed that peaceful secession would be allowed to occur and that the principles of the Declaration of Independence would be allowed to play out peacefully. DiLorenzo quotes the reactions of multiple Northern newspapers as showing substantial support for secession. Many in the North perceived that this war was one of the self-governing states versus a controlling central federal government. In Lincoln Unmasked, DiLorenzo tells us that before being deported by Lincoln, Northern politician Clement Vallandigham accurately describes Lincoln’s purpose for war:
“Overthrow the present form of Federal-republican government, and to establish a strong centralized government in its stead… national banks, bankrupt laws, a vast and permanent public debt, high tariffs, heavy direct taxation, enormous expenditure, gigantic and stupendous peculation… No more state lines, no more state governments, but a consolidated monarchy or vast centralized military despotism.”
Clement L. Vallandigham
The North’s support for secession was strong before it became clear how much of an impact secession would have on government funding, as the South was the North’s “piggy bank.” Further, free trade policies in the South would dominate the transatlantic trade since the North desired higher tariffs. If the South had been allowed to form their Confederacy, free trade policies in the South would have drawn even more commerce to Southern ports rather than Northern. So, the North would lose the primary contributor to their economic plans, and they would lose out further due to their higher tax rates, and Europeans would trade with the free trade Confederacy. Not a good situation when you are looking to expand central spending.
Lincoln’s call for volunteers to suppress the “rebellion” of the Cotton States caused the secession of the Upper South. The Cotton States felt that the federal government violated their agreement, and the Upper South believed that they had every right to leave, even if the Upper South disagreed with their reasons for leaving. As R. L. Dabney explained, “However wrongfully any State might resume its Independence without just cause, the only remedy was conciliation, and not force, that therefore the coercion of a sovereign State was unlawful, mischievous, and must be resisted. There Virginia took her stand.”
According to many Republican politicians, the Union was not a voluntary contract between sovereign self-governing states governed by a constitution, but rather a centralized nation. Washington D.C., rather than “we the people,” was the authority. The states, the people, were subjects, servants, and pupils of the state. In his first inaugural address, Lincoln said that the Union predated the Constitution. He referred to the Union as a “national government,” and a “government proper,” a “national union.” Lincoln said, “The Union will endure forever, it being impossible to destroy it.” He argued that the Union was not “an association of States in the nature of contract.” His opinion was that “No State upon its own mere motion can lawfully get out of the Union.”
The choice given to the Upper South was clear. They could either remain under the Republican-ruled coercive national government or join the Confederacy, whose Constitution maintained the Union and a compact of sovereign states. On June 4, 1861, The Western Democrat of Charlotte, North Carolina, said the Confederacy was “The only Republic now existing in America.” The old Republic had become a democracy ruled by King Numbers. This was an easy choice for the Upper South.
The Upper South saw Lincoln’s call for volunteers as a violation of the Constitution, a metamorphosis in government, and a violation of their states’ sovereignty. In 1863, the Address to Christians Throughout the World by the Clergy of the Confederate States of America suggested that the Yankees, “Fight not to recover seceding states, but to subjugate them.” This was a war of self-governing sovereign states versus a federal government that was willing to use military force against its own population to keep them under its jurisdiction. The Union was no longer a collection of self-governing bodies based on consent, but a nation controlled by a dictatorial oligarchy. Consent of the governed was eliminated. The Upper South could not go along with what they viewed as oppressive actions by Lincoln and this transformation of the Republic.
“Subjection under an arbitrary and military authority, there being no law of Congress authorizing such calling of troops, and no constitutional right to use them… it is the fixed purpose of the government…to wage a cruel war against the seceding states… to reduce its inhabitants to absolute subjection and abject slavery… Lincoln… is now governing by military rule alone… without any authority of law, having set aside all constitutional and legal restraints, and made all constitutional and legal rights dependent upon his mere pleasure… all his unconstitutional illegal and oppressive acts, all his wicked and diabolical purposes… in his present position of usurper and military dictator, he has been and is encouraged and supported by the great body of the people of the non slave holding States.”
Journal of the Convention of the People of North Carolina, May 20, 1861, pp 11-12
Professor of History at Longwood University Bevin Alexander wrote in his book, Such Troops as These, “Forced to choose between Lincoln’s demand and what they believed to be morally correct and honorable, four Upper South states… seceded as well.” The Upper South refused to become slaves to any government of unlimited power. In State Sovereignty and the Doctrine of Cohesion, J. K Spaulding wrote in 1860, “Hapless would be the condition of these states if their only alternative lay between submission to a self-construed government, or, in other words, unlimited powers and the certainty of coercion.”
“Virginia… was not willing to secede hastily; but the demand of President Lincoln that she furnish troops to fight her sister States, ended all hesitation… preferring to fight in defence of liberty… to place themselves as barriers in the way of a fanatical Administration, and, if possible, stay the bloody effort to coerce independent states to remain in the Union.”

“All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government as originally organized should be administered in purity and truth.”
Gen. Robert E. Lee quoted in The Enduring Relevance of Robert E Lee: The Ideological Warfare Underpinning the American Civil War, Marshall DeRosa
“It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up, we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.”
Confederate General Patrick Cleburne, 1864
Lincoln and the Republican Party had transformed the Union from a confederation of sovereign states to a centralized nation controlled by the majority. He endeavored to expand the central government beyond its scope in order to achieve a political agenda. The North had abandoned the Constitution and the Republic and replaced them with a centralized democracy; in other words, a limitless government. The Upper South had no choice but to join the Confederate Constitution, which maintained the “original compact” theory of the Union.
It was believed in the South that it was the North that should secede. Quoting Henry Wise of Virginia, historian James McPherson says, “Logically, the Union belongs to those who have kept, not those who have broken, its covenants… the North should do the seceding for the South represented more truly the nation which the federal government had set up in 1789.” The South saw the growing majority of the North interfering with the culture within their states and violating the Constitution. They observed that democracy and mob rule would take over America. The South wished to restore America to its original Constitution, a Republic of confederated states, in order to preserve liberty and self-government.
“If they [the North] prevail, the whole character of the Government will be changed, and instead of a federal republic, the common agent of sovereign and independent States, we shall have a central despotism, with the notion of States forever abolished, deriving its powers from the will, and shaping its policy according to the wishes, of a numerical majority of the people; we shall have, in other words, a supreme, irresponsible democracy. The Government does not now recognize itself as an ordinance of God… They have put their Constitution under their feet; they have annulled its most sacred provisions.”
Dr. James Henley Thornwell of South Carolina, Our Danger and our Duty
True Unreconstructed Southerners carried no blind patriotism for a tyrannical democracy like “America.” In a democracy, not even the Constitution or the Declaration could protect people from the mob. Decades after the war, Major James Randolph wrote the popular Southern folk song, “I’m a Good Ol’ Rebel.” Here are some of the lyrics:
O I’m a good old rebel,
Now that’s just what I am.
For this “fair land of freedom”
I do not care a damn…
I hates the Constitution,
This great republic too…
I hates the Yankees nation
And everything they do,
I hates the Declaration,
Of Independence, too.
I hates the glorious Union-
‘Tis dripping with our blood-
I hates their striped banner,
…
And I don’t want no pardon
For what I was and am.
I won’t be reconstructed,
And I don’t care a damn
That was the old Southerner. Propaganda like “land of the free,” “home of the brave,” meant nothing to a people who had their government toppled, their self-governance eradicated, and their former way of life destroyed.

The results of the 2024 elections continue to generate lots of important news stories, but one that has not gotten any headlines thus far really ought to be glaring at us from above the fold: the ridiculous disparities in political power between urban and rural counties (parishes for those in Louisiana).
The attention of most people has understandably been focused primarily on the federal presidential race, so we will begin our analysis of the power disparities there.
Donald Trump won both Texas and Wisconsin – the first by a fairly wide margin of the popular vote and the second by a very narrow margin. But if we look more closely, Trump’s victory was a great deal larger than it appears in both States (all data below comes from NBC News’s 2024 election pages).
In Texas, he won with 56.2% to Kamala Harris’s 42.4% of the popular vote. Yet, Harris won only 12 counties to Trump’s 242 – an astounding difference that is not reflected at all in the popular vote. Trump’s victory in the county totals comes to 95.3% to Harris’s 4.7%. Such differences should be taken into account in State-wide elections (we will enlarge upon that below).
In Wisconsin, Trump squeaked by Harris in the popular vote, 49.6% vs 48.8%. But he trounced her in the county vote, winning 59 to Harris’s 13, making Trump’s county victory in this State 81.9% with Harris taking only 18.1%.
Similarly wide gaps show up in the presidential contest in other States, too – Michigan, Minnesota, Georgia, Oregon, etc.
And this chasm between popular vote totals and county vote totals becomes even more absurd in other State-level elections.
There were a number of ballot initiatives in the States to be decided on November 5th. Those dealing with abortion received the most attention. Because of that, we will limit our analysis of them to the abortion ballot measures.
In Montana, the pro-abortion initiative won with 57.3% of the popular vote to 42.7%, a solid majority. But the initiative actually failed to win approval in a majority of counties: only 24 voted in favor, with 32 voting against, making a roughly equal percentage of counties against: 57.1%.
In Missouri, things begin to look even more ludicrous. A ‘right to abortion’ amendment passed with 51.7% of the votes in favor to 48.3% against. But get this, folks – only 10 counties out of 114 voted in favor of this amendment to enshrine a right to rip apart babies in the womb. Thus, an abysmally small 8.8% of counties decided the outcome on this terribly important issue.
But Nebraska, if one can believe it, is worse than Missouri. The outcome is positive – a pro-life stance prevailed in both ballot measures (glory to God!) – but the influence of just a few counties was almost enough to change that. The right to abortion initiative failed, 51.2% of the popular vote against and 48.8% for. But only 4 counties voted in favor of this initiative vs 89 against, and this nearly brought a win; that is, only 4.3% of counties nearly made abortion an uncontestable right in Nebraska. Likewise with the amendment to limit abortions to within the first trimester: it won, 55.3% to 44.7% (popular vote). In this contest, only 2 counties voted against vs 91 for, which means that an outlandishly tiny 2.1% of the counties put this measure within reach of defeat.
South Dakota, Nevada, New York, and Florida also had striking urban-rural splits on abortion measures.
The old federal provision that counted each slave as 3/5 of a free voter evoked shrieks of outrage in the past. Yet some of the rural counties that we looked at above haven’t even got that much voting power when contrasted with their urban counterparts. In the last ballot measure of Nebraska that was discussed, each of the 91 rural counties had only 0.14/5 of the voting power as each of the two urban counties, a ratio that is much worse than that of the slaves. That is quite a heavy punishment to bear for simply living in the peaceful fields and hollers of the countryside.
With all this mind, it is imperative that two things be done to protect rural counties, the bulwarks of conservative habits and beliefs, from being made totally subservient to their urban counterparts. First, all State-wide elections should be required to gain a majority of both the popular vote and the county vote in order to be considered properly decided (Southerners will recognize this as a variation of John C. Calhoun’s idea of the concurrent majority). Second, cities/urban counties must be rescued from the dangerous, harmful, anti-human, and anti-Christian ideologies that have gripped them and made them useful idiots of leftists, globalists, etc. This will take a firm hand from State-level officials – governors, State legislators, judges, AGs, etc. – but the alternative is to watch conservative Red States be destroyed from within by the evils gestating in Blue counties and cities within them.
Who will lead the way to correct these injustices? The State Freedom Caucuses certainly could. They should immediately make it a goal to implement a double majority rule for all State-wide constitutional amendments, initiatives, and the like, so that a geographically-isolated popular majority can no longer impose their ideological values unilaterally upon the wide breadth of Red counties/parishes in their particular States.
The Freedom Caucuses in Montana and Missouri in particular, States that had abortion measures that would have failed if a concurrent county majority were needed, should be at the forefront of this battle.
After elections over amendments are secured, the double majority rule could then be extended to State-wide elected officials – governor, judges, etc. And lastly, apportionment of electoral college votes for the federal president could be adapted to this principle, so that half of a State’s electors would be given to the winner of the popular vote and the other half to the winner of the most counties.
Whoever takes up the mantle of leadership in this cause, whether Freedom Caucus members or others, we eagerly await their appearance. Normative Christian policies will be too easily thwarted until the double majority is implemented.

René Guénon is an interesting author. I don’t necessarily agree with all of his theories and ideas, but his writings force those of us living under modernity to challenge our foundational beliefs.
I’m re-reading through one of my favorites from him – The Crisis of the Modern World – and particularly enjoyed his section on agnosticism (and by extension, modern scientism/atheism):
For Aristotle, physics was only “second” in Its relation to metaphysic. That is to say it was dependent on metaphysic and was really only an application to the province of nature of principles that stand above nature and are reflected in its laws; and one can say the same for the cosmology of the Middle Ages. The modern conception, on the contrary, claims to make the sciences independent, denying everything that goes beyond them, or at least declaring it “unknowable” and refusing to take it into account, which comes to the same thing in practice. This negation existed for a long time as a fact before there was any question of erecting it into a systematic theory under names such as “positivism” and “agnosticism,” for it may truly be said to be the real starting point of all modern science. It is, however, only in the nineteenth century that one sees men beginning to glory in their ignorance — for to proclaim oneself an agnostic means nothing else — and claiming to forbid others any knowledge to which they themselves have no access, and this marked one stage further in the intellectual decline of the West.
By seeking to cut the sciences completely away from any higher principle, under pretext of assuring their independence, the modern conception robs them of all deeper meaning and even of all real interest from the point of view of knowledge, and it can only bring them to a blind alley, enclosing them, as it does, in a hopelessly limited realm. Moreover, the development achieved within this realm is not a deepening of knowledge, as is sometimes supposed, on the contrary, it remains quite superficial and consists only in that dispersion in detail to which we have already referred.
René Guénon – The Crisis of The Modern World
Guénon certainly went off the deep end later in his life (he converted to Islam, was provided an Arabic wife by a fellow Muslim, and ended up dying in Egypt after becoming disillusioned with Catholicism), but his work is still incredibly insightful for a modern reader. A good, short introduction to him can be found here.
One reason I enjoy his work is because of those flaws, and that he lived a life inline with what he truly believed. His life is a good example of a dissident that goes insane from a desperation to fill that traditional void that modernity strips from us.
In this particular quote above, he combats agnosticism. Where agnosticism is:
… human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist…
Which is, exactly as Guénon describes it, a glorification of ignorance. He notes that modernity’s obsession with rationalism is a degeneration from a traditional frame.
Even Nietzsche would say that our scientism/rationalism has simply replaced religion, and in practice has become a religion of its own. Nietzsche often said that the Renaissance just switched out one religion (Christendom) for another (humanism). The primary difference is that Nietzsche would not agree with the concept of absolute truth, whereas Guénon spent his life trying to find that truth through Tradition (capital T).
Agnosticism is simply a hyper-modernist rendition of extreme rationalism to the point of absurdity. Guénon demonstrates this in the book by showing that the modern man is so focused with rationalism that he takes it to the extreme of not being able to actually rationalize anything. It transcends religiosity. This happens principally because the modern man has nothing to connect to that is higher or above himself, so nothing can be learned through true metaphysics. Thus, the end of any train of rationalist thought will conclude with an “I don’t know”.
The rationalist believes everything must come from a scientism view. Nietzsche and Guénon are both right in that our modern framework is the worship of human reason (spiritual ignorance and a prideful belief in humanism) which is a degeneration from the past. I don’t agree with the conclusions or solutions from either author, but their analysis of the problem is sound.
Guénon’s work is one of my books in The Recommended Reads section on my website. If you haven’t viewed that list yet, I highly encourage you to do so.
Modernity denies to anyone else the knowledge that any single person can’t figure out. Which is why in our current climate we have no knowledge, or intellectual intuition, or a stable being. We have only confusion and clown world.
But the agnostic would claim that they can’t even know that for sure.

This past week, an outlandish story was reported by various news sites that the FBI thwarted an attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The story makes no sense. Summarizing the details, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) allegedly tasked a 51-year-old former Iranian ex-patriot who was previously deported by the United States after a criminal conviction to kill Trump.
I spent almost twenty years in some capacity operating to check Iranian power. I have a master’s degree in Islamic studies specific to Ja’afari Shiism (official faith of Iran). The Iranians have been a focus of mine for more than two decades.
The FBI is lying, again.
It is my belief that the system is trying to manipulate Trump’s narcissistic impulses to get him into a war with Iran. Undoubtedly, the Israelis are helping them. Trump and his team have signaled that they want nothing to do with foreign wars. What better way to suck him into an attack then to try to kill him and his family? The problem is simple: the IRGC does not operate this way.
Sepāh-e Pāsdārān-e Enqelāb-e Eslāmī (official name of the IRGC) is highly sophisticated. They have plenty of well-trained assassins. They are for Iran that which Special Operations is to the United States. They also have a significant diplomatic advantage. Iran enjoys diplomatic immunity by virtue of its United Nations delegation. They can enter and leave the United States at will and by law, they cannot be molested by U.S. law enforcement or intelligence bodies. In other words, they could easily bring a professional “hit man” into the United States with the means to eliminate a President-elect. They do not need to hire a 51-year-old goofball cab driver with admittedly no training.
I find it more ironic that an agency which did everything possible to kill his last presidency and probably played a role in the two assassination attempts on Trump in Pennsylvania and Florida, suddenly saves the President’s life a day after he won by a landslide. The story does not add up. I strongly suspect that the DC beast needs a war for a lot of reasons. What better way to do it than to have the Iranian boogeyman kill a President who is beloved by millions of White men? White men, by the way, who are no longer joining the military, but might, if Iran killed their guy.
No one in their right mind believes that any FBI agent is “good.” You can smell the Satanic sulfur from I-95 when you drive by Quantico. This nonsensical hoax about Iran was likely concocted by the Feds and their Hebrew masters at 3514 International Drive NW (i.e., the Israeli Embassy).
Does Iran hate Trump? Yes. Would they like Trump dead? Highly likely. Would they kill Trump if they could? Maybe. What they would not do is provoke a President-elect whom they fear with a cartoon character of a gunman.
Do not buy another FBI lie.

I don’t know about you, but I keep finding articles online and listening to podcasts that regurgitate this idea that “the elite’s Covid agenda failed because the masses raised hell!” or “we stopped the globalists enforcing Covid tyranny!”
It’s a common normiecon talking point. All I can think is… are we on the same planet as these people?
Do they actually think we won? With the vast majority of the population jabbed? With a population that now normalizes such draconian lockdowns over an insignificant problem like the Covid cold?
Nearly every single thing the elites wanted they got. Our elites got the normies completely riled up. Up to the point that they enforced Covid vaccines, got hundreds of thousands fired from their jobs, instilled widespread fear, and normalized such a response for future events.
Contrary to this new imaginary narrative, there were very few widespread protests. And when there were, they almost always got shut down rapidly and violently.
Then, the elites willingly stopped their own covid agenda – for purposes that are not 100% clear yet. “We” sure did not do it. They did.
The elites even created Covid tracking apps as templates. Many countries around the world were already implementing them and their populations were going along with it.
But then our own leadership stopped. They coordinated the stop. Just like they coordinated the start of it all.
Listen, I am not saying that the scientism community stopped. Many of them are still crying about it even today. But they are the intelligentsia. They are not the ones with the actual power. The politburo/isolated class are the ones with the genuine power. They are the ones that winded down Covid worldwide.
The politburo could’ve pushed more. They were in a prime position to do so, especially when the vaccine first came out and fear was at its maximum. But they chose not to. That sure wasn’t because of people fighting back.
I still fondly remember those days. I attended every single protest within 100-mile radius of where I lived. There were never more than a maximum hundred people in attendance (usually far less). Everyone else stayed in their homes and hid. Or complained online and did nothing in person.
Very few exceptions existed; the big one being the Canadian trucker protest. But we saw how quickly the government smashed them when it wasn’t convenient. They could’ve done that to anyone. But they didn’t need to because so few actually stood up.
Australia and New Zealand were magnificent case studies. They had some of the harshest restrictions and some of the lightest resistance. But they still stopped when the rest of the world did.
Frankly, no one knows why they stopped when they did.
My assumption is that Covid was always meant as a test run. To normalize such a response, and to make such ‘martial law’-type responses not seem extreme. Probably for a future event. Something far more serious than Covid, that they also create (no different from Covid).
That is my best guess. I don’t understand why they stopped when they did. From my perspective, it looked like a straightforward route to full totalitarian power. Instead, they held off. Which makes me even more nervous of why. They were waiting for something else.
One thing is for sure, they did not stop because of a widespread resistance movement.
I’m not trying to reduce the efforts of many, especially probably many of my own readers. I know you fought as I did. But we all have to accept that the gray masses did nothing. Because living with that reality is how we plan for the future accordingly.
Creating an imaginary scenario that didn’t actually happen will serve us no good in the future when this happens again.
We have to accept the fact that the gray masses are a lost cause. We will never see a mass resistance movement, unless our guys are at the head of it. Which means we need institutions, organization, and strong men willing to stand up.
Back then, we did not have that. But we are building it now.
Let us work toward this goal and not try to rewrite history to make the situation seem better than it was.
It is a classic motto: remain in our reality or die in your own illusion.

As has been covered elsewhere,[1] the Medieval king, as opposed to the monarchs who emerged during the 14th century and the pre-Christian pagan emperors, was quite weak. He was unable to create law, and he was a servant to his people, who owned their customs. The people’s customs and laws ruled everyone equally, including the king, who gained his power and authority from the law. If he did not perform his duty correctly or attempted to expand his authority, he was resisted by all, priests, princes, and peasants alike. He had little control or influence over more than 99% of the population, including his own vassals. He often struggled to maintain his supposed authority over them.
The rulers could not interfere with the rights of the people or manipulate them in any way.[2] Historian Fritz Kern wrote, “The medieval State, as a mere institution for the preservation of the law, is not allowed to interfere for the benefit of the community with private rights.”[3] Historian Régine Pernoud wrote a medieval king “possessed none of the attributes recognized as those of a sovereign power; he could neither decree general laws nor collect taxes on the whole of his kingdom nor levy an army.”[4]
Many kings, even among the most powerful realms, were merely symbols of power. In 1016 a German prelate from the Kingdom of Burgundy stated, “The King has now nothing save his title and crown.”[5] Historians Oliver J. Thatcher and Edgar H. McNeal wrote the Holy Roman emperors “become mere figureheads in Germany and Italy.”[6] The local authorities had become so autonomous of the king that historian Frederic Austin Ogg wrote they “had scarcely so much as a feudal bond to remind them of their theoretical allegiance to the Empire. The one principle of action upon which they could agree, was the central monarchy should be kept permanently in the state of helplessness to which it had been reduced.”[7] At various times in Germany, years passed without an emperor. Other times, the emperor was in Italy neglecting his northern realms or in Germany, ignoring his Italian territories. Likewise, the Doge of Venice “had much magnificence, but little real power.”[8]
Feudal historian Marc Bloch declared France was “in practice almost without a King.”[9] Historians Brian Tierney and Sidney Painter described him as “an almost powerless figurehead in the tenth century.”[10]Ogg called the Frankish king’s power “pitiable and ridiculous” and “insignificant.”[11] Even when the king was a direct lord over a vassal, he often had difficulty implementing his commands; his vassals generally ignored them.[12] Medieval scholar Thomas Madden wrote by the 10th century feudal kings “had almost no control over most of their vassals and therefore could claim sovereignty over only a small portion of their kingdom”[13]Many powerful vassals of France defied the king on his own lands, and without the aid of local lords, Kings often could not travel safely outside of their own territory. Some Dukes in France even barred royal officials from entering their realms. King Philip I could not control even those lords within his own lands.[14]Many French lords didn’t even bother swearing a symbolic fealty to their king.[15]
Thatcher and McNeal wrote, “The authority of the king in the feudal state was very limited. This was due chiefly to the fact that each lord exercised practically sovereign rights over his lands and dependents.”[16]The late Carolingian dynasty and the early Capetian kings of France could only influence a small geographical area. And even within their own lands, they struggled to control lords with castles who openly defied them.[17] It was not until the 12th century the King of France, under Louis VI, was able to bring the royal lands “firmly under his control,”[18] marking a strengthening of the French kings.
Moreover, the feudal king was often not the most powerful lord in his country—he was one among many, and his lordship only extended to his ancestral lands whence he derived his income.[19] Professor Thomas Asbridge wrote, “The titular kings of France struggled even to control a small territory centered around Paris, while the Frankish realm fractured into numerous dukedoms and counties whose power eclipsed that of the royal house.”[20]Thus, a king could not violate his vassals’ local traditions or become tyrannical, or he could face opposition from vassals as powerful as he was—or more so.[21] And these were the very lords he counted on for his troops and prestige. The medieval king rarely could think of expansion because, as Tierney and Painter explain, King Phillip I of France was “completely hedged in by vassals far mightier than he.”[22]In comparison, the US government today directly controls 25% of the landmass, making it the largest landholder in the country.[23]
Ignoring the local Byzantium and Saracen systems, after the success of the First Crusade, Westerners took feudalism with them to the Holy Land and instituted what Professor John L. La Monte believed to be the ideal feudal state; one which like the western realms, had no legislative ability.[24] The King in Jerusalem depended on his vassals for military aid and was under the control of the barons’ court and law derived from customs. The barons would force decisions on the king against his will and interests, even removing him if he refused to obey.[25] Even the kings’ marriages could be influenced and controlled by their own vassals.[26] If vassals believed a war the king waged was unjust or not part of their agreed obligations, they were free not to engage in it. The kings of Jerusalem, like those of feudal Europe, only controlled their own royal domains, while great baronial fiefs and various principalities were governed autonomously, with their own courts and customs.[27]
The King of Jerusalem had no powers in and of himself. He first needed permission from the Haute Cour (High Court) before attempting to take action.[28] Their first “king” Godfrey, refused to take the title of king in the city where the “king of kings” suffered and died. Instead, he was the “defender of the Holy Sepulcher.” In Western Europe in the Middle Ages, Tierney and Painter wrote, “The Latin kingdom of Jerusalem was the perfect feudal state, where the king enjoyed no powers except those given to the suzerain by feudal custom.” Scholar Malcolm Barber wrote within the kingdom there was a complete “absence of any institutional infrastructure,”[29] even operating for a time without coin or currency.
One King Under LawThe Medieval king held less power than any top government position has held at any other time. There was a long period where government interference was at a minimum. Under kingship, the law is the true king. Laws and ancient customs were the rulers, the Grundnorm to which kings and lords had to submit.[30] Law and custom were the two towers of the legal system, not a monarch or a majority of men.
Medievals understood law and justice as deriving from God’s eternal nature. God does not change, and so neither does law, or justice. Like the Ten Commandments, they are set in stone for all people throughout all time. There is no need for the ability to legislate or alter law because perfection is from the past. Any new “law” should simply reinstate the old more perfectly.[31] Kern explained;
Law is old; new law is a contradiction in terms…According to medieval ideas, therefore, the enactment of new law is not possible at all; and all legislation and legal reform is conceived of as the restoration of the good old law which has been violated…the Middle Ages knew no genuine legislation by the State. The ordinances or laws of the State aim only at the restoration and execution of valid folk- or customary law. The law pursues its own sovereign life. The State does not encroach upon that. It merely protects its existence from outside when necessary. Whole centuries elapse without the smallest signs of legislative or ordaining activity in our sense.[32]**
The old law is derived organically from the people and nature. Innovative laws derive from men rather than divine law and thus are invalid. Professor and historian Andrew Willard Jones wrote “A ‘new’ custom was basically synonymous with ‘bad’ custom.”[33] There was no “active” form of government molding and adapting society; instead, it was reactionary. Government and law only came in to render justice after a disruption of the peace. It was anarchistic as there was usually no government. It arose like a wave and then faded until it was needed once more.
Under medieval political philosophy, peasants did not have to worry about incoming rulers changing customs or infringing on their rights. The idea was to “preserve” and “protect” the existing order of the old traditions and laws. Everyone was expected to live under the law; historian Susan Reynolds wrote, “Every ruler…from the emperor or king down to the head of a household, was supposed to rule justly and according to custom. Every unit of government was assumed to be a community with its own customs.”[34]
The oaths kings took at their coronations were not merely religious symbolism but an actual agreement they would serve and be under the people’s customs and laws. Thirteenth century jurist Henry de Bracton wrote “The king himself must be, not under man, but under God and the law, because the law makes the king…for there is no king where arbitrary will dominates, and not the law.”[35] Historian James Morrall described the medieval king and his councilors’ mindsets “as guardians of the law; he and they had as yet no intention of creating new law. Such an intention would have been, from the point of view of these early medieval times, not only superfluous (for if the law is good, why change it) but even semi-blasphemous.”[36] Thomas Becket told King Henry II they should not “consent to any innovation.”[37] Likewise, historian Frederic Seebohm wrote, “Tribal life might well go on repeating itself, generation after generation, for a thousand years, with little variation.”[38] Even King Alfred only “added” laws that derived from earlier laws of previous kings.[39]
No one, not even a king, could be elevated above the law. French philosopher Bertrand de Jouvenel compares a common miller with a king before the law “as far as the miller’s right goes, it is as good as the king’s; on his own ground, the miller is entitled to hold off the king. Indeed there was a deep-seated feeling that all positive rights stood or fell together; if the king disregarded the miller’s title to his land, so might the king’s title to his throne be disregarded.”[40] Professor Hans Hermann Hoppe wrote, “on his own land every free man was as much a sovereign as the feudal king was on his.”[41]
In the feudal order, the king derives his power from the law and the community, the source of his authority. The king could not abolish, manipulate, or alter the law since he derived his powers from it. Unlike monarchs, the king was simply a member of the tribe, given the obligations and duties he owed to his people. Thomas Aquinas wrote, “people are not made for the prince, but the prince for the people.”[42] The various customs called for a king to perform specific duties such as protecting the Church, caring for widows and orphans, ruling justly, protecting his people, and upholding the law. Before becoming king, he took an oath declaring he would honor and preserve law and justice for everyone.[43]
A king had no power to alter the law he was subject to and derived his own power from.[44] The law depended upon the whole community obeying it. For it to be degraded or violated in one instance would destroy the whole law. Thus the tiny encroachments on our freedom we now suffer daily would have been decimated upon arrival by a united medieval society—prince, priest, and peasant all.
Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to GodKings could give commands but not make laws, and if his command fell outside his jurisdiction, he would face “universal”[45] resistance. Under kingship, if a king or lord violates the law and becomes tyrannical, his vassals and others under his authority are no longer bound to give fealty to him. By law, they are to resist him, upholding the law and removing the tyrant. He could lawfully be attacked, removed, and lose his property.[46] If a king were to remove a vassal from his fief unjustly, it could ignite a revolt on the part of his other vassals and the people.[47] Fealty was to the law, not the person. Giving allegiance to a king was giving it to what he represented—to his function under the law.
On Christmas Day in the town of Bethlehem, Baldwin I of Jerusalem was consecrated with oil and crowned king by the Patriarch. During the ceremony, it was announced “a king is not elevated contrary to law…he who takes up the authority that comes with a golden crown takes up also the honorable duty of delivering justice…he desires to do good who desires to reign. If he does not rule justly, he is not a king.”[48] A king acts according to justice and law. A tyrant is not a king and therefore, deserves no fealty, honor, or obedience. He has replaced the law with his own will. Such a perspective stifled innovation (the attempt to legislate, to expand the powers of government). Law had to be both old and just. Any new law declared by the king, unless it was just and conformed with old law, was not binding; it was not law.[49]
If any ruler did not follow just laws, failed in their obligations to their subjects, or enacted unjust laws, then those rulers should be strenuously resisted. A 13th century legal document read “We should serve our lords for they protect us. If they do not protect us, justice does not oblige us to serve them.”[50] Saint Augustine states, “An unjust law is no law at all.”[51] Thomas Aquinas argues, “Every law laid down by a human being has the nature of law only insofar as it is derived from the law of nature. But if in some respect, it is in disagreement with the natural law, it will not be law but a corruption of law.”[52] He further says corrupt law “has the nature, not of law, but violence.”
King Richard II of England, for example, was removed from the throne because he “strove to overthrow the law of the land to which he had sworn.”[53] He disobeyed the law, took actions a king could not legally take, and was imprisoned and replaced. Nobles would simply take on a new king if one became oppressive.[54] Originally leaders of the First Crusade paid homage and fealty to Byzantine Emperor Alexius I. Still, the Emperor failed to support them in their desperate situation at Antioch, and in the Crusader prince’s eyes, they were no longer oath-bound vassals since their lord failed to hold up his end of the bargain.
When the kings of England and France began to tax churches and clergy Pope Boniface VIII condemned their action in a papal Bull as “evil.”[55] But his wrath was not only against the kings but also against the clergy of those realms, who failed to resist the new and unjust action. He condemned the clergy for “fearing more to offend man than God.” They had chosen peace and ease over doing what was morally correct. He threatened excommunication to the lords and the clergy who obeyed the tax.
A lord had to be ever careful, walking on pins and needles, watchful not to offend any custom or rights of his people. Historian Maurice Keen notes there were “endless individual baronial rebellions against overlords who they claimed had oppressed them or had infringed on their rights.”[56] Liberty was worth dying for.[57] A lord could face a duel if he were accused of violating his vassal’s rights—an excellent incentive to keep him from trying to lay aside the law. The tyrant, disregarding law and putting himself above it making his own, incited the subjects’ duty as part of their oath of fealty to resist him when he overstepped and abused his authority.
Who decides if a king or lord has overstepped his boundaries? Kern informs us “The decision of this question rested with the conscience of every individual member of the community,” and “The government had to preserve every subjective right of every individual.”[58] Medievals were individually minded. Aquinas taught “nothing but individuals exists except in idea; the notion that individuality is a delusion is a delusion.”[59] Whether it was education, prayer, relationship with God, or politics, they considered the individual rather than groups.[60]
Our forebears had far greater individual political power than we do today; for example, so long as one resident objected, tribal laws disallowed anyone from moving into their village.[61] Ask a citizen under democracy today about the thousands of laws and regulations he is under, and he can only state a small percentage of them. Under medieval customs, laws were few and lived out. The peasants knew immediately if a lord acted contrary to customs because the issue would not be in practice. It would be “new.” The illiterate peasant knew his entire law more thoroughly than today’s lawyer, who must focus on a specific narrow section of law to master it. Perhaps this explains why democracy constantly creates new and increasingly complex laws—to take away the people’s ability to know if the law has been offended.
Professor Susan Reynolds wrote “Medieval rulers had been supposed to rule all their subjects, and not just their noble subjects, justly and with consent,” but “nothing was so important as consent.”[62] Since the law was personal and consent vital, it was up to each individual to decide if his lord had overstepped his bounds. As the law was made for and by the people not its rulers, every individual in the community had a check or veto on any perceived government intrusion on their rights.[63] Feudal historian Marc Bloch wrote a “universally recognized right of the vassal to abandon the bad Lord”[64] prevailed.Kern wrote, “anyone who felt himself prejudiced in his rights by the king, was authorized to take the law into his own hands, and win back the rights which had been denied him.”[65] He explains fealty:
Fealty, as distinct from obedience, is reciprocal in character, and contains the implicit condition that the one party owes it to the other only so long as the other keeps faith. This relationship, as we have seen, must not be designated simply as a contract. The fundamental idea is rather that ruler and ruled alike are bound to the law; the fealty of both parties is in reality fealty to the law; the law is the point where the duties of both of them intersect. If, therefore, the King breaks the law, he automatically forfeits any claim to the obedience of his subjects…a man must resist his King and his judge, if he does wrong, and must hinder him in every way, even if he be his relative or feudal Lord. And he does not thereby break his fealty.
In 1300 Cynus of Pistoia compared the mutual consent and obligations of a king to his people, to a husband to his wife in marriage. In a letter written in 1020 to William Duke of Aquitaine, Bishop Fulbert of Chartres laid out fealty and feudal obligations. He told the duke besides simply honoring the lord and his possessions, the lord also “ought to act toward his faithful vassal reciprocally in all these things. And if he does not do this, he will be justly considered guilty of bad faith.” If a lord violated his vassal’s rights, the lord’s land he’d delegated to his vassal would transfer to the vassal.[66]
The medieval Church was as obsessed with correct dogma as it was with unity. They believed that the whole system would crumble if theology were allowed to stray in one area.[67] Like the tyrant who oversteps, falsehood must be met head-on, no matter how minor the issue. A ruler was subject to both divine law and those he governed. In the eyes of God, a tyrant is no longer a lord since he has violated his design and is now acting on his own; he has replaced God with himself. Thus the tyrant is no longer to be followed by a Christian people; he no longer has any authority since authority comes from God, who only delegated specific duties to rulers. Catholic author Christopher A. Ferrara wrote, “the worst ‘absolute’ monarchs of Christendom were a model of limited government compared with the presidents and prime ministers of modern secular regimes who owe no allegiance to Rome.” The Church resisted and prevented absolute monarchs from emerging in the Middle Ages.[68] Professor Warren H. Carroll observed “a faithful Christendom can never tolerate an absolute monarchy.”[69] Authoritarianism arose only after secularism began.
The Church hierarchy believed it was their responsibility to protect people from tyrants and also to protect the Church, something they were willing to get involved in “politics” and even wars for. In 1248 Pope Innocent IV declared, “With the help of God I will take my stand for the people, and boldly face the implacable pestilential Prince…to destroy the cause of these evils, the tyranny of that malignant Prince, once emperor [Frederick II] by which the world is falling to ruin, the orthodox faith overthrown, and the glory of ecclesiastical liberty uprooted.”[70]Historian Will Durant wrote, “The power of the Church, said a skeptical Hume, was a rampart of refuge against the tyranny and injustice of kings.”[71]
The great medieval and earlier scholars and Catholic saints like Augustine and Aquinas maintained a higher law existed taking precedence over man-made laws. Any law of man, Aquinas argued, “is beneath the Divine power” and must conform to the higher law. Any law “contrary to the divine law” must not be obeyed because, as stated in Acts 5:29, “we ought to obey God rather than man.”[72] Archbishop Thomas Becket told King Henry II he held God higher than him, “You are indeed my lord, but He is my lord and yours.”[73] Becket informed the king it is best for both of them if he follows God’s rather than the king’s desires. Aquinas wrote when the church excommunicated a lord or he strayed from the faith “the faithful are absolved from his dominion over them and from their oath of allegiance which bound them to him.”[74] He was no longer a legitimate Christian lord but was viewed as a tyrant. The American colonies’ motto of “rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God” fits well here.
A tyrant becomes the enemy of the people, their customs, and God. He is antagonistic to the united whole. In the 12th century, John of Salisbury wrote, “By the authority of the divine book, it is lawful and glorious to kill public tyrants.”[75]He also wrote, “I submit to his power…so long as it is exercised in subjection to God and follows His ordinances. But on the other hand if it resists and opposes the divine commandments, and wishes to make me share in its war against God; then with unrestrained voice I answer back that God must be preferred before any man on earth.”[76] Saint Bonaventure taught that if a lord acts “contrary to God no man may obey him; moreover, since he who abuses the power committed to him has deserved to lose this power, he may be rightfully removed from it.”[77] The Church would dispossess lords of their lands if they did not rule “in accordance with the faith.”[78]The people celebrated their great lords who resisted tyrants, comparing them to Joshua and the Maccabees.[79]
Today, anyone who does not follow a federal declaration is a traitor or rebel. In the Middle Ages, any ruler who went outside of law and tradition was a rebel and traitor and was to be resisted by law. Thus, a medieval peasant would say the greatest outlaws in America were not those of the Old Wild West but are its elected officials and judges of today.
A section of the Declaration of Arbroath reads of tyrants “we should exert ourselves at once to drive him out as our enemy and a subverter of his own rights and ours…for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom—for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.”[80]
Taxation Under Medieval Kingship, any temporary taxes to protect the kingdom required the consent of those vassals paying the tax.[81] Usually, vassals were willing to pay more during times of war so the lord could keep men in the field longer. Certain temporary taxes could be instituted, such as during an invasion as the king raised an emergency tax to fulfill his role as protector of the realm. But as soon as the invasion was over, the tax ended.[82]
However, taxes never reached any levels near modern democracies. For example, the Kingdom of Jerusalem was in a hopeless financial situation. In desperation, the king wanted to impose a “heavy tax”of 2% on high earners and 1% on larger landholdings. This “massive” tax was approved, Archbishop William of Tyre writes, “By the common consent of all the nobles, both secular and ecclesiastical, and by the assent of the people of the kingdom of Jerusalem…for the common good of the realm.”[83] When the Crusader States wanted to raise money to invade Egypt, they taxed only those willing to consent to the tax to fund the invasion. Taxes were perhaps more accurately seen as fundraisers for specific purposes paid by those who backed them.
Taxes were not only temporary but rare; and even here, a modern comparison would be a tax to avoid a military draft.[84]Multiple counts refused to enforceFrance’s first kingdom-wide tax to help fund the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1166.[85] In 1199, Pope Innocent the Third taxed the clergy at 2.5%, which led to open rebellion.[86]When later King Phillip II introduced a tax (which was agreed upon by the nobles and the Church) within a year, it was abolished, and he was forced to apologize for introducing it.[87] In the 1490s Germany first tried a realm-wide tax, and even then, Bavaria refused to ratify it. Most of northern Europe still had no permanent national tax until after 1500.[88]The level of taxation seen under Roman, Arab, and Byzantine systems did not appear in the West until industrialization.[89]
Decentralization“By the end of the tenth century the kingdom of France remained a legal and ideological construct, but it’s kings exerted little genuine power outside their own family lands. The main political foci were the great counties ruled as autonomous principalities by comital families…linguistic contrasts mirrored different histories customs and laws. The far south retained a tradition of written law…. there was no uniformity of rules of landowning, judicial systems, weights, measures or currency. A kingdom often in name alone.“
-Christopher Tyerman, God’s War: A New History of the Crusades
In a centralized system those in power can become as tyrannical as they like. A 6th century historian and bishop, Gregory of Tours, recorded the effects of decentralization in preventing tyranny. Due to the recent heavy taxation by King Chilperic I “many left their cities and their possessions and, seeking other kingdoms, thought it better to live abroad than to submit to such oppression.”[90] When people have choice they will naturally migrate to a less oppressive system and join themselves to the lords and customs with the most liberty.[91] Thus naturally realms protecting their people would increase while tyrant realms would decrease.
Even though someone might be a king of a vast realm, he may not have influenced the entire area he was “king” of. For example, northern Italy consisted of several autonomous cities and duchies; their “king” ruled a minimal area around the Po valley.[92] Likewise, the well-known and mighty Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa controlled only within his family lands in Swabia. The rest of the empire was governed as autonomous realms. Professor Philip Daileader described the Holy Roman Empire in 1273 as a “loose confederation of hundreds of very tiny units, principalities, city-states, and bishoprics.”[93] Historian Will Durant described the same when he wrote, “No German nation existed yet; there were only Saxons, Swabians, Bavarians, Franks…no one system of laws governed the realm….each region kept its own customs and Code.”[94]
Even under Charlemagne, the most prominent early medieval example of a pre-Renaissance monarch, power was limited, and Tierney and Painter wrote, “all the different people of the empire continued to live according to their own native laws. Charlemagne had no intention of abolishing this diversity,” and there was “virtually no public taxation, and Charlemagne depended for revenue on the proceeds of his own land.”[95] A contemporary of Charlemagne was Einhard, who wrote a biography of the emperor. In it, he describes the power of the later Merovingian kings of the Franks;
“The Merovingian family…had long since been devoid of vital strength, and conspicuous only from bearing the empty epithet Royal…There was nothing left the King to do but to be content with his name of King…He had nothing that he could call his own beyond this vain title of King…except a single country seat, that brought him but a very small income. There was a dwelling house upon this, and a small number of servants attached to it, sufficient to perform the necessary offices. When he had to go abroad, he used to ride in a cart, drawn by a yoke of oxen driven, peasant-fashion, by a Ploughman.”[96]
Towns, manors, monasteries, isolated villages, and great dukedoms across feudal Europe were typically autonomous.[97] In 800 A.D., Ireland was made up of perhaps 150 separate kingdoms.[98] At the same date, sparsely-populated Norway was divided into 31 principalities.[99] By 1200 A.D., there were 200 autonomous city-states in Northern Italy.[100] In the 14th century, Germany was made up of 600 autonomous realms.[101] According to Will Durant, Spain was broken down into tiny realms of petty kings, but “even within each little kingdom unity was an interlude; the nobles almost ignored the kings except in war.”[102]
Lords controlled within their own spheres, as did dukes, princes, barons etc, and held autonomy. Each realm had its own laws and courts, and the local village conducted affairs with no control from the King’s capital or a higher lord’s influence. In the thirteenth century, Beaumanoir remarked “each Baron is sovereign in his own Barony.”[103]Historian Régine Pernoud wrote that decentralization provided “variety between one town and another and gave a charming and attractive aspect to the country…each town possessed to a degree which is to-day almost unimaginable, its own personality.”[104] Historian Chris Wickham described the medieval situation as the “radical decentralization of political power in the west.”[105] The people might recognize the king and even honor him, but outside of his family’s inheritance, he could not control anything in those areas. A decentralized kingship should be understood as an aristocracy of sovereign lords rather than a monarchy.

Every dissident seemed to have wildly different hopes and expectations for this election. But now the 2024 election is finished and we know the results. How do those hopes stack up with the new reality?
For me, in a way, I am relieved. If most of us are being honest, I think we would all say that. Some of our Heritage America remains. Kamala was a cackling leftist freak in every conceivable way. Another four years of the Biden protégé would likely destroy most of us (if not financially, then simply in morale).
It is a relief that she is not in. It even feels like a small victory. Maybe Heritage America still does have a chance after all.
But we have to be careful with that outlook. We still don’t know the play at hand.
As I said in The 2024 Election: Final Thoughts And Six Scenarios, a Trump win could led to a worst-case scenario. We just don’t know yet.
The result of this election is a short-term win that could be turned into either a long-term loss or a long-term victory for us.
It all depends on how we respond to it.
If we go into these next four years knowing that Trump is not going to save us, but is going to give us the time to build and potentially slow down the demographic change, then we are going in with a long-term winning mindset.
My biggest fear with this result is that everyone will become complacent once again. I am still jaded from 2016. We cannot allow that to happen.
We all knew that everyone would be activated quickly if Team Blue got in by fraud once again. But that did not happen. So we risk everyone falling asleep like what happened in 2016 once again.
Which is why now, more than ever, we need to be activated.
A Trump win very well could be a gift from God to give us these extra few days during the downfall of the American empire. To give us enough time to get ready. We certainly do not deserve this, but God’s mercy is greater than my understanding. I am staying hopefully optimistic that this is the case.
Granted, I do realize all of this relies on if Cataclysm X does not happen. But hey, if that happens, we won’t have the time anyway no matter who won.
So while I am still worried about the Trump situation, I consider this a minor victory. But that is the case only if our response is to recognize that this puts us in play to get to work. The election of Trump solves nothing by itself.
That is now my hope and desire.
Unrelated, but as an interesting sidenote, this result proves more the massive fraud in the 2020 election.
Just look at this trend. It is impossible in a normal election:
You have to laugh so you don’t throw your phone/computer out the window.Something like the above has never been seen even in a landslide election.
Newsflash: Joe Biden was not a landslide win. No one was this excited about Joe Biden. It was fraud.
The results from 2024 just add more proof that 2020 was a clear fraud.
Which begs the question, why did they want to keep Trump out in 2020, but they were fine with him in 2024?
So very curious.
For whatever reason, the elites are fine with another Trump term now, even though they weren’t in 2020.
So, I openly admit I am dual-minded here. I am happy Kamala lost, but I think we should stay cautious. For whatever reason, the elites are not upset with this result. That should concern us. Or at least, keep us vigilant.

I’m a bit ashamed to admit it, but I sometimes find myself browsing Reddit. It can’t be helped as internet forums have largely shut down. Reddit was designed to kill them and replace them. Reddit isn’t monolithically horrible. Whenever the discussion revolves around something that doesn’t directly or indirectly relate to politics, it can be quite informative. The problem with Reddit is that it’s a hive minded collective of leftists that’s full of astroturf and manipulated people. The Federalist recently discovered proof that the Kamala Harris campaign targeted Reddit to the tune of 2,551 posts. People have long noticed, like Twitter prior to Musk’s purchase, that Reddit is littered with bots. Whether it’s a scripted program or a lobotomized individual who faithfully retransmits received messages, it’s true. Dead Internet Theory wins again.
It should come as no surprise that, following the election, the howls of the unwashed plebbitors reached peak levels. “How could this have happened? Nobody I know in real life could vote for Cheeto Hitler! All of the posting here indicated Trump was doomed!” I have to give them credit for the fact that few of them contest the validity of the election and the sentiment of the populace. They are simply baffled that they have so fundamentally misunderstood the notions of the people they’re surrounded by.
Listen up, lost redditor. It’s because you live in an echo chamber. You have carefully cultivated safe spaces, of which Reddit is one, where you never have to confront an opposing opinion. I can reliably guarantee you that anybody you interact with in your normal life and never mentions politics was sympathetic to the Trump platform. This never would have occurred to you. Silence isn’t violence to you. It’s consent.
It’s common knowledge for normal people that people on the Right not only understand leftist positions, but can argue them more effectively than leftists can. It’s not reciprocal. All leftist constructs of a “conservative” are caricatures. Redditors ask why Hollywood has such a tough time convincingly writing villains nowadays with exceptions like the Riddler from The Batman. Because the villains are conservative and the people writing them simply can’t fathom their point of view.
If you are a redditor and reading this, you need to come to terms with the fact that your view of reality came up short on election night. Yes, a lot of dumb people voted for Trump. But a lot of people smarter than you did as well. You could say that it’s because they’re misinformed or evil, but you were clearly misinformed, and writing them off as evil leads you back to where you started. I do believe there are evil people who believe and do evil things. But you’re in the tenuous position of having to maintain that every single generation of humans who lived before the current year were hopelessly and irredeemably evil. Your grandmother who gave you peppermint candy and had some politically incorrect things to say about gays and minorities? Evil incarnate.
That’s not a great way to live, if just for the reason that this gilded age of iPhones and civil liberties came from a tradition of “evil” people. You could argue that it’s been an endless linear march towards progress, but I don’t think you could shake the fact that life’s gotten measurably more miserable despite the “progress” in the past decades. Women have more rights than they’ve ever had, but now they’re continually “under threat.” They’re also not happier. As of 2011, 1/4 of them were on medication for mental health issues. The problem hasn’t gotten better. If things were continually improving, people wouldn’t be so miserable.
The truth of the matter is that you’ve been lied to. You’re upset right now because reality isn’t shaping up to your expectations. But who shaped those expectations? Who made you a pawn? You don’t have many original thoughts, if you stop to consider it. You’re full of talking points, but who gave those to you? I’ll be frank with you in a manner they won’t: a lot of them know the truth. They know the statistics on crime, the dire implications of the destruction of the family, and about the corruption in our political and bureaucratic system. You probably know about the corruption and are fine with it so long as it achieves the desired results.
But the results, so far, have not been beneficial. I could say what everybody says to a redditor. “Go touch grass.” But I don’t think you’ve had a genuinely sympathetic voice in your life for a while. I’m not here to hand you a script to regurgitate to other people. I’m not here to listen to you regurgitate a script you got from other people. I’m here to point out that somewhere on the road of your life, you decided to start doing things other people wanted you to do without considering the consequences it would have for you or others, or if you even wanted to do them in the first place. Maybe you wanted to be liked. Maybe you lacked purpose. Maybe you were bored.
Take an inventory of all of the things you believe most firmly. We already started with the first one: “Trump cannot and will not win the 2024 election.” That turned out to be false, and the people who were hyping you up were wrong and many of them had bad intentions. Go down the list. Think critically about all of the items. Some will be true. You probably care about the environment. Me too. Nobody on the Right actually wants to pave over the national forests and turn them into Walmarts. That’s just another one of the caricatures they made up. I’m not giving you talking points. I’m giving you an invitation to think and take a personal inventory of all of the things you unquestionably accept. I hope it helps.

“Fundamentally, the western Christian church lost its attempt to control civil society. In justice as well as government, secular authority emerged as the arbiter, guardian and enforcer of law… Christendom was dead… political and civil action now rested with secular states.”
Christopher Tyerman, God’s War: A New History of the Crusades
When the federal government is the ultimate authority, its citizens begin to look to it as a higher power.[1] They look to the government to provide morality, welfare, health, education, financial security, rules, morality, a sense of belonging, and purpose. This mentality has led to what professor Thomas DiLorenzo calls the “deification of the state.”[2]
Since there is now no higher authority, the government also begins to think of itself as a god or, at the very least, they play God. There is nothing outside its jurisdiction. It begins to think it has the answer to every problem and can provide salvation to its people; it begins to think it knows better than its peasant followers and can create its own morality, laws, punishments, and so on. It creates its own thou shalt nots. The state also begins to take what is rightly God’s. Proverbs 3:9 tells us the first fruits of our earnings are to go to God, whereas income tax ensures it goes to our rulers, who demand far more than God ever did.[3] But worse, it will regulate our lives to conform to its beneficent image resulting in more power for itself. Thus, the citizenry becomes docile servants of the state rather than the government being the servant of its citizens. It becomes “patriotic” to be hardworking, taxpaying, obedient tools, to be used for the government’s benefit and thus derive its grace and blessings.
Political participation turns us into little comrades. Followers of Lenin’s ideal “Devotion to the revolutionary cause permeates his entire being.”[4] Politics becomes our most crucial identifier; what we are most willing to go to war for, die for, and dispose of heretics for. For gain, our leaders desire to make politics our most important identifier. We become political beings.[5]
Ask Americans where they get their “rights,” and they will tell you they are from our government. Our kind masters allow us more “rights” than in other areas of the world; therefore, we are “free.” It is a theocracy of statism; every good gift comes from above, and the giver is the government. This is vital to understand, and it is essential you realize your rights come from the government and not from God. The government is your authority; they declare your rights, your values, and your worth.
Secularized citizens believe the collective can do all things through the “government that strengthens them.” Historian Thomas Woods wrote, “The vast bulk of Americans proceed through twelve years of government funded education that (by an interesting coincidence) teaches them all about the wonders of federal government, how lost they’d be without it, and how foolish it would be to worry that the constitution might not authorize most of what it does.”[6] The government becomes the miracle worker; it can turn drought and devastation into abundance and heal disease, starvation, crime, discrimination, and any other ill, real or manufactured.
However, a contradiction arises for the secular state when it teaches relativism and atheism while at the same time trying to teach morals. They first convince the voters they are nothing but random evolved matter living in a purposeless and relativistic world. Therefore, they tell them they must not discriminate against sexual or gender preferences because there is no right or wrong; one way is not better. Yet in the next class they are trained to vilify the Crusaders and the Inquisition and taught a patriarchal system is evil. It seems the only time we are allowed to claim absolute moral right is when something goes against collectivist “democratic, equality values” we are told we can all agree with. However, there can be no moral right or wrong in a secular world.[7] And yet, contradictory to relativism, voting assumes you find something undesirable about the world. You vote to improve your life, or prevent someone from doing something destructive to society. In other words, you’re making a judgment call discerning, one might say discriminating against, one party or person from another. You attempt to segregate them from political participation and representation.
However, knowing people are moral and spiritual beings with an innate perception of right and wrong, secularists must fulfill the need. They will replace God’s law with various secular and political “issues” people are to pretend matter in an otherwise meaningless world. Theologian William Lane Craig explained:
Without God, there is no objective right and wrong… if naturalism is true, it becomes impossible to condemn war, oppression, or crime as morally wrong. Some action, say, incest, may not be biologically or socially advantageous, and so in the course of human evolution it has become taboo. But there is nothing really wrong about raping someone. If… moral rules are, “nothing but the customs… that this or that culture adopts over the course of time,” then the nonconformist who chooses to flout the herd morality is doing nothing more morally wrong than being uncultured. Nor, by the same token, can one praise brotherhood, equality, or love as good. It really doesn’t matter what values you choose, for there is no right and wrong. Moral good and evil do not exist.[8]**
Racism, environmentalism, women’s rights, and so on provide secularists with meaning and purpose. They distract them from searching for the true purpose of life and prevent them from lapsing into traditional beliefs. Democratic societies desire to raise politically active citizens who expect the government to solve their issues. They will then naturally view the government as a kind of savior, a higher power. Over time people will begin to view the government not as a coercive power but as a director, a leader, and a loving mother, a kindly touch. They begin to see anything pulling allegiance away from the government, such as the Church, traditions, monarchy, or family, as sinister. They condemn their followers for praising and adoring these instead of giving what is rightly due to the state.
The environmental religion provides self-sacrificial good works in the way of lower carbon emissions, or riding a bike instead of driving a car. They define sin as eating red meat and driving gas-guzzling cars. Vermont children are more concerned with committing environmental sins than biblical sins, which they have no idea about. The “green” religion provides fear and punishment for non-compliance, such as environmental disasters. Every secular ideology will echo the basic foundations of the religion it has replaced.
Politics often becomes the religion of the secularist. Professor Caplan referred to it as “Democratic fundamentalism”[9] where believers have blind faith in their leaders and overlook and dismiss any criticism leveled against the faith, i.e. democracy. He stated plainly, “political/economic ideology is the religion of modernity. Like the adherents of traditional religion, many people find comfort in their political worldview and greet critical questions with pious hostility.”[10] Voting takes on a religious nature.[11]
Politics and political parties are where the secularist finds his identity, meaning, and purpose; his party becomes his family, his community. From his family, he learns good and evil; to be fully equipped for every good work and maintain orthodox thinking, he gets his daily devotion and sermons from his favorite podcasts and news anchors. Come election time, this secular religionist will be found out in pairs, knocking on doors seeking converts, in addition to tithing to the party of choice. This giving to the “good cause” might not be collected in a basket on Sundays but nonetheless raises millions each election cycle. Values, morality, guidelines, and marching orders are written down as party platforms and talking points to be adhered to by all the faithful. Famous prophets or news anchors receive the admiration formerly due to medieval saints and clergy.
What used to be the most important thing to know about someone—what religion or church they were joined with – is now what their political party is. Politics is the preferred religion of white western atheists. It fills the void Christianity left. In a 50/50 society of Christians and secularists, the latter will outvote the Christians because they will be more politically active; elections are the holy days of their church. To motivate most Christians, you must teach their kids critical race theory or convince them to change their gender behind the parents’ backs.
Janowski identifies more hints of secular religion in what he called “democratic confessions.”[12] He described these acts as a “religious ritual” where the guilty party admits their sin against collectivism. For example, we often see famous movie and sports stars, political pundits, and politicians publicly apologize for saying something potentially disrupting the group. They must feel or express guilt and repentance for their sin in front of the community, and only by performing this ritual to “distance yourself from your former views” can you acceptably repent. Janowski further notes these public displays are only popular in former Protestant nations such as America. They are almost non-existent in the former Catholic nations where confession is done in private.
Democracy itself has religious aspects to it. Citizens are told about its inherent goodness and the evil nature of any heretic who opposes “democratic values.” Opposing those who oppose democracy is not just a form of secular puritanism; in their mind, it is a crusade against evil. They are the inquisitors protecting us from demonic forces. It might not be a witch, but it could be a “climate change” denier, the unvaccinated, aristocrats, monarchists, traditionalists, anarchists, libertarians, creationists or any number of heretical groups. De Chosal wrote, “Democracy is not just a political system. It is much more, and its nature approaches that of the gods if we consider with how much respect it is treated and with what devotion it is honored. The idolatrous character of democracy is clearly seen in the absolute refusal to question it in any way.”[13]
James Stimson wrote, “Democracy is bound up with symbolism, belief, patriotism, and a quasi-religious commitment. It is imbued with our self-identity as Americans. Democracy is the civil religion of America.”[14] Whenever our sacred American idol of “democracy” is under attack, true believers from both the Right and Left come to its defense through military volunteering, donations, the sacrifice of liberty, etc. Interestingly, the Left will say the Right is threatening democracy and the followers aid its defense; meanwhile, the Right will claim the Left is attacking democracy and initiate the same response. Democracy can mean many things. It can be two contrary deities, but it must always be a deity above the Left or Right, domestic or foreign.
We will engage in ideological wars for our god, utilizing our military for evangelistic efforts across the globe to “spread democracy.” Our government spent $787 million on gender equality programs in an occupied Afghanistan not desiring, accepting, or asking for them.[15] This militaristic and evangelistic cause produces large numbers of martyrs. It needs large-scale tithing to maintain, often done willingly because we are spreading (or defending) the societal saving message of “democracy” worldwide. We declare its blessing to the infidel Muslims who, for some incomprehensible reason, won’t accept our enlightenment. In our puritanical minds, we are showing them a better way so they can “progress” (that is, become like us) and receive all the divine blessings democracy so self-evidently produces.
A neighbor of mine viewed the “attacks” on the Capitol by Trump supporters as an attack on democracy itself. At least she realized the elite national party members represent democracy, not the claimed ability to attain self-governance for the voters. She further stated, “democracy is the heart of everything.”[16] We have replaced the savior from Nazareth with the politician from D.C.
In a song by Leonard Cohen titled “Democracy,” he refers to it as the “mechanism of change.” Not just political change but spiritual change of the “heart.” Showing signs of the inherit worship of the state ingrained in democracy, the lyrics read:
sail on, sail on, O mighty ship of state
to the shores of need, past the reves of greed, through the shalls of hate
In other words, democracy can change society and transform the heart past greed and hate; it is a political salvation message.
The old New England puritans were limited to biblical sins (or at least perceived biblical sins such as consuming alcohol) in their pursuit to control others. To the New England puritan (and the hordes of their descendants spread out across the nation), sin comes from the exterior, so, for example, alcohol causes drunkenness. To prevent something you find undesirable in others, you create laws to prevent the outward substance by outlawing it. Puritans’ modern counterparts wage war on drugs or guns, believing their removal would rid the world of “gun violence” and drug abuse.[17]
This is all bad enough, but the problem today is our puritans are no longer Christians. They are secularists. There is no limit to what they will seek to control. They can be poked and prodded into believing in all kinds of secular sins and will then seek to regulate all the exteriors coming with it. Thus, in a democracy, a country of secular puritan majorities will bring nothing but endless legislation, tyrannically invading private property and using force to ease their largely imaginary fears. There’s no limit to the amount of suffering they are willing to force you to endure in order to “help you.”
We can see why governments train up secular puritans and impose on them endless “issues” justifying further control of others. The modern social justice warriors and cancel culture activists are contemporary puritans utilizing the state to enforce their will on dissidents whose secular sins cannot be tolerated. You won’t find forgiveness in a secular religion; they can cancel you for something you apologized for twenty years ago; it is a ruthless religion because secularism does not know the transformation of the heart.[18]
Christianity itself can become not just spineless but a promoter of the state as well. Perhaps the closest thing we have today to an established church is between evangelical Christianity and the Republican Party. Seminaries, megachurches, and so on align with the party, and the churches seek converts (more seats filled, more money, and more voters) rather than disciples. They will preach on the evils of abortion to funnel Republican voters both to their pews, and to the booths. The political party issues become the churches’ issues rather than, as they should be, the other way around. Churches have become just another secular avenue for influencing the population. Very few churches remain unadulterated.
I used to attend a conservative Republican church promoting blind obedience to the state. We recited the pledge of allegiance, sang the “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and proudly displayed the American flag in the church. There was no shortage of patriotic recruits among the congregation who were, or are, in the military, and they were honored for it, especially on secular Holy Days like Veterans Day. The typical Republican dogma came from the pastor: abortion is murder, military good; therefore, vote Republican, God bless America.
Millions of Christians living in democracies are Christians of the heart, not the mind. They might one day be in heaven, but, knowingly or not, they think like secularists. They are “religious” Christians; they play religion on Sunday but keep it within the church, never bringing it into public view. They are ‘heaven Christians;’ they may end up in heaven, but will never bring heaven down to earth.[19]
Political participation promotes the belief the average citizen’s mission is to save the world through political activism. We are on the mission field to receive the gospel of whatever the current political fad of the day is. Whenever an “issue” and perceived imperfection arises, “we must do something,” and “something” must be government action. We can feel like we are doing something to improve the world only by “taking action.” The Covid pandemic is a classic case; the fear of Covid led to the mentality we must do something; we falsely believe we can control a virus via politics.[20]
In a debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, both candidates claimed they would prevent Covid from spreading. Biden attacked Trump for allowing so many American deaths; voters should not re-elect Trump, said Biden, because too many Americans died under his administration. Biden spoke as a typical citizen in a democracy would, as if it was up to a president to stop invading viruses. And as many Biden critics pointed out, the deaths increased under the Biden administration. Yet I do not blame “creepy Joe” because the state is not my savior, nor am I a totalitarian thinking a president can control a virus. But to be elected to the highest office, you must have that mentality or promise the people you are the savior who can gather the fearful voters as a mother does her chicks and protect them from the fox. Whatever that fox might be.
The lockdowns imposed on citizens by Republicans and Democrats were a severe response to the fear in the population. Governmental action became necessary as the people then pleaded for protection. It doesn’t matter so much the methods are effective, but politicians must do something when the herd is afraid, and they look to you as both your shepherd, and your savior. Neither does it matter if those actions caused numerous detrimental side effects including financial ruin for many and dramatically elevated deaths. Or that more died due to Covid policies than were saved, including millions in the poorest countries.[21] Run it back, and we would do it again, but differently this time.
It seems our solution to Covid did nearly everything possible to ensure a high death rate. We imposed economic suffering; we muted people’s immune systems and their ability to fight it off by removing citizens from fresh air and exercise. We locked them in their houses, reducing levels of vitamin D, a vitamin known to be helpful to the immune system. In Rutland, Vermont, we removed basketball rims because dissidents were getting exercise, and we shut down gyms to prevent the same. Lack of fresh air and exercise lead to diabetes and weight gain. My age group gained an average of around 20 pounds during the shutdowns. Weight is a significant factor in severe symptoms and death related to Covid. Finally, we became dependent on vaccinations and pharmaceutical companies.
Each winter in Vermont, like cozy hobbits, we retreat from the snow and cold into our warm homes. During our withdrawal, we have what is declared a “flu” season and everyone rushes to get a vaccination. People get it and die from the sickness all year; however, the winter’s symptoms are much more severe because our immune systems are down. We are not getting fresh air, exercise, vitamin D from the sun, fresh local food, etc. Our immune systems generally fight off the flu in the summer, but it is far more hazardous in the winter. In other words, we don’t have a “flu season” but a lack of fresh air, vitamin D, fresh foods, and exercise season. We ensured these same conditions during Covid.

One summer, when I was about eighteen, I had the privilege of going on the road with a traveling evangelist, who is still a great friend to this day. In his prime, he was the real deal – an old timey, tent meeting, jump on the piano, and spit into the third-row screamer. The meetings were the kind where the evening offering was taken up by passing a KFC bucket up and down the aisles. It was a fire and brimstone circus, and it was fantastic!
One stop on our summer tour was Madison, Florida. The locals had erected a huge tent, preventing any thunderstorm from dampening the spirit of our traveling carnival of exuberant enthusiastic revivalism. Although, through all the theatrics of the week, which would now make the Presbyterian in me blush, the Holy Ghost did His good work. Many penitent sinners were transformed by the zealous oratory of our evangelist, electrifying that beautiful little community.
In today’s political environment, those memories remind me of the enthusiasm of Trump rallies. There is a certain fervor and dynamism that attracts the masses. The wicked are castigated, and there is hope for a better tomorrow, not just for themselves, but for the Empire as a whole. “Those ole Demon-crats have to be vanquished,” yells the congregants. And Donald J. Trump, the survivor of many fiery darts from those devils, captivates the faithful for hours. There is not a black minister alive that is not taking notes in amazement, and wondering how The Donald gets these White folks to stand up for that long of a sermon.
The final hours of the election remind me of another story from that summer – plunging into the danger of the unknown.
During those hot summer days, before the festivities of the evening services, our team went for a refreshing swim at a local spring. The water was clear and cold, the bottom white and sandy. A rather tall pine towered over the waters, and a ladder of wooden slats ascended up towards a small platform high above the spring. I was all in, and quickly vaulted up to the tiny plank. My heart began to race, realizing my next step would be a testament to the faith of an ambitious and peacock-y, aspiring preacher boy.
The height was greater than I guessed and the water much clearer than I expected. The combination of the two made the spring look empty with only hot white sand at the bottom. But, there I was. There was no going back. It was decision time. I took a big breath, gasped, and jumped, not knowing if it was to my doom or euphoria.
Today, as the polls close, the entire Empire will take a breath, gasp, and plunge into the unknown, if only just for a speck in historical time.
We’ve been here many times, brothers and sisters, and whatever the result, we will endure. For we hope for a home not granted to us by the whims of the changing political tide, but one established for us by our ancestors and Our Lord. Never forget, our goal is a free and independent Dixie. Establish your hearts and minds to that end.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

I am a Southern Nationalist. It is my belief that the South is a region comprised of a unique people (an ethnic nation) who deserve their independence from an exploitative and demonstrably Satanic United States. We have no reason to remain in a union dominated by godless states like New York and California. A free and independent South is the goal of every Southern Nationalist. Consequently, when I said that I will not vote for Trump, it was not an endorsement of Harris. It was an endorsement of a belief that the federal government must end as we know it. Florida is my country; Tallahassee is my capital.
That stated, is Tuesday important to me and other Southern Nationalists? The answer is “Yes,” but not for the reasons one might think. Either candidate offers advantages to those of us seeking the end of the United States of America.
If Trump wins – which is highly likely in a fair election – he offers four years of preparatory time for a post-Trump era. His hatred of White Nationalists, especially Southern Nationalists (kin to WNs) is a concern. After all, his DOJ was the most aggressively anti-White DOJ in the history of that agency. But if he really has learned his lesson and will deploy a DOJ that at least stays off our backs, we can prepare for 2029 and beyond. That is a big “if.”
The problem with a Trump victory is complacency. Southerners who advocate for a free South are prone to take an easy way out. They are too quick to believe Trump is a “good guy” who will serve their needs for a more Godly Union. Southern Nationalists have genuine conservative values that they believe Trump shares.
Although I think they are wrong, my sentiment is an entirely different matter. The fact is, SoNats are far too quick to get wrapped up in a false confidence when it relates to Trump. That leads them to take their eyes off the prize: Balkanization and Southern independence.
Of course, Harris disgusts me. She is a sub-80 IQ, indecisive clown who is handcuffed by the genetic limitations of her race. She is not fit to be the assistant manager of a Waffle House, let alone the presidency. Yet, in GloboHomo 2024, she is inches away from the most powerful position in the world. The prospects of her victory should terrify every White person. Her handlers will attempt to complete the end of Western [read “White”] Civilization. That is a benefit to Southern Nationalism.
The gift of a Harris presidency is simple: the gloves come off. Our people will not be complacent. They will not be afforded the opportunity to be complacent. We will be forced to fight back in ways we may not have imagined in 2014, 2017, or even 1861. It may or may not result in violence, but it will finally nail home the need for secession.
All of this leads back to my personal belief that they – call it the “deep state” for lack of a better term – will steal the election again. One can say “Jews,” but that is overly simplistic. The White Race has non-Jewish adversaries, too. Plus, let us be real – no president has been more pro-Jewish than Donald J. Trump.
If I am wrong, so be it. I doubt I am wrong about the attempt to steal the election, if not the result. If Trump wins, we need to be better prepared and positioned to withstand the inevitable onslaught of anti-White and especially anti-Southern government attacks. That is what happened from 2017-2021. Southern Nationalist leaders need to keep their people engaged and alert as to that which is happening around and toward them.
If Harris wins, we need to be ready to pounce on the opportunity it provides to hammer home secession. We need to amp up our rhetorical game. We need to organize and prepare for an American Holodomor, balkanization, and Southern independence.
Either way, the election matters. It just does not matter in the same way other Americans think. For Southern Nationalists, it should be a signal to prepare. Prepare for “what” is the only difference that will be determined this election.
Deo Vindice!
The post Should Southern Nationalists Care About the Election? appeared first on Identity Dixie.
In 1946 Texarkana, two Deep South towns situated on the Texas/Arkansas border was basking in the glory of victory (there is both a Texarkana, Texas, as well as a Texarkana, Arkansas, though they will be treated as one city in this article for the sake of convenience). World War II was finally over, and after almost 20 years of depression and war, the city looked forward to a new era of normalcy. The Depression had hit the cotton states very hard, but now things were looking up. They may had lost many of their sons in Europe and the Pacific, but now they were coming home. The future looked bright, and we should all remember that we cannot fault the good people of Texarkana for not owning a crystal ball.
It was in that warm glow of victory when terror struck – on February 22nd of that year, a young couple parked on lover’s lane were attacked, although not killed, by an unidentified assailant wearing a bag over his face. Sadly, it would not end there. As on March 24th, another young couple was attacked, again on lover’s lane. This time, they were killed, sending the city into a full-blown panic. Eventually, five people would die in a series of similar attacks that abruptly ended on May 3, 1946. The fate of the killer, or even his identity, was never uncovered, and although several suspects were named, even historians today have never come close to a consensus on who the killer was, what happened to him, or what his motivations were.
In 1976, thirty years after the Texarkana Moonlight Murders came to an end and the still unknown “Phantom Killer” disappeared as quicky as he appeared, Charles B. Pierce, that teller of Arkansas folklore, made a film adaptation of the murders. The resulting film, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, plays very lose with the facts of the case, but it also stands as his greatest film. The Town That Dreaded Sundown is a lean film that continues the docudrama style Pierce pioneered in The Legend of Boggy Creek. It also includes the best cast Pierce ever worked with, and lovingly designed sets. Pierce is even able to sprinkle in some moments of comic relief that work surprisingly well. We will examine what makes this all so wonderful now. But first and as a point of trivia – as iconic as Jason Voorhees’s hockey mask is, it’s remarkable to reflect on how he didn’t even get it until the third Friday the 13th film. His mother was the killer in the first film (spoiler alert, even though it came out in 1980); however, in the second film, the first with Jason as the killer, he wore a burlap sack on his head, a look taken from Pierce’s film.
As I mentioned in my previous article in this series, when all is said and done, Pierce’s greatest contribution to the art of filmmaking are his contributions to docudrama narration. We’ve become so used to this in the years since, it is hard to understand just how innovative Pierce was in this regard, but audiences of the 1970s during his heyday really had never seen anything like this. And while The Town That Dreaded Sundown employs a more traditional narration than The Legend of Boggy Creek, those docudrama elements are still present, and they help create the matter-of-fact tone that propels the film to great cinematic heights. Vern Stierman provides the narration here, his voice is highly reminiscent of the old newsmen of the 1940s and 1950s, giving the film a somber sense of realism.
Also, of note, is the cast Pierce is working with now. As a regional filmmaker, Pierce was often very limited in the actors he could use. He normally had to use unknown actors, and even sometimes, as in the case of The Legend of Boggy Creek, he had to use non-professional locals as actors. Now, Pierce is able to make this work most of the time, even using it to his advantage, as in the case of The Legend of Boggy Creek, as it further enhanced the documentary aspects of the film. But in The Town That Dreaded Sundown, Pierce is able to utilize a surprisingly well-known cast. Ben Johnson (The Wild Bunch, Major Dundee, Dillinger, Junior Bonner and tons of other great movies) headlines with his stunning portrayal of Texas Ranger Captain J.D. Morales, based on the legendary Texas Ranger M. T. “Lone Wolf” Gonzaullas. Ben Johnson gives the film a sense of gravitas that greatly helps it along and further enhances the sober tone Pierce is seeking to convey. Andrew Prine (Grizzly, Chisum, The Devil’s Brigade) is also on hand as a deputy sheriff and does a highly commendable job. Perhaps, the most surprising performance belongs to Dawn Wells. She was far more prolific than she’s remembered as being, but as most people, I am primarily familiar with her thanks to Gilligan’s Island. So, to see her in this, let alone playing a victim, is a bit jarring, but it does demonstrate that she is a far better actress than she’s commonly given credit for.
Despite pioneering the docudrama style of filmmaking, Pierce is well-known for sprinkling his films with humor, the results of which would become decidedly mixed as his career declined in the 1980s. The Town That Dreaded Sundown is the film in which Pierce’s humor works best, with several legitimately funny moments. These moments help lighten the mood in what is otherwise a very serious and dreary picture. Pierce even shows an ability to make himself a fool as he casts himself as the major comic relief character – the bumbling deputy, A.C. “Sparkplug” Benson. His character feels like a less entitled, though no more intelligent, predecessor to Junior Justice (Mike Henry) from Smokey and the Bandit.
As with The Legend of Boggy Creek, The Town That Dreaded Sundown suffered during the home video era. While it was widely assumed, until recently, that The Legend of Boggy Creek has fallen into public domain, allowing the market to be flooded with cheap copies sourced from a VHS, The Town That Dreaded Sundown had the opposite problem, it just wasn’t released for years, only receiving sporadic VHS releases and not receiving a DVD or Blu-Ray until 2013. Thankfully, it was eventually released, and the film now looks amazing, allowing Pierce’s technical skills as a filmmaker to shine. As a result, the stock of this film has been steadily rising over the past several years. Texarkana has taken to embracing the film as well, with public showings of it every October, an event which I sadly have yet to attend.

I recently came across a story about a woman named Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck. Mrs. Vandyck indicated in the story she did not want to change her name despite its patent ridiculousness. The article notes that she has a PhD in Higher Educational Leadership and works at the Community College of Baltimore County while also running “Action as Empowerment Center for Change.” She’s since moved on to work at Beloit College, where she directs a program for “first-generation, disabled and low-income students” and owns a “Performance Coaching Agency” as well. I’m unsure why she felt the need to render the type of agency as a proper noun.
Mrs. Vandyck wrote her doctoral dissertation on the discrimination that blacks face in education due to their unconventional names. This should strike anybody as obvious to the point it requires no explanation, let alone doctoral probing. While racial blank-slate-ism is the uncontested truth of the age, we still tend to accept that intelligence is up to 80% heritable from parents to offspring. The apple that fell off the illiterate tree is probably illiterate itself. This woman of questionable literacy is apparently famous enough, due to her highly unorthodox name, to warrant her own wikipedia article. I suppose her mother was correct when she told her that her, “name will take [her] around the world.”
How this woman’s doctoral inquiry relates to “leadership” is anyone’s guess. She’d have been better off peddling it in the sociology department, although I suppose one must still maintain a rudimentary understanding of statistics to practice sociology. Regardless, her adviser greenlit her research and Cardinal Stritch University approved it and gave her the coveted final sheepskin, presumably after she defended her thesis.
If the background of Mrs. Vandyck’s PhD strikes you as strange, join the club. It almost makes one yearn for the times when a PhD in “Education” was the laughingstock of the other non-medical doctors of academia. Yet, these odd fields have ballooned in quantity due to the lack of rigor in the programs and the dearth of intellectual capacity in the students.
Modern higher education is a complex game of “Monkey-See-Monkey-Do,” operating in parallel with the full Oscar Wilde quote that, “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” It’s beyond question that the current crop of PhDs in the humanities are woefully mediocre intellects. A lot of them have even snuck into the sciences by getting stealth-humanities degrees in scientific fields such as “Computer Programming Management.”
These midwits would be bad enough if they were allowed to spout their half-baked ideas while waving their sheepskins around. But, if they had to explain their pedestrian views on the world in plain English, they’d find that most people not only easily understand the “insights” they painstakingly came to over the course of a masters and perhaps PhD program, but they can handily disprove them.
Academics in prior ages, or in rigorous “right answer/wrong answer” fields in modern times, don’t suffer from this constant humiliation. The midwit is forced to ponder why. The midwit finds Hegel and Heisenberg equally incomprehensible, yet lauded by academics and respected by the public (once their achievements have been explained to the average person). In fact, all of the bona fide intellectuals and their work are baffling to midwits and to the majority of the public. This stems from the complexity of their work. Complex ideas have complex explanations. The layman isn’t equipped to debate particle physics. Particle physicists find themselves generally unopposed (except by other particle physicists) when they present their findings about the world. Nobody contests their intellect.
And so, the midwit decides to make her work as incomprehensible and convoluted as possible. The problem is that none of her ideas are complex. In fact, the ideas are so ubiquitous and so transparently “obvious” that they’re the basis for all modern entertainment. One can understand Whig history in five minutes. The midwit has to find a way to dress up the Rousseauian [1] view of nature (don’t credit her with having read and understood Rousseau… she didn’t. She just copped the general idea from Eat, Pray, Love) in a way that makes peoples’ eyes glaze over and leads them to scratch their heads in confusion. After all, that’s the way she felt when she attempted to wrestle with actual intellectuals.
She starts making up or misusing words and using punctuation in ways that make sentences look like abstract algebraic equations. This is how you get papers like “Frag(men)tation: a Sym*bolic Dialectic Dis-cursive Analytica of Patriarchy’s Problemizing Role in Plate Tectonics.” If you manage to get a few paragraphs into what the Z Man refers to as “Xirl Science,” you’ll walk away with the notion that not only do you have no idea what the xirl is communicating in her work — but she doesn’t either.
I haven’t read Mrs. Vandyck’s dissertation. For all I know, it’s written in the classical style and comprehensible with a single and moderately brief reading by intelligent people. She is, however, part of the crop of pseudo-intellectuals who have relied on credentialism in lieu of intelligence and achievement. Her day job consists of elevating other non-aptitudinal students up the great pyramid scheme of higher education. Even if she doesn’t write like an ADHD-addled simpleton with a stuck hyphen key, the dullards she’s aiding in their educational journeys certainly will, at least if they want their musings published in contemporary publications.
As our university system continues to bleed credibility, I suppose one can take solace in the fact that the public is as unimpressed as the rest of us and that the only people who find the psychobabble permeating the humanities compelling are people who generate the psychobabble itself.
[1] Squaring the Whiggish march of progress with Rousseau’s contention that natural man has been degrading since he abandoned savagery sounds like a very difficult endeavor, but we tend to underestimate the capacity for cognitive dissonance in the thoroughly propagandized masses. Leftists all believe the savages of the Earth are more moral people than we are due to their closeness to nature while simultaneously believing that we are morally superior to the people of the 1950s (and the 1850s, and the 1050s) due to our perfection of liberal democracy and technological wonders.
The post De-Mystifying Modern Aca(DEM)ia: A Case Study in Chronic Soft Drinks appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Kaiser’s recent article, “The Difficulty in Keeping Dissidents Engaged” and the others he links to are important reads and especially for how to understand friends and family who may be maturing past the normie stage of accepting the civic myths and origin stories that are created and strenuously reinforced to maintain social cohesion.
There are two profiles that I think are worth addressing as to why the lifespan of a dissident is so short for most and why a minority who remain outside the mainstream become useless. Those that do keep their wits and remain effective are also a minority and Kaiser explains well the profile necessary to be in this third smaller group.
Normie Dissident
When normal people (people who behave, vote, work, have families, go to church, consume non toxic levels of mainstream pop culture), begin questioning the status quo and then entertain rejecting the establishment, the motivation is not to tear down and revolt. It is a reaction born out of a sense of betrayal and injustice by an authority they want to believe in and with an urgency to “do something” to quickly restore order and normalcy. This is entirely different from what drives leftists with true revolutionary mindsets and a true dissident.
These are people who fundamentally believe that restoring the system is possible and desirable. Accepting the total depravity of the State and its fraudulent history is not possible because their identity is too intertwined with being a loyal citizen. Like teens who try on different attitudes and looks, the normie dissident may sample and larp in edgy ways for a while, but truly abandoning the powerful lure of security they believed they enjoyed when “things were right” in exchange for the vilified and uncertain future of the dissident is not a commitment they can make. The idea is terrifying for them.
This is where the clever grifters find their audience. They repeat the colorful and sensational from true dissident voices but never advocate their solutions or support the obvious conclusions. Some are clearly and intentionally placed to steer people back to the middle. Others are sincere in believing that a middle and compromised solution actually exists. Either way, these become outlets and relieve the pressure and anger they are feeling. The normie dissident will mobilize under the just flexing enough safety of a Come and Take ‘Em banner but will never finish reading the Evola, Spengler or Ernst Jünger books he bought during his initial rejection stage.
The strategic solution to capture the Normie Dissident, and one that Kaiser mentions, is that an attractive and compelling alternative needs to exist. It needs to be a movement that is welcoming and not bizarre. It needs to offer a path that seems plausible and achievable. It needs to offer a new identity that is not embarrassing to adopt and advocate for. As mentioned in many articles here on Identity Dixie, the South, and to lesser degrees, other regions of the United States, have the fundamentals to make the case.
The Useless Dissident
The motivations for the person who shape-shifts and spirals downward after leaving the mainstream I believe shares important similarities to the leftist who embraces the idea of permanent revolution. At their core, these people are deeply insecure and don’t believe they are capable of competing and achieving in normie society, either economically or socially.
Like the leftist, they find their identity in being on the fringe with little to lose and with the ability to point their finger at The Establishment as the reason for their failure. The irony of this type of person is that if the position they advocate for becomes popular, they will reject it and move to the safety of a newly created fringe to avoid having to do the hard work of building the new order they once supported.
It’s a weak analogy, but it reminds me of the type of kids I remember in high school who, in order to be as different as possible because they were intimidated about fitting into an accepted social niche, moved from Top 40, to metal, to industrial punk, to Goth and Emo, to finally discovering their parent’s Bob Dylan and Joan Baez records.
These people are not to be trusted and should be ignored. They have no serious plans beyond burning it down and fantasizing about being a warlord with a harem.
The Dissident Core
It’s not an accident that the true dissidents are surprisingly normal and stable people. They can (and should) identify with the Normie Dissident because we too simply want stability and normalcy for our families.
The secret I believe to understanding what it takes to be a dissident is in the word used many times here and that is, Identity. A true Identity is not political or ideological. It is rooted in the permanent things like family, faith, cherished customs, and place. The most articulate, effective, and committed among us can check all these boxes. It is why Southern identity is so integral to a movement that has the chance of picking up the pieces when the oppressive and injustice system inevitably collapses. The truth is, being a dissident is the easiest and most natural state for someone who loves and understands who they are.

We dissidents have a rough time, sometimes.
Not only do we risk public vilification, losing our jobs, and losing our entire social network, but we also have to deal with the fact that a lot of other dissidents hop in and hop out of this line of work without what even seems like a second thought.
The sad reality is that it is difficult to keep dissidents engaged.
Why? Well, there are numerous reasons for this.
We walk along a tight path filled with many sharp vines waiting to catch a person who veers off even a little.
Here are just a few (four) of the main reasons that come to mind:
1) I think the first and the most obvious is risk. A lot of young guys get into this and don’t mind the risk. But as they get older, or get families, that risk glooms ever more menacingly.
This is why you see so many dissidents as “leaders” who are not married. [Which is hilarious, because these are the last people that should be leaders. The Bible says one of the first things a leader should have is their own house in order. If you can’t even build that house, you probably shouldn’t be a leader. But that is a side tangent.] It is easier for the non-married to stick with it, given they have no real responsibilities or progeny to account for.
But, it is what it is. Let’s take who we can. We don’t have a lot of married guys as leaders because a lot of them leave when the risk becomes too much. What is that old saying about the kitchen getting too hot? It applies here.
2) Then there’s the “general life” reason. Sometimes, life just gets in the way. Economic hardship comes, and you have to make a living. No time for this. I get it. There’s been times where I’ve ducked out of this, too. But I must be an addict, because I keep coming back.
3) Another less discussed reason is a lack of a dissident support network. Which is also a huge one. Various groups have recognized this need and have been trying to fill this gap, but it is still difficult. It is hard to stay engaged and, like you, are making a difference in silence.
This is why I treasure every comment and email I get, even the hate mail. At least it means I’m reaching someone.
Nonetheless, the most successful dissidents are the ones that develop formal support networks. Even anonymous ones, as long as they are viable and not feds.
4) Perhaps one of the biggest reasons of dissident disengagement, however, is the pathway problem. Dissidents come over here to this side of politics because they learn truth. This means they are first willing to accept truth. That already puts them in the minority.
If people stay on that path, I firmly believe that it has to end with Jesus Christ. He is Truth personified and perfected.
So, most dissidents start with a political lens. They may even come before that with an economic one. But eventually, with enough intellectual curiosity, they continue to learn and go deeper. They want the big questions answered. But the biggest questions always lead us to spirituality. Politics does not have the answer.
So, those that eventually go the full length—that spiritual route—find God. And a lot of them then focus more effort on Him over politics.
Which, of course, is a great thing. But it doesn’t mean you need to abandon your countryman. Which, I feel like is often what happens. Half of the spiritual finalists go internal, and do not see the commands to love your neighbors (which means to stay in the fight).
Conversely, some guys get to the spiritual part and they go even harder fighting for their people.
So, some leave and some go even harder when they reach the end.
This is a difficulty in keeping dissidents engaged. I think we do a disservice by not talking about this more openly, and not encouraging people to go that full route for God, but then to stick with us. Because I think what they would actually find at the end is what God asks of us. The dissident should be even more fired up to fight for their people.
But since we don’t talk about it, they are left in the dark. They find what they find and then they leave.
While that pathway is not great, it is at least better than the weirdos. Some dissidents take the political route until they hit the spiritual progression, and then they become nutjobs.
I’m talking: Economics -> Politics -> Spirituality -> Weird Pagan Cult. Not a good look.
You all know what I’m talking about. The political dissidents that make up their own religions, adopt some weird pagan Odin bullshit, or fall in hard-core on the enlightenment science voodooism.
These people follow the same progression. They probably start with economics, go to politics, and then hit spirituality. But they’re just too weak to accept the full truth in the spirituality department. So, they go crazy due to the hyper-focus on the material.
I think the human biodiversity guys, the ultra-antisemites waving Nazi flags and wearing stupid costumes, the dissident evolutionists, and similar groups fall in this category.
It is hard to keep dissidents engaged when they become insane. It is also hard to keep the non-insane dissidents engaged when they see and learn from these freaks. All of these things contribute to a lack of engagement long term with dissidents.
At the end of the day, it is always the same pathway: Dissident politics to dissident spirituality. One rejects the modern anti-Christendom material structure of the elites, and the other rejects the modern anti-Christendom spiritual structure of the devil.
Some move on this pathway quicker than others. Some become stagnant. But from my time in this sphere, it seems like this is the pretty usual trend. There may be a few anomalies here and there, but I’ve noticed this consistently.
Read More About This Pathway Here: The Slow Process Of Becoming A Dissident & The Dissident Life Cycle.
Frankly, it is getting tough to continue to watch the newer dissidents take these paths. I don’t like to see our young guys entering the same old errors.
Which I guess is a reason that I’m still here. If I can help direct people to that Christ-focused progression pathway that ends with an invigorated dissident, I have done my job.
Eternity matters a lot more than the kingdoms of this age. But that does not mean that these kingdoms are meaningless. It’s just good to keep it in perspective.
We are not all meant to be theologians. But we all are meant to fight and minister for our people. We still need political leaders, and to completely forgo this domain is to be in error.
If you stay engaged long enough, you will notice what I am saying here. You will start to see it, too.
I think we need to talk about it more openly, so we could keep more of our boys engaged.
Being a dissident is a difficult and dangerous task. We risk a lot with little benefit, especially in our own lifetime.
But speaking, the truth is worth it. What we do is critical in keeping the torch of civilization alive. And if we truly love our neighbors, we are commanded to continue to fight for them.
Stay engaged. Stay winning. Don’t get caught up in any of these vines.

I needed some white undershirts along with groceries, so I found myself at Walmart this morning. I discovered that a pack of three white shirts, which cost about ten bucks, in now behind glass. I asked one of the workers nearby to open it for me, but she didn’t have the authority. Another had to come over with a phone to unlock the case with an app.
This black lady spent a few minutes trying to get the thing to work and then I suggested she try to unlock the next case, and I could reach in to grab it from this other case. I got my shirts and casually inquired why they were now locked up, since the value is so small compared to many things in this store which aren’t locked up. She struggled to form a coherent sentence, but it was something about “groups.”
As someone who notices things, understands efficiency, costs, etc. what sprang to my mind first is why they didn’t just use locks with a key. Keys work every time, they’re much cheaper, and they don’t rely on the internet. There are, however, certain civilizational concepts which are called into question when undershirts must be locked in a case.
Essentially, functioning countries rely on the cooperation of the general populace to function. Law enforcement is there to deal with limited quantities of exceptions. Too many exceptions, and things that functioned begin falling apart. In this sense, the authorities are paper tigers relying on the populace to volunteer its compliance. They can’t deal with even a third of the population being in a state of non-compliance, which we learned from them trying to force everyone to take the genetic injections.
Something which Americans are going to have to come to grips with is how things are done in the Third World. For instance, I live in an affluent neighborhood, and I wouldn’t even leave a lighter on my dashboard. One of my neighbors had his window smashed in because he had a Subway gift card on the front seat of his car. He was surprised because it only had three bucks left on it.
In a Third World country, you can’t even leave a car on the street at night and your house needs to be enclosed within a shoddy brick wall with broken glass cemented on top. I think he’ll be in for more surprises as this place slides further into the shitter. I’m at least not surprised.

Blacks are closer to an asteroid belt which collides with whatever comes into proximity than a collective. Still, they’re capable of understanding as a collective that they’re getting free stuff and if more people come to receive free stuff, this will be a problem for black people. They can also understand that these new people are receiving similar exemptions from law enforcement to what black people receive and are simultaneously willing to use more force on black people than white people these days.
So, they’re upset about the new arrivals. However, they’re not capable of organizing themselves much better than an asteroid belt, so they’re destined to lose a conflict with whoever shows up just like they have for their entire existence. That’s just too bad for them, they really had it good here for quite a while.
The crazy thing about America is that I’ve never even seen undershirts locked up in the Third World. Objectively, this is pretty wild. Moreover, in these derelict countries there are a lot less regulations forced on you. So, they do have their upsides, including being able to shoot someone for theft. America is on its own level in terms of insanity, tyranny, and dysfunction. This makes predictions difficult. Worse is easy of course, but the shape of things to come remains cloudy.

The world of local bigfoot variations is fairly fascinating to investigate. Sure, most people know about sasquatch and the yeti, but there are many others. One of those variations is the Fouke Monster, named after the small town in Arkansas, right where Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas meet. As a noted lover of this region and its stories, Charles B. Piece set out to make a movie about the monster. What he produced is one of the best horror films of the early 1970s and also one of the most influential movies of the era, though its influence is more covert than overt, with its biggest impact not being felt until almost three decades after its release.
That film, The Legend of Boggy Creek, eschews a traditional narrative in favor of a documentary style – the film sets up interviews with those who supposedly had an interaction with the monster, while their stories play out in a reenactment. The use of locals further gives the film its realistic feel that provides the film much of its power. It is difficult for modern viewers to fully appreciate just how groundbreaking the film was thanks to the rise of fake documentaries and “found footage” horror films; however, in the early 1970s, audiences had seen nothing like this. Keeping in the maverick ethos of low budget filmmaking, Charles B. Pierce knew he could not afford the actors or special effects that Hollywood could, so he competed by presenting something that mainstream cinema did not. In this case, it was a brand-new narrative style.
What winds up on film is a textbook example of the art of restraint. Amazingly for a horror film, The Legend of Boggy Creek is rated G, although it would be PG today. Still, the film is a great example of how to produce terror by what is not shown rather than by what is shown. Pierce understands how to make his audience’s imagination work to create a sense of terror. It really does feel like what we are all watching is real. The use of locals, rather than professional actors, further adds to this sense of realism.
As mentioned before, The Legend of Boggy Creek is one of the most influential movies of the era. In many ways, its influence can be determined in two distinct phases. The first phase is more overt, immediate, but also more temporary. The next phase is more covert, delayed, but has also radically altered horror cinema for the past 25 years. The first phase can be seen with the slew of bigfoot movies that formed a minor, if consistent, part of the rural drive-in circuit for a number of years after The Legend of Boggy Creek was released. Remember, The Legend of Boggy Creek was actually one of the biggest hits of 1972. In the years before the blockbuster-dominated mindset came in the wake of the Jaws/Star Wars one-two punch, The Legend of Boggy Creek could be the 11th highest grossing film of the year. Needless to say, bigfoot was viewed as big money and other filmmakers rushed to make their own bigfoot films. The films range from being highly enjoyable in their own right to being downright unwatchable, with the similarly Southern-set Creature from Black Lake along with Night of the Demon being the two best films to come out of the post-Boggy Creek bigfoot cinema landscape.
But there is a second, and even more impactful, phase of The Legend of Boggy Creek’s influence. The Legend of Boggy Creek, with its pseudo-documentary style, directly anticipated the rise of the “found footage” subgenre. The creators of The Blair Witch Project have openly named it as one of their biggest influences, and as much as I hate The Blair Witch Project, it is still hard not to admire just how much this little unassuming movie from a local Arkansas filmmaker has had. The “found footage” genre has radically altered the horror landscape, and The Legend of Boggy Creek is the template for which that entire genre flows. At the very least, this film is one of the best examples of a filmmaker blurring the line of reality and fiction, and it all comes together wonderfully. There is a reason, despite its restraint, the film managed to scare so many children of the 1980s, children raised on Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, as they watched the film during its repeated showings on late night television. Pierce understood his resource limitations and used them to his greater benefit.
Sadly, the film has slipped through the cultural cracks in recent years, most of which is not due to the film aging poorly (it hasn’t), but rather due to its troubled release in the DVD era. For years it was assumed that the film had fallen into public domain, meaning that while it was pretty easy to find, most of the releases were of poor quality and sourced from the VHS. Unless a public domain film is of the stature of Night of the Living Dead, it is very difficult for it to get a high-quality release, its commonly viewed as not worth it. Finally in 2019, it was discovered that the film was not actually in public domain and the film rights went to Pierce’s daughter. The film was released on Blu-Ray, but there were a limited number of copies, and it can be difficult to find today.
But the effort is well worth it. Pierce’s shooting of rural Arkansas is absolutely stunning, and I am grateful that the Blu-Ray version has finally allowed us to see just what the man intended. It really does look like footage from a very good nature documentary. It shows Pierce’s technical talent in a way that has not been fully appreciated yet. All and all, The Legend of Boggy Creek is a textbook example of how horror movies can thrive on restraint even in the modern (post-1968) era that still works well today, even as its once unheard-of narrative style has become commonplace.

After the Democrats switched out President Biden for Vice President Harris this summer, America experienced a rushed introduction to a candidate it has known for five years. She was different. She was new. She was brat. It hyped up the base. After the sugar high, people started to ask what her policy positions were. There have been few if any and this caused vigorous harrumphs from the Right but revealed the truth about the Democrats. No policies are needed anymore.
Biden’s tenure did have policies and did involve legislation. We witnessed an Inflation Reduction Act, which was a renamed Green New Deal. America’s borders were wide open and foreigners flown into the US in numbers equal to small states. America fully funded a proxy war against a nuclear power, and supported another dust up that may grow into a regional war. What was Kamala going to do? Nothing.
Nothing. It does not matter. Biden’s tenure also cemented how the president is a ceremonial role. The permanent government and its high end beneficiaries dictate the terms. Revealing for one month (to oust him) that Biden was a listless geezer showed what many suspected. People forget that Obama himself was not an agent of change but merely a spokesman for the zeitgeist and fellow traveler in the changes in society. We already reached the point where the Democrats view the role this way. One can look at the 2019 Democrat nomination process and see that none of them had accomplishments but were merely different demographics promoting the same current year pablum.
Kamala flip-flopping or staying mum means nothing. She is a non-entity, similar to the Obama is an empty suit accusation. If she wins, the same policies of 2024 will continue in 2025. The branding of America’s federal government as a nonpartisan entity should be buried even in the minds of the most naive adult, and events of the last decade should have made it clear.
There is a special thing that does matter for 2025. The plate-spinning on economic numbers will stop, and we will likely see a confirmed recession or at minimum an admission that it is rough out there. Who gets to reward and aid whom matters. Never forget that there was no infrastructure stimulus under Obama because it would pay white men disproportionately. We got social welfare and an expansion in student loans for consumers.
Calls for policies do not matter. After the Kamala-Biden swap, I was in Rhode Island. Rhode Island is 70% white, will vote for Kamal at a 55-60% rate and has seen population stagnate so much they almost lost an electoral vote. It is a husk of its former self. There are many whiter than white suburbs and small towns in Rhode Island. Drive through them and one will see Harris-Walz signs dotting lawns. These white voters know groceries have doubled. They have Ukraine flags, some weathered, and are good people. They know a vote for Kamala is more of the same. They grumble about immigrants flooding Providence and Boston, but that is always another city. Eventually, cities will unload those immigrants. Eventually, non-profits will run out of red towns with capacity. Construction firms will gladly build apartment complexes in their towns, and they will find city managers and mayors will be just as corrupt in their town as in Springfield, Ohio. The federal government is a self-running system, and it has protected and rewarded them so far.
The policies do not matter. Come on man, everything is better since we voted out the Orange Man. It’s vibes. Kamala is joyful. The television and iPhone say so! One more election to defeat the Orange Man, and then they can turn the page. These higher income white enclaves are readers and will gladly turn the page. The bad news is that they will not like the next chapter.

Filmmaker Charles B. Pierce was a man of many talents. During a career that saw its greatest amount of success in the 1970s, he worked in a wide variety of genres, though he was especially drawn to horror, crime, and Westerns. It was in the action genre where he would make his greatest pop cultural impact when working as a story writer on the fourth Dirty Harry movie Sudden Impact. It was Pierce who wrote the iconic line, “Go ahead, make my day” uttered by Clint Eastwood. According to Pierce, the line actually originated with his own father. Pierce, as a teenager of the 1950s, deeply admired the rebellious teen icons of the era like James Dean. His father, though, would have none of this and used that famous line to warn his son of the consequences of not mowing the lawn. But his career is much more than that, as will be examined in this series of articles. This first article will examine his life and general career, as well as the overarching themes present in his work. The second article will examine his most famous film, The Legend of Boggy Creek. The third article will look at his best work, The Town that Dreaded Sundown. The fourth and final article will examine Pierce’s work within the context of the now largely and sadly forgotten regional exploitation filmmakers of the 1960s-1980s.
Though technically born in Indiana, he would move with his family to the small south Arkansas town of Hampton when he was just a few months old, and it was here where he would always call home. His love of this region – north Louisiana/south Arkansas is one of the most notable elements in his body of work. He loves the region – its land, its history, and its people. To him, these are great people with fascinating stories, stories that needed to be told and he was the man to do it. What is even more telling his how much respect he has for his subjects. Unlike many “Hicksploitation” directors, Pierce has a lack of critical Southern stereotypes in his films. For as much as Hollywood has enjoyed trafficking in certain anti-Southern stereotypes, such as hackneyed stupidity, Pierce avoids this tired trope. There are stupid characters for comic relief, but these are the exception. Pierce also stocks his films with intelligent and seriously minded Southerners.
Martin Scorsese has long been noted as the director of ethnic Catholic America, especially Italian-Americans in films such as Who’s That Knocking at My Door, Mean Streets, and Goodfellas. Scorsese loves his people, and he is moved by the Little Italy that molded him. I would compare Pierces use of Dixie, especially Arkansas, to how Scorsese used Little Italy. Both men wanted to tell the stories of the guys they grew up with. But perhaps his daughter said it best, “Arkansas claims him, and he claimed Arkansas.” And he was an Arkansan through and through. He loved his state and her people. He loved the Razorbacks. And though he would often incorporate the neighboring regions of Louisiana and Texas into his work, it is clear that Arkansas holds a special place in his heart.
Pierce’s love of Arkansas is further evident in how long he remained a regional filmmaker. He would stay in his little corner of Dixie for almost all of his career, moving to California only in the mid-1980s when changing market trends killed off the independent theaters that played films by quirky oddballs like him. This is important, because upon watching Pierce’s better films, something that becomes apparent is that he had strong technical skills. His films are lovingly and beautifully shot and watching them now fully restored on Blu-ray further illustrates his technical talents. In other words, he could have easily moved to California earlier on in his career and found work easily, perhaps as a solid journeyman filmmaker, the kind of guy who made enjoyable, if not groundbreaking movies at a steady pace. But Pierce opted to stay in Arkansas where he could tell the stories he wanted about the people he thought mainstream Hollywood cinema was either ignoring or slandering.
Pierce made his last widely seen film in 1985 (Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues) and his last film in 1998 (Chasing the Wind). Although he moved to California in an attempt to continue his career, his move would not pan out, even as he penned one of Harry Callahan’s most famous lines. As talented as he was, he was just not cut out for the low budget cinema of the 1980s. The 1970s were far kinder to him. Despite his late career move, he would die in his beloved South, passing away of natural causes in Tennessee in 2010. He is missed. He was one of the best filmmakers of his ilk of the 1970s, and his films are just begging to be rediscovered. Two of those films will be examined in the next articles of this series.

One theory that has always been of major interest to me from a philosophical standpoint is the ‘theory of continual degeneration.’
This theory posits that, rather than evolving or improving overtime, humanity is instead gradually declining in physical, intellectual, and spiritual capacities. It puts forward the idea that due to various internal and external factors, we are facing a slow but steady decline of humanity.
This theory spits in the face of evolution, which largely hypothesizes the exact opposite. Or at least evolution used to do so until they realized they were clearly wrong in many circumstances. Now, they’ve taken a more ambiguous route with calling much of it “random” and claiming it could be good or bad due to mutations. They’ll say whatever they have to in order to make their theory work.
But enough evolution trash talk. The competing theory of continual degeneration has stayed the course. This concept has been around a lot longer than evolution, and has been debated by the ancient historians, philosophers, biologists, anthropologists, and even Enlightenment thinkers.
In fact, one could argue that this is one of the earliest origin beliefs.
It is obviously present in Christianity. The story of Adam and Eve portrays a flawless beginning, followed by a moral descent that led to a physical decline.
If you actually take time to read the Bible, you’ll also notice continual degeneration as a trend throughout it. Just look at the length of life for a clear example. The oldest patriarchs lived 10 times the length that we live now. It gradually reduced over time.
The rapid decline in biblical lifespans over generations – Lifespan vs. number of generations from Noah for various biblical figures. (source: from Creation.com)Now, of course, in the modern day, you have people claiming we are living longer. But this is just a nice hand trick with the statistics, since babies are more likely to survive to reach adulthood, thereby increasing the average age of life across the generation. Still, if we compare it to biblical ages, we are obviously living far less. A minor jump here or there of +/- 15 years changes nothing.
In Christianity, we also see this theory with the apostasy of the church. The church was strongest when Jesus was here. Then, overtime, it slowly degenerated. The Bible even mentions in the very last times that a great apostasy would come to overtake the church. I personally believe that time is now, if you just look at the churches of the modern age. But regardless of when that is, it clearly is going to happen.
The church is not improving. It is getting far worse.
Continual degeneration.
The same degeneration belief is found in other religious thought. The Hindu’s four cycles gradually decline until utter abomination. Look up the four epochs or yugas if you are interested.
Even the ancient Greek and Romans used to believe in a “golden age of humanity”, where early humans lived in harmony with nature and each other. But, we are now more distant from this age. As time increases, they believed we will become further distant from that golden era.
This concept is present among many religious schools of thought. The only group that has ever opposed it is the modern Enlightenment evolutionist. The same group that changes their positions every five years or so. Not exactly a side I would wish to be on.
But even some Enlightenment thinkers during the Age of the Enlightenment upheld these beliefs. Philosophers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau held a similar argument: he believed that the corrupting influence of civilization on humanity has degraded us from the natural state where we were healthier and more virtuous.
Some scientists, like Cesare Lombroso, took Darwin’s ideas of beneficial evolution and applied it to degeneration.
Max Nordau wrote in his book, Degeneration (1892), that modern society, particularly its culture, brought about degeneration. He strongly argued that things like the industrial revolution and culture were the driving force of continual degeneration.
I think all of these guys are right in their own way. But they did not piece together the full picture. When we look around, it is hard to deny that degeneration is occurring everywhere. We are nowhere as strong, virtuous, or intelligent as our ancestors.
Hell, we even have random diseases, affecting us now that never used to exist. Look at modern things like allergies, autism, obesity, and other such degenerative conditions.
We are becoming weaker, more frail, and more just plain weird. Sure, we have sporadic times that offset these general trends. But if you look at the overall trend, it would be similar to the chart above. We keep dropping on average. Sadly, we are not getting better. We are getting worse.
But I take a more nuanced approach as to why this is happening.
As a Christian, I believe in continual degeneration. I believe we are going to continue to get worse until Christ returns. But I think the methods are multifaceted. As God often likes to do. The root reason is the Fall, but the methods are many.
Here are just a few of the methods I think continual degeneration is occurring through:
We are at such a point that we now need tools like CRISPR to fix our own genome from the very problems we have caused. Hilariously (and ironically), we need CRISPR to fix autism that was likely caused by our vaccines and weird seed oils. We’ll need a lot of CRISPR to fix all the damages from the toxic substances and processed foods we ingest.
We even need other medical advancements like Ozempic to fix the obesity degeneration that was caused by prosperity and the sedentary lifestyles brought about due to technology. It’s all a loop.
Heck, more people are literate now than in history. But what do they use that literacy for? To better scroll through TikTok videos… IQ surely has not increased over time.
Each supposed “advancement” that humans can name is actually just a correction for a prior degeneration. With very few exceptions.
Humanity sure is a wild ride.
Whether you believe in the theory of continual degeneration or not, it does raise very thought-provoking questions. What is the future of humanity? How should we respond to various advancements when they do happen (like Artificial Intelligence)? And many more.
This theory gives us a unique way to look at the world around us. In my opinion, a biblical way. But also a way that most other modern people do not see the world. So it becomes a unique, treasured insight.
However you decide to look at the future and answer those hard philosophical questions, keep in mind this theory of continual degeneration. If nothing else, it should serve as a cautionary warning. Perhaps even a bellwether.

There are two big problems with Matt Walsh’s new comedy/documentary Am I Racist? First, it lacks anything interesting or even coherent to say about race relations, which destroys any point in making a documentary. Second, it’s not very funny, which raises certain problems in making a comedy.
There’s no reason why this movie shouldn’t work. The premise is pretty simple: a conservative Borat, except where in that film the marks are respectable middle-American types, here the marks are the worst and most credulous and stupidest people on earth. More than that, the film is produced by the Daily Wire, which means they have the resources to actually get these con artists and scumbags together in one place. And in fact, they are able to get some of the most notorious race grifters into the room with Matt Walsh, which is an impressive feat, the film’s failures notwithstanding.
The problem is all in the execution, which is everything. First off, it’s a film, so it needs some kind of premise to move it forward. What we get is that Matt Walsh wants to learn about racism (of course, we know he doesn’t) but he’s too famous to infiltrate most anti-racist groups (pretty dubious) and so he needs to don a bad wig and some different glasses in order to do so (OK, maybe he’s not that famous). It’s such a lazy setup not even aspiring to the level of fiction. Even a neutral observer watching Sacha Baron Cohen had to concede that the fish-out-of-water premise was funny. It makes it easier to endure what is, after all, blatant mockery of your political enemies. Why not bring in Ben Shapiro threatening to fire him if he doesn’t get diversity training? It’s not a big deal, but when your schtick is “humble everyman” encountering crazy people, the extra layer of conceit really helps.
Take a step back from it all, and you realize that the central theme of the film is the greatness of black people, whose sanctity is besmirched by the rising tide of race hustlers (mostly women—some white women). After all, hate crimes are down (a very light-skinned professor comes on to talk about that). And some French Guyanan immigrants from the Bayou are there to tell you how great America is. Also, Walsh talks to some Good-Ol’-Boys who drunkenly assure us that they’re living by Dr. King’s mantras and that the only people keeping alive racism are the people attacking it (or maybe that was a Thomas Sowell quote, but same difference).
To put it succinctly: the movie is totally about black/white race relations, and the filmmakers are really, really afraid of offending black people. As such, jokes that would have flown fast and furious in sitcoms just ten years ago are verboten here. Walsh gets off one decent crack about a black carjacker. The best ethnic joke in the film is told by a stand-in for Matt’s racist uncle (who should’ve had much more screen time) and it’s about Mexican men. That’s about it as far as real wisecracking goes. Look, I’m not expecting Walsh and crew to promote overturning the 14th Amendment, but why can’t they at least try to bring comedy back to the edginess of circa-2010 Jay Leno? That raises the question: if race relations are really so great, why can’t we tell jokes about one another?
Straight black men come off pretty well in the film. Women are the primary focus of Walsh’s real animosity. The filmmakers keep track of the amount they have to pay the DEI experts to come talk to them on camera. One of them is a Ph.D. holder from Arizona State who harassed some white people in a student lounge for a “Police Lives Matter” bumper sticker on their computers. Another is a black mother who sought legal action after her two girls were snubbed by someone in a Sesame Street outfit at a parade. This woman, according to the producers, got $50,000 to appear in the movie. Listening to her, it’s pretty clear that this woman shouldn’t fetch $50,000 on a slave market, let alone for an interview. But Walsh doesn’t even raise any real disputes with them, let alone mock them. These people are clear charlatans and crooks who deserve all kinds of chastisement and probably much worse. At the very least, he could’ve asked them some hypothetical questions about breakfast that morning.
It’s hard to tell if the producers are just toothless, insipid, or lazy. The best comedic bit of the movie is with White Fragility author Robin DiAngelo (again, kudos for just getting the interview). Walsh brings out a black producer and starts giving him reparations directly out of his wallet. After some prodding and debate over systemic and personal acts against racism, he convinces DiAngelo to chip in thirty bucks from her purse (which the producers tally against the $20k they have already paid her).
That’s a good bit, but it’s one of the few real bits conjured up in the whole film. Most of the time, the producers are content to bring on the shysters to embarrass themselves. But if that’s the only scheme, why not just watch YouTube videos, or browse their twitter accounts? Why go through with such an elaborate setup if you’re not willing to deliver the punchline?—especially when the premise is like shooting fish in a barrel. The problem faced by derisory comics like Sacha Baron Cohen, Robert Smigel, Don Rickels (etc.) is that at some point the audience might start to sympathize with the objects of mockery. But the people Walsh interviews are the biggest con artists in the world. Real insult comics used to be twice as mean to people they liked, while Walsh gives kids-glove treatment to people he supposedly hates. One thing I kept thinking while I was watching was, couldn’t they find a Jew to do this?
The theater I was in was full of like-minded Trump supporters, all of us probably desperate for some entertainment that doesn’t openly despise us. The problem is that it just isn’t very good. It isn’t because the people making it don’t have talent; if Walsh were to hone his comedic chops, he could carry a movie pretty easy. But the movie is kind of a conservative version of the “nod and clap” stuff that has made all liberal comedy unbearable since Trump rode down the elevator. But literally all the Daily Wire folks have to do to get schlubs like me in the seats is make comedies with jokes in them. Instead of pushing “conservative media,” why can’t they just conserve media?

Jews will push a situation as far as it can possibly be taken without regards to the consequences this will eventually bring upon them. They’re evil and this is part of their nature even if some of them can recognize that what they’re doing collectively will go terribly wrong right away. Christ warned us. Nobody should be surprised.
Thus, tolerating their aggression simply leads to escalation. This is lesson learned by the Russians the hard way. Tolerance of Jewish aggression against them and trying to negotiate a peaceful settlement simply led to a massive war which is now being fought inside of Russia’s pre-war borders.

Putin says he’s fighting Nazi’s doing the bidding of “the Anglo-Saxons,” which drives them crazy, but has remarked that any deal with the West serves merely to buy it time to put a knife into Russia’s back. The Russian government also now labels the West as “non-agreement capable.” He knows, the Jews know, and we know that he’s referring to the Jews.
The hysteria over Putin by Western politicians and the media is a direct result of Jewish fear and loathing of him since he took control of Russia and put an end to their looting operation and later thwarted their demolition of Syria.
The average American wouldn’t otherwise care about Russia and doesn’t understand anything about it, let alone the fact that these Jews who hijacked our country came from the former Russian Empire and Soviet Union. We’re simply told that Robert Kagan is a foreign policy expert and Victoria Nuland represents America’s global struggle for freedom in the State Department.
It’s therefore hard for Americans to understand that all the United States has been doing since the end of the Cold War is crossing red line after red line against the targets of Jewish aggression, which can never be placated or satisfied because Jews believe themselves to be entitled to the entire planet and the literal enslavement of humanity. Whether they subscribe to this notion through faith in their Satanic religious document, the Talmud, or through genetic instinct, is really of no importance to the rest of us.

What Hamas got from negotiating with the Jews was the Jews murdering their lead negotiator on a diplomatic compound in Iran while the genocide went on unabated. What Iran and Hezbollah get from showing restraint in the face of Jewish aggression was a dastardly pager attack and now a massive assault on Lebanon which seems to be aimed at turning it into an unlivable zone the same as Gaza. The thing is though, the situation eventually goes wrong for the Jews every single time.
For example, they’re positively giddy about the success of their terrorist attack with the exploding pagers and walkie talkies while ignoring what a dirty and underhanded act they just performed in full view of the world. I’ve done a lot of business in China and Taiwan, and I follow the Chinese media. What stands out to me in the Chinese coverage is what a dirty thing this was to do, but also how the Jews just turned China into the trusted manufacturer of any device that Jews could pack with a thin strip of explosives to murder someone.
There are a lot of people around the planet, myself included, who are now worried about the Jews blowing them up with their cell phone. China is making better phones than Apple these days, and that’s what people are going to start using instead. Whatever surveillance China has on their phone isn’t really a problem compared to the phone exploding in my back pocket. The footage of the aftermath is really gruesome, so I won’t post it here. It wasn’t worth the hundreds of people they killed or maimed, but the Jews simply can’t consider things from this angle.
Likewise, they take forbearance for weakness. After Putin had no choice but to order the SMO back in February of 2022, a major question posed even by the Russian public was why he didn’t act immediately when the Ukrainian government was overthrown by the United States back in 2014. NATO used the eight ensuing years to prepare a massive war against Russia. In theory, that would’ve been a better time to intervene.
Putin talks about his desire for a peaceful solution, but the most interesting answer came from Medvedev: Russia needed time to rebuild its military industrial complex. Moreover, it wouldn’t have been able to cope with the agricultural sanctions in particular. The entire point of forcing Putin’s hand in 2022 was to justify sanctions to collapse Russia’s economy, so he avoided walking into the trap set up for him until the sanctions could be ignored successfully.
The Jews smelled blood in the water in 2022 and their entire Western apparatus was giddy about Russia’s imminent implosion and then it never happened. In short, their aggression backfired on them. Now the credibility of Western military and economic dominance has been squandered. Even the Houthis are willing to challenge it because they knew that they could win.

The fact that Hezbollah and Iran tried to be patient simply led to the Jews using the opportunity to attempt a leadership decapitation and now an effort to depopulate Lebanon. Hezbollah has no choice at this point but to fight to the best of its capabilities because otherwise the Jews are going to kill them all. They’ve already had success against its commando leadership, leveling an entire apartment building to murder them.
While the Jews are going to have to go to great lengths to get rid of the Arabs from Gaza and Lebanon, the Arabs won’t have this problem with the Jews. Jews are aggressive but they’re also hysterical, cowardly parasites. The Arabs don’t have to level every building in Israel to get them to leave, unlike what the Jews are being forced to do with them.
The other thing that doesn’t seem to be taken into consideration is that it isn’t in Russia and China’s interests to see a general conflict in the Middle East, but there’s probably not much these outside parties can do to restrain the situation now that the Jews have shown they can’t be relied on to follow any deal or even behave with basic humanity.
A settler from Kiryat Bialik, north of occupied Haifa, told Zionist newspaper Maariv:
"We have never seen anything like this before, not even in 2006. We all assumed that there would be a response from Hezbollah, but we did not think it would be this strong, especially when… pic.twitter.com/NYK6gEwn7L

Video games can be fun. At various times in my life, I’ve had enough time to play them. Not right now, but sometimes I did. One of the game series I enjoyed was Dead Space. Essentially, you show up to a derelict outer space location where everyone is dead and horror ensues. The plot was great so I don’t want to give too much away in case you have time to play video games.
Perhaps this will be a plausible scenario for the International Space Station whenever whoever shows up to rescue those astronauts finally arrives. There’d really be no fun in playing a video game about starving to death in a can floating around the Earth. Pretty much the same thing goes for getting laid off from an engineering job so your aerospace company can hire black people instead. I’ve heard it’s getting tough in the job market even for white male engineers, but this is what one would expect as civilization collapses in on itself.

Video game plots often involve abstractions, such as dystopian future scenarios. These were welcome distractions from real life, but now that the future arrives and the dystopia is something we live, the abstractions are less fun because we know what is actually going to happen. We know that they’ll hire the diversity and calamity will ensue. I’ve been writing about it for years and actually well before I started quoting the Bible and feeling crazy. This is no fun at all.
Diversity means dysfunction and when you put large, complicated flying machines into the scenario, it means these things will crash or at least pieces will fall off of them and kill people below. In other words, you can predict the calamity based on the simple formula of diversity + to whatever it’s being added. For example, if you add Haitians to automobiles, then everyone in the area will have their insurance premiums tripled. We’re talking about math here, and math is boring.

The basic premise of much of the fiction I’ve been consuming my entire life is that while the future might be terrible, it’ll at least be exciting. You’ll be battling Skynet’s extermination robots through the rubble of LA, this sort of thing. The reality has turned out to be that the Jews will murder you by blowing up your pager, which was cutting edge technology when the original Terminator movie came out. To be honest, I’ve been nervous around my phone all week. It’s so diabolical but simultaneously lame.
Moreover, they’ll never stop bringing up stuff from the past that isn’t even true and furthermore is disproven now that they’re trying this thing they claimed happened in the past and it proves to be a disaster. As these poor bastards up in the space station remain stranded because Boeing is too diverse get them home or even stop parts from falling off its planes, Congress just cranked out yet another award for the black female secretaries from NASA they claimed programmed the moon missions. They’re not even alive anymore, but just like Emmet Till, the fake story never goes away.
The moon missions were possible because, back then, NASA was too racist to rely on diversity and had white male mathematicians with PhDs do the calculations. This is exactly what anyone sane and reasonable would expect. Why they’d rely on the least suitable demographic on this entire planet for math to program space missions defies all reasons until our End Times when there’s not even a mission because they can’t get the ship to work.
These black women were exactly what their job titles stated: secretaries. The area around the facility is quite black, so that was the labor pool from which NASA was hiring for these sorts of non-technical jobs that weren’t critical to the mission’s success. It wasn’t hiding anything until this absurd story was made up about them. Coastal and Central Virginia is full of blacks. NASA hired them instead of spending lots of money bringing in white secretaries from somewhere else.
It would be like if the Jews produced a movie about my life after I’m dead and made it about how the surly old black guy I pay to cut my lawn was actually the one who caught all the dogs and wrote all these ID articles. This would be ridiculous. Having to constantly maintain a straight face as we’re told all of this ridiculous shit is turning out to be one of the most challenging aspects of our unfolding future.

Loyal Dixians often state a desire for the South to be a Christian country. We had better be sure that we understand what that entails.
Many wonderful visions come to mind: Churches full of parishioners singing hymns, receiving the holy mysteries, praying, etc.; families saying their prayers together at home in the morning and at night and before they eat their meals; the honoring of the saints of our forefathers; magistrates of the government carrying out their duties with the love of God and of their fellow citizens as their inspiration; and so forth.
But there is another side of this that is not so often spoken or thought of: suffering. This is inevitable for Christians, either as individuals, families, church congregations, or as the great family – the ethnos. The Holy Apostle Paul is explicit: ‘Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution’ (II Timothy 3:12).
If Dixie begins to walk the path of dedication solely to Christ, we will face opposition from the enemies of God. In a sense, this is old news. Southern love for the Holy Trinity brought upon us the wrath of the apostate Yankees in the War; and what remains of our love for God continues to animate the God-hating Yankees/globalists to make life as miserable for us as they are able.
Nevertheless, there is also a sense that an independent, Christian South will eliminate all of this once and for all; that, being separated from the Yankee/Leftist States will mean the appearance of a calm Golden Age.
Church history forbids such a fantasy. Two countries come quickly to mind: Serbia and Georgia. From the time of their baptisms, both have suffered frequent crucifixions by the enemies of the Church: pagan Persian fire-worshippers, Muslim Turks, communists, and others besides. Dixie has a certain kinship with both, owing to all three being conquered by anti-Christian powers, which we have described elsewhere. For Serbia, see this essay, as well as this one. For Georgia, see here and here. Yet they remain faithful to God, and He continues to resurrect them from the grave.
We turn once again to the history of Georgia to illustrate what awaits the South in one form or another if we walk the path of faithfulness to Christ. It is the story of the martyrs and princes Bidzini, Elizabar, and Shalvi (Feast Day 18 Sept.). In their time, Georgia was being forcefully resettled with foreigners (something Southerners can easily identify with):
In the 17th century the Persian aggressors razed churches, monasteries, and fortresses and drove out thousands of Georgian families to resettle them in remote provinces of Persia. The deserted territories were settled by Turkic tribes from Central Asia. In the chronicle The Life of Kartli it is written: “The name of Christ was not allowed to be uttered, except in a handful of mountainous regions: Tusheti, Pshavi, and Khevsureti.”
The Lord, as He so often does, raised up leaders to help the Georgians in their time of dire need:
But the All-merciful Lord aroused a strong desire in the valiant prince Bidzina Choloqashvili of Kakheti and, together with Shalva and his uncle Elizbar, princes of Aragvi and Ksani provinces, he led a struggle to liberate Kakheti from the Tatars. (The Persian governor of Kakheti, Salim Khan (1656-1664), had been encouraging the Tatar tribesmen to profane the Christian churches.)
With the help of God and one of His most renowned saints – the Patron Saint of Georgia, in fact – the holy princes routed the Persians and praised their Holy Benefactors:
On the moonless night of September 15, 1659, the feast of the Alaverdi church (The feast of Saint Joseph of Alaverdi) the united army of all eastern Georgia assembled and crossed over the mountains, past the village of Akhmeta, and launched a surprise attack on the Persians from Bakhtrioni Fortress and Alaverdi Church. The invader’s armies were so utterly crushed that their leader, Salim Khan, the Persian governor of Kakheti, barely succeeded in escaping from the avengers, after he had abandoned his family and army.
The victorious Georgian army offered prayers of thanksgiving to the Lord God and Great-martyr George, the protector of the Georgian people, who had appeared visibly to all during the battle, riding his white horse like a flash of lightning and leading the Georgians to victory.
But the celebration of victory was short-lived. Torments and death awaited them at the command of Shah Abbas II and his underlings:
. . . the enraged Salim Khan, the vassal of Shah Abbas, ordered the beheading of Elizbar and Shalva, hoping by this to break Bidzina’s resolve. But his efforts were in vain. “There is nothing sweeter than death for Christ’s sake!” Bidzina proclaimed.
The Ksani princes calmly bowed their heads, but the undersized executioners could not reach the stately princes with their swords. So the shah’s henchmen hacked each of the princes in two at the shins, then decapitated them after they had fallen to an accessible height.
But even the murder of his companions would not cause Saint Bidzina’s will to waver. So the enemies resolved to break his will by mockery. They draped the bound prince in a chadar (the veil worn by Muslim women), seated him on a donkey, and paraded him through the streets. Then they began to butcher him alive. One by one they cut off his fingers and toes, then they chopped off his hands and feet, then his arms and legs, until only his head remained unharmed. It was clear from the movement of his lips that the holy martyr was praying.
Then one of the persecutors pierced his heart with a spear. This happened in the year 1661. The mutilated bodies of the holy martyrs remained under the open sky for one day, and no one was permitted to go near them.
At the end of it all, once again the Heavenly Father exalted His children:
During the night they were illumined by a brilliant light. Then a group of Christians secretly buried the saints’ remains. Several years later Saint Shalva’s wife Ketevan and son David sent several of the faithful to Persia to bring back their relics. Crowds of believers gathered at the Kartli border to meet the holy relics and accompany them with hymns of rejoicing to their final resting place at the Ikorta Church of the Archangels.
And through many other tribulations, the Christian country of Georgia still stands, still fights the good fight, having just recently passed a raft of legislation to ban the LGBT cult and its promotion in the Georgian land.
All of this is what the South must expect if we choose faithfulness to Christ: a never-ending battle with the world and the devil, victories and defeats, heroes and traitors, glory, death, and resurrection, perpetual martyrdom. There is certainly no crown greater than that given to the victorious martyrs of Christ. Should Southrons earn them in contests with the demons and their human allies, it will be to our everlasting glory as a people. But are we ready for those contests? That is the essential question we must answer as we stand at the threshold of a collapse of the demonic Yankee Empire and the birth of a free South with a Christian future before her.

Recently, I was fortunate to celebrate another wedding anniversary, nearly four decades. And I couldn’t help but reflect on how it all began—how it mirrors our Southern national movement. As you get older, you tend to analyze the paths taken and how they transformed your original trajectory and the broader scope of your life.
It all started with a bang!
In an instant I fell in love, no other had been more beautiful to me than she. I’m sure many of you fell in love with Dixie the same way. There you were, minding your own business, not looking for anything special, and there she was, right in front of your eyes. She was all of a sudden everywhere, all around, in your every thought. She was without blemish, and you were shocked when others could not see that beauty, or worse, did not care. With even an errant thought of some imperfection in her by another man, you were ready for pistols at dawn.
When you are captivated by young love, it seems every conversation is about the future. You envision a perfect life going forward, nothing can convince you otherwise, and the greatest triumph of that love is children. From the start, I wanted as many children as the Lord would provide. Love naturally wants to expand beyond its initial boundaries. Procreation is natural. Passing on your genes to another generation ensures the future; it makes you immortal. If you are an active participant in our movement, you are passing those physical and ideological genes onto the next generation. You are securing a future for our people, an existence out of love for the Southland.
I remember the excitement and terror of finding out my wife was pregnant for the first time. We were relatively poor, early twenties, not ready in any way, but we knew God was faithful. And when he came, that little, blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy was perfect! God had given us a soul to train up in the way he should go, so that when he was old, he should not depart. I am happy to report all went well, even to this day. As evangelists for our people, our objective is birthing and converting more of our kindred, and those conversions come with responsibilities. We are only in the fledgling stages of our resurrection as a sovereign nation, and raising our children to carry on after us is our first priority.
Personally, I am in the second stage of ensuring a future for Dixie, grandchildren, but more specifically, grandsons. God has blessed me with four little warriors, and God willing, many more. My little tribe of Southerners has expanded from two to well over a dozen; our family is a dedicated force multiplier for our people. That’s how this all works! As we procreate committed ideological Southerners, detached from Americanism, we reforge our particular tribe. Families have identities, and in coherent societies you are known by your family name.
We are a noble people; that is our identity. And in the providence of God, we have been tried by fire and emerged more noble out of the flames of conquest. Christ is raising up an army to retake our homeland for His glory. Southern men will lead the way. Prepare your families. Restore lines that have been broken, as the Scriptures say, “a threefold chord is not soon broken.” Men of the South, fathers, sons, and grandsons, bind yourselves together, put away frivolous things. Pursue holiness, and become warriors in mind, body, and spirit.
This is not the trajectory I considered nearly sixty years ago, but to God’s glory, this is the path I am on, and this is the path our people are on.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!
The post Birthing a Nation, The Path Forward appeared first on Identity Dixie.
When I speak with patriotic Republicans who genuinely believe America is a free country, I list and compare the freedoms we now lack but our Founders enjoyed. After going through the transformations we suffered over the last two centuries, it is clear we oppose both the Founders and liberty, and further, what we call liberty a medieval might well view as slavery. But my interlocutors will often fall back on “we’re not as bad as most countries today,” which to them justifies their acceptance of and compliance with the current system. Sometimes it seems the only thing worth saving in America, according to its defendants, is it could be worse. This is true, as each day seems to prove, but we Americans should have, and we really need, a brighter, more radical vision. This article will focus on how things would look if we implemented my ideal political system today.
Having spent a great deal of time defending and describing the feudal kingships of the Middle Ages, one might think it is my ideal political system, but it is not. It is my favored historical system but not my ideal. I certainly would not desire a return to some of the tribal customs maintained then even after the Christian conversion. But one thing I love about those systems is they were organic; they derived from certain circumstances arising in the period. They were built up from the bottom, not forced down from the top. They were great systems for their time, situation, and need, but today we are in vastly different ones, and thus, in need of a new system as well. However, my ideals do look more similar to the kingships of the Middle Ages.
One of the central tenets of my ideal governance is consent. I would not wish to force anyone into a system they disagreed with. Thus, from the start, it would run into the problem of the vast majority of Americans immediately seceding from my system. However, to consider my ideas more robustly, we will assume they have been established and accepted across the nation.
In my system, self-governance is vital; the government is made to benefit man, not man to benefit the government. So, if a group of people wished to secede and become autonomous at any future time, they would be unhindered in doing so. All the land, and the law, is the peoples; they own it, with the government as its steward – its protector and enforcer for those people. The law and government only exist to serve the people. Many modern social ills and examples of mistreatment of people are due to the lack of self-governance. Would minorities impose harsh laws of discrimination on themselves? No majority or governmental power could oppress them if they were allowed to split off independently to govern themselves; thus, secession is always legal in my system. Further the only way to achieve self-governance within a country of diverse opinions is via decentralization, to which we will now turn.
The first step in implementing my system would be to abolish the state and all current centralized authority. Each county or each town would become completely autonomous. And if a section of a town wishes to form a new village, they are free to do so. People can seek self-governance no matter how small the minority; no majority can dictate to or steal their right to self-governance. Even a single family can create an area with their laws and customs to live by if they wish to be isolated.
This would result in thousands of diverse governmental systems people could choose from and move to. It would enable everyone to have the government of their choosing. In one town, we could have a libertarian society, the next might be communist, but neither could outvote or impose their ways on the other. They would have no authority over a smaller minority group. One area might be purely democratic where the majority decides all matters, and may have elections and politics. The next area could be monarchist, devoid of all political strife and action. Some towns might be progressive and have written laws, allowing their law to evolve or change over time. Others might be conservative with unwritten customs lived out and never changing no matter what a future majority within this section or its rulers desire, ensuring a constant law/liberty for the people within. They would not need to worry about elections, rulers, and so on since nothing could alter their customs.
In this system, the totalitarian community is just as free to live as they desire as a libertarian society. Everyone has perfect equality to control their own destiny. Between the realms, there would be no need for strife, hatred, anger, discord, etc., since each section is powerless to impose its ways on another. A society built upon the Democratic Party would never have to fear Donald Trump. A Republican society would be free of another Joe Biden. No one would have to get angry with or outspend the other over politics. No one would have to donate money, spend time fighting, arguing, or slavishly discrediting opponents; and everyone would get self-governance. One section wanting legal abortion would never have to worry about Christians taking away their “rights,” while a Christian village can follow God’s commands and outlaw the procedure.
It would be comparable to each brand of every political party winning each election. You could join a “Republican area,” a “Democratic area,” a “conservative” area, a “liberal” area, and so forth. There would be thousands of areas to choose from. We would have Catholic Republican areas, Catholic Democrat and libertarian areas, Mormon areas, Baptists, secular, Methodist, and on and on. Some towns might allow immigration; another might allow visitors, traders, and temporary workers; the next might outlaw all entry by outsiders. Libertarians who never have a chance at election success could have multiple areas with their own policies. Libertarians differ on subjects like drugs, abortion, and police yet under this system they could have multiple areas with various policies on these issues. Diversity would be embraced and protected under the law.
One objection might be, for example, as a libertarian-minded individual in Vermont, it might be a challenge to find a like-minded village. But do I need to stay in the state? If millions of people can cross the world to enter America illegally, legal movement within the country can be accomplished relatively easily. Thousands of libertarians associated with the free state project are already moving to New Hampshire, though they’re receiving far fewer benefits than my idea would offer. Further, the options becoming available as we created these new areas would be much better for a libertarian than the current situation. There are a few Republican counties within my very liberal state and one might even be described as conservative. Further, as one town or county formed its own polity, like-minded people would gravitate to it. Around 3,700 people in Vermont voted libertarian last presidential election. There could easily be a libertarian town in Vermont!
If I were to create my own realm within this rearranged America, it would look very similar to J.R.R. Tolkien’s Shire. We would rid ourselves of bureaucrats, politicians, lawyers, and legislation. A local lord would pass down the crown hereditarily. The lord must be someone who does not seek the position and so would essentially be “forced” into it, and honored for serving the people. He could never have been involved with politics, and never have held a place of power such as a boss, preferably having been a servant. Ideally, he would be someone who donates to nonprofits, and volunteers, or coaches a local sports team. The lord/king must also have numerous offspring to ensure a healthy and continued line. Ideally, he would be placed in power similarly to how Saint Martin became the bishop of Tours.[1] The position would not be premeditated, sought after, or desired but a duty or service performed by someone sacrificing for his people.
Regarding its laws, my realm would be a form of libertarian Christendom. The laws governing everyone, including the lord of the realm, would be set in stone, like the Ten Commandments. Man – neither present nor future king or majority – could alter them. Like Christ,[2] I would not force other areas to be like ours. Further, diversity would reign, and the families or local authorities would handle almost everything; one property might govern itself vastly differently from the next.
The laws would be very anarcho-monarchist since the moral culture would primarily govern people rather than laws. The vast majority of Christian governance would come from the families, not the government. People would not steal because they would respect others, putting others above themselves. They would not abort their children because they would view them as made in God’s image. They would rarely need lawyers or laws because people would honor their word; instead of months of paperwork and thousands of dollars, a handshake would settle private transactions. Those severely violating the customs could face expulsion or the death penalty.
It would not be a libertarian retreat for someone who does not want their society regulated by the basic tenets of Christianity. Thieves, rapists, and murderers would find this realm more oppressive than a democracy. We would outlaw abortion. No public support (thereby showing acceptance) of it would be allowed. This does not mean everyone must be Christian; or non-Christians would not be welcome, it just means society, laws, customs, and public displays would be Christian. Muslims would lack the same status and freedom because they would not have the same influence on society and laws as Christians. Thus, we also need areas where they can do the same as Christians in my realm, attain self-governance and have a realm guided by the Koran and Hadiths.
My disagreement with libertarians and, in part, the American Founders is their elevation of liberty above God. The founders allowed man’s natural sinful impulses to rule while dismissing the idea of a purposeful Christian nation. They undermined the foundation for liberty by not placing the King of Kings on the nation’s throne, thus ensuring eventual secular tyranny. I do not think everyone should have the liberty to do as they please. There is genuinely right and wrong; a realm should be based on this rather than personal beliefs and opinions. As the Apostle Paul said in Romans 3:4, “let God be true and every man a liar.”
No men, corporations, or businesses could become so powerful as to manipulate or control others. Preferably no one would be working for another as an hourly slave-wager (besides apprentices who could use other means of payment.) It would be a distributist society where the land and resources are initially distributed evenly to each member. Foresters might prefer the wooded land and utilize those resources; fishermen want access to a lake or river, farmers to open grazing land, and so on. None could consume another’s property, land, or resources, and no one could “buy out” another. They would all be responsible for their lands and developing their own plots of land and could not attain more; if the land is abandoned, a new owner (or a descendant of another plot of land perhaps) who wishes to join the realm applies for it, or perhaps, it could be shared land so long as every individual approved of its new purpose.
Everyone would have the resources available to provide for themselves and live completely self-sufficient, not needing welfare or money from working for another. This does not exclude hiring tradespeople, bartering, and so forth, or some form of a money economy (no paper money or at least all money must be backed by something like gold), but generally everyone can provide for themselves. Being completely self-sufficient is available to all.
A natural aristocracy would develop and some would become “better off” due to hard work, intelligence differences, chance etc., but it would be more of a cultural and religious aristocracy. In my society, there would be no government-controlled welfare; people would be free to work less and enjoy leisure, scrape by for a living, or work hard and garner more material things. But no coercive measures would force one to pay for another and cause division or dependence. If someone does fall into poverty or near starvation, they receive no help from the government. However, churches, families, and neighbors can judge the situation and help if they choose to do so. The hope is that charity would blossom, good deeds would proliferate, and love and a sense of community would flourish as people willingly helped their neighbor. Instead of anger, love would be cultivated. With people now freed from regulations and taxation, their money will not be filtered through the greedy hands of bureaucrats, politicians, and corporations. Thus, they could better afford charity for one another.
Moving beyond my preferred realm and at the head of this national system (my realm is just one tiny village or county) is a hereditary king, one born to the position, not one who would seek it. He received no extra power or money for any action he took, and the nobility could give no favors to any section of the country. He only rules within his own realm, which is the standard size of the thousands of mini kingdoms across the nation. He might be a true monarch within his realm or not, depending on the people’s desires, but his only real job at the national level would be to ensure one realm does not invade another and to protect/help fight off invasion. But even here, he would not be in command of all the armies across the country but only of his own little realm. The king would have his autonomous realm from which he derived his funds and soldiers. The king’s only policy with foreign nations would be to ensure free trade (though individual realms could impose tariffs within their spheres). No taxation across the nation would ever be imposed or could be; the king’s realm must be self-sufficient by taxation within his realm.
We would remove or sell all our military bases, foreign territory, military personnel, foreign aid etc., and bring them back home. We would avoid war at all costs and seek friendship with other nations. We would not go to war unless invaded on our own territory. We would not subjugate any nation we did go to war with, even after victory. At best, we would seek compensation for losses and put another foreign nation/ally in charge or, more desirable, the nation itself back in command. While we would desire to be friendly with all nations, we would avoid alliances forcing us into another war. At all costs, we would attempt to live peacefully.
Some realms within the country might have conscription, but nationally there would be none. It would be the king’s duty to muster men in his realm and lead them into war. He calls on the realms (as do the local lords, presidents, governors etc. of the other realms) for help. But it is up to each autonomous area to decide if they will send help. If they do not deem the invasion a threat or think the war unjust, they are under no obligation to help. It may be if we come under invasion, 50% of the realms conscript and send all the aid they can, 25% ignore the call for aid, and 25% send only willing volunteers and donations.
What about civil wars? If one autonomous area cannot subjugate another by voting, what is to prevent them from doing so by military invasion? This is where the only aspect of domestic centralization occurs. In my “national” system, the king’s realm and every autonomous area would have a force (if they chose), and the leaders of each realm would take an oath upon coming to their position never to invade another territory and to help defend other realms from invasion – if it was not contrary to their own local laws and ideals. So if one area invaded another, it would be the oath-bound duty of every one of the perhaps tens of thousands of realms to send help and fight off the invader. Further, the hope is due to the removal of politics; each section would have no reason to hate another and would also see strength in unity. By fighting for another realm, they are really protecting themselves because they are defending their right to be self-governed; if they were invaded, they would also want help. Hopefully, the blessing of attaining actual self-governance would be a motivator to comply. I imagine extensive volunteers coming forth, a few small but well-trained armies able to assist. Even if only 10% of realms responded, any attempted invader would be drastically outnumbered. It does not make expansion an enticing option.
To begin with, each realm would have agreed not to invade or impose on another, with a chance of losing their self-governance for a repeat offense. The care of their realm would go to the people they attempted to invade, perhaps permanently. But this “new” realm would be autonomous from the realm being invaded, to avoid building up power blocs.
One odd objection to restitution monarchy I have come across is some believe plagues and diseases would return as if they are connected to monarchy. Democracies and republics in the Middle Ages or ancient world did not magically invent modern technology and medicines, and modern monarchies do not outlaw hospitals and ensure poor sanitation practices. Further, the Black Death came in the later Middle Ages as we adopted Roman, republican and parliamentary systems. In America, under my system, (I would assume) most realms would be republics or democracies, so fear no plagues!!! Just as I do not desire to implement everything about medieval society, neither do I wish to remove everything about modern society; we can keep the good about both and trash the rest.
My thinking might seem outdated, but I am, in fact, far more progressive than progressives are. They seek only to change the existing structure into the old 19th-century tired white man’s ideas of socialism and communism. They slowly implement their plan over time. They are reactionary, as they want to bring America back in time to a more tame version of the totalitarian states of the previous century. I am revolutionary in seeking to “evolve” and “progress” past the hate- and division-causing politics. I wish to abolish the great evil of our time, the beast primarily arising from the Renaissance to the French Revolution. I want to abolish man’s idea he is above other men and God’s law—something we have struggled with since Genesis 3. I want to move us to a future devoid of our current evils and political structures. I am the opposite of a conservative; I wish to conserve nothing of what is evil; our entire system has become corrupt. I want to abolish democracy and legislative governments as the abolitionists in America were “progressive” in abolishing the evil of their day, slavery. Could my scenario possibly be implemented today? One thing we know by now is modern states do not relinquish power. They seek only to increase it. The only way my idea could happen would be to get a town or county to secede and begin their own realm. I do not pretend to think this could happen without the government unleashing its hammer on any serfs attempting to escape its hold – but just as almost everyone knows it would be taken as a dangerous, severely punishable offense, it also serves well to reveal the depths of our servitude to our modern governments; and it is all the more reason to try.

I guess I could just copy-paste the last thing I wrote about this exactly two months ago, because the analysis remains unchanged – except we are now beyond the crocodile tear “we all deplore (unsuccessful) violence” stage, and onto snide gloating that they really only have to be right once to rid the world of Orange Hitler.
Bro that’s crazy, his son clarifies – “I mean yeah good for him on killing trump or whatever I just didn’t think he’d go for it.” Pause for a quick hit on the weed vape.
Ryan Routh’s Ukrainian connections, where he at least purported to be raising funds and volunteers (including smuggling abandoned ex-Afghan National Army soldiers to be Ukrainian mercenaries), appeared in Azov propaganda videos, and met with the defense ministry, are too obvious to ignore. Given the massive support the US intelligence services have provided via the same mechanisms, it would be absurd to claim they didn’t also have him “on their radar”.
One would think that if he were shepherded into this, and the attempt was meant to succeed, a sponsor would be able to provide him with something more suitable that the janky bubba’d SKS he ended up using (although it is an open question how exactly he knew where Trump would be – his golfing appearance was not public, although it may have been inferable from other public information. Although on the other hand, that would suggest a level of competency belied by his choice of equipment). But I do not think that this was “meant to succeed”, in the sense of a realistic plot where real resources were put into making it effective. His demeanor in public media appears at least slightly delusional, and the Joker hair coloring doesn’t help – this is not Jason Bourne lobbing 338’s over the horizon.
Instead, this is precisely the kind of swinging-at-the-pinata I described in the previous article. It may be that the Ukrainians have decided they are default screwed and might as well roll the dice on sponsoring some loons to prevent a Trump presidency. They are already somewhat notorious for placing critics on requested freelance kill lists. It may be that someone in the broader DHS or Secret Service infrastructure (or FAA, which has responsibility for clearing the airspace when Trump is present, or a local cop, or etc.) tipped him off not as part of a concrete plot, but as a “might as well” wall-spaghetti effort. It could be this man was just convinced by the libtard zeitgeist to Do Something because, per the Kamala campaign slogan he regurgitated, Democracy Is On the Ballot.
The fact is that the present power structure is set up to encourage these attacks until one succeeds. This makes at least number six or so since 2016 – the teen who grabbed a security officer’s gun (sentenced to just a year and a day, btw), the stage-rush in the airport hanger, the cancelled Chicago rally, the Summer of Floyd attack on the White House, his wounding in July, and now this. It’s clear the ambient level of violence is not going down until it is made to go down.
So, pray that Trump succeeds and has the vision to properly assert control over the situation, or at least put competent hatchet men in charge. As loyal as his supporters are, logistically they cannot form a human shield, and tactically Trump must continue campaigning. He relies on real people voting, so he cannot replicate the Biden basement strategy. He and we are, fittingly, like conscripts on either side of the Kursk pocket – every day is just another gamble.

Historically speaking, the purpose of voting was largely to provide some form of “revolutionary” capacity to change the leadership of a people without violence. The higher powers might not allow the decision (i.e., fix an election) or may offer false choices, but the goal was to ameliorate the passions of the citizenry. In effect, every two, four, or six years, the American republic provided a vote that at least made the people believe things might change without the need for guns. Occasionally, minor changes seemed great to a populace used to nominal differences in a continual slide toward globalism.
Now comes Trump – yet again. This short article is not about Trump, per se. Rather, it is about the continual belief in voting as a form of implementing change. More importantly, it is about the moment in which that belief no longer exists. Trump may or may not “win” in November, but his victory would likely be empty because of the design of the system itself (assuming a billionaire New Yorker is not in on it).
There are a great many Baby Boomers who believe in voting and Trump because they have been conditioned for generations to believe voting works. It also helps (them) that politics have been dominated almost exclusively by Boomer candidates for about 40 years. GenXers – statistically the most hard right generation – seem to be increasingly more disillusioned with voting. Millennials – statistically the most far left demographic – seem to have a more activist mindset toward voting. GenZers – the most deeply divided demographic – seem to have given up on the exercise entirely (not unlike GenX).
Cumulatively, it is clear that voting – a process dominated by one generation for almost half a century – is losing its grasp on future generations. That is dangerous for ruling elites. If the people feel they have no voice or method to air grievances, the alternative has historically been violence. The ruling class understands this.
Correspondingly, it is not an accident that total societal change has been inspired to emasculate the populace. Younger men not only have lower testosterone levels year over year (I personally believe due to some form of chemical introduction), but masculinity itself is under constant attack. Transgenderism is simply a byproduct of the war on men. Notice that the females harmed by the transgender movement are athletic women who would be inclined to gravitate toward athletic men, creating genetically athletic offspring. The totality of the movement to emasculate – from girl power narratives to deconstructing masculine social structures to promoting effeminate males (e.g., “Big Bang Theory” television show) to transgender therapies for boys in schools – is part of a defensive posture to guard against the consequences of an eventual collapse of voting.
When voting fails, populations rise violently. It is helpful to have a nation of emasculated men if you want to remain a tyrant. After all, it is hard to shoot at the ruling class with your legs crossed, sipping on a Pumpkin Spiced Latte, and wearing a dress.

We live in a place where everything is premised on lies. Literally everything, right down to why we have bad weather. This makes information management a challenge for the power structure that’s presiding over the ongoing implosion that nobody is supposed to notice. To be fair, there’s no good way to successfully explain to everyone that something isn’t happening right before their very eyes.
There’s a certain percentage of white people this will actually work on, because they have a need to feel intelligent, moral, and sophisticated. They will thus internalize as truth what is marketed to them as what the intelligent, moral, and sophisticated white people understand. This will also be held in contrast to what the proles believe, whom they hold in contempt. If you require a frightening proof of concept on just how far these pretentious creatures are willing to go, look no further than the COVID injections.
Its therefore quite easy to convince them that Haiti is actually a nice place and any troubles it might be experiencing are the result of misfortunes imposed on Haitians. These same white people would believe that the crime and dysfunction in the black neighborhood they avoid is a result of socioeconomic factors.
None of this is a function of IQ. Thus, a white person with a rather low IQ but no pretensions is capable of understanding that the problems in that black neighborhood are the result of black people, which is why all black areas have the same problems, and realizes that if these same black people were stuck on an island and left largely to themselves, Haiti is what happens. None of those problems have anything to do with the gold Haiti paid to France two centuries ago, either.
Here is a short compilation I put together of car accidents caused by Haitian drivers in Springfield, Ohio.

There are also the white people with a higher IQ who notice obvious things and are capable of considering these things systemically. Many of us now realize that bringing Haiti to America is part of a set of actions being taken against our existence. In the very least, we all recognize that importing Haitians will cause serious problems of which we will never rid ourselves, just like the black people we already have. This is why we’re labeled the preeminent threat to America’s national security.
In other words, these two latter categories of white people can’t be fooled by manipulating their pretensions. This often causes the pretentious white people I first described to lose their minds in anger. This was a big component of Trump Derangement Syndrome back in 2016, pretentious white people working themselves into a fury at the proles for not being able to perceive the correct things about Donald Trump.
We can currently observe this phenomenon at work with the subject of Haitians. The principal issue with the Haitians is that when you flood people incapable of functioning in what’s left of our civilization into a particular municipality, this location is going to experience skyrocketing problems. This process is as sure as gravity. Just because Haiti isn’t literally a hole filled with shit like Donald Trump said back in 2018 doesn’t make Haitians compatible with America.
To these proper white people however, problematic Haitians are a debunked conspiracy theory. So, all of the media is going on nonstop with condescension about how it’s a debunked conspiracy theory that Haitians are causing problems in Ohio because Donald Trump repeated a baseless rumor that they were eating people’s pets.
Just like they’ve been doing since 2016, the pretentious keep repeating this line with exasperation thinking it should finally work on the proles, yet it doesn’t which clearly upsets them. The only thing the constant condescension achieves is to rile up the proles about the issue, which exasperates the pretentious even more. This part is hilarious because it’s as if they never learn and must keep themselves on the hamster wheel instead. These creatures deserve to suffer, and I think it’s funny.

Deriding something that is actually happening as a debunked conspiracy theory is the standard initial information management tool of our power structure. Like I said, to be fair there’s no good way to deny something that’s obviously true. Still, one would think they’d be more creative than repeating the same tactic that never works over and over again. To be honest, I can’t come up with a better tactic for them to attempt.
The sad part is that there are a series of other tools that get applied to these situations which aren’t known to the public. For example, a federal task force descends on the victims and public officials when atrocities are committed by migrants in a particular municipality. I’m not sure exactly what gets said to them, but it’s reasonable to expect that a set of incentives and consequences are implied. I’d imagine the incentives are for the politicians and officials while the consequences are for the victims.

At least he didn’t talk about the great food like Mollie Tibbits’ father. This man’s comments on his murdered son are both incredible and disturbing but they should be understood in this context. From what I’ve heard, he received a visit from the Feds. Whenever there’s a situation like a city in Ohio with 58,000 residents suddenly receiving around 20,000 Haitians, in the background are various federal agencies and NGOs facilitating and managing the operation. This also applies to the information space.
They’re also at work when it comes to potential jobs and government services. This is how Haitians can be depicted as doing jobs the local residents are too lazy to consider. In reality, the local residents don’t even know about these jobs because an NGO gets ahead of them in connecting the migrants with employment. At a macro level, this is how most of the job growth in America goes to immigrants. The same thing goes for housing and other benefits.

The Haitians can’t wreck Ohio on their own. Under that scenario, at best they might be able to drift over to Florida where in a sane America they’d be detained for deportation. Behind the scenes, there’s an enormous, coordinated effort to get them to Ohio and then ensconce them in the community just as there is to feed them in Haiti so they can reproduce and come to America. They can’t do that on their own, either.
Indeed, the biggest lie that Americans are expected to believe about these situations is that they happen spontaneously as if a need arose in the economy or something which somehow attracted a bunch of migrants to a particular municipality. I suppose the upside is that there’s no way to keep a lid on migration of this proportion to a particular place. What we’re seeing in Ohio happens in Europe and the governments over there can’t erase the outrage.
Of course, outrage doesn’t get Western governments to change their course of action on migration so expect this to keep happening and prepare to be living in a Third World country. I’ve been to a bunch, and lemme tell ya, it’ll be quite the adjustment for the average American.

I spent this past year doing lots of business in the Philippines, often in large cities I would advise anyone to avoid if they intend to visit for tourism purposes. It’s an interesting place with a lot of opportunities, but it’s fraught with serious problems as well. Poverty, security, and infrastructure come to mind immediately. None of these things can be addressed through conflict with China.
It’s also comprised of thousands of islands, so the last thing this country needs is to be used by Uncle Sam as a proxy against China with the pretext being some other islands of no existential importance to Filipinos. It’s true that the Spratly Islands are rather far from the Chinese mainland, but they’ve considered it their territory for centuries and this is of no concern to Americans. A number of countries have islands that are closer to other countries than their own.
The reason China has been building fortifications is that it doesn’t want the United States to have its proxies occupy the islands and fortify them. The American Empire has proven to be extremely aggressive in what it will get its proxies to do against targeted nations. One only has to look at the situation Russia now has on its hands to realize that China’s fears are not unfounded.
Without the backing and encouragement of the Uncle Sam, the Filipinos wouldn’t be getting into kinetic confrontations with the Chinese over these islands. This should be pretty obvious since they don’t have the wherewithal to take on China by themselves and also stand to gain a great deal through cooperation with China.
In my experience, the average Chinese person has a much better grasp than the average American of what’s going on with America both in terms of its actions on the global stage and who’s in charge around here. The Chinese were rightfully quite alarmed at both the scale of what Uncle Sam has done in Ukraine but also the idiotic recklessness of it. They all understand that if Russia succumbed, they’d be next.
From a rational perspective, there’s no reason to have a war over the Taiwan issue. However, there’s nothing rational about the Jews who control America and in China there’s an understanding that the Jews control America. So, the same conclusion could’ve been reached by a rational individual about the situation in Ukraine but then look what happened. China is run by Chinese, and they’re allowed to say obvious facts even if a leader like Xi wouldn’t state such an unpolite truth in public.
The Chinese strategy since the Korean War has always been to avoid a direct confrontation with Uncle Sam just like the Russians. They don’t need conflict to achieve their long-term goals just like the Russians were satisfied with negotiating an arrangement to keep Ukraine as a single country even after Uncle Sam overthrew the government in order to install a hostile entity.
Russia has gone through incredible lengths to avoid a direct conflict with Uncle Sam to the point where it’s tolerated an invasion of Kursk conducted with Uncle Sam’s full backing. One of the main criticisms of Putin is that the whole reason this incredible act of provocation took place is that he wasn’t willing to strike back directly at the American Empire despite everything which has been done to Russia since 2014. All that he receives in return is the understanding that Uncle Sam can do anything to Russia.
If the United States is killing Russian personnel on Russian land with American weapons, Putin has all the justification he needs to retaliate in a way that might put the aggression to an end. The war stops tomorrow without American support. Instead, what happens is an escalating set of provocations. There’s a clear logic to Putin’s critics and so the Chinese have to be calculating how much they’re going to put up with before they act because not acting won’t stop the aggression.
American military personnel are all over Taiwan these days, but mostly out of uniform. I’ve seen all of this stuff up close. Does China calculate that it has to act to preempt the United States from creating an arrangement with Taiwan in the style of NATO and stationing personnel permanently on the island? Again, if such actions seem too reckless for the Chinese to consider, look what happened in Ukraine. Taiwanese leaders go to the AIT fortress in Taipei to take orders, so whatever happens is actually up to these Jews in DC who gave the Kursk invasion a go-ahead.
I’ve written articles for this publication in the past about why a war over Taiwan doesn’t make any sense for China. However, it starts making some sense when one considers just how deeply irrational the Jews in charge of America have become. Why did they approve an invasion of Russia as the Houthis are defeating the U.S. Navy and Iran could flatten Israel at any time? When the mask comes off, one realizes there doesn’t seem to be a rational limit to their conduct even as the temple starts to come down on their own heads.
What sense does it make to open up a third global front with no chance of success as the first two are proving to be catastrophic? Why are they doing such a stupid thing? While these are pertinent questions, the salient fact is that they keep doing these stupid things. Thus, the Chinese can’t rely on patience and restraint to see them through this bout of Jewish madness.
The Russians have put up with being humiliated and look where that’s getting them. Likewise, this has been the Chinese strategy over Taiwan. In return for tolerating all of the provocations over Taiwan, what China receives is the United States trying to push further against them in the South China Sea, returning its military presence to the Philippines and doing its best to thwart Chinese investments in the country.
I genuinely hope there’s no direct conflict because that could lead to domestic catastrophe. However, I will acknowledge that the Russian and Chinese strategy of dealing with aggression by showing restraint is essentially a failure at stopping a set of escalating provocations towards direct conflict. As these provocations continue to escalate, the chances of confrontation increase as they realize that some blow has to be landed against the U.S. military to put this to an end.
The Jews in DC have clearly already wagered that the Russians and Chinese don’t have the balls to risk World War 3 by retaliating but what if they’re becoming reconciled to the inevitability and decide Uncle Sam doesn’t have the balls, either? We’ll see because we’re not going to stop pushing them towards the edge.
The post The Invisible Limits of Pushing appeared first on Identity Dixie.
It has been a while since I have posted anything. I have had quite a good bit going on this year, so I may as well take advantage of some free time and tell y’all some of my thoughts on things I have been pondering lately. It is pretty wild having the opportunity to be born during one of those horrendously dark and macabre periods of history when a massive empire in total freefall is tripping over itself to become exponentially worse with each passing day. Plenty of excellent essays exist on this pathetic excuse for a country’s decay, so I will instead talk about horrible things I see daily.
Why are names so awful and cringeworthy now? I honestly do not believe middle-class White women and suburbanites can give their children actual names anymore. No, Braylin, Brysten, Tayley, Kinsley, Noli, Nova, Kaibryanna, and other suburbanite nonsense are NOT real names. People are so disconnected from the past and their heritage that they have to make up obnoxious words to give to their kids as names. Your children should have names that they can be proud of and have actual meanings.
Wew boy, this makes me sound like an old codger. Young’uns have no manners anymore. There is not much to say about this one. Parents, especially White parents, spoil their kids too much. In fact, our youth are literal shells of what constitutes a human being. It is existentially worrisome and even a bit uncanny. This is very much a result of the spoiling, social media, degeneracy, depravity, and lack of character developing experiences. They have no unique personalities of their own and only seek to drink and live vicariously through TikTok. None of their mannerisms or speech patterns are organic in nature but come entirely from that godforsaken app. The way they speak is annoying; especially the girls. Somehow, they always seem to get decent jobs despite having no work experience or marketable traits. Lot of them end up in managerial positions and never seem to work any meaningful job. Weird. These traits define this generation of American women. I have gone into more detail about their behavior in other articles, but it cannot be overstated that they engage in levels of depravity that would make a Mötley Crüe roadie blush. This is resulting in them being viewed very negatively by young men, and as can be seen among many of them in their mid-to-late-twenties, they are ending up miserable, alone, and physically very unhealthy. The evidence is out in the open and not simply a Manosphere topic anymore. TikTok and bad parents have done a number on our youth.
There is no feasible way in any reality or dimension in which Gen Z and the generation after them will be able to sustain American civilization. On top of being a bunch of dullards with no social skills to speak of, these people are woefully incompetent. They are also listless and lackadaisical people with a horrendous work ethic. Considering how intensely America persecutes Caucasian men, the laughable job market, shrinking prospects for a future, the collapse of dating, and no incentives for young men to work hard to sustain anything, I am hard pressed to believe America is going to survive another 30 years; these immigrants are too inbred and mentally stunted to keep this going.
I could go on and on into detail about my thoughts on the Squatemalans and Pajeets flooding into and taking over everything, but I will keep my thoughts on them brief. In fact, I am only going to talk about the Squats. We were bombarded for eons with propaganda purporting that these Hispanics were the hardest workers in North America. “They’re doing the jobs Americans won’t do.” Not sure about y’all but when I pass by a Squat dominated job site, I see far too many of them, for whatever the task is, and half of them are standing around not doing anything. It takes 30 of them to do the job that would normally take 10 local men, and the product is often mediocre at best. Do not even get me started on the retail experience when these people need to buy something. For the sake of brevity, I will cut it off there.
“Oh, but they’re such beautiful people.” M’kay. This is something which has become the common vernacular of the White female hive mind the last few years regarding mulattoes. It is a laughably false statement. Furthermore, they are genetically unhealthy people. This is simply the next phase of the propaganda. It went from sexual liberation, to not telling people what they can and cannot do, to a sexual fetish, and now a full blown eugenics argument in a very short amount of time. This sort of stuff is why I am so critical of White women; they are the arbiters and social enforcers of introducing diversity and White genocide into White communities and organizations. Men are too weak to ever tell them no or call them out on it, especially their fathers.
One thing I have noticed very few people address when discussing America’s downfall and the death of empires is the degradation and bastardization of the language. I was discussing this with a family member the other day who also happens to appreciate history as a hobby. He made note that, based on his readings, language and vocabulary rapidly decline in a period of downfall. Most people lack a developed vocabulary now. I am sure all of you readers have noticed how increasingly difficult it is to speak to some people because they do not understand half of the words you use in regular, normie conversation. Furthermore, I would wager a guess that the average American probably knows somewhere between 100 and 150 words. In fact, I have a drinking game for you. Take a shot every time you hear the words “like,” “f**k,” “literally,” “just,” or “I feel.” How long can you make it during your day before the alcohol poison sets in?
I hate developers and development companies. This is a sentiment I have noticed even normies share recently. Aside from the fact that they make everything ugly and spread McMansion suburbs across the landscape like a malignant, late-stage cancer, they are buying up all of the land in the most discreet of ways. I know an elderly couple who received and offer in the mail from a Texas development company for some rural land they own. How could that company have possibly known about the couple’s land? Furthermore, these sorts of shady offers have skyrocketed in my area recently. It is impossible to make an offer on someone’s assets if they never go up for sale to begin with; the same thing is happening with local Boomer businesses being bought up by Pajeets. These companies are circumventing the competition. Being that this is a national epidemic everywhere, young couples are finding it increasingly difficult to purchase affordable houses. Even better, this constant state of development projects keeps the absurd amount of Squats occupied, well in my area at least. It would not surprise me if some sort of political movement catalyzes in the future to combat these developers in the near future. The unfathomable amount of damage they have done to the futures of the young has not gone unnoticed. All of this is on top of the fact that we live in a financial system which necessitates that we stay in a perpetual, unremitting seller’s market; at no point is the buyer to ever have an advantage.
I know all of this is simply preaching to the choir, but I believe it is important to point out the obvious things. Politics and history are interesting, but everyday experience should not be neglected. Also, I know this stuff comes off as black pilling; however, some positives can be gleaned from this. By far the foremost of the white pills, there is no way America will survive another 30 years.
The post Some More Ramblings and Whatnot appeared first on Identity Dixie.
There was an article on Lew Rockwell this morning that I agree in part with but not wholly. If I read it correctly, it said that problems with the public schools began with the advent of sex education in schools. I have to admit that sex education in public schools was a major problem. In a normal world such a subject wouldn’t belong in public schools, but the world we live in has not been normal for a long time.
Try to look at it this way. In a normal, free country, you would not have a government education system that compelled attendance. That’s what the public schools do for 180 days each year. If you don’t “educate” your kids somewhere for that number of days per year, you have problems. You may, at this point, be able to teach them at home or in a private school, but it has not always been so. Over the years some kids in some states have been removed from their homes for being homeschooled.
Over the years there were those that went to court to protect the rights of private schoolers and they won some important victories. But always remember this–what the government can giveth, the government can also taketh away. Today’s victory can be tomorrow’s defeat if you don’t constantly keep your eyes open. In a truly free country we would not have to worry about that.
We’ve had public (really government) schools in this country since the 1830s in the North. The Southerners had more sense than to force this on their states until they were forced to in the “reconstruction” after the War of Northern Aggression. In our day, however, the South has embraced public schools in a most alarming fashion. More’s the pity!
It seems as if the South is suddenly in a huge hurry to dispense with its heritage and history, because that’s what the public schools are doing–dispensing with the South’s history and heritage. It may take some awhile to figure this out. but that’s where all this anti-South propaganda is going. Your history will be rewritten by those in the teacher’s unions that seek to make Marxist revolutionaries out of your kids. Some teachers have actually said said as much!
You have only one solution to this situation. That is to take your kids and secede (withdraw) from the public schools–and stay out! The public schools have been headed in this direction since the 1830s and they are not about to change now. They will not be reformed and can only be separated from. For the sake of your kids’ souls, this is what you need to do.

The post A premise I agree partially with appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Every four years, Americans undergo the formality of a presidential election. Eight years ago, we witnessed the wild 2016 Sanders/Trump campaigns, BLM/antifa rioting and Trump’s razor thin win. Four years ago, we endured covid lockdowns, Summer of Floyd riots and the most secure election in history. This election season has not disappointed. An incredibly early presidential debate revealed for even the most naïve that Biden is a dementia addled puppet. The media and Democrat operatives engaged in a mass pressure campaign to get Biden to step aside. There was the near assassination of the leading contender for the presidency. Shortly thereafter, the sitting president decided to end his campaign via a Twitter posting of an image of a signed letter. The president remains in office, and the Vice President was elevated to the top of the ticket. A media blitz rolled out to promote this new, exciting candidate. It is unusual, but points to the general mood of the election. Do you comply or not?
Biden’s behavior was already inconsistent in 2019, as many Sanders supporters (much to their dismay the last couple of years) were eager to point out his mental infirmity. As his term progressed, Biden’s lost, feeble antics added up on media with nearly every appearance. This was relegated to right wing media, which means it is not real and not acceptable to discuss. The debate laid bare the truth. As ever the case in modern America, it was suddenly okay for media to notice this, and now America could discuss it. The media defines what is allowed for proper discussion. After weeks of pressure, Biden ended his campaign but continued duties as president. This is a nonsense position as if he cannot run for president, how can he be president? The line is that it is for six months, not four years and six months. Sure, sure, but he could just continue in his duties and if he died in 2025, Kamala Harris in her designated duty would take the reins as Truman did in 1945 not even six months after the election of 1944. These rationalizations are ad hoc and made up in short order but blasted nonstop as the beliefs of good, smart people. Do you comply?
Just prior to the Biden resignation Twitter posting, we saw a gunman take several shots at Donald trump live on CNN. He grazed Trump’s ear due to sheer luck of Trump turning his head ever so slightly at the exact right second. It was a miracle on live television. Trump’s amazing reaction was inspiring. As more information trickles out, we are told a lone gunman managed to get in an elevated spot with a clear view of his target within 150 yards of the target, who had Secret Service protection. Said protection for the first time this campaign season included countersnipers. Now the protection team did not use a drone for overhead coverage, did not use local radio comms to coordinate with local police, and no one stopped and questioned the young man that multiple citizens alerted police to as climbing on the roof. Team members were located within the building but not on the building. The sniper brought a gun and had a rangefinder as he walked around for hours before the event. He was spotted and photographed, but no one stopped him to just ask questions. The countersniper team was instructed not to take a shot before shots were fired. Trump was allowed to go onstage despite the protection detail knowing there was a person of interest missing in the area for ten minutes. This would-be assassin was also the only twenty year old in America who had zero social media, except for (allegedly) a Gab account. The crime scene was washed same day, the first responders were not held for full statements, and the FBI released the body which was cremated. Just a lone gunman who had a plan. Mistakes were made in protecting Trump, and in processing the scene, but whattayagonnado? That’s the story good, smart people believe. Do you comply?
Vice President Harris quickly consolidated the support for the nominee despite other Democrat power players wanting an open mini-primary in the lead up to the convention. A suggestion was a reality show type multi-week televised process. Whomever forced Biden to end his campaign also got him to endorse Harris. The media hit with a wall to wall Harris is cool, hip and BRAT. No one likes her. Rep. AOC even did an Instagram reel saying prior to Biden resigning that he was the nominee and no one liked Harris. That is all forgotten. As is hiding her whenever Biden’s team assigned her to something and she bombed. As is her failure in 2019 despite having a moment as the Democrat frontrunner. Harris has solutions to our problems… that somehow cannot be tried now while she is nominally in position to guide Biden to do something. We will see change! This is what cool, good and smart people believe. Do you comply?
This is the entire election theme. Do you comply with the trajectory that America is on? The Democrats have their base, client groups and many patronage networks in place, but to the rest of the nation do you comply with the trendlines? Fifteen million illegal immigrants in less than four years entered America. You are being replaced. Inflation was due to come with the covid aid package, but this was accelerated by the Inflation Reduction Act. You are being impoverished. America’s foreign policy expert class is fighting one proxy war with a nonzero threat to escalate to a world or nuclear war, and doing a weird dance with another war that threatens to escalate to a regional war. You or your children may be drafted to fight an unnecessary war. The solutions proposed to all of these problems are just to throw more money at them and continue the current course of action. The government-media ecosystem has turned, with both the Biden term and a potential Harris term, the presidency into a ceremonial role as the unaccountable, unelected operators in bureaucracies run the nation and make decisions. Some are fine with that. Some accept that the untouchable class of bureaucrats run the show regardless of what people want. Not all will comply. In November, we will see just how many do.

The post Do You Comply? appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Had another reader question come in the other day. This particular one came in from a younger dissident.
I always enjoy when these types of questions come in, because they force me to break out of my generational molding a bit. Which is always a good thing for us to practice, so we do not become tunnel-visioned about “our times” like many boomers.
The reader asked whether “younger dissidents (younger than 25) should focus on pursuing, as has often been recommended for older dissidents, long-term wealth strategies such as a career, a house, etc., or if it is more worth it to instead prepare for a more immediate collapse that would make these typical measures pointless.”
My initial gut instinct was to focus on the now and just to refer him to my Ways To Contribute series. But as I thought on this one, it quickly became more nuanced. As all good questions do. And I knew it needed to be a fully fleshed article. To help (hopefully) not just him, but others as well.
So, let us begin.
IntroductionThere are certain things that have obvious answers with this question, like retirement planning. I just do not see a situation where a 20-year-old today is going to be able to retire at 60—in 40 years—pain-free like boomers today. Even if the worst case situations don’t happen, there’s no way the US dollar is going to look the same then as it does now. And it is even significantly weakening now. It does not have 40 years to wait.
So should a younger dissident focus on getting the best retirement they can find? Absolutely not.
But other topics are a bit more tricky. And they require a bit of a nuanced take.
I do not generally make a habit out of using clichés. But in this case, it is true:
This would mean, in general, preparing for the more immediate problem, rather than focusing on the pipe dream hope everything remains the same.
Given the economic situation, the demographic situation, the political and moral situation, and so on coupled with modern technology, I think the world looks more uncertain than it ever has.
In such times, traditional long-term goals—such as pursuing higher education, climbing the corporate ladder, and saving for retirement—are less relevant compared to immediate, practical needs.
Instead, focusing on the foundational aspects of life and developing skills suited to a declining civilization should be the primary focus.
Given the above, then for the big-ticket “long-term” life decisions, I’d start with the following:
Just my thoughts. Take them or leave them.
I think with the newer generations that the entire concept of a “traditional life” is changing. The previous methods and possibilities are no longer the same. The American Dream does not exist anymore, so the youth are re-writing what that dream looks like. It’s hard for us non-20s to conceptualize this, but it is happening.
Which means that those that can think outside of that traditional box will be able to maneuver and have more stability long-term.
Look at the van lifers, the off-grid types, and the tiny home people. Many people are throwing the idea of a “house in the suburbs” idea on their head, but still having a great living arrangement. The opportunities for the youth in this new digital age are seemingly endless (until collapse, of course), so use them while you can.
Don’t figure out how to take advantage within the system; break the system completely. That’s always a good skill for youth to utilize.
Oh, and while you are deciding, be a good steward of the resources you do have. Don’t over-focus too much on getting more resources. Just reorganize how you use what you already have. Likewise, be prepared for if those resources diminish.
But at the same time, we don’t know the timeline for the collapse. I would hate to see a young person dump everything into a gamble that they only have a few years, and then we are generally stable for 10.
That is where the “hope for the best” part of the cliché comes in.
But what does that look like?
It means just don’t throw away everything in the pursuit of trying to survive a collapse.
A lot of the more traditional things that we tell young people to do for the long-term are also equally good for the short term.
I know some young guns struggle to see that, however. Which is where the nuance comes in.
To explain this, I think it would be better to just be more practical and upfront. I am going to give five strategies for the younger distant, that both prepare for the worst, but also include hope for the best. So no matter what occurs, you’re covered.
The Five Strategies1. Continually Seek GodMatthew 6:33 instructs us to “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
This verse is not a formula for achieving material wealth or success, but rather a call to prioritize God’s kingdom and righteousness above all else.
In summary: Above everything else you do should be God. This is true regardless of the cost.
This is one thing that young people rarely do. It is also one thing that old people wish they would have done when they were young.
I am one such person. I was against God for a long time. Regretably, I tried to find my own way for a long time. It did not work out great.
I have learned the lesson of that verse firsthand. The more I sought after stability and material wealth through secular means, the less of it I had and the less happy I was.
Once I found God, I stopped seeking after those things. But now I have more stability and financial wealth than I did before. It truly is amazing how it works, but you don’t see it until you let God do it. You have to put in the faith and let him work.
At the end of the day, there’s no amount of prepping that will save you if God wants you to be called home. And there is no security in anyone/anything else besides God, whether short term or long term. This world is fickle, and it could be swooped out from under you like a rug at any point. The only constant source of security is God.
So the first strategy for the young is to never forget that all of our life work cannot do the least of what God can do in his spare time.
But even further, when you seek after God‘s kingdom, there are practical benefits. God‘s goals for you usually involve things we need right now. I’m talking about family, a community of people with like-minded values, virtuous characteristics, emotional resiliency, mental fortitude, and similar things.
The younger dissident will find that by following God everything else will be added to them. Trust the process.
ACTION STEPS:
Sacrifice and serve for others. God does not approve of the older generation “I got mine” attitude or the middle generation “I will survive but everyone else is screwed” mindset. YOU are called to be a light on this earth. Do it.
Find a Wife (and Have Kid(s))Unless you are a Paul without sexual temptation (0.001% of the population, maybe), you should desire a wife. Go get one.
They both level up the man and level him out.
This is usually considered a long-term strategy. But it should not be. There is a woman out there that needs you right now and you need her. Stop wasting time and go find her.
Regardless of what happens in this world, you should lead a family. God wants this for you, and our civilization needs it from you. And even for yourself, it’s also a great thing. Triple benefit.
It’s a no brainer.
If possible, have kids. Do not be a genetic failure. There are far too many genetic failures even now when things are not bad.
Even if you cannot provide the same standard of living that the older generations did, if you trust God, you will be able to provide. At the end of the day, that is what matters.
In a practical sense, if you build your relationship wisely, then your wife is your ultimate support in times of trouble… and in times of peace.
Likewise, your kid(s) are a driving force to keep going and improving and surviving. They provide purpose in times of great evil when there is none.
Civilizational, this is arguably the most essential piece. Europeans will not survive if we don’t do this. We are literally fighting for Western Civilization’s life, and that life requires…Well, life.
As those in the remnant, our children are also the ones most often carrying the torch of our tradition to the next generation.
If everything else burns, but one single of our children remain, we are still viable. God can then still bring back our civilization and our people from the dust. That one person could be your kid, so why are you waiting?
ACTION STEPS:
Have babies (after enjoying your marriage for a bit)
Build Character (Especially Fortitude)No matter how bad the world gets, God judges you based on the best possible version of yourself. He does not judge you based on the surrounding world or others.
Neglecting virtue only hurts yourself in the long term.
Character is essential no matter what you do in life. It also matters no matter what happens in life.
I’m not talking about some dopey “be nicer” character improvement. I am talking about things that matter given the world to come.
We all need fortitude, resiliency, strength, determination, and a focused mind. But these are not in us since birth.
They are trained traits they can be improved, and they can be made worse. You improve them by using them often.
It is an experience thing. That is one thing that young people often lack: Experience. So spending time specifically seeking it is a good idea.
Practically, this also satisfies James 2 of the Bible. You need good works to be justified in the eyes of man. We all know people who have a good character and we would trust if things go bad. Likewise, we all know a person or two who has shady character, that we would not want anywhere near us if things go bad. You want to become the former.
This will help you with the community aspect if things go bad quickly. But it will also help you if the world maintains for 10 or 20 years, because you will become a reliable, trustworthy character that other people rely on.
ACTION STEPS:
Do the hard work and make the hard choices when option arises.
Develop Practical SkillsOn top of character skills, it is useful for a younger dissident to build some practical skills that us older folk often overlook.
I know so many younger guys that don’t know how to drive stick shift for instance. I’m not talking trash, it’s just not a super useful skill anymore that is taught. Most vehicles are automatic now and not many old folk teach it to the young. They barely were teaching it during my time, even.
But knowledge of stick shift is still a good skill to have. Essential for certain driving, construction, and similar careers. But also just to be able to drive any car you find no matter the transmission, in the case of an emergency.
That is just one skill. There are plenty of others in this category. Things like knowing emergency preparedness is useful no matter what happens. Sometime in your life, there will be an emergency. Knowing what to do from both a medical and survival standpoint is crucial.
Economic adaptability skills are also good to have. If you lose your job or source of income, do you have other skills that can get you the resources that you need? If not, develop them.
I know a guy that gets laid off often in his normal job in construction, so he has a teaching degree on the side. It gives him a lot of flexibility. When he doesn’t have his regular employment, he can teach, he can tutor, and he can even work in places like daycares and such. This kind of adaptability is great to have. It also is good just to let you explore career options.
Further, self-sufficiency skills are things I would be focusing on if I were younger. Your basics like gardening, hunting, do-it-yourself building, repair and fixing skills, and similar things. Whatever skills you would need to live if you did not have anybody to help. The goal is to not be in that situation, but we must prepare for the worst if you are in that situation.
Also, in this category, I would focus on practical financial strategies rather than speculative investments. If you have spare money (not many young do, so don’t feel bad if you don’t), put it toward practical things. I have an article on this here: Global Supply Chain Collapse: The Solution (Tangible Consumption Assets).
Obviously, stay out of debt wherever feasible. Debt is the banker’s tool to control you.
ACTION STEPS:
Read my Ways To Contribute series. Decide which person you want to be and start working toward it.
Find CommunityEngaging with your community helps create a network of mutual aid and collaboration, which can be particularly valuable in times of crisis. The prepper dudes alone in the woods are going to get steamrolled by young guns with friends like yourself, no matter how much they like to fantasize otherwise.
Your community at this age should start to become varied. You are not in high school anymore. It is time to start getting a community of all ages.
Go hang out with your friends and find new friends. But get involved with your city or county things that have older folk. Get involved in your church that should have various ages if it is a healthy church. Meet some middle-aged people at local community events. Become as varied as you possibly can. Each person in different life stages can be of tremendous support to you in different ways. Do not silo yourself with only one age group.
I have written on this one extensively elsewhere, so I will just link some examples:
Follow those and you’ll be off to a good start.
ACTION STEPS:
OutroIt is clearly my personal opinion to focus on the short-term right now over the long-term for the young gun. It is sad for me to admit, but I do not see the young having the option for retirement or a stable enough future to seek traditional life goals.
I also do not see money, personal prestige, job titles, or college degrees mattering a hell of a lot in ten years.
However, I could be wrong. So please pray on this and do as you are lead, not as I say.
Nonetheless, I did not make this list in complete isolation. I did it with a dual-mind in focus. These five strategies should help you no matter what happens in the coming days. If the collapse happens, they will be essential benefits to you. If you have more time than I think, they will only still benefit you, but long-term. Then, when that collapse time does eventually come, they will still be beneficial to you.
And as a sidenote: Even if I am wrong, God is right. If you do #1, then no matter what you do for #2-#99, He will make it work out. That is why #1 is #1 and why it is so important.
My final piece of advice to all the younger blood: Learn from us what you can, but make sure you learn from your own generation as well. We do not know you as intimately as you know yourself. Each generation has their own battle scars that other generations cannot comprehend. Every generation thinks that their elders were in error, and the young are stupid. It is just what generations do, because people struggle to see that each generation has their own thing, no cap.
Learn from us, but learn from your own, as well.
And just know that even if we tease one another, we do truly look out for you and are rooting for you to one day even surpass us in both success and victory.
I know I pray for that for all the younger generations. As every elder generation should.
Good luck out there, whatever you decide to do.

Historical Development of the PartiesThe Democrats have their roots in the platform Thomas Jefferson ran on, the “Democratic-Republicans.” They started off advocating against the Federalists and the centralization of power. This put them against the national bank, and in favor of agrarianism and self-determination with regards to slavery and its practice. By the time of Andrew Jackson, it had become the Democratic Party. While far less opposed to sweeping action on the part of the executive (particularly under Old Hickory), the Party still defined itself by its commitment to self-determination for states. The Party also found itself advocating for the rights of laborers and opposing industrialization as it developed in the 19th Century.
The Republicans were started sometime around the Civil War and were dedicated to the “Preservation of the Republic,” which was the impetus for their name. Of course, that just meant bringing the South to heel by any means necessary up to, and including, gunpoint and scorched earth. They also supported industrialization, international trade, and contra-labor sentiments. They ultimately descend from the Federalists, although the hodge-podge of parties that came between Federalists and Republicans aren’t worth spilling ink over with the possible exception of the American “Whig” Party. They were primarily defined by their opposition to the retention of power at the level of the states.
Neither of these parties, historically, would have described the United States of America as anything other than a Republic or a Democratic Republic. The Democrats believed in power more concentrated in “the people,” which the Constitution defines as “the States” in the 10th Amendment and the Executive, which is elected by the people through the states. The Republicans wanted more power concentrated in the Congress, particularly after the imposition of the 17th Amendment which robbed states of the ability to select their own senators through the state legislatures.
Today Democrats, both the elite and the laity, ceaselessly refer to the United States as a “Democracy.” They are particularly apt to refer to it as “our Democracy.” Democracy, to them, is an ideal more than a system of government. This is how they can excoriate populism while endorsing democracy. One might have described Democracy as “egalitarianism” as captured by the French Revolution’s “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,” but it’s since moved on. Its nearest approximation now could be rendered, “elevate the historically oppressed groups to their rightful places and we will live together in harmony.” The implied threat is, “no justice, no peace.”
The Republican elites also believe in democracy and perpetuate the delusion that this country was founded as, and existed as, a democracy since its inception. “Republic,” as it appears in our national documentation, art, and history is a mere linguistic penchant in which people used to engage. They really meant “Democracy.” Really, it’s synonymous with “Republic,” because there are only three systems of government. We learned from WWII that you either live in a democracy or you live in a communist or fascist dictatorship. Monarchy? See “Fascist Dictatorship.”
However, the Republican base largely believes that we do or should live in a republic and that our government has restrictions and standards that govern it. Public opinion, manufactured or not, creates no justification for the government to forgo its duties or to grant itself excess powers. When the government refuses to enforce its border and uses bureaucratic investigational agencies to harass citizens with views it despises, the government has ceased to be a legitimate republic.
It’s not the old Reaganite idea that boils down to the Left caring about what the government can do for you and the Right being afraid of what the government can do to you. The government has duties and obligations, many of which it ignores or actively circumvents. Less government isn’t always good government. A republic sets up a strict set of duties and limitations dictating what the government must and must not do. Democracies, on the other hand, demand that the government enact whatever the vox populi wishes. In this case, it’s the will of the elite filtered through media organizations telling you that the people want what the elites want.
Although they started out as names with complex histories and nuance, they’ve become their simple matter-of-fact truths. Democrats want democracy. Republicans, the rank-and-file at least, want a republic.

“Now in these dread latter days of the old violent beloved U.S.A. and of the Christ-forgetting Christ-haunted death-dealing Western world I came to myself in a grove of young pines and the question came to me: has it happened at last?”
Walker Percy, Love in the Ruins
Here’s an important article by C. Jay Engle, “Revolution from the Middle.” It is a very good summary and diagnosis of where we stand in the last days of the old American order and worth making time to read it.
There is a lot Engle gets right and that I want to agree with, but sadly believe are ideas that have expired. I think Engle is accurate in saying that Friend vs. Enemy is the only sane disposition to have (and abandon any sentiment and belief that a constitutional recovery is possible or even desired) and that building parallel cultural, economic, and social alternatives with Friends is essential (the argument to become a government in waiting). The problem is that this strategy requires a very long time to become operational and longer to have the needed impact. Even if everything he advocates were adopted today en masse by dissidents and Friends from the middle, it probably is too late to slow the free fall.
The reason is because mass migration has changed everything.
Toxic OverloadThere are dozens of instances from antiquity to right now where the intentional migration or resettlement of populations significantly changed or destroyed nations, peoples, or other cultures: Assyrian deportations, Roman colonization, the Gothic migrations, Mongol invasions and settlements, the Spanish in the Americas, Stalin’s deportations and resettlements, Israel’s resettlement policies, how the Han Chinese became the dominant ethnic group in China… The list is long and the impact absolute.
While colonization and resettlement can have flash points of conflict, it is the ultimate strategy of conquest because it is primarily a moderated toxic overload to a host country that avoids the fight. It is the ultimate slow boil.
Comparatively there have been few examples where a host nation successfully reversed or mitigated the impact of resettlement or migration that threatened its demographic, cultural, or political stability. Notably: The Reconquista in Spain, The Reconquista of Sicily, the fall of the Crusader states, the expulsion of the Mongols, China’s expulsion of foreigners from Manchuria, and in Africa, the end of French and Portuguese colonial rule in Algeria, Mozambique, and Angola and the forced White exodus in Rhodesia, Kenya, and South Africa.
In every case, these and other expulsions are violent and brutal.
The British leaving India may seem like there is a peaceful solution because their departure was not violent in the sense of an armed struggle. But unlike the other instances, it was largely a negotiated and planned process influenced by a non-violent independence movement, the broader international context was favoring decolonization, and critically, the British were not a large, entrenched settler population. However, the Indian and Pakistan partition that followed was incredibly violent.
Grim OptionsSo, back to the position the Engle’s article represents. In my opinion, there are only a few options for Heritage Americans:
Options one and two seem inevitable and could not be a more depressing and darker outcome. To quote Ronnie Van Zant, “Lord take me and mine before that comes.”
Regarding option three, for all the “revolutionary” and “come and take ‘em” language our side uses, we’re too quick to deflate the idea that the threat of violence and force is actually what we mean, or worse, we actually find force unacceptable or impermissible rather than it being the most obvious and historically defensible solution.
There is no difference in the critique of why conservatism failed (strategically, because it believed that taking the high road and making better arguments would win the day and because it was infiltrated early on by neocons) and the emerging position articulated in Engle’s article. Rather than physically resist and actually fight, we retreat and pen more essays that few read, fewer understand, and no one, including most authors, ever implement.
Once again, conservatism and spin-off derivatives live in the theoretical world, while the enemy is relentlessly in the real world. They use action and have zero compunction about using force, including violence. With the accelerated strategy of the ultimate weapon, immigration, paired with their facility of using force, the Right couldn’t be more comically unprepared for the fight.
Any one of the conservative, paleo, and yes, Southern independence strategies over the last 70 years could have been effective. But, the window has closed. The moment has passed. Mass immigration has very likely killed any chance of any of these grand visions mattering at all.
Unless 30 million people are sent home right now and before their babies start coming at exponential rates, we are defeated.
The Tipping Point and Sending them HomeThis dark assessment is based on numbers. Repatriation is possible until the foreign population reaches a critical mass.
As of 2023, the foreign-born population in the United States has reached a conservative estimate of 15% of the total population, marking the highest percentage in history. This figure translates to approximately 49.5 million foreign-born, a significant increase from previous decades. This surge includes both legal and low-ball estimates on illegal immigration.
The reality is that the number is probably off by ten million, meaning that it’s probably one in five people who are foreigners, mostly illegal and mostly from third-world countries.
Historically, expulsion has occurred at varying percentages of the foreign-born population, often between 1% and 30% with the high end being post-WWII when Germans were forced out of places like Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Hungary. In most cases however, where forced and violent expulsions as cited previously occurred and were successful, those expelled made up a low single digit percentage.
If foreign born and mostly illegals make up 20% of the United States population consider the variables that make peaceful repatriation possible: The percentage of foreign born, how well integrated the people are, their economic power, the time frame of the immigration, and, of course, the political will.
The fact that most have come here recently, they are not integrated, and they have little economic power are certainly positives. The public sentiment is also more in favor of deportations than ever before. The terrifying percentage of foreigners and the lack of political will unfortunately outweigh the things in our favor of hoping for a mostly peaceful political solution.
During Operation Wetback (1954 to 1955), a little over one million people were deported back to Mexico. During the entirety of the operation, illegal workers by American growers continued because growers avoided the bureaucratic obstacles of the Bracero program, which was trying to formalize the process for temporary workers. The unchallenged continuation of illegal immigration, along with public outcry was largely responsible for the failure of the program and why it so quickly lost funding. This would likely resemble what a Trump program would look like. Unless he goes for the big double-digit deportations, anything short of that will be undermined and not matter.
This brings us back to previous options mentioned and whether or not we want to save the continent, or regions of it, from the permanent transformation into something that will more closely resemble the third world.
Ready EnoughFew of us are prepared for fighting personally, let alone having the infrastructure and logistics in place that would be necessary for a prolonged North American Reconquista with the complexities of alliances and resources split between Friends and Enemies. But here’s the thing, there never is going to be a scenario when it’s just right or even good. It’s not how this ever works. It’s a full-time job and something a State alone is capable of doing. But we’re ready enough. We have been ready enough for a long time.
It is not complicated what needs to be done or even how to do it. For obvious reasons laying out a strategy here is ill advised but consider that the Enemy is a paper tiger in every way. From the ability to marshal force at scale and its dependency on the tax base, the system is loud and scary, but weak. It can hurt a few dispersed people at a time. They can do nothing with even moderately concentrated resistance. Less still once it is emulated across states.
We have allies in office, local and state. We have 80% of law enforcement. The military is a clown show but not yet a full mercenary force. It’s still months away from April 15th. Learn how to make your case for the urgency needed now to avoid an irreversible demographic disaster and why presenting a unified and aggressively defiant front is the lone option for a future worth having.

While the Right is busy high-fiving themselves about how ridiculous it looked that the Democrats allowed Planned Parenthood to set up a trailer to provide free abortions and vasectomies at the now-concluded Democratic National Convention, they miss the larger plot. “I can’t believe they were that dumb!” Dumb? Their stunt wasn’t just not-dumb, it was brilliant. It was evil, ghoulish, and proof of the fact that the party is in sorte diaboli*, but it was tactically sound.
On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Dobbs v. Jackson that, in simple terms, the question of the legal status of abortion would return to the states. The entire country erupted. Cheering, gloating, and celebration occurred on the Right as the first quantifiable “step backwards” towards a saner age had occurred. The Left, equally emotional, shrieked, wailed, and swore revenge.
While some say revenge is a dish best served cold, issues have a shelf-life in politics. Leftists swore they’d remember this at the ballot-box in 2024, but predictably, they were grandstanding about Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan and the Mar-a-Lago raid by August. Trump, in his primary and presidency, played the media like a fiddle. The media and the leftist mob could never make a single “outrage” into a “Monica Lewinski” moment for Trump because they couldn’t help themselves and always shifted coverage to the next outrageous thing he did. Their case of ADHD outlived the Trump presidency. Despite running a feeble piece every week or so about “how people in Arkansas are fighting back against the abortion ban” and other provocative pieces, the ember died out and people found new things to get angry about. Most people had forgotten about the ban, as it had virtually zero impact on them, and moved on with their lives.
Historically, abortion drives engagement in vast swaths of the Democratic Party, particularly its female majority (possible supermajority). After Trump won in 2016, they took to the national mall with their ridiculous pink hats to declare that Trump would take away their right to choose. They were shocked, horrified, and incredulous that he did, through his Supreme Court appointments. He wasn’t supposed to be able to do that. In fact, activists broke into the Capitol building with no legal repercussions (as opposed to January 6th self-guided tourists) to protest the confirmation hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The Democratic Party knew that a two-year-old issue is one of their most powerful and energizing causes, but struggled with how to bring it up effectively and refocus the mob off the current outrage du jour, which was the “weirdness” of Vance. How would they do this? They’d have Planned Parenthood set up an abortion wagon right outside of their convention center and let everything fall into place.
The media covered it in neutral-to-positive tones and gave it some exposure. People started to remember the ruling of 2022. Then the Right stepped in and behaved predictably and amplified the message beyond anything the DNC could have dreamed of. Grandmothers on Facebook, Groypers on X (formerly Twitter), and content-creators on YouTube were all shining the spotlight on the despicable evil that permeated the Democratic Party, that they would have the gall to set up an infanticide camper right outside of their event. It dwarfed any other single outrageous moment of the convention and will continue to as the event fades further into memory.
Despite the incredulity of good and honest people, the abortion bonanza will not have any negative effect on the Harris campaign. It can only help them. The Democratic base is composed of people who — A: gleefully endorse this type of behavior, or B: have a proven history of holding their noses and tolerating it because they think abortions should be safe, legal, and rare or because their union teacher salary or immigration status is more important.
The only people honked off about this are the people on the Right. And the Right is about as energized as it’s been since 2016 due to a dumpster fire inflation economy, tranny grooming, and immigration. Let’s face it, we’ve also developed our own form of “current event” ADHD, and this will be a, “hey, remember when they put a big blue baby-killing bus out front of the DNC,” type of thing. The Kamala gaffe machine is just getting started. She has to win, and therefore campaign, in a combination of 8 or so different states. If she were on the road any more than she will be in the next few months, she’d be a pothole. She’ll do something dumb the first week of September and the DNC Abortion meme will be indexed and a new one will dominate.
But the Supreme Court abortion narrative got a breath of fresh air for the Left and will stick around. The cat ladies finally remembered what had them so cheesed off in the summer of 2022, and they’re probably a little embarrassed that they forgot about it. The Harris campaign will likely weave a reminder into every speech that they need to show up to pay Trump back for the ruling and so that she can stuff the court with Talmudic law scholars and ethnic minorities. They did what seemed impossible in the era of 24-hour ADHD meme-driven news-cycles. They successfully resurrected a two-year-old outrage and gave it new life. I’ll leave the reader to reflect on the irony.
*In the interest of transparency, I’ll note that Planned Parenthood claims they were only providing “abortion medication.” NPR eruditely described the medication as “abortion pills.” Despite the abortion procedure supposedly being simple, quick, and safe, Planned Parenthood felt they couldn’t perform it in the given facilities and without admitting rights and ease-of-access to a local ER. What’s terrifying is that they found the facilities adequate to perform vasectomies.

I noticed a steak and burger seasoning on sale, so I tossed it into my grocery cart as I was going to be grilling burgers for the family yesterday evening. It said it had a “salty, garlic, spicy kick,” why not? White people actually do season their food when it’s not being served to black people in jail and public school, after all. Besides how an interest rate works, this might be the secret we’ve best kept from Black America.
Listen, I’m just not much of a spice guy. pic.twitter.com/u9yadJBMh2

As I was about to shake it on the burgers, I happened to catch a glimpse of “bioengineered food ingredients” on the back. This got me to read the nutrition facts. So, basically to deliver a combination of garlic, salt and onion powder with some sort of lemon flavoring to your burger, this company had created a concoction of various corn syrup byproducts, soy compounds, and silicone dioxide. Of what proportions, consumers don’t get to know, so I just tossed it into the trash can.
Nothing is what it purports to be in America these days, right down to the seasoning. As the average voter is now essentially a mutant and our political system acts as a filtration device to sift for the worse possible people this shithole has to offer, we’re witnessing an ever-growing disconnect between the politicians and the voters. This leads to farcical attempts by the politicians to make themselves seem normal by the standards of the voters.
As far as I can remember, the spice thing started with Hillary Clinton saying she always kept hot sauce in her purse as some sort of way to humanize herself by being quirky. She was accused of copying this from a Beyonce song, but I can pretty much guarantee she had no idea who this singer was, let alone the lyrics to her song.
In 2016, a host asked Hillary Clinton what’s something she always has in her bag. “Hot sauce,” she said. Critics claimed she said this to pander to black voters because of Beyoncé’s “hot sauce in my bag” lyric.
But she has been talking about hot sauce in her bag for 20+ years. pic.twitter.com/vMFyzOD8Hi

That fell flat even though the media tried to run with it, but new ideas don’t come around politics too often, so now the Harris campaign is trying to run with it as well. I’ll give it to Kamala Harris that she’s not carrying weight like a connoisseur of the American mutant diet. So, it would seem odd that she would have to pull over her massive armed convoy to get a bag of Doritos, especially since she could click her fingers and get someone to do this for her. Maybe this sort of PR will work, since people like me don’t even vote.
Every road trip needs a snack break.

We do seem to be reaching a new plateau in terms of absurdity where there’s really no pretense made about appealing to incredibly ignorant and stupid fat mutants whose reading level probably leaves them with difficulty comprehending the nutrition facts on a label.
The Romney vs Obama election was the last time the candidates tried to make it seem like they were running because they wanted to contend with each other over a set of differentiating approaches to the economy and foreign policy. Trump turned everything into it’s going to be the “best ever” and there was no going back. It worked for him, so why try to make up some jargon about false policy differences that nobody understands or cares about?
I’m not sure why the Harris campaign is trying so hard since this election has been fortified for democracy with mail-in ballots. However, it does seem like Trump has received the blessing of panicked Jewish power system that senses it might need him in the White House instead of prison when things really kick off in the Middle East, which could be any minute now. Having half of the electorate riled up because he’s behind bars would distract from our commitment to sacrificing ourselves for Israel and anyone who’d be fine with this is going to be voting for Trump, not Harris. This could explain quite a bit.

Shocking. When Trump was running against Hillary, and expected to take a lopsided loss, there was no secret made of the fact that he’d activated the enthusiasm of horrible racist and antisemitic Americans. This was thought to be so detrimental that Hillary’s campaign made it into a talking point about “deplorables” in what might prove to be the greatest blunder ever in an American presidential election. 2016 was a really fun rollercoaster, whereas now it’s just a cavalcade of cringe.
One of the reasons that the polling didn’t show Trump winning back then was due to the fact that he got enormous amounts of white voters to the polls who don’t vote because they hoped that some of this racist, antisemitic stuff would turn out to be true. People like us don’t answer polls, so there would be no way to gather accurate metrics for what was going to happen on election day. This was something we were pointing out in the alternative media at the time.
Trump received more votes than any incumbent president in history back in 2020, but since none of the racist, antisemitic stuff turned out to be true, he wasn’t able to turn out that element a second time. The mail-in ballots sealed his fate, but the lack of deplorable support was a major blow to his reelection chances. Again, there’s no poll anyone is going to answer where they admit to not voting for Trump again because he wasn’t a racist, so we don’t have any useful metrics.
He definitely doesn’t have our support this time around and he doesn’t even look to be courting it. Both campaigns are going to double down on stupid and double down on Israel. Israel matters less and less to voters, so it seems counterintuitive, but they need to signal they’re dependable to the Jews calling the shots. Either one of them accusing the other of not doing enough for Jews is outrageously absurd, but that’s the tenor of things now.
Whatever happens with this election, there’s not turning back on stupid. Of this prediction, I have supreme confidence.

There’s a colored gentleman I keep seeing at an intersection who purports to have discovered what white people would call an “organic” cure for cancer. He also claims that the Russians have killed certain members of his family and also want him dead.
From one crazy person to another, I’d advise him to simply get himself a website like I did, instead of holding up posterboards in the sun, but we just wave at each other. I’ve learned to respect the grind, so he earned his in my view of the world. Yesterday, I caught myself wondering if there was a Russian assassin already lurking in town preparing an operation to silence this hero.

Drink up, kiddos! Do you like my tin foil hat? Perhaps he actually does have a cure for cancer, all that I really know is that this place called America has an elixir for anyone’s sanity. The trigger that springs open a trap door to the madness below is the noticing of things. Indeed, the irrepressible habit of noticing things and then wondering about their implication or trying to place them in some broader context is unhelpful to navigating life unperturbed by ongoing or impeding disaster. I suffer from this condition, which I would define as reality-induced psychological distress.
Suffers of this condition are often labeled as “conspiracy theorists.” I feel this is a pejorative, much like calling someone who is mentally disabled “retarded” but that’s a digression. In their own heads, victory after victory is scored, while in reality such internal triumphs change nothing. The real purpose is to confirm their own biases while everyone else around them seems to recognize zero and does their best to induce diabetes with every gulp taken.
I wish there could be an island designated exclusively for us, like they used to do with leper colonies. We’d also get free binoculars to watch eagerly for the flames from afar along with platters of snacks on toothpicks and an open bar. You, see? I’m getting myself off track again. Idealism is a comorbidity to my condition.
By idealism, I mean possessing the basic imaginative capability to infer that we don’t have to live this way. You can have something other than what’s right in front of you. Just this notion will trouble you quite far enough. The expectation might be your demise.
Attendant to this malady is that we can observe at any given time how far things have deteriorated because we’re able to reference something that’s not right in front of us. For example, I can watch a homosexual address the Democratic National Convention and ask the state of Georgia how it casts its vote in his lisp to signal a rapper’s surprise performance.
Simultaneously, I can recall that such events used to be conducted with decorum, realize that nothing of any validity or intellectual value will be discussed the entire time, project that the situation will get worse from here for a set of reasons, and wonder if this country would be better off nuked by Vladimir Putin.
In the same moment, I will feel the urge to drink, remember I need to do yard work when I get home, and make a mental note to stop by the ghetto supermarket where I can purchase Steel Reserve since I refrain from hard liquor on the mower. I’m an adult and adults are responsible. I can’t remember who said that, but somebody did.
Meanwhile, a Republican would say to himself that we had Hulk Hogan do the RNC, so the libs were owned, and forget about the brown voodoo religion woman giving the prayer who could start her own cholera epidemic if she forgot to use a toilet.
I grew up watching wrestling, and I was never a Hulk Hogan fan because he just didn’t move the needle with me in any direction. My favorites were always Stone Cold and the Undertaker. The only time I found him interesting was when he joined the NWO. That was a great plot twist, and everyone was talking about it at school the next day.
If you watch this clip and you have some decades of American decline under your belt, look at how normally all of the proles in the audience conducted themselves. Many of the males are appareled in what I once quipped to my old man was his “boomer casual” outfit: jeans, tucked t-shirt, trucker cap (he didn’t find this even remotely amusing). Were some of them on coke? Sure. Drunk? Oh yeah.
Still, they weren’t raised on legalized speed fed to them so they could pay attention at school. Also, most of them were taking their kids to the show, since they were married to their kids’ mom and that’s what dads did with the older kids back then while the mom stayed home with the littler ones. The 80’s and 90’s were like the 1950’s compared to now.
These same proles just two or three generations removed are now basically mutants. If they have a female, she has at least one nostril pierced, and they should thank their lucky stars it isn’t the full hog ring. Moreover, they don’t have the attention span to even sit through a wrestling match probably even with the cocktail of drugs everybody is on. All the while, I wrestle with my thoughts of the imminent total collapse while I go about my business with a pleasant demeanor or at least a dead look on my face.
It wasn’t until I started writing on the internet that I realized just how many of us are out there. Don’t expect any drug commercials on TV about a pill or non-surgical option to fix our condition, though. That’s all I have for today. Writing on the internet doesn’t clean out my gutters.
The post The Ramblings of a Troubled Mind appeared first on Identity Dixie.
A few days ago, a friend of mine sent me a screenshot of an engagement he had with a miserable Yankee boy. The Yankee was very proud that his social media accounts were populated with despairing remarks about Southerners, our ancestors, our way of life, etc. However, because of the current political dilemma facing the viability of the American Empire, and in a spirit of unity, he would let bygones be bygones. All hands-on deck was his cry in order to shore up support for Donald Trump. In fact, he would graciously join forces with us, poor rednecks that we are, in order to keep that Dot (not feather) Indian chick from becoming president and, in so doing, save his precious Union.
Well, THAT’S MIGHTY WHITE of him!
Unfortunately for him, we don’t need his pity, his acceptance, nor his benevolence. No, sir, the Grand Ole Party needs us, and that’s how it’s been at least since about 1968. That’s why President Nixon (may he rest in peace), fearful of the strength of a George Wallace candidacy, developed what is historically called the Southern Strategy. I won’t go too deep into the weeds on this issue, we have more capable writers here at ID to address that topic. What I will do, if I may, is pontificate on the importance of the Southern states in this year’s presidential election.
The common strategy in recent presidential elections has been to focus on the Rustbelt. Make an appeal to those forgotten voters in hard hit industrial areas north of the Ohio River. After all, those are the truest of true Americans, and they represent us all. I’ve heard this mantra so many times that it makes me want to vomit. The fact that their societies have no political cohesion attests to their lack of identity. People from the Upper Midwest are as flavorless as tofu, just as full of soy, and completely unnecessary to win the election.
Of course, it’s always good to win more electoral votes, but the true path to victory for Trump is to sweep the South. If he can march through Georgia, ride on the back of that negro Republican running for governor in North Carolina, rally the resistance in the Shenandoah, pull the hillbillies out of their hollers long enough to put an X in front of Trump’s name, he’s got a real good chance to win. And, he can do it without Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Now, the margin will be thinner than a gnat’s hair, but it can be done. However, if Trump loses just one Southern state, his path to victory will be determined in the courts. And the forgotten territory from the Old Confederacy he has to win, even by the smallest of margins, is Arizona. That’s right, Yankee readers, Arizona was once part of the Confederacy. Hopefully, enough of the good Californians have moved there to turn the tide. I know patriots have been hard at work to limit the amount of fraud since the last election. So, look to Arizona as to how well election integrity is developing, it will be the bellwether.
It is quite possible Trump loses, since the retardation level in the Midwest is astronomical. Notoriously, they can’t even decide if they want to be communists, or quasi-socialist. Trump cannot rest his whole political career, possibly his freedom, on people who consistently waffle between the Left and Right. He has to exhaust his efforts in the South.
I will admit, my spirit is torn regarding the outcome of this election, and for many reasons. If Trump loses, we get endless Third World immigration, astronomical taxes and inflation, and more poverty and servitude among our people. But, it may result in the states taking their rightful role as sovereigns and secure a future for their citizens. If he wins, we may get a moratorium on immigration, the economy may improve, but unfortunately our people will think the conflict with the communists is over and normalcy will be restored. Of course, a Trump victory may give us time to build the necessary political infrastructure to act as a government in waiting.
Regardless of the outcome of the election, the South should be our only focus. Allying with Yankees to save their godless Union should never be an avenue we walk. Our ancestors deserve our resistance.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

In an age where we’re more connected than ever, paradoxically, many of us find ourselves feeling more disconnected from ourselves in the process.
One of the root reasons why, I believe, is because of a lack of solitude.
Notifications, news, and nonstop data makes it hard for us to have the time to wind down and find peace in our day-to-day life.
Now, more than ever, it is important to integrate times of solitude into our routines.
We need times where we have literally nothing to do and zero interruptions.
I’m talking no phone, no work, no other people even. Just you, alone with your thoughts.
These kind of times are critical. They help you find out who you truly are and hope you develop truly deep thoughts that are your own.
It is often in these times of solitude where we grow the most.
One of the problems with the constant breaking news cycle is that people read things and pick up opinions through others without meditating on the thoughts themselves. There needs to be a time where you are alone—without this flow of information—where you can consciously and objectively review and think about the big questions facing you.
It is during this time that you are able to develop your true thoughts.
I believe this is one reason why there are so many normies. There are more than there used to be because there are a lot fewer times of solitude than there used to be.
The normies just hear and read what they are supposed to believe. They take no time to think of it themselves. Consume all; produce none.
But many dissidents and conservatives fall into a similar trap. We often get sucked into the alternative news and the constant flow of data, so that we don’t take time to formulate our own thoughts on hot topics of the day. We just regurgitate what we’ve heard from trusted dissident sources.
This is not good. We need to make sure we are taking time to spend with ourselves. To provide a balance to other dissidents, so we too do not become another hivemind.
Part of this process needs to be completely alone. Otherwise, we are at risk of external persuasion.
There are many ways to go about picking a time of solitude for yourself. Some people like to add it in completely new, whereas others like to integrate it with something they already do consistently.
For example, sometimes I like to go on hikes and just spend the time there with no podcast, music, or anything else. Just my thoughts and the journey ahead.
Another way I sometimes go is with a vice of your own choosing. Sometimes I’ll smoke a cigar alone and put the phone away in the process. But I know some other people that like to have a drink instead, but the solitude component remains the same.
My wife does it while gardening. She likes to just get into garden mode and be deep in her thoughts at the same time.
However, you make it work is up to you. There has to be somewhere in your weekly routine where you can fit it in. All I ask is that you try it.
For the Christian, part of this solitude practice can also morph/become longform prayer. For instance, on Thursdays I have an extended period of time to hit the weights. I usually spend at least an hour and a half on Thursday for the gym session of the week. I work out at home, so during this time I have nothing on tech-wise and no interruptions. Instead of wasting time consuming more content, I spend that entire time in prayer. Talking to God, praising the past week, making requests, and yielding to the thoughts that arise. These longform prayers are only once a week but have revolutionized my walk with God. And I wouldn’t have found it without setting aside time for solitude.
Because of how fast pace our modern day is, most of us have lost track of the importance of catching up with ourselves and improving the inner relationship within ourselves and with God. I believe that is a mistake. It is something that we all need to work on. Myself included.
So if you are not, I encourage you to seek a time of solitude. Even if you can only get away for short 10, 20, 30-minute session at a time once every while.
I firmly believe you will be astounded at how strongly these times of solitude benefit you.

The Freedom Caucuses are amongst the better things happening in State politics today. Louisiana is blessed to have one, and they have done some good work so far. Much of the legislation they have written and passed has been excellent, but we cannot say the same thing for some of the resolutions they have written. The Louisiana Freedom Caucus’s (LFC) condemnation of London (England) Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley is a case-in-point. It fails rhetorically and strategically.
Sir Mark has threatened to extradite anyone in the United States who shares footage on social media of the immigration riots that have plagued England recently that he deems forbidden. The LFC rightly objected and issued a stern reply to Sir Mark. But the rhetorical form they chose doesn’t fit the situation at all. They used a device suited for a cold, dispassionate legal brief (a repetitious list of ‘Whereas’ statements), not for bidding fiery defiance to a would-be tyrant. Examples:
WHEREAS on the 4th of July, 1776, the 13 British Colonies declared independence from England . . .
WHEREAS in 1787, the colonies adopted a Constitution . . .
WHEREAS given the fact that English laws related to the infringement of free speech have no effect in the United States . . .
This is the sort of thing that makes peoples’ eyes glaze over, rather than rise up in indignation against the oppressor and in solidarity with the oppressed.
A better example of rhetoric against a tyrant comes from a martyr celebrated on 14 August, St. Eusebius of Palestine (martyred near the end of the 3rd century). Here is some of the dialogue between him and the Roman judge:
Maxentius, whom the people stirred up by furious clamours against the servant of Christ, said to him: “Sacrifice to the gods freely, or you shall be made to do it against your will.” The martyr replied: “There is a greater law which says, Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.”
Maxentius urged: “Choose either to offer sacrifice, or to suffer the most rigorous torments.” Eusebius answered: “It is not consistent with reason for a person to adore stones, than which nothing is viler or more brittle.”
Maxentius: “These Christians are a hardened race of men, to whom it seems desirable rather to die than to live.” Eusebius: “It is impious to despise the light for the sake of darkness.”
Had St. Eusebius answered as the LFC did – Whereas there is a greater law…; Whereas it is not consistent with reason…; Whereas it is impious…; and so forth – such statements would not have been nearly as effective as the brief, direct responses he actually gave. We hope the LFC will keep things like this in mind in their future resolutions.
Rhetoric aside, there is also the problem of strategy. In condemning Comm. Rowley, the LFC took too big of a swing and landed some blows on the English people at large with lines like these:
WHEREAS the rights of Americans have been inviolate since that time, though we readily acknowledge England’s failed attempt to retake the colonies, we respectfully remind the Commissioner how that fracas ended—with an enormous defeat of England’s Army at the Battle of New Orleans. English casualties were high and the Royal Army was sent home without the treasure or property it craved; . . .
If the LFC really wants to make Sir Mark uncomfortable, they need to undermine his position of strength in England. That is done by making common cause with the plainfolk of England, the people he is threatening just like Louisianans and other Southerners and the rest of the States with jail time for sharing videos on social media. However, one does not make allies by mocking the history and valor of those English people, saying in effect ‘We kicked yo’ hineys once, and we’re ready to do it again.’
The LFC ought to say instead that they understand and value the deep cultural ties Louisiana and all the other States share with the English people. From England we have inherited a wonderful Christian patrimony full of some the finest saints one will find in any land, from monastics like St. Guthlac and St. Hilda to missionaries like St. Willibrord to excellent rulers like St. Edwin and St. Ethelbert. The influence of English literature is likewise profound: Beowulf, the many and varied writings of St. Aldhelm and St. Bede, Chaucer, the language of the King James Bible, the poetry of George Herbert, the powerful works of G. K. Chesterton, T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, and J. R. R. Tolkien; much more could be said in this regard. There is also the English conservative political tradition that we draw from, with remarkable figures like John Henry Newman and Samuel Taylor Coleridge to name just two. Not to mention that the States have inherited the basic structure of their political institutions from England (the three branches of government and how they interact, the bicameral legislature, county government, etc.). And since the Great Feast of the Falling Asleep of the Mother of God has recently passed, we may also note that England (at Glastonbury) was one of the first places where the Christians venerated the All-Pure, Ever-Virgin Mary, beginning there with St. Joseph of Arimathea in the 1st century.
This is the very history and culture totalitarians like Comm. Rowley are trying to erase and replace with a debauched pagan alternative. The LFC and other good folks in Louisiana and the rest of the States should make every effort to shore up the Christian English culture here in North America and also in England. Doing so is the surest way to force totalitarians like Sir Mark to retreat and find another line of work (as a Christian ethnos will not abide such people), one where they will no longer pose a threat to society at large. Thus, instead of unnecessary insults, the LFC ought to be reaching out to Nigel Farage’s Reform Party (amongst others) about how they can help turn the tide in a better direction in England, which would benefit both the UK and the US.
The benefits of international contacts amongst conservatives/traditionalists/reactionaries extend beyond this one kerfuffle with Sir Mark, too: exchanging and improving policy ideas, convivial fellowship and encouragement, warnings about approaching dangers that may have been overlooked, etc.
Ah well, c’est la vie. Live and learn, as the wise ones say. It is difficult to find perfection anywhere in the world. May the Lord bless every good endeavor of the LFC. We look forward to its work in the years ahead.

One of the reasons that events transpire without the average person understanding what’s going on is that the average person is stupid and ignorant. That’s why movies tend to shape their perception of what’s happening past and present far more than any cold, dispassionate information that’s available to them. Another problem is false narratives constructed for them, especially narratives which make them feel that things are alright in terms of something they care about.
I know officers with military graduate degrees who’d insist to you we’d be speaking German if we’d lost World War 2. Asking them how a country the size of Texas without much of a navy was supposed to conquer North America would register a blank. Explaining that the U.S. Navy had been shooting at the Germans like it was a war since 1939, but this was deliberately not disclosed to the public, and that American support for the Soviet Union and the UK had prolonged a conflict that could’ve been negotiated to an end is crossing into some pretty dark waters.
Part of why U.S. Army uniforms were switched back to the WW2 style is to make a point about how we defeated the Nazis to save the world and that’s what we’re doing again in the battle against white supremacy. However, it’s also to make soldiers like I described above feel good about themselves since they’ve seen every movie and show about WW2, including The Man in the High Castle. They want to believe, and they’re quite gullible, but they’re going to need some support.
This the fate we avoided by incinerating the populations of major German cities. The basic narrative premise they’ve bought into is that Americans are the good guys, we’re the best at what we do, and we have the best stuff. Whatever transpires in the world pertaining to these matters will be interpreted accordingly, including war with the Russians and Chinese. I know one who’s enthusiastic about our prospects and thinks that’s what needs to happen.
I haven’t talked to any of them about their take on the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk but it seems that one of the Ukrainian objectives is to keep the narrative going that Ukraine has a fighting chance in this conflict, and I’m sure that’s what the confirmation bias they’d receive from what’s going on. This is definitely the narrative being pushed in the MSM. From that angle, the Ukrainian operation is already a resounding success and also a deep embarrassment to Putin.
The question remains as to whether or not it was worth it on this basis alone. For starters, the kinetic objective is clearly the Kursk nuclear power plant which the Ukrainians have now declared is not their objective. Blowing up one of these things is a way to be sure the conflict escalates and brings NATO directly in on their behalf, which isn’t likely to happen with Ukraine losing so badly and the United States distracted by protecting Israel. They need to pull off something so deadly and outrageous that the Russians are forced to retaliate against NATO.
They tried this gambit in Zaporizhzhya by shelling the nuclear power plant that was under Russian control, with the Western media shilling for them with headlines about Putin shelling his own nuclear power plant. The trouble is that the Soviets built these things to survive an indirect nuclear blast and the Russians could fire back, so it was a dead end.
If Ukrainians could gain control of the Kursk plant and rig it with explosives from the inside, that could be the radioactive catastrophe they were going for in Zaporizhzhya, which would be covered with some sort of narrative about the Russians blowing up their own plant. This much is pretty obvious along with their willingness to commit such an atrocity, since they already tried it once.
The initial success the Ukrainians achieved seems to have come from the fact that the Russians were caught by surprise, probably since an incursion into Kursk would be a suicide mission for most of the thousands of men involved and they’d have to be from the valuable trained and experienced units trying to hold them off in Donbass rather than untrained conscripts dragged off the streets to man trenches until they get quickly killed. Apparently, many were transferred from the front lines in Donbass with less than a day’s notice. The Ukrainians would have to sacrifice the best equipment as well.
Strategically, these Ukrainian troops were worth more ensconced in their defensive positions in Donbass rather than fighting from inside a vulnerable salient in Kursk. So, their sacrifice was able to catch the Russians unprepared. We’ve seen from the three failed offensives that when the Russians have determined a potential line of Ukrainian attack, thorough defensive lines with various zones in front of them are erected in which the Ukrainians are slaughtered as they attempt to cross minefields under Russian observation.
None of this happened in their Kursk operation. It looks like they overran bewildered Russian border guards and rolled ahead through open country. This, along with the sheer humiliation of it all, indicates that the Russians never saw it coming. The Ukrainians made so much initial progress because appropriate Russian forces weren’t there to stop them. However, the end result of this will probably be that the sacrifice of so many Ukrainian lives was done only for the benefit of temporary Western propaganda now that the Russian military has focused on them.
This sort of headline is what their lives were worth, all very sad. Unlike the Ukrainians, the Russians haven’t been diverting troops from Donbass where their offensive operations continue to make progress. So, the loss of all these troops in Kursk likely hastens the collapse of Ukrainian positions in Donbass and the Ukrainian military in general. In the meantime, useful headlines will be generated in the Western media and my military expert friends will glean nothing. If the Global War on Terror and everything that’s transpired since has proven anything, it’s that they will just keep believing whatever lies fit the narrative.
It really is nuts to think just how bad things could get here in the United States if our military has to attack Iran for retaliating against Israel and oil prices soar through the roof or the Russians have had enough and finally strike back. This is literally what our “allies” in Israel and Ukraine want to happen. They’re doing their best to force us into taking action. It’s that crazy. Things are bad enough around here as it is, but with the American military on call to save the world it could get much worse.

I am not a huge fan of Cheeto Hitler, the Bad Orange Man, Donald Trump. He is vulgar and an egomaniac and I would guess he would be insufferable to spend time with. Facing an absolute dumpster fire in the opposition, instead of hammering them on the Big Four issues I think he should be talking about (Crime, Immigration, Inflation, The Economy), he is once again sinking to the level of his opponents and arguing about stupid shit like not taxing tips and calling Cumala Harris dumb. Drumpf is just being Drumpf.
Nevertheless, he has been useful in one major respect: drawing the oleaginous “Conservative Inc” grifters out from under their collective rocks and exposing them as the collection of assholes, faggots and whatever other invective you can think of. I don’t think he even meant to but his ill-manners and more importantly his status as a representation of Whites, and especially White men, has brought out the absolute hatred many of the Con Inc. types for the very people that conservatism relies on to win elections.
While neocons have led the way among the Never Trump Orange Man Bad cult, a close second are evangelical elites who have long proclaimed their holding of the moral high ground in public while quietly disdaining the plebes in the pews that pay their salaries. Most of these “elites” are absolute sissies that look as though they wouldn’t never deign to change their own flat tire and lack the upper body strength to do so in the first place. As effete as French aristocrats and as soft as the Stay Puff marshmallow man, they sneer at the unwashed hordes while holding dainty lace handkerchiefs to their sophisticated noses to avoid smelling the untouchables.
There are plenty of examples, from long time leftist in sheep’s clothing Russell Moore, to the modern crop of “public theologians” condemning “Christian nationalism”, but few are as grotesque as the aptly named David French.
New York Times columnist makes ‘conservative’ case to vote Kamala HarrisDavid French finds Trump to be beyond the pale because he offends David’s delicate sensibilities.
New York Times columnist David French revealed he was going to cast his vote for Vice President Harris in November because he wanted to “save conservatism.”
French, identifying himself as pro-life and someone who supported the landmark Dobbs decision, argued that Donald Trump and the “MAGA movement” have pushed the Republican Party away from “Reaganite conservatism.”
French, an “evangelical conservative,” according to his author page, wrote in his column that a Democratic victory was the only way conservatives would have a chance to fix the Republican Party.
“If Harris wins, the West will still stand against Vladimir Putin, and conservative Americans will have a chance to build something decent from the ruins of a party that was once a force for genuine good in American life,” he argued.
What French wants to build is a replica of the GOP that lost so graciously to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and of course does so by dragging out the decrepit corpse of Ronald Reagan. The number of loathsome shitheads like David French that have declared themselves to be the ideological reincarnation of Reagan is without count but none of them seem to remember what was known as Ronald Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment:
Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.
You can argue that Trump isn’t a “real Republican” but the fact of the matter is that he is the Republican nominee. It is also a fact that Cumala Harris is not just a dumb whore but also one of the most far Left mainstream candidates for President in modern history. While the “election” is clearly going to be fake and the whole enterprise of politics is fake and gay, it boggles the mind that someone can think that the way to win elections in the future as the non-White demographic tide overtakes the White Republican voting base is to torpedo the current nominee.
French often cries crocodile tears because mean Alt-Right types mocked him for adopting a black girl from Ethiopia which is amusing because French also complains about being called out for buying a little black girl as a virtue signaling fashion accessory when that is precisely what he and his equally awful wife did.
I don’t know for certain if French just doesn’t get it or if he does and plays dumb, but the rise of the Orange Man to take over the Republican party had very little to do with Trump himself. It had a lot to do with boiling over resentment by Whites, not primarily at Democrats but at “conservatives” like David French who thought it their God-given right to scribble meaningless platitudes in columns and get paid handsomely for it while actual working people were being replaced. As it turns out, the rank and file of conservatism no longer has any interest in David French or his bullshit or his bitch wife.
There is something brewing in America that has nothing to do with David French and his vision for a resurgent lovable losers GOP run by sissies and race cucks. While French and other Never Trumpers like Bill Kristol are talking about ways to wrest control of the Republican Party back from the Republican voting base, many of those voters are realizing the futility of voting at all in a system stacked so heavily against fair elections. If nothing else, I appreciate that the Orange Man is helping to wake more White men up to see the farce that is Conservative Inc.

I can think of no greater traitor to his people than the outrageously silent King Charles, who has said nothing while his nation is destroyed at every angle. The British police not only allow, but tacitly contribute to the kidnapping, rape, and murder of young, White British children. The government protects the freedoms of ultra-violent imams to declare statements of anti-White and anti-Christian hatred, while imprisoning White Christian Britons. The collective war against Anglo-Saxons by the British government is nothing short of demonic.
Great Britain, however, enjoys a robust revolutionary history. In fact, the American Revolution was not a unique event in British history. It was the culmination of a British struggle for rights and national identity that began well before 1066.
Britain’s Celtic ancestors fought the Romans and secured an interesting autonomy. British lords forced the Magna Carta in 1215. The War of the Roses was a bloody contest over the future of the Isles. The myriad of revolutions and internal struggles that Britain endured throughout its history are inspiring. The 17th century deeply impacted the sociological and political identity of the American colonies. That foundational Anglo belief in a codified right to the enjoyment of law and rule by consent led to Lexington in 1775.
By nature, Anglo-Saxons are revolutionaries with a deeply wedded cultural belief in God given rights. Yet today, the British government is at war with the British nation. I do not mean the political boundaries or physical population of Britain. I mean the very racial, ethnic, and cultural construct that made Great Britain a unique contributor to world history.
Last week, some pathetic traitor who leads the London police threatened my American right to not only support a British revolution that returns the rights and native ownership of Great Britain to the British nation, but he also protects and defends Islamist rape gangs. He is, by definition, vile, subhuman scum. I dare him to come after those of us who unequivocally support every car overturned… every rock thrown… every building burned… as the British Nationalists reclaim their revolutionary heritage and stamp out the traitors who call themselves’ “government.”
May God bless EVERY British Nationalist who reclaims his God given right to a government that represents him – not some other tribe(s).

As time goes on, it becomes more and more apparent that Samuel T. Francis really was one of the great theorists of power in the 20th century. His writings offer an invaluable understanding on how Heritage America lost power so quickly, and so decisively. His observations regarding the defeat of Heritage America, the ramifications of this loss, and what the Right must do in response are his most important insights. For Francis, the Right must come to terms with one simple and stark fact – it lost, and the Left now controls the levers of power. Although this may appear very simple and common sense today, it was not the case when Francis made those points back in the 1990s.
Considering how not very long ago it was, but back in the early/mid 1990s, the Right had, at least on the surface, good reason for optimism. Imagine being a conservative intellectual in 1995? The great enemy, the Soviet Union, is now gone, along with the entirety of its European empire. China, North Korea, and Cuba all remained, but it was considered only a matter of time before communism fell there, too. Cuba, with its large conservative diaspora waiting to take their nation back, was considered particularly ripe for an anti-communist revolution. It was taken as a truism, at the time, that the Casto regime would not last long after the man himself, and maybe not even that long.
Meanwhile, the home front offered reason for optimism, as well. Republicans had won five of the past seven elections from 1968 to 1992. And, none of these Republican victories had been close. In four of these victories, the Democrats had been restricted to ten or fewer states. In two of them, the Democrat won only a single state. In one, the Democrat came within 4,000 votes away from losing all 50 states. Sure, there had been the 1976 election, and most recently 1992, but even those were not all that bleak. The 1976 election was between a moderate Yankee Republican and a Dixian Democrat, who was able to distance himself from the cultural revolutionaries of the 1960s. It also happened right after the most important political scandal in United States history, and it was still close. Likewise, 1992 could be written off as a fluke. A recession hit at exactly the worst time. Ross Perot split the conservative vote. Bill Clinton’s 43% would have translated into a landslide defeat in almost any other election. Even here, there was reason for optimism. Pat Buchanan’s insurgent run in 1992 proved there was not an insignificant appetite for a figure more rightwing than Reagan. Not even 20 years earlier, a Reagan presidency could be treated as a joke. Now, a popular figure could be well to Reagan’s right. The 1994 midterms created even more hope. It really looked like the country was going to decisively reject the legacy of the 1960s and the radical leftwing movements of the era.
However, Francis knew better. He knew that, despite the surface level victories the Right had supposedly achieved in the past 30 or so years, it was really just smoke and mirrors hiding far darker undercurrents. The Left was now in control of the major levers of society. This was most pronounced in academia, but increasingly corporations were moving leftward, too. The demographic shift unleashed by the Immigration Act of 1965 was now impacting the electorate. The professional managerial class, which Francis, as a disciple of James Burnham, saw as the actual ruling class, was moving evermore to the Left. Meanwhile, the Right was giving up an ever-increasing amount of ground.
While the Right of the 1950s and 1960s was willing to discuss racial issues, even if such issues were not a driving force of the movement, this was not the case in the 1990s; such discussions had been relegated to the margins. For decades, conservatives understood what immigration would mean to the structure of the country. But by the 1990s, even this was being pushed aside. Conservatism, Inc. decided that being in the good graces of the Left and keeping corporate profit margins healthy was more important than the historical core of the nation. Francis’ solution to all of this was for the Right to actually ditch conservatism. The Left was now in power and “conservatism,” as it has been historically understood as a defensive position, was no longer workable. The Right must now take on an insurgency mindset. Francis was right in 1994, and he’s still correct now.
Of all the elements that make up the Dissident Right, I think Dixian Nationalism is best suited to take on this mentality. The very bedrock of Dixian Nationalism is that Dixie is an occupied nation, much as Ireland was under the British or Poland under the Soviets. Because of this, we are the most capable to observe the United States as a political and cultural adversary. In the United Kingdom of 1915, each of the its parts – England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland – were theoretically equal, but Irish Nationalists knew that was a lie. In reality, England ran the show and Ireland was, if not legally than practically, reduced to colonial status. So is the case of Dixie. Sure, theoretically each state is equal, but the various ruling apparatus of the Yankee Empire has turned that supposed equality into a joke, the most important of which is the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Elections are federally controlled in all or, at least, parts of our states and even districts can be redrawn at the mere whim of a judge.
The United States is no more our nation than Britian was the nation of the Irish. And, because of that, we can instinctively understand the mentality that must be undertaken. It is only by understanding the position we’re in can we actually win.

The “Groypers” (mostly a collection of Zoomers who follow Nick Fuentes, but with a few older/other folks tossed in) have declared a second Groyper War against the Trump campaign:
The X post that started it all.A propaganda poster about the “War”There is a solid article that stays relatively neutral on the declaration from Arktos. You can find it here:
Saving Trump: Fuentes Declares War on Campaign Leadership
Yesterday, America First influencer, organiser, and commentator Nicholas J. Fuentes, a rising star in America’s political landscape, made a public declaration of a new ‘Groyper War’ against the current Trump campaign. The announcement quickly trended on social media, sparking widespread discussion and generating headlines across various news outlets.
Watch the video of Fuentes’ declaration here.
Given the swift and intense reaction from some well-meaning commentators, it is clear that not everyone fully understands the significance of what is unfolding. This analysis aims to break down and explain the underlying moral and strategic reasons behind Fuentes’ declaration.
The Trump campaign of 2024, much like his 2020 campaign, is markedly different from its 2016 iteration — unfortunately, this change has been entirely to its detriment. The campaign lacks the energy and rebellious spirit that originally propelled Trump to victory. Instead of rallying the core demographic that secured his 2016 win, the campaign is now more mainstream, pandering to every conceivable group in society except for those who are actually voting for Trump. This shift towards placating fringe special interests rather than focusing on the core issues that resonated with his base has weakened the campaign’s effectiveness and alienated many of his original supporters.
Fuentes’ strategy of openly challenging the Trump campaign’s leadership and communication strategies is a calculated move with significant potential benefits. By taking this aggressive stance, Fuentes positions himself to claim credit in several potential outcomes. If the campaign stays on its current track and ultimately loses, Fuentes can argue that his criticism was justified and that he predicted the failure. Alternatively, if the Trump campaign makes adjustments in response to his criticism, he can claim that his influence was instrumental in steering the campaign in the right direction. Even if Trump were to win despite sticking to his current strategy, Fuentes could still assert that he and his supporters did everything they could to ensure victory, bolstering their credibility.

Pretty quickly after the declaration, the total snake JD Vance condemned Fuentes:
Vance says he ‘disavows’ Nick Fuentes: ‘A total loser’
Republican vice presidential candidate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), said he “certainly” “disavows” far-right white supremacist Nick Fuentes, who criticized his wife, Usha Vance, for her Indian heritage, while arguing the best response is to “ignore” the attacks.
Fuentes, who dined at Mar-a-Lago with former President Trump in 2022, went after Vance and his family after he joined the former president’s reelection ticket last month.
“Who is this guy, really? Do we really expect that the guy who has an Indian wife and named their kid Vivek is going to support white identity?” Fuentes said of Vance last month.
When asked on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” about the comments, Vance said they “don’t have any room in the MAGA movement.”
“And of course – and of course Donald Trump has criticized this person. Look, I think the guy’s a total loser. Certainly, I disavow him. But if you ask me what I care more about, is it a person attacking me personally, or is it government policy that discriminates based on race? That’s what I really worry about,” Vance continued. “Is bad government policy that harms people based on their immutable characteristics. Look, a lot of losers are going to attack me and attack my family.”
I already wrote a piece on JD Vance here. He is and was a horrible choice for VP. These new developments of him hating on dissidents and spending all his time kneeling before Zionist/non-White interests since securing the nomination only further prove my points against him.
I sympathize with Fuentes here in recognizing that the Trump campaign is headed for disaster and has been completely subverted. Where I disagree is in the implementation of this Groyper War; I.e. in believing that this will make any difference at all. Trump is deep state owned or will be removed. There is no fixing his campaign. He was not pro-White as president before, he won’t be now.
If Arktos is correct, and Fuentes/Groypers are doing this war to hedge themselves for post-election, then it’s a great strategy. However, if they are genuinely attempting to reform a Trump/Vance ticket…Well, then I wish them luck in their near-hopeless endeavor. You can’t reform what was wicked from the start.
I sense that the reality going forward is this:
Regardless of your vote, you are getting World War 3 and economic decline. It’s just about selecting your preferred pathway to that same outcome, I suppose. Trump will patriotically march your sons and daughters off to war, whereas Harris/Walz will march them off to war with weird transgender monsters holding a gun to their back. Either way, they are off to the bombs.
And no amount of reform will change that reality. The deep state needs a war. They will get one.
Not an optimistic prediction, I know. But I am just saying it like I see it.
By God’s providence, I hope I am wrong and the Groypers are right.

In 1941, as World War II still raged, James Burnham, a former Trotskyite, penned one of the best books on political economy produced during the 20th century – The Managerial Revolution. In the book, Burnham attempts to predict what the future of the basic economic structure of society will be. At the time, there were two major theories: (1) capitalism is a permanent part of human society or (2) capitalism will eventually be replaced by socialism, which Burnham defined as a classless, free, and an international society. However, Burnham rejected both of these dominant theories of his time, opting instead for a third theory: that capitalism will be replaced, not by socialism, but rather by a society run by, and for, “managers.”
At the base of Burnham’s theory is his observation that, with the start of World War I, governments around the world began to make far greater intrusions into the economy. By doing this, a new class was, if not outright created, at least greatly strengthened – managers who ran different state organizations now began making major economic decisions (think of the “alphabet soup” entities of the New Deal). Eventually, the power of this managerial class would expand, and they would wrestle societal control from the capitalists, just as the capitalists took societal headship from the aristocracy. It is important to note that Burnham viewed this as a long process; after all, it took the capitalists centuries, from their beginnings in 14th century Italy, to break the power of the nobility, but break it they did. So, while society may be more or less capitalistic now, the managerial revolution was well on its way. Reviewing the major and rising powers of his time, we have the following – National Socialist Germany, Japan, Soviet Russia (as Burnham notes, the classless promises of the communist revolution soon gave way to a society run by managers), and the New Deal United States all, to varying degrees, were/are managerial societies.
Observing our society of today, over 80 years since Burnham wrote his magnum opus, it is stunning just how accurate he ended up. Burnham noted that these managerial organizations would eventually replace parliaments. During the Obama and Biden administrations, it was often noted just how little they accomplished legislatively. Obama had (and still does) Obamacare, but that was accomplished very early in his first term when his party had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. His legislative accomplishments become very thin after that, and Biden does not fare much better. Despite this, both men were able to preside over a full-scale cultural revolution via regulatory rules and decrees – for example, transgenderism was able to move from the extremely fringe margins to one of the core tenents of the ruling class. Trump was largely unable to accomplish his counter-revolution because he does not understand the power structure of a managerial society.
The managerial revolution can also be observed in the nominally capitalistic elements of American society. For as much as someone like Bernie Sanders rails against CEOs and capitalism, it is important to note that CEOs are not capitalists in the traditional sense, and certainly not in the way Karl Marx meant. Capitalists are traditionally understood as the owners of the means of production, but CEOs are not the owners of the companies they run (typically, unless it is a small business), but rather they’re employees. They are, in fact, managers. Remember, unlike traditional 19th century capitalism, where the business was run by one or two people, the commanding heights of the economy no longer fit this description. Who owns Delta, Facebook, Google, Disney, etc.? Well, no single person. Each of these companies are publicly traded and do not fit what was once understood as capitalist ownership structures. A board of directors made up of the people who own the most stock make the ultimate decisions for the company, but this is a long way from the capitalism of the 19th century. Though the transition from capitalism to managerialism is still ongoing, it is remarkable just how much was accomplished in a single century.
All of this is important because one of the greatest truths in history is “he who rules, makes the rules.” Hence, the rapid social changes of the past century – society is being bended to better suit the managerial class. To understand this, one can look at the most recent social revolution brought on by the managerial elite: widespread transgenderism. Transgenderism requires a massive managerial structure to provide both the consistent treatment they need to feed their delusions and also prohibit others from noticing reality. Because transgenders aid in the managers’ quest for power, they are propped up.
At the time Burnham was writing, he noted that the New Deal United States was the least developed of all the managerial societies. Although he was correct, it is important to understand that, in today’s world, the United States is the most revolutionary. Something important to note about the bureaucracy of both Germany and Japan is that it is/was made up of the old noble classes. As both nations industrialized and sent their peasants to the factories, Germany and Japan had to find some way to keep their aristocracies afloat, which they did by creating government positions for them in a bureaucracy. This meant that their managerial class had some elements of traditional society. But the managerial class of the United States does not share this distinction. Rather, it is drawn from the elements of society that fanatically hate traditional society and, with that, their drive to destroy it is different when compared to the foreign managerial classes.
Southern Nationalists must fight fire with fire. Although we do not control the federal government and have no hope to do so, we can use our remaining leverage in our Southern states to promote our values. State regulatory agencies should be captured and used to promote rightwing, and especially Southern, values. We can already see the great usefulness where this is already being done, in Florida, for example. Other Southern states must follow through. This really is a life-or-death struggle for our people. The managerial revolution is already here. However, what is not set in stone is how the managerial class behaves. It can be, and has been, used for rightwing aims.
Dixie must utilize the managerial state to survive (for the time being), until a more efficient system can be implemented. Leveraging the managerial system, we can eventually create the necessary conditions to finally achieve independence for the South.

On the Far Right, there’s a segment that pursues “Christian Identity,” or “CI.” They’ve, in the tradition of the “Heliand,” reinterpreted Scripture to say that they are descendants of the lost tribes of Israel. Denmark was of “Dan” in their parlance. The British Royal family LARPs as Israelites, so I suppose they’re in good company.
One of the reasons CI gains traction is because it’s partially rooted in truth. You can’t deny that Europeans took to Christianity and Christianity took to Europeans. Our ancestors fulfilled the Gospel Mission of carrying the Word to all corners of the World. If God played favorites, I think we know who His favorite son would be.
“I will also give Thee for a light to the Gentiles,” spoke God to Isaiah. We’re more apt to view ourselves as the light than the Gentiles. There’s a fundamental lack of humility and Grace there, but it’s not without some meritorious points.
Christendom and Europe are synonymous. In the old days of the United States and Europe, a non-European was described as “not a Christian man.” We called men from the Middle East “Saracens” or “Mohammedans.” For all of the missteps and bad things that were done in Europe and its colonies, the quiet, fervent faith of the common man has preserved it, despite whatever errors occurred.
The Book of Common Prayer, in the 1611 formation, has prayers for the monarch. But those prayers are sparse against the prayers for the well-being of the common man. Christ came to save all men, but His time on Earth was spent mostly with the common man. The fruit of the common man’s labor are the Christian societies in which we’ve lived up until the past 50 years.
These societies were made in humility and faith of the race that God chose and ordained to carry His banner. One of my favorite essayists described Europeans as the “Christ-bearing Race.” I don’t think a more apt descriptor has been found. He’s since departed the mortal coil to the embrace of our salvation and faith and is doubtlessly walking with Him as we muster on here.
We should embrace our Christian Identity. Christianity and Europe are synonymous and should be. We’re not a lost tribe of Israel. We were the adopted son that pleased his master greatly through loyalty, fervor, and virtue. We are the apple of His eye, and we should always strive to be worthy of His admiration.

I was reading Kaisar’s recent piece this morning and found myself wondering when all of this is going to give way. By “all of this,” I mean everything from the demographic collapse of the civilized world to the misadventures abroad and the financial chicanery our lives are premised upon. I think there’s a collective sense among Heritage Americans that something really bad is going to happen. Our problems are existential, and none can be reformed or even discussed honestly given the fact that Jews control our system of power.
If a system is unsustainable and can’t be reformed, well then something really bad is going to eventually happen. You don’t have to be a doomsayer to recognize the grim logic. I’m a doomsayer, obviously. I went crazy years ago and so I’ve been at it for quite some time now. People expect it out of me and none of the articles I’ve written on the subject ever receive criticism unlike some of the stuff I’ve written on Ukraine, for example. I don’t mind criticism; I’m just saying I sense that many readers agree with me on this one.
I think emotionally, we all want to have some sort of denouement that eventually leads to our problems being solved and we feel like the tension keeps building towards that moment. From a logical perspective, one can surmise we’re moving inexorably towards it, so that doesn’t help anything. Also, things just get crazier and crazier. To use colloquial terminology, shit just keeps popping off and getting more buck wild.
So, emotionally, we desire to just get on with it although this only happens on a subconscious level since, on a conscious level, we want to be able to go to a store in order to procure cigarettes and hard liquor. That would be a tough proposition if the economy collapses.
In terms of the stock market, nothing has happened yet outside of acceptable parameters. It’s a mechanism that’s controlled through certain benchmarks, which act as circuit breakers to shut it down if things start dropping precipitously. After that, trades can be cancelled and other measures taken. So, I don’t know what would actually happen in the next crisis, just that we move from crisis to crisis due to the nature of our system.
In terms of a giant conflagration, we’ve been dodging bullets basically. Apparently, the Ukrainian intelligence service had an operation in the works to assassinate both Putin and his new defense secretary Belousov in Saint Petersburg during the parade for Russia’s Navy Day back in July. If one weirdo managed to nearly nail Trump right in the face with a bullet, Ukrainian operatives equipped with the best technology available stood a chance of success against targets out in the wide open reviewing a naval parade.
The Russians clearly seemed to think so, prompting Belousov to call Lloyd Austin personally to warn that this would trigger World War 3 and list the American and European targets that would be hit in the initial retaliation. This is a scenario they must’ve been gaming out for years.
From the Ukrainian perspective, they’re already in World War 3 and don’t have much to lose from such a gambit. American officials on the other hand, realize that assassinating Putin would be extremely counterproductive despite the rhetoric about this being his “war of choice.” So, they probably weren’t informed about the plot, which the Russians probably assumed, and thus Lloyd Austin received the World War 3 phone call.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov last spoke on June 25. Friday's call sought to lower the risk of “possible escalation” of hostilities in Europe, Russia's defense ministry said in a statement. https://t.co/iOiXhKDyMg

This incident underscores the fact that Jewish aggression has led to the setting up of situations where things can escalate at the initiative of someone other than the Jews in Washington DC. This has created very dangerous possibilities for us here in the US of A that didn’t exist back with they were doing the Global War on Terror. The other problem is that all of their misadventures intersect with what the insane, retarded Jews are doing over in Israel, and we’ll have to defend Israel with our lives no matter what it does. This much has been made clear to the world by our officials.
So, we get a situation where the United States is able to help the Ukrainians launch a suicidal incursion into Russia with the Kursk nuclear power plant plainly as its target and embarrass Putin, who warned that he can also provide third parties with weapons to cause problems for the United States and then say that he isn’t responsible for what these third parties do with the weapons, just like the American Empire has been doing to Russia with Ukraine.
He does have a track record of warning that he will do something and then doing it if his warning is unheeded. This incursion into Kursk is terrific for Western media propaganda but very bad for Putin who will be forced to do something drastic in order to mollify domestic fury and save face after all the humiliating footage of shocked Russian border guards surrendering.

It’s the equivalent of hitting someone in the face and then laughing at him without considering that you’re hitting a strong man in the face who can hit you back in the face, which would really hurt. The Jewishness of such behavior is something ordinary Americans can’t wrap their heads around in order to understand our foreign policy. A normal person lacks the hubris and aggression of a Jew, and thus can’t comprehend it.
So, sophisticated Russian systems are apparently being delivered to both Iran and Syria to use against Israel which assassinated the leader of Hamas with a bomb on a diplomatic compound in Tehran in an act of such astounding provocation only a Jew could do it. These Jews in Israel did this to spark a conflict with Iran in order to drag in the United States and make a statement that there would be no negotiated solution to the current crisis in the Middle East.
The Russians understand that this is where they can land a fatal blow against the Empire without having to strike directly and start World War 3. What happens to the markets when gas prices shoot through the roof and Iran puts its ability to defend itself and retaliate against Uncle Sam on full display? If the Houthis can put a hurtin’ on international shipping, what about Iran? How would manipulation be able to maintain the illusion of stability in the markets? These are all reasonable questions we might, unfortunately, begin finding out the answers to very soon.

Jobs report is down. Unemployment is up even by official numbers. Labor force participation rate is declining.
The stock market is trending down. Many high profile rich people are making exit moves, even from major stocks, such as Apple.
Other countries around us are declining economically, such as Japan. The entire world is taking financial hit.
But perhaps the most worrying sign is that the elite have even unleashed the infamous R word: recession. They have publicly said that it “might” be coming. Which means they are going to release something worse soon, because we’ve obviously already been in a recession for years at this point.
All of this together, along with the regional conflicts, and I’m not sure the stock market still has long to go before a major correction.
As usual, we are waiting for the spark. We don’t know when that will be, but we know it’s coming.
The warning indicators are getting louder by the day. So, I encourage all of you to make your moves now. Do what you need to do to be in a stable economic situation now. Don’t wait. Get some cash out, buy some tangible goods (TCAs), exit risky stock positions, and so on.
You don’t want to be holding the bag when this all falls. And it’s usually a good indicator to get out when the billionaires are getting out.
Which, worryingly, was just this past week.
The foundational crack is showing. It just might be time to get out of the house before it crashes.

As a former liberal, conservative, and libertarian and, for years, a “behind the scenes” political activist, I am happy to say that I have now freed myself from politics and voting. It’s one of the most beneficial choices I’ve ever made!
I used to spend endless hours watching and reading my preferred political sources, mining information I could use to better argue with others I hoped to evangelize to my team, only to realize each election that it had all been for nothing. Things would turn out the same whether I spent 24/7 on politics or did nothing. And no matter what I did, I never had the people in power I desired. I was told voting was my voice, but it seemed no one would listen. I was frustrated, exhausted, anxious, angry, depressed, and more due to my involvement in politics.
Transformation –The OldPerhaps it began while I was a teenager. I remember watching the elections on the news, seeing everyone, win or lose, “come together” and celebrate democracy after each election and being enthralled by the peaceful change of power, as if the only other option was war. What stuck out to me most was the losing side praising democracy and shrugging off the loss of the election. The side that just spent four years bashing the other as evil was now calmly accepting their victory and control over them. They then had the audacity to claim this was self-government simply because people participated in an election that did not produce the government they desired. In fact, even had their side won, it would often only amount to the lesser of two evils.
I never understood how, just because one team achieved more votes, that justified them ruling over the minority party. Was it not political (and military) numerical superiority that led to many forms of evil in the past? Why do we keep handing majorities the reins of government? It seems to ask for more persecution of minorities. In other words, under democracy, there must always be a victim, and we are placed at war with each other, fighting to deny the other their own government of choice. nineteenth-century libertarian and abolitionist Lysander Spooner correctly observed:
[Under Democracy], a man finds himself environed by a government that he cannot resist; a government that forces him to pay money, render service, and forego the exercise of many of his natural rights, under peril of weighty punishments. He sees, too, that other men practice this tyranny over him by the use of the ballot. He sees further that, if he will but use the ballot himself, he has some chance of relieving himself from this tyranny of others, by subjecting them to his own. In short, he finds himself, without his consent, so situated that, if he use the ballot, he may become a master; if he does not use it, he must become a slave. And he has no other alternative than these two.
The NewSpooner’s last two sentences offer a grim choice, but I have dug into some concerning data that has nevertheless pushed me out of politics in recent years. Studies verified at numerous universities over decades corroborate these facts (and much more). Politics is degrading to the mind. When politics are injected into our thought process, we can no longer handle information and evaluate it unbiasedly; this occurs whether you are on the Right or Left. Our most common fallacy is confirmation bias, which hinders us from challenging our own views. We only watch media, read newspapers and books, listen to podcasts, etc., that tell us what we desire to hear. Studies revealed that we receive pleasure responses in the brain similar to caffeine or nicotine while watching our preferred news sources as they demonize the “other” group and justify our own; it becomes an addiction for many.
When we are presented with data that conflicts with our predetermined position, we reinterpret or dismiss it. Media are selling products, and people want only their views confirmed, so we separate into various groups and dehumanize those outside of us, enter tribal good vs evil thinking, and blame life ills on “those people,” the other groups. Politics divides families, churches, and entire nations. The injection of politics has increased wars, crime and the persecution of minorities wherever it has been introduced. It increases anger, stress, and hatred among citizens. Professor Jason Brennan wrote that the majority of regular voters:
…consume political information, although in a biased way. They tend to seek out information that confirms their preexisting political opinions but ignore, evade, and reject out of hand evidence that contradicts or disconfirms their preexisting opinions… cherry-pick data and tend only to learn about research that supports their own views… Their political opinions are part of their identity, and they are proud to be a member of their political team. For them, belonging to the Democrats or Republicans… matters to their self-image in the same way being a Christian or Muslim matters to religious people’s self-image. They tend to despise people who disagree with them, holding that people with alternative worldviews are stupid, evil, selfish, or at best, deeply misguided. Most regular voters, active political participants, activists, registered party members, and politicians [fulfill this description].”
Other studies demonstrate that typical voters are nearly oblivious to what is occurring and what they are voting for; they often vote against the very thing they desire! Trivial events occurring at or near the time of the elections, such as the success of local sports teams, often influence how we vote, not logical reasoning. Instead, most voters identify with a group or a political party due to emotional ties and how they choose to self-identify.
LiberationYou have a greater chance of winning the Powerball three times in a row than of your vote changing the outcome of an election, state, federal, or local. Instead of this fact depressing me, it had a liberating effect. It meant I did not have to spend all my time and energy on something that would not produce any positive outcome.
Removing myself from politics helped free up time and energy, lowered anxiety and stress, helped me be less judgmental and allowed me to think more logically. I no longer have to conform my thoughts and opinions to what a chosen “group” and its outlets tell me to; I can now think for myself. No longer must I be at war with half the country, nor despise them or think them ignorant for disagreeing with me.
So, what do I do with all the time I previously spent yelling at the television and obsessing about politics? I spend it with family, I work out, and I am in much better shape. This has boosted my self-esteem and reduced stress. I am also far less angry and anxious; Doomsday is not coming next election despite what fear-mongering politicians and news channels tell me. I could pick fishing or gardening back up, and I can read for enjoyment! One thing I won’t be doing is voting or attempting to force my way on others; instead, I will follow the golden rule and treat others the way I want them to treat me. I do not want others to use government coercion and power to force me to do what I don’t desire or support what I would otherwise not, and even though they will continue to do that, from now on I choose to turn the other cheek and not repay evil for evil.

Many of our readers are of English stock. As for myself, I have deep connections in the British Isles. One of my grandfathers was a man of great importance in Bath, England, and his son was at one time the commander of the British Army in India. My bloodlines are also deeply connected to Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, as is the case for most of us born in Dixie. And though we may tease our brothers across the pond, they are still our kinsmen, and although we have fought each other on occasion, we have also fought side by side to defend that island.
The reign Queen Elizabeth II precipitated the dissolution of the once mighty British Empire, an empire on which the sun never set. And during her reign, her government allowed many of her subjects from various non-European colonies to immigrate into the United Kingdom, completely obliterating the social cohesion of her realm. Now, the native English make up just a little over seventy percent of the current population, Muhammad is regularly the most popular newborn boys name, and Indian food is the go-to for many Brits. A once very Christian nation is plagued with significant and powerful minorities of Hindus and Mohammedans.
Neither of these populations need to be on our island, nor on the Celtic island to the west. They have brought nothing but ill upon the native inhabitants, and though the very polite English have endured much up till now, all with a stiff upper lip, their patience is at an end. Despite those early waves of Third World immigrants assimilating at first, as their numbers grew, so did their disrespect for the culture they were politely received into. Now that they have large populations, especially in some of the bigger cities, such as London and Birmingham, they have transformed places once very English into areas that bears no resemblance to the native culture. Rather, London is routinely called Londistan in recognition of its large Muslim presence.
Throughout England, Muslims, with hundreds of mosques in which to pray, block the streets in vast numbers in the call to prayer, and this is repeated throughout Europe. Loudspeakers blast these prayers throughout neighborhoods. England is being conquered by Islam. And the English have sat around and let it happen, because they have rejected, in practice, Christianity. Power abhors a vacuum, and when there is a lack of a Christian spiritual presence, the demonic fills the void.
For decades, the English have watched as foreigners have displaced them in employment, government benefits, and the preference of their own leaders. Waves and waves of economic refugees, distasteful migrants of every ilk have stormed ashore to plunder the realm’s treasury. And in return for their kindness, the English have seen their daughters groomed and raped, sons murdered, even watched as a little girl was beheaded in front of her parents. Recently, three little girls were stabbed to death, many others wounded, during a dance class. The assailant was a Rwandan man in his early 20’s, however, to add insult to the injury, he was portrayed as a harmless 12-year-old boy in all the dominant media.
And that’s when it happened, that is when the English began to hate!
Our brothers are finally pushing back against the hordes of Orcish folk treacherously imported by leaders on both sides of the political spectrum, and they are demanding an end. Some of the protests have been violent, and completely legitimate as a means of self-defense. As expected, they have been met with resistance by both the Islamists and a corrupt security state. But there is no turning back, for once you have set your hands to the plow, you must continue. Pause or hesitation will just be seen as weakness.
My hope is that a truly Christian king will once again sit upon the throne, casting out those wishing to conquer Fortress Britannia. Until that time, let me help you recall one of the most prescient poems for our
time.
Dwell on its words, and grab hold of the throne of heaven in your prayers, both for your kinsmen and that sacred isle.
The Beginnings
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.Rudyard Kipling
De Vindice!
God save the King!

As a father to many daughters, I have watched the incremental increase of girl power narratives over the decades. What began as tough females looking to fit in with male partners in the early 90s became female physical supremacy in film by the mid 2010s. No longer are women depicted as feisty characters. They are now the “girl boss” (often with a wimpy male counterpart) who routinely beats up men. For at least two decades, girls have been taught an unrealistic understanding of physical capacity and biology. “Girls can be just as strong as men…” The fact is, they cannot. By God-given design, women are physically weaker than men, and the Olympics are proving this reality on a global stage.
I blame the global “Girl Power”/Gender Equality craze for the reason that biological females are getting pummeled by an Algerian “man-woman” named Imane Khelif in Olympic boxing. Women believed the lie that they could compete with men in physical trials. Correspondingly, when males began entering female athletic competitions dressed as women, naive women supported their inclusion. Whereas normal people knew this was a bad idea, the introduction of biological males has decimated female sports and yet, women activists still support trans-athletes. (Khelif is supposedly not trans, but some kind of hormonal mutant).
At issue, in my opinion, is that we now have a trap of societal design. It is no longer about transgenderism or transgender inclusivity. It is now a direct confrontation between ideological feminism and physiological truth. If women begin to take measures to exclude biological males from sports, they will be admitting that biological males are physically superior to women. Anyone with daughters or half a brain knows this irrefutable fact. But such a step would destroy the girl power mythology that social engineers have constructed for three decades. An exclusion is an admission that they were wrong.
Inevitably, every time I have said females are physically weaker than males, I get one of two responses: (A) a female athlete/body builder is stronger than most men and/or (B) someone knew some girl who beat up some boy. These logical fallacies are predicated on outliers and inconsistent comparisons. Yes, a female body builder may be stronger than most men (which men?) – but she will never be stronger than a male body builder. Meanwhile, it is possible that an average female can beat up an average male, but such an occurrence says more about him than her. Either he refused to hit a girl (good guy) or he happened to be a pathetic weakling. Either way, these outliers do not disprove physiological limitations. Those limitations have been on full display in swimming pools, boxing rings, and running tracks around the world.
All of this gets back to the “Equality Myth.” Women are not – nor ever will be – equal to men. They are simply different. They are not designed by God to be the same. The two immutable sexes are built to complement one another, not compete. A major factor in the feminist equality narrative is part of a broader Cultural Marxist war on the family and God. “Women don’t need men… we are equal… we are just as tough…” The end results of female equality narratives are ever expanding populations of older single women and reduced birth rates.
None of what I am stating is a license to mistreat or abuse women. In fact, it is the opposite. We – men and women – should simply recognize our differences and work together as couples, parents, spouses, grandparents, etc., to support enduring partnerships. That can begin with discarding girl power imagery and entertainment. It is time for women to get back to recognizing reality (and the kitchen).

The United Kingdom has been up in flames over the recent Muslim killing of three innocent little British girls. I’ve been calling this the “European Lives Matter” protests. This fits since they are actually protesting what BLM pretended to protest (the killing of their own innocents).
What happened was that a Muslim immigrant killed those three little girls, provoking the townspeople to justifiably lose their collective sh*t.
Slowly, one by one, various other British towns started to protest and riot against the immigration hordes coming in and murdering/raping their children with impunity. The entire country is now holding anti-immigration rallies.
The British are holding up signs declaring European lives matter and calling for remigration. Two great goals.
These ELM protests are totally peaceful, albeit a little fiery.
It seems that the Anglo-Saxon may finally have had enough of being abused in their own country. In favor of foreigners that hate them.
Obviously, these protests and especially the burning down of migration housing are long overdue. The British people had suffered under their corrupt leadership for too long. Their leaders, like our own, place more value on the lives of foreigners than the natives.
Britain is for the British. Every single foreigner should be deported. Even the ones that claim to be British through the touching of the magic dirt, but are still ethnically not British. Strip them of citizenship and send them all off on a boat.
They all have to go.
It seems the English are finally starting to realize this crucial fact:
This is simply a Christian truth. Peace is only possible through separation until Christ comes. Only then can the wolf and the lamb mingle (Isaiah 11). Until then, we need some fencing to keep them separate. Only a bad shepherd would let those two mix, which is exactly what our leadership has done to us the world-over in every Western European nation.
It goes without saying that I am fully in support of the British fighting the good fight over there. I only wish we had similar here in the States. I am a tad jealous, honestly.
But, this is still great news for every nationalist and every dissident everywhere. One nation making gains and fighting back is a benefit to us all. May God grant them success.
Also, to all of you who constantly consume the black pill, quit the cope. Look at these protests: There is still fighting spirit in us Europeans, even after decades of them trying to stomp it out.
Us Euros have a very long fuse. But once it runs out, it is always a much greater detonation than any other people can create. That much history guarantees. I do not think the Brits are quite at the point yet, but this is a marker that they are nearing it.
These protests are a straight whitepill proving that point.
I hope you will join me in praying for their safety and their success. ELM has a long way to go. But, God willing, Britain will be returned to the British.

It has become something of a meme, but it is indeed true that the American ruling class is very old. Sure, Joe Biden (81) has dropped out of the race, even if he remains president, at least for now, but Schumer (73), Donald Trump (78), Mitch McConnell (82), and Nancy Pelosi (84) all remain. Kamala Harris is being treated as if she’s an injection of new blood but, in reality, she’s hardly young. She is currently 59 and will be 60 before the election. To put this into context, just 24 years ago, George W. Bush was 54 when he was first elected, and he was hardly seen as a particularly young president at the time. So, yes, not only is the Empire’s ruling political class old, but it has also been getting older over the past decades.
Memes aside, this is one of the most important developments in the history of the United States. Far from just being a case of Boomers refusing to give up power much to the frustration of Gen Xers and Millennials, it is actually a sign of an empire’s last days. The Soviet Union suffered from the same geriatric rule. The ruling class of the Soviet Union during its decline was comprised of people born under the Tsar or during the very early days of the Soviet Union. Much like Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev was 54 when he rose to power in 1985. And much like Harris, despite not being young by any reasonable measure, Gorbachev’s rise was considered an invigorating force. And the rest of the Soviet ruling class was even worse. In the 70-year history of the USSR, Gorbachev was the only ruler to be born after the Soviet founding.
There is a very good reason the Soviet ruling class was so old during its last days – the only people who truly believed in the Soviet ideology were the people who were alive during its early days, with its false promises to rid the rule of oppression. But during its terminal stage, it ran out of those people; all that were left were subsequent generations that knew those early communist promises were as empty as a Potemkin village. The Soviet system offered nothing but brutality, corruption, and suppression. And when the older generations finally died out, leaving nothing but generations who found the Soviet promises laughable at best, the entire system collapsed.
A similar situation has arisen in the United States. There is a reason why so many of the ruling class came of age before 1970 – that was the last generation that largely believed in the promises of “America.” They lived in an overwhelmingly White country with a thriving middle class. They had every expectation that if the United States went to war, it would win. Traditional heroes such as Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Robert E. Lee were near universally admired. Christianity was seen as an indispensable societal bedrock.
But those who came of age after 1970 have faced a far different reality. We live in an era of White demographic decline, and with that, increased cultural and physical attacks on Whites. We have known nothing but a decline in middle class fortunes – at first slowly, but then rapidly. We have never known the United States to win a significant war, with the sole exception of the Persian Gulf War, and even then, the American military had very limited aims. Meanwhile, Columbus is now considered a brutal colonizer, Washington and Jefferson are evil slave owners, and Jackson was a slave owner and Indian killer to boot. Lee is now the quintessential traitor in American (Yankee) culture. Nothing else is needed to be known about these men. And far from being a bedrock of civilization, Christianity is viewed as a societal cancer that is openly mocked and ridiculed.
The United States in the 2020s is much like the USSR in the 1980s – it has finally run out of people who actually believe in it, and it has now ceased to function. Despite whatever smoke and mirrors the Empire can throw up, if anything, the current situation of the American Empire is even worse than the late-stage Soviet Union. Although the Soviet ideology may have been well passed its “sell-by date” in the 1980s, at the very least, ethnic Russians still demographically dominated the nation. Hence, when the Soviet experiment fell apart, they could fall back on the old Russia – the one of the Tsar and Orthodoxy. This has all taken years to play out, and the old Russia appears to be slowly reemerging from the ashes of the Soviet Union because, despite the horrors of communist rule, they did not demographically destroy the country. But this is not true for the United States. The United States has suffered one of the greatest demographic shifts in human history, especially during peacetime.
Unlike Russia, the United States has no such luck – the rapid demographic shift brought on by the 1965 Immigration Act and the unholy alliance between anti-White activists and Big Business to replace the old demographic core of the nation has created a point of no return. Thus, in contrast to Russia, there is nothing for the United States to fall back on. The only solution left is to entirely reject the concept of the United States and build an identity around something more permanent and less abstract: a Dixie identity, not an American one. It is only through an explicitly Dixian understanding of our nation can we recover.
The United States has nothing to offer us. Whatever one might say about the old American Union, either before the crushing of Dixian independence in 1865 or Southern home rule in 1965, that Union is gone and is not coming back. It has shifted too much to ever bounce back to sanity and normalcy. With Dixian nationalism, we can survive the coming collapse – because the South is a nation not based on ideology, as in the case of both the Soviet Union and the American “propositional nation,” but one centered on blood and soil, of a particular people living in a particular place. The United States is in its last days, the problems of the post-1970 order have finally caught up with the Empire.
But Dixie, by offering a new vision and one more similar to the ethnic nationalism of Europe, can thrive.
The United States is dead, long live Dixie!

“I have been young, and now I am old…”
Psalms 37:25 KJV
These words ring true, for I was once young with all the vigor and passion of youth, my mind and eyes full of hope for the future ahead. And now I am old with the reflection and, hopefully, the wisdom that comes with age.
When you’re young, your desire is to be in love, a magical energy consuming every cell into exuberance! Most of us fall in and out of “love” many times in our youth. It is a joyful time, although, mostly but momentary infatuations of the flesh. Wonderfully, it is also a most necessary adolescent step towards understanding true and lasting love.
Although I had dated a few young ladies – all of them wonderful with special qualities that any young man would find attractive – none of them was “the one.” That special designation was reserved providentially for the young lady that would become my wife. Although we lived on the same side of town, went to the same places teenagers loitered, and had many common friends, our paths seemed to never cross. In retrospect, surely, I’d passed by her home at least a hundred times or more, but I never noticed her. Life is like that. God is like that, only revealing the exact moment of the future He has planned for His children when everything is in its place.
For nearly nineteen years, I was unaware of her existence, but then everything changed.
There she was, as if the angels had placed her before me in a flash of light. An epiphanal beauty appearing before my eyes. For the very first time, my heart awakened in rapturous love. Most people find love at first sight hard to believe, but when it does appear, it is fantastical! Truly, our meeting was by divine appointment, a providential intrusion into both our lives’ trajectories. And because of this intrusion, my heart, mind, and soul were translated. I was instantly teleported into a future in which this beautiful angelic being was the axis, humanly speaking, of everything going forward. I would like to say the immediate experience for her part was mutual, however, that would be more than a stretch of the facts.
Through all that marriage gifted us: children, grandchildren, health and sickness, poverty and wealth, our love has endured. Sometimes, we’ve been fire-hot in passionate romance, and other times fire-hot in anger at each other. I will admit that most of those later times were brought on by my youthful impetuous nature. Through it all, sometimes to the point of exhaustion, we have been by each other’s side, now for over forty years. And the most important thing we have learned over those four decades is that giving up is not an option. Our family, our little tribe is Plan A, and there is no Plan B.
God’s world is beautiful – all of it – and, from time to time, those beauties may entice us away, but they are just distractions from our true love.
Brothers and Sisters, recall that first time you fell in love with Dixie, that transcendent moment when you realized how special, beautiful, and timeless your home was. Remember back to the first time you understood how deep your roots were in her soil. Recall the fragrance of the air after a summer thunderstorm, playing in leaves or pine straw in the fall, the crisp air and a light snow of early winter, and most, especially, envision every flower blooming from her soil and the playfulness of everything fresh and young each spring.
Our love for our land and our people is a marriage; there are times of bliss and times of sorrow, but this is our home, and it is Plan A. There is no Plan B. We will persevere.
The last part of this psalm gives us great hope in these troublesome times: “…yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.“
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

While events in the Middle East teeter on the brink, there’s still that thing going on in Eastern Europe involving hundreds of thousands of combatants along a line of contact that would stretch from the White House all the way down to the middle of Florida.
This would be the easiest way for Americans to conceptualize it, because in terms of our history there really isn’t anything comparable and the U.S. military doesn’t have the capability to fight such a conflict or the complex to keep it supplied at that scale for years on end. My friends with silver oak leaves don’t even know how to properly interpret what they’re looking at and assume we could trounce the Russians in Ukraine overnight like it’s Iraq back in 2003. The ignorance is that atrocious.
Western media and governments have been lying to their populations about what’s been going on this entire time. The narrative keeps changing and most somehow keep believing it. However, there are certain consistencies. One is that it began with Putin launching a “full-scale invasion” or “all-out invasion.” Google either phrase and you’ll turn up with endless articles and videos on Ukraine. One of these phrases is still used in basically any mainstream article on the subject.
From the moment that Putin launched his full-scale invasion, Ukrainian women have stepped up in every conceivable way to defend their country, to defend their communities, to defend their families, including in combat. — @SecBlinken pic.twitter.com/qzG4hKrtAL
— Department of State (@StateDept) July 10, 2024
Pretty much everyone in our sphere of content understands that when they’re all saying the same thing in unison, that’s usually a glaring admission that they’re lying. Another consistent canard is that the entire reason for this war is the Soviet territorial ambitions of Vladimir Putin. That’s why it’s constantly referred to as “one man’s war of choice” or “Putin’s war of choice,” the implication being that there was no imperative for Russia to fight and it could just stop at any time.

He did, both sides signed an agreement in Istanbul that the U.S. government ordered the Ukrainians to then ignore. Prior to that, two agreements were signed in Europe to prevent a conflict, but they were done in bad faith and reneged on by the Ukrainians as well.What’s changed is that everyone was first assured that Russia was losing very badly. I had lunch a couple years ago with an officer in DC who told me the Russians were sending conscripts forward without rifles to get blasted in order to identify Ukrainian positions. The fact that professionals would believe the turkey shoot nonsense was something I found deeply disturbing. Moreover, it was also taken for granted that Russia’s economy was on the verge of collapse due to sanctions.
They’ve had to admit that Russia’s economy is nowhere near collapse. However, the turkey shoot is still ongoing if you believe the media. Initially, it was all about how the Russian Army would disintegrate in the face of Ukrainian offensives, turning out not to be true three times. Finally, the general admission was made that the situation was developing poorly for Ukraine.
Yet, this was coupled with the canard that the Russians were doing suicidal “banzai charges” to turn the tide. This allowed the narrative to be salvaged a bit by implying that while things weren’t going well for Ukraine, they were inflicting massive lopsided casualties on the Russians. In other words, we were still winning in a way instead of being lied to the entire time.
The other consistent narrative is that the Russians haven’t made much territorial progress beyond areas already held by Russian militias prior to the outset of the Special Military Operation back in 2022. This one is highly problematic in the sense that it’s actually true. So, Russia has been fighting for roughly 2.5 years with very little ground taken. This metric makes it quite easy to mislead the public that they’re being held off by the Ukrainians instead accomplishing an ongoing fulfillment of the primary strategic objective at this stage of the SMO. I’ll explain that later, but first some primer:
In Donbass, the Ukrainians are defending what was the Soviet version of the Maginot Line for Moscow which had been expanded by NATO since the coup in Kiev back in 2014. Ukraine is one of the most bunkered locations on Earth and many of the military positions were built to survive a preemptive nuclear strike so the defenders could emerge and fight off a NATO invasion. On top of that, is all of the facilities meant originally for civilian use, like the Azovstal bunker underneath the massive industrial facility in Mariupol where the Ukrainians were able to hold out during a lengthy siege.
It’s also critical to understand that between the Ukrainians and the Russians are the world’s most extensive minefields. It’s suicidal to assault through these fields in the style of battle used in World War Two, especially since any advance must be conducted in full view of the enemy out in the open, where it’s vulnerable to drones and artillery. The Russians don’t bother for these obvious reasons, but the Ukrainians were forced to do it in offensives that achieved nothing. I’ve seen the drone footage on Russian Telegram channels. It’s sickening.
Back to the current primary objective: the Russian strategy has been to allow the flow of units and supplies eastward where they can be more easily destroyed, rather than crippling Ukraine and stranding them all over a vast country. Part of this strategy has been to create certain kill boxes the Ukrainians are compelled to defend at great cost, such as Bakhmut and Adeevka.
In these areas, firepower can be concentrated as corridors are cynically kept open for them to constantly feed men into the grinder. For instance, before Adeevka fell, it was being pounded with 200 metric tons of glide bombs every day by SU-34s dropping from a safe distance. This sort of operation can’t be conducted if the Ukrainians are spread out further to the west. It’s a facilitated slaughter.
Also, key to this strategy is killing the Ukrainians with “a thousand cuts” (more Western media unison terminology) whereby they’re kept guessing with probing attacks and feints all along the line. There’s a grim logic to the Russian strategy if one can divorce himself from the cold horror of it all. The end game is that Ukraine is depleted of manpower and NATO is depleted of supplies and equipment to send. Ukrainian casualties are in the ballpark of 1 million. Much of the equipment sent by NATO isn’t manufactured anymore or is produced in boutique quantities. Likewise with the munitions.
When this is over, Russia can take whatever it wants without further loss of life rather than making unnecessary sacrifices fighting in an all-out war like it’s been claimed they’re doing. For example, it’s essential for them to take Odessa, a Russian city on the Black Sea. By any other strategy, they’d have to cross the Dnieper River and supply a large army across this river in operations to take Odessa, creating exposed choke points and supply lines that would be extremely vulnerable.
Furthermore, sieges such as Fallujah and Mariupol have demonstrated that taking a city in a modern war requires laying waste to the city. Besides Mariupol, the major cities that Russia needs to take are full of Russians and will be returning to Russia. Destroying them is counterproductive and requires the Russians to take heavy casualties. That’s why Russia avoids doing so wherever possible and, when it’s not, PMCs and volunteer units such as the Chechens and local militias are utilized.
In the meantime, this lack of progress on a map is very useful for deceiving the Western public. It’s used to create the current narrative that Ukraine can’t win but Russia has taken massive losses without making much progress so a deal will have to be made to end the conflict where the two sides currently stand. This is nonsense in actuality.

We’re being fed it because this outcome would be the best case for the neocon Jews who forced Putin to pull the trigger back in 2022 under the misguided belief that the sanctions introduced would collapse the Russian economy while it was stuck in a Ukrainian quagmire and lead to the breakup of the federation. Freezing the lines where they are in Donbass would be the best position for when the conflict is revived. If the Ukrainians are west of the Dnieper River, a new conflict would be a non-starter.
The neocon plan was never to defeat Russia in Ukraine. This would’ve been a risibly idiotic proposition. That was just the narrative they came up with after the original plan to collapse it with sanctions failed and nobody wanted to admit that there wasn’t another plan if the first one failed. They’ve just kept lying and probably hoping for the best this entire time.
The Russians have made it clear that they have no intention of freezing the conflict so it can be revived by NATO at a later date. They’re capable of sustaining their operations for as long as they need to collapse Ukraine if the Ukrainians are unwilling to meet their terms. So, this narrative will turn out to be false like each of the others.
The knot is tightening in the Middle East. Sorry for the innocent lives lost. They are but hostages of a disgusting state: the USA.
Meanwhile, it’s clear to everyone that a full-scale war is the only way to a shaky peace in the region.— Dmitry Medvedev (@MedvedevRussiaE) July 31, 2024
There was some risk of escalation and speculation about how far NATO might be willing to go to scare the Russians into halting the SMO in order for the neocons to salvage something of their project in the future. This all was out the window when the retarded Jews over in Israel went off the deep end last October. That wasn’t part of the neocon plan, either. Uncle Sam has a different priority now.
At this point, the Ukrainians are suffering what’s estimated to be between 1,000 to 2,000 casualties per day to overwhelming Russian firepower, which includes thousands of glide bomb sorties every month. The toll for July is somewhere around 60,000. A big question is how long they’re willing to sustain such losses if this was known to the general public in Ukraine, along with the fact that they stand no chance of victory. Conscription is often a forcible process, with many being dragged off the streets and citizens setting the vehicles of the conscription officers on fire.
The Ukrainians I know seem to think they can still win eventually, although this is hardly a scientific measurement of public sentiment. At the same time, the Russian public isn’t suffering any more than the American public during the Global War on Terror and they know they’re winning in a fight to defend Russia. I’ve got friends on both sides, so it’s an interesting dichotomy.
The endgame is either going to be a collapse of Ukraine and Russian territorial acquisition under rather chaotic circumstances or a settlement negotiated in Russia’s favor. Putin has said that a prerequisite for negotiations would be a willingness by the Ukrainian military to vacate all territory that’s now part of the Russian Federation. What he’d demand after that is uncertain. Russia is also positioned as the only party that can actually help Ukraine at any significant scale after the war, so that’s more leverage on his side.
What concessions he’d be willing to make are uncertain after such a lengthy struggle. He clearly finds negotiation preferable to expending Russian lives. That’s why agreements were concluded on three separate occasions. But, that was before 2.5 years of slaughter. He’s open about being foolish for trusting the West to abide by its word and Ukraine doesn’t get much of a say in this matter. It could be that it will be forced to fight as long as it can hold itself together. If it was up to the Ukrainians, this would’ve been over by March of 2022 according to the third agreement that they signed with Russia.
There’s also the potential that wrapping this up as soon as possible is preferrable to the Russians in the sense that they openly state that NATO is looking for World War 3, and would like to be getting prepared rather than extending themselves in Ukraine. The Rand Corporation produced a white paper titled Extending Russia back in 2019 that named bogging them down fighting in Ukraine as a great way to accomplish this one.
I don’t expect the American public to understand what ultimately transpired in this conflict. It’s leading to a rapid realignment of the global order, which will have domestic consequences that the average American won’t be able to conceptualize as being connected to what happened in a failed attempt to collapse the Russian Federation. This is a sharp contrast to a potential war on behalf of Israel, which would lead immediately to dead Americans and skyrocketing gas prices.
We’ll have to wait and see. Until then, many thousands will continue to perish for no good reason. When Jews are in control, a nation can only careen from one disaster to the next. That’s the sad reality for both the United States and Ukraine.

The 2024 Olympics were quite the demonic abomination this year.
Between the drag queens, the mockery of the Last Supper, the pagan imagery (especially of Dionysus), and the occult music playing, it is something I do not even want to cover.
You’ve all seen it anyway, so there is no need.
One meme never hurts, though.Instead, we’ll discuss the Iranian (and greater Islamic) response to it.
Get a load of this:
Iran calling out the blasphemy of Jesus Christ at the Paris ~~Degenerate~~ OlympicsAnd a direct tweet from the Iranian rulerYou know the whole Christianity situation is bad when the most ardent state defenders of Jesus Christ are literally Islamic nations.
I couldn’t help but laugh even while writing that last sentence. This clown world is so ridiculous.
Multi-decade military crusades have been launched over lesser offenses than this Olympic opening ceremony.
But instead of fighting it, our modern Christian leaders are so toothless they don’t even want to judge the demon leading the blasphemy. They’ve swallowed too much of the modern 1800s Christian degenerations. We’re surrounded by weak, ineffectual “Christians”. No wonder we are losing.
Jesus said in His Word that the world would honor Him; Even if no one existed to do so, the rocks themselves would cry out (Luke 19:40). Well, as it turns out, there are no Christian leaders nor Christian states crying out… So He decided on having the Muslims do it instead.
Which, frantically, I think is even more hilarious than if the rocks had to do so.
Think about it: Our mortal enemy—Christendom‘s arch-adversary since their very conception in the Middle East—is now the only state actor actively defending Christ on the world stage.
(For instance, the Book of Concord has a reference stating that the Ottoman Empire [encapsulating Muslims as a whole] was the “most atrocious, hereditary, and ancient enemy of the Christian name and religion”)
I wish I could go back and tell Aquinas, Calvin, Martin Luther, and/or some of the Popes that this day would arrive. Could you imagine what they’d say? They probably wouldn’t even believe it.
Growing up, I never thought I would be cheering on Muslims for defending Jesus against so-called “Christian” nations.
What a wild time to be alive.

The U.S. military isn’t what it used to be a couple decades ago when it toppled Saddam Hussein’s government. It was defended by a decrepit military with many commanders bribed not to fight in a covert operation leading up to the invasion. It was a spectacular sight to behold on television, but that part was left out to the American public.
So, it wasn’t quite the brilliant military achievement by which America’s future martial prospects should be measured. Iran or Russia would be a much different scenarios that we’d have zero prospect of emerging from triumphant. This doesn’t deter my friends with silver oak leaves from being upbeat about it, which is scary.
We were lied to that Saddam had something vaguely to do with 9/11 and also that he had a cache of WMDs which he’d use on the rest of the world because he was nefarious like a Bond villain or something. The evidence presented was not at all credible. It’s the first time that I can recall that everyone was told to believe some sort of drastic international action ought to be taken based on risible nonsense.
Netanyahu testified to Congress that this would have “enormous positive reverberations.” In fact, he “guaranteed” it. Freeing the people of Iraq was all about our national security, of course. After all these debacles, Netanyahu is still there along with the Jews in the United States who cooked up the plan. These are literally the exact same Jews behind the horror in Ukraine and all the other failures such as Libya and Syria.
These Jews, currently known as neocons in the United States and formerly Trotskyists in Russia, are totally incompetent strategists as evidence by the comprehensive failure of their projects. In the United States, they’re above accountability and accurate criticism so their objectives still constitute the bipartisan foreign policy of the American Empire regardless.
This is why we move from one debacle from the next as they continue to seek global Jewish domination with the United States as their mechanism, whereas before it was supposed to be the Soviet Union and communism. Stalin got rid of them, the surviving rats scuttled to America, and after the Soviet Union collapsed this current iteration of the plan sprang into action.
Over in Israel, Netanyahu has managed to keep riding the tiger through the support of a different group of Jews with more immediate desires. They make no pretense of blending into Western societies, openly espouse amoral and genocidal religious principles that the rest of the world would find shocking, commit massive atrocities that provoke global outrage, have hordes of children, and are essentially retarded. The children part is how they grew into the group calling the shots in Israel. It certainly wasn’t cunning or deception.
This leads to idiotic Israeli policy decisions, such as bringing the specter of general conflict to the Middle East through a genocide and simultaneous direct confrontation with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran while the resources of the American golem are stretched to the limit and its prestige depleted in a failed neocon project in Ukraine. It can’t even stop the Houthis from attacking shipping but they’re counting on it to deliver for them big time, so much so that they’ve bet the farm on this one.
Both were evil and stupid ideas, but one thing at a time, if either is to have the slightest prospect of success. If Russia had been knocked out in the Ukraine project as intended, the expansion of Israel and elimination of its enemies would’ve been much easier. The retarded Jews don’t think in broader terms like the neocons, though. In their minds, the goyim are there to serve and die for them, so we might as well get on with it.
Although Jews as a collective pursue conflicting goals, this is a clear example of different factions being unable to synchronize a priority. These Jews in Israel would never be able to prevail in Washington because they can’t hide what they are, while the more subtle neocon Jews don’t have the numbers anymore to keep a lock on how decisions are made in Israel. Both vastly overestimate the feasibility of their ambitions and capabilities of the U.S. military to achieve them, but the ones in Israel are much dumber in this regard.
As a quick primer, what’s happening to the Arabs in Gaza isn’t worth World War 3 to anyone. Even if all 2 million of them are killed, it still wouldn’t be worth it to kick off the big one. So, various governments might deplore what’s happening and make other impotent gestures but they’re not going to war over this matter alone except for the Houthis. Apparently, the Taliban wants to send fighters as well.
However, in Islamic countries, the populations are inflamed over what they’re forced to impotently watch on the sidelines. This compels leaders to make heated statements to try and mollify them. Leaders the world over say various things all the time purely for convenience.
Turkish President Erdogan's threat to invade Israel sparks intense reactions and sharp exchanges, drawing global media attentionhttps://t.co/sFLLFwM5u5
— Türkiye Today (@turkiyetodaycom) July 29, 2024
Erdogan is popular in Turkey but he’s presiding over a public anger about Gaza, and he can’t tell the public he’s not going to do anything substantial, especially as this would disrupt various lucrative arrangements Turkey has with Israel, so he employs empty rhetoric instead. He threatened to invade which isn’t going to happen, obviously.
So, now the Jews are threatening Erdogan with getting their golem Uncle Sam to do a Saddam Hussein on him, seemingly unaware that Uncle Sam isn’t in the shape he was back in 2003 and that Turkey is a much larger country than Iraq. Toppling the Turkish government and taking the place over wouldn’t even have been a feasible proposition back then, either.
Turkey also happens to be a pivotal member of NATO since it can invoke the Montreux Convention to prohibit most naval transit into the Black Sea if a war breaks out, which it did as soon as the Russians began the SMO back in 2022. Surely, NATO would love to have warships in there harassing the Russians, but Erdogan won’t let them in.
He’s also purchased the Russian S-400 rather than the Patriot AA system, forcing the United States to boot Turkey from the lucrative F-35 program. Erdogan refuses to participate in the attempt to strangle Russia economically, being poised to collect a lot of revenue from fees for a future Black Sea pipeline among other things.
Turkey isn’t a NATO vassal like Germany, which will take whatever abuse comes its way. Erdogan is the last person the neocon Jews want to be alienated completely from NATO. If they could get him to play ball it would cause significant problems for the Russians, but their fellow Jews in Israel can’t leave this one alone. It’s hilarious just how stupid they can get. They’re even lobbying to have Turkey kicked out of NATO:

If there’s going to be any salvaging of their global domination plan, some immediate things the neocon Jews need is for the hostilities in the Middle East to be negotiated to a conclusion, so they’d have more leverage in negotiating a settlement to freeze the conflict in Ukraine in their favor. What’s going on in the Middle East is an existential liability for the United States which the Russians could leverage in a variety of ways.
This is why we see all the coverage of potential negotiations over Ukraine in the Western media which ignore the cards held by the Russians. They’ve repeatedly stated they have no interest in freezing the conflict so it can be revived later by NATO but that won’t stop the Jews from trying as it’s the only possible way to stave off defeat.
Meanwhile, their fellow Jews in Israel just murdered the head of Hamas, who is considered the legitimate leader of Gaza in both Moscow and Beijing, on the soil of their critical ally Iran, while continuing to up the bombing of Lebanon. These Jews are rejoicing at finally being able to kill him after previously killing his family, which is a key aspect of their Satanic religion that they openly espouse as they’re doing it.

From an international policy perspective, this is an insane practice for the Jews in Israel to be conducting, and the neocon Jews get this part, but Western media won’t cover it like the Islamic and Chinese media do, so Americans don’t understand how much of the world perceives their actions. Celebrating the murder of children is bad form unless you’re a Jew and probably also living in Israel.
It’s also a great way to get the Russians and Chinese to realize their efforts to negotiate a truce are pointless and throw up their hands on the issue, allowing Iran to retaliate with greater force. Assassinating a key ally and invited guest to their presidential inauguration on their own soil might even be more provocative to the Iranians than the bombing of their embassy annex in Syria. This murder was a really dumb thing to do at essentially the worst time possible.

This is threatening to drag the United States further into the broadening conflict in the Middle East. We’re not going to be able to sit on the sidelines as these retarded Jews bring the temple down on their heads through blind ambition and bloodlust. It appears they’re held back only by their own restraint.
I’m quite skeptical that a call from the White House pleading “please stop with this you’re creating too big of a mess for America” would sway much with these particular Jews. I could be wrong, but I can’t explain how anything that transpired has been in the interests of America, that’s for sure.

The idea that Israel can eliminate all of its enemies and expand continuously without eventually triggering a conflict that brings it to an end is absurd. Likewise, the notion that through various schemes and manufactured conflicts both Russia and China can be eventually toppled in order to establish an American stranglehold on the planet through which the Jews can rule it. This is all evil and insane. That conflicting factions of Jews are trying to accomplish both at the same time just underscores this fact.
An escalation is looking more and more likely. If it does happen, historians will be looking back in hindsight amazed at just how idiotically these Jews in Israel behaved. Hopefully, our grandchildren will be around to read about it. But, who knows what happens to us after we get dragged in?

The first time I ever heard of Joseph Weydemeyer was way back in 1978 – ancient history now. A friend and mentor, Pastor Ennio Cugini, who was a Reformed Baptist pastor in Rhode Island and also a historian, sent me a picture from the Communist newspaper, the Daily World. It was an old photograph of well-known Marxist Joseph Weydemeyer in his Yankee officer’s uniform. The short commentary with the photo listed some of Weydemeyer’s Marxist accomplishments as well as his being an “officer in the Union Army.” That information in the Communist newspaper was my introduction to the fact that there had been communists and socialists that had infiltrated the ranks of Mr. Lincoln’s armies (with his blessings).
What passes for “history” in those humanist seminaries we still call public schools had never prepared me for that blunt fact, and I doubt if the vast majority of youngsters even in this day have the remotest clue that Abraham Lincoln welcomed communists and socialists into his military, or that the Republican Party of that day was full of them also.
My first thought, way back in 1978 was “What was this Communist doing in the Union Army?” Little did I know back then! I had no clue that Weydemeyer was far from being the only Communist there. It was nearly a decade before I was able to come up with any great amount of information about this, and when I did, what I found was the beginning of the book that Walter Kennedy and I co-authored, Red Republicans and Lincoln’s Marxists. This has recently been reprinted by Shotwell Publishing in South Carolina under the title Lincoln, Marx, and the GOP. Check it out.
There had been a couple books written about some of this way back in the mid-1950s, but they were pretty much out of print by the time I came along. So, Walter Kennedy and I had to do lots of digging for information about this. Thankfully, the internet was a big help. We learned all about the “Forty-Eighters” who were the socialist and communist revolutionaries that sought to make shipwreck of Europe in 1848-49. It turned out that when they couldn’t quite do that in Europe, though they gave it the good old college try, they came over here, often to escape prosecution in their native countries. Unfortunately, they often had more success here than in Europe. The research for the book Walter Kennedy and I wrote took over two years.
Since Weydemeyer was the earliest Communist who wore the Yankee blue I’d learned about I thought an article about him might be worthwhile because it would demonstrate how dedicated to the principles of Marxism those people really were (and still are). Our book noted of Weydemeyer that “Some of Weydemeyer’s more notable accomplishments in New York were the publication of Marx’s Communist Manifesto, assisting in organizing the New York Communist Club, and publishing a German language newspaper Die Revolution. Moving to St. Louis, Missouri in 1860, Weydemeyer soon thereafter offered his services to the darling of the Forty Eighters, Maj. General John C. Fremont when war broke out.”
All these activities would have taken lots of time and effort. But, then, Weydemeyer was into Marxism for the long haul. He wasn’t just tinkering around as so many often did He was actively into promoting Marxist change in and for America. But, then most of the Forty Eighters who came over here before the War of Northern Aggression were like Weydemeyer and were willing to do “whatever it took to get the coon.”
The Communist Club that Weydemeyer helped organize had, as one of its main goals, what it called “nationalizing the means of production.” What this amounted to, shorn of all the Marxist sophistry, was the abolition of private property and taking that property and claiming its true ownership in the name of “the people.” Doing this was supposed to automatically create heaven on earth for everyone – if you were naive enough to believe the Marxist doublespeak. Actually, all it really did was to create a lot of extremely well-off Marxist dictators while ordinary people went begging. Stealing private property is forbidden in Holy Scripture.
There is another book out there, if you can still find copies of it called Joseph Weydemeyer: Pioneer of American Socialism written by Karl Obermann and published back in 1947 by International Publishers, which was an outfit controlled by the Communist Party in this country.
So, as you can see, Joseph Weydemeyer was the consummate Marxist of the mid-19th century, both in Europe and in this country. Unfortunately, there were a lot more like him here after the leftist revolts in Europe folded. This country is much the worse for them having been here. So, those naive people who tell you we never had a Communist problem here until the 1930s are about a hundred years off the mark.
Another book you might want to check out is Benjamin Gitlow’s The Whole of their Lives. Gitlow deals with Communist activity in this country around the time of the First World War. Gitlow had been a Communist and broke with them and wrote this book exposing what they were doing in this country in the early 1900s. The title of this book gives you some idea of the life of Weydemeyer in the mid-1800s. The Communists have been here for a long time, and they have done lots of damage. They do indeed dedicate “the whole of their lives” in service to their humanist deity in their efforts to enslave the world – all in the name of “freedom.” Freedom for them and slavery for the rest of us. It’s past time for America to wake up! Even today, we are voting these Marxist types into Congress because we won’t take the trouble to check out where they are really coming from. If we continue on this path, the freedom we lose will be our children’s!

America, the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, was on its way to self-destruction the moment it began. This is not the fault of the Left, of CNN, of PBS, of government education, nor does the issue lie with the Republican Party or Fox News. The problem runs much deeper, lurking beneath the surface, giving rise to all these inevitable entities. A Trojan Horse ready to pounce the moment we sleep, an evil that devours liberty and inevitably ends in totalitarianism. Its name, democracy.
Many Americans believe they live in a free country because they lack a good standard of comparison. They liken their situation to that of other democracies and conclude America is indeed the land of the free. Those who think about it know full well the scope of our government has multitudinously increased since its origins, placing blame on the media, government education, politicians, parties, etc. But these entities and more arise naturally in every democratic society on Earth.
Further, over time, and especially when voting rights are expanded, democratic societies always move towards progressivism and more government control. In my book Missing Monarchy: What Americans Get Wrong About Monarchy, Democracy, Feudalism, And Liberty, I document many of the totalitarian policies and nature of America today. If America was ever really the home of the free, it’s been a long time since that could be stated seriously. But was it, as I claim in my book, inevitable?
At its core, America was founded on a progressive system with the ability to legislate and amend its constitution. Professional legislators, politicians seeking election and campaigns funded by backers all are inherent in the system. We appointed judges to decipher and interpret the law so it will say what they desire and, like Ben Gates in National Treasure, they discover all kinds of hidden gems fostering governmental expansion.
We have placed authority at the national level and allowed no outside check to its sovereignty. We allow a professional legislature to gather and create laws; it is meant to be progressive. It is not in the nature of humanity to let go of power (especially politicians who campaign for it) but rather to gather it for themselves. It did not take long for Americans under the Constitution to have a far more authoritarian government than they suffered under King George.
Nothing is safe in democracy; liberty does not exist. Majorities can alter or abolish your rights, and judges can reinterpret them away to nothing. Democracy places your liberty in the hands of a simple majority (whose opinions and beliefs are swayed by those in power); thus, your possessions and liberty constantly need protection; they are ever under threat. Even if you prevent government expansion, nine times out of ten you will lose the war in the long term. Forces that desire to control others will inevitably find ways to achieve it. People will discover over time more areas of life intruded on by government regulations. Things outside of politics will become “political issues” now regulated or under the control of the collective. Libertarians will always be one step behind in trying to plug the holes; thus, in any democracy, liberty is slowly bled to death.
The competitive nature of campaigns, especially at the federal level, ensures that those who want power to utilize it to their advantage and are willing to work with powerful elites and bureaucracies are most likely to win. Major corporations and interest groups looking for subsidies favor politicians who are willing to utilize tax money for their benefit. Thus, those politicians are well-funded and more likely to win an election. Conversely, the same interest groups will remove politicians or laws unwilling to give them what they want: access to D.C.’s power and money.
Likewise, the politicians who offer more of other people’s stuff (taxpayers’ money) will have the upper hand on election day compared to the candidate who does not offer his voters free stuff. People want everything provided for them and believe that D.C. has magical abilities to produce anything they desire, making them more likely to vote for the progressive candidates.
Governments frighten their citizens half to death over environmental scares, viruses, terrorists, “white supremacists,” what will happen if the other party is elected and much else. Further, the government will seek out imperfections; if none are found, it will create them and offer itself as the problem solver. As the government enters these new areas and creates bureaucracies to control them, more employees come within the federal ranks. These agencies become entangled in the system and the parties, and not only they but future politicians now must accept and subsidize them. Eventually, the majority of the population depends on some form of a handout, job, welfare, subsidy, tax break, and so on, and everyone comes into the state’s grasp. Willing slaves predominate, and the result is that the government can do as it pleases and is ensured of its maintenance.
Politicians are not punished for overspending; the next generation must pay the debt. Therefore, they tend to spend, and spend like it’s free. They do not incur the debt, the nation does. They are wealthy, their kids attend private schools, they will do fine, and they gain power and friends by spending, thus leading to more expansion. Today, we are taxed at a higher rate than serfs in the Middle Ages or slaves picking cotton.
Because power is now with the voters, their minds are manipulated by those in authority to control the outcome. Whenever and wherever democracy is implemented, mandatory state education and a compliant media become the managers of citizens’ worldview and thinking. Regardless of where it occurs (or when), democracy inevitably directs its citizens to become docile, hardworking, and taxpaying subjects; they accept government expansion and even desire it. Each state begins to mold its people to its image, instituting a collectivist and nationalist mindset and inducing hostility to the individual and individual liberty.
The result of long-term democracy is either a one-party dictatorship or perhaps an oligarchy of two or more powerful centralized political parties and their media allies manipulating and controlling the economy, politics, and citizens’ minds, swaying them as needed for each election cycle. Despite what American conservatives tell you, propaganda is not a modern, liberal, or Marxist development; it arose as soon as parliamentary forms of governance began. Conservatives themselves indoctrinate their people; they are just currently behind the progressives in it.
Conservatism is fundamental to democracy, ensuring progressivism long-term. If progressives were unhindered, government expansion and social engineering would occur rapidly, and local push-back, secession, and rebellion would occur. Conservatives ensure the rate of progress is slow enough that all of society is kept under control yet directed progressively forward. Even if conservatives won each election, the resulting government would be many times more authoritarian and oppressive than under King George III because all democratic societies move in that direction, the “Right” playing its part. Liberty is dead; it was killed by the disease called democracy.

The post Democracy Inevitably Leads to Totalitarianism appeared first on Identity Dixie.
I listened to an interesting podcast by The Distributist. He details a lot of things and much of it is watching him collect thoughts and collate them into something more useful. I’ll summarize the more useful parts, as I understand them.
I forget where I first heard the distinction, but man falls into one of three categories: warrior, farmer, or priest. Christ, of course, fulfills all three. David, The Distributist, references these three classes in his analysis of the works of Abd al-Rahman Ibn Khaldun. He defines them as Nomads, Kulaks, and Troubadours. For better reference, we’ll call them warriors, farmers, and priests.
The warrior specializes in asset-denial to the enemy. He lives off the spoils of raid and plunder. But it’s easy for him to get burned out. War requires energy. He can’t produce anything on his own. He’s reliant on the productivity of his enemy. This is his secondary vice. His primary vice comes from his lack of purpose without an oppositional force. A knight without a dragon to fight is no knight. More erudite scholars than I have speculated that it was peace that destroyed Camelot. Less erudite scholars than I have observed that it was peace that destroyed Rome. The Pax Romana was a prelude to the collapse, just as the Pax Americana surely sealed the fate of this nation, but that’s another story for another time. One could accurately describe them as parasitic, although parasitic off the enemy.
The farmer is something more familiar to most of us. They live lives of seclusion and stability. They don’t care what happens in Rome. What they care about functions around the turning of seasons and the implications of the weather. These people generate wealth. The wealth produced ends up in the hands of the enemy, which is raided by the warriors, and returned, in a pittance, to the men who created it. The farmer specializes in asset generation. This is the story of the Cossacks and their attempt to protect the poor farmers from cruel nobles and Jewish loaners. They could return only a fraction of that which was made. This is the American middle and working classes. If you’re reading this, you’re almost certainly one of them. You keep your head down and do what you have to, so that the people you care about can continue to live. God loves farmers, for farming is akin to gardening, which is what He designed as our primordial vocation. Work functions as both man’s curse and man’s blessing. The farmer is deeply rooted to his land and his work. He values the traditions of his home, and he has a sense of home. The warrior wanders. The farmer abides.
The final caste is the priest. The priest creates culture, for wherever there is culture, there is a cult. He practices asset-denial to the enemy while also practicing asset-generation. The plowman plows better with a song in his heart that inspires him. The warrior fights harder with the songs of his forebearers to encourage him and the hope that songs of him will be sung. The priestly caste also encompasses bards and other “creatives” (I hate to use the term) which inspire better things in people. The priest longs for the death of the enemy and does all he can to encourage the other two classes. He does this through recalling the culture of the past and creating a new and better culture in the present (this is difficult in our age). His greatest danger is in spending too long gazing into the abyss. As we all know, the abyss stares back. He will experience temptation. Temptation starts with small compromises which, in turn, become larger ones. In some ways, he’s in more direct contact with the enemy than the warrior is. One can only maintain irony (in the literal sense) with an intense will, and the will is finite. In a sense, the priest animates the other two and gives them a purpose beyond vanquishing your enemies and seeing the harvest’s yield.
The best and most healthy thing for us is to be aware of these facets. Just like we are made in the image of God, no man is wholly warrior, farmer, or priest. We need to learn to practice all of these elements in our lives and to pursue them when granted opportunities. We’ll always fall into one category more than another, but we should strive to understand and practice the other aspects. Never miss an opportunity to contest the enemy, cherish the work that you do and the people for whom you do it for, and strive to describe the things that encourage you to do these things.

Secularism is not in itself unbiased, nor does the removal of Christianity from the public sphere ensure neutrality. Instead, it simply replaces the God of the Universe with the secular state. Over time, in any country or people that adopts a secular state or constitution its people will follow and eventually the state itself will become like a god to them. It will dictate their morality, welfare, education, purpose, it will become the arbiter of truth and justice, and so on. What was the authority of God, the Church and the family will be handed over to the state. Atheism becomes the state-sponsored religion practiced in the classroom and across society. Without a Christian foundation or a higher law above the state, authoritarianism is sure to result in any secular society.
Totalitarians and atheists desire the state to be their higher power and replacement for God. But this god has no limitations on behavior, economics, and other regulations it seeks to impose. And in the eyes of its followers, the more involved it becomes, the better for society. It will seek to eradicate other gods or things that might pull authority away from itself. The family, traditions, the Church, etc.
Politicians prefer atheists for many reasons. One is that atheists are easily startled and frightened. Threats of global warming, viruses, terrorists, and so on will whip the secular masses into a frenzy, causing them to run to their high power, the state, for safety. Everywhere democracy is instituted, it promotes and teaches relativism, materialism, atheism, and immorality. It seeks to separate people from their family, traditions, religion, local laws, and customs to make it easier for a population to be molded to its image. Without a solid foundation, a secularist can be easily swayed, manipulated, altered, and driven in whatever direction is needed.
Politicians desire secularism because it removes limitations, restraints, and higher law. They can then reshape and reimagine society as they desire. If they want to destroy the family for their convenience and power, they can. They want their media pundit allies and state-sponsored and certified educators to be the high priests and shapers of society’s moral values and thoughts, displacing pastors, priests, and rabbis. Across the world, Muslim countries produce a devout population desiring Sharia law, secular democracies produce secularists in love with democracy. Every government manipulates the worldview of its people to herd them as it desires.
No King but ChristIn a democratic society, those in authority do not prefer Christians with a biblical worldview. For example, throughout the Middle Ages, a nationwide tax would be unthinkable; when it was attempted, revolts began, houses were destroyed, agents murdered, and so on.
Devout Christians, whose highest lord is the king of kings, make for terrible slaves. They are not, as politicians wish, easily maneuverable, adaptable, and swayed. Further, they dare to hold to a higher authority than those in power. They even judge them by this highest authority that declares they have limited specified duties to serve the people and not vice versa. We, being multiple generations into democracy, have been domesticated beasts for so long we have become complacent, caged animals, impotent against the oppressor, not knowing what liberty is—or worse, afraid of it.
During the Middle Ages, law was derived from God and the people’s traditions and could not be manipulated or abused. So, the medieval peasant did not have to campaign, elect the correct politician, or worry about the next one coming in, because those in power had no right to violate the law; it was set in stone like the Ten Commandments. As I explain in my book, Missing Monarchy: What Americans Get Wrong About Monarchy, Democracy, Feudalism, And Liberty, during Christendom (700-1300 A.D), it was ingrained in the politics of the day that any man, lord, or king who overstepped his God-given authority was to be resisted by force or at least ignored by the entire society. To cooperate with a tyrant (a lord who gathered power to himself) would be itself treason against the law, and God.
Justice, law, liberty, etc. were derived from the eternal God and natural law and thus did not change based on who currently holds power. Defending law, liberty, and your rights was not an act of pride but a defense of God, who declared things to be so and was attacked by tyrants who sought to elevate themselves above God’s law and the limitations placed on them. You were not defending your rights in a modern political realm, but God in Heaven, declaring Him lord rather than a current human lord who has gone astray. Further, the eternal judge of nations looked down upon His people, and their obligation was to maintain a Christian realm. To allow tyrants to go above and beyond their limited roles to introduce paganism, atheism, or tyranny was sure to bring the wrath of God on His people, an extra incentive to resist tyrants.
In modern times, we have entirely changed our definitions of traitor and rebel based on blind obedience. Today, anyone who does not follow a federal declaration is a traitor or rebel. In the Middle Ages, any ruler who went outside of law and tradition was a rebel and traitor and was to be resisted by law. Thus, a medieval peasant would say the greatest outlaws in America were not those of the Old West but are its elected officials and judges of today.
What do you do with such people as existed in the Middle Ages? If you’re the government, how do you control them? Well, because the medievals were free men living before the domestication we have suffered, the Middle Ages must now be vilified, demonized, and misrepresented so none would ever think of replicating the period. If we were to imitate them today—all at once—we would overthrow the current power structures. They don’t want people to know of a time when the government and special interests did not micromanage their minds, lives, and fortunes. It was a devout Christian population during that period that maintained a Christian and libertarian society.

You might have heard about this odd thing called ‘paraphiliac infantilism’.
Maybe you don’t know that highly technical phrase in particular, but you probably know what it actually is. Put bluntly, it’s when adults pretend to be babies.
I.e.: Paraphiliac infantilism is when a grown man or woman dresses up and pretends that they are a baby.
I think in the modern lingo, they just call it adult-baby age play. But I’m not exactly “in the know”, so take that with a grain of salt.
These weirdos will do things like suck on a pacifier, have other adults change their diaper, play dress up as a baby, and do other assorted acts you would typically do with/as an infant.
Sometimes it’s a sexual kink and other times it is just platonic. Some of them genuinely just want to be a baby. Kind of like most furries.
Either way, it’s really bizarre. But nothing too surprising given how degenerate our entire society is. I wish this was the worst thing we could complain about. But it’s not. If you don’t believe me, here are some examples of even worse perversions: [1][2][3][4][5][6]
Your average ABDL (“Adult Baby and Diaper Lovers”) participant. Note: This particular specimen is also a transgender, born female.But the fact that this infantilism is even a thing that occurs, is telling about where we are as a people.
For sure, this adult-baby thing is an extreme degeneracy regarding infantilism. But it is not the only one.
Our entire culture is plagued with the same kind of infantilism. Very few of our people want responsibility or to lead lives like a normal adult would’ve had to do 100 years ago.
Instead, almost all of our population wants zero suffering, no struggles, and no challenges in life. They want to coast with others providing for them. But without struggle and independence, there is no personal development. We need hard times to build us. Without them, we stay where we already were.
Which, ironically, is exactly what we are seeing today. A population of adult infants who never grew up.
Maybe the average adult infantile doesn’t dress up and age play like the extreme cases. But they are infected with the same root disease. It’s just not expressed as intently.
Many of our own people desire to return to a time in their lives when all of their necessities were provided for them, free of any work on their part. Hell, many of our own citizens currently live with that being the case through government and NGO services.
These people not only do not want the freedom to lead their own lives—They abhor it. They want an authority that does everything for them. The other people (like us) that seek to “take it away” from them are akin to how a child views someone trying to take away their mom and dad.
It’s wild, but it is a not an insignificant bulk of our population.
I think most of us dissidents realize that when stuff starts to get real bad in the States, a significant chunk of the population is just gonna die off.
But have you ever thought about why that is?
I wager to bet that a significant reason why is because of this infantilism. Our population has become so affluent and averse to struggle that as soon as anything is actually genuinely hit, they’re just gonna lose it. Just like an infant when they aren’t provided with every single basic living necessity.
The leftists are at extreme risk for this in particular. Because they live off of everyone else as a parasite. So if the host is struggling to provide even for itself, the parasite will also starve with it.
But it’s not just them. The gray masses, who most of us endearingly call normies, are also at high risk. They have become so dependent on “the experts”, the resource providers, even the system itself, and so on, that I highly doubt the vast majority of them could function without the same level of infantile protection as the modern world gives them.
We have a nation of infants. Unable to provide for themselves, short-tempered, and incredibly entitled.
With the struggles that are coming, this is a recipe for disaster.
But what we know is that we can prepare for it.
Let the adult babies continue to be adult babies. It just reduces competition for us in the future.
Meanwhile, you get out there, face the struggles, and get your life together. When nature reverts us back to the normal conditions, which it always does, you’ll be one of the very few who make it out on top.

The entire premise of our political system is that it’s a mechanism for the will of ordinary Americans to influence the policies of our government. In reality, all of our politicians are for sale and national discourse is shaped by the media so this is utterly fraudulent.
In other words, the system serves as a facade for Jews who can buy everyone and own the media. It therefore produces outcomes that are contrary to the needs and desires of ordinary Americans without being honest about much of anything.
One thing in particular would be a genocide conducted in Gaza which has turned the entirety of world opinion against America, which purports to lead the “free world” according to a rules-based international order as the foremost arbiter of morality. Media consumed by ordinary Americans has deliberately left them in the dark about just how badly global opinion has turned against our country over this ongoing crime against humanity.
Worse yet, the Jews have sparked a broader conflict in the Middle East which has hampered global shipping and humiliated the U.S. Navy, forced American pilots to put their lives on the line defending Israel from an Iranian missile barrage in retaliation for murder committed by the Jews, incurred American casualties on military installations in the region erected on behalf of Israel, and threatens to escalate into a much broader conflict pretty much at any moment which would result in massive American losses along with a host of other problems I can’t catalogue in one article.
The only thing stopping this escalation is the restraint of the Jews in Israel, who’ve thus far utilized very little and operate with no regards to the optics of their actions. So, American taxpayers must continue to pay for the instruments of genocide and American military personnel must deliver them as the risks continue to mount.
Nowhere in the mainstream media is there any honest commentary about what’s going on available to Americans, whom the Jews in Israel driving these events expect to sacrifice everything on their behalf in a war against Iran, as if nobody else has legitimate interests but themselves. Netanyahu’s visit to Congress should serve as a jarring reminder to Americans that their representatives don’t represent them, and this system of power is something other than what has been purported to them.

They were clapping so much he had to tell them to stop so that he could make his point. If this system represented us, we’d have affordable healthcare, a stable currency, an actual border, safe and pleasant communities, a reasonable cost of living, low levels of mental illness, high rates of family formation, low rates of divorce, a sustainable birthrate, and zero discrimination institutionalized against us. We don’t have any of these things but instead we have Congress giving Joseph Stalin applause to Netanyahu while he conflates the interests of Jews and Americans:
“We’re not only protecting ourselves. We’re protecting you … Our enemies are your enemy, our fight is your fight, and our victory will be your victory,”
Why are their enemies our enemies? Why should Arabs who live thousands of miles away and are fighting to resist being ethnically cleansed from their own soil be our enemies? Why would someone be “evil” for refusing to forfeit their lives and land to the Jews? Why are Iranians also “evil” for supporting their struggle? What is the underlying telos of the Jewish religion which produces such a doctrine?
How is Israel protecting us from anyone? How would the victory of the Jews over the Arabs and Iranians be our victory? How does anything Israel is doing comport with international law and universal standards of morality which are rejected only by the Jews?
If Biden has been telling us his entire presidency that the greatest threat to our national security is white supremacy right here in America, how is Israel protecting us by slaughtering Arabs in the Middle East by the tens of thousands?
What is it about Israel that makes it so supportable by the USA? Why would it be an “antisemitic conspiracy theory” to declare that this state of affairs is the product of something other than the interests and will of Americans?
Is it not strange that the prime minister of a tiny country with roughly 10 million people gets to come and dictate to the united assembled legislature of another massive country with a population of nearly 335 million, some of the world’s foremost combat capabilities, and the reserve currency, which is financially subsidizing and protecting his country’s existence both politically and militarily?
Is it not odd that this vastly more powerful country’s leadership is held hostage by whatever he decides to do? Why is it taken for granted in the media and political discourse that none of the above questions are legitimate?
In a fiery speech in the House chamber, Netanyahu called for “total victory” in the nine-month-old war, dashing hopes among some that he would announce progress toward a ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages before his meetings with Joe Biden at the White House on Thursday.
Objectively, this is absolutely insane and can’t be explained in any way by the collective interests and will of Americans. It would appear that the purpose of this speech was for Netanyahu to come here for some cheerleading in order to set the stage for escalation.
It looks like the Jews have decided that Trump will work out best for them, so his presidency will be an opportune time to pull the trigger. The stars do seem to be aligning quite conveniently for Trump and he couldn’t have a better opponent than Kamala Harris who was immediately installed as the candidate by party authority, not her electability.

Remember, retarded Jews are driving events now. All they’ve known is Israel and the criminal privileges it confers on its citizens. These aren’t the caliber of Jews who hijacked America and lack their sensitivities to other peoples’ opinions, having known nothing but being above criticism in their own ethnostate.
This bloodthirsty idiot represents the expanding demographic keeping Nentanyahu on top. He’s basically giving the game away. From the Times of Israel:
Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir endorsed Donald Trump for president in a highly irregular move, as top officials from both nations usually avoid wading into one another’s internal politics and do not wish to be seen as favoring one side over another.
His comments, in an interview published Wednesday, came at a particularly inconvenient time for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is in Washington and was set to meet Thursday with US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the likely Democratic nominee in the coming election.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Ben Gvir asserted that a win for Trump in the November vote would be better for Israel, implying that only the Republican nominee would offer support for action against Tehran.
“I believe that with Trump, Israel will receive the backing to act against Iran,” Ben Gvir told Bloomberg. “With Trump it will be clearer that enemies must be defeated.”
Trump isn’t running on a war for Israel, and it’s doubtful he’d order one if he gets elected. He isn’t stupid, so he understands that these projects never work out for the United States and has been quite vocal about it. The U.S. military has been so exploited, abused, and depleted it couldn’t win a war anyways.
What’s more likely is he’d find himself reacting to a crisis contrived by the Jews and start making decisions on the advice of his advisors, such as his son-in-law Jared Kushner, whose family is closely aligned with Netanyahu. It would be difficult to control the escalation once something gets going.
I really hope I’m wrong, but it seems this situation is going to get quite kinetic and that’s going to be very bad for all of us. What else can you expect from our democracy? Trump made some pretty awful decisions on behalf of Israel but limited the military ones to strikes and kept us out of a war the last time around. However, Israel hadn’t created such a catastrophe for itself back then, either.

An upside to Netanyahu’s speech is that Americans got to see 53 minutes of clapping to remind them who is really in charge. By the way, Biden made a sort of farewell address from the Oval Office last night reminding us that that things have never been better domestically and exhorting us to defend our democracy. This is all a sick joke, but when you’re living in it things aren’t so funny.
As I watched his speech, I knocked one back and thought to myself: This is why I drink.
The post Results from our Representation appeared first on Identity Dixie.
If you’ve had the misfortune of interacting with a Generation Z female, you might have heard them use the phrase “the ick.” For example, if a fat greaseball with zero social skills tips his fedora to a woman and says, “m’lady,” she’ll describe the encounter to her friends as having given her “the ick.”
The ick describes an uneasiness, sense of disgust, or anxiety that a woman experiences when something from reality crashes into her otherwise meticulously maintained fantasy world. No, you’re not so attractive that losers won’t still attempt to hit on you. Do they think you’re in their league? Maybe. Or maybe they read too much pick-up-artist blogs. Or maybe you are in their league and you’re in denial. After all, Gorloc The Destroyer thinks he’s a 10 as a woman. Whatever the case, reality knocketh.
This is possibly one of the greatest distillations of the feminine conceptualization of the world. We have to thank Zoomers for boiling down what people have written blogposts, essays, and even books outlining as the female emotional reactivity to externalities to two simple words: the ick. A terminally short attention span actually generated something useful.
The phrase doesn’t just have implications for social interactions. It also holds great explanatory power for female political motivations, particularly on the Left. A picture of a sad Syrian kid who just wants to live on the German taxpayer’s dime? The ick. Let him and all of his fighting-age cousins and siblings in. A black man being confronted by a mob of angry White people after he tried to steal something out of somebody’s backyard? The ick. White people have too much stuff anyways. Parents protesting drag queen story hour? The ick. Those poor trannies need to share their story with the world, including vulnerable children.
There’s no attempt to entertain the reasonable objections from the other side. The only thing that even approaches the level of “reasoned argumentation” is the repetition of canned slogans that were seeded by media and entertainment. When a leftist harpy says, “no human is illegal,” what she’s really saying is, “sad brown people give me the ick.” We have to let them in so that the media will stop showing her the footage and pictures of sad brown people that provoke this ick.
In healthier days, the ick factor might have actually been beneficial. The ick is, after all, attuned to social norms. If you have a healthy society with good values and religious fervor, a woman’s going to get the ick when she sees some guy wearing a dress, and she’s going to demand that somebody make the ick go away. She’s not going to go through some John Stuart Mill moral utilitarian flow chart of whether this decreases the good of the commons enough to warrant imposing limitations on the guy in a skirt. It makes her unhappy, and she’s going to complain about it bitterly until somebody does something about it.
Our problem is that this has been inverted. She’s now complaining about the people complaining about the guy in the dress. What was meant to be a visceral, innate, and instinctive reaction against things that violate tradition has become a tantrum in the name of perpetual revolution. We have to recognize that when leftist women agitate for various causes or things, the root lies with the fact that these things trigger an emotional revulsion against the correct position. They have no arguments to make or justifications to advance for their position. It’s based purely on emotional phenomena. Unfortunately, women are allowed to exercise electoral power based on their emotional phenomena. That gives me the ick.

We’re deep into summer, and that means it’s car show season. I’ve been to a couple with my young kids, as they love cars. I went to one that really put things into perspective for me.
This particular car show was virtually all-American cars, from modern muscle like Dodge Hellcats and Ford Mustang GTs to vintage pieces from America’s glory years, like Ford Coupes, GTOs, and Chevelles. Most of these vehicles were all lovingly maintained and improved from their original manufacturer. The vintage cars were especially impressive. These were almost all owned by Boomers. It makes sense. Vintage cars require a lot of time and money to restore and maintain properly. Other shows feature rare cars, often foreign, that the owner had to hunt down and acquire. Sometimes, they feature interesting cars that require some nuance and understanding of the automotive hobby to appreciate.
There was, however, another class of car at this particular show. There were at least six brand new Corvette Stingrays and even a few Z06s gleaming in the sunlight with their Boomer owners grinning proudly next to them. These are, of course, the Corvettes that are built to look like modern Lamborghinis or Ferraris in the squat-and-wide shape rather than the long-and-thin shape everybody remembers the Corvette for. In all likelihood, these cars have less than 10k miles on them and nothing beyond an oil change in terms of maintenance, much less modification. The drivers likely require assistance getting in and out of them.
These Boomers, being superficial, fundamentally misunderstand the nature of a car show. They see it as a place to show up and flaunt an impressive piece of 4-wheeled machinery that other people envy. What they miss is why people envy the owners of the other cars. Vintage cars hearken back to a better age in the United States, and the dedication required to keep them running demands its own appreciation. Modern cars that people have modified to make faster or better looking also require a decent amount of mechanical inclination. It’s not just envy of the machine, it’s envy and admiration of the drive possessed by the owner to maintain and improve the machine and their eye for the uniqueness of the vehicle.
Nobody is impressed by Bob Smith driving down to the Chevy dealership, picking one of the dozen Corvettes they have on the lot, paying cash for it from his reverse-mortgage, and driving it out to impress everybody else. There are a lot more interesting cars you could get for $70k or $115k. It almost reminds one of the newly enlisted private who buys a new Camaro for 30% APR thinking it will make him cool, at least until he drives it back to the barracks parking lot and pulls in next to all of the other Camaros, Mustangs, and Chargers. Meanwhile, the car dealer laughs and the platoon sergeant cries.
Driving back, we saw another car on the road. It was a heavily modified fifth-generation Nissan 350z with custom exhaust, a body kit, and no doubt some work under the hood. A White millennial drove it. I don’t think it would have gone over well at the car show. The show was America-themed and there were less than five Japanese cars there. All of them were over 40 years old and considered “vintage.” Even if all of the entrants weren’t Boomers, the vast majority were, and the “American muscle” vibe was prominent. That said, this car exhibited far more of the “pride in your ride” attitude and sense of craftsmanship than all of the late-model Corvettes put together. It wasn’t as obviously “draped-in-the-American-flag” as the vaunted Corvette, but it was draped in something else: the ingenuity, dedication, and pride that made America worth something in the first place.
The post Buying Your Way into the Club appeared first on Identity Dixie.
As I am writing this article, Biden has stepped aside from his reelection campaign, and baring some kind of last-minute chicanery, Vice President Kamala Harris is the likely nominee. Whereas the optics will change from frail, older White man whose facilities have long since departed, to a younger (59) black-Indian female, the election dynamics will not change. Effectively, it is Trump versus the Establishment – or more accurately, the current Establishment in power (Harris) versus the Establishment out of power (Trump). The policies will not change much, regardless of the election outcome. If Trump wins, there may be more competence and consistency at the border, lower gas prices, and some targeting of inflation. But the system is still in charge, even when the establishment changes power positions. The will of the people is all for the sake of optics to keep the system humming. After all, happy lemmings continue to prop up the system through compliance (taxes, volunteer military service, etc.).
It is important to remember that the system is “The Deep State,” but it is not that “deep.” It is hardly in the shadows. It is the governing ecosystem found within the halls of the various bureaucratic offices of Washington, D.C. It has become an organism all its own. The people do not run the United States through their vote. Rather, the system continues to operate and ignores the will of the people. This reality is reflected in our political choices.
The face of a political race is critical because it is often part of the system’s messaging and social programming. Rather than the Left and Right represented by two older White males, the contrast is drawn more distinctly. “Old America” – seeking to return to greatness – is represented rhetorically by Donald Trump, a White male septuagenarian. “New” America – seeking a radical Marxist Dawn – is represented by a younger, black female, Kamala Harris. The distinctions tell you a lot about the system’s goals. If Trump is allowed to win, it will be a nod toward an elevation of capacity over social justice. Trump, for all his faults, is strong on the economy, the border, and traditional national security (i.e., a posture of strength that dissuades global threats). Harris is ridiculously incompetent – as evidenced by the border (although, I believe that was willful, not incompetence). If the system allows Harris to defeat Trump, it is telling the world that DEI is more important than competent White leaders. In effect, we will have entered a post-White world, as the old White man is defeated on the international stage by the young(er) black woman.
To his credit (or lack thereof), Trump seems to have learned this lesson. Yes, Trump still peddles the anti-deep state rhetoric. It is red meat for his base. The fact that he chose a Silicon Valley darling in J.D. Vance, however, betrays a new Trump that understands the system cannot be beaten – it can only be co-opted. The only way to win is to embrace the system and attempt to add some legacy of your own to the power dynamics that control the system. In essence, find establishment players to work the system to your benefit. That is hard to do.
The old establishment – structured around Wall Street and Hollywood – is at odds with the new establishment – structured around high technology. Neither Harris nor Trump’s policies necessarily square with the presumed goals of their establishment masters. Harris is not a friend to Wall Street, but Wall Street benefits off of traditional Democrat policies. Trump is not a friend to high technology – as evidenced by his battles with social media. That stated, Trump’s vice-presidential nominee is well versed in the new tech world and more importantly, the cyber-monetary systems that are making them extremely powerful. The system knows the old establishment better than it knows or understands the new, emerging establishment. Typically, one thing will happen; either the system will seek to break the emerging threat of a new establishment by doubling down on its support of the old establishment (currently back in power) and therefore killing the new establishment in its infancy or the system will seek to co-opt the new establishment to make it one of its own. In fact, it started to do this, as evidenced by the several years around COVID-19 and the 2020 election, whereby the system shut down free speech throughout the social media landscape (the exception being Gab). This was the system showing the new establishment who is boss. What the system was not capable of appreciating was the fact that the new establishment – independently wealthy and dominating the mechanisms of communications – no longer feels like playing second fiddle to legacy establishment types. They seek to reform the system by making it an outgrowth of their own principles. Some may say that Elon Musk is/was the leader in this movement, but I do not believe that is the case. I think it is bigger than Musk, as evidenced by another super wealthy cyber billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg was the first to launch a shot at the system in 2024. Facebook reopened its platform to Trump before the debate, ostensibly to allow all candidates to have a voice. Musk did this earlier, but Musk never had a squabble with Trump as Zuckerberg did. Was this a change of heart for Zuckerberg? Not at all. I believe it was a matter of an opportunistic Zuckerberg smelling the political winds shifting and learning from his Silicon Valley peers that they plan to launch their own coup. Zuckerberg’s calculation was probably one in which he sought to join the others or get chewed up by powerful people who know how the cyberworld works. He would rather be inside the new establishment and play a role in forming a new system, than find himself outside of it.
Regardless, the spokesperson for the new establishment will not be Trump. He will keep the lemmings leaping. It will be J.D. Vance, who will use his office (if elected) to set the groundwork for a new establishment and by extension, a modified system. This is where all of this comes back to the system itself. It is still all powerful. It is going nowhere. Who guides the system will be one of the system’s own choosing. It chose to get rid of Biden. It chose to steal the 2020 election. It will choose its path – new or old – this November. No matter what happens, the system will remain the system, and that beast is too large to kill without an act of God (which I believe is coming). Since we do not know which way the system will go, the best we can do is wait and prepare ourselves and our families for a dystopian future that comes from systems that eventually devour themselves by virtue of hubris and miscalculation.
The system will eventually fail, but until then, the system is the system – and it just said, “Goodbye, Mr. Biden.” You cannot beat the system until it beats itself, first – which it always eventually does.
The post Goodbye, Mr. Biden appeared first on Identity Dixie.
In the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Trump, it is increasingly clear, barring extreme cheating or a successful attempt on his life, that he will beat ~~Creepy Joe~~ (or whomever is the nominee of the Democratic Party) in November. As Southern Nationalists, we need to be realistic and judge his second term with a pragmatic lens. We should not be carried away with the euphoria of his American Nationalist fans and their screams of “USA, USA, USA.” I hope to address the pitfalls of another Trump presidency, not to tell our people not to vote in November, but merely to prepare them for what’s to come.
One of the biggest things forgotten by Magapedes is that Trump isn’t nationally popular, especially with moderates (who decide national elections). Trump is winning currently due to the economy, which Biden and his handlers purposely made increasingly worse. That’s what is turning milquetoast suburbanites away from Biden. In short, they aren’t being motivated to vote for Trump in mass, though some will, but merely that it’s not worth backing Biden’s successor (yesterday, he endorsed Kamala Harris after withdrawing from the race). Their motivations aren’t to “Make America Great Again” but to live more comfortably and be able to buy cheap trinkets so they can get back to their streaming shows and sportsball. Their “loyalty,” if one can call it that, is dependent solely on economic consumption. Many of these people in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Wisconsin could care less about fixing the degenerate culture of the United States; in fact, many like the current libertine culture of Weimar-America.
One of the biggest threats to Trump’s second term is the shaky economy. After decades of non-stop spending by the federal government, its currency is increasingly becoming more and more worthless. The threat of the dollar collapsing is a fatal one (if it occurs). It’s no surprise that the GOP platform explicitly expresses the need to keep the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Without that, the American Empire would quickly collapse. The dollar, and its buying power, is the key for keeping the American Empire united – as stated before, modern Americans love their cheap toys and entertainment more than liberty. It should be noted that the American Empire has been losing more and more respect and legitimacy due to various factors: from its displays of homosexuality, divided politics, to its defeat in Afghanistan.
Thanks to the virtue signaling of the Biden administration, and the West, many Third World countries have become nervous about the power of the dollar after the failed sanctions against Russia. In the same light, many countries now view Russia’s economy prospering after such failed sanctions and are re-evaluating the power of the American Empire. This is why for the first time since 2010 we are watching countries join BRICS, such as Egypt, Iran, and Ethiopia. It should be noted that numerous countries have applied and are considering joining BRICS. In addition, supposed American-aligned countries, like Saudi Arabia and India, are defending Russia much to the chagrin of the Washington ruling class. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen has recently admitted that the sanctions used to bully countries like Russia, Iran and others. I’d argue that even if the economy doesn’t collapse in 2025, it won’t get better due to the damage already inflicted via the mass funding of Ukraine. When the turn around doesn’t happen, Trump will be unfairly blamed by goldfish-brained “moderates.”
Another issue with Trump is foreign policy. His first term was a mixed bag, from making peace with North Korea being a highlight, while killing Iranian General Qasem Soleimani and bombing Syria as negatives. While Trump has had friendly relations with Putin, he’s also done nothing to stop the congressional funding to Ukraine. Speaker Johnson was actually strongly defended by Trump in April when he lied to his voters by passing Ukraine funding without the border being secured. He went as far as, two weeks prior, to say that Ukraine was necessary to the Empire’s interests, while also stating that Russia’s peace terms were not acceptable. Putin is open to working with Trump, and likely vice versa, but would Trump be willing to openly clash with the war hawks in his own party, those that he’s currently aligned with and backed? An even bigger foreign policy issue is Israel and Trump’s Zionism.
From an Israel perspective, a Trump presidency would be much more aggressive as he’d have more mainstream voter support, especially from his political allies. If Israel and Hezbollah do go to war this month, or in the following months, it could kick up a far more widespread conflict as Hezbollah has the means to push into Northern Israel. Israel could be seriously put on its back foot. In such a scenario, Trump, the GOP, and his Boomer base would be foaming at the mouth and may go as far as putting boots on the ground or committing to air strikes. On the furthest end, Trump may escalate and go after Iran directly. We could see a situation where he assassinates more of its leadership and provokes a full-scale war. In this case, many leftist activists, already pro-Palestinian, could escalate their “protests” and riots and possibly a real insurrection. A war with Iran or even Hezbollah (Lebanon) would not be popular with moderates nor with Gen Z (who would be called to fight in such a war). In many ways, this could be part of the reason why AIPAC-owned Congress made the draft registration mandatory for young men.
An American-Iran war would be on par with what the Great War did to the Russian, Ottoman, and Austrian Empires. In effect, it would bring out the divides and anger bubbling under the surface, as well as, effectively destroy the dollar’s dominance. The amount of money needed to be spent in such a conflict, and the unpopularity at home, would quickly put us in the place of the Russian Empire in 1917. While the fact the actual losses would not get into the millions, one should remember American Vietnam casualties never surpassed 300,000, the death count of American soldiers was approximately 59,000. In 2025, would the American public be willing to accept the deaths of only a few thousand for the sake of Israel? For sure, Republican politicians would, as well as some die-hard evangelical Zionists, but Trump and the GOP would certainly lose the midterms. Assuming they survive the aggressive anti-war movement, which would make the 1960s look like child’s play. We’ve already gotten a preview of such protests and how the GOP would respond (when Israel is slandered the gloves come off). We could see such protests and crackdowns quickly escalate into full-on street battles.
A war with Hezbollah and a downward spiral of the economy under Trump would be a potent weapon for the Democrats and ensure that Trump is abandoned by moderates. Thanks to the Supreme Court handing Democrats a district in Alabama and Louisiana, Congress could flip blue in 2026, something no Magapedes are mentioning as they fantasize about Trump winning all 50 states. Indeed, many Trump’s supporters seem solely focused on him winning in November, rather than the possibility he will not have any power in office. They think he’s winning because he’s promising a return to 1950s America and an end to the Democrats. In reality, his platform is weak and mostly focused on the economy and building up the military. He has already strongly denounced the rightwing paleoconservative agenda of Project 2025. He has been rallying with Log Cabin Republicans and walking back from abortion. Short of actually ending “American Democracy” (mob rule, plus liberal oligarchs oversight), something I’m not opposed to destroying, there’s no way he’s removing the rot of the American Empire. Throwing more money at the already bloated and overpaid military will not fix America. Nor will granting massive tax cuts to reward the corrupt donor class. Trump cannot and will not do such things. The white pill for the South is that we can still survive and come out as an independent nation during such a crisis.
Trump’s future defeat and destruction, if he takes the road mentioned above, doesn’t mean we need to follow him down that path. We need to be focused on being the voice of reason and readying those Southerners willing to listen to make steps toward independence. Don’t let 2024 distract you from the ultimate goal of Free South. America’s difficulty is Dixie’s opportunity. We should view ourselves as the Poles or the Finnish during the Great War, who kept their focus on freeing themselves from a foreign occupier. While things play out nationally, the Southern Nationalist must look for opportunities to free his people.

There has never been a point in American history, or even pre-American history, where political violence – that is, violence consciously intended to affect a political end – has not been the preoccupation of the American people. America was, in a large part, founded via a general race-war, where every colonist understood they lived in a metaphorical and literal dark forest, which they were slowly beating into civilization while in incredible danger. Approximately their first political action on the continent was to build a fort and form a militia – that is, an organization for deploying violence on behalf of their community. The American Revolution was distinguished from Old World conflicts largely by the pretense that it was undertaken on behalf of “the People,” which justified, again, the violence they were about to enact against both representatives of the British government, and locals who refused to get with the program. In all cases these were basically farmers and merchants, not some local “sovereign” – it was well understood that if you pissed off or threatened a sufficient number of them, it was within their rights to band together as a polity and just flatly kill you.
I could go through two hundred and fifty years of American political history, from the Indian Wars, the institution of slavery and the political organizations set up to suppress slave rebellions, Bleeding Kansas, the Wide-Awakes, the Civil War, Reconstruction, suppression of German-American organizations, internment of Axis nationals, the (half-assed) suppression of communist organizations, the revolutionary and racial violence of the 60s and 70s, the wave of assassinations of politicians between the 60s and 80s, and so on. Most of those were done on a freelance basis, with some faction of the polity of the country engaging in coordinated political violence outside the formal direction of the state – although many of them were retroactively blessed with their approval.
So, it is disingenuous in the extreme that, having labeled Trump as Hitler, Caesar, et al, and begging some rando to rid the body politic of this turbulent racist, Democrats are now clutching their pearls about the unacceptability of political violence. It was plenty acceptable to them in 2020, when the country was lit on fire, complete with an attempted coup at the White House, in an event they still refer to as a “racial reckoning.” That word, “reckoning” – that is, settling accounts – again, using political violence to advance a political agenda.
The only distinction with the assassination attempt is that it did not, in this case, work. Trump evidently is capped out at a 20 Luck stat, immune to small arms, and cannot contract Covid. He is a machine for turning cheeseburgers into holes-in-one. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die. I kind of believe him.
So, when an assassin was allowed, yes allowed, on the only fucking building possible to send rifle fire from, an elevated, stable position, a mere 150 yards away, point-blank range, while locals pointed out “Hey cops, there’s a guy climbing up to the roof with a rifle,” and managed to light off eight rounds, killing one and critically wounding another two – a bullet grazed Trump’s ear and missed splattering his brains over the crowd in live 4K by about two millimeters. Instead of being killed on the spot, the man raised a fist to the crowd in possibly the most iconic presidential photo of all time, which happened to be perfectly framed by a past and future Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and escaped basically unharmed.
You couldn’t possibly write this as fiction without being a hack. This is, from the perspective of the establishment uniparty, when you raise the cross and the supersoaker full of holy water to the vampire and he grins and bares his teeth because we’re Subverting Tropes. It’s divine intervention that seems to indicate a level of concrete mandate-of-heaven usually only posited as some kind of Daoist metaphor. It should frankly send you to church.
Thus, we get the spectacle of the Gay Communist Race War party sighing “thank God Hitler was only wounded! We’re all, uh, Americans here, the good kind that comes together for disgusting barbeques or whatever and not the kind that lives on Stolen Land and needs total extirpation.” These are completely transparent crocodile tears. If it had worked, as all parts were arranged to, they would be making mouth-noises about how sad they are that it came to this and they would have rather won the election, but this just shows the inevitable consequences of Trump’s hate, so ironic when you think about it, do you get it? Btw, health issues, and let’s raise a glass to our first Canadian President, Kamala.
They are sad in the exact sense that a child is sad when he misses a pinata. “I’ll never get it! I feel dizzy and sick! Violence never solves anything!” In reality, he’s going to get a pep talk and another swing, for as long as it takes. If you are a pinata-American, so to speak, the continual punching bag of the uniparty, you need to understand that we are not “all coming together to denounce violence because the one thing we can agree on is etc.”, we are taking a brief breather for an optics check because Timmy got too enthusiastic and whacked another partygoer with a stick.
To his credit, Trump appears to understand this and is not at this time pulling a Romneyesque conciliatory concession. “Defiant in the face of evil” is a much better play. Because the only way that this stops is not by some nebulous and temporary “temperature lowering,” but by dismantling the concrete infrastructure that made it possible. Political violence is not going away. It never went away, and it will, unfortunately, be back. The only question is whether it will be legitimate violence, with a popular mandate and for the benefit of the American people, directed against those who consciously place themselves in opposition to the American polity, at a level as minimal as required to get the job done – or a never ending stream of thugs and terrorists attacking the avatars of the American people until they can start slaughtering the people themselves.

This election is certainly proving to be interesting, but one thing we can be sure that we’re not getting out of it is representation. What appears to be happening is that Washington is in the process of abandoning the neoconservative project in Ukraine, which is proving to be yet another unmitigated failure, to focus on defending Israel in the war it started against Hezbollah and Hamas.
Jews are to blame for both conflicts, but they’re not part of the same scheme and there are different factions of Jews at play in both. The neocons are Jews from the former Soviet Union descended from Trotskyists who are currently masquerading as hawkish, patriotic Americans. Everything they do is wrapped in a preposterous moral guise and discussed by them in terms of the international order and American national security.
Essentially, what they’re attempting is to globalize Jewish supremacy by eliminating all power independent of their golem, Uncle Sam. The conflict in Ukraine was meant to drag the Russians into a quagmire to justify sanctions that would collapse their economy and implode the Russian Federation. It would then be “decolonized” into controllable entities.
The Jews behind Israel’s current fiasco aren’t really doing any masquerading. They’re bloodthirsty retards raised on a blank check from the USA who have difficulty appreciating immediate consequences. They don’t give a damn about optics, having lived their entire lives above accountability in Israel where Jews no longer had to care about what those around them thought about their behavior.
This is how the world watches in outrage as bombs are dropped on hospitals, churches, and refugee camps while the perpetrators remain indifferent to everyone else’s opinion. The backlash is going to be very unpleasant for these Jews, but this is something they’re unable to take into account.
They’re seeking to eliminate their opposition in the Middle East so it can be settled by their retarded children whom they produce in large batches, in contrast to the more normal Jews, who are dying out. Demographic transformation has placed them in the driver’s seat of events, whereas before it was only Jews capable of passing as normal, like the neocons who were calling the shots.
This development is critical for understanding how what’s happening in the Middle East is a dramatic departure from decades past. It’s not something cooked up in Washington think tanks under the facade of American security as part of a broader scheme for global domination like the Global War on Terror. Some of these Jews are so demented they literally believe that their demon will grant them the rest of humanity as slaves after they sacrifice a red heifer in an occult ritual.

One gets the impression from both Trump and Vance that they don’t fully grasp what’s going on in Ukraine, which is understandable since I’ve never met a single member of the U.S. military who does either. However, the failure part is obvious along with the fact that whoever controls Ukraine is immaterial to Americans suffering from inflation and an ongoing societal collapse. Even if things were going well, it still wouldn’t matter to them.
What’s also plain to see is that Israel is in an existential crisis, and as our foremost priority, that’s where the focus of American foreign policy has to be placed instead. Moreover, no incoming administration will want to take the blame when the fighting in Ukraine comes to an end decisively in the favor of Russia. Whoever is in charge will therefore be looking for a way to extricate themselves and put the blame on Biden while Americans forget the whole thing in Ukraine happened and learn nothing from it.
Politically, failure in Ukraine is something the next administration can get through just fine if the timing is sooner rather than later. We have the Global War on Terror as a playbook for this one. The humiliation in Afghanistan back in 2021 is a non-issue for Biden in the 2024 elections. This is the ugly reality of the American voter.
At this point we are actively endangering our national security by focusing on Ukraine to the exclusion of other priorities.
A slow running disaster from the Biden admin. https://t.co/9l0DQ85xuG
— JD Vance (@JDVance1) June 20, 2024
At this point, it’s probably good news for the Ukrainians since without American support there’s no way for them to continue fighting. Some sort of settlement will have to be negotiated with the Russians to end the slaughter. The problem is that for Americans, our next step could be getting sucked into a direct conflict in the Middle East.
The Netanyahu Jews want to decisively defeat Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran while seizing all of Lebanon between the border and the Litani River. This probably isn’t even possible with direct American intervention, but without it, their goals would be absolutely impossible to achieve so the implications are rather disconcerting.
Already more than 46,000 businesses have folded in Israel with roughly 60,000 projected to be the total by the end of this year. Heavy losses have been taken by the IDF in both personnel and equipment to the point where it’s admitting shortages of tanks and munitions. Riots are breaking out as the government moves to draft the bipedal rats in funny outfits who claim their religious activities alone are a sufficient contribution to national security. The price paid by Israel thus far is too steep for them to accept gaining nothing.
The options for the Netanyahu Jews are to tacitly admit failure by packing things up, which would be political suicide, or take things too far and drag the U.S. military into the conflict. Jews always take things too far, so in all likelihood what remains to be seen is how exactly the United States gets dragged into the conflict.
Just because candidates fawn over Israel because that’s for their personal political benefit doesn’t mean they’re so irrational they want a new war for America in the Middle East. There are some Republican psychopaths like Lyndsey Graham who do, but none of them are headed for the White House.
The notion of a new war is deeply unpopular with voters and the military proposition itself is unfeasible. Politically, it amounts to a commitment to catastrophe. In other words, fighting this war outright for Israel isn’t something for which America will be volunteering itself no matter who wins in November. If we get dragged in, expect plenty of the usual Jewish chicanery and no admission from our elected officials that we’re fighting purely for the Jews at the expense of everyone else.

The post Conflict in the Cards? appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Those of you who have followed me over the past several years know that I am no fan of Donald Trump. As a president, Trump was probably the most consequentially disastrous president for the South in the post-Reconstruction Era of American history. More Southern monuments were torn down under Trump than any every other president since Garfield combined. He could have used the National Historic Register to preserve those monuments, but Trump wanted black votes and White anger. His apologists like to claim those monuments are protected under the state, not the federal government. That is not true. The federal government enjoys the power to protect monuments or architecture of historical significance when the state fails to do so. This is a precedent set by the detestable President Ulysses S. Grant when he established the National Park Service. His inaction is inexcusable.
Additionally, Donald Trump sent more so-called White Nationalists to prison then George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden combined. I still remember the martyrs of R.A.M. His open warfare against White interests and White people knows no limits. Trump did nothing to stop the extraordinary violence of leftist protesters, black rioters, or other anti-White activists in the 2020 “Summer of Love.” He went off the charts in his hatred for those of us who marched at Charlottesville. Many men – including myself – were sent to prison on a myriad of charges, while Trump and his acolytes made excuses for the man.
Trump’s most important constituency does not reside in Cullman, Alabama, or New Braunfels, Texas. They reside in Tel Aviv. No president loved Israel more and it makes sense: almost all of his grandchildren are Jewish. While Trump, who purportedly “loves the whole Bible,” praised Israel, he ignored punitive taxes levied on Christian churches and institutions by the Jewish state while he was president. He could have easily stopped the double tax that is singularly charged against Christians (not Muslims). He ignored it. While Christian pastors sat in Israeli prisons, Trump freed a black rapper named A$AP Rocky.
With the exception of record low gas prices (which is a staple of most Republican administrations) and an application of amnesty laws that slowed illegal migration (note – he fired and publicly humiliated the woman who drafted that policy), Trump was a Category-5 Hurricane on America’s White population – especially the South. He expanded the North African and Middle Eastern migrant program for four straight years – most of whom were relocated to Southern cities, especially in Florida and Tennessee. He never banned transgender freaks from military service – he expanded their entry and oversaw their promotions. Trump simply limited their ability to deploy. Finally, if this was not enough, he was the one who chose DEI-advocate General Mark Miley for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and J6-Hunter FBI Director Christopher Wray. Trump’s hatred of his own constituency is on full display for anyone who actually takes the time to look at his record.
Yet, White people love the man. For some reason, a South devastated by the policies and intentional inaction of Trump, overwhelmingly vote for him. The billionaire New Yorker with bad hair is adored by millions of White Americans who have been directly and negatively impacted by the former Charlatan-in-Chief. Therein lies the problem.
The fact that Trump is a de facto enemy of my people will not stop my people from wanting more Trump. His rhetoric does not match his actions. But that is the problem for a Bolshevik movement that has gained speed and momentum since the inaugural ascendency of George H. Bush in 1989. Trump’s message and the hope those words imbue are the problem.
The American political “Left” – if such a thing exists in a uniparty world – needs to kill White hope. It needs to destroy the potential of Trump’s message actually making its way into law. The global anti-White cabal does not want Trump’s rhetoric to become Florida’s functional policies. Yes, DeSantis kissed a wall (they all do) and signed an antisemitism bill in Israel (a contrived stunt by two FL representatives), but the vast majority of his Florida policies have been overwhelmingly pro-White and pro-Christian. The primary fear of our adversaries is that an articulate and competent leader may arise and work toward pro-White positions. DeSantis did not have the charisma to take on a juggernaut like Trump, but it is simply a matter of time before someone comes along who not only has the rhetorical capacity to articulate those positions, but the acumen to make them a reality.
Thus, the need for the Left to kill Trump. More specifically, it is their need to kill “the” Trump – the next emerging leader who is quietly learning how to govern and perfecting Trump’s communications ability. The inspiration of Trump is a threat to the system – not the man himself, who actually strengthened the anti-White system from 2017 to 2021.
Killing the Trump means killing the potential for a movement that realistically helps our people. In 2016, many of us, including myself, fell for Trump’s act. He disappointed us greatly. In 2020, I did not vote for Trump. I saw enough.
Just because I did not support Trump in 2020, and will not vote for him in 2024, does not mean I support Biden. It means I voted my conscience which directs me toward my people. I do not want talk. I want action. Short term cheaper gas does not make up for the eventual death of my nation. Policies that help my future generations thrive in a homeland that their forefathers built is my goal. Our enemies want the heart of that dream to be torn to shreds. Therefore, they must kill the Trump idea, even if – by his own actions – he does not believe in the ideals himself.
Whether that is by killing Trump physically (as they attempted on July 13th), politically (as they did in 2020), legally (as they did in a New York courtroom), or by means of internal subversion (such as the selection of a fraud named J.D. Vance), they must kill the Trump. Trump is useless and may himself be a plant to undermine pro-White policies with White lemming support. Regardless, his words have meaning within the hearts of many of my countrymen and correspondingly, our enemies cannot let that hope survive long enough for a more competent and committed leader to emerge.
The post Killing “The” Trump? appeared first on Identity Dixie.
The Left has an unhealthy fixation on Trump, obviously, to the point where they need to turn their lines of attack into dogma and catchphrases rather than even concrete complains. He lies (about what?). He’s a bully (to who? and did they deserve it?). And he thinks only about himself.
Yet, Trump’s choice of JD Vance, the first millennial on a major ticket, reflects the opposite of this last point. It would have been the easiest thing in the world to choose a non-entity whose main attraction is, like Spiro Agnew or Kamala Harris, making the Big Guy less likely to be assassinated, and maybe picking up a few votes in whatever microconstituency they reflect. Ben Carson would at least have locked in the hoteps.
Or, he could have gone strictly tactical. Glenn Youngkin would have put more electoral votes in play. Literally Some Woman would have potentially helped with the female swing voter demographic. Elise Stefanik would have brought in more cash.
Trump did none of this. Instead, he went with a comparatively rare move – an ideological successor. JD Vance underperformed in Ohio in his 2022 election, versus other statewide Republican candidates, because he actually takes positions and, more importantly, associates with those whom the uniparty deems beyond the pale.
His relationship with Trump has been at times fraught, describing him in 2016 as potentially “America’s Hitler,” but he evidently took a face turn prior to his senate campaign. You could be forgiven for thinking this could be entirely cynical, given Trump’s popularity in Ohio and his ability to elevate Vance to a position he would be unlikely to reach on his own, but there is frankly a lot of money, institutional support, and media attention for a NeverTrump senator, or even a “Trumpism without Trump” candidate like DeSantis, who is willing to do the bit.
So, I, and apparently Trump, judge his switch to be genuine. This is important, because the danger of an ambitious vice president is that the uniparty pulls a Mike Pence and makes him queen for a day in exchange for betrayal. We just saw on Saturday that this is not an idle fear.
The other side of this is that if he distinguishes himself, Vance is the natural successor to Trump. Trump has never been a “details” guy, and last time around lacked the kind of hatchet men and competent administrators able to deliver, outside of a few key areas like trade. Vance’s extended social network is replete with #ourguys, which makes it likelier he will be able to insert some into actual positions of power and influence.
Ultimately, these social connections are likely more important than Vance’s specific ideological framing or personal relationships, because politics is overwhelmingly about constituencies and personnel rather than policies. Policies are the result of personnel paying off constituencies, not pitches you run up the flagpole to solicit them.
If Trump and Vance can bring those resources to bear to actually dismantle the Left’s networks that have been festering for decades, and do it in a hurry, it’s possible we pull out of the power dive the country has been in for most of living memory.

Trump’s VP Decision: JD VanceJuly 16, 2024 By Kaisar 2 Comments
On JD VanceIt is now official. JD Vance, a self-proclaimed “Catholic Zionist” and anti-China neocon is Trump’s Vice President running mate.
What a choice. Especially given the fact that it is coming out only a couple of days after Trump was nearly assassinated.
It seems like half of the dissident sphere is excited about him, while others are not quite so enthusiastic about his choice.
I hate to always be the bearer of bad news. But I am rather firmly in the latter camp.
First off, Vance is solidly a part of Peter Thiel’s network. He has immensely strong connections to Israel. Prior to the past year of him vying for the VP slot, he would also have been a perfect posterboy for the overall neocon movement. Those two negative marks are a bit hard to overcome for me, even though he says nice things nowadays.
Was it truly a change of heart, or was it just a change of deep state objective? Time will tell.
Regardless, a neocon, Zionist, and previous ‘Never-Trumper’. That would not be my first choice.
JD Vance’s prior thoughts on Trump. Quite the switcheroo, huh?As always: The Wall picture for American politiciansNot a great look. For JD Vance or the RNC.Vance: Married to a Hindu democrat with race-mixed children. The pair were married in Kentucky in 2014, and blessed by a Hindu pundit in a separate ceremony. What a strong Catholic!Always great when our staunch conservatives are related to mRNA technology and progressive firms.…I guess at least it wasn’t Tulsi Gabbard.
Could be worse, but not much to write positively about with this pick. In all honestly, JD Vance has the same limitations that Pence had: A career zionist and neocon.
Guess Trump likes consistency in his VP picks.
Given this pick, Trump is apparently still terrible at choosing appointments and running mates, so not much has changed over the last four years. So much for him “going rogue”.
Looks like we’re stuck with another Pence, boys. Prep the memes:
I have heard a lot of people arguing that “the VP doesn’t really have much power, so it doesn’t matter”. That “all of this is just a fishing expedition to secure the neocons”. But has everyone forgot Pence certified a fraudulent election only four short years ago? If you take political levers and networking connections into account, it turns out the VP has quite a lot of power, it is just in unconventional areas. That is still power, whether it is traditional or not. And I’d prefer that power not be in the hands of a Zionist neocon when the world is already on the brink of World War 3.
But hey, that’s just me.
Oh well. It is what it is. More reasons to buy ammo.
The post Trump’s VP Decision: JD Vance appeared first on Identity Dixie.
On Saturday afternoon, while en route to a birthday party for an older family member in northwest Georgia, my texts and private messaging apps began receiving multiple messages: “Trump Shot.” One friend sent a clip of the incident. At first glance, it appeared as though the shots may have come from within the crowd, behind Trump. Another angle appeared to show Trump was hit, while another showed it may have missed. As with any such incident, rumors flew all around as to the details. Eventually, throughout the next day, the dust settled, and the information began to solidify. The details tell me this was an attempted assassination sanctioned by government operators.
Here is what we know are “the facts”: a 20-year-old loner with no discernable social media or political footprint drove approximately an hour from his home in western Pennsylvania, identified a perfect sniper’s perch that placed him 130 meters parallel of President Trump, climbed onto the rooftop of the perch, and fired eight rounds from a semiautomatic rifle at the former president, barely missing Trump’s head (tragically killing and wounding others). The Secret Service sniper on a parallel rooftop approximately 200 meters from the shooter, killed the would-be assassin. Let’s break this down.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, the young man who attempted to kill Trump, had no military training. Yet again, like almost every other young, White male shooter, Discord was the only site in which he appears to have had any online presence. Friends of Crooks said that he continued to wear a mask after the Covid “pandemic” was deemed over (masks are generally a sign of a leftwing bias). ABC News initially reported that Crooks was a member of a local “anti-racist” gun club in the Pittsburgh area, but there have been no additional reports on the “anti-racist” element. Regardless, Crooks had no military training, nominal social interaction, and possible gun training through his gun club. How does an untrained man slip through the Secret Service and multiple law enforcement agencies, climb a wall with a rifle, and take eight shots at a major political candidate before being noticed? He doesn’t.
More importantly is the geography of the attack. Crooks was not a local resident. He lived approximately 50 miles away. The rally, while advertised among the Trump voting crowd, was not a highly marketed event. It was a modest rally by Trump standards in a swing state just prior to the Republican National Convention. If Crooks had no real online presence, it is reasonable to ask the following question: how did a young man with nominal interaction online know enough about the rally venue to place himself less than 150 meters from the president on a building located in an area of which he had no comprehensive knowledge? Unfortunately, he is dead, so we will never know.
I have been to Trump rallies when he was president. The security was tight. Myself – a trained Marine, former government employee, and later government contractor who operated in more than seventy-five countries – had no previous knowledge of the rally’s schematics. Crooks somehow knew enough about the rally venue that he was able to position himself parallel to Trump. More importantly, Crooks had no connection to the town, or the rally place itself. He not only knew where to position himself, he knew the perfect building upon which to place himself.
Several reports stated that Trump rally attendees pointed at the young man on the roof and yet, it took at least thirty minutes for law enforcement to send someone to investigate. That could be forgiven IF the Secret Service or another law enforcement body had a protective sniper in that spot [i.e., civilians reporting the presence of an undercover LEO is not uncommon]. There was no law enforcement agency claiming that mantle or position, right? Maybe so.
Those kinds of perimeter positions are discussed in detail with law enforcement personnel to ensure there is no friendly fire among officers due to mistaken identity. In other words, they would have known immediately that someone was not supposed to be on that roof… unless someone said they would be there. If a member of the Sevcret Service stated he would be on that roof, it is then reasonable to dismiss the rally attendees’ concerns. It would also be reasonable to therefore assume that someone told other protective personnel that he/she would occupy that roof, enabling Crooks to take a position without causing concern amongst the rest of the detail and local law enforcement support. It is highly unlikely that the sniper perch that ultimately took out Crooks did not see him get onto the rooftop. You ignore that threat when you are told that the individual is one of your own.
Finally, there is the motive. I am not a fan of Trump. I also do not believe he is the threat that the Left claims him to be. In fact, I think he is the exact opposite of the descriptions attributed to Trump. However, there are some international and internal parties that are rooting for the globalist status quo. Here is my theory, for what it is worth.
In 2016, Trump took the establishment by surprise. I do not think Trump is necessarily part of the establishment or a false flag, as many on the political right believe. I think he was an accidental victor in 2016, hired by the American people as a big “screw you” to the Washington rulers and their minions. By 2020, the establishment was ready for Trump, and they pulled out all the stops – from the plandemic to the riots to the unguarded ballot boxes to the outrageous irregularities regarding computer voting machines. The extent to which the establishment went out of its way to kill the Trump presidency caught other international actors off guard – namely Russia and Israel (both friendly to a Trump presidency). They will not be caught off guard in 2024.
In a very real foreign meddling with American politics, I can envision competing intelligence agencies – Russia and Israel on one side versus American and European agencies on the other – duking it out behind the scenes. The American intelligence agencies will try to do that which they did in 2020 – steal the election – and the foreign intelligence agencies will work to stop them if, for no other reason, to create chaos in the system. This is not uncommon. Such genuine election interference happens frequently.
The belief that Biden could beat Trump in a fair election was crushed after the debate. His drugs did not kick in fast enough and everyone saw what we all knew for years: Biden is mentally deficient. The resultant turmoil within the Democratic Party forced the election back into the hands of unelected, shadowy bureaucrats. No doubt, they are likely already aware of other parties denying or attempting to deny them of the ability to electronically alter the outcomes. State actors in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona likely lack the capacity to take on Russian cyber teams ironically doing more to protect American democracy than “our” own government. The fix may be in, but it is being fought behind closed doors.
Naturally, the next option was to kill Trump – which they just tried to do.
A young man with no training and a minimal online presence was put into a physical position that was a chip shot for any competent shooter. Trump turned his head a split second the shot was fired and survived. The shooting was not a failure in security. It was intentional. It was planned. And I believe they will try again.
The post The Attempt on Trump: Dissecting an Inside Job appeared first on Identity Dixie.
The 2020 election was interesting because Americans got to experience their first color revolution while the nation was locked down due to a fake pandemic and then the precedent of securing victory in swing states with mail-in ballots after the Republican candidate won with actual ballots was established. We’ve got a playbook for 2024 that’s considered totally legitimate, so additional conspiracies are unnecessary.
This unquestionable election was preceded by the 2016 election which set the precedent that an election could be declared illegitimate, and the president impeached due to Russian meddling for which no plausible motive or proof could be offered beyond former and current intelligence officials vowing that this occurred.
In 2016, one was sophisticated and patriotic for understanding that Putin had stolen the election. Four years later, the notion an election could be tampered with was treason. Protesting at the Capitol with MAGA hats was an insurrection against America’s legitimate government, while hordes of violent rioters laying siege to the White House with Trump inside several months earlier was no such attempt.
This is all completely contradictory and schizophrenic because America is hijacked by paranoid Jews trying to maintain some semblance of a false Left-Right political dichotomy and the potential for the voters’ will to be expressed through elections. The results produced by the system are so bad that from this angle alone, it would eventually become impossible to maintain.
An additional problem is that they’re propelled by hatred and fear. To make matters worse, the political class and functionaries employed by Jews don’t appreciate the sensibilities required to maintain the illusion. The result is that things go too far, and the facade is tottering much earlier than it could under more realistic management.
It would’ve been much better for them to have let Trump win in 2020, maintain the illusion, and be rid of him for good five months from now. There’s nobody else like Trump out there who could catch the system off guard like he did in 2016, and he wasn’t really against their agenda to a significant degree. To the extent that he tried to go against it, he was nullified by his own administrative apparatus. He seems to be motivated mostly by his own self-aggrandizement anyways.
However, the fact that Trump gave White Americans the impression they could have their actual interests, such as stopping mass migration, accommodated by the system was too much for Jews to handle emotionally. I remember how much fun that was in the right-wing dissident sphere back in 2016, and we should’ve known they can’t even let us have our fun.

What’s never discussed outside our sphere is that a significant portion of the vote that put Trump over the top in 2016 came from White voters labeled as “extremists” by Jews, who never vote due to their cynical and accurate understanding of the current system of power in America. While Trump increased his overall vote total in 2020, and no other incumbent who has ever done that had lost, many of us didn’t bother to turn out a second time around.
It would be an open question whether or not he could win again under more fair circumstances like he did in 2016, but we’re following the precedent of 2020, so it’s probably safe to assume we’ll get a repeat. The bright side is that from the Jewish standpoint of managing appearances in order to maintain public complacency, the 2024 election is already guaranteed to be an unmitigated disaster.
After 4 years of failing to get rid of Trump on the bogus premise of Russian collusion, then attempting to gaslight the general public that there was a coup attempt on 1/6/2021, which the vast majority of Republicans don’t believe, and then hitting him with 39 bogus felonies, it’s going to be impossible to persuade half of the electorate that this assassination attempt was the work of a lone nutjob.
Logically, if all of the nonsensical legal avenues to prevent Trump from running this year have failed, the next step would be simply to kill him. There’s no escaping this one; it’s the last card left on the table. When the ballots get mailed in to put whoever is the Democrat candidate over, this assassination attempt is going to pose a very big problem.

My opinion is that this was the work of a lone nutjob abetted by the incompetence of Trump’s security team. Apparently, the Secret Service has been gutted by diversity just like everything else in America. Trump didn’t have Ghaddafi’s female bodyguards, but I saw a lot of women around him. The shooter climbed up to the top of a roof with the perfect perch for sniping him which had no security on it, and the Secret Service ignored the crowd trying to alert them a guy had climbed up.
It’s fun to get conspiratorial and point out that if the deep state used a sophisticated drone attack to kill Trump or poisoned him, it would point right back to them, so they needed to use a nutjob to make this look like a random attack. Still, I’m pretty sure the odds are that this shooter was just a nutjob acting on his own. America is packed with them. Remember that guy who set himself on fire outside Trump’s trial in NYC?
Good luck with persuading Republicans, though. They can’t even help themselves by simply admitting in the MSM that this was an assassination attempt. Unfortunately, I had to watch about 10 minutes of this when it happened on CNN, and they wouldn’t even say that Trump was shot. I had to find that part out with my phone. It’s the same playbook that’s been pissing everyone off since he came down that elevator at Trump Tower to announce his candidacy.
My local paper featured a headline this morning from the AP about how Trump was “safe” without mentioning he was even hit by a bullet or that anyone from the crowd had been hit, either. Meanwhile, the photo showed the blood on his face. This was in tandem with yet another article about January 6th. It’s amazing how they simply can’t learn that not only do these tactics not work, but they also achieve the opposite effect by antagonizing people with the surreal dishonesty.
CNN's Jamie Gangel attacks Trump for saying "Fight! Fight! Fight!" after someone tried to murder him.
Literally, she complains about what he did 5 seconds after he was shot

Oh yeah, and then there’s the tanking economy, the insane inflation hitting everyone, and the migration so bad even Democrat mayors are wailing about it. Also, the black crime wave, etc…
There’s no way to spin this assassination attempt that “lowers the temperature” and Trump is way too wily with his base to let this thing go without leveraging it to the max. He started on it as soon as he got hit by pumping his fist. This guy did WWE, remember? The election is only going to get more heated every day.
There’s a strong possibility Trump wins again at the polling stations until the mail-in ballots arrive all at once. Then, the shit would really hit the fan. This time around, we get the inflation not the free money like we did 4 years ago. What a mess. Things just have to go this way.
Trump's just been shot, and CBS anchor Margaret Brennan disparages him for not telling his followers to lower the temperature. Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/97R2FG97gG

I’ve found myself looking after elderly family members recently, which entails the consumption of evening news before supper. I naturally notice things, and spending lots of time outside the United States on business heightens my attenuation to our unique malaise. Even here in America, I’ve never bothered to get a cable package, so mandatory time in front of the mainstream media is really jarring and with the ads being the worst part.
When possible, I’ll grill a meal [pro tip: buy everything and bring it, don’t trust what’s in an elderly person’s fridge] for us outside, so I’m able to escape the news with a beer in their backyard. Last night, it was pouring rain so that route was closed. One thing you never see abroad are the drug commercials, so I guess Americans don’t have perspective on being subjected to these truly dystopian things which couldn’t be made up in a novel about a nightmare country in the future.
Nobody anywhere else steadily consumes long ads where 1/3 is about why you should tell your doctor to prescribe you this drug to relieve your agony and then the next 2/3 are about how you could perish from the horrific side effects while footage plays of contented people thriving in life.
Suicide is frequently mentioned as a side effect in any drug meant to improve your mood, help you sleep, or control some behavior like smoking. To improve your life, you’re rolling the dice on staying alive. I remember these Chantix ads. Of course, there are now multiple class action lawsuits.
This appears to be a part of the product cycle of many prescription drugs, and probably the companies factor them in as a cost of doing business ahead of time, calculating they’ll still come out ahead financially once the bodies are in the ground. Probably, it’s also about speculating about the stock price at particular times rather than the long term profitability of the company anyways.
Smoking seems vastly preferrable to these potentialities. Side effects include throwing yourself into an oncoming train. You could also just not smoke, which comes with no side effect but wanting a cigarette. You’re listening to the narrator talk about fatal bleeding while happy people browse a farmers’ market or play around at a sunny picnic, it’s a startling juxtaposition. Honestly, the ads for class action lawsuits over the drugs advertised in years past do have their comedic value.
Compounding my dismay is that, generally, I’m blissfully unaware of the maladies involved. For instance, prior to the commercial, I had no idea there was a disease so painful that one would consider having all of his teeth removed. Last night was the first time I heard about some sort of condition where extra skin forms in the penis that causes excruciating erections. Whew.
What does this do to people who consume it on a regular basis? If you notice such things, questions about the implications naturally follow. The other thing is that the elderly are the last demographic in America with the attention span to sit through steady rounds of these drug commercials. They’re nearly as lengthy as they are dystopian and it’s just one after the other.
I also ponder how this dynamic will develop in the future. My conclusion is that this will prove a fleeting moment in time because perhaps the Boomers will collect on their retirements, but looking at a demographic chart, even this doesn’t seem so likely over the next 20 years and that’s setting aside all of the budget issues and the long-term viability of the Yankee dollar as the global currency.
Ensuing generations probably won’t be getting scared into what drugs to ask their doctors about because none of us will be able to afford them, let alone retire. Medicine might go back to being far more improvisational, so there won’t be so much money to make off of all these prescription drugs for which nobody will be able to sit through the commercials.
Hey, look at the bright side, perhaps the medical techniques of yesteryear will be better than bleeding to death from a rectal ulcer because you were taking pills to improve the quality of your sleep or hanging yourself in the garage because you wanted to relieve your anxiety and you were led to believe a pharmaceutical company could do the trick.

Over the years, I’ve been in a multitude of conversations surrounding the Star Wars franchise. And, in a multitude of those conversations, the topic of favorite characters always seems to come up. People typically agree with my opinions (and trust me, I have a lot of them), but whenever I mention my love for Luke Skywalker, I’m met with mixed reactions. Why? Well, according to some teenage boys from my 12th grade English class, it’s because Luke is boring and doesn’t have the same intrigue/development as characters like Han Solo or Darth Vader. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love those characters too, but Luke is just as brilliant. He’s viewed as a generic protagonist, but his journey is anything but generic.
The best way I can explain my point is through the idea of destiny. When your average, run-of-the-mill hero is faced with destiny, it is usually the idea that they ought to be something more significant in the world than they think. And their facing of said destiny is becoming just that, significant.
But Luke? His destiny is centered around his desire to be a Jedi…a Jedi like his father. In A New Hope, that’s all well and good, because neither the audience nor Luke knew the truth; we just thought Anakin was a hero who was killed by Darth Vader. However, once we learn that Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are one in the same (the film’s been out for 41 years, that’s hardly a spoiler anymore), Luke’s destiny is the same as his doom; becoming a Jedi like his father means becoming the same monster that his father became.
When it comes to facing his destiny, Luke is told by both his mentors to, essentially, do his duty as the protagonist and kill the bad guy. In the end, Luke does not win the battle through violence, but through compassion; he does not kill the bad guy, he saves him. Luke never believed that his father was beyond redemption. As a Christian, this is the primary reason why George Lucas’ Star Wars is such an impactful story to me. Luke isn’t generic, he’s a catalyst for hope and redemption, a man anyone can look up to. And, at least to me, he doesn’t feel like a fictional character, he feels human.
It’s heartbreaking to think that a character as beautifully and brilliantly written as Luke has been completely butchered by Disney in recent years. Well, you know what they say: it takes years for an artist to create a masterpiece, but it takes a minute for one idiot with a hammer to destroy it.
Now, if I’ve still not convinced you to view Luke Skywalker in a different light, that’s fine. I’m all for people having a right to their own opinion…but I also have the right to say that your opinion is wrong.

Over the years it has been noted, at least in some quarters, how strongly the communist and socialist radicals (but I repeat myself here) in Europe supported the Northern cause during our War of Northern Aggression. Marx, Engels, and all of their leftist ilk literally drooled with their ardent desire for a Northern victory. Marx warmly congratulated Lincoln on his re-election in 1864. It was almost as if there was a Marx-Lincoln Mutual Admiration Society at work.
Bakunin, the Russian revolutionary, as well as other European leftists of various stripes all supported the Northern cause. In fact, they supported Lincoln and the Northern cause just as much as some Southern folks today that have been taught to feel guilty about their Southern heritage. You may know some folks like that. I have.
Leftists that took part in the socialist and communist revolts in Europe in 1848-49 flocked to this country from 1849 through the 1850s as they were run out of their own countries as well as other European countries that did not want left-wing revolutionaries on their soil. Many of these joined the Union army, thousands of them, in fact. There is much documentation for that which has been studiously ignored by our establishment “historians.” Oh, they may mention one or two of these people briefly in articles or books, but they never give you enough information to tell you what they were really all about or why they were over here. Walter Kennedy and I did this in our book Lincoln’s Marxists, recently republished by Shotwell Publishing under the title Lincoln, Marx, and the GOP.
However, putting aside the 19th century leftist radicals and other assorted 19th century pinkos, we might ask if there was any support in Europe for the Confederate Cause. There was, indeed. And, at least in England, that support came from ordinary everyday working people.
Mary Ellison, who has been a lecturer in the Department of American Studies at Keele University, wrote a book called Support for Secession—Lancashire and the American Civil War (University of Chicago Press). In this book she demolished the myths that have persisted for well over a hundred years that, during the War of Northern Aggression, the British working class, and in particular, the Lancashire cotton workers, dutifully supported the Northern cause. In most cases the exact opposite was true. The fact that most working people, at least in Lancashire, supported the Confederate States, has been very carefully muffled. Ellison wrote: “The war was consequently shattering in its impact on the country (Great Britain). The combustible nature of ideological complexities and tough economic repercussions detonated an explosion of sympathy for the Southern cause wherever unemployment was extensive.”
All across Lancashire there were meetings, held mostly by pro-Confederate groups, though pro-Unionists did hold some, but with little success. Ellison continued: “The actual evidence proves that the cotton interests of the country were united in seeking official British assistance for the abortive struggle of the Confederacy for independent life…Demands for pro-Confederate intervention were encased in orderly public meetings and carefully worded petitions that were sent to the government…Simultaneously, the national press overlooked the massive number of spontaneous meetings in support of the South and noted only the organized few that were attended by such noted Northern sympathizers as Cobden and Bright.” Does that sort of media blind spot sound rather familiar in our own day? The gentleman, Richard Cobden, here mentioned, had some interesting reasons for supporting the North. Turns out he was one of the prominent stockholders of the Illinois Central Railroad, and he also had irons in the fire in other Northern companies. So his support for the North was hardly charitable—unless charity begins at home!
When it was issued, the Emancipation Proclamation was viewed by British working people with somewhat less charity than we have been led to believe. Ellison noted: “The Emancipation Proclamation was rejected as nothing more than a military maneuver that hypocritically and ineffectually freed the Southern slaves while leaving those in the North in bondage.” Ellison, noting that British pro-Confederate supporters seemed unable to exert influence on the British government, but noted that this did not mean that pro-Southern support was not there, but that it lacked political clout. It was somewhat akin to our later version of the “silent majority”. Rather our prostitute press made sure they got little notice.
Even English clergymen speaking at meetings recognized that Northern military strategy was really what dictated emancipation measures. Emancipation, contrary to contemporary popular propaganda, was not the humanitarian gesture we have been told it was.
It should be observed that many of the British, while personally opposed to slavery, felt that an independent South would eventually free the slaves, and that slaves would be better off that way than being used as political pawns by the North. One British newspaper editorialized on “the whole Northern attitude that saw Negroes as catspaws and cannon fodder.” That was not too inaccurate an assessment.
One speaker in England maintained that, to save the Union, the North “would rivet the chains of the Negro still faster, and bind the slaves in chains of eternal bondage to gain their purpose.” Almost sounds as if this speaker had read the Corwin Amendment I referred to in a previous article. He was totally correct. That was, and is, the real reason for all the “civil rights” legislation we’ve seen in the years since the War of Northern Aggression. The real name of the game was not emancipation, but rather the transfer of control—from the private ownership of the plantation to the public control and oversight of Washington, D.C. Think about that a little bit.
In conclusion, bear in mind again, that support for the Yankee cause came from European leftists and other assorted anti-Christ types. Support for the Confederate States came from ordinary working people who didn’t have the political clout to get their government’s attention, and who the media mostly ignored. So what has changed in the past 160 years? Not much, more’s the pity!

Continuing the theme of Them allowing Trump to “win” only to kneecap him in 2025, get rid of him and replace him with a pliable strongman to “save us”…. (see: It Doesn’t Seem As Far Fetched Now).
There may be trouble looming on the horizon for theU.S. stock market, according to BCA Research.
In a note to clients last week, BCA Research chief global strategist Peter Berezin warned that, contrary to popular belief, the economy will fall into a recession either this year or in early 2025.
Should that happen, the S&P 500 could tumble to 3,750, which marks a 30% drop from current levels.
Berezin’s prediction hinges on the belief that the labor market will slow notably in coming months, which will weigh heavily on consumer spending – a major driver of economic growth. The relationship between inflation and unemployment is measured by something called the “Phillips curve.”https://archive.ph/Arv3g
I hadn’t heard of BCA Research, so I looked it up and it is a Canadian firm. Weird, why is Fox Business running some prediction from a Canadian “investment research company”? If you are a suspicious sort like me, it sounds like a prescriptive prognostication, making a “prediction” of something already pre-ordained to happen. Start to get people thinking about an upcoming “deep recession” next year that just happens to coincide with Trump taking office. If they are expecting it, then the timing won’t seem as suspicious.
While it is true that the economy is crap, those with decent portfolios in the market have been doing pretty well. This is a 5-year chart of the S&P 500. July 1st of 2019 the S&P 500 closed at 2980. July 1st, 2024, it closed at 5537. That is close to a 90% return in five years, meaning if your money was in an S&P 500 index fund with low expenses, it has almost doubled in just five years. That is a scorching return.
Source: https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/spx/chartsYou want to see the White Boomers and suburban normies call for Trump’s head, start hitting their 401k plans and IRAs. They won’t give a shit about the fate of their White grandkids if it looks like they won’t have as much wealth to retire on as they were expecting.
Consider this as well. I have pointed out on many occasions that a significant and growing percentage of chiefs of police and prosecutors are either Soros-supported or just generally leftist activists that seem more interested in “equity” than justice, “equity” in this case meaning letting violent black criminals out of jail as fast as they can be processed. It won’t take much to simply dial back the prosecutions even more than They already have, and disheartened cops are less likely to bother arresting people if they just walk right back out of jail.
Add in the antifa being unleashed and maybe a couple of shaky killings of young Miracle-Americans and cities can start burning again.
All of it will be blamed on the Orange Man.
A principle I hold firmly is that if you make things intolerable enough for the average person, they will accept anything to bring some semblance of peace and security back to their lives.
Perhaps I am being paranoid or giving Them too much credit. Maybe not. Either way if you have been paying attention, you can’t put it past them to destroy the country in order to “save” it and rebuild things in Their image. I believe that They would rather rule over ruins than be forced to pretend that peasants like you and I are Their equals.

An individual in the dissident sphere has started a new side project. It is called “Kinism” and you can find it on Telegram here.
He has been putting out some solid information and visuals, so I wanted to share it with you all. Here is a quick snapshot of some of their materials:
They also have a catechism on Kinism here: https://kinism.tiiny.site/.
Do note that all of this is very new. The catechism is even on Version 1.0. I am just sharing it to help them get off the ground—So don’t go into it expecting perfection or an in-depth movement already formed. But the work they have put out thus far in their infancy has been solid, and well worth sharing.
I hope you all find use in it. Cheers.

It’s hard to think of a more opportune time than the Fourth of July to point out the blindingly obvious. You’ll notice this is not the day where we celebrate a minor functionary in the Sandwich Islands indicting the King of England; nor is it the day on which we celebrate catching Lord North in a minor paperwork error and hauling him before a New York judge. Somehow, a republic was established without the benefit of a wise latinks’ subpoena power.
Ultimately, it came down to raw, naked force, and the willingness of a local elite to roll the dice on controlling their own destiny on a new continent, rather than settling for being a talent reservoir for His Majesty’s intrigues on the old. There were certainly legalistic appeals and justifications, but two hundred and fifty years later, we literally do not care if they were correct. Sorry Jack, pool’s closed.
Judges find this fact unpalatable, because it highlights the extent to which their power derives from social consensus rather than, you know, power. They find themselves in an uncomfortable position where on the one hand they don’t want to be mere administrators of state power, but on the other hand, clearly cannot act in actual opposition to it. So we get histrionics about Justice and Truth and the True Spirit of Aloha instead, as they try to imply they are the mediums by which transcendent pre-political principles reflect themselves upon society, as opposed to mostly providing consistent rules for resolving minor civil disputes so everyone can get on with their lives.
The Sotomayor dissents to the big “political” cases this Supreme Court term are funny, legitimately humorous, because they take this bait so hard one is concerned that her diabeetus is subjecting her to some sort of metabolic disorder. Did you know that, according to the majority’s logic, if the President discovered the ancient Eye of Horus encased in the Capitol Crypt and summoned a powerful Egyptian demon to sacrifice the population of DC in a ritual ascending him to a God-King – he might not be able to be prosecuted? Even though you shouldn’t do that? And converting the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to drainage for a blood drenched altar is arguably in violation of the National Parks Service regulations on event permitting (although with Chevron deference also overturned, who knows)? This is very dangerous to Our Democracy!
Under the circumstances, one might suspect one has bigger things to worry about, or that more drastic measures might need to be taken, than… convening a Grand Jury. The risk you undertake in an attempted coup is that you are shot, during or after, not that you may be prosecuted for, inter alia, gazing upon Forbidden Documents. Conversely, if any official with prosecutorial power (literally tens of thousands of people, by the way) can contrive an argument that you trying to get elected is a crime, the obvious equilibrium is for you to make their arguments irrelevant. What is the penalty for losing an election, and what is the penalty for not having one?
For all their talk of Our Democracy, libs are aghast at the idea that voters might actually get to choose the Orange Beast, again, against the wishes of a guy who has literally never been voted on by anyone for anything – but as much as they would like to, they cannot simply say “we are declaring a state of exception to rid ourselves of a tyrant”. If libs engaged with this logic, they would be on a slippery slope to endorsing the American Revolution, the Second Amendment, or even America itself – horrors in their mind greater even than Trump.

A significant percentage of the men born the same year as Joe Biden are already dead. Unfortunately, going senile is something that often happens to those who reach the age of 81. It’s not implausible that a man of this age would be having cognitive problems. In fact, it’s quite possible.
However, if this man was President Biden, who spent years speaking incoherently and walking around confused on national television, his cognitive decline was a conspiracy theory until last week. His deteriorating condition was obvious to any observer, but this may have led to you being dismissed as a conspiracy theorist for commenting on the subject.
Now that everyone suddenly acknowledges that he’s senile, be pleased to discover that you’re no more credible with anyone who dismissed you as a conspiracy theorist for pointing out this obvious thing than you were before. What was fiction is now fact, and that’s all there is to it.

How many of your friends or family characterized you as idiotic or insane for refusing the COVID injections? Now that they’ve been totally discredited, are you any less of a nutjob in their estimation? I’m certainly not. It was completely obvious that what was, at worst, the flu and was not a justification for mandating experimental genetic injections, for which no valid data existed to prove they were even safe. Nobody talks about it anymore.
Likewise, nobody talks about Iraq or Afghanistan but was then assured the Russians would lose to the Ukrainians in a lopsided fashion that was comical in its severity while their economy collapsed. Now that this hasn’t happened, and clearly won’t happen, everyone who predicted this from the start is still on the fringe while the people who turned out to be dead wrong are still providing their commentary on mainstream platforms while their consumers are undeterred by them getting things consistently incorrect.
One is tempted to assume that the combination of making a correct evaluation of a situation, while providing evidence and a rationale for this evaluation, would make you credible with anybody once the reality of the situation is acknowledged to match what you explained to them. Unfortunately, it’s only with certain people who are also likely to be dismissed as extremists, idiots, or lunatics like yourself.
Pointing out that you made a correct prediction based on facts is just going to piss off anyone who believed the lie. The anger is going to be directed at you and not themselves for getting conned. Has anyone who banned you from something for refusing the vaccination apologized?
The Biden senility saga comes as no surprise in light of the fact that the average person can be conned into having themselves injected with poison. COVID functioned as an unsettling proof of just how gullible they can be, so the Biden stuff is some fun political baseball to distract ourselves from the civilizational nightmare we’re living in.
There are still plenty of people to reach with the truth, which always makes the production of content in the dissident sphere worthwhile. The question is if enough of these people exist to affect some sort of civilizational U-Turn. We keep getting these reminders to not get our hopes up, so maybe all you’ll have is your personal satisfaction at being correct as the world burns around you.

We wish most of you well. We need not be enemies. The race of Christendom – Europeans – the White race – spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every corner of this world. For this, we are proud and unapologetic.
The Jew, the enemy of Jesus Christ, remains His enemy, our enemy, and the enemy of all races. (1 Thessalonians 2:14-16)
We seek to live in peace, separately. Why? Because we are not you, and you are not us.
We find no Christian need to welcome your language, morals, religion, nor race. Nor should you feel the need to adopt our God, language, customs, or nation. We have noticed, in fact, that many do not, even when welcomed into our nations. So, we return the sentiment, and the actions. Our reasonable accommodation is to respect our differences, go peacefully our separate ways, and build our own societies for the benefit of our children, the honor of our ancestors, and in obedience to our God.
The White and Christian race finds no reason to justify this stance any more than justifying the exclusiveness of marriage, the beneficial influence of fences between neighbors, nor the inviolability of a home to a man and his wife and their own children; no one outside of that family has any right to live with them nor should they arrogantly expect to be welcomed.
Our national borders must be as sacred as our marriage vows, our fences and our homes. We have noticed the hatred of the Jew and the black and Muslim toward the White race and decide that it is against our God, our ancestors, and our offspring to have patience with it any longer. We owe no race our own destruction, nor will we not allow our children to be taught to hate their ancestors. This is a violation of the Fifth Commandment and, in fact, is worthy of death. We owe our ancestors, descendants, and our God a vibrant and separate Christian race unaccommodating to those who have sought our annihilation.
We support homogenous ethno-states – for all ethnos – because this is the order laid out in the story of Genesis chapters 10 and 11. Rebuilding Babel is an affront to our God. We support homogenous ethno-states the same way we support exclusiveness in marriage and the sanctity of a man’s home; we utterly disdain to waiver on any of these – there is no reason to even contemplate it.
We will not tolerate living cheek by jowl with peoples, starting with the Jews, who hate us, accuse us, and attempt to saddle us with false-guilt and self-loathing. We utterly reject this evil. Should non-Whites living in White lands hold fast to their hatred, they will be expelled for our mutual benefit; after all, why would they want to live with a people they consider evil?
The White race, and its unique component nations, are beautiful, intelligent, wise, and are the historical and racial repository of the Christian faith. The Jew, in his own words, seeks our destruction. We do not apologize to men for our ancestors’ misdeeds.
We apologize to our God, Jesus Christ, for seeking accommodation and compromise with peoples who are not us, who hate us, and who worship not our God.
We are not moved by charges of “racism,” or “xenophobia,” or “antisemitism,” nor any such false moralities (sexist, homophobic, queer phobic) that have been invented to manipulate our White and Christian race. The use of these words is as odious as any racial epithet that you imagine insults your own people. We are done with that.
We reject all calls for reparations, apologies, equality, equity, or any measure that seeks to impose a burden upon our race that the Almighty has not placed upon us. Our obligation is to Christ, our ancestors, and our children. Our duty is to preach the truth of Jesus Christ and to create Christian nations – this IS the Great Commission.
We utterly reject moral codes foreign to the Christian Holy Scriptures.
We do not respect Allah, Buddha, the Talmud, Krishna, Baal, Lucifer or the modern secular atheism that has taken over a Christian people and Christian lands. We will not allow Temples, Synagogues, or Mosques nor will we subsidize atheism in our halls of learning.
Calls for “tolerance” have been used exclusively to tear down the moral and philosophical fabric of our Christian nation and the vitality of our European and Christian race. We have no tolerance for our own destruction nor those who pursue that end.
The First Commandment governs our nation, and this points exclusively to Jesus Christ as the Lord, Lawgiver and Judge of all of mankind. This law shall be upon our walls, our courts, our schools and our homes.
We are not moved by accusations of “intolerance” nor “divisiveness.” The Almighty is intolerant of Biblical evil, and quite divisive considering the destruction of a place called Babel which forced all peoples to centralize under one ruler and in one place.
Slogans such as “No nations, no borders,” and “one race – the human race,” we find odious. Hypocrites have been applied these lies to Christendom while the Jew demands his ethno-state and the black genocides our racial brethren in South Africa.
We do not litigate our position. Our ancestors sinned by rejecting Christ our King for the putrid “tolerance” of the Jew and their allies; we right this wrong by building explicitly Christian nations.
We will return our nation to Jesus Christ. It is worth the fight. Non-White races that can live respectfully with the White and Christian nation – without making demands – are not our concern. We owe you nothing. Be good guests or leave. You have our respect only if you earn it.
The Jews are Satan’s children, the enemy of all mankind, the hands and feet of the devil. Jews inspire racial animus towards the White race and hatred toward Jesus Christ. We apologize to our God for thinking better of the Jew than Jesus Christ did (John 8:44, Rev 3:9, Rev 2:9). Their destiny is Luke 19:27 and Christian peoples exalt the Judgement of Christ, as the issue has already been decided.
Our goal is not to be friends with the world. White and Christian lands have no King but Christ. Our obligation is to our ancestors, our descendants, and our God. The time for accommodation is over.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, supposedly the “far right” or even just “right-wing” parties have been winning in Europe. France, Germany, et al. We’ve all seen the news.
Americans and Europeans alike like to pretend that European political parties are different from ours because they have more of them, but their system is no different from ours. It is the same uniparty nonsense that exists here.
There is no left or a true Right within the traditional political party system. It’s not viable for them to exist there. If they did, they would get banned. Like Germany is likely to do with AfD if they step out of line.
Every once in a while, the elites excite the population by letting a more fringe element of the same uniparty get a few extra seats. It’s a tactic to dull the masses. Let off some steam, if you will.
The process by fringe politicians of the uniparty is literally the same song and dance every single time. Just start watching out for it:
Just look at Trump and his immigration discourse over time:
The exact same thing happened with Giorgia Meloni. She is now also actively calling for more immigrants, after being elected solely on her stance of zero immigrants.
You could take this above template and apply it to any political position of a so-called “far right” political party.
Every politician has imaginary balls and testosterone pre-election, but gets neutered during their term, and then is lacking so many hormones for so long by post-term that they are practically a sissified leftist eunuch.
It’s just the way it goes.
Every single “far right” political party follows that same process:
They might actually keep some of their old positions, but only the ones that are truly insignificant in the eyes of the uniparty. Anything that would actually help us overcome this system is quickly and quietly abandoned.
Geert Wilders, Marine Le Pen, and all of these other uniparty stooges will do the same thing. Our people will spearhead them to the top so they can just lie to your face.
None of these fools is going to change Europe, just like Trump is not going to change anything here. We need people outside of the political parties for real change. Our actions in the system can only prolong the inevitable; never accomplish victory.
The true “far right” wants a new, better system; We are not interested in happily operating to our own advantage within the existing one. None of these parties are fighting for that, because they all benefit tremendously from the current system. Until strong men step outside of these bounds, we will forever be dealing with neutered uniparty stooges.
It’s not blackpilled to recognize this reality. It’s just the way it works. We can still win, but it won’t be through this kind of victory.
I don’t know how many times it has to be said, but we’re not going to win this thing by voting. Those of you hoping for that electoral victory are going to be forever disappointed.
EDIT: I was found right, already. I first drafted this article a week ago, and Marine Le Pen is already bending the knee before my publishing date for this piece even hit:
In break with its past, French far-right now supports Israel
In a break with its past, and with fresh legislative elections set for this weekend, France’s far right is now supporting Israel rather than being critical of it.
After being anti-Israel in its early years, the far-right party National Rally (RN), now under Marine Le Pen, who took the party helm in 2011, has changed its position radically.
The party won more than 30% of the vote in the June 9 European Parliament elections, a blow that led French President Emmanuel Macron to acknowledge his centrist bloc’s defeat, dissolve parliament, and announce snap elections, set to begin on Sunday and conclude a week later.
The announcement jolted France across the political spectrum.
The Israeli offensive on Gaza, which has claimed over 37,000 lives since last October, and the recognition of Palestinian statehood were among the top issues for the parties in this context.
Since its founding in 1972, the National Rally has been accused of using antisemitic language, and Marine Le Pen’s father, the party’s founding leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, was known for his criticism of Israeli attacks on Palestinians.
The elder politician went so far as to describe the Gaza Strip as a “concentration camp where people are deprived the chance to defend themselves” – an assessment many modern critics of Israel would tend to agree with.
In contrast, however, Marine Le Pen, argues that the National Rally has been in favor of the creation of a Jewish state throughout its history, calling it a longtime Zionist party.
Uniparty, uniparty, uniparty. A complete uniparty flip in a matter of days.
Just watch the process:
Congrats, French right-wingers. Your so-called “far right” political party in France was just re-defined as a “longtime Zionist party”.
Unbelievable. You really cannot make this **** up.

Upon the agreement of the Young Dixie Executive Board, we have decided to put forward publicly an aggressive platform to defeat feminism in a Free South. The platform below is a work in progress, as we seek feedback from our fellow Southerners.

It has been said that those of us who disagree with, and challenge, the accepted narrative of “The Civil War” and Abraham Lincoln are “rewriting history.” The truth is, we are trying to correct history by presenting the side never told. As the saying goes, “there are two sides to every story,” but why is it that the Yankee rewritten version of “history” is all we ever see or hear? When trying to present the truths missing from the history books, we often hear, “You lost the war. Get over it.” That is quite a shallow and narrow-minded attitude to take. What are the ones who support the accepted narrative trying to hide? Why do they want to shut us up? Liars fear truth. The truth can stand on its own merits. Lies fall apart. Let us examine some of these “accepted narratives” we have had pummeled into our heads for over 160 years.
The Civil War was fought to “free the slaves”That has a humanitarian theme, and sounds like a good thing, but it is entirely false. No Union soldier fired one shot to “free the slaves,” and no Confederate soldier fired one shot “to protect slavery.” There were slave states in the Union after the South seceded, and they held over 429,000 slaves (1860 Census). During the war, West Virginia (which was unconstitutionally formed) was admitted into the Union as a slave state. Lincoln countermanded General Fremont’s orders and had emancipated slaves returned to their masters in Missouri. After reading these facts, the “fought to free the slaves” argument just doesn’t pass the smell test. Also, Lincoln supported the Corwin Amendment which would have forever made it illegal to abolish slavery, if the seceded states would return to the Union and ratify it. Lincoln, himself, said the war was not being waged over slavery. There were Union officers (Grant, Sherman, and others) who owned slaves, but they were “fighting to free the slaves”? Let’s look at a couple of quotes. There are many more, but for the sake of time and space we will look at only these two.
“We didn’t go into the war to put down slavery, but to put the flag back; and to act differently at this moment would, I have no doubt, not only weaken our cause, but smack of bad faith…”
Abraham Lincoln
“Sir”, said Grant, “I have no doubt in the world that the sole object is the restoration of the Union. I will say further, though, that I am a Democrat — every man in my regiment is a Democrat — and whenever I shall be convinced that this war has for its object anything else than what I have mentioned, or that the Government designs using its soldiers to execute the purposes of the abolitionists, I pledge you my honor as a man and a soldier that I will not only resign my commission, but will carry my sword to the other side, and cast my lot with that people.”
Democratic Speaker’s Handbook, p. 33 (1868)
The South wanted to protect and perpetuate slavery to the western territoriesWell, that myth is beyond absurd. Common sense refutes this myth. By the very act of seceding from the Union and establishing its own country, the South locked itself OUT of any rights to territories belonging to the U.S. The Confederate Constitution outlawed the importation of slaves, so if it wanted to “protect and perpetuate” slavery, why did it outlaw the importation of slaves? Slavery was dying out in the South and there were five times as many abolition groups in the South as there were in the North. The South wanted to be done with slavery and many had already freed their slaves. If the South wanted to “protect slavery,” it had only to stay in the Union where it was already protected. The South was working towards gradual emancipation so that the blacks could gradually be prepared to enter society as free people. The ending of slavery in the South was a byproduct of the war, not the cause for it.
Secession was treasonSecession being legal was taught at West Point from William Rawle’s “Views on the Constitution” published in 1825. It was used as a textbook for one year and remains in the library today. Americans who oppose secession for the Southern states find themselves bed partners with the communist generals of Yugoslavia and communist hard-liners of the former Soviet Union. What was condemned in 1861 was sanctioned by the Republican Party in 1991 when Vaclav Havel of Czechoslovakia withdrew his country from the Soviet Union’s orbit, but Jefferson Davis and his fellow Southerners are called traitors for doing the same thing.
The 10th Amendment protects a states’ right to withdraw from the Union. If a state voluntarily joined, it can voluntarily withdraw.
New England threatened to secede over the War of 1812, yet no force was threatened against them to remain in the Union. Our Founding Fathers knew secession was a right held by the states.
Among the Founding Fathers there was no doubt. The United States had just seceded from the British Empire, exercising the right of the people to “alter or abolish” – by force, if necessary – a despotic government. The Declaration of Independence is the most famous act of secession in our history, though modern rhetoric makes “secession” sound somehow different from, and more sinister than, claiming independence.
The original 13 states formed a “Confederation,” under which each state retained its “sovereignty, freedom, and independence.” The Constitution didn’t change this; each sovereign state was free to reject the Constitution. The new powers of the federal government were “granted” and “delegated” by the states, which implies that the states were prior and superior to the federal government.”
After Lincoln’s illegal War of Northern Aggression, Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy, was arrested and placed in prison prior to a trial. The trial was never held, because the chief justice of the Supreme Court, Mr. Salmon Portland Chase, informed President Andrew Johnson that if Davis were placed on trial for treason the United States would lose the case because nothing in the Constitution forbids secession. That is why no trial of Jefferson Davis was held, despite the fact that he wanted one!
Because of our progressive-liberal public education system, many Americans now believe the myth that secession is treasonable. The Declaration of Independence was, in fact, a declaration of secession. Its final paragraph declares inarguably the ultimate sovereignty of each state:
That these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved of 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.
Following the Declaration of Independence, each colony established by law the legitimacy of its own sovereignty as a state. Each one drew up, voted upon, and then ratified its own state constitution, which declared and defined its sovereignty as a state. Realizing that they could not survive upon the world stage as thirteen individual sovereign nations, the states then joined together formally into a confederation of states, but only for the purposes of negotiating treaties, waging war, and regulating foreign commerce.
If secession was not legal, why did Northern Congressional Representatives Florence (PA), Sickles (NY), and Ferry (CT) propose constitutional amendments to prohibit secession?
The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slavesYou say, “His Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves! That proves he was against slavery.” Lincoln’s words: “I view the matter (Emancipation Proclamation) as a practical war measure, to be decided upon according to the advantages or disadvantages it may offer to the suppression of the rebellion.” He also wrote: “I will also concede that emancipation would help us in Europe, and convince them that we are incited by something more than ambition.” At the time Lincoln wrote the proclamation, war was going badly for the Union. London and Paris were considering recognizing the Confederacy and considering assisting it in its war effort.
All one has to do to debunk this myth is to actually read the Proclamation. It “freed” slaves in areas NOT under federal control, but expressly left them in bondage where it actually could have freed them.
At least 200,000 Union soldiers deserted after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation came out, 120,000 evaded conscription, and over 90,000 Northern men fled to Canada to avoid conscription, and thousands more hid in the Pennsylvania mountains to hide from enrollment officers. That seems to have been left out of the history books.
We have not even discussed the fact that Lincoln invaded over Southern tariffs, not slavery. The South was paying 85% of the federal revenues, which was unconstitutional. Also, it was the New England Yankees working the slave trade, on ships built by slaves, flying Old Glory, that transported the slaves into the U.S., Caribbean, and South America. But it is the South that gets all the blame for slavery.
This only scratches the surface of the truth. Several other issues look different when you hear “the rest of the story,” as Paul Harvey used to say. There are countless accounts of the Yankee atrocities visited upon Southern civilians, black and white. Lincoln’s army murdered, raped, looted, and burned its way across the South, and when Sherman would tell Lincoln of the atrocities committed by the army, Lincoln would laugh and tell him to repeat it over again. What has been taught in our public school system about Lincoln is nothing but fabricated myths.
Over 160 years of rewritten “history” has brainwashed generations of Americans, just as it was intended to do. But the truth cannot be buried forever, and many of us know the truth and are putting it out there. We do not have the communist media, Hollywood, and politicians to back us with the truth like they back the fabricated rewritten version of history. In this age of information being literally at our fingertips, there is no excuse for anyone to not know the truth. Since we cannot depend on academia, the media, or Hollywood to tell us the truth, it is up to each one to learn it on their own. I will close with a short list of very good books that will help anyone seeking the truth.
God Bless Dixie!

In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum, a disheartened little girl from Kansas is wistfully taken to the utopian world she has always dreamt of. Unexpectedly, a catastrophic whirlwind hurls her into a land of delightful people, magically enchanted fellow travelers, horrible and beautiful witches, all in brilliant technicolor. But once there, all she ever wants is to return to her mundane, black-and-white way of life, back to normalcy, back to “home sweet home.” And there is only one person who can get her back, a very powerful and wonderful wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!
But, there’s a catch. There’s always a catch.
After gaining great fame in Oz by crushing a wicked witch under her deplorable, old home, she and her hopeful friends press forward, happily singing and dancing along a yellow brick road. Along the way, they survive many attacks by evil forces, making it all the way to the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Oz rules in benevolence. With great expectation, the wizard will grant her humble wish, she enters the great hall. And though she pleads her case, the Oz requires more. For though he is powerful, he still lacks the one token that will make the little girl’s dream come true. He needs just a little more, and with great drama and self-aggrandizing flare, he asks Dorothy to slay another wicked witch, and bring evidence the nasty deed has
been done.
Every election cycle, Southerners are asked to give a little bit more, vote a little harder, vote for the right candidate, the one that will make America great again, or some other nonsense. In 2016, there was great hope, as the Wizard of the Deal, Donald J. Trump, descended down the golden promise escalator in Manhattan, New York. He astonished the citizens of Oz with all his magnificent and magical words. And through happenstance, he arrived in the Emerald City victorious in his magical hot air balloon.
All of Oz was astounded! There was shouting for joy alongside weeping and gnashing of teeth. Those that greeted his arrival with joy soon found the previous regime was not going to let him rule in peace. Those that still wanted the wicked witch to rule immediately began to undermine the not-so-powerful Oz. Instead of giving those that loved him what they wanted, he wasted his time trying to gain the affection of those that despised him. In the end, his rule was filled with fire balls of flash and loud speeches. It turned out, he was not a wonderful wizard, but just another politician hiding behind the curtain of empty promises.
Brothers and sisters, we have followed that yellow brick road; we have done all that the wizards of the American Empire have asked us to do… and still it is not enough. Just as Dorothy learned after all the hardships she and her fellow travelers faced, there is no place like home, and no wizard, no matter how great and powerful, can get you what you desire most. The brains, the heart, and the courage have always been within you. Our return to a wholesome and familial South is only a click of the heels away, if you’re willing to believe.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

Various European/White nationalist groups will often find many diverse people fighting against our beliefs.
But it is not so much that these groups dislike nationalism (or identitarianism/kinism/whatever you want to call it); it is just they don’t like our group having it.
They simply don’t like the “White nation in their own land” version of nationalism.
Nonwhites are perfectly fine supporting nationalism when it is to the betterment of their own group or people.
For instance:
Zionist Jews are the most obvious example here. But this logic can and should be extended even past the Zionists. It is the same logic used by American blacks and other ethnic groups. In France, for instance, the same argument is often used by the Arabs regarding Islamic nationalism.
We often pretend that these groups are fighting against nationalism. But it is quite the opposite: By fighting against various White nationalists, the ethnics are fighting for their own version of in-group nationalism. They sure aren’t fighting for the leftist-white “diversity utopia” lie.
Because these various ethnic groups exist as a parasite on us, they do not want Whites to form a bloc to remove them from their leeching activity. By working together as an ethnic bloc(s), they keep their group in a stronger position. They know that if Whites made our group preferences a priority, it would therefore reduce their ability to thrive at our expense.
This strategy is simply nationalism by different means. Instead of having a strong nation in their own land as we Whites typically envision ‘nationalism’, they instead want a strong nation in our land where we provide for them at our own expense. On top of this, they also get their own countries filled with their own people somewhere else, just in case things don’t work out well over here.
I’d still call that nationalism, just an inferior and vile version of it.
By fighting White nationalism, the various ethnics, Zionists, and hordes of illegal migrants are far better off. Especially as a collective group (or one could say: Nation). But this version of nationalism happens at our expense.
The harder these groups fight against White nationalism, the harder they fight FOR [insert their ethnicity here] nationalism.
Hilariously, the reality is that all of these anti-nationalist groups love nationalism. They just don’t love White nationalism.

Modern conflicts involving the USA are propelled by the ambitions of Jews. If you’re trying to assess why these things occur, never conflate evil and aggression with reason and courage or any moral authority whatsoever. If one does, there’s no way to predict that these events are going to happen.
One couldn’t predict the Global War on Terrorism on the logical premise that it was possible or necessary to fight a war against a strategic concept, which was actually pioneered by Jews to drive the Arabs out of Palestine. It was possible, however, if you read what the Jews who were planning it were writing, and you were willing to acknowledge that they were in the driver’s seat.
It served no interest of the American people to overthrow the government of Ukraine and foment a civil war to trap the Russians in a quagmire, while sanctions caused their economy to collapse so the Federation could descend into chaos and be broken up into separate entities under Zionist control. This wasn’t even a feasible project, so it couldn’t have been predicted from that angle, either.
Likewise, Putin had determined that a protracted conflict wouldn’t serve Russia’s best interests and signed on the dotted line for compromises to end the civil war twice, and once to end his intervention at its outset. It’s only the Jews that provide a decisive explanation for any of this horror. It continues purely to serve their interests and those of no one else.
We’re now facing an escalation in Lebanon by Netanyahu. The entire state of Israel is predicated on the notion that its residents will be mostly safe and comfortable while they eventually get rid of all the Arabs. Pretty much any Jew in Israel can obtain another passport if they don’t already have one. If Hezbollah and Iran take out critical infrastructure in retaliation, as they’ve promised to do, that’s it for the state of Israel. Jews flee after their gambits fail; this is an established playbook.
These aren’t courageous people. The fastest growing segment of the population which serves as Netanyahu’s critical voting block refuses to even serve in the military because they claim that praying to their demon is a valid alternative contribution to Israel’s security. It’s literally that crazy. The gay pride parade Jews are the ones stuck doing the combat, and that’s been going rather poorly for them. Israel isn’t a country with the will or demographic potential to fight the conflicts it started.
Like I said, one can’t use reason to predict why these things are happening. The Jews spent generations brainwashing the Western public about how they’re the most aggrieved victims because a fake genocide was done to them, so they can’t be criticized instead of the fact that they have power, which is actually why they can’t be criticized.
They’ve done more to squander this hideous advantage in the past year than all the years since 1945. It’s not possible to claim successfully that you can’t do anything wrong because you were the victims of a fake genocide while you do a real genocide for the entire world to watch in anger. Objectively, this ploy is truly insane, but their power comes through deceit and corruption, so it’s fundamentally unsustainable.
Everything has to unravel on the Jews and go spectacularly wrong. These people simply can’t help themselves, reform their behavior, or even moderate it. As Christ warned, they’re the children of the devil and they murdered Him. It can’t go any other way but wrong for them. Their path leads to the fires of hell, so any win they score along the way is only temporary. The bad part is that we’re getting sucked in and dragged along with these problems they inexorably create for themselves rather than living as decent human beings.

There’s not going to be any process of reform that involves the Jews. Only disasters, of which we careen from one to the next. Thus, concluding they won’t invade Lebanon because they didn’t even have what it takes to defeat Hamas in the tiny Gaza Strip, which they’ve admitted, or that the consequence of this gamble not paying off are existential, is misguided. We’re discussing the Jews, not rational actors.
Clearly, Netanyahu and his Jewish faction have assumed that they’ll be able to take the territory they want in Lebanon up to the Litani River while the U.S. military flattens the country from above, while simultaneously taking on Iran and deterring Russian intervention. The conflict and fait accompli will secure their hold on political power. These are very bad ideas.
The Russians have put up with incredible provocations on their own soil to avoid escalating into a third world war, so perhaps it’s reasonable to assume that whatever happens in Lebanon isn’t enough for them to strike the U.S. military, either. Still, Iran and Hezbollah have promised to fight and demonstrated their capabilities to defeat the Israeli military and take out the infrastructure that enables daily life in Israel.
If the Israelis do invade, this would be terrible for us because the entire capabilities of the U.S. military will be put on the line in the service of the Jews who would be losing against Hezbollah, Iran, and all of its proxies. There’s no way they’re going to let Israel get wrecked without Americans and Europeans doing everything in their power to stop it. The Biden Administration is warning that they’ll back Israel 100% while pleading with them not to do it.
Nothing can be explained by what’s in our interests. It’s absolutely intolerable that America is held hostage by the Jews. I’m not really much of a prepper, but it does seem like a great idea these days.

One-on-one debates like Thursday’s are exclusively about tail risk. The eight-way cage matches of the primaries can at least plausibly claim to be about “introducing your candidate” to the viewing public, with the implication that you might as well swing for the fences to be noticed. Trump did this masterfully in the 2016 primary debates, where he began by pounding his biggest would-be competitor into a pulp before dismantling the rest of the field. But once it’s mano-a-mano and you’re guaranteed roughy equal facetime, it’s mostly about risk mitigation.
Add to this that politicians are naturally risk-adverse, and not trained in the kind of instantaneous verbal sparring you need in order to push the envelope, and you have a recipe for a boring encounter. We remember “bits” from previous debates mostly because of their rarity, and often only when they are subsequently satirized.
So the only interesting question ends up being if anything interesting is going to happen – specifically, anything ruinous. Trump, being an experienced television personality with decades of extemporaneous speaking chops, was unlikely ex ante to make a fool of himself, although the risk was always that he would allow himself to be taken advantage of by the bizarre moderation setup and his ideological opponents’ control of moderation.
Biden, by contrast, was expected to be in a race between the elasticity of his battered cerebral blood vessels and the adrenochrome/vitamin cocktail flooding through his system. Until you’ve hung out with some fairly substantial people, you have no idea the sheer quality of high-end medical care available or precisely what you can deliver for a 90 minute tune-up, if you don’t have to do it night after night, and don’t mind knocking off a few months of life expectency in the worst case. Even four years of straight-up speedballs is totally tolerable if you really need to steady your nerves to do your best work – just ask Jerry Garcia. On the other hand, Jerry wasn’t 81 with multiple brain aneurysms under his belt already.
So there was a reason CNN insistend on a full two minute live delay on the proceedings, without even a single ideologically friendly White House pool reporter in the audience – how long do you need to recognize a drooped eyebrow, a lagging tongue, unusually slurred speech? Experiencing some, uh, technical difficulties. Absent that, you shoot for a draw.
But Biden could not pull it off. Slurring and stumbling over his words, rasping, repeatedly relying on canned rhetorical filler (“number one. number two.” “and by the way.” “the idea that.”) and eventually concluding with a full “and by the way… [vacant stare]”. Unforced errors where he repeatedly focused on the economy, his area of primary weakness. Blunders like stuttering into “beating Medicare”. Unprompted, bringing up American citizens being murdered by illegals, giving Trump layup after layup. A physical performance of shuffling and staring, showing off his bizarre facelift topography time after time. Short of literally shitting his pants, this was as bad as it could possibly have gone.
Trump by contrast put in an adequate performance. Refusing to scare the hoes on abortion, his primary weakness with the white female swing demographic (“follow your heart”), ignoring questions where convenient in favor of repeated attacks, and a neat maneuver where for simple answers he would wail on Biden for the first minute and allow the hosts to re-prompt him so he could say the obvious thing.
In the aftermath, “panic” was the word repeatedly used. CNN implies it’s elder abuse. They beg the DNC to swap this guy out (for Kamala? lmao). “If you genuinely believe democracy is at stake, how can you let this happen?” (spoiler: they don’t, and they will).
CNN’s moderation was, incredibly, fair enough that one suspects they might have seen this coming, and were trying to gently push Grandpa over the cliff. It remains to be seen if the party can possibly maneuver a way for this to happen, but the fact is that Biden has won all the primaries and is still at least physically alive. If his wife was unwilling to pull the plug before he embarrassed himself to this degree, it’s pretty clear she prefers the Lady MacBeth ending to a dignified elder statesman retirement, and there is really no formal mechanism to keep Biden off the ticket as long as he retains his ego – gigantic enough, by the way, that he was able to be baited into lying about his golf game. “C’mon, man” indeed.
One could get conspiratorial and speculate about extra-formal mechanisms to make sure Biden doesn’t drag the rest of the party down with him, but frankly, Trump is probably someone the rest of the uniparty can deal with, and more of a known quantity than Kamala.
At this point in time the likeliest outcome is a repeat of the first Trump term, where lack of institutional support for anything but exclusively executive prerogatives (and inadequate staffing on those) results in an administration that doesn’t threaten left structural power, and can be saddled with the fallout from decades of bad policy.
If you are looking for a point of light on the substance of a second Trump term, it’s this: the moment of the debate that rang truest to me was when Trump insisted, twice, that he would rather not be running. He does have his businesses, his large and loving family, and his apparantly vibrant golf game – and instead of focusing on those when he actuarially has about 10 years left on earth, he is forced to either win or die in prison as the country burns around him.
The hope is that this was not false modesty, and he realizes that his legacy depends on destroying the people that forced a senile figurehead like Biden to take the flak while they loot a sinking ship. They cannot be allowed to do this again.

I don’t know much about spaceships. What I’ve observed over the years however, is that when something goes wrong they tend to explode. This is obviously not a great experience for anyone involved. Also, I saw in a movie that, historically, black women are responsible for programming our spaceships even though they were secretaries and this was the official responsibility of white mathematicians with PhDs. Thus, I have no desire to be shot into space.
Two astronauts are stuck in space because Boeing's Starliner can't make the journey back to Earth

Apparently, we have a pair of astronauts stranded up there because the contraption built by Boeing to ferry them doesn’t work. I hope they can return to this shithole safely and perhaps they will by the time this gets published. It seems like they’ll just have to take their chances riding in a probable death trap since it’s the only way down.
Unfortunately, I’m going to have to classify them as “poor bastards.” These are victims whom I shrug off as the natural casualties of America just as I would expect them to do of myself under similar circumstances. You volunteer to be an astronaut and everyone knows that diversity is America’s top priority. Naturally, things will go wrong as a result.
A 737 jet nearly plunged straight into a neighborhood in California last week. The sort of carnage an impact would’ve caused is something most Americans would find rather disconcerting. In recent years, there have been two such 737 crashes, if I recall correctly. Boeing has admitted that diverse workers in South Carolina falsified 787 inspection records, and stuff has been falling off of other various models as well.

This is what I can recall, so there’s probably much more and all of it should be pertinent to someone considering getting shot into space in a boutique Boeing Starliner. I think the Russians had been taking care of this before Boeing with the Soyuz, but they got angry at an American astronaut for drilling a hole in it because she wanted to go home early. Maybe I’m remembering wrong, I just don’t care much about this stuff.
Right about this time last year, I wrote an article about my admiration for a flippant man named Stockton Rush. He told everyone that he thought he could make regular visits to the Titanic in a flimsy submersible operated with a Logitech controller. He didn’t guarantee, never said he was sure, and made his passengers sign a waiver so they were clear on this part:
“There’s a limit. At some point, safety just is pure waste. If you just want to be safe, don’t get out of bed, don’t get into your car, don’t do anything. At some point, you’re gonna take some risk and it really is a risk-reward question. … I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules.”
You’ve Always Been Here
There was an incredible amount of risk involved with letting this dude take you on a trip to the Titanic but the price was right and he told everyone up front that this was a risky proposition. In other words, he did nothing wrong in terms of his moral obligation to his passengers.
I just wish that Americans got this same deal with diversity. Boeing should warn all crew and passengers that diversity is the company’s priority, not safety. We all know that diversity is the priority no matter the consequences, so why can’t they just tell us that they think they can probably get us there safely instead of implying that we’re buying the outcome of reaching our destination alive?
We have to hear about how diversity is such an asset to Boeing instead of the jarring possibility that the passengers could be killed by it. In the very least, the airlines should play a highlight reel of these mishaps during the pre-flight video while the narrator talks about diversity and what to do in an emergency.

Metrics are important for understanding a conflict. For example, if one side is dropping over 3,000 glide bombs per month while the other side isn’t dropping bombs of any kind one can infer in whose favor the conflict is progressing.
Most of Ukraine’s air force was destroyed in the opening days of the special military operation. Soviet fighter jets intake air from the top of the plane during takeoff, enabling them to utilize roads and dirt runways. The remaining aircraft are scattered over western Ukraine where a Russian missile would have to travel for hours to strike, offering plenty of time to move them. Their impact on combat is negligible, given that all the fighting happens in the east of Ukraine under the cover of Russian AA.
Glide bombs were introduced last year and the scale of their application seems to have increased dramatically, which would comport with expanding production of glide kits and the destruction of Ukraine’s air defenses. They’re guided over long distances by GLONASS, the Russian version of GPS.
They pack punches of 250, 500, 1,500 and now 3,000 kg without requiring the jet to fly over the target so it can avoid coming in range of whatever remains of Ukraine’s AA network. While these devices don’t look fancy, they allow the Russians to mitigate the risks of dropping bombs like the JDAMs which became so familiar from the Global War on Terror.
The U.S. military developed to fight poor people ever since Vietnam, so this is the first time we’re seeing how difficult it is to take on a modern opponent in the year 2024. Somehow in the minds of my friends with silver oak leaves, we’d just be flying overhead and bombing the Russians like this is Iraq or Afghanistan. The ignorance of this notion is astounding, and it seems to me as the most significant risk to a broader war breaking out.

Donbass is where the Soviets planned to make their final stand before evacuating Moscow if a confrontation with NATO was going poorly for them. This is one of the most fortified regions on the planet, and much of it to the point of being able to survive a nuclear strike so that troops could emerge to take on a NATO invasion afterwards. NATO had 8 years to work on them after we overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014. It’s quite difficult to make a dent in many of these positions with artillery shells and large concrete apartment buildings add to the challenge.
The Russians have launched somewhere north of 7,000 cruise missiles into Ukraine. For example, some Kaliber variants can carry up to 500 kg of explosives but these things cost around 1,000,000 USD each and the scale of the fighting is vast. The Soviet bomb stockpiles for WW3 are inexhaustible for the purposes of this conflict and the kits cost a bit less that 25,000 USD to produce. This is a dramatic change, especially in the context of the sheer volume of bombs being dropped.
Some are thermobaric vacuum bombs which burst in the air to destroy the organs of everyone in the vicinity no matter where they’re sheltering. This is a very big difference from the positional artillery battles that shaped much of the early stages when the Russians had to contend with Ukrainian AA at its peak. A basement in a village might offer protection in that sort of situation, but one of these things will kill everyone in the village.
The mainstream media simply can’t stop lying and admit that the Ukrainian situation is utterly hopeless and moving towards some sort of collapse. The strategy for covering glide bombs is generally to admit that this is a problem, but avoid the inescapable implication that the Russians will continue to demolish what’s left of the Ukrainian military with these things and cite them as a reason why we need to supply Ukraine with F-16s to make their situation more tenable as if the small number would even matter and Russia doesn’t have interceptors and an AA network.
The bombs are also covered in the long-running fabricated context that the Russian military is comprised of a bunch of junk. They’ve been at this since Putin intervened to save the Syrian government from the U.S. effort to overthrow it in a civil war that we instigated just like in Ukraine. Unlike every single intervention the U.S. has done in the service of Zionism, this proved a resounding success. So, the junk works but it’s still junk somehow. I hear guys with advanced military educations tell me this idiotic nonsense.
A rational mind should be able to grasp that if one side in a war has an unlimited number of large explosive devices which can be dropped on the other with pretty much with impunity, things are going to get inexorably worse for the side on the receiving end. That’s not how things work with the U.S. military, or at least with anyone who wants to stick around for a career. This does explain quite a bit, however.
The Ukrainians are losing upwards of 2,000 men per day, many of whom are dragged off the streets and sent to the front in order to man positions, so the Russians are deterred from strolling in. Americans can’t fathom the slaughter going on over there, which only continues for the reason that their government won’t let it stop because that would be an admission everyone over here was wrong.

After a fairly lackluster June, recent news seems to indicate that things will pick up quite a lot for the month of July.
World events have been relatively quiet for a minute now. At least, “quiet” in the context of the greater overall shifting power structures around the world, which have been going haywire since 2020.
But a few key developments seem to indicate that this calm before the storm is rapidly ending.
First off, the Israel and Lebanon war that is about to begin. This conflict will certainly be used as a proxy war between the West and the rapidly developing BRICS bloc. We have deployed quite a bit of money and weapons against the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and so on, and I expect them to return the favor by supporting Hezbollah and the Syrian/Iraqi proxies. This war in particular has the risk of easily exploding into not just a larger regional war, but a world war.
Then there are the increasing terrorist attacks happening on Russian soil. The most recent one in Dagestan claiming the lives of dozens of Orthodox Christians. All of these attacks are conducted or fueled by the Islamic State (ISIS). Shocking to absolutely no one, this is the same group that is front-run by the Israelis and the United States. Haven’t you ever wondered why the supposedly Islamic-Jihadi organization has never attacked Israel, but has attacked every country that opposes Israel? Russia knows this as well as we do. These attacks, many against Christians, are deliberate attacks by the Satanic United States. Russia has even said that they understand the situation as much. The question is only how long they are going to continue to endure such fragrant assaults against their own civilians without escalation, which is clearly what the West wants.
Next up, we have some pretty unexpected developments on the Asian front. In particular, one under-reported one is that the Philippines and the Chinese are going again at it again. I’m not super surprised, but you know somehow it stems from the provocation of the West. Then there is the whole North Korea business. They’re actually sending troops over the DMZ zone to test the South, and they just signed a major defensive pact with Russia. Also, Japan is building up her armies, against their historical norm. And Taiwan just had their elections, and elected a very pro-West, United States proxy leader. Sides are being drawn through every one of these events, that much is obvious. But tensions are also heating up, far more than they have been earlier in this year.
Finally, we can’t forget the looming South American invasion by Venezuela into Guyana that is certain to come. Really, I think the Venezuelans are just waiting for more pressing wars to pop off before they decide to jump into the worldwide chaos under the radar. Probably a wise choice.
Looking back, the first half of this year was relatively dull. At least, I think we will be saying that once the second half of this year is finished, and all the above is not even considering that it’s an election year here in the States.
War and rumors of wars everywhere. I don’t know if the world has been this much on the precipice in my entire lifetime. Even the so-called War on Terror didn’t have the same feeling that this one does.
Call it intuition, or just an odd gut feeling, but I think 2024 and 2025 are going to be the years of substantial change across this world. The kind of change that we haven’t previously seen in any of our lifetimes.

It has been brought to my attention that our beloved Disney princesses are no longer being considered the role models they once were, as modern feminists have once again dug their claws into condemning traditional femininity.
Snow White is by far one of the most heavily criticized princesses, especially by the woman who is supposed to be playing her in a live action adaptation, Rachel Zegler. Despite her role as the title character, it is clear that Rachel Zegler has no respect for the original film. She claims it is “outdated” due to Snow White’s wish for love and her soft personality. But, may I ask why it is so terrible for someone to dream about love and
being saved by a prince? I know I speak for many women when I say that being taken care of is something rather appealing. Love is the backbone of humanity; should we not all strive to love and be loved?
Additionally, Snow White’s soft personality is the epitome of strength. Keep in mind that Snow White is a victim of abuse; she has every reason to be bitter and closed-off, but she isn’t. Instead, she shows her strength by showing kindness to the people around her and keeping her cheerful demeanor. I mean, her first instinct when entering the dwarves’ cottage is to cook and clean for them out of the goodness of her heart. She is a beautiful example of true femininity. Why is Snow White being criticized for weakness
when she is stronger than the women who hate her?
It seems not even the women of the Disney renaissance are safe, as Keira Knightley once stated in an interview that she would not let her daughter watch The Little Mermaid. “Why is that?” you ask? Well, because apparently Ariel “sold her voice for a man.” Such a comment makes me wonder if Keira Knightley has ever even watched the film herself. If she had, she would know that Ariel’s goal, before she ever laid eyes on Prince Eric, was to explore the human world. In her song, “Part of Your World,” she sings “I want to be where the people are,” not “I want to be where this hot guy is.” I find it odd that a character like Ariel would be criticized by a modern feminist, considering her personality could be viewed as rather progressive: rebellious, stubborn, curious, and independent. But, of course, nothing is good enough for these so called “feminists.”
People like Rachel Zegler and Keira Knightly will never fail to misinterpret the beauty of these stories for shallow activism. However, in reality, these classic princesses are some of the strongest role models for little girls. These tales have stood the test of time for a reason. And while I personally do not support the current state of the Disney company, I will not stand for slander of the creative storytelling that shaped mine and so many others’ childhoods.

A friend of mine remarked to me on the absurdity of the homosexual colored man in a dress on the White House lawn. She had just scrolled across the story on her phone. I shrugged and replied that this was our country. We already had a topless tranny on the same patch of grass. He’s what you realize that something is amiss around this national nightmare? But hey, at least she noticed.

At this point, I’m far less triggered by the things I notice than the fact that other people don’t seem to be noticing. The inescapable implication, that most of us will perish horrifically in the final collapse of America, I’ve basically made my peace with as well. It’s everybody else’s blindness that I find disconcerting.
Documentaries now made for Americans utilize footage shown for no more than a minute at a time interspliced with footage of someone being interviewed about the topic. Many different people are interviewed about whatever topic who don’t need to be interviewed at all.
The documentary could simply feature one contiguous piece of footage with a a single narrator who is never shown on camera. If you’re not retarded and possess an attention span long enough to learn anything of value, this is a superior format. Moreover, it’s really annoying to constantly have the screen switched.
I find this infuriating to the point of making outbursts at the TV set like my grandfather used to do quite often in his later years. I’ve had people remark that they didn’t even notice how this format is how all the shows are done nowadays. When I comment on the dystopian qualities of various commercials, I receive similar responses.
Thus, it’s not a surprise that the average American doesn’t fathom just how badly things are going. This would include most of my friends and family. They don’t seem to be on the same planet and yet here they are, I’m not sure about this physics of this phenomenon.
I take it for granted that everything will fall apart, but if you’d told me that a decade ago I’d have thought the notion to be rather fanciful. Still, back then they were saying that most of us would perish due to the melting of the polar ice caps. Some would presumably survive like the characters from Water World. I enjoyed that movie but have never worried about living out this scenario.
So, that was one thing but I didn’t realize that as the ice caps failed to melt and we all continued to prolong our existences on dry land that lunatics would start gluing themselves to busy roads and attacking priceless works of art to alert everyone of impending doom. Now they’re attacking sporting events.

These lunatics are just as convinced as myself that most of us are going to perish, but the difference is that they’re trying to save the world by trying to get everyone’s attention. I merely write articles on the internet to vent.
On the one hand, I think to myself that this was inevitable and is probably preferrable to them conducting actual terrorist attacks like Al Qaeda. On the other, they want everyone to be forced to stop using oil, gas, and coal by the government. This would lead to the collapse of society overnight. So, everyone would perish either way. There’s really no point to their campaign of soft terrorism. But where’s the fun in that?
I’ve realized the grim reality is that we all have to find our fun where we can, because hope ain’t to be had anymore. They’re not wrong about this part. What wacky stunt are they going to pull next?

I’m not in the restaurant business. Although, I take a practical approach to what I order based upon where I order it. For example, I wouldn’t go to a diner off the side of a highway far from any salt water and order the surf and turf. Get the pancakes with the eggs and bacon. Rarely will any such establishment screw this up.
What the hell is wrong with you? You think the guy in the back went to a dock at 5:30 AM this morning to pick the best of the day’s catch? No, there’s a bag of frozen shrimp he opens to grab out a handful every few weeks. Disgusting.
I know people who constantly make these sorts of blunders, and the results serve them right. A grim sense of practicality will never disappoint you, while the notion you can just order whatever you want will let you down nearly every time. I’ve never once considered eating at a Red Lobster.

I saw that McDonald’s is bringing back its 5-dollar meal. I get that everyone is barely surviving, but why do you think you can buy a meal of food from McDonald’s for 5 dollars? Whatever they’re serving is probably outright poisonous. For less than 5 dollars you could eat 6 hard boiled eggs and whatever fruit is cheapest at that time of the year. At this price, you can still eat food, you’ll just have to bring it to work and you’re probably not going to look forward to eating it.
Sure, a burger and fries are way better, but don’t think that’s what you can have for 5 dollars. McDonald’s isn’t running a charity, it’s there to stuff you with the cheapest slop that fools you into thinking it’s food until you keel over and die. Get real, lower your expectations. Do you think the sailors who made it to America reveled in eating hard tack?

Soylent green could win back desperate street dwellers, authorities say. As Americans, we’ve been used to a good standard of living in which anything we want is available to anyone at any time of the year. That’s not the case anymore, but Americans have still been spending this way, probably because credit cards have made up the difference. The average debt per credit card (not consumer) is around twice what the average consumer is taking home every month. Once those minimum payments get too high, a crisis ensues, which probably explains what’s happening to restaurants like Red Lobster.
Eating out is one of the easiest things to economize on. When you’re home, you can eat food that you cooked there for a much lower price and if you’re at work you can always bring a sandwich. It’s not so easy on the road, but it’s the best we can expect.

Serving as emperor of Rome from 161AD to 189AD, Marcus Aurelius was considered the last of the five ‘good emperors’, and oversaw a time of relative peace and prosperity at home while stabilizing the empire’s frontiers abroad. Noted for his modesty and dedication to stoic philosophy, Aurelius’ writings serve as a guidepost for many seeking wisdom on life, rule, and what we leave behind. Tonight we are joined by Zach from Logos Revealed to examine Aurelius’ most famous work, ‘Meditations’, and to explore its lessons for leadership in a corrupt modern world.

In the quiet corners of our Southern heritage, where the land speaks of centuries past and tradition holds sway, the story of Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley deserves a mention. Her life, marked by resilience, intelligence, and an indomitable spirit, stands as a testament to the rich and complex history of the South. Yet, modern narratives, influenced by Reconstructionist ideologies, often overlook her remarkable legacy.
Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley, born around 1793 in West Africa, was thrust into a world of turmoil when she was captured by fellow black Africans and sold into slavery. She arrived in Cuba, where fate brought her into the life of Zephaniah Kingsley, a wealthy planter known for his unconventional views and complex character. Purchased at the tender age of 13, she became Zephaniah’s wife and, in 1811, a free woman.
Zephaniah Kingsley was an eccentric figure, to say the least, often speaking out about the practicalities of slavery while simultaneously benefiting from the institution. His interviews and writings reveal a man who believed in the rights of free blacks and the necessity of a multi-racial society, views that were certainly controversial for his time and remain so with those of us concerned with preserving our genetic legacy. His relationship with Anna was likely a blend of personal affection and strategic alliance, ensuring her freedom and positioning her as a significant figure in their community. Kingsley thought of himself as a pragmatist above all else. He would subsequently marry additional former slaves, forming something of a harem.
Anna’s freedom was not merely a legal status but a gateway to extraordinary achievements. She managed the Kingsley plantation on Fort George Island in Florida with remarkable acumen. Upon Zephaniah’s death in 1843, Anna inherited his estate which she maintained, slaves and all, through the War of Northern Aggression. She owned extensive lands and held slaves, navigating the social and legal intricacies of her time. Her story is not one of passive existence but of active agency and success within the societal framework of her era.
Modern historical narratives often fail to accommodate such complexity. These narratives seek to cast history in stark terms of oppressors and oppressed, a framework into which Anna Kingsley’s life does not neatly fit. As a former slave who became a slave owner, her story challenges the simplistic binaries that dominate contemporary discourse. This ideological lens tends to simplify and sanitize the past to fit modern leftist’ sensibilities. It overlooks the rich tapestry of individual experiences in favor of a monolithic view that erases the nuanced realities of our history. By sidelining figures like Anna Kingsley, this approach deprives us of a fuller understanding of the South.
The omission of Kingsley’s legacy from mainstream narratives is not just an oversight but a deliberate act of historical revisionism. It reflects a tendency to prioritize ideological conformity over historical accuracy, erasing the stories that do not fit a predetermined mold. By neglecting the achievements of individuals like Anna Kingsley, we impoverish our understanding of the past and diminish the rich history of Dixie. Her story encourages us to look beyond simplistic narratives and appreciate the full spectrum of our heritage. It reminds us that the past is not a canvas to be painted over with modern ideologies, but a tapestry of human experiences that demands our respect and recognition.

The post Anna Kingsley and the Victims of Reconstructionist Revisionism appeared first on Identity Dixie.
The so-called “Reconstruction” period in the South, after the shooting phase of the War of Northern Aggression ceased, set in motion an insidious trend that has yet to be reversed in this country. That avoidable war brought monstrous federal intrusion into the private lives of individuals on a heretofore undreamed-of level. “Reconstruction” in the South set up virtual military dictatorships in all the former Confederate states. The banner of what today is referred to as reverse racism was raised atop the federal flagpole and flown on high. It has yet to be taken down. In fact, with the Biden/Obama regime now in power, they are busy building a higher flagpole for it.
This trend toward centralized federal pre-eminence has never been reversed, nor will it be until this country wakes up or folds up. And if it folds up as the Biden/Obama regime plans for it to, it won’t make any difference.
Several years ago, my family and I took a trip (one of many over the years). On the way home, we stopped at the National Historical Park at Harpers Ferry, (West) Virginia. At that site the town has been in the process of being reconstructed that that it will eventually appear just as it did when abolitionist/terrorist John Brown conducted his raid there in 1859. Maybe by now they’ve finished with the reconstruction, I don’t know. They filmed part of the movie Gods and Generals there. If you all have not seen that movie you should. Many have claimed that Harpers Ferry has been turned into a secular shrine to glorify John Brown. It would seem that those who have labored hard to do that must approve of Brown’s violent terrorist tactics.
Anyway, while on our visit there, we chanced to visit the building that had housed the Provost Marshall’s office. A lady there, dressed in period attire, explained to the tourists that during the War of Northern Aggression (she didn’t call it that), Harpers Ferry was under federal jurisdiction, and was therefore, under the control of the Provost Marshall. When the lady explained what powers this man had, I could not help thinking that the Provost Marshall was, for all intents and purposes, a federal dictator. As I pondered how that war had paved for future federal dictatorships, a picture of the Supreme Court suddenly flashed through my mind.
Court watchers have noted, with appropriate apprehension over the years, some of the “interesting” decisions of the court. The decisions that Comrade Obama’s forcing everyone to buy his “health” insurance or be fined was little more than judicial quackery. But the court seemed to have no problem with it. There was a decision back in 2005, I think it was, in the state of Connecticut that allowed a city to use eminent domain, (something I’ve always hated) to attempt to seize the property of several homeowners. Apparently, some cities in Connecticut felt they could make better use of some people’s property than the property owners could and so property was taken under the eminent domain clause. This is something I have never agreed with. It’s one of those weak spots the Constitution is famous for.
George Will was never one of my favorite columnists, but on occasion he came up with an article that showed some insight. Several years ago now, he did a column dealing with a decision of the Supreme Court. He noted, “The Court bestowed, prospectively, its constitutional imprimatur on virtually any racial spoils system Congress enacts. The Court selectively overturned a series of precedents that had at least limited the proliferation of what are euphemistically called ‘race-conscious policies’.”
In this particular instance Will observed that the Court, by a 5-4 majority ruled that Congress may assign special benefits to particular government-preferred minorities (to the detriment of all who do not make the preferred list) and Congress may do so without regard to any injury resulting from discrimination. Reverse discrimination is now cut loose from the pretense that it is merely a remedial measure.” Take a good look at Will’s comment and let it sink in. Doesn’t it make you feel good if you happen to belong to some group that hasn’t made the government’s “preferred” list—like white Christian Southerners for example?
Some have taken exception to court rulings of this nature, claiming they violate the constitutional guarantee of equal protection under the law. Sorry folks, but that one was thrown under the bus a long time ago according to Will. “Equal protection is not violated if the injury done by reverse discrimination serves an important government objective.” Did you all get that. Equal protection is not violated by unequal treatment as long as “important government objectives” are being served. Question—where is this situation any different than what occurred during the first phase of “Reconstruction” after the Marxist/Lincolnist Revolution of 1861 aka as the Civil War?
Theologian C. Gregg Singer aptly pointed out in his book A Theological Interpretation of American History that the real aim of Thaddeus Stevens and his fellow Northern revolutionaries was a program of “reconstruction” that would start in the South and would be handled in such a way as to eventually include the entire country. The entire fabric of American life, North and South, was to be “reconstructed” according to their revolutionary aims. And guess what, folks, due to the advent of the public school system, first in the North, then in the “reconstructed” South, it has mostly worked!
So, let’s summarize. The “reconstruction” (Marx’s term) in the South set forth a policy of reverse discrimination where there was no protection under the law for Southern whites because it had been determined that reverse discrimination in regard to freed slaves served “an important government objective” of working to “ensure the perpetual ascendancy of the party of the Union” (the Republican Party).
Both North and South lived through the first phase of “reconstruction” until both became “reconstructed” enough so that most memories of a truly Christian America were obliterated.
That having been accomplished, it is now time for us to begin to realize that we are, at present, and for the discernable future, in the midst of the second phase of “reconstruction”. The perpetually ascending federal government, (the secular deity) via its court system, is busily enacting quotas and racial preference agendas and telling local school districts they have the power to raise taxes on their own, even if voters have voted down the proposed tax increase. When President Trump was in office he tried to give us a more conservative Supreme Court. But he was only one man and he got precious little support or good advice from the Deep State moles in his own administration.
It would seem that the chickens of American apostasy, turned loose in the 1820s, have now come home to roost. Many years ago, Rev R. L. Dabney in his book Defense of Virginia and the South wrote: “A righteous God, for our sins toward Him, has permitted us to be overthrown by our enemies and His.” Although he was speaking at that time to Southerners, his commentary is now appropriate for the entire country. One of the main fruits of apostasy is more and ever repressive government. Until apostasy is repudiated and a Christian culture is sought after and worked for, things will only get worse and we will continue to have rulers like Barack Obama and China Joe Biden, who are truly the fruit of and result of apostasy.

Editor’s Note: The following is a book promotion for Red Pandemic: The Global Marxist Cult by Emmet Connor, an Irish author, podcaster and X-spaces host, and online content creator. His work focuses on many issues that align with Identity Dixie’s content, such as dismantling progressivism, liberalism, and globalism.
In Red Pandemic, Mr. Connor exposes the source of all the crazy revolutionary activism and chaos in the world today – the ideology of Marxism – highlighting its unrivalled toxic impact on world affairs and humanity in general.
You can purchase Red Pandemic directly from the publisher’s website Omnia Veritas, and from several online vendors including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, AbeBooks, Books A Million, Powell’s Books, Alibris, Bookshop.org, and Indiebound. At present there is no audiobook or kindle version.
For more information regarding Mr. Connor’s work and content activism, please visit his website, Resolving Reality. Or, you can follow him on X.
Below are general themes found in the book for our interested readers:
Marxism is the most destructive ideology the world has ever seen, yet it’s not widely understood. It’s good at repackaging itself, using different labels, like a snake shedding its skin.
All the major destabilizing, civilization-destroying issues in the world today – the various Marxist “sub-agendas” – are all driven by the same revolutionary ideology. They include mass immigration, the climate change movement, radical sex education, feminism, abortion, BLM and anti-racism, LGBTQ + non-binary, veganism, anti-Christianity, etc.
Crucially, the ideology’s presence in any given country also leads to the absence of national sovereignty, the breakdown of law and order, racial tensions, economic collapse, etc. (Note: the main agenda of Marxism is to create a Marxist world. It’s in the nature of the ideology to spread and dominate; to create a world federation via the United Nations, European Union, World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, etc. Concepts such as “New World Order” and “Globalism” are essentially Marxist in nature).
Marxism, Socialism, and Communism – What’s the difference? (these labels confuse people and are a major problem).
Simplest definition – Marxism is essentially crazy revolutionary activism in all its forms.
Marxism is a cult, and not merely just a political/geo-political movement or “philosophical” school of thought. It is also the worst mental health crisis the world has ever seen. It literally brainwashes people into being anti-humanity, anti-civilization, etc.

The situation with the Houthis in Yemen encapsulates the insanity of America’s foreign policy. Their operation against shipping by countries which support Israel is a direct response declared against the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
They’ve offered to stop immediately if the genocide stops. That’s all it would take, just desisting from this genocide which goes against all the values America claims and our self-declared moral leadership of the planet. Instead, we launched Operation Prosperity Guardian which has been a predictable failure. Even the name is a joke.

For all of the firepower the United States can deliver from above, the devastation inflicted on the Houthis isn’t what the public was led to believe. Why anyone would’ve been expecting success in the context of what happened in Vietnam and Afghanistan is a fair question. The recent Saudi war on the Houthis failed despite a much more ruthless approach. There’s a definitive pattern to these ill-fated endeavors.
The Gaza Strip has had more bombs dropped on it than both Dresden and Hamburg, while the Jews are still taking casualties without an end in sight. What’s more, Western drones which used to surveille and strike with impunity are being shot down. This isn’t the Global War on Terror anymore.
The U.S. military has never before had to fight an adversary with all the insurgent advantages of the Taliban, but capable of striking international shipping with ballistic missiles, while shooting down American drones. This pretty much sums up the Houthis.
The American Empire was never able to subdue the Taliban, but it wasn’t in such a vulnerable position in terms of the Taliban’s firepower. For instance, if the Houthis can take out MQ9 drones, helicopters would be at significant risk if the failure of airstrikes leads to a ground incursion in Yemen.
The small, cheap drones, available to everyone, have also revolutionized warfare in ways which the United States will struggle to overcome if a wider conflict breaks out. The Russians have acquired far more experience in countering drones, but they still have big problems with these things despite the adaptations.
They’ve also used them to take out American tanks and armored vehicles operated by the Ukrainians. There’s been plenty of sport made out of the losses the Russians have suffered from drone strikes, but the United States hasn’t yet had to contend with anything on the scale of what they’ve been trying to mitigate.

An important reason for why the firepower of Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis has become a salient question is that Netanyahu’s faction of Jews seems to be trying to provoke a broader conflict in the Middle East that will drag the U.S. military in directly on their behalf with the goal being to collapse Iran and put an end to Hezbollah.
Getting rid of Hezbollah’s opposition is an absolute necessity for Zionist expansion, which these Jews must’ve calculated will be an easier task once its Iranian base of support has been eliminated. They can’t eliminate either Iran or Hezbollah on their own or even subdue the Gaza Strip. Hezbollah already defeated them back in 2006.
Sure, these are deranged, evil Jews but the logic of why they need their Golem to enter the fray is obvious and it would explain why they started a conflict which they have zero chance of winning on their own.

It’s quite possible they wanted Hamas to retaliate last October and allowed it to happen without preemption as a pretext for a definitive victory against the militant enemies of Zionism. After the Hamas raid, the IDF promptly attacked Lebanon and demanded that Hezbollah cede strategic territory along the Litani River so the notion that this conflict is about addressing the threat from Hamas is ridiculous.
We’re 76 years into the nightmare entity known as Israel, with the historical expiration date in the minds of the aforementioned Jews for Jewish kingdoms being 80 years. They’re already in a crisis they can’t extricate themselves from and, if they lose political power, Netanyahu is going to prison for corruption.
A confluence of factors is pushing them towards an escalation. The direction seems inexorable if the Biden Jews can’t rein them in somehow. It must be frustrating for them that Netanyahu is focused only on his own ambitions regardless of the war they started with Russia, which is going very badly for NATO. He doesn’t even seem capable of taking the implications of this ongoing failure into account.
The Commanding Officer of the Northern Command, MG Ori Gordin, and the Head of the Operations Directorate, MG Oded Basiuk, approved operational plans and held a joint situational assessment in the Northern Command earlier today.

The Jews in the Biden Administration clearly don’t want a showdown right now and have been pleading with Netanyahu to back off. Finding some way to deescalate the situation is the only rational course of action given the current realities of military power.
These efforts don’t seem to be of much avail and the split between these factions of Jews has grown quite public. It’s somewhat hilarious that the Western media can cover this disagreement without acknowledging it’s between different factions of Jews, one of which is in control of the U.S. government and the other whose distinction is a higher degree of blind psychopathy.

Wariness of the Biden Administration Jews towards getting dragged into another major conflict at the moment is probably irrelevant since they wouldn’t be able to let Israel get itself wiped out. The Netanyahu Jews are in the driver’s seat on this one. They’re basically retarded and don’t seem to grasp what limited utility the U.S. military proffers towards their ultimate objectives.
Whatever happens next, it won’t be good for Israel. It’s not like we get a say in anything that happens, so all we can do is wait and watch. The Madness of the Jew is the stage America has reached.

The post Saving our Greatest Ally appeared first on Identity Dixie.
In the book American Nations by Colin Woodard, he argues that “North America” has 11 distinct cultural nations. I would generally agree with this assertion. Unfortunately, Woodard is a Yankee, and his bias shows throughout the book. I’ve come to the conclusion that the book is a solid read for those opposed to the “one American nation” theory. As a Southern Nationalist, I can see American Nations providing Southerners with a solid blueprint on how to view the rest of the country. In this article, I’ll be addressing and adding to the argument regarding the existence of the “Midlander” nation.
The Midlands, argued by Collins, is a nation founded by the Pennsylvania “Dutch” (Germans) and Quakers in the 1600s. The region is to the south of Yankeedom and New Netherlands, but north of Appalachia and Tidewater. In many ways, the Midlands is one that is often in conflict with the others but also the adjudicator in many of the political contests between the main nations on the East Coast. The Midlands also sprouted from Pennsylvania; the state renowned for being a swing state. It should be remembered that the United States’ capital once sat in Philadelphia, largely as a compromise between the Northern and Southern colonies. While today the city’s nickname is an ironic joke, it once was the motto for the Midlander nation, “brotherly love.” Nonetheless, the capital’s presence there was an early foreshadowing of its position as a swing state.
In the early decades of the Union, the Midlanders and the South had a relatively strong relationship. Regional divides, while present, had not grown as challenging as they would later. In this time, Midlanders were largely just a strong section across Pennsylvania, northern Delaware and southern New Jersey. During these early days, they would quickly rally behind the Democratic-Republicans under the leadership of Virginia Tidewater statesmen. Pennsylvania voted for the winner of the majority of presidential races with the exceptions of 1804 and 1824. Thus, early in this era, the South had a solid relationship with the region which helped cement the rule of Jeffersonianism and then Jacksonianism in the Union.
Dixie’s troublesome history with this region began in the 1840s, when the Midlands became the first of the American nations to fully reject slavery. In turn, the Midlands started becoming politically and culturally averse towards the South and, eventually, the Southern people. The Quakers, especially, were given to abolitionist sentiments, which put them at odds with Dixie. However, for the most part, the Midlands were nowhere as vindictive and antagonistic as the New England Yankees. This would change with the 1860 election, when the Midlanders sided with the Republicans (a purely regional party). Lincoln would carry Pennsylvania with 56% of the vote. While not as hardline Republican as the New England Yankees, Midlanders came to detest secession, considering it treason, and thus transformed into enemies of the Southern people during our war for independence.
Nonetheless, a sizable number of the Midlander people would come to reconsider the actual cost “of saving the Union” with the massive amount of bloodshed by the Lincoln regime. Due to this, a strong peace movement developed in the North, particularly when Southern armies scored victories during 1861 and 1862. Eventually, this would cause New Netherlands, the Midlands and Northern Appalachia to re-evaluate their war on Dixie. By 1864, these nations would unite under a Philadelphian, General George B. McClellan. In many ways, Lee’s invasion into Pennsylvania in 1863 was an effort not just to win international support but also bring the impact of the war directly to the uncertain Pennsylvanian Midlanders. The offensive, of course, sadly failed, but nonetheless caused a momentary hesitation. In 1863, bodies lining the roads of Gettysburg would bring the horror of war directly to the Keystone State.
By early 1864, the war to “save the Union” had caused the deaths of thousands of young men from the North and the war itself seemed to be in a brutal stalemate. War morale in the Union seemed to drop, causing even the tyrant Lincoln to believe he would lose re-election. With this, Northern Democrats, many noted as “Copperheads,” would nominate General McClellan for president, as well as anti-war Borderlander George H. Pendleton of southern Ohio for vice president. They campaigned for peace and advocated for negotiations with the Confederacy. In many ways, the 1864 election was the truly most decisive one in American history – had McClellan won, it’s likely that the Confederacy would have negotiated a peaceful settlement. However, as everyone knows, events did not unfortunately unfold that way.
With the fall of Atlanta, Sherman was able to save Lincoln’s re-election. It also helped that Lincoln had created several new states by this point, like Nevada and “West Virginia.” On top of this, Union soldiers in Missouri, Maryland, Tennessee, and Louisiana were all able to vote and keep potential Southern Democrats away from the polls. By November, a majority of Midlanders flipped back to their former war mongering ways to finish off the South; ironically, only New Netherland (greater New York City and northern New Jersey) stood by McClellan’s peace hopes. The only states McClellan carried would be his then-home state of New Jersey, Delaware and Kentucky (a Southern borderland state). He also came relatively close (1% margin) in winning New York thanks to Democrat New Netherlands. With McClellan’s defeat, the tyrant’s boot finally crushed the outmanned and outgunned Confederacy in 1865.
In the decades after the defeat of the South, the Midlanders would largely find themselves in unison with Yankeedom on how to govern the “redeemed” Union. The (forced) United States truly grew corrupt during these decades, morphing into the Yankee Empire with massive corporate overlords. In the first election post-Reconstruction, Pennsylvanian Midlander Winfield Scott Hancock represented a weakened Democratic Party against the Republicans. General Hancock had famously sided with President Johnson for a more lenient version of Reconstruction, which caused Hancock to lose his command of the 5th Military District (Texas and Louisiana). In many ways, he was a solid picture of the Midlander in their more “moderate” ways, which often found them in opposition to the tyrannical measures of the fanatical Yankee Republicans during Reconstruction. From Reconstruction until 1916 (Woodrow Wilson being the interesting exception) not a single Democratic Party nominee for president was from the South, despite the South being a major faction in the party. However, Midlanders would continue to hold national power, and this was particularly true in the 1950s.
Following the collapse of the New Deal coalition in the late 1940s, the Republican Party would finally take back power with the 1952 election. In this, a supposed “Southerner,” who was born in Texas, which helped him win the state that year, and in 1956, wasn’t actually a Southerner. In truth, by blood, mindset, and raising, Dwight D. Eisenhower was a Midlander. To begin, Eisenhower’s family was from central Kansas, with their ancestry traced back to the Pennsylvania colony and then to Germany. He was raised and considered his hometown to be Abilene, Kansas. Eisenhower was known for being politically non-involved for most of his life as an army officer. Despite being friends, he would actively clash professionally with Patton, especially near the end of the fiery Southerner’s career. When he finally became president, he would have a warm relationship with the South due to the recent betrayal by President Truman and the false belief in his Dixian identity. Indeed, many Southerners viewed Eisenhower as a likely ally due to his more conservative nature, military experience, and background. At first, Eisenhower was and would do very little to aid Yankee politicians in ending segregation and home rule in Dixie. When Brown v. Board came in 1954, Ike only timidly embraced it, it seemed to many that he was a solid ally of the South. A prime example of Ike being seen as a moderate is when Texas Governor Allan Shivers blocked integration in 1956 with the Texas Rangers. Ike refused to step in, and was often attacked by Yankee leftist at the time. This seeming indifference and personal assistance played a part in Ike once again winning Texas that year, along with breaking Louisiana off from the Solid South.
However, in 1957, this cozy relationship would end and become clear during the standoff in Little Rock, Arkansas. After seeing the actions of Shivers the year prior, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus was inspired and pushed by Southern voters to stop integration in their beautiful capital city. Faubus decided to send in the Arkansas National Guard to block integration and keep the peace. Ike, at first, was hesitant to step in until the media began sending television recordings of (rightfully) angry Arkansans opposing black students from breaking into their schools. Ike and many “moderates” in the Midlands fell over themselves and felt “opposition had gone too far.” They ignored the fact that the Supreme Court had violated its role in Brown v. Board. Despite being a supposed conservative, Ike in a move all too familiar to modern Southern voters condemned and betrayed the South.
Eisenhower was moved by his wishy-washy emotions and blind obedience in “law and order” much in the same way modern Republicans fell over themselves in the aftermath of Jan 6th to condemn their own voters for rejecting a stolen election. Ike sent in federal boots with the 101st Airborne Division to occupy Little Rock. He would air a speech demanding Southerners fall in line with “law and judges.” During the occupation of Little Rock, the federal troopers would beat and roughhouse local Southerners opposing the hostile takeover of their education system. Southerners, at the time, would cover photos of conflict, which were often hidden by the national press at time, and would lose trust in the Republican Party, as well as Eisenhower.
In the aftermath of this, Dixie would split in the 1960 election, with Louisiana and Texas flipping away from the Republican Party by voting for Nixon. The states of Alabama and Mississippi would vote for Virginia Senator Harry F. Byrd, rejecting the two-party option.
To get back to the point, it should be clear to any Southern Nationalist that Midlanders are incompatible with the South. Their track record shows them to be fair weather friends at best, and enemies at worst. Our modern times reflect this, with Pennsylvanians bolting to vote for Biden in 2020, thus bringing in the immigration crisis, inflation, and the theft of millions of dollars to Ukraine. Dixie united with them in 2016 to stop Hillary, only to have them flip flop to Joe Biden. To make matters worse, these people (Midlanders in Pennsylvania) elected a Democratic governor and senator (the one who wears a hoodie to Congress) in 2022. While many will claim these elections were stolen, as someone who has studied this state and its people, it seems clear to me that the Midlanders of Pennsylvania view Republicans as too “extreme.”
All polls at the moment have Pennsylvania as the closest swing state, with some occasionally having Biden still barely winning. I, for one, would no longer like to see my national elections decided by this nation of undecided “moderates.” Southern Nationalists: be ready for Pennsylvania, the main state of the Midlanders, to disappoint the MAGA movement in November when they decide Trump is “too radical and dangerous.” It is my hope that, after that, the Southern people will see that we need to cut all political ties with such milquetoast folks.
Dixie is better off without having the Midlands decide our fate.

There are ways to solve a nation’s problem with drugs. As Saddam Hussein once remarked, wherever there’s a problem, there’s a person. Thus, every leader who has solved these problems goes after the people behind them. Chairman Mao solved China’s opium crisis overnight by rounding up all the dealers for execution and the addicts for political reeducation, for example.
Indeed, there are a set of precedents which demonstrate that people must be dealt with harshly if a problem with drugs is to be solved. That’s why it’s so exasperating to hear the claim that we’ll never keep people from doing drugs. Actually, we can do precisely that if the drug dealers are dead and the addicts are forced to labor in concentration camps.
This is why it’s terrific to see that America is producing serious thinkers capable of grasping practical solutions to our national drug crisis like giving the addicts free kits for sticking the drugs up their asses once injecting their arms gets to be too troublesome.

It makes sense from the perspective that we live a dying country which has made sodomy its primary value. So, sticking things up one’s ass is the first idea that probably pops from the heads of many Americans:
The boofing kit contained two anal injectors, six packets of lubricant, some sterilizing wipes, and two tins for mixing a rectal cocktail.
The Bangor-based MAP has even more detailed tips for the would-be boofer, including to use a smaller syringe if you can so as not to overtax your sphincter.
It’s really important not to overtax your sphincter, that’s why tax dollars are spent on these anal injectors. Let’s read on:
Although they acknowledge that it’s better to not have blood come out of your butt after you’ve squirted narcotics into your anus, they urge boof-curious viewers not to “freak out” if there’s only a small amount of post-boofing anal bleeding.
There’s probably not much that’s going to freak out someone with a fentanyl habit which has gotten so bad they’re injecting it into their anus, but I suppose it’s a kind concern on the part of Maine Access Points. When addicts start dying on sidewalks with their pants down, nobody will try to hold this organization accountable. Of that much we can be certain.

Has it ever once occurred to you that if someone has an intravenous drug habit, this person should stick the drugs up his ass instead? Probably not, which is why you’re considered an extremist threat to our national security.
It seems quintessentially American to assume that we can’t fix our dug epidemic and then conclude that the addicts should be sticking these drugs up their asses as a way to mitigate this problem. I can’t say I’m surprised to come across this news.

After various iterations of what y’all know as Identity Dixie, WE ARE STILL HERE! Unlike our enemies, there have been no layoffs; we have expanded like a raging fire through a dried pine forest! We are in it, to win it! And even our critics know the wind is in our favor.
For nine years, this insignificant little blog has influenced hundreds of thousands of people around the globe. I’m constantly amazed when I hear a phrase, see a meme, hear a song, or read a post by another influencer in the mainstream political zeitgeist that mimics ID content from years ago. We are small, but we know how to use force multipliers like no other.
Just as I have predicted over the years, we would grow, our writers would get younger, and our older writers would gladly pass the torch to the next generation when the time was right. Although that time is not now, our writers are reflecting the generation that will be instrumental in maintaining order in our communities when the American empire fades into history. Our ancestors bred us, trained us, and left us the tools to carry on their valiant fight against a Christ-less tyranny.
Christian Nationalism is on the rise, and nothing will stop it. The greatest missionary field in the United States is disaffected, young, White men, many with military experience, and especially those with young families. They long for real culture, something tangible they can pass down to their children… and they are coming our way. Not only are they embracing what has always been the culture of the Southern people, but they are flocking to our lands in great numbers. Their arrival presents us with a necessary opportunity. They must embrace our history, totally rejecting any thought of restoring an America that never existed. I’m positive the coming election will present a crucial moment with these men, and we must seize upon it.
I had a brief conversation last Lord’s Day with a very connected official in my state. The conversation went as usual with true Southern cordial greetings, followed by “Where are you from and who are your people?” This brother is a native, with a long history in our state; he knows people, and he knows what is coming. We debated the pragmatism of our politicians, and we agreed that this strategy must come to an end. My exhortation was that we must encourage our leaders to be bolder, for we live not in a time for the timid, but in a time for warriors and prophets.
Over the years, this blog has expounded many different strategies with the same goal: an Independent Dixie. Brothers and sisters, there is no one way, no one path to victory. As in all warfare, ID is dynamic, and the content you receive, and hopefully spread among our people, is multifaceted. Let’s continue to engage, bringing the fire to those who would destroy our people.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!
The post Nine Years! No Layoffs! appeared first on Identity Dixie.
On August 5, 1914, one of the most significant events of the Great War occurred. It was not a major battle, but rather the cutting of undersea cables at the German port of Emden by the British ship Alert. From that point on, Germany lost its most important avenue to securely communicate outside of Europe, especially with the United States. This is important because very quickly the Allies launched a libelous campaign against Germany, one that accused her of violating the very basic assumptions of Christian morality and conduct during a war. Wild stories, such as allegations that German soldiers were playing a game of throwing Belgian infants into the air and attempting to catch them with their bayonets, or that Germans were crucifying kittens on church doors, or that Germans were intentionally using poison gas on civilians soon flooded the United States. Long before Germany lost the Great War, she lost the public relations war. It was only after the war’s end and more critical eyes were able to examine the actual evidence did these stories fall apart.
To be sure, there were some atrocities committed by the German military. It’s war – horrible things are bound to happen, hence why the teaching by the Christian Church that war should be used only as a last resort. It is also true that the American elites were predisposed to support the Triple Entente. The elites of the United States have traditionally been divided between Anglophiles and Francophiles – see the rivalry between the Anglophile John Adams and the Francophile Thomas Jefferson. It was a divide so deep it even split the individual nations that make up the United States. The Great War saw the unification of these two factions, with the American elites consolidating behind the Entente. At the time of the Great War, those that supported the Central Powers, like the Germans who wanted to see their Fatherland triumphant and the Irish who wished for their ancient enemy to be humiliated, were not powerful enough to push the United States into the direction of the Central Powers. But it remains true that the all-out character assassination of Germany played a major part in pushing the United States into the war.
Today, we very much live in a similar world as it was during the Great War – the flow of information has been greatly restricted and the elites are able to bend public will to suit their own needs. Those who they support are brave freedom fighters, while those who oppose them are evil. One of the primary areas this can be observed, and certainly one of the most relevant in light of current events, is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For years, we have received stories of nonviolent Jews trying to make peace with their evil and barbaric Muslim neighbors. The context of the horrible treatment of Palestinians by the Israelis is completely ignored. The Christian population of Palestine is rendered invisible. While their co-religionists in the United States praise “our greatest ally,” Palestinian Christians find themselves hated in their own land, being spat upon, being prevented from exercising their religion, having their cemeteries desecrated, and even being murdered. This is all being done by the very people whom many of their fellow Christians have turned their support of into a matter of dogma.
Nationalists face much of the same problems. Because our enemies control the flow of information, their propaganda dominates. The media is able to spin a very peculiar story – one of hate-filled White supremacists dreaming of murdering non-Whites against peace-loving newcomers who simply want to culturally enrich their new homes with a trendy restaurant. The reality is far different, and would create new nationalists, if it were allowed to be told. It is the dark side of immigration. It is a story of increased crime and lowered wages. It also comes down to one basic question: should Whites become minorities in their own homelands? There’s a reasonable answer to that question, but not to the most deranged, anti-White leftists; however, because of the control of information, it’s something that remains untold. Much like Germany in the Great War, nationalists can be defamed with total impunity and have no real way of fighting back. No matter how outlandish the propaganda is, it will be believed by a significant amount of the population because there is nothing to counter it.
This is where the internet comes in. The internet has, in essence, rebuilt the cables and allowed for the other side of the story to be told. Although shut out of the traditional media, thanks to the internet, the plight of Palestinians, particularly Palestinian Christians, can now be told. Thanks to the internet, nationalists can now show the world that we are far from Hollywood Nazi caricatures the media wishes to portray us as. And that is why the elites are so frantically trying to regulate it. After Unite the Right, the media painted the picture of peaceful anti-racists protesters against deranged Nazis out for blood. It is no coincidence that at that moment, the Old Wild West days of the internet ended in favor of the sanitized, regulated internet. Without a major crackdown, the other side of the story could be told and the regime narrative would fall apart. But, eventually, the internet worked around this, and the old behemoths went into decline with new fronts opening up. Globohomo was able to get Facebook and YouTube to play along. They cannot make Telegram, Gab, or TikTok do the same. This is why they went after Elon Musk – he allows non-approved ideas on Twitter (X), a platform that was once firmly in their control.
The desire to recut the cables is the reason for the TikTok ban attempts. I do not like TikTok and think it has utterly destroyed a generation of young White women. But, that is not why our overlords are trying to ban it. If that were the case, there are plenty of other platforms they would ban instead. Rather, TikTok is being targeted because they refuse to remove pro-Palestinian content and have created a generational revolt against the pro-Israel monopoly. Remember, even in the post-Wild West age, we have been able to make great strides now that cables have been rebuilt. The pro-Israel consensus is now over; it is just a matter of time before the younger generation takes over and U.S. policy changes. Israel knows this, and is now moving towards China. They know the days they can count on infinite American support are over. The next generation of Christians, even Evangelicals, no longer views support for Israel as a matter of dogma. Ideas like a second Dixian secession or the Great Replacement are no longer fringe ideas.
None of this would have been plausible ten or even five years ago, and the elites trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again is a fool’s errand. You can bet that the college student of 2024 will not forget being threatened with permanent unemployment for speaking out against genocide of the Palestinian people. You can bet that the young White man will not forget being threatened with debanking for thinking that Whites should not become a minority in their own land. Much like the honest historians who were able to examine the actual evidence against Germany after Versailles, a paradigm shift is underway.

For many conservatives in the United States and some abroad, the reaction to Donald Trump’s conviction in NYC has been some variant of the phrase, ‘This is unprecedented in US history.’ To which we must reply that this simply is not the case.
But citizens of the States are notoriously illiterate of history. There is a reason for this, which we will touch on later. But for the moment it is necessary to recite some of the precedents in US history for the weaponized court conviction of Donald Trump.
First up is the Whiskey Rebellion, which occurred in western Pennsylvania. It was more or less a replay of the colonists’ rebellion against the British tax on tea, except this time it was small farmers and producers rebelling against a federal tax on whiskey, implemented in 1791.
Pres. Jefferson helped repeal the hated taxes in 1802, but the hypocrisy of the whole affair is palpable: The very people who used a tea tax to agitate a war for independence from Great Britain were quick to squelch a similar maneuver from being used by the poor working-class folk of western Pennsylvania via the new federal government’s overwhelming military force. That was an ominous beginning for the plain folk of the States (i.e., the same type of people who are now ardent Trump supporters, who are facing the same type of punitive measures by their elite) under their new federal constitution, written and ratified just a few years earlier in 1787-8. But more disturbing actions were to come.
The Alien and Sedition Acts were passed during the Adams administration in 1798, and bear an incredibly strong resemblance to what Mr. Trump is undergoing in NYC. Under these Acts, criticism of the federal government became a treasonous crime that could be punished by fines or a jail sentence. Benjamin Franklin’s grandson was charged under the act, dying before his trial, but the case of Rep. Matthew Lyon is so similar to Mr. Trump’s that it deserves special notice:
A sitting member of Congress even found himself caught up in the web spun by the Sedition Act. Matthew Lyon represented Vermont in Congress and also served as the editor of the Republican paper The Scourge of Aristocracy. During his re-election campaign, Lyon wrote a reply to his Federalist opponents, accusing President Adams of engaging in a “continual grasp for power” and of having “an unbounded thirst for ridiculous pomp, foolish adulation, and selfish avarice.” He also blasted the president for using religion to drum up war against France, writing he could not support the executive, “when I shall see the sacred name of religion employed as a state engine to make mankind hate.”
Lyon was indicted on sedition charges on Oct. 5, 1798, and arrested the next day. A federal judge fined Lyon $1,000 and sentenced him to four months in prison. (4) He served time in a 16′ x 12′ cell used for felons, counterfeiters, thieves, and runaway slaves. Judge William Paterson – an avid nationalist and supporter of the Federalist Party – lamented the fact he couldn’t impose a harsher sentence.
Lyon won reelection while in jail by a landslide.
Will Trump also win re-election ‘by a landslide?’ Leftists ought to pause to reflect on what their actions may bring about.
Nevertheless, the Alien and Sedition Acts also expired under Jefferson’s administration. One might think by these acts that Jefferson’s years as president would be bright with the light of liberty, but he also abused federal power. His embargo measures during the Napoleonic wars in Europe were a cause of much hardship in New England, bringing the commerce of her great shipping fleet to a standstill. State governments rebelled, refusing to cooperate with federal officials tasked with enforcing them, and smuggling became widespread (full details are provided in J. J. Kilpatrick’s The Sovereign States).
These embargo acts would eventually be repealed, but other federal embargo laws would continue to stir up strife in New England through the War of 1812, culminating in the pro-secession Hartford Convention of 1814.
It is telling that callous, repressive measures by the political elite were committed even by Pres. Jefferson, one of the presidents most friendly towards the ideals of the Enlightenment/classical liberalism. This makes the actions of Pres. Lincoln, who was the opposite of Mr. Jefferson – a Cromwellian figure, in fact, per Prof. Mel Bradford – all the more predictable. Pres. Lincoln launched a war to prevent peaceful Southern secession (the falsely named ‘Civil War’ of 1861-5), and his actions during that war are amongst some of the worst by a government of the US against its citizens. Some of the most egregious include the jailing of upwards of 30,000 citizens of the Northern States, deporting Ohio’s Rep. Vallandigham for opposing an income tax, silencing hundreds of newspapers, and intimidating voters.
Other notable parts of this pattern of precedents include the violent, corrupt federal Reconstruction of the South, which followed the War; the assassination of Pres. Kennedy (1963), likely at the behest of his Vice President Lyndon Johnson, among other characters; and the Ruby Ridge killings by the FBI (1992).
What conservatives saw in a NYC courtroom on May 30th, 2024, shouldn’t have startled them so badly. Things equally bad, and things much worse, have been done by their governmental elite in the past. But, as we noted above, the historical amnesia of the peoples of the States precludes this. And the cause of this forgetfulness transcends in importance the foolish and immoral acts of this or that administration or official.
That cause is the very thing upon which they pride themselves so highly: American exceptionalism. The freedom of the individual to chart his own destiny (the main aspect of American exceptionalism) necessarily means the severing of ties to the past and ties to community – for one to truly become ‘anything he wants to be,’ all restraints must be removed, however benevolent they may seem, including the most basic duties to one’s religion, family and neighborhood, history, class, culture, and even one’s own sex.
This hyper-individualism of theirs also leaves them vulnerable to the thing they dread the most: a tyrannical, lawless government. Because they are so busy pursuing their own individual dreams of happiness, they haven’t got enough solidarity either with their ancestors of the past or with their neighbors of the present, with whom they could potentially join to defend themselves against such a government.
Memories of forefathers would make a marked difference in conservative responses to the Trump trial trainwreck. Instead of apocalyptic dread and furious anger, they would have a calmer, more sober demeanor as they placed this event in a broader context, remembering that great-grandfather, etc., also faced their share of difficulties, but were able to endure and overcome – and they would know that they could do likewise, with God’s help.
For Dixie, the exploits of their ancestors in their war against the Northern invaders would be especially powerful and uplifting if they would recall them.
With valiant deeds like these in mind, who would be overly vexed by a petty district attorney in NYC trying to stir up trouble?
The same is even more true of our fathers in the Christian Faith. A holy patron like St. Sava for the Serbian people is a deep wellspring of inspiration, answering the cries of their fellow countrymen for help countless times over the years.
The ethnic groups of the cultural regions of the US have patrons of this sort – the southeastern English of Yankee New England have St. Botolph (+680), for whom Boston (Botolph’s Town) is named, and St. Edmund, the martyr-king of East Anglia (+869); the southwestern and northern English of Dixie have St. Alfred the Great (+899), king of Wessex, St. Cuthbert of Lindisfarne (+687), the Wonderworker of All England, and much more recently Blessed Dmitri of Dallas (+2011); the Africans of Dixie have St. Anthony the Great (+356) and St. Moses the Black (+400); the Germans and Scandinavians of the Great Plains have St. Ansgar of Bremen (+865), a wonderful missionary, and St. Olaf of Norway (+1030), another martyr-king; and so on. But the disdain of the typical American toward the past prevents him from befriending any of them.
Treasuring their ties to their mother-countries would aid the peoples of the States in recovering a healthy attitude toward their ancestors. It is more than a little reassuring, then, to see Louisiana, for instance, encouraging French language immersion in her public schools, along with other efforts to strengthen her ties to France and French culture.
The South more broadly, as the region most respectful of tradition in the union of States, has a strong history of doing this very thing. Open a biography of a notable Southerner (Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, Rev. Robert Lewis Dabney, and so on), and one will find more often than not a genealogy of his family, tracing his roots back to his home country across the Atlantic. These are examples from which all the States could benefit.
Thus, conservatives of the US are faced with a choice: They can continue down their ‘exceptional’ path of excessive individualism, which helps to empower the very tyranny they despise, or they can return to the ‘normal’ world of Christendom, their links to which were gravely weakened when they began their experiment in post-Christian, Enlightenment liberty in 1776.
They will find that tradition and historical knowledge empower and enrich; too much focus on the individual and his present wants and desires, enervates. If they will combine a love for tradition and history with the valuable institutions and practices that they still retain (the Christian Church, the family, political power dispersed amongst many centers and levels, common law, private and public schools, etc.), they will reduce the number and severity of tyrannical outbursts of their elite, and, if any should arise, they will not be quite as discombobulated as they find themselves at present over the Alvin Bragg inquisition of Donald Trump, but will instead be better situated to mount a meaningful and coherent response.

I’ve never used my company’s funds to pay for hookers. But, lemme tell ya, this a common practice although the expense isn’t usually listed as “hooker.” How does someone imagine that a businessman is paying for hookers? With a check? Do you think he signs an invoice with “blowjob” written on it? That money is being withdrawn at 2:00AM via an ATM transaction that his wife will see on her phone?
The level of naïveté professed from conservative outlets in America is so tiresome. In most other countries, everyone just knows this is what’s going on and doesn’t try to put on some act about how they’re shocked and outraged to the extent these matters even get brought up at all. Just because everybody knows about something doesn’t make it a matter of public discourse.
Also, I wouldn’t go on a crack binge while recording my manic escapades with these hookers. However, I get that if this is one’s preoccupation, why not go for broke and record everything? Moreover, we’ve all been to junior high school. If a girl is putting on some act about how irritated or outraged she is about a guy, this fixation clearly indicates she’s into him.
She really likes showing various photos of Hunter banging hookers. The fact that Hunter Biden kept getting away with everything simply turned Marjorie Taylor Greene on even more. The fact that he wouldn’t even give her the time of day and clearly wasn’t into her at all drove this woman wild. It’s pretty funny, and we’ve got to find our laughs where we can.
Hunter Biden traffics women for sex but ran away when I was recognized to speak to him.
The only women Hunter Biden likes to deal with are the women he hires for sex, flies across the country, films and photos his disgusting porn with, and post his nasty videos on porn sites.… pic.twitter.com/ps9C5u1fv3
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) January 10, 2024
None of the other congresspeople seem interested in these “nasty videos.” Hmm……I’d also like to point out that in more sane eras basically everywhere on the planet, it wasn’t considered appropriate for women to participate in public life. So, nobody had to be harangued by female legislators about a businessman’s prostitute consumption.
Hunter Biden was recently convicted for writing on a federal form that he didn’t have a drug problem when he purchased a gun. I’m not sure if I just summed the case up correctly, but this is what I can surmise from the coverage. Fine, whatever, he got convicted of whatever. It might not even be serious enough for any prison time.
What’s irritating is how badly everything is going wrong while conservatives try to market this as some sort of victory, or worse yet, evidence that a grand conspiracy will soon be exposed. We had to go through that during the Trump years.
At least with Hunter Biden, it’s all easy to grasp. He likes to party and live dangerously. Hookers, crack, banging his deceased brother’s wife and getting her addicted to crack, playing with pistols, impregnating strippers, driving to Vegas at over 100 MPH. That sort of thing.
His father is important, and he had lots of corrupt money to burn, so he was able to take things much further than most. It’s incredible that he’s survived into his fifties, most men on this course end up dead or in jail long before his age.
This crackhead is supposed to be a CIA asset in some sort of diabolical scheme? He was too strung out to remember to even pick up his own computer from a repair shop. Please.
To be honest, I prefer criminals like Hunter Biden whose motives are essentially stereotypical. This I can understand and it in no way disturbs my understanding of the world like forced genetic injections and kids delivered in cabinets. Take this proud black woman, for example:
ROGUE DA’S: Atlanta prosecutor
Shelitha Robertson, 62, is jailed for stealing $15 million of Paycheck Protection Program & using the cash to buy diamond rings and a Rolls Royce. U.S. District Judge Grimberg said the loss of millions was staggering. https://t.co/OHZnJZWi47— Blue Lives Matter (@RetiredNYCPD) June 9, 2024
The Daily Mail deserves an award for bestowing the most generous descriptions on black people of any publication. Currently, I serve as my county’s (deputy) dog catcher. Although I’m one election cycle away from the big seat, I don’t have access to much of anything worth stealing and I doubt the sumbitch standing between me and high office does, either. Moreover, theft is against my code of professional ethics and beneath my level of genteel refinement. I’ve never even once used the n-word, let alone pilfered a cent from the government.
If I was using my public service to enrich myself however, I’d be exercising more discretion than a pimp from the colored community, particularly if I was from the colored community.
How long can a public servant drive around wearing diamond rings in a Rolls Royce before suspicions start to arise? It’s one thing to buy a condo down in Boca under your cousin’s name or something like that, but the stereotypes have to play themselves out. Like I said, I take comfort in these stereotypes.
If the government is offering free money in a place like America, obviously this is going to result in massive amounts of fraud. It was already hemorrhaging billions in various facile schemes long before COVID. The thing about achieving success in fraud is that the paper trail shouldn’t lead directly back to yourself, which is why black people are encountering big trouble now that there’s time to review all the paperwork that was rubber stamped during the fake pandemic.
This is an element of orientating oneself towards future consequences that black people just can’t master and that’s why the free COVID money has hit them so hard. If you can’t even show up to the polls with a photo ID to vote, it logically follows that you also lack the wherewithal to utilize a suitable fake identity when defrauding the government. Bias confirmed. In this regard, COVID must be considered a resounding success.
Your Card Has Been Activated
For example, during COIVD, a pair of rappers not only defrauded the government, they also produced a rap video about their specific criminal endeavors which they uploaded to YouTube, leading to their apprehension by the authorities at the mansion used in the video, which had been rented with their ill-gotten gains.
I wrote about it at the time because I found the boastful lyric ““you gotta sell cocaine, I just file a claim” to be rather amusing and sound from a criminal standpoint. Most rap I hear while waiting for the light to change at intersections doesn’t seem to make any sense whatsoever, so I’ll confess to enjoying this particular tune.
Anyways, let’s read a bit more about the “glamorous prosecutor“:
What she said in the loan documents was extraordinary, claiming she had a workforce of more than 400, meaning she was entitled to millions of dollars in handouts for each of the companies she claimed to run.
Alright, so if anyone spent 5 minutes looking through the documents filed in your own name, then you’re busted for millions of dollars in fraud. By contrast, hooker payments can be buried anywhere under an infinite number of plausible legitimate expenses. Remember, this woman was a glamorous prosecutor:
U.S. District Judge Steven D. Grimberg said the loss of the $14 million in funds was staggering.
‘It was her level of direction and confidence in being able to commit this level of fraud without being detected that instigated it in the first place,’ Grimberg said in court.
‘Motivated by greed, Robertson deceptively obtained funds that were designated to provide emergency financial relief to struggling small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic,’ said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. ‘
‘It was her level of direction and confidence in being able to commit this level of fraud without being detected that instigated it in the first place,’ Grimberg said in court.
Um, she’s black. When a black guy robs a gas station on camera does the judge condemn his “level of direction and confidence in pointing the pistol at the clerk’s face” as the reason he did it? The motive is as simple as a hunter-gatherer plucking fruit from a tree without any thought as to why the tree exists.
She wasn’t pondering possible outcomes, duh. It’s like trying to discern some scheme behind the motivations of somebody who killed 1 person and wounded 14 by shooting into the crowd at a rap concert. So, this happened and it will continue to happen.
Time is a flat circle, the stereotypes chart its course.

Leftists are terrified of Christians enforcing a proper morality on society.
Yet, they seem to have missed the fact that our society already has a state-mandated religion, it’s just not a Christian one:
The leftist is not truly against a state-mandated religion/morality/worldview—They just don’t want it to be the True one.
For a society to exist, it must have a state-mandated morality. That morality is captured through the laws of the society. It’s the very cultural essence of a society.
Our leftist elites just pretend it does not exist, even though they are the priests of such a religion.
The anarchists, libertarians, and leftists do not like to admit it, but there is no escaping a state-enforced “religion”. We always have and always will have one. It is required for a state to exist.
We once used Christianity in this country. Now, we use the leftist egalitarian-Enlightenment religion.
There is no condition where a society exists without a consensual moral foundation built upon a system of belief. Call it what you want: Religion, Globohomo, or “philosophy”, I don’t care. It all serves the same function and acts as a religion for the masses. It becomes a religion to its adherents.
Thus, we can use the Christian religion, or we can use the leftist, BLM kneeling, homo-worshipping, white-person hating, one.
You choose.

I just read a few minutes ago that Hunter Biden’s jury in his trial had found him guilty on all the counts he had been charged with, and it only took them three hours to do so.
I must admit, I am surprised. I figured with Biden being his last name it would have been an automatic acquittal, especially in Delaware. The judge will deal with the sentencing at a later date. The maximum sentence for the three counts he was tried for is 25 years.
I can hardly picture anyone named Biden going to the slammer for that amount of time. Those kinds of things don’t happen in “our democracy.” If his last name had been Trump, then I could picture the maximum sentence being imposed, but not for a Biden or a Clinton or any of their elite buddies. Those people don’t do jail time or, if they do, it’s the bare minimum – just enough so they can claim they’ve paid their debt to society.
So, we’ll see what sentence the judge imposes when the time comes, whether it’s something substantial or something that won’t amount to a hill of beans. In all honesty, I expect the latter and I will be really surprised if it’s the former. I’d love to be wrong, and it wouldn’t be the first time. But, based on past performances with the political elites, I can’t see any Biden or Clinton, no matter how egregious their crimes are, remotely being called on in this life to pay for those crimes.
Watching over 50 years of political chicanery has made me a thoroughgoing pessimist when it comes to political culprits paying for their sins.
So, we’ll see when Hunter’s sentencing time rolls around.

Classical foreign policy, what most would describe as non-interventionism, is the most defensive and, therefore, the most defensible policy. There should be no foreign policy (as opposed to trade policy) towards nations a state is not actively at war with. The byproduct of having a foreign policy with a state that a nation is not actively at war with is that nation will be at war, largely through 4th generation means (terrorism from non-state actors within our own borders).
We all learn in school that WWI was caused by nationalism (despite the aftermath causing far more casualties) and entangling alliances. The unspoken reality behind entangling alliances is that they constitute a foreign policy, namely the ally state’s foreign policy. Much of the Islamic world has been candid in confessing that they view the United States’ entangling alliance with Israel as casus belli for war with the United States.
Equally bad, possibly worse, is entangling antagonism. Meddling in Syria against its sovereign government will get you instability in Syria at best, and retaliation from Syrian actors and their allies abroad at worst. Lest instability in Syria seem like a cheap price, the growth of ISIS depended heavily on this instability. ISIS perpetrated various attacks in the West, most notably the 2015 Paris attacks culminating in 131 casualties (not counting the attackers).
Under the Pax Americana, the world has seen no World Wars, but has seen no end of minor conflicts abroad and domestically. In Rome, they had a temple to Janus, who presided over the beginning and end of conflicts. When at peace, the doors were closed. When at war, they opened up. In Imperial Rome, the gates stood always ajar. Just so, since America became the world leader in both the UN and global dominance, the gates have always remained open. Since 1989, when the United States became the sole superpower (with Russia and China to emerge later), America took the metaphorical doors off the hinges.
Global Affairs counted the number of nations where the U.S. officially maintains active military installations at 80 (as of April 2024). Of the ever-shifting number of 195 official countries, this constitutes roughly 41%. This, of course, doesn’t include clandestine emplacements operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Special Operations Command (SOCOM). One can only estimate, but one could safely conjecture the number would approach 95%. If the sun never set on the British Empire, the US “unmpire” doesn’t miss a single time zone. The snarkier reader will note that UTC-12 or Yankee in Military Time Group (MTG) is uninhabited, but the area contains Baker Island. Baker Island, roughly halfway between Hawaii and Australia, is a U.S. territory.
The British had their share of instability during their tenure as the lead global superpower, not the least in the revolt of the United States, but these seem small, brief, and infrequent compared to the continual conflict across the globe today. During the Pax Britannica (1815-1914, roughly), Europe enjoyed 99 years of peace. People might point out that no major powers have entered a state of war in almost 100 years, if one doesn’t count stabbings, bombings, truck attacks, and the occasional arena-massacre. However, the list of places in the Balkans that had to change their names during the 90’s would challenge the notion of “peace in Europe.” Along with the Transnistria War and now the massive conflict in Ukraine, the Pax Americana only managed 46 years of peace.
To summarize, Europe has had sectarian wars that required the superpowers to dogpile the identified belligerents, a massive war egged on by the U.S. State Department and tacitly and grudgingly supported (with the notable exception of an enthusiastic UK) by European superpowers, and domestic instability and escalating crime rates that have made people reluctant to walk the streets of their own cities for the past 30 years. That was the supposed benefit of global hegemony by consensus under the UN and “global trade,” which means the U.S. and its financial interests. This benefit was supposed to offset the list of regional brushfires and open wars that resulted from twin policies of nations abandoning their colonies and the U.S. attempting to maintain soft control over them through monetary and diplomatic endeavors. “Diplomatic and monetary endeavors” may be shortened to “monetary endeavors” as all diplomacy begins and ends with “if you want financial aid.”
How do we let the tiger go without getting mauled? We cease any and all foreign aid. We maintain military bases as necessary to ensure the safety of international trade against piracy. We deport any and all who have a problem with the cessation of cashflow to their benighted place of origin which they fled in desperation. We cease poking competitor-states in the eye and daring them to do something about it.
The reason BRICS appeals to many nations is how relatively hands-off Russia and China are in their administration. The vassal states don’t have to worry about observing the correct victim month at their embassies or feigning support for vastly unpopular positions among their populace. They’re willing to take a pay-cut to be left alone. So, let’s leave them alone. We will secure the resources we require through trade. If the owners of the resources are unwilling to sell them, we will make do with what we have or we will go to war for them. But the war will be declared and conducted by the full will of the populace, and our nation will be able to justify it based on merit of argument. At the very least, the transparency of invading for resources would be a welcome and refreshing change from the tired lie of “bringing democracy.”

I recently reread Victoria: A Novel of 4th Generation War by William S. Lind. He published it under the name Thomas Hobbes. I can’t really recommend it as it’s eye-rolling in its premise and plot and the dialogue is trite. You can tell which characters are Mary-Sue stand-ins for Lind and the people he cares for in his life. To call the book an “analogical allegory” is to give it too much credit. Indeed, its page on TV Tropes is impressive in its length given the relative brevity of the book. The book is amusing at times, even though it’s so “on the nose” it may as well be one of those dumpster fire doorknocker bull-rings women have become obsessed with wearing in their septums. I must confess, I like the book because of the people who hate it.
In the book, the chief stand-in for Lind, Bill Kraft, espouses a taste for “retro-culture.” He owns nothing made after 1965. The New England states all eventually adopt this and go further back in their restrictions to the 1930s. The idea espoused is that technology has dehumanized people and is a root-cause for a lot of social problems, if not all of them. This puts the cart squarely before the horse.
All of the arguments Lind attempts to use for retro-culture in Victoria, which is indeed an ideology, are arbitrary. Ideologies are condemned by Kraft in the book in very strict terms and, when challenged that retro-culture is an ideology, he makes an uncompelling argument that it’s merely “returning to a saner way of life.” He argues television is a cause, much less a necessary precondition, for filth and Marxism. One could equally argue the Gutenberg press was a cause for Jehovah’s Witnesses or even Lady Chatterley’s Lover and the subsequent obscenities foisted on mankind.
Technology certainly enables laxity and provides a cloak to societal decay, but people seem to have a strange fetish for wanting to pause technological innovation at the level they are most nostalgic for, extending to periods they never personally experienced. I do agree that there are technologies that are not neutral in their uses. Prophylactics are a great example. So is gain-of-function research. We should prohibit evil knowledge.
It seems to me that a better answer to the media conundrum is a “league of decency.” We had one and produced some of the best cinema ever made. Our society imposed its moral sensibilities onto the creative industry and we received good art in exchange, and subversion remained banished to the outskirts of acceptable society.
In the book, Lind also laments that long-range vehicles destroy a sense of community that forms in areas where people do not travel often or far (he argues media compounds this). The problem is, he’s again putting the cart before the horse. In traditional small towns and in cities, families often had long-range cars and still knew and visited their neighbors. I grew up in the suburbs and was hardly alienated. That came later. It wasn’t technology. It had more to do with what Robert Putnam grudgingly discovered in Bowling Alone.
Social alienation is certainly exacerbated by technology, but it’s caused by a lack of trust and other products of the growing dysmorphia between reality and the reality dictated by conventional sources via forced-consensus. Isolation, narcissism, and alienation don’t pour out of media. We pour ourselves into media because of isolation, narcissism, and alienation.
The rootlessness of the modern United States is due to economic and crime patterns. Given the collapse of the job market due to outsourcing, insourcing, and, to an overstated extent, automation, people have abandoned long-time family homelands. A society of strangers without the trust or warmth to make new bonds will quickly devolve into alienation. The military has to make concerted efforts to force strangers into communities due to the nature of duty stations and transfers. The real struggle is in rebuilding communities rather than some great technological evil.
Moreover, the reason your television beams in evil is because evil people are behind the beam. One could equally lament how the record and the radio destroyed live music. Why stop at the 1930s (this author reflected and placed “19” before “30’s” as it occurs to him that we will shortly be in the 2030s and whatever dread that holds for us)? Because Lind is making some unprincipled exceptions. I don’t think any society in the 1930s had the level of piety, earthiness, and community of the 1030s. Ought we tear off our roofing and replace it with thatch? If it’s an argument of inconvenience, no. Is 1930s retro-culture an exception on the convenience of the level of technology the author feels he can live with comfortably? It seems so.
I’m afraid the answer lies in discipline in discernment. These two things are particularly difficult for people, and they have become more difficult. One remembers the common refrain in Judges, “And every man did what was right in his own eyes.” Yes, there must be standards. No, they will not always be clear. Discernment and discipline require constant energy and attention.
If you read your Bible, you’re no stranger to this notion. Salvation isn’t a “fire-and-forget” concept. Our Founding Fathers thought the Constitution would preserve the core of the country they founded and prevent all gross perversion and the descent into “democracy.” Rules and laws only have effect inasmuch as the people have a will to enforce them. The rules have faded, and we have people arguing ridiculous ideas like that the 2nd Amendment only applies to conventional weapons of the 18th Century while exempting the 1st Amendment so that the media can continue to pelt us with filth and lies at 5G speeds. A law isn’t worth a damn if nobody follows it and there’s no punishment for those who transgress.
People will always experience temptation, and there will always be a market for sin. It’s a matter of personal responsibility to resist. Community can help and make participation in sin costly. But you must choose to assent to be part of such a community and to perpetuate this community. We’re back at the problem of human will and the requirements of discipline and discernment.
Winding the clock back to an arbitrary date technologically, will not fix these problems. The Amish, although suffering far less vice than the average American, are still tethered to the fate of America. The military, in Victoria, maintains an exemption to the laws about technology. This is a necessity. You don’t fight your mortal enemy with shield and sword while they call in drone strikes and various other things you call “unsporting.” Yes, we have “Just War” theory, but it’s worth noting that historically this only applied to Christendom. When Europe went to war with Saracens, they showed no quarter, for they were shown none. At any rate, Just War theory went out the window with WWI. You could make an argument that it first began to lapse in the Napoleonic Wars with the act of conscription to go kill other European Christians rather than relying on professional militaries. Perhaps we can return to more chivalric notions of violence between Europeans when there’s a “Europe” to speak of. To do so now would only invite disaster.
One thing remains clear: we can’t simply “go back” and rewind the clock from where we are now. Even if we had the political will and force to return to a different technological era, I feel confident that the temptations would persist, and people would find novel ways to create misery. We would inevitably find ourselves in the chimeric environment in which we live today. Moreover, we would deny ourselves many of the graces God has granted us through intellect. I believe “Science” must become a lower-case “s-word” again and resume its prior status as a study of the natural world as God made it, and that all good things are a gift from God. However, the arbitrary limitation of our technological capacity will not address the fundamental problems of discipline and discernment.
I’ll leave you with the words of Dimitri Karamazov in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov. “The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and the devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man”

Why are Indians so predominant in leftist movements, particularly heading them? Many older conservatives perpetuate the myth that Indians are conservative, as well. Perhaps, they talked to a handful of the Indian men at work who are socially conservative. That said, with the possible exception of Vivek Ramaswamy, even all of the Indian activists on the “Right” are to the left of their White peers on the Right. Dinesh D’Souza smears conservative activism prior to the 1970s as “actually leftist.” Nikki “Not My Real Name” Haley has the exact same political positions as a 2008 Barack Obama. You’d think you’d be able to find a Steve King, or a Satvik Kandahari, if you please. But, alas, no. If you’re looking for a Pavel Buchanan, you’re in even worse shape.
One must come to terms with the fact that the fundamental allegiance of Indians in the United States (and the West in general) is to the Left. There are a few reasons for this. We’ll address them one by one.
These days, “White” has replaced WASP as the object of vitriol from the malcontents. More specifically, “White man” has replaced “White” as the cause of all pestilence, famine, war, and the reason your toast always falls buttered-side down. We must remove him from power – yesterday, if at all possible. So, who’s on “team not-White”? Everybody else. The Dissident Right often refers to this unholy alliance as the “Coalition of the Ascendant.” White women and White men can join to if they opt to become feminists, gays, transexuals, or perhaps all of these. Anything to get out of the target zone.
Indians have benefitted from preferential treatment as “Southeast Asians.” They enjoy enhanced visa acceptance, academic scholarships and university placement, hiring preferences, and other sorts of goodies that, when we started giving out, were earmarked only to blacks. We were mean to them, according to our textbooks. We were mean to Indians, too, but we’re talking about a different kind of Indian. And before you whine at me for calling them that, both the disreputable Bureau of Indian Affairs and the more reputable American Indian Movement both refer to themselves as that. The closest the Indians of Asia can get to saying Americans were mean to them is that the British were mean to them, and the British were…you guessed it: WASPS.
Everybody knows a good grift when they see one. The Indians have merely joined in with the blacks, Hispanics, East Asians, and the rest in an attempt to extort tax money from the White middle-class in order to fund their ascendency in the United States. They now typically trade-off with East Asians and Jews for “highest income per household in the U.S.,” per studies and census data. None of these strike me as particularly oppressed groups, but I’m here to take Indians to task for today. East Asians will have to wait. The other group? What other group? I never mentioned another group and neither should you, if you don’t want to end up in Jonathan Greenblatt’s crosshairs.
Dinesh D’Souza read the conventional Right’s worship of WW2 America so well that he wrote an entire book about how Nazis, who criminalized public lewdness, sent women back to the kitchen, and regularly burned degenerate literature, were, in fact, “progressives.” He went too far, but he just couldn’t help himself. Fortunately for him, the average American conservative is dumber than he is. Sure, 1933 Germany was National “Socialist,” but I don’t see the average conservative whining about the corporatist nationalization of the American railroad system in the 19th century or the existence of the U.S. postal service.
If you see an Indian bending over backwards (this isn’t a yoga joke) to double down on the leftist perspective to the point of absurdity, realize it’s because she’s read the room and she knows who’s in charge. Regardless of which party controls the three branches of government, an army of bureaucrats, the media, lobbyists, and corporate managerial types enact progressive policy or stymie conservative policy. It doesn’t matter who’s in office, somehow the Left always gets their way with few exceptions.
Under Reagan, our jobs got shipped overseas. With Bush Sr. we got new taxes. Under W. Bush we got “No Child Left Behind.” Under Trump, we got $250 million a year pumped into Historically Black Universities so they could learn to hate White people with slightly better grammar. For brevity’s sake, I’m sticking to one achievement per person. Rest assured, there’s plenty more. And all of their “conservative” achievements were meaningless and ultimately ineffective, which is why I suspect they were permitted to obtain them. Some of these guys had majority-Republican Congresses and Supreme Courts to boot.
Indians have correctly pinpointed that leftists hold virtually all power in the U.S. and have since the 1960s. They don’t see it changing any time soon, and they want to ensure the undisputed king knows they’re loyal, even if the king finds their offers to lick his shoes distasteful and kind of embarrassing.
They feel confident that they can easily govern a United States composed primarily of blacks and Hispanics as well. Eventually, they’ll no-doubt import their “untouchable” Dalit class. I must confess, history’s on their side if we’re talking about governing a nation with limited social strife and hierarchical instability. That said, in terms of the typical yardsticks of society, America would be a much worse place. America would resemble India with a colder climate. Nobody wants to live in India, least of all Indians.
Don’t believe my prognosis? Is it possible to walk down the street anywhere in Mumbai free from rape, robbery, or murder? Is it possible to eat the food without fear of food poisoning? Are the streets pristine and not littered with garbage and human refuse? Well, it depends. If you are walking in Bombay, as Mumbai was called during the British Raj, yes. India used to be a place where one could have reasonable security of his or her person and property. The streets were clean and orderly. The Raj held vendors to standards for cleanliness and health. Did they have the iPhone or the laptop? No, but they couldn’t run phone-scams from them, either. And if they could, it would have been prohibited and the practitioners punished severely.
If you can believe (and you should) that India under Indian rule became unlivable, it shouldn’t be a stretch of your imagination to believe that America under Indian rule will become unlivable. There might be good technology. They might even develop some technology (doubtful). But given that many people surveyed in the United States view previous decades as better, I think a lot of people would forgo the iPhone or even the Nintendo 64 for a safe, stable, and prosperous society. Instead, you’ll find the blacks, Hispanics, and Dalits in their ghettos as the various higher castes go about their business, trying not to think about the decline of the country they conquered and definitely trying not to wonder why they couldn’t maintain it.

I do not follow the NBA and I care even less about the WNBA. That being said, I do not live under a rock and thus I am aware of Caitlin Clark, the most recent first overall draft pick for the WNBA and who is projected to be a future superstar. She certainly looks to be one of the most marketable players the league has ever had. This is important because another, years-long controversy concerning the WNBA is that their players are not paid enough – especially in relation to the NBA. Now, the reasons for this are obvious enough, the NBA is a multi-billion-dollar industry with global reach, something the WNBA cannot even come close to achieving. Everyone knows this, but people would rather keep their job than make an honest observation.
If that is your goal, a player like Caitlin Clark is a welcomed addition to the league. Not that she will turn the WNBA into an NBA-level juggernaut anytime soon, but having a household name player will bring in more revenue, which will boost player pay. We can see this same phenomenon in the NBA. As hard as it is to believe now, but up until the mid-1980s and especially before the mid-1970s, basketball was nowhere near as popular as the NFL and MLB. Just to give you an idea of how little popularity the NBA once had – on March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single game. It’s a record that has never been broken and will almost certainly never be broken. The game even took place in Madison Square Garden, but no footage of it exists; basketball was not popular enough for anyone to bother filming it. But, a series of highly marketable players, the most significant of which was Michael Jordan, changed all that. One would think Caitlin Clark would be universally welcomed. A high-profile player that can bring new fans to the game and help raise player salaries. And indeed, attendance has gone up significantly in just her short time in the league.
However, one would be wrong about her welcomed status in the WNBA because Caitlin Clark is White.
To be fair, there has been some push back on this, with many defending her, but it is still remarkable just how much hatred she is inspiring for being White. Several pieces, from mainstream outlets, are complaining about a White person being the most popular athlete in a traditionally black sport, and even some of the players have joined in with Clark being frequently fouled. One of the players even received a standing ovation from the fans after fouling Clark.
This should serve as a reminder of just how little Whites can do to appease the Left. Caitlin Clark is Catholic, but as far as I can tell, is far from being Harrison Butker. She offers the WNBA the one thing that a league needs to break through, a bankable star. It really is hard to overstate just how important this is. As I’ve already mentioned, Michael Jordan and others helped turn the NBA into what it is today. I am, believe it or not, a hockey fan, and I very much owe my fandom to Wayne Gretzky’s trade to the Los Angeles Kings. That trade opened up the sport to warm weather climates. Caitlin Clark could do the same for the WNBA. If anyone is serious about increasing player salary, Clark is a godsend. But it was never about the financial fate of WNBA players. It was about hating men, blaming sexism for the salary discrepancy and ignoring all other factors. As it turns out, that was also not enough. It is also about hating Whites, which is why Clark has soon found herself cast as a White devil rather than as an important part of the sisterhood.
We must understand that we are dealing with fundamentally miserable people who like to wallow in their own misery. I am not talking about the average black person on the street, but the activist class that hates life. They will never be happy, and they like it better that way. There is no appeasing them. You can give them a realistic chance of getting something they say they want, and they will still hate you. Caitlin Clark is now learning that the hard way.

When the ruling party starts conducting kangaroo court proceedings versus rival presidential candidates, the temptation is to extrapolate to full Stalinist show trials – the regime culling its enemies as a signifier of victory rather than as a mechanism to achieve it.
This isn’t exactly wrong. But paradoxically, despite losing his show trial, Trump is not headed towards the Lubyanka basement. NPR is gently preparing their audience for a sentencing hearing that results in zero jail time, but instead delivers a cinematic montage of what awaits his supporters if they lose – a mere four days before the Republican National Convention.
How did we get to this point? I have a few hypotheses.
No. 1: Affirmative action DAs botching a kangaroo court was good actually
In this telling, the scholarly honors student Alvin Bragg (Harvard class of ‘95, where he was literally described as “the anointed one” by a publication that still understood how to do a tiny bit of irony) jumped the gun and initiated an incredibly ham-handed railroading of the leading presidential candidate in a way that can only further Trump’s campaign pitches – that he is a threat to the system, that he and his supporters are persecuted by an unjust regime, that DEMOCRATS are rigging the election, again, and so on. Existing institutions are delegitimized, Trump is now forced to WIN or DIE, and upon ascension will begin the process of dismantling them out of sheer self preservation instinct.
Alvin Bragg doesn’t care about any of this, because he wants to be governor or attorney general or etc, and high profile screwjobs are canonically how a prosecutor gets there, regardless of who holds the presidency as a result. Trust the plan – Bragg arrested, Gitmo’d, executed by ‘26.
No. 2: They’re literally just gonna kill him
It is over. The trial was not a delaying or smearing tactic; the Democrat apparatchik put in charge of the railroading will complete the maneuver by imposing a sentence sufficient to preclude campaigning, or a bullshit “parole” or “home confinement” that allows him to summon Trump at will with the same effect. Trump is martyred in prison. Biden resigns for “health reasons”. Kamala Harris cackles into the Oval Office as our first Canadian president, with Gavin to follow, succeeded by an infinite string of party men in various shades of brown and grey.
No. 3: A hamhanded hamstringing a la Trump’s first term
The more “normal” the election is, the likelier a Trump victory. 2020 happened because libs essentially declared a global state of exception, where we couldn’t possibly follow antiquated principles like one man-one vote, or an “election day”, in the context of Basically The Plague plus Literally Hitler trying to win, racistly. Without the ability to pull these maneuvers, or to pretend that Biden is the “return to normalcy” candidate, Trump has an excellent shot.
So the goal is to cripple his administration, exactly as they did the first time, with various ongoing civil and criminal legal entanglements that everyone pretends to take super seriously. “Mr. President, did you check in with your parole officer before you flew to Geneva to mediate the Ukraine war?”
No. 4: The fix was in, and Trump is the fall guy
The inverse 5D Warhammer hypothesis. The objective material situation, globally, is not great. The supranational NATO “security” clique seems like they are trying to tiptoe into a hot war with Russia. The US economy has been in a state of dislocation since 2020 that is becoming increasingly unignorable – stagflation combined with a federal debt burden that cannot plausibly be increased at its current rate means that the dice are loaded for a classic debt crisis sometime in the next four years.
In this view, Trump will be the opportunity to lance the boil on all these problems at once, and lay the fallout at his feet. Regime change in Russia and the completion of the 90s looting project that was aborted when Putin came to power, a domestic cramdown of disastrous economic policies on an uppity middle class, and provocation of China into a hot war while it is still theoretically winnable.
This is compatible with No. 3, but with the variation that the prosecutions are designed to fail, by picking novel legal theories with the worst possible fact patterns, rather than whatever legitimate white collar crime could be dug up from a 40 year career in property development. I love property developers, some of my best friends etc, but I cannot think of a single one that doesn’t have colorable felonies under their belt given that the essence of the job is telling mutually supporting lies to counterparties to resolve coordination issues around funding vs opportunities vs permitting vs buyers and so on, butressed by an exoskeleton of bribes.
Doing this under Biden, or forcing Kamala to cackle through it, risks laying it at the feet of the Party, when the goal would ideally be to blame it on Full Socialism never having been tried.
But what is actually going on?
The left relies heavily on memes for distributed coordination. You don’t need to hand out marching orders when you have a ruling class that thinks more or less identically, modulo some minor tactical disagreements. The implication is that all of these can be true, for various distinct actors, and the Trump prosecution was a Murder on the Libtard Express. But what it really signifies is the completion of the liberal project – everything that can be “liberated” has been, and now we are observing the fallout start to accrue. It is an empirical question how this shakes out over the next couple years (this being the funniest timeline, my money is on Trump somehow riding the situation into ruling as dictator-for-life for another twenty), but we will not get, for instance, reciprocal prosecutions of libs by red state attorneys general – there is no metastable back-and-forth equilibrium to be had, it will collapse to one thing or another.
The only worthwhile political project right now is making sure that Trump in fact comes through this as the win-or-die candidate and subsequently pulls it off.

Art critics view film as the pinnacle of art as it combines acting, choreography and dance, visual art via cinematography, music, and writing. One would think these art critics have a black-and-white French auteur film in mind when they say this, but these movies hardly move anybody who isn’t dripping with pretension and desire for praise of their taste. Where are the pyrotechnics, rock riffs, and bulging biceps?
America perfected this synthesis of art, and it’s called professional wrestling. It’s got nothing in common with Greco-Roman wrestling as practiced in middle schools, high schools, colleges, or the Olympics. If anybody’s practicing pro wrestling on amateur levels, it’s kids and inebriated adults in their backyards with the predictable trips to the ER following shortly thereafter.
What makes professional wrestling superior to film? It does everything that film does while incorporating gymnastics and also exploring concepts such as performance art and audience participation in the creation of the art. It simultaneously captures irony and genuineness in its performative nature and the loyalty of its fans, many of whom swear it’s not staged. And it started a solid three decades ahead of Burning Man.
One should think of pro wrestling, especially through the WWE or AEW (or even older and more Southern, such the NWA territories) as an American Kabuki theater — with flamethrowers, cages, and folding chairs. There’s not just choreography. There’s choreographed backflip body-slams. There’s not just a grim narrator describing the story. There’s Jim Ross. There’s not just dramatic drums and flutes. There’s Limp Bizkit and motorcycles.
It’s over-the-top. It’s got everything you could want. Although the art class views it as low-brow, it transcends all of their standards and creates a uniquely American form of art. So far, nowhere else on Earth has come close to capturing it. The French have their Impressionist painters. The Netherlands has the Dutch Masters. The Russians have their grim novelists. The English and Irish have their melancholy poets. The Italians have their operas. The Germans have their symphonies. The Spaniards and Portuguese have their architecture.
As for we Americans, we’ve got the folding chair, the scream of an electric guitar, and a perfectly executed double-suplex.

“Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me.”
Psalm 3:1
As the American clown car careens around what may be one of the final curves, it would be good to come to terms with what you and I are capable of doing about it.
The correct answer is, nothing.
But there’s a prudential powerless nothing, like understanding you can’t change the weather and that shaking your fist at clouds is silly. Then there’s a slothful and stupid nothing, like choosing to not get out of the rain and lightning.
As fun as it might be, daring to predict the future is more than a little played out. Too many have been predicting an inevitable life in the Thunderdome since the 2007-2008 financial crisis. (I literally don’t know anyone who wouldn’t have preferred that over the reality of the last 15 years.) Nevertheless, let’s examine five looming issues in context of the two ways in which you can Do Nothing.
TrumpThe injustice is extreme and the final act in the psycho fantasy of the Regime is only just beginning to play out.
The prudential Do Nothing response is do not Fedpost, do not attend a rally, do not donate, do not argue with the impenetrably stupid, do not contact your congressman, and do not worry because you are completely and utterly powerless to save The Donald or fix the system.
If Trump is alive and actually on the ballot, the stupid Do Nothing is to not vote for him. In spite of him embodying the Yankee Boomer, and for all his faults, all the missteps, all the kowtowing to POCs, Israel, and celebration of MAGA trannies, if there’s even a 1% chance he will actually begin deportations (or at least get the conversation into the mainstream), you have to support him. If your position is that “my vote is meaningless because the system is rigged,” you’ve brought a smile to the faces of Hector and Camacho. The South will not survive four more years of MesoAmerican enrichment.
The EconomyInflation, the deliberate killing of the dollar, the impending release of a BRICS currency, the fact that a double wide can now cost as much as a stick frame home did just five years ago… these are just a few of the very real things that may quickly go from bad macro problems to micro crisis, as in your wallet is noticeably thinner.
The wise Do Nothing is to not spend a penny more than you need on non-essentials until you see how 2024 plays out. It is remarkable the collapse hasn’t happened, and it may just limp along for years and years. Or not. I clearly remember 2007 and the hot moments since then and things do feel significantly more urgent.
The stupid Do Nothing is not to spend every penny you can spare on things that you will continue to need, use and that you may depend on to live and trade with, like extra chain saws, food, and laying hens. Crypto, gold coins and a second Trijicon ACOG should not be on that list.
WarPick the continent, spin the wheel, win a conflict. The rumors say nuclear is incoming imminent, wonks say mostly regional fighting is still decades away. With collapsing birth rates across the First World and the rise of non-Western powers, wars will certainly come.
The prudential Do Nothing means don’t have any anxiety over this. We are very small fish in a pond with whales. Like trying to reform a three letter agency or saving Trump from having a fatal slip and fall accident in his cell, realize you’re powerless.
The slothful and stupid Do Nothing would be to not discourage someone who’s ready to enlist right now. Shoot them in the foot if you need to. Think about how to keep as much normalcy in your family’s lives if supply chains grind to a halt, and start closing gaps.
As much as our darker side might be happy to see urban blue centers under mushroom clouds, it means you’re probably going to die, too. Doing nothing to get right with God and striving to remain in a state of Grace would be a mistake.
Civil UnrestThe malnourished underclasses are sent from Rent-a-Mob.com for reasons of justice and rage, people behaving badly when the WIC debit card shows a zero balance, the weekend release of a new Nike… the tempo of street violence and in particular POC v. Whitey is increasing.
The smart Do Nothing is to not protect feelings but have the courage to calmly tell normie friends and family that this is a racial problem first. Even if blame could be assigned to ideological brainwashing by the Left, unfair economics, past grievances, or a bad batch of Covid bath salts on the streets, it does nothing to change the reality that the zombies want to eat your brain. The prudential Do Nothing also means having no guilt for accepting that this reality can’t be changed and you’re not a bad person filled with hate for understanding this.
The stupid Do Nothing is to not move away from zip codes with zombies. If you’re not also actively building friendships with likeminded people within a ten-mile radius that you can count on to watch your family, put out a fire, or have a meal with, realize zombies have cars and they will figure out where you live sooner or later. You’ll need people you can count on to help keep them away.
DixieReconstructed, reimagined, regurgitated. For every bright spot in the South, there are two with mold that need bleaching.
Do Nothing to actively support local politics courting corporations to relocate to the South because it’s good for the economy and will create jobs. These companies are cancer. They forever change rural and urban areas as they import workers and their out of state cultures (often from out of country), and with disproportionate influence, they are making communities, the schools, and coffee shops gay.
You should Do Nothing to support or emulate a culture that wants to kill you. Do Nothing to make peace with the Yankee zeitgeist and style, no matter how alluring or cool as it may seem. It is all deception.
Do Nothing selfish or stupid to hurt the cause of a Free Dixie. This begins with understanding we’re each an ambassador and Doing Nothing that shows you take this role seriously in our public and private conduct, including how we look physically, is a big miss.
We have a movement of spirit more than an organized body. A broad and unified coalition acting in a coordinated effort (even if operating under the radar) doesn’t exist at a scale large enough to make a difference yet given the pressing rate of change and possible chaos. Get connected with people locally (they are there) and use the resources available to smartly evangelize for Dixie. Legacy Southern Heritage organizations are not perfect, but they are forward facing and could probably use our support and charitable input. Infighting and publicly attacking them and each other is harmful. The manly and right thing to do is privately communicate and discuss problems. For those not yet onboard, from the outside, we look fractured, sometimes crazy, definitely unappealing.
Do SomethingThe bad news is that life is not going to get easier and these big problems, regardless of their timelines, will not peacefully resolve themselves. The good news is individually and collectively we can do something right now.
Some of the most complex trench systems during the Civil War were dug by hand and in just a few weeks. We likely have months to years to dig in. There will be no excuse for being caught in the open.
The post Or, You Could Just Do Nothing appeared first on Identity Dixie.
In terms of salable rationales for bombing non-compliant nations across the planet into submission, sodomy would have to be our very best. That’s because it’s a value which all human beings hold dear. Lots of things can be shared through sodomy, much the same as how lots of things can be shared via airplanes. For example: firebombs, nuclear weapons, or Agent Orange.
Nothing brings a sleepy village on the edge of the jungle into the 21st century quite like a few canisters of napalm. Plenty of little kids from Vietnam graced with this experience probably went on to become real Americans just like us. As they bled out on the floor of a nail salon from an armed robbery, I bet they thanked their lucky stars for the day that napalm modernized their extended families. Depending on the estimates, there’s at least a million such cases.
If anyone forgets to value sodomy, America, the world’s indispensable nation, can gently remind them with a color revolution or various other domestic catastrophes engineered in Washington, DC. This will be worth it for the citizens of these nations. Kids are quite expensive to raise, so once they have more spending money in their pockets and their attitudes adjusted, the adults who were burdened with these kids develop a grateful disposition towards Americans.
If they refuse sodomy, well that’s when the gloves must come off. It’s what these poor bastards deserve, and more importantly, what they need. Case in point, there’s a troublesome patch of ground in the Middle East known as the Gaza Strip. It’s supposed to be for trendy Jewish beach condos with a wide main street running down the entire length for pride parades.
Instead, Gaza is inhabited by a retrograde blend of Arab known as Palestinians. They’re determined to linger where they don’t belong rather than moving on to the gay discos being prepared for them in the Egyptian desert.
Everything the Jews have done to them is in the name of love, and yet the Palestinians can’t summon the gratitude to move through the Rafah border crossing. Each day, people around the globe become more exasperated with these Palestinians.

It’s not as if we don’t have our own shortcomings. There’s plenty of progress to be made in our political system, for example. That’s why brilliant female leaders like Nikki Haley are blazing the way towards a more dynamic democracy. She’s proclaimed, and quite lividly so, that Israel doesn’t need America, America needs Israel.
I guess my background was a bit too stale, pale, and male to understand this geopolitical masterstroke. I’d always considered the relationship in more conventional terms. We’re the massive entity cutting the checks, Israel is the tiny entity collecting the money. Israel has the regional problems, we deploy the carrier battle groups. Seemed like quite a simple flow chart to understand any situation which might arise.

Herpes will be the least of their problems. What about white phosphorous? I was also vexed by the issue of delivering explosives to targets. For one thing, America produces these munitions. Another would be the method of delivery. America is the only nation defending sodomy with a fleet of heavy strategic bombers. We have a long tradition of using our industrial might to lift bombs high into the air with four engines and transport them vast distances in order to obliterate the populations of entire cities.
During the dark days of the Third Reich, the residents of Dresden and Cologne found themselves caught up in the madness of opposing the proliferation of sodomy introduced during the Weimar Republic, going so far as to burn books about how to turn Germans into transgenders through surgery. We corrected their intransigence with incendiary bombs, reducing these bigots to ashes. The flames were so intense that bombers were blown off course by the rising hot air from the hell they unleashed on the women and children below.
If I recall correctly, these missions of mercy were carried out by B-17 Flying Fortresses. Their direct successor would be the B-52 Stratofortress. We also have the B-1 Lancer and an iconic stealth bomber, the B-2 Spirit. Israel has been doing its best to enlighten Gaza with F-35s and F-16s, which can only carry a fraction of their payloads. So, what do we need Israel for? We could reenact the glory of World War 2 by leveling the entire strip in a single night if we choose to do so, but Nikki Haley offers zero elaboration on this topic.

I eventually realized Nikki’s point is that Israel has a stronger faith in sodomy than America. For all of our industrial might, our enthusiasm for anal endeavors is still rather tepid by comparison. We therefore lack the courage of conscience to drop what must be dropped on the Palestinians. This is why we need Israel, or else the light of sodomy will never shine upon the Gaza Strip. Only Jews have the moral clarity to drop eight precision bombs that weigh one ton apiece on a refugee camp.
America’s hands are already full, anyways. We’ve been assembling a coalition around the globe to take on the biggest opponents of sodomy, China and Russia. China labels it a mental illness and bans the dissemination of content to curious citizens yearning to take their children to parades where men prance around in leather costumes and twerk naked to shake the AIDS virus off on adolescent spectators.
Worse yet, Vladimir Putin, the sonofabitch who stole our 2016 election, labels it all “satanic” and has his thugs at the FSB raiding LGBTQ+ activists. His air force also has an array of heavy bombers, and now drops over 3,000 glide bombs on the Ukrainians per month for holding pride parades in Kiev.

Wait for the very next tweet…..Fortunately, elder statesman Lloyd Austin has been uniting nations that comprise a whopping 18% of the world’s population into a global arsenal of sodomy. Nobody can get themselves enough rectal rectitude. It’s as wholesome as young children giggling with puppies and kittens on a bright sunny day.
This is a pretty astute approach with the Asians in particular, since they’d check to make sure the doors were locked if they spotted Austin walking down the sidewalk next to their car. We need to share the right values to unite our allies in this darkest of hours. What’s better than a dick right up the ass?

While citizens of the world eagerly await the day that foreign semi-slave laborers can begin clearing the rubble of Gaza for redevelopment, I must confirm to our readers that the next front will open against Russia and China. Putin will never stop peddling conspiracy theories about “satanism” and an attack on the family structure, while the Chinese Ant Farm is too collective and autistic to appreciate the value of a dick up the ass.
Something must be done of course, or else America would be abdicating its leading role in the world. Through cross-referencing our history with our values, we can infer that this spells a mandate for the delivery of big-time firepower. As Donald Trump would phrase it: fabulous firepower, the biggest firepower anyone has ever seen. It’s gonna be some really great firepower.

With American support, the Ukrainians recently attacked one of Russia’s early warning radars with drones. These facilities alert their leadership to incoming ICBMs, providing precious minutes for making decisions about launching a counter strike. I think we can all do the math on this one.
Apparently, so can Putin. Tactical nuclear warheads mounted on Iskander mobile systems have been deployed to Belarus, and nuclear readiness drills have recently been conducted. We can’t allow the blustering of a Soviet thug deter our imposition of the Rules-Based International Order. It would appear we’re heading for a showdown hotter than a super strain of gonorrhea bred inside of a gay man’s anus.
Dick, up the ass. That’s the rule. Without rules, there can be no freedom or human rights. These rules are the responsibility of all patriotic Americans. The rest of the world yearns for freedom while looking to this great nation for leadership. The courage of America is our character.
The character of America is a man crawling across the asphalt on all fours with a ball gag in his mouth. As small children cheer from the sidewalk, another man dressed as a festive female demon flogs him with a riding crop. Through freedom, our dignity shines like a beacon to the oppressed.

The post Sharing These Values appeared first on Identity Dixie.
In a previous work,[1] I spent about 90 pages on what caused the Southern states to leave the Union. I argue the central theme, the underlying issue to all the other disagreements, was the Southern commitment to “states’ rights.” But what are states’ rights, and how does it contrast with the opposite, what Lincoln wanted, centralization?
States’ rights are our American version of decentralization or self-government. Decentralization, or localism, is based first on the extended family or household; when grouped with other clans, this became a locality, creating laws organically for the benefit of all. On the other hand, centralization occurs when forces far from these self-governing localities use their power and influence to impose their ways on smaller localities. In such a situation, the former free individuals lose their self-governance and the option to choose from diverse ways of life, becoming tools used to benefit those in power in distant lands under an increasingly conformist policy.
People conceived of governments to benefit them and reflect eternal law, but eventually, they become so powerful and efficient they begin to manipulate the people for their own benefit. Democratic states tend to end up centralizing political power in a few oligarchs. The central authority begins to creep in and take over every opposing competing institution able to impede its progress. They subject local governance, churches, family or tribal ties, local laws, and customs to the majority’s will, imposed by a small minority of powerful government officials. Further, only the largest majority is sovereign. The largest majority at the federal level overrules numerous smaller and more diverse majorities in smaller localities. Centralization inevitably leads to One Majority to Rule Them All.
Once power becomes centralized in the majority at the federal level they make super PACs with powerful interest groups. Money and power are transferred between these groups as they increasingly stack the deck in their favor and advertise to the voters they are vital to maintain. Through regulations, the oligarchs impede competition from the individual, local authorities, the local shop owner, the farmer, and on down the line. At the same time, they subsidize the more prominent corporations, bankers, politicians, and their allies. Eventually, they manipulate society to fit them to how they can serve the central authority best. Human nature, the mind, and even the soul are all adapted as needed.
If I brought my car to be repaired by the Amish, and they decided to swap out my car for a buggy, it is improbable I would ever return to them for repairs. Yet, no matter how poorly the government’s services perform, we are forced to keep returning to the same system; the modern state is the destroyer of diversity.
Decentralization allows for diversity in politics. It allows each area to maintain its laws unhindered by distant majorities. During the Middle Ages, towns and small villages were often wholly autonomous. Peasants could travel to like-minded groups and live peacefully without politics, elections, fighting, etc. People willingly separated based on ethnicity, religion, politics, economics, and much else. It was the opposite of modern coercion and government force. It allowed people to live as they wished because that was the priority, not those in power.
Medieval DecentralizationReaders of Defending Dixie’s Land will notice chapter 11 is entirely of similarities between Old Dixie and Medieval Europe. The Old South was a Protestant version of Christendom that existed between 700-1300 A.D. Culture, politics, religion, etc., were extremely uniform with the Middle Ages. As I show in my recently released book, Missing Monarchy: What Americans Get Wrong About Monarchy, Democracy, Feudalism, And Liberty, the South did not invent the idea of self-governance or decentralization; they were carrying on a political system that predated the Declaration of Independence.
When obedience is required, such as under the modern state or ancient Rome, the people suffer. The opposite occurs in a free society. Historically the more tribal, the more close-knit the families, the more self-governing and resistant to outside governmental authority. Centralized governments pull these bonds apart, preferring obedience to the state.
Even though someone might be a king of a vast realm during the Middle Ages, he may not have influenced the entire area he was “king” of. For example, Northern Italy consisted of several autonomous cities and duchies; their “king” ruled a minimal area around the Po valley. Likewise, the well-known and mighty Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa controlled only within his family lands in Swabia. The rest of the empire was governed as autonomous realms. Professor Philip Daileader described the Holy Roman Empire in 1273 as a “loose confederation of hundreds of very tiny units, principalities, city-states, and bishoprics.” Historian Will Durant described the same when he wrote, “No German nation existed yet; there were only Saxons, Swabians, Bavarians, Franks… no one system of laws governed the realm… each region kept its own customs and Code.”
Even under Charlemagne, the most prominent early medieval example of a pre-Renaissance monarch, power was limited, and historians Tierney and Painter wrote, “all the different people of the empire continued to live according to their own native laws. Charlemagne had no intention of abolishing this diversity,” and there was “virtually no public taxation, and Charlemagne depended for revenue on the proceeds of his own land.”[2] A contemporary of Charlemagne was Einhard, who wrote a biography of the emperor. In it, he describes the power of the later Merovingian kings of the Franks:
“The Merovingian family…had long since been devoid of vital strength, and conspicuous only from bearing the empty epithet Royal…There was nothing left the King to do but to be content with his name of King…He had nothing that he could call his own beyond this vain title of King…except a single country seat, that brought him but a very small income. There was a dwelling house upon this, and a small number of servants attached to it, sufficient to perform the necessary offices. When he had to go abroad, he used to ride in a cart, drawn by a yoke of oxen driven, peasant-fashion, by a Ploughman.”
Towns, manors, monasteries, isolated villages, and great dukedoms across feudal Europe were typically autonomous. In 800 A.D., Ireland was made up of perhaps 150 separate kingdoms. At the same date, sparsely populated Norway was divided into 31 principalities. By 1200 A.D., there were 200 autonomous city-states in Northern Italy. In the 14th century, Germany was made up of 600 autonomous realms. According to Will Durant, Spain was broken down into tiny realms of petty kings, but “even within each little kingdom unity was an interlude; the nobles almost ignored the kings except in war.” Monasteries were close-knit autonomous communities lovingly dedicated to man and God. Many areas became autonomous or nearly autonomous by gift giving. Nobles would give large sections of land free or nearly free of obligations to family and friends.
Lords controlled within their own spheres, as did dukes, princes, barons etc., and held autonomy. Each realm had its own laws and courts, and the local village conducted affairs with no control from the King’s capital or a higher lord’s influence. Historian Régine Pernoud wrote decentralization provided “variety between one town and another and gave a charming and attractive aspect to the country…each town possessed to a degree which is to-day almost unimaginable, its own personality.” Historian Chris Wickham described the medieval situation as the “radical decentralization of political power in the west.” With decentralized lordship, each local residency maintained its customs and law with no outside force imposing its will. In the thirteenth century, Beaumanoir remarked “each Baron is sovereign in his own Barony.” The people might recognize the king and even honor him, but outside of his family’s inheritance, he could not control anything in those areas. A decentralized kingship should be understood as an aristocracy of sovereign lords rather than a monarchy. Both ancient Roman and modern governmental systems have destroyed such political diversity.
There was incredible diversity in this age. Even in this anarcho-monarchist world, communists might find the monasteries to their liking. The monks elected the abbots, and everyone, whether noble or serf, was treated with perfect equality because “we are all one in Christ…God is no respecter of persons.” They held no possessions but shared everything as a community.
Diversity of laws existed within a single realm, dukedom, or town. The 9th-century bishop Agobard of Lyons said, “It often happened that five men were presented sitting together, and not one of them had the same law as another.” Unless, of course, they desired to change the law they were under, which at times made things complicated for judges. As Professor Thomas Madden said, “As people came before courts or before judges they would have to declare which they were and what law they lived under.” Powerful guilds were often self-governing societies within these towns as well.
At various times and places in England, both the Vikings and the Anglo-Saxons lived together in peace. They co-existed, but they never considered forcing their customs on the other. Frederic Seebohm writes, “The amalgamation of the two people into one did not occur. Danes continued to live under their laws and the English under theirs.” At various times, and out of their own free will, even Danes accepted English lords. Law was personal and based on choice. It was individualistic, not nationalistic—not our modern sense of top-down subjugation where “citizens” of a geographical area are forced to accept a ruler’s arbitrary authority; they brought their law with them.[3]
Contrary to popular opinion, the Jewish quarters of medieval towns were not an early form of segregation. Rather it derived from various kings and lords advertising to Jews they allotted them an area where they could enjoy self-government under their own religion and customs. Jews migrated to those areas to achieve it. What was an example of tolerance and friendship—the allowing of a minority group to live as they would like to—has somehow turned into a discriminatory, racist activity. (I would love to see Democrats and Republicans show this sort of tolerance to minorities like libertarians- monarchists- or even each other).
Likewise, in the Crusader states, Italian merchants were given a section of the city to live by their own customs. The Anglo-Saxons had their own section in Rome for the many visitors from England. Even in the crusader states, Muslims swore oaths on the Koran, Jews on the Torah, and Christians on the Bible. After capturing Antioch, Crusader lord Bohemund allowed local Muslims who wished to convert to follow a newly baptized Emir, while the others stayed under the laws of the “Saracens.” Scholar Jonathan Riley-Smith wrote, “Far from being forced to convert, the Muslim villagers were run by a council of elders who in turn appointed a “rayse” to represent the community to the Christian lord, while all spiritual and social matters were regulated by the imams in the community in accordance with Sharia law! The Christian rulers might believe Islam is wrong, endangering their eternal salvation, yet still believed Muslims had the right to be judged by their own customs.
These principles generally did not change during wartime, as even the cost of losing a war was very mild politically. It could be the extraction of an oath or a single payment, the loss of a town, or the ability to collect a toll from the lord who lost. But the population generally carried on life and obligations as they did before the conflict. Even when a lord conquered a new territory and its defeated people, Morrall writes they “generally made no attempt to impose a uniform legal code on their new territories. The maxim that every man must be judged by the law of his own people was strictly observed; what was more, he carried with him, wherever he went, the right to live under his own law.”
In my town (population around 500), there was a debate over whether to build a shed to store salt for the truck crews. This issue stirred up strong emotions and opinions on both sides. One side argued, multiple times, if the town did not build a new shed, it might be punished by the state for violating regulations. While the residents debated what they viewed as the vital issue—whether to build the shed—I could not help but see a far more critical matter. Can the town not build a shed paid for by their own taxpayers without being intimidated by politicians not close to the decision? We have lost our self-governance to more powerful distant individuals who never step foot in our town. If we were to abolish the political oppression of centralization; if we were to emancipate ourselves from tyranny; we could have thousands of tiny self-governing communities as our forebears enjoyed. If we abolished centralized governance, so much anger and hatred towards each other would disappear. People could live with like-minded people governed as they desire. All of “we the people” would benefit. The ones who would suffer would be bureaucrats and our overlords in D.C. If we were a Christian society loving others as we love ourselves, we would not make them suffer under a political system they did not ask for and do not desire.

It was an event decades in the making, but it finally happened. The African National Congress (ANC), the ruling party in South Africa since the fall of apartheid, finally lost their majority. Votes are still being counted, so it is unclear just how many seats the ANC will have, but it is clear that they will be forced into a coalition government with one of the three major opposition parties. Depending on which party the ANC forms a coalition with will determine the path of the country for at least the next five years, but I fear all this will do is, at best, hold off an all-out slaughter of the remaining Whites. At worst, we could be looking at a genocide in the coming months. All this in a country that, a century ago, looked poised to become a White-majority nation.
First, I believe it is necessary to understand why the ANC can no longer maintain a majority. South Africa has a major problem with corruption and mismanagement – these are long-term trends that have only gotten worse since 2009. Unemployment, especially youth unemployment, is very severe and the country can no longer maintain its power system, resulting in rolling blackouts. All this is leading to the breakup of the compromise that was put in place after the fall of apartheid. By the time apartheid ended, the Soviet Union had collapsed, meaning Nelson Mandela could no longer depend on Soviet aid like he could a decade earlier. Now, the “global community” never cared about the fate of South African Whites, but they did care about their own investments. What this meant is that South Africa, unlike Zimbabwe, could not opt for simply confiscating White owned property. Again, it was not that the global community would have been intrinsically opposed to this, but if the South African government did it this time, there could be no guarantee that they would not do it to properties owned by foreign corporations. Understanding this, wealthy South African Whites offered Mandela a deal – we will consent to the end of apartheid as long as you agree to, more or less, leave our wealth in place. It was a move that threw poor and middle-class South African Whites under the bus, but it did allow the wealthy to maintain their status. There has been violence aimed at Whites, especially rural Whites, but it has not been as large scale as it could have been.
This is all important because South Africa is, demographically speaking, a very young country. A very sizable portion of its voters are too young to remember apartheid and, as such, do not feel the gratitude towards the ANC that the older voters did. They are unwilling to adhere to the compromise struck at the end of apartheid and wish to take open revenge on Whites. Thus, the ANC is stuck – it can no longer ignore the massive problems the country is facing, and a growing portion of its voters see them as an enemy that made a deal with the “White devils.” Sooner or later, these voters will have to be appeased – either the ANC will do it, or they will be taken over by a new, more radical and openly pro-White genocide party and they will do it. And when that day comes, it will become even worse for the remaining Whites.
Currently, there are three major opposition parties in South Africa: Democratic Alliance (DA), uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK), and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). The ANC will only need one of these parties to form a government. The implications of each alliance will be discussed.
Democratic AllianceThe Democratic Alliance (DA) is part of the more moderate elements of the White minority. The old National Party they are not and they, more or less, favor the 1994 compromise, although with less corruption. Forming an alliance with the DA would spook foreign investment far less than the other two options, but it is also risky. The ANC has been losing its support to even more overtly anti-White parties, so an alliance with the DA, as moderate as they are, will likely cost them even more support from their black core. It may form a stable enough government to keep South Africa functioning for a few more years, but in the long-term it would mean an even greater growing animosity towards Whites and the blacks willing to compromise with them. Eventually, the ANC would be forced to throw their allies under the bus to keep power, which they are fully willing to do.
uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK)What must be first understood about the MK is this – they are the party of former South African president Jacob Zuma, a former member of the ANC who was expelled from the party in 2024. As such, MK primarily exists as a vehicle for his supporters to get revenge on the ANC. Primarily, Zuma is seeking a presidential pardon (he’s under investigation for rampant corruption) along with some home rule concessions to the Zulu-majority areas. And while that may look like an easy fix on the surface, in reality, if he is granted his pardon and home rule there is no way to tell what he might demand next. At the very least, it would end MK’s reason for existing, and those voters are not going to the ANC and they certainly are not going to DA. That only leaves the more radical anti-White parties to benefit in the long run.
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF)Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) represents the most radical anti-White elements of South African politics. Made up almost exclusively of angry, young black men with limited economic prospects, the EFF proposes a simple solution to their woes – take White owned land. Such a proposal would lead to almost immediate disaster, as it did in Rhodesia. Farming is a skill, and it is something that EFF’s base of unskilled workers do not possess. A major famine is in the cards, too. It would also be viewed as a clear example from the business community that the South African government is no longer a trustworthy investment.
Whatever the ANC might do is unimportant. The long-term trends all favor EFF. South Africa is not getting any new voters that can remember apartheid, and the horrible economy means the number of angry voters of limited economic prospects will only grow more. The EFF will eventually take power, or the ANC will be forced to take on EFF’s platform to stay in power. Either way, it spells disaster for White South Africans.
The best-case scenario is that the ANC will make a coalition with one of the two major opposition parties, hopefully DA (buying some time). After that, the Dissident Right must work overtime to bring what is coming into the mainstream. Meme it until the likes of Matt Walsh notices. Meme it until your aunt brings it up during Thanksgiving supper. Force the issue of taking in White South African refugees into the mainstream. Make normies wonder why the “refugees welcome” crowd doesn’t want these refugees. Make our enemies say: “Yes, we do think Whites deserve to be murdered for something that happened decades ago.” Even better, make the idea of an independent White homeland in South Africa a mainstream issue and get the secession ball rolling.
An event decades in the making is here now, roll up your sleeves and turn it into our advantage.

Andersonville was created in February 1864 and was used until April 1865 as a prison camp for Union prisoners of war. It covered an area of about 26.5 acres. During the course of the war, about 45,000 prisoners were received at Andersonville. Of this number, about 13,000 died. Poor diets, dysentery, and typhoid fever were the major causes of death.
The anti-Confederates love to blather about how bad it was at Andersonville, the infamous prisoner of war camp in Georgia, but they are deathly quiet about Camp Douglas, a Yankee prisoner of war camp in Chicago. Confederate Captain Henry Wirz was tried, convicted, and executed for war crimes after the war due to the uncontrollable conditions at Andersonville. Was Wirz to blame for the lack of food and medicine available to the prisoners? The facts are much different than what many so-called “historians” have told us.
Edward Wellington Boate was a soldier in the 42nd New York Infantry and a prisoner at Andersonville in 1864. He wrote of his experiences in the New York Times shortly after the war and commented on whom he held responsible for Andersonville’s legacy.
“You rulers who make the charge that the rebels intentionally killed off our men, when I can honestly swear they were doing everything in their power to sustain us, do not lay this flattering unction to your souls. You abandoned your brave men in the hour of their cruelest need. They fought for the Union and you reached no hand out to save the old faithful, loyal and devoted servants of the country. You may try to shift the blame from your own shoulders, but posterity will saddle the responsibility where it justly belongs.”
Gen. Grant’s Refusal for Prisoner ExchangeLincoln’s blockade of Southern ports kept much needed medicines, known as contraband, from not only reaching the Confederate sick, but the Union prisoners of war as well. Confederate guards died at the same rate as the prisoners. In fact, Confederate guards were often given worse rations than the prisoners. Union General Ulysses S. Grant refused prisoner exchanges with the Confederacy. In an act of desperation, the Confederacy offered up prisoners with no exchange requested, but Grant refused, and therefore, sacrificed his own men. He had rather the prisoners be a burden to the South than have Confederate prisoners returned and once again take up arms against the North.
General Grant said, “If we hold these men caught they are no more than dead men. If we liberate them we will have to fight on until the whole South is exterminated.” General Grant wrote to General Butler on August 18, 1864, “It is hard on our men in Southern prisons not to exchange them, but it is humanity to those left in the ranks to fight our battles.“
The Yankee invaders ravaged the countryside, burning homes, crops, and farm implements, thereby depleting the food supply. While food was in short supply in the South, giving good reason for the malnourishment of the Union prisoners, what was the excuse for starving Confederate prisoners in Yankee prison camps, where food was plentiful? Let’s look at Camp Douglas, known as “Eighty Acres of Hell.”
Camp Douglas was located on the South Side of Chicago. We are told by Union Army records that 4,454 Confederate prisoners died there. The actual number is estimated at more than 5,600. According to the Sons of Confederate Veterans, 6,000 graves are in the cemetery there. In this Northern prison camp, prisoners were intentionally starved, and denied adequate clothing and heating as acts of punishment. The capacity of the prison was 6,000, but 12,000 were crammed into it. By early 1863, the rate of death was over 10 percent per month. Torture, including hanging men by their thumbs for hours, and “Riding Morgan’s Mule,” which consisted of sitting on a narrow and sharpened edge of a horizontal two-by-four suspended from four to twelve feet off the ground. Guards would hang buckets of dirt and rock from a prisoner’s feet to increase the pain.
The death rate for Union prisoners was 8.4 percent, while it was 11.9 percent for Confederate prisoners.
Official U.S. Policy on Confederate POWs
“Rebel prisoners in our hands are to be subjected to a treatment finding its parallels only in the conduct of savage tribes and resulting in the death of multitudes by the slow but designed process of starvation and by mortal diseases occasioned by insufficient and unhealthy food and wanton exposure of their persons to the inclemency of the weather.”
Preamble to the H.R. 97, passed by both Houses, January 1865
Captain Wirz was executed for conditions beyond his control, while the Yankees faced no charges for the intentional cruelty of Confederate prisoners.

I didn’t expect Civil War to be a good movie. I watched it because I wanted to see the full scene where the photographers found themselves somewhere in the South and were confronted by the guy from Breaking Bad about their species of American. To be honest, it’s the only part worth watching. It doesn’t disappoint too much, either. This is the best partial clip I could find:
I’ve never done anything illegal, and I’d never advocate for you to do anything illegal. However, please don’t spend money to see Civil War because it’s retarded. The villain in the clip is the Left’s wet dream of what we’d like to be doing, but there’s no explanation of who he’s fighting, or even why. That’s the premise of the entire movie.
Essentially, it’s white men fighting each other in various scenes for no discernible point, either in terms of ideology or why in a strategic sense, these would be suitable locations for pitched battle. There are a few blacks. For instance, the president is the guy from Parks and Recreation, but he’s executed by a black female commando after the shock troops of the “Western Alliance” fight their way into the Oval Office at the end. She also executes some black female agent who tries to negotiate safe passage for the president. The villain in the clip above is filling up a mass grave, but I only spotted one black body.
The alliance which takes DC consists of Texas and California (WTF?!!!). Of course, Charlottesville is mentioned, but as the frontline somehow while DC is about to fall. This is very shitlib thinking. Look at a map of this region, why not hold Staunton to the west out in the Valley in order dominate the juncture of Interstates 81 and 64?
In the context of modern warfare, the conflict in Ukraine has demonstrated that holding strategic points on favorable ground which has been fortified and manned with determined resistance can hold back a force with overwhelming firepower for years on end.
Why didn’t the federal forces make a stand at the Rockfish Gap Entrance for Shenandoah National Park at the top of Afton Mountain where 64 crosses down into the valley, providing the route over the mountains into the heart of Virginia, which would need to be held in order to launch an offensive on DC? The offensive of the Western Alliance would be coming from the west, right? Making a stand at Charlottesville would make no sense, while enfilade fire from the commanding heights of Afton Mountain could turn the stretch of 64 down in the valley into a highway of death.
Both the north/south corridors from 81 and 95 would have to be under control in order to invest this cursed capital. Or, maybe they’d just strike through West Virginia and Maryland using 270 as their connection for an operation to subdue the Beltway, thereby providing the federal forces with multiple venues for attacking the besiegers from behind in order to relieve DC? But still, why would Charlottesville so much further to the south be of any importance? If you try to do some armchair Erwin Rommel, the retardation of the plot is staggering.
This aside, America is only in a state of sporadic mayhem and blacks are participating in virtually none of this mayhem? Where are they? Hunkered down at home playing Scrabble? There are lot of blacks virtually everywhere in proximity of DC, not to mention inside the city itself. Did they all become Quakers and refuse to participate in the hostilities? When have they ever turned down an opportunity to loot a place to the bone (by “bone”, I mean books, sunblock, and greeting cards)?
Anyways, how does America break into a state of civil war along some sort of distinct geography? The fault lines in this country are all deliberately racial. Moreover, in terms of ZOG and global sodomy, none of its white servants have the courage of their convictions. Those who provide the military muscle are doing so ostensibly for Uncle Sam but there’s also the pension and the paycheck. In this movie, the dollar is basically worthless, only Canadian money counts.
Without the fake rationales and financial incentives, nobody is going to fight for any of the evils we rail against at this publication. Antifa is a bunch of drug addled lunatics who are paid and protected to attack peaceful demonstrators. They’re not going to fight against soldiers who can shoot them dead in a war over ideology. So, why would any white men be fighting each other in this scenario? Was DC softened up by volunteer Anal Assault Battalions, raised in San Francisco and Austin, before the commandos went in for the coup de grace?
How are fragile networks for just-in-time logistics functioning? It would be great to have a ample supply of booze and cigarettes like the Brazilian photographer does in the movie, but come on. The food part is where everything would come undone. Nobody’d be able to organize beyond raiding parties probably, and mostly on foot. How are these warring factions sustaining complex mechanical warfare on a military industrial base scattered all over America thanks to bribing congressmen? Is there even a single munition in the American arsenal manufactured entirely in one locale?
During the coming collapse, I’d love to be out there on the road stopping cosmopolitan assholes who think they can take photos and ask what kind of Americans they are, and just ask, of course… but I’m too cynical to have ever once considered this scenario. The mind of a libtard is something to behold, so I guess that’s what this movie has going for it.

As advocates for the truth, we’ve got certain rhetorical factors working in our favor. One is the absurdity of the narratives, and the second is that these narratives are the best that servants of our evil system can employ in an attempt to placate public opinion. Moreover, it’s a task that eventually becomes impossible since this system abuses and exploits the public. By design, it produces bad results which keep getting worse.
For instance, the aviation industry is the opening stages of a safety crisis fueled by a combination of DEI policies and demographic decline. This is alarming and unprecedented.

What’s the solution? Trot out the furtive sodomite, who kidnapped twin newborn boys, to blame it on climate change. Apparently, around 50% of Americans believe that we’re all going to die as a result of climate change. That seems pretty high to me and sounds like more narrative propaganda, but far less than 50% of Americans could even label 25 of our 50 states on a blank map. So, maybe yeah. That would still leave half the country, though.

Skeptical Americans comprehend that the weather has been having adverse effects on human populations since as far back as these can be documented. Many are old enough to remember that the hoax began as global warming but then the polar icecaps didn’t melt, so it was switched to climate change. The new term can be applied to any weather condition, which is quite obvious.
This narrative would be more effective if it could be controlled so that only experts would be weighing in on things that the average person doesn’t understand, like the chemical composition of the atmosphere. The opacity would provide an element of plausibility.
Instead, everybody offers their two cents to boost the narrative. That’s how these outrageous narratives work and thus why they haven’t succeeded. Having idiots and self-righteous monsters harangue skeptics didn’t work with the COVID injections. A similar dynamic is at play with climate change.

The animus of the climate change narrative, just like all of the other narratives, is blatantly against white people, and white men in particular. The issue it runs into is that this is the segment of the American population most adept at various technical and scientific matters while also being capable of grasping that financial issues, such as rampant inflation, aren’t driven by climate change.
It’s also clear we’re being propagandized not to reproduce because we’re causing climate change while the West is flooded with dangerous, unproductive refuse under the pretext we’re not reproducing enough. Across the West, significant majorities of national populations want this flooding to stop to some degree with many desiring a complete halt. Nothing any politician says, except for promising to stop the flood, pleases these majorities but that’s not part of the narrative.

This system finds itself confronted with an inability to address existential problems. In fact, it causes these problems that disconcert Americans. If not by narrative, how are they going to be placated? During COVID, everyone was getting free money and exemptions from paying for things like rent. This option isn’t on the table anymore, supposedly due to inflation caused by climate change. Quality of life continues to decline as the problems escalate.
In other words, as the situation deteriorates its servants can only turn up the bullshit. That’s not a sustainable dynamic. Although, like I pointed out already, it at least makes pointing out the truth easier. While I sip my coffee in the mornings, I come across so much official absurdity that it’s tough to feel inspiration for lampooning it anymore.
The post Mollify ‘Murica? appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Over the past several months, and especially since she was fired by Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens has been on a bit of a crusade, posting about some of the most taboo subjects on the Right – namely what happened to Dresden during World War II and how few Russians led the “Russian” Revolution. In her tweets on these subjects, she explicitly called the actions of the Soviets a “Christian Genocide.” This is a term that I have seen some on the Authentic Right take umbrage with, as it shifts the emphasis to religion when they see it as a matter of race. So, instead of a “Christian Genocide,” we really have a “White Genocide.” And while I do understand their basic point, our enemies have targeted all White nations for extermination, from Christian Dixie to secular Sweeden – I do think the term “Christian Genocide” is more accurate as it more deeply cuts into the heart of the matter. Before I begin with my reasoning, I want to make a few points:
To understand why I think “Christian Genocide” is a more accurate term than “White Genocide,” we have to understand why the Jews hate the White race. It is not for some random, unknown reason and it is not because the Romans expelled them from Palestine. They hate the White race because they first hated Christianity, and before that, Christ. Our Lord explicitly said this would happen: “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” (John 15:18)
Jews are unlike the Chinese or Indians; in that they have in their hearts a longing for a Messiah – something I think God placed there to prepare them for the coming of Christ. But when the Messiah came, the Jewish nation split. A minority accepted Christ and became the early Church. However, the majority rejected Him and became the religion we now call “Judaism.” The “Judaism” of Moses, Ellijah, and King David no longer exists. Yet that longing for the Messiah remained, but as with the majority at the time of Our Lord’s earthly ministry, they were searching for an earthly, political salvation. They were looking to save the world by the efforts of men, a search that would, over the centuries, eventually lead to Marxism.
With this search for secular salvation also came a hatred of Christianity. They picked Barabbas. They asked that the Lord’s blood be on them and on their children. And because Europe and its diaspora has been responsible for more missionary activity than anywhere else on earth, this led to a hatred of the White race. Had history turned out differently and Asia, rather than Europe, led the missionary efforts to evangelize the world, they would hate Asians with an equal ferocity that they hate Europeans. This is why they have worked so hard to make Christmas a secular holiday. This is why they have worked to remove the symbols of the Christian West from the public sphere. Yes, they have worked to remove the Traditional West, but all of this goes back to their anti-Christian mindset. They hate Christ. The Talmud contains unspeakable blasphemies depicting Our Lady as a whore and declaring that Our Lord is boiling in feces. Remember that before they hated you, they hated Christ first.
By understanding the roots of their hatred of the White race, we can better address the problem. It is true that the victims of the gulags and Dresden were killed for being White, but on a deeper level, it is because they were Christians. It really was a Christian Genocide.

Actual pandemics among humans occur in conjunction with malnutrition or a lack of modern sanitation and hygiene, but usually both. COVID wasn’t a pandemic. Simply classifying nearly everyone who died as dying of COVID didn’t constitute proof of a pandemic. It did, however, prove some unnerving concepts.
First, that Western politicians will carry out any task assigned without mercy, regard to human life, or even the consequences that might later accrue to them personally as a result of their actions. Second, that at least half of the population lacks the ability to think for itself.
In other words, they’ll believe something that doesn’t make any sense if it’s disseminated to them by an expert or authority figure. Others will accept absurdity if it’s marketed to them as what the moral and intelligent people have concluded because this is what they want to feel about themselves.

Now that COVID has been exposed as a fraud, and the vaccines turned out to be totally ineffective and actually quite dangerous, none of us who refused and tried to warn others against getting injections are any more credible with these segments of the population than we were before it started. Nobody who was full of self-righteousness about forcing these injections on us is feeling introspection or remorse, either. They’ve just moved on and stopped talking about it.
This ability to simply move on and not apply information from the past to inform your present decision-making process clearly goes in conjunction with an inability to think for oneself. We see this everywhere, from the polar ice caps that should’ve already melted to all of the military victories that were supposed to be achieved but turned into spectacular debacles. In terms of assessing what’s going right now, it’s as if none of this ever happened for the types of people I’ve described above.
The other issue is the lack of accountability for anyone responsible. I was cynical enough to understand that one right from the start. Please don’t get your hopes up that Republicans in Congress are going to hold anyone accountable for anything. I’ve long ago surmised that their accountability will be delivered in the form of flames as they burn in hell for eternity.

In fact, the culprits are moving forward with a pandemic treaty. From the Better World Campaign:
In the wake of some of the hardest months of the COVID-19 pandemic, all 194 countries that comprise WHO convened the second-ever “special session” of the World Health Assembly. Their December 2021 gathering aimed to explore how WHO could best enshrine lessons learned from the pandemic to advance smart policy and sound prevention measures.
As a result of the meeting, participating countries unanimously agreed to establish an International Negotiating Body (INB) to pursue development of a new international agreement to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.
In other words, the experts and respectable leaders who turned out to be dead wrong are applying all of the lessons they didn’t learn from COVID to codify a new instrument of dystopia. If you find this disconcerting, that’s because of misinformation and conspiratorial claims. Here they are debunked:
CLAIM: An accord will give WHO total authority in future public health emergencies, including allowing WHO to establish vaccine passports, regulate travel, require lockdowns, infringe on civil liberties, and interfere on matters of national sovereignty.
FACT: Members of WHO are sovereign countries, and participation in any instrument is voluntary. The terms of an agreement will be decided by those countries through a long, collaborative negotiation process, not by WHO.
CLAIM: WHO is seeking “police power” to enforce the terms of any new pandemic instrument.
FACT: Any notion of a WHO-led force to ensure compliance would fall outside of the scope of the organization’s mandate and constitution.
The WHO is a coordination mechanism, it doesn’t have the apparatus to take any of these actions against the population. So, it’s debunked in the sense that the WHO wouldn’t be doing any of this stuff to us. Governments would be doing it, just like last time. The difference is that all of the governments would be taking uniform actions against their populations and that travel would be restricted based on a global plan rather than whatever country the traveler was trying to enter like last time.
Americans tended to have it easier than other locations where people were placed on house arrest and put into gulags. I was thrown into a gulag on a foreign military base whereas, once I got back to the United States, the CDC merely sent me a text message suggesting I quarantine myself at home. I didn’t follow this suggestion or any of its other suggestions.
So probably, the federal government wants to take more forceful actions against us the next time around and they want to be able to say that it’s because of international protocols instead of things being different in every state. It’s a big challenge to lock people down in one area and telling them it’s for their own good while they can see that people are free in another area and not dropping like flies.
Please bear in mind that these are the same experts and respectable leaders who did this to us the last time around and keep harping about bovine flatulence melting the polar ice caps. Don’t put anything past them because it’s too stupid or insane. They’ve established quite an excellent track record for this sort of thing.
Moreover, much of this document seems to be about controlling information and climate change with the justification that these are threats to public health. The fact that people could form their own opinions during COVID and didn’t trust the authorities had them about to blow a gasket during COVID. So, if they’re going to pull off another pandemic, that can’t be allowed this time around.

If we’ve learned anything since 2019, it’s that when these experts and respectable leaders have to come out at say they’re not going to do something, this is because they’re going to do it. Biden said nobody would be forced to take the vaccine and then forced anyone who wanted to keep their federal job or job at a company that did business with the federal government to take it. When they then feel compelled to say that they’re not going to strip us of our freedom and human rights, this is exactly what they intend to do.
They also don’t learn from their mistakes. If they learned from COVID, they’d understand that there’s a significant percentage of the population which is never going to allow itself to be injected. That percentage would be even bigger if they try it again. It doesn’t matter what nonsense you try to feed us or what threats are made. However, they keep saying another pandemic is going to happen.

This has been part of the narrative from the start. Nobody was saying that COVID was a unique event or that we’d only have to get two injections. It was always that this was going to become a regular thing and so would the injections.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if this next pandemic coincides with economic and financial turmoil from the U.S. dollar, Trump losing another rigged election and being sent to prison, and Russia’s defeat of the entire U.S. global apparatus in Ukraine. Plenty of unpleasantries are on the horizon for which another pandemic would be useful to the Rules-Based International Order.
That being said, it’d be a really bad idea to try and do one again after COVID failed so thoroughly but this might not be a part of the calculus. In the past, we were told what was going to happen beforehand under the pretense that it was merely a possibility rather than something that would happen as a result of deliberate actions.
A global pandemic exercise dubbed Event 201 was staged right before COVID, so if they’re saying another pandemic is inevitable while passing a pandemic treaty and preparing vaccines for a bird flu pandemic that hasn’t happened, I’d say things aren’t looking very good. They’re not going to just leave us alone, that’s for sure.
The post Round Two? appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Toward the end of Dante’s Inferno, there is a dreadful place called COCYTUS.
This is the final level of hell.
It is a miserable place, and one that Dante can only come to after travelling through all of hell that precedes it.
The path Dante must take to reach the lowest level of hell, found deep inside the Earth.As you read Dante’s Inferno, you come to understand (through human reason and divine guidance) the pathway to hell (sin).
One thing about the book that I have always found immensely interesting is Dante’s placement of specific sins within hell. It is not like how we would understand sin in the modern day. We would likely choose radically different levels of hell than Dante did.
But this placement provides clues to the mindset of our ancestral Europeans for that timeframe in history.
That timeframe was, of course, nearing the height of Christendom itself.
It is worth us knowing these details to know our heritage. And, as you will see, how far our mindset has drifted from that (better) tradition.
I could write an entire book about this subject. To keep this article short enough that it will actually be read, let’s narrow our topic of interest to the lowest level of hell. Who goes there and why?
Dante begins his journey into hell.The first groups you meet in COCYTUS (circle nine, Canto XXXII) are those that have committed what Dante calls “compound fraud”.
John Ciardi (without hesitation my favorite translator of Dante’s Inferno into English, do not bother with anyone else) explains what this means (emphasis my own):
At the bottom of the well Dante finds himself on a huge frozen lake. This is COCYTUS, the NINTH CIRCLE, the fourth and last great water of Hell, and here, fixed in the ice, each according to his guilt, are punished sinners guilty of TREACHERY AGAINST THOSE TO WHOM THEY WERE BOUND BY SPECIAL TIES. The ice is divided into four concentric rings marked only by the different positions of the damned within the ice.
This is Dante’s symbolic equivalent of the final guilt. The treacheries of these souls were denials of love (which is God) and of all human warmth. […] As they denied God’s love, so are they furthest removed from the light and warmth of His Sun. As they denied all human ties, so are they bound only by the unyielding ice.
In the first of four rounds (Caïna), you meet those treacherous to Kin. It is named for Cain, who killed his blood brother Abel.
Dante and Virgil reviewing the punishment of the ninth circle of hell, Caïna and Antenora. Canto XXXII.Further down in round two of that same level, we meet those Treacherous to Country (in Antenora).
You only have two other rounds (3. Ptolomea and 4. Judecca – Treachery to Masters, wherein Judas Iscariot lies), and then you arrive at the center of the ice, which is Satan himself.
Antenora is explained by Ciardi as follows:
The second round is ANTENORA, named for Antenor, the Trojan who was believed to have betrayed his city to the Greeks. Here lie those guilty of TREACHERY TO COUNTRY. They too, have their heads above the ice, but they cannot bend their necks, which are gripped by the ice. Here Dante accidentally kicks the head of BOCCA DEGLI ABBATI and then proceeds to treat him with a savagery he has shown to no other soul in Hell.
Dante and Virgil talk with a damned soul in ANTENORA sentenced to compound fraud for betraying his nation. Canto XXXIII.Pause for a second and contemplate that hierarchy.
Dante placed those who betray their own family in better conditions than whose who betray their own “country” (which, in Dante’s concept, is more accurately defined as “nation” or “blood people—kin”).
It was even worse to be treacherous to your nation than your own family. All other sins paled in comparison, aside from the latter two rounds (of similar treachery) that I mentioned above. Every other sin was punished less.
Many of us may not necessarily ascribe to Dante’s theological beliefs. I’m not a medieval Catholic, so I don’t. But there’s much to be said about his organization of the levels of hell. Especially regarding the overall trend of Western Civilization.
It’s a clue for why Western Civilization was so strong and why it is now so weak.
We noticed here that Dante put those who are traitors to King and Country in the lowest possible level of hell. National traitors are even lower than the corrupt popes, the thieves, the wrathful, lustful, and sodomites. Even religious false prophets like Muhammed only make it to the eighth circle of hell!
But those that betray their country or Kin? The ninth circle of hell. Near Satan himself.
This was not a mistake. This was intentional. Because Dante recognized the damage that is done to entire nations by those who are a part of them, but act treacherously toward them. They lead others into the other sins through the destruction of the nation. They destroy Christendom, which is Christ’s kingdom on Earth. The punishment matches the crime.
This goes to show you the medieval conception of how important kin, ethnically similar people, and the idea of a nation-state were.
Christendom did not have modernity’s perversion of a country or nation. The nation-state was not some economic zone. Neither was it some general free-for-all where any person could just immigrate and join.
There were blood ties, and these were incredibly important. To fail to live up to them could end up with you in the literal lowest circle of hell.
The people, all unique peoples, were united by blood. And to betray it was to relegate your soul to the same level as Satan himself.
This was traditional nationalism. The concept that many modern “Christians” now balk against in their acquiescence to what is culturally and wordly expedient. But the truth is that every educated Christian is a Christian Nationalist, because that is what God commands us to be. We have two thousand years of Christian history to back that up. The Christian Globalists only have one hundred years of modernity’s lies.
The center of the Ninth Circle COCYTUS is Satan himself, encased in Ice. Those sentenced to the ninth circle share the same ice as Satan.You want to know why Western Civilization was so strong? It is because of this mindset right here. We had the tools built into us to survive and thrive.
You can see it through the blood loyalty that Dante shows so clearly and so strongly through his organization of who goes where in hell.
What a powerful testimony to our true Christian European heritage.
Dante would put those who betray our people so harshly in the modern era next to Satan himself in hell.
Even most dissidents don’t share the same level of contempt for our TRAITORS TO COUNTRY. But we should. That’s how we invigorate our true heritage back into us.
Dante is not the only one that gives us a hint at what true blood unity used to look like throughout history. It is evident in many of the great literary works of Christendom. I just cannot think of a classical literature that shows it more plainly than Dante’s inferno.
This unity was stripped from us. Mostly due to the enlightenment. But certainly other factors had their place as well.
So, what do we do with this information?
Read the Bible. Stop having others tell you about it. Read the real history of Christendom. Stop having others teach you about it. Read Dante’s Comedia and other literary works to understand the mindset of our people throughout history.
If you do this, you will quickly recognize that they all are nothing like how modernity portrays any of them. We live in a wicked, corrupted age. The only way you can find the truth is to seek it yourself.
Through this, you will see that Western Civilization was never as weak as it is now.
In fact, it was incredibly strong, which is why we dominated for so many centuries.
Weakness, fragility, tolerance, and the betrayal of our own people because “we’re all human!11!” is a new modern concept. This was never allowed to exist during the Age of Christendom. It only came about from the Age of Lies.
Throughout our history, we had national unity. And we can have it again.
But we must return to the only thing that can truly preserve it, which is our heritage mindset and Christianity. The strong-willed kind that Dante understood.
Because it is only this belief that understands the importance of blood ties. We must love our neighbors, and Dante shows us the importance of blood in that neighborly calculation.
I encourage all of my readers to adopt the mindset of Dante in this case. When you think of those who betray their kin and their country, you should imagine them going to the ninth circle of hell. To be near Satan himself.
A just punishment for the crime committed.
If Western Civilization is to survive, we have to bring back the love of nation and embed it into the minds of our people once again.
The post Dante’s Inferno: The Medieval Importance of Nation appeared first on Identity Dixie.
I have been asked this question, and here is what Merriam-Webster says:
“not reconciled to some political, economic, or social change
an unreconstructed rebel
also: holding stubbornly to a particular belief, view, place, or style
an unreconstructed hard-liner”
In the SCV, to be Unreconstructed is to live “The Charge,” as stated by Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, and to not conform to Yankee ideology and terminology. Did you call your noon meal today “lunch,” and your evening meal “dinner”? Then, you are reconstructed. Do you say the Pledge of Allegiance (written by a socialist) at every opportunity? Then, you are reconstructed.
As descendants of fine Confederate stock, we should resist with every fiber of our being the Yankee indoctrination which has “reconstructed” the vast majority of the South. If our Confederate ancestors could come back today and see how we act and what we say, would they be proud, or ashamed? They fought to prevent the very mess we are living in today, and where did that mess come from? Yankee invaders. Remember, the Yankees sought to remake us in their image. They called the Southerner “backward, uneducated rubes.” They brought their factories and industry into our South and did away with much of the agrarian life which was the way of life of so many of our ancestors. They changed the way Southerners talk, act, and think. They have taught generations of Southern children that their ancestors were traitors who “fought to preserve slavery.” The carpetbaggers came in and fleeced the South, stealing homes, farms, and land with their massive tax increases, causing many families to lose all they had at county auctions.
Why would you want to emulate such a detestable class of people? Don’t do it. Think about the sacrifices our Confederate ancestors made in defending their homes and families from the invading Empire of barbarian murderers. We should “hold stubbornly” to the beliefs and ways of our Confederate ancestors, our heritage, and our history, because they were right. Some of the resistance will come easily. Some of it will take some work. We all have to shuck off the indoctrination which has polluted our beautiful South for many decades. We need to put Unreconstructed people into our city councils and onto our school boards. Then, we will start to see things change for the better.
It won’t happen overnight, but if you make a conscious effort not to conform to the Yankee indoctrination, you can do it. Let us strive to be someone our Confederate ancestors would be proud of.
Now, it’s time for supper.

The post What is “Unreconstructed”? appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Personally, I understand a lot of things that happen in other people’s personal lives. What’s going on in their life might never have happened in my life, but I can intuit how circumstances lead to a particular course of action. As whatever is left of a society, I think we mostly tend to get these sorts of things.
For example, if a woman’s boyfriend is a crackhead and he’s behaving erratically while brandishing a loaded pistol. This tends to scare any woman, and most women don’t know much about firearms. So, if an upper class white woman confiscates her crackhead’s pistol while he’s passed out and tosses it in a public trash can, I can pretty much understand she did as best she could to diffuse the situation.

Most readers of this publication are proficient with firearms, technical aspects, safety protocols, and the various legal strictures. Many have themselves a redneck woman who knows these sorts of things too, or at least is unalarmed at the sight of a firearm. This isn’t a helpful context to grasp with what was going on with Hunter Biden.
What’s important for y’all to bear in mind is that upper class white people, women in particular, are often startled at the sight of a firearm. Just because it’s an unloaded, inanimate object doesn’t nullify the psychological impact. It sounds ridiculous, but let me assure you it’s a real phenomenon.
There’s a lot of stuff going on with Hunter Biden. Ukraine, the CIA, etc. The Russians are now accusing him of financing terrorism. I’m not really sure what to make out of all of it. He did like to party, though. Various women aren’t cheap, so I can understand this one as well.
I think his life would make for a good movie, maybe with Christian Bale starring as Hunter Biden. There’s plenty of great montages to make out of him high on crack, such as driving to Vegas at over 100mph. The montages are one of my favorite things about Stallone’s movies from back in the 80’s.

When he showed up to Congress for that bizarre hearing last year, a Republican congresswoman accused him of having “no balls.” Various women can attest that he does have balls, and this entire country has seen the photos at this point, whether we wanted to or not. His crack binges with various women are famous across the planet, actually.
As far as we know, he didn’t shoot anybody. For a country faced with an existential set of problems, this doesn’t seem like one to me. This is probably why the Republicans fixate on him, since they’re going to do nothing about anything dragging us beneath the toilet water.
People get shot every day in America, so it’s unclear to me why Hunter Biden matters in that context. He didn’t even shoot himself on accident, I’d say the man can handle a pistol. He’s nothing if not a survivor.
I think it’s time to add another face on Mount Rushmore. Some of the writers from the Identity Dixie crew know me quite well, and they’d all tell you how fond I am of black people. One of them sent me the tragic story above. He said to me, “Tom, I know how much you care about black people, and this might be pretty tough for you to handle, but I think you ought to check it out.“
It’s an awful story. The amount of potential this young man had really makes it sting. China and Russia are teaming up to build a lunar base powered by a nuclear reactor, so we’re really going to need young scholars like him to finish their studies if we’re going to remain relevant as a nation in a world defined by technological progress.
It would appear that when he put the gun to his head while telling his audience “fuck y’all n**s” he didn’t realize that the safety was off or maybe he put in an empty clip without realizing a round was chambered. I’m not sure what happened, but I found it extremely disconcerting.
His tragic demise seems to be part of a broader trend of blacks brandishing firearms while rapping and accidentally shooting themselves, friends, and family members live on the internet. They start young, too. A toddler executed his mother live on Zoom.
Black people often lead very colorful lives and have a wonderful sense of theatricality. That’s why they like to film themselves live on the internet. I wouldn’t characterize them as pacifists, but it’s quite perplexing how much wanton violence occurs when the combination of firearms, social media, and black people come together. Must be systemic racism, although it would probably require a woman of color with a PhD to come up with an exact diagnosis.
It’s like death stalks them, waiting for the silliest moment to strike. Don’t count on Republicans to figure out what’s getting all these promising young black people killed, they’re too busy fixating on Hunter Biden.
The post Rounds, to the head appeared first on Identity Dixie.
My dear brothers and sisters, as you make your way into the future, toward an independent Dixie, the greatest thing you must have is faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen. Our belief in a Free Dixie is not a wisp of wind nor an ember in the dark; it is not a hopeless dream of daydreamers, lost and without substance.
Rather, our faith in an independent South is a hurricane-level wind that could put a smile on the face of a true Floridian. For in the midst of such a downpour, Florida Man sees tangible evidence the aquifer that spans the great length of his state will be full of pure, clean water to sustain his people and his land into the future. And on those occasions when lightening strikes and the forest begins to burn – though the suffering is real – he knows the rage of the fire will cleanse and resurrect the land, making it more fruitful for his progeny.
So, how can you have the force of a hurricane? How can you have the cleansing effect of the fire? Well, you can start by being vocal, like the Fire-Eaters of old! And, in your voice, be unapologetic. For if you are timid when the wind and the fire of change is in our favor, it will be your failure, and all momentum will be lost.
For instance, in several conversations, with both people of influence and those of potential influence, I’ve pushed the argument that the Republican Party and its hold on our people must be destroyed. I’ve demanded with my words and tone that it is not, nor has it ever been, a benefit to our people, for it is the party of our conqueror, the Yankee party. And to my astonishment, their agreement was overwhelming. Had it just been this one conversation, you could dismiss it as Southern politeness. However, these talking points have made it into the mainstream. Even Tucker Carlson is speaking on how the Republican Party must be destroyed. Identity Dixie has been pushing that theme for nearly a decade, and now it’s in the wild.
While greeting the brethren after a Lord’s Day service, a young man standing with his beautiful wife dispiritedly said, “There has to be more than just paying bills and dying.” This sentiment is very similar to an old ID meme, and was recently translated into the opening line of a very popular song, “You weren’t born to just pay bills and die.” Of course, I agreed with the young man, and encouraged him to stop looking to Washington for answers, and to stop thinking of himself as anything other than a Southerner. With his wife looking on, and obviously engaged, I mentioned that his children deserve a better future than he was given. With both astonished by my boldness (but still engaged), I asked him, “What are going to do?” His honest and humble answer was that he would do what he could; to which I exhorted him to do just that, to the point of exhaustion.
Be the wind and the fire; be the storm and the rage. History is proceeding quicker than we could have ever imagined. Our enemies are on their heels, and are being attacked on multiple fronts. Come out of your daydream! Dream with your eyes wide open and your voice thundering!
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

As America circles the drain, I wish to be entertained. Honestly, I’d settle for something which injects enough fear, distaste, or morbid curiosity into my psyche to avoid going about my day with a general sense of resignation and indifference.
I’ve heard that hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way, but I grew up with the WWF, Waco, and eventually 9/11. I also have an appreciation for the horrific gravity of our situation, so some nonsense from 90’s trash TV is insufficient for my entertainment. This wouldn’t even have been good enough to make the 2PM slot back in 1997:

Yeah, this would’ve been woefully inadequate for decent episode of The Maury Povich Show where he’d bring on the Goyim to berate them as they’d trade insults with each other over paternity tests, and other various topics that plagued high society.
In those heady days, one could tune into a fine selection of shows such as Baywatch, Walker: Texas Ranger, Renegade, and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. If you had something to do with your life, you usually weren’t even home when the talk shows were on. Still, they were as hard to escape as CNN is today.
The only decent character from this tiresome legislative fray was the committee chairman from Kentucky, a Mr. Comer, who I’m assuming is just another hapless Republican. To be honest, I can’t even care enough to look up what the committee was doing exactly, but it was arguing about Donald Trump which then went into the sort of verbal combat you’d expect of a deranged Latina, a proud, intelligent black woman, and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Unlike Jamie Raskin, the who was grinning to his right, Comer had no inclination to foment an undignified spectacle whereas Raskin lit up just like his fellow Jew, Maury Povich, as soon as things popped off. In terms of the proceeding, Comer seemed to be trying to uphold an objective application of the legal process in a manner befitting the deportment of his forebears. This is such a tiresome Republican trope.

Yes, Raskin cares. Just like Povich cared about those deformed kids he brought on for freak shows. Comer’s best two quotes were “A what, now?” with a bewildered expression on his face and while shaking his gray head, “I have no idea what you just said” as these dynamic women traded barbs.
Greene prevailed by admonishing her two opponents to “calm down,” which is going to escalate any irate female. It’s worked for me every time, especially when I was genuinely trying to calm a female down. America’s dignity rots beneath dirt. There’s no victory to be scored over a corpse, so the glory belongs to Greene I suppose.
Women can’t be saved from themselves these days, but entertainment always used to feature men rescuing women from other men. This was something to which everyone could relate, since women feel independent until the second they’re scared or something goes wrong with their car. When you can relate to something, it resonates with you and thus adds to the entertainment value.
Indeed, the notion that women are as adept as men at public life proffers little distraction from the grind we all face in this shithole. We have the most diverse selection ever in Congress and all we got was the above vignette. How could that ever measure up to the righteous deeds of Rep. Preston Brooks? These independent women aren’t actually going to throw down. This is why women in Congress don’t entertain much better than the women in the remake of Ghostbusters.
“Will you take the Lord of Darkness as your master and your spouse?“Back to my point, the way women fit appropriately into entertainment is that there’s a male hero, a male villain, and a beautiful female this hero must save from the villain. For example, when the Undertaker abducted Stephanie McMahon in order to marry her.
It was a romantic gesture, in a medieval sort of way, but Stone Cold Steve Austin swooped in to save Stephanie despite his feud with her father. This is one of the last episodes of American chivalry I can recall. Perhaps she’d have had a better life as Mrs. Undertaker, we’ll never really know. It was pretty damn fun to watch, that’s for sure.
The other fundamental problem is that AOC was traumatized by trauma that never happened on the infamous Jan 6th insurrection. The fun which Undertaker would’ve had with Stephanie is strictly a matter of puerile speculation. In regards to AOC and the MAGA rapists who tried to overthrow our democracy, the matter is equally irrelevant. She remains traumatized, nonetheless.
How in the hell then, does anyone sell these congresswomen as Amazons fighting for what’s right? You can’t be fighting for anything while also traumatized by your fantasy that a man in a MAGA hat wanted to have his way with you. AOC’s proud, intelligent black woman ally claims she went into politics because she was the victim of a hate crime which can’t be substantiated in any way. It’s all so tiresome.
Their ringleader, Mr. Raskin, was also traumatized without his safety ever being threatened. So much so that he had to quiver before his fellow legislators to try and process this trauma. If this was a plot, it would be one of the worst plots ever written.
I’m a really optimistic, humanitarian gentleman but I have to admit I can’t see any upside to America these days. I feel so blasé about the entire spectacle.

Nearly everywhere you go on the internet, if you see “users” or “comments” engaging with one another, a significant chunk of it is 100% fake.
It is all being placed there to program you into believing a false narrative about what everyone else believes.
Here is one such example from Reddit (two different posts, two different time periods, two entirely similar comments sections) (right click -> view image for full-size):
All of those accounts are bots posting using Artificial Intelligence and programmed scripts. It is social engineering.
The same thing happens in most comment fields of mainstream news (even right-leaning ones like ZeroHedge or Epoch Times).
It even happens with Twitter (now X) accounts:
Top cybersecurity expert claims that more than 80 percent of Twitter accounts are probably bots
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Thursday went after Parag Agrawal-led platform once again, after a top cybersecurity expert claimed that as high as eight in 10 Twitter accounts are fake.
Dan Woods, Global Head of Intelligence at cybersecurity company F5, who spent more than 20 years with the US federal law enforcement and intelligence organisations, told The Australian that more than 80 per cent of Twitter accounts are probably bots — a massive claim as Twitter says only 5 per cent of its users are bots/spams.
It’s all fake and gay to manufacture consent from the masses.
I bet there are about nine fake accounts for every one real account online nowadays. Those nine accounts manufacture the likes/favorites and ratios of what goes to the top. Meaning that everything that becomes “popular” ends up there by the strategic decision of the elites. From Reddit to YouTube to your weather websites to your local news and back. It hits everything.
This has been true for at least five years, likely about eight.
This isn’t news to some of you who have heard of Dead Internet Theory before. But for those of you that have not, I encourage you to dive into it.
A good place to start learning is Wikipedia. They claim it is a conspiracy theory, which means you already know it is actually a conspiracy fact:
The dead Internet theory is an online conspiracy theory that asserts that the Internet now consists mainly of bot activity and automatically generated content manipulated by algorithmic curation, minimising organic human activity to manipulate the population. Proponents of the theory believe these bots were created intentionally to help manipulate algorithms and boost search results in order to manipulate consumers. Some proponents of the theory accuse government agencies of using bots to manipulate public perception. The date given for this “death” was generally around 2016 or 2017.
The dead Internet theory has gained traction because many of the observed phenomena are quantifiable, such as increased bot traffic, but the literature does not support the full theory. Caroline Busta, founder of the media platform New Models, was quoted in an article in The Atlantic calling much of the dead Internet theory a “paranoid fantasy”, even if there are legitimate criticisms involving bot traffic and the integrity of the internet, but she said she does agree with the “overarching idea”. In an article in The New Atlantis, Robert Mariani called the theory a mix between a genuine conspiracy theory and a creepypasta.
[…]
The dead Internet theory has two main components: that bots have displaced human activity on the Internet and that actors are employing these bots to manipulate the human population. The first part of this theory, that bots create much of the content on the internet and perhaps contribute more than organic human content, has been a concern for a while, with the original post by “IlluminatiPirate” citing the article “How Much of the Internet Is Fake? Turns Out, a Lot of It, Actually” in New York magazine. The second half of the dead Internet theory builds on this observable phenomenon by proposing that the U.S. government, corporations, or other actors are intentionally employing these bots to manipulate the human population for a variety of reasons. In the original post, the idea that bots have displaced human content is described as the “setup”, with the “thesis” of the theory itself focusing on the United States government being responsible for this, stating: “The U.S. government is engaging in an artificial intelligence powered gaslighting of the entire world population.”
They speak the truth, even if they shroud it in a “conspiracy theory” package.
The takeaway: Don’t believe a single narrative you read online. It’s all likely manufactured. The internet is fully compromised territory at this point. It’s only going to get worse with hardline, workable public AI now.
But hey, for us older folks, at least you got to enjoy a time when it wasn’t like this. When they were still training the bots. We saw all of this coming with the stupid Twitter “i hate texting” bot failures, but now the bots don’t have those public failures anymore. Not because they are gone, but because they are too advanced to catch most of the time now. They blend in too easily.
And at least you still have my website. I’m too small to be of any significance, so you know I’m not a bot. They push up their own, but I’ll always be in the background. If this website ever suddenly becomes mainstream, that is when you’ll know I’m compromised. The elites only let the bots and the gatekeepers to the top anymore. The rest of us share our own hidden hierarchy in the shadows.
It is sad but true: The golden era of the internet is over.
But on the bright side: This means you can stop demoralizing yourself by what you see in comments and articles online. Most of it isn’t even real, anyway.

As a Dixian, and more specifically an Alabamian, it is in my blood to prefer college football to the NFL. Still, I do appreciate, and consider myself lucky, that I was able to enjoy the entirety of Tom Brady’s career. I can remember his first Super Bowl victory clearly – he was a slow quarterback who had gotten a ton of lucky breaks, but that luck was about to run out. As the narrative went, the Patriots should not have even been there, it should have been the Oakland Raiders, if not for, as the late, great Rush Limbaugh put it, “a silly interpretation of a bogus rule.” Brady and company were expected to be a mere footnote on Kurt Warner and the St. Louis Rams’ “The Greatest Show on Turf” journey as they cemented their legacy as one of the greatest teams ever assembled. But, Brady proved everyone wrong that year, and as hard as it may be to believe now, it actually took several years for Brady to be recognized as one of the greatest to ever play the game. No player will ever be as good and for as long as Brady.
I bring all this up because his life and the details of his divorce shed light into why an entire generation of young men are so jaded in their interactions with women and have no interest in marriage. You see, his wife of 13 years, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, had an affair with her jiu-jitsu instructor, thus ending their marriage. That she did that is terrible enough in and of itself, but what is even more troubling is her rationale – Tom Brady was not spending enough time with her, instead focusing on football. But all of this should have been expected and part of being married to an all-time great. His drive to succeed is legendary, and as such, he keeps on going long after most men would have quit. Say what you will, but this drive is what separates the very good from the illustrious. The history of the NFL is littered with draft busts who had the talent for greatness, but not the drive. Bündchen’s affair revels just how little loyalty she has, and she really expected to be able to marry someone like Brady but have him home all the time. If you want to marry a rich man, you have to deal with a busy man – the “playboy billionaire” is for the realm of fiction, not reality. And yet, a full-grown adult woman could not comprehend this. After many hours of painstaking research, I have come to the conclusion that she is the worst person of German blood to ever live in South America.
But what is most maddening of all is how the media has handled this – the coverage has been largely, and unsurprisingly, sympathetic towards her, acting as if she had a valid point. Gisele Bündchen thought she could have it all, and not have any of the drawbacks that comes with someone like Brady. It’s an incredibly immature attitude, one that is common in young people, but one they also grow out of. And, the Brady divorce is more proof that any discussion of the “patriarchy” is nothing more than a feminist delusion.
This event and the media’s coverage of it is yet another example of why so many young men have no interest in marriage. I dislike the nihilism and hatred of women in the Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) movement, but to act like it came out of the blue and not a result of a system badly stacked against men is simply intellectual dishonesty. For good reason many young men will look at this story and think: “What’s the point? You can be the greatest of all time and your wife will still say it’s not enough and cheat on you. If she does, it will still be all your fault in the eyes of the media. What chance do I have?” And this cannot be dismissed, had Tom Brady had an affair with a 20-something, the media would have erupted. We would be talking about the “agism” women face for the next few weeks and he likely would have lost multiple endorsement deals. Yes, had he violated his wedding vows, there should be consequences for his actions. But, in the America of 2024, those consequences only go one way.
This is not to say that many men could do a whole lot better. I’ve had many conservative women tell me how hard it is to find a stable man who wants a family and is not addicted to either pornography, weed, or video games (if not all three). But I do think this is a consequence of a society that told several generations of men that they could be discarded and said that they were stupid and only could stand in the way of the greatness of girls. This could only go on for so long before serious societal consequences emerged. Yes, women have the right to be distraught how many men only consider them as sex objects rather than as a wife and potential mother, and we should never forget that many women are, in essence, collateral damage in this societal shift. But these “men” are the result of a society that gave them nothing in marriage, so they opted out.
What happened to Tom Brady will only further push men away. The only way to solve this is by forging a society when men once again have a place and are not considered disposable.

Where, and when, did the War of Northern Aggression begin? I submit that it did not begin with the firing on Fort Sumter, nor with the illegal invasion of Lincoln’s army. Neither did it end with Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. The seeds of this great contest were sown much earlier than that. No, the War was not about slavery, as we have been wrongly taught since Reconstruction. Unfair and unconstitutional tariffs imposed upon the South were a large issue which resulted in the secession of the first few states. However, to get to the beginning of this needless conflict, we must go back to 1796, just a few short years after our independence had been won from Great Britain.
From Facts and Falsehoods Concerning the War on the South 1861 – 1865, page 96, we see:
“From the “Olive Branch”, published in 1814, and from the Pelham Papers, published in 1796, we learn:
1st. That the Federal leaders of New England, in 1796, advocated disunion, and were eager to get New England to secede from the Union, and to form a Northeastern Confederacy.
2nd. On finding that the common people of New England did not favor secession, did not want disunion, did not dislike the Southern States, and were proud of the Union, the Federal leaders resorted to measures to convert the masses to their views on secession and disunion.
3rd. These measures were of the meanest, the most contemptible character; were a direct and base violation of the Ninth Commandment, “Thou shalt not bear false witness.” Politicians, newspapers, and preachers of New England engaged in the evil work of bearing false witness against the people of the Southern States, whom they painted as “savages”, as “barbarians,” as “demons incarnate,” as unfit to live in the “same Union with the virtuous people of New England.”
On page 97 of Facts and Falsehoods, we read:
“The following extracts from the “Olive Branch” throw light on this subject:
‘The increasing effort to excite the public mind to that feverish state of discord, jealousy, and exasperation, which was necessary to prepare it for the consummation of their desire (the secession of the Eastern States), the unholy spirit which inspired the writers of these dissolution sentiments has been from the hour (1796 to the present 1814) increasingly employed to excite hostility between the different sections of the Union. To such horrible length has this spirit been carried that many paragraphs have appeared in the Boston papers intended to excite the negroes of the South to rise and massacre the whites. This is a species of baseness of which the world has produced few examples.
The baseness was indeed extraordinary in face of the fact that these efforts to instigate negroes to rise and massacre the whites of the South were made while the people of New England were still enriching themselves by carrying on the slave traffic.”
So, while filling their pockets with money from the slave trade, these New Englanders were advocating for blacks in the South to rise up and murder white Southerners. This was not only being printed in the newspapers of New England, but it also was being preached from the pulpits as well. Lies, bearing “false witness” against the South were intended to shape the thinking of the “common people” of New England so that they would despise the South and wish to separate from it.
Bear in mind that those advocating secession and who were slandering the South at this time were of the “Hamiltonian” mindset, meaning that they were in favor of a large, centralized, controlling government and not in favor of States’ rights. They did not view the States as they actually were; free and independent sovereigns bound together with the Constitution for their mutual benefit. The people of the South had the “Jeffersonian” mindset, meaning they were opposed to a controlling government, like the one they had just fought a war to free themselves from, and believed in individual liberty and the independence of each individual State. Also, we must keep in mind that the Northeast was largely Unitarian, meaning they denied the deity of Christ, that He was not the Son of God. This was a huge difference from the beliefs that Southerners held, that Christ is the Son of God, as is taught in the Holy Bible.
On page 102 of Facts and Falsehoods, we read:
“A convention in Ohio in 1859 declared the Constitution was a compact to which each State acceded as a State, and as an integral part, and that each State had the right to judge for itself of infractions and of the mode and measure of redress, and to this declaration Joshua Giddings, Wade, Chase and Dennison assented.”
So, it was common knowledge that as each State had joined the Union, each also had the right to withdraw if it felt that infractions of the Constitution were being suffered, at least until it was actually put into practice by the South.
It’s interesting to note that numerous times from the late 18th century through the first half of the 19th century that the New England States threatened secession, yet no threat of war was made against them to keep them in the Union. No one called them traitors for wanting to secede from the Union. However, we see a completely different picture when the Southern States, who were actually being damaged by the excessive tariffs of the North, seceded to form its own Confederacy. People today call the Confederates “traitors” and accuse them of “treason” for exercising their right to withdraw from the Union. Such people are grossly ignorant of history and the truth.
We have learned here that the seeds of the War were sown many years before either side took up arms. As stated earlier, the War did not end with the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. Yes, the military aspect of the War ended, this is true, but the subjugation, economic, social, and political phases of the North’s war upon the South were just beginning, and I submit to you that they continue right up to the present day in this 21st century.
How can this claim be made? Look at the rewritten propaganda taught in the government schools which is passed off as “history.” All the blame for the War and slavery are laid at the feet of the South, even though it was the New England slave traders who brought the slaves to America while flying Old Glory on their ships. The Confederate Battle Flag is disparaged as being “the flag of slavery,” yet no Confederate flag ever flew on a slave ship. The South must ever be bowing at the stool of repentance, it would seem. What about the war waged by the media, politicians, NAACP, and others against all things Southern and Confederate? Our flags, statues, and monuments are being removed. Schools, streets, and parks are having their names changed to erase any connection with Confederate soldiers. Cultural genocide is being perpetrated against our heritage, history, and heroes. These gallant men were not fighting to preserve and perpetuate slavery. Had they wanted to protect slavery, all they had to do was remain in the Union where it was already protected by the Constitution. The Marxist myths, lies, and propaganda have brainwashed millions over many decades, and it continues today. If everyone knew the truth about our history, we would not be facing this evil campaign to rid our country of memorials to brave, deserving men who fought an illegal invasion, and suffered defeat and subjugation so that the Founders’ dream could be exterminated and replaced with the centralized government which the victors so long desired.
Our Confederate ancestors fought with honor and dignity, careful not to render unto the civilians of the North the same horrors visited upon Southern civilians by the Union army. The attacks upon Southern culture and honor continue through Hollywood stereotyping, misleading and false documentaries on PBS and the History Channel, and outright lies spouted by the media. In the DNA makeup of the true Southerner is the belief that death has no sting like the stain of falsehood, and the certainty of death at any time is preferable to the possibility of dishonor.
As I have told many anti-Confederates who call us “losers,” there is no disgrace in losing if you fought honorably, bravely, and for a just cause. Though the bones of our dead Confederates molder in the bosom of the Earth, the honor and dignity with which they defended their homeland reflect the virtues of the Southern people, and we may confidently hope that their souls will bloom eternally.

Summer 2011. Midway through the week our troop had made it to the championship canoe race between our camp (west) and east camp. We’d beaten out everyone else on our side of the lake to face an unknown opponent for the title of “Canoe Race Champion.” We got our asses kicked. A week of rowing amounted to a furious effort against a team of high schoolers (I was a rising 7th grader and one of the oldest guys in our troop on this campout).
Fast-forward to Summer 2017. I have just finished hiking to the top of Mount Baldy at Philmont, New Mexico. I was on top of the world both literally and metaphorically. I had done so with my actual brother and several men who I also felt a fraternal bond to. It would end up becoming the subject of my college application essay. I reflected on my youth, remembering that I had certainly lost at a lot of things, but I was a winner on that day and many other days.
On May 7th, the Boy Scouts of America officially changed their name from Scouting BSA to Scouting America. This comes seven years after the Scouts announced they were going to allow girls and troons to join, nine years since they decided to allow homosexuals to take leadership roles, and eleven years after the National Council voted to allow homosexual youths (lol) to join. The comment sections were unsurprisingly replete with former Eagle Scouts duking it out with Norwood 5A’s jannies. I wasn’t surprised: the name change was akin to seeing your ghoulish troon cousin four months into HRT at a family gathering after having initially heard the news. But it did cement that there just are no more spaces in American society, or the West writ large, for young men.
Many of you are probably aware of the idea of a mannerbund or Koryos, a roaming warrior band of Indo-European youths. Historians suspect they were responsible (or had a major role) for the conquest of Europe by Indo-European tribes. The concept survived throughout history: both in the military context as societies saw the benefit in their young men and warrior-class forming tight-knit, fraternal bonds as well as in our social and educational context. The fraternity is a great example and was a staple of American elite culture. College used to not be a credentialing mill, believe it or not: it was finishing school for our patricians who would hone their skills in rhetoric, culture, art, science, but most importantly would form a mannerbund with their colleagues at great institutions. Looking at the history of many fraternities you see memberships filled with some of the best and brightest we have had to offer. Astronauts, statesmen, scientists, great military leaders, they may have been gifted with great heritage and the fortune of being born in a far better time but they became men as they served in their various fraternal orgs.
Scouting was a unique development that sprung from the genius of Lord Robert Baden-Powell. He was inspired not only by his experiences policing British South Africa and Matabeleland, but also upon hearing stories of the great American frontiersmen and Natives. Men who forged a nation from a wild, untamed land along with a people who had an almost supernatural connection to the land. The American legend personified. In an age of rapid industrialization where people, especially young men, were becoming divorced from the land this presented as an opportunity to Lord Baden-Powell. Upon his return, he hosted a campout at Brownsea Island – a name still legendary in American scouting – and drew volunteers from the Boys’ Brigade (a similar organization at the time). Lord Baden-Powell knew that warfare was becoming less a game of the aristocracy and more of a meritocratic endeavor, however the pools from which society was drawing their officers were becoming less tied to the land. How many men would go without ever holding a rifle until they received a draft notice? How many would never learn the basics of tracking wild game? In creating the idea of scouting he sought to not only teach young men civic virtue but important martial doctrine like patrolling, tracking, and strategy. Beyond that, he sought to create men of chivalry and valor in what was becoming an increasingly debased society. The first edition of Scouting for Boys looks at the need for scouting and the need for a body of able young men from which Britannia could draw upon. It became popular in the States for a similar reason, as cities exploded and families looked to find a means for their young men to connect with the land, and overtook British scouting because it was inherently closer to the frontier and many great wild spaces. Scouting itself became a great fixture but especially for our military: I have heard from mixed sources that holding the rank of Eagle Scout essentially guaranteed a quick promotion after enlisting, and older editions of the Scouting handbook was essentially a guide on patrolling.
Scouting is dead now. It’s been dead for some time, but it seems that they’ve finished skinning and tanning its hide for some grotesque imitation to wear. Where else are our young men to go? Fraternity life has become hollow and essentially an MLM. It will still teach you, or any other similarly situated young men, about some important life lessons. I am sure there are some good chapters out there, but my experience was nationals focusing purely on increasing membership as much as possible without a regard for quality of character (although, I had a heck of a great time with the guys who I can call brother). I’d quote Bowling Alone but I think you get the idea.
The irony is that the Catholic Church and Scouting suffered similar issues in that they had to deal with sexual abuse scandals at similar times. Atomization and our steep decline can be blamed for membership declines in both organizations. Both took steep hits to membership and involvement. However, the Church in America has evolved and has begun to return to its more traditional roots. This has seen a huge boost in attendance and the decline of der boomer liberalism as a guiding doctrine for the Church. New priests are almost exclusively ultra-orthodox and socially conservative. I had the opportunity to attend SEEK in 2019 and I saw that the Catholic youth of the day were focused partially on retvrning, but also on the idea of this Church being in this world but not of it. There’s a recent article that discusses this on AP called A Step Back in Time. A good read when it comes to the values shift and re-alignment taking place.
Scouting, on the other hand, is going to learn that there are consequences for drifting too far from one’s core identity. The organization lost roughly half of its membership due to “Covid.” People, especially young men, crave authenticity and scouting seems to be trying to have its cake and eat it, too. The numbers since 2019 are also down despite broadening membership. I perused the list of merit badges and it seems that they’ve only added two nu-badges (sustainability and American Cultures), but they have watered down some of the other badges. Rifle shooting can be completed with a pellet gun now. The current chief scout executive is some beltway ghoul who, in an interview about this decision, seemed to cynically understand that this was being done purely to lower barriers to entry. But he also understands that membership is evaporating away into nothing.
BAP talks a lot in Bronze Age Mindset about how there just simply is not a space for young men to grow and develop their skills and capabilities. You can read this portion specifically in part two on the parable of the iron prison. Men need space in which they can develop their skills and build confidence. They need to be able to do this alongside men of a similar stripe. I was thinking about how fortunate I was to get this opportunity as a youth, as did my brother and cousins, but I am reminded of how tragic a loss this genuinely is. After “Scouting America” goes belly up, who will acquire Philmont? I had the opportunity to traverse it and I will legitimately become homicidal if I hear it’s been acquired by some goober. Florida Sea Base? All of the great camps and locales that can be found dotted throughout the United States. I am the man I am today because I had the opportunity to be brave and challenge myself but what will the men of tomorrow be like? Can we ever fill this niche?
People are becoming more insulated from life in general: you could go through all of high school and never experience any great personal victories or defeats and live an existence totally separate from any risks. I hope we can because I would want my posterity to ultimately have the same experience. I hope we do take the opportunity to fill the niche given a lot of young men seem to be aching for an opportunity to do something.

The idea of Cultural Marxism as a byzantine 12-step method for converting the West to economic Marxism is bogus. Marxism, at least in praxis, was an ethnic power-grab. It was primarily foisted upon the unwitting masses of Eastern and Western Europe by a supermajority-Jewish international cabal. For the purpose of this essay, I’m willing to give Marx and Engels the benefit of the doubt and say they genuinely believed in equitable distribution of wealth with no ethnic favoritism or self-exemption. I don’t have the time or energy to waste laying out that they weren’t, and I don’t need to in order to make my point.
The Marxists won. Not just in Europe, but virtually everywhere that had wealth. Jews waltzed into power and affluence. Now, Marxism was a problem. Take from the who and give to the whom? You mean Michael Bloomberg is going to have to sell one of his palatial estates to enrich the poor crackers of West Virginia? Las Vegas would become the property of all of the white card-dealers, cocktail waitresses, and bouncers? That simply wouldn’t do. Hence, Cultural Marxism. Within every poor West Virginian coal miner and White guy spinning the roulette wheel, there was a raging White corpo-fascist just begging to become wealthy and suppress the masses.
They actually pulled this stunt in Russia, classifying the peasants who didn’t like the idea of communism as kulaks and shipping them off to re-education camps (or worse), while confiscating their meagre land and placing it under control of the “proletariat” of middle-class urban party apparatchiks. Great minds think alike. Or, maybe they just went to the same synagogue in Krakow.
Paleoconservative conventional wisdom holds that Adorno, and the rest of the Frankfurt School decided the masses in the West were just too damn happy with their serfdom and needed to be culturally broken down until they revolted and established Marxism. They supposedly called this process “Cultural Marxism” and, to the paleocons, it’s synonymous with “Political Correctness.” I’ve got a simpler thesis. Marxism already won. They had to change the rules to protect their power. Wealthy =/= bad. White wealthy = bad. Impoverished =/= good. White impoverished = bad. White = bad.
Jews knew they needed some camouflage, so they enlisted women, ethnic minorities, degenerates, and even White men with a taste for bureaucratic or managerial power so it wouldn’t be so obvious and tossed them some scraps from the table. If you need any evidence that non-Jewish minorities are tertiary beneficiaries, look no further than the fact that whenever their interests come into conflict with Jewish interests, they’re sent under the bus rather than just to the back of it. Just consider the ousted President of Harvard and the rest of the fallout from the Palestinian protests.
As a result of this senior/junior partnership, we have a system where non-Whites, particularly Jews, are free to maintain power and wealth, as they are oppressed, and various Whites, having little power or wealth, are oppressors. We’ve squared the circle (kikel, perhaps). What better way to accomplish this than to hide it behind some boring pilpul dissertation about how they have to purge all cultural remnants of the fascist personality?
This is why, if you go to a Marxist protest and meet self-described Marxists, they don’t want to talk about the wealthy people using power unless the wealthy people in question are White. Worse, they’d prefer to talk about the fascist racists in the middle-class and the trailer parks who are always one bad week away from taking over, hoisting the ~~Swastika~~, ~~Stars and Bars~~, Stars and Stripes and shipping all of the wealthy and poor non-Whites into death camps. Whether it’s the unemployed coal miners or the irate blackjack dealers, they’re going to have to change up parts of the 1941 plan. Have you seen U.S. railway infrastructure lately? I don’t think it’s up to the task of line-hauling 49% of the country on one-way trips.
Paleocons would tell you all of this ethnic hatred and deculturalization is step 5, sub-step c, of the grandiose plan to demoralize the populace and introduce outright Marxism. Occam is scratching at the roof of his coffin. The simpler, correct, conclusion is that Cultural Marxism was just the Jews’ way of slamming the door to the command center closed behind them and avoiding getting hauled out and sent to the gulag themselves. If we know anything about history, it’s that Jews really don’t like manual labor.

In terms of a contestable conflict, it’s been over in the Ukraine since Putin decided to intervene directly back in 2022. NATO never had the military capability to defeat the Russians in a direct confrontation. Meanwhile, the Russians had overwhelming advantages over the Ukrainians in firepower, personnel, equipment, technology, military-industrial complexes, and strategic depth from which to conduct long range strikes anywhere in Ukraine.
NATO’s ability to supply Ukraine was always limited by what capacity was left to drain from stockpiles as the ability of production to keep pace with Ukrainian consumption was either woefully inadequate or nonexistent, as in the case of equipment such as Western tanks, which had been produced through boutique processes long before it began. The Ukrainians can be supplied indefinitely with small FPV drones, but that’s about it.
Ukraine is the size of Texas and fortified for World War 3 by the Soviets. It was where Moscow would be defended. It’s taken Russia over two years to annihilate one of the largest armies in the world, backed by NATO, along a line of contact that would stretch from DC to the middle of Florida. The question was only time.
Putin shows treaty on Ukraine’s neutrality, signed by Kiev but dumped under Western pressure

— RT (@RT_com) June 18, 2023
Accordingly, the Ukrainians agreed to a settlement with the Russians at the outset of the conflict, which could’ve spared all the lives lost since then but they were ordered to renege. Putin shows off his signed copy of the agreement. What’s telling is that the Ukrainians clearly aren’t allowed to negotiate even as what’s left of their military is being pounded with hundreds of metric tons of glide bombs every day.
So, from the Ukrainian side of things they’ll just keep going until the situation collapses rather than announcing to the world they want it to end and would be willing to make the necessary concessions to halt Russian combat operations. In other words, it’s up to Russia to induce a collapse which produces the most favorable outcomes for itself. We can observe some developments that might offer predictive value in this regard.
Russia adds Zelensky to criminal 'wanted' list, Ukraine calls it 'desperation'
https://t.co/KNvnG8ZWaD pic.twitter.com/FfP5okTAFz— FRANCE 24 English (@France24_en) May 4, 2024
First, Ukraine didn’t hold scheduled presidential elections last month. A strong case can be made that Zelensky is no longer the legitimate president. Thus, he’s now on Russia’s criminal wanted list. This signals that he’s officially no longer a leader who can represent Ukraine along with anyone in his government. It’s also a way of letting Zelensky know he wouldn’t be allowed to head off into exile if he sticks around for the inevitable collapse. Best to flee at the first sign of trouble.
So, perhaps it has become a matter of how Putin knocks over the dominoes now that they’re set up. This could be why a large Russian operation is underway in the northeast of Ukraine threatening both Kharkov and Kiev. The Russians don’t need to storm and subdue either city, especially since this would involve destroying them. There was an imperative to conduct such an operation in Mariupol during Phase One in order to secure a land bridge between Crimea and the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. Not this time around.
All that’s needed now is to induce a panic, so the defenders abandon their posts and flee westward rather than sticking around for the slaughter. That could be accomplished by moving forces outside the municipal limits and bringing it under artillery range, for example. Either city could serve as a catalyst for regime collapse.
Apparently, there are so many surrenders and desertions in the face of the current operation that units have been deployed to the rear to intercept troops trying to leave. The hopelessness is already rife, and it’s justifiable. It’s a very sad situation for the Ukrainians.
The abandonment of one by the military and government would prompt the same in the other since it would be the next objective on the list. Therefore, whether or not the Russians move on Kiev, the national government would probably flee the capital. How then does the fiction remain that Ukraine has a chance to hold off the Russians? Will the conscripts fight on as it sets up shop again in Lvov? Would the people even support this? Nations often hold up while losing a war until the moment they don’t, and then the disintegration happens overnight.
Note that the Russians have used this tactic earlier in the conflict. The Russian Army parked a column of around 40,000 outside of Kiev in order to put political pressure on the government and tie down the Ukrainian units assigned to the city’s defense in order to prevent them from attempting to relieve Mariupol. The operation was a success in this regard, and also brought the Ukrainians to the negotiating table to sign the agreement discussed earlier in the article.
After the agreement was ripped up and Phase One ended, the column dispersed. In the West, this is hailed as the defeat of a siege. For the Russians, the efficacy of this tactic was proven against the Ukrainians. The Russians know that the Ukrainians aren’t willing or able to hold Kiev indefinitely. This is why these visits by foreign leaders and various stooges are allowed. The major visits are personally approved by Putin, and not because he’s scared. It just adds to the humiliation when the Saigon moment arrives, just like it did in Kabul.

Pair evil with a lack of self-awareness, and this is what you get. What if President Ford had made a visit to Saigon praising the South Vietnamese and proclaiming that the city would never fall? Putin is allowing this to score a propaganda win against the West on the global stage and make a point about NATO’s impotence in imposing its will following the Global War on Terror and his resurrection of Russian power.
Like everything else that happens on the world stage, the average American will just forget about all the grandstanding and fraudulent predictions made in Kiev, and all of the Western experts will just move on as if it never happened. However, this isn’t who Putin needs to show that the Rules-Based International Order is a sick joke. He needs to rally the alternative system being instituted in partnership with China.
There’s a decent chance we watch the situation in Ukraine fall apart in the near future. It would be the best thing for Ukrainians:

The thing about the Gaza Strip is that it’s what the name implies: a small strip of land between Israel and the Mediterranean. There are lots of people living in the vicinity and also a stone’s throw across the Mediterranean is Europe. Likewise with Lebanon where Hezbollah is resisting the Jews, one nuke is probably enough to wipe out most of the population.
There’s also Iran, which is the size of Western Europe. None of its neighbors would be happy about the fallout from nuking the place, however. The thing with nukes as well is that a tactical nuke is still a Hiroshima scenario. This has significant practical implications for many more people than merely the intended victims. No nuclear blast will only be killing the residents of Gaza, for example.

Look, I do get it. You’ve probably had times were you drove past a rent-2-own rims store and maybe a plasma donation center on your way to Walmart while musing to yourself that it might be for the best if this all just disappears in a hot flash. However, as a serious man, you probably concluded that in the long term, a nuclear exchange wouldn’t be in our best interests. What about the children?
Meanwhile, in Congress, we ostensibly find ourselves represented by a bloodthirsty, irate homosexual advocating for precisely this course of action. He’s literally slobbering at the mouth haranguing an interviewer from a Jewish media outlet about why millions, perhaps more, need to perish for the sake of the Jews.

I somewhat wonder if he’s compromised by blackmail material, but then again all of this fellow Republicans are basically the same. Still, he pushes it the furthest. Homosexuals take things too far, losing all sense of shame, dignity, or reason in the pursuit of their perversions. That might explain it, too. He applies this same fervor to the demonic entity worshiped by the Jews.
Graham flies into a rage on television and starts blurting out recipes for millions of deaths or much worse in scenarios that would invariably lead to global conflict. It’s actually quite bizarre that any country would have such a lunatic holding high political office. European politics is full of traitors with the worst character traits imaginable, but they don’t have Lindsey Grahams.
The American Republican politician is a reprehensible creature in a class of its own, but Graham leads the pack. There are certainly more pathetic Republicans, I might award that one to Mike Johnson and his black felon son who helps monitor that Johnson isn’t looking at pornography on his phone. What Graham brings to the table is a visceral thirst for blood paired with an overt homosexuality and slavishness to the Jews that really ought to catch some eyebrows.
It’s quite disturbing but remarkable at the same time that nobody around here seems to think this is inappropriate. Europeans comment that he’s a nutjob. They’re willing to admit that part, but Americans don’t seem to be noticing. At least the Russians had the good sense to finally designate him as a terrorist.

He’s been calling for Putin’s assassination for a couple years now and celebrating how the U.S. gets good value for its money in the form of dead Russians while calling for direct NATO strikes on the Russian military. How much were the Russians supposed to take? Graham isn’t just saying things. He wants these things to happen. Clearly, he delights in the bloodshed.
Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?
The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out.

For example, during the protest on January 6th he tried to play a fruitloop version of Napoleon with his artillery at the Battle of Austerlitz, exhorting the cops to gun down the protestors without mercy. Meanwhile, these protestors probably voted for him if they were from South Carolina. When Graham gets what he wants, the blood flows. I guess we should feel lucky that the big ticket items are still an issue.
There could have been dozens of Ashli Babbitts. On January 6 Lindsey Graham called for law enforcement to shoot the rioters. He yelled at them, “Take back the Senate! You’ve got guns, use them. We give you guns for a reason. Use them!”. They didn’t, except once. pic.twitter.com/4vkst8bwA4

I’m not the only guy on the dissident side of things who went from this vague idea that you can spot many problematic people from their faces to a strong confirmation bias that this was possible.

Graham is both a unique product of America but also the invariable end stage result of a Jewish system of power which Jews claim represents everyone but themselves, who are the victims. The very worst people ultimately assume the front-facing roles because the tasks required are so traitorous and distasteful that someone with a sense of loyalty and ethics wouldn’t want to do them. To do these things with enthusiasm takes a vicious sodomite like Graham, which probably explains a lot.
Moreover, as this system spirals and persists, anyone decent is filtered out long before they’d ever consider running for office. As a corollary, I think what’s also happening now is that the Jews can’t count on someone like Graham to present himself as a rational actor, so they’re increasingly stepping into the top spots although they’re no good at it. In other words, the goyim brought up to serve them through this system are so terrible they feel compelled to step from behind the scenes to try and tone things down. I could be wrong, but this is my suspicion.
I’m not sure if Josh Hawley or Tom Cotton are ever going to be able to overshadow Graham. The shadow cast by nuclear winter ought to do the trick, though.
The post Senator Duke Nukem appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Anyone who pays attention to conservative politics in the [u]nited States at present for half a minute will hear some variant of the phrase, ‘Israel is the greatest ally of the U.S. in the Middle East (or, in the world, according to some variations of this statement).’ The basis of the statement is that Christians and Jews have some sort of mystical religious bond – that they worship the same, or nearly the same, God – and this should translate into close political ties between the States and Israel.
But these statements are never examined for their veracity. We aim to do so now. Should Christians in the U.S., and especially in Dixie, consider Jews/the nation of Israel their best friend in the world? Church history, when one actually reads it, says No.
Let us look first at the lives of the saints. There is abundant evidence of Jewish malice toward Christians. From the early Christian era is the life of St Matrona:
The Holy Martyr Matrona of Thessalonica suffered in the third or fourth century. She was a slave of the Jewish woman Pautila (or Pantilla), wife of one of the military commanders of Thessalonica. Pautila constantly mocked her slave for her faith in Christ, and tried to convert her to Judaism. Saint Matrona, who believed in Christ from her youth, still prayed to the Savior Christ, and secretly went to church unbeknownst to her vengeful mistress.
Pautila, learning that Saint Matrona had been to church, asked, “Why won’t you come to our synagogue, instead of attending the Christian church?” Saint Matrona boldly answered, “Because God is present in the Christian church, but He has departed from the Jewish synagogue.” Pautila went into a rage and mercilessly beat Saint Matrona, tied her up, and shut her in a dark closet. In the morning, Pautila discovered that Saint Matrona had been freed of her bonds by an unknown Power.
In a rage Pautila beat the martyr almost to death, then bound her even more tightly and locked her in the closet. The door was sealed so that no one could help the sufferer. The holy martyr remained there for four days without food or water, and when Pautila opened the door, she again found Saint Matrona free of her bonds, and standing at prayer.
Pautila flogged the holy martyr and left the skin hanging in strips from her body. The fierce woman locked her in the closet again, where Saint Matrona gave up her spirit to God.
Pautila had the holy martyr’s body thrown from the roof of her house. Christians took up the much-suffered body of the holy martyr and buried it. Later, Bishop Alexander of Thessalonica built a church dedicated to the holy martyr. Her holy relics, glorified by many miracles, were placed in this church.
The judgment of God soon overtook the evil Pautila. Standing on the roof at that very place where the body of Saint Matrona had been thrown, she stumbled and fell to the pavement. Her body was smashed, and so she received her just reward for her sin.
Several centuries later, we find similar things happening in the life of St Eustratius:
Martyr Eustratius of the Caves was born in the eleventh century at Kiev into a wealthy family. As an adult, he received monastic tonsure at the Kiev Caves monastery, after giving away all his possesions to the poor. Saint Eustratius humbly underwent obediences at the monastery, strictly fulfilling the rule of prayer and passing his days in fasting and vigilance.
In 1096 the Polovetsians captured Kiev and ravaged the monastery of the Caves, doing away with many of the monks. Saint Eustratius was taken into captivity, and was sold into slavery with thirty monastic laborers and twenty inhabitants of Kiev to a certain Jew living in Korsun.
The impious Jew tried to make the captives deny Christ, threatening to kill those who refused by starving them. Saint Eustratius encouraged and exhorted his brother Christians, “Brothers! Let none of us who are baptized and believe in Christ betray the vows made at Baptism. Christ has regenerated us through water and the Spirit. He has freed us from the curse of the Law by His Blood, and He has made us heirs of His Kingdom. If we live, we shall live for the Lord. If we die, we shall die in the Lord and inherit eternal life.”
Inspired by the saint’s words, the captives resolved to die of starvation, rather than renounce Christ, Who is the food and drink of Eternal Life. Exhausted by hunger and thirst, some captives perished after three days, some after four days, and some after seven days. Saint Eustratius remained alive for fourteen days, since he was accustomed to fasting from his youth. Suffering from hunger, he still did not touch food nor water. The impious Jew, seeing that he had lost the money he had paid for the captives, decided to take revenge on the holy monk.
The radiant Feast of the Resurrection of Christ drew near, and the Jewish slave owner was celebrating the Jewish Passover with his companions. He decided to crucify Saint Eustratius. The cruel tormentors mocked the saint, offering to let him share their Passover meal. The Martyr replied, “The Lord has now bestown a great grace upon me. He has permitted me to suffer on a cross for His Name just as He suffered.” The saint also predicted a horrible death for the Jew.
Hearing this, the enraged Jew grabbed a spear and stabbed Saint Eustratius on the cross. The martyr’s body was taken down from the cross and thrown into the sea. Christian believers long searched for the holy relics of the martyr, but were not able to find them. But through the Providence of God the incorrupt relics were found in a cave and worked many miracles. Later, they were transferred to the Near Caves of the Kiev Caves monastery.
The prediction of the holy Martyr Eustratius that his blood would be avenged was fulfilled soon after his death. The Byzantine Emperor issued a decree expelling all Jews from Korsun, depriving them of their property, and putting their elders to death for torturing Christians. The Jew who crucified Saint Eustratius was hanged on a tree, receiving just punishment for his wickedness.
There are also Christian children who suffered tortures and death from the Jews. Here are a few examples:
THIS martyr was another victim of the implacable rage of the Jews against our holy religion. He suffered in the twelfth year of his age. Having been not long bound an apprentice to a tanner in Norwich, a little before Easter, in 1137, the Jews of that city having enticed him into their houses, seized and gagged him: then they bound, mocked and crucified him, in derision of Christ: they also pierced his left side. On Easter-day they put the body into a sack, and carried it into Thorp-wood, now a heath, near the gates of the city, there to bury it; but being discovered, left it hanging on a tree. . . . Mr. Weever writes that, “the Jews in the principal cities of the kingdom, used sometimes to steal away, circumcise, crown with thorns, whip, torture, and crucify some neighbour’s male-child, in mockery and scorn of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. St. Richard of Pontoise, in France, was martyred by them in that manner. As also St. Hugh, (according to Matthew Paris and John Capgrave,) a child crucified at Lincoln, in 1255.
And one other:
IN the year 1472, when the Jews of Trent (famous for the last general council held there) met in their synagogue on Tuesday, in Holy Week, to deliberate on the preparations for the approaching festival of the Passover, which fell that year on the Thursday following, they came to a resolution of sacrificing to their inveterate hatred of the Christian name, some Christian infant on the Friday following, or Good Friday. A Jewish physician undertook to procure such an infant for the horrid purpose. And while the Christians were at the office of Tenebræ on Wednesday evening, he found a child called Simon, about two years old, whom by caresses and by showing him a piece of money, he decoyed from the door of a house, the master and mistress whereof were gone to church, and carried him off. On Thursday evening the principal Jews shut themselves up in a chamber adjoining to their synagogue, and at midnight began their cruel butchery of this innocent victim. Having stopped his mouth with an apron to prevent his crying out, they made several incisions in his body gathering his blood in a basin. Some, all this while, held his arms stretched out in the form of a cross: others held his legs. The child being half dead, they raised him on his feet, and while two of them held him by the arms, the rest pierced his body on all sides with their awls and bodkins. When they saw the child had expired, they sung round it: “In the same manner did we treat Jesus the God of the Christians: thus may our enemies be confounded for ever.” The magistrates and parents making strict search after the lost child, the Jews hid it first in a barn of hay, then in a cellar, and at last threw it into the river. But God confounded all their endeavours to prevent the discovery of the fact, which being fully proved upon them, with its several circumstances, they were put to death: the principal actors in the tragedy being broken upon the wheel and burnt. The synagogue was destroyed, and a chapel was erected on the spot where the child was martyred.
After reading these accounts, it should surprise no one to hear the Fathers of the Church warning Christians about friendship with Jews. St John Chrysostom (+407), one of the greatest of the Holy Fathers, who rose to become Patriarch of Constantinople, had this to say in one of his sermons:
Many, I know, respect the Jews and think that their present way of life is a venerable one. This is why I hasten to uproot and tear out this deadly opinion. I said that the synagogue is no better than a theater and I bring forward a prophet as my witness. Surely the Jews are not more deserving of belief than their prophets. “You had a harlot’s brow; you became shameless before all”. Where a harlot has set herself up, that place is a brothel. But the synagogue is not only a brothel and a theater; it also is a den of robbers and a lodging for wild beasts. Jeremiah said: “Your house has become for me the den of a hyena”. He does not simply say “of wild beast”, but “of a filthy wild beast”, and again: “I have abandoned my house, I have cast off my inheritance”. But when God forsakes a people, what hope of salvation is left? When God forsakes a place, that place becomes the dwelling of demons.
(2) But at any rate the Jews say that they, too, adore God. God forbid that I say that. No Jew adores God! Who say so? The Son of God say so. For he said: “If you were to know my Father, you would also know me. But you neither know me nor do you know my Father”. Could I produce a witness more trustworthy than the Son of God?
(3) If, then, the Jews fail to know the Father, if they crucified the Son, if they thrust off the help of the Spirit, who should not make bold to declare plainly that the synagogue is a dwelling of demons? God is not worshipped there. Heaven forbid! From now on it remains a place of idolatry. But still some people pay it honor as a holy place.
. . . Our common Mother (the Church) has lost not a cloak but a brother. The devil stole him and now holds him in Judaism. You know who stole him; you know him who was stolen. Do you see me lighting, as it were, the lamp of my instruction and searching everywhere in my grief? And do you stand silent, refusing to denounce him? What excuse will you have? Will the Church not reckon you among her worst enemies? Will she not consider you a foe and destroyer?
A tremendous holy man of our own time, St Paisios of Mt Athos (+1994) also warns:
Difficult times are ahead. Great trials await us. Christians will suffer great persecutions. Meanwhile, it’s obvious that people don’t understand that we’re on the verge of the end times, that the seal of the Antichrist is becoming a reality. As if nothing’s happening. That’s why Holy Scripture says that even the chosen will be deceived.
The Zionists want to rule the earth. To achieve their ends they use black magic and satanism. They regard satan-worship as a means to gain the strength they need to carry out their plans. They want to rule the earth using satanic power. God is not something they take into account…
The trendline is pretty easy to discern. But a digression is necessary before closing. None of this is meant to gin up violence against Jews. There are of course some who do very good things in the world. Robert Amsterdam, for instance, is doing praiseworthy work defending the Orthodox Church from the persecutions of the Zelensky regime in the Ukraine. And many Jews have become notable Christians over the years: the Holy Apostles chief among them, but also saints like St Kyriakos, Patriarch of Jerusalem (martyred in 363 AD, who was a Jew named Jude before his baptism).
Nevertheless, it is a great mistake for Christians in Dixie or anywhere else to say of the Jews or the nation of Israel that they are our best friends in the world. That is an appellation which must be reserved for our brothers and sisters in Christ, who are in fact the True Israel: ‘Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham’ (St Paul’s Letter to the Galatians 3:7). Our foreign policy ought, therefore, to focus on strengthening ties with Christian countries around the world rather than obliterating and ostracizing peoples who refuse to dance to the Israeli/Zionist tune.
But because of the spirit of delusion that has befallen the world (II Thessalonians 2:11), it is difficult for people to accept words like these. Christians must prepare themselves to face hardships, as St Paisios cautioned above. But he also assures them that as they undergo trials, the joy of the Lord will be with them:
Let us not expect the spiritual spring if we don’t first pass through the spiritual winter during which the spiritual vermin die. We mustn’t expect the divine to blossom within us if the human hasn’t first died.
Those who suffer deeply for the salvation of the whole world and help in their own way (as strugglers) and humbly entrust themselves to the hands of God, feel the greatest joy in the world. Their life is a constant doxology, for they flutter about internally like angels, glorifying God day and night.
With those words in mind, Christians should go forth into the world to tell the Truth to any who have ears to hear.

In my last article, “The Last Will and Testament of a Free Dixian,”a charge was given to those that will inherit what must one day be free and independent South, governed in a confederation of ethnically connected Christian nations. The charge was wide in scope, expansive in its generality, an emotional and spiritual blessing for your posterity. But our souls tell us, it most assuredly takes more than flowery words to procure. To snatch freedom out of the hand of the evil one and his children, it will take determination, fortitude, and sacrifice. To fulfill the charge in this testament, it takes will power.
I remember listening to an autobiographical story from a man, who, as a young boy, had a fear of thunderstorms. It petrified him to paralyzation. Subsequently, he made plans to face that fear when the next storm stuck, and determined to climb up into a tree and stay the night through that hellacious storm. It was his theory, if he could will himself into facing the anxiety that naturally occurs during these potentially life threatening storms, his fear would be crushed in his mind forever. He willed himself to face his fear, formulated a plan, and determined that he could not live with himself if he did not conquer the enemy that crippled him. He succeeded, and never had that fear again.
So, what does conquering your fears look like young Dixian? What will you face for an independent South? What is the road less traveled you must take, even though it may stretch you to exhaustion?
Knowing that our homeland must be separate from the United States, and our state governments must lead the way! Young men, strive to put yourself into the position to lead. You will be amazed at how little it takes to win a public office. It took just less than ten percent of the vote in my area to become a judge, and less to be on city council. Become a sheriff, police officer, firefighter, all of which have great value for our people as we establish governments inside, but also outside the current system. Use your youth and energy towards that end.
Our churches must be places that attract quality men. Men that are willing to assault the gates of hell for the kingdom. As a benefit for you single men, that type of masculinity attracts quality women that will feel comfortable starting large families with you. Large Southern families change the calculus of the current demographic replacement exponentially! So, be faithful, become a deacon or elder in your church, and direct your congregations from a telescopic outward facing mission toward an inward focused philanthropy. It’s time our congregations take care of their own, as the Bible commands, and that before the foreigner. I know from experience, shifting this paradigm takes boldness, patience, courage, and the determination to go it alone. I have seen dramatic positive changes in the leadership of my congregation since I rejected timidity.
Don’t be afraid to start a business, working for yourself makes you resilient, especially as a tradesman. You’ll be more insulated from outside forces. Don’t be afraid to buy land and start a homestead and become as self sufficient as possible. I’ve overcome this particular fear and am on this path presently. Do as much for yourself as possible, and build skill sets that you never even thought you could acquire. Every bit of separation our people can get from the tentacles of the imperial economic leviathan ensures the better chance we have to survive the coming collapse.
In the next few articles I’ll address specific policies that will inspire our people to break from the conservative/liberal paradigm, a paradigm which paralyzes our ability see real political change towards our freedom.
So, young Dixian, you must overcome the fear of advocating for your people exclusively, and in every decision you make. You are not required to save the world, no matter who enlists you to do so. You are here to save your Southern people, and by all the means that the Lord of Hosts allows and commands. You have not the luxury of delay, and any patience that you display must be deliberate and pragmatic.
You can complain about your elders failing to maintain our civilization, or you can get involved and restore it to their shame.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

The popularity of Andrew Tate among so many young men, although tragic, is unsurprising. It is the result of a decades-long war on masculinity – one that boys, because they are younger and not fully formed, were always the primary victims of. Andrew Tate is many things, he is an abuser, a pimp, a degenerate, and a recent convert to Islam (for however long that will be). He cares nothing about others. Self-sacrifice, one of the key trademarks of healthy masculinity, is a completely foreign concept to him. He’s a man who views existence as moving from one fleshy pleasure to another. He is the posterchild of a hedonistic post-Christian West. No one on the Right should defend him.
But the fact that he has such a large following lays at the feet of a Left that hates all traditional notions of masculinity and has engaged in a never-ending campaign to destroy it. Tate’s young fans know nothing of a society that embraces healthy notions of masculinity. All they have ever known is a society that sees it as a negative force; hence, men constantly find themselves on the short end of the stick. DEI puts them well behind the eight ball in the job market, while the rise of dating apps has rendered the vast majority of young men as outcasts. Any complaint about their conditions, no matter how nuanced, will get them labeled as a “loser” or an “incel.” Even baseless allegations can ruin their life. To a significant amount of people, a false abuse allegation made by a woman against a man is a categorical impossibility, and, as a result, even an allegation can make them a social pariah. It’s no wonder then that Andrew Tate has managed to win such a following. He offers boys a chance out of a system that hates them. He offers them an opportunity to destroy the society that made them into villains.
Television, especially sitcoms, just reinforces the notion that men are stupid and disposable. If you are too young to remember when The Simpsons debuted, you are too young to remember a world where sitcom fathers were largely portrayed as intelligent, hardworking, and vital members of the family. Instead, the dad became the dufus and a big, overgrown kid. Are there exceptions? Sure, King of the Hill comes to mind, but those are the exceptions. Now, several generations of men only live in a society that hates them. No wonder so many of them no longer care if that society survives.
Important to note just how many boys were raised by a weak father. Mom was in charge, and everyone knew it. Dad was there to watch football. And those are the cases where the dad was even around at all, in many cases he could not even manage that. To be sure, there were/are always cases where the father is not around. Sometimes it was due to death, sometimes alcohol, and sometimes abandonment. But even in those cases, the society was overall healthy enough to survive because other local men could step in and provide leadership to young boys. Today, those are gone, far too many men are too busy to provide such leadership and one of the key institutions that did provide that leadership, the Church, has been heavily feminized.
Meanwhile, the traditional Western heroes that could provide boys someone to admire have been destroyed for being racist. When young boys can no longer look up to the likes of Charlemagne, George Washington, or Robert E Lee, they have to find someone. Someone must fill that void and, if it’s someone like Tate, well then that is better than nothing at all. The lack of real-life historical figures for boys to admire is one of the most important shifts in the culture that has occurred in the past 70 years and is also one of the most ignored.
I do not have an inherent issue with the use of a fantasy setting for entertainment aimed at boys. I’m a Catholic, obviously, I admire Tolkien. Fantasy settings have always been used, and can be used to impart important moral lessons, including traditional understandings of manhood. The issue is the complete lack of balance. There is a reason that toy soldiers would traditionally feature soldiers from actual wars, it was seen as giving something boys could actually aspire to. However, in the backlash against the Vietnam War, those traditional toy soldiers were banished and, in their place, came new heroes that could never exist. Those certainly had their own value and were cool looking, and they were certainly better than what we have now, but something important was lost in that shift, and now we are seeing the end results.
If the Left was serious about combatting the influence of someone like Tate, they would rein in the misandry. They would stop telling young girls that men are disposable, that playing with their feelings is hilarious, and that men are just playing life on easy mode. They would allow boys to have traditional masculine heroes again. They would realize that whatever merit Homer Simpson clones had 35 years ago as a backlash against the Father Knows Best/Leave it to Beaver archetype is now meaningless to, at least, two generations of men who know nothing but the stupid sitcom dad. But they have no interest in that, to them, what is happening to boys is great because of sexism.
Remember, the Left wants revenge, not justice. That is why is it so important for healthy men to provide that leadership. We are going through tough times now, and traditional, healthy masculinity is badly needed. We must provide that leadership. We might not be able to make many of today’s “men” turn off the NFL and become a better father, as much as I would like to do so, but we can provide leadership to young men that desperately need it. They will find that leadership, the question is whether it will come from well-adjusted men or from the likes of Andrew Tate.

Author's Preface: This is a resubmission of an essay published on Identity Dixie in early 2022. While it is mostly intact, an additional reference has been added to the bibliography and much more has been expanded upon in the Christian section as well as a few edits to the history section. I would also like to clarify that the uses of "Japhetic race," "Japhethites," "Dixians," and "Southerners" are synonymous with "Caucasian" and "White."
“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.”
Acts 17:26, KJV
The foremost artificial sin Dixie remains guilty of committing stands as the Jim Crow era. While Antebellum slavery receives unremitting condemnation, Southern segregation holds the crown jewel of Dixian sins, often painted as the nadir of race relations in North America. Very little apologetics were written in defense of Jim Crow, unlike the Antebellum South and the Confederate cause, and even the most ardent of pro-Southern and neo-Confederate sympathizers often refuse to address the era, going so far as to even adopt the current neo-abolitionist historiography. Aside from American historians, and the media, waxing poetically about the struggles of the Civil Rights movement and its leaders’ fight against systemic racism in Dixie during the 1950s and 1960s, many Southerners simply lack the intestinal fortitude to address the fallacies within the leftist narrative or to seek vindication of the Southern segregationists of old, despite those segregationists often comprising the brunt of the utmost superlative statesmen Dixie produced following the War Between the States. However, upon further research, it is quite possible, though difficult in many respects, to find a number of buried sources in which segregation is defended and justified. This essay will seek to provide a legal, social, and Christian justification for and explanation of how Jim Crow laws produced a superior society for both Caucasian and Negro Southerners, as well as, discussing the means through which they may be used to reform contemporary Southern society.
To give pretext to this extensive topic, a bit of history is required. The origin of Jim Crow Laws are murkier and less clear than commonly purported. Whereas a handful of instances which occurred allow for the pinpointing of the Jim Crow era’s official, or de jure, beginning, confusion mires the questions of “why” and “how” it began, a far more convoluted origin than the simplistic neo-abolitionist view of history.
Segregation began de facto in some areas during Reconstruction. On a case-by-case basis, Radicals sought to forcibly integrate numerous areas, and Lowland Southerners’ intimate, paternalistic pre-War lifestyles allowed for a greater degree of social interaction between the races. However, that paternalism did not prevent Southerners from holding the same social beliefs as they had prior to 1865; additionally, poor Whites assiduously disliked interactions with Negroes. All classes of Whites loathed living under Radical and Negro rule, with the former oppressing Southerners and engaging in superfluous corruption and the latter committing wonton crime, as well as, flocking to abrasive militia organizations.20,21
With the Compromise of 1877 came the end of Reconstruction and the ousting of the Republican regime. The Redeemer Democrats often ran on pro-White platforms and promises of restoring social order. While these promises won them control of Dixie at this time, only a few, including Governors Wade Hampton III of South Carolina and Francis Nicholls of Louisiana, actually upheld their promises and led generally unobjectionable gubernatorial tenures, concentrated primarily in the first few years after Reconstruction’s end.20 Order was quickly restored, but the Democrats were no longer constituted of the same preeminent folk which constituted the Jacksonian, and few remaining Jeffersonian, Democrats of antebellum yore. The Southern aristocracy had been rendered all but extinct by the War Between the States’ end due to exile, destruction of their plantations and property, death from starvation and illness, without children because of their sons’ service in the Confederate military or their daughters falling victim to collateral damage, and the ravages of military invasion and occupation. The replacements to these men were often second sons, businessmen, lawyers, middle managers, and other second-rate individuals, failing to bear the torch of leadership their predecessors had done. This dominant faction of the Southern Democrats came to be known as the “conservatives” and “Bourbons.”4,21
This new generation of Southern politicians were more business oriented than the Planters, focusing on industry, railroads, urban expansion, and financial gains to the detriment of the still mostly rural Southern population. Taking this into account, it was quite beneficial for them politically to make claims of supporting Negroes, who began moving to urban areas following their emancipation. All but excommunicating working-class Whites from the base of the Democratic Party, conservatives cast aside the demographic they utilized to Redeem Dixie and began to cater to Freedmen. This created an interesting social dichotomy with three primary philosophies which competed against each other in the 1880s and 1890s.20,21
Jim Crow was originally a character in a minstrel play in the 1800sDe facto segregation ebbed and flowed following Reconstruction. Multiple philosophies formed to address the race issue. Conservatives were moderates and often promoted social policies of paternalism, often via ostentatious means and consisted of a few of the remaining Planters as well as new upper classes of Whites. There was a faction of liberal Whites who believed in the absolute idea of Negro suffrage and equity among the races and spread across all socio-economic classes. Lastly were the hardline racialists, or segregationists, and were typically constituted of the aforementioned rural, working-class Whites.20
The belligerent feelings between these factions catalyzed during the 1880s, as the original Redeemer governors began leaving office. At approximately the same point, the indigent rural population grew weary of the corruption brewing within the conservative Democratic ruling faction, and they opted to form various populist Farmer’s Alliances, ultimately creating the Populist Party. Drawing in poor Whites and Negroes, the Populists worked diligently to unify the two races and quell animosity between the two demographics which historically loathed each other and directly competed with each other in correlation with a series of devastating depressions which hit throughout the 1880s and 1890s. However, this was all for naught. The Populist Party in the South collapsed earlier than its counterparts in the West due to infighting and the conservatives’ strategic use of Negro votes to crush upstarting White populists.20
Yet, the conservatives failed to firmly grasp the reins of power indefinitely. These depressions, rising corruption, circumvention of White votes, and neglect of rural interests would be their undoing and weaken them severely, especially as the Negroes became more apathetic towards voting. Segregationist populists and left-wing populists continued to strengthen, encroach upon the conservatives’ power, and successfully takeover swathes of the Southern Democratic Party; consequently, conservatives were left standing at a fork in the road. 19,20
Whether capitulating so as to preserve what power they still held or being voted out of office entirely, the conservatives gave in, state-by-state, to the tidal wave of de jure Jim Crowism spreading across Dixie. In 1890, Governor John Marshall Stone, a former Confederate officer serving his second non-consecutive term whose first term was that of Mississippi’s Redeemer governor, presided over the ratification of the new Mississippi Jim Crow constitution. Beginning the movement known as the 2nd Mississippi Plan, segregationist constitutions and laws as a means of voting restriction began slowly manifesting in the South until 1896. These constitutions introduced poll taxes, literacy tests, and residential requirements. Ultimately, these prerequisites negatively effected many of the poor rural Caucasians and populists. They would finally seize the reins of power at the polls and begin an era of populist success upon the South’s adoption of White primaries between 1896 and 1906.19,20,21
Also in 1890, Benjamin Tillman seized the reins of power in South Carolina and became the Palmetto State’s governor. The former Confederate soldier was a firebrand mouthpiece of White agrarian populism, and Tillman spearheaded a vicious campaign against the South Carolina conservatives, loathing them for casting him aside after he led the Red Shirts to win Wade Hampton’s III governorship in the 1876 gubernatorial election. Tillman and his successor John Gary Evans pushed for and successfully presided over a new Jim Crow South Carolina constitution in 1895. The uproar caused by its ratification brought a case to the Supreme Court, the infamous Plessy v. Ferguson, in 1896 after which a slew of Jim Crow constitutions were drafted and ratified from then until 1910. The era of de jure Jim Crowism had truly begun, with the additional factor that White populism became a mainstay of Southern politics. According to Mississippi Governor James Vardaman, in 1890 a member of the Mississippi Constitutional Convention, “There is no use to equivocate or lie about the matter…. Mississippi’s constitutional convention of 1890 was held for no other purpose than to eliminate the nigger from politics. Not the ‘ignorant and vicious’, as some of the apologists would have you believe, but the nigger…. Let the world know it just as it is…. In Mississippi we have in our constitution legislated against the racial peculiarities of the Negro…. When that device fails, we will resort to something else.” This statement, along with his catering to the White working class in Mississippi throughout his political career in the Mississippi House of Representative, governorship, and U.S. Senate, and the later governorships of Theodore Bilbo in Mississippi and Tillman and Evans in South Carolina, only serve to solidify the patent fact that segregation formed as a product of the woes of the White working class and not a means of rich White Southerners to suppress Negro votes, as is often commonly claimed.20,21
South Carolina Governor and US Senator Benjamin TillmanPublic segregation developed separately but concurrently. While a bit muddier to pinpoint due to the intimate nature between the paternalistic upper class Caucasians and the lowly Negroes, legal public segregation began in 1890 with the Louisiana Separate Car Act. This very piece of state legislation is what resulted in the infamous Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court case which solidified de jure public segregation as a mainstay of Southern social life.21
Having established the caliginous background of the laws, the Jim Crow era violated nothing within the constitutional framework and easily held the status of legal justification. Multitudinous works, book and essay, presented and expounded upon this argument throughout the 20th century, only being suppressed and swept away by modern historians. Simply stated, the Jim Crow laws complied with America’s constitutional framework. Jim Crow required a poll tax and literacy in order to vote, effectively disqualifying a majority of Negroes and many poor Whites. However, this did not restrict voting based on racial status, adhering to the regulations established in the 15th Amendment; Congress simply passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 anyway. Social segregation was further dismantled via malicious misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment in the Brown v Board of Education decision, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, none of which actually held any constitutional validity upon inspection of the amendments in question. The last of the landmark Civil Rights bills came about in 1968, with the Fair Housing Act, preventing Whites from setting up their own communities and towns in direct violation of the 1st Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of association.2,15,18
The segregationists vehemently asserted the claim that communist factions, or sympathizers, fomented, catalyzed, and financed integration. In this they were not wrong, often utilizing the argument as a primary means of context and giving further validity to the arguments utilized in this essay.1,11,14,17,18 According to Herman Talmadge, the NAACP, Southern Regional Council, Southern Negro Youth Conference, and other such organizations teemed with communists. In his book, You and Segregation, Talmadge listed Dr. George S. Mitchell, Paul Robeson, James E. Jackson Jr., Howard Fast, Dr. Max Yergen, and Louis Burnham as a few notable examples. Dr. Mitchell was affiliated with the Southern Conference for Human Welfare, a notorious communist front group prosecuted by the House unAmerican Activities Committee, and which worked extensively with the NAACP prior to the former’s disbandment in 1948. Also, Louis Burnham was at one point the organizational secretary of SNYC while also the vice president of American Youth for Democracy, also known as the Young Communist League.18 Furthermore, the Left has even admitted to and praised communists’ involvement in the Civil Rights movement, in some cases even giving them credit for starting it.5,12,13
A John Birch Society billboard brandishing an image of Martin Luther King at a communist training schoolBeing fully within the legal bounds of the United States Constitution, the social benefits of the era are easily quantifiable. The social implications, and subsequent consequences, of integration were dire and overturned a multi-generational establishment of customs. The fallout from these tyrannical, communist, anti-Christian, anti-Southern pieces of legislation carried with it the permanent degradation and destruction of American, and especially Southern, society in both the short term and long term. The Civil Rights legislation of 1964,1965, and 1968 as well as the Brown v. Board ruling and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society welfare program utterly decimated Negro communities. Now in direct competition with all Whites, Negroes found themselves and their businesses collapsing when confronted with the new White markets, and welfare expansion crushed any incentive they once held for work ethic and familial stability. Furthermore, the Fair Housing Act of 1968 caused the mass phenomenon known as “White Flight” to drain cities and townships of financial stability in order to recreate all White communities they no longer could legally have. Southern cities quickly collapsed thereafter and became consumed with crime.6,8,9,10 Lastly, the Immigration Act of 1965 created the scenario of Negroes having to directly compete with the unremitting flow of Hispanic immigrants into America, forcing the former into a position of competition on all fronts in the trades and agricultural fields they once thrived in. Even Herman Talmadge lamented the collapse in employment of Negro school teachers following the Brown v. Board ruling.18
The effect these political moves imposed on White Southerners carried an even greater reprehensible nature. No longer legally allowed to maintain their own clubs, schools, communities, or even politics, Southern Whites’ relationship with the Negroes soured immensely. Since the politics Whites controlled became tainted with the votes of lesser qualified, malicious groups brainwashed with communistic delusions of grandeur, Southern politicians turned on their own kinfolk after a generation, engaging in a modern Reconstruction which has not ceased since the 1990s. With no positive political representation, difficulty in residing within Southern cities, and a relentless assault on Southern culture and history within the education system and media, as well as, increasing rates of miscegenation, Southerners’ future appears quite bleak.
As a brief note, industrialization of Dixie arose concurrently and correlated with integrationist movements of the 1950s and 1960s. Urban life never truly benefitted the Negroes. As with integration of the labor force, urbanity placed Negroes in direct competition with Whites, and the latter generally responded with hostility. Blacks usually thrived more comfortably in rural areas, in agricultural work, and in trade skills. Urban industrial work brought with it associations with communist groups, modernized promises of “40 acres and a mule,” and the false hope of Civil Rights activism, none of which brought positive change to the Negro life. Robert Penn Warren discussed the negatives of industrial living for blacks, emphasizing the positives of rural living and their thriving within agricultural and trade work.3 This phenomenon remains an overlooked aspect of Negro history and neglected discussion of the negative consequences of their movement from rural to urban environments.
A cursory assessment of Jim Crow illuminates the fact numerous, if not most, segregationists utilized the Holy Bible to support their claims, a prime example being Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett’s status as a Baptist Sunday School teacher and who brazenly said, “The Good Lord was the original segregationist. He put the black man in Africa. He made us White because He wanted us White, and He intended that we should stay that way.”1,7,16 Pastors, mostly Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian, frequently railed against integration. One of the more famous sermons delivered on racial integration was titled “God: The Original Segregationist” and was written and preached by Reverend Carey Danial of West Dallas, Texas in 1954. Bob Jones Sr., the founder of Bob Jones University in South Carolina, was a recalcitrant segregationist and famously delivered a radio broadcast sermon in 1960 titled “Is Segregation Scriptural?” in opposition to integration. Further inquiry proves their beliefs true. Utilizing multiple verses and passages, Jim Crowism patently fails to fit within the modern accusations of Southern sins. The Old Testament remains filled to the brim with verses and laws discussing the separation of the Hebrews from other peoples, the New Testament discusses in Acts 17:26 how the Lord separated human groups into different homelands, and Revelation 7:9 describes John’s vision of countless unique nations and languages standing before God’s throne. Revelation also details the antichrist’s goal to establish a one world government with a one world language, flying in the face of modern, open border, miscegenation pursuing globalism. Leviticus 19:19 uses cattle, seeds, and cloth metaphorical as a means of condemning race-mixing. Genesis 10:5, in a similar fashion to that of Acts 17:26, says, “By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.” Ezra 9:1-7 displays an extreme grievance at the behest of the author towards intermarriage, and Zechariah 9:6 as well as Deuteronomy 28 both describe mixing as a curse. The Samaritans were a cursed people and were often viewed as such. They were the product of God’s punishment of the ancient Hebrews who were taken into bondage and slavery due to disobedience. Despite Christ’s parable of the Good Samaritan, at no point in the story does he refute this fact; they were the direct product of God’s judgement and wrath. Furthermore, is it wise to breed with cursed people’s, such as the modern Japhethites choosing to breed with the modern Hamites? Remember, 1 John 2:15-17 says, “15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” Also, John 15:19 reads, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” Mixing is a modern, worldly trend, and it is mentally bereft to accept that God approves of the systematic extermination of the Japhetic race at the behest of evil Western leadership.
However, the most damning piece of evidence opposed to integration and amalgamation of the races exists in Genesis 11, in the very first book of the Holy Bible. This passage gravely chronicles the story of the Tower of Babel. In this bit of Biblical history, God deliberately separated the humans living within that ancient metropolitan city so as to prevent them from creating a singular language, culture, and nation, disobeying His command to spread throughout Earth and multiply within their own lands. At no point in Christ’s ministry or in the Great Commission does the Bible purport the idea of endless mixing and destruction of cultures but to spread the Gospel to all peoples, two very different ideas. While most verses quoted on this topic are usually pulled from the Old Testament, James 1:17, Hebrews 13:8, Numbers 23:19, Malachi 3:6, and other passages make it abundantly clear God does not change. Jesus Christ stated in Matthew 5:17, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” He did not nullify the Old Testament but instead fulfilled and vindicated its very reason for existence. It is indescribably foolish to ascribe and create sins that do not exist within the Bible. It is also quite asinine to believe a supermajority of Christians who lived prior to the Civil Rights Movement of the mid 20th Century were actually incorrect and not true Christians to begin with. This is an arrogant and prideful belief catalyzed among churches and church people more concerned with the comings and goings of the world than that of the scriptures. The segregationists were more than biblically justified.
Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett at an Ole Miss ballgameWith Jim Crowism extinguished and its true history shrouded in lies compounded on some of its flaws, it may appear jarring to a contemporary reader to endorse the idea that current developments necessitate its partial return. Blending the elements of Jim Crowism and paternalism contains the potential for wholly positive social reformations. Though this section is largely based on predictions, idealism, and conjecture, it is not unreasonable to introduce some ideas of old segregationism into contemporary circumstances. Firstly, it is paramount to acknowledge racial differences and race relations today. Lower than they have ever been since the Civil Rights movement, it would possibly be a worthwhile idea to allow more freedom of association, allowing for differing demographics to purposefully choose which schools they enroll in, which businesses they frequent, which employees they hire, which customers they sell to, which individuals allowed into private clubs and fraternities, and which neighborhoods they live in based on racial and religious factors. This, of course, would come with the caveat of fair economic opportunities and political participation. Regarding political representation, removing the poll tax was an asininely bad move. While a poll tax per se is not necessary, providing proof of paying taxes would solve numerous issues with rooting out reprehensible characters from office and is an increasingly popular idea not uncommonly heard in public political discussions among the Southern populace. This would allow for more “voting for the person” as opposed to belligerently “voting for the party.” Lastly, focusing more so on populist policies in favor of the working and middle classes, particularly the available pipelines between the two, and social morality as opposed to focusing on political parties and racial issues would further mend relations between competing factions. These policies would not be difficult to implement and only require a modicum of common sense.
A long, arduous, and tumultuous nature often characterizes the Jim Crow era, yet in depth research of its policies and history contradict these descriptors. Upon inspection of the legal, social, and Biblical arguments, as well as the circumstances of each, of Jim Crowism only vindicates its previous implementation. The impenitent loathing contemporary society holds for such an era stems from the lies sold to it and the opposition it holds to delving deeply into its history, often prevented from encountering said history due to the suppression of sources. Understanding of segregationism and adopting a handful of its ideas opens the possibility for adopting solutions to the present irrational, preposterous social qualms which, if previously handled correctly, may not even have catalyzed.

The International Criminal Court has only been around since 2002. However, the concept is older. Ostensibly, it’s about adjudicating war crimes and genocide, but the idea goes back to the tribunals at Nuremberg. This was mostly a Jewish operation. Although it’s famed now through their dishonest promotion, it was criticized by prominent Americans at the time as being a flagrant violation of justice.
For one thing, under a fair legal code, a crime must violate a law that existed prior to the commission of the crime. Not so with Nuremberg. Moreover, a confession obtained under threats and torture doesn’t constitute sufficient proof of guilt. It actually amounts to a reasonable doubt the accused isn’t guilty.
Third, why is something that transpires in a war criminal conduct if you lose but not if you win? One could easily make a case that any single crime corroborated by a German confession was no worse than the firebombing of Dresden, which became a signature tactic of the winning side holding the tribunals.
Starvation in concentration camps occurred under German custody, but that was in conjunction with German starvation due to blockade and bombing. Not so with the side holding the tribunals, which deliberately killed millions of Germans after the war.
If the goal is cost-effective extermination, simply put the victims in an open field and deny them sustenance. Quickly, they will lose the strength to resist and perish. The Allies proved this obvious concept using German POWs in camps on the Rhine after the war was over. There’s no need to gas anyone or build an elaborate industrial complex the size of a city.

“they were set up to prevent such horrors, to prevent future genocides” – What he means these courts are there to punish those standing up to Jews, not to prevent Jews from conducting a genocide. He’s correct that this is outrageous to Jews.The whole point of these legal mechanisms is for Jews to use them against their victims, not prosecuting cannibals from Africa. That’s what provokes such blind rage out of Jews. These are their weapons of their contrivance, not what their enemies get to use against them. These standards set out by Jews were never meant to be applied objectively to Jews.
Also, the notion that Jews can be held accountable for their actions elicits hysteria all on its own. This is a key part of their psychology and also their Satanic religion. If you listen to the video above, such dynamics are at play behind the sheer hypocrisy and unreality of his arguments.
If you get angry and start yelling at someone, what’s your dog going to do in response? Just sit there and wag his tail or start barking and growling at the guy? There are campaign donations, the Scofield Bible, etc. On a basic level though, this is what’s going on with our Republican officials and the ICC.
It’s best to interpret the threat letter they sent to the ICC from this angle. I’m quite skeptical they possess a grasp of history and the Jews any firmer than your dog’s grasp of what’s going on with you.

Netanyahu has been going on and on about the Holocaust and how the ICC will prosecute Israel. However, the ICC hasn’t announced it’d be doing anything of the sort. In other words, Republican snarling is entirely at the behest of their masters. It’s not about the merits of a particular legal case. Apparently, this threat letter against the court was from April but the public is finding out about it now.
Important to note as well is the universal legal principle that threatening the personnel of a court and their families isn’t how a case should be contested unless you’re Pablo Escobar. Collective punishment is against international law so threatening someone’s family for any reason would be a violation.

When Jews claim there’s no moral equivalence between what Jews are doing and what anyone else has done in the past, bear in mind this has a dual meaning beyond the obvious inference that Jews should be above criticism. What they’re referring to is “moral equivalence.” You might’ve noticed they invoke this phrase quite a bit.
As Jews believe themselves alone to have souls and the rest of us to be merely disposable cattle, anything done to Jews is immeasurably worse than anything else which has ever been done to anyone else or that Jews could ever possibly do to anyone else. Whether the offense against Jews was made up by Jews isn’t the salient issue. Jewish hypocrisy can’t exist according to their understanding of reality.
Following this Satanic line of reasoning, none of the rest of us have any legitimate interests of our own. Thus, nothing a Jew could do to us would constitute a legitimate transgression. That’s how we get the bizarre sophistry entailed in the “working definition of antisemitism” from the IHRA which has overwhelming bipartisan support to become law in America:
“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
This could mean anything and thus absolutely includes every single Jewish value, action, or aspect of their influence. This is quite simple to understand, but they provide elaboration to make it seem like some other principle is at work. Here’s an example:
However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.
So, you can criticize Israel if you’re not:
Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
What this means is that since no other democratic nation has pushed 2 million people off their land and confined them in an open-air prison zone, which it’s now methodically leveling without regard to human life using American aerial bombs and demolition operations by soldiers, Israel can’t be accused of this because that would constitute antisemitism.
So, in order to not be antisemitic one would have to accuse another democratic nation of the aforementioned set of transgressions, and next criticize Israel for also committing these transgressions that the other democratic nation isn’t committing. In other words, you must negate your entire original point and present yourself as a schizophrenic.
There’s no way to reconcile Jewish power and behavior to reality. No sophistry renders this possible. The problem is compounded by their escalating misdeeds at this stage of the current iteration and the consequences for everyone else, most of whom eventually can’t help but notice. Jews are running out of time.

I’ve never been one to require much convincing on the subject of things going wrong around America. Sometimes, however, in order to write for ID, I find myself having to suspend my de-sensitivity in order to maintain perspective on the sheer insanity of this place. For example, I was sipping my coffee this morning and scrolling through the Daily Mail when I came across the following headline:
How furry convention descended into orgy of sex, violence and destruction as diaper clad adults dressed as cuddly animals trashed host hotel https://t.co/mdS31HkrBN pic.twitter.com/Maqtl4Lfkf
— Daily Mail Online (@MailOnline) May 5, 2024
This isn’t exactly a subject that piques my interest, especially as someone who’s been writing about Satanic pedophiles, child trannies, nuclear war, the apocalypse, etc. Why I clicked was the sub headline with the year 2015 in it.
Back in 2015, I had no idea what a “furry” was beyond the adjective for animals just like the term “incel” and all of this other shit. If you’re a normal man born in the 80’s with a healthy frame of reference, none of it makes any sense. To illustrate, I’d spent most of 2015 working in China. I can explain the concept of “f* who dress up as animals and rail each other in the ass” in Chinese to a Chinaman. That’s easy.
The problem is that it sounds too nuts for anyone who hasn’t spent time in a country as sick as America to grasp. You might as well tell them you were abducted and probed by aliens, it makes you sound like you’re a deranged pervert just for bringing it up. China has some serious problems, but this ain’t one. They have censors who understand this stuff so they can ban it when they see it, but the average person is blissfully unaware.
If somebody did try to hold a furry convention in a Chinese city, I’m certain it would be dealt with by the authorities and never make the news as the authorities try to do with anything embarrassing to them. The citizens would go about their business ignorant of the depravity somebody attempted to perpetrate in their municipality. It’s impossible to have a functional society with demented filth being propagated. This is rather simple.

Absolutely, be extremely worried.On some level, there is humor to the situation. The furry convention laid waste to a Hilton, even to the point of deliberately flooding it with sewage which then leaked into the basement and took out the hotel’s servers.
It’s legal in Seattle to be a miscreant living on the streets while getting your drug money through petty crime and these freaks still managed to get themselves banned from all hotels in the city. So, that’s really saying something:
Permanently plastered in the annals of internet history, the event started to go off the rails when someone purposely loosened a bolt on one of the Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center’s toilets, causing it to flood instantly.
The floor was soon filled with two inches of putrid toilet water – the first sign hosts had overestimated the wholesomeness of their guests, and were losing control.
Things only worsened from there – as attendees indulged in drink and drugs that eventually gave way to destruction. A series of arrest ensued, as attendees donned diapers and even went as far to defecate in a pool. A hot tub was also flooded, when a person shoved towels into the pump filling it with water. The hotel was left in ruins.
If you’re destroying yourself, why not destroy the hotel as well? Let’s read on:
As these diaper-wearing hooligans openly roamed the halls, others began hurling the items – some of them soiled – out onto the hotel gardens and inside its stairwells.
A few hours later, the diaper throwing phenomenon had worsened, with some being found on people’s cars, full of excrement.
‘Some people at this con are so classy,’ one attendee wrote at the time.
By the next day, the festival’s last, the hotel was in tatters.
It’s amazing the extent to which freaks are able to hold our society hostage. This particular event was called “RainFurrest” so maybe the hotel staff thought it was some sort of environmental convention. The average American is only semi-literate these days and most can’t spell correctly from their own knowledge. Honestly, If I’d only seen a few of furries, I’d probably have assumed it was for a kid’s birthday party or something.
When 2,700 of them showed up, that’s when I’d be searching for a reason to get rid of them. Hilton is a giant multinational company, the revenue involved was trivial. Somehow, the staff put up with this event until it was over. You can actually make a legal case that your company was mistreating you by making you work somewhere feces were being flung unless you signed up for a job at a mental hospital.
They had plenty of reasons to shut this thing down, but they just took the abuse instead. I’ve heard the America described as an “open air insane asylum“. This isn’t a bad description, but asylums are there to treat the patient’s insanity or in the very least, keep them away from everyone else. Is that what’s going on around here?
I’m not sure where this furry thing came from but I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been around for very long and thus it can be hailed as an evil spawned in our modern nightmare. Trannies pop up on historical timelines right before catastrophe. They’re not a new thing.
I’m not sure how to interpret the furries in this regard, because we’ve never seen them before. Adolf Hitler never made speeches about how the Jews wouldn’t be turning any more Germans into teddy bears, for instance. To the best of my knowledge, nobody was dressing up as cartoon animals during the late states of Rome, either. We’ll just have to wait and find out, that’s the fun part about America.

Never intervene when the other guy is messing up. This should not be hard. It involves patience and standing firm. We have examples even in our recent political history. A famous American political example of the Napoleon quote “never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake” was the 1964 presidential campaign between LBJ and Barry Goldwater. JFK’s assassination created a subdued early campaign, the GOP went through a bitter liberal wing-conservative wing primary fight and Goldwater spent months promoting his true conservative nature, which was a bit out of step with the national mood. No Republican was winning in ‘64, but Goldwater underperformed as the electoral realignment was just getting started. During the 1964 campaign, Johnson’s team refrained from directly engaging with Goldwater’s more conservative positions, allowing Goldwater to make critical mistakes that the media could frame as extreme.
LBJ’s campaign team recognized the opportunity presented by Goldwater’s polarizing positions. Rather than directly attacking Goldwater or debating his ideas, Johnson’s team used a strategy of amplifying Goldwater’s more controversial statements and letting voters infer. The most famous examples of this strategy occurred with the release of the “Daisy” advertisement. The television ad featured a young girl counting daisy petals while a voiceover counted down to a nuclear explosion, juxtaposed with images of nuclear destruction. The implication was clear. Goldwater’s statements on nuclear weapons in Vietnam could lead to catastrophic consequences. While the ad never mentioned Goldwater by name, its message resonated with voters and reinforced concerns about Goldwater’s judgment and temperament. LBJ just let Goldwater talk.
The Right should sit tight, watching as deep blue cities and college administrators figure out how to handle protests. If they are soft, pro-Israel donors might change their 2024 plans. Voters at home will see chaos and woke mobs running wild. Chaos from protests helped Trump in 2016. If they beat down protesters, it is more chaos for voters to watch in already disorderly cities and the unique exception on the Left is reinforced demoralizing the Far Left and setting up a tense convention in Chicago. Maybe the Far Left stays home or protest votes in November. Biden’s team is caught catering to the AIPAC donor list and swing state Muslims. Let Biden and his hierarchy of political figures take the fall angering on side. Jumping in only substitutes a red flavored police villain for a blue one.
Let the Left police their own. This is an intra-Left battle. They are just fighting over the control of those education institutions and rhetoric that the Left will deploy for this small, foreign affair. College administrators are in a bind, but let them squirm. The pro-Israel donors have to realize that every single action they take now while still maintaining loyalty to the Left is doomed. They can blacklist doxxed protesters, but there are thousands who silently agree with the ideology. Those silent students will fill the institutions and have the same beliefs as the handful blacklisted. They lost the universities, and BDS measures were just a warning. If this is a fight between woke students, blue cities and anti-West administrators, let them sort it out.

It cannot be ignored that the White race, including Dixians, are facing dire demographic circumstances. It’s a trend that has hit every White country, including nations like Ireland where just 30 years ago large families were the norm rather than the exception. In some cases, the demographic decline has been going on for so long it can no longer be realistically fixed, as the last sizable generation of women are now past birthing age. Thankfully, Dixie is not at this point. Though our problems are great, they can be resolved, although this will not be an easy task. But remember – we are advocating for nothing less than a Free Dixie – a nation we can call our own – arising like a phoenix from the ashes of a decadent Yankee Empire. Nothing Southern Nationalists are fighting for can be easily won. And, in this struggle, assuring the survival of our people is absolutely paramount. There can be no Dixie if there are no Dixians.
We must reproduce more; it really is as simple as that. The reason for the decline of the White race is due to a decline in the White birthrate, not an insurmountably high birthrate from non-Whites. That point is important, because far too many in the Dissident Right have assumed that the non-White populations are especially high when they’re not. In the United States, their birthrate is, at best, barely above the replacement rate. It’s important to note that, because that assumption often leads many on the Dissident Right to go down a path that ends up backfiring – namely open support for racially specific abortions that only serve to horrify Christians. The path to victory must lie in increasing our own birthrate. Above all else, remember that victory is ours for the taking. With that being said, there are several steps I believe can increase our Southern birthrate. These will be outlined below and should in no way be considered as an extensive or exhaustive list.
Normalize Large FamiliesLately, I’ve been reading several articles about North American families, who, upon realizing what a threat to their souls the United States has become, have decided to move their families to Russia. And while I do understand their reasoning, this is not something I can endorse. For almost 400 years my family has called Dixie our home. I will stay and fight for her.
Still, something I did notice is how much better received these families are in Russia than they are in the American Empire. While large families are met with bewilderment, stares, and disparaging remarks in the United States, in Russia, they are seen as a positive good. To increase our birthrate, we must welcome large Dixian families with open arms. Treat these families as a blessing for Dixie, because they are. Large families will form the backbone of Southern freedom.
Discourage the DINK MentalityDINKs (“Dual Income, No Kids”) are those that are proudly child free and have no intention of ever having children (other than “fur babies”), as that would cut into their free time. Obviously, we should give people the benefit of the doubt here. There are people, through no fault of their own, that cannot have children. And since this is a deeply personal, sensitive subject, it does make sense they would not want to talk about it. However, those who are boastfully child-free and belittle those that have children are a very different matter. Such a mentality has no place in Dixie, and those who encourage it should be ashamed. It is important to remember just how unnatural this mentality is. Humans are biological creatures and want to reproduce – we instinctively want to pass down our genes. The rise of the DINKs reveals a society completely out of touch with biological reality and in its death stage. To save our land, we must fight against this antinatalism psychology tooth and nail.
Pro-Family ProgramsI think there is also a place for pro-family government programs in a Free Dixie. Though many on the Right balk at this notion, we must understand that we are in an emergency situation and any and all measures to get us out of this demographic predicament must be on the table. We can do as Hungary has done, and offer direct payments to parents for each child they have. It should be noted that we cannot adopt the anti-family policies of the Great Society. Rather, the payments will only be for two-parent, legally married, families with reasonable exceptions being made in the case of the death of a spouse or abandonment. But those are the exceptions, as a general rule, this program will be used for nationalistic and pro-family ends. Such policies are common for nationalist governments, as they understand their future lies in the youth. We must take from them as a means of getting out of this demographic spiral.
Could such a program be abused? Perhaps, though steps can be taken to minimize such abuses. But none of this will matter if we are rendered a permanent minority in our own land.
Studying history reveals what an outlier the United States, especially since 1960, has become, with particular attention needed on how the American Right understood the world. The hyper-individualistic Right of this era, with its emphasis on limiting the number of its children and bragging about how soon they can get their children to leave the house, is in stark contrast to almost all other societies in history. Multi-generational households and desiring large families was once common sense. It is no surprise that, in rejecting all of these bedrock principles, the American post-World War II populace lost their nation so quickly. They were working on a foundation of sand, whereby capitalism, which in practice meant little more than complete deference to Big Business, was more valued than the nation. The chickens are coming home to roost and the United States is in its last days.
By bringing back the pro-family mentality of healthy societies, Dixie can arise from the chaos and take her place among the nations of the world.

While most of Biden’s administration is blamed on the geriatric Yankee from Scranton, Pennsylvania, many on the Right seem to forget he has an entire cabinet (his handlers) who are largely doing the real day-to-day work while Biden eats ice cream. Many on the Dissident Right like to point out the large number of Jews in the Biden cabinet, which is certainly a true fact, but many neglect to mention just how non-Southern the cabinet actually is. In this article, we’ll examine the origins and some of the background of Biden’s wicked cabinet of crooks.
Let’s start out with the cackling witch herself, Kamala Harris. Harris’ whoring career and gender is often the topic surrounding her, but one should also consider her racial origin. Her mother was Shyamala Gopalan born in British India in 1938, while her father, Donald J. Harris, is a Jamaican mulatto. Neither were even born in the United States but instead allowed in during the 1960s, met at the notorious UC Berkeley, and had Kamala in 1964. Clearly, her family is anything but “American,” much less Southern. Moving onto the Big Three: Attorney General Merrick Garland, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen. All three are Jewish. Garland is from Chicago, Illinois and Blinken is from Yonkers, New York. The Federal Reserve “Queen” Yellen was born in Brooklyn, New York before making the trip to California to teach at, of course, UC Berkeley.
The next member of the Biden administration is Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, who Republicans recently tried, and like usual, failed to impeach. Mayorkas wasn’t even born in the United States but instead Cuba. His parents were Cuban (and Jewish) refugees who fled and brought baby Mayorkas with them much to the detriment of Dixie and Heritage America. While making a pit stop in Florida, they would make the leap to Los Angeles, California. Another fun reminder is Alejandro Mayorkas graduated from UC Berkeley in 1981. Wonder if he ever ran into Professor Yellen, although I don’t care enough to look that up.
Finishing off with the B-team members of the cabinet, let’s move to the Confederate-hating Sectary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Austin (spoiler) is the only member of the cabinet actually from a Southern state, born in Alabama and raised in Georgia. However, Austin is black and, thus like many of his racial peers, has nothing but hate for traditional Alabama and Georgia. Austin does probably win the contest when it comes to tracing his ancestry the furthest back on “American soil.” That actually may not be true if you count Pueblo Injun Deb Haaland, who was born in Arizona although she defines herself as New Mexican, or “35th generation New Mexican” to be exact. To nobody’s surprise, Creepy Joe made her Secretary of the Interior.
Compared to Secretary of Labor Julie Sue, she may indeed be very “American.” If you can’t tell from the name, Sue is Asian and specifically Chinese, though she was born in Wisconsin before her Chinese/Taiwanese parents moved out to California. Julie Sue, at least, didn’t attend UC Berkeley. Speaking of California, I should probably mention the last Californian in the cabinet – this is Secretary of Health and Human Resources Xavier Becerra. Becerra, despite being born in California, has Mexican parents, which makes him Mexican in my book. Although, at this rate, he can probably just call himself a Californian. He did serve as the state’s attorney general during the Trump administration.
Moving away from the West Coast, we should inspect the rest of the cabinet starting with the rainbow flag carrying Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigeig, former mayor of South Bend, Indiana. South Bend is only a few miles south of Michigan and very far away from the more culturally Southern part of the state near Kentucky. South Bend is also the home and resting place of Radical Republican Schuyler Colfax, who was Grant’s running mate in 1868 when the two campaigned on crushing Southern backlash to Reconstruction (a mere trivia fact and one which is fitting with the reputation of South Bender Pete).
Moving west of South Bend and the far western flank of Yankeedom, we see the adopted home of longtime Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. Vilsack was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and went further north to get his education in upstate New York at Hamilton College. Vilsack would proceed to make the move to Iowa, where he’d be elected governor in 1998 and again in 2002. From there, the native Pennsylvanian would get recruited by Obama as his Secretary of Agriculture in 2009. One can speculate this is due to Yankee Iowa voting for Obama the year prior and Mr. Vilsack being out of a job, unless you count his brief campaign for president the year prior. Either way, Biden decided to make him the Secretary of Agriculture again in 2021.
Traveling north of the increasingly conservative-turning Iowa, we have Secretary of Veteran Affairs Denis McDonough of Minnesota, who supposedly has communist sympathies, served in the Obama administration, and is actually not a veteran. Circling over to Michigan, we have Canadian-born Jennifer Granholm, the Secretary of Energy. She, like Vilsack, served as governor of her state from 2003 to 2011, giving Yankee Michiganders a preview of a jezebel governorship before they asked for second helpings in 2018 by electing Gretchen Whitmer. Granholm was actually born in Vancouver, British Columbia to Canadian parents. I should also mention she graduated from UC Berkeley in 1984.
No anti-Southern cabinet would be complete without a few New Englanders and Biden, like usual, didn’t forget about them. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo was Governor of Rhode Island (2015-2021). The last cabinet member is Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona whose parents are Puerto Rican. Despite this, Connecticut Yankees felt confident enough to elect him their Commissioner of Education in 2018, which he served as until being tapped as another Latino Affirmative Action hire by Creepy Joe in 2021. Currently, he’s trying to shut down the largest Christian university in the United States at the behest of the purple haired tattooed Yankee Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro.
To sum things up, Biden’s cabinet is everything our Confederate ancestors warned us about. The executive branch is effectively a gaggle of foreigners, Yankees, “people of color,’” and Jews, headed by a career liar who can barely speak half the time. There’s not a single Southerner in the cabinet. Austin, the only black in the cabinet, is there to appease blacks in Georgia and the Deep South who like the idea of a strong black man in uniform. The state of the executive branch is a testament to just how much Southerners have lost control of the Democratic Party, the United States, and even the ability to get token gestures. The Biden administration clearly hates Dixie. They also hate “Middle America,” as the only person in the cabinet from that region is maybe Vilsack. He was last serving as governor in 2007, well over a decade ago. It’s quite telling that Biden (and his handlers) didn’t even bother picking a Latino or Blue Dog Democrat from Texas or Florida.
Let this show all Southerners and Heritage America that we need to focus on secession and not trying to reform the American Empire. This new America, one where secession doesn’t happen, is going to be reflective of Biden’s cabinet. There’s no fixing the Union, only breaking away from it.
When Dixie secedes, we will make sure to have none of the scum of Biden’s regime in our new Southern executive branch.

The post Biden’s Handlers and their Origins appeared first on Identity Dixie.
A set of salient issues escape the comprehension of what appears to be a majority of the population. For example: climate change, green energy, the war in Ukraine, or migration. For issues like migration, they seem to suddenly get it once they’re inundated personally but no reaction is elicited based on pondered implications when they see it in the media happening someplace else.
Certain attributes that lead to credulity are obvious: ignorance, disinterest, stupidity, and a need to believe that things are going fine because, on an emotional level, the implications otherwise would be unbearable. Unfortunately, many white people will also calibrate their opinions based on what’s marketed to them as the view of the moral and sophisticated in contrast to the proles’ take on things. Reason or evidence plays no role in this orientation. I’ve written about this quite a bit.
Then, we have the logical fallacies to which many are susceptible. Principally, if “experts” are making a point, it must be true or if everyone believes something this is evidence of its validity, and the most tiresome, that exceptions disprove a rule. Often the exceptions are from a movie, such as a black woman being a brilliant non-diversity scientist.
The COVID vaccines are the most frightening demonstration thus far that some combination of the aforementioned deficiencies blind most of the population. This must have been figured out by nefarious entities long before we had to live through the proof of this concept or even prior to Edward Bernays setting up shop. How could a “mark of the beast” function if everyone said “no“, or even half the people refused?
Another issue is a sort of narcissistic confirmation bias. What I mean is that the lack of contradictions being presented to someone from an elite group, along with the perception that its members can tell the masses anything without consequences, seems to give their dishonesty and disingenuous intentions credibility inside their own psyche. Perhaps this is a purely Jewish phenomenon, but it would explain why the neocons, including their current mascot Antony Blinken, can move from debacle to debacle self-assured of themselves despite the escalatory nature of these debacles.

Setting all of this aside, there’s a phenomenon that doesn’t appear to get discussed. I’ll refer to it as an inability to perform realistic abstraction. To illustrate, many people, including my former comrades with advanced military educations, can’t consider in abstraction something for which they have no personal reference, despite the clarity of the math.
For instance, HIMARS was supposed to be this system that would stop the Russian military in its tracks. Well, the Russians have a variety of MLRS systems but 1,200 of the closest equivalents to HIMARs are on active duty and roughly 2,000 are in storage. What difference is a handful of HIMARs supposed to make? Conventional artillery shells comprise the vast majority of what’s been fired anyways. The fact that the scale of this conflict is something for which the GWOT furnishes no insights might explain why they put so much faith in the notion.
This applies to many aspects of the conflict, which features a line of contact that would stretch from DC down to the middle of Florida. The modern United States has never operated on this scale, is it a wonder they think small quantities of equipment can make a difference?
Iraq was basically contested along a corridor from Basra to Baghdad. How could anyone with this conflict as their frame of reference think like the Russian General Staff planning World War 3 in Ukraine with the experiences of World War 2 in Ukraine in mind? This differential alone would explain quite a bit.

A war on Russia in Russia isn’t working without our brilliant tactics, that’s it. If only he’d been there to advise Napoleon or the Wehrmacht. You could scale that up to the ratio of the Earth to the Sun, a ball of superheated plasma so massive by comparison that the Earth orbits around it. Leaving the chemistry aside, which is going to have a decisive effect on the Earth’s temperature? The varying heat put off by the Sun or carbon? Nobody really has a frame of reference from their daily life about how big this planet even is, let alone the Sun. Once pondered, it boggles the mind.
Many people are comforted by the idea of wind turbines, devices they’ve been told are green saviors of an existential crisis. Provide them with the data on the annual output of a given nuclear plant and do the math on how many wind turbines (the term “windmills” gets used because this evokes pre-industrial agriculture) based on average output it would take to replace this plant. Visualizing all of these turbines in a row would be quite a stretch, or even where to find enough flat land to create the epic bird killing line. This, however, requires some intellectual curiosity and appreciation for scale.

The more cynical among us realize the world isn’t a cartoon. Therefore, you can’t just draw what you want and add captions. I suppose this brings me to my final point for today: to successfully confront lies and nonsense, one must point it out, counter with the truth, and then explain why most people have accepted the contrary thus far. But, somebody would have to keep an open mind and be interested in the first place.
Even though the percentage of the population to which these two conditions apply is rather low, our potential audience is vast enough that producing content is a worthwhile endeavor. I suppose I’ll leave it on a good note today.
The post Principles of Discernment appeared first on Identity Dixie.
We’re faced with a lot going on in our lives. Many of these things will transpire later and are potentially beyond our ability to influence. Therefore, it’s natural to feel a certain level of unease, usually in proportion to our cognizance of such matters. In the white community, we refer to this unwelcome sensation as “stress.”
Moreover, there are many actions we’d like to take, but must desist due to our innate orientation towards the future consequences such actions would incur. We simply can’t help ourselves in this regard. Ours is quite a stifling existence.
Often, I feel the self-imposed oppression on my life as an invisible force freezing me to the ground, preventing me from leaping towards desire. Frigid, like the blue blood flowing through my Caucasian veins, yet without the warm promise of renewal as it pumps once again through my heavy heart.

No reason is mentioned, not that anybody expected one. I often find myself opining on various matters: society, history, geopolitics, rhetoric, various technical topics, profound questions of good versus evil. What’s this really doing to lighten up my day? You see, my interest in all of these things manifests itself concordantly with my inability to live in the moment and take various actions as it would please me to do so.
If I was just doing what I felt like doing whenever I felt like doing it, I wouldn’t find myself mired in this intellectual morass. I would, however, find myself mired in prison, a hospital ward, or an early grave. Taking heed of potentialities, I’m incapable of squaring this circle.
If I was black though, such geometric abstractions would flutter around the ether beyond my consciousness. The cross-disciplinary inclination to apply pretty much any math at all to my journey through life would consist perhaps of simple arithmetic while I listened to the judge at my sentencing, such as could be imparted to me during my time at ~~a warehouse~~ school.
Again, as a black man, I wouldn’t bother much with the math. But still, it’d probably be interesting trying to link a present consequence to a past action without being able to grasp the mystery. Questions are easy but the answers instill doubt. You see, if I were to shoot a sandwich artist in the face at Subway over mayonnaise, I’d already know where I’d be spending the rest of my days. Where’s the fun in that? This form of prescience feels claustrophobic.
That’s why it’d be fascinating to ponder the quandary as if trying to identify a Lorenz Strange Attractor within an unfathomably complex system. Then, I’d shout “fuck you cracka bitch!” as hurled myself over the bench to pummel the judge.
She deserves it, so you act. Justice is the only concern. To quote T.S. Elliot:
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
This is actually an unbearably white inhibition. T.S. Elliot characterizes it for what it is, a shadow that cowers us in sadness. He shall not tremble in silence beside the banks of the tumid river:
This is why I delight in the levity of the African American experience. Below, we’re treated to the spectacle of a cafeteria confrontation. Metaphorically speaking, white school officials are supposed to pour cold water on such encounters. Moreover, white people know that insults are insufficient legal justification for physical violence. That’s why it happens mostly outside of bars in our context, with the belligerent actions being fueled by alcohol.
The student in the video below appears to be a connoisseur of legumes perhaps around the age of 13, although in terms of leaf blowers, age is just a number. Au contraire, age is more than just a number when a teacher attacks a student. The fact that a teacher beat a student can put decades onto what otherwise would be a scuffle in terms of incarceration. That number might be one to behold.

Substitutes have no licensing exams, so it’s actually probably more difficult to get hired as a prison guard. Ain’t that America. At age 27, one could be placed in a significant position of leadership. This is the average age of a captain in the U.S. Army, for example. Again, this imposes such burdens as leadership, forethought, and nuance. If you’re black, 27 is still young enough not to take disrespect from anyone. In many ways, that’s a better deal.
In that moment, which to them has the psychological dimensions of a tunnel, rules don’t apply. It’s simply the thrill of the pursuit. The honor both preserved and won through the epic struggle of combat. Again, this is me applying white idealism embodied in historical deeds like the charge of the Scots Greys at the Battle of Waterloo. We make things so complicated for ourselves.
Unfortunately, the African American impulse reaction results in a crime scene and a brief story on the evening news rather than a legendary painting by Lady Butler. How many times have we come across a story featuring “mass shooting” in conjunction with “rap concert“, “night club“, “block party“, “state fair“, etc.? They don’t even get acknowledged for being black, it’s always some euphemism.
If I were black, this would piss me off. Then again, black people don’t care about the news. Must be nice. Introspection is a burden all its own, I’d rather be looting. But, I don’t. I guess that’s for another article.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
It goes without saying that any visitor to this website is familiar with the text of the Second Amendment; I would also expect that every reader owns at least one firearm, be it a rifle or a pistol. The discourse surrounding the Second Amendment in the United States has always been a contentious one, between those who understand that liberty comes from the end of a gun and those who ought to be on the receiving end of one.
In particular, the topic of fully-automatic firearms is one that has seen the de facto criminalization of such weapons from reaching the hands of the average citizen. The Left says that these are “weapons of war,” and calls for banning “assault weapons” (semi-automatic weapons that look scary to liberals who’ve never shot a gun). Whereas, the Right invokes “shall not be infringed” to protect the right to bear said weapons; although, the mainstream Right is very hesitant to advocate for fully-automatic firearms in the hands of the citizenry. But it is here where the Left is correct, but for the wrong reasons: it is true that fully-automatic weapons are designed specifically for war as they make killing the enemy a whole lot easier – however, that quality is why having them in the hands of the citizenry is so important. Expecting normal citizens to fight against foreign invaders or tyrannical governments with lever-action rifles, shotguns, or semi-automatic AR-15s only is absurd and makes the preservation of liberty and national sovereignty much more difficult.
That being said, it must also be noted that the Second Amendment was written for the purposes of arming “well-regulated” militias, not guys who want a shiny new toy to play with at the gun range. Revolution and warfare are serious issues, and too many on the Right want the benefits without any the duties that follow. I (and surely you, too) have seen copious social media posts from “patriots” who genuinely believe that, if a mass gun confiscation or civil war were to occur, they would break out their gun safe and wait patiently for the Feds to come to their neighborhood, going door-to-door, entering in single-file lines as they shoot them and any Tannerite traps in their house in a Rambo-style Home Alone strategy. As comical a scenario as this sounds, too many believe this and think nothing more of it. The grim reality is that if the government really wanted to disarm the population, there are far better ways of doing so – and indeed, some of the things I will list they have done. They can:
There are more ways not mentioned, but the point is that they don’t have to go full Lexington and Concord to get what they want. Your rights can easily be stripped away without even a single shot fired. So, what is to be done, not just for the current situation but in a future where Dixie is a free country? Si vis pacem, para bellum.
We must recognize that it is not the weapons in themselves that win wars, but the people becoming proficient in them and coordinating in all things, like logistics, OPSEC, and organizational structure. These things take time and effort, and the best place to hone these skills are in a militia where one can meet like-minded compatriots to train for the defense of the homeland. Southern governors, mayors, and aldermen ought to pass laws that allow for the ownership of fully-automatic weapons for all Southern citizens provided they join a militia where they can train and be organized against those hostile to our people and nation. Under this legal system, the guns themselves are not registered – one can be a member of a militia while only possessing something simple like a revolver; it merely allows for anonymity in regards to ownership of various gun types, while simultaneously demanding a degree of civic responsibility from those who wish to step up their arsenal and purchase a M249 SAW. Be it checking a tyrannical abuse or defense of your locality, it is good to be prepared in material and training, and such an act would allow for both.
Note: This is not a FedPost, nor should it be construed in any fashion as condoning, approving, or advocating for illegal activity. Rather, a commentary for fully-automatic weapons in the hands of the citizenry of a Free Dixie.
The post Gun Rights Revisited appeared first on Identity Dixie.
In the Anglo context, it’s not as if Jews haven’t been wormed into power for years. In the past though, it wasn’t so overt. For instance, the British elite from Edward VII to Winston Churchill had been in debt to the Jews and also morally bankrupt.
It’s not just the bribes, it’s always the money in combination with elite character flaws that gets Jews what they want. It was the same thing with Woodrow Wilson. The average person wouldn’t have known about any of this stuff at the time, and still doesn’t know our political leadership is making decisions based on Jewish interests due to their personal greed and other character flaws.
However, Americans back then didn’t have the modern Republican Party being so pathetically slavish to the Jews. There are many things to cringe over, but this is among the most egregious. Imagine thinking that campus protests are the biggest problem facing America these days. Republicans aren’t going to do anything about our existential problems. They can’t even vote for some farcical border security measures, but campus protests put them into hysterics.

Republicans can’t even accept that if Jews are conducting a genocide funded and facilitated by America in full view of the world, students are going to protest about it on campus. That’s just inevitable. Jews get to do the genocide, they get the money and the weapons, but they can’t also get exemption from criticism at American schools. What they’re doing is too evil for that one.
Students feel good about themselves for protesting a genocide and, as leftists, they can’t appreciate the amount of leverage that Jews have over their lives because that’s only something that a Nazi would believe. They also can’t comprehend that Israel is the same thing as “the Jews“, since that would be an antisemitic canard, and thus are unable to fathom why all of the Jews are freaking out about them.
They feel a moral confirmation about protesting genocide, and there’s a lot of them so it’s hard to ruin every single life as was done to the Charlottesville protesters. This presents a conundrum for the Jews, as ruling based on lies always does.
Republicans are calling for another Kent State Massacre and the police are getting quite rough with these students, unlike with BLM when they were free to rampage. This is something that people notice, and not just people like ourselves. Sure, there are MAGA types who like to see leftist protesters beaten up and arrested but that’s not a decisive demographic in America.

Pro-Hamas base? This is even more retarded than the CCP stuff. Did they send in the national guard to protect white people during the BLM carnage? Nope, and white people were under serious threat of physical harm. It’s all rather obvious that Jews are exercising massive influence in America. It doesn’t help having a rat run the state department and another be in charge of the border.
Potential puppets abound, but they don’t even have the finesse to use them anymore. This is late stage for them. There don’t seem to be any Bernard Baruch figures left. With each new debacle, there’s a group of Jews as its face. We have an administration run overtly by Jews, and a Republican “opposition” that worships them. Mostly, Jews used to just be “advisors” or “businessmen“.
The other thing working against them is that Jews always cite bogus atrocities. The 6 million of them who were exterminated in the Holocaust wasn’t even the first time they claimed 6 million of them were killed. They accused the Russians of this in the late nineteenth century in order to open up the West to Jewish migration out of the Russian Empire.
6 is the number of points on their demonic star, so it’s not hard to see how they arrived at this figure. As far as gas is concerned, the first time this accusation seems to have been employed was nearly 2,000 years earlier against the residents of Alexandria, Egypt. It was claimed they were killing Jews with smoke because they’d become exhausted by the physicality of murdering so many Jews.
With these atrocity frauds, there’s always a sadistic sexual component as the perpetrators lose all semblance of their humanity to some sort of madness. With the Jews, it’s the same thing every single time. They’re always lying, swindling, exploiting, abusing, bribing the elites, and they’re always accusing others of horrific atrocities committed without any legitimate motive.
This how the Germans get accused of using masturbation machines on Holocaust victims or Hamas gets accused of cutting off breasts to play soccer with them while they’re battling a much larger and more sophisticated military force. In reality, this is just what’s going on in the mind of a Jew.
That’s also how we get Hamas burning up babies in ovens instead of something more original. Entire cities full of Germans and Japanese were incinerated at the behest of Jews to force unconditional surrender in World War 2, which neither country wanted and could’ve been negotiated to a favorable outcome for the Allies without such slaughters. Naturally, Jews accused the Germans of burning them up. Another thing they always do is accuse others of their crimes.

This time around, the crime they’re committing is so blatant that accusing their victims of trying to genocide Jews isn’t working on leftists. Republicans will parrot anything that Jews say, but that’s not going to mollify leftists on a campus, especially since they think Republicans are racists and despise them anyways. Mike Johnson, for example, has a black career criminal son who helps verify his “father” isn’t looking at porn using religious software.

Still a racist. Leftists understand the political situation in America just about as well as the average viewer of Fox News. There’s nothing the Republicans could ever do to prove they’re not racists. Saying they support immigration, but they just want it to be legal, is of zero utility. That’s simply who they are as Republicans, the party exclusively for white people.
So, Republican support for Israel’s genocide of brown people just makes sense in this context. Threatening to crush protesters doesn’t help their case, either. That Republicans are actually in support of an anti-white Jewish agenda as part of a fake political dialectic is something only Jews and dissidents could understand.

It’s time for Biden to call out the National Guard at our universities to protect Jewish Americans— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) April 22, 2024
Still a racist. When Jews can be verified to slaughtering babies in mass numbers, claiming without any proof that they’re not slaughtering babies in mass numbers, because Hamas was baking babies alive simply doesn’t work. Many find the comprehensive demolition of an area containing 2 million people outrageous, especially while they’re still inside of it.
In World War 2, there were serious misgivings about the terror bombing campaigns. Incinerating the population of a city isn’t a Christian tactic but nobody got to see how ugly that was up close through the media. As media technology changed, the bombing of Vietnam provoked mass outrage.
There were specific photos like the little girl running out of a napalmed village that set people off. Such images have been coming out of Gaza every day for over 6 months. In 2024, the Jews are just doing their usual thing, but everybody gets to watch and discuss on social media and Jews can’t curtail themselves in response. It’s the same thing every time, but the times change.
The nascent pogroms at Columbia have to stop TODAY, before our Jewish brethren sit for Passover Seder tonight. If Eric Adams won’t send the NYPD and Kathy Hochul won’t send the National Guard, Joe Biden has a duty to take charge and break up these mobs.

The best part about all of this is how Republicans barking for the blood of protesters against a genocide of brown people just makes it worse. How the Jewish pysop on America finally implodes remains to be seen, but this is a crucial part in that implosion, to be sure. The campus protests might just end with the semester, but the credibility of this Jewish system isn’t coming back.
In the meantime, I recommend the movie Zulu. This scene is what immediately popped into my mind when I saw all these Republicans calling for force.
The post Crush Them! appeared first on Identity Dixie.
``` Author’s Preface: As we all know, Southern history has been subjected to damnatio memoriae. As such, it is fit that this Southern Separatist website do all it can to preserve all aspects of Dixie's long, storied, and grim history.
The primary source and inspiration for this essay is Origins of the New South by C. Vann Woodward; however, the other sources listed at the end provided additional information as well. This essay was very comprehensive and can seem a bit vague; I cannot recommend Woodward's book enough and highly encourage you to read it. ```
Fifteen years have gone over the South, and she still sits crushed, wretched, busy displaying and bemoaning her wounds.
Whitelaw Reid in the New York Tribune, 1880
Damnatio memoriae is a Latin phrase which translates to “condemnation of memory.” This is the practice of erasing something from history, typically applied to a person. The phrase, while Latin, does not originate from Rome, despite being an action Romans commonly did, but supposedly originated in a thesis written in Germany in 1689. 21st Century Dixieland finds itself squarely within a macabre cocktail of damnatio memoriae and Neo-Abolitionist historiography it must unwilfully ingest at the behest of the impenitent, loathsome Potomac Regime imperialists and third-world immigrants. Whatever the current Leftist System deems useful history to utilize is subjected to a post-Civil Rights Era filter whilst the rest is erased from history and collective memory. The early Jim Crow and New South Era stands as a testament to this grievous erasure and malicious propaganda, arguably the most butchered period of Southern and American history. There has been a respectable catalogue of works over the years discussing the various historical topics and events of the period, but a sore few books and essays exist providing detailed defenses of the South or its perspective, much less an objective one. A dark, abhorrent, and appallingly bestial period of tumultuous political and societal movements punctuated by the ghosts of the ravaging of scorched earth warfare, social upheaval and inversion, collapse of established shibboleths, iconoclasm, industrialization, Christian Great Awakenings, economic suppression, and abject indigence comprised the early Jim Crow period and directly catalyzed its de jure birth. Commonly used as a moniker for moving Dixie forward into the Gilded Age and modernization of the 20th Century, the “New South” as a descriptor most prominently found usage during this same late-19th Century. This essay will discuss and detail this time between 1877 and 1913 which was the origin and genesis of the Jim Crow Era and the beginning of the New South.
To address the largest elephant in the room for this particular time in history, the beginnings of the Jim Crow era are not as black and white as often purported by the ignorant educated elite of the 21st Century, as stated multiple times in other essays published here. It is the looming shadow over that Southern “dark age” which haunts the era and relegates it to the forgotten aisle in the historic library. A multitude of social movements and changes occurred during this time and were instrumental in the organic development of segregationism and restrictions on voting rights.
The de jure Jim Crow South did not truly begin until 1890 in the state of Mississippi. Rural Southern populism spread like wildfire across Dixie during the 1880’s, a topic of which will be discussed in further detail later in this essay. This virulent populism threatened the stranglehold the corrupt Bourbons held on the indigent Southern states and relegated country folk to the forgotten and unrepresented outskirts and wilderness. Furthermore, these conservative Bourbons utilized and took advantage of the Negro votes, concentrated in the wealthier and more densely populated Black Belt and Lowland counties, to crush the rural Caucasian vote in many parts of the Deep South, with Mississippi, South Carolina, and Louisiana being majority Negro. The planter-patrician paternalism of the antebellum period reappeared in order to win the Negro vote, whom the lowlanders were already socially intimate with, but this was done by these elites in a far more crafty and guileful manner. Mississippi, being the most Negro, also manifested the most unignorably uproarious and acrimonious of grassroots populist movements during the 1880’s. It was also in desperate need of constitutional, social, and economic reform after the overthrow of the Radical Republicans. It was simply impossible for populism to achieve political success without addressing the Negro Question. The outcry for a constitutional convention grew so loud that the Delta Bourbons could no longer ignore it, acquiescing by allowing for a convention. It cannot be stressed enough that the animosity with which the Bourbons viewed lower class Whites is incommunicable.
The 1890 Mississippi Constitution was the true de jure beginning of the Jim Crow era. It was the ratification of that constitution which introduced poll taxes and literacy tests to Dixieland. Between 1890 and 1908, during what came to be known as the next stage Mississippi Plan, the first stage being the end of the Reconstruction era, Southern states drafted and ratified new constitutions which adopted this practice. Unfortunately for the rural White folk, the Bourbons had written a silver lining into these constitutions. The poll taxes and literacy tests also disfranchised many Whites as well. The Bourbons believed they had won by giving the populists what they wanted while also stripping them of many votes. This was ultimately unsuccessful as the populist sentiments only continued to grow throughout the 1890’s, many seeing the sleight of hand for what it was. The fervor and desperation of the populist Whites led to the adoption of Democratic Party White primaries between 1896 and 1906, beginning with South Carolina. After this point, agrarian populism finally flourished across Dixie after decades of campaigning and struggle, leading to the rise of the most prodigious and superlative of statesmen such as Theodore Bilbo, James Vardaman, Eugene Talmadge, Huey Long Jr., Strom Thurmond, Allan Shivers, George Wallace, Richard Russell, and several others.
While the Mississippi Plan got the ball rolling on voting restrictions, segregation of public spaces developed separately. The details for this are a bit fuzzy, some even asserting that segregation was originally a Northern practice and was adopted wholesale by the South. Arguably the primary reason for the development of these social customs arose due to the influx of Nigras and rural and Upland Whites into Southern cities and towns; they already disliked attending school and church together anyhow. Some criers of the New South movement supported it. Before the 1890’s, the South actually had infamously well integrated urban areas that the North often made note of, and the lowland areas saw a remarkably intimate relationship culture between the races. Whatever the case may be, public segregation got its start on train cars in the 1880’s. This phenomenon continued to grow until the Louisiana Separate Car Act of 1890 was challenged by the mixed-race man Homer Plessy. Ultimately, his challenge was brought before the Supreme Court of the United States which ruled in the landmark Plessy v. Ferguson case which ruled public segregation constitutional and established the “separate but equal” precedent. Now solidified by the SCOTUS, segregationists doubled down and continued enacting legislation sell into the 20th Century. This precedent would be a defining pillar of Southern society until 1954 when the Supreme Court overturned its previous ruling on a whim with the Brown v. Board of Education ruling.
With Jim Crow and segregation addressed, it is clear that Dixieland was in the midst of a volatile social situation, its worst since Reconstruction and prior to the Civil Rights Era. As stated previously, there were a number of populist and economic movements which engulfed Dixie between 1877 and the Great War. While it goes without saying, the South was utterly decimated by the War Between the States. Every pillar and shibboleth of its antebellum civilization had been toppled by invasion and military occupation. Simply shedding the shackles of Republican dictatorship was not enough to revive Dixie; it only allowed for the process of rebuilding to occur. Unfortunately, the Redeemer Democrats, later referred to as the Bourbon Democrats, quickly fell into the same corruption and political shenanigans which characterized the Reconstruction Republicans.
In an era characterized by rural indigence and a desperation for political and social reforms, Southerners, especially the rural classes, did not take kindly to this sort of corruption from their own people. This ultimately gave rise to a number of populist movements throughout the 1880’s, 1890’s, and 1900’s. With the exception of excellent men such as Wade Hampton III of South Carolina and a handful of others, the state corruption reared its ugly head with widespread rampancy. Not long after seizing the reins of power, the Bourbons became notorious for the very same malfeasance and duplicity for which Southern voters sent the Republicans fleeing from the South, save for improved spending practices. Overall, their sentiments and policies were wholly uninterested in the lives of the country folk and seldom extended far beyond the densely populated Black Belt.
Generally, this ruling class exhibited the thoughts and behaviors of businessmen and lawyers and were often drawn from their ranks. Immediately following the Redemption, the Black Belt and lowland gentries formed various political machines and rings against poor rural Whites. The antebellum feuds between these classes simply resumed in the late 1870’s from their hiatus during the War and Reconstruction and marked “Solid” South politics until the Civil Rights Era. Even to the exclusion of the insurmountable Negro Question, numerous economic issues provided plenty of weight to the axe which clove Southerners in two. Taxes, interest rates, crop lien laws, the convict-lease system, sharecropping, public school funding, fertilizer inspections, land sales, and railroad expansions all defined the multitude of economic and financial problems with which Dixians bitterly debated and fought each other, spurred on by the uncaring, condescending, and even malicious attitude with which the Bourbons viewed to common Caucasian populace in the Southland the former ruled. These issues and the horrendous state of social life quickly gave rise to the Farmer’s Alliance and agrarian populist movements which dominated the faction rivalries in the Southern Democratic Party during the late 1870’s and 1880’s.
Compounded with these absurd political pursuits, Southern social life was rewritten by the War and Reconstruction. By the close of the 1870’s, Dixie faced a new world and method of living which gave rise to a number of movements and socio-political changes. Financially, Southerners languished in an extreme state of poverty that a 21st Century mind cannot fathom. It was pure indigence, nothing less. This demographic of folks never fully embraced the New South way of thinking, and generally for understandable reasons. The New South had abandoned them and was the way of the businessman, politicians, and middle-class city folk. The era was dominated by a middle-class and business-class of upstarts, arrivistes, and parvenus all wholly at the expense of the poor country folk. As time progressed during the 1880’s, the aforementioned New South adopters were desperately pushing for Yankee investment. They and the banks and corporations sold off everything not bolted down which led to the wholesale and complete ravaging of land in a move which was comparable to that of a strip-mining operation. While railroads were built all across the South, they and the steel industry could never truly flourish because of the discriminatory freight rates enforced by the North and Washington DC.
From these circumstances, grassroots reactionary political and cultural movements arose in opposition. Regarding politics, this manifested as the previously mentioned populist movements. While there were many, the foremost within the South was the Farmer’s Alliance. The Southern Farmer’s Alliance originated in Lampasas County, Texas in 1875 as a means of cooperation between small frontier farmers but also as a way of combatting abuses from large cattle operations, land speculators, cattle kings, and foreign-owned land syndicates. This early organization was tumultuous and frequently split into factions, even ceasing to exist altogether in 1878 but was revived the following year. The Texas Farmer’s Alliance would experience a resurgence in 1886 upon the rise of Dr. Charles Macune through its ranks. Unifying its factions and preventing a split, Macune brokered a merging of the Texas Alliance and the Louisiana Farmer’s Union and renaming the organization the National Farmers’ Alliance and Cooperative Union. This allowed it to further expand into Dixie and advocated for the abolition of national banks and monopolies, free coinage of silver, issuance of paper money, loans on land, establishment of sub-treasuries, income tax acts, and revision of tariffs. The Farmer’s Alliance was not an all encompassing machine of populism within the South, nor did it combat everything poor rural Whites opposed. However, it did successfully get the wheels turning on the succeeding populism of the 1890’s. The Farmer’s Alliance achieved little by its end in 1890, but its impact was magnanimous.
In 1890, fortunes began favoring the populists. While the previously touched on Mississippi Plan in the 1890’s and its legislative proponents did serve the lower classes in their demands to remove the Negro bloc from the controlling whims of the Bourbons and ratify needed improved state constitutions, the means through which voting reforms were accomplished, poll taxes and property requirements, served to disfranchise many Caucasians anyway, negating the desired outcome for the general populace.
Though the 1890’s experienced a resurgence in populism in the South heavily due in part to the Mississippi Plan opening up the façade of its political viability, the Populist Party itself collapsed completely following the presidential election of 1896. That was only one large drop within a sea of populist movements, and many who belonged to that failed party simply moved into the Democratic Party in the South. Nationally and especially below the Mason-Dixon Line, populism and progressivism was saved by the adoption of the direct primaries as a replacement to party conventions, much to the chagrin of state political leadership. For one cause or another, Southern leadership caved to the demands for such. The adoption of the White primaries began in South Carolina in 1896, legalized by the tenure of John Gary Evans, a protégé of former Governor then Senator Ben Tillman who continued Tillman’s agrarian populist policies and presided over the ratification of the South Carolina Constitution of 1896, and was followed by Arkansas in 1897, Georgia in 1898, Florida and Tennessee in 1901, Alabama and Mississippi in 1902, Kentucky and Texas in 1905, Louisiana in 1906, Oklahoma in 1907, Virginia in 1913, and North Carolina in 1915. The age of the populists’ success finally arrived. It was no coincidence that it correlatively rose with the birth of the Jim Crow era and was tied directly to Jim Crowism in 1890 and 1896.
Naturally, these legal reforms gave rise to, or were a direct result of, a slew of reform governors. James Vardaman and Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi, Thomas Campbell and Samuel Lanham of Texas, Charles Aycock of North Carolina, Hoke Smith of Georgia, Jeff Davis of Arkansas, Gary Evans and Cole Blease of South Carolina, and William Goebel of Kentucky were only a handful of the more notable reformers, often champions of segregationism. Jim Hogg was the early 1890’s precursor and influence of Thomas Campbell and Samuel Lanham, and Tillman was a direct influence over that of Gary Evans and Cole Blease.
These governors strove to reform Southern lawfare, combat political corruption, disrupt and weaken state political machines, and improve the lives of farmers and industrial workers. The railroads and their benefactors were arguably the primary opponent of these reformers, and it was not long before they started cracking down on the industry, one of the most popular means of which was railroad commissions. Railroads had themselves to blame due to their habits of discrimination, rebates, stock manipulation, favoritism, and overcharging; additionally, they would blatantly discriminate against states which passed laws or had railroad commissions they did not approve of, such as Texas and Georgia. Uniquely, anti-monopolization of the big oil companies in Texas was a major part of the movement there. Even insurance companies made it into the crosshairs for a time. Other strides were made to better fund public education and end child labor laws as well as the convict-lease system. One of the most successful members of this breed of governor was the uproarious Bilbo, who accomplished the creation of a state tax commission and the equalization of tax assessments, a board of bank examiners, a highway commission, a pardoning board, a tuberculosis hospital, a charity hospital, a training school for the unruly, a compulsory school-attendance law, a Blue Sky law, a stringent anti-lobby law, equalization of school fund distribution, adult night classes, and the most sizeable appropriation for education the state had seen at the time. Ultimately, these movements achieved a goodly amount of success compared to previous efforts, but populism eventually began falling out of vogue during the Great War and devolved largely into campaigns of racialism. Southern populism reared its mighty and acrimonious head again in 1954 following the Brown v Board of Education ruling as a means of massive resistance to forced integration at the point of bayonet. Fortunately, old-school agrarian populism finally made some much needed reforms to Southern society before it dissipated and World War I brought the New South era to a close.
Culturally, Southern Whites further developed their sense of identity while Christian revivalism surged. While a cosmopolitan call for progress and Yankeefication did occur from the late 1870’s to the turn of the century alongside a major push for industrialization, the average Southerner rejected the idea. Dixie became engulfed in the nostalgic mindset of Lost Cause historiography, grace and gallantry, veterans’ reunions, genealogy, and literature. The macabre brutality and poverty of invasion and Reconstruction served as a unifying force for Southern identity and breathed life into the people’s resolve and culture. Country life still clung to many of the customs of the antebellum period and the Old Order, of which the previously mentioned belonged. Industrialization failed to take root, and Southerners remained mostly rural until after World War II, lend further weight and longevity to these old ways and customs.
Christianity continued to spread ravenously across Dixieland. While Christendom’s spread was nothing new to the South due to the 2nd Great Awakening and the Confederate Army revivals, this new wave of Christian zeal carried with it an unforeseen zeal in the region; compounding generations of hard times drew folks closer to God and made them more willing to receive Christ. By the 1880’s, Baptists and Methodists were the leading denominations across the South, having overtaken the previously dominant Presbyterians and Episcopalians. The fervid Protestantism of the time tended to openly oppose the progressivism of the New South mantra and became positively symbiotic with the Lost Cause and Southern identity, deepening the rift between Northern and Southern denominations. Reverend Robert Lewis Dabney himself even brazenly spoke out against the new age in an address titled “The New South.” This facet of Southern culture became a mainstay of its history and social customs even into the 21st Century and was a monumental pillar in preserving its uniqueness among the various nations of the world.
However, not every aspect of late 19th Century culture was positive. Violence pervaded and grew with intensity during the New South era. The long-established culture of violence in the South grew so wanton that even historian C. Vann Woodward claimed, “The South seems to have been one of the most violent communities in comparable size in all Christendom.” Education, as well as the arts and sciences, were woefully lacking, and few general improvements were made for rural folk until populism finally succeeded at the turn of the century. Bleakness was a mainstay of life.
A densely packed and tempestuous period within Southern history all but wholly forgotten by 21st Century America, it is difficult to summarize within the span of a single essay. This dismal, violent period did fortunately come to a close in 1913, but the next stage of American society did not heal Dixie’s wounds. While Woodrow Wilson did reintroduce the South to the national stage for the first time since 1865, the emergence did not bring to the South the prosperity and peace many within it desired. However, the darkness of the New South period and its beginnings did succeed in establish a stringent social order and flourishing of Christianity which it so desperately needed. This period, though grim, was an integral part of Southern identity and much more within it occurred than simply the passage of Jim Crow laws, necessitating its preservation and study.

The demonic act of pederasty was not all-encompassing among the Ancient Greeks, as some might proclaim.
There were quite a few noteworthy detractors (only to name a few):
We don’t know the exact percentage of those involved in sodomy, pederasty, and similar acts, but it’s almost certainly embellished to an extraordinary degree by modernists who desire to make it seem as a normal cultural custom of the time to degrade the ancients and justify their own depravity.
It happened, just like it happens today, but is in no way an indication of a natural proclivity to the act. It is as far from the natural order as possible. As Plato said, it is “contrary to nature”.
Even worse, our modern pedophiles appeal to these practices in Ancient Greece as a justification for their reprobate actions today. This, even though the acts were usually localized to a specific place and social class (usually elites, unsurprisingly), also during a specific time period. They act like all of these city-states were monolithic and unchanging. The Greeks had hundreds of city-states over vast periods of time, not all were alike. Some were Moloch driven, some were not.
Modern reprobates also try to link ancient pederasty to modern pedophilia. You can find an example of this on the NAMBLA page where they discuss pederasty, which I do not recommend reading unless you are in a satisfactory position to be enraged and break things. Another is in a TEDx talk that has been watched nearly a million times. This approach is deceitful. Even given the horrible nature of historical pederasty, the ancients still met an age of consent, which would have been teens (at least 16) and beyond puberty. Still far too young, and any homosexuality regardless of age is contrary to nature, but the modern pedophiles try to deceitfully use this practice as a justification for sexual attraction to children. The ancients never fetishized pre-pubescent boys like the modern reprobate would have us believe.
The ancients were no more or less pedophiles than other time periods. Neither were they more or less homosexual or other forms of sexual depravity.
Their city-states follow our own cycle. During certain degenerative periods, the ancients were more proud and tolerant of this sexual degeneration. Much similar to our own time today. Unsurprisingly, for the Greeks, the amount of pederasty almost always corresponded with the decline of each city-state. The closer it got to decline, the more of it was permitted and allowed.
And throughout the entire timeline of civilization—no matter the stage of the cycle—there were always dissidents that resisted it. As the above image demonstrates.
Be like them.
The post Historical Pederasty: Not Universal appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Earlier this month, Dr. Clyde Wilson had an article published on Identity Dixie and made the claim that the real adversaries of an independent Dixie are neither Africans nor Semites, but rather American Nationalists, White or other complexions. While (almost) everyone here can agree that the South chafes and suffers under the thumb of the Global American Empire, there can be no mistake about the subtext of Dr. Wilson’s message.
The term American Nationalist, which in some cases applies to those who advocate for a more authoritarian rightwing government and revitalizing the American Union, can also be applied to Southern Nationalists. We are Americans of the Southern states who demand a separate political entity from Washington – one that is predominately (if not homogeneously) White as the Founding Fathers intended.
Dr. Wilson complains of a general sense of White Nationalism, that it is rootless and “merely a Yankee ideology,” and those that embrace it are no different than the cartoonishly-evil, goose-stepping Germans who – for no reason whatsoever – decided to apply political force on Jews and leftists over eighty years ago. With all due respect to him and considering the current dismal status of the South, the United States, and Europe, I must ask: how is your tone-deaf assessment of White Nationalism (or the Southern Dissident Right, in general) any different than a shallow rebuke found in National Review?
It has long been an established truth that the Founding Fathers of this country – Yankee and Dixian – were, even as a modern term, “White Nationalists.” We can clearly see this in the text of the Naturalization Act of 1790, where American citizenship was limited to “free white person(s)… of good character.” The Founders understood the dangers of diversity, even when the political term did not exist, and the futility of giving citizenship to Africans, free and enslaved. To expect such a backward people to hold the same voting rights as Whites is as laughable as it is insane, especially now when we can see the abysmal state of affairs in countries like Haiti and South Africa. Or, in the South, we can look to North Charleston, Newport News, Baltimore, or Birmingham. You cannot maintain first world amenities, public infrastructure, and political systems with a race whose average IQ is two standard deviations below ours.
If that wasn’t enough, the historical and political illiteracy does not stop there. Dr. Wilson follows up with this incredible claim:
“Some few Americans after World War II began to praise the Nazi regime for its opposition to the rise of communism and internal disorder. This was and is stupid but characterizes some of the Alt-Right these days.”
Uh, yeah. Yes. That’s exactly what happened. With the Great War winding down, communist revolutionaries in Germany, seeking to emulate the horrors of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, attempted a coup throughout the entire country (and even briefly succeeded in regions like Bavaria). Luckily, veterans of the German army arrived and liquidated them, but the communists still remained in the political sphere in dangerously high numbers. Combined with reparations, liberalism, degeneracy, and hyperinflation (most of which was spurred on by Jews), Germany was in a state of complete disorder until Hitler came around and righted the ship. All this is a basic historical fact, and I don’t know why anyone on the Right would oppose nationalists from saving their country from bloodthirsty communists.
However, what gets me (and you, ID readers, when I make the comparison) the most is Dr. Wilson’s assertion that Hitler was anything but a patriot, and that his actions alone led to the deaths of millions of White people. Because he fought back against the people who had robbed his country of its territory, wealth, pride, and lost, his efforts were pointless and should be mocked with derision? By Dr. Wilson’s flawed logic, it was not Lincoln, the radical Republicans, or the abolitionists who destroyed Dixie – oh no, it was actually those incompetent losers like Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Nathan Bedford Forrest who lost us our rights and independence. What sense does that make?
The politics and culture of today demands a complete renewal of what we, Southern Nationalists, believe in and stand for. Our current existential struggle goes far beyond milquetoast arguments about tax rates, nostalgic conservatism, or bickering over the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution – we are in the fight for our very way of life. Never before have the stakes been so high. In the 1860s, our ancestors fought a war to preserve political independence from the Yankees, we now have the heavy duty of saving our genetic and cultural legacy. If we fail here, there will be no Southerners left. It is our mission to secure a future for us and our posterity, and to identify those who would seek to do us harm. As a younger Southern Nationalist, my enemies are not White Nationalists. White Nationalists did not (1) tear down our statues, (2) devalue our currency, (3) flood our country with millions of illegals, (4) groom our children into transvestites, (5) send our men and women to die in the Middle East for 20 years, (6) institute no-fault divorce, (7) ban Christian prayer in public spaces, (8) and implement usury.
The world we live in now is not 1945, or even 1985. We have a Left that is hellbent on eradicating Southern culture, Christianity, traditional families and values, and openly advocates for abolishing “Whiteness.” They want to culturally, and actually, genocide us. The post-1945 “Nazis Evil Ad Infinitum” mythos, relentlessly hammered into the heads of the Boomer generation, wears pretty thin when transexuals are invited to the White House and the prevailing American culture encourages boys to get castrated, girls on puberty blockers, mocks God, and hates White people with a passion. And, any opposition to this Satanic agenda gets one labeled a “Nazi.” You don’t need to read through tea leaves to figure this one out, the writing is on the wall.
The question, then, becomes: did the “good guys” really win World War II? For young Southern Nationalists, White Nationalists, and the Dissident Right, we definitely know the answer.

I’m not really sure what to think about the style of the Tesla Cybertruck, although I’d rather get myself an F-150. I’ve ridden in Tesla sedans, and I just didn’t feel safe. There’s basically only a tablet on the dashboard that operates the whole thing, so it’s not very tactile. That seems like a serious choke point if it malfunctions, as these things often do. There’s also the issue of the weather getting cold enough to kill the battery, which sets you back by about 30 grand.

Tesla seems to be in keeping with the latest American manufacturing trend of making faulty shit that could lead to disaster, Boeing can’t have all the fun. The thing with this “green energy” stuff though, is that it’s retarded. It’s not if you’re making money off of it, I know plenty of guys making the big bucks installing offshore wind turbines and designing solar panels. So, I can understand why they’re enthusiastic about this industry. We’ve all got to make a living.
The concept though, is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. Scientifically, it’s unsound and when considered through some basic math, it becomes utterly preposterous. First, there’s the notion that we can convert all vehicles to EVs using the current battery technology, which is impossible even from a material perspective. Second, the idea that the power grid could handle it without being built out at a cost somewhere in the hundreds of billions. Third, the notion that all of the electricity generated from conventional sources could be replaced with the green energy sham really blows the mind and, of course, there’s no such thing as green energy.

Blacks aren’t going to appreciate the solar panel concept. Just give ’em dat EBT. For instance, solar panels require the mining and melting of pure quartz and the blades on wind turbines are made from fiberglass which can’t be recycled and ends up contaminating groundwater in landfills. Both have operational lifespans shorter than a conventional power plant, assuming that inclement weather doesn’t take them out. They also require enormous amounts of conventional fuels to produce and install. These are just a few salient issues a rational individual should be able to take into account.
There’s nothing about either method which is better for the environment than nuclear or hydroelectric power. In fact, the energy return on investment (EROI) for both is basically lower than any other form of generating electricity, and this electricity can only be generated when the wind is blowing, or the sun is shining. It’s so totally stupid.
The “fossil fuel” concept was introduced by the same people at the same time as global warming. It’s true that coal is the accretion of organic material transformed by heat and pressure. Coal is solid and thus never migrates from its point of deposition. The really good stuff, anthracite, is formed by compression on the sides of mountains. We’re running out of that, but there’s sufficient bituminous coal for centuries of consumption at current rates.
Oil and gas are where serious questions arise. Some is certainly the result of ancient organic matter, for instance what’s being fracked in the United States. However, the chemical characteristics vary a great deal depending on where it’s extracted. The potential is also high for the abiotic generation of hydrocarbons. Deposits are observable in the solar system, and the settled science doesn’t have a good method of observing what happens at the depths, pressure, and temperatures where these hydrocarbons could potentially be formed.
This is anathema to the settled science of fossil fuels, so only entities like Russia pursue research into this matter. They’ve had success drilling through igneous formations where hydrocarbons shouldn’t be present if they were formed from organic matter. Certainly, there are problematic issues from hydrocarbons but the question of whether or not we will run out might not be the most salient.
The anti-carbon thing is where it seems to get outright Satanic. Every living thing on this planet is made out of carbon. It’s not some toxic substance heating up the atmosphere, this is very basic chemistry. To be anti-carbon is to be against life itself. The “global warming” canard was introduced by the Club of Rome roughly 50 years ago. This then turned into “climate change” because any weather condition could be cited as proof since the globe didn’t warm.
The concept was about controlling population growth, if even that’s to be believed. My suspicion is that the motives are far more sinister. It’s murky, but there were Rothschilds and all the usual suspects behind this right from the start. Global warming wasn’t discovered by researchers and then evolved into a scientific consensus. The bogus science came after the concept.
Today from Truckee to Texas, communities are coming face-to-face with the devastating impacts of the climate crisis. 100mph winds and 12’ of snow are battering the Sierra Nevada while crews battle the largest wildfire in Texas history. We owe it to our our communities, neighbors,…

Anytime you don’t like the weather, this is called Climate Change. Originally, his tune was that we’d all have drowned by now because the ice caps were melting. In the very least, this is some sort of PSYOP to drive anyone capable of performing the most limited critical thinking insane. The fact that every single respectable person in our society endorses this nonsense is probably a key feature of this campaign to undermine our sanity. They fly in private jets to events where they congratulate themselves, talk about the pernicious effects of carbon, and why the rest of us shouldn’t be allowed to eat a hamburger. It’s ludicrous.
I attended one of these WEF-type conferences. There were government ministers, and representatives of various companies who flew in from all over the world. I was there to scout for business basically, not because I care about the carbon. Beef was on the menu, the food was fabulous, and in the evenings there were delightful cocktail parties. I didn’t need to pay for anything the entire time. If I’d been paying for it at nice restaurants, everything I swilled and chowed down on would’ve cost hundreds of dollars. I also got lots of free shit. These climate people aren’t forgoing a single personal luxury out of concern for carbon.
For one of the sessions I attended, they had a presentation by some drug-addled natives whom (they claim) were cleaned up from their habits through a grant for millions of dollars to bury plants in order to prevent carbon from entering the atmosphere. Bill Gates is planning to spend massive sums cutting down trees in order to bury them, so it was par for the course.
Bill Gates and other investors are betting Kodama Systems can reduce carbon dioxide in the air by chopping down and burying trees. Now if only Uncle Sam would get on board with tax credits, too. https://t.co/MLWM3z1NBN pic.twitter.com/LT47qxQLII

At another, a CEO on a panel said that flying economy class was not a way to fight climate change. I wanted to keel over laughing and shout “hahaha, you fuckin’ retards!” but I simply took some photos and texted about it to some members of the Identity Dixie crew because you literally can’t make this up. It’s that nonsensical. Still, I had a blast. It’s fun to go to things like this and drink cocktails while you’re treated like you’re important. That’s probably part of it as well.
Obviously, I never brought up my actual views. This would get me ostracized and it’s bad for business. Proper white people have a sort of defense mechanism where if you bring up something inappropriate, they simply shut off and walk away. When you contradict the settled science, you’re not someone who should be part of the discussion so they won’t talk with a cretin such as yourself. I might’ve been the only person there engaging in the slightest introspection about this nonsense.
Extreme weather and misinformation

Proper white people also perform logical and emotional alchemy to make something ridiculous true to themselves if this has been marketed to them as the thing that moral and sophisticated people understand. Clearly, whoever formulated these green energy, climate change, and fossil fuel canards understood this phenomenon. This is why they’ve been imposed so successfully.
Thus, proper white people possess an immunity to the truth that can’t be confronted with facts and logic. If you think that sounds fantastical, well look at all of the proper white people who got the COVID injections and swear by climate change. It’s the same thing with their inability to come to an objective understanding of morality, and why most of them are atheists who can’t understand how they’re being utilized in a struggle between good and evil.
If you can’t gently disabuse proper white people of their dangerous and misguided status beliefs through the provision of truth, the implications are rather disquieting. The demonstrable fact that they can be manipulated to adopt any belief through the proper marketing technique doesn’t fill one with much hope, either.
However, this does explain why they just keep doubling down on the climate hoax, claiming every single adverse weather event is proof of why ever more draconian restrictions must be placed on the population. In Western Europe, farms are being forcibly shutdown by governments and suicides among farmers have risen sharply as a result. Farming might’ve been their family’s livelihood and lifestyle for millennia, food is in high demand, and yet this has to come to an end over gases. It’s just plain evil.

For example, in Ireland, which is not a big place, the government is going to spend 600 million euros culling 10% of the nation’s cattle. This could be decried as more climate stupidity, but it seems like a deliberate attempt to create a food crisis, which is being done at the same time that Europe is being flooded with unrelenting mass migration. Something insidious is unfolding, although it might be impossible to discern some sort of rational agenda out of it.
Confronting climate change is a mandated collapse of global civilization. It’s often speculated that the elites want to get rid of the rest of us, but that doesn’t make much sense because the value of their assets would collapse, along with the labor force and global supply chain that sustains them. This is why I’m leaning towards it all being some sort of Satanic plot.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to make sense out of what we’re being subjected to these days besides Satanism. It’s been asserted often in the alternative media that climate change is about justifying greater draconian control over our lives. If it’s about control, how does a government control a society where the economy has collapsed over climate restrictions and people are starving? It’s much easier to for someone who has enough decent food to eat to be complacent or someone with a job he’s worried about losing to avoid political agitation.

This is true about probably anything that happens in Africa, but still.This isn’t about helping the environment, either. Hydrocarbons have their issues but it’s far less destructive to drill underneath the environment to extract them than to tear it up for toxic battery materials. Large bird species with fragile populations don’t die flying into oil rigs like what happens with these turbines. Some solar plants cause birds to burst into flames. Simply extracting the hydrocarbons to use for energy is much more efficient than using them to produce fake green energy. There’s no way to make any sense out of it from this angle.
If a proper white people were reading this article, they wouldn’t get any further than the first paragraph where I deride the concept of green energy. If they managed to get to the Satanism part, that’s where they’d receive the sweet confirmation bias of me being a nutjob spouting crackpot theories. So, I think it’s safe to say there isn’t going to be any recalibration towards reason on these matters. That’s probably not going to be very fun for any of us. I’m not saying we’re all doomed, but the trajectory looks to be rather unpleasant and we’re along for the ride.

Republicans and CPAC clowns often try to rationalize their support for unlimited immigration and these United States’ lack of border security by claiming that we need the economic migrants invading North America to replace our declining population. However, they never attempt to explain why we would need or even want to maintain the current population numbers. Most Americans would be better off if there were fewer peoples inhabiting these lands. In fact, the standard of living was much higher, and workers were more productive when the population was smaller. The younger generations of Y and Z are the first Americans to experience lower standards of living than their parents on average. This can easily be attributed to a simple matter of reduced supply due to increased demand driven by foreign-born aliens.
In 1940, the population of these United States was only about 135 million people and the great majority of them were of European descent. These Americans proved to be incredibly productive in building most of the ships, planes, tanks, trucks, and weaponry used with great success by the Allies during World War 2. Then, they built the interstate highways and much of the federal infrastructure, as well as the infrastructure of their home states during the 1950s. In 1960, the U.S. population was still only 180 million and the economy boomed. The U.S. led the Western world in manufacturing and the middle class experienced a high standard of living. Then came the immigration reforms such as the Hart-Celler Act of 1965 which allowed for third-world peoples to migrate to the U.S. en masse and become citizens. Civil rights reforms, such as the forced desegregation of states and counties combined with affirmative action quotas and welfare subsidies for blacks, greatly increased the cost of living and reduced the average quality of life for middle class Whites.
Democrats and Republicans alike try to reassure their constituents that the great demographic replacement of Heritage Americans is just an unfounded conspiracy theory. However, we have already seen the results of racial demographic replacement on a micro scale at the municipal level. Cities all across these United States have noticeably deteriorated as Whites have fled, and the numbers of blacks, Latinos, and Middle Eastern peoples have increased. Multicultural diversity always begets drastic increases in crime and reductions in living standards. If the migrants were really capable of enriching cultures, they would have developed and enriched their own cultures in their own homelands when they had the chance.
As more and more cities fall to the invading hordes of savage invaders, productivity is diminished, and the overall economy shrinks along with gross domestic product. Neither the blacks nor the invaders have shown any aptitude for building or even maintaining a civilization. All of which leads to insurmountable government debt and the inflation of currency, which in turn steals wealth and opportunities from the middle class. Slowly, the middle class is destroyed, and the masses share equally in poverty and misery while being subjugated by a small ruling class of rich globalists. These nefarious globalists are the ones driving the migration of third-world peoples to North America as part of a scheme by which international corporations lay their labor costs off on working class Americans. First corrupt congressmen pass bills granting generous subsidies to alien migrants. Then, non-governmental organizations set the migrants up with low paying jobs working for unscrupulous corporations whose lawyers aid the migrants to obtain U.S. citizenship. Ultimately, Heritage Americans are stuck with the costs of providing food, shelter, transportation, education, and medical care for the aliens.
Today, accounting for an estimated 30 million illegal aliens, the U.S. population has peaked at 360 million. That equals twice as many people as there were in 1960. Since that time, the Yankee Dollar has been inflated by more than 900%. That means that it will take more than $1,000 to buy the same amounts of goods or services today that someone could have bought for only $100 sixty years ago. The quality of today’s products is probably not even as good, either. At this rate, most young Americans will never be able to buy houses of their own. The prices of new vehicles and gasoline are also quickly becoming cost prohibitive. What’s even worse is that the cost of healthy food can be enough to put one into debt slavery these days as the U.S. government sends much of our wealth to foreign countries. Adding insult to injury, foreigners can then use our own money to buy our lands out from under our feet. All of these atrocities are multiplied exponentially by the infinite demand for our limited resources and supplies. Therefore, the best way to counter these negative trends and perhaps reverse the reduction in the quality of our lives is by working to reduce the outrageous demands made against us by the globalists and the other alien invaders.
The South has all of the resources we need to not only survive the coming collapse of the Yankee Empire, but to rebuild our civilization and thrive once we break free from Satan’s unholy Union. We have the best farmland, rivers, lakes, and coastal ports, as well as abundant energy sources such as natural gas and oil. Our climates are mild and accommodate year-round economic activity. Furthermore, our States are naturally protected by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico along with the Appalachian and Smokey Mountain Ranges between us and the North. We just need the will to declare our independence and abandon the Yankees to die in their never-ending foreign wars of Zionist aggression. As was the case in 1861, we no longer have much to lose. However, unlike in 1861, we now have strong potential allies and trading partners in Russia, China, Brazil, and India.

One common claim from White Nationalist Yankees is that the Union’s victory in the War of Northern Aggression ended up being a good thing for White Southerners as it helped prevent Dixie from becoming a large-scale Haiti. As the claim goes, Dixie alone would have eventually become majority black and, with that, would have become a ticking timebomb that sooner or later would have turned into a Haitian-style black revolution or a large-scale massacre of the White population. Additionally, it’s claimed the consolidation and reforming of the United States after the War ensured that the Union remained overwhelmingly White and thus the threat of a black revolution was mitigated.
It’s a fear that many White Southerners shared in the days leading up to the War. But many Southerners correctly saw that the radical Yankee abolitionists were increasing the chances of turning Dixie into an ill-fated Saint-Domingue. Remember, Haiti was the worst-case scenario, and the history of Haiti since has further shown this. Haiti was not a case of “slaves rising against their masters” as so many on the Left naively believe, but rather wholesale racial carnage. Both slaveholding and non-slaveholding Whites were killed, and the Haitian slaughter is a chief reason why Southern Whites, from the poorest farmer to the wealthiest aristocrat, held such a remarkable degree of unity. They knew that, as in Haiti, they would all be killed. But despite these claims, I do not think there was any real danger of Dixie becoming the next Haiti, the conditions between the two were simply too different, as I will outline below.
DemographicsModern White Nationalists who insist Dixie is demographically similar to Haiti are only superficially looking at the problem. At the eve of the Haitian Revolution, Haiti was over 90% black. By contrast, the South, although having a significantly higher black population than the North, was nothing like Haiti. It is true that two states – South Carolina and Mississippi – had majority black populations, but their White population was still comparable. The rest of Dixie was majority White and, in certain areas, like Appalachia, it was overwhelmingly White. Only a handful of Southern counties had comparable demographics to Haiti, and that made a large-scale Haitian Revolution style scenario in Dixie unlikely. The numbers were simply not there.
GeographyHaiti is on an island, and that means that miliary reinforcement as soon as the slaves took physical control of Haiti was always going to be extremely difficult. An amphibious landing is one of the most difficult miliary endeavors to successfully pull off. By contrast, Dixie, centered on a continent, would have been far easier for the White forces to defend.
PriorityAt the time of the Haitian Revolution, Haiti (or as it was once known, Saint-Domingue) was a French colony and France was involved in the Napoleonic Wars. It was not that Saint-Domingue was unimportant – Napoleon’s dream of a French Empire in North American was dependent upon it and the failure of the French to put down the rebellion is the primary reason France sold Louisianna to the United States; however, it was a side quest compared to the war in Europe. By contrast, had a slave revolt ever broken out in Dixie, it would have very quickly become the greatest priority for our nation, and that would have made it far more difficult for something like Haiti to take place.
DiseaseIt is also worth pointing out a key reason why the Haitian Revolution was successful – despite the massive disadvantages the French had in terms of population and geography, they were still on the cusp of victory when an outbreak of yellow fever decimated the French forces. Yellow fever is a tropical disease, meaning the French had no immunity to it, while the Haitians did. Because Dixie sits north of the tropics, yellow fever itself never could have become a factor. But there is also little realistic chance that any disease could have ravaged Dixie, killing the White population in droves while leaving the black population relatively unscathed. The two populations had simply lived in proximity for far too long for there to have a significant enough difference in the immune systems of the two populations to produce a Haiti-style scenario.
So, despite what certain White Nationalists claim, the Yankee army did not save us from becoming Haiti, the conditions were too great for that to happen. By understanding what happened in Haiti, Southerners can better understand that the Yankee army was in no way a force for good (either in the short or long term). It was a force of destruction. It is also why, despite claims to the contrary, a Free Dixie was viable.

For those of you who have yet to understand why the ruling class has determined that topics such as CRT, white guilt, and so on are necessary in elementary schools:
Imagine you’re a child in school—a white child—and every day you’re reminded of how evil you are because of your skin color. Now imagine that coincidentally, at the same time, you are told that LGBTQ+ are heroes that need to be celebrated, cherished, and loved above all others. As a white child, you begin to recognize that you can simply identify as LGBTQ+ and suddenly you’re no longer such an evil, original-sin laden person. Instead, you are now the hero. That is exactly what is happening.
The LGBT sexual cult is a tool to convince white children to abandon their people. It splinters that connection with kin who want to see them succeed and be raised correctly.
We teach these white children that they are either the horrible whitey or the disadvantaged, oppressed (but cherished, loved, and celebrated) sexual minority. Obviously, at such a susceptible young age, they will choose the one taught to them as the “good” guys. They don’t want to be hated and vilified. No child does.
There is a reason why whites and youths have high representation within the walls of the LGBT insanity cult. It’s because they are being targeted with it the most. For whites, they can escape their “white guilt” immediately upon inclusion. Those whites are now miraculously, with only a single phrase uttered, a minority that does not differ from the other minorites.
With just a few single words—”I’m now a woman” or “I’m gay and nonbinary”—They instantaneously morph into the oppressed heroes instead of the malicious villains. We all must stand and marvel at this supernatural transformation.
This does not just affect the children. Weak adults get caught up in it, too. The entire belief structure of an oppressed sexual minority class functions as a mechanism that teaches susceptible whites to run and hide (while simultaneously selling their soul). It’s an out for the weakest people to escape any type of persecution.
You no longer have to feel bad about being white, so long as you become a degenerate. A useful tool of the ruling class. This wasn’t done by accident. It’s yet another successful demoralization campaign by the demons in charge.
The result is the creation of an entire class of anti-white loons who are white. These people become some of the most sociopathic of all of our enemies, because they must constantly demonstrate their allegiance through further groveling to the other minority classes (to continually abase their own whiteness). A part of this prostration is the inevitable targeting and oppressing of other whites, so they themselves are not targeted or oppressed.
It’s sad when it happens to children who don’t know any better. The groomers force the children down a horrible path at a young age, with no choice given to them. Those who should be the protectors are the ones directly harming them. I feel for those children. But I don’t feel for the adults that pass it on to them, or the adults that get wrapped up in this. They are incredibly weak, depraved, or both.
So now, when you see graphs like these, you will know why:
It’s all a part of their plan to break us.

One speech I shall never forget was delivered by Judge John H. Rogers. In it … he spoke as one who understood his subject, and he told the story of the struggles of the South and of its history clearly and truly, and yet without a word of hate or revenge. When he closed, a resolution was offered and adopted thanking him for the address, declaring it to be the most valuable historical document ever read before the association.

“Sherman’s march to the sea, as told by himself, and Sheridan’s raid through the Valley of Virginia, as characterized by his own pen, find no counterpart in Lee’s march to Gettysburg or Antietam, or in Morgan’s raid through Ohio. No Confederate general ever recorded any boast of his cruelty to noncombatants, or felt a pride in making a Warsaw of any part of American soil. To emphasize these statements, I invoke your patience while I read an order issued by a man while in the enemy’s country, whom I believe to represent the highest type of genuine and true manhood to be found in all history:
HEADQUARTERS OF ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, CHAMBERSBURG, PA, June 27, 1863.
The Commanding General has observed with marked satisfaction the conduct of the troops on the march, and confidently anticipates results commensurate with the high spirit they have manifested. No troops could have displayed greater fortitude or better performed the arduous marches of the past ten days. Their conduct in other respects has, with few exceptions, been in keeping with their character as soldiers, and entitled them to approbation and praise.
There have, however, been instances of forgetfulness on the part of some, that they have in keeping the yet unsullied reputation of the army, and that the duties exacted of us by civilization and Christianity are not less obligatory in the country of the enemy than our own. The Commanding General considers that no greater disgrace could befall the army, and through it the whole people, than the perpetration of the barbarous outrages upon the innocent and defenseless and the wanton destruction of private property that have marked the course of the enemy in our own country. Such proceedings not only disgrace the perpetrators and all connected with them, but are subversive of the discipline and efficiency of the army, and destructive of the ends of our present movements. It must be remembered that we make war only on armed men, and that we cannot take vengeance for the wrongs our people have suffered, without lowering ourselves in the eyes of all whose abhorrence has been excited by the atrocities of our enemy, and offending against Him to whom vengeance belongeth, without whose favor and support our efforts must all prove in vain.
The Commanding General, therefore, earnestly exhorts the troops to abstain with most scrupulous care from unnecessary or wanton injury to private property, and he enjoins upon all officers to arrest and bring to summary punishment all who shall in any way offend against the orders on the subject.
“Who could have written this order except Robert E. Lee? Years after the war had closed, at a time, it is true, when its passions had not subsided, and bitterness in the hearts of people of one section toward their countrymen in the other still lingered, in a spirit of splendid magnanimity, the victorious conqueror, the great Captain of the Union army, taught the grand lesson of forgiveness and fraternity in the imperishable words, ‘Let us have peace.’
“But this order of Gen. Lee was penned in the very midst of the furious struggle, when every heart was filled with resentment and indignation at the cruel outrages upon inno- cent and defenseless noncombatants and wanton and malicious destruction of private property, even the family portraits and heirlooms, and household effects essential to the comfort of the unprotected wives and children of the soldiers in the field.
“Contrast it with Sherman’s march to the sea and Sheridan’s raid in the Valley; with the wanton destruction by fire of the captured cities Atlanta, Columbia, Charleston; and finally with that order of that other Virginian, Hunter, by which the torch was applied even to the institutions of learning, and the building and library and apparatus, the accumulations of forty years of the Virginia Military Institute, and the library and apparatus of Washington College, endowed by the Father of His Country, perished in the angry flames; or contrast it with the conduct of Butler in New Orleans.
“In peace Grant gloriously triumphed over the passions engendered by war; but Lee, horrified by the heartless atrocities of the invading foe, in the midst of the enemy’s country, with every opportunity for revenge, triumphantly rose above all the natural instincts of the human heart for revenge, to inculcate and to practice the teachings of the Saviour of mankind, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay.’ Peerless, glorious Robert E. Lee! Glorious in prosperity – more glorious in adversity; glorious in victory – more glorious in defeat; resplendent in life – triumphant in death.
“What a monument is this to the character of the Southern army! One who followed Bragg through Kentucky could not have known by observation that an army had passed along the highway unless he had seen where it had camped at night, and not then because any fence had lost a rail or any orchard its fruit. Is there not something in the history of a people like that worth preserving? May no lessons here be drawn for the elevation of mankind; no memories worthy of the children of the South?
“We must not forget that a large number of the survivors of that conflict have taken up their abode in the Silent City, and those who remain are admonished that white heads are the companions of failing memories. Whatever they shall do by way of fixing the true status of the Confederate soldier must be done in the near future, for
To the past go more dead faces every year;
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us;
In the evening’s dust they greet us,
And to come to them entreat us, Every year.
May I be permitted to trespass a moment longer? It is of the Confederate soldiers in peace I would speak. I cannot – nor would I if I could – portray the ceaseless chain of wrong and oppression which followed in the wake of the great ‘Civil War,’ and it came upon a defenseless, desolated and impoverished land – a land rich in nothing but noble men and women and the precious memories of the glorious race from which they sprung and in the priceless heritage of high achievements.
If those who fell in battle could have spoken from their graves, they would scarcely have envied the fate of the survivors. Sir, if anything exceeds in constancy, in patience, in courage and fortitude, the Confederate soldier, who from 1863 to 1865, half-clad, hungry, and almost without hope of success, followed with weary but steady footsteps the tattered battle flags of the South until the star of the Confederacy went out, it was the same soldier who, for the decade that followed the war, in poverty and in want, disfranchised and despised, overrun by aliens and strangers, steadily and with a sublime constancy and devotion resisted wrong and oppression, turned his back upon place and power, while ignorance and dishonesty held high carnival, until, by the very logic of events, reason supplanted bitterness and passion, ignorance and vice gave way to intelligence and personal worth, and his long-deferred redemption came.
“Did any other people ever face and overcome adversity as did the Southern people? The same spirit which gave her armies unity, power, and endurance followed the survivors back to civil life to point the way to a new birth such as no other country has ever experienced. The South gave to her armies all of her male population, including beardless boys and gray-haired men, and they went from every walk, profession, and calling and station in life. Neither the bench, the pulpit, nor the institutions of learning were spared. All answered with alacrity and determination the call to arms.
“When it closed there were none upon whom to rely but the ex-Confederate soldier. He it was who took up the new problems which the changed conditions of his desolate land presented. Standing by the graves of his comrades, inspired by their noble deeds, chastened and disciplined by the horrors, self-denials, and sufferings of war, encouraged by the high achievements of his revolutionary sires, and loving to veneration the traditions of his ancestry, interwoven as they were with the history of his beloved South, undismayed but hampered by the prejudices and passions which war had left behind, he began the work of rebuilding her shattered fortunes and rehabilitating her dismantled commonwealths.
“But as the South had fought for the principle of local self-government and failed, so in the disjointed logic of the times she was to be denied its application in the re-establishment of her State governments. The South, yet unadjusted to its changed conditions, struggling under its burdens of misfortune and impending dangers, misjudged, misunderstood, and mistrusted, may have blundered in many things; and the great North, forgetting or ignoring the great qualities – the fidelity and honor, the genius for constructive statesmanship and good government which her fallen foe had always exhibited in war and in peace – gave rein to unrestricted passions and prejudices, alike harmful to itself and ruinous to the South.
“It sent the carpetbagger, who, aided by those who had never exercised the simplest rights of citizenship, were expected to set up and administer such governments as were fit for a people who, for nearly three-quarters of a century, had, in the main, guided and directed the splendid progress and development of the great republic.
“I would not dwell, if time permitted, upon the riotous conditions into which a helpless and defenseless people were plunged by this characterless horde of insatiable cormorants who assembled at our State capitols, to blaspheme the very name of civil government, and plot schemes to oppress a fallen foe, that they might prolong their opportunities for peculation. This is not the time nor place, but it must be left to the future historian, in the interest of truth and as a lesson to posterity, and as a warning to us all that there is no freedom where one man is permitted to govern others against their wills, to drag away the sheet that covers the rotten corpse of reconstruction. It fell, as in the nature of things it could not endure.
“Time gradually assuaged the passions of the war; commerce and business struggled under its withering influences and demanded better things; and the conscience of the great victorious North was stricken at the cruelties and follies and ruin it wrought; but a decade had passed, a weary, withering, blighting decade of misrule on the one hand, and patient endurance and long-deferred hope on the other. Again the ex-Confederate took up the burden of civil government.
“I think sometimes we forget the strong characters of those who, Moseslike, led us out of the wilderness of our woes. Few of them are now left, and their faces recede with the flying years. They were ex-Confederates, true and tried. Some yet live, and to call names would be invidious; but we owe them a double debt of gratitude, and to their memories reverence and love.
“With the South’s overwhelming problem still unsolved, she has nevertheless, under the auspices of her own people, fallen upon safe and peaceful, if not happy and prosperous, times. Her sons and daughters have resumed their rightful station, and whatever the future has in store of good for her must rest upon the traits and characteristics of her people. She will be patient; she will be prudent. To all the knightly and queenly virtues she will hold fast, trusting in God and the future for the noble and good. The South will not despair.
“I read the other day in one of Talmage’s sermons these words:
There is a flower in Siberia that blooms only in January, the severest month in that cold climate. It is a star-shaped flower, and covered with glistening specks that look like diamonds. A Russian took some of the seeds of that flower to St. Petersburg and planted them, and they grew, and on the coldest day of January they pushed back the snow and ice and burst into full bloom. They called it the snow flower; and it makes me think of those whom the world tries to freeze out and snow under, but who, in the strength of God, push through and up and out and bloom in the hardest weather of the world’s cold treatment, starred and radiant with a beauty given only to those who find life a struggle and turn it into victory.
“These sturdy, venerable veterans, bearing the scars and wounds of battle in their bitterest days, like the snow flowers of Siberia, pushed their way up and out and through all the ice and snows of the cold winters of adversity, and, thank God! they stand for all that is strong and conservative and safe in government. Will their posterity do less? Providence, as a kind Father, took by the hand our liberty-loving ancestors and guided them here. Generation after generation lived, ruled, and passed away, retaining the purity and freshness of virtuous power. Greed of gain and lust of power, culminating in plutocratic usurpation of all the branches of government, have never found favor or encouragement here. Our population, Anglo-Saxon still, has never been dominated by foreign elements ignorant and careless of the principles of our government and the practices of our fathers. We still have our splendid inheritance, except as modified – let us believe for the better – by war.
“I believe, as I live, that if our institutions are to be preserved, much – so much! – will depend upon this goodly South of ours. Our deepest concern should be for a better and more righteous national character. All the bounteous elements of earth and sky beckon us away from the base fascination of pelf which dishonors and destroys our country. Let us invite all her people into paths of law and order, inculcating peace, and keep alive our sense of justice and human freedom, and let all our advancement and growth be characterized by such a recognition of the rights of man as shall make her people feel that the blessings of Providence are theirs under a government of just and equal laws.
“May our beloved Southland build all her temples, not upon the shifting quicksands of selfish expediency, but upon the everlasting principles of right! Let us not forget that, in the great armory of Divine Providence, Justice forges her weapons long before her battles are fought; that in the everlasting courts of heaven every man must suffer the penalties of his disobedience, and all nations the penalty of injustice and wrong.
“Whatever may be our burdens or calamities, let us bear them with that courage and fortitude that becomes a just and a great people; and may our children and our children’s children be inspired to walk along the very mountain ranges of an enlightened Christian civilization, always in the path of duty, and preserve and keep sacred the same great qualities that made their ancestry respected and beloved of mankind!

I’m not an advocate of setting oneself on fire. As a practical matter, it proffers little utility. Moreover, the way things are going, in terms of your untimely demise, America probably has that one taken care of. The fun part is you don’t get to know when or how your ticket is getting punched.
That being said, I’m quite surprised more Americans aren’t setting themselves on fire. I’m not sure if this is a testament to American complacency or a form of grim resilience, but the vast majority of us haven’t set ourselves on fire and probably never will.

This doomed country is a grab bag of things to drive someone insane. The nutjob who set himself on fire outside the Trump trial raised some good points. For instance, that the government is a puppet show to cover for criminals who are actually in charge and that a collapse is coming. In other words, he was less crazy than the average American in terms of thinking that he could vote for something.
It could also be that the average American is too stupid to appreciate the gravity of our situation and therefore avoids venturing down the blackhole of pondering the implications of whatever dystopia they might find themselves confronted with at any given moment.
Honestly, this is probably why more people aren’t setting themselves aflame rather than some noble character trait. I feel the gravity pulling on me like it’s an anvil tied to my ankles while I try to swim across the deep end of the pool.
People often ask me “Tom, why haven’t you gone crazy yet?” Well, my sanity is tempered by the fact that I don’t expect anything better from America. In fact, I can’t fathom paying attention to anything going on and maintaining reasonable expectations about this being a functional country.

I had no idea who Mike Johnson was before he became Speaker, just like I had no idea who Mike Pence was before the 2016 Trump campaign. They’re simply these generic GOP creatures. I can’t remember his predecessor’s name, he was the one who was always crying, but I heard he now sells legalized marijuana, and his daughter is with a dreadlocked black guy. Sounds about right. Johnson has a black son and abhors racism. Pathetic is a perquisite.
At least Biden is a character, this can be said about most of the Democrats as well. I’m not saying they’re good characters, but it’s not like you could just crank these freaks out of a machine like GOP politicians stuffing the suits.
Sometimes, Democrats say stuff that’s hilarious. Joe Biden just claimed his uncle was eaten by cannibals and there was that black congresswoman who said we were going to colonize the moon pretty soon because it was mostly made out of gas. A chuckle is something positive, at least. Remember, we’re getting the same results out of them as we get out of the Republicans.
I don’t bother voting, but how could anyone who did expect that the Republicans were going to do anything about the border or stop funding slaughters in Gaza and Ukraine? They ought to change the name on my SPLC page to Nostradamus.

I’m not outraged by this shit because it’s what any rational person who wasn’t born yesterday should expect from the GOP. Do you think they have any sense of dignity whatsoever? A dog looking for scraps from the table conducts himself with more dignity than these creatures waiting obediently on their knees outside of Satan’s Synagogue with their ears pressed against the door.
What do Jews want? By this simple question, you can predict everything that the GOP is going to do, short of outright abolishing the 2nd Amendment. When it comes to these creatures, hope is a wound by which the craziness will fester in your heart. The human torch mentioned above said he spend 1,500 hours figuring this sort of stuff out, which means he had ample time to go insane.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t have hope, but you’re going to have to find it somewhere other than our political system. Where depends on yourself entirely. Perhaps it’s a bottle of scotch and a tray full of ice cubes waiting for you at home after a long day, maybe it’s the confirmation bias of watching the spectacle you predicted play out again and again. Schadenfreude could be the last bastion left in your psyche. There are so many creatures getting their comeuppance that you should never run out of it.
Whatever it is, if you let that fortification fall, I don’t think there’s any coming back. The sad reality is that stupidity and ignorance wrap around the average American like a warm pair of blankets. If you’re reading a publication such as this one, that condition doesn’t apply to you. Therefore, you must actively maintain your sanity in order to stave off the madness. Good luck.
Every single one of these stuffed suits will get what they have coming to them. Please don’t waste your time fretting about it. Congratulate yourself for not being one of them. Whatever your faults, at least you have that going for you.

The last three years and beyond have made it abundantly clear that the American Empire cares nothing for the future of young White men. This is especially true for young Southern men who are exceptionally hated and viewed with extreme suspicion by the American Empire. Numerous consequences are at play due to this antagonism, such as the decline in military recruitment and the rise of the American “competence crisis.”
The first issue, and one most easily understood by young White men, is regarding economic troubles. On the surface, the last three years of inflation have touched everyone (who isn’t rich). However, it has been particularly tough on young White men. This is related to how Corporate America operates (particularly the hiring process), as well as immigration. Young White men, for example, can’t check off any of the boxes that Corporate America desires. They want “people of color,” women, and sexual deviants. Most hiring agencies are filled with woke millennial women who will frequently overlook “cis-men,” and their corporate overlords will noddingly approve so they can brag about diversity and DEI initiatives. To make matters worse, unlike older men (Gen X and Boomers), we have little to no professional experience, as well as limited connections. Thus, aspiring young White men often remain unemployed (underemployed, if they’re lucky) and many are now giving up.
The Empire makes things worse by encouraging massive visas for foreign workers (Asians and Indians). This, of course, creates more competition that would have been unimaginable to older generations whose main competition was other skilled (American) White men. The problem also harms young White men without college degrees. While many of them can find blue-collar jobs easier, consumer price increases are eating into their earnings and damaging their ability to build up personal savings. Here, too, age hurts, as unlike other generations, we have almost no savings. Many younger guys live paycheck to paycheck. I’ve seen this firsthand with a friend, who is having to skip meals because inflation and taxes are gobbling up his paycheck. In short, if you’re a young White man, you’re entering a job market against unparalleled competition when compared to decades prior. Paired with racial and age discrimination, it’s making it nearly impossible for a young White man people to keep his head above water with the rising cost of living.
Another issue for young Southern White men is the Empire’s brutal domestic culture.
Modern media and shows demonize young White men. Everyone else is celebrated, while we’re being condemned as “racists” and “incels.” As someone who’s recently been on one of the big college campuses, in a liberal mecca, I can tell you how alien it feels to be in these progressive zones. We have no support networks beyond family, which a good deal of our generation also doesn’t have. Many young men are becoming socially isolated and cut off, especially after COVID. American “Cancel Culture” has become especially vicious to our young men. In this current environment, a guy could merely make a locker room or off-color joke and find himself doxxed, fired from his job (regardless of his proficiency and standing in the company), and permanently unemployable. Young men, at least the ones not ruined by soy and leftist nonsense, crave adventure and purpose. Modern America provides nothing but meaningless degeneracy and hedonism. Young White men take the brunt of the consequences of this. In many cases, it leads men into drugs, excessive gaming, fast food, drinking or even suicide. In some of the worst cases, it has led to mass shootings and other acts of senseless violence.
Modern America really doesn’t let young men be “men.” For example, if someone disrespects you as a man and you decide to call them out (verbally), you could be “canceled.” This is especially true if the offending party is a minority. Fisticuffs will land you in prison under hate-crime charges. If a woman is involved, expect various false charges, police reports, etc. Any altercation will be filmed via phone; and then you’ll be apprehended by the police and put on trial. In any event, you’ll likely end up economically bankrupt and/or in prison. In more sane times, young men fighting to settle a dispute was commonplace. Older generations often talk about fights they had when they were younger. However, in modern America, one physical altercation, no matter how minor, will end up with both parties being incarcerated.
The most personal challenge facing young White men is the dating game. According to the Pew Research Center, 63% of young men (18-29) are single. For young women, it’s only 34%. In this, there’s already a clear disadvantage to young men. Now, add on the end of traditional social networks designed to encourage community, dating, and courtship for young men (and women) and you have many men falling through the cracks. Churches, for example, direct most of their messages at women, older people, and younger couples/young parents. In many circumstances, the idea of just walking into a church as an outsider and thinking you’ll find a “good girl” is laughable in practice. You’re an outsider, and despite outward friendliness from most churches, the reality is that the young women in that church are already married or dating another member they already know.
Things only get worse outside the Church. In the real world, it’s practically the Wild West for dating. The churches, at least in theory, claim to practice abstinence and traditional values, but in the outside world “hooking up” is the norm. In the dating world of young men, we are dealing with non-virgins who still have attachment issues to their ex’s and/or former hook ups. In Gen Z, you also have many women who are homosexuals, whether lesbian or “bisexuals;” in either situation, they aren’t looking for a man nor should they (bisexual women) be considered girlfriend material. That 34% listed above also has numerous issues. Many guys with girlfriends will chuckle at these issues until it bites them in the backside, and it turns out their girl has been “talking” to other men. Social media, feminist propaganda, and dating apps have effectively produced a massive female population brimming with narcissistic, neurotic, liberal jezebels. While the dating pool isn’t entirely off-limits, it’s likely many of the good ones are off the market (married or have a serious boyfriend). To make matters worse, instead of providing useful and practical advice, young men are often mocked when they bring up these issues. This is downright shameful, considering just how new and unprecedented this issue is.
As a Gen Z Southerner, I can talk from personal experience that the modern world hates me. Sure, this doesn’t always boil down to the personal, I’d argue I get along well with people across the board in day-to-day interactions. However, the institutions of this country despise me and my ilk. In 2024, we are the ones disfranchised, abused, and considered as the societal pariah. Hollywood villainizes us, jobs refuse to hire us, and women, by and large, ignore us. “Our Democracy” is openly taking measures to make all of these civilizational poisons much worse. The ruling elite, a mixture of Yankees, Jews, and other degenerates, have opened our borders while taking a buzzsaw to traditional social networks like family, religion, and culture. For us, we won’t ever gaze upon the heroic monuments and statues of old. We won’t ever get to buy our own homes. Many of us will likely never be promoted due to our skin color and sex. We will be overlooked by judgmental, mediocre, self-worshiping young women ruling HR departments. The modernist society we live in today views us with suspicion and hatred.
In short, we, Young Fire-Eaters, have no reason to remain loyal or invested in the current regime. We should hate them, and we should be angry. We must work to see a day when that evil empire on the Potomac and its genocidal culture is gone. We must fulfill the dream of our gray coated ancestors by defeating the Yankee leviathan. Things have changed for the worse, but that doesn’t mean it’s permanent. When any empire collapses, new countries and peoples rise up. The 20th century is filled with many examples of this. Thus, while we face struggle now, we should rally around the fact that no empire, especially one so spiteful toward its own young men, survives indefinitely.
By rallying around the flag of a Free South, we can find hope in implementing a healthy Christian Southern society. When we get the chance to build a new country, we will clean away the moral rot, debauchery, and filth of the modern American Empire. We must work together to see to it that this happens. Our future Free Dixie will value, invest in, and better our young Southern men rather than treat them like the American Empire does – the reviled bottom-rung of a despicable caste system.

One thing that always fascinates me is how quickly conservatives will recognize that many modern events are bold-faced lies, but will then immediately trust everything in the historical narrative.
I am sure some of you share my thoughts.
The modern conservative will talk your ear off about how the government lies today. They’ll talk all about the modern conspiracies and even many times laugh about things like the Covid lies or the indoctrination happening in colleges or rail on about the lies impacting the Trump campaign.
They’ll even openly mock things like the history and political books being pushed on kids.
Which is not a bad thing. They are right on that point.
But then, as soon as you step into the historical narrative with these folks, suddenly nothing is a lie. You’re just a wacky conspiracy nut. Clearly to them, everything about history that they learned in school and was recorded in the history books is true.
Just suddenly, out of nowhere, now everything is a lie. But nothing back then was. Oh no, definitely not!
These people honestly believe that anything that the moderns say regarding any time period before roughly the 1800s is just fact. No lies can be found back then, apparently. Everything we think about those centuries is just magically trustworthy.
I consider this modern conservative’s misunderstanding about historical lies inexcusable. The reason why this particular problem is unforgivable is because of the conservatives open acknowledgment of modern lies. These aren’t leftists: These people can see the modern lie. They should be able to see the historical lie, as well.
The worst part is that the further you go back in history, the more solid they believe the narrative.
But us dissidents know better. The rulers and their pawns lie today and they lie about what happened yesterday.
In fact, the further you go back in history, the less secure we should be about the prevailing narratives because of the simple lack of original documents. But you’ll never be able to tell a modern conservative that.
A great example that I’ve written on previously is the so-called “Dark Ages“. Nearly every conservative (esp. Boomer Conservatives) that you meet will argue that this time period was just horrible. That no one would want to live then because we would all just be serfs slaving away.
The problem? That’s a complete lie. The Middle Ages were a great time.
Yet, the word “dark” is their entire conception of 1000 years of history, spanning multiple nations and countries and even continents. “It was all just horrible”. Why, you ask? “Because I was taught as a kid it was the Dark Ages—how spooky! Darkness is bad!”
I know this seems like a funny exaggeration, but it is true. It is what they believe. Go ask them. I have. It’s always the same response.
And why do they believe it? Because that’s what the modern narrative about history tells them.
Somehow these folks can break off and realize that Covid was a lie, but then they become completely blind when the same elites (who have been in charge this entire time) tell them what to believe about the Middle Ages. The conservative just can’t seem to piece this together.
The Enlightenment elites have been here since the 18th century, if not the 17th century. These are the very same elites that teach history and have instructed us what to believe about certain time periods. They give us the history books and narratives that we use to discern the past. Why would you disbelieve the modern history books but believe the older history books, written by the same Enlightenment-riddled fools?
Also, is it any mystery why these elites condemn Christendom so greatly? With even the most minor understanding of history, you can figure out why they do so. It is because the Enlightenment replaced Christendom (The “Dark Ages” so-called). The Enlightenment mindset was anti-God. So, of course, they teach you to hate the Middle Ages and to call them the ‘Dark Ages’, because that’s when Christendom reigned. They don’t wanna go back to that. But we should.
Heck, even the individuals that revived the term “Dark Ages” were humanist-individualist revolutionaries who hated Christ and Western Civilization. They literally wanted to burn it all down. So, they coined it the Dark Ages to make it seem negative. Now, so-called “conservatives” that want to “defend Western Civilization” use the enemy’s term to degrade and disparage our own heritage.
Idiots, the whole lot of them.
This lack of historical understanding applies to all modern narratives surrounding our history. Once you see it, you won’t be able to stop:
The summation is this: There is no difference between a historical lie and a modern lie.
They both share the same root. The elites teach their version of the historical lies to ensure that we stay within their operating framework under modernity, even if we reject modern lies. This is why conservatives keep losing ground.
To break out of it, we have to accept that a vast majority of what we have been taught, and what the average person believes, is a lie.
That includes both modern lies and historical lies about our heritage. Our elites, our media, and our cultural institutions all lie using both modern and historical lies. We can trust nothing they say.
This is not easy to do. I understand that. It requires diligent research to believe nearly anything about the modern world and the past world. But it is a task that we have to do. We have to put in that time.
And in fact, this was their whole goal this entire time:
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”– William J. Casey, CIA Director (1981)
This is the world they created. We have to accept that. We cannot trust anything they say; now or then.
The modern conservative does not have much of an excuse for falling into this trap. They know about the modern lies, so they should not be trusting the historical lies.
Rejecting modernity means rejecting all the lies. Not just the ones that we want to or that are convenient. We must accept that our old history books don’t always say the truth. Just as—newsflash—modern history books often don’t share the truth.
Do not trust the historical narrative so easily. Historical lies are just as powerful as modern lies. Many of the problems us dissidents have today exist because many on the Right still hold to the lies about our history. This is no minor issue for us.
Power, greed, corruption, and evil itself share the same roots from the very beginning of humanity. Each of them has that very strong need to keep The Lie(s) alive.

I hope it may never be said of the South that she has ceased to appreciate the sacrifices of her men or the patient endurance of her women in her hour of darkness and need. I saw the widow yield to her country her eldest born, on whom she leaned to manage her estate; then another and another son in quick succession until her baby boy of sixteen was called. I saw the wife bid good-bye to the husband, and draw close to her breast the little ones who depended on him for bread, and looking aloft cry: “God pity us.” How fondly do I remember the contending emotions of fervent patriotism, love, and pride in my own heart as I saw my young husband start to the front arrayed in the suit of gray which my willing hands had woven, cut, and made. He who was mine now yielded to God and his country. Shall the South ever forget these things? Never! Sweep away the dust of time! Let nothing dim their lusters! As Rizpah, in sacred writ, stood guard over the bodies of the dead whom she might not bury, and drove away the vultures which would have fed on their bodies, so we will resist and drive away the unholy touch of every harpy who would drag down in the dust the sacred memories of the past. It ennobles us to write of noble deeds. It enkindles in our breasts the sacred flame of heroism, and the hovering spirits of our dead heroes shall inspire us to emulation.
Martha Neel Northen (1839-1918)
(Note to readers: Part IV of this series may be found here; links to the three previous parts are accessible from that part as well.
Mrs. Northen’s patriotic “Appeal to History” forming my epigraph closely resembles sympathetic contemplations my mind has conjured many times in recent years; contemplations upon the sad and pitiful scene as it must have unfolded, when e.g. Mrs. Cary Ann Anderton Morris lovingly embraced, as she said goodbye for the last time to, her farmer husband, Benjamin, and her two eldest sons, Leonard(18) and Seborn(16), sending her men off to defend home and fireside, and the Southern way of life. With a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat have I so closely imagined the scene Mrs. Northen’s first-hand account describes in her missive, to wit:
“I saw the wife bid good-bye to the husband, and draw close to her breast the [four remaining] little ones who depended on him for bread, and looking aloft cry: ‘God pity us.’” While her husband and sons survived the war, Mrs. Morris regrettably did not. It is with perfect assurance as well that my inclusion of such an appeal by such an one as Mrs. Northen to head any portion of his public speeches touching upon the Just Cause of Confederates and the Confederacy, our able orator-historian would, I trust, warmly embrace and approve. In the spirit of Mrs. Northen’s appeal therefore, I give you Part V of “The South Vindicated,” by Judge John Henry Rogers, Esq.):
“To me the sweetest and noblest chapter in the book of our misfortunes and sorrows was the treatment which the South accorded the fallen chief of the Confederacy. His was a pure, a great, and an incorruptible career. He had served the Union with great distinction in high stations, in war and in peace. No ambitious longings for place or power now remained. All hope for his preferment had gone out in the darkness of defeat. Imprisoned and in irons, he suffered for them all. Released without trial, no plea for pardon, disfranchised, broken in health, and tottering with care and age, he returned to his people, to be welcomed as no other man, and in the calm dignity of a private citizen, in his quiet home, he remained their idol, their counselor, and their friend, devoting the last days of his noble life to the preparation of a defense and justification of that people for whom he had been made a vicarious sacrifice. He had never lost their faith, their confidence, their admiration, or their love. There is something strong and deserving of all honor in a people like this.
“We are assembled here for no ignoble ends. We are here to revive no issues settled by that unhappy conflict. We are not here to defame others, or pervert or warp the truth. We are not here to exaggerate or magnify the glory or virtues of one section of our common country at the expense of another; nor are we here to desecrate this occasion, by the gratification of personal ambition, or the acquirement of social distinction or political preferment. We are here that mankind may not forget, or falsehood nor calumny cloud or tarnish the calm judgment of posterity, as to the sincerity of the motives and the honorable conduct of the Confederate soldiers.
“We affirm our desire that our children may understand these things; that they may the more reverence their ancestry; that they may know of their sufferings and sacrifices and be able to defend their good names, and, proud of their achievements, emulate, in the great struggles of the future, if such await our country, the fidelity, patriotism, love of home and country attested by the veterans of 1861 on a hundred bloody battlefields.
“Who would have them forget the Lees, the Johnstons, the Jacksons, and the Hills? Who would have them forget Bragg, Beauregard, Hardee, Price, Polk, and Hood? Who would have them forget that great wizard of the saddle, Bedford Forrest, and our own little Joe Wheeler, Pat Cleburne, the lamented Walthall, and innumerable others? Who would have us forget the grand old man yet with us, and others still spared; and the hosts who made for them names that can never perish from the earth as long as genius and courage and patriotism challenge the admiration of mankind?
“Who would have them ignorant of the glorious charge of Pickett and others at Gettysburg? Who would have them forget the death struggle at Franklin, Tenn., where the Confederates won a glorious victory, but at a cost of eleven general officers killed and wounded and six thousand men – nearly one-fifth of the army – in five hours? Where Gist and Adams and Strahl and Granberry and the intrepid Pat Cleburne fell in the very forefront of battle, and around them in great numbers were strewn their gallant dead?
“Who would have them forget Chickamauga, where friendly darkness shielded the army of the Cumberland from destruction? Who would have them forget Jackson in the Valley of Virginia, whose campaigns have challenged the military critics of England and Germany to find a single error? Dr. Hunter McGuire, Jackson’s corps surgeon, in an address delivered in Richmond in 1897, made this statement:
Therefore it is with swelling heart and deep thankfulness that I recently heard some of the first soldiers and military students of England declare that within the past two hundred years the English-speaking race had produced but five soldiers of the first rank – Marlborough, Washington, Wellington, Robert Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. I heard them declare that Jackson’s campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, in which you, and you and myself in my subordinate place, followed this immortal, was the finest specimen of strategy and tactics of which the world has any record; that in this series of marches and battles there was never a blunder committed by Jackson; that his campaign in the Valley was superior to either of those made by Napoleon in Italy.
One British officer, who teaches strategy in a great European college, told me that he used this campaign as a model of strategy and tactics, and dwelt upon it for several months in his lectures; that it was taught for months in each session in the schools of Germany, and that Von Moltke, the greatest strategist, declared it was without a rival in the world’s history. This same British officer told me that he had ridden on horseback over the battlefields of the Valley, and carefully studied the strategy and tactics there displayed by Jackson; that he had followed him to Richmond, where he joined with Lee in the campaign against McClellan in 1862; that he had followed him in his detour around Pope, and in his management of his troops at Manassas; that he had studied his environment of Harper’s Ferry and its capture, his part in the fight at Sharpsburg and his flank movement around Hooker – and that he had never blundered. Indeed, he added, “Jackson seemed to be inspired.” Another British officer told me that “for its numbers the Army of Northern Virginia had more force and power than any army that ever existed.”
“It is cruel to discriminate, but this tribute from such a source is too rich to be lost. It should go into history as the priceless heritage of our people. I ought not to specify, but will you bear with me for one further incident, pathetic as it is heroic, and glowing with the spirit which animated the sacred dead we strive to honor?
“At Lexington, Va., where the remains of Gens. Lee and Jackson now sleep, is the Virginia Military Institute. It was in successful operation in May, 1864, when Seigel advanced up the Valley. Gen. John C. Breckinridge was sent with an inadequate force to arrest his advance. A corps of cadets, boys seventeen and under, from this school, consisting of a battalion of four companies of infantry, and a section of three-inch rifled guns, were ordered to report to him at Staunton.
“The march was made in two days. Two or three short marches brought him in touch with Breckinridge’s veterans. Their bright, gaudy uniforms, clean and new, their smooth, girlish faces, trim step, and jaunty airs subjected them to severe raillery and all manner of fun from the old soldiers. Breckinridge did not want to use them if it could be avoided.
“Having determined to receive the tack of Seigel at New Market, the boy corps was ordered, in a beating rain, to report to Gen. Echols. It was not long until the bright, new uniforms, bedraggled with rain and mud, presented the corps in a dilapidated and pitiable state; but they moved on and took position on the extreme left of the reserve line of battle. Wharton’s brigade was in advance, and the boy-corps, brigaded with Echols, was in the reserve.
“The order to advance soon came. A slight knoll was reached, and the batteries opened; but, not having the range, little damage was done to Wharton’s men. But when Echols’s men reached it they had the range, and their fire began to tell with fearful accuracy. Let their Colonel tell the rest. He says:
Great gaps were made through the ranks; but the cadet, true to his discipline, would close in to the center to fill the interval, and push steadily forward. The alignment of the battalion under this terrible fire, which strewed the ground with killed and wounded for more than a mile on open ground, would have been creditable even on a field day. They moved steadily forward for more than a mile beyond New Market. When within three hundred yards of the enemy’s batteries, they opened with canister, case shot and long lines of musketry at the same time. The fire was withering – it seemed impossible that any living creature could escape and here we sustained our heaviest loss. The commander fell, but a cadet captain took command of the battalion and moved forward until they had gotten into the first line, when all took shelter behind a fence, and then, after a few minutes, with a shout, a fusillade, and a rush, the enemy fled and the day was won.
“They had gone as far as the best troops in the army. There were none to guy them then. They had challenged the love and admiration of the veterans of the Army of Northern Virginia, and fifty-two of their battalion, of the two hundred and fifty composing it, killed and wounded that day, won them a place they can never lose in history. I cannot tell you what it was that inspired those beardless boys to deeds of noble bearing and death. Whatever it was ran through the Confederate armies.
“These were the sons of the old South. Is it to be despised? Where shall brighter or nobler examples of heroism and sacrifice be found? And may I not revert to the manner in which the war was conducted by the Confederates? To this I point with justifiable pride. It was a splendid race of men that built up the old South. They were the descendants of the Cavaliers. They, like other men, had their faults, but they cherished the glorious memories of a long line of ancestry who despised all that was contemptible, little, and mean; they were sticklers for the observance of the highest sense of honor; they built their lofty characters on the observance of the truth; they hated moral and physical cowardice, and their homes were the habitations of virtue, chivalry, and hospi- tality; but they were conservative; they were lovers of home and the devoted friends of civil and religious liberty. They believed in as little government as was consistent with the maintenance of law and order, and that whatever went beyond this was an infringement upon the liberty of the individual, destructive of that love the citizen owed the State, and tended to destroy the self-reliance and independence of the individual upon whose love, strength, and manhood rested the temple of free constitutional government. What contributions they have made to the betterment of mankind, and what inspiration they have given the great masses who have builded this wonderful country of ours!
“The great Mississippian, the lawyer, the statesman and the General, as great in peace as in war, himself having borne a conspicuously brilliant and honorable part in the heroic struggle of which I speak, in an address delivered at the unveiling of a monument to the Confederate dead at Jackson, Miss., said of these men of the old South of whom I speak, that: “From among them came the statesman who wrote the Declaration of Independence; and, strange as it may sound in this day of universal freedom, it is said that all who signed the Declaration, except those from the State of Massachusetts, and perhaps one or two others, were slave-holders.
“From among them came the Father of His Country, the Father of the Constitution, and the greatest of all its expounders. At the head of the great armies, in the presidential office, in cabinet and court, and in all the nation’s high councils, everywhere in peace and in war, great Southern lights illuminate the annals of America, and shed upon our country’s name its chief honor and renown. From the foundation of the government, through all the epochs of peace and arms, down to 1861, Southern statesmen and orators, Southern philosophers and judges, Southern patriots and soldiers have enacted the brightest chapters of this country’s history, and to them we are indebted for the fundamental sources of its present power.
“The descendants of such men as these conducted the war on the Confederate side. Is it surprising that it was conducted on the highest plane of modern warfare? In no single instance is it recorded, even in the partisan histories already written, that ruin and desolation followed in the footsteps of its armies; nor that their marches were known by “pillars of fire by night and clouds of smoke by day,” nor that the birds of the air could not follow them without carrying their rations.” […] [To be continued in Part VI]

April 9th, a day adorned with many martyrs –
Abbot Hedda of Peterborough,
Abbot Theodore of Crowland,
And dozens of other English monks
Cut asunder by the Viking Danes;
Bishop Desan of Persia with companions
In the hundreds, sentenced by Sapor;
Massylitan Martyrs of northwest Africa,
Honored by saints, Augustine and Bede;
New Martyrs of Lesbos, monks Raphael
And Nicholas, cruelly tortured
By the Turks, the first sawn through the jaw,
The second died at the gruesome sight,
The children Eleni and Irene,
Mistreated and murdered, too:
Eleni beaten fiercely,
Irene lost an arm
And suffocated in a cask
With a fire blazing underneath –
Several more died with them.
On April 9th hosts of martyrs
Finished their trials and received their crowns
From the Victor over Death, Christ our God.
On April 9th the Southern people
Began their martyrdom at Appomattox,
A contest not quick like those of others,
But slow and subtle, full of cunning,
As Yankee apostates, devils, demons,
And other swindlers attempt to draw
Dixie’s folk away from the Soul-mender,
The Flesh-healer, her Savior Jesus Christ.
The weight of years presses upon us,
Many have fallen into the traps of temptation,
The desire to give up grows stronger.
But only the athlete who competes
Can win a worthy crown.
The Southron who quits,
Who sits him down to rest,
Who forsakes Christ and his Southern kin,
Will receive a little pleasure now,
But never-ending shame and torment
After his body breathes its last.
Not so the faithful Southron,
Who will suffer and even die
For God and for his fathers,
Suffer so that Dixie may live on,
Make a sacrifice of themselves
As did Maury, Mosby,
Ashby, and Hill. He will receive
An imperishable crown from the Hand of God,
And an honored place in the Heavenly Southland,
Where all the redeemed of Dixie will gleam
With the Uncreated Light of Christ,
Like the Martyrs of April 9th,
Like the martyrs of other days and years and lands –
Sharing in their spirit,
They will likewise share in their reward –
Whom they will never tire of praising,
With the Father and the Holy Ghost,
Now and to the ages of ages. Amen.

I’ve written about this one before when I mused about starting a consequences consulting firm, but for the benefit of any new readers, here’s my advice on a certain race expressed in probability theory:
As the number of African Americans involved in your life increases, the probability of your murder approaches 1.
There’s a less polite phrase about the combustion of an ancient, compressed form of carbon as well. You might’ve heard of it, but I’m not the sort of gentleman who spouts crude aphorisms and racial slurs. What I’m trying to do today is note a series of things impacting our society and speculate about the implications.
First, I’d like to note that law enforcement and the public school system are in place to deal with blacks. Every miscreant this planet has to offer is flooding into America these days, but originally, blacks were why we have these systems. They’re actually nonessential for white people.
If left to ourselves, schools would be organized based on various secular and religious communities while some people would school their children at home. The education provided would actually be far superior to the current public schools, whose primary directives are not punishing blacks and not giving them worse grades than whites.
It’s the same thing with the police. White people have conducted most of their historical existence without modern police forces and done just fine. The police are good at stuff like keeping white people from driving drunk, and sure that’s good, but society still got by better than it is today when driving around drunk wasn’t a big deal. Most Europeans just walk home drunk because they didn’t have to spread out to flee blacks. There’s often nowhere to park in front of their drinking establishments anyway.
The police are here to deal with black people. When Jason Aldean came out with his controversial small-town ballad, it was hilarious because everyone knew he was referring to the inhuman criminal pastimes of blacks, including blacks who flipped out because they knew he was specifically referring to them:
“Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light.”
He might as well have just written: “Don’t let the sun go down on you in my small town, n-words. Nooses ain’t meant for hangin’ empty from trees.” The sentiments conveyed would’ve been the same. That’s what the whole uproar was really about. I don’t advocate lynching or any form of extrajudicial violence, as a disclaimer.
Back on track, the reason America has these systems to deal with blacks is that they can’t deal with themselves because they’re not genetically coded with the innate capacity for civilization.

Broken leg. Four teens. We’re told their demonstrable lack of civilizational capacity is the result of all sorts of terms for racism, white supremacy, not given enough resources, and the legacy of slavery, but really, it’s rather simple. Sub-Saharan Africans have DNA from a pre-hominid ancestor not shared by any other race.
As a whole, this is probably what imbues them with a set of definitive traits such as poor intelligence, a lack of impulse control, an inability to think with a significant degree of abstraction or internal monologue, and a very short time horizon. These traits don’t result in a civilization. Without contact by other races, it constrains them to a hunter-gatherer existence. They’re programmed to be fine with that, which is the same reason that white people assume blacks are stressed out from all the shootings. In reality, they’re not, which is why they shoot so much. This existence would stress (product of a longer time horizon) us out for the same reason we don’t shoot each other for no good reason.
This wide genetic disparity also gives them some distinct physical features which is why AI can confuse them with apes because it’s just doing math on facial points. That’s why it’s so cringe when white conservatives claim they don’t consider that someone is black. This is impossible, their brains are automatically performing pattern recognition and recognizing them as alien. I had one flip out on me once at a barbeque when I casually noted that random blacks had been calling my phone. He became indignant and inquired how I could have known they were black and threatened to report me to my CO.
It was initially considered that blacks were a species of ape by Christians, Muslims, and Jews, but eventually the Catholic Church declared them human because it was determined that they possessed a degree of spiritual capacity. In the South, some slave owners would let them attend church while others wouldn’t, deeming it of no relevance to them. Everybody has to make up their own mind on these religious matters.

There’s this other canard about how American slaves weren’t taught to read because then they’d revolt after developing their intellectual potential that I’d like to address. If reading would’ve been of no utility to their labors, and if after years of modern public schooling many of them still can’t read, why would race-realist slave owners have bothered?
Literate slaves were common in civilizations of antiquity. In the Islamic world, a slave might serve the function of a prime minister. In Roman times, literate slaves might be privy to the highest matters of state or tutor the children of the elite. Nearly every mother of the Ottoman sultans was a slave. Our slaves were treated the way they were because of the traits previously outlined.
Being a slave or free wouldn’t change these traits, which, as I’ve noted, are genetic. In these other civilizations, there were also distinctions, often rather grim, in how black slaves were treated compared to slaves from other races. In contrast, we were often downright egalitarian. For example, whites were shipped on the same ships by the same companies using the same packing methods all the way down to Australia from Britain and no blacks were subjected to genital amputation.
Kingdoms like Nubia, Kush, and the fabled Mansa Musa are cited as evidence of African civilization. In reality, blacks were held as large slave populations. It would be like saying an antebellum plantation was an African agricultural operation because hundreds of blacks were working the fields. I could get into the Moors and the Pyramids nonsense. Sometimes it’s fun, but it feels rather tiresome today.
So, the long-winded point I’m making here is that nobody is going to impose a degree of civilization on them, they can’t do this for themselves even if they felt so inclined, which collectively, they don’t. Thus, bad actors who hate Christ can weaponize them to undo the civilization in which they’re currently located in the name of racial justice and equality. This is our current predicament.
Therefore, I’d like to note that although blacks aren’t adept at logic, there’s an escalatory logic to their civilizational dysfunction: it will just get worse until things fall apart. In this regard it’s no different from the trannies and wars or any other aspect of the evil madness that drives our persecutors.
This is crazy.

I’m not an idealist who thinks the ship will be turning around, but in preparation for coming out of the other end of calamity, I think it would be useful to point out that blacks are behaving the way they are, because that’s who they are. Conservatives will talk about the content of your character and platinum plans, so that’s why our dissident content sphere is obligated to point out cold reality and common sense.
I was just trying to remember why I brought this topic up today. It was because I watched a few minutes of the new Resident Evil series last night which turned out to be about black scientists. I’m not sure where I’m rambling, but things aren’t going to improve through leniency or giving them free stuff and privileges at our expense.
If we’re not going to enforce most laws against them either, the concept of separation actually becomes quite reasonable. People would just naturally do that anyway if we weren’t subjected to decades of black weaponization schemes.
I’d ask these conservatives if they’d like to be able to shop at stores or not? Would they like to eat a stray round or not? Would they like to be sucker punched on a sidewalk or not? Would they like their elderly mother carjacked at a red light or not? Alright then, there’s only one solution.
Practical solutions are important, while utopian idealism is unhelpful. In that scenario, I’d have these conservatives rounded up, too. They’d desperately wish they were receiving the black treatment.

If I may, I’ll continue on the theme of occupying space and residing in the places which belong to our people. This land is ours, by blood and toil, and we need to always remind outsiders that they are guests, and they stay at our discretion.
I’ll start by telling an absolutely true story, a recent event I witnessed out in the wild.
Hotel lobbies are interesting venues, you can just sit back and watch, something or someone interesting will soon grab your attention. I had just arrived back at my hotel following a long day of meetings, they were nothing special, just normal boring business stuff. That was until, looking to my left and into the hotel lobby, the area where they serve the morning breakfast, it appeared a perfect storm was gathering. My appetite to play the cultural spectator was about to be satisfied. What was to become something fantastical in an anthropological study was transpiring, and I had a front row seat.
Foreigners, all of one ethnicity and all happily socializing in the common area, were finishing up their meals. This particular food has a distinctive and vibrant smell, one that usually makes me ill; although, on this occasion the smell was dispersed enough that the impact was minimal. So, I sat and observed. The group had completely taken over the entire lobby; men, women, and children. All the men dressed in business casual (silk and polyester) and the women in more traditional tribal attire. A group of about 200 were set to occupy that space for some time. Well, until something happened.
Out of nowhere, a stocky bald White man swaggered into the lobby, in his hands he carried a few bottles of liquor. After assessing the situation, I assumed he would just walk back up to his room. He didn’t, instead he noticed the large crowd occupying all but one little spot at a table. The table was nearly in the center of where the foreign colonists had planted their flag. This unassuming, yet I would say, bold man had no inhibitions about projecting a bit of gravitas in the middle of all these foreigners. He placed his bottles down, kindly asked one young man if he would move over and began to drink. It was obvious that the crowd was rather shocked with this audacious move. I suppose that they assumed their numbers would deter anyone else staying at the hotel from intruding into their joyful, though exclusionary, gathering. However, they soon learned that this lone White man was not intimidated, and he was not alone.
One by one, as I observed, the man’s friends began to join him. You could tell by the way they greeted each other and by their accents – they were Southern. And as their conversation grew in volume, the foreigners gently rippled away from the growing number of natives. Many awkward glances came from the crowd as these sudden new arrivals, a little more than a dozen, sent the outsiders to flight. In less than 20 minutes, the vast majority of the occupiers had scattered. However, in a desperate last counter-offensive, the organizers of the foreign crowd sent the night manager (also of the same tribe) over to these Southern men, demanding them to disperse and not drink in the lobby. This was on the pretense of impressionable children being present. Interestingly, the manager picked the least intimidating and youngest of the new arrivals to demand immediate compliance, sighting this newly discovered regulation.
After noticing the exchange, the original stocky bald man moved in to counter the incursion by the night manager. Ever so gently, but firm, he lectured the usurper, explaining that he had read every policy regarding the lobby, and nothing in the hotel terms prohibited his fellowship from congregating in the lobby for drinks. In full retreat, the manager departed, and the battle was over. The colonizers were set to flight, the bureaucracy had been put in its place, and these Southern men had retaken the lobby, projecting dominance over a numerically superior force, and without being obnoxious.
In so many places, even in small Southern towns, intruders have taken up residence in our common areas. And many times, we have willingly abandoned these spaces, areas our ancestors built, in a cowardly attempt to avoid contact and confrontation with people who have no right to commandeer them as their own.
It’s time to retake these areas. Gather together in large enough quantities, go to these locations, and displace the invaders. Retake Everything!
In the next few articles, I’ll discuss how this is happening already, and in multiple segments within our culture.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!
The post Retake Everything appeared first on Identity Dixie.
One of the more common claims of the anti-White, and especially anti-Southern, Left is that they need to launch a full throttled attack on the symbols and history of the West because, “Whites have not made amends for the harm they’ve done.” Now, of course, this is a one-sided way of looking at history. Although some evil may have been committed by White conquerors in the past, there was no real difference in the harms committed by the West and the mistreatment committed by Islamic or Chinese conquerors. However, the West did also provide more benefits by ending certain horrific cultural practices, such as sati (widow burning) in India. But there is also a deeper problem with this line of thought from the Left. The reality is that no matter what the West does to compensate for its past crimes, both real and imagined, nothing will ever be enough to satisfy the Left, nothing short of Whites committing mass suicide across the globe. We know this because of the massive cultural shift that has occurred in the United States over the last 50 years – the reappraisal of the legacy of western expansion in America, and with that, the death of the Western film genre. Despite this massive victory, the Left will not give one iota of thanks and, as such, we should not expect that any acquiescence will satisfy them. They do not want you to simply be honest about your history, they want you dead and your children either gone or self-hating eunuchs.
Needless to say, this article will briefly address the history of the American Indian. Additionally, there is something that must be discussed – the tendency of Southerners to take a largely sympathetic view of the American Indian. I think this inclination is based on three pillars: 1) family stories of being “part Indian” and passed down from generation to generation (Cherokee princess), 2) respect for a worthy adversary, and 3) sympathy from a shared history of conquest. To address each of these points one by one:
None of this is to say that atrocities were not committed, they did occur. However, this is not about providing some nuance with how history is presented; this is about using history to beat the White race into submission.
Now, with that out of the way, a very clear example of Whites submitting to the Left and getting nothing in return can be observed with the death of the Western. As odd as it is to say now, when Westerns are made sparingly, from the late 1930s to the early 1970s Westerns were some of the biggest box office draws and had quite a few of the biggest legends in the film industry, such as John Wayne, John Ford, Jimmy Stewart, etc. But then something happened: as the Vietnam War heated up and the Left radicalized, they began to take a critical look at the legacy of westward expansion, the Old West, and the Western genre. Drawing from earlier radical scholars, the Left began to push a new narrative that painted American western expansion as one of the great crimes of history. Eventual, this seeped into the broader culture, cumulating in a seismic shift around 1970 with the release of the film version Little Big Man and Dee Brown’s book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. In just the space of a few short years, the public’s perception of the American frontier went from one of pride, viewing it largely as an example of heroic bravery, to one of cultural shame. There is a reason the American Indian population took an unexpected jump in the 1980 census when compared to the 1960 census, one that was far too large and could not be explained by an increase in the birthrate. In the years between 1960 and 1980, a considerable amount of White people decided they were really American Indians, largely doing so for the social credit.
And this had a major impact on the Western genre. Throughout the 1970s, the Western began to slip in popularity, becoming a smaller and smaller segment of the film industry’s output until the release of Heaven’s Gate in 1980. Heaven’s Gate is a great film, but at the time of its release it was a complete disaster – destroying the once promising career of director Michael Cimino, United Artists, and even the Western itself. Westerns were already in decline, and some have been made since, but the Western is like no other genre in that the success of one film does not guarantee a legion of imitators. From 1989 to1995, Hollywood mostly considered the horror genre dead – with the best films either being non-U.S. (Dust Devil), ignored upon release (Castle Freak), or repackaged as “thrillers” to avoid the stigma of Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees (Silence of the Lambs). But all it took was the success of Scream in 1996 to kick horror back into high gear. This is not the case with Westerns, even the massive back-to-back successes of Dances with Wolves and Unforgiven could not bring the genre back to prominence.
What this means is that White America abandoned a genre that they had grown up with and, critically, an art form they could call their own (with all respect to Sergio Leone). All of this is thanks to the Left, and the Left’s response is to act like it never happened and that Americans still largely believe in a “white hat vs. black hat” view of the Old West. This shift becomes all the more spectacular when one considers just how long ago it was. For the sake of simplicity, let’s assume that the last generation for whom Westerns were largely a staple of their early cinematic diet were born in 1963. That makes them 60 in 2023, a mere five years from retirement. Those who were born after 1963 did not, as a generation, grow up on Westerns and, as such, their exposure to the genre came only if: 1) they had traditional parents that wanted them to watch something wholesome and masculine (like me), or 2) they fell in love with films and wanted to see those classic Westerns (also like me).
All this might be understandable, if not excusable, if classic Hollywood Westerns really were the mindless celebration of the slaughter of American Indians the Left imagines. But this is a pathetic stereotype – even during the classic period, the better films of the genre presented far more nuance than the Left cares to admit. Perhaps no actor gets it on the nose on this issue more than John Wayne, but if one examines the four best Westerns of his career, The Searchers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance by John Ford and Red River and Rio Bravo by Howard Hawks, a more complex image emerges. In both Red River and The Searchers, Wayne plays men on a mission who are unable to regulate their passions; as such, their missions, although virtuous, become their masters and it nearly leads them to ruin (Wayne is all but playing Captain Ahab in The Searchers). The film’s best scene illustrates the dark side of Wayne’s character. Meanwhile, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is willing to admit that much of what makes up popular understandings of the Old West is indeed rooted in myth, but it also has some maturity and is willing to admit that those myths, while not true, do have significant societal value (I’m dancing around the ending for the benefit of those who have not seen it, if that is you, go correct this mistake ASAP). Rio Bravo, to be sure, is a celebration of heroism, but it’s not actually supposed to be realistic. There is a reason the sets were built to 7/8th scale for the final shootout – so the actors looked larger than life.
Despite all of this, it was not enough. Because it will never be enough. If giving up such an important and valuable artform like the Western will not cause the Left to give pause or thanks, what do you think can be reasonably done to please them? We should take the lessons from the death of the Western to heart. To the Left, literally nothing has changed since the 1950s, and even their memories of that period are largely distorted. We must learn from the mistakes of the past. Thanks largely to the Left, the Western has been abandoned, and we did not even get a “thank you” in return. It would be madness to expect something different this time.

While old news at this point, the infamous rightwing populist Mississippi Senator, Chris McDaniel, failed to win the lieutenant gubernatorial Republican primary against Establishment incumbent Delbert Hosemann with 42.8% of the GOP vote. Of course, this is of no surprise. Hosemann refused to debate McDaniel and had many of his Democrat friends encourage cross party voting in a Republican primary in order to win. Furthermore, it is incredibly rare for an incumbent to be unseated in Mississippi. These Boomers do not seem interested in passing the torch anytime soon even though they have already snuffed out the flames.
With this in mind, Southern politicians loathe populism. It historically thrives among working-class Whites and has not changed from that demographic today. To give some context, the Redeemers who ousted the Radical Republicans from Dixie and brought an end to the Reconstruction Era paled in comparison to their forebears. The antebellum aristocracy had been eradicated and was replaced with a political elite comprised of lesser sons, businessmen, lawyers, stakeholders, middle managers, and railroad executives. To put it bluntly, these men were neither prepared nor bred to rule, and their track records by the end of it all reflected this. By the 1880s, they had already turned to the same sort of corruption the Radicals were universally accused of.
Various agrarian populist movements, to include the Greenbacks, Farmers’ Alliance, and the Populist Party, occurred during the 1880s and 1890s, most of which failed. The Southern political machines were simply too powerful to vote out in most places. It was not a secret that these machines were based in the densely populated Black Belt counties. As such, populist rural Caucasians began pushing for restrictions on negro voters due to the politicians using the latter as a means of negating White votes and staying in power. Seeing the writing on the wall, Mississippi ratified its 1890 “Jim Crow” Constitution, the only state to do so prior to the Populist Party movement of the 1890s. Whereas this would have the effect of restricting the negro vote because of property and literacy requirements, it also provided a check on Caucasian populist voters via the implementation of the poll tax. The poll tax disfranchised a large number of poor Whites and was designed specifically to target that demographic, a fact often forgotten. Southern populism would not find the true extent of its potential until the adoption of White primaries in the early 1900s. For more information on the topic, read Redneck Liberal: Theodore G. Bilbo and the New Deal by Chester Morgan, Revolt of the Rednecks: Mississippi Politics, 1876-1925 by Albert Kirwan, and Origins of the New South, 1877–1913 by C. Vann Woodward. After a slew of populist leaders during the first half of the 20th Century, Southern populism has been effectively dead since the end of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
Fast forward to today, and modern populism has failed to penetrate any political machines or seize any real political power despite the various movements since the 1990s. Pat Buchannan, Ron Paul, the Tea Party, MAGA, the Alt-Right, and more have all failed. At the state level all across the South and conservative America, this also rings true with the only real success within 30 years having been Ron DeSantis in Florida, and there is no telling who will fill his shoes once he is out of the governor’s mansion.
To bring this all back full circle, it is amazing how staunchly “conservative” states seem incapable of passing any right-of-center legislation or allowing any voters to actually vote in major social policies. This rings especially true for Mississippi, the supposedly most conservative state in the Union. Gay marriage, abortion, immigration, selling off of vast swathes of rural land to timber for New England companies, and the state flag have all failed to receive any public votes. It also has not yet escaped this author’s notice that not a single public opinion poll of the Magnolia flag has been released, and all sorts of political corruption shenanigans occur, quite openly, during every major social push by the Left or during elections. While unremitting populism of the masses is generally not something to be desired, but it does provide an excellent check on unrestricted tyranny of the business-lawyer political elite. Aristocracy is not a bad thing, and the South has languished since its extermination in the 1860s. Even the Bible makes it obvious that a social hierarchy is needed for civilizational stability and health. Where do you think high culture comes from?
So, it came as a bit of a shock to myself when I came across an article advocating for allowing citizens to vote on abortion in a similar manner to how other states do it. I find it pretty wild when Establishment “journalists” push for a bastardized left-populism when they feel as though it could potentially be beneficial to them. Funny how that works.
It is also pretty striking just how non-Boomer these conservative populist politicians are. Chris McDaniel and Melanie Sojourner of Mississippi, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Marjorie Taylor-Greene of Georgia, Corey Stewart of Virginia, and others are all of Generation X stock; Trump is merely an exception to this. These Gen Xers are facing the political Good Ol’ Boy systems built up by people born during and before the mid-1960s. Southern rightwing populist politicians draw from Caucasian working-class and younger crowds. All the things discussed here should really paint a picture for the new readers here or the politically unaware.
Not much else to say about this topic which has not already been said before. Regarding this series’ namesake, I do believe Tate Reeves is a conservative at heart who did not desire to change the state flag, albeit he is very weak-willed. However, with Mississippi’s GOP voters’ desperation to vote party-line and ensure Boomer incumbents remain in power so as to continue bleeding the state dry and allowing it to languish, I hope Brandon Presley beats Reeves; at least Presley seems like a decent guy. If this does not force the GOP back to the negotiation table with populist blue-collar voters, especially given the state’s political backstabbing since the 1990s regarding Ole Miss’ rebel flag issue, abortion, gay marriage, immigration, the job market, land prices, the anti-Southern education curriculum, selling out to big business and the SEC, and the state flag, nothing else will.

The United States military is a product. That is something that is hard for Baby Boomers and most GenXers to comprehend, because they see the military as a constitutionally enshrined (and constricted) governmental service. That is a legacy of a pre-volunteer military mindset coupled with 1980s nostalgia. While it is true – the military’s core function is supposed to be the defense of these United States – the “employee body” is comprised of young volunteers and it requires a fresh crop of recruits annually to survive in its present form. Correspondingly, this places the military into a unique position of competing with alternatives for that said crop of recruits. In essence, the Department of Defense must find ways to make itself the more appealing alternative to its top competitor – universities. In this regard, U.S. military recruitment is like any other product as it pertains to marketing and advertising.
To remain relevant, the military must continue to attract “consumers”: impressionable 18 – 24-year-old young adults, primarily males. It is failing. This is an incredible opportunity for our movement.
The purpose of this article is not intended to help the U.S. military. It is intended to further exacerbate that failure. Our most important mission is to break a degenerate United States in half, such that a Free and Independent Dixie can arise from the ashes of that former empire. To do so, the easiest way we can target and accelerate the collapse of the U.S. is through exploiting the option likely to have the greatest impact on the current regime in power. Devastating military recruitment is the most readily available, legal opportunity presented to us.
A core component of the failing ability of the U.S. military to recruit in the 21st Century is that the U.S. military has a marketing problem. That is not to say that it has an advertising problem – in business sciences, the two are separate disciplines. The core of marketing is data collection and subsequent quantitative analysis related to consumer insight. The result of those analytics should dictate the methods used to attract consumers (e.g., advertisements, promotions, etc.). Whether or not the military understands that which drives its consumer is debatable. Regardless, it is clear that even if the military rank and file within the recruiting commands of the various services understand what helps and harms recruitment, the policy directives of both civilian and senior military leadership within the Department of Defense run in direct opposition to the needs of recruitment.
Although they will never admit it, the fact is, the U.S. military has become a social justice petri dish. That is not unique to Presidents Obama or Biden. Many of the social justice elements that are deeply interwoven into the modern military’s operating culture went into hyperdrive throughout a Trump Administration that never really understood the nature of a military brass that simply ignored Trump’s sporadic civilian leaders and ham-fisted approach to policy. That which senior leaders liked, they embraced. That which senior leaders did not like, they placed on the back burner – betting there would be no second term for the Trump Administration. The cumulative result will be sixteen years of a constant leftwing orbital shift that is way out of touch with ordinary Americans. For recruiting commands that have no power over strategic policy, they have been forced to attempt to override a damaged brand reputation with greater incentives, such as more money for college and/or larger recruitment bonuses. Decades of marketing research, however, has proven that incentives do not work when the brand’s reputation is damaged, and the damage is not addressed. In effect, you can offer coupons for free cheeseburgers, but if the reputation of those cheeseburgers is that they give the consumer E.coli, and no one has addressed the E.coli issue, then the coupons will go unused. This is especially true if there are alternatives to be had, a lesson that Bud Light learned. For the military, the alternative is often college.
In an environment whereby student loans are easily obtained and there are no consequences to non-payment of those loans (except a bad credit score), the U.S. military has had to find other ways to inspire voluntary enrollment. After all, one of the key benefits of joining the military was a “free” or significantly subsidized college education. From the G.I. Bill to the Army College Fund to various state university programs that offer free veteran education, joining the military was a way in which lower-to-middle income children could advance their socioeconomic status through higher education. With subsidized loans and the perennial promise of some kind of mass student debt forgiveness, the higher education benefit simply does not have the same appeal it had in the 1950s – 1990s. That makes one coupon down.
The alternative to the military higher education message was that of “job skills.” It is not an accident that the elimination of technical education programs in the United States occurred at about the same time as the introduction of the all-volunteer military. The military-industrial complex is its own beast with its own needs. Never underestimate the power of self-serving interests, even when those interests dovetail with the interests of other actors or elements.
Returning to the topic, if you were an early twenty-something who joined the military with a reasonable Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test score, you could learn a number of lifelong, professional skills, such as data entry, plumbing, electrical work, aircraft maintenance, etc. Forgoing college and joining the military provided an opportunity for the less academically inclined to emerge with a career or journeyman status within the trades. Better yet, such a tradesman had the potential to exit the Army with a significant bonus and no student debt – placing him financially well ahead of his peers. However, the messaging of the military has largely moved away from its previous blue-collar marketing for a number of reasons, but the short answer is presumed interests. Young people do not seem particularly interested in learning “dirty” labor skills. Thus, another coupon down.
Finally, one of the key drivers of military recruitment was an appeal to patriotism. This was the bread and butter of the military for decades. Impressionable young men – especially Southern White men – were driven to join a military that they saw as honorable. They joined to defend the Constitution and these United States. To these young men, who often derived from families comprised of an enlisted lineage, the pinnacle of their lives was their willingness to die in battle to defend against enemies foreign and domestic. But patriotism is not that cool anymore for a myriad of reasons. Unlike the incentive gimmicks of college funds and signing bonuses, this driver is not an incentive built by recruiting commands, but one that is built from within a broader society. Not only is that crumbling outside of the military, but senior level policy makers have also targeted those few who would likely join the U.S. military for patriotic reasons.
Potential black recruits have been fed a steady diet of anti-American vitriol for the last five decades. It has gone into hyper-drive since the emergence of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement approximately ten years ago. Everything about the United States has been portrayed as an outgrowth of White supremacy and the protection of those institutions and principles – to include the Constitution – are now seen as elements of systemic White imperialism or reactive fragility. Why would anyone volunteer to join a military designed to perpetuate their oppression? Even more importantly, why would anyone join a military whereby the black leaders within the military have complained that the institution is racist to the point whereby they felt personal harm? After all, if the racist military can impede the promotion of an educated officer (soon to be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs), how can a young black male with a high school diploma expect to receive fair treatment? The cumulative impact of anti-American, social justice rhetoric amplified by messaging from senior military officers of color will suppress recruitment.
More importantly, however, is the cumulative impact of anti-White and anti-Christian rhetoric from the United States government, media, academia, and elected political leaders. Non-Hispanic, black citizens account for approximately 12% of the population, and they are shrinking rapidly as a demographic cohort. The recruitment demographic that is most critical to U.S. military recruitment is the much larger pool of White teenagers and early-twenty-somethings. At present, Non-Hispanic Whites constitute approximately 65% of the total American population. That, too, is shrinking rapidly. Still, nearly 56% of potential recruits are Non-Hispanic Whites and the vitriol levied against them has divorced them from a United States that not only openly hates them for being White, but they are also no longer actively recruited.
If you look at current recruitment content, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) push has effectively forced White males out of recruiting content. There is almost no representation of young White males in advertisements any longer. Long gone are the Marine Corps videos of “The Few. The Proud. The Marines.” Rather, Marine Corps recruiting attempted to embrace popular terminology of the political Right by appealing to “nation,” while depicting everyone other than Whites as part of that nation. The messaging from the United States military has been crystal clear: we do not want White recruits. Unironically, groups like “Patriot Front” have done a far better job enticing White teenagers to equate patriotism and nation to race versus the military’s ham-fisted attempts at DEI inspired anti-racist/anti-White marketing strategies centering “nation” as a post-White America.
The military’s anti-White shift in advertising may have been justified if the military still had White veterans imploring their White children to join the military. That is no longer happening. Veterans are not only far more conservative as a group (that may change in the future), but they are also statistically more politically engaged then the average American. Consequently, while average American citizens may be less likely to notice the definitively anti-White vitriol of the modern military, White veterans are speaking openly about Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the politically weaponized Covid vaccine to their children. This is all having a suppressing effect on recruitment potential.
The cumulative impact of the American recruiting landscape is further exacerbated by a U.S. military that spends a lot of money on urban marketing professionals to assist its recruiting endeavors. Contrary to popular beliefs, the vast majority of military service members are not country boys. While it is true, there are disproportionately more rural and exurban recruits then urban ones due to sheer volume (i.e., there are less rural citizens then urban ones), the happy hunting ground of American military recruiting is found in the suburban pockets that surround larger cities, especially in the South and Midwest. The U.S. military needs successful marketing campaigns that target the suburbs of Cleveland, Dallas, St. Louis, and Nashville. The problem is that most of the major marketing firms have very little insight into these markets. They are generally geared toward nationalized campaigns with a high focus on urban and major market (i.e., Los Angeles, New York, Chicago) consumption. That is a problem for the U.S. military, but it gets worse.
At the exact same time that urban based marketing professionals are guiding military advertising to achieve recruitment goals, the U.S. military is engaged in a massive social justice experiment. Even if the social justice experiment is minimal, it does not matter. It has an immediate impact on perception because social justice initiatives are inherently unstoppable and always have a snowball-avalanche effect. If the military is embracing CRT – which it is – this will only reinforce the importance of social justice marketing to their service providers – the advertising community – who will seek marketing biases to justify advertising campaigns that comport with the views of decision makers. In other words, if senior military leaders want confirmation bias in marketing data, marketing professionals will give them confirmation bias. The snowball (i.e., policy du jour) is compounded by more snow added to the snowball (i.e., manufactured marketing data), until such time that the messaging begins to accumulate an out of control, unsustainable messaging campaign that wrecks its target market like an avalanche. Here is where this gets great for us.
Despite mountains of anecdotal assertions that Generation Z (born between 1997 – 2012) are the most liberal demographic cohort in generations, polling data has shown something very different. Whereas it is true, the generation is more broadly left of center, that is because females are overrepresented in almost every poll that has been conducted. When “Zoomer” males are polled and analyzed, they turn out to be one of the most hard-right generations ever analyzed. In effect, females are becoming more leftwing, males are becoming more rightwing. We can delve into the reasons why young males are becoming more rightwing, but that will have to be a topic for another article. More important is how this impacts U.S. military recruitment because it exemplifies the cumulative impact of leftwing policy decisions on recruiting and gives our movement incredible opportunities.
Policy makers will often encourage the promotion of DEI pronouncements and excuse these promotions as part of some cool attempt to connect with young Americans. The problem is that they are not connecting with young Americans. They are much like the old guy trying to be hip. They are actually pushing them away. A case in point would be the horribly mocked cartoon commercial of a young female Army recruit with two lesbian mothers out of San Francisco. Mocking did not originate from GenXers (the other hard-right demographic that happens to be the parents of GenZers). Mocking originated from Zoomers who found the commercial cringy and pathetic. Within minutes of release, the ridiculously leftist cultural mishmash was compared to Chinese and Russian recruitment videos featuring hardened men training constantly. Even if the military put out more inspiring promotional material, no one remembers those commercials. They remember the woke social justice warrior recruit who is now a junior NCO impacting promotion decisions.
Demographic and generational voting trends provide even more unique data because they show a hardening along fault lines. One comprehensive data set on GenZ voting was conducted by Murmuration, with contributions from SocialSphere and The Walton Family Foundation. The data set, conducted in December 2022 shortly after the midterm election, showed a sharp division built into the data. The number of Evangelical Christians rose among GenZers, while mainstream Protestantism fell. As a whole, however, faith did not take that much of a dip overall. It dropped four percentage points as a self-identifier, which is not nearly as precipitous a drop as anecdotally reported in mainstream media outlets. More striking was the fact that 75% of GenZers considered faith as “Very Important” or “Somewhat Important” to their own life. That was nearly identical to adults over the age of 26, who stated it was 77% very or somewhat important. Noting that GenZ is young and people tend to grow more religious as they get older, this is indicative of a generation that is more conservative than thought. But it gets better for the Dissident Right.
Sexual identification has clearly changed. Only 75% of respondents claimed to be heterosexual versus 92% of older cohort respondents. The largest difference was in the self-identified “bisexual” category, that rose 300% (from 3% to 9%). Self-identified “gays” accounted for only 2% and lesbians stayed at 1%. The vast majority who did not identify as heterosexual answered, “None of the Above,” “I Don’t Know,” “Prefer Not to Say,” or “Refused.” The largest overall category increase was a sexual self-identifier entitled “queer” – of which 4% claimed some label within a catchall category that ran a broad gamut from so-called pansexual to asexual. In other words, the Far Right incel who has never had sex could easily find himself in a sexual category that is lionized by the political Left. The reason this is important is because modern identitarian discourse has tried to weaponize sexuality as a tool for political exploitation. The U.S. military has embraced this whole heartedly, as evidenced by their over-the-top promotion of LGBT propaganda during so-called Pride Month. What this study tells me is something very different. Generation Z – the U.S. military’s core recruitment demographic – is hardening on one side of the political spectrum or the other, while the increasingly smaller middle is refusing to give a clue as to how they feel about certain societal topics.
The beauty of this kind of research is that it enables the Dissident Right, and especially Southern Nationalists, to target the elements of GenZ that are more likely to be inclined toward military recruitment in ways that make military recruitment undesirable for the hardening 50% of GenZ. In essence, we do not have to worry about transgenders, homosexuals, or left leaning females – all of which the major recruiting commands are required by force of policy to concentrate upon. With the exception of leftwing females, the outlier population cohorts are not growing to any meaningful effect. They are certainly not growing at replacement levels whereby the military can offset heterosexual White Christian males with sexually amorphous atheists. We can focus on the majority of potential recruitment pools while recruitment commands are forced to concentrate on minority pockets of the population.
More importantly, the other larger recruitment pools – such as Hispanic or black males – may not appreciate being tied to the sexually amorphous atheists that the military is now required to elevate. Whereas recent racially motivated cultural antagonisms have them hating White males, that does not mean young black males will be drawn to a military that is pro-homosexual simply because it deters White males. The same can be said for Hispanics.
We simply need to focus our messaging like a laser beam on two groups: GenZ White Christian males and GenX veterans. Our strategy should hyper-inflate perceptions that the military is anti-Christian, anti-White, and homosexual. While these are substantive facts – the military is anti-Christian, anti-White, and disproportionately homosexual – these need to be the three most important elements of social media engagement. Memes, videos, and other entertaining methods of engagement should serve to educate GenZ on various anti-White and pro-LGBT military initiatives. They need to be truthful, deriving messaging from actual military policy. In this regard, recruitment commands cannot compete with our ability to remain nimble and factual with our communications objectives.
Meanwhile, for Generation X veterans – the various recruiting commands’ force multiplier within the population – the message has to power down on the fact that this is “not Reagan’s military anymore.” The most important message to GenX veterans is the following: Do you know the consequences of a dishonorable discharge? Do you really want your White Christian son to join a U.S. military in which he can find himself with a dishonorable discharge on the basis of an accusation of racism, sexism, genderism? Even if he escapes that fate – what are his chances for promotion in a military that now embraces Critical Race Theory as the core of its senior leadership operating culture? By appealing to both the nostalgia of GenX for a once pro-American society, as well as its sacrosanct belief in meritocracy over “equity,” we can dismantle the desire of veterans to promote military service to their sons. This gets more poignant when we consider the myriad of anti-Southern initiatives led by the current U.S. military.
In an environment whereby the U.S. military is renaming bases and tearing down monuments to Southerners – to include peace monuments at cemeteries – one simply needs to hammer home the innate animosity toward Southerners held by the current Department of Defense. Ask the following of a GenX veteran from the South: Do you honestly believe that your son with a Southern drawl will get a fair shake in a military that today openly hates Southerners and the South? The minute he says, “y’all,” he is a marked man. Again, appealing to nostalgia, meritocracy, and in this case, indignation, has to be the core of our messaging aimed at GenX.
This is a golden opportunity for Southern Nationalists. Military recruitment continues to fall year-over-year. Senior military leadership and civilian policy makers are incapable of looking beyond their ideological blinders to address perceptions of anti-White bias. The recruiting commands are powerless. They are forced to work within the restrictive confines of policies made outside of their control. Marketing companies that serve the military are simply doing their best to keep a client, reinforcing policy biases with disastrous recruiting results.
The U.S. military is on the ropes – ropes of their own making. It is time we do in 2024 what we were not able to do in 1865: finish them.
The post Devastating Military Recruitment in 2024 appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Years ago, I was the right-hand man for my company’s CEO. He was anxious for construction to be completed on a certain facility, as our previous one had unfortunately been subjected to a terrorist attack from which I was lucky to have just barely escaped. The work was lagging, so he dispatched me to deal with the project manager (PM).
When I showed up onsite, the PM seemed very nervous and attempted flattery. I curtly instructed him to dispense with the pleasantries, because I was there to put him back on schedule. He assured me that his personnel were working as fast as possible. I was immediately skeptical and speculated that I could find new ways to motivate them.
He again reassured me that things would be finished on time. I explained that our CEO didn’t share his optimistic appraisal of the situation. The PM implored me that he was being asked of the impossible and he needed to hire more workers. A frank admission, finally. My reply was that perhaps he could tell our CEO when he arrived onsite.
A look of fear flashed across his face, and he inquired if this was really the case. That was correct, I told him and furthermore, our CEO was most displeased at his apparent lack of progress. He promised to redouble their efforts. In a moment of candor, I remarked that I hoped this was true for his sake because our CEO wasn’t as forgiving as myself.
If there’s anything I learned from my time with this company, it was that fear is quite a useful tool and one that becomes of particular utility once the good times are gone. So, yeah, I’d say our government is going to be attempting to instill lots of fear in the near future. Here’s what it’s facing in 2024:
Also, the economy isn’t looking too swell, either. It’s therefore not surprising that there does seem to be groundwork being laid for another round of insane COVID dystopia. The timing would appear to be right as COVID hit us in the winter of 2020 but much of the financial measures introduced had been fleshed out in Sun Valley, Idaho the previous summer and then Event 201 to rehearse a virus response was conducted in NYC that October.
So, if we’re going to be subjected to this again it would make sense that we’re beginning to hear the rumblings right about now. It’s not exactly a fringe notion that something big and bad is going to have to happen in order to control the public. Tucker Carlson’s theory is that both a Trump assassination and a war with Russia are incoming.
Tucker Carlson predicts Deep State will try to KILL Trump: "We are speeding towards assassination obviously."

Carlson might be right, since we’re talking about the machinations of people who are evil, insane, and incompetent all at the same time. They’ve put themselves in a position where the status quo can’t be sustained, and the public will be very upset with how this impacts the average citizen’s life. As I said, it’s becoming pretty well-accepted that there will be a need for them to do something to keep us under wraps as things are done to us that we’re really not going to like and the whole democracy veneer is pulled away.
Even Putin pointed out in a speech at the beginning of this year that our string pullers would have to pull something big eventually as an excuse for resetting the system and named war as one of their options. However, let me try and speculate from a rational perspective.
If one proceeds from the premise that they’re not totally incompetent, a direct confrontation with Russia can be ruled out since we don’t have the conventional assets to prevail or even the industrial capacity to sustain a conflict for long. Ukraine has been a very ugly lesson that would be hard to ignore.
Moreover, most of Russia’s assets are safely inside of Russia whereas the Russians would have a wealth of targets to hit with missiles, which the current conflict has demonstrated that we won’t be able to intercept. There’s also the sizable probability that this would escalate into a general conflagration.
So, as a justification for introducing more domestic tyranny as a solution for the inability to sustain American expectations about quality of life, a losing conflict that can’t be contained doesn’t appear to be a great option. Again, there remains a decent chance it could happen though.
Rebranding COVID as some new nightmare seems much more feasible, seeing as it worked once before. Less people are going to be on board with the insanity this time around, but many are incorrigible. The first pandemic functioned as a proof of concept. Remember, everyone from Bill Gates to Biden kept telling us that COVID would just be the first pandemic.
They tell us they’re going to do things, and then they do these things. They’ve been talking about a great reset, but nothing has really been reset. When is that going to happen, and what does that specifically entail? If they’re willing to shut the world down and inject everyone with unlimited experimental gene therapy over fraud, I wouldn’t put anything past them. This why I’ve spent the last three years decrying Satanism and I never did in all my years of writing before it happened.
We can’t rule out the government repeating something that turned out poorly in the past and trying to do this same stupid thing bigger and better. In fact, I’d say it has a rather solid track record at doubling down on stupid. Take discriminating against White men or these foreign wars, for example.
I think the question of what’s going to happen in 2024 essentially boils down to fear. If they estimate that they’ll be able to scare enough people to comply with another round of pandemic bullshit, then that’s what they’ll try to impose. If it’s not war or a pandemic, what else would they do? UFOs?
I just don’t think they can scare enough Americans with the threat of getting abducted and rectally probed by aliens. My money is on pandemic round two, and I really doubt it’s going to be anywhere as fun as getting checks for nothing and staying home to send emails instead of working.

I have been chewing on this one for a while. It may be easy for you, the reader, to believe I am pushing a black pilled message. I am not but am simply describing thoughts and observations I have made. Not only have I witnessed numerous alarming trends taking place across Heritage America, due largely to the influence of social media, but I cannot address it without calling out and harshly criticizing a certain demographic within Caucasian circles. With that said, let us begin.
I find it impossible not to notice the astonishing and inordinate influence TikTok has on Millennials and Gen Z. It far exceeds the success of any social engineering attempted by generations of film, news, and education in years passed. Every single social trend and push comes from that damnable app nowadays, and Facebook and YouTube have begun incorporating TikTok-style videos on their platforms. It is inescapable.
I have observed that TikTok has been pushing miscegenation heavily over the past few years. Whereas I do not have the app myself, it is difficult not to see videos from that app posted all over YouTube and social media outlets. From Manosphere videos on YouTube commenting on the depraved state of modern American women to random videos to funny gym skits, I have noticed what appears to be a heretofore unseen spike in White female/black male couples. Most of these videos I come across have this trait. Furthermore, many videos, even if not that specific pairing, have a mixed couple of one sort or another. This seems to have taken over TikTok what feels like overnight about a year ago, two at most, and has expanded to other platforms adopting these style videos. In fact, it is so common and was so instantaneous that I am beginning to wonder if these are not simply paid actors. Ever since TikTok started doing this nonchalantly, I have witnessed a huge real-world spike in miscegenation among Millennials and Gen Z, alongside an assortment of other annoying and obnoxious social traits. The demographic I am noticing the most striking change in their breeding patterns as a result of this is, of course, White females. It is actually quite astonishing, even for someone as jaded and disillusioned as myself. I suppose it caught me off guard because generations of this propaganda did not have this level of an effect, and these are supposed to be videos everyday people make themselves, kind of like Vine was but way more cringe and sexualized. Not all that long ago, White women were the least likely group to miscegenate.
Before delving any further into the female capitulation and support of race-mixing and anti-Whiteism, I will first briefly mention the negative effects of race-mixing. There is quite a good amount of evidence to suggest miscegenation is a grievously dysgenic breeding practice to adopt, despite the fact that findings will forever and always be suppressed by the mainstream. From bone marrow transplant issues, to fatherlessness, to emergent genetic deficiencies, to rootlessness and identity crises among the mixed children, to sickle cell anemia, the negative impact is staggering. One of the best essays on the topic with an absurd amount of data is “The War on Whites in Advertising” on Counter-Currents. I cannot recommend it enough. Furthermore, American Renaissance also has an excellent essay on the subject. Links will be posted at the end of this article.
To provide some final thoughts on the breeding and mixing topic, the Holy Bible has some things to say, or imply, on the matter, just read the Old Testament, the passage about the Tower of Babel, Jesus’ and Paul’s own views on who they chose to preach to, Acts 17:26, Zechariah 9:6, and Genesis 10:5, just to give a few examples. Take a look at Latin America, the Middle East, or your average American mulatto today. According to Dan Roodt, an Afrikaner and author of Raiders of the Lost Empire: South Africa’s ‘English’ Identity which is reviewed and discussed on AmRen, the creolized Coloureds have arguably the worst substance abuse and existential issues of all the South African races. Lastly on the subject, dysgenic breeding even within just White couples, from my observation, appears to have run rampant since about the 1990s as it seems like everyone born during and since is remarkably uglier than their forebears. The physiognomy of many born after 1990 is incredibly bizarre, if not outright uncanny. Take a look around and tell me you do not see it.
The following is an excerpt from that aforementioned Counter-Currents essay. All is not as it seems.
“A 2017 study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology looked at insula activity in the brain when participants viewed images of interracial couples compared to same-race couples. Insula activation is responsible for a variety of emotions. Evidence shows that insula activity is present when a person experiences disgust and is thought to be a reliable marker of both disgust and aversion. The study found statistical significance between insula activation of participants looking at same-race couples compared to interracial couples. Despite a minority of participants explicitly stating they disagree with interracial dating and marriage, the electroencephalogram (EEG), told a different story.
This study also used an implicit association task (IAT) to measure response times of participants in categorizing interracial couples and same-race couples with either a silhouette of a human or a silhouette of an animal. Participants were placed in two conditions, one primed with disgusting images, the other with positive images. Researchers found that all participants showed an implicit bias towards matching interracial couples with animals, and the condition primed to be disgusted was even faster, showing a greater implicit bias against interracial couples. There was both a neural reaction of disgust and an implicit reaction of disgust, to interracial couples. The authors write in the abstract of this paper that ‘These findings are particularly concerning, given evidence of antisocial reactions (e.g., aggression, perpetration of violence) to dehumanized targets.’
Before I continue, I would like to address that I am not referring to every single Caucasian female ever and everywhere at all times on planet Earth, so bring those absurd NAXALT arguments and accusations elsewhere. White female capitulation is something everybody sees and notices. It is no secret. We can all clearly see that White females, typically of Millennial and Gen Z extract, are the loudest mouthpieces of the current American anti-White male propaganda created by the Left. We can also see that many of these females are from suburban and/or affluent, middle-class backgrounds. Everybody can very obviously and clearly see that the White girls have heavily embraced rootlessness, promiscuity, and melanin chasing as a standard practice. I have yet to meet a single dude who has anything good to say about young White females, as a whole, due to the previously stated and the spoiled, degenerate behavior the average White girl exhibits now. The behavior of these girls is so awful that White males are now very noticeably beginning to date black women in increasing numbers, something once very uncommon and compounded with the increasing pursuit of Hispanic and Oriental women. White men seem openly resentful of White women these days.
This is not a positive development for Caucasian women in America. It is unwise to alienate and turn against the one and only demographic to historically protect them and keep them safe. Each and every scenario in which White males are not around ends badly for the women. Take a gander at every major American city, South Africa, immigrant filled European cities, and the Barbery Slave Trade to name a few. Furthermore, we all know that a lot of their current behavior, aside from lust and no impulse control because of a lack of strong fathers, is a result of pursuing what is perceived methods of increasing their social credit scores. In reality, the Left hates White women, too. A cursory search of Google and YouTube will reveal the American Left’s true feelings about White women. Considering murder and rape rates of White women today and historically from a demographic perspective, it is no surprise to know how the Left really feels. It is not a good idea to side with those who hate your existence. Good luck.
Look, I know this is just a rambling stream of consciousness about observations I have made, and I hate to come off as black pilling and have no intention of doing so. However, we cannot deny reality in front of us. If trends continue the way they are, non-Slavic Caucasians will be all but extinct in 100 years, and pure blood North European stock in the U.S. will not exist 200 years from now, much less in Northern Europe itself.

A major feature of the establishment propaganda about how Russia is suffering a devastating loss to NATO in Ukraine is that domestically, Russia is falling apart. This is based on the situation in the 1990s before Putin took the helm at the behest of Yeltsin, who’d gone from hero to a drunkard with a weak grip on power.
I remember watching this on television and wondering who the hell Vladimir Putin was, he didn’t have the vibe or look of a Western politician and seemed to have come out of nowhere. Of course, this wasn’t the case. He was at the helm of an apparatus but that wasn’t clear from what you could glean by consuming Western media.
Despite his shortcomings, Yeltsin had come to realize what the oligarchs were aiming to steal, which was the government itself, and stepped down in favor of Putin. At least that’s disseminated as the official narrative. Putin might’ve told him that his time was up.
Putin managed to right the ship using the power of the security state, known as the Siloviki, to deal with the oligarchs who’d been looting the country in collusion with their fellow parasites from abroad. They had the capital and the schemes to swipe everything for pennies on the dollar whereas the average Russian was bewildered by the privatization and “shock therapy” process introduced by the parasites. Most of these oligarchs managed to flee. Some, notably Mikhail Khodorkovsky, fared far worse, much to the wailing of his tribe in the Western media.
Oh no! The rule of law!!!! Oh gawd, where’s my yamika?That was something I really enjoyed and when I first realized that Putin was more than met the eye. You have to understand that the notion of a strongman coming to power and locking up billionaire parasites terrifies parasites exponentially more than it delights someone like myself. Mustache Man did it to a Rothschild, don’t forget. Parasites tend to sense the warning signs much better than ourselves. Their collective freak out over the tenor of modern America should provide us with a glimmer of hope, not that much of a glimmer, but still.
So, Khodorkovsky went from Russia’s wealthiest man to solitary confinement in a Siberian gulag. A key part of the Russian collapse narrative is also that these oligarchs will overthrow Putin when they get tired of his failing war effort, but this isn’t twenty years ago. Any who might’ve possessed that level of wealth and influence are long gone, what’s left are those whom Putin tolerates or sometimes humiliates for political clout. The Siloviki are in firm control of Russia and the likelihood is that Putin’s Silovik successor will be considerably less restrained.
Trump tried this sort of maneuver with a Carrier plant in Indianapolis, but it was much more gentle. Putin didn’t come into office announcing his intention to take the oligarchs out. At first, he appeared quite cooperative because had to do so. This is the great fear of their ethnoreligious hate/swindling organization: having an absolute leader who decides to turn on them one day. Stalin pulled the same maneuver, as did many European sovereigns over the centuries.
This why our human rights and freedom democracy model is violently exported everywhere. Let’s just be real: if the parasites are constantly extolling the virtues of something, that’s because they’re using it to fuck us over. This democracy system by its nature can’t express our will or address our needs because they own all the politicians.
Sure, it works for my HOA, but it can’t for America. Russia also has a democracy where people vote but there’s a system of power that’s not up for a vote. It’s the same thing here except that ordinary Russians are getting things that they want accomplished. I don’t bother voting; I just want and need certain things from our government. When you point this out, people look at you like you want Emperor Palpatine to run the place.
Parasites own and screen everyone who comes up through our system that they hijacked, and no one figure has enough authority to get rid of them if he somehow decided to do it. Trump was the sole exception as far as getting past the screening. He wasn’t even against the parasites. His children are all married into their tribe, he was largely powerless in office, and look at what they’re doing. Trump even gave Netanyahu a golden key to the White House. Originally, communism was supposed to do the trick across the globe that our system is attempting to perform but things didn’t work out so well. It won’t with our system either, but that never fails to deter their evil ambitions.

It’d be an understatement to say that things in Russia have drastically improved since the 90s but nobody important in the West seems to take this into consideration. They can’t seem to change their frame of reference from Russia is on the brink decades ago to modern Russia, it’s really quite insane. American military officers I’ve talked with seem to think they’re fighting with junk equipment leftover from the Cold War.
One question that immediately comes to mind is that if Russia has been about to collapse for the past 30 years, why hasn’t it happened yet? The same narrative is applied to the military operation in Ukraine. That was supposed to fall apart within a week, it didn’t. So why is it still supposed to happen any day now? Critical thinking isn’t something that experts perform anymore.
If Russia managed to hold together through a famine where, thanks to parasitical schemes, agricultural production fell by half at one point, two civil wars instigated by the CIA in the Caucasus using proto-Al Qaeda types when garrisoned soldiers were forced to beg for food on the streets, years when police and many other workers never got paid, etc, etc, etc, why would it fall apart now? Russia’s current leadership already proved it could hold things together through the most tenuous and desperate of times.
My contention is that the United States has a much better chance of falling apart than the Russian Federation, a resource autarkic nation that never exported its manufacturing base. It’s led by a stable government with broad public support which is meticulous about its debts. They’re not turning kids into trannies, all that evil is banned. They’re not convulsed by race riots; this happens in the USA. Their minorities are allowed to practice their cultures and religions in autonomy.
Thus far, Russia might’ve suffered as high as 50,000 KIA in Ukraine. Is anybody taking to the streets or is the public committed to victory? Could we lost 50,000 soldiers? All we can do in the U.S. is adjust the narratives, not fix the problems. In fact, all the problems are getting much worse. Can you name a single one we’re fixing? I sure can’t. As with many of the accusations parasites make, Russian collapse is a matter of projection.
Carlson believes Russia is "a Christian country." His defense of Russia is appalling. But his slander of Christianity is also deplorable. Is Putin's Russia really an exemplar of Christianity today? Surely every decent Christian–every friend of Christianity–rejects this. https://t.co/xcU2XbIF54

A murderer of Christ is a friend of Christianity. Imagine living life without hypocrisy as a relevant concept. The post Uncle Sam, Take a Look in the Mirror appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Old men observe and imagine the fate of the “country,” one that was once a relatively free group of independent states of people living freely within tribal nests of local-style Jeffersonian parlors of home and family; people who loved the land and the God who provided it.
Some old men have such observations.
Now in time, much past, as the fortunes of that land fell well over a century and a half ago, via the national army that issued from its political New England seed. Its Hamiltonian nationalists and its Lincolnite European revolutionists, who unsparingly shed blood to create the single national state that was to be worshiped like Satan, he supposedly of beautiful sight, whose “son-of the morning” stature would be the state’s greatest flesh-taster.
Today, corruption runs like a social disease, decaying the once masculine union through its lovemaking with its national concubine, Washington, D.C. It runs like disease and evil once ran through Sodom and Gomorrah 4,000 years ago.
Its seductive rot consumes and will continue. Truths will not be told about it, and truth is the only elixir for lies.
Political parties are but political pimps and are the buyers and sellers of debt and pleasurable flesh using the sweat and brow of the taxpayers and their once-protected wealth, protected by the honorable union.
Liars are the breeding ground of corruption or corruption necessarily breeds lying. In either case, the contrapositive is true for either, so would say logicians via their truth tables i.e., integrity breeds truth or truth breeds integrity.
Old men who once were told myths in honor of the reputation of great and honorable men like George Washington (the cherry tree story) whose honor was so solid that he would not, could not, tell a lie, listen today to so-called journalists support the absence of truth.
Irony thy father is damnation when you have fixed yourself onto the city, Washington D.C., and subsumed the paradox that the first president’s name is affixed to the city where the greatest lies in size and number flow like some kind of verbal mendacious distributary of the Potomac.
The blood, shed in such fields of the Union of “states united,” not united states, became like dark milk feeding the faux-beautiful son of the morning, like some national vampire, and being the ignition for the so-called shining light on the hill, the great lie of the puritanical “John Cheese” Yankee. Satan and his criers, the nationalists, became the corrupter and killer of union and the father of state. Satan’s fairy-tale lie: some damn light on a hill, shining – but only lighting the beast of bureaucracy.
Today, the battle is over. There is, contrary to well-duped conservative people, no victory in sight. The well-duped are also the untutored, unread, (ironically, many call themselves Republicans, though hardly republican, they are state nationalists)
Most are clothed with crafty and cunning devices that worship such political poison; poison which truly believes rendering to Caesar is not just God’s true way, but Satan’s only way.
The beasts are running through the streets and own the courts, own the representatives, own what remain of the police, own the army, and own the money. And they protect it with guns that the people pay for but resist the people owning the same. The mystery is: how have these “duped” been duped?
Pimps always promise the duped the same: protection and security. But now it is too late. There is not enough political penicillin to save the concubine. The people most likely will die with the concubine.
Today, Washington owns the people, their states, their lives, its fortunes and has replaced all honor with some nonsensical rubbish labeled “Woke.”
Some of these same old men once passed in review on graduation day at Parris Island, South Carolina. The flag was raised on the replica of Mount Suribachi and as they passed the colors, the band’s brass resounding “The Marine Corps Hymn,” they felt special at having been trained by honorable officers and NCOs, both disproportionately Southern. Today, it is a lie to suggest anything “honorable” is part of Washington’s or its military officers or any of its DNA’s structure.
Richmond, Virginia once fought to preserve the concept of “union.” Washington, D.C. fought to create (today’s) “nation.”
Richmond died with honor. Washington survived as a political whore.
Believe it or not, there are still supporters in gray cloth down in Dixie who, still, unarmed, but reverently, say: Deo Vindice and always stand or salute “The Star Spangle Banner” though not some National Anthem.
Seldom are they allowed to say so in print. But almost every dang one of them will say, printed or not: “MAGA.”
Deo Vindice, America. Especially, Southern America.

In a time of increasing skepticism of globalization, stemming from losses in jobs, cultural heritage, and sovereignty over ones own homeland, nationalism has re-emerged onto the political stage in protest movements and increasingly populist governments. Christian nationalism, focused on the incorporation of church doctrine into a nation and often a sovereign, is not a new concept, stemming at least from the time of the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, but recently has re-emerged as a potential solution to the social ills many societies face in the West. Tonight we are joined by Woe, co-host of the Stone Choir podcast, to make the case for how and why this might be a good way forward for many of the discontented souls of today.

When I (reluctantly) think of American feminists, I usually lump them into three groups/time periods for educational purposes:
Of course, there were some old school feminists (maybe we’ll call them “proto-feminists”?) in the early days of the newly founded republic leading up to the Civil War, but they did not gain much of a stronghold until after the war.
The true “feminism” as we understand it really did not arrive until the Gilded Age, which of course followed the reconstruction of the South.
(There are many reasons for this time period. One of the biggest reasons being loss of unique regionalization around the United States and the Second Industrial Revolution. But that’s not the point of this article.)
Throughout the vast majority of the 19th century before first stage feminism, what was called the “women’s sphere” existed in the form of the private household. Men were expected to be out in the public sphere, while women controlled their own private sphere. The combination of the two created harmony in a marriage and society.
During this era, a “true man” was focused on providing and protecting, while a “true woman” focused on virtue, purity, and domesticity.
Contrary to popular belief, this setup was not forced by men. Most of the enforcers were themselves women, as exemplified by the biggest writers/cultural icons of the time such as Sarah Hale that wrote about proper women behavior, and books like Godey’s Lady’s Book, which discussed how to be a lady and was one of the top women’s books of the era.
Men did not need to enforce it. The women of the era did so themselves. There was no fabled patriarchy, but instead a matriarchy that enforced those expectations on other women.
The reality is that true womanhood was set by other quasi-Victorian women. This Americanized Victorian society had its flaws, but the relationship hierarchy was not one of them.
It was not until the Gilded Age that the first-stage feminists got the upper-hand. It was once this matriarchy weakened that everything capsized.
It’s been downhill since.
Once you realize this, you realize that feminism really didn’t amount to anything until their success with the 18th and 19th Amendments. Which is why I start with them as the true “first stage” feminists.
The majority of the first stagers were largely still of the Victorian mindset – religious, zealous, puritan… just completely bonkers on the gender hierarchy question. They lost sight of why God implemented those gender roles in the Bible, and the great experimentation of feminism soon followed.
For instance, first stage feminists were against drinking and moral vices, which is ironic considering their own children went the complete opposite direction. They gave birth to and raised the second stage feminists, who were major drinkers, smokers, and whores. Which the American Victorian women never expected would occur with their children’s newfound freedom.
But it happened.
We usually call them the flappers:
Flappers were a subculture of young Western women in the 1920s who wore short skirts (knee height was considered short during that period), bobbed their hair, listened to jazz, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behavior. Flappers were seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes in public, driving automobiles, treating sex in a casual manner, and otherwise flouting social and sexual norms. As automobiles became more available, flappers gained freedom of movement and privacy.
Flappers are icons of the Roaring Twenties, the social, political turbulence, and increased transatlantic cultural exchange that followed the end of World War I, as well as the export of American jazz culture to Europe. There was a reaction to this counterculture from more conservative people, who belonged mostly to older generations. They claimed that the flappers’ dresses were “near nakedness”, and that flappers were “flippant”, “reckless”, and unintelligent.
Hilariously, more young women consumed alcohol in the decade it was illegal than ever before. Even though the older women were the major pushes for prohibition, the younger women went the complete opposite direction.
Ironically, the first stage feminist’s biggest opponents were none other than second stage feminists.
First stage feminists birthed a generation that did not care at all about their parent’s feminism or moral masquerading for female empowerment. They cared only about pleasing themselves, escaping responsibility, and being free to do whatever they wanted. Which is a natural response to first stage feminism.
If a nation is infected with the first stage, and it is not cured, it naturally progresses to this second stage. Similar to any other form of disease progression in a human.
A single female generation completely turned the tables on what feminism was, turning it from a “woman deserves the right to vote and men shouldn’t be drunkards,” to the sexual experimentation explosion of the Roaring Twenties, which directly lead to the degenerate Boomer subculture of the 1960s.
There was this interim period because of the Great Depression and Great War, obviously, but once those two were resolved, the degeneracy picked right back up where it started in the 1920s. The feminists in the end of the 1920s rolled right into Boomertown in the 1960s. They skipped a beat, but came back with a degenerate, vitriol vengeance.
The first stage feminists realized the differences between men and women; they just wanted to be able to do more within the public sphere (although, without accepting similar responsibility). The second stage feminists said that they could do everything a man could do: drink, smoke, work, and screw. Is it any surprise that the third stage feminists believe that women can now be men by simple personal declaration? The pathway was always there intuitively:
This end result was, and always is, the end conclusion of the feminist movement. It’s where it has to end, by its own logic. If reality truly has no gender roles and no gender hierarchy, then the feminists are not wrong when they conclude that gender is a social construct. Under that perverted and wrong logic, it is.
But the true reality is that men and women have different roles which are best suited for them, and they do have a God-given hierarchy which they are ordered to follow. This throws the very first bullet point into the trash, and each subsequent one fails alongside it.
As soon as a person removes gender roles, and puts in the lie that a woman should be able to do everything that a man does, the end result is societal destruction. Strong families cannot survive in such a climate, and a nation cannot survive without strong families.
Thus, while I gave a softer hand to the first stage feminists in this article, the first stage feminists were just as at fault as the second stage feminists. This is true even though the first stage feminists would be aghast at the third stage feminists and would have probably chosen to burn them at the stake.
All three stages utilize this principle to varying degrees.It is helpful for us to know the origins of where our current cultural degeneration comes from, so that we may better protect against it in the future. The first stage feminists, while likely well-intentioned, completely and utterly destroyed our American families. They failed because they loved the lie over the truth.
The roots of the American feminist plague lie with the women’s suffrage and abolition movement, but the worst aspects of feminism lie with the flappers and the “new feminism” of the 1920s. The seeds were planted in that decade to later be wickedly harvested in the 1960s, which lead to where we are now.
The only way to truly permanently correct this problem is to hold to the truth of gender roles and gender hierarchy. In doing so, the lies can gain no traction. It is only when tolerance for lies creeps in that the downhill-snowball effect begins.
Only through this can we ensure the ride down the slippery slope to the hamplanet, crossdresser society we currently inhabit is never taken again.

In giving his overview of the general lifecycle of a nation/ethnos, Kaisar made the observation that:
In more ways than one, it would be best if a nation-state could remain within the Age of Conquests for as long as feasible. This is the best stage for sustainment, decent lives for the citizens, decent morality, with struggle (but of a nature that is not as difficult as the struggles of the founding or decadence), but no weakening of the men.
In other words, the Age of Conquests is where almost all dissidents would like to be. It is where a sustainable system needs to reside. We cannot remove the struggle aspect from life or we will enter the downward spiral to collapse. We must remain in the “hard times”, but in the best stage of the hard times. This does not mean we need to constantly be in military conflict, but we do need to constantly be in some form of a struggle for national betterment and dominance in some discipline, alongside a proper focus and culture. Only the Age of Conquests can give us that.
Recognizing how destructive unnecessary wars are for a people, how can Dixie or any other keep from falling into the decadence the comes with peace and affluence without warfare? The answer is found in the Christian Faith, in the asceticism to which the Church calls all of her children to keep vigilantly while living in the world, and particularly in monasticism, which is a heightened practice of Christian asceticism.
Prof. Georgios Mantzarides elaborates:
St [John] Chrysostom is particularly emphatic on this point: “You greatly delude yourself and err, if you think that one thing is demanded from the layman and another from the monk; since the difference between them is in that whether one is married or not, while in everything else they have the same responsibilities… Because all must rise to the same height; and what has turned the world upside down is that we think only the monk must live rigorously, while the rest are allowed to live a life of indolence” 7. Referring to the observance of particular commandments in the Gospels, he says: “Whoever is angry with his brother without cause, regardless of whether he is a layman or a monk, opposes God in the same way. And whoever looks at a woman lustfully, regardless of his status, commits the same sin”. In general, he observes that in giving His commandments Christ does not make distinction between people: “A man is not defined by whether he is a layman or a monk, but by the way he thinks” 8.
Christ’s commandments demand strictness of life that we often expect only from monks. The requirements of decent and sober behaviour, the condemnation of wealth and adoption of frugality 9, the avoidance of idle talk and the call to show selfless love are not given only for monks, but for all the faithful.
Therefore, the rejection of worldly thinking is the duty not only of monks, but of all Christians. The faithful must not have a worldly mind, but sojourn as strangers and travellers with their minds fixed on God. Their home is not on earth, but in the kingdom of heaven: “For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city which is to come” 10. The Church can be seen as a community in exodus. The world is its temporary home but the Church is bound for the kingdom of God. Just as the Israelites, freed from bondage in Egypt, journeyed towards Jerusalem through many trials and tribulations, so Christians, freed from the bondage of sin, journey through many trials and tribulations towards the kingdom of heaven.
Despite the similarities between the married and the monastics, the monastic longs for something more – for the full enjoyment of the Kingdom of Heaven, the undistracted pursuit of Christ. Mother Ephrosynia of Lesna, France, provides this quotation to illustrate the depth of the monk’s or nun’s desire in her essay on monasticism:
Some people are very single-minded by nature. And there are ideas that permeate the lives of such people down to the very last detail. Everything is beautiful, joyous and of consolation, but this life is overshadowed for them by the memory of one thing, by a single thought: that of Christ Crucified. No matter how bright the sun might be, how beautiful nature, God’s creation is, how tempting far-away places might seem, they remember that Christ was crucified, and everything is dim in comparison. We might hear the most beautiful music, the most inspired speeches, but these souls hear one thing: Christ was crucified, and what can ever drown out the sound of the nails being hammered into His flesh? Describe to them the happiness of a family life, of a beloved husband or wife, of children, but Christ was crucified, and how can we not show the Lord that He isn’t alone, we haven’t deserted Him. There are those that are willing to forget everything in the world so as to stand by His Cross, suffer His suffering and wonder at His Sacrifice. For them the world is empty, and only Christ Crucified speaks to their hearts. And only they know what sweetness they taste still on this earth by sharing in the eternal mystery of the Cross, and only they hear what He says to them when they come to Him after a life full of incomprehensible hardships and inexplicable joy.
This longing gave rise to organized monasticism:
The monastic life, with its physical withdrawal from the world to the desert, began about the middle of the third century. This flight of Christians to the desert was partly caused by the harsh Roman persecutions of the time. The growth of monasticism, however, which began in the time of Constantine the Great, was largely due to the refusal of many Christians to adapt to the more worldly character of the now established Church, and their desire to lead a strictly Christian life. Thus monasticism developed simultaneously in various places in the southeast Mediterranean, Egypt, Palestine, Sinai, Syria and Cyprus, and soon after reached Asia Minor and finally Europe (Mantzarides).
And it is within the monastic way of life that the multitudes of the nations can experience the hardships necessary for a healthy society to exist without resorting to military warfare with other countries:
There are sighing and tears produced by the presence of sin, as well as the suffering to be free of the passions and regain a pure heart. These things demand ascetic struggles, and undoubtedly have a negative form, since they aim at humility. They are exhausting and painful, because they are concerned with states and habits that have become second nature. It is however precisely through this abasement, self purification, that man clears the way for God’s grace to appear and to act within his heart. God does not manifest Himself to an impure heart (Mantzarides).
. . . sooner or later “reality” strikes and you see that everything that’s been written about the hardships of monastic life is not just fancy words or symbolic phrases or allegory. It’s not the physical side that’s hard. With some effort and discipline anyone can learn to get up early and to stand through long church services, to make prostrations and to work, and work hard, at jobs that you don’t necessarily like. A lot of people in the world have a much more difficult life in that sense. It’s the encounter with yourself and who you really are and the struggle to change that, that is the slow but painful, day by day, minute by minute work of the monk. The work is done largely through our contacts and conflicts with other people. St. John of the Ladder is very blunt about this: “… Derided, mocked, jeered, you must accept the denial of your will. You must patiently endure opposition, suffer neglect without complaint, put up with violent arrogance. You must be ready for injustice, and not grieve when you are slandered; you must not be angered by contempt and you must show humility when you have been condemned.” For most of us the most difficult element in all this is giving up your own will. One of the most quoted monastic sayings, that of Abba Dorotheos—another great teacher of the monastic life—says: “I know of no fall that happens to a monk that does not come from trusting his own will and his own judgment… Do you know someone who has fallen? Be sure that he directed himself… Nothing is more grievous… nothing is more pernicious” (Mother Ephrosynia).
The monastery as a ‘boot camp’ for the Christian – with its unsparing breaking down and reformation of the whole person, body and soul – may be discerned in the foregoing passages. The martial nature of monasticism is further seen in the not uncommon act of soldiers becoming monks. St Guthlac, the scourge of demons who made the swamps of Crowland, England, the place of his monastic struggles, and St Pachomius of Egypt, the founder of cenobitic monasticism, are a couple of the more prominent ones.
Misunderstandings cause some folks to frown at monastic life, however. Common objections to it are that it is an attempt to earn salvation solely by one’s works and that it is a Gnostic sort of rejection of the physical world.
Prof. Mantzarides answers the first charge this way:
The Christian life does not depend only on human effort but primarily on God’s grace. Ascetic exercises in all their forms and degrees aim at nothing more than preparing man to harmonise his will with that of God and receive the grace of the Holy Spirit. This harmonisation attains its highest expression and perfection in prayer. “In true prayer we enter into and dwell in the Divine Being by the power of the Holy Spirit” 22. This leads man to his archetype and makes him a true person in the likeness of his Creator.
To the second charge he offers these passages:
Monks . . . choose to constrain their bodily needs in order to attain the spiritual freedom offered by Christ. They tie themselves down in death’s realm in order to experience more intensely the hope of the life to come. They reconcile themselves with space, where man is worn down and annihilated, feel it as their body, transform it into the Church and orientate it towards the kingdom of God.
The monk’s journey to perfection is gradual and is connected with successive renunciations, which can be summarised in three. The first renunciation involves completely abandoning the world. This is not limited to things, but includes people and parents. The second is renunciation of the individual will, and the third is freedom from pride, which is identified with liberation from the sway of the world 24.
These successive renunciations have a positive, not a negative meaning. They permit a man to fully open up and be perfected “in the image and likeness” of God. When man is freed from the world and from himself, he expands without limits. He becomes a true person, which “encloses” within himself the whole of humanity as Christ himself does. That is why, on the moral plane, the Christian is called upon to love all human beings, even his enemies. Then God Himself comes and dwells within him, and the man arrives to the fullness of his theanthropic being 25. Here we can see the greatness of the human person, and can understand the superhuman struggles needed for his perfection.
One could also answer the Gnostic charge by looking at an event from the life of one of Ireland’s great monastic saints, St Kevin of Glendalough (+618 A.D.). In his life, it is recounted that when he was living in a valley of the Wicklow Mountains, he had a specially tender encounter with a blackbird:
Once during Lent, Saint Kevin stood praying in his hut with his hand sticking out of the window. Just then a blackbird nested in his hand and laid an egg. So gentle and compassionate was the Saint that he remained in this position until the eggs hatched and the fledglings were able to fly away.
If monks and nuns had a hateful attitude toward the world, St Kevin would have thrust the blackbird away from him. But he did not, and there is furthermore an abundance of these kinds of interactions with creatures in the lives of other monastic saints like St Columba of Iona, St Seraphim of Sarov, et al. And this is besides their service to man, in offering him spiritual counsel, food and shelter for those in need, education, and so forth.
Kaisar and others are correct in seeing that some level of hardship and struggle is needed for maintaining a healthy society. The ascetic ethos of traditional Christianity, and especially of its monastic life, provides those beneficial trials. And the South, being inclined toward fighting as she is, would seem to be a place where it could readily flourish, just as it did with our forebears in England:
By presenting religious life primarily as a ceaseless struggle against the “Ancient Foe,” monastic spirituality awakened widespread reverberation within a warlike society whose secular ethic . . . favored related values (André Vauchez, quoted in Robert Boenig, ‘Introduction’, Anglo-Saxon Spirituality: Selected Writings, Boenig trans., Mahwah, Nj., Paulist Press, 2000, p. 42).
How long might a country last that lives in such a way? The 1,100-year life of Constantinople/New Rome suggests the lifespans that are possible. May the poetic words of a renowned monk of that great city and empire inspire many Dixians to consider embracing the life of Christian asceticism and monasticism:
Mortals, escape with me from a false world!
Christ calls. Away! Life be our voyage fair,
Safe riding o’er the surge of cares and lies!
One quest alone employs the lonely Monk,
How he may reach the Haven of true peace,
Where never comes the strain of breaking hearts.
O happy life, all music, free from sorrow!
Where is the prudent seeker of true gain
Will part with all the world and choose the Cross?
–St. Theodore the Studite (quoted by Mother Ephrosynia)

I suppose “doomsayer” might be something of a fair epithet for a writer such as myself. Although, in my defense I’d like to point out that my general prediction of calamity is well-founded in a variety of elements. Demographics is one of the big ones. I recently came across an article about how Japan now has the lowest birthrate it’s ever had since it began recording that data in 1899.
Japan's Birth Rate Plummets To Record Low For Seventh Straight Year https://t.co/xYkHyUfOBR
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) June 4, 2023
It raises a fair point about whether Japan can remain functional or not as the demographic implosion continues. There are a number of significant implications. It’s also a problem responsible leaders in other countries have been trying to solve unsuccessfully. This is why nobody but the U.S. is seeking military conflicts. The supposed China/Taiwan crisis came out of nowhere for both parties precisely when the string pullers realized they were losing in Ukraine.
For instance, Russian married couples who decide to reproduce are entitled to various subsidies and also the equivalent of tens of thousands of U.S. dollars in government loans which don’t need to be repaid if they do so in sufficient numbers. A big domestic theme of Putin is “find wife, have babies.” These measures have surely helped bolster the birthrate, but not to replacement levels. Hungary has tried to do its best as well. This is a challenge of modernity stretching across race and culture nobody has been able to meet.
In Israel, the only tribe members reproducing themselves are the more extreme elements which is driving domestic strife as the “globohomo” ones realize these people will get the country destroyed after demographic reality gives them control of the political process. Meanwhile, they could enjoy their gay stuff within defined borders if this can be prevented so they can join the new Middle East order being set up by Russia and China.
Asia is a place I’ve done a lot of business. They’ve been grappling with this issue for quite some time. The days of China being the low-cost manufacturing hub are long gone. The birthrate crisis there is about as insane as Japan. The CCP hasn’t been able to do anything to solve it, and has greatly aggravated the situation by locking down the nation for years.
All the Americans I know who used to own factories in places like China and Taiwan are in Vietnam now. Across East Asia, low skill employment has been augmented by contract labor from Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia. It’s been this way as far back as my first experiences there around 30 years ago. Eventually, it will probably hit Vietnam if the country keeps developing. I’m pretty sure the Philippines will remain the Mexico of Asia though. If you must go, stay the hell out of Manila.
Back on topic, these imported workers don’t bring families to be subsidized, but instead are rather tightly controlled (White, white-collar workers are treated great) in factory dormitories or in someone’s house as a care giver for an elderly family member. This is how a government that’s not trying to turn its population into a minority handles labor shortages. Employers must provide these workers with a flight home if their contracts aren’t renewed. East Asian countries don’t really have social welfare systems anyways. It’s a “he who does not work, neither shall he eat” sort of region.
In Taiwan, the government covers all fertility treatments for married couples and then pays a subsidy per child per month along with all sorts of other free stuff. Birthrate? A nightmare, but it hasn’t eaten its way to the high-tech manufacturing sector yet. Kids are essentially a crop, and the island was still producing a decent one into the late 90s and early 2000s. However, it’s going to hit soon. Their university system is already collapsing due to a lack of students. The government is in the process of shuttering half of it.
There’s a set of counterproductive dynamics going on over there, which I’ll run through before I get to our miasma. The first is that nobody earning an average income can afford a home, which is generally what couples acquire before doing the kid thing just like White Americans. Housing prices in China are absolutely nuts to the point an average office worker might not even have a chance.
In all of these countries, there’s cheap housing over most of the geography, but not in the major cities where all of the jobs are located. Also, foreign earnings are often repatriated into housing investments, so a lot of these units aren’t even occupied but this sends prices through the roof. Moreover, women there see marrying a guy without a college education as marrying down, even if he’s making far more money than her office job. This greatly exacerbates the situation. They make a much bigger deal about being college-educated than we do, where it’s essentially become a joke about how you’ll be stuck working at Starbucks.
East Asian men view their countries as experiencing a femininity crisis. In fact, a popular choice has become a mail-order bride from Vietnam where the women will still be a “trad wife” and work hard at wifely duties and the husband’s business, whereas most women in East Asia can’t even cook anymore. Moreover, Vietnamese aren’t considered totally alien from a racial standpoint like Filipinos and Indonesians. We lump them all into one category, but they certainly don’t look at things this way.
A Chinese man with a Vietnamese wife will still have kids who pretty much look like him. However, this often doesn’t work out well for the man, particularly in Korea. There’s also the issue of women devoting their fertile years to degrees and career and then struggling once they settle down approaching 40 along with men spending too much time on video games. They’re significantly worse than us in both categories.
Alright, so setting their problems aside, what does this demographic imbalance mean for us? Well, we’re totally fucked, that’s what it means. By the time an average American Boomer takes his dirt nap, he’ll have contributed (extortion, really) a substantial surplus to the national coffers in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. A Latino? Probably will have drained around twice that much. A black? They’re each an instrument of mass financial destruction.
Essentially, the productive contributors are contracting as the third worlders are being imported by the millions every year to a life of subsidies. We don’t need to spend lots of time crunching numbers to discern calamity. One of the pro-immigration arguments that piss me off the most is how they’re doing jobs Americans don’t want. Yeah sure, I don’t work on the line in a chicken processing plant, but the government isn’t paying multiples of my income to house and provide for my family either.
The other thing is that a huge percentage of the White kids today are all screwed up, not just culturally but in terms of their health. They’re being fed a steady diet of high fructose corn syrup and other nightmare foods and they’ve been injected with a substance that’s permanently changed their DNA and that of any offspring they might produce. How is this all going to play out? Not too well probably, but nobody has seen this before. Historically, I can’t really think of comparable scenarios that offer much predictive value.
Enjoy your day and don’t fret about the future! Trying thinking like a black guy for once.
The post Doom, by the Numbers appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Russell D. Moore, the former president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and the current editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, recently wrote an article for that magazine entitled “Don’t Pretend the Ugandan Homosexuality Law Is Christian.” In the article, he condemns both the recently passed anti-sodomy law in Uganda and criticizes Christians in the West that support the measure. Moore, to his limited credit, does state several times throughout the article that he recognizes that sodomy is a sin. But his piece has several errors that must be addressed, which I will lay out here by focusing on three points in which I think Moore’s errors are particularly egregious.
The first issue with Moore’s article is that he is unwilling to be forthright in what the law actually does. Although he dislikes almost all it, his biggest complaint appears to be the use of the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality.” What is meant by “aggravated homosexuality” is never discussed by Moore, he refuses to define it, leading a naïve reader to think it’s simply a term for any homosexual activity. However, it is not. While homosexual activity of all stripes is made illegal under Uganda’s new law, not all homosexual activity is considered “aggravated homosexuality.” Rather, that phrase refers to the most depraved acts – rape, child molestation, and deliberately infecting someone with HIV, an act that is all but murder in a region struggling mightily with the AIDS epidemic. By refusing to define what is actually going on here, Moore is pulling the wool over the eyes of his audience, and he knows it. He understands that if he makes it look like the Ugandan government is going to start rounding up every last homosexual and kill them, he can gain a lot more sympathy. It also acts as cover for rapists, pederasts, and murderers. Uganda has criminalized sinful actions and assigned the death penalty to the most disgusting forms of those acts. It has not criminalized same sex attraction, but Moore ignores this distinction.
The second issue is that Moore does not address why Ugandans are particularly offended by sodomy. Yes, all Christians are required to do so, but there are reasons rooted in the early history of Christianity in Uganda as to why Ugandans are particularly aggrieved. During the late 1800s in the region now known as Uganda, there was a kabaka (king) of the Baganda people named Mwanga II. Something that must be understood is that to the Baganda people, the kabaka held absolute power over his subjects and could dispense death with no checks on his power. It also meant that no Bagandan in good will could refuse a demand of his kabaka, this included sexual favors. This is, of course, a gravely evil situation, one that was challenged by the incoming Christian missionaries who were teaching that God’s law was greater than the law of any man; thus, sinful requests by the kabaka must be refused. This would have been true of a heterosexual kabaka, but to make matters even worse, Mwanga II of Buganda was a pederast who would frequently abuse young boys. The chief of the royal pages, a man named Charles Lwanga, converted to Christianity and realized he could no longer participate in Mwanga’s sin, taking steps to hide young boys from this monster. Enraged, Mwanga ordered Lwanga, and the boys he was protecting, to be executed. These martyrs were burned alive, embracing their deaths because they knew that they would soon be in the loving embrace of Our Lord. This was part of a larger war that Mwanga waged on the Christians in his kingdom. Eventually, there would be 45 Christians murdered in total: 22 Catholics and 23 Anglicans. They are the Uganda Martyrs. Oddly enough, St. Charles Lwanga and his companions died in June – June 3rd, 1886, to be exact. The same month that has been turned into “Pride Month.”
Sodomy is particularly offensive to Ugandan Christians because they know what the earliest Christians in their country died fighting against. To allow sodomy, let alone promote it, is to betray their forefathers, but Moore will make no mention of this context. Moore, though nominally a Southerner, condemns the Confederate Battle Flag and has encouraged Southerners to talk to African-Americans about the flag. But when it comes to Ugandans and why they find sodomy so disgusting, Moore refuses to do that. Southerners fly the Confederate Battle Flag and the other flags of Dixie because it is a symbol of their people, no different than why an Irishman would fly the flag of Ireland, or a Russian would fly the flag of Russia. To be a particular ethnicity is no sin, while sodomy is a grave sin.
Finally, Moore apparently does not understand just how harmful sodomy actually is. Moore states that not ever sin needs to be a crime, and in the abstract I agree. It is, of course, a sin to lustfully look at a woman, but there is no rational or justifiable way to legislate against that behavior. We are talking about a passing glance or late-night thoughts. But some sins must be a crime, and sodomy is not like other sexual sins. There is a reason why Christian societies have dealt with sodomy more harshly than other sexual sins. At the heart of why sodomy is so particularly wicked is because it is a revolt against nature, and sins that conflict with nature are considered worse. If an unmarried man and woman have sex, this is a sin – it’s called fornication. And, it is a serious sin that should not be taken lightly. But it is also one well established within nature, it is natural that a man and a woman would want to have sex with each other; there is a reason why God instituted marriage for the regulation of this natural desire. However, sodomy is a sin that goes against nature. It sinks lower into sin. But Moore refuses to address this history and, as such, misleads his audience from recognizes the severity of sodomy.
It is one thing for the secular media to lie about the Uganda law. It is quite another for Russell Moore to play along in this game. If Moore does not think that homosexual activity should be a crime, then so be it. Nevertheless, he should be at least intellectually honest about it. Tell your audience who will actually be executed under this new law. Teach your audience about the Uganda Martyrs. More importantly, explain to your audience why Christian societies have historically punished sodomy more than “just another sin.”

The post The Stages of the Cycle of Collapse: Simplified appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Over my years of writing rightwing dissent, I’ve noticed there are certain immutable characteristics of my fellow travelers. One is that we’re not movable objects. For instance, not back then, not now, and not in the future is anyone going to convince any of us that turning a child into a tranny is acceptable.
This condition doesn’t apply to at least half of the population. Many White people can actually be conditioned to think that they arrived at erroneous conclusions cooked up by someone else for malicious purposes through their own mental and moral superiority. The scientific term is “shitlib.” Thus, by their very nature, they can never think the way we think or even understand where we’re coming from. It’s as if a large percentage of people are meant to be the flotsam of this world, which I don’t find encouraging.
Concordantly, because the truth will set one free, they’ll float in perpetual bondage. That doesn’t mean we don’t have an obligation to tell the truth, or you have to keep it inside you like a poison. Some of us feel that so strongly we’ve devoted enormous amounts of time and paid great personal prices for the privilege. What that means is that you’ll have to manage your expectations with most people and that’s going to have to scale up.
I struggle with this one in both a broad and personal sense but ranting for ID helps a bit. The first Trump campaign is when our sphere of content really kicked off. Everything was fun and games, which then devolved into a nightmare but we survived. It’s been non-stop insanity ever since and the ID contributors have been pumping out fresh content daily this entire time.
I’ve noticed collectively that the entire dissident sphere has been coming to grips with the logic of an escalatory insanity which now pervades every aspect of our civilization. Trump’s electoral victory was a pretty convincing demonstration that there were lots of like-minded people out there and by enough of them telling the truth, reforms could be accomplished. Since then, not so much. In fact, we’ve had a master class in how people you’re trying to help will throw you under the bus, congratulate themselves, and then get hit by the same bus.
Nothing is too crazy to rule out any more in terms of what the evil ghouls pulling the strings will attempt to inflict on us and what the average person will accept. One can infer they understand that most people are incredibly gullible, ignorant, complacent, and too scared to make a stand without realizing they don’t have much to lose in the big picture anyways.
This is our country, and you think it can’t collapse?Manipulatory actions are taken under this unfortunate premise, which time has forced me to accept as valid. For many dissidents, myself included, it took quite a while to come around to reality in this regard. If this wasn’t actually the case, things could never have gotten this far along, so I guess we didn’t want to admit to ourselves they’ll go much further along.
The COVID saga has fundamentally corrected my hopes about the sustainability of our civilization. I’m not saying you should be “black pilled” and devoid of hope. My point is that you’re going to need a well-founded spiritual conception for what transpires, because when factually confronted with its totality one will conclude we’re headed nowhere good at great haste.
This vague but alarming conclusion is logically inescapable. Hence, I hear everyone making it these days as the evidence piles up. There are a couple ways to cope with the emotional implications. One is to remind yourself as a Christian that in many ways, life is a moral proving ground and there are more powerful forces at work than just humanity.
No matter how severely they warp this world, this isn’t the long term, in which you’ll pass the time in a place much worse or better. That’s not to say you shouldn’t care about what happens around here, but to frame it emotionally in the proper context. Even if everything turns into a nightmarish miasma, your conduct remains extremely important.
The second is that you’ll just have to accept that things will inevitably culminate in crisis, but this will have to occur if we’re ever going to have an opportunity to establish a decent and sustainable life for new generations. Our financial, economic, and media apparatus is under total control, along with all the politicians and now the elections have been fortified with mail-in ballots. Telling the truth, reason, decency or even defending your life from a terrorist pointing a gun at you can get yourself fired from your job and much worse. They’re on a mission to get every single child and making progress on it every single day.
After dining with a teenage tranny, this doesn’t seem so rough.Domestically, there’s no peaceful or forceful mechanism for reform. If the system doesn’t implode from its own faults, then we’re totally screwed although that’s not going to be a fun process for anyone. It’s not about wishing for calamity, but simply acknowledging it’s in the cards as well as potential opportunities because we’re not going to get to the average person by telling him the truth. There’s ample evidence that this crisis already taking place in slow motion, and I come across it every single day.
For example, it would appear the era of the White military professional is coming to an end. Gen. Milley, who got to the top throwing his own under the bus, is being succeeded as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by a rabid affirmative action hack who intends to limit the number of White male officers to their percentage of the civilian population.
As far as how that will help fighter jets stay aloft, who the hell knows? These things fly over my friend’s neighborhood. The best I’m really hoping for is that when they fall out of the sky, his house doesn’t get nailed dead on. However, an errant flight could remove some of the tranny flags and BLM signs that dot his neighborhood. That’s hope, you see?
Meanwhile, we’re heading into World War 3 with a senior officer corps that already seems to be devoid of anyone morally or intellectually capable of offering an honest appraisal of the situation. Imagine this guy talking the Biden Administration out of stumbling into a direct confrontation. You can observe dysfunctional dynamics at work anywhere you choose to look.
I’m not claiming to be a clairvoyant. What I’m saying is that I don’t see a single rational piece of evidence for the sustainability of our current situation right down to the DNA of the majority of the White population. It has been permanently altered by these injections. Likewise with the carbon, of which all life consists, that’s now being subjected to a bizarre eradication campaign.
When you see something infuriating and insane, at this point do you feel outrage or is it more like: “Of course!”? Considering all of this in its totality, I basically arrive at the same conclusion as Putin will now state openly, which is that this system we’re under is essentially Luciferian and operates above the official political structure of the West.
The usury element can be traced back from ancient Phoenicia, through Venice and Amsterdam to the City of London (separate from London, the king can’t even enter without permission) which is probably where the ultimate financial power resides, not Wall Street or the Federal Reserve which are much later arrivals on the scene and thus arranged at the behest of the original cartel.
This is a digression, but these connections can be observed all over the place. For instance, the great-grandfather of Bill Gates was the director of the Seattle branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Marc Randolph, the founder of Netflix, is the great-nephew of Edward Bernays, the propagandist instrumental in getting the U.S. public riled up for World War One to facilitate the creation of Israel. There’s an unending web of these connections, and that’s just the information available to the public. Gates doesn’t promote endless injections and Netflix doesn’t endlessly promote racial miscegenation (and Gates right before his push began) by coincidence.

Along with usury, the base of its power comes from exploitation, plunder, and most of all deceit. These evils are fundamentally opposed by Christianity. This power has clearly been moving Western Civilization towards a wholesale rejection of our faith, the core tenants of which make a society sustainable. It appears to be doing so in the misguided belief that humanity can be downsized and transformed into an obedient, malleable mass.
The problem anyone who bothers trying to figure everything out encounters, which is what tripped me up, is that all the contradictory goals and self-defeating initiatives provide the initial impression that there’s no system operating in secrecy, much less something pursuing an ultimate purpose. Replacing nuclear power plants with windmills, for example. It seems like abject stupidity right out in the open.
This misplaced suspicion lies in a lack of understanding about pure evil, which leads the entity possessed by it to the direct pursuit of nasty outcomes, such as plunging out of Heaven like a lightning bolt, and that it’s unable to foresee the inevitable results of misdeeds. In other words, without a moral compass, one can’t spot the consequences he’s heading towards. With the proper spiritual orientation, everything becomes simple to understand.
Thus, we can see how due to the evil nature of this system, it careens from one crisis to the next. Moreover, it needs to plunder at great scale to keep itself going, which Putin asserts won’t be done to Russia again this time around. China is also militant that there’s never going to be another lick at their ice cream cone.
As another digression, you might be interested to look up what happened to Russia under the Bolsheviks and the 1990s looting operation. Also, China during the Opium Wars and up to Mao’s takeover. Perhaps also the looting of India under the British East India Company (Rothschilds, City of London). This will put the plunder I’m referring to in perspective. Many such cases, but these are the biggest.
It’s not therefore unreasonable to suspect that we’ll be the target once again since the plan definitely isn’t working in terms of Russia and absolutely will not in terms of China. That leaves the familiar victims (us) besides the Europeans who are being de-industrialized to concentrate things in North America. Putin has warned that if success in war doesn’t open the opposing bloc to looting, they’ll use hostilities as an excuse for this type of thing.
We’ve already been plundered, but there’s still plenty left to squeeze. Pensions, various retirement vehicles, and also Social Security will probably be gone by the time Gen X attempts leaving the workforce. Old people would still receive money, but it wouldn’t buy anything like what they’ve earned by contributing for all these years.
In drawing whatever conclusions about the future one might, it’s critical to understand that in order to stave off implosion, this debt-based system requires perpetual expansion. However, we’re living on a finite planet with a shrinking productive population. Perhaps in some sci-fi scenario where the White population had a healthy growth rate and new resources in the solar system were developed, it could go on indefinitely. From this dynamic alone, we can see that crisis is baked into the cake.
Radical steps will have to be taken to wipe out the old system and impose a new one while increasing control because people are going to be absolutely dismayed at what’s being done to them. To put this another way, if it can’t expand, it must plunder instead. And, that’s going to really piss us off, so we need to be under a tight grip.
This is why the repression against White people who work for a living keeps getting dialed up while drug addicts plague the streets and a black crime wave washes over a nation with open borders. These aren’t a set of infuriating coincidences; this is about maneuvering us legally and mentally to where we can be kept under wraps when we get really upset. White people are capable of losing their shit, and that day is what they fear above all else.

I wouldn’t be surprised if all government debt isn’t erased as these new CBDCs are introduced under the pretense of existential emergency. There could be multiple currencies. For example, those used for international transactions and separate domestic currencies for the peons. That which can’t continue won’t, the only real questions are when this profound shift is going to occur. War is always a good pretense. Massive NATO war games in Europe are kicking off, which always makes a nice excuse for prepping one. Things are getting hot in Serbia and the Ukrainians are claiming the Russians are about to blow up their own nuclear plant at Zaporizhzhia. It’s also roughly now or never for this Ukrainian counter offensive.

Right, just like they blew up their own POW camp and gas pipeline. So, maybe we get the war, or perhaps we get the climate emergency as an excuse to reset the system (really just another way to say screwing everyone over). My take is that the public finds fiery death and destruction much more compelling than being harangued about the polar ice caps. The lives of an aircraft carrier crew aren’t worth anything to the string pullers, but they actually are to Heritage America, thus providing a compelling event. Civil unrest stemming from the conflict is also a perfect excuse to implement all sorts of draconian measures.
They don’t care about the lives of Europeans affected by blowing up nuclear reactors, either. We’d be the primary targets of the war, not the Russians. It’s not as if they need to be defeated in whatever hostilities could occur. If the unstated primary motive for the war is actually domestic, it becomes clear why one could be undertaken without a hope of winning. To use an analogy, the most important thing this time around could be to keep riding the tiger rather than taking down big game.
The situation is already so kinetic it would actually be much easier to have a trigger incident than it would with China because the Taiwanese have no genuine enthusiasm for war. I must admit I hadn’t considered things from this angle until recently. All my previous articles came at it from the viewpoint that war would be crazy because the U.S. can’t win and lots of personnel would perish. That’s rather conventional thinking, which probably won’t put one in the head space of these ghouls. I could certainly be wrong, but I’m having a hard time making sense out of things in conventional terms.
So, those are a couple possibilities, but it could be some 9/11 event out of the blue. After the Twin Towers and now COVID, it’d be deeply irrational to think something is too evil or crazy to be done to us in order to justify doing even worse stuff to us. After all, the Japanese were baited into attacking Pearl Harbor and the Germans tried to take out newspaper ads warning civilians not to board the Lusitania.
The historical list goes on and on, so we can see that major undertakings don’t happen without some sort of dramatic event to corral public sentiment. If something happens, hopefully it’s a bump in the road to something better. I don’t really know, you just read a piece of informed speculation.

The post The Industrial Revolution Diet: Unlimited Microplastics appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Before we start, I want to preface this article by stating that I know the premise is going to be controversial to some, if not many, due to the fact that it deviates from well-established reactionary dogma. So, buckle up and get ready, because this article might seem highly off putting to read.
For the past decade, one mantra I’m sure you have heard repeated is that the Right must abandon the cities and escape to the countryside. The cities are doomed, they say, any minute now the collapse is going to happen; get out of the cities! I used to agree with this position, too. However, that has changed, and I am going to explain why.
If you are a regular reader of Identity Dixie, you may have noticed that I haven’t been writing as much recently. This is because I’ve been extremely busy; additionally, I like to write about things that give me a creative spark. To that end, I’ve been doing a lot of studying about all manner of things, and one of those has been infrastructure. By default, when you learn about the complexities of infrastructure it naturally ties into things such as development, land use, city planning, etc. These topics then go down their own respective rabbit holes with more strings attached.
Needless to say, I’ve been reading (and watching) a lot of information about the nuanced details that have, up until this point, kept Western society functioning. Say what you will about the cities, or the countryside, but both are part of a mutual ecosystem. One cannot live without the other; thus, it is important to understand both. Having migrated from the countryside to a city, it has given me a lot of eye-opening experiences regarding civilizational planning.
Also, do not mistake what I am presenting as a plea to abandon any ideas you have about a rural retreat (or redoubt). All I seek to do is provide an additional perspective and information which you may not have previously considered.
As much as people fantasize about becoming a farmer, rancher, or homesteader, it is much easier said than done. For a significant portion of rural “dreamers,” their motivations for living the country life are tied to the idea of civilizational collapse and/or civil conflict (or something more fantastical like a zombie apocalypse). Needless to say, these types of people are not ready for rural life, generally speaking.
For all of human civilization, we have had cities. The reality is that we cannot live without them. God made it so, and we cannot live without shelter. If you stay outside too long in the cold and without appropriate clothing, you die of exposure. Period, end of story. Shelter is a must, and we build them in all forms and fashions. We then realized that it’s a little easier to maintain not only our shelter, but what’s inside or outside of it, when you aren’t the only person doing everything. In turn, tasks and chores were divided up between the family. Then, humanity realized our survival odds went up when the tribe paired up to make additional shelters in the same area. Now even more tasks could be accomplished, and suddenly you have the recipe for a settlement, then a village, perhaps a trading post, and eventually a city.
With all of this productivity, there will be excesses. So, what do you do with it? You craft new things, or you trade or sell it. Now, we are getting somewhere.
If cities were not important, wars would not be waged over them. People would not fight for them. History is littered with historic battles over cities, from Troy to Acre to Richmond to Königsberg.
Cities became not only a representation of civilization, or safe harbor from the wilderness, but centers of power fueled by the scale of economies and commerce. As such, they became natural seats of government and the processing of resources. It’s significantly more efficient to store and produce things in a centralized location. Cities are important to the function of civilization and cannot exist without the importation of resources from the countryside. At the same time, life would be much harder in the countryside without the goods or services a city provides.
Cities are built for two main reasons – location and economics. While they are not mutually exclusive, both are important. A city in a bad location will almost always fail.
What does a good location look like? Many American cities were explicitly placed because of this very reason. Generally, a good location provides access to navigable waterways, a supply of resources, manageable terrain, etc. This is why we have many large cities near major water systems, such as the Mississippi River or natural bays such as Tampa Bay or the Chesapeake Bay.
Economies are also important; many cities sprang up because companies took advantage of an area’s natural resources. Some exist to this day and are still very successful, while others became ghost towns. A city which sprang up because of a company is Alcoa, Tennessee, which is named after the very company which built one of the most productive steel mills in the South. The Rust Belt is also littered with such places, but due to offshoring policies, bad economies, or poor management, they are receding.
There are, of course, reasons that cities fail, such as crime (negative for commerce and the citizenry) or natural disasters. A prime example is Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans, with the failure of the levy system which flooded the city. Even to this day, there are large swaths of the city which have not fully recovered. There are other reasons as well, such as unfavorable city governments that produce even worse city policies.
A common fallacy people have is that if civilization collapses, cities will cease to exist or function, and this notion comes directly from Hollywood (a good example is The Walking Dead). Bear in mind that these are the same people who think that you, as an average person, can purchase a $50,000 Tesla when Uncle Sam bans all internal combustion engines. We have volumes of recorded history that detail cities do not disappear. When the Roman Empire fell, did the city of Rome evaporate? No, the area remains settled and was rebuilt and is currently the capital of Italy.
Cities are the cradle of civilizational power. To control a civilization, you must control the cities. If you cannot physically occupy them through conquest, you have to control them some other way (by hook or crook). Liberal elites want you, as a rightwinger, to abandon the cities, so you cede more power and control to them. They will then use the might of that city to literally enslave you.
A routine question regarding this issue is: how do we take back our cities? The answer is in the exact same way they were built – you start small. This is why political districts are a thing. Take over one and expand outward. This is exactly what the Left has done. And this is what we must do, if we are to take back the cities our ancestors built. Remember, this is your home, not theirs.
Places like Memphis and Baltimore were not always the crime ridden husks that they are now. At one point, they were shining jewels of the South – representing not only our civilization, but seats for our high culture.
Make no mistake, our enemies want us to abandon the cities, which is exactly why they do not stop people from leaving them. For every inch you cede, they will follow in your wake. Collectively, we cannot afford to discard any more of our ground. Part of “retaking everything” includes reclaiming our cities. Our cities are also our home, too. We cannot survive without them.
I hope in reading this I may have got you thinking a little differently about our Southern cities. Remember that they are ours, and we must retake them. I thank you for your readership.
God bless you and God bless Dixie.

There’s been a lot of great alternative media coverage about the war in Ukraine. Since events drive traffic, I try to get an article out on the subject every week. This catastrophe feels like a denouement on a grand scale for a set of things that intersect with my past and current lives (I’m not referring to reincarnation) in both a personal and professional sense, so I do find it fascinating in a macabre sense of the word.
Plenty of great alternative coverage exists which I consume on a broad spectrum, in addition to the Chinese media and briefings from the Russian MOD. I use these variety of sources to draw conclusions and then provide my rightwing dissident take on the situation. I’ve noticed the thread that ties all of the alternative content producers together would be an intense frustration with, as the blacks say, “why you always lyin?”
One I check out regularly is Andrei Martyanov, whom I’ve been following since we were both republished regularly on a different site years ago. He’s a former Russian officer, so his take on the situation tends to be less than objective, which is understandable. Andrei offers one of the only honest English language assessments I’ve come across on Russian missile technology, of which he has first-hand experience. He recently critiqued an article from an Army captain in the Modern War Institute at West Point.
It’s a typically (for the U.S. military) insane review on the Kinzhal hypersonic missile and the May 16th incident where the Russians swarmed a Patriot battery at an airport in Kiev, with either cheap drones and decoy missiles or some sort of EW assault. In turn, it was quickly drained of its interceptors, thus forcing it to light itself up for a Kinzhal strike. Whatever tactic this was, it succeeded. The whole incident could’ve cost us upwards of 500 million dollars. A couple of the interceptors shot back down into Kiev. Quite embarrassing.
There are multiple points of verification for this happening, and a wealth of information from the U.S. military itself, derived from both testing and its combat track record that the Patriot system doesn’t work too well against incoming missiles. However, it has a decent track record of accidentally shooting down NATO aircraft. To be fair, the Russians are also damn good at doing this to themselves.
Notably, the Patriot has a piss poor track record (100%) of protecting Saudi oil facilities from Houthi drones which look cheaper than an undergraduate engineering project in Guatemala. The Russians have a variety of anti-aircraft systems acknowledged to perform better, with a solid track record in combat. For example, against a Tomahawk swarm in Syria and now against HIMARS and Storm Shadows in Ukraine. Foreign countries not totally under the American boot make their purchases accordingly, such as key NATO member Turkey (the coup against Erdogan failed), who bought the S-400 instead and told Uncle Sam to fuck off.

I read the author’s bio and it just triggers everything I know about my former comrades and why they interpret this conflict, which could escalate into World War 3 quite easily, in such an utterly ignorant and idiotic fashion. This expert instructor either lacks critical thinking skills or he knows that telling the truth would end his career and ostracize him from his friends and family, which I admit really sucks. Perhaps he’s trying to bolster his own emotional health. I’ll explain why, but first here’s the gist of his version of what happened:
The Kinzhal was shot down along with everything else sent to distract the battery [possibility nothing else was flying that night] just like the first one the Ukrainians claimed to have shot down on May 4th [The head of the Ukrainian air force actually denounced the first purported event as false]. A Kinzhal is junk compared to requested capabilities of the US army’s version which is currently being developed [so it doesn’t exist]. The “corrupt and inept” Russians have been proven a farce. Here’s a couple spinets that sum up why I find the potential for escalation so unnerving:
With this technical analysis in mind, it appears the Kinzhal is likely to join the Su-57, T-14 Armata, and BMPT Terminator in the dustbin of vaunted Russian weapons that have severely underperformed on the battlefield…
The ability of the Patriots donated by the United States and Germany to detect, track, and defeat this saturation attack coming from all different directions showcases the impressive advancements and upgrades that the venerable system has experienced since the Patriot was first updated for use against tactical ballistic and cruise missiles in the 1990s after its less-than-impressive showing against those threats during the Gulf War. Modern air defense systems have never faced a threat on the level of the current Russians air raids against Ukraine...
The Ukrainian success in utilizing Patriot systems to counter a saturation attack from modern weapons from a near-peer enemy demonstrates the remarkable evolution of defense technology and its ability to adapt to emerging challenges...
He’s typical of everyone I’ve heard from Gen. David Petraus on down about the superiority of America’s arsenal and how we’d swiftly mop the floor with the Russians if that’s what we decided needs to be done. Just like the rest of them, he offers zero real world scenarios where this has played out or plausible technical details, just a laughable misinterpretation of what’s actually happening.
The underlying premise he gets dead wrong is that the U.S. has a military designed to fight a war against a modern opponent with an MIC capable of sustaining combat for any extended period of time. Since Vietnam, it’s been an anti-poor people force, whereas Putin wields an implement designed specifically to confront NATO on the periphery of Russia in a massive conflict that could span years. Just because Russia can’t project power anywhere in the world to crush a poor country on behalf of Israel doesn’t make the bear a lame beast. Nobody I know with this dilettante’s background seems capable of fathoming the most basic principle of how the two opponents have prepared for a confrontation: only one side has genuinely bothered.
In fact, this means the bear can specialize in confronting the best systems Uncle Sam could deploy to defeat it. Uncle Sam doesn’t concern himself much with the bear’s capabilities, which is why a missile like the Tomahawk performs so poorly against Soviet-era Syrian AAs built to intercept it. This is the same reason the Serbs, despite the overwhelming odds against them, were able to use another such “obsolete” system to take down a vaunted stealth fighter in 1999 while only turning the radar on for less than 20 seconds. Russian missiles have long been designed to take out or fly past the Patriot system, which has been in service since the 1980s.
The battery hit in Kiev was the latest and greatest version. The fact that it was stationed there demonstrates that officials in the U.S. believe their own nonsense. If they were getting good information, they’d never have set themselves up for this humiliation.
What does this mean in terms of the author lying? Well, I don’t think that he’s lying if he’s interpreting the situation according to the point he’s trying to get across in his article, which everyone else tells me as well, that the Russian incompetents are fighting with junk. On the screens of those Patriot operators, it could’ve easily looked like they shot down one or multiple Kinzhals. Let me explain:
Kinzhals appear to be an air launched version of an Iskander-M. If one wanted to design a missile to take out American assets, he’d opt to outfit this thing with capabilities that would be a giant waste against the Taliban. It would need to fly faster than our interceptors, detect threats in real time, be equipped with the ability to take evasive maneuvers, and launch decoys to spoof our systems multiple times if a threat is detected on a long journey to the target through defended airspace.
Due to the anti-NATO mission of their military, the Russians have a vastly superior arsenal of various cruise missiles, along with vastly larger stockpiles and production capabilities. America’s military industrial complex is boutique by comparison. The Russians have been launching more cruise missiles in a few strikes than the total of Tomahawks fired since their inception. Cruise missiles are a colossal waste of money against Jihadists so one can make sense out of our MIC from that angle.
As it turns out, the Iskander-M (Mach 5 to 7 from a truck) can deploy 6 decoys from the rear of the missile. So, to the contractors operating the battery, it could look like they hit 6 Kinzhals if it also has this capability, which it does in all likelihood.
That’s what the Ukrainians claim happened. Their MOD tells crazy lies all the time and will even publish cut scenes from video games and claim it’s real footage, but perhaps these missile interceptions they’re always claiming were achieved look like real interceptions on a screen due to decoys. Apparently, some Kaliber variants can launch them as well.
This author’s bio shows that he’s got a good amount of international experience. However, dealing with one’s counterparts isn’t like dealing with foreign civilians or the other side’s military personnel. Most of humanity doesn’t like the U.S. military and considers it a force harnessed for malevolence. To the extent they do support it, that’s not because they approve of its overall global mission. For example, the Poles I know are cheering it on because they have a seething hatred for the Russians, but these same Poles will denounce everything else that it’s done since World War 2.
American military professionals are in a media and organizational environment where counterpoints don’t get raised, the group think is intense, and everybody making a career out of it congratulates themselves as the good guys and thanks each other for their service. I’m not trying to denigrate anyone’s combat heroism or military service in general, what I’m saying is that this is a huge problem as the boat sails towards the top of the waterfall which ain’t on Captain Crunch’s map.
I suspect part of this is the mentality of a man trying to make a career out of the modern U.S. military. Again, there’s also the consequences’ part he’d experience immediately for deviating from the narrative. However, I’m sure that on an emotional level, leadership has to double down on the moral righteousness of their cause and the superiority of their equipment and capabilities because reality is just too unpalatable to acknowledge, and the potentialities are downright unnerving.
That’s how you get the most absolutely stupid quote from the entire article: “the Kinzhal is more akin to a giant lawn dart loaded with explosives.” At the outset of the war, this thing punched through over 100 feet of rock into a bunker designed to withstand a nuclear attack and detonated the munitions stored inside. The blast shook buildings miles away. Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country, come the fuck on. Right, so a weapon with an established combat record is shit compared to ours, which we haven’t even mastered a prototype for yet. It’s so typical of everything I’m hearing, and it just makes me wish we could just get to the nuke part already because that would be the gentlest ending for all involved.
The Kinzhal isn’t the most advanced hypersonic in the Russian arsenal. That would be Avangard and the naval Zircon. These have yet to be seen in action, but if the conflict drags on it’s a good bet we’ll see them used both for the Russians to gain operational experience and demonstrate to the U.S. the recklessness of getting further involved, not that it would matter.

Moreover, and contrary to the “expert analysis” that the U.S. has nothing to fear in a modern war with Russia, consider this: the Kinzhal was designed as a carrier killer. Putin has political considerations in this war. His base is boomer Russians getting riled up watching television news talk shows. They’re pissed, they want blood, and there’s only so many drone attacks on Moscow or incursions into Belgorod he can ignore before he has to mollify them somehow.
A carrier sailing around in the Mediterranean or Persian Gulf (where it can’t hide) could become an attractive option. Will the American public really want war when it sees a carrier wrecked? I have no idea what goes on in Putin’s head but it’s troubling because these are logical retaliations and I’d guarantee he’s got advisors floating just these sorts of scenarios. At least 20,00 Russians have died in this war that we started on their doorstep. Killing 2,600 American sailors doesn’t sound like such a stretch in this context. Russian boomers get pumped up with this sort of stuff all the time on television.
The reality is that the Russians have possessed the ability to locate and take out a carrier with missiles since the 1970s (at least). It’s long had missiles, which are currently slamming to Ukraine, that are designed to get past a carrier’s defensive screen, shoot upwards, and come down vertically on it at hypersonic speeds thereby plunging through the ship to detonate the magazine. Maybe some would be intercepted, but they’d be launching more than “some.”
This is a factor any American officer seeking a career should know. It used to be common knowledge which is why American plans for World War 3 all had the carriers near Europe heading south of the GIUK Gap as fast as possible, and then into the open Atlantic where they’d be difficult to find, and their defensive screen would have lots of space to deal with incoming threats.

From reading this article, it’s obvious that the featured analysis followed the Pentagon’s playbook in assessing what transpires in Ukraine: believe whatever they tell us. That’s hard to blame because this happens at the highest level, which is how you get Kirby doing press conferences asserting the Russians lost 100,000 men in Bakhmut. The Ukrainians say something ridiculous happened, then it’s taken in good faith no matter how implausible without apparently any independent attempt at verification. As a military, the Ukrainians have a track record of telling the most buck wild lies imaginable and somehow we keep believing them. It’s quite surreal.
The other thing to note is that the author of this work of sheer delusion is the kind of officer who’s been climbing the ranks to the point where he’s the one advising the politicians, academic psychopaths, and State Department people of our capabilities compared to the Russians. This is how the suits then come up with these idiotic plans under a totally faulty premise. Nobody would come up with a plan for something as horrifically stupid as what we’re watching right now if they simply had an honest appraisal of the situation.
To use an analogy, a thug may wish to do a robbery. So, that’s part of why the attempt gets made. Still, if someone informs him that his target is a large man with a gun, he’ll probably desist from his desire. However, if he’s misinformed that his target is a weakling who can’t shoot straight, well that’s the distance between his desire and his death.
Indeed, what we’re watching is the dirty work of office workers who believe the bullshit and make decisions accordingly. They don’t understand what’s going on with the military situation in any technical, tactical, or strategic sense. This country is so far gone there’s nobody in uniform ranked high enough to get into that conference room and tell them. Anything could happen because over a year of failure doesn’t seem to be cluing these ghoulish idiots into reality.
Putin has a multi-decade track record of making threats and then pulling the trigger on these threats when they fail to deter. Ukraine is his fourth significant military intervention. The previous three were successful because he assessed the situation and wagered correctly based on real facts. Our string-pullers have done the opposite during his entire tenure. Nobody of any importance on this side of the equation seems to notice a pattern. Honestly, I’m far more frustrated than alarmed. Like I said, the nuke thing doesn’t really bother me.
Don’t worry, he’s always bluffing and Russia probably can’t even build a working nuke. The post Diagnosing Delusion appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Today, there should be a sadness. A soberness should grip us, for today we mourn the passing of our Southern dead, and it need not matter if they wore the butternut and gray, the coat of our colonial fathers, or the uniform of the Empire that now holds our people captive – we must remember them all. For whenever they were called upon to unsheathe the sword, in their hearts they were fighting for our people. They are the bravest of the brave, and they live on within us, and they are made eternal still the more when we remember them on this hallowed day.
Father Abram Ryan was and always shall be the “Poet Laureate of the Confederacy,” and it is my honor to introduce those who may not be familiar with his poetry on this special day. It is my hope that you will reflect on our brother’s words on this occasion and remember the great sacrifice of our glorious cause.
“March of the Deathless Dead”Gather the sacred dust
Of the warriors tried and true,
Who bore the flag of our People’s trust
And fell in a cause, though lost, still just
And died for me and you.
Gather them one and all!
From the Private to the Chief,
Come they from hovel or princely hall,
They fell for us, and for them should fall
The tears of a Nation’s grief.
Gather the corpses strewn
O’er many a battle plain;
From many a grave that lies so lone,
Without a name and without a stone,
Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they came,
Dear in their lifeless clay!
Whether unknown, or known to fame,
Their cause and country still the same—
They died — and wore the Gray
Wherever the brave had died,
They should not rest apart;
Living, they struggled side by side,
Why should the hand of death divide
A single heart from heart?
Gather their scattered clay,
Wherever it may rest;
Just as they marched to the bloody fray,
Just as they fell on the battle day!
Bury then breast to breast.
The foeman need not dread
This gathering of the brave;
Without sword or flag, with the soundless tread,
We muster once more our deathless dead,
Out of each lovely grave.
The foeman need not frown,
They all are powerless now:
We gather them here and we lay them down,
And tears and prayers are the only crown
We bring to wreathe each brow.
And the dead thus meet the dead,
While the living o’er them weep:
And the men by Lee and Stonewall led,
And the hearts that once together bled,
Together still shall sleep.

The post March of the Deathless Dead appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Father Dabney put his finger on the crucial issue for the South (and for any people): There must be religious unity for a people to survive and flourish. He writes:
In what I found to be a fluid disposition, Rebecca Dillingham makes the argument, and I would agree on principle, that the South has been crippled by our denominational diversity. Although I do not agree with her conclusion that Orthodoxy is the cure, myself being more in favor of a blend of Southern Presbyterian theology and Anglican liturgy (I attend such a church); I absolutely agree that stability in the churches of the South must be addressed.
In saying this, however, he also reveals one of the main reasons why there isn’t religious unity in Dixie, although we don’t think he meant to: Folks treating religion as a DIY project. That’s what his solution for the religion question for the South boils down to, a preference for a new combination of recent arrivals in Christian history – “a blend of Southern Presbyterian theology and Anglican liturgy.”
One may discern immediately that something is amiss with this formulation according to the principle of “lex orandi, lex credendi,” which translates roughly to “The law of worship is the law of belief” (see p. 19 of this essay). There is a contradiction in blending Presbyterian theology with Anglican worship forms, as theology and worship form an integrated whole. Presbyterian forms of worship and Presbyterian theology cannot be separated, cannot be spliced together with other Protestant, Catholic, etc., theologies and forms of worship. They are mutually exclusive of one another. Such experimental religious combinations will not fare any better than the genetic splicing together of different plant and animal species that scientists have been madly going about lately.
New-fangled denominational mishmashes will not be able to withstand the attacks of the enemy over the long haul. What is needed is to find the Church that Christ established (not the one that man concocted), the one He promised that the “gates of hell shall not prevail against” (St Matthew’s Gospel 16:18). A central question we may ask, therefore, is – which Church received its form of worship from God Himself, and still uses that same order of worship? This can only be said of the Divine Liturgy of the Orthodox Church. The priest Fr George Mastrantonis says concerning this:
The Divine Liturgy is considered the most significant ancient Christian service, not so much for its phrasing and words as for its meaning. In fact, the Divine Liturgy was in practice right after the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Disciples of Christ on the 50th day after His Resurrection, as the sacred writer of the Acts of the Apostles records (Acts 2:46 ff)… The Divine Liturgy as such was the center of the inspiration of the first Christians in their communion with God and with one another.
In upper rooms and catacombs the Apostles and later the Presbyters and Bishops of the primitive Christian Church offered the Divine Liturgy for its sacred Mysteries. It seems that relics and reminiscences of that time were preserved in the Divine Liturgies of the 2nd century and especially of the 4th century when the Liturgies took their final form. But whatever were the various forms of the Divine Liturgy of the primitive Church, as well as of the Church of the final formation of the Divine Liturgy, the meaning given to it by both the celebrants and the communicants was one and the same; that is, the belief of the awesome change of the sacred Species of the Bread and Wine into the precious Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, the Lord.
The three most well-known versions of the Orthodox Divine Liturgy, with their ancient, apostolic lineages, are listed and described by Fr George:
St. Basil’s Liturgy is attested to not only by the Penthecte Synod (692 A.D.) but also by his friend Gregory of Nazianzos, who in his Funeral Oration said that Basil wrote “provisions of prayers, decencies of the Altar;” also by Leontios the Byzantios who put the Prayer of Oblation of Basil together with that of the Apostles; thirdly by the letter of the Monks of Skythia to the African Bishops (520 A.D.) reporting that almost the entire East repeated the Liturgy of St. Basil. Those are a few documents, among many others, establishing St. Basil’s Liturgy as a genuine work. St. Basil’s Liturgy is celebrated about 10 times a year, including the Sundays of Lent.
The Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts is very ancient, “known to the Church before the initiators Basil and Chrysostom” as Patriarch Michael (12th century) infers. It is ascribed rather to Apostle James or Peter. The information that Pope Gregory, the Dialogos, wrote this Liturgy is untrue for many reasons, among them that he did not know the Greek language. As for the use of this Liturgy the 52nd canon of the 6th Ecumenical Synod refers to it, decreeing that “in all the fasting days of Lent, save Saturday, Sunday and the day of Annunciation, the sacred celebration of the Presanctified Gifts should take place.” This Liturgy is celebrated in connection with the vesper service during the evenings. It keeps its venerable character even now whein it is officiated during the mornings. It is called that of the Presanctified Gifts because the Sacred Gifts have been sanctified previously in the Liturgy of St. Basil or St. Chrysostom. This Liturgy is not officiated for the awesome change of the Gifts, but rather for the partaking of the Presanctified Gifts by the faithful Christians.
St. Chrysostom’s Liturgy is well known and very common in the Eastern Orthodox Church. It may be celebrated every day of the year except the ones of St. Basil and those of the Presanctified Gifts, and on Good Friday. It is shorter than that of St. Basil and much reduced compared to St. James’. St. Chrysostom’s Liturgy put an end to the free prayers and hymns in the officiation of the Holy Eucharist. This Liturgy placed a seal on the free forms of the re-enactment of the Mystic Supper of the Lord, depicting it in its finest form with a destiny of enduring far into the future. Despite the addition of hymns at later times, the St. Chrysostom Liturgy remains the same majestic religious masterpiece with grandeur and dramatic appeal matching the human expression and the divine act. St. Chrysostom (345-407A.D.) was an eloquent preacher, writer and one of the Fathers of the Orthodox Church, whose writings have been translated into many languages and have nourished the Christian Church throughout the centuries.
Fr George makes the unforced error of calling her the “Eastern Orthodox Church,” but this obscures the fact that the Orthodox Church is universal, for all peoples, and that she was in fact the original Church of the lands of the West. There is a wonderful hymn dedicated to all Orthodox saints of the West that illustrates this truth. Here is a part of it (Ikos 4):
With joy ye shed your blood for Christ, O venerable martyrs, and to Him ye offered yourselves as a well-received sacrifice. And the peoples of the West, seeing your unspeakable patience, understood that the God of Glory Himself dwelt within you, and marvelling at such a thing, with faith began singing to you thus:
Rejoice, Tatiana and Anastasia, together with Sophia and her three daughters!
Rejoice, Cecilia and Agnes, who showed yourselves women unequalled in courage!
Rejoice, Laurence, archdeacon, together with Sebastian, the glorious martyr of Christ!
Rejoice, good victors, for through your unspeakable passions ye hallowed pagan Rome!
Rejoice, all ye who filled all the lands of the West with your struggles!
Rejoice, Agatha and Lucy, praised martyrs, for in Italy ye fought the good fight!
Rejoice, Valentine and Januarius, enlightened bishops, for ye sealed your teaching with blood!
Rejoice, Cyprian, hierarch, together with Perpetua and Felicity and all those that laid down their lives for Christ in the African lands!
Rejoice, Maurice, wonderful martyr, for in the Swiss lands alongside thy soldiers thou didst fearlessly stand up in the face of death!
Rejoice, Vincent, deacon, for thou didst hallow Spain through thine unimaginable torments!
Rejoice, Alban, valiant warrior, for thou didst offer thyself as the first pure sacrifice of Britain to the true God!
Rejoice, Ursula, bride of Christ, who with thy blood washed the German lands!
Rejoice, all ye Saints, that in the lands of the West confessed the true faith!
Fr Andrew Phillips of England also has numerous writings relating to Orthodoxy in the West, and there is now the Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship for the specifically Southern expression of the Orthodox Faith.
Later additions to the Orthodox Church’s Divine Liturgy also have heavenly origins. For example:
During the reign of Emperor Theodsios II (402-450) the city of Constantinople was shaken by earthquakes for nearly four months. At that time several churches, houses, and the city’s stone walls collapsed and were destroyed. All the inhabitants of the city were terrified. Patriarch Proclus (November 20) organized a barefoot Cross Procession and solemnly prayed for God to protect them. While this was taking place, the tremors increased dramatically, and a young boy in the crowd was lifted up into Heaven by some invisible power, and the people, cried out, “Lord, have mercy.”
After returning to earth, the boy told the people that he had heard the Angels glorifying God by singing “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us,” and that a voice had commanded him to tell Patriarch Proclus that henceforth the people should supplicate God in this way, without adding anything to it. The Patriarch instructed the people to sing this hymn, whereupon the ground stopped shaking and the child reposed.
From that time the hymn was inserted into the Divine Liturgy, just as it was sung by the people during the earthquake, and as it is still sung up to the present day.
But we do not want to belabor the reader. If he wishes to explore further on these points, we pray that the Lord Jesus Christ would guide him.
We also thank again Father Dabney for raising this most important of subjects. There never was a people who survived without being dedicated to a divine order of some sort – whether Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, etc. Uniting the South in the Christian Faith is therefore the highest priority. May the All-Holy Trinity have mercy on us and help us to achieve this unity (Ephesians 4:1-6)!

On Monday, May 22nd, South Carolina Junior Senator, Timothy Eugene “Tim” Scott, announced he is running for president in the 2024 Republican Primary. As usual, the Republican Party was elated. They finally got an elected black candidate. The lead up to Tim Scott’s announcement was littered with Republican candidates eager to prove they are not racist. The New York Post wrote that “Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA)… was “very excited” about a potential Scott run, while Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said he would “advise him to go for it,” and Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) said it “Doesn’t get any better than Tim Scott.”” The overwhelming need by GOP political hacks to prove that Republicans are not racist is pathetic, laughable, and yet, predictable.
South Dakota, a state with zero similarities to the demographic profile of South Carolina, nearly tripped over Iowa in an effort to show it was the least racist of them all. Republican Senators Mike Rounds and John Thune have already endorsed Tim Scott. “I think he is the closest to Ronald Reagan that you’re going to see,” stated Senator Rounds. Ignoring the fact that Reagan was a charismatic and handsome actor who was a ladies’ man during his heyday, it is hard to see what Rounds sees. The black senator who was never married (and reportedly never had a girlfriend) initially ascended to the Russell Building at the Capitol by means of an appointment made by the other 2024 presidential candidate from South Carolina, Nikki Haley. By contrast, Reagan, the actor-turned-politician, spent eight years leading the most populous state in these United States before becoming a political activist for limited government. The Reagan comparisons are always tiresome, but this one was just pure cringe.
Never to be outdone for his love of black people, Donald Trump came out in support of the Scott candidacy. Quoting the former president who boasted the lowest black unemployment in post-13th Amendment history, Trump said on Truth Social, “Tim is a big step up from Ron DeSanctimonious, who is totally unelectable.” As for DeSantis, the Florida governor does not think much of Tim Scott, stating that there were only three choices in 2024, “[DeSantis], Trump, or Biden.” DeSantis is in the minority of Republicans who cannot kiss a black candidate’s buttocks fast enough. His comment led Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy to steal the language of the antifa, claiming that DeSantis “depeopled” Scott on CNN’s “State of the Union” television show and claimed this was DeSantis’ attempt to “dis” a candidate. This coincided with Cassidy alluding to DeSantis’ alleged anti-black racism (something with which the NAACP agrees).
As if the defense of the black presidential candidate were scripted from on-high, the other Senator Scott, the terrible former Florida governor, Rick Scott, distanced himself from DeSantis. While praising Tim Scott, Rick Scott – who ironically co-authored the “PROTECT Kids Act,” expressed his desire for Ron DeSantis to “sit down” with the LGBTQ and black communities to find ways he could work together with the Florida government and address “real concerns” for transgender and African-American children. Again, this appeared to be an attempt to elevate alleged bigotry as a concern upon the black Republican’s entry into the race. The play became obvious over the lead-up to the announcement by Tim Scott: elevate Scott, ignore Trump, target DeSantis. Consequently, Republican advisors in the mainstream media were quick to point out that Ron DeSantis put most of the Black Lives Matter leadership of Florida into prison before permanently stripping black congressional districts while dismissing Tim Scott.
The fawning love for South Carolina’s Tim Scott – as well as Candace “Dox Dissidents” Owens, Herschel “Punch Drunk” Walker, and Ben “stab them in the belt buckle” Carson – is a depraved sickness within the Republican Party. In almost every case of a black political actor, if that black person shows any bit of love toward the Republican Party, the GOP will ignore the actual political or philosophical positions of the black individual and declare their undying love for the black person. That holds true whether the subject is the virulent anti-Southern, anti-White Frederick Douglass, the communist-rapist Martin Luther King, Jr., or Tim Scott. So, what does the other unmarried senator from South Carolina believe?
If you follow his record, which has been decried as harshly conservative by the usual leftist voices, you find a mixed bag. Note, my definition of conservative – someone who seeks to conserve – and the Republican definition of conserve are not the same, but I digress. Looking at Tim Scott’s record, it is clear that he should be entirely unacceptable to any voter who believes “law and order” are priorities in a rapidly collapsing United States.
To begin, Tim Scott has voted with the majority of Republicans on most issues, especially as it pertains to executive appointments, such as cabinet officials and judicial nominees (both for and against). He is for a balanced-budget and opposes same-sex marriages. In this regard, he will be touted as a good, loyal conservative. Of course, the Republican Party is barely a conservative party and voting along largely meaningless lines (such as appointments while in the minority) simply serves to raise the profile of the member’s conservative voting record, the substance of which is often lost in the statistics. What is more troubling are Scott’s tribal inclinations. Despite being a Republican who serves a generally conservative state in the South, Tim Scott often thinks like many of his black counterparts in the Democratic Party: “black first.” Consider the following examples.
In 2018, Scott teamed with Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Kamala Harris (D-CA), to pass a federal hate crime bill that made lynching an automatic hate crime. Ignoring for a moment that hate crime legislation is by nature anti-conservative, the perpetual myth that lynching was an exclusively White-on-others (usually black) crime was validated by the black senator’s definition of lynching and his flawed historical assessment of the practice. The reality of lynching was that the act was reserved for the most heinous crimes against a local community and it was especially enacted by Whites upon Whites (such as an accusation of sexual deviancy). Black “victims” of lynchings were most often neither innocent nor victims. Proof of this assertion can be found in the equitable way in which a White mob in turn-of-the-19th/20th century Georgia bypassed a black janitor, Jim Conley, who was falsely accused of raping a White girl named Mary Phagan, and lynched White (albeit Jewish) Leo Frank for the rape he clearly committed (leading to the creation of the Anti-Defamation League as a means to ensure Jewish sexual criminals are never held accountable for their crimes in the future). But Tim Scott’s anti-White animus gets worse.
In 2020, Scott led the creation of the “Justice Act.” Scott’s reaction to criticism from the political Left was telling: “Not surprising the last 24 hours have seen a lot of ‘token’ ‘boy’ or ‘you’re being used’ in my mentions… Let me get this straight … you DON’T want the person who has faced racial profiling by police, been pulled over dozens of times, or been speaking out for YEARS drafting this?” In other words, Tim Scott saw himself as a fellow victim of White-on-black racism.
McConnell seemed to confirm this belief in White racism and Scott’s victim status when he stated in the same article, “None of us have had the experience of being an African American in this country and dealing with this discrimination. I think the best way for the Senate Republicans to go forward on this is to listen to one of our own, who’s had these experiences.” Whereas some of the bill was commendable (such as a reduction in “no-knock” warrants), it also did the following: (1) it levied penalties against the use of chokeholds (referencing black criminal Eric Garner’s death at the hands of the NYPD); (2) created a federal database to track allegations of racism by police officers when considering other departmental hiring or promotions; (3) provided for federal suspensions of grants to police departments that hired or kept police officers accused of racism; (4) strengthened the role of the Far Left Department of Justice in local police training and oversight over allegations of racism; and (5) strengthened the Department of Homeland Security’s role in tracking bigoted communication, especially as it pertained to the proliferation of memes and content among law enforcement. In other words, Tim Scott’s “Justice Act” was a litany of black grievances, often predicated on outlandish lies. Trump would go on to rhetorically support the bill.
Thankfully, due in large part to the Democrat’s desire to deny a Republican win for the black community, the bill was killed by the Nancy Pelosi Congress. According to them, it did not go far enough. In reality, an election year killed the bill that would have otherwise passed. In fact, many of the provisions have since passed by means of executive orders through the Biden Administration’s weaponization of law enforcement grants. Like the rest of his fellow black community members, Tim Scott is never going to be a conservative in the same sense as Whites – especially Southerners – define the term. I have written about this issue before at Identity Dixie. The historic definition of American conservatism is predicated on a limited but moral government, by which the states are the empowered institutions, not the federal government. That concept is not shared by blacks who view “states’ rights” as a euphemism for their suppression – whether the state right is slavery, Jim Crow segregation, or stand your ground. The most conservative blacks have seen the American experience as one in which it is “us against them,” even if they hold a marginal animus toward “them” (i.e., Whites). Based on Tim Scott’s approach toward federal law enforcement reform, it is clear he has an “us against them” mentality, too.
Regardless, the GOP is hot for Scott, because he’s black.

John Randolph of Roanoke (1773-1833) said that he had never seen, “A Yankee who knew anything about the classics.” Exaggerated or not, Northerners readily recognized that antebellum Southerners loved to display their knowledge of Greek and Latin and had more than passing familiarity with the untranslated classics.
From the beginning, the South felt a spiritual kinship with the Greco-Roman civilization and parallels with Sparta in particular because of the city-state’s all-encompassing martial spirit, commitment to duty, and rule by a small citizen class of aristocracy and landed gentry. There was also an unflinching acknowledgement that both required the helot/slave class to sustain their agrarian economies. The Southern interest in Sparta goes deeper, however.
Sparta’s 1,000-year history was deeply explored by the Southern aristocracy because it offered a tantalizing example that suggested a potential for enduring greatness that was achievable if the right lessons were learned from Sparta’s rise and fall. And one of the keys to Sparta’s success was that it represented the rarest of balances a long-lasting civilization could attain: a perpetual warrior ethos that intentionally nurtured a high culture that was to serve it.
Unlike Athenian high culture, Sparta’s architecture, art, music, and literature, was employed to preserve the military spirit that kept decadence at bay. Spartan art and music was paid for by the city-state itself and was mostly a celebration of Sparta. Public monuments glorified figures of the state in what today many would label as unbridled patriotism and state-sponsored propaganda. But the Spartans didn’t view it that way at all. They believed Sparta was great and what they’d built over centuries deserved to be celebrated, glorified, and worth giving one’s life for.
While antiquity significantly inspired the Anglo-Saxon Tidewater aristocracy and landed gentry, the military tradition of the Deep South and Appalachian populations didn’t look to Sparta. Upon arrival, they were already genetically fortified by their Scot-Irish and Welsh heritages and a predisposition for autonomy and a fierce willingness to fight for it.
Given this backdrop, it is no surprise that throughout the South, men of all classes regularly follow the family tradition of military duty. From the Tidewater to the backwaters, a complex mixture of intellectual, historical, mythical, heritage, and ancestry created a warrior ethos that had no equal in any other region in the United States.
An honest assessment of the South today, however, suggests that the warrior spirit is in grave danger.
The High Culture ParadoxA high culture can only emerge once significant free time is possible. By high culture, I mean something of especially good quality, enduring merit, and things that represent, in some sense, the very best and most meaningful things of the culture itself. High culture deeply explores aesthetics, beauty, abstractions, and philosophical things; in other words, the transcendent, what is good, true, and beautiful.
High culture requires the literal luxury of time that only success and comfort can provide. It then requires a commitment of those who can afford it, to cultivate those rare talents among the population who have the ability to create high cultured things – sophisticated music, stories, and art of all kinds.
The glories of an affluent civilization that can produce high culture however comes with the price tag of decadence. And decadence unchecked will inevitably devolve into an indulgent sensuousness that expresses itself in the arts and that will sap the vitality of the warrior ethos in a population.
Popular low culture ascends quickly. It appeals to base instincts and emotions and easily triumphs to leave the things that plumb the depths of the human experience and the soul’s journey abandoned and mocked.
The wise Spartans were well aware of the connection between the arts and the health of the martial spirit. More importantly, that even in peace, they knew that their warrior ethos was integral for their survival and must be protected.
Emulating the extreme low culture of the ghetto and the underclass is what terminal decadence looks like. A dead martial spirit is one that joins in the celebration of the damned in all its swishing pride.
A reborn South will necessarily be one that will also revive the controlled demeanor of the Spartan warrior. This will only be possible if it begins to think seriously about how it will tame the arts.

Humans aren’t all the same, which is reflected in their moral outlooks on society and their interpretation of various situations. That’s why we all belong in our own countries or godforsaken jungles. Unfortunately, the majority of our shithole’s white population has been brainwashed into thinking we’re all the same.
Black people don’t suffer from this problem. To them, everything is about them, the most highly-capable race. So, when they were utilized as farm equipment it was a punishment from God on His divine chosen, and when they’re utilized as instruments of chaos by its contemporary sowers this is because their cause is righteous.
This can lead to a couple reactions from different types of white people that really piss me off and I’m not referring to the antifa variety. One type of our own will implore these blacks to be reasonable by pointing out the vast statistical disparity in interracial violence and the objective merits of a particular situation, like how the black career criminal tried to take a police officer’s gun.
Another type will look at the destruction caused by the blacks over this incident, use empathy to analyze the situation, and conclude that they’d need to be badly-abused to behave this way so there must be some validity to the black fury.
I hate everyone in both categories.
The inability of blacks, even the high-functioning sliver, to perform morally-objective assessments or “do unto others” is often referred to as “tribal morality” or “retarded childish narcissism.” In their minds, nobody else has a right to defend themselves from blacks, hold them accountable for crimes, or even interfere with ongoing violations of the law. The truth is really that simple, and the problem is that the people I described above would call me a racist for pointing it out.
This is how we get angry statements from family members and community leaders in the following hypothetical scenarios, which you’ll notice we’ve seen many times in our current miasma:
“Ain’t nobody got the right to take my boi’s life, dey ain’t have ta kill him.” – Shot dead while conducting an armed home invasion.
“He said he wus hungry, why you ain’t offer him da shirt off yo’ back? Ain’t no good reason ta kill dis boi.” -Deranged drug addict who died of an overdose while being restrained by a good Samaritan from attacking a pregnant woman.
“We done told you, y’all need to stop killin’ us!” – Looter departing burning box store.
“Ain’t like he was gone’ live foreva.” – Angry mother at son’s sentencing for murdering an elderly white man during a carjacking.
As a collective, there’s no reasoning with blacks. It’s possible to use some combination of fear and proactive law enforcement to impose a semblance of stability in their communities and keep everyone else mostly safe. What’s not possible is to achieve these two outcomes by praising them, apologizing for not doing anything wrong, giving them free stuff, and awarding them a privileged status vis-à-vis the law.

This country is a joke.The people I described above are inclined to think all or some of this could work, which is how we get this nonsense about judging people by the content of their character and platinum plans to unleash the entrepreneurial potential of the black community. They can’t conceive that more nefarious actors are in the process of imposing a new order on us using disorder achieved through precisely what these misguided idiots think could mollify blacks and get them to behave.
It’s as obvious as it is evil and crazy. For one thing, the black conception of material wealth at the racial level is that everybody is “given stuff.” White people are given more stuff than black people, thus explaining the disparity between a suburb and a dilapidated war zone like Baltimore or Chicago. By giving more stuff, you’re just giving them that to which they’re entitled. The notion that whites can achieve black good behavior through gratitude is infuriating.
In the clip above, blacks express their outrage at the importation of Latinos and the provision of free shit. One refers to their community as “forgotten” and a belligerent behemoth bemoans their “lack of resources and support.” If I was there, I’d be like: “Yo bitch, look how fat you is. Dey ain’t forget yo EBT, skiddlee bebop do bop.” Honestly, it might be fun to be black at this late stage.
Blacks look at what white people have and conclude that it would be reasonable for them to have it as well, but actually much more due to the retarded childish narcissism. This is how we get a situation like the reparations committee out in San Francisco. Blacks have been a net drain on California since they arrived but, somehow, they’re owed millions and these payouts are feasible. The irony of people whom testing consistently shows can’t do basic math being responsible for the prosperity of a modern economy is completely lost on them. Don’t even bother pointing it out, that would make zero difference.

As far as praising them and claiming they can do no wrong, we’re literally a country where people think that a pregnant white nurse robbing black teenage boys of their bike is a plausible scenario. They’re well aware they can whip out a phone and ruin the life of any white person they choose at any moment. Getting angry and demanding they stop filming you is all it takes.
What all of these measures, ostensibly to help blacks, amount to is the removal of civilizational constraints on a demographic with no native suite of capabilities to establish a civilization themselves. The goal is to destroy what’s left of our civilization, so that its remaining inhabitants will be easier to control. Is this healthy, moral, sustainable, or a tactic that stands a reasonable chance of success?
No, of course not, but neither is the system of usury that enabled the hijacking of something that could’ve worked out really nice. In other words, the entire premise of control is fundamentally unsustainable just like the Bible states. They’re riding a tiger and taking desperate measures to stay mounted as a systemic crisis approaches. Healthy people with a sense of themselves and the notion they have rights living in coherent communities will be a big problem when that day comes.
The facilitation of a black attack on Heritage America has to be understood in the context of global war, carbon footprints, genetic injections, and turning kids into trannies. It’s just one element of a multi-pronged approach to keep us under control. Things are coming to a head for everyone involved and I really wish me, and all the other bad white people, had remote bunker complexes where we could laugh all this off.
When you get pissed off, try to remember that this is not going to last. This could go well or horrifically bad for you personally.
Have a wonderful day.
The post Dey Ain’t Have Ta Kill Dis Boi appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Recently, we attended an affluent white shitlib event and found ourselves seated at a table with a (underage) teenage tranny (demon) wearing a skirt and sporting a bare midriff with a top that was pretty revealing of decent-sized breasts. It got up to use the restroom, and this was our whispered dialogue:
Her: “She has an Adam’s apple, I think she’s actually a man.“
Me: “Yeah, no shit.”
Her: “But the boobs though, how does she have those boobs?“
Me: “You don’t wanna know.“
The other people at the table repeatedly screwed up the pronouns and found themselves apologizing several times. The tranny never skipped a beat. I might actually have gotten a laugh out of dining with a tranny like “Admiral of the Fleet” Rachel Levine but really nobody there was prepared to dine with such a scantily clad young tranny.
A notable feature of white shitlibs is that they’ll endorse whatever is fashionable such as not arresting miscreants, but that doesn’t mean they’re okay with getting their car stolen. I think it was the same thing with that evening. It’s all cool until you’re sitting right next to one and trying to eat. There was an open bar, so that’s how I made it through. Although I like to consider myself a tough guy, I must admit I probably couldn’t have kept munching if it was lunchtime on a Monday.
Anyways, the conversation turned to literature and the demon inquired as to what I was reading. I told it I was a big fan of The Exorcist series so I’d been brushing up on the subject. At this point, I felt a pair of feminine eyes beginning to burn the side of my face. If you’ve read a rant I wrote for ID, it was basically a G-Rated version filtered by our editor of what I’m saying to certain like-minded persons in my real life, so she saw exactly what I was setting up. Nobody else at the table seemed to detect the troll taking place, including the demon.
I guess that goes to show just how crazy you sound to a normal person when you start ranting about Satanism. That’s simply not the context in which they interpret all this outright Satanism inflicted on us and were proud to have themselves injected with his mark. I was really enjoying myself, so I started going on about the concept of Satanic inversion, the Witching Hour, and asked it if it had ever heard of this conspiracy theory wackjobs bring up about the Illuminati. They made a movie called Eyes Wide Shut on the topic.
I brought it up under the false premise that my interest in these matters was based on the film genre. I’m not saying you should lie, but if you’re going to troll someone hardcore, a sacrifice is required. Usually, that’s the truth.
The demon thought it was interesting and didn’t seem to recognize I was talking about it being a demon. I know what its father does, so I’m sure all of its life has been spent in a privileged, comfortable setting where it wouldn’t find itself confronted by blacks or rightwing nutjobs like myself. It has been warped into a child of the devil in an era when this makes it part of a celebrated class around people who’d never not hold the fashionable opinion. Therefore, it can’t comprehend that the crimethinkers are lurking out there in the ether.
I walked away from the table to have a cigarette. The demon followed me and asked for one. I replied politely that it wouldn’t be responsible of me to give a cigarette to a minor and I’d be pissed off if someone gave one to my kid. In reality, I was thinking that smoking was going to be the least of its problems and a panic had suddenly gripped me as a question popped into my head: What if giving a cigarette to a tranny is like inviting a vampire into your house?
The post A Brush with the Devil appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Every time a phrase gets repeated by officials in Washington and the media, even if you know nothing about the subject, this should be the first indication that it’s false. It’s an often-outright inversion of the truth but in the very least an outrageous canard. Seeing as the conflict in Ukraine is the most significant thing since World War 2, it serves as a macabre illustration of this principle.
“One man’s war of choice” / “Unprovoked invasion”The stated goal of long-term U.S. policy in publicly available official discourse is to break up the Russian Federation into controllable entities. Part of this strategy is bringing NATO up to Russia’s borders ahead of the Federation’s scheduled demolition. This is common knowledge, even to the average Russian television viewer, but not in the West, where everyone has been told the expansion is to stop the restoration of the Soviet Union.
Back in 2008, when William Burns (current CIA Director) was our ambassador, he was called into Foreign Minister Lavrov’s office, and asked if he understood the concept of “no” and informed that Ukraine was a red line over which action would be taken. His cable on the meeting was later published by Wikileaks. There’s a reason why Putin receives sky-high domestic approval on his handling of this threat and the broader respect of countries that constitute around 80% of the world’s population.
“Only made incremental gains”If gains are measured purely in kilometers, sure the Russians have only been incremental in their success against a series of massive fortifications and minefields that can’t be blitzkrieged like the U.S. appeared to do in Iraq. This isn’t World War 2. Post-war, the Soviets set up Ukraine so nobody could ever tear through it again on their way to Moscow like the Wehrmacht (if World War 3 broke out).
However, if the metrics are irreplaceable Ukrainian lives and equipment, then Russian gains can be assessed as absolutely catastrophic. The MOD tally as of May 21st: 428 airplanes, 234 helicopters, 4,245 UAVs, 424 AA systems, 9,251 tanks and armored fighting vehicles, 1,100 MRLS, 4,871 artillery pieces, 10,365 special military motor vehicles. Depending on the estimates, these figures might entail 300,000 to 500,000 casualties. It’s difficult to count dead bodies from explosions, and Ukraine refuses to give anything approximating an honest accounting of who’s been lost from their units.
The grim reality is that after Ukraine refused (probably wasn’t allowed) to reach terms at the outset of Phase One before the Russians invested too much to compromise, they adopted a grim strategy of eliminating every soldier Ukraine could muster and blowing up all of their equipment while allowing NATO to deplete its stockpiles. This keeps the suicide operation going until a solution can be imposed once the other two sides have nothing left to offer in terms of conventional combat.
NATO doesn’t have anything close to sufficient military industrial capacity to sustain this war effort, not even a fraction based on what could be produced per month versus what’s required. After these finite resources are exhausted, the situation will collapse and then the comprehensive territorial acquisitions to resolve Russian political and security objectives will happen along with other measures the Ukrainians won’t find agreeable.
The best place to conduct this slaughter is in Donbass, where Russia owns the skies and its troops can be easily rotated and supplied. It makes no sense to waste Russian soldiers by the tens of thousands (perhaps more) punching through a fun house to make direct contact further to the west with extended, vulnerable supply lines where they’d take even more losses. It’s much better to let the Ukrainians come east for suicide.
It’s been designated an SMO (Special Military Operation) for a reason. They’re trying to minimize the losses of Russian personnel, not sacrifice them in a pointless narrative war with the West, which would never admit the truth anyway. Regular Russian forces generally don’t even storm urban areas. That’s done by the PMCs, Chechen volunteers, and the militias.

As it turns out, he did the ice-cold calculations before this ever started.“Counteroffensives” What you’ll never see on television is that these operations are deliberately allowed by the Russians as part of this strategy of eliminating the entire Ukrainian military and everything NATO can send. As stated above, it’s much easier and safer to do this in Donbass rather than trying to locate units scattered over the vast western expanses of Ukraine because the logistical network has been knocked out.
The winter strikes against the electrical grid that didn’t cripple it were meant to drain irreplaceable interceptor missiles, as two are fired per intercept attempt. It’s now obvious why much of the Ukrainian logistical network is still in place despite their ability to take it all down from the start: the Russians want Ukraine accumulating men and material for missile and drone strikes to the west, and also moved into the east to get blown up by airstrikes and artillery.
A lot of this stuff only becomes clear in hindsight to outside observers because the Russian General Staff would never be stupid enough to disclose its plans. Putin’s initial statement on the morning the tanks got rolling was that his objective was to “de-militarize” Ukraine, but what that meant wasn’t clear at the time. As it turns out, “de-militarize” is a very sanitary term for this process of wholesale, indirectly-facilitated destruction described above.
As forces are assembled ahead of the much-hyped third counteroffensive, the Russians have been striking these concentrations with massive missile and drone barrages. In other words, why blow up the trains before the other side can pack them full of men and material? They’re essential to moving large amounts of both for long distances. If this grim logic is applied, the paradoxes marketed as evidence of Russian failure starts making sense. They don’t want to paralyze the Ukrainian military for a guerrilla war, that would be counterproductive.
The Ukrainians have accumulated billions worth of NATO munitions and equipment in massive stockpiles to the far west ahead of this counteroffensive. A series of missile strikes have produced the largest explosions of the war. It’s clear Russia knew this all along and waited to let them get packed full, before blowing everything to hell. Some of these recent explosions register on the Richter Scale.
The idea that NATO could accumulate massive stockpiles in Ukraine while keeping them a secret from Russia is ludicrous. There were probably human eyes watching all these logistical operations up close. Likely, the strikes were launched when the Russians concluded everything had been accumulated to begin sending east to smaller depots for distribution in combat.
Probably depleted Uranium in this cloud. Britain sent those rounds to help the people of Ukraine. 100-foot-deep crater, much more efficient than blowing up a bunch of garages full of this stuff.“Russian Retreat”What happened in the past two counteroffensives is that the Russians ceded ground in order to avoid taking heavy casualties fighting in direct contact with the Ukrainians, whose lives were earmarked to be sacrificed for this purpose. The Ukrainians gained ground but at the expense of having their forces decimated as they advanced in great numbers into Russian artillery.
This is how one-sided slaughters take place, not by plucky Ukrainians mowing down Russian orcs. Publicly, the U.S. military believes otherwise and goes with whatever figures Ukraine fabricates out of thin air. That’s how you get American officials citing these demented numbers asserting that Russians are dying in droves despite have tremendous firepower advantages.
“Failed Siege of Kiev”This is probably the most pernicious piece of evidence I’ve seen cited for the past year, because it really helps sell the others. During Phase One, keeping Ukrainian units (greatly outnumbered what the Russians sent in) stuck was critical as the Russians stormed Mariupol and secured a land bridge between Crimea and the new republics.
The force parked outside Kiev put political pressure on the government, but it was there mainly to keep Kiev’s massive garrison in place. It never attempted to enter or invest Kiev. Storming a city of this size could involve millions of deaths and far more troops than Russia has committed to the entire SMO.
So many would be required that war would first need to be declared for a general mobilization. Something on this scale hasn’t even been attempted since World War 2. After Phase One wrapped up, the Russians dispersed. It was nothing more than a feint.
“Putin has already Lost”This is the triumphal centerpiece of an official narrative shift, with the caveats that since he’s already lost, he’ll have to cut a deal not to come any further in order to save his own skin by ending the conflict. The official discourse aims to declare victory despite not delivering the full Russian defeat everyone was first promised. This is done by asserting that since Donbass and Crimea were already in dispute before his unprovoked invasion, NATO’s efforts to preserve Ukrainian freedom have been a success.
As far as negotiations are concerned, the Russians have made it clear that NATO can’t be trusted to follow agreements, as it has repeatedly broken them with malicious intent. Their official position on Ukraine is that it’s merely a puppet of NATO, so they’re not going to negotiate with Zelensky, either. What might happen is that some sort of one-sided agreement is imposed on the Ukrainian government while NATO squawks and tries to adjust the narrative for a fourth time from the sidelines.
A Recap The first narrative was that Putin launched an unprovoked invasion using comically incompetent, cowardly forces equipped with junk who’d run out of munitions in literally a matter of days as the Ukrainians conducted a 10 to 1 turkey shoot. Following Ukrainian victory over all its territories, he’d be overthrown as Russia’s economy collapsed. We were told to expect all of this to unfold essentially overnight.
The second narrative basically just adjusted the first but admitted this would take longer while citing the successful defense of Kiev, two counteroffensives, and Russia’s incremental gains as proof Ukrainian victory would materialize while things dragged on for over a year.
The third narrative is now saying that Putin has officially lost and that an end will be negotiated after Ukraine’s incoming counteroffensive, but that victory for NATO won’t include Crimea and Donbass, which is fine because Ukraine didn’t begin fighting off this unprovoked invasion in possession of these territories anyways.
This is why the phrase “full-scale invasion” has been employed consistently by NATO from the start. What does this mean in objective terms? Nobody really knows, but what they’re trying to convey is that Russia has used up everything it could possibly throw into the fight. Meanwhile, it’s been fulfilling major weapons export contracts the whole time while quadrupling military production for 2023. That’s the simple formula for making inferences about these catchphrases, which are merely tools for selling even bigger lies.

Accountability The fourth narrative is going to be a real yarn to spin. I think we can be confident that it will focus on the massive casualties we inflicted on the Russians and how we saved the rest of Europe because Russia has taken such losses it can never try this again. The rest of the next round of nonsense would have to respond to what Russia specifically does to wrap things up, so it’s hard to predict.
It does seem probable that some of the other canards will have worn themselves out. After all, nobody says we fought the terrorists over there, so we didn’t have to fight them over here anymore. That’s retarded and it couldn’t stand the test of time. That should also be the case with Russia running out of munitions and equipment.
What we can also safely infer is that in light of all the other lies Americans believed about misadventures that ended in disaster since the end of the Cold War, most will believe the official take on Ukraine as well. That’s the nature of these average people. Through some combination of ignorance, gullibility, and a desire to believe we’re the good guys, they’ll continue to be conned right up until the end.
In terms of domestic accountability for the evil parasites who caused this slaughter and their functionaries, like Gen. Petraeus or McFaul, I’m pretty sure they’ll never even be blamed for anything or punished until the hereafter. Nobody important is even going to come out and say that we shouldn’t have given this a try in the first place.
For years, NATO countries feared that the expansion of NATO to Ukraine would trigger Putin. But Putin invaded Ukraine anyway. So after the war is over, is there a reason to not invite Ukraine to join NATO? Your thoughts?

I’ve never been a writer who attributes much causality in terms of specific problems to specific demographics. However, we’re living under a government and media apparatus which operates under a guiding philosophy that all problems, in the literal sense of this phrase, are directly attributable to a single demographic. The term for this principle, by which ultimate blame for any particular problem can be diagnosed as soon as it arises, is White Supremacy.
The premise is almost theological in its nature. White Supremacy is embodied by White people, whereas all ignorance, ill-sentiment, and poor outcomes are pervaded by their spiritual corruption. Initially, it can strike one as odd, but America is a nation where blame isn’t something that’s actually tangible.

Likewise, as death and illness proliferate from blood transfusions, we can be assured that White Supremacy is a public health crisis. This has already been declared in official proclamations by municipalities such as Chicago. Attributing diseases spread through unspeakable perversions to the spirit of our corruption works perfectly well under the premise it also propels bullets across the distance between a black gun and a black cranium. I’ve never laid eyes on its metaphysical specter, but I suspect it’s clad in black robes and carries a scythe.
It’s fair and reasonable to suspect that sooner or later, they’ll come up with a method for winning class-action judgments against Heritage America in general for specific categories of misbehavior (remember, they can’t be guilty of crimes anymore) done by black people that are making black communities unpleasant. That’s the legal logic at play these days, and these days are nothing if not escalatory.
Sure, it sounds downright unreasonable to a constitutional conservative living under a rock, but not really in the context of the people with white skin who contrived this lunacy. To them, reality is subjective, and the Earth is there for them to “heal” (don’t get me started on what that really means) utilizing everyone else (you and everybody you love), who happens to be lacking in souls and deserve nothing better than however they decide to utilize us. A core tenant of American causality is that it can never be attributed to them in terms of a problem.
So, when it comes to problems, these white-skinned people don’t exist unless someone else is making a problem for them. Remember, this is a subjective reality. Causing a problem for these people might entail another group of people trying to solve a problem for themselves, which these blameless people would also agree to be a problem for themselves if it was being done to them. It’s complicated to the average idiot, but no more than why White Supremacy gets a rap concert sprayed with lead by a black cretin who will upload videos to YouTube rapping about his proclivity for this behavior.

There’s no way to manage the insanity they’re putting us through. When things go wrong, the average idiot tends to direct his anger towards the ostensible nexus of power, which is why the most successful tactic for blameless people is to stay behind the scenes pulling strings, blackmailing, and bribing everyone. For instance, the average idiot thinks Woodrow Wilson defeated the baby-killing Kaiser and FDR thwarted Hitler and Hirohito’s plan to conquer the world, meanwhile he has no idea who Bernard Baruch was or why Nagasaki was chosen as a target for an atom bombing that never needed to happen.
When they go mask-off and roll up their sleeves to do the front-facing jobs themselves, that’s when things tend to go really wrong for them and eventually right for everybody else (while it lasts), not that they can appreciate the distinction. That’s what happened in Russia, where they basically were dealt with through an internal shift of power that kept the communism they had imposed on the previously hapless inhabitants. Likewise in Poland and Hungary and other cases, but I’m not writing a treatise on history. I’m just another disgruntled White man with a keyboard.
It’s rather weird because they seem to see the ongoing process that they initiated and keep driving along, and as it gets further along, they freak out with growing intensity thus speeding the process up. Meanwhile, they should slow down and chill out because the amount of shit the average idiot is willing to put up with can pile quite high before he grabs a pitchfork and lights a torch.

Those who have done their research on Abraham Lincoln and his socialist proclivities realize he has been embraced by socialists, communists, and other left-wing types. This is common knowledge among many people. What is not always common knowledge, though, is that Lincoln, with all his socialist connections, is somehow still an icon of the Right. That fact displays the large probability that those on the Right have been taught bad history and had their historical understanding tampered with, which weakens their position.
Lincoln’s love affair with the Left has been noted in an article on February 20th of this year on Jacobin, which noted that Abraham Lincoln is a hero of the Left. The article states: “From Karl Marx to Eugene Debs to 1930s American Communists, leftists have regarded Lincoln as a pro-labor hero who played a crucial role in vanquishing chattel slavery. We should celebrate him today as part of the great radical democratic tradition.” If what this writer says is true, then Lincoln would have loved China Joe Biden and what he is doing to the country now.
The writer does not claim Lincoln was a socialist, but nonetheless, he grasped the “general concept” of socialism: the primacy of labor over capital and of liberty over property. The article continued: “Proclaiming ‘Communism is 20th century Americanism’ leaders increasingly paired Lincoln with black abolitionists including Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, and Sojurner Truth…” If only those people had been aware of Lincoln’s racist turn of mind, they might have taken a different tack. Their “hero” would probably have balked at being placed in the company of black abolitionists.
In actuality, Abraham Lincoln never freed a single slave. His “Emancipation Proclamation” only applied to slaves in the Confederate States and it left slaves in slave-states still in the Union in bondage. There were five slave-states in the Union, including West Virginia, that the proclamation did not apply to. The slaves in those states were technically not freed until the passage of the 13th Amendment, which came months after Lincoln departed this mortal coil. So, Lincoln was not really opposed to slavery – unless it was Confederate slavery. He was okay with Union slavery. All the hype about him being the “Great Emancipator” is something we could label as “specious humbug.”
Most on the Left, and many on the Right, don’t like to hear the truth about Lincoln. In an article on Abbeville Institute by Dr. Boyd Cathey, he observed: “Since then (1981) criticism of Lincoln is not acceptable, not tolerated by mainstream conservatives. Instead the conservative establishment now heralds such neo-Reconstructionist historians as Allen Guelzo or even Marxist Eric Foner (a favorite of Karl Rove). Any dissent from the virtual cannonization of Lincoln with contemporary American society comes from mostly Southern traditionalists and their allies…”
Dr. Cathey is right. When I wrote for the old National Educatornewspaper back in the 1980s and 1990s, I did a series of articles on Lincoln and his socialist connections. The people that complained the loudest were patriotic conservatives who were ticked off at my telling the truth about their patron political saint. They didn’t want to be exposed to the blemishes of their “conservative” hero! They refused to be confronted with the facts! Many staunch conservatives today still think today he actually freed the slaves!
In an article by Claude S. Fischer, it was noted that, “During just one term (plus 45 days) Lincoln managed to do the following, socialist-communist acts: taxed the wealth creators…exploded deficit spending…led a federal takeover of currency and banks…forced people to work for the federal government…indulged in government giveaways to special interests…expropriated private property for redistribution…”
Joe Biden would have loved him, except for his party label. But, you have to remember that in the mid-1800s the Republicans were socialists, and the Democrats were conservatives. Today, both parties are socialist–Council on Foreign Relations socialists!

Viewed as a microcosm of Manifest Destiny beyond the confines of the geographical limits of the continental United States, the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands by the US in the late 19th century marked the beginning of what we now consider the global American Empire. To the Hawaiian peoples, it was a clearly just as if not moreso a historic moment, albeit done for reasons of pragmatic acceptance of their minor power relationship in an ocean surrounded by much larger political and economic forces. The Hawaiian Islands, given their incredible strategic military location in the middle of the Pacific, would inevitably come under the sway of one of the surrounding powers. It was almost always less a question of if, but rather a question of when – and how.

Have you ever wondered why you are here, why you would be reading a blog dedicated to dissident thought? If I would guess, it’s likely the same reason the contributors write for this this blog, too. You have a restlessness in your soul, a need to see wrongs righted, an obligation to have the truth known, and you still have a sense of honor. Instead of just melding into the ethos of modernity, never questioning the status quo, something itches at you. And here you find solace, a place for your conscience to get a comforting scratch.
Recently, I was privileged to be invited to contribute to a project, one which turned out to be a fantastic book. Many of you have already bought and read The Honorable Cause: A Free South, and I’d personally like to thank you. I honestly thought the book would be a disjointed collection of essays and off focus, since the writers randomly picked the subjects for their essays. Basically, we all got to scratch our own itches, but the final product did much more. For myself, it scratched a lot of itches.
From start to finish, the book just flows. James Edwards‘ opening essay tugs at the heart of every true Southerner, with recollections and quotes that, honestly, had me misty eyed. Mrs. O’Hara had me remembering my grandmother’s and aunt’s kitchens, and longing for the smells and tastes from the recipes they were more than happy to pass down to the next generations. But just between us, none of the wonderful ladies in my family can capture the perfection of the biscuits those two matriarchs created. Harry Bluff, with the precision of an English barrister, laid plain our argument for a Free Dixie, and from our most perfect sources of truth. Neil Kumar, a young man whose career we should all follow going forward, picked up a stone and threw it at the glass fallacy that White Nationalists and Southern Nationalists view the world through the same window. My essay comes next, a pallet cleanser of mythical fiction, a break from the academic, allowing the reader to recline and take another sip of whiskey (or sweet tea) before being engrossed in the ideological and practical challenges to come.
Launching back into the red meat of the book, Jude Ruffin arrests our souls again, reminding the reader that true Dixie has always had a remnant, and though our foes have tried their damnedest, we are still here and still distinct. Dr. Hill, as he has done for decades, articulates the organic nature of our people, our natural fraternity and paternity, one not limited to mere ideology nor philosophy, but that which defines us down to our very genetic memories. Anne Wilson Smith invokes a remembrance of what “nation” means, and what we are as Southerners and that we shall always be such, even as this American Empire collapses. Mr. Dirtwater, in his own Tidewater aristocratic and genteel way, compels us into recollections of our better ancestors, that we are more than a McDonald’s Happy Meal, or a Netflix binge watch, for we are Southerners, and we must carry ourselves accordingly. Harmonica uses his unique style of exhaustive investigational research to expose the enemies of a Free South, and revealing the hidden jealousies of our inferiors, especially the antifa cretins. In what I found to be a fluid disposition, Rebecca Dillingham makes the argument, and I would agree on principle, that the South has been crippled by our denominational diversity. Although I do not agree with her conclusion that Orthodoxy is the cure, myself being more in favor of a blend of Southern Presbyterian theology and Anglican liturgy (I attend such a church); I absolutely agree that stability in the churches of the South must be addressed.
The last scratch to the constant itch that many reading Identity Dixie long for is in the last essay. Padraig Martin gives a vision for practical secession. As a movement, we must be big, yet small, anti-fragile with many organizations, all working toward a single goal. Having known him for years and discussed these ideas many times, I believe his conclusions are workable avenues to Southern freedom. Of course, for a more detailed account of these ideas, I would encourage everyone to buy, read, and then pass the book to others within your sphere.
My writing for ID has been defined by the editors as “evergreen,” and I would like to think that compliment defines my work as timeless. Below is an edited poem I wrote years ago, long before any of this started, but I believe it speaks to the subject of the article, the restlessness of our souls, and why we long, hope, and work for a better tomorrow for our people.
“The Restless Soul”An open door
to walk right through,
The swung-wide gate
you never knew.
Locked in caution,
to all you thought.
An untraceable pathway,
you never sought.
In blinding rain
are storm swept tears.
Where the here to now,
move timid fears.
The cautious ride,
would move the walk.
In shadow an image,
would blanket, stalk.
A peaceful way,
the straightest, for sure.
Yet, the turbulent road
feels the cure.
The restless soul
all would have tamed,
but that’s no path,
for history’s fame.

T.L. Hulsey is a retired computer programmer living in Mexico. He is the author of about a dozen books on subjects including political science, biography, translation, drama, and fiction. Hulsey attended, for two years each, the Catholic institutions of the University of Dallas in Texas and Fordham University in New York, majoring in economics and philosophy; however, he holds no degree. He blogs occasionally at LewRockwell.com but more recently at the Abbeville Institute.
The self-taught scholar’s latest work, “The Constitution of Non-State Government: Field Guide to Texas Secession,” released in November 2022 by Shotwell Publishing, has received praise from scholars including Drs. David Gordon, Clyde Wilson, Donald Livingston, Walter Block, and David R. Upham. You can purchase the ebook at Shotwell, and the paperback through the Mises Institute Bookstore and Amazon.
Hulsey explains kleristocracy and sortive democracy, how subjective theory of value can be used in symbiotic governance, the folly of universal values like equality, Americans’ fetish for representation a
nd fairness, why Texas is the right place for a decentralist order to be established, practical answers to common complaints against non-state polities, and more. It’s a conversation that’s part philosophy and part history, but one that leads to Hulsey’s “field guide” of cogent ideas and practical actions, revealing just how a peaceful political and cultural solution between people with intractable differences can be attained.

In my last article, I initiated a conversation on the hard choices that will have to be made to achieve a Christian nation. To most of you reading this article, the implementation of Christian-based laws, economic systems, and religious adherence incentives will seem draconian, even oppressive. However, your grandfathers would have known them to be normal, part of their everyday experiences.
As discussed, the United States is consumed with many public sins. These transgressions rip at the fabric of our society – dare I say, they poison the soul of what used to be a coherent country, and by the grace of God, outlawed at the time of my birth. Abortion, sodomy, public displays of transsexualism, the ability to access graphic pornography in any form, etc., were forbidden. Additionally, those participating in such vices would be jailed. There were Sabbath laws, or what we called in the South: “Blue Laws.” Under these laws, only the smallest number of businesses were to be opened on Sunday, and only for public necessity. Usually, they were confined to a few fillin’ stations, and a limited amount of restaurants for travelers. By statute, these Blue Laws allowed for both Christians and non-Christians to slow down from the fast-paced modern life.
Identity Dixie has been publishing articles, creating memes, and trolling our enemies with this simple propaganda statement since its inception: “Retake Everything!” I have to admit, it got me disowned by some very “nice” people, many of whom are only now recognizing the peril of real persecution the Church now faces, along with the devastation of our way of life. That is, unless we become Southern, Christian, and adamant for our children, our people, and Our Lord.
So, where are the best chances for this Reconquista to be accomplished, and which group of people, demographically, are capable of making the greatest advances, and the quickest? This is a major point of contention in the Evangelical world. Just ask Stephen Wolfe, author of The Case for Christian Nationalism, if quoting simple facts and dispassionately presenting statics won’t evoke an all-out firestorm of vitriol by many in our churches. He recently tweeted out the raw numbers of which groups of people stood for (or against) some of the issues we have discussed. By all measurable statistics, it is White Evangelicals that resist godless behavior in our society the most.
With that in mind, the South is the natural place to build Fortress Christendom, and well into the next millennium. The reason being: Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, and Oklahoma have populations of about 50% White Evangelicals, and the rest of the South reach numbers between 30-45%, save Louisiana and Florida, which are about 25%. Although, those states have large White Roman Catholic populations that would rise, if divinely motivated. These percentages were from 2019, and since then, places like Tennessee, Florida, and Texas have had an influx of large groups of Californian Evangelicals. No other states have concentrations of ready-made advocates for the kingdom of Christ.
So, it is the Southern churches where we make our stand. We will change the laws we live under to reflect, as best we can, the clearest teachings of the Gospel, not trying to remake ancient Israel, but forge a nation marching compassionately and justly heavenward. Among these goals, but not limited to, men will be free to choose whom they associate, all men will work to provide for their families, those that are poor will be given a leg up (not a hand out), banking laws will be changed to outlaw usury, we will have sound money and that money will be used for the betterment of our people, our borders will be secured and we will defend them vigorously, and, finally, we will seek a peaceful coexistence among all nations, especially those that extoll Christ as King!
It won’t be easy, because in our world nothing is taboo, everything goes, there are no limits to the evil for which men can and will do, and the wicked will defend their blasphemy to the bitter end. Now, the question Christian Nationalists must ask themselves is this: “Am I resolute enough to understand that what we are facing is an all-out struggle – it is social, religious, economic, mental, and physical. Am I committed to a Free Dixie and ultimate victory, or martyrdom?”
I think you will rise to the challenge.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

Most people probably don’t spend much time hung up on eschatological questions. However, if they haven’t already this would be a pretty appropriate juncture. Statistically, it would appear people are concerning themselves with them less than ever in American history and yet there’s also a great deal of pessimism pertaining to the question of whether or not our troubles are terminal.
It strikes me as a bizarre paradox, but then again I’m a “white supremacist, right wing conspiracy theorist, domestic extremist, Christian fundamentalist.” They’re the “normal” ones, whatever that means these days. Still, everybody likes movies, so I’d recommended they watch Hellraiser (I and II, the rest were awful). I thought both were great, but I’m also a connoisseur of 80s movies. There’s also a remake I haven’t bothered watching.
“Go to Hell” – Kirsty “We can’t, not alone” – CenobiteWhether they’re into this genre or not, the purpose of watching is to get them thinking. The premise is that there’s a group of demons who will take you to Hell for unbearable torture if you open this puzzle box to summon them. The demons themselves used to be humans who were warped by their traumatic experiences and now sport the evidence of their own torture. They can’t even remember back when they were healthy dwellers of the Earth.
The underlying theme is that evil doesn’t procreate, it merely warps what is good. Tolkien had a similar theme on the origins of the orcs in The Lord of the Rings. He was an academic expert on Christian theology and Norse culture. It’s long been known that this is the nature of evil and that these identities being marketed to us now as organic are essentially the products of torture.
“But this is what you wanted, what you wanted to see…. It wanted souls, and I brought you.”The plot was the product of the mind of a homosexual, Clive Barker. Here’s an interesting quote: “Being gay does provide an interesting tension,” Barker says. “Part of me wants to say that I am just a regular guy, but another part of me says that there is a gay sensibility. This isn’t just about acts performed in the bedroom – it alters your point of view, your aesthetic.”
If you’ve ever seen the movie American Psycho, it was also the product a homosexual. It’s based on a novel by Bret Easton Ellis, and it’ll probably be the most disturbing one you ever read. Although the protagonist is a heterosexual who despises a homosexual in his firm, the stuff in there is so extreme it could never be put it in a movie (even today).
A straight man couldn’t come up with a scene like this.Anyways, back to Hellraiser. I’d challenge anyone to screen the two films mentioned above and then claim that this is not exactly the premise of what they’re doing to the youth of this nation with the tranny stuff. I recently came across a story about how they’re trying to produce babies with trannies. It’s right out of a horror movie:
The Wellcome Trust, a private non-profit openly aligned with the Clinton Foundation and a regular participant in the Clinton Global Initiative, funded a study to determine if a donated cadaver uterus can be surgically transplanted into the body of a biological male.
Maybe you already heard of this, the study was published back in 2018. These people have cooked up a Hell-on-Earth scenario. As far as I know, the first person to openly attempt this was Magnus Hirschfeld who was himself a homosexual. Hitler took great issue with that and other aspects of his background, but what inspired action was the children-into-trannies thing. It’s outright evil.
This evil goes back thousands of years, to the point one can pretty reliably document that these creatures are harbingers of doom. That’s the next thing on the timeline for much of the population after they pop up. They’re fundamentally Satanic and one doesn’t need to read the Bible to figure that out. After one does, it’s going to be a very enlightening source of information on these matters. Right and wrong are crystal clear these days. I suppose that’s the bright side of things.
Should one survive, my suspicion is that “tumultuous” will be the adjective for what’s coming, while “we should’ve seen it coming” will be the apt phrase to describe our current miasma. Or, maybe I’ll end up retiring to a golf course after all. We can’t see the future, so have a wonderful day and enjoy a cold Bud Light.
Pretty dark, maybe don’t watch. The post Raising Hell Here on Earth appeared first on Identity Dixie.
The Decline of the West by Oswald Spengler is considered by many to be an excellent book. But I take it a step further—I consider it a necessity for any true dissident.
It was one of the first that truly showed the spiritual decay of physical systems (civilization). And because of that, it is required reading in my opinion.
I have been skimming parts of it lately, and came upon an interesting quote that really points to rationalism issue I have been hammering on about recently:
Here is the relevant quote:
“The philosophy of this book I owe to the philosophy of Goethe, which is practically unknown today, and also (but in a far less degree) to that of Nietzsche.
[…]
His place vis-a-vis Kant is the same as that of Plato—who similarly eludes the would-be systematizer—vis a vis Artistotle. Plato and Goethe stand for the philosophy of Becoming, Aristotle and Kant the philosophy of Being. Here we have intuition opposed to analysis.
[…]
Goethe: “The God-head is effective in the living and not in the dead, in the becoming and the changing, not in the become and set-fast; and therefore, similarly, the reason is concerned only to strive towards the divine through the becoming and the living, and the understanding only to make use of the become and the set-fast.”
If you have not yet studied the “being” versus “becoming” philosophical question, now is the time. Give it a search and do a quick review.
There are two specific terms Oswald Spengler uses: “Civilization” and “Culture”. These two words mean peculiar things to Oswald that differ from our modern usage. Consider them as the following: Civilization is the “being” (thing-become). Culture is the “becoming”.
In short, what he is getting at is this:
Oswald uses three examples: Rousseau, Socrates, and Buddha. Each of these figures is representative of when a culture turned into a civilization, because each of these figures largely eviscerated (through their movements) centuries of spiritual growth and development by instead presenting every single thing in physicalist, intellectual terms.
What this means is that the culture had finally “become”; it was done becoming. From this point on it would only be decline. Which is accurate, especially with Enlightenment thinkers like Rousseau who lead us to where we are now in clown world.
It is not that these individuals were bad, but that they were pivotal instruments in the transition of culture to its lower form. The intellect and fragile human rationalism now superseded spiritual and cultural intuition.
It is no surprise that now we are in our own decline and worship thinkers like them once again.
As they say: “The intellect comes to rule once the soul has abdicated.”
I see no soul here in the West anymore. It’s all scientism and “experts“. The logical conclusion of the fragile human intellect.
Through Oswald’s work, we once again see that the spirit is higher than the physical. It is more important.
We know the decline is in progress when the physical (rationalism, intellect) rules over the spirit.
This is as true for civilizations as it is for nation-states as it is for humans. All of which are higher-conscious living organisms, which is why they all share the same cycle.
When humans lose the Spirit, they often become hyper-rational. Everything is material and data, which leads them to absolute insane conclusions that I have documented extensively before. It is because the intellect is the lower form. The civilization and nation-states do the same exact thing once they become “Civilizations” according to Oswald’s definition.
Once this system and civilization crashes, do your part to return the spirit. Put down the rationalism and constant secular materialism, and pick up the sword of the spirit. Stop philosophizing everything.
Do this so we may escape the common prejudice of today and return to the higher form of tradition.

Author’s Note: This is the fourth part in a multi-part series in which I critique the rise of paganism within certain Dissident Right circles, listing the major reasons why I think paganism is a dead end for the Right and that it will only end in disaster.
One of the positive (as opposed to simply antisemitic) arguments the “Pagan Right” gives to support their beliefs is that, by becoming pagan, they are returning to the religion of their forefathers – thus, “honoring their ancestors.” The crux of this argument is that by returning to the old European gods, modern White men can recreate a connection between the ancient past and the current present, one that was severed by a foreign religion like Christianity. In keeping with the running theme of this series, I feel that this argument also misses the mark.
Conquered GodsIn order to understand classical paganism, one must acknowledge this simple concept – the pagan world was a place of “might makes right.” What this meant is that pagan people, when conquered, would often adopt the gods of their conquerors, as conquest was considered proof that the foreign god was, in fact, stronger. In ancient Mesopotamia, the gods would meet at the beginning of each year and decide which cities would be flooded that year. Two points are important in understanding the importance of this: 1) the Tigris and Euphrates flood randomly, meaning that any kind of precautions are very difficult to make, and 2) each city had its own god that it primarily worshiped. What this meant is that the cities with the weaker gods were flooded and those with stronger gods were not. This made it far easier for pagan people, in the long run, to accept gods that were foreign, as these gods had proven themselves to be “stronger.” This is important to understand as it means the gods that are supposedly “native” to a pagan people were typically foreign, as they were the gods of a more powerful tribe/people. There is a reason why pagan Europeans converted as they did, the Christian God proved to be more powerful than their own gods. Hence why Saint Boniface cut down Donar’s Oak. He understood that the tree had a tremendous amount of importance to the pagan Germans, and by cutting it down he could reveal the weakness of their pagan gods. In turn, this made it easier to convert the Germans. This basic concept had already happened in other contexts, the pagans had converted countless times before, and they converted each time they were conquered. “Native” European pagan religions are not deities of your ancestors, but rather their conquerors’ gods.
Which Ancestors?The concept of “honoring my ancestors” raises questions as to which ancestors we are actually talking about. I have many ancestors, but I think I owe more to those I genuinely know about, those I can tell you where they were born, who they married, what they did with their lives, and so on. I owe these ancestors more than my predecessors from over 1,500 years ago. To be frank, I know very little, if anything, about those people, other than reading from the pages of history, and neither do modern pagans. I am beholden to my grandfather; God rest his soul. He was a man who taught me to work with tools and helped instill in me my core values. My great-grandfather died before I was born, but I can tell you much about him, as he made a huge impact on my father. They were both Southern men, and their stories of an unvanquished Dixie, a Dixie that fought bravely to resist Reconstruction, helped bring me to my current political outlook. They made a positive impact on my life in ways I cannot fully comprehend. I can still remember when the Iraq War started, my grandfather was worried sick that, upon turning 18, I would join the military trying to do what he did. I can still remember listening to his World War II stories and wonder if it was his prayers that convinced me not to join. And both men deeply disapproved of heathenry, believing it as both stupid and damnable. If I am going to “honor my ancestors,” why should I side with a bunch of nameless people from Germania instead of my Christian ancestors? The men I know would be distraught by my embrace of paganism, why should I fail to honor them?
Paganism and Dixie?Though I still dislike it, I will admit that the concept of a “Pagan Right” makes more sense in a context of Greek or Norwegian Nationalism (as they were once pagans). Now, there is still the problem I outlined above, aligning with unknown and obscure ancestors from a thousand years ago over your Christian grandparents. But, at least a Greek or Norwegian pagan can truthfully say that they were once pagans. I cannot. I am a Southerner, and Southerners were never pagans. From the very beginnings of the Southern nation, Jamestown in 1607 and Charleston in 1620, Dixie was always Christian. Of course, the South has changed over time. Although a minority today, the Colonial South was actually Anglican dominated. The Evangelical churches that now command Dixie were much slower to develop; even as recently as the early 1900s, Methodists had the upper hand. It was not until the 20th century, and especially after World War II, that the Baptists really began to take over Dixie. There has also been a long-standing Catholic presence, especially along the Gulf Coast and in Maryland. The nature of Christianity may have gradually changed in the South, and Dixie cannot claim to have a single religious identity, like Spain (Catholicism) or Russia (Orthodoxy). However, the South was never pagan. Because I am a Southerner, paganism is every bit as foreign to me as Islam or Buddhism. To try and “rebuild” paganism in Dixie would not be a renovation at all, but the imposition of a foreign religion and one that would completely change the very character of the Southland. Just as an Islamic Dixie would cease to be Dixie, so would a pagan Dixie.
Why Odin?There are many different “schools” of paganism, but by far the most popular is Odinism, the attempted revival of pagan Norse mythology. The rationale behind this is pretty easy to figure out, the “Pagan Right” overlaps quite a bit with the cringier and LARPer bits of National Socialism; and since there is a heavy emphasis on Nordic traits within National Socialism, it makes sense that they would gravitate toward the religion of the ancient Nordics. This is why there tends to be so much emphasis on heavily mythicized Viking iconography. Coming from actual Scandinavians this is still ridiculous, but it is even more hilarious when it comes from someone with minimal, if any, Nordic blood. To me, it also raises an interesting question as to why I would want to honor my Odin-worshipping ancestors. As stated before, I am a Southerner, and Southerners were never pagan. But even if I could be convinced to drop that identity and focus purely on race, Odinism would still have some unique problems. Racially, I am Anglo-Celtic, and the actual Vikings, not a bunch of out-of-shape cosplayers, raided and burned down Anglo-Celtic villages throughout the Viking Age. They raped Anglo-Celtic women. If we really are going with the “honoring my ancestors” bit, why should I admire people who pillaged my villages and raped my women? Even if we were to ignore my status as a racial Anglo-Celtic and focus on a broader White identity, we would still have this same problem, as the Vikings did much of the same throughout Europe. Unless you are actually Scandinavian, you are not “honoring your ancestors” by worshiping Odin; instead, you’re worshipping the god of men that ransacked a poor village in England.
Christianity Does not Require You to Hate Your AncestorsChristianity did not, as Islam did, declare everything that came before it as an “Era of Ignorance.” Christianity did not declare what the pagans created as evil simply because the pagans made it. Rather, it took care to review what was wicked about a particular pagan culture; in turn, Christians jettisoned what was sinful and other elements that were not evil could remain. Christianity met the Greco-Roman world by making ample use of its philosophical and legal traditions and did so from the very beginning. The writings of Saint Paul demonstrate a mind that was deeply familiar with the Greek philosophic tradition. This same process would later continue when the Germanic pagans were converted. In a hypothetical world where China is converted in 200-300 years from now, this same process will likely play out again. A complete rejection of thousands of years of Chinese culture and history will not occur, instead those elements that are evil will be rejected while other components will remain – incorporated into a Christianized China. When your ancestors converted, they were not asked to turn their backs on everything that had come before them. Yes, certain parts of their culture had to be eliminated, but this was not true for every aspect of their old pagan culture. What remained were the best parts of that culture, be it Greco-Roman, Germanic, or, God willing in the future, Chinese. What remained of the old culture was its best parts. The emphasis on an anti-nationalist form of Christianity, particularly since 1945, has tended to obscure this trend. However, the fact is, Christianity does allow for national distinctions to remain within certain limits.
The Pagans ConvertedThe “Pagan Right” misunderstands why the pagans converted in the first place, and their explanations are frequently contradictory with their overall project. It was not that they were bribed nor were they forced by Christian warlords. Rather, it was because their pagan worldview was shattered, and Christianity offered something they could believe in again. Contra Edward Gibbon, the Roman Empire had lost its civic virtue well before the rise of Christianity. Long-term decadence had already set in, and they had stopped having any real belief in their old Roman gods. The Roman Empire, on the eve of Constantine, was functionally atheistic. Christianity did not end a rational era, the age of Greco-Roman advancement was long over, it gave them something new they could believe in. This same process would repeat itself when the Germanic pagans were converted. Your pagan ancestors were not weak when they became Christian, far from it. They became Christian because they saw its truths. Far from ending the glories of Rome, Christianity was instrumental in keeping it going and helped birth two empires – the Frankish and Byzantine – which would prove decisive in curtailing the Islamization of Europe. The pagan Europeans understood this and were grateful, creating another factor that led to their Christianization. The best way to honor your pagan ancestors is to do as they did, convert.
“Neo-pagans have sometimes forgotten, when they set out to do everything that the old pagans did, that the final thing the old pagans did was to get christened.”
G.K. Chesterton
For Whites, our ancestors, at least the ones who have made an important impact on our lives, were Christians. It is them we should honor, and not by embracing something like “All-Father” paganism, with ravens and runes. Your Southern (or even Heritage American) ancestors would have found that utterly abhorrent. The old pagan impulses in the West are now but a faint whisper, and long ago the best aspects of that prior culture were already incorporated by Christians.
We cannot “honor our ancestors” by believing in Thor. We can by doing what the vast majority of them did, following in Christ.

One paradigm for understanding our times is that we’re ruled by a plutocracy rooted in international finance that’s both evil and insane. We can observe the results of our unfortunate situation escalate in real time. As they pile up, the competence of the professionals who serve this plutocracy (they generally don’t seem to understand that) is going down.
The inverse relationship reflects the contradictory objectives of this plutocracy itself, to which the professionals simply comply. It’s my theory that one reason for their incompetence is the compliance itself. I mean that both in the mentality of one needed to comply and the information they’re being fed to keep it instilled. Today, I offer a protracted explanation of my sentiments, best known colloquially as a “rant.”
Take the military, for instance. It’s been utilized for over two decades of failure in continuous Zionist warfare. When things really kicked off under Bush, there was a process of ridding itself of anyone with the competence to understand that this agenda was crazy and the courage to speak out about it. Yeah, the U.S. military used to have officers who’d do that sort of thing. Under Obama, the focus of purging turned to anyone who wouldn’t go along with devious social engineering.

This is how we arrive at Gen. Mark Milley, a scumbag with a total disregard for the lives of those under his command. The process selects for characters like him who will tell whatever lie required because it can’t balance the need for competence with the demand for senior officers willing to go along with evil. If they can retain somebody good by traditional standards, probably the best they can hope for is that he wants to stick it out for at least 20 years to qualify for a pension. A lot of my friends fall in this category.
When Russia intervened in Ukraine, Phase One required them to take heavy casualties including brigadier generals and colonels who lead from the front in the officer-heavy Russian Army. It would be impossible not to do so given the sheer size and modern firepower of the Ukrainian military. The U.S. has never had to deal with anything like it. This wasn’t evidence they were losing. Anybody provided with a military education during the Cold War would’ve told you that a massive land conflict with Russia on its border was a lunatic proposition.
A couple objectives of this initial phase were to keep Ukrainian units stuck in their current locations while Mariupol and the territory connecting Crimea with the new republics was secured. The Ukrainian military was much larger than the Russian forces engaging it. This would’ve caused significant problems if units could be redeployed to thwart the main thrust of Phase One, which was happening in the south, not up north in Kiev where the Russians parked a column to tie down its massive garrison with a distraction.

Everyone keeps using the word “siege” when even a medieval knight could tell you that if an army didn’t try to surround and enter a city, ’twas no siege. It was a successful feint, that’s it. The region securing Crimea has since been fortified into a nightmare for a “counter offensive” against it by the third army NATO has managed to cobble together with equipment it will never be able to adequately supply or maintain. It’s being sent to get blown up anyways, so I suppose it doesn’t really matter.
After Phase One, the Russians settled into a strategy of using artillery, cruise missiles, and lofted airstrikes to destroy the Ukrainian military from a safe distance. Glide bomb sorties are now carried out daily, as well. Close fighting is usually done by the militias and Wagner Group in small fire teams in order to clear out positions which have been pounded beforehand. Large groups of anyone or anything is a bad idea given the firepower and surveillance capabilities involved in this conflict.
When the Ukrainians come forward to make direct contact, the Russians will often pull back to utilize this opportunity to slaughter them now that they’ve been brought out in the open, en masse while conserving their own men who’d be put in danger fighting this way. It’s then marketed as a victorious counter offensive when really it’s a senseless massacre on land that will revert back to the Russians after the war is over. The two previous armies were decimated. That’s why they’re having to put a third together.
None of this is hard to understand and I really don’t see much acknowledgment of the fact that the other side might actually know what it’s doing. The view that the Russians are nefarious, bungling cowards fighting with a bunch of junk seems to govern the American assessment of what’s going on, as well as this idea that everything in Russia is falling apart like it’s the 1990s. The level of contemporary and historical ignorance is really frightening.

It doesn’t help that they’re fed a steady diet of nonsense. There are also these myriad critical thinking points that don’t seem to trigger any of these military professionals. For example, if a country can produce a hypersonic missile which flies so hot and fast it creates a plasma field in front of it before striking the target at Mach 15, are they so stupid and poorly-equipped that they’re sending conscripts forward in human wave attacks to get killed in a 10-1 turkey shoot? How are they able to coordinate the launch of hundreds of other sophisticated cruise missiles at a time from a variety of platforms if they suffer from organizational incompetence? If they’re so shoddy, how have they sustained a ground operation much bigger than what the U.S. could undertake in Mexico for this long?
I’d love to go to a conference room and berate them with these questions all day. That’s the level of contradictions being embraced. It’s like asserting that a man is a danger to society because his 65 IQ makes him prone to impulsive violence while admitting he stole billions through complex white-collar crimes.
I see this propaganda about how they’re so desperate they’re using old T-54s to send these conscripts to their deaths. Can anybody scratch their head for a second and wonder about another possible explanation? The Russians can produce or refurbish over 1,000 tanks per month. They have a city-sized industrial complex for this purpose deep in the interior of the country.
As it turns out, these tanks use a different caliber of shell than all the others. The Soviets stockpiled it in WW3 quantities. They’re being handed over to the militias for indirect fire missions. The commander can watch the rounds hit in real time via drone footage and correct fire accordingly. They’re a dirt-cheap artillery platform, not a measure of desperation. It seems like we’re producing leaders who are only capable of interpreting things according to a narrative. That’s very dangerous.
Underlying all of this seems to be a couple of things besides the fact that they’re fed disinformation. First, this mentality that something is true because it was told to you by an expert or authority figure. Things that don’t make sense aren’t true because they told you without providing any plausible explanation or evidence. COVID proved that at least half of the population can’t comprehend this principle, so probably military officers are no different. That could be especially really true for anyone willing to do more than his minimum time at this point.
The other is this notion of “the right side of history.” It’s not a coincidence that an organization like the U.S. Army gripped by woke insanity switched its uniforms back to WW2 so everyone can feel like they defeated the Nazis. I think they have to tell themselves they’re the good guys serving their country because they can’t see the obvious, which is that the U.S. military has been harnessed for fundamentally nefarious purposes by evil people to whom our country means nothing.
I’ve heard the Taiwan situation described as a set of problems to solve. These are fundamentally not solvable problems in the sense that we could pursue these solutions and maintain a functioning civilization in America. Nobody stops to consider what a horrific disaster the project in Ukraine has been when they’re coming up with these idiotic scenarios.
What they’re doing now is switching to the narrative about how things are tough for Ukraine but they’re inflicting horrendous casualties on the Russians despite admitting that there’s an enormous differential in firepower. The absurdity of this contradiction is mind blowing and if the majority of U.S. officers find it plausible, we’d be better off getting rid of everything but the Coast Guard.
I’m starting to think the difference between a dissident and a normal man is that when we’re lied to all the time we get pissed off and want to point out the truth. Our counterparts would rather believe the nonsense or shrug it off because emotionally they can’t handle the implications of the fact that they’re being lied to all the time. It’s just a theory, but maybe.
If you serve in an organization that can send you to get killed, perhaps you’re much better off not feeling as if the leadership is ignorant, incompetent, and up to no good. I’m not writing this to denigrate anyone’s military service. My point here is that when you combine utterly insane objectives with officers willing to go along with them because “they’re the good guys,” this is how the train runs off the rails.
The U.S. is wiring Ukraine with sensors that can detect bursts of radiation from a nuclear weapon and can confirm the identity of the attacker. If Russia detonates a radioactive weapon on Ukrainian soil, the technology could verify Moscow’s culpability. https://t.co/2YJXKhnAFn

It’s rather alarming that now they’re sending teams to Ukraine in order to detect nuclear activity and identify it as Russian ahead of an offensive in which tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives will be sacrificed for headlines to frame a narrative about how they’ve got the Russians bled white and on the run. That would be a lovely explanation for why those dastardly Russians resorted to a WMD. We’ve been through this WMD stuff before, what it was used to justify, and how that turned out. The patterns, guys…. please!
If you start from the premise that Ukraine is not winning and the U.S. needs some way to freeze this conflict for a later date, the worst possible outcomes start looking more likely. A brilliant plan to save the Ukraine project could easily turn into a WW3-type escalation when you realize they’ll need something really intense to frighten the Russians into backing off (who’ve promised to escalate instead) rather than taking every inch they want from a failed state. The U.S. is faced with the catastrophic implosion of the entire enterprise, so desperate times might call for desperate measures.
Russian politicians have been adamant that they’ll pursue a comprehensive solution and that they’re prepared for this to take years. They’d never just accept a deal to stay where they’re at and have a ceasefire like the U.S. wants. That wouldn’t solve the political objective of reuniting all the Russian areas nor would it solve the security objective of permanently removing the threat NATO has built for the purpose of collapsing the Russian Federation. They’ll never get the Russians to take another screw job like the Minsk Accords ever again.

The issue is clearly that just like blowing up Nord Stream or provoking this “unprovoked invasion” in the first place, there doesn’t seem to be anybody at the Pentagon willing to resign and speak out. It doesn’t look like there’s anyone in the pipeline, either. I know this is turning into a rant, but I talk to guys with graduate degrees in the U.S. military who can’t figure out what the fuck is actually going on in Ukraine. They can’t even figure out that we started it. Meanwhile, I talk to former officers from Central America who have no problem recognizing reality. That doesn’t bode well for us at all.
The men and material for an offensive have to be assembled in the rear ahead of time, which concentrates them into convenient clusters, often in the middle of a muddy morass. Apparently, Ukraine was hit with a missile strike of unprecedented size earlier this week targeting these concentrations. This would indicate the Ukrainians are gearing up for their third suicide operation, which the media keeps telling us will happen soon. If there is some WMD false flag, it could transpire in the near future. All we can do is wait and see.
On a side note, things aren’t looking too bright from the enlisted aspect of things, too. They’re pushing through imbeciles. The DOD has long established with very good statistics they can’t be trained to adequately perform tasks required of a soldier or even follow orders consistently. This one’s headed off to AIT to become a fire control specialist. How heartwarming. I genuinely don’t want anything bad to happen to U.S. personnel, but it really seems like we’ve got a perfect storm shaping up.

The post Compliance vs Competence: A Rant appeared first on Identity Dixie.
I’ve been watching and listening to the current debate, conversation, and all out mudslinging among my Christian brothers, and the false ones, on the idea of Christian Nationalism. Let me be very honest, I want every nation of man to convert to the One Trinitarian God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, as revealed in the pages of the Holy Scriptures, both the Old and New Testament. For there is no god but Jehovah, creator of all things, every molecule held in place by His Divine power, and every man subject to His divine will. And one would suspect that every person that named Christ would want the same, fulfilling the “Our Father” (Papist), “Lord’s Prayer” (Protestants), with “thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven.” However, it is not so, and the debate has left me somewhat befuddled.
As God is sovereign over all things, it makes absolute sense that His divine purpose would be that all men submit to His authority in all things. This would include, but not be limited to, all governments, and I would suppose those promoting a Christian Nationalist view would agree on this point. However, the opposition, and I’m talking about Christians, seem to prefer something else, a nation state not constitutionally bound in obedience to the Almighty, but to a secular ideal of sort. How interesting?
There is nothing new under the sun, and we’ve seen this over and over again in the Bible, and especially with the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah. They were all supposed to live in subjection to the laws given by Moses, not just the Ten Commandments, but also all those contained in the Pentateuch. It was a divinely given religious and governmental system that was to rule the children of the Most High. However, they never seemed to live up to those expectations. Even the good kings always seemed to stop just short.
In the theocracy of the Israelites, there were “high places,” places of worship, that the children of Israel would escape to. They would worship the sex gods of the pagans and partake in the degenerate practices of such religions, which involved ritual orgies, temple prostitution (all genders included), and even the sacrificial offerings of children to these gods. They wanted Jehovah Nationalism, but only if they could keep a few things left untouched. Seems reasonable, except it eventually brought national destruction and the expulsion of their nation off the land to which they were covenantally bound.
We can observe this same scenario playing out in the current debate over Christian Nationalism. And if we are to be honest, those Christians in opposition really just want the high places kept up, in case they ever want to have a wild weekend, or so their “god” won’t offend their godless neighbors.
Let me mention a few hot button issues of today, those that would require complete compliance to the laws of God in a Christian nation. And, this is a very short list.
Example: Abortion I remember when abortion was the law of the land; certain “Pro-Life” groups, including their denominational allies, regularly called abortion murder, and as the Bible clearly states, murder is a capital offense. However, when the states were restored their legal sovereign right to legislate abortion and, therefore, make abortion a capital offense, many anti-abortion activists flinched at calling for infanticidal women (and men), or abortion providers, to be charged with capital punishment. Remember, they fought for years and years to save the lives of children, praying to God for victory over this hellish procedure. Then, when Our Divine Majesty gives them everything they want, they backtrack on the implementation of a just punishment for the murder of unborn children.
Example: HomosexualityBelieve it or not, but sodomy and other homosexual acts were once illegal, not just in public, but even in the privacy of one’s home. If discovered, practitioners of such acts could go to jail. But that seemed unkind, although under the laws of God, it is also a capital offense. So, states and courts changed the laws, no longer making that which God calls vile and unnatural a chargeable wrongdoing. In modern America, our laws no longer subdue evil for the benefit of society, but our godless culture promotes every type of sexually deviant behavior all over the world. We even sacrifice our nation’s children, mutilating their genitalia, dressing them up as sex objects for pedophiles, and constantly using the media to propagandize them to the point they doubt their own biology! Unfortunately, a great majority of “Christians” stay silent, and even attend parades, story book hours, and fake weddings for these wicked demons, as a display of showing them “acts of love.”
So, let me offer a constructive thought for the first part of what might be a few articles.
For those who want the Remnant of this “nation” to be Christian, as I do, which is why I am a Southern Nationalist, you’re going to have to make hard choices. The main choice you are going to make is to stop identifying as an American, it is an arm of a satanic global empire that is irredeemable. Christian Nationalism will never work in these United States, it’s just too big. However, it can work in states, counties, small towns, and even some smaller cities, and I’ll expand in the next article.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

A friend of mine is a true COVID believer, even to the point of reprimanding me for my flippant attitude on the matter and endangering everyone else by doing unvaccinated socializing. I showed his texts to another ID writer who concluded this must’ve been the writings of a hysterical woman. My friend’s wife got her first injection and was promptly afflicted with a really bad case of chickenpox. She’d already had it as a kid. At that point, I found it very alarming to watch this process play out in real time with the people in my life. She still got the next shot.
She’s now experiencing heart issues and has an appointment with an oncologist because they’re having a lot of trouble trying to figure out what’s wrong with this poor lady. Her opinion basically is “it sucks to get old.” Okay, yes it does. However, it’s not routine for someone at the age of 40 to have these problems. People simply can’t admit to themselves that they were led astray, led others astray, or demanded that others go astray or have their lives wrecked. When you’re on the wrong side of the truth, it can be emotionally destructive to admit. I assume most of them never will.

I had the benefit of a religious education, but lacked a crystal clear logical and spiritual sense of things until the injections started and all of these kids were turned into trannies. As someone who’s been at the dissident thing for a while, my biggest fear was not that the truth would never assert itself, but that this would only occur in terms of the consequences.
After all, Christ showed up and they murdered him for his trouble. Things have been rather fraught ever since. However, the reality is that his path was taken deliberately with the foreknowledge of what would happen. He was making a point about our existence rather than sitting back to relax and sparing himself any extreme pain. This much is clear, but he also said that he knows a lot of things that we don’t. That’s something we have to accept.
However, the principles to govern our conduct on Earth were elucidated as well as the fact that nobody is equipped to make the best choice every time. I’m not trying to provide a theological treatise here or implying that I’m some expert. This is just my own take on the matter that’s been developed through dealing with evil and insanity and wishing that things could just be reasonable before I realized that’s not how any of this is going to play out.
What I’m trying to articulate is that if you know what to do from his example, then you need to apply this to the troubles you encounter. There’s going to be a Final Judgement when everyone is going to get what’s coming to them. Nobody’s wealth, status, or perception by others is going to spare them from it. This is something that used to be quite well known, and was thus the subject of vivid medieval art. For instance, The Last Judgement by Marx Reichlich (1490) does a nice job of conveying the situation’s gravity.
How are these people like Fauci or Bill Gates going to be able to answer for what they’ve done? I don’t know but I really wouldn’t want to be in their position on that day. It’s also known that you need to forgive other people in order to receive it yourself. This can be a real struggle but it’s absolutely critical to overcome. In other words, I’m not writing this article to suggest that they should go to Hell. You shouldn’t do that for anyone.
The truth will become known but that’s going to take time and probably lots of other unpleasantries along the way. We’re seeing that now with COVID and the fact that these people have no way to defend themselves. They’re at the point where they’ve resorted to censoring presidential candidates on prime-time national television.

Although COVID was a novel form of evil and insanity to be put through, there are many such cases. You’ve got to do what you know is right in each and understand that many people don’t know the right thing to do or can’t follow your course of action. For example, many men had to roll the dice with these injections because otherwise they couldn’t provide for their families or genuinely believed that was how to keep them safe.
I’m not writing this to congratulate myself for not getting injections. While my experience with COVID was rather dicey (like thrown in a gulag on a European military base dicey) nobody confronted me with an ultimatum about getting fired. What I’m trying to say is that in the end, the lies will save no one.

It’s not going to save them. The post The Blame Game appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Harmonica has been writing some good essays on Christianity, heathenism, and Europe that have become necessary as apostasy spreads over the West. The mentioning of Charlemagne got things a bit offtrack, however. The key passage is this one, from Part 3 of the series:
“The real origins of the West do not reside in Plato’s Athens, but rather in Charlemagne’s Carolingian Empire. It was at this point where all three of the West’s major influences, the Classical world, Christianity, and Germanic culture, all cohesively came together.”
In a sense, he is correct: the founding of the Carolingian Empire was the beginning of something new, but not in the positive sense – rather, in the sense of a deviation from what is true and right. For Charlemagne swerved away from universal Christian teaching in two major ways, both of which have led the West to the decrepit state she is in now. First, he rejected the decision of the Seventh Ecumenical (Universal) Council of 787 A.D., which upheld the veneration of icons of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the saints and angels. Second, he unlawfully modified the Nicene Creed, so that the Holy Spirit is said to proceed from the Father and the Son, rather than simply from the Father as the original version approved by the Second Ecumenical Council (+381) reads.
By rejecting the Seventh Council at the Frankfurt Synod (+794), Charlemagne rejected an essential teaching about Jesus Christ, rejected His full humanity. In rejecting the veneration of Christ in icons, he belittled the human nature of Christ. But the Lord Jesus, being fully God and fully man, is 1) able to be depicted in icons, mosaics, etc., and 2) receives honor when men and women venerate His holy image. This distortion of belief and practice by Charlemagne disincarnates Christ, separates us from Him by making Him a shadowy ghost somewhere up in the heavens rather than the God-man Whom we may see, taste, touch, kiss, etc. These falsehoods that have uglified Christ turn people away from Christianity and cause them to seek out pagan alternatives.
But this is not his most serious error. His addition of the Filioque (‘and the Son’) to the Nicene Creed, which deformed the true Apostolic teaching of the Holy Trinity, is what has truly devastated the West. Dr. Joseph Farrell in the foreword to his magnum opus God, History, and Dialectic: The Theological Foundations of the Two Europes and Their Cultural Consequences goes into some of the details. What follows are a just a few of the highlights:
“These essays are about the Two Europes and the Three Trinities on which they are based. The first Trinity is the Holy Trinity of classical Christian doctrine, uncorrupted by its Augustinian formulation, the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. As the first term of the second Trinity is St. Augustine of Hippo’s Dialectical Formulation of the Holy Trinity; as the second term of the second trinity is the History which that dialectical formula-tion moulded and shaped, and as the third term of the second trinity are the divisions which resulted from the application of Augustine’s trinitarian dialectics in History, the resulting schisms of “Europe” into First Europe, Second Europe, and Russia. The causes for the Second Europe’s tripartite division of History into its Ancient, Mediaeval, and Modern Ages is thus to be credited to St. Augustine’s dialectical formulation of the Trinity. This transub-stantiation of the Trinity from a revealed Mystery to a dialectical deduction, and finally, to a dialectical process at work within History is simply unintelligible without Augustine. In the thirteenth century, Joa-chim of Floris’ Age of the Father, Age of the Son, and (coming) Age of the Spirit, or Petrarch’s or Gibbon’s Golden Age, Dark Age, and Renaissance, or Hegel’s well-known Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis, or Comte’s “superstitious, metaphysical, and scientific” periods, and finally, our own superficially academic and objective divisions of Ancient, Mediaeval, and Modern “History” are but tired exhausted reworkings of the original heresy which split the Latin Church from Eastern Orthodoxy and created the Two Europes. The Second Europe’s historiography, even in its most avowedly secular form, Marxism, is thus one of many logical implications and inevitabilities of the Augustinizing of doctrine which took place from the fifth to the ninths centuries in the Christian West.
… In the ironies of historical development, one encounters the Two Hellenizations being formally adopted and accepted by the Two Europes at approximately the same time, in the ninth century. In that space and in that time, they clash openly for the first time, and the ikon of that clash, with all its attendant historiographical implications, is the coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III in 800 A.D. As we shall see, tragically the Second Europe is incapable even of interpreting Pope Leo’s actions or activities with anything like consistency, and that fact will highlight the first occurrence of a persisting problem in Second European historiography, for the clash more than anything else will demonstrate that it was the East’s which was the original Christian orthodoxy and civilization, and that the West of Charlemagne constituted the departure and digres-sion. We will fail entirely to understand the alarm of a St. Photius later in that century, or the careful diplomacy of a Leo III at the beginning of it, or the monumental hubris of a Pope Nicholas I, if we do not penetrate to their ultimate theological origins. Indeed, we shall see that the fact that the Second, Augustinized Europe of the West should come to view itself as the canon of “Judeo-Christian civilization” is the result of that departure and clash, and of the growth in its own eyes of its status as the canonical measure of what is genuinely “Christian” or “European” civilization stems ultimately from the Carolingian equation of Augustinism with its own imperial orthodoxy and ambitions. Even the massive historical systems of a Hegel or Toynbee are the products of this assumption…”
The overemphasis of Charlemagne, the Franks, and others on Saint Augustine’s teachings brings us to our present pagan revival. Dr. Farrell continues:
“For Augustine the bishop and Augustinism the system are two different things. Augustine the bishop insisted, no less vigorously than his great counterparts in Cappadocia—Sts. Basil of Caesaria, Gregory of Nyssa, and Gregory of Nazianzus—on the direct continuity of the Church with the ancient Hebrews and with the cultural autonomy conferred on them by God. But Augustine the Hellenizer erected a system founded upon a continuity of theology with Greek philosophy, a continuity of incalculable enormity: the identification of The One (to en) of Greek philosophy with the One God and Father of Christian doctrine. That marriage of Theology and Philosophy occurred not at some secondary level of doctrine, but at the core, at the height, of all Christian belief, the doctrine of God Himself. So long as this cohabitation went undetected and unchallenged, so long did its hidden implications take root, grow, and eventually overwhelm and choke the Christian component. Our current moral and spiritual crisis is the result of that marriage, and will not be resolved until the churches which persist in it, beginning with Rome, repent and recant the error. For Augustine saw discontinuity with that Graeco-pagan world, but the theologians, philosophers, and humanists who came after him and who were the heirs of his system, came increasingly to see continuity.
Thus, at its core the Second Europe is pagan, for it worships a pagan definition of God, pagan, for it is crumbling from within, overladen [sic., i.e., “overlaid”.– A.F.] only with an increasingly thin and superficial veneer of a Christian idiom.”
Prior to Charlemagne, there was one Christian oikoumene (‘inhabited world’), but he broke it apart with his weaponized theology for the sake of building an empire of his own. This is not the happy beginning of a glorious West, but the sorrowful start of her slow death. Instead of spending their time extolling him, the Western European peoples should go about finding ways to rebuild the bridges he burned between the West and the Orthodox Church. We understand that some of this may sound unkind, but we assure everyone it is offered only out of concern for the well-being of the West. In that same spirit of friendship, we invite whoever is interested to read further if they have questions about these crucial subjects:

Asia is a place where I’ve done a lot of business, especially the east. It’s a complicated region. China is by far the largest country, and historically it doesn’t get along too well with Japan. Taiwan, legally the Republic of China, gets along very well with Japan, however. What all three parties agree on is that the Koreans are hot-tempered people who don’t know their place.
As far as North Korea is concerned, the chance that it would try to conquer the South is zero. It doesn’t even have the resources for such an endeavor. North Korea wants the U.S. not to attack it, which became its primary concern after the era of neocon invasions began following the Cold War. Fair enough.
One theory holds that the U.S. would like to do so, in order to then deploy its military assets right to the border of China. Another is that it’s fine using the situation to keep them in the current locations. Hopefully, the second one is more plausible, seeing as moving troops towards the Chinese border would trigger military action, no matter how ill-prepared they might be for it. That’s what happened during the Korean War.

As far as a nuclear attack, the last place they’d decided to nuke is the South, which they consider to be their own country under a foreign military occupation. Tokyo would probably be the target, and there wouldn’t be a shortage of South Koreans cheering it on. They really hate the Japanese, who are justifiably quite alarmed about the North Korea situation.
The other two countries bordering North Korea, China and Russia, aren’t too thrilled about the situation either, especially the nuclear tests which could trigger a radioactive landslide. The Chinese have erected extensive border security measures, fearing a mass influx of refugees should the regime collapse. Clearly, they view this as high-potential scenario. Once things kicked off in Ukraine, the Russians basically said, “this would be a good time for our friends in North Korea to test some of those missiles.” Medvedev disclosed this in an interview last year.
As for South Korea, if it was up to the average person, the U.S. military would be gone. They understand they’re being cynically exploited much better than the Taiwanese. Nobody living in a homogeneous, low crime nation would want the U.S. military to occupy it with diversity. That’s especially true in a very nationalistic place that finds it highly objectionable for their women to be sleeping with foreigners, particularly the black ones.
There’s also no enthusiasm for absorbing the North. The West/East German divide was much shorter and far less drastic than what’s happened to Korea. Still, it was an enormous economic and financial challenge to reunite Germany. South Korea probably couldn’t afford to do that with the North. So, even if the government fell in with the North, it would still probably end up as a separate zone of some kind, perhaps indefinitely.
Trump had a really good idea in making a deal with Kim on the nuclear issues. It would’ve ratcheted down tensions with China and removed one of the primary justifications for keeping all of these American troops abroad, rather than on our own border with Mexico. Kim was fine with not devoting so many resources to nukes in exchange for a new status quo in which the U.S. wouldn’t try to regime change him. Yeah, it would’ve been a master stroke of statesmanship that would’ve bolstered Trump’s popularity with voters.
As it turns out, Trump was rather naive in thinking he could hijack a political system that belongs to a plutocracy without consequences and do something that made common sense. His own administration wouldn’t even allow it. All it took to blow the whole thing was that nutjob John Bolton announcing that Kim would be getting the same deal as Qaddafi.
You might recall that Qaddafi had made productive deals with the West, such as stopping African migrants in exchange for a relatively trivial sum of money and agreeing not to produce WMDs in exchange for security guarantees. In return, a revolution was fomented in Libya and it was bombarded. He ended up sodomized to death with a bayonet on television. What was once one of the best places to be an average citizen in the Arab world is a failed state and a massive percentage of them are dead.
My assessment is that Mr. Kim has a pretty reasonable set of concerns that he’s attempting to address with his missile and nuke program. Moreover, both sides of Korea could peacefully come to whatever arrangement they arrived at if left alone. Of course, Uncle Sam won’t leave this situation alone until it literally explodes. Perhaps they’re thinking they can provoke a conflict that will suck China in again, so there’s a viable justification to really kick things off. The entire geopolitical situation is so insane at this point that anything is possible.

The post Korean Drama appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Recently, I wrote an article about my experience with Taiwan and the invasion prospects. On a lighter note, a local I’d met explained to me about how Taiwanese can take each other to civil court for insults. The penalties for each specific insult are codified in the law. For example, if you called a man the “son of a whore” he could be awarded several hundred dollars even if, in fact, this was his mother’s profession. My favorite was the term “shameless stinky bitch.”
That part of the world is pervaded by a deep shame culture. In one of these countries, my endeavor was hit with a substantial fine. I had to pay the government through an in-person bank transaction. While I was sitting at the clerk’s desk, she saw the paperwork, got wide-eyed and walked to the manager’s desk behind her. As she whispered in his ear, he looked over at me with a dim stare and nodded his head.
By the time she returned with the documents to sign, everyone else in the back was staring at me and whispering to each other. I could literally feel the shame. If politicians and celebrities are hit with scandal over there, they have to do slow, solemn-faced bows in front of a horde of clicking cameras to demonstrate their contrition. It’s a real thing that works on people from all walks of life. The North Koreans take it pretty far, but that’s the nature of them. I wouldn’t recommend sending your kid on a school trip.
Probably a significant reason China isn’t doing the pride stuff is the CCP understands that without shame, not enough people would be restrained by their conscience to keep society from falling apart. This would also explain why they’ve developed a social credit system to punish city dwellers for things a villager would be ashamed of, like not caring for elderly parents. In the anonymity of a big city, the shame just doesn’t stick anymore. That’s led to a lot of problems for them.
This could be a scenario for my post-collapse retirement. “Tom? He’s the old hermit who live out beyond the dunes.“In a Western context, it’s closer to the force from that original Star Wars movie. A primordial energy from a more civilized age that’s now been forgotten. The reason we have the pride movement incorporated into everything here is that the subject matter is unholy, abusive, disgusting, and spreads diseases. It’s a perverted sexual impulse, not an organic identity like your race or nationality. One can simply not participate in these activities, and shame provided a pretty big incentive to desist.
I also think that shame instills a sort of collective consciousness which influences people who lack self-awareness. I wasn’t around for the 1950s, but I’ve seen plenty of photographs. When shopping at my local Walmart, I can’t help but notice the weight and appalling standards of dress featured by many customers. My suspicion is that if they were plopped down in a retail situation back in those days, they’d see everybody else and feel ashamed of themselves. This would lead to an attempt to do better.
Shame is something that might have evolved into a more gentle enforcement mechanism than brutal punishments. In ancient times, they sure didn’t take kindly to a man interacting in certain ways with another man. It was dealt with severely. If they’d have seen men dressed as demons dancing in front of kids, one suspects burning at the stake would’ve been the remedy.
I’m certainly not advocating any of these methods for maintaining order. My point is that just as the truth shall set you free, shame can save you from transgressions you’ll regret later. Therefore, many problems have gentle solutions, like truth and shame, to guide our conduct in a sustainable society. I still think the collapse and cannibalism stage will come first, but the survivors could really have it better if they keep that in mind. Have a great day.

Originally published March 27, 2023, at Dissident Mama.
My guest is vice rector of Kiev Theological Academy in the Kiev Caves Lavra, Archimandrite Filaret Voloshyn, who I interviewed with co-host Father John Whiteford, a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, head priest at St. Jonah Orthodox Church in Spring, Texas, and a co-founder of the Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship along with yours truly.
Last week, Father Filaret released a video about the tensions rising in the ancient monastery and its theological schools in response to the Ukrainian government’s impending March 29 deadline to remove the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) from the monastery. The courageous hieromonk (whose English is superb!) explains to Father John and me the “tragically difficult” situation that is unfolding there (and has been for a many years) and is coming to a head within days. This is a matter of religious and human rights, and one that affects not only the Orthodox faithful of Kiev but also every Christian around the world. I implore all people of goodwill to listen to this first-person account and pray mightily for those being persecuted.
Download this podcast, watch on Odysee or YouTube, or listen at Dissident Mama.My friends at Orthodox Reflections, who suggested to me that I reach out to Fr. Filaret for an interview, have some of the best articles on the crisis being inflicted upon the UOC. These include:
• “5 Important Ways to Help the Persecuted Ukrainian Orthodox Church” which features the email message Fr. Filaret sent to alternative-media outlets in America.
• “8 Lies Told by Enemies of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church”
• “End the Unjust, Immoral Persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church”
• “We Demand an End to the Silence Over the Persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church”
Fr. John also presented a paper in 2019 at St. Tikhon University entitled “An American Perspective on the Ukraine Crisis” and was featured at OrthoChristian. Here are a few other relevant items from this Orthodox website:
• “New video shows how UOC completely restored the dilapidated Kiev Caves Lavra (+VIDEO)”
• “Thousands of faithful again fill the Kiev Caves Lavra on Sunday of the Cross (+VIDEO)”
• “‘Bow to me and you’ll have no problems,’ Pat. Bartholomew tells Met. Onuphry, according to Lavra abbot”
• “Metropolitan Onuphry’s Pastoral Love for the Ukrainian People”
Some of Fr. John’s other pertinent articles on this extremely vital topic:
• “What’s Going on in Ukraine? Part 1: The Historical Background”
• “What’s Going on in Ukraine? Part 2: The Canonical Issues”
• “The Day They Began Killing Christians”
And a couple of his homilies:
• “St. Maximus the Confessor and the Schism in Ukraine”
• “The Schism over Ukraine”

Individualism and collectivism are often used as a false dichotomy. Individualists often state that you are either an individualist or a collectivist.
One such example of that dichotomy is this graphic that I often see scattered around:
Not only is the modern individualist argument a false binary, but it is also a false premise by not understanding of what an individual is. An individual is intrinsically part of their biological nation; whether or not they desire that is irrelevant. A man proclaiming himself as a fully independent, non-connected individual is no different from a man proclaiming he is a woman. It is imaginary and, in their mind, only.
We are all communitarian individuals. It is an inherent part of the human condition and our biology.
Both individualism and collectivism philosophies are dangerous. Collectivism, obviously so, because of its focus on the state (a political power or system, not the people). But so too is individualism, because of its degeneration.
The organic, unaltered form of individualism is not necessarily bad. Some of its original roots were laid as early as the Greco-Roman era (to a much lesser extent than of today, as they all still recognized communities).
Modern individualism, mostly since the Enlightenment, has gone completely wacky. They have shifted from the focus of individuals through their chosen local community to absolute individualism, as espoused by thinkers like Ayn Rand.
In effect, historic individualism changed from “me and my community” to modern individualism: “me, myself, and I.” They turn away from not only their nation, but even their community in the process.
This is something the Greeks and Romans could not have possibly fathomed. They were Roman first. They were Athenian, or Spartan. Read their works, you can feel their community identity bleed through the pages.
Marcus Aurelius, for instance, always put “Roman” before “man” in all of his writings. Including famously in this quote:
“Let it be thy earnest and incessant care as a Roman and a man to perform whatsoever it is that thou art about, with true and unfeigned gravity, natural affection, freedom and justice.”
Our ancestors claimed community and nation first, individual second. But both still mattered. It was not a false dichotomy between the two.
Who does this still today? Who claims their nation? Hardly any, if we are being truthful to ourselves. It’s all “me, me, and me.”
But even this mere thought is asinine, because everything we do, and use requires others. There are hardly any who are truly self-sufficient entirely on themselves, and even those that think they are still must use the security and stabilization of the state or other apparatus to not need to recruit their own army to protect their goods. That’s just one example; I am sure my reader can ponder plenty more.
Those same ancestors knew that when their people did well, they also did well. They relied on their nation, and in return their nation allowed them the liberties and individual options to prosper alongside them. Our heritage knew that it required more than one person to achieve such heights.
Their communitarian approach allowed a branching out of individualism, so long as its roots were in the community. People could be individuals because their nation was secure enough together.
To be alone is to be abandoned. The wild thing about modernity is that it convinces people to self-abandon and seclude themselves. That used to be implemented as a punishment. In fact, it was one of the worst punishments to be exiled from your community/nation. There are many famous cases of individuals punished with exile that instead chose to kill themselves, because of how severe it was perceived.
Now, because of degenerative individualism, being exiled is self-inflicted.
Which, in many ways, is exactly what the Enlightenment wanted. They wanted to distance themselves from the communitarianism (and the occasional error of collectivism) in Christendom. So, they did so by encouraging individualism, which provoked turning one’s back on their own nation.
This allowed other nations to operate more effectively, because they stayed united, versus others, which were segmented by each individual. This segmentation – being alone – leads to pathological cowardice, the final stage of degenerative individualism.
It also allowed the importation of excessive tolerance of every form of degeneracy and a firestorm of greed/corruption – because hey, it is good for me.
The modern ills we see surrounding us today stem from the excess of the individualist philosophy which took root during the Enlightenment period.
Individualism also often hides behind nice-sounding definitions, such as this one:
“Individualists promote the realisation of one’s goals and desires, valuing independence and self-reliance, and advocating that the interests of the individual should gain precedence over the state, while opposing external interference upon one’s own interests by society or institutions such as the government.”
Once again, it paints the picture that there are only two options: a state focus or an individual focus. This is wrong. There is also a nation focus, a community (enclave) focus, a social group focus, and plenty of others.
And many of those focuses intrinsically include an individual focus, just not as their primary (meaning not at the cost of the entire community).
We can have both a healthy community and historic individualism, but it requires putting checks and balances on the evil and degenerative actions of some of our individuals that would seek to exploit pure individualism. The state does not need to be the one limiting it, communities can. Or enclaves, or nations. The individualist incorrectly assumes that it must be an empire or a political system restricting these malicious actors (collectivism). But it is simply not true, historically or now.
While it is true that individualism and collectivism are the two most common forms today, this is not historically true. Communitarianism, with evolving historic individualism, used to be dominant during Christendom and the Greco-Roman eras. Modernity perverted this trend.
Perhaps the most important thing for libertarians, anarchists, liberals, and the like, to realize is that individualism was once a useful characteristic of true communitarianism. It was a piece of it; a piece of our heritage that allowed both individuals and communities to prosper.
But under modernity, just like everything else, it has degenerated. Individualism has morphed and become a self-centered, destructive monstrosity that is tearing us down while allowing the collectivists the time needed to build up.
If we are to defeat the evils of the modern world, we need each other. This is not an individual fight. We need a return to an enclave or nation focus. We need to revive the Remnant, and we need to fight for the Remnant, so it may fight for us.
Or, we will keep segmenting until there are only individuals left on our side, while the enemy’s side is filled with united collectivists all working toward the same goal.
It does not take a genius to figure out which side will win.

Author’s Note: This is the third part in a multi-part series in which I critique the rise of paganism within certain Dissident Right circles, listing the major reasons why I think paganism is a dead end for the Right and that it will only end in disaster.
If I am being charitable, I think the origin of the “Pagan Right” sits within how the development of Western civilization has been traditionally taught. To simplify matters a bit, the classical societies of ancient Greece and Rome are typically viewed as the foundation of Western civilization, and from there on other elements, such as Christianity, were simply added to it. The “Pagan Right” takes hold of this perspective and runs with it. The pagan assertion is: if the West existed before Christianity, then Christianity and the West are separate; thus, the West’s existence is not dependent upon Christianity and the religion is, in fact, an alien accompaniment that must be rejected. This is certainly not a viewpoint I share; I reject not only its conclusion but also its premise. However, it is important to understand that the “Pagan Right” is not new and has its roots in the Enlightenment project. Its aims are to divorce the West from its historic religion, and to cast the Ancient world as the rational age and, conversely, the Medieval period, the world of Christian Europe, as an era of ignorance and superstition.
The fundamental error with this line of thinking is that is it incorrect about the origins of the West. This is where I break with both the traditional (i.e., Enlightenment) understanding of the origins of the West, as well as, the pagans who have embraced this idea. Although Greece and Rome must be considered (some) of the foundations of the West, they are not synonymous with the West. Rather, Greco-Roman societies formed a separate, albeit related, civilization – the Classical period. It is important to remember that while the Greeks and Romans were White, the idea of Whites sharing a civilization does not begin with them. Their civilizations were not “European,” but rather “Mediterranean.” Yes, it is true that the Mediterranean of the Roman Empire was far Whiter than it is today, including North Africa, the Levant, and Anatolia. Those regions would become non-White thanks to the Arab and Turkic conquests centuries later. But, it is simply incorrect to presume that the Romans had an ethnic or cultural affinity for Europeans (as a whole) or had any shared cultural values. After all, they hated and feared the barbarians. Therefore, we cannot consider the “West,” with its homeland as Europe, as originating exclusively from Greco-Roman civilizations.
Rather than having a single cultural origin, with the Greeks and Romans as its only base, the origins of the West should be understood as forming around the synthesis of three distinct cultural forces. The Classical period is one of these streams; however, the other two, Christianity and the Germanic tribes, play equally critical roles. As much as a three-legged stool cannot stand if one of its legs is knocked out, neither can the West. Each of these legs forms the West and, if one of them is removed, the West ceases to exist. Far from being a toxic foreign influence on Europeans, Christianity forged the bonds of Europe, allowing Europeans, from Norway to Spain, to share a fundamental cultural and spiritual affiliation. This does not mean that they viewed each other as the same nation, they were still well aware of the differences between a Celt and a Pole or a Spaniard and a Frenchman. The fact that Italians and Germans could (and still can) regard each other as “Westerners” would have shocked any Roman or Germanic tribesman. To the Roman, the Germani were a brutish people hellbent on destroying civilization. To the German, the Roman was a slaver. It is only Christianity that ensured Germans and Italians shared a common civilization, as both accepted Christianity.
Each of these cultural traditions, Greco-Roman, Christian, and Germanic, gave the West its identity. And, in no way can one love the West and hate one of these traditions. From the Greco-Romans came philosophy, Christianity provided neighborly and communal support, and the Germanic peoples (including the Anglo-Saxons) bestowed the understanding of freedom. This list is, of course, just scratching the surface of the gifts each tradition gave the West. Islamic civilization utilized a great deal of Greco-Roman culture, but it is not the West. Ethiopia is an ancient Christian kingdom, but it is also not the West. While no pagan Germanic nation survived, judging by what we have seen with Islam and Ethiopia, there is no reason for us to think such a nation would not be Western. Hilaire Belloc was right: “Europe is the faith and the faith is Europe.” The Christian faith made Europe and, in return, Europeans set out to spread the Gospel to every corner of the world. The real origins of the West do not reside in Plato’s Athens, but rather in Charlemagne’s Carolingian Empire. It was at this point where all three of the West’s major influences, the Classical world, Christianity, and Germanic culture, all cohesively came together.
Instead of viewing the Greco-Roman world as the sole birthplace of Western civilization, the Right should understand that it is only one part of our origin, albeit an incredibly important one. By hating, or simply downplaying one of these forces, the sons and daughters of the West are weakening a major part of their own civilization. The fact that the Left does this is one matter, they are only acting in their nature. Christianity is not a foreign interloper, but one of the three legs by which the West stands.
There is another matter on which Belloc is accurate: “Europe will return to the Faith, or she will perish.“
The post Against Paganism, Part 3: No West without Christianity appeared first on Identity Dixie.
When my wife and I moved to the South in 2002, we ended up in a small, semirural town in North Louisiana. It was the kind of small town we wanted. Our intent was to avoid cities as much as possible. We had both grown up in small towns in the North and were not city people. The town we ended up in had one main street and about five side streets, and it had a distinct small town Southern atmosphere. There was a gas station, a couple of churches, a bank, market, a few restaurants, and a hardware store on the main street.
One of the restaurants was sort of a local hangout, the kind of place you could visit on a warm afternoon, buy a glass of sweet tea or Coke, and just sit and visit with some of the local folks. They also served a pretty good (and inexpensive) fried catfish dinner in the evening. My wife and I often stopped there for supper on Saturday evening. It was all ideal – for a while.
But then came the scions of “progress and change,” and nothing was ever the same again. They told us the town needed a bigger and better bridge across the river – and they were correct about that. The old bridge across the river that was there had been built in the early 1930s. It needed replacing. But the replacement we ended up with took out about a third of the town’s main street. The result was that one of the churches, the hardware store, and the two restaurants all had to go. And the local chemical company (a division of Dow Chemicals) bought from the town all the land that the church and restaurants and hardware store had previously occupied, and nothing was to be built on that land. The chemical company wanted all of it to remain open space. That pretty well killed the town’s main street as far as business went and it erased the unique Southern atmosphere the town had previously had.
The mayor at that time had some grandiose plans to put all the businesses out on the main highway – about five miles from where they had previously been. I’m not sure anyone ever figured out completely what he was trying to do, but he worked at it anyway – and the town completely lost its unique Southern character and became just one more shopping stop on the main highway. There were those in town that protested, but not enough of them.
My wife and I now no longer live in the town, in the house we lived in. Our health will not permit that any longer. When we still lived in that town, I ran for the town council one year, on a platform of less government and more personal responsibility. And though I didn’t win, I got a respectable number of votes for someone who had not lived their life there.
The mayor, with all the big plans, extended the town’s debt so much that the town almost ended up bankrupt. The mayor after him was a conservative and loyal American who had served in the Marines, but by the time he got elected, the town was so far in debt there was little he could do. I understand the current mayor is quite liberal, so we can kiss the unique Southern atmosphere of the town goodbye. It’s doubtful if it will ever return. It reminded me of the West Texas towns in some of Elmer Kelton’s novels about Texas. They were on the point of losing their unique Western identity because of what some “progressive” people wanted to do to and with them. Unfortunately, such situations are not unique to fiction. They exist in real life, and we have seen them acted out.
Right now, the South and its culture and identity are under constant attack. Southern monuments, symbols, and flags are almost everywhere denigrated where once they were honored and revered. If the South loses its identity, it will never get it back and it will end up being just another nonentity among the other nonentities in Wokedom. That seems to be where we are headed. I have talked with other Southern patriots who said they never thought they’d live to see what’s going on now, and I did not think I would, either, but I have – and it gives me no pleasure. I could weep for my adopted country!
All that has made her unique is being flushed down the sewer in a headlong rush to be like the rest of the country – something we should not want nor want to be partakers in. Both the South and the Far West have a unique heritage – something that should be preserved, not tossed aside. They are the only unique American cultures remaining and they must be preserved. We discard them to our own hurt and the hurt of our children!

We don’t live in a democracy based on freedom and human rights in which policy decisions are reached through a process of collective consensus about what’s good for the average citizen. Such systems are easily captured by plutocracy because everyone is for sale. In other words, long ago our system became a sham to conceal what’s really going on.
This group is comprised of characters who hate the average citizen. Contrary to being history’s #1 blameless victims, they’re actually downright nefarious. By their fruits ye shall know them, and I’d call the child trannies proof enough. There are many other glaring items, like endless warfare and mass migration to dilute Heritage America because this is a demographic that eventually turns on them every single time.
Somehow, for reasons that are perhaps divine, they can’t grasp that this sham is fundamentally unsustainable. That could explain why as the darkness gathers, they’re jettisoning the media operation that instilled complacency. From the entertainment side, that’s already happened. You can’t watch a decent television show or sporting event without everything being rubbed in your face.
Since cable news started, they’ve been pretty successful at convincing people there are two sides, just like the political system. That’s nonsense. Everyone works for them in both, which is why the general direction never changes.
Trump thought he could deviate from a script he must not have realized was official, and thus enforced. What we got was a color revolution and elections that are now “fortified” with mail-in ballots. He could easily finish up his life in state prison.
This is why the media scam is so crucial. It’s possible to fool most people. The vaccine saga demonstrates that the average person is frighteningly credulous. However, there has to be some acknowledgement of reality for this to work on a certain segment. That would be known as the political Right.
By acknowledging some truth, there can be a false dichotomy in which controlled opposition figures keep the Right on track by denouncing certain things that it really dislikes. For example, child trannies must be denounced to keep the Right supporting this figure as someone tuned into reason and decency. Meanwhile, every other vector of influence will be working to turn their children into trannies. The opposition rhetoric changes nothing, but it keeps people invested in the system.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson characterized white advocacy as a form of "Nazism" during a podcast with Adam Carolla released on Monday.https://t.co/gw1AQmESGy
— Chris Menahan (@infolibnews) April 4, 2023
For example, look at how this scam turned out with race. For decades, we were told by controlled opposition that Affirmative Action is bad, and the Republican Party can do something about it. People on the Right gave their support for this reason and what they ended up with was getting stripped of the right to defend themselves from black people who’ve been unleashed in a crime wave on America.
In terms of immigration, these figures have kept everyone complacent as the population undergoes dramatic change. They acknowledge that not having a border is insane, which is true. This garners support from people who think that this will be a path to stopping demographic change, so they adopt the only opposition position allowed: that they want immigration to be legal. Meanwhile, we get more of both.
The most important task of controlled opposition figures is to make sure that Heritage America never takes its own side or catches on to the fact that the government can’t represent them because it’s controlled by the plutocracy. Those are the two golden rules that govern these scumbags as they make millions of dollars on their path to Hell.
Keeping the scam going is a very challenging magic show at this point, the equivalent of trying to hide an elephant with a sleight of hand. The evidence they need to keep the Right from noticing is that overwhelming. Tucker Carlson was the best scumbag they’ve ever had by far.
That’s probably due to his writers. When he’s off script he sounds pretty dumb. In the interview above he says that nobody can claim to represent White people when we’re a minority (like somebody does with every single other group on this planet), he sounds like an idiot.
I saw another where he said that people should have more kids than they can afford. Clearly, he doesn’t understand what that’s going to entail. This is a guy from a very privileged background who has no idea what percentage of a modest income it costs for someone just to keep a kid safe at this point.
I’ve been to Farmington Country Club, where his daughter was accosted by a gay lunatic. It’s pretty damn nice but a membership is less than putting a few kids through private school every year. He clearly doesn’t know what poor White kids experience at a public school in a district that their parents can afford. Without those writers, I doubt he’s got much going for him at all in terms of common-sense rhetoric.
Anyways, his Fox News operation was the best thing the plutocracy ever had going for it in terms of controlled opposition. Trying to rebuild an audience of that size with his replacement is going to be very difficult, even if they’re keeping everyone behind the scenes in place. Firing him without even allowing a farewell broadcast makes him look even more like a hero.
I think the whole episode is great for anyone trying to point out the truth because one of our biggest problems is scumbags offering a substitute. Unfortunately, by offering the masses something, you can keep them on track to losing everything. That’s how things got this bad.
The good news is that the plutocracy has become so hysterical and insane since Trump was elected that they can’t allow it. They hate us so much that they’ve become blind to the utility of making concessions.
This is some justice for the American people and for @FoxNews viewers who’ve been manipulated and lied to for years, all in an attempt to boost the channel’s ratings and revenue.

There’s also an interesting angle to how this all came about. it seems that someone could’ve been slipped in there for a screw job. We certainly saw that with the Trump Administration. The ADL demanded he be fired, leading to a public feud in front of his entire audience which made them look terrible and didn’t work.
As we saw with Trump, they’ll find a way to get you gone. The more of a priority it is, the less of a constraint there will be on their behavior and concern about the blowback. Whether this theory about the screw job is true or not, it still makes them look awful. They are, so that’s a good thing.

Like I said, it’s all good news. Just like with Trump, they’d have been much better off leaving him with his job. The last thing either one of them would ever do is go after these people. They did their very best to make sure that none of their supporters did, either. Freeing ourselves doesn’t just involve us advancing the truth, but them squandering what they’ve stolen.
White shitlibs are ecstatic about this development. They think the entire Fox News network should be shut down because they’re the bad guys. The truth is that they are, but not for the reason these creatures believe.

When my friend and fellow parishioner Thomas Millary asked me to be a guest on his up-and-coming podcast, Psyop Cinema, I happily agreed. But because it’s a “film industry” show, I also had to pick a movie to critique – something that should kind of encapsulate my work at Dissident Mama, he advised. I’m not much of a movie buff, so I was at a loss for choosing a film.
But then my husband suggested that I tackle “Gone With the Wind” – oh, a film that that just so happens to be the highest-grossing film in history and is based upon one of America’s most popular books, second only to the Bible. No biggie, right?! My hubs and Thomas thought it seemed to be the obvious choice, so I deferred to their judgement. However, I knew I had my work cut out for me.
This is how Thomas describes my appearance on his show notes page: “Thomas speaks with Rebecca Dillingham, host of The Dissident Mama Podcast and blog and co-founder of the Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship, about the lies of the Yankee Empire. Rebecca gives her take on the psyops perpetrated by globalists and neocons that have distorted American history and demonized the South. We cover many aspects of the problem of puritanical political utopianism before discussing the nuances of ‘Gone with the Wind.’”
I don’t want to give any spoilers as to whether I think the film is “crypto-progressive” or not. I’d rather you take a listen for yourself to this conversation that I can confidently say is a pretty darn riveting.
But because the cinematic choice – the most highly influential film ever and a long one to boot (run time is just shy of four hours) – was immense, I not only watched GWTW for the umpteenth time, but I researched. A lot. And so I thought I would share with you some of my findings and sources and a few intriguing details that didn’t make their way into my deep-dive with Thomas. Enjoy!
My correspondence with two Southern stalwarts who happen to be Americana movie aficionados:
Dr. Boyd Cathey wrote to me that although GWTW was great from a movie-making perspective, it’s also “just one giant, never-ending soap opera, with Scarlet’s travails seeming to overwhelm and overshadow the South and the War (and Reconstruction) which became like background scenery. Yes, there are moments when the issues confronting the South – war, defeat, reconstruction policies – come alive, but I find them overshadowed and, if you will, overwhelmed, by the relationship between Scarlet and Rhett.”
“Don’t get me wrong here: obviously, any great film should probably have a personal thematic strand, developing relationships between the stars. GWTW does have those relationships, but in developing them, the Southern framework is, for me, too often submerged.” But to say “it is the ‘great film about the War’ is for me a stretch.”
Dr. Clyde Wilson agreed with Cathey that the film “has elements of soap opera.” However, he added, “In the general surrounding history, I think it is accurate and useful truth-telling. On the whole it is has been good for our cause. Remember, both book and movie were international sensations and still are. Just last night I saw a movie about Norwegian resistance fighters in WWII and one of them mentioned having cried at the movie GWTW.”
I had this movie poster hanging in my bedroom throughout my middle-school and high-school years.My visit to Margaret Mitchell’s grave and “The Dump” where she wrote her famous novel:
“Lyin’ Atlanta, part 1” corroborates Dr. Wilson’s comment above and explains that “both the Nazis and the Soviets outlawed the book since it was seen as a story of resistance to central authoritarianism, survival, and hope.” This essay also includes some background on Mitchell’s ancestry and the burning of her beloved home, Atlanta.
More on Sherman’s catastrophic campaign across Georgia and Dixie becoming “the stomping grounds of petty imperialists” can be read in “Puritans, part 4: Yankee sanctification.” Not only a stupendous novelist, but Mitchell was also a stellar amateur historian and said it best (and these lines from the book were included as title cards in the movie):
When Yankees began to descend upon Atlanta, “panic hit the city, helpless and unarmed … For 35 days, a battered Atlanta hung grimly on. … To split the Confederacy and to leave it forever crippled and humbled, the great invader marched leaving behind a path of destruction 60 miles wide from Atlanta to the sea … Tara had survived to face the hell of famine and defeat.”
My Puritans essay also happens to include this golden rhetorical nugget from Mitchell, who was very much a lady but never one to keep her opinions to herself: “[Yankees] are pretty much like Southerners – except with worse manners, of course, and terrible accents.” My guess is that Mitchell was also “high spirited and vivacious,” just the way Mellie described Scarlett.
A few lines that jumped out as me seeming to push tradition as untenable:
Rhett: “Look at these poor tragic people, the South’s sinking to its knees to never rise again … the cause of living in the past is dying right in front of us … sheer waste.”
Ashley: “The end of our world’s coming.”
Rhett: “Take a good look, my dear, a historic moment, you can tell your grandchildren how you watched the Old South disappear … we were going to lick the Yankees in a month … poor gallant fools.”
Rhett: “Maybe I’ve always had a weakness for lost causes once they’re really lost.”
Ashley: “Civilization’s crumbling … now I find myself in a world which for me is worse than death, a world in which there’s no place for me” … but I must stay for “honor.”
And of course the movie’s lead title card from where the book’s name originates: “Cavaliers and cotton fields … gallantry took its last bow … knights and ladies faire … master and slave … only in books … a dream remembered … a civilization gone with the wind.”
My myriad of sources:
First, of course, the movie itself, which is free on Archive.org and thankfully does not begin with this reconstructed “trigger warning” that accompanies other updated versions of the film. I, like so most others, have seen GWTW many times, so much so, that it has clearly become part of the fabric of America, the Southerner, and even womanhood, its phrases part of our lexicon, and its characters like family. But this time around, I watched the film much less passively and with a much keener eye. Just what is the story its selling?
Thomas was subjected to this title card which has been added to the beginning of many contextualized (read: reconstructed) versions of the famous flick.And the following articles and books helped guide me in my research and in formulating my opinions on GWTW.
• “Identity Politics and the Southern Gentleman”
• “Southern Identity in ‘Gone With the Wind’”

Don’t forget to check out my chat with Psyop Cinema, featuring both Thomas and co-host Bret Carolla. In fact, the episode with these two Carolina gents marked the 3-year anniversary of the launch of the Dissident Mama Podcast. So, here’s to three more years of taking on big topics and interviewing (or being interviewed by) people with such big brains, no matter the haters! Like Scarlett so aptly states, “As God is my witness, they’re not going to lick me.”
The post Oh, Just a Little Critique of the Biggest Film Ever! appeared first on Identity Dixie.
I was flipping around television on what I’d forgotten was the 30-year anniversary of the massacre in Waco, Texas. It brought back a lot of memories. I was born during the Reagan Administration. While we had some serious racial issues in my hometown, it still felt like things were on the up in America. After all, we’d recently triumphed in the Cold War.
I’d do this routine when my mother demanded I put a shirt on for supper.Most of the children born during this time had grandfathers who served in World War 2. Many of them had very humble backgrounds, but used opportunities offered by the GI Bill and the post-war economic growth to really succeed and provide good lives for their families. It felt like this actually was a place where one could make the most of himself.
The coolest thing I’d ever seen on television was us blasting apart Iraq with precision bombs a couple years prior. I think a lot of political dissidents had the same experience: Waco really shocked me because now Americans were getting the Iraq treatment.
My recollection was basically that there were a bunch of White people in the Middle of Nowhere, Texas not bothering anybody and then the government launched a military assault on them. This culminated in their building getting rammed with a tank and pumped full of gas in order to burn them all alive because the FBI lost patience with their refusal to surrender after harassing them day and night with noise for months. The creature orchestrating this outrage was Janet Reno, a bizarre lesbian type who looked like my PE teacher.
The justification essentially was that they had something to do with guns. Everybody I knew had guns. My favorite thing to wear to school was an NRA trucker cap. It was deeply disturbing hint that things were seriously amiss in the “Land of the Free.” In retrospect, there was a bit more going on.
Years after that, I remember we went over the massacre as a sort of case study. This colonel explained to us how David Koresh claimed to be the messiah, he’d go into tirades for hours while playing guitar and also have intercourse with everybody’s wives. His disciples were prohibited from performing this procedure themselves. Also, pedophilia stuff.
So, yeah, he wasn’t a great guy, and the authorities should have dealt with him. However, they could have done that by nabbing him when he wasn’t at his heavily armed doomsday compound and probably nobody would’ve been killed. The thing is, if there wasn’t a political mandate, no federal agency might’ve been looking into them in the first place.
Back in the Clinton Administration, they were already on a literal war path against White people who didn’t like the government. They were set up by informants and undercover agents on firearms charges, and dealt with using extreme force for things that weren’t even a big deal. The murder of Randy Weaver’s wife and son is absolutely infuriating. He was simply a guy who wanted to live in the Middle of Nowhere so he could be an unobstructed White man and his family could be left alone. Without an undercover agent to go all the way out there and solicit a transaction, they could still be doing just that.
This operation was called PATCON (Patriot Conspiracy). All the way back then, we were already living in a country that decided if you were a patriot, you were a problem. As outrageous as we find these more recent incidents like January 6th or the absurd Gretchen Witmer kidnapping plot, there’s a very strong precedent for this sort of treachery. Every single one (there are many) would appall anyone with a moral compass.
I’ve never once come across a single one of these “patriot conspiracies” that wasn’t orchestrated by federal law enforcement. They nearly always involve firearms transactions as well, because then they have the victim dead to rights on felonies that have nothing to do with the plot itself, which their lawyers would be able to point out was entirely cooked-up by the Feds. The result is that the Feds are able to get the headlines that the victim pled guilty after being charged with the plot. Every single time, without an informant or undercover agent (often multiples of both involved), there would’ve been no transaction.
I recently came across a story that emerged about 20 years later: “Within hours” after the Waco massacre, the Feds were headed to do another one in Tennessee. The problem was that they were worried about the bad press, and while they’d infiltrated this group and scouted the location with a Delta Force operative for an attack, these people hadn’t done anything wrong and couldn’t be entrapped into doing anything, either.
They’d been selected for destruction because they were White people with guns and bunkers in the Middle of Nowhere who wanted to be left alone. That was their transgression. So, why?
Most of these federal law enforcement types are just hired thugs who’ll brutalize whoever they’re told and congratulate themselves for serving their country. Most people also understand that when you leave others alone, you tend not to get problems out of them. Obviously, there’s no genuine national security priority behind this, either. The reason this continues to go on is the psychological animus of a small, specific group.
Everywhere and always, this group is able to set up shop by coopting the elite. The problem they consistently encounter is that after they’ve swindled, exploited, and abused the peasantry enough, the masses either force the elite to take action (this also makes a good excuse not to pay back loans) or take matters into their own hands. That’s the part that really frightens them.
It’s important to understand that they act out of long-held spiritual and historical hatreds. Just because nobody is going to do anything to them here, that doesn’t mean they don’t loath us and have a fear of us underlying their actions. We don’t think or feel this way, so it’s a counterintuitive principle to most.
These spasms are often exaggerated or outright fabricated. Still, the settling of accounts, shall we say, can be rather brutal. There’s a fear of that driving all of this, which can’t be articulated in honest terms just like every other aspect of their psychology and instruments of influence. They’re terrified of an armed and disgruntled Christian peasant because, throughout history, such characters have frequently been the instrument of God’s wrath against them. That’s why when we just want to be left alone, these people can’t do it.
Many, many such cases. The post Why They Hate Middle of Nowhere America appeared first on Identity Dixie.
At a used book sale back in the 90s, I came across Sexpionage: The Exploitation of Sex by Soviet Intelligence by David Lewis. That’s quite an interesting title, so I picked this hardcover edition for a dollar. An interesting read, I recommend it.
During the Cold War, the KGB would select girls in high school, who had no idea what was going on, and train them (the details are rather lurid, as one might imagine) in sensual tactics and spy craft. They’d seduce foreign leaders and officials, luring them to encounters in rooms that were rigged with recording equipment. The results would be used for blackmail. If one of them decided to defect, she’d be headed home in a suitcase.
It’s still on my shelf, but I’d forgotten about it until the media said that Trump was being blackmailed by Putin with Kompromat as part of the operation to steal the 2016 election. As it turns out, China was running some sort of operation on the Democrats. Projection has amazing explanatory value in official American discourse.

She’s the best we could hope for, really. The issues plaguing our country are so existential and insane that you couldn’t possibly get me to care about Chinese spying. I’m perturbed because this narrative about how the CCP controls Biden and all this other nonsense riles up the MAGA types who think there’s something left to save.
I’m not trying to bash these guys. Their hard work, hope, and credulity kept America running all these decades to get us right here, to the edge of the grave. Perhaps it’s just that I’ve never had a problem conceding that we’re totally screwed. Your sentiments aren’t relevant to whether something real is happening or not. I feel a compulsion to follow the facts.
Honestly, when I saw the line up of who this Fang Fang woman had to pleasure, I felt sympathy and a twinge of admiration for her patriotism. This was an agent devoted to China and willing to sacrifice herself to obtain whatever she was after. I wonder if those spy chiefs back in Beijing appreciated what she had to put herself through to get that dossier they’re reading.

As for whatever she was after, someone on the House Intelligence Committee could offer juicy tidbits about whatever neocon lunacy was going on at that moment. So, again, who cares? It’s very annoying that there’s a concerted media effort to get these MAGA people steered away from real grievances and towards griping about “the Biden crime family, controlled by the CCP.”
Just to name one, we’ve got the human equivalent of an asteroid belt floating around. It’s devoid of any agency whatsoever. Nothing can survive proximity to it, not even Walmart. It was the gold standard for an enduring institution in this terminally ill country. Eight of them are closing in Chicago because they steal so much the stores have been losing money the whole time.
Eastern Europeans and Asians I meet on business trips simply don’t have a comprehension of just how much damage a single one can inflict but asteroids have ended whole epochs. It’s difficult for them to fully appreciate just how many problems we have thanks to this belt of meddlesome minerals.
Many of the Europeans I’ve heard decry the gun violence in America seem to think it’s coming from mass shooters without understanding that four victims meet the statistical qualification, and these people will shoot into crowds without any hesitation. They even rap about this proclivity. Naïve foreigners think that number gets padded by rednecks trading gunfire with each other from their trailers.
And I present to you now, the parents of those rambunctious rapscallions we saw downtown last night.

I think drifting rocks is an appropriate analogy because they simply lack the impulse control and orientation towards the future that would help them appreciate the consequences of their course of action. It’s simply taken immediately without any mental deliberation. This has been proven repeatedly in testing, and the results of this combination are experienced by the general population every day. Has anyone ever restrained a floating rock? No, and the cops don’t bother to try anymore.
There’s also a large belt of teens floating between Mars and Jupiter.One of the things that lets you know there’s not much going on upstairs during these incidents would be the verbal discourse. An obscenity, usually the same two (“ho” or “bitch“), sometimes with modifiers attached, is shouted repeatedly as the fray transpires. Others will be filming, shouting some vernacular pronunciation of the word “shit” often with an exited “Oh!” or “Oooo!” in front of it. While our Christian publication refrains from profanity, these terms are repeated here purely for scientific purposes.
Somedays, I observe these collisions taking place and conclude to myself that the scenario described above will be how this country finally dies. I’m not a man of profound spiritual intuition, but I must admit to feeling a sense of disquiet on that level. What if they don’t get fed? That’s what you should be asking yourself.
The post Fang Fang, Bang Bang appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Author’s Note: This is the second part in a multi-part series in which I critique the rise of paganism within certain Dissident Right circles, listing the major reasons why I think paganism is a dead end for the Right and that it will only end in disaster.
The single most popular argument for the Dissident Right to embrace paganism is not so much a justification for modern paganism but rather a dissension against Christianity. Specifically, it is an anti-Christian message, and one that paints Christianity as a Jewish scheme to ensure the White race embraces suicidal values; thus, making White people easier to be controlled and marginalized by the Jews. The particulars regarding this argument differ from individual to individual, with some being more conspiratorial than others, but that is the general gist of their position. Unfortunately, this is perhaps the most common explanation and reasoning for a rightwing “pagan revival.” It is, however, also one of the weakest, failing on two major fronts.
The first and most obvious way in which this argument fails is very clear: if Christianity was some kind of Jewish plot to weaken European peoples, then it would stand to reason that Jews would vigorously promote Christianity and Christian values. But that is not at all what is occurring, while Christians oppose evils such as infanticide, sodomy, and transgenderism, Jews tend to embrace all three with great gusto. And it is not just the hot button social issues where we observe this deep division between Christians and Jews, but also on matters such as the place of religion within society. Jewish comedians, from Lenny Bruce to Sarah Silverman, frequently mock(ed) Our Lord and in the most perverse ways possible. Jews have constantly been a major secularizing force in society. The “secularizing activists,” of Catholic Cardinal Charles Chaput’s parlance, are disproportionally Jews. Not all are Jews, of course. It would be silly and self-defeating for us to act as if gentiles are completely innocent and every single Jewish person is guilty of this behavior. I frequently clash with those within the Dissident Right that believe every last Jew on earth is an evil, irredeemable person. Nonetheless, the leftwing shift in American society, especially since the end of World War II, has been largely driven by Jews (they will readily admit such).
This is not a new problem. The Talmud contains multiple blasphemes against Our Lord. According to the Talmud, Christ is boiling in excrement. The Talmud contains vitriol against the Virgin Mary, too, as she is depicted as a whore. None of this can, as the Left and (fake) Right often do, be attributed merely to a backlash against Christian persecution. The hatred of Christianity goes back to the very beginnings of Christianity. The Book of Acts makes it clear the Jews were the first to persecute the early Church. Meanwhile, Saint Paul noted what was happening in 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16:
For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own coutrymen, even as they have from the Jews, Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men; Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.
This section makes it clear that: (1) the Jews persecuted Christians, and (2) have taken an active position in prohibiting the Gospel from being spread. For us to imagine that Christianity is a Jewish plot, we have to imagine a multi-century game of reverse psychology whereby the Jews only pretended to hate Christianity in order to trick White people. Occam’s razor suggests this is implausible.
And this argument fails in its outcome, as well. Christianity did not weaken the White race; far from it, Christianity has historically been a source of great strength. The origins of this anti-Christian argument can be found within Enlightenment period thinking, in particular The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon, who describes Christianity as the force that sapped the life from Rome’s civic virtue. However, Gibbon was dead wrong. Rome fell for a multitude of reasons, and while the decline of civic virtue was a factor, it was far from the only one. Furthermore, Christianity was not the culprit, as Rome’s civic virtue started eroding long before Constantine legalized the religion. Additionally, the empires of Christian Europe far exceeded the empires of pagan Europe. Pagan Rome may have ruled the Mediterranean, but Christian Spain ruled an empire from California to the tip of South America. Pagan Greece ruled an empire that stretched to the Indus, but Christian Britain could boast that the sun was aways shinning on its empire.
If Jews really did create Christianity to weaken the White race, then they failed miserably. As much as I admire the Greco-Roman legacy, I must admit that the heights of Christian Europe were far greater than pagan Europe. Plus, White nations have gone through a rapid degree of secularization since 1945, and even more so since the 1960s, an era that has been marked by swift White decline. If Christianity was some kind of Jewish parasite on the White race, then we should expect to see an improvement in White nations as Christianity declines. In fact, we have observed the reverse: as Christianity declines, White nations decline with it.
No evidence, be it from the modern day or from antiquity, suggests that Christianity is a Jewish subversion of White ethnic identity. Jews have long been antagonistic towards Christianity, as seen in both the New Testament, the Talmud, and the actions of Jewish leadership today. Meanwhile, Christian Europe achieved far greater power than pagan Europe ever did. Also, the decline of Christianity has gone hand in glove with the decline of the West. I strongly reject the notion of only considering religion in terms of its utility, I am a Christian because I believe it to be true. But even if we take the utilitarian assumptions of the neo-pagan movement, paganism still fails to deliver.
The post Against Paganism, Part 2: Christianity is not a Jewish Plot appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Author’s Note: This is the first part in a multi-part series in which I critique the rise of paganism within certain Dissident Right circles, listing the major reasons why I think paganism is a dead end for the Right and that it will only end in disaster.
The first and most primary reason why I am not a pagan is simple enough – I am a Christian. I believe there is one God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe that God the Son came to earth in the form of a man named Jesus Christ, who is both fully divine and fully human. I believe that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary and came to earth to save sinners, whom I am one. I believe that He lived a sinless life but was unjustly executed, dying a cruel death on the Cross. However, on the third day, He rose again from the dead and ascended into Heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father.
I do not believe in the old gods of paganism. I do not believe that Jupiter, Thor, Morrigan, or any other pagan deity exists now or in the past, at least not in the same way they were assumed to have existed by the ancient pagans. They may very well have been a complete figment of their imaginations, similar to the Easter Bunny, but they also may have been demonic entities misunderstood to be “gods.” Additionally, I do not think Valhalla is an actual place; heaven or hell is the ultimate destination of mankind.
That is, in a nutshell, the single biggest reason I am not a pagan. I believe in the teachings of Christianity and do not think the old pagan gods existed, and certainly not as deities worthy of worship. Notwithstanding the spiritual issues with pagan worship, there is a political component, too. The political problem with paganism, and why it leads to a dead end for the Right, is that the vast majority of self-described modern “pagans” do not believe Odin exists, either. They may claim to be the “Soldiers of Odin” (or some other nonsense), but when challenged, they will fall back and claim that they do not actually believe in Odin. Instead, modern pagans view Odin as some sort of role model, looking up to him in the same way a young boy admires Bruce Wayne and Superman.
That is one of the biggest flaws of modern paganism, and why embracing it is suicidal for the Right. It is a fringe movement for edgy atheists and, more importantly, it cannot inspire the kind of fanaticism that is needed to save the West. The truly devout will always have a great advantage over the wishy-washy, and that devotion can topple empires. A great example were the wildly successful Arab Invasions of the 7th and 8th centuries. By any measure, this should not have happened. The Arabs were few in number and had no history of organizing into a polity, and they were going up against the great empires of late antiquity – Rome and Persia. But conquer they did, completely vanquishing Persia and driving Rome into its core territory of Anatolia. There are many reasons why the Arabs were so successful: they were skilled horsemen, well adapted to desert fighting, Arab migration into Persian and Roman territories helped, and, finally, the Romans and Persians were exhausted after centuries of fighting.
However, one aspect of Arab victory cannot be overlooked – to them, they were literally on a mission from God. This gave them the fighting spirit needed to forge their empire, and also made it much more difficult for the Roman strategy of late antiquity to work (namely, bribery and espionage). The importance of religion can be observed in how Arab culture was able to thrive post-conquest. What the Arabs did was not completely unprecedented, barbarian tribes have been able to overrun decadent agricultural societies before (see the Mongols). In the vast majority of cases, the barbarians eventually merge with the customs of the conquered culture/society. At most, a synthesis occurs, such as in the case of the Germanic-Classical mixture in the former Western Roman Empire. With the Arabs, they were able to supplant the old culture. They certainly were not going to change their religion, but language could also not be changed. Arabic is the literal language of God – it is mainstream Islamic belief that the Koran always existed, and hence why the vast majority of Islamic scholars are against translating it. And when they conquered, they conquered territories full of people weak in their faith. Much of the old Roman territory the Arabs conquered, and later Islamized, were strongholds of Arianism, and these people were resentful of being ruled by a Trinitarian government. They could not offer the resistance that the devout had, and this was fatal to the Roman war effort.
The point of this is not to defend Islam or suggest the Dissident Right should embrace Islam as its religion – they cannot happen under any circumstances. Rather, it is to demonstrate what the devout can achieve. Devout and fanatical Arab nomads brought down two of the greatest empires and ended the world of antiquity, forming a brand-new civilization in its wake. Only a people absolutely sure of their mission can attain such a task.
This is why paganism is such a bad idea for the Right – it is not the realm of the true believers, the spiritually dedicated. It is full of edgy atheists and, as such, does not have the devotion needed to complete the task at hand. And while there may be some within the Dissident Right that view Christianity in terms of pure social utility, this is by no means as common within paganism. “Paganism,” as it exists today, does not have the devotion needed to save the West.
The post Against Paganism, Part 1: I Don’t Believe in the Old Gods (And Neither Do You) appeared first on Identity Dixie.
The idea that “a State should be run like a business” should pain the soul of a Southerner like a sharp thorn in a soft foot. A people and their government have their origin in the will and act of a Holy God. Thus, both have Him as their goal and as the model of their conduct. To reduce the functioning of a State government, which is an inseparable part of the mysterious spiritual-physical body of the ethnos, to the operative principles of a mundane business, then, is grotesque and repulsive.
The bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church spelled out some of the foundational truths of nations and governments in a document they wrote as the 21st dawned titled The Basis of the Social Concept.
About nations, they provide the following:
“In addition to their sharing one religion, the unity of the people of God was secured by their ethnic and linguistic community and their rootedness in a particular land, their fatherland (II.1).
…
The universal nature of the Church, however, does not mean that Christians should have no right to national identity and national self-expressions. On the contrary, the Church unites in herself the universal with the national. Thus, the Orthodox Church, though universal, consists of many Autocephalous National Churches.
…
The cultural distinctions of particular nations are expressed in the liturgical and other church art, especially in the peculiarities of Christian order of life. All this creates national Christian cultures.
Among saints venerated by the Orthodox Church, many became famous for the love of their earthly homeland and faithfulness to it. Russian hagiographic sources praise the holy Prince Michael of Tver who gave his life for his fatherland, comparing his feat to the martyrdom of the holy protomartyr Dimitrius of Thessaloniki: The good lover of his fatherland said about his native city of Thessaloniki, ‘O Lord, if you ruin this city, I will perish together with it, but if you save it, I will also be saved’.
In all times the Church has called upon her children to love their homeland on earth and not to spare their lives to protect it if it was threatened. The Russian Church on many occasions gave her blessing to the people for them to take part in liberation wars. Thus, in 1380, the venerable Sergius the abbot and miracle-maker of Radonezh blessed the Russian troops headed by the holy Prince Dimitry Donskoy before their battle with the Tartar-Mongol invaders. In 1612, St. Hermogen, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, gave blessing upon the irregulars in their struggle with the Polish invaders. In 1813, during the war with the French aggressors, St. Philaret of Moscow said to his flock: If you avoid dying for the honour and freedom of the Fatherland, you will die a criminal or a slave; die for the faith and the Fatherland and you will be granted life and a crown in heaven.
The holy righteous John of Kronstadt wrote this about love of one’s earthly homeland: Love the earthly homeland… it has raised, distinguished, honoured and equipped you with everything; but have special love for the heavenly homeland… that homeland is incomparably more precious that this one, because it is holy, righteous and incorruptible. The priceless blood of the Son of God has earned that homeland for you. But in order to be members of that homeland, you should respect and love its laws, just as you are obliged to respect and really respect the laws of the earthly homeland.” (II.2).
In another section, they expound the nature of the state/government (bolding not added):
“God blesses the state as an essential element of life in the world distorted by sin, in which both the individual and society need to be protected from the dangerous manifestations of sin. At the same time, the need for the state aroused not because God willed it for the primitive Adam, but because of the fall and because the actions to restrict the dominion of sin over the world conformed to His will. Holy Scriptures calls upon powers that be to use the power of state for restricting evil and supporting good, in which it sees the moral meaning of the existence of state (Rom. 13:3-4) (III.2).
…
The Orthodox tradition has developed an explicit ideal of church-state relations… Attempts to work out this form were undertaken in Byzantium, where the principles of church-state relations were expressed in the canons and the laws of the empire and were reflected in patristic writings. In their totality these principles were described as symphony between church and state. It is essentially co-operation, mutual support and mutual responsibility without one’s side intruding into the exclusive domain of the other. The bishop obeys the government as a subject, not his episcopal power comes from a government official. Similarly, a government official obeys his bishop as a member of the Church, who seeks salvation in it, not because his power comes from the power of the bishop. The state in such symphonic relationships with the Church seeks her spiritual support, prayer for itself and blessing upon its work to achieve the goal of its citizens’ welfare, while the Church enjoys support from the state in creating conditions favourable for preaching and for the spiritual care of her children who are at the same time citizens of the state.
St. Justinian in his Sixth Novella formulates the principle lying in the basis of church-state symphony: The greatest blessings granted to human beings by God’s ultimate grace are priesthood and kingdom, the former (priesthood, church authority) taking care of divine affairs, while the latter (kingdom, government) guiding and taking care of human affairs, and both, come from the same source, embellishing human life. Therefore, nothing lies so heavy on the hearts of kings as the honour of priests, who on their part serve them, praying continuously for them to God. And if the priesthood is well ordered in everything and is pleasing to God, then there will be full harmony between them in every thing that serves the good and benefit of the human race. Therefore, we exert the greatest possible effort to guard the true dogmas of God and the honour of the priesthood, hoping to receive through it great blessings from God and to hold fast to the ones which we have. Guided by this norm, Emperor Justinian in his Novellas recognised the canons as having the power of state laws.
The classical Byzantine formula of relationships between state and church power is contained in the Epanagoge (later 9th century): The temporal power and the priesthood relate to each other as body and soul; they are necessary for state order just as body and soul are necessary in a living man. It is in their linkage and harmony that the well-being of a state lies.” (III.4).
In modern “American” politics, however, we get none of this beneficial understanding of human nature, history, etc. We get society reduced to a set of business propositions. Mr. Ned White is a candidate for Louisiana’s State Senate, and his statements on government are typical of the contemporary mindset:
“In short, Louisiana must be run like a business and the best way to ensure this goal is for people who run businesses, make payrolls, spend long hours building opportunities for all of people to be engage and involved in changing our state government.
…
I want Louisiana to run like a business for the customers of Louisiana (the taxpayers) and every tax dollar accounted for and every penny spent properly.
I’m a businessperson. I spend every day making business decisions to meet my overhead, build new business, create new opportunities, and give my customers what they want, when they want it, and how they want it. I want state government to work the same way.”
Folks, this is Yankee nominalism in full bloom here in our Southland – another Yankee conquest over true Southern culture, which is opposed to this kind of materialistic reductionism that makes men and women created in the image of God into nothing more than taxpayers and the Christian ethnos a money-making enterprise.
It is true that the South lived through an infidel era of her own from the late 18th to the early 19th century, but it was an aberration. From the established churches of the colonial and early post-independence years to more recent decades in which Southern State legislatures have passed laws to bring Bible instruction and public prayer back into public schools and to outlaw same-sex marriage and other perversions – Christianity has been a dominant force in Southern life for most of her existence.
This is reflected in her thoughts about government, too. Rev. Dabney in his formidable Defence of Virginia puts those thoughts into words:
“We trace civil government, then, not to any social contract, or other human expediency, but to the will and providence of God, and to original moral obligation. If asked, whence the obligation to obey the civil magistrate who, personally, is but our fellow, we answer, from God’s will, which is the source and measure of duty. Man’s will is wayward and depraved. Hence practical authority to enforce this rule of right upon him must be lodged in some hands; and since God does not rule statedly by miracle, it must be in human hands. Civil government is God’s ordinance, and its obligations are those of original moral right. The advantage and convenience resulting illustrate and confirm, but do not originate, the obligation. This is the theory of government plainly taught by St. Paul (Rom. xiii. 1 to 7) and St. Peter (1 Ep. ii. 13 to 18). For we are here told that the civil magistrate is God’s minister, to uphold right and repress wrong; that obedience to him in this is not only of moral, but religious obligation; and that he who resists this function disobeys God” (pgs. 251-2).
For Dixie, as for any other Christian land, government is not a business. It is an authority ordained by God, and must be approached and “run” as something sacred. Edmund Burke, despite some of his inclinations towards liberalism, is still capable of a moving and fairly accurate description of government and society that is very much in keeping with the Southern disposition (via Reflections on the Revolution in France):
“In this choice of inheritance we have given to our frame of polity the image of a relation in blood, binding up the constitution of our country with our dearest domestic ties, adopting our fundamental laws into the bosom of our family affections, keeping inseparable and cherishing with the warmth of all their combined and mutually reflected charities our state, our hearths, our sepulchres, and our altars.
Society is indeed a contract. Subordinate contracts for objects of mere occasional interest may be dissolved at pleasure — but the state ought not to be considered as nothing better than a partnership agreement in a trade of pepper and coffee, calico or tobacco, or some other such low concern, to be taken up for a little temporary interest, and to be dissolved by the fancy of the parties. It is to be looked on with other reverence; because it is not a partnership in things subservient only to the gross animal existence of a temporary and perishable nature. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born. Each contract of each particular state is but a clause in the great primaeval contract of eternal society, linking the lower with the higher natures, connecting the visible and the invisible world, according to a fixed compact sanctioned by the inviolable oath which holds all physical and all moral natures, each in their appointed place.”
The atheistic, utilitarian business model of human relations is unsound and un-Southern. It should be decisively banished from Dixie and replaced with her original Christian view of them, casting out all the Ned White’s and putting in their places every Prince Michael, Prince Dimitry, and King Alfred that we possibly can.

I’ve never planned a war before, but if given the task, there are basic metrics I’d expect. For example, artillery. How much of each piece is available? How many shells might each of these fire on average per day? Let’s take the highest estimate to be safe, then compare that to existing stocks and how much we can produce and supply to the front lines per month. That’s some simple math to do before the shooting you’re planning to provoke starts.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had to testify before Congress that “we’re learning” how many shells are required to fight a massive land war against Russia on its border. Nobody will get that job without going right along with the idiocy, so it makes sense from that angle, although it really is astounding.
I’d like to think I’d also have the integrity to resign and speak out if I was ordered undertake this endeavor due to its recklessness, horrific human cost, and guaranteed prospects of failure. I’d keep my conscience, my six-figure pension, and help my country avert catastrophe.
America has made colossal mistakes based on bad information in the past. For example, intervening in a Vietnamese civil war because we concluded that this was a battle ground in the USSR’s quest for global communism, and if it fell, more would be next. Unlike taking out every single country unfriendly to Israel, “Domino Theory” had a saleable logic to it.
Although misguided, the war was a winnable proposition, and we could produce what was needed to fight it. We lost because global public opinion wouldn’t tolerate the massive amount of civilians who’d be killed if we ramped up the bombing enough to bring the North to its knees. It wasn’t always failure, though.
NATO was actually a good idea. It set up an alliance to defend Western Europe from the USSR, thus deterring a conflict. George F. Kennan, one of the primary architects of the policy to contain the Soviets, was horrified that it was being expanded towards Russia and warned they’d eventually take action.
Kennan also opposed the bombing of Serbia and the laughable justification for invading Iraq, but by that time he was an old man on the sidelines. Nobody with a Scots-Irish background was making policy. Instead, full control had been captured by a group of people without reason or restraint. Things are now run by the neocons who attend religious services on Saturdays. They have a religious imperative to seek total domination of the planet.

These people can’t even seem to comprehend that tools can be abused to the point where they don’t work anymore. To them, Heritage America is a mass of disposable cattle without souls whom they hold in contempt. Policy is made accordingly, but they also try to use us as a tool for their global agenda.
It’s worked before but we’ve been exploited and abused for so long that we’re no longer a population capable of fighting a huge conflict. The industrial base of America, and the middle-class it sustained, has been so hollowed out that we don’t even have the ability to sustain one either.
Perhaps one aspect of the path to Hell is that people can’t see they’re on it. There’s no way to win a war against Russia or China, and if we’re making progress at it, they’ve promised to use nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, the supply chain shutdowns entailed in a conflict with China would plunge this country into chaos. But, they keep pushing. It’s a kind of insanity that could only be biblical in its explanation.

Even Putin literally says that Russia is at war with “satanism.” The neocons aren’t even capable of desisting from a plot that’s failed. One of their dogs is now coming out with a new moniker to market the same strategy.
America's next president should be thinking in grand-strategy terms. It's time for modern-day NSC-68 – Truman's foundational document of U.S. Cold War strategy. The U.S. and its allies can't afford to drift aimlessly as history's tectonic plates shift. https://t.co/MBcvKgLeu8

There’s nothing new about it. Basically, a massive expansion of NATO and military spending. He wants a NATO-type organization for Asia, and Taiwan to be armed to the teeth. He asserts that the Russian/Chinese partnership can be broken up, along with the Russian Federation, after Putin is toppled following defeat in Ukraine. The Chinese can be induced to screw Russia over by offering them an eastern part of the federation. They’ll also be excluded from influencing the Middle East. So, basically this is how a new Cold War will be set up with China as the enemy this time around.
Bolton is being trotted out to propose a strategy fundamentally untethered from reality. First of all, the Russians aren’t losing. The situation in Ukraine will be resolved to their satisfaction. It could fall apart very quickly, but Bolton can keep lying until it does.
Second, the U.S. has sown death and destruction across the Middle East for over 20 years. China has been able to come in and set up a peace plan that acknowledges the interests of all sides. It’s introducing the use of the yuan and integrating the region with the Belt & Road Initiative. Overthrowing the governments that made these deals because they’re in the self-interest of their countries with leaders who want to get back to the old agenda that only serves Israel isn’t going to work.
Bolton is just a barking dog for these psychopaths. What makes his article interesting is that it seems they’re at least acknowledging that a kinetic war with China isn’t feasible, so it’s better to organize a coalition for a new Cold War against it. At the end of this, China would presumably be digested even though that never worked with Russia.
It also shows that they simply can’t back off from Russia no matter what happens in Ukraine. Thus, Bolton’s implication is that we’ll have a hot war and then a long cold one. In the end, his masters will get the total domination they’ve been seeking all along. I suppose this is how they’re salvaging the narrative without making any concession to reality about how badly things are going for them.

Brothers and sisters, have you ever been tempted to give up the fight? Have ever been so weary that you just want to rest? I’m sure you have, as have I. We’ve all been frustrated by the disinterest of too many of our people in securing a Southern future for our children.
I’ve heard friends, good friends, express that they don’t believe anything will change; or worse, truly believe that everything will continue to go in the direction of our godless enemies. That just burns me up! But honestly, I’ve had those feelings before. When you feel this way, sit and ask yourself – why you are even involved in what some might say is hopeless? Then imagine dogwoods, azaleas, and cherry blossoms in bloom. Ahh…how beautiful.
In a past life, I was somewhat of a musician, playing many different instruments, on many different stages. I even could sing a fairly decent tune, back in my day. Did I play or sing for the applause of the crowd? Not really, although it is always nice when someone enjoys my talent. But I did it because I love music, simply for its beauty, and wanted to be part of expressing that beauty to a listening crowd, to my own ears, or just to the wind.
Our mission is the same, to preserve beauty, and that beauty is Dixie. So, sing of her, speak of her, talk of her, write about her, and do it because she is beautiful, even if you are her only admirer.
Below is a poetic attempt to capture that spirit.
“The Minstrel”
The minstrel played,
To gather a crowd.
But no one came,
So, he played very loud.
‘Why did they not come?’
He thought to himself.
He sadly pondered,
To place his lute on the shelf.
Then he had another,
A thought to think beyond.
‘Maybe it was the tune?’
That the people frowned upon.
So, he changed his tune,
In hopes they would hear.
But no one cared to listen,
Now here’s the moral, my dear.
If you play to the crowd,
Then to them you belong.
And the crowd is always fickle,
So they won’t stay very long.
But if you play for the beauty,
For the tune in your heart,
No matter if there is a crowd,
The music will not depart.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

After a Kemp victory last November, Georgia’s political future has become clearer. While many people called Georgia a “blue state” after the Trump/2020 fumble, it’s now been proven that the Peach State still has enough genuine Georgians to keep an anti-White zealot like Stacey Abrams out of the governorship. Georgia’s monuments largely still stand intact, a new anti-child sex change bill (SB 40) has passed, the “Heartbeat” law has successfully returned, and gun rights have been expanded. On the other hand, long-term demographic issues are not looking great for Georgia; and due to the slow rising tide of liberalism, it’s imperative for Georgia to secede before the next gubernatorial election. At this point, the necessity for secession and state sovereignty has already been discussed at length on this site; thus, I will focus on what a Free Georgia could become once we exit the godless American Empire.
A major component of a Free Georgia will be ensuring that Southerners (bonafide Georgians) are running and managing the state. Enacting the county unit system in all statewide elections will be critical. This is a topic that has been discussed by the Georgia League of the South and at Identity Dixie but, nonetheless, it’s an important step to curtail the carpetbagger-dominated Metro Atlanta region and its growing political power. After the county unit system is reinstalled, something easily done without imperial domestic meddling, leftist Atlanta will have very little strength against a Southern Nationalist Georgia.
Once a Free Georgia has “caged the city bird” and liberated herself from the Empire, we can look forward to challenging the neocons (essentially a good ole boy system but without any loyalty to native Georgians) within the General Assembly. This won’t be as difficult as many imagine, as the voting paradigm would be drastically simplified and much more pragmatic with the implementation of the county unit system. This means a handful of Southern Nationalists could convince a squeamish representative to push for pro-Southern policies. It’s during this period that Southern Nationalist advocates would focus on restoring, and then solidifying, Georgia’s pro-Dixie cultural and social foundation.
For starters, one should look at the vast potential of Stone Mountain located outside of Atlanta. This is something unique to Georgia and the largest (currently) monument to the South’s efforts in the War for Southern Independence. In a Free South and Free Georgia, the monument in the park could properly be cleansed of anti-Southern political correctness and turned into a full tribute to the Old Confederacy. Imagine Confederate flags, and even new statues of heroes of the Confederacy, arranging the park in full glory? During every Confederate Memorial Month, the park could become a mecca for Southerners, not just in Georgia, but across all Dixie. The park should likely be given management to the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), and despite not being perfect, could manage a pro-Southern atmosphere greatly. A fully Southernerized and even expanded Stone Mountain Park, with more museums and Confederate iconography, could really fire up the cultural independence in the South. Even smaller, less direct ways could be used to push the Southern cultural identity in Georgia – such as codifying our own “Groundhog Day” by refocusing the holiday explicitly around Georgia’s groundhog, General Beauregard Lee. There are many more creative ways Georgia Southern Nationalists could push and achieve cultural strengthening post-political independence. While many scoff at this as “impossible,” it’s only impossible if we lack the leadership, vision, and political will to accomplish it.
This re-Southernization movement would be much easier to achieve due once the Democratic Party has been politically neutered. With the county unit system back in place and a federal government out of the way, Georgia could manage herself in a true Southern manner. As for a military, we could easily morph whatever remains of the Georgia National Guard into a new “Army of Georgia,” fastened with the old 1956 Georgia flag as their battle colors. Obviously, this new unit would be used for home defense. I’m sure in the immediate years after independence, Georgia will increase funding to the new Georgia Military Institute in Marietta, one which was destroyed by Sherman’s army in 1864, to train a new officer corps loyal to Georgia. In all military matters, the state should seek to be self-sufficient and ready to defend her independence against any threats.
This brings me to the idea that many also have – that Georgia is a purple or “non-White” state; thus, the Left would “rebel.” In truth, I could envision a few violent riots in Atlanta, like we saw with “Cop City” but the new “Army of Georgia” would quickly and efficiently remove such threats. Antifa cowards will flee Georgia for whatever American Union will remain, followed by many leftists urbanites who won’t want to live in a Free Georgia. The idea of Georgia being a leftist-controlled state is a danger and it will happen if we do not leave the American Empire. Ironically, it is rather interesting that the people with the most hate for Georgia are “America Firsters,” still sore that Georgia rejected Trump’s efforts to control the governorship. In truth, Georgia’s issues are many but still manageable, especially when we turn off the foul-smelling sewage line coming from the imperial capital.
Secession doesn’t cure everything for Georgia, but it will open the door for a better future and actual cures for our social, economic, and political ills.

Beautiful Loser Syndrome (BLS) is when someone does something that they know will result in defeat because to do otherwise would allegedly violate their moral principles. “I’d rather lose than win by playing dirty,” is the often the refrain. Sufferers of BLS pride themselves on things like “sticking to their guns” and “taking the moral high ground.” Many of them imagine themselves as the type of person who may not agree with what someone says but will defend to the death their right to say it. In other words, it’s capitulating but being a snob about it. Given that you are a reader of this fine and august website, you’re intelligent enough to have already surmised that I’m talking about the Grand Old Party.
BLS is most often present when the person in question believes they are operating in hypothetical terms and realms, is lazy, a coward, or a liar who uses BLS as a pose. One of my most well-worn hobby horses is that when a group of people is doing something, there is generally some mix of motivations. Even at the individual level, someone can have multiple reasons for doing something, although one may weigh more heavily than others.
When it comes to those people who think they’re dealing purely in hypotheticals, they treat politics like a debate between Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris. Nothing about either of their lives is really going to change based on the debate outcome, barring a couple days where clips of the debate get passed around niche social media platforms. They see it as verbal jousting with a friend, as opposed to making decisions about the lives other people.
The GOP does the exact same thing with politics. They view arguing over legislation as a fun mental exercise, but they won’t go as hard as Democrats (because it’s rude or against decorum). They may lose the argument and the piece of legislation their debate team was told to argue against gets passed, but for most of them it doesn’t change their lives. They’ll still go back to their tawny DC townhouse until the session is over, then go back to their even snootier, upscale dwelling in, or at least near, their district. They don’t consider the consequences of things like inflation because, for them, it isn’t real. The price of food doubling doesn’t really change what their servants buy because their grocery bill is an insignificant fraction of their legal income. Not to mention all the bribes, kickbacks, sinecure jobs for their families, etc. It’s easy for them to look down their noses at those cheaters in the other wing of the Uniparty and comfort themselves (and their voters) by talking about how they didn’t compromise their values.
The lazy and the cowardly can be lumped in together, because they’re both using BLS for the same purpose. They can stand tall, proud of the sacrifice they’ve made for their voters because they didn’t stoop to the level of the people who actually won. They’re losing on purpose, you see. The lazy don’t want to go through the work of coming up with some opposing legislation, debate it on the floor, work with the other party, etc., so they simply refuse to compromise on moral grounds they actually have no interest in holding. They just don’t feel like doing their job. The cowards aren’t brave enough to have their names attached to a piece of legislation or some action, because it would mean they have now gone on record with a particular opinion. When that opinion becomes unpopular, they must defend it and that’s just too darn tough for those delicate flowers. Men far wiser than I have explained the cowards perfectly when discussing libertarians. They take the sidelines and pretend it’s the high ground.
The liars do the same thing but use BLS as a shield. They are no more interested in conservatism or protecting their constituents than a fish is fascinated by a telescope. These are the Republicans who are on the way to becoming “mavericks,” “moderates,” or one of the other euphemisms leftists use when describing a Republican that votes with the Democrats on everything (looking down into Hell at you, John McCain). They are simply at the point in their traitorous evolution where they’ll work to sabotage things, and then lie about their intention. These are either leftists who ran as Republicans because they were in a red district, or people who’ve been bribed and blackmailed into being liberal operatives in an elephant mask.
The lazy and cowardly can be cajoled or shamed into doing what’s right and the liars are a lost cause. The most dangerous form of this particular brand of idiot is the high-minded philosopher. They’re the ones who often lead the charge, allowing the lazy and cowardly to simply agree with them and sit back down. These political speculators often give the liars a position to take, with the additional insulation of not doing it first. They will allow their enemies to lead committees because it would just be mean to do otherwise. Attaching a poison pill rider to a bill is just playing dirty and that’s not “who we are,” or so they tell us. It isn’t hard to find examples of Lincoln’s Party failing, when they easily could have done one of 50 things Satan’s Party has done to change a rule or piece of legislation in the previous six months.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The only people who see these losers as beautiful are themselves. The enemy doesn’t even pay them lip service for their capitulation. They simply view them as conveniently weak and deserving only of derision. Most of the time, their reaction is the same irrespective of whether the Republican in question capitulated or resisted. This isn’t to say the enemy doesn’t appreciate the utter lack of effective resistance. Everyone likes an opponent who ties one hand behind their back and surrenders as soon as the fight starts. They just have no respect for it. Their constituents don’t cheer for their defeat, self-righteous and intentional though it may be. In fact, nobody really likes the Beautiful Losers, except maybe the wealthy donor-class and, of course, their opponents.
It was pointed out that states with bolder Republicans tend to be ones where the margin of victory for the Party of Stupid tends to be much smaller. I think this is because the representatives don’t have the luxury of being a shoo-in for re-election. When a state is basically run by one party, the threat of the other party taking a seat is low. When an “elected” official does what they’re told, they don’t have to worry about getting primaried, either. When there’s a chance that a state can actually change what color it is on the electoral map or a seat isn’t so sure a thing, the politicreature has to work a little harder and actually differentiate itself from the other team. It goes back to a lack of consequences and being able to treat it like it’s all one big game.

The war in Ukraine was over before it started. This has nothing to do with the Ukrainian people – most of whom I believe to be good folks. Rather, this has everything to do with a hyper dependence of Eastern Europe on the United States for its protection, and the inability of the U.S. to keep its promises of that protection. The fact is, the United States is neither functionally nor strategically capable of large-scale warfare for any sustained period of time. It is not a matter of will or money. It is a matter of logistics. The following article will explain the logistical reasons why Russia was always going to win its military and geostrategic objectives in Ukraine, thanks to American limitations. Poland, Hungry, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Finland, etc. – this article is for you.
Before I begin, I have worked in both Ukraine and Russia. My counterparts in both countries were extraordinary. This was especially true of my aviation colleagues, at companies such as Volga-Dnepr, where I would routinely utilize AN-124s and IL-76s for my large-scale Middle East, African, Central and Southwest Asian intermodal air-sea-ground projects. This goes back to my military and government contracting days during the height of the Afghan and Iraq Wars. I have nothing against either people. I do, however, support Putin’s war with Kiev for a number of reasons that I have covered in the past on Identity Dixie. I pray for a rapid peace in that which will remain of Ukraine. Hopefully, the Ukrainian people can discharge the yoke of foreign intrigue and globalist manipulation in the aftermath of this war.
Returning to the reason Russia was bound to win this war with Ukraine, the answer is simple: the United States is not structurally designed for a protracted war requiring copious amounts of materials. In essence, the U.S. abandoned its logistical superiority after the Vietnam War. There are both strategic and practical reasons for this shift in military thought. This requires an historic understanding of the origins of this shift and why the United States is ill-equipped to fight modern, 21st Century wars.
From 1861 – 1945, the U.S. military relied on logistical superiority to win wars. Whether it was the extensive use of railways and Northeastern production, or the ability to gain early port dominance, the Union largely won the war because it was able to quickly get men and materials into key locations and then use that numerical superiority – most often haphazardly – against Confederate forces. This concept was expanded when future Rear Admiral/then Captain, Alfred Thayer Mahan, U.S. Navy, wrote The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660 – 1783.
Mahan’s book, which focused on the ability to dominate Sea Lines of Communications (SLOCs) and enjoy strategic dominance on a global scale, compelled an emerging American Empire to annex Hawaii and go to war with Spain to both eliminate a foreign Caribbean threat and simultaneously expand American influence in the Philippines. This dominance of its own regional waters, as well as, an expansion of power in the Pacific was forward thinking for the time. It saw an emerging Asia – specifically Japan – as a threat to its long-term strategic needs. Correspondingly, American political manipulation within Colombia led to the creation of a new country, Panama, and a new canal, designed to facilitate the transference of naval assets between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. This also sped the transfer of large-scale cargo from coast to coast for a new transcontinental power.
World Wars I and II were definitive expressions of American logistical might. The ability to outproduce and transport materials to Europe or (WWII) Asia, ensured an American victory in both wars. Fresh men in World War I were important, but the added fuel, aircraft, food, and mechanized vehicles empowered the remainder of the Triple Entente to steal a victory from Germany on the eve of its victory. In World War II, the Soviet Union, which is often credited with winning the war, could not have succeeded without the Lend-Lease Act. Both Nikita Khrushchev and Georgy Zhukov stated as such in subsequent years. The American ability to arm, equip, and feed the Soviet war machine from 1941 – 1945 empowered the communists to defeat the German Nationalists (and their allies) on the Eastern Front.
During the war in Korea, Halford John Mackinder’s Heartland Theory – effectively the Eurasian dominance concept – directly clashed with Mahan’s naval dominance theory. The ability of the Communist Chinese and the Soviet Union to send men and materials quickly to North Korean forces, or sometimes fight on their behalf, caught a less-committed American/United Nations force off-guard. The end result was a yet-to-be resolved stalemate. This was the beginning of the end of an American reliance on logistical dominance as a function of strategic planning. In effect, the Americans provided little to no solution on its reliance upon extended supply lines to counter a much larger conventional force with matched production capacity closer to the war theater.
Vietnam marked the end of a reliance on American logistics superiority to win wars. During Vietnam, the Robert McNamara-led Department of Defense was able to overwhelm Vietnam with men and materials. In this regard, the U.S. learned some lessons from Korea as it pertained to the use of forward air bases and regional supply missions to ensure material support for combat functions. Where it failed was a misunderstanding of the nature of the conflict. An outstanding book entitled The War Managers, by Douglas Kinnard, highlights the disconnect between senior commanders in Washington, D.C., and local commanders dealing with the realities of a protracted guerilla war. The lessons extrapolated from that war would eventually become that which would be called “The Weinberger Doctrine.”
In 1984, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, Casper Weinberger, effectively codified American strategic thought through a series of questions and answers that can best be summarized as the following: (1) is this in America’s best interest to engage in conflict; only commit forces to such conflicts; (2) only commit to wars in which there is a complete commitment to winning; (3) political and military objectives should be clear and set from the beginning – achieve them and withdraw; (4) continually reassess military needs, committing troops and materials to victory, while simultaneously reevaluating if the cost of combat still serves American strategic priorities; (5) political consensus of the American people and Congress must be assured – do not go into a war without them; (6) combat should always be a last resort.
The Powell Doctrine would effectively add to this “international support” and an “exit strategy.” Ultimately, the Weinberger Doctrine and the refined Powell Doctrine would lead to that which could best be described as a new American strategic embrace of blitzkrieg. A combination of inter-departmental cooperation by virtue of the Goldwater-Nichols Act and a new U.S. Special Operations Command emerging from the disastrous Operation Eagle Claw led to a different type of warfare – fast, politically controlled, and designed for immediate post-operation withdrawal. Desert Shield/Desert Storm was the ultimate culmination of a new American strategic paradigm.
However, some lessons of Desert Shield were completely ignored due to its success. When Iraq swept into Kuwait on 2 August 1990, then President George H. Bush laid down an ultimatum. When that ultimatum was ignored, the President ordered the U.S. Army’s XVIII Airborne Corps into Saudi Arabia on 7 August 1990, led by the elite 82nd Airborne Division. For the next three days, soldiers from the 82nd ate Burger King – the only available food and water available to them beyond the one MRE they each brought as a ready response. It was not until U.S. Navy supply ships, prepared for sustained Marine Expeditionary Units arrived, that the 82nd achieved independent water resources and ammunition in excess of thirty total rounds per soldier. American military planning has grown significantly worse since that time.
After the end of the Cold War, the United States military chose to outsource its long-term military logistics infrastructure through two primary contract mechanisms. In part, this was always the case through the U.S. Merchant Marines (distinct from the Marine Corps). The ability to effectively commandeer commercial vessels for military purposes has been a long-standing tradition in Western military service for centuries. What changed, however, was the nature of disaggregated production and distribution control. This is where my personal experiences allowed me to witness American military logistics inefficiencies firsthand.
The two primary means of transportation augmentation for distribution needs are the Civilian Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) program and the Universal Services Contract (USC) for ocean transportation. Ocean is the more cost effective and efficient means of transporting larger scale material needs. Air is better suited for speed when cost is not a determining factor and materials are small enough to fly safely. Where these two break down are global capacity and intermodal coordination.
CRAF is hamstrung by the fact that it is a uniquely American program with very few international freight aircraft available within the program. The types of aircraft are limited based on distance and capacity. Companies such as Southwest, a CRAF partner, may be able to augment the fleet with available aircraft from a company like Lynden International – which has older C-130s operating out of Alaska – but the limitations outweigh the benefits. National Air Cargo or Kalita can only service so much in a contractor role – and then they need to have the staff available to manage loading, load masters, pilots, and additional resources to unload. Even when they get to that point, the imperial military is not equipped to manage ground transportation. An overreliance on regional truckers eventually facilitates new contract arrangements to fill this gap – which is primed for exploitation, theft, and simple cultural miscues. The U.S. military is then placed into the position of either burdening the air transportation company with finding ground facilitators or directly contracting with them.
Since the former is easier than the latter, the result is yet an additional layer of disconnect between the strategic needs of the U.S. Department of Defense and the local unit operators supplied through entities like the Defense Logistics Agency or the U.S. Army’s Surface Deployment and Distribution Command. I was the primary ground facilitator in Afghanistan and elsewhere – coordinating between ocean vessel operators, air operators, truckers, hydraulic operators, and enhanced in-transit visibility (EITV) supply tracking entities from 2010-2017 on the ground in more than a dozen countries. At one point, nearly 75% of all cargo exiting Afghanistan moved through my hands in some way. The system is a mess and every time a new suggestion was gaining traction, a commander would get changed and the process would start all over. But it gets worse…
In addition to the capacity restrictions placed on the CRAF program, ocean vessel operators (USC) were at an additional disadvantage through the demand for U.S. Flag Vessels (e.g., Jones Act compliance), which are very rare due to regulatory and insurance reasons, and stevedoring issues at commercial ports. Unlike aircraft, which can fly into and out of friendly air bases, the ocean vessel operators had to deal with commercial operators at often unfriendly countries to facilitate the supply needs of the U.S. military. The local union in Karachi, for example, cared very little about the supply needs of the Marine Corps on Camp Leatherneck. Even when I would personally get those issues resolved, a new level of complexity would emerge: diplomatic note/cargo.
Since imperial war supplies are technically government owned materials, they are required to undergo the importation process of the countries they seek to transit in order to bypass tariff payments. This would manifest all over the world – whether I was working in Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, or Latvia. Transborder crossings needed paperwork to facilitate deeper supply chain deliveries. Even countries that had direct seaports, such as Djibouti or Iraq, maintained control of their own customs clearance processes that were rarely a priority of the diplomatic staff at the resident U.S. Embassy. Consequently, if you wanted to land armored vehicles into Iraq as part of a training program for the new Iraqi Army, you would need diplomatic clearances to make that possible. But it gets worse, and this is where the U.S. military is incapable of supporting its allies during protracted periods of conflict.
The U.S. military designates cargo “White” and “Green.” Contractor cargo (White) and U.S. military assets (Green) follow separate process requirements and regulatory hurdles. The vast majority of consumption by the American military is White cargo – meaning that the contractors providing the materials are required to ensure the items are delivered to the final recipient, usually at a predesignated distribution facility that is often down range. This could be a mundane product – like toilet paper – to Fort Leonard Wood or it can be a sophisticated blue water Navy component to Diego Garcia. The manufacturer is often tasked with delivering the product to ensure payment (using an antiquated INCOTERM called “FOB Destination” on Contractor Line-Item Numbers – CLINs). In some cases, the terms of the contract may allow for the use of military logistics assets for hard-to-reach areas. Often, however, that is not the case.
The U.S. military does not have a centralized production facility. It outsources production to private companies. That is good. It increases production proficiency. However, it can create supply bottlenecks when those companies are asked to increase production to facilitate immediate demand for a host of reasons – from raw material availability to local labor constraints to licenses. The end result is that an unforeseen increase in production may take six-to-twelve months to meet demand. Winding down production at the end of an engagement can get costly, too. Exit strategies are difficult for private production facilities to meet when they are financially constrained by debt covenants that tie them to production quotas. This has an upstream impact on raw material availability and a downstream impact on transportation/distribution options. None of this is accounted for by senior military officers who are tasked with getting “stuff” into theater – but they are major concerns for the defense contractor.
To put it another way: banks lend money to companies that get new U.S. government contracts. The money continues to flow as long as the accounts receivable (AR) receipts show money will be coming from the U.S. government at some point to pay the tab. The U.S. government requisition process and contracting restrictions place the burden of delivery on the contractor. Thus, from the moment a contract is initiated to the point at which the production company is paid, it may take several months or potentially a year. Meanwhile, the contractor is covering a string of costs and attempting to anticipate the government client’s consumption. When that consumption suddenly ends, AR ends as well, which immediately limits access to capital. The company is then stuck attempting to pay the remaining bills with tightening capital availability. The slowed payments begin to create hesitancy for service and material suppliers. Thus, all of the parties tend to enter U.S. government contracts seeking to front load the costs as best as possible and keep a finger over the “stop” button out of an abundance of caution. All of this harms supply availability for the U.S. military. Of course, the American military never considered working with the banks to overcome this constraint because they do not understand it. But it gets worse…
Even the most cash flush companies still find themselves often wrangling with export procedures that are obscenely burdensome. For something like ice cream or underwear, it is simply a matter of an Automated Export System (AES) filing. But for companies building munitions or weapons systems – such as Raytheon, BAE, or Sikorsky – they have the additional hurdle of securing, processing, and maintaining export licenses. Again, the U.S. military does not have to deal with the DSP-5 or DSP-73 process. Meanwhile, despite the fact that the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) at the U.S. State Department is a governmental agency knowledgeable about the strategic missions of the U.S. DOD or government in general, it does not mean that the license issuing authority will move quickly. Added to this complexity are other governmental agencies (OGAs) that may be involved, such as the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and now you have new hurdles to consider. But it gets worse…
After getting through the maze of export control regimes, there is a good chance that the importing body on the other side of the world may have additional protocols. Imports into Francophone West Africa of electronic and aeronautical materials will require a Bureau Veritas approval… small arms ammunition or weapons may violate Wassenaar Arrangement restrictions embedded in Romanian import regulations… labeling instructions for United Nations agreed nomenclature for hazardous materials may need to be reviewed and will restrict ground transportation… the fact is, the United States military does not have to deal with any of these concepts when it is moving Green cargo, while White cargo is subjected to every single regulatory hurdle with additional hurdles to comply with Diplomatic Cargo for tariff free importation.
Then, after all of that, the commercial agents still need to arrange domestic transportation for the movement of cargo to the war theater or the military base. This requires ensuring there are no violations of Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Denied Parties or Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations as it pertains to bribes. If the product is not stolen in transit, the goods finally arrive. Only then can the invoice get cut – and the clock on advanced payment terms begins.
No one has ever done a substantive top-to-bottom and longitudinal study of the complexities of producing and moving commercially sourced war materials from resource identification to production to delivery – and all of the constraints therein. There is no urgency for such a study or understanding the process because it is entirely outsourced.
A politician makes a judgement call: “Go help Ukraine.” A general accepts the mission, then tells his partners: “Go help Ukraine.” A lower ranking general along, with a few field officers, determine that Ukraine needs X, Y, and Z. They tap into bureaucrats called Contracting Officers (“KOs” / not “COs” to avoid Command Officer confusion) or Contracting Officer Technical Representatives (COTRs) to work with GSA counterparts or other entities to identify suppliers. They issue contracts to suppliers and effectively say: “Send us the bill when you deliver the cargo.” Contractors of varying sizes and scopes begin working on the operation – with varying degrees of success or failure.
Summarizing the complexity of relying on the U.S. military to service the needs of U.S. strategic missions overseas: the American military may be able to provide short-term immediate assistance using its internal and externally contracted transportation options, but the majority will be facilitated by private enterprises that are dependent on extended supply lines and crippled by excessive regulatory hurdles. Not a single American politician has ever considered a blanket provision for wartime exports to meet strategic objectives despite almost two continuous decades of war that relied on external vendors to supply the U.S. military’s needs and not a single senior military commander ever asked them to consider such a provision!
In sum, the United States government is not equipped to handle the material needs of Ukraine in a protracted war. Russia knows this because the Russians are intimately familiar with the supply chain constraints that befell U.S. military operations in Afghanistan by virtue of our reliance on Russian rail to facilitate transportation through the Southern Distribution Network and the Northern Distribution Network. They are also familiar because Volga-Dnepr and Russian Rosoboronexport have been impacted by American International Trafficking in Arms Regulations (ITAR) at different times while serving American military needs. Finally, they are well aware, through their extensive control of Rare Earth Elements how challenging U.S. production of weapons can be.
To be sure, Putin would never allow a bureaucratic constraint to get in the way of supplying his military. If such a constraint were to emerge, his generals would immediately stop the issue in its infancy. American military leaders, by contrast, are divorced from this process. They would not know how to intervene even if they were aware.
Furthermore, the Russians are deeply committed to Mackinder’s Heartland (Eurasian) dominance concept. The Americans, meanwhile, act as if Mahan is still relevant by virtue of their large surface warfare ships, aircraft battle groups, and global network of allied ports – but they have abandoned his most important lesson: SLOCs are designed to facilitate the movement of materials for war and peace. They do not leverage their naval dominance to facilitate military logistics.
Recognizing the supply chain trap and American logistical weaknesses, all the Russians had to do with Ukraine is the opposite of the Americans. Rather than run into a trap – using a blitzkrieg style of warfare – the Russians are methodically using a 21st Century version of siege warfare, allowing the defenders to exhaust their men and materials. As the men die, they are irreplaceable. As the materials are expended or destroyed, they may be replaceable, but the production and transportation restrictions make it painfully slow for the Ukrainians. In effect, the U.S. is not now – nor has been since the 1940s – designed to support an ally depending on American military supplies or enjoys the capacity to deliver them.
Thus, Russia can do what it has always done when it wins wars – remain patient: (1) allow the American and international community to place all of its materials Ukraine in a desperate attempt to vainly show initiative; (2) methodically dismantle the Ukrainian capacity to wage a largescale defensive war; (3) force a desperate international community into demanding a Ukrainian counter-offensive; (4) Ukrainians agree, exhaust their supplies and manpower for temporary success; (5) slowly integrate territory into the Russian Federation – like an ink blot spreading slowly as Ukrainian forces withdraw; (6) encourage more costly counter-offensives; (7) wait until the American and European production and distribution constraints bottleneck; (8) finish off the Ukrainians.
Today, we are between “6” and “7” – and there is nothing the Empire’s military can do about it because it never considered its outrageous logistics deficiencies.

When America keeps harping about China invading Taiwan by a certain date, what’s really going on is that it’s going to try and make Taiwan do something to trigger an invasion by this date. First, some historical primer.
Taiwan’s original population was aboriginals who now live up in the mountains. The Chinese who settled were often involved in things that didn’t prosper under government authority, such as piracy and smuggling. The Qing Dynasty really only controlled some fortified settlements.
When it was ceded to Japan, that was the first time anybody established a government over the whole island. The Japanese treated the locals like they were Japanese and developed the place, so they’ve always been well-liked. By the time it was handed over to the Republic of China, the locals used Japanese for business and Taiwanese at home.
The new government gave them a year to adopt the full use of Chinese, which was not intelligible by the Taiwanese. Their language was repressed, with even the parents of school children hit with fines for every word their child spoke. It was also corrupt and viewed the Taiwanese contemptuously as Japanese collaborators to plunder. The killing of a local led to an uprising which was put down by massacring over 20,000 people. General Chiang Kai-shek is viewed by many as a villain.
The island received an enormous influx of mainlanders in a chaotic retreat after he was defeated by Mao. Many of them were soldiers who settled down with local women, meaning that at this point, most Taiwanese have backgrounds that include the original settlers. The pro-unification crowd were mainlanders and their children. That’s not true with the locals and the younger generations who are often incensed at the notion.
Former President Ma Ying-jeou recently visited the mainland. He’d moved the island into closer economic cooperation with it during his eight years in office, leading to students occupying the legislature (had some color revolution hallmarks). He was born in Hong Kong during the retreat, so many Taiwanese view him as an interloper who is trying to give away their country.
They see themselves as a distinct entity from the mainland with which they’ve had a very fraught history. The alternative media has good coverage, but it often paints the situation as two sides who both acknowledge themselves as China. That’s not the case, and this context is very important.
The only reason the name hasn’t been changed from the Republic of China is because the CCP made it a red line that would trigger military action. There’s not some pan-Chinese political sentiment in Taiwan or Hong Kong. That’s why the U.S. was able to convulse Hong Kong with violence and an 800,000 strong protest march after getting youths organized and trained in antifa black block tactics. Color revolutions are based on real grievances.
Just like in Ukraine, the United States moved in to weaponize sentiments produced by real historical experiences to create a situation it can exploit. It’s got a lot less to work with in Taiwan, however. The Ukrainian situation was ripe for a civil war to pull Russia in, but there’s no way to set off a conflict inside Taiwan. Most young people don’t want to join China. The U.S. is stuck trying to get them to keep embarrassing China with stunts until it takes action. Hopefully, this isn’t a good enough reason for the CCP to start World War 3.

Millions of the Taiwanese also work in mainland China, where a large percentage of the island’s net worth has been invested. Overnight, it would be a failed state if China took any meaningful economic or financial action against it. Ultimately, it’s like the situation in the Melian Dialogue. If China wants something from Taiwan, nothing is going to stop it. Power decides, not principle.
The simulated blockades have been face-saving demonstrations. All China would need to do in order to bring the island to its knees would be to do something like cutting off cross-strait transactions. This would also cause lots of havoc in China, but it would be better than opening the Pandora’s Box of military action.
That situation is one with which I’ve got some familiarity, and it’s quite insane to consider. During the island-hopping campaign to Japan, the American military opted to bypass Taiwan. Much of the island’s geography consists of high, steep mountains. The east coast is pretty narrow, with steep rocky coastline on the rough, open Pacific. The west coast, along the strait, is where the population is situated. It’s separated from the east by mountain ranges, with some elevations over two miles high.
It seems like there are two feasible western spots if the weather is good. There’s a massive port in the southern city of Kaohsiung with a large airport nearby. On the far side of the harbor there’s a beach, which could be the first step in seizing the port. Up north, outside of Taipei, there are beaches adjacent to Taoyuan International Airport. They’d probably go for both.
It would be pretty buck wild, because these are huge population centers and there’s not a lot of beach to play around on. If the locals decided to resist and pound with artillery from the much better elevations and cities nearby, it would be very unpleasant because everything would be going into tiny kill boxes. The Chinese would end up killing more civilians than we’ve seen since World War 2 trying to take out assets parked among the population to fire at them.
I’d rate the state of the Taiwanese military as highly questionable. I’m sure the neocons are salivating at having battles of Bakhmut all over the island but that’s an iffy proposition. For instance, the military relies on conscripts who now serve for a matter of months and aren’t really trained up to the standards of what Russia went up against last year.
When I was there several years ago, they even conscripted officers. If you have good grades, you could be a lieutenant for a year. I watched a sergeant cuss one out in front of his platoon for not getting his role in formation right. The sergeant wasn’t a conscript, so he had a different status. The conscripts are poorly paid and motivated. The video game addiction and masculinity crisis is even worse in Asia than it is here, so there’s not a big pool suitable for protracted urban combat.
It’s an extremely dense population, living mostly in high rise concrete buildings. There’s also no room to maneuver or conduct warfare away from population centers. If they wanted to evacuate them like Ukraine, there’s nowhere to go because the island is so crowded. Ukraine is over 40x the size of Taiwan, which again is mostly mountains.
The other thing here is that Russia can launch massive wave attacks with missiles and not take down the entire Ukrainian power grid. One strike like that could cripple every major piece of infrastructure in Taiwan because there isn’t much of it. A humanitarian crisis of dense cities without power or water would ensue rapidly. The fact that this infrastructure is also used by the military has been used as a justification for hitting it repeatedly by the U.S. So, there’s a precedent.
I can say quite confidently that there’s absolutely no way for Taiwan to hold out if China decided it had to be physically subdued (regardless of the human cost). However, the only scenario by which this could realistically happen is probably if it was decided that there was a major risk of the American Empire cooking something up so there had to be an immediate fait accompli. It would make the CCP look very bad to kill who they assert are Chinese people by the hundreds of thousands.
If they wagered that time was on their side, there are much better options available. The first is Kinmen Island. I got to tour its defenses while tagging along with American officers in civilian clothes about 15 years ago. It’s so close to the mainland you can look out of a gun emplacement and see it. The emplacements are linked by a rabbit’s warren of tunnels in the granite. They even carved a movie theater out of it.
All the way back then, the idea of this place holding out was laughable. The Taiwanese told us about all the reinforcements they’d be able to deliver within 48 hours. An American colonel joked at lunch that it would be over in less than five minutes. After that, there would be Penghu, which is out in the middle of the strait. Flattening these places would be pretty easy given their proximity.
If the main island was the target, they’d be getting taken down either way, but they’d also serve as a pretty compelling warning if the goal was forcing the Taiwanese government to come to terms. I’ve heard from drunken Taiwanese about how the government would pass out guns and they’d fight in the streets. If it becomes clear that the U.S. isn’t going to enter the conflict, the majority of the public would probably resign themselves to the inevitable rather than getting the place destroyed in the process.
The struggle between freedom and despotism is universal. https://t.co/pwD25STfpR

The outcome of the Ukrainian conflict will change some critical elements of public perception. Primarily, it will demonstrate that the U.S. can be intimidated into not entering a conflict on behalf of a proxy. That’s what the Ukrainians hope but it’s not going to happen. China knows when the truth comes out the world will be a new place.
My suspicion is that all this bluster from the Empire is to provoke military action against Jinmen. In this harebrained scheme, China will be intimidated by American power from going any further while the U.S. will be able to use this as a justification for strangling China.
This would align with the neocon stupidity which is destroying Ukraine. In that plan, Russia would be too intimidated to enter the conflict directly. The Ukrainians would wipe out the Russian separatists, while the U.S. would impose the current sanctions by using Russian support for their militias as a justification. You can’t take the stupidity of what they come up with as a reason why they won’t go through with it.
My assumption is that the United States wouldn’t interfere with an operation against Taiwan. Our assets, like carriers, are too vulnerable and this propaganda about how we could go in and wipe out a modern military has been exposed as a nonsensical bluff by Putin. That’s not my worry.
What alarms me is that we’re still faced with a collapse scenario if just the semiconductor output from Taiwan stops. China deciding to cut us off would plunge this nation into chaos. The U.S. uses the dollar to import its prosperity, so in many ways we’re more vulnerable than any other nation. Sure, China is quite reliant on imports as well, particularly food. Ultimately, it’s the glass house thing. Neocons and their tribe are notoriously bad at remembering what they live in.

Book Review of The Honorable Cause: A Free South (2023), Padraig Martin, editor
From a faraway European perspective, it may sound odd to reminisce about the tragic history of the post-bellum South. College books in the U.S. and EU still portray the South in an anecdotal, quasi–Wild West manner, the North being depicted as the eternal beacon of humanity and progress and the South as a territory of always lurking ugly White racists. The process of demonization of the South is well described by one of the contributors to the book, Jude Ruffin, who notes how the Empire subjected the South “to every form of degradation, from the mocking of our speech to the lampooning of our national character.”
The Honorable Cause: A Free South, is a collection of essays written by people active in the cause of Southern Nationalism. It is valuable not only because of its throwing additional light on the rich Southern cultural heritage, but also because the contributing authors provide the blueprint for a better understanding of today’s racially polarized America in decline. These essays also serve well for a better understanding of the meaning of White identities, both in Europe and the U.S. An average Irishman, a Catalan or a Breton, who has never set foot in the U.S., let alone having any idea about the history of Southern culture, will better grasp the message of the present essays than an American resident scholar residing on the East or West Coast.
The book consists of twelve essays by contemporary Southern authors, each of them taking his/her own stand on the Southern heritage with the underlying message: the South is not the “Lost Cause.” It can live and it can survive despite the onslaught of liberal political debauchery and the leftist cancel culture.
When reading the book, what comes to mind is the manifesto, I’ll Take My Standwritten by several Southern academics almost a hundred years ago, in which they describe the efforts of the plutocratic North to despoil and brainwash the South. Does that sound familiar today? A hundred years later, the process of brainwashing the so-called “reconstructed South” was applied again by Northern world-improvers and their Soviet partners in Germany and Europe, in what was euphemistically called “reeducation.”
For this reason alone, this book represents a timely sequel to the prose of early Southern Agrarians. It should be read twice, not just by aspiring White nationalists in America, but also by the larger academic community in Europe and America. The beauty of each of those twelve essays, albeit also their difficulty, is that each essay could easily expand into a separate book. What transpires from this book, however, is that the Southern cause stands not just for a specific geographic location or a limited time span of history. Being a Southern Nationalist today, however awkward this expression sounds, means first and foremost having a different mindset and being proud of a unique brand of Western civilization. Metaphorically speaking, one can be a good Southerner even if not born in the South. To a large extent, citizens of European ancestry, wherever on earth they now reside, are subject to a predicament similar to that faced by Southern Nationalists. We all face similar fake news, we are all subjected to a similar Great Racial Replacement project, and we are all undergoing a similar process of extinction at the hand of the Global Liberal Reconstructor. Fortunately, the number of Southerners with a strong sense of their identity as White Southerners, and with a sense of their interests as White Southerners, is growing.
America’s South, or what remains of it, appears in many aspects more European than Europe itself, a continent which has turned by now into its own cadaverous parody. In fact, many Southerners, even simple country folks from the Ozarks, still display a sense of civic duty and decency, sincere compassion, unfaked smiles, and politeness that are long gone in Europe. The South still has its distinct taste and flavor, not just in its culinary achievements, but also in a way of communication, well noted in Dixie O’Hara’s essay, “Aprons of Resistance: The Role of Women in Southern Dissidence.” Home-grown black-eyed peas or roasted chicken are far more appetizing in a small restaurant in Alabama than at some generic Denny’s along US 101.
But the South is more than just Cajun cuisine or Dolly Parton’s songs. Although now isolated and vilified, Southern Nationalists represent a peculiar breed of people that cannot be found anywhere else in the Western hemisphere. The word “honor” for instance and its verbal derivatives, used and abused by many in Europe and the U.S., retains for them its original old Latin honestas significance. It denotes constant self-inspection and an inborn character endowment that can neither be sold nor bought. In her contribution, “Reconsidering Our Nation,” Anne Wilson Smith also adds an important insight on Southern character, namely “skepticism towards (all) authority.” Put more descriptively, many Southerners abide by unwritten rules that the interests of community, kinship bondage, as well as a sense of sacrifice for the common good that precedes the individual’s sense of self-interest.
Yes, the South had given birth to distinct people, and as James Edwards notes in his introductory essay, “There’s No Place Like Home,” “great men are never made except through great trials,” a feature that can less and less be detected in Europe today, even among many self-proclaimed White nationalists. In his contribution, Father O’Dabney seconds Edwards with his simple yet profound words that “greatness is born in humility.”
The Other and the SameMany educated Europeans, especially modern high-culture White nationalists, have rightfully and for decades been very critical of America’s mercantile mindset, fleeting human relationship, hyper-individualism and excessive Judeophile messianism in American foreign politics. This is not the case with Southern Nationalists. The American global Empire and Americanism (whatever the words ‘Americanism’ and ‘America’ mean in a so-called nation that has by now almost half of non-White non-European citizens) can find their sharpest critics precisely among Southerners, as exemplified by a well-researched Rick Dirtwater’s piece, “Americanism: Death of the South.”
Many critics of the South, especially in Europe, are mistaken when they assume that the whole of the South is run by contingents of Bible-thumping Christian Zionists. Unfortunately, lots of foreign outsiders have never made acquaintance with the Deep South. The irony of history is that early Southerners were far more successful in preserving many ancient European traits in their culture, such as chivalry and self-sacrifice than Europeans did. It is often overlooked, even by many conservatives and rightwing literati in France and Germany, that the antebellum and postbellum South was at some point in its history the only speck in the Western hemisphere that was not plagued by the ideas of the 1792 French Jacobins and their egalitarian delirium. Nor was it infected by the European 1848 Liberal Revolution and its secular religion of economic progress. Moreover, the South was fully spared from the 1917 Bolshevik nightmare and its subhuman creature homo sovieticus. This has now changed for the worse, as noted by Michael Hill’s succinct comment: “Liberal Democracy has become the civic religion of America and the West.”
Indeed, what communist utopia could not accomplish in East Europe, Liberalism is now carrying out in a far more sophisticated manner, fully enforcing its destructive transgender and paleo-communist ukases in the “reconstructed” South. The D.C. Deep State doxing and demonizing of Southern thinkers and academics, as the contributor Harmonica (pseudonym) notes in his “Adversaries of the South: The Left’s Failed Elites,” makes the entire American-imposed educational system in the South look like a carbon copy of the former Soviet People’s Commissariat for Communications. In her contribution, Rebecca Dillingham illustrates this Sovietization process of the system brainwashing, noting that America:
“…is an amorphous blob composed of polyglot territories cobbled together by secular fictions, utopian fantasies, consumerism, covetousness, degeneracy, and hubris.”
Frankly, I’ve never seen a more succinct, absolutely accurate description of contemporary America.
Southern Nationalism can also stand as a shorthand for White nationalism worldwide. Can they be used synonymously? Yes and no. Let us face it. White nationalists have for centuries shown that they are their own worst enemies. Neil Kumar, who is himself of mixed racial origin, raises a haunting yet critically important question regarding the future of Southern (and) White identity. He states a very unpleasant truth for many Whites world-wide. “Far from joining hands as racial kinsmen, the kingdoms and then the nation-states of Europe have engaged in perpetual warfare against each other.”
After all, the war between Southern Confederates and the Northern Unionists was a war of people sharing the same gene pool. The list of inter-White wars, from mythical Troy to the Thirty Years War, from the Spanish Civil War to World War II and the recent Balkans wars, shows time and again that Whites enjoy killing each other on a grand scale. Witness the ongoing war between two closely related European peoples in eastern Ukraine (here).
The book raises more questions that it can possibly provide quick answers to. The co-editor of the book, Padraig Martin, offers some interesting formulas as to how to proceed with Southern revival and building White identity. One must agree with him that we must first and foremost abide by the law of the land “and minimize communications that are “anti-others.” This “anti-others” attitude is a typical feature of many White nationalists who build their national awareness solely on the hatred and exclusion of the Other, such as English vs. Irish, Serbs vs. Croats, Flemings vs. Walloons, North vs. South in the U.S. It’s a long list. Such a form of “negative legitimacy” in the quest of identity has been over centuries self-destructive for all White peoples, serving only the interests of hostile global elites.
The book is a must read for every student dealing with the issue of identity in postmodernity. Does one become a Southerner by decree, by birth, or by his free will? Must one become in the future a levitating airborne and rootless White nationalist without his soil beneath his feet, like many Jews who have carried for centuries their identity in a suitcase? What happens when a mischling, i.e., a person of mixed race, a “half-breed,” for instance of combined Kurdish and German ancestry decides to look for his new identity in his new Middle Eastern or German homeland? One must agree with modern sociobiologists’ claim that cultures can be learned and unlearned, homelands can be exchanged and swapped, mother tongues can also be fully forgotten and replaced by some weird global Sovietspeak or the virtue-signaling Liberal Volapuk. One can also change citizenship and obtain half a dozen different passports. But the iron laws of heredity can’t be learned or changed. Man’s genes are given; they are transmitted through the bloodline stretching through countless generations. They are the inborn material of every man and every Southerner regardless whether he lives in Atlanta or in New York, or decides to relocate to somewhere in Europe. The future identities of Southerners and for all Whites worldwide will be based on their inborn racial identity, hopefully moving beyond parochial turf wars with a first-door White neighbor. With present storms of huge racial replacement, Southerners, along with White nationalists, must consider where in the South, or where else on earth they will establish their own sweet home.

Anyone familiar with the situation and actually considers a military confrontation between the U.S. and China to be a feasible proposition is an imbecile. For starters, this would entail a global supply chain collapse. That means your major security threat might not be the Chinese but your neighbors who decide to eat you. I plan on being more preemptive, but I haven’t informed mine about it.

The Chinese position is that if we have them on the ropes, they’d fight because there’s nothing left to lose at that point. In the meantime, they’ve been making earnest efforts to create an alternative system with the Russians that other countries can choose to join because it’s a better deal. A sort of peaceful global divorce, one could call it.
It’s not discussed by the American media, but most other countries would prefer a different system, especially as ours has rapidly become more insane. The fact that policy makers don’t understand this can be attributed to hubris, but perhaps even more so to a normalcy bias.
For as long as anyone has been alive, the American Empire was the only game in town. Everyone needed dollars, even the Soviet Union. Everybody on the planet was subjected to the economic and financial power of the United States. Decisions in Washington have been made accordingly.
The thinking is clearly that we still have this untrammeled power so it can be used for anything we want, no matter how much anyone else finds it objectionable. The conflict in Ukraine was supposed to be won by collapsing Russia’s economy overnight with sanctions. Everybody of note said that would happen, and then it didn’t. We’re in a new reality for which they’re unable to account.
The conflict was supposed to break Russia and then China, but it’s actually serving as the catalyst for their effort to break us. Our system is based on financial chicanery and military threats, while theirs is based on resources and productivity. They’re currently countering our threats as well.
It must be emphasized how historic this is: For decades, virtually all energy from the Persian Gulf was sold in dollars. Now China is buying LNG from the UAE in its own currency, yuan.

So, what’s quickly coming together is a new system, which doesn’t involve a new global reserve currency to replace the dollar (look up the Triffin Dilemma to see why they wouldn’t want one). Instead, trade can be done outside of the dollar in a variety of currencies. I’m not sure why this is hard to conceptualize for people in the Beltway.
Since Brazil is producing agricultural commodities and China is producing manufactured goods, they can use the yuan to exchange them and skip the step of changing money into dollars. It costs money to change money. Likewise, Russia can sell oil to India in exchange for rupees because it can use them to buy stuff.
If the currencies involved remain stable, it can work fine. Remember when Biden told us that the “ruble was rubble“? How could that have been done if it’s backed by massive energy exports? The scheme failed right away.
Foreign exchange performance measured against USD. The Russian ruble (RUB) is the best performing currency in the world. So much for Biden's "crush the ruble" strategy. Can anyone in Biden's gang shoot straight? pic.twitter.com/2HNR3SXTet

By the nature of what I do, I interact with people who run large international businesses. I was recently talking to such an American about this shift. He was incredulous that anyone would want the yuan outside of China and that Russia had acquired so much of it because of desperation.
Every prestigious publication has been harping about how Russia is getting crushed for the past year, so that’s how many people in high places interpret what’s going on. You’d sound like a crackpot contending otherwise in respectable company.
Back to the normalcy bias factor, this is an older guy who’s been making millions of dollars playing the only game that’s existed for his entire life, even in Beijing. I think that makes it hard to conceptualize a new game despite his business acumen.
It’s hard to understate how the world is changing. For instance, what’s going to happen in capital markets? If you’re making money in these other currencies, why not invest in them as well? The confiscation of Russian assets, both public and private, has been absolutely outrageous. It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see that lots of Chinese assets would be next if the confrontation moves forward.
Our system is not a “rules-based international order” that works for democracy, freedom, and human rights. It’s actually run more like a violent criminal enterprise that steals money by the hundreds of billions, engages in industrial terrorism (everyone knows we blew up Nord Stream 2), and promotes perversions that most of the planet finds sickening.
There’re also the endless wars everyone is getting really fed up with, enabling China to set up a Middle East peace plan that actually brings peace to the region and accelerates the de-dollarization. It’s not a surprise that works better than trying to topple every country that was unfriendly to Israel.
If smaller countries can be made safe from the U.S., they’ll take the new deal. The guy in Tunisia would’ve been an excellent candidate for a color revolution but clearly he’s received security assurances from certain parties. Last year, it would’ve still been extremely dangerous for any leader of a small country to tell the IMF to fuck off. We’re going to see more of this across the Global South.
We’re even seeing this understanding of an alternative order manifest in Israel, where the bloodthirsty Netanyahu Jews don’t want to accept that they can’t take the whole region over. They’re increasing their share of the population because the globohomo Jews aren’t reproducing.
It’s not hard for globohomo Jews to see that a new framework could offer Israel security and are fine with doing their gay pride parades within defined borders. They don’t want the Netanyahu Jews establishing a lock on power because they’ll never stop pushing until they get the place destroyed.
What this means for us, here in America, remains to be seen. I’ve been very hesitant about holding on to a lot of dollars since they started printing all the COVID money, but the U.S. also has a large portion of the global population locked down, so the strength of the dollar in international trade will probably persist for years to come.
We also seem to be buying ourselves more time by cutting off Europe’s affordable energy supply, so production has to move here where it’s cheaper. They’re quite unhappy about what’s being done but none of their governments represent them. Europe is a horse we’re going to beat until it keels over and dies.
I don’t think there are any good precedents for what we’ll experience. As Russia collapsed in the 1990s, millions died deaths of despair largely as the result of a looting operation. What they had going for them was resource autarky, a manufacturing base that was never exported, social capital, and a global economy that didn’t collapse along with it. So, they were able to pull out of the crisis once the proper leadership was in place.
The United States doesn’t have any of that going for it. We could have a real nightmare on our hands if we can’t import all of what we rely on for survival with dollars. I don’t think anyone who reads this publication requires a litany of our social and racial problems that could catch fire. We’d be much better off if this is a process that gets managed over the course of the next decade or so.
The bottom line is that our prosperity, if that’s what you want to call what’s currently going on in America, isn’t based on producing physical stuff. This can’t be sustained in the future. Whatever hardships lie ahead will be better than what this system will do to us if it doesn’t fall apart, so there’s certainly a bright side.
The post The Future Arrives appeared first on Identity Dixie.
“One day Saint Polycarp saw the ruler sitting in his chair and watching as the blood of Christians flowed like water.”
From the life of Martyr Polycarp of Alexandria (+4th century)
The murder of six innocent Christians at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, by a deranged young woman in the grips of the demonic ideology of transgenderism seems to have opened the eyes of many to the reality of the spiritual warfare going on here in the States, that the forces of good and evil are locked in a battle for the souls and bodies of the people we see all around us.
Much of the ruling class and many blue states and cities agree with President Biden, who put out a statement on April 1st that reads in part:
“Transgender Day of Visibility celebrates the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know — people who have too often had to put their jobs, relationships, and lives on the line just to be their true selves. Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect. Their courage has given countless others strength, but no one should have to be brave just to be themselves. Every American deserves that freedom. Transgender Americans shape our Nation’s soul…”
In a situation so unprecedented, so at odds with traditional mores, is there anything in the Southern tradition that can possibly help us here in Dixie to reestablish our feet on solid ground, to help us regain our bearings?
Deo Gratias, we have not been left without such help. Another one of Virginia’s great sons, the Rev. Robert Lewis Dabney, provides us with a diagnosis and a cure for the madness that is overwhelming society. In his book, The Sensualistic Philosophy of the Nineteenth Century Considered, he foresees clearly the effects of rejecting traditional Christian teaching about God and man and accepting in its place various materialistic and atheistic theories. He begins an exceptional string of passages by explaining the motivations of modern man for denying God:
“We saw that the practical effect of Darwin’s speculations was to make man one among the beasts. But Huxley and his comrades would end by reducing both man and beast to the level of the clod. Why is it, that any mind possessed even of the culture displayed in these ill-starred speculations, does not resent the unspeakable degradation which they inflict upon mankind? Men would not thus outrage their own natures, without an interested motive. That motive is, doubtless, in many, the craving for license from moral restraints, and release from that accountability to a holy God, which remorse foreshadows. In the more decent it is probably a semi-conscious vanity of intellect, itching for a place apart from the common crowd of thinkers, and a semi-conscious craving for liberty of an irresponsible self-will. They wish not to have this Christ to reign over them. To the sinful mind viewing its destiny superficially, it may seem a fine thing to have no omniscient Master; to be released from the restraints of law; to be held hereafter to no account for conscious guilt. But let us see whether even guilty man has any motive of self-interest to say in his heart, “There is no God,” whether atheism is not at least as horrible as hell.”
This describes very well the transgender crowd – seeking liberty from moral restraint, freedom from accountability to God. But there is a price to be paid for these actions. Following this rebellion, he says, comes profound sadness:
“Some materialists have professed to believe in immortality. But should it be that man is immortal, and yet has no God, this itself will be eternal despair. For no materialistic theory can then expel from the man those immutable realities, sensibility, hope, fear, sin, guilt, accountability, remorse… But now, if the materialist-theory is true, there is no remedy for these miseries. There is no God omnipotent to cleanse and deliver. There is no Redeemer, in whom dwell the divine wisdom, power, love, and truth, for man’s rescue. The Bible, the only book that ever professed to tell fallen man of an adequate salvation, is discredited. Providence and Grace are, banished out of the existence of helpless, suffering man. There is no object to whom we can address prayer in our extremity. In place of a personal God and Father in Christ, – the fountain and exemplar of all love and beneficence, to whom we can cry in prayer, on whom we may lean in our weakness and sorrow, who is able and willing to wash away guilt and heal depravity, who is suited to be our adequate portion through an eternal existence, – we are left to confront this infinite Nature, material, impersonal, reasonless, heartless.”
And now he pours out words of heart-breaking eloquence that capture the despair that is crushing the hearts and souls of so many people, and leading them to commit horrific atrocities:
“There is no supreme, rational, or righteous government over man [in the materialist scheme—W.G.]; and when the noblest sentiments of the soul are crushed by wrongs so intolerable, that their perpetual triumph is felt to be more hateful than death; there is not, nor shall there ever be, to all eternity, any appeal to compensating justice! But our only master is an irresistible, blind machine, revolving forever by the law of a mechanical necessity; and the corn between its upper and nether millstones is this multitude of living, palpitating, human hearts, instinct with their priceless hopes, and fears, and affections, and pangs, writhing and bleeding forever under the remorseless grind. The picture is as black as hell itself. He who is “without God in this world,” is “without hope.” Atheism is despair.”
Without Christ, without hope, drowning in their pain and fear, people like Audrey Hale have no reason to refrain from lashing out at those whom they believe are mistreating them.
To the question, then, that inevitably follows these abominable evils – what must we do to prevent them from happening again? The answer, vis-à-vis Rev. Dabney, is not difficult to discern: stop teaching people, especially the young, theories (evolution, LGBT ideology, transhumanism, etc.) that snatch the good seed of the Christian Gospel from their hearts, that extinguish the warmth and glow of healthy spiritual life from the soul; and do the opposite – cultivate the Gospel in the hearts of people.
Our proposals to affect that must be bold, however, to match the great danger facing us. We must tear out, root and branch, the sources of this revolutionary, this Satanic, madness.
We must throw far away every vague reference to “Nature’s God,” “Almighty Being,” “Supreme Ruler of the Universe,” and the like in the organic laws of our Southern States. These are not beings anyone knows anything about, or how to worship them, or what they require of us. We must speak instead of the All-Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
We must add to these same constitutions the highest calling of man. Many of the things listed in them are indeed good – protection of innocent human life, domestic tranquility, etc. – but without any reference to ultimate spiritual goals, they are in themselves deficient. C.S. Lewis put it this way: “Aim at Heaven and you will get earth “thrown in”: aim at earth and you will get neither.”
In that vein, it is necessary to add to them the words of our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ from His Holy Gospel, to give our Southern people the proper grounding and direction generation after generation:
“And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me. Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world.”
St. John’s Gospel17:3, 22-24
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.”
St. Matthew’s Gospel7:25, 33
Words from St. Augustine of Hippo (+5th century) could be added as well: “God is the source of our blessedness. He is the goal of all our aspirations. While we are searching for Him… we aspire to Him in our love in order to reach Him and find rest. We are blessed only insofar as we progress toward this goal. We have no other good except union with God’ (The City of God, 60, 3, quoted in Archimandrite Panteleimon, Eternal Mysteries Beyond the Grave, 2nd edn., Holy Trinity Monastery, Jordanville, New York, 2012, p. 272).
Prayers like the following must ever be on the lips of those in our families, our schools, our government institutions, our businesses, and so forth. If we need to revise state constitutional clauses dealing with religious establishments, so be it. If we need to nullify federal Supreme Court rulings that try to squelch the public, communal practice of Christianity, so be it:
“O Lord Jesus Christ, eternal God, who within time hast become perfect man from the womb of the Virgin: from thy heavenly throne hearken to our prayer for this land. Prepare it for us as a temporal homeland such that we may easily and safely travel therefrom to our true homeland with thee. Give strength to thy people and bless them with peace. As Joseph prospered when he sojourned in Egypt, so prosper the Church and her leaders during our sojourn in this land. Adorn our earthly rulers with the faith of Ehud, the hope of Barak, the steadfast trust of Jephthah, the holiness of Samuel, the prudence of Moses, the meekness of David, the wisdom of Solomon, the courage of Hezekiah, the zeal of Josiah, and the nobility of Zerubbabel.
Correct the laws of this land to guide aright men’s deeds and so make their hearts upright, and let us no longer shed innocent blood and be putrid with it, defiling ourselves with the works of darkness. Make our households to be like flocks of sheep, and our children like olive trees around our table. Go forth, O God, with our armed forces, protecting those that serve in them by the power of thy Cross. Grant peace to our cities, towns, and countryside, and by thy mighty right hand and wisdom support and guide the police and all those charged with enforcing the law. Enlighten with the true light of the Gospel the minds of all educators of this land, to whom we commend the instruction of ourselves and our children. Send us rain and sunshine, and also snow and wind from thy storehouses, all in due season. Make our harvests bountiful and multiply them to feed the poor of our land and of the whole world. Make honest the scales of the merchants and bankers, and make the earthly economy of this land ever more to reflect, even as in a mirror darkly, the supernal economy of thy Father. Guide aright the hands of all doctors, nurses, and other healers in this land, and grant that they may employ their arts for the sake of health and life in this world leading unto true life and salvation, and not for the sake of death and the devil.”
Orthodox Christian Prayers, St. Tikhon’s Monastery Press, 2019
Looking at this from a different angle (i.e., those things that will not help our current situation), we do not need a one-sided focus on STEM classes in our schools; we do not need to remake society into a total panopticon surveillance state; we do not need to “Make America Great Again;” we do not need to be loyal to the Puritan/Yankee Empire and its worldview, all of which things amount to little more than a monstrous dialectical system that swings between the extremes of a smothering totalitarian uniformity and a chaotic individualism.
These are at variance with our Southern Christian patrimony. The Yankee Empire they are a part of is dying, and Dixie must seal herself off from their baneful influence, or she will die as well.
It is far better for us to heed the words of our Southern forebears like Rev. Dabney instead, who encourage us to embrace Christianity and put away infidelity.
And in doing so, we will also be able to tell our Southern neighbors who have fallen into the debauchery of transgenderism, homosexuality, and similar things, the good news that repentance is possible, that God welcomes back the penitent, the prodigal sons and daughters, and blesses them with abundant spiritual gifts if they strive for the heights (some have thankfully already discovered this for themselves). The life of St. Mary of Egypt (+5th century) is extraordinary proof of this. Early in life, she fell very deeply into the depravity of prostitution, but later repented earnestly as an ascetic alone in the wilderness. She relates to the holy Elder Zosimus who found her in the desert:
“Believe me, Abba Zosimas,” the woman said, “I spent seventeen years in this wilderness [after she had spent seventeen years in immorality], fighting wild beasts: mad desires and passions… Abba, how shall I tell you of the thoughts that urged me on to fornication? A fire seemed to burn within me, awakening in me the desire for embraces. Then I would throw myself to the ground and water it with my tears… After finishing my bread, I lived on herbs and the things one finds in the desert. The clothes I had when I crossed over the Jordan became torn and fell apart. I suffered both from the summer heat, when the blazing heat fell upon me, and from the winter cold, when I shivered from the frost. Many times I fell down upon the earth, as though dead. I struggled with various afflictions and temptations. But from that time until the present day, the power of God has guarded my sinful soul and humble body. I was fed and clothed by the all-powerful word of God, since man does not live by bread alone, but by every word proceeding from the mouth of God (Dt 8:3, Mt.4:4, Luke 4:4), and those who have put off the old man (Col 3:9) have no refuge, hiding themselves in the clefts of the rocks (Job 24:8, Heb 11:38). When I remember from what evil and from what sins the Lord delivered me, I have imperishable food for salvation.”
Falling headlong into sin; being lifted out of it by the Grace of God – is this not a universal theme of our Southland, in our family histories, in sermons, in hymns, in our folk music (i.e., country music)? Let it be proclaimed everywhere, by everyone: from the lowliest homesteader to the most powerful officeholders, that Southern Christian blood will no longer “flow like water,” in Nashville or anywhere else.

We live in a system with rhetorical guardrails on our political and social discourse intended to keep Heritage Americans moving like cattle towards the slaughter. In other words, the conclusion of their extended familial existence. That last part could be a bunch of scenarios. For instance, getting hit with a stray round at a gas station or perhaps having a child turned into a tranny. Rest assured, it will be very unpleasant and then that will be it.
Anyways, the last thing this system should be doing is giving them the idea to take their own side. That could get the cattle to stop moving or knock over the guardrail and go someplace else. This has happened before. Rather dramatically, in fact. A lot less than once, as well.
The primary task of the political and media Right is thus to keep that guardrail sturdy. That’s accomplished by taking some of the things that people value and telling them that if this is what they want, they have to keep heading towards the slaughter which they’re somehow not supposed to notice is a slaughter.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson characterized white advocacy as a form of "Nazism" during a podcast with Adam Carolla released on Monday.https://t.co/gw1AQmESGy
— Chris Menahan (@infolibnews) April 4, 2023
It’s a very difficult task, because the slaughter includes stripping them of these things that they value like their constitutional rights. Therefore, some pundits must be allowed to criticize certain individuals and organizations. This is how we had the feud between the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Tucker Carlson.
When the ADL demands that Americans be stripped of their constitutional right to freedom of speech, which is not defined racially, he has to be allowed to push back against this one organization on television. Somehow, the ADL can’t grasp the imperative to let him do his job.
Carlson’s responsibility, just like all the other conservative pundits, is to make sure that Heritage America never takes its own side. This is a completely healthy and natural stance. It’s the only stance taken by groups that manage to keep existing. His primary tools for inculcating suicidal complacency are the red-blue voting divide and the Constitution. Just like every other scam, this has its limits. If high profile prosecutions are conducted on a political basis, so that Hilary Clinton can commit egregious felonies and never get prosecuted while Trump gets hit with dozens for a hoax while victory is now mailed into elections, this red-blue stuff gets really hard to cite as evidence the system could work in our favor.
The Constitution has been turned into a sick joke. This wasn’t done behind the scenes in a way the average conservative wouldn’t understand. It’s not possible to nullify the Constitution by subjecting the nation to a summer of carnage, forced experimental injections, and a farce about how the government was almost overthrown by a MAGA insurrection and maintain a conservative’s faith in this document.
Very rapidly, we went from conservatives noting that since Affirmative Action is unconstitutional, it could be overturned if Trump appointed enough judges, to White people getting pulled out of their cars and beaten with impunity. The hatred was so intense that the people behind it all couldn’t see it was burning up system credibility that kept a large piece of Heritage America complacent.
Therefore, the fear is turning to Heritage America looking for meaning and finding it in itself, rather than the farcical system that can’t be sold anymore despite the best efforts of a scumbag like Carlson. Anybody can see the country is growing more hostile towards us by the day as it swirls down the toilet. It’s been noticed that we’re noticing, hence more and more mask-off hysteria that serves to move the shift along.

If they claimed 70,000 times every 30 minutes, this would be believable.It’s how we go from the cringe conservative rhetoric of 2016 about how George Soros was a Nazi to what we have today about who he really is and how he unleashed a crime wave on this country by buying district attorney races on the cheap. For instance, that of Alvin Bragg who campaigned on prosecuting Trump. He’ll probably secure a conviction due to the jury pool in Manhattan.
As Heritage America gets more riled up, they now feel compelled to start squawking about how these Heritage Americans, who used to be squawking about Nazis, are now the real Nazis. They keep implying these Nazis are everywhere, thus providing social confirmation to being a Nazi.

Not properly drawn, just like all the other hoaxes people shouldn’t be looking up. I’m not saying this is a good political strategy so you should start dressing up like it’s 1937. Being a Nazi already didn’t work here when George Lincoln Rockwell tried it. I’m pointing out that this is where they moved things by trying to fool Heritage America into not taking its own side. Right back to their worst fear.
That’s legitimately hilarious. You see, to them the Nazi thing is the worst thing that could possibly happen. So, they cite that in the expectation that everyone else would also feel the same way. In reality, a set of things that most people consider the worst possibilities are happening right now. So, to most people, the Nazi thing might be preferable to these things. Accordingly, they really shouldn’t talk about Hitler like he’s a possibility that the masses could choose as an alternative.
Thus, they’re unable to observe the insanity of launching a public relations campaign with “Hitler was right” as the centerpiece. First of all, they’re putting this phrase in everyone’s heads. Second, some won’t conclude Hitler was mad about friendly people attending a religious service like in the PSA. They’ll look up what Hitler clearly articulated and what he was actually mad about, and that’s when the sparks fly.

This is actually not a parody.Is their solution some sort of Nazi loop?

Perhaps only a rational mind can discern the peril of this approach.

There is a seismic shift that can be felt throughout both the South and the North within these United States. It is very clear that distinctions are being drawn on virtue, morality, and Western order. From the punishment of Disney by Florida’s governor over its attempt to interfere in political decisions to the expansion of “gender affirming care” for toddlers in New York, these United States are rapidly disintegrating into two camps. The South is embracing its Christian roots. The North is embracing its militant egalitarian ideological origins. The two will not find common ground. They are diametrically opposed to one another, and that is beautiful. We are witnessing the birth of a distinct moral Nation-State: Dixie.
When two of three Tennessee legislators were expelled on Thursday, 6 April 2023, for using disruptive practices that broke decorum rules, it was not merely a political show of force by Tennessee Republicans. It was an affirmation of long-standing Western discipline. Acting like a petulant child is bad enough. Ignoring the psychosis of a transgender terrorist who murdered Christian children in an attempt to call for gun control was unforgiveable. Tennessee put its foot down. God Bless them! Other Southern states should take similar measures if they have the legal means to do so. It is not simply that we should seek the punishment of Marxist and irrational rabble rousers. Rather, we should seek means to set clear distinctions between the South and the rest of “those” United States.
First, it is important to understand what a “Nation-State” is; then understand why you should have hope. There is much confusion regarding the term “nation” and “state,” largely because the United States applies different uses to their actual definitions. The term “nation” means a unique people. The term “state” means a defined geography with independent governance. In the U.S., nation is often confused with these United States – a country – while state is a section of these United States that enjoys semi-autonomy (e.g., Florida, New York, Texas, etc.). The Treaty of Westphalia determined the definition of “nation-state” in 1648, at the conclusion of both the Dutch Revolution (“Eighty Years War”) and the Thirty Years War. In essence, it became the nearly permanent alignment of European territorial boundaries (countries) that have changed somewhat since then, but very little and often temporarily. Those geographies were largely drafted along national lines – i.e., people who shared cultural, historical, and linguistic heritages. The emergence of the “Nation-State” led to one of the most powerful, transformative historical concepts in world history. All countries since that Treaty have largely applied its definition to create distinct and free countries, especially in the post-colonial era of the 1940s through the 1970s.
By definition, the United States is not a Nation-State. It is a collection of states that have gradually ceded their authority to federal actors. In this regard, the United States is the European Union in two-hundred years. Furthermore, each state has distinct cultures that form national identities. The South, as a region, enjoys a number of countries – i.e., American states – that share cultural, historical, linguistic, and even genetic similarities. New England is yet another distinct region. The Midwest is less severely distinct, largely because there was a collective commitment by Nordic and German settlers to embrace an “American” identity that avoids regionalism. This is no doubt a function of the times and philosophies that drove them to the U.S. in the mid-19th Century. Still, the Midwest knows it is neither Yankee New Englanders nor Southern Dixians. They have their own national identity, albeit less wedded to sectionalism.
This is important because it all circles back to the possibility of a Southern Nation-State emerging as a Christian moral epicenter. The South will not need to physically fight its way out of the Union in the 21st Century. It will be kicked out of the Union for its Christian intransigence. With every outrageous Northern state’s legal, political, or social policies, Southerners must remain committed to countering these immoral steps with the most hardline-Christian reaction. In so doing, the South does two things. First, it enrages an emotionally unhinged rest of those United States in such a way that Dixie becomes wholly unacceptable to the Left. Many leftists will self-exile, as we have seen with the plethora of LGBT students and their parents who recently fled Florida. The rest will simply pass ever increasing counter-laws to create a sharper distinction between them and us.
When the South outlaws transgender surgery for children, the Yankees will pay for it… when the South punishes black criminality with lethal force, the Yankees will effectively handcuff their own law enforcement… when the South restricts infanticide, the Yankee will fund them and expand the right to include children several days after they are born… when the South passes measures to fund Christian schools through choice, the Yankees will effectively make them illegal, pulling their certifications (as New York did to many Catholic schools) … These divisions will exacerbate a growing divide. We should keep pushing.
Second, the South implores God through its increasingly stronger moral stance. There are some who say that God does not interfere in the political machinations of mankind. Those people have never read a Bible. The Lord blesses Nation-States who hear His Word and implement legal systems to adhere to it. These United States have lost God’s favor, as evidenced by its lost wars. The South should depart from it, as warned in the Book of Revelation (a topic I have covered before).
What we are now witnessing is a total moral secession in real time. There is a South that is beautiful, Godly, and seeks to preserve Western traditions and culture. That is a manifestation of its people. By definition, that is “nation” personified in policy. We are a Christian nation. The contrast is a North that becomes exceedingly more degenerate. It rejects God. It rejects Christianity. It rejects Western traditions and culture. That, too, is a manifestation of its people. By definition, that is “nation” personified in policy. They are an antichristian people – not all of them, but enough that they enjoy political power, thus making them the majority within their lands. They are “antichrists” as explained in the first epistle of John. They are not a Christian nation.
Now comes the “state.” We have the geographical confines to determine what is “the South.” It is a land below the Mason-Dixon. It is a collection of states that once fought an expansive federal government that invaded them in the mid-19th century. It is well defined. That which is needed now is to create a bloc of states that becomes so abhorrent to the antichrists of the North that they extricate us from their union in an attempt to create the Bolshevik dystopia they seek. Let them kick us out. We can and should depart peacefully.
With every pro-Christian, moral counter-policy that is raised in Dixie, a new Nation-State emerges. You are witnessing it in real time, even if it is hard to see at times. The crystallization of an independent Christian country is in its infancy, but it is there. You are watching the birth of a moral Nation-State in real time. Celebrate its birth.

“The Emperor’s New Clothes,” written by Hans Christian Andersen, is a fictional tale of two traveling swindlers that convince a gullible emperor and his entourage that they can weave special clothes that only the truly enlightened can see. But not just any clothes, but magnificent ones, playing to the vanity of the emperor. More importantly, the swindlers have the ability to embellish a fiction so enthralling that it sways the emperor’s subjects into also seeing clothing that does not exist. Worst, a great many clearly know it is a fraud, yet they go along with the charade, fearing they will be considered stupid or backward. Staying in good graces with imperial rule is much more important than truth, until a child shouts from the crowd, “The emperor has no clothes!” Out of the mouths of babes comes truth. But there is no deterring the emperor, and he just keeps moving through the streets as if the naked truth has not been revealed. We are in such an era as depicted in this lovable tale, only it’s real and rather disturbing.
Let’s examine a few invisible, magnificent garments the American Empire and its hordes of sycophants are praising in their narcissistic parade of patronizing foolishness.
For instance:
I could go on and on, but I’ll end with one naked truth that no child should ever have to speak this truth to power.
Southern man and woman, we are turning the tide! Shout plainly to your people and teach it to your children, so they may shout it even louder! The American Empire is exposed, naked before all, and truth will make its subjects question why they let these frauds rule over them.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

From the looks of things, Ukraine will be launching a counteroffensive in the coming weeks. That’s not because it’s a good idea. They won’t have any element of surprise and they’ll be attacking well-prepared units head on. However, for political reasons this is what has to happen, or it’s feared that support will wane because the Western public needs something tangible marketed to them as evidence of success. More military aid has been provided to Ukraine than the Soviet Union in World War 2.
The general public doesn’t understand what’s happening even though opposition to sustaining the conflict has been growing as we’ve squandered a couple hundred billion in just a year. That’s perfectly understandable since they have very little comprehension of military matters, but I must admit to feeling an intense disquiet when my former comrades, who are field grade officers, don’t get it either.
What’s been happening for the past 13 months is a decisive Russian success but marketed as the opposite by the exact same people behind the Global War on Terror (GWOT) with its fabricated premises and comprehensive failures. A lot of this is done by absurd lies such as claiming the Russians, with multiples of acknowledged advantage in firepower, are taking multiples of the Ukrainian casualties without ever supplying a credible explanation for the disparity. However, there are some genuine reasons why they’re able to keep up the deception, which I’ll run through:
ScaleUkraine is a bit smaller than Texas. The line of contact between the two sides would stretch from the White House down to the middle of Florida. The fighting is occurring on a scale unseen since World War 2 and thus nothing for which anyone would develop a frame of reference during the GWOT. Units are often stationed far apart, there’s not really a solid line.
Everything NATO can feasibly provide is being sent to Ukraine. According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, and as of April 2nd, it has destroyed: 405 airplanes, 228 helicopters, 3,641 drones, 415 mobile AA systems, 8,510 tanks and armored fighting vehicles, 1,077 MRLS, 4,485 artillery pieces, and 9,270 special military motor vehicles. One can infer that the loss of life entailed has been absolutely horrific because Ukraine refuses to release anything that would approach an honest assessment.
Iraq as a Frame of ReferenceThis is nothing like what the U.S. military has ever taken on in its entire history. However, what happens is that people naturally compare it to the invasion of Iraq, which the U.S. appeared to go through like a hot knife through butter. They conclude that Russia hasn’t done the same thing to Ukraine because of some combination of cowardice, incompetence, shoddy equipment, and supply issues, which the West is constantly fed nonsense about by the media.
Iraq is a much smaller country, most of which is desert. Much of the population is along a corridor from Basra to Baghdad. Its military was dilapidated and poorly motivated, to the extent it was at all. Some of the commanders didn’t offer any opposition because they’d accepted bribes. This was nothing like the enormous, modern, well-trained and equipped military that the Russians went up against last year.
Fortifications In a desperate World War 3 scenario, Ukraine was where the Soviets would make their last stand against NATO because it would all be open ground from there to Moscow and they really didn’t trust the Warsaw Pact countries to fight to the last man in their defense. Ukraine was the first place NATO would encounter that was populated by Russians willing to do that sort of thing.
The country is peppered with redundant and dispersed facilities, many of which are fortified and underground. The gigantic bunker complex where the Azov Battalion held out is one of many. In Donbass, the Soviets built their version of the Maginot Line which NATO then had eight years to turn into an even bigger fun house.
The Russians are constrained from flying overhead and dropping large bombs on them due to Ukraine’s anti-aircraft (AA) network, which will be covered next. Instead, they’re forced to cut them off and reduce them with artillery (a lot them are too deep in the rear for that) before going in and clearing them out. It’s a difficult and lengthy process. Assaulting them head on would be suicidal, and yet I’ve been told that’s what the Russians are doing with waves of conscripts like this is a scene from Enemy at the Gates.
Anti-AircraftThe Ukrainians inherited an enormous AA network designed and stockpiled for World War 3, along with everything that could be squeezed out of the former Soviet satellites for this conflict. These systems are very effective, particularly the long-range S-300 which can operate far beyond the reach of Russian artillery.
Thanks to the amazing technical capabilities and scale of NATO’s C4ISR support, these units are fed real time information on what’s coming, from where, and even what it was loaded up with at the airfield. They only need to turn on the radar to fire the missiles. Then, they move to the next location.
When they get taken out, it’s usually because they were visually located by a Russian drone and then hit with a Lancet loitering munition or an Iskander missile. In Serbia, NATO only managed to take out about half of their Soviet network and lost a vaunted stealth fighter. That was a much smaller situation, and the Serbs didn’t have the support the Ukrainians receive.
AirstrikesThus far, air strikes on Ukraine have mostly been carried out by “lofting,” a technique in which fighters fly to the perceived edge of an AA zone, launch their ordnance, and do a U-turn as they deploy flares. In Syria, U.S. and Israeli F-35s do the same procedure thanks to these same Soviet systems. That’s not terribly effective compared to flying overhead and dropping a big bomb.
The problem for Ukraine is that they can’t produce more AA missiles and anything available from NATO has already been provided. They can’t produce more missiles for the systems, either. An objective of massive Russian cruise missile barrages is to drain the stockpiles. That’s one reason why they’re accompanied by old ones without warheads (used as decoys).
Glide bombs guided by GLONASS are now being deployed in some areas which can be dropped from distances of up to 70km. When the Russians are confident of being safe from AA, they’ve dropped really big stuff like the FAB-3000. So, that could be what’s in store for the denouement of this conflict if the AA network collapses.
Counteroffensives Seizing ground can represent victory but not on open terrain devoid of strategic value. On the vast steppe, taking advantage of superior firepower and mobility to hit your enemy as he moves forward in a vain attempt to strike you is a much smarter tactic.
The dumb thing would be to hold your ground and negate this decisive advantage. Ownership of the ground is decided later by your enemy’s defeat. This was a signature tactic of the Mongols. It works even better with pre-sighted heavy artillery. The Russians have been practicing this ever since the invasion of Phase One concluded.
The media gives the public the impression that these offensives smash the Russian lines, forcing them to retreat in panic with enemy fire to their backs. This has never happened.
For instance, the Russians evacuated the city of Kherson to avoid being trapped in a static fight with their backs to a river in the flood zone of a dam. They’d take unnecessary heavy casualties going head-to-head with everything NATO could send at them.
Prior to this move, President Vucic of Serbia warned that NATO was trying to set up a new Battle of Stalingrad. Days before Zelensky’s publicity stunt downtown, Russian forces, along with anyone who wished to leave, were pulled east, back across the Dnieper River. They even took the statues with them.
Somewhere between five to seven Ukrainian brigades (!!!!!) were lost. When this is over, those men will still be dead, while the land will return to Russian control. The Western headlines for which their lives were sacrificed won’t mean anything. That’s the grim logic of what’s going on.
These counteroffensives have been pitched as major victories when, in fact, they trade Ukrainian lives for propaganda to bolster public opinion. Bringing the Ukrainians out into the open, en masse, is only helping to get them hit with barrages in a war that is dictated by positional artillery battles.
ManpowerThe Russian army does have conscripts, but they’re not being thrown in to die in droves. I was told by a lieutenant colonel that they were being sent forward without even having rifles to expose Ukrainian positions by getting killed. The reality is that last winter’s 380,000-man mobilization came from volunteers and their version of the Individual Ready Reserve.
Wagner Group is more like a version of the French Foreign Legion than the companies contracted by the Department of Defense. The prisoners in Wagner Group are treated like soldiers and fight alongside contractors, mostly in small fire teams. They have a good chance of getting killed, but it’s not like Red Army penal units from World War 2. It’s a very Russian way of utilizing men who’d otherwise be useless.
If you were languishing in federal prison and offered the chance to have a life again in exchange for storming urban areas of Mexico, that could be a very attractive deal. But, like everything else, this is cited as evidence of Putin’s desperation.
Kiev When the operation was launched last year, the Russians parked a column with about 40,000 soldiers outside of Kiev. That was a small fraction of what would be required subdue a city of that size. Their purpose was to tie down its much larger garrison and put political pressure on the Ukrainian government to negotiate. That would’ve been the rational decision for them, rather than being subjected to a slaughter with no chance of victory.
When it became clear that NATO wouldn’t allow any settlement and the operation moved into its next phase, the column dispersed. It wasn’t repelled by the Ukrainians. According to the media, this was a “siege” in which the Russians were defeated. It’s a key piece of a false narrative that’s kept up the deception for over a year.
I had some officers tell me we should have gone in and wiped them out, like it was the Highway of Death from the First Gulf War. The sense of impunity these guys felt at what would have been the start to an apocalyptic conflict is unnerving, but it’s par for the course after everything that’s transpired for over 20 years.
When foreign leaders and celebrities appear in Kiev for these publicity stunts, it’s because they’re allowed to by the Russians. Anything over the city can be intercepted from Belarusian airspace. They can hit any facility they want, no matter how deep, with a Kinzhal hypersonic missile that will plunge into the ground at Mach 15, creating some sort of plasma field in front of it. These things can be launched from deep inside Russia and can’t be intercepted.
When Biden visited, the media left out the fact that this was approved personally by Putin, just like all the other foreign leaders. If Russia was losing, these stunts would be humiliations, but this is not what’s actually happening. They’re allowed to visit because, in the end, they just serve as an embarrassment. Imagine if President Ford had made a trip to Saigon, claimed North Vietnam was going to be defeated, and promised unwavering support.
They’re Not Attacking Us That’s the simple street math: we’re fighting them but they’re not fighting back, this means they’re too scared of us. To be fair, there are American military personnel in Ukraine, whom the Russians agreed not to target. We also had experts like General Petraeus assuring us that Russia was on the verge of catastrophic defeat and that if NATO decided to step in, we’d wipe the floor with them quickly. Once again, this isn’t true.
Last month, the Russians launched the largest missile attack thus far in retaliation for a cross-border incursion that injured a bunch of children. Reportedly included in the barrage were six Kinzhals. Those would only be used to hit things that were heavily fortified and important. One of those targets was apparently a bunker in the far west. It’s being claimed that around 40 American officers and intelligence personnel were killed.
If this is what happened, it would make sense. It preceded the simulated nuclear attack on St. Petersburg in which a U.S. bomber pulled away just before reaching Russian airspace and the incredibly expensive, advanced drone getting flown in an irregular course over the Black Sea, to which the Russians reacted by spraying it with fuel (a Soviet tactic) to take it down for reverse-engineering. Turkey won’t allow the U.S. Navy into the Black Sea, so only they can recover it. We can be assured that the media will avoid discussing this humiliation.
As far as I can tell, the U.S. has responded by sending more money to Ukraine. Doing anything more would get American personnel killed. If the Russians were scared of an American response, this wouldn’t have happened. A lot of these things we’ll probably only find out about later, so there’s not much point in speculating about a bunch of other stuff.
When this is all over and the consequences start really setting in, most of the people fooled into supporting this evil insanity won’t learn anything from what happened due to their ignorance and credulous nature. I’m pretty sure they’ll get distracted by something else and then fooled again. When you watch the same shit happen multiple times, it’s not unreasonable to conclude it’ll just keep happening.

Transgenderism was always equality’s final battlefield. We simply did not see this last battlefield through the clutter of so many other deleterious, social, and political movements. The idea that the sexes are mutable was an inevitability once we – as a society – subscribed to the ungodly notion that we are all “equal.” God stated otherwise, but in our collective society’s dismissal of Him, we have replaced the Word of God with the words of man. Our veneration for a document called the Constitution has become our undoing. Our faith in the Constitution is part of the problem.
The greatest fault of the Constitution is the following: through the amendment and legislative process, the Constitution is grounded in nothing but the collective whims of the majority. The Bible is a book of unassailable truths that do not change regardless of time. Many may differ the interpretation of its words, but that is left to the courtrooms and juries of the faithful – i.e., the churches and their congregants. By contrast, the Constitution is susceptible to emotional appeals, and that is only amplified due to “equality.”
God did not make us equals. Contrary to interpretations of Galatians 3:28, the verse that states “there is neither Jew nor Greek… male nor female,” the verse was referring to equality under the law – specifically the laws of God, to which applicable sacrifices were fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus. The same author of that letter to the Galatians provides explicit directions to the faithful in the same epistle, as well as other letters, whereby Paul clearly distinguishes between men, women, slaves, slaveowners, Greeks, and Jews. Paul never stated we are equal, but the preceding line that is often forgotten provides a caveat for the application of the verse: “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” (Galatians 3:27; emphasis my own). In other words, those who are not Christians do not enjoy the benefit of this new relationship between God and Christians. They are not our equals. Those who are Christians enjoy blanket protections provided by faith that are denied to non-Christians. Let us explore that concept further before returning to the Constitution.
At its core, Christianity establishes inequality on a sacred level. There are Christians going to Heaven through Christ and non-Christians who reject Jesus and are thus going to Hell. That is obviously not blanket equality. By definition, those are spiritual distinctions – one good (Christians) and one bad (non-Christians). The American Constitution inherently rejects this Biblical fact because it allows the non-Christian to practice a faith in a manner that is equal to the Christian. In other words, out of the gate – the First Amendment – the Constitution directly defies God’s will.
Even if it was not the original intention of the majority Christian Founding Fathers – all of whom derived from Christian ethno-nationalist communities – the Constitution codified equality of good (Christianity) and bad (anti-Christians). The fact that the states maintained Christian state faiths after the acceptance of the Constitution until 1833 did not abrogate this inherent moral divergence at a federal level. This flaw in the very first amendment creates the conditions by which the Constitution inevitably leads to a godless conclusion.
The next great failure of the Constitution was its lack of codified racial distinctions. The Constitution was written by White Christian men (some Deists) in a time when Europe was the dominant continent and Eurocentric, libertine values were on the ascendancy. The idea of Asian, African, or Indian equality was never considered by the authors. As such, their very definition of “man” did not extend to Africans – whom they enslaved – nor Indians – many of whom they slaughtered. Orientals were an entirely distinct and curious species on the other end of the world. Consequently, the document was written as a treatise on European equality, defined by European ideals and European identity. This is evident by the 3/5ths clause regarding black populations in slave holding states. Still, the Constitution never established unequal racial distinctions.
God created physical nations. God intended those nations to remain distinct. Jesus’ parting commission to His Apostles at the end of the Book of Matthew amplifies this reality: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Matthew 28:19-20) Each nation is different. It is clear that Jesus intends us to remain separate. The Constitution attempts to use European idealism to transcend God given nationalism.
Until the 14th Amendment, the Constitution and the Bible largely complemented one another with regard to the racial composition and definition of distinct racial nations. But this was largely by default. Free Blacks could vote throughout these United States – North and South – but they were few and far between. They were statistically insignificant, and in most cases, they faced impediments to voting similar to those of poorer, uneducated Whites. Still, the Constitution attempted to do that which the Bible never attempted to do. It sought to supplant the definition of racial and ethnic nations with a definition predicated on ideological nationality.
The Bible is clear that it wants Christians to spread the Word of Christ and convert as many souls as possible to the Good News. But it is also very explicit in its ethno-racial distinctions. From the time of the Tower of Babel, not only does God impose a division amongst mankind, He also assigns certain genetic traits to different peoples.
There is a reason, for instance, that individuals with greater levels of skin melanin also have genetically lower levels of recorded intelligence (e.g., IQ scores). Similarly, those with the presence of the genetically inherited mutation of the Monoamine oxidase A gene (MAOA gene) are prone to Brunner Syndrome – which manifests in a lack of impulse control, violent outbursts, and extreme aggression. This is a genetic trait nonexistent in pure Whites but found in two thirds of blacks and Polynesian males. God created mutations necessary for Africans and Polynesians to thrive within environments by which a lack of complex thought, a propensity for extreme violence, and a protection from sun exposure were critical to their survival.
In effect, when the greatest threat to one’s survival is a swift cheetah, God created people who are not sitting around dwelling upon esoteric concepts in a subdued state getting sun burned all day. Africans are genetically designed to physically react with little thought in the most aggressive manner possible to ensure their survival. Such a people are not well suited to colder climate, White societies that relied upon complex thoughts predicated on law and order. The greatest threat to Whites was not the swift cheetah, but the long, harsh deprivation of winter. God created genetic Whites to conceive and react in different ways to a distinctly different threat to survival – discipline, impulse control, and organized violence became the prevailing traits of White society.
Of course, these are small examples of the broader differences between Whites, blacks, and others. It is neither antagonistic toward them nor dismissive of their God-given design. Rather, it is simply a fact that we are built differently. Our physicality is distinct. Our blood-types were distinct until interbreeding occurred at some point, introducing levels of variety between all racial categories. Our mental acuity is different. God made those differences, and they are not equal.
The ability of blacks to generally run faster than Whites is a function of genetic distinctions that are not equal. The capacity of Asians to enjoy higher IQ levels than blacks and Whites makes us unequal. The ability of Whites to create enduring, complex architectural maritime infrastructure makes us unequal. Each is more prone to different diseases than the other. We are prone to different vices. We are not the same.
The Constitution arbitrarily accounted for these distinctions while White men ruled a society built by White men designed around White laws. With the 14th Amendment, God given racial distinctions were eliminated. Jim Crow Laws in the South tried to reconcile the federal Constitution’s “equality under the law” with the God given genetic reality of distinctions. Although it took nearly a hundred years, the collapse of Jim Crow Laws directly contributed to a complete collapse of functional, independent black communities in the South. We have since further devolved into a chaotic attempt to maintain functional White legal and judicial systems while simultaneously attempting to remain “color blind.” That is impossible.
The God given genetic construct of black people makes it more difficult for them to function under White systems of government. They lack a genetic appreciation or mentality to accept White conditions – thus, their demands to dismantle “White Privilege.” Meanwhile, well-intentioned American conservatives attempt to transpose the needs of two very different races to facilitate the ideals of a 17th and 18th Century Enlightenment ideology documented in the non-racialist Constitution. That is bound to fail. The Constitution was written at a time in which racialism was essentially an accepted fact that did not require codification to be understood by the parties involved. No one needed to remind James Madison or Roger Sherman of their racial primacy as White men, even if the latter never owned slaves. Regardless, they never thought to mandate racial designations because a day in which the races were considered “equal” never entered their minds. Why? They knew such a concept ran contrary to God’s Biblical law. We are designed to be separated at a minimum. How do I know? The Book of Genesis and the Curse of Ham is a start – a concept the Founders knew well.
Yet, the Constitutional Republic completely unravels on the altar of equality when it is sacrificed to the emotional appeal and dictates of women. If the First Amendment is flawed due to its imposition of equality for non-Christians, and the Fourteenth Amendment – which may be illegal due to its lack of ratification – is flawed due to its dismissal of God given, genetic distinctions, then the Nineteenth Amendment becomes the coup de grâce to the ungodly American experiment. This nail in the coffin of the ungodly Enlightenment experiment not only empowered the exploitation of emotional appeals to undermine patriarchal order, but it also directly contrasted God’s conditions of male authority.
The Bible is extremely clear that men and women are not equal. Yet, under the Constitution, they are now equals. With this equality comes a feminine form of intrusion into decisions that often require a much harder appreciation for “moral hazard.”
The concept of moral hazard is often confused with morality. It is not. It is a full appreciation for the downstream consequences of decisions. Men are more likely to consider downstream consequences when voting on policies, as evidenced by polling. Women often think of immediate returns without regard for such consequences. Again, polling bears this out in the political identities of non-LGBT male and female voters and their motivations.
The introduction of women voters comes with the introduction of female policy makers – rulers – who can then impose their will upon the people through their decision making. Returning to Galatians 3:28, “ala carte Christians” feel this power dynamic is consistent with this one verse. They seem to ignore Timothy 2: 11-14: “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” Paul is clear about the nature of men and women – the latter being deceived from the beginning and exploited now.
The fact that men and women are not equal does not provide license for men to be wicked toward women. By the contrary, men are required to love the women in their lives and have key obligations to care for women. Emphasizing the unique and unequal differences of men and women, Paul concludes his first epistle to Timothy, chapter two, with the following regarding women: “Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.” (1 Timothy 2:15) In other words, we are unequal, but not less important. Women have an unequal and unique ability to deliver life.
Returning to the Constitution, there are women who are clearly capable of forethought and conservation. I know them. There are women who are strong in their commitment to national integrity and moral composure. I am married to one. But there are, unfortunately, more women – especially in their youth – who are more susceptible to emotional dictates that have a negative downstream consequence – a moral hazard – than men. Thus, the admonishment from God regarding female rulership is a constant theme throughout the Bible, while great women are praised when they complement their men.
One of my favorite series of verses in the Bible is Proverbs 31:10-31.
“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.”
(KJV – emphasis my own)
The woman described in Proverbs 31 is not weak. There is nothing powerless about the wife described. But she also does not sit in her husband’s position at the gates “among the elders of the land.” The American Constitution places her in the gates.
The United States is based upon a document that is foundationally anti-Christian. It has some great components – freedoms of speech, due process, and gun rights are such examples. But the document is ripe for exploitation by antichrists.
The term antichrist is defined by John the Apostle, in 1 John 2: 22-23: “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.” Ask yourself, which faiths deny the sanctity of Jesus Christ – King of Kings and Holy Redeemer? Such that deny Christ are definitionally “antichrists.” You are instructed to avoid them. Instead, we have invited them into our country and to rule over us.
The American Constitution opens the American people to ungodly exploitation through the weaponization of equality it seeks to achieve by those who deny Jesus Christ. In its quest to make us all equal, the Constitution subverts God given definitions and distinctions. This leads to an ungodly conclusion led by an ungodly people. Now you know how transgenderism under the guise of equality and “love” becomes a social and political movement in such a system. With the expansion of each subsequent definition of equality, we eventually invite demons to enjoy the equality of angels.
How would we fix the Constitution? I argue that the First Amendment should be restricted to a Freedom of Religious expression exclusively for Christians. That would fix a lot of problems almost immediately – but unfortunately, it is too late.

After reading the article “West Virginia in A Free Dixie,” I’ve decided to address the Western Question in my own article. The Western Question is one that should be redressed in the aftermath of both Arizona and New Mexico falling to Democratic Party governors in 2022. I will also briefly touch on the issue of Texas and Oklahoma as “Western” states on the periphery of a proposed, future Southern Confederacy.
TexasI’ll start off with Texas, as it’s the most Southern of these proposed “Western” states. Texas, by and far, is a state often scored by more hardline racialists for its high Hispanic population. Despite the large Hispanic population, and an increasing amount of California transplants, Texas has remained largely rightwing and even re-elected a Republican governor and state legislature. As it stands, there’s also many Texas Nationalists, some in the Texas Nationalist Movement, who may be wary of joining another “union of states.” However, I think Texas would be better off in another Southern Confederacy. Texas does indeed have its own identity and a mixed culture due to the size and founding of the state. Regardless, it shares common DNA and history with her sister states in the Southeast. In an Independent Southland, Texas would become the leading country due to its population, economy, and size. Unlike the modern American Empire, it would be the top dog, instead of the liberal, socialist state of California. In short, Texas could become independent but would fit nicely in another Southern Confederacy.
Oklahoma Oklahoma is another “Western” state in a proposed Free Dixie. Oklahoma is more of a true mix of Southern and Northern interests, mixed in with Indian tribes. Despite all of this, the state has remained a conservative stronghold, making it less of a political threat than a cultural one. I would say Oklahoma may be “less Southern” than Texas and Louisiana, but it shares more with Arkansas and Texas than it does with the other Great Plains states. A Second Confederacy could function with or without Oklahoma, but little to no harm would be done by adding the Sooner State. Given Texas is likely to be the first to secede from modern America, it’s likely Oklahoma might be one of the first to follow. In such a case, a close alliance with Texas would probably occur. I believe both Texas and Oklahoma belong in the Southern Confederacy and will ultimately end up in it due to the strong political and cultural ties to the rest of the South.
Arizona and New MexicoThe Far West of the Confederacy is one that likely causes the most controversy due to it being more “Western” than Southern. Arizona and New Mexico, unlike Texas and Oklahoma, both have Democrat governors, making legal secession nearly impossible anytime soon. Both of these states have large Hispanic populations that heavily favor the Democratic Party, a party extremely hostile to the Southern people. Therefore, I would argue that there are few options for these two states. First off, once the South has formed its new nation, we could use New Mexico as a bargaining chip for Texas Nationalists. If the American Empire is weak enough at the time of a new Southern polity, we could cut a deal with New Mexico and a Free Texas. In such a scenario, a Confederate Texas could annex Eastern New Mexico and absorb it into its state. While such an annexation may strike some as concerning due to the Hispanic population of New Mexico, it should be noted that the eastern part of New Mexico is very White and consistently votes conservative. While New Mexico, as a whole, hasn’t even elected a Republican presidential candidate since 2004, the eastern half has consistently voted for the Republican Party. Due to this political isolation, many residents of this part of the state might prefer to join Texas in a Southern Nation rather than being lorded over by progressives. I think annexing all of New Mexico would likely cause significant cultural and political issues due to its liberal challenges in the rest of the state.
Arizona, likewise, is another issue. Like New Mexico, it was claimed by the Old Confederacy. Although old Arizona was geographically different, today it would be difficult to argue that the state is really Southern. The state also doesn’t border a hardline Southern state like Texas, and joining a Free Dixie could prove messy. Arizona might be more conservative than New Mexico. However, it is more of a liability due to the spread-out nature of its population. I would propose that a proper inclusion should be left down the road because of Arizona’s geographic, political and cultural issues. A better option would be focusing on strongly influencing the state, via Southern cultural and political pressure, to become a bastion of “Southernism” in the West.
In many ways, it would be wise to push for official independence of the Navajo Nation – advocating for parts of Coconino, Apache and Navajo counties to be added into their own country. This Northeastern region of Arizona is strongly liberal leaning due to the Indians and other Hispanics. By handing this region fully over to the Navajo, it would decrease and disrupt the political power of the Left in Arizona. An Independent Arizona, governed by traditionalists, could be a valuable ally for a future Southern Nation. Applying pressure to an Arizona country, to either leave what’s left of the American Empire and or to “Southernize,” could be successful if done correctly. I’d imagine a flag change could top off a successful alliance, rather than annexation of the state.
To summarize, in a very hypothetical world where someone like yours truly could be heading the South’s foreign affairs, I’d likely strike a bargain with Texas Nationalists and use the annexation of Eastern New Mexico into a larger Texas state in order to entice them to join a Free Dixie. From there, a new Southern Confederacy could aim for the full recognition of the Navajo Nation to weaken either a liberal Free Arizona or an Arizona tied to the Empire. This would break away some liberals in the eastern portion of the state, allowing for traditionalists to assume power. From that point, they could secede from the Empire, assuming it exists or has power at this time. Going forward, a rightwing Arizona could become an ally of the Southern people, while remaining its own entity. It would also create a buffer state in the Southwest against the American remnant or socialist California.
I would like to say this is largely conjecture and thought-provoking fun, but it’s important to map out the direction of our sovereignty and freedom. We should begin envisioning a future Free Dixie, one not chained to the American Empire, in order to raise our morale rather than black pilling. I’d love to hear from other readers on this subject, even if they disagree with my proposals. I think a good faith discussion on this subject could be enjoyable for all Southern Nationalists.

One thing that all of us need to agree on is that once we win, we need to make sure that the new system does not allow prehistoric individuals in positions of leadership.
Looking at modern America, we resemble a geriatric clown asylum. In fact, many countries of modernity do:
Most people expect Biden to be a boomer, but he is so old he isn’t even in boomer territory. He’s in the silent generation.
Additionally, the 118th Congress (current congress) is the third oldest since 1789. The average age in the Senate is 63.9 years.
The problem is widespread. Here are just a few more examples:
Just off the top of my head. I am sure there are plenty more.
Jerome Powell still gets his information from newspapers, Biden clearly has dementia, and Janet Yellen looks like a mummy. Yet here we are: the rulers of the age.
I love my grandma very much, but I do not want her in charge of our nation’s finances or geopolitical strategy. After a certain age, it is best for everyone to find other useful applications of their time. Like enjoying retirement or hanging out with the grandkids. Leading a nation should not be one of those youthful-reminiscing pastimes.
Old people are essential in the rearing and education of younger generations, but they should not be the face of the nation. We need a maximum age, just like we have a minimum age.
But I guess in the context of the American Empire it is fitting, because we are nearing the end of our state’s lifecycle. Our state is old and decrepit, so now our leadership reflects that.
Once this state caves in on itself, the next batch of leaders needs to be adults – not nursing home candidates. And we need to solidify this in the system so it can never return.
Youthful leadership does not guarantee virtuosity or success, but it at least guarantees the leaders are semi-conscious and have a faint concept of the modern generations’ struggles. Something we sorely lack here in the United States today.

Douglass Mackey faced a solitary charge that centers around his use of Twitter to allegedly deprive someone from exercising their constitutional right to vote. Tucker Carlson recently spotlighted the insanity of the political prosecution. It has had little coverage like run of the mill federal cases, but some legal experts have weighed in on the tricky application of a Reconstruction era law for tweeting. It is the meme trial. He has been found guilty of the one charge after deliberations that lasted nearly as long as the trial.
Does anyone know anything about this trial? The Epoch Times had a reporter file a report on the opening statements and then nothing else. Some SPLC affiliated reporters have covered it from inside the courtroom, but their angle is on extremism. They do not cite testimony or specifics of the case. If Jack Posobiec is to be believed, one such reporter was scolded by the judge during “Microchip’s” testimony. It is a shame as we still do not know specifics about how this odd case came to trial. The best rundown of the week long trial is here.
How did EDNY claim venue jurisdiction? This was part of the motion to dismiss. No victim could be found. The defendant was in the SDNY district. That tweets are data that travel over cables and possibly pass through a territory (maybe WiFi data waves?) seems to be the only explanation because the defendant was in another jurisdiction. Did it happen because Clinton campaign HQ was in EDNY? That cannot work since the supposed crime is a conspiracy denying others of their right to vote. Why did SDNY not prosecute? It might be that SDNY passed on this or might not have considered it at all. Learning that could help us understand the government’s motive for pursuing the case (outside of who/whom).
We know that the user Microchip was the star witness. Prosecutors asked for his identity to be sealed, arguing successfully, despite the highly unusual reasons. The rationale was cooperation with ongoing investigations and fear of stochastic terror threats to his life. Was his testimony worthwhile? The Feds needed one for a conspiracy but the linked trial summary above states he changed his story over the course of 20 interviews with the FBI. A sealed cooperating witness is unusual. So was private ‘nudging’ of a defense witness that skirts the line of intimidation. We do not know the full story with that, but the defense had a witness until a reporter contacted him about old private emails. Every trick was used here for this trial.
The system is set up to attack any threat. Mackey’s work as an online troll was a threat. He feels the full force of that system now. He has for two years. His case also shows the weaknesses on the Right. There was no automatic defense fund for him. He had to scour for a lawyer as there is no rightwing legal club to spring to the defense of a partisan in a political prosecution. Some lawyers are rightwing, and they will need to overcome reluctance to touch portions of their coalition to prevent kangaroo courts. The Left, up and down the chain, are defending a transgender shooter who killed children. They bail out felons all of the time. It’s not a fight if only one side participates. It’s a beatdown.
If one is to believe he was as influential online as the experts say, defending Mackey is a no brainer for the Right. While just one figure, he represented the presence of a young tech savvy rightwing. The Left never knew it existed, even Gamergate did not prepare them for the ’16 cycle. Mackey represented a high engagement user base that despite the ‘capitalism drives choices’ meme, social media banned and limited against their economic interests. This crowd can be a strong force and should not be left out in the cold.
Even then, if the crime was conspiracy, what is the difference between his memes and privately produced polls released before the election that show (just one example) Biden with a 17-point lead in Wisconsin? Could we subpoena all the communications between those who pay for it, those who run it and those who publish it? Of course not, who/whom. Their defense can be golly gee we were wrong. That’s a legal conspiracy to depress voter turnout. If it comes down to the text to vote meme, how is it separated from the other nonsense tweet memes that said tweet to vote, vote Wednesday, etc.? It is up to all voters to evaluate information and make a decision (albeit one that can be swamped by 3AM vote dumps). The entire 2020 election story was full of falsehoods, from Covid to George Floyd riots to Hunter Biden’s laptop. Where do we draw the line? You know where, who/whom.
Who/whom will be used to apply the precedent set by this. This is about protecting the narratives in the info war that is never-ending. All misinfo that deprives one of exercising constitutional rights is at risk, but as we have learned the last few years, misinfo just means counter-narrative. So much that was deemed misinfo was proven true six, twelve or eighteen months later. If investigators can build a case quickly, they can arrest, indict, and prosecute people for prison sentences in time for the misinfo to be proven true. Where does it all go? Wherever the Left says it goes.
Outside of his legal team, Doug Mackey has faced this alone. He did not take a deal. He has fought this through to the end. He serves as an example of standing strong. He should not have had to, and if the Right ever wants to really fight, it has to admit the existential nature of the fight. Now in his thirties, Mackey was a mid-twenties young man doing his work in ‘16. For all the trad talk about family, it took the work of a bachelor to fight the meme war and elect Trump. Bachelors can take more risks. He was a young patriot who put on a mask at a critical moment. Mackey now faces a future of more legal bills as he appeals, and potential jail time. He will never be forgotten. First, he was the account that garnered the most attention because he was the best. Now, for the very same reason, he becomes a meme martyr.

The United States went through a great number of significant cultural changes over the past decade, almost all of them negative. None were as significant as the shift over transgenderism. A similar shift can be observed regarding the Confederate battle flag and the other symbols of Dixie. In 2010, the Confederate battle flag was still proudly flying throughout all of Dixie; whereas in 2020, even “Dixie Beer” was no longer acceptable. As much as I hate it, there were still mainstream controversies over the symbols of Dixie.
But that is not what happened with transgenderism in the 2010s. In 2010, it was almost universally considered abhorrent by the vast majority of society, even to the Left. At the start of the decade, the leftwing position would have been something akin to, “they’re messed up, but be nice to them.” However, over the course of the last decade, the movement became a juggernaut, enjoying the near universal support of academia, corporations, and the government. Even the military, once a bedrock of traditional masculinity, and an institution historically dominated by Southerners, went along with it. And, it really did appear as if nothing could stop it. When North Carolina tried to pass a law protecting women in the bathroom, the result ended in failure. When Trump tried to ban transgenders from serving in the military, the response from the top brass was immediate stonewalling. Contrast this to the early 1990s, when Bill Clinton tried to rescind the ban on homosexuals serving in the military, and the top brass, including Colin Powell, balked, eventually forcing Clinton to settle for the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” compromise; even then, the military had to be drug kicking and screaming to accept it. By 2020, it looked as if the transgender movement would completely swallow American society with little fight.
Now, more and more states are taking steps to restrict and combat the movement. These states tend to be clustered in Dixie, setting themselves for yet another showdown with the federal government. More broadly, the victories of the transgender movement have significantly slowed down and, in some cases, even been halted or forced into retreat. These are all positive developments, for sure. And while I don’t want to be a downer, I do not think the Right can be overly confident in a coming total victory. To understand why, we must look at the history of the homosexual “rights” movement that preceded the transgender one.
Studying the history of the 1970s, it really is remarkable how quickly the homosexual rights movement progressed. In 1969, every state in the Union, with the exception of the Land of Lincoln (curiously enough), had a law banning sodomy on the books and they were still being enforced. Throughout the 1970s, each of these laws were repealed. By the end of the decade, almost every state outside Dixie, and certain parts of the Mountain West and Midwest, had legalized sodomy. Even in the states where the anti-sodomy laws remained, these laws were rarely, if ever, enforced. The traditionalists were rapidly (and badly) losing. In 1978, California Assemblyman John Briggs introduced Proposition 6, known to history as the Briggs Initiative, that sought to ban homosexuals from teaching in the California public school system. Although the Briggs Initiative was able to get on the ballot, it ended up failing miserably. Ronald Reagan even came out opposed to it, and when the election was finally held, it was defeated by nearly 20 points. It even managed to fail in Orange County, at the time a stronghold of the John Birch Society and Brigg’s home county. Even when the traditionalists won, it would appear to be for naught. In 1977, Anita Bryant, a former beauty contestant, singer, and then spokeswoman for the Florida Citrus Commission, began a public campaign to repeal a Miami-Dade County ordnance that prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation. Her efforts were successful, at least on the ballot, receiving almost 70% of the vote. But it was a pyrrhic victory, as Bryant was fired from her job as a spokeswoman after a boycott. She very quickly went into severe financial decline and found herself to be the frequent butt of jokes in popular culture. The message was loud and clear: “We’re taking over, and there is nothing you can do about it.”
Then, something happened. Around 1980, doctors began to notice men coming in with cases of incredibly rare illnesses. The fact that these rare illnesses were popping up this frequently meant something big was happening. Soon, the medical community settled on an answer. The men in question had nothing in common except two points: 1) they were homosexuals and 2) they used intravenous drugs. It was soon decided that these men had severely weakened immune systems thanks to these activities. It was the beginning of the AIDS crisis, and the connection between the disease and homosexual activity was considered so strong that AIDS was originally called GRID (Gay Related Immune Deficiency) – until terroristic threats forced a name change. The response from the gay community was not to change their behavior one iota, but rather to expect science to wave a magic wand and come up with an immediate solution. Even the early condom campaigns were met with jeers of “sexual Nazis.” When New York City Mayor Ed Koch took a common-sense public health measure, shutting down the bathhouses, he was also met with resistance.
The response to all of this from normal society was an immediate backlash. In the 1980s, AIDS was practically a death sentence. And, initially, there was still some uncertainty as to how it was spread. Even after it became clear how AIDS was transmitted, there was still fear over how far it would spread. AIDS had the potential to be a black death style disaster, and the population it was hitting the hardest refused to make any changes to its behavior. So, of course, normal people were aghast, and that fueled a great deal of backlash. Even Neil Young was disgusted by how homosexuals were acting. By the end of the 1980s, it was clear that the movement, that once looked unstoppable in 1979, had taken a serious hit. A change in strategy was needed. In 1989, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen wrote a book called After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the ‘90s. The book suggested a new approach, essentially arguing that homosexuals must moderate their rhetoric, act like they were taking AIDS seriously enough to alter their behavior, and portray themselves as victims. It would become the blueprint for what would transpire over the next few decades. As much as the Left would like to mock the idea of a “gay agenda,” here it was/is laid out in book form.
We can observe a parallel between this and the current transgender movement in key areas, just as the turning point in the 1980s was the rise of AIDS, the critical issues in the transgender movement appear to be: 1) biological men playing female sports and 2) the mutilation of children. In all three cases (AIDS, sports, and children), the backlash seems to be based on how the West’s moral framework has largely functioned since 1945, a heavy emphasis placed on the “care” principle – considering actions and opinions as immoral only if they harm others. This means Americans were largely willing to look the other way at homosexual activity in the 1970s – “if that’s what you want to do, go ahead.” But that calculation changed drastically when a deadly disease came into the picture. This is also why so many Americans were originally willing to overlook the transgender issue. But then they pushed the inclusion of biological men in female (including high school and college) sports, and that is when everything changed. Involvement in school sports is hard work, parents spend a lot of time and money on them. It means a lot of missed vacations. I know this from personal experience. Then, normal Americans, who were previously willing to look the other way, were met with a stark reality. All that hard work was going down the drain because their daughter was forced to compete with a biological male. We can see this, too, when children were brought into this madness. Millions of people, including those removed from the Dissident Right, had a feeling that children were being forced into transgenderism by misguided, overly eager mothers. Within a few years, there would be an epidemic of angry people who thought children had been pushed into something they were much too young to understand.
This is why I am skeptical of the recent conservative pushback, even as I do understand it is better than the alternative. It really does feel like a rehash of the 1980s. I predict that soon the transgender movement will begin to make superficial attempts at “moderation” and attempt to memory hole that they pushed for males in female sports or thought hormone blockers should be given to children, similar to the erasure of homosexuals refusing to alter their behavior in the face of AIDS. That is the moment the Right must prepare for; we cannot make the same mistakes that were made previously.
The post The Coming Pivotal Decade appeared first on Identity Dixie.
This essay is the third entry in the “Great Statesmen Series,” covering the woefully forgotten Eugene Talmadge from the Peach State.
“I am a native Georgian, and my ancestor on all sides of my family have been in Georgia for 150 years. I am steeped in Southern tradition and background. Neither I nor my people have ever strayed from the pasture of Southern tradition. We have not even leaned against the fence.”
The Wild Man
Southern Populism of the first half of the 20th Century carried many seasonings. Whereas Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi and Huey Long Sr. of Louisiana approached populism from a more liberal angle, Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, a state largely devoid of any significant developments in historic grassroots politics, brought with him a fire-eating, peach flavored blend to the mix. Quite unafraid to stir up a political raucous and utilize a strong-arm strategy to achieve his goals in every position he held, Talmadge ushered in, often forcefully and with much uproarious fanfare, conservative, rural, poor folk politics wherever and whenever possible, distinguishing himself from his liberal contemporary champions of the poor. This essay seeks to detail the life, politics, and legacy of the infamously rowdy, wild, and ornery Eugene Talmadge.
Born on September 23, 1884, in the old Talmadge house near Forsyth, Georgia, Eugene grew up on the farmland his family owned since 1824, purchased by his great-grandfather, Tom Talmadge. A slim boy with a thin gait and ill colored countenance due to having developed jaundice at a very early age and despite being reared in farm life, his family was quite affluent compared to most within the area at the time, and Gene, as his family called him, was better suited to reading and fishing than hard labor. Thomas Remalgus Talmadge, his father, noticed early that the young Gene had a knack for intelligence and ensured Gene received the best education Forsyth had to offer. Fortunately, Thomas amassed for himself a notable wealth, growing and ginning cotton following the Reconstruction, one of the very few in the area able to do so. A talented speaker and social influencer, Gene adored debate and often found any excuse to engage in it, and he also found anyway he could to influence the behavior of others, going so far as to talk other boys into fighting each other.
However, his greatest passion as a youth was delivering resplendent, grand speeches. Much like his Mississippi counterpart, Theodore Bilbo, he was simply born with the talent. Gene would often quote speeches made by Napoleon Bonaparte to family members who would humor his endeavor. Furthermore, he reveled in delight at viewings of local political leaders. His favorite, and by far the most influential, was Thomas Edward Watson, a Populist leader in Georgia.
Gene’s young adulthood proved far more difficult than his rearing. He attended the University of Georgia and would ultimately obtain a law degree there. Following this, he had a great difficulty in achieving success and had little direction in what career he wished to pursue. Moreover, his living in Atlanta brought with it a dissatisfaction with life, possibly out of jealousy for the success of local politicians and businessmen. Additionally, this came after his time as a successful academic and student leader at UGA. This resulted in the development of a dejected, belligerent, and downright mean personality. His father, who frequented Atlanta, noticed this and decided to send Gene away to the little village of Ailey for William Peterson. Forbye his disillusionment, Gene was the black sheep of his family, foregoing the genteel, aristocratic nature of his father and adopting a brash, belligerent, and unruly demeanor. Peterson’s idea was to have Gene board with his daughter, Mattie Thurmond Peterson, or “Mitt,” and Gene’s sister, Carrie, while also being in a new environment, particularly a thriving cotton town, to kickstart a law firm. It is also possible Peterson wanted a man around to protect the women.
During his time there, Gene and Mitt became smitten with each other. The courting process progressed so far that Gene decided to move to the nearby town of Mount Vernon, as it would have been seen as inappropriate for him to remain in Ailey with Mitt and Carrie. It was in Mount Vernon that Eugene set up his first law practice.
Gene’s early forays into public service were pitiable, pitiful, and humiliating. At that time, Georgia was run by a network of corrupt big hats known as the “courthouse gang.” Already notorious in the local community for his short temper and brash nature, Talmadge further alienated himself from local networking for his career as a lawyer by constantly butting heads with the infamous courthouse gang. Thus, he was forced to constantly settle for taking on unpopular cases. They consisted of cases in which the clients often had to pay with goods other than money, as they far to indigent to pay with anything other than food they grew or favors. This compounded onto his already negative reputation in Mount Vernon and pushed him further away from success, making him unable to bid for good and reputable cases or win local office. His only successes, between 1918 and 1926, were being elected as solicitor of city court of McRae in 1918 and serving as attorney for Telfair County from 1920 to 1923.
He finally broke into statewide political success in 1926 and stuck it to the courthouse gang by ousting JJ Brown from the position of state agricultural commissioner. Upon investigation, much of the internet appears deeply scrubbed of any details regarding his accomplishments in the position from 1926 to 1932. During his first two-year term alone, “Old” Gene managed to get his office bonded, clean out the last remnants of the highly corrupt Brown network, reduce the overall number of fertilizer inspectors, combat the heavily corrupt fertilizer industry, which happened to be the basis for his campaign, and expand his department into both food, drugs, and marketing. Furthermore, he used the department newspaper, the Market Bulletin, to provide a plethora of farming advice. In 1930 in order to save the collapsing hog market, Gene made a wise political decision to have the Bureau of Markets to buy and sell hogs. During his third term, Gene was investigated for pocketing money given to his department. In his defense, he astonishingly claimed in speeches, “Yeah, It’s true. I stole, but I stole for you, the dirt farmer!” This ironically turned him into a Robin Hood of sorts for Georgia’s rural population and only aided, not impeded, his popularity. By 1932, and with the impending ascension of the sitting governor from state office to the U.S. Senate, Gene’s gaze turned to the desire of a higher office.
Eventually, Old Gene defied expectations yet again upon winning the gubernatorial election of 1932, succeeding the supereminent Richard B. Russell Jr. and further weakening the courthouse gang. Utilizing his fire-eating, strong arm personality in every political scenario presented to him, Governor Talmadge relentlessly butted heads with the corrupt, moderate Georgia legislature. He employed a very idiosyncratic and unusual philosophy of populist idealism, defined by conservatism during a time when most populists were liberal or supported the New Deal. During his first two terms, he managed to lower car tag prices via executive order, reduced utility rates and created a new board to replace the Public Service Commission, seized control of the highway board by using martial law, crushed textile workers’ strikes with the National Guard, and decreased spending. These acts simply made him more popular than ever among his voters, and more maligned by his dumbfounded, unprepared enemies.
While he could have ridden the populist “Wild Man” persona for several more years or even the rest of his life, Gene ultimately made a series of mistakes in correlation with a perfect storm of misfortune during 1935 which permanently hindered his political capital and cost him time in office. Claiming that he allowed the “Republicans to wine and dine me” in his opposition to the New Deal, mocking President Roosevelt’s physical afflictions, running against the aforementioned incredibly popular president, and running against the popular and superlative Senator Richard Russell were a series of grievously asinine miscalculations and faux pas which amounted to nothing less than political suicide.
Old Gene discussing the New DealIn an effort to return to political success, Gene began, at least notionally, moderating his stance on the New Deal. His son and future Georgia Governor and U.S. Senator, Herman Talmadge, played a hand in this. Herman was a major adviser to Gene during the latter’s 1940 gubernatorial campaign, keeping in tandem with Gene’s habit of relying on his family members for political advice. He was ultimately successful and returned to the governorship in 1941. Though he may have calmed his anti-New Deal sentiments, genuinely endorsing and attempting to implement it would not have amounted to much. By 1941, the New Deal had already been greatly in decline, and many Southern senators and statesmen had already crippled or outright destroyed it in some cases. Talmadge effected little and accomplished even less during this term. However, he did manage to anger a significant amount of Georgia’s population, to include many of his own voters, in what was dubbed the “Cocking Affair.”
By this time in his career, Governor Talmadge became the mouthpiece of segregation and Jim Crowism in Georgia. This stance ultimately defined his third term. In 1941, Georgia universities began pushing the message of integration. Talmadge, through powers granted to the governorship in 1935, began firing staff members who supported integration, with the most prominent of them being the Dean of Education at the University of Georgia, Walter Cocking. Cocking’s firing was followed by the removal of members of the Georgia Board of Regents who disagreed with the Governor’s decision. All these firings destroyed the state’s schools’ accreditation, and what followed was a slew of anti-Talmadge sentiment among students, parents, and faculty members. As much as Georgians disliked integration, they disliked losing the ability to receive an education even more so. At that time, it was one of the only existing means for the populace to finally break out of abject poverty. The fallout was so great that it easily cost Gene reelection.
He won reelection to a fourth and final term in 1946, one of only two governors in all of Georgia’s history to win four elected terms; however, it did not last very long. At this point, he was 64 years old and quite ill due largely to his lifelong love of cigars and whiskey, and the campaign trail accelerated his senescence. On December 21, 1946, Governor-elect Eugene Talmadge passed away prior to assuming office due to hepatitis compounded with cirrhosis of the liver. It is claimed that his coffin, while lying in state at the Georgia capital, was decorated with a wreath provided by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. In death, he gave Georgia one last major bout of political chaos in the form of the “Three Governors Controversy,” in which three different men, Ellis Arnall, Melvin Thompson, and Herman Talmadge, all claimed the governorship. While Herman came out on top, the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled in favor of Thompson, and Herman ceded the office. Eugene’s legacy would continue via Herman upon the latter’s succession to the governorship in his own right during the 1948 election.
The Wild Man from Sugar Creek was a product of his time. Endorsing and Old South ideology during a time of inevitable economic growth and urbanization, Eugene Talmadge fought a losing battle. While his beliefs did have the best interests of poor farmers at heart, it is difficult to say whether or not his unyielding stances against any financial assistance to those folk ultimately kept them in the same state of pennilessness they already existed within. Knuckling down and pulling oneself up by their bootstraps can only carry them so far once they are already at rock bottom; however, he was not incorrect in believing this assistance would result in permanent dependence on the government in the long term. With that said, he did accomplish much veritable good. He made the voices of poor rural folk to the mainstream; weakened the corrupt courthouse gang; broke the unions, a notorious hotbed of communism; and did work to relieve some of the existential pain experienced by his constituents. So dedicated to his beliefs, he sacrificed much of his political career just in the defense of segregation. Despite the impact he had on the Peach State, he remains largely forgotten, especially in the wake of his son’s lengthy, successful, and formidable legacy of his own. However, Gene deserves to be remembered instead of being relegated to the dustbin of history, or rather the dust of the old dirt roads of the Old South he knew and wished to preserve.

We’re reaching a geopolitical inflection point. The proxy war against the Russian Federation, in order to facilitate its dismemberment, is becoming increasingly hard to market as a success. It hinged on utilizing America’s financial and economic dominance to implode Russia with sanctions overnight. That didn’t happen. Defeating them in a massive land war on their border was never feasible, despite the barrage of lies fed to the public about their cowardice, incompetence, and inability to supply their forces.

The dollar was turned into the instrument of Russia and China’s destruction. Of course, they figured out how to stop using it. Meanwhile, they’re unveiling a system in partnership with China designed to divorce themselves from U.S. dominance. This has been in the making for the better part of 20 years, after the leadership of both nations wised up to the fact that their sovereignty would never be accepted and efforts, by hook or by crook, would never cease to deprive them of it. At first, they’d continued with Cold War thinking and thus naively expected that by being reasonable they’d be treated with reason in return.
What they’re endeavoring to conclusively thwart is an effort by the neocons unleashed across multiple fronts as soon as the Cold War ended. The Soviet Union had functioned as a check on their ambitions, encompassing most of Central Asia and providing existential support to its Arab allies in the Middle East.
With it gone, everything came up for grabs. It seemed to the neocons that global domination became achievable (the first attempt resulted in Joseph Stalin). Instead of global communism, that turned out to be a disaster, the unrivaled power of the United States would be their instrument. The Wolfowitz Doctrine was immediately promulgated, advocating the use of force against any entity that could emerge as a constraint on unilateral action.
The first round of aggression against Iraq was conducted, Russia was looted, and an Islamic insurgency (a signature tactic) was unleashed in the Caucasus. The Serbs were subjected to a horrific bombing campaign after being accused of a fake genocide (noticing a pattern?) in order to insert NATO into the heart of Russian-friendly territory and put its former vassals on notice. This was all before the GWOT kicked off following 9/11.
None of these were separate events. In fact, the evil and megalomania that propel them can be traced back to the Talmud. In a political context, it’s probably easiest to start with Leo Strauss, an academic who emigrated from Germany in the 1930s. The neocons are a tight group of multiple generations. The first were his acolytes.
"The evildoers want the rest of us to give up—to conclude it’s hopeless to try to tell the truth; that falsehoods travel faster than facts; and that we tire of the effort to keep our values and our vision intact. That’s the best reason to stay with it."https://t.co/4U5Ck0pZeq

After putting their children through a meat grinder in the GWOT, he literally said that the White working-class deserves to be replaced. The context is important for understanding a ghoul like Bill Kristol. His father, Irving, is considered to be the founding neocon along with his historian mother, Gertrude Himmelfarb. Both were heavily influenced by Strauss who was quite secretive in his lectures to this cabal within a tribe.
This sort of connection is shared in the next generation by Victoria Nuland, who overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014, and her husband Robert Kagan. His Institute for the Study of War is the central mechanism for the media operation to deceive the public about the military situation in Ukraine. They’re just a couple of examples from a network that’s never dislodged from power no matter who gets elected.

They’re raiding the museums for tanks; unconditional Russian surrender is imminent. Saddam had those weapons of mass destruction.Invoking utterly disingenuous platitudes about democracy, morality, national security, and “the rules-based international order,” they’ve squandered America on plans that could best be characterized by their spectacular stupidity. Although, the sheer boldness of the grand strategy is something to behold. If they’d succeeded, Afghanistan would’ve been the first piece of an arc stretching from Syria and Lebanon, through Iraq, and across Iran.
With all the nonsense about terrorism, it wasn’t much marketed to the public that Afghanistan borders the PRC. The Muslim part is actually Xinjiang. It’s comparable in size to Alaska and adjacent to Tibet, which is almost a million square miles. The two of them combined are an enormous piece of Chinese real estate to decolonize.
If everything had gone off without a hitch, the map of the Middle East would be fundamentally reshaped in Israel’s favor and the Russian Federation should be breaking up. At this point, all the fun ought to be poking further eastwards. Straight up China’s ass, to use a crude metaphor.
None of this happened because it was never possible. Each component of the strategy has failed but they keep pressing forward. That’s particularly disturbing, seeing as each triumph was supposed to facilitate other triumphs. Going forward with the next step in a plan after the preceding steps failed doesn’t make any sense.
This is like something a young boy would dream up while playing with little plastic soldiers.For instance, Iran should’ve been subjugated back in the 2000s. Due to the debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. military is too depleted to even attempt such an endeavor. This doesn’t really matter since it was never even possible. Iran has a determined military and more than twice the mountainous geography and population of Afghanistan. In the early 2000s, Russia and China couldn’t effectively oppose the agenda in the Middle East. The situation is much different now. Iran is so important to them they’d never let it happen.
This idiocy is now at work on a much larger scale with China. The media is currently beating war drums while a confrontation is prepared. A glaring problem is that as China refused to change its political system (i.e., abandon its sovereignty) after opening up economically, it was understood that it was going to be a very big nut to crack. In other words, this would require a series of steps rather than a head-on collision.
That’s why Russia, its most important energy supplier and military partner, was the first of the two major targets. China is also the biggest buyer of Iranian oil, which again, was supposed to have been taken out. It’s possible to starve China, but not with its key suppliers intact and integrated into a new financial, economic, and infrastructure system. Somehow, we’re going to hand them a crippling defeat on their home turf without strangling them and fomenting domestic insurgencies first.
One of the things that make them so dangerous is that they just keep lying and pressing on their nefarious objectives, even when the situation develops into the opposite of what they’d predicted over and over again. It’s amazing to observe people lauded as distinguished academics and strategists advocate for naked insanity.
Unfortunately, you’re not even to allowed to honestly discuss who the neocons are and what they want without getting shut down. The upper echelons of the U.S. military are stuffed with their lackeys, and their tribe owns all facets of influence in this country, from the financial system to the politicians. This creates a pair of distinct possibilities.
The first is that they steer us into a catastrophic conflict with Russia and/or China. Perhaps that pops off by accident and quickly escalates out of control. Second, the Russians and Chinese succeed in engineering a new global order that cuts out the U.S. while avoiding a direct confrontation. They’ve put up with enormous provocations so far to keep working towards a permanent, largely peaceful solution. This would have unpleasant consequences for us as well, but obviously that’s about the best for which we could hope.
Since 1991, history has taught us that if the neocons claim to have a brilliant plan, this plan is, in fact, idiotic. In order to justify taking action, a fabricated pretext is cited in conjunction with the usual platitudes. The outcome, disaster. When a pattern occurs consistently, it’s got predictive value.
There’s an inexorable logic at work: as long as they’re in control, they’ll keep pushing without ever having a realistic chance of victory. This implies that at some point in this process, things will go very wrong and much more so than anything which has transpired thus far.
The hubris is like something out of a Greek Tragedy. The post The Predictive Value of Stupidity appeared first on Identity Dixie.
The Mississippi county 120 miles due west of my native Wayne County is Lincoln County. I’m not sure why it just recently dawned on me, but Lincoln County, Mississippi is named for the tyrant, liar, and war criminal, and the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln. With quite a bit of irony, the county situated two counties east of Lincoln County, is more appropriately named in honor of a truly honorable Southern gentleman, Jefferson Davis.
Lincoln County was established by an act of the Mississippi legislature on April 7, 1870. I was dumbfounded as to how and why this legislative body voted to name these 586 square miles after the man who was responsible for the war of invasion, occupation, and subjugation which caused so much death, destruction, and economic misery to the South in general, and in Mississippi in particular, only five to nine years prior to this. Of course, the economic misery continued for decades.
Was the Mississippi legislature overcome by Stockholm Syndrome? Possibly, but perhaps the best answer lies in the numbers comprising the legislature. In the 1870 legislature, there were 110 Republicans, 35 of whom were black. Reconstruction was in full swing at the time, and pro-Union forces took their vengeance on the Confederates for daring to rebel against the Yankee Empire, for daring to establish their own new country.
Five years after atomic bombs killed an estimated 140,000 residents of Hiroshima, and an estimated 74,000 residents of Nagasaki, did the Japanese name any town or community in honor of Harry S. Truman? Following the illegal invasion, occupation and destruction of Iraq, from 2003-2011, were any communities or townships in Iraq named in honor of the war criminals Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld or Blair?
Yet, here we are in Mississippi in 2023 – stuck with Lincoln County, named after the man who despised the South, and who delighted in the destruction of its land, farms and homes, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of its inhabitants. With few exceptions (notably, Senator Chris McDaniel), modern-day Mississippi Republicans are as worthless as their 1870 counterparts. On June 28, 2020, they forever turned their backs on their brave Confederate ancestors and voted to replace the Mississippi flag which had been in place for over 100 years, in spite of the fact that the issue should have been settled once and for all in a voter referendum in 2001. In that referendum, 60% of those casting a vote, voted to keep the 1894 flag. So, the attitude of the legislature in June 2020, was “voters be damned, we’re going to pacify the SEC, the NCAA, the Clarion-Ledger, the Washington Post, and the New York Times!”
Eternal shame on the Mississippi legislature of 1870 and 2020. The Party of Lincoln may have prevailed, but I, for one, refuse to participate in the worship and deification of its namesake.

I am writing this shortly after a transgender maniac murdered six Christians – three of them children – at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee. Due to the recentness of this article, a great deal of information is still coming out and, as such, I can only verify what information is available as of this writing. And while small details may change, I am prepared to stand by the contents of this article.
First and foremost, I want to express my condolences to the families of the lives lost in Nashville on March 27, 2023. What you are going through is something that no family should suffer. What happened is an act of unimaginable evil, the actions of a sick and deranged mind, and I pray that those who have passed will know the loving embrace of Our Lord.
With that being said, and in no way to make light of this evil, the events of March 27, 2023, represent a turning point in the “transgender” debate, one that I feared would arrive. Christians were targeted by a deranged woman, under the delusion that she was a man, because, as Christians, we cannot abide by her sickness. We do not do so out of hatred for her, or those like her, but out of love. To admonish the sinner is an act of love. There is no love in false acceptance or telling someone that God approves of deadly and grave sin. There is no other way to describe what happened – Tennesseans were murdered out of a hatred of their faith. For the past several years, and as the demonic gain more and more political and social ground in the United States, there has been a steady escalation towards deadly violence. There was the Chick-fil-A/Family Research Council shooter, a hatred of the faith born from reading SPLC articles mind you, but thankfully he was unable to kill anyone. There were several churches vandalized in the wake of the George Floyd Riots, too. Then came Dobbs, finally ending Roe v Wade as the law of the land – resulting in the vandalism of several churches – most of them Catholic, as well as pro-life pregnancy centers. This violence, egged on by the media and the government, has been building for years, and it finally broke loose. As much as I hate to write this, I fear that this will not be a one-off incident, but rather the start of something much bigger; and Christians, especially Southern Christians, must prepare for this moment.
The transgender movement has been rapidly radicalizing for the past decade. What was once considered a fringe movement (even on the Left) has captured the commanding heights of both the federal government and the wider American culture. Almost overnight, the Overton Window went from “eh, leave them alone” to Drag Queen Story Hour, biological men playing female sports, puberty blockers given out like candy to miserable young people, and the mutilation of children’s bodies. Such a rapid advance was bound to create a backlash, and after several years of floundering, the Right finally grew a backbone and started pushing back. With the Right now politically fighting back, the entire transgender movement is recoiling in horror, reacting much in the same way as a demon reacts to holy water. And much like a demon, when the transgender movement is threatened, it turns even more vicious. There has been a noticeable increase in online threats made by transgenders. Most of these threats have been directed at rightwingers but this is not exclusive to the Right, as J.K. Rowling has received death threats, including against her family. There was one particularly disturbing incident where a transgender writer threatened to cut her throat.
As of right now, there is a so-called “Trans Day of Vengeance” – a day to “stop trans genocide” – planned on April 1, 2023. Details are sketchy as to what is going on, and while there is a chance that this will be a “Days of Rage” style event put on by a few radicals, I think it is more likely that the “Trans Day of Vengeance” is a psyop to bait some rightwinger into lashing out. In turn, the American Empire can further crush the Right even more. Regardless if this is a psyop or not, what is clear is that the transgender movement is being driven to violence. Additionally, Southern Christians, thanks to Dixie being the driving force behind the resistance to transgenderism, will be targeted.
This should go without saying, but do not Fedpost. I know it is grossly unfair that they can call for the deaths of their enemies and it’s ignored or even praised as being “feisty hyperbole” by the media. However, that is not our position, we are given no such leniency. One side – their side – has control of the media, the federal government, and even the military’s top brass. We have no major institutions on our side.
The Authentic Right should also not underestimate the media’s ability to memory hole this entire situation, they already are doing it with this one. I have seen far less about this than I normally would observe, especially for a shooting that can be blamed on pro-gun, Southern politicians. But even if it does turn to significant violence, the media can still memory hole it. Bryan Burrough’s Days of Rage is a wonderful book about the leftwing terrorist organizations active in the late 1960s and 1970s. It is one of the best books I have ever read about the era, and I recommend it to anyone interested in the subject. One thing that struck me was just how little I knew about the events he examined. Mind you, I come from a very rightwing, pro-Southern family, a place where “hippie” is/was a dirty word and where Martin Luther King’s arrest record was a normal discussion during supper. My family did not consider the New Left to be idealists, but even I was in the dark over just how violent they were. Burrough discussed this phenomenon, noting that when he brought up this subject to most people, all they knew about was “some hippies protesting the Vietnam War.” Remember, many of these people were alive when this happened, but the media was still able to memory hole it.
In the book, Burrough convincingly argues that, despite what both the New Left’s terrorists and their later apologists have argued, they really did intend to rack up a large body count. The only reason they did not commit the spectacular levels violence that many of their contemporaries did, such as the Red Army Faction (West Germany) or the Red Brigades (Italy), is due to incompetence. And while the relative lack of a body count helped the media memory hole the New Left’s violence, this is far from the only reason. Aldous Huxley was right; the government really controls via information overload. Even more disturbingly, there is no assurance that even if the transgender movement does more than Weathermen-style violence, they will still have far greater institutional support than even the New Left did.
What happened in Tennessee opens up a disturbing new chapter in this struggle, one that the Right must be prepared for. The transgenders are angry, and they are taking out that anger on Christians. Most of the time, this will just mean ratting out thoughtcriminals to cowardly employers, but sometimes this anger will escalate to violence, and I fear this will become more common.
Keep your wits about you, never stop advocating for Christianity and civilization, and, very critically, prepare to defend yourselves. Most of all, pray.

One of the great classics of cinema history is Joe Dirt. It is a movie filled with wit, wisdom, humor, and a phenomenal soundtrack. In one scene, our protagonist has pulled up to a production studio and when asked his name, he replies with Joe Dirt, but pronounces his last name as “deer-tay,” as though it’s French. The gate guard tells him, “Don’t try to church it up, son. Don’t you mean Joe Dirt?” The lovable loser tried to church up his last name. He tried to make something sound fancy which actually was, in fact, just dirt. Some people might think it was rude of the security guard to take Joe down a peg like that, but he was asking Joe to simply be honest about a basic fact that cannot be altered because Joe desired it to be so. “Don’t try to church it up, son” is a wonderfully simple phrase, and in its simplicity is power. It is one we need to use, and use more often when facing the antagonists of all we hold dear.
Those who seek to destroy us are masters of using complicated, often circular, logic to justify things that are harmful or flat out evil. They scour up obscure historical references to fallen, godless civilizations that collapsed so long ago that the records we have are stories passed down by the civilizations who came after them. Pointing out that these ancient civilizations practiced slavery gets us lectured about it being a different time, or our self-appointed betters patiently inform us that just because they did one wrong thing does not negate all their good. Funny how selectively that kind of nuance and intellectual effort is applied, isn’t it?
Beyond the irrelevant historical references, they love to invent studies using fallacious data to support their logic defying agendas. We are supposed to be impressed that a recent study has shown something, and never ask questions about the sample size, sample composition (who these people in the sample were), and what the questions were. That is, assuming they bothered with the facade of actually conducting a study. We have, as previously mentioned, seen the results of studies trotted out only to find out the study was never done.
They used to call people like us “simple,” and have since replaced that with the word “uneducated.” They have found a more demeaning, condescending term for people who see through the house of cards they construct for what it is. We know it’s pronounced “dirt” and refuse to play along. They resent our stubborn adherence to reality. They despise the fact that we refuse to be wowed by their nonsense or impressed with their babble.
We see this when it comes to the 957 imaginary genders mentally ill women thrust upon themselves (and their kids, but more on that in a moment) and homosexual men with additional mental illnesses use to try to sound fancy. Gender is not a fluid; it is a binary state. It is one or the other. A person’s skeleton is either capable of giving birth or it is not. Their bone density, muscle density, and DNA all clearly declare one gender or the other. They can no more be both than they can be neither, much less some third thing simultaneously. We all know it, they know it, and it is well past time we start telling them to stop trying to church it up. They’re just mentally ill and desperate for attention. It’s really that simple.
This is no more evident than when it comes to the protection of children. Tens of thousands of words have been written in “academic” papers about how children, who are too young to even drive, somehow know they were born in the wrong body. And, how toddlers, who can’t read or write, are somehow able to consent to seedy activities with adults.
We are told that things, like Drag Queen Story Hour, are “beautiful” and “liberating,” and we are given all kinds of multisyllabic jabber about how children need to be exposed to sexually degenerate, toxic filth when they are at their most impressionable. We are told that “minor attracted persons” shouldn’t be ashamed, that they shouldn’t have to hide their attraction to children or even seek help. We are the luddites. We are the regressive weirdos for wanting children to just be children. We are the dangerous ones because a minister molested a child at some point in history, as if we held the child down for him and he got away with it.
Despite all their smug, condescending, completely fictitious codswallop, a few simple facts remain unalterable. They want children to be around sexual deviants. They want to expose your children to pornography. They want to talk to your children about sex in graphic terms and about acts that are so vile that they damage the body, mind, and soul. They want to and actually have demonstrated these acts in the classroom, in front of these children. They want to take their innocence away so that some pervert can hit on them without consequences. It really is that simple. They want men in lingerie to have access to your children.
If confronted with such evil, we must tell them not to church up their pedophilia. If they deny it, the only other answer is that they hate children because they’re trying to sexualize them and expose them to things they’re too young for. They know it. Everyone knows it. Nobody, except perverts (or the demonically influenced), has any interest in forcing children to be sexually exposed. There is no benefit to it for the child or society, so the reasons must be malicious and selfish. It really is that simple. Anything else is hogwash and unacceptable.
Don’t let them church it up. Any of it. Don’t even let them finish the sentence. Don’t ask them why they think it’s okay, it doesn’t matter. We know it’s not, and they know it’s not. If they didn’t think it was wrong, they wouldn’t try to church it up and use fancy language to try to obfuscate their intentions. If these guys actually thought there was nothing wrong with trying to force everyone around them to pretend they’re a girl, they wouldn’t freak out when they look in a mirror or hear their actual name, as opposed to their transvestite code name. If these mentally ill mothers and demonically possessed homosexuals didn’t think what they were doing to children was wrong, they wouldn’t demand validation from strangers in an attempt to drown the voice of their moral compass.
There is a certain confidence someone has when they know in their heart what they’re doing is right. It’s why you see people in traditional families much happier than their counterparts in faux “families.” They don’t need 47 pages of single-spaced gibberish to explain that what they’re doing is morally right, because it simply is and, again, everyone knows it. They don’t need some smirking comedian pretending to be a journalist to make fun of their detractors, because there is nothing to denigrate. There is no aspersion that can truly deconstruct what is morally good and right because it is morally good and right. All but the most broken people find true happiness there. By no means is it without flaws and difficulties, but it doesn’t require churching up. Just Church.

An old woman asked the purposed form of American government: “Well, Doctor, what do we have, a republic, or a monarchy?” Reportedly, Benjamin Franklin replied, “a republic, if you can keep it.” From the very beginning the American Republic, it was doomed, barely lasting over 60 years, and suffering a bloody death by 1865.
Sectionalism was the cracking force from the inception, each section trying to secure dominance over the other, for economic reasons but also because of cultural philosophies. The South was largely agrarian, paternalistic, and with a diverse society not bent on forcing her ideology on her neighbors. We had Cavaliers near the coast, and Scottish Highlanders and the Irish inland. The Yankee, the offspring of Pietist Puritanism, has always demanded everyone conform to their own society, and nothing has changed in 400 years. Throughout the history of the Republic, the offspring of Plymouth Rock has had no stomach for the South, nor her having too much power in Congress. I assume their envious and mercantile mind cannot understand freedom and sovereignty. Therefore, to ensure the New England states would prevail, they went as far as denying Negro slaves their right to be considered whole beings in regard to congressional accounting, conniving and forcing the South into compromise, having their servants counted as only three fifths of a person. Not to mention their own Jim Crow laws, which were first imposed in Yankeedom. If you don’t believe me, the Abbeville Institute and Brion McClanahan have excellent resources on the matter. In short: we are not the same!
So, I was recently asked, from someone I truly believe to be a very sincere person, “Instead of Southern Nationalism, why not try and save the Republic?”
Honestly, I was a little shocked, as nice as they appeared to be, they truly have not contemplated all that entails for the Southern people. I won’t be too hard on this pleasant person, perhaps they missed the day when the history of Reconstruction in the South was taught, if it was taught at all. Possibly, they did not realize the starvation, impoverishment, theft, and the general degradation that the people of Dixie endured, both black and White, because of trying to “save the Republic.” It’s totally believable that they did not know of the Union troops let loose to rape, not just Southern women, but even Negro slaves. And though some of the Union officers were court martialed, many were reinstated, continuing their bloodlust on my noble people. Not to mention Sherman’s “March to the Sea,” and the total war the sociopath unleashed on the Southland, and then later devastated the Indian Tribes in the West.
Yet, my people, even after we partially recovered from the forces that destroyed us, and in order to “save the Republic,” have displayed the utmost hospitality to our conquerors. However, the Yankee has opened up new fronts in their never-ending war on my people. They’ve sent their agents to infiltrate our cities, our schools, our churches, and our communities – wreaking havoc on our civilization, but even that did not stir us to action.
Then they started digging up our ancestors’ graves… That was the last straw for true Southerners.
“No polity can be devised which shall perpetuate freedom among a people that are dead to honor and integrity. Liberty and virtue are twin sisters, and the best fabric in the world…”
James Henley Thornwell
“Americans” are now buyers and sellers in an international economic zone, many of whom have no grasp of history, other than what they have been introduced via an ahistorical media. They are not honorable, nor worthy of preserving.
So, dear nice person, I will not try to save your republic, but use every ounce of my energy to see it ended; and do so in the spirit of that ancient writing that birthed your now decaying “American Republic,” that secessionist document penned by the premier statesman of the South, Thomas Jefferson:
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

I once attended a leadership conference that changed the way I view things. It altered the way I approach things and it most definitely changed the way I tackle projects, both personally and professionally. I can already hear the groans in the back, probably the same sighs I made when I was told that I had to listen to yet another seminar about “leadership.” By the time of the conference, I had been leading and managing people for most of my adult life. So, I had been around the block a few times or, as some individuals had so eloquently pointed out, I had been around the block when it was still a dirt road.
We all filed into the auditorium, and I strategically found a seat in the center – if I fell asleep listening to the speech, the casual observer might assume I was paying attention. Then, I crossed my arms and waited for the “hype guy” or the music to start. It never did, though. The room went dark, and a single spotlight came on. It was centered on the podium, and no one was there. I then heard heavy footsteps traverse the stage. A completely average looking man walked into the light and placed both hands on either side of the podium; he then looked left and right, as if summing up the group. I knew he could not see every single one of us with that spotlight in his eye, but it felt like he could intently see each of us.
The man had a deep voice and he spoke in a moderate tone. “Each and every one of you are here because you are stubborn and delusional.” After that, he paused and surveyed the crowd once again – almost waiting for a rebuttal, a heckler, anyone to say their piece. He leaned forward and practically roared into the microphone: “EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU ARE STUBBORN AND DELUSIONAL!” He then quietly said, “Let that sink in for a minute.” Admittedly, I felt like a teenager in a church pew, but the man certainly had my attention.
He went on to expound on the fact that, as leaders, we are required to stay the course, see our projects through to completion, and, most importantly, only delusional and stubborn people will succeed at such a task. We are delusional because we believe in something that most people cannot see or even comprehend. We envision it so clearly in our minds that our hearts are utterly convinced that this is the right course of action, and only this absolute resolve will settle the current problem or improve our current situation. Many times, we list logical data and build out Excel spreadsheets with the rationale to back up our current path and thought process; however, there is always one argument that can defeat this strategy. To the masses, “that’s the way we’ve always done it” rules the day. We receive push back and defiance, sometimes we even have orchestrated proof that it simply won’t work. So, we adjust our path and account for the unforeseeable hurdles. Then, we push on. Every brilliant idea has its bumps in the road and require recalculations, but we believe wholeheartedly that we are right, and this is the way forward. One of the definitions of delusional is a false belief regarding the self or objects outside the self that persist, despite the facts. Now, we have our set of facts to support our point, but the other side is equally convinced that their facts brace their argument. We are delusional and usually repeatedly told that we are. Yet, we persist anyway.
Stubbornness is there to enable our delusional state. We are too stubborn to not start doing the things that need to be done. Even when the entire world stands there with its arms crossed and refuses to build the dream we see before us. We walk over, pick up the first stone, and carry it where it needs to go. We keep doing it again and again. And as the dream starts to form, the group finally understands it is possible to reach your vision. They slowly join and, then gradually, buy into the dream that only you knew was possible.
The whole point is leaders, visionaries, and the doers of the world are commonly misunderstood in the beginning and their strengths are initially labeled as weaknesses in order to disprove them. Many of our Southern dreams, visions that we ardently believe in and advocate for, are considered by some as weak and illogical. Rather, remain stubborn and delusional!
Leaders have been leading this way for centuries; it is the way things happen. It is the way we, as a people, persevere.

One ongoing debate within Southern Nationalism is which states should be included in a Free Dixie. There are some states that are almost always included – namely the states of the Old Confederacy, but there are questions and concerns regarding other states. Maryland was considered a very Southern state even though it did not secede. Until around 1970, when the growth of the DC suburbs finally fully dominated the state, Maryland was very much included in the Upper South. Now, should Southern Nationalists seek to incorporate Maryland in a future Free Dixie, or do we cut our losses? Missouri is another questionable state, considered Southern in 1860 but it has since taken on a more Midwestern identity, especially outside of the southeastern portion of the state. Kentucky is normally included in a proposed Free Dixie, but I do know folks who would exclude it. Oklahoma is generally included as well, considering it was largely settled by Southerners, and the Indian tribes of the state typically sided with the Confederacy. But, Oklahoma also has its detractors and has been excluded in some Free Dixie maps. Finally, some would include Arizona and New Mexico, both claimed as historic Confederate territory and chiefly settled by Southerners, but this is a minority position, though one I am sympathetic towards.
Perhaps the most fascinating state within this debate is the status of West Virginia due to the unique history of the state. Originally, and many would argue, by right, a part of Virginia, West Virginia’s status as included in Dixie is contentious because Virginia did secede, but the counties of West Virginia rejected this and formed their own separate, unionist government. I will not rehash the history of the 1860s in this article, but I will say that the Confederacy was far more popular in what became West Virginia than the history of its creation as a separate state would suggest, especially in the southern part of the state. The Wheeling Convention was rigged from the start, loyalty to the Union was a requirement to attend, and the eventual creation of West Virginia is more of a product of Yankee interference and meddling than the popular will of the people. Still, as the debate stands in 2023, I have mapped out several positions regarding the status of West Virginia within the Southern Nationalist movement. My intention here is not to argue for one position over another, but rather to state each one.
West Virginia is a geographically beautiful state, and although I am a son of the Deep South, I do greatly admire Appalachian culture. I also like most of the West Virginians I’ve met. Ideally, modern West Virginia would still be part of Virginia, and we would all be free. But that was not to be, and as such a debate exists to the status of West Virginia in a Free Dixie among Southern Nationalists, the future of what West Virginia in a Free Dixie looks like will, God willing, become a vigorous debate within Free Dixie.

Suburban homogenization spreads like kudzu from the urban taproots of places like Nashville, Atlanta, and Greenville. Attracted by cheap land and low taxes, refugees from the West Coast and the Mid Atlantic flood into rural towns. Big Business exerts influence and demands on political and social life entirely at odds with local custom and sentiments. The worst aspects of a perverted America increasingly appear in the least likely of places championed by twenty somethings whose ancestors fought bravely, barefooted, and hungry to defend their homes and freedom from invaders.
It would seem that Southern distinctiveness will soon be a thing of the past. Yet, in their 2017 study, The Resilience of Southern Identity: Why the South Still Matters in the Minds of its People, political scientists Christopher Cooper and Gibbs Knotts don’t think that it’s likely to happen anytime soon.
In their estimation, in spite of drastic political, racial, and cultural changes, the importance of Southern identity still plays a surprisingly important role in sustaining regional identification.
Cooper and Knotts studied every Southern city with more than 50,000 people (218 in total) and following the same criteria used in a similar study done 40 years earlier, surveyed businesses about the names of their companies and why they chose them. The authors then conducted focus groups with Southerners asking them to define what it means to have a Southern identity.
Like the study 40 years earlier, while the number of “Dixie” businesses had declined significantly, the number of “Southern” businesses remained strong. The authors concluded that people were distancing from the “Old South” but still believed it important to retain a Southern identity.
Across businesses and demographics (race, age, and socioeconomic) they found a “strong belief” that folkways, food, hospitality, family, and manners were still defining hallmarks of the South. The research showed that participants believed that in the past White Southerners were the only ones that could be considered truly Southern but felt as long as the South kept the “best of the past and embraced the future,” the South was open to anyone.
For Identity Dixie readers, the Cooper and Knotts study would mostly be interpreted in a negative way. The Old South is not coming back and the trajectory seems to be that the New South will be a diverse, tolerant, cynically commercialized, diluted, and plastic version. But the study does seem to prove that the South has an indelible character, something that we can build on.
The fate of Dixie is in the hands of a small vanguard. A Dixie worthy of the name and identity won’t happen through a single grand gesture. It will happen through countless small acts of defiance, attractive and joyful celebration, and being prepared to share the truth whenever you have the chance.

“The contest is not over, the strife is not ended. It has only entered on a new and enlarged arena.”
Jefferson Davis
You may have noticed a bit of a slowdown in the content production at Identity Dixie, but let me assure you that we have not lost any fight. There are projects that have been on the back burner, that are keeping many of us very busy. Now, they are all coming together, and with them, you will be equipped with a new tool to reach our people, the Southern people. The editorial staff will be updating our dear readers of that tool in the near future.
“The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form.”
Jefferson Davis
It is very evident within the American Empire that the principles for which our ancestors desired in peaceful separation are now reasserting themselves. The right of self-determination and freedom of association have been completely obliterated. Our ancestors were outraged to war over taxes during the Colonial period, and it was the fuel for Lincoln’s war. From the very infancy of the Republic, it was the South that bore the greatest burden disproportionately, filling the coffers of the U.S. Treasury. Presently, we are forced by our tyrannical government to carry on our collective back waves and waves of Third World immigrants, destroying not only our cities and towns, but disrupting the ecology and demography of the South. Once again, our Yankee masters are raging war by other means against the kingdom of Christ in Dixie, and we must answer them as did our ancestors. But it will take men and women that will not yield.
“Nothing fills me with deeper sadness than to see a Southern man apologizing for the defense we made of our inheritance. Our cause was so just, so sacred, that had I known all that has come to pass, had I known what was to be inflicted upon me, all that my country was to suffer, all that our posterity was to endure, I would do it all over again.”
Jefferson Davis
As our opponents screech and attempt to defame our ancestors and ourselves over the moral institution of slavery, a widespread practice within the American Colonies, they themselves have become slaves to their own passions, servants to masters that have no hesitation in destroying those that bow before them. Sadly, some of our own people have been bewitched by this godless spell, and our president speaks to them from beyond the grave and to their shame.
“Governments rest on the consent of the governed, and that it is the right of the people to alter or abolish them at will whenever they become destructive of the ends for which they were established.”
Jefferson Davis
We are ruled over by a despotic government in Washington D.C., and even in our State capitals, but this is changing rapidly before our eyes, and nothing will stop it. In the past, foreign wars have sparked a patriotic fervor among our people, we rallied to the fight, but no more. Texas is clearly on the path to sovereignty, and many of the States are nullifying federal intrusions. It is time to abolish those ties that divide us. There is momentum for a national divorce.
“A question settled by violence, or in disregard of law, must remain unsettled forever.”
Jefferson Davis
Our cause was always just, our defense was always lawful, and all we ever wanted was to peacefully leave an arrangement that no longer was to our benefit. We are in the process of settling this question forever! Come join us.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

There are different types of stupid. What I mean is it’s something better categorized than quantified. I’d say the worst is worshiping a certain group of people who hate you and actively seek to erase your existence. I rank this as rock bottom because their religious beliefs and secular values constitute an utter repudiation of your life, natural law, moral decency, and everything you hold sacred.
Moreover, these people to whom you ascribe a divine status are so arrogant they don’t even bother to make a secret of the contempt in which you’re held. What more pathetic relationship could exist between two groups?

At least with masters and slaves, the slaves receive food and shelter while they labor under the threat of physical punishment and execution. In this relationship, all the lesser party receives is hatred and unrelenting aggression. In order to serve their betters, they must implicitly disavow what they acknowledge to be the fundamental tenet of their religion. It’s the most pathetic exchange possible.

Arrogance is a distinct nether region of stupid, especially since Israel now finds itself outmaneuvered into the most tenuous position of its brief existence. The power of the golem upon which it depends for funding and defense is being humbled across the globe because it was squandered on Zionist projects that were never feasible. However, let’s get back to the subject of religion.
Only one religion is defined by hatred of Christ. Islam has a misguided interpretation, but not a hatred. In fact, our supposedly greatest Muslim enemy, Iran, guarantees the religious rights of its Christian citizens (ethnic Armenians and Assyrians) allotting them limited seats in the legislature. The Iranian theocracy doesn’t interfere in their religious life or try to turn their children into homosexuals and trannies. One could easily argue it’s a better deal than Americans receive from their government.
The Chinese don’t hate Christianity either. Many are Buddhists. They don’t hold Christ in contempt. The traditional religion of most is essentially polytheistic and somewhat transactional. For instance, if they don’t seem to be getting what they want from their local temple deity, they’ll go to a church and “ask Jesus.” The CCP concerns itself with the political organization and objectives of a group, not the actual religion.
It’s just this one group of people and their ethnostate, which is somehow “Our Greatest Ally” to the extent that politicians conflate our well-being with theirs and nobody of note bothers to point out how utterly illogical this it is to draw an equivalence.

Even nations who find themselves forced into partnership by hostile circumstances, such as China and Russia, use more measured language to describe one another.

He’s not very articulate and his IQ probably fits well-within the double digits. But, because his underlying premise is taking his own side, his mental flow chart leads right to “fck off” even when they attempt to shame him about the science and letting the virus continue to spread.
Please take your own side. You’ll thank yourself later.

The global financial system is complex but some things are easy to grasp. First, it’s deliberately opaque. Ownership of many central banks isn’t a matter of public knowledge. Most people don’t even understand that these institutions aren’t organs of national governments as their names imply.
When Americans hear “federal reserve” they think federal government and when they see the chairman on the news at a congressional hearing, they assume this is the same thing as when government officials and military officers are browbeaten by the legislators holding the purse strings. It’s not.

Totally in charge, just like they programmed the Apollo moon mission.However, one can easily comprehend that if a private, secretive, and unaccountable cartel is in control of the money supply, it can rip everybody else off and acquire anything. That’s why mainstream media and academia, along with nearly all elected officials, never bring this up. Just like every other asset of influence, they’re under the ownership of those who control the money. When it’s all for sale, controlling the money gives you everything. Everything works to keep you in control of the money. It’s obvious why something so obvious isn’t a topic for respectable discourse.

He was one of the only ones, and written off as a backwoods crackpot. That’s not such a good deal for the rest of us, so if the general public is made aware, they get pissed and action is taken. This has happened in both the United States and Europe. If your curiosity is piqued, perhaps a cursory introduction could start with reading into the presidency of Andrew Jackson and the career of a former German Army corporal.
Second, the system is marketed as providing stability so that we don’t suffer from a catastrophic crisis. We keep going from one to the next, demonstrating repeatedly that this was a canard to sell the imposition of a swindle that the public would never accept if the truth was made plain. Unlike asteroid impacts, financial catastrophes are subjective events. In 2008, things went fine for most big banks while it was the end for many smaller businesses.
Third, the system is based on debt and thus requires perpetual expansion to avoid implosion. Concordantly, we live on a finite planet with an energy supply that is growing more expensive and a population of intelligent, net-contributor humans that is shrinking.
The largest demographic segment of both Europeans and East Asians is currently exiting the workforce and becoming a burden on balance sheets. The generations behind them are progressively smaller. The introduction of the vax is when the contractions became truly frightening. In other words, the system is fundamentally unsustainable regardless of everything else discussed in the previous paragraphs.
Fourth, China and Russia are now at existential odds with it because they’ve realized no accommodation can be reached. They’re luring pivotal nations such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, and India into their orbit. They have the world’s largest economy, resource base, and military industrial complex with which to assert themselves. Moreover, they’re able to do whatever they determine to be in their interests rather than being constrained by Zionist projects.
They’re outspoken that this system seeks their destruction due to their sovereignty in addition to the usual grievances about getting ripped off. Both Putin and senior Chinese officials have made it clear that because the system is unsustainable, plunder is a tool of its survival. They’ve vowed to never be plundered again (the aforementioned corporal expressed similar sentiments).
In considering this matter, it helps to keep in mind the Triffin Dilemma experienced by the U.S. Since the dollar is the global reserve currency, large trade deficits must be run in order to supply the rest of the world with sufficient dollars to facilitate trade.
What they seem to be angling for is not to replace the dollar, but rather to divorce themselves from the West and bring as many other non-Western countries as possible into their new order. Look up the Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) for details on how that would work.
In summary, we don’t have an honest accounting of all the variables and objectives of the global financial system. That’s on purpose. However, we can see that it wasn’t established for the benefit of more than 99% of humanity and it isn’t sustainable. Moreover, it’s entering into a period of confrontation with an emerging rival just as the latest crisis seems to be getting underway. Therefore, it’s reasonable to expect serious trouble ahead. The details remain to be seen.

Richard Spencer is back, and he has a bone to pick with the Right because we are supposedly spending too much time worrying about exposing children to drag queens. A few days ago, the former self-proclaimed leader of the defunct Alt-Right wrote on his Substack about a Drag Queen Story Hour protest in Wadsworth, Ohio that got, well, heated. In fairness, some Feds did show up. Hollywood Nazis were out in full force, complete with a certain symbol associated with an extinct interwar German nationalist movement, as well as face/neck tattoos while chanting “pedophiles get the rope.” While it goes without saying that I do not approve of such tactics and optics, the protests against Drag Queen Story Hour go well beyond Feds, informants, and the occasional sincere, if mentally ill, walking indictment. It includes not only the serious elements of the Dissident Right, but also normie conservatives, particularly parents and grandparents worried about their children and grandchildren.
But Spencer does not bother to do that, of course. Instead, he calls such protests “repugnant” and dismisses the whole concept of protesting Drag Queen Story Hour, viewing it as fundamentally an unimportant issue. This is why, thankfully, no one in the earnest factions of the Dissident Right takes anything Spencer does or says seriously. Any healthy society will do what it can to protect its children, because these societies understand that if they lose their children, they have no future. There is a reason why the Christian America of the 1950s considered abortion (infanticide) to be a serious crime. Additionally, this is why corrupting the morality of children was considered a great evil in Victorian Britain. Conversely, this is also why the unserious, decadent, and spiritually sick America of 2023 considers abortion as a “positive good.” And, if you do not end up murdering your own child in the womb, then Drag Queen Story Hour is great family entertainment. That Spencer cannot understand this reveals a critical flaw in his brand of race-reductionist nationalism.
I am not denying the importance of race. I am not a civic nationalist. However, race is also not the “be all and end all” of identity and a nation. Other factors, namely culture, are fundamental, too. But Spencer goes beyond merely having a traditional attitude towards race, rather he reduces everything to race. This is why he cannot comprehend the vast differences between White people (for example, believing the Germans, Poles, and Russians are all “one nation,” more or less). The horrors the Poles have suffered under the Germans and Russians indicate that we cannot take this claim seriously. Culture matters, and healthy cultures do not allow transvestites to read to children in the hopes of sexually molesting them. Because Spencer only advocates for race, he cannot see the threat that Drag Queen Story Hour poses to our children. The drag queens are mostly White, right? That means their interests align with redpilled White Southerners! Let’s all be White together! Spencer’s attitude toward groomers reading to children is simply the natural end point to his approval of homosexuality during his Alt-Right heyday – the infamous Tweet about the “last stand of implicit White identity.”
Spencer goes on to semi-apologize for his actions during his Alt-Right reign, namely for his interactions with “bad actors, angry young men, and the mentally ill.” And while he takes responsibility for his past actions, his writing shows that he does not realize what he did to a generation of young White men. As much as I dislike Spencer, I will give him this much – he’s articulate, well put together, charismatic, had a quality education, and comes from a wealthy family. Spencer, due to some of his personal qualities as well as his professional and familial connections, has more or less survived the fallout from the Alt-Right’s collapse, mostly by rebranding himself as “reformed” now. But others, those young men who were not as articulate, well put together, charismatic, and did not have the advantages of education and family, have not been so lucky. They have had their lives ruined. What happened to the Alt-Right will impact them for the rest of their lives. They will miss out on jobs and promotions because cowardly companies will not hire a “racist,” possibly sentencing them to a life of poverty. They have lost family and friends as a result of this fallout. Some have gone to prison. At least one has taken his own life. Rightwing nationalists will be under constant surveillance for at least a generation. The entire ordeal is a tragic tale, and the fact that Spencer does not comprehend that speaks volumes about his character. Instead, Spencer would rather blanketly condemn people protesting something that would have been laughed off as an evangelical scare tactic a decade ago.
Spencer ends his screed reminiscing about how the Trump 2016 campaign offered to end the Culture War in favor of a nationalist/populist revolt against the elite and building something new. I remember that, by then I had moved on from the Left/Right coalition to end the corporate welfare/warfare state, I recall working on a similar project during the Ron Paul era. I vigorously supported decentralization, I saw it as a way to keep the peace between Southerners and Vermonters while we worked to dismantle a corporate system that sent us off to war. Whatever one may say of that strategy in a vacuum, it fell apart when the Left declared war on us. Ending home rule was not enough, every vestige of Southern identity had to be destroyed. Homosexual marriage was not enough, Christians must be sued for not participating in it. The legalization of infanticide was not enough, it must be celebrated as the best thing since sliced bread. And drag queens being allowed to perform for adults was not enough, children had to be corrupted, too. I could go on and on. The Left escalated almost every single culturally issue, and this made the Trump 2016 promise of ending the Culture War impossible.
If Spencer cared more about culture, he would understand this.

Here’s some advice for conservatives the next time they’ve caught on to the following instances that a Democrat/libtard/whomever:
First, purchase a plot at a cemetery where you’d feel comfortable spending an extended stay. To make a guesstimate, I’d go with now until the Final Judgement. Next, have a tombstone engraved with the gotcha! you’ve identified along with your full name and whenever you were born. Put a little dash at the end (relax, somebody else will fill in the rest later). I recommend granite as this holds up much better than marble. To make sure a job is done right, do it yourself. Don’t leave these details to chance.
Don’t let this be you. The next part is even more personal, but there are a great many courses of action. You’re really only limited by your imagination: how would you like to dispatch yourself? Bear in mind that this will be an exclusively-DIY project. It won’t be like moving on the cheap, so don’t plan on enlisting any friends or family members with a pickup truck. In fact, don’t tell them anything because they’ll try to get you tossed in the loony bin. If you’ve got anything you’d like to leave them after covering the expenses entailed in the second paragraph, be sure to have a lawyer make the proper arrangements. Great, now you’re ready to get to started!

Yeah, and he’s the president so obviously this doesn’t matter. What I’ve outlined is a tirade that I launched into while another ID writer was driving after being triggered by something I noticed along the road. As a disclaimer, this isn’t something I’m actually suggesting anyone should attempt. It’s just some black humor.
It may sound a bit cruel, but I guarantee my grim joke would net more tangible results than springing a gotcha! on the Left. They don’t reach their conclusions through rationally or morally sound processes. This means you can’t jar them or score some kind of points by highlighting obvious contradictions between one stance and another or what they’re saying today versus what they said yesterday. It doesn’t matter. It never has, and it never will.
I feel a vague twinge of empathy for conservatives because they haven’t been able to get past this aspect of political discourse. That keeps them perpetually perturbed and seeking a form of satisfaction which will never, ever materialize. This must be very draining emotionally. It doesn’t help that this is a cynical mainstay of Fox Newsand all that other crap. Type in “democrat” and “hypocrisy” and you’d never live long enough to parse through everything.
They’re either going to move past this and start getting pissed off at something else or remain stuck in the loop waiting for the zinger that finally hits home. All the while, they’ll congratulate each for “owning the libs” as the country slides down the toilet pipe to perdition. It’s one of many hopes I refuse to entertain as I suspect this condition is terminal.
To use another analogy, assuming you can confront leftists and their string-pullers with contradictions is about as realistic as thinking you can stand outside one of these foam parties in Miami that Senator Marco Rubio used to attend with a placard listing quick facts about how unhealthy it is to stick things up the anus. Do you think any of the party goers will thank you for your candor, turn around, and return home for an evening of scrabble?

The hypocritical, disingenuous sanctimony is their most infuriating trait.The debacle in Ukraine serves as a horrific demonstration of the new multi-polar reality. No amount of conventional force or support by the U.S. and its vassals is going to change the outcome. This only pads the butcher’s tally. It’s impossible to hide that now. No presidential aspirant is willing to tie themselves to a time bomb despite the nonsense Americans are still being fed. Another Kabul/Saigon scene would be a nightmare on the campaign trail.
Those were heady days in the early 2000s. Saddam Hussein got pulled out of a hole, and the disaster in Iraq wasn’t clear yet. If I recall correctly, we’d just finished PT when it was announced over a loudspeaker. Everyone cheered. There was plenty of talk about how Iran was next. It was certainly in the cards. Nobody seemed cognizant that a mountainous nation comparable in size to Western Europe would be different than subduing a Baghdad-to-Basra corridor largely through covert bribery.
This really worked out well. The grand strategy turned into a catastrophe. Iran (which used to rule the place) was able to reassert influence over the Shia in Iraq and establish an arc reaching all the way to Israel. Over a million perished and the Iraqis later signed huge oil and infrastructure deals with the Chinese. One would surmise that had to be somewhat out of spite. In some cases, they even underbid U.S. companies. Control over our foreign policy doesn’t equate to basic competence.
Like our other “enemies” who pose no threat to White Americans, the Iranians are far more capable than they’re given credit in establishment discourse. After the project failed in Iraq and moved to Syria, they allied with the Russians in a decisive effort to thwart it. Iran brought in tens of thousands of mercenaries and volunteers from the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, along with providing other vital support.
For religious and historical reasons, Iran regards itself as the protector of Shia Muslims. As a matter of theology, it considers all Muslim monarchies to be illegitimate. For Saudi Arabia, this made it an existential threat, as the primary reason the country exists is the Sunni (Wahhabist) House of Saud.
To make sense out of Saudi Arabia, consider what the situation would be like in the UK if it was called “Windsor Britannia” and the Royal Family had thousands of members who consider the Isles, inhabited by various tribes, its private property. Moreover, there’s a lateral succession in which agnatic primogeniture doesn’t designate the next king. This creates de-stabilizing ambitions and insecurities in a family so paranoid it won’t employ citizens as guards or allow its armed forces free access to ammunition.
Imagine if this Protestant monarchy classifies Catholics, who comprise a large percentage of the population, as heretics and represses them accordingly. What sort of complications would arise if the world’s best oil field is underneath Catholic feet? What if France declared itself the liberator of Catholics and was currently sponsoring an insurgency in Ireland with drones striking British oil infrastructure? What if the rest of the kingdom is essentially bribed to accept the legitimacy of the Windsors, who are increasingly unable to afford the practice due to population growth?
Indeed, the Saudis are in a precarious position vis-à-vis Iran. In service to Israel, the U.S. wants Iran collapsed and regime-changed. The best it could offer the Saudis was utilization for this purpose, which had extremely dubious prospects for success and posed a lethal level of risk.
The Chinese are different. They’re a major purchaser of oil from Iran. It’s also a linchpin in their Belt and Road Initiative. They’re a crucial customer of the Saudis as well, meaning they have plenty to lose from a regional conflict. Since their foreign policy is guided by their own interests rather than Zionism, that puts China in a position to facilitate a deal to everyone’s benefit. It doesn’t look like it cost them much of anything.
To adapt Reagan's words from his speech of June 8, 1982, one trusts "the march of freedom and democracy" will leave these three regimes "on the ash-heap of history as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people." pic.twitter.com/Nhlor9RX0h

It’s all so tiresome. Both parties have more pressing issues than their mutual enmity. However, they lacked the initiative to put it on the back burner without a powerful 3rd party like China (Russia is on board, as well) to smooth things out and incentivize them to cooperate.
Yet again, the Zionists have been out-played because they don’t have anything constructive to offer and their plans keep ending in disaster. Their only recourse would be the invasion of Iran (the original plan included using rail lines through Azerbaijan, an incredible undertaking), which the U.S. no longer has the means to attempt. What else is left, a coup against Crown Prince (de facto king) Mohammed Bin Salman? That would be the most feasible option, but the Chinese and Russians would intervene to protect their client. He’s proving much more adept than he was portrayed by the U.S. media.
In retrospect, I was wildly overoptimistic about the prospects of exporting democracy by force, underestimating both the difficulties and the costs of such a massive undertaking. I am a neocon no more, at least as that term has been understood since 9/11. https://t.co/JhztGTgtrz

Zionists will never be able to accept defeat and reform their behavior, so that’s a factor in whether or not this will culminate in a bang or a whimper. What’s starting to happen is that some of them are altering their disguise as they’ve done in the past (Trotskyists to Neocons, for example) to keep things moving in the same direction. I resent being along for the ride, but it should be interesting to see how this transpires. They might destroy civilization, but they’ll never win. Get very worried about the former, not the latter.

A word of warning to Puerto Rico: before you get excited about statehood; remember that once you get into the swamp, you can’t get out. The swamp-creatures own you: lock, stock and soul.
Remember, there was no such thing as an American “civil war.” Regardless of the modern pseudo-historical illiterate’s checklist. There were two wars of secession. One began in 1775 and the good guys won. The other began in 1861 and the other guys won. Puerto Rico, you cannot come into a union of states any longer. It no longer exits. It has been relabeled a nation. It has even turned a beautiful poem of music called “The Star-Spangled Banner,” honoring the courage of American troops into some bastardized Wagner-style march of the godly state called “The National Anthem.”
You can only give up your land and people to the national (nation) swamp. States have become national counties. And its quicksand will suck you under.
And war upon war upon war will be the suction that kills your sons, and now thanks be to the dastardly and moronic wonder-woke idealogues, your daughters, too, shall bleed equally.
Union years, 1787-1861, two wars both legally declared by the union’s congress. National years, 1861-present, 9 or 10, not counting the 20th century’s multiple Banana Wars. Three of the entire number legally declared by the national congress. And those were promoted and primed by for congress by the “nation’s” presidents: Spanish-American (where you became a national territory), WWI (Wilson’s War) and WWII (FDR’s War).
Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World – by Patrick Buchanan is praiseworthy to many veterans of post-WWII service (including me).
War is a Racket by Smedley D. Butler, Major General, U.S.M.C. (twice awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor).
This same national swamp with its thugs and professional bureaucrats will demand to know how much money you make so they can take as much as they want either by direct confiscation or if you are a bit short, they will use the printing press to inflate your earnings to zero – the perfect oxymoron.
They will spend it (confiscated or printed) on the Military Industrial Complex and its endless undeclared wars and then pretentiously stand beside coffins with hands over hearts as they “honor” the dead whom they have allowed to be killed or maimed. They lick their bureaucratic chops at the thought of American blood soaking Ukrainian ground.
If you thought Vietnam was a bloody trick, you’ll love a Black Sea bloodbath. Hell, you can get 58,000 (Viet Nam KIA) with one bomb. Welcome to your new “nation.”
This same nation will demand your sons fight in its wars, not in your own defense. And now will even demand your daughters do the same since they have eliminated God’s creation of male and female and created a Uni-human being. No longer will they allow pithy little aphorisms such as “boys will be boys.” Now, they will only allow that “boys will be boys or girls – their choice.”
They will seduce you with seemingly clever little concepts that you are joining some grand magna cum political doctrinal called a Constitutional Democracy.Yes, or even more cleverly a Constitutional Republic. They get away with this foolish blather because it has provided a monster called public education: the Devil’s way to turn children into fools. The first, “Democracies” don’t have “constitutions” because they don’t use or need them. The mob determines everything. The second, “Republics” by definition have constitutions, therefore redundancies usually are subterfuge.
But it gets worse. You will come into a national morass of voters, many of whom couldn’t count to three if you spotted them the first two digits. This is, of course, under the nonsensical concept that there is an inherent “right to vote.” Once, under union, there was a concept that rights were all from God. No more. After all, for example, God said “Thou Shalt Not Kill.” He didn’t attach a little addendum, “Y’all kick this around, vote on it and let me know if you agree.”
And don’t be fooled by the same bums (thugs and bureaucrats) babbling about the glorious Constitution. That sucker went dead when the union went dead. Anyway, most of them have never read it or even know it in its inherent simplicity (about 6,000 words in basic English).
And, of course, you will be joining this great nation that is supposedly governed by some of the most corrupt and stupid people that ever crawled out of the primeval ooze. This national congress has morons who declare the world is coming to an end in a decade or so. And they have one guy who thinks that too many people standing on an island will cause it to tip over.
This nation even has elected a guy (the president?) who is called something goosey like “The Leader of the Free World.” Whatever do you suppose that lunacy means? To this claimant title he was elected? Is such a description in Article II of the Constitution?
The present one is a demented quack who couldn’t find the men’s room at the Y.M.C.A. And if he did, he wouldn’t know which side his zipper was on.
But you guys come on, Puerto Rico. Join this wagon load of manure now called a nation, once honorably known as a union. But as bad as the bureaucrats and thugs are; as bad and dumb as the congress is; as dopey and corrupt as the president is – you ain’t seen nothing until you see the little gal standing in the wings if the president resigns. If you thought Nancy Pelosi was a clown…
But come on. And like I said, bring your checkbook.

It had been a long time since my siblings and I were home in the Low Country. The last time we had gathered there was for the funeral of our mother. Both our father’s and mother’s mortal remains are at the National Cemetery in Beaufort. I still remember the day my mother was laid to rest, the Blue Angels were in town, and as we gathered around their resting place, those amazing pilots flew their blue and yellow F/A-18s directly overhead, a tribute she would have loved. And just like on that day, the weather this weekend was spectacular!
If you ever read any of my writings, this love affair I have with this part of South Carolina is no shock. Many of my articles and stories are connected with this mysterious paradise of beaches, rivers, swamps, old trees, and, of course, very ancient landmarks. Even though most y’all have never been there, you have seen it in many movies: The Big Chill, Forrest Gump, Conrack, etc. But, the most iconic of them all is The Great Santini starring Robert Duvall, a story of growing up with a Marine father.
Our journey back home was a tribute, a recollection of “growing up Marine” in a most wonderful and chaotic time, just a few years after this movie took place. Vietnam was ramping up, school integration was beginning, Parris Island was booming with willing and reluctant Marine recruits, and MCAS Beaufort, where my father was stationed, was expanding its squadrons of F4s to meet the needs of an ever-aggressive military industrial complex. And, my siblings and I were growing up in the middle of it all.
The weekend was spent enjoying the coastal beauty, fresh seafood, and visiting the places that mean the most to us. One of the first things we noticed at our rental was a very old and large oak tree, something we would have shimmied up as young boys. Just for fun, we staged a photo pretending an attempted climb and sent it to our wives, evoking a panic. For just a moment, we were boys again, with all the wonder and excitement of youth.
The next morning, we excitedly went exploring our old haunts, amazed how much had changed, but also thankful that so much had been preserved. We went by our old homes, the place we all learned to swim, our fishing spots. We talked about movies we saw at the old theaters, laughing at our wonder years through the 60s and 70s. Remembering friends, girlfriends, and all the marvelous chaos associated with having a Marine father, just like the Great Santini! Of course, no tribute would be complete without visiting the house where the movie was filmed, a house we had seen many times. We made our cousin watch the movie for the first time, making a game of picking out all the local sites appearing in film, all of which we had visited.
Often our conversations would turn to the current state of the United States, and looking at it through the lens of our own history in the Low Country. We remembered how integration in the local schools had turned them into war zones, how no one benefited, how almost no one thought it was a good thing, and how education for all those forced to endure it had suffered. We recollected the waves of young men that came in and out of Parris Island, and how we unknowingly watched the fate of many newly born Marines. Perhaps we knew, but repressed it, knowing our father and the fathers of our friends had been, or would soon be, in the jungles of Vietnam, a few not returning.
Through all these conversations, observations, remembrances, I had the opportunity to remind my brothers and cousin of how important it was to preserve and recapture the beautiful things that our childhood afforded us. We talked at length about Southern Nationalism and a “national divorce” during our visit to Old Sheldon Church. Although they were not convinced at the beginning; eventually, most were able to see the necessity. Perhaps it was watching the absurdity of a 95-pound female drill instructor barking out commands on the parade deck at Parris Island that left my brothers outraged at the state of the Corps, and the Great Santini rolling over in his grave.
Seizing the narrative from those opposed to our hopes, I laid out a path forward, opening the door for more conversations, and whetting their appetite for more information.
Once something you love is gone, you realize all the missed opportunities, and lament as did the son in The Great Santini, understanding too late the legacy he was gifted.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

Dr. Marcus Papadopoulos is a British historian, analyst, and author specializing in Russia and the former Soviet Union. He is also an expert on the former Yugoslavia and international relations, having exclusively interviewed the former Bosnian Serb president Radovan Karadzic. Dr. Papadopoulos is a prominent television personality, providing insight into his fields of expertise. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Law and Modern History at London Guildhall University; received a Masters degree in Modern History at Royal Holloway, University of London; and also at Royal Holloway was awarded a Ph.D. in Russian history. Dr. Papadopoulos’ first book “Arise, Rossiya: The Return of Russia to World Politics” was met with acclaim, as did both his 2016 speech at the House of Lords on the origins of the current tension between America and Russia and his scholarly article for the journal of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences, “One Eye on Hitler, the Other Eye on Stalin: How Britain Explored a British-Soviet Alliance from January to June of 1941.”
The unReconstructed and unrelenting Dr. Papadopoulos and I talk about the death of the West, the South as the first victim of the US federal government’s tyranny, the breakup of America and how it could “pressurize” decentralization in the rest of the Anglo-Saxon world, the differences between Confederate secession and both Yugoslavia’s and the USSR’s breakup, Russian history in regards to Euro-England hegemony, the Wolfowitz Doctrine, color revolutions, Russia as a defender of religion, Russophobia as racism, and much more.
Download this podcast, watch on Odysee or YouTube, and listen at Dissident Mama. A few of Dr. Papadopoulos’ gems are this 2016 BBC interview wherein he discusses Aleppo, Syria and its relationship to Russia, and how British Russophobia has roots in the Crimean War; a 2018 interview with Sky News in which he calls out an uppity mainstream journalist (is there any other kind?) for relying on the propaganda tools of Western-backed terrorists; his 2020 talk with Turkish news about the Hagia Sophia being converted into a mosque; and a brutally honest conversation from a few weeks ago about Bakhmut and how it has been a “strategic disaster for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.”

A dryer has a certain number of likely failure points. Some could be as cheap as a six-dollar fuse from some sweat shop in China. I figured I might as well tinker around rather than buying a new one. Testing this particular fuse revealed that, sure enough, it was the culprit.
The expedient solution would be to hotwire the thing and get the laundry dried rather than ordering a new fuse and waiting. However, a potential issue would be overheating and burning down the house.
Doing a quality job is the hallmark of a White man and quality averts disaster. This used to be a principle everyone understood. On a subconscious level, I think most still do, which is the reason why “German Engineering” is a marketing slogan while “Nigerian Precision” is not.
Back to the subjects of China and setting things on fire, the dryer went bust roughly the same time as the train in East Palestine, Ohio. That was exactly the sort of scenario I would’ve expected to hear about in China. Some combination of shoddy work and negligence leads to a massive accident, which leads to a reckless solution that worsens the situation considerably. “Hear” would be the key verb because the authorities there will censor everything out and pretend like nothing happened if that’s mostly feasible. I’ve heard about it quite a bit.
I’m a bit late writing on the subject but also not, as the victims will probably be suffering and dying from this outrage for years to come. We’re in a bizarre age of juxtapositions where it’s a matter of policy at all levels to get White men out of the workforce. Meanwhile, safety accidents keep happening which were kept to a minimum when we made up the vast majority of those in charge of anything that could go majorly wrong.
I just checked out the jobs section on Norfolk Southern’s website and the only tab that didn’t feature blacks was the one for AWS certification. It had a White woman, instead. I suppose we’d be lucky if the Biden Administration hired any more of them.
I asked Biden's nominee for FAA Administrator 7 basic questions about aviation policy.

Of course. It’s exasperating Republicans still think they can shock people with these “gotchas.” This devil-may-care attitude towards achieving diversity (pretty sure that means getting totally rid of us except as janitors) will lead to lots of unfortunate safety incidents. Residing in a modern country means that there’s lots of stuff required to provide us with our lifestyles that could potentially go wrong. Yeah, there’s plenty more in the cards.
I’m not a racist, but I feel compelled to note that lots of things go wrong with black people in terms of safety. Much mayhem finds fruition through as little as an EBT card or a vehicle stolen on a lark. They don’t even have to be delegated authority. Here’s a recent incident:

Structural failure! Pretty sure these guys would beat a drunk Mexican in a competition.Traffic terror aside, this country has been ridding itself of educational standards for decades, which still led to bottlenecks for diversity when it came up against professional certifications. That’s evidence of racism and so they’re being steadily eliminated for the right people. I’ve seen that up close. It used to be a joke that Homer Simpson worked at the nuclear plant. After Laquavious gets that job, we’ll be too sick from radiation to laugh.
I’d take the blacks slamming into my living room.The inexorable logic of this nefarious idiocy is that it will have to play itself out. In other words, you ain’t seen nothin’ like a real accident yet. As our lives become increasingly prone to catastrophe, we’ll begin hearing that “safety standards” is a White supremacist, anti-semitic conspiracy theory when White folks start complaining about how they’d like to have them back.
That’s too bad. To be honest, it doesn’t really bother me in the context of the past few years. After the injections started, I made peace with the realization that some of us will survive but most won’t. The stripping away of safety is essentially a complimentary process. So, when taken into broader consideration, it’s really nothing to get worked up over.
Again, you’re going to have to accept that the objective standards thing is inherently White. That’s not the color of this country’s direction until after the final collapse. Perhaps the souls of the survivors will be cleansed through the pain and horror of the ordeal. One might conceptualize it as a neo-Ragnarök scenario. Instead of the blood of the gods, from radiation and vinyl chloride shall the new world be born. Enjoy your weekend, it could be your last.

Swindling, plunder, and deceit are signature characteristics of our unsustainable economic and financial system. However, energy might be the most essential piece. Without a stable, affordable supply there’s not much of a future, no matter what happens. Prices, therefore, offer a great deal of explanatory value on what transpires around the world.
This constant harping “renewable energy” and “fossil fuels” is exasperating. Both are about as disingenuous as “global warming,” which had to be changed into “climate change.” The original was far more ominous and compelling. That’s why it was chosen in conjunction with fossil fuels. However, it proved so absurd it had to be converted to something that could fit any situation.
The other thing to keep in mind is that electricity is the means by which energy is transmitted from where and however it is generated to consumers. Whenever there’s talk about electrifying something, there’s still the issue of how to generate the energy.

Macrovoices did an interesting and lengthy energy series. It offers no particular revelations to any close follower of the subject, but offers a rather interesting thesis and does a good job of explaining it in layman’s terms.
Essentially, his contention is that while oil and gas aren’t running out, the ease and thus cost of extraction is increasing. There’s no substitute in the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, sufficient investments haven’t been made to ensure an adequate supply because policy has steered them away. The solution to producing more energy for electrification in the long term would be advances primarily in nuclear energy. They’re possible but aren’t happening enough because everything in this sector is controlled by the government. So, we’re probably in for an energy crisis.

Now it’s time for the rant. The reality of our situation is that elites pursue a clusterfuck of contradictory policies that reflect objectives which don’t make any sense when considered as a whole. Here’s two: populations are involuntarily diversified through social engineering and importing the scum of the Earth. Concordantly, elites condemn people for doing too much driving.
For almost all of human history, it would be insane to be living far apart. It’s dangerous and prohibitively inefficient. Settling the American frontier was a perilous endeavor for which those brave souls used to be admired. In Europe, rural life still happens in towns and villages. When Europeans emigrated to places like New York City, they lived close together in ethnic enclaves.
My suspicion is that the core of most modern Americans’ objection to living close together is who’s going to be there and how that would imperil safety and quality of life. Most residents of new developments along the interstates live nearly as close to each other as Europeans. They can open the windows, lean out and touch each other’s houses. Why commute an hour each way every day? Well, because certain demographics can’t and they’re not the White guys from the home security commercials.
I wonder how much the prowler gets paid in one of these. I think I could nail it. It’s actually nice walking everywhere (weather permitting) and not spending so much time and money on a car or lawn. Of course, that’s in a homogeneous situation.
For instance, I lived in Spain around 20 years ago when it was still Spanish. I just walked everywhere and there was delightful al fresco cafe and bar culture. If I needed groceries, there were little shops all over the place. Mom-and-Pop too, from butchers to bakeries. There were buses, but I never bothered taking them.
I once lived in a huge apartment complex in an East Asian city. If I wanted a parking space, the only one available was two stories underground, accessible via a car elevator about the size of an F-150. It would’ve cost more than the apartment and my company wasn’t going to pick up the bill, so why bother? Everything required was close and parking was a nightmare anyways. There was also a subway and almost no crime.
America is a completely different situation. We’ve got to drive. Even so, we’re bombarded with this hysteria over why everyone has to buy an electric vehicle even though there’d never be enough raw materials for the batteries or capacity on the grid. Most people can’t even afford a decent used car at this point, and you can’t save the Earth without buying a Tesla?
I wish I could say it’s all so tiresome and pour myself a drink, but I’m not tired. Quite the opposite, in fact. I’m abstaining from booze until summer and I’ve gone keto. I’m more wired up than this country could ever hope to achieve.
I’ll end by reiterating the fact that diversity is dumped on us in the form of humans who wouldn’t even exist without our subsidies. This enables them to consume modern amounts of energy instead of living in huts that beavers wouldn’t waste a raffle ticket on. In response, we waste massive amounts of energy avoiding them unless they’re paid to come to our houses with their leaf blowers. I hate it when my neighbors do that, they’re rich and there’s plenty of White teenagers playing video games who could use brooms and rakes. Time for the treadmill.

I friend of mine told me a few months ago that he was going to Peru to have some sort of spiritual psychedelic drug retreat or something. I’ve been a lot of places and seen plenty of wild shit, so this sort of thing tends not to pique my interest as I’m more stimulated by paranoia at this point. I inquired as to the impetus for this expedition, and he replied that it was so he could quit drinking. “Why don’t you just quit drinking?” was what sprung to my mind. To be polite, I wished him good luck.

Society is so far gone that people doing voodoo drug rituals in a South American jungle to seek outcomes that can be accomplished right at home with their own willpower doesn’t seem particularly disturbing. I’m not some straight-edge prude with this stuff, either.
What I’m saying is if I recall correctly, both Ted “The Unabomber” Kaczynski and Charles Manson were experimented on with psychedelic substances. Sid Barrett from Pink Floyd went heavy with them and never came back.
Prince Harry is a stable, masculine man dedicated to serving his nation and upholding family honor (that’s sarcasm, hint hint). Here’s his experience:
‘It was the cleaning of the windscreen, cleaning of the windshield, the removal of life’s filters just as much as on Instagram, these layers of filters. [WTF does this even mean?!] ‘It removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, release, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold on to for a period of time. ‘I started doing it recreationally and then started to realise how good it was for me, I would say it is one of the fundamental parts of my life that changed me and helped me deal with the traumas and pains of the past’
Alright, here’s famed QB Aaron Rodgers on doing this miracle juice with a ~~witch doctor~~ shaman:
“There’s a lot of trust. And surrender, I think, is another good word,” Rodgers told the magazine. “You have to surrender to the master plant teacher that is ayahuasca, and there’s naturally some fear around that. And when you do, some pretty incredible things can happen, as was evidenced by night two of my most recent journey.”
How sweet. Really spiritual, great.
He continued: “Night one, I was still a little resistant, and night two, I fully surrendered to the process and to the master teacher, and she was benevolent in her lessons. There’s a lot of overall happiness that exists when you have a deeper love for yourself. It actually allows you, I feel, to give and receive love better and interact with people with less judgment and less projection. So that’s one thing I’ve really been working on.”
There’s a bit more to it, though:
While speaking in a recent interview, the 38-year-old revealed that during his trip to Peru, Rodgers encountered a mysterious character, which he called a ‘Hat Man‘. Although it is to be noted that all these events occurred after the reigning NFL MVP consumed Ayahuasca, a herb that alters a person’s thinking ability, emotions, and senses……“He will sometimes appear in the distance, usually veiled by darkness, holding the corpse of a dead rabbit and sometimes a blade,”…..
Rodgers continued by saying he fears staying alone in the locker room as the lights usually flicker and get off one by one. “It was behind me, not even breathing hard. I heard its feet hitting the ground in a constant rhythm.

Just from this smattering of celebrities, one develops the impression that serious things can go wrong. Perhaps you’re particularly susceptible if you’re whacked-out in the first place. I’m not really sure but I’d caution against tempting fate.

Give it a go, kids!!!Things really do suck around here. Did you attend public school? Shopped at Walmart recently? Drove past a rent-to-own rims store on the way? Watched a child tranny on TV last night? That wasn’t in your head, there’s nothing wrong with you. It sucks, it really does. You’re not crazy for noticing. It’s not your problem for feeling a sense of unease. In fact, you should because you’re not crazy.
Part of being an adult is understanding that life sucks some to most of the time. People you love die, bad people do bad things, the government tries to inject everyone with poison or maybe soon, stick things up your ass. You’ll just have to find a way to cope with it and enjoy what you can. There’s nothing to ingest that will make everything all right with the world.

Covid accelerated the trend of work from home in America. In the name of safety, the percentage of employees working from home jumped to 18%. It was a status thing, not just a covid safety measure. Not everyone enjoyed the flexibility. The interest group hurting now due to this change is a powerful lobbying group, especially in cities, and they are suffering: commercial real estate. This is and will continue to be a fight.
Technology in both employee capabilities and employer surveillance allows for both sides to agree on work from home arrangements. Everyone in that relationship is happier. No productivity loss, some productivity gains, no commutes and happier employees make for a better employment experience. Employers can cut back on overhead by altering the space they rent or eliminating it entirely. Commercial real estate suffers. Vacancies have steadily increased since the pandemic. What has followed is financial strain or bankruptcies for CRE.
They know a crash is in the foggy future. The defaults have begun. Big names are holding garbage and defaulting now, even before a full on recession. As the pandemic has become endemic and most people have changed mindset, return to work efforts have been sluggish. These large office buildings and towers are still only at 45-65% full depending on the city. Suburban office parks that cater to satellite office needs and smaller service firms are ghost towns. Keys are being turned in and pain is present and only going to get worse.
This is important because big players in the FIRE economy are being burned. The other factor is much of the recent renewal in urban areas has been catering to white collar office employers. These employers keep the daytime downtown full of customers for a myriad of hospitality jobs and urban retail. Those workers are not there anymore. Those small food and beverage employers are closing or already gone. Cities lose tax revenue up and down this chain.
This doesn’t even touch on the rising interest rate situation, which makes all the floating debt untenable. Landlords cannot get rate increases to cover for rising interest expenses and to make up for higher vacancies. They need the bodies in the offices.
The pain is widespread and the only beneficiaries are employers who can reduce overhead and employees who enjoy the flexibility. Up against major financial powers and nervous city governments, these happy employees do not stand a chance. There is no work from home advocacy group. There is no union.
Cities & financial firms are going to lean on employers to adopt hybrid models or outright force employees back into the office. Too much investment has been made in rehabilitating urban centers with the knock on residential and economic growth to throw it away for a small slice of employees. Taxing work from home employees can be a lever. Employers adjusting pay for remote employees can be another. The system will chisel at that 18% remote number to get office occupancy rates up to help big money.
While work from home is here to stay, the golden era is likely gone. Additional surveillance layered in the last few years has changed the relationship. Governments and major lobbying groups are hurting. They are organized. Sitting in their pajamas, Jane and Michael type away in their makeshift home offices unaware of the forces angry and moving in on them.

For all of Trump’s many faults, he has caused a positive shift in the review of the 1990s. Before Trump, the 1990s, as a cultural entity, was largely viewed by the mainstream as a carefree American Golden Age, an era of big, dumb, and loud summer blockbusters like Independence Day and shallow pop bands like the Backstreet Boys. And while that 1990s certainly existed, the rise of Trump has also forced a second look at the period, one that focuses on the dark side of the era – the rise of globalization and the serious economic damage to the “lower-middle” and “middle-middle” classes, ethnic tensions greatly increased, Whites becoming a minority in their own countries became a normal prediction, and attacks on icons of Western civilization (from Christopher Columbus to Robert E. Lee) became progressively more open. Appropriately, it was also an era of populist politics in the United States, especially during the first part of the time period, and amusingly enough, both the Left, Right, and Center had their own populist figures. The Left had Ralph Nader and Jerry Brown, the Right had Pat Buchanan and David Duke, and the Center had Ross Perot.
One of the greatest minds of the era, Samuel T. Francis, correctly identified that the real populist threat to the Establishment was what he called “Middle America” – i.e., the traditional core of the U.S., Whites who were small business owners and skilled blue-collar workers. For Francis, their problem was two-fold, in so much as they were fighting a two-front war. While the Republicans (the Establishment Right) was a threat for its vigorous promotion of globalization that threatened their economic wellbeing, the Democrats (the Left) constituted another threat, their desire to tear down the cultural achievements of Middle America and replace them with non-Whites. Looking at the major populist figures of the 1990s, Francis found the vast majority of them to be lacking in some significant way, and thus unable to lead Middle America in a revolt against the elites. Nader, and especially Brown, were both too well connected to the cultural Left to lead this charge, while Perot was too unwilling to take on cultural issues. David Duke had marginalized himself due to his past embrace of the trappings of a certain interwar German movement (among other caustic issues).
So, the mantal to lead Middle America fell on the shoulders of Patrick J. Buchanan. Buchanan alone understood that NAFTA and Heather Has Two Mommies were threats that had to be combatted. Buchanan was able to meet both threats (the Republican moneymen and the Democrat college administrator). As such, he was the only man able to unite Middle America in the fight against both enemies. Nader, Brown, and Perot would only focus on the economic issues, while any given televangelist would singularly focus on the cultural concerns. Buchanan would target both.
Ultimately, the Buchanan movement failed, at least in the short term, and as it was led by Pat Buchanan himself. Part of this is due to mistakes Buchanan made – he was never able to break fully from the Republican Party or even conservatism, which Francis thought would be necessary to see his revolution succeed. Although Pat Buchanan was a Southerner and Catholic, and one who grew up in an era when few Southerners or Catholics were Republican, he was never able to fully escape the stranglehold the Republican Party had on him; in fairness, the two-party duopoly would have made it difficult to do so. He was also never able to break free from conservatism, something else Francis believed would be required. As Sam Francis correctly noted, the global Left won a long time ago; therefore, “conservatism” had lost all its meaning. It was time for the Right to go on the offensive, as revolutionaries. Some of the failure of Buchanan’s movement, though, was not really his fault. An ahistorical economic boom in the late 1990s convinced many that the populists’ warnings were overblown, and the good times were here again – a boom that, as it turned out, was just window dressing for serious decline. Despite its initial failure, the model that Francis created has a great deal of value for the future.
It is worth noting that neither Pat Buchanan nor the late Sam Francis identified as Southern Nationalists, although both men were proud Southerners. Pat Buchanan is an American Nationalist, with some White Nationalist undertones; Sam Francis was a White Nationalist with some American Nationalist tinges. Still, Southern Nationalists can learn from Buchanan’s mistakes and use Francis’s basic model to our benefit. First, we must secede, at least mentally, from the Republican Party, something that the vast majority of Southern Nationalists have already done. The name “Republican Party” should conjure up images of our brave soldiers fighting Yankee hordes under their banner. It should bring up memories of the suffering of Dixie’s patriotic dead, of Southern homes being burned, and Southern women being dishonored. The challenge we face is to make this representation universal for all Southerners. We also must separate from the confines of “conservatism” and realize Francis was correct, the global Left won and now we must use the same tactics they used to achieve their victory and go on the offensive as revolutionaries.
Additionally, we also must remember what Buchanan got right – he was absolutely correct in recognizing both the economic and cultural threats the globalists posed. If we only identify one threat, we are fighting with one arm tied behind our backs. It cannot be a matter of “either/or” but rather “both/and.” So, when the mainstream Right comes along promising to end Drag Queen Story Hour but says nothing about disastrous free trade deals and when the Left is willing to talk about corporate greed but ignores child mutilation via “gender affirming care,” we must do something very different. We must proclaim: (1) we will restrain corporate greed, (2) you will not lose your job to Bangladesh, (3) we will prohibit Drag Queen Story Hour, and (4) we will end the mutilation of children. This will also give us superior messaging on issues where the duopoly is even more explicit. On immigration, our message will be loud and clear – you would not be a minority in your own land just because some leftist hates Southerners or some businessman desires cheap labor.
It is also worth noting that the economic boom that killed the 1990s populist revolt is unlikely to happen again. Far too many people, especially Southerners, have woken up to the new economic reality and realize just how much they are getting shortchanged. We must hit on this point, and hit it hard. We must not care if the National Review thinks we’re really leftists, they called George Wallace a “Country and Western Marxist.” We are fighting for the soul and survival of our people – the Southern people, not the profit margins of Amazon.
Samuel Francis was largely correct, and Buchanan was the best candidate available to lead the movement Francis envisioned. Mistakes were made, but we must learn from them and press on. We are not dead yet, and the dream of a Free Dixie is not over. It only ends when we’re free. The insights of Sam Francis provide us with a path to victory.

But you do not have to be.
It is not that the land that we reside on is fundamentally cursed, but that the people that work the land are cursed.
Heritage Americans have been gifted so much: prosperity, familial inheritance, charity, faith, justice, the message of the Gospel, and on and on.
But many of those very same people have revoked all of it.
I look at many in the older generations today and see nothing but shells. They, like their forefathers, were given so much. And they’ve not only squandered it but also broken the heritage that came with them from centuries ago. They chase after meaningless pursuits of more money or prestige instead of family or Christ. When they do seek after the latter, it’s merely to check the box. They are Pharisees following the traditions of man; or the lukewarms who have lost their first love.
Not all, of course, but many. Now the children – our younger generation – have adopted the sins of the father. As is only natural for the cycle of man.
And we wonder why it seems like God has cursed this land? I propose the opposite question: Why wouldn’t He?
He is just, so we should expect chastisement. He is punishing our people exactly as he punished the Israelites of old. The harshest realization is that we deserve every ounce of it. Look around you and see the average American. Are they deserving of a prosperous legacy?
We kill millions of our own children every year. Those we don’t kill, we call transgender so we can mutilate them or pump full of ADHD/antidepressant meds. We are idolatry central with genuflection toward famous people, the worship of scientism, craving for the environmentalist cults, reverence to the “experts” (man) and so on. I mean, our land is even the foundational ground of the great spiritual degenerations of the 1800s (Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, dispensationalism, etc.), which is even continuing into the modern day with oneness Pentecostals (gnostics) and literal theology known as “prosperity gospel” (i.e.: worship of Mammon). Even many of our right-wingers are secular materialists. We’re completely estranged.
We are no different from the chosen line who was gifted everything but equally denied everything. What was their result? They were carried off by Babylon. Then later branched off with the majority regarded as the synagogue of Satan.
Now, we are Babylon. And thus, our people are equally cursed, and likely destined for destruction, because they will not repent.
God punishes those who have received the message and denied it much harsher in this life than those who have not yet heard it. What country has been given more of the message, more instruction, or more chances than our own?
Honestly, I don’t think there is another country with more. We are it. And we are not bearing any fruits from it. Quite the opposite, actually. Our primary exports are degeneracy and anti-Christs. Which means we are the Israelites of old. Those that intimately knew the truth but walked away.
This union began with blood, and it will end with blood. Isaiah 3 explains our predicament quite well:
8 For Jerusalem stumbled,
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as Sodom;
They do not hide it.Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.10 “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,
For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
For the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.”
Those of us trying to hold the remnant together know Isaiah’s lamentations intimately, even if we have not yet read them. They sound familiar to our own mournings for our people.
I encourage you to distance yourself from our modern Sodom. And take a note from Lot’s wife – Don’t look back in desire once it burns. Just be thankful that it is finally gone.
The only question is if we can balkanize and secure a plot for the faithful remnant before that happens.
While God punishes the nation, he always protects his remnant.
Be that remnant. No matter where you are.
This country is cursed. But you can – and must – rise above it.

I wasn’t going to write anything this week, as I am on vacation with my siblings at our childhood home, a beautiful coastal Carolina village rich in Southern history. However, the despotic editors of Identity Dixie have compelled me into a submission, and I am the better man for it. We must always be concerned with the goal, we may rest when we are free, when the inheritors of our labor will assume the work of staying free, but until then, we must press forward.
I’m presently listening through the masterful work of one Mr. Shelby Foote, and his sobering chronicles of our Second War for Independence. The only disappointment, besides the end of the book and a pause in our struggle, is that the narration is not in the beautifully Southern voice of the author. Although, it is adequately narrated, and I would recommend a listening for those that spend large quantities of time commuting (the first book being 38 hours).
What I’ve gleaned so far, listening as if I had never read a book on the conflict, is a tale that is so common among men. There are men of action, men that are paralyzed with inaction for fear of losing and being blamed for that loss, and there are men that strategize and patiently wait for the right moment to unleash fury on their enemies. Both the first and the third are precisely the type of men that achieve their objectives, while the one who languishes in the middle is of no use.
In the heat of the Battle of First Manassas, the Yankees were fleeing the field, their lines broken, the onlookers from Washington were in a panic, and Jefferson Davis encountered “Stonewall” Jackson. Jackson was energized and begging for ten thousand soldiers to crush the invaders at that very moment, and Davis was encouraged by this man of action. However, his superiors, Johnston and Beauregard, chose not to press the fight, deciding that their men were too tired and unfed to assure victory.
In the West, after a massive victory at Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River, Grant’s ironclad river boat fleet was severely damaged from the pinpoint gunnery of the Southern defenders, and his ground forces repelled; three of the four Confederate commanders chose delay, in argument over whether to pursue. However, Nathan Bedford Forrest, a man bent only on victory, pressed to pursue Grant as he laid back on his heels. Delay allowed the advantage to be lost, and the Confederates turned victory into defeat, losing twelve thousand men to be captured, along with the fort. Forrest, having no patients for surrender, moved to Nashville unhindered by Union forces. And upon arrival, managed the logistics, moving all the supplies for the Confederate Army to safer locations, with the surrender of the city a fait accompli. This man of action saved the Southern Army in the West.
With the conversation on a “National Divorce” hot in the press, and on the lips of millions of Americans, we must press our advantage. Those that tightly grasp to power are feeling the pressure of the zeitgeist moving in our direction. Now is the time for men and women of action. Talk to your family, engage your friends, and get in the ears of your neighbors. There is no shortage of good news, be informed, and spread the gospel of state sovereignty to ever opening ears.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

One of the easy tricks played by the MSM is to spam the same story from all sources. This lends credibility to the canard because consumers get the impression that all of these independent outlets examined the same evidence and arrived at the same conclusion. When somebody who thinks he’s sophisticated reads the same thing in the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal it must surely be true.
In reality, there’s no such thing as an independent mainstream outlet. Moreover, it consumes resources to do original reporting, and this could lead to a muddled message. So, they rely on certain organizations to provide the appropriate content.

For the showdown with Russia, this would be the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Basically, every single piece of outrageous nonsense sold to the public rests on underlying source material from these pathologically dishonest parasites led by Donald Kagan (Kaganovich). He’s the husband of Victoria Nuland (Nudelman) who spearheaded the coup in Kiev back in 2014 and the civil conflict that ensued. They were also behind Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc. They’re the gift that just keeps on giving.
Their brilliant plan was to create a quagmire to “overextend” Russia. This would be used as a pretext for sanctions that would collapse its economy in preparation for a scaled-up version of what was done to Ukraine. The Russian Federation would eventually be broken up into controllable entities and then it would be on to China, which would be strangled of vital Russian imports and support.
The part they leave out of the white papers is that millions of Russians would perish in this process, as they did when Kagan’s people murdered the imperial family to institute communism back in 1918 and then conducted a looting operation in the 1990s after that plan failed to serve their goals.
These plans never work out as intended. Whereas his forebears were able to harness the British Empire to plunder China and India, foment two world wars, create the state of Israel, and so on, Kagan’s generation has basically failed at everything.
This is in part because the past the goals were more limited. The problem is that these successes paved the way to the end game, which is the subjugation of every single human being on the planet. This simply isn’t possible. Still, it’s considered their ethno-religious birthright, so they’ll never leave good enough alone. It’s in both their Satanic religion and their evil nature. They can’t help themselves.
It’s also the fact that while this generation is incompetent, they still have the backing of their tribe, which holds a stranglehold on all facets of power. Their immunity from criticism or even an honest accounting of who they really are and what they want enables them to proceed from one disaster to the next. The best anyone can do is call them neocons but even that’s not a term for polite discourse because it’s one layer away from the truth.

These exact same parasites who said the Russians would run out of munitions within the first week are still making the same nonsensical claims a year later instead of being fired for incompetence. The average person knows if they were this bad at their job they’d be gone, so they can’t conceptualize how the same people could still be making the same predictions that never turn out to be true. There’s a whole ecosystem of this nonsense right down to right wing-style memes they share to AstroTurf popular support. They’re not even good at this stuff, either:

The reality of this conflict is that horrendous losses have been inflicted on the Ukrainians along a line of contact that would stretch from DC down to the middle of Florida. For instance, over 8,000 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles have been destroyed thus far. Most of this has happened in positional artillery battles in order to minimize Russian losses.
I still hear from military officers who think Ukraine is winning as if it’s like the Battle of Endor (Star Wars) or something. They literally think the Ukrainians are wasting waves of brain-dead Russian tanks with javelins. The professional ignorance is particularly alarming when one considers what we’re ramping up for next. I’ve been told that the Russians are taking enormous casualties in turkey shoots as conscripts are used to bum rush Ukrainian positions without rifles.
It’s understandable that most Americans don’t have a technical grasp of what’s going on and can’t visualize the enormous scale. When Ukraine didn’t fold like Iraq, it was easy to mislead them as to why, even if they had the background to know better. Russia’s tactic of trading ground to avoid casualties and pound advancing forces with artillery is easy to market as retreats so that makes pretty good fodder for fooling them as well.

We’ll be doing it to save the Chinese people from a dictatorship. Can’t even come up with a new script one single time.The Ukraine project is orders of magnitude more stupid and reckless than Iraq. That became obvious as soon as Putin ordered direct military intervention and Russia’s economy stayed strong. Neither of those things were supposed to happen. Russian restraint from invasion was going to come from the fear of economic collapse, but this was going to be induced anyways. That’s it. There was never any feasible military path to victory on Russia’s home turf. It didn’t even work in Syria.
The slaughter goes on unabated because they don’t know what to do but can’t admit they were wrong. The Ukrainians aren’t allowed to ask for a ceasefire, so negotiations could get underway to end the conflict. The Russians have settled into methodically killing everyone and blowing everything up until it all falls apart.
The irony is that in a negotiation both sides will have to settle for less than 100%, but without one, Russia will probably take everything it wants and impose a massive DMZ which strategically isn’t good for NATO. It’s reminiscent of their brilliant ideas for using Iraq to reshape the Middle East for Zionist purposes that led to Iran being able to establish a Shia arc all the way to Israel.
Apparently, the Russian General Staff has planned on a 30-month war that could widen. So, they’re anticipating a protracted conflict fought to the last Ukrainian, although that’s clearly not what they were seeking at first. That probably wasn’t unreasonable seeing as Ukraine had no way to win, so they sought to pressure a settlement rather than this horror.
As a country, Ukraine is essentially over because the Russians are annexing the most valuable areas that made it a viable entity while blowing up critical infrastructure. Without billions a month coming in from the U.S., the population would be in danger of starvation and, at some point, that money is going to dry up. It’s all a completely preventable tragedy.
We’ve got even bigger problems ahead because that they can’t accept defeat. Nobody will be held accountable for this debacle and allow a multi-polar world to exist with Russia and China as sovereign entities. So, they’re pivoting to taking out China first and another idiotic scheme for getting Russia will come along later after the resounding success against China.
That’s an even more dangerous project than Ukraine and would lead to domestic collapse in the U.S., but that’s why the narratives in the media are shifting focus. They won’t stop until they destroy themselves. We’re just along for the ride. Don’t worry, we’ve got a decent shot at voting our way out of this one.

Right. The post The Gifts That Keep On Giving appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Over the past few weeks, in both interviews and through my writings, I have stated that the Republican nominee for 2024 cannot win the presidential election. My logic has nothing to do with an ideological message or the candidates themselves. This is merely about numbers. The electoral votes are no longer there for the GOP. However, I am wrong – but only by means of a longshot opportunity for whomever wins the Republican primary for presidential candidate. Virginia is now the only “swing” state for the possibility of a Republican president. The following is why and how this impacts a Trump candidacy.
In 2016, Donald Trump won the election by winning states previously considered impossible for Republican candidates – Michigan and Pennsylvania. In that year, he won all of the red states a Republican needed to win, as well as the “lean red” toss-up states. For the moment, I am going to ignore the very obvious election fraud that occurred in 2020 and simply focus on comparing numbers, but I will return to the subject of fraud. Trump’s 2016 victory was made possible by ensuring every Southern state except Virginia voted for him, as well as the industrial Midwest victories. In 2020, Trump “lost” Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and most notably, Georgia.
The losses in Pennsylvania and Michigan were due to the manipulation of the Covid-19 paranoia and changes in voting policy, one of which was illegal (PA). I state that Pennsylvania’s voting laws are illegal because the Constitution requires state-run election changes to pass through state legislatures, then signed into law by the state executive before they are instituted accordingly. Former Governor Wolf (PA) changed the law arbitrarily without the legislature and when the changes were contested in a Democrat run state Supreme Court, the court upheld Wolf’s illegal changes. When the matter was brought to the Supreme Court, three judges wanted to hear the arguments, but they were overruled by the John Roberts-led majority who declined to hear the case. It was a travesty, at the least, and it sealed the election shut.
For its part, Michigan’s expansion of electoral ballots, the elimination of reasonable checks against fraud, and concentrations of voter boxes amongst demographic blocs within dominant urban areas, such as Detroit, ensured a Biden victory. They did not have to cheat, per se. They simply expanded voting to an extent that made voting impossible to manage and easier to manipulate.
Pennsylvania and Michigan continue to have the same Democrat executive administration, thus nothing will change. In 2022, Whitmer was able to exploit her power and the changes she implemented in 2020 to ensure she has a super majority of Democrat control in her state. In effect, Michigan is the polar opposite of Florida, where DeSantis led a very quiet reorganization of the state to ensure a Republican super majority in perpetuity.
Meanwhile, Trump’s 2020 losses in Arizona and Georgia are the result of a combination of demographics and electoral changes that preceded Covid-19. Both states have been overrun by Yankee transplants who vote overwhelmingly leftist after they escape leftist hellholes. In Arizona, White leftists combine with Hispanic migrants to provide an anti-White, leftwing coalition. In Georgia, White leftists combine with black voters (about 30%) to provide their own anti-White, leftwing coalition. Georgia and Arizona made voting easier for different reasons in the years preceding 2020, causing election fraud to be significantly easier, such as the elimination of voter ID rules and signature matching.
The difference between Georgia and Arizona is that the latter now has a Democrat run executive, Katie Hobbs. Ms. Hobbs is the former Secretary of State for Arizona from 2019 – 2023 (elected governor in 2022). She is the party responsible for the election laws that made Trump’s election impossible in Arizona. Now she holds the power, along with current Arizona Democrat Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes, to ensure the Republican will not win that state in 2024. For decades, Republicans relied on Arizona and now it is gone.
As for Georgia, Kemp and Raffensperger proved that they could win elections at will with their sizeable in-state political machine. They also proved, as evidenced by the Trump-backed Herschel Walker, that they could withdraw support for a candidate with whom they did not hand select. In essence, if you want to win in Georgia, you have to play ball. It also helps if the Republican candidate is not a black man who has been knocked in the head far too many times.
When viewed through the totality of the electoral map, Republicans no longer have Arizona. They cannot win Pennsylvania or Michigan. As for Georgia, only a candidate that gets along with Kemp (or the Georgia political machine) can win.
Looking at the 2024 map, assuming we concede Georgia to the Republican candidate (not a sure thing; Kemp hates Trump), the electoral map becomes 277 Democrat vs 261 Republican, if the states vote the way I believe they will vote in 2024. The threshold is 270 to win. However, if we extrapolate Virginia and make it the last true swing state, the balance of power changes.
Figure 1: Padraig Martin Prediction 2024Figure 2: Padraig Martin – Virginia Swing StateIf a Republican candidate can win Virginia, he can win the election. Virginia’s thirteen electoral votes are critical to the Republican in 2024. There is no other path to victory.
Again, this is not about the candidate, per se. This is not about the messaging of the party. This is simple math based on the nitty-gritty of local machine politics. Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Michigan are lost forever. That is not a defeatist mindset; it is a realistic mindset. The Democrat machines in those states will never allow 2016 to happen again. Neither Florida, Texas, nor Ohio are leaving the conservative camp. But without one of those peel-away states, the Republican cannot win the election. If you look at the maps provided, the states marked blue are not changing. The states marked red are not changing. Sure, there are some weird potential pick-ups for one or the other side in Maine and Nebraska due to their bizarre split-vote electoral system, but one vote in either direction will not change the election. Virginia is the only genuine hunting ground.
Before I begin, it should be known that despite the fact that Florida is my home, Virginia is very special to me for a lot of reasons. My American ancestors go back to Virginia beginning in about 1670. My daughters were born in Virginia, as were my American great-grandparents. My American grandmother would have been born in Virginia had it not been for the fact that my great-grandmother went into labor in Seaford, Delaware, on the Delmarva Peninsula. I went to college in Virginia. I owned two homes in Virginia – one in Virginia Beach and one in Leesburg. I still have a financial interest in one of those homes. I was a resident of Virginia for ten years, both volunteering and financially supporting Republican candidates in the state going back to 2008. The following are my personal observations of Virginia, but not from an aloof distance of Northeast Florida. They are based on personal knowledge of that exceptional country.
For its part, the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV) is a mess, yet despite itself, the RPV won all of the statewide executive offices in 2021 with Glenn Youngkin as the gubernatorial candidate. It is hard to know whether that was an endorsement of Youngkin or fatigue over the absolutely terrible leadership of McAuliffe and Northam, the back-to-back Democrat governors of Virginia. Youngkin ran against an attempted second term by McAuliffe, so I suspect it was the latter. (NOTE: in Virginia, governors cannot serve back-to-back terms.)
The problem for the RPV is that there are really three Republican constituencies in Virginia, and two really despise each other. In some ways, they form a microcosm of the country as a whole. However, Virginia politics is a blood-sport, largely due to its proximity to Washington, D.C. It is the bedroom community of the federal government and that impacts the state’s politics in ways that are simply nonexistent in other areas of the country. Dissecting those three constituencies and you immediately gain an understanding as to how hard it is to win in that state as a Republican when faced against a unified leftwing opponent.
The first constituency are the diehard, conservative, pro-Southern traditionalists. They backed Trump in 2016 and 2020. They backed Corey Stewart in 2018. They are sick of the globalist, limp-wristed approach to politics. They want change and they demand responsive conservative governance. They will not come out and vote for a lukewarm conservative unless they absolutely have to do so. Voter turnout is why Republican Ed Gillespie failed to beat Northam in 2017 – because he distanced himself from Trump. This group does not tolerate such behavior.
The second constituency is Virginia’s sizeable military and military-industrial sector. They vote with their wallets, but not in a “lower tax” kind of way. Rather, they are generally more conservative from a cultural and even economic vantage point, but they want big fancy toys and awesome overseas wars to boost their financial value. This is a coalition between the enormous naval presence in Virginia’s District-2/Hampton Roads (essentially Virginia Beach/Norfolk) and the Beltway Bandits – i.e., government contractors – who encircle Washington. Both vote for the presidential candidate whom they believe will give them the most power and resources. They also vote for the winning horse. The Navy Admiral and a Senior Vice President at Raytheon probably supported Clinton in 2016 because they “knew” she would win. They likely vote Republican for their local elected officials. They certainly voted for Republican Youngkin in 2021.
It does not matter, however, if they may harbor personal conservative leanings. Whomever runs for office in front of this group needs to be able to say, “You will have big fancy toys… big contracts… when I win this election.” This constituency also values discipline above almost any other personal trait. A steady approach to personal advancement is their most important value. That is how someone becomes a senior ranking officer in the military, government, or government related corporations. Half-cocked or undisciplined attacks turn them off. This is the group that likely disliked Trump’s failure to garner another war and his Twitter rants.
In general, the majority of the first constituency does not really understand that the second constituency is not on their side. They are blinded by a 1980s driven myopia that sees all things military as intrinsically conservative, so they ignore them. The group that the first constituency really hates is the third constituency, Virginia’s milquetoast “conservative” business class.
The rivalry between the first and third groups dates back to the founding of the colony in some ways. The third constituency is largely a version of Virginia’s natural aristocratic class. Whereas some can be far more conservative than others, they are generally a very measured people. This is the class that is comprised of businessmen, land owners, and other primarily “normie” conservatives who run the RPV. In a room, this group is more comfortable with Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush than the flashy and bombastic Donald Trump. They typically dislike Marxism/leftist economics, wild social changes, or disrupting the applecart. Whereas they do not necessarily loathe the first Republican constituency, they do not understand them. Consequently, when Corey Stewart won the primary against Nick Freitas, this constituency refused to turn out for Stewart because they could not be seen supporting “the racist” neo-Confederate candidate, despite the fact that Stewart represented their interests better than the Democrat, Tim Kaine.
In fact, Glenn Youngkin is very much a part of this group, but to his credit, he has said and done some things to reach out to the first constituency (e.g., CRT in education) without disrupting the second and third constituencies (e.g., maintaining a business-like composure). Threading the needle becomes challenging for any Republican in Virginia. In effect, anger the first constituency, and they will not turn out to vote. Repel the third constituency, and they will not turn out, either. The candidate who can excite the first constituency without offending the third constituency, while simultaneously appearing disciplined for the second constituency, will win Virginia’s Republican electorate.
Since the state is almost evenly divided, despite dramatic demographic changes to the state over the past twenty years, Virginia is more of a “turn out the base” battleground than an “excite the base” type of playing field. What do I mean by that? In places like Arizona and Michigan, the numbers for a Republican victory are simply not there. They have been demographically outnumbered for years. In Arizona, that is true of the past five years due to Hispanic and California leftwing migrants. In Michigan, that has been true of the past forty-plus years, between black voters, Arab voters, and traditional leftwing big labor supporters. Generating enthusiasm in those states is required to win them, because the Republican minorities (a recent phenomenon in AZ) need to overwhelm their statistical disadvantages.
In Virginia, turning out the massive Western and Southern portions of the state (first constituency) is critical to counteract the overwhelming leftist advantage in Northern Virginia and the Richmond metro area. Numerically, they are even, but the expanse of territory that the RPV must manage compared to the more concentrated Northern Virginia suburbs is challenging. Still, it can be done. If you can get enough third constituency normiecon suburbanites to hold the line within enclaves throughout the state, especially in Loudoun County, the victory comes from the second constituency – concentrated around Hampton Roads’ large naval presence.
Where does this all lead? Virginia becomes the default battleground for 2024 – whether Republicans like it or not. Their chances are tough, but not impossible. Whomever they choose in the primary will need to be able to win Virginia. This is not an endorsement of Youngkin, by the way. I do not think he has what it takes to win a national election in general and he is a relative political neophyte. Rather, the selection has to be able to create enough enthusiasm within the Trump base (first constituency), make the military and government contractors confident that he is “their guy” (second constituency), and remain disciplined, reserved, and smart enough not to put off suburban mothers, businessmen, and other country club types (third constituency). If you put that candidate on the table, he has a shot at winning Virginia and the presidency in 2024… assuming voting matters at all.

I was recently at a gathering with some friends. A couple gave me the keys to their place so I can take care of a cat while they’re traveling. I told them not to be alarmed, but that I might have to strip out the copper to fund my drug habit if it gets any worse. That’s the sort of quip that generates some nervous laughter from affluent liberal White people.
One feature of this demographic is that they police themselves to always make sure their speech falls within acceptable narrowing parameters and start getting visibly nervous when they sense an interlocutor is going up to the line. Thus, a tranny joke was okay not too long ago and now there’s a 4-star admiral tranny at the White House and this freak is strictly off limits for humor. I was actually informed that even saying the word “tranny” is highly inappropriate.
A friend of ours has been activated because she’s an anti-vaxxer whom I enlightened with information about a certain ethno-religious group during the pandemic hoax. Now she’s prone to making Hitler-had-some-good-ideas comments after a few glasses of wine, which will practically cause everybody else to leap into the air with shock and fear. It’s pretty hilarious, like if one of the characters from the show Friends decided to become a Nazi.
One thing I’ve come to accept since COVID has played itself out is that this species of Whites is simply incorrigible. There’s nothing that’s going to prompt any introspection on their part, either. You can get them to take multiple injections and then they’ll contract COVID multiple times and never reexamine how they came to arrive at their poor choices. The best they can do is shut up about the matter and await their next potential suicide instructions.
I’m not even sure how they’re made, I doubt it’s genetic. My family members are this way and regard me as a nutjob. What I understand quite well is how these instructions are imparted. It’s rather simple: define whatever it is as what the moral and intellectually sophisticated people think and define it in contrast to what the stupid, ignorant bad Whites have concluded.
In their minds: dumbass rednecks die hooked up to ventilators with their MAGA hats still on, while they do not. It’s Satanic in its simplicity. With this one weird trick, they’ll accept anything. The child trannies serve as the ultimate proof of concept. By the way, start talking about Satanism and they’ll really know you’re nuts.
What I’m getting here is that while we’re endeavoring to promote the truth and common sense, a massive percentage of the population is immune to these obvious things you’ve probably been noticing your whole life. So, if that’s where you’re getting your hope from, just go ahead and abandon all of it.
Have a nice day and God bless America.

Was Lincoln a fascist? It’s interesting to me how people will slap labels on those with whom they disagree, and how the meanings of those labels then become muddled in discourse that leads to widely varying ideas about where systems of governance belong on the confused Left-Right political spectrum.
I remember a lecture by a missionary from South Africa drawing attention to the fasces bundles composing the arms of the throne on which the statue of Lincoln reposes in his D.C. memorial. In the same lecture, he then also called attention to the fact that Lincoln’s memory is celebrated in communist Cuba. Is there a contradiction here? I don’t think so, but not because I would without explanation equate fascism with communism. In like manner, neither would I use the terms socialism and communism interchangeably.
Perhaps it would be helpful in at least giving pause to some of the authors of confusion – of which I hope you won’t count me as one at the conclusion of this piece – if we’d ask ourselves: “what are the sine qua non (without which, not) elements of the labels we use?” For example, as I understand it, two non-negotiable elements for all professing communists are atheism and internationalism. Trotsky and Stalin were both atheists, but there was a parting of the ways when Trotsky saw that Stalin’s commitment to internationalism and perpetual revolution was giving way to Bonapartism and a commitment to Russian hegemony.
Stalin and the Soviets smeared any opposition to themselves as “fascist,” but consider that “Lenin had repeatedly advised his followers to accuse their opponents of the crimes they themselves were planning, in order to protect themselves and confuse the public.”
“Marx was a genius… “Communism” he says, “must win because Capital will give it that victory, though its enemy.” … Communism can triumph as the result of inborn idiocy… To be able to achieve the transformation of homo sapiens [sagacious man] into homo stultum [foolish man] is to possess magical force, capable of bringing man down to the first stage of the zoological ladder, i.e. to the level of the animal. Only if there is homo stultum in the epoch of the apogee of Capitalism could Marx formulate his axiomatic proposition: contradictions plus time equal Communism.”
J. Landowsky, Red Symphony, trans. George Knupffer, Christian Rakovsky Interrogation
Contradictions plus time equal Communism. Now there’s a phrase to remember in sorting things out!
The “without which, not” for true fascism is that the totalitarian authority of the state trumps any considerations of family, community, or the value of personality. National Socialist Germany was not fascist. The Reich was authoritarian, but not totalitarian, and it’s an important distinction. Communists, true fascists, and the puppet masters of “democratic” liberalism’s sell-out politicians, are totalitarian. Lincoln’s forced Union was totalitarian. The various political systems in the world that actually do, in the various ways tailored to the natural and historical proclivities of their peoples, promote freedom of association, political self-determination, ethnic nationhood, and the value of personality, have, at backs-against-the-wall times realized, that you can’t fight a forest fire in a fire engine with a Robert’s Rules of Order in the glove box. All conservatism stands weak against radicalism.
“Humanity acts as if it does not understand what Communism is, as if it does not want to understand, is not capable of understanding. It is precisely because its essence is beyond comprehension, perhaps, that Communism is so difficult to understand. p. 54. This is something which is almost incomprehensible to the human mind: a burning greed for profit that goes beyond all reason, all self-control, all conscience, only to get money. pp. 12-13. It is a system where the constitution has never been adhered to for one single day; where all the decisions are reached in secrecy, among a small, irresponsible clique and are then flung down on us and on you like a bolt of lightning.” p. 38.
Solzhenitsyn, Warning to the West, trans. The Bodley Head Ltd
To return to the opening question: Was Lincoln a fascist? Yes, I think the sculptors of the memorial got it right. His own arrogated authority, which he grounded on a supposed inviolable perpetual union, in his twisted mind trumped all blood ties and lawful constitutional considerations. He himself admitted this, as I pointed out in an earlier article on this site, when he rationalized violating his oath to uphold the Constitution in order to preserve (?) a nation – now really an empire – formerly sworn and bound to live by the terms of that document.
It’s also been pointed out by some that one of his primary motivations for not just “letting the South go” was because he didn’t want to lose the revenue from the then most prosperous area of the Union. Was he a Communist Internationalist? Probably not, but his actions certainly furthered their ends, and Marx hailed the Union victory. The cost of his war of aggression undid the prior stand of the Andrew Jackson administration against a national bank.
“In 1862, rather than pay the central bankers 24-36% interest, Lincoln printed “Greenback” banknotes… However, under pressure to find enough money to win the war, “Lincoln allowed the bankers to push through the National Banking Act of 1863 in exchange for their support for the urgently needed additional Greenbacks.” p. 186. Mr. [John] Sherman [Ohio] declares that there has never been such an opportunity for capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this act, and that the old plan of State Banks is so unpopular that the new scheme will, by contrast, be favorably regarded, notwithstanding the fact that it gives the National Banks an almost absolute control of the National finance. p. 187. As historian John Kenneth Galbraith explained: “In numerous years following the war, the Federal government ran a heavy surplus. It could not [however] pay off its debt, retire its securities, because to do so meant there would be no bonds to back the national bank notes. To pay off the debt was to destroy the money supply.” p. 188.

It seems fitting to close this piece with an excerpt from Adolf Ehrt’s Communism in Germany that reads like it might just as well be addressed to 2023 America, and describes so well the stake all of us have in the issue of this ongoing contest that’s endured so many setbacks. The language is in portions hauntingly reminiscent of James Henley Thornwell’s sermon “The Rights and Duties of Masters.”
“The decisive days of the year 1933 saw a peculiar historical drama in Germany – the clashing of two revolutions, a renaissance and an insurrection, the violent collision of which crushed and destroyed the hitherto existing form of government. The nation remained triumphant on the field. It had not fought only for itself, for its freedom and its future; it felt it was bearing arms for all Western Christian nations in a war against Bolshevism. The decisive battle between faith and godlessness, between national consciousness and internationalism, between spirit, honor and character on the one side, and bestiality, dishonor and crime on the other, was fought on German soil. p. 177. It is not only Germany’s “own affair”, because no other nation can be disinterested in whether the heart of Europe sinks into Bolshevism or sets about an internal and external healing process in an honest and inspired manner… May other nations and states have sufficient insight and good will to recognize this and follow the German example. The destruction of the Communist International is a task for the nations of the whole of the Christian and civilized world.” p. 179.

What is community? The simple definition of community is a social unit with commonality such as place, norms, religion, values, customs or identity. I think a true community needs many of those things, not just one to make it, in fact, a true community. Many times, a community is viewed as simply a geographical boundary, not based on those born there but rather who is currently living there. It is more than that, much deeper than that. Community is knowing the people around you and being tied to the people around you. Just because you live next door to someone doesn’t mean you are in a community with that person. If a group of people have an intertwined history, they are more likely to be in a stronger community, and one sharing similar traditions and history.
We were having a men’s meeting at church, and it was going to be an all-day meeting. We took a break at lunch time. We all brought something to contribute: meat, bread, chips, cheese, and coffee. We made our lunches and discussed work and the like. We made fun of the guy that owned a pellet smoker, standard guy stuff. Something caught my attention that had an impact on what community really means and why it is so important.
We started cleaning up our mess and throwing things away in the trash. On top of the trash can was a note: “Please dump all liquids in the sink first” – George. This was a simple index card with a simple sentence written on it, but this actually struck me as a true definition of community. We all dumped our cups in the sink, just because we all knew George and he had asked us to do so. This is what community is actually about. In fact, we even double checked and made sure there weren’t any liquids in our cups, because George is a member of our community, and he empties the trash cans at church in his spare time as a contribution to his community. George’s simple note had caused us to make sure we didn’t create extra work for George, even though he wasn’t there. He was contributing to the betterment of his community, so we wouldn’t want to make things difficult for him.
This is the difference in community and commonality. Community is about building relationships with one another as families; yes, a central building block to a community is geographical location or common interest, but just because I live next to someone doesn’t mean we live in a community together. Just because we both drive the same type of vehicle does not mean we are in a community. What makes a community is caring for one another and being there for people when they need you, even when they don’t ask for help.
Communities are individuals with a common background and common history coming together to preserve something worth fighting for, and for the simple fact that they mean something to one another. When you know a person and remember the time they helped you out or the time you helped them, it creates a bond that is important. This is where culture is born. A real community will celebrate success and sorrow together, because each individual in the community is affected by these things. A community is where you can leave your doors unlocked and you can let your kids play outside from sunup until sundown without worry.
I used to live in such a community, the kids knew to behave because the parents all knew one another. Now that is gone, and the doors are locked at night and during the day. There are still spots of community where we double check things for George, and make sure our friends are okay, but we have lost the community that once was, and we need to get it back and restore our heritage for the future generations.

One common complaint by consoomers is that rightwingers (like me) are hypocrites because we hate modern Hollywood for being woke and forcing non-White and female characters into movies, but we love stuff like The Terminator and Alien, along with the first sequels for both films, and these films feature female protagonists front and center. So, the line of thinking goes for the consoomer: there is no real difference between what Hollywood creates now and those older films and, more importantly, if those films were to come out now, they would be bashed for being woke. While it is true that I hate the “girl power” films of today and love The Terminator and Alien, this accusation carries no merit beyond the most surface level analysis.
There are several major differences between what stuff like The Terminator and Alien did and what Hollywood produces now. The first and most critical difference is that those earlier films were actually good. This is more than just my opinion, or even the case of older films being cut some slack due to nostalgia; at this point, the Marvel films have been around long enough that we can safely say they really don’t have much “cultural staying power.” Take a famous line from a movie that used to be one of the highest grossing films of all time: “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.” It’s a great line, but it is also instantly recognizable. Even before I saw The Godfather, I knew what that line was from and what it meant. Is there anything from the Marvel movies, or even the Star Wars sequels, that can hold a place in the broader culture like this? Sure, people watch Marvel movies, but how much has really permeated in the wider culture, and to the point where its greatness is still being discussed decades later? This applies to something like Alien, too. The chestburster scene resonated with people because it was so well done (and horrifying). I doubt even the biggest consoomer can make the argument that anything in the MCU is remotely comparable.
Besides, even though Alien and The Terminator feature female main characters, there is more to them than constantly reminding the audience that “girls are awesome and can do no wrong.” They are both extremely well written and compelling characters. Yes, they have strengths, and they discover these strengths more throughout the course of each respective film. However, they also have weaknesses, too. In other words, they are realistic characters, and these films do a fine job with character development. Sarah Connor actually is a persuasive character – she’s well written and feels like a real person. At first, she is clearly no match for the T-800, but throughout the film she changes and adapts (with the help of Kyle Reese); so, when the antagonist is defeated (crushed by a hydraulic press), it feels exciting, it feels as if something that should not have happened has happened, and not in a cheesy tacked on way. Contrast this with Rey from the Star Wars sequels. She’s essentially fully formed from the moment she appears on screen. There is no sign of her struggling at achieving her goals and she experiences little, if any, discernable development of any kind. And this equates to a less interesting character and the central problem of the Star Wars sequels. I am a Star Wars fan, but even I have problems remembering the sequels, something I never thought I would admit. Sure, the prequel trilogy was bad, but at least they were bad enough to remember them, the sequel trilogy cannot even do that.
Next, while I have no issue with a film having a message, there is a difference between having a message and doing it well. The average consoomer cannot understand this distinction. I think it’s generally better for a film to be subtle in its messaging, but this does not always have to be the case. I love the original Dawn of the Dead and, while there are many great things I can say about it, I will be the first to admit that it is not a subtle film. The movie is very blatant in its attacks on consumption-driven Americans, but it is also a great horror film, even with the socio-political subtext included. However, this is not the issue with most of Woke Hollywood. They want to introduce a message, not handle it well, and then expect praise for doing so. What is tragic, though, is the extent the consoomer has played along with this scheme. As more time goes by, the more I realize just how important of a movie the all-female reboot of Ghostbusters was. Not because of the movie itself, but rather because of the post-backlash: a significant portion of the Left decided to automatically defend Hollywood every time it went for woke political posturing, doing so to score points against those mean rednecks and cultural reactionaries. This does reveal how the consoomer mind works. For better or worse, I can understand why the Right, especially the normie Right, will defend media that looks to be, even if superficially, in their favor – this is a starved audience. But the consoomer does not have that excuse, almost everything Hollywood produces is geared to their political sensibilities, but they still have not developed a more refined palate.
Finally, there is a difference between a film having a female main character, or even being made for women, and a film being poorly made feminist propaganda. This is not well known, but much of what Hollywood made during its Golden Age, an era I date from roughly 1935 to 1950, was actually produced with a female audience in mind. Why this was the case between 1941-1945 is easy enough to figure out, but the reasoning behind this trend outside of the war years merits some study. And while there certainly were plenty of films made for a primarily male audience in those years, the reason for the female tilt in Golden Age Hollywood was because the studios found out they could sell more tickets with women. The rationale for this is because women are hardwired to be more social than men, while a man may go see a movie with a friend, he may also go alone. A woman, however, would not go to a movie alone, she would at least bring a friend. To make matters even better from a ticket selling perspective, during this time there was a strong societal prohibition against single dates, meaning that Hollywood found out very quickly that if they made a movie a woman might want to see, she would drop hints until a guy asked her to go, and that would mean getting a friend to do the same. It really became a matter of selling one ticket versus selling four. With all that being said, none of these movies told young women how strong they were and how they didn’t need a man. These films were feminine but not feministic.
The consoomer is wrong, there is a world of difference between the great films of the past that might feature a female lead, or even ones that may appear to be for a primarily female audience, and the consoomer cinema of today. Alien and The Terminator might be atypical action/horror films that feature women as their main characters, but they actually do something with that, they genuinely take the time to flesh out those compelling characters, and then, more importantly, actually put them in interesting scenarios. The Star Wars sequels do not bother to do this, but still want a pat on the back for being inclusive. And, legions of consoomers are ready to defend them. The Left, as it stands now, largely exists in kneejerk defense of global corporations, and their preprogrammed embrace of the trite “girl power” trope is just one more example of this trend.

Recently, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted, “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government…From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.” For genuine Southern Nationalists and mature members within the Dissident Right sphere, this is very welcome news and should be a pleasant surprise for many. Naturally, the Democratic Party and the GOP, as well as the mainstream media, quickly pounced on the collective pearl clutching. They know, as do we, that the specter of secession will never truly disappear as long as both the South and Heritage America remains.
Utah Govenor (and fellow Republican) Spencer Cox called the idea “evil.” This should come as no surprise, considering Govenor Cox is a self-described “centrist, moderate, liberal Republican” and vetoed a bill last year that would have prohibited mentally ill men from competing with biological females in school sports. Interestingly, Govenor Cox graduated from Washington & Lee University School of Law, instead of attending Harvard Law School. If he finds secession (or political “national divorce”) evil, perhaps he should voluntarily rescind his law degree due to the university’s namesakes. Of course, former (in other words, disgraced) Representative Liz Cheney tweeted that, “Secession is unconstitutional. No member of Congress should advocate secession, Marjorie.” Secessionism was defeated on the battlefield and resulted in the death of the Confederacy, but it is (and was) not unconstitutional.
Unfortunately, even some in the Dissident Right have taken this opportunity to bash the idea and heap scorn on conservative Americans. These “hot takes” usually come from racialist urbanites that would rather complain endlessly than recognize a win before their very eyes. It also seems to us like a case of cultural sour grapes. These people should be ignored, as they are not serious dissidents or are simply too undisciplined to be effective.
This website has made the case for secession many times. The respective States have a right to sovereignty and are not wedded to a suicide pact with the national government. Additionally, should the States not secede, they will eventually be consumed by caustic Americanism. Call it Balkanization, secession, Texit, or “national divorce,” but the only remedy to return to normalcy and sanity is to break away from the declining American Empire. Failure to do so will end in calamity for our homelands and people.
From a pragmatic standpoint, calling for “national divorce” in lieu of “secession” is very productive rhetoric. The baggage, although Identity Dixie does not subscribe to the charge, tied to the term secession is minimized when it is replaced with divorce or separation. Furthermore, as a repetitive phrase, “national divorce” is much easier to articulate (and spell) than secession. This is critical because it is tied to mass influencing and engagement. The Left has embraced phrases like “Build Back Better” and “Love Not Hate” because these are easy slogans for their rank and file to repeat (despite not being able to convincingly describe). The same can be used for “national divorce,” but it is not a vague, dreamy catchphrase but an explainable expression regarding our current predicament. Plus, it provides a solution – sovereignty and a political parachute.
We recommend pushing the phrase “national divorce” and amplifying it through word of mouth and social media. Do not discard secession altogether but consider “national divorce” as another tool in your toolkit. What may work with hardcore dissidents will not with concerned and confused normies. That’s when and where “national divorce” is an excellent rhetorical instrument to advocate for a Free South (along with independence for the other American States not yet completely controlled by the Left).
We have no need for divorce counseling, let’s sign the papers.

Presently, I’m almost finished with A Walk in the Park, a must read for anyone wanting to know the real story of the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. Padraig Martin explores all the details of his experience at the rally, and it is absolutely fascinating. However, more interesting, in my opinion, is his conversion to Southern Nationalism, and more specifically his love affair with the great state of Florida, my second home. Buy and read the book for all the details.
But for myself, I was not a convert to Southern Nationalism, I was born into it. There has never been a time that my heart did not beat for Dixie, it’s the only place I’ve ever lived, the only place I will ever live. It is my hope and prayer, that my ever-expanding familial line resides within her free borders until the End of the Age, World without End, Amen!
In the South I was born, all of our heroes were Southern. The holidays we celebrated, apart from those of a Christian nature, were Southern. We had Lee/Jackson Day, Washington’s Birthday, Confederate Memorial Day (each state having a different day, respectively). We celebrated Independence Day (except Vicksburg, but that’s another story), for it was Colonial armies of the South that secured the victory over the British. They troubled the English from South Carolina to Virginia, and destroyed Cornwallis’ army in Yorktown, Virginia. The American National Anthem, I suppose it’s the one for White people since blacks have their own now, was penned off the coast of Maryland, a most definite once and future Southern state. Basically, all the patriotic fervor that Americans embrace was because of the deeds of Southern men.
Our entertainment was Southern. NASCAR and almost all its heroes were from south of the Mason-Dixon line. Television and films were Southern flavored. The Six Flags Over Georgia theme park actually had six flags, and the most beautiful was the Confederate flag. All throughout the park were Confederate themed shows and souvenirs (nobody bought that Yankee stuff). And of course, Southern football was dominant, I suppose nothing has changed in that respect.
Nothing seems to ingrain a national culture better than music, and the music that captivated the minds of Americans was Southern: country and bluegrass, rock and roll, and, of course, gospel. The popular music was all from the South – from Elvis to the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd to Dolly Parton, and Jerry Lee Lewis to Charlie Daniels; even the most beloved tune for “Amazing Grace” was written by a South Carolinian, William “Singing Billy” Walker. The unique sound of our voices and melodies influenced music all over the globe. I suppose nothing has really changed. And where those musicians played, our Southern iconography appeared with them, and it was enthusiastically cheered by the masses.
I was baptized deep in the Southern waters. Dixie was its own distinct nation for me at an early age, and from every perspective. It was just normal, like sweet tea and thunderstorms.
Now you’re saying to yourself, that’s all fine and good, but it’s all gone, and as much as I like you Father Dabney, that world, that wonderful world you were born into, is gone with the wind. You’re looking around at the anti-Southern takeover of education, Corporate America, the federal and even some state governments in Dixie as irreversible. And as my wife would tell me, “well it is with that attitude.”
Let me cheer you up just a little.
Tennessee and other states are pushing nullification bills through their legislatures, which would review the constitutionality of federal regulations and laws forced upon them. Currently, multiple states are moving through legislation that would not allow their various units of the National Guard to be deployed without a declaration of war by the U.S. Congress. Because the “Great Sort” is happening now, more socially conservative states are getting more conservative, and conversely, more socially degenerate states are spiraling in that direction. Even famous cartoonists are becoming realists in regard to racial and cultural differences. Seated members of Congress are calling for a national divorce, that’s HUGE! It pushes the accelerator to the floor, rapidly moving the Overton Window in a secessionist direction that Identity Dixie can amplify. In a few months, twelve Southern writers will be publishing a book of essays recapturing our Southern narrative for the next generation, just as I’ll Take My Stand did almost 100 years ago.
There are some really positive things going on around the United States and, more importantly, in the South. If we all get to work, it will lead to a future for your children and grandchildren to be born into that immersive and distinctively Southern Nationalist culture. So, let the waters of nationalism flow over you, be a born-again, enthusiastic evangelist for the cause of Southern sovereignty, and watch the heavens open in celebration of a new future for our people!
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

I have been afflicted of late by people discussing the Eagle verses Bear War. Something has broken under heaven, something wicked, something that prevented nearly all of us to see reality. I think it is the sun. In any case, the three greatest powers of the Earth are now, more than ever, behaving according to their assigned metaphor:
The Eagle always spies prey from afar, swooping outward from its inaccessible nest to engage the stationary powers, rarely attacking a stronger opponent and always from the advantage of heaven.
The Dragon coils, plotting, in its lair, too afflicted with maintaining its hoard, too oriented towards its den to be a consistent external threat, but rather abides, connives and every other age and again emerges in some fury.
The Bear is less prone to adventure than the Eagle, furious when provoked, prone both to seasonal gluttony and inactivity.
Currently, in pop media culture, the Bear is the madman, the bad guy, who takes every ill-advised action, does nothing for a sound reason, and is a pure sadistic aggressor.
95% of mind cattle in the Feedlot of American Souls believe this. The other 5% believe that the Bear is the good guy, and the Eagle is the bad guy, and that the Eagle is misbehaving under heaven for no good reason. But, the fact that these mythic powers are now acting openly and according to type, gives the tiny fraction of a percent of us able to consider such things the ability to see through the lie, to rend that veil and use the lies as a prism to discern what is not real.
This polarity rests upon our insane, cartoon image of a Good-Bad polarity, with one side of a war all-good and the other all-bad. This also relies upon our belief that all war is all-bad, that it is a mistake and ruins everything.
The Bear was born in war against the Mongol Hordes, breaking from an age of bondage.
The Eagle was born in war, breaking from Britannic bondage.
Both of these earthly powers are the titanic children of war.
These two powers have become first and distant second of their kind through defeating the very same pint-sized enemies in 1945, one Аrуаn, one Asian.
It is impossible for us to see that conflict between the great powers might serve them both and instead ruin the minor proxy powers at the center of the various fronts in the conflict:
-Military
-Energy
-Agricultural
-Political
How can we be so brain washed?
I note that the few news broadcasts I see and hear have dramatic movie music, [0] are slickly produced and focus exclusively on a single enemy, Doctor Evil. This person is supposed to be, according to fantasy:
a unilateral dictator,
acting against the interests of his henchmen,
and is insane.
But in reality:
he is not a dictator but the front man for a criminal oligarchy.
under his rule, the life expectancy and the economic well-being of his people have gone up, while drug addiction has gone down.
he, like his enemies – the criminal oligarchy opposed to him, is acting rationally to a scrupulous degree.
The nation state is the child of war. Ancient nations were brought into being by tribal wars.
The modern nation state was specifically the child of the Thirty Years’ War, with a birth date of 1648 at the Peace of Westphalia delivery room.
Where does this idea that war does not serve the state come from?
In one sense, the fantastical idea that the state serves the citizen, who is in fact a subject of the state, sets the stage for the delusion that war does not serve the state. For war sucks for the subject called into combat.
However, the belief that every war has an evil bad guy and a sterling good guy, has a recent pedigree. Of old, war was “the sport of kings.” Now, wars are morality dramas. Modern audio-visual media, specifically the arts of consumer advertising and of movie making, created the trust and the narrative construct necessary for almost every American to look at reality and see fantasy, specifically a prefabricated fantasy sold to them by advertising and entertainment productions.
The American is unable to look at the situation the Bear finds himself in and say: “Oh, if the Bear had backed a coup in Canada, and the new Canadian government was executing American resident aliens and was joining a nuclear alliance against us, we’d invade Canada.”
The inability to see reality, in the American mind, began with the beginning of American history: 1941, a date that shall live in infamy.
Even though the Eagle was attacked by the Rising Sun, we believe that that entire war, a war which most of the major combatant nations thirsted for, and diligently prepared for, was caused by one man, one maniac, one madman!
This narrative has been reflected in movies, television and comic books since American pre-history, being the 1930s. Before 1941, everything was myth. After 1941, everything was good versus evil.
The classic Western, whether the bad guy was a gun slinger, cattle baron, bandit chief or Indian chief, or Custer in Little Big Man, always worked to satisfy his own mania and ego, and always did so at the expense of his henchmen, always. The bad guy also always loses — always, the bad guy can never win.
That narrative, that the bad guy always loses, and the good guy always wins, agrees with American history, in which America was always the good guy and always won, that is, in anything called a war. [2] Where war was clothed in the sheep skin of the police action and victory was a secondary aim to preventing the victory of the proxy bad guy over our proxy good guy, a big bad guy was not generated by the media machine.
However, when the nation decided that it would crush a small nation, that leader was always made into a proxy bad guy of cartoonish evil, even though, in most cases, that leader had been an American stooge: Panama, Libya, Iraq.
Think about comic book bad guys and their reflections in television and movies. Note how the bad guy has armies of henchmen who he never cares about at all, and who come to a bad end before he does. The Batman franchise is perfect here.
Side-by-side with comic good guy/bad guy narrative fiction were two other major forms in which the bad guy is totally evil.
The Western, the iconic movie myth machine always features a bad guy who loses to a good guy who is either an outsider fighting someone else’s fight for them, or he is a reluctant hero who may not settle down in the place he liberates from evil. The Western was the perfect narrative vehicle for conditioning the most able American men – rural men – to accept the idea that they would give up their freedoms and liberties, and be sent across the world battling evil, for another people unable to protect themselves. The U.S. Navy adopted this “Force for Good” narrative as their flagship recruitment phrase for the postmodern period.
The James Bond franchise, composed by a man who worked in a Western intelligence service, [1] always had a totally unredeemable bad guy of cartoon proportions, whose beautiful henchwomen and burly henchmen served against their own self-interest and found a bad end in his service. Despite being a super genius, the Bond bad guy always loses.
These 70 yearlong narrative franchises, and the trust built by audio-visual advertising deception, set the stage for our current NewsLaw regime. Interestingly, police were bad guys in movies until 1941; and after 1945, police are only bad when they work against the heroic police officer. Police dramas have been the dominant television narrative form, delivering the same messages as Westerns and superhero comics, that when government operatives act as bad guys, it is a temporary aberration or a mistake, and good government is internally restored. [3]
The professor dispensing fantastical reports and opinions that are opposite of reality, is believed by almost all, and the tiny minority believe an equally false inversion of the lie offered as dark gospel. The professor of NewsLaw may be a doctor, an actor, a news caster, or any kind of “expert” on the subject at hand.
For my money, the clearest indication that we are being comprehensively mislead, is that your racist, tobacco-chewing, gun-loving, conservative uncle from North Carolina, who “greased Hajis in The Stan,” agrees with your lesbian, rug-munching, fascist-hating, progressive cousin from Manhattan who hugs retards at the Special Olympics that some leader on the other side of the world is a “Madman,” who must be stopped.
The people that rule us are so much more intelligent than we are, that we deserve our lie-based bondage, just as the lamb deserves to be curried.
Notes-0. News sound tracks for war remind me of Star Wars.
-1. Ironically, Ian Flemming and George Orwell, both British espionage operatives, placed the same message in their very different fiction. In Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, the distant Asian War always distracted the hate filled news herd, while James Bond opposed a global menace, a specter that haunted the Free World.
-2. The dictum that the winner writes the history is supported as a deep psychological conditioning by all of our major narrative constructs.
-3. Modern super soldier franchises, [4] all police TV dramas, and more jingoistic fare such as the Jack Ryan and Top Gun franchises support this notion of government agencies internally policing towards eventual perfection.
-4. The more cynical Bourne and Reacher franchises still posit, and indeed hinge upon, internal government policing of patently unrealistic levels, with entire corrupt agencies correcting to a just operation in what amounts to a week of narrative frame.

The days of the Boomer Life are officially over. Our generations won’t be able to buy a house at 19 while raising a family of four on one income straight out of high school. That much is known. What is not known is how bad it will get.
Which is why it would be wise to begin living under your means as much as possible, starting now.
I was fascinated when I read a recent headline about the amount of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, and had to look into the story much deeper. There are a lot of journo articles on this topic, but the actual underlying study that they all link to can be found here.
I had initially assumed the study was some political ploy, but it seems genuine. They’ve been tracking this metric faithfully each month. Give it a look over. The results are astounding:
9.3 Million More U.S. Consumers Ended 2022 Living Paycheck to Paycheck Than in 2021
Today’s Paycheck-to-Paycheck Landscape
Sixty-four percent [64%] of U.S. consumers (166 million) were living paycheck to paycheck in December 2022, up 3 percentage points from 61% the year prior, with the most growth seen in higher income brackets. In fact, 9.3 million more consumers are now living paycheck to paycheck, and eight million, or 86%, of those consumers earn more than $100,000 annually.
In December 2022, 51% of consumers earning more than $100,000 annually said they lived paycheck to paycheck, up 9 percentage points from 42% in December 2021. In contrast, the shares of middle-income consumers (those earning between $50,000 and $100,000 annually) and low-income consumers (those earning less than $50,000 annually) have remained relatively constant over the same period — sitting at 66% and 78%, respectively, as of December 2022.
The data also finds that an increasing number of consumers earning more than $100,000 are living paycheck to paycheck with difficulty paying their monthly bills. In December 2022, 16% of these high-income paycheck-to-paycheck consumers struggled to pay their monthly bills, up from 11% in December 2021.
“The effects of inflation are eating into every American’s wallet and as the Fed’s efforts to curb inflation drive up the cost of debt, we are seeing near record numbers of Americans living paycheck to paycheck,” said Anuj Nayar, financial health officer at LendingClub. “While the number of Americans living paycheck to paycheck is close to the height we saw in the middle of the pandemic, the causes appear to be very different, as the economy is not sheltering in place like it was back in 2020.”
You read that right: 64% of American consumers, 166 million people, are currently living paycheck to paycheck.
Even more shocking: Given the American consumers earning more than $100,000, over half of them (51%) are also paycheck to paycheck(!).
I realize a dollar does not take you nearly as far as it used to, but it is mind-boggling that over half of the people earning this much—or more—are paycheck to paycheck.
$100k, after the massive taxes, payroll costs, and insurances that are mandated today is not a lot of money. Especially depending on where you live. But it’s not a small amount, either.
It likely goes to show that many Americans are desperately trying to keep up with the Joneses and living above their means.
The other piece of the study seems to collaborate that assumption:
If many Americans in the middle and low income range are not paycheck to paycheck, far fewer in the >$100k should be.
Now is not the time for excess. Now is the time to live under your means, to brace for whatever is coming.
I have already had to do this to adjust my salary for inflation, but it is good to do even if you have the capabilities to spend more.
Stop buying so much. Repair instead of replace, if at all possible. Cut out unnecessary major and minor expenses. Save on energy (turn down heat, reduce water heater temp and amount of heated water usage, et cetera). So on and so forth down the line of your budget.
If you have extra money, it should go to savings, tangible goods that could be helpful in the future, self-sufficiency, improving health, or long-lasting useful goods.
Do what you can, even if it is a little. Don’t get stuck cutting out essentials later because you refused to cut out the extras now.

I’ve spent some time in the Psalms the last two weeks, they are my respite from a world that seems completely out of control. In them are the expressions of every human emotion – faith, hope, love, anger, hate, and despair unimaginable, and all set to music. How wonderful that Jehovah knew His creations would find solace in song, and inspired an entire discology for their comfort.
One of my favorites is Psalm 40, and it has brought me through many moments of anxiety. The first verse reads, “I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.” The band U2 has very good version of this put in modern song.
Life is full of ups and downs, sometimes you are euphoric, flying high. I remember one such gathering of fellow travelers, we were eating and drinking, singing songs, building lifelong fraternal friendships, and then it ended. We are still fellow travelers, our purposes have expanded, our focus has cleared, and we are pursuing different avenues to the same end, a Free Dixie. These times rarely last very long, because the work is hard, there are differences in vision, strategy, and tactics. However, these gatherings are good and necessary, they give Southern loyalists a sense of hope in community as we face those in opposition.
Just like King David, the writer of many psalms, we are encompassed about by many enemies, and they come in many forms. They never sleep nor slumber, and sometimes they have temporary victories over us, but our hope is in the Lord, just as David expresses throughout the Psalms. Psalms 23, an often-quoted shepherds psalm contains verse 4:
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
Now, when you’re going through some of these times, it is very human to forget, doubt, or reject this hope given, but it is still given, and we must remember and trust in ultimate victory.
When victory is not yet a realization, and tragedy comes, one of the most human of emotions is revenge, to illicit a curse upon one’s enemies. In modern Christianity this is considered taboo, for Jesus said to love our enemies, do good to those that despitefully use us, etc. Yet they forget, in doing so, you are heaping coals of fire upon their head, but I digress. The Psalms are full of imprecatory psalms, curses, although not on your enemies, but the enemies of God in relation to His children. And you should pray them, with righteous intentions.
Psalms 69 is one such psalm, and it is rich in emotion, and I encourage you to read it over and over. Here’s an summation of its contents.
The psalmist is overwhelmed in anguish, as if a flood is coming over him, we’ve all been there. His throat is parched, his eyes are dry in his crying before God without answer. His enemies are vast, but he also realizes that he has been foolish, and acknowledges his part in this current calamity. Sometimes our circumstances are somewhat of our own making, Yet, he does not want the righteous to be pulled into his troubles, and that is sign of his own humility. He understands the slander of the wicked, the reproach of the godless, and though he longs for it, there is no one to comfort him. If you’ve been involved in dissident politics, you’ve been there many times. But then he realizes that there is a greater force in his corner, an Almighty God that brings calamities to the enemies of the righteous, and when that vengeance comes, there is no escape for the godless. That is the moment his heart , his voice, goes from despair and vengeance, to hope and praise.
Southern man, one engaged in fighting for a sovereign homeland for our people, a nation where sanity will reign again, do not lose heart. Your Heavenly Father hears your cries, knows your enemies, but more importantly he sees His enemies. As we build institutions and infrastructure while this wicked empire collapses, He is working all things for His good, and ours. Remember, as the hymn recalls:
This is my Fathers World
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems
Oft to strong
God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Fathers world:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns: let earth be glad.Maltbie D. Babcock
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has written several books on the world of investing and the economy in general based on his years of experience as manager of the world’s largest hedge fund. In the latest of his ‘Principles’ series, Dalio applies his quantitative approach of macro investing to analyzing countries, seeking to identify the factors that lead to strength such as education and work ethic, as well as lagging indicators such as a reserve currency that allow a country to spend beyond its means but ultimately presage a fall from dominance. Notably, Dalio sees China’s rise to the top of global power as likely, with America, while ahead, slowly declining. Tonight, we debate the merits of his analysis, as well as the overall validity of a global macroeconomic approach that overlooks key factors such as demographics in forecasting long term power status.

Former South Carolina Governor Nimarata (Nikki) Haley has announced she is running for president in 2024, becoming the second Republican to officially enter the race and the first one who will attempt to bring the Party’s rank and file back in line after the Trump era. Don Lemon aside, she has received mostly positive attention, both from the Establishment Right but also the Establishment Left. She should also be a fundraising machine. Unless she makes major mistakes, she should be a formidable candidate, even if I do not think she is likely to win the nomination.
Long before she announced, I suspected she would run. There is nothing the GOP Establishment wants more than to push a button and make Trump disappear; they want to go back to the days when they could easily convince their base that mass immigration and free trade deals are really in their best interests. They want to reanimate the corpse of “Zombie Reagan” one more time, convincing themselves and their followers that a doubling down on Reaganism is all that is needed to bring back the landslide victories of the 1980s, ignoring the massive demographic changes forced upon the United States that Reagan is at least partially responsible for. And, they see Haley as the best person to do it.
But undoing what Trump did is not going to be easy. The average right-leaning normie now knows what is happening to the country, and the GOP never thought this was a possibility. Nikki Haley, by virtue of being Trump’s former Ambassador to the United Nations, is the best candidate to fill the particular niche needed here – essentially, more warmed-over Reagan, but close enough to Trump to keep the rank and file in line. Thus, contrasting her between a candidate that would be an explicit rejection of Trumpism (I suspect former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan will fill this position), Trump himself, a candidate symbolling Trump without the dumb fights (Florida Governor Ron DeSantis probably here) and a candidate promising to be “More Trump Than Trump” (look for Ann Coulter to take this spot). Nikki Haley’s campaign is the Party’s last attempt to bring back Reaganism in its most pure form. There is literally no chance of Hogan winning the nomination, but he would represent a pre-Reagan GOP. Trump would, of course, mean more Trump, warts and all. DeSantis would represent the populist fury that propelled Trump to the White House, but now without the pointless fights. An Ann Coulter nomination would me a purified populist revolt, though she would likely run into the same discipline problems that plagued Trump. A Nikki Haley presidency, or even nomination, would, at least in the short term, mean more heliography of Ronald Wilson Reagan.
But to Southerners, Nikki Haley’s run for the presidency should bring up another feeling – anger. Anger at an almost decade long, intense campaign of cultural genocide against the South. Nikki Haley was governor of South Carolina the day a drug addled loon decided murdering a bunch of black people at church was more important that actually doing something to improve himself and help his people, giving the Left the pretext they needed to launch that campaign. That is important, because Nikki Haley helped bring that campaign to fruition.
As soon as I heard a White guy shot up a black church in the “Cradle of the Confederacy,” I thought the Left would use this as an excuse to go after Dixie. They had been doing that for years with varying degrees of success. Still, initially it looked as if there would be another gun-control focused debate, but then several pictures came out of Dylann Roof holding a Confederate flag. It was at this time that the Confederate flag flying over the South Carolina statehouse started gaining attention, with protesters demanding it be taken down. This is important, because I remember them saying this is all they wanted, arguing that because the statehouse was a public place, the Confederate flag should not be flown over it, and that the Left was not going to target the flag in other places. I have no idea to what extent Nikki Haley trusted the Left and if she did, she is at best utterly naïve. However, as soon as she relented and took the flag down, there was blood in the water and the current genocidal campaign against our culture began.
There were many factors that went into how the Left was able to use Dylann Roof to destroy as much Southern history as they did; a media and a school system that has taught young Southerners to despise their own nation for decades stands out in my mind as two looming reasons. And while I never thought that the Left was sincere when they said all they wanted was the Confederate flag removed from the statehouse, I never would have thought they would have gone as far as they did. If you told me in 2015 that within a few years Dixie Beer would be no more and Flannery O’Connor’s name would be removed from a school building, I just flat out wouldn’t have believed you. But none of that changes the central role Nikki Haley played in launching the 4th Reconstruction. This is the most severe crisis that Dixie has faced since 1865, and Southerners cannot forget the woman that helped open up those floodgates.
With Haley in the race, it is almost guaranteed that the Confederate flag will come up during the primaries, especially if DeSantis runs, as the media will no doubt love casting the race between the woman who took the Confederate flag down and the man who signed the best monument protection bill in the country. It will be interesting to see how this plays out – if DeSantis is running ahead of Haley in Dixie, I can see Haley trying to save face by claiming that all she agreed to was removing the Confederate flag from the statehouse, and everything that has transpired since, including the demonization of Southern icons that have nothing to do with the Confederacy, was not part of the agreement. Doing so wouldn’t make me vote for her – she would still be the woman who helped launch the 4th Reconstruction and her foreign and trade policies would remain terrible – but it would finally address the elephant in the room: the Right gave the Left an inch and they took a mile. This is not just an issue regarding the Confederate flag, but almost everything else that has transpired over the last decade or so. Remember the phrase: “All we want to do is get married and leave you alone”?
And that is why, though I will not vote for her, I am glad Nikki Haley is running. Her campaign will bring up memories to Southerners of the losses we have taken since 2015, and how dishonest the Left has been. Nikki Haley does not need to be president, and not just because of the Confederate flag – I don’t want war with Russia either, but her presence does mean the Confederate flag is an issue. Southerners will be reminded of the utter betrayal they have suffered under Con, Inc. Southerners will be reminded of how quickly “let’s take the Confederate flag down from the statehouse” became “destroy everything that has something to do with Dixie.” In the long term, that helps build a greater sense of a uniquely and specifically Southern form of national identity, and that is what we need.

The rightwing, authoritarian aesthetic moggs the other three quadrants of the political spectrum. The starving communist, the man-child libertarian, and the twink socialist all fear the ordered aesthetics and beauty inherent in our causes. You are the ambassador of our cause, so why don’t you represent it?
To mog is to have an appearance which belittles comparison. Your physical ability to mog is to step into a room and make others look small. I’ve seen more arguments won by the “bigger man” in the room, not necessarily because he was correct but because his presence carried a weight, which the other side could not, literally and figuratively, withstand.
Our Confederate progenitors wooed Southern belles and embarrassed their Yankee inferiors at every turn. Their battlefield tactics, dashing uniforms, and genteel (and gentile) demeanors made them beloved and respected for generations. Conversely, your Marvel t-shirt, and inability to see your toes past your gut, do nothing but tell people you aren’t able to master yourself.
Attractive people are more likely to succeed in life, and in more ways than one. Attractiveness is not limited to physical beauty, but is a combination of factors, such as confidence, posture and hygiene. What can be done to improve your disheveled self? Start by dressing better, correcting your posture, and engaging in basic hygiene.
The basics are easy when trying to turn around your appearance. Get eight hours of sleep, stop consuming corn syrup, stand straighter, and dress better. Stop wearing hoodies in public. Wearing a hoodie is reverse peacocking, hiding your face from the world and directing feelings of cowardice and suspicion towards those who perceive you. Project confidence by wearing clothing that isn’t baggy, getting a haircut that fits your skull, and walking around like you aren’t afraid of the people in the grocery store. Lift some weights, and for heaven’s sake, shower afterwards.
Your self-confidence is key, not just in finding a mate. Stacys are a dime a dozen nowadays and impressing them isn’t as important as being able to sell an idea or ideology in this day and age. You’re never going to convince an acquaintance that you’re right about an issue, or that Marvel fandom is a gay religion, if you look like a child molester or a neck beard. Wear clothing that makes it look like you understand social norms, smile as if you’re not spilling spaghetti out of your pockets, and stand straight as if you haven’t been hunched over gaming for the past ten years.
You may get by with speaking on a podcast, or just writing on a blog, as I have, and being a manlet of subpar intelligence and feeble body, but at the end of the day, the people you reach out to on a platform such as this are already won over. The real battles are won on the streets, when the people grasp your intellectual and physical superiority, and thereby authority, at a passing glance. This is why the bullies start off with the legacies of winners in any stories we tell, at least until some contrived Hollywood plot knocks them down a peg.

For a long time, I have called antifa “Marxists.” There is no doubt that their inferior station – dysgenic, intellectual inferiority, emotional imbalance, etc. – drives them to seek imposed equal outcomes versus equal opportunities. They simply cannot compete, thus they band together to compel a reduction in standards such that they no longer need to compete. That is what genuinely drives them. But are they truly Marxists? They are not. I was wrong.
The fact is, the entirety of antifa actually works for globalist interests. They are the foot soldiers for capitalist institutions. Black bloc tactics are de facto supported, financially and legally, by both the U.S. government and corporations. At first, one may ask “why” corporations would support groups that advocate some element of Marxism. After all, Marxism, when given the opportunity, eventually consumes and destroys private institutions. There are two reasons.
First, corporations and governments strongly believe they can control contagions. Marxism is no exception. Thus, they believe they can give enough Marxism to the people that it will satisfy the masses, while simultaneously depriving the most virulent voices on the Left who seek further revolution. This is why the government has coopted the antifa. It is largely to give them a voice, move to the Left, and say to the broader population, “See, we did something.” What governments do not understand is that doing so will not be enough in the 21st Century. The fire cannot be contained with platitudes.
Second, capitalism and Marxism are two sides of the same coin – literally. They are economic ideologies predicated on ideals that reduce everything to a transactional exchange versus more complex interactions that weak minded individuals cannot comprehend, like national identity, culture, and faith. As such, corporations need some element of protectionism and consumerism to co-exist. The freer an economy, the greater the threat from an upstart small business or new technology. The antifa fills the role as the guardians of the status quo by ensuring enough protectionist sentiment remains in the public space while simultaneously punishing those who attempt to depart the consumer driven reservation – such as nationalists or advocates of a parallel economy.
The antifa are, therefore, better described as status quo guardians. They work for globalist interests. They work for big money corporations. They work for a U.S. government that relies on such corporations.
This is why they do not protest wars. They do not assault exploitative corporations. They do not protest for the preservation of American labor. They assault those who seek to preserve a national identity and separate from empty consumerism. They attack those who are actively walking away from modernity.
In this regard, they are the system.
The post Are the Antifa “Marxists”? appeared first on Identity Dixie.
In an article of mine from last year, I said:
One of the most interesting things about living under modernity is the complete obscurity and uncertainty about nearly everything that is happening.
The economy is a great example of this effect.
We have had so many drastic, massive shifts in the economy as of late. Things that most reasonable people would have assumed would have caused certain consequences given our general understanding of an economy. But often these shifts just created even more odd, uncertain things that also made little sense.
[…]
A rational person would, given these conditions, assume that something was going on. But you look around to the average American public and barely see any worry, except some slight anger over the increased price of gas.
Meanwhile, I would have assumed the opposite. It would make sense to me if we were enduring much more serious financial problems by now. By this point, I’m still not sure what we are running on. Where the average American is surprised about higher gas prices, I’m surprised we’re not currently undergoing a great depression.
[…]
These are a few out of many. I’m sure most readers could probably add another handful of contradictory economic elements with little thought. The takeaway is that no one really knows what is happening. The general laws and expectations we had for an economy don’t seem to exist anymore. I believe this is by design, as people like William Casey desired.
Many people have been attempting to predict economic movement based on a libertarian, free-market economy. This is silly because we do not have that kind of market.
But others try to rationally review our debt-based monetary system through the correct lens of debt and the Fed, but even that isn’t lining up.
In short, nothing is happening that should be happening if we think about the situation logically. Housing, supply chains, the stock market, jobs, the American dollar, inflation… you name it. None of it makes sense.
We can’t even follow historical trends fully, because historical trends rested under different market precepts than what we have now.
This is why when people try to predict or explain what is going to happen in the market rationally, they get it wrong. Because the market is not rational. But it’s also not just sporadic, either. It is now fundamentally irrational.
A potential precursor to WW3 breaks out and the stock market continues to go up. The money printers are going faster than ever before, and our dollar is stronger comparatively to other currencies. International sanctions are placed on Russia and the region that is actually harmed is Europe. Everything has reopened from Covid lockdowns and supply lines are getting worse, not better. Major inflation is happening, but spending is higher than ever before. The list goes on and on. Nothing makes sense.
Our entire economic system is falsified and manipulated. It is not free nor centrally planned. It is a hodgepodge of numerous competing, contradictory, and irrational actors.
We know the Fed is akin to one arm of central planning, that money laundering is occurring, that politicians are averting stock market laws, that big banks are scheming, that powerful international organizations are involved in our internal affairs, and that many crises are completely manufactured. None of these are rational. Something greater is going on.
It may be helpful to relate the market to a person. The market is not a rational person at a chess table that realizes what is going on and is acting strategically, giving us the ability to predict or expect certain moves. No, our “market man” is the complete opposite. He is a schizo hopped up on bath salts and fentanyl – we have no idea what he is going to do, but we know with almost crystal clarity that it will not be rational.
Some of our guys keep trying to rationally explain the workings of the market. This is in vain.
Our markets are not rational, and they cannot be made rational given our current conditions.
How long can the riggers play pretend and keep everything propped up? No one knows. No one knows how long they want to keep up the appearances, either.
We know that our economic system cannot sustain like this, but no one knows when the ball drops. Except perhaps the riggers themselves.
But even that is not guaranteed.

Civilization is dependent upon class and cannot exist without it. I mean this quite literally; as to have a functioning civilization, a society must have classes and distinctions between them. This is how anthropologists have traditionally defined civilization, as emerging when classes materialize. And to this end, it must be understood that civilizations need different classes, and the distinctions between them must not only thrive, but also survive. I am decidedly not a leftist, and as such, I reject the notion that some classes, most notably the “oppressed” lower classes, are somehow more pure and holy by virtue of their oppression, as well as subscribe to the idea that if they were only put in charge, the world would become a utopia. Such thought is ahistorical and goes against both observation and reason for its maddening simplicity. Rejecting Marxist class war, I favor the nationalist understanding of class cooperation, by which each class works together in a system of checks and balances for the good of the nation; additionally, each class is willing to give up a little for the benefit of a stronger civilization.
One of the worst misfortunes that can befall a civilization is to become completely dominated by one class. As I stated before, I reject the leftist notion of a “pure” lower class. The way I see it, each class, just like each person, has their own virtues and vices. Thus, the efficient strategy is to create a system of controls where each class’s virtues can be maximized, and their respective vices can be minimized. But when one class completely controls a civilization, that system of checks and balances breaks down, and the vices of the dominate class destroys the civilization. An example of this can be observed in China, where the civilization was taken over by its bureaucracy. The Chinese bureaucracy had many virtues. They were loyal, deeply patriotic, and effective administrators. The fact that a nation as large as China has been able to exist as a coherent project can be placed at the feet of the bureaucracy. But they also had vices – they were unimaginative, tended to avoid cultivating a “fighting spirit,” and could not adapt to technological change. As a great example: the Chinese invented gunpower, but then proceeded to make fireworks rather than weapons. However, eventually, a different bureaucratic-dominated society, one that embraced imagination, had cultivated a fighting spirit thanks to centuries of warfare, and was willing to embrace technological change, especially as it related to the military, would arrive. Afterwards, China would fall to this civilization and enter the “Century of Humiliation.”
Something similar would happen to Indian civilization. While China was dominated by its bureaucratic class, India was ruled by its priestly class, cultivating an excessive reliance on otherworldly concerns at the expense of the practical, and one that also could not develop a martial spirit like the Western and Islamic civilizations. The priestly class simply viewed fighting as beneath them. And as a result, India would fall to invaders, first to the Islamic world and then later to the West (specifically, the British) – both civilizations that had worked to cultivate warrior traditions. Although not to the same extent, Islamic civilization, with the dominance of its warrior class, and Orthodox civilization, with the control of its landed class, also suffered through this class disparity. Once again, the vices of each class went unchecked.
One of the greatest advantages the West had is that it was able to avoid dominance by one particular class, and as such, the vices of a particular class could never destroy its society writ large. A system of checks and balances worked to prevent this, allowing the West to thrive. That was traditionally the case; however, ever since the Second World War, and even more so since the 1960s, the West has increasingly fallen under the control of one of its classes. The class that dominates the West today is historically known as the merchant class, but I feel that this term is a misnomer. The term “business class,” or perhaps even better the “corporate class,” does a finer job at capturing the dominate class of the modern West. Healthy societies need a merchant class, but this has typically meant small businessmen, people rooted in their community. But over the best several decades, the merchant class has been replaced by the corporate class, and while they serve some of the same functions that the merchant class provided (products for sale), the new corporate class is no longer connected to their community. In turn, this has amplified the vices of this class.
Much of what has befallen the West over the past several decades can be explained by the dominance of the corporate class. A class rooted in its society would never hand out dangerous drugs like they were candy and falsely claim that they were “non-habit forming” – these were your neighbors, people you went to church with, and people you went to school with, it is very hard to cause harm to these people. But when the class becomes disconnected from its societal responsibilities, it becomes much easier to engage in unethical or immoral behaviors, these are now just random customers. This is a reason why Indian doctors were used to bring the opioid epidemic to rural Whites, they had no connection to those communities. And let us face facts, far too often doctors are now salesmen for pharmaceutical companies and have functionally become part of the corporate class. Shutting down a factory that is the very lifeblood of a small town and moving it to Mexico is hard to do when you have to see the devastation that these actions cause. It becomes trouble-free when all the destruction is reduced to numbers on a spreadsheet. Promoting mass immigration that reduces the native population to a minority in their own land is usually difficult for those rooted in their community. It becomes far easier when all it means is cheap landscaping and “authentic” tacos.
What caused this shift? Although the West was very good at avoiding being dominated by one class, there was one exception – Yankeedom. Originating in the rocky soil and cold winters of New England, it was very challenging for them to develop a traditional landed class, as was the case in the rest of the West. To make matters worse, its religious leaders placed a greater emphasis on political reform than the Kingdom Come, which greatly reduced the importance of the priestly class in the long-term. Yankeedom thus emerged as a society controlled by its merchant class, a class that would soon become disconnected from its own society and develop into a corporate class. For a period, a number of factors were able to restrain this tendency – 1) the United States was not the hegemon over the West until after World War II, 2) the Yankees had to contend with the power of Dixie and her landed class, which was able to form an effective counterweight until the ending of home rule in 1965, and 3) the disruptions caused by the Great Depression provided the working class, especially the ethnic White working class, a far greater social and cultural pull than they historically had. But, eventually these restraints were removed. The U.S. became a global superpower. Southern home rule was broken and one of the greatest bulwarks against Yankee dominance was removed. The disruptions of the Great Depression receded, reducing the power of the working class while the Yankees (not to mention Jewish power) used ethnic cleansing tactics to break up ethnic White neighborhoods – using blacks to run them out – thus, breaking their power. And with that, the West became dominated by its corporate class, and now all of its vices – greed, shortsightedness, lack of loyalty, etc. – are on full display.
Civilization requires classes. The idea of a “classless civilization” is not only a pipedream, but also an oxymoron. As with people, classes have their own virtues and vices. The trick is to craft a system of checks and balances that reduces the vices of each class. When one class gains complete command over a civilization, its vices will destroy that civilization. This occurred in both China and India, major factors that lead to the “Century of Humiliation” and the British Raj, respectively. We can also observe this same process playing out in the West. The traditional merchant class has become disembodied from any sense of societal restraint and has become, more properly termed, the corporate class, and its vices are destroying our homelands.

Reconcile: verb – 1st definition: restore friendly relations between; cause to coexist in harmony. Reconciliation: noun –1st definition: the restoration of friendly relations.
For years, many beautiful Confederate monuments and sculptures have come under attack and been dismantled and possibly even destroyed. The one presently in the WOKE culture’s cross-hairs is a monument erected in our “national cemetery” – otherwise known as the purloined property of General Robert Edward Lee – Arlington, Virginia. That monument is known by the title Reconciliation and is found within the Jackson Circle in the cemetery. A booklet on the matter was published in 1914 by the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Arlington Confederate Monument Association under the auspices of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The opening statement of the work’s preface made clear what message the monument was intended to convey:
When one considers what it is and what it stands for, there is no object in or near Washington City better worth a visit and a careful study than the Confederate Monument in the National Cemetery at Arlington… In its origin and in itself this memorial is entirely without a parallel in history. Its story has been here carefully told, and every effort has been made in the narrative to do justice to all the organizations that have co-operated patriotically in the production of the monument. For its full significance the writer relies much on the carefully prepared address of President Taft, welcoming the U. D. C. in 1912 to the National Capital… and that of President Wilson…
It is interesting to note that President Taft, who welcomed the U.D.C. in 1912 to the “National Capital” and President Wilson who later responded to the presentation of the memorial in 1914 were members of the two political parties, Taft, a Republican, and Wilson, a Democrat. Later in the booklet, mention is made of the feelings that brought about the monument’s creation under the heading “Reconciliation in America”:
Within a single generation we in America have been able as among ourselves, “To reap the harvest of perpetual peace,” by this our bloody trial of sharp war. After our war, passion and prejudice also, but only for a time, ran riot. In 1867 the seceding States were subjected to the horrors of Congressional Reconstruction, but in a few years American manhood had triumphed; Anglo-Saxon civilization had been saved; local self-government under the Constitution had been restored; ex-Confederates were serving the National Government, and (were) true patriots. North and South, were addressing themselves to the noble task of restoring fraternal feeling between the sections.
Within a generation after Congressional Reconstruction, American historians condemned it, as unqualifiedly as Carlyle, after a lapse of 175 years, did the treatment of Cromwell’s memory. James Ford Rhodes has denominated Congressional Reconstruction as “a crime against civilization,” and public opinion seems to have approved the verdict. *Many causes had conduced to (help bring about) the fraternal relations that existed between the North and South when the war came on with Spain in 1898 — the exchange of visits between Union and Confederate organizations, the erection in 1895 of a Confederate monument in Chicago, the writings and speeches of broad-minded historians, editors, orators and statesmen, but more fundamental than all else had been two factors: One, the memory of the once much misunderstood Abraham Lincoln and his policies; the other, the Federal Constitution.
*This paragraph is a reference to what became known as the “Grand Bargain,” an unwritten policy created in an effort to end the ongoing hostility between the sections that came into being during this period and remained pretty much intact until the rise of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s. This quasi-official but unstated narrative meant that the North agreed that the South had fought valiantly – if wrongly! – and that their heroes, symbols, monuments etc. were worthy of respect and even veneration. Meanwhile, the South was expected to glorify the war waged by the North as lawful and worthy of respect and that the defeat of the Confederacy was, in the end, the best possible outcome. As noted, this “bargain” ceased to exist with the rise of the Civil Rights Movement and many historians with an understanding of what actually did happen during the conflict and in the ante and post bellum periods acknowledge that the South did all the “compromising” given what had actually taken place.
The booklet claimed that the people of the South, having seen “the restoration of home-rule” were “flocking to defend the flag of the Union in the war with Spain.” There was then a great deal more regarding the claim that Southerners were once again Americans and therefore, “(T)he enthusiasm of the South for the flag in the war with Spain electrified the North when that war was over,” going on to claim:
President McKinley, who had himself been a gallant Union soldier, made a speech at Atlanta, December 21, 1898, that touched the heart of the South as it never had been touched before. In it he said:
“Sectional lines no longer mar the map of the United States, sectional feeling no longer holds back the love we bear each other. Fraternity is the National anthem, sung by a chorus of 45 States and our Territories at home and beyond the seas. The Union is once more the common altar of our love and loyalty, our devotion and sacrifice. The old flag once again waves over us in peace with new glories which your sons and ours have this year added to its “sacred folds… And the time has now come, in the evolution of public sentiment and feeling under the Providence of God, when in the spirit of fraternity we should share with you in the care of the graves of Confederate soldiers.”
This thought was like a seed sown in rich, warm soil; it took root at once; then came the plant and its growth, and now we have, in this monument, the full flower, already fruiting into a generous harvest of fraternal feeling. On the same trip South at Macon, Georgia, an enthusiastic Southerner insisted on pinning a Confederate badge on the lapel of Mr. McKinley’s coat. The President smilingly wore it.
This booklet is a very interesting – if dated! – look at the mood of the country that brought about the monument now being considered for destruction and indeed, there can be no doubt that to destroy a monument based upon the very concept of “reconciliation” will go very far indeed to damage and/or destroy the concept itself. It would seem that America is “back peddling” not just to the time of Reconstruction – and a worse word cannot be considered for the evils visited upon helpless Southern men, women and children by their “Northern brethren” – but to the period that led to that sanguine struggle in the first place!
The first Confederate Memorial Day ceremonies were held in Arlington’s “Confederate section” on June 7th, 1903. Then President Theodore Roosevelt sent a floral arrangement establishing a tradition that was continued by every United States President until 2009 when President Barak Obama sent one arrangement to the Confederate Memorial and another to Washington D.C.’s African-American Civil War Memorial honoring United States black troops that fought in that war on the side of the Union. Though no one could claim that action as inappropriate, it did sound a warning that indicated that matters would not continue as they had from the time of the erection of the reconciliation monument including the continuation of the feelings that brought it into existence in the first place.
The monument was unveiled in 1914 having been designed by noted American sculptor Moses Jacob Ezekiel, a Confederate veteran and the first Jewish graduate of the Virginia Military Institute. It is noted not only for its beauty but for the honor paid to the men who fought and died for the same freedoms for which their ancestors had fought and died in the Revolutionary War, almost a century earlier. But just as the time between the Revolution and the War of Secession – a more accurate definition of the most sanguine of America’s many wars! – changed many things in the entity that had become known as the “United” (capital “U”) States of America, even greater changes have taken place between 1914 and 2023. Indeed, so great are the changes that have occurred during that time, it is probable that the people who attended the monument’s dedication would not recognize – or understand! – what exists today. The question that must be asked, therefore, is what does exist today? An adjunct of that question must also be, what did exist in the past? What was cancelled or “forgotten” by the Grand Bargain that has returned to bring about what we now can understand as cultural genocide not just of the history of the South, but of the history of the nation itself and what do we need to do to change or overcome the direction in which we are going as a culture and a nation – if indeed, that is even possible. And, finally, the most important question is this: do we want “reconciliation” on the basis of the narrative that produced it in the first place?
So, let us take a hard look at what our nation’s above noted “reconciliation” was based upon; that is, what was the meaning of the Grand Bargain as noted earlier and the price paid by those who embraced it. In the end, it is fairly simple: the North acknowledged the heroism and worthiness of the South in its valiant (if misguided!) efforts at independence, an acknowledgement that permitted the symbols, heroes and history of that section to be viewed with acceptance and even reverence. Hence there could be Confederate flags and monuments and heroes and celebrations that could not be viewed as any kind of an “attack on” or “criticism of” the “restored Union.”
For the South, there must be acknowledgement of the legitimacy of the war itself along with the noble behavior of the forces of the Union in carrying out that war together with the consignment of everything that happened before, during and after the conflict to oblivion – with the exception of the acknowledgement that the outcome had been “the best for all concerned.” Seems simple enough under the circumstances – simple, but oh, so very wrong! Why wrong? Because what the North acknowledged was only the truth – with the exception of the belief that the South did not have the constitutional right to leave the Union – while that which the South had to acknowledge was pure fiction from beginning to end!
Let us look at what the South had to accept as truth in order to maintain the Grand Bargain:
Much of this evil was either severely under reported or excused with the claim that the South had started the war by firing on the federal facility at Fort Sumter. However, Sumter was not ceded to the federal government; it had reverted to South Carolina! Only Fort Moultrie, a land-locked base used to collect tariffs, belonged to Washington. Sumter had been invaded and invested by Major Anderson and his troops on Christmas Eve, 1860 in violation of an agreement between then President Buchanan and the State of South Carolina. So even the excuse for the conflict was a lie and known to be such from the beginning. This was soon revealed to have been a plan by the newly elected Lincoln administration to provide an excuse for preventing the formation of the Confederate States of America. Letters by Lincoln to others involved in the strategy make the matter beyond any claim to the contrary.
The horrors committed by federal forces including the intentional murder of Confederate prisoners of war must be considered the greatest of the evils of the war that were silenced by the Grand Bargain. The proof of this ongoing and intentional desecration of what were considered “Christian” standards of behavior were well known at the time. In fact, even during the war, famous federal soldiers openly spoke out on the matter. Robert Gould Shaw, the commander of the famous black regiment honored in the film Glory, was commanded by a superior officer to burn Darien, Georgia. Shaw later wrote to his wife: “…for myself, I have gone through the war so far without dishonor, and I do not like to degenerate into a plunderer and robber—and the same applies to every officer in my regiment.” Union hero, Joshua Chamberlain, wrote to his sister on December 14th, 1864, after having burned the homes of women and children near Petersburg, Virginia at Grant’s order: “I am willing to fight men in arms, but not babes in arms.” Union General Don Carlos Buell actually resigned in protest, writing: “I believe that the policy and means with which the war was being prosecuted were discreditable to the nation and a stain on civilization.” Even Northern newspapers commented upon such atrocities. One New York paper, referring to Sherman’s “capture” and deportation of 400 young women with their children from Rosewell, Georgia cried:
“…it is hardly conceivable that an officer bearing a United States commission of Major General should have so far forgotten the commonest dictates of decency and humanity . . . as to drive four hundred penniless girls hundreds of miles away from their homes and friends to seek their livelihood amid strange and hostile people. We repeat our earnest hope that further information may redeem the name of General Sherman and our own from this frightful disgrace.”
(Parenthetically, it did not.)
Many of the women reported by the newspaper were raped by their soldier captors during their journey to Marietta after which they and their children were imprisoned, starved, mistreated and then sent North without subsistence. Many were “hired out” as servants to Northern citizens by their captors which doubtless amused those who saw the matter as retribution for black slavery. Of course, these women never owned slaves. Not one of these poor unfortunates ever returned home after the war, a matter that the Grand Bargain chose to ignore.
Then there are the crimes committed against Southern prisoners of war. In 1903, Adj. Gen. F. C. Ainsworth estimated that more than 30,000 Union and 26,000 Confederates died in captivity (that is 12% died in the North and 15.5% died in the South). However, the numbers and the death rate of Confederate prisoners were vastly understated first, because many captives died without their deaths being recorded and secondly, the winners did not wish to admit to the hideous rate with which those at their mercy perished. Indeed, Rhodes admitted that there should have been a much greater disparity — even using his own numbers — in favor of survival for those imprisoned in the North, given the superior conditions existing that included physicians, hospitals, medicines, food, supplies and housing. But the simple fact is this: from the beginning of the war, the federal government intended to “make treason odious” by punishing captured Confederate soldiers as traitors and rebels rather than legitimate prisoners of war.
Even the usually chivalrous George McClellan forced Confederate prisoners to clear mine fields after some of his men were killed despite the fact that such usage of prisoners was expressly forbidden by the Lieber Code in paragraph 75. Sherman added his own perverse twist to this practice when he used civilians as well as prisoners for this purpose. Prisoners were routinely tortured, mutilated and killed in, among other places, Jackson, Tennessee and several members of the town’s clergy were arrested and threatened with like treatment until General Nathan Bedford Forrest promised to execute five federal officers in retaliation; knowing that Forrest would be as good as his word, the ministers were released. Isn’t it odd how Forrest has come down to us as a monster and a villain?
Confederate officers were used as human shields in the famous instance of the Immortal 600 and the morality rate from torture, starvation, exposure and disease in Federal prison camps is astonishing to all who have studied the matter. Elmira prison in New York had a 24% death rate, higher than any other prison on either side including the infamous Andersonville. Col. Robert Ould, who had been in charge of exchanges since the beginning of the war, wrote about the situation in Andersonville to his Union counterpart Gen. Mulford. Ould recites the efforts made by the Confederate government to succor the federal prisoners even after prisoner exchange had ended:
“My government instructs me to waive all formalities and what it considers some of the equities in this matter of exchange. I need not try to conceal from you that we cannot feed and provide for the prisoners in our hands. We cannot half feed or clothe them. You have closed our ports till we cannot get medical stores for them. You will not send us quinine and other needed medicines, even for their exclusive use. They are suffering greatly and the mortality is excessive. I tell you all this plainly, and still you refuse to exchange. What does your government demand? Name your own conditions and I will show you my authority to accept them. You are silent! Great God!, can it be that your people are monsters? If you will not exchange, I will give you your men for nothing. I will deliver ten thousand Union prisoners at Wilmington any day that you will receive them. I will deliver five thousand here on the same terms. Come and get them. If your government is so damnably dishonest to want them for nothing, you shall have them. You can at least feed them and we cannot. You can give us what you please in return for them.”
Was there a war crime at Andersonville? Yes! Upon the cessation of exchange, the Confederate government asked for medicine for the exclusive use of the imprisoned federal soldiers and were ignored! The anguish, frustration and bitterness of Ould are voiced in the sentence: “Great God! can it be that your people are monsters?!” The answer to that was, “yes!” Their own men were considered expendable in this campaign of genocide. Edward Wellington Boate was a soldier in the 42nd New York Infantry and a prisoner at Andersonville in 1864. He wrote of his experiences in the New York Times shortly after the war and commented on whom he held responsible for Andersonville’s legacy:
“You rulers who make the charge that the rebels intentionally killed off our men, when I can honestly swear they were doing everything in their power to sustain us, do not lay this flattering unction to your souls. You abandoned your brave men in the hour of their cruelest need. They fought for the Union and you reached no hand out to save the old faithful, loyal and devoted servants of the country. You may try to shift the blame from your own shoulders, but posterity will saddle the responsibility where it justly belongs.”
When the worst of the Andersonville prisoners were returned to the North without exchange, these poor animated skeletons were taken, photographed and used to generate hatred in the North for the evil, wicked, brutal people of the South. Shortly after the photographs were released, the United States Senate passed the following:
PREAMBLE TO HOUSE RESOLUTION #97 Also known as the Retaliatory Orders
“Rebel prisoners in our hands are to be subjected to a treatment finding its parallels only in the conduct of savage tribes and resulting in the death of multitudes by the slow but designed process of starvation and by mortal diseases occasioned by insufficient and unhealthy food and wanton exposure of their persons to the inclemency of the weather.” … passed by both houses, January 1865.
Of course, this very policy had been ongoing in most of the federal prisoner of war camps since the beginning of the war. The Andersonville photographs merely gave an excuse for a policy of long standing. And so it goes with virtually every “argument” used to validate the actions by the “Union” government against the states and people of the South. Furthermore, none of these matters – even when they were presented! – addressed the unlawful and unconstitutional mistreatment of the South that had been ongoing for many long years before the first shot was ever fired.
But the villainies committed by the federal armies were known well after the war itself both during the time of the Grand Bargain and afterwards as we can see here:
This excerpt from the German-language magazine “Signal” from WW2 illustrates a concern that American “Yankee” troops in Europe might imitate the habits of the legendary war criminal Sherman. It is ironic though that the German Midwesterners of Sherman’s locusts were reportedly responsible for the worst of his pacification techniques. Nonetheless, Europeans viewed Sherman and his war crimes with horror though Spain sent General Valeriano Weyler to Cuba in 1896 to brutally subdue the native freedom fighters – Weyler as a young officer had been military attache’ at the US Spanish legation during the War Between the States and served as an observer during Sherman’s march through Georgia, absorbing his tactics and the bummers daily routines. He knew quite well how to apply the same “war is hell” antidote to the Cuban independence movement. Sherman’s own communications with General Grant were both well known and well proliferated:
“Our method of warfare is different from that in Europe. We are not fighting against enemy armies but against an enemy people; both young and old, rich and poor must feel the iron hand of war in the same way as the organized armies. In this respect my march through Georgia was a wonderful success.” – General Sherman to General Grant, End of January, 1865
And as for Sherman himself, a 45-year old man from Ohio, the son of a lawyer of Puritan descent, he had reinstituted a very old type of warfare directed against the civilian population as had been waged by the Mongols and the Vikings and the Vandals who had slaughtered their way across the world before the rising of Western Civilization with its Christian foundations. Indeed, in the person of Sherman can be seen the spectre of wickedness that eventually embraced not only that general and his armies, but his very cause, a spectre that is coming to full fruition in these perhaps last days of the nation he sought to succor. In the Civil War, Sherman practiced “locust strategy.” His doctrine was: Where I have been the war has ceased because all forms of life no longer exist. It is a strategy involving the murder of innocents and the suppression of humane welfare. The cruelties of the Marquis de Sade and the atrocities perpetrated by Jack the Ripper have never led to such mass “strategies.” Sherman’s strategy however, has been acclaimed as classical. After carrying out his acts of cruelty as a general, Sherman was appointed commander in chief of the Army of the United States of America and his method has become the ideal. It first infected the Anglo-Saxon world; the great von Moltke ominously predicted at the end of the century that in future wars, armies would not fight against one another but peoples.
But Sherman’s strategy is the art of war employed by the unsuccessful. And it is necessary to bear this in mind when considering Sherman’s methods. He was unsuccessful in any type of acceptable war of the day, but he was by no means untalented. It was his fate always to fight against enemies better than himself. He never won a success against an enemy of equal strength but when he began his mission of civilian destruction, he became wildly successful. Of course, his fight was in what became known as the War of Secession, “secession” being the term the ancient Romans used to call any effort to achieve independence. Superficially, the war was being fought on the question of the abolition of slavery but temperament and religious fanaticism converted it into one of the bloodiest massacres in history. In his book Der Krieg ohne Gnade (War Without Quarter), the Swiss historian Bircher says that force of arms alone could not decide that war. It was not until Sherman employed his locust strategy that the Northern states won the victory.
Of course, such strategic military “success” does not end with one war and Sherman, as general-in-chief of the army, had much to do with post-war campaigns against the American Indians. Sherman wrote in 1866, “It is one of those irreconcilable conflicts that will end only in one way, one or the other must be exterminated…” And again, “We must act with vindictive earnestness against the Sioux, even to the extermination of men, women and children.” With perfect moral appropriateness, Sherman became Sheridan’s superior, and his biographer Michael Fellman wrote: “Although Sherman had not ordered an extermination campaign in so many words, he had given Sheridan prior authorization to slaughter as many women and children as well as men (that) Sheridan or his subordinates felt was necessary when they attacked Indian villages. However many they killed, Sherman would cover the political and media front. They were freed to do anything. At the same time, Sherman maintained personal deniability – he could assert in any public forum that he had not ordered any atrocities that might occur.”
Prof. Harry Stout of Yale University Divinity School recently acknowledged, “Sherman’s religion was America, and America’s God was a jealous God of law and order, such as all those who resisted were reprobates who deserved death.” This can be seen in his following statement:
“To the petulant and persistent secessionists, why death is mercy, and the quicker he or she is disposed of the better. Satan and the rebellious saints of Heaven were allowed a continuous existence in hell merely to swell their punishment. To such as would rebel against a Government so mild and just as ours was in peace, a punishment equal would not be unjustified.”
Below are the first two paragraphs of a letter written by Gen. Sherman to Major Sawyer dated January 31, 1864, in which Sherman writes from Vicksburg to the AAG Army of the Tenn., Huntsville, Alabama. Major Sawyer was with Sherman until the close of the war, by which time he had achieved the rank of Colonel. Now, we must remember that all of General Sherman’s “opinions” and the acts that resulted from them were well known before the Grand Bargain and never refuted or rejected by the Government of the United States! To accept the Grand Bargain is to accept General William Sherman, warts and all:
Dear Sawyer,
In my former letters I have answered all your questions save one, and that relates to the treatment of inhabitants known or suspected to be hostile or “Secesh.” This is in truth the most difficult business of our Army as it advances & occupies the Southern Country. It is almost impossible to lay down Rules and I invariably leave this whole subject to the local commander, but am willing to give them the benefit of my acquired Knowledge and experience.
In Europe whence we derive our principles of war Wars are between Kings or Rulers through hired Armies and not between Peoples. These remain as it were neutral and sell their produce to whatever Army is in possession. Napoleon when at War with Prussia, Austria and Russia bought forage & provisions of the Inhabitants and consequently had an interest to protect the farms and factories which ministered to his wants. In lake manner the Allied Armies in France could buy of the French Habitants, whatever they needed, the produce of the soil or manufactures of the Country. Therefore the General Rule was & is that War is confined to the Armies engaged, and should not visit the houses of families or private interests. But in other examples a different Rule obtained the Sanction of Historical Authority. I will only instance one when in the reign of William and Mary the English Army occupied Ireland then in a state of revolt. The inhabitants were actually driven into foreign lands and were dispossessed of their property and a new population introduced. To this day a large part of the North of Ireland is held by the descendants of the Scotch emigrants sent thereby by Williams order & an Act of Parliament.
The War which now prevails in our land is essentially a war of Races. The Southern People entered into a clear Compact of Government with us of the North, but still maintained through State organizations a species of separate existence with separate interests, history and prejudices. These latter became stronger and stronger till at last they have led to war, and have developed the fruits of the bitterest kind. We of the North are beyond all question right in our cause but we are not bound to ignore the fact that the people of the South have prejudices which form a part of their nature, and which they cannon throw off without an effort of reason, or by the slower process of natural change. The question then arises Should we treat as absolute enemies all in the South who differ from us in opinion or prejudice, kill or banish them, or should we give them time to think and gradually change their conduct, so as to conform to the new order of things which is slowly & gradually creeping into their country?**
“The Government of the United States has in North Alabama any and all rights which they choose to enforce in war – to take their lives, their homes, their lands, their everything, because they cannot deny that war does exist there, and war is simply power unrestrained by constitution or compact.” (Or, it would seem Christian decency and civilized behavior.)
Writing to his wife in 1862, Sherman said, “We are in our enemy’s country, and I act accordingly… the war will soon assume a turn to extermination not of soldiers alone, that is the least part of the trouble, but the people.”
And now let us look at the real motive for the so-called Civil War. It certainly wasn’t slavery for the North offered the original 13th (Corwin) Amendment that placed that institution into the Constitution in perpetuity. If slavery had been the problem, the Cotton States could easily have returned with the knowledge that their “peculiar institution” had eternal protection within that document. Even the tariffs were a symptom of the disease but not the disease itself! In fact, this is the most difficult part of this treatise to write because it clearly supposes two things: first, our efforts to save what remains of our Confederate heritage is not just bloody impossible, but intrinsically wrong! That is, that any effort to save the Arlington monument or any other remaining work glorifying truly heroic men and women from America’s past becomes an acceptance of the reconciliation created by the Grand Bargain and is therefore unworthy of our efforts because it is founded on the lies heretofore revealed.
On the other hand, given the situation as it presently exists – a situation that is only going to get worse! – it is not possible that these efforts can or will be crowned with success. Indeed, the present situation is merely the final result of what Sherman wrote about years earlier, that is ,“the new order of things which is slowly & gradually creeping into their country…” as what little is left today of what is good and decent is clearly doomed in a world under the power of its acknowledged Prince, Lucifer. For the “civil war” was first and foremost a religious war. All of the other matters whether slavery or tariffs or sectional disputes and hatreds arose from two very different understandings not only of government, but of God Himself; that is, the “ultimate cause” of the war was two mutually exclusive understandings of human government. The South embraced the view of Aristotle and Locke: that is, that government was a natural outgrowth of communal man’s inter-relationship and that being the case, was at its most efficient and least threatening when limited and local. This nation was more or less founded on that principle albeit, there were its detractors.
The other view of government embraced by such men as Hamilton, Franklin and Adams and most of New England, was that of Thomas Hobbes. Unlike Aristotle and Locke who believed that man was communal and that government was a natural part of his being, Hobbes believed that man was basically solitary, a creature without ties to any of his kind and that therefore government was imposed upon him rather than being a natural outcome of communal development. Hobbes also believed that man was incapable of self-government and without government imposing the “common good,” the result would be anarchy. This worldview mitigates against limited government because government has to be powerful enough to keep this mass of self-interested and amoral individuals in their place and directed (that is, forced) to do what was good for “the masses.” Of course, what was good for the masses was also what was good for the government. Hobbes and his followers believed that because civilization was only possible through government coercion, therefore “bigger was better” and that there could be no limits to the power of government imposed by it upon those whom it ruled. Lincoln was a Hobbesian. He fought for “the Union” as a hedge against anarchy, something he greatly feared. Indeed, the entire concept of an “indivisible union” is of Hobbes, not Aristotle and Locke for they believed that when a people’s culture became too diverse, the natural progression was for them to break apart and establish governments suited to each culture. This “dissolution” or “secession” when one or more cultural groups removed themselves from an existing union, did not usually end in war. War became the reality when the natural secession that should have occurred was unnaturally thwarted.
But there was even more with regard to these two mutually exclusive mindsets as was reported by author Murray Rothbard in his essay “Just War:”
“The North’s driving force, the ‘Yankees’—that ethnocultural group who either lived in New England or migrated from there to upstate New York, northern and eastern Ohio, northern Indiana, and northern Illinois—had been swept by… a fanatical and emotional neo-Puritanism driven by a fervent ‘postmillennialism’ which held that as a precondition of the Second Advent of Jesus Christ, man must set up a thousand-year-Kingdom of God on Earth. The Kingdom is to be a perfect society. In order to be perfect, of course, this Kingdom must be free of sin… If you didn’t stamp out sin by force you yourself would not be saved. This is why the Northern war against slavery partook of a fanatical millennialist fervor, of a cheerful willingness to uproot institutions, to commit mayhem and mass murder, to plunder and loot and destroy, all in the name of high moral principle. They were ‘humanitarians with the guillotine, the Jacobins, the Bolsheviks of their era.’”
By the middle of the 19th Century, Yankee philosophy had swept through most of the rest of the country with the exception of the South. Thus, as the majority of the states were rushing towards an American future defined by the values of New England, they found themselves continually stymied and frustrated by a people whom they considered profligate, sinful and slothful, that is, Southerners. Every issue that arose within the country found itself determined on the basis of two incompatible religious worldviews. The crux of the matter was eloquently summed up in a sermon of Pastor B. M. Palmer one week before his state (Louisiana) seceded from the Union:
“Last of all… we defend the cause of God and religion. The abolition spirit… erected its throne upon the guillotine in the days of Robespierre… Among a people so… religious as the American, a disguise must be worn… the… old threadbare disguise of the advocacy of human rights… To the South the high position is assigned of defending… the cause of all religion and of all truth… We are resisting the power which wars against… the family, the State and the Church;… and rebukes the Most High for the errors of his administration;… if it cannot snatch the reign of empire from His grasp, will lay the universe in ruins at His feet.”
The atrocities committed against the people of the South, military and civilian, men and women, white and black, slave and free, young and old, well and ill, sound and wounded were on such a vast scale that they cannot be comprehended. There are books on the subject such as Dr. Brian Cisco’s War Crimes Against Southern Civilians, but there are also writings that strongly maintain that, in effect, the South had it coming. Given that the people of the South only wished to leave the Union without violence and not, as has been claimed, destroy the government of the United States! – and that the institution of slavery was not unique to the region, neither was the South involved in the slave trade — that was a Yankee enterprise — it would seem that such horrific treatment of a people whom Lincoln declared to be Americans, citizens of his sacred Union is inexplicable. But holy wars are vicious. The enemy is not a man or a woman or a child or a neighbor or a brother—but an apostate, a blasphemer, an infidel—and as such, is worthy of no less than death—and even annihilation! That is why Lincoln, his government and his military waged bloody jihad from April of 1861 to April of 1865. Had the war gone on longer, the people of the South might well have been reduced to the conditions of the Cheyenne, the Apache and the Lakota Sioux. Certainly, Generals Sherman and Sheridan and their leader Abraham Lincoln would have shed no tears for their plight for when the problems within a nation are based upon two completely incompatible views of God and man and man’s interaction with God, there can be no basis for compromise. One side must prevail and the victory of the North in the Civil War is only now coming into full fruition in our current society.
Finally, as noted, today we are coming to a slow conclusion to the war memorialized in the monuments we have been trying to preserve and defend despite the relatively short lull occasioned by the well-meaning but intellectual and spiritual deceptions of the Grand Bargain. As he did in the conflict that lasted from 1861 to 1865, the Lord of this World has prevailed. Christianity and Western civilization and the race that took man from the cave to the stars are under attack and marked for extinction. Even mankind’s dabbling in paganism, begun in the 1970s with the relatively benign nonsense of the New Age Movement has now been transformed into open satanic worship throughout the cultures of the world. This horrific path was foreshadowed by author Keven Swanson in his book, Apostate: The Men Who Destroyed the Christian West. What began long before the Civil War – probably long before the events that led to the founding of this country! – that is, the events written about by Swanson, were already well along toward their eventual end:
Man turns within himself, seeking to fill the “God-shaped” vacuum. However he is always disappointed with the results. In the end, he is more hopeless and suicidal than the pagan who still seeks some kind of god outside of himself. Thus pure, undiluted humanism cannot last for long. Either societies must awaken to the true faith or sink into the chaos of paganism. After five or six generations of apostasy, humanist societies turn to deconstructed language, pluralism, relativism, polytheism, and competing truth systems.
And thus today we find ourselves in a culture that embraces every evil and wages war against every good. Those who want only to “preserve” the past – or rather, the “good” of the past may be able to do so for a short time but even so, they will only prevail during that time by accepting the lies and deceptions of the Grand Bargain that permitted the very things we are now trying to save! Do we honor men like Lee and Davis and Jackson and Forrest by accepting falsehood as a means of keeping monuments of marble and bronze when what is actually worth saving are the characters and morals of those heroes? Perhaps we should pay attention to the words of one of those great men, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson, a great soldier, a great man and a great Christian when he spoke about the war in which he found himself:
“Colonel Stuart, if I had my way we would show no quarter to the enemy. No more than the redskins showed your troopers. The black flag, sir. If the North triumphs, it is not alone the destruction of our property. It is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity… the loss of free and responsible government. It is the triumph of commerce. The banks, factories… We should meet the invader on the verge of just defense… and raise the black flag. No quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides. Our political leadership is too timid to face the reality of this coming war. They should look to the Bible. It is full of such wars. Only the black flag will bring the North to its senses and rapidly end the war.”
General Jackson was absolutely correct. I don’t know if his instructions had been followed if the War of Secession could have been won but certainly we would never have attempted to revive “fraternal relations” with the enemies not just of the South, but of both God and man. Indeed, we have learned in this, the third decade of the 21st century that you cannot “reconcile” the forces of good with the forces of evil. We know that God wins in the end, but it is up to us to continue that “war” until He comes with the final victory. Trying to achieve “reconciliation” in order to save monuments is to make of those monuments, memorials to a lie.

Southern Nationalism is heavily tied with Christianity, which should be a surprise to no one. Dixie is the home of the Bible Belt, and Southern states feature prominently on any map illustrating the preponderance of Christianity in these United States. The good folks at Identity Dixie don’t need any help reaching out to this audience, they know our people and our culture well. What I’d like to do is write an open letter to another segment of the South: the non-believers. Those folks who may agree with a pro-White position, but shy away from Southern Nationalism for whatever reason. Why?
Because I am one of you.
Whatever spiritual belief you hold, you obviously have respect for your heritage and for the land your ancestors are buried in. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here reading this. You’ve probably asked yourself: “What can I do to make a change?” There is a great deal of information still out there on the internet, albeit heavily censored. You’ve read this material and came to the conclusion that something must be done, that we can’t sit around trading memes on the internet forever. Now, you must decide where to turn, what organization or outlet to place your trust in.
Since you’re like me, Southern Nationalist organizations probably weren’t your first choice. They seem like they are only for hardcore Christians, that you wouldn’t be welcomed. I’m here to tell you, this is wrong! I got “redpilled” at a fairly young age but would only become active later on. After a couple years of figuring things out, I decided to join the League of the South. I was, and am, a Southern man. I wanted to be a part of something greater than myself, to interact with people who were doing things and not simply talking about it. Although it was a Christian-oriented organization, being a Christian wasn’t a requirement for membership. Still, I wasn’t totally sure what my experience would be.
Nothing could have prepared me for the events that transpired. There’s so much more to being a Southern Nationalist than the rallies and flag waving. There were good moments and bad, victories and setbacks. I came close to having to live in a hotel, although thankfully it didn’t come to that. Through it all, I stood shoulder-to-shoulder with good men and women, people who believe in the Bible, people who pray to the Christian God. I wasn’t like them, yet, we were of the same blood, the same heartbeat. I’ve met a variety of people over the years while involved in “the movement,” and I can definitively say that Southern Nationalists are among the most well-rounded, honorable, and decent people I’ve ever met. One may even say they are the most “normal,” if that term can be applied to dissidents.
Now in 2023, the Southern Nationalist movement is going in a new direction. The League has survived lawfare which destroyed others, bloodied but unbowed. I was glad to see the videos of the League National Conference, including a speech by Identity Dixie writer Padraig Martin. There are even more exciting collaborations in the works. We, as a movement, are maturing and “circling the wagons” (so to speak). There is no need for a thousand little pet projects or splinter groups. We are stronger together, and I believe these coming years will demonstrate that. We will only succeed as a united Southern Front.
If you are a loyal Southerner, there is no longer a need to waste time searching. Do you want to be an activist? Join the League of the South! Want to be a writer? Look no further than Identity Dixie! Can’t do either? Donate! Set aside a portion of your monthly income to support the Southern Cause. Spread the word whenever and however you can. Even if you can’t be on the ground, there’s something you can do. This should be all of our attitudes.
Your family needs you!

“In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”
Desiderius Erasmus
After beating Covid-19, attention is shifting toward the next public health epidemic—the mental health crisis. Read any mainstream newspaper, and you’ll inevitably come across articles talking about high suicide rates, depression, increased anxiety levels, etc. Much of this mental distress, so evident now, can be attributed to pandemic policies, and the social unrest they caused. Before the 2020 pandemic, public health officials were aware of the harm lockdowns might cause, but they were enforced regardless. This carelessness should be a warning sign for what’s to come, as we approach this new outbreak of mental disorders. The future remains to be seen, but the pandemic and its consequences might offer us a glimpse into what lies ahead.
During the pandemic, our elites laid the foundation for a new form of political control—swarm governance. Benjamin Bratton, who has done his best at articulating this idea, argues in his book, Revenge of the Real, that governance is the ability of a society to become aware of problems as they occur, and to produce models that might offer solutions. Societal awareness of problems requires a “sensing layer” — ubiquitous technologies and institutions that function like nerves within the body-politic. During the pandemic, testing and tracing were the societal nerves that helped us detect Covid, that were used to help ‘stop the spread’. These methods of detection enabled us to sense what was occurring on both a granular and holistic level.
Do we have a sensing layer that can produce models of one’s mind, which can detect mental health problems as they occur in real-time? The government already utilizes predictive policing — the utilization of computer systems to analyze large sets of data, including historical crime data, to decide where to deploy police, and to help identify individuals likely to commit a crime. What other techniques might be used to predict human behavior in the future?
Smart technologies offer tech companies a plentitude of data, which can then be used to create psychological profiles of our mental states. In Daniel Barron’s book, Reading Our Minds: The Rise of Big Data Psychiatry, he discusses the way in which machine intelligence can benefit clinical analysis. In one study, for example, it was found “that relative to self-reported measures of suicide risk, Google search data was better at estimating the number of completed suicide deaths over a two-year period.”
Can algorithms forecast an individual’s emotional baseline by mining social media for health data? The answer is yes. According to another study, published in the British Medical Journal, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania looked at over 400 million tweets from users in Pennsylvania. Within this sample of tweets, it was discovered that “nearly 26,000 users (with 46 million tweets) had at least one post with the word lonely or alone.” The twitter-users who posted about loneliness, it was found, “had an extremely high association with anger, depression, and anxiety, when compared to the non-lonely group.”
Will we ever arrive at a point where syndromic surveillance automates away psychiatry? Does our behavioral exhaust, or data, say more about our minds than our own words? Before answering this, it’s important to define what mental illness is exactly. The introduction of psychopharmacological drugs in the 60’s, and the maturation of the brain sciences, led many to the conclusion that most problems of living can be attributed to physicochemical processes. The assumption is often made, nowadays, that mentally ill patients have a neurological defect with an identifiable basis in the brain. Is this true?
What is Mental Illness?“Mental illness”, as Thomas szasz once said, “is not literally a ‘thing’—or physical object—and hence it can ‘exist’ only in the same sort of way in which other theoretical concepts exist.” In other words, mental illnesses are useful heuristics, theories of human behavior, that are conflated with diagnosable physical diseases. This is done, as J.D. Haltigan writes, to “accommodate grant-making bodies, journal reviewers and editors, and to guide treatment and eligibility for insurance reimbursement.”
Interestingly, a detailed analysis of the 5 key chapters in the DSM-5 on schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and trauma-related disorders concluded that diagnostic labels are “scientifically meaningless.” Diagnostic categories are so broad, with so many symptoms, that basically any behavior can be pathologized in some shape or form. In another study, it was calculated that in the DSM-5, “there are 270 million combinations of symptoms that would meet the criteria for both PTSD and major depressive disorder, and when five other commonly made diagnoses are seen alongside these two, this figure rises to one quintillion symptom combinations – more than the number of stars in the Milky Way.”
It should be pointed out that, until 1980—nearly 140 years after the creation of the APA, and 28 years after the first DSM was published—there was no formal definition for what constitutes a mental disorder. Today, the DSM-5 defines a mental disorder as a “syndrome characterized by clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior that reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or development processes underlying mental functioning.” Notice that the DSM locates mental disorders as a phenomenon that occurs within “an individual ”, thereby dispelling the notion that disorders are a product of one’s environment, or harmful medical interventions.
Dr. Bruce Alexander’s Rat Park experiment illustrates that addiction, for example, is environmental in origin. It isn’t a disease, per se, but a choice—one that is shaped by our settings. In Bruce’s experiment, rats were placed in a cage, all alone, with no other community of rats, and offered two water bottles—one filled with water and the other with heroin or cocaine—the rats would repetitively drink from the drug-laced bottles until they overdosed and died. Bruce wondered whether the setting or the drug itself were to blame for the rat’s addictive behavior, so he set up “rat parks,” where rats were free to roam and play, to socialize, and have sex. Fascinatingly, the free rats had access to the same drug-laced water but never chose to drink it. They had freedom, intimacy, and social connection — three things that make life fulfilling, all of which are lacking in today’s modern world. Addiction is a lonely disease. Opioid use disorder, for example, is “associated with feelings of social isolation, an increased risk of suicide and, at the community level, lower social capital.”
These studies show that the privatization of stress distracts from the real causes of our internal pains. Raising more awareness of mental health, and potential treatments, will do little to fix the crisis. If that were the case, we’d be seeing mental disorders being treated, but with each day that passes, more-and-more people are being diagnosed with mental illnesses. Looking at the evidence, it’s clear that mental health problems are on the rise. As one study puts it, “despite dramatic increases in the treatment of some mental disorders, there has been no decrease in the prevalence of most mental disorders since accurate record keeping began.”
How is a physical disease different from a psychosomatic one? Degenerative eye diseases, like Retinitis Pigmentosa, can be detected through a comprehensive dilated eye exam. The disease literally exists in one’s body, can be objectively observed, and is oftentimes genetically inherited. A person’s beliefs about his/herself, by contrast, cannot be explained except through language and culture. Mental disorders like Schizophrenia may cross cultural boundaries, some may argue that it even has a genetic basis. Still, evidence for its objective existence is inconclusive. For example, with schizophrenia, one-third of patients will make a complete recovery. In fact, there is no consensus for what constitutes schizophrenua. In 2008, a group of researchers launched a study designed to identify and critically assess all “facts” about schizophrenia. 77 candidate facts were identified. Each fact was graded on a 0-3 scale of reproducibility, relevant to understanding the disease, and its durability. What was the result? Some facts turned out to be more robust than others, but none got full marks. Even the most robust individual facts pointed in a range of different directions; they did not lead to a logically coherent explanation of schizophrenia.
A mental illness is caught by word of mouth. A psychiatrist arrives at a diagnosis based on his knowledge of the patient’s emotional baseline, or how they normally behave. This emotional baseline is identified through clinical sessions with the patient, where he/she provides a personal account of their past, and social interactions. When the patient presents new evidence to suggest he or she is behaving abnormally, the psychiatrist arrives at a conclusion for what the cause of the patient’s dysfunction is.
Identifying mental disorders throughout this process requires that the “natural functioning of mental mechanisms be known before claims of dysfunction are made.” The problem with identifying disorders is that we don’t understand what constitutes ‘normal functioning of our mental mechanisms’. Our personal accounts will always be fallible, since our autobiographical memory is subject to distortion. Furthermore, Modern science seems to suggest that people are notoriously inconsistent reporters about their own mental health history. When a diagnosis is contingent upon the patient’s reports of his/her past, the real causes of our dysfunction can get lost in translation, as we try to explain ourselves to the clinician.
The boundaries drawn between normal and dysfunctional behavior are basically arbitrary. Whether you have a mental disorder or not, ultimately depends on whichever psychiatrist you decide to see. They will all have a different opinion as to why you are dysfunctional. In one study, created to test diagnostic reliability, a group of clinicians viewed nearly 600 prospective patients. The objective of the study was to determine whether clinicians who saw the same client would agree on which diagnosis, if any, was appropriate. One would expect the diagnostic agreement would be considerably lower in a normal setting, without the added benefit of having a research team that trains and supervises the clinicians. As Herb Kuchin’s writes, however, “the kappa values (the statistical measures of reliability) were not that different from those statistics achieved in the 50’s and 60’s—and in some cases were worse.” In other words, it’s really one man’s word against another. Psychiatrists can’t distinguish illness from everyday behavior since symptoms like anxiety, for example, are distributed normally across the population.
When we visit a therapist, or psychiatrist, oftentimes we are unconsciously striving for recognition, and legitimization of our internal distress. We don’t understand what is causing our problems, so we want a professional to give us an objective explanation as to why we are in pain. Usually, though, feelings of sadness, or depressive episodes, stem from temporary events within one’s life, like the death of a family member or a job loss. As a corollary to this, the recovery rate for mental illnesses is around 65%.
Diagnostic categories aren’t arrived at through scientific research, so much as they are shaped by political changes and economic forces. For example, in the 1970’s, the APA voted homosexuality out of the DSM. This resolution wasn’t arrived at because of new research. Rather, it was a response to political pressure from homosexual activists within the organization itself. The psychiatric industry is also a business dominated by Big Pharma, who control the knowledge pipeline via ghostwriting scientific papers, funding randomized control studies, rewarding academics that publish favorable studies, etc. Consensus building is hard enough in the natural science’s (due to a replication crisis, an antiquated peer-review process, and a publish-or-perish mentality). What we’ve seen with evidence-based medicine is that negative trials are repressed, journal editors are bribed, outcomes are rigged, etc. All of these things affect treatment plans for patients that are diagnosed with a mental illness by a psychiatrist.
As the opinions of doctors for what constitutes a “real” disease change over time due to theory, practice, and cultural shifts—like the ones mentioned above—the symptoms that patients present will change too. The codification of certain disorders have, interestingly, oftentimes led to the sudden appearance of symptoms within the general population. This is what happened with anorexia nervosa in the 18th century, as it evolved from hysteria into the condition we now know today. In the 1850s self-starvation was a rare symptom of hysteria, but by the end of the century—when anorexia entered the popular consciousness—the medical literature was littered with references to full-blown anorexics.
Covid-19 and the Future of Swarm GovernanceNow, instead of doctors, it is the media-industrial-complex that shapes oursymptom pools — our culture’s collective memory for how to behave when ill. One need only think back to 2020 to see why this was, and is, the case. During the pandemic, China and western governments deployed fear campaigns to drive consent for draconian policies, like vaccine mandates and lockdowns. The health hysteria we saw during 2020 bordered on insanity — it was a form of what Robbert Mallone called “mass-formation psychosis.” As a result of these campaigns, playgrounds were taped up and shut down; still-sick patients were tossed out of hospital beds and sent back to nursing homes; states imposed Covid-curfews; the elderly were put on medical ventilators; schools were shutdown; and small-businesses were forced to close.
Covid-19 wasn’t just a pandemic — it created a social contagion that ate away at the social fabric. Evidently, many disorders, including depressive symptoms, disordered eating, and aggression, can also be attributed to peer contagion. In addition, the proliferation of mental illnesses like Tourette’s and rapid-onset gender dysphoria in young teens, can be blamed on apps like TikTok, Twitch, and Tumblr. While not social contagions per se, other disorders, like depression and PTSD, might also be environmental in origin, or diseases of modernity.
This begs the question: if the media can manufacture mass-sociogenic illnesses out of thin air, like Long-Covid, what makes us think syndromic surveillance will help solve the mental health crisis? Big Pharma and Big Tech are creating the very mental illnesses they are seeking to understand. Who’s to say our data won’t be used to modify future behaviors, to create outcomes which are favorable to profiteering companies like Google and Facebook? As Shoshanna Zuboff analyzes in her book, Surveillance Capitalism, the goal of these companies is to harvest data that can predict, and mold, consumer behavior. Social media companies, for example, have an incentive to get us addicted to their products, and they are doing just that.
In light of the rise of Big Tech psychiatry, it’s important to look at how these companies shape our behavior. These know more about us than we do, but only because they engineer contexts that limit our range of choices, reducing us to rats in a maze that are made to do x or y. As one internet-of-things software developer puts it:
“Context-aware data allow us to tie together your emotions, your cognitive functions, your vital signs, etc. We can know if you shouldn’t be driving, and we can just shut your car down. We can tell the fridge, “Hey, lock up because he shouldn’t be eating,” or we tell the TV to shut off and make you get some sleep, or the chair to start shaking because you shouldn’t be sitting so long, or the faucet to turn on because you need to drink more water.”
The goal of the infamous “Great Reset” is to create digital identities—profiles of one’s unconscious self–which can then be used to orchestrate human behavior from afar. Going forward, our digital identities will be linked to every click, comment, and share we make on social media; what we buy and sell; how much energy we consume; who we vote for, etc. This behavioral data will then determine what products, services, and information we have access to. Furthermore, the aim of all these initiatives is to construct a sensing layer—a digital panopticon—that can detect climatological changes, behavioral trends, and pandemic outbreaks as they occur in real-time. In the not-so-distant future, swarm governance will be imposed via smart cities, microchips, nanotechnologies (Neuralink), Digital pills with embedded sensors, clothing with temperature monitoring, smart watches, etc. All of these technologies will be used to gather our data, and to steer our behavior in the same direction—thereby making future outcomes certain for both experts and Big Tech companies.
Will this work, though? In countries like China, where Swarm Governance has become the norm, human rights are violated daily. As Mary Hungtinton writes, in China, “citizens burn to death inside buildings they can’t escape because of lockdown confinement and must engage with the “sensing layer” – which is to say, take a PCR test at their own expense – every forty-eight hours in order to use public transport, go shopping, or go to work.” As another article reveals, “china’s ‘social credit’ system ranks citizens and punishes them with throttled internet speeds and flight bans if the Communist Party deems them untrustworthy.” If it isn’t already obvious, the ‘sensing layer’ will not lead to increased awareness of societal problems — it’ll only mask them, or downright force individuals into submission.
Benjamin Button argued that the pandemic was a revenge of the real. As he says, “the pandemic is an irruptive revelation of the complex biological reality of the planet with which we are entangled.” Our subjective beliefs aside, Covid-19 revealed that we are all potential contagion vectors, “objects in a cause-and-effect relationship with the world.” Button’s solution of creating a sensing layer, over-and-above our own, in my view, would only lead to the destruction of reality itself. If we all became quantified selves, mere lines of code on a computer, wouldn’t this blur the line between reality and fiction? Imagine a matrix-like world where you couldn’t differentiate a Deep-Fake video from a real one, where artificially intelligent beings perfectly mimiced human behavior, etc. How would you know if each choice you made was your’s, or not just some conditioned response to an external stimulus? Swarm governance resembles the centralized Soviet system of production and distribution, only this time it is digitalized and privatized. dataism, as it’s sometimes called, is a form of totalitarian control with no precedent in human history.
In order to understand the future of swarm governance, it’s important to look at what totalitarianism traditionally meant in the 20th century. As Byung Chul Han writes in Infocracy:
“An important characteristic of classic totalitarianism, as a secular political religion, is that it makes a ‘claim to total explanation’. Its ideology provides a narrative that ‘promises to explain all historical happenings, the total explanation of the past, the total knowledge of the present, and the reliable prediction of the future . . . With totalitarianism, we bid farewell to the reality given to us by our five senses.”
Totalitarian systems construct a sixth sense, one that is infused with the will of the state itself. A society shaped entirely by data, by contrast, will have no second reality behind the one given to us by our senses. It will be driven not by narration, but by algorithmic operations, operations that coldly analyze our behavior without the added religious fervor. Ideologies like Nazism or Communism replaced sensory information—individual knowledge—with state-propaganda, blurring reality with fiction. Dataist regimes outsource the propagandic function to us, to its users. In a datafied society, we willall become isolated nobodies, not because we were told to, or forced to, but because we chose this world. As Byung Chul Han writes in Psychopolitics, “today, everyone is an auto-exploiting laborer in his or her own enterprise. People are now master and slave in one. Even class struggle has transformed into an inner struggle against oneself.”
With A.I. technology developing at a such a rapid pace, soon we will have no choice over whether we want to exist in the natural world or the digital one, since both realms will coalesce. Man and machine, nature and the internet, will merge as one. In a 2022 Expert Survey on Progress in AI, conducted with 738 experts who published at the 2021 NIPS and ICML conferences, “AI experts estimated that there’s a 50% chance high-level machine intelligence will occur until 2059.” Soon A.I will acquire general intelligence, and governance will be determined soley by algorithmic operations. This will result in what Jean Baudrillard called the “perfect crime”. All of our acts and all events will dissipate into pure information. When this occurs, reality will implode, “leaving no trace, not even the sign of its end.” As Baudrillard hauntingly warned, “in the shroud of the virtual, the corpse of the real is gone.”
The pandemic, and our response to it, wasn’t a revenge of the real, as Button argues in his book. Rather, it was the return of illusion, of propaganda disguised as fact. Now states are doing everything in their power to prevent you from recognizing this. Both the public and private sector are aware that the control of information determines how we view reality. That is why such a strong effort is made by Government agencies and Big Tech to punish political dissidents by tracking digital footprints; it’s why companies like Youtube engage in mass-censorship in order to stop the spread of ‘misinformation’’; it’s why bank accounts are even being frozen to prevent protests against vaccine-mandates; it’s why a constellation of public/private entities, from NATO to state-department funded NGO’s, are there at the ready to attack free speech. They want to shape everything that you see, everything that you feel, and most of all — they want to shape how you view yourself.
During the pandemic, virologists and politicians adopted an ‘ethic of objects’. Each person was identified with their body as a potential contagion vector. Fear took control of the social body. This is why we consented to all the draconian measures imposed from above. We complied, and took an experimental vaccine; we complied, and covered our faces with masks; we complied, and distanced ourselves from others. Globally, A state of exception was declared, and life became ‘bare’ — stripped of all purpose. Survival turned out to be our society’s top priority, as we all huddled in our homes in an attempt to ‘stop the spread’.
The mental health crisis will be handled using the same ethic of objects, only this time it won’t go for the body — it will attack the mind. A viral threat to one’s body can be understood, somewhat, through scientific consensus; we’ve sequenced the human genome, we know what a virus is, how they behave, and ways in which we can target them. Once the virus disappears, it is thought, the state of emergency will end. Locating a disease within one’s mind, on the other hand, is any man’s game, regardless of your credentials. This makes the new crisis all-the-more dangerous, since a threat as abstract as mental illness can exist anywhere there are people, and persist so long as those people suffer, which is, in itself, a fact of life.

For years, the political Left and Right have been constrained within the framework of democratic labels. Even within functional constitutional republics, democratic principles determined the political discourse. Ideological labels, such as “left” and “right” were hijacked by parties seeking to achieve success within voting mechanisms. The Social-Democratic Party of Sweden, Christian Democratic Union of Germany, Republican Party of the United States, or the Labour Party of the United Kingdom are examples of parties that effectively announce their ideological position within the body of their names – even if they do not necessarily act in a manner consistent with that position when they are in power. The only genuine exception to this rule in the Western world are the names of the dominant political parties of Ireland, all of which embrace names that are decidedly nationalistic and do not fall within the general framework of values that point toward a left-right dichotomy: [in parliamentary order at this time] Fianna Fail (“Soldiers of Destiny”), Sinn Fein (‘Ourselves Alone”), and Fine Gael (“Tribe of the Irish”). Ireland seems to provide an inadvertent clue as to the direction of the rest of the world.
The Irish political lurch toward a different political identity may explain where we are in a new global philosophical era, not necessarily a new world order. The symmetry of the political actors regardless as to the country of origin seems extraordinarily in lockstep. They all seem to have embraced a global death cult and it explains many of the confounding policies from Covid-19 protocols to mass migrant invasions to transgender insanity. The political Left now stands for death; the political Right now stands for survival.
Whereas “death cult” may seem hyperbolic, our world is led by a small group of people who seem to have embraced the idea that the world is overpopulated and will continue to exceed available resources. At the same time, given the language related to climate change rhetoric, human beings are intrinsically problematic. After all, it is not merely constrained to vehicle emissions or methane producing domesticated animals that are considered causes for climate change. A variety of factors are determined to contribute to CO2 emissions, from unnatural home placement to so-called systemic racism. As such, global elites effectively want you dead. They want a smaller global population.
Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has openly stated that the world population should be halved. Influential Stanford University Professor Paul Ehrlich is often quoted by climate change proponents due to his “Population Bomb” theory. He has repeatedly stated that the world population should be at 1.5 billion to remain stable. We stand at 8.1 billion today. Therefore, in order to reach Ehrlich’s numbers, we would have to lose approximately 6.6 billion people in some manner while stopping fertility for some period of time. Bill Gates, in 2010, famously stated on a Ted Talk that he hoped to reduce the population by 10 – 15% in the next decade through the use of vaccines and other control mechanisms. The mysterious Georgia Guidestones stated as one of its commandments, “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.” But how would this be achieved? The answer is simple: policy initiatives on a country-by-country basis through exploiting the democratic process.
At present, the manipulation of a variety of emotionally driven decision making has led to policy initiatives that are intentionally designed to dismantle virtuous, moral society and nationalist sentiment. This is done under the guise of “equality” and “freedom,” as well as “world peace,” but it is intertwined with depopulation initiatives. It is not an accident that pro-life policies and pro-nationalist sentiment are often characterized as undemocratic and antagonistic toward freedom. By “pro-life,” I do not mean the constrained American definition that largely relates to abortion. Rather, I mean positions that seek to preserve or expand humankind.
Abortion is, by definition, an anti-life procedure. Whether one wishes to debate the point at which life manifests itself is irrelevant. The end result of an abortion is that a life will not be born. Those opposed to abortion are deemed “anti-freedom” by women’s “choice” activists. The actual debate as to the morality of the procedure is not really the point. The fact is, abortion is an important tool as it pertains to population control. Pro-abortion acolytes have said as much – whether it is by means of a desire to fund abortions through overseas women’s reproductive health programming or through “family planning” initiatives in the United States and the West. Abortion is a population limiting tool.
Correspondingly, another population limiting tool is homosexuality and other mechanisms of sexual dysphoria. LGBT activists will take exception to the fact that they cannot have children naturally while engaged exclusively within the parameters of their chosen sexual identity. But it is true. Homosexuals cannot make babies alone, with the exception of bisexuals and possibly transgenders for obvious reasons. Two women simply cannot conceive a child without sperm; two men cannot conceive a child without an egg. Transgenders are a breed unto themselves, but mutated males do not gain wombs by virtue of their self-imposed mutilation. Only transgender men – i.e., women who parade around as males – can conceive of a child with the assistance of an actual male, assuming she/he did not engage in some form of permanent change to their reproductive organs. In other words, the entire LGBT movement is by definition a population control mechanism, even if that is not the stated intent of the movement.
It should not be a surprise, therefore, that the promotion of sexual dysphoria among younger generations has a natural, limiting impact on the reproductive capacity of future generations. At present, nearly 20% of Generation Z identifies on some scale of the non-heterosexual, LGBT+ spectrum. Millennials hold about a 6% identification threshold. Generation X stands at approximately 3% – which remains generally consistent with older populations. When taking a step back, that is an extraordinary explosion in LGBT growth within a fairly short window of time. Within two generations, LGBT identification leapt sevenfold. Whereas some may state that this was a function of greater tolerance, that is unlikely to be the case. Tolerance for LGBT behaviors have stayed fairly consistent for the past three decades, with the exception of the marriage debate. Something else has to explain the sudden jump. Collapsed testosterone levels (which I will discuss in a moment) likely play some role in this increase, but there is no doubt that propaganda has had an enormous impact on sexual degeneracy.
If I concede my political opposition’s position, for arguments sake, that homosexuality of varying forms is merely an outgrowth of biological construct, then there would be no need for homosexual propaganda. No one would need to feel encouraged to be something that they are born to be. Whether I like it or not, the societal parameters already exist to accept LGBTers. Yet, Generation Z was inundated from the moment of their youngest childhood experiences to embrace some element of LGBT identity. From cartoons to young adult books to movies to education activism – LGBT propaganda is everywhere. That is clearly by design, but for what purpose? We are beyond the cultural point of incorporating LGBT propaganda for the sake of acceptance. The broader population accepts LGBT identity. The government effectively endorses LGBT identity by encouraging it through Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) reporting. The only natural conclusion would be the need for population restricting behaviors. Is it “possible” for a lesbian couple to find a sperm donor? Sure. Are they likely? No. The net effect of the LGBT movement is depopulation.
In tandem with these depopulation platforms masquerading as decisions of sexual liberation is mass migration. Ironically, Paul Ehrlich was a founding member of a group called the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a group that the SPLC deemed a “hate organization” because it is opposed to open borders. Ehrlich’s position, as well as those of similar groups, like Population Matters in the United Kingdom, was that open borders would effectively encourage poorer migrants to explode in population growth thanks to an abundance of resources they were previously denied. In essence, the easier we have it as a civilization, the easier it is to breed. This is called the “Malthusian Crisis” – and it has been proven wrong repeatedly over time.
Without going into exhaustive detail, Thomas Malthus was an early 19th century social scientist/political economist who theorized that population growth was stimulated by “good times.” These good times created population explosions that resulted in “bad times” – war, hunger, diseases, etc. The cyclical nature of these events created population control mechanisms. He advocated forms of population control as the only way to achieve a utopian society. Neo-Malthusians, like the World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and UN General Secretary António Guterres, also embrace population control means, but unlike Thomas Malthus – a Christian with neoliberal ideals – they openly supported controls through a variety of means, including forced contraception/sterilization and societal changes. But how does this relate to mass migration?
As I previously stated, Thomas Malthus and Paul Ehrlich have been repeatedly proven wrong about population explosions due to “good times.” The fact is, when the good times roll, populations shrink. When people are doing well, they neither feel a need for more children to care for them at a later date nor do they want children to interrupt their good times. This is the childless Millennial couple on steroids. It is also historically rooted in broader population examples. Relatively comfortable Western Europe does not meet its population replacement levels. Meanwhile, Kenya and Palestine, nearly double their populations every decade through natural birth, despite poverty and/or war.
Many on the Dissident Right, myself included, believe that the purpose of population replacement is designed to fundamentally change the countries into which migrants are being compelled to enter through open borders. Our world leaders would like to see an end to White people – a mantra our global elites have openly repeated while simultaneously calling it a conspiracy theory. But there is a corresponding depopulation benefit from mass migration that may have eluded the Dissident Right. Migrant families that enter into Western countries begin to have less children within a generation. The comforts of Europe or the United States depress their repopulation habits found in their natural habitats.
If my goal is depopulation, the combination of more readily available food sources, greater access to global health facilities, and smaller wars in third world countries harms my goal. People in the emerging and frontier market space have more food and less disease than ever before. Wars are far more limited. Consequently, populations are exploding in places like India, Nigeria, and the Middle East. One way to solve the overpopulation challenges is to “spread the wealth.”
The consequence of spreading said wealth will not impact billionaires like George Soros, Elon Musk, or Jeff Bezos. It impacts the little guy in the countries being invaded. The “little guy” is silenced by dismissing his natural earnings concerns, genuine misgiving pertaining to personal safety, and a desire to preserve the integrity of his culture as “racist.” Thus, global elites get to change the structural foundation of Western societies, making governments less susceptible to demands of accountability (an exclusively Western tradition) and more chaotic through mass migration and the exploitation of broader, unaccountable democracy. This is how Irish political parties – rooted in nationalist sentiment -betray an entire nation-state in a generation, not unlike their less nationalistic counterparts in other Western countries.
Another benefit is the chaos itself. The fact is, Western societies are among the most productive in the world. Nowhere is this truer than the Netherlands. A recent series of political initiatives related to energy and climate change reforms have had – and will continue to have – a massive impact on one of the most efficient agricultural societies. The Netherlands is currently the sixth largest exporter of food in the world, but at a size that is roughly the same as Maryland. In some years, the Netherlands has placed an astounding second to the US. By sheer land-to-crop yield, the square-kilometer efficiency of Dutch farmers is incredible. Yet, the system imported millions of migrants which led to a political shift. That political shift resulted in a series of new laws that will cut Dutch food production by 70% over the next five years. Former farms will be converted into low-income housing for migrants.
Through mass migration, depopulation advocates are effectively eliminating a top food producing country and fundamentally changing the Netherlands simultaneously. Given its relative size, that was easier to do than Germany or the United States, but that is only a matter of time. Meanwhile, if you want to stymie food production in the bigger countries that are better capable of absorbing migrant inflows, one way you can do that is disrupt their supply chain at the exact time that an inflationary crunch impacts capital access. If you limit fertilizer availability, “accidentally” damage food processing and distribution facilities, restrict repair parts for farm equipment, and increase fuel prices to levels that make ground transportation unfavorable, you kill food production and availability. Starvation has always been a cure for population growth. Whereas Americans can afford to lose some weight, if you are a depopulation advocate, you do not care that Americans may have to pay more for a cheeseburger. You want to stymie American and other national food exports to countries in Africa, Latin America, and East Asia, all of whom rely upon Western agricultural efficiency to eat.
Another area in which the global death cult has reared its ugly head has been global conflict. For a myriad of reasons, I support Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. That said, even if I did not support his invasion, I would have significant reservations regarding the policy prescriptions considered to address alleged Russian aggression. There is no question that the American-led NATO is trying to get us deeper into a war with Russia that would only result in a massive loss of life. The irony is that the once anti-war political Left has vanished almost entirely in the past decade and therefore, has been a non-factor in the escalation of hostilities. Where did the anti-war Left go? I theorize that they are now on board the death cult train.
The least bellicose president in modern American history was Donald Trump. Regardless of any misgivings one may have about Trump, he was the only president who did not create a conflict while in office. In fact, he ended them. Yet, Barrack Obama, his predecessor, cultivated no less than six regional conflicts, including multiple coups, and extended the war in Afghanistan. Obama became the first president in American history to oversee a military that was engaged in conflict in all eight years of his presidency. Obama somehow won the Nobel Peace Prize – and kept it.
Finally, there is the Covid-19 Agenda. Whether you believe that Covid is real is irrelevant. The fact is that the agenda is very real. No functional society in the history of mankind has ever shut down their country to tackle a flu outbreak. Yet, that is what happened in 2020. We can argue as to the actual specifics of Covid, coronaviruses, their existence, etc. But the fact that the broader world – from China to the United States – regardless of national origin or political orientation, shut down simultaneously (with the exception of a very small group of states) proves that a coordinated assault on independence and human interaction occurred. That was led from the top.
Covid-19 lockdowns had an enormous impact on a variety of very real metrics on quality of life. Depression, suicides, and drug and alcohol abuse all rose due to lockdowns. Household earnings and savings fell. Spousal abuse claims rose. Childhood education fell. Lives were fundamentally devastated by insidious and heartless policies peddled by a political Left that did not care about the very real impact on humanity. This was all over a disease with a less than one percent mortality rate – and that mortality was generally confined to immunocompromised individuals. Then came the “vaccine.”
We still do not know the long-term consequences of the “vax,” but we do know short term impacts. Per the Florida Surgeon General, men between the ages of 18 – 54 have an 85% greater chance of gaining a heart condition after getting the vaccine. This does not include boosters. Otherwise healthy young men are dying daily. Athletes seem to die at a rate of one a day. We do not know the others who are dying, but if we trust the statistics from VAERS, there appears to be a 15% hospitalization rate and a 5% death rate. This is elevated among smokers and drinkers between the ages of 30 – 50 years old. That is not natural.
What is also unnatural is the near universal assault on freedom of information and bodily decisions related to the vaccine. Whereas I was generally not an anti-vaccine person, I had reservations regarding a Covid vaccine because of its relatively mild symptoms. It seemed weird that it was peddled so aggressively. Yet, suddenly, social media uniformly suppressed potentially lifesaving information, the government-imposed vaccination mandates, and every major actor – from big corporations to big sports venues – demanded a vaccine for a largely non-lethal disease. Then young men started dying. Short term, there is no question that the vaccine – at a minimum – harms otherwise healthy men more than Covid. Long term, we do not yet know, but I would not be surprised if the vaccine harms reproductive capacity. Most recently, the National Institute of Health found a correlation between another aggressively peddled vaccine – HPV – and infertility among young women.
When viewed holistically, it seems that we are in the midst of a world that is led by a global death cult. They desperately want depopulation. The totality of initiatives and cultural/societal assaults cannot be ignored. They want you dead and it appears, they want the world dead, too. Stopping this insanity is a tall order.
Your children and grandchildren are being fed a steady diet of climate change propaganda largely to affect a depopulation outcome. They are being fed abortion propaganda to get them to stop making babies and simultaneously harming their reproductive organs. They are being fed LGBT propaganda in an attempt to reduce their potential for reproduction. They are being replaced by migrant surges that not only kill the cultural integrity and ideological identity of your people, but also breeds out their genetic lineage. Artificially stimulated food shortages are leading to food replacements that are leading to decreased testosterone levels and elevated estrogen – which both harm reproductive capacity in males. Those young males not impacted by these food-born poisons are being injected with poisons that stop their hearts. Meanwhile, their female counterparts are being injected with something that will stop them from having babies. All of this is in the name of human progress.
By progress, they mean an end to the world as we know it. The political Left now stands for death; the political Right now stands for survival. How we survive is yet to be known.

I’m not a Beltway creature, but I recently found myself chatting with some associates over lunch right in the heart of it. This was an establishment where a meal with an ice tea runs you no less than 50 bucks. I noticed an infamous Clinton lawyer was seated nearby.
The conversation turned to geopolitical matters. I always try to read the room before expressing my fake opinions, which is pretty easy when all I’ve had to drink is unsweet tea.
However, since we’re all quite familiar, I opened with my alarm that World War 3 is just around the corner. They seemed to think it would pop off over Taiwan. My contention was that if it does, it will be entirely at the instigation of Uncle Sam.
What DC dwellers imagine.My point about the spy balloon was that if all of our officials and media are saying the same thing about it, this would be the most compelling piece of evidence that it isn’t true. After all, these are the same people, and this is their track record, connected to the GWOT. Blank stares.
I also speculated that if it does pop off, it’s more likely that it will happen in Eastern Europe because the global showdown could escalate there before the groundwork is finished for war in Asia. There’s still quite a bit to be done to prep for the next failed war.
Apparently, this wouldn’t happen because the Russians are fighting so poorly that they’ve resorted to forcing conscripts without rifles forward in order to identify Ukrainian positions by getting slaughtered. I mentioned their cutting edge “penicillin” mobile counter battery system, which isn’t detectible because it doesn’t use radar. Bringing up details only sparks incredulity in the experts.
It was explained to me was that there can only be one top dog, so Uncle Sam must be him. I didn’t bother to contest it with any historical anecdotes or quips about delusion and the predictability of unforeseen consequences. The implication was that somebody who wasn’t from the imperial center and isn’t privy to the Washington Post would have a tough time grasping such matters.
Rightwing dissident content producers have to stay aware that we’ve built our own intellectual ecosystem and one particular reason is because most of us can’t stand what we swim around in during our daily lives. I know from meeting so many of us that our work backgrounds vary but this thread is one of those that tie us together.
A different archetype would be someone who sees what they’re swimming around in and makes the most out of it without much, if any, in the way of intellectual or spiritual introspection. They write off the irritating and the ominous in the pursuit of success and focus on the benefits to their personal life. I get it.
I think that’s what it takes to make it in the Beltway or the military if you don’t share the nefarious and self-destructive agenda to which these mechanisms of power have been harnessed. I’ve never met any of them who can even articulate what’s really going on. I suppose they live by the platitudes.
For your mental health, this is why you should never live in the expectation that some pithy bit of rhetoric or presentation of unrevealed facts would aquaint such guys with reality.
A nuclear warhead won’t do the trick, either. So, don’t despair and start hoping for the apocalypse. To be honest, I don’t know what you should do. I’m just warning you it’s not healthy to hope for certain things.

If you have ever had a conversation with a non-braindead Mississippian about Mississippi politics or paid any attention to the state’s affairs, you have more than likely come across the term “Good Ole Boy System.” It is the political network and cabal, almost dynasty, of moderate and liberal politicians and businessmen which controls the state. This system has held an iron grip on the state for quite some time, arguably since the end of the Civil Rights Movement. Without delving too deeply into the weeds on its history, the Good Ole Boy System, “GOBS” for short, has gone unchallenged anywhere since Governor Kirk Fordice left office in 2000. The current iteration of the GOBS is a GOP dynasty ushered in by Haley Barbour in 2004 and has worked radically to modernize Mississippi, often groveling to the will of the SEC and various out of state actors with deep pockets. The corruption of the GOBS is massive, the SEC quite literally being the reason the state’s flag changed in 2020. It runs so deep that the largest landowners in the state are those same out of state businesses, largely from New England, and timber companies.
The Republican dominated state legislature and local infrastructure stands at odds with its own voters, and this is best exemplified at how it stalwartly manages to always cave to every single leftwing trend of the time and works diligently to crush various conservative organizations, like the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Their hatred for Southern culture and symbols becomes obvious once you notice that very few Rebel Flags are seen flying around Mississippi compared to the rest of the South, and the entire media and education infrastructure of Mississippi unabatingly waxes poetically about the grand history and struggles of its Negro population. If you ever pass through, just take a gander at the local newspapers. Furthermore, it does not take too long to figure out that most of these Republicans all come from upper-class households in the Delta, Oxford, and the Jackson metropolitan area. Rich liberals in autocratic control of one of the poorest states in the Union, but without the positives of being an actual aristocracy.
Anyway, despite its power, the GOBS has yet to wholly eradicate the rightwinger from its political ranks; it can only neuter their power and influence. One such rightwing state senator is Chris McDaniel. Whereas it may be fairly easy for someone who loves Dixie to progress through the ranks of each Southern state’s infrastructure, should they play their cards right, it is more or less impossible to do so in Mississippi. Corey Stewart of Virginia, Marjorie Greene of Georgia, numerous legislators in Texas, as well as the Texas Nationalist Movement, and Ron DeSantis of Florida come to mind as individuals able to make quite a name for themselves despite the fact they defend their states’ respective histories and cultures with pride. Only a handful in Mississippi within recent years have done this, and they cannot do so with much gusto. One of them, former Mississippi Senator Melanie Sojourner, has recently been gerrymandered out by Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann. It is worth pointing out that Hosemann has been appointing Democrats to numerous chairmanships and committees held by Republicans, and even Governor Tate Reeves has pointed out that Hosemann is behaving as a dictator in the Senate. McDaniel, having failed to win elections to the U.S. Senate in 2014 and 2018, has recently declared he is now going to challenge the very powerful Hosemann for the position. He is one of the last remaining rightwing politicians in the state, having risen to popularity as part of the Tea Party Movement and is one of its very last holdouts anywhere.
A mudslinger through and through, McDaniel made a name for himself in 2014 in his bid to dethrone Thad Cochran from the U.S. Senate. He so narrowly struck a massive blow to the MS GOBS that it generated national attention. Losing by less than 1% of the vote, the GOBS defeated him in the runoff by organizing just a couple thousand Democrats, mostly Negroes in the Jackson area, to cross party vote for Cochran.
Anyhow, McDaniel is infamous in the Mississippi Senate and has few allies. His rhetoric is legendary and should please anyone who actually cares about and loves the Magnolia State. According to Mississippi Today regarding his announcement speech, “McDaniel’s speech hit on numerous red-meat conservative issues: ‘woke-ism,’ the right of parents to refuse child vaccinations, states’ rights, gun rights, election fraud and President Biden. The crowd of supporters, including a handful of fellow state lawmakers, replied frequently with applause or ‘amen.'” Mississippi Today went on to say, “McDaniel, 51, a lawyer from Ellisville, promised if elected he will push for tax cuts and elimination, deregulation, state sovereignty, parents’ rights, restoring the ballot initiative, lobbying reform and “eliminating woke culture in our schools and universities.” Of course, all the usual suspects are coming out against him, including the entire media establishment. Casey Phillips, Hosemann’s senior campaign adviser, stated, “After being rejected by Mississippians in three failed statewide campaigns, the least effective politician in the state with the largest ego is running again, this time for Lt. Governor. By comparison, Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann’s conservative record is clear, implementing Voter ID to secure our elections, delivering the largest tax cut in Mississippi’s history, and overseeing a major teacher pay raise. Results matter and Delbert delivers.” Firstly, this conservative record does not exist, and second, expect more drivel like this. Thankfully, McDaniel is no stranger to mudslinging and hopefully will be able to engage the cowardly, nerdy Hosemann in a debate.
Hopefully, this will finally be a win for Mississippi, the first in generations.

The rapid and total promotion of degeneracy and anti-White/anti-Christian values in children’s entertainment has become something of a unifying force on the Right, from the normies to the dissidents. With the exception of the most slavishly pro-corporate elements of the Right, which consider any criticism of big business to be tantamount to the Storming of the Winter Palace, the Right has been able to rally around just how blatantly vile children’s entertainment has become in just a few years. And, I am not referring to demented parents taking their children to drag shows, no matter how despicable that may be, but rather what now regularly plays on television and in movies.
In some ways this is not new, as much of this leftwing subversion has just become more blatant. There have been, at least since the 1990s, characters in children’s entertainment that were intended to be homosexuals – Scar from The Lion King qualifies here. However, since that film was released at least two major shifts have occurred: 1) no matter how much it may be played up, the film never outright states Scar is a homosexual, and it wouldn’t be until years later, when watching the film again, did I pick up on that aspect of the character and 2) Scar is clearly the villain. Neither the subtlety nor the villain status would likely be employed today. Additionally, there has been a major push to heavily use non-White characters in children’s entertainment, as well as vilify White people. For example, demands for reparations from the “systemically racist” United States were included in a recent episode of The Proud Family.
Although we may find the roots of the current surge of degeneracy in children’s entertainment in earlier times, a major shift has still occurred, and that change must be examined. In some respects, the Left’s demand to control children’s entertainment appears to be counterproductive. After all, as soon as these kids turn 18 and go to college, or in some cases even in high school, they can be indoctrinated with limited parental oversight. As an example, watch the episode from The Sopranos where AJ is taught to hate an Italian icon, Christopher Columbus, by a leftwing history teacher. This becomes especially odd when one considers that in college, and to a lesser extent in high school, it becomes much easier to keep parents in the dark about what their kids are learning; this is something that is clearly not the case for entertainment aimed at small children. Why not just keep things subtle, like they largely did in the 1990s, and then hit the kids with leftism in high school and college? The Left’s fanaticism on pushing this certainly appears to have created an unnecessary backlash and energized the Right to push back.
The Right must understand just how committed the Left is to their long-term goals. By going as far and as hard as they have, they have created a rightwing backlash that I never thought I would see. I never would have imagined that it would be a Republican who would stand up to Disney in Florida; to what extent Disney was opposed in Florida, it typically came from Democrats who did not like that a private corporation had been allowed to set up its own fiefdom in Central Florida. Regardless, by pushing an extreme leftwing agenda as thoroughly as they did, the backlash is exactly what happened. And judging by the election returns from November, the people of Florida wholeheartedly agreed with Governor Ron DeSantis on this issue. In what was an otherwise underwhelming night for the GOP, DeSantis won in a landslide, transforming Florida into a Deep Red state, something I never imagined a decade ago.
But the Left is willing to take that risk, because they know that if they can survive this rightwing repercussion, they are in a great position to break the back of the Authentic Right for the foreseeable future. To understand what is going on here, we must recognize who forms the backbone of authentic rightwing populist movements. These movements are largely comprised of people from rural backgrounds who move to major cities for work and, in turn, are horrified by the degeneracy and cultural decline, seeing it correctly as an afront to the traditional values of both their country and faith. Both the Legion of the Archangel Michael (The Iron Guard) of Romania and the mass supporters of the Iranian Islamic Revolution fit this archetype. And so does the Dissident Right, as the typical member of the Dissident Right originates from a rural/small town background and was (still is) shocked at the Left’s behavior after: 1) relocating to a metropolitan area for work, 2) attending college, 3) encountering the Left online and realizing just how unhinged they are, and 4) some combination of all of these. Growing up, I was always a pretty tolerant “live and let live” sort of guy until I realized just how thoroughly the Left hated me. During the initial rise of the Dissident Right, sociologists were often perplexed over just how common at least some college education was on the Dissident Right, as they had worked under the assumption that “racism” was the product of a lack in education. In reality, this apparent paradox is easy to figure out, leftwing excesses have radicalized a generation to the Right.
By pushing their agenda so completely, the Left is revealing just how committed they are to long-term victory. They understand that if they can withstand this reactionary backlash, as they did in the 1980s, they will be in a winning position where the threat of a rightwing response has been effectively neutralized. In essence, the younger generations, even those from rural and conservative backgrounds, will no longer form the backbone of authentic rightwing populist movements because no matter how far the Left sinks, all of this will be “normalized.” The Left’s positions will be what they have seen on television since they were small children; thus, creating a situation whereby the Left can do whatever they please. That is what is at stake, and why the Right cannot flippantly dismiss this as “just a kid’s show” for the far more pressing issue of making sure Bill Gates gets a tax cut; the Left is thinking long-term here and the Right must do the same.
For as long as there have been leftwing overreaches, the Left has always had to fear the possibility of the Right’s response, some successful (like the Iranian Revolution or the Spanish Civil War) and some failures (like Conservatism, Inc.). But by taking the risk they are now, by targeting children at a much younger age, the Left has a path to break out of this cycle. The Right must be committed to stopping them.

In the book The Rise and Decline of Nations by Mancur Olson, he postulates that certain economic factors such as social rigidity contribute to the inevitable collapse of states.
While I do not ascribe to his theory in full, there is much to learn about certain aspects of the decline within the book (he is an economist—the book is far too centrally focused on only the economy, as if it is some type of god-deity that leads everything else).
Particularly of importance is the concept of domineering interest groups.
Olson expanded on the idea that successful countries generally beat down special interest groups during the ascent and development phase (when the country is becoming successful). However, bureaucracy inevitably occurs once the country has been successful for a long enough timeframe. The people get lazy and stop protecting the foundational principles.
Once this happens, these interest groups outmaneuver the state and accumulate more influence. Eventually, they are more powerful than the state, as they use the state to their own ends.
This often comes—at first—through regulations and special laws. These “favors” allow the special interest groups to rest above everyone else. They are granted a special position. This allows them more power over the masses, and eventually, more power over the state itself.
Once people realize this is occurring, more and more people stop contributing politically to the state. They feel as though their contribution is insignificant. Thereby giving these special interest groups even more power. We see this happening now in the United States, as dissidents drop out.
The special interest groups “pull up the ladder” behind them, so no one else can reach their position. The managerial state compounds this effect.
These groups are what I would call the “isolated class” (To differentiate them from just the very wealthy).
Olson mostly focuses on their actions on the macro-economic factors such as trade pieces and geopolitics, but I find this more important on the micro-level. This is exactly what has happened in the United States to small businesses and individual people.
It comes in the form of bureaucracy. Bureaucracy:
Which is near exactly what Olson describes in the book, but on a micro-scale.
Here is a perfect, albeit sassy, example:
Regulations are crafted through the state discussing “standards” with big business. This is real rigidity, because it allows big business to prevent others from enjoying the same opportunities as they did while growing. They do this against small business and unbeholden entrepreneurs to gain an advantage.
Small business should have a seat at the discussion tables for these regulations, but they don’t, because they aren’t big enough to have that influence. So, they continually get curb stomped.
We don’t need all these regulations, but we have them.
It can, and will, get even worse.Bureaucracy will ensure we cannot get rid of them—because anyone in a position of influence that could remove them (big business or the state), would be strategically harmed in doing so.
This places them in a position that cannot be overcome traditionally within the system.
So, the situation continues to worsen and worsen until it is simply not stable at all anymore. Then, collapse.
This is why the libertarian approach of “just build your own” will never work. The isolated class will just make it impossible as we try to do so.
The same thing is happening with housing, where entrance costs are nothing like what they used to be. Another example can be found in the covid regulations, which quickly became a racket.
Older generations don’t always understand this, because they think it is still as it was when they were young. But many are finally coming around and seeing what is happening. They are realizing it isn’t like how it was when they were young, and even that wasn’t like how it was when their parents were young.
For a future state, we need to make sure that bureaucracy is controlled. It cannot be allowed to explode like it does under the rule-by-many. This may be one of the greatest weaknesses of the more decentralized systems such as the republic or democracy.
If we leave these conditions unhindered, the exact same will occur given enough time. Then it won’t matter what system elements we change because the system will still degrade once those special interest groups have greater power than all others.

In an article written by Paul Craig Roberts and published on 2/1, Mr. Roberts stated, in part, “Museums are custodians of a culture’s history and art, as the United States was settled by white ethnicities from Great Britain, Ireland, and Europe, the history and art in museums reflects the culture of white people. The problem is that half a century of nonwhite immigration has racially diversified and multiculturalized the United States into a tower of Babel, and the Eurocentric tradition did not take into account ‘racial equity.’ In short, the collections are white and white is racist.”
He also observed: “New requirements for law schools amount to institutionalizing dogma and requiring instruction, such as Critical Race Theory, on subjects that are unrelated to any distinctive legal skill. So you will go to law school to learn how to be an anti-racist. This suggests that the future of law will turn on sentiment and emotion…In the repositories of our culture whiteness is under attack. In the legal profession whiteness is under attack. In the medical profession whiteness is under attack. Where is whiteness not under attack? Notice also that it is whites who are attacking whiteness. The cancellation of a civilization is well underway.”
The African continent is a great example of this. It happened there before here, but we don’t seem to have learned from it. Whites built thriving economies in places like Rhodesia and South Africa. These countries not only supported themselves, they even exported food to other places.
Now that black rule has taken over in these places, with even the white farmers being terrorized and replaced, these countries have been turned into hellholes that can’t even feed themselves anymore. White farmers have been replaced by black “farmers” who don’t bother farming and so people go hungry. And remember, it’s all the white man’s fault! Black farmers who won’t grow food are always the white man’s fault and don’t you dare forget that! Everything wrong in the world is the white man’s fault.
Another question comes to mind after reading Mr. Roberts’ article, which I was only able to quote in part. He noted that some whites were also attacking whiteness. The question arises, to me, and others, might it not be informative to check on the ethnicity of those whites who are helping to tear down their own civilization? Lots of folks might find the answer to that question quite enlightening.
I have yet one more suggestion. If white folks are all so evil and racist, why not let those who so roundly criticize them learn to do without all the terribly evil things whites have invented – things like automobiles, airplanes, telephones, indoor plumbing, electricity, air conditioning – you know, all that “evil” stuff that makes people’s lives more livable and comfortable. I’m sure those who hate the white races so much would be much more content if they just gave up all this “evil” stuff, don’t you think? But, as the man says, “Don’t hold your breath waiting for that.” These people want to enjoy all the modern conveniences with having assumed almost no responsibility for having created them. It’s great to criticize what you never created, but then try doing without it!

“If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.”
We do not need to beat around the bush on this one. Hyperbolic language has its place, of course. However, there really is no other way to describe a “performance” at the 2023 Grammys other than Satanic. The performers were Sam Smith, an overrated chubby homosexual, and a surgically castrated monstrosity named Kim Petras (born “Tim”). As you can likely deduce from the lead image, the performance was clearly Satanic in presentation and nature. We will spare the readership from embedding a video of the ritual, but it also included a couple of transvestites (Violet Chachki and Gottmik), fire pyrotechnics, a cage, and overtly demonic and Luciferin imagery. Sam and Tim’s song, central to the perverse production, is called “Unholy.” Not very subtle, to say the least. And, evidently, it was a major hit, debuting at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October of last year.
All of this truly is a stark reminder as to how far this nation (and culture) has fallen. That’s an almost overly clichéd commentary within the Dissident Right. However, when juxtaposing this recent abomination to earlier Grammys, it hammers the point even further. For instance, it would have been inconceivable for such a demonic performance at the 7th Annual Grammy Awards in 1965 – where Roger Miller’s Dang Me/Chug-A-Lug won Best Country & Western Album and Mary Poppins won for Best Recording for Children. This most recent Grammy iteration for Best Children’s Album went to the Alphabet Rockers and their album called The Movement. As you can probably guess, The Movement is, “written for the whole family to understand their power, break biases, disrupt systems of oppression, and find community care.” It includes a track called, “Junteenth.” Identity Dixie does not endorse.
Back to the issue at hand, though. While we will not provide a video of the unholy “Unholy” performance, below is an excerpt from the aforementioned song:
Mummy don’t know daddy’s getting hot
At the body shop, doing something unholy
He’s sat back while she’s dropping it, she be popping it
Yeah, she put it down slowly
Oh-ee-oh-ee-oh, he left his kids at
Ho-ee-oh-ee-ome, so he can get that
Mummy don’t know daddy’s getting hot
At the body shop, doing something unholy (woo)
We would not call this a lyrical masterpiece. But, obviously, there must be enough simpletons or non-Christians that find this number entertaining, or it would not be so popular; then again, they might not be listening to the lyrics. And mentioning lyrics, we would be remiss if we did not point out a rather interesting portion in “Unholy.”
Mmm, daddy, daddy, if you want it, drop the addy
Give me love, give me Fendi, my Balenciaga daddy
Balenciaga. Where have we heard that name before? That’s a fascinating inclusion. In case y’all needed a reminder: in November of last year, Balenciaga included children holding teddy bears with bondage harnesses in their holiday ad campaign. In a separate advertisement that dropped later that month, a bag from the fashion house was photographed atop copies of what appeared to be documents from the Supreme Court case United States v. Williams, a ruling that upheld the PROTECT Act (protections against child pornography). There are, of course, no coincidences.
One might argue that the lyrics to “Unholy” revolve around a married man having an affair with a gold-digging floozy. At least, that’s how it’s been described, and one might ascertain that from only reading the lyrics. Nonetheless, watching the official music video is more aligned with the Sam/Tim Satanic ritual. The music video includes a husband visiting some lurid “body shop” staffed with androgenous creatures, bearded ladies, and demonic-looking transexuals. There’s a great deal of snarling, girating, licking, and thinly veiled orgies. It’s a mixture of Cabaret‘s debauchery and despair and paired with the deformed freaks of Xerxes’ court from 300. In other words, it’s nightmare fuel for normal people – just like the Grammys recent Satanic celebration.
The Left, and even some on the Right, enjoy accusing normal people of engaging in a national “panic,” or a “Satanic Panic.” But, there is a major difference between 1980s heavy metal, Dee Snider, Dungeons & Dragons role-playing games, and what we’re currently watching in the media. In 1985, children were not being castrated and given hormone blockers. In 1985, the United States was still very much a Christian country; it never would have tolerated this current filth. Twisted Sister may have been a goofball, slapstick glam metal band with a couple of hits, but they weren’t obsessed with this unmistakable Satanic symbolism and sodomy. This is not a rightwing panic, a hysterical witch-hunt to shut down freedom of expression. This is clearly something else, and it is easily observable and explainable.
Current American culture is so utterly rotten and disgusting that Satanism is really the only rational explanation. It’s right there in the open.
This doesn’t pass the sniff test. We smell the sulfur.

Daughter: “Daddy, if having slaves was so evil, why do you say we should love and honor our ancestors who had slaves?”
Father: “Who told you having slaves was evil?”
Daughter: “Mrs. S. was talking about it in history class at school today. She said that Southerners who owned slaves a long time ago must have been evil people, or they wouldn’t have had slaves.”
Father: “What do you think about that?”
Daughter: “I don’t know; I think she might be right; it does seem pretty horrible to steal people from another part of the world and bring them here to be slaves.”
Father: “Yes, that does seem pretty horrible. Who do you think stole them and brought them here to be slaves?”
Daughter: “Mrs. S. told us in class that Southern people brought them here and made them slaves.”
Father: “Did she, now? Mrs. S. is not a stupid person, but she is certainly an ignorant one if that is what she said. She isn’t alone in that belief, though.”
Daughter: “I thought ignorant was the same thing as stupid, but why do you say that about her anyway? I like Mrs. S. She’s nice!”
Father: “Yes, she is nice, and I like her too, but our liking her for her good qualities is beside the point of what she knows and doesn’t know of certain subjects. A person is said to be ‘ignorant’ of a thing when his or her knowledge of that subject is lacking or deficient. It doesn’t mean she is a bad person or that I think she is a bad person. One can be a good person and still be ignorant of facts and therefore wrong.”
Daughter: “Yes, I guess that’s true. But Mrs. S. has been a teacher for a long time; she has to know what she’s talking about, doesn’t she?”
Father: “Not necessarily. I don’t know for sure where she got the information she told y’all in class about slavery, but I do know it isn’t true and that she is either misinformed and/or making wrong assumptions. Probably both.”
Daughter: “Wrong assumptions? What does that mean?”
Father: “People make assumptions about things they tend not to know much about. A wrong assumption is simply an assumption that is not true.
Daughter: “Then what is the truth? About how the slaves got here, I mean.”
Father: “The truth is, first, that they were not brought here by our Southern ancestors.”
Daughter: “But if Southerners didn’t bring them here, who did?”
Father: “That’s what I’m about to tell you. You know that what we call ‘America’ was first settled or ‘colonized’ by white people from ‘Mother England’ over four hundred years ago, in the early 1600s, right?”
Daughter: “Yeah, we learned about that in history, too.”
Father: “Has Mrs. S. told y’all anything about the Declaration of Independence (DoI)?”
Daughter: “Yes, she has; we read it and talked about it in class last semester, and we had a test about it later.”
Father: “Very good. Did she tell y’all anything about those parts of the DoI that were taken out by the committee whose job it was to oversee the drafting of that document?”
Daughter: “No?”
Father: “Perhaps she should have. You see, one part that was taken out ‘tells the tale’ of who brought African slaves to America to begin with; it helps explain why the transatlantic slave trade was one of many reasons those men we call the ‘Founders’ of America decided it was time for the colonies to ‘dissolve the political bands’ which connected them to the ‘Mother Country,’ and to become independent nations.”
Daughter: “That part they took out – what did it say?”
Father: “It condemned the King of Great Britain for taking black people from their native continent and forcing them on the American colonies against the collective will of the colonists.”
Daughter: “I wonder why they took that part out?”
Father: “That’s a good question, and one that Thomas Jefferson himself wrote about and answered decades later. He wrote that one main reason they decided to take that part out is because a couple of the men on the committee were New Englanders, and, by that time, New England ship owners had become, in Jefferson’s words, ‘pretty considerable carriers’ of African slaves themselves. Do you know who New Englanders are?”
Daughter: “No, I don’t think so.”
Father: “New Englanders were and are people who live(d) in states like Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, etc. They are Northerners; we sometimes call them ‘Yankees.’”
Daughter: “So, Northern people brought the slaves here on Northern ships?”
Father: “Yes, Northerners brought a lot of them here. They traded kegs of New England rum to other Africans for their slaves, then brought them to the Southern states to sell to our people for money.”
Daughter: “But if Southerners did not want the slaves, then why did they buy them?”
Father: “Well, like I said before, while the colonies were British colonies and their people British subjects, they had to obey the King or else. Later, when New England shippers got into the transatlantic slave trade, our people sometimes bought them because they felt sorry for them, all chained up, sick and hungry as they were when they arrived at our ports.”
Daughter: “Why did Southerners not want them here?”
Father: “Because they were non-Christian heathens and uncivilized, and were therefore as out of place here as we would be in the jungles of Africa or in China.”
Daughter: “But, why didn’t Southerners give them their freedom once they got here?”
Father: “Because they couldn’t have survived on this continent on their own to start with; they would have all died of malnutrition and disease, or have been killed by white people or Indians. Another reason is because our people had to pay a lot of money for each slave, to say nothing of the expense of nursing them back to health, and the only way to recover those expenses was for the slaves to work it off and earn their keep. Which most of them would not have done given the choice.”
Daughter: “Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Can we talk about this again sometime? I think I want to think about everything we’ve talked about some more.”
Father: “Of course. Ask about it again when you’re ready and you have more questions. But, before you go, let’s discuss the answer to the question you asked when we first started this conversation: you want to honor God and obey His commandments, don’t you?”
Daughter: “Yes, I do!”
Father: “Very good! You realize that when God commands us to honor our fathers and mothers in the Ten Commandments and elsewhere, He doesn’t make exceptions and say, for example, that we needn’t obey that command if our fathers and mothers were slave owners, right?”
Daughter: “Hmm. I never thought of it that way before.”
Father: “Lots of people go their whole lives without thinking about it that way. But I deny that slavery was evil to start with, and our ancestors who owned slaves were certainly not evil people simply because they owned slaves. That’s ridiculous. They were good, God-fearing people who did the best they could by their slaves. But we love and honor our ancestors because they are our fathers and mothers, and because God commands us to love and honor them, whether they were slave owners or not.
Daughter: “Thank you for talking to me about this, daddy! You gave me a lot to think about!”

“Interracial marriage should be mandatory for the next 100 years, or until we’re all the same shade of brown.”
This was part of a rant by the editor of The Babylon Bee. I’ll omit his name, because it is not my aim to shame him. We all say things that we later regret, and it is my hope that after his minstrel cycle has passed, his estrogen has stabilized, and he/she has had a large pumpkin spice latte, that they/them are doing better. We’ve all been there.
But to that statement.
I’d like to say he is the only one in the evangelical world that has articulated such a vile thought, but he is not. I’ve heard many evangelicals spew this devilish bile as if racial amalgamation was some kind of virtue. Understandably, the degenerates on the Left have these same genocidal outbursts all the time, and most sane people ignore them, as we should. Unfortunately, when it comes from those that name the name of Christ, we have to take notice (even if they’re masking their intentions under “satire” or “trolling”).
The Cambridge Dictionary defines genocide this way:
“The crime of intentionally destroying part or all of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, by killing people or by other methods.”
“By other methods” would certainly include, but not be limited to, miscegenation to the point of one monolithic and homogenous ethnicity. Such a campaign would re-establish the same culture that tried to build a tower to reach the throne of Jehovah. A culture for which God was so displeased, He came down from heaven and dispersed it all over the Earth, confusing the languages of men so that they could not easily commit these challenges to His rulership.
Obviously, Mr. Bee (we’ll use that term to shelter this lunatic) over at the Bee wasn’t serious in calling for the extinction of White people, or any other racial group, that would be crazy, and a clear violation of international law as described by the United Nations.
“In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
Let’s look at (c) and (d) on this list of crimes against humanity and see if any are applicable to Mr. Bee’s statement? Well, if you’re saying that the Caucasian race should be bred out of existence through force with a more melanin-rich race, that would cause its physical destruction and certainly meet the criteria of section (c). Section (d) is a little tricky, for births would still occur; however, it would eliminate births within a group, creating a completely different group. Therefore, cause the genocide of the original group. So, Mr. Bee’s sociopathic rant would also check the box for section (d).
If I’m understanding Mr. Bee correctly, he wants all ethnicities, racial groups, etc. to be homogeneous and then everyone would get along better. Except, he doesn’t want that for the ethnic/religious group that presently inhabits the land of Palestine, constituted as the modern state of Israel (how unsurprising). He is very clear that they get to keep their distinctiveness, because people have been malicious to them for no particular reason. No need to mention that said group is under the judgement of the Heavenly Father, because they were complicit in the execution of His only begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, but I digress.
Let’s clarify some basic biblical norms for the unwashed masses out there, as many of these commonly known verses have suddenly and conveniently disappeared out of Bibles over the last decade.
Nations were made by God (Genesis 11:1-9) and He made them for a specific reason, so that they may find Him, that they may grope their way to Him, as a cripple, or a blind man finding his way home in the darkness.
“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us “
Acts 17:26, 27
And nothing is more helpful in that search but a family, a tribe. We were meant to find Christ, not just as “rugged individualists” but with the help of our ethic community, our nations (read Matthew 28:19, 20).
At the end of the Age, we see the nations, preserved distinct by God, gathered round the Throne, singing to the Lamb of God (see Revelation 5:9).
Unlike many in the visible Church of Christ, which I suppose would include Mr. Bee, the writers at Identity Dixie do NOT want to see any nation, ethnicity, tribe, or tongue be vanquished from the creation of God. We want them preserved distinctly for His Glory.
It is our belief for a restored and separate homeland for our people, the Southern people, and it would be the best path to revival and a sincere turning to Christ. That we may fulfill the “Chief End of Man” accordingly, which is to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever, and to do that as a distinct nation among the nations of men.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

On February 1st, 1861, the Texas Secession Convention met in Austin and voted 166-7 in favor of leaving the Union. Just over three weeks later, on Feb. 24th, the good people and voters of the Lone Star State approved their late convention’s decision by a three-to-one margin, thus securing Texas’ place as the seventh in the order of States to secede.
Meanwhile, the provisional Confederate Congress met in Montgomery, Alabama, on the fourth day of the month, and organized the Confederate States of America (CSA). Four days later (Feb. 8th), the provisional Constitution for the CSA was unanimously adopted by that body at the same place. Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stevens were elected President and Vice-President of the CSA one day later, on Feb. 9th, just two days prior to the latter’s 49th birthday (11th). Although Mr. Davis’s election occurred on the 9th, the inauguration of the new president would be delayed until the 18th day of the month. Three days later (21st), Floridian Stephen R. Mallory was appointed Secretary of the virtually non-existent and never fully functional Confederate Navy.
Although there is no entry marking the event on my 1995 edition of the Confederate Calendar, the first day of the current month marks the 1873 death of one of America’s greatest benefactors, Matthew Fontaine Maury, known to history as the “Father of Oceanography” and Pathfinder of the Seas. It will likely come as news to many of you that then Captain Maury most assuredly received notification of Mallory’s appointment to the position of CSA Navy Secretary with a good deal of well-placed anxiety. Word of the appointment likely came to Maury via telegraph at the offices of the National Observatory in Washington D.C., where he continued to faithfully execute his duties as superintendent of that institution in lieu of further instructions from Governor Letcher across the Potomac in Richmond.
Maury’s biographer-daughter, Diana Fontaine Corbin, devoted the entirety of Chapter VIII of her book, A Life of Matthew Fontaine Maury, to what she describes in the chapter’s opening sentence as “the most painful and mortifying episode in [Maury’s] career.” Specific contents of the chapter combine to serve as ample explanation of the source of her father’s apprehension towards Mallory’s appointment mentioned above. As Mrs. Corbin later reveals, the “episode” of which she speaks was the infamous decision of the Navy Retiring Board to place one of the most eminent and world-renown men on this continent on their retired list of officers who were, without prior notice and without explanation, deemed unfit by the Board to fulfill their duties as naval officers. Maury was notified of his involuntary retirement by the then Secretary of the Navy, J.C. Dobbin, who wrote to Maury concerning the matter as follows (dated September 17th, 1855):
The Board of Naval Officers assembled under the Act to promote the efficiency of the Navy, approved Feb. 28th, 1855, having reported you as one of the officers who in their judgment should be placed on the Retired List on leave of absence pay, and the finding of the Board having been approved by the President, it becomes my duty to inform you that from this date you are removed from the Active Service List and placed on the Retired List on leave of absence pay. You are, however, not detached from the Naval Observatory. I avail myself of the authority of the law to direct that you continue on your present duty.
Although not a member of the “Retiring Board” in question, Stephen Mallory was nevertheless a powerful U.S. Senator and Chairman of that body’s Naval Affairs Committee at the time of these goings-on. Mrs. Corbin further writes in this connection that:
Senators Davis and Mallory, prominent advocates of the original Bill establishing the Retiring Board, both strongly opposed Maury’s reinstatement when a Bill praying for justice for those injured by the action of that Board was introduced into Congress. One afterwards became President of the Confederate States, and the other his Secretary of the Navy, and, both before and during the war, were inimical to Maury.
When word got out of Maury’s retirement by the Board, influential newspapers began to demand his immediate reinstatement to active service and promotion to the rank of Captain. However, these demands by the press and the general American public were not met until three years later (1858), and a primary reason for the delay was that Stephen Mallory (in combination with Jefferson Davis and others) used his position in the Senate and his chairmanship of the Naval Affairs Committee aforementioned to stifle and prevent both Maury’s reinstatement to active service and his promotion. Mrs. Corbin writes of this that “although restitution was made, and he was restored to the service and promoted by special Act of Congress, yet the iron entered into his soul.”
The Confederate “Gunboat Wars” that later ensued between Commander Maury, President Davis and Secretary Mallory were the ‘nail in the coffin’ so to speak, proving that Maury’s apprehensions upon his old nemesis, Stephen Mallory’s, appointment as Secretary of the Confederate Navy had not been misplaced. Two unpublished chapters in my book about Maury’s “Life and Times” combine to tell the story of these incidents in fuller detail. A “Civil War historian” named John Grady wrote and published an article in 2012 that tells the story of these incidents in less detail, but that is nonetheless factual and worthwhile reading. For those of you interested in Mr. Grady’s 2012 article just mentioned, it may be found here.
In closing this current edition of This Month in Confederate History, a few words will be devoted to the first receipt of federal prisoners at Andersonville prison camp, 27 February, 1864. At that early date, the walls of the prison yard had not yet been completed, therefore special measures were necessarily taken to ensure its inmates would not attempt escape. For a full and fair firsthand treatment of the subject of Andersonville and the horrible conditions that overcrowding and undernourishment would ultimately combine to heap upon its unfortunate prisoners, read Andersonville inmate James Madison Page’s 1908 book titled, The True Story of Andersonville Prison, A Defense of Major Henry Wirz.
As always many more events connected to This Month in Confederate History could be recited and discussed to greater or lesser extent. It is nevertheless hoped that those few events discussed are satisfactorily and well-received by the reader.
God bless you all, and may God bless and free the Southland!

For the last few days, I have been laughing at what I thought was a comedy skit or someone making a mockery of the transgender movement. This is the amount of diversity, inclusion, and transgender propaganda that we are currently facing. It is ludicrous that this is even in question. I commend anyone that wants to continue learning new things throughout their life. If someone wants to learn how to ice skate at 50, good for them.
This, however, is publicity for the sake of publicity, and is downright ridiculous. Markku-Pekka Antikainen is a 57-year-old Finnish man that has taken up figure skating (he started at the age of 49). Congrats to this guy for going outside his comfort zone; the sad part is that he now goes by the name Minna-Maaria Antikainen and believes he is a woman. He clearly has a mental disorder. This dude can stand up on skates about as long as a newborn fawn. The fawn at least figures it out and starts running around. This guy has been learning how to ice skate for the last several years and still can’t do it very well.
This is one of the reasons I thought this was initially a Saturday Night Live skit. I thought to myself, “Maybe SNL has a chance to be funny again.” Turns out, he barely skates in a circle, falls down, and a real female figure skater gives him a hand up.
This is more than just darkly humorous; it is also disgusting and demoralizing on a civilizational level. This man was selected to perform in front of people, and not in just some small-town event, but at the European Figure Skating Championships. Of course, this is something that a man or woman should be picked for based on their skill level alone, and zero other factors. It’s likely some poor Finnish girl, who spent years training, was bumped from this solo “performance” just so European progressives could virtue signal about how tolerate they are. In turn, some old, mentally ill man gets to degrade himself, his family, and his country.
The executive director of Finnish Figure Skating thought this would be a good way to show that it is not an elitist sport. When it comes to sports, generally speaking, it should be viewed from an elitist perspective. The talent of the individual should be the determining factor – you want elite athletes. Meanwhile, this transvestite is skating around (badly) pretending to be a woman and receiving praise for his “bravery.”
While this was a European event, it’s important for Southern Nationalists to remain aware of the West’s decline, even something as ridiculous as tranny figure skating. As the saying goes: if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.

Reading the history of the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s is fascinating for a number of reasons, but one reason that particularly stands out is just how close the period came to being completely disastrous. It was an era of high crimes rates, assassinations, and riots. The fact that it all came right after the optimism of the post-World War II era, putting an end to the “Second Era of Good Feelings,” was shocking, really world-shattering to the people who lived through it. It really is no wonder that the politics of the era continued to resonate for decades. But with all that being said, and for everything that happened, the Unites States never fell into a full bore, Spanish Civil War-style conflict. Several times throughout the time period it looked as if it could have easily happened.
The reasons as to why this never occurred are, as it often the case with history, multicausal. But one reason stands out and will be the subject of this article – both the Left and the Right were allowed to have significant victories, thereby defusing some of the tensions of the era. Some of the Left’s victories can be directly attributed to Richard Nixon. Perhaps the single greatest explanation why the Vietnam War protests became as violent as they did was because of the draft; it turned what may have been a conflict on the other side of the world into a personal issue for many young men. As badly as the Iraq War went, the protests against it never became nearly as violent as the protests against the Vietnam War. Nixon ended the draft, thus ending the panic many young men and their families felt. Furthermore, as the Vietnam War was winding down, the Left began to focus on environmental issues. Nixon responded by passing some of the first environmental protection laws in U.S. history. Responding to the rise of black nationalism, Nixon also greatly increased aid to black ghettos. Not all the Left’s wins were from Nixon, though. Coming to a head in 1968, one of the Left’s major gripes regarding the primary process was its undemocratic nature that gave a substantial amount of power in picking the nominee to a group of party bosses. Led by George McGovern, this was ended – and the reforms exists today and were eventually picked up by the Republicans. The Right, especially the Southern Right, was also provided tangible victories. Although home rule was crushed, Southerners were able to express their identity freely and openly. The Confederate flag still proudly flew throughout Dixie and the monuments remained. There were also several significant cultural phenomena that showcased the continued resilience of Southern identity – see bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, television shows like The Dukes of Hazzard, and movies like Smokey and the Bandit.
But the politics of today, despite all the similarities to the late 1960s and early 1970s, differs in one major respect – the Left is absolutely hellbent to deny the Right any victory, and the Right must come to terms with this. Support gay marriage but think reasonable accommodations should be created to protect religious traditionalists, as was largely promised in the 1990s and 2000s? Bake the cake, bigot! Support taking the Confederate flag from statehouses – as the Left claimed that’s all they wanted in the immediate wake of the Dylann Roof shooting – but think the monuments should stay up? You are still a neo-Confederate who should be unemployable. Oppose the bills to protect women’s bathrooms but think biological men playing female sports is a step too far and that children should wait until they are 18 to undergo life-altering surgery? You are still a mean transphobe. Remember, the Left recently went vigorously to bat for Cuties purely to spite the Right, there can be no compromise.
The Right must understand how utterly the Left hates them, and because of this hatred, they view the Right as an enemy that must be totally and completely defeated. They will go out of their way to deny the Right a victory, supporting things that they clearly and undeniably know are wrong. I understand that the Left’s wins in the immediate aftermath of the Vietnam War allowed them to get their foot in the door of mainstream politics, thus setting the stage for the insanity of today. Moreover, I strongly think that those that engaged in terrorism (Weather Underground, for example) should have been brought to justice and it is a shame this never happened on a larger scale. I can actually manage a cheer for the wins the Left was given in the years following Vietnam, or at least the ones I mentioned.
I would lean towards having a draft in a Free Dixie, as I think it would instill a greater sense of civic virtue in the population and, very importantly, would serve as a way to incentivize politicians to use war only as a last resort. That being said, considering current conditions, I am happy there is no draft in 2023. The more Southerners that can be kept out of the U.S. military, fighting their fellow Christians and a few Muslims for an empire that hates them, the better. I dislike much of the nature worship of the modern environmentalist movement, but I am a bit green. Grey and green go well together, and I hate the Yankee mentality that desires to put a strip mall everywhere and to squeeze every last dime from the land. As a practical matter, we need healthy black communities and neighborhoods. I think giving each ethnic group its own neighborhood that they are, more or less, allowed to manage is the best, most humane way for multi-ethnic empires to manage the tensions inherent within a multi-ethnic polity. And while I do understand that the reforms made to the primary process helped transform the party of the South to the party of abortion-on-demand, I also recognize that those same reforms helped make Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul, and Donald Trump all possible. We certainly would have been left with no alternative to Bush I, McCain, and Jeb! otherwise. Those campaigns helped lay the groundwork for the rise of the Dissident Right. I doubt we would have even gotten Ronald Reagan had it not been for those reforms, instead landing Gerald Ford again. But the Left will give us no such slack, we are their mortal enemies and must be defeated.
Once the Right understands this, it must assure that the Left’s insistence on absolute victory winds up becoming a good thing. Imagine, if in 2015, the Left had taken a different strategy. Imagine they got behind a religious freedom bill with actual teeth in the wake of Obergefell. Imagine if, after the Dylann Roof shooting, the Left called for the Confederate flag to be removed from the statehouses but supported the monuments remaining and resisted calls for an all-out cultural genocide of Dixie. Imagine if the Left opposed the bathroom bills but recognized that men should not play in women’s sports and that children should not be drug into this. Would life be easier? Sure, at least for now. The Dissident Right would not have been forced to rise to combat a movement hellbent on the destruction of the West; but in many ways, as was the case in the late 1960s and early 1970s, it would have kicked the can down the road for a future generation. Imagine an alternate history where the Left, in the wake of the destruction of home rule, launched a genocidal war against Dixie, as they did in 2015. Had they done that in 1970, they would have been up against a far healthier – demographically, physically, and spiritually – Dixie.
The task of Southern Nationalists must be to take advantage of how far the Left has gone and how badly they’ve overplayed their hand. The events of the past few years shows that there can be no compromise. Under these conditions, a union is impossible; thus, Southern Nationalism becomes the only viable solution to have a decent Christian order in the South. Had the Left restrained itself to a greater degree since 2015, even if they were only biding their time, this would have been a more difficult argument to make. As it stands now, they made it for us.

I consider myself highly proficient at tabletop exercises. For example, I’ve become adept at defeating a six-year-old at both Candy Land and Chutes & Ladders. The keys to victory are a ruthless mentality and not letting her do the counting. So, you can learn things from playing these sorts of games. Still, this has its limits.
A former comrade of mine ascending the ranks recently posted a photo of himself participating in a tabletop war game at a think tank. This same individual contends that if America hadn’t saved the world from Hitler in WW2, we’d all be speaking German right now. How someone with an extensive military education could surmise that a nation the size of Texas, and without much of a navy, could conquer the USA is baffling.
However, it makes perfect sense when you realize we’re now attempting to rack up decade #3 of spectacular debacles. Perhaps we won’t reach that milestone. Sometime soon, you might be working out in the yard when you see a sudden flash or perhaps feel a warm glow on the back of your neck and that’ll be it.

I’ve got an idea! Just leave the fat boy alone. If every military adventure upon which we embark ends in disaster, one might reasonably conclude that we should simply desist from the practice. Good luck getting anything more than a single gold bar on your shoulder with that mentality. You see, American military excellence stems from the fact that we play games in conference rooms until we get our strategies right. That’s what geniuses at these think tanks do in order to formulate their brilliant suggestions.

If the first paper turned out to be completely bogus, why solicit a second? Do you know how much this shit costs? That’s basically what’s going on with the whole Ukraine thing right now. The geniuses came up with a brilliant plan to start a proxy war on Russia’s doorstep. This would drag it into a quagmire that would justify sanctions to collapse its economy in order to foment domestic chaos and conflict which would presumably kill millions of its citizens. This would culminate in the breakup of the nation into digestible entities. Then, China would be next. Without Russian energy exports in particular, it would be a very precarious position. Voila! Global domination is finally achieved.
I’m sure this all played out rather smoothly in various conference rooms. The problem is that war isn’t a game, and these expert strategists are actually imbeciles. So, it’s all ending in unmitigated disaster and the only place for it to go in an escalatory sense is nuclear apocalypse. They’ve now gamed out that they need to mitigate the disaster by making some disingenuous concessions to the credulous Russians in order to put the conflict on hold to be revived later. This frees up Uncle Sam to go straight for China’s throat.

If this strikes you as rather disconcerting, well that’s why you’re a stupid redneck while they’re the experts. They can smell you at Walmart, trust me. I guess that in these games, they leave out the part where China also has a massive nuclear arsenal. It’s all really quite bizarre because it’s America doing the squawking about war, not the Chinese.
I follow the Chinese language media. They’re reacting to provocations in a very restrained manner and genuinely don’t want a conflict. They’ve put up with being repeatedly humiliated to avoid one just like Putin did before he couldn’t take it anymore. It’s like Uncle Sam is slapping them in the face while wailing that they’re trying to start a fight with him. Only one tiny group of humans does this infuriating and absolutely perplexing maneuver and they’re not Asian.
The Taiwanese are become increasingly alarmed that they’re going to be turned into the next Ukraine, a concern which manifested itself in their midterm elections last fall. Much of the island’s net worth is tied up on the mainland and millions of them are working there right now. A conflict would turn them into a failed state before they even got flattened. They really don’t want this either.
It’s all quite insane, but there’s a logic to everything. The people (they attend religious services on Saturday) who formulate these objectives are above criticism and accountability or even honest acknowledgment of who they are and what they’re seeking. They can only go forward and faster. Their lackeys in the military and defense establishment hold their esteemed positions because they’ll go along with anything no matter how stupid and reckless. It’s all going to get much worse and it doesn’t matter what anyone else has to say about it.

John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories fascinate me due to how varied they are and how well they cut across the Left and the Right. Although some conspiracy theories are only found on the Left (Russiagate) and some are only found on the Right (birtherism), JFK assassination conspiracy theories, much like 9/11, cut across the Left/Right divide – Oliver Stone may reject the lone gunman theory, but so does Alex Jones. In fact, the earliest conspiracy theory came from the Left, emerging in the immediate aftermath of Kennedy’s death: that Kennedy was shot by a cabal of Southern segregationists. As the story goes, this cabal killed Kennedy under the premise that Lyndon Baines Johnson, a Texan, would never support a civil rights bill, unlike the Yankee Kennedy. Within a few months of Johnson taking over the presidency, this theory died out as Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act and a year later signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, effectively ending home rule for Dixie. Needless to say, if Kennedy really was assassinated by sinister Southerners, it was one of the greatest self-sabotages in history. And while the theory that Johnson had “something” to do with Kennedy’s death survived, the Southern-inspired assassination theory died out.
Still, Johnson’s actions should be examined in light of this particular conspiracy theory. Yankee leftists in November 1963 may have been overstating their case that a Southerner in the White House would mean no civil rights bill, the truth is even more blunt – a serious case can be made that had Kennedy never been assassinated, the 1964 and 1965 bills would never have been passed, at least not in the forms they were, likely being significantly watered-down instead. This is not a defense of John F. Kennedy, if he could have, he would have ended Southern home rule, too. But the problem was he did not have the acumen to get either of those bills through Congress, especially the Senate.
To understand why, one must acknowledge how the Senate worked in those days. Because each state is given two senators, rural states are given a larger say (proportionally). This provided a built-in advantage to a largely rural Dixie, but Southerners worked to make this advantage even greater by working hard to create several generations of Southern senators who expertly knew Senate procedure backwards and forwards, and would use this knowledge to thwart any threat to home rule. Dixie was so adept at this that the Senate was often called “The South’s revenge for Appomattox.” Kennedy, coming from the world of Yankee politics, did not have the knowhow to usher either bill through the Senate, and my reading of the relationship between Kennedy and Johnson was tense enough that I doubt he would have just farmed it off to Johnson. Kennedy would have wanted his own political victory.
But Johnson did have that expertise. Coming from Southern politics, Johnson was raised to learn all he could about Senate procedure to protect home rule, both for his native Texas and the South. Instead, he became a turncoat. Even if JFK had signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Southerners still would have been angry with him. But, at the end of the day, Kennedy would have been just another damn Yankee. Johnson was something more – he was a traitor – and Dixie, like most sane societies, considers a traitor to be worse than an open enemy. Dixie was so proficient at using the Senate to protect home rule it would have taken one of her own sons to end it, and that is exactly what happened.
To make matters worse, LBJ should have known better than most on the importance of home rule, and what Southerners sacrificed to win it. Lyndon Baines Johnson was born in 1908. Confederate veterans, although very old, were still alive when he was a boy. Their slightly younger countrymen could have, and most certainly did, tell the young Johnson vivid stories of the suffering during Reconstruction and how valiantly Southerners fought to protect their country and way of life. Johnson knew just how much sacrifice Southerners made to achieve home rule, and by entering politics, he was accepting a duty to do all he could to keep those gains. Instead, he helped break home rule, doing something that no Yankee president had been able to do, and one that his immediate predecessor would have been unlikely to achieve.
Johnson’s rationale for what he did must be reviewed, as there was no serious indication when he was in either the House or the Senate that he would use his considerable political skill to upend the South. To be sure, part of it was his overabundance of wild ambition. After he became president, Johnson wanted to create his own legacy, one that would rank him as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history. But that is only part of the explanation. At the heart of the matter is this – Johnson was a Southerner who internalized the commands of his conquerors. Dixie was backwards, and he would bring her into the modern world. The fact is, although Johnson was a Southerner, he had the Texas drawl to prove it, by the time he became president he viewed Dixie largely along Yankee terms: as a recalcitrant and ignorant region (rather than a nation of its very own) and one full of violence and religious fanaticism and in need of Yankee correction, enlightenment, and rule. Johnson even went a step further and went out of his way to no longer present himself as a Southerner, but more along “Western” lines. Johnson internalized the Yankee mind. He accepted the commands of his conquerors and, as a result, used his undeniable talent to do the one thing the Yankee Empire had never been able to do before – break home rule.
As much as Yankees like to view Southerners as stupid hicks, it is important for us to remember that we have produced some of the most astute politicians to ever live. For several generations, Dixie was able to produce men who could learn complex Senate procedure like the back of their hand and preserve what their ancestors had so bravely fought and died for. One of those men was Lyndon Baines Johnson. But instead of standing with those who came before him, he broke ranks and became Dixie’s Judas. And while there are many reasons why this happened, the foundational reason is this – somewhere down the line he adopted the Yankee way of looking at his own country.
And, this is why Southern Nationalism is so important. It seeks to install a sense of pride in the hearts of young Southerners for being Southern, and so that they will not fall into the same trap that Lyndon Johnson did. Restoring that sense of pride, and teaching Southerners to reject Yankee lies about their own nation, is at the very foundation toward freeing our land. One Southerner who internalized the commands of his conquerors ended home rule, a generation of Southerners who have been taught to reject those Yankee edicts will help Dixie take her place among the nations of the world.

Dixie is, unquestionably, a unique ethno-cultural region within the greater American Empire. Our shared history, identity, folkways, etc. makes us distinct. However, there are some people in other regions, indeed also within Dixie herself, who ask: “Do all these things really make us a separate nation? Should we really try to separate from the rest of America, with whom we also share common blood and history?” At first glance, these questions may make one hesitate. After all, a DNA test of a random Southerner could very well look the same as a random White American from elsewhere.
Nothing unites a similar, but disunited, people more than a common adversary. This is historically how warring tribes have managed to put aside their squabbles and unite into bigger polities. This is what happened when the competing American colonies seceded from Great Britain. Our own Southern identity was birthed during the struggle against the federal government, and really took concrete form after 1865, when States that had been internally divided now stood solidly against a humiliating occupation. This certainly gives Dixie a stronger claim of “separateness” with its own nationality when compared to other regions.
Yet couldn’t this same logic be applied to our struggle today? All (real) Americans are facing demographic replacement at the behest of an anti-White coalition: turncoats, non-Christians, degenerates, and other assorted malcontents of varying shades of brown. We all observe the same rhetorical White-bashing in the media, and literal White-bashing in the streets. We’re all dealing with rising inflation. We’ve all seen family or friends struggle with drug abuse or mental illness. Anyone with a brain can observe our civilization collapsing in slow-motion.
Common adversary, common race, and common struggle. All the elements are seemingly there to unite Heritage Americans back into one big happy family. Heck, you could even say Canada meets the criteria, too, if you’re dreaming big enough. Another attempt at a “more perfect Union” may seem like the right solution to pursue.
However, there’s a major problem with this line of thinking. If Dixie were cut loose from federal control, we would undoubtedly get our own affairs in order. The same can’t be said of other regions within the Empire. There are no guarantees that places like New York or California will shape themselves into entities that would be friendly to Dixie. It would be foolish and potentially fatal to shackle ourselves to a solution which may never manifest, no matter how appealing the idea of a North American Imperium sounds (in theory). These other places will have to fix their own problems before we can entertain future possibilities. Race is important, but culture matters, too.
I, for one, am all for unity and good feelings among White nations. A new political arrangement based on mutual respect and a shared worldview is possible, but Dixie can only make this choice once we are a free nation, secure from coercion, and, if necessary, able to go our own way. Whatever comes later, secession is the very first step!

It’s always helpful to see memes like this one to remember that you are not going crazy.
It is just the elites that are gaslighting you:
Quite the about-faceMost other mainstream media followed suit.
They have been doing this with a lot of topics lately. I have been noticing it especially with all the athletes dropping dead. Apparently, that is completely normal now.
Ditto with the new “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome“, that is totally not new at all according to the mainstream. It is completely normal for adults to just drop dead, apparently.
The media are making it seem like adults have been dropping dead for no reason at all our entire lifetimes. That is called gaslighting, which means to make someone question reality or their memory/sanity.
I know it is overplayed, but it is identical to the Ministry of Truth as described decades ago in Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Our ruling class just pivots narratives, pretends that the new narrative was always normal, and proclaims that anyone that doubts it is crazy.
But we’re not crazy. We’re aware. We can watch them do this in real time now, given the short attention spans of most people that allow them to do this within a two-day time period.
It’s not just media, however. The same thing is evident in the scientism community.
For example, gaslighting was and still is all the rage with the climate change cultists.
Remember the “vanishing ozone layer“, that is now actually stronger? Remember the “no more polar bears” and “melting ice caps” that have stable populations or grown larger?
What about one of my favorites—The “no snow by 2020” argument? How is that one going?
Certain places in the United States just had record snow levels in 2022But lest you think this was an old mantra from the early 2000s and 2010s, I did a quick search and stumbled upon dozens of articles within the last year that are still yelping about a “no snow” future.
Here is one from Dec 2021, for instance, that hypothesizes a “no snow” California. At least they move their doomsday projection out further (2050) than their predecessors, which allows them to gaslight for longer. But the concept is still the same.
Never trust anything they say. Their entire purpose is to manipulate us, so we question our memories and perceptions with their narrative. Do not let them. And help others by pointing out their lies.
Regardless of the struggle, we should be thankful that our rulers sure don’t gaslight nearly as well as the Ministry of Truth did. Our leader’s failures are obvious.
They sure aren’t sending their best.

Every time we turn around, someone is asking the writers at Identity Dixie when are we going to reveal the secret plan, or publish a new manifesto? I understand their urgency, and I sympathize with these wonderful souls and the need to have it all spelled out. It’d be real nice to have a bullet point presentation, charts and graphs, with a mapping system to evaluate how this path to sovereignty is going to all work out.
Well, if you come real close, so it’s just you and me and no one else is listening, I’m going to whisper something in your ear. Come close now. The secret plan has already been modeled, and it’s right there in front of your eyes. If you’re from Texas asking these questions, you’ll be shocked but not surprised by the unfolding of this magnificent plan.
Any good strategy starts with the right questions. So, how do you go from a dream to implementation? How do you build excitement for something so ridiculous that no one would believe you if you told them it could be done? And then, how do you spread that dream, that excitement, so when it finally is right before you, it still mesmerizes in its simplicity?
Well, it all started with a beaver, that’s right, son. This new strategy to capture the hearts and minds of the Southern people marched right out of Texas on the back of a big-toothed beaver. Now, hear me out, it’ll all make sense in a minute. The Buc-ee’s colony model is the path to retake everything!
If you’ve never been to a Buc-ee’s, just ask your Texas kinfolk, or friends, but make sure you got a minute, because they are going to be so excited, like a Baptist preacher finding a completely filled out visitor card in the offering plate. Nothing is going to take that smile off their face until the good news has been spread!
Let me explain. Buc-ee’s is a fillin’ station. That’s right, just a gas station. Well, if a gas station was the size of a small Walmart, and with the cleanest restrooms you’ve ever had the privilege of conducting your business. I think they have about a million fuel pumps at each location, and probably about a billion items you can buy in their store, from brisket to beaver nuggets, and kolaches to klobasniky (I still can’t pronounce these things, but they must be good). And, I’m not even attempting to list all the varieties of jerky. Hell, everything essential to life and happiness is right inside.
Now, here’s how it relates to retaking everything for Dixie. Buc-ee’s started with just one store, perfected it, and then expanded. Along the way, they narrowed their message, but expanded their product line, appealing to folks looking for something just a little more special. Overloading the senses of their patrons in such a fantastic way, it made them feel at home and they never wanted to leave. Then, when they had so saturated their original market, they started to expand, damming up the stream of customers, and collecting them around an inflated illuminated beaver all over the South.
Each time a new beaver outpost was established, Buc-ee’s customers were so excited they became missionaries, heralding messengers all over Dixie. To build even more anticipation for these coming colonies, prophetic messages populated interstate billboards announcing the eminent arrival of the next outpost. If you drove by a future station, you could see those little beaver helpers building their new colony; and even if you had little interest or expectation at first, the closer it got to completion, the more curious you became. Then, all of a sudden, it arrived, and your curiosity got the best of you – you were hooked. Now you can’t believe how you ever lived without this roadside utopia.
This is how we are building a Free South; you could say we are as busy as a beaver!
We started small, we are clarifying our message to our target audience, and expanding our product line (stay turned). We are exceeding the expectations of our customer base, and it is enlarging exponentially. Our message is showing up in places that had not entertained the thought of such a thing as sovereignty for Dixie. Secession and nullification, once distasteful to the average political consumer, are now the go-to items on the political menu, just like the juicy beef brisket at Buc-ee’s.
When exposed to the Southern Nationalist brand, more and more Southerners are exiting off the globalist highway. They are making a hard right turn into our outposts, refueling their souls, their minds, and finding the satisfaction and comfort of a political philosophy designed just for their longing. They are coming home.
Now, I’m just being a little silly comparing the marketing strategy of a gas station to a Free Dixie. But, is it really that outrageous of a notion?
Well, I’ll talk to y’all later. I’m hungry for beaver nuggets, and my car needs some 93 octane, ethanol free gas, and we all need a Free Dixie.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

You can understand history, or you can trust the government – but you can’t do both. This is a statement that Southerners have understood for more than a century. Those that have served the American Empire in its futile military escapades are usually in tune with this sentiment. Of course, I don’t trust the government. I was the government. As the popular insurance slogan goes, “I know a thing or two because I’ve seen a thing or two.” It’s a common quote that veterans will rattle off when they’re asked about their faith in the government. We all know the victors write the narrative and usually the highlighted or “justifiable” reason for any endeavor that took place is less than truthful. Usually, the righteousness of any imperial campaign is only a sliver of the reason, or completely made up, as to why the Empire’s involvement was even necessary. Most of the deployments to the Balkans (former Yugoslavia) had more to do with failed CIA operations than any sort of humanitarian reason. The article by a Kentuckian in Kosovo is a good example of what happens when the Empire interferes in the affairs of others.
What used to be considered a “tin foil hat” mindset has become more and more a reality. I was recently reminded of Operation Northwoods that was released to the public in 1997, where the CIA suggested creating terrorist attacks inside the United States and blaming them on Cuba. The purpose was to galvanize the country – instead of the Feds trying to sell a war with Cuba to the American people, the people would demand it.
Operation Northwoods involved an airplane shot down by “Cubans.” The plane would take off and then land at Eglin AFB, where it would be swapped with a drone plane and then shot down while close to Cuban airspace. The drone plane would send out Mayday signals stating it was under attack by MiG aircraft. In turn, this would cause media outlets to draw their own conclusions. Next, there would be foiled hijacking attempts by Cuban nationals that would lead the public to even more outrage.
Another way that the shadow government would create chaos was by creating a terror campaign. There was a planned communist “Cuban terror campaign” to take place in Miami, Florida. There would be strategically placed bombs, as well as, attempts on the lives of Cuban refugees. The media would be encouraged to highly publicize any wounding or deaths that happened during such events. There would also be the arrest of Cuban agents and timed releases of prepared documents substantiating Cuban involvement and a projection of the irresponsibility of the Cuban leaders, too.
Another important step of Northwoods was to blow up a Navy ship near Guantanamo Bay, so that we could focus on remembering the loss of American life and making sure the American people “never forgot” what happened. The plan was designed to ensure that the public would unite as a country and swell with patriotic pride.
Military bases would have to suffer slightly, there would be mortar attacks and sabotaged aircraft, and ammo depots might explode in very questionable circumstances. Operation Northwoods was made mostly mainstream after the 9/11 attacks. In turn, its release started planting the seeds that terrorist attacks by “our own government” were plausible and even actually considered during the 1960s. At that time, I still laughed and made my own tin foil hat jokes.
Thankfully, Northwoods was shot down by John F. Kennedy. But, it was supported by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. So, it had the backing from top-ranking military officers, as well as, shadow government officials. If ever there had been men with moral fortitude in the Imperial City, those days are long gone and the thoughts of any current official at the federal level having virtuous convictions is sketchy at best. I stand clearly against and rebuke any government that would consider such action. The Empire is not my government, and has not been for many years now.
Secession is the only answer to protect ourselves against the corrupt and unethical ruling-class of the American Empire. Secession was once considered a conspiracy theory and now it has grown from more than just a whisper and is reaching acceptance by many. We must keep moving forward through open discussion and continued proof that staying united is a deadly mistake.

Whereas Jim Crow laws and segregation stand as the imminent sin of White Southerners, egregiously little actual discussion is conducted concerning its genesis. Relegated to nothing more than Caucasian bigotry from all classes designed to maliciously oppress Negroes immediately following the end of Reconstruction, de facto segregation catalyzed in a far more complex situation as a result of numerous conflicting factors. This essay seeks to provide clarity on the topic of the origins of Jim Crow voting and segregation laws.
First and foremost of the Jim Crow topic, social segregation developed organically at first but artificially in the end. Naturally, White and Negro Southerners began the process of self-segregation in some social activities and locales. The most notable examples of this de facto segregation occurred within churches and schools. Despite this, quite a great deal of social interaction and intimacy took place between the two nations of people. In fact, numerous Yankees found it astonishing just how intimate the relationship of the two folk could be. New England abolitionist Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson traveled to Virginia, South Carolina, and Florida to investigate injustices enacted upon the Freedmen in 1878. Astonished at the conditions of peace between Whites and Blacks, he pondered as to whether there may have been sinister plots in the shadows to re-enslave the Freedmen. He found no evidence of such baleful schemes and said, “I can assert that, carrying with me the eyes of a tolerably suspicious abolitionist, I saw none of these indications.” Comparing the situation in the South to that of his native New England, Higginson stated, “How can we ask more of the states formerly in rebellion than that they should be abreast of New England in granting rights and privileges to the colored race? Yet this is now the case in the three states I name; or at least if they fall behind at some points, they lead at some points.” Sir George Campbell, a member of British Parliament, traveled across the region with the intention of observing race relations in 1879 and claimed that “the humblest Black rides with the proudest White on terms of perfect equality, and without the smallest symptom of malice or dislike on either side. I was, I confess, surprised to see how completely this is the case; even an English Radical is a little taken aback at first.” This social intimacy was not to last, though. Numerous political and legal developments during the 1880s, 1890s, and 1900s irreparably soured the amicable, even intimate, relations between the two races.
Legislative actions enforcing public segregation would not begin until 1890 with the passage of Louisiana’s Separate Car Act; however, there had been a lengthy buildup to the law. Beginning in the 1870s, passenger trains started to segregate their cars. In addition, the separation of the public interaction of Whites and Negroes increasingly became custom in larger cities, Atlanta, Georgia being a notable example. Social segregation developed so stringently within urban areas due to numerous factors and circumstances of the time. The accumulation of poorer rural White and Negro movement into the cities, the various populist movements of the late 19th century, the horrors of Reconstruction, the New South activism and racialism of Henry Woodfin Grady, public transportation, and other relating issues spurned the movement.
The second defining characteristic of Jim Crow laws, and legally the most impactful, consisted of voter restrictions and regulations. Contrary to the historic misinformation purported within American education facilities and the media, Black voting rights did not face impediment until the 1890s, and even then, the phrasing of the litigation did not directly inhibit them from voting. To correct the historiographic record, voting restrictions manifested as a result of the agrarian populist movements of the 1870s and 1880s. In states such as Mississippi, where the Negro population comprised a significant proportion of the population of the state, or in Mississippi’s case the majority, it was exceedingly difficult for rural Whites’ voice to be heard. The Southern elite, or Bourbon Democrats, utilized the large Black populations in the South to outvote the rural Whites by claiming to protect them from the feral rural “rednecks” while also telling rural Whites that they should vote Bourbon to prevent Negro rule from returning. Nowhere else did this ring more true than in the Magnolia State. Whites caught on to this, and desperate for political, social, and economic reform, they grew disillusioned with the Bourbons, many of whom comprised the Redeemers who saved Dixie from Republican Reconstruction. The conservative minded Bourbons had grown corrupt shortly after Reconstruction’s end and did little to improve the region following the ousting of their Yankee conquerors.
It was this phenomenon which drove the rednecks outside of the Delta to call for a restriction on Negro voting and a new state constitution. Eventually, the populism outcry grew so loud and fervent that the Mississippi legislature capitulated and drafted and adopted a new state constitution in 1890. This marked the beginning of Jim Crow voter laws in the South by introducing poll taxes and literacy tests, and the rest of Dixie began following this pattern of adopting Jim Crow constitutions between 1890 and 1908 in what was known as the second Mississippi Plan. However, and much to the dismay of the agrarian Southern Whites, this particular constitution, while restricting some Negroes from voting, also served to greatly disfranchise much of the poor Whites of the state. As such, many Negroes in Mississippi and Dixie as a whole continued to vote until 1896. 1896 marked the true wholesale vacating of the Negro voters from the polls and ballots. In that year, South Carolina, under the leadership of agrarian populist Senator and former Governor Benjamin Tillman, adopted a law legalizing White-only primaries, parallel to its adoption of a Jim Crow constitution. Following this, every Southern state adopted White primaries from 1896 to 1906. These new constitutions and primary election laws bolstered the burgeoning populism of the time and gave rise to a new era of Southern politics. This allowed for superlative Southern statesmen to rise to power throughout the 20th century, even after the thwarting of these laws at the behest of the Supreme Court of the United States starting in the 1940s. Several of these imminent men included Theodore Bilbo and James Vardaman of Mississippi, Benjamin Tillman and Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, Jim Jones Sr. and George Wallace of Alabama, Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, Huey Long Sr. of Louisiana, Allan Shivers of Texas, Harry Byrd Sr. of Virginia, and several others too numerous to quantify.
In conclusion, Jim Crow’s reign was ushered in under a plethora of compounding social and political factors. Though emerging parallel to each other, voter laws and public segregation were not necessarily a result of the same congruent problem. However, they did emerge from the same cauldron of pitiable misfortunes. Unfortunately, this history has been all but completely erased, and very few modern Southern elders appear interested at all in passing down Southern history orally. It is a shame Dixie succumbed to the racial turmoil the way it did; however, it cannot be objectively stated that the White Southerners were the villains regarding Jim Crow laws. In reality, they and the Negroes were mere victims of a dark, macabre, grim era of military conquest, hierarchical inversion, economic instability, industrialization, indigence, social revolution, and political corruption.

It is impossible to describe the beauty of my Florida. It is something you simply must experience. Whether by means of a meandering drive or a walk in a small town, Florida cannot be understood through amusement parks in Orlando, sports venues in Tampa, or the beaches of the Panhandle. My country must be felt under your feet and in your heart.
My Florida roads are not the impersonal interstates of federal engineering. They are roads well-worn by cattlemen and Seminole who preceded me. As I drive from east to west, my car wanders through canopies of old oaks covered in Spanish moss interrupted by herds of cattle or horses grazing. Large farms converge upon small towns with a single white church steeple at the intersection of two-lane roads. Florida flags adorn homes with chickens and palm trees in their front yards. The highways in my Florida have more ads sharing the Salvation of Jesus Christ than the latest thing. There are turtles in the roads with few people alongside them. There is not a trace of urban rot or Washington intrusion in my Florida. My country is wholesome.
My Florida can be an unforgiving place. She is a dance between beauty and violence. Off the coasts of our magnificent white sandy beaches are sharks of all types, often hungry for a taste of a young swimmer. Hidden behind beautiful cypress trees and palm fronds lay alligators in our swamps. Many bodies have disappeared in those murky dens of despair. Our children play in manicured backyards that house rattlesnakes near the mulch. The little ones know the distinct sound of a rattle and how to avoid them. Woe unto the young foreign Yankee whose ears know not the sound until it is too late. Should he survive the strike of a snake, he may not survive the weather. Looking up to the stunning skylines we enjoy in the mornings, they warn us of hurricanes and tornadoes that come annually. You have never seen a more beautiful dusk than that which can be seen from a Florida beach after a hurricane has swept past your home. My country is beautifully dangerous.
My Florida was once a haven for all sorts of rogues, pirates, and fugitives. Those who could make their way across the Okefenokee Swamp or through Haulover Inlet often earned shelter from the long arm of the law. Stories abound of pirates in the coves of the Western shore or Eastern waterways. Swashbuckling Floridians once exploited the protective rivers that provided opportunities to attack merchant vessels. Many ships litter the coastlines; some sank under the Union Jack while others under skull and bones. Intrepid Southerners once used the swamps and rivers of North Florida to escape lawmen from other states. Many of those criminals went on to become “Cracka’” cowboys. Many others found themselves dead at the hands of a Floridian for attempting to do that which led them to flee into Florida in the first place. Baker and Columbia counties were known to have obese gators in the late 1800s. My country is violent.
My Florida is comprised of many old men doing old men things. You can find old Cubans in the south of my country, smoking cigars, drinking coffee, and playing chess. You can find old black men sitting outside telling stories to one another in a form of Southern dialect that is quite foreign to you or me. You can find old White men in the north of my country, sitting at worn out tables, discussing the weather, the crops, and the women. My country is old and relaxed.
My Florida has plenty of little children and young families trying to grow in a complex world. We do not teach them how to be gay or hate themselves in our schools. My country outlawed that noise. We let our children be children. The thousands of parks and beaches that adorn my country are filled with the laughter of little kids and the exhaustion of their parents. I can watch them discover sharks’ teeth at the shores or Indian arrowheads at the bottom of crystal-clear springs. I can hear them giggling. I can see their footprints in the sand. My country is young and vibrant.
My Florida is vast. She is ecologically and agriculturally diverse. She has the most coastline in the continental United States. My country is number one in the production of bred-to-beef cattle and seafood. We have twenty-one commercial ports. She ranks in the top five of citrus, non-citrus fruit, and vegetable production. Her top trades include aeronautical production, agriculture, and, of course, tourism. My country is rich.
My Florida has many suffering citizens. Beset upon by federal policies that ensure the proliferation of opioids and methamphetamine, there is a lot of pain in my country. The rural poor in the center of my country are often forgotten by the mega churches in nearby suburban enclaves. Those Christians fly far away to take care of other people, while my people suffer in silence a mere drive away. The sorrows of my people are ignored while the federal government cares for their replacements from other lands. My country weeps in poverty.
My Florida is not a wasteland of urban cesspools comprised of degenerate filth. My Florida is not Yankee retirees in their golf-course McMansions. My Florida is not a stomping ground for itinerant illegal interlopers. My Florida is not Mickey Mouse and false-rainbow flags. My Florida is not retirement homes comprised of elderly people abandoned by their families to the care of indifferent strangers. My country is better than those who simply use my country without care.
My Florida is wonderful and exciting. My Florida is naturally pretty. My Florida is my heart and home. My Florida is beautiful. My Florida deserves to be free.

There’s an old saying that, in politics, nothing happens by accident. It is all planned out by sleazy characters in smoke-filled back rooms. I think there’s a fair amount of truth in that.
We had just reached the point where Joe Biden was beginning to sweat over all the classified stuff he had cached in various places when an unlikely “savior” in the form of Mike Pence charged into the room to take some of the heat off him. It now turns out that Mike Pence also had some classified documents turn up at his home. There was a photo of Pence’s home on Fox News, and it is a mansion just like Biden’s house is. These folks who want to run our lives for us sure know how to live well!
When I saw the news item about documents being found at Pence’s home, my first thought was “How convenient for Joe Biden.” It’s interesting that Pence does not seem overly worried about being prosecuted for this. Has he been assured he need have no worries about that?
According to the New York Post, Hunter Biden had access to classified documents. Here is a guy who consorts with prostitutes and uses crack, and yet he has access to classified documents! Yet, he was clearly out of control at the time! Hunter wrote about things he should not have known about. So, the question arises – did Biden use those classified documents to enrich his family? The company, Burisma, paid Hunter Biden over $80,000 a month for not much of anything. Why? Hunter leveraged classified information from “Dad” to do business in Ukraine according to Miranda Devine, the author of Laptop from Hell.
It is also noteworthy that some big banks are making money off “rebuilding Ukraine.” You can make lots of money “the Ukrainian way” which is via corruption! BlackRock and JPMorgan have cozied up to Zelensky. Decades ago, General Smedley Butler said, “War is a racket.” How right he was! You have to wonder who else besides Mike Pence will be brought in to give Biden a bit of a respite. Maybe by now the Deep State figures Biden has gotten the message about not running in 2024 and so they are giving him a breather. I’ve often wondered about Mike Pence. There were times when he seemed slightly less than enthusiastic about what Trump was trying to accomplish, at least to me.
The Deep State goes lots deeper than just those obvious socialist Democrats most of us know about. It also has deep roots in the Republican Party. Always remember, no matter what their party affiliation, the Deep Staters are working to do this country and our way of life in.

One of the core goals of Southern Nationalism is effectively a retrenchment. What do I mean? No one on the political Right is going to convince a leftist that they are wrong. You may get occasional cultural or religious epiphanies, such as a new mom suddenly realizing why abortion is wrong, but the goals of the Left are framed in a twisted definition of moral high ground. They deeply hate everything you believe because to them, your beliefs are immoral and “violent.” Thus, you are immoral and a threat.
You must be eliminated. You, the well-intentioned White conservative, cannot do anything about this growing pool of the American public. They’ve been indoctrinated to hate you for decades. Any attempt to save them is hopeless. Consequently, the blue state leftists are not going to swing to the Right. They will remain leftist and grow more leftwing.
Compounding this problem is the recognition that minority groups have their own interests, and they are not your own. Hispanics, for example, may share some common beliefs with White conservatives, but they are not going to vote for positions that empower your people or even hold the status quo. Voting in Latin America has always been a zero-sum game, whereby the political parties seek to permanently eliminate the other. Power sharing, as we had in these United States for centuries, is foreign to Hispanics. There is no interest in “working across the aisle.”
Meanwhile, blacks and Asians are on an anti-White revenge tour. Neither group is interested in working with you to achieve a better Anerica because they define a better America as one that does not include White people. The occasional “based black guy” is an anomaly. The Asian who smiles at you also harbors deep-seated resentments driven by a shame culture that was once subjugated by European peoples. This is why, despite the fact that most Democrat policies harm highly functioning Asian-Americans, Asians overwhelmingly vote for leftist political actors. Defeating Whites is the goal shared by both blacks and Asians, despite the fact that the parties hate each other.
The numbers simply do not favor conservative Whites in these United States as it is currently construed. The combination of Far Left Whites in primarily White Northern states – from Oregon to Maine – coupled with Asians, blacks, and Hispanics who view Whites as competitors, is a dangerous position within which we find ourselves. Why remain in a union with White blue states that empower our racial or ethnic antagonists who happen to be closer to us than them?
Texas is overwhelmed with illegal Mestizos. Most Southern states have black populations that are double the national average. Asians are smaller in number, but they are growing – especially Southwest Asians (Indians, Pakis, etc) who statistically hate Whites more than any other racial or ethnic subcategory. Throughout the South, Pakistanis seem to be everywhere from Northern Virginia to Northern Georgia. The suburbs of D.C. and Atlanta (black cities) are surrounded by intelligent Asians with an historical axe to grind. Their invitation was not at the behest of Billy from Alabama, but Carl from Minnesota – who happily invited his own Somali invasion into Minneapolis because diversity is Carl’s strength.
The South would be far better off as an independent nation state confederacy. Let us handle the demographic challenges without the federal government’s handcuffs, instituted at the behest of Connecticut. Let Texans take control of their border, as they once did prior to the influences of Massachusetts and Michigan. Let us control who should be invited into that confederacy of nations instead of Washington bureaucrats working under the guidelines of Hart-Celler.
Let Southern Whites retrench among their own. Walk away from this godless union that empowers others over our own. We owe no allegiance to a people who hate us. Regroup and retake everything – remaining within these United States provides us nothing.
Secede.

It is comical how bad the Republicans are. Especially recently. A decade ago, they at least pretended to occasionally do things for their constituents.
Now, we have outright stolen elections, a legitimate invasion at the border, and an administration actively trying to get us into a World War III. Meanwhile, the Republicans are not only doing nothing positive – they are actively supporting all three, while simultaneously campaigning in favor of gay marriage and immigration.
They actively support everything that we hate, while resisting things that would provide even the slightest benefit to the American people.
As the saying goes, “You can’t afford a $5 billion border wall, but you can afford $100 billion to Ukraine to start World War III.“
That really is what it means to be a Republican today. To support a bunch of schizo freaks as they loot your country and destroy your people.
The system is hopelessly corrupt. It is probable that the situation is so dire that the Republicans that honestly get elected are only allowed to do so by the uniparty to keep up appearances.
We’ll see how much longer that goes on, as more and more people are no longer buying it.
But no one can do anything about it. So, not as much need for the uniparty to stay in the dark.
Christendom never looked so promising.
The Republican system is a failure. To then support that system is nonsensical. The party that takes their name after it, hoping to conserve it, has conserved nothing. The system is as much of a failure as the party that allowed that system to fail.
At the end of the day, what it means to be a Republican is simple:
You blindly support the Red Team in the greater multicolored Babylonian uniparty.

I understand that some of the readership of Identity Dixie is young and, as a result, never got to experience or even comprehend Old America. This was the Old America that I and many of my colleagues were born and raised in, and once fondly knew.
Sometimes I reflect on my own lived past and look back at that now deceased country with both longing and sadness. Do not get me wrong, Old America was a nation that I once fought for, supported, and raised my hand to defend – but that country was by no means a saint. It was not perfect, but in the 1990s and even the early 2000s it was certainly better than the present day. Be it ignorance, hazy nostalgia, or even unrequited love, Old America was remarkably different and much better than today.
Make no mistake, the same forces which have led to our current predicament were working hard to bring us to these United States with Joe Biden in the Oval Office. Hollywood, Wallstreet, bankers, and politicians were operating, mostly behind the scenes, to tear down Old America. Despite the decline of Old America, the citizenry was still unified on core issues, generally speaking. It was that sense of unity which could be seen and felt throughout the fabric of everyday life. This was before the “.com bubble,” before cell phones, before the specter of terrorism, before the recurring monthly domestic calamities, etc.
But it wasn’t just unity in a greater sense that a functioning country provides, but stability and optimism that came with it. Back then, Old America was still largely considered as the “good guy,” unless you were on the receiving end of its brand of CIA regime change policy.
In Old America, a cop was not feared by the law-abiding citizenry, and the police weren’t dressed like they were about to embark on a combat jump into Fallujah, either. They enforced the law and protected the community by taking down criminals, instead of kneeling before rioters or ignoring junkies in the streets (like they do in places like California).
At one time, BDUs and the American flag meant the “white hats” were here and they would be righteous, noble, and do the right thing. They weren’t perfect, but American Marines weren’t throwing puppies off cliffs or soldiers engaging in sex trafficking.
Back then, you could turn on the television or go to the movies and instead of seeing programs or films dedicated toward entirely forcing a political agenda and denigrating the people that built this country, you could watch them being celebrated. You could observe that Old America was a European-based society, and not only did you see it, but you felt it.
In general, people didn’t have ridiculous names like something out of a cartoon, nor did strangers have a complete lack of respect for one another like they do now.
In Old America, we used to say things like, “it’s a free country, do what you want.” When is the last time you heard someone say this with any sort of sincerity? If you are a young reader of this blog, when was the last time you heard someone say this?
You also weren’t attacked both physically and socially because you had a different opinion, unless you were stupid enough to be in the wrong neighborhood. Speaking of neighborhoods, I remember another thing I don’t see any more – block parties.
Back when I was growing up, parents were okay with you hanging out with your neighbors and running around on the streets, so long as you were back before the streetlights came on. We, at the very least, felt safer than we do today. Again, this is not to say things like crime and evil did not exist in Old America, they certainly did. However, despite all of this, there was still a government that served its citizenry and protected the average law-abiding person (barring federal government operations like Waco or Ruby Ridge).
Maybe it’s the rose-colored glasses, but by and large, Old America was a positive and good place to live in. If you are too young to have lived it, you will never really understand it, because you never had the feeling that came with it.
Back then, we didn’t have pride parades, antifa, groomers, and pedophiles indoctrinating kids in schools (at least not at the rate and visibility we do today). We didn’t have a society focused on tearing down the legacy and people who built this country, attacking its history, both the good and bad, nor did we have genocidal political opposition that sought to destroy all ideological dissenters. In Old America, there was still a tangible element of good and innocence that could still clearly be grasped.
Picking up a hitchhiker wasn’t a death sentence, and you could afford to buy a house or new vehicle for a relatively reasonable price for the average person. It didn’t feel like we struggled as much back then as we do today.
I do not recognize the country I was born and raised in now. I can’t say that they are even one in the same.
I remember in Florida and the battle if we should also put Spanish on public signs or keep them English-only. I remember when I didn’t feel like a foreigner in my own homeland. These are things that, to be frank, if you didn’t live them, you could not possibly even begin to understand because you didn’t experience them.
The sadder part is what I knew and experienced was only a fraction of what used to be, and that was a fraction of another fraction, and so on down the road.
In Old America, you could become an entirely new person by moving to a new town. There weren’t cameras everywhere, digital algorithms, surveillance recognition, digital currencies, etc. When you wanted something, you picked up a catalog and mail-ordered it, and you could pay with a check or cash in an envelope. We went to the store to buy things. There was no Amazon. If you wanted to make friends, you went to a place where people “did stuff” you wanted to do, and you got to know them. You either memorized phone numbers and addresses or wrote them down in a Rolodex. There was no texting, we had phones that hung on walls or sat on a counter. Most places were closed on Sunday, and it was a day of rest.
I remember that old country, do you?
If we seek to bring this back, the only way it is going to exist is on a state or localized level. It is for this reason I am first and foremost a Southern Nationalist and contributor for this site. I and others know the only way to retake everything is to break away from Modern America.
The Southern people are, typically, the most resilient people on this earth. Collectively, we have suffered more duress under than the American Empire than any other and for the longest, as we were its first victim. Despite this, we are still here and will be so after the Empire’s eventual collapse.
I, for one, hold great hope for the future because I know God is on our side. This has been our trial as a people, and by surviving it, we will be rewarded based on the fruits of our labor.
It may seem the world is falling apart around us, do not fret – for it is all part of God’s greater plan. Old America may only be a memory for some of us, but we must look to the future of our people and continue to advance the cause of a Free South.
God bless you and God bless Dixie.

Today, I’d like to discuss the concept of self-restraint. We’re told by the media that our ostensible enemies, Russia and China, are aggressors who must be contained and defeated lest they dominate the globe. In truth, they’re highly self-restraining actors bound by the strictures of reason. For instance, not triggering Armageddon through reckless military endeavors.
POOPIN’ PUTIN: Russian President Vladimir Putin Falls Down Stairs, Soils Himself, Report https://t.co/VMRP4pTSfP
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) December 2, 2022
You can write anything, and just type a comma and “report” after it. Then, it’s real. Putin only launched his operation in Ukraine after all peaceful options had been exhausted. He rightfully insists that he was left with no other choice but to physically combat an existential threat placed by an enemy on his border. He’s been making that case in detail repeatedly since the special operation launched and offering to end the conflict through reasonable negotiations that recognize Russia’s position of strength. This is simply ignored by the Western media who claims he falls down the stairs and craps his pants. They insist he must essentially surrender prior to the imposition of the next Treaty of Versailles. It’s really quite insane.
Likewise, China has been putting up with an astonishing level of humiliation because Xi knows that a military response to the Taiwan situation would open the door to WW3. He’s got very serious domestic issues, such as a population implosion, that he can’t get a lid on. The last thing he needs is a war, so he puts up with the provocations despite the popular fury. This is dismissed as all bark and no bite, but in reality, he’s being prudent at the expense of his own reputation. This is actually an admirable quality in a statesman, yet our media says it’s a justification to up the ante on provocations.
Here in the USA, we’ve got a couple of groups that might be characterized best by their lack of self-restraint. For example, I came across a story about how San Francisco appointed a menagerie of blacks to decide how much reparations they should receive. They came up with 5 million for each of them up front along with hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for the next 250 years.
San Francisco reparations panel pitches $5M — each — to black residents https://t.co/RVz1Dlfg6v pic.twitter.com/Ejyr7ZLeur
— New York Post (@nypost) January 16, 2023
It used to be well-known that blacks are incapable of restraining themselves. Therefore, they required a stern hand to stay civilizationally-functional on some subsistence level. That’s racist, so now they’re left to their own devices. This is how the entire planet gets treated to the horrific story of a 6-year-old capping his young blonde teacher lady in New Port News, Virginia. This was inevitable. If you let them do whatever they want, they’ll start killing the crackers trying to help them before they’re even taught how to write their names.
When they brag, it’s not a conspiracy theory. That only happens when you point it out. Of course, this racial crisis was facilitated by another group of people whose aggression and rapaciousness knows no limit. They’re doing it in order to destroy our country where the majority of them reside. We’re also the military arm of their Middle Eastern ethnostate and fund it lavishly. Somehow, they don’t seem to anticipate how any of this could backfire. In other words, they share this same incapability to restrain themselves as their proxies from the Dark Continent. Perhaps that’s why they keep referring to it as an “alliance” even though they usually refuse to say who it’s against (that would be us).
There was this famous (or infamous, depending on your perspective) anti-communist guy who perished back in 1945. He pointed out that if they’re successful in victimizing everyone, the final stage would be them getting consumed by their own evil lunacy. I’m not really sure if that’s the stage we’re on or what the end would look like.
On a personal note, I’d favor a swift and glorious death in a Russian nuclear strike to civilizational collapse and cannibalism. I’ve never had to eat anybody before, so I’m not sure the new culinary imperative would be to my liking. Perhaps I ought to not drink a whole pot of coffee every morning and restrain my paranoia.
The post Critical Concepts: Self-Restraint appeared first on Identity Dixie.
I count the number of entries on my Confederate Calendar for January to exceed the number of days in the month by eight additional entries. Inclusive as part of the whole of course are the birthdays of General Robert E. Lee (19th), and of his right hand, General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson (21st). Three other birth dates of notable Confederate generals listed include General James Longstreet (8th), General James P. Simms (16th), and General George E. Pickett (25th).
Three of the four entries marking the first three days of the month note the continuation (1st-2nd) and final day (3rd) of the bloody 1863 Battle of Murfreesboro, Tennessee; a battle in which upwards of 24,000 soldiers (North and South inclusive) were either killed, wounded, or reported lost in battle. My 2nd great-grand uncle, Pvt. Seborn Thomas Morris, states on his Texas Confederate Pension Application that it was here he tried to re-enlist with his company and regiment, having previously suffered a debilitating wound at the Battle of Shiloh months before. He was discharged by order several days later when the army had fallen back to Corinth, Mississippi. Seborn’s attempt to re-enlist in late December 1862, prior to the Battle of Murfreesboro, was summarily rejected due to his continued physical disability resulting from his wound at Shiloh. This brave young Confederate was only 16 years-old at the time both of these fierce battles were fought, but it is easy to understand why he tried to re-enlist to fight in that later battle, given that his father and his elder brother were there to fight the battle in his stead.
I’ve noted before within these precincts my transcription of A.J. Ketchum’s (barely legible in places) hand-written history documenting the service of Seborn’s regiment (19th Alabama Infantry), and the report of the regiment’s performance at the Battle of Murfreesboro and elsewhere during the course of the war. Inclusive in Mr. Ketchum’s history, albeit dated some months after the battle under discussion, is a humorous yet interesting piece of anecdotal evidence confirming the fact of history, thoroughly and elsewhere documented, that the Confederates weren’t just fighting Yankees and their brother-northerners in that war. To wit:
One man in the regiment said of this that he was willing to fight the Yankees two to our one, but when he heard old Grant command, “Attention World! by nations right and left wheel,” he thought it was about time for him to retire.
Other notable entries on the calendar this month include the respective dates marking secession from the Union of five of the states that would eventually organize into the Confederate States of America (CSA), including Mississippi (9th), Florida (10th), Alabama (11th), Georgia (19th), and Louisiana (26th). These five states were to become the 2nd-6th states to reclaim their sovereignty and leave the “Glorious Union,” following South Carolina’s lead. Related entries give dates to e.g. seizure by Florida State troops of Ft. Barrancas and the U.S. Navy Yard at Pensacola (13th); seizure of federal installations on Ship Island by Mississippi secessionists (20th); and seizure and control of the federal arsenal in Augusta by Georgia State troops (24th).
One final entry of note, as well as of particular interest to yours truly, is the 1862 capture of Belle Boyd at Warrenton, Virginia (29th). Miss Boyd was found guilty by her captors of spying for the Confederate army and government, and was sentenced to imprisonment in the female ward of the Old Capitol Prison, in Washington, D.C.. She was an inmate of that ward with other Confederate notables such as Virginia Lomax, Mrs. Greenhow, and Mary Surratt, et al. My personal interest in the story of Miss Boyd’s daring exploits as a Confederate spy and mail courier has been previously documented at this site, here, and here. But I recommend you consult her book for a fuller treatment of both her fearless exploits as a Confederate spy, and the time of her imprisonment at the “American Bastille” aforementioned, etc.
There you have it, brothers and sisters. There are of course a number of other entries giving dates to interesting and important events related to the war that occurred in the month of January, but that I will save for perhaps another article at another time. Hope you enjoyed reading, and perhaps even learned something you did not before know of This Month in Confederate History.
God bless you all, God bless our gallant and worthy forebears, and God bless and keep the Southland!
The post This Month in Confederate History: January, 2023 Edition appeared first on Identity Dixie.
There is currently a political coup underway in the United States. Joe Biden is about to be overthrown and replaced with Kamala Harris. It goes without saying that Biden committed a serious crime by housing classified documents in his garage, but the reaction from the Left, both the media and the Democratic Party, indicates that they will soon abandon Biden. I see it no other way. To the extent elements of the Left are defending him, it’s been very weak, clearly indicating that they think they have to offer some tepid defense of the American president (for now). I simply do not believe that the Left is all of a sudden willing to place principles over their own ideology, they have never done it before, and there is little reason for them to start now. They defended Bill Clinton, Obama, and Hillary Clinton – vigorously I may add – against other deeply serious charges. They have not changed, there is a larger game being played here.
I think Biden has been set up. It is plain as day that he has no idea what he is doing. What has likely happened is that the classified documents were moved without his full understanding by his staffers that are more loyal to the Far Left than Joe Biden. The fact that the staffers reported it in this manner, rather than try to cover it up as they would have with Obama, indicates this.
I see two primary motivations for them to stage this coup. First off, they want a “trump card” against Trump. Although Trump is in a far weaker position to secure the nomination than most realize, Washington insiders still think he is the odds-on favorite to be the Republican nominee again. Because of the superficial similarities between the Mar-a-Lago raid and Biden’s recent troubles, eventually getting rid of Biden would essentially dare the GOP to nominate Trump again. I can envision the campaign now – Democrats would point out that while the Republicans kept Trump, the Democrats held Biden accountable, and thus they can be “trusted” more to govern.
But that is only part of what is going on. Though Trump is considered to be the favorite, at least according to conventional wisdom, it appears as if he is no longer the shoe-in he once was. Ron DeSantis is getting increased attention, not just from the Right, but also from the Left as they view him as a Trump-like figure in terms of a populist fighter for Heritage America. But unlike Trump, DeSantis is far more disciplined and with a deeper knowledge of government. So, why stage this coup when there is a very good chance that it comes up short? The reason revolves around the Left’s absolute hatred of White men.
The Left does not want a White man in the White House, and believes now is the time to do it. In truth, they were never happy with Biden from the get-go. They wanted someone else, but it became obvious very early on in the primary that their choice was either to unite behind Joe Biden, who still had a lot of good will with the Party’s rank and file, especially elderly blacks, or support Bernie Sanders. And while I am far from a Bernie Sanders fan, he was way too much of a wildcard for that to be allowed to happen; he was not a good fit for a Democratic Party increasingly defined by an alliance between the cultural Far Left and corporate interests. By supporting Biden, the Far Left was able to acquire several highly important positions within the White House. While the United States is nominally led by an old White guy, now it is run by a cabal of radical anti-Whites and sexual deviants.
Biden has given them everything they want. Whatever history of relative moderation he had as a non-Southern Democrat is now gone – this is a man who regularly calls the mutilation of children a good thing and has nominated a parade of deeply unqualified people just because they check certain demographic boxes. But it is not enough. He is still a White man and thus must be dethroned. The idea is to very quickly abandon him and replace him with Harris, who is much more to their liking. What is happening to Biden should serve as a warning to all White men, at least those who are not sexual deviants, nothing you do will be enough – they hate you and want revenge.
Still, the question remains, why did they wait this long? The answer, I believe, is two-fold. By waiting to the present, they assured that the political fallout would be minimal. The midterms have already happened. But more importantly, by waiting until now, they are able to guarantee Kamala Harris can run twice. If a vice president serves over half of the former president’s term, then the former vice president can only run once; however, if they serve less than half the president’s term, they can run twice. Lyndon Baines Johnson could have constitutionally run again in 1968, but Vietnam and the riots tanked his popularity. Harris will now be able to run in 2024 and 2028; had the coup happened this past summer, she would have only been able to run in 2024.
I am skeptical of how much it will work; Harris is unpopular and, as a black woman, cannot run up the black vote the way Obama could. Many black men will not vote for a black woman. She is also deeply unpopular with everyone outside the world of Far Left politics. Regardless, the Right must take this as firm proof of just how anti-White the Left has become: nothing a White man can do will be enough. Biden has given them everything they want, but they still launched a coup against him. There is no appeasing them, and Whites, especially White men with rightwing views, must understand this basic fact if they are going to have any chance.
The post Joe’s Garage appeared first on Identity Dixie.
One of the most annoying conservative tropes is the “free market,” a risible absurdity that should never fool any grown man who has had to make himself a dollar. During the COVID nightmare, even leftists starting invoking this canard to justify why anyone who refused the vax must be fired and banned from grocery shopping.
Somehow, the general public can’t understand that just because something is called The Federal Reserve or The Bank of England, this doesn’t mean it’s a public institution required to operate with some fundamental degree of transparency. So, this money supply is the most basic level of our free market. However, there are plenty more vehicles of control.
Some are not as old as central banks, but came into being as the people in the background who own these institutions established dominance of everything in the free market. That’s how a guy in his 30’s like Larry Fink (Sparkle) could establish BlackRock. His firm, whose name is an occult reference, has amassed 8.59 trillion in assets under management. Its largest stakeholder is Vanguard, the ownership of which nobody is allowed to know. That’s summing things up in fairly innocuous terms. Just look at what it received to save the free market under the Trump Administration. That’s a very sordid story for another day.
To keep this article concise, let’s examine the latest scheme to further formalize the freedom of the market. This is called the Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) score. This allows someone like Larry Fink, or whoever you’ve never heard of who pulls his strings, to decide which companies can participate in the free market by assigning them an arbitrary value based on stuff like how many white men they don’t hire. There are no more shadowy threats to shut down somebody with ethics like Henry Ford. They’re so full of hubris now that it’s all public.
The S in ESG stands for Satanic
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 16, 2023
As what happens with these people every single time, they never seem to anticipate what their ongoing misdeeds will eventually summon and react with hysteria when the backlash arrives. So now we have Larry Fink, who’s personally screwing over the entire country expressing alarm that people are getting angry at him personally for what he’s doing. He doesn’t talk about how his firm is doing its best to turn every single entry level home buyer into a renter who will have their monthly payments calibrated to the very limit of what they can tolerate via algorithm.
What he’s willing to admit to is just the ESG score stuff and only to the extent that there’s some sort of narrative cooked up by the crazies:
“We are trying to address the misconceptions. It’s hard because it’s not business any more, they’re doing it in a personal way. And for the first time in my professional career, attacks are now personal. They’re trying to demonize the issues.”
“Let’s be clear, the narrative is ugly, the narrative is creating this huge polarization,” Fink said.
Oh right, it’s not what you’re actually doing. It’s what bad people say you’re doing. What a novel canard. It’s like all they can come up with is the same shit every time. Here’s another classic:
“BlackRock is a firm that tries to sell hope…“
Much like genital mutilation is healthcare, financial parasitism and outright extortion are hope. Good luck selling that to anybody you’ve screwed over. These people have scammed their way up to a perch in our society where they only have to listen to each other and exist beyond any truthful mainstream criticism. They can’t see what a perilous position it actually is but then somehow panic when it begins to shake. It’s all very bizarre.

Stagflation. Fuel Prices. Shortages. Political Turmoil. War in Europe. Roe V. Wade. Crypto Collapse. Counter-counter culture. Most years have one or two seminal, defining events that set the societal zeitgeist, but in 2022 so many events vied for attention that most people had to take time not only to revaluate what it means for the future, but also simply how to filter out the signal from the noise. Tonight we dive into the year, starting with the Ukrainian conflict, and ending with what might be emerging as an escalating one in Mexico, but in between cover the economic and cultural shakeups that continue to leave shockwaves into 2023.

Vox Day captures the reality of the modern business structure in just two short paragraphs:
All of the social media giants are, to greater and lesser degrees, fraudulent corporate structures. They are not actually real businesses as one learns about business in business school or Econ 101. Their nominal customers are not their customers, but rather, their “advertisers”, who are not actually advertisers as one is taught in Marketing 101, but Clown World conduits for free money provided to ticket-takers. They are totally – and I mean TOTALLY – dependent upon a constant flow of external “investment” money. In most cases, the total “investment” into them far exceeds their actual revenue.
For example, Patreon’s peak monthly payout, in July 2022, is $26 million. Since they take an average of 6 percent, this means their average monthly revenue is around $1.6 million. Ergo, their peak annual revenue is around $20 million and their total lifetime revenue from 2013 is around $60 million, while as of one year ago, Patreon had received $413.3 million in funding over 10 rounds. This strongly suggests that Patreon is not, and never will be, a viable business under its current revenue model. The same is true of Twitter and other public companies propped up by various forms of “investment”; rising interest rates and falling stock prices mean that the flow of money these corporations require to operate is beginning to dry up.
[…]
As a community, we have an amazing opportunity here. The corporate fakes and frauds that have siphoned up all of the public awareness by providing “free” services are beginning to crumble. As with the Great Depression, the giants of the 2060s and beyond will be the agile and determined operations that survived and thrived during the Great Collapse.
This is really why the market correction activities that most libertarians support would never work. It doesn’t matter if you stop supporting evil corporations, because they aren’t being legitimately supported by the market in the first place.
Most of these modern atrocity-corporations’ balance sheets are not geared toward consumption, subscribers, or even users (they just make those up, like Twitter creating fake accounts). The real root money comes from the isolated class who funds the corporation through some other means. Maybe that funding is investments, or stocks, or advertising, or one of the other dozens of ways influential funding can be procured, but it’s not through the traditional market. That funding rests outside of that, so that the traditional market cannot harm its operations.
If you quit giving money to one producer because their activities are evil, but still put the money in the system, it will just go elsewhere. Fifty percent or more of the money will end up getting taxed at some point, and the government will just fund those enterprises instead. Or perhaps you’ll switch companies without realizing that they’re all connected through conglomerations and higher-level corporations, anyway. Or they’ll just shut down the entire economy—like they did with covid—and force extra funding to go to the big box stores.
Thus, traditional market activity (i.e. what libertarians propose) does not and never will work. When a small amount of people control a vast amount of wealth, the majority of major businesses, and share numerous connections with cultural/intellectual/information/political arenas, the “free” market is not quite so free. It’s a centralized market, so your activities within it will not impact it on a large scale.
Even if you somehow restored the original republic (impossible), the exact same thing would just happen again. A decentralized, free market will inevitably be centralized or subverted if left unprotected. Which is exactly what happened in our current market.
Clown world controls the system, so it will simply shift as needed to adjust to your market tactics. You can’t beat their system by playing within the rules and confines of it.
We need our own system. We have to go parallel.

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Many years ago (late ’80s-early ‘90s), there was a large billboard just off a highway in south-central Oklahoma, advertising a denominational Church of Christ located within the city limits of the town nearest the sign, inviting non-member passersby to attend Saturday night and Sunday worship services there. The sign itself was hand-painted and beautifully done, and part and parcel of the expertly-lettered information upon it was the following short, sweet, and to the point message:
Worship is our gift to God!
I put that statement in italics and ended it with an exclamation mark, by the way, because that is the way it appeared on the sign in question, as though it were being announced to readers by the body of the church’s congregation.
Now, don’t get me to lying about the Churches of Christ as a distinct denomination amongst Protestant denominations because I’m certainly no expert when it comes to its theological idiosyncrasies. I know a couple things, though, like, e.g., that its members sing from their hymnals without the aid of musical instruments and that sort of thing. Otherwise, my knowledge of that denomination and its peculiarities is about as deep as a puddle. There is the additional matter of the above-mentioned statement prominently inscribed on the church’s billboard, however.
I well remember the first time I noticed the new sign and read the message in question. Even though I couldn’t have possibly been more than twenty-two or twenty-three years-old, and therefore was not a particularly devout or well-grounded Christian at the time, that statement nevertheless struck me the wrong way right from the get go. I remember thinking to myself upon reading it, “if y’all think worship is your ‘gift to God,’ and not the other way around, you can be assured that me and mine will never darken the door of your church, or any other Church of Christ, for that matter.”
My assumption has always been that the intention behind the message was to attract non-member passersby to the church, not to drive them away from it. If I’ve assumed correctly all these intervening years, the author(s) thereof certainly failed in their style of “outreach” with the likes of yours truly. I reckon that most people who actually bothered to read the message as they drove by were likely indifferent to it and the intentions of its author(s) in any case, its off-putting effect on the likes of T. Morris notwithstanding. The vast majority who were not explicitly anti-Christian probably saw nothing wrong with or in it. Or, so I suspect. Whereas, those few haters-of-all-things-remotely-Christian who read it likely took offense to its holier-than-thou hypocrisy and fake display of piety and whatnot. But that element is such an insignificant minority around the area I’m talking about that no one pays them nor their opinions any mind in any case. Sucks to be them in Christ-friendly rural Oklahoma, if you know what I mean. But I digress.
I should probably shift into a lower gear at this point in the article long enough to say that if you, dear reader, are a member of the denomination in question, please be assured that nothing written above is in any way intended to insult you, nor it. Other than having previously attended the church in question two or three times with a former girlfriend and her member-parents some five or six years before the billboard in question went up, the statement itself was all I had in my “hip pocket” to go on as it relates to that particular church’s membership and their ideas of what it means for Christians to worship God, and why His people engage in the practice. I’ll freely admit and own as well that there is a (possibly) unfair “guilt by association” element in my approach to the question as it pertains to the broader denomination. Although I’ve often wondered since whether it was just an idiosyncrasy possessed of the membership of that specific church and church body, and not a belief held or commonly embraced by the broader Churches of Christ per se.
That question and its answer is less important to me in any case than the more fundamental question of what it is that invites such thoughts, or the seeds of such thoughts, more precisely, to be implanted into the heads of professing Christians, and then to sprout roots and mature enough that they produce the “fruit” of openly announcing it on their billboards, on their church marquees and in church bulletins and suchlike. When they’re not otherwise preaching it from the pulpit and enthusiastically AMEN!-ing its pronouncement from the pews, I mean:
“All that matters, flock, is what we do for God! Can I get an Amen?!”
That, to me, is the more interesting question, and the one that needs to be answered beyond the obvious, yet too vague, “sinful nature” answer generally given when people can’t narrow error down to a more specific cause. But it needs a more specific answer, so’s we can properly address the problem at its source and where it lives, and begin applying the proper remedy(s).
I trust it is not lost on this intelligent readership that I am implying a connection of this problem as we observe it in modern churches and many of their parishioners, back to that particular part of Christ’s answer to the scribe’s “loaded” question contained in the epigraph heading this article. Neither do I reckon it lost on y’all that there is too much emphasis in today’s churches (and, yes, Southern churches as well) placed upon the latter part of the answer given I purposely omitted from inclusion in the epigraph, and not nearly enough emphasis on the former. The First and Greatest Commandment is, afterall, supreme love to God, NOT the “Golden Rule.” At least that’s what Jesus tells us through the witness of His disciples in the gospels recording the episode. But one would never know that judging by the amount of emphasis commonly placed on each of the two respectively in far too many of today’s churches and amongst their congregants.
I’ve discussed this and similar issues before with fellow Christians who more or less share my persuasion on the matter, but what I generally get from them by way of their more charitable (than mine) dispositions is some form or other of “well, their hearts are in the right place.” But, see, I’m not sure I would agree that the hearts of such persons are in the right place if I felt qualified to make that determination. Which I don’t. I’m sure of this: God knows where their hearts are; I don’t much concern myself with that. What I’m chiefly concerned with is whether or not their heads are in the right place. Because, as was iterated above, loving God with all your mind is an exercise of the head, not of the heart. And I for one have come to believe that neglect of this aspect of the First and Greatest Commandment is likely the primary avenue by way of which such error under discussion creeps into the mind and eventually produces fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself, if not effectively dealt with and corrected.
To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what the phrase expressing what we “do for God,” in any of its various iterations even means. Don’t get me wrong, I think I know what the persons who say such things think it means, I just don’t know what it means, and certainly do not believe its meaning generally reflects what they intend by it in any case, nor that such sayings necessarily proceed from hearts that are “in the right place,” for that matter.
Well, that’s enough “solid meat” to chew on for now. I’ll pick up on this topic again in future articles. Thanks for reading, and God bless the Southland!

The phone did not stop ringing Monday morning, and it hadn’t stopped ringing since Sunday afternoon. The views on social media were record setting for a simple sermon, and the comments were as vile as you would expect. But it had to be done, it wasn’t just honest, it was the truth, it was God’s truth. It was a “Gospel issue,“ the Bishop choosing a phrase that had driven him insane every time he had heard it from the biblically illiterate, from those caught in the pietism of the World, religious folk that had ordered their speech to justify the Church’s abandonment of sound teaching, in hopes it would make them appear more palatable to the godless. But, in reality, it had made the churches that embraced this type of pestilence ideologically apostate.
For too long there had been an enchantment placed upon the people of the South, a mystical curse that had beaten them down for the past 160 years, repeated over and over so regularly that they had finally agreed with the demonic forces that had bewitched them. It was the Bishop’s purpose to break that enchantment, to loose them from this curse the only way it could be done, by the power of the Holy Spirit and through the clear teaching of God’s Word. And he knew all the forces of Hell would come against him because of it. But he was prepared, not just prepared, but hoping for the onslaught. For when the Bible says, ”the gates of Hell shall not prevail against you,” it is from the position of attack, and the Bishop was about to join his brothers in an all-out assault.
He aligned his response to that which was coming, and he hoped it would split the ecclesiastical world of Dixie wide open. But he could not do it alone, so he gathered his allies in a secret meeting beforehand. As much as we have a distaste for the role of money in the Church, it is a reality, and the Bishop knew how to play the game. He had always maintained relationships with three of the wealthiest and most powerful men in South Carolina, all Citadel graduates, and he had confidence that they would stand by him financially when needed. Already they were secretly committed to the cause of sovereignty, and for the prospect that a distinctively Southern denomination may be the only way to save authentic Christianity in the South.
The time was set, the audience was assembled, and those with sympathies were placed in strategic locations among the congregants. And as a show of encouragement, Gideon had made the journey to attend the service. The Bishop was looking very sharp this Lord’s Day, his hair was freshly cut, and his beard was nicely trimmed, but instead of his ecclesial robe, he was fully dressed in his Confederate memorial tartan, with his great-great grandfather’s sword at his side, and his grandmother’s King James Bible in his hand. He was armed for battle, a battle against princes and principalities, demonic forces that had ruled over his people for too long. The next hour would be one that was remembered long into posterity, not just in his Low Country parish, but in written word, song, and the mythology of South Carolina.
His words were strong, impassioned, and deliberate. Using a personalized paraphrase from the Book of Galatians, Chapter Three and Verse One, he went to war, both in the heavens and on Earth.
“O foolish Carolinians, who has bewitched you that you should believe a lie, and what has enchanted you that you should slander your ancestors by calling that which God has not called evil, evil? And why have you turned from God and worshiped the idols of a godless nation? Are we all not slaves to Christ, are we all not bound to Our Lord, to serve him in whatever state in which we were born, whether rich or poor, bond or free, and are we not the Lord’s, bought with the price of His blood according to First Corinthians 7:17-24 Have we slipped so far into demonic egalitarian philosophy, that we now openly reject the words that the Lord God Jehovah has given us? So much that, we now love that which God hates, and hate that which God loves?”
“My brothers and sisters, let me make this very plain, as clear as the crystal water that springs from this very ground, like the waters that many of y’all swam in just down the road from here, when we were mere children and still loved and cherished our people.” The Bishop was remembering plunging from high aloft into a crystal-clear spring in his youth, and that feeling of exhilaration and fear as he jumped, the water being so clear that he did not know if he would splash into cool water, or go crashing to his doom on a waterless sandy bottom. That was exactly the emotion he was experiencing at this moment. Then, with miraculous indignation, his passions ignited, and his voice thundering. He exclaimed!
“Your slave owning ancestors were not evil, and to say they were is a denial of the very Word of God you testify to love, it is a devilish bewitching!”
There was a momentary silence, and for once, not a single soul was nodding off in the congregation. From the back of the chapel, an “amen” sounded, not loud, but loud enough, and heads turned. It was one of the Bishop’s benefactors, a man from a very wealthy, well respected, and old Low Country family. And with that affirmation, the Bishop found the courage he needed to continue.
For nearly forty-five minutes, he waxed eloquently on the master/slave relationship throughout the Bible, from Commandment Ten, that forbids the coveting of another’s manservant, the laws regarding Hebrew and foreign slaves, the relationship of Christ and the servant status of the Church, and how the writers of the New Testament and the Apostles referred to themselves as slaves in and for Christ. He destroyed the myth that slavery in the South was much harsher than allowed by the Scriptures, and demonstrating from the factual evidence, how no serious person, upon examination, should dispute the truth of it. The Bishop recalled the fondness of Paul to slave-owning Philemon on this very issue, regarding him as a man of respect and virtue, a leader in the Church, and how far removed that is from the way the godless, and even some in this very congregation, regarded their slave-owning ancestors. He meant to shame those that had betrayed their people, not just those present, but also to a wider Southern audience, and by the body language of those in attendance, he was succeeding.
But he saved the best for last, one that puts a nail in the coffin of those that would slander the men who did their best to civilize an institution under the laws of God, an economic system that has existed from the dawn of mankind.
“Let as many servants that are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. If any man teaches otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness, from such withdraw thyself.“
Coming to a close, the Bishop was now exhausted and with a sorrow in his voice, as if Jeremiah the weeping prophet was now addressing the congregation himself. He gently asked those listening, to examine with honesty the words before them. For if these instructions were the words of God, then the defamation of their ancestors could no longer be tolerated. Therefore, they must oppose those that suggested differently, and they must withdraw themselves from that company, as the Apostle commanded. His last words to the congregation were simple, a call to repentance, a call to remembrance for their godly ancestors, and a call for a fervent restoration of the reputations of those that had been maligned over the recent years.
After the benediction, the Bishop conversed with his congregation as they left the chapel. He found them reflective and sober, but it was evident the bewitchment had been attacked, and the enchantment that had paralyzed our people for so long was being broken.
As the crowd thinned, Gideon appeared, his eyes bright with approval, and his arms open to embrace the Bishop in brotherly compassion. Two parts to Gideon’s plan were now in play, and the rest were about to be revealed.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

This past weekend, on January 7th, I was privileged to attend and briefly participate in the Florida League of the South (FL LS) Conference, held just outside of Lake City. Whereas it was not my original intention to attend this event, and I am not a League member, this was the first weekend at which I had the opportunity to participate in a Southern Nationalist gathering in 2023. My attendance was an extension of a personal commitment to do more this year in terms of activism, content production, and building toward a more cohesive and resilient Southern Nationalist movement.
A Year of Action: 2023Before I share my thoughts on the events, speakers, and speeches, I would like to take a step back and express my overall belief in the importance of 2023. In November 2024, no matter who the Republican nominee may be, he or she will lose the presidential election. This is not mere conjecture on my part. Simple mathematics no longer provide an electoral victory pathway for the Republican candidate now that Arizona is lost, and Georgia is teetering. It is important for Southern Nationalists to fully appreciate the political realities of the Union before I return to the topic of the FL LS Conference itself.
When Trump won his election in 2016, he not only won the usual Republican electoral votes (i.e., those from the South, the Rocky Mountains, and the agricultural Midwest), he won Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. That did not happen in 2020, and it cannot happen in 2024. Michigan and Pennsylvania are now firmly in Democrat legislative and executive hands – meaning the rules changes for 2024 will undoubtedly ensure those electoral votes go to whomever the Democrat candidate may be. As it currently stands, the loss of Arizona ensures the 2024 Democrat candidate a 281 to 257 advantage in the election based on current voting and electoral results. This assumes Georgia, Wisconsin, and North Carolina all stay “red” and Virginia stays “blue.” Flip Virginia and Wisconsin, and you get D 278 to R 260 – still a loss.
The greatest presidential candidate may provide a glimmer of hope for the Republicans, but it will not matter. Even if Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona do not change their voting rules to favor the Democrat candidate in 2024, they can still cheat. The outrageous theft of the 2020 election and a repeat of the shenanigans in 2022, all of which were marginally protested, has only emboldened the leftist regime. They know that they can get away with it and you – the regular voter – is powerless to stop them.
There is no question that dedicated rightwing American voters will vote harder in 2024 to secure a presidential victory for whomever runs that year (I suspect DeSantis). Ignoring the fact that very few Republican politicians are worth anything and they conserve nothing, conservatives will dutifully believe they have a fighting chance right up to the moment in which the polls close on 5 November 2024. This is all good news for Southern Nationalists.
Southern Nationalist entities should do everything in their power to encourage national participation in voting. Why? Because the failure that will inevitably result will strike a deep blow to the zeitgeist of genuine conservative voters. The disdain they will feel in the weeks after November 5th as countless new ballots put the Democrat candidate over the top will break their hearts. We need to make this a reality. The United States cannot endure as long as fifty percent of the electorate feels disenfranchised. During the election of 2020, seventy-six million Americans believe their vote was stolen by a corrupt cabal. Worse, the media and government officials not only mocked their disappointment, they openly admitted they stole the election in a Time Magazine article shortly after the election. When this happens again in 2024, we need to be there with a plan and the organizational capacity to redirect their energies when they finally realize the United States is dead and it cannot be revived.
Florida Secession is my most pressing desire. I seek her political, cultural, and economic removal from those United States. At present, I belong to a small minority of Floridians, but our numbers are growing as evidenced by recent polling. If Florida goes – and my beloved country has the means to do so – the other “red” states will have to take a hard look around and awaken to the reality that they are doomed without Florida’s twenty-nine electoral votes and twenty-eight Congressional seats, twenty of which are Republican. These United States are already run by California and New York. Florida and Texas have been the most persistent stumbling blocks to California supremacy. Without us, the true capital of those United States will be Sacramento, not Washington, D.C. In many ways, it already is.
Correspondingly, I sincerely believe those in power in Washington will eventually allow Florida and Texas to leave in an attempt to consolidate power and impose their will on the less powerful, intransigent states. No doubt, they believe they can come back and “correct” Florida and Texas after they are done with states such as South Carolina, Wyoming, and Oklahoma. That is what the European Union did when it allowed the Czech-Slovakian divorce and subsequent reconnection by means of extra-territorial governance through the European Parliament. They are doing the same now with Scotland and Northern Ireland. We need to be ready for all possible eventualities.
Thus, my participation at the Florida League Conference. Any misgivings that I may have held in the past are permanently set aside. We share the same secessionist motivations. I remain a Christian Absolutist as it pertains to governance of any kind. This means, whether it is an organization, a government, or any entity within which I may play a role – small as it may be – I cannot submit to non-Christian leadership. The League is not a Christian Absolutist entity, thus I am no longer a member. That stated, I have no doubt whatsoever that the League, its leadership, and its members are committed Southern Nationalists. Therefore, we need to work together across the spectrum of Southern Nationalist entities and actors to achieve common goals and advocate side-by-side where it makes sense to do so.
Identity Dixie (ID) is a communications platform of Southern Nationalism. It is not an in-person activist entity. We hold fellowship gatherings, but our mission is Southern Nationalist content production. You will find no such coordinated ID participation in the cultivation of protests – whether they be Charlottesville in 2017 or some yet to be determined protest in 2024. You may find ID writers among the crowds, but you will never find ID leadership at the helm or even in the drafting room of such events. The League, by contrast, is an activist entity by design. Coordinating with them to amplify Southern Nationalist messaging and political or cultural goals makes strategic sense. There are some great people in the League which is led by the unflappable Dr. J. Michael Hill. We are honored to find symmetry where it can be found.
The ConferenceThe venue was a beautiful location, idyllic in its setting. The room had a fireplace that was lit in the morning. The space itself could accommodate approximately 75 – 100 guests, depending on the seating arrangements, with a convenient kitchen for the sake of managing food and refreshments.
The Conference organizers, all volunteers, did a great job at ensuring the space looked professional, inviting, and provided ample space for the speakers and guests. The location was well hidden, requiring advanced security protocols to ensure leftwing violence was avoided. In many ways, this was a throwback to earlier League events. The emphasis on the Florida state flag and the Bonnie Blue (the flag of the independent Republic of West Florida) was a nice touch, framing those who took the podium. There was a marked deemphasis on any ancillary causes. This was a Southern Nationalist event for Florida Secessionists – period.
The event started approximately forty-five minutes late. The tardiness was due to no fault of any of the organizers. There was a massive accident on nearby I-75 that blocked participants from arriving on time. Additionally, the seclusion of the event challenged some GPS units. Once the event started, it went smoothly.
Michael Tubbs, Chairman of the Florida League of the South, initiated the meeting, with his opening remarks. Consistent with the professionalism and businesslike orientation of the meeting, Tubbs began with a prayer and laid out an agenda. Again, the theme of Florida Secession was reemphasized.
Summary of SpeakersLuis Miguel, Candidate for the Florida House of Representatives, Federal Intrusion Upon the Florida Political System: Mr. Miguel, a Cuban-American, began with a well-articulated indictment of the current United States regime. Specifically, he explained various attempts or actions taken by the federal government to undermine Florida sovereignty and the Florida government’s response or lack thereof. He further highlighted the differences between the destructive Left and the moral superiority of conservative Southern culture. From that foundation, Mr. Miguel made a logical argument for secession. His speech was thorough, sincere, and touched every argument for a Free and Independent Dixie – especially, a Free Florida.
Marshall Clayton Rawson, Chairman of the Greater Melrose Republican Liberty Caucus, The Environmental Damage Caused by Immigration: Mr. Rawson, a very active member of local politics within Northeastern and Northcentral Florida, an agricultural business owner, and soon-to-be attorney, presented on the deleterious impact of migration on Florida’s environment. This was not constricted to illegal immigration. Rather, Mr. Rawson spoke on the impacts of land and climate as it pertained to an increasingly overpopulated and over-commercialized Florida. This included a well-reasoned rebuke of Yankee migration into the state, causing massive downstream impacts on the environmental sustainability of Florida’s ecosystem, especially upon its agricultural geography.
Dr. Marshall DeRosa, Professor at Florida Atlantic University and Author, The Confederate Principles: The Phoenix Rising: Dr. DeRosa’s presentation focused on the political, social, and legal distinctions of the Confederacy contrasted against those of the Union, pre-and-post-war. He showed a significant number of examples that highlighted the constitutional differences between the parties, including the inclusion of God and the rights of the citizenry. An interesting facet of Dr. DeRosa’s presentation was the rights of blacks and slaves in the South versus those in the North. The actual legal status of slavery in the South, to include the fact that human ownership was never a legal condition in the Confederacy and was well on its way out before the war started. Dr. DeRosa’s primary point, however, was that many of the current calls for legal reforms or interpretations of the American Constitution are really a rehash of the ideals of the Confederacy itself. Whether they realize it or not, American “conservatives” are essentially asking for the same things the South sought in 1860.
Padraig Martin, Author of “A Walk in the Park: My Charlottesville Story,” A Call to Action: I was humbled to be invited by the Chairman, Michael Tubbs, to give a speech at this event. It was an unplanned but wholly appreciated honor. I made a simple, short speech regarding the importance of 2023 as a year to act.
Mark Thomey, Professional Engineer and Executive Officer, The League of the South, The Alternative to the Empire: What Freedom Really Looks Like: Mr. Thomey presented how a Free and Independent Dixie would be governed both politically and socially. He cut the regime no slack, as he sliced through its treacherous and immoral acts one at a time. With every certifiable charge against the Empire, Mr. Thomey provided a Southern alternative to the political or social rot that festers from Washington, D.C. He covered a broad range of ground, from the regime’s promotion of sodomy to its feckless foreign policy to its insolvent monetary schemes. Mr. Thomey laid out a vision for a South whereby Christian compassion and community interaction are the foundation of an independent country led by moral leaders and laws enshrined to hold them accountable to the Southern people.
Dr. Michael Hill, President of the League of the South, The Modern Authors of Secession: The Agenda for 2023: Dr. Hill’s speech largely captured and summarized all of the speeches of the day with a more poignant recognition that 2023 is a critical year for the League and the secessionist movement in general. Referencing Fifth Generation Warfare – also known as “Non-Kinetic Activity” – Dr. Hill made a broader argument for engaging on a level that “attacks the margins” of the battlespace to redirect social engineering and information/disinformation campaigns toward the South in a way that encourages secession. Appreciating that strategic mistakes were made in the past by essentially trying to fight on the enemy’s chosen battleground (e.g., direct action confrontations), Dr. Hill made a cogent argument that the time to redirect toward a more comprehensive communications strategy would be more effective as the U.S. prepares for an inevitable political collapse in 2024. This was one of Dr. Hill’s most somber yet most important speeches that I have personally ever heard, because it offered a framework for a more attainable goal. In addition to that critical component of his speech, Dr. Hill rightfully stated that the movement has had its ebbs and flows, but those still committed to the cause of Southern freedom – despite how tough the fight has been – are true warriors for their people.
It is my understanding that the majority of the conference was filmed and will be made available to the general public. When it is, Identity Dixie will share the video. The summary I presented does not do justice to the hard work and passions of the speakers themselves.
It is with sincere appreciation to the Florida League of the South that I received both an invitation to attend and speak. The time to work is now. We share the same goal: a Free and Independent Dixie – preferably beginning with my beloved country, Florida.
Deo Vindice!

Yesterday, I took an elderly family member grocery shopping. It’s a high-end store with security at all times, so you’d think it’d be free of miscreants. Instead, there were gypsies in the parking lot playing music and holding a sign about Jesus and how they need money so send it to them through Venmo. These were gypsies as in the legit 100% Scum of the Earth creatures who plague Europe. “Why are they f* here?*“, I muttered.
A female flashed me an evil smile and pointed at the sign. I thought to myself if only she knew what would happen to every single one of her kind conducting their parasitism in my country if I were in charge. Inside, Mr. Boomer Bob security man was watching from the window wearing a bullet proof vest. I inquired if this activity was illegal (yes, absolutely). He shrugged and said that lots of activities are illegal. Meanwhile, two cops walked by and didn’t even glance at them.
When we got back to the car, I closed the door and began explaining about how there was this guy who knew how to deal with exactly this problem, among several others. He’d left the army as a corporal and all he wanted to do was paint, but certain people just wouldn’t leave his country alone. They pushed him too far. I was asked to please not start on this one today.
I’ve lived in Europe, so I know what gypsies are like and the sort of stuff that they do. They’re capable of things of which the average American doesn’t even have a frame of reference despite living around black people his whole life. They’re not going to add a healthy dynamic to my hometown. Hopefully, they move along soon. That’s putting it as mildly as possible.
What I’m trying to say here is that I know all about many bad things, and I don’t want these things to happen to decent people. That describes almost all of us dissidents, as well. To our naive critics, this comes across as heartless. It seems like they focus on the mean thing I have to say about some particular demographic instead of realizing that I’m trying to tell them the truth in order to apprise them of the risks to their well-being.
I’ve written humorously about starting a risk appraisal firm to help these people, but in reality, they’re exactly the sort that would condemn me and brush off my cogent warnings as racism. Meanwhile, I’ve never been taken hostage and shot in the head by my daughter’s black boyfriend. It’s all so tiresome, but I feel compelled to keep at it even though such people would never read this sort of publication. I suppose it’s really just to vent.

In Division in Democracy, I wrote:
Arguably, the most damaging aspect of democracy is its inevitability of segmenting the population against one another based on personal politics.
In the case of every other system, this does not happen. Polarization typically only arises when democratic choices are presented, and especially so when only two options are presented.
[…]
A useful case study can be found with sports teams. The same division happens with any type of sportsball team frenzy, but the difference is that the totality of division in sports is much smaller. Take the insanity you see with sports division and multiply it by the thousands and you have the starting place for democratic division. It is easy to imagine that the division amongst sports teams would be even worse if there were only two sports teams in total.
Under democratic systems, the people become hyper-politicized and end up hating their fellow citizen more than the centralizers and minority classes destroying them. We see this in the United States daily.
Republicans hate Democrats. Democrats hate Republicans. Everyone hates libertarians, even other libertarians.
Campaign strategies are specifically designed to anger, shame, or make fun of their own national brothers and sisters. We even have leaders calling segments of the population phrases such as “maga extremists” and “basket of deplorables” (throwback).
We hate our own even more so than we hate the invading foreigners. This could only be done with democracy.
[…]
This division in democracy also does not just create adversity between citizens, but creates an entire behemoth political climate that is impossible to escape.
You all feel and know this. It is authentically impossible to escape politics in any tangible fashion without completely unplugging from everything. Politics is constantly in your books, church, movies, public events, video games, neighbor’s yard, science, educational systems, music, work, public health directives, and everything else.
The system degrades until everything is political, so everything is divided. Everything must go through a political filter lens, from what you produce to what you consume. There is no escape from the constant barrage of politics. This is not a healthy condition for humans to live under. We should not be living, breathing, watching, and eating politics constantly. But everyone does under democracy. Whether or not they realize it isn’t relevant.
This is not sustainable. You can’t have a nation where half of the people hate the other half. You also can’t have a system that utterly consumes every person into politics 24/7.
Which is why no form of democracy can sustain itself as a viable system.
The greatest failure of the conservative was to not recognize the absolute politicization aspect of democracy, and then to fail to immediately hedge against it following the halcyon era.
Using a two-party system example (but this applies to any setup of a rule-by-many democracy or republic): if both sides are not hyperpolitical, then whichever side becomes hyperpolitical first and sustains it will inevitably win. Simply because they show up to the battlefield, whereas the other side doesn’t even bother to put on the uniform.
Democracy requires both parties – so every single person in the nation – to constantly be hyperpolitical in every facet of their life to ensure a balance between the two. Otherwise, one party breaks the balance.
But this requirement is completely insane, as anyone with a penchant for something other than politics could tell you. We cannot be fully enveloped by politics constantly. It is not healthy for every citizen to bear that burden.
This is why democracy is so terrible, because everyone must be fully politicized at all points and in all activities for every possible party position. Democracy requires that everyone must constantly live and breathe politics. Otherwise, one side will inevitably dominate and centralize the other.
Thus, democracy will rapidly turn against the weaker party. The conservative was the weaker party, as they tried to play “by the rules” and only with minor political involvement. Meanwhile, the Left played the system itself – they did not play by the rules – and with constant hyperpoliticization since the mid-1900s.
This is not a sustainable nor a desirable condition. We are not meant to be politicized constantly, which the rule-by-many requires for any semblance of balance. Which is why the leftists are succeeding in bringing us under a rule-by-few, where they are the “few.”
Leftists dedicate their entire life to politics. They live, breathe, eat, and sleep their politics. Most conservatives start and end it at the voting booth every two years. Given this information, there should be little surprise why one side has won, and the other has lost. You cannot conserve what you only defend every couple of years by lukewarmly tossing in a ballot.
However, even though this is the greatest failure of the conservative, it does not mean that it is a solution. Even if they were to become hyperpolitical, they would still fail. Because their people (the conservatives) are sane, and cannot be consumed by politics constantly for the entire duration of their life, like the leftists.
This is why the dissident, traditionalist, and nationalist cannot follow the same path. We must move parallel, which demands full politicization of our own, but outside of their system. That latter part is the key: outside of their system. The conservative, by their nature of desiring conservation, must play within the system. We have no such requirement.
We need a system that allows us to live outside of the mainstream variant without it being a burden. Our side can have that. The conservative cannot.
Still, given the system we reside under, we cannot escape hyperpoliticization. It is not a healthy condition for us to live engulfed by politics, but we must do so in the hope that our children may not have to.
If we don’t succeed, the leftists will still drown us in politics, but communist-style.
Meanwhile, if we do succeed, we can create a system whereby full politicization of the population need not occur. Think Christendom, or Franco, or Rome, or whatever your preference. But that cannot happen unless we meet the enemy on their own common ground first.
We have to be hyperpolitical. We have to have our own system, institutions, and moral/spiritual framework. And we have to show up on the battlefield. All things the conservative lacked.
The failure of the conservative was to play the occasional defense while the enemy played constant offense.
It should come as no surprise that they lost so thoroughly and resolutely.

Apparently, hell isn’t an exclusive sort of party. Everybody’s invited, including every single child which is why they’re trying to turn all of them into trannies. Initially, this would appear as some sort of conundrum. If all the kids are trannies, rather quickly there would be no more kids to turn into trannies.
It gets worse actually. While trannies are marketed as capable of productive employment, this really isn’t true. Take the case of Sam Brinton Floyd. He was supposed to be in charge of some sort of nuclear stuff, but he spent his time stealing women’s luggage from the airport and “handling” homos dressed as dogs. They just gave him a job in an office. Although this normally involves real work for a straight white man, it doesn’t for most other demographics.
A nation perpetuates itself using real humans who do real human stuff like reproduce and perform honest, productive labor. To the extent trannies generate a dollar in the private sector, it’s often through prostitution. That’s not really a safe profession in general, but when trannies get involved, it turns into a kill or be killed type of enterprise. Not long ago, it was understood that trannies were thoroughly dangerous creatures.
In fact, trannies were considered so unsettling you had to see them in a Rated R movie. There were plenty of movies of men dressed as women, but they were comedies about a straight man dressed up as a woman for whatever hijinks. They weren’t sadistic killers propelled by their sexual perversions.

Maybe this will get adapted as a Lifetime movie. See, this deceased ghoul is what they want to start hiring as a school lunch lady. None of this stuff is a feasible proposition for a society even for the short-term, like a couple generations or so. It might only take one generation fully immersed in this horror to fall apart. That seems to be what we’re watching right now. In response, people like myself become activated and go around decrying Satanism and telling anyone who will listen about The End Times and how they need to save their souls. That’s not exactly a stable dynamic.
I’m old enough to remember when this place was all about ‘Murica. Back in those days, there weren’t anywhere near as many American flags on display as the LGTBQIA+ stuff we’re confronted with everywhere we go. Not putting an American flag on your cubicle didn’t mean anything, either. These days, you’re placing your job at risk by not having tranny flair on display.
The other thing is that, in retrospect, the gay stuff was just an onramp to the real agenda of turning everyone into a tranny which is now plainly obvious. Before he gets too sick, one can decide to stop doing gay activities, reform his life and start a family. This is even more common with the “lesbians” who generally don’t do anything sexual at all.
So, the initial agenda wasn’t acceptable from an end game perspective. It was just a step. By contrast, a tranny is “locked in” once the mutilations and injections begin. They only way out is suicide because the path to a normal, healthy life has been cut off. Clearly, this is where they wanted to take everyone all along.
The other thing that wasn’t going on since the Garden of Eden, or perhaps back when witches were a widespread problem, is how much this destructive process is done by women. They’re clearly being driven to sacrifice their children to Satan. When the gays dress up as leather animals to get beaten with riding crops, one can infer this isn’t a female-driven activity. Not so with the child sacrifice.
Virtually no adult would seek to mutilate themselves unless some nefarious entity put the idea in their heads and convinced them it would solve all their problems. That’s especially true with children. A child can’t opt to become a tranny. They don’t even understand the concept of a tranny. Mom has to do that to them for her own evil reasons.

If dad objects, the courts will have none of it. We can expect lots more of these cases in the coming years. How many years we’ve got coming before this stuff leads to calamity is an open question. However, the calamity part isn’t. Every single time. Have a wonderful day, everybody!

I have a friend who’s a fellow anti-vax diehard. I pointed out to her how a certain group of people were integral to the effort to force this stuff on us and how to spot them and their classic scams. A couple days later, she’d become Eva Braun. Dissidents often proceed from realizing the truth about one grievance to adopting the full spectrum of dissent virtually overnight.
I’ve noticed that any particular grievance can serve as an onramp for the highway that leads to the comprehensive truth. I suppose we should be grateful there’s so much to to be pissed off about these days. Simply blaming “libtards” offers little in the way of explanatory or predictive value to the inquisitive mind, they need something that connects dots.
What I frequently point out to such individuals is that if the entire MSM and everyone in any respectable position is saying the same thing, this is a red flag that it’s an outrageous lie. It’s something that they recognize right away. Black lives mattering, Russia, the gay stuff, climate change, “white people bad” – the whole nine yards. Somehow, it doesn’t always dawn on them that these are systemic issues pushed by the same people, so it helps to point that out.
So the world is falling apart and we're spending all this time talking about gay marriage? Pretty depressingly frivolous.
— Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) January 8, 2012
The other thing is to point out the escalatory nature of the system. Phenomena like the rapid transition from gay marriage to child trannies or how we went from Al Gore’s stupid global warming movie to confiscating farms and shutting down agricultural production make stating your case pretty easy. That’s where you can explain how there’s something fundamentally Satanic at work. All of this evil insanity can lead only to a civilizational implosion, so why is it being pushed?
One key obstacle we face is that a lot of the issues we spread awareness on are so dark and disturbing that people choose not to believe what’s right in front of them, on what I guess is a subconscious level, because the implications are so dire they can’t accept the truth and maintain their emotional health. I don’t really know what to do about this.
I struggle with it sometimes because I can’t rationalize away the fact that much of what’s going on is The End Times in nature. Setting all these other existential issues that will never be up for a vote aside, the majority of the population has injected themselves with a substance which has permanently altered their DNA and that of any offspring. Now, it appears this this altered DNA might eventually get passed to those who refused the injections. All of this was deliberately done to us by people with even worse plans in store, which they discuss publicly.

Every year, the effects of what’s been done are going to get worse. My entire extended family took these injections, how long will I have them? There are questions that make me so disturbed that I avoid pondering them, so I get that aspect of avoiding dissent. I tell myself that worst case scenario, Christ returns to set things right. I never used to have such a biblical concept of where my life was headed. Up until 2020, I actually still figured I’d do my career until my 60’s and then retire. I’m pretty sure now that life won’t have such a gentle slope.
All we can really do is what we know is right. It’s not hard to determine what side you should be on when one is confiscating children from their parents in order to mutilate them into demons. So, I guess I’ll wrap it up by stating that I value this clarity.

What do you do if you want to rewrite the history books to remove anything or anyone you disagree with? First, you brand those in opposition to you as traitors to your agenda. Having done that, you then take the next step, which is to totally remove them from the history books and shove them down George Orwell’s “Memory Hole.” Out of sight, out of mind, you reason. Future generations must not be aware of these people or the causes they stood for because, after all, you disagree with them, and so they need to disappear.
This is being done in this country to a large degree regarding the War of Northern Aggression aka the “Civil War.” Those that are doing this are the heirs of the French Revolution. That war was this country’s French Revolution – and we have yet to recover from it. If we continue in our present direction, we never will – and the radical socialists and communists will have won.
I received two letters from good friends who are Southern patriots this week. Interestingly, both are from Oklahoma, though I doubt these two know one another. One dealt with the expunging of all things Confederate from West Point – all memorabilia, statues, plaques, anything that honors or mentions anyone Confederate. That would have to include Robert E. Lee, who served as superintendent of West Point for a period of time. So, what do you do with the history of West Point while General Lee ran it? You just ignore that. As far as you are concerned, that never happened. So, the Deep State socialists, after branding Lee a traitor, which he wasn’t, will now attempt to remove any memory of him from West Point! Down the memory hole!
The other letter dealt with the same situation regarding Arlington National Cemetery removing the memory of anyone Confederate. That cemetery is on land once owned by Robert E. – well, you know – someone we can’t talk about anymore because the Deep State socialists don’t like him!
One has to wonder what will be substituted for real history when the removal of the memory of anything Confederate is completed. Who will the Northern armies have gone into combat with at Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Pittsburg Landing, Elkhorn Tavern, – phantom armies from a period of history that now exists only in the Memory Hole? This seems to be where we are headed.
Our “history,” if it can even be called such anymore, is being rewritten by radical socialists who are busily removing everything they don’t agree with. “Civil War,” what Civil War? Robert E. Lee, who was he anyway? Radical socialists and communists in the North, including many in Lincoln’s administration and his armies? Well, no way José, it just didn’t happen! Who told you that anyway? Must have been some “conspiracy theorist!” Older history books that mention all this, just pay them no mind. Toss them out and read one of the “new” history books that will give you the real scoop on all the stuff we say never happened.
That’s where we are at, folks. Down with the old, even though much of it is accurate – and up with the new – even though most of it is historical fertilizer! After all, the Deep State, via their public school system, has a generation to indoctrinate, but not to educate! At some point, the truth will catch up with them. But they can’t see that far ahead. All truth is God’s truth and will be vindicated at some point – even if most of us will not live to see it.

I’ve never really been a formal “New Year Resolution” kind of guy. What I mean is that, like many of you I’m sure, I’m generally a pretty private person all around, and always have been (this is a main reason I have never had a Facebook account, or a Twitter account, for example). As such, I tend not to go about announcing my (short or longer-term) plans of personal betterment for the future with strangers, even when it’s basically innocuous personal self-improvement type stuff like ‘exercising more and eating more heathy’ that virtually all can relate to or identify with. My personal shortcomings (as well as my strong suits) are mostly my own business that few need to know about, other than The Almighty, and a very select few persons within my close circles of kith and kinship.
“Don’t ask me no questions, and I won’t tell you no lies,” as the old adage has it.
That much said, I certainly feel comfortable sharing with y’all at least a couple of personal aspirations I hope (and will strive) to achieve, or at least personal defects I aspire to significantly improve upon, during the course of the next 360 odd days or so; particularly with respect to my participation in Southern Nationalist activities and my related contributions at this site. Two of the main ones are as follows:
But all of the above was just a prelude to what I’m most interested in learning from you, dear reader: I’m most interested in knowing what some of your New Year Resolutions for 2023 are. I’m not asking you to share your “innermost secrets and defects” of course, but those more or less innocuous personal defects and failings (we all have them) of yours you aspire to improve upon or even fully correct in the coming days and months; those natural human shortcomings or ‘less than laudable’ proclivities of yours that you may safely share with the rest of us, “without hesitation or mental reservation.”
Be duly warned, however, that “anything you say can and will be held against you in [the court of Southern Nationalist opinion],” courts of American jurisprudence wholly notwithstanding. Therefore, if at length you decide to “plead the 5th” and exercise your right to remain silent, I for one will perfectly understand and defend your decision to the hilt. No guarantees on how anyone else within our circles will interpret or respond to your “right to remain silent” and to “lawyer-up,” though. Everything has its drawbacks.
The post What is Your New Year Resolution? appeared first on Identity Dixie.
(Note to readers: Below is Chapter IX of my book, The Life and Times of Matthew Fontaine Maury, Pathfinder of the Seas. Ten additional chapters of the book have been published here at Identity Dixie to date, and may be found throughout my contributor pages, beginning here.)
Superintendent of the Navy’s Depot of Charts and Instruments was not an especially coveted position for a naval officer of lieutenant Maury’s qualifications, and there was some expression of dissatisfaction with the appointment on his behalf from many of his friends, as well as a number of his relatives. But Matt was satisfied with the new position and accepted the appointment without hesitation or mental reservation. Truth told, he was just relieved to be back in active service following the long layoff resulting from the debilitating injuries he’d suffered from the unfortunate coach accident two years before. Whether he was overqualified or not was of little concern to Matt; he fully intended to make the most of the new post no matter what.
As a naval officer in his seventeenth year of service, Matt was very much aware of the existence of the Depot of Charts and Instruments, and, accordingly, sufficiently familiar with the nature of that office’s operations. Indeed, he had sought the assistance of the depot’s staff in his attempts at determining the fastest route to Rio de Janeiro as sailing master of the Falmouth some eleven years before in 1831. So, in addition to his passing knowledge of that office and its operations, he had direct experience with the depot as well. During the intervening years between that appointment and now, operations at the Depot had certainly improved in certain respects and to a degree beneficial to the Navy and its overall effectiveness, but Matt believed the institution had yet to fulfill the hundredth part of its full potential if only its management were to be placed under guidance of the right man and a new and better system. Matt truly believed he was the right man for the job, with the right system needed to transform the depot from one of very limited means and effectiveness, to one that would become the envy of leading maritime nations the world over.
In addition to its inventory of charts and instruments, the Depot was also home to an extensive and ever-growing collection of old ships’ log books dating back twenty, thirty, even as much as forty years. No one previously under the employ of the depot had ever known quite what to do with these old ships’ logs; it had become the habit of the officers there to store them away, unopened and unread, in an unused room in the basement of the facility, out of sight and out of mind. And this practice was kept up until shortly after Matt took over command of the Depot.
These old dust covered log books were certainly out of sight and out of mind. But upon surveying his new offices, Matt soon discovered the room in which they were housed and was intrigued by its curious contents. The junior staff officers who had stayed on when he took the reins at the Depot confidently assured lieutenant Maury that these dusty old log books were of little to no value to the Navy, and confided in him that they had always considered them a nuisance and had recommended before that they be discarded or thrown away to free up much needed space. But Matt wasn’t so sure.
During the first few weeks of his command at the new post, Matt would begin rummaging through the pages of the old ship’s logs one by one, and he soon began to realize that his new position had inadvertently landed him atop a Scientific Mariner’s gold mine. Although there was no uniform or systematic way in which the entries were made, and no two logs were therefore very much alike between covers, virtually all of them nonetheless contained very useful and valuable information on winds and currents at sea along the courses of various routes to scores of ports, and during all seasons of the year. Many of them also contained barometer readings, as well as entries noting compass variations along their routes. These entries were the “gold” awaiting discovery in the “mine” that was a damp room in the basement of the Navy Depot of Charts and Instruments.
Instantly a plan began to formulate in Matt’s active mind of how to extract the scientific information from these old, long-forgotten dust collectors and to organize it in such a way so as to make it most beneficial to American seamen on their future voyages to and from faraway ports. One thing was certain: in the state in which he found it, this large collection of old sea logs had heretofore served no useful purpose, and had indeed been needlessly taking up valuable space at the depot that might otherwise have been put to better use. The general attitude among his staff concerning the logs was therefore understandable, Matt thought, although he believed this attitude was more attributable to a fault of the head than of the heart. It therefore became his first goal to correct this attitude among the staff officers under his charge.
Once he had worked out the details of a satisfactory plan for resurrecting the old sea logs from the dust bin, lieutenant Maury called a staff meeting and explained to his officers what he had discovered “hidden in plain sight” in the old ships’ logs, and his general plan for systematizing and making the information useful to seafaring men in the future. His plan, which he hoped aloud they would lend their cheerful assistance in putting into immediate operation, was that each staff officer would be assigned one log book, and would spend a portion of his work day pouring through its contents, extracting from its pages entries on wind direction and speed, current direction and strength, temperature and barometer readings, compass deviations and so forth; he would make notations of the exact coordinates at which these readings were taken, as well as of the time and date, and make a notation, for future consideration, of any additional information he considered to be potentially valuable. Once the officer had extracted all the useful information from his assigned log book, then it would be indexed and filed away in an orderly fashion and the officer in question would then be assigned another log from the collection, with which he would repeat the process. As there were hundreds of log books stowed away in the basement, and as each of them contained hundreds and even thousands of such entries, lieutenant Maury explained that their work would be difficult and tedious, and would perhaps take years to complete. But he assured them that the benefits would far outweigh the costs of their labors when their work was finally done.
The officers on staff quickly came to understand the great and untold value of the work lieutenant Maury was proposing, and they each pledged to him, and to one another, that they were on board with the plan one hundred percent and would move mountains, if need be, to see the great and noble work through to its completion. Right away these young officers knew that lieutenant Maury was a very different kind of a “chief” under whose supervision they had ever before worked, in that office or elsewhere. And straightaway they set about their new work with a keen sense of direction, of pride, and of absolute unanimity of purpose, the likes of which none of them had ever experienced before.
When news got out that H.W.D.C. Wright had smashed the average sailing time to and from Rio by following lieutenant Maury’s sailing directions, ship masters and captains from all over the country began to clamor for their own copies of Maury’s charts and sailing directions. By 1843, just one year after Maury and his staff began the tedious work of organizing the scientific data simultaneously being extracted from the old log books, enough progress had already been made in the project for Maury to write and publish a scientific paper on the subject. The publication of this paper would arouse general interest in the project while Maury and his staff continued to pour through the old log books at their disposal as quickly and efficiently as unavoidable constraints on their time by the imposition of other duties would allow.
Meanwhile, the difficulty of their labors did not dissuade Maury’s staff; to the contrary, each member of the team had already begun to realize that their work was producing beneficial results that before none of them, except lieutenant Maury himself, had ever dreamed of. The practical realization of those benefits to the broader seafaring world would not come until some years later, but all hands knew by now that they would definitely come. Work on the project was fast becoming a “labor of love” for most of Maury’s staff, and everyone seemed now to come to work every day with a renewed sense of purpose, eager to advance the project forward, and to learn in the process what new and valuable insight or discovery the new day might bring.
Four more years would pass before enough data would be collected and organized for lieutenant Maury to publish his first Winds and Currents Chart of the North Atlantic, as that map would come to be called. All of the information for which had been extracted from the “quarry” of old ships’ logs stored in the basement at the depot. Shortly following the success of H.W.D.C. Wright in reducing the average sailing distance to and from Rio by more than a month of days, Maury would capitalize on the new interest in his work by making available for issue, to all who should apply, his Abstract Log for the Use of American Navigators. But in order to achieve the greatest benefit in the least time and at the least expense, he would need to obtain permission from the Navy to make his Winds and Currents Chart available to private merchant vessels as well, free of charge to their captains, on the condition that they agree to cooperate in the scheme by collecting data on their voyages, to be entered several times daily into the Abstract Log, and to turn the log over to the Depot once back at home port.
The idea of the Abstract Log was something Maury had conceived years before, but it would only be useful in his scheme if and when the log were issued to hundreds of vessels sailing for scores of foreign ports and back at any given time of the year. The more of the Logs that were issued, the better. If the cooperation of hundreds of ships captains could be obtained in collecting and furnishing the data Maury sought, and all according to the singular plan systematized in the Abstract Log, then and only then might the real work begin of making and providing highly reliable charts of winds and currents at sea, and of printing recommended sailing directions to and from scores of ports during all seasons of the year. This would be the realization of the vision lieutenant Maury’s imagination had formed from the moment the idea of the Abstract Log came into his head during that memorable voyage on the Falmouth more than a decade before.
With the success of H.W.D.C. Wright in proving the practicality of following lieutenant Maury’s sailing directions and Winds and Currents Chart, came the opportunity to put the Abstract Log to broad and practical use. These events would usher in a new dawn in the history of maritime navigation; they would bring honor and respect to the U.S. Navy, and would make the name Matthew Fontaine Maury among the most recognizable in the world for many decades to come.

There are few of us that would argue that the leftists have much of a stable psychology at all. But there is a factor of their psyche that is glaringly consistent among the entire leftist population.
That factor is a predilection for no responsibility.
It is not just that the leftists are irresponsible, but that their entire philosophy revolves around desiring absolutely no responsibility in their personal life. They simply don’t want to have any responsibilities for anything.
While this is true in every leftist, it is especially prevalent in the Antifa types.
Consider just a few of their positions:
[As an informational note: I am not arguing that all of these positions are inherently bad or incorrect. I actually agree with some of them, such as ‘defunding police‘ (federal) and ‘high taxes‘ (on the isolated class). It is about the underlying root philosophy that leads one to the position. The leftists reach these beliefs because they do not want responsibility. Others—like myself—could favor certain positions for entirely sensible reasons.]
Put simply, the leftist wants someone else to take care of them in every single avenue of life, so they don’t have to do it. This is why they generally favor Big Gov, and have no issue with the state directing their every action. They want that state daddy, probably because many of them never had a good relationship with their birth father.
In their dream utopia, they have no responsibilities. Someone else does everything for them. That way, they do not have to feel bad about being irresponsible, because there is nothing that they are supposed to be responsible for.
Any policy that makes the leftist personally responsible for anything is the enemy.
The leftist does not see this psychology as a bad thing. They justify it in their heads by creating this worldview that everyone is, or should be, exactly like them. If they aren’t, then those people must be trying to exploit everyone else. The leftist then views anyone that is opposed to this position as someone who wants to harm them. Because they don’t believe that anyone truly wants to be in a free condition. Everyone then needs a caretaker to defend them against these exploiters and strip them of responsibility. So, why not let the state do it?
This is also why they believe they hold the moral position of “compassion”. Because they don’t see it as domination (which it is), but rather sympathy (which it isn’t). They mistake the two, because they themselves would find it compassionate to be dominated, so they are absolved of responsibility. They do not grasp that others, like us, are fine with duty and obligation.
And therein is why the “personal responsibility” argument does not work on the leftist. You are arguing in favor of their archnemesis.

The post The Psychology of the Leftist appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Culture is not an abstraction, it is a living, breathing entity comprised of a people. If a people are virtuous, pious, and industrious, the culture will be a reflection of its people. Conversely, if a people deteriorate into depravity, apathy, and slovenliness, it will be mirrored in the culture. Culture, like a people, has a life cycle – from birth and its ascension to its decline. Cultural rebirth is possible, but it requires a Herculean effort to stave off decline, particularly when internal and external pressures are advocating for its collapse, or when triggering the renascence of a culture long deceased.
To be clear, Southern culture will not survive as long as it is tied to the American Empire – both politically and socially. At present, Southern culture is a sub-category of the prevailing American “multiculturalism.” However, it is reviled culture (and people) within the United States, as both Southern culture and the traditional Southern people are diametrically opposed to modern Americanism. For Southern Nationalists, one of the primary concerns regarding Southern culture is that it will be absorbed and consumed by Americanism should the Southern States remain in a political union with the United States government. American culture is already exported throughout the globe, and its primary aim is to destroy all indigenous peoples and cultures within its path.
Domestically, the American Empire requires all cultures within its realm to be devoured by modern Americanism. In turn, this will produce a more docile, predictable, and, more importantly, controllable population. This aggressive cultural digestion applies even to Protestant-heavy Heritage America, traditional Catholics, and all the way down to recent Muslim immigrants. In the end, all groups inside the sphere of American influence will become “good little Americans.” However, what is Americanism, or modern American culture?
The current American culture is not John Wayne and apple pie. It is certainly not gun-toting, country music blaring, Bible thumping reactionaries in pick-up trucks (those are elements of Southern culture, and typically exaggerated and extracted to rural, “country” areas of the United States). Old American culture had many positive things, but it now acts as an internal foil to contemporary Americanism. American culture is also not pro-family or pro-Christian, it is even vehemently opposed to good health, financial stability, literacy, and common sense. Americanism is a lewdness unfathomable to the Western world a century ago, a promotion of stupidity and imprudence warned about in Aesop’s Fables, and holds a deep loathing for Christianity, masculinity, aesthetics, and its foundational history and people.
In short, Americanism can best be described as a 24/7 commercial starring crossdresser RuPaul as he twerks and pitches the benefits of a predatory reverse home mortgage to obese diabetics and simpletons. It is masquerading flashy bright colors and hypnotic jingles for mental peasants that have had their natural uncanny valley instincts programmed out of them through a subscription streaming service and public education. It wants its victims greatly in debt, medicated, mentally ill, stupid, sterile, and homogenized into a cocoa-colored McDonald’s Happy Meal.
Below are objective and measurable characteristics of Americanism. Identity Dixie did not make these up. A cultural resurgence is not possible when you’ve reached this point of no return. American culture cannot be saved, much less reformed to 1950s Americana. Whereas there is still a glimmer of hope that Southern culture can be rescued through political balkanization and Southern sovereignty, Americanism is so atrocious and hated (internationally and domestically via the Dissident Right) that it is unsustainable in the short to intermediate term – a culture that promotes child mutilation (“gender affirming care”) over having actual children has a short shelf-life, thank God.
Per Axios reporting in February of last year, and based on a Gallup survey from 2021, the percentage of U.S. adults who identify as a homosexual or transexual has doubled over the past decade, from 3.5% in 2012 to 7% in 2021. Gen Z adults, who identify as such, increased from 10.5% in 2017 to 21% in 2021. Millennials, from ages 26 to 41, identifying as sexual reprobates also increased from 6% in 2012 to 10.5% in 2021. Note: this is based off data from a couple of years ago, and we’re now in 2023. The likelihood that these concerning numbers will increase is certainly inevitable. A growing population of mentally ill perverts and homosexuals is not viable, and we know how it spreads.
A Pew Research Center survey from 2021 observed that an increasing number of American adults, who are not already parents, are unlikely to ever have children, and their reasoning ranges from simply not wanting to have children to laughable concerns regarding “climate change.” Some 44% of non-parents, from ages 18 to 49, indicated that it is unlikely or a certainty that they will never have children, an increase of 7% from the 37% who specified the same in a 2018 survey. In a 2022 study of 1,500 adults in Michigan, it was determined that 22% of them do not want to have children and, therefore, have opted to be “childfree.” That same study estimates that childfree Americans are unfortunately quite common, comprising over one-fifth of the population (extrapolating the data throughout the domestic American Empire). Additionally, that 2022 analysis discovered that the “age-to-decision” (not having children) for most of these anti-natalist adults was “early in life.” Wonder why? That’s a rhetorical question.
Americans are reading fewer books than at any point since 1990. Also according to Gallup, American adults read an average of 12.6 books in 2021. That’s roughly three fewer books than what the same survey reported in 2016, and the smallest number Gallup has measured in more than three decades. The number of Americans reading more than 10 books per year dropped 8% between 2016 and 2021. Based on a 2021 Pew Research Center survey, approximately a quarter of American adults (23%) indicated that they did not read a book, in whole or in part, in the previous year – in print, electronic, or even audio format. Furthermore, according to the U.S. Department of Education, over half of Americans (54%) aged between 16 to 74 years old – or about 130 million people – read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level. In case you need to be reminded, a sixth grader is usually 11 years old.
Per a recent OnePoll survey of 2,000 American adults over the age of 30, six in ten (59%) Americans credited a celebrity with helping them through a challenging part of their lives. Those celebrities included: Oprah Winfrey, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Bear Grylls, Rebel Wilson, and Tyler Perry. They chose a celebrity over Christ, and this is not to be unexpected considering the status of Christianity within Americanism. In the early 1990s, about 90% of the people in the American Empire identified as Christian. In 2020, Christians accounted for about 64% of the United States population, including children. That’s a fairly significant decline and within the lifetime of all of the Identity Dixie writers. Additionally, those who are not affiliated with a religion has grown from 16% in 2007 to a staggering 30% in 2020. Expect that number to rapidly increase year-over-year.
Roughly two out of three U.S. adults are overweight or obese (69%) and one out of three are obese (36%) per the Harvard School of Public Health. Although, obesity rates are higher in black, Hispanic, and Mexican-American adults than in White adults. If Americanism trends continue, by 2030, estimates predict that roughly half of all men and women will be obese. That obesity trend should also not be surprising, since the CDC recorded that 37% of American adults consumed fast food on a given day (that’s from 2016 data, too). Moreover, 83% of American families eat at fast food restaurants at least once a week, which would help explain why approximately 20% of American children and adolescents are obese.
Not only does American culture create overweight, illiterate nincompoops, but they’re also divorced from their own family history. Ancestry.com and OnePoll discovered through their survey research that 34% of Americans cannot trace their family tree past their grandparents, and a third of them couldn’t even name all four of their grandparents. A fifth of survey participants (21%) were unable to name just one of their great-grandparents. So, when a crusty Twitter leftist attempts to describe their great-grandfather (who landed at Anzio, for example) as an “antifascist,” please realize that they very likely don’t even know his name or what city he was born in.
The old American culture encouraged thrifty behavior and protecting one’s savings – usually to ensure that families created generational wealth. That is no longer the case with Americanism, and this is for good reason: the American Empire wants its subjects in debt and poor. This is facilitated within the modern culture and under the guise of “consumerism.” As of last September, American consumer debt was at $16.5 trillion, with the average American consumer debt at $96,371. The overall debt figure includes credit card balances, student loans, mortgages, etc. Credit card debt increased by almost $40 billion during the third quarter of 2022, a record for the third quarter of any year, according to WalletHub. This was the largest year-over-year increase in more than 20 years. Again, not sustainable, and certainly not beneficial to the American people.
There are an almost endless number of other issues that can be explored regarding the depravity of Americanism. However, the critical component is the Southern people, and Dixian culture, chained to the Leviathan on the Potomac. Its appetite is insatiable; it will, given another generation of unrelenting progress, destroy our culture until nothing is left, except Americanism. Peaceful, political secession is the only recourse to save our Southern children from being groomed, to keep our churches faithful to the Bible, to continuing hearing Southern accents, to restore financial sanity, and to carry on with civilization.
Push for secession in 2023. For if we fail, our posterity will not identify as Southerners – instead, they’ll be something else entirely. They’ll be Americans.

My grandma was the first Irish migrant to these United States within my immediate family. Her brother migrated to America first, at the age of twelve. He and another boy came earlier in 1920 – sent by their mothers (my great grandmother and great-great aunt) after their fathers (my great grandfather and his brother) were killed by the British. The boys worked and saved enough to buy property in the United States. By 1930, at the age of 22, my great-uncle had a palatial home on the Hudson River, a wife, a few children, and properties from Florida to Maine. In the mid-1930s, when my grandma set sail from Belfast Port, he had gifted her property in central Florida. At that time, the only way to come to America was to own land and show you had a job. Her brother ensured they had jobs necessary to comply with migration laws at the time.
When she arrived, she took no charity from her brother, beyond that which he provided in the form of land necessary to arrive. She scrubbed floors and did laundry – half of the proceeds of which went home to her mother and other sisters. Eventually, she got work as a nanny for a well-off family. Not long after, she met and married my grandfather – a fellow Irish immigrant in the U.S. Army – down in Tallahassee on the eve of World War II. They made babies (my mother among them), went or waited through a war, and eventually went back to work as if nothing had happened between 1939 – 1945 (1941 for the Americans). They did all that they could to ensure the American dream was possible for their children and grandchildren.
They never lived to see the land I now own, nor that which I will eventually bequeath to my children – their great grandchildren. They never made it to see the advanced graduate degrees their various grandchildren would achieve. They never saw the heights to which many in the family would climb.
In effect, they were the cornerstone of an American story. At no time did they lament the lack of subsidies to make it easier for them. They never complained that their lot was not to end up in a multimillion-dollar home. They simply got to work – in terms of both employment and building a family. Their role was that of a cornerstone – establishing a foundation that would eventually be covered over time. As future generations marvel at the heights of a grand structure, they often ignore that first critical piece. There it sits, often covered by shrubbery, ivy, or ignored by other impressive features. Yet, without it, there is nothing else.
You and I, as well as so many men and women in the Dissident Right may never be known. Our names will long be forgotten generations after the SPLC is outlawed and the antifa is eradicated. Our images will be wiped from eternity, beyond that which is written in the Book of Life. We are neither the roof nor the gables of resistance. We are not the grand archway. We are not the mesmerizing columns. We are cornerstones of a unique movement – sacrificing now for the betterment of our people in the future.
Too many in the Dissident Right seek immediate gratification. They long for name recognition. They struggle to be heard and seen. But to what effect are they achieving for their people?
We are at a unique juncture in time. Very few of the names of the early Christian leaders who martyred themselves on behalf of Jesus Christ are remembered. They never thought to themselves that their names would bring glory to them. They knew that their sacrifice would bring Glory to God.
The question everyone should ask themselves is the following: do I care more about the future than the present? It is a poignant question, because so many of our forebearers answered through actions and deeds. They never stopped to consider selfish personal gratification at the expense of future generations. They thought about that which was necessary for the children of tomorrow.
If the Dissident Right is going to grow, it will need spokesmen and content producers. It will also need humble “doers.” It will need the scribes, accountants, cooks, and post conference clean-up volunteers. It needs people who know their long-term, silent support is more important than boisterous proclamations by short-term heroes.
Let us all be cornerstones. Building an enduring legacy takes sacrifices that goes beyond fleeting fame. It takes teams of commitment. No single individual can do it all. No single voice can move the masses. No single author can inspire the spirit.
We must all work toward a future we may never see. The satisfaction we will enjoy shall come from the knowledge that generations down the line, the South will be free. Our descendants will be citizens of an Independent Dixie thanks to the work we do today.

I recently booked some flights and had the choice of making a connection either in Istanbul or Tokyo. The Istanbul route is a bit too close to the fun for my comfort, so I took the more oriental option. Then again, we seem to be heading right into global war so I might as well throw caution to the wind. If you don’t have a well-stocked bunker to take shelter with your female ~~captives~~ companions, there’s probably no safe place to hide.
In my bunker, she’d never even dream of escaping. I recently came across a heartwarming piece from the NYT which essentially declares Putin to be “a bitch made n**a” and, as such, NATO should just do whatever it wants to him because he has no red lines. Ukraine was recently able to use HIMARS (American weapon system operated by American contractors using American targeting information) to blow up a barracks and kill 63 Russian soldiers. It’s received gleeful coverage in the Western media.
Every day, NATO commits multiple acts of war against Russia and these people gloat about it. Putin’s goal is clearly to resolve the situation in Ukraine to Russia’s satisfaction while keeping it from escalating. However, he’s also warned that Russia is prepared for the big one and, if that happens, they’re going straight for the throat, “decision making centers” as he refers to it.
None of the Europeans I talk to seem cognizant of the fact that the continent’s critical infrastructure is quite vulnerable to Russian missiles. They all point out that Russia is so weak it can’t get past Donbass so there’s nothing to worry about to the West. They can’t seem to understand that once critical pipelines and cables get severed, their lives would descend into a nightmare fast.
The basic narrative is that Russia is losing very badly but we need avoid sufficiently infuriating them into launching nukes at us. However, if NATO decides to go in, we’d wipe them out quick. Very smart, educated people believe this nonsense because it’s all they’ve been presented with on the matter. Moreover, the decision makers seem to be acting as if this is actually the case.
It’s amazing to behold. Imagine if Russia started a massive war on our southern border with the expressed intention of collapsing the U.S. economy and instigating civil strife to break up the United States into smaller polities that it can control. Then, they fed the Mexicans targeting information on an American cruiser off of San Diego which gets sunk. What if thousands of American soldiers and civilians had been killed by the Mexicans using Russian weapons and guidance? How long before things spiral into an all-out war?
Imagine being the president and trying to deal with situation in a contained fashion while killing as few Mexican civilians as possible. Meanwhile, the average American is getting progressively angrier and would prefer to see Mexico blasted into a crater. If this drags into its second year, as Americans are forced to watch Russians laugh at them, how long could you avoid direct confrontation?
There’s a Satanic self-righteousness at play where the instigators of this conflict think they can do anything to anyone. They don’t even believe the targets of their limitless aggression have the right to complain, let alone do something about it. Gaddafi couldn’t do anything about it. Putin is another story. It’s been determined that he doesn’t have the balls to take the world to war and so he’s aggressed upon accordingly. What if he decides the same thing about us?
What if his red line does get crossed and he decides to make a point? This idea that he has no red lines is absurd. Was this the case in Chechnya? Georgia? Syria? Ukraine? We’ve directly and indirectly killed a couple aircraft carriers worth of Russians. What if he decides to take one out? There’s really nowhere for them to hide unless they’re out in the wide open Atlantic or Pacific. Playing with fire is a cliché, but still quite appropriate for the current situation.
The former chief rabbi of Moscow, Pinchas Goldschmidt, turned to Russian Jews and urged them to leave the country. He predicts a new surge of anti-Semitism:
"Jews must leave Russia before they are blamed for all the hardships caused by the conflict in Ukraine," Goldschmidt said. pic.twitter.com/r9oIJ9KsHc

What an incomprehensible leap of reasoning to blame them for this war. I’m gonna send a check to Jonathan Greenblatt right away. These people never seem to get it until it’s too late. Although, showing their long-esteemed loyalty to their host nations, many fled Russia and Ukraine right away. Medvedev wants to confiscate the property of anyone who departed. He’s also declared that those who try to come back will have to “beg on their knees” but insists it would be better if they never return at all. It’s pretty funny because this rabbi is warning his people that the Russians are about to imagine a new grievance (trying to destroy their country) and imploring stragglers to escape before it gets acted on.
We’re at very alarming juncture because the ones running our country are facing a couple options: (a) escalate in an attempt to scare the Russians into halting so something can be salvaged of the project, or (b) walk away and take the loss. Their drive for global domination and the depth of their ethno-religious hatred for Russia probably won’t allow them to accept defeat. If this fails, the whole plan fails. They won’t even be able to get started on China. Iran will be doing better than ever. It’s beyond their capacity to leave other people alone and conduct themselves as decent human beings, so the general direction of where this will go is fairly obvious.
It’s like punching a giant man in the face and trying to give him a black eye while shouting that you want him dead and expecting him not to hit you back. Moreover, he keeps warning that he’s going to hit you back if you don’t stop. Sooner or later, you’re tasting blood. Somehow, you’re shocked at what happened. I wish they could just raise a kosher expeditionary force to go attack Russia and leave the rest of us out of it, but they never fight their own battles. It’s all so tiresome.
The entire country is becoming a laughingstock. Farce comes complete with soon to be annihilated Russian military props. https://t.co/8ipTrfAbIE

10 months into the war — 65 percent of Americans support continuing to arm Ukraine, 66 percent support continuing economic aid and 75 percent favor continuing sanctions on Russia. Ukraine is a bipartisan, unifying subject.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that the culture can be fixed directly by implementing some physical solution. For example, by changing a law or mandating certain things.
Many people also make the mistake that moral decadence is a by-product of the culture or something else that could be fixed directly.
You hear this often with the normiecons when they say things like “we just need to go back to the Constitution.” This implies a physical document will fix the spiritual ailments exhibited by the degenerative culture, which is wrong.
But you also hear this with the rational materialist dissidents when they say things like “we need a white ethnostate” or their other usual form of hyper-focus on genetics or some other physical piece. While the rational materialist may not be wrong on the physical reality, they also attempt to solve a spiritual problem with a physical solution.
In effect, both groups try to implement a physical solution to a spiritual problem. One group is just correct about the physical reality, whereas the other is not. But both miss the bigger picture of it being a spiritual problem.
Both of these will fail, because they attempt to use the lower to solve the higher.
All of Europe once had relatively pure white ethnostates with the genetics that the rational materialists desire, and that did not prevent them from ending up where they are now. We once followed the Constitution, and that also did not prevent where we are now. Because it’s not just about the physical reality, but the spiritual nature of the nation itself. It’s the soul of a people.
If that national soul is weak, it does not matter what physical thing you try to do to fix any spiritual problem, it simply won’t be fixed.
Instead, what actually needs to happen is that we need to start from a spiritual foundation.
Culture is an expression of the national soul. Therefore, culture has its roots in something else. It is not independent. The physical attributes of culture only appear because of the spiritual underpinnings that allow them to. This is why different peoples will display different souls, even given near exact same conditions.
Culture shows us the underlying soul of a people. It is why the culture is so different for us now than it was in the past. Because the soul has degenerated, thus the culture with it.
This is easily observable by comparing generational time periods. It can be done on a microscale by comparing the younger generations against the Boomers. Wherein, we clearly see a different soul of that generation, and therefore different cultural outputs, even to the point of beliefs and mindsets about things.
Or it can be compared on a macroscale. Compare all of those alive today to all of those alive during the Revolutionary period in America. It should go with little debate that the mindset of both generational time periods would be the polar opposite of one another. They wouldn’t even understand us, nor us them.
It is because our people’s soul is fundamentally different and has fundamentally changed.
It is not just that some random, cultural, physical pieces have changed. But that the true, incorporeal essence of the people was altered.
But if the culture is objectively degenerate, then the soul had already been degenerating for a long time to allow it to express in such a manner. It takes time for a soul to reflect in the culture.
I will repeat it ad nauseam: culture is not just the sum of all the physical inputs. It is not some lever that can just simply be swung up and down.
It can, however, be attacked with authoritarianism or totalitarianism. Note: I don’t mean these terms in the emotional sense, just the strict technical sense.
There’s only two ways to change a culture:
This is because culture is an output, even though we usually think of it as an input. Culture is the output of the national soul. If the soul is healthy within the national people, then the culture that is produced by those people will also be healthy. If it is not, it won’t.
This is where so many people get it wrong. They think they can fix the culture by altering cultural outputs or mandating cultural pieces, like production items such as art pieces, architecture, or media. But this is not how it works. Those pieces come from a very specific expression of a soul.
The only way to truly alter it on a permanent basis is through complete control over the items for a long period of time. Or, by fixing a broken national soul.
We often talk about the former instead of the latter. But the former is just a band-iid. It won’t repair the soul, it won’t correct the conditions that allowed the soul, and it won’t alter the system that allowed that soul to form.
What I’m trying to get at here is an understanding that there’s nothing we can really do in the tangible physical sphere to fix what’s happening to us. It is a spiritual issue. Therefore, it needs a spiritual solution.
The people that think this can be fixed in the physical realm are misguided and they are creatures of the very thing that has degenerated them (rational materialism demands a focus on the material, but this form of materialism itself is a degeneration of a normal position which includes the spirit).
They have the mindset beliefs, thought processes, morality, scientific understanding, and a plethora of other pieces of their soul that have been woven into them from degenerative modernity.
This is why dissidents, traditionalists, and similar groups tend to be so focused on getting people to withdraw from modernity. It is because in doing so, you’re not just breaking off physical ties; you are actually building a new national soul with a small group of enclaved individuals that is distinct from the current corrupt degenerative soul.
The materialist dissidents often still get this wrong on principle, even though they support the idea. This is because they think it’s just an economic factor of switching your financial support to some other physical arena or that the physical institutions will help us in the coming revolution. While they may be partially true, they miss the bigger picture. A true rebellion against this modern world involves a new spiritual beginning. We have to leave it spiritually to form that new soul. The physical aspects are a secondary benefit.
Take Franco, for instance. He was a great leader. He successfully fought off the Red Terror and defeated a horrifically corrupt, wicked leftism that was overtaking Spain at the time. But he could not sustain, because he only focused on the physical. He took over the institutions, and fought the war, and had the military – but he did not do enough for the national soul. So, once he was gone, so was his system. And the people began degenerating right again from where they left off under a new liberal democracy. There was no spiritual revival, only a temporary physical defense.
The exact same thing will happen here if we follow the rational materialists.
We need to withdraw from modernity. But we also need to start with the proper position, and that position does not include a physical beginning. We will not solve this with physical solutions. Any attempt to do so will fail.
Our nation has gotten to this point because evil has taken over key cultural institutions in an authoritarian manner and has used them to continually hammer the national soul for decades. We are also far too affluent for our own good. It has made us weak, tolerant, apathetic, afraid, and hopeless. This happened slowly at first without most of the older generations recognizing it. Now, it is happening fast with ours.
Which is why we have to break away, because we can’t reclaim those institutions, and we don’t have decades to alter it back to a healthy position on a civilizational level. We have to build our own, and that only comes through a natural gravitation of a people to something healthier. But we have to have that alternative first.
We are also all still stuck in this corrupt national soul, whether we like it or not. We need to be aware of this and cautious of everything that we consume and even as far as how we think, because this corrupt degenerative soul is still impacting us, even as we try to break away.
The spiritual revolution must start within each of us. We need to return to that core separation.
We need to think differently, we need a different morality, we need our own foundational myths, we need a different mindset toward our future, we need a different idea of beauty, and so on down the line. These are things that make up the inner core of who we are, and what we want our national soul to be. It truly begins with us.
If we don’t do this, then whatever end result we get at the end of this struggle will be merely physical and ever-changing just like the last.
The people so focused on data and science and physical components of this world don’t get this. But whatever creation they could come up with will be just as bad as this one given a few years ago, as history clearly shows.
We do not need more physical solutions for our spiritual problems.
And we do not need more of this corrupt modern world.
More so than anything else, we need a new, born-again soul.
And it starts with each of us.
Break away.

Happy New Year! It is two thousand, twenty-three years since the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is surprising we have made it this far. From the Black Plague to nuclear weapons, the human race has remained remarkably resilient. Despite all that, there appears to be a systemic desire to eradicate humankind or at least significantly cut the numbers. Our global elites seem hellbent on the notion of “sustainable population growth.” They define sustainability as a small group of predominantly White (and Jewish) and East Asian rulers over masses of compliant brown laborers. This is evident from the border crisis in the U.S., migrant crisis in Europe, and the targeted assassination of productive White people through a vaccine with an unusually high mortality rate.
Thus, 2023 is a year like none other. If you had told me on January 1st, 2020, that the United States would be locked down over a Chinese flu by spring, I probably would not have believed you, but I would have also heard stranger predictions. What makes 2023 more important is that it is year three in the post-Covid Era. It is the year before the next presidential election. It is a full congressional year prior to a presidential year. Normally, that means every move made by a politician will undergo rigorous poll testing before execution (i.e., nothing of substance will get done).
It is also the final full economic year prior to a presidential reelection. Generally speaking, recessions that take place a year prior to an election year are the most consequential, because it generally takes about eighteen months for a recession to hit the broader populace – just in time for voting. We have been in a technical recession since the summer of 2022, so 2023 will be interesting.
More importantly, however, is the fact that this is probably the last full year for the Dissident Right to achieve anything of consequence. If it fails in 2023, the following year will essentially begin the real hunt. Whereas the Dissident Right has felt persecuted for their views for at least the past decade, they have not dealt with any genuinely broad effort to eradicate them entirely. Yes, there have been arrests and occasional lawsuits. Yes, there has been online censorship. Yes, there has been a broader attack on freedoms of speech, religion, gun rights, and personal conscience. But the Dissident Right remains the most dangerous threat to the regime domestically because it continues to look saner relative to the regime’s official alternative. Therein lies the problem.
In order for the regime to succeed in its various programs – from White population replacement in the United States to gender dysphoria for the masses – there must be total conformity. The opposite is occurring. From Russia’s Putin to angry moms in Loudoun County, Virginia, the glue has come undone. As such, the regime must fight back if it will achieve its variety of goals, which I believe is tied to population control (i.e., sustainable population growth). The regime needs to eleminate its enemies. By enemies, I mean anyone not on board with their program.
Consequently, this is the last full year for the American Dissident Right to either prepare for a long struggle in the U.S. or prepare for a quick eradication immediately after the 2024 election is over. We have had years to do something meaningful and the best we can show are premature, but accurate predictions on American society’s collapse writ large. It is time to set aside the Cassandra Complex and time to get to work.
Within that understanding of our strategic situation, here are my ten predictions for 2023:
10. Trump will be out of the U.S. presidential race before 2023 is over: I suspect that the regime will do everything in its power to harass and intimidate the populist former president. Likely, this will come with criminal charges levied against his sons for some fabricated nonsense. The charges will be dropped on the condition that Trump walks away from politics altogether. Say what you will about Trump, he has very strong family bonds and I suspect his “Achilles Heel” (a love for his children) will be exploited to silence Trump once and for all. The other possibility is that the otherwise spritely septuagenarian dies “suddenly.”
9. Biden will not be running for reelection: This is an easy prediction. Joe Biden looks completely oblivious, confused, and he is prone to fits of rage consistent with a dementia patient. Whereas he is running nothing – this is Obama’s third term – his inability to inspire the masses to support Far Left radical programs will ensure that a new face enters the race. I strongly suspect either Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom are the 2024 Democrat candidates. Joe, an octogenarian, either announces he is out, or he passes away.
8. A major natural catastrophe: We are long overdue for some kind of massive natural catastrophe, like the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami or Hurricane Katrina in 2005. We have had some destructive events since that time, but nothing quite compares to those events, which seem to happen about once every fifteen years. Hurricane Sandy in 2012, for example, was largely destructive due to population centers building immediately on the coast in the American Mid-Atlantic and Eastern Canada – amplifying the damage of an otherwise modest Category 1 Hurricane. By major, I mean geological altering, like the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
7. Putin wins: The U.S. is incapable of sustaining its proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. The Europeans cannot fill that gap. The Ukrainians will be forced to negotiate a peace settlement that effectively cuts the country’s geography in half, ceding the Eastern ethno-Russian Oblasts to the Russian Federation in exchange for some minor concessions related to water rights. In essence, the U.S. will lose yet another war on the global stage.
6. Covid-23: A new variant of Covid will emerge towards the end of the year. It is the gift that keeps on giving to the Left. This new version will result in a need for more government spending, government action, lock-downs, masks, censorship, and, of course, voting changes. In reality, this will be designed to hide a significant financial correction (i.e., extremely painful economic crisis), as the world suddenly moves away from the U.S. dollar as the primary reserve currency, while simultaneously ensuring the regime’s primary actors remain in power.
5. Saudi Arabia-China-Russia announce a new currency system: The “Petro-Dollar” is not really a dollar. It is a basket of currencies that underlies the value of oil, of which, the most important currency is the U.S. dollar – to which it moves in tandem. The Saudis have already indicated that they will begin taking Chinese yuan instead of U.S. dollars from Beijing for oil. Russia has repeatedly sought an opportunity to undercut the Anglo-American banking system and showed the world it can thrive outside of that system. In order for the Chinese “Belt and Road Initiative” to work, it has to have greater control on the monetary systems used to facilitate trade along this massive supply chain project. Be prepared for the beginnings of an Asian “Euro” with a Chinese yuan foundation.
4. A 9/11-esque domestic terror attack: Perhaps not as bloody as September 11th, but significant nonetheless, be ready for a massive domestic terror attack. The groundwork has been laid out for a year. The repeated mantra that “White Nationalists” are the greatest threat to the United States… local level, bizarre attacks on electrical substations… entire agency resources dedicated to monitoring authors like me… The federal government has yet to prove the “White Terror Threat” is real. They will in 2023. Immediately thereafter, Republican Congressmen, like Dan Crenshaw, will argue for gun confiscation – to protect the children. The federal government will be the perpetrators – as they often are.
3. The Iranians get their nuke: This is long overdue. The Iranians have been fiddling with nuclear weapons for years and they have both greater resources and more powerful allies than North Korea. Recently, the U.S. delegation attempting to negotiate a settlement with Iran backed away, ostensibly due to internal riots over the death of Mahsa Amini. The U.S. does not walk away from negotiations in the middle of color revolutions they started unless they know they are about to lose face. They are about to lose face. The Iranians will get their nuke and Trump will be blamed, even though the Iranians never stopped seeking a nuclear weapon prior to Trump.
2. A U.S. government cryptocurrency emerges: The FTX fraud was not an accident. It was designed. At $32 trillion in debt, and likely to climb into further debt as a result of interest payments on that debt, the global economy decoupling from the U.S. dollar, and the “necessary” spending related to the terror attack, catastrophe, and Covid-23 I am predicting, the U.S. Treasury Department will officially get into the cryptocurrency markets, where it can more easily regulate spending, monitor transactions through blockchain information, and enforce compliance by means of easier financial lockouts. All of this will begin with Republican Congressional committee hearings on the FTX oversight (or lack thereof), coupled with a recommendation by a “bipartisan” committee to begin the creation of an official U.S. cryptocurrency.
1. The federal government comes after DeSantis: The odds-on favorite to win a Trump-less Republican presidential nomination, the federal government will use every resource at its disposal to besmirch, attack, and discredit the popular Florida governor. They perfected this strategy in 2014 with former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, ruining the life of Hilary Clinton’s strongest 2016 rival prior to the allegations of corruption (eventually, unanimously overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court). Since that time, the FBI has gone after every popular Republican candidate, presidential or not, who may be in a position for a higher office at some point in their respective careers. From Trump’s so-called Russia collusion case to vocal FBI critic, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, the American Stasi still takes orders from Obama. Ron DeSantis is not like other politicians. Hated by the Left, big corporations, and the media (Note: Disney owns ABC News), DeSantis will be the Quantico Stasi’s top target to destroy. Despite kind words from establishment Republicans which were clearly designed to cause a rift in the populist wing of the GOP – a trap into which an undisciplined Trump and his lackeys ran headfirst – DeSantis is not “one of them.” The Roman Catholic former SEAL JAG officer, who washed dishes to pay his way through an Ivy League education because he was denied minority scholarships and had no legacy admission grants, is dangerous because he is smart and knows how the system works (unlike Trump). From what I have heard, he also has a chip on his shoulder regarding being passed over for more lucrative roles after graduating from Harvard Law. I suspect some kind of fabricated “pay-for-play” scandal emerges out of the DOJ, targeting the squeaky-clean DeSantis.
In sum, 2023 will be a brutal year, but it will not be boring. Keep your head on a swivel this coming year. Prepare to work hard. This is really our last shot to get it right.

Grandson: “Grandpa, I asked my dad why we have to eat black-eyed peas every New Years, and he said I should ask you.”
Grandpa: “Did he? Well, then, let’s sit down and talk about it.”
Grandson: “Okay!”
Grandpa: “First of all, we should never think of it as having to eat black-eyed peas to bring in the New Year, like it’s a burden to us or something we don’t want to do; we should instead look upon it as an honor and a privilege that we do cheerfully and with gratitude and thanksgiving. Pay attention and I will explain why.”
Grandson: (look of attentive curiosity)
Grandpa: “We eat black-eyed peas on this day every year in remembrance of the suffering of our ancestors who lived over one hundred and fifty years ago; those ancestors of ours who in fact did have to eat black-eyed peas daily for a time, when there was almost nothing else for them to eat.”
Grandson: “A hundred and fifty years ago was a long time ago. How come they only had black-eyed peas to eat?”
Grandpa: “Yes, it was a long time ago, but not so long ago that we should forget what those people suffered and struggled through so that their posterity could live, and perhaps have an easier time of it than they had.”
Grandson: “Posterity? What is that?.”
Grandpa: “Posterity means the people that would come after them, like you and me. From their perspective looking forward to our time, we are their posterity; from our perspective looking back to when they lived, they are our ancestors. By “our ancestors,” I mean those men and women from days long gone by who are our blood relatives; who, had they not lived and married and had children together, we would not be here today having this conversation.
Grandson: “Oh, I understand now.”
Grandpa: At that time, a terrible sectional war began between the Northern, or Union States of America (USA), and the Southern, or Confederate States of America (CSA). You’ve probably heard it called the American ‘Civil War.’”
Grandson: “Oh, yeah, I’ve heard of the civil war before, but I don’t know much about it.”
Grandpa: “You will learn a lot about it as you get older. It wasn’t actually a civil war, but we can talk about what kind of war it really was and why another time. The war lasted four long years (1861-1865) in any case, and by the time the war was over more than 600,000 soldiers had died.”
Grandson: “Wow!, that is a lot.”
Grandpa: “Yes it is. But, notice that I did not say 600,000 American soldiers died in that war, as most people are led to believe: when we read the historical record and read it correctly, for ourselves from original sources, we cannot miss the fact that upwards of half of the northern army consisted of foreign-born mercenaries from several countries in Europe such as Germany and Ireland, etc.”
Grandson: “What are mercenaries?”
Grandpa: “Mercenaries are soldiers hired to fight in a foreign war, or, a war in another country not their own, and for a cause they have no real stake nor interest in either way.”
Grandson: “Oh, I think I see now. So these mer…how do you say it again? Someone hired them to come here from other countries to fight in our war? Who hired them? How did they get here?”
Grandpa: “Mer-cen-ar-ies. The northern government brought them over here on ships and hired them to fight on the union side and kill our ancestors, yours and mine.”
Grandson: “But, why would they do that, grandpa?! Were our ancestors bad people or something?
Grandpa: “No!, they were good people. But patience, m’boy, I’ll get around to answering your questions.
Now, in addition to the soldiers who were killed in that war, there were also many hundreds of thousands of non-combatant Southern civilians who died from exposure, disease and starvation because of the war.”
Grandson: “What does exposure mean?”
Grandpa: “Think about it like this: if you did not have a house, nor any other means of escaping the effects of cold temperatures, winter storms and so on, what do you think would happen to you over time? Exposure means that people are exposed to the elements, without access to proper shelter, and often even without warm clothing or blankets to protect them from the cold or bad weather.”
Grandson: “What happened to their houses and warm clothes?”
Grandpa: “I’ll tell you in a minute. But before we get to that, let’s go back further in time:
Many years before that terrible war, going all the way back to when white people first came to America, our ancestors (yours and mine) settled in various places in the Southern part of the country, including Virginia, and North and South Carolina. Many of their children and grandchildren later migrated to the west to mostly uninhabited and unimproved territories where they began to cultivate the land and helped to form new states such as Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, etc.”
Grandson: “What does cultivate mean?”
Grandpa: “Cultivate means to improve the land and make it productive through industry and hard work. It also means to beautify the land, and to make it more accessible or easier for people to move around on, coming and going from place to place to trade goods and services, visit with other families, go to church and so forth.”
Grandson: “Like making towns and roads and stuff like that?”
Grandpa: “Yes, exactly, like making towns and roads and stuff like that. Anyway, many of our (direct and indirect) ancestors fought in the war as Confederate soldiers – some of them were infantrymen, others were cavalrymen, others still fought in artillery units and so on. And there are a number of our ancestors who in fact lost their lives as soldiers in that terrible war.”
Grandson: “Do you know where they died, or where they are buried?”
Grandpa: “Some of them I do, others I don’t. Remind me later and I will tell you of the ones whose burial places I know of.
Now, it is impossible to put an accurate number to our non-combatant ancestors who also died as a result of the exposure, starvation and disease we talked about a minute ago, but it is safe to say they number in the hundreds, if not in the thousands.”
Grandson: “What is a non-combatant?”
Grandpa: “Non-combatants are civilians or regular people who do not participate in the war as soldiers for different reasons, like women and small children, old people, sick people, etc.”
Grandson: “I see. But if they didn’t fight in the war, how did they die because of it?”
Grandpa: “That’s what I’m about to tell you. Listen closely:
After setting the whole city of Atlanta, GA on fire in November of 1864, General William Tecumsah Sherman gathered his army of 60,000 soldiers outside of the burning city, getting ready to make total war on the non-combatant citizens (women, children, the elderly, and blacks of all ages) misfortunate enough to be in or near his army’s path during his infamous “March to the Sea” expedition. This path of total war or total destruction Sherman’s army cut through the state of Georgia was sixty miles wide and two hundred and eighty-five miles long. You’ve seen the terrible devastation that a mile-wide tornado leaves behind it; close your eyes for a moment and try to imagine, if you can, a tornado sixty times that wide and the devastation it would leave in its path, and you will get a pretty accurate picture in your mind’s eye of the devastation General Sherman’s army left behind it during its march from Atlanta to Savannah leading up to New Year’s Day, 1865.
Grandson: (look of trepidation on his face)
Grandpa: Pretty scary to think about, isn’t it. The word “infamous” means “wicked,” or “abominable”; it is a perfect word for describing the evil deeds Generals Sherman and Sheridan and other northern generals inflicted on Southerners towards the end of the so-called “Civil War.” General Sherman said himself it was his intention to leave behind him and his army, “that most reliable of all Generals – General Starvation.” Other northern generals said similar things. In other words, northern generals purposely left defenseless women and children, old and infirm people, to starve to death in their army’s wake. Think about that for a moment, and what it tells us about those fiendish men and their wickedness. And keep in mind too that they are still revered in the northern states today as “heroes” of the “Civil War.” What does it tell you about the people who revere them as “heroes” for those evil deeds?”
Grandson: “I think they must be bad people too.”
Grandpa: [*]“Me too. Sherman and other Yankee Generals carried out these wicked designs by burning Southern homes and structures containing food supplies, and by slaughtering living food sources like cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens and so on. General Sherman did his best to destroy every ounce of food supplies in his army’s path, as well as their only means of transportation – horses and carriages, and railroads – so that the citizens he left in his wake would succumb to the elements, to disease, and/or to starvation. This wasn’t only done in Georgia, though; it was done all over the South.”
Grandson: “How did Southern people eat after that?”
Grandpa: “Well, it so happened that there was one food source in the South that northern generals and their armies could not possibly destroy all of or even close to all of, try as they did and as much as they would have liked to.”
Grandson (excitedly): “Wait, I think I know!: was it black-eyed peas?”
Grandpa: “Yes, that’s right. Although our ancestors from those days usually called them by other names such as ‘cornfield peas’ or ‘cow peas.’”
Grandson: “Why did they call them that?”
Grandpa: “They called them cow peas because they fed them to their cattle and other animals; some Southerners called them cornfield peas because they planted them in cornfields to keep the soil energized in those fields. Sometimes they planted rows of black-eyed peas in between rows of corn. Anyway, the northern army couldn’t destroy all of the black-eyed peas in the South due to their great abundance. By “abundance,” I mean there were lots and lots of them in all parts of the South, dried and sacked, and stockpiled for feeding their farm animals.
You see, black-eyed peas were thought by many people back then, both in the North and in the South, to be “animal food,” not fit for humans to eat. Since the Old South was an agrarian society, it had an abundance of farm animals of every sort, which of course had to be fed and taken care of, and black-eyed peas or corn field peas were a main food source for their animals.”
Grandson: “What is an agrarian society?”
Grandpa: “An agrarian society is one consisting mostly of farmlands and farmers, and few large cities. And this is why the South had cornfield peas/cowpeas/black-eyed peas of various sorts in such abundance; that they had them in such abundance proved to be the saving grace of a many a hungry Southerner, including no doubt some of our own ancestors left to starve in the wake of General Sherman’s March to the Sea, and his march later through the Carolinas.
Grandson: “What are the Carolinas?”
Grandpa: “By ‘the Carolinas,’ I mean the two southern states called North Carolina and South Carolina. Have your dad show you later all of the places we’ve talked about on a map.
What I’m telling you, in other words, is that had it not been for black-eyed peas and their abundance in the Southland at that time, you and I might not even be here to bring in this New Year in remembrance of the crucial role “animal food” played in saving many of our suffering ancestors from what would have otherwise and most assuredly been death by starvation or disease, if not by exposure to the elements or just plain hopelessness.”
Grandson: “That sounds pretty bad, grandpa; it sounds like our people suffered a lot back then.”
Grandpa: “I know. Are you beginning to understand now why we eat black-eyed peas to bring in every New Year, and, as importantly if not more so, why we should do it not only cheerfully, but also with feelings of reverence and of thanksgiving?”
Grandson: “Yes, I understand now. It makes me sad they had to suffer like that, but I’m glad they had black-eyed peas to eat to help keep them alive! Thank you for explaining it to me, grandpa. When I grow up and have my own family, we’re going to eat black-eyed peas to bring in the New Year too. And I’m going to tell my kids everything you told me about why we do it, and why we should be glad and thankful to do it.”
Grandpa: “Very good; I’m very happy to hear it! And you’re welcome; I’m glad your dad sent you to talk with me about it. Oh, one more thing: remember what I said earlier about our ancestors cooking and eating dried peas from sacks?”
Grandson (thinking): “Yeah? … Wait!, that’s why momma and grandma always cook the dry ones and not the ones in cans on New Years, isn’t it, grandpa!”
Grandpa (big grin, a nod and a wink): “How’d you get to be so smart? Now, run along and ask your mom and grandma when the peas and hoecakes and soft fried potatoes will be ready; I don’t know about you, but all of this talk about black-eyed peas has my stomach a-growling, and we don’t want to bring in the New Year on an empty stomach.”
[*] On these highly cultivated plantations not a fence is left, except mutilated garden enclosures. The fields were as free from vegetation after a few days as the Arabian desert; the very roots seemed eradicated from the earth. … After the eight days were accomplished, the army moved off, leaving not a quadruped, except two pigs, which had ensconced themselves under the ruins of a servant’s house, and perhaps a dog to one plantation; to the other, by some miraculous oversight, two cows and a few pigs were left.
Not a wheeled vehicle of any kind was to be found; all the grain, flour, meat, and other supplies were swept off, except the few things hid in those wonderful places which could not be fathomed even by the “Grand Army.” These particulars … I have from our nephew, J. P., who is now a scout for General W. H. F. Lee. He called by to rest a few hours at his uncle’s house, and says he would scarcely have known the barren wilderness.

Women and children are made homeless at midnight, and not allowed to save anything, even their clothes. When houses are not burned, they are robbed of everything which a rapacious soldiery may desire. The last barrel of flour, the last ham, is taken from store-rooms; and this is done, not in Virginia only; nor are Hunter, Sheridan, Kilpatrick, or Stoneman the only men who do it; but every State in the Confederacy has felt the heel of the despot. North and South Carolina have suffered on their eastern borders most severely; the same of Georgia and Florida. Alabama has had much to bear. The Mississippi country in Louisiana, Arkansas, and the State of Mississippi, has been ravaged and desolated; Tennessee has perhaps had more to bear than any of them. But poor old Virginia has been furrowed and scarred until her original likeness is gone. From the Potomac to the Roanoke, from the seaboard to the Kentucky boundary, including the downtrodden Eastern Shore, she could scarcely be recognized by her sons. Marked by a hundred battle-fields, and checkered by fortifications, almost every spot is classic ground. –Judith White Brockenbrough McGuire, Diary of a Southern Refugee During the War, pgs. 207-211
The post Why We Eat Black-Eyed Peas appeared first on Identity Dixie.
At the basic core of any political philosophy is one simple question: how can the state get their citizens to obey? Although the state has a variety of means to do this, there are three basic mechanisms by which a state can impose order, and understanding these three instruments offers valuable insight as to how a polity will govern, especially understanding which mechanism a government primarily depends upon. These three techniques are as follows: 1) belief, 2) bribery, and 3) force. Notice the key word primarily here, as all governments, to one extent or another, do rely on force; after all, all laws are ultimately backed by the death penalty, but this is not always the primary way in which a state enforces its rule.
When a government administers its rule primarily through belief, the citizens obey because they believe in their government and conclude that it has their best interests at heart. This does not mean a blind acceptance regarding everything about a particular government, but there is a general trust that the foundation of the system is solid. If this cannot be achieved, then a government must rely on other methods, and this is where bribery becomes the primary method of control – certain groups of citizens are bribed to support the system. However, not even corruption is effective in maintaining governance, and this is when force becomes the primary course of action by which order is maintained. Again, primary is important. As stated before, all laws are backed by the death penalty, but if a government cannot make its citizens believe in it, and it cannot bribe its way out, it begins to rely on sheer terror and oppression. And, that fact offers ample opportunity for the Dissident Right to understand how globohomo rules and what its future will look like.
For the majority of its history, the United States has governed through belief – the vast majority of its citizens believed in the United States and its Constitution. There may have been disagreements over how to govern, but the foundation was largely uncontroversial. The system, minus a few bloody hiccups (the War of Northern Aggression, for example), was reconcilable and firm. But over the course of the past several decades, this belief has eroded. Americans, and especially Southerners, are increasingly disinterested or antagonistic toward “the shining city upon a hill,” as well as its Constitution. One way this can be observed is in the plummeting enrollment of Southerners in the American military. For generations, Southerners faithfully joined the U.S. military. It was an institution they dominated, and was seen, with the exception of the years between 1861-1876, as an institution with Dixie’s best interests in mind. Today, that has changed, and it has changed rapidly. Enlistments are down, to the point of a crisis, and much of this is due to Southerners refusing to join. They no longer believe in the virtue of the United States, including its once vaunted miliary, and correctly view that they have no future in something the openly hates them and their ancestors.
It has become a tired cliché to point out how old and frail American leadership is – look at Biden, Schumer, McConnell, and Trump, but what is discussed less is why this is the case. The reason is because the oldest Americans, what remains of the Silent Generation and the Boomers, are the last generations to truly believe in the American project. Generation X, and especially Millennials and Gen Z, have a far more skeptical view of the American Empire. Here, the United States has a great deal in common with the late period Soviet Union. When Gorbachev took power, he was considered as a man bringing youthful and fresh ideas to reform the USSR. But there was one problem – when Gorbachev took power, he was the same age as George W. Bush when he became president, and Dubya was never viewed as a particularly young and vibrant president. In the late period Soviet Union, those who were born after the October Revolution and its immediate aftermath had no good reason to believe in the continuation of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union could not govern via belief, and neither can the American Empire.
When it cannot govern by belief, as it has historically, the United States will be forced to govern through bribery and force, and this can already be observed. The current governing structure and philosophy of the United States – globohomo – has artificially created a privileged class consisting of non-Whites, college educated White women, and an assortment of sexual deviants to govern. They are endowed with cushy sinecures in exchange for supporting globohomo’s domestic and international ideology. Nevertheless, bribery can only go so far, especially as long as Whites, particularly White men, are still a large portion of the country and have little incentive or reason to support a system that blatantly hates them. While globohomo might be able to get non-Whites, childless White women, and degenerates to comply through bribery, it cannot do the same with conservative Whites, especially Southerners. This demographic correctly understands that globohomo wants them dead. In order to get them to obey, globohomo must rely on force – Southerners, under globohomo, live under a stark reality and are provided with a simple choice: support the regime’s ideology or lose everything. If you work for a large corporation, they will fire you. If you work for yourself, they will freeze your bank accounts or end your ability to process payments. Either way, globohomo has developed a cutting method to destroy the lives of those that oppose it.
There is good news, at least in the long run. Ultimately, governments that are forced to rely on selective corruption and brute force are inherently weak. Bribes have a diminishing return and, more importantly, because of the increased fanaticism of globohomo, more and more people will find themselves on the outside, as witnessed in the sheer number of opinions that would have been considered leftwing in 2016 and are now considered forbidden. As far as force goes, as soon as cracks form in the system, the government can very quickly lose control of the entire situation as more of the citizenry realizes they have nothing to lose. At some point, as the people turn against their government, order can no longer be maintained – increasingly violent crackdowns, rather than curbing unrest, just make matters worse. No government can arrest or kill all of its citizens. Machiavelli was wrong, it is better to be loved than feared. Governments that rely primarily on fear will eventually hit a brick wall; the law of diminishing returns will one day come into play.
The Dissident Right must understand globohomo as a house of cards. Its foundational belief structure is so absurd that few, apart from its committed ideologues, actually believe or even understand it. For example, this is an ideology that asks us to believe in concepts like “pregnant men.” This is why, unlike the historical United States, it finds itself progressively relying on bribery and coercion. Eventually, unnoticeable cracks become more apparent and the system buckles. At that point, Southern Nationalism is essential. When one system collapses, the best organized of the pro-collapse opposition almost always comes out on top. Southern Nationalists must be organized to take advantage of this coming collapse, it is through the wreckage of globohomo that a Free Dixie emerges.
The post The Empire’s House of Cards appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Once, a mother watching her child searching diligently for something and seeing that she was having no success in her search, asked the tot where she had lost the missing item. The child replied, “I lost it over there,” pointing to the other side of the room. Somewhat confused, the mother said, “But if you lost it over there, why are you looking for it over here?” In all innocence, the child said simply, “Because the light is better!” Frankly, people often look for things “where the light is better” even when there is no chance of success, simply because it is easier. The history of the War of Secession – erroneously referred to as the Civil War – is a perfect example of seeking answers where the light is better, rather than in the darkness to which the facts have often been intentionally consigned.
But it isn’t just a matter of simplicity or ease. We have seen that abandoning the politically correct version of history produces unpleasant consequences for the individual involved. True scholars wish to correct what is false and bring to the fore that which was previously little known or even unknown. But, alas, those who stray from approved Yankee history engender actual hatred and spiteful retaliation and anyone involved in the field who departs – however slightly – from the “orthodox” narrative – that is, the academic Establishment’s party line – risks being exiled from the heritage community. Those who make a living in that community – guides, authors, managers of institutions, and lecturers – have been warned that inappropriate comments and unacceptable opinions will leave them in exile without invitations to symposiums, events, tours, column space, and other “Civil War” activities. Worse still, it is only the brave soul who is willing to face the specter of the ever-present and oft-played “race card” liberally used when anyone voices an opinion even vaguely supportive of the South. The field of history, at least in this subject, is more akin to an extortion racket than an academic exercise.
Let me offer two seminal examples of revisionist history easily proven to be lies but that are embraced by folks looking for the “easy truth” – you know, where the light is better. First, is the question of who started the war, the answer to which is always South Carolina with her assault on Sumter and the Flag; and, second, the question of the cause of the war which, according to what everybody is supposed to think, was slavery and nothing but slavery. In the first case, whenever the devastation wreaked upon the Southern people is mentioned, the Establishment tells us that no sympathy is due to them because, of course, the South fired the first shot and, therefore, legally and morally, started the war that the blessed Lincoln wished at all costs to avoid. But that is neither the definition of the matter under the law nor historically accurate – facts which Jefferson Davis pointed out even before Sumter was fired upon. Legally, the party that causes the first shot to be fired starts any war that supposedly results from that shot! If Sumter was fired upon without provocation, then the charge is, if not altogether accurate, requires at least some consideration; that is, that the Confederate States of America started the war! But the facts reveal that despite President Buchanan’s agreement with South Carolina not to rearm, re-supply, or re-man the existing Federal fort in Charleston, that is, Fort Moultrie, not Fort Sumter, given the existing circumstances, Lincoln with the help of General Winfield Scott before his inauguration had plans underway that involved Fort Sumter even though Sumter was no longer a federal facility having been returned to South Carolina when the Federal Government had failed to maintain the fort according to the lease, something that is made obvious by the fact that Sumter was filled with civilian workers attempting to repair and refurbish it when Major Anderson and his men from Fort Moultrie invaded Sumter on Christmas Eve, 1860.
There is insufficient time to go into the several attempts to aid Sumter – one of which caused Buchanan great embarrassment – or the actions by Major Anderson in disarming Fort Moultrie and moving its men and munitions to Sumter – an action that violated the agreement and caused great anxiety in Charleston. Neither is there time to tell of the lies Lincoln fed to sympathetic Northern newspapers about the ill treatment and starvation suffered by the men at Moultrie/Sumter – untrue according to Major Anderson’ own journal. And, finally, there is no time to present the evidence of the newly inaugurated president’s refusal to meet with Confederate ambassadors sent to avoid any actions that might lead to war, or Secretary of State Seward’s calculated efforts to deceive those ambassadors into believing that Sumter would be peacefully surrendered when in fact, the opposite was intended. All of this information is readily available on the internet and in many newer books. There are also Northern records and documents showing that Lincoln had planned to make use of Sumter to overcome Northern hostility to the use of force to keep the Southern States in the Union and that he had maneuvered the Confederate leadership into firing on Sumter knowing that the act would inflame the passions of the North and allow him to go to war against States that sought only a peaceful departure from the old compact. Indeed, Lincoln admitted that he obtained his desired ends at Sumter in a letter to Gustavus Fox on May 1st, 1861, in which he stated:
“You and I both anticipated that the cause of the country would be advanced by making the attempt to provision Ft. Sumter, even if it should fail; and it is no small consolation now to feel that our anticipation is justified by the result.”
The result and the cause of the country that Lincoln wished to advance, was, of course, the war that the firing upon Sumter brought about. On July 3rd of that same year, Lincoln confided to Orville H. Browning, a close personal friend, about the plan to supply and reinforce Sumter and its true intentions:
“The plan succeeded. They attacked Sumter—it fell, and thus did more service than it otherwise could.”
There is no doubt that the event that (quote) started the war (unquote) was a well laid, devious and wicked plan conceived by Abraham Lincoln and carried out with the assistance of Chief General of the Armies Winfield Scott who chose to disobey the orders of his Commander-in-Chief, President Buchanan, and participate in an act that began a bloody, barbaric, illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional war – a war that destroyed the Republic and the Union, enslaved eleven states for as many years, and made traitors out of Lincoln, Scott and all who knowingly participated in its waging on the part of the Federal Government in its guise as the Union. For the only act in the Constitution given the name treason is that of waging war upon any of the signatory Sovereign States. Even the bombardment of Sumter, provoked or otherwise, could not be called treason. To begin with, Sumter belonged to South Carolina which had leased the land and its structures to the Federal Government. But, even more to the point, the Federal Government was not a Sovereign State as defined by the Constitution and, therefore, no treason obtained in the assault on its agents illegally occupying that facility.
As for the institution of slavery being (quote) thecauseofthewar (unquote): the issue of slavery is far more complex than the simplistic nonsense used today to make villains of those in the South and heroes of those in the North. However, in truth, while the institution was of no interest to the Yankees as anything other than a means of making money prior to the early 1800s, the black man – slave or free – was of paramount interest. The people of the North made it plain that they did not want black faces in their white States and as soon as an abundant supply of cheap labor became readily available with the influx of thousands of European immigrants, black slavery was ended, or at least redefined. For instance, New Jersey ended slavery by defining all black slaves as unpaid apprentices for life. Lincoln later declared that New Jersey’s slaves would probably be emancipated by 1914! In other Northern states, the majority of black slaves were not freed, but rather moved to Northern owned plantations in the West Indies or sold South, thus solving the problem and making a profit. Meanwhile, so-called black codes were enacted in almost all States and territories outside of the South which refused blacks – slave or free – the right to even enter much less settle in those States and territories – another little known or acknowledged fact.
Even with the rise of radical abolitionism, there was no concern for the welfare of blacks. Abolitionists made it clear when pressed that they had no love for the slave, but rather that their actions were dictated by hatred of the white master! Indeed, almost from the beginning of the nation’s history, the New Englander held Southerners in contempt for many reasons, not the least of which was their perceived personal familiarity with what was termed the African. New England newspapers after Jefferson’s election complained about our (quote) new black president and various black members of Congress from the South (unquote). Since those named were all white, it is obvious what Yankees thought of their Southern brethren. As well, contrary to what most believe, there was a serious abolition movement in the South which was silenced by the rise of Northern plans to encourage servile insurrection such as had happened in Haiti, and in what came to be known as Nat Turner’s revolt.
Parenthetically, it is interesting to note that Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was not designed to free America’s black slaves. First, of course, the presidential decree was limited to those states not under the control of the Federal Government. Slaves living in states either remaining in the Union or occupied by Federal troops remained in slavery until the adoption of the second 13th Amendment. So, if Lincoln did not (quote) free the slaves (unquote), what was the intent of the Proclamation? Simply this: Lincoln believed that slaves learning that they had been freed by the all-powerful central government would look upon themselves as no longer owing service or allegiance to their former masters and would rise up and attack their homes and persons. Furthermore, fearing just such a bloodbath, Confederate soldiers would desert the army in droves and return home to protect their families and property. This was the aim of the Proclamation – pure and simple. It had nothing to do with freeing anybody; it was a military measure designed to weaken the Confederate armed forces and, as such, it failed.
But there is a further obvious proof that slavery did not cause the war. Again, it is fairly well known but virtually unacknowledged that even as some Southern States seceded, an amendment to the Constitution was proposed and was in the process of ratification which would have placed slavery into the Constitution itself in such a way that the Amendment could not be later revoked by Congress. The Corwin Amendment – the first 13th Amendment – was a sop to the States of the South to keep them in the Union. Lincoln referred to it but declared that he had not seen it. However, he was certainly one of those acting behind the scenes and may well have actually drafted the thing. Remember, Lincoln didn’t want a war unless secession could not be prevented any other way. What he wanted was the revenues from the South obtained through tariffs and, especially, the newly passed Morrill Tariff. These revenues he then could distribute to Northern commercial interests under the so-called American System of corporate welfare. If he could keep the nation together by the continuation of slavery, Lincoln was more than happy to do so. Corwin proves that if slavery had been the reason for secession, this perpetual guarantee of the institution would have immediately caused all such efforts to cease. Indeed, many wealthy planters wished them to because their futures were assured under the Constitution. That the efforts continued, and spread, clearly indicates that the cause of secession and hence of the war, was not (quote) slavery and nothing but slavery (unquote). It is interesting to note that when this canard is offered by today’s scholars and historians, the Corwin Amendment – which totally disproves their point – is dismissed out of hand when it is mentioned at all. In fact, the Amendment cannot be acknowledged, and their viewpoint logically sustained, so it must be denied or explained away however intellectually dishonest they know that to be.
Equally important in any examination of the causes of secession is the matter of tariffs. Few indeed are the wars fought for reasons other than those economic in nature. For money is power and power is money; the two cannot be divorced. In May of 1860, the U.S. Congress passed the above-mentioned Morrill Tariff Bill – named for Republican Congressman and steel manufacturer, Justin S. Morrill of Vermont – raising the average tariff from about 15% to 37% with increases to 47% within three years. Although this was remarkably reminiscent of the Tariffs of Abomination which reached 50% in 1832 and had led to a constitutional crisis and threats of secession and armed force, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Bill 105 to 64. Out of 40 Southern Congressmen only one, who was from Tennessee, voted for it. The South already paid 87% of the tariff revenues which protected Northern industrial interests while raising the cost of living and commerce in the South and reducing the trade value of their agricultural exports. Obviously, such effects combined to place a severe economic hardship on many Southern States. But even more galling was that 80% or more of these tax revenues were expended on Northern public works and industrial subsidies – the so-called American System mentioned earlier – thus further enriching the North at the expense of the South.
Now, we must remember that Lincoln had been elected on the promise of raising tariffs and his support, including money, came from Northern and Mid-Western businessmen who needed those federal revenues. Indeed, many Northern newspapers that had originally supported the right of Southern States to secede, rethought their position when they realized what that loss of income would mean to their own economic interests. As for Lincoln, his policy of corporate welfare and payments to such private interests as the railroad insured not only his political future, but his financial prosperity once he left office. A lot of folks have wondered why General McClellan treated his Commander-in-Chief Lincoln with such contempt. Well, McClellan was a lawyer with the same railroad that employed Lincoln and old George knew that Lincoln got his nickname “Honest Abe” for the same reason that Robin Hood’s very large lieutenant got his sobriquet, “Little John!” Indeed, rather than being a testimony to Lincoln’s honesty, “Honest Abe” was a sarcastic reference to the fact that Lincoln was a shyster lawyer looking to feather his nest whenever the opportunity presented itself, something that he could not do – neither could he build the much desired “American Empire” – without the States of the South remaining in the Union even at the point of a bayonet.
Friends, we have seen that the two great myths of the War of Secession – who started it and why it was waged – are just that: myths. In fact, they aren’t even myths because myths ultimately have some foundation in truth while these fables are at best mistaken interpretations of the facts and at worst intentional lies designed to forward an agenda antithetical to justice, to history, and to the South. However, they serve as handy weapons in the campaign of cultural genocide being waged against Southern history, heritage, and heroes since the 1950s and we should recognize and be aware of that fact. Indeed, all honest people upon hearing them pronounced by Establishment scholars and historians or parroted by their disciples, should remember the words of the great English philosopher Edmund Burke: “Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.”

This essay stands as the second entry in my Great Statesmen of Dixie Series and will take us into the great Republic of Texas.
The Lone Star State’s reputation precedes it. A once notoriously conservative Southern Democrat state, Texas formed as a crossover between the Deep South, Appalachia, and the West. As such, it developed a multifaceted Jim Crow system to compensate for both its Negro and Hispanic populations. Ruled primarily by its eastern regions, Texas remained deeply Southern in politics and culture with a cowboy twist, a culture which still exists in the largely carpetbagger and immigrant infested land to this day. Arguably the state’s best and most preeminent governor of its history, Allan Shivers, laid the groundwork for resistance to the unconstitutional demands of the federal government to desegregate its public-school systems and facilities. This essay will cover the life and political career of Allan Shivers.
Robert Allan Shivers was born on October 5, 1907, in Lufkin. Of a poor background, his family originally hailed from Mississippi, his grandfather, Robert, having served in Company B, 16th Mississippi Infantry Regiment. Being reared primarily in Woodville and Port Arthur, Shivers’ political philosophy was heavily influenced by the indigence he spent his youth around during his time in Woodville, in addition to his financial difficulties he faced following his graduation from the University of Texas at Austin with a law degree. Further contributing factors to his conservative political development would have been his Baptist beliefs, as well as the exorbitantly wealthy family he married into through Marialice Shary, the latter of which led to his acquisition of the prosperous plantation named Sharyland.
Despite being of a conservative foundation, Shivers surprisingly won a seat to the Texas State Senate from a liberal, pro-union district in 1934, becoming the youngest state senator elected in Texas up to that point in its history. Through political tact and crafty language, Shivers managed to accrue votes from such an ideologically opposing area while still appearing as a moderate, not allowing his true beliefs to be widely known. For example, he publicly maintained neutrality regarding the New Deal but personally opposed it. Holding the seat until 1946, Shivers briefly stepped away from the state assembly when he commissioned into the U.S. Army in 1943 during World War II, being discharged with the rank of major in 1945.
Upon his return to Texas and resumption of his public service, the Texas Democratic Party was deeply fractured. The 1930s and 1940s saw the national Democrats undertake a more liberal agenda, going so far as to begin pushing Civil Rights legislation and discussion alongside the highly divisive New Deal economic policies. Texans fractured into the economically liberal union members, staunch party loyalists who endorsed a moderate approach to politics and preferred obeying the law above all else, various Hispanic and Negro organizations in south and east Texas respectively, the conservative pro-business section, and the rightwing segregationists and anti-communists. In 1944, a group of Democratic leaders formed a Texas Democrat faction called the Texas Regulars and sought to deprive the increasingly tyrannical President FDR the electoral votes from the state, the first instance of Southerners attempting to break away from the Democratic Party. Though the Regulars failed, the seeds of discontent had already been sown, and this is the condition of politics Major Allan Shivers returned to at the end of the war.
Not long after his return, Shivers ran for and won the lieutenant governor election in 1946 and won re-election in 1948. His time in the position established a precedent for the role. He worked diligently within the role to exert influence and greatly expanded many of the powers of the Lieutenant Governor of the state, stretching them as far as the Texas Constitution would allow. Throughout his term as Lieutenant Governor, his party remained fractured. This division grew emphatically during the tenure of President Harry Truman. Although Texas’ Governor Beauford Jester and Lieutenant Governor Shivers neglected to support the Strom Thurmond and Fielding Wright ticket for the States’ Rights Democratic Party during the 1948 presidential election, many powerful Texans did; and this even planted more seeds for the breakdown of the Texas Democrats, similar to the actions of the Texas Regulars.
Shivers ascended to the governorship in 1949 following the sudden death of Beauford Jester. While he had progressively showcased his conservative, rightwing beliefs as he climbed the political ladder, it was during this time he fully unveiled his true sentiments. It was from 1949 to 1950 that he sought to reconsolidate the Texas Democrats and seize the political machinery for himself. A party convention was held in 1950 to determine just who exactly would chair the powerful State Democratic Executive Committee (SDEC). Shivers, through crafty political maneuvering, ensured many conservatives, some of them former Regulars and Dixiecrats, controlled the committee. In order to rally some liberals to support him at the party convention, he claimed stalwart party loyalty. It was also during this same year that Shivers won election to his first full term as governor. The stage had been set, and his move to control the SDEC shocked many moderate and liberal party loyalists.
Thenceforth from 1950, Shivers stood as one of Dixie’s most powerful state leaders and ruled the state of Texas with superfluous popularity. Leading a conglomeration of conservatives, Texas Regulars, and Dixiecrats, Shivers’ faction became known as the Shivercrats and battled bitterly against the growing faction of liberals and Civil Rights advocates in his state. He was so dedicated to battling the growing leftism within the national party that he led Texans to vote for Republican candidate General Dwight Eisenhower against Democrat Adlai Stevenson II during the 1952 presidential election. This election led to the early move of Texas permanently towards the Republican Party. It was also during 1952 he engaged in a malicious gubernatorial campaign against liberal Houstonian challenger Ralph Yarborough. The run was so vicious, in fact, that the two openly loathed one another for the rest of their lives. Shivers expressed frequent frustration with the liberal takeover of the Democratic Party. At one point in a speech given to the SDEC, Shivers stated in a superb moment of speechcraft:
“Our First Political Loyalty is the Free and Independent Democratic Party of Texas as the unshackled guardian for more than a century of true Texas traditions of Democratic government and as the protector and promotor of the best interests of our commonwealth, its people, and its principles. We repudiate as alien to our heritage and foreign to our freedom those self-appointed and self-seeking serfs of a corrupt national political machine who under the self-styled label of ‘loyal’ presently seek to prostitute the power and pillage the opportunity of Our Texas Democratic Party to aid in recapturing and redeeming the National Democratic Party from left-wing domination and machine control. I scorn the suggestion that ‘loyalty’ demands an abject, contemptible, and unconditional surrender in advance to the whims or the dictates of any absentee overlords of the national party. The self-governing and self-respecting Democratic Party of Texas, which nurtured the still small light of the Party of Jefferson and Jackson for fifty years during which it was extinguished in darkness in the North and East, does not slink and cower, hat in hand, to anybody’s back door to make a blind trade of our heritage for a handout.”
Shivers finally left office and public life in 1956, opting not to run again even though he most likely would have won. His popularity was unwavering during his term, even so far as to be listed on both the Republican and Democratic ticket in the 1952 election.
His fight against the Civil Rights Revolution and communism garnered national attention and an unprecedented amount of success. While he did successfully balance the budget and bring order to a politically divided state, it is this sphere of his tenure which garnered him the most recognition, including his political actions in the 1952 presidential election. Alongside his alliance with other Deep South segregationists and his aforementioned appointing and raising of various Regulars and Dixiecrats to powerful positions, Shivers relentlessly and ceaselessly railed against communism which had deeply infiltrated the United States at that time, and which spearheaded the Civil Rights push. His ceaseless crusade against these forces came to a head following the unconstitutional Brown v Board of Education ruling. Though a staunch segregationist beforehand, his rhetoric only grew louder thenceforth. His most infamous act of opposing integration occurred in 1956. Texas having not yet integrated its schools, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Texas to desegregate Mansfield High School in the Jackson v Rawdon case. During an attempt to enroll some Negro students, Governor Shivers ordered the Texas Rangers, under the command of Captain Jay Banks, to prevent the integration attempt. It was successful and marked the very first time a state resisted the Brown v Board desegregation order. This event set a precedent and inspired the rest of Dixie to do the same. Mississippi certainly followed Texas’ lead here, and the Mansfield incident directly led to Orval Faubus’ actions during the integration of Little Rock High School. This single event is the most notorious and influential moment of Shivers’ career, alongside catalyzing the rise of the Republican Party of Texas.
Governor Allan Shivers led a fascinating and pivotal career. Setting out from humble beginnings, he won in a surprise election to the state senate, commissioned into the U.S. Army and served in World War II, returned home and rose to the lieutenant governorship, and finally ascended to the governorship, becoming the most powerful governor of Texas up until that point in its history and serving record setting four terms. Furthermore, Shivers’ actions set the standard for Southern resistance to the Civil Rights Movement. Though largely faded out of public knowledge because of modern historians purging Southern history, Allan Shivers stood as a truly superlative statesman and left in his wake a permanent impact for the behaviors and powers of future governors.
As a final testament to the governor’s character, it cannot go without mention that he continued the tradition of leaving a Holy Bible marked with a verse on the table of the governor’s office begun by previous Texas Governor Pat Neff in 1925. Shivers’ verse of choice for his successor, Price Daniel, was Philippians 4:6, “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.“

One of the definitive possibilities emerging for 2023 is World War 3. There’s really no scenario by which this turns out well for anyone involved. I’d actually prefer the nuclear option since it would be over really quick, while any conventional conflict would involve the crippling of critical infrastructure leading to most of us suffering a far more unpleasant demise over a protracted timeline. That’s how I learned to love the bomb.

It’s important to understand that the people in charge want certain things and won’t back down from trying to get these things, such as world domination and ownership of everything and everyone as promised by the Talmud. Russia and China are the critical obstructions to this project, so they have to go. Putin at this point is saying that Russia is locked in a struggle with “a global Satanic order,” whereas the Chinese position is more like “What in the hell is wrong with you people?!” But, they’ve both announced their resolve to fight this stuff to the death so that must be nice if you’re from one of those countries.
Here in America, they’ve created a system by which power is ostensibly held by the most worthless and contemptible pieces of human filth they can dredge up. For example, Lindsey Graham, a bloodthirsty homosexual who will do whatever it is they tell him. Surely his soul will burn in the fires of Hell, but right now he’s still in Congress doing his best to shepherd our country into destruction. He’s in good company with scumbags like Rep. Adam Kinzinger who breaks down sobbing from the assault on our democracy two years ago.
I’m hoping this is a joke. NATO vs Russia would be like a real three day operation. https://t.co/kf53SJhWE8

While not formally codified, this system weeds out anyone with a moral compass, the capacity for reason, and a willingness to speak the truth. Anybody like this has no chance in political office, the media, the military, or academia. In other words, this is a system deliberately designed to careen towards disaster, although those who’ve imposed it on us can’t grasp the obvious. It can’t even reconcile its goals, such as global domination while persecuting white males thus gutting the combat force of the U.S. military.
Everybody parsed through this system just goes along with the agenda no matter how insane it gets. In the blink of an eye, we go from gay marriage and Afghanistan to child trannies and a colossal war on the doorstep of Russia, which has promised to nuke us if things don’t go its way. Recognizing this inexorable logic, one appreciates future actions of this system that can’t be ruled out on the basis of reckless stupidity.

If the big one gets kicked off, it will probably be a false flag incident within Ukraine, or a conflict instigated in Kosovo. The local Serbs have erected fortifications in anticipation of an assault against them by the NATO-imposed government. NATO is demanding they be dismantled, presumably so its proxy can just go in there and kill them while Serbia impotently stands by. That’s similar to what they demanded from the Russians in Ukraine. The “chutzpah” is truly astonishing.
NATO has invested pretty much everything into breaking up the Russian Federation, from the economy of Europe to most of its stockpiled weapons and munitions. Even if Ukraine was capable of keeping up this fight, the military industrial capacity doesn’t exist to keep them supplied. This is not the kind of war that the United States or NATO is designed to fight. Those are always limited, one-sided affairs. Iraq wasn’t anything close to the scale of what’s going on right now.
This year, the U.S. alone has dumped around 100 billion into the catastrophe, while Russia’s entire defense budget is only around 65 billion and windfall energy profits, created by sanctions driving up prices, cover the cost of the whole operation. They’re fundamentally a land power geared to fight a massive ground war against peer forces in Eastern Europe. Ukrainians, from teenage boys to old men, are being forcibly conscripted and fed to Russian artillery to keep this going, not to win. This is an outrageously senseless slaughter. So why?

Well, it could be that they’re looking for a justification to escalate the situation in order to force the Russians into blinking and bringing their operation to a halt. The media will spin the narrative that Russia was defeated, and Ukraine has been saved while a NATO presence is maintained to revive hostilities at a later date, while they keep hoping in vain that the sanctions will finally implode Russia’s economy. That’s utterly idiotic and sure to end in calamity, but so has everything else since 9/11. It’s the exact same people in charge, so it’s quite possible this could be what gets attempted.

— AZ (@AZgeopolitics) December 25, 2022
The reason they refuse to negotiate with the Russians is that they don’t have something that scares the Russians to leverage against them yet. At the rate it’s going, Ukraine will collapse, and Russia will achieve all of its objectives. That’s why we get this cokehead clown Zelensky declaring that the only thing he’s willing to concede is that Putin won’t be executed without a trial once he’s handed over following Russia’s surrender.
One must recognize that these people who got us into this mess are evil, as in the literal children of the devil. Christ had plenty of things to point out, but that’s probably the most relevant to the current situation. That’s the only way to explain why anyone in the establishment would conclude that starting a war in Ukraine to destroy the Russian Federation was a feasible proposition or their track record of abject failure going back over 20 years. None of these objectives were formulated for rational reasons.
The good news is that unless you have a remote bunker complex, you’re pretty screwed so there’s no point in fretting too much about it.

He defamed and belied one of the truest, purest, noblest patriots that ever graced United States soil…
J. H. Savage to editor, Jones Valley Times
Although there is no entry mentioning he who is the subject of this essay on my Confederate Calendar for this month, the man is nevertheless an interesting and important figure in Confederate history in his own right; whose blessed memory, and whose lifelong and indefatigable service to the Southland, deserves to be recounted in our generations. I am speaking of the author of the line in my epigraph, Capt. James H. Savage, of Co. I (“Cherokee Rangers”), 19th Alabama Infantry Regiment.
My transcription of pg. 3 of A.J. Ketchum’s handwritten History of the 19th Alabama Infantry Regiment, ca. 1903When I speak of Capt. Savage’s “lifelong and indefatigable service to the Southland,” I’m of course referring to more than just his distinguished service and unmatched bravery as an officer in Co. I, 19th Alabama during the WBTS; I’m also referring, in part, to his (written) service to the same as an elderly man long after war’s end, unwilling to allow Yankee versions of the Confederate Cause and Conduct in the War Between the States (as told by the likes of Teddy Roosevelt et al) to go unanswered. What Capt. Savage was contending against as an elderly man in his mid-70s and to his dying day was, in the truest sense of the term and what is now commonly referred to as, Revisionist History. To wit:
Mr. Editor: […] In Mr. Glenn’s comment, he misstates the ground I assigned as a reason why Confederate organizations should not stoop so low as to boot-lick Roosevelt. I put it on the ground that Roosevelt had denounced Confederate Veterans and Jefferson Davis as traitors, in his history to go down to posterity and to our sons. I repeat that Confederate Veterans who are and were true to the cause are out of place when such a defamor as Roosevelt, who by accident gets to be president, to be toadying around after such a creature. Mr. Glenn, in his article, says “we do well to consider the man’s point of view.” There is no point of view that mitigates slander and defamation. Especially from one of superior intelligence writing history.
(Incidentally, I wrote a series of articles for my family group some years back titled “Revisionist-Revisionist History,” wherein I revealed that we modern “Revisionist Historians,” so called, are merely doing our duty to our honorable ancestors and their righteous cause in correcting the false history, libels and slanders perpetrated against those great and good men by godless, lying Yankees, who sow the seeds of discord among brethren, or otherwise take pleasure in those who do so. As my step-mother is apt to remind from time to time, “you’ll go to Hell for that, boy!”)
I picked Capt. Savage as the subject of this edition because (1), our hero departed this life on the 12th day of this month 110 years ago; and (2), several years prior to his death, Mr. Savage wrote a series of articles for the Jones Valley Times newspaper of Birmingham, Alabama; a several weeks-running series of articles in which he recounted the “History of the 19th Alabama Regiment,” which series began in October of 1905, running through November and into the early part of the current month in that year. If you have a subscription, or can otherwise connect to Newspapers.com through your local library, you can download and read Mr. Savage’s interesting and informative articles above-mentioned for yourself, beginning here. The third and final reason I chose to write something about Mr. Savage in this essay is that he served in the same Alabama regiment as did a number of my (direct and indirect) ancestors:
Extract from Muster Roll of the 19th Alabama Infantry RegimentWhat Mr. Savage alludes to by his curious turn of phrase – “toadying around after such a creature” as Roosevelt – is the obsequiousness of certain persons (certain Southerners) towards the then president upon his visit to Birmingham, in hopes of receiving favors from him of some kind or another, mainly in the form of political appointments or some other cushy make-work government job. The word “obsequious” has mostly gone out of vogue these days, but as Hamilton wrote in Federalist no. 1:
History will teach us that … of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants.
It seems that obsequiousness, toadying, or bootlicking as it were, can and does work both ways to the same deleterious and nation-destroying ends. Speaking of demagogues and their demagoguery, Mr. Savage closes his scathing letter by citing that aspect of the sorry scene as he’d watched it unfold to boot:
It is all a squirt of muddy water and the worst of hypocritical demagoguery. Good Lord, deliver us from such humility and give us a large crop of Governor Vardamans and Dr. Staggs.
In the spirit of Mr. Savage’s closing lines in his letter thrice quoted from above, I hope y’all will join me in asking the Good Lord to deliver our generations from such toadying, bootlicking and hypocritical demagoguery as Mr. Savage bore witness to in his day, and that we bear witness to in our own; and to give us in the South a bumper crop of James H. Savage’s. Nevertheless, not my will, but Thy will be done, O Lord. Amen.
God bless James H. Savage, God bless y’all, and God bless and keep the Southland!

A grown man ain’t got no time to feel sorry for himself. Around this season five years ago, I somehow managed to subconsciously pencil that into my schedule. Parent with a terminal illness among other family issues, woman problems (a woman can really hit ya good), etc. Our dissident media milieu had turned from naive fun and overnight success into watching my colleagues get ambushed in Charlottesville that summer. Let’s just call this a short list of unpleasantries.
So, essentially things were just all around not going well, and I was wallowing in how bad it felt instead of pursuing my life because the nature of this journey is that a lot of bad shit is going to happen along the way. That’s such a pathetic, pointless and highly counterproductive way to feel but maybe some guys need to feel it to figure that out.
It was a gray, drizzly winter morning and I’d been hanging out on a rural compound with some of the Identity Dixie crew. I’d usually take a back road from this location but that morning a couple of us decided to have breakfast at a diner which was near an interstate exit. Afterwards, I took that exit onto this interstate and got hit by a tractor trailer under two minutes later.
I was in the middle lane doing about 80 and it came up behind me going probably at least 90. It swung out into the far left lane to pass me and then merged back into the middle when its two back wheels were parallel to the driver’s side door of my car. To the right of me was a tanker truck of some kind. Luckily for me, this guy was paying attention and gunned it before I could get slammed into him.
It smelled like something was burning, which turned out to only be rubber grinding against the door. I didn’t realize that at the time and scrambled out the passenger side in a panic. The truck had pulled over a ways up and sped off as soon as I got out. Never got the plate. I smoked a cigarette while I waited for my car to explode and thought “par for the fuckin’ course.” I was completely fine, not even a scratch.
In hindsight, I was too mired in my own malaise to appreciate how incredibly lucky I was. It actually only occurred to me just now when I saw the same model of car (mine was totaled) in a video. “Hey, it could be worse” doesn’t sound like a very motivational statement but it really is something of which everyone should be aware. A free and healthy man has all sorts of opportunities of which he can avail himself. So many great experiences haven’t been foreclosed on if these two conditions apply to you.
I’ve had plenty of paranoid but pretty good living since that interstate incident. For instance, COVID created all sorts of work problems but that summer I found myself a place on a beach to be paranoid full time because I couldn’t go where I needed to go. A lot of people lost their jobs and businesses they’d invested their lives in because of this Satanic dystopia. But, I was on a Mediterranean beach. The worst unpleasantry inflicted on me was getting thrown in a gulag and lots of lost revenue but not enough to put me in the red.
I really don’t have anything to complain about in this regard and many others, so I try not to let my genuine greivances bog me down. Moreover, when whatever kills me comes, I won’t have the Mark of the Beast on myself. That’s peace of mind no 401(k) could ever provide. As 2023 approaches, I’m focused on all the possibilities and grateful for the good fortune I’ve had in stumbling through life thus far.
Cheer up, things could be a lot worse and potentially much better.

All scriptural quotes are derived from the New King James Version of the Bible
Before you begin reading anything else, please note the following, internalize it, and spread the Word: Jesus Christ cannot be defeated, because He has already won. So, with that said, can Christianity be defeated? No. Christianity will remain eternal because those who put their trust and full faith in the Salvation of Jesus Christ will forever remain with God eternally. The gift we receive through Christ’s sacrifice is eternal life. Christianity – i.e., the fundamental belief in Jesus Christ as Messiah – is consequently incapable of defeat.
To be sure, we know that the community of professed Christians will shrink through tribulations that will test the boundaries of our commitment. Like Peter shortly after the arrest of Jesus Christ, many will deny knowing Him at a time of momentary human failure. Many will not. The latter group are called “martyrs.” Their blood runs throughout the world today, as various groups target their extinction for taking the unapologetic position that our Triune God so loved the world that He manifested in the flesh, as the Son, suffered, died, was buried, and resurrected – emerging as our eternal King. The blood of Jesus washed away the sins of those who call out His name and confide their need for redemption through Him. Rest assured; Jesus will have his just vengeance on those wolves who kill his sheep. But what of those wolves who lurk amongst the sheep, cloaked in sheepskins, encouraging the flock to run into the mouths of other wolves? It is time to explore the cleverest sheepskin of all – the arbitrary application of Paul within Christian churches.
It is my belief that the selective use of Paul, or in some cases, the complete elimination of Paul’s epistles, leads to a church’s eventual collapse. They may gain seats and donations temporary, but the congregation will eventually find itself spiritually void and, ultimately, it will either lose its congregants to other churches or Christianity itself. Why? Whereas the first four books of the New Testament – the Gospels – are critical to understanding Jesus Christ Himself, the epistles of Paul add the framework within which worship and the faith are empowered to fully be realized and blossom. In essence, the Gospels are the plant, the epistles are the pot – in which Paul’s epistles are arguably the most profound because of their direct correlation to the management of church affairs and Christian community. Ignore those Godly messages delivered through Paul’s pen at the peril of the church itself. Doing so is an attempt at destroying Christianity.
There are clear messages of God to His people manifested in the Word that are unmistakable when you truly open your heart to Christ. The Gospels are a record of the ministry of Jesus Christ on earth. The fifth book – Acts – is in many ways an extension of the Gospel of Luke, providing the Christian an understanding of the ministry of Jesus Christ during the immediate aftermath of the Resurrection. Acts provides an understanding of Jesus’ continued ministry on earth, through the Apostles, including the introduction of Paul. I do not believe there is any dispute as to my understanding of those first five books of the New Testament. What comes next, however, is where churches afflicted by modernity begin to question.
Paul wrote thirteen letters to the various churches throughout the Greco-Roman world. Whereas other epistles were written by James, Peter, John, and Jude, Paul’s are unique in that they provide instructions and guidance to various churches undergoing practical challenges at a very early and potentially fragile time for Christianity. In effect, Peter is encouraging the church to remain faithful and hopeful; Paul does that too, but he also focuses on very specific challenges among the newly formed congregations.
The challenges Paul addressed ranged a gamut of issues that modern churches undoubtedly face today. From the acceptance of homosexuality to adultery to “gender equality” – Paul’s world was full of dangerous traps for the new Christians to whom he ministered. As such, probably more than at any other time in the history of the Christian faith, Paul’s teachings are more important today than ever before. They are instructions to pastors, ministers, and ordinary Christians regarding that which they may face within their own churches.
The pagan Greco-Roman world was inundated with degenerate and sinful behaviors. The new churches in places like Corinth or Thessalonica were surrounded by activities that may not have been as bad as Sodom and Gomorrah but were pretty close. Worse, many of the pagan rituals of the era involved sexual depravity that ran directly contrary to the teachings of Christianity. New adherents to the faith were confused. They had come from religious environments that either indulged the desires of the flesh or, if they were Hebrews, found themselves hogtied by Mosaic law. In essence, Paul’s ministry required a careful balancing act. It was one that recognized the sanctity of God’s Word and a recognition as to that which is sin (Hebrews living amongst pagans) and teaching others not only the definition of sin itself, but the deleterious impact of sin on the church.
Whereas we see in the Book of Acts that Paul’s ministry is relegated to the Gentiles, he is dealing with churches that were undoubtedly blended communities converging beliefs from various sectors of the Roman Empire – Hebrew and Gentile. The very beginning of his letter to the Corinthians, 1 Corinthians 1:10, explicitly addresses this issue: “Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” Modern pastors recognize when divisions can potentially destroy a church from within. This was likely made worse by contests amongst Jews and those new to the Word.
Paul’s epistles share a theme that continues to instruct and attempt to address real issues among the inexperienced Christians. 1 Corinthians 8 warns of idols – a likely issue among the new pagan converts, but not necessarily one by which the Hebrews would have been immune as evidenced in the various admonishments we witness in the Books of Kings and Chronicles. Whereas food derived from idol offerings is a highly unlikely challenge for modern Christians, it is yet an example of the issues I laid out relative to the newly converged community of believers. In modern times, one can see the potential for the corruption of the congregation by means of financial support to a church from a source that is antithetical to God. A mobster or drug dealer, for instance, worshiping money and using his financial resources to support a church could be viewed as eating from an unclean source.
However, less abstract and more concrete positions exist within the various writings of Paul that I believe, when dismissed or selectively applied, causes greater consequences than the receipt of inappropriate gains. When churches choose to accept one position of Paul’s – for example, his admonishment of lust in First Thessalonians – and yet ignore another position – such as divisive gossip warned in Galatians 5 – this creates an unclear message to the congregation. It essentially empowers the congregation to pick and choose behaviors based on their personal proclivities, not Biblical truths. One issue that stands out more profoundly as an issue of modern churches, however, is sexuality and gender relations.
Several passages of epistles directly address male-female relations. Let me make it abundantly clear: men and women are NOT equal. God did not make us equal, at all. We have very different functions within the God gifted spousal relationship. We each bring important functions to the family dynamic. God made us different so as to ensure that we are complementary of one another in a union prescribed by God. The notion of “women’s equality” is by definition a Satanic canard.
First, Christians know that God has distinct abilities for males and females, undermining the notion of equality. I am a man; I cannot carry a baby to term and deliver that baby as God intended the baby to be carried and delivered. I cannot feed that baby from my breast. As a father, that does not make me less in the parental relationship. God’s Fifth Commandment is to “Honor thy Father and thy Mother” (Exodus 20:12). God does not say, “honor thy mother; ignore the man.” God purposely sees us as intertwined and thus, blessed partners.
Second, Christians know that simply because male dominion over the family – Male Head of Household – is both prescribed by God Himself, Genesis 3:16, and reminded by Paul in several passages, we are not to abuse that dynamic. This is explicitly stated in Ephesians 5:25: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.” It does not get much clearer than that. Men are to love their wives, protect them, provide for them, care for the woman in their charge… and vice versa. Women are to engage in a reciprocal relationship with their husbands. I do not need to see my wife as an “equal” simply to love her. As a Christian, the Holy Spirit working within me drives me to be the good husband to her as Christ is the eternally good husband to the church.
In 1 Timothy 2:11-12, we read that which Paul reminds the church as it pertains to this male-female dynamic: “Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.” This is reiterated in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35: “Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.” Breaking down these passages, one might assume that Paul was telling women to “sit down and shut up.” Not at all.
We know that Paul wants women to minister, at a minimum, to one another and to children, as we read in Titus 2:3-5: “The older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things – that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.” So, what is Paul saying to women? Paul is saying that women have a natural role in the development of Godly churches through cultivating the virtues of fellow Christian women – especially younger ones – while remaining the example of virtuous Christian women who submit to their husbands as God commands.
If we extrapolate this out more thoroughly, we see that women are never to lead or be senior pastors. By pastor, I mean the titular head of a given congregation. Pastor derives from the Latin verb “pascere” – lead to pasture – or more succinctly, to be a shepherd. There can be many shepherds tending to a flock, especially a large flock, but there will always be one senior shepherd or head pastor. Thus, it is okay to have multiple “pastors” as a title for the leaders of various ministries, but the senior pastor at the head of the church must by a male for important reasons. This can never be a woman, nor for that matter, can it be a co-shared role of equal male-female partners. There must be one male pastor at the top of the church.
When we read 1 Timothy 3:1-6, Paul begins: “This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, [c]not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);” Paul does not mince words. Bishops – used in the sense that we may coin “pastors” – are to be husbands. Deacons – again, a term used effectively for assistant pastors – are also to be husbands (1 Timothy 3:12). If women are not to have authority over the men in the church (1 Timothy 2:12), and pastors are to be husbands, then naturally women cannot be pastors. A church that employs female senior pastors (the leader of a church) is, by definition, in contravention with the Word of God by virtue of the instructions of Paul. But why is this a problem?
Contrary to modern theologians who transpose popular 21st century concepts upon Biblical truths, Christianity is inherently patriarchal. God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all inherently male. Adam was created in God’s image – a male. God manifested Himself as a male – Jesus Christ. The Bible refers to God as the Lord – a male title. Jesus refers to Himself as the bridegroom (Matthew 9:15; Mark 2:19; Luke 5:34). Thus, Paul is not merely recommending male heads of the church to satiate some inherently anachronistic need for male leadership during a time in which women were second class citizens. In fact, women priestesses were commonplace in the Greco-Roman world. Many other “churches” were led by women. Replacing “husband” with lesbian “wife” does not fit the actual description of the Word of God as conveyed through the writings of Paul. Rather, Paul is making a distinction for Christianity – a male-led faith.
More importantly, the symbolism is critical. Just as God leads the world… just as Christ is the King… so, too, must good men of moral virtue be seen leading the physical church. Those men, married to one wife, symbolize Jesus the Bridegroom married to one people – Christians. This is an eternal representation of God’s holy church. Any church that betrays that critical messaging and symbolism effectively places the Word into question.
If you can pick and choose that which you like from Paul, what else is up for grabs? Quite a bit. The more we treat the letters of Paul as an à la carte buffet versus a full meal, the more we invite other messaging to erode the faith and the faithful. This has critical downstream consequences.
For example, the church that accepts homosexuality, homosexual couples, or performs homosexual marriages is one that invites the enemy within the congregation through the normalization of sin. This is more than the oft misquoted mantra “hate the sin, not the sinner.” We are all sinners and sin will continue to resonate amongst us. Christians, however, do not celebrate the sin. The Holy Spirit within them compels remorse. If we sin – which surely we will do – Christ has paid for that sin. But Jesus’ sacrifice is not a trifle gift. It is not a “Get Out of Jail Free” card from Monopoly. When we offend God, we are sorry we did so. We know we will do so again, but we do not simply shrug our shoulders. Because Christians love God, they seek to do better the next time they are tested by the enemy – much like a child will do his best not to offend or disappoint his father.
Accepting sinful sexual immorality is different from inviting the sinner to enter the congregation, repent, and change his or her ways. I would gladly invite the bank robber to join the congregation as a means to introduce him to Jesus Christ. I would not tell him that bank robbery is okay. I certainly would not place a “bank robbery” flag outside of my church, lending tacit approval of bank robbery. By no means would I place a bank robber at the head of the church if that bank robber continued to rob banks. Why, therefore, would any church do the same for someone who continues to engage in other sinful behaviors while doing nothing to stop from doing so?
It is easier to take a callous position, however, when churches dismiss the teachings of Paul – in whole or in part. Female lead pastors or co-pastors (i.e., husband and wife teams at the very top of the church) send a clear message: maybe Paul is not right. The acceptance or endorsement of LGBT activities sends a clear message: maybe Paul’s messages are not as important. The devaluation of Paul ultimately leads to a final negative conclusion: if the epistles of Paul are considered a part of the total Word of God – and more importantly, the New Covenant Word of God – and churches are free to ignore his instructions to the faithful, does that not mean other parts of the Word of God are wrong or can be ignored, as well?
If I can ignore Paul’s instructions to the women of a congregation, can I not also ignore the warnings of John relative to The Revelation? If I can ignore Paul’s instructions as it pertains to the characteristics of a bishop, can I also assume that John 3:18 might be wrong, too? Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. If Paul is sometimes wrong, is it possible that another Apostle, John, misinterpreted the only means to attain eternal life? The unraveling of Paul is like a thread that pulls apart the seams of an entire dress.
When a few things are undermined, the entire work is undermined. You either have the truth – in whole – or none at all. “Half-truth” is merely a nice way of calling something a “lie.” What is the origin of lies? Jesus tells us in John 8:44 that Satan is the origin. Addressing the Pharisees, Christ says: “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” Consequently, if you open the Bible up to manipulation by undermining the truthfulness of the very Word itself, you are inviting Satan to replace Christ as the head of the congregation – regardless as to the heartfelt intentions of the ministry. Sometimes your sheep need to get dragged back, whether they like it or not. Sheep allowed to walk off on their own eventually die.
For those who question my logic, please take the time to look at churches and denominations who either selectively or entirely dismiss Paul. You will see they are all in some form of decline. The Presbyterian USA Church, which introduced female and/or homosexual pastors, is in decline. The United Methodist Church did the same thing and reaped the same results. Anglican and Episcopalian churches – like their Presbyterian and Methodist counterparts – employed the same dismissal of Paul with the same results.
Even the Roman Catholic Church, buoyed by mass Catholic immigration into the United States and larger families among the adherents is in decline. Roman Catholics continue to ignore the requirement of marriage for church leadership that Paul sets out. Correspondingly, the Orthodox Catholic faith, in which priests get married, is enjoying an expansion. Globally, Christianity remains the largest growing faith despite attacks by the faithless and the decline of traditional Protestant and Catholic denominations. This growth is led by Orthodox faiths in Eastern Europe and spirit-led, Godly pastors who use Paul’s teachings as a basis for church teachings.
In sum, if you – the Christian – discard the writings of Paul, you open up the Word to be abandoned at will. The truth of Jesus Christ is that He is the sole source of our Eternal Salvation. He requires nothing from us, beyond an open heart willing to fully absorb the grace He provides to us freely. In turn, Christians are asked to walk the path of righteousness – not as a condition of salvation, but a manifestation of our changed persona. Paul teaches Christians what that changed persona means. Undermining those teachings destabilizes the Christian and in so doing, opens them up to Satanic intrusion. If you wish to truly take your commitment to developing a Christian flock more seriously, take Paul seriously, as well.

God forgives our sins, our mistakes, our miscalculations, but forgiveness does not remove the physical or emotional consequences of the deeds of those that err, or those that are collaterally damaged by the rebellion of others. Thankfully, it was Christmas, and heavenly visitation interrupts the normal discourse of men this time of year, with celestial providence outside of our prediction or control.
A large cedar chest sat long unopened at the end of Gideon’s bed, a constant reminder of his failures. Hidden inside, a treasury of tokens that had both paralyzed him, and made him strive to be better than the man of his past. Mementos, one of which caused him to walk away from his calling, to discard the black robes he had once worn, and others reminding him of men that where much stronger and better. But one cannot hide from holy vocation forever, for it is a divine call never to be abandoned, only relinquished in disqualification. Mercifully, and by God’s infinite goodness toward the penitent, it was not always forever.
Gideon was not disqualified, his sins long ago repented, forgiven, and his restitution towards the affected paid fully and in exponential proportion. Deep within his soul he knew that if he were to ask others to engage the enemies of his people, if he were to ask them to risk everything in furious angelic exhortations from the pulpits they had been entrusted, then he would have to open that cedar chest, knowing it would unleash all the emotions that had paralyzed him for the past fifteen years.
Christmas approached, and his time of reckoning would be outside his control. The call came from his pastor who needed a minister to fill in for him on the Lord’s Day, which just happened to be Christmas Day. The young pastor’s wife was close to delivering their first child, and Gideon was the only ordained minister that could answer the call on such a short notice. He agreed reluctantly, as he fixated on the cedar chest.
Gideon put down his phone and moved to the chest to face his ghost. There were two compartments that separated the contents, on one side lay two flags, folded, and placed respectfully. The first had draped the coffin of his father, a slow casualty of a foreign war. The second, a Confederate Battle Flag that had flown above the holy and sanctified ground in remembrance of gallant men who had given their full measure of devotion in defense of their homeland. It had been removed in order to appease the godless mob, removed by the weak and cowardly. Both of these flags were catalysts leading to his disillusionment with the American Empire, and all those that supported its continuation.
On the other side of the chest was the item he the feared most. Just as Ebenezer Scrooge had feared all the spirits that haunted him that Christmas Eve, this item haunted Gideon like no other. A small blue box, covered in silk, rested on top of the black robe he once wore, a reminder of misjudgment, selfishness, unfaithfulness, of the anguish and sorrow he had caused his family – a deep loss and unmistakable judgment from a loving but righteous Heavenly Father. In the box were the ashes of Gideon’s twin sons, anticipated joys taken at birth, and from his helpless arms. No amount of kind words by ministers or faithful friends could undo this sorrow, nor reconcile the contradiction of Gideon’s calling and his actions leading to this horror. But it was Christmas, and it was time accept that which Christ had come to offer.
The Christmas service that morning was beautiful, the old chapel had been dressed in evergreen garland and magnolia wreaths by Gideon’s family, a tradition they had embraced for nearly ten years. The liturgy and the hymns moved the congregation in worshipful adoration toward their Lord. This was Gideon’s first homily in almost fifteen years, and those that had remembered him as their pastor and the circumstances of his retreat from public ministry anticipated his return. Dressed in the black robe he had abandoned, Gideon arose and stood behind the lectern.
“Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth, peace, good will toward men. Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people, for unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord,” these were the first words Gideon spoke, and for the first time in a very long time, he believed they were for him. His soul emptied into the congregation, his words were filled with hope and forgiveness, and the Spirit of Christ moved upon the congregation so powerfully that at the end of his homily, there were no dry eyes in that old chapel, for they were consumed with gratitude for the work of grace that God had done among His people this special day.
The last hymn of this blessed Christmas was “What Child Is This?” and the congregation needed no instruments to assist them in singing before their Lord. As they sang, Gideon made his way toward the entrance of the chapel, to shake hands with the congregants as they left, as any good Southern pastor would do. And as he did, the first one to meet him, even before the hymn ended, was an old man clothed in a long grey coat, with a long white bread, and a look of familiarity in his eyes, although Gideon could not place him as a regular attender. The old man held Gideon’s hand and softly spoke, “Well done, son.” Then with a sparkle in his blues eyes he announced, “She had twins.” In a twinkling, the old man was gone, and Gideon’s heart was once again full, knowing that with new birth there always comes hope.
Merry Christmas!
The post Gideon’s Fire, It was Christmas appeared first on Identity Dixie.
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the camp,
Billie Yanks were a-stirring, by bonfire and lamp.
Bummers’ booty and plunder all hidden with secretive care,
In fear that General Sherman soon would be there.
T’ward the plight of Southern children left a-weeping in hunger and fear,
Not a foreign wretch among them so much as shed a tear.
Rebel mothers left ravaged, bodies beaten, an host defiled,
Their homes reduced to mere cinders, they to shift for shelter in the wild.
As I pondered the ghastly scene righteous anger filled my being,
I could hardly believe my ears, what they were hearing, mine eyes a-seeing.
When out from the darkness what wonder but suddenly appeared! –
A figure to behold, a Devil to be feared!
His beast was an mighty one – stern, magnificent steed,
Rider sat erect, face deranged with eyes deep-set of greed,
I knew in an instant this could only be General Sherman,
a demigod sat his mount afore the gaggle of foreign & Yankee vermin.
He lashed with the tongue as to crack with the whip,
He swore on God’s name, “In the bud shall I nip!”
His anger thence kindled, the great general thundered s’more:
“A trial of courts martial is reserved you in store.
“Let every man among you, and drummer boy too,
Take heed the awful fate – to each man his rightful due.
“Of the harvest you’ve deprived me, my spies have well told,
of fine linens, of silvers, of jewels, and trinkets-a-many of pure gold.”
When with an angry jerk of rein the mighty steed did suddenly rare,
I looked again to see if General Sherman might still be there.
As he rode into the blackness from whence his form at first appeared,
I heard him remind the wretches of a fate what most to be feared.
But then what to mine ears moments later should I hear? –
the deranged voice of the distant General singing a tune with demonic laughter, joy and cheer:
“Three-fifths to my coffers by dawn’s early light,
lest noonday on the morrow hang ye all at this site. Hang ye all at this site.”
And with that I heard the sinister voice echo yet one final line of spite,
“My due by sun up, or this fine Christmas Eve be to all your last night.
Be to all your last night.”
Extracted from the Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 12, pg. 113:
The following letter was found in the streets of Columbia after the army of General Sherman had left. The original is still preserved, and can be shown and substantiated, if anybody desires. We are indebted to a distinguished lady of this city for a copy, sent with a request for publication. We can add nothing in the way of comment on such a document. It speaks for itself. The letter, which is a republication from the Alderson West Virginia Statesman, of October 29, 1883, is as follows:
Camp near Camden, S. C., February 26, 1865.
My Dear Wife:
I have no time for particulars. We have had a glorious time in this State. Unrestricted license to burn and plunder was the order of the day. The chivalry have been stripped of most of their valuables. Gold watches, silver pitchers, cups, spoons, forks, &c., &c., are as common in camp as blackberries.
The terms of plunder are as follows: The valuables procured are estimated by companies. Each company is required to exhibit the result of its operations at any given place. One-fifth and first choice falls to the commander-in-chief and staff, one-fifth to corps commander and staff, one-fifth to field officers, two-fifths to the company. Officers are not allowed to join in these expeditions, unless disguised as privates. One of our corps commanders borrowed a rough suit of clothes from one of my men, and was successful in his place. He got a large quantity of silver (among other things an old milk pitcher), and a very fine gold watch from a Mr. DeSaussure, of this place (Columbia).
DeSaussure is one of the F. F. V.’s of South Carolina, and was made to fork out liberally. Officers over the rank of captain are not made to put their plunder in the estimate for general distribution. This is very unfair, and for that reason, in order to protect themselves, the subordinate officers and privates keep everything back that they can carry about their persons, such as rings, earrings, breastpins, &c., &c., of which, if I live to get home, I have a quart. I am not joking. I have at least a quart of jewelry for you and all the girls, and some No. 1 diamond pins and rings among them.
General Sherman has gold and silver enough to start a bank. His share in gold watches and chains alone at Columbia was two hundred and seventy-five. But I said I could not go into particulars. All the general officers, and many besides, have valuables of every description, down to ladies’ pocket handkerchiefs. I have my share of them, too.
We took gold and silver enough from the d—d rebels to have redeemed their infernal currency twice over. I wish all the jewelry this army has could be carried to the Old Bay State. It would deck her out in glorious style; but, alas! it will be scattered all over the North and Middle States.
The damned n*ggers, as a general thing, preferred to stay at home, particularly after they found out that we wanted only the able-bodied men, and to tell the truth, the youngest and best looking women. Sometimes we took them off by way of repaying influential secessionists. But a part of these we soon managed to lose, sometimes in crossing rivers, sometimes in other ways. I shall write you again from Wilmington, Goldsboro, or some other place in North Carolina. The order to march has arrived, and I must close hurriedly. Love to grandmother and Aunt Charlotte. Take care of yourself and the children. Don’t show this letter out of the family. Your affectionate husband,
Thomas J. Myers, Lieutenant, &c.
P. S.—I will send this by the first flag of truce, to be mailed, unless I have an opportunity of sending it to Hilton Head. Tell Lottie I am saving a pearl bracelet and earrings for her. But Lambert got the necklace and breast-pin of the same set. I am trying to trade him out of them. These were taken from the Misses Jamison, daughters of the President of the South Carolina Secession Convention. We found these on our trip through Georgia. “T. J. M.”

A grizzled redneck once pointed out to me that no good would come out of attending a company Christmas party. I think that’s pretty sound advice unless it’s a cake-in-the-conference room type thing. Getting drunk around your coworkers and telling them what you really think or perhaps making a pass at a female (somehow, they always become more attractive when you do that) you’ll need to work with the next day isn’t going to play out well.
He also explained to me that he drank liquor at this time of the year and would become “real mean” as a result. I politely inquired why, with foreknowledge of this outcome, wouldn’t he just stick to beer? Not that this would do the trick, but it seemed like a fair question. These are the happy holidays, after all. His countenance darkened and he declared that I think I’m “so fucking smart.”
He then became incandescent with anger and threatened to slit me “from dick to throat” to which I threatened him with a lawsuit. I asked him if he’d ever been deposed in a lawsuit before because it’s not a fun process. Animated by sheer rage, he promised that after my gruesome murder, the authorities would never be able to apprehend him “out in these woods.”
This wasn’t exactly the only time this sort of thing happened, so I’m not sure if he was ever really serious. Although, on one occasion he did actually show me the chainsaw with which I could potentially be dismembered. He eventually stormed off into the night. I speculated that he’d simply retired for the evening but someone else pointed out that “he could be waiting underneath the porch with a shotgun right now to kill us all.”
When he passed away, a large cache of weapons, from medieval to modern, was discovered. You never really know with these things, so I choose to cherish his memory. I wouldn’t purport to be maturing but I’m certainly aging. The more that goes on, the better I appreciate the fact that you need to appreciate what you’ve got because besides your immortal soul, you probably won’t have it for very long. I’m not saying you should start reading from the Book of Revelation in your bunker, but it does help you appreciate your life.
I don’t want to get too morbid with this stuff, but I think about all the people freezing in Ukraine who’ve lost family members and are facing becoming refugees from a permanently collapsed nation. Did they know what was around the corner last Christmas? The same people who’ve inflicted these horrors on them have a stranglehold on America. I try to be optimistic, but I must admit we’re probably in store for some rather unpleasant times.
The good news is that because America hasn’t collapsed yet, there’s still an ample supply of booze. For Christmas parties, I like to make a batch of mulled wine. Usually what I’ll do is empty a couple bottles of Merlot into a pot and slowly heat it up. Ground spice packets are available, but I prefer to add everything whole, including dried fruits. A technique I learned from the Poles is to also dump vodka into the mix, which works quite nicely. Your guests will be slurring their speech and slugging each other in no time at all. Those people have lots of experience with these sorts of things.
I just had a member of my extended family, who was rather young, die suddenly. All of them took these injections except for me, the racist rightwing lunatic conspiracy theorist who’s now started adding all sorts of biblical quotations to his rants. The only thing I haven’t done to qualify me as a nutjob in their eyes is start my own militia. I honestly attempt to keep my mouth shut about these things in their presence beyond stuff about the Mark of the Beast and declaring I’d rather be shot in the head than injected. Most of them are very good people, and I truly hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else, but I harbor very troubling doubts.
I’ve accepted the fact that they’ll live and die with whatever it is they believe because that’s the way they were designed. Meanwhile, I’ve got the capacity to discern right from wrong on such matters, so in order to stay right with God I need to act accordingly. That’s what truly matters in the long run. With all this deliberately dechristianized music and consumer culture, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that this is the point of the holiday. I try to keep that in mind as I value who and what I’ve been given. That’s enough rambling for today. Merry Christmas!

Some ten years ago, I received a rebuke from a gentleman I had gotten to know “electronically.” We had exchanged e-mails and other information over a period of time and had, I believed, a rather amicable relationship though he was of the “Yankee persuasion” while I was not. He is a published author on many Civil War topics, and we communicated mostly on my own “interest,” Col. John Singleton Mosby. Obviously, his opinion of the man was somewhat different than my own, but we both held that the other was entitled to his/her own opinion though we did often debate charges made against Mosby’s actions during the War.
Then one day, I received the above-mentioned reproof, but it wasn’t about our usual subject but about an article of mine that appeared in a “non-professionally” printed publication. I asked what I had said in my article that had been offensive to him, but it turns out that he had taken no offense at what I had written but rather at the publication itself that he considered “racist” and “antisemitic.” He stated that he would never allow anything that he wrote to appear in such a publication, and he was very disappointed that I had seen fit to do so. As an addendum, he then asked why I was involved with “neo-Confederates!” Now, you must remember that this was a time at which the assault on all thing “Confederate” was in full swing and the public forum was awash with opinions and assaults on both sides of the issue.
First, to answer my “friend’s” point about my article appearing in such an “unworthy” source, I pointed out that his claim about not using such sources for his own articles was more than a little naïve. He was a published author and well known at least in his own field. Anything he wrote to any publication was assured of exposure. I, on the other hand, was a nobody (I had not yet written my own book but even so, my name has never become “well known”) so that if I wished my viewpoint to appear in print, I had to send it to sources that I believed would print it. I would even have accepted a “letter to the Editor” in The New York Times though I have no respect at all for that publication, feeling about it much as he felt about the publication in which my article appeared.
It was at this point that he asked why I seemed to be “getting involved” with “neo-Confederates” as if this were something rather beyond the pale. Below is my answer to his question. And although, at the close of our “discussion,” he did admit that I had not “offended” him, yet he ended our “relationship” such as it was. Of course, I understood that if he could not maintain contact with someone with whom he disagreed strongly – though I could have done so despite my own rejection of his viewpoint – it was not worth my time and energy to debate the matter and so we parted if not as friends, at least not as enemies from his viewpoint. Below is the final communication I sent to him in hopes of explaining why things were not as he believed. Did it matter? Probably not, but I think it’s a damned fine explanation for why we should not surrender to a false historical narrative:
Dear Name:
I have given considerable thought to your query on my “neo-Confederate” contacts. If I put in everything involved, you would have an essay and I’m sure your curiosity does not extend to that degree so I will try to keep it short.
The South was right, and I am not alone in that belief. Read the considered opinion of Lord Acton – a giant of his and any other time. In a letter to Robert E. Lee, Action wrote:
“I saw in States’ 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…. 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.”
After over ten years of research, I now know that what I revered for most of my life was an illusion and that our present national condition is the consequence of more than 150 years in which the original vision of most – but not all – of the Founders has been replaced by a central tyranny which at least used to pay “lip service” to the will of the people. My conclusions are summed up by Professor Jay Hoar, an historian from Maine (not Mississippi) who said:
“The worst fears of those Boys in Gray are now a fact of American life—a Federal government completely out of control.”
Of course, I have been assured that Hoar’s opinions are suspect because he spent time in the South. But if Hoar had lived on the moon, that would not change the fact that he is correct. Our “no-longer-federal” government is completely out of control and cares nothing for anyone’s consent, much less that of “the governed.”
And finally, I must bring forth the words of Ulysses Grant who said:
“The questions which have heretofore divided the sentiment of the people of the two sections—slavery and state’s rights, or the right of a state to secede from the Union—they (Southern men) regard as having been settled forever by the highest tribunal – arms – that man can resort to.”
And with that unchallenged sentiment, I realized that we no longer have any law but the law of the jungle – the survival of the strongest. Justice Antonin Scalia – a conservative – said the same thing when asked about the constitutionality of secession. Grant and Scalia were not talking about what was called after the war “the arbitrament of the sword” – that is, acceptance of a military defeat by such men as John Mosby and Robert E. Lee – but the actual belief that triumph in arms somehow bestowed legitimacy upon one side of an issue! If right is determined by might, then Hitler wasn’t “wrong,” he was merely bested in war! Had he won, his adherents would have every moral “right” to build the same type of monuments to him that we have built to another tyrant and war criminal, Abraham Lincoln! As well, if we accept Grant’s and Scalia’s premise, then we are then forced to agree with another “well-respected” conservative, John Bolton, who said that the United States government killed many Southern civilians during the Civil (sic) War without due process and it was the right thing to do! I reject that philosophy which apparently is now – and has been – the philosophy of this country for at least 150 years – ask the American Indian! If the right is determined by the strong rather than by the law, then why bother with the law except as a subterfuge to hide that fact from the ignorant and the naïve?
I stand with those whom you call “neo-Confederates” because they are waging an admittedly losing battle to preserve their history, their symbols and their way of life – Christian Western civilization – and I would prefer to die with the righteous than live in cooperation with the Spirit of the Age. They cannot win because the tide of history is against them but for those who think that their loss means nothing to “America,” I assure you, the symbols, history and heritage of the “The United States” will soon follow the symbols, history and heritage of The Confederate States. The latter can no more be allowed to remain in our Brave New World than the former. Already we see American – not Confederate – flags being censored in our schools lest they “offend” our Third World “guests” – invited or otherwise.
I am almost 72; my husband is almost 75. We are already “dead” in the eyes of Obamacare as is my handicapped son who is considered by our elite rulers just another expensive “useless eater.” My daughter and her husband have no problem with the current regime – and by that, I mean all of them and not just one political party. Indeed, I echo the sentiments of Patrick Buchanan who stated that the two parties are merely two wings on the same bird of prey. I have no grandchildren, nor will I have any, so I am not overcome with angst about the future at least with regard to my family.
It is sad to see the end of “the Great Experiment,” but actually it ended before it really began. The seeds of its destruction were sown at its birth. Patrick Henry was right when he declared that the Constitution was nothing but a plan for the installation of a tyrannous central government despite every effort to prevent that from happening (bye-bye Bill of Rights!). Benjamin Franklin was also right when he said that when the Congress discovered it could use the People’s money to buy elected office in perpetuity, the Republic was dead. Today, we are merely seeing these warnings played out. The final death blow was struck in 1865. We are only now coming to the last dying gasps.

For my own part, I think you should flee the cities and the suburbs as quickly as you can. Rural life is really no safe refuge against the onslaught of leftist aggression, and small-town life is fraught with problems, though nothing remotely comparable to those of city life. The main reason to escape the cities (if you can) is to experience the vestiges of life before the phantasms of television and computer existence replaced what was known as reality for every other generation of humans beforehand. In small towns, there still exists a generation that came of age before the Revolution of 1968. Men whose ideal of dress is plaid shirts, suspenders and slacks, and women whose idea of sociality is bringing casseroles and cakes to neighbors. There are still diners that didn’t get squashed by Applebee’s that don’t blare classic rock and coffee shops that play the local lousy Christian station rather than acoustic noodling and hipster groans.
This generation is passing, like I said, and those places are fading away. If you live near, say, a turkey plant, it’s like your town has already been replaced by Guatemalans and Somalis. But where the remnants of the old ways still exist, you are simply more free, and you will be able to better teach your children what real freedom looks like. The local tattoo artists and librarians might put up rainbows for Pride Month, but they don’t bedeck the streets like in the cities. In the cities, the tenor of life is set by activist freaks, violent criminals, and bohemians of one sort or another; in the suburbs, it is set by professionals and bureaucrats, who pave over everything and leave nothing for the individual. In small towns, the tenor of life is still set by men, the ones of the past who erected downtowns on a human scale, and those of the present who still work in the fields or the factories.
Like I said, all this is passing away. But seeing the remnants of a world that my grandparents and all the generations before them knew is useful not only for personal happiness but for a reminder of what the real is.
Many of the perennial conflicts on the Right arise from an inability to differentiate between the real and the notional. What is the “real?” It is life as the human race has commonly thought of it: nature, towns, race, religion, friendships, kin groups, and the like. The notional is the ideological battle, now waged almost solely in the digital sphere, with Twitter at the forefront of them; it subsists in memes and “vibe shifts” and the “Overton Window.” It exists wholly in the mind, and it achieves “victories” by capturing enough minds to a given ideological system. Hence the need for the “meme war.” Hence Elon Musk’s claims that control of Twitter can determine the death or life of Western Civilization.
That everyone takes these claims in stride is worth reflecting upon. In all times past, for ideology to hold such sway over the actual course of civilization, it required the smashing of altars, the commandeering of troops, the murder of a couple thousand or hundred-thousand or million peasants. In the past, ideology could not far outpace the real situation of the times. The Jacobins could blather about “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity” precisely because a market economy and the centralized bureaucracy had already gone far in upending and deracinating the position of peasant and noble. The real conditions of the social order accommodated for the ideological tenets of the Jacobin. Likewise, it was the vast and disgusting factory system that made Marx’s dictatorship of the proletariat seem ideologically feasible but, at times, preferable for a large number of workers. The real created the conditions in which ideology was seen as feasible or not.
In the present day, there are no classes in any meaningful sense. One needs to have production before questions of the “means of production” are salient, but in the “information economy” where services take the place of goods, class analysis is a feckless and outdated task. Nor do other aspects of real life meaningfully exist any longer. You cannot have a kin group where no one is interested in having children. You cannot have a true community when your community is designed by suburban planners and neutered by Civil Rights law. You cannot even have a social club where the government has veto power over its members and its very ability to get together in public. As Robert Putnam noted long ago, the age of the bowling club is dead, supplanted by television and Civil Rights law. You cannot have a parish or a church or any form of orthodoxy where services are offered via television. What is inherently personal must remain personal if it is to have any real effect on us.
People now live a supermajority of their lives in front of screens. Their most important “social interactions” occur there. Play once done in fields is now done in video games. Political life does not take place at local conventions but by blathering on Twitter. For the legion of pornography consumers, their sexual impulses are released there. Of course, the chat room, the video game, and the porn site are all fake places, created and maintained by a legion of nerds and so manipulated as those nerds so desire. The human race every year becomes dependent on a smaller and smaller number of nerds to maintain basic levels of sociality.
The leftist project always goes hand-in-hand with the triumph of the notional over the real. It is, and always has been, intrinsic to the leftist project to eradicate the real and replace it with notional concerns, thereby shifting power to the perverts and half-men who control the regulation of these notions. Nation, race, people – these once had concrete meaning to men, but have been popularly eradicated, deemed the figments of deluded racists and wicked reactionaries. And why shouldn’t this be the case, when true freedom is achieved on a computer screen or behind an avatar? The same process is occurring with biological sex. Why should we adhere to the dictates of God and gamete when all sexual functioning is essentially masturbatory, in which one’s “sexuality” is determined by the receptacle of this act? Even biological health is now being treated as a notional thing. Hence racism and sexism are now components of the “public health crisis” afflicting the world, and the CDC can recommend treatments not because they have anything to do with actual biological health, but only because “public health” may suffer in the alternative.
The whole world becomes year after year more of a notional thing, more of a digital figment. Idiots and cucks babble about “gnosticism,” a word they don’t understand in the least bit, but whose use is nonetheless telling. Any attempt to develop knowledge and practice of things outside the digital sphere is now gnosticism. And this is fitting, because the digital sphere is the only legitimate realm of politics; to act outside the sphere of memes and hashtags is to tap into some kind of “gnosis” beyond the realm of thought-influencers. For all the ugly, perverted freaks who are in or aspire to be part of our ruling class, such a prospect is beyond the pale.
But this is what all the best factions of the Right are doing. Establishing and grounding oneself in the real is the first task for any genuine rightwing movement. It is the first step in reestablishing sanity on both a personal and political level. Bodybuilding is still a very real activity. The mannerbund still holds promise of real social engagement. Nothing is more real than taking a wife and raising children. It places you in the position of nearly every human who has ever lived through the millennia. None of these things are sufficient to effect political or even personal change. But they are necessary precursors to reorienting the mind and heart towards what any real reaction must pursue.
When rightists talk about moving to rural areas and the prospects of national divorce, they are discussing real concerns, not simply the info war which can proceed in the gayest metropolis and in the heart of the Empire. Put simply, if you care about your own health and the health of your family, you should undoubtedly leave the cities. But the Shake Shack types have it right: there is no sure refuge in small towns and rural areas. The institutions are tainted there, too, though never as much as in the city or suburbs. More people find guidance from online communities than churches – this is true. But the solution to this is to rebuild the churches, not abandon them for the digital mosque.
Trump’s biggest feats were making immigration an issue – huge to men for whom America is not an ideological construct but a concrete place – and imposing trade rules that made it possible to work, earn, and create on domestic soil once again. The entire “trans movement” is premised on sex itself being a notional thing; anyone who looks at it honestly sees that it is a disease grown out of the digital environs and not a thing in itself. Trump himself is an apt reflection of the real/notional divide. He has existed since the 1990s more for his brand than anything he’s actually built or done, yet at the same time that brand has been centered around very real and normal things: accumulating genuine opulence, personal rule over business, normal sexual desires, a large and caring family. People like the Trump brand because it flies in the face of the beige technocratic rule. Because it is real and a person, and they strive to have a lesser form of it in their own lives.
The split between “trads” and other rightists is likewise determined by the real/notional split. Having a family is not in itself a political statement. But it provides the ground on which real politics should be based. This is true not only in Aristotle’s sense that the family is a microcosm of the state, but in a more pressing way in the modern age: that the family structure thoroughly grounds a man in the real versus the notional, the concrete versus the ideological. A young man can rant about whatever ideology he wants, but when he has a wife and child in his care that he would spill his blood for, he is constrained by the politics that will protect them. Not all men are destined to hunt in the Savanna or to write their will on the pages of history; for the vast majority of men, having a family is the most real thing they will ever do. To properly appreciate one’s family is to recall that digital chatter is just chatter, and it is only good so long as it acts as a tool towards achieving real ends.
A divide forms in the online Right in the fact that the ideas discussed online would be fireable or arrestable offenses in the real world. It is only in the digital sphere that the recrudescence of the real can be contemplated and discussed. The alternative is being led around by snide women and woke capital who control every institution. But the goal must be to reclaim real spaces. To keep such conversations going, but this time in diners and meeting halls, with friends you can see, hear, and shake hands with. Even if this isn’t feasible for us, then it is the goal of what we want to leave to our children. The goal isn’t to score merely intellectual victories, but to reorient the use of technology towards the establishment of real place.
A gay rapper talking about Hitler may very well shift the “Overton Window” but it’s meaningless. In the end, you’ll still be ruled by twink perverts pounding jungle beats into your ear until your dying day. All you end up with is a bunch of sexual fetishists making gas chamber jokes before they molest your neighbor’s kids.

(Note to readers: Below is Chapter VIII of my book, The Life and Times of Matthew Fontaine Maury, Pathfinder of the Seas. Nine other chapters of the book have been published here at Identity Dixie to date, and may be found at my contributor pages, here.)
The year was 1861, and the new President elect was en route to Washington to take command of the ship of State. Many questions and concerns surrounded the new President’s inauguration, and the country was in a general uproar. In the twenty odd years that had passed from the time Lieutenant Maury was appointed Superintendent of the Depot of Charts and Instruments under the Navy Dept., divisions between the Northern states and their Southern counterparts only grew more intense with the passing of each year.
There was talk in the South of secession or of leaving the Union if Mr. Lincoln should be elected, and in the Northern states the general sentiment was that such talk was tantamount to treason, an act of aggression and a prelude to civil war. In the South, the general attitude was quite different. The “Union,” in the South’s conception, had been, at its inception, a voluntary association of sovereign states who, through the instrument of the written Constitution, had only agreed to grant to the newly-formed national government certain prescribed powers, leaving the residue to the individual States or to the People to exercise as they should see fit within their own jurisdictions. In the north there was talk of a “higher law” – higher, they said, than the Constitution, and higher even than the Bible – that should, and would, govern the whole nation. By force of arms, if necessary.
To the Southern states, that was tantamount to treason, an act of aggression against the South and the prelude to civil war. So, tensions were running high, and there seemed to be no way to ameliorate the crisis and avert civil war.
It was aboard the U.S.S. Falmouth, serving in the capacity of ship’s Sailing Master that young Maury would conceive the idea for charting the winds and currents at sea. This was the voyage for which he had sought the best sailing directions to Rio de Janeiro in 1831, only to find precious little to satisfy the want. Being master of the ship meant that Matt had his own cabin onboard, and it would be within the confines of those quarters in his off-duty time that he would discover that his panacea for ennui could be put to practical use for making improvements in the Navy.
During this voyage, Matt would observe and study the curious phenomena of the low barometer off Cape Horn. And on this subject he would later write a scientific paper which would appear in the American Journal of Science, a Washington publication. In addition, it was aboard this same vessel that he would begin work organizing for the presses his ideas for a book on practical navigation. This was considered a bold step for an officer of Matt’s rank, but he quietly proceeded with his plan nevertheless, believing that the merit of the principles contained within the book, once published and widely disseminated, would vindicate his apparent presumptuousness when all was said and done.
Matt wrote from Philadelphia to his brother, Dick, on Oct. 29th, 1835, concerning the book’s imminent publication:
Dear Dick,
Yours of the 10th inst. is before me; for which I thank you most heartily. But first I must tell you how comes it that I am here.
I left Fredericksburg ten days ago, and am here for the purpose of hurrying my book through the press. The publishers were to let me have the proof-sheets in Fredericksburg, but they came to me so slowly that I resolved to come on here and use every exertion to bring the book out before Congress meets. Without wishing to excite your expectations, I will let you into the secret of my plans, which I wish you to preserve as a secret, in order that, if I should not succeed in what I undertake, my friends and family may not feel the effects of disappointment.
You must bear in mind that this is the first nautical work of science that has ever come from the pen of a naval officer; and upon its merits I intend to base a claim for promotion. Such a case has no precedent. Therefore you must look upon it as an experiment in which I may, or I may not, be successful. If I succeed, I shall be put over the heads of many who are now above me. You see in this another motive for secrecy, for many of those over whose heads it is likely I would be placed would, if they knew I contemplated such a thing, use every exertion to prevent it.
I shall ask to be made a lieutenant of ten years’ rank. If this is done (of which I am by no means sanguine), besides the advantage of making me old in rank, it will entitle me (I think) to back pay, as though I had been a lieutenant these ten years; and this back pay will amount to some $4,000 or $5,000. I shall be promoted next March at any rate, and my object is to get the book out and present my claim before that time, which, by being presented before I receive any promotion, will be doubly strong. Hence the haste to have the book out. …
Publication of the book would not result in his promotion to the rank of lieutenant of ten years’ rank as Matt had hoped, but the book was out nevertheless, and although it contained principles on practical navigation that contradicted some of the assumptions of Bowditch, it would, some few years later, become the standard for practical navigation in the U.S. Navy.
Nathaniel Bowditch was born March 26, 1773, in Salem, Massachusetts. At the age of twelve, Nat became indentured for nine years as a bookkeeping apprentice for a ship chandler in Boston. During which time he began to show great aptitude in mathematics and foreign languages. Recognizing his capacity for book learning, his master gave him access to his library containing an extensive collection of scientific books written in English and other languages.
Nat would sail aboard merchant vessels on numerous occasions during his late adolescent and early adult years. On these voyages he became intensely interested in the principles of practical navigation at sea, and would, as most other seamen did at the time, use and consult John Hamilton Moore’s The New Practical Navigator as his textbook. But Moore’s book was known to contain a number of errors, and when Nat began to study it for himself, he would discover that it in fact contained thousands more errors yet undiscovered. He was subsequently asked by the American publisher of Moore’s book to correct and revise the third edition on his fifth voyage. But Nat found the task so difficult and the work so extensive as to be impracticable, and, at length, determined to quit the project altogether, and to engage the much simpler task of writing his own book on practical navigation.
This work he began and saw to its completion, strictly adhering to the principle he’d set for himself to “put down in the book nothing I cannot teach the crew.” And it is said that on that voyage, the entire crew of twelve, including the ship’s cook, “became competent to take and calculate lunar observations, and to plot the correct position of the ship” at any given point on its voyage. Bowditch’s book would later be published in 1802 under the title The New American Practical Navigator, and would soon replace Moore’s book as the shipping industry standard for the western hemisphere. A distinction it would retain for the next one hundred and fifty years.
No one in a position to recommend his promotion in 1836 understood the value of Matt’s newly published contribution to practical navigation. Indeed, most believed Matt’s book to be of little to no practical value at all. After all, they already had Bowditch, and who was this young passed “Middy” to believe himself to have somehow improved upon the long-established principles of Bowditch?
This inability to understand him had long been a festering source of frustration for Matt; it was something he had encountered repeatedly during his time in the Navy. Indeed, out of a class of 53 midshipmen brought before the Navy’s Board of Examination some years before, Matt would place a disappointing 27th among them in his examination. What appeared a mediocre performance in his examination was, however, due to no failure on Matt’s part.
The examination as it was then given was verbal, not written: a board member would begin by asking the midshipman a question about navigation; the examinee would in turn give his verbal answer; another member would ask a different question, and so on until the examination was complete.
Matt understood the principles of practical navigation as well as any member on the examination board, and better than most. His expression or recitation of the principles, however, deviated from the exercise of rote memorization virtually all other midshipmen seeking advancement answered before the board. This being the case, the examiners mistook his unusual recitations as indication of a failure on his part to fully grasp the concepts. In truth, Matt’s deep and thorough understanding of the principles far exceeded that of his examiners, and that was the biggest source of their misunderstanding of the content of his answers.
Meanwhile, as a newly married young man beginning his own family, Matt wished to provide for his family’s needs and comforts to the best of his ability while continuing the pursuit of his chosen vocation in the Navy if at all possible. His secret plan for advancement based on the merit of his book was thusly an attempt on his part to provide for their comfort and safety while also finishing what he had started in the Navy. His failure to establish himself a lieutenant of ten years rank would force Matt to re-think and reassess his plans. Might it be better for the family if he were to resign from the Navy and seek employment in another profession? This dilemma would haunt Matt for a time and a season, but the happy answer would come in due course.
Early in August of 1842, Lieutenant Maury would write to his cousin, Ann Maury, in New York that he had “come from home a month ago” to begin work in his new position, and that “so far the new duties are admirable.” The new duties to which he alludes in the letter were the duties entailed as Superintendent of the Navy’s Depot of Charts and Instruments at Washington.
The Depot of Charts and Instruments was first established as a naval office some twelve years before in 1830, just six years after Maury entered his naval service as a midshipman in 1824. The function of the Depot was to keep an inventory of navigational instruments and nautical charts to be issued to naval vessels for their voyages upon request. As such, the depot would also oversee repair and calibration of the Navy’s inventory of navigation instruments such as sextants, chronometers, compasses and the like.
But insofar as its intended function for supplying nautical charts to outbound vessels was concerned, it would soon be discovered that the depot could not supply a broad enough inventory of charts for all outbound ships containing the latest data along their routes unless it began to publish its own charts containing its own collected data along different and sundry routes. To this end, the Depot sponsored an expedition in 1837 led by Captain Charles Wilkes that would lead to the publication of four additional charts to add to its small inventory. Notwithstanding the benefit of the addition of the new charts, this method of expanding the depot’s inventory of charts containing data for previously uncharted parts of the oceans was exceedingly slow and inefficient. This was due to the simple fact that a single expedition to the purpose can only collect data for its precise route at the exact time of year it was taken. For a single vessel, or even a group of ten vessels, to collect the data sought after for all parts of the oceans at all seasons of the year would take thousands, perhaps even tens of thousands of years.
A more efficient and practicable system for collecting data from all parts of the ocean at all times of the year must therefore be devised and carried out. But how? Would it be possible for the United States Navy to send out hundreds, or even thousands of expeditions similar to that of Wilkes expedition to various parts of the oceans at all times and all seasons of the year? After all, the oceans are vast and almost boundless expanses extending for thousands and tens of thousands of miles in any one direction from any given point upon them. Such an endeavor would simply be impossible to carry out; it is utterly impracticable, and seemed as utterly hopeless. That is, until Lieutenant Maury, with his active and original mind, took command of the Depot.

I recently watched Bullet Train, which turned out to be pretty decent. Life these days is a far cry from the 80’s and 90’s when I didn’t even understand what a real problem was and took for granted the regular release of good action movies. Moreover, these movies never took themselves seriously, which was part of the escapism. The villains often died horrific, cartoonish deaths while the heroes delivered pithy one-liners. It was really great.
Depending on my mood, this is the best movie ever made. Bullet Train is set on a high-speed train in Japan. I’ve taken them in Europe and Asia, including this particular line. It’s a very pleasant, first world experience, sort of like a flight before America began collapsing. I’m not lambasting the fact that we don’t have high speed trains. The size of this country and the population density would make a ticket so expensive everybody would still drive instead.
For instance, Taiwan has a high-speed rail line that connects Taipei with the second largest city, Kaohsiung in the south. The island is mostly mountains and almost everyone lives along a dense coastal urban corridor between the two cities. One can take the subway to the HSR underneath Taipei Main Station, arrive at his southern destination and get back on the subway. The economics of it work quite nicely.
We don’t really have this type of situation in America, even between New York City and DC. I traverse between them on Amtrak and it’s alright because I suppose this is where the fancy people live. South of DC, your train could literally be four hours late. You just never know anything except that it won’t be on time. That would blow the minds of people from most other countries. Many years ago, I took an overnight train from Bangkok to Laos. If you needed to use the restroom, it was a hole in the floor but the time on the ticket was correct. This is a very basic civilizational principle.
One reason I find myself riding Amtrak is because driving up the East Coast into Manhattan is a nightmare. I had the misfortune of doing that recently and wondered if this was one of the torments suffered by the souls of the damned. Endless tolls, snarling traffic and indians from the jungles of Central America selling fruit. Perhaps this is how one transits through the bowels of Hell. It’s probably unhealthy to let your imagination run wild with this sort of stuff.
Still, the point of my rant is that I’m tormented by imagining what this place could be like if it was a functional country. I can imagine arriving at Penn Station in the time specified on my ticket and then getting onto the subway and not seeing a homeless guy passed out or wonder if he’s going to take a crap right there or wake up and shove anyone in front of an oncoming train. I can imagine “teens” jumping the turnstiles and then getting clobbered by a mick cop. I can imagine rolling past Petersburg, Virginia and not musing that it would’ve made a good location for The Walking Dead. Many such things I can imagine.
I’m essentially my own therapist because I just don’t often seem to encounter anyone else who’s outraged at this shit. I used to wonder if everybody else was just born with a sense of grim determination, but I’ve realized they just lack imagination. So, the disparity between what they have to deal with, and what they have the possibility of not dealing with, doesn’t place any burden on their psyche.
Here’s one of the other things I notice: most people don’t spend their time noticing things. I’ve got a cross country flight soon. When I fly, I always book a window seat because you can see all kinds of interesting sights. If you’re really traveling a distance, you might be able to look out the window and see the day while flying through the night or glaciers over the Brooks Range.
Most people look at their phone or watch a movie if they’re not sleeping, I notice what’s available to notice is literally of no interest to them at all. They’ll often close the window before the plane even takes off. I guess this is why a Satanic agenda can be pushed on them until the moment they realize it’s too late (if that even occurs). Getting shoved in front of a train happens pretty quick. Well, I’m going to pour myself a drink. That’s an important part of my therapeutic process.
Merry Christmas, everybody!

The exchange of goods and services has existed since the earliest forms of civilization, from simple barter arrangements at the local town square to Phoenician traders navigating the Mediterranean with goods from Europe and North Africa. Today, however, the scope of exchange is truly massive, with online commerce coming to dominate nearly all segments of retail, and the scale encompassing transoceanic trade routes totaling 11 billion tons in maritime cargoes in 2021. Underpinning all this lies an extremely complex web of producers, shippers, pipelines, warehouses, and commodities traders that include the massive concerns such as Koch Industries in energy and Glencore in metals, with over 100,000 employees each. Billions of dollars have been made and lost in commodities futures, and as volatility continues to disrupt prices of everyday items from gasoline to grain, the trend of ever tighter global trade integration seen since the end of the Cold War may start to unravel as regional blocks choose to have closer and more reliable supply chains.

In modern America and across the Western world, men are losing their sense of identity, their desire to participate in society, and are, consequently, leaving the workforce in droves, as well as neglecting academic pursuits. A plethora of data abounds about the high rates of male suicide, much of which is buried by the current system because such information does not reflect the official narrative – one which demonizes men on a daily basis and promotes outright hostility and contempt for men, especially White heterosexual males. If you’re not onboard with the degenerate trends of the day and are a working-class man who is proud of his ancestors and loves his community, then you are to be despised and denied access to a decent life by the ruling elites.
It is due to this societal siege on men that many are simply opting out. In turn, they’re left feeling hopeless and lacking any direction in a world where they are repeatedly told that they aren’t needed anymore, or that they have to be better, or that they are “toxic,” etc. The truth of the matter is that it is simply a very dark time to be a man in modern America. One could argue to the contrary, pointing out the various comforts afforded to us, along with the fact that modern men no longer fight off predators, engage in subsistence farming, and are not conscripted off to war. However, it must also be considered that there was a time when men had something to strive for, a family to love and care for, and when men were appreciated for the important roles they filled.
“Earlier this year, women became the majority of the workforce for the first time in U.S. history. Most managers are now women too. And for every two men who get a college degree this year, three women will do the same. For years, women’s progress has been cast as a struggle for equality. But what if equality isn’t the end point? What if modern, postindustrial society is simply better suited to women?”
The Atlantic, “The End of Men,” 2010
In today’s world, this is no longer the case; men have nothing except the disapproval that the modern world provides them. And yet, there are still those asking: why are male suicides so extremely high, why are men abandoning society, why are they committing violent acts, and, finally, why are they refusing to interact with women? Eventually, all of these questions are usually dismissed as the result of “toxic masculinity” and “incel” behavior. This is the prevailing attitude of many today, from our elected officials to social media influencers, and it is getting much worse. The war on men (and traditional masculinity) has been ongoing for several generations, but the results are becoming more apparent by the day and will become more noticeable over time.
Something that is commonly pointed out is that there are now more women than men in college, and that’s not surprising considering that women are encouraged to get jobs and degrees because doing so is “liberating” them from the patriarchy. They are also told to sleep with whomever they want, to constantly consume and engage in materialistic pleasures, and incur large amounts of debt. The cosmopolitan elites have set the parameters of our society to perpetuate this cycle for women, all to the detriment of men. Of course, this scheme harms women as well, but that is for a different topic. The trend of men wishing to be childless and not become fathers is more than concerning. Modern society is producing a different type of man: one who rejects fatherhood, is devoid of meaningful relationships, and is socially destitute. From the 1960s onward, there has been a concerted effort to topple men from their natural position as leaders of their household, of their workplace, and of their tribe. Now, the results are quite observable, men are virtually powerless and without a clue as to what to do.
On social media and other platforms, lost young men are being taken advantage of by predatory entrepreneurs who profit of their plight. These individuals, while appearing to promote masculine values and admittedly give decent advice occasionally, do not care about these lost men, nor are they going to restore the social order. On the contrary, they mostly push promiscuity, advocte destructive hyper-individualism and materialism, as well as an overall anti-Christian message. These people are only compounding the problem, they have no intention of solving them. Pay no attention to the likes of Andrew Tate or Jordan Peterson, they are not allies or mentors – the sooner men discover this, the better.
Another phenomenon mentioned above is that men are exiting the workforce in large numbers. This is largely because men are told that women can do a better job, and also because they feel underappreciated and/or are rejected from potential applicant pools due to the need for “diversity.” As a result, men are quitting their jobs, the employment market, and are exiting from an increasingly hostile workforce. Men are being pushed out by the system and they are responding – it’s that simple. Is this men’s fault? Hardly, because there are now anti-male hiring quotas and practices. Men have no incentive in serving an economic system that hates them, much less White men. This is a problem that will have dire consequences in the near future, and, of course, the elites are promoting it to further their control.
Lastly, the most concerning issue with men today are the incels, mass shooters, and the alarming rate of single men. Due to the high rates of divorce, indoctrination, and also the 1960s Sexual Revolution, men have been taught that women can do as they please and that they must abide. A great amount of young millennial men (and many more Gen Z) were raised by single mothers; therefore, they were raised to be less masculine. Today, these men struggle to socialize, to find meaning, and to engage in the activities that men normally would. They also struggle with women, with loneliness, and, ultimately, some turn to violence. It is truly a tragic situation. What can be done? Below are some suggestions.
If Western men reject the modern world and endeavor to secure a future for themselves and their posterity, then the future will not be as dark as it currently appears. Perhaps, as the famous meme states, hard times will create strong men – men who will defeat the current regime.

The Dissident Right has a women problem. Specifically, we are failing to invest the time and energy necessary to recruit, cultivate, and retain talented female dissidents. It is time for the Dissident Right, especially Southern Nationalists, to reevaluate and work toward greater female dissident participation if we seek to achieve our strategic objectives. The purpose of this article is to explore the reasons why we need more female participation, ideas as to how to make that possible, and a sensible valuation as to their potential within the movement.
Before I go further, let me address a natural reaction from our sector of the political spectrum. I am not advocating some kind of affirmative action for the sake of inclusivity for dissident conduct. Rather, I see women as a practical tool in the promotion of dissident goals. Women are our God given partners. They are designed to provide elements to the family dynamic, especially the production of life itself. As our partners, they should have a role in the promotion of Southern Nationalist discourse and objectives. This needs to be viewed holistically – whether it involves female writers, narrators, and content producers or simply the promotion of pro-Southern ideologies to their children and grandchildren. We find ourselves in a full-scale struggle and it requires a total solution.
Furthermore, women are excellent at facilitating certain critical functions of an organization that should not be dismissed. The importance of administrative tasks, intelligence gathering, and facilitating communications among other members of the Dissident Right are all invaluable. Some of our Southern women are the most important conduits of information sharing between organizations and personalities. We, at Identity Dixie, maintain open lines of communications between other groups and/or larger media personalities due, in part, to women who keep those back channels open. My personal communications and organizational cooperation with Irish Nationalists are facilitated by a small team of women.
From a purely functional level, women have played a critical role in the conduct of warfare throughout history. This is not the “Wonder Woman – Girl Power” type stuff that is deservedly demeaned by the Right. I do not believe in the mythical female warrior. Rather, women such as Virginia’s Isabelle “Belle” Boyd during the War Between the States or German spy Mata Hari played critical roles as intelligence gatherers for their respective countries. There was no denying their patriotism. As information gathering on antifa increases, cultivating our own seemingly innocuous assets will be critical to our long-term success and the curtailment of Marxist agitators, especially as 2025 nears.
Male infiltrators have failed where female assets have succeeded in areas like Atlanta, Miami, Richmond, and Dallas. We need more of them. White women have a much easier time speaking about leftist political and cultural positions than White men because they are inundated with leftist talking points from a young age. Conversations on pro-abortion, women’s rights, gender diversity, etc., are part of their grooming within public institutions. They know what to say and how to say it better than we do.
Whereas leftist agitators have weaponized femme fatales to infiltrate rightwing groups, that is rarely due to intelligent discourse on dissident talking points. The Left uses Nazi imagery, CSA battle flags, antiquated iconography, and cleavage to infiltrate organizations or disarm less cautious individuals who think with the wrong head. No one on the Left – male or female – knows how to speak “Southern Nationalist” to a mature Southern Nationalist. By mature, I do not mean age. I mean emotional and intellectual maturity. There are plenty of older dummies who fall for homosexual antifa males hiding behind avatars with large breasts and a Roman salute. One of the many reasons Identity Dixie has no female members is largely to avoid this phenomenon from occurring.
Returning to the idea of a female’s potential for information gathering, we should use this ready resource to maximum advantage. The astounding number of sexual deviants and convicted pedophiles on the political Left is ripe for manipulation. Organized female dissidents could harvest mountains of evidence from this softest underbelly of the radical Left.
Communications is another area in which female dissident participation should be utilized. There are three key areas of communications within which females would excel: facilitation, narration, and amplification. Each sector has its own unique characteristics.
As it pertains to facilitation, as stated earlier, I have enjoyed the privilege of female facilitated communications between parties. One reason I believe that females do well in this regard is that they rarely come across as territorial or competitive when intersecting across multiple divisions of the Dissident Right. Females working for National Socialist entities communicating with Southern Nationalist content producers, as an example, do so in a way that comes across as a service to the group rather than territorial or guarded. In fact, they seem unguarded and friendly, even when they remain cautious and disciplined. Since my handle in Ireland is different than my handle in the United States, I lean on female facilitators for the sake of nationalist ideological cross-pollination. Training each other and material support are both made easier when important conduits are established. Women play key roles within these objectives.
As it pertains to narration, there are several factors at play regarding female messaging to broader audiences. It is impossible to watch Hellstorm without admiring the brilliant job Sinead McCarthy did as a narrator. A well-spoken female voice in a familiar accent or tone can resonate with an audience – male or female – that might be otherwise less receptive to countervailing or simply marginally different opinions. Charming Southern female accents can convey ideas that seem harsh when delivered by male voices.
Think of the impact a modern “Axis Sally” or “Tokyo Rose” could have on devastating military recruitment at a time when the military is our greatest enemy. It shows nothing but hatred for our people, our traditions, and our values. Making military service the subject of derision by female propagandists can greatly help our cause. Reducing the American military’s ability to wage war should be our number one immediate goal. Marines serving for the defense of globohomo should be the new cuckhold label of 2023. No one can undermine a boy’s desire to serve the United States like a good old fashioned American girl. They are great at talking boys into serving; they can be even better talking them out of serving. Weaponize the social experimentation gifts the U.S. DOD gives us every single day. Children, however, are really where we can utilize women in a narration role.
If it is the goal of the Dissident Right to ensure the perpetuation of our nations, then we must do a better job communicating to future generations of children. We do not need to co-opt or reinvent Disney. Low-cost animated stories with a female voice could be extremely helpful in promoting nationalist ideas to our children and grandchildren. Children’s books, games, and other interactive means to counteract inevitable modern programming in public schools or mainstream media are examples of the areas within which we can make the biggest dissident impact. The political Right has attempted to do this – albeit in frequently awkward ways. A better job at creating social and cultural building blocks should involve the same people who will likely employ their use – mothers.
Finally, there is the role of amplification of messaging. The Dissident Right is great at getting its message to 49% of the White population – males. We are lagging when it comes to women. There are some great Dissident Right female accounts that amplify dissident messaging – usually around traditional values, femininity, and subtle societal observations. We should help them achieve critical mass. Female dissidents seem crass and frankly pathetic when they attempt to play male communications roles, using harsh language or edgy imagery. They excel at reminding our White female counterparts that they are the fairer sex and worthy of productive and protective male partners, leading to healthy relationships that bear children. This should be cultivated and expounded upon.
For example, the fact that there is no Dissident Right podcast version of The View is surprising so late in the game. Of course, we do not need a Dissident Right version of Joy Behar or Whoopi Goldberg yelling over each other. But a team of well spoken, responsive and informed women discussing a host of issues of the day, intermixed with different feminine topics related to the home and family, would likely gain traction very quickly and help amplify dissident propaganda.
Finally, even those women who are not involved in our day-to-day dissident activities are clearly impacted by the deleterious impacts of a collapsing West. We need to craft messaging that speaks to those women who sense something is wrong and are deeply concerned for their children and grandchildren. The reaction of female protesters when Loudoun County transgender and anti-White propaganda came to light is an example of the type of reaction we can expect if we foment the type of anger that is both organic and acceptable.
We really need to do more of the kind of work we were able to achieve in Northern Virginia. We have had similar successes in the suburbs of Atlanta, Eastern Tennessee, Northeastern and Central Florida. Those of us intimately involved in that project know that it was due to a limited and hyper-targeted communications campaign among a very small group using some of our female allies and their mainstream social media mechanisms to deliver the messages we needed to resonate within key school boards. We could never have envisioned the success and the rapidity at which that campaign spread. We need to do a lot more.
While we are aware that two other political groups acted simultaneously to our work, we accidentally intersected with their messaging campaigns. Had we better coordinated with the women on one of those teams, I believe we could have had an even more powerful role in Virginia politics in 2021. As an example, the Florida Project achieved outstanding results in 2021 and 2022. I fully expect 2023 to be more important, especially as “DeSantis 2024” rhetoric heats up. The Florida Project model, beginning in 2020, is the model for other states and it requires female participation to succeed.
In sum, the Dissident Right is maturing as an organized force. We are coordinating at levels that were previously hamstrung by self-serving personalities. Southern Nationalists have our own goals, and we should hammer those goals home. It is time to take this to the next level. We should be recruiting female dissidents, working with them to achieve maximum proficiency, and spread our messaging to sectors that have heretofore remained largely underserved. We need to more aggressively target mothers, grandmothers, single women, and children with a messaging blitz. Making that happen will require our God given partners – women.
The post Cultivating Female Dissidents appeared first on Identity Dixie.
The reader of this essay may wonder about the title of this piece. To make matters clear, the title is not a reference to Byelorussians, anti-communist Russian Civil War partisans, or Russians of European extraction. In fact, the title is a reference to Norman Mailer’s seminal essay from 1957 – “The White Negro: Superficial Reflections on the Hipster.” Now, I don’t recommend that any of you read the essay mentioned, since it truly is fairly shallow, but I felt this would be a good point of departure for my own metaphysical sketch of American life at the present.
In his essay, Mailer draws a picture of American life where the omnipresent threat of thermonuclear war, combined with the prevailing conformity of post-war America, has created a stultifying, materialistic, and neurotic society where a growing number of people find it impossible to “fit in” or create genuine meaning in their lives. As a result of these tensions, a large underground had developed around those aspects of American society that couldn’t be integrated into the mainstream of Eisenhower-era America, namely the African-American community and its adjacent bohemian subcultures. With black jazz and blues serving as a unifying force for this “shadow” of ‘50s America, a purpose which rock ‘n’ roll would fulfill for later generations, a smoldering underground was forged where America’s outcasts could find refuge from the shallow materialism of their peers. According to Mailer, it was only natural for most “American existentialists” to seek refuge in this culture, to learn what he could from the Negro and even grow to be more like him, to identify with him and his chaotic free-spirited way of life, ever in search of his next high. In a world where all life on Earth could be wiped out in an instant, one could be more like the Negro and live for today.
Regardless of what you may think of the counter-culture of the ‘50s and its later permutations, you cannot deny that Mailer touched upon a palpable aspect of his Zeitgeist. No matter your political alignment, and the counter-culture in the United States certainly did have roots in the Nietzschean counter-cultures of 19th century and early 20th century Europe, you were bound to absorb some of the “synapses” of the African-American if you were at all sensitive to social dynamics and inclined towards rebellion.
Without delving too deeply into the subject of the post-war counter-culture, I think one can safely say that what may have started as authentic rebellion eventually culminated in the “New Establishment” of the 1970s. With the ascendance of this new and more diverse establishment, which, in all honesty, came to power by hijacking the existential angst of the American hippies and beatniks, the inherent rebelliousness of the American youth culture, and its attached bohemian milieus, continued to fade, until it was, by the 2000s, nothing but a mere shadow of its former self. By the mid-2000s, when neoliberalism seemed most firmly entrenched, it appeared there was no counter-culture at all to speak of; instead, what existed was performative posturing of the lowest sort. Even the Republican Party had come to embrace many of the policies of the Left and the “New Establishment” – so, it seemed, the sun had set on the timeless American rebel.
Needless to say, as history will always have it, neoliberalism was not the end of humanity’s political development, but instead a major hiccup in world-historical evolution. This all became clearly evident with the stock market crash of 2007 – 2008 and the subsequent economic depression, brought about by wanton deregulation of the finance sector, allowing for the abuse of derivatives markets on a massive scale. With this collapse of the Western economies, the fate of this new order was sealed, though they assumed otherwise.
While, to some, it may have seemed that the election of Barack Obama in 2008 represented the apotheosis of the New Left in the United States, it was in fact its death knell. With the advent of the Obama administration, the Left continued its assimilation of marginalized groups, and especially American blacks, until they were almost totally integrated into the mainstream power structure of the Democratic Party, and thus the American establishment. With this shift, they had lost their genuine revolutionary fervor, and their cultural cachet soon followed. When the will to separate and forge their own destiny had disappeared, as advocated by Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey, so too did their unique sparkle within the American underworld. The American existentialist, therefore, was once again adrift in his lonely sea of despair, or so it seemed!
Little did the average regime apparatchik know, there was a new revolutionary spirit germinating in the shadows of bourgeois America. Unlike previous manifestations of post-war unrest, this would prove a far greater threat to the American establishment. Deep within certain hidden forums and academies, blogs, and on certain imageboards such as 4chan, a new mode of expression was manifesting. However, this time, it was not the black who was giving expression to his discontent, but the White youths, mostly Millennials, who had been marginalized by left-liberal policies since the end of the Cold War. No longer able to find true meaning in a world where their once proud nations had been rendered multicultural hellholes, mere economic zones as opposed to living, breathing cultures, they turned to the seemingly forgotten ideas of Spengler, Nietzsche, and the other philosophers of Germanic pessimism.
From this milieu grew many ideas and personalities, many of which I’m sure the reader is aware and so I’ll go without mentioning them. Still, for many years, this smoldering movement lay dormant, lying in wait for its opportunity, which it found, finally, in 2016. The 2016 election cycle, in my view, represented a genuinely revolutionary moment in American history. Despite what you may think of Donald Trump, it allowed for grievances to be voiced which had to that point been suppressed. With the emergence, then, of long forgotten nationalist ideas on social media, with the eruption of this new, virtual underworld, the American existentialist once again found his ground, this time among the primarily European-American dissidents of the West. In this world, he could thrive, in opposition to the powers that be and the prison they had wrought.
All through this transformation of the White American outcast, we can notice a significant trend, which will be the main focus of this essay – that is the trend to admire or sympathize with Putin’s Russian Federation. This is all very understandable considering the similarities between the United States and Russia and Putin’s achievements. The parallels are marked and certainly well known to the reader; both Cold War superpowers, they suffered from similar fates after the collapse of the USSR, resulting in increasing inequality, a decreased quality of life, and both cultural and technological stagnation.
With this shift in American governance, which could be characterized as the overextension of certain neoliberal policies for short term economic gains, America saw a marked decline in prestige, cohesion, and vitality, exposing the inherent weakness of the post-war order. However, while Russia under Putin turned away from liberalism and towards a managed democracy infused with Orthodox Christianity, the United States decided to accelerate itself towards what they believed was a left-liberal utopia, as foreseen by John Rawls and the like. Needless to say, America’s foolhardy optimism, no doubt bolstered by its so-called “victory” in the Cold War, was ultimately its undoing. No sensible man would dare to say, in the current year, that the United States has managed to preserve its traditional way of life, while they could conceivably say that about Russia.
A natural product of this, coupled perhaps with increased Slavic immigration and greater cultural osmosis in a broader sense, has been the Russification of the American outcast. Indeed, as America progressively became more authoritarian in its assertion of left-liberalism, which is essentially just a dialectical synthesis of Marxism and classical liberalism, the American dissident has had to become vastly MORE Russian in his temperament. Under the constant watch of the state’s secret police, with regime apparatchiks in every major corporation and government office, where one unflinchingly must toe the line of the new “woke” ideology, or else risk becoming unpersoned, the American dissident has had to learn to keep his opinions to himself, which is something very un-American in a way, as the First Amendment was always held to be sacred. With this turn, the dissident has then learned to embrace stoicism, samizdat, dark humor, irony, and all of the once unnecessary tools of those other dissidents in Eastern Europe. All of the freedoms once taken for granted are now under threat, and the free discourse of the world’s most powerful republic has become strained; with this, the American man, that pinnacle of modernity who once towered over the world like the Olympians of old, has been revealed as a mere mortal.
Though, as fate would have it, the American is not so easily tossed aside, and what has emerged in response to these pressures is a profound underground ecosystem that has surpassed any of its counterparts elsewhere. Within this parallel ecosystem of broadcasts, humor, and samizdat, the American dissident, now likely to be a right-winger of either a futurist or traditionalist persuasion, temporarily in exile from his spiritual home in the center of American society, has been able to find his bearings and regroup for what may be the final struggle that determines the fate of European civilization. As a result of his incredible and heartbreaking alienation, the Western man has once again found the silence necessary to connect with his soul. In this silence, he has grown more philosophical, more spiritual, while the old art and music speaks to him once more. In this sense, he grows ever more like his counterparts in Russia, and less like the remnants of the woke, consumerist mainstream.
As one might expect, the recent war in the Ukraine has brought these cultural developments into focus. In the United States we now see a large contingent of conservatives and their fellow travelers, including some sitting members of the House and Senate, oppose America’s aid to the Ukraine. To touch upon the absurd economics of American foreign aid would take another essay, but this tendency, for the American Right, unimpeded by the recent anti-Russian hysteria on the part of the Democrats, to now identify with Putin’s regime in Russia seems to be set in stone. That’s not to say that Putin’s regime is perfect, because it certainly isn’t – Putin’s Russia has myriad problems of its own – but it’s certainly superior to the downright traitorous and nefarious regimes of the West.
To touch upon some of the more speculative aspects of this trend, I’d like to refer to the theories of Oswald Spengler. According to Spengler, cultures have a lifecycle, evolving from the early “cultural stage” of development, which is the stage of maximum potential and vitality, to the civilizational stage, which is a calcification of the cultural form. However, one underdiscussed aspect of Spengler’s theory is the concept of “pseudomorphosis.” According to Spengler, before a proper culture materializes, it can experience pseudomorphosis. Pseudomorphosis, which is the process of transformation into a pseudomorph, literally meaning “false form,” is a term taken from mineralogy, referring to how certain minerals supplant other minerals and take on their shape. Spengler uses this term to refer to very young cultures, or proto-cultures, that are heavily influenced by older, civilizational culture forms. Russia, according to Spengler, falls into this category; while it is heavily influenced by the Western (Faustian) culture, it is in fact its own culture yearning for expression. Indeed, it is theorized to represent the dawning of the Slavic culture form, based around the prime symbol of the “infinite plane.” So, though a pseudomorphic proto-culture may lack coherence, it is actually a state of immense potential and vitality; it is thus reasonable to assume that Russia, with this immense will-to-power, has the ability to reinvigorate aspects of the Western civilization that have been rendered dormant.
To conclude this piece, I’d like to implore the reader to consider the many changes that have taken place in the West since the 1990s, especially in the United States, and the subsequent ramifications of these tectonic shifts. So, is it true that the American man has become more secretive, calculating, and perhaps mystical in his outlook? Does the situation in the United States not represent circumstances similar to the final days of the Soviet Union? Do we not, as Western men, now have the opportunity to make a difference on a world-historical scale, to put our foot down once and for all? These questions, and others, I leave to the reader. But, at this time, I think that one thing is fairly certain; we are without a doubt seeing the dawn of a new man in America.

The true calamity unleashed on the world, beginning with the orchestrated madness of the French Revolution and then with Marx’s systematic articulation of a socio-economic alternative, wasn’t really an ideology but the idea of perpetual and “Ultimate Revolution.” This is the restless and insatiable desire to tear down the established order, not so much to replace it with a well-conceived alternative, but for the delight of destruction itself. It appeals to a disturbingly large minority of any population.
For all the poetic and rhetorical flourish of the revolutionary arguing that painful transition is necessary in order to have justice and peace, it is not only never achieved (because it is not desired), but the candid letters and accounts of the revolutionaries themselves reveal clearly it is the demonic lust for control, personal power, and the simple love of violence.
Before Castro came to power, he and his uppity colleagues were called the Resentfuls by the Cubans. Though born into relative comfort, an early toxic exposure to ideas and people, perverted them into believing they weren’t capable enough, smart enough, or even attractive enough to succeed. In turn, they resented those that were capable, successful, and simply happy.
Catechism of RevoltOne of the best prisms to understand the idea of Ultimate Revolution is to observe it through Lenin, and the books that fixed his mind and life’s intent.
A book has the power to shape because it is a sustained and intimate encounter with another mind. They work on you at a deeper level than even the most profound conversation you’ll ever have. They can be revisited, a jarring sentence read over and over again, underlined, written down, and taped on a wall.
The author carefully selects the words, metaphors, and allusions to be used. The most impactful final structure of an idea will be tested in multiple variations, sometimes over weeks and months or even years. An argument, a character or a story’s arc can be crafted to persuade and move in ways the most gifted orator could never spontaneously achieve.
Lenin read Marx and understood the implications. But, it didn’t inspire him. He was clear about this in his letters. Marx provided a framework, but The Catcher in the Rye for Lenin was What Is to Be Done?, a novel he read five times over the summer as a 17-year-old. It was what he said convinced him to be a revolutionary.
The utterly ephemeral point of the novel’s revolution was a vague “happiness for the masses” to be achieved through a bizarre pairing of industrial production and a simple communal lifestyle. The novel romanticizes small socialist cooperatives, while calling on the inspired intellectual class to step up as the prophets and educators of the laboring masses. Like those believing in reincarnation and thinking they were once a pharaoh or Napoleon rather than a goat herder, it seems all revolutionaries are called to be the intellectual leaders who will be guiding the potato and cabbage production.
The possibly insane but deadly serious anarchist and nihilist, Sergey Nechayev wrote The Revolutionary Catechism. Lenin said of the Catechism, and other writings from Nechayev, that they would be mandatory reading in the new order to come.
The opening paragraphs capture the radical spirit that animated the early revolutionaries and Bolsheviks:
The revolutionary is a doomed man. He has no personal interests, no business affairs, no emotions, no attachments, no property, and no name. Everything in him is wholly absorbed in the single thought and the single passion for revolution.
The revolutionary knows that in the very depths of his being, not only in words but also in deeds, he has broken all the bonds which tie him to the social order and the civilized world with all its laws, moralities, and customs, and with all its generally accepted conventions. He is their implacable enemy, and if he continues to live with them it is only in order to destroy them more speedily.
The revolutionary despises all doctrines and refuses to accept the mundane sciences, leaving them for future generations. He knows only one science: the science of destruction. For this reason, but only for this reason, he will study mechanics, physics, chemistry, and perhaps medicine. But all day and all night he studies the vital science of human beings, their characteristics and circumstances, and all the phenomena of the present social order. The object is perpetually the same: the surest and quickest way of destroying the whole filthy order.
The person inspired by this seems similar to the most cliched caricature of a Swedish Death Metal fan. And yet, they truly are legion.
Endless similar pamphlets of the mid-19th and early 20th Century were widely distributed throughout Europe and were outlawed because they routinely called for rivers of blood and the necessary slaughter of the men, women, and children of the oppressive classes. They were direct, passionate, merciless, and unapologetic. Sound familiar?
The explicit instructions of how to create subversive revolutionary cells and larger organizations, complete with the discipline needed to govern them, was laid out in these publications as clearly as any U.S. Army instructional manual.
These were the books, writings, and often extended time spent with their authors that formed Lenin, and without exception, all of the early revolutionaries as they recall in their own writings. They were true believers and gave their lives and souls to the cause of the Ultimate Revolution.
Let There be Hell on Earth and Let it Begin with MeThere is not a thin dime’s difference in the murderous intent and zeal of the revolutionaries of the 1870-71 Paris Commune or the Bolsheviks in the years leading up to the 1917 Revolution and those of today.
The books being read now, from the intellectual class down to the wild-eyed denizens at the street level, are literally the same. Sure, they’ve been supplemented over the decades, but little truly new or awe-inspiring material has been added to their canon, a great deal of which regularly appears on the reading lists and curriculum in universities today. The lives and deeds of previous revolutionaries are reverenced. And for every new generation, the enemies of the revolution are recast as it is convenient to justify the never-ending call for perpetual revolt.
The genie was let out of the bottle. For two centuries, the call for violence in the name of having earthly paradise, justice, and peace grinds on. Again, those impossible goals are neither truly desired nor the beliefs sincerely held. From Lenin to Che Guevara to the filthy antifa pedophile, it is intoxicating and feels good to be the underdog revolutionary. It provides purpose and an excuse to indulge in personal and social depravity. These people bear the indelible mark of their master with little chance of recovery.
There is little parity in this fight. The most committed Southern Nationalist, patriot, or man of the Right can’t demonstrate his all-in commitment and point to his burned bridges and dedicated lifestyle as proof.
We have completely underestimated the personal allure to the total and complete liberating allegiance to answering Hell’s call for Ultimate Revolution.

James Perloff is journalist who wrote for The New American magazine for nearly three decades. He’s the author of “The Shadows of Power,” an exposé of the Council on Foreign Relations, two books about the evidence against Darwin’s theory of evolution, “The Case Against Darwin” and “Tornado in a Junkyard,” and a comprehensive primer on the New World Order called “Truth Is a Lonely Warrior” and the supplementary “Thirteen Pieces of the Jigsaw.” More recently Perloff published “COVID-19 and the Agendas to Come, Red-Pilled” and the brand-new “Missing Saints, Missing Miracles.” You can read the essays referenced in our conversation and a wealth of other truth-seeking material at JamesPerloff.net and follow him on Twitter and Gab.
Perloff and I discuss consolidation of power, some of the Founders’ foundational errors, the South and “The Lost Cause,” the Yankee Empire, ecumenism, godless infiltration within all forms of Christianity, as well as the beauty of Orthodoxy, Church history, post-biblical miracles, Saints, and silver linings. Sure, “Satan’s a long-term planner,” but there’s nothing that screws up his evil schemes better than people choosing the narrow path.

Nearly 30 years before Russians began bringing the Faith to Alaska and a century prior to the start of Orthodox immigration to these United States, Colonel Ludwell was received into the Orthodox Church in 1738, making him the first known Orthodox convert in North America. He is the namesake of the Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship, of which I’m a co-founding member, and one of the many cultural connections we see as making the South fertile ground for planting and growing Orthodox Christianity – a spiritual heritage that is open to all nations and peoples, even here in the West.

I am a nationalist. Until the day I die, I will always believe in the absolute right of unique peoples to establish themselves and enjoy the freedom of personal conscience to determine their own fate. As such, every day I dedicate myself to the cause of Southern Nationalism. This requires work and guidance. This also requires an understanding of the people whom you – the nationalist – seeks to serve. As contributors to a movement bigger than ourselves, we must find ourselves committed to continually perfecting and working toward a better message.
Often, in the study of nationalist movements, the issue is not finding the sentiment itself. It is convincing the people that they are worthy of independence from destructive and demeaning tethers. That takes work – something most people are incapable of doing. There must be an unrelenting commitment to your people. If you believe that your people deserve to be free, then you must be willing to work. Part of that work involves study. You do not elevate your people without elevating your mind.
The South is comprised of a unique people. It is not the “melting pot” that defines the North or the rest of these United States. The tragic post-war humiliation and impoverishment imposed on the South made migration to Dixie far less likely than other areas of the post-war era of the late-19th century. The lack of genetic invasion established a predominantly Anglo-Celtic nation within the territorial confines of the Union. In addition to this lack of migration, the South never embraced diversity for its own sake. Rather, Southerners further inculcated themselves by creating a parallel system of laws and societal norms between White and black.
This silo society enabled Southerners to reinforce their own cultural concepts and perspectives. Everything from the importance of Christianity to regional vernacular to cuisine to historical narratives and mythology were empowered to form the nexus of a unique ethnic identity: Southerners as a people. The more Southerners suffered, the more they turned toward themselves.
Understanding who Southerners “are” and what Dixie “is” must be at the epicenter of any campaign to inspire secession. Not all Southerners are the same, but there are broad characteristics that transcend the Mississippi River, the Appalachian Mountains, the Okefenokee Swamp, and the Tidewater Basin. This confluence of people share a unique history. That history, however, is not solely established within the War Between the States nor Reconstruction – as critical as those historical impacts may be. The Southern identity was germinating at the earliest foundation of the American colonies and the South itself, beginning with Jamestown settlement in 1607.
Consequently, the list I composed does not always focus on the mid-19th century. It focuses on other important elements, as well. I include the subject of Bacon’s Rebellion as an early harbinger of a unique form of Southern exceptionalism as it pertains to the need for responsive government and the right to revolt when that government violates the social compact. In addition, I include the written works of James Madison and John C. Calhoun, two men who capture the philosophical underpinnings of a young, vibrant, and different South. Finally, the reader of this list will notice a tragic deficiency: Southern perspectives on post-World War II desegregation. I was unable to find any easily accessible books that covered the subject substantively without extreme, anti-Southern bias. Perhaps this is a topic for a future book of my own.
As such, here is my reading list for dedicated Southern Nationalists in 2023. With the exception of Number One, the Bible, there is no specific order as to these great books that provide insight into a unique people. I am sure it can be bigger, and some great books may be missing from this list. There is always 2024 and I will happily take suggestions.
In the meantime, the South deserves to preserve her beautiful history, traditions, and culture. She deserves her freedom. These books should give you a glimpse as to “why.”
Deo Vindice!

Escalation is the logic of just about every problem we decry as rightwing dissidents. That’s how we’re now on mass death via experimental gene therapy and World War 3. None of us were warning about this insanity just a few years ago. It’s what makes the conflict in Ukraine so dangerous and relevant.
Zionist military debacles escalated across the Arab world into a final Saigon-style humiliation in Afghanistan. Literally the exact same people set up the situation in Ukraine, while these previous debacles were still in progress. This is unbeknownst to the general public. Despite all the lies and failures thus far, the average American will still be shocked at how this is going to end because these lies are really that outrageous.
What’s Russia’s endgame on the battlefield?It’s beginning to look pretty clear. Russia will finish securing what it deems necessary in the east and take the Black Sea coast and Odessa (heavily Russian) as well. Cutting off all sea access would make it much harder for the U.S. to ever facilitate another proxy war.
Additionally, a Korean-style DMZ will be imposed on a failed Ukranian rump state except this one will be 100 kilometers wide. It will protect the new areas of Russia from what remains of Ukraine because the West doesn’t see bombarding contested ground as an act of war. The Ukrainian government has deliberately killed thousands in these areas by shelling since 2014 and openly brags about it. They’d never be able to do that again and any missile launched would have plenty of time to be intercepted.
What’s clear to the Russians now is that no negotiation can take place that would be conducted in good faith. The Minsk Accords would have prevented all of this essentially by giving autonomy to the Russian regions of Ukraine. They were pushed by Germany and France who seemed credible to the Russians because they had zero security interests in Ukraine and catastrophic economic losses to suffer from a conflict.
Putin – about Merkel's words about cheating with the Minsk agreements:"To be honest, it was absolutely unexpected for me. It's disappointing. Trust almost dropped to 0. How to negotiate? About what? And is it possible to negotiate with them? Where are the guarantees? " pic.twitter.com/sQ8ti1xRUH
— AZ (@AZgeopolitics) December 9, 2022
As it turns out, they were lying their asses off at the behest of their master, Uncle Sam. Angela Merkel has recently come out and admitted that there was never any intention of honoring the agreements. The purpose was to buy time to prepare Ukraine for war. Thus, it would appear the Russians will impose a lasting solution by force. The demarcation described above would definitely do the trick.
Who’s assuring us that the Russians are losing?Just as the stakes are exponentially higher than previous conflicts, so is the level of official dishonesty, gas-lighting and projection. If you consume mainstream media, the expert analysis is driven by narratives put out mainly by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). The board includes the usual neocons like Bill Kristol and their lackeys such as General Petraeus. It’s run by the husband and in-laws of Victoria Nuland, who overthrew the Kiev government in 2014. From their site:
Dr. Kimberly Kagan founded ISW in May 2007, as U.S. forces undertook a daring new counterinsurgency strategy to reverse the grim security situation on the ground in Iraq . Frustrated with the prevailing lack of accurate information documenting developments on the ground in Iraq and the detrimental effect of biased reporting on policymakers, Dr. Kagan established ISW to provide real-time, independent, and open-source analysis of ongoing military operations….
These are the same people behind The Project for A New American Century, which made the case for the Iraq invasion. It was dissolved in 2006 after the endeavor turned into a nightmare and people started pointing out there was something peculiar about their background. Under this new brand, they pushed for a genius solution to salvage their Zionist plot, which turned into another spectacular failure. Noticing a pattern yet?
Get a load of this, he’s also on the board:
“In providing rigorous, non-partisan, and timely analysis, ISW plays a vital and valuable role in support of the critical missions our military is leading abroad.”
Senator Joseph Lieberman (ID-CT)
Projection is the axis of dishonesty for much of their propaganda. The military situation is no different than when they say we’re supremacists motivated by hate with genocidal ambitions. They always accuse you of being who they truly are and what they’re actually doing. That’s why they started this war eight years ago, and when it kicked into full swing, they started shrieking that Putin just started “a war of choice.”
At the same time, they kept asserting that the Russians would run out of munitions in a matter of days. Even the Secretary of Defense was parroting this Kagan canard. In reality, NATO has neither the stocks nor military industrial production capabilities to supply Ukraine much longer. The U.S. could sustain a conflict and prop up a puppet regime against 80,000 insurgents in Afghanistan but not a modern war on a scale unseen since 1945. Ukraine had an economy more than ten times that size. Nobody can afford to subsidize it wholesale for long.

Right.Measuring ProgressDoes taking ground represent victory? Usually yes, but not on open terrain devoid of strategic value. On the vast steppe, taking advantage of superior firepower and mobility to hit your enemy as he moves forward in vain attempt to strike you is a much smarter tactic.
The dumb thing would be to hold your ground and negate this decisive advantage. Ownership of the ground is decided later by your enemy’s defeat. This was a signature tactic of the Mongols. It works even better with pre-sighted heavy artillery. The Russians have been practicing this ever since the invasion of Phase One concluded.
Again, we see the projection where the ISW is saying that Russian conscripts are being slaughtered en masse in human wave attacks when this is what NATO is forcing Ukrainians to do in order to get headlines about the Russians retreating. The Russians aren’t even using conscripts. The recent 380,000 man mobilization came from volunteers and their version of the Individual Ready Reserve.
The Ukrainians have been sustaining horrific losses. EU President Ursula Von Der Leyn recently came out and gave a figure of 100,000 combat deaths. This comports with the 60,000 estimate that Defense Minister Shoigu gave back in September considering the fighting that’s taken place in the interim. The Russians have admitted to about a tenth of that, which sounds plausible if one understands their tactics.
Three or four wounded for one killed are often the ratios. So, there could easily be 400,000 casualties or higher since most of them are the result of artillery saturation. The Ukrainian army (navy and air force are basically wiped out) is in very bad shape. A heavily-conscripted force now has to be reinforced with thousands of mercenaries who don’t comprehend what they’re getting themselves into while orders are often enforced by the extremist units.
KhersonThe head of the operation, General Surovikin, has stated repeatedly that destroying the Ukrainian military is his primary objective. The Russians evacuated Kherson to avoid being trapped in a static fight with their backs to a river in the flood zone of a dam. They’d take unnecessary heavy casualties going head-to-head with everything NATO could send at them.
Prior to this decision, President Vucic of Serbia warned that NATO was going to turn the place into another Battle of Stalingrad. Days before Zelensky’s publicity stunt downtown, Russian forces, along with anyone who wished to leave, were pulled east, back across the Dnieper River. They even took the statues with them.
The West tries to market this as the result of yet another counter offensive that broke the Russian lines and forced them to flee with Ukrainian fire to their backs. This never happens. The line of contact between Russia and Ukraine is enormous. It could stretch from the Baltic coast of Germany to the bottom of the Italian peninsula. There’s no solid line, but often garrisoned points stretched far apart.
DonbassThis has been a highly fortified region since the Soviet era and NATO had eight years to turn it into an even bigger fun house. This Ukrainian version of the Maginot Line isn’t far outside of the city of Donetsk which is why the civilians there keep getting shelled. It’s difficult to make a dent in these defenses with artillery, and suicidal to rush them head on.
The heaviest fighting has been taking place here the entire time. These “counter offensives” for headlines to the north and south are mostly where most of the withdrawal plus artillery saturation battles are being fought on open ground. Besides Mariupol, whose capture connected the new republics with Crimea, the Russians have little imperative for urban combat unless it’s in Donbass.
Head of the #Wagner Group, Yevgeny #Prigozhin, commented the video: "As for the one who was killed with a sledgehammer, this show shows that he did not find happiness in #Ukraine, but met with unkind but fair people. I think this movie is called 'The dog deserves a dog's death'". pic.twitter.com/nWyVE4a2D5

It’s a reference to the opera drum. It’s absolutely brutal fighting. When you see news about Wagner Group using convict volunteers and crushing their skulls with sledgehammers for desertion, this is the place. Unlike soldiers, they aren’t allowed to surrender or retreat and are provided with two reserve grenades for that purpose. It’s a Russian tradition and a better deal than they got in WW2.
Bakhmut has been turned into a sort of Verdun for Ukraine, where even the Western media has to admit they’re suffering hundreds of casualties per day. They try balance this by claiming the Russians are taking the same but that’s doubtful due to the firepower differential. At some point, key nodes like Bakhmut in this interlocking defensive system will fall and the disintegration will pick up pace.
The Air WarIt would be expedient to flatten the defenses with bombers dropping massive thermobaric and bunker buster bombs. However, the Russians are extremely wary of what the Ukrainians have to the rear, principally S-300 batteries. They inherited hundreds of them from the Soviet Union. Thus far, air strikes on Ukraine are carried out by lofting, a technique in which fighters fly to the perceived edge of an AA zone, launch their ordnance and do a U-turn as they deploy flares. In Syria, U.S. and Israeli F-35s are stuck doing the same procedure thanks to these same Soviet systems.
The problem for Ukraine is that they can’t produce more and anything available from NATO has already been provided. They can’t produce more missiles for the systems, either. One objective of massive Russian cruise missile barrages is to drain the country of such AA missiles. That’s one reason why they’re accompanied by old ones without warheads used as decoys. The Russians might eventually become confident that Ukrainian AA has been mostly suppressed. They could then do what the Americans did to Iraq.
Humanitarian Catastrophe Russia has some serious constraints on how much of the Ukrainian energy grid it can knock out since a couple nuclear power plants are involved. Still, they can carry out regular strikes to make sure less than half the country has electricity at any given time. That means no reliable drinking water, no heating, and no flushing toilets – combine that with mass casualties returning from the front and afflicted with the aliments that brought death back home with soldiers from the trenches of the Great War. If you’re not familiar, it’s worth reading up on because that’s what Ukrainians are facing.
Whatever it is you do for a living, ponder how you could get by doing it if you only had electricity half the time or less. What if the dollar was inflating at 20% and you couldn’t exchange it for anything, anywhere? Considered in its totality, this is the foundation of a refugee crisis unseen since 1945.
The modern economy of Europe developed around a supply of cheap Russian energy and raw materials. It can’t function indefinitely without them, so now Europeans are facing situations where industries would have to be shut down and relocated to the U.S. (many are furious and say this is on purpose) and rolling blackouts endured. Many won’t be able to afford to heat their homes. Considering how bad the parasitical migrant situation has already become since 2015, do you think the borders will stay open?
What was the point of this nightmare?Here’s the gist: the Zionist grand strategy was to overthrow the government of Ukraine back in 2014 in order to foment a domestic conflict between the Ukrainian military and Russian proxy militias. With NATO’s backing, these breakaway militias would be crushed by a vastly superior national army. While the threat of sanctions would deter direct Russian intervention, its support for the militias would be used as justification for sanctions to collapse its economy. Once implemented, it was estimated this would happen almost overnight.

Then, the conflict and color revolutions would be moved into the Russian Federation as a means of overthrowing the Moscow government and breaking it up into controllable entities with 72 trillion in proven resources. That would make it much easier to strangle China and knock off client states of the duo, like Iran. Viola! Global domination is achieved, as promised in a certain evil text. Nothing but an asteroid could imperil human rights, freedom, and democracy ever again. This is vital to our national security, of course.
How it started/How it’s goingJust like all their other plans since the end of the Cold War, it’s backfired and they’ve got no feasible concept for getting it back on track. After Plan A failed, the new strategy was to back Ukraine as much as possible in the hope the Russian economy would eventually implode. That’s clearly failed as well. Russia is actually running a large budget surplus due to energy sanctions driving prices up. They lie about everything all the time. The only truth you can get out of them is through the projection. If they’re saying Ukraine can prevail in a conventional military conflict, that means they know there’s no way that could ever possibly happen.

These aren’t the tribe members who engaged skillful behind-the-scenes manipulation to instigate the Opium Wars, or the diabolical long-term chess game required to establish the state of Israel. They’re a bunch of hacks who are able to operate without the slightest accountability or mainstream criticism of who they are and what they’re doing. In other words, they’re just as evil, but far more reckless and incompetent. Their predecessors swindled sovereignty from their host populations, whereas they’re squandering it.
Ukraine was the center of the infestation. This part of the world is where these people came from (Kaganovich to Kagan, for example). If an Orthodox priest showed up to a meeting of the ISW and pulled out a crucifix, they’d probably recoil like vampires. Advancing their agenda by getting Slavs to slaughter each other is a delightful proposition. A pathological hatred and fear of Slavs is ingrained in them, perhaps genetically. Without this context, one can’t fully explain why they could do something this idiotic. The best anyone outside our media sphere can do is to call them neocons.
The End?There’s nothing in the history of Ukraine that shows them to be cowardly or incompetent soldiers. This tragic episode is no different. It’s likewise with the Russians. From an attrition perspective, things could grind on for a few more months. Perhaps Russia could use its mobilization to do something dramatic like cutting Kiev off from Poland to force a quicker end.
It could be that they don’t even want to get involved with the chaos that’s going to unfold in western Ukraine and the mobilization is to secure the Russian areas after everything falls apart, which would be a highly manpower-intensive task. In a war, the losing side is often able to hold things together until the moment it can’t. Hopefully, the slaughter and suffering ends as soon as possible. Or, maybe this spirals into the next World War.

Ever since the Great Recession and financial crisis of the late 2000s, the American economic model of building large suburban housing developments with cheap credit and sometimes even cheaper building materials and standards has been called into question. Setting aside all the jobs generated in construction, banking, and other financial intermediation, municipal governments also depend on growth for taxes to pay for not just future development, but often times previous build out phases that did not meet their financial projections. With recent examples of cities such as Jackson, Mississippi and Flint, Michigan failing to cover the maintenance costs of their municipal drinking water, this financial crisis has turned into a health crisis. Tonight, I am joined by returning guest Dark Enlightenment to examine just how widespread these problems are, and potential strategies for getting you and your family away from them.

What you are about to read beneath the fold is my Aug. 20, 2010 letter to now deceased (RIP, sir) Senator Tom Coburn (R. OK) one day after my son and I had attended his “TownHall” meeting in McAlester, OK along with approx. 100 other attendees. Not only did I send the letter to Senator Coburn’s Washington D.C. office via email, but I also posted it as an article that same day at my old blog, D. Webster’s Blogspot, here.
Keep in mind as you read that I was appealing to a few of Senator Coburn’s own biases in my letter, thereby attempting to subtly lead him out of the “error of his ways,” and closer to a correct interpretation of the U.S. Constitution as written. E.g. When I spoke in the first paragraph of the Constitutional Crisis that we were facing and its remedy, I was speaking to Senator Coburn’s sense of crisis he had revealed in his presentation to the group only a few minutes before I nabbed him in a hallway on his way out of the building. One thing Senator Coburn kept reiterating throughout his presentation was that, in his words, ‘we have about fifteen years left before this all collapses around us if we don’t do something now.’ That was twelve and a half years ago, so…
Our little meeting only lasted about ten minutes tops, which was all the time I needed to say to Senator Coburn what I had to say to him. I also had every intention to write to him about our conversation via email while the subject matter of our face-to-face conversation was still fresh to his mind. Also, keep in mind that our State’s immigration restriction bill had, only a few weeks before, been handed back to our legislature stripped of its muscle and sinews. What the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals told our legislators and the People of Oklahoma, as well as the legislatures and the People of surrounding States under that Court’s jurisdiction, is essentially that, ‘you may write, pass and enforce any legislation you like concerning illegal immigrants coming to or residing in your State; but what you may not do is interpret the Constitution correctly within the provisions of the law. So let it be written, so let it be done.’ You see, folks, “the appearance of the law must be upheld, especially when it’s being violated.”
Our legislature did its duty and appealed the 9th Circuit’s decision in that case, but a lot of us, including yours truly, knew way ahead of time that nothing would come of that appeals process. Noteworthy about the “Amendment Proposal” I wrote and introduced to Senator Coburn as an attachment to the letter, is that its sections deal with and contain all of the “muscle and sinew” of our State’s immigration law that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals had just extracted from it, handing us back the bare bones of a piece of legislation worth about as much, and able to stand on its own, as the paper it is written on.
I have copied and pasted the letter below as it was originally written, but have added a note below it, along with several links that did not appear in the original blog post for your further edification. There is no “constitutional remedy” to our situation at this date nor going forward; whether or not there was when I wrote that letter offering one to Senator Coburn is a debatable question, but I highly doubt it with the 20/20 vision hindsight, and additional wisdom gained, affords me. Anyway, I don’t wish for the introduction to go overly long, so, without further ado:
Dear Senator,
Amending the constitution is supposed to be the Peoples’ last resort method of solving serious constitutional issues before they become crises. A constitutional crisis exists whenever any part of the government simply ignores its provisions or refuses to obey them. Federal law does not necessarily trump State and local law regardless of whether the Congress “occupies a field,” and “intends a complete ouster.” And tacit acquiescence only matters while States are willing to simply “go along.” That is, if the constitution still means anything outside modern interpretation of the fourteenth amendment.
I personally find only one thing in the fourteenth amendment objectionable to myself. Namely the phrase [*]“subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” By this phrase every other constitutional principle preceding it is effectively declared null and void, with the possible exception of the thirteenth amendment. We still have the original constitution but its principles only mean something in context of the fourteenth amendment citizenship provisions. What portions of it that we still observe in American politics and outside that context are only done as a matter of convenience to the central government. If or whenever it decides to usurp State and local authority in those matters, it will do so through the federal courts via the fourteenth amendment citizenship clauses. Count on it. This is the way things are and have been done for many decades in American politics. And it will not change until an explicit and authentic act of the whole People alters the way the game is played because liberalism dominates our politics whether we like it or not.
Therefore, my idea for amending the constitution to clarify the intent of the fourteenth amendment is far from being the “stupid idea” you said it was when I mentioned it to you this past Thursday in McAlester. Closing the borders is all well and good and I certainly agree that that needs to be done. But has the loudness of our declamations resulted in sealing the borders? Has it stopped this talk about granting amnesty to the tens of millions of illegal immigrants already here? Has it forced attrition on any of them as yet? Has it done anything to solve this “birthright citizenship” for children of illegal immigrants issue? Keep in mind also that I’m not proposing repeal of the fourteenth amendment, only clarification of its intent for our generations.
But there’s a much bigger underlying principle you seem to be missing in all of this debate over State immigration laws, and etc. Ultimately it’s not about whether the federal government has neglected in the past, or will continue to neglect in the future, its responsibility to protect our borders. No; what this is all about at bottom is that the constitution reserves to the States and to the local governments power to control or regulate a host of items within their own borders, without federal intervention and at their own discretion. Immigration is one of these reserved powers. Several States, including Oklahoma and Arizona, have made worthy attempts in recent years at exercising their discretion in this immigration matter, but to no avail. Simply stated, their most effective efforts have been railroaded by the federal courts who invariably cite the fourteenth amendment citizenship and equal protection clauses as their just cause for usurping the rest of the constitution. This method cannot be allowed to continue much longer or our fate as a nation is already sealed. And if you think you can get the federal courts out of the business of doing this short of amending the constitution to prevent it, well, I think you’re very naïve about the power of the federal courts and the ability of anyone to pressure them into anything they don’t want to do. As long as the fourteenth amendment exists as the courts have interpreted it, and without clarification from the People, the federal judiciary is going to continue following this pathway of establishing an absolute federal tyranny over these States.
The personality that I am will not allow me to simply complain about a thing without offering a viable alternative to it. Below is my attempt at solving this veritable constitutional crisis before it gets out of hand (it may well already be out of hand) and we’re forced into a situation that none of us wants:
A proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to transform the meaning of the fourteenth amendment back to its original intent; to end government by judiciary; to reinvigorate the principles of the constitution as written; to reintroduce the doctrine of reserved powers and to end the practice of admitting to the rights of citizenship at birth persons born in the United States to foreigners illegally residing therein. We introduce this amendment proposal as a means to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, and to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.:
Section 1: The fourteenth amendment to this constitution shall not be construed by the United States or by any State to admit to the rights of citizenship, or subject them to their jurisdiction, children born to immigrant parents illegally residing within the United States, or subject to a foreign state, at the time of their birth. Persons born in the United States to alien parents temporarily and legally residing therein shall be subject to all terms and conditions, privileges and immunities, expressly provided for in their parents’ visas and the laws of the States wherein they reside. The United States retains the power to establish an uniform rule of naturalization, but no State shall be compelled by the United States to admit to the rights of citizenship, nor subject them to their jurisdiction, any person or persons involuntarily.
Section 2: No State shall be compelled to house, harbor, educate, provide food or medical services, grant safe passage to or otherwise assist immigrants illegally residing within its borders, nor to conform its laws affecting such residents to the laws of the United States except those made pursuant to the constitution and this article. The exercise of Powers reserved by the constitution to the States or to the People shall be left to their discretion. No reserved power shall transfer to the United States except by process of amendment, but the United States may exercise reserved powers upon application to and express consent of the legislature of the States wherein they propose to exercise them.
Section 3: The Congress is hereby suspended for the term of twenty years from further enacting laws affecting immigrants to the United States or to any State, and no form of amnesty for illegal immigrants shall be granted or recognized during the term of suspension. No State shall be compelled by existing U.S. law to receive immigrants of any race, color, nationality or kinship.
Section 4: Congress shall have power to enforce the terms of this article by appropriate legislation, but no construction of its provisions, or of the provisions of any other article of the constitution which shall be effective at the time of its adoption, shall ever be effective to establishing unconditional federal supremacy in law making, nor shall the provisions of this article affect the citizenship of persons born or naturalized within the United States prior to its adoption.
Section 5: The terms and conditions of this article are hereby exempted from judicial review.
While I certainly understand that issues will be raised with this proposal as written, it forms a good workable model for ending judicial and federal tyranny via the fourteenth amendment in our generation. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to leave them a free and balanced constitutional government to work with. What they do with it from there is, of course, up to them.
As I’ve barely skimmed the surface of how the federal government abuses the fourteenth amendment citizenship provisions to its own purposes, please engage me in further discussion on this matter at your convenience.
Respectfully,

[*] The so called “federal government” actually obeys the “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” stipulation of the first section of the 14th Amendment citizenship clause, although not in a way you might think, and certainly not in a way that has ever occurred to the likes of Eric Foner, et al. It obeys the provision through its “enrollment at birth” Social Security program, ensuring thereby that all children, or virtually all children, born in an American hospital become subject to full U.S. jurisdiction at birth, regardless of the citizenship status of their parents. This is also a convenient and highly effective way of simplifying and expediting the naturalization of their parents, thereby giving them full U.S. citizenship privileges and immunities, etc. That is why we call their American-born children “anchor babies.”

One of the things that plague me is constantly noticing people getting themselves into situations and then wondering to myself, “what were you people thinking?” – because the course of action they took could only lead somewhere bad. Somehow, that’s not what they calculated at the time. For example, this black family thought it was a good idea to visit a drive-thru zoo. It ended up being more traumatic than anything blacks would normally experience, like a mass shooting at a nightclub. I could’ve advised them that enjoying nature activities isn’t something that suits blacks, but the problem is that I’m not an expert.
When I tell you this black family at the drive thru zoo has given me a laugh from my SOUL. pic.twitter.com/oW4aBiwyBv

A vignette that encapsulates pure terror. Common sense is obvious unless someone has so much status and education that they become immune to it. Experts are the people dispensing the advice around here. In our terminal civilization, expertise constitutes an explicit rejection of common sense. Advocating for it qualifies one as an extremist or a peddler of conspiracy theories.
I’m plagued by a desire not to advise people what to do, but rather what not to do. There’s a big difference. Unfortunately, my only outlet is this humble publication and definitely not my personal life. If you’re reading it and you don’t work for the SPLC, well you probably know what not to do already. So, I’m really just doing this to vent.
A couple years ago, I mused about starting a consequences consulting business in order to make a living by saving naive white people from their idiotic ideas. The consequences keep coming but the cash flow has not. I’ve made my peace with it by acknowledging the fact that if I ever got a lot of contracts, my bank account would be taken away like Kanye West’s.
I guess the real game at this late stage isn’t preventing bad things from happening, but figuring out how you’re going to make your peace with the situation as it unfolds. Watching pretty much everyone I care about inject themselves with poison and consider me a paranoid nutjob for refusing really made that a personal imperative.
Here’s a situation to which you can probably relate: it’s a certain time of the month, requiring you to go buy your lady some pills. You notice the warning on the box which says that taking these things is bad for the liver. When you get back home, you apprise her of what you read on the box. Does this make any difference? No, of course not. All you accomplished was her irritation. I guess that’s life in general.
Common sense applies to everything and so any man capable of embracing it will offer much better advice than an expert on pretty much anything. For example, one doesn’t need a PhD in foreign affairs to warn the president that, because Russia is a critical energy exporter, starting a war with them will drive prices through the roof. Likewise, you don’t need to be a criminologist to know that blacks commit lots of crime, and so not policing them will increase this problem substantially.
There’s no esoteric knowledge required to be a dissident. You don’t need to discern some complicated teleology to explain events, either. There’s certainly quite a deep rabbit hole to go down, but the basics are right in front of us every day. However, you’ll simply have to accept that you’re not an expert; thus, normal people will have to experience what you can’t explain to them is going to be very unpleasant.

After his encounter with the Keeper of the Fire, on that cold October night, when that grey clad spector passed his torch to Gideon, Gideon’s thoughts became as tangled as a rubber band ball. In hindsight, that was exactly the way it should have been, with each rubber band representing part of a greater strategy to ignite the hearts of his people in an all consuming passion towards sovereignty. But the challenge, just as in untangling that ball, was determining where to start, which tug and pull would have the greatest impact.
It had been over a month, Thanksgiving had passed, Christmas and New Year’s Day were quickly approaching. Southerners would be spending much time with friends, family, and relations of every kind. They would be enjoying each other’s company over food, drink, football, and celebrations in their churches. That was the time and those were places to strike first.
Even for the most wayward of souls, church gatherings are the most impactful, for they are where we reconnect with those that have gone before us. What grandson doesn’t want to make his grandma happy this time of year, even if it means going to church services he has not attended since last Christmas? And who better to spark the fire in that man’s heart than those that wear the black robes. Holy men committed to fulfilling “thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven,” and making Dixie a permanent divine outpost.
Those that wear black robes are the most fraternal, most connected men in the South. They have connections that ride the tide of dispensations, from the oldest congregant to the freshly baptized infant, and have an impact over a vast diversity of backgrounds. The well-connected Southern pastor has networks deep inside the seminaries, local politics, and the business communities in which they minister. If they could be turned homeward, towards their own people, to disciple their nation, and be less telescopic in their mission, then perhaps the South had a chance.
Gideon was determined to spread the fire in which he had been entrusted, to as many sympathetic clergymen as he could.
He had strong and deep connections within that fraternal network, and though he only briefly wore the robe, he had maintained his connections by the providence of God, for this very moment, for such a time as this. With determined focus he moved to exploit his old connections in Virginia, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, and, of course, his beloved South Carolina. They were all Southern men, all good and godly, but without exception had been pacified into passivity, and to radicalize them would be a challenge.
His first focus were his Anglican relationships deep in the Low Country, and a particular bishop whose familial connections went back to the colonial days. One call set up the meeting that would take both to a place of sobriety, hallowed ground that evoked the patriotic fire inside every true South Carolinian, Old Sheldon Church. Burned by two oppressors of our people, the British during our War of Independence, and by the godless Sherman in our second. Gideon had no doubt this was the place to call his brother into the cause.
It was December 20th, Secession Day in South Carolina, the air was crisp, it was a lovely day. As the two men met, their first concerns were regarding the wellbeing of each other’s families. The last time they had seen each other was at the passing of the bishop’s father, a man Gideon had deeply admired, and who had been a second father to him after the passing of his own. They walked among the ruins, the graves, and remembered the beauty that had been built by their people, how it had been destroyed, rebuilt, and destroyed again. They both looked on in a certain sadness at the burned-out church and the bishop lamented, as it was analogous to the present state of so many congregations, so many communities – hollow shells of what used to be beautiful and vibrant.
The bishop looked at the ruins of the church again, and lowly began humming the tune to “We Marvel at Your Wondrous Word,” and then softly singing the words. Coming to the stanza “rebuild our ruins, restore our race” his voice cracked, and his eyes watered. He was remembering a conversation he had with Gideon’s wife. She had unintentionally, but gently, shamed him, asking if there were any Southern men willingly to fight for her children, not just her husband. He heard the sorrow in her voice, and saw the pain she felt for her husband, whom she seemed to think was almost alone. The bishop grabbed Gideon in brotherly embrace, and they wept together, it was a spiritual moment that needed no words of explanation.
Afterwards, the men sat down on a nearby bench and Gideon turned the conversation to the immediate. With the rise in conversations about Christian Nationalism, the disappointment over multiple elections, and the inquisition of good men over their love for the Church and their people by false brothers, both agreed there was no time to waste. The bishop would reach out to those brothers who he knew already leaned towards the cause, and he would exhort them to activity, for he knew in his heart complacency would win no victory.
Gideon moved to elicit other ministers in their circle of friends throughout all the various parts of the South. By the time of the first Lord’s Day of the new year, there was a deliberate strategy to collaborate and coordinate sermons and liturgy among all the congregations these men ministered: a lectionary focused on a Southern compliance to Christian repentance, revival, and a restoration of a sovereign Christ honoring nation in Dixie.
An uprising was occurring among those that wore the black robes, and the more they succeeded, the greater the fire spread.
Deo Vindice!
God save the South!

In response to an article about the Southern holocaust that occurred during the so-called “Civil War,” I wish to bring forth testimony from a Southern hero who was shunned by the South – or most of it – after he went with Grant in 1872 and Hayes in 1876, finally becoming a member of the Republican Party in that year. Previously, Col. John Singleton Mosby had been a Conservative in Virginia, the name by which the Democratic Party was known in that State. However, this was a vast change from his politics before the war as Mosby’s whole family had been Henry Clay Whigs making him, politically, closer to Abraham Lincoln than Jefferson Davis. Indeed, Mosby blamed the Democratic Party for the election of Lincoln and the resultant secession crisis because the Democrats had fielded two candidates, one aligned with the South and the other a “unionist.” This situation had split that party’s vote and resulted in Lincoln’s victory, though he received no votes from the South as the Republican Party was purely sectional and did not appear on any Southern ballot.
Colonel John Mosby was perhaps the greatest partisan warrior in American history and was considered a hero in Virginia and the South during and immediately after the war. Mosby hated slavery, though he himself owned slaves and came from a slave holding family. He blamed “the peculiar institution” for the war; he also had strongly rejected secession believing that there were other remedies available to the South for their problems. Nonetheless, when Virginia “went out,” Mosby went with his State, rising from a mere private of cavalry to a man of legendary status who was so hated by the Yankees that Stanton revoked the parole offered to him by Grant and declared him an outlaw after Appomattox. Eventually, Grant stepped in and reinstated his parole, and later personally protected him from the harassment he constantly suffered directly after the war. As a result, Mosby felt personal gratitude for Grant’s actions to himself and “sectional gratitude” for his courtesy toward his defeated foes.
In 1872, Mosby chose to support Grant in his bid for a second term when he was challenged by radical Republican Horace Greeley then running as a Democrat! As a result of Mosby’s efforts, Grant carried Virginia and through the years the two became affectionate friends. In his memoirs, Grant’s admiration for the little warrior-lawyer was unmistakable and, indeed, the last thing the then dying former President did just before his death was arrange for Mosby to obtain employment with the Southern Pacific Railroad because he had been so utterly rejected in the South for his attempts at national reconciliation and in the North for his efforts during the war that he was virtually unemployable! At that time, John Mosby truly was a man without a country.
Mosby believed – and stated! – that it would be best if both sides of the conflict “consigned all wrongs, real and imagined, to oblivion” so that there could be national healing. And for that reason, though he did write and speak extensively about the war, he said very little about the atrocities committed against the South and her people. But finally, after years of remaining silent about that which he had personally witnessed in Virginia – and especially in the Shenandoah Valley in 1864 – Mosby realized that he could no longer accept not just the actions of the United States military but the false “history” of the matter being presented to the American people, North and South.
In a lengthy article in The Richmond Times on February 10th, 1895, entitled “Sheridan’s Difficulties,” the headline stated: “Colonel John S. Mosby Tells of the Pure Wantonness of the Federal Commanders.” Using the communiqués among the Federal high command regarding the orders given to Sheridan by Grant to rebuild the Manassas Gap railroad as a supply line for Sheridan to use to maneuver to Grant at Petersburg, Mosby revealed the atrocities that were committed in that effort, atrocities that became decidedly worse after Mosby had prevented the rebuilding of the road at Lee’s command. Had he not been able to do so – alone and without any other Confederate forces – Richmond would have fallen in October of 1864. However, his successful and entirely legitimate efforts were later used as an excuse by the Federals for the devastation of the Shenandoah Valley and other areas in Northern Virginia.
In his article, Mosby produced proof that his efforts against the railroad – ordered by Gen. Lee – resulted in the adoption of “The Washburn Plan,” a strategy initiated in July of 1864 by General Cadwallader Washburn, commander of the Department of West Tennessee as a means to deter Confederates from firing into his trains. Washburn ordered the arrest of forty “of the most prominent and bitter secessionists,” twenty of whom would then each day be placed on each of the trains that departed Memphis “in the most conspicuous positions, one being placed on each side of the engineer.” Mosby’s source for this information was an article carried in the July 12th Philadelphia Inquirer under the headline, “General Washburn’s Plan for Protecting Railroads Against Guerrillas.” About this “strategy” – considered a war crime by the Federal’s own General Order 100, also known as the Lieber Code – Mosby stated:
“Halleck, the same Halleck who wrote a book on the laws of war, replied: ‘Your plan of putting prominent citizens on trains is approved and you will carry it into effect. They should be so confined as to render escape impossible and yet be exposed to the fire of the enemy.’”*
[Halleck’s book included General Order 12 which declared that attacks on non-combatants was coming into disuse among civilized nations*.
Mosby then pointed out:
“In other words, his soldiers should be protected by putting non-combatant citizens between them and my men. In the fiercest heat of war, no enemy ever accused me of doing such a thing. It was just the same as if Grant had arrested a lot of Virginia men, women and children and placed them in front of his lines to keep the Confederates from firing at them. This was a purely military road; it was as legitimate war to prevent the rebuilding of it, or to pull up the track and destroy the trains as to fire artillery at the soldiers. These are the risks soldiers must run. I would be willing to submit, not only this question of the ethics of war, but of my military operations to the board of professors at West Point.”
In their rage over not being able to get the railroad “up and running,” Halleck wrote to Superintendent McCallum:
“The Secretary of War directs that in retaliation for the murderous act of guerilla bands composed of and assisted by the inhabitants along the Manassas Gap Railroad, and as a measure necessary to keep that road in running order, you proceed to destroy every house within five miles of the road which is not required for our own purposes, and which is not occupied by persons known to be friendly. The women and children will be assisted in going north or south, as they may select.”
To this, Mosby added as a postscript in his article: “The people whose houses were ordered to be burned were no more responsible for my acts than Mr. Lincoln. J. S. M.”
A movement of troops, even to stripping all of the guards on the Potomac and sending them to the Manassas Gap, as well as the further movement of large bodies of cavalry designed to drive Mosby south resulted in the opposite: the wily guerrilla commander moved north. In response to this unexpected outcome, Mosby then pointed out:
“Halleck had written a book on The Art of War, and as he had laid down no such rule in a case of that sort (that is, that Mosby should do the opposite of what his stratagems were designed to bring about), he considered it (Mosby’s response) a violation of all the usages of war**.”
Obviously, much of the cry of “foul” raised by the Union regarding John Mosby’s actions in the war were directed not at any alleged atrocities, but rather, because he refused to follow their well-conceived stratagems and thus frequently made them look foolish and as a result, defeating their plans.
The article proceeds to cover Mosby’s clear and concise evaluation of Sheridan’s Valley Campaign, in which he points out with facts and figures that it did nothing to hasten the fall of Richmond and that Sheridan’s “reputation” was more a matter of good press than any actual military genius. Indeed, of the struggle between Sheridan and Early, Mosby noted:
“…If Sheridan and Early had fought no battles in September and October the conditions would not have been materially changed from what they were in December. General Sheridan has described with much detail the devastation of the country he occupied, where he exhibited to the world the spectacle of “the strength of civilization without its mercy.” (Gen. David) Hunter had already damaged the Valley. He left before his work was complete. But he carried off the statue of Washington from the college he endowed, and showed less sensibility than Alaric when he confronted the image of Pallas Athene [].*
[Here, he was making historical note of a barbarian who refrained from destroying a statue of Athena, goddess of Wisdom because he perceived its intrinsic beauty and value and was moved to protect it on that basis. On the other hand, “Black Dave” Hunter was not sufficiently elevated to refrain from stealing a statue of Washington from a center of learning. Hunter, a Virginian by birth, eventually, as Mosby pointed out, “closed his life a suicide*.”]
Mosby then went on to codify the “rules of war” that had been in force since the Enlightenment for it was a damnable lie that the so-called Lieber Code was the first effort to produce laws pertaining to the civilized execution of warfare:
“It may be conceded that the destruction of provisions, and whatever immediately contributes to the support of an army, is allowable to an enemy. But it is a fundamental principle “that nothing is allowable against an enemy but what is necessary, and nothing is necessary which does not tend to procure victory and bring the war to a conclusion.”
It is at this point he makes his case against Sheridan and the Union Army, accusing them of “pure wantonness” in the prosecution of the war:
“After destroying all the wheat and corn in a country, to burn mills where there is nothing to grind is pure wantonness. All the barns were burned no matter whether there was forage in them or they were empty. The destruction of implements of husbandry to prevent the planting of crops simply because there is a possibility of their being useful to an enemy, can no more be justified than killing defenseless women and children. It is true that there is a chance that the crops that are allowed to be sown may be useful to the enemy; and it is equally true that if the war lasts long enough, as did the Thirty Years’ War, children may grow up, and women may become the mothers of soldiers. The injury inflicted is certain and permanent. There is only a possibility of its weakening the resources of the enemy; the benefit is too remote and contingent. The war did in fact, close before another crop could have been reaped in the Shenandoah Valley.
“All damage, therefore, which is done to an enemy without any corresponding advantage accruing to the belligerent is an abuse of a natural right of the latter. Thus, indeed, a belligerent is entitled to capture all the property of an enemy which is calculated to enable him the better to carry on hostilities, and if he cannot carry it away conveniently, to destroy it. A belligerent, for example, may destroy all existing stores of provisions and forage, which he cannot conveniently carry away, and may even destroy the standing crops, in order to deprive his enemy of immediate subsistence, and so reduce him to surrender. But a belligerent will not be justified in cutting the olive trees and rooting up the vines; for that is to inflict desolation upon a country for many years to come, and the belligerent cannot derive any corresponding advantage therefrom. When the French armies desolated with fire and sword the Palatinate in 1674 and again in 1689, there was a general outcry throughout Europe against such a mode of carrying on war; and when the French Minister, Louvol, alleged that the object in view was to cover the French frontier against invasion from the enemy, the advantage which France derived from the act was universally held to be inadequate to the suffering inflicted, and the act itself to be, therefore, unjustifiable.
“A belligerent prince who should, in the present day, without necessity, ravage an enemy’s country with fire and sword, and render it uninhabitable, in order to make it serve as a barrier against the advance of the enemy, would be justly regarded as a modern Attila.”
Thus did John Singleton Mosby clearly identify the atrocious methods of warfare conducted in his theater of action, Northern Virginia. In the article he wrote, Mosby judged the actions of his enemies by the standards of what belligerents were permitted (and not permitted) do in a civilized society in the waging of warfare. And, in fact, much of what Mosby dealt with in Virginia relates directly to that situation. However, all through the war, he witnessed – albeit to a much lesser degree than in other areas of the South – wantonness with regard to the treatment of civilians and even Southern soldiers by the enemy. His own need to retaliate for the willful murder of seven of his men proved that the behavior of the Union Army virtually from the first shots fired was altogether contrary to the carefully constructed “rules of warfare” that were in use by modern civilized states at that time. It is ironic that efforts to hang Mosby during and even after the war were predicated on what the Union called his “crimes and depredations.”
The use of John Mosby as the witness in this case is particularly potent because of Mosby’s post-war attempts throughout his long life – he died at age 82 in 1916! – to foster true reconciliation and reunion between the warring sections. That a man who had sacrificed so much personally in that attempt to finally have to admit that the United States had indulged – and probably would continue to indulge – in warfare unbefitting a civilized nation is a far more potent testimony to these atrocities than would have been the case with an “unreconstructed” former Confederate of the likes say, of General Jubal Early who despised Mosby because of his efforts to bring about an end to the sectional strife. Mosby ended his article with the following statement which was true then and remains so:
“In his Memoirs General Sheridan repudiates the humane maxims of Grotius and Vattel, and lays down an ethical code for the government of armies in war that abolishes all distinctions heretofore recognized between combatant and noncombatant enemies. If the United States should adopt it, then Napoleon’s saying, “Scratch a Russian (and) you will find a Tarter,” will not apply alone to the subjects of the Czar. In contrast with these pitiless doctrines that suggest the picture of the Infernal Court and “The iron tears that rain down Pluto’s cheek,” are the humane rules of international law as expounded by Professor Twiss, of Oxford, in his work on Rights and Duties in Time of War.”*
[*authors of books on the laws of war used at West Point and other military academies long before Dr. Lieber’s work.]
It is one of those interesting paradoxes that John Mosby was accused throughout – and after – the war of crimes against humanity and his life forfeit had he been captured during the conflict itself. Indeed, for several years after the war, efforts were ongoing by the Federal Government and others to bring Mosby “to justice” by virtue of imprisonment or execution. Yet, for a period of almost thirty years after the guns fell silent, the man said little or nothing about the events he had witnessed because he truly wished for reconciliation between the sections and believed that the endless recounting of evils prevented that desired consequence. Finally, however, he could not fail to see that keeping silent about what had happened that he, himself, had witnessed only encouraged a type of warfare that had devastated the South and was continued on in the Plains Indian Wars that followed after Reconstruction. Unfortunately, even Mosby’s unchallenged testimony was not enough to change the narrative; that is, that today, the South remains the villain in an illegal and treasonous war waged upon it by its own government and fellow countrymen. It would seem that we are all still waiting for justice including this true hero of the South who must wait with his fellow heroes beyond the Great River.

But think! – Think of that goddess standing on her pedestal…holding her torch out to those Russian refugees.
Constance Cary Harrison to Emma Lazarus
By no means am I a poet, and I know it. Nor do I aspire to be one. But I can rearrange and reword the work of others readily enough and in such a way as to make it more palatable to my own tastes. See here, for example. Neither am I particularly impressed by the poetry of the likes of Emma Lazarus; not, at least, that of hers which has graced the pedestal of “Lady Liberty” – first inside, now outside – since 1903. Honestly, I know nothing of Miss Lazarus’s literary or poetic works otherwise, nor do I believe I much care to. Judging by the girlish silliness of “The New Colossus,” serious doubts arise to my mind that any of the rest is particularly good or “awe-inspiring.” Or sane, for that matter. Albeit that obituaries upon her death apparently praised her as having been “an American poet of uncommon talent.” One may well consider the source(s) of course.
Be that as it may, or as it might have been, beneath the fold is my re-write of Miss Lazarus’s most well known and most famous sonnet; perhaps not her best work, as she apparently had to be coerced into writing it against her better instincts (see my epigraph at the top of the page), but nevertheless the only piece of hers that virtually anyone living has ever heard of or knows anything about.
“A New Colossus for a Free Dixie”Unlike the giant robed lady of Ellis Island fame,
Welcoming hordes from lands both near and far;
Here at our sea-washed, sunlit gates shall stand
A mighty sentinel with double-edged sword in hand,
Whose flame is the bolt of lightning, and his name –
Rejector of Exiles.
His sworded-hand Bids solemn warning to all the world;
Fierce eyes and mighty count’nance doth command
The Gulf and eastern Ports of coastal Southern waters
Protector of his people against invasion of their land.
“Preserve, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” shouts he,
Thund’rous voice echoing to the corners of all the world:
“Keep your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Keep these, the homeless, tempest-tost to thee.
I raise my sword to guard the Narrow Door,
Lest there be no more of me. As There no more is she.”
With apologies to Miss Lazarus, etc.

Of all the dissident rightwing memes, the NPC is perhaps the most effective. In case you’re not a gamer, this refers to a non-player character controlled by the game. Of all the real people suffering from this incurable condition, in actors it tends to be the most severe. This shouldn’t be a surprise, as they were reviled throughout the ancient world. For instance, the Romans deemed them to have no greater moral standing than whores.
One of the big things they were into before our societal collapse got into full swing was the Sudan. It was a way for them to bring their self-righteousness to bear on something that made themselves feel like heroes. George Clooney even got himself arrested in front of their embassy in DC in order to make a big spectacle out of himself. It was something I simply didn’t care about due to the implications. NPC behavior didn’t strike me as a threat to humanity’s survival until it was channeled into fervor for poison injections and World War 3.
There was a particularly funny outbreak of this in which an American who talks like a gay but swears he’s just “very theatrical” produced a viral video about a guy from Uganda named Joseph Kony, who was apparently the leader of something called “The Lord’s Resistance Army.” I remember being very disconcerted when I learned of its existence. This is simply the greatest name ever for an insurgency, and now it was already taken.
Basically, the video was about how everyone should get these stickers, join this social media campaign, and share this video so we can save Africans from Kony. It was ironic because he doesn’t even seem to be that bad by their standards. Rape, torture, cannibalism, marauding – these are behaviors that anybody south of the Sahara might engage in at the drop of a hat. Anyway, as everything was taking off, the not-gay-guy had a psychotic breakdown, stripped naked, and began thrashing around and masturbating on a California street corner. They tossed him in the loony bin and the campaign petered out in the aftermath.
The whole debacle was hilarious, and it seemed especially so since over 100 million NPCs got roped in. That was my take on global warming as well since it was laughably idiotic but still suckered in all these NPCs who harbored pretensions of moral and intellectual sophistication. Like I said, I was rather naive about the danger posed by these creatures along with the utterly nefarious plans of the people who’ve harnessed them. However, time cures all things and hope receives no exemption.
There are a number of ways to identify NPCs, all of which would be taught in a comprehensive course to my societal cleansing squads (if I was to become supreme dictator). But, I’m not big on the aforementioned hope thing, so I’ll point out one for today: NPCs will mark themselves. They think it’s to display their moral and intellectual sophistication but actually it’s to show you they’re an NPC.
For example, if someone is wearing a Ukraine flag pin or has it on their social media profile. If they’re Ukrainian, that’s certainly one thing. Also, if they’re Polish with a blind hatred of Russia motivating their support, they also might not be an NPC. Everybody else, yep.
I’m aware that many from our community are more optimistic than myself and wonder if successful interventions are possible for an NPC. Maybe electroshock therapy.

(Note: By “National Viability” in the post title, I am not referring to the late, great United States. Which of course, as we all know all too well, is already dead, or at least in its final death throes.)
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned here before, at least in passing, Carlos Cipolla’s essay titled “The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity.” The first time I read the essay was approximately fifteen years ago, and it came to me as a recommendation from what some of you might think of as the most unlikely of sources. Namely, our eldest son, who was (then) only twenty years-old. Most twenty year-old young men, as y’all know, tend to have their heads stuck straight up their hindparts and only care about partying and chasing women, fast cars and stuff like that. In other words of “sewing their wild oats.” But our son has always been at least semi-exceptional in that respect; he was certainly heads above where his father was at that tender, transitional age between late-stage adolescence and full manhood.
For those of you who have not as yet read it, I highly recommend Mr. Cipolla’s essay. For some of you, like my younger self fifteen years ago, it will serve to confirm much of what you’ve already figured out about human nature and human stupidity but have heretofore not been able to articulate very well or very satisfactorily. For others of you, it will serve to provide credible witness to what might otherwise seem incredible and counter-intuitive, given our typical biases about education and its ability to (unilaterally) make smarter people, wiser people, more moral people, better citizens and all that. None of which is necessarily true, but that is a subject for a different article. In any case, once you’ve read the essay, you will have it in your repertoire to which to refer in explanation of why otherwise apparently intelligent people so often conduct themselves and act in such incredibly stupid ways. Or at least to explain why you should not be surprised by this when you witness it in action.
The bottom line of Cipolla’s essay is that societies cannot function well and will ultimately collapse under their own weight if not by some other means when the stupid people of the society(s) in question – who always and invariably make up a greater proportion of the population than anyone can ever accurately predict (see the 1st Law) – are allowed political power and influence. The “universal franchise” is a prime example of what Cipolla means by this; and we all know that the U.S. Capitol probably contains the greatest concentration of truly and irredeemably stupid people the world has ever seen. How did they get there? They were elected or appointed of course. By whom? By people who are equally as stupid, if not in fact moreso, than they themselves. Note that I did not say Congress is inhabited by “uneducated” people, but by stupid people. Educated people and stupid people are not necessarily mutually exclusive categories. See Cipolla’s 2nd Law for a fuller explanation of why this is, always has been, and ever shall be. Dr. Dabney wrote a lot about this as well. Read him.
I hope you will read Mr. Cipolla’s essay attentively and will glean some important insights from it, dear reader. I said above that I have likely mentioned it here before in passing at least, but I’m not at all sure I’ve ever provided a link to it in those “honorable mentions.” I’ve certainly never written a blog post about it, at least not here at Identity Dixie. Until now. However it comes that we Southerners form our own independent and viable nation sometime in (hopefully) the not-too-distant future, one thing we will simply have to take into consideration and strictly account for is the problem of human stupidity and its ability to destroy a nation when allowed to wriggle its way into positions of power and influence. There can be no “universal franchise” in a Free Dixie, for example. And etc.
God Bless y’all, and God save the South!

The following passage is an excerpt from the book A Walk in the Park: My Charlottesville Story.
In 2017, “antifa” was not a well-known term. By 2020, it was a household name. The decision of the Department of Justice to allow the antifa to violently assail ideological opponents, destroy businesses, damage private businesses, and as Andy Ngo has reported, even kill people, began to peel layers off the onion. “Normies” (individuals generally unassociated with any Far-Left or Right ideological spectrum) began to curse antifa. The year 2020 was great for us.
The more normie Americans saw the extreme violence perpetrated by the Left in the name of “racial justice,” the more they began to awaken. For many with civic nationalist, non-racialist views, their unfortunate trust in Donald Trump and the Constitution led them to act. In essence, 2017 was the beginning of an internal color revolution that was allowed to proceed for three years unabated. Once the American regime rid themselves of Trump and his most ardent supporters, they closed the lid. Antifa was clearly an extension of the U.S. government and the American people saw it.
Today, thanks to the excesses of censorship, the suppression of dissent, the violence of 2020, the total collapse of trust in the mainstream media, Covid lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and the overreaction to January 6th, the participants of UTR are no longer universally viewed as the bad guys they were in 2017. To be sure, there are still terrified normies who would never openly admit that they sympathize with the beliefs of the participants. However, there is a reason that Gab makes its donation numbers month after month, and continues to grow, despite no presence on an app store.
Our beliefs are more popular than ever before. That is especially true of those who support the balkanization of the United States. Secession is statistically supported by more than 60% of Republicans in the South based on the most recent polling. There is no federal political solution to the leftist trajectory and collapse of the United States. So, what is next? Recognizing and operating within a new strategic paradigm, using different tactics to achieve tangible results.
UTR taught us that the Dissident Right cannot openly protest and assume the government – whether it is local or federal – will allow such a protest. The government does not need to overtly suppress dissidents. They can simply send the antifa to do its dirty work. Much like censorship, the government has learned that it can outsource its suppression by means of non-governmental actors. When the government wants to silence dissent – such as questioning the origins of Covid – it engages smartphone platform companies (Apple and Google) to compel social media companies to censor or ban dissenting thought. This was always suspected, but it was recently confirmed by the new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk.
Cumulatively, it is apparent that the United States is no longer a free country. The government can suppress thought at will. Those who do not agree with the government’s approved mantra can be silenced, violently assaulted, deplatformed, lose their employment, and even arrested. Dissidents need to accept this reality and operate within this new framework.
It is not enough, however, to complain. Action is needed. That requires work.
To begin, committed dissidents need to produce thought provoking content that avoids government censorship. Working within the barriers of language constraints and exploiting free speech platforms like Gab to maximum effect are critical to the success of the movement. The needle is moving in our ideological favor. It is time to double down in ways that amplify our messaging without spooking the uninitiated. As the official government narratives collapse, it is important to replace those narratives with emotional and logical arguments that fill the void.
Second, belonging to organizations is important, but action needs to be disaggregated and seemingly organic. The U.S. government can target groups more easily than it can target that which appears to be a multitude of activated individuals. We saw this with the school curriculum protests. Angry parents directly attacked and changed school boards throughout the country over educational content they found objectionable. Consider the following lessons from that experience and how they can be applied to a revitalized Dissident Right or secession advocates.
When the National School Boards Association (NSBA) asked the Biden Administration to treat concerned parents as terrorists, it is important to remember how the government reacted. Attorney General Merrick Garland agreed with them and began to work toward the suppression of those parents. That did not end due to any reconsideration on the part of the Department of Justice. Rather, public outcry was inspired by the use of Gab and Telegram to share information with elected opposition officials (Republicans), who shared the memos with Fox News, especially Tucker Carlson. This forced the DOJ to step back, but they did not necessarily stop. The government simply changed the mechanism of suppression.
Shortly after the NSBA fiasco, the Department of Homeland Security created the Disinformation Governance Board. Recognizing that the democratization of information leads to unacceptable outcomes, the Biden Administration attempted to use the DHS to suppress speech. The attempt was immediately weaponized by the opposition party to harm the incumbent. What happened?
There is very little true opposition within Washington, D.C. The Republican and Democrat parties are interchangeable on nearly every policy level, with minor differences related to “how” not “what” to achieve. One thing that divides the two parties, however, is a personal desire for power. California Congressman, Kevin McCarthy, wants to be the Speaker of the House. California Congresswoman, Nancy Pelosi, wants to be the Speaker of the House (although, no longer). The parties and individuals who elevate them are rewarded with power. With power comes money and influence. They are driven by self-serving needs.
When those self-serving individuals saw a seemingly organic movement of parents protesting against educational programs with which they disagreed, those self-serving individuals worked to ensure they were protected. It harmed their opponents. Politics is literally a “Law of the Jungle” operating environment, whereby power and self-interest rules. None of them actually care about the parents or the cause. They care about themselves. The parents became a useful weapon.
Note, very few politicians actually addressed the issues those parents found objectionable. With the exception of a handful of outspoken U.S. representatives and only one governor, Ron DeSantis, Critical Race Theory – as an example – was not addressed. But the self-serving actors protected the parents from being considered designated terrorists and ensured communication lines remained open. The Dissident Right needs to learn from this example.
Our views are becoming more acceptable. No one at the top of power will ever openly accept or admit racialist views, per se. They will not question the Holocaust. They are highly unlikely to embrace secession. They can, however, be made to assist our goals at a more easily digestible level, which is important. They can be made to protect Confederate monuments, defend free speech, address issues related to illegal immigration, and/or defend white people from systemic racism, if they feel that those who seek these outcomes are normal citizens that are simply fed up. In other words, exploit their self-serving impulses at the micro-level (school boards, town councils, etc.) to achieve minor but important gains.
Make it feel organic. Make it look organic. Organize without association. Press for simple, achievable goals that accumulate into bigger, dissident victories.
The Dissident Right no longer believes in any political outcomes. I agree with their outlook as it pertains to the federal government, but I disagree with abandoning political solutions entirely. The Dissident Right, more than any other philosophical movement, should understand human nature. Democratic-Republics are driven by the exploitation of human nature. The Left is excellent at exploiting human nature. They intuitively understand how to label a given position and make it seemingly acceptable or unacceptable to take that position, such that the consequences of taking a countervailing position becomes a threat to the elected officials continued power. Let me provide some examples.
The Dissident Right is highly impatient. There are good reasons for this impatience. First, it is a relatively young movement. Although some of us are older, most of those joining the ranks are young people who are tired of being abused for the “crimes” of being white, Christian, and heterosexual. They are justifiably angry. Every day they are fed a steady stream of anti-white and anti-Christian hatred. Academics and media personalities can literally call for the execution of the white race with impunity. This feeds our movement. These young adherents want to do what all young men have wanted to do since the dawn of time when they feel attacked: they want to fight back. As older dissidents, it is our obligation to use that to our advantage, but also manage it.
There is a reason that commanding officers within the military are older. Their experiences and maturity make better decisions. Young soldiers are hungry to kill the enemy on the field of battle. But such an impulse often leads to death. Thus, seasoned commanders enforce discipline within the ranks and guide their soldiers to make better tactical moves for the purpose of attaining strategic goals. As they grow in their maturity and reasoning, sharing those strategic goals becomes important.
Unite the Right was, in so many ways, the young Dissident Right – going half-cocked across the field of battle, unaware that the rules changed. UTR was not wrong; how we executed UTR was. The Dissident Right ran into preset machine gun nests in the form of an organized and sanctioned leftist resistance. It was the Right’s Battle of the Frontiers – a short-term loss. There is no reason to repeat that which we learned cannot work. We can win the long-term war. It is time to do so in a smarter way. Pick up your mantle and make it happen.

The post A Strategy for Dissidents appeared first on Identity Dixie.
It is not an accident that the most populous social media environments have significant restrictions on free speech. Permanent bans of outspoken rightwing commentators have occurred since well before January 6th. The weaponization of app stores on phone platforms was used in an attempt to silence Gab. But it is important to understand what is happening to speech itself to lend context to the trend of large tech monopolies suppressing dissent on their digital town squares.
Social media did something extraordinary when it emerged at nearly the same time as the smartphone. It truly democratized thought. It empowered the masses to share ideas across a spectrum of individuals who either harbored similar thoughts or never considered those thoughts at all. This immediately challenged the ruling classes, who had a monopoly on social and political narratives that were spoon fed by news outlets, entertainment companies, etc. In essence, suddenly and without warning, “The People” began to listen to one another versus the approved messaging. The 2016 election of Donald Trump was a byproduct of this phenomenon. It also contributed to a severe and desperate reaction by global power brokers, especially those on the political Left.
For years the political Left has argued internally – especially in academia – that speech is inherently violent. Whereas most of us were raised not to fear words, they actually fear them. They claim words lead to uncontrolled consequences. Questioning the Holocaust, for example, is immediately antisemitic, even though the questions may be reasonable and devoid of any particular anti-Jewish animus. They ascribe any violence committed against the Jewish community to be an outgrowth of questioning approved narratives. The same goes for homosexuality, transgenderism, and racial differences in criminal statistics, as examples.
This newly defined interpretation of speech has since been exploited by a global ruling elite that needed to obliterate the democratization of thought. In essence, by making unapproved speech “violence,” they attempted to put the genie back in the bottle. Since they cannot un-invent Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., they needed to ensure that the democratized thought process was either co-opted by those venues – under the pretext of amorphous “hate” speech rules – or silenced all together – as they did to Parler and attempted with Gab.
The problem they now face is that the suppression is so blatantly obvious, because many of the leftist foot soldiers who subscribed to the new definition of speech control the definition of “hate” itself. What likely began as a means to curtail conversations about the efficacy of vaccines or the truth about wars has now become a bludgeon to ensure societal changes that run directly contrary to the majority of the people. Castrating children, for example, is now a fundamental right, instead of child abuse. Ruling elites never likely wanted this to happen, but the train went off the tracks and they are no longer fully in control. This threatens their very order, unless more compliant masses can be introduced to the West.
The Left is correct that speech is a weapon. They are incorrect that it is inherently dangerous to all. Rather, speech has the ability to move the mindset of ordinary citizens and inspire incredible acts. Thus, speech is dangerous to the status quo. It is dangerous to those few who benefit from the status quo.
Men like Patrick Henry compelled the establishment of a new nation on a new continent with speech. Joan of Arc compelled French resistance with speech. Jesus Christ compelled Salvation with speech. No movement is possible in silence.
Consequently, that is why they fear speech. It threatens their grasp on us. Free speech shakes their hold. Functional constitutional republics rely on free speech to achieve responsive government. Autocracies fail in such an environment, so they act to suppress it. Healthy societies rely on free speech to weigh the costs and benefits of medical decisions. Those invested in profiteering from medical outcomes act to suppress it. Christianity relies on free speech to promote the Word of God and the Salvation of the masses. Thus, the ADL hates free speech. It must suppress that speech because it fears the end result: the elimination of their systemic power over us. After all, they are of their father and His blood be upon them.

When the first President Bush told us he was going to defeat the Iraqi army and that’s what ensued. That’s not to say it should’ve been done, but he said he would do it and then he did. Hell, even Hillary Clinton told us that young black men were committing massive amounts of crime so we should put more of them in jail for longer to reduce their mayhem. That was actually happening and increasing the incarceration made it happen less, just like she said. Many such cases.
My point is that our country wasn’t on a better track. It was all heading to where we’re at right now. But, in terms of expectation management it was much easier to convince the average person that things were being run on the level. At this juncture, we have leaders who are told to create existential problems and then insist that insane actions be taken in response. A positive result is promised to occur, which doesn’t and often in a spectacular fashion.
To the extent it’s even possible to keep selling the public on these things, it seems like credibility and charisma would help. It’s in rather short supply. Exhibit A, Jake Sullivan:

Pentagon shill John Kirby is another piece of work.

Why not replace them all with blacks? First of all, blacks can’t be held accountable. Better yet, their mental acuity is beyond reproach. If that social protocol fails and their grasp of the facts is called into question, they’ve got an ace card that works every time. From a theoretical briefing:
Reporter Lady: Mr. Spokesman, three months ago you said that Russia would run out of ammunition in three days. Any comment, sir?
Black Spokesman: Why don’t you just call me a n**?
Reporter Lady: I…..I’m not sure what you’re insinuating.
Black Spokesman: Why don’t you just call me a n**?
Reporter Lady: Um, uh…. do you have any comment on Biden’s approval of the plan for an amphibious landing in Crimea? The Russians have warned this will be met with a nuclear strike on Brussels. Is the Pentagon confident of its risk appraisal?
Black Spokesman: If we gotta roll, we fittin’ ta roll.
This works, and often it brings white people down to talking like they’re mentally deficient. You’ve never seen how a college debate gets won?
Like I said, Kirby’s point about just hiring a bunch of blacks on the spot has more merit than one might initially expect. They’re going to have to try something new because this country is coming off the rails and simply repeating that things are going fine isn’t going to cut it. They need a whole new script.
The post Let’s Get HR on the Phone! appeared first on Identity Dixie.
In a rare bit of brazenness, Hollywood starlet Megan Fox admitted to engaging in blood-drinking rituals with her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly. This is being promoted on leftist sites, including Salon, so this isn’t something your leftist friends can say “uhhh, you should fact check that, sweaty.”
“It’s just a few drops. But yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.” Going further, she says “I read tarot cards and I’m into astrology and I’m doing all these metaphysical practices and meditations…And I do rituals on new moons and full moons, and all these things. And so, when I do it, it’s a passage or it is used for a reason. And it is controlled where it’s like, ‘Let’s shed a few drops of blood and each drink it.’” This is made even more strange given her religious background: she was raised strictly Pentecostal and only (apparently) had a handful of romantic relationships, so one would think some religious feelings would have stuck.
As if I needed to, let’s go to some of the Biblical passages about this:
“You shall not partake of the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Anyone who partakes of it shall be cut off.” (Leviticus 17:13-14).
“abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meat of strangled animals.” (Acts 15:29).
“There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer.” (Deuteronomy 18:10).
“And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.” (Acts 19:19).
“But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8).
Recall a few years back with the spirit cooking and how people said we were crazy to believe they were doing blood magic, even though they seemingly admitted it. Read an official coverup of the spirit cooking story here. The defense of it says it’s nothing more than a “performance” Abramovic did where she painted a wall with pig’s blood with various symbols and instructions like “with a sharp knife cut deeply into the middle finger of your left hand eat the pain.” The author asserts that neither the art itself, nor the spirit cooking cookbook, were intended seriously and was just “poetry.”
Here she (or someone pretending to be her on Reddit) implicitly admit that the private ceremonies she’s allegedly done aren’t art. So, it’s not satanism it’s performance art where she’s performing a satanic ritual or “poetry” where she’s giving you steps to engage in a satanic ritual. I also want to go ahead and get ahead of what detractors may say on this article. I am fully aware that in artwork, it is sometimes a significant part of the authenticity to depict satanic or demonic activity or rituals to engage the viewer (see The Skeleton Key as one such example of magic/sinful rituals or The Exorcist for a depiction of demon possession in which the actress acted possessed and defiled a crucifix). Whether such things should be allowed is a different subject (the crucifix issue in The Exorcist is probably a step too far) but it is still possible to see that as an attempt at making art. However, there is a big difference between a piece of so-called “artwork” depicting a ritual as part of a plot and a piece of “artwork” being solely the ritual itself. Would Breaking Bad be allowed as a piece of “art” if it was simply a step-by-step guide showing how to make meth (in fact, the creators were apparently super careful not to show certain parts of the process to avoid teaching people accidentally how to make meth)? Why then is the excuse valid when describing a satanic ritual? As I’ve said before and I’ll say again: if a man ironically performs fellatio on another man, he’s still performing fellatio on another man. An ironic or “disbelieving” satanic ritual is still a satanic ritual.
Going back to Megan Fox for a moment, two things seem clear. The first is that she clearly does believe the ritual has some effect, so it isn’t just ironic or performance. It is something she does because she believes it does something of value. This makes it a blood/satanic ritual. The second thing is that she was taught this somewhere. No one is going to accuse a Hollywood starlet who is foolish enough to get herself fired from the Transformers series for comparing her boss to “Adolf Hitler” of being particularly intelligent or inquisitive. This isn’t the type of person who reads dusty books for hidden knowledge. No. She’s the type of person to repeat what she’s told and repeat what she sees. She certainly runs in the same circles as the people who go to the spirit cooking events (like Lady Gaga). Perhaps she just took it more seriously than the rest. Perhaps she’s just giving their game away on accident.
The post Alex Jones Vindicated: Blood Magic Admitted appeared first on Identity Dixie.
It seemed to be a usual Monday. Uneventful, really. Supper, time spent with the Scriptures (Matthew 14-18), watching a little television (Ozark…what a terrible ending, but I digress), same old same old. But then a mountain was moved. I received a text from a friend citing an article from Politico which purported to possess a 98-page majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito which struck down Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The latter is a less famous case which itself overturned Roe in part and expanded it in another part, making it the official operative law of the land, regardless of everyone’s continued reference and deference to Roe. This morning, Chief Justice Roberts confirmed the document’s authenticity and ordered an investigation into the leaker.
An aside before I continue: it is absolutely unfathomable that a Supreme Court clerk would so egregiously violate ethical protocol in an attempt to intimidate the majority into changing their votes. I should not be surprised that the Pravda is cheering this surreptitious source, who will probably get paid big bucks for the story after he/she gets disbarred. With news this good, I can even hope that the rules of the legal profession will be enforced on this violator. Although that might be too much wishful thinking.
Before we get to the opinion itself, a little background. As I alluded to in the opening stanza, Roe isn’t truly the law of the land and hasn’t been for more than 30 years. The original decision crafted a “right” to abortion from whole cloth and created arbitrary distinctions among the three trimesters. The short version is that regulating abortion in the first trimester was never legal, it could potentially be justified in the second trimester, and the state had a compelling interest in preventing sacrifices to Moloch in the third trimester, as at this point the fetus is considered viable. That is, thanks to medical science, the youngling could survive if ejected prematurely from the protection of the womb – either by natural happenstance or demonic design. In other words, in that trimester, the burden of proof was on the mother as to why she needed to exercise her “right” at that particular moment in time.
The Supremes love this sort of arbitrary test that does not really have any basis in constitutional law. But such tests, whether Lemon, Strict Scrutiny, or the Roe trimesters add, in the eyes of the court and its devotees, an air of legitimacy to the whole charade. It does not really matter that the document which they are being called to interpret does not say the things they need it to say in order to validate or invalidate the various actions of the state so long as there is some test created which papers over the nakedly despotic shift in power away from the states and towards Babylon. Those of us who disagree with the various decisions? TEST X GOT APPLIED, THEREFORE YOU ARE WRONG, BIGOT!
The Casey decision arose out of Pennsylvania attempting to figure out just where the fence was electrified. Various restrictions were placed on the practice, and TLDR, some of them were upheld and some of them were not. The trimester test of Roe was removed, and the lines between the first two trimesters – already arbitrary to begin with—were blurred. The most ridiculous aspect of that decision (and why most people refer to Roe rather than Casey) is that none of the three opinions proffered garnered a majority. The four-man dissent stated rather plainly that Roe had been wrong from the start and that the Constitution provided no such right. Two hardline liberals said such right was absolute, while three squishes appointed by Republicans shied away from calling it absolute. Indeed, as Alito points out this bloc of three expressed reservation that the Constitution conferred such a right, but out of a misguided deference to the concept of stare decisis. The court had ruled, therefore a ruling which undid the first ruling was beyond their powers. Gotta love conservatives because the Left has never played by those rules. They keep poking at the fence until they get their five votes and THEN precedent is sacrosanct. Not before. Only after they get their way.
Alito addresses this at length, so it bears mentioning here. The concept of stare decisis, or deference to past decisions and precedent, arises out of the English common law. As the Left uses it, it does not matter what hundreds of years of jurisprudence says prior to them getting what they want. Such decisions are, to their minds, wrong and therefore can be safely ignored. It is only upon victory that stare decisis is rightly applied, because then it provides a fortress for their made-up nonsense and a majority of conservative jurists, to this point, have been afraid to assault that fortress. Until now.
Alito rightly points out that outlier decisions in a sea of common and constitutional law which goes in the opposite direction do not get to enjoy the protection of stare decisis. It was certainly possible that an English judge in the days of yore would issue a ruling that was so wildly out of character with the corpus of common law that the ruling necessarily needed to be ignored and the norm restored. He categorizes Roe and Casey as such and goes on to restore the norm.
The case at bar centers on a Mississippi law which outlawed abortion after 15 weeks of gestation. That’s a little ways into the second trimester, for those who are mathematically challenged. Right up against the edge of that arbitrary test created in Roe and into the murky goop of Casey. The respondents in the case blatantly challenged the Supreme Court in saying that they had two options: make the “right” to abortion absolute or overturn Roe and Casey. That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it plays out.
In a sense I can’t really blame them for going that route. It has worked so well for so long, that heck, why not go back to the well? The difference is that this time, the conservatives called the bluff. If indeed the majority holds after the leak, the majority chose option B.
It’s a 98-page opinion, and this an article of some three or four pages, so I’ll summarize the highlights. It creates one of those famous tests, only this time one that works in favor of Godly interests. Does the Constitution confer the right in question? Does the common law confer the right in question? Is there some other source of legal basis for the right which is outside the Constitution and the common law? If the answer to all three questions is no, then the federal courts have no basis to confer that right. Alito goes on in great and fiery detail in explaining why the answer to all these questions is no.
Liberal bloviators have pointed out that such a line of thinking threatens decisions such as Obergfell (gay marriage) and Texas v. Johnson (prohibiting the ban on sodomy). They’re not wrong, nor does the floodgate stop there. Though I do wonder if the states and the courts have the will to push that far back against the liberal flood which is the last 70 years of SCOTUS history.
So-called conservatives such as Jennifer Rubin and the talking heads of Fox News not named Tucker Carlson are stunned and outraged by the “judicial overreach.” Controlled opposition requires a stable polity in order to profiteer, but more on that in a minute.
But, before we get carried away thinking about several tomorrows from now, let’s enjoy the victory which shall come from this particular tomorrow.
It is worth noting that this is not the end of the fight, but rather, the beginning. If indeed the threats of violence against the persons of Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney-Barrett and possibly (though unlikely) Roberts do not sway them from their course, there will be pushback.
The decision does not take a position on whether Congress can confer a right to murder a child, only that the courts cannot do so, as such an action is outside their purview. The Left is scrambling the fighter jets in an attempt to ram such a law through before Congress flips in November.
Such a law would very likely pass the House by a razor thin margin, but there’s that old chestnut of the filibuster in the Senate. The Left would have to succeed in changing the rules of that chamber in order to get the bill through. Senators Manchin and Sinema have previously expressed a reticence to further alter the rules surrounding the filibuster. Manchin’s website does not mention abortion at all (wise politicking in a very Christian “state” Trump won by 40 points). Sinema does not have an issue page at all, which is curious, but this will more than likely test her commitment to maintaining the filibuster.
I imagine that the strategy will be to carve out yet another exception to when the filibuster may not be used in order to get the blue dog Democrats and liberal Republicans such as Collins and Murkowski on board. Though the already vulnerable Democrats in Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia may be loath to kick that hornet’s nest as voters in those states have made it rather clear where they stand on baby murder. Murkowski is also under siege and up for re-election.
Long story short, I know that Schumer and Pelosi are going to try, but I’m not entirely certain they have the juice to get it done. But let’s game it out as though they do.
If the Left is successful in eliminating the filibuster, in toto or in part, and a law is signed by the Alzheimer’s patient in chief. What happens then?
Twenty-one states and counting have what are known as trigger laws. That is, the legislatures of those states recognize that should an opening present itself, time would be of the essence, and so a bill was preemptively passed which would outlaw abortion should the Supreme Court permit such an action. Contrary to popular belief, that’s all a repeal of Roe would allow – state action one way or another. In a functional polity, this would not cause friction, as everyone would stay in his respective corner and live according to the dictates of his conscience (here I’m being generous to the Molochites). That is how the Republic was set up and how it was designed to work. But this isn’t a Republic nor is it a functional polity. It isn’t enough for the Yankees to just go back to their cesspools. They must bring their poison to every corner of the earth.
The new federal law would be at odds with state law, and as prior history has shown, what that means largely depends on how far the central government is willing to go in order to enforce its code. It has ranged from not at all (marijuana nullification laws have gone unpunished) to by bayonet (see: Arkansas in 1957) and several points in between.
Service to Moloch is a key plank of leftism, so I imagine enforcement would be more like what Orville Faubus experienced and less like the freedom enjoyed by potheads across the country. But the resistance would be fierce and could not be cowed quite so easily as those opposed to integration were cowed, because this resistance is biblical, godly, and just.
This would set up another battle in the Supreme Court which would have the nine determine whether the enumerated powers give Congress the authority to dictate abortion law to the states. Alito’s text indicates that he would not support such a power, as he clearly believes this is an issue for the states and their elected representatives. Thomas would follow suit. It is less clear how the Trump justices would vote.
The glue which holds this Empire, already strained, will further be loosened by this chain of events, regardless of how it plays out. For this decision alone, should it stand, I am willing to forgive all of Donald Trump’s various idiocies.
I cannot say that our side will ultimately carry the day. This is, after all, a godless Empire. We’ll hear the spectre of court packing be dredged up again. Political violence from the Left is a distinct possibility. But be not afraid, brothers. I hardly believed that we’d ever get this far. Perhaps that is why the Lord guided me to those particular chapters for yesterday’s study. I’ll share two relevant verses.
The first is from Matthew 18: 6-7.
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
The second is Matthew 17:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Official lies are disseminated in narratives. One feature of people who are compelled by these narratives is that there’s zero introspection about the current narrative when the last one was proven false. In other words, the contradictions mean nothing. However, some actually do need a rhetorical mechanism to write the last narrative off. This offers explanatory and predictive value for how events unfold.
For example, there was a quick pivot from the mantra that vaccines are “safe and effective,” which is why they must be mandated, to then dropping the mandates and blaming the rampant side effects on COVID. The new narrative doesn’t make any sense according to the old narrative, but it does move these people along.
For BLM’s summer of carnage, they were fed the line that it wasn’t about burning stuff down it was about protesting racial injustice. It couldn’t be denied that stuff was burning down, that was visible from space. Moreover, it’s very hard to make a case that burning stuff down was good with a straight face. In fact, nobody is allowed to burn stuff down anymore precisely because that’s bad. So, they just say it was about racial injustice without trying to enforce cognitive dissonance.
Ukraine is the most challenging narrative to salvage yet. At first, they were told that Ukraine was winning and the Russians would be vanquished in a matter of days. Right now, the narrative has shifted to Ukraine is holding out in a war that could drag on for quite some time. This will work until a massive Russian ground offensive takes out up to 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers. After Russia consolidates control over the east and Black Sea coast, it’s not going to hold up at all.
A formal withdrawal or surrender that enables these young men to start families and rebuild instead of dying pointless deaths would clearly be to the benefit of whatever is left of Ukraine. The probability of the U.S. allowing this to happen is extremely low.
Next, it will be claimed that Russia wasn’t able take western Ukraine because it was fought to a standstill. This can be declared a victory while allowing these soldiers to return home would be an acknowledgement of defeat. If they’re dead, it can be said that they saved the west from Russian conquest. It doesn’t have to be acknowledged that Russia didn’t want that area and these people never listen to the Russian take on things anyway. So, to the U.S. their deaths won’t be pointless. They’ll be for the new narrative.

(Note to ID readers: Below is chapter XI of my book, From Ordinary to Extraordinary – The Life and Times of Mattew Fontaine Maury, Pathfinder of the Seas. Hope y’all enjoy, and will perhaps share with your children. -T.M.)
The sickly old Commodore awakened from his extended and quiet respite. During the four long months of confinement to his bed, Lucy had not seen him look so rested as he appeared at this very moment. His complexion seemed less pale, his deep blue eyes nearly as clear as ever she could remember them from the days of her early childhood when she was just a pigtailed little girl. She bowed her head ever so slightly; closing her eyes and softly folding her hands together, she said a silent prayer, thanking her heavenly father for granting her beloved dad a few hours’ peace and rest.:
I thank thee, O God, for thy gracious blessing thou hast bestowed upon thy faithful servant, my poor old dying papa.
“He was a lovely boy,” suddenly announced the old Commodore. His eyes peered across the room as the words leapt from his lips. It was as though he were staring through the adjacent wall and off into the ether. “Who, papa?,” Lucy inquired slightly above the level of a whisper. “My wonderful ‘Davy Jones,'” answered the dying Commander.
Lucy was the youngest of the Maury children. As with all of her brothers and sisters, her father had given her a nickname when she was very little. All except the eldest, that is. When pressed for an explanation for the one exception, her father had always said that she had just grown up too fast before he had a chance to fix a proper name to her. Nevertheless, her seven younger siblings would all be given his or her own pet name by their father, each in his or her own turn. There was “Nannie Curly,” “Goggen,” “Davy Jones,” “Tots,” “Glum,” “Brave,” and “Sat Sing.” The last of which belonged, of course, to Lucy.
“He never said an unkind word to anyone,” the old Commodore continued speaking; “nor entertained an impure thought that I ever knew about.”
The boy’s baptismal name was John Herndon Maury. He took his middle name from his mother’s maiden name. Before the infant John Herndon grew to be a toddler, Matt would permanently affix to the lad a pet name of his own. He would call the lad “Davy Jones.”
“You know the old seaman’s tale of “Davy Jones’s Locker,” her father continued. “I gave to him the name because of the goodness of his little heart. He was always such a good and loving and obedient boy. Perfect in all his ways. He never questioned or disobeyed an order he was given by anyone in authority, but instead fulfilled it promptly, and with that cheerfully obedient disposition that always gladdens a father’s heart. The scriptures say that ‘a wise son maketh a glad father,’ and all can be assured that in this, as with all else that Book of books touches, the inerrant Word of God does not mislead or deceive.”
“Now, in the tale of ‘Davy Jones’s Locker,’ we are given to imagine that deep at the bottom of the vast ocean, there sits atop a large old wooden crate the spirit of an evil old sailor, eager to collect the flesh and bones of sailors, and all they have in the world, who should perish at sea by way of some disaster or other. Some versions of the tale give us to believe that the spirit of “Davy Jones,” ever restless and greedy of adding to the contents of his malevolent ‘locker,’ often rises from his abysmal perch to the surface to stir the elements into great squalls and tempests and storms, causing shipwrecks and great calamities at sea. Remember the words of Tobias Smollett in Adventures of a Peregrine Pickle? Says he:
This same Davy Jones, according to the sailors, is the fiend that presides over all the evil spirits of the deep, and is often seen in various shapes, perching among the rigging on the eve of hurricanes, ship wrecks, and other disasters to which sea-faring life is exposed, warning the devoted wretch of death and woe.
“I thought the name befitting the boy’s wonderful disposition because, I reasoned, such an agreeable temperament as was his possession was either that of a heavenly figure in human form, or proceeded from a sinister spirit deep within his soul, the angelic mask of which was donned to conceal.” The old Commodore chuckled at his own joke as he continued with his thoughts – “And since the notion of his having not inherited from his parents that sin nature passed down to us by our parents – and to them from theirs, and on and on back to our first parents – seemed to me unlikely in the extreme, I decided upon affixing to him a name more aligned with the rule of the case, and not of the impossible exception. There was also the matter of the possibility, I thought, that the ‘Davy Jones’ of legend and old seaman’s lore had undeservedly inherited a bad name for himself. If that be the case, then passing his namesake onto such a child as this would do its own small part to set the record straight. At least to the minds of the few who should come to know the latter.”
Lucy and her father both began to chuckle and laughed a few moments together at that. It had been a family joke for as long as she could remember. And her father had always possessed a very lively and imaginative sense of humor; one that people sometimes misunderstood since it proceeded from an uncommon original mind. Her father liked hearing a good joke as much as anyone else, and he liked telling one even more. But one thing he never permitted in his presence was gossip about other people, whether friend or foe, especially when effort was made to pass such gossip off as just another harmless joke. In any case, it did young Lucy’s heart good to see, if measured and but for a fleeting moment, return of her father’s wonderful sense of humor. She stole a moment to glance heavenward and to say another silent prayer of thanksgiving.
“If I could be granted one last request before the Lord calls me home,” the Commodore began again to speak, his demeanor suddenly turned serious, his voice now trembling slightly, “it would be to know what really happened to my wonderful ‘Davy Jones.'” Tears began to form in Lucy’s eyes. As with every other member of the Maury clan, Lucy knew that her unfortunate brother had suddenly disappeared early in the war while on a reconnaissance mission tracking the movements of the Union army. That was all anyone had ever known for sure, everything else surrounding his disappearance having always been shrouded in a veil of mystery. No one knew whether he’d been shot and killed, or drowned in the river near where he’d last been seen; or if perhaps he’d been captured and imprisoned by Union soldiers. The fact that nobody knew for certain what happened to John was a terrible burden for her father to bear, and Lucy knew it all too well.
When the young Maury failed to return to his outfit with his report on enemy positions by the next evening, his fellow junior officers became concerned for his well-being. Their commander organized a troupe of officers and enlisted men under orders to initiate a search-and-rescue mission for their missing comrade. They only knew where he’d last been seen and in what direction he had been headed. Beginning their search at that very place, they traced his movements the best they could until, at length, the company happened upon his riderless horse aimlessly wandering about near a narrow stream. Eventually they would follow the horse’s movements back to the spot where the evidence suggested the young Maury had dismounted. From that point they could only make out faint details of the events that followed.
In the moist terrain of that spot there were signs of a struggle involving several men, of which Lieutenant Maury must have been one. The others, it was surmised, must have been a small detachment of Union soldiers upon whose position young Maury had inadvertently ridden. The best scenario of what happened, the evidence seemed to suggest, was that Lieutenant Maury had dismounted from his horse to get a better look at the enemy position across the way through his field glasses. A small detachment of Union soldiers had seen him riding in their direction and had hidden themselves in a clump of trees nearby from whence they quickly planned an ambush. Suddenly and violently, they flung themselves upon and overwhelmed young Maury as he was dismounting. Upon their attack Lieutenant Maury’s horse was spooked and fled the scene in a panic. The evidence, such as it was, seemed to indicate the enemy soldiers got control of young Maury and dragged him down to the river where they had earlier crossed over in a small boat. From that, the assumption was made that his captors had conveyed the captured “prize” to the Union side of the river and back to their camp, where they were likely holding him prisoner. But that was just conjecture that no one knew for sure. Beyond those murky details, nothing was known whatsoever.
It was later learned that the regiment young Maury had been surveilling when he disappeared was under the command of General Grant. Lieutenant Maury’s father knew General Grant personally and well, as he did many other high ranking Union officers. And, indeed, young ‘Davy Jones’ himself was well known to many Union officers who had watched him grow from a boy to a man at the Observatory under his father’s superintendency for all those years before the war.
Upon learning of General Grant’s command of the army young Maury’s presumed captors must have been attached to, a Confederate messenger was dispatched, under the flag of truce, bearing a message from Lieutenant Maury’s father. The message informed General Grant of the circumstances of his son’s disappearance and last known whereabouts, and humbly requested his assistance in locating the younger Maury, or determining what had been his fate. General Grant promptly sent a heartfelt reply bearing his compliments to the elder Maury, expressing his deepest regrets and concerns for the young lieutenant’s safety and well being. He promised to expend every effort and to ‘leave no stone unturned’ in determining what had happened to Lieutenant Maury, and to dispatch the findings of his investigation back to the Confederate army at the earliest possible date.
Unfortunately, nothing ever came of General Grant’s investigation into Lieutenant Maury’s disappearance. No one under his command ever confessed to having been a member of the party that fell upon Lieutenant Maury on that fateful day. And to this very day the whole affair remains shrouded in a thick veil of darkness, as though it were forever locked away at the bottom of the sea in that old fiend’s crate sailing men call Davy Jones’s Locker.

It is becoming clearer by the day that the oligarchs are doing everything they can to drag the United States into a hot war with Russia. Such a war would be a disaster, untold millions would die, major cities would be destroyed, and young men would be sent off to fight a war in which they have little to gain. Still, the drumbeats for war continue, coming from chickenhawks whose wealth and influence will spare them and their children from the actual fighting. As long as more than one major power has nuclear weapons, it has been well known that any future war between them would be unwinnable thanks to MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction).
This raises the question as to why so many are cavalier enough to suggest such a war as desirable. Part of this is, as has already been mentioned, that the elites have insulated themselves from the consequences of war. In Vietnam, our elites received deferments (Joe Biden received five, Trump four). For the Empire’s more recent wars, the children of the elites simply do not serve or, if they do, it’s in some comfortable, short-term administrative role. However, the children of the working-class get shrapnel, lost limbs, and PTSD, only to be later treated like garbage by the useless Veterans Affairs. But, there is a little more than just this; after all, China is a threat to the United States and the Empire is not clamoring for war with China. The difference is that the elites and their hangers-on have, since at least late 2016, been fed a steady diet of anti-Russian hatred. Remember, they think Russia stole the election from Hillary and gave it to Trump. Thus, war with Russia becomes a way for them to take out their destructive revenge on Trump.
However, there is another, still deeper reason why they are taking this risk, one that the elites understand, at least subconsciously, but their toadies do not – war with Russia is the only way to keep the United States united. The first thing you must understand here is that the U.S. is not, nor has ever been and, God-willing, will never be, one nation. It is made up of many different nations, each with their own interests. Historically, the only way to keep these nations from realizing these differences is by launching imperial projects designed to keep each nation focused on something else. The First Imperial Project lasted from the nation’s founding until 1850 with the chief purpose of acquiring land to the Pacific. The Second Imperial Project was from 1898 to 1991 and focused on the destruction of hierarchy and dictatorship. This project had three distinct phases. The first phase focused on eliminating old-style European monarchism (The Spanish-American War and World War I), the second phase turned to the eradication of nationalism (World War II), while the third phase targeted communism (the Cold War). The Third Imperial Project began in 2001 and its goal is/was combatting Islamism, which emerged as the most significant challenger to neoliberalism following the Cold War. Unlike the other two projects, the Third Imperial Project has no definitive end, thanks in no small part to its abysmal failures.
These imperial projects are absolutely essential for keeping the distinctive nations of the United States from fully realizing their nationhood. It is no coincidence that very soon after the end of the First Imperial Project, one of the nations of the United States, Dixie, tried to carve her own path. The South realized that she was her own nation and people. We can observe this after the end of the Second Imperial Project, as well. It was in the post-Cold War era when the modern Southern Nationalist movement was born, including the formation of the League of the South. It was also in this time period when the concept of “Red States” (basically, Dixie and a few allied states in the Midwest and Mountain West) and “Blue States” (Yankeeland and its allied West Coast) was formed. Additionally, this can be seen as the Third Imperial Project fell apart so spectacularly. For example, consider how phrases like “United We Stand,” very common in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, have gone the way of the dodo, replaced with the sober realization that the Unites States, as a single, united nation, makes little sense. Therefore, the elites are desperate to create a Forth Imperial Project, as it as the only real way to keep the Empire together.
Still, this does seem like a bit of an unnecessary risk. After all, they might be able to bring whatever nation that breaks away back into the Union again – by force, if necessary – as they did in the aftermath of the end of the First Imperial Project. Or, even if one nation does break free, they can forge the Empire back together at a later date. There is something even more important going on here – the survival of the Unites States is necessary for the survival of globohomo. There has never been an economic, military, or cultural power like the United States. And, if that is gone, no one else can enforce the values of globohomo. Let me put it this way – in isolation, Sweden is more socially degenerate than the United States; however, this is only in isolation. Sweden, for all of its problems, cannot spread its errors, the United States can.
We must understand just how ideologically driven, just how utterly devoted to globohomo the elites are. They are fully willing to offer up their own children as a sacrifice to the alter of transgenderism, it has become a badge of honor to them. And, that dedication is blindly driving them to a war with Russia. If they do not take this risk, there will be no Fourth Imperial Project, and that means the differences between the various nations within the United States will become harder to ignore. One of them will try to break free. Even if the Empire is able to crush another rebellion again, the energy required for that oppression will ensure that spreading globohomo is stalled. Also, if one nation does manage to break free and keep its freedom, then it’s all over, the other nations will follow and the greatest driving force of globohomo will be gone. The survival of the United States as a single nation is needed in order to keep globohomo going.
The United States can only exist via these imperial projects. That is why the end of each of the previous imperial projects has been marked by a rise in nationalism within the nations of the United States, and nowhere has this nationalism been more strongly felt than in Dixie. And, that is why the elites are willing to risk so much for a war with Russia, they know that they must do it or risk the balkanization of the Empire and the end of globohomo. There entire moral order is at risk, and only a new imperial project can save it. They may be wicked, but they are not wrong on this front, they need a new enemy to launch the Forth Imperial Project and suicidally consider Russia as the ideal candidate. They would rather have millions of people die and cities reduced to rubble than to slow down the spread of Western degeneracy. Let that sink in.

As someone included in the Gen Z generation (those born between the mid-to-late 1990s to the early 2010s), I see my generation get a lot of heat. That heat is well deserved in many instances, but I would like to give an applause to those in my generation who have embraced the call of Southern Nationalism. Furthermore, it should be noted that this is a massive white pill for our collective movement. After all, as we get further into the 2020s, this generation will quickly mature during this increasingly turbulent period of American decline. And for better or worse, it’s us who will one day end up being the parents of tomorrow.
For starters, let me provide a label to the young Southerners of today who, despite overwhelming pressure to sacrifice their Southern identity to hordes of gender confused freaks, have nonetheless stood strong in their Dixian culture. I believe the “Young Fire-Eaters” is the right description for them (myself included), as I observe this younger batch of Southern Nationalists to be more in line with those of the 1850s than our older compatriots. To begin, we have no good memories of the Empire, in a general sense. Unlike Generation X, who grew up in the age of the Fabulous Free Birds, Alabama, and a time where one could wear a Confederate t-shirt in public school, we’ve been bombarded with anti-Southern hate our whole lives. Many actually found our Southern identity during that hot summer of 2015, when all major institutions went on a purge of Dixie. Being pro-South then (and now) was the actual rebellious thing to do, considering the powers that be demanded an “end to the Confederate flag.”
Unlike those a few years older than us, we also weren’t able to do activism or be involved with “boots on the ground” projects that the League took in the 2010s. I think that has shaped us into a more aggressive group of hot-heads, similar to the original Fire-Eaters who cheered for a chance to “whip the Yankees” in the aftermath of Lincoln’s election. It should be noted that the original Fire-Eaters were known for their relatively long hair, temper, and youthfulness, with many of them being professionals or working-class men from the Deep South. Many forget that those who rallied for secession the hardest were younger men who didn’t have the nostalgia for the Old Union that the older men had (of Marse Robert’s generation). Similarly, they grew up in the time of Bloody Kansas and increased political tension.
Once again, I, as well as my social circle, have almost no fond memories of the “Old US of A” – the country that Boomers, Gen X, and older Millennials grew up in. By the time most of us were even old enough to understand, or even care for politics, it was the era of Trump, and we know how that triggered the nationwide political turmoil into overdrive. Our first political memories were the brawls between Trump supporters and gangs of antifa. What was surprising to other generations (recurring political brawls in the streets) was the established norm to us. The Young Fire-Eaters have mostly seen the American Empire in its ugly decline (we even missed the 9/11 kumbaya that brought many Southerners into a patriotic hysteria). My point is, we aren’t hampered by the nostalgia of “God Bless ‘Murica.” The status quo for “Americanism” is to be politically correct, pro-homosexual, and anti-White/Southern. To be a genuine rebel, you have to buck this degeneracy. Indeed, one commonality I’ve observed from my fellow Young Fire-Eaters is a history of school scuffles, not over girls or sports but over politics. This is because, unlike the 1980s and 1990s, we’ve witnessed the entire social fabric of the American Empire collapse. Can you imagine going back to any 1980s or 1990s high school and telling people you believe (and “muh science” agrees) that a man in a dress is actually a woman? You’d been laughed at and called a fag, as it should be.
In short, we don’t believe in “America.” And, we desire to see something new, not just a return to Reagan’s America, which we’ve never experienced. Take for instance how many of the Young Fire-Eaters, largely being Civil War buffs, desired to visit the great, now sadly destroyed, Monument Avenue of Richmond, along with the other monuments to the Confederacy around the South. Due to the destruction of those monuments, which was largely kicked off in 2015 and is still ongoing, we will never get that experience. That’s something which seriously enrages us, especially when there wasn’t a practical reason for the Left, who love to claim they’re all about “unity” and coming together, to remove those monuments other than to humiliate and hurt Southerners. They removed that experience of viewing the grand monuments of the South, like Lee’s former monument in Charlottesville, Virginia, from future generations of Southerners.
The Thermidorian Reaction of this will be a generation of Southerners who would like nothing more than to watch this spiteful empire and its wicked institutions burn to the ground. As the dollar continues to fall and the decrepit, but nonetheless arrogant, American Empire eyes up a fight with China and/or Russia, we may get our wish sooner rather than later.

(Note to ID readers: I originally wrote the article which follows and posted it at my kids’ private blog several years ago. A commenter brought it to mind by way of something he wrote under one of my articles recently published at this site. What you’re getting below is a slightly edited version of the original article. Apologies in advance for its “preachiness” towards the end; my kids sometimes need to be preached at. -T.M.)
Most any writer and publication (s)he writes for attempts to draw readers’ attention with a good or “catchy” headline. This is not a liberal or a conservative thing, it is a media thing. I know that I, for one, am definitely guilty as charged, and I’m pretty sure that my fellow contributors here at Identity Dixie would admit to the same were they asked the question. A publication’s headlines will nevertheless and almost invariably reflect the writer’s and/or the publisher’s overall world and life view, when they’re not otherwise parodying its opposite. Nothing especially wrong with that in and of itself; just the way it is.
By the same token, most writers and publishers know that the vast majority of readers are generally not going to bother reading an entire article start-to-finish, but instead will read the headline, perhaps the first and last paragraphs, and will skim over the rest of a given article’s contents. If, that is, (s)he reads even that much. Everything in between is just unnecessary filler to the average reader, and with this knowledge in mind a clever writer possessing no scruples against utilizing the writer’s equivalent of a magician’s “sleight of hand” will strategically place what he wants his readers to consume at the front and back ends of his articles. Writers of a liberal bent are particularly prone to doing this sort of thing; “conservative” (scare quotes intentional) writers tend to hold their readership(s) in higher esteem, proportional to their commitment to genuine conservative principles.
The old adage we’re all familiar with that addresses such like states, “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Neither should one judge the contents of an article by its headline, nor its first and last sentences or paragraphs, nor a combination thereof, for that matter. To do so is to set oneself up to be “played for the fool.”
I have quoted him before dozens of times on this and similar matters, but it bears repeating in this instance a relevant portion of Noah Webster’s Advice to a Young Man Commencing His Education. Mr. Webster advised the young man in question that, as every man is endowed with the capacity to reason, it was evidently the purpose of the Creator when He made man that reason should be man’s guide, as opposed to the other animals not made in God’s image and likeness. Mr. Webster went on, however, to solemnly warn his young friend,
… But reason, unaided by experience and by revelation, is a miserable guide; it often errs from ignorance and more often from the impulse of passion.
I should point out here that by “revelation,” Webster wasn’t just referring to what I’ll call the biblical kind, but certainly that kind too; he was referring to both general and special revelation.
I trust you see where I am headed with all of this. Despite our God-given capacity to reason, men are nevertheless highly susceptible to what Mr. Webster called the impulse of passion, particularly when they’re only taking in a few fragments of a given story or event. You may see this ungrateful phenomenon in full relief in the comments under this article, among many, many others more or less like it. In this particular case, let us look at the headline that everyone read in his or her “newsfeed” or whatever, before they started disembarking off the reader bus.
A Six Year-old Girl Separated from Her Mother Was Sexually Abused at an Arizona Detention Facility
Having read the headline and nothing more so far, what is your initial reaction to it? If you’re a normal person your reaction is probably near to mine – sadness mingled with a healthy admixture of outrage, and a strong desire to hang the bastard that did this! Or to otherwise cut his you-know-whats off.
Natural enough and fair enough, but let’s do the abnormal thing and read past where a bunch of “readers” already disembarked:
Thanks to the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” immigration policy that ripped thousands of children away from their parents at the border, a 6-year-old girl reportedly was sexually abused on at least two occasions at an Arizona detention facility. In response, she was forced to sign a form stating that she would stay away from her alleged abuser, The Nation reported.
That is the first paragraph of the article under the headline above-posted, the point at which the writer and/or the editors already know the remaining average reader will have stopped reading before skipping to the end to read the last few lines. But let’s read the second paragraph in any case, shall we, since you and I are not to be counted among the persons in your “average reader” group.:
According to the report, the girl, identified by the initials D.L., and her mother had fled gang violence in Guatemala. In May, they sought asylum at a border entry point in El Paso, TX. Two days later, immigration authorities separated D.L. from her mother and sent the young girl to an immigration shelter outside of Phoenix run by Southwest Key Programs.
Notice anything wrong here? Anything – relevant information – conspicuously missing? I don’t know about you, but I want to know a paragraph and a half back who did this! I could make assumptions and jump to conclusions like anyone else, but I want facts and I want them quickly. Stop crying me a river! Spare me all of the idiotic emotion-driven Trump bashing and give me the facts of the case! Namely, and most importantly, who is the perp?
Despite my impatience with the writer and his emotion-filled blather, I’m intent to read on and find out who the perpetrator was. If that information is buried somewhere in the article, that is to say; if it is not, I’ll seek it elsewhere. What I’m not going to do in any case, or under any circumstances, is to leap to conclusions based on a provocative headline and one or two equally provocative paragraphs plucked from the front and back ends of the full article. To do so would be stupid and irrational of me, and allowing myself to be played for the fool.
Finally, in paragraph 3, long after 98% of the common herd has skipped down to the final paragraph, ignoring everything written in between, we read that the alleged perpetrator is a 12 year-old immigrant boy of the victim’s same nationality and housed at the same facility.
Meanwhile, and as I said, our impulsive, impassioned and angry fellow “readers” skipped way past that paragraph and those that follow it, and read the following to close the article:
[A study] found that “in the past five years, police have responded to at least 125 calls reporting sex offenses at shelters that primarily serve immigrant children. That number doesn’t include another 200 such calls from more than a dozen shelters that also care for at-risk youth residing in the U.S.”
Boston Medical Center child psychiatrist Lisa Fortuna told ProPublica: “If you’re a predator, it’s a gold mine,” referring to the immigrant youth shelters.
Given the fact that we’re not given any details (one wonders why) as to who, what, when, where, why, or how all of these 325 accumulated reports of alleged sexual abuse involved; and given Ms. Fortuna’s quotation strategically placed to close out the article, how do you think the average reader (that “reader” in the 98 percentile group who rushed to virtue signal in the comments box before (s)he’d read a tenth part of the full article) is going to answer the who, what, when, where, why, how questions as they occur to his mind? Well of course (s)he’s going to make a bunch of assumptions and leap to conclusions, and those assumptions and conclusions will invariably reflect his worldview just like the article’s headline and first and last paragraphs reflect the worldview of the writer and are intended to assist the reader’s reasoning to err, both from ignorance of the details of the case, but more so from the impulse of passion. In other words, he’s going to make a damn fool of himself along with a host of other such fools.
Bottom line: Don’t be the average reader, otherwise known as a common fool and an idiot! Even when a writer isn’t as clever or as morally unscrupulous as I give a certain type of writer credit for in a preceding paragraph, you are still willingly setting yourself up to be played for the fool if you can be counted among the 98 percentile group mentioned above. Have a little more self-respect than that, eh? After all, a text out of context is a pretext, as they say. And of course, this principle applies across the board. e.g., when reading a book, a pamphlet, when contemplating causes and effects of historical events, and so on.
The post Never Judge an Article by its Headline, and Don’t Overreact appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Published in 1992, political scientist Francis Fukuyama’s ‘End of History’ described a world in which he saw the 70+ year struggle between the authoritarian styles of government meeting an unequivocal end with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. What triumphed – principally the American system of ‘liberal democratic capitalism’ – was a model that in many ways proceeded to envelope the rest of the world in the coming years. For this, Fukuyama gets much right, but as the title of the book implies, the notion of an end to all other forms of civilization is questionable, and in the light of the rise of rival development models in Asia and a tentatively resurgent Russia, the thesis appears inaccurate at best, or grossly absurd at worst.

The post Myth of the 20th Century: The End of History and the Last Man appeared first on Identity Dixie.
I see this in the most bizarre locations of the internet. From Facebook to Twitter (where my team and I lurk in the shadows as leftists) to Gab, the idea of some variant of a Racial Holy War (“RaHoWa” – a goofball name if there ever was one) emerges. For the Left, the theme is consistent: when blacks eventually rise up, Whites will not know what hit ‘em. [NOTE: leftists tend to capitalize the ‘B’ and lower case the ‘W’]. Meanwhile, hardcore White Nationalists say something to the following effect: when the White man gets angry enough, vengeance will be his. To some extent, both are correct, but for different reasons. Whereas I do not want “RaHoWa” – I greatly prefer a peaceful separation of the two races – there is no doubt in my mind that the United States is headed for a civil war and that civil war will inevitably involve a very clear racial division. In fact, the number of normies who believe something similar is coming is astounding. Yet, despite the fact that most know something is coming, they often ignore the greater question: should such a break down occur, what happens next? Here are my thoughts on such a possible conflict.
To start, I believe that a civil war is being engineered in the United States by a cabal of individuals who think they can control the outcome of a “reset.” The majority of those individuals are Jewish elites, but they are not all Jewish elites. There are individuals who are not Jewish yet they share a similar belief that a flawed United States – and Western Civilization writ large – requires a fundamental transformation. There are too many armed free thinkers to simply seize power. That stated, the election of Donald Trump and other populist candidates in countries ranging from Brazil to the Philippines, was a wakeup call for elites to accelerate the reset. That transformation is in the works.
What elites greatly prefer is an Asiatic mindset of compliant masses, coupled with some extraordinarily low IQ individuals to sweep floors and kill their enemies. In effect, they seek programmable (i.e., leftist) White and Asian bureaucrats capable of managing the more technical facets of the economy, without questioning managerial or governmental decisions, coupled with black thugs as de facto or de jure institutional enforcement. I strongly suspect that is the motivation behind the U.S. Department of Defense’s war against White service members, especially Southerners. All of this ties into the subject of possible racial strife.
What elites do not understand is the genetic propensity of individuals to gravitate toward familiar members for their own protection. In other words, when people feel threatened, they go tribal. It is then set upon the tribe to determine the value of the individual’s potential contribution to their collective security. This is the defining feature of racial dynamics in prison.
I can personally attest to the fact that every single White “racial ally” of blacks that enters prison is violated immediately and simultaneously discarded by other Whites. They are forced to serve their time at the mercy of their new black masters. Ironically, the most vocal proponents of White Nationalism are incarcerated Jews. For those who do not understand the Aryan Brotherhood, which dominates White solidarity behind prison walls, “AB” is not racially “pure.” They do not care about “naming the Jew” or really advancing a White Nationalist political ideology (they are a criminal enterprise); they care about the immediate practical results of a new recruit. Consequently, if a Jew can yield some positive result for the Aryan Brotherhood, they are “in.” Why am I telling you this? Because a hypothetical racial conflict will likely emulate prison, but on a much broader and more violent scale at key points.
Returning to those elites who seek a civil war to achieve certain goals (which I will cover in a moment), they have neither been in prison nor grew up in a truly “diverse” urban environment. Rather, such elites hail from suburban enclaves or high society urban locations protected by the police. Their version of racial intermixing really boils down to photo-ops with the rare black judge’s children who go to the same private schools as them. That black judge’s son may speak with a contrived hood twang around his White cohorts, but blacks know who he is immediately. Regardless, elites have been raised within White enclaves and sanitized versions of black pretenders.
I strongly suspect that a civil war will begin for a number of reasons, but the greatest reason will be a general belief among elites in a religion called “Climate Change,” and an assumption that global resources will shrink due to said change, such that their standard of living will shrink. Given that many facets of society can be automated, the need for laborers is not nearly as important. Those who need to remain in order to provide basic services must comply with elite mandates. Those who do not, must be eliminated. Consequently, this will likely boil down to urban/suburban vs exurban/rural divisions. Whites willing to live in large cities or cookie-cutter suburbia, will largely do what they are told. Whites in “fly over country” are less compliant, as proven by their unwillingness to mask-up and vaccinate. For elites, they are the problem.
But how do we get from a disintegrating former superpower – as we have today – to a domestic race war? I suspect it will begin with a newly contrived crisis that spirals out of elite control faster than they can manage. We have already seen a fictitious pandemic, a manufactured supply chain collapse, an engineered food crisis, a stolen election, and most likely – I suspect – the next phase will be a new counterterrorism campaign geared toward White separatist “extremists.” Think Randy Weaver on a massive scale, beginning with red flag gun confiscations that go badly. “Blue Lives Matter” is already on life support, as more normiecons awaken to the reality that law enforcement is not their friend. When police officers, whom they love, come knocking on their doors seeking to disarm them for ill-advised Facebook messages, someone – or a group of someones – may trigger, no pun intended, severe outcomes. This will begin a massive gun grab ostensibly for our own “safety.”
Urban blacks and Hispanics who do not enjoy legally registered firearms will remain armed. Confiscations will begin in suburban and exurban areas. Most rural sheriff departments are not likely to support a gun grab. They typically go to the same churches and social gatherings as their agricultural kith and kin. To support a gun confiscation program in a rural area would be suicide. Exurban and especially suburban law enforcement bodies, however, tend to have greater urban and state capital influences. This will trigger something, especially when coupled with crippling dollar devaluation, outsized debt, food shortages, and expanded violent crime. Regardless, if the shooting starts – which I suspect will occur in an exurban area – racial divisions will become the immediate fallback.
In an environment whereby White elites are surrounded by people of color, upon whom they rely for defense and basic services, they will be the first ones removed. This includes Jews, because blacks do not differentiate between Jews and Whites. Of course, if you are a Jewish elite raised in Greenwich, Connecticut, and divorced from the realities of racial dynamics, the only blacks you know attended Harvard, not Rikers Island. Thus, the inability to understand that they are grabbing a tiger by the tail when they side with urban blacks over rural Whites. They will learn quickly when they become prey. In fact, some version of this is already occurring in high end Jewish enclaves near Los Angeles.
Holistically, a racial conflict will likely fragment into several geographic enclaves with differing outcomes. The urban areas will immediately get conquered by Hispanics. That is not because they are some kind of extraordinary warrior class, per se. Rather, Whites that reside in urban environments are typically soft and weak. They lack the ability to defend themselves. By and large, they are law abiding citizens who rely upon the police. Long gone are the White ethnic mafias. In a racial conflict, Hispanics will have the organizations necessary to succeed. Blacks are exceedingly violent, but disorganized, prone to internal divisions, and they have almost no capacity to aim a weapon and fire accurately. More organized and efficient Hispanics will create fiefdoms within major urban areas. They may or may not allow some Whites to live in those areas.
Blacks will quickly, and for a short time, conquer the suburbs. That other class of soft Whites will wilt as roving bands of angry blacks literally go house-to-house. This is already happening to some extent in South Africa and other areas of Africa and South America. In those areas, however, blacks enjoy numerical superiority. I theorize that, while the United States tries to gain some facet of control, it will only take a full collapse seriously when the suburbs are attacked. If all-out war were to take place in the heart of Chicago or Baltimore, no one would care. However, if war bleeds into idyllic St. Charles, Illinois, or Leesburg, Virginia, the U.S. Government – what is left of it – will scramble. By then, it will be too late.
Meanwhile, White exurban and especially rural areas will largely learn to adapt and reconfigure their expectations. When Whites are in numbers and armed – as can be found in American rural areas – blacks are not coming out to fight them. Unlike South Africa, whereby White farmers are greatly outnumbered by blacks, the reverse is the case in the U.S. Contrary to modern television advertising, with the exception of a handful of black farmers, most blacks have no idea what to do in a forest or near a farm.
Exurban towns will likely become White dominated centers of commerce – such as bartering eggs for milk, raw wool for tools, etc. While the cities collapse and the suburbs become ground zero for vicious retribution, largely for perceived historical abuses that mostly Jewish elites have spoon-fed blacks for decades, Whites outside of these areas will experience very little impact. I would imagine eventually some Hispanic diplomat may bravely bypass the former suburbs to engage in some kind of Tribal Truce, whereby rural goods are exchanged for some kind of urban material of value. Again, this is the prison concept on a national scale – Whites and Hispanics coming to an arrangement to ensure violent blacks are eventually subdued, while finding some form of means to coexist at a distance. The charred remains of suburbia will eventually become a demilitarized zone.
All of this goes back to my original point. I would prefer to see a peaceful future. However, I do not think that will happen. Too many, particularly their race-hustling leadership, are deeply invested in the destruction of Western Civilization. They may not seek a civil war, but their actions will likely trigger a civil war. When that happens – which I believe will be sooner than most think – nature will kick-in, and people will go racially tribal. It is a war that exurban and rural Whites are uniquely suited to win. I do not think that the elites have really thought through the consequences of societal disintegration.
One closing thought. As long as the state provided bread and circuses, the fat masses remained oblivious and happy. That ended in 2016. First, they took the circuses by means of political protests and eventually a contrived pandemic. Now, it appears, they are planning to take our food. This will not end well for them. As for those of us preparing, I look forward to trading my oranges and pecans at my local town center amongst fellow, friendly Whites in a Free Florida.

One method of evaluating BS is to consider the consequences for whoever cooked it up. That’s why I react to any narrative peddled by the U.S. Establishment with either skepticism or outright incredulity.
As long as you’re serving its interests in DC, your risk of prosecution is minimal to non-existent depending on your stature, even if you commit obvious felonies like perjury to Congress. In terms of foreign policy, it’s the same people steering the ship from one disaster to the next while making predictions that never come true.
So, when they first claimed that Ukraine was winning as an incompetent Russia ran out of fuel and ammunition, while it took disproportionate casualties and resorted to massacring civilians, my immediate suspicion was farce. The most substantial evidence proffered was expert analysis, so it wasn’t much different than Saddam’s WMDs in this regard.
“The Russian military appears to have been a Potemkin army in the sense that it was really optimized to look good on training exercises rather than to fight well,” said @criticalthreats’ Fred Kagan. A look at how the Russian army’s problems will continue. https://t.co/ztdadHGUzm

Did you know that “Kagan” is the name of a Scottish Highlands clan? The Russians never disclose figures on their own casualties and it’s not surprising that a modern army would be able to inflict casualties on another modern army. However, each morning their MOD puts out a briefing on strikes carried out in the past 24 hours and a running tally of how much Ukrainian military equipment has been eliminated. From April 26th:
“Overall, the following targets have been destroyed since the start of the special military operation: 141 aircraft, 110 helicopters, 583 unmanned aerial vehicles, 269 surface-to-air missile systems, 2,576 tanks and other combat armored vehicles, 287 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,111 field artillery guns and mortars and also 2,392 special military motor vehicles”
This comports with what one would expect to happen when a military is subjected to an opponent with air superiority and a massive qualitative and quantitative advantage in firepower. If the Russians are fabricating what’s going on, they’d eventually be exposed as liars and lose credibility because they depend on series of cooperative international relationships. Serious countries actually care about “eventually.” By contrast, if the U.S. is lying no such consequences exist because the it’s leading “The Free World,” which is under military and plutocratic occupation.
I'm glad to see Germany finally rethinking its unwillingness to send heavy weaponry to Ukraine.
Now it just needs to stop subsidizing the Russian war-crimes machine to the tune of $220 million a day.https://t.co/cjdFbYe5fp

Free countries get forced into economic collapse for wars they never wanted. The new narrative is backing off Ukrainian victory and gearing towards it becoming a sort of Afghanistan for Russia. That’s ridiculous but it appears likely this tragic process for Ukraine will continue until collapse because surrender doesn’t suit this narrative. After that, whatever’s left of Ukraine will probably be in a state of ruin and dumped on the West to try and fix. We can be sure the lies about what happened will never cease.
One gets swept up in life and work and activities, and the war goes on far away, and one starts to take for granted the amazing courage and achievements of the Ukrainian people. So I want to pause to say again:
Слава Україні! Героям слава!
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!

As a dissident, it can be a pretty exasperating to wait until these people who can’t be held accountable for all the death and suffering they inflict to finally deplete their credibility and prestige – you wonder if this is even possible. The answer is that I don’t really know. But, they don’t either, so they’re not going to relent at doing their best to make it happen.

With the news of Marine Le Pen doing well in the first round of the French Election but sadly losing in the run-off, I thought now a good time to do a light dive on the topic of French monarchism. Interestingly, there are three different factions of potential claimants to the throne. These are the houses of Bourbon (also known as the “legitimist” faction), Orléans, and Bonaparte.
The general outline of events is as follows: The house of Bourbon is a cadet branch of the now defunct house of Capet and was founded by a son of King Louis IX of France in 1272. It ruled France roughly from 1589 until the French Revolution. Napoleon rose up through the French Revolution to become emperor, but then a Bourbon restoration of Louis the 18th occurred. Louis died and Charles X succeeded him. Charles X was supplanted by the Orléans in the July Monarchy which lasted from 1830 to the revolution of 1848 in which Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte was elected president, then became emperor, and finally you get the third republic in 1870.
Napoleon is the best known of them, so let’s start with him. Napoleon Bonaparte was a member of a minor noble family in Corsica (interestingly, with six pointed stars as their main symbol on their coat of arms) and elevated himself primarily through his own resolve and military skill. There are many comparisons that can be made between he and Julius Caesar that I’m not going to delve into here because this article is going to be long enough. Looking at his rule and policies, it seems to be more pragmatism than conservatism that guided him. Even looking at the way in which he set the line of succession was unusual. He didn’t do primogeniture, but rather picked succession lineages based on how agreeable the individual person was to his aims. Obviously, it makes sense to not want a brother who opposed your rise to be your successor, but it would have made more sense to pass him and skip to his son, rather than to completely prevent that family line at all from succession. It may seem silly to hear that from any supporters of republicanism, but a major part of the success and legitimacy of monarchism is how much it honors tradition. The raw pragmatism of Napoleon was hardly traditional. You see that also in the way in which he crowned himself and even with some of the alleged statements behind the scenes whereby he made himself emperor, not because of any belief in it, but because it would solidify his power and gain him more prestige.
You can identify the pragmatism of Bonapartism largely in how he handled the Jewish question as well. In a private letter to his brother, he allegedly said “I have undertaken to reform the Jews, but I have not endeavoured to draw more of them into my realm. Far from that, I have avoided doing anything which could show any esteem for the most despicable of mankind.” He officially gave them equality and got rid of laws restricting them to ghettos, but also did what he could to assimilate them. It seems his view of religion in general was essentially to tolerate it so long as it didn’t undermine his power. Even the extent to which he rolled back the excesses of the French Revolution seemed largely to be for self-interested reasons. Equality was done away with, and a new aristocracy was created that would be loyal to him for stability.
There is perhaps no better encapsulation of Bonapartism than this line by Napoleon III referring to his cabinet: “The Empress is a Legitimist, Morny is an Orléanist, Prince Napoleon is a Republican, and I myself am a Socialist. There is only one Bonapartist, Persigny – and he is mad!” You have historians disagreeing about whether the Bonapartists were conservatives or liberals, but the reality is they were populists and pragmatists more than anything else. Perhaps opportunism is a better encapsulation of their position, rather than the conservatism inherent in the house of Bourbon or the liberalism which seems endemic in Orléans.
Discussing the Bourbons is a tricky subject. One would think that they would be the logical pick for monarchists today, but it is the house of Orléans which gets the most play. Perhaps part of this is because of how the regime ended. I am not going to defend the actions of Charles X or say he was a good or bad king, only that it did not make sense to depose him with a cadet branch. His son, Louis Antoine, was 55 in 1830 and would have made more sense to succeed him. That was what was done in the revolt against Paul of Russia, after all; Alexander I of Russia became the next tsar, not some cadet branch of the House of Romanov. The replacement of Charles X with a cadet branch indicates the sentiment of the time: paying lip service to tradition but ultimately embracing liberalism.
The house of Orléans was a cadet branch of the house of Bourbon. Historically, cadet branches gain power when the main line dies out due to no rightful heirs, as the House of Bourbon rose up when the Capets died off. In this case, there was an actual revolution against the rightful king, Charles X, and he was replaced/supplanted with the leader of the cadet branch, Louis Phillippe. Aside from supplanting the rightful king, Louis was a big fan of bankers and industrialists, particularly the Rothschild family.
Following the July Revolution, James de Rothschild gave loans to Louis-Phillippe and was elevated to a Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor. Rothschild certainly benefited from this arrangement: in 1815, the Paris Banking house had roughly £55,000 and by the 1878, it was £16,914,000.[1] Theories that the house of Rothschild was behind the July Revolution obviously make sense, given these ties. Additionally, according to The 48 Laws of Power, he allowed such men as Rothschild and industrialists to speak down to him. Is it any wonder, even if he was “conservative” that he weakened the legitimacy of the crown? He oversaw the creation of the French Foreign Legion which further eroded the notion of “the French” – from being a people to being just citizenship. Jumping ahead slightly, you see other issues with the men of this family in their falling out with Charles Maurras, who had supported them. Jean, Duke of Guise broke ties with Maurras’ Action block in 1937, losing supporters. His son, Henri, Count of Paris, launched a magazine, Courier Royale and was allied with anti-fascist “conservatives” like General La Rocque.
What of the current heads? Continuing on with the house of Orléans, the current head is Jean Carl Pierre Marie d’Orléans. He’s 56 but looks about 10 years older. He has several advanced degrees and has had good political positions like being pro-Yellow Vest, at least partially, and being opposed to abortion and gay marriage. He seems largely fine, but his father had quite a few issues.
His father, Henri (the son of the above Henri), had gotten divorced and then remarried to someone else, a divorcee herself, without his own father’s permission, initially being disinherited. Henri also was not allowed to walk his daughter down the aisle which indicates certain real bad-blood between the members of that family. Henri did other odd things upon becoming the head of the house. Henri annulled his father’s decision to deprive his brothers Michel (Count of Évreux) and Thibaut (the late Count of La Marche) of their succession rights because Michel married a noblewoman without permission and because Thibaut married a commoner.[. Henri became the grand master of the French Masonic lodge before becoming the head of the house of Orléans. I know we have masons in the Right here, but European masonry is a different animal. This is particularly true for French freemasonry.
Now you may want to say, this is all Henri, not Jean, so it’s not fair to hold him accountable, but the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. This is, after all, the reason why I discussed the historical origins of the houses in the beginning and the issues between Orléans and Maurras.
Moving to the house of Bonaparte, there are two claimants: Charles or Jean-Christophe. The dispute is somewhat moot as Jean-Christophe is the eldest son of Charles. Jean-Christophe’s grandfather wrote in his will that he wanted his grandson to succeed him rather than his son (due to concerns with Charles’ principles and a marriage the grandfather disapproved of). In any event, his father is 71, so whether the great-great-grandnephew or the great-great-great grandnephew of Napoleon I is the current head, it will likely be undisputed in the next few years. Both worked or work as bankers, with Jean-Christophe working for the Blackstone Group. Also, for some reason, Charles adopted a Vietnamese baby who is a princess Napoleon.
What about the house of Bourbon? Louis-Alphonse, also styled as Louis XX, has an interesting pedigree: he is the great-grandson of King Alfonso XIII of Spain, a great-grandson of Francisco Franco, and a great-great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
Louis is both a Spanish and French citizen. He has also spoken against abortion and gay marriage. He has identified himself as a monarchist and has indicated he would like to be king. Additionally, he’s opposed the movement of Franco’s tomb from its resting place in the Valley of the Fallen and even spearheaded a petition calling for the resignation of the prime minister of Spain at the time (I know, a petition isn’t much, but it’s a lot more than any of these other people are doing). Likewise, he has expressed support for the Yellow Vest movement and called for a return to “Christian Society” in a speech to the World Congress of Families.
There have also been disputes between the Bourbons and Orléans in recent years, such as the former head of the house of Orléans, Henri, suing the Bourbons over the use of the undifferenced royal arms and losing that lawsuit. This indicates that while these men are not in positions of power presently, they certainly do seek to effectuate something.
So, what does this mean going forward? Well, perhaps nothing. It is unlikely there will be a French Monarchist revival anytime soon. Still, it’s interesting to see the different streams of history and consider what may be.
The post Montjoie Saint Denis! France and Monarchy appeared first on Identity Dixie.
Author’s Note: This is the seventh part in a multipart series examining the decline of the American Empire and what it means for the world on a regional basis. This article will focus on Africa.
The next region where we will examine the decline of American power is Africa. In many ways, Africa is the wildcard of the world in just how nakedly opportunistic it all is – African nations will side with whomever pays them the most. This goes back to when the region was picking sides between the U.S. and the USSR in the post-colonial era. There were exceptions, but for the most part, post-colonial African leaders would voice support for communism if the Soviets paid them enough and would champion capitalism if Uncle Sam bribed them. They had no real loyalty to either system.
But, the rivalry between the American Empire and China in Africa promises to be even more self-serving than the rivalry between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War, African leaders wanted an anti-colonial bone thrown their way, something that gave the USSR some advantages (at least early on), as they could more easily adopt to anti-colonial (read anti-capitalist and anti-White) language. This is also why the United States became so anti-colonial, boasting of its own history as a colony that fought a war for independence against its master (the differences between colonial Virginia and Angola were ignored for propaganda purposes) and the reason why the U.S. leaned hard on both Britain and France to give up their empires. Remember, both nations, Britain until the Suez Crisis and France until the Algerian War, tried to maintain their empires after World War II; but, ultimately, gave up after they realized the Americans would not support them. This was a move the U.S. conducted out of a perceived fear that it would sow the seeds to help the Soviets take Africa.
Eventually, this did not happen, largely because while the anti-colonial and anti-White rhetoric was important, what really mattered, at the end of the day, was getting paid. And the United States, having a far larger economy, could pay the Africans more than the Soviets. However, this is not the case with the American Empire versus China rivalry in Africa. China can not only compete with the U.S. in paying off corrupt African leaders, but it can also out-bribe the Americans (as hard as that can be believed). China is essentially colonizing Africa again – they want access to Africa’s vast wealth of natural resources. The United States cannot compete with China on this front; thus, China is gaining more and more ground in Africa, driving the American Empire out of yet another region.
Perhaps the strongest area where we can see the new paradigm developing is in Ethiopia. Currently, Ethiopia is building the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Nile. The dam itself is a feat of engineering wonder and will supply the country with cheap electricity; however, there is one problem – Sudan will be hurt by it (but will survive). However, Egypt, completely confined to a single narrow strip of land along the Nile, will be utterly decimated by the reduction of water and could possibly trigger the greatest water crisis the world has ever seen. I expect to see revolution in Egypt over this, something the Egyptian elite are making worse by deciding that now is a great time to build a new capitol for themselves, basically an adult playground complete with waterparks in a country with major water issues (that are about to get worse). I can also see it triggering a refugee crisis that will make the one in Syria pale in comparison.
All of that is important, but it is also important for another reason. Egypt is a U.S. ally, while Ethiopia is close to China. This is arguably the single greatest example of how badly the American Empire is being driven out of Africa, and China advancing in. The fact is, Ethiopia is willing to cause a major crisis in a U.S.-backed nation because they have the support of China. And, the other nations of Africa see this. They now know it will be better to be a Chinese ally than the Empire’s toady, and more will follow suit. Let me say I do not entirely fault the Ethiopians for what they are doing, but this must be viewed in the greater context of declining American power. The building of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will be the beginning of the end of the U.S. in Africa, it will reveal to the rest of Africa that China is a better ally than the United States, and that China can actually offer protection.
I do think Africa will be China’s possession for the foreseeable future. I do not think there will be an independent regional power in Africa anytime soon. The problem is that Arica has a growing population and not much else. Sure, it has abundant natural resources, but this has always been the case and no hegemon has emerged.
Africa’s problems are numerous. The governments are kleptocratic, which discourages investing and saving. One pertinent example is South Africa. The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is a political party that is even more radical than the African National Congress (ANC). For example, they’re demanding the stealing of White-owned farmland and giving it to blacks without compensation, the same policy Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) utilized. The results were so disastrous in Zimbabwe that not even the ANC did it when they took power in South Africa. But, with the rise of the EFF, the ANC will soon be forced to do so in order to say in power. If they do not, the EFF will come to power and do it anyway. The disaster of Zimbabwe will likely be repeated.
Violence still plagues much of the continent, although the media does not talk about it as often as they did in the 1990s, and civil wars are still common. Furthermore, travel is difficult. The jungles make roads hard to build, which means trade has major hurdles to overcome. All of these things combine to make it hard to develop capital, keeping Africa in a poor state. To top it all off, the Sahara is growing, meaning the amount of arable land is shrinking. The lack of arable land means that it will be difficult for Africa to feed its growing population. Furthermore, famine is still ordinary in Africa.
Nigeria, in particular, stands out as a potential flare-up. The nation’s population is already huge and rapidly expanding. The current population is 211 million. As early as 1950, Nigeria had a population of under 50 million and is projected to have a population of over 250 million by 2050. The population is becoming increasingly crowded in the city of Lagos, which is severely straining the infrastructure. The situation is unstable and there is no easy way out of this. Traditionally, nations have delt with rapid population increases by embarking on imperialist adventures, but it is unclear where Nigeria can really expand. Other nations in Africa have similar levels of population growth, and without the infrastructure (or competency) needed to increase Nigerian territory, it just points to an angry population ready to revolt.
Finally, virtually every nation in Africa has a weak nation-state identity. A man from Tanzania, for example, will identify primarily with his tribe rather than as a Tanzanian. What this means, in practice, is that there is no national unity – and when leaders take power, they focus on enriching their tribe rather than the good of the nation, thereby leading to kleptocratic politics. This also means that there is no way to unite the nation against a threat, the tribes will turn on each other rather quickly.
All of this combines into yet another major crisis in Africa. It is for these reasons we will witness a Chinese-controlled Africa rather than an African-Africa. That Africa will be ruled by China (or possibly Turkey or Iran in its Islamic north) is of no consequence to the greater story of a rapidly shrinking American sphere of influence. It will be another area where America used to be a great power. The United States was able to best the Soviet Union in Africa due to unmitigated corruption and bribery but has lost this advantage to China.

We offer below, without further comment, Part III of III and the conclusion of:
A Vindication of Virginia and the South, By Commodore M.F. Maury To counteract this attempt by the New England people to do the like, the Legislature of Virginia and other Southern States felt themselves constrained to curtail the privileges of the slave, to increase the patrols, and for the public safety to enact severe laws against the black man. This grated upon the generous feelings of our people the more, because they were thus compelled in self-defence to spread hateful laws upon the statute-book of their State, and subject her fair fame to invidious criticisms by posterity, and this in consequence of the repeated attempt of the Northern people to tamper with the Negroes and interfere with our domestic affairs. It was a shaft that sank deep and rankled long; it brought to mind colonial times, and put into Southern heads the idea of another separation. But this was not all.
Societies were formed in the North to encourage our Negroes to escape and to harbor the runaways; emissaries came down to inveigle them away; and while they were engaged at this, the Northern States aided and abetted by passing Acts prohibiting their officers to assist the Southern citizen in the capture of runaways, and hindering him from doing it himself. At length things came to such a pass that a Southern gentleman, notwithstanding his right, dared not when he went to the North, either on business or pleasure to carry with him, as he formerly did, a body servant. More harsh still—delicate mothers and emaciated invalids with their nurses, though driven from their Southern homes, as they often are, by pestilence or plague, dared not seek refuge in the more bracing climates of the North; they were liable to be mobbed and to see their servants taken away by force, and when that was done, they found that Northern laws afforded no protection. In short, our people no longer had equal rights in a common country.*
*Resolutions of Virginia for a Declaration of Independence, unanimously adopted 16th May, 1776.—Page 1, Code of Virginia, 1860.
Finally, the aggressive and fanatical spirit of the North ran to such a pitch against us, that just before the Southern people began to feel that patience and forbearance were both exhausted, a band of raiders, fitted out and equipped in the North, came down upon Virginia with sword and spear in hand. They commenced in the dead of night to murder our citizens, to arm the slaves, encouraging them to rise up, burn and rob, kill and slay throughout the South. The ringleader was caught, tried and hung. Northern people regarded him as a martyr in a righteous cause. His body was carried to the North; they paid homage to his remains, sang paeans to his memory, and amidst jeers and taunts for Virginia, which to this day are reverberated through the halls of Congress, enrolled his name as one who had deserved well of his country.
These acts were highly calculated to keep the Southern mind in a feverish state and in an unfriendly mood; and there were other influences at work to excite sectional feelings and beget just indignation among the Southern people. The North was commercial, the South agricultural. Through their fast-sailing packets and steamers, Northern people were in constant communication with foreign nations; the South rarely, except through the North. Northern men and Northern society took advantage of this circumstance to our prejudice. They defamed the South and abused the European mind with libels and slanders and evil reports against us of a heinous character. They represented Southern people as a lawless and violent set, where men and women were without shame. They asserted, with all the effrontery of impudent falsehood, that the chief occupation of the gentlemen of Virginia was the breeding of slaves like cattle for the more Southern markets. To this day the whole South is suffering under this defamation of character; for it is well known that emigrants from Europe now refuse to come and settle in Virginia and the South on account of their belief in the stories against us with which their minds have been poisoned.
This long list of grievances does not end here. The population of the North had, by reason of the vast numbers of foreigners that had been induced to settle there, become so great that the balance of power in Congress was completely destroyed. The Northern people became more tyrannical in their disposition, Congress more aggressive in their policy. In every branch of the Government the South was in a hopeless minority, and completely at the mercy of an unscrupulous majority for their rights in the Union. Emboldened by their popular majorities on the hustings, the master spirits of the North now proclaimed the approach of an “irrepressible conflict” with the South, and their representative men in Congress preached the doctrine of a “higher law,” confessing that the policy about to be pursued in relation to Southern affairs was dictated by a rule of conduct unknown to the Constitution, not contained in the Bible, but sanctioned, as they said, by some higher law than the Bible itself.
Thus finding ourselves at the mercy of faction and fanaticism, the Presidential election for 1860 drew nigh. The time for putting candidates in the field was at hand. The North brought out their candidate, and by their platform pledged him to acts of unfriendly legislation against us. The South warned the North and protested, the political leaders in some of the Southern States publicly declaring that if Mr. Lincoln, their nominee, were elected, the States would not remain in the Union. He was truly a sectional candidate. He received no vote in the South, but was, under the provisions of the Constitution, duly elected nevertheless; for now the poll of the North was large enough to elect whom she pleased.
When the result of this election was announced, South Carolina and the Gulf States each proceeded to call a convention of her people; and they, in the exercise of their inalienable right to alter and abolish the form of government and to institute a new one, resolved to withdraw from the Union peaceably, if they could. They felt themselves clear as to their right, and thrice-armed; for they remembered that they were sovereign people, and called to mind those precious rights that had been solemnly proclaimed, and in which and for which we and our fathers before us had the most abiding faith, reverence and belief. Prominent among these was, as we have seen, the right of each one of these States to consult her own welfare and withdraw or remain in the Union in obedience to its dictates and the judgment of her own people.
So they sent commissioners to Washington to propose a settlement, the Confederate States offering to assume their quota of the debt of the United States, and asking for their share of the common property. This was refused. In the meantime Virginia assembled her people in grand council too; but she refused to come near the Confederate States in their councils. She had laid the corner-stone of the Union, her sons were its chief architects; and though she felt that she and her sister States had been wronged without cause, and had reason, good and sufficient, for withdrawing from a political association which no longer afforded domestic tranquility, or promoted the general welfare, or answered its purposes, yet her love for the Union and the Constitution was strong, and the idea of pulling down, without having first exhausted all her persuasives, and tried all means to save what had cost her so much, was intolerable.
She thought the time for separation had not come, and waited first to try her own “mode and measure of redress;” she considered that it should not be such as the Confederate States had adopted. Moreover, by standing firm she hoped to heal the breach, as she had done on several occasions before. She asked all the States to meet her in a peace congress. They did so, and the North being largely in the majority, threw out Southern propositions and rejected all the efforts of Virginia at conciliation. North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas all remained in the Union, awaiting the action of our State, who urged the Washington Government not to attempt to coerce the seceded States, or force them with sword and bayonet back into the Union—a thing, she held, which the charter that created the Government gave it no authority to do.
Regardless of these wise counsels and of all her rightful powers, the North mustered an army to come against the South; whereupon, seeing the time had come, and claiming the right which she had especially reserved not only for herself, but for all the States, to withdraw from the Union, the grand old Commonwealth did not hesitate to use it. She prepared to meet the emergency. Her people had already been assembled in convention, and they, in the persons of their representatives, passed the Ordinance Of Secession, which separated her from the North and South, and left her alone, again a free, sovereign and independent State.
This done, she sounded the notes of warlike preparation. She called upon her sons who were in the service of the Washington Government to confess their allegiance to her, resign their places, and rally around her standard. The true men among them came. In a few days she had an army of 60,000 men in the field; but her policy was still peace, armed peace, not war. Assuming the attitude of defence, she said to the powers of the North, “Let no hostile foot cross my borders.”
Nevertheless they came with fire and sword; battle was joined; victory crowned her banners on many a well-fought field; but she and her sister States, cut off from the outside world by the navy which they had helped to establish for the common defence, battled together against fearful odds at home for four long years, but were at last overpowered by mere numbers, and then came disaster. Her sons who fell died in defence of their country, their homes, their rights, and all that makes native land dear to the hearts of men.

Colonel Stuart, if I had my way, we would show no quarter to the enemy … the black flag, sir. If the North triumphs it is not alone the destruction of our property; it is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity, the ultimate loss of free and responsible government on this continent; it is the triumph of commerce, banks, factories. We should meet the federal invader on the outer verge of just and right defense and raise at once the black flag; no quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides!
Readers familiar with the monologue in my chosen epigraph to head this article, will at once recognize it from a scene early in the 2003 movie, Gods and Generals. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, it has been three years at least since I last read Dr. Dabney’s Stonewall Jackson biography. As such, and unlike with a scene that comes later in the same movie, I do not recall, in this specific case, whether the contents of General Jackson’s monologue above-quoted is a word-for-word rendition extracted from Dabney’s book or not. Whether it is or isn’t is of no significance to what I’ve written below and you’re about to read in any case. I trust I needn’t explain to this intelligent readership the purpose of including a relevant epigraph to head the lengthy essay which follows, once you’ve taken time to read the meat of its contents, that is.
When William James famously noted the absurdity that is human gullibility, he merely demonstrated that he’d managed to put his finger on a problem others (Jefferson, et al) had noticed long before him. Namely, that gullible people (whose name is Legion, for they are many) absurdly believe a thing based on the number of times they’ve heard or read it repeated. A conscientious writer and keen observer of the “human scene” once noted that his “new watch word is responsibility,” since he had recently discovered that readers of his scribblings tended to believe a thing he had written must be true, otherwise, to their minds, he’d have never bothered to write it down in the first place. Your individual experiences in this vein might be somewhat similar to mine, in that I, as one who speaks only for himself and no other, can certainly relate to the dilemma our conscientious writer just mentioned faced upon that realization or epiphany of sorts.
A good friend and I were once in a conversation with a third person – a conversation in which my friend essentially (and uncharacteristically) libeled a fourth person whose name had come up during the three-way exchange in the fourth man’s absence. When I strongly objected to what amounted to my friend’s practical libel against the absent person in question, he retorted in his own defense that, “it was in the papers; you don’t believe the papers?!” To which I simply and calmly replied, “No, not necessarily. Do you? If the papers print that you are a thief, a murderer, and a wife beater to boot, am I to automatically believe those accusations against you to be true because they were printed ‘in the papers’?”
My friend in question was not the sharpest knife in the drawer, obviously; but, by the same token, he wasn’t the dullest one either. He understood what I was getting about no sooner than I’d said it, and just as quickly admitted his mistake and stood down. Personal anecdotes of the sort could certainly be multiplied, but you get the point, and I digress.
One of the problems I discovered about modern Americans a long time ago is that they/we love a good political slogan. We, in fact, cannot seem to get enough of them. As such they/we tend to be very open and vulnerable to political sloganeering. The explanation for our individual and collective vulnerability on point isn’t at all complicated or difficult to understand – a good “pithy” political slogan circumvents the thinking and reasoning process; it gives the appearance of simplifying a complex principle that it takes serious study and thought to understand the depth of in truth. It’s easier to not study than it is to study, and to not think than it is to think, to put it in simple terms. Besides, most people who care enough to even try to understand governmental things are pressed for time as it is, without trying to squeeze study time into their busy schedules to boot. So, there ya go. And if, therefore, a given political slogan is repeated often enough, they’ll/we’ll eventually (and absurdly) begin to believe it and to parrot it ourselves, the truthfulness or falsehood of the slogan(s) in question notwithstanding. Why do you think it is that our intrepid leaders are always yapping about “our democracy,” and the like?
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Democracy for which it stands,..
Wait! What?!
Two such oft-repeated slogans I complained about incessantly for years (for all the good it did me) state respectively that (1) Federal law trumps State law; and (2) Immigration is a Federal issue. And as I also used to constantly point out, these two slogans are half-truths at best, and a half-truth is as good as a full blown lie. By way of explanation of what I just wrote, I personally believe that when Holy Writ enjoins against bearing false witness, knowingly passing half-truths off as “the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God” certainly falls well within the scope of that injunction. I’ll gladly eat some crow and humbly stand corrected if you can prove me wrong on the point. But you’d be better served in any case to narrow your focus and attack on the actual weak point of my argument as above-stated. Which is to say, that point at which I dogmatically declare the slogans in question to be half-truths.
Those two slogans might be half-truths in theory presuming obedience to the principles contained in the original Constitution, but we haven’t obeyed the principles of the original Constitution since 1861 at the very latest. You “get that,” right? For those of you who have never come to the realization, or have a hard time accepting it for whatever reason, I’m not going to beat around the bush any longer in this essay. The NEWSFLASH! you’d do well to come to terms with is that “Federal law,” so called, does in fact trump State law whenever the two conflict, and Immigration is indeed a “federal” issue. That is the reality of the world we all live in, like it or not. The reason for this is that the federal principle that was originally such an integral part of the Constitution, was overthrown by the Union when the South lost the WBTS. That, you see, was the ominous eventuality Gen. Jackson was prophetically alluding to in that quotation I posted as this article’s epigraph.
I’ve written about this a number of times over the years, but most recently a little over three years ago at my kids’ private blog. In that article (my article), I linked back to another article published in the same month and year (December, 2018) by a “conservative” writer whose article in question praised President Johnson’s amnesty proclamation of 1868. Our writer so misunderstood the terms of Johnson’s proclamation that he, in his ignorance of the subject and subject matter, inserted an “[e.g. federal]” next to the original proclamation’s use of the word “National” to describe the government ex-Confederates would be inspired thereby to regain their former respect for and attachment to. To wit:
In his Christmas Day Proclamation, Johnson said his action would “renew and fully restore confidence and fraternal feeling among the whole, and their respect for and attachment to the national [e.g., federal] government, designed by its patriotic founders for the general good.”
Now, besides the comparatively insignificant fact that our author’s “[e.g.]” is incorrect (should have been [i.e.], but nevertheless), his vastly more important and more fundamental mistake in the article was in working under the false presumption that President Johnson and Confederates alike conflated the meaning of the two terms (National and Federal) in the same way we moderns conflate those terms in our generations. Be assured that is far from the truth of the matter; that Pres. Johnson and leading Confederates both understood the difference in the respective meanings and implications of the two terms; that, moreover, the writer of that proclamation knew exactly what he was saying and what he was not saying when he chose the word “National” to describe the Washington government he was alluding to in that line. He certainly did not mean “Federal” when he wrote “National,” as though he believed the two terms meant precisely the same thing and were therefore perfectly interchangeable without the slightest change of meaning. No one is authorized to project his own misconceptions onto another. In other words, just because Andrew Glass thinks the two terms are perfectly interchangeable does not mean that Senator Seward and the former Confederates thought so.
Hopefully, you’re beginning to understand more clearly now why it is that, between the two sides in that bloody conflict most moderns wrongly refer to as the “Civil War,” the true patriots and defenders of the Constitution and its “blended” form of government were in fact the Confederates. To help us gain an even clearer understanding of the point at issue, and to clear your mind of the thought that I’m just talking out my hindparts, let us consult he who we affectionately refer to as the “Father of the Constitution” on the matter.
Mr. Madison wrote (Federalist no. 39):
[…]The idea of a national government involves in it, not only an authority over the individual citizens, but an indefinite supremacy over all persons and things, so far as they are objects of lawful government. Among a people consolidated into one nation, this supremacy is completely vested in the national legislature. Among communities united for particular purposes, it is vested partly in the general and partly in the municipal legislatures. In the former case, all local authorities are subordinate to the supreme; and may be controlled, directed, or abolished by it at pleasure. In the latter, the local or municipal authorities form distinct and independent portions of the supremacy, no more subject, within their respective spheres, to the general authority, than the general authority is subject to them, within its own sphere.
Got that? A national government has absolute authority over its citizens, and an “indefinite supremacy over all persons and things” within its boundless jurisdiction; under a national government all local authorities are subordinate to, and may at will be dissolved or abolished by, the supreme or central government. The mere fact that State and Local governments exist is no indication they’re not under Washington’s all-powerful thumb, nor that they are not subject to its whims within their own jurisdictions whenever it decides to “occupy a field and intend a complete ouster.” And it (what you call the “federal government”) can decide to do that at any time; literally on a whim. That it doesn’t do this all the time and with every single issue that comes up has nothing whatever to do with the tenth amendment or anything else in the Constitution. Mr. Madison’s point above is not that such a government will necessarily control, direct or abolish the subordinate authorities at will, but that it can do any or all of the above at will.
You think you’re “free” and enjoy “unalienable rights?” Moreover, you think the tenth amendment is our saving grace? Ha! Time to get a grip and to come to terms with the way things really are, as opposed to the way they once were, and the way you and I would like for them to be again.
As previously stated, President Johnson understood very well the difference between a national government and a federal one. Moreover, he also understood that the Confederates to whom he was unconditionally granting amnesty in his 1868 Christmas Day Proclamation perfectly understood the distinction as well. He would never have used the word “federal” to describe the government he was alluding to in that sentence. Again, ex-Confederates’ respect for and attachment to the federal government – so long as it retained the federal principle and remained a truly federal government – was never in question, and he knew it; what was at issue was their failure to embrace (and to kiss their chains) the newly organized, vastly more powerful and unaccountable national authority devoid of the federal principle to hold it in check. In short, and as I iterated in a related entry at my kids’ private blog aforementioned, the writer of that proclamation chose the wording of that line very carefully and very wisely.
Further consulting Mr. Madison on the matter, we read:
In this relation, then, the proposed government cannot be deemed a NATIONAL one; since its jurisdiction extends to certain enumerated objects only, and leaves to the several States a residuary and inviolable sovereignty over all other objects.
Indeed. See also Federalist no.s 45 & 46 in this connection. But that was then, and this is now. By “the proposed government,” Madison is of course referring to the “blended” (both National and Federal) Balanced Constitutional Government the Founders mutually agreed to at the Constitutional Convention, and that the several States later ratified under certain preconditions. Namely, and in short, that the backbone of free and responsible government on this continent – the federal principle – remain forever inviolable, with secession the just and lawful remedy should that agreement be irreparably broken.
Beyond that, recall that the Article VI supremacy clause declares that, ‘This Constitution, and all laws which shall hereafter be made under authority of the United States … shall be the Supreme Law of the Land.’?
Not hardly! The supremacy clause declares that only laws made pursuant to the Constitution (Federalist no. 33)[*] – which originally established a Federal (as opposed to a national) Representative Republic – are the supreme law of the land. None other needed apply so long as that “greater caution” was observed and adhered to by the national government.
The open violation thereof by the North, and the absolute certainty that its violation would continue and only get worse and more blatant, dear reader, is precisely the reason our honorable and gallant Southern forbears seceded from the Union; and, moreover, the Yankees knew it; the Northern states wanted to, and intended to, overthrow the federal principle and fill the vacuum left in its absence with an all-powerful national government possessing “indefinite supremacy over all persons and things” (including such things as State and Local governments, etc.), and thereby destroy the Constitution as such.
This objective they ultimately accomplished in spades; it is just sad that “conservatives” in modern America think the federal principle is still alive and well, and a viable Constitutional tool for keeping the government in check, or for otherwise bringing it back in line once it has “exceeded the bounds of its authority.” Nothing could possibly be farther from the truth because, as Mr. Madison made perfectly plain in his paper quoted above, the all-powerful ~~federal~~ national government cannot possibly “exceed the [limitless] bounds of its authority,” conservative and libertarian wailing and gnashing of teeth loudly proclaiming the contrary notwithstanding.
The worst part of all of this is that it is as plain as the nose on one’s face, and yet those of us who defend the honor and integrity of our gallant Southern forbears and their loyalty to the Constitution and the union of federated states that instrument originally created, cannot be left alone and in peace to lick the wounds of so great a loss as, to borrow once more from General Jackson’s statements in my epigraph, “free and responsible government on this continent.” Instead, we are incessantly subjected to insults and libels and unhinged attacks declaring us to align ourselves with “treason” and “traitors,” and therefore to be worthy of brutality and death. Talk about projecting and the pot calling the kettle black!
[*] “But it will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the large society which are NOT PURSUANT to its constitutional powers, but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies, will become the supreme law of the land. These will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.” -Madison, Federalist no. 33 [Tell that to the POTUS, the SCOTUS, and the U.S. Congress, sir; they seem not to have gotten that memo.]
The post National, or Federal? appeared first on Identity Dixie.
I could not be prouder of my beautiful home country, Florida. As I am writing this article, the local news announced the signing of a bill designed to punish a degenerate rat in the center of our state. The Florida House followed the Florida Senate with a bill to strip Disney of its sweetheart self-governance bill that included provisions such as self-certified construction permits, a complete in-state tax abatement, and its own, unregulated civic services departments (fire, police, EMTs, etc.). Governor Ron DeSantis indicated he would sign the bill. It is not just the Disney move, however, that has me so proud of the Sunshine State. Throughout this article, I will lay out the recent steps Florida has taken which no other state has dared to do. Florida grows more and more independent each day, and FLEXIT (Florida’s Exit) seems to be gaining support among normiecons and leftists alike. Yet, before I cover the extraordinary moves Florida has made toward decoupling from the federal system, I want to gloat a little more about the Disney bill.
Moving forward, Disney will now have to deal with the same bureaucratic inertia they love supporting for everyone else. Every time Disney wants to build a new ride or hotel, it will have to go through the county-to-state inspection process. For Disney, that means they will have to work within the confines of Far Left Osceola and Orange Counties, where they will not only have to deal with local technocratic malaise, but also county board meetings that can be disrupted by “concerned citizens.” One can easily see a new ride getting postponed indefinitely because Karen Steinberg is concerned about the impact of a new roller coaster on an obscure whale off the coast of Alaska. More importantly, if Disney wants to get more aggressive in its child grooming content, conservative citizens can work within the system to effectively shut Disney down. In effect, every time Disney wants to build, every anti-pedophilia activist can overflood board meetings to ensure Disney projects are completely halted. The state, meanwhile, can slow or even halt Disney World activities with traffic impact studies on I-4, state sanctioned employee safety inspections, environmental assessments, etc., etc. All of those agencies are led by one man whom Disney promised to help remove: Ron DeSantis. But it gets better…
Heretofore, Disney has enjoyed its own police force. It is also known for aggressively enforcing its amusement park rules. As a private entity, Disney has enjoyed the luxury of limiting public exposure of incidents involving unruly Disney “guests,” and the enforcement mechanisms they use to extract said guests. In fact, Disney has its own temporary jail system. I suspect neither Osceola nor Orange Counties have the law enforcement capacity to absorb Disney’s vast responsibilities. Consequently, most likely there will be a deputization process, by which Disney’s police force is effectively absorbed by a cross-county law enforcement agreement – much like that which governed law enforcement activity at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport prior to the emergence of the TSA. What does that mean for Disney? The first time they remove Shaquanda and Shaniqua for fighting over Tyrell, it will be a public event. The first time they need to use aggressive control tactics on a noncompliant DeShawn, it will be a public event. The first time they extricate a black family for unruly behavior, it will be a public event. In other words, Disney should prepare for the Black Lives Matter treatment they have financially supported to put other amusement parks without sweetheart deals out of business.
As Harmonica noted in a related piece, where is Disney going to go? Florida has the third lowest corporate tax structure. Florida has no state income tax, so not only does Disney get away with paying its employees less than it does in high taxed California, but its executives also get to keep every dime not taken by the federal government. Physically moving Disney is an impossibility. Most importantly, the Covid-19 shutdowns proved Florida does not need Disney economically. My country did just fine, even though some gay bars went out of business in Orlando.
Still, there is more to tell. Florida has done far more than just smack down a woke corporation. Florida has increasingly divorced itself from the federal leviathan. Unlike Greg Abbott’s moves in Texas, which seem gimmickry (e.g., bussing illegals to DC) and entirely about reelection in 2022, Florida has been making these moves since 2019. Here are just a few highlights of the actions of an ascendant independent country.
Florida Left OSHA In November 2021, DeSantis signed a bill, passed by the Florida legislature, that removed Florida from the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Over the next two-to-five years, Florida will fully decouple from the voluntary association that no other so-called conservative governor has yet to do over the Covid-19 mandates that OSHA sought to impose. Whereas approximately twenty-two states have their own OSHA-approved state plans (a means to save federal tax dollars by using local enforcement), it appears Florida intends to carve out its own path, complying with legally bound safety requirements. In other words, in the event of another “pandemic,” Florida reserves the right to say, “No,” unless Congress passes a law to demand such action.
Florida School Boards withdrawal from the National School Boards Association The Florida School Boards Association (FSBA) decision to withdraw from the federally-backed National School Boards Association (NSBA) was not unique. Twenty states did so after the NSBA asked the Biden Administration to direct the corrupt Department of Justice to investigate concerned parents over the woke agenda that was creeping into the curriculum. Fourteen states followed through with their plans. Our FSBA, however, not only unanimously chose to leave the entity (a rare unanimous decision), but did so immediately. This act likely led to the next move by Florida.
Florida Rejected 40% of the 2022 Textbooks Approved by the U.S. Department of Education The Florida Department of Education recently rejected 40% of new math textbooks for children K-5th Grade because they contained LGBT and CRT propaganda into their lessons, as well as Common Core. The U.S. Department of Education promoted these textbooks. Fifty-four of the One-hundred-thirty-two U.S. DOE approved textbooks were found to contain White hatred and pedophile grooming intermixed with lessons on arithmetic, division, and basic algebra.
Florida Health Department Rejected the “Gender-Confirmation Care” Program for Minors of the U.S. Health and Human Services As recently as April 20th, 2022, Florida rejected a program peddled by the federal government entitled “Gender-Confirmation Care.” In that program, which is being adopted by Alabama, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Texas, Connecticut, Illinois, and the other forty-nine states, children are to be provided mental health counseling to help them transition even when such transgender transition is opposed by the parents. Hormone suppressant therapies and other medical care will also get administered to children as young as five years old, with or without parental approval. Florida’s Surgeon General, Joseph Ladapo, told the federal government, “No!”
Florida Judge Lifted the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Mask Mandate Although seated in a federal capacity, it should be noted that it was Florida-based Federal Judge, Kathryn Mizelle, who overturned the Biden Administration’s extension of a pointless mask mandate. Ignoring that people sitting on a flying tube will not be saved from any illness thanks to a non-surgical grade mask lacking a fully sterile surgical environment, the Biden Admin sought to reimpose the shameful practice of masking on travelers. Mrs. Mizelle, who was born and raised in Lakeland, Florida, put an end to the stupidity of the federal mask mandate.
Florida Rejected the Covid-related Federal Unemployment Extension On May 24th, 2021, DeSantis informed the federal government that Florida would not participate in the CARES Act, a program whereby unemployed persons were gifted an extra $300 a week, added to their Florida unemployment benefits. The reason: Florida knows that individuals incentivized to do nothing, will not work. The unemployment rate in Florida is 3.3% as of March 2022. The unemployment rate in the United States is 3.6%. The difference, however, is that the federal government’s labor participation rate of 62.4% is the lowest in the past 20 years. Florida, by contrast, stands at 58.6% – about its historic norm, due to its large retiree population. In other words, the federal government needed to strip people out of the workforce in order to make its unemployment numbers look better.
Florida Recreates the State Guard Florida has just reinstated the Florida State Guard. Superficially, this seems like a nothing-burger. Scratch deeper beyond the surface, however, and you will see a very interesting platform. Whereas many states have State Guards, including Virginia, Ohio, Louisiana, and Alaska (among others), Florida’s State Guard has a unique mandate. Florida is empowering its own weapons procurement program. It has chosen not to outsource weapons purchases to the General Services Administration (GSA) or the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). From what I can tell, Florida will be the only state to run its own weapons contracts. Ostensibly, Florida chose to reinstate the State Guard to address natural disasters and civil unrest. The former is intuitive. Florida is prone to hurricanes and tornadoes – which the federal government has already indicated a propensity not to address when it dislikes the political party in power. The latter is likely tied to a new bill Florida passed in 2021.
Florida’s Anti-Riot Law of 2021 Billed as some crazed “fascist” suppression of AntiFa and Black Lives Matter, Florida’s Anti-Riot Law of 2021 does re-introduce the rule of law where the threat of extreme leftist violence can potentially manifest – as witnessed from Portland to Minneapolis, New York City to Atlanta. In that law, which is lamented by the federal agencies that enjoy burning cities to the ground during election years, the state of Florida can charge an individual with a violation if, during a protest, the individual blocks traffic, initiates violence against counter-protestors, assaults law enforcement, or damages property. Federal agents acting as rioters are not immune to state prosecution. In addition, unlike states such as North Carolina, whereby communists tore down historic monuments in front of hapless deputies, Florida has a monument protection clause. If you harm an historic monument in Florida, it is now a felony. Although an Obama-appointed federal judge blocked the law temporarily, the law appears to have a good chance of being reinstated by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Florida Stood Strong Against Covidian Insanity Probably the most fantastic pushback of Florida occurred throughout the so-called Covid “pandemic.” While the rest of the country seemed to lose its mind over an illness with a 99.97% survivability rate, Florida closed for about a month before reopening its businesses – beginning with partial openings and some limitations. Shortly thereafter, Florida seemed to open fully. With each new variant, leftist-run states shut down again – devastating small business owners, functional society, child development, relationships, and so much more.
The draconian lockdowns led to increased suicides, alcoholism, drug addiction, and spousal abuse throughout the country. Worse, various post-lockdown studies indicated that there was no net positive effect on Covid transmissions or related deaths when paranoid states forced closures. The state that remained freest throughout the “pandemic,” Florida, had the largest immunocompromised population in the country (due to retirees) and the lowest proportional deaths and infections in the United States. By contrast, New York and California were among the deadliest states in the world. Despite various attempts by the federal government – Trump and Biden – to shut down the Florida economy, Florida said, “No.” When Biden attempted to impose a new Covid order that would have forced vaccinations of employees with one-hundred employees or more, DeSantis led Florida out of OSHA, while the Florida legislature passed an employee protection act.
In its totality, Florida has led nearly every anti-federal and anti-leftist initiative in the United States. Are we perfect? Of course not. No government is perfect. DeSantis’ silly antisemitism bill, which only defined “antisemitism” and offered nothing more than to clarify the existing “hate crime” legislation to include Jews, is a meaningless bill. That stated, as with so many myopic Republicans, such political maneuvering is intended to excite the dispensationalist base, not excite Jews. I am sure that the usual yahoos of the Alt-Right will complain about DeSantis sucking up to Jews, etc., etc. Those who do so miss the point of this piece. The people of Florida chose a governor and a legislative body that constantly rejects the federal government and leftist insanity.
If you had asked me back in 2000 which state would be further to the left in 2022 – Florida or Georgia – I would have sadly told you Florida. Thank God I would have been wrong. Florida is not just growing further rightwing, it has become the vanguard of truly conservative leadership. I do not mean the wishy washy kind – although all political solutions are to some extent. I mean the “conserve” part of conservatism, with the temerity to standdown multi-billion-dollar child grooming cults. The next step is to get leftists so angry that they trade Florida for Puerto Rico as a state – #FreeFlorida… #VivaPuertoRicanStatehood.

Readers of the first part of the 1871 essay continued below, will readily recall that our able author, Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury, had gently carried us from the Revolutionary period of this country’s history, up to that moment in U.S. history at which an act of Congress known to history as the Missouri Compromise was introduced, debated and passed by both houses of that body, and signed into law by the President.
Our continuation of Maury’s essay here begins where we last left it. Namely, at that paragraph in his paper wherein our author begins to explain, with geographical acuity and mathematical precision, the extent to which the piece of legislation in question heavily favored the Northern states, and thereby and at length, played its decisive role in working the destruction of the balance of power which had previously existed between the two sections. It is at that juncture of our author’s paper and his history that we pick back up and offer, for your continued edification, Part II of III of:
A Vindication of Virginia and the South, By Commodore M. F. Maury The Continental United States and her Territories, ca. 1878 That posterity may fairly appreciate the extent of this exaction by the North, with the sacrifice made by the South to satisfy it, maintain the public faith and preserve the Union, it is necessary to refer to a map of the country, and to remember that at that time neither Texas, New Mexico, California nor Arizona belonged to the United States; that the country west of the Mississippi which fell under that compromise is that which was acquired from France in the purchase of Louisiana, and which includes West Minnesota, the whole of Iowa, Arkansas, the Indian Territory, Kansas, Nebraska, and Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Washington and Oregon, embracing an area of 1,360,000 square miles. Of this the South had the privilege of settling Arkansas alone, or less than four per cent, of the whole.
The sacrifice thus made by the South, for the sake of the Union, will be more fully appreciated when we reflect that under the Constitution Southern gentlemen had as much right, and the same right to go into the Territories with their slaves, that men of the North had to carry with them there their apprentices and servants. Though this arrangement was so prejudicial to the South, though the Supreme Court decided it to be unconstitutional, null and void, the Southern people were still willing to stand by it; but the North would not. Backed by majorities in Congress, she only became more and more aggressive.
Furthermore, the magnificent country given by Virginia to the Union came to be managed in the political interests of the North. It was used for the encouragement of European emigration, and its settlement on her side of that parallel, while the idea was sought to be impressed abroad by false representations that South of 36° 30″ in this country out-door labor is death to the white man, and that throughout the South generally labor was considered degrading. Such was the rush of settlers from abroad to the polar side of 36° 30″ and for the cheap and rich lands of the northwest territory, that the population of the North was rapidly and vastly increased—so vastly that when the war of 1861 commenced, the immigrants and the descendants of immigrants which the two sections had received from the Old World since this grant was made, amounted to not less than 7,000,000 souls more for the North than for the South.
This increase destroyed the balance of power between the sections in Congress, placed the South hopelessly in the minority, and gave the reins of the Government over into the hands of the Northern factions. Thus, the two hundred and seventy millions of acres of the finest land on the continent which Virginia gave to the Government to hold in trust as a common fund, was so managed as greatly to benefit one section and do the other harm. Nor was this all.
Large grants of land, amounting to many millions of acres, were made from this domain to certain Northern States, for their railways and other works of internal improvement, for their schools and corporations; but not an acre to Virginia. In consequence of the Berlin and Milan Decrees, the Orders in Council, the Embargo and the war which followed in 1812, the people of the whole country suffered greatly for the want of manufactured articles, many of which had become necessaries of life.
Moreover, it was at that time against the laws of England for any artisan or piece of machinery used in her workshops to be sent to this country. Under these circumstances it was thought wise to encourage manufacturing in New England, until American labor could be educated for it, and the requisite skill acquired, and Southern statesmen took the lead in the passage of a tariff to encourage and protect our manufacturing industries. But in course of time these restrictive laws in England were repealed, and it then became easier to import than to educate labor and skill.
Nevertheless the protection continued, and was so effectual that the manufacturers of New England began to compete in foreign markets with the manufacturers of Old England. Whereupon the South said, “Enough: the North has free trade with us; the Atlantic ocean rolls between this country and Europe; the expense of freight and transportation across it, with moderate duties for revenue alone, ought to be protection enough for these Northern industries. Therefore let us do away with tariffs for protection. They have not, by reason of geographical law, turned a wheel in the South; moreover, they have proved a grievous burden to our people.”
Northern statesmen did not see the case in that light; but fairness, right and the Constitution were on the side of the South. She pointed to the unfair distribution of the public lands, the unequal dispensation among the States of the Government favor and patronage, and to the fact that the New England manufacturers had gained a firm footing and were flourishing. Moreover, peace, progress and development had, since the end of the French wars, dictated free trade as the true policy of all nations.
Our Senators proceeded to demonstrate by example the hardships of submitting any longer to tariffs for protection. The example was to this effect:—The Northern farmer clips his hundred bales of wool, and the Southern planter picks his hundred bales of cotton. So far they are equal, for the Government affords to each equal protection in person and property. That’s fair, and there is no complaint. But the Government would not stop here. It went further—protected this industry of one section and taxed that of the other; for though it suited the farmer’s interest and convenience to send his wool to a New England mill to have it made into cloth, it also suited in a like degree the Southern planter to send his cotton to Old England to have it made into calico. And now came the injustice and the grievance. They both prefer the Charleston market, and they both, the illustration assumed, arrived by sea the same day and proceeded together, each with his invoice of one hundred bales, to the custom-house.
There the Northern man is told that he may land his one hundred bales duty free; but the Southern man is required to leave forty of his in the custom-house for the privilege of landing the remaining sixty.* It was in vain for the Southerner to protest or to urge, “You make us pay bounties to Northern fishermen under the plea that it is a nursery for seamen. Is not the fetching and carrying of Southern cotton across the sea in Southern ships as much a nursery for seamen as the catching of codfish in Yankee smacks? But instead of allowing us a bounty for this, you exact taxes and require protection for our Northern fellow-citizens at the “expense of Southern industry and enterprise.”
The complaints against the tariff were at the end of ten or twelve years followed by another compromise in the shape of a modified tariff, by which the South again gained nothing and the North everything. The effect was simply to lessen, not to abolish, the tribute money exacted for the benefit of Northern industries. Fifteen years before the war it was stated officially from the Treasury Department in Washington, that under the tariff then in force the self-sustaining industry of the country was taxed in this indirect way in the sum of $80,000,000 annually, none of which went into the coffers of the Government, but all into the pocket of the protected manufacturer.
The South, moreover, complained of the unequal distribution of the public expenditures; of unfairness in protecting, buoying, lighting and surveying the coasts, and laid her complaints on grounds like these: for every mile of sea-front in the North there are four in the South, yet there were four well equipped dockyards in the North to one in the South; large sums of money had been expended for Northern, small for Southern defences; navigation of the Southern coast was far more difficult and dangerous than that of the Northern, yet the latter was better lighted; and the Southern coast was not surveyed by the Government until it had first furnished Northern ship-owners with good charts for navigating their waters and entering their harbors.
The tariff at that time was forty per cent. Thus dealt by, there was cumulative dissatisfaction in the Southern mind towards the Federal Government, and Southern men began to ask each other, “Should we not be better off out of the Union than we are in it ?”—nay, the public discontent rose to such a pitch in consequence of the tariff, that nullification was threatened, and the existence of the Union was again seriously imperiled, and dissolution might have ensued had not Virginia stepped in with her wise counsels. She poured oil upon the festering sores in the Southern mind, and did what she could in the interests of peace; but the wound could not be entirely healed; Northern archers had hit too deep.
The Washington Government was fast drifting towards centralization, and the result of all this Federal partiality, of this unequal protection and encouragement, was that New England and the North flourished and prospered as no people have ever done in modern times. Scenes enacted in the Old World, twenty-eight hundred years ago, seemed now on the eve of repetition in the new. About the year 915 B. C., the twelve tribes conceived the idea of making themselves a great nation by centralization. They established a government which, in three generations, by reason of similar burdens upon the people, ended in permanent separation. Solomon taxed heavily to build the temple and dazzle the nation with the splendor of his capital; his expenditures were profuse, and he made his name and kingdom fill the world with their renown. He died one hundred years after Saul was anointed, and then Jerusalem and the temple being finished, the ten tribes— supposing the necessity of further taxation had ceased—petitioned Jeroboam for a reduction of taxes, a repeal of the tariff. Their petition was scorned, and the world knows the result. The ten tribe seceded in a body, and there was war; so thus there remained to the house of David only the tribes of Benjamin and Judah. They, like the North, had received the benefit of this taxation. The chief part of the enormous expenditures’ was made within their borders, and they, like New England, flourished and prospered at the expense of their brethren.
By the Constitution, a citizen of the South had a right to pursue his fugitive slave into any of the States, apprehend and bring him back; but so unfriendly had the North become towards the South, and so regardless of her duties under the Constitution, that Southern citizens, in pursuing and attempting to apprehend runaway Negroes in the North, were thrown into jail, maltreated and insulted despite of their rights. Northern people loaded the mails for the South with inflammatory publications inciting the Negroes to revolt, and encouraging them to rise up, in servile insurrection, and murder their owners.
Like tampering with the Negroes was one among the causes which led Virginia into her original proposition to the other colonists, that they should all, for the common good and common safety, separate themselves from Great Britain and strike for independent existence. In a resolution unanimously adopted in convention for a declaration of such independence, it is urged that the King’s representative in Virginia was “tempting our slaves by every artifice to resort to him, and training and employing them against their masters.”‘

We here in Southern Nationalist circles, and the more competent sections of the Dissident Right, are all too familiar with trending narratives on Southern, especially Confederate, imagery. The history surrounding the public displays of Confederate symbols and the narrative of said historiography has been on my mind as of late. I will admit that much of this has been spurred on by my love for rock and heavy metal and the once pervasive utilization of the Confederate flag among bands, in addition to my seeking out of now difficult to acquire Confederate merch of some of those bands, such as Pantera and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Casting a more formal essay style to the side, I will discuss here much of the heretofore forgotten history I have managed to find of the campaign against Confederate symbols.
The campaign against Southern iconography truly began in the 1980s at the local level. The attacks against the Confederate flag are difficult to research during this period due to them being quite small in scale, piecemeal, and wildly unpopular on the occasions they happened, but there were certainly nefarious schemes at the time, nonetheless. The best provable moment of this occurring took place in 1982 at Ole Miss, once the one of the crown jewels of Southern public education and a historically prideful flagbearer, pun intended, of the Southern tradition. The attack was two-pronged and wholeheartedly manifested within the Ole Miss sports sphere. To my amazement, there is an easily accessible article discussing this with some eyebrow raising bits of information which lead interesting inferences. Furthermore, the Colonel Reb Foundation, a group seeking to preserve the renowned mascot’s legacy and existence, also has some history on this matter here and here.
While some other protests were occurring on campus regarding tailgating at the Grove, or “Groving,” the most impactful “protest” came from an individual by the name of John Hawkins. The first Negro member of the Ole Miss cheerleading squad, Hawkins made waves due to his refusal to carry the Confederate flag onto the football field. For all of his grandstanding and attempts at recognition, he made an interesting comment on his actions, stating, “While I’m an Ole Miss cheerleader, I’m still a black man. In my household, I wasn’t told to hate the flag, but I did have history classes and know what my ancestors went through and what the Rebel flag represents. It is my choice that I prefer not to wave one.” This move came completely out of nowhere, as Ole Miss had been integrated in 1962, 20 years prior, and no issue had been made regarding the university’s use of Confederate imagery by black students. It is also worth noting that he stated how he was not raised to hate the flag, bringing in to question whether or not he was being told to say and do this. This statement, along with other quotes from blacks, indicate the much more amicable existence between Whites and Negroes in Dixie prior to the 21st Century.
With the exception of John Hawkins, nearly 100% of all anti-Confederate anti-Colonel Reb protests came from the sports cadre and school ~~dictators~~ administrators. Not one single instance of removing Southern imagery and culture, be they the Confederate flag, Colonel Reb, or the band playing “Dixie,” have proved even remotely popular among students and fans alike.
The 1990s marked the beginning of major establishments and the media’s attacks on the Confederate flag and encompassed what I often refer to as the “Third Reconstruction.” Whereas a few attacks took place in the 1980s, they were largely inconsequential, and there was a much more optimistic mentality in Americans as a whole during the Ronald Reagan years. Additionally, the 1980s saw a revival of pro-Southern music and representation in various forms of entertainment, with a notable lack of anti-Southern filmography during that decade. The 90s sharply diverged from this trend.
It was during this decade that a tidal wave of simultaneous attacks from state governments, local leaders, university administrators, and the media occurred so as to paint Southerners, and their symbols, in a negative light. Ole Miss banned flag waving, especially targeting the Southern Cross, at its ballgames and ceased production of Confederate themed memorabilia so as to distance itself from the Southern university image it had so long been viewed as. Television shows regularly began painting Southerners as bumbling, violent morons, often inbred, and racists, a trend not seen since the 1970s. The X Files comes to mind.
The most notorious instance of the media’s anti-Southern bias falsely mischaracterizing someone came about during the fallout of the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta, Georgia in 1996. I will not go into full detail here, but this article does justice to the events which transpired. Richard Jewell saved hundreds of lives during the Atlanta Olympics but was brought through the ringer by the news media and FBI because he fit the typical Southern stereotype. His truck’s front plate being the 1956 Georgia Flag was plastered all over the television, and he was often referred to as the “Una-Bubba” and “Bubba the Bomber.” More attempts were made to paint him as a militia supporting, terrorist seeking fame as a hero after placing the bomb at the stadium himself, playing into the fears of the Militia Movement of the time and the recent memory of the Oklahoma City bombing. He would, of course, be exonerated after the real bomber was found, but this showed the length to which the media would go to paint a malevolent view of Southerners after largely having not done so since the 1970s.
The campaigns against state usage of Southern imagery catalyzed unilaterally and concomitantly across Dixie. Taking advantage of the retirement and “assumption of room temperature” of the few remaining Southern Democrats, like John Stennis and James Eastland, Southern legislatures undertook measures, without previous warning, to eradicate public displays of the Dixie Cross. Jim Folsom Jr. of Alabama, within six days after assuming the governorship, removed the Battle flag from the state capitol. Mississippi’s and Georgia’s legislatures began massive campaigns to change their respective state flags. Governor Kirk Fordice of Mississippi, serving from 1992 to 2000, was a staunch conservative and spared Mississippi from much of the liberalizing of the time. He was elected as a backlash of sorts against the vehement attempts from Democrat Governor Ray Mabus to liberalize the state as part of the greater Democratic trend occurring in the South with the departure of the aforementioned Conservative Southern Democrats. Mabus was described as “arrogant and out of touch with Mississippi politically” by Kirk Fordice in the 1991 election campaign and was even described by The New York Times as a “Porsche politician in a Chevy pickup state.” Georgia did not fare so luckily. However, the most notable of these moves came about in the Palmetto State and Georgia.
The NAACP, after a tumultuous period of changes in leadership, crippling debt, poor organizing, and a lack of direction, came out swinging in South Carolina in 1999. Adopting the eradication of Southern imagery as its strategy after lacking a bit of direction following the Civil Rights Movement, the organization campaigned hard to have the Battle flag removed from the South Carolina capitol building. Democrat Governor Jim Hodges would buckle to pressure from activist groups by officially recognizing MLK Day and removing the flag from the capitol building. However, he did compromise by officially recognizing Confederate Memorial Day and simply moving the battle flag to the capitol grounds.
In 2001, the Democrat controlled Georgia State Assembly made the decision to change the state flag after years of pressure from media groups and the NAACP, under the direction of Democrat Governor Roy Barnes. He replaced it with an awful looking flag and lost the next gubernatorial run, as a direct response to his flag decision, against Republican Sonny Perdue, who endorsed the current state flag and had it adopted via a popular vote in 2003.
As an interesting note about the NAACP, it did not so intensely attack Confederate imagery until the mid-to-late-1990s. After the Civil Rights Era, it had little of significance to actually do, and it did little to actually improve the lives of “Colored People.” It, along with the SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference), had to remain relevant so as to continue receiving donations and funds, thus beginning its campaign against Southern images and culture in the 90s. Prior to this period, as previously mentioned, race relations in the South were fairly peaceful, and blacks did not so toxically hate Confederate imagery and its supporters.
Each and every respective instance of anti-Confederate, anti-Southern campaigns in Southern states carried out by Democrat governors and state legislatures during the 1990s and early 2000s led to the turn of these states to the Republican Party within the following gubernatorial election cycles. Jim Folsom Jr. in Alabama, Roy Barnes in Georgia, and Jim Hodges in South Carolina would all be the last Democrat governors of their states. The last to turn Republican was Mississippi, after Democrat Governor Ronny Musgrove would put the state’s flag to a referendum vote in 2001, being replaced by Republican Haley Barbour in 2004.
After 9/11, affairs returned to normal. The War on Terror distracted the Left for a generation and brought the Third Reconstruction to a close. Despite all of the Left’s efforts, the Confederate flag remained quite popular. Many continued to defiantly sport it during the 1990s and 2000s largely due to the still strong Southern culture and the attitude many still had to resist being told what to do. It was very common to still see battle flags flown at various rock, metal, and country concerts. Down, Pantera, and Lynyrd Skynyrd are but a few examples of this greater cultural shift in music, and the latter two sold a plethora of Confederate themed merchandise. Yet, Ole Miss did remove Colonel Reb as its official mascot in 2003, angering many. No mascot Ole Miss has produced since has achieved the popularity to culturally replace the iconic Colonel Reb.
The Obama Era changed things rapidly. It was during this time that the South changed greatly. Homosexuality was promoted in full force, and the president himself would openly, on live television, chastise Christian Whites, rural folk, and the traditions of both groups, stating that “they cling to their guns or religion.” What remained of Southern vernacular and accents began to quickly disappear, and it seemed as though every aspect of life took on a malicious post-modern “feel.” Public displays of Confederate imagery came under scrutiny once again. One of the more notable examples was within the aforementioned rock and metal communities. Long a symbol correlative with those genres, publications started demeaning the industry for its plethora of Southern themed merchandise and concert flag waving. Lynyrd Skynyrd infamously declared their reservations about waving the Southern Cross at concerts in 2012, to the uproarious chagrin of its fanbase, and many metal bands began quietly putting away the imagery starting around 2010. This would be piecemeal until 2015, following the Charleston Church Shooting. Afterward, the Fourth Reconstruction started, and the rest is history.
Little more may be said here. The campaign against Southern imagery precedes 2015. This is well known, but I have noticed a lack of discussion of its history and some of the finer details of it as well as the malignant tomfoolery going on behind the scenes.

The same people who’ve delivered us every foreign policy disaster since the end of the Cold War don’t have new tricks up their sleeves or any regard to how doing the same trick over and over might backfire. Here’s a tweet by Matthew Yglesias, a hack featured in prominent publications through tribal nepotism, although he’d like you to infer he’s just another Latino:
Did the CIA lay off all its coup-orchestrators? What kind of client state is this? https://t.co/cquPNnly5T
— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) March 15, 2022
You’ll never believe what connects the dots between these two. These people aren’t where they’re at because of meritocracy and their policies make sense for America. Today, let’s talk about regime change. The first thing to bear in mind is that compliance with U.S. demands won’t spare you from this fate. Muammar Qaddafi could explain that one but, unfortunately, he was sodomized to death with a bayonet. Upholding our values like religious tolerance won’t either, as Bashar Al-Assad could elaborate. Doing what’s perfectly acceptable under international law, like taking the highest bid on a particular commodity, could be your final deal. Evo Morales found out the hard way.
To address his point about client states, this relationship actually won’t guarantee much. For starters, it didn’t save Hosni Mubarak of Egypt which outraged the Saudis. Likewise with Mikheil Saakashvili in Georgia back in 2008, although he was more of an aspiring client. Afghanistan speaks volumes, obviously.
It’s amazing that the government in Kiev had so much confidence in U.S. support that it shelled the residents of Luhansk and Donetsk while moving a large army into place for an operation against them. Putin warned them but they did it anyway, thinking they had the big guy in their corner. It must’ve been a big shock when they were left to get “de-nazified” (that’s Russian for “executed”).
This brings us to Saudi Arabia. There’s an interesting book on how the crown prince (Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, “MBS”) consolidated an iron grip: Blood and Oil: Mohammed bin Salman’s Ruthless Quest for Global Power. Basically, he understood that his bloated family wasn’t running the place sustainably and set about reforming them financially and correcting their attitude problems. He wasn’t gentle about it either, which is pretty entertaining.
He’s been vexed by the fact that the U.S. would prefer the traditional arrangement of Saudi dollar loyalty and massive spending on U.S. weapons. Instead, he wants American investments in his grandiose projects to turn the kingdom into something more than an oil exporter. He’s also pissed about tepid Washington enthusiasm for his campaign in Yemen, which was ill-advised, bungled, and appalling in a humanitarian sense.
China wisely provided the understanding and investments he’d been seeking. That’s the sort of approach one appreciates when you’ve got literally hundreds of other princes from whom a more compliant replacement could be selected. He catapulted himself to power through his senile father, the U.S. preferred an uncle.
Likewise, the Russians have also cultivated a good relationship. Saudi Arabia needs the most money per barrel to fund its government spending, while Russia requires somewhere around the least. That sort of leverage makes it an important friend to retain.
Again, if you’re the client of a nation that wouldn’t mind replacing you with a relative and tossing your ambitions in the trash where would you be gravitating to at this point? Credibility is essential to this decision. Chinese carrots aside, the Russians are the gold standard.
They honor their international agreements, and they stand by their clients. Bashar Al-Assad is an example that’s got to weigh on MBS. The Saudis had backed his overthrow, which was thwarted in a bold intervention by Putin. He recently did it again with paratroopers in Kazakhstan.
Right now, MBS is watching Russia push NATO to the brink of WW3 protecting its clients, the DPR and LPR. The only one they ever let down was Viktor Yanukovych in the 2014 Maidan. It caught them off guard, but that’s currently being rectified.
So, my point is that if you’re in as tenuous a situation as MBS and you know that the people in Washington are reckless, arrogant and thinking just like Yglesias, wouldn’t you start selling in yuan?

If you’re going to put forth a narrative that isn’t credible, at least get somebody credible to do it. This would seem like a sound operational principle for the string pullers of our freedom-loving democracy but it’s not. For example, if your narrative is that black women are a highly capable demographic echelon, don’t put one of their worst charlatans front and center. That’s exactly what they did:

They’d really have a tough time ditching Kamala. She’s already the vice president and according to the narrative, as a black woman, she’s the most qualified to run this country next. Also working in her favor is that she’d have to be replaced with another black woman and she actually holds up pretty well against potential competitors in that field. I’d say we’re stuck with her for the next ten years assuming we survive, but that’s pretty iffy so don’t get yourself too worked up. This could all be over very soon.
Kamala is a disaster. Listen to this question and then her answer. How is it possible she is this bad at her job? pic.twitter.com/viAYhRijZX

Doesn’t really matter. Still, consider Biden as a proof of concept. If they can trot out a senile man elected via fraud, and one who gropes young girls on national television, and pretend like everything is fine as he slurs incoherently and most people go along with it, cackling through two terms ought to be no trouble for President Kamala.
Only Kamala Harris would find it appropriate to laugh when talking about the topic of Ukrainian Refugees.

This new thing about awe-inspiring black women is really about White men. The narrative is that we’re the worst people, and they’re at the opposite end of the spectrum from us, so it ranks them as the best. The best people rise to the top positions because that’s how it works in a freedom-loving democracy. Therefore, when a spot on the Supreme Court opens up, only black women can be considered for the job.
Their narratives always lead to predictable emperor-has-no-clothes moments, like Kamala’s cringe trip to Eastern Europe. The question is: does that ever lead to introspection on the part of the string-pullers? Accountability is clearly out of the question, so I just ponder this one.
My answer would be no, because they keep doing the same sort of idiotic stuff again and again. Perhaps that’s because they’re incapable of introspection without first being held accountable for the disaster they created. History would suggest this simply isn’t a mental exercise they perform at all, so maybe not.
Another possibility is that they feel compelled to stay on script even though they’d be better off abandoning it. They know they screwed up, but they have to stick to it because to do otherwise would be an admission they were wrong. That would explain quite a bit.
Either way, they’re accelerating this train until the wheels fall off. Well-spoken White men would’ve made better fall guys because the public can actually believe they’re in charge. After all, the Dick Cheney Military/Industrial Complex stuff was good cover for the Iraq War. They just can’t help themselves so I suppose we should be grateful.

Author’s Note: This is the second part in a multipart series examining the decline of the American Empire and what it means for the world on a regional basis. This article will focus on Russia and the Orthodox world.
I am beginning this series with the future of the American Empire’s relationship with Russia and the Orthodox world. The obvious reason being the current conflict between Russian and Ukraine. The first thing we must understand is what Russia wants in Ukraine. More specifically, we need to comprehend what part of Ukraine Russia wants. It is certainly true that Russia needs Ukraine for purely pollical reasons. Having control of Ukraine creates a key buffer zone for Russia and also provides them a greater presence in the Black Sea – this is especially true of the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia took control of back in 2014.
Remember, a strong presence in the Black Sea is essential for Russia as this is where its warm water ports are located. There is a central paradox of Russian geography: Russia has the longest coastline of any nation on earth but suffers from a lack of ports because the vast majority of its coastline is frozen for at least part of the year, and a sizable portion is frozen year-round. This importance of the Black Sea is likely also why the U.S. is willing to risk so much for a nation that is not in NATO. Ukraine remaining under the influence of the West is essential in keeping Russia from becoming a Black Sea hegemon, especially when the future of Turkey remains undetermined, something that will be discussed later in this series.
Yes, all that is true, but a key point is also understanding how Russia views the world. As of this writing, it does not appear that Russia wants to conquer all of Ukraine, but it will likely seize eastern Ukraine. Control of western Ukraine is not Russia’s goal. This matters because of the religious divide in Ukraine. In short, eastern Ukraine is Eastern Orthodox and is warmer to fellow Orthodox Russia, while western Ukraine is Eastern Catholic (follows the Byzantine Rite but is in communion with the Pope) and is decidedly less friendly to Russia and strongly identifies as Ukrainian. To be sure, part of the reason why Russia wants the Orthodox part of Ukraine is because it will be easier to rule, even as it will leave western Ukraine as a rump state. There is also the possibility that Russia will build an Orthodox-based empire that can project its power and counter what it considers a decadent and declining American Empire. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Orthodox Russia began to rise and, since Putin, has enjoyed the backing of the Russian government.
In order to understand just what is going on here, a discussion of how Russia views itself and the world is necessary. Russia observes the world in religious terms and understands its civilizational frontier accordingly. White America sees its civilizational frontier as race based. While being Anglo-Protestant in its core, it was easier to incorporate non-Anglo White Protestants like the Dutch, Huguenots, Scandinavians, and northern Germans into its concept of “us” and, even more tellingly, White Catholics (Irish, Italians, Poles, etc.) and even Jews, but not black Protestants. But, the Russian understanding of the world is different from ours. Its civilizational frontier is religious based. Thus, Russians will view ethnic Turkic Tartar Orthodox Christians as closer to Russia than it will Catholic Poles, even though as fellow Slavs, the Poles are closer genetically and linguistically to Russia than the Tartars.
Russia is then poised to become the hegemon of the Orthodox world, and this is part of the reason why the U.S. is so worried about what Russia will do to Ukraine. It will certainly be a case of deteriorating U.S. power abroad and possibly the death of NATO. As Russia grows as an Orthodox hegemon, U.S. power will diminish in two key areas of the world. The first one has already been discussed but needs to be reviewed in greater detail. Russian control over the Black Sea is essential, but Russian power could expand from there. Romania is, in many ways, a country divided between the West and the East. They are “Latin Orthodox” and much of its intelligentsia looks to France for its inspiration, especially during the 19th century. However, I suspect that, at the end of the day, Orthodoxy will win out over Latinism, especially as the West becomes more aggressively anti-Christian. That would give Russia decisive control over the coastline of the Black Sea, especially if Bulgaria sides with Russia. That Serbia will align with Russia is a forgone conclusion, many of them are still angry at the U.S. for bombing them in the 1990s. If this occurs, American power in both the Black Sea and the Balkans will been drastically reduced.
Greece is the only Orthodox nation I am willing to safely say will not position itself with Russia, but that really is a special case. There has been a long and historic rivalry between Russia and Greece to lead the Orthodox world. The early Orthodox Church was heavily Greek, but since the decline of the Byzantine Empire, and especially the fall of Constantinople, Russia, as the greatest Orthodox power by a large margin, has taken the reigns in leading the Orthodox world. This was something that the Greeks were never comfortable with, something that goes on to this day, as seen in the ongoing split between Moscow and Constantinople. Greece is the exception that proves the rule. The fact that an old religious rivalry such as the Moscow/Constantinople split is what it takes for me to say Greece will not become a Russian ally (it reveals just how powerful the idea of Russia as the leader of Orthodoxy is). Holy Mother Russia is real in the eyes of the Orthodox world.
Of course, this has major implications for the American Empire’s ability to project its own power on this area of the world. The Eastern Slavic core (Russia, Ukraine and Belarus) is now out of play for the U.S. This means that the Empire’s post-Cold War dream of uniting all of Europe against Russia is gone. The U.S. is seriously diminished as a Black Sea power as of today. And, depending on what happens to Turkey, it could be completely shut out of the Black Sea all together. Even in the best-case scenario, the U.S. will become a minor Balkan power, being only able to exercise control over Greece and possibly Croatia and Bosnia.
The American Empire is soon looking at a world where it has been pushed out of all but its core support in Western and Central Europe, and that is if there are no other significant losses, for example if Poland and Hungary finally having enough of globohomo. The U.S. would be forced back into its largely pre-1991 sphere of influence. Should this happen, it would be decisive proof that not only can American hegemony no longer grow, but it can also be pushed back, triggering an event that would demonstrate to rival powers that the Empire is now in serious decline. The only question will be if the U.S. loses this influence through geopolitics or after a military defeat. Either way, Orthodox civilization is getting a new- and yet old- hegemon.

It is hard to imagine that the United States of 2022 was once a great world power. Being an American born before 1989 must feel a bit like being a Roman born before 377 AD. Within thirty-three years, an empire that once ruled the world, either by force, trade, or cultural expansion, collapsed before their eyes. The immoral decadence of the United States and Rome, including their overwhelming debt, eventually guaranteed their collapse. Today, the vultures are circling Uncle Sam’s carcass – unfortunately, many Americans do not know it, they just feel it.
Whereas I am vehemently opposed to any American intervention in Ukraine (in fact, I support Russia), the inability of the United States to stop that invasion is seen by the world as a sign of its decrepit weakness. The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances in 1994 tied the United States to military assistance in the event that three former Soviet Socialist Republics may be threatened by a future resurgent Russia or NATO member. Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine surrendered their nuclear weapons at the end of the Cold War in exchange for a guarantee of their security. Russia invaded and the other two signatories, the United States and the United Kingdom, did nothing about it. Why? Because they couldn’t. The British do not have the manpower or resources to take on Russia alone (this is no longer 1853) and the Americans lack national cohesion (this is no longer 1941).
More importantly, however, other states are noticing this, too. I do not mean China, which is obviously enjoying the real-time demise of the United States. I am referring to smaller, but in many ways more important countries.
In the past two weeks, the United States, a country that was a net-oil exporter fourteen short months ago, had to beg Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, and Iran to increase oil output in the face of self-inflicted oil shortages and skyrocketing supply chain related inflation. Saudi Arabia and the UAE literally ignored the American requests. Reports from the Wall Street Journal and Business Insider indicated that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and the ruling Sheik of Dubai (UAE’s Prime Minister) both ignored President Joe Biden’s personal phone calls. Venezuela, for its part, appears to have given an ear to the United States, but shortly after the American diplomatic overture, it invited the Russians and the Chinese to offer a counter-position. Meanwhile, the Iranians simply doubled their requests for concessions while mocking the Americans on their variety of social media accounts. Clearly, oil producing states know the United States is dead.
To add to the humiliation that is the current American predicament, Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela, all increased some level of cooperation with Communist China in the past year. As it pertains to Venezuela, they appear to host an unofficial Chinese naval station. That should come as no surprise. America’s “greatest ally,” Israel, has hosted a Communist Chinese naval base since December 2019. Our Jewish “buddies” are hedging their bets.
Brazil and Argentina, meanwhile, have increased their trade reliance on China, such that, the United States is no longer their number one trading partner. Only a month ago, Argentina turned to China to officially end its “reliance” on the U.S. for economic and financial assistance. It joined China’s “Belt and Road” trade initiative, making it the first major player in Latin America to do so. The Monroe Doctrine could not be defended even if we wanted to do so.
In East Asia, the political mood is one in which no one believes the United States will honor its security assurances. The ever racialist, ever nationalist East Asians look at America’s failure to protect fellow White Ukraine and wonder if we would have the stomach to defend “Yellow” Asians. Whereas libertine Westerners like to peddle notions of a post-racial society, the reality is that the rest of the world still looks at things through a racial and ethnic lens. If we are not willing to defend Ukraine, why would we defend Taiwan, or more importantly, South Korea? As such, the South Koreans elected a hardline new conservative populist president, Yoon Suk-yeol, who won his election last week, largely on a message of military self-reliance. Meanwhile, the Japanese have begun exploring multilateral defense initiatives in the Indo-Pacific corridor to counter Chinese aggression if the United States cannot assist in their defense. Like the world’s oil producing regions and Latin America’s largest states, the East Asians are preparing for a post-American world.
Going back to Eastern Europe, it is apparent that they see the writing on the wall better than anyone. Having once been constrained by the Iron Curtain, Eastern Europeans remember dying empires better than most. Their televisions witnessed the “glorious exit” of the Soviet Union from Afghanistan, after the USSR claimed to have successfully installed a “democratically elected” president. The obvious disgrace of that exit did not mirror our own. The Russians largely drove home. Meanwhile, the world witnessed the complete collapse of our military adventurism while we scrambled to save State Department employees from a Kabul Embassy that once flaunted the homosexual flag in the faces of conservative Muslim people. Thirteen service members, mostly Marines, were killed in the chaotic airport exit that mirrored the Saigon debacle of 1975. These things happen to a country that has not won a real war since 1945.
It has gotten so bad that conservative Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban recently stated that his country “cannot rely on NATO,” despite the fact that he is a NATO member. As Orban was stating his justifiable concerns, the Turks, also NATO members, recently enacted the Montreux Convention of 1936. They effectively shut down the Bosporus Strait. Whereas Western media sources touted this move as anti-Russian (it keeps Russian ships out of the Mediterranean), those fools clearly have no access to a map. The Montreux Convention simultaneously forces NATO navies out of the Black Sea. Ukraine is on the Black Sea, not the Mediterranean. Therefore, Turkey, which has openly stated it remains neutral in the Ukraine dispute – while simultaneously buying superior Russian military equipment instead of inferior American military equipment (like every other NATO patsy) – has kept the American Navy out of the Black Sea and essentially defended the Russian Navy. For those unfamiliar, Russian Naval Forces and their Marines are decimating Ukrainian positions along the coastline – despite the mythology of “Snake Island.” Perhaps fighter pilot Sam “Ghost of Kiev” Hyde will be allowed to fly over Turkish airspace to kill Russkies, but Biden has not yet asked for their permission.
To allay the concerns of its Eastern European allies, rather than the current President of the United States flying to Warsaw, the United States sent Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris’ various security credentials include smoking marijuana because she is half-Jamaican and providing fellatio to black politicians in Northern California. She literally giggled at Polish President Andrzej Duda’s serious comments on Russia’s encroachment upon his own borders. While this was happening, Biden, the dementia patient, was sleeping at home in Delaware. This is not a serious country and anyone watching knows it.
Of course, throughout all this, the two most important military members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the United States and the United Kingdom, ensured that their priorities remained social and not operational. The UK Ministry of Defence (British spelling: MOD) spent the month of February touting its homosexual discharge reconciliation program. The website was all about the importance of safe gay sex in the current British Armed Forces, including protecting someone from Covid in case they got AIDS from said gay sex. Meanwhile, the US Department of Defense continued its aggressive expulsion of unvaccinated troops, its promotion of homosexuality, its promotion of affirmative action, climate change in the year 2075, and little else. While the North Koreans were testing missiles and the Russians were encircling Kiev, soy boy General Mark Miley, and his affirmative action boss, failed CENTCOM Commander Lloyd Austin, were hosting climate change and diversity round tables.
To put this in perspective, while the United States promotes the fact that it has more lesbians, homosexuals, and transgenders in its armed services, the Russians promote the fact that it has the most advanced hypersonic missiles in the world – systems the U.S. does not have. Of course, if you ask Biden and CNN, the real enemy are White Christian Males (of which, Russia is clearly a member of the pack). Southerners, once America’s most dependable fighting demographic, are being purged from the American military ranks at a time when American politicians, from Mitt Romney to Mark Warner, are begging its janissary class to support its intervention operations around the world.
In the totality, it is clear – Uncle Sam is dead. The buzzards are circling above a country with massive debt, a skyrocketing black criminality problem, and a collapsed border. The country has become a free-for-all, in which a combination of elite Wall Street gangsters and Hispanic immigrants are racing to pick the pockets of the recently deceased. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice focuses on “patriots” instead of those who literally burned entire cities to the ground in 2020. Kiev looks better than Minneapolis – the impact of blacks on urban environments is more reliable than the U.S. Armed Services in war. We can blame a number of reasons for this collapse, but who cares? Uncle Sam is no Lazarus. He is not coming back because, unlike Lazarus before his demise, Uncle Sam turned away from God. Miley’s army of transvestite freaks has more invested in the continuation of this imperial charade. As for the Southern man – walk away. Let the dead bury their own.

Author’s Preface: I am not pro-Putin or pro-Ukraine. I believe firmly it is not our fight. This article is meant to simply explain some of the reasons the author believes Russia will prevail. Others have written on the military elements, so this will focus more on economic.
We are in the midst of a strange time in history. Russia has invaded a territory which used to belong to Russia and people are crying about how evil this is. Condoleezza Rice even had the audacity to nod in agreement when Harris Faulkner said that invading a sovereign country is a war crime.
For you Zoomers out there, Dr. Rice is a long-time apparatchik of the Imperial System, serving under multiple presidents including holding the positions of National Security Advisor and Secretary of State during the George W. Bush presidency. She was a large proponent of the Iraq War and is at least partially to blame for the multiple invasions by the United States of sovereign countries in recent memory.
Now, to punish dastardly Putin, American-based companies are ceasing to do business in Russia. We’ve already seen the ruble plummet in value and many of the usual suspects are clapping and assuming the fall of Russia is inevitable. While the decline in the value of the ruble is certainly a concern for Russians, there are no indications that Russia is going to go the way of Weimar or Zimbabwe. Certainly, there’s going to be unrest, and likely already is, but the value of the ruble will likely bounce back soon after the conflict is over. In any event, these policies from the United States and the various U.S.-based businesses are going to backfire for several reasons.
The first is that embargoes tend to work if you can starve out a country, but not if they can get support elsewhere. Cuba got subsidized by the USSR during the U.S. embargo, for example, and is still a Marxist state. While Russia isn’t going to be subsidized by a greater power, the U.S. policies aren’t going to be copied by the necessary actors to starve out Russia. Europe needs Russian oil, despite pretending to be green. While the U.S. may buy Venezuelan oil, that doesn’t seem a possible choice for the European powers, so they’ll still buy from Putin while publicly speaking out against him.
The second reason these policies will backfire is that it decreases the businesses’ own market share. There is a theoretical surge that could happen to a customer base when a business engages in the public sphere. If a company expresses a policy that the masses like, then they could get new consumers or more loyal consumers. However, the public is fairly fickle. Additionally, companies these days tend to try to influence public opinion rather than respond to it. Besides that, anyone that is pro-Ukraine would be purchasing these goods already (Nikes, Starbucks, etc). Publicly countersignaling Russia’s policies while still doing business in Russia may be hypocritical, but it’s good business (and is precisely what many businesses did during the Second World War and the Cold War). That’s not what they’re doing, though. They’re actively pulling out and refusing to do business with Russia. That’s 144 million consumers they are missing out selling to.
Let’s say they’re not concerned with market share but rather out of principal want to oppose Putin. Even if that were true (the use of borderline slave labor by Nike and such companies indicates it isn’t), this is a terrible way to do it. The embargo on Cuba arguably strengthened support for Fidel Castro as he could push it as a nationalistic thing. He was able to express the sentiment that “foreigners are attempting to dictate how we live. Even if you’re unhappy with me, are you going to let foreigners tell you what government to have?” While there’s no telling how much actual support Castro had while alive, the hundreds of assassination attempts aren’t a good indicator, the reality is that his hold over the island was greater than of any previous Cuban leader.
Likewise, Putin seems to be one of the more popular leaders in recent Russian history. He has also wanted to decouple from Western influence for a while. Not to go down too deep a rabbit hole, but these companies obviously exert social influence. We can see that in the commercials they run promoting homosexuality and interracial relationships. It’s a lot easier to stop an entity from entering your land and spreading propaganda if you can remove the desire to enter in the first place. Besides, if Putin had banned Netflix, McDonalds, and the other companies, that’s a tyrannical step, and will make people hate him for the hardship from his policy. The foreign countries or companies doing the policy makes the hardship clearly from a foreign force, so it should cause people to double down support for Putin in a process called Belief Perseverance.
Besides the fact that Putin can’t be directly blamed for these actions of foreign entities, these policies also justify the plan to seize the assets of the exiting companies. After all, these companies are doing these things to try to force regime change in Russia. It doesn’t take a stellar jurist to argue why such motivation and actions therefore justifies punishment by the Russian government.
So, Putin gets rid of these companies that spend money on propaganda while blaming the economic hardship on foreigners while simultaneously creating a vacuum by which new entrepreneurs/oligarchs can rise up to fill that gap (who will be beholden to Putin). He simultaneously removes foreign influence, gets Russians to double down on support for him (as his regime becomes conflated with Russian autonomy from the West), and begins creating a more globally independent Russia and dependent political class surrounding him.
One other issue is that by decoupling more from the West, the demand for the U.S. dollar logically will go down. For example, Russia is turning to Chinese payment systems now that Visa and Mastercard won’t do business with Russia. This means you’ll see more trade in yuans and rubles rather than dollars. China’s sphere of influence has been growing for some time and it shouldn’t be long before the dollar stops being the global reserve currency. That doesn’t mean that the yuan or ruble shall be, only that there may be regional reserve currencies from now on, rather than a global one. Russia decoupling from the West and the dollar now may very well help their economy out in the long run.
I want to bring up the hypocrisy of all this because it does connect with my final point. Just like when Hollywood boycotted the American state of Georgia for some alleged anti-gay law, while simultaneously filming in China (which has concentration camps) or in Arab Gulf states (which have far stricter anti-gay laws than anything in the U.S.), the entire situation reeks of hypocrisy. Athletes get applauded for refusing to compete with Russia and standing up for “human rights,” but are lambasted for similar stances regarding Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Frankly, why we care about an athlete’s opinions on global politics makes little sense to me, but if you’re going to respect an athlete’s right to take a stand against a policy of a foreign government, you need to be consistent.
One German clinic went as far as to refuse treatment to Russians and Belarussians because of the invasion of Ukraine. Yes, they’re now refusing treatment of people because of their ethnicity (or at least nationality, which in the latter case correlates with ethnicity at an almost 1:1 ratio). How this is legal in the Current Year where Germany bans speech that could be seen as racist towards immigrants is baffling. Of course, those laws are only meant to protect non-White people, and different ethnic groups that are still White can be discriminated against without recourse (just ask the Poles in the UK).
Facebook has banned Trump “indefinitely” for inciting violence but has explicitly stated they will tolerate calls for violence against Russian Invaders. At least their lawyers, or their PR department, had the good sense to qualify it with the “invader” addition, but what that will mean in practice is hard to tell. After all, all Whites are called “invaders” by leftists and non-White activists.
These anti-Russian policies in Western countries may have a silver lining for Putin, too. It will lead to more Russians returning to their homeland. While that would certainly increase unemployment and decrease wages at least in the short term, it will also reverse the brain drain of emigration in the longer term. Again, because Putin can paint all this in nationalistic terms (and apparently even in terms of fighting against a Satanic World Order), he can avoid the normal decline in popularity that happens when economic situations worsen under an incumbent. It provides a “why” for the Russian people to endure the hardship. As Victor Frankl said, slant-quoting Friedreich Nietzsche, “one who has a ‘why’ to live for can endure almost any ‘how.’” I can think of no greater “why” than fighting against evil. If such rhetoric works, then Putin may very well possess Kiev within the month and one day be remembered, at least within Russia, as one of Russia’s greatest statesmen.

Growing up in eastern North Carolina, many close family friends were really friends that had become family. As a child, days spent at my Mema’s often meant having the honor of keeping company with one of those family friends alongside my grandma.
Many of these friends have been in the picture longer than I’ve been alive—or, at least, as long as I can remember. I even call my Mema’s best friend “Granny Gail,” and I couldn’t imagine calling her by any other name. We’ve even spent a Thanksgiving together at her sister’s house. My Mema has always kept this sprawling fold around her, and in her love for the people she knew, my boyish curiosity led me into a deeper understanding of this love for our people.
Sitting at my grandma’s feet, I would ask her everything I could think of about how she met everyone she knows and how they tie into the family. I’d ask who all these family members are that she always brings up in her stories, but whom I’ve never had the chance to meet. Of course, I had to know about my family. I had to know them better than our family friends. What a shame it would be to know so much about everyone else and not my own folks! So, when I was about ten years old, I started learning about my great-grandmother’s brothers and sisters who had rhyming names, my great-grandfather who ran moonshine for a local Robin Hood figure, who were the big shots who kept the nearby towns running and owned the most land, and how I not only know my friend and his cousin, but also his cousin’s cousin and his cousin’s cousin’s cousin, whom I went to grade school with!
Over the years, I’ve learned more and more about these pillars of our people and the deeply rooted foundations of blood, soil, history, and long-lasting friendships that gave them something to build and connect all of us together, as locals. When I meet someone whom I haven’t seen before, but is from around here just the same, he always turns out to know someone I know, too. Now, it’s second nature to be able to tell if someone is part of the “in-crowd” or is a transplant from the next county over. You get used to the family names that are from your neck of the woods and which ones are from a town a far piece down the road. Certain families have a certain look about them. And, after being in the same place and around the same people for so long, your ear catches slight differences in how people talk, too – and, of course, what they talk about.
Someone from down east may not give two shakes of a lamb’s tail about the new interstate going through my hometown, or the new gas line going through my dad’s backyard, and I may not give a second thought to hearing about a new diner that popped up in a town of five hundred people a half hour away. Imagine how easy it is to tell when someone is from several states away, and how intrusive it can feel when you find out they are moving in by the droves!
But, it’s in these exclusive communities that we aren’t stretched thin. Here, we can devote the time and effort to learning to love our neighbor as ourselves. This is the type of community that every person in Dixie should be, and be able to be, a part of. And, I feel that a lot of us already are.

Isaac’s sons they’re plowing
Decay to work it under
And even hope allowing
Are meant to be hell’s plunder.
Deftly rows they’re turning,
Deafly gazing blue eyes down.
Two thousand years slow burning,
We churn still more God’s ground.
Edom’s ash cannot see.
Someone; is a char; of ten
Try bees, are you’re a paean?
Dan gat enough tally.
Our fences need mending,
We like to fin’lly finish.
Cudding cows I’m still tending.
Toil their taunts diminish.
What lies beyond his trover,
Like birthrights Edom hates.
The name and place of brothers’
He claims for his estates.
Build and grow forever,
We prefer to plow than fight;
Yet we will stand together,
Securing our King’s right.
See the bongos dancing
The squealing of the fairies
Pink ponies like them prancing
Vile imp rarely varies.
Dominions make us strong,
True blue and star so white;
For fathers to whom belong
By God our valor plight.
March forth to tenor drums
Proclaim “Awake!” proud ye pipes
Quickly form when booms the horn
Charge ye all when shrills the fife.
We craved not this wicked war;
Heaven and hearth, it begins,
Call men to knights, plow to sword,
Rise to conquer hell again.
As a side note, I do not consider this to be a call to literal arms, although I see how it could be considered that. Instead, I consider it a call to keep dominions, hearth and home in good order, and be ready to meet a challenge when it comes with an appropriate response and strategy. One eye on the row, one ear to the ground, and one eye on the horizon. Not sure what to do with the unaccounted for ear.
Like our people have historically done.

Hubris gets cured eventually. Unfortunately, in America that process doesn’t involve introspection or accountability. That’s why catastrophe seems to be in the cards. The same people who’ve steered us from one disaster to the next since the end of the Cold War are still pulling the strings. No transparent process of democracy is going to dislodge them or their media shills. Here’s a quick inventory of their brilliant schemes:
Nothing worked out the way they intended. Often, it led to results they’d consider strategic disasters such as the opening of a Shia Arc from Iran to Israel or an alliance between the two other largest powers on the planet, which they failed to swindle into their plutocracy. Putin warned they’d regret Kosovo 15 years ago, and now he’s using it as a justification. It goes on and on.
Moreover, there’s a clear line of escalating consequences which can be drawn straight down to the bottom of the list above. For instance, Syria was supposed to be dismembered for Zionist purposes with the bonus of booting the Russians from their naval base at Tartus. Instead, they were BTFO’d by Putin’s intervention and exposed as impotent, setting the stage for the big show.
Russian military victory was a done deal from the start. The Ukrainian military has mostly been knocked out and the conventional forces that remain are on the brink of annihilation if they don’t surrender. Russia avoiding doing Fallujahs to Ukrainian cities isn’t a sign of defeat. There’s no point in addressing the hysterical gas-lighting and censorship on this one, so let’s talk about how they could get our lives wrecked.
Despite their string of failures, in contrast to the Russian track record of success at thwarting them, they’ve assumed the Russians didn’t plan on prevailing in a sanctions war as well. That’s odd since the Russians have spent years defying sanctions and fortifying against more inevitably to come. They’re quite vocal about not caring for a reason. I haven’t come across much of anything they can’t work around besides delivering sodomy and miscegenation to living rooms with Netflix.

Hello, hideous hag! Have you been to a pump lately? In simple terms, declaring war on the world’s largest commodity exporter that works in close partnership with the world’s largest economy won’t go well for the world’s dominant financial parasite. The Russians have been quite vocal about this blunder. By the way, they make lots of stuff. Commodities are probably somewhere under half of their GDP. The push to turn them into Venezuela is more laughably absurd than the notion of enforcing a no-fly zone on them.

If only these tweets could be used at their trial for wrecking America. The real questions are how badly do our sanctions backfire and the scale of Russia’s retaliation. The second question might be tied to the length and extent we can prolong the conflict in Ukraine. In regards to the first, we’re already experiencing just how badly that’s going.
There’s every indication it’s going to get much worse. They wouldn’t have canceled the Keystone Pipeline or be going cap in hand to Iran and Venezuela if they’d figured this out in advance. It’s amazing but consistent with their general incompetency. I can’t come up with an explanation for the positions they hold besides tribal nepotism.
What’s so frightening is that oil and gas prices are the easiest things to game out in advance. Forecasting how spiked prices, in combination with mass shortages of all the other vital commodities exported by Russia, will systematically impact the global economy is tough, although the general prediction of “we’ve never seen anything this bad in our lives” seems pretty level-headed.
No amount of shilling would cover up the fact that people can’t afford to drive to work or eat as they’ve taken for granted their entire lives. Getting obnoxious hacks to do routines worse than anything Marie Antoinette won’t solve anything. Trying to placate the populace by creating more currency that the world wants less of won’t help either. The real inflation rate might’ve been north of 13% even before this kicked off.

This country is a tragic comedy. In other words, they’re running out of rope with their lies just as the nation they hijacked is running out of rope with its economic and military strength. We don’t deserve any of this but neither do the Ukrainians or all the other countries they’ve screwed over.

This is the level of clever that’s led to hundreds of expulsions over the course of history. Imagine a store clerk trying to tell LaQuisha, who is no longer being fed enough to maintain her bloated BMI, that her whole EBT allowance isn’t enough for toilet paper, and then directing her to an essay by David Frum about why this is no big deal in order to calm her down. I’ve been thinking this out long and hard. My red line is single malt scotch. If can’t afford it, I’m going to be like Milton from Office Space when his stapler was confiscated.

Three months before his death in 1274, Thomas Aquinas had a revelation that so affected him that he stopped his writing, leaving his great work the Summa Theologiae unfinished. He told his friend and secretary, “The end of my labors has come. All that I have written appears to be as so much straw after the things that have been revealed to me…I can write no more.”
Never mind that he had assembled a philosophical superstructure that would change the world with a comprehensive and impeccable treatment of the human experience. Like other tortured geniuses, whether it was solely the vision that frightened him, or that in combination of being old enough to have gained perspective on the profound oddness of life and what can seem to be the futility of our efforts, Aquinas believed his labors fell short and were so inadequate that he was a failure and asked his works to be destroyed.
None of us are on the level of Aquinas. And yet, his black-pilling is something to seriously contend with. When the diary of Mother Teresa of Calcutta was found after her death, it showed how for most of her life she was in what St. John of the Cross (1591) described as the dark night of the soul, a type of spiritual dryness that delivers little, if any, consolation. In secular terms, it mirrors clinical depression. Through her own words and accounts, it is not unreasonable to conclude that given the nature of her work in the streets of Calcutta and her extreme contact with some of the most desperate people on earth, that their brutal existence didn’t force an extreme examination of just what the hell is this all about?
Alabama born Walker Percy frequently explored this theme via characters who develop a startling sense of reality that force them to confront not only their limitations but the silliness of human endeavors: all the effort, all the handwringing, the plotting, the bloviating, the murdering. For what? In the end, in the still of the morning, even the most black-hearted soul knows a confrontation awaits: an all-consuming fire or an all-consuming love. One in the same, terrifying or unspeakably beautiful.
The older I get, and as the miles rack up on the experience meter, the more I see patterns already beginning to repeat. Maybe it’s the beginning of wisdom, but with it comes the weight of knowing, of seeing reality, not unlike a Percy character.
Sisyphus and Pyrrhus Walk into a Bar to Start a Fight, Again We are creatures with amnesia. We are stubborn, foolishly dismissing the advice and insight from the generations before us. We enthusiastically go about reinventing inferior wheels and ignoring grandpa’s tips and bang together lopsided tables we nevertheless take vainglorious pride in.
Daily, I become less sure of anything, my understanding of things, my confidence in anything other than my most intimate relationships. And even then, if I’m being honest, I wonder about basic assumptions there as well.
It is unnerving but also relieving, even freeing. You can accept just how insignificant and powerless you are compared to the titanic forces of nations and events, principalities and powers. They are glaciers slowly grinding toward their own mysterious end. We are pebbles stuck in their frozen immensity.
As it relates to Ukraine and Russia, there’s an instinct to cheer for any people fighting, however quixotically, for their freedom and desire for self-determination. But these people are not fighting to be part of the administrative leviathan of the EU. It’s for simple honor and ethnic allegiance, blood memory of centuries-old sentiments against “The Other.” What do the elders in Kiev and Moscow think about this? Has anyone bothered to ask them?
It is also likely that those fighting are experiencing real cognitive dissonance: the primal need to resist an attack but knowing that, in doing so, your people are once again pawns advancing the mission of an evil and vile vision for humanity driven by agendas and forces that you can’t even really name. Would it really matter what labels are put on the glacial forces? The Elites, the Cabal, the NWO, Globohomo, ZOG, the Managerial Technocratic State, the Great Reset.
So, what does one pray for…peace? What is peace? The illusion of the cessation of fighting?
To be sure, maiming, destruction, and death are terrible. But for two centuries, the goals of the dark forces have advanced further during times of peace than open conflict. The real war for souls and temporal control rages on in quiet bureaucratic comfort where there is never a single second of peace.
The institutions entrusted to protect their people, from the Church to the State to the very idea of the family with husband and wife as the essential archetypes and the last bulwark…all captured and compromised long ago. The heads of our institutions are little different than kapos.
To see reality, what is really taking place, is to recognize that peace treaties are a deception and never bring security or victory.
Modern peace leaves unresolved the hidden real war, the quiet and more deadly one. Fumigate the room but the termites behind the walls keep chewing. Peace today is a time for scurrying about in the lulls, finagling, conniving, and for self-serving deal making between the wardens and kapos.
And so, the shocking reality dawns on the awake man, a man who has seen it before and recalls his lessons from history. The modern age’s false peace and false wars, by design, are never meant to achieve the stated goals but only to assure the unending victories for Legion.
No, there has always only been one path for extended authentic peace, one that doesn’t tolerate external threats nor internal vibrant democratic dissent, and that’s the barbarity of total war. Cortes and the Aztecs knew what the stakes were. The Khans, the Cossacks, and Alexander the Great knew what it took to secure their vision of peace. So, too, the Comanche and Sherman. Within, traitors and their entrenched minions are removed not with regime change and election cycles but with enraged mobs, the firing squad, and the guillotine.
These are the rules of the game set by the Lord of the Fallen World.
I’m tired of trying to pretend that the arguments matter, that the version of peace being peddled is effective or even desirable. So many words. So much straw.

Author’s Note: This will be the first part in a series of essays where I will outline how the American Empire is declining and what that will mean for the future. The essays will be organized regionally, examining how the United States has exercised control over a particular region, why American influence is declining, what nation(s) stand to replace the United States influence in each given region, and what this means for the future. The final essay will tie everything together and look at the future of the world and the United States holistically.
There really has never been another power like the United States in the history of the world, in terms of its ability to project military, economic, and cultural power. For all the glory of Rome, it was ultimately a Mediterranean power – four continents, not to mention vast areas of Africa, were unknown to Rome. American power, by contrast, is felt the world over. Consider the world of 1914. America policed Latin America for sure, but it was Great Britain’s responsibility to keep the seas safe. Meanwhile, Austria-Hungary kept the Balkans at peace and Tsarist Russia was hegemon over Eastern Europe, while the German Reich kept Russia in check. The Ottoman Empire patrolled the Middle East and Japan was the great power in the Pacific, keeping both revolutionaries and China neutralized. Today, the American Empire does all of these things (for now).
For decades the U.S. dollar has been the default currency of the world. The world economy lives and dies by the U.S. dollar. While there may be a recession in Asia and Europe that does not affect the U.S., there is no way this would work in reverse. An American recession will become a global recession. That is part of the reason why the 2008 recession was so bad – because it started in the United States there was no one around to prop the system up, as the U.S. did when East Asia had a very nasty recession in the late 1990s.
However, it is the cultural power of the American Empire that has truly been unprecedented. Everyone on earth knows about McDonald’s and Coca-Cola. No genre is more “American” than the Western; at one time, the Western was so popular that Italians began making their own Westerns after Hollywood could no longer keep up with the demand. No nation on earth has achieved this, and this is why the post-American world will be radically different than our own. In many ways, it will be unthinkable. But all the same, that day is coming.
Objectively looking at the growth of the American Empire, ignoring whatever one may say of the particulars of its influence, it is impressive. In 1791, it only formally spanned from the East Coast to the Mississippi River, and even this was contentious. In reality, the U.S. was able to exercise little control over the western portion of its territory. In all practicality, the U.S. was restricted to the Eastern Seaboard. Eventually, expansion and dramatic growth did come. By 1850, within living memory of its founding, the new nation had a state on the Pacific. Just a century later, the United States was a superpower, the hegemon over half the world. A mere 41 years after that, in 1991, and only 200 years after it had been restricted to the Atlantic Coast, it ruled the world and now as an unprecedented power.
In terms of other great powers, there really is nothing like this. It took centuries for Rome, for all its imperial might, to take over the far smaller Mediterranean region. Sure, the Mongols rapidly built their empire, but that disappeared quickly, and even more tellingly, left little impact. Where the Mongols conquered, the Mongols eventually would take on the characteristics of the people they conquered. The Mongols became Chinese in China, Persian in Persia, etc. But, this is not the case for the American Empire. The United States has been remarkably effective at implanting its own culture. Just look at how radically Germany has changed since 1945.
It is hard to believe just how, only a few years ago, it looked as if the American Empire would go on forever. The USSR disappeared and now the U.S. was free to expand its power wherever it wanted. American movies and music would be enjoyed around the world and no economy could match it. After a brief period in the 1980s and early 1990s, where it looked like Japan might challenge the U.S. economically, it turned out they were no match. Optimism was the order of the day.
Then, something went wrong. It’s something that almost everyone knows at this point. It is normal for the “glory days” to contain the seeds of eventual decline, and the American Empire is no exception. The wealth of the U.S. economy created multiple generations of weak men, completely disconnected from the tenacity of their ancestors. The foundational source that will eventually destroy the American Empire is its hubris, an engrained arrogance that developed as a result of its past military successes, successes made by stronger men. The United States really was convinced that it could turn Iraq and Afghanistan into secular democracies, nations just like America. And, the Empire really was convinced that it could make China democratic, too (simply by trading with them). The history of all these nations suggests otherwise; but in its egotism, the United States fatally wounded itself.
As with any other empire, the American Empire cannot last forever. It will eventually fall. Today, we are seeing the beginnings of that great retreat – especially with the events in Ukraine. In varying degrees, in almost every region on earth, another nation threatens to become a regional hegemon, supplanting the United States. The unipolar world that has existed since the end of the Cold War is over. I do not think that we are heading towards a new bipolar world, as existed in the Cold War, with China replacing the Soviet Union as the Empire’ chief rival. China will be a great power and will be able to exercise a great deal of power all over the world, but where the world is really heading is a multipolar world with various powers ruling over a given region. Some of these hegemons will be in the region they currently dominate. In some cases, the region will be influenced by an outside force. The Middle East and the Orthodox worlds will likely both have a native hegemon, Africa will likely have a foreign one.
What this world will look like will be the focus of this series.
The post How The Empire Dies, Part 1: Introduction appeared first on Identity Dixie.
The culture shift from production to consumption has hit hard. The move from community health to profit maximization has been largely successful. Albeit, at the cost of our health.
We went from a culture of limited sustenance to abundance. With it comes the problems that abundance brings.
Such as massive production in the conquest for ever-increasing quantities of money. Which leads to a preference for cheap, physically dangerous foods over healthy, reasonably priced alternatives.
Globalism has brought about an offshoring of our production capabilities, leading to a need for increased non-native or processed foods, which require harsh chemicals to keep for long durations.
Libertarian-type economic policies have resulted in the continual degradation and destruction of our domestic producers, leading them to be forced to stoop low for any sustainable profits in such a harsh climate.
Instead of a local farmer just raising some cows, the farmer becomes a monopolized corporation seeking profit by raising a billion artificially pumped-up cows to compete with the other globalist countries constantly trying to undercut them. The small-time farmer can’t compete. Real surprise that this produces a negative result in the quality of production. Efficient to keep people fed, sure, but not healthy.
There are plenty of other problems, too. Massive population increases from immigration meant a much higher need for more food, resulting in the fattening of animals and domestic crops with even more dangerous adulterations.
A constant “rush” atmosphere requires us to eat fast food instead of sitting down and having traditionally made food with our family.
The need for both partners to work reduces the ability to have traditional dinners that are home cooked and/or predominantly garden/farm based. No time for gardens or whole food meals when both parents work full-time.
The industrialized and corporate profit-driven industry has fed millions worldwide, but in doing so, it has slaughtered their health. Pasture, farm raised animals are nothing like the CAFO/caged animals. I eat free range pasture eggs since I own chickens. I occasionally buy normal eggs just to compare the two and taste the difference. They are nothing alike. The store-bought ones are so disgusting to me in comparison now, I can’t even eat them. They are runny, have no flavor, and you can tell just by eating them that they are nowhere near the same nutrition level. This doesn’t apply just to chickens, however. It stretches to every animal, cow, pig, even “farm-raised” (non wild-caught) fish.
Physical degeneration starts with cultural (spiritual degeneration) that would allow for the physical to degenerate. If a nation had a strong soul, it would never allow it to reach this point.
The damage is even more extensive in the artificial, non-whole food section. Go read the ingredients from nearly any piece of candy. Here is a great example (Sour Patch Kids):
sugar, invert sugar, corn syrup, modified corn starch, tartaric acid, citric acid, natural and artificial flavoring, yellow 6, red 40, yellow 5, blue 1.
All of it bad. All of it nasty. Would you eat some modified corn starch solo?
Or if you want to do a really fun one, check out a Twinkie:
Bleached enriched wheat flour [wheat flour, niacin, ferrous sulfate (iron), thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid], sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, animal and vegetable shortening (tallow, hydrogenated tallow, cottonseed oil, mono and diglycerides, polysorbate 60, soy lecithin), eggs, water, dextrose. contains 2% or less: calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, agar, disodium phosphate, locust bean gum, modified corn starch, corn syrup solids, soy lecithin, sodium acid pyrophosphate, baking soda, corn starch, monocalcium phosphate, whey, glycerin, salt, cellulose gum, sodium stearoyl lactylate, sorbic acid and potassium sorbate (to retain freshness), xanthan gum, barley malt extract, corn grits, natural and artificial flavors, enzymes, yellow 5, red 40.
I don’t even know what a handful of those are and I’m well-versed in this subject. That’s always a great sign.
A lot of the trash in these are in plenty of “natural” and “healthy” foods, as well. Even some that are presumed to be non-processed are often minimally processed with seed oil or have added sugar. The only way to know is to check each thing you buy.
I came across a fantastic article from the Epoch Times that details this effect. This article mostly targets a major culprit called the seed oils, such as “vegetable” oil, but that is not the full picture. It’s all of it. Everything in our production process is degenerate.
The four culprits are a good starting point, however. These four are: sugar, seed oils, refined flour, and trans fats.
Let’s begin:
Macular degeneration and osteoarthritis followed similar striking increases, with Knobbe asking the question of what was so ubiquitous during this time that could have prompted these changes. Dietary history provides the answer, with the introduction of four primary processed foods—sugar, industrially processed seed oils, refined flour, and trans fats—acting as the culprits.
He was one of the major nutritional pioneers of all time, and his research revealed native tribes that still ate their traditional diet had nearly perfect teeth and were almost 100 percent free of tooth decay.
But when these tribal populations were introduced to refined sugar and white flour, their health and perfect teeth rapidly deteriorated.
Now let’s narrow in on my nation, the American nation, a major consumer of seed oils:
Heart disease, now the leading cause of death in the United States, was virtually unknown in the 19th century. The same goes for cancer, which caused 0.5 percent of deaths in 1811 and 5.8 percent of deaths in 1900—spiking to more than 31 percent of deaths in 2010. A similar pattern emerged for diabetes, which was rare in the 19th century and had a prevalence of 0.37 percent in 1935. By 2020, there was a 28-fold increase in 85 years, to a prevalence of 10.5 percent.
Obesity? Same story. With a prevalence of just 1.2 percent in the 19th century, obesity increased 33-fold in 115 years, to a prevalence of 39.8 percent in 2015.
By 2009–2015, 88 percent of U.S. adults didn’t meet the five criteria for metabolic health, measured by blood glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and waist circumference.
Where else has this gotten us?
According to the CDC, six in 10 Americans have a chronic disease, and heart disease, asthma, cancer, and diabetes have increased 700 percent since the National Health Survey was undertaken in 1935.
As tech entrepreneur Jeff Nobbs noted in a breakdown of the statistics, during this time, Americans have been smoking and drinking less, two of the primary drivers of chronic disease. Nobbs, too, believes vegetable oil is the missing link that explains why Americans keep getting sicker.
“I’m convinced that our wars against red meat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium may be misguided. Fighting those battles may be like focusing on the sidekicks when the true villain pulling all the strings is still hiding in the shadows. It’s time to shine a light on that slippery villain, our possible public health enemy No. 1: vegetable oil.
While I don’t necessarily think that seed oil is the No. 1 enemy, it is certainly in my top 3. Regardless, the medical industry gets more money by having more sick people, and the isolated class gets more money by selling foods that gets people sick. It’s not a good combination.
Just look at how the consumption has changed right around the same time all of our diseases have changed:
Knobbe’s published data show that seed oils, which were introduced into the United States diet in 1866, made up 32 percent of Americans’ diet by 2010, which amounts to 80 grams per person per day. In contrast, in 1865, most people would have only about 2 percent to 3 percent of their caloric intake from omega-6 linoleic acid, found in seed oils, which would have come from primarily from butter, lard, and beef tallow.
Ancestrally raised animals had very low omega-6, but this changes when animals are raised in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO), the way they are today. CAFO pork may contain 20 percent omega-6 fats, for comparison. Knobbe highlights several native populations that have very low rates of chronic diseases and comparatively low consumption of linoleic acid, such as the Maasai Tribe of Kenya and Tanzania.
But lest you think this effect is only an American one, we can even case-study Japan who shared a similar trend to us but in more recent years:
While ancestral populations have had their health protected by not consuming seed oils, other populations, like Japan, have had declines in health that correspond to increasing consumption of these toxic oils. Since 1960, Japan has had marked increases in obesity, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, multiple cancers, and age-related macular degeneration.
Meanwhile, in 1950, the Japanese were consuming only 3 grams a day of seed oils, which rose to 39 grams a day by 2004. As a percentage of total calories, omega-6 increased to 6.2 percent in 2004 from 1.55 percent in 1950.
“That’s the main problem right there,” Knobbe said. “So Japan’s declining health is most likely due to a 13-fold, 1,200 percent increase in highly pro-oxidative, proinflammatory, toxic, and nutrient-deficient seed oils.”
Give it some time and they’ll be fully joining our numbers.
And this is just the brief incursion to the problem. Our immune systems have almost certainly been degraded by both food and the medical community, our rates of odd illnesses are probably tied to this in some capacity (such as “allergies” and asthma), and our rates of mental illness are no doubt shadowed by what we eat. What we ingest is our health.
Culture brought us here. A culture of globalism and individualistic capitalism allowed for the profit-pressure environment, a culture of “rush” and increasing wants demanded a fast food proliferation, a culture of individualism and feminism required a destruction of the family and traditional subsistence, a culture of an uneducated population lead to the ability to get away with pumping up foods with all of these problem ingredients, a culture of apathy allowed people to not care about their health, a culture of centralizer-dominance restricted politicians and doctors from intervening, and on and on… I could go on for hours.
The problem is seated far deeper than we realize. It’s a spiritual problem at this point.
So what can we do?
Avoid those four mentioned in the article and focus on traditionally grown vegetables, fruits, pastured meats, pastured eggs, wild caught fish, and use animal products with the same attributes instead of oils. IE: Whole foods. Nothing processed.
It’s hard to do, considering nearly everything has this crap in it. Hell, you can’t even eat out at most restaurants as they nearly all use processed goods or these oils, if not both.
But it’s worthwhile, it will change your life.
If we had a normal healthy nation, this would be the standard. Our government would be incentivizing this for us. Our culture would encourage healthy eating, would replace fast food, would demand traditional home-cooked family meals, would love home-grown and farm raised local community produce, et cetera.
But we don’t. We have a sick government, sick leaders, and corrupt, sick institutions.
With that comes a sick people. In both a spiritual and literal sense.
If modernity can’t steal your soul, it’ll at least try to kill you.
Reject it all.

The mainstream media is in a bit of a pickle. On the one hand, most of them have a deep and creepy love for Justin Trudeau. He’s their perfect mix of effeminate totalitarian, elitist, cultural appropriator and smugly ignorant leftist that sends their hearts all aflutter. On the other hand, an intensely newsworthy story is happening in his weird little kingdom.
Some outlets chose to ignore it, probably staring wistfully at pictures of him in blackface and thinking about how woke he is and how well he understands the blacks. The ones who still like pretending they care about facts have only covered little Justin’s unfounded accusations of thoughtcrimes, and they show the same 9 seconds of footage of the one guy with the brand-new Confederate flag. Oddly, they never show the part of the video where he’s told to leave. It’s pretty obvious the guy was a Fed, or whatever those ice people call them, so it was a wise decision.
At this point, nobody should expect this event to be covered even remotely fairly. After all, this is mostly White people protesting peacefully. There’s an air of violence, they tell us. It’s threatening and scary. The phrase “air of violence” is code for “there are no signs of potential violence.” Nobody has made a threat of violence; nobody has made an angry speech. The enemy can’t even find footage of anyone at the protests scowling or even, God forbid, smirking.
The cries by the likely bastard son of Fidel Castro (that’s Justin, by the way) of “racism,” and whatever other weird magic words are popular on the internet, had less than no effect. The only footage I’ve seen at all of anyone even responding to those claims was a black guy, who smiled as he refuted His Lordship’s slander. The attempt to ban gas cans was also ineffective, as thousands showed up with gas canisters to ensure the truckers could keep their rigs running.
In order for a protest movement to be effective, it must have leverage of some kind and it must have momentum. People at Tea Party rallies, or more recently Trump rallies, had no leverage. They are a peaceful lot who clean up after themselves and all vote in different districts down to the local level. They have no real impact on the ruling class, other than giving opportunistic grifters new opportunities to swindle good hearted people who aren’t cynical enough. Those rally goers could not make a viable threat to anything or anyone and were not supporting the same causes the ruling elite did, so they were not used as a pretext to further their goals. The Trump movement still has significant momentum, as his rallies are still largely attended, and his endorsement still seems to hold some value.
The BLM riots (scam) worked because they had both momentum and fake leverage. The ruling elite wanted those riots to be as large and widespread as possible, so no social media outfit ever suspended accounts, banned group pages, or even limited the exposure through shadow banning. Despite the fact that the entire movement is based on a (several times over) disproven narrative, nothing was ever labeled “misinformation.” The natural momentum of the BLM movement, whatever it was, had a massive push from the elite and all their propaganda arms.
The BLM movement also had leverage. Not real leverage, as rioting doesn’t really have consequences for the ruling class. Their houses were protected behind gates and guards, a safe distance from the mostly peaceful vibrancy. Their businesses were well insured and, if damaged, they’d just vote themselves a bailout. BLM had the leverage of being a machination of the ruling class. They funded, organized and supported the movement and helped craft the demands and narratives to dovetail in with their agenda. “No justice, no peace,” was a fun and sassy slogan for the elite because it never meant “no peace” for them, and they got to be the parent who let their kid stay up late to watch a movie.
The trucker protest is a movement where sane White people have accidentally figured this out, and this terrifies our ruling class. The truck drivers have, on their own and without permission, created a popular movement that is supported by the people, and has leverage. If their demands are not met, the supply chain in Canada will be crippled. While “no justice, no peace” made blatant threats of violence, all the truckers and their supporters want is to be free. The difference in response is that, unlike the BLM scam riots, the truckers can actually touch the ruling class.
This actual leverage has caused the mask of our elites to slip yet again. Rather than playing the role of humble public servant, their instincts are that of an angry, confused dictator. Bowing to public pressure does not enter the thought process of the people forced to deal with these actually peaceful, effective protests. They instinctively respond with doubling down on the policies being protested, threats of punishment, and even more accusations of various and sundry “isms” they don’t like.
In the next couple weeks, I expect Justin to publicly stamp his foot and demand answers as to why they won’t just do what he tells them to. The threats, increased restrictions and casting of badthink curses proves one thing: effective protesting is possible for sane White people. If the ruling elite wasn’t worried about the dirt people ruining their comfort and money, they wouldn’t be responding so strongly and with such an air of violence and panic.
Like Smokey and The Bandit, they’re doing what they said can’t be done. They’re peacefully and effectively protesting for something the elites do not want. They will not be mocked or threatened into silence and the protesters have far too much leverage to ignore. We would be wise to take notes and look at ways we can emulate them.

Alright, so let’s start with her pithy battle plan:
Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and MOVE THE TRUCKS
Who in their right mind would think that the first three courses of action would facilitate the fourth? How does this wretched, arrogant woman think that vehicles of this size get moved? Does she assume helicopters will come along with ropes and lift them off this suspension bridge? Where would they put all of these disabled trucks? She probably never thought that far ahead about the consequences, which isn’t really strange for them.
They could’ve not mandated highly dangerous experimental gene therapy and none of this would’ve happened. If they were constrained by reason and decency, they wouldn’t have had to confront the conundrum of complaining about truckers shutting things down after years of imposing lockdowns because the hypocrisy of this argument is risible.
The truckers could clear this thing quick, but that would involve acknowledging they have rights and interests that must be respected, which these people are loath to admit. They don’t think you should have rights and they react with neurotic hysteria when you act as if you do. We’ve seen this before. It’s important to note how much of this is motivated by hate, which is why it’s incoherent in terms of objective fairness and sustainability.
Earlier today, I tweeted something that has been used by others to suggest I was promoting vigilantism. I was not. People have the freedom to protest. Governments have the responsibility to protect public safety. That was what I intended to say.

The purpose of the Global War on Terror, during which her husband helped authorize a campaign of murder without ever getting his hands dirty (again, not strange for them) was to remake the Middle East for the benefit of Israel.
First was Saddam, who was as anti-Iranian as they come and severely repressed the Shia majority in Iraq, thus disrupting Iran’s Shia Crescent that now stretches all the way to Israel. They arrogantly assumed Iran would fall as well, without considering what would happen once the U.S. military was too depleted for the mission from years of warfare abroad and internally against the White men on whom it relies to function. Strategically, they’re worse off now than before they embarked on their genius plan.

It’s not personal, right. These people can’t help themselves, which has long been a noted feature of their behavior. Collectively, they’re in pursuit of conflicting goals without any sort of broader consciousness about how it all could backfire, which historically, always happens. They didn’t acquire plutocratic hegemony because they’re the best and brightest and their ideas make sense. They have and will continue to accomplish a lot of bad things, but that doesn’t mean they can win in the long term.

One obstacle to performing logic is a mental process that establishes a conclusion and then interprets all evidence offered as confirmation of this conclusion. In other words, whatever is thrown your way won’t change your mind about whatever stupid thing you’ve settled it on.
For example, somebody on our side of the spectrum would interpret the violence, squalor and dysfunction of a black neighborhood to their well-documented anti-civilizational cognition. The veracity of this conclusion would be confirmed by an abundance of historical evidence that in the past they never had any civilization at all and the fact that everywhere they dwell in substantial numbers, the same things antithetical to civilization happen.
While the issue isn’t really pondered by the average black person, the variety that considers themselves woke historical geniuses attribute their current state of affairs to the fact that they built the pyramids. They attribute the disparity between past and present to the evil of White people who’ve misappropriated prior civilizational achievements.
Nothing is ever going to shake their faith in this utterly retarded narrative that can’t be substantiated by a single fact or sound line of reason. Pyramids are in Africa, Africans are in Africa and then they fill it in with whatever wacky story their feeble minds concoct, from the divine powers of melanin to how we’re mutated cave beasts. You can tell from the expressions on their faces when they blather about this stuff it makes them feel really smart.
Nonetheless, it appears Showtime is rolling out an entire series on this one. The trailer features people of all races piling on White people, but it’s got Black Jesus and pyramids in there, too. It features some black lady declaring that “one of the definitions of American whiteness is ignorance.” So, I suspect that will be the undercurrent of the entire thing although I’m not going to tune in and find out.
The concept of racial separatism strikes normal people as extreme and immoral, but I don’t know what other solution there is to live with a race whose existence is only possible through your tolerance and siphoned surplus productivity and who provide violent antipathy and astounding levels of crime in return. That’s a very shitty bargain, but to them we’re getting the deal of a lifetime and nobody’s going to convince them otherwise or simply get them to behave.
I guarantee that it’s never once dawned on any of these people denouncing America as a White supremacist country that in a White supremacist country, their presence wouldn’t be allowed let alone this “documentary.” Its production offers them no clue that some group of people who hate White people are actually in charge even though 3 seconds on Wikipedia would offer some insights into Showtime. They only find this out when they cross the line they couldn’t see and are then forced to grovel.
We’re not extremists. Broadcasting hateful propaganda featuring information that is risibly false against the peaceful population that keeps a country functioning is extreme. Hateful propaganda for violent, stupid people aimed at White people leads directly to violence against White people. That’s the goal of this series and if someone can’t comprehend that I don’t know what else to say.

Growing up on ‘Holt Hill’ in Vendor, Arkansas, I was truly blessed. I had a touch of the ‘Old South’ that I now have oft read of; a true, closed community of my own people who endured hardship, drought and war, and came out stronger as a result.
Of the many giants who walked through my childhood, there is one I have neglected to mention in my past scribblings, one who held the family together through loss and gain, through thick and thin, through hardship and privation and good times and excellent years: my great-grandmother. But I just always called her grandma.
Hilpie Edna Middleton (but don’t ever call her Hilpie) was born in Newton County, Arkansas on December 25, 1919. A Christmas Day baby, she was. She truly was a gift not only to her parents, Dave and Dulcina (‘Dullie’) Middleton, but to all of us. She grew up and often remembered her childhood in later years, telling stories of how the Log Hall Church bell could be heard in the Limestone Valley (no short ways off) on a ‘clear Sunday.’ She referred to her grandfather, Jiles, as ‘Poppy’, though he had died sixteen years before she was born. She breathed life into the characters that I saw in her black and white photographs, she gave life to so many that were only names to a child like me. In her presence she could, in a turn of phrase or short explanation, bring those people back as if they had just died last week. I owe so much of my own love of family and place to her. She was truly an amazing woman.
She married Wayne Holt on December 20, 1936, about a mile from where she and grandpa now rest in Smith Cemetery at Vendor. They were married by Rev. Cain Bolin, whose chimney still stands as a monument to man’s arrogance against nature. But, it also serves as a reminder that what we do in our lives may have a profound effect on those after, when we are gone. This was definitely the case with my grandmother.
Edna was a prolific gardener and reader, a compiler of family history. Grandpa built her tiered flower beds in the front yard that she filled with beautiful flowers. Her vegetable garden overflowed and fed her children and grandchildren. Hard times meant nothing to her, as that was life. She grew up poor and promised herself to leave her children something better. Her hardened determination, and will, left her children just that, along with an added bonus: they saw what true love was. She was dedicated to her family.
The death of her eldest son, Stanley Wayne, in an auto accident on December 20, 1968, was a devastating blow to her and grandpa. She kept on and looked after her children and kept working. She put her faith in God and the soil. We could all learn from her example. Hard work was not a task, it was existence. She became the rock that the family could cling to in times of trouble.
I came along in December of 1987. I was the first great-grandchild, and she was sure to look after me. I remember lying in front of the ‘Warm Morning’ stove in the living room and her looking after me as I ran wild through the yard (one that seemed to be bigger than the entire world to a young child). She would often talk to me in the direct, almost ‘old-worldy’ talk of the hills, as she relayed people and places to me.
After my great-grandfather died on June 19, 1998, I remember going up to clean out their house, removing all the things that might remind her of him and his declining health. I remember helping stack up boxes of Red Man chewing tobacco and assorted items. We could’ve cleaned the whole house out and it did not matter. Grandpa was the love of her life, and she spent the rest of her days thinking of him. I doubt not a day went by that she didn’t sit by the wood stove, reading the paper and thinking, “Well, Wayne would sure get a kick out of this.”
Her boys took care of her. They cut the grass and brought her wood; they looked after her. Out of the five children they had, she, sadly, outlived all the boys. Another family member once said, “Them boys was her world.” And truer words were never spoken. Stanley was first, in 1937, followed by Dennis in 1939, and Glen in 1941, who would go on to become my grandfather. Her two girls came later (and whom she loved not a bit less, lest you get the feeling that’s my drift), and were also special to her.
I remember coming up to check on her, walking up the hill after school one day, and finding her mopping sweat as she refinished the hardwood floor in her house. I was awestruck, as the living room was covered in carpet the day before. When I asked what she was doing, she calmly replied she had got tired of ‘that old nasty carpet’ and decided to completely tear it out. She cut out the whole living room carpet, burnt it, and was in the act of waxing it when I walked in. The woman was a force of nature. It would’ve taken me a week to do it!
She continued that way. Sadly, I didn’t get into genealogy until after she passed. I remember asking her about certain folks and hearing her photographic memory kick into gear: “Well, he was borned in July of 1938, at that little house there by Log Hall Church house. It was hot that day, and I went to see that baby in a white dress and Lord, it was so hot!” She could recall it all, good times and bad.
Looking back, I sometimes question why God has blessed me so richly. He gifted me a life around people who were a generation or so back, and who helped tie me to the land in a time where so many accept being rootless and thinking of the almighty dollar. I can still see in my mind’s eye my great-grandmother coming out of the rows of green corn by her house, then in her 80s, with a gardening hoe in hand and a hard day’s work nearly behind her.
She finished life that way, working ’til nearly the end. Looking back, I think that finally becoming unable to work was what finished her. She died a couple months after a bad fall on February 19, 2009, in Harrison, Arkansas. I went and saw her shortly before she passed. I refuse to remember her as she was in that hospital bed. She outlived her sons, her parents, and her husband. She was always a force in our lives, a rock to cling and latch to. She never forgot a name, place or person. She could home cook to feed an army every Sunday and still be in good spirits to talk as we ate, as she made her way around, making sure everyone had enough (or more) to eat. Her fried apple pies were phenomenal.
My great-grandmother was Edna Holt. She was one of the hundreds of thousands of such grandmothers across the South who took care of and saw after her family, both in infancy and adulthood, and never stopped until she passed. She was worthy of remembrance, just as all of them were.
This short essay has went over my usual allotted amount of jargon, but even that does no justice to her. She was our matriarch. She was strong, tough and resourceful. The Depression merely taught her lessons. She passed them on to us and made us all better. She was a rose amongst thorns, a tough hill climber who farmed and raised all she ate and put back all she made to give her kids a better life. She was a force, an unbending one. She held us when we were sad and embraced us when we were happy. Her nearly 90 years on this earth were far too short, but it would’ve never been enough if she lived to be 200 years old.
She was my grandma.

At this point, an apology is only good for temporarily placating a woman with whom you are in a romantic relationship. In any other context, it serves no utility beyond an admission of guilt and an invitation for further aggression. If you’re willing to humiliate yourself like this, you have no moral ground to complain about whatever happens next. What happens next is that you get cancelled, so you could’ve just kept your dignity for the entire process. Your dignity is what’s at stake, the getting cancelled part is already a done deal.

Life offers a man many options, such as not capitulating to his enemies. Like I already said, this is especially true when it would serve no utility, which it never does once you’ve done a racism. A world of inspiration on this matter abounds. For example, that fat guy from North Korea.

When he’s threatened with being cancelled, he replies with a nuclear strike plan. He’s still on the job, and that ain’t a coincidence. So, actually maybe Joe could’ve kept his show if he didn’t apologize. He should’ve paid attention to the fate of Qaddafi, who agreed to their disarmament demands and ended up getting sodomized to death with a rifle on global television as a reward for his compliance.
When these people want you gone, any concession made to them furthers the process of getting you gone. Once you get your first shots, it’s time for your booster and then one after another until you drop dead. The only scenario where you should consider making some concessions is if you’re being held captive at a remote location by Kathy Bates following a car accident during a blizzard. This could make life easier for you.
I’m not a genius trying to elucidate some esoteric principle of the universe. I’m merely pointing out one of the immutable truths of our age and I ain’t sorry about a damn thing although I’d probably beg Kathy not to break my legs.
The post Don’t Be Sorry appeared first on Identity Dixie.
I remember when I was first exposed to the sin that is uniquely ascribed to the Southern people – I was a boy in the fourth grade in East Tennessee when our history teacher, a portly, middle-aged spinster from some flyover state in the Midwest, regaled us with tales of that “peculiar institution”: horrific accounts of abuses by cruel slave masters, and on the other hand tales of the brave abolitionists who “risked their lives” to free the slaves out of nothing but the goodness of their own hearts, “heroes” such as Harriet Tubman – a criminal who nearly killed someone for daring to get cold feet in his escape, by the way – and finally the war that erupted so that America’s greatest President, Abraham Lincoln, could emancipate the Negro race from the cruel South, fighting to keep them bonded and beaten forever. The fact that the entire month of lessons on slavery and the Civil War were designed to invoke shame and guilt in easily impressionable nine-year-olds was obvious enough for me to tell, even at that young age. I was certainly upset that I was being shamed for something that I had no part in, but the more absurd portion of this public-school guilt trip was that many of the children who were being lectured weren’t Southern – their parents had moved to my hometown from the North. A few were not even White, yet were being treated as if they were George Wallace voters in 1962!
It was at that time that I first learned about propaganda. Even as a young boy, the tales of slaves being beaten half to death by cruel masters for not picking cotton fast enough didn’t make a lot of sense to me, especially after we’d just read about how expensive slaves were – so much so that four-fifths of the Southern population, on average, owned none, and only one percent owned more than 200. What sane man would ruin the equivalent of thousands of dollars in such a manner? An injured man can’t work at all. Would you intentionally cripple your mule for not being able to carry enough weight, or kill your cat for not catching enough mice, or, to use a closer example, light your combine harvester on fire for failing to meet a quota? Of course not, and it’s patently absurd to suggest otherwise. The image we gasped at in our textbook of a slave that had been whipped so much his back resembled tree roots under soil served much the same purpose as it did two hundred and fifty-some odd years ago, when yellow journalists in some Northern city published it in an abolitionist rag – horrifying the general populace by taking the worst outliers of any institution and equating them with the practice as a whole, just like they do nowadays whenever some nutjob shooting and killing children is used as evidence to conclude that all firearm owners are lunatics who will engage in mass murder if stricter laws are not passed against them. The propaganda machine has been at it for quite a while. In America, the prevailing narrative on Southern slavery has reached the level of the absurd, such as with professional “social activist” (race hustler) Marcus Sanders – better known as Tariq Nasheed’s – claims of “Buck Breaking,” events in which he claims White, devout Christian Southern slave owners would hold parties for the purpose of committing group sodomy against male slaves. It is funny until we take a step back and realize that a not insignificant number of blacks in America genuinely believe abuses of a similar manner, that even the most strident abolitionist of the 1850s would find hard to believe, happened to their ancestors.
Slavery is today a specific evil ascribed only to the South, even though it has been practiced, and in some cases continues to be practiced, by every single group of people on Earth. Nor was the South’s form of slavery uniquely horrifying – the slave trade was abolished in the United States well before its colonial European neighbors, the Caribbean sugar plantations made Alabama cotton fields positively appealing by comparison, and Ottoman sex slavery made them look like five-star vacation resorts. It was not even a practice that was solely unique to the states of the Confederacy – quintessential Yankee state New Jersey had slaves all the way until the end of the War. But, nonetheless, because Lincoln so shrewdly attached the baggage of slavery to the South for their part in the War Between the States, it has become a blight that will haunt it until the end of time.
I do believe, however, that Southern slavery ended up being a negative for this country and people – but before you get the torches and pitchforks out, I do not believe that there’s anything morally wrong with it. Today, you will hear arguments that “the Bible condemns slavery.” This is one that is never made in good faith – a cursory readthrough of the Scriptures will inform you of that. Just ask someone making this argument to read Leviticus 25:44 and ask him what that means – if he argues that this part of Mosaic Law no longer applies to Christians, just ask him if he believes in supersessionism and watch his head spin as he justifies himself. Likewise, you will find no condemnation of the practice in the New Testament. There are some that like to claim that Paul condemned slavery – he did not. The only line that he ever wrote that could be in any way interpreted to be such can be more easily read as a prohibition on kidnapping. Paul does not command Philemon to immediately free Onesimus and do penance for his evil – instead, he simply asks that the former forgive the latter and receive him as a brother. Christ Himself used the metaphor of the slave and master to reflect mankind’s relationship with God – certainly a strange choice if you believe, as liberal theologians do, that God treats slavery as inherently wrong. The prohibition that the Scriptures does contain is on masters committing abuses of slaves, which lines up neatly with the Bible’s similar commandments to husbands and parents. A final argument that my fellow Orthodox Christians (such as the modernists at Fordham) will sometimes use the decisions of the Council of Constantinople in 1872 as further proof that the Church condemns slavery. That decision is nothing of the sort – it is a condemnation of national politics infecting the Church and proves that the Church is above worldly ethnic nationalism. It has as little to do with slavery as a football game does. Likewise, although many Church Fathers have offered their opinions on slavery, and some have condemned it, that is their own position as private theologians – the Church as a whole remains silent on this issue. But that is enough of this topic.
Those who actually acknowledge that slavery existed in other places on Earth – such as in the Roman Empire, for instance – may point out that the South’s version (helpfully denoted as “chattel slavery”) is uniquely evil because it was done on the basis of ethnicity instead of debt or war. Such arguments rarely take into account the Irish laborers in various parts of North America who had their “indentured servitude” contracts bought, sold, or indefinitely extended, or the free blacks who themselves owned slaves, but this is neither here nor there – New World slavery was largely of an ethnic character. I do actually agree with this insofar as I believe creating a caste system and assigning one group the permanent status of “slave” is a purely pragmatically terrible idea, and it’s responsible for most of the ills that have plagued the South ever since the end of the War. For certain, Southern slavery was not the only caste system to exist in the world, nor was it the most brutal – for instance, there was no freedom for Dalits in India, Cagots in France or burakumin in Japan – but inevitably, caste systems end, and what results is never a positive for the nation.
What makes slavery stand out among the caste systems of antiquity is that it is temporary by design – it is only a system that is feasible in a pre-industrialized, agrarian society. The institution would have ended no matter what the results of the War were – it was already growing unprofitable and impractical by the time hostilities kicked off at Fort Sumter, as cotton exports from British colonies, such as Egypt, flooded the market and technological advances in agricultural harvesting made it an increasing money drain to purchase, feed, and house humans. Virginia was already seriously considering ending slavery in 1838 due to the increasing unprofitability, before the actions of one Nat Turner put an end to that discussion. The last country in the world to abolish slavery was Brazil in 1888, and at that time the practice was basically dead anyway, as former slave-owners found that it was much more practical to employ some of the many European immigrants flooding the country to farm, cook, or do whatever slaves could do, as they would happily work much harder for wages that added up, in the long term, to be less than the cost of buying, feeding, and housing a slave. If the South had won the War, it is likely slavery would not have lasted any longer.
That is not to say that the War and the abrupt end to Southern slavery didn’t matter, because of course it did. It made the problems that faced post-slavery states such as Brazil and various Caribbean islands thousands of times worse. The main downside of caste systems is that they breed resentment. For groups located toward the bottom of the totem pole, that status, and that anger, becomes part of their founding myth as a people. This is especially true in ethnic caste systems, and even worse with New World slavery because it, as mentioned above, is guaranteed to end at some point. Though “equality” is a noble goal, it never works out in practice. Raising a group at the bottom of the pyramid to the same level as everyone else does not mean that peace and cooperation will follow – you cannot heal a wound that has been festering for centuries with one band-aid. If a group’s identity is based around being wronged, as lower-caste groups’ identities nearly universally are, all elevating them to the same legal and social status as the group that they believe wronged them will do is provide them with the means to get their vengeance on the group that they perceive, rightly or wrongly, as having been their oppressor. It is even worse when the lower-caste group is given legal advantages in order to propel them to the same status as higher-caste groups – they will use these advantages not to advance their own group but instead bring down the group that they hate. We have seen this in the First Reconstruction – groups of newly freed blacks, enabled by corrupt Radical Republican governments, committed murder, rape, robbery, and arson against the men and women who had once been their masters (and many more who had not) on a wide scale, and we saw it again as gangs of blacks set Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, Washington, and many more cities alight two summers ago. We have seen it in South Africa, where elderly Boers are being stabbed to death in their homes while the government that Nelson Mandela founded on the principle of equality for all seizes land from Whites and bans the old flag for being “hate speech.” We see it in Japan, where Zainichi Koreans constantly demand more government assistance despite the fact that they receive more than a living wage even though they do not possess Japanese citizenship at all, and routinely profess their support for North Korea. We see it in India, where Brahmins are reduced to begging on the streets of Calcutta and living underneath tarps while Dravidian tribes and Dalits demand even larger quotas at public universities. Their anger will never be sated no matter what the government or private citizens do for them, because their enslavement is their very ethnogenesis, and for blacks the Southerner is the Egyptian to their Israelite. The end of slavery created a ready-made fifth column – a population of malcontents who have every incentive to be malcontented. Many slimy politicians have taken advantage of the fact that you can still whip American blacks into a violent frenzy today by pointing the finger at someone and accusing them of racism or Confederate sympathy, and that you can keep them voting for policies that are objectively terrible for them by accusing the opponent of the same things. Even many blacks, such as the great economist Thomas Sowell, have pointed out how self-destructive this mindset is. Comedian Chris Rock bemoaned the absurdity of blacks treating O.J. Simpson being acquitted for double murder as if it was some sort of triumph for his race. Rodney King pleaded for “everyone to get along” – it didn’t stop four of his supporters from nearly killing Reginald Denny. People are not a monolith, but singular voices alone cannot change a culture.
Perhaps the system of slavery that was practiced by the Greeks and Romans would have been better for this country, as it did not discriminate – slavery was an unfortunate condition that anyone could find himself in with enough bad luck, but it was also something that it was possible to earn one’s way out of, instead of being something that you are born in and die in due to your skin color or national origin (of course, you could also earn your way out of New World slavery, but that detail is often deliberately overlooked). It certainly would have been more in line with the way that proud Southerners Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and many others modeled the government of the United States off of with Athens and Rome. But it is no use wondering about how things would have been different if the world had taken a slightly different course – the effects of slavery are here with us to stay. Neither is it useful to fantasize about things such as deporting all the blacks in America on the first ship to Monrovia – nothing would invite the attention of a UN “peacekeeping force” more than that. Violent fantasies are the territory of lowlifes such as the Bowl Patrol idiots and federal agents. The opposite solution – attempting to court the black population – is as much of a pipe dream. It has not worked for Republicans for decades, and it will work even less for Southern Nationalists. No article or statue or outreach effort will change the fact that our heroes are their boogeymen, and vice versa.
Rather, the solution here is to leave them alone as we wish to be left alone. Our movement and their group ideology are diametrically opposed – that’s okay. We don’t have to get along, but we do need to not mess with each other. Self-determination is the most peaceful way to go. And it goes without saying that violence that is not in defense of your home, property, or family/community is absolutely unacceptable. Unprovoked violence against innocents is both morally wrong and the stupidest thing that followers of an ideology could ever do. The things you do need to do, if you ever encounter a member of the black community attempting to shame or guilt you over slavery, is to gently remind him that you will not apologize for something that you took no part in and he was not victimized by, and that you are proud of your ancestors and will not apologize for their actions, either, and that he would be better served taking those complaints elsewhere. If he actually has an interest in peaceful coexistence, then the message will be understood. If not, and he is just using it as an excuse to cause trouble, it’s fair to say that the civilized world is not going to look highly upon him. The effects of slavery are still with us today – we can’t change that. What we can change is our mindset toward it, and how we react to it. I hope you can, as well.

The current state of Antifa is pretty hilarious:
Be Antifa.
Be against local and community police.
Support federal police arresting Jan 6 protestors.
Be anti-state or corporate control.
Support vaccine mandates by state and corporations.
Be “anti-fascist” (Where fascism is state control through the use of corporations).
Support Big Pharma uniting with the state to finance and mandate their product.
The irony does not go unnoticed. But like most things in our current world, everything is inverted.
Up is down. Left is right. Antifa is fascist.
What is arguably the most interesting characteristic of Antifa is their soft alliance with socialism, which is complete state ownership of the market. They want the state to provide everything for them, but they also want to be anti-state. Antifa is anti-control but simultaneously demand total control.
What it boils down to is their acceptance of complete state control, but with the asterisk mentioning that they don’t want that state to be a fascist state. They want it to be the perfect utopian state that they imagine, providing things freely to them while destroying every right-winger in a fascist-like manner. This is modernity’s version of anti-fascism.
This is noticed in their actions. They have no problem assaulting or doxxing people on the Right, and welcome it when the Feds do it, but would be aghast if any community police department did it against them. We saw this exact scenario unfold in Portland. In Portland, the Antifa assaulted the Proud Boys repeatedly and applauded when the Feds arrested any right-wing demonstrators. Then, they turned around and tried to burn down the local police department for posting mugshots of their own rioters.
Another example of this is with the constant Antifa doxxing. They are notorious for their doxxing brigades, where they will find out where a person who holds non-conforming opinions lives and works. Once they have that information, they will contact their employers and try to get them fired or will contact the state and try to get them in other trouble. Both methods, ironically, use the state, institutions, or corporations to their benefit. So, Antifa is not afraid to use these tools that they claim to disdain, and they often do so with great cheer when the state or corporate crushes the non-believer.
Antifa members are strongly emotional creatures, as are most on the Left. This hypocrisy will not break their will because they do not see this issue as a rational or logical one. Instead, they see it as a moral one. Anti-fascist, even in its name, is a moral argument. It’s an appeal to their perceived, and subjective, morality. It is against the “evils of fascism,” regardless of how they define that term. Because of this, it is somewhat like a religion, in the case that it cannot be rationally debated.
You’ll get nowhere trying to talk down Antifa with rational, open, and honest debate. The only thing that can work is an emotional appeal, similar to dealing with young children. Still, I would caution against this. The best defense for zealots that have gone this extreme is avoidance. Antifa members are one of the highest categories of useful idiots for the state, and they will not hesitate to use the state or corporations against you, if they find out that you do not agree with them.

Let me start by revealing that I am a senior in college and close to graduating, I won’t indicate which college for the purposes of anonymity. While I’m sure there are plenty of people who already know that colleges are aggressively liberal, I would like to give an overview of my time in school. Perhaps my experiences will offer some amount of hope to perspective students, parents of students, or even just people who are disheartened with the state of our university system.
Firstly, I wish I could tell you college has been perfect, I can’t, but it also hasn’t been as bad as I feared. Academically, it’s hard to say much about the college experience. There are classes that I had to drop because I didn’t want to deal with openly progressive professors (predominately, in the history or religion courses). The professors, who I would consider pretty good in these classes, still don’t agree with me on most things, but they aren’t so pushy about their views where I feared it would impact my grades. Many “teachers” (especially those in courses that aren’t opinion-based) are actually just foreign graduate students, many of whom do not speak English well and also do not even understand their subjects. As a student in an engineering field, this was the biggest obstacle for me, since I couldn’t simply drop core classes. Current students have also had to deal extensively with masks and vaccine mandates but, more importantly, online classes.
I refused the vaccine and had to be tested for COVID every week. Not the worst thing but annoying, nonetheless. In all honesty, most of the professors can’t be bothered to take any action against you if you don’t wear a mask, but you do occasionally have unwanted interactions with busybody lesbians insisting you wear one. Again, not a huge issue, since you can really just ignore people or tell them no. While these aren’t massive problems on their own, they are irritating. Online classes were the real plague during COVID. Personally, I managed to do fine during all online semesters, but I know many people who weren’t able to ever get the hang of it. The environment is entirely different, the tests had huge cheating problems, tech challenges arose, none of the professors try to get to know you (good luck getting recommendations from them in the future), and socialization with your classmates was greatly minimized.
Now, here comes the good news. You aren’t alone in being a conservative in college, as much as the Diversity and Inclusion Department would like you to believe. I’ve visited friends in colleges in a number of states and it’s always the same. If you’re a conservative and looking for support while in college, here’s my advice: go to church, it takes work to find good churches in a college town and it’ll be draining to search, but when you find a good one, you’ll have a place you can come back to no matter what. Avoid liberal hubs at all costs (I love coffee, but I’d rather get my coffee at a local gas station than a café with a gay flag). Talk with people from the Agriculture Department, 8 out of 10 students in Ag are good ol’ boys and more than happy to get into mischief with you.
Share your opinion, it can be hard to do this, and you will upset people, but it’s better to be a beacon for others than to go through life trying to please people who will hate you for your beliefs. If you need a job during the semester, try to get one with the Facilities Department or another place where it will be blue collar work. Take care of yourself, it may be superficial, but you can’t hold even remotely fringe views and be unhygienic (you don’t have to be an Adonis, but don’t come off as weird or gross).
Obviously, every experience will differ from person to person, but you need to remember that what you think is the hard and fast culture of a place is usually disinformation. If you keep friends close, family closer, and God closest, you will be able to thrive in even the most liberal of places – including college.

Any movement that seeks to have any success must make “base areas.” Base areas are locations your party, movement, or organization uses to build up the local community – and with that community, you gain loyalty and strength. Today, I see movements that seem effective but don’t build up those base areas, they are seen as outsiders and have no love or support from the local community. If an organization like Patriot Front built up and invested in some small area in rural Tennessee or America First “Groypers” supported a neglected area in southern Texas, they would have base areas that would favor the group, no matter the media lies about them. Let’s say a Floridian group was helping out the local community in Leesburg, they could assist with its many issues. It may help with a recent fire by offering aid to the local people who lost their homes and possessions, or they could help the homeless/poor population by running a food drive. Also, they could clean up areas after natural disasters or, unfortunately, clean up local parks in the wake of rude Yankee tourists.
The point is this – you need to work for your people, if you want them to work with you.
“Revolution in a modern society is based on creating a counter society in the base areas which are under the Party’s control.”
Kai Murros
You need to build a loyal area of operations for your movement and/or group. Eventually, having and embracing these organizational skills and projects, will help you in actually running a parallel enterprise. You need to effectively replace the local government by providing a better alternative. Make your party (the Party) an integral element of daily life, no local person will be ignorant of the party and no local will have hatred for the party. Take over some small district by winning the hearts and minds of the people – in turn, you can use this as a jumping-off point to gain new base areas and new followers.
The goal is to replace the liberal capitalist system and use this to refine and define your movement’s stratagem. Furthermore, “creating a base area will be begun by organizing a local Party chapter after which the organization will give a declaration concerning its goals and methods in the area,” per Kai Murros. By making sports clubs, or some other physical group, you can keep your members healthy and promote wellness. You want your nation represented by healthy, strong men, not obese people who can’t even jog half a mile.
The party can (if big enough) use its strength and organization to replace the police in a local community and, via legal and ethical means, remove any tumors of violence and destruction plaguing them. You need to make the area secure before you can gain any sense of loyalty from the people. An idea Kai promotes is making a voluntary labor front, you can use this to protect the community from being exploited by outsiders (or insidious insiders). You need the party (or your movement) to be in lockstep and work together in unison. Of course, infighting will spell its downfall. You will also need to collect information on who needs help (financial or otherwise) and help them in any way you can. Again, your mission is to help and promote your people.
The strategy is to gain these base areas and slowly and carefully expand them. By doing so, you can try to free your homeland from the tentacles of liberal capitalism.
