Feds worry China will copy Washington, DC's imperialist ways
'China needs a permanent naval base overseas to resupply its ships contributing to the multinational
anti-piracy flotilla in the Gulf of Aden off Somalia, a prominent Chinese naval researcher was quoted as saying Wednesday.
The suggestion marks a further step away from China’s avowed policy of not maintaining foreign military bases or alliances.
Beijing says a more active naval presence abroad is necessary to protect sea lanes through which its vital foreign trade and
natural resources travel.'
Notice that the article is from the imperial navy, an organisation that has bases
all over the world and daily wages aggressive attacks on multiple continents against people who have never attacked us.
'The intrusion of alien professors pushing an alien worldview into Southern classrooms unfortunately
has had the most telling effect on our colleges and universities. Not only o we find our historic symbols and traditions sacrificed
to the gods of political correctness, but our classrooms have become hothouses of anti-Southern propaganda.'
'State Senator Joseph E. Robach has his eye on secession; the Republican proposed legislation that would
allow the state's 62 counties to hold a referendum in 2010 asking voters: “Do you support the division of New York into
two separate states?” The Senator, who represents Rochester, claims “there is a large degree of apparent support
for dividing New York into two separate states, so as to separate the distinct social and political concerns between upstate
and downstate New York." In fact, he thinks upstate New York has "more in common with Pennsylvania and Ohio than
with New York City."'
'US support for the raids reflects concerns on both sides of the Atlantic that multiple conflicts in
Yemen - including the fight against al Qaeda, a five-year war against tribal rebels in the north that has dragged neighboring
Saudi Arabia into the hostilities, a secession movement in the south, rampant inflation and unemployment, dwindling oil revenues
and an acute water shortage - could turn Yemen into the strategic region's next failed state alongside Somalia.'
Another conflict that the US government just had to stick its nose into. The Feds are, of course, supporting a very unpopular
government in Yemen and already are killing people in the country opposed to the central regime. This is standard operating
procedure for Washington, DC. It will have consequences for us back in North America, too. Funny, isn't it, how some people
get mad when foreigners bomb their country and kill their relatives? Some of those people will go to great lengths to strike
back at the country which inflicted that pain upon them. When they do, the Feds will call them 'terrorists' and will accuse
them of being evil people who hate us for no reason. It's virtually guaranteed that Federal involvement in Yemen will create
more attacks on us here at home. And with the US already involved in most of the Middle East, you can be assured that the
Feds have already pushed millions in that region to hate us - people who largely have no other means of striking
back at the US other than through terrorist-style attacks. So, brace yourself for more bombings, more suicide attacks,
more killings, more murder and chaos. This is what the US government does for us - it makes us less safe.
'The city of Corinth has formally accepted a $266,000 Community Heritage Grant to help preserve the
Verandah-Curlee House Museum. The house, built in 1857, was used as a headquarters for both Confederate and Federal generals
during the Civil War [sic]. The Daily Corinthian reports that grant is in addition to money already raised for the initial
work on a deteriorating foundation. Restoration funds now total almost $600,000.'
'Now, if, as is thus proven, the states are sovereign, and that the Federal Government is simply a compact
between the parties, with authority exceedingly restricted and definitely limited, can this feeble authority make war
upon the States?...
Therefore, this war of the General Government against the South is illegal, being unconstitutional,
and should not be sustained if we are to regard the Constitution as still binding an in force.'
'The Washington political machine is spinning wildly out of control. Both political parties are two
sides of the same coin. Neither party stands for Constitutionality, small government and fiscal responsibility. Even if you
elect new representatives, senators and Presidents, the Washington culture will quickly corrupt them by requiring the officials
to court contributions while lobbyists shower them with money and perks. In addition, Congress has created vast bureaucracies
that grow and infest the nation unabated. Finally, and most importantly, the elected officeholders in Washington do not recognize
any control or restraint on their power to enact unconstitutional laws and spend money in excess of tax revenues. Washington
has borrowed trillions of dollars from the world that will never be repaid. If there is a solution to bring Washington back
into compliance with the Constitution, I have not seen it to this date.'
'Much of it has been replaced with bogus government culture. In every
hamlet and county, the Yankee empire has planted 'Arts Councils', which have as much to do with cultivating arts as those
high-school condom giveaways have to do with cultivating chastity.'
Sons of Confederate Veterans add fence around Oakwood monument
'Sons of Confederate Veterans have made their first major improvement to Richmond's Oakwood Cemetery
under an agreement with the city to maintain the Confederate portion of the property. A $35,000 iron fence was installed yesterday
around the Soldiers' Monument by Colonial Iron Works of Petersburg, with meticulous oversight by F. Lee Hart III of Suffolk,
chairman of the SCV Oakwood Restoration Committee. The fence reproduces a feature that disappeared about 1916. The reproduction
fence stands on top of 5,200 pounds of granite block. Its design is based on a photo that shows what the monument looked like
in the early 1900s.'
Taliban warns Feds they will go the way of the USSR
'On the occasion of the 31st anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Taliban asked the
US to immediately withdraw its forces from the country to avoid meeting the fate of the USSR. A statement issued by the Taliban’s
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and sent to the Afghan Islamic Press, The News and other media organisations, said: “As
a last resort, US President Obama ordered sending 30,000 troops to Afghanistan against the wishes of his nation and due to
the pressure of the war-loving generals of the Pentagon.'
This is a very interesting piece and worth reading
in its entirety. The Taliban's points on the issue of Federal involvement in the country are right on - they make
a lot of sense, actually. The US Empire will fall if its continues its policies. And it is losing
the occupation of Afghanistan to a rag-tag but determined militia of people fighting to kick the occupiers out of their homeland.
The Feds will not succeed where every other empire in history that tried this has failed - that much is certain.
It was German philosopher Hegel who noted, 'What experience and history teach is this - that people and governments never have learned anything from
history, or acted on principles deduced from it.'
Religion - one of the things that makes Dixie different
Take a look at this chart. It clearly points how different the South is from the rest of the US Empire.
Despite massive immigration into Dixie and even after 150 years of US occupation, the fact that we are nation is readily
apparent.
The US Federal Government supports some secessionists around the globe and opposes others, picking and choosing
with no apparent logic. What right do the Feds have to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries with our tax money?
'The United States is helping southern Sudan prepare for secession by ejecting a chuck
of $1 billion in annual US aid to achieve that objective, admitted head of Sudanese People's Liberation Movement's mission
to the United States, Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, adding that the aid to south Sudan is going to build roads, train police
and professionalize a separate army capable of protecting the region, according to him. "The United States government,
one of their goals now, is to make sure southern Sudan in 2011 is a viable state," he said.'
'The Obama administration's decision to cover an unlimited amount of losses at the mortgage-finance
giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac over the next three years stirred controversy over the holiday. The Treasury announced Thursday
it was removing the caps that limited the amount of available capital to the companies to $200 billion each.'
Remember, it's not too late to take down your stars and stripes, quit the Federal military, stop paying taxes and in general
oppose this evil system of corruption, murder and theft we are forced to live under today. It's time to resist DC.
Our friend, musician and activist - Terry Warren- is interviewed and plays three songs (one of which has never been released on YouTube or anywhere else) for y'all. This
is the entire interview and everything. Y'all be sure not to miss this!
'So, on Christmas eve, December 24, 1914, the troops on either side of the front line, settled down
to special food, special liquor, special rest – and the singing of Christmas carols. Kaiser Wilhelm had ordered that
100,000 Christmas trees be delivered to the German trenches for Christmas eve, thinking that the expense of such an irrational
act was justified because, after all, the war was soon to be won by the superior German army and so using the supply lines
for such unnecessary items seemed to be an acceptable expense. And then a spontaneous event happened at various spots on the
700-mile-long trench line that stretched between Belgium and France. The singing of Christmas carols started a chain of events
that resulted in an event that was never to be repeated in the history of warfare after that night.'
'Michael Prysner and James Circello, staff members of March Forward!, an antiwar organization for active duty soldiers and veterans, discuss the bigotry ingrained in military
culture that dehumanizes the enemy du jour, the class struggle between enlisted soldiers and officers, the intentional “draw
fire” missions that boost an officer’s career while endangering troops, double-dipping retired generals who get
paid to propagandize for more war, the continued deployment of soldiers with PTSD and the Pentagon’s fear of a mass
GI desertion.'
I know there is a tradional martial spirit in Dixie, however the government that rules over
us today is truly not worth serving. It's one thing to defend your people and land from invasion - that is certainly honourable.
It's quite another to go overseas and kill people who are resisting the invasion of their own land. Enlisting in the
ranks of the Federal military will not result in you 'defending our country' but rather in serving the whims of evil
politicians and the elite in NY and DC. There's nothing honourable about that. It's time to put ourselves to work for something
more decent than the Empire.
On this Christmas Day, I find it strange that the people who would probably most profess to be Christians
and followers of the Prince of Peace are urging war with a large nation in the Middle East which has never attacked us, poses
zero danger to us and is following all international guidelines: Iran. Strange, indeed.
'Support for war
with Iran is, of course, most concentrated among Republicans and self-described conservatives. 79% of Republicans believe
that the U.N.’s response to Iran’s nuclear program has not been aggressive enough. Just 9% of Republicans believe
it has been too aggressive.'
This Christmas let's remember what a mess the warmongers amongst us got us in
in Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan. How many tens of thousands of our people died for nothing? How much of our
money was stolen by DC to fund these aggressive wars? How many of our liberties were stripped away from us in the war hysteria?
And how many innocent people just minding their own business in those foreign lands lost their lives or property in the chaos
of war. This Christmas, let's remember we supposedly serve the Prince of Peace, not of war.
Imagine a Confederate association of free lands in Dixie where government is limited and voluntary. Imagine
no income, property or sales taxes but instead each person being able to keep the full sum of their honest income. Imagine
voluntary associations of people seeing to the needs of the unfit. Imagine no standing central military but instead local
militias which are voluntarily funded and staffed. Imagine no redistribution of wealth but instead free markets. Imagine self-ownership
and no restrictions on consumption or property rights. Imagine Washington, DC having no power to rob us, kill us or restrict
our God-given rights as free people. Imagine no involvement in foreign wars. Imagine individual sovereignty. Imagine a free
South!
Federal Senate votes to hike DC's debt limit by $290 billion
'With the federal government inching close to the debt ceiling, the Senate on Thursday passed a $290
billion increase to the amount of debt the Treasury is allowed to have. The 60-39 vote follows House approval earlier this
month of the same measure. President Obama is expected to sign the bill soon. The new law raises the debt ceiling to $12.394
trillion from $12.104 trillion.'
The spending madness continues with the Federal Government totally out of
control.
'Since President Obama's election, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin have been consistently lecturing from
the rooftops in favor of free market capitalism and getting the government out of our lives. These conservatives advocate
the Founders’ views of "limited government" and private property rights when it comes to government’s
invasions of our personal and economic lives. Then, they contradict themselves by enthusiastically supporting the US government’s
expansion and invasions into the lives and property of people on foreign lands.'
Neo-cons are probably the
most blood-thirsty people in our society. They cheer on the US military as it kills foreigners and they whine if unindicted,
untried people the government claims are 'enemy combatants' are treated anything like human beings with natural, God-given
rights. There's no figuring neo-cons. I just think they're evil.
Sudan: Preparing for a peaceful southern secession
'In 2005, unity between north and south was still a possibility. Now, secession by the South is almost
certain. If so, it is essential to bring about a smooth separation and ensure that both states — in whatever form —
can peacefully coexist after 2011.'
Self-determination and peaceful coexistence. Wow, what a concept! Too
bad the US government hates those ideas or else Dixie, the American Indian nations and other areas of North America could
be free and self-governing instead of under the oppressive thumb of Washington, DC.
US-backed Yemeni government used lethal force to quell southern secession protests
'Yemen used inappropriate, and at times lethal, force in response to demonstrations held by the largely
nonviolent southern separatist movement during the past year, says New York-based Human Rights Watch in a report published
Dec. 15. As a result, the report concluded, Yemen has created a humanitarian crisis and fed the secessionists’ narrative
that they are marginalized by the central government in the capital of Sanaa.'
Remember that the Yemen central
government is supported by Washington, DC. Just the other day, the Feds murdered 120 people in that country who were resisting the central government there. The US government has a long, disgusting record
of killing secessionists here in North America and around the world.
Lysander Spooner on why democracy is not a good idea
'The principle that the majority have a right to rule the minority, practically resolves all government
into a mere contest between two bodies of men, as to which of them shall be masters, and which of them slaves; a contest,
that - however bloody - can, in the nature of things, never be finally closed, so long as man refuses to be a slave.'
'It’s not too late to sign up for the Abbeville Institute’s annual scholars’ conference on Nullification, Secession, and the Human Scale of Politics in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina,
the first week in February. The focus of the discussions will be on how to peacefully escape the clutches of a welfare/warfare
state empire. The beautiful and spacious Francis Marion Hotel is walking distance from all the best shops and restaurants
in Charleston, and not far from Fort Sumter and The Battery.'

President Jefferson Davis Monument in southern Kentucky
Today I was traveling back home to South Carolina from a trip up North and happened to pass near the Jeff
Davis monument in southern Kentucky. I couldn't miss out on a chance to see the impressive memorial. Even though it was closed
for the season and I couldn't go to the top, I still got the chance to take some pictures and videos of it (which will be
coming soon here). I highly recommend checking it out if you are ever in the area - and if you're not in the area, it's well
worth making the trip to see!
On this day in 1860 the State of South Carolina proclaimed her independence and secession from the United States. For her
decision to be free the US military was ordered to invade and destroy the Palmetto State. The formerly voluntary Union of
Washington and Jefferson was to become an involuntary association - and has remained so to this day.
Proportionally
South Carolina lost more of its young men of fighting age in the Federal invasion of the 1860's than did any other Southern
State. Recorded deaths were 18,666 but fatalities may have reached 21,146. This was 31-35% of the total of white men of ages
18-45 recorded in the 1860 census for South Carolina.

Secessionist Larry Kilgore drops out of TX governor's race
'Kilgore, a conservative activist who espouses Texas' withdrawal from the union, threw his support behind

and his leading challenger, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.'
Just one day after a very public denial that American forces were in the process of attacking sites

Is there any confusion about why many Muslims hate the US? Wouldn't you too hate a regime that daily bombs your
people in such a cowardly manner from afar and then self-righteously claims anyone who opposes them 'hates us for our
freedom'? What a sad, sick and disgusting government.
Confederates to rally at the South Carolina State House on Jan. 23, 2010
'Confederate flag supporters from around the South will be rallying at the South Carolina State House
in Columbia. The rally comes as an act of protest to a bill currently in the house titled H-3588 which is said that if passed
it will remove the Confederate Battle Flag flying in honor over the South Carolina Confederate soldiers monument on the state
house lawn. It is also said that the bill may bring about the removal of the monument completely.'
Confederate flag can fly at cemetary despite NAACP protest
'The city’s new cemetery ordinance passed on its second reading,
but not before the issue of the Confederate flag flew at Lake Wales commissioners for consideration Tuesday night. City Manager
Judy Delmar said members of the Daughters of the American Revolution had called Lake Wales officials to request the city expand
the rule about allowing only American flags to be flown on veterans' graves on the traditional patriotic holidays of Veteran's
Day, Memorial Day, and July 4. The DAR noted April 26 is a national holiday commemorating Civil War veterans and asked commissioners
to consider allowing people to hang a Confederate flag on Civil War veterans' graves. David Smith, president of the Lake Wales
Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said "we are inviting problems when we start
talking about anything other than American flags."'
Notice that the NAACP is all for only one flag: the
Federal Government's banner. Any other flag is 'inviting problems' in their mind. Is that what modern America is about
- everyone being exactly the same? Apparently the NAACP is only for 'diversity' in certain cases.

$2.8 billion contract in Military-Industrial Complex upended by GAO
Of course, in the overall scheme of things this is small potatoes. However, it does show how large companies
connected to the war machine in DC make out like a bandit at our expense.
'The Government Accountability Office
upended a defense contract worth up to $2.8 billion Monday, pulling back an Army award for medium-sized trucks to Oshkosh
based on protests from two competing companies – BAE Systems and Navistar.'
'A smattering of villages and towns in rich, independence-minded Catalonia gave a lukewarm embrace to
the idea of breaking away from Spain in a rare vote Sunday at the grassroots level. Skeptics called the nonbinding vote
an exercise in futility for the proud region centered around Barcelona, which boasts a distinct cultural identity
and accounts for about one-fifth of Spain's economy but says it get does not get enough in return. But an umbrella group of
civic organizations behind the referendum saw it as a way to assert the distinct identity of what they regard as a country
within a country and to pressure politicians in Madrid and Barcelona to pay more attention to them.'
George Carlin was right when he said that war was the only metaphor used in America (warning: sure to contain strong language). He said, '"We have to declare war on everything. We have the war
on crime, the war on poverty, the war on litter, the war on cancer, the war on drugs.'
Proving Carlin right...
'Global warming is now officially considered a threat to U.S. national security. For the first time, Pentagon

In the midst
of an economic depression and without your consent, Washington, DC continues to give away your tax money to Third World countries.
And US soldiers continue to die in the occupation of multiple dirt-poor Third World countries on the other side of the planet that never invaded us or posed
any danger to anyone here.

In fact, Dodik stated, the Republic of Srpska (RS)is insisting on consistent implementation of the Dayton Accords. The Dayton
peace deal ended the war in Bosnia in 1995 and organized the country into two entities, RS and the Muslim-Croat Federation. "We
do not have secession on our agenda, but implementation of the Dayton Accords," Dodik told reporters in Banja Luka today,

Poll: Lowering deficit more important than boosting economy
'Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNBC survey released Friday morning say President Barack
Obama and Congress should worrry more about keeping the budget deficit down even if that means delaying the economic recovery.
That's 23 points higher than the 33 percent who feel boosting the economy should be the top priority, even if that means larger
deficits now and in the future.'
'Cecil Bothwell was sworn in yesterday as a new member of the Asheville City Council, which was more
of an accomplishment than you might think. Some people want him banned from council already. Bothwell, a longtime alternative
journalist in Asheville, was elected last month, but his swearing in was opposed by critics who claim he can’t hold
public office because he’s an atheist.... An even odder sidelight to the controversy comes in the form of H. K. Edgerton,
Bothwell’s most vocal critic. Edgerton is the former head of the Asheville chapter of the NAACP, but more recently has
taken to “promoting Southern heritage” by standing on Asheville streets dressed in a Confederate soldier’s
uniform, and flapping a Confederate flag.'
'Congressman Ron Paul (R Texas) is the last true statesman. Want proof, the Congressman and 2008 Presidential
candidate fought more than twenty years to finally create an amendment to fully audit the Federal Reserve, which is the main
cause of the present financial crisis. The Audit the Fed bill was accepted as an amendment to a larger bill, the Wall Street
Regulatory Overhaul. Even though the congressman’s bill was attached he could not in good faith vote for the larger
legislation. Imagine a country full of men like that. Imagine just having 100 representatives like that.'
'Life, faculties, production—in other words, individuality, liberty, property—this is man.
And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are

life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.'
'Today, President Barack Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in a ceremony in which his speech was

"Serbia’s statements also confirmed that in international law, there is no rule under which the Kosovo independence

Rebuilding Begins at Jefferson Davis Museum in Biloxi
'Ground has been broken on the $10.5 million project to rebuild the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library
and Museum at Beauvoir, the Biloxi, Miss., beachfront home of the only president of the Confederate States of America. The
restored home, damaged in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina, reopened earlier this year. Reconstruction of the destroyed library and
museum will be completed by August 2011.'
'Because they’re green on the outside and red on the
inside, of course. This is not just a clever joke; it’s true with regard to the professional “environmentalists,”
if not most of the rank and file. All of their frauds and ruses, from acid rain to cellphone cancer scares,
to global cooling, global warming, the “ozone hole,” “climate change,” etc., have one common denominator: they
are used to make a case for a massive redistribution of worldwide wealth and central planning of the entire world’s
economy. Communism, in other words.'
'We have seen the immorality of taking money from one individual by force and giving it to another individual. President
Obama rightly defines this a “redistribution of wealth” which he considers just and I consider immoral and unjust. This
occurs not only on an individual level but on a state level. Money is taken from individuals in one state and used to pay
for projects in another. Why should the people of one state pay for a bridge, museum, water park or any other project
in another?'
'The left today that supports world government to stop climate change bears little resemblance to the
left of 100 years ago, which favored civil liberties and social liberality and was willing to do anything to end war. Now
it has diverted its energies to a preposterously unworkable scheme based on pseudo-science. This is a terrible tragedy.'
In honour of this politician's enthusiastic support for expanding the immoral occupation of Afghanistan, we dub Mitt Romney
our 'Warmonger of the Week'. Not only does he support Obama's troop surge, he is opposed to setting even a very loose
date for ending the occupation of that unfortunate country.
'A potential contender for the 2012 Republican
presidential nod praised President Obama’s decision to surge 30,000 additional troops into Afghanistan and, at the same
time, questioned the wisdom of Obama’s decision to announce a date to begin to draw down the additional troops. “I
think he’s made the right decision with regards to Afghanistan in a general direction,” former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union.'
Poll: Support for foreign interventionism dropping
Though this author of this news story tries to put a negative spin on the poll results (calling it
'turning away from the world'), it reveals good news about thinking of people in the Empire.
'Almost half,
49 percent, told the polling organization that the United States should "mind its own business" internationally
and let other countries get along the best they can on their own, the Pew Research Center survey found. That's up from 30
percent who said that in December 2002.'
'Bertram Hayes-Davis says the $10.5 million project to rebuild the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library
and Museum is another opportunity to show his great, great grandfather's legacy shouldn't be limited to a fight to preserve
slavery. "In the American people's minds, that specific association is the only factor they know about Jefferson Davis.
I'm working to educate the American public on all of the great accomplishments of this American patriot," Hayes-Davis
said in an interview.'
Federal judge clears way for Confederate plate in Florida

Federal Reserve tries theater ads to burnish its image
The Feds are running scared. It's surely time to stick it to them!
'The Federal Reserve isn't
too popular these days, what with its failure to predict or prevent the financial crisis and recession, not to mention its
involvement in last year's bailouts. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has a bestselling book out called "End the Fed," and
some lawmakers are looking to cut back the central bank's power. It sounds like a perfect time for an ad campaign [paid
for with tax-payer money].'
Yemeni forces clamp down on southern secessionists
Secessionists and decentralists world-wide continue to be violently oppressed by governing central regimes...
'Yemeni
security forces spread out across the southern port city of Aden on Monday, clamping down on any display of secessionist sentiment
on the anniversary of the south's independence from Britain. Residents said hundreds of soldiers lined the streets of Aden,
where southern activists had been planning a festival to commemorate the day the last British soldier departed in 1967. In
the run-up to the anniversary several clashes erupted between the Sanaa government and southerners, who have long complained
that northerners abused a 1990 unity agreement to exploit their resources and discriminate against them.... Southern leaders
have talked of northern "occupation" and called for secession amid mounting discontent over jobs and other economic
grievances.'
