They Want To Steal Our History

 by Al Benson Jr.

The Deep State and the radical left, globalists all, are trying to steal our history. They do not want us to know our history or understand where we came from and why. They realize, more than we do, that those that have no grasp of their history, culture, and heritage have no real future. They seek to control our history so they can control our future. If they control our future then they control  our destiny and then, like all idolaters, they can shape us in their own leftist image.

One way they do this is with false history, like this horrible 1619 Project that is currently used in many public schools now. Donald Trump became aware of this program and sought to deny funding to public schools that used it. I don't know how he made out with that and the recent election that was stolen from him will deny him and opportunity to pursue it further.

Interestingly enough, a writer of Western fiction seems to have had more of a grasp of the importance of real history than most people in our day do. I am referring to the late Elmer Kelton. He wrote mostly about West Texas. He grew up on a ranch in West Texas where his father was a ranch foreman so Kelton knew the history of his area. He was well acquainted with the kind of people and places he wrote about. He was part of it and it was part of him, which is as it should be.

His comments about history were insightful. In his autobiography Sandhills Boy he wrote: "South of the ranch headquarters, in the middle of an open pasture, was  the grave of a cowboy killed by horse thieves many years before. Riding by that solemn place, I was reminded of the old song, 'Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie.'  It certainly was lone and lonely.  That grave, and the stories the cowboys told, awakened a wonder that stayed with me. They made history come alive. They provided a living connection between past and present, a realization that events of a hundred years ago and more still affect our daily lives, our beliefs and attitudes.  They are part of who and what we are. The more we know about them, the better we know ourselves."

Whether we realize it or not, our history affects us because we are all a part of it. I remember, years ago now being told about a man in the South who said "the past is not dead. It is not even past." There is a certain sense in which he was right. The only time history is boring is when it is taught in school and is limited to dates and personalities whose history we do not know. General so and so fought a battle at such and such a place in 1864--period! That is boring history. To make history come alive we need to ask why he fought the battle and what did he believe. 

More and more as I have studied history, I have found that Elmer Kelton's view of it is accurate. Our history is part of all of us. I had a Confederate ancestor from North Carolina who was a captain in a North Carolina infantry regiment. Why did he fight? Did he go to war just so he could keep his slaves? I never read about him having any. Or did he go to war because his state was invaded? He lost part of one leg at Spotsylvania. Did he go through that particular hell so he could preserve slavery? I rather doubt that. The majority of the men that fought for the Confederacy did not own slaves and who in his right mind would be willing to endure four years of battle and death so his neighbor up the road apiece could keep his twenty slaves?  Yet this is the false narrative we are asked to believe because leftist "historians" so called continue to throw it in our faces and teach it to our children. It's balderdash, which is a nice way of saying it's bovine fertilizer, not history.

And this false narrative has shaped generations of our kids, both North and South. This fake history is used as an excuse to tear down our monuments and desecrate our flags and the Marxists among us love to have it so. As long as they can foist this claptrap on us we do not learn our real history or why our ancestors really fought. When we are taught accurate history that is reflected in how we think today. When we are lied to about our history and truth is denigrated, that affects us also, and not in a positive way.

So those closet leftists that crawl around among us teach us false history and that affects how we view our ancestors and our past and the culture they bequeathed to us. If the leftists can teach us skewed history then that affects how we view our past then they get to decide for us what our future will be because we will not understand our past.

History is not some dead thing that has no effect on us in our lives. History affects how we think and how we view life and what we will teach our kids about their past. If we let the Marxist element control our future via false history then neither we or our kids have any real future. Our future is really their future--a Marxist future.

Years ago when I was in a shop getting some printing done I inadvertently ended up in a conversation with a man that said to me "Communism liberates people." My reply to his foolishness was "May my children never live under the 'liberty' you promote." Now, with a Harris/Biden duo waiting in the political wings my children may yet end up living under some sort of communist "liberty"--something I have fought against most of my life. I sought to teach my kids accurate history. I guess we will have to wait and see who tries to teach their children history.

Preface For A Southern Blockbuster

 by Al Benson Jr.

Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America

I received a Christmas present yesterday that I deeply appreciate. It was a copy of Ron and Donnie Kennedy's third and updated edition of their blockbuster book The South Was Right!  It had previously been published in 1991 and in 1994. The 1994 edition sold well over 100,000 copies. This new 2020 edition will hopefully do as well. It has been updated so that it reflects exactly where we are, both in the Southern Heritage Movement and in the country at large.

My comments today will deal only with the preface to the new 2020 edition. A full book review will come later as I get into the real meat of the book. But as I sat on Christmas morning and read the preface I felt that it, by itself, deserved some comments as it shows how our leftist adversaries have changed their tactics against us since 1994 and many of us, myself sometimes included, have opposed them still using the same tactics we used over twenty five years ago. Is it any wonder we are losing?

I will quote the Kennedy Brothers here because what they have to say is so relevant. They observe: "Since the 1994 publication of the second edition of The South Was Right an evil, neo-Marxist shadow government has taken control of the United States. The evil, shadow government consists of leftist ideologues in the media, academia, political establishment, and their donor-class supporters both in the North and the South. With the fall of the old Communist world, Marxism changed its form but not its objectives. Neo-Marxists, composed of liberals, progressives, socialists, and other social justice warriors, replaced the older form of Marxism. Today, 2020, they dominate diverse  organizations such as the mainline media, digital media, Black  Lives Matter, ANTIFA, and other left-of-center organizations." So Marxism has taken on a whole new complexion at this point in time. The question for us is--have we kept pace with them? I'm afraid, at this point, that's doubtful.

The Kennedys continue: "Everything associated with the traditional, conservative, Bible-Belt South has been demonized by the evil, leftist shadow government that now controls America's social and political thinking. Evidence of the effectiveness of this evil, neo-Marxist shadow government can be seen in a 2020 opinion poll. The poll documented that most (77%) conservatives are afraid to openly express their political opinions.  The America where freedom of speech and freedom of expression is a Constitutionally protected right no longer exists!  This evil, leftist shadow government serves as the propaganda center that supports the Yankee Empire's genocidal policy toward its captive nation--the Confederate States of America. The old North/South bargain or detente where the South agreed to remain passive and patriotic and not attempt to secede again in exchange for nominal control of our local, puppet governments--that agreement has been broken.  We did not break the agreement,  they broke it!  This third edition explains how it happened, but more importantly it explains what the people of the occupied South can do about it."

They tell us: "National Republican politicians cower before the demands of this evil, neo-Marxist shadow government, while national Democrats provide political cover for the left-of-center shadow government's riotous storm troopers. America's once 'free press' is now controlled by postmodern, neo-Marxists who maintain monopolistic control of public information. The mainline and digital media serve as the evil shadow government's ministry of propaganda. These people are ideologically driven, they detest traditional Western Christian civilizations definition of truth, civility, and due process under the law...The cultural genocide directed against all things Southern that we warned was coming in 1994 has now arrived. Today Southerners are the only minority who are forced to allow our enemies to define our culture....We are in the same position as people of all other captive nations. The people of the South, Dixie, or the Bible-Belt are in a struggle for our very survival as a unique people The following questions remain--'Do Southerners still posses the courage to take their stand in Dixie? Do Southerners have the backbone necessary to establish their own provisional government in each state to bring pressure on 'our' wobbly  weak-kneed politicians?" 

There will be more about provisional and shadow governments in the book and for those who might not have a copy of it you can try to get a copy of Ron Kennedy's book Dixie Rising--Rules for Rebels. Ron deals with shadow governments in the South in that book also. It is time we updated our response to those Marxist types that seek to destroy us as a distinct people and who seek to destroy this country as a whole. 

The leftists label us a "reactionaries" because we mostly react to what they try to do to us. It's time we started being proactive rather than reactive and this new edition of The South Was Right! should help us to begin to do that. More on this as I get into the book.

A "Bully Pulpit" For Louisiana--And by extention for the rest of the South

 A "Bully Pulpit" For Louisiana--And by extension for the rest of the South

by Al Benson Jr.

Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America

Recently someone handed me a pamphlet which I found interesting and which I will quote from extensively in this article. It took information out of the book by Ron Kennedy  Dixie Rising--Rules for Rebels that may be helpful to those struggling to preserve our culture, heritage and history here in the South where it is under unrelenting attack by the Marxists that seek our cultural destruction. 

The pamphlet observed that "...the Bully Pulpit is a state-wide elected office in which the incumbent uses the prestige of the office  to advance the cause of Southern and American Constitutional liberty. The office holder becomes the spokesman  for the Cause not only in his state but across the South and the nation. He is central in organizing pro-liberty folks in every Southern state. By virtue of hs office, he generates public knowledge and enthusiasm for our Cause.."

When you look at the way leftist Democrats and Republicans and other assorted Marxists have trashed our history and culture in recent years you realize that something of this sort is sorely needed. Someone with official political standing needs to be there to speak up for Southern Heritage folks who have no political power or voice of their own.

The pamphlet notes: "Only power can counter power. They (the Marxists) have power, we do not. One person in a Bully Pulpit could arouse the general public to forceful political action. Southerners will follow a strong leader who uses his Bully Pulpit to organize a mass movement; a leader who has developed a strategic plan to defeat the neo-Marxist mobs  and replace the current illegitimate, supreme federal government  with a Constitutional Republic of Sovereign States secured by real States' Rights inclusive of the rights of state nullification and secession."

The person in the Bully Pulpit has to be one of us ordinary folks, and not a career politician looking to feather his future political nest and therefore willing to sell out to the highest bidder. He needs to be someone who is willing to spend a good part of his time defending the Cause rather than the political eggs in his basket.

The pamphlet states that this person "...must understand the necessity of using irregular political warfare to unseat the political status quo--a system that is designed to favor the ruling elites, while holding 'we the people' in check and under their control." This becomes especially important at a time when we risk having our national election stolen from us via massive fraud.

Dixie Rising Rules for Rebels states the following: "Consider the impact on recruiting of new supporters and members that the Bully Pulpit would have. Assume that we elect one of our own as Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana. In Louisiana, the Lt. Governor has almost no real duties and would therefore have plenty of time to travel across the South and otherwise promote our Cause. For example; if a Southern scholar or author were to be invited to speak to a gathering in Columbia, South Carolina, it would cause very little public notice. But if the Lt. Governor of Louisiana comes to town that would make a noticeable public impact. More people would attend the meeting; more people would be encouraged to support the Cause and the news media would report on the event." They might try to report negatively on it but they would have to cover it, much as they might hate to do so.

The pamphlet continues: "More detained information about the Bully Pulpit, irregular political warfare, Provisional Government, South-wide ballot initiatives, and our Sovereign State Amendment to the US Constitution can be found in the second edition (2020) Dixie Rising--Rules for Rebels   Shotwell Publishing, Columbia, South Carolina. Our aim is not just to win an election--our aim is to win our Freedom."

Liberty Flags of our Fathers--The Bonnie Blue Flag

 by Al Benson Jr.

Most Southern patriots are familiar with the Bonne Blue Flag and the song that goes along with it. For a long time I had a Bonnie Blue Flag flying at my house.

The history of that flag goes all the way back to the early 1800s all the way back to when Spain and France had a disagreement as to whether West Florida was included in the area each country claimed. When Thomas Jefferson made the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 he sort of inherited the debate. The inhabitants of West Florida were mostly people that spoke English and they were not real happy with either France or Spain, neither of which could deal with them in English.

A revolt took place in West Florida in 1803, led by the three Kemper Brothers. And while it was not successful, it told the Spanish they had better start taking the English-speaking folks in West Florida a bit more seriously. So Spain started dribbling out a few more liberties to them. A second revolt ensued in 1810, led by a Major Isaac Johnson He led a march to the capital in Baton Rouge, which was captured in late September of that year. A new flag was then raised over the fort there, which consisted of a single white star on a field of dark  blue. Shortly afterward a Declaration of Independence was passed and the Republic of West Florida came into being. The same flag was then adopted as their national flag.

The Republic was rather short-lived. In late October U. S. President James Madison proclaimed that West Florida was, in reality, part of the Louisiana Territory. The U. S. flag was then raised over the fort, but, by this juncture, the  image of the Bonnie Blue Flag had burned itself into the memories of  the Southern folks in that area as a symbol of liberty.

When the Republic of Texas came into being a similar flag was adopted, with Texas still being known as the Lone Star State. And in January of 1861, when Mississippi seceded from the Union and established the Republic of Mississippi, another blue flag with a single star was raised in Jackson.

In the audience at that event in Jackson was an Irish actor named Harry McCarthy. He was inspired to compose lyrics pertaining to the flag and he set them to a tune from where he was born. He called his turn The Bonnie Blue Flag. 

Some say this became the first flag of The Confederate States, but there is some debate over that. Whether it was accurate or not, the Bonnie Blue became, at least, an unofficial Confederate flag and still is today. The lyrics of McCarthy's tune are still enough, even today, to stir the hearts of Southern patriots. If you want to see or hear the words of the song just go on the net and type in Lyrics for the Bonnie Blue Flag into a search engine. You will probably find several different videos or sets of lyrics for the tune.

Mass Murders Be Hanged--Gun Confiscation Is the Name of the Game

by Al Benson Jr.

Who would have thought that during the administration of Donald Trump we would have had to worry about gun control and/or gun confiscation? Just goes to show you that, in the political realm nothing happens by accident and you can trust almost no one.

You might say, in our present circumstances "The shootings will continue until the attitude toward gun control improves."  Many naïve people think that, once all the guns are confiscated from honest people then all the shootings will cease. I've got news for you "useful idiots" who think that. It won't happen that way. Once the criminal element figures out that no one our there can fight back their criminal excursions will markedly increase because they will know that no one will have the means to resist what they do.

And don't kid yourselves for even a little minute. The people in Washington WANT YOUR GUNS, all of your guns and they don't give a hoot about what the criminals can do to you. Their agenda is to disarm honest people. That's all they're concerned about.  They have been told to get  the guns, any way they have to and they don't look beyond that. Most of them live in gated communities or have  armed guards, so they couldn't care less what happens to you or your families. Their families will be secure--the hell with yours!

Trump now claims he is in favor of background checks for guns. Doesn't he realize that background checks are but the precursor to confiscation? He should have figured that out by now. And he wants Red Flag laws about guns, which means that some bureaucrat in Washington will get to decide who is a potential threat and the feds will just move in and take his guns, even though he has committed no crime. In other words, he's guilty until proven innocent!

Trump has got to realize that if he continues to go along with this insanity then he stands a good chance of alienating his base of voters. This is NOT what they elected him for. They elected him to prevent this sort of thing and now he is going along with it.

Everyone out there needs to contact their senators and tell them to vote against any new gun control measures, and let them  know that if they support any new gun control measures then you will work to expose and defeat them in 2020.

We didn't elect Trump so he could cave in to the gun grabbers. Hillary would have done that. I expected better than that from Trump. Maybe I was naïve. Maybe my confidence was misplaced?

The Reparations Game Resurfaces

by Al Benson Jr.

Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America

Most of us have read about the reparations scam over the years. It seems as though it resurfaces every three or four years and some socialist or group of socialists pushes it for awhile, but can't quite get enough traction for it and so it goes the way of the Dodo Bird for awhile and resides in political limbo until the next bunch of socialists comes along and tries again.

Let's be honest here, folks. This is one issue that will never completely go away, as the possibilities for redistributing the wealth with something like this are so strong that the socialists and other Marxists among us just can't bear to turn loose of it.

I noticed an article on LewRockwell.com for February 26th by Pat Buchanan about this. Pat observed: "Having embraced 'Medicare-for-all' free college tuition and a Green New Deal  that would mandate an early end of all oil, gas and coal-fired power plants, the Democratic Party's lurch to the left rolls on. Presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren both called last week for race-based reparations for slavery.

Should you wonder what "race-based" reparations for slavery means, it means that only white folks will get taken to the cleaners for this scam and no one else has to worry. This makes it a patently dishonest scheme right from the git-go as anyone with a brain should be able to figure out.

The slavery situation in this country has always been a complex issue. It was never a situation where all white folks held all black folks in perpetual bondage, regardless of what your "history" professors (what a laugh) have told you.

You had a situation in this country with slavery, which existed in all the original 13 colonies, both north and south and in states in both areas after the War for Independence was over. Slavery in the North didn't disappear until the early decades of the 19th century--1810-1840 and even later in some Northern states.

Then you had a problem with who owned the slaves, and all the slaveowners were not white folks.  Some were, but there were also blacks that owned slaves, and American Indians that owned slaves.

So the question arises, at least to me, and I hope to a  bunch of other folks too, as to just how these "race-based" reparations are supposed to be paid. Are descendants of  black slave owners going to be forced to pay reparations to the descendants of black slaves they owned? Will descendants of American Indian slave owners be forced to do the same? Or, as I suggested earlier, will this con game be only for fleecing white folks?

And what about all the  white folks that never owned any slaves? Do their descendants get to pay too? I'd be willing to bet they do.

I mentioned that Kamala Harris was one of those pushing this foolishness. I ran across a short article on https://ussanews.com that stated: "Presidential Candidate, Senator Kamala Harris claimed she supports Reparations for African-Americans but forgot to mention that her ancestors owned slaves...The thing is, Kamala's ancestors used to own slaves--according to her own father...According to Kamala Harris' father, the Democratic presidential hopeful's great-grandmom was a Jamaican slave plantation owner who founded the city of Brown's Town."

That raises some interesting questions. Would Harris, who is a least partly black, be entitled to reparations, or would she have to pay reparations, seeing that her ancestors owned a slave plantation? Of course that was in Jamaica, so it might not apply here, but there might be people here that would find themselves in that boat. So who would end up paying who?

I'd like to see someone address the issue of whether black descendants of black slave owners would have to pay reparations. And how do we go about determining which blacks were here since slave days as opposed to some that have come here from other places since slavery ended. What about all the blacks up in Minnesota from Somalia that have come here in the last three decades from Africa? Are you going to tell me they are entitled to reparations too, even though their ancestors were never slaves here? I surely hope not because if you do, you will not be enamored of my response.

I can't get over the sneaky feeling that this scam is directed at white folks to con them into feeling guilty enough over slavery that they'd be willing to fork over something to expiate their supposed guilt. Let me be blunt here. Since no one alive today has ever lived under slavery in this country and since there have not been any slave owners in this country since the passage of the second 13th Amendment, then no one owes anyone else a thin dime for "slavery reparations." It's that simple, and I honestly believe that all these Demoncrat political fakers who push this drivel fully realize that fact. I think they are trying to build themselves giant voting blocs for the upcoming 2020 elections.

They want to appear sympathetic to the great toiling masses in this country that are not white so they can howl about how they are trying to help out minority voters. It's all a croc, or as they say in West Texas, a pile of cow chips! They don't care about minorities anymore than they care about us deplorable white folks. What they care about are money and power and they are willing to prostitute themselves to those ends.

To say they are pathetic would be to pay them a complement.

How About Repudiating Obama's National Emergency Decrees?

by Al Benson Jr.

Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America

I watched President Trump's national address about the situation on our Southern border this evening (January 8, 2019) and I must admit I was somewhat disappointed. Obama had this country under national emergency from 2012-2016 and unless Mr. Trump declares a new national emergency over our border situation that will super-cede and therefore replace Obama's national emergency decrees then we will continue to be under a national emergency decree handed to us by Comrade Obama.

I had hoped Mr. Trump would do this in this evening's speech but he did not. He is going to give Congress yet one more golden opportunity to vote money for his border wall. I think he's kidding himself. This current socialist-dominated House of Representatives has already told him to go fish as far as funding his border wall and yet here he comes, back to them with the same identical request and he hopes that, somehow, this time their reaction will be different.

You've all seen the comment about the man who keeps doing the same failed thing over and over and over and yet each time he redoes it he thinks the result will be somehow different than it was the last time--and it never is--and he can't quite figure out why. I don't know if that's where Mr. Trump is or not, but you have to wonder.

I tried to update this once and it wouldn't take it so lets try again. Check out www.infowars.com for 1/9 and see the article about Trump no longer effectively being the President because  the Deep State flunkies in Washington are countermanding all the directives he puts out there. Soft coup???

Update:  Check out www.infowars.com for 1/9,  specifically the article on Trump no longer being effectively the President because the Deep State flunkies in the Swamp are countermanding every order he puts out there.        #Alex Jones

It has taken him two years to get some of the Deep State operatives out of his administration and he has by no means gotten rid of all of them. They infest his administration and they pass up no chance whatever to countermand his agenda on important issues. He decides to pull troops out of Syria and Afghanistan and bring them home and almost the very next day someone in the Pentagon decides he can't do that and so they walk back his directives.  We can only wait and see what he does with that situation. I hope he doesn't just ignore it and hope it goes away--because it won't.

If too much of this sort of thing continues then the electorate that voted for Trump will begin to wonder just what is going on and why and that will make it more difficult for him in 2020. If Mr. Trump thinks he is going to placate his adversaries by "being nice" then he is dreaming. That will never happen. When he defeated Saint Hillary in 2016 he erased all possibilities of that for ever. If he got down on his knees before them and groveled they would still spit in his  eye. Those people don't know how to forgive and the word "charity" was never in their vocabulary. They have one agenda--to turn this country into a third world socialist paradise and if they have to shaft the American people to do that, why that's just great by them. Seeing that so many of us failed to vote for "Madame President" it's only what we deserve, right? Of course if we had voted for her we'd have gotten the same thing!

Obama worked mightily at that but couldn't quite bring it off and so he was forced to pass the baton along to Madame President, except she wasn't quite up to the task of catching it so Trump got it instead. He has done some good things, but I get the feeling that when it comes to indicting Hillary and Company for the whole Uranium One scam he just doesn't have the heart for it. In fact, I get the impression that Hillary and Company are going to end up walking and never have to pay for their crimes in this life. Her  payment for her political "indiscretions" will come in the next life, after she departs from this life and her final Judge will be one she cannot bribe or scare--and then she will pay the full price.

In the meantime I am not sure what Mr. Trump will do about his border wall and our national security, but whatever it is, it would appear he is not quite ready to do it yet.

If You Think Problems With Government Schools Are New You Better Think Again

by Al Benson Jr.

Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America


Many seem to think that problems with the content of what passes for education in public schools is, somehow, a recent development, maybe a problem for the last twenty years or so, but certainly no longer. If you are one of those folks you need to rethink your position and gain a little perspective in this area. Public schools have been a major problem for longer than any of you have been alive. That statement may shock some, but the evidence is out there if you are willing to pursue it.

I have been collecting info about what goes on in public schools for close to five decades now. What has gone on in public schools for the past 50 years is, believe it or not, not the real problem--but it is a very dramatic symptom of the real problem. The real problem goes all the way back to the early 1800s. More on that in the future as the Lord allows.

For this article I want to deal with some of the symptoms so you can begin to see what the real problem (anti-Christian "education") produces, and how it works itself out through the symptoms.

I have an article in my files from the Providence (Sunday) Journal from Providence, Rhode Island for Sunday, 3/19/72, the headline for which is: Cranston's Controversial 'Prostitute Case'. It was written by a M. William Salganik. I know nothing about him.

Mr. Salganik wrote, in part, "The uproar in Cranston, (Rhode Island) over a prostitute who spoke to a high school social studies class is the latest in a series of schoolroom crises. Those who were horrified by the appearance of a prostitute in a public school classroom say it is the latest instance of teachers overstepping the bounds of good taste or good judgment." Some, however, defended having the prostitute there and accused those opposed to it of an "attempt to suppress creative teachers and trample on academic freedom." How often have you all heard that line over the years? To those who spout it "academic freedom" means their unfettered ability to shove whatever propaganda they deem relevant down your kids' throats and you will have nothing to say about it--so just shut up and sit down. After all, the job of brainwashing your kids belongs to the state doesn't it?

Reading Salganik's article, you are confronted with the unpleasant truth that "change agents" were using public schools in Rhode Island as a seedbed for revolution. Salganik noted several other schools in Rhode Island that had problems of this nature--one is Scituate, Rhode Island  where students were fed a "black history" course larded with four-letter words and one in Warwick, Rhode Island where students had an "art project" in which students painted "peace symbols." Folks who don't know better, even today, think the "peace symbol" is really all about peace. It isn't! It has a very interesting history--and an anti-Christian one!

There was quite a fuss over some of this in Rhode Island, particularly the prostitute in the social studies class. I recall having had social studies in school. By the time I came along social studies had replaced American history in most schools, at least in the North, and it was a poor substitute for history. But, then, if the kids aren't taught real history they can't speak up in its behalf or ask penetrating questions about it now, can they?

And while I can appreciate the folks who felt teachers were stepping over the bounds of good judgment, they really didn't understand the problem. The problem really wasn't teachers with bad judgment--the problem was--and still is--an "education" system that seeks to indoctrinate your kids in a world view totally alien to what you want them to embrace. It has nothing whatever to do with real education or true academic freedom and everything to do with socialist indoctrination.  The object is to desensitize your kids along the lines advocated by those in the Frankfurt School have laid out for them. If, by now, you don't know what the Frankfurt School is, look it up on the internet and do a little homework. If you are a Christian parent you won't like what you find.

Bear in mind that what I am noting here in Rhode Island took place a short two years before the Textbook Protest in Kanawha County, West Virginia, so there was a big push for this stuff in public schools in this country in the 1970s. In West Virginia the parents revolted over this kind of trash passing for education. In Rhode Island they just complained and didn't revolt. Mores the pity!

Even with my brief comments you should be able to see how bad some of this stuff was. You also should be able to see that, with all that has gone on for so long, chatter about "reforming" the public schools is just that--idle chatter! Real reformation for public schools will never happen and you need to realize that somber fact. The public schools are doing what they were really intended to do--indoctrinate your kids with an anti-Christian worldview. When you begin to realize that, you will begin to see that it is a waste of time and effort trying to reform them. What you really need to do is to separate from them and find Christian alternatives. There are some out there, Exodus Mandate being one of the most notable.

Scumbags of the World Unite!

by Al Benson Jr.

I suppose, in sort of a left-handed way, all of us white folks are supposed to be thankful to Michael Moore, Hitlery Clinton, Obama and all the rest of the Leftist coterie that is part and parcel of the Deep State for them telling us what scumbags all white folks are. I mean, after all, where else would we have ever found out how deplorable all white folks are if those on the Far, Far Left hadn't been so concerned with our "welfare" that they just had to let us know how horrible we all really are?

Of course I find it interesting that some of these folks that have taken great paints to inform us of how terrible we are also happen to be white. Does that make them as horrendous as the rest of us? Logical thought would dictate that it should, just because of their skin color you would think. But, no, somehow, as white as they are, they plead that they are not as bad as all the rest  of us. We are bad, but, somehow, in their omniscience, they have managed to rise above all that. After all, how would they know how terrible we all really are if they had not reached that elevated status that reveals to them how bad we are and how good they are?

You see, if you really delve into it all, it tends to get complicated. It seems that "white" is really sort of virtuous if it is on the Left politically. It only becomes horrible if you happen to be on the Right politically. Got that? In other words "white is really right, if it's on the Left. It's only when it's Right that it's wrong!

To those on the Left it all makes perfect sense, but to normal people, it reeks of bovine fertilizer--you're just not supposed to notice the smell. Just pretend it ain't there and it will go away, so they tell us.

You see you have these folks over on the political Left that are cultural Marxists. A cultural Marxist is someone who doesn't want you to know he or she is a Marxist, so instead they refer to themselves as being politically correct, or "progressive." They use the latter term because they think it actually fools people into thinking they are way ahead of the curve. The English have a term for one who is crazy. They say he's "right round the bend." I wonder if that's what the progressives mean by being ahead of the curve.  Does that mean they have reached the state of insanity quicker than the rest of us? Based on some of what they've tried to pull lately it could well mean that, as some Leftist actions of late do seem a bit unhinged--but then, I have to remember that I am only a lowly white scumbag and so may be totally incapable of discerning the convoluted progressions of the high and mighty Leftists among us. They may have attained a plane of existence that I am unable to contemplate.

Years ago Johnny Cash did a song that said "The one on the left is in the middle and the one on the right is on the left" or something to that effect. Confusing I admit, but often something like that may well sum up where the Left really is, or thinks it is, or possibly is--or whatever!

The paragons of virtue on the Left have been noted for decades now for not making sense to rational people--but then rational people are probably all scumbags along with us miserable white folks. I recall, during World War 2 or just before it, the Soviet Communists really hated the German fascists (who were really their political second cousins) and all the Communist literature parroted that fact. Then one day Hitler and Stalin sat down and made a pact to divide Poland up between then and voila, overnight, the Soviets and the Germans commenced a gigantic European socialist lovefest that even threw their staunchest devotees for a loop--especially in this country! What had been reprehensible yesterday became totally acceptable today. Such is Leftist, what shall we say--paranoia?

Don't try to figure out the Leftist lovebirds by any normal means. You will be doomed to failure. You do need to discern what they are all about but, in the long run you can only do that with prayer and Divine Guidance.

Once we white scumbags (and other scumbags not on the Left) have prayed and sought Divine Guidance, then what we must do is to unite together as concerned scumbags and resist the Left and those who continue to finance it. As the man says "Scumbags of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but the chains the Deep State would bind you down with."

Immigration and Culture

by Daniel Benson

Immigration was once a wonderful thing. Nowadays, though, to come to America has become a tool to downgrade our culture and lifestyle and to make us the minority. Immigration was how we all got to America in the first place and I have no issues with legal immigration. It's the illegals that bother me because rules don't mean anything to them. When legal immigrants come here they come for a safer lifestyle and a better chance to work to feed their families, and a better chance to be free. But illegal immigrants today account for more violent crimes than legal ones ever will.

Legal immigration can be done in two ways. They come here looking for a new chance, or the federal government brings them in here to place somewhere. That's not the most ideal situation. Take a good long look at Minnesota, where the government placed 10,000 Muslin (supposed) refugees and then gave them money (ours) to start a life over. Well, they've multiplied, and now they want Sharia law in Minnesota, the very thing they were running from, supposedly. Guessing you didn't see that coming with the forced immigration of these wonderful new "American citizens." Did other states get that many of them? I'm guessing 4-5 other states got clobbered like that, but don't know for sure.

Most of the Mexicans I know are friendly and family-oriented. I have no issues with these people. It's the drug cartel people we could all do without. They are the violent ones who don't care about our laws. They come here and infiltrate our society how often? If we don't uphold our values and traditions they will happily trod all over you and me. They don't believe in our way of life, so  if they trample it, does it matter to them? Not really.

Slowly the American dream is slipping away. Big government has its fingers into so many countries that don't agree with us and our way of thought that they can bring lots of them over here from there and our understanding of America will be gone forever. 

Central American countries send people here constantly. They have what for governments in most of these places? Your first guess doesn't count. So between the Middle East and Central America, how many have come here--legally or otherwise? No wall keeps people out forever. But a wall keeps us in. Immigration laws will have to change or Mexico will slowly move back into our territory and what will a war of attrition like that do to us?

In closing, I'm guessing that a fair number reading this might really have some small inkling as to what's going on. But it's the ones that won't bother reading this that need to. Will you share it with those you know or will you "hide it beneath a bushel?" I'm guessing too many will hide it. If so, then too bad America won't be a free country long enough for your grandkids to taste the freedom you had--and wouldn't defend.

Lest We Forget

by Al Benson Jr.

Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America

It has been forty four years ago this month, if my timeline is correct, that government (public) schools reopened in Kanawha County, West Virginia to a very slim group of students. Most of the students were kept at home by parents who had major (and understandable) problems with the textbooks their kids were supposed to use that year and they were not about to subject their kids to what many of  them felt were pornographic texts.

I've seen copies of what was in some of the books. The parents were right.

This whole situation set off a major struggle over who really controlled what  passes for public education in this country--and just to give you a subtle hint--it ain't the parents. Even with Trump's new education secretary, it still ain't the  parents. A public school system run by the state will never be under the control of the parents, no matter what you may hear at the parent-teacher meetings.

A public school system is a state school system and our parents, especially our Christian parents, need to be able to get a grasp of this salient fact. Most of them don't have a clue.

As for much of went on  in West Virginia during this textbook protest, I would urge you to read a book by Karl Priest called Protester Voices--the 1974 Textbook Tea Party.  I believe it's still on Amazon, but if you can't find it there contact me and I will give you Karl's mailing address.

The textbook protest in Kanawha County changed the lives of myself and my family because, even though we lived in Illinois when it started, we ended up in West Virginia while it continued.

The whole situation never would have come to light had not Alice Moore been on the school board.It was her that exposed what was in the books. The other school board members were willing to just go along to get along with the texts that were "suggested" for the students. Mrs. Moore, when she got a look at what was being proposed to feed the kids intellectually, was not. She was on target--the rest of the school board was "out to lunch" so to speak, willing to go along to get along.

Mrs. Moore exposed what was in the books to Kanawha County parents with the help of several local preachers and rallies were held all over the county to alert people to the intellectual swamp that was the  public school system. So when public schools convened in the Fall of 1974, most kids stayed home. Not only that, parents started picketing the schools and that meant lots of  people, truck drivers included, would not cross the picket lines. West Virginia was a union state and you didn't cross a picket line.

Parents wrote to their state legislators, their national legislators, and whoever they thought would  help them get these horrible books out of their schools. No one was willing to do anything. No one did anything. What the parents didn't realize at the time, and I hope they do now, is that  no one was going to do anything--ever!

The sleaze-books their kids were to be force-fed were mandated in Washington and that was that. When parents publicly protested they were often met by "peace officers" with billy clubs who enjoyed breaking up the protests by hitting little old ladies (and others) over the shoulder with billy clubs and if they could hit hard enough they often broke the shoulder. They got their kicks doing that. Some were heard to say as much.

Word of the protest eventually got out despite the managed media's attempts to contain it locally. That's how we found out about it in Illinois. There was an article in one of the Chicago papers that really bashed the protesters and it was bad enough that I started watching for more articles with names in them and when I  found some I started trying to contact those people to find out what really was going on because, even at that early date, I realized the "news" media mostly lied to us.

We took a trip to West Virginia in June of 1975 and stayed with a fine Christian family there for a week. During that time I interviewed some of the protest leaders and really got an earful. Hard to believe that some of what I heard happens in Amerika, but it did--and does.

The parents in Kanawha County were guilty--of wanting  a  decent, moral education for their kids. Little did they realize at the time they would never, and I mean never, get that in the public school system. And today it's even worse.

The Deep State of that day (not much different than today's) managed to beat the protest (literally) into submission. Several new Christian schools came out of the protest, but if more Christians had gotten involved instead of sitting it out, the effect could have been greater.

So the textbook protest in West Virginia ended, not with a whimper, but with a billy club whacked over old ladies shoulders. I saw some of them, heard what they had to say about it all. The public schools in West Virginia and other  places, are no different today than then except they are busier taking down Confederate flags than they used  to be.

If you are one of those whose hope is in the "reformation" of public schools you are dreaming a dream that will never happen, no matter what kind of administration they have in Washington. The educational establishment is dedicated to the cultural destruction of your children and you'd better get used to that idea because that's how it is. If you want anything better for your kids, take them and secede from the public "education" system and educate them at home or find some kind of Christian school you can trust. For a little added info, try checking out Exodus Mandate on the internet.

Florida--Another False Flag? Probably!

by Al Benson Jr.

Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America

During the reign of Comrade Obama there were several school shootings and others that were labeled by those who follow this kind of thing as "false flags." False Flag events are designed to elicit a certain response from the general public and are usually conducted with some help from some government agency or part of one.

For instance, one of the big agendas during the Obama Regime was the dismantling of the Second Amendment and our God-given right to defend ourselves and our families. This is definitely a no-no, because if some rogue group in the government, or the government itself, plans FEMA extended vacations for those who oppose it they can't have lots of folks out there with firearms, nor can they have a public atmosphere that is favorable to private ownership of firearms.

Therefore, those in government who want our guns have to create an environment amongst the public that will allow them to seize our weapons with little opposition, physical or otherwise from the general public. One way to create such an environment is to have a series of school shootings where children are either harmed or appear to be harmed and such an event is then heralded by the prostitute press and many in Congress as a reason to "regulate" (eventually confiscate) firearms. They will never admit this--that would give away their agenda.

Obama and his Marxist cronies in government (many of whom still remain in the new Trump administration) were especially good at acting out this scenario. If I recall, I can remember one congressman getting on television and weeping huge crocodile tears for "the children" as he worked tirelessly to eradicate our Second Amendment protection. This scenario has been repeated so often that after awhile you get so you recognize all the various parts of it as the Establishment weaves it all together into a package that it can sell the public to promote its gun control agenda.

There is usually (supposedly) only one shooter, and he ends up dead in most cases so we never get to hear anything he might have said about what really went down. In this most recent case in Florida they caught the patsy (supposed perpetrator) alive. I have heard, from some sources, that the Sheriff in Broward County is an honest man so that may be why the alleged shooter was taken alive. I also heard that the Sheriff, not the FBI, is handling this case, as of now. That may well have saved the alleged shooter's life. After noting such incidents as the Ruby Ridge killing of Randy Weaver's wife and the murder of Lavoy Finicum in Oregon a year ago, you can't blame most folks for figuring that the FBI's intended victims don't often get out alive, to testify or to do much else.

The school shootings during the Obama reign just about all followed the same pattern--a bunch of kids killed in gun free zones and the Obama and other Soros flunkies paraded before the public to plead for them to contact their congress critters and beg  them to enact "sensible" (eventual confiscation) gun control laws to prevent this from ever happening again. You've heard it all before. I call it "the shootings will continue until the public has the right attitude" scenario. Obama, the Marxist president who claimed he was not after our guns was one of the biggest anti-Second Amendment people around. He might only have been exceeded by "Madame President" had she managed to steal the election.

Thankfully, organizations like the Gun Owners of America (not the NRA) managed to put enough pressure on Congress that, while Obama was in office, they didn't dare vote to confiscate our guns. But, just think of the coup the political left could claim now if they managed to get a gun control (confiscation) bill enacted while Trump is in office.  Trump has been a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Just think of the hay they could make if they managed to get a gun control bill enacted while Trump is in office and he ended up vetoing it. They could scream to the universe that Trump is a callous monster and that he doesn't care about "the children." You all know where that line of bull would go.

Mitt Romney, who is no doubt positioning himself with the Establishment for a presidential run in 2020, has started whimpering that "we have to do something." You're right, Mitt, we do. So how about we start by doing away with gun free zones and by allowing qualified teachers to start carrying during school hours? That would be a big step in the right direction, don't you think?

But that wouldn't fit the agenda of the gun grabbers because, at root, they don't give a tinker's damn about school safety. What they want is gun confiscation, maybe not all at once, but gradually. They will take the Fabian approach if it gives them what they want eventually. Just remember one thing "Gun Control is People Control" and once you surrender your Second Amendment rights you ain't about to get them back before the Second Coming. A  good reason to write your congress critters and tell them to vote NO for any new gun control bill, no matter how innocent it may sound.

A "Civil War" To Commemorate 100 Years Of Communism?

by Al Benson Jr.

Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America

October of 2017 is now upon us, with a rather fiery beginning in Las Vegas, Nevada, which we will comment on below. This is a very special time for Communists around the world. It is the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution. It is often referred to as Red October. This was the Bolshevik Revolution led by Lenin. Wikipedia says it was "...instrumental in the large Russian Revolution of 1917. It took place with an armed insurrection in Petrograd on the 25th of October (7 November, New Style)  1917." I don't want to go into the whole bloody scenario except to note that the Communists have always been very "date conscious" when it came to big anniversaries such as this. If you all remember, we were treated to the first official celebration of Earth Day on the 100th anniversary of Lenin's birth. This was hardly a coincidence!

So what will we have for the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution? Las Vegas just may be a sneak preview.

How about Antifa giving us a "civil war" in the United States?

If you follow some of this stuff like I do, you have been getting all manner of reports about the Las Vegas shooting this morning. The shooter(s) opened fire on concert goers at a Country Music concert--folks who are probably pretty much traditional Americans, and therefore, automatically enemies to Antifa and the Communists both.

It was originally reported by the mainstream media that the shooter had committed suicide. I've seen other reports that say an FBI rescue team killed him after he opened fire on them. I have also seen sketchy reports of a possible second shooter. I'd be willing to bet that if there was one that will be the last you hear about him. There was one fairly good article on www.independent.co.uk  ISIS has also claimed responsibility for the shooting and it has also been claimed that the shooter "converted to Islam several months ago" and therefore, was "a soldier of the Islamic State." We will just have to keep our eye on this and be discerning enough to separate the wheat from the chaff, because with the mainstream media out there, you are guaranteed to get lots and lots of chaff--along with the calls for more gun control.

Doug Hagmann put out some commentary about a possible civil war in his Northeast Intelligence Network on August 31, 2017. He mentioned his first contact with a DHS "whistleblower"  on May 25th, 2012. It was documented on his site and others as well, including the Canada Free Press. Mr. Hagmann said: "On that occasion, this source stated that 'DHS is actively preparing for massive social unrest inside the United States. He then corrected himself, stating that a civil war is the more appropriate term. Certain elements of the government are not only expecting and preparing for it, they are actually facilitating it. That was several months before the re-election of Barack Hussein Obama, the man of questionable origins, dubious bona fides and an inherent, visceral hatred for everything that made America a once-great nation.Obama had to win re-election to complete his task of destroying our Representative Republic.  He was handily re-elected without much viable opposition, giving him additional time to complete his duties as the front man for his Globalist puppet masters." Do you begin to see now why they could not afford to let Ron Paul win in 2012? He noted that "plans, tactics and timetables change, but the objectives of the Globalists don't."

What threw the Globalist plot out of whack in 2016 was the election of Donald Trump. Hillary was supposed to win--and complete what Obama had started--the proverbial stake through the heart--which means that even the One World Government crowd isn't always able to get it right and so they have to go back and retrench. They have done that with their ongoing attacks on Trump.

But there is a lesson there for us--the Globalists are not God--although they would like to be. Ultimately God calls the shots, not them. That's not to say they will quit in their quest for god-hood. If plan A doesn't work out they just move on to plan B.

Mr. Hagmann has observed: "Obama's 'fundamental transformation' although momentarily interrupted by the victory of Donald Trump,  will be facilitated by an armed resistance aided by holdovers inside government loyal to Obama, Clinton and the Globalist cause." Do you begin to see now why Obama had to come back and live in Washington, two miles from the White House, after his lengthy "vacation?" The Obama holdovers in government plan on hanging around as long as possible and it is beginning to look more and more like Jeff Sessions has no intention or plans for getting rid of them? I wonder why? I won't venture an opinion here, but I've got one.

So, a couple more questions: Will Antifa begin a "civil war" in this country, possibly sometime in October, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution? Have they already begun it in Las Vegas? Why would they do this? How about as a "response" to some kind of false flag attack, supposedly committed by "right-wing groups?" This could well be the rationale they present to the world, as they reach for "victim status" to justify what they are going to do.

This is nothing more than the next installment of the same old "pressure from above and pressure from below" scam that has been used on us so often in the past. Doug Hagmann has thought some of this might start around the middle of October, but in light of Las Vegas you have to wonder if Antifa and the Communists were just too impatient to wait that long. Keep your eyes open--and your powder dry. You are going to see lots more of Red October!

Real Life Slavery Today Not Nearly As Important As Taking Down Confederate Monuments

by Al Benson Jr.

Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America

Many of us have observed, with growing indignation, as the seemingly insane (but actually well-planned and coordinated) campaign to tear down Confederate monuments here in the South proceeds. In fact, it is proceeding so smoothly that you have to recognize none of this is "spontaneous" and it is working like a well-oiled machine--paid for by whose money? Anyone need three guesses? Didn't think so. This has now expanded to where the Hard Left wants to remove all manner of monuments to people, either because they were slave owners or because they were white, or because they treated  "indigenous" peoples badly, or for whatever cockamamie reason they can come up with. I wonder, through this planned insanity, how many statues of Ulysses S. Grant will come down, or maybe there's a monument somewhere to some black person that was a slave owner, and there were blacks that were slave owners you know.

These Hard-core Leftists profess a growing concern for a slavery that ended in this country 150 years ago.  And they want to display their growing concern over this slavery that ended a century and a half ago here by trashing our society, our history, and our culture. Actually what they are really doing is using this now extinct slavery issue as an excuse to practice their favorite form of cultural genocide against white Southerners, because the managed "news" media has let it be known that it's open season on white Southern folks, and you can do whatever you want to them and get by with it. Do this stuff to anyone else and you might wind up with jail time for a "hate" crime, but, hey, these are only white crackers, so you can do what you want to them--and then, if they fight back to defend themselves, they are committing a hate crime.

Those that know me know that I do more than a bit of scrounging around on the internet in search of historical material that the Establishment would just as soon not see spread too far and wide. They feel the less known the better--nothing to see here folks, just move along--while we enact our plans to cut your cultural throats!

Just a few days ago I found an interesting article from the LA Times, by a Robyn Dixon, originally printed back in October of 2013. The title of her article was Slavery Still Haunts Africa, where millions remain captive."  I'm surprised this got printed. Dixon noted that "African countries dominate a new global index on slavery, with 38 of the 50 nations where the scourge is at its worst found on the continent.  The Global Slavery Index, released Thursday, estimated that nearly 30 million people remain enslaved globally, millions of whom are in Africa. Mauritania has the poorest record, with some 150,000 in a population of 3.8 million held captive...Other African countries with particularly high prevalence of slavery are located in West Africa: Benin, Ivory Coast, Gambia and Senegal."

Dixon noted the several different categories that constitute some form of slavery, all the way from debt bondage to forced labor, to the sale or exploitation of children for "profit, sex, or the thrill of domination." An anti-slavery organization called the Walk Free Foundation provided some of this information. Dixon noted that "In Mauritania, as many as 20% of the population is enslaved...Slavery in Mauritania goes back generations and is deeply entrenched..." even though the country has banned it. Obviously there was lots more to Dixon's article, but you get the idea.

So my question is: if the Leftist crowd in this country is so very concerned about the slavery issue, why don't some of their groups get together and see what they can do to alleviate the current situation in Africa, where slavery is a real-life, everyday situation even today? Seems to me that if they were truly concerned they would act to deal with something still going on today and do what they could to alleviate the slavery situation that exists in their own lifetime. Surely they could find some way to help out couldn't they???

Well, if they bothered to check it out they probably could, but you see, the truth is, that in spite of all their pious rhetoric, the Leftists don't really give a tinker's damn about slavery in the world today. That issue is not part of their agenda. Trashing Southern culture and moaning about a slavery in this country that has been non-existent for the last 150 years, and which they can do nothing about, is their real agenda. 

How can I state this nicely?  These Leftist types are not even hypocrites--they are out and out frauds! Cultural Marxist frauds!  They are as phony as the Obama three dollar bill! And anyone that listens to them and is foolish enough to take them seriously is, at best, a "useful idiot" for the Marxists and for those that finance their cultural Marxism.  These "useful idiots" need to wake up and smell the coffee. But then, if they did that, they wouldn't be "useful idiots" anymore, would they?

And--If you have not read in your "history" books about the Marxists and socialists who fought on the side of the Union during the War for Southern Independence you can get some basic information about them that Establishment "historians" would rather that you did not have.

There is a new CD available called Lincoln's Marxists, a 37 minute lecture by Al Benson Jr. that tells you about these Marxists and socialists and their objectives for our country, and why they supported Lincoln and the Northern cause.

Funding Public Education in Chicago

by Al Benson Jr.

 Over the years, as most who read my stuff will testify, I have followed what goes on in the vaunted, so-called "halls of education" in this country, particularly when those halls are located in public school buildings. Some pretty far-out things have happened in this country in the name of public education, but what I am about to comment on here may be the most expensive.

I came across a blog spot called Newsalert http://nalert.blogspot.rs  just yesterday that had an article on it datelined May 25, 2017. The headline asked this question: "Why Does the Chicago Public School System have $9 Billion Dept With Only 381,000 Students?" When I first read it I couldn't believe I hadn't misread it. I thought it should have been $9 million, so I went back and reread it. It was $9 billion. Simply amazing! The article started off: "Chicago public schools will look to borrow $900 million in the coming weeks adding to the district's $9 billion dept--but it remains unclear if anyone will actually give them all the money The loans are $500 million more than Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office announced last week when a financial rescue plan was outlined....District officials told board members Wednesday that the district would likely 'just run out of money' if it didn't take out these loans."

It almost seems unreal. How does a public school district get $9 billion in debt? Where does the money go? Who ends up with it? What does it get used for? I realize you have to spend quite a chunk on teachers' salaries, especially in Chicago, where it seems that some school superintendents earn almost as much a congressmen and you have to have lots of books, paper and pencils, (and probably now, computers) for over 300,000 kids, but, $9 billion dollars worth? 

And who, in the end, will pay for all this? Why the lucky Chicago taxpayers of course. It will be their "privilege" to get stuck with the tab for all this, plus interest. But they should feel lucky to get to do this. After all, its all for "quality education" for the kiddies, right? Anyone who thinks that public schools are not the biggest rat hole you ever poured your money into just hasn't been paying attention for the last 150 years.

Several years ago I published a little booklet called The Unitarian/Socialist Foundations of Public Education in which I showed that anti-Christ Unitarians and anti-Christ socialists provided the basic foundations for what we refer to as "the public schools." They are not public. They are really government schools and they provide (for a hefty price) government-approved propaganda for your kids. Those parents who woke up and saw the light years ago took their kids out of public schools and either put them in private and Christian schools or they home schooled them. Unfortunately, these good folks still have to pay the lion's share of their property taxes (another bad institution) to pay for kids to be propagandized in public schools.

But parents need to start learning to think outside the box. The public schools are not your only option in most cases. The school situation in Chicago is one glaring example of the cost of "public education" in America. The unseen costs are measured in the effects of those schools on the souls of your children and on your culture, and in most cases, those effects only show up later.  

The Obama Coup Against Trump

by Al Benson Jr.

Over the whole of this past weekend and the previous week I have been watching all the seemingly weird developments having to do with Comrade Obama's (as well as his bosses behind him) attempt to remove Donald Trump from the presidency. To say that this is a highly organized and planned coup is to put it mildly. Obama never really wanted to relinquish the presidency. He fondly wished (had his puppet masters allowed it) to continue on as president so he could complete the task of culturally and socially dismantling the country--the fond dream of all cultural Marxists in America. His puppet masters, for reasons of their own, didn't allow that, much to his chagrin. But they did the next best thing.  They set him up so he could conduct a "guerrilla presidency" less than two miles from the White House, with over 30,000 "volunteers" across the country, to carry out whatever mayhem he directed them to.

This is not something that he thought up on his own. It was all planned well ahead of the election in case Hillary was not able to bring that off. When she couldn't, they swung into action and they have continued every day since. Trump will "tear down their meat house" of One World Government and they can't afford to let that happen. In typical cultural Marxist fashion they have to get rid of him--and they will use any method it takes.

So here comes the next stage of the game. The vote recounts didn't do it so we move on to this. Now it comes out that Trump was wiretapped  while the presidential campaign was in progress, which Obama claims is totally false, but Hillary admits it. Honestly now, who can believe anything this man says? When it comes to prevarication, he and Slick Willie fight for first place, no matter what the definition of "is" is.

According to www.eheadlines.com The Gateway Pundit "reported earlier that the first FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) request came right after AG Loretta Lynch met with Bill Clinton on the tarmac at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in June of 2016." And remember, this was a "chance" meeting to discuss photos of their grandchildren! No collusion here. These honest souls wouldn't even think of it! Hillary later tweeted: "Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump organization to a Russian-based bank." Evidence? Who needs evidence? Isn't Hillary's word enough? And the article, written by Kristie McDonald, was headlined: So Hillary Knew About the Trump Wiretap--Tweeted About it One Week Prior to Election.

Ms. McDonald wrote yet another short article about this on March 5th in which she said: "'This is Spying,' Conservative radio host Mark Levin made the case that former President Obama and his operatives have actively worked to spy on and undermine President Donald Trump and his administration. Levin spoke to ';Fox & Friends' on Sunday and used liberal news sources to essentially prove that the Obama administration was behind spying on President Trump and others in his campaign during the election season. Newt Gingrich also weighed in on the accusations. 'Smells to high heavens'." As much as I hate to agree with Newt Gingrich (the penultimate One Worlder) about much of anything, his comments in this one instance were pretty accurate. Makes you wonder what he's up to!

Not only are they trying to bring Trump down, but also all the people in his inner circle, so that there will be no one left to help him in defending himself from whatever cock and bull story the Leftists dream up and the prostitute press promotes. Michael Flynn is already gone and now they are attacking Jeff Sessions. Will Steve Bannon be next?

An article on http://www.wnd.com by Greg Corombos on March 5th observed: "A former U.S. Justice Department official says the liberal outrage over Attorney General Jeff Sessions having contact with the Russian ambassador during the 2016 campaign is much ado about nothing and Democrats are doing whatever they can to thwart the Trump agenda...Former Justice Department official Hans von Spakovsky told WND and Radio America the controversy is way overblown...He said the Democrats are still in shock over losing the election and are lashing out in every possible direction." He said "They did not want Jeff Sessions to become attorney general because he's a conservative, rule-of-law type of guy. They're seizing on this, even though there's nothing really to it when you dig down into it, because they want to oppose anything the attorney general might do, such as actually start enforcing our immigration laws. That's the real goal here." And we all realize that you can't water our culture down even more if you can't get those illegals in here by the thousands. American cultural adulteration is a big part of the game here.American culture has to go. Christianity and Western civilization have to go--and we need to understand this!

Some of Trump's advisors are calling for a purge of those Obama appointees that are infesting the federal government. That sounds like a capital idea and they need to get started immediately, if not sooner, on that project. They could name it Operation Boot Obama Clones. You can't expect the people that Obama appointed will do anything except continue their loyalty to their Marxist-in Chief, while opposing and hindering every effort Trump makes to help the American people.

Realize this--Obama and his minions (as well as those who fund them) don't want things to improve for the American public and so they will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening. They are, after all, cultural Marxists, and they are bent on our destruction as a people and a culture. That's their agenda--and Obama's too.

Those confused folk who would love Obama to get a third term don't get it. Unfortunately, they have mush for brains because they don't realize yet, if they ever will,  that Obama hates their guts every bit as much as he hates the rest of us. He and those who hire him and his "volunteers" are trying to overthrow a legitimately elected government. There used to be jail sentences handed out for that kind of thing. Anymore, who knows??? 

Update:  An article on www.lewrockwell.com   for Monday, March 6th has stated the situation very clearly. It was written by Joachim Hagopian, a West Point graduate and former U.S. Army officer. He said: "The United States federal government in Washington is under attack today. Our nation's capital is presently under siege, not from military bombs or rockets fired by any foreign enemy but from powerful means within. With Obama-Hillary-Soros ostensibly maneuvering outside official government channels, against America's legitimately elected President Trump, and their loyalist foot soldiers--loyalists within the CIA/NSA/FBI still operating inside deep state, criminally conspiring...with Mainstream Media, this sinister alliance is also organizing legions of clueless young Leftist protesters to be at the ready for deployment in the streets to wreak havoc violently rioting as paid insurgents." What Mr. Hagopian is describing here, what is going on at this moment, is civil war and the clueless public probably won't wake up to that until it is all over and the Deep State wins--and then they will howl and moan "why didn't someone tell us?" The Lord gave us one more chance with Trump--and most are sleeping through it. They may well end up being the most rested people in the concentration camps! 
 

Obama May Be the Last President You Ever Have Unless They Give You Hillary

by Al Benson Jr.

If you thought Donald Trump would be the next president you might be in for a surprise. You might just end up with Obama as perpetual ruler and potentate--or they might give us a little change from Obama and decide to install Hillary instead--and if her health is just not up to it, we may get whatever Left-wing comrade they think we deserve, thanks to Homeland Security and the people that really direct its agenda.

An article on http://www.zerohedge.com  by Tyler Durden for January 6th, 2017 states the following: "In a stunning last-minute power grab by the Obama administration with just 14 days left in his Presidency, the Department of Homeland Security released a statement this evening officially declaring state election systems to be "critical infrastructure." The statement from DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson defines 'election infrastructure' as storage facilities, polling places, centralized vote tabulations, voter registration databases, voting machines and all other systems to manage the election process...so pretty much everything."

An article on http://www.infowars.com  for January 6th also noted the same thing. It said: "In a letter to the Associated Press, Johnson revealed the US government would monitor and intervene in future elections, a process previously handled on a state-by-state basis." Johnson continued in his justification for this federal over-reach when he said: "Particularly in these times, this designation is simply the right and obvious thing to do.'  The designation 'allows for information to be withheld from the public when state, local and private partners meet to discuss election infrastructure security--potentially injecting secrecy into an election process that's traditionally and expressly a transparent process, according to the AP."

So the feds have taken over the election process. And if that means they now control it for all future elections what do you think they might have in mind for this recent election? There have  been lots of reports about Russian hacking in this last election and lots of claims from Washington that say that the Russians helped Trump into office. You don't just suppose they might have in mind rescinding the results of this last election due to all this "Russian hacking" do you? In spite of all the twaddle in the mainstream media about how severe this Russian hacking was, we have yet to see any real evidence concerning it. Lots of allegations and "such and such a source said so and so" but no concrete evidence. But, hey, this is the federal government we are talking about here--they don't need evidence--all they need is cleverly framed allegations and they figure that's enough to fool all us deplorables out here in flyover country.

Why are they suddenly deciding to do this right now unless they are planning to change the results of the last election and give us either more unlimited Obama or a golden chance to embrace  Hillary when we were just too stupid to appreciate the tremendous opportunity we had to vote for here the first time around. Or maybe they will do what Obama's Muslim buddies do in their countries--proclaim either Obama or Hillary to assume the role of  First Dictator for Life (oh excuse me, I really meant to say President and that other accurate term just slipped out by mistake).

It's painfully obvious that our Ruling (Deep State) Establishment has tried literally to move heaven and earth to deny Trump the presidency. I mean, have you ever seen an election like this one before, or its aftermath? The Establishment cannot let Trump assume the presidency unless they can manage to thoroughly co-opt his administration and render him as useless as the sixteen characters he defeated in the primaries. They would have settled for any of them with the possible exception of Rand Paul and he doesn't seem to have presented them with much of a problem on this go-round. Trump ain't "one of the good ol' boys" and so they can't have him in there. What does that possibility tell you about our presidents for the last 75 years or so? Think about it while you are wondering what creative plan Obama and Homeland Security are devising to make sure Trump is denied the office he legitimately won.

This is one where we will literally need to depend on Divine Guidance to prevent these evil people from doing what they plan to do. So, folks, we need to get on our knees and pray and ask the Lord to prevent all this because only He can. And then we need to ask Him what He wants us to do about all this.

"Give Me Land, Lotsa Land"

by Al Benson Jr.

When I was a kid around  eight or nine years old, there was a popular song out called "Don't fence me in." The first line of that, or the chorus, I can't recall which, said "Give me land, lotsa land under starry skies above. Don't fence me in." At that point in my life I hadn't traveled all that much and so the idea of the song appealed to me. It still does except that, at my age, I've done most of the traveling I'm likely to do, but I still have the memories and a batch of old photos and I do enjoy both. As a kid I always wanted to go west. When I was 21 years old I finally got to go and once I started I kept going until I couldn't go anymore.

It's a good thing I got to go when I did, in those pre-Obama years when the West was still relatively open, because our soon-to-be-f0rmer Marxist president seems hell bent on shutting down as much Western land as he can so ordinary folks can't get to use it or even see it except from a distance. 

It would seem that he has eagerly embraced the old Marxist concept of  private property being some sort of sin and he'd like to redistribute as much of the property in the West to "the people" (meaning his kind of people and no one else) as he can before he is forced to leave the White House, even though his bosses will force him to remain in Washington as part of their agenda to destabilize a Trump presidency.

Earlier this week I read an article on http://www.mrctv.org written by Brittany M. Hughes and entitled: Obama Seized Enough Land and Water in 8 Years to Cover Texas Three Times. That headline caught my attention. Having been in Texas several times over the years I have come to realize just how big Texas really is and if Obama has taken all that much land in eight years then he has to be one of the greatest land confiscators this country has ever witnessed. 

Hughes' article noted: "Last week, in one of his final moves out of the Oval Office, Obama executively designated more than 1.5 million acres of land as national monuments, preserving their untouched facade while closing them to human expansion, development, energy use, ranching or state or local jurisdiction." And Hughes continued: "In a move ignored by the liberal media...last week, Obama unilaterally  seized more than 1.3 million acres from Utah to establish the Bears Ears Monument,  preserving it at the behest of conservationist groups and Native American tribes who claimed the land was sacred." Utah's state legislature was not overjoyed with this and they opposed it. Some have speculated this is One of Obama's moves to try to limit Trump's efforts to increase domestic energy production, which would not surprise me in the least. But like all good Marxists with an agenda, Obama kills two birds with one stone here. He not only limits a new administration's attempts at new energy production but he also locks up the property to keep ordinary folks off much of it.

He did the same thing in Clark County, Nevada when he took land for the Gold Butte National Monument. This just about shut the whole area down to any uranium mining, and oil drilling, as well as any future natural gas production. Can't have Obama's Muslim buddies in the Middle East losing out on their profits because the United States can take steps to be more energy independent now, can we. The utmost last thing Obama wants is any kind of independence for this country. He has spent two terms in office trying to shut down that kind of thing, whether it's offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico or trying to stop that pipeline that's supposed to cross the country for north to south and provide lots of new jobs in the process. He has to stop that kind of stuff and he works mightily at it. Those that voted this person into office so he could spend eight years trashing our economy while crying alligator tears for the middle class (who he really hates) will at some point, have to answer for their votes--and I'm glad it's them and not me!

Interesting to note is the land he took in Nevada is in Clark County where the big fuss over the Bundy Ranch situation happened. Looks like the feds won't have any opposition in Clark County now--most of it is in jail. Protecting your God-given rights anymore can be costly.

In Nevada the feds already control over 80% of the land, leaving only 20% for private interests and the folks in the state. So what do they need another 300,000 acres on top of all that for? So private citizens can't use it to make a living that might render them somewhat independent that's why. The Ruling Elite wants no independent citizens, only subservient slaves, so any attempts at liberty have to be suppressed--any way they can, any way they have to because, after all, the end (total slavery) justifies the means according to Marxist dogma.

This is the sort of thing Trump was elected to prevent. Let's hope he gets the chance and that Comrade Obama doesn't end up confiscating it all (in the name of the people) before Trump even gets in office.

I've said it before and I will say it again, the folks in the South with their unique heritage and the folks in the West with their unique heritage (both of which are connected) have the same enemies--liberals, socialists, communists, and the ruling CFR/Trilateral Establishment. Both Southerners and Westerners need to realize this and try to help one another out wherever they can. The Ruling Elite, if it can, will willingly destroy both of our cultures.

Welcome to (almost) "Free Mississippi"

by Al Benson Jr.

Welcome to (almost, but not quite) free Mississippi, where your state flag is not welcome on college campuses and where you can be threatened with arrest if you dare to carry it on campus. The folks that run many of these colleges and universities, not only in Mississippi but in other parts of the country as well are cultural Marxists, which means, in plain language that they are often the "nice" Marxists. They won't cut your throat but they will try to steal your kids' heritage from them. And if they happen to work at a state college then you are paying them to do this with your tax money. Comforting thought isn't it?

So the state flag is no longer welcome at Ole Miss and other places in Mississippi as well. But the people that run many of these centers of "education" would be more than willing to have Communist flags on campus, or flags representing the black liberation movement or the transgender movement. This, they believe, would demonstrate their penchant for "diversity" or multi-culturalism or whatever they are calling their particular brand of prejudice nowadays. I'm sure that when folks start to catch on they will change the names again.

I remember, years ago now, a school I knew about on the East Coast (the original Left Coast) brought in an identified Communist to teach the kids committed to their charge how to do "community organizing." When a local pastor called them on that they told him "We like to expose our students to all different viewpoints." Of course having someone from the John Birch Society in to lecture the students would never, and I mean never, have occurred to them. They wanted to be diverse but not THAT diverse!

Same situation in Mississippi. The educational elders in many of these schools welcome diversity, as long as it is a diversity from the left. The right is not worth mentioning--and they don't, anymore than they are forced to except to scream about how those on the right are all "racist, sexist, homophobes, Islamaphobes, and "deplorables." Sound familiar? The erstwhile candidate that is running (maybe not as fast as she used to) on the Democratic ticket could have taken her speech about us deplorables from most any college president in the country. But it gives you a really good view of what these folks thinks of us ordinary folks, and it ain't much, but then you already knew that.

So the kids at the University of Mississippi are free to go to the football games as long as they don't take their state flag in with them or as long as they don't bring in a sign requesting that the band play Dixie. The kids could walk in with almost anything else and it wouldn't be nearly as reprehensible as these two items. You have to know that your world has really been turned upside down when your state flag is banned on campus. The Communist Hammer & Sickle would be welcomed but the Mississippi state flag is not. If you are paying attention at all this has to tell you something, and if you're not paying attention then maybe you should be.

Lots of kids showed up with Mississippi state flags for last Saturday's football game at the University of Mississippi--and had them confiscated by campus police. According to an article on http://dailycaller.com "Students who had their flags taken away by police--along with signs declaring 'Let The Band Play Dixie'--said they were threatened with arrest if they did not give them up." So at the University of Mississippi you can be arrested for displaying your state flag. I tell you, folks, that's real progress, a sign of true "liberty" but for who? Certainly not for ordinary Mississippians. How long will it be before flying your state flag on your own property will be forbidden? Don't laugh--it's not as far fetched as it sounds. And if the folks in Mississippi don't stand up and resist this damn-foolishness it may well come to that.

I noted one positive event at the university's football game last week--a whole batch of students got together and unfurled a 20' by 30' Mississippi state flag in the student section. Someone sent me a photo of it on Facebook and it had to have caught someone's attention as big as it was, but it also showed that those students who held it up there for everyone to see must still have had some pride in and thankfulness for their state flag and its heritage. I don't know if the police eventually confiscated this one or if someone managed to sneak it out wrapped in their jacket or not but it was good to see the picture. It showed that, at some level, not quite all the students had bought into this cultural Marxism that is so cloyingly present on so many campuses, even in the South. With the Lord's help and guidance there may yet be hope, but the battle is far from over and far from won. And those who want to preserve their heritage, faith, and culture need to learn to "keep the skeer on" because you can bet our adversaries plan on doing that.
