After the culturally genocidal move of Washington and Lee University to ban all Confederate symbols, uniforms, flags, whatever, from the Washington and Lee campus, someone on my email list sent me a message in which he wondered where Washington and Lee got some of its funding. I thought that was a legitimate question and I hadn't seen anyplace where that was dealt with, not that I am surprised at that. So I did a bit of "huntin' and peckin" on the Internet, as my daughter calls it to see what I could find.
The six black students who were so uncomfortable with Confederate symbols are all law students, at least according to the news accounts I've read and they want everything Confederate removed from the campus and they've threatened "civil disobedience" if no one paid attention to their demands. That the school administration grovelled before them doesn't surprise me in the least. In the experience I've had with colleges they always seem to bend over backwards to cow-tow to the deviations of the leftist politically correct. No one else matters to them. That the majority of their students may not be politically correct and may not agree to the deviations of the left makes no difference whatever. The squeaky wheel always get the grease.
In scrounging around on the Internet I came across a couple things of interest. There was an article posted on April 30, 2014 by a Peter Jetton, the headline for which was: "W and L Tax Clinic Receives IRS Grant for Seventh Straight Year." The article started off: "The Tax Clinic at the Washington and Lee University School of Law has been awarded a matching grant from the Internal Revenue Service's Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic Program (LITC). This is the seventh straight year that the Tax Clinic has received federal dollars to support its efforts. The grant of $75,000, the largest in the Clinic's history, will help fund the Clinic for the 2014 calendar year."
According to another article, the clinic is directed by Michelle Lyon Drumbl, a former IRS attorney who is an assistant clinical professor of law at Washington and Lee University. The article went on to note that the Tax Clinic is "independent of the IRS and the federal government." That may be so, but they still take money from the IRS.
Back in August of 2010, in an article by Jeff Hanna, which appeared on http://www.wlu.edu it was noted that: "Affordable high-speed Internet access will be extended to Rockbridge County residents and a new shared data center will be built at Washington and Lee University, both as a result of a $6.9 million federal grant announced on Wednesday, Aug 18." I submit that $6.9 million ain't chump change. It seems that the university has done pretty well with federal grants over the years.
I don't know if any of this federal money has had any influence on how quickly the university sought to purge its campus of anything Confederate or not. I can't say for sure. But, with my suspicious mind it does make me wonder. Had the university leadership had the intestinal fortitude to at least look at the other side of this issue and consider how people on both sides felt, would further federal funding have been withheld? Again, we don't know, but it would be nice if we did. Is federal money used to blackmail institutions into doing what the feds want done? It wouldn't be the first time. They tried the same game at Hillsdale College in Michigan several years ago now and the way the Hillsdale administration got around it was to end up flat-out refusing to accept any students that took federal aid in any form. Based on what I have read about the leadership at Washington and Lee, I doubt they would be willing to do that. Cultural genocide against Christian whites and their history and heritage is much less expensive.

Cultural Genocide in Lexington, Virginia--what else is new?
by Al Benson Jr.
Cultural genocide against white Christians has almost become so commonplace that most folks don't even notice it anymore and it's just as bad in the South, if not worse, than in many other places. The cultural genocide promoters are beginning to feel at this point, with the leftist political slant so obvious now in Washington, that they have it within their grasp to completely eradicate Confederate and Southern culture if they just push a little harder, just get rid of a few more Confederate statues, change the names of a few more streets from Stonewall Jackson Blvd. to Malcolm X Avenue, and get rid of any Confederate flags or symbols in any and all institutions of learning, then they can erase all memory of Confederate and Southern history--all except for the slavery issue. That one has to be kept alive because the hope for some sort of future reparations is still down the road. All they have to do is to promote a little more white guilt and the silver will start to flow--right into their pockets. You have to realize that if there are ever any reparations paid they will not go to ordinary black folks, they will be paid to the race-baiters and those who know how to deal the race card off the bottom of the deck. That's really what it's all about for them--fleecing whitey!
Recently, at Washington and Lee University, several black students entered the chapel and felt "uncomfortable" with the Confederate flag, with its St. Andrews Cross hanging in there. I don't know what their agenda was (I can guess) but they went to the head of the school and complained.
The president of the school, Mr. Kenneth Ruscio, apparently is even beyond being politically correct. I get the impression from what I've read that he almost tripped over his own feet getting over to the chapel to get those "evil" Confederate flags out of there. Needless to say, there has been considerable protest against his eager willingness to play the politically correct "fearless leader." Not that he cares, because, like most of those in leadership positions in colleges and universities nowadays he has been so imbued with the "white guilt" syndrome that he can't wait to do the bidding of the leftist black radicals. He's their boy, all the way!
I wish I had a dollar for every letter that Mr. Ruscio has gotten about this situation from Southern patriots. I could probably take a trip to Mexico and back--if I could ever fight my way through the hoards of illegal immigrants to get there, or somehow manage to get through the Border Patrol checkpoints which seem more interested in harassing American citizens than in catching illegals. But I digress.
At Washington and Lee University you can tell the agenda is definitely Cultural Genocide. A 15-year old youngster, who had come with some people that were protesting what the university had done in removing Confederate flags, assayed to go into the chapel at the university because he just wanted to see the chapel and the grave of Lee's horse, Traveler. The youngster observed: "As I began to head for the Lee Chapel, a police officer stopped me and said that I could not enter the campus property with my Battle Flag or any images of Confederate flags on any of my possessions including my clothing. I really wanted to pay my respects to General Lee and Traveler so I had to turn my shirt inside out, take off my hat, and take off my badge. When I finally arrived at the chapel there was a sign on the front door saying that the Lee Chapel was closed for the weekend."
Folks, I ask, isn't that just a bit extreme? But, then, leftist cultural genocide is never anything but extreme--after all, when your agenda is the destruction of white, Christian culture, you can't afford to do it by half-way measures--you've got to go all the way, and if you can't get it buried deep enough, it might just rise up and haunt you.
Understand, when these black radicals prattle about "love and diversity" and "multiculturalism" there is no room for you in all that. You are supposed to be gone, eliminated, or at least marginalized to the point where you don't dare say anything. That this is part and parcel of the agenda of most schools nowadays should be evident from what has gone on at Washington and Lee University recently. The Marxist radicals feel they are in the ascendancy so there's no room for you. Since this is the position that Washington and Lee University has taken, I'd suggest that anyone planning to send their kids to that school might want to think twice and possibly choose another school--unless you are prepared to surrender your cultural identity for a mess of "racist" pottage.

We We're Right About the Anti-Illegal Amnesty Protests And the "News" Media
by Al Benson Jr.
Today, on the Internet, WorldNet Daily had an article about the anti-amnesty protests taking place across the country. Their article noted that there were protests in 319 different cities across the country. It also noted, as I said yesterday, that the regular "news" media would almost totally try to ignore and suppress information about the protests.
The media Ministry of Propaganda gets paid to make sure Comrade Obama looks good to the public (and they are really having to earn their money nowadays) and info about these protests will make the Marxist-in-Chief in the White House look bad so they must try to suppress all they can. Even Fox News has pretty much ignored these protests and that tells you where Fox News is really at--the same place all the other media prostitutes are at.
At any rate, the WorldNet Daily Internet article had photos of several of the demonstrations around the country, notably in the South and West. While whatever "news" media did take note of this went out of their way to label the protesters as "racists" which I also said would happen, the WorldNet Daily photos showed black people out there demonstrating against the illegal aliens along with white folks. Many blacks are finally starting to figure out that their blind support of Obama because of his skin color is going to cost them. And it will for a fact.
If the illegal aliens are given amnesty and allowed to remain in the country, what will that do to job possibilities for Americans of whatever color? You have to know this Regime will pass along whatever job possibilities it can to the illegals at the expense of Americans. That's the way this Regime operates. Ordinary Americans are at the bottom of this Regime's totem pole and they are expected to support all the weight of the millions of illegals we already have and that Obama wants to bring in. That's the name of the game folks, and all of you that voted for Obama have helped to sow the seeds of your own destruction. Comforting thought, ain't it?

Protests nationally over amnesty for illegal aliens on July 18-19, 2014
by Al Benson Jr.
Although the "news" media will try not to give it much coverage there is a big national protest going on over the weekend of July 18-19 all across the country. Demonstrations are being carried out in many states, often on overpasses on Interstate highways so that lots of drivers can see what's happening.
The demonstrators, belonging to several anti-illegal amnesty groups realize they need to get their message out to the public at large and they realize that what passes for the "news" media in this country will work to suppress their efforts. So they are seeking to be as visible as possible.
Demonstrations are being carried out in major cities. Two in Texas, one in Austin and one in San Antonio, are being carried out in front of the Mexican consulates in those two cities and in Salinas, California a demonstration is being held in front of the office of a Congressman. I'm sure he'll get the message even if he doesn't want to.
Those wanting a list of where demonstrations are being held can check out
http://www.alipac.us
There is a list on that site of all the planned demonstrations as of the afternoon of July 18th.
Check it out, and if there is a city, or an overpass, near you that a demonstration is being held at, go on out and take part. Our Marxist-in-Chief in Washington would love to flood the country will illegal immigrants at the expense of Americans, whom he seems to have no use for. When he said he was going to "fundamentally transform the United States" he wasn't kidding. Had people understood what he meant maybe he would not have gotten elected. Those who understand the Marxist mindset knew what he meant, but nobody wanted to hear it. They were all wrapped up in his "hope and change" balderdash.
One wonders how many Americans will have to be displaced to make room for the flood of illegal aliens he wants here. Just think where the country will go when he manages to give them the vote--and he will manage, one way or another.
Check out the locations for demonstrations and support them if at all possible.

Who Will Be the Next President? (What difference does it make?)
by Al Benson Jr.
I just read an article on http://www.humanevents.com written by David Limbaugh which asked "Hillary a shoo-in for POTUS?
Mr. Limbaugh says: "I'm probably in some miniscule minority, but I am just not too worried about Hillary Clinton's prospects to become our next president. I sense that people will detect her lack of authenticity and also properly associate her with Obama's failed policies. So far, many have given Hillary a pass on her enabling her husband's serial mistreatment of women in his personal life. She was complicit every step of the way, yet many view her as the victim rather than a co-conspirator." Mr. Limbaugh seems to think that those who viewed Hillary as a victim rather than a co-conspirator will now suddenly wake up and "detect her lack of authenticity." Why? If she fooled them on the first go-round, then why not now.
You would have thought that the public would have learned from Obama's first term just where he was really at (right 'round the Marxist bend) yet they re-elected him for a second term. Of course some creative "vote counting" in certain places might have helped that, plus the fact that the Republicans nominated the weakest possible sister to run against him as they did in 2008. Let's face it, the ruling elite that controls both political parties in this country wanted a second term for Obama so he could finish dismantling the country and they made sure he got it. Who are the "ruling elite" you might ask? Get on Google and look up the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Committee, and the Bilderburgers and see what you find. Go online and read Gary Allen's book "None Dare Call it Conspiracy." It's there and it's a real eyeopener.
Basically, struggling through a year of presidential campaigning in 2016 will be an exercise in futility. No matter which party you vote for you will be getting someone that is CFR-approved. If he, she, or it were not approved by the CFR and the other One World Government groups they would never be nominated in the first place. Folks, it's all a sham, a farce, an exercise in futility to make people think they actually have a choice of who they get for president. We have no real choice. The candidates for both parties are all prepackaged and scripted long ahead of time and the ruling elites know who they are going to foist off on the naive public as the next "president."
And the next president, like the current Marxist-in-Chief, will do exactly what the CFR and the Trilats and Bilderburgers tell he, she, or it to do. The presidents nowadays are about as independent as the fry cook at your local Burger King. They are told what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. If they slip the traces like Nixon did, they get "Watergated."
So don't waste your time, effort or money worrying about who the next president will be. That will not be decided by the voters, it will be decided by our ruling elite, so that no matter how we vote, we will get their man and their agenda. As they say, folks, start connecting the dots!
If you want to vote, then vote in local elections or state elections or for Congressman. Right now there are lots of scumbags in Congress that should be voted out (if the elections are honest, and that's always a big IF). Concentrate on your candidates at the local, parish, and county levels. If you can vote for decent people there some of them will eventually go to Washington and then you will have to keep your eye on them there, but at least you will know who they are. Just figure the next president will promote the One World Govt. agenda no matter which party he is in and concentrate on electing people that might be led to try to stop him.

The Children of Abraham
by Al Benson Jr.
Long ago God told Abraham, in Genesis 12:3, that God would bless those that blessed him and curse those that cursed him, and that, in him, all nations would be blessed.
Many today take this verse to mean that God will bless or curse the nations in regard to how they deal with the natural, secular nation of Israel. What the verse actually means is that God will bless the nations through His Son, Jesus Christ, and that the nations will be judged based upon their reaction to Christ and His followers. Those who accept Christ as Lord and Saviour will become the spiritual children of Abraham.
Galatians 3:16 tells us that God's promises were made to Abraham and to his seed, which is Christ. Verse 29 of Galatians 3 also informs us that if we accept Christ Jesus as our personal Lord and Saviour then we also become Abraham's seed and heirs according to God's promises which He made to Abraham in Genesis 12:3.
God has said, in effect, that those who respond to the call of His Son and ask His forgiveness for their sins then become the true Israel. Let that thought sink in for a minute. it's probably not what you were taught in Sunday School. It isn't what I was taught. It's probably a new concept to you, and yet, history shows that it is not so new. God's true Israel is not a kingdom made with hands, or with military might, even Jewish military might paid for with US dollars. Rather, it is a spiritual nation. peopled by both Jews and Gentiles, a nation, or Kingdom, created by saving faith in Christ, which God sovereignly imparts to His elect.
In 1st Peter 2:9, Peter calls God's Israel "a royal priesthood, an holy nation," Closer to our own day, Jonathan Edwards preached a sermon called "Sinners in the hand of an angry God." In that sermon he plainly stated that those who are not born again, who have not turned to Christ Jesus for salvation from their sins "are aliens from the commonwealth of Israel." To Edwards it was plain that citizenship in the true Israel since Christ's advent was through faith in Christ.
Let us give thanks that, through Christ, we can become members of the commonwealth of Israel, God's Kingdom, that we can become members of the "holy nation" spoken of in 1st Peter. Abraham rejoiced to see Christ's day and was glad. Can we do differently?
A good little book to read that deals with some of this has been written by Evangelist John L. Bray. It's called "Israel In Bible Prophecy." When I bought it it was $5.00 and could be obtained from John L. Bray Ministry, P O Box 90129, Lakeland, Florida 33804. You might check and see if it's still available.

The New Soviet States of Amerika and Thought Crime
by Al Benson Jr.
Most of us are familiar with George Orwell's book 1984 in which he mentions "Thoughtcrime"--the thinking of thoughts that Big Brother would not approve of. If Big Brother doesn't approve of it then it must be a crime, right? Or if it isn't yet it soon will be--as soon as the current Regime can either marshal enough votes in Congress to pass a law making it a crime. Short of doing that, an Executive Order might be issued.
The latest on the Obamanite agenda is thought crime--especially as it pertains to Trotskyite "racism" which, in this country, people are being taught is the new unforgivable sin. In the Holy Scriptures Jesus tells us that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the one unforgivable sin, but the present Regime will have none of that Bible-thumping stuff, because their Adviser from on low has revealed to them that the real unforgivable sin is "racism"--well at least "white racism." Black racism, so it has been revealed to them, is really a virtue, but they have to work to stamp out that rotten "white racism" so they can enthrone that virtuous black racism.
And the way to start doing that, according to the "First Lady" in a speech she recently gave at the graduation ceremony at a public brain laundry, is to make sure the kids start monitoring what their parents say regarding race. That way, if the kids hear any adverse comments pertaining to the race question they can immediately spring up from the supper table, landing confidently on the moral high ground, while they commence lecturing their parents on why they shouldn't commit the new unforgivable sin.
One wonders how long it will be before the kids are encouraged to start reporting their parents' conversations to a newly-appointed "Race Commissar" who will then evaluate those conversations to determine whether the parents need to attend mandatory sensitivity training sessions, or possibly a FEMA "re-education" camp to purge their wayward souls from their old reactionary attitudes. And, should they refuse, they just might not make it home again, and the minions of Big Brother can assume the rearing (and brainwashing) of their children. Big Brother would like that.
I recall that, during the reigns of Comrades Stalin and Mao, students were encouraged to monitor their parents' conversations and attitudes, and if the new fledgling Marxists felt their parents were not in line with current Marxist orthodoxy they reported them and the parents were brought up on the carpet to account for their reactionary deviations. The kids were taught in their Marxist public schools (really government schools just like here) that this was what they should do, and many of them did it with pride.
An author, Cheryl Chumley, who has written a book called Police State USA has commented on this. She said, as recorded on http://joemiller.us that "Michelle Obama's push for kids around the nation to monitor their family members for perceived racist comments is just another way the government seeks to inject itself into an area it doesn't really belong--the American home." Well, she's right there.
Chumley sees a very disturbing trend in this country with political figures now singling out private individuals and groups because of their beliefs and using government agencies and public ridicule to intimidate and silence their opponents. All standard Marxist practice. She says this is "...something that belongs in a George Orwell novel, not in the White House..." Theoretically she's right. In actuality however, if you understand this current Regime, this is exactly something that belongs in the White House, because this "White House" is really a "Red House" and this is standard propaganda for Red Houses peopled by Marxists and their syncophants.
We've all gotten used to seeing the First Commissars--oh excuse me, I meant the First Couple, as they point their fingers at "we the people" and lecture us about what we should be doing, with just a bit of condescension. They talk down to us as if we were school children and they were sages with all the wisdom of the world. I suppose we are all supposed to be thankful that they even deign to pay attention to us, because, after all, they are EVERYTHING and we are NOTHING. We only exist to pay for their expensive digs and travel accomodations while they travel around the world apologizing to everyone everywhere for the fact that we are such lowlife's. Makes you wonder whose running the government (hint--we know it ain't Obama). He's just the poster boy for George Soros and the Council on Foreign Relations.
So, if your kids come home from school with big plans to eavesdrop on any conversations you may have where the subject of race might be mentioned, you will know they have taken their cue from Comrade Michelle.
Most of us are familiar with George Orwell's book 1984 in which he mentions "Thoughtcrime"--the thinking of thoughts that Big Brother would not approve of. If Big Brother doesn't approve of it then it must be a crime, right? Or if it isn't yet it soon will be--as soon as the current Regime can either marshal enough votes in Congress to pass a law making it a crime. Short of doing that, an Executive Order might be issued.
The latest on the Obamanite agenda is thought crime--especially as it pertains to Trotskyite "racism" which, in this country, people are being taught is the new unforgivable sin. In the Holy Scriptures Jesus tells us that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the one unforgivable sin, but the present Regime will have none of that Bible-thumping stuff, because their Adviser from on low has revealed to them that the real unforgivable sin is "racism"--well at least "white racism."

One Major Southern Problem--Public Schools, Part 2
by Al Benson Jr.
Horace Mann received much support in his endeavor to kill the influence of Christian education from people like Robert Owen, the British socialist who came to this country and founded the socialist colony at New Harmony, Indiana in the late 1820s. Owen was the man whose socialist scheme in Indiana "lighted up (Abraham) Lincoln's heart" according to Lincoln's biographer, Carl Sandburg, himself a socialist.
So the foundation of public education in this country was clearly anti-Christian--and if that was the case in the beginning, then how, pray tell, do you get it back to the "good old days?" There never were any "good old days" in public education. All there were, if you perceive events correctly, were times years ago when the anti-Christianity and socialism were a little less evident than now, but they were still there. If the root of the tree is rotten, you can't improve it by lopping off a few small branches and labeling it "school reform." Unfortunately, most Christians in the last 160 years have never figured that out.
After the public school system had operated in Yankeeland for about thirty years, one generation, along came the War of Northern Aggression. When the shooting part of that war was over, then what is euphemistically called "reconstruction" was instituted, starting in the South--and guess what came South with the Carpetbaggers? You got it--the public school system, complete with Yankee school teachers and textbooks, all designed to show the benighted South the path of true salvation--not through Jesus, but through the State. Up until that point, you hadn't had a public school "system" in the South. Here and there you had parentally-controlled local schools, and that was it because that was enough. As part of the Yankee/Marxist "reconstruction" you got the public school system you have all come to know and love.
I have one question no one has yet been able to answer. Most Southern folks I know that know anything at all, hate "reconstruction" and justifiably so. I hate it and what it did to the South, and I was born in the North. If you hate "reconstruction" why do you love public schools? They are a major part of what you profess to hate. Have folks in the South finally been brainwashed to the point where they now love "Big Brother?"
You will never even begin to preserve your culture, history, and heritage in any lasting way until you start to realize what the public school brainlaundering has done to you and your kids and you start taking them out of public schools and either putting them in Christian schools or teaching them at home. It's hard for folks to grasp this because they were brainwashed in the exact same way their kids are being brainwashed now.
However, we need to ask the Lord's help so we can begin to think outside the public school box. I would exhort folks to think about this and to ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit as they seek to deal with what they need to do regarding the education of their children.
I recently read an article that asked the question, "Are Christians who put their kids in public schools committing a sin?" The upshot of the article was that, if they are unaware of what the public schools are all about, then, no, they are not, but if they have some knowledge of what the public schools are and still choose to leave their kids in them, then they have a major problem. There are many instances where parents have no other alternative. But there are also many instances where parents do have the possibility of Christian alternatives and they just don't bother, or worse, yet, because their kids are in public school, they stand up and defend public education. Again, they don't know the history of public education in this country, or they don't want to know it. Either way they have a problem they will, at some point, have to deal with.
Either way, the South has to deal with the public education problem. If it does not, it will cease to exist as a viable entity and a culture that had a Christian worldview will be lost forever.

One Major Southern Problem--Public Schools
by Al Benson Jr.
Although I am writing this, frankly, I don't expect very many people will want to pay much attention to it. You see, it will go against the grain of the propaganda they have been fed and ingested for well over the past century or so, and to do something about the problem would involve personal responsibility, and most folks today flee personal responsibility as they would the plague.
The small North Louisiana town I live in thinks the local public schools there are the greatest thing since sliced bread. The possibility that the local public schools there may be brainwashing their children is the last thing they want to hear, and so if you dare to approach the subject they just tune you out. "Don't confuse me with the facts, please." It's so much better to remain ignorant, then I don't have to DO anything. This is the typical attitude in town and cities across the South, and the rest of the country, too.
The public school is sacrosanct. It is the sacred cow. The only time anyone ever dares question it is if their kid wears a Confederate flag tee shirt to school and gets sent home for that. The black kid next to him may have a Malcolm X tee shirt on, but that's okay. It gets an automatic pass, just like the tee shirt with the "gay pride" stuff all over it. These are okay, by public school standards today, but your kid's Confederate flag tee shirt has to come off, immediately if not sooner. If the parents decide to protest this, the result is usually far from satisfactory.
I've talked with folks whose kids or grandkids come home from public school spouting anti-Confederate propaganda about how the Confederate flag is "racist." I despise the term "racist" because it is of Trotskyite origin and every time we use it we are playing on our opponents' turf. Same thing when we argue with the local public school bureaucrat about our kid's Confederate flag tee shirt--we are playing on their turf and it's a battle we will seldom win. They already know that. We haven't figured it out yet.
Rather than going through an exercise in exasperation, what we should start doing is just taking the kids out of public school. What we need to do when a problem arises is to just go and state our position politely and then inform the local education commisar "my child will not be returning to your school again." Don't fuss, fume, or get ticked off--the educrat likes that and it gives him or her a reason to put their thumb down on you as a "recalcitrant parent." So don't fuss, just take the kid out. End of conversation! That will derpive the local school district of, depending on where you live, anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 per year in federal money. And if there were a big enough flap over Confederate symbols in one particular area and ten people had the guts to remove their kids from the public system, you can see where that would cost the local public brain laundry some serious money.
Most Southern folks seem to have the opinion that the local public school is second cousin to God, motherhood and apple pie--and it just ain't so. It never was. People love to prattle about the "good old days" when they went to public school and how much better it would be if we could just go back to that. Sorry to disillusion you, but those "good old days" never really existed. The public school's foundations were bad from day one. Public schools, as we now have them, were originally started up in New England, Massachusetts to be specific. The major mover and shaker in starting them was a man named Horace Mann. You may even have seen schools named after him, I have. But do you really know doodly sqat about him?
Horace Mann was a Unitarian. Know what that is? Know what Unitarians believe? They are people, calling themselves Christians, who do not recognize the Deity of Jesus Christ, who think Jesus may have been a great moral example and teacher, but definitely not the Son of God. What really bothered Mann was the influence of church schools in his area. In fact, that bothered him so much that he sought to come up with a way to counteract it.
He didn't think kids should be influenced by Christian education, that they would be better off in "secular" (humanist) schools, run by the state and regulated by the state, where Christian ideas and influence could be muted, and eventually done away with.
To be continued.

Gun Violence Is Up In the US, Right? WRONG!
by Al Benson Jr.
Recently I noted an article by Kerby Anderson on Kerby Anderson's Point of View dealing with a recent study by the Pew Research Center.
The study noted that most Americans, due to the blatant propaganda by what passes for the "news" media in this country, have been brainwashed into thinking that national gun violence is out of control.
The Pew Report went on to explain that: "National rates of gun homicide and other violent gun crimes are strikingly lower now than during their peak in the mid-1990s, paralleling a general decline in violent crime." Anderson continue on, noting: "Government statistics show that the rate of non-fatal violent gun crime victimization dropped 75% in the past 20 years. The gun homicide rate dropped 49% in that same period."
And Anderson made an insightful observation, stating: "Let's put it another way. At a time when the nation was having a debate about guns and gun control, more than 8 out of 10 Americans had a perspective about gun violence that was completely opposite of the true reality. I think we all know why the public perception is incorrect. The news media focus out attention on crimes, especially gun crimes. This has been true for some time, but was especially true since the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. This latest survey once again is a reminder that public opinion can often be wrong, and that's why we need accurate statistics before we enact government policies."
However, needless to say, between the current regime's efforts to tear down the Second Amendment and the willing complicity of the "news" media, accurate statistics will be one of the last things we get.
This is one reason we need to learn how to do the research ourselves so we can find out what really goes on and not just sit back like spiritual couch potatoes believing all that the politicians and their paid prostitutes in the media dish out to us. If we want truth, we have to ask the Lord to show us how to find it, because from the "news" media and Washington it will hardly ever be forthcoming.

The Socialists and Marxists Never Quit in Appalachia (or anywhere else)
by Al Benson Jr.
Back in the mid-1970s, socialists and Marxists, along with the willing assistance of the public school establishment, sought to establish a solid beachhead for their agenda in Appalachia via the textbook route. They sought to implant Cultural Marxism in the public schools in Kanawha County, West Virginia through the adoption of a set of highly questionable textbooks. They thought they would just slip it in by everyone and no one would ever notice what they had done in an area that was highly resistant to outside influences. It was probably to be a major coup for them. It didn't quite work out the way they had planned. They had underestimated parental resistance and resistance in general.
Oh, they eventually got their politically correct textbooks in, but the doing of it caused a major flap in West Virginia and around the country and lots of folks all over the place were alerted to what went on in public schools (and what's still going on) and many opted for other means to educate their kids. New Christian schools were started, which I'm sure was not the fondest desire of the Cultural Marxists.
Now another round in the same ongoing game is about to commence, this time at the university level. Often you can determine the inherent right or morality of a cause by looking at who supports it. If Communists and socialists are in the vanguard of a cause then you'd better look askance at it and check it out because it won't be what you were told it was.
I came across an article on the Internet just this morning (4/3/14) from http://www.redstate.com which dealt with a situation at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. The headline read: "SEIU Teams With Socialists, Other Marxist 'Revolutionaries' In Appalachia." Having lived in West Virginia for two years back in the 1970s during the textbook protest, that caught my attention. We lived a little over forty miles east of Huntington.
At any rate, it seems that Marshall University in Huntington has been having some employee problems that have caught the attention of the socialist/Marxist crowd, or maybe they were the ones that pointed them out, I don't know for sure. I don't pretend to have extensive knowledge of conditions at Marshall University. Maybe some of the gripes are even legitimate ones, but when you look at the leftist groups in the middle of this you have to question.
According to the Red State article, quoting from the socialist-run Worker's World: "A coalition of activists from Fight Imperialism, Stand Together (FIST), Workers World Party, Students for Appalachian Socialism, and Jewel City Solidarity Network and Service Employees union Local 32BJ held a public meeting on March 25th to kick off a 'Fight for 15 at Marshall University!' campaign. The meeting was attended by campus workers, faculty, students and community supporters, who received the coalition's message with enthusiasm and support. Attendees signed petitions that will be hand-delivered to the university administration. The goal of the meeting was to begin to build a mass movement to force the university to accept the coalition's list of demands."
The Red State commentator observes: "It is worth noting, however, that the allies of the SEIU are not merely fighting for higher wages--they are fighting for a socialist society where, in the case of the Workers World Party, "the wealth is socially owned and production is planned to satisfy human need. Here is the list of the SEIU's Appalachian 'allies:' FIST (Fight Imperialism--Stand Together) is a...national group of young revolutionaries. On its website, FIST states, 'We believe that the only way to achieve true liberation for all peoples throughout the world is through socialism." Talk about Lenin's "useful idiots"--they're here in spades!
And the Students for Appalachian Socialism website says: "Our vision of socialism is a society rules from the bottom up, a society that's single moral is 'people before profit.'...Che Guevara once said that 'the life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.' That being noted, we will dare to struggle for socialism." Che Guevara, the terrorist, must have loved humanity--that's why he killed so many. These are the people that are spearheading a list of "demands" to be made of Marshall University.
Interesting that these folks claim they are not interested in money or profits, but one of the main demands this coalition is making of the university is: "A $15 minimum wage for all workers with a stipulation that the increased cost of workers' wages will not come from the elimination of any jobs or by shifting workers to part-time, stagnation or elimination of advancement of workers' wages past the new entry-level wage of $15, or tuition and/or fee hikes to students."
In other words, $15 per hour is just the beginning for these folks. Even Obama didn't dare propose that kind of a hike in the minimum wage when he floated that trial balloon, but, apparently, for this socialist coalition the sky's the limit!
They have to realize there's probably no way the university can afford that, which means they don't really expect that much, but they will be willing to dicker with the university for a lower figure--plus other "concessions." Only time will tell what those other "concessions" might be--a new course in Marxist studies, a Socialist Critique of American Culture, or a course in Transgender politics or what have you. I'm sure they have something in mind. You can bet the farm these socialists/Marxists have some project in mind they will demand that the university enact and they are trying to build support among ignorant workers for their agenda by seeming to be concerned about the plight of poor, underpaid workers, which they, in reality, couldn't care less about.
That's how these leftist groups operate. They seize upon what might be some legitimate grievance and use it to insert their socialist camel's nose into the tent, and before you know it, the socialist camel is completely inside the tent and anyone not on the left is pushed out. Their genuine concern for the "poor and downtrodden" is so much balderdash.
The folks in West Virginia better keep an eye on this situation. It bodes no good for them in any case.
Back in the mid-1970s, socialists and Marxists, along with the willing assistance of the public school establishment, sought to establish a solid beachhead for their agenda in Appalachia via the textbook route. They sought to implant Cultural Marxism in the public schools in Kanawha County, West Virginia through the adoption of a set of highly questionable textbooks. They thought they would just slip it in by everyone and no one would ever notice what they had done in an area that was highly resistant to outside influences. It was probably to be a major coup for them. It didn't quite work out the way they had planned. They had underestimated parental resistance and resistance in general.
Oh, they eventually got their politically correct textbooks in, but the doing of it caused a major flap in West Virginia and around the country and lots of folks all over the place were alerted to what went on in public schools (and what's still going on) and many opted for other means to educate their kids. New Christian schools were started, which I'm sure was not the fondest desire of the Cultural Marxists.
Now another round in the same ongoing game is about to commence, this time at the university level. Often you can determine the inherent right or morality of a cause by looking at who supports it. If Communists and socialists are in the vanguard of a cause then you'd better look askance at it and check it out because it won't be what you were told it was.
I came across an article on the Internet just this morning (4/3/14) from http://www.redstate.com which dealt with a situation at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. The headline read: "SEIU Teams With Socialists, Other Marxist 'Revolutionaries' In Appalachia." Having lived in West Virginia for two years back in the 1970s during the textbook protest, that caught my attention. We lived a little over forty miles east of Huntington.
At any rate, it seems that Marshall University in Huntington has been having some employee problems that have caught the attention of the socialist/Marxist crowd, or maybe they were the ones that pointed them out, I don't know for sure. I don't pretend to have extensive knowledge of conditions at Marshall University. Maybe some of the gripes are even legitimate ones, but when you look at the leftist groups in the middle of this you have to question.
According to the Red State article, quoting from the socialist-run Worker's World: "A coalition of activists from Fight Imperialism, Stand Together (FIST), Workers World Party, Students for Appalachian Socialism, and Jewel City Solidarity Network and Service Employees union Local 32BJ held a public meeting on March 25th to kick off a 'Fight for 15 at Marshall University!' campaign. The meeting was attended by campus workers, faculty, students and community supporters, who received the coalition's message with enthusiasm and support. Attendees signed petitions that will be hand-delivered to the university administration. The goal of the meeting was to begin to build a mass movement to force the university to accept the coalition's list of demands."
The Red State commentator observes: "It is worth noting, however, that the allies of the SEIU are not merely fighting for higher wages--they are fighting for a socialist society where, in the case of the Workers World Party, "the wealth is socially owned and production is planned to satisfy human need. Here is the list of the SEIU's Appalachian 'allies:' FIST (Fight Imperialism--Stand Together) is a...national group of young revolutionaries. On its website, FIST states, 'We believe that the only way to achieve true liberation for all peoples throughout the world is through socialism." Talk about Lenin's "useful idiots"--they're here in spades!
And the Students for Appalachian Socialism website says: "Our vision of socialism is a society rules from the bottom up, a society that's single moral is 'people before profit.'...Che Guevara once said that 'the life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.' That being noted, we will dare to struggle for socialism." Che Guevara, the terrorist, must have loved humanity--that's why he killed so many. These are the people that are spearheading a list of "demands" to be made of Marshall University.
Interesting that these folks claim they are not interested in money or profits, but one of the main demands this coalition is making of the university is: "A $15 minimum wage for all workers with a stipulation that the increased cost of workers' wages will not come from the elimination of any jobs or by shifting workers to part-time, stagnation or elimination of advancement of workers' wages past the new entry-level wage of $15, or tuition and/or fee hikes to students."
In other words, $15 per hour is just the beginning for these folks. Even Obama didn't dare propose that kind of a hike in the minimum wage when he floated that trial balloon, but, apparently, for this socialist coalition the sky's the limit!
They have to realize there's probably no way the university can afford that, which means they don't really expect that much, but they will be willing to dicker with the university for a lower figure--plus other "concessions." Only time will tell what those other "concessions" might be--a new course in Marxist studies, a Socialist Critique of American Culture, or a course in Transgender politics or what have you. I'm sure they have something in mind. You can bet the farm these socialists/Marxists have some project in mind they will demand that the university enact and they are trying to build support among ignorant workers for their agenda by seeming to be concerned about the plight of poor, underpaid workers, which they, in reality, couldn't care less about.

How To Help Gun Control--Lie To Students About The Second Amendment
by Al Benson Jr.
What's one of the best ways to help to foster a "gun control" culture among the next generation? That's easy. Just lie to them in their courses in public school about what the Second Amendment really says. That's all it takes, and if you just can keep on telling the lie often enough and long enough the kids will start to believe it because "it's what we were taught in public school so it must be right." Right? I hate to be a party-pooper, but that is 100% WRONG! Teaching kids fake or perverted "history" is never right.
Many of you have heard of the new "Common Core" educational standards which most states have, unfortunately, signed on for in their public schools, thinking this would improve public school education. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those who know most about this feau-education program have labeled it "Commie Core" and that isn't too far off the mark. The John Birch Society recently put out a DVD on this program which is quite revelatory. I have a batch of them a friend sent me. If anyone is interested send me your name and address and $3.00 for mailing cost and I will send one along to you.
To try to go into all the problems with Common Core here would take up enough space for a small book, so I will cite one glaring example of their "curriculum" in which they outright lie to students about the Second Amendment.
Public school district 186 in Springfield, Illinois (where else but in the hometown of "Honest" Abe) they have a Common Core workbook that deals with the Second Amendment. In the US Constitution the Second Amendment clearly states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Teach kids that truth and most of us have no problem with it.
However, the version of this being taught in District 186 in Springfield says: "Amendment 2 (1791) Right to bear arms--This amendment states that people have the right to certain weapons, providing that they register them and that they have never been in prison..." Just a slight deviation from the original wouldn't you say?
This public school workbook is telling students that people have a right to "certain weapons" provided they "register" them and haven't been in the slammer. Sorry folks, that's not what the Second Amendment really says. That's what the public school Educrats wish it said. That's what they'd like to get it changed to say. And who would decide which weapons our people could have? Why our completely trustworthy federal government, that's who. You folks who "trust" the federal government nowadays, please don't all raise your hands at once! Rest assured I am not among your number. This government has lied to us about so much for so long, no matter which party is in power (and they're both controlled by the same people) that I'm afraid I don't believe much, if any, of what they tell us.
And where do public schools get their educational guidelines, from the Department of Education in Washington, that's where. So it's in their interest to lie to us about the Second Amendment. If this drivel is being passed off as the Second Amendment in school districts in Illinois, then where else is it being passed off? Louisiana, Texas, Connecticut or New York?
Get a copy of the Bill of Rights and see what the Second Amendment really says, not what the public school educrats would like it to say and what they are teaching our kids that it says. And while you are at it, why not look also for alternate forms of education for your children, such as Christian or home schools? At least, at this point, these would still give your kids the real Second Amendment.

Who Is Debo Adegbile???
by Al Benson Jr.
Who is Debo Adegbile? You mean you don't know? Ever heard of him? Given the sterling quality of our "news" (pardon me while I gag) media, if you haven't I'm not surprised. Or if you have recently heard of him but really don't know anything about him, I'm not surprised there either. He's one of those far-left Obamaphiles the establishment media would rather you didn't know too much about. Less questions that way.
Debo P. Adegbile has been Director of Litigation for the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund. That he is part of the NAACP should tell you something right there. These are the folks that think they are "helping" black folks by ridding the countryside of all Confederate flags. They don't really know any responsible way to "help" black folks so they do that instead. But, I digress, so read on.
According to http://www.americanfreedomfighters.com "In 1982, former Black Panther Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. Abu-Jamal never denied the killing during his trial. He and his supporters are still unapologetic for Faulkner's death." According to Matthew Vadum: "The question of Abu-Jamal's guilt is not a close call," according to John Fund. "Two hospital workers testified that Abu-Jamal confessed to them: 'I shot the mother...and I hope the mother...dies.' His brother, William, has never testified to his brother's innocence even though he was at the scene of the crime. Abu-Jamal himself chose not to testify in his own defense." According to the article, Abu-Jamal shot the officer once in the back, and then, standing over him, shot him four more times at close range, one time in the face. Now there's real courage, don't you think? I thought only white folks were supposed to hate that much and that blacks were incapable of that kind of hatred--at least that's what some of these egghead college professors tell us. Guess they were wrong.
The freedom fighter article states: "One of those unapologetic supporters is a former NAACP Legal Defense Official Debo P. Adegbile, who has worked tirelessly to free guilty murderer Abu-Jamal from prison. President Obama has nominated Adegbile to head the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division as an assistant attorney general to replace radical Tom Perez, who is now Secretary of Labor. Adegbile is sure to continue carrying out the radical racial agenda of President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder with the weight of the law behind him." Through his work with the NAACP and in arguing before the Supreme Court, Adegbile has made it known that he doesn't believe that civil rights apply to whites. So, in other words, all the other races are entitled to them and we aren't. Are you really surprised? If you've been doing your homework you shouldn't be. If you haven't, then shame on you!
Obama, dedicated Marxist that he is, is incapable of nominating any other kind of person for any office. The far Left is all he has ever known from his childhood up. His mind runs in this one narrow Marxist groove and he just can't think any other way. I have often wondered how many of those that so zealously support him have any clue. Of course it wouldn't make any difference to many of them anyway. As long as the skin color is right that's all that matters to most of his supporters. There have been several astute black leaders that have learned where he is coming from and tried to warn their people. Mostly they don't care to hear it. And as for those squirrely white liberals that support him, even if they had to hold their noses when they did it, they'd feel guilty of "white racism" if they dared to vote any other way.
However, Adegbile will have to wait just a little longer before he gets to sit in the Department of Justice to rub our white noses in it. To do that he had to be confirmed by the Senate, and, according to what I heard today, March 5, 2014, his nomination didn't quite make it--this time. The Senate rejected his nomination 52-47, but not to worry, our glorious senator from Louisiana, Ms. Landrieu, voted for him. That should make her constituents here in Louisiana deliriously happy--shouldn't it?
Adegbile is so far to the left that even seven Democratic senators felt impelled to vote against his nomination along with the Republicans. Majority Leader Harry Reid voted no, but, under Senate rules, this lets him bring Adegbile's nomination back up again at a later time--probably after the election. So many things happen "after the election." Comrade Reid didn't vote against him out of conviction. He voted against him so he could give him another shot later on. Isn't the "honesty" of our political class a wonderment to behold? I tell you folks, there's real "transparency" here.
Just maybe we need to write our senators and instruct them to vote against the radical leftist the next time a vote for him arises in the august chambers of the Senate--and I don't doubt it will arise. Someone who believe whites have no civil rights is just what Obama wants.
In the meantime, Comrade Obama will have to be patient and pretend he is going along with "the will of the people."
For those that are interested, a friend of mine, David Sauls, in Georgia has a new blog spot up that is worth checking out. David often comes up with insightful commentary that you should check out. His new blog is http://troublesomecreekpublications.wordpress.com

The United States is the "Main Enemy"
by Al Benson Jr.
Recently, I came across a batch of old books about Soviet Communism and its war on America, both in this country and around the world.
I am not one of those naive people who believes that "communism is dead, that it died when the Berlin Wall came down." In our day that's what our own government would have us to believe, in fact our own government may be among the biggest allies the communists have, especially with the present Marxist administration that is in power.
I just finished reading an informative book called The Secret World written by Peter Deriabin, a Soviet defector to this country back in 1954. In 1953 he had been stationed in Vienna, Austria, where he was the Chief of Soviet Counterintelligence and the Communist Party boss for the Austro-German section. He ended up testifying before both the Senate and the House Un-American Activities Committee back in 1959. He wrote and co-authored several books about his life as a secret policeman in the Soviet Union. Mr. Deriabin's book that I read can still be found on Amazon.com It went though three printings, the one I read from 1959, one in 1982 and another in 1987 and the full text can be found online.
Deriabin offered clear analysis in several areas. On page 29 he observed: "The Communist rulers, furthermore, steeped in the Marxist 'working-class' theory of Revolution, distrusted and despised the Russian farmer both as a class and individually and saw him as an enemy of their state. Collectivization appeared to offer a solution by turning the independent farmer into an agricultural 'worker.' He would, then, it was hoped, develop a true 'working-class' psychology and a necessary loyalty to the regime, because he would be so dependent on it." A true principle of Marxism/Leninism--do away with private property and make sure it all belongs to the "state." That way everyone is dependent on the State for his bread one way or another.
Another theory that had real currency among the Communists was the "guilty until proven innocent" theory. Deriabin noted: "To the Chekist (secret police) inefficiency is the same as criminality, and criminality, by definition, is not an individual's deviation, but automatically a political crime against the state. To a mind trained in this pattern a faulty conveyer belt is sabotage unless conclusively proved otherwise. A fire in a factory suggests the existence of smouldering 'anti-Sovietism' among the workers...Gossip is enough to start a complicated investigation. No specific crime or utterance need be alleged...The question of guilt or innocence has long since been rendered academic." It seems to me that, more and more, we are operating on that theory in this country. With the IRS, if they find a "problem" they don't have to prove your guilt, you have to prove your innocence.
I just read an article on the Internet about the federal government trying to decide whether to use a drone to kill a US citizen in Pakistan because he is a "suspected" terrorist. No concern about trying to determine whether he is really guilty or not, just concern over whether they should take him out because he is "suspected" of terrorism.
Deriabin noted the difference in the standard of living between ordinary Soviet citizens and the ruling elite there. The Marxist concept of a classless society looks great on paper and in theory, but in reality it doesn't work that way in real life in any Communist country. Under Marxism the rich (ruling elite) get richer and the poor get even poorer so they can contribute to the comfort which the ruling elite think they are entitled to live in. In this country we now have a (Marxist) "health care" system which all citizens are expected to participate in and which they can tax you for if you don't choose to participate. But our ruling elite, Congress, the cabinet, and all those wonderful office-holders and bureaucrats in Washington are exempt from that. They have their own plan and it's lots better than what the ordinary citizen can afford, but they don't have to worry--we pay for it all.
Toward the end of the book Deriabin said: "But no one can properly appreciate freedom unless he has been deprived of it." We are in the process of being deprived of it in this country and most of us don't even have a clue to what is happening to us. We won't grasp that until it happens--and maybe that's what it will take to make us appreciate it--our losing it by default--because that's what's happening.
Most Americans don't want to be bothered defending their liberty--too much trouble and responsibility to all that--let George do it so it doesn't interrupt my poker night next week. We fail to realize that our liberty is a gift from God, and as such, we are obligated to seek to defend it and protect it. We are too busy squandering it to be concerned about it. One bright morning we will wake up and find we no longer have it. Our current Marxist-in-Chief will have decreed, by executive order, that we don't need it any longer and so we will now have martial law from henceforth into eternity--so he hopes.
A final thought, if our liberty is God-given, what will the Lord say to each of us on Judgment Day when He asks us what we did with the liberty He gave us and we stand before Him and have to tell Him we frittered it away because it was too much of a responsibility to be bothered with?
The United States used to be the "Main Enemy" of Marxism. It isn't anymore.

They have their own plan and it's lots better than what the ordinary citizen can afford, but they don't have to worry--we pay for it all.
Toward the end of the book Deriabin said: "But no one can properly appreciate freedom unless he has been deprived of it." We are in the process of being deprived of it in this country and most of us don't even have a clue to what is happening to us. We won't grasp that until it happens--and maybe that's what it will take to make us appreciate it--our losing it by default--because that's what's happening.
Most Americans don't want to be bothered defending their liberty--too much trouble and responsibility to all that--let George do it so it doesn't interrupt my poker night next week. We fail to realize that our liberty is a gift from God, and as such, we are obligated to seek to defend it and protect it. We are too busy squandering it to be concerned about it. One bright morning we will wake up and find we no longer have it. Our current Marxist-in-Chief will have decreed, by executive order, that we don't need it any longer and so we will now have martial law from henceforth into eternity--so he hopes.
A final thought, if our liberty is God-given, what will the Lord say to each of us on Judgment Day when He asks us what we did with the liberty He gave us and we stand before Him and have to tell Him we frittered it away because it was too much of a responsibility to be bothered with?
The United States used to be the "Main Enemy" of Marxism. It isn't anymore.

So Who's Kidding Who?
by Al Benson Jr.
I just got through reading an article on http://www.newsmax.com in which political commentator Mary Matalin, wife of former Bill Clinton adviser James Carville, stated that Republicans don't have to worry in the next presidential election because Hillary won't even be running. She then went on to list many of the possible candidates in the Republican Party that might be making a run for the presidency, some of them even retreads left over from 2012.
As I read the article, the thought came to mind that "this is a great article for fooling the naive among the conservatives into thinking they will really have a choice of who gets to run for president among the Republican half of the oligarchy." They can argue among themselves (and it's all purely academic) about who would be better for the country--Christie, Jindal, Jeb Bush, Huckabee or Ted Cruz from Texas. And you know what? None of it will make any difference.
The vast majority of the electorate, comprising both parties, fails to realize that there is one elite clique, made up of people in the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, along with the Bilderberger Group that controls both major political parties and so they, in the end, get to decide who will run for both parties. This means that there is hardly any meaningful difference between the candidates for both parties. The differences are purely cosmetic--just enough to fool the average voter into thinking there is a major difference where none really exists. Do you begin to realize now why these people could not, under any circumstances, allow Ron Paul to get anywhere near the White House, no matter what they had to do to prevent him? He was truly the odd man out when it came to the political game in Washington--he was honest--and no honest man gets into the White House anymore because he might upset the apple cart of our ruling elite and shoot down their agenda, so that can't happen.
Goldwater was the last man to do that in 1964 and they had to stop him at all costs. They did. George Wallace caused them some problem in 1968 when he won five states in the South, but it wasn't enough to derail them. Wallace was a big speed bump in their road and so they made sure that when he ran as a Democrat in 1972 that he was cleared out of the road. After that it was smooth sailing until now and to the One World Government people it doesn't really make any difference which party resides in the White House. Since they control both parties they get their agenda enacted either way. The rhetoric may vary from party to party but that's all that does.
I can't verify whether it is totally accurate or not, but some sources I have seen have stated that it's already been decided that Hitlery, er, I mean Hillary, will be the next president. If this is so it means that our election process has become nothing more than an One World Government-orchestrated charade. After all, as Stalin is reported to have said "It isn't who votes, but who counts the votes." In the last election there were places where Obama was reported to have gotten 140% of the vote. In other areas he only got 100% of the vote. You mean to tell me there were places in the country, mostly in the North, where there was not a single Romney voter? And how do you get 140% of the vote anywhere? Yet, with all this foolishness, the Republican Party never once issued a complaint. They were quieter than church mice. That means that the folks that run the party were satisfied with the outcome. Romney was a weak sister, as was McCain before him. Both were only put up there because the Republican Party had to have someone to run against Obama, who everyone in the know in both parties knew was going to win anyway.
The only way your vote really counts anymore is if you are a dead Democrat in Chicago, or in Gary, Indiana--and then your vote counts, and counts, and counts. The motto in those two cities is "vote early and vote often." Maybe that's how Obama got his 140%!
Frankly, we are wasting our time playing around with presidential politics because the real establishment candidate is going to win anyway, no matter which party he belongs to. Seems we'd be better off trying to elect some honest folks at the local level and the county and parish level and then working to make sure they stayed honest, because the power inherent in government will corrupt.
Who really cares which CFR/Trilateral candidate occupies the White House? You get the same One World Government agenda either way. But if you can elect some honest, principled people for local offices and they are willing to stay with it then you might start to make a difference in a couple generations. That may sound long term to some folks, but let's face it, what we are doing now ain't working--except in favor of the One World folks. Something to think about.

Conservatives, New York's Commissar Cuomo Doesn't Like You
by Al Benson Jr.
According to http://www.theblaze.com the head commissar of New York has no use for conservatives, at least not real ones. He said, in a radio interview that if: "extreme conservatives are right-to-life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay, then they have no place in the state of New York, because that's not who New Yorkers are."
I could have gone to The Blaze website and listened to Commissar Cuomo's collectivist diatribe, but I thought, why bother? I've heard it all before from the lips of other "progressive" socialists and Marxists, including the one presently residing in the White (Red) House, and no matter how they say it, somehow it all sounds the same--we need the federal or state government to remove all our liberties so they can "protect" us from all those nasty right-wing "extremists"--you know, those horrible home schoolers, those fanatics who support the Second Amendment to the Constitution, those bigots who dare to believe the Bible, those terrible people who are opposed to murdering unborn children--they're all extremists that the Amerikan people must be protected from, and especially the Amerikan public must be protected from their ideas, their worldview, so that the theories of Marx and other progressive socialists can be embraced.
I wonder how many of the inhabitants of New York state fit into the catagory of those that Commissar Cuomo feels have no place in his state. Maybe he expects them to move on out or move on over into Pennsylvania or New Jersey. He sure doesn't want those extremists in HIS state.
Why if you're against murdering unborn babies and in favor of protecting your Second Amendment rights or a Christian that takes a dim view of sodomy Commissar Cuomo just doesn't want you around. He's quite plain about that.
However if you are a "moderate" conservative then he may be persuaded to tolerate you, provided you either totally agree with his agenda or just keep your mouth shut. Let's define what he means by "moderate" conservative. It's someone that is basically willing to go along with his socialist agenda just like many of the so-called Republicans in Congress are willing to go along with Comrade Obama's agenda. Oh, they have to pretend they don't want to, but if the truth were known, many of them really love what he's doing. They just can't publicly agree with him, at least not until after the next election, lest they find themselves voted out of office and no longer able to feed at the public trough.
As obnoxious as Commissar Cuomo is, at least he's honest. He has no problem with killing unborn kids or of depriving you of your Second Amendment rights or of giving full approval to a sexually-deviant lifestyle. He believes in all these things. They are part and parcel of this personal theology. They reflect where he is at and he admits it.
Needless to say, I totally disagree with him on all these issues. True biblical theology militates against all these positions that Commissar Cuomo has taken and I am sure he realizes that fact and just doesn't give a hoot, although, again, he'd never say that in an election year. There must be enough folks in New York that go along with him or he would not have gotten elected to be head commissar (governor). Of course maybe it was a case of who counted the votes there too.
Cuomo has no problem with "moderate" Republicans that are consistently passing or promoting his agenda. If that's the kind of Republicans they have in New York, then who needs 'em?
Commissar Cuomo is the consummate Yankee/Marxist. I wouldn't live in his state if they paid me to. I grew up right next door, in Soviet Massachusetts. That was bad enough. Commissar Cuomo's "progressive paradise" in New York sounds even worse. With this Marxist mindset permeating the Northeast, you have to know why I live in Louisiana.

Television is Dying--and who's gonna miss it?
by Al Benson Jr.
I remember when I spent 33 days in the hospital back in 2007. You can only read just so much and so you turn on the television just to get a little variety. A wasted effort for the most part. If I was fortunate enough to come across a channel that had some old western movies on it I was okay for awhile. If all I could get were the usual weekly shows I'd shut it off after about ten minutes. The tv dialogue was absolutely mind-numbing. You know you are in trouble when the commercials are more entertaining than the show you were watching. Decades ago, television was actually entertaining, even though there was a certain amount of propaganda even back then. Comedy still made you laugh. Nowadays it makes you retch. Every joke today has a double meaning and with many of the public television channels the promotion of the sodomite agenda is so transparent even the naive are not fooled anymore.
Just picture in your mind, a tv "news" analyst with a sheaf of papers in his hand stating: "This just in--Americans are not falling for our bovine fertilizer anymore."
There was a very good article on http://chasvoice.blogspot.com for January 11th reproducing an editorial by Anthony Wile. Mr. Wile stated: "Variety commented just yesterday on 'CNN Eyes Primetime Shake-Up." Wile continued: "In fact, an end-of-year memo from CNN president Jeff Zucker reemphasized what CNN would become: 'The goal for the next six months, is that we need more shows and less newscasts'."
Seems if I recall correctly, the original purpose of CNN was for it to broadcast news, not entertainment. Seems that CNN's ratings for the end of 2013 took a significant dip. Fox News (not nearly as conservative as it used to be) still chalked up about 1.78 million viewers for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with 477,000 for CNN.
Wile makes an interesting comment about CNN when he says: "Like all the major networks, CNN reports on Western society's prevailing structure and hierarchy without challenging it in any significant way. This lack of significant opposition is no doubt a significant reason for CNN's failure. It is a creature of the power structure it purports to observe, and this is increasingly evident to viewers." In other words, CNN's left-of-center biases are starting to slip and the public is starting to notice. People are beginning to realize they are getting managed news. The time will come when this will begin to show up for other networks also. CNN is only the first.
More people are learning to get their news off the Internet and there are lots of good, conservative, patriotic sites out there once you learn how to look for them. Someone who is willing to "hunt and peck" for the truth on the Internet need never turn on the television and accept the drivel that passes for news there again.
So unplug the television and don't waste anymore money on pricey cable packages. With the coming price of Obamacare you won't be able to afford to watch it anyway. Who needs to sit mesmerized in front of the tube while a political huckster tells you, with a smile on his face, that "if you like your present insurance plan you can keep it." Start hunting for alternative news sources and start getting some truth.
One place I'd suggest checking out is the Charleston Voice blog spot. It carries material on it that the managed "news" media wouldn't pass along to you if your life depended on it. Don't forget the address: http://chasvoice.blogspot.com

When Knockouts Became a Hate Crime
by Al Benson Jr.
For some months now I have been reading articles on the Internet about how black teens and some older have been playing this "knockdown" game on white folks.
The way it works is that a group of black young people walk by a lone white man or woman and one of them punches or hits the white person hard enough that they fall down and are knocked unconscious. Several white people have been severely injured by this but the blacks claim "it's just a game." Some game! A black young person knocks down an elderly white person so he or she is injured, in some cases severely, and it's "just a game." And it's interesting that most of these gangs of blacks do seem to go after older white folks. I guess, maybe, that proves they are cowards at heart. They seldom pick on someone in their 20s or 30s but seem to prefer older folks. I suppose the rationale is that the older folks can't fight back and so that makes them easier pickings. Kind of like these people that kill others with weapons in "gun free" zones where there is small chance anyone will shoot back. They're cowards, too, even the ones that are part of false flag events.
In a couple instances I read about the older person that got knocked down had a weapon and they shot at their assailants. One lady shot and killed one and wounded another. That sort of activity tends to put a bit of a damper on the "game atmosphere" of the knockdown. If the perpetrator of the knockdown doesn't know if he might get shot for his efforts then it gets to where it's not quite so much fun anymore.
In all of these that I read about the possibility of this being a hate crime because the black youths always picked on white people was never mentioned. That was ignored. "Nothing to see here, folks, just move along." Besides, a few years ago, some hair-brained college professor back east said that blacks couldn't be racist anyway because they didn't have the "power" to be racists--only white folks had that. I don't know where he got his information or what he had been smoking, but whatever it was it must have been pretty potent stuff for him to come out with an idiotic statement like that. However, such inane rationale is probably enough to insure his tenure at the school he supposedly teaches at for life.
I just read today, though, that finally, the knockdown game is going to be considered a hate crime--because a white man did it to a black person. Now it's a hate crime of major proportions and it made the "news" media sit up and take notice because now its white on black crime rather than black on white crime--which is usually way beneath notice. I expect our famous "Department of Justice" in Washington will try to find some way to prosecute this white guy. This is the same Department of Justice that ignores Black Panthers standing with billy clubs at polling places in Philadelphia in order to "encourage" white voters not to bother voting. But, hey, that's okay, just like its okay when blacks commit crimes against whites. It's just not okay when white do the same against blacks. Our Department of Justice seems to operate on the "heads I win, tails you lose" premise" or better yet, on the Animal Farm premise--all the animals in the barnyard are equal but some are more equal than others.
So, folks, if you want to make sure the knockout game gets to the status of a hate crime you have to make sure that a white guy does it. Otherwise it will never reach that status--in fact, in most cases, it will be almost totally ignored. The Obama administration promised Amerika "transparency" folks, so lots of "useful idiots" voted for Obama so they could experience the new transparency. How do you like it?

Mandela Is Dead--Long Live the Propaganda
by Al Benson Jr.
Well, Nelson Mandela, Communist thug par excellence has finally come to his eternal reward. For anyone with a strong enough stomach to have endured all the bovine fertilizer spread around by the (pardon me if I laugh) "news" media, if the whole episode has caused you to view what passes for news with a jaundiced eye, then you will have learned something.
Mandela, according to many sources, participated in over 150 acts of terrorism during his rather checkered career. An article appeared on http://www.lewrockwell.com a couple days ago which dealt with where Mandela was really coming from. It was written by Alex Newman for The New American. Newman said: "Shortly after the death of South African revolutionary Nelson Mandela, the South African Communist Party and the African National Congress both released official statements acknowledging what was already well-known among experts: 'Comrade' Mandela was indeed a Communist Party Leader who served on the Soviet-backed organization's Central Committee...not only was the confessed terror leader a senior official on the South African Communist Party's highest decision-making body, he was actually close to the outfit until his death."
This is the man that our "news" media sought to portray as a virtual reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and to do that they simply had to bury as much of the truth as possible so that the gullible in this country would have no clue. So his years of terrorist activity were simply ignored and he was presented as one of the greatest "freedom fighters" of all time. This is the man that Comrade Obama wanted all the flags in this country lowered to half staff to commemorate. He was a Communist and Obama is a Marxist. Undoubtedly, for Obama, this Communist thug was the George Washington of all Africa.
His record of terrorism, as well as that of his wife, Winnie Mandela, will simply be swept under the rug, or shoved down the "memory hole." He will be portrayed as the "saviour" of South Africa--the deliverer of the poor and downtrodden, and by the time you wade through all this bilge you will need a barf bag of gigantic proportions. If you really want to find out what this man was all about look up his wife on the Internet. Do a Google search on "Winnie Mandela and necklacing in South Africa." Just don't read what you find before supper.
Problem is, how many will be willing to do a little homework to find out the truth? Or will it just be easier to swallow the media hogwash and continue to be a compliant prole?

Things Are Looking Up In Selma, Alabama
by Al Benson Jr.
Back in September of 2012 I wrote two or three articles about a situation in Selma, Alabama where black domestic terrorists were trying to prevent a bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest from being put up in Live Oak Cemetery in an area called Confederate Circle. There was a big fuss over who owned the land in Confederate Circle. The United Daughters of the Confederacy noted the land had been deeded to them back in the 1880s, although there seemed to be a problem locating a copy of the deed. The local black civil rights terrorists refused to believe this and so trespassed on what would later, by court order, be deemed as the property of the UDC and they just flat out stopped the construction work, threatening to call in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, who would, naturally, conduct a big march and demonstration which would be geared to stop any future work on the Forrest monument--with the "news" media naturally playing right along with them as they usually do.
The local UDC folks, no doubt having been labeled with the favorite Trotskyite term "racist" were all supposed to silently submit to the racial blackmail and retreat in silence.
It didn't quite work that way. The company that was doing the work on the monument, KTK Mining and the UDC took it to court and sued the City of Selma for refusing to protect their rights. Even though it's been well over a year now (so much for speedy trials) the City of Selma must, somewhere along the line, have realized that if it went to trial they would not win, and so they accepted a settlement put forth by KTK Mining for $100,000.
According to http://www.selmatimesjournal.com for November 26, 2013 we are told: "In a 5-3 vote, the Selma City Council voted to approve a settlement in a lawsuit over a monument to Confederate general and former Ku Klux Klan leader Nathan Bedford Forrect, effectively ending the suit.The settlement terms include giving a deed to the one-acre tract of land containing the monument in Old Live Oak Cemetery to Chapter 53 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy." The council president voted in favor of this, along with four other members and said it was time for the city to move forward and focus on more important issues.
However, that decision was not enough for the local civil rights terrorists, one of which, Rose Sanders, also known as Faya Rose Toure, (interesting how these black radicals, like Obama, always seem to have more than one name) managed to get herself arrested for disorderly conduct at the city council meeting. But then, this is so typical of leftist radicals. If they can't get their way they attempt to disrupt everything so that nothing can be accomplished unless everyone is willing to give in to their radical agenda. This time it didn't work. That must have been a real blow to the fragile ego of Ms. Sanders/Toure. Shouting everyone down has always worked before--this time it didn't. How sad--for her, not for the rest of the folks there.
Even though KTK Mining has the right to go on with finishing construction of the Forrest Monument, I expect there will be all manner of nit-picky things the domestic terrorists will come up with to hamper the work and if nothing else works they will resort to outright vandalism. It wouldn't be the first time.
But, for now, things are looking up in Selma. The defenders of the Confederacy finally won one, which is welcome news, because, lets face it folks, between the government, the "news" media and the dedicated leftists of various hues, we don't win too many. Thank the Lord for this victory--and strive to remain vigilant because the battle is probably not over yet.
