Many who will read this are already aware of how our current crop of "historians"--so called, view the War of Northern Aggression. However, some who read it may not be all that aware, and so this is written for those unaware ones who still labor under the naive delusion that the War was fought over slavery and that communism did not rear its ugly head in America until at least the 1930s. Well, it did rear its ugly head in the 30s, but it was the 1830s, not the 1930s. By the 1930s communism was already well established here. It's just that no one bothered to inform the American public.
I spend considerable time on the internet scrounging around for information in those areas that concern me and one of those areas is the record of communist and socialist infiltration in this country, both in the 19th and 20 centuries.
I recently ran across an article by Andrew Zimmerman, a professor of history at George Washington University. The article was written back in July of 2013 and, at that time, Professor Zimmerman was working on an international history of the American War of Northern Aggression. Of course he didn't call it that.
For the remainder of this article please go to my other blogspot

The above link probably will not work for you so you will have to type it in to get it. I am having problems with my email server and so cannot connect with everyone on my email lists. Of late I have been going to the local library and using their computers but we had a little over an inch of snow here in North Louisiana yesterday morning and that was enough to shut everything down--schools, banks, the library, the whole nine yards--and the library is still not open today so I can't get in to send this to my list from my Revised History blog. There are a handful of folks following this blog that also follow my Revised History blog and I am asking them to please forward this or the link to my Revised History blog along to folks on their email lists so I can get it out there because, at this point, I do not know when my email server problems will be straightened out--or for that matter, when the local library will reopen. I hope it will be sometime in this decade but I have no guarantees. So if folks on this list who can will pass the link to my Revised History blog along to others I will be very grateful. Many thanks in advance.

If You Are Still Here Maybe We Should Boycott You
Our two political commentators have been watching all these media people that have howled about leaving the country if Trump was elected president. They have a couple questions for the folks doing the howling which I think are fair questions. Just don't hold your breath waiting for answers.

If you are still here then maybe we should boycott you
by Schwartz & Viscount
One thing we have noticed since just before the recent presidential election is the amazing number of Hollywood "personalities" that claimed that if Donald Trump was elected president they were moving to another country. It sounded so dramatic when you all said it that we have wondered, since the election is now over and Mr. Trump won, just how many of you have left? We have seen nothing in the "news" media anywhere about any of you having departed the scene, and our intrepid "news" media would definitely have taken note of any of you that left for parts unknown, just to give you credit for fulfilling your threat.
That being the case, the question arises--Why are you all still here? Why have you not booked passage for one of the socialist utopias you all profess to love so much and that you claim are so much better than this country with Trump as president?
We are left with the conclusion that you never really intended to leave to start with--that your braggadocio was just your painless way of expressing your contempt for Mr. Trump because, in your narrow perception, you viewed him as some sort of a "right-winger" and you wanted to issue a political statement that sounded good but really didn't cost you anything. In other words, to put it politely you are a bunch of frauds! But, then, from the political and cultural Left, we would expect nothing else. Bombast and fraud!
You have the good life here and don't really plan on giving it up and moving to someplace less comfortable no matter the pompous statements you issue to the contrary. No wonder some of you do so well in the movies. You are all just actors playing parts--on the screen or off.
So it seems that the vast majority of you, instead of buying plane tickets to Hanoi or Peking, have decided to stay here and content yourselves with issuing incendiary statements.
We have heard about comments from Gloria Steinham, the supposed Women's Rights advocate and Abortion Promoter, along with Exhibitionist "Madonna" and so-called performer of "Burlesque-like" performances, both of which have degraded decency in this country, all in the name of women's choice. Madonna uttered, among other remarks, some about "blowing up the White House. The comments of these people are among the more bizarre and ridiculous uncivil statements of many entertainers.
Well, here are our thoughts about such low class and Un-Christian behavior. We think it's a good idea to Boycott them and all those with similar attitudes. Let's see what would happen if conservatives and Christians (and their friends) completely boycott all of their movies, videos, recordings and performances to the fullest extent. Actually these people and their lowbrow, nearly pornographic behaviors play right into the hands of those Muslims who are offended by their displays of indecency and may even contribute to the inexcusable and outright flagrant public group raping of women "in the name of Allah, and ridiculous Jihad and Sharia-like rights."
And this is not just hearsay. It has been happening all over the world, due to basic indecency and immodesty, which is part of the reason Muslims claim to have no respect for Americans, especially women.
Furthermore, the utter stupidity of most American TV "sitcoms" make people all around the world think that ALL Americans are "stupid fools" just like those they see on American networkds. There is some programming out there that required intelligence, but such programs are few and far between.
There are rumors that a Trump administration might be considering slashing federal funding to entities like National Public Radio and others that take federal funds. That might not be a bad idea, because it is a known fact that "he who pays the piper calls the tune." That might be a big step in getting the federal government out of the propaganda business.
There is also information out there on several websites about the Chinese Communists buying up movie studios in Hollywood. One of the best articles was on http://www.thenewamerican.com for November 3, 2016. There is another good one on http://www.judicialwatch.org for the same date. And if you are interested in Leftist influence on television we would recommend a book that came out several years ago called The Left Leaning Antenna. You might check and see if you can still find it on Amazon.

Atheists Blow It Again In Lake Worth, Florida
by Al Benson Jr.
I'm sure by now many of you all have read, if you follow the Internet, about the city council meeting in Lake Worth, Florida back at the end of last year where an atheist gave the "invocation" before the start of the meeting. Since invocations are usually given to Almighty God asking for His blessing on the meeting, you have to wonder what this atheist who doesn't believe in God was doing there. Usually those who give invocations at meetings are invited to come and do so. Who invited this worthy to come and spread his particular brand of venom at this meeting? That would be interesting to find out. Who invited this guy and why? Was he part of someone's agenda or what? In fact, the whole thing seems almost ludicrous--having an atheist give an invocation to a God he professes not to believe in. So who was he invoking?
Well, it turns out that he "invoked" lots of false deities--Satan, the "wanna be" god, Zeus, Buddha, Krishna, and then he gave thanks for the "one in five Americans" who are "atheists, agnostics, and non-religious." I kid you not, this was all in his "prayer" if you can call it that. It was really more of an anti-God rant than it was a prayer. One has to wonder who they will have to give the invocation at the next city council meeting in Lake Worth--Howdy Doody or the three stooges!
His "prayer" was so insensitive that the mayor and three city commissioners got up and left the chambers before he started. One commissioner stayed. Was he the one that invited this guy? I guess we'll never know. The one commissioner that stayed said later that: Walking out was "very un-American and a slap in the face to the principles people fought very hard to make sure we had those rights." The atheist later said he didn't believe in Satan but just wanted to show us home folks how silly it is to pray in city hall. And he stated, before the prayer, that "Our collective atheism--which is to say, loving empathy, scientific evidence, and critical thinking--leads us to believe that we can create a better, more equal community without religious divisions." Is he then advocating a One World Religion where all such ":deities" are created equal?
As for his "collective atheism, critical thinking, and scientific evidence" in a non-religious world, that's nothing new. That's already been tried. Anyone remember the French Revolution. Lots of "loving empathy" in the form of the guillotine and the Reign of Terror. They wanted to get rid of God and we ended up with Napoleon. Wasn't much of a trade off. Then the Bolsheviks tried again in Russia in 1917. Same game--get rid of God, persecute the church, or try to render it neutral just as they are doing in this country now--and we got International Communism--with the help of some New York millionaires.
I've known a couple atheists in my life. Happy, helpful, extroverted people they ain't! In fact, they're usually pretty miserable. In fact, I can't help but think that the atheists really, in their heart of hearts, believe in God, but they want to replace Him with themselves--just like Satan did. So they spread their rather pathetic little tales about His non-existence while all the while trying to climb the ladder so they can grasp the throne.
Psalm 14:1 says "The FOOL hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works..." And Psalm 2 pretty much sums it up in verses 2-4: "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision." I would imagine, in the atheist mindset, such truths really cause "weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth" and so they have to work to try to dispense with this kind of truth--water down church doctrine, regulate the Internet, get churches to become dependent on 501c3--whatever it takes.
Those people are really at war with the God they profess not to believe in--the Trinitarian God of Holy Scripture, only they don't want anyone to realize that. It's too bad, at this point, that more Christians don't realize it. If more Christians in the Lake Worth area had realized that they might have showed up at that city council meeting to protest this atheist's war against the God of Scripture.

Dumbing Them Down For the New World Order
by Al Benson Jr.
Today I watched a You Tube video where a young lady interviewed several college students about basic history questions that most of us knew the answers to when we were in the fifth grade--and most of these college students didn't have a clue, not the remotest clue as to the correct answers. And these were kids that were studying business administration and other like subjects. They weren't just there for the ride, or to find a husband or wife. They were going into professional careers when they got out of school (if there are any professions left when our current regime gets through).
The first question the interviewer asked was "Who won the Civil War?" Would you believe nine out of ten of them got that wrong. One young lady and one young black man both said "the South." One other one said "America." The rest just had no answer whatever. Not a clue! One young lady said "the North." So out of about ten students, one got it right.
Another question she asked was when the American Revolution ended. One kid questioningly said "1977?" But she wasn't sure. Another one said "1644." Again, for the rest, not the remotest clue.
She then asked them who was the current vice-president of the United States. One out of the bunch answered "Joe Biden" but the rest were totally dumbfounded. This is the generation that is supposed to have voted overwhelmingly for Obama in the last election. Now I will admit that Joe Biden, outside of sticking his foot in his mouth, is not the most charismatic vice-president this country has ever had, but at least the kids ought to know his name--shouldn't they?
If this is what you get from college kids it does make you wonder what their history teachers were doing during their high school years. I guess lots of history teachers were taking their paychecks under false pretenses. But, then, understanding the history of the public school system, that should be no surprise. Now I don't doubt that there are probably history teachers in public schools that do try to teach history, I've known a couple. But then you have to ask what the public school history teachers are being taught. Obviously none of the kids in these interviews ever had any dedicated history teachers for a history class.
One interesting point, though, toward the end of the interview the young lady conducting it asked them several questions about the current pop culture, like who was Brad Pitts current wife--and they all, without exception, knew the answer to that one.
Folks, this is the next generation that will be called on the run the country, or rather they will be called on to vote for the One World Government crowd that will run the country--and they will do that, because they don't know upside down from inside out. You can't tell me these kids are that dumb accidentally. There has to be design to their ignorance.
Unless we can, somehow, raise up enough Christian and home schooled kids to begin to counter this planned ignorance then we face, at least for the foreseeable future, a pretty bleak outlook. All the more reason for concerned parents to seriously start looking at options other than public schools for educating their kids. Parents, especially Christian parents, really need to start checking out these other options--and they are out there if you are willing to take the time and trouble to check them out.
