Liberty Flags of our Fathers--The Bonnie Blue Flag

 by Al Benson Jr.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Beware the Ides of March"

The article below was posted on https://www.infowars.com on January 18th.

Political strategist Roger Stone says the deep state is planning to remove both President Trump and VP Mike Pence from office so that they can install Nancy Pelosi as President as part of a coup that will eventually see Hillary Clinton return as President.

"The deep state seeks to fabricate some misdeed by the Trump campaign that is sold as Russian collusion" said Stone.

"That way they can remove both Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, paving the way for Nancy Pelosi to become president."

Pelosi will then appoint Hillary Clinton  to the vacant Vice-Presidency after which Pelosi would resign as president allowing Hillary to take the White House which alluded her grasp in 2016."

Trump and Pelosi are currently locked in a stand off over the government shut down.

Yesterday, Trump pulled a power move by blocking Pelosi's trip to Brussels and Afghanistan by halting her use of military aircraft.

This followed Pelosi's demand that Trump postpone his State of the Union address--scheduled for January 29th--or simply put it in writing.

Comment--If they are able to pull this off and Mr. Trump fails to aggressively respond then they will have, to all intents and purposes, rendered the 2016 election null and void and if that happens then it remains to be seen what Mr. Trump's supporters across the country will do and how they will respond to having the deep state and its slimy operatives steal the last presidential election. If such does occur we will know for sure that the rule of law in this country is a cruel charade and that might makes right--no matter how totally corrupt and sleazy that "might" is. We need to really pray that the Lord will put a stop to this travesty, and, if for some reason He does not, then we will know that judgment has seriously begun and it will have begun at the House of God.

How About Repudiating Obama's National Emergency Decrees?

by Al Benson Jr.

Member, Board of Directors, Confederate Society of America

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trump All Alone at Christmas

by Al Benson Jr.

Mr. Trump tweeted sometime today about being all alone on Christmas Eve tweeting messages to promote his America first agenda. He was being humorous when he did it, but as you watch the Swamp Creatures in that gigantic, corrupt ooze that we refer to as Washington, I really wonder if Mr. Trump realizes just how alone he really is in that bucket of political slime.

There is almost no one in Washington that wants to see his agenda, work out,  even though it will benefit the average American. Most of the Washington slime balls hate Trump so much they would gladly trash the country and its people just to take Trump down--and this includes lots of our "elected" representatives--which fact amply demonstrates that they don't really care about their constituents back home. We only exist to pay their fat salaries and make sure, with those fat-cat salaries, they have enough time to work at subverting the country.

The Demoncrats have already shown us that they will do anything to promote open borders and deep six  real border security. Their total allegiance is to the Deep State--the CFR/Trilateral/Bilderberg cabal and the military/industrial warmongers. These are their gods and these are who they serve and worship, along with lots of lying Republicans.

The real friends Trump has in Washington consist of a couple senators, a handful of House members and maybe some in the military that can't say or do much of anything without fear of being punished. Mr. Trump has  people in his own family circle that support the agenda of his adversaries--like the Bible says--"A man's foes shall be they of his own house."

I hope Mr. Trump, at this point, realizes just how alone with his agenda he really is. If he does, I pray that he will seriously ask for and seek Divine Guidance as to just what he needs to do to defeat those that are trying to take him down.

Mr. Trump, like all of us, is a flawed human being and needs the Lord's help to do what he needs to do. I can understand Rand Paul's statement, made several months ago, where he said he wakes up every morning and thanks God we got Trump instead of St. Hillary for president. Had we gotten her, the country, for all intents and purposes, would be gone by now.

Maybe we should all do the same--thank God we got Trump when we really, for our sins, deserved Hillary! And maybe we should start praying that the Lord will guide and help Mr. Trump to know how he ought to proceed and that the Lord will give him some patriotic people who will help him promote his agenda instead of these leftist neo-cons who get into important positions and then use them to destroy the country.

I just read an article on Breitbart this afternoon where James (the truthful one) Comey made the statement that "There's no deep state." Here's a worthy individual who has been caught lying under  oath how many times, and he sits there with a smug smirk on his puss and blithely informs us that the deep state does not exist! Does he really think we are all that stupid? Or is he so used to prevarication that he doesn't give a tinker's damn? Anyone believing this guy or any of his buddies that are all part of the Deep State, deserves to be fooled! He's about as honest as Honest Abe was.

Let's face it, the American people have been getting lied to for over 150 years now. Maybe its time we woke up, got our kids out of those brain laundries we call public schools and quit believing the fake news media and started finding our for ourselves what's really going on. I guarantee, if you are willing to do that you won't like what you find.
