“So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interests of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this, as regards Virginia especially, that I would cheerfully have lost all I have lost by the war, and have suffered all I have suffered, to have this object attained.” -Statement to John Leyburn (1 May 1870), as quoted in R. E. Lee: A Biography (1934) by Douglas Southall Freeman. On this day, 9 April in 1865, the Lincolnian project to enslave the entire nation under the yoke of Union supremacy, central planning and a country administered by national political fiat and the naked fist of government aggression prevailed. The South and the Confederacy for all it flaws died at Appomattox. Lee is often erroneously quoted as saying the following: “Governor, if I had foreseen the use those people designed to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me. Had I foreseen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in my right hand. Supposed made to Governor Fletcher S. Stockdale (September 1870), as quoted in The Life and Letters of Robert Lewis Dabney, pp. 497-500.” No lesser literary luminaries and historians have said this is false than Douglas Southall Freeman, Shelby Dade Foote, Jr. and Bruce Catton. This appears to be historical myth-making by Mr. Dabney. My casual research and interest in Lee find this simply does not fit in his character; now there were certainly Confederate worthies who professed such sympathies. Lee is certainly one of the greatest captains of arms in the history of the West. A far more competent and talented warrior than the base incompetency and abject martial malpractice of George Washington; he joins the ranks of Douglas Haig (WWI) and Pompey (Rome) for an exaggerated sense of warrior skills untethered to reality. Lee was at the forefront of a Confederate high tide that was destroyed by the Gettysburg debacle and worsening political travails in the South as Davis tried to emulate the Sovietized system of the Union to salvage a victory. At least the South fought to fight a just war in defending their own soil from invasion. I am amused at Union apologists who claim that the South fired the first shot at Fort Sumter. Let me employ a tortured analogy; you buy a house and the owners refuse to vacate and bring friends with guns to ensure you can’t possession of your rightful property. Such was the case in Sumter where the Fort commanded the entry and exit to richest transportation hub in the south employing constant threats against the indigenous community it sat in the middle of. The War Between the States was a Second American Revolution, the last gasp of trying to unshackle the nation from the Constitutional straitjacket that extinguished liberty at every turn. Alexander Stephens, the Vice president of the Confederacy had other ideas. He is no hero of abolition nor a moral man in regards the disposition of humans in chains: “Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.” Lincoln claimed this was his only disagreement with Stephens but the curious ability of Lincoln to free all slaves outside his legal jurisdiction and maintain it within his control regime. Historian Clarence Carson has astutely commented: “It should be noted, however, that as of the moment it was issued and to the best of Lincoln’s knowledge, the proclamation did not free a single slave. It did not free a slave in Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, West Virginia, nor in any state or portions of a state within the Confederacy occupied by Union troops…In short, Lincoln freed only those slaves over which he had no control. No doubt that was by design.” As Al Benson Jr. notes: “What it amounted to was, that, as an effective propaganda tool, the proclamation freed only those slaves that the North had no jurisdiction over and it didn’t free any slaves over which the North had some jurisdiction.” Author Webb Garrison, a former dean of Emory University noted that: “…the Emancipation Proclamation was a war measure – not an edict issued in a dramatic move to better the lives of blacks. No one knew this better than the author of the proclamation. Nine months after it was issued, he told Salmon P. Chase ‘The original proclamation has no constitutional or legal justification except as a military measure’.” There was no major politician except Charles Sumner on either side interested in the least in emancipation much less abolition of black chattel slavery. Sumner would famously ask Lincoln: “Do you know who is at this moment the largest slaveholder in the United States?” Sumner informed Lincoln that he was the largest slaveholder because the President “holds all the slaves of the District of Columbia.” This ended on paper in 1862. This war was about slavery but not in the commonly held beliefs that permeate the nonsense about the conflict in the government school systems. This war was about the Union grasp at codifying a new kind of slavery just as awful as chattel or indentured servitude. The object was to chain tax cattle to a regime that could rob them at will and ultimately using every power at its disposal to drain a person’s resources and at worst cage and murder them when it saw fit. The essential result of the horrific conflict was to out everyone on the plantation under any Constitutionally protected” territory or state. Go guerrilla indeed, what would the future have wrought? Poster Comment: "The birth of Empire. Not a damned living soul has lived under the Constitution as it was intended in 1787-1791 – or at least as it was said to be intended."

Great package, Grey. wicked pedia tells an opposite story on Sam Hall, quite possibly a lying one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Hall_(diver) It now seems we were wrong about Nicaragua the whole time, but I would have fully agreed with Sam's anti-communism back then ('80s and early '90s). Even the "good" impulses of a spoiled rich country like ours end up causing nothing but trouble half the time! Ha, "Arvo Kustaa Halberg" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gus_Hall

Apologies if the Sam Hall in my post wasn't a Communist and I mistakenly confused him with the one below of the same name but from a different State.

Of course! I wondered if there was another political Sam Hall in the mix.
I tried to check if Communist Sam Hall was a relative of Gus Hall's but the name Sam associated with his in websearch results is Sam Webb, who was his successor. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col.

Don't forget about the first person of their unholy trinity: Abraham Lincoln. For several years, 4 of every 5 editions were dedicated at least in part to exalting that mass murderer. Then a couple of years ago they switched over to Reagan/Churchill idolatry, and I thought that perhaps their formerly incessant philosiminianism was only a case of temporary monkey love. But the latest issue (March 2015) disabused me of that foolish notion, and it appears that they were only recoiling a little that they might strike the better. Lincoln is again the Supreme One, from whose mouth and pen flow rivers of wisdom and righteousness. The ape and/or his memorial are mentioned 16 times. And in the spirit of trinitarian propriety, Churchill and Reagan also garner a couple of mentions each. Oh, and the statue of liberty -- "the greatest light since the Star of Bethlehem." Have a five gallon emetic bucket handy when you read it, especially the last two sentences: ".. the moral regeneration of America that (Frank) Capra had hoped to bring about will require more than a Capra. It will require a Lincoln."
Whew, Strait, that's the limit!!! You've trumped them all in exposing perfervid Lincolnolatry! I see it here -- thanks https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/frank-capras-america-and-ours/ I was overwhelmed by Mr. Smith Goes to Washington seeing it as a teenager and wrote the director. Would be afraid to look at it now. He was both extremely right about the American ideal and drastically wrong about amerikan reality even then. Uggghhhh...... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_We_Fight Well! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Capra#Political_beliefs Every man has his price, huh.... I see Mr. Smith was released 10/17/39, ironically enough a few weeks after America declared its WW2 neutrality and a few days before the "First meeting of the U.S. Advisory Committee on Uranium under Lyman James Briggs, authorized by President Roosevelt to oversee neutron experiments, a precursor of the Manhattan Project." Yes I'll readily opine we never should have messed with nukes. Never! Just another way we've led the world into more instead of less misery and death. OK, somebody, hit me with your best shot. Fire away.

Never! Just another way we've led the world into more instead of less misery and death. Thank you for posting that important info. Here's some data confirmations: Lyman James Briggs - Wikipedia In 1939, President Franklin Roosevelt called on Briggs, by then aged 65, to head "The Uranium Committee", a secret project to investigate the atomic fission of uranium progress was slow and was not directed exclusively towards military applications. Eugene Wigner said that "We often felt we were swimming in syrup". Boris Pregel said "It is wonder that after so many blunders and mistakes anything was accomplished at all". Leó Szilárd believed that the project was delayed for a least a year by the short-sightedness and sluggishness of the authorities. At the time Briggs ... was unable to take the energetic action that was often needed. Britain was at war and felt an atomic bomb should have the highest priority, especially because the Germans might soon have one; but the US was not at war at that time and many Americans did not want to get involved. One of the members of the MAUD Committee, Marcus Oliphant flew to the United States in late August 1941 in an unheated bomber to find out why the United States was ignoring the MAUD Committee's findings. Oliphant said that: "The minutes and reports had been sent to Lyman Briggs, who was the Director of the Uranium Committee, and we were puzzled to receive virtually no comment. I called on Briggs in Washington, only to find out that this inarticulate and unimpressive man had put the reports in his safe and had not shown them to members of his committee. I was amazed and distressed." Oliphant then met the whole Uranium Committee. Samuel K. Allison was a new committee member, "Oliphant came to a meeting", Allison recalls, "and said 'bomb' in no uncertain terms. He told us we must concentrate every effort on the bomb and said we had no right to work on power plants or anything but the bomb. The bomb would cost 25 million dollars, he said, and Britain did not have the money or the manpower, so it was up to us." Allison was surprised that Briggs had kept the committee in the dark. Oliphant visited other physicists to galvanise the USA into action. As a result, in December 1941 Vannevar Bush, director of the powerful Office of Scientific Research and Development, undertook to launch a full-scale effort to develop atomic bombs. As the scale of the project became clearer, it came under direct military control as the Manhattan Project. MAUD Committee - Wikipedia S-1 Uranium Committee - Wikipedia World War II began with the German invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, prompting Albert Einstein and Leó Szilárd to complete a letter to U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt they had been working on over the summer. This letter was signed by Einstein on August 2, and it was hand-delivered to Roosevelt by the economist Alexander Sachs on October 11, 1939. The letter advised Roosevelt of the existence of the German nuclear energy project and warned that it was likely the Germans were working on an atomic bomb using uranium, and that the U.S. should be concerned about locating sources of uranium and researching nuclear weapon technology. At this time the U.S. policy was neutral in the war. Experiments with the fission of uranium were already going on at universities and research institutes in the United States.

The South was the first victim of the Empire......
"The government ruling us draws its authority not from the principles of the Declaration of Independence, or even from the delegate powers listed in the U.S. Constitution, but rather from the war to re-conquer the independent South. That conflict, usually referred to by the artfully misleading title “Civil War,” established the fact that the government in Washington is willing to kill Americans in whatever quantity it deems necessary in order to enforce its edicts, and then sanctify the slaughter in the name of some suitably “progressive” social objective.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Have a five gallon emetic bucket handy when you read it, especially the last two sentences: ".. the moral regeneration of America that (Frank) Capra had hoped to bring about will require more than a Capra. It will require a Lincoln." Yeah, I mentioned Lincoln in 18. what do we expect though from someone with those credentials, they're mired in establishment politics. Anyone approaching that on the basis that the foundation is not flawed can only come up with conclusions well outside the bounds of reality. The vast majority of Americans believe that, it's stunning. Many agree on the symptoms, but on the playing field handed to them by the government, not on one that makes any holistic sense.
Still not getting the semi-colon *thingie*, eh? --Fuck your breath.
Facts never require an apology but that wasn't the first shot of the crybabies who wanted to own slaves...that happened when some brats at the Citadel fired on a US ship that was in waters that it had every right to navigate. --Fuck your breath.

Well said, Katniss, and I agree with you 100%. Even here in the South the brainwashing has been extremely effective. When I asked a former boss of mine who had attended government schools from K-12 in Georgia, "What did they teach you about Abraham Lincoln?", he answered, "That Abraham Lincoln was the greatest president in U.S. history."
But, without nukes "we" might not have been able to win WWJew for the communists! The US was almost out of conventional bombs near the end of the war; that's why "we" could drop only about 14 billion tons of them on Dresden. What are you, some kind of anti-semite, or something? Note: I use "we" in quotation marks not for emphasis, but to indicate that I do not consider the armed forces of the US government to be mine.

Are you being sarcastic? ;-) Amen brothah! 'I use "we" in quotation marks not for emphasis, but to indicate that I do not consider the armed forces of the US government to be mine' -- I am so sick of seeing patriots use quotation marks for emphasis I could spit. (Old bumper sticker: Walk with "Jesus" and you'll never walk alone, arrrggh.) "Support our troops in Operation XYZ".... I enjoy telling jingoists that they're not mine or even amerika's. We used to say they were really the UN's, I guess now they're just Bibi Satanyahu's.
I'm right there with you, brother. Just as you now cringe at what you wrote to Frank Capra in another life long ago, I now regret how -- about 10 years ago -- I answered the jewspaper editor who asked me, "Do you support our troops?" I said, "Yes, when they are deployed in the defense of the United States in accordance with the U.S. Constitution... blah, blah, blah." If interviewed today, I would simply answer, "I don't have any troops."
Don't regret that! Hard to say which reply is better. Brevity is definitely the soul of wit. I don't regret writing Capra. Got his autograph ;-)
They're all mine and every Constitutionalist's of our Republic.

Consequences? They'll get many mailed thank you notes for their service from our foreign friends? Or maybe not if we don't have any. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
Tell us what will be the real consequences you perceive, good or bad.
150 foreign countries will dance a jig, and we'll have a huge influx of wonderfully talented, capable, experienced all-Americans added to the work force where they've belonged this whole time. The percentage of amerikans in our home population will rise by some imperceptible but very meaningful degree. Tons of them are sex criminals, but we're not supposed to think about that -- and in today's gliberalized world, when you think a politically- correct thought (such as "our military are normal healthy mature responsible people") it instantly becomes reality! Ha, "Philippine–American War" -- NEWSPEAK IS ALIVE!!! en.wikip edia.org/wiki/Philippine%E2%80%93American_War Look at this - we're even in Bulgaria!?! "Under the agreement, no more than 2,500 U.S. military personnel will be located at the joint military facilities.... The Bezmer Air Base is expected to become one of the major US strategic airfields overseas, housing American combat aircraft" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bul...ican_Joint_Military_Facil ities USA! USA! USA!.....
Always good to hear from you war. You're a nice reminder of the 50% that rank below the mean on the normal curve of the intelligence scale. It's OK though, these days the government is squarely in the corner of the less intellectually fortunate. So you've got that going for you.
Yeah, it's amazing how most people seem to want to be fooled. They've been trained like dogs to sit around that propaganda machine that spews filth 24/7 when it's not spewing lies, which is part of the root of the problem. I rarely watch anything that was created post-1980.
Firstly, they could help the States as Military advisors and instructors for their Militias. Ask the Governors if they'd like some help patrolling our borders. The rest of the Western world might ask NATO and UN Forces to act on their behalf, if needed. Ukrainians might decide to get along better with their Russian neighbors (which they were a part of anyway until the Bolshevik Commies traded away its territories to our WWI foes for international recognition of their government-overthrow). Israel might try more to get along better with its neighbors too. Trade would likely improve. Americans who don't think of our country as our Military's also (except as a home base from which to deploy abroad) might have some attitude adjustment issues but I'm not really seeing any downsides about our troops coming home.

We're still over there but South Koreans are well able to defend themselves against North Korea -- from China, Japan and/or Russia probably not but I don't think we actually have to be there to advise those nations (or whichever) that it would be an unwise move on their part to try and invade, do we? ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col.

In the recorded history of man, there has never been peace in this world. Newtons third law of action and reaction comes to mind. We play nice, the rest of the world will play nice? That has never happened, will never happen, as long as there are evil men in this world. I lived thru the depression and the isolationist era that accompanied it. No one was for war, stay home mind our own business, we will all live happily ever after. Little did we know, we were wrong, others in the world were plotting and planning to destroy us. At that time the oceans were our main line of defense, that no longer exists. We barely escaped wide destruction in WWIII, we will not escape in the next one.

"Ike" Eisenhower, as I recall, so here are two quotes from him: We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom. Our real "climate change" problem is from peace to war and it's not been about America's war issues much, since before I was born, but wars everywhere being assigned to us to destroy our freedom. That's being destroyed from within and our Military being dispersed worldwide isn't deterring that like it could. Quite the opposite. In a way, our Military being globalized for the world's warrings is our WWIII already and their being elsewhere isn't helping, as might have been thought, to make the world play nice because they should do that in their own best interests. It's helping them think they don't have to if they don't want to, as long as America is in league with them. So, to win this virtual WWIII, we must (imo) move towards preventing it from continuing as it has by getting back on the path of peace. Gandhi said there is no path to peace. Peace is the path.

Now look, amigo, I'm going to ask you again and I want an answer -- where is there any war going on today except what we and our Siamese twin the UK are causing? It's almost as if humanity's finally learned its lesson. You've deuced it again, amigo. It's only a few people in the world who itch to carry a big stick that bring war. It's countries with your essentially paranoid attitude -- and the golems they systematically create -- that cause aggressions, always claiming we have to to "escape wide destruction". This is a direct mirror of the Jew mindset.... well, in this case the manifestation of it in a country that's been thoroughly Jewed. It's healthy for nations and individuals to review their own track record before calling others criminals. Israel is incapable of this and thinks it's totally righteous and totally persecuted, now Washington's the same way. You say Japan was this big global threat in the 1940s. Japan had wanted to close itself off from the rest of the world in the 19th century, and who was it that pointed cannons at her and forced her to start trading ergo modernizing, unfortunately with an ancestor of mine on board? U.S., of course. I've pointed out before that there never would have been a USSR without a USSA building and financing it every step of the way -- well, without key kosher individuals cannibalizing amerika's miraculous prosperity for it. And how without Versailles there would have been no Reichstag fire. Only a Jewed Christendom hates and tortures Germany! So there go the three big bugaboos you're concerned with. Voicing the spirit of the founding era, John Quincy Adams wrote "Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy", a policy that actually worked. But for half our history amerika's been ruled by (?) people who create monsters -- real and imagined -- to save us from. You seem to think it's a raving success. Some of us disagree.
For those that think NN's a bit hard on "our" military.... www.dailystormer.com/our-dead-gay-army/ If there is a benefit of America’s late stage spiritual cancer, it’s that institutions that are likely to be turned against us in the near future have been severely damaged by the spreading rot and will be a lot less effective at enforcing the tyranny than might have otherwise been the case. We see it in our 90 I.Q. police force that’s baffled by the most straightforward of investigations, their hands tied by cultural marxism and the inferior individuals they now focus on recruiting and retaining. The military, the American Golem that serves Israel, has been steadily transformed into a weak and embarrassing mass of dark flesh and mentally defective perverts who are almost completely reliant on technology and still manage to come out losers in conflicts with goat herding jihadans. I swear, honest, that I only just saw that -- not before writing #84 above. Please go to the Stormer link and see the picture! Por favor... I'm begging you... for anything our friendship has ever meant to you :-)
Chyea...but @ *49* I'm still @ a comfortable 4x's higher than you. Have no fear...you do still rank quite high on the not normal scale of the intelligence curve. Here's a helpful hint: When you want to insult someone over their level of *intelligence* either learn how to write a clear and concise sentence or find someone to ghost for you...I'm sure that the G-Man who is watching you from inside of your closet will be *happy* to *help*. It's OK though, these days the government is squarely in the corner of the less intellectually fortunate. Oh...he already is...carry on... --Fuck your breath.
Kentucky was *neutral* until southern state based insurgents invaded it and then, when pushed out, continued to raid and pillage it. --Fuck your breath.
I'd bet you money that your IQ is not within 20 points of mine. Either way, yet one more classic post by you demonstrating that your ability to focus and coordinate thoughts is abjectly defunct.
Since 1945 have we had WWIII? Ike also asked for and was denied UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING. A draft for every American born, NO EXCEPTIONS. Good heavens no, let those less worthy do it.
I'm rich enough on my own, thanks. Either way, yet one more classic post by you demonstrating that your ability to focus and coordinate thoughts is abjectly defunct. I'm not the one who composes impotent, stilted sentences in a failed effort to come off as a pedantic snot. On the other hand, I am the one who composes poignant and well written sentences in a successful effort to come off as a pedantic snot. --Fuck your breath.
One sign of intelligence (non-sarcastically, now) is not making he same mistake over and over... like getting into it with war.

Me at #50: I think America was held hostage by the Great Depression orchestrators until it was agreed to supply those like Oppenheimer, who wanted to develop n-weaponry, with the uranium and funding they requested.

Don't forget about the first person of their unholy trinity: Abraham Lincoln. For several years, 4 of every 5 editions were dedicated at least in part to exalting that mass murderer. Then a couple of years ago they switched over to Reagan/Churchill idolatry, and I thought that perhaps their formerly incessant philosiminianism was only a case of temporary monkey love. But the latest issue (March 2015) disabused me of that foolish notion, and it appears that they were only recoiling a little that they might strike the better. Lincoln is again the Supreme One, from whose mouth and pen flow rivers of wisdom and righteousness. The ape and/or his memorial are mentioned 16 times. And in the spirit of trinitarian propriety, Churchill and Reagan also garner a couple of mentions each. Oh, and the statue of liberty -- "the greatest light since the Star of Bethlehem."

Yeah, I mentioned Lincoln in 18. what do we expect though from someone with those credentials, they're mired in establishment politics.

At least the South fought to fight a just war in defending their own soil from invasion. I am amused at Union apologists who claim that the South fired the first shot at Fort Sumter.

Yes I'll readily opine we never should have messed with nukes. Never! Just another way we've led the world into more instead of less misery and death. OK, somebody, hit me with your best shot. Fire away.

that wasn't the first shot of the crybabies who wanted to own slaves...that happened when some brats at the Citadel fired on a US ship that was in waters that it had every right to navigate.

"Support our troops in Operation XYZ".... I enjoy telling jingoists that they're not mine or even amerika's. We used to say they were really the UN's, I guess now they're just Bibi Satanyahu's.

If interviewed today, I would simply answer, "I don't have any troops."

Even here in the South the brainwashing has been extremely effective. When I asked a former boss of mine who had attended government schools from K-12 in Georgia, "What did they teach you about Abraham Lincoln?", he answered, "That Abraham Lincoln was the greatest president in U.S. history."

Tell us what will be the real consequences you perceive, good or bad.

but I'm not really seeing any downsides about our troops coming home. How about you?

Don't you think NATO and UN Forces would be enough geo/political vacuum managers? I do.

You're a nice reminder of the 50% that rank below the mean on the normal curve of the intelligence scale.

Major Anderson at Fort Sumter was Pro-Slavery and from Kentucky -- one of the Union's slave States throughout the war.
