Thank you for your kind words.
You are right, people are overwhelmed with what is happening, and are flat out keeping their heads above water.
We need strong, clear, credible and honest people in the community to bring their communities together to take on the politicians.
Anything else (as far as I can tell) will fail.
No one loves Abe in the south. I originally grew up on the West Coast and I am familiar with that love of Abe. But after moving to the south and being forced to re-look at a lot of things in my life and history?
His actions were tyrannical.
South Carolina asked him to withdraw Federal Troops from their land, and Lincoln refused.
He did even worse than that if you research it, suspended Habeus Corpus, instituted a war time income tax, etc. He was Woodrow Wilson before Wilson was even born.
It seems like BECAUSE IT IS - this goes back to a book title, rules for radicals by Saul Alinsky. He believed to shift the global economy from that of liberty and Capitalist centric to Communist, you first had to hasten the collapse of said system.
That’s the goal of the technocrats as well, they want us all dead - they want robots doing the labor, and they enjoy the fruits of that while we are gone.
Alinsky and his crowd, saw the ultimate fruition of that when Johnson passed the Great Society Act, crippling black families with generational slavery through the state. (Check out the documentary, Runaway Slave) Today Blacks have been replaced with third world immigration from Somalia, India, etc. The amount of fraud in Minnesota is simply mind blowing - but just like with PDFile island donors and members, no arrests, nothing changes.
Just hastening the collapse.
Another side of this, and I’m not sure if the Technocrats or the Alinsky-ites were aware of this is the experiment that John Calhoun performed in the sixties, Universe 25. He put a bunch of mice in an environment where they had all their needs met without friction or pain from the mouse. Mankind is going through that right now in the cities - we’re not reproducing and the environment, the food, the water, it is making men into something other than men.
The rise of the TG movement is directly proportional to micro plastics, vegetable oils, flouride and over crowding in cities. The “pretty ones” just groom themselves all day and don’t desire being with a woman to reproduce.
Now all of this goes back to Malthus, and I do believe the Alinsky-ites and the Technocrats are both fruit of that tree.
Lincoln’s problem here is he didn’t live long enough after Lee surrendered to implement anything. Before the war, there was talk among the abolitionists of shipping the slaves back to Africa, specifically Liberia. Some did make that trip. The funny part was the outcome. The former slaves proceeded to impose their own version of slavery on the locals who never departed Africa. Lincoln did have a track record of saying one thing to get elected and then later caving to the abolitionists in order to keep them on side during the war. The result is that we really don’t know what his post-war plan was for the former slaves. The only conclusions we can make are the transcontinental railroad would still have been built and Lincoln would have not implemented Reconstruction as it happened with Johnson as president and the Radical Republicans running Congress. Would there have been Reconstruction? Yes, but not as it happened with carpetbaggers and others out to take advantage of the situation. If he had lived, perhaps there never would have been a KKK, Dixiecrats, or eventually LBJ. Or at least not as it happened. This is one of those alternative history “what if” scenarios.
The troops were inside a federal fort, which existed for decades before the war. Funny how South Carolina had no problem with that fort up until Lincoln was elected. Suddenly they decided they didn’t want what they demanded only a few decades earlier. Why is that?
The South does have its alternative reality to everything that happened. As a truck driver, now retired, one day I was blamed by some southerners for what happened because I refused to believe in their alternative reality that includes how slavery was all about being nice to the slaves and how farmers up north were a bunch of retards for not having slaves. Yes, my ancestors were retards, according to many in the south. However, they did convince me of the fact that many of them must continue to fight that war because if they stopped, they would have to admit they lost. Their brainwashing starts in the schools and only intensifies as they get older.
No wonder how during WWII, the south had to be given huge incentives to produce war materials. While up north, the attitude was no incentives were required. How many shell casings, submarines, trucks, tanks, airplanes, and engines do you want built yesterday? We can work around the clock, seven days a week including Christmas. They did it and then went back and demanded the government hand out more orders for more production.
Per the Constitution, the president is allowed to invoke such actions. Yes, Wilson did that. FDR invoked war mandates during WWII.
South Carolina chose to declare war. Bad decisions invoke bad outcomes. The way I see it, if anyone is at fault here, it is South Carolina for making those bad decisions.
I find it always interesting how southerners demanded that people living in the Midwest were supposed to help them round up their escaped slaves, even if it meant invading British Canada, which is where the slaves were heading. Yet today, they deny this historical fact.
But then I find it interesting how southerners rounding up slaves couldn’t find slaves hiding in plain sight. There are a few underground railroad stations near where I live and the first thing that always comes to mind is, “Seriously, they didn’t have enough common sense to look in summer kitchen?” But I must admit, I have never seen a summer kitchen in the south. Probably because they don’t get actual winters and hardly anyone in the south was a German immigrant trying to clear land and earn a living on his own farm. I think summer kitchens were a northern German invention. Or perhaps Danish. Suddenly, Bugs Bunny vs Yosemite Sam cartoons taking place in the south become a documentary about the south.
Another one is trying to impose slavery in Kansas, ignoring the 1820 Missouri Compromise. That too, is denied as happening the way it did.
You really believe that robots and machines can do everything? Who is going to fix all those robots when they break? What happens when a tornado hits?
People in the south are delusional. That is on a good day. Too much time spent being indoctrinated inside churches by corrupt preachers who scream for more money in order to be saved. Not enough time spent out in the real world. Little wonder then, why when I was driving a truck over the road, we were told that if there was a breakdown, try to limp the truck and trailer to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, or even Illinois. Those shops have mechanics who understand how to fix what breaks. The result was a load of stuff from Florida going to Plattsburgh, NY. Trailer is missing a gladhand and the air brake line leaks. Wrap the leak in duct tape and attach a spare gladhand. Then swing by the shop in Pennsylvania, skipping the ones in North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia because I knew they would just stare at it for half an hour and pronounce it fixed. I always never understood why our southern drivers never carried spare parts.
As for Alinsky, it was LBJ and the Dixiecrats who enabled Alinsky’s plans with LBJ’s Great Society. Why is that? It was a promise to keep the destroy the black families and keep all black people down at the bottom, and it worked. The Great Society was even preached in the churches across the south as a way to “help” the poor blacks.

Everything that happened post 1789 proved the Anti-Federalist warnings correct. This includes them having property within states.
But the North doesn’t?
Don’t the winner write history?
Slavery sucks - but Lincoln’s solution was the worst possible scenario. It makes it impossible to “divorce” the union if it becomes abusive and authoritarian.
Had the CSA remained in place instead of the Federalist nightmare we got - the states who were abolitionist could have imposed duties/tariffs on slave states. Heck - this would have been a better solution for Lincoln, let them divorce from the union and place massive tariff and trade barriers on the products they produced.
In the modern day - we should have never opened up free trade with China for this reason as well. China uses what is effectively slave labor, I remember the suicide net story breaking yet consumer behavior toward the companies engaged with FoxConn remained exactly the same.
I’m of the opinion the US should not have been involved in either WW1 or WW2. This is part of the military industrial complex that feeds the international bankers.
The Constitution is a joke of a document. Take the first amendment, the right to free speech. Can you protest without getting a permit? Soon, we’ll have to give them our birthdate and ID to use our own computers to even communicate in this space.
Take the second amendment, the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. This didn’t stop them from creating the ATF when they tried to overreach with an Alcohol ban (via the amendment unlike later drug enforcement efforts) At the time who was protesting the Feds taking away what had been an ingrained right?
To this day, you can’t buy a firearm without going through the hoops they setup during the prohibition - so has the Constitution really protected our God given liberties?
There is a lot of Sunday-ianity down here, but it is just as rampant nationwide. It just happens down here that there is an altar to their idol on every corner.
I’m ex-Christian - Part of the psy op in everything going on is convincing Christians that their 2000 year old failed prophesies in Revelation are playing out and they will be raptured away from any coming affliction.
Absolutely - just because Lincoln was wrong, doesn’t make the South and it’s racism right.
You can have two wrong and shades of grey.
I’m really impressed with Artix thus far on my laptop.
Apparently you would rather have each state fend for itself. Yet during the American Revolution, that entire concept was proven incorrect, repeatedly.
That over-used line is getting very old and is very inaccurate. The southerns indoctrination camps prove this because they keep indoctrinating the same old lie, that Lincoln started the war and poor little South Carolina was only defending itself after it started shooting at the fort. South Carolina is the victim here. Poor me! Southerners were held back by the northerners!
I tend to think that southerners were held back by their own “peculiar institutions.” Many that still exist to this day and are still holding them back.
100% unconstitutional. Go read Article 1, if you dare.
Funny how that happened during Bill Clinton. One of the south’s great heroes. So great that they put up massive signs around Hope, AR directing his worshipers where to exit off I-20 and where to turn in the town. How do I know this? Retired truck driver, over the road.
I believe that America should have stayed out of WWI. However, once committed, when Uncle Sam comes around asking for help building materials and increasing food production, it is time to step up. The southerners didn’t do that. Why? Still butt-hurt over the Civil War.
As for WWII, it sounds like you would have preferred to give Imperial Japan what it expected. For Americans to run away in fear, abandoning Hawaii and then Alaska. Leaving the Philippines to decades of terror while the American troops stationed there got slaughtered.
Then there is Europe. FDR didn’t declare war on Nazi Germany. Uncle Adolph did that a few days later. What was FDR supposed to do? Run away in fear? That sounds like the outcome you wanted.
I believe WWII would not have happened if America has stayed out of WWI. It was not the war to end all wars, but the war between the imperial cousins. Well, except for Italy and Japan. Those two just took advantage of the entire WWI situation, regardless of American involvement. But Pearl Harbor would have still happened. Perhaps on a slightly different timeline. But the warlords of Japan would have still attacked. And you would have ran away.
Last time I checked, all during the Resident Autopen Regime, lots of people were openly pointing out the flaws of the Resident Autopen Regime. The one that was elected using Chicago voting rules. Granted, it was mostly online. But the Resident Autopen Regime could have easily shut it down and rounded up people if not for the First Amendment, backed up by the Second.
So no. The Constitution is not a joke. But perhaps it is where you live?
I know of quite a few places where it is possible to get a gun without jumping through hoops. It is also possible to manufacture your own, if you have the knowledge of how to set up and operate machine tools properly.
As for Prohibition, that was done legally. I always found it funny how southerners never quite figured out how to hide their alcohol production and transportation systems in plain sight like we did in the Midwest.
I wouldn’t say it is rampant nationwide. I have been to parts of the country where nobody cares what you believe, or don’t believe. For instance, take the Amish. They don’t force what they believe on anyone and don’t care about what others believe or think of them. But I do have to feel sorry for them because there are so many mental defects out there who believe it is their right to harass, terrorize, and harm the Amish. Last year another Amish family was killed because some mental defect chose to run over their horse and buggy without warning. No drugs or alcohol involved. The motive was hating the Amish for being Amish. Funny how there was no outrage in the rainbow cities with all their “hate crime” laws. Sorry. I forgot. Hate crime laws only apply to certain victims of certain crimes when the proper boxes are checked.
That is what they believe. The predictions are always coming within your lifetime. I was told the world would end by 1985. Their trouble is, they have the same problem as the environ-mentalists. In the 1970s the next ice age is coming and will be here by 1985. But it never happened. So they switched to global warming as defined by the Algore. Then that failed when the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, and Antarctica failed to cooperate within the prescribed timeframe. Quick! March out St. Greta Of Troll and scream about manufactured climate change ending the world in 10 years. Trouble is, that was started 10 years ago and the climate is still about the same as it was when I was in grade school, only not quite as hot in summer and not quite as cold in winter. Knowing that, I will take manufactured climate change because the result is a longer growing season for crops, resulting in a stronger food supply. Most people who live in cities don’t understand how a longer growing season is a good thing. My dad would plant 90 day corn. My brother says the neighbor plants 120 day corn. Difference? 50% greater yield per acre.
The truth about Revelation is it was written after the destruction of Jerusalem and is using religious beliefs of the time to explain why Rome had a relatively easy time of destroying it. But the scheduled indoctrinated love to cherry-pick individual pieces of text where they are told to cherry pick, completely ignoring the entire context when taken as a whole. Now repeat that method for every other book in the Bible and suddenly, the conflicts of interest start to appear.
My favorite is the ending of first five books and the belief that Moses alone wrote them. Really? How did he write about his own death in detail? Their answer is Joshua wrote that part. So Moses didn’t write the first five books? Their answer is yes, he did. They want it both ways. But if Joshua wrote about his death, then Joshua should know where Moses is buried, yet he claims he doesn’t. Therefore, Joshua is lying or he is making it up out of previous fables, assuming Joshua and Moses existed and the Exodus happened, which based on what extremely little evidence has been found, probably didn’t. The heads start smoking, there is much screaming and threats of physical harm to me because destroying unbelievers is allowed, despite claims that only Muslims do that. Meanwhile I can always drag out a bigger post hole digger to dig deeper holes for them and their cherry-picking.
Southern truck stops can be very dangerous places. Same for the warehouses. I should know. I had 16 loaded guns pointed at me at a warehouse, point blank. All for trying to do my job while following the poorly written directions provided by the warehouse management and informing them that it was their responsibility to provide clear directions like we do in the Midwest and the Northeast except NYC and Boston.
I still never figured out how to climb a truck up that vertical wall in Brooklyn where I was supposed to turn left under the railroad overpass per the directions provided. Which is why I compared the warehouse manager to someone from NYC. Both were equally incompetent.
Yes - I think that would be preferable to what we have today. As I opened up with, the Anti-Federalists were 100% proven right, with our central banker owned Government today.
And the North didn’t do the same?
Neither side was angels, and Lincoln’s final solution to keep states from separating was the murder of 700k Americans to keep them from separation.
Did they kill anyone in the process of taking their land back?
If they are no longer states of the Union, they are a foreign country and can be levied a tariff. You also have proven my point that the Constitution is inferior to the AoC.
Why would that be funny? Both parties work for the deep state.
Have you actually been to the south? Ain’t no one that likes Clinton. They know his policies caused cotton farms to migrate to Mexico with NAFTA.
I’m not a slave of the state bro, do you also agree with FDR taking people’s private gold reserves?
Maybe - at the time it was two generations removed. The bankers wanted a war, and once started it is the job of the citizens to support the deep state and the bankers?
You mean to not let them attack Pearl Harbor - which FDR and his higher ups all knew was coming, and intentionally allowed the same way Wilson allowed the Lusitania to be struck and Bush allowed the towers to be struck?
You mean like that?
And what business is it of America what happens in Europe? The only reason we got into the war is because FDR drew Japan to attack Pearl Harbor, knowing full well it would draw America to support his war. Of course the ally of Japan declares war against us.
Do you also support the current regime’s war against Iran for Israel?
1000000% - and also Wilson (who was a racist card carrying KKK member) forming the league of nations, which was the predecessor to the UN and all this age verification crap we’re dealing with now.
Is it?
Did you hear about the guy that got arrested in Tennessee for practicing his first amendment rights? For posting a meme that was too spicy?
And this government has still rounded up people, the Native Americans first then during WW1 and 2, the Germans and added the Japanese to that in WW2.
Had the Japanese been armed, would they have not been arrested?
And what of Ruby Ridge, Waco, or the more recent hit on Bryan Malinkowski? Why did the ATF go to his home at 2AM and cover his Ring Camera?
Home of the free, land of the brave right?
Is more Government the solution to that problem?
You ever read or heard Crichton speak on that issue? the church of environmentalism is a replacement for Judeo-Christianity, they have their own version of the fall of man, and aspire to return man “to the garden”.
I agree - this is also the explanation of the Synoptics. Mark was allegory about Titus conquering Rome. John is esoteric 2nd century magicka.
Would be quite a feat - It’s not even possible to follow. My wife still believes, and we go to a Messianic group in the area. They believe they perfectly do “Torah” which is not even possible. There are numerous contradictory commands.
Same goes for anywhere, I came from the west coast and have been to rest stops I’d rather have never stopped at.
Would you stop in Oakland or St. Louis for help? Those aren’t in the south.
What about Chicago? Stop in inner city Chicago for help?
every area has good and bad.
I find there are some pretty strange dichotomies in US culture.
Take their distrust of gov’t, especially the feds, and their love of freedom, and combine that with the sort of law and law enforcement fetishism that I often see, and don’t get me going on about some of the sentences passed out for some things. Until very recently, the USA had the highest per-capita prison population on the planet. Then there are all the flock cameras now proliferating, and law enforcement applying military intelligence style analytics to the civilian populations. It seems to me to be a land of contradictions.
Personally, I think the gov’t on every level is broken and corrupt, maybe just not as badly as most of the other western gov’ts are.
Heck, the feds seem to spend more money on weaponry, used specifically to get involved in foreign entanglements, than they do maintaining the levees in the midwest that help keep that breadbasket running.
Then there exist there these things called “Home Owner’s Associations”, basically little private-sector fiefdoms that often fine people for painting their front door the wrong colour, or using a genny during a blackout, of flying a flag, or whatever.
I don’t think any of the Founding Fathers would recognise the place anymore.
Correct and I love the statement by Milton Friedman when Socialist wants “good people” in Government to regulate the “bad people” in Business.
”Where do you think you’re going to find these angels to run Government? Everyone operates by greed to some degree or another, and there’s nothing wrong with pursuing self-interest.”
The system is broken, because humanity is broken. We are greedy, we are lazy, we don’t seek the betterment of others unless threatened with eternal and everlasting hell fire.
Entropy rules the roost, people will always seek the least painful way to accomplish something, and for big business this means getting in bed with big government.
That is definitely strange - when I was looking to purchase the property I’m in now, one of my qualifiers was it not being in a mini fiefdom.
I have theories as to why the world is the way it is - they used the wars of the twentieth century to kill off the most masculine, daring men. Those left were not as masculine or as brave - they had children, and their children are even less masculine and brave.
You add on top of this the diet, the micro plastics and it has been to attack the masculine, not this fake alpha male crap from some celebrities - but a man willing and able to stand up for what’s right and go away from what’s wrong.
I dunno. Back in the 1970s, seems to me that masculinity was still valued. In the 1980s, the safety Karens started throwing their weight around, and its been getting worse ever since. Take such innocuous things as tobacco laws. When I was a kid of 8, I could buy a pack of smokes. Mom or dad would often send me to the store to get them a pack, and reward me with some money to by some caps or bottle rockets or a candy bar. Fast food joints had cigarette vending machines, then, thanks to the safety Karens, the entire society outsourced the job of bringin’ up their kids to the state, and the state would much rather govern compliant drones than men.
I grew up more in the eighties than the seventies (born in the middle of the seventies) I rode my bike without brakes, frequently crashed on gravel roads.
My parents still told us to leave the house after school, I spent most of my day outside.
What you’re talking about I think began in the early to mid ninteties. The age of the participation trophy, pushing hard against spanking, etc. And there was still SOME masculinity in the 70s - 80s, but not compared to generations earlier. Boone just got up and walked to Missouri when he got sick of what was going on in Kentucky. He then built a massive house, on a plot of land.
After Boone, men took their families to journey 2000+ miles on a wagon trail for the promise of a better life through land in the West. I took my own family out of the Communist west coast for that reason, but it sure as hell wasn’t a 4-6 month wagon trail. I spent a week traveling across the country.
We on AVERAGE are a softer people.
My parents emigrated from England in 1968, when I was a baby.
We had a few Lee-Enfields laying about in the house, and random .303 shells laying on bookshelves all through my childhood. My and my brother would take spent cases, put a fire-cracker in them, then pile in a bit of gravel, and shoot at each other. We never even dreamed of actually shooting at each other with the rifles. When I was 6 or 7, at the range with my brother and my dad, I whined to let me shoot the “big gun”, (an old .303), instead of just the .22. Knocked me on my ass, and my dad got a good laugh out of it.
For my 11th birthday, dad gave me a a bag of potassium nitrate, a bag of sulphur and a bag of charcoal, and a gas mask.
We had this old abandoned rock quarry just outside of town, with rotting conveyor belt chutes going up an escarpment to different railroad levels. My and my friends would often pack our slingshots and pellet guns and go there to play for the day. Sometimes we’d see another gang of kids there with the same idea. Then it was guerrilla warfare time in the post-apocalyptic ruins. We would spend our paper-route/allowance at the army surplus store, kitting ourselves out.
That should give you some idea of the level of contempt I have for modern society.
Here are some pics of that old quarry. It was a dangerous place to play, I know of 2 kids who died there, but man, for a kid, it was awesome.
I remember seeing the place all through my childhood, and one day, me and my brother decided to go there, and found a true wonderland.
How does all this relate to age verification, you may ask?
Simple. When kids of past generations have more balls than so-called men now, and people want the gov’t to protect kids from pictures on a screen, we have a deep, deep, systemic problem, truly telegraphing a sickened weakness to our enemies.
Oh, I gots lotsa stories.
When I was 8-9, dad sent mom and the kids to Europe for a year. Spent an summer living in a tent on the beach in Malaga, in Spain. Cops with sub-machine guns. Me and my brother would go snorkelling and catch octopus for mom to cook up. Then of to a small village called Cazorla, the only place where I met other kids who would fight: the gypsies. Then off to winter in the south of France. I went to school there for a few months, went on a 2-week school trip to the Pyranees mountains. As soon as we got off the bus after a super-long ride, our teachers told us to go out and make some crafts.
They had old, old buildings with slate roofs, and all sorts of sharp slate flakes lying on the ground. Naturally, me and my brother’s craft was bows and arrows using pieces of slate we “knapped” into arrowheads, and fletched with chicken feathers. When it was our turn to show off our craft, which could sink about an inch or two into tin-plated sheds, our teachers confiscated our bows. This is what Englishmen were.
