What is bringing this up now is this recent snippet from Ayers that has been making the rounds where he says Obama should be tried for war crimes. That sounds to me like a man who is very frustrated with Obama, a person he once had high hopes for. Is he on the verge of cracking? I don’t know. Let’s hope so. But let’s not give him reason to keep his mouth shut with our obnoxiousness. Bill Ayers is potentially our friend. He should be stroked, not chastised.

(BTW, watch the next clip where they ask Bill Ayers who his favorite conservative is. I have no doubt that the guy is still an ardent leftist, but his answers seems remarkably out of touch. He replies genuinely unknowingly that he likes Chris Matthews. Then asks if he is a conservative. Then says “I thought he was.” Then says he had never seen Matthews until he interviewed him. Wow! How out of touch do you have to be with the culture of modern leftism not to be familiar with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews?)

In short, Rand Paul is worthless.  For anyone who put effort into his campaign, what a waste of time and energy.

Some recent articles:

Matthew Cooper, National Journal: “Why Rand Paul’s Hispanic Pitch Is Doomed:
He’s pushing the idea that Hispanics are natural Republicans. The polling says that’s wrong”

Jesse Mossman:  “Rand Paul Does A Rubio: Tells Illegals ‘We will find a place for you’”

Dennis Mangan:  “What’s wrong with libertarians?”

Jack Ryan:  “Libertarian Immigration Treason… Not Just Ron and Rand Paul”

Other:

CIS: “74.7% of Mexican immigrants use some form of welfare in the USA”

Frank Salter: “Estimating Ethnic Genetic Interests: Is It Adaptive to Resist Replacement Migration?“

Just think – for hundreds of thousands of years, no one realized that women are just as strong and fast as men. Imagine all the military capabilities that have been ignored all this time.

Of course, there’s no conceivable (ha!) reason that society would want men out on the battlefield protecting women, seeing as how both sexes – excuse me, genders – are completely interchangeable.

And there’s another benefit to this move: Once men in the military realize women are their equals, sexual harrassment within the ranks will disappear.

Thank you, President Obama, for opening our eyes and blazing a new path toward the equality of all persons!

The defense of the NSA program by these two authors is of particular note because of the authors’ affiliation with the Cato Institute that describes itself as “dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets and peace” and having a “strict respect for civil liberties and skepticism about the benefits of both the welfare state and foreign military adventurism.” The authors’ article is providing valuable cover for the advocates of the mass spying program.

The authors of the article Kristol is promoting are Cato Institute Center for Constitutional Studies President Roger Pilon and Cato Institute Adjunct Scholar Richard A. Epstein who wrote an attempted sweeping exculpation of the National Security Agency (NSA) and all the branches of the US government for the NSA’s mass spying on phone calls.

These tools say:

Legally, the president is on secure footing under the Patriot Act

Umm … not if the Patriot Act is unconstitutional. And even if a Cato scholar believes the Patriot Act to be technically legal, he should be bashing it as an obnoxious overreach, not using it in an apologia for another obnoxious overreach.

Regarding whether or not the coup at Cato was for the better or for the worse, I think it is safe to say that the verdict is in.

Given all the concern over the NSA snooping allegations, is Snowden for real, etc., I thought this site needed a little levity, and nothing says levity like a good 80s tune. I nominate this as the official theme song of the NSA scandal. (Have we dubed this as a “gate” yet? How about Snoopgate?) You know what they say. Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean someone isn’t really out to get you.

Lyrics here: (emphasis mine)

I’m just an average man with an average life
I work from nine to five, hey, hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I’m in the twilight zone

I always feel like somebody’s watching me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Tell mi is it just a dream

When I come home at night
I bolt the door real tight
People call me on the phone, I’m trying to avoid
But can the people on tv see me or am I just paranoid

When I’m in the shower I’m afraid to wash my hair
Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there
People say I’m crazy, just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me of psycho too much
That’s why…

I always feel like somebody’s watching me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Who’s playin’ tricks on me

(Instrumental)

I don’t know anymore
Are the neighbors watching me
Well is the mailman watching me
And I don’t feel safe anymore, oh what a mess
I wonder who’s watching me now (booo! ) – the irs?

I always feel like somebody’s watching me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Tell me is it just a dream

I always feel like somebody’s watching me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Who’s playin’ tricks on me

I always feel like somebody’s watching me
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Tell me this can’t be

I always feel like somebody’s watching me
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
I always feel like somebody’s watching me

Reading Lowry’s article, one can just smell the fear emanating from Lowry, a pundit who’s notorious for his tendency to run away from a fight while goading others to fight for him. Cowards often compensate by talking tough, and Lowry not only supported the invasion of Iraq, but the nuclear bombing of Mecca since the 9/11 conspirators were all Muslim. I can just see Richie Rich giggling in anticipation of thousands of innocent lives being snuffed out in the name of American Power.

I suspect what’s got Lowry so worked up is the steady progress folks like DiLorenzo have made in exposing Lincoln and the regime he founded. The ever-prescient Ed Sebesta hits the bull’s eye in his blog post when he says

What is interesting is that Lowry decided that this article needed writing. The anti-Lincoln campaign of the neo-Confederates has been going on for some time. I think this might be a sign that the anti-Lincoln campaign is going somewhere and the leadership of conservatism in America is beginning to get concerned.

Amen, Brother Sebesta! The concern is real because Lowry knows that exposing Lincoln exposes the Empire. The Lincoln Myth of the Great Liberator is the founding myth of the rogue global empire headquartered in DC today. That myth justifies the ruling elite’s power and privilege in the name of spreading freedom and democracy, terms we heard ad nauseum in the run-up to the illegal invasion of Iraq.

Lincoln’s role as the founder and model of today’s authoritarian American Empire isn’t just my idea. Here’s what Lowry himself wrote recently in an article entitled, “Lincoln Can Teach Us Today“:

The National Security Agency telephone and Internet surveillance program is similar to Abraham Lincoln’s Civil War act of suspending habeas corpus, National Review editor Rich Lowry tells Newsmax.

“When he did it initially, any reasonable person would think it was an appropriate measure because troops were coming down from the North at the beginning of the war when Washington was isolated and not protected, and they were stopped in Baltimore by mobs.”

However, many in Lincoln’s day believed the suspension went too far when it became almost a matter of routine, Lowry said.

George Bush, a bit more squeamish than Obama, never did that; but Mr. Obama felt those decisions were the president’s responsibility: he want[s] to keep his own finger on the trigger,” according to one report.A tidy, scheduled man, the President only picks his victims once a week, now called “Terror Tuesday
On October 14, 2011, in Shabwah province, Yemen, Abdul, went out with his cousins and friends for a good old US-style barbecue, when Obama’s drone fired a rocket, blowing the teenager to pieces…

Obama’s minions tried to cover up the hit on the teenagers.  Attorney General Eric Holder informed Congress of the killings by writing that U.S. drones had blown up Anwar al-Awlaki, the crazy cleric and three other Americans who “were not specifically targeted.”

Holder’s comment makes it seem that Awlaki’s son was blown up with him—a sad case of ‘collateral damage.’

But are you ready for this?  The teenager—along with his cousin and friends—was killed two weeks after and hundreds of miles away from the site where rockets killed his father…

I am convinced the hit on al-Awlaki’s son was meant to teach a lesson, If you want to be a martyr, we’ll make your son and your mom and daughter martyrs too. 

Such terror-for-terror can be, I’ll admit, quite effective.  During the Ronald Reagan years, that gutless faux-cowboy President sent weapons to Ayatollah Khomeini in return for the release of hostages taken by Hezbollah.  The Russians got their hostages home another way.  The USSR didn’t accept an arms-for-hostage deal. Rather, the KGB systematically assassinated the hostage-takers’ cousins, mothers and brothers one by one—until Hezbollah released all the Russian hostages.

The narrative, particularly strong on the various forms of the ‘right’, portrays Obama as a disengaged (seen as a positive), perhaps, lightweight, a product of his managers.  Even the most frustrated paleo noted that George W. would mock the “neocons” Kristol and Krauthammer, by calling them the Bomber Boys.

Obama is something new; I am not sure what.  I know Presidents in the past have made Executive Decisions (e.g. Diem in Vietnam), but this, this is something new as it’s quasi legal, does not involve the elimination of Executives and in this case,  Anwar al-Awlaki, had been invited to the Pentagon in the months after 9/11, and apparently, this is a weekly event.

The Italian (or Sicilian) Mafia was able to provide a certain order (at least according to myth) by agreeing that families were off limits.  It was the arrival of the Russian Mob to Brighton Beach (thank you, Senator Scoop Jackson, arch neocon!) in alliance with NY Politicos (looking at you Guiliani, Schumer and D’Amato)  that did in the Italians, and allowed the rise of the Russian Mob, and the death of the ‘family off limits’ ethic.

Anyway, read the article.

USA Today: Syrian rebels pledge loyalty to al-Qaeda

Breitbart: Obama Admin Considers Resettling Thousands of Syrian Refugees in U.S.

Pearl Jam with Neil Young

Well, they have something else to sell you, so you better listen up:

“Edward Snowden is an enemy of the people. The patriotic peoples of the United States of America are in perfect solidarity with their humble servants in the National Security Agency, who labor day and night to protect them from terrorists.”

Yes, the same chorus that sang the praises of the Iraq War, the Department of Homeland Security, and indefinite detention, is now demanding the head of Edward Snowden.

Here’s everyone’s favorite name-dropper and fear-monger, Thomas Friedman:

“I do wonder if some of those who unequivocally defend this disclosure are behaving as if 9/11 never happened — that the only thing we have to fear is government intrusion in our lives, not the intrusion of those who gather in secret cells in Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan and plot how to topple our tallest buildings or bring down U.S. airliners with bombs planted inside underwear, tennis shoes or computer printers.”

Yes, the li’l ol’ US of A was just sitting there, minding its own business on 9/11 when those dastardly terrorists slipped past the ever-vigilant George W. Bush and attacked the World Trade Center. And if you object to the National Security Agency monitoring your emails and phone conversations, it will happen again, and it will be your fault. So says Thomas Friedman, who is never wrong.

David Brooks, who went down fighting for the Bush-Cheney storyboard even after Bush and Cheney abandoned it, wonders how Americans could take a high school dropout seriously, then finishes Snowden off with this killshot:

“He betrayed the Constitution. The founders did not create the United States so that some solitary 29-year-old could make unilateral decisions about what should be exposed. Snowden self-indulgently short-circuited the democratic structures of accountability, putting his own preferences above everything else.”

Yes, of course. The Founders really wanted an all-powerful central government working in the shadows to give itself the power to monitor, indefinitely imprison, and even assassinate enemies.

Andrew Sullivan, who famously called for fellow homosexuals to cheer on Bush’s wars in the name of the Global War of Homosexual Liberation, now counsels Americans to hush up about the leaked documents and trust their betters in DC.

But remember, it’s not just the DC-embedded elite columnists who create consensus. There’s a role for blue-collar advocates, too. In the runup to the Iraq War, a coalition of progressive and conservative grass-roots bloggers sounded the alarm about Saddam Hussein’s plot to conquer and enslave us all. Of course, when no WMD were found, and the Iraqi insurgents took up W’s challenge to “bring it on,” many of these former war supporters, like their national columnist allies, backed away from the war and started pointing fingers. Even more embarrassing, the right- and left-wing blogs, such as American Power, The Other McCain, and Little Green Footballs, started sniping at each other in what I called the “Little Green Meltdown.”

But Edward Snowden’s leaks have brought them back together. Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs has been firing at Snowden’s supporters like a Gatling gun. (See here, and here, for example.) No one can match the biting arrogance of Charles Johnson when he scourges the depravity and ignorance of those who dare disagree with him. He dismisses Edward Snowden by simply quoting from the press release of Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. So see here, peasants, attend to the words of your betters, and we shall have no more talk of “illegal” spying.

Not to be outdone, The Other McCain assures his conservative base that Snowden, rather than a hero, is a traitor who deserves the firing squad, hanging, and torture, with the only thing to be debated is the order of those punishments. Says he: “I don’t see any crime at NSA, beyond the negligence that put a high-school dropout in a position to decide what secrets the U.S. government is permitted to keep.”

And this: “Twitter Poll: #Snowden — Guantanamo or Leavenworth?”

These headlines reveal why we’re seeing so much venom aimed at Snowden:

More Americans see man who leaked NSA secrets as ‘patriot’ than traitor: Poll

Americans Disapprove of Government Surveillance Programs

Compare those headlines with this one:

Lawmakers see Edward Snowden as a leaker, not as a hero

So once again, it all comes down to defending the status quo. Our rulers in DC are a little nervous these days. Their machinery of control – that’s what government surveillance is all about, NOT keeping you safe – is despised more than ever. The regime’s legitimacy is at stake here, and its loyal servants know it. Therefore, it’s time for the presstitutes to once again do what they do best, and that is to shame dissidents, fool the American people, and erase dangerous ideas from public discourse.

Once again, it’s the “patriotic” thing to do.

Considering the scope of Federal government’s power and the potential abuse of that power over millions of citizens of this country, the idea that a laissez-faire philosophy towards the economy can be maintains while the Feds can happily snoop into your mail or harass your civic group in complex tax law is ridiculous. It is a Sam Francis version of anarcho-tyranny where businesses are free to hire illegal immigrants but you as a citizens are being watched 24/7 to make sure you don’t violate the law. You can be felt up by the TSA at the airport but fellow in business class can plan his tax shelters with his lawyer on the flight. Or governments can seize your land for private developers under eminent domain laws yet put you in jail for protesting such actions because you made a terrorist threat.

The natural absurdities in such a system are perfect targets for Rand Paul and others to both attack and create a standard to rally around in opposition. But all these “scandals” of the omnipotent state are also valuable educations to those well-meaning citizens who don’t want to be treated as a potential spy or enemy and yet seem to also want some sort security for their lives as well. Total security is not possible, certainly not when PFCs or young hipster IT people can leak classified information almost at will. Yet you will get the total state in return for this impossible dream and then they will tell you in order to get one you have to accept the other and chase it like a hamster on a wheel.

It’s also a wake up call for Rand to realize and understand what he is getting into. If elected President someday he will inherit all of this apparatus and it can easily control him if turn him into a limping capon as it has done to President Obama. If being means being a Prisoner of the State, then it is not worth it. The disillusion which would follow would be almost heartbreaking. The meaning of a Rand Paul presidency or even candidacy has to be the deconstruction of such a state. There is no other purpose, none that which a dozen other politicians could do the same. It is the meaning of the very movement which made Rand a senator to being with.

Say what you want about President Obama but at least under him the Democrat Party is starting to make sense: total security at home and total security in economy. This wasn’t always the case. In fact the opposite was true before the Clintons and Obamas occupied the White House. This only made the party look as silly as the GOP does now, pretending you can reduce government while keeping the same level of surveillance over the citizenry. If there is going to be an internal GOP conflict it will be between those who truly wish to reduce the power of the modern state and those who have come to terms with it (even if their rhetoric still lies), not between imaginary moderates and conservatives or the “establishment” and the Tea Party. Even if a Republican doesn’t win the White House the nominating process for President will be important if only to establish who is going to ultimately win this struggle. Either the party will be a true opposition to what the Democrats have become or be it’s “me too” shadow which so many Republicans are doing right now, falling all over themselves in agreeing with the President on the need for the total state. Rand can lead this opposition but he has to overcome his own fears of politics.

Glory be to God for dappled things –
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced – fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.

Down the Buckney den the burn crashes down from the Autumn spate
The gentle hazels rustle as they bend and sway as they laden wait
My fathers they have walked this road and now I know
And yes didn’t they know
There is no great and heavy load
And now I know
And yes didn’t they know

CHORUS
Fa la-a la la la-a
We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground
Fa la-a la la la-a
We stand on Solid Ground

Across the Arlick face the amber sun beats down to tint the vivid green
I hear it wide and loud, feel it wild and proud, the way it’s always been
My fathers they have looked this way and now I know
And yes didn’t they know
No clever words we have to say
And now I know
And yes didn’t they know
CHORUS

Where is the honest truth? Where is the open soul? Where is the simple smile?
A couthie word or two for the passing stranger who may rest a while
My fathers they have said these things and now I know
And yes didn’t they know
The joy that shared friendship brings
And now I know
And yes didn’t they know
CHORUS

It’s the Land. It is our wisdom
It’s the Land. It shines us through
It’s the Land. It feeds our children
It’s the Land. You cannot own the Land. The Land owns you

The individual responsible for one of the most significant leaks in US political history is Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. Snowden has been working at the National Security Agency for the last four years as an employee of various outside contractors, including Booz Allen and Dell.

Snowden will go down in history as one of America’s most consequential whistleblowers, alongside Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning. He is responsible for handing over material from one of the world’s most secretive organisations – the NSA.

There’s a great price to be paid for resisting the Empire, and Snowden knew that when he exposed the government’s surveillance program:

He has had “a very comfortable life” that included a salary of roughly $200,000, a girlfriend with whom he shared a home in Hawaii, a stable career, and a family he loves. “I’m willing to sacrifice all of that because I can’t in good conscience allow the US government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they’re secretly building.”

Mr. Snowden, here’s a toast of Rebel Yell to a real rebel!

The fatal altercation started at a private clothing sale in an apartment in central Paris where the main attraction was the British label Fred Perry, whose polo shirts are highly sought after in France by skinheads as well as leftwingers and mods.

Fred Perry is popular with French Nationalists? Who knew? In America, I associate Fred Perry with hipsters. It’s that whole “ironically” retro thing. Sort of like Original Penguin. If it’s popular with skinheads and “leftwingers and mods,” then I’m not sure how that is different from saying it’s popular with youth, but maybe it is skinheads > leftwingers and mods or something like that. I saw the Fred Perry and Nationalist relationship mentioned in a couple of other places as well, so it must be a known thing.

Anyway, I have long thought that it would be useful if conservatives in America had a brand that we could wear as something like a badge. Conservatives in America are a heard of cats compared to Nationalists in Europe so I doubt such a thing would ever catch on, not to mention that most American conservatives probably think excessive concerns about attire are the province of leftists, homosexuals and women. It might be more realistic for American conservatives to identify with a certain style instead of a certain brand.

Any suggestions for brands or styles?

Addendum: Linda Bean, the L.L. Bean heiress, is reportedly a big Ron Paul supporter. L.L. Bean (classic, traditional, conservative in the non-political sense) might be a good place to start.

Addendum II: I Yahooed “Fred Perry popular with French Nationalist” to see what else I could find on the story. Apparently the French version of the Huffington Post (Who knew there was a French version of the Huffington Post?) has a story on the association of Fred Perry with “extremists” both left and right. However, it’s in French which unfortunately I can’t read. Here is how it is described in a English language reference to the story:

Also, the Huffington Post explores why Fred Perry is a brand popular with extremist groups on both left and right.

Can anyone here read French? Walter, are you listening?

Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault has asked the interior minister to take steps “immediately” to dissolve the [right-wing] Revolutionary Nationalist Youth (JNR).

However the leader of the JNR, Serge Ayoub, has denied any links to Meric’s death.

According to Euronews:

Ayrault said the government was looking into whether other far-right groups could be dissolved and reiterated his promise to “cut into pieces” neo-Nazi and fascist groups in France.

The National Front has described the killing as, “appalling”.

Would Ayrault start such a witch hunt in reaction to anarchist or Muslim crime?

Addendum: This reminds of Spike TV’s Deadliest Warriors episode, Aftermath – I.R.A. vs. Taliban. Who wins? Most likely the side that doesn’t use violence.

But I’d bet the Carolina Princess doesn’t mind lots of things normal people would find repulsive.

When the Internet, in its Second Form, was rolling in the mid-90s, an MIT Professor, J. Orlin Grabbe found himself a star—if only because he had content on interesting subjects written from an Againstist perspective.  He likely drove Jim Norman, then a Forbes editor, mad, as Norman flamed out with a delirious tale about why Vince Foster met an early demise. 

Anyway, no child of that time period failed to learn about Inslaw, PROMIS, and the dark entity, Echelon,that was already watching us on the Internet–Danny Casolaro and the Octopus–right?One just ceased to care.

Nevertheless, it is important to recall that the case of Inslaw and its stolen PROMIS software reached the floor of Congress when murder was alleged.  Wired does a decent write up, with a little less drama.

In the aftermath of 9/11, it was reported by Fox News and the Washington Times, that Al-Qaeda had used blackmarket PROMIS to move funds.

Glenn Greenwald seems to have a need for conflict.  His last act as a lawyer was to represent Matt Hale, head of World Church of the Creator, in Hale’s defense against charges of conspiracy to murder a federal judge. I have always had my doubts about Greenwald’s climb, but taking a credit for the leak of the PRISM program makes those points moot.  While nothing was learned—really, a shock, the gubmint is tracking communication?—there is now a moment of promotion.

 Questions will continue as to what is the purpose—national defense of course, watching the bad guys.

 This misses the point entirely.  The purpose is retroactive—to have the potential to form a case after the threat produces itself.  The misdirection suggests future crime, when really, the government only looks backwards and trusts it has the tools to produce enough ‘damning’ things to neutralize potential threats.

And BTW, watch the movie, (streaming on Netflix) The Lives of Others.

At the present, an older set of sleuths are looking for a connection between PROMIS and PRISM—hint look-up VT-PRISM.

1998 article from Govtech: The Letter and the Spirit 

“Com Squared’s UNISearch is a customized solution for data-intensive problems. The solution had to work hand-in-glove with the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS), the city’s ongoing data warehousing project comprised of VT-Prism and Inslaw software on an IBM mainframe.”

Hey, it’s a start of inquiry.

President Putin elaborated on his decision: “All my activities, all my work is being done in the public sphere, with absolute publicity. Someone would like it, someone would not, but some people are just absolutely incompatible with this,” he said, adding that his wife had been “standing the watch” for nearly nine years.

It sounds like Putin has become a workaholic, devoting his life to Russia, and Lyudmila didn’t enjoy the resulting lifestyle, as well as publicity. The marriage was sacrificed as a result.

I fear workaholism is a serious affliction of the US and Europe, most lacking the worthwhile cause Putin serves. Unlike many though, Putin did produce two daughters, who are now in their mid-20s. And 30 years of marriage is something.

Laurel Loflund put it well at Faith and Heritage:

Only you must think past today, think past the days when your present or future children prepare to leave the nest and begin their own families. What is the best use of your time, your money, when looked at through the lens of family survival and growth?

Too many Americans are workaholics, devoting themselves overmuch to causes or to monetary pursuits. A proper balance is needed.

A box like this should in theory give Finns a sense of nationalism, and it tells a mother someone cares, even if the father has abandoned her. Perhaps my pointing this out will bring a leftist activist to modernise the pack into being more ethnically neutral, though I doubt my post will be noticed. However, it’s worth pointing out to American readers that a government expenditure of this type can be positive.

Would a maternity pack be feasible in America? No, we’re an entirely different type of state and populace (diverse).

This hindering of free speech goes too far, but such firm recognition of communist atrocities is a welcome break from the usual “party line” of our own press, which repeats how suffering only results from nationalism and religion. The Khmer Rouge was communist, atheist. Its leader, Pol Pot, had been a member of the French Communist Party.

Despite only 4 years of power, the Khmer Rouge holds the record for highest percentage of a population killed by a government. And the nightmarish scenario is paralleled by other communist powers, such as the Soviet Union, China, and Yugoslavia. Communism is estimated to have killed more than 100 million people in the 20th century. The Soviet Union, responsible for the majority of this, killed or persecuted many of the Russian Orthodox leadership and pursued an ideology of atheism, which was taught in the schools. A resurgence of religion was used during WWII to fight Germany, but Khrushchev resuscitated the antireligious campaign in 1959.

Naturally, Max Boot, the toadiest of them all, is trying to assure the peasants that yes, it’s true your government is spying on you, but hey, it’s a good thing. Is it legal? You betcha – the USA Patriot Act, he writes, gives the government sweeping authority to snoop on anyone it deems suspicious. That settles that!

Is there anything we should be angry about here? There sure is, says Boot: “The only outrage here is that the Guardian has disclosed such a highly classified program.”

That’s because REAL AMERICANS – you know, the ones that spit bile whenever the government decrees an official Two Minute Hate – should demand the firing squad for anyone who reveals embarrassing truths about their government. If that’s not patriotism, then what is? And who better to instruct Americans about the true meaning of patriotism than a Russian immigrant who openly endorses American Empire?

OK, I’m kidding. Well mostly kidding. I primarily needed an excuse to post about the Spurs.

Normally I root for the home team, as all paleos should. I root for the Georgia Bulldogs. I root for the Atlanta Falcons. I root for the Atlanta Braves. I root for the Atlanta Hawks. But I also root for the Spurs. I was stationed in San Antonio for a substantial part of my Air Force career, and during that time I became a fan of the Spurs, so I have a legitimate reason to root for them. So no one should accuse me of bandwagon jumping. (If the Spurs ever play the Hawks in a NBA Finals, I’ll have a delimma.)

People say the Spurs don’t get enough love nationally because they play in a small media market, and that’s true, but there is a flip-side of that. In San Antonio there are no other pro teams. The Spurs are the only pro game in town. For that reason they are embraced and dearly beloved by the city.  It is hard to live in San Antonio for any period of time and not become a fan of the Spurs.

For the record, I don’t hate the Heat despite their artificialness. (I do hate the Yankees.) For one year as a child (1st grade) I lived in Homestead, Florida (It’s a long story.), so I have always had a bit of a soft spot for Miami teams as well, the Dolphins in particular. Last year I actually rooted for the Heat because I wanted LeBron to get the championship monkey off his back so people would stop talking about it.

Anyway, all that said, GO SPURS!

Update: 1 down, 3 to go!

What is now called “conspiracy theory” was the proper mindset offered to those who were “educated.”  The purpose of educating a certain segment of folks on how things really were, was to encourage order by showing the ways of the world, and not to be shocked by it.  That virtue still mattered, even if one became part or some adjunct of the elite.

Of course, this was not our time.

The reader likely missed that the owner of the Venice, Florida area flight school that trained, amongst others, Mohammed Atta, one Rudi Dekkers, was arrested last December on charges of attempt to traffic heroin  (and where does the H come from?).  What should have been, at least, a worthwhile footnote, barely registered.

This past week, a FOIA court battle, forced the FBI to concede that a local Venice, Florida, Saudi family (of some import) was quite familiar with the 9/11 hijackers, and ingesting the syntax, the FBI had lied about their supposed lack of knowledge,

After the story broke, the FBI acknowledged its investigation but claimed it found no evidence to connect the Ghazzawis or the al-Hijjis to the hijackers or the 9/11 plot. Agents maintained, too, that the FBI made all of its 9/11 records available to Congress.

The Freedom of Information lawsuit was filed last September, after the FBI declined to release any records on the matter.

In March, as the case moved toward trial this summer, the Bureau unexpectedly released 31 of 35 pages it said had been located. The partially censored records flatly contradict the FBI’s earlier public comments and state that the Sarasota Saudis had “many connections” to persons allied with the hijackers.

and further, withheld the information from the 9/11 Commission.

The educated man doesn’t assume that the numerous hay-makers thrown at the “official story” finally landed a punch, as he considers that perhaps, particularly in light of the assault on the IRS at this moment, there is some broader agenda in play.

There are always more layers…

Most organizations founder because they lack self-definition and a definite goal. The League of the South is a Southern Nationalist organization whose ultimate goal is a free and independent Southern republic. To reach this goal, we intend to create the climate for a free South among our people by 1) de-legitimating the American Empire at every opportunity; 2) by proving our willingness to be servant-leaders to the Southern people; and 3) by making The League of the South a strong, viable organization that will lead us to Southern independence.

While our overall strategy–short, medium, and long range–is determined by the President, the Board, and our State Chairman, our tactical operational focus is on the local level. We intend to form active chapters in every county in every Southern State, and as many chapters as possible in non-Southern States. We also encourage individuals and families to personally secede from the corrupt and corrupting influence of post-Christian culture in America. We call this “abjuring the realm,” and it’s a real and dramatic first step all of us can take by simply withdrawing our support of and allegiance to a regime that has imperiled our future.

While we seek to use shame and contempt to de-legitimate the institutions controlled by the Empire, we must not stop there. We must create our own parallel institutions to which our people can attach their loyalties. A good example of this is the move out of the “public” schools and into home schooling or the establishment of our own private academies. Also, the League sponsors weekend Hedge Schools and week-long summer institutes to educate our people.

At present, the League is more concerned with resurrecting our cultural base than with entering into the political arena. Once our Southern culture is re-established, then the political issues will begin to take care of themselves. Good leaders flow naturally out of a healthy culture; however, power-hungry, self-seeking politicians are all we can expect from the debased cultural climate we have today.

The League of the South seeks leaders who have the hearts of servants. The Bible tells us clearly that no man can lead until he is willing to serve his fellowmen. When you join our organization, we expect you to begin immediately serving our cause and our people. We will show you how.

Our revised website, www.dixienet.org, is a cutting-edge, interactive site filled with a wealth of information. We are presently working on an operations manual for new members and local officers. New members are provided a list of State Chairmen for our organized States. We strongly advise our new recruits to contact their State or local officers, offer your talents, and make plans to attend your local and State chapter meetings. There you will be shown how to put the League’s strategy into effect by means of our tactical operational plan. You also will meet our leaders, get to know other members, and become part of a real community dedicated to a noble cause. If you live in a State or locality that does not have an organized chapter, this website has a document (listed as “How to Form A County Chapter” under our Introduction on the Main Menu) that shows you how to form and run a local chapter.

All League members receive the Southern Patriot newsletter every other month. Read it closely to keep abreast of League activities and projects.

By joining The League of the South you have placed yourself among a group of men and women who are not content to sit by and allow their land, liberty, and culture be destroyed by an alien regime and ideology. You have joined an active organization that knows where it wants to go and how to go about getting there. The League is no place for the lazy or the faint-hearted. We would love to welcome you to our growing band of Brothers and Sisters. Please join us today.

For Southern independence,
Michael Hill
President

Anyone reading of the decline of America disproportionally finds Jewish names, and these should be listed, made known. Just as Germans so fear being called “Nazis” that they embrace liberalism, pay reparations, will do practically anything to not be called a Nazi; it’d be wonderful if Jews were similarly put on the defensive, striving to prove they don’t hate the West.

However, theories as to why Jews attack should not be tolerated. Blogs should remove accusations that Jews are evil as a group. Not only is it false, but it pushes Jews to attack even more fiercely, pushes Jews who weren’t previously enemies into becoming such.

If you tell a German you’ll accept him if he proves he’s not a Nazi, he’ll build you a Holocaust museum. If you tell a German his race is evil, that nothing he does could ever redeem him; he’ll fight you.

Furthermore, it paints us as the aggressors, and as crazy, when we create theories as to why Jews attack. This is to say, theories drive away Gentiles who’d otherwise listen.

Anti-Semitism, in the true sense of the word, isn’t needed. The theories should be censored away. There are Jews who side with the West, Paul Gottfried is a leading example; and it would be wonderful to have more join.

But if social justice was all there was to it, why are Jews in favor of displacement-level immigration and multiculturalism in the Diaspora in the West but resolutely opposed to such policies in Israel?

…

But that is a mistake. Banning honest discussions of Jewish power is the linchpin that protects Jewish power. Joe Sobran and Wilmot Robertson noted this long ago, and it remains true today.

…

And although Chait expresses concern that Biden’s ideas will be used by “anti-Semites,” I don’t think he should be too worried. There’s probably not more than 1/1000 Americans who are aware of his comments. I can’t even find the entire original speech anywhere.

The Chait reference is to here.

Best article I’ve seen on this topic. I can’t locate the complete speech online either.
