Time Magazine recently ran a series of article on who they think are the worst Vice Presidents in history. Once more, political correctness steps in and distorts history. Their first choice was Aaron Burr. They identify the duel with Hamilton and the trial for his invasion of Mexico as reasons for his receiving this honor.

Bear in mind, that in those days, the Vice President was the candidate who received fewer votes than the other candidate running for President. It took 36 rounds of voting before Jefferson was elected President and Burr Vice President.

The argument with Hamilton occurred after Hamilton accused him of wanting to take the State of New York out of the Union with a secession measure. Since Hamilton was a strong central government fan, he saw secession or even the threat of secession as “anathema.” Secession was a fighting word for Hamilton. The two dueled in New Jersey, since the New York laws regarding dueling did not apply there. Since they were citizens of New York, the laws of New Jersey would not be applicable to them. (Back in those days, they understood the sovereign rights of States.)He was acquitted of the charges related to the duel.

Burr believed that men and women were intellectual equals and admired the writer Mary Wollstencraft. He even had her portrait hung in his home.

He arranged to lease some land in Texas through the help of Baron de Bastrop. His plan was to settle the land. This was the same Baron de Bastrop that later helped Stephen F. Austin. Burr has also been working with the adventurer Philip Nolan in learning more about Texas and making plans for it. Burr assembled his group and was stopped before reaching Texas by General James Wilkinson, (a Spanish spy) who produced forged copies of documents then used as evidence against Burr in his trial. (Although Time makes it sound like Burr wanted his own empire, Wilkinson did have his own private army and own private army base at Contonment Wilkinson). The court saw through the forgeries and dismissed the charges against Burr.

Time has not done their homework. For an early feminist to be labeled as the worst Vice President solely based on being charged with crimes is ludicrous. Clinton was accused, and other high officials have been accused of crimes as well. It seems that the jury at Time Magazine knows better that the US courts that looked into the matter at the time.

This is another example of how important it is to KNOW SOUTHERN HISTORY!. When you know your history, you will not be so easily bamboozled by the propagandists in the main stream media.

Free Texas!

How should the world respond to South Ossetia? The region declared its independence from Georgia. NATO did not recognize its declaration of independence. Although between 98-99% of the people supported the declaration of independence, the world refused to acknowledge its independence. The nation of Georgia has been attempting to turn the South Ossetian ethnic group into Georgians. The native language and ways are discouraged in the schools. Southrons know what it is like to have their culture ridiculed, their language made fun of, and have their culture demeaned.

Much is being made of how the military is turning weapons on civilians. The Yankee troops did that to the Southern people, and the world ignored the cries of our people. Cities were emptied of their residents. Women were systematically raped, and homesteads ravaged in the name of war. Her in Texas, Corpus Christi and other coastal cities were bombarded systematically. The United States had not approved the Geneva Convention at the time, so they could not be held to a civilized standard of behavior for their actions.

In another parallel, the Georgian troops attacked in the middle of the night, killing peacekeepers and native residents of the region in an action similar to the midnight mass murders conducted by John Brown in Kansas.

In another parallel, the United States used what amounted to mercenary troops from Europe to invade the South. The United States also used foreign advisers during the war like Guissipe Garibaldi. Georgia is using the mercenary group Blackwater along with US advisers in their aggression.

The Southern culture knows first hand what it is like to have civilians attacked by  military invaders.  How is it the empire supports the indepence of Kosovo, which is not legitimate, where in South Ossetia, the people legitimatley voted for secession?

The news of conflict between Georgia and Russia yesterday was concerning. At the start of the week, the empires troops were conducting military exercises, including naval exercises. with them and by the end of the week, they are at war with the Russians. Similar exercises were conducted in the Ukraine a few weeks prior. Perhaps the timing is ironic, or perhaps it is was to provoke. Anyway you slice it, the timing is VERY suspicious.

My understanding at the present time is that the regime of the empire is supporting Georgia. Further support for Georgia is coming from Israel. Having troops massing in that part of the world, with Iran so close is like throwing gasoline on a fire.  Russia is supposedly supporting a secessionist group trying to leave the nation. It is difficult to determine if that is their real reason or if it is to justify positioning tanks and planes near Iran. I also wonder if the empire is using Georgia as an attempt to block Russia from coming in the back door of Iran, who knows.?

Our Heavenly father told us that there would be wars and rumors of wars. The President who was from Dennison, Texas but did not claim Texas (Eisenhower), warned us about the military industrial complex and the dangers of it growing too large. Is it large enough for you? How many more of your children will it use up or require in its quest for empire? When I attend dinner parties and fights break out, it is usually a time to leave. When will you be ready to leave this party?
