In honour of our secession, we need to celebrate the whole idea of secession. We need to celebrate the tar and feathering of British customs (tax) officials. We need to protest the militarization of the States, we need to celebrate the right to bear arms along with freedom of speech. It is a day to exercise your liberties. You can praise them, but that is not the same as exercising them.

In Texas we can celebrate the independence of our people from Spain, Britain, Mexico, and the Yankees . We have much to celebrate. If you really want to celebrate, do something to further secession and celebrate it.

If Iraq can celebrate “National Sovereignty Day” and Honduras celebrates being free of a dictator, perhaps it is time we need to celebrate our “National Sovereignty Day” as well.

Here is a list of the CONgress critters that voted for higher energy bills, mandatory home inspections and other silliness.

Henry Cuellar
Lloyd Doggett
Charlie Gonzalez
Al Green
Gene Green (who sold out the refineries of Texas)
Ruben Hinojosa
Eddie Bernice Johnson
Sheila Jackson Lee
Silvestre Reyes

If any of these are your CONgress Critter, you will know who to blame when there is a knock at your door for your inspection, when you pay more for fuel and electricity, and other maladies. Do not cry about the oil companies, rising taxes, gasoline prices-Vote them out of office. They are the ones to blame and hold accountable!
They sold you out. They do not value your freedom. They do not care about the sanctity of your home. They do not care about whose privacy they invade. They do not care about Texas or Texans. Remember them come 2010.

While the CONgress critters were selling their souls on cap and trade, the regime was handing down dictates on energy standards for such household items as lamps, ceiling fan light kits, dishwashers, clothes dryers and other items. Make no mistake, the Hussein regime is pushing us into a third world existence.  The American household will be changed by his meddling. Rather than secure the borders and taking care of their responsibilities, they prefer meddling in areas that according to the Constitution, they do not have the authority to meddle in, but much like his other comments, that is an “worn out argument” and old way of looking at things.

“There are still fellow citizens, perhaps neighbors or even family members and loved ones, who still hold fast to worn arguments and old attitudes,”

Folks, it is clear, the head of the Hussein regime refers to the Christian values as “worn arguments and old attitudes”.  It can not be much clearer. He does not regard Biblical authority. He does not share the same values, he does not respect those with different values. If you do not agree with his view of the world, he regards you as ‘wrong’, or having ‘worn arguments’ or as having ‘old values’. If he refers to Christianity as ‘old values’, I shudder to consider what are the ‘new values’.

The Usurper’s statement makes it clear that the empire has gone onto the offensive in the culture war. The regime is attacking Christianity and Southern culture with a vengeance. Bear in mind that in 1980, women did not serve in combat, homosexuality was a pathology (and sin), traditional marriage was the norm and the nation did not control guns, electricity or toilets. Has human nature changed that much in 25 years or have social engineers redefined what is ‘acceptable’ ? The government has gone in the wrong direction, when it now tries to micromanage our lives and attack the values and culture of Southrons.

The culture war that Buchanan warned of is now upon us in full scale assault. It is sad the the regime is attacking traditional values with great zeal. The ideas of the one man one woman marriage, the Confederate flag, free speech, moral absolutes, right to bear arms, or America being a “Christian” nation are now all passe according to the regime. They have constructed a control grid of volunteer slave labor camps,  lifestyle change police, control grid of medical information, control grid of healthcare, control grid of energy, etc. These control grids amount to the culture war getting ready to ratchet things up.

Sometimes it helps to look around and realize how much things have changed, how many freedoms have been lost, and how sick the administration is.

Is it any surprise that Cuba, Chavez, the UN and Hillary Clinton are crying “foul!”. It was not a coup, but rather an ouster of a politician who was not playing by the rules. The proper legal steps were taken to remove him from power. No wonder the Hussein regime is upset. Much like the various kingdoms were threatened by the American Revolution and what it meant, many despots around the world are concerned with events in Honduras. How dare the people set up a government “of the people, by the people and for the people”.  It is ironic how with leftist double-speak, Chavez and other leftist leaders talk about their support for “democratic” government in Honduras, but do not like the idea of the military and the people ousting someone who is not one of theirs. They want “democracy” , NOT a nation where the people are ruled by law or select their leaders. The socialist refer to the situation as a “coup”, whereas others refer to it as an “ouster”. Is it any wonder that the democratic underground trouble makers are already planning protests in front of the Honduran embassy to reinstate the despot Zalaya.

The Honduran ouster raises other questions as well. Where else does one find a political leader cramming policy in an unconstitutional manner down the peoples throats? Where else does one find a political leader who is in fear of his position due to his bypassing Constitutional requirements? Hmmmm…

It is shameful that the people and military of Honduras respect the law more than the United States government does. Even Zalaya praised Obama on his election, but within weeks warned the empire not to interfere in Honduran matters. Zalaya was addressing the need for non-intervention as late as the first part of June. Ironic how now he wants the Hussein administration to “do something”. If the United States had the military that Honduras has, the usurper would be out of office by now.

PS. Things just keep gittin’ better and better. In the latest, the Honduran government claims that Zelaya has been a mover and shaker in smuggling cocaine into the united States . Hmmm.. How does the administration deal with this? Cracking down on guns, claiming they are going across the border to Mexico and then pressuring Honduras to take the drug trafficking leader back. Although the Hussein regime is avoiding high level meetings with the deposed leader, they are exerting pressure. Here is there chance to STOP cocaine trafficking, and instead, they want to harrass the public with harsh laws and complain about a symptom of the problem while supporting the high level drug lord. It does not matter that thousands are marching in support of the new leadership, the empire wants the old corrupt leader respected and empowered.

What does this mean to Southrons? It means more financial affirmative action. It means that all the talk about equality means nothing. It means the regime is into micromanaging the empire. The regime knows that in controlling the money, they control the people, hence they promote programs to micro-manage the finances. It was necessary to provide loans to the banks, not so much to prop them up, but to gain control.

As Southrons, we need to patronize local banks whenever possible. We need to avoid purchasing ANY government securities or bonds. We need to withdraw our consent to their financial machine. The Kingston Trio sang “I don’t give a daman about a greenback dollar”.  We need to recognize that the greenback is one of the ways they gained control. It was the same greenback that Salmon Chase declared was ‘legal tender’. That same Samuel Chase who subverted the Constitution and US law with the ruling in Texas v. White.

They (The Hussein regime) are also using debt to force the States into their program. They are masters at using debt for control.

Bohmfalk is claiming that his act is protected free speech.Since the landmark case of Johnson v. Texas (a case in which a protestor at the Republican Convention in Houston burned a flag. The case went to court and the ruling was that such burning was ‘protected speech’) occurred in Texas, Mr. Bohmfalk has some legal precedents behind his position.

It will be interesting to see how the court reacts. Will the court rule that the Mexican flag deserves more protection than the striped banner?  Would Mexican courts allow Mexicans to burn a Texas flag? How is it the Mexican flag has more fans and supporters on this side of the border?

 A Revolutionary Act

Thomas Moore

Today I committed a revolutionary act. It had nothing to do with firearms or marksmanship training. I didn’t organize a protest march or join the Underground. In fact, it had nothing to do with politics, except in the broadest possible sense. But it was revolutionary nonetheless. Today I finished spring planting.

How can such a benign activity be revolutionary, you may ask. In a sane and normal world it wouldn’t be. People have grown their own food from the beginning of the world. Agriculture has always been the foundation of civilization and the farmer a benefactor of mankind. But today we don’t live in a sane and normal world. The criminal Regime we live under is not content just to rob us of our liberty, our property, our dignity and humanity. It also seeks to control us by controlling the food supply. It seeks to strip us of food self-sufficiency and make us dependent, first on the central state, through food stamps, for example; and second, on the state’s real masters, the giant agri-businesses who determine Federal food policy. I call this process food fascism.

No doubt the word fascism has been abused, like racist, sexist, and anti-Semite. We Southerners in particular are familiar with the elites’ use of these epithets to demonize us. But “fascism” is not mere name-calling. I’m using its precise and original meaning, and on good authority – Benito Mussolini, the founder of Italian fascism himself. He said, “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power.”

However, there’s a significant difference between the 1930s and today, and the difference is the key to understanding the politics of the modern American Empire, especially food politics. Under Hitler and Mussolini, the corporations did the government’s bidding, but in today’s America, government does the corporations’ bidding. Big multinationals, in this case Monsanto, ConAgra, Cargill, and ADM, buy political influence through their lobbyists who “bundle” huge campaign contributions. They contribute heavily to think tanks and universities that influence policymaking. Their staff scientists and lawyers circulate between corporations and key jobs in regulatory agencies. Is it any wonder the kept whores of government make laws and regulations that benefit “industrialised agriculture” instead of you and me?

Michael Pollan, well-known food author and expert (The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto) points out that under the guise of promoting nutrition and health, “…the US Congress is hell bent on introducing laws with global reach that would destroy the very basis of people’s food security and food sovereignty.” One example much in the news lately is HR 875, the so-called Food Safety and Modernization Act of 2009. If enacted, “…it would effectively hand over control of America’s food supply to such a nefarious giant as Monsanto and its lesser counterparts such as Tyson and Cargill,” according to Natural News. When the Feds stick it to us, it’s always in the name of safety or security. Then there’s HR 759, the Food and Drug Administration Globalization Act. It could cripple small farmers by imposing recordkeeping requirements that currently apply to food processors, and also by requiring all farms to become certified in “best agricultural practices.” These practices, ostensibly aimed at controlling microbial contamination, would place a disproportionate burden on small family farms in the name of regulating the large factory farms where most food-safety problems originate. HR 814 and SR 425 are supposed to prevent the e. coli bacteria in spinach, meat from “downer” (diseased) cattle in school lunches, feathers in chicken patties, and other food disasters we’ve seen all too much of lately, but almost all of them originate on large factory farms and CAFOs, Confined Animal Feeding Operations, the horrors of which are too sickening to enumerate. Extending onerous regulations to small farms that typically are free of these problems will further undermine the smallholder and family farmer in favor of corporate agriculture and doubtless give us more toxin-laden and nutritionless food. “What people don’t realize is that if any of these bills pass, we lose. All we will have left is industrial food,” says Deborah Stockton, executive director of the National Independent Consumers and Farmers Association.

What people also don’t realize is that the big business-government marriage means the corporations now have at their disposal government force. Big Agra enriches itself at our expense; and if we refuse to bend the knee to their worse-than-useless regulations, then they get government to sic the SWAT teams on us. This is modern American fascism, and it rules over the whole economy, not just agriculture and food production. Fusing big government, big money, and big corporations creates an unlimited and unaccountable center of power. It is the program of both major parties, of Congress, and all the major Presidential candidates. Traditional politics can’t fix the problem; in fact, only feeds it.

I believe the eventual goal is the criminalization of independent farming and food self-sufficiency, including prison terms, fines, and property confiscation for farmers who refuse to hoe the row laid out for them by the food fascists. Does this seem like an exaggeration? Keep in mind that Federal power always expands beyond the plain language and original intent of any legislation. Remember the RICO statute, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations act of 1970? It was supposed to be aimed only at Mafioso bosses and organized crime. Now it’s almost never invoked against the Mafia but is used to prosecute individuals, businesses, Right-to-Lifers, and political protest groups – in short, almost anybody in almost any context. s, and terrorist organizations. In short, a Agriculture ranked high among the vital issues considered by the First Southern National Congress in December 2008. We passed a Remonstrance and Petition for Redress of Grievances noting, among other things, “Since the Great Depression, Federal law and policy have waged war against Southern agriculture, devastating Southern farmlands and impoverishing and dispossessing farm families. Regions once famous for their fruitfulness now lie depopulated and fallow. Instead of making it possible for farmers to remain productive on their own acres, Government policy encourages corporations to gobble up small farms, leaving their owners landless strangers on the land their fathers tamed.” See the full Remonstrance We petitioned the government to end the policies that undermine independent Southern farmers and impose destructive regulations and unsafe food upon us. But don’t hold your breath or delay your supper waiting for the Feds to reply. You’ll surely go hungry.

The inescapable reality of the human condition is that we have to eat. Moreover, if we want to remain healthy, we have to eat clean, safe, wholesome, and nutritious food, but you aren’t going to get this kind of nourishment from the food fascists. Perhaps in the future, perhaps in a national crisis, if you don’t comply with the government’s dictates, you might not get any food at all. History is replete with examples of dictatorships using food as a weapon, usually against their own people. Henry Kissinger, arch-criminal and myrmidon of the New World Order said it: “Control the oil and you control the nations. Control the food and you control the people.”

More than any other issue – more than guns, more than the mass robbery of bailouts and trillions for Wall Street, more than sound money versus fiat money — food fascism versus food freedom illustrates the control agenda and the true depths of evil of the Regime. For this reason, any progress you can make toward food self-sufficiency, toward raising your own nutritious, wholesome, and inexpensive food (and almost anyone can), is not only “revolutionary” in the broader sense of the word, it’s also the best way to protect yourself amid the turmoil that is breaking over our heads.

One final, personal word: This account is not just an abstract argument flowing from a sentimental tie to our Southern agrarian past. I practice what I preach. Eventually, or perhaps sooner than the word implies, I aim to live off what I can raise, supplemented by what I can shoot in the hills and catch in the creek. In so doing, I’ve found another kind of nourishment deeper than sustenance for the body, something we Southerners once understood better than most Americans – the nourishment of the soul.

I’m recovering something precious that was lost, knowing my labours are connected to the most basic and legitimate of human needs. To see the dark green tops of my potato vines first poke their heads up from their hills and see the first corn shoots appear boldly is to know peace and contentment instead of the frantic scurrying about overlaid with anxiety that is the substance of modern urban life. Raising your own food inoculates you from the confusion, rootlessness, and alienation so rampant in today’s world. It spares you from the infantilism, the narcissism, and the eternal obsession with things, mostly trivial and useless things, that ultimately spell death to the soul. You experience the miraculous almost daily, and thus come to know the Great Planter Himself more intimately. In this way too, it is a revolutionary act.

R. L. Dabney warned of such events finally coming to pass.

“Radicalism ordains that the small shall be equal to the large; the dependent shall counterweigh the independent; the vote which has nothing to lose shall dispose of the vote of him who has all to lose. The result is, that self-defense invents illegitimate modes and the unrighteous assault on property is met by the illegal use of property to protect itself until the moral corruptions in our politics fester to putrescence and dissolve the body“.

Do we not see that in our time, where the vote of those who have nothing to loose have destroyed or removed the property and wealth of those that do? Do we not see how we are no longer allowed to protect our property? Do we not see the have-not segments of society demanding more of the producers? Do we not see unrighteous assaults on our rights and property, where the empire wants to claim what is not rightfully theirs? The current regime has already destroyed more wealth than its predecessors. That destruction amounts to nothing more than a form of theft. It has stolen and destroyed more wealth than wars have, and it still wants MORE. The regime is moving fast to keep citizens from protecting themselves. The patriot is now considered the terrorist and the terrorist the American. The regime has so distorted history to where the true foundations are not recognized, while false foundations of the nation are exalted. Lies are told about the society and what is right and what is wrong. Law no longer respects moral bounds, but has taken to ruling based on numbers and who talks the loudest.
