The Gate Keepers Can't Be Trusted with Our History

On June 15th , 2018 I posted an article entitled "Dealing with the Media". The gist of the article was about how a local newspaper editor had corresponded with me stating that she could not publish an event notice for our Sons of Confederate Veterans , Confederate Memorial Day event due to the fact that the paper had received a call from someone informing them of treasonous material on our Facebook Page. The "treasonous" material was nothing more than an historic quote from Missouri Governor Claiborne Fox Jackson at the beginning of the War. Below is a screenshot of the post.

It is an interesting quote. Governor Jackson (rightfully) compares the struggle between North and South to the struggle between Colonial America and the King of England. Southerners felt the Federal Government was attempting to keep them in the Union through coercion and if it was legal for the Colonials to secede from England it was most certainly legal for the South to secede from the North.

With that in mind I found an interesting article in the Feb. 2, 1861 issue of the St. Louis Daily Missouri Republican: A story about Bollinger County, Missouri advocating secession. Bollinger County, Missouri is where the Banner Press newspaper is located. It is the same paper that accused our SCV Camp (through private correspondence ) of treason for publishing the quote made by Governor Jackson. Below is a screenshot of the archived article.

These are examples of why we must do both the research and publication of history. The gate keepers are too blind and ignorant to be trusted with the task.

Fake News and False Information On Mississippi Scalawag Flag Proposal

WREG News Channel 3 (Memphis , Tennessee) is reporting : Photo credit: WREG News 3 "Laurin Stennis’ flag design has gained so much popularity that even those who order the flag want her autograph. She matched the colors exactly to the United States flag. “I think those are wonderful colors and the symbolism is meaningful, but also this is a strong standalone but when you pair it with the United States flag they make a handsome couple,” said Stennis. Nineteen stars circle around a large star, which represents Mississippi as the 20th state to join the Union in 1817. The large star is called Bonnie Blue. Stennis had some help producing the flags with Complete Flag Source. To date, well over 2,000 Stennis flags have been sold." According to the report Stennis' asks: "Is our logo doing it’s job? I would argue absolutely not because every time it comes up we fight about and we get tense.” Okay, where to start? WREG reports that the flag is...

How We Got Here , What Can We Do?

For as long as I can remember both the Republican and Democratic parties have had their fair share of Lincoln defenders. The Republican Party was founded with the election of Abraham Lincoln thus Lincoln has been the party's trademark so to speak. The problem with this is that the Republican Party, presents itself as the party of smaller government, states rights and defenders of the Constitution and freedom. It is a problem because Lincoln was a proponent of big government, and committed acts that violated the Constitution. Ah, but defenders of Lincoln proclaim that President Lincoln had to violate the Constitution to "save the Union." This defense of Lincoln by the Republican party has been effective from the end of the War Between the States until November , 2020 At the time of America's "Civil War" one could describe the Republicans as the Liberals and the Democrats as the Conservatives. This began to change with the election of President Franklin D. R...

Revealed: SPLC Co-Founder Accused of Trying to Molest Step-Daughter

Southern Poverty Law Center Founder Morris Dees Tried to Molest Step-Daughter Chances are that if you're reading this you have heard of The Southern Poverty Law Center. The non for profit legal organization that has provided information to law enforcement and is a "go to" source of information by almost every reporter that encounters a "controversial" story. Widely known for its defense of Civil Rights the SPLC has filled its coffers defending the oppressed and exposing hate-groups, at least that is how the organization wants to be perceived. The reality is that the SPLC has made their millions by twisting the facts. They would have the public believe there is a Klansman hiding behind every tree and a Nazi at every podium. I once found myself in their crosshairs by proposing to hoist a Missouri Battle Flag at the grave of Missouri Confederate Colonel William Jeffers in Jackson, Missouri. The ironic thing about their opposition to this "hate-c...
