'Annie Robertson Allison is kin to both Confederate and Union soldiers,
but she is outspoken in her belief that the Stars and Stripes should be honored above the Confederate flag. "I'm a Southerner, but first I'm an American," said Allison, who
is a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. "While we pay homage to our Southern heritage, the American flag
takes precedence over the Confederate flag."'
Imagine if the Spanish people of old had adopted this attitude
after they were conquered by the Moors. For 700 years they were ruled by Muslims, so surely at points it would have been tempting
to adopt a servile attitude like Mrs Allison above. What if they had said, 'I'm a proud Spaniard but first I'm
a Moor now. We should honour our Spanish heritage, but the Moorish banner takes precedence over our Spanish flag.' To
those hold-outs who were strong enough to maintain their dream of self-rule, no doubt some Moor or turn-coat was
always around to jeer, 'You lost. Get over it. Stop living in the past.'
Honouring the Cause of the South's
independence and the sacrifice of those who lost everything defending that Cause is surely noble for a Southron today. However,
then turning around and hailing the flag of the Empire which destroyed the dream of that Cause and continues to this day to
abuse and rule over the South makes no sense at all. It is both self-mocking and self-defeating.
'Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, emerging from a meeting with
central bankers from across the world, said that the U.S. government will buy stock in troubled banks rather than simply
buying up toxic mortgage-backed assets. The rescue/bailout package passed by Congress recently gives the Treasury the authority
to buy shares of banks. By purchasing shares, Paulson hopes to increase capital available to banks.'
Of course
it was the Federal Reserve which set up this financial melt-down with their boom-and-bust policies. The Fed has no real money
with which to buy stock from failed businesses - it simply prints more paper or moves zeros from one column to another, either
way driving down the value of the dollar. The source of this problem, government intervention and incompetence, remains and
will only get worse with this 'rescue' from the central banks.
'The world financial system is teetering on the "brink
of systemic meltdown", the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned in Washington. Dominique Strauss-Kahn
said rich nations had so far failed to restore confidence....'

How to Lose an Election Badly - McCain's Latest Moves
Unable to forward a platform of any substance other than perpetual war around the globe and massive socialism at home (hallmarks
of neo-conservatism), the McCain camp is lashing out with character attacks on Obama. This is the sign of a campaign with
no ideas - and no direction.
'Republican efforts to link Sen. Barack Obama to William Ayers, a member
of a 1970’s anti-war terrorist group, will increase Friday when a new ad from the Republican National Committee hits
the airwaves.'
'A prominent surrogate for John McCain on Thursday raised Barack Obama's admitted cocaine
use as a teenager and said the Illinois senator should speak candidly about it to the American people.'
Surely
a campaign as baseless as the McCain-Palin 'team of mavericks' (another empty slogan) does not deserve the support
of true conservatives and libertarians - and doesn't deserve to win this thing. Better to lose on principle and build
for the future than to 'win' with more socialism and war.
Texas Politicians Offer Feds $100 Million to Relocate Dangerous Biological Laboratory to the Lone Star State
'Texas officials are prepared to offer $100 million in incentives
to the federal government to lure a new laboratory for dangerous diseases to San Antonio, Gov. Rick Perry said Thursday. San
Antonio is one of six finalist sites vying for the new National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, a $451 million lab that will
study some of the world's most virulent diseases. San Antonio is one of six finalist sites vying for the new National
Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, a $451 million lab that will study some of the world's most virulent diseases...DHS officials
plan to choose a site for the lab, which will replace the existing one on Plum Island, N.Y., by the end of the year. The lab
could stay on the island, but in addition to San Antonio, other possible sites include Flora, Miss.; Athens, Ga.; Manhattan,
Kan.; and Butner, N.C.'
This is an update on a story SLMNews has been covering for some time. We
often hear of the federal government bribing the States with their own money in order to further diminish the power of States
and therefore control them, but here we see politicians in Texas attempting to bribe the federal government into relocating
an extremely dangerous compound to their own State. Perhaps this is due to corruption, or perhaps it is due to the misleading
idea that more jobs will be brought to the area for local citizens; regardless, this is a disaster waiting to happen on a
number of levels. First of all, the dependence of a people or a State on the federal government (or any government)
is nothing more than the beginning of slavery. It is also a fallacy to believe that jobs will be brought to the
area for native Texans. In fact, any such positions will be filled by outsiders, only drawing in more yankee invaders.
As a Marylander, I can especially tell y'all that military bases and other government 'relocations' are
a catalyst for the even greater invasion and destruction of our Southron homeland. Kindly take a look at the areas being
considered for this 'laboratory.' With Maryland once also being considered, four of the five areas discussed
at one time or another are in Dixie. With Kansas deemed nothing more than 'fly-over' country by the ruling
elite of this empire, these 'candidates' should come as no surprise. The people of Texas and all of Dixie
do not deserve this, so I say let us end the colonisation of our homeland! These mere scraps for which some are begging
from the empire are laced with the poison of our intended demise!
'In their first debate this year, South Carolina Rep. Henry Brown
pushed back on a negative advertisement his opponent is running by urging her to "be a real Southern lady." That's
given his Democratic opponent, philanthropist Linda Ketner, a new way to raise some quick cash....
Ketner is already using Brown's line to raise money for her campaign.
"Apparently, [Brown] thinks a real Southern lady is someone who doesn't speak up," says a Ketner fundraising
appeal. "We think a real Southern lady is someone with the intelligence, gumption and leadership to create change in
Congress." Donors get a T-shirt declaring them "Real Southern Ladies for Ketner."'
'A single report by KFYI radio of Phoenix, Arizona highlights a shocking claim made by the Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD says that five million illegal aliens hold illegal mortgages.'
Another
way the Feds have destroyed us from within while planting the seeds of their own economic destruction. All hail the Empire,
right?!

Mississippi's Confederate State Flag Subject of October 2008 Forum
'On Tuesday, October 28, 2008 you are invited to the Pearl Public
Library (Old Brandon Road) in Pearl, MS at 6 pm to a discussion like no other you have attended this year! Moderated by Conversations
LIVE! radio show host Cyrus A. Webb, the panelists (Deanna Tisdale of the Jackson Advocate Newspaper, Zane Bell of Primerica
Financial Services, Dana Hampton, recording artist Eddie Wright and author Kia Stokes) will tackle the truth about Mississippi's
state flag: what it used to stand for, what some have used it for and if it has become guilty by association.'
Looks like the set-up for a hack-job on our symbols.
'US employers cut 159,000 jobs in September, the most in more
than five years, Labor Department figures show. The data also showed the nation's unemployment rate was steady at 6.1%
as more workers were added to the ranks of the unemployed than analysts predicted. The figures mark the ninth month in a row
that the economy has lost jobs.'
This is exactly what happens when we entrust those who cannot be trusted
with our well-being. With the most recent economic meddling by those in the District of Corruption, these politicians
are only setting this empire up for an even greater disaster (perhaps not so far at all) down the road. Socialism and
government 'intervention' in any sense is not the answer - an independent, limited government and individual self-sufficiency
for Dixie is.
'In a state considered the American birthplace of hunting with hounds,
George Washington's favorite sport has become a target for some Virginia landowners who say baying dogs and their owners
are trampling property rights...A big part of the friction involves loss of rural habitat due to development. In Virginia,
land is being developed at more than three times the rate of population growth, according to "Hunting with Hounds in
Virginia: A Way Forward," a state-commissioned report...The sport flourished among the Southern plantation culture and
spread to Appalachia with Scots-Irish immigrants.'
At first glance, this may appear to be an almost trivial matter, especially for individuals who have not yet had
the privilege of enjoying this activity. Make no mistake, however; this may appear to be somewhat subtle and 'tame,'
but this is yet another attack on our beloved Southron culture. We Southrons are a people with a deep connection to the land,
so why should such a proposed change - really, the eradication of our culture - be forced upon us by these yankees and their
so-called 'development?' Note how they so promptly invoke the name of property rights, only when doing so benefits
them directly - property rights protected in the very same Constitution upon which they and their ancestors have trampled
since the days of our own ancestors.
No End in Sight for Wasteful Federal Spending, Debt
'The US government's budget deficit has ballooned in fiscal
2008 to 438 billion dollars (322 billion euros), or 3.1 percent of GDP, as the economic downturn began to bite, according
to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).'
Imperialism abroad and tyranny at home - to name but only a few
examples, the blatant violation of the Constitution and our rights as citizens and as humans (including the killing of our
unborn), taxation into oblivion, a Third-World invasion, as well as the breakdown of morals and common
sense in other aspects of society - these are the foolish policies for which our money is spent. It is easy for
these corrupt Washington politicians to spend this money and ignore such unfathomable debt when it is not their money to begin
with. Considering how they benefit personally and politically from this, why would they even want to
think about being responsible? Reclaiming our liberty and independence is the only way to bring an end to this in our
Southron homeland.
If you would like to vote for about as true a Southron
patriot and as good a musician as can be imagined... here is your chance! T Warren and his band 'Proof' as
well as his former band 'Border Ruffians' have been nominated in several categories. However, time
is about to expire for voting and they could sure use your help. If you get a chance, remember T!
'For decades, Africa was rarely more than an afterthought for
the Pentagon, but last week, the newest regional headquarters, Africa Command, was established to provide responsibility for
coordinating U.S. military affairs on the continent.'
For far too long, the federal government has divided
the entire world into various spheres of influence in order to do that which empires do - control. What business does
the empire have in setting up bases in and sending troops to the African continent? As one can see throughout history
and in the District of Criminals' more recent blunders, to say the very least, nothing positive will result from this
- 'just' the potential of further bloodshed and wasted funds - all in the name of the empire. Until power is
returned to those to which it belongs - the citizens of the sovereign States and localities - and/or this system collapses, the
Southron people and the other nations of the world should not expect to see an end to this.
'An appropriations bill signed by President Bush last week allows
the controversial National Applications Office to begin operating a stringently limited version of a program that would turn
military spy satellites on the US, sharing imagery with other federal, state, and local government agencies. The government's
own watchdog agency, the Government Accountability Office, has warned in an unpublished report that the more expansive program
in the offing lacks adequate safeguards to protect privacy and civil liberties.'
Using the military against the
citizenry, like virtually everything the federal government does, is unconstitutional. I'm sure that our 'keepers'
will seek to rationalise this program in the same manner as they always do - to 'protect' us - but make no mistake
as to its purpose. Aside from this blatant constitutional violation, does anyone NOT find this disgustingly
overcentralised government's attempts to spy on and likely further violate our rights disturbing?
In their wildest, most terrifying nightmares of a tyrannical government, I submit that our ancestors still would
not have been able to envision one like the one under which we live.
Sikhs in Dixie: Alien criminal claims prison haircut 'violated his rights'
'An inmate, backed by members of his faith and the American Civil Liberties Union, claims some Duval County corrections
officers violated his religious rights by forcing him to cut his hair. A group of Sikhs protested in front of the jail
Sunday, saying that forcing Jagmohan Ahuja to cut his hair while in jail is against his religion. "It's completely
against our religion to cut any hair on your body as it's an integral part of your body," said Jaspreet Singh of
United Sikhs.'
Of course, had this alien remained in his own land his hair could be as long as he wants. And
had he not become a criminal in the State of Florida he could let his hair grow until it touches the ground.
But failing to remain in his own culture, having come to Dixie, he felt the need to break our laws. And now that he is caught
and serving his punishment, he complains that 'his rights are violated' by a simple haircut and shave. Some people
have all the nerve!
'Despite facing a 16-count indictment on racketeering and soliciting
bribes, Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) still has another political lifeline. The scandal-plagued congressman finished in first
place in a seven-candidate primary field, and will be facing television reporter Helena Moreno in the November runoff.'
'It is a official. A bill with no constituency, and fierce opponents
in virtually every active political camp in the country, has passed the Congress. The fattened up, pork project now known
as the "bailout" is the least popular bill I can remember passing in my life time.'
'The bodies of 10 more murder victims have been found by police
in the Mexican city of Tijuana, where gang violence has escalated recently. Five of the latest victims were found in an abandoned
van near a shopping centre and the decapitated bodies of two others were found by a road.'
