Bring your signs, flags and a good attitude! This will be a rally to
let South Carolina and others know we are proud of our Southern Heritage
and History! The flags at this cemetery have been removed and some
replaced with U.S. flags. This is just not right! These men earned the
right to be honoured in the correct manner. They are American Veterans
and served for their country. Come take part in this event while we still have rights to do so. For more information contact Kirk Carter-(704)806-2941 Email- pvtwilliamcarter@yahoo.com
This cemetery is a non-publicly owned burial ground supported by the
donations of descendants of those buried here. The Confederate monument
contains a tribute to "Our Confederate Dead" by Judge I.D. Witherspoon.
The cemetery began in 1829, was built on the site of the Independent
Presbyterian Church and is the resting place of many prominent South
Carolina statesmen. Two prominent York residents buried in the cemetery
are Asbury Coward, co-founder of the Kings Mountain Military Academy and
Dr. J. Rufus Bratton, head surgeon of the Confederate Hospitals in
Georgia. At least eight Union soldiers of the 7th Cavalry and 18th
infantry, quartered in York as the Army of Occupation during
Reconstruction, are buried in the southeast corner of the cemetery.

Very good article, except I have to quibble over the word “cause.” “To insist that the only cause of the war was slavery—and it was a cause of the war—obscures a number of things.” I understand that you
mean it was an historical factor, but a *cause* of the *war* it was not.
Yes, we habitually speak this way, but it’s not helpful. It’s too much
of a propaganda term as it implies inevitability and some sort of
quasi-physical “historical process” or whatever. Human beings are
exceedingly prone to rationalize war rather easily, so the words used
are very important.

War-making is not a matter of physics, but of choice. Human beings
with free will directly cause war as it is organized violence. It was
Lincoln who decided to make war on the states after they seceded, and
because they seceded. His stated goal for making war was to preserve the
Union (even at the expense of the slaves if necessary). If Lincoln did
not make war against them for seceding, then there would have been no
war.

Long term DIY camping tent thought - those above ground swimming pools
you see for sale for $200 plus, 14' diameter for example. Wouldn't
these make a decent cover for a round yurt-like tent ? Shallow - yes,
but also far more concealed then a full height tent.

Several
metal 'cattle panels', tied end to end to form a 'hoop'. Metal 'T'
posts along the edges to hold the shape. Drape pool upside over this,
forming a shallow tent. A higher center pole to push rain to outside
edges. Camoflauge or built underneath dense tree canopy, not a bad
option.

These pools develop leaks in time, and often are thrown
out because they won't hold water. In the case of a tent, not so bad,
you are holding water out of it, rather than containing. This means you
may be able to scrounge one for very little money.

The cattle
panels can be easily left out in field for pre-positioning - grass grows
right through it and they would be hard to detect unless you know they
are there.

In this week's Analysis Behind the News video, JBS CEO Art Thompson
discusses how the Confederate battle flag issue should be understood in
the context of how a conspiracy brought about the Civil War, duping both
Northerners and Southerners in the process; how the recent Confederate
battle flag banning furor serves as an example of the systematic purging
of our history by this same conspiracy; how the eradication of the
Confederate battle flag follows in the footsteps of how the Ten
Commandments are being eradicated; how it is time that more Americans
must get involved in doing something about saving what’s left of our
country, about saving our freedom of speech, our freedom of religion,
and the rest of the Bill of Rights; and how you need to do something
about it, not just talk about it.

An undercover video shot last summer by a new pro-life organization called Center for Medical Progress
purports to show the chief medical officer of Planned Parenthood of
America talking on camera about how to abort a child intact so the
child’s body parts can be transferred for medical and scientific
research.

The video was shot by a team led by David Daleiden of the Center for
Medical Progress posing as representatives of a start up biotech firm in
the business of buying fetal body parts for medical and scientific
research. Daleiden told Breitbart News, “It as remarkably easy to make
contact with Planned Parenthood” to discuss procurement of fetal tissue.

A leaked document shows nearly one-third of the 847,000 veterans in
the Department of Veteran Affairs’ backlog died while waiting for
treatment, amounting to more than 238,000 patients, according to
documents obtained by the Huffington Post.

The VA maintains that the number is so large because it has no
mechanism to purge the list of dead applicants, and that some of
the veterans may have died years ago. VA spokeswoman Walinda West
told the Huffington Post that some people on
the list may never have completed an application, or could be
using other insurance.

Yesterday afternoon I heard a black civic leader in Columbia, South
Carolina being interviewed about the just completed removal of the
Confederate Battle Flag from the statehouse grounds. The lady from FOX
who did the interview wanted to know about the satisfaction experienced
by the black leader in light of the events that had just unfolded.

Her
interviewee expressed his elation and mentioned the “unbelievable joy”
that overwhelmed the black crowd that gathered to see the hated flag
come down. “We all hugged each other,” he explained. “We would no longer
have to look at it.” This negative reaction to the flag was also
expressed by black legislators during the deliberations in the South
Carolina senate. The listener was made to believe that American blacks
were enduring a continuing nightmare that had created severe emotional
problems. It seems this neurasthenia would go on until the hated cloth
was dragged down, not only in South Carolina but everywhere else it was
displayed. Presumably black crime and social dysfunctionality would also
plummet, as all traumatizing symbols of the Confederacy were
antiseptically purged.

Today it is revealed Ted Visner
is building a commercial property, in specific “A shelter for battered
women”. This means Ted aimed to get his business through the
unconstitutional treasonous family courts that are as much a part of the
communism as any other aspect.

This is no different than the corporate miners in Galice, Oregon.
These people think they can use our militias as a strong arming tactic
to gain an advantage in the communist system that they are willing
participants in. They think that all they have to do is put on a hat
with a Gadsden emblem on it and our people will back their play.

The totalitarian socialists among us who try to disguise their true
beliefs by calling themselves “progressives” are currently in the middle
of one of their periodic fits of hyper-PC hysteria. Upon learning that
the mentally deranged, drugged-up little monster who murdered all those
people in a Charleston church had his picture taken with a Confederate
flag, the “progressives” commenced a new crusade to obliterate not only
the Confederate flag from American memory, but also the memory of anyone
in history whose views on race are not identical to theirs.

They have
even called for the demolition of the Jefferson Memorial; and the July 4
Daily Caller included an article about a Portland, Oregon
teacher at Woodrow Wilson High School in that city who has started a
campaign to rename the school. The Daily Caller refers to Wilson as “a model progressive Democrat,” which he was, but he was also a racist and a white supremacist.

Just this week. the NAACP in
Huntsville, Alabama, called for the removal of Confederate flag
symbolism from the uniforms worn by state troopers, and displayed on
trooper vehicles.

It’s not as if troopers were wearing a patch of the flag, or something so obvious.

Rather, an image of the rebel flag is embedded in the Coat of Arms of
the State of Alabama, and it’s that symbol that’s worn by troopers and
portrayed on their vehicles.

“The time is right and I just think it needs to be,” said NAACP
Huntsville spokesman Rev. Robert Shanklin, to local WAFF. “We need to do
a clean sweep. The state and local government, anywhere that that’s
located.”

Alabama Highway Patrol officials have said the determination on
whether the symbol stays or goes rests in the hands of Gov. Robert
Bentley.

The executive committee of the Boy Scouts of America has unanimously
approved a resolution that would end the organization's blanket ban on
gay adult leaders and let individual Scout units set their own policy on
the long-divisive issue. Units sponsored by churches opposed to the
change could maintain the ban if they choose.

A new study conducted at Harvard University shows that in America,
Liberals have a significantly lower IQ than Conservatives. The study was
conducted on 100,000 registered voters in 40 different states over the
last twelve years, and has concluded its results.

The first part of
the study lists the correlation between political beliefs and
intelligence. Subjects of the study were chosen at random and requested
to come to an unmarked van to take a test and answer some questions for a
reasonable amount of money.

In the wake of the recent murders in a South Carolina church, the
killer's hope of igniting a race war produced the opposite effect.
Blacks and whites in South Carolina came together to condemn his act and
the race hate behind it.

Some saw in the decision to remove the Confederate flag from in front of
the state house a symbolic repudiation of the old South's racial past
-- and the end of the Civil War. But, unfortunately, wars do not end
until both sides decide that it is over.

The black parishioners who expressed forgiveness toward the killer did
more than most of us could do, and the whites who responded with
solidarity did their part. Note how quickly this was done, by ordinary
people of good will -- black and white -- without the "help" of racial
activists like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson.

Professional race hustlers have no incentive to see our current civil
war end. They see in this shooting only an opportunity to escalate their
demands.

Racial division
largely created by the Obama White House continues to fester throughout
the nation. Over the weekend the latest example was the vandalizing of a
Confederate soldier memorial near Fort Sumter in South Carolina – a
location historians often point to as the beginning of the Civil War.

The above is a
quote by President Barack Obama during the eulogy he gave to slain South
Carolina pastor and state senator, Clementa Pinckney. The words were
among the president’s most divisive of that eulogy, ones that were
largely ignored by a media that focused instead on the president’s
singing.

Even those with a cursory understanding of the causes of the Civil War
know slavery was but one of many issues involved and was likely a
secondary one at that. It should also be noted too that Clementa
Pinckney himself gave a far more appropriate and historically honest
speech on the sacrifices of all soldiers who fought in the Civil War, both North and South just weeks before his tragic death.

I am aware of the fact that you have been embroiled in lengthy legal
battles with various organisations that want to prevent you from
changing the name of Pretoria to Tshwane. I find this extremely
disturbing and I do not agree with these organisations at all.

As a proud descendant of the Boer Nation that founded this once
beautiful, first world city, I have to insist that you change the name
to Tshwane as soon as possible.

I personally think it is an insult to the legacy of my proud forefathers
that this hell hole of a third world slum should bare the name of the
Pretorius family. I am of the opinion that it would be much more fitting
for the remnants of what was once Pretoria,
to be named after the ancestors of the people responsible for its
collapse.

The Boer people have no interest in being associated with the filthy,
crime ridden streets and the parks and squares that now reek of urine
and decay.

I sincerely hope that you will look kindly on my request to no longer
insult the name and legacy of the proud people who built this city but
do the right thing and name it after the ancestors of those who
destroyed it.

With a city nickname 'Where the Battle Wasn't,' Gettysburg, South
Dakota is the center of a social media battle over a Confederate flag on
a patch worn by police.

A memorial outside the Potter County courthouse recognizes both Union
and Confederate soldiers from the Civil War. Some say a flag from the
confederate side shouldn't be on the county seat's police patch.

"I'm sorry they feel that way. It is in no way, shape or form meant to be offensive," police chief William Wainman said.

If you live in Eastern North Carolina and can drive to
Hwy 70 next Sunday 19 July between 3:30 PM till 5:00 PM please do so.
We plane to flag all of the overpasses on Hwy 70 between New Bern and
Kinston. That will catch thousands of beach-goers as they return to
their homes in Eastern and the Piedmont North Carolina.

UNFORTUNATELY,
I must announce the removal of ALL of our products from Amazon.com!
Below my signature block is an E-mail from Amazon Services, I received
on Friday, July 10th, at 9:11 PM. In the E-mail, Amazon Services
mentions they are removing the Confederate Diaries Collection because
they consider it "confederate flag merchandise." Amazon Services also
refers me to their "Restricted Products" Policy and gives me 48 hours to
comply with the remainder of my Amazon listings or loose my selling
privileges.

I can't begin to express how disgusted I am regarding
the removal of the products and the wide-spread removal of our beloved
Confederate flag from flag poles and retailers through out the nation.
Why don't they go after porn, drug paraphernalia, alcohol, smokes, Nazi
flags, and terrorist promotional materials. Each of these does far more
damage to our society. Makes you wonder what's next .. Confederate
Statues, Monuments, Grave-sites, the Christian flag, Christian symbols,
the removal of ALL Confederate historical documents, like the ones sold
on DixieJunction.com, from the Internet, public schools. and Universities.

OUR
ACTION .. At the moment, Amazon.com only removed our Confederate
Diaries Collection, but there is no way we can comply with the rest of
our items, they are based on actual historical documents. So, in
protest, we have removed ALL of our items from Amazon.com. My opinion,
eBay will be next. Even though it will no doubt hurt our "bottom line,"
from now on, ALL of our products will ONLY be available on DixieJunction.com.

MESSAGE
to ALL .. I want to encourage ALL who read this email to patronize
Southern businesses, like ours, before buying elsewhere. Your
consideration and loyalty will help us, and others, endure the loss of
sales.

MESSAGE for SOUTHERN BUSINESS OWNERS .. I have created a Southern Business Directory on DixieJunction.com. It is FREE to list your business. Click the above link to learn more!

This
item has been identified as confederate flag merchandise. Amazon policy
prohibits the listing or sale of confederate flag merchandise. For more

**Action Required: Within
48 hours of this notice, please review your remaining listings and make
any changes necessary to ensure compliance with our policies.

to comply with this request may result in the removal of your selling
privileges. We appreciate your cooperation and thank you for selling on

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

Core Creek Militia

==============================My sixth great grandfather, his wife, and five of his six children were killed in battle with the Tuscarora Indians at Core Creek, NC.

The Seven Blackbirds

==============================My third great grandfather was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War, and saved his unit's flag after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He was also at Kingston (Kinston), Wilmington, Charleston, Two Sisters and Augusta. He was at the defeat at Brier Creek and also Bee Creek.

Requiem Aeternam -
Eternal Rest Grant unto Them
==============================
My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
