    Austin Texas Gun Buyback � Good ole boys got a
    brilliant idea. The Austin police started a turn your gun in for a
    debit cards good to buy food with. About 40 guys came and stood next to
    the police and offered to buy guns for cash. They got about half the
    guns. Some of the guys said they got some pretty good deals. This kept
    the guns in circulation and were not destroyed. What a great idea and I
    hope it catches on. By the way the police were very polite about the
    whole thing and they ran out of food cards leaving the guys even more
    opportunity to buy guns cheap. The article did not state if the
    civilian gun buyers were armed on not. The buyers are going to give the
    guns to those who want one but cannot afford one. Wow the law of
    supply and demand in operation constitutionally. I applaud these
    valiant gun buyers.
    Here is a link to the gun buyers website:

    <br style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">San Diego Police Checkpoint Protests � Activists
    have a phone tree that notify each other of the locations of police
    checkpoints. The concerned citizens will then gather a few blocks
    preceding the checkpoint and display signs warning other motorists of
    the checkpoint. The signs would say checkpoint ahead or car thieves
    ahead. The blue knights in the interest of preserving their evil ways
    pulled over people who turned to avoid the checkpoint. They impounded
    their cars and arrested those avoiding the checkpoint. The cops look
    like they are winning. They are too stupid to realize they are
    destroying their image and wiping their feet on the rights of the
    people. Give it a little while and watch what happens to cops that use
    these tactics on the most heavily armed civilian population in the
    history of the world.

    Police and Sexual Assault � Police officers
    are accused of sexual assault at the rate of 79 per 100,000 officer.
    The general population rate is 28.7 per 100,000. Their rate of being
    accused for sexual assault is more than one and one half times the rate
    of the general population. They are making mistakes that are going to
    haunt them by violating the rights of the people. Once again: give it a
    little while and watch what happens to cops that use these illegal and
    unconstitutional tactics on the most heavily armed civilian population
    in the history of the world. Same day's news haul:

    FP is all abuzz about some Foreclosuregate stuff in Arizona, exulting in the power of the net, and taking some measure of credit for it -- rightly, no doubt. Anybody want to sign up and get us the lowdown?

    A pair of Republican lawmakers was on the defense yesterday after bloggers began weaving a tale of conspiracy, alleging a piece of real estate legislation was killed in exchange for a lawsuit against one of the lawmakers being settled. But according to the two lawmakers, the issue is an overblown case of coincidence and ignorance about ...

    Reply just in from a compadre about his radio call-in ministry. This is professional-level work, but alas, there's no such thing as a professional radio caller -- only noecon radio blimps, et al.

    <div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">Nelson,</font></div>
    <div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">Tony used to instantly reply to all of my
    emails. Now he usually ignores the ones about Israel's crimes but he
    still answers most of my political emails.</font></div>
    <div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">I think he gives me alot of time on the air
    because I use verbal judo. I try to never appear emotional or angry. My
    attitude is "look what I have just discovered and want to share with
    you." That works much better for me than sounding mad and telling him
    off. ( Not that you ever did, I am just trying to explain what I think
    works for me.)</font></div>
    <div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">I called at 7:30 today to introduce a new
    topic, Ed Schultz being suspended from MSNBC for calling Laura Ingraham
    a "right wing slut".</font></div>
    <div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">Tony talked until the 8:00 news break about
    my call yesterday about Bibi. I had told him how inconsistent he was to
    throw Mark Sanford under the bus after one affair while ignoring Bibi's
    cheating on all three wives. Tony even quoted Denice (his wife who
    works at WLFJ, " Well even if everything Bruce says is true, Netanyahu
    still gave a great speech." Wonderful, you are getting desperate trying
    to justify your inconsistency, Rev.Dr. Tony.</font></div>
    <div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">Two other callers called in today about
    Bruce. One was from Anderson and he thanked Tony for letting me tell
    the other side of the story about Jay Sekulow. He quoted me accurately
    from 5 months ago so obviously some are listening with an open mind. I
    am very careful to be 100% accurate and to never get loud and
    emotional. Facts are stubborn things, they work for me.</font></div>
    <div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">I also do my homework well in advance and
    wait for the right opportunity. I am studying now for my annual USS
    Liberty call. The anniversary of that Israeli attack is June 8. I will
    be brave because I will be right and I will know the facts better than
    Dr. Tony.</font></div>
    <div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">I welcome any calls from other patriots.</font></div>

    ‘Putz’ — AIPAC delegates expressed rage at demonstrators
    by Philip Weiss on March 7, 2012

    ......Who knows whether it matters in the long run, but it is deeply satisfying to see thousands of AIPAC delegates have to walk right by a mocked up Code Pink checkpoint, where members of the “Pink Police” with faux IDF helmets force headscarved older women to crouch on the ground while they scream out in guttural accents “No Muslims allowed—this City is for Jews Only!”

    This year’s protest were highlighted by Liza Behrendt, a spirited young woman who got inside the AIPAC conference and disrupted a session on how to combat pro-Palestinian advocacy on campus. She’s a Brandeis student and bundle of energy. On Monday, when we demonstrated outside the White House, the Park police had us sequestered behind a line about fifty yards in front of Pennsylvania Avenue. Liza was a settlement—that is she was wearing a big cardboard “settlement” building around her, and she kept “expanding,” waddling over the boundary line, twenty yards, thirty yards past into the “disputed territory. ” The Park Police surrounded her, but I think they were laughing too much to arrest her.....

    This from SHNV should warm the cockles of your heart. Surprising that Richmond has any Confederate feeling left -- Despite its illustrious history (including producing my mother and father) I've never felt a pro-South pulse there. Note again that blacks are far from uniform in their System-orchestrated and -contrived hatred of the South and her symbols!

    It has been a very busy couple of weeks for the Virginia Flaggers!

    On Wednesday, April 18th, the Va Flaggers joined the Edmund Ruffin
    Fireaters, SCV, at the 64th Annual Shad Planking in Wakefield, Virginia.
    10 Flaggers carried flags in a VERY Confederate friendly environment! We
    talked to HUNDREDS of folks about the Va Flaggers and what we have been
    doing in the Commonwealth, gave out flyers and cards, and spoke with
    political candidates who were on hand, EXCEPT for George Allen, whose
    posse made sure he stayed a safe distance from us and our flags!

    We were asked over and over again to pose for pictures with our flags
    and support was overwhelming! Kind of nice to spend an afternoon with so
    many people saluting, smiling, and whistling Dixie!

    After the photo of Grayson and Trevor and their Confederate flags made
    the press last year, signs were posted to keep flags and flaggers away
    from the stage, but it did not stop us from working the crowd, and a
    great time was had by all.

    My favorite story of the afternoon...all of the Sherriff's deputies
    working the event were black. When I arrived, I had a conversation with
    four of them working the parking lot/gate. They had asked me why I was
    carrying the flag, and I explained about the Va Flaggers, my ancestors,
    and my desire to honor them. On the way out, one of the officers smiled,
    saluted, and told me to "keep on keeping on". When the others looked at
    him, he said.."Hey, I support whatever that lady does!" Several men were
    walking near me and were incredulous when they overheard the encounter.
    They mentioned that they couldn't believe he just said that. I just
    smiled and said..."happens to me all the time..."
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    The following night, Thursday, April 19th, found the Flaggers back at
    the VMFA. 11 Va Flaggers were on hand to stand in protest of the
    removal of Confederate Battle flags from the Confederate War Memorial
    and in honor of our ancestors and our flags. The weather was good, and
    while traffic was light, good conversations were held and the colors
    were advanced for all passers-by to see.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Just two days later, Saturday, April 21st, and we are back at the VMFA!
    A BEAUTIFUL day on the Boulevard, as 19 Va Flaggers gathered to forward
    the colors and protest the VMFA. A few of us posed in front of the
    Confederate Memorial Chapel, just minutes before security caught us on
    the grounds and came out to chase us off.

    Traffic was very heavy and at many points during the afternoon, we were
    engaged in more than one conversation at a time, and most were VERY
    positive. We were fortunate to capture a few of these on video...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3qCYBfi6Sw

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaVBkruysEk

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Wednesday afternoon, April 25th found 14 FLAGGERS on the Boulevard!
    Early on, the sidewalks were packed with Garden Week attendees and these
    ladies were almost all very supportive and vowed to "march right in
    there and give the museum a piece of their minds". LOTS of good convos!

    Later, Jimmy Jones and Frank Anthony Yates tried to recapture Camp
    Grayson. They were eventually repelled by a couple of very unhappy
    museum guards, and the city cops were called to the scene. They, however
    we're repelled when Tripp Lewis and Jimmy Jones posed for pics in front
    of the squad cars.

    In the meantime, Jimmy Creech showed off his new and improved flag
    display, had many occasions to use the dixie horn, and fixed some mean
    BLT's for the hard working Flaggers. Fresh pork rinds from NC topped off
    the evening. Thanks to EVERYONE who came out to forward the colors!!!!

    We were able to get video of the Museum Security removing the Flaggers
    and another of a conversation at the Chapel...

    3rd from 4:00 - Dusk. Please join us as we continue our campaign to
    return the Battle Flags to the Confederate War Memorial/Pelham Chapel.

    SAME ISSUE of SHNV:

    DAILY CONSTITUTIONALIST [AUGUSTA, GA], July 17, 1862, p. 3, c. 2
    Carry Me a Little Farther.�At the battle of Shiloh, early in the action,
    I saw a young warrior by a tree aiming deliberately towards the enemy
    with a Sharp�s rifle, and, from curiosity, I rode up to him and asked
    him who he was shooting at. The reply was, �at those everlasting Yanks;
    I want to put an end to some of them.� I asked him why he did not
    advance, and he said, �my leg is broken, but if you will carry me a
    little further, I will kill more of them, for I have yet six
    cartridges.� This brave fellow, whose leg was afterwards amputated, was
    a young Cherokee, formerly from Tahlequah, Cherokee Nation.

    Texas college hacks government drone

    Austin, Texas – There are a lot of cool things you can do with $1,000, but scientists at an Austin, Texas college have come across one that is often overlooked: for less than a grand, how’d you like to hijack a US government drone?

    A group of researchers led by Professor Todd Humphreys from the University of Texas at Austin Radionavigation Laboratory recently succeeded in raising the eyebrows of the US government. With just around $1,000 in parts, Humphreys’ team took control of an unmanned aerial vehicle operated by the US Department of Homeland Security.

    After being challenged by his lab, the DHS dared Humphreys’ crew to hack into their drone and take command. Much to their chagrin, they did exactly that.....

    This article makes one wonder if "Friendly fire" incident like the one in this article entitled "Afghanistan: US servicemen killed in first drone 'friendly fire' incident" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-incident.html could have been due to Afghan hacking.

    He didn't mean to start anything, but it became a online movement for peace where it's needed most. I could live without Iranis slobbering over Israel, but since most people are all emotion maybe this whole thing will defang Tel Aviv and thereby help Israel go out of business -- ultimately the only solution to anything.

    HK Edgerton is a black activist who stands up for Southern heritage wearing Confederate garb. Have demonstrated scores of times with him. He sends reports from the field.

    An Open Letter & Open Report

    Dear Ms. Lunelle,
    It was my original intent to be headed into Meridian Mississippi this morning and post the Southern Cross there on Tuesday morning, January 16, 2013,*before heading on to Lexington, Va. for a planned March on Wednesday morning January 17, 2013. However, those plans quickly changed when the brakes went out on the van. Instead I decided that I would take the time to write my year end report this morning, but because of an encounter on highway 25*at a Gas Station in*Travelers Rest South Carolina and the significance of its meaning, I have decided to offer it as a*Open Report*instead.
    *
    I would reach the door of the*Gas station almost*simultaneously as a middle age man would, and open the door and ask him to enter. He would in turn thank me, and reply good morning and may God bless you. Two other men had now reached the entrance, and I would continue to hold the door open.*Stopping next to me,*the first one*would ask, " what's wrong with you'se niggers down here?*Opening doors, skinning and grinning all the while bowing down to*White folks. And look at that s--t you got on, he said pointing to my mighty fine Confederate Flag*leather jacket ?
    *
    Before I could respond, the young man behind him said. " Sir, I can tell you what's wrong with the niggers down here that you refer to. First of all, most of us can recognize Mr. HK Edgerton, and can appreciate the courage that he exhibits in not only wearing that honorable symbol that you just took the liberty of disrespecting, but also telling about the support, courage and ownership that Southern Blacks have in it. And secondly these niggers that you refer to down here still have and*display a Christian character taught to them by their parents and community that Mr. HK just exhibited. I don't know what ya'll do up there!* This mountain of a man*who was quickly*reminding me*of the Honorable Stanley Lott, ( big, soft and well spoken with a*love for the Southland* that*exuded from his conversation ) went on to tell the man that he did not like the talk about taking the Bible from the Inauguration in America, or the treatment of a Southern Pastor*for giving the exegesis contained in it*that was his First Amendment Right and duty.*Whats that got to do with me interrupted the now vexed man. Sir,*you go home and think about it. I've got to go. With his arms wide open, he would embrace me*, and say, Mr.*HK, God bless you. I never dreamed that I would ever meet you in person, and I am so glad that I did.*
    *
    God bless you Ms. Lunelle,
    ********* Your brother,
    ***************** HK
    *

    Liberals have nothing better to do than try to get rid of the Confederate flag once and for all. It's that thing about ripping away parts of real history. Probably in the future, the mulattoes will be telling how the blacks enslaved the Whites.

    Funny! And true! I was delighted to see an article at AmRen today in which blacks at Howard U. whine that the whiner-in-chief isn't whining enough on their behalf. It only took them 4.1 years to figure out he doesn't consider himself black or negro, is ultimately embarrassed to be thought of that way, and has no desire to act black in or out of government. You wouldn't either if brought up in an Oriental country -- they were or are refreshingly free of ameriKan-style PC.

    http://www.amren.com/news/2013/02/bl...-pass-anymore/

    Also at Amren today, a totally hot headline about Judicial Watch going after the SPLC specifically in its perpetual messing over of government minds!

    JW Obtains Emails Exposing Connections between DOJ and Controversial Southern Policy Law Center

    Some kind of tide is turning if a famous, possilbly DC-based organization like "JW" is going that politically incorrect. Of course, when SPLC tried to rough up the Family Research Council and other tame Christian/neocon groups its shot itself in the foot extra-hard, getting all manner of non-radical types rightly upset. Here's FRC's former chief making that nice obscene little gesture all Satan's pals love to:

    It's the bending backward of the thumbs that always assures you..... they're doing it to show fealty to Baphomet, not idly for fun.

    Rejoice greatly when Judicial Watch goes after the SPLC -- and maybe send them a check? Here's a brief summary of the group's saga

    This should be national news. Will it?

    South Carolina Citizens Plead with Lawmakers to ‘Nullify’ Obamacare; Second Hearing Needed

    Fifteen states reportedly have current moves to “nullify” the impact of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, in their states.

    South Carolina citizens had their turn Wednesday to start that process with testimony in a House Judiciary subcommittee on two bills. The three-hour time limit for the crowd of 200 to 300, however, was not long enough for everyone to be heard......


    The campaign is partly led by a young law student that I've watched grow up and tried to influence despite the ironclad pietism of his parents. Another prime mover speaks:

    Utter Contempt Absolute Subjection

    Utter contempt would be an appropriate description of the way citizens were treated today by the members of the South Carolina House Sub-committee on Constitutional Laws. As the public hearing on House bill 3101 began the chamber was filled to capacity by citizens in support of the legislation aimed at blocking the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

    The first speaker to testify was Thomas P. Crocker, a professor from South Carolina School of Law. Once he finished listing his degrees and legal pedigree, he warmed up the Sub-committee members with numerous studies of Supreme Court case law rulings and an inventive description of the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The Sub-Committee appeared to be captivated by the professor’s intellectual prowess. The members of the committee were so impressed with the testimony that they asked Professor Crocker numerous questions which lead to even more case law studies and the affirmation of the domination by the federal government and the absolute submission by the State.

    Once Professor Crocker’s testimony was completed and questions from the committee were answered, the uneducated and simple citizens were called to testify before the committee. The first speaker in favor of H-3101 was Dr. Donald Livingston, a professor of philosophy at Emory University. Mr. Livingston received his doctorate at Washington University in 1965, which may have been before Professor Crocker was born. Dr. Livingston also received numerous questions from the committee. Representative James Smith seemed fixated on Dr. Livingston’s association with the Abbeville Institute; and the controversial teachings of the importance of private property, place, piety, humility, manners, classical liberal studies, rhetoric, and the importance of a human scale to political order. Once Dr. Livingston was exposed as a racist for his belief in private property and manners, his testimony concluded.

    Dr. Thomas Kendall, a General Physician in South Carolina and the President Elect of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons also testified before the committee on the impact the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is already having on medical doctors. During Dr. Kendal’s testimony he discussed how a doctor has been convicted of the crime of miss-coding an insurance claim and is now serving time in jail for the violation of federal law. Dr. Kendall also shared his concern over the demise of the doctor – patient relationship and gave an example of a Chief Heart Surgeon in the audience that had recently resigned his position with a large hospital in South Carolina because of increased regulation. However, the questions Dr. Kendall received from the committee seemed focused on his integrity by asking him how the PPA is affecting his income. By questioning Dr. Kendall’s motive in supporting H-3101 it appeared the committee thought the doctor was more concerned about the financial impact to his practice than he was about the patient’s wellbeing. This line of questioning was absurd considering various hospital and medical associations gave nearly $250,000.00 to South Carolina House members last year and treated them to lunch yesterday before a hearing dealing with the financial impact of Mediacaid expansion.

    As other citizens testified before the committee it became obvious the committee members were simply going through the motions of conducting a public hearing. The level of contempt for citizen participation in the legislative process was sickening. Several committee members stated they must uphold their oath of office to defend the constitution but fell short of understanding that upholding their oath of office is exactly what we are asking them to do.

    After nearly three hours of testimony the Chairman closed the hearing in order to allow committee members to reach the House floor in time for the session to begin. The Chairman stated that many people that had signed up to speak did not have an opportunity to do so and he would schedule another hearing to receive additional testimony. Hopefully citizens will be treated with less hostility and greater respect during future committee meetings.

    The Supremacy Clause does not state that all laws created by congress are the supreme law of the United Sates. The Supremacy Clause states that all laws created in pursuance to the constitution will be the supreme law of the United States. Therefore, if an act is created outside of the pursuance of the constitution, it has no authority because it is not in pursuance to the constitution. This is the heart of H-3101; the PPA is outside the authority of the powers granted by the States to Congress. Therefore, the PPA is unconstitutional and unenforceable in South Carolina.

    The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was sold to the American people by making the case that our healthcare system was broken when in fact, our healthcare system is the best in the world. Affordability of healthcare is the problem.

    Over the last 20 years, our State Legislature has protected health insurance companies by monopolizing health insurance in South Carolina and eliminating competition. They have also protected the attorneys in South Carolina by refusing to consider serious tort reform thereby allowing attorneys to file frivolous lawsuits which drive up the cost of healthcare. They also failed to adequately deal with the issue of illegal immigration in our state thereby protecting the hospitality and other industries that benefit from lower wage positions; all the while knowing those here illegally seek medical care at the point of greatest expense, the hospitals. Each of these entities have powerful lobbyist that not only pressure legislators they also give money to legislators through various associations.

    So we now have the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act which will destroy our economy, jobs and personal freedom. Our legislators have surrendered our last hope of protection by erroneously quoting the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution when in fact they could turn to the Tenth Amendment for the power to protect. They have protected insurance companies, attorneys and special interest groups as well as those here illegally. But they are telling us they cannot protect the citizens of South Carolina because our state is constitutionally bound to be in absolute subjection to the federal government. Come on people…we know better than that. When legislators listen to lobbyist more than citizens and receive thousands of dollars from Political Action Committees and Associations; citizens lose every time.

    In a state where legislators have painted the Obama administration as the boogie man, it appears most legislators are afraid to pull off the covers protecting them and face their fear. Or, maybe they fear the lobbyist more than they fear the Obama Administration.

    Remember, economic strength is better than any activism.

    OK, but when did the former ever come about without the latter?

    I've become addicted to Jamie Johnson's documentaries Born Rich and The One Percent, both in Youtube. Milton Friedman makes appearances in The 1% and expostulates on how it's supposed to work. The low point is when Johnson asks him whether it's healthy to have the filthy rich corporations influencing government policy so massively. Have a look at Friedman's answer, y'all, and let's talk about it.

    You can't get everyone to wake up. This is not a new concept. You are not going to get most people to believe that Whites are better than nonwhites.
    Take the term, "White Supremacist"... most Pro-Whites are not into "supremacy" or being in charge of nonwhites, but more about being able to live separated or in separate nations. The separatist does not want to mix.
    Activism is a very strange cause, because you are trying to convince someone that your viewpoint is right and most people have bought into the concepts of liberalism in some form.
    Most cannot do "real activism" because they'd wind up breaching some kind of law.

    There is enough information "out there" for anyone who decides to investigate things for themselves. The best forms of "activism" are not really activism. When you decide to try to enter the political arena, you politicize yourself. Long ago, it was something quite different, but now, you are up against the One party made of two parties. They are both part of the same deal, and the whole political opposition is just a controlled soap opera.

    This is why economic strength is better than activism. If you have enough money to buy your way into the political ---- or economic system, you can affect things. If you are a multimillionaire or a billionaire, you can buy power. More and more Whites are slipping into economic slavery now and have little money to affect things.

    Standing on a street corner and trying to get others to rally for your cause just doesn't work. You are just trying to bring on board more powerless people. As good-willed as it all seems, good feelings do little, and the practicality of it is just wasted efforts.

    You also tell the opposition who you are, and how many of you there are, and what you are doing.

    It is amazing that anyone is still trying to do the same things over and over again and nothing is changing. The Whites that have money need to stop trying to feed the ego and start being smart about it.
