US anti-intellectualism is like a very stupid version of Christian theology that arbitrarily separates the world in a childish “good” and “evil” – with everything “good” being whatever US foreign policy happens to be – and everything “bad” that which opposes it. Since 1945 to present, the US Military has killed 30 million people around the world (in the name of “peace”) – enforcing its ideology of predatory capitalism. Today, President Trump has usurped the power of the State Governor of LA – enacting a post-Civil War law that cedes all State power over its local military to the Federal President – a move designed to prevent resistance to Federal policies and to stop any threat of secession. In this instance, Trump’s overtly “racist” policies are triggering mass protests and uprisings amongst the general population. When the Confederacy lost the Civil War – the States lost their individual freedom and this has allowed a Neo-Nazi President to enact a racist “Federal” reign of terror upon the American people!

Memorial Stone for the Crew of the CSS HL Hunley!

These were the last Confederate soldiers to be laid to rest in the US. They were buried in 2004 in Charleston – with over ten thousand people attending – many carrying Confederate flags. The official US government stance was one of indifference and perhaps embarrassment (the US was busy illegally invading Iraq and Afghanistan – falsely blaming both countries for the September 11th World Trade Centre Attacks). One of the submarine crew – “C Lumpkin” – was British (images of what the crew looked like have been created), whilst two others (of the eight-man crew) were also non-American (“Corporal Johan Frederik Carlsen” was Danish – whilst “Arnold Becker” was Germany). In other words, three of the eight were foreign – and I know that people came from Ireland (which was then under British control) and from Mainland Britain to join the Confederate Cause.

Jefferson had to draw from a limited pool of men (compared to the North – which possessed an endless supply of recruits – as every newly arrived migrant was enrolled into the US Army) – Jefferson managed to assemble around 80,000 (aged 12-60) – gave every man a uniform, hat and pair of boots, and ensured all were armed and fed. The idea was to Punish the Lincoln Administration that had tried on numerous occasions to militarily invade and subjugate the South. It was General Lee who suggested to Jefferson Davis that an invasion into the North – and a decisive military victory near Washington – might force Lincoln to sue for peace. Lincoln, however, had other ideas, and refused any such compromise, stating that he strove for the utter destruction of the South.

A Tale of Two Cities – Extracting Meaning from History! (12.2.2025)

The Americans would have the world believe that two atomic bombs were required to be dropped on a non-White people to end WWII. The Soviet Red Army defeated Nazi Germany (and its allies) – and then entered North-East China to destroy the Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army – that had caused so much suffering to the Chinese people. Imperial Japan was finished – but the US wanted to “test” their new terror-weapon on the minds and bodies of a distant non-White population (just as they test their weapons today on Palestinians). This was at a time when what was left of Hitler’s forces was much more of a threat in Europe. The Americans were reluctant about testing this new terror-weapon on “White” Europeans – even Nazi Germans. Simultaneously, whilst Soviet Red Army soldiers were fighting and dying for US freedom – the US military (alongside Winston Churchill) was planning an allied attack on the USSR. Even with the atomic bomb it was thought that the Soviet Red Army might still prevail – so these insane plans were shelved – but its underlying thinking led to the US-derived “Cold War” – with only the level-headed thinking of Joseph Stalin preventing WWIII.

CSA: Uniforms Have Arrived from Richmond! (19.12.2024)

My colleagues and Comrades in the Southern States gifted me this T-Shirt for the Festive Season! Its narrative and inscription combine history and contemporary politics – with an injection of a little critical humour! Still, many different interpretations of the “American” Revolution are being played-out here.

British Judah P. Benjamin [1811-1884] – “Jewish” Confederate Attorney General! (16.11.2024)

16/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Many who knew Judah, however, have stated that his legal arguments and his personal views were two different things. In reality, Judah, his family, and his broader community in the South were generally in favour of slave-ownership. He believed that slaves were “property” and that a government had no right to interfere in the ownership of property. Particularly a “property” guaranteed in the 1776 Constitution. He thought that freeing slaves was impractical because this population had no idea of how to survive as free-functioning individuals. Such a transition, if it could happen at all, would take a very long time involving preparation. For those who supported slavery, these attitudes were common amongst the “White” community. Another justifying argument involved the idea that Biblical texts justified the enslavement of Africans – with slavery being god’s will. In 1862, Judah P. Benjamin was appointed Confederate Secretary of State, and he pursued the foreign policy of attempting to pursued Great Britain and France to recognise the Confederacy. In 1864, Confederate General Patrick Cleburne (of the Army of Tennessee) suggested that all the slaves in the South should be freed and immediately armed – to form “Black” Regiments in the Confederate Army. Jeferson Davis vettoed this idea (even though Judah P. Benjamin had been discussing this since 1863).
