America is lost, torn asunder by a Satanic evil that grows more and more engorged with each passing moment. Our altars are cast down, our ancestral lands colonized and desecrated, our monuments and memories defiled and defaced.
I recently took a pilgrimage to Stone Mountain, one of the few symbols of our whilom nation that have thus far escaped annihilation. We must realize, though, that no stone shall remain unturned by our Enemy, a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. It will not be long until Stone Mountain merely exists as a distant memory at best.
Driving in to the park, I noted the heavy presence of police and National Guardsmen outside the gates. A reminder that the Enemy works tirelessly to take and kill that which is ours, our birthright, our people, our heritage, our everything – our lives.
The carving, featuring President Davis and Generals Lee and Jackson, along with their beloved steeds Blackjack, Traveller, and Little Sorrel, is indescribably moving. The gravity of their sacrifice, the tragedy of their defeat, the shambles that have been made of the land that they loved, all commingled and fell over me in a torrent of blood and tears. Men the likes of which we have not encountered for generations.
To the side, a small memorial garden lay, with the statue of a shirtless, barefooted youth, a Confederate soldier who would have been younger than I. His arms lifted to Heaven, a shattered sword in one hand, the words below his feet said it all: “Men who saw night coming down about them could somehow act as if they stood at the edge of dawn.” These words were the last uttered by a young Confederate just before his death at the hands of the alien Yankee. From just the right position, Davis, Lee, and Jackson can be observed gazing down from the mountain, standing watch over their young charge and repaying in kind that loyalty which he surely showed them.
As General Lee once said, “So, my son, when in the conflict of life the cloud and the darkness come, stand unflinchingly by your post; remain faithful to the discharge of your duty.” Our ancestors knew their duty, to their God, their fathers, and their Southern nation. They faced privation which we cannot even begin to fathom. They faced certain death. They possessed no illusions about what they were pledging their lives to. And yet they did it anyway.
As we stare the barrel of a loaded gun in the face, what do we do? Like the docile beasts of burden that we are, we wear our little masks. We apologize for fictitious bugaboos that we should not shed a single tear over. Dixie no longer requires an invading army to drive her down. She has her people, now the servants of that which she suffered so much to break free from.
We have turned from God, from our fathers, from the hearths that once provided us all of the sustenance that we needed. When they come with plastic explosives for Stone Mountain, will we see any Southerners rise to its defense? How can we defend that which we have no appreciation for, that which we have chosen to forget?
Based on the sorry state of our Southland today, there will be no resistance. When they come for Stone Mountain, night will have already fallen, and it will be nevermore pierced by the trembling light of dawn. President Davis, General Lee, and General Jackson will protect us no more.
We will no longer deserve them.

“I here repeat and would willingly proclaim my unmitigated hatred to Yankee rule — to all political, social and business connections with Yankees, and the perfidious, malignant and vile Yankee race.”
Edmund Ruffin, 1865
O I’m a good old rebel, now that’s just what I am. For this “fair land of freedom” I do not care at all. I’m glad I fit against it, I only wish we’d won, And I don’t want no pardon for anything I done.
Although I have never visited Stone Mountain (to my own shame and discredit), it is nevertheless, for me, one of, if not THE, most important Sourthern sites ever erected/carved; second only to perhaps monument row in Richmond.
When I was kind of, sort of, into coin collecting many years ago, but by no means an enthusiast, I remember the first time I came across the Stone Mountain commemorative half dollar and the feelings of pride it elicited in me at seeing and touching it. I knew what Stone Mountain was, but did not know, until that moment, that there was a commerative U.S. coin depicting the historic site. I purchased that coin then and there, and later purchased two or three more as I would happen across them at the several “coin shops” I would now and again frequent within my vicinity.
I unfortunately think you’re right that Stone Mountain will ultimately become a faded memory in the not too distant future. I should think, therefore, that what once was a desire for me to visit the historic site mostly for the sake of saying I’d been there, has become more a call of duty and of respect to my honorable and noble ancestors before it disappears.
One day in the not too distant future all’s I’ll have to remind my children and grandchildren of the existence of Stone Mountain in better times that will have existed only in my grandchildrens’ imaginations, will be those commemorative coins alluded to above. I’ll hang on to them for that purpose, if for no other purpose at all, therefore.
I visited it as a kid. I went to a basically all black school so the version I got was somewhat skewed , I was taught to hate myself. I wish someone had been around to tell me the truth. I often think of how Jews act as a people even though they are scattered across the world. I am sure they are not the only people in history to go through what we are. Are no lessons we could learn or tactics we could adopt from our the long history of western civilization?
I saw a post from some Jews about their heritage tour, something no matter where you are in the world or how poor you are, you get a paid trip to Israel when you reach a certain age and they drive you around, explaining their history. By them, for them.I
Can we not start to do things like that? It seems we don’t do nearly enough to keep our people together, especially for those that get left behind who probably never met another Southerner. They have no idea who they are, I feel like we could be doing so much more. We must unite and behave as a people of we will be washed away. So often it feels like a every man for himself attitude. Our culture must be a living one, history books are not enough, we need to be around one another, just us, a living culture at least occasionally.
I guess I am just thinking out loud.
Have you ever encountered things like their heritage tour in your exellent knowledge of history that maybe we could begin to employ for our people as well?
That’s a good question, and the short answer is no.
In our own history the only thing that comes to mind that even approaches it is when all the “camps” were formed on the heels of the close of the first act of “reconstruction” in all the Southern states and committees were formed to collect information and to submit “annual reports” as to their progress in rooting out the bad histories in the Southern schools (written by Yankees, of course), exposing their errors and their blatantly malicious hatred-of-all-things-Southron content; seeing to it they be removed and replaced with histories (and “readers,” etc.), as you put it, “by us, for us.” Shortly thereafter is of course when these camps began to converge into the UDC and SCV and our monuments began to be erected all over the southland and its western territories including Northeastern and Central Texas and Souteastern and Central Oklahoma. The Southeasten quadrant of my state wasn’t named “Little Dixie” for no reason, after all. And as an aside, my great grandfather and grandmother on my father’s side were married in a little town now called Velma, but which was then named “Dixie, ID (Indian Territory).”
I was luckier than you, Michael, in that I wasn’t taught to hate myself or my people, who are almost all of Southern extraction. On the other hand, the way my teachers approached the subject at hand was more or less to ignore our history and those things that make us a distinctive people, so I had to learn it on my own. In that sense you and I are kind of in the same boat, albeit I had the advantage of not being taught to hate myself or my forbears as I said.
But to get back to your question, I think you’ve floated an interesting idea, and one deserving futher consideration. I think the problems we face are much like what our forbears faced approaching the turn of the twentieth Century, only worse. The Yankee histories and readers and so forth are more entrenched and more widely accepted as “true history”; the teachers and administrators in the public schools more hostile to and ignorant of the true history of the WBTS and what led up to it, regardless of their family trees. And of course now we have television and other forms of media that are utilized by our mortal enemies so effectively to perpetuate these bald faced lies about us that we have to find a way to deal with.
In short, I don’t know what needs to be done to counter all of this effectively except what I and others have done within our own little families and circles of influence. But we need to start discussing it for sure.
@T. Morris…
“I unfortunately think you’re right that Stone Mountain will ultimately become a faded memory in the not too distant future. ”
Yes, Sir.
Why, in North Carolina, where there is a law against removing any monuments – without the locality, in question, having beforehand having designated a place of equal publick prominence for them to go, they are simply following the alien-financet scalawag governor’s example of removing them under the pretext of ‘preserving the publick safety’.
It will be interesting to see what sort of pretext they fashion for Stone Mountain, seeing how it is out in the middle of nowhere.
Have little fear, however – for they’ll figure one out, just as soon as they can figure out how to contrive a Democrat successor to Governor Kemp.
Can you imagine what they’ll do with, say, the monument erected in honor of Capt. Wirz at the site of Andersonville Prison. I mean, that’s an easy one by comparison to Stone Mountain, since of course Wirz was, in their deluded minds, solely responsible for starving tens of thousands of captured Union soldiers to death on purpose.
My understanding is that several Southern states have similar laws on the books criminalizing the desecration or removal of confederate monuments. All of which laws seem utterly useless and ineffective at this point. I suppose this is why Noah Webster (a Yankee, btw) declared way back when that he considered the education of youth of more consequence than the making of laws or preaching of the gospel. This because, said he, the education of youth lays the foundation upon which both law and gospel rest for their success.
None of this should surprise us, I suppose, given that our own best writers and defenders of the ‘lost cause mythology’ write and publish idiotic crap like this:
Think about that for a moment. I don’t care whether your choice of terminology is “enslaved people” or “slavery”; I do, however, care and take particular exception whenever you join with the ideologues and declare as unmitigated fact that chattel slavery in the South was inherently wicked, thus our forbears were inherently wicked. I’d love for at least one of these “intellectual”/”academic” goofoffs to explain to me one time how they arrived at that conclusion, rather than simply stating it as unmitigated, uquestionable fact. Give that man a cupi doll who can do it with a straight face!
@T. Morris…
Why, of course – Stone Mountain has to go because of Wirz – never mind all the Southern deaths in Union prisons!
In fact, the only way to make Andersonville right is to put all White Southerners on a barge and set us all out to sea!
Oh, no – wait, they can’t do that, because that would cost them too big a consumer market.
Hmm, what to do? …
You said, “It will be interesting to see what sort of pretext they fashion for Stone Mountain, seeing how it is out in the middle of nowhere.”
That’s just it; it isn’t in the middle of nowhere. It is in a rather densely populated suburb of Atlanta. In the past 30 years, it has undergone a demographic shift. As whites left, blacks moved in.
See, it isn’t just a monument. It is also a state park. Lake, trails, a resort, a hotel, skylifts, amphibious rides, a train… Well, you get the picture. So it rather popular, and is frequently used by locals for exercise and other urban park type activities, for the low price of a yearly parking pass.
In the 80’s, visiting with my family or with the church, Confederate Hall would be decked out in the flags of the Confederacy, as befits a Confederate museum, and pride of place was still given to the monument and museum. Since that time, the entertainment firm that operates the attractions has managed to remove much of the Confederate iconography, and I’m sure would be pleased with the removal of our forefathers from the mountain.
So you have a black majority community surrounding the park who want to make it theirs; Herschend Entertainment, who just wants to make money, and thus avoid controversy; and finally, Republican politicians who melt like the Wicked Witch of the West at the mere thought of being targeted by a hostile press.
Sir, I hate your wording that we have chosen to forget, that we chose anything at all. We did not choose anything, this is forced onto us at gunpoint. We did not choose to forget, we had our memories forcibly erased in Federal indoctrination camps.
I could go on, but we did not choose anything except to not do enough to counter their actions. We fought so hard for homeschooling yet did not provide our children with a curriculum of our own. Some of us did it for our own families or dodged it by private schools, but then what? We did not help our children who were left behind. Did they choose that or did we fail our people?
Every attack on us in the last 200 years was directly aimed at a piece of us that they were trying to kill. If we lost in court then we should have developed a work around and then passed that knowledge onto our children, to say “here was the real thing, who we are and here is what we do now because of our oppression.” To paint in their minds a picture of the thing they are trying to kill in us. Every child that does not know our history is our failure, not our ancestors, and certainly not the children’s. To walk away from something you first have to be a part of it and know it, that’s our job. They did not “choose” it.
I am sorry but by talking about something and just saying “welp, that’s just how it is, it’s over we chose it” completely shuts down any path forward. Without recognizing that it was DONE, to us, not a choice then we will never start down the path of a work around or solution. It’s a nonstarter. We did not choose to forget, and saying that negates the conversation we should be having.
Recognizing that we are under attack and the primary instrument of our destruction is the erasure of our past while simultaneously attacking our living culture is the primary concern we should have right now. Recognizing that was not a choice and planning accordingly. Like now. Road trips don’t do anything for our people, we need leadership and organization that is impervious to outside subversion, the article here that the editors published is a good place to start. That’s who we are, that’s what we have to work with. County by county we have to find them, weed out the subversive and the reconstructed. Then we must begin to unite the tribes. I hope these are the things that people that still even have the means to act think about on their vacations to stone mountain. If not, then you really did choose it and you should probably just save the gas.
@Michael…
“Sir, I hate your wording that we have chosen to forget, that we chose anything at all. We did not choose anything, this is forced onto us at gunpoint. We did not choose to forget, we had our memories forcibly erased in Federal indoctrination camps.”
That’s true, but, it is also true that we have accepted this and have chosen to forget.
Yes, Sir, we have been under immense pressure for a very long time, but, so, too, were The Poles, The Irish, The Welsh, and The Hungarians, yet, never once did they choose to forget who they were.
The Jews, too, scattered all over the globe as miniscule minority in each land, and frequently under painful attack, yet, they never chose to forget.
In fact, the motto of The Israeli army is, ‘Never Forget’, which, if you are not Jewish, you need to know means one thing : ——— ‘ Never will we again sit by and hope that our attackers and detractors can be mollified by appeasement, for it does not work.”
No excuses for us – but, yes, we have long been under heavy attack.
The moment we stop appeasing is the moment we are reanimated.
Until then, we are no better than a cowardly corpse.
This is the dark ages. I heard Tucker “the science guy” Carlson say that 1000 years of Catholic Europe was the dark ages. He shrugged at taking down the statues, but just lets do it responsibly.
In Catholic history, I read about so many desecration’s. Reading about it, about relics, paintings that I have never seen, never meant anything to me. I didn’t think it was good, but I had no emotion about it.
But seeing Monument avenue before and after was utterly heart breaking. I actually lived near Stone Mountain too! I never understood the confederacy then, but I am enjoying learinging more about it now.
This will all be gone anyway. I don’t have a job, or a family, so all this destruction puts my focus on the one true faith. Faith is more real than those statues. The unseen world is more real.
