(Sorry this arrives a tad late. You've heard about Gracie?)Trying valiantly to keep up with the good stuff on Substack and other sites and scribblers recommended a dozen articles ago, I came across this passage in a respected writer's recent piece:“The signals cannot be more clear and yes, I am growing weary of waiting for the nuclear exchange, the EMP attack, the fiscal collapse to address it, even though I know it will take one of these events to spark the revolt. And no, this is not a screed against the government, not the legitimate one, where laws are properly made and followed, especially by the government itself, where justice is a matter of law, where taxes are only used to fund existential and defensive wars, where the offices in Washington DC control only a few peripheral issues. But that is not the government we have, I endorse that one, the one that existed before communists came to operate all levers of power and propaganda.”It's not that I respectfully disagree with the writer's endorsement of a previous state of American governance, “the legitimate one”; I can't comprehend it.It took only 12 years for FedGov to stray from the path of righteous Constitutional order, required as written and sworn to uphold by those administering its daily operation. Some of the same Founding Dads who signed the Declaration supported the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1778. The slow drift away from the principles of governance gradually picked up speed. By the time the War of Northern Aggression broke out, marginalization of the constitutionally restricted FedGov was picking up speed with Lincoln's foot on the accelerator. Then came Woodrow Wilson (no relation), the Federal Reserve, Income Taxes, the 16th and 17th Amendments. The Constitutional chains binding the FedGov were breaking. Eventually, FDR arrived, and FedGov's downward trajectory became faster and faster.And now, here we are, just a couple hundred-plus years later, teetering on the precipice every other form of government has faced since every other form of government came. And went.America's sad state of being notwithstanding, what constitutes a “legitimate government”? Even if most people claim to be the “governed”, what about those who never “consented”? Is there an enforced obligation to obey the ‘rules of government'? If so, how is that Freedom? Who wrote these rules, anyhow? How did “government” come to be a “legitimate” entity with a monopoly on the force required to see to it the rules are obeyed”? “Our elected representatives!” is the standard reply, but that seriously neglects the reality of decades of corrupt government activities by equally corrupt politicians who perverted the system for their own ends.Where did this myth of absolute assumed ‘authority” come from? Couldn't any group of guys get together somewhere and write their own declaration of independence - from Washington? That would be treason. Says who? Says the guys who wrote the original and then came out with the rules in their Constitution. Romantic revisionist American history aside, it's what we were taught growing up in various venues for 248 years; a little late to set things straight when it's been so thoroughly ingrained. Longing for the ‘legitimate government' that never was only adds to the frustration of pursuing a pragmatic solution.Consider:What is the nature of freedom? It is an unassailable natural claim against all others, including the government. Stated differently, it is your unconditional right to think as you wish, to say what you think, to publish what you say, to associate with whoever wishes to be with you no matter their number, to worship or not, to defend yourself, to own and use property as you see fit, to travel where you wish, to purchase from a willing seller, to be left alone. And to do all this without a government permission slip.What is the nature of government? It is the negation of freedom. Just consider recent headlines. Can the Government break the law in order to enforce it? It even has a name for the practice: Lawfare. Hasn't this made Government become a law unto itself? That is the death of the Rule of Law.Do you agree with the following quotes?George Washington:  “Government is not reason; it is not eloquence-it is force! Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.” “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority, still more when you add the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority.” Lord Acton"That government is best which governs least" Henry David Thoreau.So Government is force, the negation of freedom. The monopoly on Force - Absolute Power – is the lifeblood of Government. It corrupts absolutely, bringing us the thoroughly corrupted manifestation now thriving in Washington, DC, and spreading to the States through various green-mail programs and NGOs with billionaire backing. According to Thoreau, since the best government governs least, no government should be our ideal, not the dream of a ‘legitimate government' that maintains its monopoly on Force and, despite its best of intentions found in the Declaration, is destined to become just as indecent, anti-freedom and corrupt as the Swamp and Deep State that rules over us today.Should reasonable people really look forward to the arrival of the next new government? Other than Hope, what basis may one use to conclude that “the next one” after the next revolution will be the salvation of mankind?Freedom is the absence of a ruling class. You cannot be free with someone ruling over you; they are complete opposites. Freedom can only be obtained by removing the people claiming to be above you. There is no other way to be free than freeing ourselves from a ruling class. As long as there are people who can dictate what you can and cannot do, you will always be enslaved by them, no matter how many privileges they allow you to have. There is no such thing as a good and righteous ruling class because the very nature of a ruling class over someone is to dominate them.It would be better to work on an alternative. Considering Freedom, constructive guidance comes from Lysander Spooner.“It is self-evident that no number of men, by conspiring and calling themselves a government, can acquire any rights whatever over other men, or other men's property, which they had not before as individuals. And whenever any number of men, calling themselves a government, do anything to another man or his property, which they had no right to do as individuals, they thereby declare themselves trespassers, robbers, or murderers according to the nature of their acts.”When the time comes, as it surely will, let's be prepared to construct a better form of government than we have today. Removing the word “government” would be a good start.BWThanks for reading (or listening) this far.For those who didn't get my beginning reference to Gracie, I'll try to post some pics of our 15-week-old English Cream Golden Retriever, currently terrorizing her new home by destroying shoes, furniture and sundry items while managing to position herself in every inconvenient spot available with no regard for potential injury. Not of her, of us! But she's a cutie, and too quickly, the “Cute Puppy” phase will be in the scrapbooks and photo albums, and we'll regret they didn't last longer – minor injuries and damaged property notwithstanding!

As legal challenges to the legitimacy of Trumps candidacy emerge, Biden's henchmen appear on mainstream media to push their latest attack on the president.  Adam Schiff appeared over the weekend on mainstream media to say Trump led an insurrection and therefore he is unfit for office. Schiff sites the 14th amendment and he says that Trump does not need to be convicted of insurrection for the amendment to apply.  Mike Church disagrees. Mike will tell you what the 14th amendment actually says and how Schiff has it wrong.

Me & Yak (Jake Timothy) out here in South Carolina getting aggressive thinking of the next Civil War since we Southerners.

If we do not pay attention to the past, we are bound to repeat it, right? Well, sometimes paying too much attention isn't good either. I mean, when driving a car it's best to look forward through the windshield AND ensure that you pay some mind to the side and rear mirrors to be clear on what's going on behind you. To be aware. To avoid problems. Thing is, the view I have from my rearview mirror is different than what someone sees in another car. Same thing for the windshield, actually. And so too it is with history. It's told from the view of those who “win”. Doesn't mean there aren't other views. And the truth is what falls in between. In this week's episode another view of some historic experiences in the middle of Virginia and how the place that nearly tore the country in half, actually is the place that brought it back together. What does leadership actually mean in today's world? Good questions, right? That's what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it's why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast features guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we'll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they've learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy helps clients unearth and untether their own internal leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages. Recently Cathy joined Paris-based start-up OpenBubble as Co-Founder and Chief Communications Officer. OpenBubble's mission is to break through issues of isolation and separation in society by creating a powerful way for people to connect and talk – with no agenda. #leadership #warofnorthernaggression #civilwar #civilrights #responsibility #OpenBubble #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

* It Can Happen Here, The Mormon Trail of Tears. - Few people know the extraordinary persecutions that the early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints had to endure in the City of Navoo, Illinois in 1844-1846. * A letter to the Church leadership reveals Governor Thomas Ford's true character. * Alexander Doniphan: Courageous Defender & Friend of the Mormon Saints! * President Van Buren's reply: ‘Gentlemen, your cause is just but I can do nothing for you;' and the cold unfeeling manner in which he was treated by most of the senators and representatives in relation to the subject, [Henry] Clay saying, ‘You had better go to Oregon,” and [John C.]Calhoun shaking his head solemnly, saying, “It's a nice question – a critical question; but it will not do to agitate it.' * Eventually, the latter-day-saints were driven out of the United States of America and settled in Mexico (what is today Utah). Though they were hunted like rabbits, had their property destroyed, and were denied their Constitutional rights, they did avoid the abomination of desolation that always results when a nation turns its back on God, and persecute His saints. * On June 25, 1976, Governor Kit Bond issued an executive order rescinding the Extermination Order, recognizing its legal invalidity and formally apologizing on behalf of the State of Missouri for the suffering it had caused the Mormons. * Nations are not punished in the afterlife, they eventually meet their fate in this present mortal sphere. The Civil War, the War of Northern Aggression was the punishment on this nation that turned its back on the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. * 618,222 men and women died during the War of Northern Aggression. Eventually, the scales of justice come back into balance. * Today we find ourselves in a similar situation; the scales of justice are in a serious state of imbalance. When they will be set back into balance, I cannot tell you, but that they will be set back into balance is beyond doubt. * What side of the ledger we will find ourselves on is entirely up to us as individuals. I, as Uncle Ted Nugent is fond of saying, would hope to be found in the asset column. * It is our hope and prayer that we would all repent and do what we can to restore the God-ordained Constitutional foundation of this country so that we do not have to repeat history and incur the same fate that those wicked early inhabitants of this continent were condemned to suffer in both time and eternity.

NOTE: Originally recorded in the summer of 2021, a year prior to the publication of this episode. Russia has not yet invaded Ukraine. Phil asks if it is obvious we need to rename the Cold War. Micah discusses the history of the cold war, the continuation of the impacts we face today, proxy warfare, and our American reluctance to look into the mirror. K Sera makes predictions of things to come.   Show notes: n/a   K Sera's after thoughts: - Well, I was wrong, though we were also kinda right. Russia is currently trying to annex Ukraine and there are absolutely guns and planes and people dying. Russians are fleeing the country right now to avoid conscription. It's a literal bloody mess and the USA and NATO allies want to help Ukraine, but we also are terrified of escalating this into a full on hot mess of nuclear war, even though I feel like that is just playing for time. Russia is struggling to take and keep territory. The Ukrainians have dug in their heels and are starting to push back. I would guess that Putin is starting to feel backed into a corner. He's that guy in the fight that is starting to realize he has no way out. In a recent interview on Dax Shepherd's Armchair Experts podcast, I heard Ice-T say this line: “And you know, we used to say in the hood, the worst person is the scared mother f*er, ‘cause the scared mother f*er will kill you. If you think you go'n bully him, he's like, well I can't fight you. I can't do anything. So you got my back up against the wall and I'll kill you.” The world is worried that Putin is the scared mother f*ker in this stupid war over his stupid ego. - Moving on… I don't think we can call this Cold War II until this conflict is over, because honestly… if it doesn't stay “cool” the war is going to have a very different name. Like the Boiling War or Spillover or The Great Radiation or… something. And the fallout is to be determined, but likely nothing positive. I hope it's nothing worse than the "Warm War" or the "Simmering War"… - Micah has given up on humanity. Phil has some hope still. And l… have a lot of ‘oh well, it's out of my control, so… guess we'll see' apathy.  - Also, the United States (and the world) needs therapy. Micah said something along the lines of: “We've been dealing with a way of insulting ourselves from our failures for 50 years, and when we didn't have an ‘other' of which to blame it on, where does that blame and anger go? It can only go back in. Because there is no outlet.” All I can say is, this is irrational thinking. We can find a better and more constructive way to accept our failures. Aggression (internal or external) being the reflexive response to failure is unhealthy, unproductive and totally stems from toxic masculinity. Stop being the scared mother f*ker afraid of looking like a fool with your ‘wounded' pride. Deal with your failures like a rational adult and stop being an aggressor. Stop hurting your partners, family, co-workers and allies. Looking at you, shitty toxic countries of the world. You know who you are. The USA is not exempt.   Phil's after thoughts: -A year ago the idea that Russia would annex rest of Ukraine was actually on our bingo card. Although everyone in the US thought that if Russia did invade it would be like Crimea 2.0 (where it would a complete takeover in less than a weekend). To be honest, it almost was (if the Ukrainian president would have fled, we'd be living in Cold War II still).   -I think Micah's assessment of the American psyche is very harrowing. Our southern states have a state-holiday literally called Heroes Day where schools and businesses take the day off to celebrate the heroes of the confederate army. In some southern states they want to remove references to slavery in US history. The "war of northern aggression" is not double speak for our fellow Americans south of the Mason Dixon Line. I agree with both of you: America, like every country, needs a therapist.   -The Ukrainian War is a proxy war. Nato weapons, with Nato intelligence, with Nato drones, with Nato ammunition, with 5 billion a month Nato cash, to a non-Nato nation. It really feels like that vintage tit-for-tat when compared with Vietnam War, Korean War, and Afghanistan War- Russian Season Pass.   -I think Cold War I is a fine name, but not without flaws. If we are to be so analytical, it should be called "Resource War, circa 1946 to 1991."   -As for being black-pilled, Micah's sentiment isn't wrong. But at the same point, if we can't even predict a year from now, how can we predict the entire span for the future of humanity? I still believe that humans will continue to do suboptimal moves to help one another, and despite some humans being the absolute worst, that most humans will go out of their way to help each other. I believe in this because I must.   K Sera's after thoughts on Phil's after thoughts -I am mostly disgusted when I hear our southern country folk talk about "Northern Aggression" and celebrate fallen "heros" - sadly, I stand by my statement: you can't kill an idea.   -This is a proxy war for NATO. And I believe your name for it is exactly correct. It's resources. It's always about resources. I'd say Micah is right that there is a very high probability that we will destroy ourselves. But, yeah... I hope not. We haven't so far, so hopefully we keep that going.     Micah's after thoughts: -MARS (Micah A**HOLE Rating Scale) = Bananas (pronounced Buh-NAH-NAHS)

In this episode Historian Kevin M. Levin the author of Searching for Black Confederates: The Civil War's Most Persistent Myth takes us into a fascinating discussion of the roots and causes of the American Civil War, the decline and collapse of the Confederacy and more importantly the origins, development and manifestation of the Confederate Lost Cause Movement. At the beginning he talks about what he thinks about when pondering the American Civil War before moving on into the very heart of the episode. He begins by setting a foundation and exploring core issues and events preceding the eventual secession and war from talking about the American expansion into new territories, the question of "New States" and slavery, Bleeding Kansas and naturally the Compromise of 1850 and the collapse of the Whig Party and the beginning of the Republican Party. But then we come to the end of the Confederacy and the origins, birth and manifestation of the Lost Cause movement and its mythical and fictional narratives that became a cancer within American historiography and the role it plays in miseducating and misinforming the public today. He discusses slavery and the "states rights" debate while debunking many of the myths put forward in Lost Cause narratives that are still defended today by Neo Confederates such as Black Confederates a term that attempts to explain away "camp slaves" which is narrative that Neo Confederates cling to today while avoiding the truth, horror and reality of American slavery. We discuss confederate monuments, the monument debate and the role that groups have played such as the Daughters of the Confederacy from memorial services to the very monuments that spark debates today. From modern Americans who struggle with their Confederate ancestors to the internet and its role in misinformation and the safe space it gives "fake history" this episode truly encompasses the very heart and soul of American history and the battle that still rages involving the origins of the American Civil War and the movements that came after. We end by asking why Americans have a fascination and almost romanticized view of Civil War and why the USA continues to struggle with its past. Topics debunked: That slavery wasn't the fundamental cause of secession and the eventual outbreak of war. The myth of unlimited Northern resources over Confederate bad generalship. The States rights narrative. Black Confederates. The loyal slave narrative. The myth of Northern Aggression. The myth of Confederate Unity. The myth of the "morally" superior South. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antiquity-middlages/support

Scott Horton is the author of “Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism,” “Fool's Errand: Time to the End the War in Afghanistan,” and “The Great Ron Paul: The Scott Horton Show Interviews 2004-2019.” He's director of The Libertarian Institute, editorial director of Antiwar.com, and host of Antiwar Radio on Pacifica 90.7 FM KPFK in Los Angeles and The Scott Horton Show. The podcaster/broadcaster extraordinaire has conducted more than 5,500 interviews since 2003. I tap into Horton's vast knowledge in order to try to make sense of the Israel-Palestine crisis, its history and modern implications, especially the frustrating gaslit loyalty and heretical beliefs of Christian Zionists, the power of the pro-Israel lobby, the ignored plight of Palestinian Christians, Israel's obstruction to peace, the Deep State's fostering discord, and the US's backing of the secular regime with money, arms, and unparalleled political support. And what does the Murica get in return for being Israel's client state? Horton will fill us in. I also tell Horton about my hypothesis that the conflict in Israel is akin to the War of Northern Aggression. Since we in Dixie have been under imperial occupation since 1865, her lands destroyed and given over to settler colonialism, her collective memory maligned, her culture reconstructed and razed, and her people scapegoated and force-fed a revisionist history that not only obscures US government crimes, but now actively promotes them, I think it's a pretty good comparison, which I may expound upon in a future essay.

These hauntings take place at some of Jon's favorite places… No it's not My Little Pony Conventions, it's Jon's second favorite thing, breweries. That's right, we're talking about haunted Breweries this week. After discovering that we may be psychos after last week, we figured it was a good week for something fun! So without further ado… Let's get wasted! I mean let's check out some haunted breweries.        Our first stop is in good ol Savannah Georgia. We are taking a look at Moon River Brewing Company. The moon river brewing company is located in the 21 West Bay St. building. 21 West Bay Street is a historic building located a block south of the Savannah River in the Savannah Historic District, the building dates from 1821.  Housed in one of the oldest, most historic and genuinely haunted buildings in Savannah, we invite you to experience the history and our excellent food and hand-crafted beers first hand.   It all started with Elazer Early, a native of Charleston, South Carolina, who constructed our building as the City Hotel in 1821. Not only was it the first hotel in Savannah, but it was also home to the first branch of the United States Post Office in Savannah.  It also served as a branch of the Bank of the United States. (It must have been convenient having a hotel, post office, bank, and bar all under one roof!)   During the hotel’s tenure, many notable people stayed at the Hotel. The guests included War of 1812 hero Winfield Scott, the Marquis de Lafayette, the first three Commodores of the United Statues Navy, and naturalist James Audubon. Audubon stayed six months at the hotel while attempting to sell books of his wildlife sketches.   In 1851, Peter Wiltberger bought the City Hotel. He renovated it and put a live lion and lioness on display to draw attention to his business. The City Hotel’s final guest checked out in 1864, just before the arrival of General Tecumseh Sherman during the War of Northern Aggression and the subsequent closing of the hotel. The building also served as a hospital during Savannah’s numerous yellow fever outbreaks. Hundreds of people, mostly children, reportedly died on the upper floors of the building during these outbreaks, when the building functioned as a makeshift hospital. It is not surprising that child spirits are often seen in the Moon River Brewing Company.   At the turn of the century, the building was used as a lumber and coal warehouse. As the use of coal slowly died off, the building was used for general storage. In the 1960’s, the space was renovated as an office supply store, complete with a large printing press.   The building sat empty until 1995 when it was renovated into its current configuration as a brew pub. The Moon River Brewing Company debuted in this space on April 10, 1999 and welcomes all who pass by. So there you can see there's quite a history with this building. Now a bit about the brewery.   Moon River Brewing Company opened to the public in 1999 on the site of the former Oglethorpe Brewing Co. In 2010, the brewery won a Gold Medal for its Rosemary India Pale Ale in the "Herb and Spice or Chocolate Beer" category at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado. In 2003, the brewery was voted #28 on the "Top 50 American Brewpubs" in the United States by BeerAdvocate.com. In 2014, the brewery won a Gold Medal for its "Bomb," an Irish-style stout at the World Beer Cup. In 2017, Moon River Brewing Company took home a Gold Medal at the Great American Beer Festival for their Wild Wacky Wit in the "Belgian-style Witbeir" category. Along with the medal, they were also awarded "Best Mid-size Brewpub & Mid-size Brewpub Brewer of the Year."     So now that we know the history of the building and a little about the brewery, let's talk about the good stuff… Hauntings!!   There are many people who will tell you that ghosts only are left behind when a person dies a tragic or violent death. If that is true then The Moon River Brewing Company may very well be a deeply haunted place. Enough violence has taken place inside the building to easily leave several restless spirits behind.        The hundreds of children who died of yellow fever are the most numerous deaths that took place. Though it was mostly children who perished, many adults also died on the top floors of the brewery. Dying young and sick is always a tragedy and might just be enough to leave behind a few ghosts.       The building was used as a hospital quite a few times as yellow fever kept hitting Savannah. This meant that an impromptu hospital had to be constructed in order to treat and house all of the children falling sick. The amount of people who died of yellow fever during separate outbreaks is alarming and tragic.        More vindictive acts of violence include a shooting of a known town vagrant. In 1832 a doctor by the name of Dr.Phillip Minus shot a drunk man named James Stark inside the then hotel. James Stark was a known drunk and troublemaker who seemed to have a reputation for insulting people and being hated by the people of Savannah.        After Dr. Minus shot Stark he insisted that he had seen Stark going for his gun first. Dr. Minus was quickly acquitted of the crime as Stark was not liked in the town and Savannah needed a doctor. An unpunished murder could be enough to leave a man who was known to be angry in life behind to cause more trouble in death.       One of the biggest acts of violence that occurred in the walls of the brewery took place in 1860. The Civil War had not yet started but there was already a clear hatred for Yankees in Georgia. A Yankee by the name of James Sinclair came into town and decided to stay at the City Hotel.       The residents of Savannah were furious at the thought of having a Yankee in their midst. The people of Savannah tried to pressure Sinclair into leaving the town of his own accord but he refused. The anger and hate of a Yankee in town were enough to cause a mob to form in the streets of Savannah.       The lynch mob marched through the city and into the hotel. They dragged Sinclair into the streets outside of the building where they stripped and beat him. Sinclair lived through the incident but was beaten near enough to the point of death that the violent experience might have caused him to come back and haunt where his tragedy took place. Starting at the bottom of things means beginning with the ghosts that haunt the basement of The Moon River Brewing Company. Arguably the most famous ghost of the brewing company is named “Toby” and is often seen wandering in the basement. This is one of the ghosts that the staff saw often enough they decided he deserved a name.       The basement is widely regarded as the most active floor in the brewery. It might not have the feeling of the top floor or the violent history of the other floors, but it certainly has the most ghost encounters. “Toby” is known to brush up against the people playing in the billiards room or get frustrated and push them.       There are a few people who will tell you that slaves were kept in the basement which would certainly be a reason for a haunting, but there is no evidence this is true. People who have been in the basement of the brewery have reported many different signs of a haunting. These signs include sudden coldness, bottles falling or being thrown, and the feeling of being touched by someone who is not there. All of these reports from patrons and staff have been enough to put the basement of the brewery onto many ghost tours.   The second floor of the brewery is also known for having many strange occurrences. This is the floor where James Stark was Shot by Dr. Minus. There are differing reports of where exactly the shooting took place but they all seem to agree it was somewhere on the main floor.        Many people believe that Stark is the reason many people report liquor bottles being thrown. There are also those who believe he is the reason for some of the more violent reports of grabbing, hitting, and pushing that people experience while inside the brewery. The main floor is also where the dining room is placed. There have been a few patrons who have said they felt someone touch them while they were eating but no one was around them. Several women have also complained of feeling cold in the bathroom or being locked into a stall. This floor might not be the most haunted room in the building, likely because it is so busy with people, but it has its fair share of activity.   The top two floors are known to have more violent encounters than those happen in the basement or even the main floor. A full-body apparition is known as “the woman in white” and has been seen on the third floor several times by many different people. She is one of the most well-known ghosts of the brewery and is sometimes referred to as “Mrs.Johnson”.       The third floor is also one of the floors where many children died of yellow fever. This means it is no surprise that many workers and patrons have reported hearing children talking and playing on this floor. When even the people who run the brewery are talking about hearing children running in the halls, you know there is something going on.   In the 1990s there was construction being done on the third floor. During this time the wife of the foreman was pushed down the stairs on the third floor and fell all the way down the staircase. She was shoved hard enough that it was clear she had not simply fallen.    The foreman immediately stopped construction on the building and left. Several other people have reported feeling people pulling on them or pushing them when they walk on the stairs of the brewing company. This particularly takes place on the third floor which many people argue has the most aggressive spirits in the building.        The final floor of the brewery has been said to have a dark energy that the other floors do not possess. This could be because the majority of yellow fever victims and patients were housed on this floor while the building was being used as a hospital. The victims of the terrible virus might still be trapped feeling the hopelessness they felt in the moments before they died. Interestingly, there are not many reports of actual activity on this floor. There are so many reports on the other floors that almost everyone who has been to the brewery has a different paranormal experience. Yet the top floor where hundreds died is only known for its terrible energy. The same stories of children playing and talking are told about the fourth floor. This is likely because so many children have died on the top floor over the years. Many people agree that if anyone is haunting the brewery it is the ghosts of the children who died young and sick on the top floors of the building.        There is speculation that none of the spirits want to linger where so many died. Or maybe the lack of ghosts on the final floor makes patrons feel an emptiness after experiencing so much activity. Either way, the top floor of The Moon River Brewing Company does not seem to be anyone’s favorite floor whether they are dead or alive.   Well that's the craziness of moon river brewing company in Savannah. So stop in and have a drink and see a ghost!   Next up we are heading to Missouri and checking out a winery! The Belvoir winery to be specific. The winery is located at the Odd Fellows Home District in Liberty Missouri. The Odd Fellows Home District site has a ton of history and it's also visually a great site to see. The Odd Fellows' Home complex is architecturally significant as a collection of Jacobethan Revival educational and institutional buildings. The three remaining historic buildings, the Administration Building, the Old Folks Building and the Old Hospital, were all designed by different architects over a period of twenty-three years, yet all are cohesive in their design and embody the distinctive characteristics of the style. After the first structure used as the home was burned in February, 1900 in an attempt to unthaw frozen pipes, the Grand Lodge of Missouri I.O.O.F. advertised for designs of a "completely fireproof" building to house offices, classrooms, dormitories for the orphans, and rooms for the elderly. The architects selected were Albert Knell and William B. Ittner of St. Louis. The Administration Building designed by Ittner set the precedent for the rest of the Odd Fellow complex buildings. Although designed by other, later, architects, the other buildings reference this unique style. There were three other buildings designed in this style on the site. One, the School Building, was torn down in the early 1950s to make way for the newer hospital. The School Building was built in 1904, and designed by J. H. Felt & Co. of Kansas City, who also designed some later additions at the Odd Fellows. The Old Folks Building, at first called the Old Folks Pavilion, was designed by E. C. Eckle and built during 1907-1908 in order to accommodate the growing number of applications for admittance. The Old Hospital was built in 1923, and designed by Samuel M. Hitt of Kansas City. Viewed together, the three remaining buildings not only document the evolution of this style over a quarter of a century, but the typical building technology and materials for institutional structures as well.        The Odd Fellows Home is significant as an early 20th century example of a statewide home providing care and education for the orphans and elderly members of a fraternal organization. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) is one of the largest fraternal and benevolent orders in the United States. The chief purpose of the Order of Odd Fellows is to give aid, assistance, and comfort to its members and their families. Because the Grand Lodge made it impossible for the Home to reject an applicant due to a physical disability, many residents required hospital care beyond that provided by the staff nurse and doctor. Hospital facilities were moved to the Old Folks Building, but by 1910 it was apparent that a separate hospital building would be needed. It wasn't until 1923 that the hospital (now known as the Old Hospital) was constructed on the northern end of the property. For a period, the hospital was the only medical facility in Liberty; it even had its own laboratory. As the chief purpose of the Odd Fellows' society was to give aid, assistance and comfort to members and families, the Grand Lodge of Missouri helped in times of death as well as in sickness and misfortune. A cemetery plot, headstone, and burial services were all part of the large system of benefits that were available to the Odd Fellows. Usually, the elderly residents of the Home who had no other arrangements were buried there. Current IOOF members also had the option to be buried at the Liberty complex.  The cemetery is currently located on the northern end of the property.  The cemetery contains the remains of nearly 600 people.  Just outside the cemetery gate sits a memorial dedicated by the Liberty IOOF lodge to honor members who were killed in World War II.    Man it's cool to hear the history of places that you go without even thinking about it! That being said, let's get into what this history had contributed to… Hauntings!     It is believed that many of the nearly 600 people who are buried in the cemetery on the site may still be lingering around, haunting the winery buildings. Ghost sightings have included orphan children, a mischievous man, and a singing old lady.   The stories of hauntings abound. People have heard odd voices and noises, including children giggling and running up and down the stairs. Doors have opened and closed by themselves. The owner tells an account of seeing a little boy in a red shirt, blue knickers and brown boots, who appeared near the fireplace. Although the boy was visible, the owner could still see the details of the fireplace through him. Children have been heard singing “Ring Around the Rosy” in the halls. The owner’s daughter heard a little girl talk to her. The piano has played on its own. Perhaps the most haunted building on the property is an old brick hospital that was constructed in 1923. Located on the northern end of the property, it is now known as Old Hospital.The winery and its buildings are also popular with people in the supernatural business. Professional paranormal investigators such as the Ghost Hunters and CREEPZ have found remarkable amounts of evidence. People have had some odd experiences during some of these investigations. On one occasion while investigating the hospital, a woman had to sit down after feeling unsteady. She stood after a few minutes, but then her head hit a wall, her eyes were rolling back in her head, and she was sweating. When she finally recovered, she had no memory of what had happened. During the same exploration, investigators heard a deep growl coming from the room known as “the mischievous man’s room.” When they heard it again, one woman offered to check it out. As she walked toward the room, she felt an oppressive feeling, like doom or dread. Eventually, she retreated without continuing. The growling ended up being enough for the rest of the group as well. At this point, they were all ready to leave the building. In the administration building, once used as an orphanage, meters went crazy when investigators sang “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”   In an outbuilding once used for food storage, dowsing rods turned up some interesting activity. Supposedly, the orphans used to hide in this storage space in order to avoid their chores. When investigators asked questions such as “Where are your friends?” the rods pointed to locations throughout the room. A conversation through the dowsing rods continued, and when it was time to say goodbye, one woman experienced the feeling of being hugged.   Voices, laughing and singing seem to be the most common evidence. However, some people have seen apparitions and shadow people throughout the grounds. One man saw someone peeking around a corner.      The feeling of being watched is also common. In addition, much like the woman experiencing the hug, others have reported physical contact such as being grabbed by the shoulders.    Belvoir Winery does acknowledge and capitalize on the hauntings and old buildings. Besides the public paranormal investigations in October, they also provide guided tours. Other events at the winery include a “Halloween Massacreade” on October 31 and Murder Mystery Dinners in November, December and January. For all you wine drinkers out there… This one sounds fun!   So we've done beer…. We've done wine… What else can we do...oh I know… Moonshine! Next up on the list we head to Tennessee. Brushy mountain distillery to be more exact!   The thing that makes this distillery interesting is that it used to be one of the, if not there, most violent and infamous penitentiaries in the state of Tennessee.    Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary wasn’t just a jail. For decades it was a coal mine for the state of Tennessee that originated in the wake of a bloody labor battle.   The end of the Civil War led to a boom in railroad construction and the rapid expansion of the coal mining industry throughout Tennessee. Because many of the state’s coal veins were located in remote areas, most mining companies providing housing by collecting rent from miners’ wages.    When those companies opened onsite stores selling food, clothes and other necessities at inflated prices, already poor workers piled up debt. By the time their debt and rent were paid, they had little to show for a meager wage job with dangerous working conditions. The Coal Creek miners were clever, holding strikes in winter when coal demand was high; this tactic worked until a new convict lease program gave companies a cheaper, more compliant workforce.   The prison lease system was adopted throughout the South mainly because state governments couldn’t afford to build and maintain prisons or feed, shelter and clothe inmates and a convict lease program cut costs and brought in money. Beyond that, officials could exploit the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery but allowed “involuntary servitude” for criminal punishment.    When federal troops left the South in 1877 after Reconstruction, state officials who were hostile to former slaves handed down long prison terms and life sentences; even for petty crimes. Soon, blacks made up the majority of prisoners in the South.    Tennessee began leasing prisoners in 1866 and by 1891, the Tennessee Coal Mine in Anderson County adopted the practice. This fateful decision led to the Coal Creek War, where citizen-miners attacked and burned the state prison, stockades and mines, then loaded prisoners and guards alike onto a train headed out of town. Mining companies sent them back and state officials called in troops for protection. When months of small-arms skirmishes led to dead men on both sides, officials realized the cost of maintaining a standing militia undercut any financial gains and as convict-lease contracts expired, legislation passed to construct the state’s first maximum security prison – Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary.    By 1896, inmates were building an onsite railroad spur, as well as the original wooden prison structure with their own hands. Between the ongoing violence, deadly mining accidents and chronic illness, life inside Brushy was precarious to say the least. Diseases were rampant, including tuberculosis, typhoid fever, pneumonia, and syphilis – which alone affected 3/4 of the black prisoners. Beyond generally poor medical care and treatment, inmates were routinely beaten for “underproducing” in the mines, despite their dire health conditions, and many died as a result. There was never a death row at Brushy, but there was plenty of death, I promise you. While America was roaring through the ‘20s, convicts at Brushy spent their days in the dark of the mines, urged to dig faster with lashes from thick leather straps.   Their nights weren’t any better, with men stacked into the original wooden buildings that were falling apart and just waiting to catch fire. In 1931, Brushy held nearly a thousand inmates, far more than it was ever meant to.   In 1931,  Brushy housed 976 men, roughly 300 more than its capacity.  Overcrowding was so prevalent and persistent it drew comparisons to conditions inside the infamous Siberian prisons of the Soviet Union.  The state’s answer was simple. Plans were drawn for a new structure to be made of reinforced concrete and they made convicts break sandstone out of the nearby quarry to build the new prison.  Constructed in the shape of a Greek cross, it stood four stories high, boasted battlements atop and by 1934 was surrounded by an 18-foot stone wall.  For a moment, things got better. The new prison was safer, more sanitary, and built in the shape of a cross, offering inmates a narrow path to redemption. Mining remained the sole mission of the prison until the 1960’s and in 1969 Brushy was reclassified as primarily maximum-security when 100 beds were added to house lesser offenders “outside the walls.” Many of the new minimum-security inmates were entrusted with jobs serving the outside community such as participating in the Petros Voluntary Fire Department, which operated 24/7 between 1971 and 1994.    By the middle of the century, Brushy’s reputation as the last stop for the worst criminals had become legend. If you wore out your welcome at another prison or committed some unspeakable crimes, you ended up at Brushy, and let me tell you, that was never a good thing.    In ‘57, after finally shutting down The Hole, they built D-block to keep the nastiest inmates isolated from the rest. It just happens that D-block was built on the site of the old “death house,” where the bodies of dead inmates were kept until they were given back to their families or buried at the pauper’s cemetery up on the hill there.    In ‘69, Brushy was reclassified as a maximum security prison. The end of the line.   But convicts continued to work and die in the mines for decades.  It was Lake Russell, a reform-minded warden and former football coach at nearby Carson-Newman College, who finally stopped the mining at Brushy Mountain.  Of course, the mines were also losing money.  So was it a good warden, or a good businessman that put an end to it?  That’s Brushy for you.   This was the most infamous era of Brushy’s history, a time when the assassin James Earl Ray was transported here, tried to escape, failed, got stabbed. In ‘72 the guards went on strike, demanding security improvements, and Brushy was shut down for four years. So they improved some things and reopened Brushy in ‘76, but friends, let me tell you, it was still Brushy. Tensions between black inmates and white inmates threatened to overwhelm a system that just didn’t seem capable of containing the evil of this place.   In ‘82, the powder keg ignited. Seven white inmates held guards hostage at knifepoint. They took the guards’ guns, found four of their black rivals in their locked cells and opened fire. They killed two. The other two managed to survive by hiding in the corner behind their mattresses.   People said things couldn’t get any worse, and maybe, finally, they were right. Make no mistake Brushy has a darkness about it. You’ll recognize that as soon as you step inside and breathe this air. But you need to know that it wasn’t all darkness.   Back in ‘82, where the old segregated bath house once stood, they built the Brushy Chapel. They say more than a thousand inmates were baptized.  Sure, some of it was that jailhouse religion, act right and get out early, but some of it was real.    In ‘89, they built the High Security Annex, a modern building with solid doors, electronic locks and fire prevention systems, the kind of place you’d expect.  D-block became a minimum security section, so maybe that was a kind of redemption, too.   Brushy didn’t suddenly became a nice place to spend time in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Far from it. But there was hope here, too. Good people doing good work, and bad people trying to be good. Brushy ate Tennessee’s sins for 113 years. It bore witness to terrible sadness and awful violence. It provided hard lessons and good jobs. More than anything, it created a legend and a legacy that will echo across this country and its history. The prison opened in 1896 and only closed its doors in 2009.   Plans to repurpose the historic prison began in 2012, and Brushy Mountain Distillery only opened in 2018. Using local grains, local natural spring water, and (of course) local distillers, Brushy Mountain has already released 10 creative flavors of moonshine such as apple pie, blackberry, honey, fruit punch, frosted orange, peach cobbler, cinnarum, and butterscotch. Man what crazy tale! And now they distill moonshine here! No wonder the place is haunted! Speaking of Hauntings… Let's get to it!   It's been said you can hear the screams of the hopeless, the clanging against bars and railing for justice, over and over. It makes sense that a place filled with such heartache would carry a connection to the other world. Also Brushy Mountain is very open about its ghosts. No joke. They even include them in their warning of possible hazardous conditions you might encounter while tiring the facility.         Many people report a grave feeling of dread or despair in the area that was the hole or solitary. Down there are reports of shadowy figures and banging and strange noises. People have described getting heavy feelings in their chests and several have said they felt like they were having a heart attack. Another hot spot seems to be the cafeteria. We found this story online:     "Not much struck me emotionally about the place until I reached the serving line in the cafeteria. My wife and I both had a feeling of dread come over us. Having cold chills and generally wanting to get out of the area as soon as possible made us wonder why. As we continued the tour we put that moment behind us until we sat for a documentary style video played in the museum. The video described the brutal murder of an inmate in the cafeteria lunch line! A fellow prisoner had taken a knife from the kitchen and hacked the man to pieces. The video graphically described that blood splattered into the potatoes, the man's arm was barely hanging on by a piece of skin, and his spine fell apart when the guards tried to move him. Now they say at times you can see a man waving his arm from behind a pillar in the cafeteria. People have also experienced a folding chair slide across the room!"   Another visitor said this:          "Not a believer myself, but I went on the night tour. I saw a swirl of smoke go past me in the visitation room off of the cafeteria. I have several photos with unexplained oddities. I plan on going back."    There's many stories just like these floating around and honestly it sounds like a really cool place to get wasted and wander around! You can do tastings and ghost tours.. My kind of night.   Next up we are getting back to beer… And also pizza! What a combo! Throw in ghosts and we are in for a heck of a party. We are heading to Portland Oregon to check out Old Town Pizza and Brewing. It was in 1880 that two successful lumber barons built the Merchant Hotel on this block, catering to Portland’s best patrons. Old Town Pizza sits in the original hotel lobby. In fact the window where you place your pizza order is the original hotel’s reception desk and is flanked by the lobby’s original decorative cast iron beam posts. Underneath the floor boards are the Shanghai Tunnels connecting Portland via underground pathways, then used to nab unsuspecting sailors and transport them to ships docked on the river. The Shanghai Tunnels, is a group of passages in Portland, mainly underneath the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood and connecting to the main business section. The tunnels connected the basements of many hotels and taverns to the waterfront of the Willamette River. They were originally built to move goods from the ships docked on the Willamette to the basement storage areas, allowing businesses to avoid streetcar and train traffic on the streets when delivering their goods. There is documentation in the newspapers of the 19th century of tunnels and secret passages underground. Organized crime was the center of many of these stories. The more crazy stories go that the tunnels were also use to Shanghai sailors. Shanghaiing or crimping is the practice of kidnapping people to serve as sailors by coercive techniques such as trickery, intimidation, or violence. Those engaged in this form of kidnapping were known as crimps. The most straightforward method for a crimp to shanghai a sailor was to render him unconscious, forge his signature on the ship's articles, and pick up his "blood money". This approach was widely used, but there were more profitable methods. Whether the stories of shanghaiing on these tunnels  are actually true or not it's a matter of debate among historians, but if true we're sure there are plenty of stories of occidental that went to far leading to dinner bad juju in the tunnels. Old Town Pizza sits in what used to be called the Old North End, a section of the city with a rather questionable reputation. Despite the upstanding clientele of the Merchant Hotel, even it was known for offering one of the oldest professions in the world: prostitution. As legend goes, one of the young “working women” was Nina, sold into this life by a thriving white slavery market. In an effort to clean up the neighborhood, traveling missionaries convinced Nina to share information in exchange for freeing her from a fate she did not choose. Nina cooperated but soon afterward was found dead in the hotel, now Old Town Pizza. Thrown down the elevator shaft, Nina is reported to have never left the building. That elevator shaft is now the location of a cozy both in the restaurant… Fun! Nina is often seen wandering around in a black dress. Years ago a skeptical (of ghosts) general manager saw a woman in a black dress head to the basement. He followed the woman down the stairs to let her know they weren’t open and instead found the room empty. Old Town’s beer and wine distributor has reported seeing Nina as well.   Other strange occurrences include a woman who reached out to Old Town Pizza after reading about Nina on their website claiming that Nina haunted her room when she was a little girl staying at the hotel.   While Adam Milne, the owner, has yet to come across Nina personally, he does recall a picture frame moving while he was doing paperwork in the lobby (and has video evidence to prove it). Another possible Nina sighting came when a customer shared a photo that captures a ghostly howling face…. We'll post the picture. As for other haunts, owner Adam Milne said an employee once saw a woman in a white dress go downstairs during closing time. When he went down to tell her they were closed, no one was there. it seems that while Nina is the most commonly seen apparition or encounter, others report feeling someone's presence around then in the dining room along with people reporting being touched but no one being around them. Sounds like a pretty spooky place!    We're gonna do a few quick hitters next.   We've done beer, wine, and moonshine… What's left? Well how about one for Moody...a haunted meadery. That's right and we don't even have to leave Portland!    Many local Portlander’s are familiar with the long closed Ye Olde Towne Crier,a building built in 1927 with a long history of it’s roots. It is most famous for being the Ye Olde Towne Crier, but a variety of other bars and businesses have resided within it’s walls. More recently and after nearly a decade of being vacant, Wyrd Leatherworks and Meadery have taken up the mantle of bringing the basement area back to life with their own medieval twist. The new business location for Wyrd includes a fully functional mead hall style tap room, their meadery where they make their honey based beverage, and their storefront of handmade leather goods with artists on consignment. The hauntings and ghost sightings date back to the staff at Ye Olde Towne Crier. The Ye Olde opened in ‘53. The building was built in 1927 as a market. The family who originally owned it converted it over many years and added a 3rd level for their residence. That’s the secret spot. The ghost first appeared in the lounge in 1966, per the old staff.  During the remodeling process over the last few months, Wyrd Leatherworks and Meadery has noticed minor paranormal activity while working on their new space. Objects have shown up in random spots, ceiling fans have begun to spin on their own while the co-owners ate their food on breaks, loud noises as if someone walked into a metal sink hard, etc. Often it is just the three co-owners there working on the space and can confirm their experiences so far, which led to them researching into whether or not the place has a history of being haunted. Wyrd Leatherworks and Meadery does not wish to upset any spirits who share their residence and is currently working on a plan to collaborate peacefully with their new shared space roommates. Moody will definitely be going to this place!    Touted as the most haunted brewery in Illinois, Wolfden Brewing Company resides in a building built in 1851. While weird incidents happen on a weekly basis—batteries draining quickly, magnets flying off the wall, shadowy figures, coughing and footsteps—the most notable occurrences happened while Wolfden Brewing was under construction.   Co-owner Katie found a soldier’s marble on the property and after taking the marble off the property, she experienced a series of frightening events. At a home improvement store, paint cans fell from 25 feet above and landed right behind her. She also randomly cut herself while shopping for fire extinguishers. While driving on the highway, a construction barrel flew out on the road in front of her car. Lastly, she tripped over a wire and cut her Achilles tendon on the construction site. All incidents ended once she returned the marble.   While not much about the building’s history has been recorded, Wolfden Owner and Head Brewer Krystov and Katie were able to decipher from existing documents that a woman died on the property after falling into a well. Another spirit, Jack, is believed to have been a soldier from the Civil War (or perhaps during the Blackhawk War).   “We did our first investigation before we opened to the public (last July) and were able to capture Jack telling us his name is Jack,” says Krystov. “We also asked the spirits to move something and shortly after, two 50lb grain bags were pushed off the stack of grain bags and onto the floor. “   According to Krystov, multiple mediums and ghost investigation crews have come through and confirmed that spirits haunt the building and that the upstairs room is a portal.   “Although many of the incidents are creepy, we feel that the spirits here are not evil,” says Krystov. “they aren’t particularly nice, but probably because they don’t want us here. None of the staff is scared, they have just gotten used to it.”   Awesome… That's close enough to Ohio for us to go check out!    A Victorian house built in 1864 houses both the Yak & Yeti, one of Denver’s best Nepalese restaurants, and Spice Trade Brewing. With delicious aromas and spices that fill the air and unique craft beer, it’s no wonder that ghostly visitors don’t want to leave. The restaurant and brewery are said to be haunted by former owner Cora who died falling down the stairs in the 1940s. Jeff Tyler, head brewer at Spice Trade, notes that repairmen have complained about strange things happening in the basement and according to a Fox 31 news report, Yak and Yeti employees witnessed so many strange occurrences that the Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society was brought in to investigate. While they were not able to clarify that the strange occurrences were indeed spirits, cameras did catch a mysteriously moving chair.   Why are ghosts always moving chairs?..... Anyway   Another spot we've found is the wynkoop brewery. Located in Denver Colorado, there are many studies from patrons of paranormal experiences. Who better to hear about this possible haunting from than the brewery itself. The following is taken from their own website:       "Our downtown Denver brewery resides in a 125-year-old brick warehouse building that’s seen a lot of changes over the last century. In the past year or so, we made a few changes of our own when we updated our 30-year-old tap system, replacing all of our taps, lines and pumps so we could get fresh beer from the basement up to our bars. And just recently we installed brand new, state-of-the-art brewing equipment, making our brewers’ lives (and backs) easier with our newly implemented grain elevator.   While updating our systems, we spent a lot of time in our basement. Down there, you really get a sense of the history of this place. You’ll find some interesting remnants from the past, such as the bricked-over tunnels that lead all the way to Union Station and the Brown Palace. Because our building used to be a mercantile, these tunnels served to move the merchandise coming in off the trains. (Interesting trivia: The Beatles once had to use these tunnels to get across downtown to avoid the frenzy of fans up above.)   But like many turn-of-the-century buildings, we have our fair share of ghosts. Not the horror movie kind, more of the sort-of-annoying-but-harmless kind. Since our restrooms are located in the basement, we’ve had a few guests tell us they’ve experienced “encounters” while using the facilities, especially men who claim that they could feel something brush the backs of their legs while they were using the urinals.   While most ghostly encounters seem to happen in the basement, sometimes the spirits make their way up the stairs. There’ve been a few late nights where I’ve turned off all the lights upstairs, walked down the basement to check on the bathrooms, walked back up the stairs and all of the lights were back on. (I was the only one there.) And some customers have claimed to see a lady in a red dress walking across the room in our upstairs pool hall.   So a few years ago, we decided to do our own “paranormal investigation”. A few of our staff members stayed overnight in our basement using a “spirit box” that supposedly contacts spirits through the use of radio frequency. While down there, they asked the ghosts if they knew where they were. They claim they kept hearing “Koop” coming through the static. They asked who the lady in the red dress was. They heard “Isabelle”. Coincidence? You can watch this video online and decide for yourself.   One of the more unsettling things from that night is the video capture of a shadow darting along the wall. Everyone is seated, no one is moving. Who made that shadow? You can watch the video and see if you can figure it out."    We'll post links to both videos so you can check em out for yourself. If you watch the videos leave em a comment and let them know we sent you!    Well there you have it, the surprise episode just for Jon! Alcohol and ghosts, what a combo!

Episode 28 features Rachel Kennerly, who is a wife, homeschool mom, Illini by birth, but Texan by the grace of God, and host of the podcasts Cannabis Heals Me and Just Add Liberty. A Certified Public Accountant by day, Rachel's a fighter for liberty and a friend. In discussing “Everyday freedom and how to find it in an unfree world,” we chat about everything from home-education, adoption, storytelling, and secession, to gardening, whittling, maskholes, and, of course, cannabis. Some mentions in the interview: “Whatever Happened to Justice?” by Richard J. Maybury; Andrew Pudewa's Institute for Excellence in Writing, Classical Conversations, which I've written about before; and cultural-Marxist creep into homeschooling. Speaking of which, I'm the admin of a little private social-media group called Keep the PC Out of Home Education. It's one of the only remaining glimmers of hope left on Fedbook, at least in my world, so please do consider joining the cool collective. Lastly, Rachel and I talk about the bad American history that sometimes pervades even quality homeschool curriculum, so I have included a short “Civil War” essay that my oldest son penned a few of years ago. It was composed contrary to the provided “source text,” but it can give you an idea of just what you and your children can do, even within the confines of sometimes status-quo material. Like we homeschoolers say, everything is a learning opportunity! “The Uncivil War”By HoustonEssentials – Lesson 16January 18, 2018 Honestly, the Civil War, which took place from 1861 to 1865, was not a civil war at all. A “civil war” is a conflict between fellow countrymen for domination and control of the general government. A better name for it is the War of Northern Aggression since the Union illegally invaded the Southern states. Or it could be called the Second War for American Independence because the Confederate States of America was fighting for self-determination and against tyrannical central authority, just as the Founding Fathers had done. Regretfully, many people's thinking is askew on this issue. They presume the war was solely about slavery. However, it was much more complicated than this popularly mimicked moral misjudgment. Indeed, the South was agricultural and used some slave labor, whereas the North was more industrial. According to the best research, only 5 to 25 percent of Southern farmers owned slaves at the beginning of the war. Shocking to some people was that slavery existed in border states and also in the Federal capital, Washington, D.C. In fact, it was “King Cotton” that helped build the North's prosperous cities. A common myth espoused is that the evil South wanted to count slaves as three-fifths of a human, but it was really the North that pushed that “compromise.” Why? To make the Southern states impotent in Congress. Slavery was just a symptom of the protracted disease, which was a power struggle amid the North and South's differing cultures. A few other unshakable animosities included: taxing power, tariffs, and trade; the Constitution as a “voluntary compact” and the right to peacefully leave the Union; sectionalism, states' rights, and self-preservation; and Congressional representation and Western expansionTherefore, 11 indignant states parted from the Union, but each for its own reasons. For example, North Carolina and Virginia didn't secede until Lincoln sent 75,000 Federal troops marching through those states. Their citizens were simply resolved to defend their homes. This was absolutely the bloodiest war in American history. The four-year struggle between the Confederacy and its Indian allies (the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole Nations) and the Union killed nearly 700,000 men, women, and children – white, black, and Native alike. This was truly an unnecessary and “uncivil” war, and we're still living with the political consequences of it today.

Was It Really a War of Northern Aggression

Sam hosts law professor Jennifer Taub (@jentaub) on her new book Big Dirty Money: The Shocking Injustice and Unseen Cost of White Collar Crime.  On today's show: Trump says he's disappointed in SCOTUS, says courts aren't taking cases because of "standing." Sam hosts law professor Jennifer Taub (@jentaub) on her new book Big Dirty Money: The Shocking Injustice and Unseen Cost of White Collar Crime. We live in a time when selling loose cigarettes on the street can end in an execution without trial, but the rich can commit major acts of fraud and corruption and get off scot-free. In this book, Taub tracks the impact of white collar crime on normal, working people and sets forth some ideas for how the government could more effectively prosecute those who are "too big to jail." Fox and Friends weekend feel bad for Trump and the country because of the stolen election. On the fun half: Steny Hoyer says bipartisan group needs to make a deal, suggests Dems could go without state/local funding if GOP goes without liability protections. Jimmy Dore says AOC not supporting a floor vote on M4A in exchange for vote for Pelosi speakership shows that she is not a real progressive. AOC responds. My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell shares crackpot conspiracies at pro-Trump "Stop the Steal" rally in DC. Alex Jones and Tim Pool try to consider secession from US, Michael Malice appears to endorse "War of Northern Aggression" interpretation of Civil War, Alex Jones calls elections "electoral war."

Welcome back, dear listeners! To finish out our Black History Month mission of calling out racist shenanigans, Ginger talks about the Southern Strategy, which is why Republicans get to say they're "the party of Lincoln" while still using the phrase "the War of Northern Aggression." Ah, the proud American tradition of ignoring all historical context. Lots of names are dropped (Goldwater, Nixon, Reagan, Schlafly) and lots of dogwhistles are... whistled.

Don Livingston interview title: Smaller Government - & Most Everything Else - Is Still More Beautiful!  Special Guest Professor Donald Livingston Professor of Philosophy at Emory University and a David Hume scholar Author of Rethinking the American Union for the Twenty-First Century Abbeville Institute -  Large Empires w/ central government ruling. Very small republics - the public things - these were very small there were about 1500 of them. The largest was Athens. That civilization created world class artist, architects and much more. It was a very unique civilization. You mention Florence, until the state of Italy was created in 1880, they had Papal States. We need to carve the Northern part of Virginia off for sure. They handled this through Secession. Massachusetts and Maine - Maine LEFT Massachusetts! After Lincoln we get this ONE NATION INDIVISIBLE  The Pledge of Allegiance - The meaning of the war can be put into 3 words.  The war was about centralizing power NOT about slavery. TRIVIA on Gov.

The Civil War A sectional party - the hatred of the South was out of control b/c it was so fertile. Most of the goods/commodities came from the South. The political party opposed the SECTION….the South. Agitation over slavery was why SOME states seceded.  4 states voted NOT to join the Confederacy  7 States seceded and voted no.

BIOGRAPHY Mike Church Biography – “Too Catholic For Satellite Radio” In May of 2015, Chris Ferrara wrote a bio pic essay on a talk-radio host who was then completely unknown to Catholic, talk-radio fans. The Mike Church Interview: A Remarkable Conversion to Tradition Changes the Face of Political Talk Radio Featured Chris wrote of me back then, words that were too kind but serve as a basis for this biography. Indeed, over the past year or so Mike Church has emerged as the only traditionally Catholic conservative in talk radio today, anywhere in the world. And I mean traditional. Not only during my appearances on the show, but now thematically, Mike has turned the longest running political talk show on Sirius Radio into an unabashed presentation of the Social Kingship of Christ, traditional Catholic moral teaching, and even the traditional Latin liturgy as the solution to what is evidently otherwise a terminal civilizational crisis. I have been invited on the show numerous times to defend all of these things explicitly, to speak of the one true Church, and even to call upon conservative Protestants to enter the Church if they are serious about saving our nation and our civilization. From there, on October 26, 2015, my 13 year run on Sirius Satellite Radio came to a close when my contract was not renewed. Chris would follow the above bio with an updated one titled, The Mike Church Show – Too Catholic For Satellite Radio. MIKE CHURCH BIOGRAPHY FACTS Born, February 2nd, New Orleans Begun talk-radio in 1992, WSLA, Slidell LA, I have been off air a total of 7 months since. Launched the Sirius Satellite Radio service as its FIRST – LIVE talk-show on 10 March, 2003. Promoted to Morning Drive on the SiriusXM Patriot Channel, May 2009, the 3rd most listened to show on the platform From July 2007 – present, founded Founding Father Films, wrote, produced, narrated and directed 9, full length audio features, two that made it to DVD! Returned to the Roman Catholic Church’s Tridentine Mass and Tradition in 2013.

A creature whose passion for the written word is matched only by your expansive intellect and charring wit. While most dragons hoard their belongings and guard them fiercely against all intruders, you are benevolent and share with anyone who’s looking for a recommendation. You shout good writing from the door of your lair and your taste never falters. One thing you do guard fiercely, however, is your inner circle. You are incredibly protective over, and take gentle care of, the people you deem yours. And your fire breath is a mixed bag. You’re not afraid to call out ignorance and injustice and you can burn anything to the ground with almost zero effort, but you’re quick to warm up a chilled friend with a kind word. You also give amazing hugs.

Underground pioneer Steve Wynn has been making critically-acclaimed records for over thirty years. He led the Dream Syndicate, who received substantial college radio airplay through most of the Eighties, before venturing out on his own. His latest project, Northern Aggression, recorded with his band the Miracle 3, has a grittier feel than his previous efforts. Icon Fetch talked with Wynn about recording his new record and a recent ESPN-sanctioned “supergroup” called the Baseball Project, which also includes Peter Buck of REM.
