Must churches obtain official 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt from taxation?

One thing you must have if you desire to perpetrate a conspiracy is a certain amount of secrecy. You may not be able to fool everybody all the time, but you need to be able to fool enough of them so that almost no one knows what you have done until it is "set in concrete" so to speak. Therefore, should there be any written evidence or proof of what you have done, it must be kept from the public at least long enough for the damage you've done to become firmly entrenched so that it is almost impossible to undo it. Awhile back, we found out that Roosevelt had, indeed, known the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor ahead of time and that he failed to warn those generals in command there (after all, he needed scapegoats). What can be done about that now except to write about it as one more example of how the American people have been lied to and duped? And the Martin Luther King tapes--not to be released until fifty years after his death? At that point, who will be around that had anything to do with those events? No doubt those tapes will make lascivious history--but so what? Whatever was done during those years cannot be remedied now.

These days a growing number of American citizens clearly understand that things are not going well.

Al Cronkrite, a freelance Reformed Christian writer living in Florida, has written several articles dealing with the Constitution and why it is not really what we have been taught to believe it is. In an article in The Covenant News in July of 2009 Mr. Cronkrite noted that most today view our Founders as mostly Christian men "...who produced documents that, if they were not expressly Christian, contained Christian principles. Others find it strange that Christian men would fail to encode the name of the Savior or refer to His dominion." That thought brings a different dimension to the question--one that Gary North referred to earlier.

At this point, another plan was also submitted, the Virginia Plan. Mike has observed of this plan that "It was a plan for a national or consolidated government. A motion was made to lay this plan aside and instead work toward an effective government, rather than a national government. This motion to lay aside failed by a tie vote of 4-4. The delegates then voted to affirm the draft model of a national or consolidated government (6-1-1)." Sure didn't take some of these delegates all that long to change their votes from a federal form to a national form of government. I found it ironic that the plan for a truly federated government came from someone in the Northern state of New Jersey, while the plan for a national, consolidated government came from Virginia.

Tennessee Senator Edward Ward Carmack said in 1903, “These Confederate soldiers were our kinfolk and our heroes.” He also said, “The people of the South have the right to teach their children the true history of the War Between the States, the causes that led to it and the principles involved.”

In May of 1776 the Colony of Virginia held a convention to determine the course of action that Virginia would take in the rapidly deteriorating crisis with the English Crown and Parliament. On May 14, 1776 sitting as a Committee of The Whole the question of Independence was discussed. Archibald Cary was presiding and Thomas Nelson introduced a resolution marked “No. 1” which was in Patrick Henry’s hand writing. There were three different resolutions, but only “No. 1,” the one written by Patrick Henry proposed that Congress be asked to make for all the Colonies a “clear and full declaration of independency.”

Mr. Galles also noted that: "One of the most insightful of the Antifederalists was Robert Yates, a New York judge who, as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, withdrew because the convention was exceeding its instructions. Yates wrote as Brutus in the debates over the Constitution. Given his experience as a judge, his claim that the Supreme Court would become a source of almost unlimited federal over-reaching was particularly insightful."

Professor Marshall L. DeRosa, in his 1991 "The Confederate Constitution of 1861:An Inquiry into American Constitutionalism", notes that the primary objection of those opposing this new Constitution, lay in its ambiguity concerning the "locus", or place, in which ultimate sovereignty resided. Sovereignty, of course, denotes supreme political authority, which the Antifederalists were anxious to preserve to their States.

The 10th National Confederate Memorial Day Service will be held Saturday April 9, 2011 on the lawn in front of the World's largest Confederate Memorial at Stone Mountain Memorial Park. This service is to honor the Confederate Soldiers who served their country during the War Between the States. Re-enactors will fire rifle and cannon salutes in their honor.

It is a matter of history that Mrs. Chas. J. Williams, of Columbus, Ga., instituted the beautiful custom of decorating soldiers' graves with flowers, a custom which has been adopted throughout the United States. Mrs. Williams was the daughter of Maj. John Howard, of Milledgeville, Ga., and was a superior woman. She married Maj. C. J. Williams on his return from the Mexican War. As colonel of the First Georgia Regulars, of the Army in Virginia, he contracted disease, from which he died in 1862, and was buried in Columbus, Ga.

The Georgia and North Carolina Division’s will be Holding a Joint Dedication of the New North Carolina Monument for the 29th and 39th Infantry Regiments at the Allatoona Pass Battlefield on Saturday April 9, at 11:00 am.

The Confederate History Month Committee of the National and Georgia Division Sons of Confederate Veterans proudly recognizes and appreciates the signing of proclamations by Southern governors, mayors and county commissioners since 1995 designating the month of April as “Confederate History and Heritage Month.”

Gary North, in his book "Political Polytheism" observed that "...the Constitution removed Christian religious tests as the judicial requirement of the judges and officers of the new national government. That, in and of itself, delivered the republic into the hands of the humanists. Nothing else was necessary after that. From that point on, the secularization of America was a mopping-up operation." That's a much different assessment than most of us get of the Constitution, even in Christian circles. I must admit that when I first saw North's book I was a little hesitant about his thesis and where he was coming from. As the years have passed I have become less so.

It seems that, under the Articles of Confederation, there were states rights, as each state was considered sovereign and independent. However, with the ratification of the new constitution, that seems to have disappeared. Historian Clarence Carson has noted that, regarding the Articles of Confederation: "This bent, or tradition can be traced to many sources. Americans were, above all, a people of the book--the written word--the Bible. There was the Puritan idea, too, of the Covenant, an agreement between man and man and between man and God...Colonists had drawn their own political agreements, such as the Mayflower Compact and the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut...Once the colonies had broken away from England, the only historical allegiances that remained were to the states and localities...At any rate, there should be no doubt that the government of the United States under the Articles of Confederation was brought into being by the states."

However, over the years, events have changed my thinking.

For many years, when I first got into all the events that have helped to shape the direction I have gone in, I had a good friend, and sometimes mentor, Pastor Ennio Cugini, of the Clayville Church in North Scituate, Rhode Island, half a country and a whole culture away from where I am now. Pastor Cugini had a radio broadcast in Rhode Island called "The Victory Hour" which he used vigorously to expose the machinations of Communists and socialists, both in government and in the churches (yes, they were, and are, in the churches). He was also an avid reader of history. You have to be to be able to deal with what has gone on in this country for over two centuries.

Historically, gun registration has been a prelude to gun confiscation.  Almost 20 years ago, JPFO (Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership) documented how several foreign governments in the Twentieth Century had used gun control -- and quite often gun registration -- to confiscate firearms.  In each case, such gun confiscation was a prelude to genocide.

March 4th, 2011 marks the 150th Anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration as President of the United States. Lincoln idolators and court ‘historians’ are certain to gush forth with fluff and flowery prose about how Lincoln “saved the Union” and “freed the slaves” when history shows that he did neither -- in fact, he did just the opposite, as we'll show below.

The Georgia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans has created several one minute videos. This video is on the Regional Differences that were a major factor resulting in War.
