Goodrich and Spingola, a force to be reckoned with. And I know first hand that the caller who reported that we who speak with a Southern accent are treated with scorn by northeners, even some who are anti-Israhellist street activists for 911 truth. Very dismaying!
I love Deanna Spingola and Thomas Goodrich. So, the following comments should not be taken as personal attacks against those two wonderful people, both of whom do great work. If Deanna's radio broadcasts and "Hellstorm" were required listening and reading in our high schools, I would certainly feel a lot better about America.
It is grotesque to compare what was done to The South to what was visited upon National Socialist Germany. There is no comparison. The magnitude of the destruction, cruelty and naked sadism visited upon Germany, the millions upon millions of German civilians killed, the millions upon millions of German women and girls raped in the most brutal ways possible, and all the outrageous lies, blackmail and slander directed up until this very day at that country which had been completely crushed... what happened to The South, however humiliating, unnecessary, unfair and tragic, is not in the same universe.
Furthermore, comparing The Confederacy to National Socialist Germany is extremely problematic. The National Socialists worked for, and were later forced to fight for, their people-- their Volk. Still later, they fought for the protection of other peoples whose national and cultural sovereignty and very existence were threatened by Communism and Capitalism. They did not work and fight for the preservation of the institution of slavery and a form of aristocracy that leads to the moral, economic, cultural and intellectual stagnation of the great mass of the people.
Those who care about truth and humanity have to stop romanticizing the Good Ol' South. Yes, the vast majority of Southerners did not have slaves, and much of what the North did to the South is inexcusable. However, these facts must be acknowledged:
-- Southern elites led their fellows into supporting secession because they did not like the idea that more and more people in the opening territories (and in the North) did not want slavery to spread into the new territories. Many of these people saw slavery, correctly, as immoral; they could do their own hard labor, thank you very much; and many of them did not want a huge number of people quite different from themselves living in their midst. To put it bluntly, the South actually fought against the much heralded ideal of "States Rights."
-- These Southern elites and opinion makers got a hell of a lot of enthusiastic support from their citizens by brazenly distorting and lying about what Lincoln actually said, wrote and believed in. Anyone who has looked into this ridiculously dishonest propaganda can certainly understand why Southern Whites would be scared to death of Lincoln, even though he explicitly and repeatedly stated his views on race, colonization, tolerance for slavery where it was practiced, etc.
-- Whatever one thinks about Lincoln, how can it not be understood that the secession of the Southern States (and their firing the first shots, lest we forget) put him in an almost hopeless situation? After all, it must be recognized that, if Lincoln had not gone to war at that time, war would have been absolutely unavoidable at some point down the road, as the two competing countries expanded their territories in the West.
-- The Southern piety we have heard so much about is of the distinctly Old Testament-centric variety. What we see manifest today in the most slavish and disgustingly pro-Jewish Southern preachers and mega-churches goes a long way back. It can be read in the words that were used over and over again by preachers and political leaders to defend the institution of slavery and The Confederacy.
