Free Florida First will have a booth at the Newberry Watermelon Festival on Saturday, May 17, 2025

We have had a booth at the Newberry Watermelon Festival since 2012. In the past we have always had a pleasant and productive day. 

Nevertheless, we remain alert to potential conflict in light of the current political atmosphere, particularly given Newberry’s proximity to the socialist enclave of Gainesville (home of the Marxist University of Florida). But thus far we have experienced very little negative feedback. Still, we never know when BLM or Antifa or some other group of communist agitators may discover us -- regardless, we shall soldier on by the Grace of God.  His will be done!

We always sell a significant number of our flags and meet many like-minded folk.

The event is scheduled to be held from 9:00am-3:30pm at the Country Way Town Square in Newberry, Florida. Why don’t you come out and introduce yourself to us! (NOTE: Admission is free, but there is a parking fee of $5 per vehicle.)

Every year we set up booths at several area festivals. It is an opportunity to get ourselves before the public and let folks know that some of us still strive to stand in the old ways and ask for the old paths. We proudly display the banners of our fathers and encourage folks to work for a Free, Independent, Godly, Prosperous, and Traditionally Southern Florida.

Jeremiah 6:16a
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. . . .

We believe that it is increasingly important for us to show our devotion to the principles that undergirded the Confederate States of America and to make our presence known in our local community.  We strongly advocate for individual liberty and a minuscule government that is truly by the consent of the governed. Won’t you consider joining with us?

Here’s what our booth will look like (we shouldn't be hard to find):

And here are some of our compatriots who have manned the booth with us:

So, come out to the Watermelon Festival, visit with us, and buy some flags to help support our efforts, and then go home and fly them, to show your own commitment to liberty and truth.

Here’s a sample of the 3’ X 5’ flags we offer for sale at the festival for $10 each or three (3) for $25.

The proceeds from our sales help us to continue our work for liberty and truth.

Stand up and show your colors and STAND AND FIGHT FOR SOUTHERN RIGHTS!

By the Grace of God we will continue to do so!

Invitation to Confederate Memorial Day 2025 at Landmark Baptist Church

Remembering Those Who Fought Against the Immoral Invading Hordes from the north.

On April 26th and 27th, Landmark Baptist Church and Free Florida First will jointly mark Confederate Memorial Day 2025.

This commemoration is by Confederates to the memory of Confederates. There will be no recognition of the evil yankee empire, nor of it striped rag. That villainous flag is dripping with the blood of our ancestors and with the blood of many other innocent victims since that time.


You will find an online invitation and details of our events here:
www.libcfl.org/invite/

According to Florida Statutes, Confederate Memorial Day is a recognized legal holiday.
http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0600-0699/0683/Sections/0683.01.html 

In today’s political climate, it’s not surprising that attempts are made virtually every year to eliminate the Confederate Memorial Day holiday, but fortunately it has been avoided to date. But regardless of what carpetbagger and scalawag politicians may do, our celebration will continue on, by the Grace of God. We can’t control Tallahassee or DC, but we can control ourselves. 

In 1900 a red St. Andrew’s cross was added to our Florida’s State Flag as a remembrance of our Confederate ancestors and defenders.

The Confederate soldier is most worthy of remembrance and recognition. Those soldiers fought in defense of their homes, their families, their way of life, and their state. In spite of the manifest lie that the modern day storm troopers of the amerikan empire are fighting for our freedom, the truth is that the Confederate soldier was the last veteran to fight in defense of our God-given rights.


The amerikan empire is certainly no less tyrannical today. So, more than a mere remembrance, we have dedicated ourselves to taking up the banners and the sacred Cause of our Confederate forebears. We seek a truly Free, Independent, Godly, Prosperous, and Traditionally Southern Florida. 

You will find a large display of historical flags at our observance, even some early US flags. You’ll see the Betsy Ross flag (designed by the Southerner, George Washington). You’ll see the 15 striped “Star-spangled Banner” of which Southerner Francis Scott Key wrote his memorable poem. Ironically, the tyrant Ape Lincoln imprisoned Key’s grandson within the walls of Fort McHenry for his opposition to the yankee cause from within the pages of his newspaper. And you’ll see many other flags of our Southern Nation (70 are displayed in total).

You’ll see the Florida secession flag of Colonel William Chase, who removed the multiple stars of the failed union from the blue field of the US flag and replaced them with the single-star of a Sovereign and Independent Florida.

 

What you will NOT see are any modern US flags (since we sought to go our separate way in 1860). We DO NOT honor the flag of the invaders of our country, not on this day – not on any other day. Nor will we ever pledge allegiance to the tyrannical union by reciting a “Pledge of Allegiance” written by a South hating, socialist yankee.

 

Above is a replica of the Battle Flag of Florida’s Marion Light Artillery, in which my G-G-Grandpa, Sergeant John Cauthen Strickland, served. As the banner declares, he and his compatriots fought for “God and Our Rights” as free Southern men. By the Grace of God, we hope to continue that struggle against the increasingly evil and thoroughly perverse amerikan empire.

The following link contains descriptions of all the flags displayed during Confederate Memorial Day:

https://libcfl.org/articles/flags4.pdf

Quite simply, when it comes to the striped rag of the amerikan empire: “Ain’t my flag; Ain’t my country.” It has not been so since 1861. It appears to me that the time is approaching when true Southerners will be called upon to fight against that banner once again.

 

In the words of Major Innes Randolph, C.S.A. (taken from his poem, “I’m a Good Ole’ Rebel”): “I hates the glorious Union – ‘Tis dripping with our blood - I hates their striped banner, I fought it all I could . . . I'm glad I fit against it, I only wish we'd won, and I don't want no pardon for anything I done.”

From time to time, some folks will admonish us that the war is over and that we should simply forget and move on. We have no intention of doing so. We happen to agree with Pastor R. L. Dabney, who served as Chief of Staff for Lt. General T. J. “Stonewall” Jackson:

“What, forgive those people who invaded our country, burned our cities, destroyed our homes, slain our young men, and spread desolation and ruin over our land? No, I do not forgive them.”


R. L. Dabney

Furthermore, it’s not over yet -- not by a long shot. It’s not over as long as there are any of us who remember. It is not over as long as there are any of us still committed to picking up the banner and the Cause of our fathers and to continuing their struggle for independence and self-determination. That is why they hate our banners, our monuments, our remembrances, and above everything else – why they hate us.

We pray along with our great chieftain, Robert E. Lee, that God may be pleased to “give us a name and a place among the nations of the earth.”

If you are likewise inclined, come out and mark this day with us. On Saturday there will be a special memorial service at our flag pole, followed by placing flags on Confederate soldiers’ graves in a local cemetery.

Sunday there will be a special Confederate Memorial Day church service, in which Pastor Wilson will take on the character of Confederate Chaplain R. H. Lafferty and preach his sermon Fast-Day Sermon delivered on February 28, 1862.

We do not mark this day simply because some of our ancestors served in the Confederate Army or Navy or Marine Corps. Many who will celebrate with us have no Confederate ancestors. We mark this day because those who fought against the northern invasion were right in their actions and pure in their motives and we seek to stand with them. 

We do not seek simply to remember those who struggled against the yankee invaders, but as our ancestors noted in the Declaration of Independence in the First War for Independence, “we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor” in the struggle against Leviathan in the 21st Century. 

 

Come out and encourage yourself and others as you fellowship with like-minded Southern patriots.

Are You a Confederate or Are You a Republican?


You can pretend all you want, but you really CANNOT be both!!

The Republican Party has always been the enemy of the South. It always will be the enemy of the South.

Donald Trump is hardly a Savior. He is a liberal New York yankee in a long-line of imperialist Republican yankees.

For today's blog I offer an excerpt from an article by the brilliant economist and historian, Thomas DiLorenzo. I think it worthy of you consideration.

Trump’s Heroes, America’s Enemies

“In his inaugural address President Trump called President William McKinley (1897-1901) ‘great’ and proudly announced that he had changed the name of Mount Denali in Alaska back to Mount McKinley. The reason the president picked McKinley of all past presidents to heap praise upon is that McKinley was a lifelong political tool of big business, primarily Northern state manufacturers who championed protectionist tariff taxes so rabidly that he was called ‘the apostle of protectionism’ and ‘the Napoleon of protectionism.’ . . . The admitted economic ignoramus William McKinley became the political heir to the corrupt Hamiltonian ‘American System’ of corporate welfare, protectionist tariff tax plunder, and central banking. (His predecessors in that regard were Hamilton himself, replaced by Henry Clay, who was in turn replaced by Lincoln). . . . the Republican party by that time stood for imperialism, emboldened by its conquest of the South and its campaign of genocide against the Plains Indians from 1865-1890. ‘The idea of expansion and imperialism had deep roots in the Republican party.’ . . . During the McKinley administration Hawaii was annexed literally at bayonet point as the king of Hawaii was forced to sign ‘the bayonet constitution’ and disenfranchised native Hawaiians. . . . McKinley sent troops to the Philippines to quell the Philippine Insurrection, which was fought in opposition to the replacement of the Spanish empire with the American empire. Historians say as many as a million Filipino civilians were killed along with 200,000 ‘insurrectionists.’ . . . the U.S. government had finally abandoned once and for all the notion of being a mere union of states and had become an empire, the objective of all American imperialists beginning with Lincoln.”

~ Thomas DiLorenzo

           =================

Pastor Wilson’s Comment: DJT is no better than his heroes, Ape Lincoln and Wm McKinley. BEWARE!! Can you remember how that turned out for Southerners? WAKE UP!!!! Yankees are always meddling, and unable to just leave folks alone. They could not leave our Confederate ancestors alone. They could not leave the native Americans alone. They could not leave the Filipinos alone. They could not leave the Columbians and Panamanians alone. They cannot leave the people of Greenland alone. Ukraine, Russia, China, etc., etc., etc. Now Trump wants to extend the empire to the Gaza. It's NOT amerika's business. Ultimately the amerikan empire will bring about its own death! My trust remains in a Sovereign God!!

The Confederate and Christian Case Against Donald J. Trump

Donald J. Trump is a soulless, unprincipled politician like virtually all the others. He is additionally a liberal, Lincoln-loving, New York yankee. He is without foundational principles and has all the morality of an alley cat -- AND yet somehow many of my Christian and Southern brethren are under his spell.


Some folks will accuse me of supporting the Democrats and the California whore Kamala Harris, since I do not embrace the charlatan, Donald J. Trump. Nothing could be further from the truth, but that’s really not the point. If the only way you can make Trump look the least bit appealing is by contrasting him to Harris and the Democrats that is all the proof I need of his vileness.

I believe that I have a duty to speak out. I intend to do my duty, and as the Lord told Ezekiel “whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear” – so I must do my duty.

I have not written a well-annotated research tome. The things set forth here are readily verifiable. Should you doubt them, you can easily confirm them yourself.

* Trump has stated that he will establish a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” and “will launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy. When possible, we will press criminal charges.”
– Does that sound anything like “free speech” to you, or does it sound more like 1984?

* In 2018, during his first administration Trump promoted anti-gun Red Flag laws: “I like taking the guns early . . . To go to court would have taken a long time. . . . Take the guns first, go through due process second. 

* In 2018 Trump implemented new federal regulations to ban bump stocks, utilizing the thoroughly corrupt and unconstitutional BATF. 

* Trump has vacillated between being pro-abortion to being anti-abortion to being pro-abortion once again.
 Recently Trump stated Florida’s abortion ban was a mistake and that he thought “the six week (ban) is too short — it has to be more time . . . I want more weeks.” [More weeks to murder more babies!]
 And don’t even talk to me about “State’s Rights” – what we are dealing with here is MURDER and that is wrong in every circumstance! 

* Trump now calls himself “Father of IVF.” In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure that involves the destruction of multitudes of embryos (i.e., the murder of unborn humans). 

* Trump is a promoter of sodomy and of the LGBTQ movement. In his first administration Trump appointed an open sodomite (who was “married” to another man) to head national intelligence and most recently he has nominated another open sodomite (who is also “married” to another man) to an important economical position. Oh yeah and this gem of a “fellow” is also a Democrat and a former associate of George Soros. Lovely! 

Romans 1:26-27 
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:  (27)  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
 

* Trump’s cabinet during his first administration was atrocious, and his current cabinet is shaping up to be just as bad.
– Numerous necons have been appointed to important foreign affairs positions (notably Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth).
 Pro-abortion advocates have been appointed to high level health positions (RFK, Jr. and others).
 Recently a sheriff, who arrested a pastor for preaching in violation of tyrannical covid restrictions was appointed to head the DEA. [Of course those restrictions were put in place because of Trump and his Emergency Declaration relative to the covid scamdemic.]
 A Hindu has been nominated to head the FBI. 

* Trump still proudly calls himself the Father of the Vaccine” and of “Operation Warp Speed” which he considers “one of the greatest miracles of the ages.” 

* Trump attempts of maintain a façade of Christianity, but admits that he has never in his life REPENTED of anything
– Repentance is foundational to genuine Christianity!
 

Luke 13:3 
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

– Yet when asked if he has ever asked God for forgiveness for his actions, Trump responded: “I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. . . . I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”
– He does, however, make a joke of taking communion as a Presbyterian: “When I drink my little wine  . . . and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed.”
 When asked who Jesus Christ is Trump responded: “Jesus to me is somebody I can think about for security and confidence. Somebody I can revere in terms of bravery and in terms of courage and, because I consider the Christian religion so important, somebody I can totally rely on in my own mind.”
– Trump never mentions that Jesus Christ is GOD or SAVIOUR.
– But it seems that Trump has no need of a Saviour, for he has stated the he does not “like to have to ask for forgiveness. And I am good. I don’t do a lot of things that are bad. I try to do nothing that is bad.”
 In a 2015 video Trump asks: 'Why do I have to repent or ask for forgiveness, if I am not making mistakes? . . . I work hard, I'm an honorable person."
 Trump considers himself an “honorable person”. The man who wrote the bulk of the New Testament cried out:

Romans 7:24
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

1 Timothy 1:15
. . . Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

– He once remarked to an associate: “You never blame yourself; you have to blame something else. If you do something bad, never, ever blame yourself.” 

* A Google search for “sociopathic” gives the following as a result: “Sociopathic is an adjective that describes someone who has antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) or who behaves in an antisocial or asocial way: . . . Sociopaths may have difficulty caring about others, and may lack empathy or remorse for their actions. They may also be impulsive, hostile, and have a weak moral compass.”
– Does that sound like anyone you know?
– I did not say that “Trump is a sociopath.” He might rather be a psychopath, you can look that one up, if you wish.
– Personally, I will not be surprised should I find out that he is the Anti-Christ, though only time will tell, and I am neither a prophet, nor the son of a prophet.

Perhaps you will at least consider these things that I’ve written. Or perhaps you will feel the need to ban me, to block me, to unfriend me, or to denigrate me. But don’t say that no one ever said anything to you. And at least give it some thought before you get one of those brain chips advocated by Trump’s buddy Elon Musk implanted.

Trump is NOT to be trusted. He has proven that to us time and again; and yet the blinded, tranquilized Trumpsters continue to cheer him on. When the tyranny comes from the Left folks seem to be able to recognize it. When it comes from Trump, folks embrace it.

In Trump’s narcissistic, sociopathic world, people are made to be used and discarded. THAT INCLUDES YOU!!!!

DON'T BE DECEIVED!!!

I have very little hope for amerika, but I have absolute trust in God.

Judge as you must, I write these things out of concern for my fellow Christians and my fellow Southerners.

Galatians 4:16 
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
