Invitation to Confederate Memorial Day 2024 at Landmark Baptist Church

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

On April 20th and 21st, Landmark Baptist Church and Free Florida First will jointly mark Confederate Memorial Day 2024.

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:

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 (over 50).

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.


Placing Flags in the Archer Cemetery 

Sunday there will be a special Confederate Memorial Day church service, in which Pastor Wilson will take on the character of Confederate Chaplain J.D.D. Refroe and preach his sermon delivered on August 21, 1863 in response to the proclamation for a fast day by our honourable President, Jefferson Davis.


Pastor Wilson as Chaplain J.D.D. Renfroe

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.

Shame Upon the Southern Man Who Wears the Coat of Blue

There are several excellent renditions of the old post-war song “Wearing of the Gray.”

The song is based upon the old Irish tune “Wearing of the Green.” Which contains the lyrics:

Oh, Paddy dear, did you hear the news that's going 'round?

The shamrock is forbid by law to grow on Irish ground

Saint Patrick's Day no more to keep, his color can't be seen

For there's a bloody law again' the Wearing of the Green. . . .

She's the most distressful country that ever yet was seen

For they're hanging men and women there for Wearing of the Green.

It should be no surprise that one of my favorite renditions of “Wearing of the Gray” was recorded by the Irish Patriot Derek Warfield.

You can find his lyrics here (with some added comments in parenthesis):
https://www.songlyrics.com/derek-warfield/the-wearing-of-the-gray-lyrics/ 

Some of  his most moving and convicting lyrics are these:

Now honor to the soldier

Who still is firm and true,

And shame upon the Southern man

Who wears the coat of Blue!

I say “convicting”, for I in fact wore a coat of Blue, as I served the evil empire, as an officer of US Marines for eight years. I would never do it again. If I had understood then what I do now, I would never have done it then. I warn all young Christians and all young Southerners against joining the empire’s military.

  • Do you want to be employed against your fellow Southerners when they stand against the oppression of the empire (consider Texas attempting to protect its own borders)? Or consider the coming secession that looms on the horizon?

  • Do you want, as we would sometimes joke, to “travel to distant lands, meet exotic people, and kill them” [or perhaps be justifiably killed by them]?

  • Do you want to be billeted with or led by sodomites and mentally ill self-mutilators (trans-sexuals)?

  • Do you want to be commanded by those who hate your heritage, hate your ancestors, and hate your faith?

I pray that I may be forgiven for having donned that dishonorable coat of blue. Lord knows I did it in ignorance and in misplaced “patriotism.”

I’m 73 years old, but the only uniform I intend to ever wear again will be one of gray!!!

Free Florida First to Be at 34th Annual Peanut Festival

Lord willing, Free Florida First will have a booth at the 34th Annual Central Florida Peanut Festival on Saturday, October 7, 2023. The festival will be held from 9am to 3pm at the Heritage Park in Williston, Florida.


We have had a booth at the Peanut Festival since 2011. 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 our fellow Southerners to work with us for a Free, Independent, Godly, Prosperous, and Traditionally Southern Florida. Essentially, we just want to be free from the tyrannical government in DC (the District of Corruption) and be left alone to live our lives as we see fit. [It really makes no difference at all who may happen to be in the yankee "White House".]

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. . . .


Our presence at the festival has not always met with universal approval. Here's my blog from 2019 about an ignorant and biased letter that was written to the local communist rag (The Gainesville Sun) about our participation:


So come on out to the Peanut Festival, visit with us, buy some flags, 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.


It is important for us all to stand up, show our colors and FIGHT FOR DIXIE!

(Mo)Ron, There Ain’t No “Free State of Florida”

Wherever he roams, Ron DeSantis brings greetings from what he calls: “The Free State of Florida.”

 

Please give me a break, Ronnie!!! The government of Florida does not acknowledge God-given rights. Just try to open carry a firearm in Orlando and see what happens. And those Red Flag laws imposed by Florida’s last carpetbagger governor, Rick Scott, are still on the books, without any opposition from Ronnie boy. Yeah, there is no “due process” in Florida.

 

Make no mistake about it; Ron DeSantis is a dyed-in-the-wool unrepentant CARPETBAGGER.

 

According to Wikipedia: “All of DeSantis's great-grandparents immigrated from Southern Italy during the first Italian diaspora [approximately 1880-1920]. His parents and all of his grandparents were born and grew up in Western Pennsylvania and Northeast Ohio.

 

Yes, Ron happened to be born in Jacksonville, Florida, but there is absolutely no evidence that he has any appreciation for Florida’s Southern culture and history. He was educated at Yale and Harvard, and it shows.

 

Admittedly, people may grow, and learn, and change, but Ronnie has NOT – and he’s demonstrated that!

 


Consider now the suppression of free speech and expression in Florida.

 

In May of this year Ronnie signed into law HB 269 and you can rest assured that it will eventually be used to prevent you from displaying the flags of your fathers.

 

In accordance with Ronnie’s new law, a man was arrested for “hanging swastikas and other antisemitic banners along the Daryl Carter Parkway Bridge in Orlando.” [From the FDLE Press Release]:

https://www.fdle.state.fl.us/News/2023/FDLE-Announces-the-Arrest-of-Orlando-neo-Nazi-Demo

 

Understand that I brook no sympathy for the Nazis. They are, after all, SOCIALISTS AND NATIONALISTS!! I advocate for true LIBERTY for everyone. That includes FREE SPEECH!

 

Free Florida First was once associated with a larger “Southern Nationalist” organization which we left “for cause” in 2013, due in large part to their affinity for Nazism and some particular Nazis. If you’re interested you can read more about that here:

https://truthcrushedtoearth.blogspot.com/2017/07/they-held-such-promise-some-thoughts-on.html

 

Nor am I anti-Semite and I’ve written about some of the more perverse ideas of some within our Southern movement on more than one occasion:

https://truthcrushedtoearth.blogspot.com/2017/08/who-is-enemy.html

https://truthcrushedtoearth.blogspot.com/2016/04/grow-up-and-stop-blaming-others.html

 

 

But Ronnie’s new law makes it a crime to display a flag on so-called “PUBLIC PROPERTY”, should the governor happen to disagree with it. Do you think Ronnie reveres our Confederate banners? Can’t you see where this is going?

 

There are already laws against trespass. There are already laws against damaging the property of others. But Mr. DeSantis’ new law will be enforced against specific people, and specific banners on roads, thoroughfares, bridges, etc.. Now don’t hold your breath waiting for this law to be enforced against the LGBTQ sodomites. Don’t hold your breath waiting for this law to be enforced against the racists of BLM. That ain’t gonna’ happen! But you can rest assured that it will soon be enforced against Confederates like you and me.

 

I expect that soon we will be told that it’s a violation of the law to display Confederate flags on your vehicle, at your own home, or upon your own person. After all, someone may not like it. The governor may not like it.

 

For instance, NASCAR is already there:


 

You’ll note that there’s no mention of BLM or LGBTQ flags or imagery.  In fact, they are usually invited and embraced.

 

Note that these people consider the symbols of our culture and our history to be “obscene.”

 

Do not do business with them!!

 

Do not vote for them!

 

RESIST!!!


Live as free Southern Christians!!


Secede in your own heart and mind!


Abjure the Realm!!!

Continue to Educate Yourself and Others While It Is Still Possible

This week’s blog is an update of one I originally posted in 2016.

I felt the need for an update in light of some of my most recent dealings with Fascist Book.

Over the past couple of days I've received several warnings offering me the opportunity to alter my behavior before they ban me -- this seems to be a new thing.  An example appears below:

I guess that I’m not doing very well at Fascist Book reeducation camp, and I always select “Post anyway.”

Then I get another subsequent warning something like this:

I've declined each offer to submit to their tyranny and always selected “Ignore”.

At the very least, it looks like their AI “fact checkers” cannot understand sarcasm!

FYI: Here is my main Facebook account:
https://www.facebook.com/gregscv

In any case, I suppose I will soon be gone. I know not for how long. Perhaps forever. In the interim, you might check out my very close friend, Justin Case. Until they cancel him as well.

 And here is the account for my “very close friend” Justin Case:
https://www.facebook.com/JustinCasegregscv

If I am eventually eradicated from Fascist Book, I will continue my email mailings, though they too are often marked as spam or junk mail.

You will read more about that below in my original post from 2016.

**************************************** ORIGINAL POST FROM 2016 *************************

Mark Twain has been credited with saying: “If you don’t read the newspapers, you are uninformed. If you do read them you are misinformed.”



Until relatively recent times, there were few alternatives to the corporation newspapers, and their successors, the corporation broadcasters.

With the advent of the internet, a plethora of news sources opened up, many of them solid and reliable; and some perhaps not so much. One can, however, become a well-informed and rational thinker by carefully searching through the reliable information that is available on the internet today. I seek to do this daily as I visit a multitude of web sites including, Lew Rockwell, The Ron Paul Institute, World Net Daily, Newsmax, The Rutherford Institute, American Thinker, Breitbart, The New American and many others – and adding in for good measure some reliable and intelligent bloggers, like The Captain’s Journal (Herschel Smith).

I would encourage everyone who reads this to make every effort to educate themselves as well. If you don’t believe that you have the time to visit these sites every day, I would encourage you to at least browse through our weekly paper, Just for Your Consideration. I compile it from information that I consider to be of interest and value gleaned from a multitude of sources.

Some of you already receive the paper as a PDF attachment to my weekly email blog. If you are not subscribed, you can request to be added to our mailings on the Free Florida First web site: 
https://freefloridafirst.org/list.htm 

There is also a direct link to the most recent edition of the paper at the bottom of my weekly blog entries:
https://truthcrushedtoearth.blogspot.com/

These alternative and reliable sources of information are increasingly coming under attack. Virtually all of those mentioned above are being designated as “fake news sites” by the government bureaucracy, the corporate media and those who control the gateways to the internet such as Google and Facebook.

Those who desire to control us are none too pleased that you have sources of information other than their agreed upon and vetted propaganda.

Moves are underway to restrict the free flow of information on the internet by any means possible. The past is being rewritten and the present is being obscured in order to usher in a future that our controllers have planned for us mundanes. It is a future envisioned by George Orwell as a boot stamping on a human face.


Further Orwell noted: “He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.”


You can rest assured that our enemies are doing all they can to control the present . . . and thereby the past and the future.

RESIST . . . EDUCATE YOURSELF . . . EDUCATE OTHERS.

Be the Resistance!

Deo Vindice!

TRUST GOD!

STAY IN THE FIGHT!

NEVER GIVE UP!

NEVER QUIT!
