(Dennis Joyce) My Dear Confederate Patriots,

How fitting that the LOS should hold its 2005 conference at Jekyll Island, the same venue that President Woodrow Wilson and his treasonous band, including those who had worked for this under Theodore Roosevelt as the Aldrich bill which failed, including such as the Morgan, House, Warburg, gave birth to the plan for an act of congress to hand over this nation's economic well being to private banking interests, Jekyll Island, Georgia! There they plotted and planned in privacy the Federal Reserve Act designed to steal the wealth of the United States into the pockets of the few world super rich now termed "Bilderbergers". By 1933 they had achieved much of their theft with the President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’ seizure of privately held gold and the Nation’s gold in Fort Knox.

Below is a copy of Dr. Michael Hill's cover report for the public (other agenda discussed not publicly reported);

The League held its 12th annual national conference on beautiful Jekyll Island, Georgia, from 30 September to 1 October.

Franklin Sanders gave the Keynote Address outlining the League’s new strategy. Jonathan Ingram addressed the issue of how we can provide service and support to the growing home schooling movement in the South. John Chodes gave his usual penetrating historical lecture. This year’s topic was "Jabez Curry and the re-education of the post-bellum South." Prof. Mark Winchell reported on the recent activities of the League Institute for the study of Southern Culture and History.

Georgia State Chairman Ray McBerry roused the audience with his brilliant and inspiring talk on "Why I’m a Southern Nationalist." Tom Moore encouraged us all to withdraw our consent from the empire and its corrupt institutions. Michael Hill concluded the program by restating the League’s new strategy and by imploring LS members to make even greater sacrifices for the cause of Southern independence.

The League held four rotation workshops on Friday afternoon on fundraising (Franklin Sanders), creating and using issues (Ray McBerry), local political action (Mike Crane), and creating alliances and coalitions (Robert Hayes and Ed Eichelberger). Our thanks go to these gentlemen for their expert presentations.

In addition of the annual Robert E. Lee Duty Awards, the League honored the most successful State Chairman in 2004-2005 (Mike Whorton, Alabama) with the Stonewall Jackson Award. We presented three Jefferson Davis Southern Nationalist Awards, the most prestigious given by the League. The Davis Award acknowledges a lifetime of service to the cause of Southern independence. This year’s recipients were Ray and T. R. McBerry (Ray’s young son, who travels with Ray everywhere he goes), and LS Board member Franklin Sanders.

Because of the recent hurricanes and the high cost of gasoline, attendance was down from last year’s conference in Montgomery. However, the 200 plus attendees showed tremendous spirit and enthusiasm about the League’s new and well-defined direction. Simply put, we have the best people in the world in the League.

We are much obliged to Ray McBerry and officers and members of the Georgia League for hosting this year’s conference. We couldn’t have done it without their help. Next year, we will hold the national conference in Tennessee during the first half of October, God willing. Details will be forthcoming in future issues of this newsletter. We hope to see you there.

Dr. Hill, and his supposedly august body of merry men, continue to espouse Nationalism.

Nationalism is loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially : a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups.

Well, it sounds good, real good, except the League of the South (LOS) isn't speaking of loyalty to the Confederate States of America, the legitimate, but occupied and un-staffed Southern Nation. They are speaking of starting a new Southern Nation.

Can you imaging what that horse will look like, given today's education and comprehension abilities, coupled with the ivory tower thoughts of Professors who drool over their power to reduce students to mere parrots?

Nationalism and Federalism are the twins of liberty destruction. Both favor strong central government. The League has no plan that doesn't add to the glory of the League. Supposedly all must ally with them for us to be free.

Franklin Sanders outlined the League's thoughts on how to move forward. Here is the pared down version;

The League of the South seeks

[Goals]

1. to create a climate of public opinion conducive to Southern Independence.

The sad fact of the matter is, you don't create public opinion, you manipulate it. The only way a Confederate has to manipulate opinion is on the stump. The media is controlled by the very empire the League supposedly rails against.

We must attend every event where people gather and get speaking time at those events. We may be very uncomfortable at some of those events and the attendees may even be hostile to our message, at first. [Our] Truth is what must be hammered home at every opportunity.

2. making the League the leader of that movement

The League has spurned every attempt at alliances. Ideas have been put forth that were sound and workable but, the organization, or representative, submitting the idea was ridiculed and the counseled to wait.

Confederate leaders have been waiting, 9 years, for the League's vaunted plan. We cannot wait another 9 years for them to look around and see if they actually have a plan.

Notice the "How" of the League. It contains 5 bullet "thoughts," that should be 2.

[How?]

3. by delegitimating the empire

4. through creating alternative, legitimate, popular institutions

5. exercising moral leadership,

6. as the servant-leaders of the Southern people

7. in organic local communities.

The above is a shining example of academic wool gathering. When you have no ideas add more words! This amounts to Academia theoretical gobbledegook containing some high sounding ideas for which they have no hope or means of implementing and even if successfully implemented would not achieve an independent nation per se.

First of all, the uS Empire (Federal Union) is doing a stellar job of delegitimatizing itself. The South has suffered 2 natural disasters, at the hands of hurricanes, and another disaster handed us by the empire.

Their inept handling of this disaster still has families separated with no knowledge of the other members whereabouts or even if they are alive.

The Empire's idea of help is massive troop/police deployment, blocking aid and disarming the public. There have been three specific instances where the Federal government tried to suspend the Second Amendment.

The first was in Mississippi when FEMA/MEMA agents appeared at a civilian relief station and went nuts because some workers were armed. Their solution was to threaten to confiscate the supplies and disarm the workers.

Folks, when disaster strikes is no time to surrender your weapons, unless you have a death wish.

The Empire, also, likes to spread "democracy" around the world and has us bogged down in a country were their was no threat to us and had been a good trading partner, until Zionists in Israel decided that country was a "threat" to them.

In the Leagues item #4, above, we are back to creating a country and government from scratch. How long does it take to "create" a viable institution? I don't know but, it takes a darn sight longer than 9 years and we have run smack dab out of time.

"Servant-Leaders?" Now there is a concept but, it is totally foreign to the leadership of the LOS. Servant-Leaders are elected by the people of the community. That means you must stand for election, and win, to be a Servant-Leader.

The hierarchy of the LOS is autocratic and the sub-leaders are under the thumb of its President, Dr. Hill. He has arbitrarily removed elected leaders because they didn't espouse to his LOS party line. The Southern Party, founded by the LOS, was destroyed, by the LOS, because it took off in a Confederate direction. And, the LOS didn’t stop there, but tried to destroy Confederate movements that sprung up naturally without Dr. Hill’s sanction.

I see no leadership, plans for actually restoring the government of the South or anything but more delays while we "create," meet and publish more volumes of words. There are hints at a planned monarchal type structure for a government of "True Federalism" with the formation of a "Confederal Union". (See page 7 & viii in the Grey Book)

Mr. Sanders (a director on the LOS Board) told us just what the elite of the League think of us mere mortals and ordinary Southerners;

"As the recent troubles in the Sons of Confederate Veterans has shown, or the Southern Growth Policies Board, or Southern Business and political leaders, the biggest thing wrong with the South is -- Southerners. I don't mean only the scalawags and collaborators who betray the South for money and place, but all those who love themselves, the sound of their own voices, and their own quirky ideas, more than they love their country."

"As it is with the South, so it is with the League of the South. The biggest thing wrong with the League of the South is its members -- including y'all."

The above sounds like what I would expect from a damned Yankee who believes only his views have merit.

I cannot continue for it churns my stomach.
