I broke my rules in sharing your post. It was that damn good. I never (almost) restack a post twice with a quote from within. I did this one three times. I also don't link anything with YT links inside (only in rare exceptions), but yours went up, again, 3x.
Thanks, Commander. I put a lot of work into it, and I wanted to say even more. If this situation is what it looks like, than it’s authors will run the day they set it into motion.
It's worse. It's always worse. I been down a lot of rabbit holes and they get darker and deeper every time. Many of them are frighteningly, horrifyingly true.
Their day will come, even if it's not on our schedule, but God's. They'll answer.
The debt must be settled, either way. If I were them, I’d much rather it was paid here and now. Eternity isn’t just “a very long time.” If they ever got a sense of it, they'd come running to those gallows unassisted.
They’re luciferians one and all, even the ones who don’t know it. The worshipful ones think they can win. Then there’s the ones following satan who don’t know he’s actually real. They think that this is all there is. I know that outlook, i lived it for a long time. It’s ALL in the here and now - a dangerous lie with eternal consequences. And they all know that the West has been bled dry, they’re fighting over the remaining scraps now.
Thank you for this, and also thank you for the intro to Starr of Apalachia. :)
I come from what some might call a "mixed" marriage... my mother's people are Scots Irish settled for many generations in the northern Alabama, southern Tennessee area. My father's people are New England/Maritime Canada Puritan stock. They themselves have conducted a graceful marriage (going on 65 years now, and counting). But the cultural differences I have always seen, between relatives on my mother's side and relatives on my father's side, are stark. It took me a very long time to work them out.
PS - I long thought that epithets like "anti-vaxxer" "conspiracy theorist" and so on, operate as a coded message, designed to say, "HIC SUNT DRACONES" -ie be warned, it's off the beaten track, no one has mapped it... here there be dragons... if you go there, if you read that, there's no telling what you risk."
In this post you have broadened and deepened this thought parameter in a most impressive way!
Such a great article. Help for the Appalachians is always a day late and a dollar short; the Internet makes Helene stand out because the Media cannot filter what gets out any longer. None of the people paid to do so had a plan. Thankfully the government hasn't managed to stamp out the "can do" spirit and neighborliness of Appalachia.
I've never heard of Appalachian Murder Ballads but the tale resonates; family have regaled me with more than a few stories of wayward spouses and payback. A man's word is as important as his honor. Family is nearly everything. These values are all anathema to the Cloud People and no doubt fuels the derision. I've more than a few relatives that know where the opioid then fentanyl crises originated; so many children raised by grandparents.
One minor nit to pick: Raddatz would be called a Jezebel by my family.
"Helene stand out because the Media cannot filter what gets out any longer. "
Exactly. Their minions can copy-paste all the "fact checks" and apologia they want. I'm almost certain a big chunk of that noise generation is even automated at this point (or soon will be). That's why they're saying such strange things, lately, like HRC's recent "we lose total control" gaffe. They are panicking. They're like the Little Dutch Boy who ran out of fingers to plug up the dike.
"A man's word is as important as his honor. Family is nearly everything. These values are all anathema to the Cloud People and no doubt fuels the derision."
We need more of those values. And fewer Cloud People.
"One minor nit to pick: Raddatz would be called a Jezebel by my family."
Haha, fair enough. It suits her, too! Although, the bloom's been off that rose for quite some time. They might even start to realize, if they poked their heads outside the bubble once in awhile.
I could see a similar thing playing out in northern Minnesota. Large copper and nickle deposits are found there. It is a water rich region though, the deposits are full of sulfates, which when they come in contact with water and oxygen, turns into sulphuric acid, which leeches heavy cancerous metals into the water. 20 years of mining for a few hundred years of cleanup.
There is also the issue, international Glencore and Antagofasta mining corporations "own" the deposits, so most of the material and money would flow out of the region and America.
A lot of the locals want it, they have historically been dems. But they are drifting. Walz is all for it. It is not a perfect parallel, but it rhymes.
I think the FAFO will be a lot different than it was in New Orleans. There's a LONG history of defiance and a willingness to die for what's right, as you deftly pointed out.
Here's hoping Appalachia truly is God's country, and that the men and women there help lead us out of this period of darkness. It sounds like you may have connections to the area; I do as well, though my family hasn't been in the US long enough to be true mountain folk. But I do wonder sometimes if growing up in that area helps me be a bit more cleared-eyed today. Something in the air or water, perhaps.
And I hope any connections you have in the area are safe and well.
Thanks, John. I'm a East Coast city boy, but my blood runs partly South and West. I'll probably fight it out here, when Pandora finishes ripping open her boxes. But might as well ship my bones to the holler. Maybe they could find some use for those.
I grew up in a Maryland border county between Appalachia and the far edge of The Swamp metro area, but moved to Oregon in my early twenties. Although I don't know how much the "hillbillies" of the non-Appalachian states descend from the actual Appalachian Scots-Irish, the fear and hatred towards that group has been an effective template for the fear and hatred of other white groups in the rural areas of other states. All states West of the Mississippi have their own local versions of the evil Appalachian dirt farmers. For example, I don't know if you know this, but the damn dirty inbred rednecks of the isolated, sparsely populated boonies of Eastern Oregon were the cause of literally every covid "surge" Western Oregon experienced, wouldn't ya know, due to their lack of mask wearing and tendency to not stay in their home all day every day for two plus years straight. They definitely deserve all those forest fires our lack of responsible forestry creates.
"...the fear and hatred towards that group has been an effective template for the fear and hatred of other white groups in the rural areas of other states."
Yeah, I noticed this too. The regime media blasts out the template day and night. It's like a kind of minstrel show for whites: you don't want to be seen as one of *these* white people, do you? Even modern shows like "Justified" engage in it sometimes, going out of their way to show the hero as urbane, not quite one of them. The last time I can remember a genuinely heroic portrayal was "The Dukes of Hazzard", and even then the villains all matched the stupid-and-evil template.
Beacon of Hope is good, I've shopped at their thrift store, but Marshall seems to be getting flooded with aid, even had the 101st Airborne on the ground (only Federal presence I saw from there to Spruce Pine. Spruce Pine and everything in the Mt Mitchell/Craggy watershed got it much worse (other than downtown Marshall, right on the river). Give to
You can learn a lot from listening to old songs. "Frankie and Johnny" reminds me of "Willie Taylor." Same basic plot except in the latter, after she shoots her unfaithful lover, she is given command of a ship and "still sails the lonely sea."
Music like this is still being made today. Have you heard Ye Banished Privateers? Their output is patchy but their song "You and Me and the Devil Makes Three" takes up the "doomed lovers" theme, with comeuppance following unwise passion.
To quote from their website: "With songs inspired by traditional Irish and Scandinavian folk music, acting and elaborate historical clothing the Privateers tell a story about the rough sailor’s life, lived on the other side of the law– and the fight against oppression and nationalism."
That last word jumps out at you, doesn't it? In what universe did 18th-century sailors fight against nationalism? Even pirates didn't fight against nationalism. As for privateers, they were the original off-uniform dirty tricks brigade. Seaborne PMICs of their day. I find it very telling that Ye Banned Privateers feel the need to denounce nationalism. They're Swedish which may partly explain it. But I think it's also that their musical tradition is deeply tied up with nationalism and even more so, ethnicity. They're not comfortable with the fact that these songs transmit the electricity of European culture down to the present day.
I'm not even a tiny bit Scots-Irish, but murder ballads in their many permutations still speak to my bones. (My European genes?) Now consider what kind of "music" the dragons want us to listen to. Consider that this stuff assaults your eardrums pretty much everywhere you go. It is aural and mental poison even at the low volumes favored in supermarkets, airports, etc., subtly degrading cognitive function and spreading cultural values which can be summed up as "MOAR SEXX." One form of mini-protest I engage in regularly is to drive around my Southern city with the windows of my truck open, blasting ancient traditional ballads.
I know the above hasn't much to do with the subject of your post but I have nothing to add to that which is printable.
Mark. I’m rarely archiving or saving articles but this is one. The arguments so solid and rigorous and the evidence trail so heavily trodden that it’s a keeper. Perfect for fence-sitting normies with half a brain and honesty in their hearts to process and then ultimately to open themselves to a richer life of critical thinking and questioning about where we are at on the level of trusted institutions.
Mountain people have been the eternal internal enemy of the feds since Washington's (the man and the institution) inaugural massacre in the Whiskey Rebellion. Echoes of the same when the estrogen laden social engineers in WASPland enacted prohibition. Unlike certain other ethnicities who are supposed to have "built this country" the Scots-Irish have a reasonable claim to the title and the wispy lispies *hate* us for it. The list of names at the head of all that is good or bad in this country and its history, from the westward expansion to our engineering and medicine, is topped by us.
As for stupidity or malice, they're the same thing, stages in the life cycle of the same organism. Malice begets stupidity, and stupidity begets more malice. Every bit of incompetence is born of malicious destruction of something that worked, or malicious construction of an institution that was never needed. When it fails or is rejected, the angst of its engineers and dependents devolves to more malice. Repeat as needed until apocalypse.
If you believe in chemtrails (and I have a personal story from just a few days ago to back up the reality if you need it) then you should believe in the weather modifications that they have been doing since the 40s with silver nitrate and now with the added bonus of using directed energy weapons with HAARP and 5G towers. I’ve read several articles about this by popular Substack authors recently (I can look them up if you’re interested). Lyndon Johnson in a speech in 1962 at SW Texas State University stated “He who controls the weather will control the world.” What Helene and Milton were engineered to do was more genocide and to render those who survived unable to vote…I’d say this was the ultimate “October Surprise” or “Black Swan” event.

Great, great essay. I loved the turn where it became "I" and "we."
Thanks, Jeff.
Oh I’m a good ol rebel now thats just what I am
For their vile land of “freedom” I do not care a damn
I’ll gladly fight against it, not sure if I will win
I’ll gladly fight against it for god and land and kin
I hates their rights and ‘mendsments
Their demock-racy too
I hates their unelected
Who beat us black and blue
I hates that nasty pride flag
With all its pomp and fuss
And them lying thieving federals
I hates em wuss and wuss
I hates this modern nation
And everything they do
I hates their declarations
of transcendent virtue too
I hates their glorious union
That stomps us into mud
I hates this whole damned country
Built from forefathers blood

My two cents:
If you believe in chemtrails (and I have a personal story from just a few days ago to back up the reality if you need it) then you should believe in the weather modifications that they have been doing since the 40s with silver nitrate and now with the added bonus of using directed energy weapons with HAARP and 5G towers.
