The 1861 Cherokee Declaration of Independence
- By Mike Scruggs
Why the Cherokees Sided with the Southern Cause
On August 21,1861, the (Western) Cherokee Nation by a General Convention at Tahlequah (in Oklahoma) declared its common cause with the Confederate States against the Northern Union. In separate sympathetic actions their brethren, the Creeks, Seminoles, Choctaws, and Chickasaws joined in this determination. A formal treaty was finalized on October 7, and on October 9, John Ross, the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation called into session the Cherokee National Committee and National Council to formally approve and implement the treaty and future course of action.
In 1861, there were two principal groups of Cherokees in the United States, the Western Band with a population slightly over 20,000 and the smaller Eastern Band in North Carolina with a population of only about 2,000. Both sided with the Southern Confederacy, but the larger Western Band made a formal declaration of independence from the United States.

February 22, 1770-Harbinger of Revolution?
- By W.H. Lamb
BOSTON: THE SEEDBED OF ANTI-BRITISH SENTIMENT
I’ve been to Boston, Massachusetts several times, and aside from the horrid traffic, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each visit. Great food, especially at the venerable Union Oyster House and the now defunct Durgin Park restaurant, and lots of one of my favorite subjects: History. My wife and I have walked “The Freedom Trail” through Boston several times (the last two visits with our family), and each of our “treks through history” has taken us to OldGranary Burial Ground, which is full of the graves of the famous (Paul Revere, John Hancock, Sam Adams, James Otis, Mary (not Mother) Goose, Benjamin Franklin’s parents, Robert Treat Paine), and the not-so- famous of our early history. One grave marker in that ancient cemetery has always intrigued me, for carved on it are the names of five people whose deaths have been well documented in history. They are the five Bostonians who were killed by British soldiers during the infamous “Boston Massacre” on March 5, 1770, which occurred in front of the Old Statehouse Building: (Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Crispus Attucks, and Patrick Carr). I’ve stood on the exact spot where they died. It is the 6th person that usually eluded my attention, the death of whom might have been THE catalyst that eventually ignited our American Revolution.

Embracing Economic Freedom: Lessons from Javier Milei's World Economic Forum Address
- By Veronique de Rugy
In a thrilling address at the World Economic Forum, Javier Milei, President of Argentina, presented a robust defense of capitalism and a critical examination of all forms of collectivism. His speech, rich in historical context and economic analysis, offers some vital lessons that are particularly relevant for today's globalized economy. Sadly, these lessons have long been ignored by American politicians on the right and left, whether in Washington or on the campaign trail.
Milei began with a stark warning about the dangers of collectivist policies based on Argentina's own, sometimes sad, history. Once a beacon of prosperity under a capitalist framework, Argentina's shift toward collectivism over the past century caused its prosperity to plummet from a leading global position to a much lower rank. Its story illustrates how losing sight of free-market principles can result in economic stagnation or even absolute poverty.

Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation Part 5
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One strong piece of evidence for Biblical creation that came out of the RATE project. Part of this project involved testing a very important assumption of radiometric dating. The assumption tested was that atomic decay rates are constant for each isotope. This is an important experiment because if nuclear decay rates were greatly accelerated at any time in the past radiometric dating would be completely invalid.
The research started with radioactive uranium isotopes and their decay products measured in the zircon crystals found in granite. The key to testing The assumption of radiometric dating is the diffusion rate of helium out of zircon crystals based on the amount a radiometric decay that has been estimated to have occurred in the subsequent helium produced over the amount of time that the crystals have existed. The scientists doing this research created models based on both time periods. One was a uniform rate of decay over the approximately 1 1/2 billion years that zircons were dated to. The other was 2 periods of accelerated nuclear decay during the Biblical time scale. These two events would have been during the creation week and the genesis flood.

The Assassination of Donald Trump and The Revenge of MAGA
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
They can't stop him by concocted sex and Russia-collusion charges, by two impeachments, by election theft, by the unprecedented and criminal home invasion of an American president, by endless bogus lawsuits, or by de-balloting.
Like an irrepressible and indefatigable figure from Greek legend, attacks on his MAGA movement and persecution of his person and family have made Trump ever stronger and ever more popular. So, that leaves Rasputinesque assassination as the only option left for the desperate Dems.
And, if and when Trump is assassinated -- probably sometime this election year -- America will explode.

Reviewing the Immigration Disaster
- By Mike Scruggs
Congressional Immigration Grades for NC and SC
According to the Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform (FAIR), illegal immigrants were costing American taxpayers $182.1 billion per year at the beginning of 2023. These illegal immigrants contribute only $31.4 billion in federal, state, and local taxes paid, leaving American taxpayers with a net cost of $150.7 billion per year. Also according to FAIR, there were 15.5 million illegal immigrants in the U.S at the beginning of 2022, and President Biden’s unlawful Open Border policy has added another 6.0 million in just two years, bringing it to 21.5 million. Many knowledgeable immigration scholars believe illegal immigrants may now number well over 30 million, and thus the net 2023 fiscal cost for illegal immigration was far in excess of $200 billion. The truth is that we have completely lost control of immigration and the ability to estimate and contain its mounting fiscal costs.

CIVILIZATION’S INTERREGNUM – Part 8
- By W.H. Lamb
THE DARK TIME
(CA. 2300 A.D.—CA. 2400’s A.D.)
(A continuation of a lecture by a fictional “history professor” to a class of young adults, sometime in the 32nd century.)
“We ended our last class session as one of the most gruesome and evil episodes in mankind’s history—“The Nationality Wars”—began to run down, leaving those who survived to face an even more terrible scenario. During the period of these “Nationality Wars” (ca. late 2100s A.D. – early 2300s A.D.), another religious group was attacked by the mostly Christian, or pseudo-Christian, survivors or descendants of those who had lived in the Old United States.
“People of the “Moslemist Faith” were hunted down and killed or driven into exile into Old Mamoda. This conflict appears to have begun during the early decades of The Nationality Wars, and may have been precipitated by the violence between the Chin Empire and the New Euro “Inshalists” (a Euro sect of the Moslemists of the Great Northern Continent, or GNC). By the mid point of The Nationality Wars most of the Moslemists of the GNC had escaped into what was known then as The Mamooden Protectorate, taking their faith with them. This religious tradition became the dominant (and only) religious belief allowed in Old Mamooda, and was known as “Mamoodism”, or “The Mamooden Faith” by the early 2500’s A.D.
