WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO BECOME A GENERAL IN THE CONFEDERATE ARMY?

Why would anyone want to become a General in the Confederate Army?

The real Alex Jones has stated that his ancestors were colonels and generals in the Confederate Army.

WTF?!?!?!?

The self-proclaimed leader of 'the resistance' is the spawn of a Confederate General?!?!?

WTF?!?!?!?

Jones' ancestors must have really believed in what they were fighting for.

And I mean really, really, really believed in it.

But what was that "it"?

That "it" was slavery.

Read every single one of the ordinances of secession of the Confederate states and you will find that slavery is the primary reason.

Now, there is a movement which is trying to say that no, it wasn't about slavery, it was about tariffs. One academic pushing this is Thomas Di Lorenzo, whose writings have appeared on Infowars several times. Di Lorenzo criticises Lincoln and calls him a hypocrite for freeing the slaves. Di Lorenzo believes that it was the 1861 Morrill Tariff that was the cause of the US Civil War. But dear readers, Alex Jones and associates included, I challenge you to find one single mention of the Morrill Tariff in the ordinances of secession. So WTF is Di Lorenzo on about then? All the ordinances and declarations state the civil war was fought by the Confederacy to defend slavery. Even that most ugliest of men, physically and morally, Alexander Stephens, the Confederate Vice President, said in his Cornerstone Speech of 21st March 1861 that Africans were inferior to whites, that slavery was a natural condition for Africans and that the Confederacy was created to defend slavery.

So I ask again: what the fuck is Di Lorenzo on about blaming an obscure tariff that no Confederate state cites as their cause (they all cite slavery as their primary reason in agreement with Stephens).

But more worryingly: what the fuck is Infowhores doing publishing the work of Di Lorenzo? And not only that, Paul Craig Roberts cites Di Lorenzo (Roberts is a good ol' boy) as an authority on Lincoln and the Civil War.

And not only that: Jones has guests on to defend the raising of the Confederate Battle flag, guests such as Pastor Chuck Baldwin, who Jones appeared to worship and allowed Baldwin to spew lie after lie after lie about the honour of General Robert E Lee.

And, as I have been stating for months now, President Andrew Jackson, as portrayed in G Edward Griffin's The Creature from Jekyll Island, did not smell of pretty pink roses (Griffin also critices Lincoln and calls him a hypocrite for freeing the slaves). Jackson:
1. was one of the most powerful and largest slaveholders and planters in Tennessee;
2. would have his slaves beaten (one died under mysterious circumstances);
3. was a tool of the British in destroying the BUS2;
4. betrayed the Cherokee by beginning their forced removal (a Cherokee saved Jackson's life);
5. was the Godfather of the Confederacy because Jackson's forced removal of native Americans from their ancestral lands allowed slaveholders and planters to claim native American ancestral land which the planters appreciated by giving Jackson 100% of the vote in Confederate states;
6. organised a raid on Negro Fort in Spanish territory to capture fugitive slaves and paying $50 for each captured slave;
7. and far from being a bank slayer it was Jackson who gave the Rothschilds their big break by appointing them as agents for the US in Europe.

So I'm wondering where this very worrying trend of neo-Confederacy on Infowhores has come from: is it PJW? Or is it Jones? Maybe both?

Many in the South, whites that is, still dream that the South will rise again. Indeed as I pointed out yesterday, in South Carolina, the home of the secession, Trump's supporters overwhelmingly wished that the Confederacy had won the US Civil War while the supporters of the other GOP candidates were glad that Lincoln won.

That longing, that yearning for the South to rise again could have been passed on through the generations of the Jones family. Perhaps his family still cherish the swords and regalia that their muggins ancestors wore in battle.

We just don't know.

Which is why Jones needs to either provide a detailed history of his family's relationship with the Confederacy, but at the very least provide the names and ranks of his ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, and state if they were slaveholders or not.

I hope I am beginning to get through to you how serious a situation this is.
