We recently reported that in Arizona, Marana High School, has banned the Confederate Flag from its campus.  

Now we've discovered that there has been such a large local outrage expressed over the decision that the School Board has scheduled a meeting to RECONSIDER the decision. 

The school board will re-take-up the issue at a January 12th meeting. If you are anywhere near Marana please make every effort to attend this meeting and speak on behalf of our ancestors and their Flag. 



Confederate General's Name to be Removed from Major Texas Street

The street, which parallels US 59 south and east of downtown, was named after Dick Dowling,. The Houston City Council this week renamed the street Emancipation Avenue.  



GOVERNOR WANTS TO ELIMINATE ROBERT E. LEE HOLIDAY

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson has ask the Legislature to end the state's practice of honoring Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert E. Lee on the same day.

He said removing the Confederate general from the holiday honoring the civil-rights leader is the right thing to do.

Hutchinson on Wednesday said his agenda includes removing Lee from the King holiday. Arkansas is one of three states that honor Lee and King on the third Monday of January. An effort to remove Lee from the King holiday was rejected by a House panel in 2015.

Hutchinson said the proposal he's backing would mark a day in October to honor Lee but not create a state holiday for it.

ROOF CASE MOVES TO SENTENCING PHASE

The same jury that last month unanimously found Dylann Roof guilty on all 33 federal charges is returning to court to begin contemplating his punishment.

With the mentally unstable 22-year-old representing himself, the process is sure to be unconventional. 

While prosecutors plan to call up to 38 people, Roof said last week he plans on calling no witnesses and presenting no evidence.

Typically in what's known as the sentencing phase, defense attorneys call relatives and other witnesses to testify about their client's unsteady state of mind before and during the crimes. Given that background, the defense hopes, a jury might be more likely to spare the defendant's life and opt against the death penalty.  But Roof, who is acting as his own attorney, has said he plans to do no such thing.

The slight delay in resumption of the proceedings has come because Judge Gergel ordered another competency evaluation of Roof "in an abundance of caution," after his standby counsel filed a motion again questioning Roof's mental ability to proceed. The judge's order specified he saw no reason to delay Tuesday's start of the penalty phase.

Lawyers attempting to assist Roof have tried repeatedly both to stop him from being his own lawyer and to work mental health-related evidence into the first phase of his trial.  Prosecutors objected at every turn, and Judge Gergel wouldn't allow any of it into court, ruling mitigation evidence is allowable during sentencing and not before.

Court papers show prosecutors are expected to present evidence showing that Roof picked his victims because of their race, killed them to incite more violence, showed no remorse and killed three particularly vulnerable people who were 70 years old or older.

Evidence speaking to Roof's mental state, one expert argues, could make the difference between life and death.

"The Dylann Roof case is a classic example of the type of problem you can have when an obviously mentally ill or emotionally disturbed defendant is permitted to represent himself," said Robert Dunham, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center. "There's a huge difference in the eyes of a jury between someone they perceive as evil or despicable and someone they perceive as being seriously mentally ill. ... If you take mental health out of it, you are putting a thumb on the scale of death."

Both the judge's decision to allow Roof to represent himself and waive the introduction of mental health evidence are sure to be raised in an inevitable appeal, Dunham argued.

Roof also faces nine murder charges in state court, where prosecutors have also said they will seek the death penalty in a trial likely to begin sometime next year in the event that Roof is not sentenced to death in his federal trial.






In first Corinthians 16:9 the Apostle pens, "For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries." 

I have carried a heavy burden for the island nation of Cuba, her churches, and their pastors since the mid 1990's.

At first, all I could do is pray. So I did so fervently and continuously. My prayer warfare for the Cuban brethren resulted in my making several missions trips to Honduras, Belize, Mexico, Guatemala, and Caribbean islands. These trips have been fruitful. But the burden for Cuba remains.

Cuba, unlike other Latin American countries, is a very difficult place to establish and maintain contacts. This is because for years both the Cuban and U.S. governments monitored all communication coming in and out of the island nation. Cuban pastors were extremely leery of overtures from Americans. They would usually not communicate with me directly and when they did the conversations were very limited. To accomplish anything, I had to broker relationships through third parties in other latin countries. And it was only a matter of time before the "go betweens" would start skimming. This would often mean that an entire process would have to be started over.

By the 2000's, the restrictions of Communism had begun to ease. But it was still difficult to communicate with Cuban pastors because the cost of phone calls into and out of Cuba is simply not within the grasp of the typical Cuban pastor. And even in 2016 the internet is almost non existent in Cuba.

The Internet in Cuba is characterized by a low number of connections, limited bandwidth, censorship, and high cost. While the government reports an internet penetration rate of 30 percent almost all of that is dial-up access. In 2015, the Cuban government opened the first public wi-fi hotspots. That said, there are a whopping 35 public wi-fi spots in the entire country. And most of them are broadcasting dial-up connections. So needless to say, the average Cuban pastor either does not have eMail - or he does but he does not have regular access to it.

And I've even had a difficult time communicating with Cuban officials by eMail. I do not know if it is our government, or if it is individual providers, but to give you an example, attempt to eMail Cuba via an AmericaOnline mail server and your message will be undeliverable. Our school runs through Canadian servers and I can usually get the messages through that way. But even when you reach them, Cuban officials are not that helpful.

The internet situation in Cuba is improving. The Cuban government has now authorized internet access through cell phones. And they are negotiating with Verizon to build the network. So as the cellular network improves, so will the people's access to the internet. That said, even though the internet is becoming increasingly available via smart-phone, most Cubans cannot afford a smart phone.

U.S. and European tech companies are just recently going to work improving Cuba's ability to deliver internet. The government has promised high-speed internet in every home by the end of the year 2020 (lets pray for that).

Anyway, it has been a 21 year labor. But I will be leading a team into Cuba in May.

We will meet with Cuban pastors and see first hand the works that they are doing.

We will also be putting technology and Bible college curriculum directly into the hands of Cuban pastors, preacher boys, and church leaders.

The Lord has burdened us to provide the Cuban pastors and preacher boys with iPads and cell phones.

If you would like to donate an UNLOCKED smart phone that uses a sim card (it can be used) please let me know so that we can put it into the hands of a Cuban during our May trip. We also welcome the donation of used iPads. We will also provide a complete Bible College curriculum with the phone or iPad. This will enable the Cuban recipient to use the device as a study tool and further prepare themselves in their Christian service.

In addition to accepting donations of used phones and iPads, we will also be taking as many NEW iPads as we can purchase.

Will you help us with this?

I would love to give a Cuban pastor or church worker an iPad in your name.

For just $400 we can buy a brand-new iPad and an external drive which we will load with curriculum and take it with us to give to a Cuban pastor or church worker.

Maybe you wish to purchase a single iPad as a personal gift to a Cuban church worker? Or maybe you want to make this a missions project for your church and purchase multiple iPads?

Please let us know. We need to have everything purchased and ready to go by the end of April in order to get them into Cuba during our upcoming may trip.

Maybe you do not wish to donate an entire iPad but the Lord has laid it on your heart to contribute to this bold and extensive effort. Any gift will be a blessing. Use the link below to send a gift in any amount to help with Project Cuba:

There are a lot of great things that I will be sharing with you in the weeks ahead as we prepare for our first of many outreaches to Cuba. Stay tuned.

Please take a moment to reach out to my office with any questions or prayer requests. Always remember that you can call on me at any time!

Happy New Year,
Chaplain Ed 




DID A TEXAS SCV LAWSUIT SET BAD PRECEDENT?

The January oral argument calendar includes two major cases about freedom of speech. Although they arise in quite different contexts, they each raise questions of how far the First Amendment extends to limit government regulation.

In the case of Lee v. Tam, t he Supreme Court granted review, and oral argument is scheduled for January 18. A host of issues are raised in the briefs of the parties and the many amici. Tam, and some of the amici who write briefs in support of his position, argue that the Federal Government can not limit or restrict speech because someone in the government finds that speech to be offensive. 

The United States argues that it is just the government creating eligibility for a program it runs.. Tam, by contrast, argues that the government cannot condition a benefit on having to give up a constitutional right and that the Patent and Trademark Office was impermissibly conditioning the substantial benefit of trademark registration on it having to relinquish its speech.

Tam, like the federal circuit, wants the court to see this as the government punishing speech based on the viewpoint expressed, something that triggers strict scrutiny under the First Amendment. It is firmly established that the government cannot regulate speech just because it is offensive, even deeply offensive. But the government sees this akin to speech by the government and analogizes to the court's recent decision in Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans (2015), which held that license plates are a form of government speech and Texas therefore did not have to issue plates with the Confederate flag.

Pray that the Court does not consider the decision in Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans as  precedent  because if they do, they open the floodgate for government enforcement of PC.

The following comes from the BBC:

No Church or Priest Necessary for France's Civil Baptisms
by Andrew Parrish
Dec. 12, 2016

No church, priest, Bible, or water, presided over only by "Marianne," the female symbol of the French Republic: this is the way civil baptisms are performed in France, in a rite which dates back more than 200 years and traces its origin to the humanistic Revolution. Its practice is now on the rise, seen as a way to affirm the humanist values of the French Republic at a time when they are perceived to be under threat.

Rachid and Emmanuelle Bensaci are two parents who decided to baptize their daughter, Tessa, in the Republican rite. The solemn ceremony took place on the 9th of October, in the town hall of Cormot-le-Grand, near Dijon in Central France. The mayor, Marc Denizot, wearing the tricolor band of the French Republic, presided over the ceremony. Tessa was baptized and sponsored by Julie and Valerie, the godmothers and friends of the parents. This symbolized the reception of the one-month-old into the republican community of France. The civil baptism or sponsorship is on the rise in many of the mayorships of the country.

"For us, civil or republican baptism corresponds to our convictions and commitments as French citizens and citizens of the world," Rachid told BBC World. "We believe in the universal values of the French Republic in relation to religion; I and my wife are personally agnostic. Baptism fits our humanistic and republican values. . . It's very official, but has no legal character. It is for love, brotherhood and friendship that we entrust our child to our friends," he said.

His wife Emmanuelle added, "For me it is a way to have the advantages of religious patronage, that is, that a child should be the protégé of people other than his parents, but in a secular way. It is important that our child should have protectors who are not her parents."
The rite with which such lay baptisms are celebrated does not have an obligatory norm. In most cases, the mayor officiates, and in most cases it is attended by relatives and close friends of the child's parents. So it was for Tessa Bensaci.

"You can call it a kind of party," says Rachid. "The mayor prepares a room where - as, for example, in weddings - you must have the image of Marianne, the symbol of the republic. They deliver some documents to sign, even if they have no legal value."

"The mayor explained why we were there and then gave the floor to the godfathers or godmothers, who give a speech with much love and friendship, profound sentiments about how they will accompany our son: it is a moral commitment. Then, the mayor says a few words and at the end, with the consent of the parents, he declares the godparents and they sign the documents," he added.

The origin of this rite - whose formula has been evolving - must be sought in the aftermath of the French Revolution of the late 18th century. According to the most widespread version of the story, the National Assembly, headed by Robespierre, adopted a law instituting the practice of civil patronage on June 8th, 1794. By the same account, it was Robespierre himself who celebrated the first baptisms of this type in Paris.

"There has not always been the same story about this baptism. The terminology and the story of its origin vary . . . and, as far as I know, it does not exist in other countries," says the ethnologist Rachel Guidoni, who notes the almost mythical character of the origin story of civil baptism.

"The original significance is that, after the French Revolution, they wanted to reintroduce rites, especially rites of initiation, but without the religious content they had had previously. They wanted to create secular, republican rites - and with reference to rites of initiation, in the Catholic tradition, that is baptism," she adds in conversation with BBC World.

In addition to this character as "rite of passage", the civil baptism is also used as a tool by groups which support undocumented migrants, to make the living conditions of such people visible.

"It is a way of pressuring the prefect into regularizing the situation of the person being sponsored," suggests Emmanuelle. "Papers are not automatically granted, but [sponsorship] can have an impact when their dossier is reviewed, though it does not always happen," Rachid adds.

More than 200 years after French revolutionary fervor has faded, and virtually forgotten for decades, the civil baptism is gaining adherents once more. At the moment, a draft law is under consideration that will introduce formalization of the civil rite. There is no official count of how many republican baptisms are performed annually in France, but a recent article published by the newspaper Le Monde provides some clues. In Lyons, 181 ceremonies were held in 2015. In Nantes, there were 135, an increase of 15% from 2014. In Paris, where 13 of 20 district councils offer this service, there were 325 civil baptisms.

For Rachid, republican baptism is an act vindicating equality in the fact of the identity conflicts which, in his view, are alive in France.

"For us this is a possible response to cultural, religious or other discrimination. In my case, I am of Maghreb origin, of the Arab culture, a Muslim and a Berber. My wife is from a Christian culture. We have decided that our son should have the lay values of the republic, and that is a complete response to the current problem," he said. "The republican baptism was born in the French Revolution to confirm that, beyond the Church, and within the framework of the separation of Church and State, the republic can have moral values; that morality is not the unique heritage of religion."

LOSE WEIGHT - KEEP YOUR RESOLUTION - SUPPORT THE CAUSE 

Admittedly, this week's offer is a unique one. Not the kind of offer we would make every week. But this is NEW YEAR'S and we know that many have made a resolution to lose weight. 

Garcinia Cambogia, also known as the Malabar tamarind, is a small, sweet, Asian tropical tree fruit shaped like a pumpkin. In the late 1960s, scientists discovered an acid in the fruit somewhat similar to the citric acid found in fruits like oranges and lemons.

That acid-called hydroxycitric acid, or HCA-has been featured on the Dr. Oz. show and used by celebrities like Oprah as their miracle weight loss supplement.  

If you ordered Garcinia Cambogia on Oprah's TV program you'd pay almost $60 for a month's supply. A lot to spend just to TRY something. 

This week, anyone who donates $20 or more to Dixie Heritage will receive by postal mail a one-month supply of Garcinia Cambogia. 

The proceeds from this week's gifts will be forwarded to our friend H. K. for his upcoming events surrounding the LEE and JACKSON day festivities. 

Its a WIN-WIN. 

Your gift will help promote heritage activities and you get a jump start on your New Year's resolution to lose a few unwanted pounds.

FROM OUR READERS

Tim Adams from Montana submits the following, which was also 
published
 in his local newspaper as a letter to the editor: 

AN UNAPOLOGETIC DEFENSE OF UN-PC CONFEDERATE FLAG ISSUE
Sandy Perry was stunned - stunned I tell you - in the Nov. 20 Inter Lake at the insensitivty of the children's parade to honor their friend Zachary Rhoads after his tragic demise by displaying the Confederate flag.

But what is the big deal? These children aren't advocating a return to slavery, and I doubt their friend did. If anything intellectual is happening here it's most likely these boys - it's always boys flying Dixie's battle flag - are in favor of more liberal states' rights.

Even more so, it probably is just an unspoken defiance toward people who don't want them to fly that flag because of their personal PC always-offended-about-something-stance. So the kids are giving them an in-their-face middle-finger salute. Hats off to the kids and their all-American spirit. I bet their friend ZR would be proud of them.

And that flag carries within its threads a spirit of battlefield manliness with its attending glory, honor and even chivalry - never spoken but always present. And these boys without really thinking of it, sense the presence of these elements.

Why won't the liberals (Democrats) let this issue go? They are the ones that formed the KKK after the Civil War that grew to approximately 4 million members at one time. It was the Klan that lynched about 3,446 Negroes, Republicans and Jews and a handful of Christians that defended them. And it was the Democrats that fought against the Civil Rights Act (1964) and the Voting Rights Act (1965). And it was their ranking member Sen. Byrd who led that opposition and was himself a recruiter for the Klan. And if you talk to any white Democrat not in politics south of the Mason-Dixon line he will tell you he hates "niggers" - their words not mine - unless they are to-the-bone Christians. I know this from experience.

My Civil War era grandfather, Alonzo Slayback, was a colonel in the Confederate Calvary of Gen. J.O. Shelby's Iron Brigade and was one of the last to surrender after retreating into Mexico with this unit after Lee's surrender - his mother found him in Havana, Cuba, and told him to get his butt home and take care of his wife and five children. What a hoot - a Momma's boy!

Anyway, on his return to Saint Louis, his home - and mine long ago - and after his official letter of surrender - I have a photocopy - was received, he was invited by the Jefferson Barracks command in Saint Louis to give the inaugural speech that officially opened the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery there. And he did.

If these officers who lost family, friends and countrymen under the sword of my grandfather were willing to respect and honor his service to Dixie and let the passions of all-out war die, why can't these Democrats stop stirring the pot of racial conflict over a defeated flag.

And here's something that will make a current Democrat's head explode: Alonzo Slayback's wife - my grandmother - received a slave for a wedding present at their marriage. And yes, they knew it was probably wrong, but no doubt had many reasons to justify it.

But that was then and common in that age. Just as it is common today for the Feminist Sisterhood and their geldings to advocate and perform cruel murders on fully viable babies in having their brain suctioned out at 99 percent birth - aka partial birth abortion.

Question: Would you rather be a slave soon to be set free - or not - or a fetus in the womb of a feminist Democrat. Let the boys wave their long dead symbol of a lost cause and be brave. Many of them will one day carry your Stars and Stripes battle flag onto the fields of glory and come home with it draped over their coffin to secure the rights of Democrats to hate their own country and kill children. Both of which greatly offend me, and God.



Al Benson submits the following:

Please Pass the Planned Poverty

How many folks chanced to drive through parts of the South in the 1950s, 60s and even in the early 70s and noted how poor the country seemed to be compared with other areas of the United States? Many probably wondered why the South couldn't seem t do better that it was doing. To say that the South, in our lifetime, was and is the poorest part of the country, with the possible exception of Indian reservations, is no exaggeration. And yet, knowing some of the reasons for that and the history behind it, my wife and I, now living in Louisiana, would not willingly go back north to live. The South is home, and we have been more content here than just about any other place we've lived, for several reasons.

There are reasons for the poverty in much of the South and for the poor whites and blacks that live in it, and in many cases the poverty is not their fault. It was intended for them to live that way by those that sought to conquer them during and after the War of Northern Aggression and by the descendants of those conquerors who, even today, enjoy rubbing their faces in the planned poverty that is supposed to be their due because their ancestors had the temerity to stand up and "dare defend their rights." Such is not to be tolerated in the cultural Marxist milieu.

To explain some of this, Ron and Donnie Kennedy have a new book out called Punished With Poverty published by Shotwell Publishing in Columbia, South Carolina http://www.ShotwellPublishing.com which I would recommend to any and all who wonder why the South has been in the particular situation we have found her in today. About the best way I can say it (excuse my bluntness) is that those collectivist types that overran the South during and after the War planned it that way. If Southern people were too poor and beaten down to fight back again, why there would be no future resistance to what would eventually morph into what we call the New World Order.

To quote the Kennedy Brothers: "Several years ago and elderly friend of the Kennedy Twins told a story about how his grandmother often stated that 'those people tried to starve all of us to death after the War.' Two things struck me about this man's story: First, his grandmother lived in North Central Louisiana, a section of the South that was not even physically touched by the War; second, his grandmother was not talking about starvation as a result of military action in and around her home but the actions of 'those people,' that is, Yankees, well after the War. The war was over, what happened to the idea of 'with malice toward none,'..." If you've read the history you know what happened to it. It was nice Lincolnian political rhetoric and that's all it was.

And the Kennedys noted also: "(A) leading Northern newspaper called for a terrible retribution against Southerners: 'We mean to conquer them, Subjugate them...' Never would traitors be permitted to 'return to peaceful and contented homes'; instead they 'must find poverty at their firesides and see privation in the anxious eyes of mothers and the rags of children." Now isn't this just an ennobling Northern sentiment? Somehow this isn't quite the picture of the noble, generous and forgiving Yankees that i was taught about in my public indoctrination center's "history" books. The Kennedys ask the question: "Did the nation that spawned the articles quoted above, calling for Northerners to 'conquer and subjugate' the South and leave the future generations of Southerners to 'find poverty at their firesides and see privation in the anxious eyes of mothers and the rags of children,' institute a Reconstruction policy that fulfilled these hideous propositions? One final question that must be asked: Is the policy of impoverishment and subjugation of Southerners an ongoing political policy of modern America?" How can you answer that question any other way but "Hell, Yes."

The Kennedys also observed that: "For Northerners who view themselves via standard establishment propaganda as grand defenders of the downtrodden and promoters of freedom, reading about how the war against the South was instituted in order to secure profits and power for the North's ruling elite, will not be gleefully embraced." While that is understandable, in view of what we were all taught in public indoctrination centers, if some of the Northern folks want to really grasp what the War was all about then they are going to have to start embracing what the Kennedys talk about here-gleefully or otherwise.

There is so much in this book that I can't do more than scratch the surface here, but in the words of the late Alan Stang, when he reviewed Donnie's and my book, Lincoln's Marxists, in regard to Punished With Poverty, "You need to read this book!" I will be passing more information out of Punished With Poverty along as the Lord enables.
