Fall 2004 Chairman’s Message

South Carolinians are a conquered people who are continually attacked by the federal government and their elitist groups. We are hated not so much for what we do as for who we are and what we believe. Discriminatory laws apply only to the South (Voting Rights Act, court run school systems, etc.) and our wages for the same work are more than twenty percent lower than all others in the United States. We are not allowed to advance in public and private employment because we are denied civil rights that are liberally conferred on others. We are in a cultural war for the identity and survival of the Southern people and we are losing. Our enemies in the federal government, NAACP, Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), Chambers of Commerce, national and international businesses, newspapers, TV’s and others are attacking us every day. I don’t know about you, but I am not going to take it any more. I am not going to sit idle and be treated as a second-class citizen in my own land.

As long as I am your chairman, I resolve to fight through the political process for a government for all the people of South Carolina. We will fight by going after our enemies in every possible way. They will no longer have a free ride, as we will attack those that attack us and do everything possible to let our citizens know who our enemies are and what they are doing. It will become known to all, as former Governor David Beasley is now aware, that in this cultural war for our very survival, the SCLoS does not forget nor forgive.

The overriding goal of the SCLoS is to become free of the dominating Yankee Empire so we can have a government based on God’s Laws and a Biblical world view. We seek state sovereignty as guaranteed by the 10^th Amendment to the United States Constitution or by secession, if all else fail. Every action we take and every program we implement is designed to reach that goal. We are leading a non-violent revolution in cultural regeneration through the political process. If you are not involved, you are cannot make a difference.

To be successful, we must build a solid base of resistance at the county and community level and we must have a professional staff. As we grow in size and influence we will become a lightning rod for all other like-minded organizations and groups. The SCLoS will be a safe place of refuge for the disenfranchised of this generation. We will continue organizing active chapters on the county level until every community in our country of South Carolina is represented.

We will generate an independent source of income through Southern Patriot Shops. The shop in Cayce became a reality when purchased by a 1^st South Carolina Ranger who gave us a lease purchase agreement on 4 November 2004. It will be opened for business soon after Thanksgiving and we will have a presence in our capital city that cannot be denied. We will promote the sale of Southern merchandise, advance Southern culture, and engage in plain old political action through Sovereignty Caucus Groups. In addition, we will develop forgotten historical sites such as Secession Hill in Abbeville, SC. Southern Cultural Centres will be called upon to promote authors, musicians, artists, and artisans

. We will hold fire-eater gatherings and entertain, educate and influence the general public.

These are exciting times and the SCLoS is taking the brunt of attacks from two of the larger newspapers in South Carolina (The Greenville News and The State). These newspapers call the SCLoS a racist hate group by quoting Morris Dees’s SPLC, even though they know for a fact it is a lie. Leaders of the SCLoS previously met with the editors of both papers and a packet of information on the SPLC was provided to them and they were told, when they quote a source known to be false, they are lying and in a court of law would receive punishment for perjury. They know what they are doing, but truth is not important to them.

The papers have sacrificed goodwill as talk radio programs, letters to the editor and weekly newspapers have come to our defense. As a result of “bad publicity” we have received many phone calls and emails giving us encouragement. New members have been added to our rolls and the Southern Patriot Shop in Abbeville has filled a number of large volume sales due to some of the newspaper articles.

The NAACP, through their spokesman state Senator Darrell Jackson, called the SCLoS the “new clan” on the Columbia based Danny Thomas Show. I was participating in the NAACP protest in Augusta, GA, when a reporter from the show asked for a live interview to respond to these charges. I first described the goals of the SCLoS and continued by saying Darrell Jackson should know what the clan is since the NAACP is the closest thing to it in 100 years. Then I referred to a prepared press release and continued by saying. “They engage in extortion of businesses and continue an illegal secondary boycott of the entire state of South Carolina. They are a despicable group of malcontents that contribute nothing to society while crying, “Pity me” as they tear down everything around them. They frighten weak-kneed politicians, such as scalawag Mayor Bob Young of Augusta into doing their dirty work while they sit back in a fine hotel room and gloat. That was the end of the interview, as Andy Thomas needed to have a station break and did not find the time to continue the discussion with me. I understand another person on the program commented on the LoS by saying our organization was not racist and was comprised of a large number of college graduates and PhDs.

Robert Hayes, SCLoS State Director, was on talk radio, quoted in newspapers and appeared on television while participating in the NAACP protest in Augusta, GA. I am aware of four additional SCLoS members on television (one being my 14- year-old grandson, Jordan Brown) and at least one other was quoted in a newspaper article. Our enemies now know they will not be allowed to attack the SCLoS, Southern Culture and Southern people with immunity. We will call on our Red Shirts at all appropriate times and expose our enemies in the public forum.

It seems as though our cause is favored by events that are happening without our knowledge or input. The CSA Project and the Christian Exodus fall into this category. Also talk radio and weekly newspapers and individuals are coming to our aid in places and circumstances beyond our control or comprehension. With God’s grace we will put into service the Christian nation of South Carolina.
