It’s another bright Summer day in WNC. I have been blessed by the Lord in this life and I hopefully am walking in His path for me. The community center is starting to fulfill its function as a meeting place for the community and for what may be the last PATCON on a larger scale across the country. As CA put it yesterday, it may be our last chance to see some of our friends.
There are many negatives for our nation at this point and it is easy to overlook our positive aspects and blessings. I do want to cover a comment on Appalachian Renegade from an acquaintance of over 16 years. Here is a snippet:
David – You once lamented that you were branded as a white separatist after relocation to Murphy. Given the following excerpts from this conclusion …
For background, I was guided to move to Murphy and had little knowledge of it or its people. After moving here, I worked and went home and had little interaction with the people here. I did associate with a small “group” of people who seemed of like mind. However, the conflict between the leader and his tactical officer in that group became acrimonious to say the least.
This is how I came to the understanding that groups are not the solution. Here is a real example:
A meeting was called for the group’s leadership (five men) at the doctor’s house. When I arrived, the tactical officer was literally screaming at the leader over a policy of how to deal with people we did not know entering our area of operation after the collapse. The tactical officer was adamant that anyone would be shot and killed on site if they were not known. The example was a couple and their children. Incredibly, the doctor eventually backed down and agreed to that policy.
I dropped out of that group and the tactical officer spread the rumor that I was a racist. This was not the first time I was labelled as such because that was the last Rule for Radicals: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it”. There was no basis for the label as I interacted with less than ten people in this area. The community center was labelled a White Supremacist compound while it was being built as part of that attack. I did not lament it: it was another addition to his list which included killing me. If you come to the community center for the first time, you would see there is nothing to support that statement. As for being a white separatist, I did not know the demographics of this area prior to moving.
I want to relay another story concerning Wes. I held the 2018 PATCON and an author was one of the speakers. When Wes had posted on NCRenegade for around a year, this author wrote and told me that either Wes had to be censored or he would stop supporting the site. I do not like being told want to do or to censor other people’s writing. As I have written before, this site’s purpose is to present information and let people decide on the value of the information and build intelligence for future actions.
So I ask the readers for their opinions on:
- Should I censor people for writing thought exercises?
- Should I censor people for posting information for which I do not agree?
- Should I stop censoring people for call black Americans niggers? I used a “b” for black to follow Hans’ example for white Americans.
I want to remind people also of these points:
- I posted the quote concerning “Socialism is to Communism as Suicide is to Murder” last week. Does that sound like an endorsement of either?
- I posted that the idea that black Americans do not have a soul was something that I have not considered before and is not supported in the Bible. Deciding on which human being is not one of God’s children is an evil that shows how immoral our world has become.
- I posted a quote from Candance Owens and was attacked for supporting a black woman. If you were offended by some of the comments on that post, you should have seen the ones I deleted.
I taught my children to always tell the truth and work hard. To be truthful, I had no prior information concerning Roth’s post but I did believe that he was making a point and I respect his wisdom. I glanced over his posts without much thought because of time constraints and I was concentrating on my PATCON Governance roundtable. The assertations that Hans made in his comment were unfounded and false. I knew as much as the readers did concerning this thread. But I actually knew even less as I did not thoroughly read them.
Hans was supposed to moderate the roundtable on good and evil. He asked me to forward his notes to Roth for his opinion. I asked Roth if I could give Hans his email directly and he agreed. I do not know what or if anything transpired between them to have Hans drop out without any communication with me.
So back to why this is a good day. I have been shown the true character of a man whom I had considered a friend. I have been shown that a man who goes to church has no problem bearing false witness.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
I am reminded that I have been given a purpose and have used most of my savings to build a community center and help people in the future. I also pray that people fear the Lord as that is the beginning of wisdom. I pray that they discern the truth, prepare for the future and show mercy on their neighbors.
As for Roth’s thought exercise, he will be at the PATCON to discuss his reasons for trying to educate people. I will be moderating the Governance roundtable and I will give you a starting point for this exercise: I will not be espousing or promoting any government. I will be asking people to consider how they would set up a governing structure for their area of operations if the federal government collapses.
