"When time shall have softened passion and prejudice, when reason shall have stripped the mask from representation, then justice, holding evenly her scales, will require much of the past sensure and praise to change places." Jefferson Davis
Somewhere buried deep within the collective memory of the Southern People, lies a storybook land of Cavalier Knights and Ladies Fair. Where Chivilrous Christian Gentleman Warriors, born within them gallentry, honour, integrity, family loyalty and duty. The Southern people have throughout the ages, been a seperate and distinct people, even going deep into their Celtic past. The society of the Southland was one of respect toward Almighty God and the Holy Scripture. The most Christian, moral and crime free society to exist in 2000 years. A land where nobility, grace, charm and slendor rained supreme. The Old South left behind a legacy of a time and a civilisation, unmatched in human history. We dedicate The Confederate Manifesto in the memory of those who built and maintained such an honoured society; having fought, suffered and died in agony in defense of Southern Liberty and Independence. We invoke the favour and guidance of Almighty God, in accordance with the Holy Scripture, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen! Table of Contents The views expressed herein are political views and as such will be carried out through the normal political process and confirmed at the ballot box. It is not our purpose nor ntent, to overthrow or dissove the United States Government. Article I General Policy Article II Restoring State Sovereignty Article III The Purpose of Armed Forces Article IV Simultaneous Action Article V Confederate States Elections Article VI Lawful, Peaceful and Honourable Our purpose herein is to set forth those lawful, peaceful and honourable agendas which shall be pursued, pursuant to achieving our prime goal, as stated in documents such as The Confederate Creed "Restore the Confederate States Government and Constitution to power, and the Confederate States of America to their rightful place among the nations of the earth." In fulfillment of that objective, certain conditions of necessity, must be met. Article I General Policy 1. Restore the individual States to sovereignty, as self governing entities, over all domestic affairs within their own borders. Any government under dominance or occupantion by a hostile foreign power, to such an extent that state law and constitutional mandates are dictated by forces outside their jurisdiction, can not claim to be a sovereign. This must be corrected! 2. All international or globalist organisations, their treaties, policies, agreements and mandates, must cease to function and shall not exist, nor exercise authority or presence within the borders of these individual sovereign member States of the Confederacy. Only agents representing individual sovereign nations or nation states, should be recognized or given diplomatic status. 3. The use of, or the stationing of, foreign police, military forces or any such agent within the jurisdication of any individual sovereign member State of the Confederacy, shall not be authorized without their expressed, continued consent. 4. The exercise of uninvited, unwelcomed influences and authority over any institution within the borders of the individual sovereign States of the Confederacy, shall be terminated. This will be interpreted to mean, the crossing of the National or State borders of the Confederate States of America, for the purpose of using pressure, threats, intimidation or force, by any person or group, public or private, shall constitute a violation of their sovereignty, and shall not be tolerated. It is for the citizens of the individual States of this Confederacy, to determine what manor of government, and society shall be theirs. 5. The symbols, monuments, and flags of whatever sort, representing the individual sovereign States, or of the Confederate States, shall reign supreme above those of any and all other nations or global entities. While under occupation, it shall be considered improper for those symbols, monuments, and flags heretofore mentioned to be placed in an inferior position. Article II Restoring State Sovereignty Our individual State Governments and thereby all county/parish and municiple governments, have, because of our being subjected to occupation by a foreign power, been reduced to no more the subservient branches of the general government. Once the guardians of our liberty, State sovereignty and the excesses of the general government, they have now become their cohorts. There having yielded and surrendered their authority and power, requires that a correction must be made. Therefore, we shall resolve, that all individual State, county/parish and municiple governments of these member States and territories of the Confederate States of America must be, in due course of time, restructured. All documents, charters and State Constitutions shall be reviewed and where necessary, redrafted back to their original intent, as understood prior to reconstruction. 1. Review and compare all individual State Constitutions against those in effect prior to reconstruction. While making allowances for modern society and technology, the original intent shall be resored. 2. Draft, or redraft restored constitutions reinstating those original principles. Among these is that one house of the legislature shall represent the people by population, the other by fixed geographical area, such as county/parish. This policy gives due representation in government to both rural and urban populations, in a proper balance of domestic governance. This policy is not to dissimiliar as that used under constitutional government to construct the National Senate verses the National House of Representatives. 3. Individual State Constitutions shall prohibit any elected or appointed representative, employee or volunteer from surrendering any power whatsoever derived from the Sovereign Citizens of the the individual States, to any agent, government or authority outside the State. 4. Individual State Constitutions shall prohibit the general government from enumerating the population by race. In effect prohibiting them from addressing the race issue entirely, returning the issue to the individual Sovereign States, where it properly belongs. 5. All States shall maintain under their constitution and under law, certain State Citizenship and voter requirements. Among these shall be longevity, english literacy and a minimal comprehension of State and Confederate States National Constitutional Government. An individual shall be considered a Confederate States Citizen, only by act of being a citizen of one of the individual sovereign States or territories of the Confederacy. 6. Illegal immigrants shall not be granted citizenship, nor the benifits thereof; their children and dependents, shall not be entitled to citizenship of any individual State, nor of the Confederate States, by act of their having been born of illegal immigrant parents, or being in a status of dependency thereof. Legal immigrants are welcome, based upon a sponsoring State approval. 7. All education, in due course of time, within these member States and territories of the Confederacy, shall be privitized. Government on the National, State, County/Parish or Municiple level shall be prohibited from involvement in education whatsoever. This shall extend to include the hiring of teachers, and the construction of educational facilities. It is realized this will require a phase in/out period, but given governments tendancy of propagandizing education and cultural cleansing, no agency of government can be trusted with the future of our children. It is recommended that churches and synagogues reclaim this responsibility. That funding be made available through private scholarship programs to all children without regard to race, or social status. 8. The most precious of all freedoms, is "Freedom OF religion" which has under occupation been reinterpreted to means "Freedom FROM religion." This shall be corrected! The National, State, County/Parish or Municiple government and their agents, shall be prohibited from interpreting "Freedom of religion" in such a manor so as to prohibit or interfere with the teaching, preaching, or promulgating of the Almighty God and the Holy Scripture, public or private. This can not be otherwide in a free society! 9. Because of government having habitually used manditory school attendance as a weapon against parents, in the care of their children, they shall be stripped of this power. All laws, regulations and policies requiring manditory school attendance, shall be repealed. Other more proper means shall be used to encourage school attendance, and incentives for education, that are not dictatorial nor intrusive. 10.In order to break the chain of the liberal elite, the socialist and those believing in globalism; State, County/Parish and Municiple election laws shall require candidates to have lived in the State and or district to which he will serve, if elected. Such residential requirements shall extend to more then merely maintaining an address, but shall constitute a meaningful residence over an extended period of time, in addition to meeting State Citizenship requirements. 11.State campaign financing laws shall defend the citizens against outside influences that alter the outcome of elections. Therefore candidates shall be required to receive their campaign financing from entities within the State, senatorial or congressional district in which he shall hold office if elected. Citizens are entitled to be represented in the hall of government, political action committees, or corporations from far away places, having no more then a passing financial interest, are not. 12.The individual States shall not relinquish authority to govern within their respective borders and jurisdictions to the general government, nor to any other entity outside the state, nor shall they permit themselves to be subjected to their influence. Article III The Purpose of Armed Military Force The Military Armed Forces of any state or nation are for the defense and protection of a free people. Anyother use constitutes a violation of their inalienable rights. Such forces shall not be used against the people, nor shall the Military Armed Forces be involved in foreign wars without there having been a direct threat of imminent attack upon the Confederate States, and there shall be a Declaration of War. The Military Armed Forces of the Confederate States of America, and of the individual sovereign States, shall not be used as police, peace or treaty enforcers, nor shall they serve under the command of foreign, international, or globalist entities. In order that there be a balance and well established order for the military forces of the individual sovereign States and of the Confederate States, the following shall apply: 1. A three stage system shall be organisd and instituted for the Military Armed Forces of the Nation, State and County/Parish. 2. The County/Parish Militia shall be the nucleus of the military and shall consist of volunteer citizens which shall be aided by local civic organisations, private scholarships and businesses, with incentives to encourage their participation. Local cultural and entertainment functions should be organised around the militia, making it a normal and expected part of community activity. The militia should be the first to come to the aide of their County/Parish in an emergency. The County/Parish command of the militia shall never be transferred to the State or National level without their continued consent, and only under an extreme emergency. The determination as to when that emergency ends, must rest in the hands of the County/Parish Civil Authorities. 3. The State Military Armed Forces is for the defense and protection of the free citizens of the individual sovereign State. That being the case, the command of State Armed Forces shall not be transferred to the general government exept under the most extreme conditions, where there exists a threat of imminent attack and there shall be a Declaration of War. 4. The State Armed Forces may not be used by the general government for treaty enforcement, peace keepers, police duties, nor transferred out of the command of the individual State Governors, as their Commander in Chief, without the ongoing and continuing consent of the individual State concerned. The determination as to when that process begins and ends must rest with each seperate States, according to their constitution and laws. 5. The Military Armed Forces of the Confederate States of America is for the defense and protection of the nation at large. Such forces shall not be used against nor act within the borders and jurisdiction of the individual Sovereign States, without their ongoing and continued consent. 6. The Armed Forces of the Confederate States stationing military personnel, or establishing bases within the individual sovereign States shall be by contract with said States individually. Such contracts may be terminate, resulting in the removal of Confederate States Armed Forces when State authorities determine their interest is no longer served by their presence. 7. The education of all military and militia forces shall consist of but not be limited to Confederate and traditional Southern history, heritage, culture and traditions. The worship and respect toward the Almighty God as set forth in the Holy Scriptures shall be encouraged throughout the Military Armed Forces at all jurisdictions and Levels of Command. 8. The National Guard System of Armed Force, shall be rapidly phased out, due to their having served as the cohorts and instruments of enforcing the occupation of the member States and territories of the Confederacy. That system shall be replace by State Armed Forces under the command of their respective and individual Sovereign States. Article IV Simultaneous Action All actions taken under the plans layed down herein and for the purpose of liberating the Confederate States of America, from occupation, subjugation and cultural cleansing, must be carried out as a simultaneous action, for their mutual protection. Individual action will only lead to catatrophe. The process of using strength in numbers will assure a peaceful transition to a free and independent Southland, according to our own nation, and society. In gaining this strength in numbers many States outside the South may well desire a return to State sovereignty, as will as we ourselves. Therefore alliances and friendships shall be established with those seeking similiar goals. During the intrim some method must be established whereby we will be able to determine our own citizens from those of the United States and other nations. The below is set forth a general policy towards those ends. 1. Those people considered Confederate States Citizens, shall be those believing in State sovereignty, local autonomy and the principle that union with the United States of America is volutary, subject to termination when the individual States decide such union no longer suites their needs and interests. 2. Those people considerd Confederate States Citizens shall be those believing in the traditional history, heritage, and culture of the South, as related to the Old South and the Confederacy. 3. Those people considered Confederate States Citizens shall be those believing the Confederate States Constitution to be the only lawful and constitutional general governing document of these member States and territories of the Confederate States of America. 4. Those people considered Confederate States Citizens shall be those believing all flags, symbols, seals and monuments representing the Confederate States of America or any of its individual sovereign States or territories thereof, do reign supreme above those of any other nation or entity foreign to our Southland. 5. While we are under occupation and subjugation, it must be expected that many will hold duel citizenship. That of Confederate States Citizenship and of the United States or some other nation. The classification of "Citizen of the World" shall not be considered valid, nor shall it be recognized by any agency of government at any level, within the Confederate States of America. If an individual finds he or she is unable to choose one nation upon this earth, to which loyalty may be pledged. That person shall be considered ineligible for either citizenship or residency within the borders of the Confederate States of America. 6. The use of illegal immigration or migration as a means of displacing the rightful citizens and heirs of dominance in their own State or nation shall not be permitted by the Confederate States. This practice has also been used by our occupation forces through large scale resettlement into our Southland, making traditional Southerners as foreigners in their own land. This practice must be halted and reversed. Article V Confederate States Elections The process of restoring sovereignty to the individual States, can only be accomplished once the hand of an all powerful bureaucratic occupation is removed from the ballot box. When those running for public office within the borders of the Confederate States of America, are Confederate States Citizens, owning their loyalty to their Community, State and the Confederate States of America in that order. This may be accomplished in many way, among these is the forming of coalitions, alliances and joining with like minded individuals and groups, without compromise of principles or goals. Thereby denying both present major political parties a majority. This process will lead to what might be termed a "Checkmate" in which the Confederates are first returned to political power under "working control" later an absolute majority will then be established. The below are a few items that must be put in place, in order for our long term principles and goals to be accomplished. 1. There shall be established a Conference of Sovereign States by whatever terminology. The seats in the conference shall be divided based upon the electorial college of the Confederate States of America, reduced equitably to a lower number. 2. The duties of the Conference of Sovereign States shall be solely as in interim process leading to special elections to fill the now vacant, but valid seats in the Confederate States Government, according to the Confederate States Constitution. 3. The Conference of Sovereign States shall select or elect from among its seated delegates a President, Vice President and such other officers as it may be necessary, as well as appointing or hiring such individuals it may deem proper from time to time. 4. The Conference of Sovereign States shall agree upon a plan whereby the seats in the Confederate States House of Representatives, shall be divided among the several States, according to population. This shall be based upon the last such Congress elected and seated prior to the conquest and occupation of the Confederacy, determined to be from 106 to 109 seats. The next seated Confederate States Congress shall be considered the third congress; the first being 1862-63 and the second being 1864 to 1865 when it was dispersed. The third Confederate States Congress may choose to permanently fix the number of seats so represented among its numbers. 5. Those States having previously seceded and having repelled their articles of secession and rejoined the Union of States, did so as a result of the aggressive use of force. These acts where not carried out in accordance with with the Confederate States Constitution, nor under the principles of free choice. Therefore these act must be considered void, and the original acts of secession remain in force. Those States remain member States or territories of the Confederate States of America. 6. Those several States need only pass a declarative Statement for the purpose of reinstating those original dates of secession as a matter of public record. 7. Those States having never seceded, and wishing to do so, should do so at that time, thereby taking advantage of our strength in numbers. 8. In order to be effective, it is proposed that all States coordinate the effective dates of their actions. 9. No action by the Conference of Sovereign States, may be forced or coerced upon any individual Sovereign State, nor by one State against another. Article VI Lawful Peaceful and Honourable The process of establishing this Confederate Manifesto has been done so, out of necessity, that consideration might be given to the process that must be put in place, for an orderly transfer from occupation to independence. Certainly this plan is not perfect, but if followed, it will accomplish its intended goals. 1. Those of our occupation forces who may read this document must understand, we are a lawful, peaceful and honourable people. The Southern People having been the major factor in drafting United States Constitution and establishing that nation, certainly understand the principles of representative government and the inalienable rights of man. 2. Therefore it is essential that it be understood; no people or government hold the right to force their will upon another. That as a seperate and distinct people, it is our right given in creation, to determine for ourselves what manor of government, society and nation shall be ours. We did so during the period 1860-1861; that decision, having been freely made, remains effective. 3. When government fears the people, all is in balance, and liberty, dignity and the rights of man prevail. When the people fear government, tyranny and despotism rains supreme. 4. The principles and goals outlined herein are lawful, peaceful and honourable, and shall be carried out through the normal political process and confirmed, in due course of time, at the ballot box. It is not our purpose, nor intent to overthrow, or dissolve the United States Government. (L.G.S. March 1994) |
