Brimstone and Political Correctness at Texas League of the South

While recently touring the old British fort known as "Brimstone Hill", in one of the rooms was a display concerning the American Revolution. On reading it, it became clear that political correctness is not limited to the formal Empire, but it stretches into other nations. They claimed that the American Revolution was a "equality" and the struggle to achieve equality. The American Revolution was about liberty, and throwing off the yoke of English despotism. By changing what the American Revolution was about, you change peoples perception of history and nations. Since the site once belonged to a British colony, I thought that there mighty be some mention of the despotism of the Empire, but….no way.

I guess since the queen had visited the site and it was now a world heritage site, that they had to be careful not to offend the UN or other nations with the truth. The truth was it was a fortress built by an imperial power that wanted to hold onto its control and maintain world domination. Other nations challenged that power and domination through war. The greedy mercantile system may have brought Britain great profits, but many lives were lost in fighing and defending such massive fortresses.

How does this relate to the South? I’ll tell you. The Empire is spending billions of dollars building a massive embassy in Baghdad. There may be talks of pulling out, but the reality is they have a massive real estate investment and they are not going anywhere soon. This is similar to the British investment at Brimstone Hill.

The British empire sought to control trade in sugar and other commodities throughout the world. In other words the empire went to war for corporate and market interests. The Yankee empire also fights wars for global corporate monopolies. If there is a profit to be made, rest assured that American troops will be there. This is why we are in Iraq and Afghanistan, and why we were not in Nigeria, or to a large degree in Darfur. This is why the empire allows some nations to conduct genocides, while others are interfered with. All the talk about equality looks nice on museum displays, but it is not reality. The reality is that war is driven by attempts at monopolizing trade and maintaining control.

The lessons of the true Brimstone Hill have many modern applications, yet the nations of the world are too busy with political correctness to learn them. The sooner we get out of the empire the better for out children and our future.
