Above, photos from the creek to which I will to return. Now isn't exactly a convenient time to have had war declared on us and as soon as the business at hand is complete, my plan is to return to the creek. Catch a few shrimp, pick a few oysters, submit to humiliation from clever fish and then share all with loved and treasured friends. There is nothing as special as sharing a meal with those one loves, especially if they have a garden. This time of life and this moment in history we are called to stand up - so let's stand up with enthusiasm and enjoy. And when we've seen the fatal wilt of this dark blossoming, a return to the gentle days will be ours. For now, it is hunting season and it's time to hunt. Let's go out and play. 

a word from Woody Fender, founder of JPCvoice

​

 

This is the time our generation will earn democracy and freedom. This is the time we earn the treasure of freedom which we will then bequeath to future generations just as our ancestors earned with blood and unity the treasure which we have inherited from them.

​

JPCvoice is my tiny contribution to the cause. JPCvoice is being launched to look directly at the what we are facing. It is a place where patriots can exchange ideas. It is a place where an understanding of this very unusual war can be sought -a war like has never been fought before -an info war and a psychological war.

​

My great-great-grandmother's great-great-grandfather earned this freedom and democracy by killing Tories and Redcoats in the swamps of South Carolina when our nascent nation's resistance to a brutal foreign power seemed lost - the orange SOB we face now isn't the first threat to our nation and he won't be the last but he is ours - and JPCvoice is born to confront him and the dark trance he has harnessed.

​

By the summer of 1780 things were looking a little bad for the colonies' effort to escape foreign control. The bigshot hero of Saratoga, Horatio Gates was placed in command of the Southern Continental forces (our people - the patriots). Gen Gates went to meet Francis Marion -aw hell, here's Henry Lumkin's account from his book From Savannah to Yorktown - 'Col Otto Williams wrote in his journal that Col Francis Marion, a gentleman of South Carolina, had joined Gen Gates with twenty mounted men black and white, wearing small leather caps, all badly equipped and wretchedly attired. The American army found the ragged nucleus for later glory a source of vast amusement, and the pompous Gates, who never understood the importance of cavalry in country to which it was best suited, was delighted to detach Marion and his little command back to their own territory with orders to watch enemy movements and furnish intelligence.' Within months Gates command had been obliterated at Camden, SC and with it nearly all resistance to domination at foreign hands - Francis Marion and his small band of black and white fighters was just about the only armed resistance left - there were some other small groups too, and also in the hearts of many patriots there was a burning passion. But things looked bleak.

​

My ancestor Adam Ruth has a monument at our family cemetery in Hampton, SC. Records show he received a war pension; he would have been in his fifties while fighting for freedom in the swamp, fighting black and white, side by side. As has always been the case with irregular forces, his actions are not recorded but his service is recorded in history and also in the graves of those who would dominate our lands and steal our rights and freedoms.

​

The war that has been declared on our nation this time is both very different and yet there are similarities. The American Revolution was won with ideas as well as arms. This present war has been launched with ideas and hypnosis and this is the battleground on which we shall meet the enemy. They chose this and we shall meet them. We shall meet them in the battle space they choose. And like the glory and freedom preserved by those brave warfighters 235 years ago, patriots will again rise to the challenge of hostile foreign invaders and their treasonous American agents. We are not alone - powerful forces are already forming. And inside each of us, all persons, is a patriot eager to defend our nation and to preserve our freedoms - it's time to let this aspect of ourselves come out to play.

​

Political correctness? What is correct politically when dealing with someone who conspires with a hostile foreign power to seize control of our government? The history that our nation is about to make will be one guide. Let's go play.

​

JPCvoice is born.
