The Real Free State of Jones (1863) [Archive Favorite]
[[It's the heart of the summer, which means that our crew is taking some breaks here and there. In the meantime, we'll bring you some favorite episodes from the vaults -- and we'll be back with new episodes very soon!]]
It’s October 12th. This day in 1863, fighting is breaking out in Jones County, Mississippi, as a group of southern farmers starts to rebel against the Confederacy.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss why this group felt compelled to rebel, what their fight was really about - and what the 2016 movie starring Matthew McConoughey got right and wrong about the incident.

    I was there that day but left about 10 to 15 minutes before it went off. I was 13 and on my way back to a boarding school in New Hampshire. My fight had a stop at LaGuardia. I alway got off and I was flying TWA. I remember I had thought about missing my flight so I could get lost for a short time but I got on the plane. The pilot told us what had happened as soon as we made altitude. I remember a stewardess putting a glass of white wine in front of my and, Saying, “honey you might want this now”. I had two. At the van picking me up we’re are older students, no teachers and they made joke about the bomb and then noted I was drunk. I have no memory of any family ever calling me. I feel that no one said a word. I just went on with school. I search this at least once a year. I have likely heard all stories. A while back I found a declassified file from the Ford Library. One year I look this up and found a death bed confession from a mob hit man that said it was a mob hit and they decided they did not care about collateral damage. I have only seen this one time. I cannot yet find it. Who did it? We will probably never know for sure.

    Six things to note: 1-JFK was already thinking beyond the 1960 Election. He knew that if he won election, that he'd have to get Johnson's blessing, as Senate Majority Leader, on getting confirmations through The Senate. Making Johnson as Vice President would put his old friend, Mike Mansfield as Majority Leader. 2-LBJ figured that he could remake the Vice President, into a figure of real authority. He was able to make the Whip job, as a position of power. He made the job of Majority Leader as a position of power. 3-Johnson knew that it would be virtually impossible for a Southerner to be elected President. However, he thought that he might become President, through "the back door". LBJ knew how sick JFK was. Johnson also knew that 1 out of 5 Presidents die in office. 4. Johnson was also a man in a hurry. He knew that "Johnson men" usually dont live past sixty. He already had a major heart attack in 1955. Lady Bird saw the Vice Presidency as a form of "semi-retirement", from politics. 5. The LBJ-RFK feud goes back into the early 1950s. Johnson was the "Democratic Leader", who expects Senators and Staff to deter to him. Bobby Kennedy was just a staff member to the Mccarthy Committee and later to the McClellan Committee. To Johnson, both JFK and RFK work for him. LBJ gave Jack Kennedy his seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. But after The 1960 Election, JFK was the boss and LBJ reported to him. Kennedy needed Johnson to "remain happy", but didnt want it to appear that JFK had to turn to Johnson to get things done through the Congress. JFK served in Congress for 14 years. 6. LBJ created an anti-nepotism law because of RFK. Kennedy was 15 years younger than him and only got his jobs in government, because of family ties. It had mixed results. For example Members of Congress, cant put relatives to work on them as paid government employees. But, whats to prevent a member of Congress from having a family member on the staff of another Members staff or on a committee? Or have a Member of the Family, as an unpaid employee?

    Threat to democracy? 🤦‍♂️ A threat to democracy is the sabotage of the voters will. As in trying to take a candidate off of the ballots or Stretching or contorting the law uniquely in order to damage or remove a political opponent. It is a historical moment. It is the first time an administration abused power/ justice Syrian to attack and defeat their political opponent. It will be overturned. There is no chance it won’t. You shouldn’t support this sort of corruption.

    Time to focus on radical climate change policies to save the planet. If we can get food prices up 200% the infrastructure will fall apart. The population would decrease by 80% in just 2 years (Bill Gates data). The poorest and illegals will destroy the infrastructure doing the dirty work. WEF inspired totalitarian gov run by the brightest billionaire families will lead the way. This will be the new utopia. First we need to increase the number of illegal migrants, that's key for our success. Go Biden, Go Soros!! The new Utopia is here! Trump only put us 4 years behind schedule, time to get to work.

    I wish they had been successful. In 1968, he won by razor thin margins, and it was discovered that he violated the Logan Act, a felony at the time, when he communicated with the Viet Cong and told them not to engage in peace talks because when he became POTUS they'd get a better deal. The communications were intercepted by the CIA and incumbent LBJ confronted him on the phone about it. Nixon, of course, lied, and said he wouldn't do such a thing. This whole issue became overshadowed by Watergate. Nixon's foundation is trying to Whitewash this history. The theft of his first election is known as the Anna Chennault affair.

    I wouldn't leap to the defense of this guy, but why is it only white men who have to quit over things like this? Jessie Jackson just had to apologize for his "hiemeytown" remarks. Boston mayor Michelle Wu made an anti-white joke a couple of years ago, then, last year, threw a party on public property to which anyone was welcome as long as they weren't white; she only had to apologize for accidentally sending invitations to white people. Should this double standard go on forever?
