NC LS Summer Institute Announced: "Slave-Trading & Wage- Slavery" The NC LS will sponsor a LS Summer Institute on Saturday, August 22nd in conjunction with its Nathaniel Macon Insitute (NMI) programs. The Institute is tentatively scheduled at the Ramada Inn and Conference Center in Burlington from 10AM-5PM, and confirmed speakers to date are LS President Dr. Michael Hill; LSI Director Dr. David Aiken; and NMI Director Dr. Thomas Minsel. The program will explore the history of New England, the background and extent of its slave-trading operations, industrial wage slavery and poor factory working conditions, as well as its wartime enlistment bounty system that filled its State quota's. Details will appear on the Upcoming events page soon. LS Statement on Congress's Bailout Legislation: The League of the South, the only existing Southern nationalist organisation, condemns in the strongest possible way the "bailout" legislation passed by both Huoses of the US Congress. League President Dr. Michael Hill noted: "Giving three-quarters of a trillion dollars of taxpayer-guaranteed funds to the very people who caused this financial crisis in the first place is not only irresponsible, it is insane. It would be a sweet deal indeed to go to Vegas and be able to keep your winnings but throw your losses on to someone else's shoulders. Essentially, what has been done is to allow the bankers to keep their profits in good times and make the American taxpayer responsible for their losses in bad times. This legislation was pushed through the House and Senate by a campaign of fear mongering. There was even talk of a declaration of martial law if the House didnt pass the Senate version of the bailout bill." The League believes that the passage of the bailout legislation will serve only to cover the crisis temporarily and make the final day of financial and economic reckoning even worse. Moreover, the League sees this as a major step toward socialism in the American economy. Hill stated that he hoped "the Southern people would wake up and see that both major political parties are bought and paid for by the banking and business elites and that the American empire is not worthy of their consent and support. Instead of protecting their lives, liberty and property, the regime is robbing them blind." Since its inception in 1994, the League has sought to advance the cultural, social, economic and political well-being and independence of the Southern people by all honourable means. It believes this stand is necessary now more than ever. Make Dixienet's "Rebellion" Blog Your Daily Routine!
