Editor’s NOTE: Today is June 29, 2025. In a matter of days, many of us will remember what the date July 4th once represented – Independence Day. There is little meaning of it anymore. In simple terms – America Must Be Cleansed and Purified Through the Fires of Civil War. Please join us on the Federal Observer for this very special column from Justin O. Smith. ~ Jeffrey Bennett, Editor

I hate like hell to always write what I myself see as such negative pieces, but as badly as I wanted to write something positive and hopeful to honor the 250th anniversary of America winning Her independence from Great Britain, there was very little for me to draw from over the past two or three decades even, to suggest our people were still aligned with those beautiful principles that made it all possible.

The American people have become so unbelievably weak, overall, from my perspective, that it blows one’s mind to think that these are descendants of people who took on superior forces and great odds to fight to be free. The vast majority can’t even put down the Cheeto bag or take their fat ass up and off the couch to take out the week’s garbage, much less make any real stand and fight for true freedom and liberty for all; the vast majority doesn’t even seem to really care if tyranny wins the day and a king takes hold, so long as they don’t have to truly be independent or do anything harder than push a few buttons on a cash register each day, or go to Walmart to use their EBT card to get a week’s worth of groceries.

Yes, I know there are still many great young people out there who have been taught at home by their parents, that there isn’t any substitute for self-reliance and real knowledge and skills. Many will suggest I am being far too critical, but I really don’t believe I am, not when we see so many way far left communists being put up today as candidates for many public offices across the nation and crowds of Millennials and GenZers are cheering them on as if it’s always been a totally normal thing to support communism in America. As this population grows and rises into an ascendant and ever more powerful position, it cannot bode anything other than one of the most unsettling, dangerous situations America will ever again face.

Win, lose or draw, no matter what MAGA and Trump do over the next three and a half years, this country is headed for civil war, because its enemies have grown too large and powerful, with backing and support from communists abroad too, that it will not be contained or properly restrained, in order that the country may function properly.

Our enemies-from-within have had a real taste of the power they craved under Obama and Biden, and they are not about to cease and desist or stand down now in regard to their well-known, oft stated agenda to fundamentally transform America and destroy our republic.

I’m actually not too much against ending the republic as it now stands, given that it is in such a miserable, bastardized state, just as long as something better is standing in the wings ready to take its place – a new way forward that places individual liberty above the needs and demands of government, where freedom actually means freedom and one’s home cannot be taken from them by anyone for any reason once it’s paid for in full – where states can’t pass illegal laws to erode and subvert our rights as set forth in the Bill of Rights – and where we truly are free to pursue life, liberty and happiness in every meaningful, righteous manner known to man.

Join me here on July 4th…

I was doing a bit of reflecting on my past and my overall life recently, and every time I fall into such a deep thought process, I always remember what an important role both my Grandmothers played in my life — my Grandfathers too, but it was the Grandmothers who gave me the love I ultimately needed.

I don’t know if there’s a place for such a piece at The Federal Observer or not, but This is a TRUE STORY and autobiographical in nature. Continue reading →

I do believe I will scream if I hear one more idiot tout the wonders of A.I. and the TransHuman, post-human world they intend to create.

Too many of the advocates of A.I. – now heavily invested and involved in all aspects of A.I. production and the U.S.’s military use of A.I. – are the very ones who have an idiotic ethereal, post-national, immoral and anti-American worldview, for the most part, and anything their hands are in must be held suspect. By and large, it is their already deployed A.I. technology that has essentially hollowed out the minds of millions of Americans and people around the globe, dissolving social bonds and encouraging pathological self-absorption.

A.I. is gaining more mastery over humanity with every advance it makes in serving our desires, as it degrades fundamental human capacities. The more humans use A.I. for anything, the less capable they themselves become in that realm of science, math, medicine, art, or literature and on down the line, as they are reduced to complete idiots. dependent on A.I. and search engines for everything. A.I. to adult humans is like a pacifier to a baby, ministering to humans’ inner emptiness and boredom – their lack of any real and meaningful direction – brought about by their own denial of God, and ultimately, if the world continues down this road full speed ahead it can only expect to see humans everywhere debilitated and enslaved by the very creation they insist will set them free.

BAM BAM Bam, Bam BAM BAM bam came the knock last night at 11:30. No one ever comes to my home after 11, so I promptly grabbed my .40 and headed toward the door, shouting “Who is it”?

One, two, three seconds – no answer. I switched on the porch light and swung the door open at the ready to see two Rutherford County Sheriff Deputies shining their flashlights in my face. Continue reading →

Too many Americans always assume that intelligent people have everyone’s best interests at heart and that any technologies and notions they advance and advocate in the name of “Progress” will solve all of the people’s difficulties and social ills without causing any pain, and yet over the past few decades the consequences of illiberal “liberalism” and the “progress” attained by it has reveal the exact opposite. If it their ideas bring great benefit to others, they really don’t care, just as they don’t care if they bring great harm, so long as their needs and agenda are ultimately met and fulfilled.
