Category Archives: Out of The Past ~ The Archive Edition

As time allows, we continue to review many previously posted columns and articles from the first generation of several of the family of Kettle Moraine Publications, drawing from in excess of 90,000 published articles – yet many could have been written today. Others were a forewarning of (as H.G. Wells once wrote) “Things to Come.” So today we return to the days of yesteryear, or is it, Back to the Future? C’mon Marty – tell me which it is – or will we even have a future?

Truth IS Stranger Than Fiction: The Racist Roots of Gun Control

He’s been with us from the beginning!

~ Foreword ~
March 23, 2024 ~ Every so often, we are inclined to go back to the ‘roots’ of the Federal Observer, and with today’s posting, and due to the overwhelming controversy over the next generation of gun-grab attempts, the time has come to repost this lengthy column once again. It has now been just over ten years since we brought the following back to the Front Page, yet given what is going on in Virginia and other states today – it’s time for review is past due.

Once again, due to the age of this column (November 2002) some or all of the embedded links may no longer be active. Due your own due-diligence.

To straighten out the un-enlighted reader – Mr. Whitley is not the author of “The Racist Roots of Gun Control”. He is however the author of the introduction and the closing comments. Our thanks to Mr. Clayton E. Cramer – the author of the main body of this text. We suggest that the NAACP (an organization who seems to have no intention of allowing their ‘people’ to be advanced for anything) – read and study – and then know their own history. (NOTE: Some of the embedded links within this publication may no longer be active.)

It would seem, the NAACP is willing to sellout the black race by withholding the truth in exchange for a few bucks in a civil case – and may even be willing to go so far as to threaten others of their own race if they try to reveal historical facts dealing with racism if it interferes with their cash-flow. The path the NAACP has taken is…well, as they say, “follow the money” (and the truth be damned).

Bennett: No More Time for This Bull-S#*t!

You had better find the time – cause it’s getting short!

~ Foreword ~

Bennett: Jeffrey Bennett

On the first day, which this article was posted (Oct. 16, 2002), for the first time – The Federal Observer shut down every column unrelated to protecting YOUR 2nd Amendment rights as a statement of anger and frustration. I’m still angry and I’m still frustrated. Although the visitation to this article has been greater than any we have ever posted, I am concerned that few truly understand the ramifications of that, which lays before us.

I’ve had just about enough of the garbage-that-passes-for-news eminating from the anti-gun networks. Do you think that I jest? For over one week – FOX News Channel has reported nothing but the sniper shootings in D.C. (That’s District of Criminals’ for those of you who don’t understand initials.) We’ve gone from the unknown sniper to a person of possible ‘olive complextion‘. Continue reading

Sex, Drugs, Guns and Rock and Roll

May 13, 2002 – A leftover saying from the ‘60’s – got your attention, didn’t I?

The Federal Observer Editor wastes 28+ years of his life on the air.

Unfortunately, they’re not the only things left-over from the decade of peace & love. During that decade we saw the birth of ”free love”, forgetting that with everything – there is a price to pay. The nation has become steeped in moral decay – as the epidemic of AIDS has spread world-wide. Some say that it was a virus developed in the U.S., others say that it was caused by monkeys and still others who believe that it was caused by the rampant spread of deviant sexual behavior. Does it really matter at this point what the cause?

As a nation, We the People of the United States of America never seem to heed the lessons of history. Sodom and Gomorra set the stage so long ago – and yet today – anything seems to go in America – and we, as a society have turned to stone. Our schools have become proving grounds for alternative sex-education classes. Our children are being taught to accept anything, which is considered outside the norm. Homosexuality is now openly being taught in the government run ‘fool’ system – sanctioned and promoted by administrations who got their education during that same tumultuous decade – all the while parents sit at home and do nothing. I guess that their parents had taken too many drugs, thereby transferring the dead brain-cells to their children. Continue reading

The Doors of Perception: Why Americans Will Believe ALMOST Anything

The following was published on the original Federal Observer website in the Fall of 2001. Is it NOT interesting how little has changed??? Thank you David Icke. ~ Editor

Aldous Huxley’s inspired 1956 essay detailed the vivid, mind-expanding, multisensory insights of his mescaline adventures. By altering his brain chemistry with natural psychotropics, Huxley tapped into a rich and fluid world of shimmering, indescribable beauty and power. With his neurosensory input thus triggered, Huxley was able to enter that parallel universe described by every mystic and space captain in recorded history.

Whether by hallucination or epiphany, Huxley sought to remove all controls, all filters, all cultural conditioning from his perceptions and to confront Nature or the World or Reality first-hand – in its unpasteurized, unedited, unretouched, infinite rawness.

Those bonds are much harder to break today, half a century later. We are the most conditioned, programmed beings the world has ever known. Not only are our thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded; our very awareness of the whole design seems like it is being subtly and inexorably erased. The doors of our perception are carefully and precisely regulated. Who cares, right? Continue reading

This is the Week That the S#*t Hits the Fan!

July, 8, 2002: Phoenix, AZ – The 226th anniversary of the birth of our Republic has passed with minimal incident (unless you want to count some rag-head who was p.o.’d in Los Angeles for as yet unknown reasons – although livin’ in LA is enough to piss anyone off). This ‘holiday’ has become a shadow of its former self – only beer, bar-b-que, a few scattered parades and media networks broadcasting from Boston and DC, with little understanding of the meaning of independence – other than the freedom to make a buck. Do we put aside this 4th of July nonsense for another year only to be reawakened with a false sense of patriotic pride when another four-day weekend comes upon us? Or do we remember and LIVE the words of the Founding Fathers each day? For if we don’t take heed and become more aware of the devestation being plied upon this land by those who are supposed to be our representative voices across the nation – then the next Independence Day may never arrive – unless we Wake the F*%# up!

The Doors of Perception: Why Americans Will Believe Almost Anything

Aldous Huxley’s inspired 1956 essay detailed the vivid, mind-expanding, multisensory insights of his mescaline adventures.

With his neurosensory input thus triggered, Huxley was able to enter that parallel universe described by every mystic and space captain in recorded history.

Editor of Federal Observer is pissed off….

…and you should be too if you know what’s good for you!

       Jeffrey Bennett, Publisher

Dateline October 16, 2001; 1:49 (EDT)‘I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!’ That’s it! I’m finished – finished with all of the stupidity and apathy in this nation! Alright, we’ve been kicked – but we’re not down! But dammit, when is America and her sheople going to wake up to that fact? If this is war – then let’s start acting like it!

No, I don’t mean by running back to the movies and the ball games – although all of us need a break – I mean by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps (if you young punks even know what I’m talking about) and getting about the business of BEING Americans! Stop the whining and the sniveling – and stop being so damned self centered. The media has done this to you and you have layed down in the ‘Strawberry Fields’ for what seems like forever – that you can’t even get up because TV and the talking heads have ruled your lives for so long – that you have become brain-dead. Pull the life support for Heaven’s sake. Cut the umbilical cord to the damned government and stand up on your own two feet. Continue reading

Address to the Congress of the united States of America

…on The Aftermath of Terrorism

Jeffrey Bennett

I am a constitutional citizen of this sovereign nation, a voter, and a taxpayer. I served honorably in the armed forces of this nation for 20 years through war in Asia, police actions in Grenada, Panama, and the action in Kuwait/Iraq. I retired an enlisted man 10 years ago and have worked in the private sector, running my own business. I generate a good amount of money for the various governments I have empowered through my continued support, those being Federal, State & Local. I am neither an idiot nor a coward. I believe in our blessed savior, Jesus Christ. I have raised four children during all of this. My point is that I have comported my life as was expected of me by the society we have forged together. There are many who have not, most notably, your selves. Continue reading

November 22, 1963: The Death of JFK ~ One Final Chapter…

Director Rob Reiner claims he’s unearthed PROOF that JFK was killed by FOUR shooters not one – and says the reason the first shot missed president’s motorcade is KEY to the theory

Actor and film director Rob Reiner has claimed there were four shooters involved in the murder of President John F. Kennedy and insists the reason the first bullet missed is key to his theory.

Reiner claims there were more people involved in the fatal shooting of Kennedy who he names in his 10-episode podcast titled ‘Who Killed JFK?‘ recorded with journalist Soledad O’Brien.

Reiner developed a fascination with the murder of Kennedy ever since he heard the news in high school, aged 16. Continue reading

The Kennedy Assassination: The Men Who Killed Kennedy

Lyndon Johnson Killed JFK

This documentary shows compelling evidence that Lyndon Johnson set up the Kennedy assassination to avoid jail and become President. J Edgar Hoover and some high level Texas politicians are also implicated. Could this have been a successful coup? Take 46 minutes and decide for yourself. George Bush Sr. was in the CIA and also knew Malcolm Wallace. Bush was outside the book depository during the assassination.

JFK Commission Stifled Jackie’s “Key” Testimony

JFK’s Parkland Doctors Come Forward: Oswald Didn’t Act Alone

In an exclusive clip from Paramount+ doc JFK: What the Doctors Saw, the doctors who treated JFK at Parkland Hospital say one of the bullets was an entrance wound

Since this year marks the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, a number of docu-specials are rolling out to revisit (and, in some cases, reexamine) that tragic day in Dallas, Texas. None of them seem more compelling than JFK: What the Doctors Saw, a documentary featuring previously unreleased footage — and the testimony of seven doctors who were there in the emergency room of Parkland Hospital trying to save the then-president’s life after he was shot as his motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22, 1963.

Railroad Supervisor Sam Holland – Witness to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy

Samuel “Skinny” M. Holland worked for the Union Terminal Railroad as a Signal supervisor for railroad track and track signals. Mr. Holland watched the motorcade of President John F. Kennedy from the overpass in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. He said when Kennedy was shot he saw a puff of gunsmoke under the branches of a tree on the grassy knoll. ”There was definitively a shot fired from behind that picket fence, and I can’t see how they could doubt that a 4th shot was fired I saw the smoke and heard the report from behind that fence..I was on the spot“….

Secret Service Agent Who Was With JFK on Day of His Assassination Breaks Silence With Claim That Blows Up the ‘Magic Bullet’ Theory and Suggests There WAS More Than One Shooter

A former Secret Service agent who was present at President John F. Kennedy’s assassination has come forward with a new claim that would debunk the ‘magic bullet’ theory and raises questions about whether there was a second shooter.

Paul Landis, 88, broke his silence on Saturday, nearly 60 years after Kennedy was shot dead in a motorcade passing through Dallas, to share his bombshell recollection with the New York Times.

Landis, who in 1963 was a young Secret Service agent assigned to protect First Lady Jaqueline Kennedy, said that in the chaos following the shooting, he picked up a nearly pristine bullet sitting on the top of the back seat of the open limousine. Continue reading

Three Marbles ~ It’s What You Scatter

During the waning years of the Depression in a small southeastern Idaho community, I used to stop by Mr. Miller’s roadside stand for farm-fresh produce, as the season made it available. Food and money were still extremely scarce, and barter was used extensively.

On one particular day, as Mr. Miller was bagging some early potatoes for me, I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged, but clean, hungrily appraising a basket of freshly picked green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering the peas, I couldn’t help overhearing the conversation between Mr. Miller and the ragged boy next to me. Continue reading

Whose Land Is It? Palestine Or Israel?

A 1982 Documentary Looks At This Issue With Old Footage

There is so much more that could be shown – but this is one very interesting forty-one year old documentary.

If you should choose to watch this on You Tube – I strongly recommend that you spend some time reading the massive array of comments left by others who have viewed it.

My Right to be Uncommon!

Dedicated to ALL of those who have contributed to the efforts of this site for these past many years. ~ Ed.

It is my right to be uncommon… if I can; I seek opportunity…not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stole calm of utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. Continue reading

Knifeman: Worldwide Anarchy

February 5, 2012 – What we are seeing in the world today is those that would like to rule the world creating worldwide anarchy. Just stop to think about it. Going back to what they called the “Arab Spring” ad you will see what I mean. What are these uprisings other than anarchy? They do not like the ruler at the time so they take to the streets as a mob. the United States and other countries ask the leader to step down and foment the mobs in those countries. Where there have been elections the Muslim Brotherhood has taken over. Where the military has taken over in certain countries to make the transition, the anarchists are not satisfied that they are moving fast enough. The mobs take to the streets again, supported by the U.S. and others that want a one world government. They feel that if enough of these countries fall into anarchy, they can step in and bring the government into the one world government. Continue reading

The Seese Chronicles: Low Water Mark in History

…redefining all relationships!

The ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah had one bad reputation for their personal relationships, but at least they weren’t confused. The Romans, particularly the emperors and their elites (the rich and powerful) kept stables of sex slaves and thought nothing about indulging their most perverse lusts. But they weren’t confused. They knew the difference between lasciviousness and marriage. The fact they didn’t care was a matter of immorality but it didn’t interfere with their consciousness that marriage was man/woman, all else was just self gratification in various forms.

Our Modern Era Village of the DAMNED!

In the words of Sam Cooke, ‘a change is gonna come!

July 12, 2021 ~ Something is terribly wrong with the Education ‘Village‘ of America – the complete breakdown of America’s government controlled education system through indoctrination and Socialism. Our children have become truly ‘damned‘ and will have little chance to truly succeed in this nation – UNLESS – the system can be overturned.

This commentary was so-named because of then First Lady, Hillary Clinton’s comment, “It takes a village to raise a child.” In addition to my feelings that our children are truly ‘damned‘ as long as this system is allowed to continue.

The ‘Village‘ is the place that I would not wish to be in today. I was privileged to participate in one of the last non-socialist school systems. Hell – I also know that the conversion had already begun, but I had great teachers. At 73 years of age – I can still picture and name over 90% of those whose care I was placed into. Continue reading

Sixty years on from ‘I Have A Dream‘…

… the unifying vision of Martin Luther King has been betrayed by BLM and their fellow Leftist Zealots

During one of the most famous and admired orations of all time, Dr Martin Luther King spoke of ‘the fierce urgency of now‘ that compelled him to call for social justice.

Re-reading his whole ‘I Have a Dream‘ speech, delivered at Washington DC’s Lincoln Memorial 60 years ago this month, it still shimmers with beauty and brilliance.

The ‘urgency’ King invoked in his plea to right the racial wrongs of America’s past did, indeed, lead to some rapid results.

The dream he laid out, that his ‘four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character‘ was followed quickly by the great legislative accomplishments of the civil rights movement.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination on the basis of race, colour, religion, sex or national origin. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed the discriminatory practices adopted by many southern states after the Civil War.

But it wasn’t just desegregation and voting rights that King demanded on August 28, 1963. Continue reading

Granny: The TIES that BIND America

The following is a timely reach-back to our archives of November 7, 2009 as was originally published on the Federal Observer. We do not know which category it was published in at that time – but it really does not matter. “Granny” (Jackie Juntti) has been a daily reader and frequent contributor to the family of Kettle Moraine Publications almost since our inception two decades ago, in addition to becoming a very close friend and confidant.

Over the past several years, Granny has been dealing with on and off health issues which have finally caught up with her. Some weeks go I was informed that she was being forced to “retire” from her life on-line, as the hours daily being spent in a chair working on computer, studying, reading and writing has finally taken it’s toll on her physical condition. As she closed her email she reminded all of us exactly WHY we are here – and what lies ahead when our job is finished…

Ain’t gonna need this house no longer
Ain’t gonna need this house no more
Ain’t got time to fix the shingles
Ain’t got time to fix the floor
Ain’t got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window pane
Ain’t gonna need this house no longer
I’m getting ready to meet the saints

And so we once again share the words of this Godly woman – with her warnings for our future if we do not heed the warnings, ACT now – and Prepare for the final Journey.

Miles to go Before I Sleep

The following is a column that I wrote over twenty years ago, and although much has changed in those years – much has remained the same. There are times that I find it worthwhile to bring this column back to the front once more.  Can ya’ dig it? ~ Editor

January 24, 2003 ~ I guess that I’ve felt this coming on for several months, continual headaches, accelerated heart rate after eating, multiple naps throughout the day, anger, frustration… you know the routine.

Did I have cancer, heart disease or just oldfartitus disease? I didn’t know, yet as with most men of my age bracket, I guess that I didn’t really want to know. By last Thursday night, I was so ill that I couldn’t sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time. My whole body was sore with muscular contractions, aching stomach and lower back pain – diarrhea was now becoming an hourly occurrence. Continue reading

Dwyer: On the 100TH Anniversary of Bolshevik Revolution in Russia

Is it Going to Repeat Itself in the U.S.?

The following was written by Mark Andrew Dwyer and published on the Federal Observer on September 10, 2017. ~ Editor

Introduction
Many political dysfunctionalities, anomalies, and pathologies that have been proliferating across the West for a few decades now are the results of a metastasis of the Soviet Bolshevism that had been carried on with mass emigration of the so-called “intelligentsia” from Russia, former Soviet Union, and its satellites. Some of the emigrants went straight to the U.S. while others settled and procreated elsewhere, with many of their progeny finding their way, legally or otherwise, to America. A brief analysis of the political trends and structure of the Soviet Union reveals certain disturbingly close similarities between them and some of their counterparts in the U.S. and the European Union. These similarities and the presence of the striving “intelligentsia” of the Russian-Soviet extraction in the U.S. move our country closer to a point where the necessary conditions for the neo-Bolshevik revolution are met. The above described process seem to follow directions how to impose socialism that were given to the Soviets by the Frankfurt School’s Institute for Social Research in the 1920s. Continue reading

Bennett: Rebuttal From a Pissed Off American

The following was written and published by me on January 1, 2002 in the Original Federal Observer, which was just over five months old. ~ Editor

For many of us broadcasting on the alternative media – we have remained hard hitting on issues, which we believe are highly pertinent in our day and time. These issues include education, property rights, tyranny by government, government out of the control of the people, moral decay and rot, tax and sovereignty issues, a deeper drift into Socialism, the breakup of the family, protection of children and families, treason in high places of our government, cover-ups and conspiracies within the government itself, in addition to a sundry of other choice subjects.

Predictably, many of us have been accused of being anti-government. In response to those accusations, I must say: To the best of our ability, we are reporting the truth. Are the people making these claims against us listening to us, and to our programs on a regular basis? Do they take a serious look at what we are reporting and is the information confirmable from other sources? Continue reading
