'League of the South' calls for volunteers to defend 'Christian civilization'

By Dawn Ennis · Wednesday, February 8, 2017

The phrase, “The South Shall Rise Again!” isn’t just idle chatter for the League of the South, which is preparing for a second secession by the southern United States, and, in readiness for that day, the far-right wing conservative group has announced the formation of its Southern Defense Force.

And if that sounds militaristic, the Southern Poverty Law Center reports, that’s no accident. The league’s leader, Michael Hill, issued “Directive 02022017,” establishing what the SPLC called a “vigilante” quasi-paramilitary group:

“The League of the South is calling for all able-bodied, traditionalist Southern men to join our organization’s Southern Defense Force for the purpose of helping our State and local magistrates across Dixie combat this growing leftist menace to our historic Christian civilization. As private citizens in a private organization, we will stand ready to protect our own families and friends, our property, and our liberty from leftist chaos. Moreover, we will be ready to assist our local and State authorities in keeping the peace should they find it necessary to ‘deputize’ private citizens for that purpose.”


So what is this Southern Defense Force going to do? Hill isn’t saying. But his directive does reveal the SDF is going to “plan for contingencies – natural or man-made – that might affect the Southern people.”

According to the SPLC, the League of the South is an anti-federal government organization run by an elite group of “Anglo-Celtic” (meaning, descended from white English and Irish ancestry) men who seek to establish a “Christian theocratic state and politically dominate blacks and other minorities.”

The poor dears really need a safe space, don't they?

One thing's for certain, though: Nothing out of the Department of Justice under AG Sessions is going to cause Michael Hill or any of his little buddies any discomfort.
