Those who would tear down monuments, damn capitalism, and wage war on white privilege are brainwashed idiots, blind to the obvious. Every bite of food you eat is a debt you owe to private property, common law, and industrial civilization that you impede at your peril.
White lives mattered, too many to recite. You'd need an encyclopedia. Without them, no electricity, no medicine, computers, automobiles or aircraft. No iron and steel, no oil wells, dish soap, satellites, or filtration plants. White people are synonymous with civilization.
Our national monuments are few and cherished.
Robert E. Lee disliked slavery and was opposed to secession. Lincoln offered him command of the Union Army and Colonel Lee declined, respectfully, would not take up arms against Virginia, hallowed land of Jefferson, Washington, Patrick Henry, and James Madison, without whom there would have been no United States, no Constitution or Bill of Rights. It's difficult to exaggerate Jefferson's contribution, author of the Declaration, diplomat who brought France into the Revolutionary War, visionary president who doubled the size of the United States, and advocate for the separation of church and state, at a time when the Anglican Church was tax supported and Washington resisted disestablishment. Jefferson prevailed and freedom of religion allowed Catholics, Noncomformists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, and Enlightenment deists to make common cause as a new nation, "E Pluribus Unum."
People misunderstand why the Civil War was fought. It had little to do with slavery. It was fought over protectionist trade tariffs that enriched the North and penalized the South. The South had no factories to manufacture rifles, bullets, or blankets. One third of Confederate soldiers who fought in Gettysburg were barefoot. Slavery was not unique to the South.
Franklin had slaves, household help who were treated with dignity, like employees. Slaves labored in Massachusetts Bay Colony during the harsh, uncertain years of its settlement. No one in America wanted a slave to starve or suffer. They were housed and fed far better by Christians than by West African tribal warlords who enslaved them. Whites did not capture slaves. Bristol merchants traded gold for them, saving women and children from torture and grisly death. Slavery in white America was infinitely better than African slavery. Let's talk about a hero who owned 500 slaves and played a pivotal role in their future liberation.
Andrew Jackson was one of the most striking figures in American history. Without Jackson, there would have been no "one man one vote" democracy and no Union for Lincoln to rally and emancipate. Jackson's victory in New Orleans saved us in 1814. He vetoed construction of the Cumberland Road, declaring that Congress had no lawful power of pork barrel spending to enrich themselves, to the detriment of other Americans. When he was overruled by the U.S. Supreme Court concerning removal of Indians, President Jackson scoffed, "How many divisions does the Chief Justice have? He made an order, let him try to enforce it."
Native American Indians were tribes led by kings, many of which battled tribe versus tribe before Pilgrims landed at Plymouth and Old Boston Harbor. In Massachusetts and Georgia, Indian property rights were acknowledged, provided that they did not attack white settlers. Northern tribes became pawns of English and French rivalry. Plains war parties slaughtered white women and children or took them as slaves. Nothing turned out well in the Old West, made infinitely worse by land grants for transcontinental railroads and mines. If anyone is owed reparations, it's the Sioux, Crow, Lakota, Cheyenne, and Comanche.
Let's skip ahead and consider a cavalry charge in Cuba. Osage oil millionaires in Oklahoma, Cherokee steelworkers, Navajo code heroes of World War II, tax exempt casinos, fireworks superstores, and smoke shops were distant future horizons when a company of volunteers led by a future president charged uphill against Spanish fortifications.
Teddy Roosevelt never expected to be President, but his legacy was profound. He broke up powerful Wall Street trusts and created the first national park, in Yellowstone, a confident, cheerful champion of rugged individualism, nature conservancy, and physical fitness, the only "modern" white American president honored on Mount Rushmore.
I despise politically greasy government monuments, but they're there for a reason, like the idolatry of Crazy Horse a few miles from Mount Rushmore and a giant black fist in Detroit. Taskmasters and laborers of antiquity built pyramids, castles, and cathedrals, completed by generations of stone masons, taxpayers, and kings. America was different. Until recently, American monuments and statues were erected privately by free men and women to honor patriots like Perry, Revere, and John Paul Jones. Newly freed slaves contributed $17,000 to build the controversial statue of Lincoln and a rising black man with broken shackles. Think about it. $17,000 in 1876 was serious money, voluntarily paid in, pennies and nickels from black families who had little, except an overwhelming urge to honor the fallen Lincoln.
There are three national monuments in Washington DC that must be protected at all costs, including fixed bayonets and bullets if necessary, the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and Washington Monument. All the misery and shame of bankrupt Chicago and Detroit will be our grim national fate if we tarnish or disown America's great white liberators.
Mobs want to destroy something? Let them wreck the monument to a rich, laughing king of bureaucracy, lies, monetary chaos, improvised folly, brazen threats, and personal complicity in the Soviet enslavement of Europe. Fellow travelers gave them atomic bomb secrets. FDR became president for life by promising to cut the size of government 25% and growing it to more than 60% of GDP, seizing every U.S. factory and farm to supply Stalin. His legacy is a ponzi pyramid of public entitlements, regulatory paperwork, unpayable debt and inflation. White people have their share of villains who should be torn from the public square, LBJ in particular, ten times worse than FDR, killed two million Vietnamese and betrayed 10 million stable two-parent negro families. The Great Society rewarded single mothers, drunks, drug dealers, incompetent black teachers, and corrupt "community organizers."
NPR constantly advances the notion of black heroism, creativity, and scientific genius. That's shameful pandering, an absurd distortion of history. The intellectual contribution of Africa was tribal genocide, slavery, disease, starvation, drum worship, and child rape, which were incurable by European colonization or American largesse. British transportation of slaves to Brazil, the Carribean, and U.S. colonial plantations was social disaster for all concerned. 90% of African slaves went to Brazil, worked to death or perished from disease. The 6% of slaves who were transported to America were treated better. They had families and children. The Civil War and Reconstruction were ruinous and rocky, but by 1948 there was racial harmony and mutual respect in the industrial north. Count Basie was famous. Republicans enacted equal rights, over the objections and attempted filibuster by Southern Democrats, historic black oppressors and segregationists, many of whom were members of the Ku Klux Klan.
Flash forward to today: 43 million African-American citizens. After 100 years of civil liberty, followed by 60 years of lavish welfare, preferential hiring and education, blacks are 100% responsible for savage street crime, chronic illness, academic gibberish, and bankruptcy of formerly prosperous majority white cities coast to coast. It's no excuse that immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala, and Puerto Rico wanted a piece of the drug trade. Black mayors, black cops, and black politicians wasted decades and did nothing except to line their pockets and rant about imaginary, highly-taxed "white privilege" and the national anthem. Hollywood movies and multiple decades of jazz, Motown, rap, pro sports, and TV lavished loot on black actors, musicians, athletes; black millionaires and billionaires departed Detroit for Beverly Hills. Obama abandoned Chicago for the White House, white schools, a gated mansion, an army of loyalists in majority black Washington DC, and control of the Democrat Party.
White flight has taken on renewed urgency. Apartment dwellers in Manhattan and Brooklyn are under bombardment by fireworks every night, and Obama ordered HUD integration of the suburbs, Section 8 welfare housing erected in single family white neighborhoods.
The general election of 2020 will be a body blow to the Republic. If Trump is reelected, there will be violent insurrection by murderous black mobs. If sock puppet Joe and black nationalist Michelle triumph with an avalanche of fake ballots, our heritage will crumble to dry white dust, to be swept aside by a Green New Deal and "racial justice" intimidation. As I explained many times, justice is the armed defense of innocent liberty. It has nothing to do with race, climate, elections, entitlements, public education, protest marches, looting or arson. Cops are being targeted with gunfire and filthy verbal assault daily. If they fight back, they are suspended, smeared, investigated, indicted, financially and professionally ruined by black prosecutors and black juries, deaf to reason or respect for allegedly racist cops.

When things return to normal
Smooth BBC liars lull me to sleep at night, an old habit.
But I hate waking up to communists on NPR. This morning it was TED radio hour, a billionaire early investor in Amazon. No, no, not good enough to give away his own loot. The only way to end income disparity, he said, was to take away everyone's wealth, a 50% tax on income and capital gains. Those who earn less than $100K to be paid time-and-a-half for 40 hours a week, a $20 minimum wage. Big round of applause from the Stanford social warrior TED audience.
What do rioters and antifa want? Destruction and looted luxury goods. Run the police ragged and attack them with rocks and fireworks. Next it will be snipers, like the guy who killed five cops at a Black Lives Matter rally in Dallas. Bad joke on Chicago, hiring the black chief of police who resigned his do-nothing job as top cop in Dallas. Not to be outdone in symbolic idiocy, Dallas hired a black female police chief. The murder rate in both cities increased.
George Floyd? - a dangerous felon with a long rap sheet for armed robbery and assault. He resisted arrest, too doped up to talk sense, a giant that took four cops to wrangle. Did they find a gun in his car? Crack, meth, PCP, or heroin? There was a hostile crowd to watch. No wonder they called for back-up in bulletproof vests. An official autopsy showed no airway injury, no neck injuries. George Floyd tore away in a fentanyl-amphetamine "speedball" stumble. Cops knew he was seriously stoned, held him down, waited for EMS to arrive.
"Universal condemnation!" Hannity proclaims, silencing debate. "He was a Christian man!" Metaxas yells. "No justice, no peace!" mobs of brick throwing protestors cry. In Chicago they didn't need prepositioned pallets of bricks and fire accelerants like Minneapolis, New York, and Washington DC. Looters carried bowling balls, baseball bats, and long handle shovels to smash windows in downtown Chicago, with 132 Chicago cops injured by black rioters.
200 NYPD cops injured, 40 squad cars damaged. 114 District cops and U.S. Park Police injured defending the White House. Every major and minor city in America looted and burned. 75 million white people cowering at home, forbidden to work. Target abandoning 105 looted, boarded up stores. CVS shut locations in 20 states. WalMart closing 100 stores. No fire and casualty insurance payouts for civil strife. Cops in Altanta fired for arresting black agitators. Cops in Buffalo and the Bronx run over by cars. A Vegas cop shot in the head point blank.
Our nation is dying.
Tom Gresham has the right take on it. Antifa is an organized assault funded by Democrats. Don't get involved. Cops can't tell if you're a good guy. They can't see the halo on your head. If antifa rioters try to pull you out of your car, use the skinny right pedal and floor it. If you have no other choice, windows being broken out, light 'em up. Tom carries a double stack automatic, like police do, plenty of ammo to deal with multiple assailants. Antifa thugs are equipped with weapons and firebombs. They shot cops in three states. Don't be a victim.
I hope the military can contain China, Russia, and Iran, virus or no virus. Our adversaries will try to take advantage of economic collapse at home. We might lose the White House, not in November, I mean August. Depends on how heavily armed Black Lives Matter is. I've heard it a hundred times in radio ads, cheery and confident realtors and travel agents: "This too shall pass. When life gets back to normal..."
The depth of willful Republican blindness is astonishing. 82 shootings, 19 dead in Chicago last week, unrelated to the riots. As usual, Mark Levin has everything upside down, blinkered by his brief tenure working for Ed Meese. He's a Trump flagwaver, demanding military action, and he fantasizes that FBI agents and U.S. Marshals can infiltrate antifa undercover. Middle aged tough guys in crewcuts will fit right in, no problem, huh? Jeez.
The right thing to do is to withdraw the cops. Business owners can leave town or defend their property with the 2nd Amendment. Shut down all public schools and fire brainwashed union teachers. Give the school buildings to private organizations, religious or commercial. If cops want to do something, they should attack the narcotics trade as fiercely as Elliot Ness. Either that or pack up law enforcement as a proactive enterprise. Let dope-addled gangsters kill each other. Big cities are no longer needed to conduct finance, trade, or higher ed. The future will be digital and decentralized, in small towns and well-defended enclaves of excellence, none of which will be in Nigeria or Congo. No wonder that freed slaves adamantly refused Lincoln's offer to send them home with grubstake reparations.
No virtue in voting. That's how we got into this mess. Ben Shapiro is hilarious. "We're still a civilized country!" he exclaims, urging Trump to mobilize the 82nd Airborne to tame L.A. and defend Beverly Hills synagogues, jewelers, and Jewish media tycoons. "Where the hell are the authorities?" he rants angrily about Jews being attacked by black looters in Brooklyn.
Every morning another shock. Not important that cops are being shot, four more in St. Louis. There's a far bigger problem. Amazon borrowed $10 billion at 24% annual interest. Consider what that implies, if you understand credit. It has to be a false or garbled report. The least creditworthy junk borrowers paid less than 12% last year. If it's true that Amazon is shelling out usurious 24% as a bad credit risk, then capital markets are frozen shut. I think that makes sense. Credit quality from coast-to-coast crashed. Risk rocketed to the stratosphere. The oil industry is bankrupt, hanging on with Federal bailout loans. Don't depend on refineries to continue in operation. Convert as much as you can to propane or natural gas.
Cops have warned that they can't respond to home invasion or assault. Arm yourself like the citizens of Cicero, Illinois. Curfews are meaningless. National Guard helicopters might work. But martial law and social distancing have killed any hope of normalcy or progress. Trump is indelibly painted with racism, fascism, and crony capitalism. Truth is the first casualty of war, and war was declared long before Trump took office.
Postscript to Mark Levin. Dems are done with Jews. You've been cut out of the coalition. The Republicans say they care about equal rights, but it might be empty words. They remember what happened to George W. Bush, sandbagged by Wolfowitz and Pearle. Trump is in your corner, but he's on the way out. Public service is a dead ideology. Cop recruitment collapsed, resignations up. Forget about the mainstream media. They're doomed dinosaurs. Antifa is coordinated on dark web Proton. If I were you (which I'm not) I'd move to Israel. "There was progress being made!" you moaned on June 1st, but it's over, all gone, and you know it. An endless lock-down for the Wuhan panic, half of all deaths in nursing homes, something else to wrongly pin on Trump. Now a Democrat funded insurrection, New York City smashed and bleeding. No way back from Obama's calculated civil war, and Ray Charles can't fix it.
I just heard a BBC interview with the brainless girl mayor of Rochester. I hereby certify that America is finished. It's over. We're the walking dead. California and New York lawmakers and mayors are in favor of defunding police. Their summer soldiers and midnight assassins are targeting cops, three more ambushed in Brooklyn last night. Don't underestimate the criminal conspiracy to sabotage law and order. Car dealers cleaned out in San Francisco and Chicago, keyboxes pried open, 150 new cars stolen. ATMs blown up and robbed.
The BBC asks rhetorically: "Is America ready for real change?" Change from what to what? Merit to mush. Liberty to reparations. Mob rule.
Mark my words. Taking down the statue of Lee was only an opening salvo. They won't stop until they change the flag, fifty stars on a field of blue black, and the national anthem: "Oh, say, does our new spangled ban-aa-anner now way-ave, o'r the lan-and built by slaves and the home of George Floyd?" Black generals, black admirals, black teachers and doctors.
It's over. There will be secession.
The uptick in jobs and Wall Street share prices? Your tax dollars at work, $2 trillion poured into small business, used car sales, mail order consumer spending. What it amounts to is a near fatal shot of cocaine. Senate leader McConnell is in full panic, has to push through more borrowed paper funneled through terrified bankers, injecting more horse into the economy, pending more theft, riot, arson, cops and Marines told to stand down, unarmed, make nice with mobs who will castigate, chant obscenities, and throw things at them.
Oh. Something else to think about and take appropriate action. $10 or $12 trillion created by fiat, rather than creditworthiness, will exhibit itself in devaluation of the U.S. dollar overseas and domestic inflation, another reason to cut off lending. Save every penny you can, work if you can, and spend nothing. No new clothes, no new shoes, no kitchen remodel or roofing. Consider a rural Flyover bugout when your job goes poof. Rising prices will kill construction and socially distanced drinking and dining. Risk averse Americans are not going to fly more than once on a crowded plane suffocating in masks, exchanging nervous glances.
Don't be a chump. Boeing is still in business because they have a fat contract to build tankers based on the two-engine 757 airframe. Has nothing to do with passenger aircraft sales. Their order book is a big blank page, passenger airline orders cancelled worldwide. The 737 MAX might never be cleared to fly. It depends on what Obama decides to do. He might impose a hiring quota or simply push Boeing into bankruptcy, to punish white executives, engineers, and skilled mechanics. China would certainly prefer to have Boeing shut.
Eventually, we'll have a multi-billionaire Chinese U.S. president, er, Chairman. I don't enjoy being clairvoyant or realistic about the future. Obama always was and remains a completely treasonous foreign policy fool. Do you think Joe is capable of resisting what Barack tells him to do? A tiny hypodermic poke would promote Michelle to the Oval Office.
Unvarnished truthfulness is usually painful. The hundreds of thousands of black marchers infected each other with Wuhan Corona-19 virus. Our media embargo on who George Floyd was and why he died, from narcotics, a failed struggle to escape, and high blood pressure from a lifetime of greasy fast food and drug and alcohol abuse, is another suicidal march of death, 24/7 repetition of inflammatory lies, smearing cops as racist killers, all black people innocent victims entitled to six-figure reparations and public office.
Infinitely worse, the fabric of American life was shredded. No fair trial in Minnesota. Guilty by threat of mob violence. Ballot harvesting, one-party Democrat rule, confiscatory taxation, and a Green New Deal to silence and starve greedy whites.

Foreign policy of Alaska
In The Executive Branch and an explanatory video, The Executive Power, I sketched the practical and intellectual dimensions of a free society, presented in the context of Alaskan nationhood under widely subscribed ratification of The Freeman's Constitution. For a fuller account of the historical, conceptual, logical, and personal elements that led me to a new constitution, there are lectures at Vimeo and paperbacks at Amazon and Lulu. My novels are just as important as my nonfiction books, all of which explore liberty and justice. It was my perceived duty to define those terms in plain language based on Anglo-American common law and equity. I did not re-invent law, but brought it into focus as an anarchist. I'll discuss anarchy a little later. I want to begin with the problem of foreign policy in a free society.
Let's assume that Alaska successfully secedes from the Lower 49, which is fictionalized in The Executive Branch saga and referenced elsewhere repeatedly. If any territory has a good shot at creating an independent and free society, it's Alaska, a naturally defined land mass loaded with natural resources, plenty of room for development and increased population, a magnet for freemen and aspirational women who want to see their values reflected in civil law and practical law enforcement, a realm I believe that women should govern. Men will be plenty busy providing national security and managing foreign policy.
I don't see Russia as a threat, but rather as a trading partner and strategic counterparty. It is necessary to arm Alaska with nuclear weapons as a deterrent to forcible "reunion" with the U.S. or aggression by other powers, including Russia. I believe it's possible to buy nuclear weapons from Russia in a comprehensive treaty accord that grants Russia fishing rights and commercial interests, provided that Russian fishing vessels, army, navy, aircraft, immigrants, and diplomats comport themselves in compliance with Alaska's constitutional order. This does not imply strategic alliance with Russia, more like a nonaggression pact with teeth, to accommodate a neighbor with few friends and much to gain from commercial trade with Alaska and its allies. I don't doubt that Canada, Japan, and Korea will find ample reason to reach tariff-free trade agreements with libertarian Alaska, to participate in its economic development. Japan and Korea are hungry for oil and gas. They have industrial products to trade. Cunucks are logical strategic and financial friends, privately and diplomatically.
Obviously, there will be bad blood with the former United States or its fractured remnant of contentious and militarily divided regions. It is a precondition of Alaskan independence that the Union will be shattered by civil strife, which seems likely, given the current tailspin into rival interests. California will be first to secede and divide itself in three or four mini-states, with a badly governed, violent No Man's Land in Southern California (El Norte), held by a socialist dictator in Washington who controls the East Coast from Maine to Florida and parts of the Rust Belt. He'll make a deal with Texas and its militarily weak oil patch dependents in Oklahoma and Louisiana to supply oil and gas, and reach accommodation on Gulf Coast and border security. New Mexico depises Texas passionately, will probably form an alliance with eastern Arizona, rural Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and the Ozarks, as weak as a litter of kittens economically, but gritty and proud of their frontier heritage. The South will rise again to its peril. The Mountain States and Dakotas have a good shot at unified and unchallenged success, trading with Canada, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and rural Illinois. Chicago is doomed. Seattle has a long deep history as a vassal of the military, a strategic home port. Puget Sound will be Alaska's strategic foe, separated by a 500-mile DMZ patrolled by neutral Cananda. An Alaskan navy and air force are the only hope of effective national defense. How U.S. forces based in pre-revolutionary Alaska conceive their future as champions of independence will determine how quickly or how painfully Alaska wins its freedom as a new nation.
Impossible? Hah. All too likely. The Union was held by force and fraud and flag-waving ritual beyond its viability as a cohesive society. The United States of America is bankrupt. Our 2020 election will crack us into regional and racial tribes. Trump may be the last U.S. President, destined to preside over violent insurrections and economic collapse. Demobilized veterans of Afghanistan and the Gulf will return to families and neighbors armed with pitchforks and torches, colleges and universities shut by rock-throwing militants, burning cities, fistfights in the House of Representatives, and hysterical fusion of fear and fake news.
Earlier I promised to say something about anarchy. It has nothing to do with social disorder. Civil liberty, however you conceive it, however narrow or broad in a free society, is a degree of absolute anarchy, doing as you please, deciding who to marry, which job to take, etc. In a fully free society, social order evolves in the multiplicity of individual decisions, a defacto anarchy exhibited in the Gilded Age of Andrew Carnegie and Jay Gould, two of many paupers who rose to become fabulously rich in a free market that also lifted millions of paupers into miraculous prosperity. It really does matter, to study history. We were a free people at the dawn of the American Experiment, freed again by a long era of incompetent, easily bribed government bankrupted by a Civil War that cost fives times the GNP of 1860. Freedom from regulation bestowed astonishing industrial capital growth, skyscrapers, steel mills, power plants, railroads and threshers to gather harvests and feed millions of city dwellers.
That's what Alaska needs, a free society. To grasp what that implies, please read my portrait of an anarcho-capitalist Alaska, ably defended by a private Executive Branch. It's not hard to understand that banks, insurance companies, and wealthy private citizens would organize themselves voluntarily to fund Alaskan defense. There was a patriotic precedent in 1776, a conspiracy of bankers, merchants, and planters to launch the American Revolutionary War of Independence by privately contributing millions in gold to supply a Continental Army. Most of the patriots were immigrants and self-made men. There was a notable exception among the immigrants, however. Thomas Paine was a dirt poor writer, recruited and published by Benjamin Franklin. I feel drawn to visit Alaska while I'm healthy enough to travel.

Let's assume that Alaska successfully secedes from the Lower 49, which is fictionalized in The Executive Branch saga and referenced elsewhere repeatedly. If any territory has a good shot at creating an independent and free society, it's Alaska, a naturally defined land mass loaded with natural resources, plenty of room for development and increased population, a magnet for freemen and aspirational women who want to see their values reflected in civil law and practical law enforcement, a realm I believe that women should govern. Men will be plenty busy providing national security and managing foreign policy.
I don't see Russia as a threat, but rather as a trading partner and strategic counterparty. It is necessary to arm Alaska with nuclear weapons as a deterrent to forcible "reunion" with the U.S. or aggression by other powers, including Russia. I believe it's possible to buy nuclear weapons from Russia in a comprehensive treaty accord that grants Russia fishing rights and commercial interests, provided that Russian fishing vessels, army, navy, aircraft, immigrants, and diplomats comport themselves in compliance with Alaska's constitutional order. This does not imply strategic alliance with Russia, more like a nonaggression pact with teeth, to accommodate a neighbor with few friends and much to gain from commercial trade with Alaska and its allies. I don't doubt that Canada, Japan, and Korea will find ample reason to reach tariff-free trade agreements with libertarian Alaska, to participate in its economic development. Japan and Korea are hungry for oil and gas. They have industrial products to trade. Cunucks are logical strategic and financial friends, privately and diplomatically.
Obviously, there will be bad blood with the former United States or its fractured remnant of contentious and militarily divided regions. It is a precondition of Alaskan independence that the Union will be shattered by civil strife, which seems likely, given the current tailspin into rival interests. California will be first to secede and divide itself in three or four mini-states, with a badly governed, violent No Man's Land in Southern California (El Norte), held by a socialist dictator in Washington who controls the East Coast from Maine to Florida and parts of the Rust Belt. He'll make a deal with Texas and its militarily weak oil patch dependents in Oklahoma and Louisiana to supply oil and gas, and reach accommodation on Gulf Coast and border security. New Mexico depises Texas passionately, will probably form an alliance with eastern Arizona, rural Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and the Ozarks, as weak as a litter of kittens economically, but gritty and proud of their frontier heritage. The South will rise again to its peril. The Mountain States and Dakotas have a good shot at unified and unchallenged success, trading with Canada, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and rural Illinois. Chicago is doomed. Seattle has a long deep history as a vassal of the military, a strategic home port. Puget Sound will be Alaska's strategic foe, separated by a 500-mile DMZ patrolled by neutral Cananda. An Alaskan navy and air force are the only hope of effective national defense. How U.S. forces based in pre-revolutionary Alaska conceive their future as champions of independence will determine how quickly or how painfully Alaska wins its freedom as a new nation.
