[Federalist] Despite our march toward electronic money, an important message is still jingling in pockets across America, "E pluribus unum." The Latin phrase stamped on coins and bills means "Out of many, one." It was coined in 1776 for the original design of the Great Seal of the United States. The Founding Fathers wanted to underscore the 13 colonies that came together as a single nation. Since then, it has come to include many different people forming one nation.
It is a concept so important that in the Coinage Act of 1873, Congress required "E pluribus unum" be inscribed on every coin, along with "In God We Trust." We should take these mottos seriously.
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also," the Bible reads in Matthew 6:21. Placing the motto on our money elevates its importance and serves as a reminder, in an era where many have forgotten, what it means to be one.
E pluribus unum is a memorial to the collective struggle of the original 13 colonies and the acknowledgement that they shared a culture, traditions, and a similar concern that their rights were being threatened by a tyrannical British Crown. Those similarities brought them together as a new nation and kept them together.
The founders still mourned the bloody cost of the American Revolution ‐ an unwanted task they were forced to endure, to establish freedom and hope for prosperity defined on their own terms.
[IsraelTimes] Ruth Deech, who served on the public broadcaster’s board of governors, says staff have an ‘absolute obsession’ with the Jewish state, but little training or historical knowledge
[AmericanThinker] Oliver JJ Lane, a writer and editor for Breitbart London, writes frequently about the growing censorship regime in the U.K., the public’s distrust of both institutional government and Establishment politicians of all labels, the official cover-up of Muslim "grooming" gangs that target and rape British children, and the increasing backlash of native Britons against a ruling class that prioritizes "multiculturalism" and "diversity" over everything else. A running theme of his articles is that the U.K. is headed for civil war.
Last summer, Lane wrote a piece with this provocative headline: "Britain Preparing for Civil War but Uses Russian Threat As Political Cover, Says London Academic." In the piece, he takes direct aim at the U.K. government’s 2025 National Security Strategy. That document argues that dangerous threats from Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran mean "we have to actively prepare for the possibility of the UK homeland coming under direct threat." Citing the need to protect "critical national infrastructure" from foreign enemies who might soon invade the British Isles, the strategy includes plans to reconstitute a "Home Defense" force capable of preventing domestic "sabotage during a crisis" and protecting the country from "enemy states and terrorists."
In response to the government’s warning of imminent foreign invasion, Lane drew readers’ attention to comments from Professor David Betz, an academic specializing in war studies, who called the National Security Strategy "logically absurd." In remarks intended to refute the U.K. government’s "Russia, Russia, Russia" narrative, Betz argued that internal threats to the country are much more significant than any threats coming from foreign powers thousands of miles away.
Describing British society as "low trust, highly fractured, and highly politically factionalized," Betz warned that "civil conflict" is "increasingly inevitable." Then Betz directly accused U.K. authorities of hiding the true intentions behind their overhaul of domestic security forces: "What they’re concerned about is domestic conflict... but that’s completely politically toxic for them to say so publicly, hence the convenience of saying, ’We need to develop... a citizen’s militia for the protection of critical infrastructure.’ To say that we’re doing this against the potential of Russian attack... is convenient as a pretext."
By using Professor Betz’s arguments as a counterweight to the British government’s stated national security objectives, Lane deftly suggested to the reader an alternative interpretation of current events. What if a heavily armed "Home Defense" force has nothing to do with expelling foreign troops, spies, and saboteurs? What if the bellicose cries of generals and members of parliament have nothing to do with Russia and everything to do with subduing the civilian population? What if all the polemical pundits who insist that British families must prepare to sacrifice everything (even their children!) for an impending WWIII are really just "playing their part" as propagandists eager to keep the population distracted, fearful, and in line?
Fast-forward to this week, and Lane has written another piece that sharply articulates the disconnect between the government officials preparing Britain for war and the ordinary Britons who will be expected to do the fighting. With talk of military conscription filling the airwaves and a glut of hyperventilating government officials assuring citizens that war with Russia has already begun, Lane notes "the reality that many young Britons feel the government has actively sabotaged their interests and are wondering why they ought to risk their lives for such a state."
While Establishment saber-rattlers speak nostalgically of the heroism and self-sacrifice of those Britons who fought and struggled through WWI and WWII, Lane addresses the elephant in the room: a century of "ever-larger welfare" handouts and a multigenerational demographic replacement that will soon render "ethnic Britons" a "minority" in their geographical homeland have transformed British society into something weaker, less unified, less patriotic, and much less capable of self-sacrifice and self-defense. Many young people, Lane concludes, no longer believe that "fighting for the government is synonymous with fighting for their own interests."

Two things make the old world go around, and the other one is money.
The discovery of gold in the Witwatersrand region in 1886 was a pivotal event that led to the Second Anglo-Boer War. The British Empire sought to control the Transvaal Boer Republic to secure control over the lucrative gold mining in the area. The war was marked by significant battles and strategies, including the Siege of Ladysmith and the Battle of Spion Kop. The conflict resulted in the deaths of nearly 100,000 people and the establishment of the Union of South Africa in 1910. The war had profound social, political, and economic impacts, including the rise of Afrikaner nationalism and changes in land ownership and settlement patterns. Wikipedia
