John Calvin “abominated ‘mixture,’ one of the most pejorative terms in his vocabulary; mixture in any area of experience suggested to him disorder and unintelligibility… Mixture, for Calvin, connoted ‘adulteration’ or ‘promiscuity,’ but it also set off in him deep emotional and metaphysical reverberations. He repeatedly warned against ‘mixing together things totally different.’ … The positive corollary of Calvin’s loathing of mixture was his approval of boundaries, which separate one thing from another. He attributed boundaries to God Himself: God had established the boundaries between peoples, which should therefore remain within the space assigned to them… ‘Just as there are in a military camp separate lines for each platoon and section,’ Calvin observed, ‘men are placed on the earth so that each nation may be content with its own boundaries.’”

During the American revolutionary period, one of the most common practices among patriots, activists, and revolutionaries was wearing disguises or covering faces to prevent themselves from being identified. This wasn't because they were cowardly; it was because during moments of heated political action, one must prioritize self-preservation.
1. The Boston Tea Party: Roughly 100-150 activists from the Sons of Liberty—led by Sam Adams, dressed up their faces to look like Mohawk Indians and dump tens of thousands of pounds of tea into the Boston harbor.
2. Stamp Act Protests (1765): In Boston and other ports, Sons of Liberty members blackened their faces with charcoal or wore masks while hanging effigies of tax collectors (e.g., Andrew Oliver) and destroying stamped paper.
3. Boston Non-Importation Agreement Enforcement (1768–1770): Patriots disguised themselves to intimidate merchants violating boycotts of British goods. Nighttime raids often involved face paint or masks to target violators anonymously.
4. The Gaspee Affair: Dozens of Rhode Island patriots disguised themselves as Indians and boarded and burned the British customs Schooner the HMS Gaspee.
5. Boston Massacre Agitators: Some colonists involved in inciting or participating in the events leading to the massacre used simple disguises (hats, coats, or face paint) during nighttime gatherings to avoid recognition by British soldiers and loyalists.
6. Various Tar and Feathering Incidents: Groups like the Sons of Liberty often wore masks, blackened faces, or Indian disguises while tarring and feathering British tax collectors or loyalists (e.g., in multiple colonies throughout the 1760s-1770s) to protect members from arrest.
7. Paul Revere's Midnight Ride Support Network: While Revere himself wasn't disguised, members of the alarm system (including riders and signalers) used civilian disguises or thick face paint to participate in action that would have resulted in civil punishments.
8. Culper Spy Ring Operations: Spies like Abraham Woodhull (Samuel Culper Sr.) and Robert Townsend used false identities and simple disguises (face paint, aliases, or posing as merchants) while operating in British-held New York.
9. Fort Ticonderoga Capture : Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys used surprise and rudimentary disguises/camouflage (frontier hunter attire blending with the environment), and various paints and face coverings during their dawn raid, though it was more about stealth than full costume.
10. Intolerable Acts Resistance: After the Boston Port Bill, disguised groups in Massachusetts and Connecticut conducted raids on British supply lines and officials, often with face paint for quick anonymity.
This is a very American thing to do when engaging in extraordinary political tensions.
One more thing on the topic of “Americanism.” The first Klan was a defensive organization against the terrorism of Yankee carpetbaggers during “Reconstruction.” I don’t think there’s evidence that they used any of the Confederate flags. The imagery was intended as the ghosts of the Confederate dead who had come back to protect their people from the “40 acres and a mule” thieves, and it was quite effective.
When the second Klan was formed after Birth of a Nation in 1915, the American flag was used prominently for the exact reasons stated in my previous post. The theme was a bold assertion of American Protestantism in the face of millions of papists who were coming ashore from Italy, Ireland, etc. This chimping led to the great immigration restriction of 1924. You may not realize how indebted to the KKK you are for that.
Now, in movie after movie, the Klan is always depicted with the Confederate flag. That did come along much later, with the third Klan, during the segregation fights of the 1950s-60s, and it spilled over into the 70s in popular culture: state flags, NASCAR, TV shows like the Dukes of Hazzard. Lynyrd Skynyrd and other bands displayed it prominently, and it was a regular article of clothing in the South. This was a common expression of Southern identity.
By the 90s, pressure against this became relentless, and conformity to the American mean followed. Ole Miss banned the Confederate flag and Colonel Reb. In the gay year of 2015, Governor Robert Bentley of Alabama was the first to remove the flag from public grounds. Nikki Haley did the same in South Carolina days later. NASCAR banned the flag during the Summer of Floyd.
What most people think they know about all of this is taught to them by Jewish media companies, and the fundamentally Protestant motivations of the early 20th century are lost, as are the efforts to reassert regional identity against being more easily controllable imperial proles. That early 20th century energy wasn’t a Protestant faith confined to Sunday morning. It was militant against the effort to overwhelm us with strangers and their strange religion.
Introducing the Manurhin MR73 Liberty, a revolver crafted to honor 250 years of American independence and the pursuit of excellence.
Here's a piece of history many people don't know: the majority of muskets and flintlocks used by the Continental Army during the Revolution were made in France - many just 30 kilometers (20 miles) from where Manurhin revolvers are crafted today.
As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary, the MR73 Liberty pays tribute to the alliance, craftsmanship, and pursuit of excellence that helped shape our nation's history.

Every single one pays for his own card, goes through single file, and gets out of the way if his card doesn't work rather than holding everyone else up. Literally the Whitest thing ever.
For anyone confused about what Patriot Front is about and their stance on the issues we face today, here is Thomas’s speech from yesterday. I got chills.

After you hear Patriot Front actually defend themselves instead of Mainstream media falsely speaking on their behalf, you’ll realize why the system fears them so much.
Here’s the leader Thomas Rousseau.
