Freedom's Sons Read online

  GUBU—Grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre, unprecedented. Slang term used to describe most activities of the Aryan resistance movement prior to the advent of the Northwest Migration concept, and regrettably for some time after that as well.

  Gun Bunny—Adolescent female Northwest Volunteer or associate of the NVA. A number of these young women distinguished themselves in combat, intelligence, and support roles during the War of Independence.

  GW—Kinetic energy firearms named after the renowned Texas gunsmith and engineer Gary Wilkerson, who invented a kinetic energy plate whereby the bullet is not propelled by a gunpowder-charged cartridge, but by a small kinetic energy charge from a metal power grid in the receiving group or bolt assembly of the weapon. Wilkerson KE technology is the basis for most NDF (q.v.) small arms.

  Hats or Hat Squad—Semi-derogatory, pre-revolutionary term used by native-born white Northwesterners for Aryan settlers who answered the Old Man’s call for migration. Refers to the eventual adoption of the fedora hat as the badge or insignia for Northwest settlers, at first of the Christian Identity faith, then later on the practice spread to migrants of all faiths.

  It Takes A Village—Slang term for the Federal Child Protection and Welfare Act, passed during the first term of President Hillary Clinton. Basically, a form of legalized kidnapping of white children for purposes of social engineering and federal revenue enhancement. The name comes from a book written in the 1990s by Ms. Clinton when she was co-president. Based on the precedent of the Elian Gonzales case of 2000, the act gave the federal government the power to obtain legal custody over any child deemed to be “at risk” from any “undesirable or inappropriate home environment,” terms which could, of course, mean whatever the local U.S. Attorney said they meant, and then place such children elsewhere. In actual practice the act was used to take advantage of the scarcity of healthy white infants and young children available for adoption by the wealthy, due to the declining white birth rate in the early 21st century. The only children deemed to be at risk under the act were white, from poor or politically incorrect families. Placement involved an adoption bond from the adopting parents, which could range from $100,000 for older children to as high as a million dollars for a healthy, blonde-haired and blue-or-green-eyed female infant.

  Longview Conference—The conference wherein the United States agreed to withdraw from the areas of the Northwest Homeland deemed to be “administratively untenable,” i.e. effectively under NVA control. At that point in time this consisted of the states of Idaho, Oregon, Washington, parts of western Montana, and most of Wyoming.

  NAR—Northwest American Republic. Nation established as a worldwide home for all persons of unmixed Aryan, that is to say white, non-Semitic, European descent. The Northwest American Republic presently consists of the entire states of Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming as well as hefty chunks of northern California, western Montana, Alberta, and British Columbia.

  National Socialism—The racial and political world view (Weltanschaung in German) of the philosopher, soldier, and statesman Adolf Hitler (1889-1945).

  NBA—Northwest Broadcasting Authority. State body in charge of all broadcast communications and entertainment in the Northwest American Republic.

  NDF—Northwest Defense Force. The combined land, sea, air and space commands of the NAR military. All male citizens of the Republic are required to serve in the NDF for a minimum of two years of active duty plus reserve requirements up until age 50.

  NLS—National Labor Service. There is no welfare as such in the Northwest American Republic. Neither is there any unemployment. If no private sector jobs are available in a particular field or locality, the Labor Service steps in to provide employment, usually on public works of various kinds. Many Northwest workers choose to work for the NLS voluntarily.

  NVA—Northwest Volunteer Army. Formed on October 22nd in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, in response to the murder of the Singer family. Predecessor to the NDF.

  OBA—Old Believers Association. The official NAR organization of non-Christian religious groups including Asatru, the proto-NS Nordic Faith Movement, and some elements of Wicca and Druidic cultism.

  Old Man—Early advocate of Northwest Migration and independence. Helped found the Party (q.v.) and served as a convenient figurehead for the independence movement during the War of Independence, although he always considered his role in the revolution to be greatly exaggerated. Served two terms as State President and was able to stabilize and consolidate the gains of the revolution, but was effectively removed from power by President Patrick Brennan and the Pragmatic Tendency in Parliament because he was thought to be a dangerously radical relic of the past. Served for many years President Emeritus of the Northwest Republic and living in seclusion. Suffers from dementia praecox due to his advanced age and is generally confused and incoherent. Has issues with ducks. [See The Hill of the Ravens.]

  ONR—The United States Office of Northwest Recovery. Covert agency of the United States government devoted to the long-term goal of returning the Northwest Republic to the United States and Canada respectively. Regularly conducts assassinations, sabotage, and other subversive activities within the Northwest American Republic.

  On the Bounce—NVA slang term for being on the run from the American police and military.

  Operation Strikeout—Twelve years after the Longview Conference the United States and Canada, in conjunction with the United Nations, launched what they believed to be a surprise attack against the Northwest Republic, intending to re-conquer the Pacific Northwest and return the Homeland to American imperial rule. Due to superior intelligence on the part of BOSS (q.v.) and the War Prevention Bureau (q.v.) the attack was not the surprise that the Pentagon thought it would be. The Americans and Canadians were decisively defeated in a campaign lasting 46 days and large sections of northern California, Alberta, British Columbia and Alaska were added to the Republic’s territory.

  The Party—The fighting revolutionary Party of Northwest independence founded by the Old Man, once a sufficient number of racially aware migrants had arrived in the Homeland to effect the socio-political demographic change necessary to make such a Party feasible. Although the Party was comprised mostly of people who were native-born in the Northwest, it was made possible by the influx of racially aware migrants who listened to the Old Man’s call and heeded it. Based upon the principles of National Socialism as expressed in the Cotswolds Declaration of 1962 and the Ten Principles of National Socialist Thought, yet offering a broad program of tolerance and participation for all Aryan religious and political tendencies, the Party provided the political leadership for the revolution, while the NVA provided the military capability.

  Resurrection Shuffle—NVA term for going on the run, evading the Federal forces.

  Rockwell, Commander George Lincoln (1918-1967)—American National Socialist leader. Founder of the American Nazi Party and the World Union of National Socialists.

  Senior Citizens’ Quality of Life Act—Passed during Hillary Clinton’s second term as president. Allowed the euthanasia of elderly people in hospitals and nursing homes who, in the opinion of their physician, were “unlikely ever to achieve any quality of life or ability to live unassisted.” The physician was required to consult with the senior’s family before administering the fatal injection of sodium pentothal, or “hot shot,” but these very broad parameters led to widespread abuse by physicians who wanted to lighten their workloads or who were susceptible to bribes from family members, and by families anxious to gain inheritance and insurance benefits. The vast majority of elderly people thus legally euthanized were white.

  Shock and Awe—A customary tactic for NVA partisans lying in wait to ambush federal troops, police, news media, or other enemy personnel. The concealed Volunteers would suddenly explode in a precisely aimed, concentrated hail of gunfire on full automatic or other rapid fire technique, using armor piercing bullets, rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) etc. The object was to inflict as much damage as pos
sible in the opening seconds of an encounter, disorienting and disabling enemy reaction, before a rapid withdrawal under cover of smoke grenades or other stratagems. Also known as the Mad Minute.

  Spuckies—Derogatory and defamatory term used by local white people in the Northwest to denote racially conscious white settlers who came into the Homeland during pre-revolutionary times. Origin of this term unknown.

  SS—Special Service. The NAR and the Party’s élite military formation. Drawn from the top achievers of all the NDF branches, with naval, air, and space mobile wings. Highly trained and equipped with the most advanced equipment, the SS deliberately follows the traditions of its historic namesake of the Third Reich. The corps seeks to erase all differences and divisions of class, religion, and nationality, creating a true Aryan band of brothers. For this purpose, extensive political and racial education based on the principles of National Socialism is part and parcel of SS training and qualification.

  Stukach—A Russian term meaning informer, dating from the time of Stalin and the hideous purges of the 1930s. How exactly this term entered the lexicon of the Northwest American Republic is not certain. When applied to the family or person of a citizen, it is considered the ultimate insult, along with the words whigger and attorney. All three are considered to be killing words, i.e. prima facie casus belli under the law of the Republic for a duel to the death if the parties involved cannot be reconciled by formal procedures under the Code Duello.

  Take The Gap—Broadly speaking, to Come Home. To immigrate to the Northwest American Republic. In practice, to “take the gap” generally connotes an illegal entry into the Homeland from the United States, Aztlan, Canada, or sometimes by air. “Taking the gap” often involves physically running the border under gunfire and pursuit.

  Tickle—An operation of the Northwest Volunteer Army against a federal or Zionist target.

  Third Section (Threesec)—Intelligence, counterintelligence, security and special operations department of the Party prior to 10/22 and during the War of Independence. Created by Matt Redmond, who served as Threesec’s first director until his death. Organizational ancestor of both BOSS (q.v.) and War Prevention Bureau (q.v.).

  Volunteer—A male or female soldier of the Northwest Volunteer Army.

  Whigger—“White nigger.” A defamatory term for whites during the pre-revolutionary time who aped the mannerisms, behavior, and subculture of blacks. Considered to be a killing word in the NAR, i.e. sufficient casus belli for a duel to the death if no compromise can be reached between the parties involved.

  Whizz-Bang—Homemade rocket used by the NVA to attack fortified positions.

  Woodchuck—Originally a term with defamatory and derogatory connotations used by Aryan settlers in the Homeland to denote those born in the Northwest, especially in rural areas. Now transmuted and claimed as a proud and honorable designation by those born in the Homeland.

  WPB—The NAR’s War Prevention Bureau. A covert agency designed to prevent the necessary military, political, and psychological conditions from developing within the United States, Aztlan, or anywhere else that might lead to an existential military threat to the existence of the Northwest Republic, through the use of targeted assassination and other black ops. The WPB is also responsible for tracking down and liquidating spies and traitors to the Northwest Republic, including informers and traitors from the time of the War of Independence. Their motto in German is “Alles bekennings wird abgerechnet.” (Translation: “All accounts will be settled.”)

  ZOG—Zionist Occupation Government. Term originally created by the obscure National Socialist writer Eric Thomson in the 1970s. Strictly construed, ZOG means the federal government of the United States. In actual usage it is a much more all-embracing term meaning the System, the Establishment, the generic “them” used by oppressed peoples to denote the federal tyrant.

  PROLOGUE

  REMEMBER, REMEMBER, THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER

  (10 days after Longview)

  They were the men with a vision, the men with a cause,

  The men who defied their oppressor’s laws,

  The men who traded their chains for guns.

  Born into slavery, they were Freedom’s Sons.

  —Irish song from the Easter 1916 Rebellion

  At 7:30 sharp on the morning of November the first, an artillery shell from an eight-inch howitzer ripped through the air with a sound like tearing cardboard from the Washington side of the Columbia River. The shell crashed into the Union positions along the Oregon side, and vaporized a mobile home business office standing on a side street behind the scorched and crumpled ruins of the Portland Expo Center. The shell blasted dirt and shrapnel through the air, and drove a flying four-inch nail into the buttocks of United States Marine Corps lieutenant Abdul Malik Johnson.

  “Muthafukka!” screamed Johnson in pain and rage. He turned to his fellow African-American lying in a prone position beside him, Sergeant Alvin Pettibone, who was wearing the blue-black uniform of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Police Organization. “Racist muthafukkas done shot me in de ass!” he howled. Then he saw that Pettibone’s head was gone. “Fuck! I tole you not to look up when you gots incoming, fool!”

  The Washington side of the river began to flash and smoke, and thunder rolled across the water like a gigantic hollow drumroll as the rest of the Nationalist guns and rocket launchers opened up. Great geysers of concrete, asphalt, brick and wood leaped into the air all along Marine Drive, and projectiles plowed craters into the golf courses and parks where the Union artillery was dug in. The battle for Portland had begun.

  * * *

  On October 22nd, the Northwest American Republic officially came into existence as a homeland for all white people the world over. The Treaty had been signed five years to the day after the first open revolt in arms against the United States since 1861 occurred in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

  The historic document was the culmination of ten weeks of increasingly strained negotiations at the peace conference in Longview, Washington. There had been a breakthrough at the last minute, when it had appeared that the talks were about to collapse, and the American delegation had signed the Treaty—some said at gunpoint by the delegation from the Northwest Volunteer Army. There had apparently been some kind of fracas prior to the signing, although the stories coming out of Longview were muddled. [See A Mighty Fortress by the same author.] Under the terms of the Longview Treaty, President Chelsea Clinton had ordered the withdrawal of all American legal, military, and governmental personnel from the territories in the Northwest designated by the treaty, specifically the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and the western third of Montana. Almost all of the American forces were now in the process of complying.

  Here in Portland, though, USMC General Delmar Partman, a buzz-cut Alabamian and Christian fundamentalist of the Zionist and neoconservative 700 Club variety, had repudiated the Treaty. He refused to evacuate the City of Roses and hand it over to the new government. For the first time in the history of the Corps, a senior Marine officer mutinied against an order from his commander in chief. Partman delivered a long and meandering speech on live television just after the signing of the Longview Treaty, wherein he stated that his conscience would not allow him to hand over his command to “the forces of darkness and hatred.” He alone would stand up for “the conscience of history and the soul of America” by declining to deliver sovereign U.S. territory to “a gang of back-shooting white trash criminals.” Partman had then closed his TV address with an impromptu rendition of Jesus Loves the Little Children. The world was treated to the sight of a tall, leathery soldier in dress blues, his chest full of decorations, with tears streaming down his face as he sang

  “Red and yellow, black and white,

  They are precious in His sight,

  Jesus loves the little children of the world!”

  No one in the media and no one in either the liberal or the neoconservative political élites seemed to find this behavior odd, nor did t
hey see any irony in the fact that Partman was about to demonstrate Christ’s love for all the little children of the world by sending tens of thousands of men, women, and children of all races to their death in a brutal battle for a city that now legally belonged to someone else. Or if they did, they didn’t mention the fact. There was already a move afoot on the part of elements in both the Democrat and Republican parties to draft Partman as their nominee for President in the next national elections.

  In the first official directive issued on behalf of the government of the new Northwest Republic, the Council of State—up until ten days ago the NVA Army Council—granted long-time Party activist and NVA veteran Carter Wingfield command of the new nation’s growing armed forces west of the Cascade mountains, then ordered him to dig Partman out of Portland and enforce the Treaty. The Council of State’s temporary chairman, Henry “Red” Morehouse, issued a brief public comment: “One hundred and fifty years or so ago there was another American military man out here in the Northwest who thought he would use a campaign against the natives as a springboard for the presidency. His name was Custer.”

  At about 7:10 a.m. that morning, across the river from Portland on the Vancouver, Washington side, Carter Wingfield stood on the hood of a Humvee with a pair of field glasses, studying the American positions over in Oregon, or what he could see of them from the edge of the Interstate 5 bridge. The occasional bullet whined lazily over from the American side, followed by a chatter of automatic weapons as the Northwest Defense Force troopers on the I-5 bridge responded and tried to bag the sniper wherever he was hiding in the rubble from last night’s artillery barrage. Wingfield ignored the potshots. The morning was cold and crisp and bright, for which Wingfield was thankful. The Pacific Northwest is a paradise on earth at any season whenever the sky is clear. At least those of his men who had to die today would do so in the sunshine of their own Homeland.
