Ruins of the Golden Circle: ‘Beast’ to patrol crime-ridden Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia is often held up by the US media as the model of the ‘New South‘ and capital of the ‘Sunbelt.’ However, all is not well in this once-Southern city which has been heavily re-populated with non-Southerners. Atlanta, as well as the rest of the post-plantation region known as the ‘Golden Circle‘ by many in the nineteenth century, is experiencing many of the same challenges as other cities within the region. One of those challenges is a major crime problem that arises from what are essentially Third World areas of the metropolises. This is a challenge that largely stems from the imposition of equality and democracy upon the region, an imposition which led to the total collapse of civilisation in some parts of the region (such as St Domingue, now known as Haiti). In other places such as South Carolina the collapse of civilisation was prevented only by a revolution which restored order and civility. However, even in places such as Dixie and Brazil where civilisation was not lost, chaos and poverty resulted from the egalitarian experiment in the formerly wealthy and ordered agrarian regions. Recently, we have reported on the killing wave in Brazil and how the Brazilian government has had to launch a major military/police operation with tanks and helicopters to re-take the vast Third World slums from heavily armed criminal gangs. Atlanta is not that bad yet. Indeed, there are very nice parts of the city, much as there are in the Brazilian cities that are ringed by slums. Crime and violence, however, are a major problem and Atlanta has a reputation for this (it is the eighth most dangerous city in the USA). It is now being reported that police departments in the Atlanta area are using the Lenco Bearcat, an armoured personnel carrier, in the fight against a crime wave that includes home invasions and burglaries. These vehicles cost about a quarter of a million dollars or more each and, as reported in the WND news article, they are sold to police departments across the United States – often with Federal funding assistance. The company that produces them is based in Massachusetts. This means that Southerners are taxed in order to enrich a New England business and to put armoured personnel carriers in Southern cities that have been devastated by the imposition of the Northern political and social agenda. This is what is referred to as ‘progress’ and is, of course, just one of the many benefits that Southerners receive for living under the United States Federal Government.
