― George Orwell, 1984
The Civil War monuments are a tribute to American’s ability
to come together after a brutal civil war that pitted brother against brother, and
forge peace through respect and understanding.
In other countries when there are civil wars, there are usually two
factions and the winning faction enslaves or kills the losing faction. But not in America, after that brutal Civil War
the Generals were able to show respect for their counterparts. Both sides had seen kids killed, brothers who
killed brothers, families torn apart and a generation of Americans wiped out.
They understood that the only way our country could be
healed was to forge a respectful, inclusive country for all Americans, from the
North and the South. I can’t help but
wonder what those Generals would say to each other if they were to hear the
hatred today. If you start from a point of hatred what is your end goal? Will you tear down each other’s monuments
until there are no monuments, no heritage?
Should we forget the lesson we learned from the civil
war? We learned after we fought against
each other, “in the end we are one and we will defend ourselves as a country
when threatened by anyone.” Almost all
Americans have ancestors who fought in the Civil War and not necessarily on the
same side. Do we canvass our
neighborhoods to find out which side we are on?
That is what this is really about, dividing the American people
like they were divided during the Civil War.
I heard one person question “what kind of country allows monuments to
the losing side?" America that is
what kind of country. Do we want to
re-fight the Civil War? From Patrick Buchanan:
Excerpt:
America's Second Civil War
“They had found a leader, Robert E.
Lee — and what a leader! … No military leader
since Napoleon has aroused such enthusiastic devotion among troops as did
Lee when he reviewed them on his horse Traveller.” So wrote Samuel Eliot Morison in his
magisterial “The Oxford History of the American People” in 1965.
First in his class at West Point, hero of the Mexican War, Lee was
the man to whom President Lincoln turned to lead his army. But when Virginia
seceded, Lee would not lift up his sword
against his own people, and chose to defend his home state rather than wage
war upon her…
Yet, on the militant left today, the name Lee evokes raw hatred and howls of
“racist and traitor.” A clamor has arisen to have all statues of him and
all Confederate soldiers and statesmen pulled down from their pedestals and put
in museums or tossed onto trash piles. What
has changed since 1965?
It is not history. There have been no great new discoveries about
Lee.
What has changed is America herself. She is not the same country. We
have passed through a great social, cultural and moral revolution that has left
us irretrievably divided on separate shores.
And the politicians are in panic.
Two years ago, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe called the giant statues of Lee and
“Stonewall” Jackson on Richmond’s Monument Avenue “parts of our heritage.”
After Charlottesville, New York-born-and-bred McAuliffe, entertaining higher
ambitions, went full scalawag, demanding
the statues be pulled down as “flashpoints for hatred, division, and violence.”
Who hates the statues, Terry? Who’s
going to cause the violence? Answer: The Democratic left whom Terry must now
appease…
In Durham, North Carolina, our Taliban smashed the statue of a
Confederate soldier. Near the entrance of Duke University Chapel, a statue
of Lee has been defaced, the nose broken off.
Wednesday at dawn, Baltimore carried out a cultural
cleansing by taking down statues of Lee and Maryland Chief Justice Roger Taney
who wrote the Dred Scott decision and opposed Lincoln’s suspension of the right
of habeas corpus.
Like ISIS, which smashed the storied ruins of Palmyra, and the al-Qaida
rebels who ravaged the fabled Saharan city of Timbuktu, the new barbarism has come to America. This
is going to become a blazing issue, not only between but within the parties.
For there are 10 Confederates in Statuary Hall in the Capitol,
among them Lee, Georgia’s Alexander Stephens, vice president to Jefferson
Davis, and Davis himself. The Black
Caucus wants them gone.
Mount Rushmore-sized carvings of Lee, Jackson and Davis are on Stone
Mountain, Georgia. Are they to be blasted off? There are countless universities, colleges
and high schools like Washington & Lee named for Confederate statesmen and
soldiers.
Across the Potomac from D.C. are Jefferson Davis Highway and Leesburg Pike
to Leesburg itself, 25 miles north. Are all highways, streets, towns and
counties named for Confederates to be renamed? What about Fort Bragg? On every Civil War battlefield, there are
monuments to the Southern fallen. Gettysburg has hundreds of memorials, statues
and markers...
“Where does this all end?”
President Trump asked.
America is in peril, there are dark, evil forces who are
barraging us with messages of hatred and division. Our politicians use the media to enforce
those messages of hatred and division. These
forces do not want Americans to come together; if Americans come together we will
not tolerate the economic slavery conditions levied against us by our
politicians. Our political elite class
and their puppet masters are heavily invested in the ignorance of the American
people. From Fabius Maximus:
Excerpt:
Widespread ignorance bordering on
idiocy is our new national goal…. The
ideal citizen of a politically corrupt state, such as the one we now have, is a
gullible dolt unable to tell truth from bullshit. An
educated, well-informed population, the kind that a functioning democracy
requires, would be difficult to lie to, and could not be led by the nose by
the various vested interests running amok in this country.
Most of our politicians and their political advisers and lobbyists would find
themselves unemployed, and so would the gasbags who pass themselves off as our
opinion makers… For starters,
there’s more money to be made from the ignorant than the enlightened, and
deceiving Americans is one of the few growing home industries we still have in
this country. A truly educated populace
would be bad, both for politicians and for business.
It took years of indifference and stupidity to make us as ignorant as
we are today…
If this lack of knowledge is the
result of the years of dumbing down of high school curriculum and of families
that don’t talk to their children about the past, there’s another more
pernicious kind of ignorance we confront today. It is the product of years of
ideological and political polarization and the
deliberate effort by the most fanatical and intolerant parties in that conflict
to manufacture more ignorance by lying
about many aspects of our history and even our recent past…
No doubt, the Internet and cable
television have allowed various political and corporate interests to spread
disinformation on a scale that was not possible before, but to have it believed
requires a badly educated population unaccustomed to verifying things they are
being told. Where else on earth would a president who rescued big banks from
bankruptcy with taxpayers’ money and allowed the rest of us to lose $12
trillion in investment, retirement, and home values be called a socialist?
In the past, if someone knew nothing and talked nonsense, no one paid
any attention to him. No more. Now such people are courted and flattered by
conservative politicians and ideologues as “Real Americans” defending their
country against big government and educated liberal elites.
The press interviews them and reports their opinions seriously
without pointing out the imbecility of what they believe. The hucksters, who
manipulate them for the powerful financial interests, know that they can be
made to believe anything, because, to
the ignorant and the bigoted, lies always sound better than truth:
“Stupidity is sometimes the
greatest of historical forces,” Sidney Hook said once. No doubt.
That excerpt was written in 2014, “and the deliberate effort by the most fanatical and intolerant parties
in that conflict to manufacture more ignorance by lying about many aspects of
our history and even our recent past” seems to be the template that is
being used to sell hatred and division today.
The dark forces of evil want to perpetuate ignorance because
if Americans were to realize that maybe the opposite side has a point and their
point isn’t so different from ours, maybe we are not the enemy. Maybe our government and the two parties are
the enemy of a free people. Dr. Carol
Swain wrote about the growing phenomena of White Nationalism back in 2002. She recently was a guest on Justice with Judge Janine Pirro. From Bizpac.review:
Excerpt:
Black professor gets the difference between whites who are tired
of being browbeaten and real racists
Liberals are blaming President Trump for the
rise of white nationalism, but a black professor says the movement
started mushrooming 15 years before Trump became president.
Attorney and political scientist
Dr. Carol Swain of Vanderbilt University predicted
the rise of white nationalism in her 2002 book, “The New White Nationalism
in America… Dr. Swain underscored that white nationalism is different from the
racist white supremacy movement, even though the left-wing media and
liberals purposely conflate the two.
“I distinguish it from white
supremacy because the people who were
involved [in the white nationalism movement] were more intellectual,” said
Swain, a graduate of Yale Law School. “They
were not espousing racial violence or using epithets, but they had grievances.
They felt that white people’s rights were being trampled on and no one was
speaking up or listening to their grievances…”
Swain said the white nationalism
movement took off — long before Trump took office — because whites were being marginalized and disenfranchised after
decades of affirmative action and other government programs designed to
benefit minorities.
Adding to the disgruntlement is the
constant browbeating by academia and the
media — which are 97% liberal — calling
ALL white people racist and claiming they have no right to complain about
anything because they have “white privilege.” Look around you: There are
plenty of poor, underprivileged whites…
This kind of anti-white rhetoric is being embraced by the left. Dr. Swain said she first started noticing the
growing white nationalism movement in 2000… “At the time, when [whites] were stressing
about the racial double standards, I saw the potential for the argument to
resonate among young people,” she recalled.
“The white community has its own problems. I knew the movement would grow unless we started addressing the
issues.”
Swain said we all collectively need to
tone down the racial identity politics and racist rhetoric and work together to
improve race relations. “We need honest conversations, dialogue
where people are listening to one another,” she said.
The last thing the politicians and the media want is for
everyone to “collectively tone down the racial identity politics and for the
people to work together to improve race relations.” No, they want to continue to stoke hatred and
blame President Trump. They want to
crucify Trump for his comments made after the violence in Charlottesville. The media and the two parties are enraged
that Trump had the audacity to refuse to take this opportunity the further
stoke the flames of hatred and division.
From LaRouche Pac:
Excerpt:
London, U.S. Media Back the Antifa for Race Riots
Aug. 18, 2017 (EIRNS)—British and American media too numerous
to count are backing and encouraging
demonstrations of violent American "antifa" groups against President
Trump, just three months after antifa rioters trashed sections of Hamburg
and wounded hundreds of police during the G20 meetings.
The British intelligence intention of forcing Trump out of the White House remains
constant since before his inauguration; but the "Russiagate" scheme
has taken some sharp blows, from LaRouche PAC’s mass mobilization around the
Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity report proving there was no
Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee.
The British intelligence/George Soros-run operations have returned
to the model of their "immigration" anti-Trump demonstrations of last
Winter, but now with far more violence.
In the Republican Party, "Blimps" (British Liberal imperialists)
have been coming out against the
President: Sen. Robert Corker said he was neither "stable" nor
"competent"; losing candidates Mitt Romney, Lindsay Graham and Marco
Rubio demanded he apologize for condemning antifa violence along with
"white supremacist" violence.
Among Democratic elected officials, hysteria again reigns, with Rep.
Steven Cohen of Tennessee putting up an impeachment resolution, one state
senator advocating Trump’s
assassination, losing Wisconsin candidate Russ Feingold agitating for mass
resignations from all government bodies, etc.
Mass "protests" this
Saturday in Washington, D.C. and Boston again involve violent antifa groups, against only a small "white
nationalist" countergang in Boston and only Confederate statues in
Washington.
President Trump’s warning of Aug.
16 is being confirmed, as monuments to
Abraham Lincoln have been defaced in Washington, D.C., and burned and
partly destroyed in Chicago. The Los Angeles Times on Aug. 15 ran "Who was
responsible for the violence in Charlottesville?
Here’s what witnesses say," quoting more than a dozen witnesses completely confirming the President’s
characterization of armed violence initiated by both sides, and more often
by the antifa groups. Even witnesses quoted from antifa groups confirmed their
own aggressive armed violence, along with that of the FBI-controlled "white supremacists..."
The Guardian printed a long political analysis, "The President of the United States is Now a Nazi
Sympathizer," by columnist Richard Wolffe… London bookies are quoting
up to 60% odds of Trump’s impeachment, indicating the bets Brits are making on
this…
Funny thing, I don’t believe the Guardian’s Richard Wolffe
criticized President Barack Obama as a “Nazi Sympathizer” when his
administration financially backed the Nazi’s violent demonstration in Maidan
Square, Ukraine when the elected president was driven out of office with a
death threat over his head. From RussiaToday:
Excerpt:
Far-right in US & Ukraine –
same problem, different approach among
politicians and media
While the recent surge in far-right
violence in the US bears a striking resemblance to the situation in post-Maidan
Ukraine, it gets strikingly different
coverage in the MSM and entirely different reactions from Western politicians.
The ‘Unite the Right’ rally, which
was held in Charlottesville, Virginia on Friday night and Saturday, attracted all sorts of far-right activists
protesting the city’s plans to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E.
Lee from a local park. The removal of
the monument was approved in April, but the process was stalled due to multiple
lawsuits.
Demonstrators at the march carried tiki torches, chanted Nazi
slogans, including “Sieg Heil” and “Blood and Soil,” gave Nazi salutes, and
carried various symbols associated with Nazi Germany, such as swastikas, black
suns, and runes…
The neo-Nazi torchlight processions which are frequently held in post-Maidan Ukraine, however, have received
vastly different coverage in the Western media – though more often than not,
they are completely ignored. Ukrainian
far-right activists hold marches each
year on January 1, marking the birthday of WWII-era Nazi collaborator Stepan
Bandera, who is hailed by many as a national hero.
A 2015 march, for example, received
some coverage in the western media, but the
neo-Nazi elements of the event were entirely watered down. The
far-right marchers in Ukraine were described in neutral terms: “nationalists”
who chanted “patriotic” slogans, and carried torches and “red and black
nationalist flags…”
Other neo-Nazi symbols in the Kiev
march also managed to elude mainstream media coverage. While
the article admits that Bandera “was the ideological patron of resistance
fighters who fought alongside invading German forces during World War II,” it also describes him as an “anti-Soviet
insurgent branded by Moscow as a Nazi collaborator…”
Interesting, are the world leaders demanding that Neo-Nazi
Bandera be condemned and Nazi marches in his honor be banned from the public
square in Kiev? From Veterans Today:
Excerpt:
All statues of Lenin pulled down across Ukraine
This destruction of historical monuments, regardless of whether
they are of Judeo-Zionist Bolshevik mass murderer Lenin or anyone else, should
be bitterly opposed as it is part of a
crass attempt to wipe the collective memory of a nation. The same thing has
already happened in Poland where over 2,000 Communist-era monuments have been
removed…
Of course, the Ukrainian government is not carrying out this destruction for
any reasons that benefit the people of Ukraine, rather, they are trying to strengthen the hatred of
Russia and all things Russian in the minds of the Ukrainian sheeple. Rather
than correctly identifying Lenin as a Judeo-Zionist and willing tool of the
banking elite, they are falsely
associating Lenin with Russia and using the images of Lenin as a convenient
proxy for Russia – destroy the hated Lenin, he was a Russian don’t you know?
No statues of the former Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin have been left
across Ukraine… “A total of 2,389
monuments have been pulled down, including 1,320 statues of Lenin. As far as we
know, there are no more (statues of)
Lenin in the cities – on the territory controlled by Ukraine…”
Interesting, in Ukraine where the U.S. installed Ukrainian
government is carrying out the destruction of monuments of Ukrainian heritage,
not for the benefit of the people of Ukraine, but rather to strengthen the
hatred of Russia. By falsely associating
Lenin with Russia, they bury the truth that Lenin was a Judeo-Zionist tool of
the banking elite, just like America’s politicians today.
Our government along with the media are incensed that the
American people elected Donald Trump, the antithesis of the globalists. It appears that the politicians and media
have decided to destroy President Trump by destroying America’s heritage. They must turn Confederate Generals and
soldiers into Nazi’s just like the US is falsely linking Lenin to Russia a ploy
to incite hatred and division.
Is this the new American heritage our politicians and media
are creating? No heritage, no past, no
future. The only heritage the media and politicians want to leave the American
people is the heritage of the present. A
future taken right from George Orwell.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten,
every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been
renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day
and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing
exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
