"Barbaric terrorist acts"
A tale of two historical vandalisms:

The United Nations Security Council on Friday condemned what it described as the latest "barbaric terrorist acts" in Iraq by Islamic State militants, including the destruction of priceless religious and cultural artifacts.

A video published by the ultra-radical Islamist militant group Islamic State on Thursday showed men attacking ancient Assyrian statues and sculptures, some of them identified as antiquities from the 7th century BC, with sledgehammers and drills, saying they were symbols of idolatry.

"The members of the Security Council strongly condemned the ongoing barbaric terrorist acts in Iraq by ISIL (Islamic State)" the council said in a statement. It also reiterated that the group "must be defeated and that the intolerance, violence, and hatred it espouses must be stamped out."

Meanwhile, in Louisiana:

"Today we continue the mission," Landrieu said in a statement on the Davis statue. "These monuments have stood not as historical or educational markers of our legacy and segregation, but in celebration of it."

Landrieu, the first white mayor of mostly black New Orleans since his father Moon held the job in the 1970s, called for removal of the monuments amid the lingering emotional aftermath of the 2015 massacre of nine black parishioners at a South Carolina church. The killer, Dylann Roof, was an avowed racist who brandished Confederate battle flags in photos. The slayings re-charged the debate over whether Confederate emblems represent racism or an honorable heritage.

Davis' statue was the second of four monuments to the Confederate era that the City Council, at Landrieu's behest, voted 6-1 to take down. After legal battles delayed the work, the first - a granite obelisk honoring whites who rebelled against a biracial Reconstruction government - came down late last month.

What, precisely, is the difference? There is no difference. It's just vandalizing history of which one does not approve.

You know a friend of mine brought up a good point.

How come noone has taken down the Pyramids of Egypt or alot of the old relics that were made from SLAVE LABOR ?

What about taking down monuments and infrastructure that was made my exploited labor, child labor, low wage workers?

Post: #153

Pyramids actually were not built by slaves.

I am not aware of any monuments or infrastructure which explicitly celebrate child labor or low wages the way this monument celebrated white supremecy, so I don't think this is a good point at all.

I should've been more specific in my question, there are mixed opinions if they pyramids were a government relief project or if slave labor did help.

But my point was, there's alot of shit we use and purchase that was created by people that were exploited in some way.

I think there's a difference between honoring dead soldiers versus a literal white supremacy statue.

Granted the Confederacy did lose.

"I think there's a difference between honoring dead soldiers versus a literal white supremacy statue"

I agree. But when a statue literally said white supremecy before that part was covered up the lines get blurry.

Post: #157

A couple of the pyramids' original layers were taken out and recycled for local use. Taking them completely apart though would have been a monumental task (pun intended).

I am not an expert on the history of the South, but there is little doubt that this eradication of their history is a symptom of broader social engineering year zero plans, and it also smacks of racial wedge politics.



The only statue of a Confederate leader in DC is that of Albert Pike, who was one of the most prominent masonic leaders in American history. I doubt that this monument will ever be removed...

Not really. It's understandable when after reading about the Reconstruction, the Union was so vindictive against the citizens in the South that they rioted against the occupation governments.

Gavin McInnes wrote an article this week in Takimag that brings that up and the larger point about hiding away our history so that people have no occasion to question what the Official Version is.

Interesting point. From another point of view, you could argue that the covering up/hiding all of these signs/monuments dedicated to and which explicitely said white supremecy has helped revisionists who claim that slavery was not one of the key factors of the war.

Personally, I would put the monument in a museum in its original state, white supremecy verbiage intact. Acknowledge the history, without celebrating it. I don't think its prior location was appropriate.

I think its location was absolutely none of my damn business as I don't live there. However, I agree with Gavin on this. Hiding it away in a museum isn't acknowledging it, it's avoiding it.

Heh - that theory is highly contested. Also slave economies mostly consist of slaves and I seriously doubt that the massive slave population was just standing around drinking lattes while the more well-off workers were sweating away in hard labor.

New Orleans removing the city's fourth and final monument, a statue of Robert E. Lee, today.

http://wgno.com/2017/05/18/city-robert-e...wn-friday/

"But but but they're only taking down that one statue! Claiming they'll take down all the statues is just a conspiracy theory!"



Look at how white supremacist this statue of a guy standing with his arms folded is.



They're also renaming the circle where the statue sits. Clearly "Lee Circle" is just way too racist.

Post: #164

This is just the beginning - they will move against George Washington, Ben Franklin and the rest of the founding fathers as well one day. SJW-inspired witch hunts know no bounds. If you give them a finger, then they take your head sooner or later and then demand the lives of your children and grandchildren.

Post: #165

I haven't kept up with this thread until now, but I've been following the battle for the monuments closely.

Sad day. I've had some great memories in Lee Circle.

My take on the history mirrors this excellent scorpion post from 2014, but this thread is not about the War of Northern Aggression.

This thread is about the 2nd Civil War, starting now, between the left and the right. First Trump Rallies, then Berkley, and now New Orleans.

This was not about Robert E. Lee, CSA, slavery, or BLM. This was a proxy war between the Globalists and Nationalists, and the W in New Orleans is a literal monumental victory for the Globalists.

The protestors don't care about oppression or violence. This was LARPing to make them feel good for losing to Trump.

It took Take 'em Down *years* to get this done. Can you imagine if they channeled that energy into improving the education system? New Orleans (and LA) are still behind national averages for all education metrics.

When the monuments come down, the murder/cap in NO will STILL be highest in the nation, yes above Chicago.

BLM will continue to run rampant in the streets until they get more free shit.

This is just the beginning. SJW's will never be satisfied.

Anyway here's a great highlight reel on the entire debacle, including clips from Gavin, Baked Alaska, J. Peterson, etc. This guy is an independent filmmaker who was at a ton of Trump rallies and does great work:

DIVIDING NEW ORLEANS: Mini Doc on Confederate Monument Take Down





Win or lose, people are waking up.

The guy from the mini doc above, who gets in the heated confrontation at 10:30, commented on the original video:

https://youtu.be/er8gepEpRdI

Quote:I'm the guy in the video.

IDGAF if you don't like it, you should've heard them talking about killing whitey moments before this.

That's what all this shit that went down in NOLA is about, exterminating Whites, exterminating Southerners.

My x3 great grandfather fought and bled for the Confederacy, he gave his all for the future of the Southern people and like my fathers before me I will carry on that legacy.

Whites, especially Southerners, are discriminated against, spat upon, mocked and told to willingly accept the drawn out genocide of our people and all that we hold dear.

Well if there were ever any doubt that the south was an occupied nation rather than a part of the USA then that doubt has officially been removed.

Letting the South know they're "occupied" is going to be a really bad idea, considering they have enough guns and manpower to make an insurgency in Iraq look like a bunch of teenagers with paintball guns.

That's why I can't figure out if the people orchestrating this are just too stupid to see the hornets nest they're poking, like they failed to foresee Trump's election, or that they're actually whacking the nest on purpose.

I wonder the same thing about the people trying to "impeach" Trump these days. If that were to happen, I don't think the average fake news reporter or slimey politician would like the part that came next.

I'm on the same page. It's hard to tell if this is some sort of desperation move or a deliberately precise cause/effect.

To my mind, though, triggering a civil war that might escalate into a racial war would not serve the purpose of the elites. From everything I've gathered they want a multiracial stew. A proverbial bucket of crabs from which no crab can escape because there is no singularity of purpose or team work. A civil war or race war is not going to achieve that unless they're absolutely certain the USMil is with them and also sure they're going to win.

The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to predict the future is.

Post: #169

^ The only thing I can think of is that they'd rather see the US spiral into civil war than lose their grip on the country, which would actually make sense for a variety of reasons.

The other option is that we're living the plot of Atlas Shrugged, where the corrupt bureaucrats run everything into the ground through some combination of incredible greed and unconscious neuroses

This is reading out of Chariman Mao's 'Cultural Revolution', it is becoming eerie. I suggest watching one of the old history documentaries on the subject. Similar slogans and thought processes are being used to carry out such acts.

Already said it. One of the thing the cultural marxist love is to erase the old history and rewrite it from scratch. Revisionism at its best.

After destroying their own states, the Northeast and West Coast parasites are moving into the Southeast, Southwest, Mountain West and re-implementing the same destructive policies. But but but, it will work this time. They promise.

Post: #173

So are these people trying to get rid of the past and pretend it never happened? Yeah, way to make history repeat itself.

Post: #174

Is there any truth to the comments around that the statues were sent to a scrap yard?

Post: #175

I am still amazed that the South of the US has even allowed this to happen. Not even 10 years ago or possibly 5 would you ever have seen this happen unless I am wrong? If you asked a citizen of one of those states what would happen they would have laughed at you.

And yet Texas turned purple and we have seen white washing of history because it upset some peoples feelings. I wonder what the reaction would be if you said Mandella was a racist and terrorist through and through.
