KHOU ^

Posted on 08/18/2017 8:58:24 AM PDT by TigerClaws

HOUSTON – Houston police say someone vandalized the Christopher Columbus statue in Bell Park overnight.

Police were called to the scene between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m. Friday at Bell Park in the 4800 block of Montrose.

It appeared someone dumped red paint on the statue.

According to a plaque, the Italian-American Organizations of Greater Houston donated the statue to the city in 1992.

Houston police have no suspects in this case.

Restoration crews are now hard at work to clean it up, a painstaking process.

They are not going to stop until they have destroyed all symbols of American achievement and greatness.

Western civilization itself is under attack.

“They are not going to stop until they have destroyed all symbols of American achievement and greatness. Western civilization itself is under attack.”

This is how you get rid of loyalty to one’s country, e.g. in preparation for the One World Government.

Once you breed contempt, it is hard to gain respect for community back.

Western civilization itself is under attack. These misfits and malcontents are not going
to stop until they have destroyed every symbol of American achievement and greatness.

Let's keep pounding it in. These actions derive from the political party of diversity and political correctness: the KKK, BLM, NBPP, REVCOM, CPUSA, LA RAZA, and jim crowe.

Antifa thugs are advocating the overthrow of the US govt and the assassination of a sitting US president.....

=========================================

Pres Trump should reinvigorate the time-honored "Divide and Conquer" strategy......he won't even need the fierce King's Regiment to put down this uprising (as the Brits did in Kenya).

REFERENCE: (hat tip wiki) The lefty agitation in Charlottesville, and destruction elsewhere, is reminiscent of "The Mau Mau Uprising," a military conflict that took place in British-Kenya between 1952 and 1960. It involved native-dominated groups (called Mau Mau), against white settlers and elements of the British Army.

The Mau Mau were easily defeated by the Brit's using the time-honored "divide and conquer" strategy..........gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy.

The D/C concept refers to a strategy that breaks up existing power structures.......particularly preventing smaller power groups from linking up, groups that are causing rivalries, groups fomenting discord among the citizenry.

The King's Regiment in Kenya, looking fierce, heavily
armed w/ African Rifles, on the lookout for the Mau Mau

The radical Left is like ISIS or the Taliban. Radical Islamists destroy all statues, icons, and books of those who they consider infidels (non-Muslims) or heretics (the wrong type of Muslim).

The PC Left won't rest until every symbol of those they deem infidels and heretics in America and Europe is destroyed. That essentially means obliterating all of western culture, which is their ultimate goal.

“no suspect”

It’s not a Trump supporter..likely not a Republican..I would venture to say it’s probably not a white person.
Am I getting warm?

D’Souza correctly nailed BHO’s worldview as ‘anti-colonialism.’

Landed him in jail!
