The revolution devours all before it
Washington Examiner ^ | 27 Jan, 2021 | Byron York

Posted on 01/28/2021 8:06:37 AM PST by MtnClimber

THE REVOLUTION DEVOURS ALL BEFORE IT. The latest enactment of that old truth happened Tuesday night in, of all places, a Zoom meeting of the San Francisco School Board. In that meeting, members voted to strip the names of American historical figures -- George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and even California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein -- from schools in San Francisco.

What began in recent years as a call to remove the names of Confederate leaders from schools, roads, and military bases, and then to tear down Confederate statues, has now moved on to target all of American history.

The San Francisco Board created a School Names Advisory Committee in May 2018. Members passed a resolution committing the board to "changing the names of schools named for historical figures who engaged in the subjugation and enslavement of human beings; or who oppressed women, inhibiting societal progress; or whose actions led to genocide; or who otherwise significantly diminished the opportunities of those amongst us to the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

The last phrase, targeting anyone who had "diminished the opportunities" of anyone else, was a catch-all that would allow the School Board to go after virtually any name it chose. And indeed, on Tuesday night, the Board voted to change 44 school names.

Doesn't the left see that this is leftism/communism. Communism is slavery to the state, misery, genocide...

There Are No Guardrails On The Left

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3929301/posts

America is entering a terrible period in its history at an accelerating pace, now that the Left has taken control of all the critical reins of power in the government, the mainstream media, social media, and big tech. Unfortunately, history teaches with laser clarity that there are no guardrails restraining the behavior of the Left when it is so empowered.

“or who otherwise significantly diminished the opportunities of those amongst us to the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

That applies to Biden as well given his executive orders.

I read the post at your link yesterday. I highly recommend others read it (link at Matt's post #3). I agree with you that your "Outcome 3" is the most likely: 3. Economic implosion leading to a collapse of federal power, a breakdown in food and fuel distribution, leading to a civil war that will resemble Weimar Germany colliding with Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda at the same time. This new civil war, unprecedented in its horrors, might eventually lead to some type of pyrrhic conservative victory, but only on top of the ashes of the American constitutional republic, and at an enormous cost in lives lost and property destroyed.

A Mechanism to Erase Public Records

A memory hole is any mechanism for the deliberate alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts or other records, such as from a website or other archive, particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened. The concept was first popularized by George Orwell’s 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, where the Party’s Ministry of Truth systematically re-created all potentially embarrassing historical documents, in effect, re-writing all of history to match the often-changing state propaganda. These changes were complete and undetectable.

When they came for me........

Likely the school board would find only their own names fit their agenda.
