Robert E. Lee Memorial in Brooklyn to Be Taken Down
New York Post ^ | August 15, 20 | Chris Perez

Posted on 08/15/2017 11:51:27 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The South isn’t the only place where Confederate monuments still exist.

New Yorkers need only look to Brooklyn — where a plaque honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee has been affixed to a maple tree outside a church for more than 100 years.

It won’t remain there for long, though.

This is moving toward the point of no return

Way past that point. What you have described is the new left. I understand why you are reticent about calling it Stalinist instead of Fascist. But as we all know, those were both leftist movements. They both fit the definition which is man's subservience to the state. The were mainly superficial differences between the two. When the communists fought the fascists in Germany in 1930 those were two leftists movements battling for power.

Our leftism has many facets. One is corporatism. Getting rid of Soros won't help much because the Chamber of Commerce is a bigger problem. The insurance companies are all in on Obamacare. Why? Because they all want to offer an elaborate expensive product that the government mandates. We have corporation run prisons. Sure they save money and reduce the government. But they exert pressure to stay full. But how do we get law and order without prisons? Stop illegal immigration, stop promoting single mothers, stop the breakdown of religion and family. Trump is keenly aware of those problems.

Another facet of our leftism is antihuman groupthink. Chris Plante, local but now syndicated talk show host always says "the left doesn't care what you do, as long as it is mandatory". What he really means is the left doesn't care what you think, as long as it is mandatory.

As a prominent example, we are required to worship homosexuality. Not just tolerate the occasional gay guy who has been around forever at the edges of society. But regularize the deviancy of abnormal "sexual intercourse". Of course it is not that at all, just a form of mutual abuse. It is antihuman. But it helps the left immensely to take over and gain power.

One goal of the groupthink is the demonization of their enemies like Bannon, Gorka, etc along with Trump. It wouldn't matter in the least if Bannon was a homosexual Jew. He is an enemy. It doesn't matter that Trump's daughter and son-in-law are Jews. They are enemies of the left.

I'm not sure our extermination is their goal. I think it is just a tool. We have to be exterminated if we are in the way. But if we surrender, give up our weapons, and promise to be good dhimmis we might not be exterminated. I guess it depends on whether you see the left as more dangerous than Islam. Sure Islam has growing pains. When they move into an area they kill lots of people very gruesomely. But once they consolidate power, like the Saudis, society is repressed but stable.

Chris Plante also points out that the left has killed far more humans than anyone else. Far more than the Nazis, far more than the Islamists. The question is once the fascists, Islamists or leftists take power how do they maintain power? It's simple for all three, they kill people. Corporate fascists don't need to kill as many because people can adapt to their repression and live in relative prosperity. Islamists can generally cut down on their killing once they have consolidated power.

But the left doesn't have a stable economic model. Corporate communism (Chicomm style) will eventually implode. The decisions by the Central Committee will always be vastly inferior and undermine the economy. The Chinese made up for that with mercantilism, but that only gets them closer to the bottom in a race to the bottom in wages, environment, etc.

An example from the West is Sweden. Sweden can't sustain their leftism. They have a nice standard of living and women have stopped reproducing. As a result of cultural leftism they just imported a million Muslims. The official number (from the government) is 140,000 Muslims, but they just added 150,000 in one year alone. A better estimate is 10 times that. In a few decades they will be "peaceful" Islamic dictatorship or a violent leftist gulag or a combination of the two.

We talk about the thought of CWII coming on but CWI is not yet over. The South and everything about the South is even now being destroyed. It is being removed from the American Soviet Encyclopedia. The Left is not different from Communists and Moslems. Nothing may remain of history that does not glorify themselves.

What we talk about but aren't really noticing as something that is real is that it is all being expunged from our current communications and records at the same time. We have put almost all of our communications on the Cloud, on the internet, and we , along with General Lee, are being flushed out of these channels, too. We seem to be winning at some level with Trump but in the background we are disappearing.

I think the most important objective now in this fight is to break the Left's control of communications and education. Break up the Internet companies. They function as monopolies and are freezing all competition and nonconforming thought out of transmission. How long before your cellphone gets censored for "inappropriate" conversation and imagery? By "private parties" no less. We are getting closer to the point where we can communicate with each other but cannot get information and discussion out to people who are not already part of our own "in crowd." Every day we hear of another well known personality being shut off from access to Youtube or Facebook. Trump's own speech is being bit by bit hemmed in.

I’ve seen the ads on Craigslist paying people to protest. Think how over the top they are and for what? Its all BS protests financed by Soros solely to damage the US and now it looks like the guy is trying to start a war.

Soros is worth x or xx billions of dollars. He actually owns that much assets but the reality is that he controls perhaps a trillion or maybe two trillion dollars of assets, assets that are moved and used at his direction. He is arguably the most powerful man in the world, certainly more powerful than many governments. He has a weak point that our government will not use. He can be arrested and extradited to a country that has warrants out for him and there are several. Why cannot we do this? Does he own or control a a critical portion of even the Trump administration? the DoJ?

“Soros is worth x or xx billions of dollars.”

After all he’s done, why does he continue to walk the earth a free man? His sons, too.

I’ll bet no more than 50 Americans even knew there was a plaque honoring Robert E. Lee in Brooklyn until this story about its removal was posted. LOL.

One good thing is this has been brought to light to the average American in fly over country. I bet most didn’t even know this was a movement going on around the country by the left due to their lives being busy and the media basically ignoring it.

Now this has been highlighted by what happened in Virginia and by POTUS, I think ANTIFA will have a big rude awakening.

Rasmussen already conducted polling showing majority of voters are against removing of historical monuments or statues.

“I will add, we either confront this or we are in serious trouble as a nation.”

There is only one way to confront it. Everyone knows what it is, no one will openly say it. It’s unfortunate our great country has been overrun by the European left. What they are doing here is no different than what they did in Europe when Reagan was in office.

Their leadership needs to be arrested and sent to Gitmo. These people are anarchists using semantics to appear to be something they are not. It’s just like calling a liberal a liberal and they deny it, saying they are progressives.

“I agree that he is, and if you think about it, he’s openly financing riots, sedition, racial strife, and treason.

You’re right. He needs to be prosecuted.”

Its amazing the castrated media runs around screaming “Russia, Russia”; desperately trying to find some small snippet to tar Trump with.
And then on the other hand Soros operates openly for years pumping huge amounts of money into the radical left. WITH NO oversight or questions.

Truly amazing this happens.

It was a war fought to centralize power in DC. Power is all it ever was.

Every once in a while a poster will just sit down, write something and smash it right out of the park.

You just did that. Thank you.

This has to stop but with the media and the libs constantly shouting / yelling / bullying and the pc culture, I don’t know how. I’m thinking home schooling is looking better and better for my grandchildren.
