About a week ago I posted Justin Smith’s erudite essay
called “Purging History”.
This submission should be considered a part two because the theme is the same
and it too is erudite.
One thing I am noticing in efforts to preserve Confederate
history that too many people are trying to stick up for White Culture. I
pray that all history needs to be preserved because it shows where we were, how
we got to now AND HOPEFULLY how we can make better choices for an American
future that not only is “In God We Trust,” but also is “E Pluribus
Unum” – Out of many, ONE.
When Americans begin contrasting White America, Black
America, Hispanic America, Native Americans and for that matter Protestant,
Catholic, Jewish, Irish, Italian, Nordic, et al American; then we are
falling for the Multiculturalist delusion over having ONE America out of many
past heritages. Just my opinion.

Leftist Cultural Cleansing Rooted in Hate
By Justin O. Smith
Sent 6/17/2017 4:10 PM
Constitutional conservative minded Americans must stop the
recently accelerated movement to remove Confederate Monuments, because it is a
tool used by the racists of the regressive Democratic Communist Party and the
Black Caucus to gain more power and destroy our Constitutional Republic. Their
campaign uses "white supremacy" as an excuse to attack the Western
and Judeo-Christian principles that built America; and in their zeal to create
a sanitized fantasy world, where nothing bad ever happened in America's
history, they are destroying both American and Black history and eliminating
anyone, and anything, that they deem to be "racist", from the public
square and the annals of history.
States like Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee
already have laws protecting their historical monuments, while the monuments
along Richmond's Monument Avenue rest in a protected historical park. Alabama
recently extended such protection to its monuments on May 24th 2017 through the
Alabama Monument Preservation Act.
Now Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh and former
mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who allowed Baltimore to be torn
apart by riots, are leading the movement to remove the Roger B. Taney Monument,
on Mt. Vernon Place, and the Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall"
Jackson Monuments in the Wymann Park Dell. The approximate $600,000 price-tag
is the only thing that has stopped them so far, but they are considering
auctioning them off.
In St. Louis, Mayor Lyda Krewson and city treasurer Tishuara
Jones are leading the charge to remove a 32 feet tall
monument in Forest Park, dedicated in 1914, that depicts a
Confederate soldier leaving his family for the Civil War. An angel hovers above
them, and the inscription reads, "in memory of the soldiers and sailors of
the Confederate States By the United Daughters of the Confederacy of St. Louis".
Those people willing to eradicate the Confederacy from
America's consciousness seem to forget many things. They forget that Jefferson Davis, although an advocate for slavery, was a
hero of the Mexican-American War, a former U.S. Senator and Secretary of War
for the United States. They forget that many Confederate Veterans fought with
distinction in the Spanish-American War and they are American Veterans, who
received pensions and benefits by an act of Congress.
As Senator Gerald Allen of Alabama recently noted: "...
history itself ... it may be good, bad, or ugly -- you can't whitewash it ...
When you start removing monuments and statues ... in a sense you lose
history."
By and large, most Southerners really do wish to simply
preserve the history of these Confederate heroes and their Southern heritage.
They have long set aside their racial prejudice, on the whole, even if it was a
struggle getting there.
However, America could destroy every Confederate monument
and that would still not satisfy the Left, especially the Black Caucus and some
black and Hispanic communities across America. They would continue this
cultural cleansing aimed at white society. Behind their remorseless drive
against white culture is an egalitarian extremism rooted in hate and envy.
Democrat Rep. Reginald of Arizona fumes
over "six (Confederate) monuments ... using tax payer dollars
to actually prop up ... terrorism of its day". He has yet to denounce the
radicals and the Leftist terrorism that is surging and becoming increasingly
more violent.
Last month, hundreds of illegal aliens tried to ban U.S.
citizens from a city council meeting in Cudahy, CA. Shouts of "white
supremacists back to Europe" were fired across the halls and outside. [Blog

& Canada Free Press]
In an August 2012 New Black Panther Broadcast, Samir Shabazz said,
"You're going to have to kill some of these babies, just born three
seconds ago ... go into the God damn nursery ... and just kill everything white
in sight ...". His hate-filled rant called for bombing white churches and
"[burning] up some cracker white supremacy", if blacks wanted to be
free.
In January 2017, a Black Lives Matter activist in Seattle, a
preschool teacher, calling for reparations and the confiscation of white
property, said, "We need to start killing people ... F**k white supremacy,
f**k the U.S. empire". [Blog Editor: See Occidental Dissent &
Blue Lives Matter] And
then on Flag Day, we were horrified to witness a Bernie Sanders Leftist gun down
Representative Steve Scalise (R) and Matt Mitka, both in critical
condition at this writing, along with Capitol Police Officer Crystal Griner.
I wonder if these Leftist and Democrats have forgotten that free black men owned slaves prior to the
Civil War too?
Some free black men owned family members to protect them,
but there were plenty like William Ellis***, one of South Carolina's largest
land owners, who were in the slave breeding business for profit. Ellis even
sold one of his own daughters into slavery.
***[Blog Editor: The name “William Ellis” mentioned here
is an irony of similarities. By context of Justin’s paragraph I am certain
Justin actually has William Ellison in mind,
a Black man born to slavery that learned enterprising skills enabling him to
buy his freedom and become a wealthy South Carolina slave owner. The irony is
there is also a former slave from Texas that gained his freedom named William Ellis. After freedom,
he moved to Mexico and changed his name to Guillermo Enrique Eliseo. The
English version of his Hispanic name is William Henry Ellis. Eliseo became a
Mexican millionaire.]
There were approximately 488,000 free black men in America
-- ten percent of the black population -- according to federal census reports
from June 1st 1860, and of these free black men, there were approximately
262,000 living in the South, with 10,700 or so living in New Orleans. And, according to Duke University Professor John
Franklin, over three thousand free black men in New Orleans owned
slaves, or about twenty-eight percent of freed blacks in New Orleans.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Fox News on
May 8th 2017: "I am a firm believer in 'keep your
history before you' ... Confederate heroes should be viewed in the
context of their time instead of through the prism of modern values.
Where does this end? Are we now expected to dynamite half of
Mount Rushmore out of existence and topple the Washington Monument? Are we
expected to rename Washington, D.C and other cities across America like
Jefferson City, Missouri? The Left and the Democratic Party would tell us that
"Yes, we expect you to do deconstruct America".
The dead stones of the Confederate monuments honoring noble
men on the wrong side of history are cut from the virtues of their day and
harmless, even if some say they symbolize the evil done by the real monsters
from the Confederate and Jim Crow eras. Those monsters are a long time dead,
long passed. The monsters of the regressive Democratic Party, those Communists
[HERE & HERE], Black Lives Matter [HERE & HERE], the New Black Panther Party and LA RAZA
[HERE & HERE] are here today, in the
here and now, with us.
Some of these Leftists and Democrats are just as evil, if
not more so, as the most evil slave traders in American history. They claim to
be fighting against "white supremacy" and the racism it perpetrated,
but in return, they offer black and brown supremacy, intolerance, racism and
hate directed at white people in general. They embrace an anti-American
ideology that leads to the abuses and slavery that they claim to despise -- the
"re-education camps" and the gulags -- as they attempt to foist their
fractured fairy tales upon all America. They are the very monsters they claim
to fight.
The Long Road to Freedom is being deconstructed. The Road
to Civil War is being paved. [Bold Text by Editor]
