The United States Today Kind of Reminds Me of the Place That Had Kristallnacht and Book Burnings in the 1930s

JULY 7, 2020


**  Richmond removes statue of Confederate Matthew Maury, namesake for Naval Academy building.

**  Process underway to remove  Confederate monument in Roanoke. (Virginia   Robert E. Lee)

**  Lawmaker wants investigator to look into white extremism  and racial bias in the military.

**  Trump wrongly accuses NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace of noose "hoax,'  defends Confederate flag.  (Daily Beast)

*****************************

JULY 8, 2020

**   Army, Navy, Air Force secretaries recommend banning display of Confederate flag on military bases.

**  JMU to change  3 buildings named after Confederate soldiers.  (James Madison University in Virginia.  Ashby, Jackson and Maury halls.  Guess they'll also have to change the name of the school because of you-know-what.)

*****************************

JULY 9, 2020

**  Newport News' Lake Maury, named for Confederate officer, is now the Mariners' Lake.  (Virginia)

**  In Alabama, a city debates how to depict its past in the present.  (Mobile)

**  Letters:  Loyalty to the state first during the Civil War.

**  Watch Now:  Crews remove Confederate  statue from Libby Hill Park and bronze pieces from Jefferson Davis  monument.   (Richmond, Va.  Altogether, five statues, two plaques and two other bronze pieces have been removed  from monuments in Richmond since July 1.  As predicted, the mayor and governor's orgy of removal has begun.

This is similar to what happened in Germany in the 1930s with Kristallnacht and book burning.  Who says history doesn't repeat itself?  Go to You Tube and watch videos of these in Germany in the 1930s and you'll be amazed at the similarities between BLM and those people.  We're not saying who did this.)

The Second Civil War: Monuments, Statues and Memorials, the Washington Post, North Carolina, Fort Sanders and U.S. Capitol

JUNE 19, 2020

**  'History has a place':  Who should decide if Confederate monuments stand in Fort Mill?  (South Carolina.  Like I said many times, let the people vote on the statues.  Don't leave it up to governments or the judicial system.)

**  Parker County's Confederate  veterans statue could be moving soon.

**  Destroying Confederate monuments isn't 'erasing' history.  It's learning from it.  (I had to really laugh at this headline from the Washington Post.  Who'd have figured that newspaper would write something like that?  And, there was no "Kristallnacht or Book Burnings in Nazi Germany in the 1930s either.   That was "learning history.")

**  The Latest:  Protesters pull down Confederate monument in NC.  ("Protesters"?  Really.  They were rioters committing a hate crime and got away with it.)

**  Robert E. Lee mosaic in downtown Fort Myers painted over.  (Florida)

**  Blunt slows move to remove Confederate monuments.  (U.S. Capitol.  U.S. Senator Roy Blunt from Missouri.  What?  Sort of a win for us.  Since the BLM "protesters" and their white minions can't get at these statues to do their usual, this has got to be getting to them.  So sorry guys.  You'll have to wait.  But these statues will be coming down soon enough.)

**Vandals target Fort Sanders statue.  (Guess which side this statue was on.  I wonder if they'd be called "vandals" if they did this to a Martin Luther King, Jr. statue?)


**  As I See It:  Military bases should reflect  American principles  of liberty, justice for all.

Statues Toppled And Rioting Continues-- Part 4: And, a "CHOP" Zone and D.C.

June 21, 2020, Chicago Tribune  "Statues toppled across US in unrest" by Olga R. Rodriguez and Jeffrey Collins  (AP).

In Seattle, authorities were investigating what led to the shooting in the area known as CHOP, which stands for "Capitol Hill Occupied Protest" zone.  It has been harshly criticized by President Trump who has tweeted about the possibility of sending in the military to exert control.

How could any city allow such a thing to happen.  How could the police just stand by and let this happen.  Of, course, the police are just standing by watching the desecration of statues, so I guess this is to be expected.

******************************

In Washington, D.C., and Raleigh, N.C., it was another night of tearing down Confederate statues.  In the nation's capitol, demonstrators (rioters) toppled the 11-foot statue of Albert Pike, the only statue of a Confederate general in the city (well, other than Statuary Hall in the Capitol).

They then set a bonfire to it and stood around as the statue burned, chanting "No justice, no peace!" and "No racist police."

Again, what we have here is Nazi Kristallnacht and Nazi Book Burnings, 2020-style.

What Is Happening to Statues Across U.S. Is Reminiscent of of 1930s Nazi Germany: Book Burning and Kristallnacht

Has the United States slipped into a Neo-Nazi era led by BLM and Antifa?

Take a look at videos of  the Nazi  Kristallnacht and Nazi Book Burning on YouTube and the similarities are striking between the Nazis and the aforementioned groups.

Sadly, it is not just Confederate statues now, but all sorts of statues.  Where will it end?  How many presidents will have to be removed from Mt. Rushmore?  When will Washington, D.C. be renamed Douglass, D.C., or Tubman, D,C,?  When will the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial be either taken down or be renamed?  When will the National Anthem be changed to "I'm Black, I'm Proud?"  When will four of the five first president have to be written out of history books?

And, it goes on and on.

Maybe it is time for the government to put a stop to this anarchy and the Tyranny of the Blacks.  Let the police put a stop to the lawbreaking, which, by the way, is not vandalism but hate crimes.

So, Who's a Nazi.  So, Who's a Neo-Nazi.  --Old Secesh

Six Days to Virginia's Confederate Statue Orgy: Bringing Back Book Burning and Kristallnacht

Six more days until the party begins.  Believe it when I say what is going to happen is NOT a party for me, but a time of sadness and remorse that the United States has sunk to such a low point in its history.

I doubt that I'll watch all the coverage of people drinking, partying and laughing (and I'm sure it will receive a whole lot of media play).  I wonder how those people would feel if statues of people they admire and respect were treated like that?  What if they were having a funeral for a loved one or friend and people showed up doing what they will be doing this coming Wednesday?

The removal of those statues will be like that for me.

This has happened before in Nazi Germany in the 1930s when books were burned and then Kristallnacht.  You can go to YouTube and watch videos of both of these and see the many similarities between Nazi Germany and Virginia.

This will forever be a stain on Virginia and I don't think I'll ever be able to go to Virginia again, even with the numerous Civil War battlefields and all the colonial and Revolution history.  It will take a major forgiveness on my part.

And, I'd really like to go to the Mariner's Museum and see the USS Monitor turret and Bedford for the D-Day Memorial.  I am hoping saner minds prevail in Bedford in regards to its Confederate monument to honor its men who marched off to defend their homes.

So Sad, So Sad.  Who's a Neo-Nazi?  --Old Secesh
