How Do You Tote a Confederate Flag? The Wildman Striketh Back

JUNE 16, 2022

**  Judge convicts man who carried Confederate flag in Capitol attack.  (Lots and lots of srticles about this. I think that really bothered some folks.  He was convicted of obstruction, entering a restricted building,  disorderly conduct and  unlawful parading.  I wonder if it would have been unlawful parading had he been carrying a BLM flag?

**  (He was quite often referred to as the Confederate flag-toting man.  I wonder how you tote a flag?  His son was also convicted.  He should never have been in the Capitol under those circumstances anyway so am glad he was convicted.)

**  Georgia councilman resigns after controversial  Confederate store reopens.  (Kennesaw, Georgia.  Wildmans's Civil War Surplus store reopens after his death.)

Will BLM Be Rioting in Kenosha Tonight? Nancy Gets Hers.

JANUARY 5, 2021

I was listening to a radio station this morning and heard that the City of Kenosha, Wisconsin,  is preparing for riots and that the state governor has called out some 500 National Guard soldiers for that possibility. The county is determining whether the officer who shot the black man should be tried.

Should the decision be to try him there will be no problem.

But, if the decision is not to try him, BLM and their white minions will be out there rioting, burning and looting.  It is what they do best.

Look at all the preparations that were made in major U.S. cities during the presidential election.  Had trump won, BLM would have been out there rioting, burning and looting.  That is what they do.

In my opinion, anyone who backs this group supports rioting, looting and burning.

Of course, it's winter in the Midwest right now.  Maybe they'll wait for nicer weather.

**  I just had to chuckle a bit when the U.S. House Speaker, a noted supporter of BLM had her house vandalized because of the relief paychecks.  Wonder who vandalized her home?  It was Confederate statues or paintings.

I Can't Keep Up With All This

I feel the United States has reached a real turning point in history right now.  Between the pandemic and all this racial unrest, as Bob Dylan said, "The Times They Are a Changing."

And I surely hope this change will be for the better.  Although at present we could even be headed for a racial war just as much as we might be headed for a better United States.  I guess only time will tell.

This is definitely going to be something for "the rewritten history books."  Students will be wondering who Union forces fought between 1861 and 1865.  They'll just know they fought someone whose name cannot be mentioned because of slavery and their racism.  And that these people were absolutely the worst people ever to live on earth.

And, this is not to say anything about what happened to so many of the earliest U.S. presidents.  Who were they and why are they not mentioned?  School children will still be going to Douglass, D.C., and taking tours up to the top of the Tubman Monument and King Memorial (old Jefferson Memorial).

Anyhow, I am attempting to keep up with all that is happening in this storm surge of revisionism, so this is why I won't be doing much in my other blogs as there is so much to write about here.  If the new Civil war ever stops, that will also be the end of this blog.  I sure enjoyed it in April when the virus had all the BLMers and before George Floyd was killed when I only had four blog entries the whole month.

Statues Toppled As Rioting Continues-- Part 5: Trump Gets Involved in Washighton, D.C.

The toppling of the Albert Pike statue in Washington, D.C., drew President Trump's ire.

He quickly tweeted about it, calling out D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and writing:  "The DC police are not doing their jobs as they watched a statue be ripped down and burn.  These people should be immediately arrested.  A disgrace to our Country."

Of course, this set off an immediate maelstrom with the Blacks and liberal press.

Myself, I have been wondering the same thing.  I was always of the opinion that if I went up to a public statue or memorial and did something to it I would be arrested by the police.  Since when do Blacks and their white minions have the right to do this without fear of arrest?

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
