People Arrested for Vandalizing Confederate Statue All Have This One Shocking Thing in Common BY BENNY JOHNSON 5 DAYS AGO durham There have been four arrests in the wake of the vandalism of a Confederate statue Monday night in Durham, North Carolina. Takiyah Fatima Thompson, Dante Emmanuel Strobino, Ngoc Loan Tran and Peter Hull Gilbert have all been arrested in relation to the unlawful tearing down of the prominent Durham statue. Screenshot/WRAL-TV Screenshot/WRAL-TV According to local media, the four could be in for big fines if found guilty: All three are charged with disorderly conduct by injury to a statue and damage to real property, which are both misdemeanors, and participation in a riot with property damage in excess of $1,500 and inciting others to riot where property damage exceeds $1,500, which are both felonies. However, those arrested have something other than potential big fines in common. It turns out that at least three of them are members of the Communist Party. This seldom-reported fact is inconvenient to the narrative that the protest were spontaneous. The protests were in fact organized in large part by the communist Workers World Party, which the arrested members belong to. According to ABC News, Workers World Party is fighting to bring about a socialist America (emphasis added): It's a communist party that was founded in 1959 by a group led by Sam Marcy of the Socialist Workers Party. The group supports myriad issues including anti-racism to anti-imperialist struggles. The party is active in the Black Lives Matter movement and supports the struggles of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. The group says they're “dedicated to organizing and fighting for a socialist revolution in the United States and around the world.”The group said it destroyed the statue hoping to “take down white supremacy.” On Facebook, the communist group has called for the abolition of police and prisons: Screenshot/WRAL-TV The group also proudly supports socialist Venezuela and communist North Korea dictatorships: They also posted this at the time of anti-American dictator Fidel Castro's death: “Long live the Cuban Revolution! Socialism or death!”: Along with this quote comparing America to Hitler: “We have never aspired to having custody of the banners and principles which the revolutionary movement has defended throughout its heroic and inspiring history. However, if fate were to decree that, one day, we would be among the last defenders of socialism in a world in which US imperialism had realized Hitler’s dreams of world domination, we would defend this bulwark to the last drop of our blood.” - December 7, 1989 Leaders of the Workers World Party have also met with Syrian dictator and war criminal Bashir al-Assad: The Workers World Party posted this cartoon of Israeli leader Ariel Sharon descending into hell upon his death: The group proudly supports cop killers such as Assata Shakur: The Workers World Party lionizes Soviet leaders who were responsible for mass genocide: The Workers World Party has been vocally supporting its arrested members: FACT: The “protesters” who pulled down the Confederate statue belong to a group that hates America and loves genocidal communist dictators. Good luck getting any of this information in the evening news. http://ijr.com/the-declaration...ocking-thing-common/ _________________________ | |||

Sam Malone (local radio host on 1070AM here in Houston) discussed this on his show yesterday, I believe...might have been Friday. I was a mere lad, but I remember the days that if one were Communist, they were pretty much run out on a rail. Now a Communist is lauded with praises mostly (if not all) from the radical liberals. I'll bet McCarthy is just ROLLING over in his grave..... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Animals do not care whether it is Christopher Columbus or not. They likely don't even know who that is, and have no interest in knowing who it is. It is all about the "me too" social media interaction, and following what they are told by the organizers. Most are proudly ignorant. Let's face it, if they weren't they wouldn't be clamoring on about racism in 2017. BLM and other groups have managed to act dumber than the Klan does, and is twice as proud of their own accomplishments of burning and looting their own neighbors. | |||

This is a pic I took of the courthouse in Ellisville, Jones County, Mississippi; my home town. The statute of an anonymous Confederate soldier, facing north, was erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the early 1900's. This memorial is typical of southern courthouses. My grandfather fought in the Confederate army and I see this statue and other similar statues as a memorial to his service and his memory. In Pensacola, there is a bronze bust of Martin Luther King displayed in a prominent downtown location that I pass by often. It does not bother me, as I know it means a lot to many Pensacola citizens. But the Confederate soldier statue in Pensacola means a lot to me: the mayor wants it removed. Sigh. | |||

With all the problems we face a statue shouldn't be one of them. _________________________ | |||

Meanwhile, over here in UK, the Guardian has published an article suggesting the toppling of the statue of Admiral Lord Nelson, because he had black 'slave' sailors on board his ships. https://www.theguardian.com/co...ould-be-next-slavery Apart from the fact that that assertion is total bollocks, the writer is not even English, let alone British. She is, in fact, Norwegian...so I sent an email to the Guardian, suggesting that she f*cked off back to Norwegia. Seems that it offended their sensibilities [the Guardian has sensibilities? Who knew?] and it was not published. tac | |||

I think we should level the Pyramids, after all, they are symbols of royalty, which always oppress the masses. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

It would seem this insanity of hatred is not limited to the US. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

Rush had an opening monologue two Fridays ago that was spot on. This is all part of a progressive plan to label the Founders racists as a means of eliminating the Constitution. | |||

Many would say nonsense. I happen to believe you may well be correct. Rule of force/rule by dictate supersedes rule of law. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

I am not the author of this fine statement. I do have to share it because it pretty much says what most of us as veterans feel about our countries monuments no matter where they are. The man/soldier who wrote this is a Vietnam veteran.... Regarding Southern Statues I went to the dedication of the Vietnam Memorial. I have attended regimental reunions of Vietnam Veterans and dedications to our dead. My reflections are based on my experience. I’m of the opinion that neither side of this discussion is even close to the truth of the matter. The noisy pundits, slick politicians, babblers on the left and right have no clue. Most of the statues are not defiant symbols of rebellion and slavery. Nor are they symbols of southern heritage per se. Similar statues are found in the North. Most of the statues, in both the North and South, are of a solitary soldier standing in a town square. Most are simple with none of the elaborate iconography of victory or of some “great leader”. About 20 years or so after a war, veterans begin to reminisce, to gather, share old stories about what happened, what was endured. The stories are of friends, the jokesters, the loud and the quiet guys, tragic and dramatic incidents, bravery, cowardice, and fears overcome. The medic who ran to save a life, the comrade who gave a life. The near miss. Memories of meals, canteens, and beers shared, the tin cup of coffee at dawn before breaking camp. Leaders who were admired and those despised. These things are represented within these statues. Veterans come together to remember and leave evidence of those lost in battle. The memorials simply honor the dead and give those left behind a chance to heal by focusing on something tangible. They are memorials to those who marched away, shared hardship, endured battle, and died. The grandiose themes of profound concepts being argued at high levels are not found in these simple sculptures. They belong to the veterans who placed them. They span all eras. When at any war memorial, personal memories return. The shrill cry to tear them down negates their purpose and will reopen the wounds they were intended to heal. These are not political wounds. These are the personal ones. Once they are gone, so goes solace past, present, and future. Once gone, the prospect for healing will be gone forever. Then what? If you have never had that tin cup of coffee at dawn, you will not fully understand what I have written. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

Bad dog! |
The statues are just the start. What is farther down the road is tipped off by this BLM organizer in Louisville who says that whites need to give up their homes to blacks and browns. On the Zimbabwe model, no doubt. I hope that all of BLM takes up this demand and rallies for it all over the country. Truly. Please let it happen.... http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...people-give-up-home/ ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

So all the guilty white liberals jump onboard with this idea and will their property to "a generationally impoverished brown family".

The "LeoWeekly", which is where this BLM Columnist wrote, is owned by the son of the Socialist Democrat John Yarmuth, who is the current Congressman from the 3rd District of Kentucky. Only the libs read the "Leo", everyone else ignores it. Louisville Metro has been ruled by the Dems for the past 50 years, and the next mayoral election in 2018. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

^^^ This has always been about transferring wealth from those who worked to build it to those who want to have it handed over to them. They don't want to destroy Western and American civilization as much as to supplant those who rule it and take it over intact as the new owners. It was clear that communist front organizations are behind this, both antifa and blm. Look at the orgs that attended this monument attack....World Workers, People's this and that. Make no mistake, hard core commhnist agitators are behind this movement. Supported by Big Dem, the goal being to unify the shatterred Dem party around "anti-racism," while fracturing the Republicans by forcing moderates to distance themselves from racist hate groups. Brilliant, it worked well, because the media is on their side. The left is unified again. The debate over whether they should return to being champion of the working class is over. Of course, they continue to alienate the American people....but the task of first uniting the left is accomplished. | |||
