  1. Catherine,
    This statue phenomena is yet another reflection of a profound lack of understanding of our history and what the “rebels” were trying to do in the Civil War (or the War of Northern Aggression), which can laid squarely at the feet of our educational system and our media. All of the economic and constitutional reasons are left out of the discussion. It’s another case of the victor writing the history and absolving themselves of any blame in the matter.
    It’s interesting that the first secessionists were not the Southern states; it was the New England states that first wanted to secede over the Louisiana Purchase.
    Furthermore, a statue like other pieces of art can be interpreted in many ways. If one ascribes only the notion that the statues represent slavery, one could interpret these statues as an important reminder of the evilness of slavery and to never repeat it again. But, so many people are ultra-sensitive, ultra-inotolerant, and quite immature that they can’t even see other points of view, some of which, could even further their own cause. Of course, there are others who want to take advantage of this situation to further their own interests and who have no problem fomenting more conflict.

      To institute slavery, it is best to wipe out all knowledge of historical slavery systems.

      I believe that the leadership wants to use digital systems and mind control to re-institute slavery. To do that, it helps to destroy all historical understanding of the African-American slave trade and the civil war – who profited and why.

      Pulling down all the confederate statues fits with the destruction and theft of all the antiquities in the Middle East. A people who do not know their history have no power.

  2. With politicians now moving to remove Confederate statues all across the nation, things could get very heated. This article states that there are 718 Confederate statues and monuments still remaining, and that there are 109 public schools named after Confederate Civil War heroes.

    I’d love to hear a discussion with Franklin Sanders about this, as he has solid knowledge about American History, and he’s a proud Southerner:

  3. Vaccine Manufacturers and FDA Regulators Used Statistical Gimmicks to Hide Risks of HPV Vaccines:

    “Based on the numerical outcomes of that study, the Mexican researchers calculated the likelihood of being actually ‘helped or harmed by the 9-valent HPV vaccine.’ Their ‘worrisome’ finding is that the ‘number needed to harm’ is just 140, whereas 1757 women would need to receive the vaccine for a single one of them to enjoy its projected benefits.”
