A Trump-appointed federal judge on Monday issued a temporary restraining order halting the removal of a Confederate memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.
The removal of the statue was underway on Monday before the judge issued the restraining order.
leave it there to remind the Democrats who were slave owners of their past. The Uniparty is bring back slavery globally by enslaving the whole world. Only a fool would support slavery. Now you know who all the fools are .
Just so you are aware, the entire Civil War to end slavery is a lie, like so many others that were taught in our schools. States in the south were preparing to end slavery peacefully through gradual emancipation when they were attacked by John Brown and Nat Turner. Without those two 'abolitionists,' slavery would have likely ended in the south without a shot. While the northern media propped both of them up, their own writings presented a different story of deranged madmen wanting to do things like make an independent country for blacks ... so they could be moved there from everywhere else in the United States.
The main causes were economic. The vast amount of federal revenue came from the rising tariffs on goods from overseas that the southern economy relied on. Their main markets for selling cotton were also overseas, so the south got hit both ways. The majority of money raised through the tariff war against England and the rest of Europe went to prop up northern industrial development and railways.
There were efforts in the south to industrialize, which would have allowed them to get away from slavery even more easily, but railroads placed additional fees on shipping manufactured goods out of the south to the north but placed no such fees on industrial goods going south or raw goods going north to northern factories. The south was going bankrupt and there's records of plantations having to even borrow money from their own slaves to keep in operation due to increasing costs.
The war only started because the Union baited the Confederacy to fire upon Fort Sumter, which was well within it's own borders, to prevent it from being reinforced by more hostile forces. As an additional note, while the more limited role of the Confederate government forbade it from making laws for individual states about what they do about slavery within their own borders under the doctrine of states rights, it could and did immediately outlaw the importation of slaves from overseas ... well before the Union ever did.
Also, the laws about slaves not being counted as a full human? I believe those originated in the north to prevent southern states gaining enough representation to have a say in where the tariff money went. The south wanted all blacks, slave and free, to be counted as full humans as a matter of their economic well being. Additionally, during the war, only the Confederacy had entire black regiments led by blacks. All black regiments fighting for the Union were led by whites.
In the north, you had slavery in the form of wage slaves, immigrants from countries like Ireland who were bated into contracts with absurd terms just to get to America, only to find it impossible to pay off their debt and had no choice but to work in northern factories for abysmal pay while living in ratty apartments that were sub-standard at best. Later, the promise was land for fighting in the war, despite treaties with Indian tribes and other issues.
in the end, it was all a ploy to put the post-war United States in a position where it was in so much debt that it could be taken over and the federal reserve system put in place.
It also gets really interesting when you look into who was funding which side.
Never discussed by anyone: The civil war was a proxy war between … and …
I couldn't help but compare it some to the plot Palpatine enacted in Star Wars ... Some significant differences that the Confederacy in Star Wars went on genocidal rampages vs the only acts of aggression on Union soil that the real Confederacy did was things like raiding the north to get ... boots. Seriously, they were that poor off economically.
“But they were all rich plantation owners who didn’t do anything but sit around all day in pretty dresses and suits sipping sarsaparilla and having their slaves do all their work for them.”
“Yes, if by ‘all’, you mean the same baby eaters who run all the corporations today.”
If anyone has a list of every known slave owner, and their lineages, I’d love to see it.
Due to the way population expands, it is almost impossible for anyone who was born here within the last few generations to not have at least some ancestry, including the black people of the country.
The only thing that would be interesting about lineages is applying it to everyone else the same way it is applied to normal whites.
That actually wouldn't yield much. You're struggling with the perception of things now being the way they always were. Slavery was a given and acceptable practice for most of history, up until around the time before the Civil War. A lineage of slave owners wouldn't get you much. For one thing, most slave owners treated their slaves well. There were some instances in Mississippi and Louisiana, and I'm sure other exceptions, but slaves being harshly treated was not the norm. Uncle Tom's Cabin, which was often held up as an example showing how slaves were treated portly was later shown to be entirely a work of fiction and not reflecting how things were.
Yes, slaves did still flee and try to get freedom, as many of us would in their shoes, but they were often working on a system that encouraged work through rewards. Picture a system where they were given a base quota but were rewarded for going over it. Rewards could be in the form of passes to town or even money. It was with these that some slaves, like Eli Whitney (the inventor of the cotton gin) bought his own freedom. Slaves often worked alongside the children of their owners in the fields and in some cases even ate with the entire family. This was especially the case for those who owned a few slaves. It didn't make any sense to try to segregate the slaves from the family so they became highly trusted in some cases and were treated like one of the family. Some slaves even rose to positions where they helped manage the plantations they worked on.
The money rewards are also how slaves could turn out to be money lenders to their own owners when finances got tight due to the tariffs. As a note, there were black slave owners as well as white. Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin with the goal of making things easier for slaves. His workforce solution was to purchase slaves of his own, train them, and send them about the south making cotton gins for plantations and farmers.
As for the slave owners, they ran a business, especially in the case of the big plantations. They had to oversee the finances, budgets, see that all the slaves had either clothing or means to make clothes, that enough food was purchased to feed everyone, that the slaves had suitable clothing and shelter to protect them from the elements so they wouldn't get sick, oversee the work being done to rate performance of laborers in determining rewards whether they had the aid of dedicated overseers or not, arrange for things to be brought to market and negotiate prices, purchase seed for crops, pay wages to non-slave laborers, and more. It was hardly sitting back and enjoying a life of luxury without any concerns.
As a further example of how things were, when a plantation owner's son went to war, it wasn't unheard of for him to be accompanied by a fully armed slave and the two would fight side by side.
Now, if you want to find people whose families are connected to the cabal ... I suggest looking into the northern industrialists and banking families of Europe. The factory owners and railroad owners were the ones who benefited from the situation while the majority of the south was going broke. I am sure you'd find some family names that are still relevant even today.
Given all I've learned about the situation, the south mostly wanted to get rid of slavery but lacked the means to industrialize properly which would have made it easier to shift to an entirely free workforce made up of paid laborers. In the social structure, slaves weren't even at the bottom rung. According to the writing of some slaves (yes, it wasn't uncommon for slaves to be educated to broaden the range of work they could do), they even looked down upon poor whites, or white trash as we could call them today. During the course of the war, many plantations were raided or burned to the ground by General Sherman and others. It became a bit of a sick game where slaves would try to help hide any riches that a plantation had and mislead the Union soldiers in the hopes that their plantation wouldn't be pillaged entirely.
The overall summary is the the south was justified in their grievances of taxation (through tariffs) without enough representation to have a say in where the money went. Further conflict was seeded by propaganda in northern papers (and perhaps also southern) that served to divide and stir up conflict between different groups. Radical instigators were also used (on both sides of the political divide, I'm sure) to make it that much more difficult to resolve the situation peacefully. I expect Bloody Kansas would be a good example of that if it could be investigated deeply enough.
Overall, if you examine the history on its own merit, you'll recognize that the same playbook was used to divide the United States and usher it into a costly civil war that the cabal has used throughout the world. They just happened to have the additional propaganda weapon in slavery as the perception whether it was acceptable or not was changing.
That in context, the southerners who were fighting for the freedom and independence of their own country were every bit the patriots the founding fathers were. On the flip side, you had honest and patriotic people fighting against them under the belief that they were fighting to preserve their country. So yes, there are heroes on both sides in the context of history and the true heroes should be remembered and even celebrated for their acts of valor and what they truly fought for. The hard fact to internalize is that, in the end, due to the machinations of globalist bankers (the cabal and their minions), both sides lost.
Oh I’m familiar with those points. Doesn’t mean I don’t want the data. The “told you so” capability in it would be fantastic and hilarious, however ineffective.
Go read up on “Song of the South”.
Modern hand wringers find it offensive because it depicted the slaves as being “unrealistically happy”, and “therefore offensive”.
It is to lul.
“You imbeciles. We are slaves NOW. Are you ever happy or are you always miserable?”
“Hurr durr but we are talking about chattel style slavery.”
“‘Chattel’ and ‘cattle’ derive from the same word. So does ‘vac(a)-cinate’, which literally means ‘pertaining to cattle’.”
“You’re reading too much into words.”
“No, you’re too blind to see truth.”
As much as I really want to deal with people in love, their stupidity and insistence on remaining blind really pisses me off.
Serious respect to anyone who’s been awake since the 70’s. I don’t know how you’ve put up with this sort of thing for so long.
Hm. I was mostly awake at an early age. If memory serves, I was in junior high to late grade school when Clinton was first elected. Even then, I instinctively knew that something wasn't right. I was also blessed to have a wonderful teacher (who was also a coach) that went out of his way to teach real history, even going as far as to teach out of what would have been called an 'out-of-date' history text book. Looking back, while I had some lousy teachers, I had some who were surprising gems as well, especially for a public school.
As to people who are asleep to the truth, just be careful in what you share. Red pilling is sometimes a slow process and is best done in small doses ... And no, red suppositories are not probably not viable options.
My personal view on those who aren't awake to the truth varies. For people who literally can't take in the truth because they aren't mentally wired to take in the full scope of what is really going on, I share only what they can handle. For others? Patience is the key. Some have to learn through seeing things happen in their own lives and maybe they'll start to see evidence proving what you told them before.
The hardest thing is to do it out of love and even care for those who antagonize you. For those who don't know Christ, there's only one outcome, and it's not something that I would even wish upon anyone. Suffering for the cost of your sins is one thing to wrap your mind around, someone doing it for eternity is something else entirely that is hard to even comprehend. Not saying criminals shouldn't suffer the consequences of their crimes, just that keeping the eternal perspective is important. A murderer deserves death which pays for the crime according to our law. God's law is higher and the penalty for rejecting the only way for your sins to be paid for is something infinitely more severe given what it cost to allow for that payment.
The Russians and the Rothschilds?
Thank you for sharing this information. We see issues with States rights and Government overreach back then. Ft Sumter would be considered a Military Foreign power that ignored the State. And what many do not realize is the mind set for many back then. Your first loyalty was to your State. History must be reflected accurately to learn from it.
Did I call it or did I call it? :-)
TO THE COURTS, LADS!
I’LL SUE!!!
Amen, and lets keep those beautiful prayers going.
What was the “Biden Administration’s” rationale for removing the monument? Was this ridiculous move forced by white hats?
Either way we can use this to expose the real history they are trying to rewrite.
Not to mention that Arlington cemetery was built on grounds belonging to General Lee.
You had better keep these statues.

Yes & no; but doesn't matter. We should never erase our history.
agreed
Time for the Democrats to own up to their past and stop dumping their evil on innocent people. Horizontal Harris , her ancestors owned over 20 slaves according to her family. And Obummer is related to slave owners. You never blame the innocent. Only the guilty.
So what they are doing is hiding their ancestors misdeeds? It's a weird to go after people's ancestors however, because most landowners kept slaves in those days. What changed is that Christian Westerners phased out slavery.
Also, the definition of slavery is that it is the practice of forced labor and restricted liberty. So, that still exists. Arguably, cheap prison labor is one of those things.
Don’t forget.
We are all slaves to the banks.
Most.... Sorry you are badly misguided. Less than 10% of Southerners owned slaves.
And most slave owners were Jewish. Funny how that never gets mentioned.
You are wrong.
It is a monument to Reconciliation.
Amen. Also a reminder of the Democrats and their past.
Thank God
Amen. Thank you prayers on the way.
Make it so that the statue (and all other confederate monuments) can only be removed on one condition: A publicly televised event, where the democrat party leaders formally acknowledge the responsibility of the democrat party for slavery, treasonous conspiracy to overthrow the USA, leading to civil war, and decades of marginalizing black Americans, and a formal apology to all citizens of the USA.
I have been waiting for years for anyone to demand that the democrat party confess its sins to the public, and formally apologize for the decades of American divisiveness that they are ultimately responsible for. The fact this has never happened is proof that there is only the UniParty in America, playing it's citizens like fools against each other.
If the Republican party had any moral fortitude whatsoever, they would demand this sort of an apology from the democrat party every single time a confederate statue/monument is to be removed. Make THEM own their racist, divisive history!
Amen, but I suspect they will lie and deny to the end.
What about what the majority wants instead of the Biden administrations unilateral decision?
Here is the proof how they ignore the majority.
