Vigilante protesters start DIGGING UP body of Confederate general and KKK leader Nathan Forrest from his grave

A group of protesters started digging up the grave of Confederate general Nathan Beford Forrest in Memphis

Clarification: This article is two years old. The “exhumation” was symbolic: Gen. Forrest’s body was not removed. The point is to see how much of a difference two years will make as actions become emboldened without consequences.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A group of protesters who want the body of an alleged Ku Klux Klan leader removed from their city have broken the soil over the grave.

The campaigners claim it has taken officials in Memphis, Tennessee, too long to exhume Nathan Bedford Forrest – who was a lieutenant general in the Confederate States Army.

They also want the statue of the soldier on a horse on the burial site to be removed. The rebel cavalryman, who died in 1877, has been buried in the city’s Health Sciences Park since 1904.

Durham sheriff arrests ladder climber in Confederate statue destruction

The protester who climbed a ladder to help bring down a Confederate soldier statue was arrested Tuesday, and Sheriff Mike Andrews said his office will pursue felony charges against others.

“Let me be clear, no one is getting away with what happened,” Andrews said.

Takiyah Thompson, a member of Workers World Party and student at N.C. Central University, was arrested after activists held a press conference at NCCU Tuesday afternoon.

In a release Thompson said she was the one who tied a rope around the soldier’s neck so that others could pull the statue to the ground.

Time to Take Out the Trash

Does this governor represent your views? It is not time to remove statues: it is time to remove trash politicians.

The Long Struggle

In retrospect, the alt-right should have simply cancelled the Saturday event, leaving the cops to figure out how to blame the inevitable Antifa rioting on the alt-right. That would have left them guessing about the sort of people they are facing. The important thing about the Left is they believe their own bullshit. That’s why they put so much effort into forcing their enemies to play the role designed for them. Outfoxing them and not playing that role is the best psychological weapon that can be deployed against the people in charge.

That’s not what happened and it is a good lesson for our side. The cops lied about their intentions and the politicians lied too. Cops are mostly guys who like pushing people around and they are not giving up that privilege for anything. They would mace a nursery school if their bosses ordered it. In all future dealings with the cops, the underlying assumption must be that the cops are lying. Security needs to be designed with the assumption that the cops are working with the other side. Charlottesville is the proof of it.

More From the Organizers in Durham’s Takedown

Image may contain: one or more people and outdoor

Revolution is taking root in the United States. Although the information in this article comes from www.workers.org, this movement to overthrow the Constitution and Capitalism has far reaching support throughout the country. I will make the bold statement that this movement is being organized by our own government, media and even regular people who will sacrifice their freedom in order to evade the label of “hater”. Free speech and the right to assemble are under attack. Civil discourse is not acceptable. The terms of surrender are simple: unconditional. Too harsh? Read some of the following information from one of the organizers of the Durham “protest” below.

As always, follow the money whenever you see a “protest” where the signs are professional printed. Also watch to see if law enforcement has been directed to “stand down” in a tacit show of support.

Failing to shake the resolve of the Korean people when he proposed war, even nuclear war, on that small country, Donald Trump has now targeted Venezuela. “We have many options for Venezuela and by the way, I am not going to rule out a military option,” he said on Aug. 11. “We have many options for Venezuela, including a possible military option if necessary.”

Several times each year, the U.S. carries out war exercises close to the borders of the DPRK simulating an attack on that country and the “decapitation” of its leadership. Another is set to begin Aug. 21, involving tens of thousands of U.S. and south Korean troops.

This persistent U.S. threat of war is why the DPRK has allocated precious resources to become one of the world’s nine nuclear weapons states. It is now estimated to have around 30 such bombs — out of the more than 15,000 nuclear warheads in the world.

The U.S. accounts for nearly 7,000 of those warheads. Yet the DPRK is now the target of a screaming propaganda campaign accusing its leader, Kim Jong Un, of wildly leading the world into a nuclear war.

The following is a statement from Workers World Party, which sent many of its members to Charlottesville, Va., to beat back the Nazis and Klan who marched there.

The coming out into the light of day of an openly fascist movement in the United States, as happened on Aug. 11-12 in Charlottesville, Va., confirms at least three things about the state of this country.

First, the media manipulation and financial maneuvering by a significant far-rightwing section of the billionaire class to get one of their own into the White House has emboldened the most racist, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic, misogynist, male-supremacist, murderous scum of this decaying capitalist society.

Ukraine Hosts US Military To Be Permanently Stationed On Its Soil

A US military facility near Russia’s borders is a very serious threat to regional security.

The Black Sea region is turning into a hot spot. US destroyers and cruisers visit the Black Sea regularly to provide NATO with long-range first strike capability. The Romania-based Aegis Ashore BMD system uses the Mk-41 launcher capable of firing Tomahawk long-range precision-guided missiles against land assets.

It is obvious to the entire world that Trump is preparing for WW III. Roll the dice: Syria, Iran, China, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, North Korea or Pakistan. One spark will ignite the conflagration. But just to be sure, the flames of civil unrest are being fanned in our own country as the government and police standby and later condemn using the new label of “hater”. Reminds me of Stalin’s purge of the farmers in Ukraine as outline in the book “Bloodlands”.

A Few Thoughts on Charlottesville

by Michael Krieger

I’ve got no affinity for neo-Nazis or antifa, but I also recognize them to be a relative sideshow compared to the far more pressing threats we face today. You can discern where the true power lies based on what the corporate media chooses to focus on, and what it chooses to ignore. An obsession with useful idiot American protestors punching each other is very similar to the 9-month incessant focus on Russia election conspiracy theories. It perfectly aids the agenda of the real power structure in this country. Creating outrage about neo-Nazis and Russia doesn’t hurt oligarchs; in fact, it helps their cause. It diverts attention and energy away from the true cancer destroying society, and provides the added benefit of allowing terrible people to get up on soapboxes. Condemning neo-Nazis is easy and takes no real courage, which is why oligarchs and their spokespeople salivate at the opportunity to use it to advance their own unrelated interests. Here are two examples of what I mean.
