Requiem for a Culture, Part 6: The End of Reconciliation

Southern partisans, especially those who have ancestors who fought in the War for Southern Independence, are well aware of the depredations that have been visited upon Southern monuments in the last three or four years. The process culminated late last year with the desecration of two cherished monuments, the statue of General Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. I’ll give a brief recapitulation of these events for readers who may not be familiar with what happened.

A bronze statue of General Lee, the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, had stood since the 1920s in a little park next to the library in downtown Charlottesville. The “Unite the Right” false-flag fiasco in 2017 started the ball rolling on the statue’s removal. Late that summer General Lee and his horse Traveller were covered with a burka to prevent passers-by from being triggered by the sight. Then in 2020 the fentanyl overdose of Saint George Floyd provided the coup de grâce: the following year the statue was finally removed from its plinth. To make sure that the South would never rise again, last October the revered general was cut into pieces and melted down.

The widely-published photo of General Lee’s molten bronze face was like a knife in the heart for Southern partisans (or at least for this one).

I will not forgive anyone who desecrated Confederate statues. I do not blame any southern fellow either for running as fast as he can from joining the US oligarch driven military bombing machine.

The desecration began in South Carolina under that fake and phony republican governor Nickey Haley, and it was her who started the removal of the statues due to a white kid who shot up some black people in a black church, and then it began to spread like wildfire to other states. she is to blame for this desecration.

The Flag has been Unfurled, it is still extant in several Southern State flags, including Georgia. We are indeed on the cusp of the Dissolution of the Union Once Again.
This time not by Secession, but by the Collapse of the Feral DC Corrupt $ Bureaucrazy.
The USSA Bankster Monee is Humpty Dumpty, the Debt too large, the Productivity too low, the People too Alienated by Illegal Aliens and the Illegal DC Coup GrubMint.
It’s Over, the Empire is Finished. Inertia Apparency is All that remains, and is running out quickly.
Si vis pacem, para bellum …… Conduct Yourselves Accordingly. Freedom is also Dangerously Exhilerating, so ….. “Never Regret Yesterday, Life is in you Today, and You Create Your Tommorrows”.
Hopefully You Do It Well.

“The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form.” Jefferson Davis -- President of the CSA.
President Davis was more than a great American. He was a prophet too. That time is now fast approaching.

After we break free from the commies and Globohomo Empire, I wonder which flag we should use? I kind of like the Bonnie Blue. What do you think?

General Robert E. Lee said, “If I had foreseen the use those people designed to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me. Had I foreseen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in my right hand.” AMEN

Lee was another prophet of the South. Without the South, the New York banking families and the Northeast industrial/manufacturing families would never have had the human and natural resources they needed in order to transform the U.S. from a peaceful republic into a hyper-militarized, hyper aggressive, worldwide empire capable of dictating terms of finance, trade and business to the entire world.
