How To Repeat History (Part 6) - Statues and Monuments
A compilation of all the statues and monuments that have been destroyed or removed during the American Woke Revolution and notes on where the censorship industrial complex stems from
Comrades: Orwell tried to warn us.
During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Mao’s Red Guards destroyed countless cultural artifacts. They were indoctrinated to attack anything that represented the “Four Olds”: Old Ideas, Old Culture, Old Customs, and Old Habits. The Red Guards wrecked museums, renamed streets, and chanted Mao quotes while hanging up agitprop everywhere. Millions of people lost their lives and livelihoods in public humiliation struggle sessions.
Nothing was too sacred for the Red Guards, who desecrated religious symbols and the dead. They dug up the corpse of the 76th-generation Duke Yansheng and hung it naked from a tree. Red Guards dragged the remains of the Ming Dynasty Wanli Emperor and Empress outside their tomb, where they were posthumously denounced and immolated. Countless other cultural artifacts were burned like cheap firewood.
Today, I have compiled a list of all the statues and monuments destroyed or removed during the American Woke Cultural Revolution. Trump was mocked for saying that after the Confederates, they’d come for the founding fathers. Once again, he was proven right. The destruction of cultural heritage is a brutal shiv of demoralization and subversion. I have provided details on who ordered the removals and where the statues were relocated to.
Please add anything I missed in the comments.
Monument of Reconciliation - Arlington National Cemetery
Removed under orders by the Biden administration’s Congressional Naming Commission. Relocated to New Market Battlefield State Historical Park in the Shenandoah Valley. What is a regime trying to tell you when they tear down a monument towards reconciliation?
One hero tried to stop it:
Thomas Jefferson Statue - City Hall, NYC
Removed by unanimous vote of city’s Public Design Commission, appointed by NYC City Council. Relocated to the New York Historical Society, which plans place it in its lobby and reading room.
Theodore Roosevelt Statue - Museum of Natural History, NYC
Removed by unanimous vote of the New York City Public Design Commission following vandalism during George Floyd Riots; Theodore Roosevelt IV and Mayor Bolshevik Bill de Blasio supported the decision. Relocated to the Theodore Roosevelt Museum in Medora (ND), slated to open in 2026.
Emancipation Memorial featuring Abraham Lincoln - Boston, Maskachussetts
Removed by unanimous vote from the Boston Art Commission.
Currently placed in storage. Future plans for the monument have not been determined, but the city announced it hopes the work will be better moved to a "publicly accessible location where its history and context can be better explained.” New works will be installed at the former location featuring “a series of virtual panel discussions and short-term art installations examining and reimagining our cultural symbols, public art, and histories.”
William Penn Statue at Welcome Park - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
National Park Service under Interior Secretary Deb Haaland. The park is on the site of Penn’s original home in Philadelphia. It will be "rehabilitated" to include an "expanded interpretation of the Native American history of Philadelphia.” National Park Service claims that at some later date, which is not currently funded, there will be a new exhibit that mentions Penn and his work founding what became the state named for him.
***If you’d like to help save this statue, the comment period is open until January 21: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/ - it appears the comments and hardcore ratio on Twitter are working.
Kit Carson Statue - Denver, Colorado
During Summer 2020, Denver Parks and Recreation removed the statue “proactively” for safety and as a precautionary measure to keep it from being torn down similar to a Columbus statue. Relocation unknown.
Robert E. Lee Statue - Charlottesville, Virginia
Removed by Charlottesville City Council vote, sparked major protest that left three dead along with the “both sides” hoax that was the centerpiece of to Biden’s campaign.
Melted down in a humiliation ceremony.
Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine
Removed by unanimous vote by the Detroit School Board. Living black men are receiving the same treatment as dead white men for wrongthink. Carson is an inspiration to all children. He went from poverty to Yale, medical school, and Johns Hopkins, performing first known separation of conjoined twins joined at the back of the head. The Democrats who destroyed Detroit justified removing his name from the school because it was “synonymous with having Trump’s name on our school in blackface”.
Minnesota State Flag
During the 2023 General Session, Utah legislators narrowly passed Senate Bill 31 (SB31)—changing the Utah State Flag. They did not allow Utah citizens to vote. Volunteers have filed an official statewide initiative to put this state flag issue to a vote on the Nov. 2024 ballot in the general election. The goal: Vote to restore the Utah state flag as the one state flag (repealing SB31, including the new flag). In order to get this on the ballot, they need to gather at least 134,298 signatures from registered Utah voters.
More than 160 monuments and memorials to Confederates have been removed, all but five since the Great Awokening of 2015. Many military bases have been renamed as well. First they came for the Confederates, then they came for the Founding Fathers. Who is next?
This is where the Censorship Industrial Complex and woke mind virus stem from:
2 quick polls:
They tried that crap in San Antonio with the Alamo and the monument to the defenders. It didn’t fly. People showed up with long rifles to defend it from any woke morons who thought they’d get froggy. You see, the names on the monument were inconvenient to their lie, and include several Hispanics and at least one black.
In early March 2020, a bell was removed from Tulane campus. It had stood outside the convocation hall for 60 years, and generations of students had used the bell as a good-luck symbol. But its provenance couldn’t be verified. It MIGHT have been used to call slaves in and out of the fields on a plantation. No one knew exactly where the bell came from. So even though thousands of students, black and white, had looked on the bell as a school symbol (meeting there when the basketball team won, for example) it couldn’t be seen as a unifying symbol. Like everything woke, there was no redemption. Out it went. The next weekend the Covid misery started so the removal was just swept away.
An empty pedestal sits outside now. Like everything woke, these beautiful monuments are replaced with emptiness.
I know it’s small but it is so emblematic of this problem.
