The Lessons of History


Will freedom survive?

Dr. Robert R. Owens image

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—July 6, 2020

Lincoln, Gettysburg

Empires rise and empires fall.  They usually don’t end with a bang.  They end with a whimper.

Revolts become revolutions when those sent by the authorities to put them down instead join the revolt.  Is that what we’re beginning to see as police and National Guard troops kneel in submission before BLM and ANTIFA?  Many who railed against those who kneeled for the playing of our national anthem now kneel before those who showed their contempt for America.  Are the reins of power about to slip from the limp hands of the descendants of the Minutemen, the Grand Army of the Republic, and all the heroes who won the wars and enforced the peace?  Are the cultural, financial, social, and political structures we’ve known all our lives about to be upended?

Many readily admit they agree with everything Trump is doing and has done.  They acknowledge his policies led to the greatest economy the world has ever known and prosperity like we haven’t experienced since we all liked Ike.  And yet many of these same people say they won’t vote for him again because they don’t like the tone of his tweets or the combative manner in which he returns fire to the daily verbal broadsides from the Democrats who identify as journalists.

As you watch the blue cities burn and the blue leaders bow,  ask yourself, “For whom the bell tolls?”  Is the answer inevitably, “It tolls for thee.”  And if it is, what then shall we do?  Sit on our hands, quarantined in our homes, wearing our masks, watching in disbelief as thugs take over the streets, as the police are disbanded, waiting for Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Sanders, and the rest of the millionaire plutocrats to raise the red flag from the White House?

If our fleeting moment upon the world’s stage as uncivil as it is, has become a civil war this November we will arrive at Gettysburg.  A climatic moment that will decide in which direction the war will flow.  Looking ahead, knowing there will be many casualties physical, political, cultural, and societal it might be the perfect time to recall the words which frame the actual Battle of Gettysburg for all students of History:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Will freedom survive?  Or will our Republic like the Romans before us morph into something completely different?  Instead of an empire we may become a dictatorship of the proletariat where those who dole out the equal shares paraphrase the haunting statement from George Orwell’s Animal Farm … “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

If the blues sweep the board in November, we may all end up singing the blues.

Those who don’t learn the lessons of History are doomed to repeat the mistakes of History.  Those who do learn the lessons of History are unfortunately doomed to watch everyone else repeat the mistakes of History.

Hunkered in the bunker.  Waiting for the rain.

Keep the faith.  Keep the peace.  We shall overcome.

Statues & Rewriting History & Ignorance


Armstrong Economics Blog/America’s Economic History

Re-Posted Jul 8, 2020 by Martin Armstrong
I find that the tearing down of statues has gone way too far. Tearing down Columbus because he discovered America, and that harmed the indigenous people, is really nuts. If that is how they really feel, then return their land to the Indians and go back to where their ancestors were from. Taking down Columbus’ statue but then enjoying the privilege of living here is insane. Then they removed a block where slaves stood and were sold. Why? That is like tearing down the Berlin Wall and pretending it never happened. I would think it supports history to show what slavery was about back then.

Then there is Thomas Jefferson who these people simply say was a slave owner and had children with a slave. The slaves were his wife’s from her former marriage after her first husband died. Some were skilled, but most were farmhands. If Jefferson released them all, they would have starved. Over 70% of the economy was agrarian. They would not have been able to find a job at Starbucks or something. It was a completely different world. There would be no employment.

It was Jefferson who actually began the entire immorality of slavery, which shows that these people do not know their history. There was a heated debate over Jefferson’s first draft of the Declaration of Independence and his phrase “all men are created equal” when there existed American slavery among many of the delegates. The Congress deleted nearly a fourth of Jefferson’s draft, which included a passage criticizing the slave trade. It was Jefferson who first brought to the surface the controversial “anti-slavery” passage. Jefferson had long been against slavery and argued in court for the abolition of a slave before he ever wrote the Declaration of Independence. It was Jefferson who first articulated the anti-slavery concept which would eventually lead to the Civil War.

Insofar as having children with a slave, this was after his wife died; the slave was mixed race and the offspring of his wife’s former husband. Jefferson freed them and they were skilled and did not work as farmhands.

There were ruthless slave owners and there were also moderate to benevolent masters. Jefferson was a man of the Enlightenment, but he also had to be practical in the world he lived in at the time.

President Trump Tweets About NASCAR Noose Hoax – Media Go Bananas…


Posted originally on The Conservative tree house on July 6, 2020 by 

Earlier today President Trump drew attention to the purposeful fraud pushed by NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace.  In interviews Mr. Wallace said: “a noose was placed in my garage” and “the noose was hanging over my car.”  Both of those statements were false.

.

On June 25th NASCAR released a picture of the garage pull-down rope and knot that both they and Bubba Wallace described as a “noose hanging over the car“.

Except it clearly was not hanging over the car, and it clearly wasn’t a “noose” or it wouldn’t function to help pull the door down. Driver Bubba Wallace now calls it “a non-functioning noose.” Or, in simple terms, a garage pull-down rope with a loop-knot tied in the end.

However, what NASCAR did not realize was the picture they provided actually makes the situation worse; because the picture shows something else, something worse:

The picture was taken Sunday, in Bubba Wallace’s garage stall #4, when the race was cancelled due to inclement weather (rain and lightning). However, pay close attention to the partially visible uniform on the man standing at the left of the picture.

That person is a member of the Wood Brothers Race Team and this is a VERY important facet. The picture was taken Sunday, prior to the “noose” (hereafter called a knot) being cut down. According to a statement by the Wood Brothers team, they informed NASCAR officials the garage-pull in question was in place in 2019:

“One of our employees notified us yesterday … he recalled seeing a tied handle in the garage, from last fall. We immediately notified NASCAR and have assisted the investigation”. (link)

So that would explain why one of the Wood Brothers team was present on Sunday June 21st when the photograph was taken.

But here’s the problem…. If that picture was taken by NASCAR that means NASCAR was aware the knot in question was in place in 2019; and therefore knew Bubba Wallace was not the target…. and they would know this on Sunday; before they went out and made a big racial publicity stunt over it.

If it wasn’t NASCAR that took the picture, and the picture was taken by a member of Bubba Wallace’s #43 crew, that means the Richard Petty Motorsports team was aware their driver Bubba Wallace was not a target, and it was the team who made a big racial publicity stunt over it. This scenario seems most likely.

The visibility of a Wood Brothers crew member in the picture taken Sunday means either NASCAR knew the provenance, and/or Richard Petty Motorsports knew the provenance, before they made a big, fake, racially explosive media narrative about it. Either way is very bad news for the sport of NASCAR because that truth highlights a very damaging intent.

Again, this is how RPMotorsports described the details around the event:

Remember, the corporation of NASCAR decided to make this a big deal on Sunday, and then again on Monday when they called for the FBI investigation. The rope was cut down prior to the FBI arrival (FBI didn’t arrive until Monday).

The picture NASCAR released in  June shows that whoever originated the story, likely a person within RPMotorsports, knew immediately the rope-pull was in place in October 2019, and that Bubba Wallace was not a target of some racial angle. Ultimately, this is the conclusion the FBI also reached after their investigation.

Prior to the FBI reaching that conclusion, our own research had already discovered this.

However, knowing the larger background of that picture released today, it is not surprising that both NASCAR and Richard Petty Motorsports are in full damage control mode; trying desperately to save themselves from public backlash over a toxic racial hoax the Bubba Wallace team created, and ultimately NASCAR promoted.

The Bubba Wallace team, Richard Petty Motorsports and ultimately NASCAR have seriously compromised the integrity of their sport in order to advance themselves. Which leads to the next aspect in order to understand an alignment of motives.

A great article on RPMotorsports and their new owner Andrew Murstein from September of last year, explains why that specific team would intentionally fabricate this story to advance their interests:

New York Sports – […] “When we bought RPM, Richard had a similar objective and focus as I did which was to improve performance and bring diversity to the sport,” said Murstein, RPM’s Co-Owner. “I remember at the press conference I made that objective clear. It’s a major major sport but the athletes and the fan base were not as diverse as other sports.

I wanted to focus on changing the image of NASCAR and give everyone the same opportunity to succeed.”

[…] “To me, it was way overdue,” said Murstein. “The more that I heard about that the more determined Richard and I were, and we wanted to make a shift, so to speak, to a higher gear in the sport. We wanted to also expand the fan base, and show that anyone could excel in NASCAR regardless of his or her skin color.”

[…] The fact that Murstein is dedicated to diversity is not something new because it’s also been a mission for him with Medallion Financial, a company that was exclusively lending money to women and minority owned companies since the 1980’s when he joined the family business until its IPO in the 1990’s. Upon his arrival, Murstein focused on successfully diversifying the Company and tried to find other niches in terms of lending money to minorities that were overlooked by banks.

[…] About the time the Company was going public, Murstein approached former New York Governor Mario Cuomo about joining the company’s Board of Directors. Cuomo thought about it for six months or so and then after seeing a story about Medallion and it’s diversified lending in the Wall Street Journal, he called Murstein to give him the good news that he was coming on board.

[…] With Cuomo, a Democratic, joining the Board of Directors, Murstein added some political balance (read more)

And there you have it.

The toxic blend.

A politically connected NASCAR team owner with a motivation to increase racial diversity in the sport;…. combined with a socially sensitive NASCAR President, Steve Phelps, who wants NASCAR to “discover its place in modern American pop culture”…”in order to promote this sport in a way we haven’t in the past”;… combined with a racially motivated Bubba Wallace team looking to advance both sets of owner and corporate interests.

What was the outcome?

Pictured above: October 2019 Paul Menard crew – no problem

Pictured below: June 21, 2020, Bubba Wallace crew – OMG Racism!

(NASCAR Timeline Link)

Last point. This wasn’t the first time this exact “purposeful mistake” was made.

MICHIGAN – Police have ruled that a rope resembling a noose which was found at the University Hospital in Michigan was not the result of a hate crime but someone practicing tying a fishing knot…

Remember that the next time you tie nooses in your shoes

Something Is Rotten In America


What we are witness to is a massive criminal network

Ray DiLorenzo image

Re-posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and Archives—July 4, 2020

Something Is Rotten In America

In writing this article, I had to constantly remind myself that what is happening in America today is not an outlandish work of fiction that few people would find conceivable, but a harsh reality that is happening now. On one hand, I am fortunate to be a witness to history, but on the other hand, sick at heart that this could happen here,  the country I love..

It is not hyperbole to say that we are witnessing the culmination of decades of massive corruption. It is so fantastic in size, scope, and evil as to be worthy of the most heinous crime organizations that have ever existed.

Mass Murder, Treason, Insurrection, Sedition

It involves mass murder, treason, insurrection, and sedition.

A large contingent of the most barbarous group of men and women have literally declared war on the United States. They are an army of embedded bureaucrats otherwise known as the Deep State, current and former political leaders, a cooperative and collusive disinformation media, several well-indoctrinated generations employed as useful idiots, and a foreign power working in concert, having been given comfort and assurance. That foreign power is China. What they are collectively willing to do to seize power is unimaginable.

I only suspected this back in March, but I am beginning to believe that the COVID-19 pandemic, the rioting, the deaths, the destruction of property and the crushing of an entire nation is the result of a well-planned, well orchestrated hoax. It is like a massive injection of chemotherapy in an otherwise healthy patient, for what is considered by the Left to be a cancer on their power and control…Donald J. Trump. The Left is willing to see the host die rather than take any seat other than at the head of the table. They have decided that it is better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven.

Consider the following:

To protect fellow criminals within their extortion network, the Obama administration was not going to allow Trump to become president. Their attack, their insurance plan, was five fold: the election, the Russia-Collusion hoax, a worldwide pandemic, a race war, and, if all else fails, engineer an economic collapse. The coincidences are everywhere, too convenient, too prompt.

With the support of a brainless mob, Marxist Black Lives Matter, Antifa

In 2016, despite the constant bombardment from the media, the fake polls showing Hillary with a 96% chance of winning, Trump won the presidency. The collusion story was then unleashed. After several years of non-stop assaults by the Democrat Party and media coverage, the impeachment failed. Almost immediately, they released the hounds, an insurgency under the cover of a pandemic.

In 2015, Obama authorized the funding of virus experimentation in Wuhan, China, the hub of the pandemic. It was to create the agent for a global virus pandemic attack. Fauci even publicly predicted in 2017 the possibility of a pandemic during Trump’s first term, but, at the time Fauci wasn’t sure if it was going to be released since the impeachment process had not been decided. How did he know? The virus was released the very day the impeachment collapsed. It was not a natural event. Coincidence?

With an unjustified global shutdown for an historically minor virus outbreak, 24/7 news coverage, all media outlets reporting a barrage of up-to-the-minute numbers of infection and death, however inflated by adding regular flu virus numbers, the nation came to a near standstill. When it proved insufficient, the Democrat governors of New York, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and California went against federal guidelines and moved infected COVID patients into nursing homes where they knew the most vulnerable would also be infected, even while newly erected field hospitals and two Navy hospital ships stood near empty. The result was genocide, over 40,000 COVID deaths…murder!

As planned, COVID-19 reversed much of what President Trump had accomplished, firmly planted fear, and halted the highly successful MAGA rallies. To further dishearten the public, churches were closed in the guise of public safety. Just when millions of people needed to lean on their faith, it was pulled away. A national anxiety and depression settled in.

Through all the violence and death, the Democrats have been silent, total appeasement

And then another coincidence, the suspicious death of George Floyd by a white cop known to Floyd just when new COVID cases were beginning to flatten. It seemed obvious by the video footage that the police officer’s intent was to kill Floyd. The goal was to arouse racial hatred, division, and civil unrest to further divide an already fractured nation.

With the support of a brainless mob, a Marxist Black Lives Matter and Antifa, funded by Soros and ignorant corporations thinking they are buying protection, the riots that ensued destroyed or stole everything in its path with hardly a mention of Floyd. In Seattle, a six-block area was taken over that included a police station, giving thugs access to firearms and ammunition. Only when Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan’s neighborhood was attacked did she decide to clean up CHAZ, later CHOP, the autonomous zone the mayor called a ‘street festival.’ A street festival that killed two people, both black.

In every Democrat state, police were held back allowing rioters to have their way, furthering and encouraging civil unrest. Politicians suddenly seemed unconcerned about any resulting COVID spread. Churches had to close but rioting, pot shops, and liquor stores could remain open.

With the accelerated chaos, the refusal of Democrat governors and mayors to protect their citizens, the call for defunding or eliminating police began, along with the eviction of the National Guard. On June 22, Democrat Congressman, Adam Schiff proposed a bill calling for the elimination of military force as a posse Comitatus to weaken the ability of President Trump to curb the planned insurrection that was to continue during the coming months.

Through all the violence and death, the Democrats have been silent, total appeasement. I cannot remember any Democrat, speaking out against Black Lives Matter, Antifa or the nameless rabble of anarchists. Why should they? They’re acting as their militia.

Just a few months from the election, Democrats are now calling for mail-in elections due to COVID, knowing full well the fraud that will certainly ensue. How considerate of them! In many areas of the country they went from ‘Flatten the Curve’ to ‘Find a Cure’ as a prerequisite to reopening a business. They are constantly putting roadblocks ahead of returning to normal.

What we are witness to is a massive criminal network

At the same time, Barr and Durham have continued their investigation of the Obama administration that had weaponized the FBI and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to spy on the Trump campaign. They are getting close and the scope of the investigation is growing daily. Obama officials, including Biden and Obama are claiming social distancing guidelines to halt any hearings. James Clapper even said he would be glad to appear to any hearing once he receives the COVID-19 vaccine, which could take years.

What will China get? A continued sellout of American jobs and assets. They will have the benefit of a substantially weakened United States, and an emboldened Communist Chinese leadership.

What we are witness to is a massive criminal network from both sides of the political fence determined to protect their rice bowl at all costs, even to the destruction of the country they took an oath to serve. These rotten ‘swamp creatures’ have decided to no longer be Americans, but agents of another philosophy, another political system totally incompatible with the American ideal. They will do anything to continue their struggle, even as some past presidents fabricated reasons for war in exchange for profit and power.

I have no doubt that President Trump, if allowed, will right the ship of state unless, while in their declining days, the traitors will make one last attempt at survival, cover, and chaos, and engineer a total collapse of our economy. My estimation of probability in September, October, or November, is 50/50. Something is rotten, and it stinks. God help us!

Conservative News Sites Now Shilling For Black Lives Matter?


Conservative news sites, don’t compromise your standards, go to Whatfinger

Conservative News Sites Now Shilling For Black Lives Matter?

Flagging some of the best conservative news sites to an inherent danger on this July 4th weekend:

Your logos and Internet reputations are at risk having been used by aggregate site Mixi-Media to openly solicit donations for radical Marxist Black Lives Matter.

Although conservatives are more than likely unaware of it, their sites are now being used to drive conservative readers to a site that brazenly supports Black Lives Matter.

Conservative sites joined Mixi.Media not to shill for BLM funding

It’s not that National Review, NewsMax, Daily Wire, Daily Caller, ZeroHedge, RealClearPolitics, The Blaze, the highly respected Epoch Times and others are shilling for Black Lives Matter on their popular news sites, it’s that they seem to have been hoodwinked by a traffic-promising news aggregator site calling itself Mixi.Media.

Fellow patriots, you don’t have to take CFP’s word for it, go to Mixi.Media, view the bottom left corner and view for yourself the BLM logo.  Clicking on the Black Fist takes you directly to a donation request:

The Conservative sites joined Mixi.Media not to shill for BLM funding, but in the hopes of getting more traffic from Mixi.Media.

But readers coming to the conservative sites don’t know that, and whether or not they got an increase in traffic, they certainly got the Black Fist.

No one knows who the owners of Mixi.Media are, and a CFP Google search proved it.

Mixi.media, Black Lives Matters

Fellow Conservative news sites, don’t compromise your standards

With the current downturn in the economy and social media suppressing conservative news sites in the approach of Election 2020, conservative sites are looking to increase their traffic for online survival.

Aggregate sites promise increased traffic, but in CFP experience there’s only one that does deliver an increase in traffic—Whatfinger.

Whatfinger, operated by two patriots who served their country in uniform, increases traffic without compromising the editorial stands of conservative news sites.

Meanwhile, sorry for the July 4th interruption but time is of the essence.

How long will conservative readers come to conservative news sites as long as they are associated with Black Lives Matter?

Fellow Conservative news sites, don’t compromise your standards.

If it’s traffic you’re looking for, go to Whatfinger,.

Florida & Texas Attracting Even More Migrants from High-Taxed States


Armstrong Economics Blog/Real Estate

Re-Posted Jul 6, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The flight from the high-tax states continues to create a diversified real estate market throughout the United States. The Florida market is resilient. Despite the problems associated with COVID-19, the average price of sold listings through June 2020 is 6.3% higher year over year.  The average price in 2019 was $390,447 while the average price in 2020 was $415,190 with respect to a select group of condos on the west coast. People are once again out viewing properties and some friends from New York have commented they cannot stay in New York even another month as it has become draconian and dangerous.

One fried from LA who just flew out here said the police did not even try to stop looting, for the politicians told them to stand down for fear they might shoot some minority so they just let stores be looted. Another friend from Pennsylvania also called and wanted to move. He said a major shopping mall, King of Prussia Mall, was looted and prompted a State of Emergency declaration in Upper Merion Township. In just the past few weeks, the number of friends who have called or flown here looking for a property is stunning. One said I should have followed you four years ago — “I’m not sure I can even sell my house now!”

Act or Be Acted Upon…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on July 6, 2020 by 

It is not my intent to be cryptic; but at a time of consequence, it is necessary.  That said, there roots of CTH are deep, strong and enduring.  Nothing here will change; this is your refuge and I tend to it as a happy steward.  That is important to me.

Before going further, I know there are questions.  Perhaps my sharing a recent communication is a familiar transparency you have come to expect; perhaps also it will answer some questions… or at the least, begin the conversation:

Good afternoon XXXXXX, and thank you for reaching out.

I am working right now on a project I started in December 2018.  It is nearing a key inflection point, and over the next few weeks I should reach an anticipated crossroad.

My goal has never been to write or publish a book; nor gain influence or affluence. That objective remains.  Digital pamphlets for the common man in the spirit of Thomas Paine is always my primary approach.  The truth has no agenda; but so many people and institutions do.

With that in mind, it is the lack of action on a very specific, and demonstrably provable, example that now represents a very significant opportunity to highlight our national condition.

As the nation awaits the results of the probe being conducted by USAO John Durham, and with an expectation of outcome based on recent history, I have assembled a library of evidence that will either enhance the Durham result; and/or challenge it, depending on his finding.

In the spirit of Paine’s intent, information without action is antithetical to its purpose.

Volume III, a big ugly confrontation, is the key.  How does the common man retain liberty within a system whose existence is contingent upon a foundation of pretense. While knowing the cornerstone of that system is dependent on ignoring the truth he/she carries?

It is very kind of you to reach out, and I thank you for it.

As Frost aptly noted “two roads diverge in a yellow wood”… I shall know within two weeks which path.

Warmest regards,

Sundance

As noted above; and based on a similar level of frustrated 2013/2014 interest that laid the groundwork for the 2015 splitter strategy outline and subsequent 2016 tripwire series; back in 2018 I began ‘gaming-out’ an unfortunate and likely 2020 scenario based on a series of events I suspected would surface within the body politic.  The difference this time was the severity of consequence.

Recognizing in late summer 2018 that key DOJ, FBI, SSCI and media actions could ONLY be created by a very intentional design, for very intentional purposes, I started thinking about the ramifications for 2020.

As said often before, currently missing amid our national condition is action.

Information without action is antithetical to its purpose. This is why we miss Andrew Breitbart so much.  Additionally, what a shallow example would I be to myself if cast against this site’s masthead.  We all need to summon the courage to be Andrew Breitbart.

With that in mind; and entirely based on a carefully catalogued and irrefutably true set of records; on a very specific and consequential issue that cuts to the core of some of the most powerful interests in our nation; I set about planning an insurance policy of sorts.  An “in case of emergency, break glass” kind of approach; perhaps even a ‘broken arrow’.

I have been working this since late summer 2018, specifically the evening after I said President Donald Trump was going to fire Jeff Sessions on the day after the 2018 election. (He did)  By December ’18 it was seriously underway.  I have gamed-out every possible outcome you can imagine; and now enter a phase where I shall be organizing the specific details, and hopefully allies, in order to get an unstoppable chain of events in motion.

If John Durham and Bill Barr deliver the brutal truth this summer, then a series of releases of information will hopefully enhance their sunlight.  However, if they do not deliver the big ugly truth of it – then I will initiate events.  Or I’ll go down trying.

There is a very specific and demonstrable story that is beyond refute and purposefully ignored by media.  Within that back-story a whole lot of powerful people and systems are exposed.  The specificity and irrefutable nature of the story is the key.  Those institutions and the people in them will be confronted and shared in real time so all can watch.

A digital pamphlet simultaneously dropped while each participant is confronted… through a series of relentless confrontations.  Yes, I know the risks.  That’s why I’ve been planning, assembling, coordinating, and putting things into place for two years.  I am not naive to the severity of the interests involved, nor their abilities; hell, I research them.

Do or do not, there is no try.

Act or be acted upon.

That is all I can share for now….

Domestic Terrorism – Black Lives Matter “Protestors” Murder 8-Year-Old Black Child…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on July 5, 2020 by 

Atlanta Georgia has erupted into a lawless society as a willfully complicit Atlanta Mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, attempts to avoid her role in the murder of an 8-year-old child as violent Black Lives Matter protestors run amok in the city.

On Saturday night about 9:30, Charmaine Turner and her daughter were driving with a friend when they attempted to turn into a store near a group of armed Black Lives Matter protestors.  Two of the BLM activists opened fire on their vehicle for not complying with their unlawful roadblock, and 8-year-old Secoriea Turner was shot.  She died in her mothers arms as they attempted to escape the area and get to a hospital.

Secoriya Williamson, father of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner, addressed the public.

“They say Black Lives Matter. You killed your own… You killed a child” Mr. Williamson noted:

.

A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the BLM activists. Tipsters may remain anonymous and should call the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477).  Atlanta Mayor Bottoms says she is sorry for their loss as she continues negotiations with the domestic terrorist group.

President Trump Executive Order to Build Monuments To American Heroes – A National Garden…


Posted originally on The Conservative tree House on July 4, 2020 by 

How do you confront the lunacy of the anti-American leftists intent on removing American monuments? Well, if you are President Donald John Trump, you build more of them.  Hence, an executive order establishing A National Garden of American Heroes:

[Executive Order] – By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Purpose. America owes its present greatness to its past sacrifices. Because the past is always at risk of being forgotten, monuments will always be needed to honor those who came before. Since the time of our founding, Americans have raised monuments to our greatest citizens. In 1784, the legislature of Virginia commissioned the earliest statue of George Washington, a “monument of affection and gratitude” to a man who “unit[ed] to the endowment[s] of the Hero the virtues of the Patriot” and gave to the world “an Immortal Example of true Glory.” I Res. H. Del. (June 24, 1784). In our public parks and plazas, we have erected statues of great Americans who, through acts of wisdom and daring, built and preserved for us a republic of ordered liberty.

These statues are silent teachers in solid form of stone and metal. They preserve the memory of our American story and stir in us a spirit of responsibility for the chapters yet unwritten. These works of art call forth gratitude for the accomplishments and sacrifices of our exceptional fellow citizens who, despite their flaws, placed their virtues, their talents, and their lives in the service of our Nation. These monuments express our noblest ideals: respect for our ancestors, love of freedom, and striving for a more perfect union. They are works of beauty, created as enduring tributes. In preserving them, we show reverence for our past, we dignify our present, and we inspire those who are to come. To build a monument is to ratify our shared national project.

To destroy a monument is to desecrate our common inheritance. In recent weeks, in the midst of protests across America, many monuments have been vandalized or destroyed. Some local governments have responded by taking their monuments down. Among others, monuments to Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Francis Scott Key, Ulysses S. Grant, leaders of the abolitionist movement, the first all-volunteer African-American regiment of the Union Army in the Civil War, and American soldiers killed in the First and Second World Wars have been vandalized, destroyed, or removed.

These statues are not ours alone, to be discarded at the whim of those inflamed by fashionable political passions; they belong to generations that have come before us and to generations yet unborn. My Administration will not abide an assault on our collective national memory. In the face of such acts of destruction, it is our responsibility as Americans to stand strong against this violence, and to peacefully transmit our great national story to future generations through newly commissioned monuments to American heroes.

Sec. 2. Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes. (a) There is hereby established the Interagency Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes (Task Force). The Task Force shall be chaired by the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary), and shall include the following additional members:

(i) the Administrator of General Services (Administrator);

(ii) the Chairperson of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA);

(iii) the Chairperson of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH);

(iv) the Chairman of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP); and

(v) any officers or employees of any executive department or agency (agency) designated by the President or the Secretary.

(b) The Department of the Interior shall provide funding and administrative support as may be necessary for the performance and functions of the Task Force. The Secretary shall designate an official of the Department of the Interior to serve as the Executive Director of the Task Force, responsible for coordinating its day-to-day activities.

(c) The Chairpersons of the NEA and NEH and the Chairman of the ACHP shall establish cross-department initiatives within the NEA, NEH, and ACHP, respectively, to advance the purposes of the Task Force and this order and to coordinate relevant agency operations with the Task Force.

Sec. 3. National Garden of American Heroes. (a) It shall be the policy of the United States to establish a statuary park named the National Garden of American Heroes (National Garden).

(b) Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Task Force shall submit a report to the President through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy that proposes options for the creation of the National Garden, including potential locations for the site. In identifying options, the Task Force shall:

(i) strive to open the National Garden expeditiously;

(ii) evaluate the feasibility of creating the National Garden through a variety of potential avenues, including existing agency authorities and appropriations; and

(iii) consider the availability of authority to encourage and accept the donation or loan of statues by States, localities, civic organizations, businesses, religious organizations, and individuals, for display at the National Garden.

(c) In addition to the requirements of subsection 3(b) of this order, the proposed options for the National Garden should adhere to the criteria described in subsections (c)(i) through (c)(vi) of this section.

(i) The National Garden should be composed of statues, including statues of John Adams, Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, Daniel Boone, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Henry Clay, Davy Crockett, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Benjamin Franklin, Billy Graham, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Douglas MacArthur, Dolley Madison, James Madison, Christa McAuliffe, Audie Murphy, George S. Patton, Jr., Ronald Reagan, Jackie Robinson, Betsy Ross, Antonin Scalia, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman, Booker T. Washington, George Washington, and Orville and Wilbur Wright.

(ii) The National Garden should be opened for public access prior to the 250th anniversary of the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2026.

(iii) Statues should depict historically significant Americans, as that term is defined in section 7 of this order, who have contributed positively to America throughout our history. Examples include: the Founding Fathers, those who fought for the abolition of slavery or participated in the underground railroad, heroes of the United States Armed Forces, recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor or Presidential Medal of Freedom, scientists and inventors, entrepreneurs, civil rights leaders, missionaries and religious leaders, pioneers and explorers, police officers and firefighters killed or injured in the line of duty, labor leaders, advocates for the poor and disadvantaged, opponents of national socialism or international socialism, former Presidents of the United States and other elected officials, judges and justices, astronauts, authors, intellectuals, artists, and teachers. None will have lived perfect lives, but all will be worth honoring, remembering, and studying.

(iv) All statues in the National Garden should be lifelike or realistic representations of the persons they depict, not abstract or modernist representations.

(v) The National Garden should be located on a site of natural beauty that enables visitors to enjoy nature, walk among the statues, and be inspired to learn about great figures of America’s history. The site should be proximate to at least one major population center, and the site should not cause significant disruption to the local community.

(vi) As part of its civic education mission, the National Garden should also separately maintain a collection of statues for temporary display at appropriate sites around the United States that are accessible to the general public.

Sec. 4. Commissioning of New Statues and Works of Art. (a) The Task Force shall examine the appropriations authority of the agencies represented on it in light of the purpose and policy of this order. Based on its examination of relevant authorities, the Task Force shall make recommendations for the use of these agencies’ appropriations.

(b) To the extent appropriate and consistent with applicable law and the other provisions of this order, Task Force agencies that are authorized to provide for the commissioning of statues or monuments shall, in expending funds, give priority to projects involving the commissioning of publicly accessible statues of persons meeting the criteria described in section 3(b)(iii) of this order, with particular preference for statues of the Founding Fathers, former Presidents of the United States, leading abolitionists, and individuals involved in the discovery of America.

(c) To the extent appropriate and consistent with applicable law, these agencies shall prioritize projects that will result in the installation of a statue as described in subsection (b) of this section in a community where a statue depicting a historically significant American was removed or destroyed in conjunction with the events described in section 1 of this order.

(d) After consulting with the Task Force, the Administrator of General Services shall promptly revise and thereafter operate the General Service Administration’s (GSA’s) Art in Architecture (AIA) Policies and Procedures, GSA Acquisition Letter V-10-01, and Part 102-77 of title 41, Code of Federal Regulations, to prioritize the commission of works of art that portray historically significant Americans or events of American historical significance or illustrate the ideals upon which our Nation was founded. Priority should be given to public-facing monuments to former Presidents of the United States and to individuals and events relating to the discovery of America, the founding of the United States, and the abolition of slavery. Such works of art should be designed to be appreciated by the general public and by those who use and interact with Federal buildings. Priority should be given to this policy above other policies contained in part 102-77 of title 41, Code of Federal Regulations, and revisions made pursuant to this subsection shall be made to supersede any regulatory provisions of AIA that may conflict with or otherwise impede advancing the purposes of this subsection.

(e) When a statue or work of art commissioned pursuant to this section is meant to depict a historically significant American, the statue or work of art shall be a lifelike or realistic representation of that person, not an abstract or modernist representation.

Sec. 5. Educational Programming. The Chairperson of the NEH shall prioritize the allocation of funding to programs and projects that educate Americans about the founding documents and founding ideals of the United States, as appropriate and to the extent consistent with applicable law, including section 956 of title 20, United States Code. The founding documents include the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Federalist Papers. The founding ideals include equality under the law, respect for inalienable individual rights, and representative self-government. Within 90 days of the conclusion of each Fiscal Year from 2021 through 2026, the Chairperson shall submit a report to the President through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy that identifies funding allocated to programs and projects pursuant to this section.

Sec. 6. Protection of National Garden and Statues Commissioned Pursuant to this Order. The Attorney General shall apply section 3 of Executive Order 13933 of June 26, 2020 (Protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues and Combating Recent Criminal Violence), with respect to violations of Federal law regarding the National Garden and all statues commissioned pursuant to this order.

Sec. 7. Definition. The term “historically significant American” means an individual who was, or became, an American citizen and was a public figure who made substantive contributions to America’s public life or otherwise had a substantive effect on America’s history. The phrase also includes public figures such as Christopher Columbus, Junipero Serra, and the Marquis de La Fayette, who lived prior to or during the American Revolution and were not American citizens, but who made substantive historical contributions to the discovery, development, or independence of the future United States.

Sec. 8. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
