Video of Bureaucrats Removing Signs and Flag from Statue and Commentary

Thanks to Lauren Canario:

In response to my discourse on the so called “Civil War”, AnnAmazedReader wrote this in the comments:

Debates regarding the circumstances under which the secession of a town, city, county, state or region from a larger “entity” are potentially interesting, although I would imagine that any enemy of the FSP would welcome the project’s members waxing verbose about the North’s engagement with the South in our Civil War being essentially evil. Arguing on behalf of a region’s supposedly inalienable right to treat human beings as chattel (while making the childish analogy between said chattel and American citizens in our time) on the basis of the sanctity of property rights is probably not a winner, folks. Unless you are actually 1) trying to undermine the movement, or 2) fundamentally non-serious and more inclined towards attention-getting stunts and rhetoric. Sorry.

Well-meaning Americans like Ann have been seriously misinformed. It wasn’t necessary to fight wars to abolish slavery in other parts of the world. (more…)

Heroic Activists Add Signs and Flag to Keene Statue on Central Sq!

One early morning this past weekend in Keene, NH, the statue of the Civil War Union thug at Central Square was adorned with a upside-down American flag and two signs reading, “FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS” and “FREE SAM DODSON AND ANDREW CARROLL”. Odds are very good this story never made it to the Sentinel or WKBK and reports say it took a fire truck and the police to remove the Union killer’s new accessories. Here’s the proof it happened:
Statue with signsPerhaps the history buffs that love a statue worshiping men who blindly killed their fellow man at the orders of a power-crazed madman (Lincoln didn’t free the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation, contrary to what you may have been told in govt high school.) should take this statue for their private collection. It’s an embarrassment to Keene and should come down when we secede, as it is nothing more than a symbol of arbitrary power and depravity. The Civil War wasn’t about freeing slaves as much as it was forcing people who didn’t wish to be in an organization (the union) to participate. Little has changed, except the plantation has gotten larger and we are all on it. It’s time for the slaves (us) to realize their situation, speak the truth to our fellow slaves, and refuse to obey. (Preferably here in NH and in Keene) (more…)
