DISGUSTING: America: We will lose the 109 year old Confederate Reconciliation Memorial this week without a legal injunction

(000228.79-:E-000157.73:N-:R-SU:C-30:V)   

[It's a very beautiful and meaningful monument. But Jews are deciding the values of America. So bye bye to this lovely monument. It's disgusting. Jan]

Demolition will begin December 18 and take four days

That will absolutely destroy Arlington National Cemetery as our nation’s most sacred burial ground

It will desecrate the graves of almost 500 Confederate soldiers and family surrounding the memorial in concentric circles who, by 1901 law, are American soldiers entitled to the same respect and dignity as any American soldier who has ever lived

President William McKinley said "every soldier’s grave made during our unfortunate civil war is a tribute to American valor"

Those 500 "tributes to American valor" will now surround a mangled shaft and be targets of hate and derision for eternity

If ever you wanted to strike a blow against Woke hatred and iconoclasm, help us defend Arlington National Cemetery and its most magnificent historic memorial

Arlington National Cemetery, 109 year old Confederate Memorial to the Reconciliation and Reunification of our great nation after our bloodiest war. It was the brainchild of Union soldier and president, William McKinley, who said "every soldier’s grave made during our unfortunate civil war is a tribute to American valor." The sculptor, internationally renowned Jewish artist Moses Jacob Ezekiel, was a VMI Confederate soldier. Art critic Michael Robert Patterson states that "no sculptor, as far as known, has ever, in any one memorial told as much history as has Ezekiel in his monument at Arlington; and every human figure in it, as well as every symbol, is in and of itself a work of art." In a barbaric crime against art and history, the naming commission and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin want the monument demolished.

[Publisher’s Note, by Gene Kizer, Jr. – The DoD must respond today, Tuesday, December 5, 2023 to a judge’s order that they explain why they think they are above the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Environmental Policy Act and can go ahead with their demolition of the world class Confederate Reconciliation Memorial, the greatest achievement of internationally acclaimed Jewish sculptor Sir Moses Ezekiel, a VMI Confederate soldier.

Two days later, by Thursday, December 7, Pearl Harbor Day, Defend Arlington will respond.

After that, the fate of the Confederate Memorial is in a DC judge’s hands though we will certainly take additional action and fight to the bitter end.

This litigation is expensive and we desperately need to put money in our War Chest so PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY AND IMMEDIATELY.

I have set up a fundraising page by Gene Kizer, Jr. – Charleston Athenaeum Press, under Defend Arlington’s main fundraising website. It is safe, easy to use, and acknowledgements and receipts are emailed to your instantly. Here and below are links to it:

Last Friday, December 2, I submitted a 15 page Comment on DoD’s Environmental Assessment (EA), which, apparently, they are doing in order to skirt the strict requirements of the National Environment Policy Act for a formal Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

The kind of historical examination required by an EIS and required by the National Historic Preservation Act’s Section 106 Process, with public input, can take four years but DoD is doing it in four weeks.

DoD, in its rush to implement Elizabeth Warren’s history-destroying legislation and demolish the Confederate Memorial by January 1, 2024, is blind to the unintended consequences that will be forced on Arlington National Cemetery and our country.

The demolition of Ezekiel’s magnificent Reconciliation Memorial surrounded by 500 Confederate graves in concentric circles out from the monument, will utterly, completely and absolutely destroy Arlington National Cemetery as our nation’s most sacred burial ground.

What would be special about Arlington National Cemetery if it is forced to become a destroyer of historic monuments and desecrator of American soldier graves?

Warren’s legislation gave us the Woke political naming commission with its extremely biased vice chair, Ty Seidule, who has written extensively about his hatred of the Confederate Memorial and who appears to regret that our nation came back together after the War Between the States.

Seidule’s naming commission issued a historically fraudulent report that left out the primary history of the Confederate Memorial, which he knew well to be the reconciliation of our country.

The report falsely stated that the Confederate Memorial is in the naming commission’s remit.

It is not.

A monument to the reconciliation of the United States of America after our bloodiest war does not commemorate the Confederacy. It commemorates the goodness and genius of the United States of America back then, certainly not today.

As I say in my Comment, the destruction of the Confederate Memorial will also dishonor and devalue the OCEANS of Southern blood gladly spilled by descendants of Confederate veterans in all of our nation’s wars since traditionally 44% of our military has been recruited in the South.

It is no wonder the Army can’t recruit following extremist Woke legislation from liars like fake Indian Elizabeth Warren, who could have been stopped by Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe when Republicans had control of the Senate in 2020. The despicable Inhofe promised President Trump he would stop Warren’s hate legislation but Inhofe is as big a liar as Warren. Our nation deserves so much better.

Just click HERE and look at the Army’s 28 stunning photographs of the Confederate Memorial with its beauty, incredible detail and symbolism.

It is the most historic and magnificent memorial in Arlington National Cemetery and it’s slated for destruction on what will become one of the darkest days in American history, December 18, 2023, when Arlington National Cemetery ceases being our nation’s most sacred burial ground.

You expect grave desecration from Hamas and ISIS but not from the United States Department of Defense and Arlington National Cemetery, itself.
