George Washington Statue in Portland Toppled, Covered in Burning U.S. Flag

85

America’s founding ideal was the principle of individual rights. Nothing more—and nothing less. The rest—everything that America achieved, everything she became, everything “noble and just,” and heroic, and great, and unprecedented in human history—was the logical consequence of fidelity to that one principle. The first consequence was the principle of political freedom, i.e., an individual’s freedom from physical compulsion, coercion or interference by the government. The next was the economic implementation of political freedom: the system of capitalism.

It took centuries of intellectual, philosophical development to achieve political freedom. It was a long struggle, stretching from Aristotle to John Locke to the Founding Fathers. The system they established was not based on unlimited majority rule, but on its opposite: on individual rights, which were not to be alienated by majority vote or minority plotting. The individual was not left at the mercy of his neighbors or his leaders: the Constitutional system of checks and balances was scientifically devised to protect him from both. This was the great American achievement—and if concern for the actual welfare of other nations were our present leaders’ motive, this is what we should have been teaching the world.

George Washington Statue in Portland Toppled, Covered in Burning U.S. Flag

Newsweak, June 18,2020:

mid ongoing protests following the killing of George Floyd, a statue of George Washington, the first president of the U.S., was torn down Thursday night by a group of people in Portland, Oregon’s largest city.

“People have torn down a statue of George Washington at 57th and Sandy in NE Portland. @fox12oregon,” wrote a reporter for FOX 12 Oregon, Drew Reeves, on his Twitter account.

A U.S. flag was seen burning at the head of the statue before it was toppled using a rope. Another U.S. flag was seen burning over the statue after it was toppled on the ground, according to video footage and images shared on social media. Police are reported to be at the scene.

The statue was spray-painted with the words “genocidal colonist,” among other words, according to images shared on social media.

A news photographer for Portland’s KOIN, Matt Rashleigh, noted: “The George Washington statue on NE Sandy in #Portland #Oregon has been pulled down and vandalized. Portland Police officers inspected the damage. Someone left a note and a few dollars on it next to the spray painted bronze. #koin6news,” in a post on his Twitter account sharing images of the scene.

Andy Ngô, editor-at-large at The Post Millennial, described: “Antifa rioters on Sandy Blvd. in Portland draped a US flag over a George Washington statue & set it on fire. They then toppled the statue. ‘Genocidal colonist’ & ‘f— cops’ are sprayed on monument. Rioters have began to build another autonomous zone nearby,” in a post on his Twitter account.

Michael: Yes, and the damage done by Obama actually got worse and worse over his Presidency. Rasmussen polled the same question 3 times over several years, and each successive poll saw increasing concern over Obama making race relations worse.

As soon as Trump took over, this trend reversed. In particular, the electorate increasingly saw that employment in young black men was improving substantially.

Hi, VIRGINIA PADGETT. Would you be so kind as to deeply immerse yourself into remedial English classes? If you study diligently, choose the proper text and instructors, after a decade, you just might be able to write at a third grade, primary school, level. Then, we might be able to understand your “comments”.

Take my advice, dedicate yourself to the study. After a decade of hard work, you might be able to achieve that goal.

You need to either get thicker skin or take an American History in depth course! Did you know;
That the USA only had 5% of the worlds slave trade!
The African people sold their own people for money!
The Democrats mainly bought the slaves auctioned here!
The Repulicans did own a small portion of the slave trade however, treated them better and some owners gave their slaves land of their own!
The main slave trade in the weatern hemisphere was in Mexico, Central America and Hughly in South America!
Europe also was a main buyer of the slave trade!
The Republicans freed the slaves under Lincoln’s guidance!
The Democrats formed the KKK!
The Democrats segregated black americans!
The Confederacy is part of thegrowing pains of our Republic and should be taught so that it never happens again!
The Dem. Confederacy believed in an ideology different than Republicans!
We must never kill our culture in fact! Why, because the liberal/communists willjust keep trying to destroy our history and constitution! Sounds familiar to Hitler!
The DemocRATs are repeating their past mistakes before our very eyes. Not one Great Grand Parent, Grand Parent, Parent our child of a slave is alive today! Slavery ended 156 ago!
All Lives Matter in fact and Pres. Trump has proven that! Thats fact!
Why aren’t these BLM, Antifa asking for everything free under the moon from Africa for selling their own people or South America , Central America, Mexico or Europe? Class dismissed…..jeez! SMH

The plan is to replace them with prominent communists and maybe some with Muslim symbolism. They are already doing just that!

We already have at least five statues of Lenin in the U.S.. They are in in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New York City, Los Angeles, and DRUM ROLLthe largest and most famous,is a 16-foot bronze statue, in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Seatlte is a colossal shiiithole and it is the fault of the VOTERS not Trump! Clean up your own mess at your expense!

Another communist revolutionary — Cuba’s Ernesto “Ché” Guevara is also revered by the left and a statue was erected in New York City’s Central Park. Ironically he was a rabid racist and viewed blacks as intellectually inferior to those of European descent and very lazy. When Mayor DeBlazio used a phrase associated with Guevara the Cubans in Florida, booed him! They fled Cuba to get away from that. That was when he was campaigning for President – LOL!

Have you heard of them being damaged or vandalized?

Our education has been drifting to the left for decades. Obama masterfully took it over and overhauled our education through Common Core in exchange for federal money. He created a curriculum of pure hatred for our country. The history aspect of it is especially maddening. It claims to be an evidence based critical analysis of our history. It is anything but that. It is pure propaganda driven by cherry picked history, written in a biased manner, to leave the student unable to come up with anything but hatred as the conclusion. The curriculum is clever in some ways. The student thinks they are being objective and coming to that conclusion on their own. You are seeing the result of that. Bill Gates poured allot of money into Common Core but won’t let HIS kids use that as their curriculum.

Michigan State Research VP Stephen Hsu Faces Calls for Termination
over Research on IQ

BY TOM CICCOTTA 19 Jun 2020

Hsu was criticized as far back as 2013 for research he conducted on the relationship between race and intelligence for his doctorate dissertation. Yong Chan, research director for the racial justice website ChangeLab, condemned Hsu in 2013 for accepting funding from the Chinese government to conduct research on the biological basis for intelligence.

(Why are we allowing funding from China for this?)

“Even though mainstream science has pretty much scrapped the notion that race has any kind of biological basis long ago, that hasn’t stopped [Hsu] from trying to link intelligence with race and getting a billion and a half dollars for research based in China,” Chan wrote.

Hsu is also facing criticism for promoting a 2019 study that suggested that there is no racial disparity in rates of police shooting.

A petition with almost 800 signatures has called on Michigan State University to fire Hsu for violating “university values.”

“The attacks attempt to depict me as a racist and sexist, using short video clips out of context, and also by misrepresenting the content of some of my blog posts. A cursory inspection reveals bad faith in their presentation,” Hsu wrote last week in a statement. “The accusations are entirely false – I am neither racist or sexist.”

Hsu argued that social justice groups work to suppress research when they find its conclusions objectionable. “The Twitter mobs want to suppress scientific work that they find objectionable. What is really at stake: academic freedom, open discussion of important ideas, scientific inquiry. All are imperiled and all must be defended,” Hsu added.

A South African, one who has spent much time in the U.S., not least in the north-west, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Oregon, it is sad to see the America I knew disintegrating at the hands of black racists of Black Lives Matter who produced nothing of worth and will produce nothing or worth, and anarchists of Antifa who in their actions and mindset exemplify fascism. Through weak and cowardly political leaders, these grubby dregs of humanity, these worthless destroyers who need to be stopped – if necessarily violently to stop their violence and criminality – are being allowed to destroy the country. What the hell did George Washington do to earn destruction of his statue? – and this by disgustingly stupid people, many anti-white racists who want to destroy what the white man produced. Blacks involved in these actions remind me of those who destroyed Zimbabwe, made a mess of Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, Angola, are busy destroying South Africa, and are carry this destructive genius to America. America is desperately in need of another Martin Luther King figure, not the worthless, racist and criminal dregs of BLM, an evil force that will not and cannot produce anything of genuine value and must be stopped in their tracks.

The American Groups are being used by the World, Global Powers to Collapse America in all things. American Groups are Puppets on Ropes for Strings pulled by the World Global Powers. Group Street Protesters are being used : FOOD, WATER COST MONEY , TOILET Papers COST money, MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT WORKING and are getting their Money Growing on Trees of Seattle, and Portland, Trees grow Money in the Protest Locations of America. May the World Global Powers have Money to invest in the Collapse and Destruction of America , like they did in the History of Russia and France was collapse by Hidden World Global Powers of Severe and Extreme Wealth in the Trillions of Money to use for their WORLD GLOBAL Power Greed.

How many African – Americans live in Portland ? How many African – Americans live in Seattle ? Iran, China, Russia, and Pakistan have invaded America with BLM/Antifa/ World Global COMMUNIST Agenda ! The Juneteenth DAY, the End of Slavery is a Celebration for African- Americans, not a Day of Destruction. Facts, Truths ,and Reality of the American Constitution to STAY FOREVER. Communist Government is Not America. The Protest Groups should move to the Real Communist Government Nations. COMMUNIST PERSONS ARE FREE TO LEAVE AMERICA .

Why? Because the authorities are cowardly and stupid, and consider anti-white black racism okay in order to avoid confrontation and violence. They actually think that the rubbish of BLM and Antify will be placated by their do-nothing and cowardly lack of action. Meanwhile, maintaining laws and order is regarded by too many black Americans as racism when they are apprehended by police for breaking laws that endeavour to maintain civilized society.

“… about 20 people met at NE Sandy Boulevard and NE 57th Avenue around 10 p.m. at the site of a large bronze statue of George Washington. Some wrapped the statue’s head in an American flag and lit the flag on fire. Their numbers grew over the next hour until there were enough people to pull the statue to the ground.”

“A (TV station) News crew found the statue face down and covered in graffiti. Portland police arrived a short time later.”

So. Portland police had to have known of a riotous gathering engaging in arson and vandalism for at least an hour before the statue of Washington was toppled. When they got around to making a pro forma appearance the damage was done. If ever there was a police department that deserves to be (Rancid Neologism Warning.) defunded, it’s this useless bunch of do-nothings currently disgracing the Portland PD uniform. For literally months now, they’ve stood around just watching businesses being destroyed by arson, looting and vandalism – the same businesses whose taxes supported Portland’s city government including the PD.

This is happening ALL OVER the Country…. or haven’t you been watching ? The fact is the Police and their Local Mayor bosses support Antifa and BLM. They are just now having a bit of sticker shock because the groups the Police have supported are now Targeting them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The “Police” did nothing in Ferguson or Baltimore NOR during the Trump rallies in 2016 EITHER !!! Remember?

• No television.

• Remember how, subsequent to the OJ Simpson verdict, white rioters burned down their own neighborhoods, shot at police officers and looted, especially liquor stores?
Me neither.
