Prattville Dragoons SCV Camp 1524 Commander's Column for June 2020 - Western Civilization and American Culture War Attacks


Just a few months ago I believed we may have weathered the worst of the attacks on our Confederate monuments but the latest developments proved how errant were my wishful  ruminations.   The tinder box has again been lit with the death of George Floyd while being detained by a Minneapolis police officer on the suspicion of using counterfeit money and having drugs in his possession.  The store clerk who called the police indicated that Floyd was acting intoxicated and the official autopsy showed he was high on fentanyl with methamphetamine and marijuana also in his system but the narrative is that he was unarmed and no mention of resisting arrest.  Floyd was incarcerated six times previously including armed robbery and holding a pregnant woman at gunpoint while they ransacked her home but the narrative is he embodies the victims of police brutality.   Certainly a martyr of the caliber of Nathan Hale or Sam Davis. 

And so the onslaught began anew as state and local governments eyed this as a prime opportunity to remove Confederate monuments and memorials to virtue signal their constituency and appease the rioters who otherwise were defacing and damaging these monuments in nationwide “peaceful protests”.   Those were no brainers, low hanging fruit but, of course the attacks did not stop there.  Instead, statues and monuments across the spectrum were targeted by the BLM and Antifa anarchists including, as smoke rose around the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial vandalized in Washington DC and, hold on, it gets more astounding, the Lincoln Memorial also sprayed with graffiti.   This is not about racial injustice - the police involved in that Floyd killing were arrested and are facing increasing charges.  This is about the overthrow of our American founding ideals, principles, values and our Judeo-Christian capitalist way of life.  As the SCV Charge states, the Confederacy and it’s soldier defenders embodied those most pure virtues and constitutional principles and so those are clear objects of derision in these woke days.   The progressive socialists can not win at the ballot box or by constructing fraudulent impeachment charges so they are instead destroying the economy and burning and looting their very neighborhoods to bring down our democratic republic, even attempting to scale the fencing around the White House, fanning the flames of a coup one way or another.

But these globalist anarchists’ activities are not bound by the porous US borders ; they are being instigated across the globe.  COVID19 restrictions were apparently lifted or disregarded to encourage a Black Lives Matter protest in Oslo Norway by thousands if you can wrap yourself around that picture (https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidnikel/2020/06/06/norway-fears-coronavirus-return-as-anti-racism-protest-fills-oslo-streets/#4fc171d6504c).  On the anniversary of D-day, Sir Winston Churchills statue in London was vandalized as he was labeled another racist who incidentally led his nation in its darkest hour to victory over Hitler’s Third Reich (https://www.foxnews.com/world/churchill-statue-vandalized-d-day-london).    This is nothing short of a choreographed effort to create a chaotic environment to push a globalist agenda to bring down western society and civilization.   This is not just about placating blacks by listening and convening a panel of Harvard elitists to educate us of our white privilege, nor about patronizing minority owned businesses.   This is about communities seriously considering defunding police forces.   This is about whites being forced into a deferential kneeling position and journalists attacked.   This is about a pallet of bricks left conveniently at a protest rallying point and Molotov cocktails being hurled at police cruisers.  This is about an armed mob seizing control of the Seattle (WA) city hall and a police precinct. This is about a civil war.  After decades of indoctrinating our children in agnostic revisionist state-run schools, we apparently have reached a tipping point.  The question is if and when those who recognize and treasure American exceptionalism, the shining city on a hill, will say enough and worsening events will come to a neighborhood near you.
