Timber!

Statue toppled - This is/was the only confederate monument in DC, located across from a police station.

The statue stood near Judiciary Square, and was set on fire Friday evening. The sculpture was erected in 1901 and was DC’s only outdoor Confederate statue. Members of the DC Council have been trying to remove the statue of Pike since 1992.

Albert Pike (December 29, 1809 – April 2, 1891) was an American author, poet, orator, jurist and prominent member of the Freemasons. He was also a senior officer of the Confederate States Army who commanded the District of Indian Territory in the Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War.

Albert Pike was the head of the Scottish rite freemasons in all of america. After Lincoln was assasinated his vp Andrew Johnson (a Democrat) became president. He was a lower level freemason and was given the initiation rites in the whitehouse to bump him up to a 32nd degree freemason. He then sprang his superior freemason (Pike) from prison.

San Fagciscans pulled down their Ulysses S Grant statue, a Francis Scott Key monument, and one of Saint Junipero Serra yesterday.

Obviously Grant was the General that led the Union army over the Confederacy so that makes a lot of sense

Serra was the Catholic's first Saint so won't be long until they start entering the churches and temples to rip them apart.

This is an attack on the nation's history because nothing is meaningful to a Leftist except men having periods. These state govt's need to get off their asses and take these fuckers down

These Liberals tearing down these statues think they are going to be honored and celebrated for attacking America. We need to make sure something like that can never happen.
