There was a Healing after the Civil War USA.

Did You Know?

150 Years after the Civil War

 

Art Destruction The Marxist Playbook

 

Modern Art became the only art acceptable after the Riots that Destroyed Artwork depicting Historic Figures.
Destroying Art-Classic Sculpture is like throwing paint on a Picasso.
My Friend was a Famous Sculptor, Nikolai Shmatko, who died a few years ago. We spoke via translation,… https://t.co/xj9kzKZyYY

Destroying Artwork depicting History is in the Karl Marx Playbook

Instead of Destroying Historical Artwork @VP Teach History.
Add Monuments for Widows & Orphans, Starving, Homeless on Both Sides. History Lesson: Neither Side were Saints. General Robert E Lee Negotiated Surrender.

Travelogue for the Universe: The Night They Drove old Dixie down

Posting a link to a blog post I did awhile ago,

When the Legal Status was pending a Court case about 

The Rare and Magnificent,

Much Maligned,

Likely Misunderstood 

Statue of General Robert E Lee. 

He’s going, going, gone.

Travelogue for the Universe: The Night They Drove old Dixie down:   Was dog tired yesterday after a decent day that included hugs from family we had not seen since Christmas. Posted the first video (below) ...

 Piecing together Memories and Places,

Our Move was quite disruptive for my scarred cognition.

It’s been 2 years here.It’s Good for Us.

That doesn’t make Life Easy.

It never is.

Today, 

A Memory of a Sculptor, an Artist, Nik Shmatko, Rest In Peace.

Who did Stunning Sculptures of 

President Trump and the Strikingly Beautiful Melania Trump.

In a different dimension, perhaps, Democrats would have accepted the 

USA 🇺🇸 Election of 2016.

Instead, Symbols like this Sculpture got no press, no adoration, no ceremony, no offer to sponsor. It coincidentally happened that More Sculptures would be Disrespected,

In the case of Robert E Lee,

His Statue defaced. City Threatened to tear down. But Lee is buried there.

No one saw a statue of Richmond after it was completed gutted, burned to the ground, women, children, starving and afraid.

There is no such statue.

History Cancelled

Unity, Healing

Isn’t it possible,
That at another Moment in Time,
Our Nation came back Together,
Patched our Differences and
Found out We are not so Different
After all.
Don’t tear down #Statues
If they’re Torn Down,
Stop it. Stop this Destruction of #History https://t.co/PeHo6IVuVb
