Removing the Confederate Flag....

 The Censoring of, HISTORY.
The 'politically correct' and totalitarian administration of the South Carolina legislature unanimously voted for and approved the removal of the 'Confederate Flag' from the State building today. And, this was done solely to appease the 'black community's' objection to this flag, because, it is claimed, that the flag continuously reminds them vividly, of the terrible 'slavery' that the blacks endured.

Every American serving soldier who is given a 'State Funeral', when they are buried, their coffin is always draped with the 'Stars and Stripes' flag. The official escort to the coffin always fire their rifles in the air, as a salute to their brave comrade; and, the 'flag' is then folded carefully and handed to the family or 'next of kin' in order that they may cherish that flag, in the memory of their son they have just buried. And, in recognition of the honour, that AMERICA has just paid to him.

This is AMERICA honouring that soldier who has given his life in the service of his country.

The Confederate Flag honours the Confederate soldiers that were killed in the 'Civil War' in exactly the same way. They, had all fought and had given their lives, in the Confederate cause. Their relatives and loved ones, surviving, today, are just as 'equally' entitled to the same respect, as any soldier whose coffin, has been draped with the 'Union' flag.

But, today, the entire South Carolina State administration 'spits on the graves' of every Confederate soldier, that was killed in that Civil War. To appease the, 'black community', they attempted to erase the history of 'slavery' in the absurd hope that, in removing and censoring a 'flag', HISTORY, can be erased from the mind.

So typical of the 'totalitarian censor' throughout the entire history of, Humankind:
 

CENSORSHIP

CENSORSHIP IS FUTILE – TRUTH WILL ALWAYS OUT IN THE END

Egypt

Akhenaten(or rarely: Ikhnaton) meaning Effective spirit of Aten first known as Amenhotep IV (sometimes read as Amenophis IV and meaning Amun is Satisfied),  Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt, is especially noted for attempting to compel the Egyptian population in the monotheistic worship of Aten. He ordered the defacing of Amun's (the previous rulers) temples throughout Egypt. He sent his army to destroy all trace of the previous religion, and it’s God. He attempted to remove ‘history’ from the mind. Akhenaten's reign (subject to the debates surrounding Egyptian chronology) are from 1353 BC-1336 BC or 1351 BC–1334 BC.

Russia

In Soviet Russia under the savage dictatorship and tyranny of Joseph Stalin Members of the Ruling Council (The Politburo) that fell out of favor with Stalin, were frequently subjected to ‘trumped up’ treason trials and were executed. After execution Stalin ordered the removal of their image from all official photographs. Their names faces and their very lives, excised from all view.

Great Britain

In the United Kingdom the British Government censored the book “Spycatcher”.

It banned the distribution and sale of the book throughout the UK despite its open sale overseas. Mr. Peter Wright wrote Spycatcher upon retiring from MI5 and, while residing in Australia; he attempted publication in 1985. The Government also attempted the banning of the book's publication in Australia, but lost that court action in 1987; it appealed against that decision, but lost again in June 1988

British newspapers attempting proper reportage of Spycatcher's principal allegations were served gagging orders; and on persisting, they were tried for contempt of court, with the charges later dropped. Throughout all this, quantities of the book were smuggled for secret sale in the U.K. In summer of 1987, a high court judge lifted the ban on newspaper reportage on the book, but, in late July, the Law Lords, again barred reportage of Wright's allegations. Eventually, in 1988, the book was cleared for legitimate sale when the Law Lords acknowledged that overseas publication meant it contained no secrets. Additionally, in November 1991, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the British Government had breached the European Convention of Human Rights in gagging its own newspapers. The British Government’s legal cost estimated was £250,000.

Censorship is Futile: “Truth will out in the End”

Today, nigh on 4000 plus years later, we know exactly what Pharaoh Akhenaton did. We know of all the ‘insignia’ that he had removed from the temples, we know all about the previous religion and it’s God, worshipped by Egyptian’s at that time. Everything that Akhenaton tried to censor has been revealed.

Today also we know all that Joseph Stalin did. We know the names, and faces, of all that he tried to eradicate from ‘Soviet History’. That history and all of those events live on.

We can also see and ‘appreciate’ the utter foolishness of a ‘British Government’ that at exorbitant costs, attempted to censor a book.

Censorship is Futile because it always fails.

But there are grave dangers in censorship; and in tolerating censorship as well. As the history of Nazi Germany has shown:

The Nazi concept of a ‘pure German race’ as expounded by Adolf Hitler in his book “Mein Kampf” and, as carried out by his henchman Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Luitpold Himmler; brought about in Nazi Germany hatred of the Jew. Intent on the destruction of both the Jew and, ‘Jewish’; Nazi’s burnt the books of Jewish writers and authors, on huge bonfires throughout Germany. The famed picture of the, ‘burning of the books’ at Nuremberg’ in order to eradicate the Jew; was the very beginning of the Holocaust.

Burning books, to, destroy ‘Ideas’, inevitably ends up, in the burning of Humankind.

Ideas of humankind can never be destroyed. Easily, you can destroy the human being; but, never, the Idea. Ideas always live on; transmitted, one, to, the other, throughout the whole of Humankind.

The Nazis tried their best to eradicate the Jew and ‘Jewish’ from Germany. But today both Jew and ‘Jewish’ lives on. And, we know, all that the Nazis did, in that terrible time. The censorship of ‘Ideas’ failing yet again.

CONCLUSION

THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 'CONFEDERATE FLAG' IN SPITE OF ALL 'POLITICALLY CORRECT CENSORSHIP', WILL ALWAYS FLY PROUDLY, FOR ALL CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS THAT WERE KILLED IN THAT WAR; NOTHING WHATSOEVER, WILL EVER DESTROY, OR REMOVE THAT MEMORY, FROM THE MIND.

 I spit on all those that tried to erase ‘HISTORY’ from our minds today
