Criminalizing White History

The effort to criminalize White History continues unabated as the city of Albany takes down the statue of another great White man. They say the founders were racist and of course they were, they were a squared away bunch, and had not been drenched in a hundred years of a sickening humanitarian liberalism. They had seen the negro menace up close and were not going to surrender their new nation to the predations of a savage people. But now some uppity black teens have petitioned the mayor and screamed "racism" so a statue that has been in the center of the city for a hundred years will soon be removed to cold storage. They have created a "monuments commission" and no more chilling name can be thought of, so you can be sure that in the capital of New York the last remaining vestiges of the memory of the Whtie race will vanish forever.

***

This witches brew had been brewing for three years and those uppity black teens told the Mayor she was foot dragging on the White Genocide. How it came to pass that some callow little negros came to pass judgement on a magisterial White man is a tale in itself. Time was when they would not have been allowed in town after sunset and during the day they would have had to have their hands up. But now they issue a "statement" about the "wrongs of slavery" and the cowering White lady in the mayor's office snaps her fingers and--presto!--down goes another White man.

"A statue of Maj. Gen. Philip Schuyler outside City Hall is set to come down in a matter of weeks (by April 2023), city officials confirmed Friday. Plans to remove the statue of Schuyler — known as a Revolutionary War hero but also an enslaver of Black people — began in June 2020 in the wake of the death of George Floyd, when Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan ordered the statue be removed by the city Department of General Services as soon as possible. Her executive order stated it would be given to a museum or other accredited institution."

Essentially Schuyler will become a museum piece, to be hemmed in by dogma and text written by professorial slime. They will give a cursory nod to his real accomplishments (helping to create a White Nation on a hostile continent) and then rip in to him good and hard. And then when the dust settles and all is forgotten (and the lessons of White evil well promulgated and learned) they will cart him off in a packing crate to be pulverized in to dust.

"Renewed plans to remove the statue nearly three years later stem from a report by students with the Young Abolitionist Leadership Institute at the Undeground Railroad Musuem (YALI). The report recommends the city form a commission to determine the future site of the statue. In the meantime, the city will remove the statue in the coming weeks and place it in storage."

A report? Isn't that a bit official and exalted a word to describe some incontinent words scribbled by some teenage negros? Yes, it is. Those little negros have been taught well by their Jewish preceptors to scream about slavery and "human chattel" and regurgitate the fodder and put in on a letterhead and the next thing you know a great hero of our past gets deep sixed. Yet their reference to abolitionism is not wholly misplaced. Those crazed lunatics and moral banshee zealots in many ways were the precursors and foul example of today's wokeism, they laid the seed of the siege of our people in proclaiming an abstract so-called truth to outweigh the future of the race.

"The report, titled, What To Do with Phil? – A 2022 Report from the Young Abolitionist Leadership Institute (YALI), was created by five Albany High School students who met between October 2021 and June 2022 with two adult facilitators. While the report notes Schuyler's accomplishments as a Revolutionary War general and politician, his legacy is still marked by owning human beings, it says."

What to do with Phil? That's a little familiar of an address for a great White man coming from some callow little spooks. Time was when that kind of effrontery would have been met with swift and severe reprisals, they would have been put in their place. Now of course they can disrespect him a million ways to Sunday and control his fate with impunity. It should be Mr. Schuyler to them but now they can just shuck and jive in the face of their betters.

"As a man heavily invested in the institution of enslavement YALI teens maintained that he was able to accomplish what he is remembered for because he depended upon those enslaved to him to carry out those tasks that freed him up to focus on other matters, the report states. His accomplishments were possible because he stood on the shoulders of those who were enslaved to him."

This is a Rube Goldberg version of the blacks really built America canard. The idea that Whites could not have got along just fine (and better really) without the presence of former denizens of the dark continent is so preposterous as to call for no denial. Perhaps some menial work might have gone undone for a while but the miniscule adjustments would have been made. But fight in a war? Plan a battle? Cause a revolution? This was solely the work of the White man and would have come off irrespective of anything else, let alone some inept blacks lingering about flashing toothy grins to Massa.

"What we cannot fathom is why the city has been unable to put up any kind of signage near the statue — perhaps on the sidewalk in front of City Hall — explaining Gen. Schuyler's accomplishments as well as the more odious aspects of his life."

They love the idea of the accompanying text carefuly crafted by some academic slime, text which places the great White men of the past in the "proper historical context." They know that as a stand alone the majestic and beautiful statue will inspire dreams of greatness and pride in the White people who see it. They will feel connected in an unbroken chain back to those ancestors who strode the earth in those days, and will redouble their efforts to live up to their example. But like vandals who cannot create timeless art slash graffiti across paintings or splash red paint on our statues these scoundrels will write some words which slander the one addressed. You can be sure that the signage they have in mind would trot out all the bromides about enslavement and racism which, short of removing the object altogether, constitutes the sum and substance of their paltry world view. It's a slender reed to hang your hat on and it's a poor thing but it is theirs.

"The decision to remove the statue follows a unanimous vote in December 2022 by the Albany City Board of Education to rename the Phillip J. Schuyler Achievement Academy (which serves a predominantly Black student body) as Roots Academy at West Hill following growing frustrations by students and staff with keeping Schuyler's name."

When I hears "Roots" in the context of black school I conjure up images of Kunta Kinte and OJ Simpson running in a loin cloth in as a mandingo warrior; that television series which along with the Holocaust series in the late 1970s did so much to weaken the fighting resolve of the White race. But suffice it to say they are clearing the decks of White men in Albany and White resolve, but you can be sure of one thing at that newly named school achievement will not be their strong suit.

Schuyler isn't one of the marquee names of the American Founding but if you read deeply at all in that history his name crops up all over the place. He came from a prominent and long standing Dutch family whose history is intertwined with the history of New York and America itself. Safe to say he his accomplishments are well worthy of respect, admiration and, most of all, remembrance. His daughter married Alexander Hamilton, he was a state assemblyman and a member of the Continental Congress. Before that he fought in the French and Indian Wars alongside George Washington, in the Revolutionary war he planned the invasion of Quebec and the defense of Saratoga. These are milestones in our history and he was at the heart of them. When our enemies give their perfunctory nod to his "accomplishments" this is to what they are referring though really they are glossing over them to get to what they consider the lede (but which is really only the small change of life): he owned slaves.

And so he did. What of it?

Back when the monument went up in 1925 it was the very height of the White world in America. The year before two epochal laws had passed, and Immigration Act in Washington aimed at keeping out more Jews; and a racial integrity Act in Virginia aimed at outlawing race mixing and keeping our race pure. The Klan hasdhit its second peak and eugenics was going strong--for all anyone knew it was bright skies ahead. Albany itself was one percent black (which, to be fair, is still one percent too many) and in the city there were over 11,000 Members of the Ku Klux Klan. That is when the statue of Albany's native son and Revolutionary War hero went up there would have been no reason whatsoever to suppose that it ever might come down. Such a thing would have seemed outlandish.

Slavery is the sticky wicket and tar baby of American History. For the Jews, the blacks and the left in general it's the cash cow and mother's milk, the slop trough, and the gift that keeps on giving. What the Holocaust is for the Jews (a cash cow and slop trough) slavery is for the blacks: they just say the word and pull the handle and everything comes up cherries. For the right slavery is a sticky wicket and tar baby. It goes against the grain of the founders were not racist bromides, but few who have thought about it believe that. The founders (obviously and truly) believed that there were innate differences between black and Whites that made the Whites superior (obviously). Their only even remotely plausible fallback position is what you might call more perfect unionism, that the founders were flawed but they came up with ideals that when later men picked up the cudgel were realized, or are being realized. But this is fooling no one, if your premise is that slavery is an unmitigated evil ("if slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong") then whatever else they did is by the board. For those who have been hypnotized in the school of Hitler is Satan they don't care that he built the autobahn or goosed the economy

How then to defend the founders?

Here's how you don't do it.

In order to save the Schuyler statue the President of the Society of Cincinnati sent an open letter to the Mayor of Albany. In it he reveals himself as a probably well-meaning patriot and conservative but from time to time it is good to recall that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. His chances of success with this line of reasoning are somewhere between slim and none, tending towards none.

"It is important to understand the history of slavery in New York (where the legislature passed an act for the gradual abolition of slavery in 1799), the lives of the people who were enslaved, and the involvement of Philip Schuyler and other wealthy New Yorkers with slavery. But it is also important to understand Philip Schuyler’s important contributions to the American Revolution, the new nation and his region of upstate New York."

You can see right off the bat that this letter is going to reek of guilt. It will ask for forgiveness and redemption but none will be forthcoming. What the Society of Cincinnati does not comprehend is that in the religion of the Jewish Ideology George Floyd is Jesus and Adolf Hitler is Satan, and the Original Sin is being White. But unlike in the redemptive universe of Christianity where sin can be atoned for by the sacrifice of Jesus, in the new religion the sin of Slavery, of Jim Crow, of colonialism, of racism, and of Whiteness, these sins are so never ending that there can be no expiation.

So you should not even try. Luckily you don't need to.

"Philip Schuyler and the heroes of the Revolution are dishonored by the mayor’s order, and frankly, we are all diminished by it. The Revolution in which Philip Schuyler fought has benefited us all. It led, by painful and difficult steps, to the abolition of slavery and the extension of freedom. The injustices of the past were too great to be corrected in a generation. The progress of freedom has been difficult, and its blessings have not been spread equally."

This is mewling nonsense that make one want to puke. At this point he's actually pleading, he says that Schuyler was a good man, and a hero, but he lived in a time when the magnitude of evil was go great not even such heroes could overcome it. Well, I must say, that sounds pretty bad--if you believe it. Then he pens the ludicrous proposition that the revolution "led" to abolition when of course it did nothing of the sort. It certainly did not lead to the violation of all they held dear, when a government and an Army tyrannized sovereign states about their particular domestic arrangements. He seems to put the founding and the revolution on a spectrum of redemption where those men foresaw black and White equality though (he laments) even now the blessings of equality have not been gone to everyone in equal measures. Which reminds you that if a Jew is one who cries out as he strikes you then a conservative is one who says sorry when he's struck.

"It was an imperfect nation. Grotesque injustices remained. General Schuyler was not perfect, but he and the women and men who struggled with him laid the foundation of our freedom in a time of darkness and oppression. They did not finish demolishing the vast framework of injustice they inherited. That has been the task of subsequent generations, including our own."

He doesn't know it but he's making the case for removal better than those little negros. For here is the thing about conservatives, when it come to the great divide of us against them they are on the other side. Just because they are issuing a minority report from the other side does not mean they are on our side, in fact it proves the opposite.

***
The next step is where they are going to put it. They can ring it with a fence which says High Voltage: Don't Touch!, or they can put a sign around his neck listing his so called crimes, or they can blow it up, or melt it down, or they can put it in an attic or basement. They have even ordained a group with the ominous sounding name of the Monuments Commission and when it comes to White history nothing good can come from any commission.

"Some claim that Schuyler was fighting for freedom, but the question must be asked, freedom for whom?"

What a ridiculous question, and of course they know the answer: he was fighting for freedom for White people. No one else can be trusted with it and, anyways, who else's freedom would he be fighting for? The blacks? All human kind? Not on your life. And the sooner we celebrate this rather than view it as some kind of mark of shame the sooner we can pass over to the other side of this equation.

"Mayor Sheehan's administration says it has been working with the Underground Railroad Education Center to come up with a final plan to move the statue, perhaps to the Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site in Albany or the Schuyler family burial site at Albany Rural Cemetery — two locations that were suggested when the mayor issued her order."

But how long will those sites be there? By the logic of it they will have to go too. The home and estate of a slaver? They will want to raze the buildings and salt the land.

"The question about what to do with Phil is not just about the Philip Schuyler statue. It is a question about how does New York State, and in turn its capital city, admit to its less than savory past, own up to its investment in the institution of enslavement, and work diligently to confront and change the contemporary impact of the legacy of the institution of enslavement."

How do you defend slavery? You don't. Slavery was the worst thing that ever happened in history, bringing blacks from Africa to this continent when they would never have been able to make it here on their own. But make no mistake the great White men we are talking about were the victims of this too, the ones who brought the slaves here (the real criminals) were the Transatlantic oligarchs, ie, the Jews and their operatives. Without this desecration of our land it would have been the Europeans taking out the Indians and that would have settled the matter. No Civil War and no loss of 600,000 good White men dead, and several hundred thousand more incapacitated. So there would have been no labor shortage twenty years hence and no mass immigration, and so no mass of Jews. And with no negros to use as "moral" leverage, just a nearly hundred percent White country well in to the 20th Century, the fatal weakening of our race would not only never have occurred, but never would have been dreamed of. Defend slavery? No. One does not defend a blunder even if one does not recognize it as a crime. For the only morality is the morality of the climber on a crag--one weak moment and it's over.

A nearly century-old statue of the Revolutionary War hero Gen. Philip Schuyler was removed from Albany city hall Saturday morning (June 10 2023). A moving crew took nearly three hours to haul the statue off its base and load it onto a trailer. It's now destined for an undisclosed storage facility until the city can decide what to do with it.

Philip Schuyler was born on November 11, 1733 in Albany, New York to parents Johannes “John” Schuyler Jr. and Cornelia Van Cortlandt. Schuyler’s family migrated from Amsterdam in 1650 and were related to the families of the old Dutch aristocracy. Schuyler’s second great-grandfather was the first mayor of Albany, New York, the place of his birth.

Philip Schuyler began his military service during the French and Indian War as a captain and was later promoted to major. He partook in the battles of Lake George, Oswego River, Ticonderoga, and Fort Frontenac.

After his first stretch in the military, Schuyler ventured into politics. He began his tenure as a New York State Assemblyman in 1768 and served until 1775 when he was selected as a delegate to the second Continental Congress in May of that year. On June 19, 1775, he was commissioned as one of only four major generals in the Continental Army. He established his headquarters in Albany, NY and began planning an invasion of Canada. Early into his campaign he was plagued with a medical condition that caused command to be deferred to General Richard Montgomery. After leaving his regiment he returned to Fort Ticonderoga and then later to his hometown of Albany. He remained there for the winter of 1775 to 1776 where he collected supplies and forwarded them to Canada. He also aided the American effort in subduing British forces in the Mohawk Valley region of Western New York.

Schuyler’s original plan to invade Canada fell short upon the death of General Montgomery and the Patriot force’s failure to capture Quebec. Upon the American troops’ retreat to Crown Point and the evacuation of Fort Ticonderoga, General Horatio Gates attempted to claim precedence over Schuyler and sought Schuyler’s dismissal from service. The matter was taken up in front of Congress and Schuyler was superseded in August of 1777. Schuyler requested a trial in military court to prove his case. Schuyler was acquitted on all charges in 1778, but his reputation was still damaged. He resigned from military service in April of 1779.

Upon his departure from military service, he reentered politics and served first as a delegate from New York to the Continental Congress from 1779 to 1781 and then three terms in the New York State Senate from 1781 to 1791. He served a term as a United States Senator from New York but lost his seat to Aaron Burr, who’s campaign was backed by enemies of Schuyler. Alexander Hamilton was enraged by the Schuyler’s loss, as Hamilton backed his campaign due to his support of New York ratifying the Federal constitution.

In addition to being a political ally of Schuyler’s, Alexander Hamilton married Schuyler’s daughter, Elizabeth, in 1780. Once Hamilton regained control of New York State politics, Schuyler won back his seat in the United States Senate from Aaron Burr in 1797. Schuyler served only a few years of his term before resigning due to poor health. Philip Schuyler died on November 18, 1804.

A great statue to a great White man!

In order to save the Schuyler statue the President of the Society of Cincinnati sent an open letter to the Mayor of Albany... "It is important to understand the history of slavery in New York ..." Blah, blah, blah!

You can see right off the bat that this letter is going to reek of guilt. It will ask for forgiveness and redemption but none will be forthcoming. What the Society of Cincinnati does not comprehend is that in the religion of the Jewish Ideology George Floyd is Jesus and Adolf Hitler is Satan, and the Original Sin is being White...

I was told years ago that I was eligible to become a member of the Society of Cincinnati, having an ancestor who was an American officer during the Revolutionary War. I had no interest in that and a cousin claimed the slot. https://pasocietyofthecincinnati.org/me ... %20service.

Reading this, I'm glad now that I didn't pursue that. I don't recall who that ancestor of mine was, but I see on the list of Revolutionary officers, all White I presume, who are "not currently represented in the Society" is a Lieutenant Colonel William Williams.https://pasocietyofthecincinnati.org/wp ... ociety.pdf

Perhaps I should perhaps look into this since my cousin who filled the eligibility is now deceased. If I'm still eligible, maybe I could keep the Society honest in matters of race? ;o}
