The views of the Authors are not necessarily the views of Enigmose.
In Washington, D.C.’s Lafayette Square during the Left’s latest attempt to create “Year Zero” by erasing American history, the less-than-peaceful protestors endeavored to create a “Black House Autonomous Zone” (BHAZ). As is their destructive wont, they defaced St. John’s Episcopal Church and a statue of President Andrew Jackson. Before they could topple the statue of Jackson, however, D.C. police intervened and, using pepper spray and other tactics, pushed the crowd back.
The statue is safe for now; and some protestors should become quickly acquainted with the Veterans Memorial Preservation and Recognition Act which, as Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) was kind enough to remind these “criminal masterminds,” carries a 10-year sentence for destroying a statue of a veteran on federal property. In his own tweet, President Donald Trump also cited this federal law and urged the vandals to “Beware!”
Should these lawless desecrators demur, the president later tweeted that he has
authorized the Federal Government to arrest anyone who vandalizes or destroys any monument, statue or other such Federal property in the U.S. with up to 10 years in prison, per the Veteran’s Memorial Preservation Act, or such other laws that may be pertinent… This action is taken effective immediately, but may also be used retroactively for destruction or vandalism already caused. There will be no exceptions!
Clearly, the president’s message comes not only in response to the vandals, but also in response to the president’s populist critics who have chided him for appearing weak in the face of the lawlessness. These populist critics may not find the president’s actions to be enough, for he is not sending in the federal troops to put an end to the disorder.
Understandably disgusted by the vandals’ ahistorical Philistinism, these populists ought to look beyond this latest attack on America’s rule of law and legacy, and view the protestors’ effort to establish a BHAZ outside the gates of the White House in a larger strategic context. Kurt Schlichter has done precisely that:
Not doing what the enemy wants is not ‘not doing anything . . . ’ I want to win. Not just the election, though we must win that. I want to win the whole cultural war and burn Marxism to the ground. And doing that means cold calculated ruthlessness, not mindless reaction to jerks trying to get our eyes off the prize.
It is no coincidence the Left tried to create the BHAZ at the very time, as Schlichter notes, “Seattle’s garbage mayor [a.k.a., Jenny Durkan] is pulling the plug on the Summer of Love 2.” The president did not send federal troops into Seattle to disperse the CHAZ. That task is finally and rightfully being done by that municipality. Consequently, with the CHAZ imploding under the weight of its own violent inanity into a national laughing stock, the Left returned to Lafayette Square to try to incite a more direct confrontation with President Trump.
The Left wants our legacy and social media littered with propaganda they can use to project their own chaos and violence onto President Trump and his supporters. Instead, in the nascent BHAZ, the municipal jurisdiction of Washington, D.C. dispersed the disorderly—not federal troops. Once more, a president not known for restraint showed it; and refused to give the Left what it wanted—the manufacture of chaos and violence they and their media enablers and abettors could weaponize to attack Trump.

We’re In A Cultural Civil War. It’s Time For Conservatives To Fight Back
Black Lives Matter movement is not a majority. It’s radical agenda can be resisted and defeated. But not if ordinary Americans stay silent.
The daily spectacle of angry mobs pulling down statues, taunting police, attacking passersby, and taking over entire city blocks makes it seem like Black Lives Matter is a mass movement, that pretty much everyone except knuckle-dragging Trump supporters is on board with its radical agenda, and that the new national consensus is that you’re either anti-racist or racist.
Under these conditions, many ordinary Americans feel disoriented and discouraged. Confusion abounds. When did it become racist to like the national anthem and Mount Rushmore? At what point did we decide George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were moral monsters, or that all police are racist thugs? Why are rioters and looters allowed to terrorize people and destroy property with impunity? Why aren’t local elected leaders enforcing the law? Read More
Behind the Veil of the Protest Movement, the War on the American People Is Gaining Pace
It is worth noting that the one institution seemingly immune from this purge is the Democratic Party, which served as the political wing of the Confederacy and, subsequently, the KKK
“This is not a momentary civil disturbance. This is a serious, and highly organized political movement…It is deep and profound and has vast political ambitions. It is insidious, it will grow. It’s goal is to end liberal democracy and challenge western civilization itself. .This is an ideological movement… Even now, many of us pretend this is about police brutality. …We think we can fix it by regulating chokeholds or spending more on de-escalation training. We’re too literal and good-hearted to understand what’s happening. …But we have no idea what we are up against. ..These are not protests. This is a totalitarian political movement and someone needs to save the country from it.” Tucker Carlson
Tucker Carlson is right, the protests and riots are not a momentary civil disturbance. They are an attack the Constitutional Republic itself, the heart and soul of American democracy. Read More
