US District Judge Rossie Alston issued a temporary injunction Monday after receiving an urgent phone call saying that gravesites were being desecrated
But he toured the site and saw it being treated respectfully and allowed for the Confederate memorial to be removed on Tuesday
Officials began removing the structure on Wednesday in front of a handful of onlookers and a crane was used to lift the top of the Confederate memorial
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, who disagrees with the decision to remove the memorial, made arrangements for it to be moved to land owned by the Virginia Military Institute at New Market Battlefield State Historical Park in the Shenandoah Valley.
A reasonable choice, since the sculptor, Moses Ezekiel, was their first Jewish cadet and rose to sergeant in the battalion they sent to fight for the Confederacy in the Civil War.

War Declared: States Secede from the Union!
Following the election of President Abraham Lincoln, South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860, becoming the first state to do so. Other states soon followed suit and America would never be the same…
Abraham Lincoln was elected as the 16th president of the United States in 1860, and later inaugurated in 1861. His election was a sectional victory, winning none of the southern states. This was the final straw for many Southerners, as they feared that his presidency would result in the end of their way of life.
On December 20, 1860, South Carolina declared their secession from the United States of America. Within the next six months, ten other southern states would secede from the Union:
Mississippi - January 9, 1861
Florida - January 10, 1861
Alabama - January 11, 1861
Georgia - January 19, 1861
Louisiana - January 26, 1861
Texas - February 1, 1861
**April 12, 1861, the Civil War begins with the attack of Fort Sumter.**

^^^ Now that there is publicity, we will never know. It was some nameless, faceless bureaucrat, who would only make her name known if she could be sure that the New York Times would write wonderful things about her. Now that that hasn't happened, and now that there is pushback, the name will be buried deep in the bureaucratic muck and mire.

The racial animus of the collective power elites behind the Puppet-Show farce emanates from Champ and his minions, and the soul-less apparatchiks who constantly push racism to cow objections to obvious tyranny. It is a power tactic of the Marxists at home, and in Peking to harness the minority victimhood pressure-point and poke ignorant white-guilt endlessly. Race-baiting keeps an essential voting block tethered to the plantation of dependency that is the Demokrat Party coalition.
In this specific case however it is more personal. Somewhere deep in his musings, I think BHO muttered about this monument as a source of individual irritation and symbolic insult, perhaps even echoed by Big Mike. This is too obscure a place, too inside the beltway, to warrant such hatred on the national stage. This is meant to remedy a perceived insult to someone who was forced to be proximate to it during ceremonial events at a place full of dead people they secretly dispise!

i visited Shiloh several times. Ky brother vs brother. Once pictured myself in a charge on the hornets nest and throwing myself in a depression to escape gunfire. no hero I. The war was not necessary. Slavery is wrong and would have ended on economic grounds had South Carolina not fired on Ft Sumter.

[AFRICANEWS] The death toll resulting from the explosion and fire at Guinea's main fuel depot increased from 14 to 18 on Tuesday night.
The government announced the "minimum" reopening of downtown Conakry's administrations and the resumption of diesel supplies throughout the country on Wednesday.
The incident occurred on Sunday night in the port area of Kaloum, Conakry's administrative and business district, causing extensive material damage and halting economic activities.
Although the fire was contained and brought under control on Monday afternoon, smoke continued to emanate from the site, and firefighters were still actively working on Tuesday.
The fire inflicted significant damage, affecting buildings over a radius of more than a kilometre, including the one housing the trial related to the September 28, 2009 massacre.
Heavily deployed soldiers, wearing helmets and masks, enforced traffic restrictions in the fire-affected area on Tuesday.
The deserted port area prompted the local population to flee to the suburbs.
The public prosecutor initiated a judicial inquiry into the alleged "arson" to determine the causes of the fire and identify those responsible.

The IKEA thing is BS. Christmas merchandise has been here since late summer.
Retail purchasing is about six months of when it hits the shelves.
All of the summer merchandise has already been ordered and will hit the US in April. Winter merchandise will be ordered by late Spring for arrival in October.
IKEA might well have a different problem and is just using this as a cover story.

In his speech on the occasion of the 75th day of the Zionist aggression, he said that America is participating with the Zionist occupation army in the aggression against Gaza with its experts and advisors, and that Washington is supplying the occupation army with fighters and internationally banned weapons, including white phosphorus.
"America contributes and participates in what is happening in Gaza and has transferred all its bases in the region to support Israel, in addition to providing political support and objecting to any UN decision for a ceasefire," he added.
He affirmed that the American is a partner in the horrific crimes taking place in Paleostine, stressing that the American and "Israel" are both an arm of global Zionism that targets the Islamic world.
Sayyid Abdul-Malik explained that when the Zionist enemy fails in a field battle, it resorts to indiscriminate bombing of civilians with prohibited American bombs.
"America prevents any movement to protect Paleostinian civilians or any efforts to stop the aggression against Gaza, in an effort to provide Israel with sufficient conditions to commit more horrific crimes," he said.
He pointed out that the occupation army continues the severe siege, starvation, and prevents medicines from reaching civilians. "Nothing enters Gaza except after the approval of Washington and Tel Aviv."
The occupation army made hospitals a declared target for its military operations, noting that the occupation army kills, destroys and targets the maimed and sick in hospitals.

[Regnum] The Houthi movement, which controls northern Yemen, announced a general mobilization to further send fighters to the Gaza Strip. This was stated by the representative of the movement, member of the Ansar Allah Politburo Khuzam al-Assad in a conversation with RIA Novosti.
A modern version of the Children’s Crusade.
“As for the general popular mobilization in support of our people in the Gaza Strip, it has been launched in all governorates, training camps have been opened, tens of thousands of young people have volunteered to learn military skills, several groups have already graduated in various governorates of Yemen,” Al said. -Assad.
According to a spokesman for the Houthi movement, the recruits will become a force that is called upon to “support the people in the Gaza Strip, which are being subjected to genocide by Israel with the support of the United States.”
He also noted that this army will be able to take part in the conflict in the Gaza Strip if “there are conditions and opportunities for this.”
They could take Yemenia Airlines, the national airline of Yemen, though it’s not clear any maintenance has been done since 1977...
Earlier, in a conversation with news agency Regnum, orientalist Artyom Kirpichenok said that “many different surprises can be expected” from the Houthis. He noted that the Houthis recently expressed support for the population of the Gaza Strip, which is under Israeli fire. According to the expert, in recent weeks the Houthis, using missiles and commandos, have intercepted ships that either belong to Israeli companies or are carrying cargo to Israeli ports on the Red Sea.
...but mostly are ships unconnected to Israel that happen to be moving through the Bab el Mandeb Strait.
And this dealt a very serious blow to trade in the region. Many companies involved in the transportation of containers refused to deliver goods to Israel. Transportation prices have risen.
Before this, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin announced on December 18 the start of a multinational operation to protect the Red Sea amid Houthi attacks on merchant ships.
Off the coast of Yemen on December 14, the Houthis attacked a container ship of the Danish company Maersk in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, heading to Israel.
Israeli Ambassador to Moscow Alexander Ben Zvi said on November 1 that his country is not at war with Yemen.
The EU countries decided to take part in the American operation in the Red Sea. This was stated by the head of the EU foreign policy department, Josep Borrell, on the social network X.
“Member states have agreed to contribute to the US operation Prosperity Guardian through Operation Atalanta,” Borrell wrote.
The decision, as the head of European diplomacy explained, was made at an extraordinary meeting, which he convened personally.
According to Borrell, the actions of Yemen's Houthis are irresponsible and pose a threat to shipping in the Red Sea.
As Regnum reported, Operation Guardian of Prosperity will take place in the Red Sea after Houthi attacks on merchant ships. This was announced by Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin.
In early December, the Houthis attacked the American warship USS Carney with missiles and drones in the Red Sea. According to UK-based maritime security company Ambrey, the cargo ship was damaged in a drone strike off the northern Yemeni port of Hodeidah.

One of the imams stated that Zhuravel’s act caused him moral harm.
Your attitude causes moral harm to the universe, which is, of course, your point.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, on December 12, imams from Chechnya, who are victims in the case of Nikita Zhuravel, stated that the burning of the Koran insulted them and all Muslims. One of the imams complained that watching a video of the burning of the Koran caused his blood pressure to spike.
On November 2, the court in Grozny began to consider the case of Volgograd resident Nikita Zhuravel, accused in the case of burning the Koran. He is accused of violating the right to freedom of conscience and religion and hooliganism . On October 13, in court, Zhuravel apologized to Muslims for his action, but admitted guilt only in the very fact of burning the Koran, saying that he had no motive for gross violation of public order. You can read more about the Zhuravel case in the Caucasian Knot information “ The beating of Nikita Zhuravel: why did Kadyrov’s men need to publish the video .”

The Chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, transferred the Zhuravel case to Chechnya, responding to the demands of the residents of the republic, who considered themselves the injured party. On May 27, Zhuravel was taken to the Grozny pre-trial detention center. Vladimir Putin announced on June 13 that Zhuravel would serve his sentence in one of the Muslim regions.
[IsraelTimes] Tehran protests decision by Swedish appeals court to uphold jail term handed to Hamid Noury last year over ’grave breaches of international humanitarian law and murder’
Iran’s foreign ministry summoned on Wednesday Sweden’s charge d’affaires to protest the life sentence handed down to a former Iranian prison official over mass executions in 1988.
On Tuesday, a Swedish appeals court upheld the jail term handed down against Hamid Noury, 62, in July last year "for grave breaches of international humanitarian law and murder."
"It is regrettable that the Swedish court, without considering the standards of a fair trial, decided to issue such a destructive verdict," foreign ministry front man Nasser Kanani said in a statement.
He condemned the verdict as "fundamentally unacceptable" and said Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... would "use all legal avenues at its disposal" to secure Noury’s release.
The foreign ministry later on Wednesday summoned Sweden’s envoy to Tehran to voice its "strong protest" against the verdict.
It slammed the Swedish court for citing "false claims" in its verdict.
Noury was arrested at Stockholm airport in November 2019 after Iranian dissidents in Sweden filed police complaints against him.
The case relates to the killing of at least 5,000 prisoners across Iran to avenge attacks carried out by the rebel People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) at the end of the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-88.
Noury had worked as an assistant prosecutor in a prison near Tehran at the time, but argued that he was on leave during the period in question.
Sweden has tried Noury under its principle of universal jurisdiction, which allows it to try a case regardless of where the alleged offense took place.
There have been concerns that the case could have repercussions for the fate of Swedish prisoners in Iran, including EU diplomat Johan Floderus, who has been held for more than 600 days. Floderus, 33, has been charged with the capital offense of "corruption on earth." He was detained at Tehran airport in April 2022 on his return from a trip abroad while Noury’s original trial was underway.
Another Swedish citizen, dual national Ahmad Reza Jalali, is already on death row in Iran after he was detained in 2016 and sentenced to death on espionage charges.
Swedish media have speculated about the possibility of a prisoner swap between Sweden and Iran. Foreign Minister Tobias Billstrom has declined to comment.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The female hostage who was seen screaming for her life as she was driven towards Gaza on the back of a motorbike on October 7 was likely kidnapped by Palestinian civilians who followed Hamas terrorists into Israel.
The world watched in horror as video emerged of Noa Argamani, 26, sitting on the back of a motorbike, her face etched with fear as she screamed 'Don't kill me' to the men surrounding her.
As the motorbike sped towards Gaza, a desperate Noa stretched her arms towards her helpless boyfriend Avi Nathan, who had also been captured at the Nova music festival on October 7. Noa and her boyfriend have not been seen since.
Avi Nathan was left behind in the desert. He too is missing.
For more than two months, Noa's family have been helplessly waiting for news that their beloved daughter had survived the Hamas attack and would be among the hostages who have been freed so far in prisoner exchanges.
But their anguish has been made worse after it emerged that Noa could have been abducted not by Hamas, but by a mob of Palestinian civilians that swept into Israel hours after the initial attack by the terrorists.
Analysis of text messages, phone records, satellite images and interviews points to Noa being taken on a motorbike by Palestinian civilians who had followed Hamas terrorists into Israel, reports NBC News.
This could be why Noa has not been released alongside the more than 100 female and child hostages during last month's ceasefire - Hamas could have no idea where she is if she is being held by civilians.
For months, her family and the world had believed Noa had been taken to Gaza by Hamas terrorists.
But analysis of the sun and shadows that appear in the video of their capture, during which the couple are surrounded by men, suggest that they were kidnapped several hours into the attack, the news outlet reports.
This also points to the theory that the couple were taken into Gaza by Palestinian men who travelled from Gaza to Israel several hours after the dawn attack began.
Her family and friends are desperate for Noa to be found - not least because her mother Liora Argamani is currently battling stage four brain cancer.
They had some hope that she was still alive after they saw a video, posted on October 7, of Noa sitting on a sofa drinking from a water bottle while two people with bare feet were seen walking behind her.
[IsraelTimes] The ’Desert Frontier’ company has been accused of several attacks on Paleostinian civilians in the Jordan Valley region, where it was tasked with tackling smuggling
The Israel Defense Forces recently halted the operational activities of a controversial unit implicated in multiple incidents of abuse against Paleostinian civilians in the West Bank.
The unit, called "Sfar Hamidbar," or Desert Frontier in English, was known for recruiting so-called "hilltop youth" — krazed killer settler activists involved in building illegal outposts in the West Bank and frequently alleged to be involved in violence against Paleostinians.
Sfar Hamidbar has seen several incarnations, but was most recently established as a company in 2020 and assigned with tracking operations to help combat drug and weapons smuggling by Bedouins in the West Bank.
Together with the Lions of the Valley battalion it is subordinate to, the unit has been credited with helping to seize hundreds of illegal rifles smuggled into the West Bank from Jordan and conducting arrest operations in the Jericho district, according to a profile of the unit by the Ynet news site in January.
But numerous complaints arose that the unit was also involved in violent mostly peaceful attacks against Paleostinian civilians, including a report in October by Haaretz that soldiers from the unit had beaten and severely abused Paleostinian residents of the Wadi al-Seeq village west of Jericho in the Jordan Valley region.
Sfar Hamidbar has also been implicated in alleged incidents of harassment in Mu’arrajat, al-Beida and other small Paleostinian dwellings in the Jordan Valley in the last six months.
The radical settler activists were reportedly recruited to the unit as part of an effort by the IDF and settlement leaders to direct their energies in a more disciplined and lawful manner.
Dror Etkes, a longtime activist against Israel’s control of the West Bank and Israeli settlements there, said the unit had patrolled both the South Hebron Hills area and the Jordanian border as part of its anti-smuggling operations, but that it mixed these duties with harassment of the local Paleostinian population.
He noted that many of the illegal herding outposts established by hilltop youth and krazed killer settlers are located in these regions, and said that the soldiers recruited to this unit were "serving their own interests" when harassing Paleostinians in order to increase Jewish control of territory in Area C of the West Bank, where Israel exercises full security and civilian authority.
According to the Ynet report, some of the settler youth recruited to the unit had criminal records and were known to the Shin Bet domestic intelligence service, thus requiring special approval by the Shin Bet and police in order to be able to enlist in the IDF.
Aviad Frija, the IDF reservist who rubbed out Israeli civilian Yuval Castleman at the scene of a terror attack in Jerusalem, served in Sfar Hamidbar during his IDF service as a conscript.
The IDF has halted the operational activities of Sfar Hamidmar until a final decision can be made.
[IsraelTimes] IDF Central Command issues security guidelines for Israeli businesses in the West Bank that wish to allow employees to return to work; Ben Gvir demands decision be reversed
Between 8,000 and 10,000 Paleostinian laborers from the West Bank will return to their jobs in Israeli West Bank settlements and businesses in the coming days following a decision by the Israel Defense Forces Central Command.
On Wednesday, a request put forward by Israeli employers to allow Paleostinians to return to work in settlements was accepted by the IDF, albeit with tighter security conditions than had been in place before October 7, Hebrew media outlets reported.
