| National Park Service announces it will restore, reinstate statue honoring Confederate General Albert Pike |
| 2025-08-05 |
| [FoxNews] The National Park Service announced Monday that it will be restoring and reinstating a statue of Confederate General Albert Pike. "The National Park Service announced today that it will restore and reinstall the bronze statue of Albert Pike, which was toppled and vandalized during riots in June 2020," the Monday announcement from the National Park Service read. "The restoration aligns with federal responsibilities under historic preservation law as well as recent executive orders to beautify the nation’s capital and re-instate pre-existing statues," it added. On June 19, 2020, also known as Juneteenth, the day that recognizes the end of slavery in the United States, protesters toppled the statue of Pike and set it on fire. Pike, who was a Confederate general in the Civil War, also served as an associate justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court. The vandalization occurred during the anti-racism riots that erupted across the country after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The announcement pointed to President Donald Trump’s executive orders on "Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful," and "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History." The orders call for the protection of American monuments, preservation of American history and heritage, and combating the "revisionist movement." In a statement to Fox News Digital, White House official Lindsey Halligan said, "Thank you to the National Park Service for announcing the restoration of the Albert Pike statute after it was unlawfully toppled and vandalized." Halligan added, "Erected in 1901 and funded entirely by private Masonic organizations, the statue stood for over a century as a tribute to Pike’s contributions as a scholar and Masonic leader. Such action aligns with President Trump’s Executive Order 14253, which calls for reinstating monuments removed under ideological pressure. It’s encouraging to see our National Park Service stand up for historical preservation, due process, and the rule of law." |

| #5 Pike, a 33 degree Mason, is an interesting fellow along the likes of Aleister Crowley. Hidden History: Pike's globalist military blueprint called for three world wars, and three major revolutions, to bring Weishaupt's revised version of the age-old Luciferian conspiracy to its final stage. In the 1860's he is recorded as saying his military programme might take one hundred years or a little longer to reach the day when those who direct the conspiracy AT THE TOP will crown their leader King-despot of the entire world, and impose a Luciferian totalitarian dictatorship upon what is left of the human race. #Illuminati |

| #3 History is important. That said, this was a statue of a Confederate general that was erected by a Masonic temple and was vandalized by BLM following the death of a drugged out dude in Minneapolis. The embers of my outrage are at handwarmer temperature at best. |

| #2 Possibly a bit more than a symbolic gesture. |
