Political Necrophagy.

Reframing Confederate statues as "emblems of oppression" rather than as the rather conventional attempt of one group of Americans to honor fathers and grandfathers who died in a "great civil war" is obviously a part of the grand game of "disinformation" which has been played against America for the last 70 years.  The effort is obviously intended to plant in American minds the notion that America is corrupt, evil and illegitimate.

This is what Romanian spy chief Ion Pacepa referred to as "political necrophagy."

//Political necrophagy—blaming and condemning one’s predecessor in office—is a dangerous game. It hurts the country’s national pride, and it usually turns against its own user. When Khrushchev died, Brezhnev decreed that his predecessor had badly harmed the country’s historical respect for the Kremlin, and that he was not worthy of being buried in the Kremlin Wall next to the other former leaders. The Soviet government even refused to pay for Khrushchev’s gravestone.//

Political necrophagy was the principle behind the attacks on Pope Pius XII for being an alleged "Nazi sympathizer."

"There is no hard evidence that Cornwell was connected with the Russian intelligence services; their archives are still sealed—some 29 billion pages are hidden away in them. Nevertheless, Cornwell resorted to political necrophagy. He used Khrushchev-style tactics of framing and dezinformatsiya to distort the historical truth about Pius XII. The flyleaf to the cover of the American edition boldly declares a hard-hitting new war on the memory of Pius XII..."

And it has been injected into American politics:

"Now political necrophagy has spread to the United States and is eroding our own international prestige. During 2002, a group of 128 American intellectuals who opposed the notion that the “war on terrorism” was a “just war” sent a letter to their European counterparts calling for “a sane and frank European criticism of Bush’s war policy.”3 Soon, European governments and public opinion began denigrating the United States with almost the same ferocity they’d had during the Vietnam War. France and Germany accused the US of torturing the al-Qaeda prisoners held at its military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The British newspaper Mirror alleged that the United States was “killing innocents in Afghanistan.”4 The Paris daily Le Monde published a front-page article by Jean Baudrillard (a revered figure among American humanities professors over the last twenty-five years) asserting that “the Judeo-Christian West, led by the US, not only provoked the [September 11, 2001] terrorist attacks, it actually desired them.”"


Which is why this shouldn't be surprising, at all.

//From The Daily Caller:

Taqiyah Thompson, a student at North Carolina Central University, was arrested Tuesday following a press conference in which she defended the actions of the demonstrators and equated police officers to Confederate soldiers and Ku Klux Klan members.

“I did the right thing,” she said. “Everyone who was there — the people did the right thing. The people will continue to keep making the right choices until every Confederate statue is gone, until white supremacy is gone. That statue is where it belongs. It needs to be in the garbage.”

Thompson is a member of the Worker’s World Party (WWP), a revolutionary Marxist-Leninist group originally formed in 1959 as a hard-line offshoot of the more moderate Socialist Workers Party. In addition to supporting a wide range of far-left causes, the group also defends the North Korean regime of dictator Kim Jong-un against alleged U.S. imperialism.

Oh, ok because yeah, THAT totally makes sense.//
