Friend,
On October 28 I visited the site of the newly restored Albert Pike
statue at Judiciary Square in Washington, D.C. The stature of the KKK
founder and judicial officer, Confederate General Pike had been torn
down by vandals in June of 2020, coincident with Black Lives Matter
protests which erupted after George Floyd was killed a few weeks
earlier.
In 1992, when Lyndon LaRouche was in federal prison, he called for
the removal of the monument, and I participated at the weekly Friday
Pike Statue protest where we educated the City and Federal Workers
about the statue through our loudspeaker and banners.
The restoration of the statue of this treasonous man at Judiciary
Square indicates the problems within our government today. It belongs
in a museum, not in a public park to be celebrated by passers by.
You will hear from congressional candidate Jose Vega, American
historian Anton Chaitkin, and Lyndon LaRouche about why this
matters.
