Patriotism, Desecration and Monuments of the Confederate South

I interview Lafayette Lee, former US serviceman and American patriot, about the Naming Commission, set up to erase Confederate history in the Federal military.

What do you think the motivation is behind the Naming Commission?

I think the creation of the so-called Naming Commission is just another front in the Biden Administration's overall campaign to consolidate power and convert the US Department of Defense into a subservient political bureaucracy. In this postmodern age, ideology is upending the grand narratives of the past, and the hard-won reconciliation between North and South in this country is no exception. The motivations of the Naming Commission members are strictly cynical. These are political actors who provide an air of legitimacy to the US government's ideological crusade against the values, culture, and traditions of the historic American nation. And these efforts will be handsomely rewarded. But make no mistake, the purpose of these efforts is to exact greater control over the US military and other public institutions, not to mention the population at large. "Who controls the past controls the future."
