A statue of Thomas Jefferson that has stood for almost 200 years was removed from New York City Hall Monday after a minority of Mayoral appointees deemed it to be potentially offensive.
Footage of the statue being removed was shared widely.
A statue of Thomas Jefferson, who was the third president of the United States, has been removed from New York City Hall after a unanimous vote by a committee, because of his links to the slave trade.

It was secured with straps and lifted by chains:

The statue was then placed into a crate and lowered down to the ground floor of the building:

The statue will be relocated to the New York Historical Society after nine members of the Mayoral appointed Public Design Commission voted in October to remove it.
Several lawmakers testified that the statue is âoffensiveâ, with Democratic Assemblyman Charles Barron of Brooklyn even declaring that Jefferson was a âslaveholding pedophile.âÂ
Others, including Republican City council member Joe Borelli accused NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio of waging a âprogressive war on history.âÂ
The statue will likely be included in educational exhibits with the ‘proper’ historical context that likely will include discussion of Jeffersonâs slave ownership.
People who tried to watch the removal of the statue were initially told that they had no right to be there:

As we previously noted, back in 2017, after statues of Confederate figures were targeted, President Trump predicted that soon enough it would be statues of Jefferson and Washington that would face the axe.
âThis week itâs Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down. I wonder, is George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You really do have to ask yourself: âWhere does it stop?ââ Trump asked at the time.

The media said Trump was overreacting and pointing to a âfalse slippery slopeâ.
John Oliver devoted an entire segment to mocking Trump over the statement:

Wrong.
Trump was 100% correct.
Again.
Do you think President trump ever gets tired of being right? I bet he doesn't.https://t.co/5MxcLgutvV

It hasnât stopped. History is being systematically erased.
Earlier this year we reported on the woke mob succeeding in influencing a MUSEUM in New York to remove a statue of former President Theodore Roosevelt.
Called it. Now the statues can't even be part of museums. https://t.co/SXs5toe4Vw

Watch: Musk Warns Bill Maher ‘Woke Mind Virus’ Is Existential Threat To Civilization
Published

30 April, 2023Zero Hedge

“I, at least, think of myself as a moderate,” Elon Musk told Bill Maher during an appearance Friday night on the comedian’s HBO show.
Despite being decried by all asunder as a ‘far-right conservative operative’ or some such hyperbole, Musk said:
“I spent a massive amount of my life energy building sustainable energy, you know, electric vehicles, and batteries, and solar. It’s not exactly far-right.”
Musk made his opinion clear a year ago – he hasn’t changed, the world has…
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 28, 2022
And somehow in all this divisive bullshit, ‘allowing’ free speech has become a virtue of the far-right, the enablers of violence, the fascists
“Free speech used to be a left or liberal value, and yet we see from the quote ‘left’ a desire to actually censor, and that seems crazy.”
“I think we should be extremely concerned about anything that undermines the First Amendment,” Musk said.
More explicitly regarding his acquisition or, and changes made at, Twitter, Musk said:
“My concern with Twitter was to that it is somewhat of the digital town square and it’s important that there be both the reality and perception of trust for a wide range of viewpoints.“
Maher responded that he does not tweet any more because âitâs too easy to get canceledâ by a mob.
âBecause you may be the mayor of tweet town now and Iâm glad – I like it that the mayor likes my jokes – but the reason I donât do it anymore is because the mob of mean girls is still there and that has not changed.
Like, itâs too easy to get canceled and I donât even know what pisses them off: theyâre so nuts, these kids.
I feel like Iâm walking on a roof with a blind fold: I could fall off anytime, that was the most innocuous thing, but itâs like, you know, I said George Washington was a great president – oh how dare you,â Maher continued.
âYou have to say, like, what does canceled mean? You know – I mean, yes, if people attack you on Twitter thatâs one thing – but frankly thatâs just going to increase engagement. So I would just ignore it,â Musk replied somewhat prosaically.
And so Maher stepped it up a little more:
âYou have talked about this woke mind virus in really apocalyptic terms,â Maher asked Musk
âI donât – you should explain why you donât think itâs hyperbole to say things like itâs pushing civilization towards suicide. First of all, what is the woke mind virus?â
Musk responded much more clearly this time:
âI think we need to be very cautious about anything that is anti-meritocratic and anything that results in the suppression of free speech,â Musk said.
âSo, those are two of the aspects of the woke mind virus that I think are very dangerous, is that itâs often very anti-meritocratic, and you canât question things. Even the questioning is bad.â
Maher agreed, and asked Musk where he thinks this ‘woke mind virus’ originated from:
âI was trying to figure out where itâs coming from. I think itâs actually been a long time brewing, in that itâs – I think itâs been going on for a while, and the amount of indoctrination thatâs happening in schools and universities is I think far beyond what parents realize,â Musk said.
