[Serra] was a man ahead of his times who made great sacrifices to defend and serve the indigenous population and work against an oppression that ex- tends far beyond the mission era. If that is not enough to legitimate a public statue in the state that he did so much to create, then virtually every historical figure from our nation’s past will have to be removed for their failings measured in the light of today’s standards.

In June 2020, vandals and cultural terrorists, inspired by the broader movement sparked by the death of George Floyd while being arrested by Minneapolis police, toppled several statues of Serra in California, denouncing him as a genocidal racist. So-called activists toppled and defaced the statues of Father Serra at Father Serra Park in downtown Los Angeles and in San Francisco. They blame the Spaniards—and since Serra was Spanish, he must, by their twisted logic, be complicit— for a sharp decline of the native population in the region from around 300,000 in 1769 to approximately 200,000 by 1821. Compare this to other parts of North and South America, where populations plummeted 75% or so, and it seems the Spaniards were doing something right in California.

Serra inHis Own Words RECENTLY WE HAVE SEEN ASSAULTS on the Christian religion and have witnessed symbols of religious figures torn down in America. One of the religious figures who has been a primary focus of the mob’s rage is Spanish missionary Fr. Junipero Serra. He is depicted by the radical left as a brutal slave master and a genocider of American Indians. Nothing could be further from the truth. The following are diary excerpts by and about Fr. Serra that show what a com- passionate man he was and also demonstrate his deep love of the completely uncivilized natives of the Spanish Southwest and for his mission to offer the “gentiles,” as he refers to them, salvation. The following is from Los Escritos del Padre Junipero Serra and was translated by Rose Marie Beebe of Santa Clara University, published in her book (with Robert M. Senkewicz) California, Indians and the Transformation of a Missionary.

THE BARNES REVIEW TBR PROFILE: THOMAS JEFFERSON

THOMAS JEFFERSON: MAN OF THE PEOPLE THE MOST INFLUENTIAL REVOLUTIONARY was not Karl Marx but Thomas Jefferson, whose influence has brought progress to the world and happiness to millions. Contrary to Marx, Jefferson’s truly constructive political and social ideas are based on a realistic view of men’s differences and a mature view of history. By first enunciating America’s authentic political tradition of populism and nationalism, Jefferson established a tradition which lasted until relatively recently and shaped the world as we know it. Here, Dr. Martin A. Larson—a profound admirer of Jefferson and a philosopher in his own right—discusses the great populist.

Located on the edge of the Potomac River’s Tidal Basin, the building is constructed mostly of white imperial Danby marble from Vermont. Inside is an awe-inspiring 19-foot-tall Rudulph Evans bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson, one of the principal authors of the Declaration of Independence. The entrance features a sculpture by Adolph A. Weinman depicting the five members of the drafting committee of the Declaration of Independence. A modern-day descendant of Jefferson, guilt-ridden Lu- cian K. Truscott IV, wrote in The New York Times that the Jefferson Memorial, “should be taken down and replaced.

The natural aristocracy I consider as the most precious gift of nature, for the in- struction, the trusts and government of society ... that form of government is best which provides effectually for a pure selection of these natural aristoi into the offices of government. The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient.17 “I hold it to be one of the distin- guishing excellencies of elective over hereditary successions, that the talents which nature has provided in sufficient proportions should be selected by society for the government of their affairs, rather than that this should be transmitted through the loins of knaves and fools, passing from the debauches of the table to those of the bed.”18

IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION But how shall these natural aristoi, many of them born in humble circumstances, rise to eminence? Obviously, without information and education, such a development would be impossible. For this reason, Jefferson introduced a bill to establish general, free, public education in Virginia in 1779; however, This 1823 Thomas Sully painting of Thomas Jefferson at nearly a similar measure did not become 80 years of age, shows him getting ready to speak at West Point law until 1817.

Andrew and his brother Robert were orphaned during the Revolutionary War. This did not stop Andrew from becoming, at age 14, a courier for the Continental Army. In 1781, he and Robert were taken prisoner by the British. During his incarceration in a POW camp, Jackson was ordered to polish a British officer’s boots. He refused, and his hand was slashed to the bone when he deflected the blow. The attack also left a scar on his forehead. Andrew and Robert were released after two weeks, but Robert died shortly thereafter, apparently from an illness contracted in the camp.

There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and poor, it would be an unqualified blessing.

NOTE: Andrew Jackson could hardly fail to be one of the most written- about public figures in U.S. history. There are approximately 400 entries devoted to him personally in the Library of Congress card catalogues. In addition, there are hundreds more volumes, disser - tations, reports, articles and mono- graphs on his political movement, policies and administrations, as well as “Jacksonian democracy” and its effects on the nation. But even all this fails to take into account the enormous material on the history of the country from 1800 to 1860, any examination of which must include intense scrutiny of Jackson’s varied roles in shaping the United States of America. ❖

The proper insignia for a Confederate general was three gold stars inside a gold wreath. Spec- ulation still exists as to why he did this. Did he want to be promoted to full general in peacetime, after the war had been won, or did he simply prefer the design shown here? No one really knows.

He was particular to say that should arbitrary or vindictive or revengeful policies be adopted, the end was not yet. There yet remained a great deal of vitality and strength in the South. There were undeveloped resources and hitherto unavailable sources of strength which harsh measure on our part would call into action; and that the South could protract the struggle for an indefinite period. We might, it was true, destroy all that remained of the country east of the Mississippi river by a lavish expen- diture of men and means; but then we would be required to fight on the other side of the river, and, after subduing them there, we would be compelled to follow them into Mex- ico, and thus the struggle would be prolonged until the whole country would be impoverished and ruined; and this we would be compelled to do if extermination, confiscation and general annihilation and destruction are to be our policy.

The iconic entrance to Washington and Lee University is shown.

He thanked me for the expression of Northern sentiment toward himself, but as for more fighting, he felt that he was getting too old, his only desire now being to be permitted to retire to private life and end his days in seclusion. It was, I thought, an evidence of painful sadness at heart that prompted the added expression that he would have been pleased had his life been taken in any of the numerous battlefields on which he had fought during this war. While talking on the subject of abolition of slavery, I remarked that it had lately been charged in some of the newspapers of the North that the Custis slaves, some 200 in number, who had been left in Gen. Lee’s custody for emancipation, had not been emancipated. The general said this was a mistake. As executor of the will, he was required to emancipate these slaves at a certain time.

On each side of his family, he could point to a line of ancestors who had served their country well in war and peace and from whom he inherited his high ideals of duty, patriotism and Chris- tian faith. In “the year 1726, J.E.B.

He shared his reasons for changing church membership with Maj.

J.E.B. wrote the following to his wife: “I am very much in favor of Charlottesville as a home. … The society is excellent and every variety of the Episcopal Church is near the location I would select.”33 Even through the hardships of war, Stuart’s attendance of religious services did not diminish.

Stuart at Yellow Tavern was created by talented artist Henry Kidd, who is known for his depictions of military figures.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change Updated to include a new section on the Green New Deal!

ess freedom, more regulation, higher costs: Make no mistake: Those are the surefire consequences of the modern global warming campaign waged by L political and cultural elites, who have long ago abandoned fact-based science for dramatic fearmongering in order to push increased central planning. The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change by Marc Morano gives a voice—backed by statistics, real-life stories and incontrovertible evidence—to the millions of “deplorable” Americans skeptical about the multibillion-dollar “climate change” complex, whose claims have time and time again been proven wrong.

We think we know all about “climate change,” but did you know:

The world is spending $1 billion per day to prevent global warming. A UN scientist has said that the oft-quoted “97% consensus” on global warming was pulled from thin air. Climate policies are crushing the world’s poor. The Paris Climate Accord would theoretically postpone “global warming” by four years—and cost $100 trillion. Climate change has been blamed for prostitution, bar-room brawls and airplane turbulence. Climate change activists say we should protect our kids—by not having them!

Meanwhile . . . Recent “hottest year” claims are based on statistically meaningless year-to-year differences. Major hurricane landfalls in the United States have declined over the last 140 years. F3 or larger tornadoes have been in decline since the 1970s. Antarctica is actually gaining ice. Carbon dioxide levels today are 10 times lower than in some past ice ages. Much, much more in an enjoyable illustrated format packed with REAL science, not elite propaganda.

They did their best to imitate Southern high society, but in hilarious cari- cature.

Contrary to popular myth, only a small percentage of Southern Americans before the Civil War owned slaves. Not all the slaves were Black, and not all of these owners were White. A year before the start of the war, the 1860 federal census reports show there were 27 million White people in the United States, including 8 million in the South. Slave owners that year numbered 385,000. Even if all slave holders had been White, which was not the case, that would calculate to only 4.8% of Southern Whites being slave owners.

Matthias Baldwin Forgotten Abolitionist During “peaceful protests” in Washington, D.C. spurred by the death of career criminal George Floyd in Minneapolis, rioters attacked any and all statues of “old White men in funny-looking clothes.” One of these was Matthias Baldwin, a man who dedicated many years of his life to the cause of abolition. On the base of Baldwin’s statue, hooligans spray-painted the words “colonizer” and “murderer,” showing their absolute ignorance of history, as Baldwin was neither.

In Boston, a monument dedicated to the 54th Massachusetts Voluntary Infantry Regiment (Union Army) was defaced by rioters. The 54th regiment was one of the first all-Black regiments to fight for the Union. They were immortalized in the 1989 Academy Award-winning film “Glory,” starring Denzel Wash- ington. Also lost down the memory hole are the sacrifices of approximately 350,000 White Americans who fought and died in the Civil War to “free the slaves,” as the politically correct court historians character- ize the conflict. This has been a challenging year. From the isolation of Covid-19 dictates handed down by unprepared governors to burning and looting throughout America, there is an un- easiness that has become the norm. Yet, when the times become dire, knowledge and good decisions must prevail. Toppling symbols of history will not change the history itself. The faulty logic of the “cancel culture” depends on the cancelling being literal. If a statue of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant is destroyed, Grant will vanish from history. (Grant, too, was a slave owner.) But he won’t. No one in Generation Cancel can rationally believe history had a reset button that was pressed the day they became politically active (between checking Facebook to see who “liked” their new “selfie”).

Note that the NOI’s book The Secret Rela- tionship Between Blacks and Jews is still required reading on this topic, despite what mainstream critics say, as the book—and this article—quote from many Jewish sources on the subject.

Over the course of centuries, the Arab Muslim slave traders had pen- etrated ever southward into Africa. Their largest forward base was the island of Zanzibar,4 from which they launched their slave drives deep into the African interior. They soon reached the African west coast, in what became known as the Congo (named after a tribe in the area). At the same time, the Arab slavers pushed south, eventually reaching what is today known as the country of Zimbabwe, where they established forward trading posts and some settlements.5 As Hinde details in his book, the Arabs were greatly aided by the fact that slavery was a firmly established practice in Africa before their arri- val. It was such a common practice among Africans, Hinde points out, that the natives at first thought it strange that the Europeans wanted to stop the trade at all.6 Hinde goes on to provide details of how Black Africans were sold into slavery by other Black Afri- cans—many of them converts to Islam—or by Arab colonists, all directed from the Zanzibar headquarters. “During the present century, many circumstances have combined to make the Zanzibar Arabs the most noted slave hunters and slave dealers in the world.

CHARLES LINDBERGH: THE LONE EAGLE

By John Wear, J.D.

harles Lindbergh (1902- 1974) became world famous in May 1927 after he flew Csolo his single-engine plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean. When he returned to New York two weeks later, 4 million people turned out to honor him in a massive ticker-tape parade. One newspaper wrote, “No conqueror in the history of the world ever received a welcome such as was accorded Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh yesterday.”1 Lindbergh was a national hero, and became Time magazine’s first Man of the Year.2 By the end of 1941, however, Lindbergh had become one of the most reviled men in American history. One columnist wrote that Lind- bergh had plummeted from “Public Hero No. 1” to “Public Enemy No. 1.”3 A 1942 poll showed that only 10% of Americans had a favorable view of Lindbergh, while 81% had an un- favorable view.4 Lindbergh’s sister- Charles A.

The book sold 190,000 copies in two months. Four days after com- pleting We, Lindbergh left on a three- month tour of the United States. Fly- ing the Spirit of St. Louis, Lindbergh spent at least one night in each of the (then) 48 states. When the tour ended in late October 1927, he had covered 22,340 miles in 260 hours of flying. An estimated 30 million pe - ople came to see Lindbergh, and he gave 147 speeches, was honored at 69 dinners, and traveled 1,285 miles in parades.6 On May 27, 1929, Lindbergh married Anne Morrow, whom he had met while on a flying tour. Anne gave birth to their first son, Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. on June 22, 1930. While the Lindberghs, a nurse and their son were at home, someone stole Charles Jr. on March 1, 1932.

Many in America were outraged by Lindbergh’s acceptance of the medal, and the vicious leftist media smeared him. Today, Lindbergh is still reviled by the likes of Tammy Gillies, the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League of San Diego, who says that anything with Lindbergh’s name on it should also indicate that Lucky Lindy was a “pro-Nazi anti-Semite.” in his journal four days after his storm that erupted after his Des 4 Hart, Bradley W., Hitler’s American Friends: The Third Reich’s Supporters in speech: Moines speech proves what Lind- bergh had written in his journal. the United States, New York: St. Martin’s I felt I had worded my Des Press, 2018, p. 227.

Philly’s Frank Rizzo: The Cisco Kid

THE TOUGH-TALKING SON OF IMMIGRANTS, Frank Rizzo rose from street cop to mayor of Philadelphia and became a nationally known figure in the process. For nearly 30 years, Rizzo dominated Philadelphia politics, but he couldn’t have succeeded as he did with out the grass-roots populist base that brought him fame and power. Frank Rizzo is one of the few modern-day politicians who truly understood the meaning of “populism.” Today, he is smeared by the radical left.

According to Murray Dubin, a Philadelphia journalist: “People shouted his name—often ‘Frank’— never disrespectfully, but familiarly, like hailing an old neighbor. He wasn’t greeted.

My father came to this country after spending 40 days in the hold of a ship. He got off at Ellis Island with a paper bag holding a change of underwear, a piece of bread and a hunk of cheese. He was a number, a quota number, and I say we don’t need quotas in this country.

Although the liberal establishment tried to defeat Rizzo for renomina- tion—and then for re-election—in 1975, they failed.

He insisted on accompanying his officers into the streets. Here he comes from a banquet with a billy club tucked in his cummerbund, ready to march with his men in the streets. Years before, in 1964, massive rioting broke out in North Philadelphia, destroying large swaths of Black neighborhoods and crushing the growing businesses there. Local Black leader Cecil B. Moore described the scene: “Rioters ran through the streets, shattered virtually every storefront window in a four-square-mile area. Looters dashed into the stores, grabbed racks of clothing, cases of liquor, groceries, furniture—anything they could move. They overturned cars, set fires, burned down a hat shop. Burglar alarms rang constantly. Negro leader Stanley Branche stood on a box at a street corner, used a bullhorn to plead: ‘Please go home. Please go home. This is doing us no good’.” Four years laster, Rizzo replaced Howard Leary as police commissioner. Leary, much like the leftist officials in Seattle, Washington, New York City and Portland, Oregon today, was loathe to act to restore law and order, preferring to give rioters “space to protest,” i.e., loot and destroy the businesses of law-abiding citizens. Rizzo, on the other hand, believed that a stong police presence would stop rioters. As for Leary, Rizzo called him a “gutless bastard.”

Prior to Floyd’s death, a Trump rally held at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis in October 2019 drew crowds of radical leftist counter-protesters, many of whom engaged in violence against Trump supporters who attended the rally. Rep. Ilhan Omar, the far-left, Somali- born Democratic congresswoman representing Minnesota’s 5th congressional district, which encompasses parts of Minneapolis and Tim Mynett, her alleged boyfriend and political strategist, were purported to have been in attendance at the anti-Trump counter-protest that, in typical fashion, devolved into anarchy and violence. Outside the Target Center, anti- Trump protesters burned the iconic red Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat that became a trademark for the president, repeatedly berated Trump supporters as “Nazis,” and physically confronted countless individuals attempting to attend the rally. Bottles of urine and other projectiles were allegedly thrown at police attempting to maintain law and order, while Trump supporters and rally-goers had to flee to their vehicles to escape the mob. Rep. Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, is also a radical far-left activist. In the past, she has focused her activism on fighting “climate change,” but has shifted her attention to the broader “struggle” against “white supremacy” and “systemic racism” by supporting Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison displays a copy of Antifa and BLM groups rioting in Mark Bray’s publication Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook.

These include “Emancipation,” the “Draft” and “Suspension of Habeas Corpus.” Lincoln, with striped pants, crouches in front, saying: “I’ll warm yer! Your old Constitution won’t do for U.S.!” The character in the background laments the wanton burning of the Constitution.

Spray-painted on his pedestal were such things as “Murderer,” “You’re on Native Land,” “Big Floyd” (a refence to George Floyd who died in police custody in May 2020) and “F*** Cops.” (We had to blur that out so as not to offend readers.) On the statue itself the graffiti says, “1619,” a reference to the 1619 Project of The New York Times which alleges American history began in that year with the importation of Black slaves to the shores of North America. that address would doubtless return has already—under a conservative really is Lincoln’s America.

If you answer no, how can you continue to justify Lincoln’s actions? In a political and governmental sense, that is exactly what Lincoln did. Forced union, of any kind, is slavery. In the name of emancipating slaves, Lincoln enslaved an entire nation. It was Lincoln who, for all intents and purposes, destroyed federalism and limited government in America. In fact, on December 15, 1866, renowned British historian Lord Acton wrote a letter to Gen. Robert E. Lee. In the letter, Acton said, “I deemed that you were fighting the battles of our liberty, our progress and our civilization; and I mourn for the stake which was lost at Richmond more deeply than I rejoice over that which was saved at Waterloo.” It was Lincoln who first established the nanny state, Big Govern- ment, Big Brother etc. Everything that Big-Government presidents such as Wilson, F.D.R., Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, Bush I and Bush II and Barack Obama learned, they learned from Lincoln. That is why these men love to quote Lincoln so much. What is appalling is the manner in which the American people (including professed Christians) have allowed the “politically correct” propaganda machine to brainwash their reasoning. Conservatives and liberals, and Dem- ocrats and Republicans, now embrace Lincoln’s America.

Skeptical opinion was not silenced until as recently as 2012, when Corning Inc., an American company specializing in ceramics and advanced optics for industrial and scientific applications, introduced “Willow Glass.” Heat- resistant and flexible enough to be rolled up, it has proven especially useful in making solar panels. Per- haps the ancient Romans of sunny Italy invented their own vitrum flexile for similar purposes. Corning’s “Willow Glass” is based on borosilicate, a substance high in silica and boron trioxide, making it more resistant to thermal shock than any The 3,000-year-old Layard Lens (also referred to as “the Nimrud other common glass, able to with- Lens”) displayed in the British Museum.

But these two outstanding scientific achievements only belonged to a broader understanding of vit- reous technology expressed in much different, though no less remarkable works of art. Less than 50 years before Corning engineers reproduced vitrum flexile, they joined University of Missouri archaeologists at Beth She’arim, in southwestern Galilee, about 12 miles southeast of Haifa, Israel, to examine an immense, table- top object accidentally unearthed in 1956 by bulldozers clearing out a cistern adjacent to 6th-century cat- acombs. Tests were conducted on the strange feature for several years. Robert Brill, one of the university investigators, told Archaeology magazine, “We undertook three small- scale excavations around the slab and, during the two intervening winters, carried out a thorough la- boratory study of samples taken from it. The experiments proved beyond question that the slab is made of glass and, furthermore, that Sculpted relief figures decorate India’s Hoysaleswara Temple. it is a man-made glass, produced de- At right, one of the subjects gazes through a hand-held telescope liberately.” It was established that at least 450 years prior to its supposed invention around the “there is no possibility that the slab turn of the 17th century in Holland. is a natural geological material or that it represents the remains of accidental firing or waste from an in- and purple. … Its surface is weath- necessary to melt the ingredients dustrial operation, such as the smelt- ered, and it is not transparent.” Of into this enormous mass of glass?”15 ing of some kind of ore.

Carefully hoisting such a ponder- ous if brittle object into an upright position, then delicately fitting it into hinges capable of supporting more than eight tons, may seem wildly impossible for a pre-industrial people. Yet, Rome’s predecessors achieved a similar construction feat at more than twice the weight, when Athe- nian builders mounted a pair of front doors to the Parthenon. Each one stood 30 feet tall, was seven feet wide, two feet thick, from solid oak. inlaid with chryselephantine panels of gold and ivory decoration. Despite their estimated combined weight of 20 tons, which required teams of roped horses to open and close them, the doors were capable of being swung back and forth on metal hinges for 2,025 years after they were mounted in 438 B.C.17 The Ro- mans would have regarded installing their glass door as a much less challenging project. Of Greek background, Heron was a Roman citizen born in Latinized Egypt, where he taught mathematics at the Musaeum in the famous Li- brary of Alexandria. Among his numerous inventions was a bottomless wine glass fabricated around A.D. 65, the same period “flexible glass” appeared in Satyricon.18 Heron connected his vitrum vinum profunda vorago to its inner reservoir by a tube.

Although Heron thoroughly described the bottomless wine glass in his collected essays, modern attempts at reproducing it consistently fail, most recently in 2006, when Ca- nadian engineering students, under the guidance of Professor John Hum - phrey at the University of Calgary, “were unable to replicate the device’s complex plug,” according to an astonishing progress report in Smith- sonian Magazine.19 Wondrous as these ancient scientific achievements might seem today, they represent only a fraction of the high technology that long ago characterized Imperial Rome and similarly sophisticated cultures, which, for all their inventive genius, could not save themselves from the same internal cankers undermining the modern world.
