Either way, I agree with him that the statue should go back up.
No way.
If someone wants to find out about Pike, they can read a book or watch a crappy yo.utoob about them.
I think the owners want to get rid of the orange.
They know a statue is simply a barometer.
You could send it to me, and I'll put it up in my yard. I don't even like Pike. I do like bronzes though, and I can pretend it's Jeremiah Johnson.
There's little about Pike or other influential secret society figures in history, at least the history I had inflicted on me by my indoctrinators. How would I know to look him up? The statue does that at least. I don't like the secret policies Pike seems to have promoted, but I think it's important folks learn about them.
The statue promotes that.
Simply hiring a crew and a crane and a truck to move the thing costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And if you put it in your yard, it seems like you'd be inviting the mob to your doorstep.
Skip to 710 seconds,
That was not what I expected of the impression I had of Pike going in. His career as a Brigadier General was particularly unexpected, as was his advocacy for the Civilized Tribes.
I am left with the impression that his fame was due primarily to his Masonic work, rather than his other accomplishments, as there seem to be few of them.
Thanks!
