NYC MTA tears down subway tiles that look a little like a Confederate flag

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” George Orwell

In what is eerily evocative of a Stalinist purge of history, all of American history is being scrubbed by the new fascists. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are now in the cross hairs.

It doesn’t matter to the fascists if it isn’t a Confederate flag. It is a design based on geometric forms that represent the “Crossroads of the World.” But even if they were, it is wrong to remove them.

This is Red Bill de Blasio’s NY. His MTA banned my ads, so is this surprising?

MTA will remake tiles that look like Confederate flags in station

In the wake of last weekend’s white-power unrest in Virginia over a Confederate monument, the MTA has decided to remake a series of tile mosaics in the Times Square subway station that look eerily like Confederate flags.

The Post found in 2015 that the designs of rectangular squares with blue crosses on a red background have been a part of the Times Square station décor for more than than 90 years.
Civil War historian Dr. David Jackowe claims the tiles honor the late New York Times head Adolph S. Ochs, a Southerner. He also believes Ochs was buried with a Confederate flag.

The MTA — which refused to say if their action to finally remove the tiles is linked to the events in Charlottesville — has consistently disputed that the mosaics are actually Confederate flags or that they honor Ochs.

MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said they are meant to honor Times Square’s nickname.

“These are not Confederate flags, it is a design based on geometric forms that represent the ‘Crossroads of the World’ and to avoid absolutely any confusion, we will modify them to make that absolutely crystal clear,” Ortiz said.

Ortiz declined to say exactly how the MTA plans to modify the tiles or when the changes will happen.

I rode the NYC subway to WTC for over 20 years, switched trains at Times Square, must have seen these tiles hundreds of times, and never even wildly imaged them to be a representation of a “Confederate flag”. They were seen by most as nothing more than a geometric tile layout, like any other of the thousands in the Subway system.

“They” (the Globalists) are getting down to a “sub-atomic” level of abstraction- erasing history and re-writing it in their own vernacular…

Muslims have been biggest slave sellers and keepers after they used to raid african and european coastal villages.

Jihadis are in America and working steadily to takeover and impose sharia drip by drip and Left/Liberal useful idiots are helping them out of ignorance or cash or stupidity.

Welcome to Islamic state of Michiganistan and it will soon have Muslim brotherhood approved Muslim stealth jihadi Governor http://bit.ly/2hGhVxY

To illustrate a “Crossroads”, perhaps a North/South/East/West cross might be shown ?

Or pehaps not !!

Same here. It should be pointed out you cannot buy a CSA banner from Amazon anymore but they’ll be glad to sell you an ISIS one.

When I came back from overseas, I went “beer only”. The VA doctor asked if I drank alcohol. I told her beer only. She asked how much. I told her it depended on how long the ball game lasts.

He also believes Ochs was buried with a Confederate flag.

Dig that MF’er up and burn that flag! The world has gone insane. How can this happen so fast and so perversely?

Doesn’t anyone ask these flacks if they know that the entire city is making a horse’s ass out of themselves. I mean it’s like seeing a kid cutting paper stars and someone grabs the scissors from them because stars were on the “Confederate Flag” It’s just difficult expressing the enormous stupidity of these people. They are completely addled by idiotic beliefs.

The whole point of the Confederate flag as any child can understand, is that the stars represent the States of the Confederacy. Stars are completely absent from the tiles

Will they dig up Adolph S. Och to destroy the confederate flag if he was buried with one. Then desecrate what is left of his body too?

OK, I’ll play your game. If we are going to be governed by street thug politics of the moment and mob rule by seeking retribution from others for perceived past wrongs, then let’s go after innocent modern day citizens of Germany for what happened under Hitler’s Third Reich, any and all Japanese for their numerous wartime atrocities like Pearl Harbor and the rape of Nanking, the Vietnamese for the barbarous treatment of POWs at the “Hanoi Hilton”, and any or all suspected muslimes for 9/11. Any others that should be added to the list or should we go back further?

Shortly after posting this exercise in ridicule, the morning news reported an overnight story out of Houston that a Christopher Columbus statue had red paint poured over it. Give me an f’ing break! 1492?

Agreed. My stance is that those who wish to rewrite history should read some of it first.

I learned a number of decades ago [6] in NY that if you give them an inch,they want a mile,give them a mile,they want 100 miles,weakness and cowardice will ALWAYS be exploited.
THE ONLY WAY TO PUT A STOP TO TERRORISM IN ALL IT’S FORMS IS TO REFUSE TO GIVE THAT FIRST INCH.
The problem with that is you must have a spine to do it.

Burning American flag, Marching for Socialism, Praising the killing of law enforcement officers, Promoting ‘Diversity’ by banning/threatening whites, and Rioting, Looting for ‘Peace’ ?!!

The DNC actually thinks this will ‘Unite’ Americans ?!!

The push to remove Confederate flags and monuments has little to do with race relations in America today. That is the SMOKE SCREEN, as the real intent is to destroy the Constitution of the United States! I often reference the Globalists and the UN for their diabolical plans for a one world government where only the elites have any say over your lives.
Our Constitution is a beacon of freedom that the world looks to as its safe haven and is the standard most people look up to. For the last 8+ years we have seen many of our institutions being torn down by malcontents. The Democrat party has shifted far left into the Communists zone and desires to control every aspect of our lives and both parties have sold us out!
We see the media has been corrupted and reduced into a propaganda machine, taking their overly dramatic talking points from the dictates of un-American individuals and groups, e.g. George Soros who is a well known destroyer of nations. We see they have gained some ground by having removed Confederate flags to the statues but mark my words, their ultimate goal is to destroy our Constitution and if they could pull that off, ALL OUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS GO WITH IT! We can not let this happen! Here is a trailer to the video, “Agenda, Grinding America Down” I recommend that you see the full length version as it clearly spells out what the plan to destroy America is and how that plan is being carried out today. out today.
