Keep in mind that anything you “buy” from a tyrannical government can be taken back by force at any time, and you jailed or killed if you protest.
Our own illegitimate government will be running live demonstrations shortly.
Ask anyone subject to Eminent Domain what happens if the Government wants “your” property.
It can’t happen here at least…China already owns everything Biden’s could sell.
The Taliban must be kicking themselves right now. They could have SOLD the Bamiyan Buddhas before blowing them up.
I’m trying to calculate the level of stupid of buying something that the government just took away from somone else and thinking it will be “yours”.
Sharing a dirty needle Berry & Reggie would be a stupid idea to be sure but nowhere near as stupid as buying a heritage site from the nuts that run Iran.
Besides all of the above valid statements, why would I want to support a dictatorial regime?
Just Sayin’ – Just call ’em Iranian Givers!
At least Iran isn’t selling Statues, we just move them out of sight or destroy them, because you know, History is inconvenient and insensitive.
Or like Robert E. Lee’s Home, seize it, bury Union Soldiers in the front yard, turn turn it into Arlington Cemetery.
In 1863, Congress enacted a property tax on all lands in “insurrectionary” areas, a tax that had to be paid in person.
Mary Anna Lee could not make the journey back to Arlington to pay the tax due to complications brought on by arthritis. She sent a surrogate in her place, but he was rejected and tax collectors refused the payment.
On Jan. 11, 1864, the Union bought Arlington House and the grounds for $26,800.
Lee and Mary Anna never entered their home at Arlington again.
In April 1874, George Washington Custis Lee sued the federal government to reclaim the Arlington property. The case wound its way through the courts for years, but on Dec. 4, 1882, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the property had been illegally confiscated and should be returned.
George Washington Custis Lee chose monetary compensation instead of reclamation, and he received $150,000.
I bid 2 goats and a chicken for the whole lot.
