I don't know about that stuff, but here is some reality on Pike for ya-
http://dcpages.com/gallery/Albert_Pi...Washington_DC/
Pike is the only CONFEDERATE miltary figure to have a statue in Washington DC.
Why would a major pro slavery confederate general have a statue still standing in Washington?
He held the position of Sovereign Grand Commander in the southern Masonic Scottish Rite for many years and was considered a Freemason leader in the U.S.

During his lifetime, Boston-born Pike was an author, educator, lawyer, Confederate brigadier general, newspaper editor, poet, and a Thirty-third Degree Mason. From its earliest roots in the Southern Rights Clubs in 1835, the Knights of the Golden Circle was to become the most powerful secret and subversive organization in the history of the United States with members in every state and territory before the end of the Civil War.
