History, Re-Forged

Vox Day just put this out. It entails an interview where two men are discussing George Orwell's, "1984." They talk about how the history of the world is the collective memory off all people, and that to change history -- to rob us of it -- is to take a part of the memories which link humanity together.

Censorship is a prime example of an attempt to rewrite, or erase history. Without the ability to look back on hard truths unimpeded, humanity is destined to repeat events from its horrendous past. The American "melting pot" has effectively worked to rob it's people of a unifying history. Even the Founding Fathers have been placed deep on the list of censorship soon to come; and attempts are already being made to remove curriculum containing their mention, and even their likeness from several universities.

At some point in the US, the lineages and individual histories of American families were pushed off the bridge of remembrance. There can be no doubt that this was a purposeful and well orchestrated plan. As a society that has no familial loyalties will naturally try to fill the void with something from the present. Our current present being a society of Modernite whims and worship.

There are several examples of attempts to re-write history; I'll name a few, bullet pointed for easy reading.

• Ben Shapiro and his attempts to remove the fact that European-Christian men founded the US. Shapiro tries his hardest to attribute it to "Judeo-Chrisitan" values, and people of that descent.
• The over stated popularity of slavery, and how African-Americans have monopolized it by claiming to be the sole proprietors worthy of reparations as if no other people in the world have ever been enslaved (in case you didn't know, every group of people on the planet has at some point been enslaved).
• The claim that the US was always a melting pot. It was not, nor was it intended to be.
• Our modern media which cannot even report the "facts" the same as the next station over. Most of the time, no two politicians in opposed parties can even agree on how things happened.

We're supposed to be living in the information age. Yet, it becomes more and more evident that this is in fact an age of disinformation.
