HAVING IT BOTH WAYS

Orwell really nailed it when he cast Winston Smith as a re-writer of history in favour of Big Brother. In our age we see revisionist 'historians' constantly attempting, and unfortunately due to the surrender of the educational, media and entertainment spheres, largely succeeding in rewriting history to following in their narrow ideological footprints.

We often hear how the left scream and shout about the conservatives writing history in their own image (the victor writes the history etc!) all the while doing it on an enormous scale themselves. The USSR, East Germany, Mao's China, Cambodia etc...the list is a long one, and you have to hand it to these radicals because they did it on a grand scale. Stalin articulated the concept when he said that to kill a single man is murder, to kill a million becomes a statistic.

The big lie. The Marxists believed in it! Goebbels lived it, Saul Alinsky taught it as a strategy, and think of the story of Alger Hiss as an illustration of how America's Democrat Party deployed a weaponized version of it when they denied, denied, denied, truth even in the face of overwhelming evidence. Just as they rewrote history to put the blame for slavery onto the Republicans...Dinesh D'Souza has shown the world what a big, and continuing lie that is/has been.

Revisionist Historians from earlier centuries tried to taint the middle ages with the erroneous moniker 'Dark Ages', because of the profound and lasting affect of the Judeo-Christian worldview on the first millennium after Christ.

The period that followed has been named the 'enlightenment', a misnomer if ever there was because the ideologies that emerged during that period have plunged humankind into the bloodiest wars, the most savage uses and abuses of technology and devalued humans to the point of manufacturing a crisis in suicides, something fairly new in the history of the human race.

Many of the modernist/post-modern revisionist 'sages' have attacked the Industrial Revolution similalry:

“Paul Johnson says that the Industrial Revolution is ‘often presented as a time of horror for working men. In fact it was the age, above all, in history of matchless opportunities for penniless men with powerful brains and imaginations, and it is astonishing how quickly they came to the fore’.”

Or as another historian noted, “The nineteenth century, for the first time, introduced on a broad scale the state policies of public health and public education. The nineteenth century, by turning out cheaper goods, made possible the amazing climb of real wages in industrialised economies. The nineteenth century, by permitting the transfer of capital in large amounts, opened up the interiors of backwards countries for development and production”. [B Muehlenberg]

The attacks continue today in the form of 'Climate Change Catastropharians'. These are fools and shady characters who are making money and gaining power under the guise of 'saving the planet'.

Who wouldn't want to save this beautiful earth, but they use these natural and philanthropic urges to scare people into giving them more power, more money and allowing them to rewrite both history AND the future.

Don't let them.
