It used to be history was written by the victors. Today, history is re-written by the whiney losers.

It was 25 years ago when I became aware of revisions after reviewing a kid’s high school History homework. The textbook was full of bunk. I substituted for many years and would spend the day correcting history. In English class we’d go over current events and discuss conflicting news stories.

Fake history is built from fake news, as well as from fake reports e.g., "17 intelligence agencies agree "such and so is true," ehen the fact is, "such and so" is utterly false.

Both Fake News and Fake History are critical parts in an adversary’s deception program. The US could be seriously misled.

Most if not all progressive historians are revisionists. They have to be in order to differentiate themselves as “scholars” capable of finding new (even if wrong) interpretations of historical events, facts, personalities,etc.

The Truth is replaced by the Fake because we do not want to admit the Truth is true. And this applies to all sides, not just the left. Take the JFK Assassination or Vietnam war as examples.

JFK Assassination: Hundreds of Right Wing militia types and Hundreds of Left Wing revolutionary types were in Dallas on November 22, 1963 because the rumors in the conspiracy circles for weeks had been that there would be a coup d’etat in Dallas. The Left Wing rumor was that the Right Wing was behind the Coup d’etat. The Right Wing rumor was that the Left Wing was behind the Coup d’etat.

J. Edgar Hoover had informants in both groups and was well aware in advance of the rumors. He was well aware in advance of the movement of heavily armed people to Dallas.

There had been rumors like this prior to Dallas that resulted in nothing. How was one to know whether this would be a nothing like the others? Or something would actually happen? I heard the most explicit description of the rumors on my birthday, Nov 9 from a heavily armed wannabe participant.

The real story is that with hundreds on both sides heavily armed only 1 (or maybe 2) got a shot off. All the others chickened out. That is the real story.

Does anyone want the Truth to come out? I don’t think so. We prefer a fake narrative, which is why we have so many variations of the fake narrative.

Vietnam War example: My kids and grandkids history books say the war is unpopular, which is fake. Neither those books, nor any books I have seen accurately tell why the anti-communists lost and the commuinists won.

Example 3: Meet the Press right now as we speak is talking about Jared Kushner’s “back channels”. Nobody wants to speak the Truth. Kushner knew that both Obama’s people and the neo-cons left in the US Intelligence agencies were dedicated to destroying the Trump administration. Russia was not a trusted ally; But also Russia was not dedicated to the destruction of the Trump administration.

Is that not the Truth that nobody wants to say?

History is a narrative
