James Corbett: "Who gets to write the history textbooks? Where do the history teachers learn about history? What documents are allowed into the historical record, and what documents are excluded? These are not merely academic questions, they go right to the heart of the question of history itself."
Following on the theme started with the previous post: A Fresh Look at the French Revolution- The Liberals vs the People. Where we all learn of an alternative history to the French revolution. One that sees the masses enraged, group of fighters/rebels fight against the republic for years afterwards. Only to be massacred by the state. None of which was mentioned in the usual history booksIt should be clear that History is written by the Winners/Victors.
We had some commentary regarding the french revolution as compared to the yellow vest protests. Most people wrongly believe the "french revolution' was all about the people tossing an insolent ruler to the curb. And then gaining enlightenment. It was nothing of the sort.
Go back to the post: Propaganda is the Art of Overwhelming Logic And yes, it's relative.
After reading Gallier's comments from the previous post, I became intrigued with this latest "terror" incident. It's so well packaged. Marketable. Terror. Christmas. What's with the repeated occurrence of Christmas attacks? Who hates Christ-mas that much?Certainly not the retailers..
To get up to speed it's recommended you read Pt's 1 and 2:
I'm going to open here with a comment from Gallier the Elder...
Continuing on with the Yellow Vests protests. Do read the first part- All this information needs to be taken in together for the simple reason it provides better understanding that way.
This is one subject that I've regrettably been remiss about addressing. Fortunately with the help from two long term friends of the blog, Gallier the Elder and Gallier 2, I'm finally able to have a better understanding of the situation and write about it Gallier 1 and 2, two brothers, hailing from the vicinity in which the protests are taking place, graciously assisted with information that gives context and perspective from the people on the ground in France. It's local and personal to them.And gives us all a better understanding of the protests.
Readers here were made aware in the post from: Tuesday, December 4, 2018- Indicator 6: "Syria’s Assad Has Gassed His Own People, Again" Bloomberg that the US was going to make this accusation.
"When direct oppression is no longer possible, deliberate dumbing down will do just as well."
Managed to listen to this interview last week.Education is not about educating. It's about 'socializing'. The edu-indoctrination system does not hide this fact. But, have you ever considered what it means to be "socialized"?
