What do you do if you want to rewrite the history books to remove anything or anyone you disagree with? First, you brand those in opposition to you as traitors to your agenda. Having done that, you then take the next step, which is to totally remove them from the history books and shove them down George Orwell’s “Memory Hole.” Out of sight, out of mind, you reason. Future generations must not be aware of these people or the causes they stood for because, after all, you disagree with them, and so they need to disappear.
This is being done in this country to a large degree regarding the War of Northern Aggression aka the “Civil War.” Those that are doing this are the heirs of the French Revolution. That war was this country’s French Revolution – and we have yet to recover from it. If we continue in our present direction, we never will – and the radical socialists and communists will have won.
I received two letters from good friends who are Southern patriots this week. Interestingly, both are from Oklahoma, though I doubt these two know one another. One dealt with the expunging of all things Confederate from West Point – all memorabilia, statues, plaques, anything that honors or mentions anyone Confederate. That would have to include Robert E. Lee, who served as superintendent of West Point for a period of time. So, what do you do with the history of West Point while General Lee ran it? You just ignore that. As far as you are concerned, that never happened. So, the Deep State socialists, after branding Lee a traitor, which he wasn’t, will now attempt to remove any memory of him from West Point! Down the memory hole!
The other letter dealt with the same situation regarding Arlington National Cemetery removing the memory of anyone Confederate. That cemetery is on land once owned by Robert E. – well, you know – someone we can’t talk about anymore because the Deep State socialists don’t like him!
One has to wonder what will be substituted for real history when the removal of the memory of anything Confederate is completed. Who will the Northern armies have gone into combat with at Gettysburg, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Pittsburg Landing, Elkhorn Tavern, – phantom armies from a period of history that now exists only in the Memory Hole? This seems to be where we are headed.
Our “history,” if it can even be called such anymore, is being rewritten by radical socialists who are busily removing everything they don’t agree with. “Civil War,” what Civil War? Robert E. Lee, who was he anyway? Radical socialists and communists in the North, including many in Lincoln’s administration and his armies? Well, no way José, it just didn’t happen! Who told you that anyway? Must have been some “conspiracy theorist!” Older history books that mention all this, just pay them no mind. Toss them out and read one of the “new” history books that will give you the real scoop on all the stuff we say never happened.
That’s where we are at, folks. Down with the old, even though much of it is accurate – and up with the new – even though most of it is historical fertilizer! After all, the Deep State, via their public school system, has a generation to indoctrinate, but not to educate! At some point, the truth will catch up with them. But they can’t see that far ahead. All truth is God’s truth and will be vindicated at some point – even if most of us will not live to see it.

O I’m a good old rebel, now that’s just what I am. For this “fair land of freedom” I do not care at all. I’m glad I fit against it, I only wish we’d won, And I don’t want no pardon for anything I done.
Once you’ve cancelled Lee, what do you do with Grant? For that matter, did the Civil War/War between the States/War of Northern Aggression even happen? Of is it a fairy tale?
If we cancel Custer and the other Indian fighters, do we have to cancel the Indians, too? Are those wars (1607 to 1973) also imaginary?
Mr Sykes,
I don’t believe they’ll cancel Custer. He was a ‘good’ Yankee who shot Confederates in the back. A pretty good book about Custer is ‘Son of the Morning Star’ by Evan Connell.
Matthew Fontaine Maury was almost singlehandedly responsible for the establishment of the Naval Academy at Annapolis. He was at least the first to put forth the idea for building the institution. In recognition thereof, as well as of his founding and work in the science we today call “Oceanography,” a building on campus is named after him – Maury Hall. I know that the “Commission of Ill-Repute” several months ago recommended that the name of that hall be changed. The commission’s report states the following:
“Early classes of midshipmen trained at Annapolis to protect and defend the United States by sea. During the Civil War [sic], the majority of those sailors performed their duties with distinction … Yet, not all midshipmen maintained their allegiance to the nation that trained them for the sea and entrusted them with its defense.” “Despite his contributions,” the report goes on to say of Commander Maury, “he viewed African Americans as unworthy of life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness.”
One of these days they’ll get around to changing the name of the Webb Space Telescope, expunging Mr. Webb’s name from the record of its development and naming it after some faggot or trannie pencil-pusher who wrote an obscure report about the project while the project was underway. Indeed, a group of NASA faggots, trannies and women put forth a “noble effort” to change the name several years before the telescope was finished and launched into deep, outer-earth orbit.
Such is the (iconoclastic) world we live in. God help us all!
The Latin term for this is “damnatio memoriae,” which means “condemnation of memory.”
