Re: For some reason I get annoyed with history being re -written all the time. Rewriting history is a hallmark of fascist regimes. What quite scary is to see the rate at which previously available materials are being removed from the Internet by our government. And, of course, the White House is getting into the act. It regularly scrubs its Website in order to remove embarrassing information such as its announcement that hostilities had ended in Iraq as of May 1. Now it say "major hostilities" have been ended. Expect another revision soon. It would be too funny to see a hacker crack the site and install a "Quagmire Accomplished" page. <g> Another worrying development is hacker attacks on sites such as The Memory Hole. Asking the usual cui bono? question about motivation, why would pimple-faced 14 year old warez kidz have an interest in taking that site down? None, in comparison with the fine folks at the secret sections of the government who are seeing the government being embarrassed by the ongoing revelations and archives at the Memory Hole. thememoryhole.org

Rewriting of history is a given. Better not to let it annoy you. Objective accounts of history are rare because most passions are not directed at recording the truth. Contrast 1. The history books of Mexico and the US with respect to the conquest of Texas,Arizona,New Mexico and California. 2. The history books of China and Japan about the China "Incident". 3. Darwin and the fossil record versus the Bible. 4. The account of Tien An Men from photographs of the killings and accounts of the doctors who sometimes succeeded and sometimes failed to save the lives of the injured versus the official CPC account. Naturally I believe Mexico, China,Darwin and the photos and doctors' words but I'm not sure that any of these accounts will survive in the future. 5 It has become strangely agreed that after Japan attacked the US, the US then immediately declared war on both Japan and their buddies the Nazis. However the truth is that the U.S. Congress decided on a one front war, i.e. against Japan and maintained peaceful relations with Germany. "We have no quarrel with Hitler." It was Hitler who yanked the US into war with him by a surprise declaration of war, a few days later. After his declaration of war, the US congress had to reconvene and declare war against Germany. You want to get the truth about economic history? LOL.
