Understanding History 2

This is more history that the political left would just as soon we ignore.  Quote: "The left is fond of taking a foreign political leader and hoisting him onto an ideological pedestal based on an appearance of bravado, revolutionary spirit, and glossed over sanctimony. But what they frequently leave out are the murders, the self-interest, and the money behind the power grabbers they so cherish. Interestingly, they do the opposite for leaders they don’t like. Consider Augusto Pinochet, for example. The tally of murders on his belt was much smaller than that of Che Guevara. But Pinochet was a right winger, and the handful of people he killed were communist revolutionaries. So the left, with a little help from the deeply indoctrinated musical star — Sting — made Pinochet out to be some South American madman. They compared him to, well– you know who they compared him to. Who do they always compare right-wingers to? You know damn well. Then, there’s Fidel Castro. We don’t know how many of his own citizens he poured into mass graves and bulldozed into oblivion. It’s notoriously difficult to count the dead when they’re disposed of in that way. The New York Times, however, backed the Castro regime, hailing it as a major accomplishment for human dignity. Castro himself called the NYT the best asset of the Communist revolutionary movement saying, “We could not do our work without them.” Che, the darling of the left, took great pleasure in unloading his revolver into the skulls of young boys. He was also the son of wealthy parents."    https://patrioticfreedomfighter.com/2018/09/10/jesse-lee-peterson-the-truth-about-nelson-mandela/

This item offers proof that just because someone is called a historian too many prove to be progressive apologists instead.  These are people who write history in such a way as to promote progressive causes by omission of relevant facts, revise history to promote progressive ideology, and slant language to support their preferred narratives.  This has been going on for a very long time. Here is a current example.  Quote: "Presidential historian Jon Meacham said Monday that President TrumpDonald John TrumpPompeo changes staff for Russia meeting after concerns raised about top negotiator's ties: reportHouse unravels with rise of 'Les Enfants Terrible'Ben Carson: Trump is not a racist and his comments were not racistMORE's latest attacks against a group of minority congresswomen placed him alongside former President Andrew Johnson as the "most racist president in American history."  "What the president’s done here is yet again, because I think he did it after Charlottesville, and I think he did it frankly when he was pushing the birther lie about President Obama, is he has joined Andrew Johnson as the most racist president in American history," Meacham, who has written biographies on past presidents Thomas Jefferson and George H.W. Bush, said on MSNBC's "Hardball." Meacham described the 17th president's history with racism, noting that Johnson once said in a state message that "African Americans were incapable of self government and relapsed into barbarism if they weren’t closely supervised."  The historian drew the parallels between Trump and Johnson one day after Trump targeted four freshman House lawmakers, saying that they should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came" before speaking out about how the United States government should be run."   https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/453240-presidential-historian-trump-now-with-andrew-johnson-as-most-racist   This so called historian ignores people like Democrat President Woodrow Wilson who was an extreme racist.  He hosted the premier of the movie "The Birth of A Nation" at the White House which celebrated the KKK and segregated the executive branch of government which had been integrated since the end of the civil war.   https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2015/11/20/9766896/woodrow-wilson-racist   That is what real racism looks like.  Democrat President Lyndon Johnson was not much better.  Get the facts because you cannot believe anything progressives say.  Jon Meacham is a political hack, not a historian.

This is quite a read.  It will expose the truth that history is not always what we have been told.  Revisionist with agendas have other ideas about what we need to know and why. SO, beware the purposeful assault on the truth of our nation's history. All history.  Those historians with agendas want us to think, know and understand what they want us to think, know and understand.  Truth and facts be damned.     https://spectator.org/history-is-an-ugly-business/ 

 

This is one of our Founders that gets little attention and deserves more.  Quote: "One of the greatest legal minds of the founding generation was also one of the most reserved and unobtrusive. On many levels, James Iredell differed from his peers. Outspoken Federalist from New York, John Jay, became the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Prominent Virginia Governor Edmund Randolph was selected by George Washington to be the first Attorney General. Patrick Henry, who was an incredibly effective lawyer, became known as one of the greatest orators of his time. James Iredell did none of this – he was plainly overshadowed and eclipsed by his haughtier peers. Still, his life is worth studying for his unshakable consistency to the constitutional principles he espoused. After a modest upbringing in Lewes, England, Iredell immigrated to Edenton, North Carolina, at the age of 17. For a time, he collected custom duties from Port Roanoke in Edenton. He began to study law under the tutelage of one of the most prominent lawyer in North Carolina, Samuel Johnston. At an extremely young age, he completed the training necessary to practice before North Carolina and passed the bar in 1771. Unquestionably, Iredell was a legal prodigy. He immersed himself in most important legal literature of his time, and devoted his life to the pursuit of legal knowledge. He was well acquainted with the British constitutional system, especially the work of William Blackstone. Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England was the most important English legal treatise, and Iredell grasped its maxims like few others in America."     https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2016/01/07/james-iredell-forgotten-founder-and-great-legal-mind/

It pays to have a hold on factual history when dealing with left wing revisionists having a political agenda. Democrat Muslim Representative is one lying and totally indoctrinated human being. Her accounting of the history of Jerusalem is full of Muslim falsified history.  This piece explains.  https://townhall.com/columnists/marinamedvin/2019/05/15/jews-legally-purchased-palestinian-land-before-the-holocaust-rashida-lied-n2546349?

This is a very interesting examination of history being propagandized by left wing operatives.  Quote: " Many American citizens are awakening to the harsh reality that the mainstream media corporations are now culpable in aiding and abetting ousting a sitting president. In any other nation, the Mueller “investigation” would be called a coup d’état. However, aided by the mass mainstream media, American citizens have never witnessed such an incredibly deliberate distortion of the truth in the history of this nation. The one-sided barrage of accusations and alignment with false witnesses against the duly elected President of the United States has successfully perpetrated a cloud of doubts. However, the failed coup to undermine the U.S. Constitution has happened before in the nation’s history. Such treason originated within Democrat James Buchanan’s White House."  And,  "The formulation of the coup conspiracy began in the minds of Democrat leaders in the U.S government, and their coup seems to be going long term. It will because Democrat leaders see Trump, like Lincoln was, as an existential threat. Only this time they want to dominate all American citizens."   https://www.commdiginews.com/politics-2/americas-history-of-using-propaganda-to-enact-deep-state-coup-detats-116716/   Interesting isn't it that this is what left wing political operatives do, just like our modern day Democrats???.

Interesting how the political left always wants to rewrite history to support their view of things.  Been doing it for a very long time.  No wonder kids growing up in government run progressive schools know nothing about history, civics or government.  That makes it easy for the political left to dumb down the population so that public school kids will grow up to be the good uninformed but compliant socialists the political left wants them to be.   https://libertyvideonews.com/liberals-are-dangerously-wrong-about-world-war-i/
