has become an instruction manual for Democrats
.............................................................................................................................................................................
- Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
(George Orwell, 1984)
My history teacher in high school told me
“We learn from history that we do not learn from history.”
she was quoting some dude
(probably a dead white man)
another thing she said was
.
"History repeats itself because no one was listening the first time."
.
SO
.
my take on this is that it doesn't matter.
Even IFpeople learned some history, (how many do?)
- History is a lie and it always has been.
History is written by the winners.
then it's revised by those who come to power when the winners die.
then it's revised again when THOSE people dies.
Wash, Rinse and Repeat.
We have NO idea what really happened...
none...nada...zilch..zero
So why not make a nice fluffy, pretty history that makes us feel good.
Got to keep the millennials happy.
The truth might scare them.
I hope that I have informed or entertained you with my post.

seeya on the flip side
I was thinking that just last week! Man, when I read that book (way back when) I remember being so creeped about the main characters swearing they wouldn't but then betraying everyone and everything they cared most about.
Any time someone mentions 1984 I am reminded of the question the main character asks: "I understand how, but I don't understand why".
It is easy to see how today's propaganda machine (MSM, Facebook, Twitter) are being used to manipulate moronic liberal masses. But why??
Because sheep need a Shepard- to herd them. "Twitter"- was this social platform designed for Twits? Im going to make a social platform for lesbians called "Clitter". I cant believe the nitwits that were going around trying to find pokeman, trespassing on other peoples properties, and unwittingly filming locations for some unseen entities on the web. you could put a pokeman on the side of a cliff, and these people would line up and fall off the edge, like lemmings, but pushing and shoving to be first.
As bad as I want to, I cant argue with anything you said, Everittmickey. I think the shit is going to hit the fan when they start messing with stone Mountain in Georgia. So glad I live a hermits life on an island in florida, with swamploads of mosquitos as my protection from the masses.
I spent a memorial day weekend with a friend of mine who lives in the swamp in central florida...(I call it a swamp...)...I have NEVER seen mosquitoes that bad. They're so thick they resemble smoke..
meep
I was always creeped out about Winston's apartment where he had just one little place to go where he could not be seen. I don't have much, but a private place to rest at the end of the day is always my goal.
Recently I read a post about 1984, and the person said - who would have ever believed that we would willingly carry around something that tracked our every move, reported the details, and could take photos of everything we see? Not only that - we pay for the privilege of surveillance. - Of course - this is the cell phone in all its glory.
My son has been homeless in San Diego and has had a quite a few free obamaphones in the last years. According to him, the first thing to do with your obamaphone is to trade it with another homeless person and don't download apps.
They can go ahead and track you, but they will not know who you are. This is strange thing he found out from his homeless cohorts and now trades the phones continually. I have no idea if this makes any difference, but I do know his number is always changing.
Such a pathetic turn of events and the surveillance is taxpayer funded to boot!
I have a small piece of black tape over ever computer and cellphone camera I have. My friends say Im paranoid. I creeps me out that google is always asking me to take a picture o the restaurant or auto parts store or wherever I go. its like having a stalker following you around. If google really wanted to impress me- they would invent a Roomba that cleans up dogshit, instead of smearing it around the floor. Now that would be a technical breakthrough. Never set up your Roomba in auto mode- always precheck before you let it loose.
Words of wisdom - ignore your friends! I've got the black tape too and on all the red and blue lights on various appliances etc.
I was amazed with the pokemon go event. People were filming the interiors of their houses for that one. I could not believe the stupidity. Even my son - the pokefreak - would have nothing to do with that game. He did something to cloak a cheap phone for a day or two and then told me, "Oh no, mom. This one is evil."
Then all the people in my old town ran around filming the alleys and other out of the way places all summer while looking for the pokemon. I was watching in a fb group and they even posted about how the game seemed to be leading them to all kinds of odd places in town. The few times I spoke up to tell them they were filming for people unknown - I was stomped down.
Netflix is supposed to be a good thing for this too. A friend of mine finally got it for his wife who wanted it. A couple days later they where somewhere far from home and everything she had watched was coming up on her phone in odd ways - mostly telling here where she could buy stuff in this reasort town they were visiting. So they got rid of it and wiped her computer lol.
That's why I dot buy any "smart" appliances. I have older Toyotas, with no wifi or Bluetooth. The new smart TV's have cameras that watch you, and I cant believe the people who buy refridgerators with wifi cameras inside. You can just open the door to see whats inside. The more high tech it is-the dumber the consumer is.
What!? I had no idea about this for the fridge. Wow. I did notice in the last years that my friends cannot drive without someone in the car telling them which way to go and where to turn. I thought that was amazing. I'm talking about people who are driving in their own area. They still turn on the robot voice to get where they are going! Glad you are avoiding it too. I hope some of us survive to show people the old ways lol.
I live on Black Hammock Island, In Florida, and the GPS says there is a bridge that connects Shark road east with Hecksher Drive/ A1A. There isn't. But there is about 2 or 3 morons a month that follow the GPS- off the paved road, and into the marsh- where they get buried to the frame. And I get called out to pull them out with the Backhoe. And they are arguing that it wasn't there fault, because the GPS says there is a bridge there, and I ask them - When are you going to trust your eyes and not that stupid GPS? If there was a bridge, then I wouldn't be pulling you out for $50. I learned really quick to get my money up front, because they don't want to pay you after they get out of the marsh. And when they complain about $50, I tell them to call a wrecker- and the Wrecker is $250, and you need a visa or mastercard before they even leave the shop. People are getting so dumb today. I will send you a link about the fridge with the camera in it.
Oh my goodness! This is hilarious. I can just see you. At least you get steady income from this and I'm glad you are getting the money up front. I think you should double your price.

$6000 I saw. Your video did not work for me so I looked on you tube. People love it! The screen wakes up when you approach it, they put their banking on it, they buy food from it, they look at their food while at work thanks to the cameras in the fridge. Oh my goodness! Then in the "suggested videos" is one about how Samsung has a "Military Arm!"
Watching these folks take down "hateful" history really boils my ass. I know that slavery is a touchy subject, obviously. But, tearing down the statue that represented the grunts of the south that were injured. Wow, that sent a message to nobody.
Terrible war, but, it is the history of this country. You will have to face up to these facts, snowflake.
Wow, I feel like I'm in Orwell's novel.
I saw N. Pelosi talking about tearing down the statues in Washington DC - She's been in Congress for many years. Did she just wake up to notice them or was this for the psyop?
A friend of mine is all up in arms about the statues on fb and hoards have joined in to give their opinions. I was trying to tell him to ignore it and stay to his purpose. So then some guy on his posts told me I supported nazis! I told him "I am in Thailand. I have not seen any nazis here in 18 months. No one here is talking about this irrelevant nonsense." lol - It's funny, but sad too.
For years now, I've called it the Grand Narrative. It is really like a soap opera and can move in any direction it needs to, it just changes the plot lines when it needs to. TPTB know where they want to get with their propaganda, they don't really care how they get there.
Yup! And big money is thrown in the air too. Where are all the fat women who wore the beta kitten pink hats in January? Back on the couch eating cheetos and yelling at the fake news feed, I am sure. That one just floored me.
I think throwing the tv out the window would help many but they are too afraid to do it.
Watch out for a big fight in Vegas - next week, I think. That one is all over my conspiracy sites. The craigslist ads for actors is already out and people are watching it to see what nonsense will come up :)
I'm seeing the same on the fight.
The pink hat brigade was an exercise in what I'm not sure?
I don't know but it made me mad. I spend my life trying to help those fat ladies get fit. They rarely take my advice. Instead they trudged out into the cold for one grueling day of hate in those stupid hats and then collapsed back down into nothing.
I have heard that if events like the fight get out beforehand - they cancel. I'm not sure if there is a drill going on right now over there, but if there is - it's on for the moment. They are just trying to get everyone to hate each other so they are distracted from the real evil-doers.
Snowflakes never face up to facts.
they cry...stompy foot...and demand safe spaces..
That makes them easy targets....
targets?
more like something you wipe off your boot.
Nice post...
Once they wash the history of the civil war, because it was "so painful". (Even though no one is alive that even took part in it.) The history of slavery would virtually disappear. How would one explain freedom from something, if there was never anything to end it?
The dems have certainly been living 1984, look at the dull, lulling mass of it's followers. Try explaining to them that the democrats were the ones fighting to keep slaves.
Or showing them that most slaves were bought and sold in Baltimore- Often by freed Black slave owners in Louisiana. Louisiana had the majority of slave owners and slave breeders in the US. The black owned plantations are never mentioned, and they try to make it look as if the white confederates owned most of the slaves, which was false. Many slaves had more land of their own than southern whites did. Both blcks and whites could enter work contracts of "endentured servitude". The first owner of a black slave in the US was- A black slave master- but this is not mentioned. Slavery is still prevalent in Africa and the middle east today, yet the BLM does not condemn it.
You're on top of it. It doesn't serve the party line to tell the whole truth. This racial division would collapse if the truth were to be expressed.
I see a post about black slave owners in my future, when time permits. Probably several posts.
