REGARDING Q NOTE ABOUT HISTORY BOOKS

I've not had time to compare books from different time periods but found this, and I think this is what we will find. As the liberal ideology has invaded our educational institutions, there has likely been a systematic effort to rewrite history.

How the Understanding of U.S. History Changes

Historian Kyle Ward speaks with Steve Inskeep about his book, History in the Making. It chronicles the ways that U.S. history textbooks change over time ...

INSKEEP: Do we construct our future by selecting which history we want to follow?

Prof. WARD: I definitely think so. I think history is one of the best tools you can use if you want to try to make your point at any point in time by saying, you know, look back. This is what we've done. This is who we are, or maybe who we think we are.

INSKEEP: Is it also a dangerous tool?

Prof. WARD: It definitely can be. We were in Germany doing some research, and we discovered over there that was one of the first things that the Nazis did, is they went into the high school history classes and wanted the history textbooks rewritten. They wanted to show a specific course in history that made more sense with their ideology at the time.

Some info from 8ch about the Iran payments. SUPER INTERESTING!

Want to see the $1.3BN in payments the Obummer made to Iran?

Part 1: News Reports
FoxNews: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/24/us-paid-iran-1-3b-two-days-after-400m-cash-transfer.html (Archive link here: http://archive.is/czZ9V)
CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2016/09/07/politics/iran-cash-payments-congress-hearing/index.html (Archive link here: http://archive.is/ol0lU)

Part 2: Explanation
Obama State department wired $1.3BN of funds on Jan 19th 2016 after the original $400M of untraceable cash transactions to Iran (The $400M is referred to as the “Ransom payment”).
Funds were wired suspiciously in 13 separate payments of $99.999M which totaled $1.3BN

Part 3: Importance of $100M Mark
This is a general limit of funding and appropriation that does not need congressional approval.
I don’t have a hard link to the specific parts of US Code, but two specific House resolutions point to this limit - both suspiciously worked on in 2015 as a way to bring more accountability.

HR 427 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/427)
Why this is highly suspicious and probably illegal. $100M is a limit that needs congressional approval, but splitting the larger transaction into smaller ones that escape scrutiny is an illegal act for a private company under Sarbanes-Oxley and other Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Unsure if it’s illegal for the gov’t , however it’s very suspicious and unethical.

Part 4: Funding and Transaction Logs
The funds were taken from a obscure fund from the US Treasury called the Judgement Fund. Often used to pay to avoid litigation
Fund Information: https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/fsservices/gov/pmt/jdgFund/judgementFund_home.htm
Excel Log of transaction (may expire): https://anonfile.com/VaM6rbbab8/Judment_Fund_Payment_Report.xls

Part 5: Do-It-Yourself: Transaction Logs
URL: https://jfund.fms.treas.gov/jfradSearchWeb/JFPymtSearchAction.do

(bad link and bad language was here. below may refer to that?)

Select Jan 19 2016 as the dates.. Add all the Defendant Categories….
You will now see the 13 separate payments made (look for the HUGE principal amounts

My dad taught history and U.S. government for over 30 years, and he did his due diligence - with a vengeance - when choosing the textbooks whenever the school bought new ones (I want to say they lasted about 3-5 years back in those days). As the years went by, he would increasingly complain about how his choices kept getting worse and worse. He got into an argument with his last principal, who insisted that dad take the textbook that he (the principal) wanted to buy. There was hardly anything about WWII in the book, and what it said about Korea and Vietnam made dad (Korean War vet) madder than a hornet.

This principal had been a mediocre elementary school teacher who left our system, got his masters - possibly dodging the draft in the bargain, IIRC - and returned the same wise-ass he had always been but now as an administrator. Dad was told that he had no say in the matter. My father retired soon afterwards, but it always rankled him how that "no-good so-and-so" made me teach from that "excrement-y" book, etc, etc.
