”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.”< r>~ George Orwell, “1984”
This is why I NEVER throw out a book, dictionary, thesaurus, atlas, encyclopedia, etc. The days are coming when 70% of the population will have no idea what happened or existed more than 75 years ago, if even that.
I'm pretty sure my grandkids will be taught that Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, and the Wright Bros. were all black.
