I have a talent for anticipating transformational events.  Sometimes I wish I didn’t.  Back in 2009, when Obamacare was just a glint in Il Duce Obama’s skinny socialist eye, the debate over what became Obamacare motivated me to write my book, Preserve, Protect and Condemn, in which I included what I thought were amusing fictional unanticipated consequences of such a law.  Sadly, many of them came to pass.  Surely, the government wouldn’t consider killing off sick people who cost too much, right?  Actually no, Obamacare included what became known as “Death Panels” to decide when someone had gotten enough treatment and should just go away.  And now, the Great Pretender, Joe Biden, has appointed Ezekiel Emanuel as his health adviser, a man who has written that those who have lived 75 years have lived long enough.  In February 2015, I wrote that a conservative populist would be elected president.  I had Ted Cruz in mind, and not Trump, but it’s the thought that counts.  After writing my book, I did some reading about studies that showed how memory worked.  People were given lists of names or numbers.  Those who were told the list was recorded for later review remembered far less than those who were told there was no saved list.  In other words, if we think the answers can be looked up later, we tend to forget details.  Confused yet?  Stay with me.  I began to think about the implications of this phenomenon in the age of the internet.  When we were kids, if you needed to look up something you consulted an encyclopedia, or you made a trip to a library.  The point is, there was a recorded repository of information that was universally accepted as our history.  Different historians had different viewpoints to be sure, but that’s the point, there was diversity of opinion.  So I began to ponder what would become of history, in a world where the answer to every question is “I’ll Google it.”  The libraries are still there.  The books are on the shelves gathering dust.  And that’s the problem.  Few people today actually ever read a book, especially young people.  This fact wouldn’t be so troubling if we had schools that taught history, but we don’t.  What was “history” is now just a part of “social studies,” and what little time we devote to history has become no more than the study of why America was a bad idea.  Today’s students are historical illiterates.  Don’t take my word for it, historian David McCollough said exactly that in 2005.  We also could squeak by with “I’ll Google it” education if we could rely on the internet to faithfully tell the truth.  One of the things we’ve learned in the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year 2020 is that the internet, once heralded as the instrument that would put the entire record of Man’s achievements and foibles in the hands of every person on Earth, cannot be trusted.  Simply put, the internet moguls, like Mark Zuckerberg and Rasputin look-alike Jack Dorsey, have rewritten history for those poor unfortunates who never bothered to learn it for themselves.  This should scare Hell out of you because this guy, or is it that guy,

and guys like him, now get to decide what our history is.  Even more alarming is that, these guys now get to decide what can and what cannot be accepted as truth.  The recent unpleasantness that was our election made this perfectly clear.  The news isn’t just what is reported, it’s what isn’t reported.  The U.S.S.R. was good at that.  For instance, in 1957, the Russians launched Sputnik-2, and announced to the world that their superior technology had put a 1,000 pound ship containing the dog, Laika, into space.  That part was true, but they left out the facts that the ship burned up and the dog was killed.  So, if you can limit what people get to see, and then can prevent dissenters from speaking the truth, even to one another on the internet, you can control the public.  Our internet masters learned this first-hand.  When the internet was in its infancy, it was credited with helping to bring down the Soviet Union and all its socialist satellite states.  People in Eastern Europe learned the truth on internet sites, and the U.S.S.R. was no more.  They weren’t going to let that happen again, and the internet billionaires soon found out they could make more money helping states like Communist China use the internet to suppress the flow of information, than by using it to make all information available to all people.  They then decided what was good for the Chinese was good  for America, so this year, they banned all reports that Joe Biden is a corrupt demented imbecile, as indeed he is.  Anyone who said otherwise was banned from the debate.  This has transformed the internet from the leading platform for the exercise of our right to free speech into the principal means of cancelling our First Amendment rights.  Sinister forces are at work, forces which seek to “fundamentally transform” (where have I heard that before?) the U. S. into a socialist workers’ paradise.  Destroying and changing what our history is a key component.  Karl Marx wrote, “People without a heritage are easily persuaded.”  Alexander Solzhenitsyn, after 8 years in a Soviet labor camp wrote, “To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.”  How?  You could pull down all the statues of historical figures. Sound familiar?  This plot has been in the works a long time.  It’s the reason that Christopher Columbus went from intrepid explorer to capitalist exploiter, and it’s why George Washington went from the Father of our Country to just another slave-owning white guy who is to blame for any and all complaints of the ignorant, self-absorbed, narcissistic sheep who take Google as Gospel.  When the source of all information is Google, Twitter and Facebook, you can make 40% of the people believe Trump conspired with Russia, and they did.  You can make half the populace believe that millions of Americans have died from the Wuhan virus, and they do.  And you can blatantly steal a presidential election, and then assure people that the election was fair, which they’re doing as I speak.  In short, the Left didn’t want to make America great again, so it’s using internet suppression to turn America into the U.S.S.R.
