Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: HOODWINKED/”CIVIL WAR” HOODWINKED I have been incensed for numerous years at not only WHAT I was taught, but at what I was NOT taught…especially in the subject of American History. If you think you are safe because you attended “back in the day”, think again! Face it; we were lied to, whether intentionally or not, by our teachers. It’s a bitter pill to swallow. I once was a public school teacher, thank goodness not in American history where I might have been an unknowing purveyor of lies, distortions—revisionism. A perfect example is the brouhaha encompassing the subject of the “Civil War” in recent times. Thanks to honest truth-seekers writing well-documented articles & books on the facts rather than the phantasmagoric tales told by the “victorious” Northern revisionist history writers, we are finally (after 150+ year Lincoln cover-up) able to understand what really happened and why. (See resource list below for some recommendations.) The fact that the truth is finally making its way into public view is probably the true reason behind the resurgence & repetitive showings of the old TV series “Roots”. According to numerous sources, Alex Haley’s “Roots” is pure fiction. (Here is one http://www.thenewamerican.com/reviews/opinion/item/6335-alex-haleys-fraudulent-roots ) Excerpts: “According to(Thomas) Sowell, Roots did more harm than good in fueling “the gross misconception that slavery was about white people enslaving black people.” In reality, “the tragedy of slavery was of a far greater magnitude than that.” Slavery knew no racial boundaries. “People of every race and color were both slaves and enslavers, for thousands of years, all around the world.” Sowell likens slavery to cancer in that it transcends time and place. He concludes: “If reparations were to be paid for slavery, everybody on this planet would owe everybody else.” Haley and Plagiarism “Haley’s claims to the contrary aside, professional genealogists Gary B. and Elizabeth Shown Mills have demonstrated beyond a doubt that there is no formal documentation to corroborate “the oral tradition” regarding Haley’s family history. Moreover, the very documentation to which Haley refers — “plantation records, wills, census records” — repudiates this tradition. The Mills are to the point: “In truth, those same plantation records, wills, and censuses cited by Mr. Haley not only fail to document his story, but they contradict each and every pre-Civil War statement of Afro-American lineage in Roots.” This merely demonstrates the tip of the lying iceberg behemoth of American history revisionism and the immense damage it has done to all Americans. Many Whites have taken on unnecessary, unearned guilt and many Blacks have been convinced that they are eternal “victims” of White oppression and use that as an excuse for bigotry, hatred, & sometimes criminal behavior. Ironically, mostly White politicians & bureaucrats have harmed more blacks (& other races) through the effects of the welfare state most likely than the institute of slavery in this country. Conclusion: Virtually everything we have been told & taught regarding this particular period of time in our history, as well as the Founding & subsequent other periods of time have been skewed, twisted, revised and downright lied about. As a society, we have been hoodwinked, probably irreparably, into our own demise. The enlightened Founding Principles are lying at the bottom of the revisionist garbage heap, perhaps never to be rediscovered again. ~Barbara McCutchen “The Real Lincoln” by Thomas DiLorenzo; “The South Was Right” by S.A.

I was lied to about the Holohoax in the 4th grade. But I successfully defeated their efforts in front of the class.
