"Why Socialists Want to Destroy Our Memory of the Past" "Why Socialists Want to Destroy Our Memory of the Past" The Swedish government is weighing whether it should ban historical imagery including rune script and Norse symbols, since these may be viewed as “hate” symbols. This isn’t an isolated incident, either. In the United States, historical statues and imagery across the country—from war memorials, to Civil War leaders, to paintings of George Washington—have been targeted for destruction by individuals who find them offensive. A new history is being shown to youth in the United States and other countries that criticizes their traditional cultures, curses their founding stories, and condemns their founders. Students are being taught to hate where they come from, and to interpret history through the lens of socialism. It is a battle for memory, in a war of ideas. ...

His job included rewriting old newspaper articles so that they always supported the claims of the party in control (government). So that the past fits in with today's requirements. For example, it would not do to have today's allies as yesterday's enemies, so the past has to be changed. Big Brother is always right, has always been right, he is unchanging. The model was probably the contortions the Soviet Union went through to justify the Nazi-Soviet Pact and then the Alliance with the Capitalist nations in WWII. KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov's warning to America: The KGB's Idealization Subversion, Demoralization....i.e., brainwashing to hate your country In 1984, Bezmenov gave an interview to G. Edward Griffin from which much can be learned today. His most chilling point was that there’s a long-term plan put in play by Russia to defeat America through psychological warfare and “demoralization”. It’s a long game that takes decades to achieve but it may already be bearing fruit. Bezmenov made the point that the work of the Communists mainly does not involve espionage, despite what our popular culture may tell us. Most of the work, 85% of it, was “a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare.” You can see it with your own eyes What does that mean? Bezmenov explained that the most striking thing about ideological subversion is that it happens in the open as a legitimate process. “You can see it with your own eyes,” he said. The American media would be able to see it, if it just focused on it.  Here’s how he further defined ideological subversion: “What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.”  Bezmenov described this process as “a great brainwashing” which has four basic stages.  The first stage is called “demoralization” which takes from 15 to 20 years to achieve. According to the former KGB agent, that is the minimum number of years it takes to re-educate one generation of students that is normally exposed to the ideology of its country. In other words, the time it takes to change what the people are thinking. … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX3EZCVj2XA The Weaponizing of Education: Transforming Your Children Into Immoral and Ignorant Globalists  https://thecommonsenseshow.com/agenda-21-conspiracy-economics/weaponizing-education-transforming-your-children-immoral-and-ignorant-globalists
