Today oil co’s deny global warming despite all the undeniable, overwhelming, evidence, and Ins. co’s fight health care reform at their own peril. Recent wars have been fought more for oil profits than for human rights so why are we so surprised to learn that even the Am. Revolution may have been started by American tea smugglers and their “bought and paid for” politicians. England was about to lower the taxes on tea, which would have cut the smugglers profits. So, Boston’s smugglers lied and started a riot, dumping British tea into the harbor which got out of control and became a war. Another example of the rich distorting the truth for their own ends, no matter how many get hurt, even killed, because of it. This is just 1 of 8 instances where history is deliberately distorted or rewritten and mentioned in the current issue of the magazine, Ideas & Discoveries. Another is Mao’s “Cultural Revolution” a euphemism for historical-cultural eradication, perhaps the biggest attempt to wipe out a civilizations culture and history. Truman’s un-necessary, pointless, murder of everyone in Hiroshima and Nagasaki (since Japan had already expressed the desire to surrender several times and been ignored each time) ranks high in the mass murder category also.
