In fact, the modern nations of the West have derived only limited value from their historical studies, because they have never made them big enough. For history to have meaning, as we have already stated, it must be the history of the human race.
Far from achieving such an ideal, our historical studies are largely limited to the history of our own country during the lifetime of the present nation. Thus the time-factor is too short to allow the longer rhythms of the rise and fall of nations even to be noticed. As the television director indicated, it never even crosses our minds
that longer periods could be of any interest.When we read the history of our own nation, we find the actions of our ancestors described as glorious, while those of other peoples are depicted as mean, tyrannical or
cowardly. Thus our history is (intentionally) not based on facts. We are emotionally unwilling to accept that our forbears might have been mean or cowardly.Alternatively, there are ‘political’ schools of history, slanted to discredit the actions of our past leaders, in order to support modern political movements. In all these cases, history is not an attempt to ascertain the truth, but a system of propaganda, devoted to the furtherance of modern projects, or the gratification of national vanity.
Men can scarcely be blamed for not learning from the history they are taught. There is nothing to learn from it, because it is not true.

Our domestic enemies are what’s bringing about the end of this empire, what was supposed to be a representative republic. Our failure to hunt them to extinction is what will doom us.
But then they have already defeated us because there are no men here to even understand that last sentence much less carry it out.

Proven right once again:
FK – Liberty must be taught to the blank slates. Then it must be enforced on those who hate it for they will certainly force their version, sub-version or subversion on you. It really is that simple.
Anarchy would mean you’d have to decide which neighbors to kill. The tool-using monkeys are way too primitive yet to deal with that on their own. Simple sad fact.
Money is the real god of this world. Ignorance and fear are its concubines, its generals, depending on the situation. We are all ruled by the willful ignorance of the masses.
The purposes of gods and golden rules
Only one thing will fix this mess but there are no men left in western civ. to provide it.
