1917 News justified entry into WW1.


    Recent DNA testing debunked my family history story of American Indian heritage. This brought to mind that most history is modified by what is omitted or included. Too much positive or negative information can totally change the focus.

    Today's current events are history tomorrow. New documentaries are on-line about the horrible treatment of the Germans after WW2 and the terrible loss of life in the Korean War. Now I know about the lies told to get me interested in the Kuwait War. Lies got us into Vietnam and Iraq. The Media can produce fake history by dwelling on one ethic group's history as if it can be separated from the whole. Many deny Holocaust numbers. Stories of Irish Slaves called indentured servants abound. The removal of Confederate History and Christian Symbols are current events. I could ramble on and on.

    Conclusion: Ken Burns Vietnam documentary will be ready in September but reaching into the fog of history will produce nothing new.

    If only I could spam filter today's news for the truth. Yesterday is gone.
