NOTABLES
Extensive digs on UNC Chapel Hill, Robert E. Lee, monument removals, history of southern universities and key families in the South
Thank you for this outstanding dig, anon. This is an area of great local interest to me, and an excellent addition to our archives. Excellent work.
If (((they))) decide to REALLY go after the history of slavery in America, I wish them luck trying to wrest the written history out of the hands of the National Archives, the Latter Day Saints Church (and their giant caves full of permanently archived genealogical information), and every other genealogy web site in the world.
Think of how many wills there are in county courthouses, on microfilm and microfiche, and online, documenting the only record that some African-Americans may ever have of their ancestors' lives in the past.
History revisionists are possibly THE most deluded people of all.
"He who does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it" (Santayana)
Or maybe that's exactly what they're trying to do. Not make dramatic changes to get a day or two worth of attention from the local news; but to actually wipe out the record of slavery.
Because they want to bring it BACK.
I have multiple ancestors who were slaveowners. Am neither ashamed nor proud of that fact; it is simply a fact that I feel obligated to look squarely in the face and acknowledge.
I don't LIKE that it happened. But I think one of the ways we prevent it from ever happening again is to USE that past as a reminder: look what happened, it was morally and ethically wrong, and learning about it– what caused it, why that economic model was wrong, everything about it– is maybe the best we keep history from ever repeating it.
We have nothing to fear from truth. It is sometimes difficult, but we should welcome it, run to it, embrace it.
DAMMNNNN, Robert Maxwell?
The Mossad "Super Spy"?
Everybody KNOWS how filthy Ghislaine's daddy was, right?
Some assassins whacked him on his own yacht, the "Lady Ghislaine"
I got the impression that Brit special forces turned out his lights
Boatfags could clarify, but the yacht has been sold and renamed I believe more than once since he got tossed overboard.
Man, Robert Maxwell was thoroughly dug and exposed ages ago, in our archives.
But honestly, I don't recall ever seeing anything about him giving idiot Mitt Romney a leg up.
Very interesting new (to this anon) info.
