The war on history is about overturning America’s constitutional system.

So says Mary Grabar, a resident fellow at the Alexander Hamilton Institute and author of the book “Debunking Howard Zinn: Exposing the Fake History That Turned a Generation Against America.”

Zinn was a radical historian whose book, “A People’s History of the United States,” has been widely influential since its first publication in 1980.

Grabar spoke at a Heritage Foundation event in late August on “The Perils of Revisionist History” as a part of an ongoing series of presentations called “The Power of Trial and Triumph.” The event’s hosts were Angela Sailor, vice president of Heritage’s Feulner Institute, and Allen C. Guelzo, a visiting fellow at Heritage’s Simon Center for American Studies.

Grabar laid out how Zinn portrayed himself as a truth-teller who was debunking myths created about American history using newly uncovered sources.

“He claimed to be revealing new evidence, everything from Christopher Columbus’ diary to a Harper’s Magazine article about Japanese internment camps published at the end of World War II to the Pentagon Papers,” she said. “But what I discovered in going through Zinn’s book is, he did no such thing.”

Instead, according to Grabar, Zinn distorted his sources to fit his narrative, took subject matter out of context, and frequently outright lifted his material from other authors.

“In terms of Columbus, he mostly copied from passages quoted in a book he plagiarized, a book for high school students written by a fellow Marxist and anti-Vietnam War organizer who was not a historian, but a novelist, by the name of Hans Koning,” Grabar said.

Columbus’ diary was quoted deceptively, she said. Zinn added ellipses to sentences while also clipping out entire sentences or pages to change their meaning, she said. This made Columbus seem ruthless and cruel, but the actual direct passages from Columbus tell a different story.

The missing passages, she said, show that Columbus tried to convert the Indians “through love, not force, and certainly was not intent on murder or genocide as is claimed.”

It wasn’t just the story of Columbus that Zinn distorted, Grabar said. He engaged in revisionism about the Vietnam War in much the same way.

Public school teachers have been bragging online about their indoctrination of children, and they are lamenting about how they are no longer able to do so via online classes. They fear that they might get caught by eavesdropping parents. Parents, Christians, and conservatives are enemies of the new education.

We are witnessing a vicious assault by enemies of all that is good, and our president is having to act in ways unprecedented in decades, maybe centuries.

The biblical nature of good versus evil cannot be discounted as we examine what is happening on the streets of America.

It’s Marxism in the form of antifa and the Black Lives Matter movement versus our very capable and very underappreciated law enforcement professionals, the vast majority of whom are fighting to provide us safe and secure homes, streets and communities.

When the destiny of the United States is at stake, and it is, the very future of the entire world is threatened.

As Christians, shouldn’t we act? We recognize that divine Providence is the ultimate judge of our destiny. Achieving our destiny as a freedom-loving nation, Providence compels us to do our part in our communities.

It encourages us in this battle against the forces of evil to face our fears head-on. No enemy on earth is stronger than the united forces of God-fearing, freedom-loving people.

We can no longer pretend that these dark forces are going to go away by mere prayer alone. Prayers matter, but action is required.

A woman who fled the former nation of Yugoslavia discusses how socialism led to the downfall of the nation and how events happening in America parallel what happened there.  She explains precisely how they did it to the innocent population of her country and it is precisely what they are doing to innocent Americans right now! Plus she explains precisely what we need to do about it before it's too late!

On Monday the owners of the NFL's Washington Redskins announced the team name is discontinued and a new name and logo will take its place. One would expect celebration on the left at having achieved their long-demanded goal. Instead, liberals largely shrugged off their victory and immediately pivoted to demanding additional team name changes. The left's responses are a great example of Marxist "critical theory." The name of a sports team or a logo, or any other demand by the left, is never what is important to them. The purpose of their faux outrage is simply to maintain constant pressure on institutions, entangling them in perpetual "controversy," diminishing their value and causing eventual collapse.

Critical theory was devised in the 1930s by Marxists of the Frankfurt School as a method of destabilizing and eventually transforming Western nations by disrupting and weakening the institutions that make up our societies. In everyday application, the concept is strikingly simple. Regardless of circumstances, the strategy calls for criticizing literally everything. You hear people exclaim that the left is never satisfied. Surrender on any issue is never enough for them and only results in more demands. This is critical theory in action.

They criticize the economy by comparing peoples' incomes. They criticize companies for insufficient racial or gender composition. They criticize churches for maintaining scriptural positions. They criticize society's food and transportation choices for destroying the planet. They criticize police for failing to protect people in dangerous neighborhoods, then criticize them for arresting criminals in those neighborhoods. They criticize banks for not giving loans to people with bad credit, then complain of "predatory lending" when they make those loans. They criticize universities over student demographics, statues on campus, building names and use of standardized testing in admission. They criticize traditional families as sexist or oppressive to children or unfair to people with alternate lifestyles. They criticize our history, health care and sports. The most important aspect of critical theory, though, is to never stop critiquing so as to maintain constant pressure in the assault on these institutions.

The son of the Native American man who designed the Washington Redskins logo is unhappy about the team's rebrand as he says the logo is not racist.

The politically correct “woke” left has been celebrating this week after the Washington Redskins football team announced that it would be changing its name and dropping its iconic Redskins logo for good. Not everyone is happy about this announcement though. The Native American son of the man who designed the Redskins logo spoke out to defend it, arguing that he and his tribe in fact ‘take pride’ in the logo.

Redskins Logo Designed By Native American

The Daily Wire reported that the current Redskins logo was designed by Native American Walter “Blackie” Wetzel in 1971.

The design is a depiction of John “Two Guns” White Calf, a Blackfeet Chief who is also depicted on the Buffalo Nickel.

Wetzel reportedly grew up on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana and went on to play a crucial role in the “R” in the current Redskins logo being changed to a description of a Native American.

His family has always felt proud of the logo, and his son Lance Wetzel spoke out this week to say it isn’t offensive at all. Instead, he argued that the logo is a symbol of pride for Native Americans.

In case you didn't know,

The Redskins logo was designed by the former leader of the Blackfeet Indian tribe, Walter "Blackie" Wetzel.

He once said, "It made us proud to have an Indian on a big-time team."

The sway BLM has over our Country right now has become that of an occupying force. And BLM is supported by forces that would like nothing more than to occupy the United States in some way shape or form. Soros’ largely unchallenged social manipulation maneuvers via the Open Society foundations engineers BLM. As the Daily Caller wrote "One of the group’s biggest donors is the Tides Foundation, a non-profit funded by billionaire progressive philanthropist George Soros. Communist Hollywood Propagandizing China supports BLM. Silicon Valley and the United Nations support BLM. And of course sycophantic Globalist corporate wannabe overlords support BLM.

This video analyzes why individuals that possess the ability to be "reasonable" and able to think things through can crumble into mindless insanity when participating in large groups.  A society based on pure democracy, "mob rule" always descends into what we are seeing played out in the world today, the proverbial "five wolves and a sheep discussing what's for dinner."
