The Killing of History
By John Pilger | Consortium News | September 21, 2017
One of the most hyped “events” of American television, “The Vietnam War,” has started on the PBS network. The directors are Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Acclaimed for his documentaries on the Civil War, the Great Depression and the history of jazz, Burns says of his Vietnam films, “They will inspire our country to begin to talk and think about the Vietnam War in an entirely new way.”
In a society often bereft of historical memory and in thrall to the propaganda of its “exceptionalism,” Burns’s “entirely new” Vietnam War is presented as an “epic, historic work.” Its lavish advertising campaign promotes its biggest backer, Bank of America, which in 1971 was burned down by students in Santa Barbara, California, as a symbol of the hated war in Vietnam.
Burns says he is grateful to “the entire Bank of America family” which “has long supported our country’s veterans.” Bank of America was a corporate prop to an invasion that killed perhaps as many as four million Vietnamese and ravaged and poisoned a once bountiful land. More than 58,000 American soldiers were killed, and around the same number are estimated to have taken their own lives.
I watched the first episode in New York. It leaves you in no doubt of its intentions right from the start. The narrator says the war “was begun in good faith by decent people out of fateful misunderstandings, American overconfidence and Cold War misunderstandings.”
The dishonesty of this statement is not surprising. … continue

SAMSON AT LAST FOUND A WEIGHT THAT IS HARD TO SHIFT.
SAMSON’S OPTIONS ARE DIMINISHED.
ZIONIST/USA NO PRINCIALS, ONLY INTERESTS OBJECTIVES, SO AS TO RULE THE WORLD. TO RULE EVEN ALL THOSE THAT COLLABORATE WITH THIS PLANNED GLOBAL ENSLAVEMENT.
A true Shepherd to his flock…watching over them to reveal truth, untying knots, and vowing to keep them safe. Americans listening to the corruption it protects, bounded by the ropes and chains it casts upon them by smoke, illusions and false promises…think that their salvation is nigh by the Jews. They have forsaken what is truth by discernment with its actions and stand on a false foundation ready to give away. Mr. Nasrallah is speaking the truth but you Americans see his clothes. His first sentence is to “hear and listen” just as the Prophets of Torah and the New Covenant “HEARken” to warn us of our forgotten path. To those who serve and listen to the corruption that fills their very soul will perish in it. Thank you Hezbollah Leader and The Almighty for trying to reach us through him. I wish America had your kind of resolve, faith, and wisdom to understand where the evil actually resides, hides, and ultimately will be successful in taking itself down. When we don’t believe in the Promise, the Lie is all that is left and how clever the Evil One has surprised you.
