What
is truth? From my perspective, truth passes through the following three stages:
(1) It is thought to be ridiculous. (2) It is violently opposed. And (3) It is
finally self-evident. In other words, repeating a lie will never
make anything true. Is that what a revisionist does? That is, make a lie
into the truth. Joseph
Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda for the German
Third Reich under Adolf Hitler, said, “If you tell a lie big enough
and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
However, it is still a lie until it is exposed for what it is. Until then,
that lie will be defended as the definite truth.
Let’s look at
the perception of reality and maybe the real truth of Lincoln’s legacy in
regard to the Civil War. To do this I have enlisted two books by Thomas
DiLorenzo, Lincoln Unmasked and The Real Lincoln along with the
following video. (For your own research, simply do a Google search on the subject. While you are at it, do
a search on the "Proposed Thirteenth Amendment
to the Constitution to Prevent Secession, 1861 (Corvin Amendment.") But, first, how is revisionist history
defined? Historical revisionism is the
reinterpretation of orthodox views of evidence, motivations, and
decision-making processes surrounding a historical events.
