Hello. I used to think "Never Forget" also, but then somethings occurred to me.
First, of all, history is made up into legends and he who controls the printing press, controls history.
George Washington told a lie or two, Newton didn't have an Apple fall on his head. Christopher Columbus, wasn't a real guy, same with Shakesphere.
Paul Raver, didn't ride all night nor was he named Paul Raver. Jackie-O shot Kennedy...you can see it in the zap ruder film. The Gulf of Tonkin,
never happened.
I hate to say it but, Hiroshima/Nagasaki....not nuclear bombs, if you look at the pictures of Hiroshima aftermath...set models, scale size, and some
back lot stuff. The damage done there is no worse then in Germany or France and the nice thing was, Japan was so far away from the real fighting it
was perfect for staging, so no witnesses, except for those poor Japanese they got to wear the Horrible (and I mean bad, I know it was the 40's and
all, but sheesh) foam rubber burn makeup. The best is the shadows burned into the walls...that was some good brainstorming and great for the "DOD"
movies, but sorry, wouldn't happen. The heart of a Nuclear explosion, is supposed to be 1000 times hotter then the sun. No shadow was sticking
around, because nothing would be around including the walls they were "burnt" into.
Pearl Harbor...think about it...how do whole squads of planes...first of all fly all the way from Japan unnoticed. Man they must have had some crazy
fuel tanks on board, but wait then no bombs could be attached or torpedoes.
Have you ever noticed that there just happened to be a camera around for these "awe inspiring moments". There are cameras there for a reason...to
"inspire awe". D-Day...are you kidding me. No military commander in the world would land on a beach like that...it's suicide, but these things and
slogans like "Let's Roll"...who thinks up this stuff. I know. People that know how the human emotions work and how to throw off the rational of the
average working man, woman, and child, by stirring them into an emotional frenzy. You only need a good image, like a monk burning themselves, or a
little naked girl running from Napalm, or a mushroom cloud or a Navy Guy kissing his "baby" in New York, or Steven Spielberg and walla...you don't
want to forget. That's what inquisitions are for and witch hunts and commies and terrorists, because if we didn't have all of this remembering to
do, we could actually go forward.
War makes money...not oil, not nuclear, and most certainly NOT PEACE.
You make war by making up an enemy and getting everyone pissed off and upset, which they do, because they believe everything in the text book handed
to them, right after they pledge allegiance to the flag.
If we don't forget...this world will never change. Peace
