Historical Revisionism, Populism and Monkeys
============================================
[From *The Barnes Review*, January 1995]
 
 
*The Barnes Review* is a magazine of revisionist history, meaning 
that our aim is to bring history into accord with the facts.
 
The reader is surely justified in pointing out that history is 
supposed to be an account of the facts in the first place. Why 
then does history have to be "revised" at all?
 
The answer to that question is itself a historical law: History 
is always written by the winner and never by the loser. That is 
to say, the facts that become history are selected, distorted, 
suppressed or invented by the historians chosen by the winner to 
do the job.
 
Of course, in the "Western democracies," we are not supposed to 
say, or even think, heresy like this. As true believers in the 
public mythos, we all know that in "democracies" people are free 
and government is above-board and subject to the will of the 
voters. Unfortunately, this myth gets more and more difficult to 
swallow. At some point, those who are subject to American 
democracy, for example, must admit that the word is a placebo 
meant to placate and bemuse the taxpayers while the economic and 
political establishment does what it damn well wants. If any 
documentation for this is needed, please reflect back to last 
month when a lame duck Congress joined hands across the aisle and 
voted to undermine American sovereignty and accept GATT and the 
World Trade Organization, which at least 75 percent of the voters 
opposed. Democracy, you say? What, then, is tyranny?
 
When the communists were in control of Russia and the USSR, the 
history of Russia, the USSR and the world was far different from 
what it was under the czars and what it is known to be today by 
distinguished Russian historians, such as Igor Shafarevich or 
Wladimir Soloukhin. Unfortunately, historical distortion is not 
confined to foreign nations.
 
The global plantation envisioned as our future by the 
international bankers and their acolytes in the corporate 
community and among the herd of international planners they 
employ mandates but two classes -- the very rich and their 
servants (including their hired intellectuals and historians), 
and the very poor without distinction as to race, gender, 
nationality or religion.
 
Thus, if history must be revised in the interest of truth to put 
down the mouthpieces of the special interests who would control 
our minds, and if populism is correctly defined as statecraft 
conducted for the purpose of putting down the special interests 
in the broad interest of the public as a whole, then it is 
evident that the relationship between revisionist history as an 
intellectual discipline and populism as a philosophy of 
government is indubitable.
 
Looking at it from the other end, establishment history and 
populism are as incompatible as are revisionism and establishment 
politics.
 
The popular lore of "democracy" also requires that no 
conspiracies of the planners exist. Those opposed to the social 
order and other criminals may engage in conspiracies but surely 
not the sainted democrats. This may be called the good monkey 
theory -- hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. The fact 
is, at any one time there are virtually as many conspiracies 
operating as there are ambitions. The demise of Soviet communism 
has not eliminated the conspiracy factor from history.
 
Unless we are monkeys, we must open our eyes and we will see that 
revisionist history requires inquiry into the same areas that 
lure populists and are righteously avoided by establishment 
politicians, pundits and historians. These areas include the 
esoteric world of international banking, the history and nature 
of money, enigmatic and seldom-mentioned organizations or 
movements, such as the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, 
Grand Orient Freemasonry, Scientology, international political 
Zionism and other conspiracies seeking illegitimate power. 
Revisionist history must also necessarily seek the forbidden 
knowledge of racial and ethnic differences. And perhaps it may 
also even brave the feminists and peek into that "little 
difference" between men and women.
 
Of course, to taste these forbidden fruits one must be ready to 
confront the establishment, which habitually and historically 
always tries to smite down revisionist history and populism.
 
To be a revisionist, then, one must achieve a level of 
intellectual sophistication above that of most Americans who 
credulously believe in semantic nonsense, such as "democracy," or 
"equality," or "freedom of the press," or even "freedom," terms 
which are defined by the enemy: those conspirators who use them 
as weapons of intellectual repression and human control.
 
We trust you agree that it is time for us to remove our hands 
from our eyes, ears and lips. It will prepare us to defy our 
keepers, escape and survive in the lively months and years to 
come.
