Our memory is not only the key to who we are as individuals but to who we are as a society as well.
“Entities, which lose their memory — people, groups, churches, nations — lose not just the mere knowledge of their past of who they were or have been, but they also lose the knowledge of themselves, the knowledge of their purpose, of who they are, who they’re meant to be,” Glenn Beck explains, noting that this is a massive problem today, as “we are memory holing things.”
When the past is erased, “It leaves people open to manipulation” and to “being reprogrammed with lies by whatever bad actor wants to use them for their own purposes.”
This is the open intent of many on the left — which is made clear by movements like the 1619 project and Howard Zin.
“It’s the logic behind the many reimagining policies,” Glenn says, before playing a clip of Michelle Obama perfectly illustrating his point.
“We are going to have to make sacrifices, we are going to have to change our conversation. We’re going to have to change our traditions, our history. We’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation to provide the kind of future that we all want,” Obama told an audience.
“These stories that tell us why we’re here and what we’re here to do, we have new stories for you. Stories that will tell us we’re all born in sin, that we’re all irredeemably evil, that we should be torn down forever,” Glenn mocks.
The way we fight this is to make a true effort to remember where we came from.
“Memory requires a conscious effort, a choice, a ritual. It requires that a story be told over and over and over again,” Glenn says. “The first thing we have to do is know the truth and then stand up for the truth. Stand up to say, ‘No, you have no right to memory hole an event.’”

In recent years, hundreds of millions of dollars in new investment has poured into local media, but the lion’s share is coming from left-wing activists with overtly ideological and partisan agendas.
For years, Harris has consistently held anti-American views and pushed policies that undercut her claim to “love America.”
By promoting these false histories, we move from unpacking our flawed past to politicizing it to beat our ideological opponents.
A key to the successful campaign for ethnic studies was the deception that it offers a unifying cultural learning experience, while in fact it stokes interracial hostility and delegitimizes authority.
If your kids are in public school or allowed to consume leftist mass media, you need to be talking to them about autogynephilia and gender dysphoria.
A lot is riding on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ effort to transform a single, small state college into one that is not a bastion of leftist orthodoxy.
We need a didacticism based on common sense, on remembering what has always worked, not obsessively inventing anew.

Is our administration taking notes from Vladimir Lenin? THESE facts suggest so
One of the best ways to destroy society is to completely rewrite history.
Mark Levin is afraid America’s heading down that path.
“The effort at censorship today is something we’ve never even seen or experienced as a people,” he says.
This was on full display after COVID-19, when governors were “conducting themselves like fascists” and deciding who could earn a living and who couldn’t. The American people weren’t allowed to question the “science” but were instead told to trust it.
“Wasn’t even about science. The iron fist came out and you got a taste of it,” Levin adds, noting that the notorious dictator Vladimir Lenin did the same thing.
“So not only do they project on top of non-Democrats, Republicans, and others their own sickening, murderous bloodlust of a history, but they try to destroy it in the classroom,” he continues.
The 1619 Project is a perfect example. It was written by a Marxist and pushed by the New York Times.
Levin notes that the New York Times covered up the Holocaust and did FDR’s bidding and now does the bidding of the Democrat Party.
“1619 Project is a lie, it’s a joke. But it’s in thousands and thousands of school districts and classrooms with the support and the resources of the New York Times,” he says, adding that the media pushes it all, including critical race theory.
“The Democrat Party is the monopoly party in this country. The Democrat Party is about more than winning elections; it’s about making sure that there’s no opposition. It’s okay if there’s another party running, as long as they lose,” Levin says.
And the Democrat Party is going even farther to ensure there is no opposition.
Through the educational system, the state is obsessed with indoctrinating children into a Marxist set of beliefs. “This is the effort that’s not really focused on the child,” Levin says, but rather on “destroying the relationship between the parent and the child.”
“If we’re going to control the state, the kids become either directly or indirectly the property of the state,” he continues. “And you see, this is exactly the track the Democrat Party is on.”
