Pulling out another chapter from the Heritage Foundation playbook "Project 25" Trump is attempting to rewrite history, knowing it'll get a lot of press time. It's a classic example of shouting squirrel! on a massive scale.
Visitors walking into the Smithsonian Institution Museum of American History, in Washington D.C., could see temporary signage or exhibits alerting them of the contents inside the space, according to a July 24 executive order. Trump loves executive orders. Hey! That sounds like a TV sitcom on Fox News. But I digress.
This is a diversion that's been planned since July 4th when the White House Domestic Policy Council released a 162-page propaganda report claiming the Smithsonian museum was an "instrument" for a "radical, activist cohort" that sought to reframe "the American story to serve its ideological ends."
It's not clear if the signs are up yet. GOP House members grilled the museum's director Dr. Anthea Hartig in a hearing reminiscent of an inquisition July 21st. Watching a gaggle of election deniers and outright liars attack Dr. Hartig was like watching a scene in a courtroom in Stalin's Russia.
For the record, Stalin successfully rewrote Russian history issuing in an age of ignorance for generations.
In Jason Stanley's book "Erasing History" he exposes the ways authoritarian regimes manipulate historical narratives to maintain power. The methods used like banning books, censoring curricular, and criminalizing educators who challenge official narratives.
By now the majority of Americans can recognize those tactics because Trump has been using them in both of his terms. With his latest assault against true history, he's just ramping up for the final task when he illegally declares martial law during the midterms.
Trump can't seem to shake the Epstein investigations that are popping up around the globe and here at home. Bits of information (with no end in sight) will continue to leak out between his attempts to change the narrative.
As it Stands, no matter how shocking Trump's attempts at avoiding information (and burying revelations) are he can't shake off his buddy and partner in crime Jeffrey Epstein.
