Go down the list in Wikipedia:
Sniper massacre on the Maidan: Nothing in this article is true. I think it was written by the State Department.
Odessa Massacre: Incredibly, Wikipedia blames the anti-federalists, who it says were almost all Russian citizens, for the crime. Wikipedia says the Russians set themselves on fire! Incredible!
If you go to the M17 Malaysian jet shootdown page, Wikipedia tells us straight out, all through the article, that the Novorussian rebels shot down the jet with a Buk missile. This story has been proven to be a lie many times, and those offering the theory – the West and the Ukraine, have offered absolutely no evidence whatsoever for their theory. The entire article is nothing but fiction.
Wikipedia’s maps about the conflict are completely wrong. They show the Ukies with far more territory than they have and they show the rebels with far less territory than they have.
All my life I assumed that history was history, that is, history was fact. Now to my utter shock, I find that US imperialism is so powerful that it can actually rewrite the modern history of the world, turning truth into fiction. Because America is so respected, the US’ make-believe history is believed by hundreds of millions of fools all over the world. The ability to contaminate supposedly neutral assets like Wikipedia is shocking.
If even our own history books are full of made-up crap, how can we possibly believe what anyone says about anything anymore?
I do not know about the rest of you, but I find the contamination of history itself with politics to be extremely painful and confusing. I feel totally lost now. I always knew that the media was full of lies, but I never knew the extent of it. Yet I assumed, in my naivete, that historians would finally get it all sorted out sooner or later. After all, historians nearly have to take an oath to tell the clearest truth about past events as they can.
When history itself is contaminated by politics and ideology, when our very own past is contorted into fairy tales and lies, the human race is truly lost.
