So it seems that revolutions are never organic and everything is either a flag or a false flag. Will we ever know the truth of any historical event? Supposedly we are doomed to repeat history if we do not understand it, but since history is manufactured we only need to undertsand who is doing what to whom now, as if that's any easier to know.

History is fable, not in any sense truth. Arguably it is not even a map to an existing terrain. Sooner or later a few folks recognize they like a well told yarn and enjoy being one among others to enjoy it as a "just so" story and not Qua Truth. We are doomed to repeat history because we are men. And as men we are driven by human emotions. So this is the soil which varies among us for the flowers of history to grow. The Chinese view is not the English view nor the Brazilian.

Do we still blame banking and usury on the Jews? The death of that Jesus guy, from that one bible, wasn't that the Jews too? I don't really go in for those stories, as you know, but as long as we are looking at who did what we may has well get to the bottom of it. /s

jacquelyn I believe the way to dig to the center of the Earth is to find the rock to go into that gets us there so we can guess we have arrived. The only drollery greater than bomb making in Cuba would be arson fire school
