Shakespeare Slated for Decolonization

If moonbats prevail, future Britons will no longer have the IQ to produce another William Shakespeare. But at least no one can take the Bard of Avon away from them — unless he gets canceled for being Caucasian:

The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, which owns his homes and some archival material linked to his birth, has been urged to “purge” its vast collections “of Anglocentric and colonialist thought”.

After academics raised concerns that venerating the writer could promote white supremacy, the trust has agreed to “create a more inclusive museum experience”.

Materials the museum is entrusted to preserve may be in danger:

The trust, which was established in 1847, has stated that the historical materials it holds may represent “values and stereotypes that are not consistent with the current values and practices” of its organisation. It has warned those who view its manuscripts and artefacts that they “may encounter language or depictions that are racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise harmful”.

How long tolerant liberals will allow the preservation of such manuscripts and artifacts remains to be seen.

The trust’s collections risk showcasing European culture as the world standard for high art, the project said, which was pushed through “colonial inculcation” and the use of Shakespeare as a symbol of “British cultural superiority”.

How dare people take pride in their culture? Wokeness requires them to despise their traditions and history, and to replace their culture with something no one could take pride in.

The museum denounces pride in Shakespeare’s greatness as “epistemic violence” that contributes to problematically “Anglocentric, Eurocentric, and increasingly ‘West-centric’ worldviews.”

King Lear's blind Gloucester could see where this is heading. Shakespeare himself committed the ultimate act of racism by being European. Unless he is retroactively transracialized into an African immigrant, he will need to be — as another English author might put it — vaporized.

Democrats Admit Why They Erased Henry Hyde

Even as names erased as part of their War on History begin to be restored, Democrats continue to cancel the disfavored dead.

From suburban Chicago’s Daily Herald:

The courthouse [in Wheaton] became the Henry J. Hyde Judicial Office Facility in 2010, three years after the Republican lawmaker from Wood Dale died at 83 years old.

[DuPage] County [Illinois] board members voted 10-5 along party lines to remove Hyde’s name from the building.

Here’s why tolerant liberals want to inflict postmortem punishment on Hyde, even though he shared their hostility to gun rights:

Republicans strongly opposed the decision. But the resolution was supported by Democrats, who referenced the Hyde Amendment, legislation introduced by Hyde in 1976 to block the use of federal funds to pay for abortions, with some exceptions.

Democrats want you to be forced to pay for other people to kill their own children, thereby making you morally complicit in genocide to the extent that you agree to live under the US Government. Hyde will not be forgiven for having the decency to stand in their way.

Explicitly referencing the Hyde Amendment, Democrat DuPage County Board Chair Deborah Conroy crowed:

“I believe our actions should reflect our values.”

That they do. Again we are reminded that the Democratic Party goes well beyond merely being wrong.

Fort Bragg Restored

History matters, because it forms our national identity. That’s why liberals have been erasing it. But with pro-Americans in charge, history is being restored.

Mount McKinley is Mount McKinley again, named after US President William McKinley, thanks to an executive order by Donald Trump. Now this:

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed an order Monday restoring the name of a storied special operations forces base back to Fort Bragg. The North Carolina base was renamed Fort Liberty in 2023 as part of a national effort under the Biden administration to remove names that honored Confederate leaders.

If Confederates thought they would be erased without due respect, they might have fought to the last man. In Civil War times, Americans were honorable on both sides. Due to the moral decay that has become institutionalized in the Democratic Party, this is no longer the case. Fortunately, like the Biden Regime’s name for Fort Bragg, the decay can be reversed.

Hollywood Makes Russians Black

To get an idea of how far the liberal establishment wants to divorce us from reality, consider that they want us to believe blacks were prevalent in revolutionary Russia:

At least they won’t make genocidal fiends like Lenin and Stalin black. That would be racist. Then again, they might redefine Lenin and Stalin as the good guys.

Moonbats control not only Tinseltown but also the schools. Imagine what kids are being taught in history class.

Resistance to Biden’s Gaslighting on “Garbage” Insult

Bureaucrats and journalists are at the core of the Democrat power base, but even some of them are appalled by the regime’s attempt to erase Joe Biden’s ill-timed pre-election proclamation that half the American population consists of “garbage.”

Via AP of all people:

White House press officials altered the official transcript of a call in which President Joe Biden appeared to take a swipe at supporters of Donald Trump, drawing objections from the federal workers who document such remarks for posterity, according to two U.S. government officials and an internal email obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.

“Appeared to take a swipe”? Biden called us garbage. But at least this wording is better than Norah O’Donnell’s lie that the insult was hissed “inadvertently.”

Quoth Biden:

“The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters.”

What didn’t float with the public was Biden’s nasty insult, which called to mind the bitter clingers jab by Obama and Shrillary’s “basket of deplorables.” So,

The transcript released by the White House press office … rendered the quote with an apostrophe, reading “supporter’s” rather than “supporters,” which aides said pointed to Biden criticizing [Trump rally comedian Tony] Hinchcliffe, not the millions of Americans who are supporting Trump for president. …

[A supervisor] called the press office’s handling of the matter “a breach of protocol and spoliation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices.”

Meanwhile, Trump exploited Biden’s bile masterfully. As for House Republicans:

Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., on Wednesday accused White House staff of “releasing a false transcript” of Biden’s remarks. …

Stefanik and Comer said the action could be in violation of the Presidential Records Act of 1978.

Joe Biden broke the law? Say it’s not so.

Putting up a fight over the apostrophe is worthwhile, because it represents a line that must not be crossed. “The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth,” predicted George Orwell. If his prediction comes true, we will have absolute tyranny.

English Universities Abolish Anglo-Saxons

The self-hatred at the core of leftism has reached such an extreme in academia that the University of Nottingham is erasing Anglo-Saxons — a.k.a. people who are ethnically English — from English history. File this one under cultural genocide:

[I]n a move to “decolonise the curriculum”, professors have renamed a masters course in Viking and Anglo-Saxon Studies as Viking and Early Medieval English Studies.

To “decolonize” is to purge of Western Civilization, which is regarded as unholy in the moonbat religion.

The university has also said it is seeking to “problematize the term ‘Viking’”…

You can see why Google’s AI pretends Vikings were of African ancestry.

The stated objective is to suppress “nationalist narratives.” To take pride in English civilization is thoughtcrime.

It isn’t only English academics who want to purge the English from history.

It follows a similar move in the United States, where academics in particular have campaigned against the term “Anglo-Saxon” because it suggests a distinct, native Englishness.

There is no such thing as Englishness, just as there is no such thing as a woman.

The terminology of “Early mediaeval England” is the preferred replacement for “Anglo-Saxon” by academics concerned that the latter has become a phrase used by racists surrounding white identity.

A racist is a white person who doesn’t like it that the ruling class wants them not to exist.

In 2023, it was revealed that the University of Cambridge, home to a leading Anglo-Saxon department, was teaching students that Anglo-Saxons did not exist as a distinct ethnic group as part of efforts to undermine “myths of nationalism”.

Next social engineers will claim there is no such thing as Caucasians — because saying it is a step toward making it true.

The [insanity at University of Nottingham] follows a pledge made in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests to decolonise the curriculum, a term denoting a move away from Western-centred material and the dominance of “white voices” in academia.

We certainly wouldn’t want white voices heard in a place like England — which will probably see a name change to New Jamaica in the foreseeable future.

It would be impossible to overstate the perniciousness of ivory tower leftists. Entrusting them as the custodians of Western history and heritage is like putting pedophiles in charge of schools and children’s entertainment.

Hopefully the communist Chinese are keeping records of European history, so that it won’t be forgotten entirely.

Abraham Lincoln Was Now Homosexual

Great news for history buffs. Liberals had slated Abraham Lincoln for cancelation. But now it looks like his sentence for being a titan of American history has been reduced to homosexualization:

Special Occasion Studios and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) announced Thursday a partnership with the new feature documentary film, “Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln.”

Human Rights Campaign is a militant organization that exists to impose the LGBT agenda.

Opening Sept. 6 and directed by Shaun Peterson, “Lover of Men” examines Lincoln’s intimate and romantic relationships with men throughout his life.

Because leftist social engineers currently consider this calumny to advance their agenda, future generations may grow up accepting it as common wisdom that Abraham Lincoln wallowed in sexual deviancy.

You might think Abraham Lincoln would be sacred to progressives for freeing the hallowed slaves. But nothing is sacred to moonbats except moonbattery.

History Rewritten After Crowning of Queen Kamala

Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. By the same token, Kamala Harris — who was ranked the most extreme leftist in the US Senate — has always been a moderate. On behalf of the Democratic Party, the liberal establishment has spoken:

GovTrack, an organization that tracks congressional voting records, confirmed to Fox News Digital it had removed a 2019 web page that ranked Kamala Harris as that year’s “most liberal” U.S. senator sometime within the last two weeks.

The self-described “government transparency website” scored Harris as the “most liberal compared to all senators” in 2019, outranking Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren at the time.

“Transparency” is Liberalese for “opacity.”

It should be noted that Sanders and Warren are effectively communists.

If Elon Musk didn’t own Twitter, this might be memory holed:

Likewise, Cackling Kamala used to be the Border Czar. Now, in light of the border being an unmitigated catastrophe, she was never the Border Czar, according to the same Axios that repeatedly referred to her as the Border Czar:

Like they used to say in the USSR, the future is certain; it’s the past that keeps changing. If Democrats hold on to power, America will be the Soviet Union recreated by degenerate mental defectives.

BBC Version of 1066 Has Black Britons

As George Orwell wrote in his instruction manual for modern liberals,

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”

Here’s how the entertainment industry applies the strategy:

The BBC has chosen a “racially diverse cast” to play the characters in its upcoming historical drama about the Battle of Hastings, which occurred in 1066, leading one historian to decry the “bizarre notion that there were black earls in Anglo-Saxon England.”

The BBC inspired Orwell to name the torture chamber at the Ministry of Love “Room 101.” Once again this coercively subsidized propaganda platform pushes moonbattery to the furthest limits of self-parody. It would not be more preposterous to have an earl in Medieval England played by a talking kangaroo.

Maybe the BBC is hoping viewers will tune in to see whether William the Conqueror was now a transvestite. Or maybe the Beeb doesn’t care whether people watch the crap it excretes, since they have to pay for it regardless.

We can’t lay all the blame on Britain’s socialized media:

The eight-part series King and Conqueror, which is a CBS Studios co-production, will feature numerous non-white characters, including one taking the role of a real 11th-century leader.

This should at least prevent people from taking anything from CBS at face value — not that anyone does anyway.

Among those contributing to the DEI,

Black actor Jason Forbes will play the fictional character Thane Thomas, “with the “thanes” being a layer of nobility in the ethnically homogeneous society of Anglo-Saxon England,” reports the Telegraph.

Within a few generations, Britain will always have been populated by BIPOCs.

By erasing British history, they are retroactively erasing the British people. Immigration policy will see to the erasure going forward.

Episcopal Church Replaces St. George With LGBTism

After a church has been infiltrated and subverted, it no longer exists to worship God but on the contrary to worship sin. The Episcopal Church has made this explicit:

From the Office of Public Affairs:

In affirmation and celebration of The Episcopal Church’s LGBTQ+ members, the Office of Communication is pleased to unveil a new Pride shield available online for churchwide use.

It is not LGBTetc members that are being celebrated, or the church would help them redeem themselves. It is their behavior. Church members are called upon to revere a symbol for sexual perversion in place of the Cross.

The social engineers are at war with both Christianity and Western history. They removed the Cross of Saint George that was the main feature of the original shield logo. Not the Bee is not pleased:

THEY ERASED THE 500-YEAR-HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH REFORMATION THAT ESTABLISHED THEIR DENOMINATION, BUILT UPON THE MARTYRDOM OF A 1,700-YEAR-OLD SAINT WHO DIED FOR JESUS CHRIST, AND REPLACED IT WITH THE GAY COMMIE RAINBOW.

Saint George has been vaporized.

Queen Charlotte Gets a Race Change

The news media lies to our faces to promote moonbattery, so why shouldn’t museums?

The audio guide for the Royal Museums Greenwich tells visitors that despite what “insecure white boys” have said, George III’s wife was the first British royal from a non-white background.

Queen Charlotte’s purported ethnicity has been sidelined because of “structural racism”, according to the guide, which states that she was a “person of colour”.

Queen Charlotte was now mixed race because she is portrayed that way in a Netflix series — just as Cleopatra was falsely depicted as a Negress. The leftist ideologues running the entertainment industry are rewriting history to suit their narrative. This fake history is replacing the education youth would receive if leftists hadn’t destroyed the schools.

Queen Charlotte was of German ancestry. But factual accuracy is not a priority among those entrusted to preserve our heritage:

The history trail with its own online audio guide was created for Royal Museums Greenwich by Christian Adore, a self-declared “homosexual historian” seeking to share “deliciously gay stories” from the past.

Royal Museums Greenwich’s largest site is the Nation Maritime Museum, where curators’ contempt for British history takes the form of belittling its greatest heroes:

In one interactive display, a bust of Lord Nelson is berated by a “migrant goddess” figure, who tells heroic British admirals to “move over” to make room for “unsung heroes of the sea”.

The audiovisual display states that the “bravery and resilience” of Nelson, who was killed during the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, is also shared by others, including migrants who make sea crossings.

Leftists degrade and destroy Western Civilization because they hate it. They are the worst people on earth to put in charge of museums.

Racist Decries Lack of Blacks in Depiction of Feudal Japan

These days, everything that ever happened anywhere gets shoehorned into Afrocentric ideology:

The 2024 version of Shogun begins in 1600, as did the 1980 version, both based on the novel by James Clavell. …

1980 Shogun, starring Richard Chamberlain, also reinforced the white savior trope, far too common in film, television, and history books.

The 2024 version focuses far more on the Japanese perspective. The white characters appearing in the first episodes representing Portugal, Spain, England, and Holland could hardly be deemed heroic.

So far so woke. A part of Americana “hailed by many as a cinematic wonder” has been reconstructed so as to comply with liberal establishment ideology by denigrating Caucasians. But wait:

I ask the question now that I naively didn’t ask in 1980. Where are the Black people?

Answer: somewhere other than feudal Japan. However, author William Spivey asserts with a straight face that a shogun who lived in the 8th century was black.

Care to guess Spivey’s racial background?

Indians Erased From American Museum of Natural History

According to progressive doctrine, it is racist not to expunge Indians from American culture. Leftist bullies have imposed name changes on sports teams and iconic landmarks like Squaw Peak in Phoenix. They deleted the Indian maiden from butter packaging. They even canceled the crying Indian from the old public service ads that encouraged us not to litter. Now they are purging Indians from museums:

History lovers slammed the American Museum of Natural History for shuttering all its Native American-related displays Friday, with one disappointed historophile saying the now-empty major exhibition halls and display cabinets show “history being made secret.”

Museum director Sean Decatur explains why nearly 10,000 square feet of exhibition space that featured Indians now stands empty:

“The halls we are closing are artifacts of an era when museums such as ours did not respect the values, perspectives and indeed shared humanity of Indigenous peoples.”

That is, Indians have been canceled because moonbattery.

Again the federal government imposes wokeness:

The alterations are a response to new federal regulations that went into effect this month regarding the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act…

In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, firemen don’t put out fires; they start them, burning down houses in which books have been discovered. Likewise, in our real life dystopia, museums don’t preserve history; they erase it.

Future generations will hardly know that Indians existed, another aspect of American heritage having been senselessly destroyed by the cultural vandalism of liberal social engineers.

Early Swedes Were Now Black

It would be hard to imagine a group of people less black than characteristically blond and blue-eyed Swedes. But no lie is too outlandish to be rammed down the public’s throat by the moonbats running state media as they wage war on history to bring it into compliance with their hostile ideology:

As the Nordic Times reported last year,

The first Swedes are portrayed by black Africans and people from the Middle East in Sweden’s tax-funded state TV channel SVT’s blockbuster “History of Sweden”. Critics accuse SVT of falsifying history and the ‘experts’ involved of spreading propaganda for ideological reasons.

Historien om Sverige (The history of Sweden) is not just any TV series, but SVT’s biggest ever historical venture, which has taken three years to produce and will be broadcast this fall.

Europeans may have had darker skin in caveman days than they do now. As the theory goes, lighter skin evolved to help synthesize vitamin D. Even so:

Seven people from the 7700-year-old Motala archaeological site in southern Sweden had both light skin gene variants, SLC24A5 and SLC45A2. They also had a third gene, HERC2/OCA2, which causes blue eyes and may also contribute to light skin and blond hair. Thus ancient hunter-gatherers of the far north were already pale and blue-eyed…

But then, if Anne Boleyn could be black, why not Swedes? Believe — or prepare to get canceled for being a racist.

If all goes well for leftist social engineers, they will eventually use their control of the media to convince all Caucasians that they and those in their immediate physical vicinity are the only white people who ever existed.
