Leftists across the world wage war on history. “The future is certain,” they used to joke in the Soviet Union. “It’s the past that keeps changing.” In the USA, we have the 1619 Project, launched by the New York Times to discredit America by warping our history. In China, ideological compadres of the NY Times go after Genghis Khan:

In Inner Mongolia, stone tablets on the great emperor have been painted over or destroyed in Hulun Buir, and his portraits removed from schools, while the CCP tries to rewrite history.

Inner Mongolia is under occupation by communist China. Its population is in the process of being displaced by the Chinese.

Until recently, the memory of Genghis Khan was a matter of pride for those living in Inner Mongolia, and the Inner Mongolia Museum in Hohhot assembled an internationally famous collection of documents and works of art connected with the great conqueror.

Things, however, changed with Xi Jinping. On the one hand, the Chinese president is trying to rewrite history, downplaying all elements and characters in the history of China who were not Han Chinese. On the other hand, Xi Jinping believes it is now time to “sinicize” Inner Mongolia and to eradicate Mongol culture and language, of which Genghis Khan is a symbol.

Demographic engineering is also underway in the USA. Using tactics comparable to those of the Chinese Communist Party, leftists have discredited and even demonized our great heroes, denouncing the Founding Fathers as slave owners, which is nearly as absurd as criticizing them for not owning laptops.

Statues of everyone from Christopher Columbus to Teddy Roosevelt have been defaced and torn down by rioters praised by the media as “peaceful protesters” and by President in Waiting Kamala Harris as “the heroes of our time.” This is in parallel to the ChiCom campaign to eradicate all things Mongol.

Like Leon Trotsky hunted down by Stalin in Mexico, history is not even safe abroad:

Last month, an exhibition on “Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire” was cancelled at the last moment by the History Museum in Nantes, in France, due to pressures from the Chinese Embassy. The latter had asked to remove from the name of the exhibition the words “Genghis Khan,” “Mongol,” and “Empire.” Obviously, nothing would have been left.

How long before a Harris Administration bullies weak countries into canceling exhibitions preserving the memory of our allegedly “dark history”?
