Like 1Admin, I found the essay to be thought provoking, unlike most essay's I've found in the last several years.
I find most essay's of the last several years to be parrot talk. ie: regurgitation of what somebody else said, somebody else's Meme no matter which Quote Side Unquote they are on.
This one struck me as standing outside of the box of The Ministry of Information in 1984 and actually looking around.
Was everything said in it correct? Likely not.

I grew up as a student of history, more than most, less than some.
As a student of history who was taught to question, I learned some things I was taught were wrong.
eg:
The Cuban's didn't blow up The Maine.
The attack on Pearl Harbor wasn't really a surprise attack. At least at the highest levels.
The Liberty really was attacked by Israel on purpose.
The Pueblo wasn't ever attacked by anybody.
We didn't make the first atomic bomb, we got it and the material from the Nazi's.
The Wright brothers weren't the first to fly an airplane.
The Lusitania was a decoy designed to be attacked by Germany.
England bombed Germany before Germany bombed England.
Both houses of Congress voted to help the Bonus Marchers out and the President vetoed it.
Lots of stuff I was taught to believe.
So what am I being taught to believe today and what part of it will be later proven to have been falsehoods?
One thing I do know is what our Founders intended via the Second Amendment (which was actually the fourth amendment, (the first two concerned pay and length of terms for Congress and weren't adopted)).
They intended for every man to be armed with the equivalent of the individual soldiers armament of the day for they felt the time would come when the government would need to reigned in. (After all, they'd just freed themselves from English government).
Anybody who can't understand what that means is what Piers Morgan said,,,, A very stupid, stupid man!
