mr peters gives you a history lesson and some of its implications;
Almost everyone knows that Germany invaded Poland in September of 1939 and on account of that, the British and French declared war on Germany. Thus began World War II, as every schoolboy knows.
But what about the other thing?
How many schoolboys know that the Soviet Union also invaded Poland shortly after the Germans did? How many who do know that have ever asked how come Britain and France did not declare war on Soviet Russia? Very few. No doubt because they have not been encouraged to ask such impolite questions by the government schools, which impart a redacted and politically correct version of “history.”
This redacted and politically correct version of history frames Germany as the incarnation of All That Is Evil but avoids scrupulously informing schoolboys of the Evil that was Soviet Russia. They are not told the interesting history of the meeting at Yalta – where Stalin introduced Lavrenty Beria to Roosevelt as “our Himmler.” Heinrich Himmler is a name known to most schoolboys. Beria not so much. His predecessors, Yagoda and Dzershinsky even less so.
Why is that?...........more........
