Greetings, Loyal readers. Buzz Buzby, your investigative reporter, is ready now to submit to you a project that I have worked on for at least 11 minutes. It’s been exhausting, but nothing is too good for you.
Today we are focused upon a remarkable phenomenon-the erasure of the “American memory” for all things American. This effort at erasure has been at the forefront of our trusted and valued leaders for almost a century. They have worked long and hard to make it a reality and today I can report to you with 100 percent confidence, that their efforts have succeeded.
To explain what I have found to explain this whole process of erasure- I think it might be a good idea to look at exactly what this “erasure” project is all about. To do this, it is probably best to go right to the basics, that is, the basic “template” for this ruling class effort: the cultural revolution of Chairman Mao(which gave our ruling class the idea).
Many years ago- I think I was 7 or 8(so maybe 1957/58), the leadership of the Communist Party of China claimed that their great revolution was being sabotaged by the “memory” the Chinese people had for their own heritage( i. e. thousands of years of Chinese history, values, and morals).
( The ruling class asks: Isn’t that our problem too? Aren’t we laced with a whole host of “traditional ” Americans who believe in our constitution, our freedoms, and our capitalist business model? And isn’t this “memory ” holding us back from the green revolution, the progressive agenda, even our wonderful efforts to transgender our kids.)
To deal with outdated, counterproductive, even destructive, traditional way of thinking, Chairman Mao set about to fix the problem by essentially erasing the memory of China of its own past. He followed a two-step process:
- Step 1: he replaced the police with his “RED GUARD” who went about the entire country forcibly destroying any vestige of the “FOUR OLDS”: traditional morals, culture, economy, thinking. They eradicated “traditional” language; traditional architecture; traditional street names. traditional writings. Everything that spoke of the old ways. They arrested and executed School principals, teachers, writers, religious. They tore down statutes of traditional heroes. They banned and burned books that spoke of traditional ways or thoughts. By the use of force, fear and violence, they eradicated everything that the Chinese people held near and dear and in one generation created a school class that knew zero about any part of Chinese culture that predated Chairman Mao.( “How cool can you get?” proclaims our ruling class.)
- Step 2: Chairman Mao, and his “red Guard” force fed the “new” generation with the vision of Chairman Mao- a Communist vision-and turned them into goose stepping followers of everything Chairman Mao fed them.
In the eyes of the Communist regime of then and now, this was “the” turning point for the creation of the “New World Order” that now controls mainland China. Old thoughts, old values, and old beliefs were erased and replaced with the new thoughts of the Chairman.
Our leadership in this country is no less dedicated to our betterment than was Chairman Mao to the Chinese. They have learned from the Chairman, and guess what, they have for the goodness of our country- brought to America the same “fix “that Chairman Mao brought to China. They have decided to erase from our collective memories the “old” and replace them with the “new.”
Having completed my investigation into this very timely subject, I can confidently report to you that both step 1 and step 2 of Chairman Mao’s program to erase the old and replace it with the “new” is in full swing.
Our trusted and worthy leaders, however, knew that they did not need to resort to any of the violence or terror that Chairman Mao utilized. Nope. All our trusty leaders had to do was tell us that everything American is evil and should be replaced with their new “Good.” American apathy would then take over, and voila-the old is gone, and the new is alive.
Now, some of you might be skeptical of my assertion.
No problem.
I am more than capable of proving my “conclusion” that the ruling class has erased our “American” memory of what it means to be an American. (Keep in mind that you cannot belong to WOKE IN THE 3RD DEGREE unless you have an erased mind).
I will need the help of my trusty assistant, Timothy H.(Hasno)Bottoms. Tim is not a great reporter. He misspells words all the time, but he means well, and today he has done us all a great service: he has found a way to allow us to travel back in time to September 14, 1814. (You know that date, right?).
Timothy: Greetings, Buzz. Sorry, but I have some bad news. I had hoped to get us into the bunker where Francis Scott Key was watching the battle for Fort McHenry.( For those of you whose memory is erased, Francis Scott
Key wrote the “Star Spangled Banner, our national anthem, after watching the battle from a high rampart, a hillside above the battle zone, Fort Mchenry, just outside of Baltimore.) The best I could do is to get us into the bunker right next to him. Unfortunately, we have to share it with a squad of British soldiers. I had to tell them that we support the king, so don’t make me out a liar or we are dead.
(British Officer) Second Lieutenant Rankswell: “Good evening, sirs. State your business or be prepared for a sound drubbing!”
Timothy: We are reporters for…oops, you won’t know our paper. We are local farmers looking for lost donkeys. We did not know a battle was ensuing and took cover here to avoid certain death.”
Rankswell: Yes, it is a bit dangerous out there. These damned Yankees are defiantly holding their Fort against our vastly superior forces. Tenacious lot, I will give them that. We have been shelling them all day. We offered them surrender. They responded with numerous gestures of ill will, middle finger waiving across the entire fortress. That is their choice, but they are an ignorant lot. They know not with whom they deal. We have in place our best and most fierce cannons. Orders have come down now that we are to shell them continuously – with cannon ball and rockets-until they are humbled, or dead-we care not which.
See… look to the center of the fort…their dam flag waives despite our best efforts.
It angers all of us who are loyal to the crown, for it bespeaks of their utter defiance of the ruling class. It screams out to all England that these heathen, hateful Americans defy the ruling class and claim God has created them to be equal to our king. To our king!!!
God has decreed that certain of his children shall be ruled by their betters. Their flag defies our ruling class’s God-given right to unfettered power. If these Americans have their way, the entire world will be lost for it is only thru the rule of the superior class that any order or progress can be made. We have vowed that that flag of theirs will come down. Their defiance will be their doom. Our Cannoneers are expert marksmen. They have been ordered to shell that dam Flag until it is dust. It is just a matter of time for the flag to be gone and the Fort reduced to rubble. We gave them a chance to surrender. Now we take no prisoners.
Buzz: “Tell me, sir, where are we?”
Rankswell: “Pardon, sir. I thought you said you were local farmers. Why ask where you are? (lowering his pistol to better shoot the duo).
Timothy: Ah… yes, sir. I am a local. My friend here is from Portsmouth, a far piece from here. I
believe we are very near Fort Mchenry near Baltimore, Maryland. It’s an American fort. See, off in the distance are many a British Ship of the Line, bombarding the fort from one side while the British Army blasts it from the other. From what
I can see from this vantage point, that fort has no reason to be standing. It is battered on all sides and in all manner with destruction. How could those traitors hold out?”
Rockswell: Ah, Gentlemen, forgive me. It moved me greatly the thought that you were joined with the Americans. Our good King cannot abide these treacherous Americans and has ordered that all Americans be dealt with by all means necessary.
Buzz: Kind sir. Pray tell-I am not familiar with this war being waged. I am true to the Crown (B. S I am lying thru my teeth to outfox you, you stupid, ignorant red coat!) and have lived peacefully under the Crowns protection (Never did but what you don’t know won’t hurt me). It grieves to see this fight (especially if you are winning). Help me-why is the crown shelling this fort?
Rockswell: Truly sir, where have you been? The traitorous Americans fired upon his majesty’s army and engaged his majesty’s navy without provocation in the year of our lord 1812. The American congress in fact voted for war because they dreamed of empire. In 1804, President Jefferson paid a paltry sum to buy the Louisiana territories-from none other than the enemy of every loyal British subject, the Emperor Napoleon-stretching from New Orleans to the vast prairies of the far west. We British said “NO!” to this westward expansion. It was bad enough what happened in 1781 with the defeat of Cornwallis at hands of Washington and the French navy. The Crown could not accept that any American Government would control much less govern such a vast expanse. The very thought that the scandalous thoughts that flow thru the American veins could not be contained is repugnant to all who fight for the King. We are here to squelch every such ruinous thought, just the same as we squelched Napoleon and exiled him.
Buzz whispers to Timothy: “Timothy, in case you did not know, the British army was defeated in Virginia with the help of the French Navy. Ever since that time, the British have tried to retake their American Colonies. They banned any trade with America so long as the Americans traded with the French. They intercepted American ships and “impressed” American sailors into the British navy. They allied with the natives to stage war on the Americans in the Ohio valley, Michigan and other points.
The simple fact is that the British see themselves as the rulers of the world, and they wish for their “NEW “World order to prevail. The Americans have loudly stated “F*CK Joe Biden…no, no, wait…wrong century…they said F*CK KING CHARLES and the British simply cannot allow the Americans to defy the imperial rule of England.
Timothy(whispering back to Buzz): “I don’t get it. The Americans are hopelessly outmatched. It is certain doom. The British got tons of cannons, both on land and in the bay. They are pummeling the crap out of Fort Mchenry. Why don’t the Americans just give up and save their dam lives?
Buzz to Timothy: Good question, Tim. That is if you are thinking like an American in the year of our Lord, 2023: In 2023, America and the values for which it stands are no longer of any significance. No one sees anything worth fighting for or dying for. Any American from 2023 would just give up. And open a can of bud light, saying “What’s all the hubbub, bub?”
I mean, who cares about a flag. So what if the ruling class owns everything and dictates what we do, when we do it, and how it gets done. Who cares that our children are owned by the ruling class. Who cares if they desecrate our churches, our constitution and sleep with our kindergartners. Nothing is worth fighting them for it.
Not so back then. In 1814, the American flag meant something. It meant freedom. It meant we had rights: rights to own land; right to express our own thoughts; rights to have our children safe from the evil that prowled the world claiming the right to own them body, soul, genitals included (after all, what is more demeaning to a “free” man but that a member of the ruling class does what he will with my son, or my daughter).
Our Flag meant so much more back then: So long as it flew, our flag meant that we as a people were endowed by our creator (not some sick bastard who by claim of birth, or genetic superiority or wealth claimed to rule us) with certain inalienable rights. That amongst these are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’.
Back then, the ruling class knew what the flag meant. So too did the Americans in Fort Mchenry. So too does the ruling class of 2023. The only ones who don’t are the WOKE IN THE THIRD DEGREE.”
Timothy: Wow, Buzz. did not know you felt like this. Should we return to …
Buzz: “Return? Back to the 2023 clown world? Not yet. You don’t know how deeply those Americans in Fort Mchenry loved their country. But you are about too. We are going to sit here thru the night. We are going to watch the most powerful army and navy in the world seek to destroy-by endless bombardment-those proud farmers, lawyers, merchants…black…white… Indian… Catholic… protestant…rich man, poor man…pioneer women-those Americans. And we are going to watch those “helpless” Americans keep that flag flying high and beautiful because they know, and the ruling class knows, as long as it is flying, the hope and belief in freedom is alive and well. As long as it is flying in the face of the horrific onslaught by the ruling class the flag screams out for all the world to hear: F*ck you, Ruling class, F*ck you, Joe Biden!”
Buzz looked out now upon the battlefield. Tim went quiet and hunkered down next to him. The British guns went off at a relentless and destructive pace. Some of the older cannons shot 16 pound rounds that pounded the hell out of the fortress walls. Other cannons sent projectiles screeching thru the sky only to explode directly over the Fort spewing shrapnel and death in its path. Both Buzz and Tim thought back to the song Francis Scott Key was just now writing (as he looked out over the ramparts-the hillside above the fort- of where he sat). They watched as the British sent endless cannon balls right there in front of them. Seeing what they were seeing they both realized that the words of the song were true: the bombs were bursting in air; the rockets did have a red glare.
Moreover, and indeed, far more important, seeing what they were seeing made them aware of who those Americans were:
“Heroes? Courageous men and women? ” asked Tim of Buzz.
“Yes, but more than heroes or folks’ with courage.” responded Buzz “They are men and women who looked upon eternity, upon God and upon the ruling class and said” I am more than what they say I am. I am who God says I am. And if all they got is death to take from me what God meant me to have, well, bring it on. They took away from me all that God made me to be for over a thousand years. They are done. Our flag will not fall. Who we are will not fail!”
As night fell, the British added to the exploding cannon balls endless rounds of rockets. Like in the song, the rockets gave off a red glare as they soared thru space and struck inside the fort setting fire to structures, horses, men and women.
The bombardment continued without let up all thru the nite. The British navy contributed their share lighting up the sky and pounding the life out of the Fort.
Every so often either the rockets red glare or the bombs bursting in air lit up the part of the Fort where the flag was standing.
It was on a very tall pole, maybe the trunk of a tree, and stood alone not attached to any building. Tim and Buzz eagerly watched at each chance the explosions gave them to see the flag and see if it fell. One time, it looked like the flagpole took a direct hit, as the pole seemed to totter and then start to fall. Somehow, it stood up, but listed heavily to the left. But like the song said, they watched it thru the nite and saw that the flag still waved.
Buzz and Tim got no sleep that nite. They watched and watched-all the while fearing that the flag and the ‘Americans would fall. No one-they thought- could stand up to the onslaught, the horrible bombardment. No one.
When daylight seemed to be nearby, Tim and Buzz stared even more intently at the Fort. As did every British Red Coat.
They had not seen the flag fall.Noone had.
Buzz and Tim knew the words of the national anthem. Were the words wrong? made up?
The dawns early light showed massive destruction.
It showed much more.
Suddenly a cheer from the Americans(just as the sun came up).
“THE FLAG, THAT BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL FLAG WAS STILL THERE. WITH BROAD STRIPES. WITH BRIGHT STARS. IT STOOD-DESPITE THE PERILOUS FIGHT”
“Hurrah” screamed the Americans. “Hurrah! Hurrah!”
(Buzz swore he heard the Americans say “F*ck you , Joe Biden?” but Tim said “No way….Well, maybe.”)
Francis Scott Key must have seen the same as his words were true: the flag was still there!
And he revealed the sentiment he felt: “What so proudly we hail!!!”
America took the best the Ruling class had to give and stood defiantly waving our flag and in doing so proudly proclaimed who we are as Americans, a people the ruling class can never own.
“Go home evil one” is what that still standing flag said to the British. “This is the land of the free and the home of brave and there is no place here for the likes of you!” the never fallen flag proudly proclaimed.
if it had fallen, we would own nothing, be nothing, and according to the ruling class we would be happy.
It did not fall. They are nothing. They own nothing. And we don’t give a dam if they are happy.
Buzz: “Well, folks, I think I have proven my case. I am sure you know little of any of this American” memory.”
The ruling class does not want any of us to know anything about our flag, Fort Mchenry nor the battle that caused Francis Scott Key to write out national anthem. They want to erase all of that from your-our-memory and replace it with …nothing.
“Just stop singing it.” they say. “America is a horrible country” they say.
Our national anthem is just part of a past that we should all forget as it is just another example of white racism, white privilege and is a very evil remnant of Americas opressive past.
“Just forget why the song was written” they say. Just forget what it means and the fact that those horribly outnumbered, outgunned and very defiant Americans looked the ruling class in the eye and said “Go Home.”
And you say “ok. what is the big deal. Pass the Bud light,”
“Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe you know all about what happened back then at Fort Mchenry. Maybe you have already decided not to forget. If so, I apologize. But either way, ask now-
Why should we forget what those courageous and defiant Americans did that day. And why they did it.
The flag that stood thru the nite-it said to the ruling British class-the aristocracy that thought themselves superior to all-“We can take whatever you got and shove it up your “Arse”.”
Here’s a thought: maybe it says the same thing to our current want to be ruling class. Maybe that is why they want to erase it.
Maybe that is why we should not let them erase our memory.
Close your eyes. See Fort Mchenry. See those brave men and women.
Now, hear yourself “HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH!”
God Bless!
