THE FOG OF PROPAGANDA



History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit . . .

Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas


Especially in the 20th century, it seems, around every significant event floated a miasma, a fog of propaganda. To try to find out the truth, or the truth of what really happened, is difficult because so many people lie. So many people also exaggerate, or pretend knowledge when they do not have it.

On this Web site I am very aware that some may disagree with part or all of my more controversial historical and political judgements: they have been formed after trying to read all relevant material. But there are those who do not want the truth to come out: spin doctors, propagandists, "intellectuals for hire," liars.

So there may well be many errors of fact and interpretation on this site. I assure you that there is no hidden agenda, no angle of which I am aware but the search for truth.

I respectfully suggest that the human race would make much greater progress if people made a determined effort to speak and write with greater precision and accuracy.

On these Web pages there will from time to time be inaccuracies and errors; often of fact, sometimes of interpretation. Please do not hesitate to e-mail about my errors.

Thank you.
