[AUDIOBOOK] Harry Elmer Barnes “Revisionism and the Historical Blackout“ (Part 1 of 3)

Listening to this at speed sounds better to me than normal speed (I can’t read it that quickly while maintaining clear pronunciation) 17:20 main text of chapter 1 begins, so jump to here if you want to skip the preface, intro, and biography Barnes was a “last of the Romans“ for the United States of America. He lived long enough to witness the downfall of his fatherland and its conversion into the living shell of a totalitarian globalist imperialism. This reading, a revised version of his major retrospective statement on recent history and professional historians, will rapidly demonstrate that we and Barnes start from fundamentally different premises. This man was a classical liberal and an old-fashioned progressive. Along with the other pioneers of historical revisionism, especially in the Anglophone world, Barnes held little sympathy for the cultures and ideologies of the defeated nations. He simply followed the truth by way of his own honesty and personal integrity. Barnes’ tragedy is in the role his liberal worldview played in preparing America for its fall. We join him in rejecting the path of the herd-cattle and their shepherds. We share his assessment of America’s catastrophic geopolitics in the interwar period. I am making almost no personal commentary during this recording and will discuss it separately later when all three parts are done Part one of three
