the history that i was taught in elementary school, high school, & college is filled w/lies & distortions of fact. much of it appears to have been presented to ease the conscious of the descendants of child molesters, kidnappers, rapists, & murderers. if 1 studies actual history & compares the presentation of facts to what i was taught, a relatively clear pattern emerges. the maintenance of power in a political & social space has come to be very dependent on these lies & half truths. this power is maintained & protected for & by white supremacy (racism). distortion of truth to create an appearance of power is something that people who exhibit narcissistic &/or gaslighter behavior patterns will use to manipulate situations/people. here are some links related to the research for this meme: @wikipedia #Haudenosaunee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iroquois #GreatLawOfPeace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Law_of_Peace @nytimes IROQUOIS CONSTITUTION: A FORERUNNER TO COLONISTS' DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES https://www.nytimes.com/1987/06/28/us/iroquois-constitution-a-forerunner-to-colonists-democratic-principles.html @thedailybeast How an Iroquois Chief Helped Write the U.S. Constitution https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-an-iroquois-chief-helped-write-the-us-constitution @pbs How the Iroquois Great Law of Peace Shaped U.S. Democracy https://www.pbs.org/native-america/blogs/native-voices/how-the-iroquois-great-law-of-peace-shaped-us-democracy/ @howstuffworks Was the Iroquois Great Law of Peace the Source for the U.S. Constitution? https://history.howstuffworks.com/history-vs-myth/iroquois-great-law-peace-source-us-constitution.htm ・・・ #EDUCATESELF #RESEARCH #READ #bruhREAD #HISTORY #LOOKitup #JUSTtheFACTs #FACTs #RESPECTtheARCHITECTs #KNOWdontbelieve #HISTORYnotnostalgia #READnRESEARCH #RnR #DontBelieveTheHype #gotFACTs (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDj8aKgjUWK/?igshid=11yywsq24ycrt
