History is full of lies. The past kings and leaders have been eulogised in history beyond their true worth concealing their true colour. If today’s history can be so brazenly tampered with in this enlightened era we can imagine the state of affairs in the past with very poor or no communication facilities.People with bogus honesty and integrity are being eulogised as great personalities completely masking their fraudulent activities. It is well-known that the present day politicians do not have the human quality of honesty and integrity. They may be great orators,quick witted persons,actors and what not. But honesty should be the main criteria for assessing great men and women. But honesty is completely buried deep while talking highly of these men and women. This shows that we repeat the same mistake committed by our forefathers of yore. Giving a pride of place in history for fraudulent personalities is dangerous.
Now journalism is misused by the dishonest media for survival. Let us not create pseudo history by portraying dishonest persons who have committed grave crimes against humanity as great men and women because they were able to become rulers or excel in some areas of social activity. Let us highlight the TRUTH about how the present day politicians and even the so called highly educated persons fool the common man by their fraudulent activities to garner power and position in the political arena or officialdom.

What nonsense is this history that buries truth deep? Let us not live in a fool’s paradise by making it appear that all is well while the fact remains that there is absolutely no morality not only in politics but also in all other social activities.

The media pours eulogies on persons of dubious integrity without any compunction thereby creating pseudo history as in the past. Creating pseudo history will not only lead to chaos in the present but in the future as well. The frequent escalation of strife between different groups and nations seen the world over is the result of creation of pseudo history by concealing the TRUTH.

All US presidents except Nixon were great Amnericans, France had a sun king and England a lionheart. Russia followed Alexander the Great with Ivan , Peter and Catherine the Great and Ivan the Terrible. Boris was Gudonov.

People have been discussing for decades the argument
that there is no such thing as "objective history."
The historian can establish that an act took place on
a certain day, but this, by historical standards
constitutes only chronology, or "factology". The moment
that the historian begins to look critically at -
motivation, circumstances, context, or any other such
considerations, the product becomes unacceptable for one
or another camp of readers.

"..we can imagine the state of affairs in the past with very poor or no communication facilities.."
The past keeps surprising us. Before printing presses there were systems for spreading news from official sources and political opposition. Placards were pinned to church doors, town criers announced news and local nobility were able to put contrary claims to their tenants . Pubs and horse-inns were centres for news. Russia today has state media alone for news and may be less informed than medieval Europe.

Dear Nick,

Russia has always had the "underground press".
They are probably more informed than we realise.

the current crop of historians seem to be the biggest revisionst of all time. Thankfully their is One who can't and never not lied. People hung Him on a cross.
