The story of Hellen Keller Essay

"defending an intolerable system, a system that is the cause of much physical blindness and deafness" that she was trying to prevent.
Men, like nature, generally take the path of least resistance, so when conflicts arise we look for the easy path, and Helen Keller as a card carrying Socialist does not go down well with those accustomed to a bland Nationalistic diet. But, this is what Helen Keller wanted to be remembered for. I am not saying I agree with her, I am only saying it is the truth, and that it is hidden from our children by those who want to program our national conscience. History is contingent on what went before us and our children should know those contingencies. The Disneyland approach to American history should be left in fantasyland and not in the schoolhouse.
Hellen Keller has given us a great gift, even if she was a Socialist, which should constantly remind us of the wonder of the world around us and how much we owe to those who have taught us what it means, but she was a Socialist, who sang the praises of the new communist nation that sprang up after the Russian Revolution
"In the East a new star is risen! With pain and anguish the old order has given birth to the new, and behold in the East a man-child is born! Onward, comrades, all together! Onward to the campfires of Russia! Onward to the coming dawn!"
Is this the Hellen Keller we learned about in grade school? No! She has been sanitized for the young and the simple she has been cleansed of all negativity against the positive message of perseverance against all odds. You don't have to agree with Hellen Keller, but you do have to know the truth.
The story of Hellen Keller is just one example of the details that we have missed in our American education system. Is it important? Only if truth is important. Is it harmful? It's red pill versus blue pill for those who have seen The Matrix. Difficult reality or a beautiful fiction Which do you choose to live in? Most people shudder at the idea of living a lie, even if it is a pleasant one. Yes, the truth may sometimes hurt or confuse, but rarely do we learn something that we eventually wish we could unlearn. It is really those who control the matrix, the social scientist, who want us to remain in the dark. I don't want to promote conspiracy theories, but there does appear to be good reason to believe that social propaganda is not something that is just being used to twist the minds of our enemies. Any good social engineer or marketing guru knows about Hegelian Dialectics to manage and motivate people to achieve certain goals, and history is only one part of that formula.
I said that we would start with the founders, I was mistaken. We will investigate the founders on our next installment.
