Guy Sajer's book THE FORGOTTEN SOLDIER is rather notorious in the historical

w*********g 发帖数: 30882 | 11 西方确实伪造了希腊历史
昨天本博转发了国外洋葱讽刺网的一篇文章,揭露西方统治势力曾经指使学者伪造希腊
历史,为希腊民主制度整容。
这里介绍一下一下何新对此问题的看法。老何说:
这篇文章揭露的根本不够。西方近代资本主义文明的根,本来就不是希腊的宗教文化而
是犹太的宗教和金钱崇拜文化。这方面可以看两个犹太学者韦伯(论证过新教的希伯来
渊源)与波普(曾经大骂希腊文明)的书。中国自由主义很膜拜这两个犹太自由主义学
者,但是看来对他们的书没有认真地读。
原生希腊人是黑头发黑眼睛的人种,与古埃及人(黄种人)接近。而与北欧那种黄头发
、蓝眼睛、满身长毛的哥特——日耳曼——盎格鲁撒克逊人根本不搭界。
事实上,古希腊人与古代罗马人都认为北欧、西欧那些白色人是没有进入文明的野蛮人
——蛮族。而就是这些希腊罗马人眼中的“蛮族”,在种族上才是现代西方多数欧美人
的祖宗。
老何说,希腊有很多城邦,多数不实行城邦“民主”制度。
雅典的城邦民主是保留氏族血缘社会时代氏族民主的残余——不是什么先进制度。中国
先夏时代——尧舜禹传说时代也是实施这种氏族民主——“选贤与能”。这方面可以看
《礼运》和《墨子》。

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid a discussion of trade in 1973, Chairman Mao Zedong
made what Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger called a novel proposition:
sending tens of thousands, even 10 million, Chinese women to the United
States.
"You know, China is a very poor country," Mao said, according to a document
released by the State Department's historian office. "We don't have much.
What we have in excess is women. So if you want... 阅读全帖 |

By Natalie Wolchover | LiveScience.com
Circa 1870, the North fought the South in the Civil War. Half a century
later, around 1920, worker unrest, racial tensions and anti-Communist
sentiment caused another nationwide upsurge of violence. Then, 50 years
later, the Vietnam War and Civil Rights Movement triggered a third peak in
violent political, social and racial conflict. Fifty years after that will
be 2020. If history continues to repeat... 阅读全帖 |

Sally Fairfax, presidents have contended with rumors of extramarital affairs
, but without proof, the shadow of a doubt has worked in their favor.

最早就没有36000-37000的死亡数字,死缠硬搅的离奇维只能找到最常见的33000多的数
字。
最初引起长期混乱的基本原因也是比较清楚的,下面的报道也有提及。最早公布的死亡
是先陈述了因敌对引起的死亡(died from hostile action)之类的数据,然后列出“
