History is necessarily selective, but the facts are stubborn things.
So in some respects, I am not really talking about "history" in general, I am talking about "specific facts" that are a part of our history.
So the link I have provided is about "specific facts" that are commonly ignored.
I don't understand people who come to this board and say things like "well, geez, there's nothing new there" !
For example, who knew that John Lennon's Doorman was linked to the Watergate burglars? The sinister implications of that fact are absolutely mind blowing.
Moreover, who knew that this Doorman was falsely declared dead, 6 years before John Lennon was murdered?
If you all knew that, then you are indeed, far too informed for me.
Nothing came to light in the Chapman trial there was none.
The guy pleaded guilty, as many do, despite the evidence.
There are many, many false confessions, if we relied on criminals to prove a crime, all the jail cells would be empty.
