Being a student of real history, I have studied a lot of the major
conflicts that have taken place around the world for the last few
centuries... And one of my favourite studies happened to be the American
Civil War....
I have always been amazed at the causes and the battles of the American
Civil War, that occurred between April 12th 1861 when the Confederate
forces bombarded and forced the surrender of a Union garrison at Fort
Sumter in Charleston harbor in South Carolina, all the way through to
the surrender of General Robert E Lee to General Ulysses S Grant at
Appomattox Court House, Virginia, on April 9th, 1865.... That 4 years of
bloodshed cost the lives of some 700000 people via both battle wounds
and diseases..... It was indeed a war to force the Confederate states
back into the Union fold and the repercussions of that war was felt
across America for decades....
One famous speech that was supposedly written and presented by US
President Abraham Lincoln was of course the famous Gettysburg Address,
which he presented at the commemoration of the new Gettysburg
battlefield cemetery on November 19th, 1863... The speech itself
presented by Abraham Lincoln was actually quite short and at the time
paled in comparison to the speech presented by Edward Everett who stood
at the podium for nearly 2 hours just before Lincoln spoke his famous
address and spewed some 13,600 words in an oration that most probably
put most people to sleep... But Lincoln's own 271 word short speech is
what people truly remember... Until now when some of the sick bastards
in control have finally done the unfathomable and actually changed the
wording of that speech!
Those without "foreskins" are responsible for this.

ReplyDeleteThis is BS it's always been "fathers" never "forefathers." ] have a record of Civil War music from 1958 that included the speech that I listened to thousands of times growing up...It was "fathers." The so-called Mandela Effect is retarded.
ReplyDeleteDuh, all of "history" has been "hacked"! History is weaponized .. that is why Albert Pike's statue remains, while Robert E. Lee is hauled down and removed from our consciousness.
ReplyDeleteThe five copies that I read all said Fathers and not Forefathers.

I published this post without looking into it further.
A favorite "proof" of the Mandela Effect is the Bearenstain Bears controversy. People swear it used to be Bearenstein. More horseshit, it was always Bearenstain. Back in the 90s we had the entire collection of Bearenstain Bear books that I read to my two millennial kids countless times. People were always mispronouncing Bearenstain as Bearenstein and I would have to correct them and when I showed them an actual book they would be quite surprised.
ReplyDeleteWe can't directly observe reality we can only observe the images our minds create and I theorize that people were actually seeing Bearenstein because stein was very common as opposed to stain. Occam's Razor would eliminate all the theories about intersecting parallel universes or whatever. People are simply remembering past flawed perceptions.
Berenstain not Bearenstain
ReplyDeleteI memorized the address in 6th grade (1970s) and still know it fairly well. It was "fathers" not "forefathers".
ReplyDeleteIt was kinda the point of the introduction - saying that the nation was only about one generation old. "Four score and seven years ago" - 87 years ago - when persons who could have been Lincoln's father (Lincoln was born in 1809) created the USA. Retarded people who don;t understand the whole point of the introduction think he said "forefathers".
Here are some original drafts etc, it says fathers.

I am amazed how sometimes what I thought I knew was wrong, Maybe in the past I thought the correct version and my memory changed? I heard on some show that: everytime we bring up a memory our mind adjusts it, maybe/maybe not?
What's the origin of the phrase 'Not tonight Josephine'? There's no evidence whatsoever that Napoleon ever uttered these words
Whoops that's one I thought I knew?
