It’s called airbrushing history and all dictators do it to erase the truth. Sometimes it can be petty. One example is that Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon deleted photos that were on their website of the first black military pilots during WWII, the Navajo Code Talkers, the first woman to graduate from the Army ranger school and the first female Air Force fighter pilot. And even briefly cut out the B-29 that dropped the big one. As if they never happened. Why? On this show, Arnold “Skip” Isaacs reveals  the sinister echoes he sees today of Stalinist and Maoist erasure of the truth. Though thanks to what is left of a free press, libraries, and education, we Americans still have access to the facts and history. But to worry about what’s next is unfortunately quite reasonable.
