00:00:30.000 Joe Biden, or whatever communications flunky who operates his social media accounts,
00:00:35.080 took to Twitter this week to inform the nation that
00:00:38.100 Muslim culture has been woven throughout American culture from the very start.
00:00:43.940 Now this is an obvious and absurd lie,
00:00:46.580 but Biden is not the first president to make such a claim.
00:00:50.660 Barack Obama and several other Democratic politicians
00:00:53.820 have asserted that Islam has been present in America since its founding,
00:00:58.520 and is a natural part of our nation.
00:01:01.380 What possible purpose could the telling of such a blatant lie serve?
00:01:06.620 What does the left gain by pushing a historical narrative that is so provably false?
00:01:12.160 The answer is simple.
00:01:13.680 The left understands that history is the foundation of identity,
00:01:17.420 and they seek to demolish American identity and remake it in their own image.
00:01:21.920 The most basic investigation into the American founding reveals that Islam was not just completely
00:01:29.060 absent from the formation of the United States, but was the young nation's direct adversary.
00:01:35.140 The first military action that the U.S. took after winning its independence was the defense of
00:01:41.680 American sailors against the Barbary pirates.
00:01:44.420 These Muslim raiders were enslaving and ransoming Americans in accordance with their religion, 1.00
00:01:50.680 and the nation spent a large percentage of its budget paying those pirates off
00:01:54.820 before finally sending its newly formed navy to put an end to the raiding.
00:01:59.600 This is why the Marine Hymn contains the line
00:02:02.440 from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.
00:02:06.300 Claiming that Muslim culture was part of America from the beginning isn't just a lie. 0.99
00:02:10.800 It's a direct and deliberate inversion of the historical facts.
00:02:16.040 The general lack of knowledge about this period of American history is unsurprising,
00:02:20.780 as it's omitted from most school curriculums.
00:02:24.140 The conflict was significant and shaped America's approach to both foreign policy and a standing
00:02:30.120 army, but very few teachers bothered to cover it.
00:02:33.540 This is, in no small part, due to our progressive education system's attempt to cast slavery as
00:02:39.680 a uniquely American institution.
00:02:42.940 While Muslim civilizations were some of history's most prolific slavers, this fact is barely mentioned
00:02:48.640 as history texts fall all over themselves to praise Islam as a religion of tolerance and peace.
00:02:55.300 This relentless focus on American slavery and careful avoidance of its practice in other
00:03:00.760 cultures is intentional.
00:03:02.220 The progressive effort to manufacture this narrative has been largely successful.
00:03:08.400 As a former high school teacher, I can tell you that many young people believe that slavery
00:03:12.540 was an American invention, and this notion is particularly popular among minority students.
00:03:18.860 The most impressive thing about the left's revisionist history is how often it's at odds with its own
00:03:25.400 foundational claims.
00:03:26.720 America is uniquely evil because it was founded by straight white men who were basically genocidal 1.00
00:03:33.500 religious Puritans, but America has also been a multiracial melting pot that wove foreign 0.97
00:03:39.960 religions into its culture from the very beginning.
00:03:43.820 The progressive believes, simultaneously, that this nation was founded by an oppressive, racist
00:03:48.960 patriarchy and that inclusion and diversity defined America from the very outset.
00:03:54.160 Apparently, America was ruled by tiny proto-Hitlers who were just really bad at their jobs and the 0.79
00:04:01.060 forces of diversity, equity, and inclusion managed to allow the country to flourish in spite of its
00:04:06.800 inept evil overlords.
00:04:09.100 The narrative is convoluted and contradictory, but that hardly seems to matter.
00:04:14.380 Strict adherence to this narrative is key to obtaining degrees and maintaining employment
00:04:19.980 in any major corporation.
00:04:22.640 The facts don't matter.
00:04:24.340 History is simply one more ideological litmus test for the institutions that underpin our current regime.
00:04:31.900 Sure, maybe Muslims didn't found America, but is that fact really worth losing your job over?
00:04:38.180 Probably best to nod politely and move on.
00:04:40.500 What's better than a well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue?

00:05:07.520 The left's historical revisionism has successfully created a population that is completely unmoored
00:05:17.380 from the reality of their past and therefore has no way to legitimately evaluate assertions
00:05:23.280 about its current identity.
00:05:25.720 Is America a nation founded on democratic principles?
00:05:29.800 Are we a nation of immigrants?
00:05:31.640 Was the Civil War just about slavery?
00:05:33.680 Did the founders truly want religious values separated from political and legal decisions?
00:05:39.960 Was Islam always part of American culture?
00:05:43.500 All of these modern narratives are taken at face value as history is reshaped by progressive
00:05:49.460 newspeak operations like the 1619 Project and these assertions are not chosen by the left
00:05:55.760 at random.
00:05:57.140 Each one is pregnant with political meaning and shapes the thought process of the modern voter.
00:06:02.660 Human identity is not formed by the individual but is instead shaped by the historical narrative
00:06:09.640 and social context in which they are born and must live their lives.
00:06:15.360 To control the historical narrative is to control the identity of the nation and that identity
00:06:21.200 is what shapes the nation's vision of the future.
00:06:24.340 As Orwell famously wrote,
00:06:27.540 Who controls the past controls the future.
00:06:30.500 Who controls the present controls the past.
00:06:33.880 If you can warp a nation's understanding of their past, you own the entire frame in which
00:06:39.820 discussions about their present and future take place.
00:06:43.900 When popular sovereignty is the mechanism by which your ruling class is legitimated, control
00:06:50.180 over identity is key.
00:06:52.100 We are told that people vote their wallets or key single issues, but these are only proxies
00:06:58.640 for identity.
00:07:00.640 This is why the left invests so heavily into the social engineering required to manufacture
00:07:06.580 identities that are dependent on progressive politics.
00:07:10.820 Whether they're lying about the Muslim origins of the United States or telling six-year-old boys
00:07:16.560 that they can become girls, the motivation is the same.
00:07:20.940 Progressives use their control over consensus manufacturing institutions to socially engineer
00:07:26.840 and advance identities that are dependent on the left's political apparatus.
00:07:31.800 There's no need to persuade a voting bloc that sees the Democratic Party as its only defense
00:07:37.520 against forces which threaten their right to exist.
00:07:40.260 If the very existence of the identity is contingent on progressives holding power, then its adherents
00:07:47.620 will be committed supporters of that political movement no matter what.
00:07:52.160 That kind of loyalty is far more valuable than some vague commitment to historical accuracy,
00:07:58.600 and the Democrats will secure it at any cost.
00:08:02.800 When an individual is stripped of their historical, familial, religious, and even biological context,
00:08:09.500 they can be manipulated into holding any belief.
00:08:12.760 The leftist project seeks to strip Americans of their connection to the past as well as the
00:08:18.040 organic communities and institutions to which they would naturally belong in the hopes of
00:08:23.480 manufacturing an identity which is wholly dependent on the progressive political apparatus.
00:08:29.260 It doesn't matter how conflicted or contradictory the narratives become as long as they continually
00:08:35.540 bind voters into a coalition which elevates Democratic Party apparatchiks as our permanent ruling class.
00:08:43.620 Institutional hegemony is used to reshape the voting public in the image of progressive social
00:08:49.300 engineers, securing support not just for one election cycle, but for generations to come.
00:08:55.640 If the right is to combat these tactics, it must understand the need to make long-term
00:09:00.740 investments in alternative institutions that can reconnect Americans to their real history,
00:09:06.860 family, and faith.
00:09:08.720 It's only by rejecting the progressive narrative and reconnecting to their true heritage that
00:09:14.860 Americans will be able to once again chart a future, not just for themselves,
00:09:19.300 but for their posterity.
