George Orwell's 1984, "He Who Controls the Past Controls the Future."?

We learn from the past. We learn what works, what doesn't work. We learn what mistakes to avoid and what triumphs to celebrate. Thus the past is always regulating the future. For this reason, controlling the past means that a person can control the future. Actually the "new age" makes it easier to control the past not harder. The chaos of information is a type of control and one thats harder to get a handle on. It serves to direct the future by not allowing people to get a set hold on the past. No one person may control the past but it's still being controlled.

Yep. If you control the past, you control what people believe, and that's the starting point for total domination of their lives and thoughts.

You should check out the books written by Johnny Twofeathers, what an eye opener. Sorry can't remember the name of the book just the author
