Overview

Yes, we Americans are taught our entire lives that we are the freest Nation on earth and the rest of the world only envies us...Bullshit? According to the World Governance Indicator (2017) some 40 nations enjoy a higher level of democratic freedom. Contrary to having the most trustworthy news in the world, we were ranked No. 46. It is our duty to check this statement. We, 21st century Americans, pride ourselves in having short rather than long-term memory spans. 9/11 is a powerful memory for Americans seemingly only for adults old enough to remember. Furthermore, what we, Americans, choose to remember is highly selective and thus is becoming dangerously problematic in a dramatically changing society and world. Short memory, however, is the culprit for history to repeat itself. Kudos to all those courageous artists and journalists who stand up for truth and honesty to educate and to better our society. Eike thought history would not repeat itself. Certainly not in America!
