The Barbarians Are Inside the Palace

Darrell Castle talks about the effort to cleanse our national history which is common for conquered people but unusual for those who remain somewhat free. Transcription / Notes THE BARBARIANS ARE INSIDE THE PALACE          Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday July 10, 2020 and on this Report I will be talking about the movement to cleanse history by removing any trace of it from our conscious thought and the result that action is sure to bring. The Castle family is doing fine right now although the family daughter is still stuck and perhaps a little lonely so many thousands of miles away from anything, she is used to. We spend some time reminiscing about days long ago when our memories tell us we were a little happier, but we know that memories sometimes deceive. What I am about to discuss in this Castle Report are not things you may have seen listed as the cause of the recent riots, looting, etc. and the failure of authorities charged with doing somrthing to stop it. Those things are just symptoms of the real problem which is the crumbling and collapse of the American civilization. We seem content now as a people to erase our history so there will soon be no memory of where we come from and who we are. This erasure of history is common for conquered people but unusual for those who remain somewhat free. The education system has, for decades, been busy propagandizing the young that cleansing should be done. The constant favorable response to each new incident by the mass media makes it seem normal for many. George Orwell had it figured out though, more than 70 years ago. “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day, minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” It’s a little reminiscent of the burning of the library at Alexandria, Egypt by Julius Caesar in 48 B.C. That library supposedly contained the only collection of the world’s knowledge to that date. What survived was recopied by mostly Irish Monks laboring in monasteries to reproduce the books by hand. People want to be virtuous and good by cleansing the world of what they consider to be bad but the do gooders who strive to save the world are usually trying to concoct a way to control it. People are waking up and growing tired of what is happening to them though, and that is at least a glimmer of hope. The players in this drama are being sorted out right now in front of the eyes of the world. This is the fourth turning in which people grow suspicious of government and turn to open defiance or just ignoring it. Nations have life cycles which rise and fall over the centuries. Lord Byron told us about that long ago in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was an English romantic poet born in 1788 and died in 1824 so he lived 36 years. In that time, he traveled around Europe and spent 7 years in Italy. He fought in the Greek war of independence against the Ottoman Empire. During his travels he wrote his poetry but also wrote his theories on the life and death of nations. Lord Byron said that nations have life cycles like people. First, they find freedom, then glory, then wealth, then vice, then corruption, then barbarism. I add my own theories to Lord Byron’s by speculating that nations build monuments and honor their heroes during the glory years. During vice and corruption, they are too into themselves to care much about anything, but when they start to tear down the monuments they are headed toward the final barbarism. Along with the destruction and cleansing of history comes the vice and corruption, the lying hypocrisy of the people aided and abetted by the example of government. For  example, last weekend, 4th of July weekend, New York City under the leadership of Democrat mayor Bi...
