Nanking - a Revisionist Historian's nightmare

A tribute to Iris Chang (Mar 28, 1968 – Nov 9, 2004).

The Revisionist Historian is a quill breed of mercenary paid well to distort history in order to serve and propagate the ruling staple. His objective is simply to change the discourse by incubating his larvae in the soft minds of the young. The end result of his skewered treatise is apparent but his cowardice is disguised. Hardly seen, the imbecile is a consuming elite who instructs servile supplicants to test the fervor of peers and produces a slew of ‘revelations’ that are timed for effect. The shameless creature can be as bald as a firebrand Mullah who sponsors an elaborate convention to deny the Jewish Holocaust to a slick Professor of the Bucaille genre who gets his wood and those of his students up by burnishing lies about the Nanking ‘Incident’ deep into the Tabula Rasa.

Matching tenacity with industry, Iris Chang will have nothing of the sort under her watch. She expresses facts as they are and exposes the revisionist' for what they have become – Prostitutes. The proverbial pit-bull who has zero tolerance for the bovine of liars is best described as a Revisionist Historian’s nightmare and a wonderfully timed female of her generation.

She is remembered not because her memory serves to keep the larvae of the revisionist from incubating, but because it exposes the Imperial beast in the process. She is remembered not because her memory prods the descendants of the coward still commanding Japan, but because it serves up a warm blanket that hovers over his victims to offer them solace in their most private and painful moments.

Iris Chang was found dead this day in 2004. She is the last victim of Hirohito. She is the last victim of the 'forgotten' holocaust.

Afterword:- The clip that follows the slides depicts the late Ms. Chang at an interview with the New York State Writers Association just months before she passed. It is an interesting juxtaposition of her chirpy demeanor with the official line that "she shot herself."
