&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;"The primary aim of propaganda is, of course, to influence contemporary opinion, but those who rewrite history do probably believe with part of their minds that they are actually thrusting facts into the past. When one considers the elaborate forgeries that have been committed in order to show that Trotsky did not play a valuable part in the Russian civil war, it is difficult to feel that the people responsible are merely lying. More probably they feel that their own version was what happened in the sight of God, and that one is justified in rearranging the records accordingly."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://fabiusmaximus.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/34227/" target="_blank"&gt;Link.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9368505-2279683759728797005?l=chumpfish2.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MaximumAdvantageDiscussed/~4/5Q_f0ZcpJWg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://chumpfish2.blogspot.com/feeds/2279683759728797005/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9368505&amp;postID=2279683759728797005" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9368505/posts/default/2279683759728797005?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9368505/posts/default/2279683759728797005?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MaximumAdvantageDiscussed/~3/5Q_f0ZcpJWg/orwell-quote.html" title="Orwell Quote" /><author><name>SRL</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02874269522901511348</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="11" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_QmJeViixKF8/R6vv_zYV_jI/AAAAAAAAAfc/EM5uPnO0K18/S220/chumpfish3A.JPG" /></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://chumpfish2.blogspot.com/2012/01/orwell-quote.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;C0UBSHgyfCp7ImA9WhRUEUo.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9368505.post-5677535844631230957</id><published>2012-01-21T10:40:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-21T10:40:59.694-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2012-01-21T10:40:59.694-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Astronomy" /><title>Super Earths</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://www.salon.com/2012/01/21/rise_of_the_super_earths/singleton/" target="_blank"&gt;Super-Earths&lt;/a&gt;
