NATURAL BORN CITIZEN AND REVISIONIST HISTORY "Like it never happened"

(Apr. 7, 2019) — In George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, the protagonist, Winston Smith, is employed at the Ministry of Truth in the Minitrue Records Department.  His job is to "rectify" historical records to bring them into line with the contemporary polices and narratives of Big Brother and The Party.  The primary mechanism to effectuate the "rectification" process is The Memory Hole, where inconvenient, albeit true, historical documents and writings which may be inconsistent with or at variance with The Party's narrative are… destroyed.  Erased from existence, leaving no historical trace of fingerprints, footprints or memorialized evidence.  Think: "It never happened."
