Don't Call Me A Conspiracy Theorist
"If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say this or that even, it never
happened—that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death. And if all others
accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie
passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls
the future who controls the present controls the past.'"
George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 3
!We control life, Winston, at all its levels. ou are imagining that there is something
called human nature which will be outraged by what we do and will turn against us. #ut we
create human nature. $en are infinitely malleable...%

In -/0, while e)cavating ruins of a 12223year3old village near
#aghdad, wor4ers discovered mysterious small vase. A 03inch3
high pot of bright yellow clay dating bac4 two millennia
contained a cylinder of sheet3copper 5 inches by -.5 inches.
&he edge of the copper cylinder was soldered with a 02362
lead3tin alloy comparable to today's solder. &he bottom of the
cylinder was capped with a crimped3in copper dis4 and sealed
with bitumen or asphalt. Another insulating layer of asphalt
sealed the top and also held in place an iron rod suspended
into the center of the copper cylinder. &he rod showed evidence
of having been corroded with an acidic agent
