Stand with us, we fight this evil that is no longer a specter haunting us from the recesses, but is instead, a full blown demonic entity attacking in a full frontal assault. Now is not the time to be afraid or fearful of repercussions, because we are living with the repercussions of the past generations that refused to fight:
Baby Boomers, now living with false memories of the bucolic fifties when women and blacks knew their places and nobody else existed,
or
Generation X, Y and Z millennials whose only contribution was their birth,
or
Hipsters who wear fashionable working man's clothing in an ironically asinine attempt at social/economic class irony.
Those generations are over. Now there will only be one:
DECODEration Generation.

Lincoln never posed for this famous portrait of him. It was created (possibly after his death) by taking a photograph of Lincoln and putting it on a portrait of John Calhoun.
Taken within seconds of the preceding photo, this frame reveals that Lenin was joined that day by fellow Central Committee members Leon Trotsky, who stands in hat and mustache on the stairs to the right of the podium, and Lev Kamenev, who stands behind him. Perceived by Stalin as rivals to his power, both men were ultimately purged and their contributions to the revolution largely eliminated from the historical record. |
This photo was taken during the Battle of Berlin on 2 May 1945 and was one of the most widely reprinted images of the war. When originally published in the Russian magazine Ogonyok, the image was altered to remove what appears to be a second watch from the right wrist of on of the Russian soldiers. The editor was concerned that the appearance of two watches might suggest that the soldier had looted one of them. The smoke in the background was also darkened.
