To intelligently understand current events, they must be seen within a broader historical context. Today, ideologue powerbrokers are attempting to distort, amend, and rewrite history, so the historical context agrees with their current propaganda.
George Orwell expressed it this way in his novel 1984:
“Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.”
Notes From The Past is an attempt to give you an array of historical contexts for you to better understand current events. To this end we are creating high quality videos about historical figures and events that will help you better understand the world today.

"I think it is very valuable to remember history and to bring it back to life living in our current times and that is what you do and your stories and videos are very good and do just that! If we could only learn from our history there are so many lessons there and we could be forewarned to what the globalists are planning for our futures now! Unfortunately the majority still sleep." - Sonya
