Author Donald Jeffries joined guest host Richard Syrett to talk about his book, American Memory Hole, which challenges established historical narratives and examines the origins of cancel culture. Jeffries highlighted the concept of "court historians" as individuals who guard and protect dominant historical narratives, often defending the status quo at the expense of alternative perspectives. He cited Professor Harry Elmer Barnes as an example of an early victim of historical gatekeeping for reassessing World War I and challenging the necessity of the war, which led to Barnes being ostracized by mainstream academic and media platforms. According to Jeffries, Barnes' experience reflects a broader issue where historians or public intellectuals who question prevailing narratives are marginalized, much like John Tolan, who faced similar consequences after questioning official accounts of Pearl Harbor. Jeffries asserted that cancel culture, often considered a modern phenomenon, has deep historical roots, particularly in the Roosevelt administration. He argued that President Franklin D. Roosevelt systematically suppressed his political adversaries, such as John T. Flynn, by ensuring they were denied media access and employment opportunities. This form of silencing critics was an early version of what we now see as cancel culture, where individuals are excluded from major platforms, he explained. Jeffries critiqued the legacy of figures like Senator Joe McCarthy and Richard Nixon, arguing that both have been unfairly vilified by the court historians. McCarthy, despite his aggressive and controversial methods, was genuinely concerned about communist infiltration, but his reputation was tarnished by biased narratives, particularly through media figures like Edward R. Murrow, Jeffries revealed. He also suggested that Nixon, though flawed, was the victim of a "silent coup" through the Watergate scandal, which overshadowed his significant achievements, such as opening diplomatic relations with China. This is an audio recording from the Coast to Coast A.M. radio program in which the host, Richard Syrett, interviews Donald Jeff, author of "American Memory Hole," a book which explores historical events and conspiracy theories through the lens of "disinformation" promoted by court historians. Jeff discusses numerous topics, including the 9/11 attacks, the JFK assassination, and the historical legacy of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The conversation highlights inconsistencies in official narratives and raises doubts about the reliability of historical accounts.
