“Every document has been destroyed or falsified, each e-book rewritten, each image has been repainted, each statue and avenue constructing has been renamed, each date has been altered. And the method is continuous daily and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists besides an infinite current during which the Party is at all times proper.” – George Orwell 1984
Orwell’s 1984 is increasingly sounding like a handbook for Western ‘progressive’ society within the UK. As a small instance of this, take the re-opening final week of the £27 million refurbished museum in Perth, Scotland.
A pal of mine went alongside and was considerably shocked to seek out the next.
The return of paganism
In Scotland, the land of the Enlightenment and the Reformation, the land of studying and science, the federal government at the moment are sponsoring an exhibition which informs us as proven fact that, “The River Tay has at all times been Perth’s major artery, shaping the land, offering meals sources, and performing as a portal to the supernatural world” (beneath the heading ‘Sacred Waters’).
I lived beside the Tay for a few years and had no concept that it may take me by the wardrobe into Narnia, or by the Looking Glass, or that it was a portal to a different dimension! And not one of the good folks of Tayside ever thought that both. But the pagans who’re re-writing Scottish historical past and tradition do not care. Is it any marvel that so many Scottish youngsters are scientifically illiterate if that is the nonsense that the federal government and native councils are instructing.
The exhibit goes on to speak about daggers and axes ‘thought’ for use as choices. When my pal requested concerning the Māori costume, they had been instructed that among the workers had acquired up at 5 within the morning to bless it, earlier than the museum opened.
The demonisation of Christianity
There is one point out of John Knox preaching a sermon which was adopted by a riot – however the plaque goes on to say, “Knox grew to become an icon and objects related to him grew to become virtually relic like.” As an instance of historic and theological illiteracy that’s onerous to beat. Knox’s sermon was in opposition to idols and icons. The Scottish Reformation was against idols and icons. There isn’t any proof in any respect that Knox was ever thought of an icon.
Of course, the aim of that is to rewrite historical past and to suggest that Scotland’s Reformation was actually only a takeover by a cult – which fortunately now we have now removed. Once the Calvinists are gone, we will do away with the Catholics too – and return to the purity of our pagan previous – the place we fortunately portalled into different worlds …
My pal determined to investigate why there was so little about Christianity within the museum – in spite of everything, Perth, Dundee and St Andrews had been the guts of the Scottish Reformation. The response was revealing: “That was up to now – that is now. You’ve had 2,000 years to showcase Christianity.”
Apart from the truth that a museum is meant to showcase the previous, and the historic ignorance of the workers member, what’s much more stunning is the triumphalist perspective: we have taken over now! We will decolonise the previous.
The National, the home newspaper of the Scottish National Party, went as far as to boast about this re-writing of historical past. “Perth Museum breaks quite a lot of new floor; it expands on the rewriting of so many wrongs a lot in want of rewriting and fairly brilliantly reveals off our much-cherished stone.”
Of course, when Christianity goes you must exchange it with one other faith. As effectively because the return to paganism and the Green faith, the third a part of this new unholy trinity is the LGBTQI+ ideology. There is a complete ground given over to this. As the museum web site explains, “Across 4 themed galleries, uncover the unicorn’s enduring presence all through historical past and its position as an emblem of Scotland’s altering heritage and identification, by iconic loans from world wide, interactive shows, and 7 newly-commissioned artworks exploring the unicorn as a contemporary image of the LGBTQI+ neighborhood.” They conveniently overlook that the unicorn was chosen as Scotland’s nationwide animal at the least partly due to its perceived ‘masculinity’. But that is poisonous now, so let’s rewrite it to be a sexual image.
The colonisation of a museum by progressive imperialists who’re decided to remake all the things in their very own picture and rewrite historical past in order that it suits their fantasies and present political and social ideologies will not be confined to Perth Museum. This is occurring throughout Britain, funded by the governments (I ponder if the UK authorities is aware of that over £10 million of its cash is getting used to advertise this sort of ideology).
Another instance is dropped at us by Pink News, who inform us that the Hastings Museum and Art gallery has an exhibition which reveals {that a} pair of stuffed pheasants demonstrates ‘queer’ transgender behaviour in animals!
The Perth Museum has been rebuilt with the intention to home the well-known Stone of Destiny – the stone on which Scotland’s kings had been topped and which was not too long ago returned from Westminster Abbey in 1996. But the museum is extra about pushing a present progressive agenda than it’s about giving an correct account of Scotland’s historical past.
As the events of college pupils are proven spherical and taught the pagan, progressive, sexual ideology of at the moment’s cultural imperialists it could seem inevitable that this nightmare can be Scotland’s future. Yet maybe there’s a signal within the Scottish Highlands which factors to one thing completely different?
In 1827, within the small neighborhood of Glenmoriston, a preacher known as Finlay Munro was preaching the phrase of God. He was receiving an excessive amount of abuse (he must be grateful – in at the moment’s Scotland he can be reported for hate speech!). Munro responded to this abuse by declaring that the very clay during which he stood would testify to the reality of his phrases and that his footprints would final till his hearers met their judgement, or in keeping with some witnesses till the Day of Judgement. Almost 200 years later you’ll be able to nonetheless go to Glenmoriston and see these footsteps.
Whether or not you consider that story, what is definite is that the Church in Scotland has been by far worse occasions and survived. That is why the image of the Church is the burning bush – ‘burning but not consumed’. The politicians and ideologies of this world will fade away, however Christ is the One who is similar yesterday, at the moment and eternally. Long after the plaques on Perth Museum are gone and forgotten, the Word of God will proceed. As Jesus promised, “Heaven and earth will cross away, however my phrases won’t ever cross away” (Matthew 24:35).
