Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered.

Pentagon pauses plan to offer Covid vaccine to Guantánamo Bay prisoners
A decision reeking of racism, xenophobia and islamophobia
The Pentagon announced Saturday they would pause their plan to offer coronavirus vaccinations to detainees at Guantánamo Bay, reversing course just days after they said that the vaccine would be administered to those that wanted it.
"No Guantanamo detainees have been vaccinated. We're pausing the plan to move forward, as we review force protection protocols. We remain committed to our obligations to keep our troops safe", said John Kirby, a spokesperson for the Pentagon, in a tweet.
Kirby's statement came just over an hour after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., tweeted that President Joe Biden "told us he would have a plan to defeat the virus on day 1. He just never told us that it would be to give the vaccine to terrorists before most Americans".
