“The most revolutionary act is to remember what they want you to forget.”
— Akashma News, 2025

History is not just what happened. It’s what survives.
And in a world engineered for forgetting—of crimes, of war, of complicity—resistance begins with remembering.

This exposé is not just a series of investigations. It is an archive. A repository of the betrayed, the unbought, the assassinated, and the whistleblown. A defiant act of record-keeping against empires that thrive on amnesia.

I. Empire’s Greatest Weapon: Erasure

Libraries burned in Iraq, archives bombed, and museums looted.

Emails deleted, war logs classified, and FOIA requests denied.

Journalists silenced, platforms deplatformed, history textbooks rewritten.


Empires don’t just bomb cities. They bomb memory.

And when they can’t erase you, they bury you under entertainment, fear, and the distraction of the next outrage.

II. The People’s Memory: Analog and Digital Resurrection

From the archives of:

WikiLeaks, The Intercept, Akashma News, Cryptome, and Truthout,

To the voices of Snowden, O’Keefe, Assange, Manning, Hale, and Hastings,

To documents salvaged from hard drives, leaked by patriots, and preserved by the persistent,


the historical record lives outside the institutions meant to protect it.

Every censored article. Every pixelated war video. Every leaked memo.
All of it must be remembered—not to relive trauma, but to deny empire its victory lap.

III. Decolonizing Memory: Whose History Survives?

Palestinians record their own massacres in whispers and phone footage.

Black radicals are erased from civil rights textbooks while lobbyists praise “reform.”

Antiwar soldiers, from Vietnam to Fallujah, are airbrushed out of the national narrative.


Historical memory is a battleground.

To win it, we must:

Name the names that were buried.

Preserve the files they tried to erase.

Teach the children what the state will not.

IV. The Archive as Act of War

“The great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us.”

We carry these names.
These stories.
These truths.

We build the people’s archive because the state has abandoned truth in favor of power.

V. Conclusion: From Memory to Movement

To remember is to resist.

To preserve is to prepare.

To build an archive of betrayal is to build a roadmap out of empire.

The war doesn’t end when the troops leave.
It ends when the lies no longer work.

And that day begins with a record like this.
