Reading Time: 9 minutesThe Whitewashing of Tomorrow reveals how history, science, and truth are systematically erased under the guise of fairness and merit. Through the eyes of Cora, we witness a society where knowledge becomes a commodity, dissent is criminalized, and children are molded to worship a manufactured reality. As the Black Circle tightens its grip, the question lingers: can memory itself survive in a world built on lies?

Reign of Spectacle

Reading Time: 14 minutesChairman rules not through policy but through spectacle. His government is a never-ending reality show where cabinet meetings are broadcast live, foreign diplomacy is determined by ratings, and loyalty is the only currency that matters. As telescreens beam his face into every home, citizens watch in fearful fascination as he makes and breaks alliances on whim, rewards sycophants, and punishes dissenters with public humiliation. But beneath the carefully orchestrated chaos, a resistance is brewing.

Children of the Circle

Reading Time: 13 minutes The Circle had replaced education with indoctrination, molding children into obedient servants while their parents, exhausted and compliant, looked on. The older generation—the faithful voting bloc—had long since dismissed any concerns. Their own children had grown up in a different time, so why should they care? Schools, social programs, the greater good—it was all “socialist nonsense” unless it served the Black Circle. And now, the next generation didn’t even know they were enslaved.

Controlling the Truth

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe Ministry of Truth was born in plain sight. It started with a simple announcement—the Chairman’s administration would handpick which media outlets could participate in the presidential press pool. They called it “restoring power to the American people,” but in reality, it was a purge. Critics were silenced, dissenting voices erased. What remained was a hollowed-out press corps, filled with loyalists repeating scripted lines. The illusion of journalism persisted, but the truth had been excised.

Sleepwalking

Reading Time: 9 minutesPeople weren’t afraid. They were asleep. The Chairman’s rule wasn’t about brute force; it was about exhaustion, apathy, and distraction. Every day, a new outrage. Every week, a new enemy. And people adjusted. They stopped expecting things to make sense. By the time they realized what had happened, it was too late—easier to just go back to sleep.
