History is a weapon: Fiona Foley history teacher

Abstract

There is nothing sinister about using secret methods to help win freedom. Through the ages the ruling classes have made it as difficult as possible for oppressed people to gain freedom. The oppressors use the most cruel and sinister methods to stay in power. They use unjust laws to ban, banish, imprison and execute their opponents. They use secret police, soldiers, spies and informers against the people's movements. But the people know how to fight back and how to use secret methods of work.
