Thank you, Peter. Your are correct we should not forget our history. This is not the first time we have been threatened with authoritarianism. The last time ended in a Civil War. This time the main difference is we - the lovers of democracy - held the government in our hands, this time they do, but we must fight just as hard as our ancestors did to retain freedom for all. Cheers to you, Peter, for this reminder.
Your 'looks back' are always interesting and often illuminating. The phrase about history not repeating but rhyming certainly is revealed in many of your posts.
I'm a fairly new subscriber to The Forgotten Files, Peter. I'm so pleased I found your site. Beautiful picture of Mt Hood,as I live at the base of this majestic mountain, here,in Sandy. Here's hoping you and your readers have a Peaceful, Progressive and Healthy,New Year, and Thank You 🙏💯👍
Lovely image and affirmation. Cheers to you and the Forgotten Files, Peter. I'll have another!
Thanks and best to you both in the new year

Wow. Sandy! There’s a Room with A View. Lucky you and welcome The Forgotten Files
Nice pic. I always think that comparing cities thru photos is rigged toward the folks who live near mountains.
Agreed. But that’s the view from our porch
Could be worse...
There's a trail heading south from the base of the mountain that is close to literally enchanting...

Write on, Peter. A lot to look back on and a lens to see us through 2025.
I can't imagine what's next.
Great shot of Mt. Hood! Peter, may you and your family have a great New Year! And damn the nattering nabobs of negativity and odiferous oligarchy!
Same to you, good man. Too bad our only Greek VP was such a crook
You in PDX area?
Happy new year Peter! Thank you for the forgotten files and for the beautiful picture of Mt Hood! I miss seeing that view.
I never get tired of that view
