Most alarmingly, Turness and two ITV colleagues won an Amnesty International UK Media Award in 2008 […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2013/david-solway/reflections-on-my-ex-muslim-friends/ Some of my best friends are Muslims. Or rather, some of my best friends were Muslims—not that they are no longer Muslims but that they are no longer my friends. The problem I had over years of friendship had to do with certain personal attributes which I value highly, namely, consistency and the ability […]
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/349513/obamas-words-and-his-actions Experts in Washington, D.C., have been shocked lately by the grand canyon that has ripped through the heart of the nation’s capital.

Getting an early start on primary season, Rand Paul stopped by New Hampshire and offered some sage advice for winning elections. According to the article, “Senator Paul Rand urged New Hampshire Republicans to become more diversified.”
New Hampshire is 94.6% white, 2.9% Latino and 1.3% Black. I don’t know the exact diversity
statistics for New Hampshire Republicans, but if they get a half-black and half-Latino guy in a wheelchair to run for something, they will probably have covered all the statistical bases.
“We need to grow bigger,” Rand Paul said. “If you want to be the party of white people, we’re winning all the white votes. We’re a diverse nation. We’re going to win when we look like America.”
Looking like America is common advice these days. What does America look like? For now it still looks more like New Hampshire than like California. And despite that, Democrats scored some big wins in New Hampshire in the last election.
Obama won New Hampshire 52 to 46 and it probably wasn’t the black vote that put him over the top. He picked up over 100,000 votes in Hillsborough County, which is 90 percent white. Clearly, despite Rand Paul’s optimism, Republicans aren’t winning all the white votes in New Hampshire. Or in Kentucky.

One underlying common theme in the various versions of the three presidents’ foreign policy doctrines is that Terrorism is un-Islamic.
President Clinton. Address to the Nation, August 20, 1998:
Islam [is] the faith of hundreds of millions of good, peace-loving people all around the world, including the United States. No religion condones the murder of innocent men, women and children. But our actions were aimed at fanatics and killers who wrap murder in the cloak of righteousness; and in so doing, profane the great religion in whose name they claim to act.
President Bush. Address before the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C. September 17, 2001:
The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war. When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. And that’s made brothers and sisters out of every race — out of every race.
President Obama. Responding to a question after his address at Mumbai’s St. Xavier’s college. November 7, 2010.
” … Islam is one of the world’s great religions. More than a billion people practice Islam and an overwhelming majority view their obligations to a religion that reaffirms peace, fairness, tolerance. I think all of us recognize that this great religion in the hands of a few extremists has been distorted by violence,”

Over the years I have read various collectivist utopian novels, particularly those that envisioned ideal communist or socialist societies, and dismissed […]

Were the Reagan years just a temporary feel good blip since what the late Jeane Kirkpatrick called “the blame America first crowd” still dominates our academies, the media and the corridors of power? They have closed the chapter on the revelations of Communist crimes and have moved on to airbrushing the dangers and depredations of radical Islam. Is the “cold war” really over or have the protagonists just changed their locus and their focus?
Diana West’s new book “American Betrayal- The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character” makes the startling assertions that we did not win the Cold War or World War II. How can one consider a war won, if a preventable genocide occurred which wiped out one third of the world’s Jewry; when the craven surrender in Yalta left millions upon millions of Eastern Europeans to the “mercies” of Stalin and the KGB; when we abandoned the Philippines and benefited genocidal Communism in China; when spies and provocateurs and propagandists for the Soviet Union continued their penetration of all our institutions including the State Department, making our policies subservient to the demands of tyrants; when the victorious allies in 1945 callously repatriated millions of Russian refugees- from generals and intellectuals to ordinary anti Marxists- men, women and children -to Russia? Even the New York Times noted their frenzied terror and how many chose suicide rather than a return to Russia in this shameful episode.
One may well ask how this could have happened and how could we not have known about it. Diana West’s revelations left me breathless.. In this illuminating and painstakingly researched and documented book, Diana West connects the dots to the early 1930s when the Russians and their subversive American minions moved career communists and spies into main government departments including the State Department. Their lackeys in the media and among legislators enabled them by belittling and discrediting all critics .
These entrenched and influential agents helped craft policy and military strategy in world War 11 which benefited the Russians. In West’s words history, as taught today….’ completely camouflages the hammer and sickle that was growing like a catastrophic cancer in the shadow of the swastika. This was the dark vision we were denied by our Communist-occupied government.”
In fact, as West demonstrates, spying for Russia and disseminating disinformation continued apace well after the Nazi surrender in 1945 and the Japanese surrender in September of the same year.
Well entrenched Communist sympathizers sabotaged the case for General Chiang Kai -Sheck, to burnish Mao’s credentials. Owen Lattimore” a conscious, articulate instrument of the Soviet conspiracy” was installed as an adviser to spy on General General Chiang while promoting the “agrarian” reforms of Mao Tse Tung which killed millions-estimates vary between 20,000,000 and 40,000,000.
And that was just the tip of the iceberg.
All of this was hidden from us. Due to the machinations and influence of this perfectly placed occupying army of agents (and their fellow travelers and useful fools), the US government increasingly became complicit in hiding and then participating in the Kremlin’s Big Lies/crimes. Hence, our “betrayal.”
As West trenchantly observes more Americans “know” the false story that J.Edgar Hoover wore a red dress…than know anything about traitors Lauchlin Curry, Dexter White, and the epic treason against this country. I would add that more Americans today vilify Senator Joseph McCarthy (whose vilification, West argues, became central to the false narrative we take as historical gospel) and others who sought to expose the Soviet Union but give a pass to Alger Hiss and those who willfully endangered and betrayed America.
As this book demonstrates, our relationship with Russia was always predicated on the “big lie” that obfuscated Soviet ideology, intent and mass murder. Now, West writes, the “big lie” is wrapped around Islam…its dogma, its Koranic imperative, its agenda and its methods are swept under the rug of political correctness — another manifestation of Marxist penetration — while its agents infiltrate our government, our media, our academies and our financial institutions.
Read this book to see how history repeats and how America is again being betrayed.
