Errors, Omissions, Inventions And Falsehoods

A reader writes that he received the email message below sent by Professor Kenneth Stein of Emory University and the Carter Center.

From the email by Porfessor Stein, "President Carter's book on the Middle East, a title too inflammatory to even print, is not based on unvarnished analyses; it is replete with factual errors, copied materials not cited, superficialities, glaring omissions, and simply invented segments. Aside from the one-sided nature of the book, meant to provoke, there are recollections cited from meetings where I was the third person in the room, and my notes of those meetings show little similarity to points claimed in the book. Being a former President does not give one a unique privilege to invent information or to unpack it with cuts, deftly slanted to provide a particular outlook."

It is clear that the MSM does not care about truth. Though they are being careful not to tout this false history of the middle east as accurate, the MSM has also not condemned it.

It is, in fact, this pack of lies on which the current democrat party position on the middle east is based. Carter repeats the lies, but he did not invent them. The lies are a version of anti-semitism focused just at Israel, which is current democrat party background for their defense and tolerance of the islamofascists.

Our nation is at a crossroads. Many people are gloating over the recent democrat party victories in elections. These are people who do not understand the lies on which their feelings of joy are based. Lies are not facts.

The truth is that islamofascism is a cancer eating at the world. It is still possible for it to create the destruction of the west which is its dream. Those who think that any form of socialism is superior to any form of free enterprise are simply deluded. Those who think they can "work with" islamofascism are deluded. The idea that you can negotiate with people who want you dead is a pernicious idea that has failed whenever and wherever it is tried.

What are you going to settle for? They want you dead. Will it be okay if they simply make you cut off a leg? What if all they will settle for is your head? What is your counter offer?

Power-Line is a good blog to keep in your favorites. These people have better contacts than many people in government, and certainly better contacts than the MSM. If you care about truth, it is time to stop reading the major newspapers and start getting your news from the blogs. Read a couple of blogs on both sides of an issue and you may have enough facts and differing views to get to the truth. You will not get truth reading any newspaper.

I have been told that my repeated prediction that we are headed for nuclear bombs going off in a number of cities, in Israel and America, is "exageration" and "paranoia". I actually hope so. I fear it is not.
