And I thank Diana West for sharing her clear insights and her willingness to always reappraise her views in light of new information. We are in great need of such clear minded, ideology-free journalists and authors.

    Diana West is a true patriot, every word she said is true. I was born 10 years after W.W. 2 and know the history very well. There were always things I could never figure out until ''American Betrayal.'' For one thing why was D-day referred to as the ''second front'' since we had already been fighting in North Africa as well as Italy. In fact, we had almost defeated Italy, which if you take out a map it is a very short distance from Northern Italy right into Germany. Many of our Generals wondered the same thing. It was Stalin's plan to prolong the war and allow him to conquer half of eastern Europe. FDR abandoned American Soldiers by the thousands that got caught behind the lines as the Soviet Army advanced. He also used American & British soldiers to return fleeing Russians to Stalin to be enslaved and murdered.

    I thought I might have been the only person not to be a Walter Cronkite fan. I heard about this journalist's STORY NOT WRITTEN from an interview he himself gave. It seems that he was imbedded with American troops around the time of the Battle of the Bulge began starting to brew up, and on hearing rumors that things might be heating up, he Vamanos out of Dodge. So much for running towards the fire -- a Lara Logan he was not-- so misses the scoop of his career! Diana West's new book, THE RED THREAD, sounds mucho interesting!! Diana -- a career well-lived!

    It is odd to me that instinct doesn't play a larger part and we are so easily led by the words of smooth lies we are told by our government. During that period I did not believe that we should go into Iraq. I knew that 9/11 was not what we were told it was. I was on the alert. I wondered a lot....why did the building look like a building that had been a demolition... Why did it burn so fast, how? Why was the evidence being carried away? I questioned what I heard, I questioned what I saw, and a came to question the media narrative. I could not believe that people bought the line of nuclear weapons in Iraq. The government went from Afghanistan to attack Iraq without mercy. There was a hole in the narrative as I understood it.. and the holes in the narratives has divided our people. The wars we have had with others has now come home to destroy our own nation. I do not see Muslims as the main source of or problems instead I see the traitors within our government and those who want to control the world as the problem not just for America but for the entire globe.

    Thank you for this presentation. Just reading the Koran is not sufficient to understanding Islam. You must also read 2 other books one of Mohammed's life and the other a book of sayings. The Koran is confusing because it deals with 2 distinct periods of Mohammed's life, one in Medina and the other in Mecca, both very different in their philosophy and politics.Please, if you want to see how subversive Political Islam is to any culture outside its own: see Dr. Bill Warner, website Political Islam and his many teaching videos on ytube.

    To Goofin Hiemer, You may be on to something --- although, who knows, right? Still, she grew up...in Laurel Canyon? And her father was an arch conservative?? Listen, you didn't live in Laurel Canyon in the 1960s --- and it was soon to become Hippie Headquarters for the nation after 1967, with every one of those soon-to-be nationally known hippie rock stars being, by coincidence, the sons and daughters of military intel specialists --- unless you, too, were linked to military intel. Otherwise, why would you be a conservative and live in, of all places, Laurel Canyon? Then she went to Yale, which is, for all intents and purposes, a large CIA recruiting office.

    Sounds just like a far-right idealist to me. When we grow up hearing certain perspectives, and then we write books to prove that perspective true, we are not using our full intelligence.
