This is why we have folks such as Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and many others who are getting the TRUTH out NOW.
Leftists love the jihadis because both leftists and jihadis really want to destroy this country and build it up again as a totalitarian state.
And we will face a 70 year battle with it, in spots all over the globe, just like with Communism too.
In his introduction to Diana’s brief speech, Mr Gaffeny mentioned Ms. West’s syndicated column from last week:
For logic-minded Americans still genuinely puzzled as to how it could be that our presidents and secretaries of state and generals and pundits keep hammering home the big lie that Islam has nothing to do with jihad, that the religion of conquest is a “religion of peace,” I have a special warning. Such widespread, politics- and mass-media-driven brainwashing is nothing new.
Just as today’s opinion-makers seek to divorce Islam from its impact — for example, brutal conquest, forced conversion, religiously sanctioned sex slavery, beheadings — past opinion-makers worked equally hard to divorce communism from its impact — for example, brutal conquest, forced collectivization, concentration camps (Gulags), mass murder.

The more I continue to learn about the extensive penetration by Stalin’s secret agents into the federal government over the two decades that FDR and then Harry Truman held the Oval Office, the clearer it is that the American ship of state had too many hands loyal to the USSR pushing at the rudder, influencing, to varying degrees, the direction of U.S. policy and strategy, even if not especially during World War II.
Such is the once-hidden history that comes into closer focus since the U.S. and Russian governments released some subset of their vast secret archives — intelligence documents, FBI files and the like. Reigning “court historians” keep looking the other way, hoping Americans never notice the big picture: that FDR presided over the biggest national security disaster in U.S. history, the massive infiltration of the U.S. government by agents of a foreign power.
Ken Burns’ new PBS documentary, “The Roosevelts,” typifies this blackout. For example, take the series’ treatment of the Yalta Conference, the final meeting of the so-called Big Three wartime leaders. Old news footage shows the conference table, from Stalin to FDR to Churchill. The camera also shows a man who sure looks like Soviet military intelligence agent and U.S. State Department official Alger Hiss. Next to him is top White House aide and, according to some experts, Soviet agent or asset Harry Hopkins. Both men are seated behind the dupe-ish secretary of state Edward Stettinius.
Does Burns inform viewers of the identities of these notorious figures seemingly “boring from within” before the viewer’s eyes? Does he note the existence of scholarship confirming covert agent Hiss’ outspoken role at the conference, and evidence that he may have exerted influence over deliberations on China policy, war reparations including German slave labor, and other vital issues in the USSR’s favor? Is there any mention of the troubling questions about Hopkins’ single-mindedly pro-Soviet stance that caused George C. Marshall to describe “Hopkins’ job with the president” as being “to represent the Russian interests”?
Silence. Or rather, Burnsian chatter about the big secret of Yalta being FDR’s grave health — something obvious to anyone who looked at him. The series’ ultimate mission is accomplished, however. A re-gilded FDR is burnished to a starry sheen, blinding a worshipful audience.
Diana West could have kept quiet. She could’ve written a historical account of those years that was in alignment with the Narrative of Lies we’re all taught in government schools. It sure would’ve been easier to go with the flow than it has been to stand athwart The Lie, demanding truth for a change.
She’s right: history narratives like the one Ken Burns told will blind us to the point that we won’t recognize truth anymore.
Truth is too scary, too alarming for regular folks to be permitted to see. So the history architects continue to build risible “domestic workplace violence” walls around the ugly reality of Islam’s ‘random’ beheadings. Nothing to see here…especially if you’re blind.
Remember that FDR had a pack of Communists and Communist sympathisers in his circle.
Why is the group CAIR even allowed to operate in this country? We never had the equivalent in WW2 for the Germans or Japanese.
This is how it works.
They tell us what they are going to do to us, a short time later they do it, and our government makes a excuse that what they did was not really what they said they would do so it was not them that did it.
I’ve known about communism since a lad, and spent 10 years active military service, during The Cold War.
During that active time, I learned just how batty those mohammedan buzzards are, when the Siamese brand of that bunch, blew up a few places in Bangkok, one of which I just walked from, in 1972.
I know about both, and it is many of those “aw-come-on-it can’t-be-as-bad-as-that” thinkers, that are doing their due diligence, to paint that cheesy white fencepost picture of both of these deadly ideologies.
Heck, I wish that 1/5 of the world's population didn't follow this crazy "prophet," but they do. Denying it won't change anything.
