All too true.
Just picked up a copy of the book BABI YAR, by Anatoly Kuznetsov at our library for 25 cents. They always seem to be getting rid of the best history books, and the timing is interesting.
Michael Moore deliberatelly chose the title Fahrenheit 911 to draw attention away from Truffaut's massterpiece interpretation of Ray Bradburry's Fahrenheit 451
Liberals DO destroy books. Many exist in print only, without any electronic reference. In 10 years from now, the knowledge of paper version will be equivalent to oral copy.
We have to start making lists of recommended books and making electronic references to them.
Thank you for mentioning this one.
BTT!!!
I'm currently working on a project scanning and digitizing microfilm of 19th-century publications.
Anti Semitism has reared its ugly head across a broad swath of Eurasia. When we hung the Nazi leaders at Nuremberg, the message was mostly felt in the US and in Western Europe. The further east (and south) one goes, the less the message is part of people's psyche. That is why there is a resurgence of both the fradulent Protocols of the Elders of Zion in the Middle East and Mein Kampf through out the non Western World. Of note, some of the worst anti Semitism I have observed is in pan Sinic groups. But Islamists and Arab Pan Nationalists are in stiff competition with them in this regard. Finally, another very dangerous group is the National Bolsheviks, a resurgence of an older concept developed by people who had been Communists around 1900 but later gravitated toward the Nazi way of thinking. Whereas, the early 1900s version of it was mostly found in France, Germany and the Benelux countries, the current version appears to be focused in the former Soviet Union and Germany. The National Bolsheviks, notably, have ties with Spartacus in Canada and nearly every neo Nazi and major anarchist group in the US and UK. And some folks thought I was kidding when I wrote, a few months ago, that I am a Nazi hunter. :=)
That bears repeating:
PLEASE NOTE that the so called British Helsinki Group is NOT affiliated with the IHF
The BHHRG is merely a group of old Europe leftists who are trading on the legitimacy of the actual Helsinki Federation groups.
The fact that they also go under the name "OSCE Watch", is something of a dead giveaway as to where their actual agenda lies.
Contrary to the condemnations issued by the team of professional politicians and diplomats deployed by the OSCE mainly from NATO and EU states, the BHHRG observers did not see evidence of government-organized fraud nor of suppression of opposition media.
...
In spite of concerns, BHHRG finds no reason to believe that the final result of the 2004 presidential election in Ukraine was not generally representative of genuine popular will.
