When will the American (and World) public get it through their skulls--IT'S A WORK OF FICTION.

So is "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." Funny joke that turned out to be.

And people not being educated, believing anything in print is half the problem in intelligent idea today too!

"When will the American (and World) public get it through their skulls--IT'S A WORK OF FICTION."

It is supposedly a work of historical fiction, and in such a work you have both foreground characters and the background. For instance, when writing a historical novel about WWII, you can invent foreground characters and have them speak and act as you like, but Hirohito is still the emperor of Japan, and the Nazis still commit their atrocities...

The foreground is invention; the background is supposed to be -- and is seen as -- history.

This book, however, does not present the background accurately, and must therefore be seen as an attempt to deceive.
