PUT IT IN THE FILE BLAMING FDR FOR PEARL HARBOR

Revisado: 11-21-20

THIs is a very poorly evidenced argument that an alleged Soviet mole dissuaded FDR from reaching a peace agreement with Japan that might have prevented Pearl Harbor. Koster alleges that Harry Dexter White (a Jew. said with minimal evidence to be "Stalin's man in Washington") caused his boss Henry Morgenthau (another Jew) to persuade Roosevelt to ignore supposedly reasonable Japanese peace offers and thus precipitated the attack. On the basis of FDR's setting aside of a decrypted Japanese message on the eve of Pearl Harbor and saying "this mean's war" the President is implicitly accused of discerning and allowing the intended attack. Morgenthau's resistance to coming to terms with Germany following the July 1944 assassination attempt gets him blamed for causing The Battle of the Bulge. Koster clearly doesn't appear to like FDR or his anti-Nazi Jewish or liberal advisors, including Harry Hopkins. He variously describes FDR as a "lightweight," "vindictive," and the heir to a fortune partly made by selling opium in China. This book deserves a place as a special on Fox News. I will put it in my file of "right-wing attacks on FDR and Chamberlin for causing WWII." Narrator Michael Kramer reads it with a hard-bitten tone that suggests conspiracies everywhere.

MIST READING

Revisado: 08-02-20

This is a book that every American should read. It recounts the 70 years of industrial scale slavery that preceded and led to the Civil war. Forced family separations by the hundreds of thousands, cotton productivity increased by relentless whippings, a whole credit economy driving the expansion of wealth in the form of enslaved bodies. If you want to understand the psychopathology and vast wealth inequalities that continue to damage our democracy you have to read this book.
