"It is not simply a good book about history. It is one of those books which makes history. ... "
-- Vladimir Bukovsky, co-founder of the Soviet dissident movement and author of Judgment in Moscow, and Pavel Stroilov, author of Behind the Desert Storm.
"Diana West is distinguished from almost all political commentators because she seeks less to defend ideas and proposals than to investigate and understand what happens and what has happened. This gives her modest and unpretentious books and articles the status of true scientific inquiry, shifting the debate from the field of liking and disliking to being and non-being."
-- Olavo de Carvalho
If you're looking for something to read, this is the most dazzling, mind-warping book I have read in a long time. It has been criticized by the folks at Front Page, but they don't quite get what Ms. West has set out to do and accomplished. I have a whole library of books on communism, but -- "Witness" excepted -- this may be the best.
-- Jack Cashill, author of Deconstructing Obama: The Lives, Loves and Letters of America's First Postmodern President and First Strike: TWA Flight 800 and the Attack on America
"Every once in a while, something happens that turns a whole structure of preconceived ideas upside down, shattering tales and narratives long taken for granted, destroying prejudice, clearing space for new understanding to grow. Diana West's latest book, American Betrayal, is such an event."
-- Henrik Raeder Clausen, Europe News
West's lesson to Americans: Reality can't be redacted, buried, fabricated, falsified, or omitted. Her book is eloquent proof of it.
-- Edward Cline, Family Security Matters
"I have read it, and agree wholeheartedly."
-- Angelo Codevilla, Professor Emeritus of International Relations at Boston Unversity, and fellow of the Claremont Institute.
Enlightening. I give American Betrayal five stars only because it is not possible to give it six.
-- John Dietrich, formerly of the Defense Intelligence Agency and author of The Morgenthau Plan: Soviet Influence on American Postwar Policy.
After reading American Betrayal and much of the vituperation generated by neoconservative "consensus" historians, I conclude that we cannot ignore what West has demonstrated through evidence and cogent argument.
-- John Dale Dunn, M.D., J.D., Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons
"A brilliantly researched and argued book."
-- Edward Jay Epstein, author of Deception: The Invisible War between the KGB and the CIA, The Annals 0f Unsolved Crime
"This explosive book is a long-needed answer to court histories that continue to obscure key facts about our backstage war with Moscow. Must-reading for serious students of security issues and Cold War deceptions, both foreign and domestic."
-- M. Stanton Evans, author of Stalin's Secret Agents and Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies
Her task is ambitious; her sweep of crucial but too-little-known facts of history is impressive; and her arguments are eloquent and witty. ... American Betrayal is one of those books that will change the way many of us see the world.
-- Susan Freis Falknor, Blue Ridge Forum
"American Betrayal is absolutely required reading. Essential. You're sleepwalking without it."
-- Chris Farrell, director of investigations research, Judicial Watch
"Diana West wrote a brilliant book called American Betrayal, which I recommend to everybody ... It is a seminal work that will grow in importance."
-- Newt Gingrich, former House Speaker
"This is a must read for any serious student of history and anyone working to understand the Marxist counter-state in America."
-- John Guandolo, president, Understanding the Threat, former FBI special agent
It is myth, or a series of myths, concerning WW2 that Diana West is aiming to replace with history in 2013’s American Betrayal.
If West’s startling revisionism is anywhere near the historical truth, the book is what Nietzsche wished his writings to be, dynamite.
-- Mark Gullick, British Intelligence
“What Diana West has done is to dynamite her way through several miles of bedrock. On the other side of the tunnel there is a vista of a new past. Of course folks are baffled. Few people have the capacity to take this in. Her book is among the most well documented I have ever read. It is written in an unusual style viewed from the perspective of the historian—but it probably couldn’t have been done any other way.”
-- Lars Hedegaard, historian, journalist, founder, Danish Free Press Society
The polemics against your Betrayal have a familiar smell: The masters of the guild get angry when someone less worthy than they are ventures into the orchard in which only they are privileged to harvest. The harvest the outsider brought in, they ritually burn.
-- Hans Jansen, former professor of Islamic Thought, University of Utrecht
No book has ever frightened me as much as American Betrayal. ... [West] patiently builds a story outlining a network of subversion so bizarrely immense that to write it down will seem too fantastic to anyone without the book’s detailed breadth and depth. It all adds up to a story so disturbing that it has changed my attitude to almost everything I think about how the world actually is. ... By the time you put the book down, you have a very different view of America’s war aims and strategies. The core question is, did the USA follow a strategy that served its own best interests, or Stalin’s? And it’s not that it was Stalin’s that is so compelling, since you knew that had to be the answer, but the evidence in detail that West provides that makes this a book you cannot ignore.
-- Steven Kates, RMIT (Australia) Associate Professor of Economics, Quadrant
"Diana West's new book rewrites WWII and Cold War history not by disclosing secrets, but by illuminating facts that have been hidden in plain sight for decades. Furthermore, she integrates intelligence and political history in ways never done before."
-- Jeffrey Norwitz, former professor of counterterrorism, Naval War College
[American Betrayal is] the most important anti-Communist book of our time ... a book that can open people's eyes to the historical roots of our present malaise ... full of insights, factual corroboration, and psychological nuance.
-- J.R. Nyquist, author, Origins of the Fourth World War
Although I know [Christopher] Andrew well, and have met [Oleg] Gordievsky twice, I now doubt their characterization of Hopkins -- also embraced by Radosh and the scholarly community. I now support West's conclusions after rereading KGB: The Inside Story account 23 years later [relevant passages cited in American Betrayal]. It does not ring true that Hopkins was an innocent dupe dedicated solely to defeating the Nazis. Hopkins comes over in history as crafty, secretive and no one's fool, hardly the personality traits of a naïve fellow traveler. And his fingerprints are on the large majority of pro-Soviet policies implemented by the Roosevelt administration. West deserves respect for cutting through the dross that obscures the evidence about Hopkins, and for screaming from the rooftops that the U.S. was the victim of a successful Soviet intelligence operation.
-- Bernie Reeves, founder of The Raleigh Spy Conference, American Thinker
Diana West’s American Betrayal — a remarkable, novel-like work of sorely needed historical re-analysis — is punctuated by the Cassandra-like quality of “multi-temporal” awareness. ... But West, although passionate and direct, is able to convey her profoundly disturbing, multi-temporal narrative with cool brilliance, conjoining meticulous research, innovative assessment, evocative prose, and wit.
-- Andrew G. Bostom, PJ Media
Do not be dissuaded by the controversy that has erupted around this book which, if you insist on complete accuracy, would be characterized as a disinformation campaign.
-- Jed Babbin, The American Spectator
In American Betrayal, Ms. West's well-established reputation for attacking "sacred cows" remains intact. The resulting beneficiaries are the readers, especially those who can deal with the truth.
-- Wes Vernon, Renew America

Dear Michelle,
I saw your column-farewell this morning with resignation and understanding. Michelle Malkin is laying down her clarion pen -- and, yes, I remember well your blog's elegant logo from long ago. The "Left," the "Right" have done everything they could to seize that pen from you, to block it, stop it, tarnish it, break it, box it, sabotage it, silence it ... and they failed. Michelle and her pen have always triumphed. And that is the way the column ends.
In your characteristic style, you summarized...

The Epoch Tims reports:
The FBI is asking a US Court to reverse its order that it produce information from Seth Rich's computer.
This is the same Seth Rich's computer, remember, that the FBI lied its head off swearing on a stack of Communist Manifestos that it did not have in its possession. In 2020, it finally allowed how it, welk, yes, had thousands of files from the computer of the 27-year-old DNC official, murdered by assailants unknown in 2016 at age 27, after all.
If the US Court doesn't bend to the Stasi's will (watch out, Judge) and continues to order the FBI to release the...

In a letter to the Canadian Medical Association, Dr. William Makis writes:
On September 3, 2022, I wrote you a letter regarding the sudden and unexpected deaths of 32 young Canadian doctors since the rollout of COVID‐19 vaccines, and I raised concerns about COVID‐19 vaccines and vaccine mandates contributing to these sudden deaths. The letter went viral on social media, it was viewed by millions of people worldwide, was translated into dozens of languages, andbecame the topic of numerous podcasts, media interviews, internet videos and news articles.
There has been a tremendous interest worldwide into what is killing Canada’s fully COVID‐19 vaccinated young doctors. Unfortunately, Canada’s healthcare...

This meme running around sociial media perfectly encapsulates the latest party line zig-zagging.
The about-face from fear-mongering about WWIII under Trump (never mind that Trump started no new wars) to jumping for joy for WWIII under the NWO may be unequaled in vertabrae-crushing severity since Moscow switched its CPUSA members from demonstrating for pacifism during the Nazi-Soviet Pact years (1939-1941) to demonstrating for war after Nazi Germany's attack on the USSR in June of 1941.

The Spanish-speaking doctors and scientists of La Quinta Columna are calling out Drs. Cole and McCullough for throwing shade on their research and that of other scientists around the world showing the presebce of graphene oxide in the covid shots.
Drs. Cole and McCullough don't just minimize the GO research: they reject it categorically. Dr. Cole calls it "myth," "scaremongering" and "hogwash." Yes, he allows, there is "metal debris" present in the vaxxes, but that's only because "manufacturing is poor." Referencing an Italian study that found graphene oxide in the covid shot, Dr Cole insists that what researchers saw were "cholesteral crystals." He adds something about the presence of "some salt," "crystalization of sugars and...

Jeffrey McKellop, US Army Special Forces (retired), 56, served our nation honorably in numerous theaters of war, including Iraq and Afghanistan, but our nation -- the regime in charge, at least -- has abused him miserably. As a J6 forever-"detainee," McKellop has been held in that penal hell known as the DC Gulag for some 18 months and counting -- held without bond, held without speedy trial, and in conditions so inhumane and cruel they would be familiar to victims of the USSR's Gulag Archipelago. Earlier this week, McKellop and 33 fellow political prisoners actually wrote a letter...

Welcome to Main Street, Hanover, New Hampshire, home of Dartmouth College, established in 1769.

This is an old file photo but the buildings look the same.

This little garden spot is Dirt Cowboy Cafe, established 1993, and it sits at the top of Main Street. While not quite so old as Dartmouth College, nearly three decades of top-notch-coffee (and amazing lemon danishes) have made Dirt Cowboy almost as much of a Hanover institution.

This is Thomas Guerra, Dirt Cowboy's owner. Notice the early spring...
