Black slaves toiling in the fields of large plantations, gentlemen in frock coats and ladies in hoop skirts relaxing on the verandas of large mansions . . . all set in places named Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland and Mississippi. Most would imagine this to be a picture of the antebellum American South, but they would be mistaken, as it would actually be a scene from mid-Nineteenth Century Africa. More specifically, an area on the Ivory Coast that contained not only Liberia, but the colonies of several Southern states. To set the stage for our African story, we must first return to America’s earliest days. Contrary to what is claimed by the “1619 Project,” the first ...

Tora! Tora! Tora! is the Japanese signal to attack - and the movie meticulously recreates the attack on Pearl Harbor and the events leading up to it. Opening scenes contrast the American and Japanese positions. Japanese imperialists decide to stage the attack. Top U.S. brass ignore it's possibility. Intercepted Japanese messages warn of it - but never reach F.D.R.'s desk. Radar warnings are disregarded. Even the entrapment of a Japanese submarine in Pearl Harbor before the attack goes unreported. Ultimately the Day of Infamy arrives - in the most spectacular, gut-wrenching cavalcade of action-packed footage ever. You'll see moments of unsurpassed spectacle and heroism: U.S. ...

Angleton, Mossad, and the Kennedy Assassinations

Edward Curtin wrote four years ago on Counter-Currents: perhaps no one epitomized the twisted mind games played by intelligence agencies more than James Jesus Angleton, the notorious CIA Counterintelligence Chief for so many years, in whose safe were found gruesome photos of Robert Kennedy’s autopsy. Why, one may ask, were those photos there, since Angleton allegedly had no connection to the RFK killing and since Sirhan was said to be the assassin? Was Angleton’s work as CIA liaison with Israel in any way connected? If you ask me, I strongly suspect it was. Angleton had been the Mossad’s indispensable ally in John Kennedy’s assassination. So he had personal reasons ...

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is their day, isn't it? It is supposed to be the day a grateful nation pauses to quietly thank the more than one million men and women who have died in military service to their country since the Revolutionary War. Or is it the day the beach resorts kick into high gear for the summer season, the day the strand is covered by fish-belly white people basting themselves in coconut oil, the day the off-season rates end and the weekend you can't get in a seaside seafood restaurant with anything less than a one hour wait. Or is is one of the biggest shopping center sales days of the year, a day when hunting for a parking space is the prime sport for the holiday stay-at-homers? ...

In mid-January 1945, Soviet troops entered original German soil for the first time, and for many German civilians, this was akin to the gates of hell opening before them. However, in this program we are going to focus on the reaction of the Soviets to seeing German society. We will see in shock what this supposed to them, and how the postal service censors had to get down to work.

The SHOCKING Real Story of the Dresden Firestorm

The bombing of Dresden in 1945 resulted in a firestorm that wiped out the 7th largest city in Germany. This event sparked a massive historical debate over whether it was legitimate or not, whether it was a war crime or not, and whether there were 25,000 fatalities, or 400,000! Using on-screen references, this historical documentary presents the real story of what happened in Dresden on the 13th of February 1945, and examines the evidence to conclude a reasonable estimate of the fatalities, and whether the Dresden bombing was a war crime or not.

The night I met Hunter Biden: Mac Shop owner John Mac Isaac recounts fateful encounter in exclusive excerpt

On a fateful night in April 2019, John Paul Mac Isaac was working at his store, The Mac Shop in Wilmington, Del., when a customer walked in who would upend his life. In his forthcoming book, “American Injustice: My Battle to Expose the Truth,” Isaac will tell his story — and here, in an exclusive first look, he describes the moment he met Hunter Biden. It was a Friday night, 10 minutes before the shop’s closing time. I was checking out a website about CNC machines and woodworking. I had no intention of working late; I was ready to go out after a long and busy week. But then bright, cool LED headlights bounced off the counter from the front window. I leaned back in my ...

The Outcome of the Crimean War by Jessica Brain On 30th March 1856, the Crimean War was formally brought to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. This formal recognition signed at the Congress of Paris came after Russia accepted a humiliating defeat against the alliance of Britain, France, the Ottoman Empire and Sardinia. The treaty itself would address Russian expansionism, quashing dreams of a Russian empire equal to none, whilst at the same time confirming the importance of the Ottoman Empire in maintaining a very tentative balance of power in Europe. The Crimean War which had begun in October 1853 lasted eighteen months and, in that time, had escalated into a series of ...

In remembrance: 80 years since Bataan horrors Exclusive: Barbara Simpson honors those who died in brutal march at hands of Japanese By Barbara Simpson Published April 22, 2022 at 7:13pm There is something to be said for age – it often gives us a perspective on history that younger people don't have. Unfortunately, it's a perspective they will never get because our educational system has thinned out what is taught to our children. Our media are filled with news about the war in Ukraine and the role of Russia. Whether we are getting the whole truth remains to be seen, and of course, we have no idea on how it will all play out. Will Russia "win"? Will Ukraine save ...

Black Americans commemorating Confederate history

In the small town of Livingston, Tennessee, Mayor Curtis Hayes recently signed a citywide proclamation declaring April 2022 as "Confederate History Month." According to the county news website, Hayes's intention was to serve as an impetus to "all citizens to avail themselves of the opportunities to increase their knowledge of this important era of Tennessee's history." A striking photo op to disrupt the left's narrative and modus operandi of revisionist history, Hayes, a Black American, signed the proclamation with some of his townsfolk behind him — white descendents of Confederate military members. In a time of absolute historical and intellectual ...

The Holocaust: Myth and Reality, Overview of the book by Dr. Nicholas Kollerstrom Heresy In the 21st Century Never in my long journalistic career have I ever hesitated to put pen to paper – until now. Indeed, I have delayed writing this overview of Dr. Kollerstrom’s remarkable book for going on six years.[1] Up until now no subject had been too controversial, too sensitive, too beyond the pale as to warrant more than a passing moment’s consideration of consequences. But this is different. In some sixteen countries in Europe one can be put in prison for doing what I am doing now, or even for expressing ‘holocaust denialism’ on social media. In Germany some fifteen ...

Old Lady Reveals The SIN She Witnessed In The 1890s In Rural Maine

I have posted clips from this documentary before but have been asked so many questions about it so I decided to tell the background story. Here I post the full interview. It is a strange and sad story and my documentary details the efforts my team and I made to decide if it was true. And indeed, we found evidence sufficient to conclude that it was. Rural Maine in the 1800s was a rough place to be sure. Cold weather. Puritan people. Shunning an active part of community life. To me, local journalist Nettie Mitchell was a hero and I deeply appreciated her sharing her story with me. She had held it inside for so long. And her presentation is in my view, beyond spectacular. Basically, it is ...

The Raid, also known as the Tokyo Raid, was an air raid on 18 April 1942 by the United States on the Japanese capital Tokyo and other places on Honshu during World War II. It was the first air operation to strike the Japanese archipelago. Although the raid caused comparatively minor damage it demonstrated that the Japanese mainland was vulnerable to American air attacks. It served as retaliation for the 7 December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, and provided an important boost to American morale. The raid was planned by, led by, and named after Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle (later a Lieutenant General in the US Army Air Forces and the US Air Force Reserve). Under the final plan, 16 ...
