The Untold History of the United States

ships log on the Mayflower said they pulled into Plymouth Rock because they were out of beer

There was one part with Truman talking about black people in a way you'd never hear in a Tom Brokaw story about Truman.

Revisionist history at its finest.

*Not Oliver Stone's version...the version we're taught in school.

It's so fact filled and so good, he has to go on a Russian propaganda machine, Russia Today to talk about "Correcting American History" to get attention for it.

I'll find some time to give it a try.

Like the indians?

Truman came from a family of slave owners... He grew up in a world where the Civil War was fought long before it ever reached the East coast.

Thanks for that, very interesting

Here it is...

Have to check it out later...

Anyone else read this?



Really interesting book, haven't finished it yet though.

I think anybody who knows anything about WWII knows the Soviet Union sacrificed by far the most, 26 MILLION dead, BUT it doesn't make Stalin a hero, he was a brutal dictator every bit the equal of Hitler. The human losses and suffering of the Russian people is staggering, they were heroes.

Russia won WWII for itself and then we know what they did to Eastern Europe, we didn't stand up to the bastard and sold out our allies. Patton wanted to take on the Russians after the Germans surrendered, who knows how that would have turned out. I don't know how Russia stood at the end of the war versus the rest of the Allies in terms of their respective militaries. What if we had dropped one nuke somewhere in Russia.

Bolshevik Jews were not agnostic, they were atheist, no condemnation of Jews that Communist Party Jews were loyal to Stalin and turned their backs on their own people. That's Marxism. Party first. And again no surprise about Oppenheim, he was a Communist. I don't think you grasp what a Communist is, the vast majority of Communists aren't Jews and the vast majority of Jews aren't communists.

We'll never see a war like that again.

Herbert Hoover didn't want the United States in the war, he thought it better to let the Russians and Germans kill and destroy themselves.
