Road to MoscowBill Clinton’s Early Activism from Fulbright to Moscow By Fedora SummaryDuring the 1992 campaign, Bill Clinton’s student protests and Moscow trip generated much controversy, but few answers. While Clinton’s government files from that era seemingly remain unavailable even today, there is at least more information available than in 1992. The public record reveals that Clinton’s social network and views on Vietnam were influenced by a pattern of contact between Communist agents and sympathizers and Clinton’s academic and political associates. This pattern is documented here through an analysis of Clinton’s antiwar activity up through the time he left Oxford...

The official CCP posture is implacable anger against Japan for its imperialist scorched earth policy in China, but the fact gone down the memory hole is that during one phase of the CCP's holy Long March, Mao's forces, now called the PRA, fought with the Japanese against Chang Kai Shek's Nationalist Komingtang. This was in a footnote to Conservapedia's article on one of the most vile betrayers of the Chinese people, Owen Lattimore of the Rockefeller-funded Institute of Pacific Relations. That article is worth the read on its own. In July and August 1943, the Chinese Communist forces—in the midst...

We know that history holds many surprises. One doesn't expect to learn more about the secret history of of the Gulag than we already know from both Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Acrcipelago" and Anne Applebaum's "Gulag: A history." This feat, however, is exactly what author Tim Tzouliadis has accomplished: the previously unknown story of the thousands of Americans who, during the Depression, sought employment and a better future in the "worker's paradise" built by the Bolsheviks. All kinds of Americans joined the exodus. Some of them were Communists or fellow-travelors but the majority were average Americans - skilled workers promised paid passage,...

The links between Nick Berg and Zacarias Moussaoui, once described as the 20th hijacker of 9/11, opened now room for new speculations, if there are deeper ties between the OKC Bombing'95 and 9/11, than thought before. Apparently Berg knew also Moussaoui's roomates. One of them was Mujahid Menepta, who is connected to both 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1995 OKC bombing. But Menepta wasn't arrested in Summer 2001, when Moussaoui got caught.

AUBURN - What has been a strained relationship between Mayor Timothy Lattimore and Councilman David Dempsey apparently came to blows Thursday night. City police are investigating an incident during an executive session portion of the city council meeting in which Dempsey reportedly struck Lattimore. "It was a physical altercation," said Cayuga County District Attorney James Vargason, who conferred with city Police Chief Gary Gianotta on the matter twice Friday. "I have not seen the medical records, but it's my understanding (Lattimore) received some injuries." Reached by phone Friday, Lattimore declined to comment on what happened, except to say that police...

David Brock’s Blinded by the Right has made the New York Times bestseller list thanks to the liberals who used to hate him. He had called Anita Hill "little bit nutty and a little bit slutty" in an article about the left’s effort to block Clarence Thomas’s elevation to the Supreme Court. He broke "Troopergate," stories told by Arkansas state troopers who drove Governor Clinton to dates with girl friends and arranged meetings with women who caught the governor’s eye. Brock’s story about one such incident resulted in Paula Jones suing the president. Brock got a million-dollar advance for a...
