In Front Page Magazine, Matthew Vadum writes, "A young speechwriter may be responsible for concocting the official lies about last September's deadly terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya." ("Obama's Benghazi Propagandist") The speechwriter Ben Rhodes's qualifications for being Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting" are a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing!
Rhodes also is credited with writing Obama's Cairo speech, in which fiction was substituted for historical fact, something historian Brian Birdnow and I analyzed in the first Dissident Prof title, a guidebook for students who are assigned this speech in composition classes. Vadum quotes from the book, 'A New Beginning, Or a Revised Past? Barack Obama's Cairo Speech, to illustrate the creative license with history that Obama shamefully displayed and that is now being taught to students. The politically well-connected creative writer, Rhodes, Vadum points out, also had Obama's ear on Libya and managed to convince him to reverse the U.S. decades old policy of supporting Mubarak. Dissident Prof, the English teacher, notes the irony. Sadly, the Keystone Cops quality of those in the White House is leading to limitless tragedies. Vadum continues to skillfully demolish the narrative about an "intellectual" and "eloquent" president.
Speaking of terrorism, we turn now to the apologists in the academy.

Posted July 23, 2013: By Mary Grabar: Larry Grathwohl, my friend and hero, has passed on to join the pantheon of other truth-tellers about communism. His death last week merited mentions in blogs and sites like PJ Media, Canada Free Press, and the People’s Cube. Tina Trent, who republished his book, Bringing Down America, was the first in our circle of friends and admirers to learn about his death and to publish the remembrance on her site and a notice on the book page blog. As the People’s Cube points out, in a just world Larry’s death would have made front-page news in the New York Times. Instead we have had the relentless attention on Trayvon Martin and the “pioneer” reporter Helen Thomas.
But it’s part of the plan to deny any truth about communist dangers facing us and to use the old Soviet strategy going back to the 1920s to divide us over race until we collapse in a civil war. Larry, who never held an academic, government, or editorial board position, saw the strategy clearly and from first-hand experience from infiltrating the domestic terrorist group Weather Underground, led by today’s darlings of academia, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. A Midwesterner (from the flyover country of Ohio) and from a blue-collar family, he did this after serving a tour of duty in Vietnam, described here by James Simpson. The continued manipulation of race for revolutionary purposes was described in a paper Larry presented at an America’s Survival conference.
Posted February 25, 2016, by Mary Grabar: While PBS was releasing its whitewash of the Black Panthers and spoiled college students were protesting because of imaginary slights put out by Black Lives Matter, a true American hero passed away. I had never heard of him, but came across this story in the Washington Post that begins,
Fred V. Cherry, an Air Force fighter pilot, was downed by enemy fire over North Vietnam in 1965, and he spent more than seven years as a prisoner of war.
