Karin Friedemann: "Myths and Facts about al-Qaeda" (great article you MUST read!)

Karin is a good friend of mine. I love her tons & tons & tons.  She is an OUTSTANDING writer--clear & succinct.
She is an anti-Zionist like me. (Not anti-Jewish.)
Please stop your twisting things around & whining, "anti-Jew, anti-Semitic" b.s. (Most Israeli Jews are NOT even of Hebrew descent, they are descended from the kingdom of Khazar.) Learn your history before you throw the "racist" or "anti-Semite" accusation at me/her/us/everyone.

New Books That Have Arrived in the Mail--

Let me just say that I STILL LOVE getting mail! Real, physical, tangible mail.  "Snail-mail" so to speak. [I wonder where that term first originated? And by whom?]  In the early to mid 90's I had a post office box (p.o. box), especially useful when I was doing 'Book of Lies' fanzine (which incidentally never actually got finished & printed. In many ways this blog is a continuation of that 'zine) & receiving lots & lots of mail, music for review, letters, and ads for records & labels. Over a fifteen year period or so I had two different p.o. boxes. Nowadays the mail just gets delivered to my house & is more convenient than having to go check the ole' p.o. box everyday or so.  But little else has changed & I still get excited whenever the mail lady comes! I'm blessed to receive so many books, magazines, journals, fanzines, & letters! But in my insatiable thirst, it's still 'never enough.'  This is one of my biggest character defects. And believe me, I'm working on it (kind of).
Here are several books that I've received over the past week. m//r
