There are lots of really frightening ideas in the heads of other local government boards and councils as well. All of them supremely confident that they have a complete handle on the world.

One of my<br />electronics students here at the college came to me a number of years ago and said the his communications professor<br />taught them that during WWII the Japanese captured Indians in America and made them handle all the Japanese<br />communications. Needless to say, I was shocked that one of our educators could be so wrong and told the student<br />to go to the library or get on the web and look up the Windtalkers and get the real facts! rkinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432551832152096206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-15827792534935790692015-09-17T08:22:06.798-07:002015-09-17T08:22:06.798-07:00Yup, two movies by the same name.

I'll give some thought to watching it one of these days though I'm hesitant given the present film industry/SJW zeitgeist.<br /><br />It's a superb story and I hope the film does it justice. Maybe it'll nudge a few people away from the popular narrative and towards reality. I seriously doubt that anyone in my community has any idea that Israel fought a war of survival and independence in 1948. I was at a school board meeting a couple of years ago when a young teacher gave an impassioned plea for support of the "palestinian cause," citing among other examples "Jewish soldiers murdering innocent palestinian athletes at the Berlin Olympics back in the 1960's." A chilling moment. Moreso because of the reaction in the room, grownup, "educated" folk who were shocked and outraged at this evil crime. And doubtless went home and vigorously clicked charity dollars toward hezbollah and hamas. PrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.com
