Nothing new under the sun: Propaganda by the Deed

The New Neo Posted on July 27, 2011 by neoJuly 27, 2011

Ever hear of Propaganda by the Deed? At the beginning of the 20th Century, anarchists were in the middle of what was known as the ”˜Propaganda by the Deed’ period. The idea was that by killing members of the ruling … Continue reading →

Kennedy assassination conspirators again: how they operate

The New Neo Posted on June 20, 2011 by neoAugust 13, 2019

There are two topics almost guaranteed to draw a lot of heated commentary and trolls. No, I’m not speaking of tits and ass (hey, I just threw that in to see if some traffic would come). I’m speaking of (a) … Continue reading →

The Kennedy conspiracists’ conspiracy

The New Neo Posted on June 18, 2011 by neoJune 18, 2011

I’ve been reading a book by Vincent Bugliosi entitled Reclaiming History, which purports to definitively prove that Oswald killed JFK by himself and was not part of any conspiracy. Bugliosi amasses a mountain of evidence (almost literally; the book is … Continue reading →

Historians: well, Palin was right but it was only an accident

The New Neo Posted on June 6, 2011 by neoJune 6, 2011

The right side of the blogosphere has been busy digging up evidence that Sarah Palin’s remarks on Paul Revere, for which her opponents had derided her in their usual manner, were actually correct (I did my little part here). Now … Continue reading →

Palin: history and Paul Revere’s ride

The New Neo Posted on June 3, 2011 by neoJune 3, 2011

Palin commits an Obamaism and mispeaks on history: [Paul Revere] who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town … Continue reading →

Obama and history: it depends on what the meaning of “always” is

The New Neo Posted on April 21, 2011 by neoApril 21, 2011

A lot of attention was paid recently to Obama’s display of pique at interviewer Brad Watson, who had the temerity to ask the president a couple of slightly challenging questions on Monday. But far more interesting to me was another … Continue reading →

The Newsweek quiz: who was buried in Grant’s tomb?

The New Neo Posted on March 22, 2011 by neoMarch 22, 2011

Lincoln? Princess Diana? Elvis? It’s a joke of a question, so easy almost no one could miss the answer. And yet some of the sample questions on Newsweek’s citizen quiz were just about as easy, and an astounding number of … Continue reading →

The effect of the Japan disaster

The New Neo Posted on March 21, 2011 by neoMarch 21, 2011

This AP article just may be the stupidest article on the Japanese earthquake and tsunami that I’ve read so far. Anyone who never realized that industrialized, organized, complex nations are most vulnerable of all to such threats simply does not … Continue reading →

Semi-truth: “The Social Network”

The New Neo Posted on February 25, 2011 by neoFebruary 25, 2011

Last night I watched the movie “The Social Network,” the story of Mark Zuckerberg and his creation of Facebook, which featured his various and sundry betrayals of former friends, who later sued and won settlements against him. Ironic, of course, … Continue reading →

The Iranian Reichstag fire

The New Neo Posted on February 12, 2011 by neoFebruary 12, 2011

I was doing some research on the Iranian Revolution last night, and came across this terrible incident, which I’d never heard of before: On August 19, 1978, in the Cinema Rex fire, the Cinema Rex in Abadan, Iran, was set … Continue reading →

Mubarak offers to take half a step down

The New Neo Posted on February 10, 2011 by neoFebruary 10, 2011

Mubarak says that the reports of his resignation are greatly exaggerated. You may note that when I wrote earlier today about the predictions that he’d be leaving, I hedged a bit by saying, “That’s the report, anyway.” My skepticism came … Continue reading →
