BACKPAGE AT FRONTPAGE? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REVIEW OF DIANA WEST’S BOOK?

http://www.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/2582/-American-Betrayal-Purged-at-Frontpage.aspx=

On Monday, July 8, before catching a 5:45 am shuttle bus to Dulles to take American Betrayal to LA, I managed to scan a new, perfectly wonderful review by Mark Tapson posted at Frontpagemag.com. The timing was perfect. Along with the group Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, Freedom Center was co-sponsoring one of my LA book events, which the piece duly noted, including a link to register for the Wednesday event.

Both Frontpage and the Freedom Center are David Horowitz enterprises.

Here is the review at Frontpage. Or, rather, here was the review at Frontpage.

What happened?

Later, when I couldn’t pull up the Frontpage review to send a link to someone, I thought it odd but didn’t worry much about it as I was very busy. Fortunately, Ruth King had already posted the review at Ruthfully Yours so I sent out the link to her site.

When I finally got around to asking about the disappeared review, I heard back that there was a “glitch.” OK. But when the piece never went back up I knew there was more than a “glitch.”

I was right.

The piece was purposefully removed from view — purged, censored as unfit for publication at Frontpage.

Why?

Managing editor Jamie Glazov replied: “Removing the review was an editorial decision. … We will be posting another review soon.”

Glazov also wrote: “… As I wrote to you, we have commissioned another review. If you are not happy with it and wish to reply we will of course open our pages so that you can respond. …”

Must be a lulu.

There is nothing unusual about a publication running more than one review of a book, particularly one as controversial as American Betrayal. It is unheard of to remove an “offending” review and substitute another in its place — as if the first review never happened.

I will close for now with Frontpage’s own motto: “Inside every liberal is a totalitarian screaming to get out.”

Takes one to know one.

P,.DAVID HORNIK: THE ARAB WORLD’S RAMADAN HATE FEST

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/davidhornik/the-arab-worlds-ramadan-hate-fest/print/ Last Wednesday Ramadan began—the month-long Muslim holiday commemorating the first month in which Muhammad received Quranic revelations. Ramadan is, of course, a holiday of fasting—during the day. In the evenings, after the fast-breaking Iftar meal, families typically gather together around the TV. That sounds nice—family fun and togetherness for the holiday. The problem is with […]

NICK GRAY: LOOK WHO IS BLOCKADING GAZA NOW- THE MEDIA WILL SKIP THIS

One of the most common of the many plaintive cries from those who want an excuse to delegitimise Israel is that she is still “occupying” Gaza (even though there isn’t a single Israeli soldier or civilian there). Another emotive complaint is that Israel is still carrying out an “illegal blockade” on Gaza and that she […]

RUSSIA TO ARREST OPENLY GAY TOURISTS?

http://www.thecommentator.com/article/3965/russia_to_arrest_openly_gay_tourists

A new law in Russia will allow the government to arrest and detain gay or “pro-gay” tourists, leading to concerns over tourism and the 2014 Winter Olympics

Canadian travel magazine ‘Travel and Escape’ is reporting that an anti-gay law recently passed in Russia may result in the arrest of ‘openly gay’ tourists to the country. It says, “It is now outlawed to be ‘out and proud'” in the former Soviet power.

The report calls the move “a throwback to the country’s authoritarian ruling”, with Russian president Vladimir Putin signing a controversial law that punishes people for “homosexual propaganda.” The law fines people—including tourists—up to 200,000 rubles (£4,040 GBP) for “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations.”

Apparently, anything from gay-affirmative speech to hand-holding; even displaying a rainbow flag on your backpack is reportedly illegal. Recently in southern Russia, there were complaints that Elton John’s stage outfits fell under “gay propaganda.”

According to Voice of Russia, any display of affection between same-sex couples could cause a “distorted understanding” that gay relations and heterosexual relations are socially equivalent, and risk spreading Western liberalism. Putin claims the law doesn’t discriminate against LGBT people, but rather—in an argument riddled with faulty logic—is there to “protect children from pedophilia.”

The new laws will undoubtedly impact tourism and the upcoming 2014 Winter Games in Sochi. LGBT visitors—or anyone who embraces the gay community—may no longer want to visit the games.

Travel site Skift reports that the new law contains a provision that allows the Russian government to arrest and detain gay (or “pro-gay”) foreigners for up to 14 days before they would then be expelled from Russia.

A number of celebrities, The Huffington Post reports, including Madonna and Lady Gaga, have sparked controversy by speaking out on behalf of Russia’s beleaguered LGBT community over the past year.

DANIEL GREENFIELD: THE AMERICAN DEEP STATE

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ Few myths are as beloved among liberals as the idea that wars could be put down to a conspiracy of defense contractors. Throw together Haliburton, Northrop Grumman and GE along with some retired generals and you have the makings of your next war. The fabled military-industrial complex was a dimwitted descendant of the WW1 […]

SHARI GOODMAN: THE SEEDS OF JIHAD

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-seeds-of-jihad Not a day goes by when I venture out to any local shopping or recreational area when I am not confronted by many Muslim women in their traditional hijabs or on occasion full burkas.  Sometimes they are alone, but more often than not they are in groups and totally oblivious to the non-Muslims within […]
