In recent days, I came across a blogger named Cassandra who impressed me greatly. I then noticed today that she gave my humble blog a kindly mention in her latest article, and so I want to take this opportunity to introduce you all, gentle readers, to someone else worth reading. If I helped provide impetus for her latest jotting with my talking points from June 11th, ‘Bush dismembers Serbia’ , then I’ll have to chalk that up to some hard work worth doing.
She hails from her blog, The Lighthouse, and lives in Athens, Greece, and her writing is powerful stuff. What I like best is how she so ably pieces together many sources to make a point. Here’s an excerpt from ‘Transnational Progressivism: an Inexplicable Presumption’ to give you a taste:
As history lessons are gradually erased from school curricula, it is not unusual to find Westerners going through their lives with the false idea that Greek temples, Armenian churches and Assyrian monasteries were built by Turks, unaware as they are of the fact that the Turkish tribes only came on the Indo-European scene out of the Mongolian planes, from the thirteenth century onwards, conquering the indigenous Christianized peoples in the process.
A similar development occurred from the eighth century onwards with the Islamic conquests of countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa: it may come as a shock to some victims of the postmodern interpretation of history education, but Islamic Turks and Arabs don’t build churches, or Greek ruins, or Roman aquaducts - never have, never will! Nor are they indigenous to Turkey (Asia Minor, or the Near East) or the Middle East, the Arabs hailing from the Arabian peninsula, roughly present day Saudi Arabia.
The postmodern elite is so much in a hurry towards the progression of the transnational, borderless, multicultural and multi-ethnic empire building, that they rather opt for silence and suppression of unwelcome historical events rather than deal with them, non-offensive policies being the number one on the politically correct order of the day.
Cassandra, much to my happy surprise, is also a Townhall.com contributor. She additionally has a mirror site geared towards her native Greek readers, Phanari.
