By Selwyn Duke The Love Boat it ain’t. It’s not enjoying the high ratings that old show once did, either — at least not in the Muslim countries rejecting it.

Ironically, though, the very people who accuse him of such are now trying to wipe out “Indians.” They also want to eradicate “Apaches,” “Braves,” “Chiefs,” “Chieftains,” “Chippewa,” and “Comanches.” That is, social engineers want to partially erase Indians’ memory by…

By Selwyn Duke The Soviets tried creating ape-human hybrids and embraced Lysenkoism, which held that acquired traits could be inherited. Nazi academics, such as Philipp Lenard, promoted the idea that science itself had racial character. Looking back on such pseudo-science, we now just shake our heads. Yet those who shake their fists at the heavens…
