This one’s such a doozy I hardly know what to tell you.
I trust you are familiar with Max Boot of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Max is like Bill Kristol: there isn’t a U.S. war in recent decades he hasn’t supported (oh, sure, 20 years later he’ll solemnly inform us that mistakes were made, but that’s about it).
In supporting the Iraq war, for example, Boot cited the US occupation of the Philippines and the gruesome guerrilla war that claimed 200,000 Filipino civilians as evidence that eventually Americans prevail against guerrillas.
Boot reviewed my Politically Incorrect Guide to American History and in every area of controversy took the establishment side. Pat Buchanan told me at the time that Boot had swallowed whole the version of American history that the old National Review had rejected.
I warned people at the time that this guy was no conservative (he eventually started voting Democrat). You’re welcome, everyone.
In fact, Boot accused me of sympathizing with a foreign regime because I wasn’t a fan of Woodrow Wilson’s foreign policy — and of course he has repeatedly accused Donald Trump of being a foreign agent.
Well, here’s the latest, which has been all over the news: we’ve just found out that Boot’s wife had been a foreign agent for South Korea for over 10 years in exchange for expensive clothing, handbags and meals.
In fact, just eight weeks ago Boot and and his wife wrote a joint op-ed for the Washington Post arguing that one reason not to vote for Donald Trump was that he wouldn’t spend enough on South Korea.
You can’t make up stories like this.
Meanwhile, if you’re curious about what American history looks like when it’s not told by leftists or neocons, and you’d like to see what angers a lackey of the establishment, at Liberty Classroom we teach that and many other subjects that the bad guys distort and lie about — and, as a special bonus, none of us is a secret agent:
