Richard Earley, a retired military officer, is a keen observer, an astute researcher, a purposeful, sometimes stinging writer, and an able historiographer; he is also a philosopher. Earley's conclusions, based on prodigious research, are frank assessments of America, its peoples and its past, with clearly posted advisories for future heavy weather. Earley, provides 38 pages of notes supporting his positions and documenting historical references, all from good, solid sources, which he has skillfully assembled, organized and analyzed.
The author pokes holes in gasbags, kicks some butt, and deflowers some heretofore virgin territory, as he tugs, drags, and then pushes the reader--perhaps kicking and screaming--into the revealing glare of truth. He probes such subjects as: Jews, their war records through history, and their penchant for censorship and control; Blacks, their crimes against Whitey, and upper-class WASPs, who cowered in Harvard and Yale during America's battles. The media, SAT scores, entertainment, religion, Ivy League schools, and Academe in general, are all bathed in Richard Earley's cleansing truth.
What a delight it is to follow the author, as he plows into one after another of the wealthy, the famous or infamous, and the foolish in America's past, and in its present.
The book is organized into 19 chapters beginning with "Pearl Harbor and Before," running through "The War in Vietnam," and concluding with "Religion and Morality in American Life." These chapters are further divided up under various rubrics such as:
· Harvard at War
· Yale at War
· Aid to Israel
· Sense of Being Jewish
· Draft Evaders and Other Tough Guys
· Booker T. Washington
· Blacks and Crime
There is very little praise, pussyfooting, or reason to celebrate anywhere in this book, but Earley's research and documentation sustain his conclusions, and the truth of his message is almost palpable.
Richard Earley is an iconoclast of sorts, and he did not set out to write a paean to folk heroes -- except that the men who fought and died in the Vietnam War hold a special place in his heart. This becomes clear upon reading the dedication of the book:
Dedicated to the American dead of the Vietnam War.
Their country and countrymen were unworthy of them.
In Earley's view, the Jews are the most egregious transgressors, and he points out many reasons why other Americans have reason to question Jewish motives and behavior. Simply being Jewish in America has served to deflect criticism, for no matter how damning the evidence against a Jew, it is ignored by American's cultural elite. In addition, being a Jew in America has allowed many to ignore, even flout, standards of conduct, which others are obliged to meet.
Earley points out that after the death of leftist journalist I. F. Stone, it was revealed that Stone was an agent of the Soviet KGB. In spite of the damning evidence, America's media and cultural arbiters ridiculed and vilified the man who brought this startling news to the attention of the general public: the very people who may have been harmed by the traitor. The elite preferred to ignore the traitorous behavior of I. F. Stone.
Despite being found guilty by an American court, the guilt of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg has long been denied by their adherents. Their children can always rely on having letters published [in the "New York Times", and elsewhere] denying the truth of their parents having been Soviet spies. Thus, Earley shows how legitimate, well-earned criticism of Jews is "deflected" by their media sycophants.
One example of a different "standard of conduct" for Jews involves a leading opinion maker, Richard Cohen, of the Washington Post. Cohen admitted that he does not support the principle of "proportional military response" where Israel is concerned, because Israel as a small country can not afford a war of attrition....However, the United States, Cohen thinks, is a populous and large country, which should adjust its military response, so that factors other than deterrence are considered. Apparently, on Richard Cohen's scales, the lives of Americans do not carry the same weight as the lives of his fellow Jews.
The author believes that, historically, Jewish citizens and residents of America, have not only failed to serve America, but they seem bent on its destruction, for the benefit of Israel.
Richard Earley's efforts in creating this book certainly establish him as a scholar. He frequently quotes, or discusses, such luminaries as: T. S. Eliot, Edgar Lee Masters, Rudyard Kipling, H. L. Mencken, Pat Buchanan, Ezra Pound, George Santayana, George Bernard Shaw, and others.
Mr. Earley, himself, is not to be taken lightly when it comes to insightful, quotable observations and comments. Consider these remarks:
§ Academia in America has long been notorious for its self-righteous declarations of concern and probity, while it has long been short on courage.
§ The WASP hierarchy escaped the travails of the Civil War. They cowered in the campuses of Harvard and Yale.
§ The drift from Euro-centric America to multiculturalism will not bring peace or happiness to the dominant Caucasians. They will react in increasingly violent ways.
§ Mr. [William] Buckley has never understood the difference between an aristocracy that honors its obligations, most especially when its country is at war, and a plutocracy that feels money entitles its citizens to buy themselves out of danger and duty.
§ "Rolling Stone" magazine is written for virtual illiterates, and it is published by a Jewish draft evader, who left his wife and kids to move in with a man.
"War, Money and American Memory" is a remarkable work! You will be impressed with its content; and, you will be impressed with the author's diligence. It is a beacon of truth in a sea of misdirection and deceit. The nation would be well served, if this book were used as a text in every venue where American history is taught.
