What in the PragerBS is this? A desperate PBS resorting to using a clickbait title to appease historically illiterate overlords while propagating the myth of white enslavement. The Barbary affairs were not in any shape or form comparable to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. #skystorians
Clickbait title from PBS to push the white slavery myth.PBS purposely conflating the capture of American sailors with enslavement.

Friends, is this a scam? My intuition says yes, but I’d like to know for sure. The email is clearly full of AI text—no layperson could summarize my niche book otherwise. Anyway, I’m all for promoting my book, but I’m not about to get involved in a scam. #skystorians

Finally paid my respects to the grave of LtC. Robert E. Whitbeck. If you’ve read my book, you’ll recall he gave his life defending his command, the U.S. Army artillery and radar site at Tuy Hòa North Airfield on 30 January 1968. I also visited the grave of Lansdale, whose papers shaped my work.
