Right off the bat he is basically saying that everything we've ever learned about the Spartans is falso, they were weak and cowardly etc. He makes some off handed remark that the movie 300 is responsible for their reputation (I knew all about this a good 20 years before the movie) so I decided to skip to the bottom to see who the author was. Myke Cole. Funny spelling. Thought I would take a look at ye olde Early Life.

It never fucking fails... I'll save you the trouble of checking his Wiki.

Early life
Cole is of Jewish heritage and grew up outside New York City where his father was a professor at New York City College.

Pretty amazing story.

Still, 80 years after the fact, the zionist commies of Stalin who murdered millions of Christians and were behind these Polish massacres are getting off scot free.

Blame the Nazi's!

It's always Blame the Nazi's!

My dad subscribed to the Smithsonian. He did not see the woke I did in that magazine....I never could convince him of any greater truths before he left this world in 2019.

I've gladly used the remaining issues I got from the estate as target practice. Very satisfying shooting leftist magazines.
