“Historically challenged”
(Per Darryl Eberhart, Editor of ETI & TTT): “‘Historically challenged’
is an adjectival phrase that I use for describing those individuals and nations
that are ‘handicapped’ (i.e., at a disadvantage) due to their lack of
knowledge of true history.”
For most of my life I had been “historically challenged” – despite the fact that I had been in the “college prep” section of my high school class, and had taken several college-level American history courses. Only after spending the last dozen years reading books about true history – many of which are outside of mainstream publishing – did I finally break my “chains” of ignorance of true history! Here are some of the books that helped me to break those “chains” of historical ignorance: “Vicars of Christ: The Dark Side of the Papacy” by Peter De Rosa; “Vatican Assassins” by Eric Jon Phelps; “The Transformation of the Republic” by C.T. Wilcox; “The Secret History of the Jesuits” by Edmond Paris; “The Jesuits in History” by Hector Macpherson; “Rome’s Responsibility for the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln” by Thomas M. Harris; “The Suppressed Truth about the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln” by Burke McCarty; “The Vatican’s Holocaust” by Avro Manhattan; “The Pilgrim Church” by E.H. Broadbent; “History of the Waldenses” by J.A. Wylie; “Truth Triumphant” by B.G. Wilkinson; “The Torch of the Testimony” by John W. Kennedy; “The Grand Design Exposed” by John Daniel; and “The Secret Terrorists” and “The Enemy Unmasked” by Bill Hughes. (I suggest that you do a “google-style” search on the Internet for these books, and that you purchase as many of them as you possibly can – read them – and then share them with others!)
Many Americans do not know that a lot of “true history” – true American history, true European history, and true “Church” history – has been “stolen” from us. It was stolen through the threat of Roman Catholic boycott. Those who tried to tell the truth – whether in history textbooks, encyclopedias, or newspapers – about the bloody history of Papal Rome and her Jesuit Order, their fomenting of wars and revolutions, and their subversion of nations were threatened with boycott by Roman Catholics unless they removed all items “offensive” and “insulting” to Papal Rome!
God willing, I will be writing a series of one-page handouts on “True History”. I hope that this series will provide readers with some important historical facts that are generally “missing” from most American history textbooks and encyclopedias. Sometimes I will also recommend some additional resources (e.g., books, DVDs, etc.) for more in-depth study on a particular topic. It is my hope that many individuals will copy these one-page handouts, and then pass them on to others.
