A "must read" - author John L. Work

I wish I could recall exactly how I recently came across the books of John L. Work. Perhaps I was browsing Amazon's Kindle offerings. In any event, I read his first book first, A Dark Obsession Times 2. It was a good mystery story, and I went right on to read his second book, Murder for Comfort. That too was a good detective story.

I tried to find an address for Work, even an e-mail address or a city of residence or the name of his publishing company, so that I could send a message to him. After reading his third book, I understand why he doesn't publish it.

His third book, A Summons to Perdition, should be required reading for every American. Perhaps every person around the world. Every non-Muslim person, that is. If you wonder why you should study and understand Islam, read this book. Then get busy and do your own research.

Let's just say that John Work is not a fan of Islam. Each chapter starts with a quote from the Quran or The Legacy of Jihad (by Andrew G. Bostom) or another source.

When I read his first book, he mentioned a book (Games Criiminals Play, by Allen & Bosta), and I assumed, initially, that, since Work's book was fiction (although based somewhat on a real case in which he had been involved as a police officer), then the book mentioned within the book was not a real book. Searching Amazon.com revealed that it was, indeed, a real book, as is The Legacy of Jihad.

What is your understanding of the "religion of peace"? Is it a religion of peace? Or is it not? If it's not, we'd better wake up fast and start paying attention - and taking action.

In A Summons to Perdition, published in 2011, Work wrote in Chapter 53, "The President of the United States spoke from a mosque in Egypt about the great contributions of Islam to the history and culture of the United States while jihadis (sic) blew up his own American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq." Should scrutiny of President Obama and his religion intensify?

Bashing Obama Big-time

A letter to the editor of the Northwest Herald this morning suggested that concerned citizens read a new book that was published six months ago, titled Culture of Corruption.

The full title is Culture of Corruption - Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies. The author is Michelle Malkin, and the book was published 7/27/09.

"From the Inside Flap

"The era of hope and change is dead....and it only took six months in office to kill it.
Never has an administration taken office with more inflated expectations of turning Washington around. Never have a media-anointed American Idol and his entourage fallen so fast and hard. In her latest investigative tour de force, New York Times bestselling author Michelle Malkin delivers a powerful, damning, and comprehensive indictment of the culture of corruption that surrounds Team Obama's brazen tax evaders, Wall Street cronies, petty crooks, slum lords, and business-as-usual influence peddlers. In Culture of Corruption, Malkin reveals:

"* Why nepotism beneficiaries First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are Team Obama's biggest liberal hypocrites--bashing the corporate world and influence-peddling industries from which they and their relatives have benefited mightily
"* What secrets the ethics-deficient members of Obama's cabinet--including Hillary Clinton--are trying to hide
"* Why the Obama White House has more power-hungry, unaccountable "czars" than any other administration
"* How Team Obama's first one hundred days of appointments became a litany of embarrassments as would-be appointee after would-be appointee was exposed as a tax cheat or had to withdraw for other reasons
"* How Obama's old ACORN and union cronies have squandered millions of taxpayer dollars and dues money to enrich themselves and expand their power
"* How Obama's Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists are ruining the economy and helping their friendsIn Culture of Corruption, Michelle Malkin lays bare the Obama administration's seamy underside that the liberal media would rather keep hidden."

So, could all that be true? Could any of it be true?

The Woodstock Public Library and the Northern Illinois Library System don't carry this book (yet).

Colin Powell Endorses Obama

On Meet the Press this morning, Gen. Colin Powell (Ret.) has endorsed Barack Obama.

I have not been a regular viewer of Meet the Press, only because I seldom turn on my television. It was good to watch Gen. Powell and Tom Brokaw this morning. Gen. Powell is articulate, smart, thoughtful, and he presented his reasoning well. I commend the interview to all.

Meet the Press will be re-broadcast today (October 19) at 5:00PM CDT. In Chicago on Channel 5.
