Understanding whose dialog to trust can be confusing with so many competing voices. Do you sense that something is amiss? Many are happy to blindly follow popular narratives while political and corporate entities spin stories that favor advantages for themselves. Facts are consistently distorted and blurred, and many allow themselves to be shamed and gaslighted away from rational judgment and critical thinking. However, if you trust your judgment and seek resources to sort through information for yourself, you also have the confidence and critical thinking skills to judge for yourself. Many are standing up to those who would intimidate you in this area. You think for yourself! If you question motives and diligently seek to sort out reality from the emotional hype, you will enjoy Lured Down the Garden Path. Steele starts by writing about a young man who grew into adulthood with opinions adopted from the popular dialog of the 1970s. However, after observing significant events that contradicted what he had heard, David learned to see with a critical eye, and his views changed sharply. Eventually, he lost trust in many public information sources. Steele follows this story by addressing the motives behind the misinformation and where they began. Finally, he presents factual observations from credible first-hand sources that counter the lies. You will become armed with source information supporting and confirming what you know. "The human mind is powerful; I'll be using my own thank you." David Halcomb Sherwood Steele is a historian who has researched historical sources and presented factual observations that counter many of today's public deceptions.
