Here is that comment in its entirety and without change from the site:
“A poorly self aggrandizing working of ficition. November 8, 2012
By Robert M. Stanford
Format: Hardcover
I should prefix this by saying that I know the author of this book. To start regardless of how this book this being marketed by the author, it is a piece of fiction, the author never served in the military in capacity. Where to start with this review, the book is very poorly written and the author clearly did not do much in the way of historical research on military tactics in general or the Vietnam war in particular. The book reads much like a bad war movie mixed with some kind of cheesy martial arts film, the battle scenes are ridiculously unrealistic. Including laughably bad claims like how the author was trained in hand to hand combat techniques where he would be able to kill some one with one punch in less than one second, he selected for the group because he was genius with Forest Gump like running ability, doing three hours of weight training for 6 straight days a week for months, claims of gun with finger printer readers that only let the owner fire them, ect. Save yourself some money and avoid this book”
Robert does indeed know me. However, it goes a little deeper. Robert is my nephew—the first born of my younger sister. She is four years younger than I am. I was working for a living teaching school when she graduated from Illinois State University. She didn’t meet her future husband until she was working as a teacher. Therefore, Robert wasn’t even born during the time period of most of the book. Robert also never served in the military. Neither did his father or mother.
I do state that I have a tested I.Q. of 130 or above. Both of my children have tested I.Q.s of 130 or above. Does that prove that I do? Of course not. Therefore, before I wrote the book, I went to the public school district that I attended from first grade through high school. I asked for and received a copy of my school records including the results of an I.Q. test. I have written proof that I have a tested I.Q. of 130 or above. If I didn’t, I would not have put it in the book. However, I never said, anywhere in the book, that I am a genius.
As far as his statement that “the book is very poorly written.” That is, at best, an opinion. Read again what he wrote. How well written are his comments? I was a high school American government/economics teacher for ten years. Having been a teacher, I am use to negative comments from students. Most of those comments were from people who did not do well in my class. I expected the students to earn their grade through work and meeting my standards. If they did not, they suffered the consequences. Most did not like the consequences.
If you read the dedication page, I paid an English teacher to edit the work. We did each of the six chapters the same way. At the time, I lived in Tucson and she lived in Arkansas where she taught high school English. I mailed a chapter to her, she ripped it to shreds. I corrected and rewrote the chapter based upon her suggestions and sent the rewritten chapter back to her. She found more items to criticize and gave more suggested corrections. I corrected a second time and sent them back once again. She approved the chapter and mailed it back. When Robert states that “the book is very poorly written,” he criticizes her. I do not believe those criticisms are justified.
Concerning the publication of the book itself, I did not want to go through a regular publishing house because I did not want the book to be edited by the publisher. Since I did not know how to publish a book, I hired a publishing company to do the actual printing of the book and the creation of the front and back book covers. When the company rejected my print copy because the margins were wrong several times including after I went to a Peoria printer to have the margins done correctly by a professional, I wrote the CEO of the company saying I was cancelling the contract because the company was not fulfilling its obligation to print the book. Without my knowledge, the book was printed and offered to the public including on Amazon in paperback and hardcover editions. My guess is that a company lawyer told the CEO that he had better fulfill the contract. I did not know the book was in distribution until I received a royalty check from the company. The copyright date on this published version of the book is 2007.
In the mean time, after borrowing money from my mother, I went to the Peoria printer and paid that company to print my book under my Arizona established publishing company. I had established the company in Arizona before moving back to Illinois in 2004. I never planned to live in Illinois—the land of Barack Hussein Obama—permanently. Until this book was published, I had not actually published anything through the company. My book through my publishing company was published in 2008.
Here is a strange occurrence. Robert’s mother—my younger sister—purchased four books in 2008. There are four people in her family—mother, father, brother, sister. I would have thought that Robert would have first read the book in 2008. He certainly did not have to purchase it from Amazon.
It was family squabble time. In 2004, I moved back to Illinois to care for my mother after my father had died. My two sisters and I had a verbal agreement that I would stay in Illinois until mom dies, caring for her in her home. She would not be put into a nursing home. After a series of minor strokes over a period of about a year, my sisters broke the agreement and put her in a home. Conflict resulted over my staying or leaving the house and the State. Discussion was done by e-mail. I stated in one e-mail that I was going to write more Black Sword books—five in total—and the next one would include the current dispute.
In early January of 2012, I received an eviction notice. The process continued through the year until a court date was set for November 30, 2012. (I believe that is the correct date. I did not bother to check to make sure.) On October 15, 2012, my oldest sister died after a brief illness. On November 8, 2012, Robert posted his criticism of the book. Coincidence? On November 30, 2012, I was court ordered to leave the house by midnight on December 31, 2012. On December 31, 2012, I moved out of the house.
If Robert meant to hurt sales of the book, I hope he did. I want the other company to stop selling my book. And the company did send me notice that I am being dropped. Good! I had told them not to publish.
If you read this blog regularly, you may know that I actually write five blogs, six days a week. Not on Sunday.

http://christiangunslinger5.blogspot.com—pro-traditional family
http://christiangunslinger7.blogspot.com—politically conservative concentrating on the primaries and the upcoming general election
By the very nature of my blogs, I expect the radical Left, pro-abortion/unborn baby MURDERERS, and pro-homosexual behavior advocates to attack my e-book as well as anything else I wrote and publish. Robert may be the first but I do not expect him to be the last.
The e-book costs only $3.00. The only cheaper price is $2.99 and I do not price my books that way. Everyone should know that $2.99 is actually $3.00. What a sad marketing ploy! Spend the $3.00 to determine whether or not Robert is correct. If a member of Amazon prime, the book is a free selection. You just might be pleasantly surprised. I have received very positive comments from readers including people who have actually been in the military unlike Robert and a student at the United States Naval Academy located in Annapolis, Maryland who is the grandson of a friend.
And finally, I would like nothing better than being reconciled with my sister and the rest of my earthly family. The theme of the second book is family. Planned publication date 2015. The theme of the third book is politics with the planned publication date being 2017. The fourth about education in 2019. And the last and final book in the series, on the church of JESUS, the CHRIST in 2021.

“Transex Dystopia in CT: Young Men Pretending to Be Girls Can Be Dangerous!
by Mark Horne
May 17, 2014
Yesterday I heard this NPR report and it upset and disgusted me. The headline was interesting: ‘When States Can’t Control Violent Youth, Is Prison The Answer?’
More than 4,000 children are in the custody of Connecticut’s Department of Children and Families. But it’s one girl, known as Jane Doe, who has galvanized advocates for juvenile justice reform and LGBT youth.
Last month, a Connecticut judge approved a rare request from the state’s child welfare agency: to move the 16-year-old transgender girl to an adult women’s prison (Why isn’t he in a male facility? He is a male!—my addition). She has not been charged with any crimes, but the state says she’s too violent for a juvenile facility. Advocacy groups nationwide have criticized the move, saying prison is not the right place for a teen with a history of trauma (Trauma that he caused?—my addition).
So, at first you think this is about ‘one girl.’ Then, in the second paragraph, they let you know that—No—this is a boy who claims to be a girl. It is now taken as the inalienable right of any boy to be regarded and treated as female if he ‘feels’ female (Only by people who are extremely gullible or seeking to push political correctness to the extremes!—my addition).
Throughout the entire report everyone uses female pronouns only (Of course! We must be politically correct over anatomically correct! NOT! The folly in this nation is remarkable!—my addition).
Joette Katz, commissioner of the Department of Children and Families, has been the target of recent protests but is standing by her decision to move Jane Doe into the adult facility.
‘She engaged in some of her typical—I hate to say typical—but some behaviors. Assaulting youth, grabbing hair, punching,’ Katz says. ‘But the one that really was the final straw, frankly, was the one that occurred at the end of January.’
That’s when Jane Doe fought and injured a staff member at a Massachusetts facility for girls. The staff member didn’t press charges, but the program sent Jane Doe back to Connecticut. Katz says it was just one of more than a dozen assaults on staff and youth by the teen, and that it proves she’s too dangerous for any DCF facility (And he is not being charged? Why in the world not? When you consistently allow someone to get away with bad behavior, what happens? MORE BAD BEHAVIOR! Any teacher knows that to be true! Any parent knows that to be true!—my addition).
I heard this on the radio and, between the name, ‘Jane,’ and the feminine pronouns, didn’t immediately grasp the obvious.
What kind of people would you tend to want to use to run a state facility for girls?
Answer, you would probably want mostly female staff. It would let the girls feel more comfortable and it would also help you eliminate worrying about sexual predators.
The girl has a long history of being sexually and physically abused. She has been in multiple residential programs since she was 9, and some of the abuse allegedly happened while she was in DCF care. Experts say this kind of trauma can make children violent.
‘The kind of abuse that she was apparently subjected to, or even witnessed, has a significant impact on the way these youth respond,’ says John Tuell, executive director of the RFK National Resource Center for Juvenile Justice. (Coddling bad behavior is NOT going to end the bad behavior!—my addition)
But that is all fiction. The reality is that this is a sixteen-year-old male with the testosterone, the muscles, to back up the rage he feels. And he has found a way to get put in facilities with people he is able to hurt much more easily than what he would find in a boys’ facility (Exactly! And his bad behavior is being positively reinforced!—my addition). Yeah, like it or not there is a reason why women have been called ‘the weaker sex.’ But don’t let reality interfere with your transsexual fantasy.
Here’s the kicker. Taking a page out of 1984 fictional reporting, this boy’s story has, until recently, been told without any admission that he was male. (Another point of interest: she seems to have blinded a worker, and has also broken her jaw (And he is NOT in a male prison? If you or I committed such crimes against a government employee, what would happen to us?—my addition). NPR (National Public Radio—my addition) leaves this detail out and merely tells us, ‘She has not been charged with any crimes,’ and ‘Jane Doe fought and injured a staff member at a Massachusetts facility for girls. The staff member didn’t press charges …’ This left me with a very different feeling than when I read that the worker was left ‘blind and with a broken jaw [As it should! Which was why it was not reported! He would be shown in a poor light!—my addition].’)
It seems it was not until last month that it was finally admitted that this abused and abusive ‘girl’ was really a violent teen male. As one feminist blogger wrote:
It turns out that Jill, the ultra-violent girl cited in testimony by DCF Commissioner Joette Katz in February 14th hearings regarding the need for a Connecticut facility for ultra-violent female juveniles is in fact a male transgender.
The 16 year old ‘girl’ and ‘female’ cited in multiple reports as an alleged serial violent batterer of women and girls across several foster care placements was revealed to be a male ‘transgender teen’ yesterday when gay activist groups revealed he has since been remanded to an adult prison facility for evaluation and placement by the state.
In most recent charges, the male teen has been charged with biting a woman on the top of her head, kicking her repeatedly in the head arms and face, punching, assaulting, blinding a female caseworker, and breaking her jaw.
The young man has now been sent for evaluation to an adult (female!) prison for evaluation without charge, an extraordinary occurrence. (Send him to a male prison! Then, try him for his past crimes! He is a male waging his own personal War on Women! There are none so blind as those who WILL NOT see!—my addition)
Don’t let one aspect of the perversity (amid all the rest!) escape your notice. DCF Commissioner Joette Katz posed a male teen as a ‘girl’ and used him as evidence for the need for a facility for ‘violent girls.’ In any community that was not insane this would be regarded as perjury. It was a libel against the young women, using the crimes of a young man to prepare a juvenile jail for them.
This story raises another point. No matter how badly this young man was abused, the fact is that he has, among ‘more than a dozen’ of other assaults, permanently disfigured and disabled someone, reveals the behavior of a dangerous psychotic. He needs to be prosecuted for his serious crimes (Yes, he does!—my addition). Otherwise it is quite likely that releasing him into the population when he turns 18 is going to get others hurt or killed (or himself! Leftists!?—my addition).
How many eyeballs have to be sacrificed to transgender fantasy (Another instance of collateral damage to the Left!—my addition)?”
Another example of the Left’s War on Women!
