  • In Search of Monsters to Destroy: The Manufacturing of a Cold War by Cynthia Chung

    In Search of Monsters to Destroy: The Manufacturing of a Cold War by Cynthia Chung
    Oct 2 2024

    This Substack article argues that American Cold War nuclear strategy was not a rational response to Soviet aggression, but rather a self-fulfilling prophecy based on faulty assumptions and a distorted understanding of history. The author, Cynthia Chung, critiques the “systems analysis” approach of the RAND Corporation, a research group established after World War Two. She argues that RAND's reliance on mathematical models and “rational choice theory” led to a dangerous escalation of Cold War tensions, culminating in a near-nuclear war. The author further argues that RAND's embrace of this flawed approach was driven by a deep-seated American paranoia, fueled by the traumatic experience of Pearl Harbour, and a desire to maintain American global dominance. Ultimately, the article posits that the United States' obsession with "winning" at all costs, rather than engaging in genuine diplomacy, created a Cold War that threatened the world with nuclear annihilation.

  • Ireland 1845-1850 The Perfect Holocaust

    Ireland 1845-1850 The Perfect Holocaust
    Oct 1 2024
    The text presents a forceful argument that the Irish famine of 1845-1850 was not a natural disaster, but a deliberate and systematic genocide perpetrated by the British government. The author, Chris Fogarty, argues that the British government's policies, including the enforced removal of food from Ireland, led to mass starvation and death, with a significantly higher death toll than previously acknowledged. The text meticulously compiles historical evidence and sources, including primary sources, to support this assertion, disputing common narratives and highlighting the role of British landlords and officials in the famine. It seeks to expose the "perfect holocaust" as a crime deliberately hidden by the British government and subsequently by Irish institutions.

  • The Olive Branch by Mathew Carey

    The Olive Branch by Mathew Carey
    Sep 29 2024
    The provided text is an excerpt from "The Olive Branch," a political treatise written in 1815 by a politically-motivated author. This text delves into the political and economic tensions between the United States and Britain in the early 19th century, especially during the War of 1812. The author critiques the actions of both the American and British governments, highlighting issues like impressment, the Embargo Act, and the political divisions within the United States. He argues that the Federalists, who generally favoured Britain, misrepresented the situation to both the British and American publics, leading to an unnecessary war. Throughout the text, the author also expresses his concerns about potential unrest and even separation within the United States, driven by these political and economic tensions.
