  • Who is Peter Thiel? by James Corbett

    Who is Peter Thiel? by James Corbett
    Nov 10 2024
    Deep dive into a 3-article series on Peter Thiel from the Corbett Report, a website that critiques global events and figures. The articles detail the life and career of Peter Thiel, a prominent Silicon Valley investor, entrepreneur, and political donor. The articles explore Thiel's rise to prominence through his founding of companies like PayPal and Palantir Technologies, his illegal acquisition of New Zealand citizenship, his political influence, and his support for life-extension technologies. The author argues that Thiel's claimed libertarianism is a façade, and that he is a member of the globalist deep state who leverages his power and wealth to further his own interests.

  • The Smithsonian’s new American Science: From Darwinian-based Aryanism to Modern Anthropology

    The Smithsonian’s new American Science: From Darwinian-based Aryanism to Modern Anthropology
    Oct 8 2024
    The article argues that the foundation of modern anthropology, particularly as developed in the United States, was heavily influenced by racist ideologies and served to justify colonialism and genocide. It traces the roots of these ideas back to the 19th century, focusing on the work of individuals like Albert Gallatin, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, and Lewis Henry Morgan, who are accused of fabricating a "science" of human evolution to support the notion of racial hierarchy. The article further alleges that the Smithsonian Institution, through its Bureau of American Ethnology (BAE), played a significant role in promoting this flawed understanding of human development, which ultimately led to the suppression of evidence challenging their theories.

  • 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.
