I've heard good things about Liberators but that's about the all the revolutions rather than Bolivar specifically E: also it's fiction but General in his Labyrinth is fantastic

Foreign lands are the substrate in which the American military industrial complex grows wars for profit. The people who profit off American wars essentially turned a occasional spasmodic national outpouring of violence into something that could be grown and provide wealth to enrich a tiny elite, just as much as Indian tea or Gabonese palm oil. The world is our war plantation, and it's turned out a heck of a crop over the years.

in the Doomsday Econ thread, it came up that the sheer amount of labor required to farm food was so incredibly high that it seems ludicrous for people to consider the possibility that they could revert to or become subsistence farmers, for whatever reason that they might deliberately want to pursue it in that same vein, the following are excerpts from Robert Caro's books on LBJ, describing how people in Texas hill country washed clothes before washing machines became a thing

Utterly insane that society ever settled on that level of constant physical labour being preferable to having your shirt be a little stained or wrinkled.

outside of hill country it's not that simplequote:By 1900 there were commercial laundries in all major cities and in many rural and suburban districts as well. They offered diverse services, from "wet wash" (which meant that the drying and finishing were done at home) to fully finished (usually by hand) laundry. Some of these laundries were located in poor neighborhoods and were patronized by people who had no facilities for doing laundry in their own residences. The heyday of the laundry business seems to have been the decade of the 1920s. Between 1919 and 1929, gross receipts for power laundries virtually doubled; they declined somewhat during the Depression and war years, increased again immediately after the war, and then went into a long period of decline, from which they show no signs of recovering. During the most prosperous years for the laundries, surveys undertaken by home economists demonstrated that, although few households (and only those with the highest income) "sent out" all their laundry work, very few families (and this was true even of poor ones) made no use at all of the commercial services. The items most commonly sent to commercial laundries were men's shirts and collars and "flatwork"-handkerchiefs, sheets, tablecloths, and napkins.

https://twitter.com/k_sonin/status/1641217122910240770quote:One major effort, carried out by the Soviet Union, China and North Korea during the Korean War, between 1951 and 1953, claimed the United States had released bacteria and infected insects into North Korea and China. The charges were fabricated but received wide circulation and were only proved false in 1998 by Soviet Central Committee documents published by University of Maryland scholar University of Maryland scholar Milton Leitenberg. He obtained a copy of a cable to Mao Zedong, sent after Joseph Stalin’s death, that read, “The Soviet Government and the Central Committee of the [Communist Party of the Soviet Union] were misled. The spread in the press of information about the use by the Americans of bacteriological weapons in Korea was based on false information. The accusations against the Americans were fictitious.” so i tried digging into the source and im a little confused because i cant find this specific memo but i can find a bunch of memos from random soviet guys saying this whole thing was their idea??? am i misreading something here or what

Some Guy TT posted:yeah this is why i was curious about a washington post piece just casually treating it like well established fake news but when i try to follow the bread crumbs i get led to a website thats not especially clear on where its sources came from The US govt still denies it and there's a hack named Milton Leitenberg who trots out his "secret Russian documents" that "disprove" the allegations whenever they're in the news. The documents were "found" by a right wing Japanese journalist for Sankei Shimbum, a paper that denied Imperial Japanese warcrimes, and the documents themselves are hand written copies of supposed originals, "authenticated" by a colleague of Leitenberg based on what amounts to a vibes check. Even if the documents were authentic, the context of Soviet admission of fraud is Beria trying to throw a rival under the bus for believing the Chinese/Koreans about the BW - basically a macguffin issue for Beria's power play. Leitenberg has been banging this drum since 1999 and the original documents the transcribed copies are based on have never surfaced. As Gradenko said, check out Jeffrey Kaye's work in this area. Here's a dumb post of mine about denialism surfacing on reddit: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3893410&pagenumber=1227&perpage=40&highlight=731#post530052538 Dr. Jerrold Coe has issued a correction as of 05:22 on Mar 31, 2023 |

Obviously the bats were real, and kept on ice and recovered by the Chineese so that they could spread covid later. Operation Warp Speed was able to create a vaccine so fast because they already had it in order to protect are troops if the bats spread too far. *adds another piece of string to the Unified Conspiracy Theory board* "Yes, it's all coming together"
