This article rankles a few feathers. My suggestion is to keep an open mind to the possibility that history is largely smoke and mirrors. War for profit sometimes requires the creation and appearance of alternate institutions or sides.

I'm glad to read this again in a clear format, I feel like I need to read it several more times to get all the implications. Thank you for reprinting Joe's essay in its entirety. It's so dense and detailed, and turns everything we think we know on its head. It seems like it would have been impossible to summarize and do it justice.
