It’s been a couple hours since D’Souza tagged me in a tweet about the Smollet hoax. Can someone check on him?
(Puts finger to earpiece)

I’m being told no one cares.
Ah, now I see what’s happened.

It’s not that he’s no longer obsessed with me. It’s that he’s stopped tagging me in, in hopes I won’t reply.

Yes, yes, I’m the fake historian. OK, sure.

The Berkeley Free Speech Movement involved students from a range of political ideologies, including the campus chapter of Youth for Goldwater.
Here's a great PBS documentary called "Berkeley in the Sixties."

At 21:20, there's an archival interview with Art Goldberg, who helped lead the FSM, stressing the ideological diversity of the Free Speech Movement.

Transcript below, but watch here: vimeo.com/214846601
The involvement of conservative student organizations in the campus-wide free speech movement -- which pitted all students against the administration -- was widely reported.

Here's a news account from the Guardian (UK):

No, the historical narrative I've advanced -- one that's been pretty standard in the profession for fifty years -- is grounded in empirical facts.

You should really try that yourself sometime.
Here's a thread with lots of empirical facts, @DineshDSouza, including the fact that you made up a fake "Senator William Murray" and the fact that the only scholar you've invoked as supporting your work ran a segregtionist-funded eugenics institute.
And another fact here is that -- instead of responding to those empirical facts laid out in those threads, instead of meeting my evidence with actual evidence of your own as a legitimate scholar would -- you're desperately trying to change the subject to the Smollett hoax.

One thing I left out in this thread -- the Agnew speech that inspired anti-Semites was written by none other than Pat Buchanan.
The Nixon-Agnew message was largely shaped by two very different speechwriters -- the erudite William Safire and the hard-edged Pat Buchanan.

As he noted in his memoir Before the Fall, Safire crafted some memorable lines for Agnew, including the famous alliterative phrases:
But that Des Moines speech -- the one that anti-Semites responded to -- wasn't written by Safire (who was himself Jewish) but by Buchanan.

As Safire recalled, Buchanan bore most of the responsibility for it and excitedly noted that the confrontational tone "flicked the scab off"

One thing that leaps out at me from this amazing, fascinating thread: How much of the chatter about the people of North Sentinel Island has assumed that the community has no history.
The assumption that neolithic peoples live outside of time and history is incredibly widespread. "Incredibly," because a moment's thought will make clear that the assumption is false, must be false.
What @RespectableLaw has written in this thread is the halting, fragmentary start to a history of the Sentinelese people over the last 150 years.

So, after a period of being relatively reticent with interviews except for like call-ins to his friends at the state media (which they would inevitably try to end before he was done talking, as they realized he was saying something damaging), Trump has been doing the media rounds
Here today I'm going to be talking about a couple of recent ones, a televised interview with Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes and one with the Associated Press that went up yesterday.
If you'd like to support this kind of work, I do appreciate tips. I'll keep on keeping on as long as it's feasible for me to do so. paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr…

A looooooong thread on imperialism in the Korean Peninsula, the division between north and south, and the situations in both regions before, during and after the founding of the countries which now represent each half.
First, a pop quiz. Do you know the name of the last government that had sovereignty over the entire Korean Peninsula? You get one clue: it isn’t the Empire of Japan.
The answer to that question will come later. For now, let’s take a look at the situation in Korea under Japanese occupation, officially the period from 1910 to 1945 — though Japan had meddled in Korean affairs long before annexation.
