I just finished reading Operation Paperclip by Annie Jacobsen following her recent appearance at Lex Fridman's podcast and I swallowed this book in 2 to 3 days. Absolutely insane how well this was written and how informative it was.
I'll definitely read her other works next.

>woah giving employment to nazis means america is nazi even tho whites makes up for 50% of the population and having their women fricked by BBC
>Lex Fridman
.
Reading about the chemical/biological weapon experiments that America continued to do in hypocrisy doesn't make them innocent.
I always find it funny how much of an effort is made to demonize the US vis a vis WW2 by... Certain people.
Meanwhile the soviets had the fricking Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with the nazis, lmao.
>lex fridman
whoa... he doesnt like it when people say bad things about him... completely unrelatable
Well, I didn't say that I watched the Lex Fridman podcast for the Lex-perience. He has amazing guests though. His questions and comments can be treated as white noise since his guests are usually well spoken enough themselves to make for 3 hour long spiritual experiences.
I saw her on JRE, why should one read this if they already know the gist?
JRE and Lex are just a canvas to host guests on. I don't give a damn about the host, as long as they are nice and let the guest talk most of the time. When people attack the host, it is safe to ignore those people because they are missing the point.
For non-americans it is not common knowledge.
>For non-americans it is not common knowledge
Then I guess maybe I know it because I'm German
Or actually I think my whole perception on what is and isn't common knowledge in regards to history is all sorts of fricked, just because I've had an interest in the topic since childhood
The young German people I've talked about it with don't know, heh. They were actually surprised. I have a feeling history is distorted and also boring from the de schoolsystem.
I watched the Jack Parsons show, Strange Angel. It's wildcats, very interesting. I have the book waiting to be read. Hubbard knew Parsons I think, yea, Crowley is a mess to look into, gave up there. Scientology I know about through all the docus and videotubes.
Lmao you would watch lex and jre lol get the frick outta here
I'm Norwegian and I'd say it's common knowledge for anyone with a small interest in history. Entry level fact.
If you want cooler facts about rockets, look into Jack Parsons, Crowley and Scientology
>For non-americans it is not common knowledge.
Sounds like a skill issue

That guy did a lot of work, wow. What am I supposed to do with this information?
On that topic, why do conspiracy theorists act like finding out bout Operation Paperclip is some big gotcha redpill?
I thought it was common knowledge and I'm not even American
Americans are some of the biggest dupes in the world when it comes to knowing about how power works in their own country and the world in general (speaking as an American).
>On that topic, why do conspiracy theorists act like finding out bout Operation Paperclip is some big gotcha redpill?
There were already articles in mainstream newspapers about America scooping up top Nazi scientists as it started and it was controversial, when the cold war started it just became something that dropped off from being discussed for a long while for rather obvious reasons.
By "conspiracy" you could mean different things. You have schizoids like Ernst Zündel claiming Nazi scientists invented UFOs, from that angle you get the deranged conspiracies about US cover up of and development of secret weapon systems, underground bases, ec, etc and like all tinfoil shit it ties into UFO phenomena and ayyliums in some way
You still aren't supposed to be able to get citizenship if you were a member of the Nazi party, see Form I-485 FYI. That's the more mainstream "conspiracy" involved, government secretly breaking laws to achieve objectives
The cover up for Japan and protection of war criminals there is much worse.
>government secretly breaking laws to achieve objectives
Always funny to see normies think that the people who possess the power to make the rules wouldn't use the same power to ignore their rules when convenient. You either make the law, or you are subject to the law, those two groups don't intersect at all and it is unrealistic to expect them to do so.
>By "conspiracy" you could mean different things
Off the top of my head the first thing that comes to mind is people who claim the moon landing was fake and somehow tie together with Werber being a Nazi and by extension the entirety of NASA being evil or something
Always funny to see muritards seethe when someone points how their country is hypocritical and evil.
>it's hypocritical and evil to take useful people from a defeated regime even though every nation does that because...
what was actually hypocritical and evil was getting involved in the world wars when most americans didn't want that.
*and claiming to 'fight for democracy' while doing so.
to be fair, I don't care either way. being a nice guy gets you nowhere and everyone generally speaking is a hypocrite in one way or another.
I've read her book Surprise, Kill, Vanish which is great but I have not read this. I should give it a read I guess. Can anyone tell me if it's /x/tier though?

Hiring the Nazi scientists was the optimal decision for the survival of the American state.
