And even though their plan didn t exactly work as intended, it was effective enough to lead to a distrust of healthcare workers working to administer polio vaccines, per As The Poynter Institute tells it, the situation was first reported by Saeed Shah, a Pakistani journalist, who claimed that the CIA and the State Department tried to stop him from publishing the story.

The Tragic History Of Black January By Marina Manoukian/Jan. 27, 2021 12:06 pm EDT/Updated: Jan. 27, 2021 12:09 pm EDT January 1990 was a dark month for the Soviet Caucasus.

The Untold Truth Of The Pinkerton National Detective Agency By Marina Manoukian/Jan. 20, 2021 11:27 pm EDT For over 75 years, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency terrorized workers who were trying to organize in the United States. Although they re often lauded for their diverse hiring practices, more often than not these practices were carried out for the purposes of class warfare. A Pinkerton agent was responsible for testifying at the sham trial after the bombing of Haymarket Square, but despite the fact that the Illinois governor called the Pinkertons unreliable narrators and pardoned the living Haymarket anarchists, their reputation held strong. And in 1914, the Pinkertons were also part of the Ludlow Massacre, where 66 people died after Pinkertons and the Colorado National Guard set fire to a miners camp. ....
The Strangest Student Protests In History Justin Sullivan/Getty Images By Marina Manoukian/Jan. 21, 2021 5:05 pm EDT As long as there have been students, there have been student protests, but the reasons that students protest are as varied as students themselves. Sometimes they protest for more rights for everyone, sometimes they protest for fewer rights for some. Almost every country from New Zealand, as Reuters reported, to the United States of America (per Time) has witnessed their students protesting. And few protests can be described as ineffective. Even if the effects are gradual, student protests often find themselves changing the world more than they may realize at the time. ....
The True Story Behind Tokyo Rose Donaldson Collection/Getty Images By Marina Manoukian/Jan. 21, 2021 11:08 am EDT During World War II, Tokyo Rose was infamous among American GIs for seductively predicting their downfall, whether it was due to infidelity, sterility, or in battle.
