About

American history has a habit of tidying itself up. This site is about the parts that get left out of the tidying — the crimes, the cover-ups, and what they reveal about how the country actually worked.

This is independent research writing, not credentialed scholarship. The standard here is transparency: claims are sourced, sources are linked, and you're invited to check them. Where the record is contested, that gets said rather than smoothed over.

Corrections are genuinely welcome and are made in public.
