Liberation Theology The Cold War​

Sep 6, 2025 #ColdWar #ColdWarHistory #History
Our historical documentary series on the history of the Cold War continues with a video looking at Liberation Theology, a form of Catholicism that became popular across Latin America in the 1970s and 1980s and preached a message of equality and liberty in the present, not just the afterlife. This message brought it directly into conflict with both authoritarian governments supported by the United States and the Vatican itself.

Report to Congress on Special Operations Forces​

The following is the Sept. 16, 2025, Congressional Research Service report to Congress, U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF): Background and Considerations for Congress.

From the Report​

Special Operations Forces (SOF) play a significant role in U.S. military operations. In 1986, Congress, concerned about the status of SOF within overall U.S. defense planning, passed legislation (P.L. 99-661) to strengthen special operations’ position within the defense community and to improve interoperability among the branches of U.S. SOF. These actions included the establishment of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) as a new unified command.

The Death of Himmler - Important New Evidence​

Premiered Sep 14, 2025
In my search to find out the truth of Heinrich Himmler's death, I recently stumbled on some rather extraordinary new evidence that, if true, throws the official British story into serious doubt. My source? One of the most respected test pilots in aviation history!
Special thanks to Nicholas Jones at Quanta Films. ERIC BROWN - A PILOT'S STORY, is available on DVD here: www.quantafilms.co.uk
Thanks also the The Military Intelligence Museum for copies of Himmler's postmortem report, his false identity paper and newspaper clippings: https://www.militaryintelligencemuseu...
