Hi! Tasha here. We thought a bit about how to do this particular piece. Instead of creating a bunch of faux “historical” documents, we thought it little easier to just talk to you directly instead.
Since as Tautog said, there are some of you that literally do not care for anything but cute anime girls, the obligatory anime-girl picture is on the cover.

History of STEC’s Media Division – 1961 to Today
Okay. I think normally Morgane’s the one that does these things by talking to you directly, but you know, the usual happens, so I figure I’d give this one a shot instead.
This isn’t titled one of her Fireside Chats since it’s me talking, but psst, little robot, you might as well archive it under that!

Archival Scan of “the General,” 1st edition
Author: Unknown
Publisher: The John Birch Society
Dated 1958
Curator’s comments:
In 1958, the John Birch Society, a popular anti-communist and self-described patriot group, sends a 565 page pamphlet titled ‘the General’ to its 800,000 members scattered around the United States. Within days, the anti-Eisenhower publication propels itself into the forefront of national discourse and ignites what would ultimately culminate in the Freedom from Wars affair.STEC has chosen to archive and digitize the entirety of the pamphlet as it was presented in order to inform and educate the American people. Our position is that the Eisenhower administration is instrumental to STEC’s early efforts and played an unparalleled role in the efforts to preserve humanity from the Abyssal invasion. The precedent it set and the actions it may have taken may not necessarily be sensible to people at the time, but history has a tendency to vindicate when the full truth is made known.
