One of the memes found is of Pikachu. Pikachu is a fictional character who has pointed ears with black tip and red round pouches on the cheeks. In the background of the meme, there are cars parked on sides and some people walking on the left side others on are sitting on the right far corner.

During the 1950’s, Australia had experienced its very own cold war drama, which came to be known as the Petrov affair. An event shrouded in a veil of secrecy along with a convoluted romanticism that painted a picture of democracy being triumphant over the evils of communism. This affair provides a platform to examine Australia’s cold War Psyche, revealing a level of existing paranoia that was further intensified by these revelations of spy rings infiltrating the annals of the Australian political system. However, the extent of Soviet espionage activities within Australia during this period becomes arguable, when considering that the communist hysteria was being driven by the Menzies government, fervently pushing the ‘Red’s Under the Bed’ wheelbarrow

“The Butter Battle Book” by Dr. Seuss mirrors the Cold War fairly accurately in a simply worded, yet deep, children’s tale. One major theme exemplified is the difference in political ideology. Initially, one can see that the Yooks and the Zooks wear very distinct and very differently colored clothing. The Yooks sport blue shirts and pants, while the Zooks’ don entirely orange attire. This resembles blue for the United States and red of the Soviet Union.

In Dr. Seuss’s, The Butter Battle Book he uses seemingly harmless items to make connections to the cold war, a potentially deadly war. He does this by using symbolism and themes to bring attention to the matter.

The Doc says to Patrick, “it just seems to me that some people will never get along,” referring to the turmoil between the East and the West.

In February 1943, the United States Army’s Signal Intelligence Service (SIS) launched a secret program with efforts to gather and decrypt (and later exploit) Soviet diplomatic communications. It took nearly two years before American cryptologists were able to break the KGB encryption. The information that was gained – in more than 2,000 messages – provided “insight into Soviet intentions and treasonous activities of government employees” (“VENONA”). The Venona files are most famous for exposing Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, giving indisputable evidence of their association with the American Communist Party and involvement with the Soviet spy ring ("VENONA"). But what exactly made Venona possible?
