Contrary to the widespread meme that Americans are ignorant, [some of
the] US diplomatic cables are precious material for studying cultural
diversity.

Building global movement requires reading documents about societies,
like this one [1] is. Analysis is fully accurate, although 7 years old
and some changes have happened in the mean time.

So, to understand the circumstances around building community or
chapter in particular country, I strongly suggest reading relevant
cables.

And, BTW, Wikipedia articles could be improved thanks to those cables.
