History and Terrorism in Washington, D.C. (2021)
In this episode I host a variety of experts on a variety of topics that dive into the riots and insurrection that occurred in Washington D.C. as extremists attempted to attack the foundation of our government and overturn a legal presidential election. This episode touches on a variety of points including: Historical parallels with Nazi Germany, Mussolini's Italy and the 1934 crisis of France. The evolution of modern extremists groups as they attempt to co-opt other conservative banners, flags and images while moving away from controversial hate symbols such as the swastika which can be a turn off to patriotic conservatives. Populism and conspiracy theories from the Bronze Age to our present day and attempts by modern politicians to pretend to be populists, manipulate their followers while very much being globalists. The holocaust and modern antisemitism as it manifested itself at these riots and attacks on our federal government. And the parallels that we are seeing with not just the Third Reich as the fringe becomes mainstream but the problems surrounding entertainment news and media who in many ways are going down the path of public broadcasting that we saw leading up to the genocide in Rwanda. The appropriation, misuse, abuse and misunderstanding of Spartan, Viking / Norse History and Native American History / Culture and how it manifested itself in D.C during the protests and criminal actions that took place. Finally we hear from a Republican politician who stresses the vitality of people learning to fact check what they hear, and to not fall for fringe media antics and fake news such as mass voter fraud and a stolen election. Lastly he notes and points out that the Republican Party must reclaim itself and force out these radical groups and figures that have managed to infiltrate the Republican Party and that Republicans must learn to work with the Democratic Party for the betterment of the U.S.A. Lastly we praise Officer Eugene Goodman who stood against an angry mob alone and lead them astray allowing people to escape and regroup thus doing his job to protect the American Republic. And finally we condemn these events and call them what the were which was terrorism and an attack on the very foundation of what we are as a nation, and I encourage you all to contact the F.B.I if you have information on the criminals who attempted to destroy what we are as a people and a nation while including pictures at the end of this episode of people of intertest who are being looked for by the authorities.
