Episode 13: The Michigan Kidnapping Plot

Episode 13 takes a look at the recent plot to kidnap and execute Democratic State Governor Gretchen Whitmer. I look into the background of the six right-wing kidnappers, their contacts with a right-wing militia called the Wolverine Watchmen, how their group was infiltrated and their plans thwarted by the FBI. Also how Trump spun the situation into some very obscene fascist messaging at a recent rally IN MICHIGAN shortly after.   Social Media: Twitter - @thispodispropa Instagram - @thispodispropaganda Youtube - This Podcast is Propaganda  Email - thispodcastispropaganda@gmail.com Libsyn Page -www.thispodispropaganda.libsyn.com   Want to Support the Podcast?

Sick, tired, and frustrated with life under Capitalism? Me too. We're talkin' Revolutionary Marxist theory and applying it to the material and social conditions we live in each day.
