He wrote expanded the podcast manuscript into a book (and fixed some errors) but was required to stop writing for personal reasons. Jimmy did not stop due to what he found.additional note: There is much, much, much more to the story of the Trot-LaRouche-right-wing ties. There was a gigantic rabbit hole involving Roy Frankhouser. Frankhouser, a paratrooper who appeared to be brainwashed (he reminded Jimmy of McVeigh), infiltrated both Trot orgs and the Klan, and acted as an agent provocateur. Further, to understand this you should read KEN DUGGAN: LAROUCHE'S FAVORITE SATANIST? and The Swarmy Life and Times of the NCLC by Gregory F. Rose and Unity Now! to understand Duggan, Madole, and the bizarre entryist NCLC game being played between the farthest right wing elements, esoteric Nazism, and the fucking LaRouchians. Robert Miles was, or pretended to be from an intergenerational Cathar family and was raised in a White Russian fascist youth group. Jimmy suspects WerBell may have had contact with this group as well. Nearly every episode raised the prospect of a new criminal nexus with whom WerBell interacted. Everything got too hot. incredibly hard artwork by Robert Voyvodic (@rvoy__)Song:Maglev Train by Andrew Morton

Jimmy did not stop due to what he found. incredibly hard artwork by Robert Voyvodic (@rvoy__) Additional note: Jimmy was able to confirm that Mitchell Livingstone WerBell III was not Russian or Scottish but in fact Jewish on both paternal and maternal sides. This was confirmed in the 1920 census which listed their mother tongue as Hebrew and his parents coming from Poland/Romania/Russia. The 1930 census listed his parents' origins as Odessa, Russia. Further, WerBell's grandparents were listed as speaking "Russian Yiddish" in the 1910 census, and were buried in Har Nebo Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia. There is no doubt that Mitch WerBell III was Jewish. The implications are truly staggering. WerBell portrayed himself as Russian and Scottish, never Jewish, and in fact his family pretended to be Russian nobility. The whole white Russian thing. Kevin Coogan's books on Goleniewski, Yockey, and National Bolshevism are the keys to understanding this bizarre milieu of crypto-Jewish fascists. It also borders into the exact same territory as the fictional chivalric orders of the SoSJ and SoM that Coogan and Steven Snider have been studying. There was never any clear indication whether WerBell (or his sons) even knew he was Jewish, although it is unlikely that he was completely ignorant given his connections to Rich's Department store, advertising, his time in China, and the Israelis generally. Jimmy never found any indication that WerBell was antisemitic although he was constantly interacting with extreme far-right actors who were. It raises new questions about some of his interactions with Israeli military officials (episode 11), as well as the nature of his interactions with these extreme far-right groups. The fact that WerBell was Jewish raises many more questions than answers, and the question was never fully resolved before Jimmy discontinued his project. This was only one of several bizarre revelations between Jimmy writing the podcast and writing the book. Songs: Little Lord Fauntleroy by Upper Crust

[originally published on Patreon March 22, 2024] This is the fifteenth and last installment in the UFC/Banana/Guatemala series. Rodolfo and I finish discussing the film La Llorona. We get into some of the more spiritual themes of the film. We sincerepost and share our thoughts on spirituality more generally. This leads to a discussion of family ghost stories, and we each share one.  Songs: La Llorona by Gaby Moreno Ghost Party by Messer Chups

[originally published on Patreon March 21, 2024] Diving deeply into the claims made in the film La Llorona, I examine the question of Guatemala's oil industry in the wake of the 1954 coup and onwards, especially during La Violencia. As it turns out, most of the story deals with a company named Basic Resources International SA, or BRISA.  BRISA was owned by Sir James Goldsmith, a very curious man from a curious family. A corporate raider, far-right donor, and backer of private military contractor companies. I discuss the relationship between conservation movements and PMCs, and how the Goldsmith family backed both.  This leads me to discuss the privatization of intelligence, such as Six Eye / 6I, and Goldsmith's ties to Le Cercle. That, in turn, leads to a discussion of the P2 Lodge which itself loops right back to Banco Ambrosiano and would you look at that - BRISA again. Then, I lay out BRISA's money moves and acquisitions next to the events of La Violencia and it starts to look more and more like the genocide was to move the Mayans off oil-rich lands. Finally, I find the piece of the puzzle to connect BRISA to the genocide directly via the case of General Vernon Walters.  Then, I cite several key examples which strengthen the hypothesis. After that, I explain what happened to the Guatemalan oil industry afterwards, where Guatemalan gangs came from, and why Guatemala continues to be unstable. Songs: False Flags by Massive Attack Third World Blood by Behind Enemy Lines

[originally published on Patreon March 20, 2024] I am joined by Rodolfo (from the Bolaño series) to discuss the 2019 Guatemalan film La Llorona, which features a lightly fictionalized account of a Montt stand-in and deals with the psychic and spiritual fallout from La Violencia. We discuss about half of the film's plot which led us to one of the throwaway lines in the film - the question of Guatemalan mineral rights.  Songs: Lonely Surf Guitar by the Safaris Surfin' Todd by the Burzums

[originally published on Patreon March 19, 2024] I pick back up with Efraín Ríos Montt's pacification plan known as Victoria 82, informally known as Fusiles y Frijoles, or Rifles and Beans. Montt established secret courts, a scorched-earth military campaign and utilized counterinsurgency troops. I share my personal experience with survivors of these incidents. I also read from a work of fiction, Senselessness by Horacio Castellanos Moya which more eloquently captures what it is like to be confronted by these stories. Then, I read an extended passage from a truth and reconciliation report from just one of the many massacres of Finca San Francisco Nenton in Huehuetenango.  I discuss political opposition to the genocide. I also discuss the concentration camp program created with help from Israeli military advisors - they spoke frankly about the Palestinianisation of Guatemala. Further, the Israeli military provided arms and even a computer system which was used to compile death lists comparable to those of IBM and the Holocaust.  In August 1983, Montt was deposed in a bloodless military coup. I discuss Guatemala in the broader Cold War and World Anti-Communist League context. Then, I examine Montt's mental state during La Violencia and raise the serious possibility that he was a controlled asset. I trace the history of La Iglesia El Verbo, Gospel Outreach, this broader Dominionist theology, and Pat Robertson's investment portfolio. To end the episode, I lay out the claims of an anonymous internet commenter who claims to have been present at Montt's baptism in Eureka, California, and for other darker events. More on Guatemala's mineral rights soon. Songs: Selections from Uaxuctum by Giacinto Scelsi Luna de Xelajú performed by Gaby Moreno & Oscar Isaac
