Podcasts about Reichstag fire

This week, we'll continue digging into the story of infamous Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, beginning where we left off last week with the Reichstag Fire, a suspicious incident that led to the destruction of democracy and withdrawal of civil liberties in Germany. As you'll see, once those civil liberties were gone, Hitler was free to do as he pleased and what "he pleased" happened to include a world war and the mass murders of millions. We'll examine how it all went down, how he was finally stopped, and assess the risk of another Hitler-like monster rising to power today. Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: National WWII Museum "How did Adolf Hitler Happen?"History.com "Adolf Hitler"BBC "Adolf Hitler: Man and Monster"Time Magazine "Adolf Hitler: Man of the Year, 1938"The Atlantic "How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days"The Conversation "Understanding how Hitler became German helps us with modern-day extremists" The Atlantic "What the Press Got Wrong About Hitler" History Extra "Hitler's millionaire backers: how Germany's elite facilitated the rise of the Nazis" The Globalist "Trump and Hitler: How Accurate a Comparison?"Vanity Fair "Hitler's Doomed Angel"BBC "Hitler's Appointment as Chancellor, 1933" Wikipedia "Hitler Family"US Holocaust Memorial Museum "How and why did ordinary people across Europe contribute to the persecution of their Jewish neighborsJewish Virtual Library "When Did the World Find Out About the Holocaust?"Smithsonian Magazine "The True Story of the Reichstag Power and the Nazi Rise to Power"US Holocaust Memorial Museum "The Reichstag Fire"Shoot me a message!

On 27 February 1933, the Reichstag building in Berlin, which was home to the German Parliament, was burned down. This was a key event in the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship.Berlin-born journalist, Sefton Delmer, told his story to the BBC World Service in 1967. He grew up in the city so knew people involved with the Nazi party. This meant he was able to get close to the main people on the night. Delmer walked around the burning building with Hitler and Goring. He recalls their conversations and describes the scene in this fascinating account.Produced and presented by Gill Kearsley.

We also hear that Putin has destroyed 70% of Ukraine's wind power while Vampirizing the juice from Crimea's solar panels. The question of whether mass rallies can become more than photo ops through the use of QR codes is discussed by organizer GINI LESTER & computer guru LEE FELSENSTEIN. Howie then wonders if organizers at April 5 rallies throughout the country. Ohio's SANDY BOLZENIUS lauds the decentralized nature of these pro-democracy rallies nationwide.

Send us a textAfter witnessing the obscene way in which the Trump team treated the President of our ally Ukraine on Friday, it is clear that Trump and his cronies are working for someone other than the American people and the principles of democracy. Not only has the world reacted in outrage and horror, it is the American people, our economy and standing in the world that will ultimately suffer. As his support erodes - not only around the world - but here at home, look for a repeat of history -- our Reichstag fire event that will be meant to rally the people to the authoritarian's cause and result in a premise to declare Martial Law and who knows...suspend elections? It may come in the form of a well timed explosion that can be blamed on "our enemies". It may be an assassination of some un-needed red state elected officials who would be seen as "dying for the cause". And look for the 2026 elections to be under stress like we have never seen. We are at a tipping point in this country, make no mistake. It is up to us to do something about this.minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comMusic by David Horton

Hello Interactors,Since his return to office, Trump hasn't just taken power — he's trying to reshape the landscape. From border crackdowns and sick real estate fantasies to federal purges by strongman stooges, his policies don't just enforce control — they seek to redraw the lines of democracy itself.Strongmen don't wait for crises — they create them. They attempt to manipulate institutions, geographies, and public trust until there's so much confusion it makes anything they do to ease it acceptable. I dug into how authoritarianism thrives on instability and contemplate some ways to alter it.DEMAND DOMINATION THROUGH DOUBT AND DISORDER I was once a strongman, or at least I could summon one when needed. I could override the part of my brain that protects me from injury and tap into something primal — something that made me feel invincible. A surge of adrenaline convinced my brain I could not only hurl myself into another person but through them, painlessly.I played rugby. What I experienced is known as Berserker State, or berserkergang—a shift in brain activity and hormone surges that cause extreme arousal and altered perception. Rugby is a sport where people spend over an hour pretending they're not hurt. That's in contrast to soccer, where people spend over an hour pretending they are.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 86: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: MAGA in disarray. While the mass deportation scheme becomes the latest casualty of having elected a bunch of incompetent egomaniacs, Steve Bannon has declared war on Elon Musk. AND Elon Musk’s toady David Sachs. AND Peter Thiel. Bannon no longer will stop at getting Musk exiled from the White House because Bannon and the rest of the nativist lunatics hate all foreigners but Musk wants to not hate foreigners who can make him more rich via the H1B Visas. Bannon now wants Musk and the others to be the first immigrants thrown out of the country. He actually told this to Italy’s most-read newspaper, Corriere della Sala: "He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down... he should go back to South Africa. Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth...making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States." The point isn't whether Musk actually does kill and eat Musk. It's that they fight. Because at the same time Musk is admitting he can only cut half of the "government inefficiency" he promised to, and "Border Czar" Tom Homan is warning Republicans that Trump won't be deporting millions immediately. More like 60,000. And the Trump junta has admitted it can't unilaterally lower grocery prices, or install universal tariffs, and he's not going to dig up the Panama Canal and move it to Mar-a-Lago on Inauguration Day, he ain’t buying Greenland and coercing Canada and guess what, he didn’t “settle” Russia’s war on Ukraine in 24 hours, and his minions are hinting his attempts to turn the LA fires into an exploitable political event are going to crash. And even before re-gaining power, Trump has pre-failed. B-Block (34:55) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Joe Scarborough doubles down on his role as Marshal Petain-In-The-Ass at MSNVIchy. Politico dubs him "Elon Mush" then deletes it. And Naomi Wolf thinks victims of the Southern California firestorm aren't panicking enough. C-Block (45:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's bleak and the forecast for next week is Trump. So I need a laugh and maybe you do too.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 16: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The full Reichstag-Fire-level propaganda site Red State may have commissioned, certainly got first access, to a poll showing Kamala Harris leading Trump 52 to 45 among LIKELY voters, and 50 to 46 percent among REGISTERED voters. It's OUTSIDE the margin of error according to the head of the firm, which is SO right wing that the pollster's pinned tweet is about how in 2011 he predicted a Trump presidency. They also did favorability scores and claim Harris is at 50-50 and Trump only eleven points underwater. “The biggest factor helping Harris is how she has neutralized the immigration issue. In both polls, immigration was the fourth most important issue, or rather – only 10 percent told us it was their number one.” Also on polling, the weekly update from Morning Consult has shown no Convention Bump for Harris, or maybe just a continuation of the previous bumps – unchanged at Harris 48 Trump 44. But there ARE signs of… a Tim Walz bump. His favorability was at 39 percent and plus three before the convention; it is 42 percent and now plus SIX after it. SOLUTION: MUTE HIS MIC THROUGHOUT THE DEBATE: Trump is back to trying to back out of the presidential debate and he's not even doing it well and the American political media is, as always, astonished. As soon as Harris replaced Biden he claimed all agreements were off, now he is enraged she wants the mikes always open not muted, not because he objects to the mikes not being muted, but because she wants it. Let me summarize this: he is trying to back out of the debate. He is hoping to be able to back out and blame her. He did this with Biden too. He is using as an excuse an objection to something he agrees with. What is Harris doing? Harris, bluntly, is EFFING with him. The Harris team has already proven to be the most successful anti-Trump entity in the fertile field of EFFING with him. MORE MEDIA MADNESS: CNN interviews eight "undecided" voters after Harris's acceptance speech. Except one of them told them in advance he was voting for Trump. Chris Cillizza tops himself. And the Times' latest self-destructive Op-Ed? "Trump Can Win On Character,"  written by the guy who followed the 2008 Vice Presidential Debate with the infamous masturbatory column about Sarah Palin. B-Block (25:33) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Covfefe of 2024 as DonOld shows more evidence of mini-strokes. Andrea Tantaros compares Harris's appearance to...Hitler's "manscaping." And Jason Miller mocks a Kamala TV political surrogate as so old he should be in a rest home. The guy is 18 months YOUNGER than Trump. C-Block (32:25) SPORTS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE SPORTS/THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The former ESPN Big Show SportsCenter producer who went on to run ESPN, is succeeded by the guy who succeeded him AS the ESPN Big Show SportsCenter producer. Turns out the death of WCBS NewsRadio in New York was largely my fault.

If American democracy were to collapse, what historical parallels could help us understand what we might be in for? Nazi Germany? Learn how the Nazis swiftly exploited the Reichstag Fire in 1933 to enact the Reichstag Fire Decree, leading to a brutal suppression of political opponents and securing their dominance in the March 5th elections. We explore economic and social turmoil in Weimar Germany that laid the groundwork for Hitler's ascent, drawing poignant comparisons to the fragility of today's democratic system in the United States, and reveal the strategic maneuvers the Nazis employed to position themselves as the true representatives of Germany, transcending traditional political labels and focusing on national unity and modernization. We discuss the cultural anxieties exacerbated by rapid modernization and urbanization, and how Hitler's propaganda machine capitalized on these fears to foster a return to traditional values, further deepening societal and political divides. And, we explore the unique political skills and empathetic understanding Hitler used to galvanize support, setting a dangerous precedent for charismatic leadership in times of crisis.But, when we consider the similarities between conditions in Weimar Germany immediately prior to the collapse of democracy to the conditions in the United States, does past mean prelude? Maybe the gradual democratic collapse of the Roman Republic is a better corollary. So, we look into how systems designed to prevent tyranny can inadvertently lead to gridlock and public disenchantment. By examining historical events like Augustus' rise to power and modern phenomena such as gerrymandering and judicial appointments, we emphasize the subtle dangers of gradual democratic backsliding. This episode helps us understand what might lie ahead for American democracy and underscores the urgent need to recognize and address threats to democratic institutions today to prevent repeating the errors of history.Guests: Dr. Benjamin Hett, Dr. Peter Fritzsche, and Dr. Edward WattsMusic:Infados - Kevin MacLeodDark Tales: Music by Rahul Bhardwaj from Pixabay-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:InstagramYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com

The deadly terror attack in a concert hall outside Moscow was immediatley claimed by ISIS-K, the Islamic State network's Afghanistan franchise. But just as quickly, the Russian and Ukrainian intelligence services accused each other of being behind it—the latter saying it was organized as a "provocation" to expand Moscow's war in Ukraine. Putin's rise to power, including his recent rise to outright autocratic power, as well as his various military adventures, have indeed been lubricated every step of the way by terror attacks. But who was actually behind the Crocus City Center attack may not really matter overmuch. If 9-11 was a "Reichstag Fire" for the hyper-interventionist aims of Dubya Bush, that analogy may prove to apply even more closely to the concert hall carnage serving the war aims and totalitarian domestic agenda of Vladimir Putin.

This Day in Legal History: Reichstag Fire DecreeOn February 28, 1933, a pivotal moment in German legal history unfolded with the issuance of the Presidential Decree for the Protection of People and State by President Paul von Hindenburg. This decree emerged in the immediate aftermath of the Reichstag Fire, a calamitous event where the German Parliament building was engulfed in flames. Dubbed the Reichstag Fire Decree, this legislation marked a significant departure from established legal norms by suspending several fundamental civil liberties, including freedoms related to the press, the right to habeas corpus, and the protocols surrounding the issuance of search warrants. The Nazi party, leveraging the chaos and fear generated by the fire, attributed the act of arson to Communist agitators, a move that facilitated the rapid enactment of the decree. This legislative action, pushed forward by the then Chancellor Adolf Hitler, was not merely a response to a singular event but a calculated strategy towards consolidating absolute power. The Reichstag Fire Decree, therefore, stands as a stark reminder of how quickly legal frameworks can be altered in times of perceived crisis, leading to profound and lasting impacts on the structure of a nation's governance. It underscored the fragility of civil liberties under authoritarian pressures and served as a critical step in the Nazi party's quest to dismantle the democratic fabric of Germany, setting the stage for the oppressive and murderous regime that would follow.Sam Bankman-Fried, the co-founder of FTX, has been proposed by his legal team to serve no more than 6 1/2 years in prison for his role in the cryptocurrency exchange's collapse, significantly less than the potential 20-year sentence for the most severe charges. His attorneys, in a detailed memo to US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, emphasized Bankman-Fried's charitable contributions and argued for a sentence that would quickly reintegrate him into society, suggesting a range of 63 to 78 months as just. They also argued against ordering Bankman-Fried to pay restitution or forfeit assets, noting that identified accounts weren't for his personal benefit and that FTX's bankruptcy process would compensate customers and creditors. Convicted of charges including wire fraud and conspiracy, the case against Bankman-Fried could set a precedent for other cryptocurrency executives. His legal team criticized the US probation officials' recommendation of a 100-year sentence as excessive. The defense has included letters of support and mentioned Bankman-Fried's mental health challenges, including an undiagnosed autism and struggles with ADHD, to argue against a harsh sentence that could endanger him in prison due to his difficulty with social cues. Despite the contentious relationship with Judge Kaplan and significant setbacks, Bankman-Fried's ultimate sentence, guided by federal sentencing guidelines, remains to be determined, with Kaplan's past caution on guideline adherence potentially influencing the outcome.Sam Bankman-Fried Proposes Sentence of 6 1/2 Years or Less (2)Sam Bankman-Fried urges lenient sentence, citing FTX fund recovery | ReutersHunter Biden, the son of U.S. President Joe Biden, is set to testify in a closed-door session as part of the House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into his father. This development follows months of requests from House Republicans for his testimony, which Hunter initially resisted. The inquiry focuses on allegations surrounding the Biden family's business dealings, particularly Hunter's involvement with Chinese firm CEFC and Ukrainian energy company Burisma, during Joe Biden's vice presidency under the Obama administration. Despite accusations from House Republicans that the Biden family profited improperly from policy decisions, no concrete evidence has been presented to support these claims, with both Hunter Biden and the White House denying any wrongdoing. The inquiry proceeds despite the charging of a former FBI informant, central to the Republicans' case, with lying to the FBI and having connections with Russian intelligence. Amidst these events, Donald Trump, eyeing a presidential run against Biden, has encouraged the impeachment. The credibility of the impeachment inquiry has been questioned, especially after revelations about the informant's credibility and interactions with Russian intelligence. Hunter Biden also faces separate legal challenges, including charges related to tax fraud and illegal firearm possession, to which he has pleaded not guilty. This testimony occurs amidst broader political dynamics, including public calls by some Republicans for broader impeachment actions against Biden and other officials, and ongoing legal and political controversies surrounding the Biden family.Hunter Biden to testify to Republicans' impeachment probe | ReutersThe State Bar of California has adopted a budget for 2024 that prevents insolvency for the year but has highlighted the need for a significant increase in attorney licensing fees in 2025 to counter a growing budget shortfall. California lawyers are facing a proposed additional fee of $114 on top of the existing $404 annual fee to cover an expected $24 million deficit in the state bar's core operations. This increase is also intended to fund improvements in technology, add personnel for investigating complaints about attorneys, and enhance oversight of client trust accounts, among other needs. Despite the urgency, state lawmakers last year did not approve a requested fee increase, leaving the organization in a precarious financial situation. The State Bar's financial challenges include a need for almost $17 million to update its IT systems and additional funds for increasing staff to manage attorney complaints effectively. The organization managed to stay afloat in 2024 by using proceeds from the sale of its San Francisco building but faces insolvency by 2025 without the proposed fee hike. The situation underscores the need for a "financial reset," as emphasized by the board chair, to ensure the state bar can continue to fulfill its regulatory and oversight functions effectively.Calif. Bar eyes hefty dues increase for lawyers to stave off insolvency | ReutersIn my column this week, I explore the critical role of tourism tax in mitigating the regional effects of climate change, highlighting how such taxes, like those proposed in Hawaii, Italy, and Bali, aim to balance the economic benefits of tourism with environmental sustainability and social equity. I discuss the disproportionate impact of climate change on the global poor and argue that a well-designed tourist tax could serve as a model for protecting vulnerable populations and the environment. By expanding the scope of tax policy to include socioeconomic considerations, such as providing universal basic income or housing subsidies for residents of tourist destinations, we can address the intertwined challenges of climate change, poverty, and inequality. The implementation of these policies requires transparent and efficient allocation of tourism tax revenue, with a focus on supporting the most vulnerable communities and ensuring that tourism dollars contribute to genuine social improvement rather than exacerbating wealth disparities. I advocate for an adaptive policy framework that allows for ongoing evaluation and reallocation of resources, emphasizing the importance of cross-jurisdictional cooperation and a global approach to tourism taxation that prioritizes inclusivity and community-focused decision-making. This approach not only aims to reduce the negative impacts of tourism on the environment but also leverages tax policy as a tool for promoting social equity and resilience in the face of climate change.Tourism Tax Is Crucial to Tamp Regional Effects of Climate Change Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Make sure to give him a follow on Twitter at @thingobserver & check out his Patreon, as well. **The time has come to put Hanussen's body back in the earth. Luke & I conclude our exhumation & critically paranoid examination of the life & espionage times of the Nazi Nostradamus & sexual blackmailer. We break down the symmetries b/w Hanussen & his likely fellow anti-communist, Austro-Hungarian Zionist agent/ asset named Arthur Koestler (and the incredibly sus, See-Eye-Aye nexus that he was enmeshed in... Including connections to McCarthy, Nixon, Orwell, Langston Hughes, Vladimir Jabotinsky, Timothy Leary, voluntary euthenasia societies, the Congress for Cultural Freedom, a parapsychology department at the University of Edinburgh, the list goes on)... We get to Koestler via his autobiographical account of visiting Hanussen at his lavish Capone-cum-geisha apartment in Berlin—Koestler & a German occult journalist were on assignment & arrived to test their respective susceptibility to Hanussen's "clairvoyant" abilities. The article was never published. So yeah, a Hanussen & Koestler spying for Zion hypothesis is considered. We then turn our attention to Hanussen's Reichstag Fire prophecy & his possible role in the cover-up (realizing I may have forgot to mention this, but Hanussen spoke to the media & helped the Nazis to set the tone for their constructed narrative immediately following the fiery false flag). We conclude w/ a discussion of varying motivations for the Nazis to off him (especially his betrayal during the Mosse publishing empire purchase), the particulars of his unceremonious death, & the discovery of his body in a wooded glade, half gnawed by wild animals. And finally, Luke & I put guns to each others heads to force each other to make a final, fatal assessment re: Hanussen's motivations & allegiance(s).** Songs:  | The Prodigy - "Firestarter" |  | Rammstein - "Benzin" |

It's here folks, the epic finale to our episodes discussing Hitler's rise to the Chancellor of Germany and the beginnings of World War 2.  Recently released from prison, with his political party outlawed, and his ability to speak in public banned, how does Hitler find himself on a path directly to ultimate power in Germany. Deciding the whole "over throwing the government with a violet coup" thing isn't working. He attempts to navigate the waters of politics to attain his definitive goal, to become the Fuher of Germany through "Legal Means". Why are you still reading this, hit play. 

In this episode of the Patrick Henningsen Show on TNT Radio which aired on September 18, 2023, Patrick talks about the fact that it's becoming clearer by the day that the whole January 6th farrago were directed by federal agents, informants and establishment forces whose intention was to spur on a ‘domestic extremist' event and to capitalize on the media images and manufactured ‘crisis of democracy', and use this to destroy the Trump MAGA movement while simultaneously ramping up federal power over people's basic rights. This process began with the Establishment's Russiagate hoax which many low-information Americans still believe in.

Luke Marshall from Things Observed has arrived to help guide a collab investigation into the mental life & times of the Nazi Nostradamus, sexual blackmailer, & psychic spy known as Erik Jan Hanussen. A Crowleyan figure who, as we'll see, may have been a British intel asset (it's not unlikely that he worked directly with the Beast 666 himself in some capacity)... We're talking about the Jewish telepath who attempted to blackmail his way into becoming the Nazi "Minister of the Occult" & who was ultimately assassinated by the orders of SA-Gruppenführer Karl Ernst, a murder likely connected to Hanussen's involvement in the Reichstag Fire (or prior knowledge of it). In Pt. II, we explore interpretations of Hanussen's Reichstag Fire prophecy & claims that he hypnotized the "Communist" patsy Marinus van der Lubbe, who was ultimately pinned w/ the crime.  To unlock the full version of the EP, subscribe to the PPM Patreon: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping ... And give me a follow on Twitter if you haven't yet (@KlonnyPin_Gosch) Similarly, make sure to follow Luke on Twitter (@thingobserver) & check out his podcast "Things Observed"(patreon.com/ThingsObserved). We unpack a ton... Hanussen's early life as a vaudeville brat & carny in fin de siècle Austro-Hungary; his possible Sabbatean or Frankist lineage, an antinomian inheritance that's interesting to consider when juxtaposed w/ his future Nazism; his WWI service & cemetery séances; his bribery of military censors; his telepathic & mentalist routines; connections to experimental psychologists like Joe Labéro, Sigmund Freud, & Paul Schilder; "muscle reading", which connects to MasSUSchusetts proponents of hypnotherapy like William James; criminal telepathy; Hanussen's work as a hypnotist at the Institute for Breath Therapy & the Spittalgasse nerve clinic, which hints at his later hypnosis of a tobacco magnate, which would in turn lead to Hanussen getting involved in arms trading & espionage; Hanussen's attempt to insert himself into the investigation into one of Germany's most deadly & disgusting serial killers ever—the Vampire of Düsseldorf aka Peter Kurten; a possible proto-MKULTRA angle to the Düsseldorf killing; shades of Thelemic sex magic in Kurten's paraphilia, which foreshadows the possible connections b/w Crowley & Hanussen that we'll discuss in more detail in Pt. II; Hanussen's early sexual blackmail experiences while working for the Viennese tabloid Der Blitz, which prefigures his later blackmail of Nazis like Count Helldorf on his pleasure yacht the Ursel IV; and a ton more.

Our government is using the illegal war in Ukraine, and now the supposed intel leak, to consolidate more power, continue censorship, and target political opponents. Officials have achieved a state of "total state" by consolidating support of the corporate world and the media, which traditionally opposed illegal wars but will now go along with the synchronized official ideology of the state, known as “Gleichschaltung.” Rather than express concern over the content of the leak, namely the illegal war with boots on the ground, the media is serving as the enforcer of authoritarianism. I explain why House Republicans need to finally force a debate over a declaration of war. Also, I lay out the strategy for the debt ceiling fight. It needs to be more about stripping the government of its weaponization against our life, liberty, and property, not just about abstract spending figures. Learn more about your ad choices.

Brazil is Latin America's largest country and a strategic prize for the region's Marxists and their sponsors in Beijing. So, restoring the Communists' leader, Lula da Silva, to its presidency was a top priority, one accomplished in elections last year many Brazilians believe were fraudulently decided.  For some 70 days, millions of Lula's opponents turned out peacefully in cities across the country urging the military to intervene pursuant to its constitutional duty in the event elections were deemed to have been stolen.   The armed forces did not act. And, after Lula took office on January 1st, key government buildings in Brasilia were attacked, apparently by a combination of leftist provocateurs and supporters of former President Jair Bolsanaro, who has denounced those responsible.  Like Hitler's Reichstag fire, count on the Marxists to use this pretext to suppress their opponents – and freedom. This is Frank Gaffney.

What has become obvious to anyone paying attention is that we are living through a kind of revolution. It is not a physical one. As my friend Abe Greenwald wrote in Commentary Magazine, it “is not being fought within the physical limits of a battlefield. It is instead happening all around us and directly to us. It is redefining our culture, our media, and giving new shape to our public and private institutions. It is remaking the nation before our eyes.”  In other words, this is a revolution of culture. A revolution of ideas.—Bari Weiss, The New Founders America NeedsEveryone has their own version of how the Left was lost. This is mine. I tell my story as someone who was very much a devoted Hillary supporter in 2016 and an early Biden supporter. I tell this story as someone who got online in 1994 with one foot in the real world, and one foot in the virtual one. I also tell this story as someone who is no longer a Democrat. Any slim chance there might have been for me to support the Democratic Party has been eliminated by the undemocratic partisan show trials of January 6th, an authoritarian power grab based on the lie that Trump brought the Proud Boys to DC to launch a violent insurrection against the US government. Trump would not have urged Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz to debate the election in the Senate if he wanted to overthrow the government. All the violent riot did was interrupt the case he was trying to make and hand absolute power to his enemies. He might be a lot of things but dumb is not one of them. Yes, the Democrats have used January 6th as a Reichstag Fire to grow their power, punish citizens and present a litmus test to anyone who dares to question the results of the 2020 election. After the American people watched the Democrats and the media completely memory hole what happened in the Summer of 2020, most are looking at these hearings and the reactions to January 6th overall, as an existential crisis the political aristocracy has time and money to care about. Biden's AmericaBy the Summer of 2020, I could see that there was something very wrong with the Left. Because I still wanted Biden to win, I was worried they were abandoning three basic fundamentals this country relies on:Freedom of Speech - cancel culture was ragingLaw and Order - “Defund the police” was trendingPatriotism - attacking Federal buildings, and historical statues, saying America was “systemically racist.”Not only did no one listen to anything I had to say, but they were angry at me for saying it. Neera Tanden wrote me personally and asked me to stop criticizing the Democrats until after the election because defeating Donald Trump was the main priority. But I was beginning to worry more about this new version of the Left taking power than I was even Trump. If the things we were seeing at newspapers and across all institutions - silencing dissent, firing people right and left and this suddenly strident doctrine that was being forced down everyone's throat got into government? Then our country would start to look a lot more like an authoritarian utopia of the 1984 kind.Turns out, we have become that authoritarian utopia, at least online. We trusted the Big Tech oligarchs with our data, our friendships, our preferences, our financials. Now they're turning on those who are non-compliant and tossing them out of what looks a lot like the “Inner Party” in 1984. The Left was never the “resistance.” They were always the empire. You can't be that rich, that power, and control almost every area of American culture from Hollywood to book publishing to media to science and big tech and not be the empire. Trump's side was the “resistance” and still is. It feels eerily like 1984 now that the internet is ruled by a partisan cabal doing the bidding of the government. Even the Two Minutes of Hate feels like every day on Twitter or the January 6th show trials. That's because George Orwell recognized the hypocrisy of a movement supposedly based on equality that was still totally unequal. It's kind of like how the Left has those lawn signs that say “This House has no Hate” but of course, they are filled with hate of those they have deemed the “bad” people. Moral superiority against those with less power than you have is not a good look for the Left. They justify it because they have re-ordered the power hierarchy in this country, which puts the most marginalized people at the top and the least marginalized at the bottom. If you are white, to them, you are powerful therefore you must be dropped to the bottom of the new hierarchy. Likewise, if you are Black and extremely wealthy, you are still marginalized and at the top of the hierarchy. They are hard-liners when it comes to skin color but fluid with gender. The first time I heard that the Left no longer believed class to be an issue was pointed out by Conservative analyst Victor Davis Hansen who wrote:During the 1980s cultural war, the left's mantra was “race, class and gender.” Occasionally we still hear of that trifecta, but the class part has increasingly disappeared. The neglect of class is ironic given that a number of recent studies conclude class differences are widening as never before.Middle-class incomes among all races have stagnated, and family net worth has declined. Far greater percentages of rising incomes go to the already rich. Student debt, mostly a phenomenon of the middle and lower classes, has hit $1.7 trillion.States such as California have bifurcated into medieval-style societies. California's progressive coastal elites boast some of the highest incomes in the nation. But in the more conservative north and central interior, nearly a third of the population lives below the poverty line — explaining why one of every three American welfare recipients lives in California.There are two conflicting world views not just in America but in other countries — global elitism vs. nationalist populism. To the Left of this country, and much of Gen-Z, they have come of age online so they aren't so locked into the idea of America as a place with states and borders. Ideology matters to them more. One kind of future would be like 1984 where many countries have come together to form a broader, virtual union. But there is another movement across the globe to push back against it. Some have called it “Far Right” nationalism but it is the side that opposes the “woke” indoctrination, and the new environmental policies. There are already uprisings against what many countries have done with masks, vaccines, and now the climate. The Democrats, the media, and Biden tell Americans every day how little they care about their problems. Only the wealthy can afford to sit around all day ruminating on January 6th and the existential crisis of Trump.Batya Ungar-Sargon was on the Progressive Left but, like so many others out there, and understands that the working class of this country is not reading the New York Times or watching MSNBC. They're mostly watching Tucker Carlson. So she goes on his show because she knows she can reach a much broader audience. She is, to my mind, the kind of guiding light we need moving forward. And that is why I watch Tucker Carlson, because he is the most-watched cable news host and he's the most-watched among the working class, which my former party has all but abandoned. The Empire's New Clothes2008 turns out to be a pivotal year. It was the year that Neil Howe and William Strauss predicted would spark the “Fourth Turning,” which would be something along the lines of the Civil War. Here is how Howe and Strauss describe the Fourth Turning on their site:The Fourth Turning is a Crisis…This is an era in which America's institutional life is torn down and rebuilt from the ground up—always in response to a perceived threat to the nation's very survival. Civic authority revives, cultural expression finds a community purpose, and people begin to locate themselves as members of a larger group. In every instance, Fourth Turnings have eventually become new “founding moments” in America's history, refreshing and redefining the national identity. Howe has said that he believes it was the financial crisis of 2008 that led to the $700 billion bailout that sparked the Fourth Turning. And indeed, two populist uprisings sprang to life in its wake - Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party. There were other uprisings during Obama's presidency, like the storming of the Capitol in Wisconsin and Michigan, not to mention the formation and activism of Black Lives Matter, all of these mobilized by whole communities connecting online.The ways in which social media spurs political mobilization and even violence have only been applied to the Right but think about this: Kenosha burned to the ground before journalists got the false narrative corrected, that he was unarmed and “breaking up a fight.” They only seem to worry about the Trump supporters but I expect in a few years they will come to regret that. 2008 was also the historic election of the nation's first Black President, Barack Obama. That would spark not just a movement, but a full-blown religion that would influence American culture in ways not felt on the Left since JFK.The other major turning point that occurred in 2008 was that Obama became the first President to use a social media platform, Twitter, to build his coalition. Twitter became the Church and the fulcrum for the Left. It would only intensify over time and in 2020 Twitter would become the authoritarian arm of the empire, which was now controlled by the Democratic Party. Obama's first term win would send the Left into a kind of rapture. For a community that was already trying to aim towards self-improvement with the rise of therapy and anti-depressants, not to mention daily talk shows like Oprah where we began to understand the difference between “good” people and “bad” people. We were already on the path towards perfecting our new utopia even before Obama rose to power, but once he did, the utopians had a leader and a religious figure. The rapture would last just four years. By Obama's second term, 2012, the Devil had come to the Left in the form of racism. Before that, most of the country was pleased Obama had won. It felt like an important milestone in a country whose history and legacy were stained not just by slavery, but by the Jim Crow era of the South that destroyed whole generations of Black citizens. Obama had been a uniter. That was until things started going badly for his administration. His progressive policies drove an extreme reaction by the rising populist movement on the Right and eventually, in his second term, Obama had a solid red Congress. The more Obama was obstructed by Congress, and the more the Tea Party rose up to oppose Obama's policies, the more the focus on racism began to permeate the consciousness of the Left in a new way. Racism was baked-in. It wasn't anything you did it was something you were. An accusation is enough because how can anyone prove that they aren't? Any white person who opposed or even criticized Obama, who had become and remains a god-like figure on the Left, had to be racist. By 2013, Critical Race and Gender theory would spread from college campuses to high schools to online social media sites like Tumblr. Even before Trump ran in 2016, there was this idea that racism was everywhere and in everything. That 2013 generation on Tumblr went to college and enacted their online justice ideology in real-world activism. Remember, if your only experience of presidential leadership is Barack Obama — and you believe half the country is “white supremacist” then your activism is going to center around “fixing” the omnipresent racism the same way the Puritans were chasing witches to purge the Devil from their otherwise devout village. And since this generation understood that you broadcast your identity online and on social media, what you did, what you stood for, and what you fought for defined who you were and separated you from people who weren't doing that. I remember during the Summer of 2020 my niece was begging me to put something about antiracism on my Instagram but I had been writing about racism and advocating for Black artists for years on my website, awardsdaily.com. That felt performative to me and frankly, she sounded like she was in a cult - they were urging her to drop her relatives who weren't committed to racial justice. This was in 2015:My daughter told me she first started noticing what we call “Cancel Culture” originating on Tumblr in 2013 with the website “Yur Fav is Problematic” wherein a self-appointing army of strident thought-police would call out celebrities or anyone whose platform was growing if they committed any sort of crime against the new doctrine. Here is just a sample of what that looked like. Naturally, as the Left was becoming more politically extreme, so too did the Right rise up to challenge that movement and push back. Around 2013, Trump began “getting political” on Twitter. Part of it was his alignment with the Tea Party, though really its representative was Sarah Palin who ran as John McCain's running mate in the pivotal year of 2008. The Tea Party was already considered a “racist” movement by the Left, thus anyone involved in it had to be racist. Here is Steve Bannon way back in 2012 explaining what would become the Trump strategy to win in 2016. Bannon has also been labeled as a racist, along with the MAGA movement. Minute 222.One of the biggest disadvantages for the Left and even the Never Trumpers is that they are now being caught with their pants down since they are losing Hispanic and Asian voters. Even Black voters are starting to flee the Democratic Party. The America First movement per Steve Bannon has been actively trying to recruit those voters. Anyone who knows the movement knows it isn't based on race or racism. Once they become aware of that, the entire Left and the media instantly lose credibility. The media and the Democrats have been whipping members of the Left into a state of hysteria for six long years. Longer. They never stopped to think about what that might be doing to the formidable minds coming of age online. That kind of delusional thinking is what got us to Evergreen and what got us to the Summer of 2020. The Fourth FoundingThere are some offering us a way out, a new “founding” of sorts. Bari Weiss whose Common Sense offers a path forward that retains some of the altruism of the Left in its current state but also seeks to build a new foundation of American life that preserves the things that define this country. Weiss has written a brilliant manifesto of sorts from a speech she gave at the new “free-thinking” university she helped build:1. To be a founder in 21st-century America means to reject the politics of resentment and to recognize our privilege. My dad lost a younger sister to cancer. My dad also has MS. So why does he constantly say he is the most privileged man in the world? Because he grew up in a stable, loving home with two parents. Because he has meaningful work. Because he has Judaism and the community that comes with it. Because he married the love of his life. And, above all else, because he had the great, good fortune to be born in America.Even with all our flaws and failings, even with inflation and polarization and tribalization, anyone who is honest will admit that there is nowhere better to build a life. Saying that right now feels radical, because grievance and resentment define the current cultural moment. It's a dead end. We must get back to gratitude. James Strock who writes of America's Fourth Founding in a must-read piece called Who Lost America lays out exactly what has happened to this country since around 2013:Demands for recognition and respect of non-majority identities are by no means new. They recur through the course of our history. They're a feature, not a bug of our national experiment. They prompt periodic resets of American political life, sweeping more people into full participation. Those holding power are persuaded to acknowledge the rights of others, in the ceaseless cause of aligning our practices with our ideals.What's different now is that the most conspicuous variants of identity politics reject the ideals of individual rights and autonomy for all. Instead, they assert that existing hierarchies are irredeemably illegitimate, built on oppressor group power dynamics. Rather than making it possible for more people to compete and earn places in talent and competence hierarchies, these critics seek to invert them. Those classified as members of historically marginalized groups would be placed at the top based on immutable characteristics. This approach inclines toward rule by an elite, tending toward autocracy rather than democratic self-governance.This yields a banquet of consequences. Group victimization is venerated; individual achievement is derogated and deconstructed by frenzied packs of injustice collectors. Institutional power is honored; political persuasion is neglected. Representative democracy is discredited as built upon past, unjust assumptions and institutions, rather than safeguarded as a foundation for the ongoing pursuit of progress.When we put it all together and we look at what this country has become at the hands of the Left, we have a larger majority that will reject it. They will reject Hollywood movies that are soaked through with dogma (almost all of them are). They will reject candidates who drive some of the more extreme policies of the Biden administration. They will reject what appears to be indoctrination in our public schools.And hopefully, they reject this bizarre new religion that seems to exist only to alleviate the guilt and shame of the most successful and wealthy Americans who loved Obama enough that they wanted to atone, eternally, for their sins of white privilege. Watching them alternate between white guilt and being white saviors is exhausting. It seems so self-serving and punishes those in the middle or at the bottom who have no marginalized status to allow them entry to the inner party. They are asked or demanded to be “good allies” and give up their talent or their skills and take a step back to allow for equality of outcome rather than opportunity.But we are a country that still needs to be based on the hardest working and the very best to rise to the top regardless of status, race or any other way societies categorize and rank their citizens from birth. We should be giving everyone a shot, not telling others to slow down for those behind them to catch up. Strock ends his piece by saying we can't wait for any savior to rescue us:How will we diagnose and alleviate the pains afflicting our body politic? Are we experiencing America's death throes? Or is a new nation struggling to be born?The answer is unlikely to be found through the calamitous clarity and contingency of foreign war. And it's unlikely to be delivered from on high here at home, by a leader as yet unidentified.As with the generation of 1776, the Civil War generation, and the Greatest Generation, the American future depends on us, ordinary citizens bound one to another in a extraordinary, fateful experiment.The Left I used to know stood up for the little guy, the working-class poor, not just those they choose to help because they are ideologically compliant. We didn't punish or cancel artists. We didn't censor and bully journalists. There is no doubt we have lost our way. Perhaps a massive red wave will give the Democrats a chance to collapse completely and then rebuild with new blood and a better path forward.

Your Heard Tell show for Friday, June 17th, 2022 is turning down the news cycle noise and getting to the information we need on a historical example with modern day implications that show that the arts are always a reflection and critique of politics & society, and the "culture wars" not only aren't an excuse to ignore, but art is a vital counterpoint to them. We cover writing from LD Burnett in Ordinary Times on the subject. Also, electric vehicles are the wave of the future, we are told, but there seems to be a disconnect between the rhetoric, the movement, and the current in real life reality. We discuss some numbers that bring facts to the table and talk about how electric vehicles have a future, but as EVs, not as unicorns making unfillable promises. We talk through the data, debates, and discussion points using some writing by our friend Connor Tomlinson as a jumping off point.

Stop me if you heard anything like this before... An avowed socialist ascends to the leadership of his country despite being a member of the minority party. A precipitating event in the nation's capital serves as the pretext for that person to assume extraordinary “emergency powers”. He uses those powers as a blunt instrument to destroy his opposition. A minority group in that country is scapegoated as the cause of an existential crisis, and the leader escalates persecution of that group. That group is banned from partaking in society in full and has their possessions confiscated by the government under the emergency powers. I think most of you know where I'm going with this. Everything in the preceding paragraph applies to Adolph Hitler, who used the Reichstag Fire as an excuse to assume dictatorial powers which he used to attack, if not eliminate his political opposition and to persecute those who he felt were undesirable, who didn't fit in with his vision of the perfect society. So too does it also apply to Justin Trudeau, who rose to the top post of his government, despite his party not holding the majority of seats. He invoked the seldom-used Emergencies Act, which he is using to persecute and intimidate the truckers who brought their protest to the nation's capital several weeks ago. Though he won't exterminate the truckers, or (hopefully) won't put them into work camps, he does seem intent on depriving them of any meaningful existence as Canadian citizens, and of several unalienable rights. Even those who offered financial and material support to the truckers are being treated exactly like those who support actual terrorists. Trudeau not unlike the Fascists of yesteryear will brook no opposition, no challenge to his vision. Those who dare stand against him must be crushed, as all those who stand against the state must be in his world. Yes, these truckers in their act of civil disobedience, have broken laws-- traffic laws, parking laws, and assorted other minor misdemeanors. None of which, in the civilized world, would justify the sort of crackdown Trudeau has started. They are the sort of nuisance violations that normally, in a sane society, warrant fines and little more. Many of the truckers had already left their positions blocking the US/Canada border. What Trudeau is doing is above and beyond what the situation calls for. What he and his flowers are doing resembles less what leaders of liberal democracies do, and more what the craven, despot rulers of the last century did. The situation calls for sitting down with the truckers, listening to their grievances, and working out a solution. (Offering people the right to bodily autonomy would seem like a pretty low bar.) It calls for him seeing them as equals and dealing with them as people, not terrorists, not enemies of the state, but people. If he can kneel with BLM protesters, he can sit with peaceful truckers.

Hitler became chancellor of a mostly-not-Nazi cabinet. But he also demanded yet another election and worked hard to create a sense of crisis that would encourage more votes for Nazis.

On February 27 1933, as Hitler's campaign moved into its final, frantic days, the Reichstag, the German Parliament building, was set on fire and burnt down. An atmosphere of panic and terror followed the event. This continued when a young Dutch communist, Van der Lubbe was arrested for the crime. Though the event had been wildly exaggerated, the Nazi Party used the atmosphere of panic to their advantage, using it to sway political sentiment towards their movement. This hysteria helped to turn the public against the communists, one of the Nazis main opponents, and 4000 people were imprisoned. On the 28 February 1933, President Hindenburg signed the Emergency Decree for the Protection of the German People. This decree suspended the democratic aspects of the Weimar Republic and declared a state of emergency. This decree gave the Nazis a legal basis for the persecution and oppression of any opponents, who were be framed as traitors to the republic. People could be imprisoned for any or no reason. The decree also removed basic personal freedoms, such as the freedom of speech, the right to own property, and the right to trial before imprisonment. Today, we see the same thing happening from the left as it relates to the “insurrection” of January 6th. Join Rick Green as we discuss the frightening similarities between the 1930's and 2022.

Learn more: https://newdiscourses.com/2020/12/announcing-new-subscribers-only-podcast-james-lindsay/ On January 1 of this year, the New York Times told us that "Every Day is January 6 Now." That's obviously absurd, hyperreal, pseudo-real, but it's also an echo from the past. While many have rightly made the comparison between that farce and the Reichstag Fire perpetrated by the National Socialists in order to grab power, I was immediately put in mind of a paragraph from Herbert Marcuse's 1965 essay "Repressive Tolerance" (https://www.marcuse.org/herbert/publications/1960s/1965-repressive-tolerance-fulltext.html) when I saw that headline. "The whole post-fascist period is one of clear and present danger. Consequently, true pacification requires the withdrawal of tolerance before the deed, at the stage of communication in word, print, and picture. Such extreme suspension of the right of free speech and free assembly is indeed justified only if the whole of society is in extreme danger. I maintain that our society is in such an emergency situation, and that it has become the normal state of affairs," Marcuse wrote. Every day is January 6 now, and our entire society is in such an emergency situation, one of clear and present danger. In this episode of my subscribers-only podcast, James Lindsay OnlySubs, which I'm taking out from behind the paywall and making available to everyone, I walk you through the crucial paragraphs of Marcuse's essay in light of this ridiculous and ridiculously dangerous pronouncement. Join me to learn even more about how we find ourselves living in Marcuse's nightmarish neo-Marxist philosophy. -James Lindsay Support New Discourses: paypal.me/newdiscourses newdiscourses.locals.com/support patreon.com/newdiscourses subscribestar.com/newdiscourses youtube.com/channel/UC9K5PLkj0N_b9JTPdSRwPkg/join Website: https://newdiscourses.com Follow: facebook.com/newdiscourses twitter.com/NewDiscourses instagram.com/newdiscourses https://newdiscourses.locals.com pinterest.com/newdiscourses linkedin.com/company/newdiscourses minds.com/newdiscourses reddit.com/r/NewDiscourses Podcast: @newdiscourses podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new-…es/id1499880546 bit.ly/NDGooglePodcasts open.spotify.com/show/0HfzDaXI5L4LnJQStFWgZp stitcher.com/podcast/new-discourses © 2022 New Discourses.

Listen to this episode while you can, before it gets memory-holed. Connor and Paul start with an update on the vaccine mandates sitting at the Supreme Court before sharing some very important takes on the Democrats' insufferable Broadway production of the insurrection myth. Connor recaps some of the actual political violence that has occurred at the Capitol, as well as the violence cheered on by the Democrats themselves. Then Paul shares a chilling history lesson--the story of the 1933 Reichstag Fire in Germany, which Adolph Hitler used to falsely demonize his political opponents and usher in one-party rule...you know the rest. Finally, a "female" jeopardy champion and two "female" swimmers in the Ivy League. Women's rights and opportunities are under attack by biological men, and Connor and Paul say it's time to act. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

We hit the 1930s in our Geopolitics, War & Espionage season and hotfoot it straight over to Germany in 1933 where something big was brewing. Hitler and his Nazi party are able to seize absolute power and rule Germany as a dictatorship. An arson attack on the home of Germany's parliament - the Reichstag - helps to precipitate all of this.But who literally started the fire? And could Erik Jan Hanussen, the man who coached Hitler in public speaking, somehow predicting it ahead of time hold some clue? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Darrell Castle explores the question of whether the FBI infiltrated the so-called militia groups the Federal Government labeled responsible for the “insurrection” at the Capitol to the extent that the FBI not only investigated the events of January 6th, but actually caused them. Transcription / Notes: SERIOUS QUESTIONS FOR THE FBI ABOUT THE 1-6 RIOTS Hello this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. Today is Friday the 25th of June in the year 2021 and on this Report, I will be exploring the question of whether the FBI infiltrated the so-called militia groups the Federal Government labeled responsible for the “insurrection “at the Capitol to the extent that the FBI not only investigated the events of 1/6, but actually caused them. The Castle family is doing fine this week despite some of the problems that go along with living in this age. Our humble garden consisting of potted vegetables on our deck is starting to ripen which is cause for excitement since we in this family take excitement from the simple things. I can't tell you the family daughter is perfectly fine in Los Angeles this week, but she is hanging in there all things considered. The three so-called “militia groups” the federal government has named as responsible for the riots are Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, and the three percenters. I have personally met the founder of Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, and I have heard his presentation a few times. The premise of the organization is that it recruits those who have taken an oath to defend the Constitution and it believes that oath remains in effect. I have no personal experience with either of the other two. Just to cut right to the chase the FBI not only instigated the 1/6 events at the capitol, but conducted a test run in late 2020 with almost exactly, the same set of facts. The head of the FBI field office in the district where the trial run was conducted was promoted to head of the Washington DC field office and given charge of the 1/6 investigation. There are many questions to be considered but the chief one is the statement made by Stewart Rhodes. “Yep, this Whitmer Plot was a trial run for the FBI's January 6 Insurrection Day at Capitol Hill. What happened on that day was the Reichstag Fire of the Democrat-Deep State Nazis who run the federal government today.” Should Mr. Rhodes' statement prove to be true then it is one of the most important events in American history, a watershed event and comparison to the Reichstag Fire is not an exaggeration. Let's take a brief look at the trial run better known as the Governor Whitmer kidnapping plot. Most of the investigations of these two events, the Whitmer kidnapping and the 1/6 events have been conducted by Revolver News, a very respected news sources and then reported by Tucker Carlson. I read Revolver's very long and detailed report of their investigation and from that report we learn what really happened in the Whitmer plot and what probably happened on 1/6. The questions to be answered by the FBI, DOJ, Pentagon, and Network News are 1. In the year leading up to 1/6 and during 1/6 itself, to what extent did those government organizations infiltrate the three organizations labeled most responsible for planning and executing a Capitol attack. 2. What roles did they play, merely passive informants or active instigators. 3. The unindicted co-conspirators referenced in the charging documents on 1/6, how many worked as confidential informants or as undercover agents for the Federal Government. It will take persistence to get answers to those questions, but upon correct answers depends the future of this country and our way of life as Americans. The American people deserve to know the truth about what kind of country they are living in. The premise of the FBI, DOJ, and their friends in the media is that the events of 1/6 were the fault of Trump-supporting QAnon-infused “domestic terrorists”, but secondarily it was due to intelligence failures of the government...

We had the privilege of a return visit to Irreverend Land from US commentator Esther O'Reilly, sharing some in-depth perspective on the crazy events in Washington D.C. on January 6th, the legacy of Trump, the possibility of ever-greater levels of censorship and ostracisation for conservatives and maybe Christians in the US, the breakdown of the social fabric of Western Civilization, and whether or not Tom is a Zwinglian when it comes to Eucharistic Theology. So, basically, everything that is important right now.Along the way we reference a rather provocative piece from Rod Dreher, The Left's Reichstag Fire, and we look at a piece from Mere Orthodoxy, After Evangelicalism, which attempts to conflate evangelicalism, Trumpism and scepticism about the government response to COVID.For Garry Williams' excellent piece on why churches should remain open, see here: https://pastorsacademy.org/blog/why-churches-must-gather-for-corporate-worship/.If you are a Christian or otherwise looking for an open church in England, or if you have a church you'd like to list, please go to https://uklockdownchurches.wordpress.com.Esther's blog can be found at https://www.patheos.com/blogs/youngfogey/ and she goes by @EstherOfReilly on Twitter.

In this episode, FreedomWire discusses the Great Anti-Conservative Purge. What started with Donald Trump being banned from social media has quickly moved forward to include other conservatives, campaigns, companies, and movements. Anything that challenges the Left is disappearing…and no one knows how to stop it. The Capitol Hill Riot gave the Left what they've been waiting for: a chance for a full-frontal assault on Conservatism. But what will this mean for America and Conservatives going forward? The team also discusses how the Capitol Hill siege is being described by both sides of the political aisle. Was this an American Reichstag Fire or an American Night of Broken Glass? It all depends on which side of the aisle you sit on. But if this is how the Left is acting before Biden has even been sworn into power, what else could the future hold for us?

Before George W. Bush was sworn in, Lyndon LaRouche forecast that there would be a "Reichstag Fire" event, which would open the door for "secret government" crisis management ops, leading to wars and the imposition of dictatorial powers. Today, there are new warnings, presented at public events of LaRouchePAC, that we are again facing such threats, including possibly a military coup against President Trump, at a moment of greater strategic tension than that preceding the Cuban Missile Crisis. Given the record for accuracy of LaRouche and his movement, shouldn't you get active now, to defeat the War Hawks who are hijacking presidential authority to pursue their wars?

Sports are back with the NBA restart and MLB opening day earlier this past week. Mike and Luke share their opinions on the MLB's handling of opening ceremonies and the Black Lives Matter movement. Based on Luke's past week's reading in BONHOEFFER, the guys talk about the growing threat to religious freedom and discuss the role of the church in relating to the state. The guys end this episode briefly discussing the comparisons many on the left are making today between Trump and Hitler. The guys surprisingly agree that there is validity in the comparison, at least on the surface.

In Episode 54 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg explores the twin threats of a totalitarian order that the United States faces at this history-making moment: Trump-fascism, perhaps to be lubricated by a "Reichstag Fire" scenario ahead of the November election, and a post-pandemic "new normality" of complete surveillance and social control. Eerily predictive of these twin dystopias are two works of "future fiction" from the 20th century—It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis and The Machine Stops by EM Forster. With the Black Lives Matter uprising deepening the ugly backlash from the Trump camp and a COVID-19 "second wave" looming, the US is poised on a razor's edge between long-overdue leaps of social progress and descent into some kind of updated American variant of fascism.

President Trump has seized on the nationwide protest movement that followed the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer to advance his most authoritarian political instincts. This week he threatened to deploy the military to cities whose leaders were unable to contain the violence themselves. Could this be an inflection point in his presidency? And is it time to finally use the F-word in discussing Trump? Fascism scholar Ruth Ben-Ghiat joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss.

We are in a horrific time and it’s not going to be easy, but we are grateful for the brave Americans who continue to embrace free speech and free assembly despite a pandemic and a vicious regime.

In Episode 49 of the CounterVortex podcast Bill Weinberg discusses the grim political implications of the COVID-19 outbreak and resultant hysteria. Even before the outbreak, China had detained perhaps upwards of a million ethnic Uighurs in concentration camps as a "counter-terrorist" measure. Under emergency measures imposed in response to the outbreak, a staggering half-billion people have been placed under lockdown in Hubei and surrounding provinces. Italy has now just imposed a similar lock-down, affecting 16 million people in the country's north. Here in the United States, where Trump is building an incipient concentration camp system for detained migrants, the White House has thus far been trying to downplay the COVID-19 threat—as Xi Jinping did before the depth of the crisis became inescapable. If such a point is reached here as well, the posture of the Trump administration could change fast—with potential for sweeping lockdowns, mass internment of targeted populations, and even exploitation of the crisis as a "Reichstag Fire" to throw or suspend the 2020 elections. The coronavirus hysteria could be a terrifying advance for the global detention state, and progressives must urgently formulate a response. Listen on SoundCloud, and support our podcast via Patreon.

We adjust our sun dials to review government subterfuge and mystical monuments. We dive into German governmental history with the Reichstag Fire of 1933 and how it became the archetype for "False Flag" attacks. Then we move west to England to discuss the building of Stonehenge and how the magical figure(s?) Merlin played a role in its development.

1933's Reichstag fire is perhaps the most pivotal moment in the rise of the Nazi Party to power in Germany. The burning of the Reichstag allowed Adolf Hitler and the leading Nazi elite to consolidate their power, passing the Reichstag Fire Decree and the Enabling Act of 1933 that would strip away the fundamental rights of German citizens, and give Adolf Hitler the power of both the presidency and the chancellorship. In the second part of our "Nazi Conspiracy" series, we take a look at the Reichstag Fire and the fall out from the event, and discuss Marinus van der Lubbe, the alleged arson responsible for starting the fire.

Hitler and Nazi Germany - The Reichstag Fire

How do you turn a democracy into a dictatorship while maintaining a thin veneer of legitimacy? Hitler and the Nazi party pulled out all the stops to turn the Weimar Republic into a totalitarian machine. The Reichstag Fire in early 1933 gave the Nazis all the justification they needed to incinerate the human values of compassion and decency.  This is the final part in a four part series on the Rise of Nazi Germany. You might want to listen to the other episodes to get more context. Or maybe not. This episode deals with the implications of the Reichstag Fire and Hitler's methodical process of bending Germany to his will.  Support the podcast: https://www.patreon.com/reflectinghistory Reflecting History on Twitter: @reflectinghist If you like the podcast and have 30 seconds to spare, consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts...It helps!

Timothy Snyder is the first guest on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is an award-winning professor of history at Yale University and author of numerous books including Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin as well as Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning. His newest book is On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. This is Professor Snyder's second appearance on The Chauncey DeVega Show. His first conversation with Chauncey DeVega about Trump's election and the potential for a coup and a fascist regime was read several million times at the online magazine Salon and also shared almost 300,000 times on Facebook. That episode of the podcast was also listened to and downloaded more than 20,000 times.  During this episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, Professor Snyder and Chauncey evaluate the health of American democracy after eight months of Trump as president, discuss how the recent white supremacist terrorism in Charlottesville could potentially fit into Trump's plans for authoritarianism in America, if Charlottesville was a "Reichstag Fire" moment, and how the rule of law is threatened by Trump's regime. Professor Snyder also explains the historical antecedents and disturbing echoes of the white supremacist and neo-Nazi hate festival in Charlottesville relative to their origins in Nazi Germany. This week's podcast also features Professor Cedric Johnson. He is the author/editor of several books including Revolutionaries to Race Leaders: Black Power and the Making of African American Politics, as well as The Neoliberal Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, Late Capitalism and the Remaking of New Orleans.  Dr. Johnson is also an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and African-American Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. During this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, Cedric and Chauncey discuss the new movie Detroit, the accuracy of its depiction of that city's racial rebellion, how the civil rights movement is presented by Hollywood, and share some thoughts on the problematic racial essentializing politics of the much discussed and highly praised film Get Out. On this week's show, Chauncey DeVega demands accountability from those people who are in denial about the threat posed by Donald Trump, shares a story about filming a documentary, and explains how today's black conservatives are a modern day version of the black people who helped the Ku Klux Klan in the American South after slavery.

In early 1933, Adolf Hitler was Chancellor of Germany but he had very little, actual power. How did the Nazis sieze control of the German state? That long road started with a fire in the Reichstag.

In episode 3, I take a look at the Reichstag fire from the perspective of modern firefighting while making use of the latest historical research and newly accessible primary sources.

Facts about the ways in which the Nazis consolidated their power in Germany, focusing on the Reichstag Fire and its impact

Richard Moore is the author of Escaping the Matrix-- How We the People Can Change the World. He talks about the 6000 years of the history of civilization which, in human history, is a story of ever evolving hierarchical systems ruled by elites arriving now at the point there is one regime that can rule the world. "Civilized" man is synonymous with "domesticated' man-the 'masses' do the work, fight the wars to consolidate the take-over of others and consolidate empire. Since it's "we the people" who care about ourselves Moore thinks that the only way we're going to take care of ourselves and our welfare in these challenging times is by creating a truly democratic society for ourselves.One of the main points Moore wants to make in this interview is that things are almost never as they seem. He talks about the 20th century--just before WWI a strategy was formed by Britain and the US based on their understanding that when they control the buying and selling of oil they also control global finance and then control the world. About 1928 they made an agreement and set up a collaborative scheme (a cartel) for exploiting the oil industry which is basically a British American operation and it's still going. There also was collaboration all through the war between Nazi's and US financial interests. Ford, GM and other US companies were in Germany throughout WWII where they were manufacturing weapons which were used against American Troops. When supplies of oil were needed sometimes they'd be given to US and sometimes to Germany. The US and Britain also got together with the English and US bankers prior to the war to create the Federal reserve System in order to fund the war effort. President Roosevelt had to confiscate some of Prescott Bush's companies under the trading with the enemy act since he was one of the main people to handle the Nazi finances. There's a direct connection through the Bushes and they're really re-building the Nazi regime in the USA. 9/11 is a direct replay of the Reichstag Fire that started WWII. The names they're using like "homeland security" are patterned on the Nazis. The IMF (International Monetary Fund which used to be the Bank of London) and the World Bank were set up to control global finances and are controlled by the US and Britain as an extension of their banking systems while the United Nations is getting transformed into something that is really an extension of US foreign policy. All this was orchestrated and the "matrix" is, among other things, what people take for history-i.e., what we read in history books about personalities and other lies when, in truth, it's the bankers and their story that is determining things-- the lies that the powers that be think need to be told in order to get people to go along with their plans. Moore says the UN is a vehicle to create a world government and take sovereignty away from all nations.Moore's websites are: cyberjournal.org and escapingthematrix.org.Recorded: November 2006.

Wayne Madsen, of http://waynemadsenreport.com, is a courageous investigative journalist and syndicated columnist whose articles have appeared in publications such as In These Times, The Miami Herald, and the Village Voice. Madsen has appeared on 20/20, 60 Minutes and Nightline. He is the author of Genocide and Covert Operations in Africa 1993-1999 and the Handbook of Personal Data Protection. He was a former Officer in the US Navy. He writes from Washington, DC-"inside the Beltline". In this interview Madsen speaks about the extensiveness of pedophelia in the church and among politicians. In the Navy he was involved in prosecuting someone but it was covered up. It has been and continues to be an on-going problem for the Republican Party though and there have been many scandals. Now we have Mark Foley misusing his office and soliciting under age pages while hiding behind his cause of lost children. This scandal which includes the Speaker of House and other top Republican Staff officials and Senior Staff members in the Republican Party Scandal is not over and is going to continue into the Office of RNC Chairman and into the White House itself and into some of the offices of top advisors of Pres. Bush.Madsen mentions that there are many "conspiracies" and that, like the US Government gets the Mafia for "conspiracy", we should be able to get the government for "criminal conspiracy", including murder. It is said that the Republicans are in such control that the Democrats in Congress don't even know where the committee meetings are being held and decisions are being made. Madsen cites an example of Democrats making a caucus and the Sargeant of Arms calling police to break up the meeting and threaten to arrest them. The records will show shocking things about how Congress has been eroding our rights rather than protecting them. He points out that the Patriot Act which was pushed through Congress right after 911 is very similar to the Enabling Act invoked in Germany after the Reichstag Fire which was set by the German government and was the beginning of WWII. It takes away our rights as does even more the Military Commissions Act which takes away even our right of habeus corpus which we've had since 1215 under Magna Carta and is as basic a right as there is. Madsen thinks that the present US Government has gone even farther than Hitler in that it invokes the divine right of kings. Bush can declare anyone in world an enemy combatant and call them before a military commission and have them executed like in Nazi Germany. There are attempts to Since the media is so key in creating what people think it is most important that we are using the independent media-- radio, community television, films, podcasting, the Internet, DVD circulation, the underground press, etc. which "we, the people" control and it's difficult for the state to stop. We can educate people until they see that the "US Government has no clothes".
