Fourth Reich Archaeology

SPOILER ALERT!! This week we are pleased to welcome back returning guest, Brother Isaac, of Coexist, Inc. podcast to discuss the Biggest Movie of the Year: Nathan Fielder’s pseudo-documentary “You Can See Everything.” We do talk about the movie itself, so if you hate spoilers and haven’t seen it yet, maybe wait a bit to listen.
We explore many of the discursive threads that have sprung out of the film including the obvious question of Liz’s and Billy’s respective degrees of culpability, but we also bring in the Fourth Reich lens and discuss the possibility that the whole Theranos scam was a spectacular sacrifice of one tech grifter for the survival and prosperity of thousands more, who continue to rake in money hand over foot on equally specious promises. Is Elizabeth Holmes a patsy? Lis Holmsey Oswald? Is she a criminal mastermind? A mind-control/grooming victim? Autistic? 
It’s a fun ride and our first ever movie episode. We hope you’ll enjoy it!

This week we step back out of our historical narrative and into the present day once more. But fear not, this is not yet one more election episode regurgitating the same basic talking points about what to expect from the midterms. Instead, we zoom out and look at the whole electoral charade as Spectacle, asking not what policies are up to a vote, but rather what narratives are being promoted as the two permissible poles for popular discourse.
We promise we’re not libbing out, but we are encouraging people to think practically about how this moment of utter overreach and unpopularity on the extreme right has created a political vulnerability that an organized left could exploit. Just think about it!
We hope you enjoy.

This week we are picking up where we left off in our ongoing series within a series about the two women who, in September 1975, pointed their pistols at President Gerald R. Ford.  Our focus in this series as of late has been on the second of these two female assassins, the one who actually took a shot at the accidental president, Sara Jane Moore.  
In this episode, we continue our discussion of Sara Jane’s husband #3, John O. Aalberg, the 10-time Oscar nominee and RKO executive Sara Jane lovingly called “Big John.”  Now, this is Fourth Reich Archaeology, so you know that we couldn’t really paint a complete picture of John Aalberg without diving a little deep into RKO, his longtime employer, and its eccentric owner, the aviator himself, Howard Hughes. It’s got the Fourth Reich written all over it.
And that’s not all folks! In the second half of this episode, we read directly from Sara Jane’s 1979 prison interview transcript, with excerpts we humbly submit put together the pieces and show that not everything is what it seems when it comes to John Aalberg. In fact, nothing is what it seems.  Because according to Sara Jane herself, Big John was not just an academy man, but also a company man. 
So get out your Vistavision glasses, ladies and gentlemen. It is time to go to the movies!

We are back to our series-within-a-series, She Harvey Oswald (a Jerryworld Series). And boy are we excited. When we last left her, Sara Jane Moore had dumped husband #2, Sydney Manning, and sent her three kids from her California home back to her parents in West Virginia. This week we move on to husband #3, still in Southern California–indeed, in Hollywood!--the RKO Pictures sound wizard, 10-time Oscar nominee, John O. Aalberg. In Side A, we gave the “official narrative” of Sara’s and “Big John’s” romance, drawing largely on Geri Spieler’s biography of Moore. Now it’s time to dig beneath the surface…
John Aalberg was a veteran of WWI and lifelong mega-patriot. He perfected a recording technology in 1928 that enabled precise and easy cutting of sound in films. One of the technologies that bridged the gap to the widespread adoption of talking pictures. But moviemakers aren’t the only people interested in recording and editing technology: Aalberg was recruited to the Army to assist its pictographic works during WWII (in fact, starting even before Pearl Harbor by several months). And he remained involved in the armed services during the Cold War as well, besides busying himself as a reserve member of the LA County Sherriff’s Office as a literal “posse” member.
It’s a great tale and we think you’ll like it. It’s got material and connections that have really not been reported before, and we thank you ever so kindly for supporting our work! We couldn’t do it without you.

We are back to our series-within-a-series, She Harvey Oswald (a Jerryworld Series). And boy are we excited. When we last left her, Sara Jane Moore had dumped husband #2, Sydney Manning, and sent her three kids from her California home back to her parents in West Virginia. We had questioned whether “Syd” might have been a handler of some kind, considering that (1) he was a psychiatric professional working in a facility while she was a patient undergoing treatment and analysis, (2) he was 17 years her senior, (3) he knew her only a short time before tying the knot, and (4) she had exhibited abnormal psychology, suffering fainting spells and bouts of amnesia, making her an ideal subject for just the type of experiments the CIA was doing at the time under Project Bluebird.
This week we move on to husband #3, still in Southern California–indeed, in Hollywood!--the RKO Pictures sound wizard, 10-time Oscar nominee, John O. Aalberg. We begin by giving the “official narrative” of Sara’s and “Big John’s” romance, drawing largely on Geri Spieler’s biography of Moore. Even the truncated and largely superficial story told by Spieler is interesting if, for no other reason, it is pretty wild that Sara Jane Moore was married to the guy who did the sound for Citizen Kane! And if you are listening on the free feed, that is where we leave things off. There’s more at Patreon, otherwise, you’ll have to wait to hear the rest of the story…
