Fourth Reich Archaeology

Is this real? Our podcast, our humble lil’ spare-time project, has hit 100 episodes. We’re amazed that two guys with no budget and zero experience could earn the support of so many listeners. In this episode, we pause to reflect and celebrate. 
But it is not all fun and games. No, as our long-time listeners will already know full well, there is a great degree of urgency driving our mission over here. We are on the precipice of the last best chance for free-thinking, freedom-seeking human beings to turn the tide against our venal, corrupt, and blood thirsty overlords.  In short, yer boyz got no time to stop and smell the roses. So we take this momentous occasion as an opportunity to revisit some of our foundational principles. The familiar concepts that make up our Fourth Reich Archaeology thesis. Consider this a crash course on the spectacle, the ruling class’s uniparty system, and the US-led global capitalist order’s reliance on the myths of meritocracy, morality, democracy, justice, freedom, and all the lofty and empty ideals that serve as the driving force behind the defense of  Western liberal democracy.  We end this episode by taking a moment to reflect on what each and every one of us can and should do to move towards a better future. 
Seriously, folks, we are blown away by the positive response. Your encouragement to “keep on digging” warms us to the bone. Thank you for being part of the first 100, and here’s to many more!  
Stick around until the end for another banger track from our very own Don (@angletonorchids).

This week we are back with Side B of the first installment in the second portion of She Harvey Oswald where we zero in on the series-within-a-series’ namesake, Sara Jane Moore, aka Sally Moore, aka Sara Jane Kahn. A woman of many names, of many identities, and of many mysteries. 
In this episode, we focus on Sara Jane’s family origins. Just like Squeaky Fromme’s, Sara Jane's origin story is rooted in the global military industrial complex. Whereas Squeaky’s old man worked for Northrup aircraft, Sara Jane’s daddy was a DuPont man in West Virginia’s “chemical valley,” dubbed “cancer valley” by the long-suffering locals. And DuPont played an instrumental role in not only the allied victories in the two world wars, but also in the technological advancement of the Nazi regime that popped off old WWII in the first place. 
It’s a tangled web we weave, and one that takes some time to develop, but when you see the full picture, we are confident you’ll be as awed as we’ve been to uncover all the multifarious connections that make this story one of the most compelling in all of Jerryworld.

We are taking a hard turn this week and covering a topic that we would ordinarily have no business covering: sports. Or, more specifically, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The immediate reason for doing a UFC episode is the upcoming “Freedom 250” fight extravaganza set to take place on the White House Lawn, at the express invitation of Donald Trump, for which UFC CEO Dana White has gone on a media promotion tour. 
It would be one thing if White was promoting the event amongst the typical UFC-friendly media outlets in the Joe Rogan manosphere, but he is branching out to the mainstream liberal media in a fascinating way. In this episode, we analyze White’s interviews with liberal outlets like NPR, the New Yorker, and the Breakfast Club, among others. To us, it looks a lot like Dana White and the UFC are serving as a bridge to create a new Blue-Brown alliance between MAGA and a liberal establishment coming to grips with the fact that the hard right MAGA movement now IS the Republican Party, and it’s not going away anytime soon. 
As we cover in the episode, it’s no surprise that the UFC has become a cultural bandage poised to heal the breach between left and right as we collectively stumble into ever-lower depths of hell. It reflects the classic American values of brutality, faux-equality of opportunity, and the myth of might makes right. Besides titillating audiences with the spectacle of bloodsport, of course. BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE!!! The history and ownership structure of the UFC places it at the beating heart of the Fourth Reich: it’s rooted in the military industrial propaganda complex, it’s passed through the skeezy filth of off-strip Las Vegas and Trump’s Atlantic City, and it’s now a global property held by a consortium of private equity capital fronted by Rahm Emanuel’s brother, Ari, the Hollywood super-agent who straddles the line between Clintonite neoliberalism and Trumpian fascism. Ari Emanuel was also the inspiration for “Entourage” protagonist Ari Gold.
We dig into this incredibly rich tapestry that weaves together multiple nodes in the ruling class nexus that’s driving us all off a cliff of insanity and have a few laughs along the way. You won’t want to miss it.

This week we are again taking a break from our historical excavations for an intervention into current events. Our venal overlords and their propaganda apparatus wants you illiterate. They want you to be cognitively unable to think about multiple facets of American imperialism at once, unable to make connections between world events, and ultimately unable to do anything to stop, punish, or prevent their continuous crimes against humanity. But Fourth Reich Archaeology seeks to be your antidote to their mind poison, so this week we’re going on a hemispheric world tour to take stock of what we and other comrades have been calling “Operation Condor 2.0” - the American (and Israeli) project to squash any signs of popular sovereignty, democratic self-government, or economic independence in “America’s back yard.”
We begin our discussion in Cuba, where the U.S. has been seeking to overthrow the revolutionary government ever since it won power under the leadership of Fidel Castro over 65 years ago. Under the corrupt imperialistic worm-infested regime of President Donald Trump, the U.S.’s war against the Cuban people has ramped up exponentially. The fully prone propagandist media is now peddling lies reminiscent of the type of false flags contemplated by Operation Northwoods, which President JFK rejected way back in the early 60s. We cover the absurd “Cuban drones” scare, as well as the outrageous indictment leveled against the 94-year-old Raul Castro for the crime of defending Cuban sovereignty from CIA-backed terrorists. Trump’s government of sickos is likely going to murder, torture, and humiliate the revolutionary icon to provoke a pretext for more violence against the Cuban people. More than ever, we need to speak out in solidarity.
We then move down South America way to discuss the tragic capitulation of the remnants of the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela to the U.S. empire, as well as the Bolivian people’s struggle against right-wing austerity and the imperial plot to murder former indigenous President Evo Morales. Then it’s up to central america, specifically Honduras, where leaked audio–largely suppressed in the U.S. media–shows the country’s rightwing political elite openly conspiring to enrich American multinational corporations to return Donald Trump’s favor of tipping the country’s elections to the far right and freeing narco-ex-president Juan Orlando Hernandez. The recordings also discuss manipulating the media on an international scale to weaponize information against “left” governments like those in power in Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia. 
Behind all of this neocolonial maneuvering is the same old cast of characters. The powers behind the throne. Peter Thiel and the tech-mafia are actively pulling strings to immiserate the people of latin america, enslave them in “special economic development zones,” and destroy their natural environment through the unregulated expansion of extractive and polluting industries, including data centers. 
This is a pretty bleak episode for the bleak times we’re living in. We can’t wait for 2028 - no presidential election will solve the crisis the fascist ruling class is imposing on the entire world. We need solidarity, we need knowledge, and we need action. And fast.

Without further ado, we are back with the first installment in the second portion of She Harvey Oswald where we zero in on the series-within-a-series’ namesake, Sara Jane Moore, aka Sally Moore, aka Sara Jane Kahn. A woman of many names, of many identities, and of many mysteries. 
In keeping with the Fourth Reich Archaeology promise to dig deep while also keeping our eyes on the present day, much of this episode (and the bulk of Side A thereof, which is available for free) is spent setting the stage, recapping not only where we left off in our narrative around the political violence of the 1970s, but indeed recapping the whole Fourth Reich trajectory dating all the way back to the Paris Peace Conference at Versailles following World War I where the American hegemony that marked the 20th century was conceived. 
It’s no accident that we ground the Sara Jane Moore story in Versailles. As you’ll see, Sara Jane’s family origins - just like Squeaky Fromme’s - are rooted in the global military industrial complex. Whereas Squeaky’s old man worked for Northrup aircraft, Sara Jane’s daddy was a DuPont man in West Virginia’s “chemical valley,” dubbed “cancer valley” by the long-suffering locals. And DuPont played an instrumental role in not only the allied victories in the two world wars, but also in the technological advancement of the Nazi regime that popped off old WWII in the first place. 
It’s a tangled web we weave, and one that takes some time to develop, but when you see the full picture, we are confident you’ll be as awed as we’ve been to uncover all the multifarious connections that make this story one of the most compelling in all of Jerryworld. So strap on in for the first leg of what promises to be a wild ride.
