Fourth Reich Archaeology

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 Sa...

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...

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...

This week, Dick and Don are back together talking about a topic that seems to have fallen out of the media spotlight lately, but that is more than deserving of serious attention and concern. Deportation numbers are breaking records each month, due process is being whittled away, hundreds of thousands of people are losing legal status with the stroke of a pen based on what country they’re from. Eve...

We are coming at you this week with Side B of Don's discussion with Brother Isaac. In this episode we reprise a theme Don and Isaac have already recorded 2 episodes on on Isaac’s podcast, Coexist, Inc. That’s right, it’s the Jewish Question. This time, rather than diving deep on the theoretical approaches that have been taken to the Jewish Question by Marxists of various stripes over the past 200...

Brother Isaac is back, and this time he’s with Don to reprise a theme the two of them have already recorded 2 episodes on on Isaac’s podcast, Coexist, Inc. That’s right, it’s the Jewish Question. This time, rather than diving deep on the theoretical approaches that have been taken to the Jewish Question by Marxists of various stripes over the past 200 years or so, we dig into the discursive turf o...

We are back with Side B of Propaganda Madness 3, our exploration into the Pentagon’s propagandist-in-chief, Sean Parnell.  This week Don is joined by friend of the pod Matt Farwell who has quite the axe to grind when it comes to Parnell.  Parnell is someone we suspect you may never have heard of, but we think, upon thorough examination, he perfectly encapsulates a certain character type that could...

This week’s episode focuses on the Pentagon’s propagandist-in-chief, Sean Parnell.  Parnell is someone we suspect you may never have heard of, but we think, upon thorough examination, he perfectly encapsulates a certain character type that could only really thrive in the Fourth Reich. Parnell is a self-described victim of “horrific” childhood bullying, which led him to an adolescence and young adu...

Well, it’s been almost 4 months since we’ve issued an episode in our Contra Iran series (not about Iran Contra), and yet it feels like there has been no real change in the status of the so-called “war” in Iran. (Of course, we eschew calling the US/Israeli illegal invasion without provocation a “war” at all.) Things seem trapped in a cycle of - fake ceasefire → stock market bounces → (usually) Isra...

It's our birthday! Hooray for year two! And considering the monumental occasion, we decided it is time, yet again, for some R&R. This week, we shut off our lamps, hang up our hard hats, and take some time to reflect on the past year, the present moment, and what’s to come.  We also take this occasion to revisit a highlight reel of some of our favorite mashups, clips, and cold opens from th...

We are back this week with Side B of our ninth installment of She Harvey Oswald. And as we laid out in Side A, from here on out our series-within-a-series on the two would-be female assassins who set their sites on President Gerald Ford is going to get increasingly and precipitously weirder.  In Side B we pick up just as Sara Jane’s marriage to her suss ass second husband–a Captain in the U.S. Air...

This week we’re back in the hellworld of 2026 where the US government has launched the greatest (if dumbest) crusade against communism in over half a century. We dig into the historical roots of the latest iteration of the red scare and cover the landscape of current anticommunist action from the Trump administration. In particular, we examine how (and why) a generation of anti-Muslim and anti-Ara...

We are back this week with another installment of She Harvey Oswald. Buckle up friends, because from here on out our series-within-a-series on the two would-be female assassins who set their sites on President Gerald Ford is going to get increasingly and precipitously weirder.  In this episode we start with a little scene setting by covering Project Bluebird—that Cold War era CIA backed mind contr...

This week, we take another hard turn into uncharted territory as we welcome Brother Isaac from the Coexist, Inc. Podcast to talk ball. Well, not exactly, but that is the through line in this episode, in which Dick is joined by Isaac to discuss the 2026 World Cup and the mafia that runs it—FIFA. In what we are sure you will find a delightful, refreshing, and entertaining change of pace, Dick and Is...

It’s that time of year again, this time with the pathetic spectacle of Trump-Amerika’s 250th birthday bonanza in the background. But rather than just taking the easy pot-shots at the absolute horror and humiliation on display, we discuss a few of the concrete failures of this “experiment” in “democracy” that inform our consideration of whether there is anything to salvage of the institutions atop...

We are back to our series-within-a-series on the two would-be female assassins who set their sites on Gerald Ford, and we are now getting deep into the second of these–the real “She Harvey Oswald,” Sara Jane Moore (aka Sara Jane Kahn, aka Sally Moore aka Sara Jane Kahn Anderson, just to name a few of her many aliases). Last time, we set up Moore’s Fourth Reich roots with her father’s work in the m...

This week we are honored and humbled to be joined by the legendary Douglas Valentine, author of such noided classics as “The Phoenix Program” - the quintessential work on the CIA’s mass surveillance and assassination program in Vietnam; “Strength of the Wolf” and “Strength of the Pack” - chronicling deep-state involvement in global drug trafficking through control of the drug-enforcement apparatus...

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 he...

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...

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...

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...

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...

This week, we are taking a break from She Harvey Oswald as we prepare to launch the second half of that series-within-a-series focused on its namesake–Spooky Sara Jane Moore–very soon. Meanwhile, we are coming in hot with a fun, cathartic rib-session on Trump’s cabinet of horrors.  As “professionals” practicing law, we often find ourselves conversing with liberal-minded folks who are plenty cynica...

It just so happens that She Harvey Oswald is more timely than ever, as yet another person - Cole Thomas Allen - has been charged under the same statute as our protagonist, Squeaky Fromme, 50 years ago. That's right, there's another fella under the book for "Attempted Assassination of the President of the United States." A federal offense carrying a maximum life sentence. Not even...
