WEBVTT - The Next American Genocide 

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:06.680
<v Speaker 1>We often talk about the system in purely negative terms.

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:08.719
<v Speaker 1>This is actually a thing the left and the right

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>seemed to share. In America. Only the ever vanishing center

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>expresses much faith in the system. And even then you

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:16.439
<v Speaker 1>won't find a lot of folks who will happily cheer

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the bureaucracy that runs so much of our government. It's slow, unwieldy,

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>my opoic at best, and heartlessly inhuman at its worst.

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:27.159
<v Speaker 1>To increasing numbers of Americans, the system is one of

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the great evils of our modern era. The American militia

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>movement was first incited by Ruby Ridge and the burning

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>of the Branch Davidian compounded Waco. But rather than laying

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 1>blame on specific individuals and the bad choices they made,

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>many Americans blamed the federal government as a monolithic entity.

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Tim McVeigh didn't bomb the A. T. F S Headquarters

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>or the Pentagon, or try to assassinate a bunch of congressmen.

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>He bombed a federal building. Even if you aren't actively

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>cleaning a gun and your bunker, laughing to yourself at

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>how I'm surely a stooge of the New World Order.

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Your view of bureaucracy as unlikely to be a charitable one.

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to defend to say the FBI or

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>even the d m V here. I've got issues with

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>both organizations myself, and as somebody with libertarian anarchistic tendencies,

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>I've always been hesitant to give any credit to bureaucracy.

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.759
<v Speaker 1>But then I read a book called Black Earth by

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Timothy D. Snyder. He's a professor of history at Yale

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 1>University and his specialty is the Holocaust. Professor Snyder is

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.639
<v Speaker 1>hands down one of the greatest minds in his field.

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>His work is impeccably researched, in mind bogglingly thorough, and

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>in Black Earth, he argues that bureaucracy did more than

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 1>just about anything else to save lives during the Holocaust.

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>During his research, Professor Snyder found that the Jewish communities

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>that saw the most complete eradication in Europe were the

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>ones and locations that suffered from what he calls double

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>state destruction. I e. Poland was conquered by the Nazis

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and the Soviets. They basically split it down the middle,

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>so the Polish state was destroyed. Then Germany invaded and

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>wiped out the Soviet government in Poland, so the state

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>was destroyed twice. According to Professor Snyder quote, Germans found

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the conditions where one could do as one pleased, where

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>they could kill Jews in large numbers for the first

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>time in nineteen forty one, as they invaded the Soviet Union.

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>It was in the zone of double occupation where Soviet

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 1>rule preceded German, where the Soviet destruction of interwar states

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>was followed by German annihilation of Soviet institutions, that a

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>final solution took shape. Almost all of the two million

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>or so Jews who came under German rule in nineteen

0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine would die. The same was true of the

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>two million Jews who came under Soviet rule in nineteen

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine and nineteen forty. Indeed, the Jews who initially

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>fell under Soviet rule were the first to be murdered

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>on Moss by the Germans. France, on the other hand,

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't really have its state destroyed. The Germans took over,

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of the underlying bureaucracy was left in

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 1>place because it would have been just way too much

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>trouble to rebuild from the ground up, and this left

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the Jews and other targeted minority groups in France with

0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>more options. According to Snyder quote, sidisanship in modern states

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>means access to bureaucracy. Bureaucracy has the reputation of killing Jews.

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>It would be closer to the truth to say that

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>it was the removal of bureaucracy that killed Jews. So

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>long as state sovereignty persisted, so did limits and possibilities

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>afforded by bureaucracy. In most offices, time is slowed and

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>matters are considered, perhaps with the help of practitions or bribes.

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 1>When people in sovereign states beyond Germany wish to be noble,

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>bureaucracy provided them with the opportunity to frame their arguments

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>on behalf of individual Jews in the pragmatic or patriotic

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>terms that employees of the state could understand and endorse.

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>The bureaucracies beyond Germany also exhibited the typical tendencies of

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>passing the buck, awaiting clear orders from higher authorities, and

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>insisting on clarity of expression and proper paperwork. Many of

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the things that make bureaucracies annoying and daily life could

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and did mean survival for Jews. When government's collapse, they

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>leave vacuums, and those vacuums are often filled by not

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>just another government, by the collected hate and rage of

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the most bigoted citizens in those areas. Is The rise

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>of Isis in Iraq is a fantastic example of that.

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>The governments in Syria and Iraq had degraded enough that

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>a large insurgent force was able to gain purchase, and

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>once they were dominant in a region, they just started

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>murdering all the groups of people they've been whining about

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>for years. Imagine you live somewhere in the Bible Belt,

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.679
<v Speaker 1>a place like Georgia or Oklahoma, or even further south

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>in Texas. For some of you, this won't require much imagination.

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Once the fighting starts, once cities are convulsed with protests

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and roads start being bombed and cops start being shot,

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>normal order will, as we've discussed, break down. If you

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>grew up in that part of the world, the South,

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>it shouldn't be hard to imagine that local megachurches would

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>slide into help provide order in stability. In other less

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>religious areas, forms of libertarian municipalism may take place, as

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 1>we discussed a couple episodes back where there backed by churches,

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>local councils, or communes. Most of these autonomous zones will

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>be broadly a political focused on the immediate tasks of

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>defense and ensuring survival in a decent standard of life.

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Ideology will matter less than getting shipped done on a

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>day to day basis. But some parts of this nation

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 1>will be dominated by ideology. And if we're looking at

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>extremest ideologies that are already most dominant in the United States,

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>we inevitably wind up at Christian fundamentalism. In two thousand seventeen,

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 1>when judge Roy Moore won the Alabama Republican primary, he

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 1>credited God for his win. Now that on its own

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>is not so strange. In fact, it's pretty normal. But

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the more you look into Roy Moore, the more his

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>version of God looks uncomfortably similar to the God worshiped

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>by Isis. I'd like to quote from a scene in

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>an article about comments More made while speaking at the

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Open Door Baptist Church about the nine eleven attacks. He

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>quoted Isaiah thirty twelve thirteen, which some fundamentalist claim predicted

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the attacks because you have despised his word in trust,

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 1>in perverseness and oppression, and say thereon Therefore, this iniquity

0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>will be to you as a breach ready to fall,

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>swell out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>at an instance. After citing this, More said, sounds a

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit like the Pentagon, whose breaking came suddenly at

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 1>an instance, doesn't it? If you think that's coincident. If

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you go to verse twenty five, there should be up

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>every high mountain, and upon every hill, rivers and streams

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 1>of water in the day of the Great Slaughter, when

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the towers will fall. You know, we've suffered a lot

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>in this country, maybe, just maybe because we've distanced ourselves

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>from the one that has it within his hands to

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>heal this land. A few minutes later into his speech,

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>More made it clear how he thought the United States

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:24.279
<v Speaker 1>had distanced itself from God. We legitimize sodomy and legitimize abortion.

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>More obviously lost that congressional race to the Democrat, but

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 1>only barely, and only because it turned out he was

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>a serial sexual harasser of young girls, and even then

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>he beat the mainstream Republican endorsed by President Trump for

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 1>his primary slot. The scariest thing, however, is that by

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the standards of many prominent Southern Christian nationalists. Roy Moore

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 1>is a moderate. Here's North Carolina Pastor Charles Warley, speaking

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand twelve. Build up great, big, large, fierce,

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred fifth year, a hundred mile long cut all the

0:06:55.880 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Langmans in there, fly over and drop some food. Do

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the same thing where the Choyers and the homosexuals and

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>have that fisce electrified. They can't get out freedom and

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know how in a few years they'll die out. Now,

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>this speech, of course caused an uproar and drew widespread condemnation.

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>But you know what else happened. More than a thousand

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>people rallied to support Pastor Warley. He received a standing ovation.

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Here's Preacher Matt Powell, a young want to be Christian

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>YouTube personality, speaking in two thousand eighteen. I'm very radical.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean a lot of people ask me, you know,

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people tell me all the time, Oh,

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>you're so radical. I'm very I'm very radical Christian, very conservative.

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I believe that one of the reasons

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that our country is actually going downhill is because the

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>conservative Christians are actually being kicked out of the White House,

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, and the morals that our country are founded

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>on and as far as homosexuality goes, you know, I

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>believe the Bible puts the death penalty on it. I

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>believe it's I believe it's disgusting. In two thousand seventeen,

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Houston was hit by some apocalyptic floods. Minister Kevin Swanson,

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.679
<v Speaker 1>a piece of ship, blame these floods on gay people,

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>saying Houston's very, very aggressively pro homosexual mayor had brought

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>God's wrath upon the city. He said this on his

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>radio show. Jesus sends the message home. Unless Americans repent,

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 1>unless Houston repents, unless New Orleans repents, they will all

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>likewise perish. That is the message that the Lord Jesus

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Christ is sending home right now to America. No, all

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>this rhetoric occurred in relatively peaceful, not a war zone America.

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Just think how much more violent the rhetoric and the

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>actions of these kinds of people would be in the

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>event of a second American Civil War. Gay and trans

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>folks are already scapegoat a anytime something terrible happens anywhere

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>in this country. If the nation itself was thrown into

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.719
<v Speaker 1>violent turmoil, is it such a stretch to imagine fundamentalists

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.839
<v Speaker 1>deciding God wants them to punish such sinners. A few

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>episodes ago, on the episode about how to Save America,

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I played you some excerpts from one of Alex Jones's

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.559
<v Speaker 1>shows where he talked about his belief that the drag

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Queen Story Hour was really just a quoi scheme to

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 1>make it easier for queer people to abduct and abused children.

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Well later in that episode he went further, let a

0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 1>child grow a little, have some love, have some parents,

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and be a good little person, and then they can

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>get him in a dark pit. Oh and then it's

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>so good the energy these demons suck off your child.

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>It's so much better than just giving him cancer, because

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, the parents are there when the child's dying

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>from the cancer from the vaccine, and so they still

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>have love, and it's just not as special. But to

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>have him in those dungeons all alone, and then all

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the guys in clown off, it's pulled back when Dracula

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 1>comes in and they're licking their lips and they're scared

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>of Dracula. A lot of them gotta be used by Dracula,

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>and but they're still hoping for a little bit of

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>that blood, and then Dracula goes in there and rips

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.439
<v Speaker 1>that child to pieces and drinks that blood and takes

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 1>their guts and just racks it and then leaves. And

0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 1>then the vampire minions just run and just lick the

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 1>blood off the altar, lick the blood off the altar.

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>And then Dracula's women come in, all the porn stars,

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>all the sexy women I want to live forever, and

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>they come in and they just eat little pieces of

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>their feet and arms. Rabble. That's probably enough of that now,

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>just so I'm being completely open, Alex wasn't just implicating

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>gay people in the child blood sacrificed thing. He thinks

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.679
<v Speaker 1>the whole Democratic Party is basically complicit in this scheme

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>to sacrifice children, but he definitely singles LGBT people out

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>as foot soldiers in that effort. Sometime around the fifth century,

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 1>a d a rumor began to spread around the more

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 1>bigoted chunks of Christendom. It claimed that Jewish rabbis would

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>semi regularly kidnap and sacrifice Christian children in order to

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>consume their blood. Now, this is just literally the wrongest

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 1>to think and be a huge amount of Jewish religious

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>law is actually based around the fact that human sacrifice

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>is explicitly banned. This is one of the things that

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 1>separated ancient Jews from Pagans. But over the centuries, this

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 1>lie was passed down and spread from nation to nation.

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 1>It became known as the blood Libel. By the time

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen twenties rolled around, it grew into a powerful

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>part of the developing Nazi ethos. As early as nineteen

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty six, not the newspaper Der Sturmer wrote lurid stories

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>of the blood Libel as a way to convince Germans

0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that Jewish people were a direct danger to their children.

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>When you believe a group of people is abducting and

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>sacrificing literal babies, that makes it a lot easier to

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>justify murdering them, doesn't it. Here's Alex Jones one more time.

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:26.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, vengeance is God's. Vengeance is God's but God

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:32.439
<v Speaker 1>has instruments of vengeance. That's always a twist to the riddle.

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 1>And Southern globalists expect to try to terrorize us. We're

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>not on these poor kids. You got strung out one

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of your dodgeons. We're going to terrorize you now, Jones

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 1>is a nut, clearly, but that's no reason to not

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.320
<v Speaker 1>take his calls for violence seriously. There's horrifying precedent for

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>conspiratorial nuts on the radio inciting literal genocide. It happened

0:11:55.720 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>in Rwanda on April six who to President Habiarimana was assassinated.

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>This triggered a spasm of unspeakable violence, which led to

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the violent murder of more than eight hundred thousand members

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>of the Tutsi ethnic group. Much of this killing did

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 1>not occur at the direction of the government. A huge

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 1>amount of it was spontaneous, and it was all urged

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.560
<v Speaker 1>on by a handful of who to radio personalities who

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 1>directly encourage the violence. I found a Duke University paper

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that analyzed many of the pertinent radio broadcasts. The author,

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Megan Lyon, noted what I found especially interesting about the

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 1>content of these broadcasts was the way in which its

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>efforts to direct the extermination of the Tutsi population was

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 1>paralleled by its efforts to claim authority over the telling

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.559
<v Speaker 1>of history. The radio broadcasts reveal a struggle over who

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 1>gets to tell history, and therefore a struggle over a

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 1>monopoly on truth. We don't fight now Alex Jones and

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 1>his followers certainly view themselves is engaged in a struggle

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>with the mainstream media you, which they see is holding

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>a monopoly on truth. That's why he called his platform

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 1>info Wars. Everyone on this podcast has already heard Jones

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and a number of other figures with sizeable audiences either

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 1>call for violence directly. We'll go right up to the

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>edge of calling for violence. The breakdown of order caused

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>by a second American Civil War will not make any

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>of these people more moderate. That said, I don't think

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you'd see mass murder campaigns against gay people on a

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>national scale. Violence would occur in communities where the state

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 1>retreated an extreme fundamentalist militious to cold in suburbs and cities,

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>they would round up and execute the people they believed

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 1>were responsible for bringing God's wrath upon the United States.

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>It's possible that the federal government, if controlled by a

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 1>right wing regime, would choose to work with some of

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:47.079
<v Speaker 1>these militias, particularly as the military's manpower shortages became increasingly acute.

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 1>We saw a version of this happen in Iraq during

0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the fighting from Mosle, when Sheia militias were allowed to

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.199
<v Speaker 1>fight alongside Iraqi regular army soldiers against the sunny warriors

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>of Isis, and of course, anti LGBT bigotry is far

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:00.719
<v Speaker 1>from the only kind of big tree that exists in

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the United States and that has the potential to be

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a trigger for elimination. As to violence, in the last

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>six months, we've seen two different white supremacist terrorists attacks synagogues.

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>There may well be another attack by the time this

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>episode drops. Anti Semitic violence is as old as Western civilization.

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Much of this podcast is speculative, but one thing we

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>can be absolutely objectively certain of is that a sizable

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 1>number of violent people would blame the collapse of the

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>United States on the Jews. There would be murders and pograms. However,

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 1>from where I'm sitting, the religious minority who would be

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>most threatened by the collapse of order in the US

0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>are American Muslims. During the two thousand eight campaign, John

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>McCain quoted the support of a pastor named Rob Parsley.

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>McCain called Parsley, quote one of the truly great leaders

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide. Now, according

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 1>to ABC News, Quote campaign adds positioned Parsley right behind

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 1>McCain for photographers, apparently unconcerned about Parsley's well established denunciations

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>of the Islamic faith in a book Silent No More,

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and on DVDs of sermons about Islam. Islam is an

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>anti christ religion that attends through violence to conquer the world,

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Parsley says on the DVDs reviewed by ABC News. America

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 1>was founded with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed,

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Parsley says, and I believe September eleventh, two thousand one

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>was a generational call to arms that we can no

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>longer ignore. Bridget Gabriel is a Lebanese American Christian. She

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>founded the organization ACT for America in two thousand eight.

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Today it is the largest anti Muslim organization in the country,

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>according to Naples News. The ACT for America website at

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>one point read tens of thousands of Islamic militants now

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>reside in America, operating in sleeper cells, attending our colleges

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and universities, even infiltrating our government. They are here today,

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>many have been here for years, waiting, preparing now. This

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of rhetoric is staggeringly similar, and in some cases

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.640
<v Speaker 1>identical to the claims Nazi propagandists made about Jewish people

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>in the years leading up to the Holocaust. One central

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Nazi claim was that Jewish Germans could not truly be

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>loyal to Germany, they would always be loyal first and

0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 1>foremost to Judy. As During one lecture, Bridget Gabriel claimed,

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 1>a Muslim quote cannot be a loyal citizen to the

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 1>United States of America. It's not theoretical to say that

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>this sort of language can radicalize people into acts of extermination.

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Six million murdered Jews are proof of where words like

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>these can lead given the right circumstances. In two thousand twelve,

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 1>the n r A hosted retired Lieutenant General William Boykin

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 1>at a speech in Saint Louis. General Boykin is on

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the record for claiming that there should be no mosques

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>in America. The n r A made him the keynote

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>speaker of a prayer breakfast where he stated Islam as

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.320
<v Speaker 1>evil and called it a totalitarian way of life which

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 1>should not be protected under the First Amendment. Now Hispanic

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Americans might be targeted as well. There are already thousands

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of migrants and concentration camps along our southern border. These

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 1>camps are not currently death camps, but people have already

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 1>died in them at a time when the country is

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.960
<v Speaker 1>still stable and wealthy. It is not beyond the pale

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 1>to imagine the government countencing more violence, or at least

0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>worse conditions for those people as the national situation deteriorates.

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.560
<v Speaker 1>One thing that makes me worry, particularly for the fate

0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 1>of Hispanic Americans, is the increase in a very specific

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 1>set of words used by American politicians to describe undocumented immigrants.

0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Researchers at the University of Nevada have found that comparisons

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.639
<v Speaker 1>to vermin and viruses have grown markedly more common in

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 1>the language of right wing politicians. They've also shown that

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the use of this language has a distinct dangerous impact quote.

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.880
<v Speaker 1>When these metaphors are present in a news article that immigrants,

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the more participants identify as American, the more disgusted they

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:35.440
<v Speaker 1>experienced reading the article. As these researchers note, quote media

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 1>can be a powerful shaper of public attitudes towards specific

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.560
<v Speaker 1>social groups. Hitler capitalized on this in Nazi Germany, advocating

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.639
<v Speaker 1>for anti Jewish propaganda in mind comp and creating movies, flyers,

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and other media communications portraying the Jewish people as subhuman,

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>as rats or parasites, that is, vermin infiltrating Aryan society.

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Tutsis were routinely called cockroaches leading up to their genocide

0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 1>by the Jutuos in Rwanda in nine And then, of course,

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.919
<v Speaker 1>there's the possibility of eliminationist violence against America's black population.

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>The history of anti black sentiment in America is literally

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 1>as old as the United States. The history of eliminationist

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 1>anti black rhetoric in this country is thankfully at least

0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit shorter, but killers like Dylan Rufe for

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.440
<v Speaker 1>proof that the desire to murder huge numbers of black

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.040
<v Speaker 1>people has grown more common among the fascist rite in

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.680
<v Speaker 1>recent years. I don't see open elimination as violence against

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Black or Hispanic populations by the government as particularly likely,

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.679
<v Speaker 1>but the growing power of white supremacist militias could pose

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 1>an existential threat to large communities of both groups. Ten

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 1>years ago, a large k k k rally might have

0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:41.240
<v Speaker 1>attracted twenty people. Neo Nazi demonstrations tended to be similarly small,

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.439
<v Speaker 1>but today white supremacists and Nazis of all stripes have

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.880
<v Speaker 1>seen huge surges in both their activity and membership over

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 1>the last ten years. According to the Anti Defamation League,

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 1>seventy three percent of all domestic extremist related killings have

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>been perpetrated by right wing extremists, compared to twenty three

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.919
<v Speaker 1>point four percent perpetrated by terrorists motivated by Salafi jihadism

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 1>and three point two percent by left wing extremism. The

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.399
<v Speaker 1>Center for Strategic and International Studies says that the number

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of far right terrorist attacks has more than quadrupled from

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 1>two thousand sixteen to two thousand seventeen. We have seen

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that scale of surge in again a period of relative

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 1>prosperity and stability. History shows us these French ideologies will

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 1>become more prevalent and attract more members during times of

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>unrest and violence. This is certainly what white supremacists are

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 1>banking on. In two eighteen, their propaganda efforts increased by

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:32.560
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and eighty two percent, leaping from four hundred

0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.679
<v Speaker 1>and twenty one reported incidents of white supremacists propaganda to

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 1>one thousand, one hundred eighty seven over the course of

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.719
<v Speaker 1>a year. Like it or not, the Nazis and their

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:44.080
<v Speaker 1>ideological kin are growing every year. In the unrest of

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 1>a second American Civil war, we can expect their numbers

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and their body count to leap exponentially. We offer a

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.440
<v Speaker 1>white supremacists full target Muslims and Jewish people, as well

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 1>as black and Hispanic Americans. We know this because they've

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.679
<v Speaker 1>been planning to do so longer than most of you

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 1>listening to this have been alive. In the nineteen eighties,

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 1>a neo Nazi terrorist group called The Order carried out

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 1>a series of daring robberies, netting millions of dollars, which

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.879
<v Speaker 1>was used to fund hate groups and their militias around

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.400
<v Speaker 1>the country. These groups were connected via an early computer

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:29.480
<v Speaker 1>network and organized mostly by a fellow named Lewis Beam.

0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Beam presided over a loose alliance of white supremacists and

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Nazi groups with a shocking amount of access to military

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:40.360
<v Speaker 1>grade weaponry, including law rockets, grenade launchers, and fully automatic weapons,

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 1>much of it smuggled with them by their compatriots in

0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the military before they were only partly exposed and taken down.

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Beam and his comrades were anticipating the collapse of the U.

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.280
<v Speaker 1>S Government and planning what they would do after its fall.

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Here's what Beams said to a group of recruits in

0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:59.359
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty. We'll set up our own state here and

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.240
<v Speaker 1>announced that all non whites have twenty four hours to leave.

0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Lots of them won't believe it or won't believe us

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 1>when we say we'll get rid of them, so we'll

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 1>have to exterminate a lot of them the first time around.

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 1>The biggest threat for genocide I see in the United

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 1>States comes after federal power starts to fall and fall

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.679
<v Speaker 1>back from certain areas. Emboldened racists will see that as

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 1>their opportunity to seize a white homeland, and they will

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 1>not hesitate to exterminate anyone they can. Absent a strong

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.880
<v Speaker 1>military to defend members of these minority groups from violence,

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Well established criminal gangs might well represent the best bulwark

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:37.440
<v Speaker 1>against the violence of these neo Nazi militias. We talked

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:39.480
<v Speaker 1>about this a little earlier in the series, the idea

0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:41.719
<v Speaker 1>that gang members might act to raise the temperature due

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 1>to their experience with violence. While gangs are generally vilified,

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:47.719
<v Speaker 1>often rightly so, a lot of histrionic reporting on their

0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 1>crimes ignores the fact that drug dealing and drive by

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:54.040
<v Speaker 1>shootings aren't the only things these organizations do. Gangs tend

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.119
<v Speaker 1>to be tied rather tightly to communities. Their members have

0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.679
<v Speaker 1>deep connections in those communities, and you can bet they

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:03.160
<v Speaker 1>would rise to defend them from outside violence. Now, when

0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 1>most Americans hear the word gang, they probably think about

0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 1>m S. Thirteen, the Crips, or the Bloods. But for

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the purpose of this discussion, I think a much more

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>relevant gang is the almighty Black Peace Stone Nation. The

0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 1>black Stone Nation or black Stone Rangers that they're often called,

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.919
<v Speaker 1>started out as a normal street gang in Chicago in

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen fifties. They have since spread to several other

0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 1>cities and are reputed to have as many as a

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand members nationwide. That makes them a vastly larger

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 1>force than any militia. The black Stone Nation is an

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:32.879
<v Speaker 1>incredibly complicated group, and I will not be able to

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 1>do their history justice in this podcast. It's important you

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:37.840
<v Speaker 1>know that while they are a gang, they get up

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 1>to a hell of a lot more than just you know, crimes.

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:42.359
<v Speaker 1>We've talked quite a bit in this podcast about the

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Great Uprising that occurred after Martin Luther King Junior's assassination

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:47.919
<v Speaker 1>in April of nineteen sixty eight. But we haven't yet

0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:50.120
<v Speaker 1>discussed is how much worse it might have been if

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.200
<v Speaker 1>not for the black Stone Rangers. In two Fiery Days,

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Chicago's West Side was convulsed by vicious rioting. The same

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 1>sort of violence was not, however, seen on the South

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Side of Chicago, even though, according to the song Bad

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Bad Le Roy Brown, it is the baddest part of town.

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>The Chicago Tribune explains why things there stayed peaceful quote

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the public eye. Police relied on South Side

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 1>gangs to keep the peace. According to retired police lieutenant

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Bob Angne, the Blackstone Rangers held up their end of

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:19.439
<v Speaker 1>the bargain, stopping a mob of people from rocking buses

0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:22.160
<v Speaker 1>of students at Mount Carmel High School and gone remembers.

0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 1>The gang also told businesses to whitewash their windows with

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 1>messages like the King is Dead or Long Live the

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:30.879
<v Speaker 1>King for protection. The overwhelming majority of Southside was spared

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.399
<v Speaker 1>because of those Stones. Angn said, I don't know if

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:36.959
<v Speaker 1>history will ever give them credit. This podcast will give

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 1>them credit, Bob, because the Blackstone Rangers and other gangs

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 1>like them represent a sizable force in American society That

0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:45.119
<v Speaker 1>act might act in defense of at least some vulnerable

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.720
<v Speaker 1>minority communities if racist militias decide to try their hands

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:51.840
<v Speaker 1>at some genocide. American gangs have also spent much of

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 1>the less several decades in filtrading the U. S. Military

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.160
<v Speaker 1>for much the same reason neo Nazis do. They want

0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.119
<v Speaker 1>the kind of combat and weapons training that only the

0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 1>military can prove wide. There's actually good reason to believe

0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 1>these guys would kind of wipe the floor with any

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 1>white nationalist militias they came across. For one thing, Most

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 1>of the large neo Nazi and fascist groups we've seen

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 1>rise up in the last few years have been, for

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:15.679
<v Speaker 1>lack of a better word, caddie. They are filled with

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>in fighting and drama fit for the lamest of soap operas. Explicitly,

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 1>criminal gangs tend to deal with much greater threat from

0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement, and by necessity, there are a lot better

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:27.359
<v Speaker 1>and a lot more experienced at functioning on a large

0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:30.439
<v Speaker 1>scale and a disciplined and effective manner. I'm also going

0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to guess that more gang members have firsthand experience with

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:37.160
<v Speaker 1>armed violence than white supremacist militia members. In some ways,

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the Civil War would just be an escalation of the

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:41.879
<v Speaker 1>violence that's gone on for years. Crips and Bloods and

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Blackstone Rangers squaring off against new forged armies of white

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>nationalist and neo Nazi militiamen, many of them led by

0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Aryan Nations members, who would by default be some of

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the most experienced fighters that side had available. It would

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:57.280
<v Speaker 1>be bloody, nightmarish, But in some ways, the people who

0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 1>live in areas with strong gang presences would be hockey

0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 1>without the state's protection, and in a nation filled with

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:11.960
<v Speaker 1>violent racist paramilitaries, the alternative might literally be annihilation. We'll

0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 1>be shoving at the bit awesome, We're going at the

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 1>winter come back and we all gonna flood on coming.

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:20.080
