WEBVTT - Introducing: Flashback

0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Received information regarding a massive car bomb exploded outside of

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>a large federal building in downtown Oklahoma City, shattering that building,

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>killing children. Twenty five years ago, Timothy McVeigh killed one

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.799
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty eight people, including nineteen children, with a

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 1>homemade fertilizer bomb in Oklahoma City. McVeigh, who received the

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>death penalty in two thousand and one, was not alone

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>responsible for the worst domestic terror attack in US history.

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>His co conspirator, Terry Nichols, received one hundred and sixty

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>one life sentences for his part. But it goes deeper

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>than that, much deeper. There's another famous figure from history

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.279
<v Speaker 1>whose fingerprints are all over the Oklahoma City bombing, one

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>whose name we usually associate with mass production, not mass murder.

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Henry Ford. In Ford set out to change American culture.

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Ford was King Board, was the most wealthy American ever,

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and nobody says no to that person. Nobody and the

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 1>poisonous ideas Ford spread would start a ticking time bomb

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>that would blow up seventy five years later. I'm Sean

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Braswell and welcome to Flashback, a new podcast about history's

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>unintended consequences From Ozzy. The creators of the thread that

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>aims to bring the pass back to life like never before.

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll be your visiting professor, taking you on a journey

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>through history that will change the way you look at

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the world today. Stories about disastrous turning points, dangerous ideas,

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>crazy coincidences, unsung heroes, and forgotten villains. This is George

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Lincoln Rockwell here on behalf of the white Christian majority

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>of American I think if you had a policeman under

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>every bed in the state of Connecticut, they still could

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>not prove anything. Flashback unveils the hidden connections and forces

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>underlying history that your teachers and professors never told you about.

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>And without the textbooks, exams are note taking, just the

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>most compelling and surprising tales about history and human psychology

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>told by those who know the most about them. Opiate sedatives, laxatives, barbiturates, morphine,

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you name it. He was pumping the fear

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>of foot of this stuff. In the first season of Flashback,

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>we will connect the dots and some of the most incredible,

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>unintended consequences that history has ever unleashed. We'll learn how

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the y m c A inadvertently helped fund global terrorism

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>when there's a lot of profits to be had, illegally

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>questionable curacters will get involved in it, and how a

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>bold effort to address the dust bowl of the Great

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Depression created an even longer lasting environmental problem. Biological science

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>has no good way to predict how these things happen,

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and you'll hear how these unintended outcomes continue to impact

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>our world today. The transmission of ideas is being faciltated

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>at speeds and volumes that are were previous were unthinkable,

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>and what we can do about things. Essentially, we just

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>need to be wary of quick fixes and silver bullets.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>They rarely work out like we think they will. Learn

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.160

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.239

<v Speaker 1>or prove unexpectedly magnificent. On May six, Listen to Flashback
