WEBVTT - Introducing: Flashback

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>The law of unintended consequences is a simple but often

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>misunderstood rule of the universe, and as the world becomes

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 1>more complicated and interconnected, the potential for unexpected and profound

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.079
<v Speaker 1>consequences only grows. You're about to listen to a trailer

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>of my new podcast, Flashback from Ozzie, the creators of

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>The Thread. Flashback is a journey through the hidden connections

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and ripple effects of history. You'll dive into epic stories

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>from policy making to personal lives, from the workplace to

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the environment to the courtroom, and together we'll probe the

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.559
<v Speaker 1>dynamics of unintended consequences and explore the reasons some of

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>our best slaid plans and human history have gone awry.

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>look out for more exclusive content for Thread fans. Coming

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>soon received information regarding a massive car bomb exploded outside

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 1>of a large federal building in downtown Oklahoma City, shattering

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>that building, killing children. Twenty five years ago, Timothy McVeigh

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>killed one hundred and sixty eight people, including nineteen children,

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>with a homemade fertilizer bomb in Oklahoma City. McVeigh, who

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>received the death penalty in two thousand and one, was

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 1>not alone responsible for the worst domestic terror attack in

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>US history. His co conspirator, Terry Nichols, received one hundred

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>and sixty one life sentences for his part. But it

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>goes deeper than that, much deeper. There's another famous figure

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>from history whose fingerprints are all over the Oklahoma City bombing,

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>one whose name we usually associate with mass production, not

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>mass murder. Henry Ford. In Ford set out to change

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>American culture. Ford was King. Ford was the most wealthy

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>American ever, and nobody says no to that person. Nobody

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and the poisonous ideas Ford spread would start a ticking

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.839
<v Speaker 1>time bomb that would blow up seventy five years later.

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm Sean Braswell, and welcome to Flashback, a new podcast

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>about history's unintended consequences from Ozzy the creators of the

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>thread that aims to bring the pass back to life

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>like never before. I'll be your visiting professor, taking you

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>on a journey through history that will change the way

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>you look at the world today. Stories about disastrous turning points,

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>dangerous ideas, crazy coincidences, unsung heroes, and forgotten villains. That

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.959
<v Speaker 1>is George Lincoln Rockwell here on behalf of the white

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Christian majority of American I think if you had a

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>policeman under every bed in the state of Connecticut, they

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>still could not prove anything. Flashback unveils the hidden connections

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>and forces underlying history that your teachers and professors never

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>told you about, and without the textbooks, exams, or note taking,

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>just the most compelling and surprising tales about history and

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>human psychology told by those who know the most about them.

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:25.679
<v Speaker 1>Opiate sedatives, laxatives, barbiturates, morphine, I mean, you name it.

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>He was pumping the fear of foot of this stuff.

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>In the first season of Flashback, we will connect the

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>dots in some of the most incredible unintended consequences that

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>history has ever unleashed. We'll learn how the y m

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>c A inadvertently helped fund global terrorism When there's a

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of profits to be had, illegally questionable characters will

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>get involved in it, And how a bold effort to

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>address the dust bowl of the Great Depression created an

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>even longer lasting environmental problem. Biological science has no good

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>way to predict how these things happen, and you'll hear

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>how these unintended outcomes continue to impact our world today.

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>The transmission of ideas is being faciltated at speeds and

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>volumes that are were previously unthinkable, and what we can

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>do about thing. Essentially, we just need to be wary

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>of quick fixes and silver bullets. They rarely work out

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>like we think they will. Learn about history's unintended consequences
