Behind the Bastards

There's a really wonderful book called Landslide by my probably favorite journalist who writes books Jane Mayer about the Reagan administration in this period.

North's five years at the NSC were composed of manic days, weekends at his desk, and vacations not taken.

She called him three times at 7 o'clock, at 8 o'clock, and at 9 o'clock and in essence said, 'Daddy, when are you coming home?' and Ollie said, 'Don't worry honey, daddy's coming home as soon as he can. I've just got to finish this work.'

By the time he got home, she was already asleep, but he was willing to take time to get the job done.

He was always scheduling meetings on Sundays just to distress everyone else.

I used to keep Ollie out of Reagan's office because he was dangerous.

the Reagan era ushered in not only a new national leader but also a new White House staff that included a number of anti-gay conservatives chief among them Pat Buchanan, Gary Bauer and William Bennett the shift consequently curtailed the already limited access that gay and lesbian leaders had to aid within the previous administration as historian William Turner puts it rather than having highly sympathetic White House and executive agency staffers serving under a largely indifferent president who supported the basic logic of civil rights, suddenly activists faced hostile staffers serving under a largely indifferent president who opposed the basic logic of civil rights.

Buchanan concluded by saying that no homosexual should be permitted to handle food and that the Democratic Party's decision to hold their next convention in San Francisco would leave delegate spouses and children at the mercy of quote homosexuals who belong to a community that is a common carrier of dangerous communicable and sometimes fatal diseases.

He adopted the persona of a 'bugoy', the term for hoodlum in his local Bisaya language. He developed what was to become a lifelong obsession with guns. He drank and smoked and slept around often. He didn't come home at all, and if he did he'd slip in at 4 am. He became increasingly nocturnal and remained so to this day. He holds press conferences that begin at 1 am. He appears groggy when he has to attend a morning function.

The former NPA killers targeted glue sniffers and alleged petty thieves while the police and their contractors went after bigger fish, kidnappers and drug lords.

The Davao Death Squad held them for hours in a building inside the quarry before their executions. Their personal belongings were removed and burned, including the wife's Koran.

Las Caas also confirmed the use of the Laud Quarry as an execution ground, and when questioned said he could point to burial sites.

And when questioned said he could point to burial sites. These included those of an entire family killed with a silenced .22 caliber pistol, a suspected kidnapper, his Muslim convert wife who was seven months pregnant, their four-year-old son, her 70-year-old father, an elderly male relative, and the family maid, having abducted them from a neighbouring town.

And then there is the case of a man who was caught selling fake land titles. Duterte forced him to eat them in front of TV cameras. Reporters remember him instructing the cameraman to zoom in on him chewing.

The former NPA killers targeted glue sniffers and alleged petty thieves while the police and their contractors went after bigger fish, kidnappers and drug lords.

Duterte's office supplied everything: cars, guns, ammo, food, and money.

His hitmen were a mix of former communist party NPA assassins along with...run-of-the-mill contract killers.

Western governments continue to struggle to find real solutions to these crises. They have spent trillions of dollars during that Cold War preparing the mightiest of hammers, but when you have a magnificent hammer, everything looks like a nail.

After failing in their multi-year effort to win hearts and minds in Iraq the bureaucrats decided a company that had repeatedly answered this government's pleas for help was suddenly more valuable as a scapegoat. I was strung up so the politicians could feign indignation and pretend my men hadn't done exactly what they paid us handsomely to do.

Witness the totally failed economic development of the Afghan economy after nearly 13 years of US special forces on the ground. The aid community spent billions and dead in boondoggles while ignoring the mineral and energy sectors that could make Afghanistan an independent nation instead of a welfare case.

Since I first enrolled in the Naval Academy after high school my life's mission has been to serve God, serve my family and serve the United States with honor and integrity.

The true history of Blackwater is exhilarating rewarding exasperating and tragic...it's the story of men taking bullets to protect the men who take all the credit a tale of patriots whose names became known only when lawyers and politicians needed to blame somebody for something.

The NTSB concluded that Blackwater's pilots were, quote, behaving unprofessionally and were deliberately flying the non-standard route low through the valley for fun.

Essentially argues that the studios worked with the nazis and he presents compelling evidence to that point.

The men who created the studio system in los angeles were jewish immigrants of eastern european descent

I do want to announce up front that erwand has some detractors people who Don't think collaboration is a fair term and so i'll be getting in when where there are areas of controversy I'll be getting into it a little bit because this is very far from settled history

Erwan who wrote The Collaboration did and he doesn't think it was very good but who knows, I have no way to judge this.

Just two letters you can find my book on amazon a brief history of vice You can find this podcast and all the sources for this episode including ben's wonderful book The Collaboration on our website behind the bastards dot com

So this will give you an idea of kind of what Some people in the film industry sort of on edison's side of things were horrified of when they looked into a movie theater

There was a book called The chance on young and.

There was a book called the Chance on Young and That book was extremely expensive. And of course much more expensive for members in Japan I think I read a figure where I think I don't remember what year it was and it was not very recent I think it might have been like 1992 or something Or 2002 or something, I'm not sure but it costs like roughly like 200,000 American dollars to go to the marriage ceremony The one of the mass weddings that the moonies do where they're everybody is arranged marriage arranged married and So yeah, just like these huge amounts of money directly flowing from the pockets of The membership and anyone they happen to you know Have give them money Into the coffers of the church and you know directly on up to like the moon family who are billionaires.

keep your head down, think small, look after yourself. These constituted the lessons of Leopold. The spirit once comprehensively crushed does not recover easily. For 75 years from 1885 to 1960, Congo's population had marinated in humiliation. No malevolent witch doctor could have devised a better preparation for the coming of a second great dictator.

It's very much like just a frat boy who like, it's like, oh she didn't remember. She didn't remember, what's the crime? Because I roofied her so I can't be at fault because she has no memory.

What has occurred demonstrates alas that in Africa and certain other countries at the same stage of evolution access to the democratic process remains a murderous affair

Patrice Lumumba has died the way he always wanted violently.

The very existence of Lumumba was an abscess which had already infected the Congo and was threatening to infect it further.

The very existence of Lumumba was an abscess which had already infected the Congo and was threatening to infect it further.

The murder of Patrice Lumumba and two of his colleagues however is unique in that it is the first time in history that the legal ruler of a country has been done to death with the open connivance of a world organization in whom that ruler put his trust.

the most important political assassination of the 20th century

He borrowed history books from his neighbor, General Lew Wallace, who was writing Ben-Hur at the time.

America, Grant claimed, was originally settled by a superior stock of Protestant Nordics, a stock rapidly being debased by interbreeding with inferior immigrant aliens.

Unless we stem this hybridization, America will go the way of ancient Rome.

Blacks, Grant believed, were inferior to all other races. Their mental abilities, he wrote, are in pretty direct proportion to the amount of white blood a black has.

Even a mulatto with enough white blood to pass still has traits that may insidiously go back to his black ancestry and may be brought into the white race in this way.

Germany is dominated by two different races.

The good race are the Nordics or Teutonics. These are blonde-haired, blue-eyed people with long heads.

They're very intelligent and Sadler expounds his theory that all great military leaders in history are Nordics, as are all great explorers and adventurers.

If you're a fan of the books about serial killers genre it's a very solid entry into that.

according to herald shefters Deranged in the immediate aftermath of billy's abduction over the course of a single week three separate angry mobs assault a different suspected bogeyman

depraved says the book that i read for this says that uh the story unspooled in the tabloids and kind of the same way that the gaffney abduction had

in 1932 alone there were 282 reported kidnappings in 28 states and all but 65 of the perpetrators had gotten away scot free with their crimes by the summer of 1933

the book depraved also notes that psychics pledged to aid in the efforts to no effect obviously along with an inventor who arrived with what he called a mechanical bloodhound

Yeah, if you're a fan of the books about serial killers genre, it's a very solid entry into that.

According to Harold Schechter's 'Deranged,' in the immediate aftermath of Billy's abduction, over the course of a single week, three separate angry mobs assault a different suspected boogeyman.

Depraved says the book that I read for this says that the story unspooled in the tabloids and kind of the same way that the Gaffney abduction had.

In 1932 alone, there were 282 reported kidnappings in 28 states, and all but 65 of the perpetrators had gotten away scot-free with their crimes.

The book 'Depraved' also notes that psychics pledged to aid in the efforts to no effect, obviously, along with an inventor who arrived with what he called a 'mechanical bloodhound.'

Racial decadence sounds like it should be a good book.

And therefore, while not considering these matters in too grave a light, but at the same time taking the mission which has and he has endeavoured to fulfill in this and subsequent volumes quite seriously.

It will be apparent that if but a little bit has been contributed to the clarification of these basic problems which confront the nation.

If but a might has been added to aid in solving the menacing difficulties discussed in this work.

If but even a trifle has been added to the final turning of the tide of evil influences which jeopardize the white races in general and the American stock in particular.

Then we will have been repaid manifold for the research and other efforts entailed in the writing of this book.

And then after Lothrop Stoddard's book comes out in 1920 and 1922, he writes another copycat racism book called Racial Decadence, in which he claims America's genetic heritage is at risk due to the rapid birth rate of non-white people.

Racial decadence sounds like it should be a good book.

either to save the Union or to free the black man, which is an interesting way of phrasing it.

He said that he believed that the black man deserved his freedom but that this had not made the races fundamentally equal and that the fact that people were now trying to treat them equally was going to destroy the United States.

In 1930 Sadler publishes the truth about heredity.

So he's like this his primary understanding of science is like no FAP ideology right like it's shit that the proud boys believe today.

When you showed me this book, I didn't realize he wrote it. Oh, I mean allegedly. I thought it was some bizarre fan fiction that you got.

I know because I've read a couple reviews of this. That's his sidekick. He's a talking horse.

Yeah, I mean these are number one New York Times best-selling books.

What I hate about them is that they're really quality printing jobs. Like people talked about that in the reviews, but like no, look at this. Look at it, like beautiful illustrations.

It's like Rush Limbaugh, an actual picture of him standing and smiling. I mean we need to also clarify. I mean does he wear a leather jacket? He looks like a substitute teacher. Yeah, he's wearing a fucking leather jacket.

I know because I've read a couple reviews of this. That's his sidekick. He's a talking horse.

The plot of these stories, as far as I have learned from reviews...Is that Rush Revere is like a history teacher at a public school...And he goes back in time to teach kids the history of the United States of America.

What I hate about them is that they're really quality printing jobs. Like people talked about that in the reviews, but like no, look at this. Look at it, like beautiful illustrations. Oh yeah, photos and stuff. It's a really well put together book.

His political viewpoint certainly shows up but less than you might expect. He even defines American exceptionalism in a matter unlikely to offend Rachel Maddow...

Reading the series has given us a nice Break from traditional schooling...They were drawn into the story of Rush Revere At the middle school he teaches and his students They liked that there was time travel involved...
