WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.480 W A. 2 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:05.160 I believe the two remaining known operatives of the of 3 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.599 the Rhode Army fraction she got sends today to thirteen years. 4 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.160 She was an elderly lady obviously, but she was still 5 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:14.519 in the game when they raided her. She was staying 6 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.320 in Berlin and hiding in Playing Sight under an assumed name, 7 00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.960 and she had a quarter million euros in cash and 8 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.679 uh an RPG, which is pretty dope, you know, like 9 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.440 old lady was still a was still at least you know, 10 00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:29.839 head at one foot. 11 00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.399 And does that tell you that, I bet some Does 12 00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:34.600 that tell you that somebody's still taking care of her? 13 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.520 If she had that much cash on her, that she's 14 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:38.799 still Yeah. 15 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.479 Well, a lot of the a lot of the females, 16 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.600 especially in the Bottle Minhaw Federation. She was a wheelman 17 00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.439 and she pulled off a lot of robberies as their 18 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:52.200 driver for the crew that the coadretor the cell she 19 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.479 was assigned to. So she would have been a she 20 00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.119 would have been stacking up a lot of cash money, 21 00:00:58.560 --> 00:00:59.359 you know. Uh. 22 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:00.759 That was the were recovered. 23 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.799 But who knows the one of the reasons, I'm right, 24 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.359 you know, Horse Tomler was a great man, and you 25 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.560 know He was not just the defense console for the 26 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.879 body mindhof element when they found themselves under indictment and 27 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.400 when the Buddhist Republic security apparatus really targeted them in earnest. 28 00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:23.079 But you know, he was very much a national socialist, 29 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.560 and that's why immediately after the air border came down 30 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.840 he clicked up with the NPD. And people who don't 31 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.640 really understand the dialectics of how you know, political life 32 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.040 shook out in in conceptual terms, they thought that that 33 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.200 was schizo or incoherent, like they don't get it. They 34 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.079 don't get that the National Socialist resistance. So they're talking 35 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:48.000 about Otto Riemer or Yachkeen H. K. Thompson or Carl 36 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.439 Wolf or the you know, Johann von Leers. 37 00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.239 They their disposition was. 38 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.280 Qualifiedly pro warsaw packed you know, and the the Wrote 39 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.719 Army fraction they had very uh, they had very good 40 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.439 offices and very strong operational links of the Popular Front 41 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.560 for Liberation at Palestine General Command. You know, they during 42 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.280 the Cold War there there were there weren't conceptual spaces 43 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.719 for some sort of neo fascist resistance that was going 44 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.319 to develop a direct action capability and if they emerged 45 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.000 like they did in Italy, they would have simply been 46 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.080 assimilated into the the NATO gladiotype structure. Okay, so if 47 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.240 you were a real if you were a real European liberationist, 48 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.960 if you were a real national socialist, you have don't 49 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.280 know what Horse Somaler did. And like, don't get me 50 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:43.199 wrong there the majority of these RF people were were 51 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.240 hardcore like non unreconstructed Stalinists, but not all of them were. 52 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.120 But even that, you know, again, this this idea that 53 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:56.680 there was some sort of open field of conceptual and 54 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:03.520 potentialities that could be brought deferation through praxis. That's that's laughable. 55 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.000 That's not that that that that that that would not 56 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.439 have been realizable. 57 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:07.960 You know. 58 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.000 So plus to the the RAF, one of the reasons 59 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:16.520 why the Shtazi pretty much threw everything at them that 60 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.360 they wanted in terms of gear and logistical support and 61 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:25.360 money and you know, safe houses. They they rejected the 62 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:31.400 sixty eight or euro Communist sensibility. They they viewed they 63 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.919 viewed it as a decadent bourgeoisie sensibility. They were Stalinists, 64 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.560 you know, they were. They were allied with the Soviet 65 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.680 Union until the end the final, the final operation of 66 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.199 the third wrote Army fraction or the third generation, which 67 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:51.039 was the bottom mine off element. They murdered some bundest 68 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:57.639 Republic Bank president in nineteen ninety and then they formally 69 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.879 they sent h in nineties seven or ninety eight, they 70 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.199 issued a formal statement, you know, saying that they were 71 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:12.400 disbanding because amidst globalism, their their war was over. Because 72 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.240 again they were first, last and always they were allied 73 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.399 with Warsaw Packed. You know, they didn't they didn't have 74 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:25.720 this revision as fluid understanding of communism derived of you know, 75 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:31.319 Frankfurt School sociology and things, you know. And some people 76 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.560 would allege, well, they were just a client proxy of 77 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.920 Warsaw Pack, of the DDR and a of the KGB 78 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.959 and the GRU. That's really not true. There there was 79 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:49.199 an organic and spontaneous mobilization of that element, you know. 80 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:55.600 And they people don't. People aren't professional intelligence men or 81 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.160 security state types don't. They don't just take on those 82 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.439 kind of commitments, you know, because they're being it's a 83 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:05.879 way you know, getting a paycheck or something. 84 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:06.480 You know. 85 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.120 They they uh pretty much pretty much all the virtually 86 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.959 every one of the rode Army fraction. Each iteration was 87 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.839 killed in action, was murdered under odd circumstances, or died 88 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.639 in prison. You know, it's not as if there was 89 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.959 some great return on investment if you were an apolitical 90 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.639 who was simply interested in a paycheck. But yeah, being 91 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.160 Max has recently finished hit recently finished Hitler's War, I'm 92 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.879 already number of Last Battle. Maybe Jackson was the reality 93 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.199 of the European War. Jackson really was. 94 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:42.959 He was. 95 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.199 He was a country lawyer, like like out of the 96 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.800 like out of a hokey movie or something. He wasn't 97 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.160 he wasn't putting on errors. That's what he was. He 98 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.079 was kind of a hit And that was deliberate because 99 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.240 if there'd been some slick New York ethnic guy, or 100 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.439 some Jewish guy, or even some or even some uh 101 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.480 blue blood Wall Street guy who's got buddy of Roosevelts 102 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.160 or something like that, that would have been the wrong optics. 103 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.879 You know, Jackson was supposed to represent. You know, I'm 104 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.879 just I'm just I'm just a decent Middle American like you. 105 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.839 And you know, as a Christian man, I I I've 106 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.639 never seen evil of the sort that you know has 107 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.680 been revealed. You know to be underway in the German Reich. 108 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.240 And uh, so I don't think he was acting, you know, 109 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.600 I think I think he was something of an ignoramus. 110 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.759 Well it's also he I mean, Gearing made a fool 111 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:34.279 out of him. 112 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:34.639 You know. 113 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:41.399 The strongest uh, the strongest uh cadre, that's not the 114 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.439 right word. The strongest trial team at Nuremberg was the 115 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.439 British by a long shot. 116 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:47.759 You know. 117 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:52.240 The France was in a weird position, so they for 118 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.759 all kinds of reasons, including that it was Frenchman defending 119 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:59.920 the reich stock in the final hours. Okay, the soul 120 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.560 it's wanted to in typical Soviet fashion. They they were, 121 00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.160 they were constitutionally paranoid in the hostile and said we 122 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.160 wanted to hang everybody. You know, the the Americans were 123 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.759 you know again, Uh, there was a lot of Jackson 124 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.240 had a lot of people picking up the slack for him, 125 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.920 you know, and I mean he make a mistake. He 126 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:26.639 had he in the entire tribunal had had had absurd advantages. 127 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.759 You know, the defense essentially had no discovery rights or anything. 128 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.800 But you know, uh, Jackson wasn't just a figurehead that 129 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.399 I'm getting at. He really did set the tenor the 130 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.519 tone in Tenor. But that's why Also when it became 131 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.959 clear he was actually trying to get a verdict on 132 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:45.839 Helmar Shocked, the British are like, what are you doing? 133 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.000 You know, It's like, first of all, Shocked is here 134 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.920 to be acquitted, because the appearance of do process is 135 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.839 paramount and absolutely essential, especially when it's not being honored, 136 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.040 you know. But also Holmar Shocked was he was very 137 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.800 well connected plus too, I mean, you accepted the ethical 138 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:06.920 narrative as well as the elements of the offenses alleged 139 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:12.079 in terms of scientier, Helmer Shocked was literally a banker, Like. 140 00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:12.959 What was he supposed to do? 141 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:15.959 He was supposed to what was he supposed to become 142 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.879 some revolutionary after after the NSDAP ascendency, like quit his 143 00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.920 job or even poverty and trying murder Hitler. I mean, like, 144 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.240 I know, that's not realistic. I think he's a shock. 145 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:29.199 You can't even make the claim like people had about Spear, 146 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.680 like Spear the terrible person. Don't get me wrong, but 147 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:36.679 I'm speaking within the bounty rationale of liability assigned by 148 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:40.000 you know, within the four corners of the indictments Spear 149 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:44.960 went out of his way to acquire power within the 150 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.840 executive element of the party state. Helmar shocked, didn't I mean, 151 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.919 you know, and you don't. You don't have some obligation. 152 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.200 You don't have some obligation again, uh to uh quit 153 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.679 your job, live in poverty and and and like take 154 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.679 on the role of some sort of like twentieth century 155 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:09.120 Diogenes and protest of your government because because America decided 156 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.080 that it's evil, you know, and really all they had, 157 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.279 Unshocked was there's this photograph I believe, I believe it 158 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:23.919 was from nineteen thirty eight, after the murder Adolphins. As 159 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.919 you know, Hitler was dealing with benez and that whole 160 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:34.879 fiasco and was relying on, you know, Mussolini's support and 161 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.159 good offices they're in with the Kingdom of Italy. And 162 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.919 at that time too, you know, people forget Mussolini was 163 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.480 viewed as not just a dynamic personage, but something of 164 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:49.559 a broker between great European powers who could be trusted 165 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.759 on grounds that he was preceding a position in neutrality. 166 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:57.159 You know, him being cast as this is this evil 167 00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:01.360 buffoon came much later, but you know, know, uh, the 168 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:06.919 Austrian national socialist murdering dolphus In you know, like mafia's 169 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:13.279 style that came close to resolving and utterly catastrophic circumstances. 170 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.600 But in any event, I believe after Hitler smoothed over 171 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:25.000 the crisis with Mussolini and he was returning from Rome, 172 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:28.440 Helmar Shocked is greeting beating Hitler. 173 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.080 Uh. One of Hitler's. 174 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.799 Adjutants, It wasn't called Wolf, but one of one of 175 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.120 his military adjutants is with them. I think Gerring's on 176 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.759 deck and and uh hess and uh Shocked is like, 177 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.120 you know, pumping Hitler's hand with like a big smile 178 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.200 on his face. It's like, well, I mean this he 179 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.639 was greeting the fury in the Reichs Consler. It'd be like, 180 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.320 you know, uh, it's the equivalent of that chairman of 181 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.399 the FED shaking hands with Donald Trump then declaring that 182 00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:59.480 that means that he loves Donald Trump. 183 00:10:59.759 --> 00:10:59.919 You know. 184 00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:06.159 So there, But that's to the Fellaw's point about Jackson 185 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.559 being an amateur, you know, of a jurist. That that 186 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:14.399 was his big attempt at rebuttal is is uh blowing 187 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:18.120 up that picture to poster size like Cee c The 188 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.200 fuck out of here. It's ridiculous, you know. 189 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:27.679 But are you familiar with the book The Psychology of 190 00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:29.559 Dictatorship by GM Gilbert. 191 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:31.440 Yeah, I'm a redd up, but I'm familiar with it. 192 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.399 Excited a lot in a certain category of academic literature. 193 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:35.960 Yeah. 194 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:40.480 He he's the one who did the psychoanalysis of the Nuremberg. 195 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:42.240 Places. 196 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.559 A buddy of mine is republishing it because it's been 197 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.279 out of prince a long time. 198 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:47.600 Yeah. 199 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.720 Yeah, no, that's that's that's that's great. That's very exciting 200 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:55.039 that all this, all these sort of dormant publications are 201 00:11:55.559 --> 00:12:00.440 are now being brought back into regular availability. Wasn't gonna 202 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.879 say a minute ago it was thought, oh no, but 203 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:08.440 I included. One of the longest chapters in my book 204 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:14.519 is about the individual defendants and how the case in 205 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:19.320 chief against them was characterized and what role they played 206 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.759 within the narrative. 207 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.360 You know, I mean some of this is obvious. You know. 208 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.559 Gerring obviously was a stand in for Adolf Hitler because 209 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.480 at one time he was the designated successor of the Fear. 210 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:36.240 But also Gearing was a very outsized personage in every way, 211 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:38.799 and I mean he was there, you know, I mean 212 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.879 that's why he didn't commit suicide until he wasn't gonna 213 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.600 he wasn't gonna let the United that international military tribunal win, 214 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.600 and he wasn't gonna let him flop be hanged. But 215 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.759 you know, that's what he That's what he told his wife, 216 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.120 and that's what he told the other defendants. 217 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:56.720 You know that. 218 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.279 You know, he had he had to defend. He had 219 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:01.279 to defend the and Reich and court. He had to 220 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.720 defend the record for posterity and the service of history, 221 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.960 you know. And it's remarkable that Gearing turned things around, 222 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.080 you know, but it's it's a Gearing found himself. He 223 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.440 became the old Gearring. He became the Gearing who you know, 224 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.080 took command of rich Toff and squadron after Man von 225 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.840 Richtoff and was killed in action, you know. And yeah, 226 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.080 the really really remarkable guy. You know, Like I said, 227 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:35.320 I the anecdote of you know, Arhard Milch taking a beating, 228 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.279 you know, does to salute Gearing when they've been estranged 229 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.879 for year. Just you know that that goes to show 230 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:47.879 the kind of respect, uh that Gearing had had reacquired, 231 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:51.799 which is well placed. Yeah, the whole the whole thing 232 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:56.679 is rather insane, you know. And but that's why, that's 233 00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:59.840 why I wrote the book, you know, I uh, because 234 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:04.919 it's very very ill understood the subject matter is and 235 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.759 the degree to which that precedent characterized the conceptual environment 236 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:18.799 and in turn colored practice between the superpowers and were 237 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:24.679 in peace questions, albeit in a highly superficial capacity. But 238 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:30.919 even if the declared rationale of an ideological culture and 239 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.039 the imperatives they're in at war, even if the state 240 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:40.320 actor in question totally abandons those imperatives or doesn't abide 241 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.679 them at all because they're absurd, or if they're proceeding 242 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:48.000 under those auspices, you know, at some point the rationale 243 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.960 takes on a life of its own, you know, And 244 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.679 at some point the center cannot hold because there's no 245 00:14:54.759 --> 00:15:00.440 longer the conceptual vocabulary or aspects of the zech geist 246 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:04.960 to give contact and verbial life to those imperatives. 247 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:05.279 You know. 248 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:10.600 That's that's when things fall apart. And that's what's underway now. 249 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:14.519 I mean, it's it's been underway for decades, but now 250 00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.039 it's underway in earnest. So you know, like I said, 251 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:20.159 I plan to be around for a minute. I'm not 252 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.000 afraid to die but I prefer not to yet. I'm 253 00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:25.720 enjoying myself and I think there's some things I need 254 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:29.240 to do, especially because I have kids, and I'm fine 255 00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:29.519 with that. 256 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:31.720 You know, God decided I was. 257 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.799 Going to be a Chase sold to the apocalypse, but 258 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:37.799 I do need to leave some kind of legacy, So 259 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:40.279 I need to get as much of this long term 260 00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:44.080 stuff out of my brain before uh, you know, I 261 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:50.679 find myself deposited in the next world. And I started, Uh, 262 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:55.000 I'm working on this uh Steel Storm novel. It's kind 263 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.279 of adjacent. It's not a direct sequel. It's it's it's 264 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.480 like Anna Bleak. It's within the same universe, and it 265 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.200 takes place several years before War. 266 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:06.840 Day in nineteen seventy nine. 267 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.960 And it's more kind of in the vein of Shane 268 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.600 Stevens type stuff, but a little bit more surreal, you know. 269 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.759 And uh, it's basically like the life of Billy Wong 270 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.559 as he's gang banging and ripping and running before he 271 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:25.879 becomes a serial killer and serial largsh is this Uh, 272 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:31.519 he's this Chicago PD, the detective Bureau guy and uh, 273 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:36.440 as global security conditions approach World War three, Chicago Bed 274 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.480 becomes totally politicized, and he's still trying to be a 275 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:43.519 homicide cop and trying not to abide the new force 276 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:50.000 structure and the federalization of all police elements. And there's this, Uh, 277 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.679 there's a serial killer who was the who Billy Wong 278 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:58.399 comes the develope hero worship of called the Chicago Tribune 279 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:02.679 brands in the Lincoln Parker Ripper, and uh, it's not Cyril. 280 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:04.559 Lurish is slowly losing his mind. 281 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.839 And I don't want to give away the danumoi, but 282 00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.160 Syrah Larish at times in his drunken fuse, I'm convinced 283 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:14.960 that he himself might be the lnoln Park Ripper, Like 284 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.359 as he's investigating this case and refusing to let it 285 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:25.000 lie despite being ordered to pursue essentially direct action against politicals, 286 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.799 you know, like find elements, particularly like black and Spanish elements, 287 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:32.480 you know, and guys under arms in the street who 288 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:35.319 are sympathetic to Warsaw packed and murder them. 289 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:35.960 You know. 290 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:42.799 He's obsessively stalking this killer who again gets really gets 291 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:46.079 under the skin of young Billy Wong as his sort 292 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:49.039 of sick passions begin to take. 293 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:50.000 Him over more and more. 294 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:56.839 But it's called Steel Storm nineteen seventy nine. But in 295 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.400 addition to that, I'm writing what I think of the 296 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.279 history of the Old Resistance as I think of it 297 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:05.359 and what its relationship is to I don't like the 298 00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:09.160 term alt right because I think it's it's been very corrupted, 299 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:13.039 not just because legacy media seized on it, but and 300 00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:15.319 I don't want to talk about people I like to 301 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:17.680 think I'm above that. I mean, other than like our 302 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.119 genuine ops and people who are total assholes. But I 303 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.079 think Richard Spencer's genuinely a really shitty guy. Like I 304 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.720 think he's like he's really he's like a really bad guy. He's, 305 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:31.119 you know, in really perfidest and a real shit big 306 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:33.640 and of course that that was a big part of 307 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.640 his branding is oh, I'm the old Right. 308 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:39.400 So I don't like that term petty as that might seem. 309 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:45.160 But I whatever you want to call the new Resistance, 310 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.720 that really I mean it. It was developing all really 311 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.680 in earnest I think after from about two thousand and 312 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.720 eight onward, although the seed was sown before that. But 313 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:59.720 obviously it like really reads Zenith around the two thousand 314 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:02.640 and six team presidential election. But I found about that 315 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:05.839 in context and help people sort of understand what some 316 00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:07.839 of the heritage of this stuff is, you know, and 317 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.279 I did. I to me, it's not purely academic. I 318 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.559 mean I did bear witness to a lot of this stuff, 319 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:17.880 you know. And obviously nineteen eighty nine was a critical year, 320 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:23.640 but nineteen ninety two was hugely important. 321 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:24.200 You know. 322 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:27.880 You had like March ninety one, that was the Rodney 323 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:33.160 King insid it happened, and racial tensions were reaching a 324 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:38.200 fever pitch everywhere, and then then the LA riots kicked off, 325 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.319 and you know, things were really really bad, especially between 326 00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:46.680 I mean, there was colic diets between you know, Asian 327 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:51.359 people and black folks and Spanish people and blacks, you know, 328 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.240 and there was like there was like multiple paradigms at work, 329 00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:58.039 but there was real like race war brewing between like 330 00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:01.160 white people and black folks, you know, in in New 331 00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:02.519 York and LA and Chicago. 332 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:03.519 It was really bad. 333 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.880 And that that colored the perspective of a whole generation 334 00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:11.279 of partisans. And then there was a you know, and 335 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.640 then Clinton and Bar you know Bush forty one and Bar. 336 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:20.400 You know, they began targeting you know, domestic extremists and 337 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.200 that you know, Ruby Ridge happens in ninety two very 338 00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:27.599 much at the behest of bar you know. 339 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.119 And uh, and then when the Renal. 340 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.480 Justice Department gets a mandate, you know, it's go go 341 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:39.000 go against you know, domestic terrorism, and so we were 342 00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:40.480 getting hit from all sides. 343 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:40.880 You know. 344 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:45.240 It was really a perfect storm of factors. And then 345 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:49.480 but then as the nineties uh war on like like 346 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:55.200 Clinton got really really hurt by the Star investigation. Ken 347 00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.279 Starr was a the whole concept of an independent council 348 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:02.960 was problematic for all kinds of reasons. But it became 349 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:05.599 clear to people that Clinton really was an evil person 350 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.759 and incredibly corrupt personally, you know, in addition to being 351 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:14.359 a total deviant, and even though the effort to impeach 352 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.599 him never had any legs, you know, he became a 353 00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:21.720 lame duck president. You know, so something like Waco would 354 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:26.119 have been unthinkable if if Clinton had been continuing to 355 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.880 push that kind of war on terror one point zero 356 00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.960 against domestic elements, you know. And then like nine to 357 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.519 eleven happened, and that like changed everything, and then the 358 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:41.400 regime forgot about us. And that was a weird time 359 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:46.240 because people were so focused on the international situation admittedly 360 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:51.000 they they they had propagandas and highly you know, uh 361 00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:56.640 and and very superficial and in diminished understanding of the variables. 362 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:01.799 But it totally altered people's conceptual horizon. And then you know, 363 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.759 by even before nine to eleven, by like by like 364 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:11.359 ninety seven ninety eight, that kind of race war tension was, 365 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.400 which is easing up, you know. And so I mean 366 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:17.279 this is important, you know, because I think a lot 367 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:21.240 of people and it's complicated. I'm not saying people are stupid, 368 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:24.480 especially young people who don't realize this, but I think 369 00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:26.799 people have this idea that it was this kind of 370 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.400 like constant, steady state and there was nothing outside of 371 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:35.079 the main stream and in terms of partisan subcultures and stuff. 372 00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:38.839 But then you know, people got sick of woke stuff 373 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:43.079 and just sort of like you know, developed a quorum 374 00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.440 as it were, around Donald Trump, you know, and then 375 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:48.720 that set off the inner party. So this this like 376 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.160 right wing came about. That's not what happened, you know, 377 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:55.519 it goes way deeper than that, and there's a direct 378 00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:02.200 connection to what happened previously. So i'm i'm uh, i'm 379 00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:05.319 i'm I started writing a history of uh, you know, 380 00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:11.880 the the American UH resistance post ninety five, you know, 381 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.400 the first UH. I basically look at it as what 382 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.400 came out of America first, you know, in silver shirts 383 00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:25.000 and all those patriotic elements and pronational socialists and and 384 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:29.440 and pro fascist elements, you know, and UH that developed 385 00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.200 into the old resistance in the eyes of our era. 386 00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:36.519 And then uh, you know, and there's a real concern 387 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:40.279 and one of the few really insightful things Rockwell wrote 388 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:43.640 about in one of UH in one of the A 389 00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:48.519 and P publications of the day, these these angry, disenfranchised 390 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.119 guys coming back from NAM. There was real concern they 391 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:53.519 were gonna OCCI finds some kind of free corps or something, 392 00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.720 you know, especially because you know, the biker subculture then 393 00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:58.000 was actually really dangerous. 394 00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:01.160 Yah, I was a real thing. I was like boomers, 395 00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:03.839 like playing Halloween. I was gonna say bike. 396 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:05.960 A lot of those guys went right into biker again, 397 00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.680 into biker clubs, motor clubs. 398 00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:12.599 Oh yeah, yeah, and the and those guys are deeply insinuated. 399 00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:16.519 Like I want this Uh. This girl I knew a 400 00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:19.720 few years back. She was way younger. Yeah, she was 401 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:22.200
