The one where we talk with Journalist and Author David Neiwert about his 35 years of covering the Radical Right, Eliminationist rhetoric, and how the old playbook hasn't changed much.

Here are some of the sources we used, as well as more information on some of the subjects we discussed:

Richard Mack - Constitutional Sheriffs

Chris Rufo on Curtis "Mencius Moldbug" Yarvin

The Stranger, Seattle's Hometown Newspaper, on Chris Rufo's withdrawal from the City Council race

Bill Morlin -- How journalists should cover hate and hate groups

A&E Forensic Files episode on the Phineas Priesthood with Bill Morlin

Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck Off

David Neiwert on Louis Beam

“This was explicitly laid out by one of these leaders, a man named Louis Beam, who was a top lieutenant in the Aryan Nations organization in northern Idaho. Writing in his magazine The Seditionist, in an essay titled, “Leaderless Resistance,” he advocated the formation of independent cells of militias that could spring into action when needed. And he encouraged “lone wolf” attacks by violent believers – attacks that would undermine public confidence in the ability of a democratic society to keep them safe and secure.”

"Lone Wolves Connected Online" - New York Times article on Louis Beam

The Kehoe Brothers

"Of Orcas and Men", David's "whale book"

“In Of Orcas and Men, a marvelously compelling mix of cultural history, environmental reporting, and scientific research, David Neiwert explores how this extraordinary species has come to capture our imaginations--and the catastrophic environmental consequences of that appeal. In the tradition of Barry Lopez's classic Of Wolves and Men, David Neiwert's book is a powerful tribute to one of the animal kingdom's most remarkable members.”
