A man born to religious parents in the 1870's, Brother XII firmly believed he was destined for spiritual greatness and eventually settled on Theosophy to explain his ideas and his theories that he was one of the Brothers of the Great White Lodge, a brotherhood shared by Jesus and Buddha among others. We talk about his colony on Nanaimo and his ideals about how the social order would collapse. He threatened his enemies with his 'black magic' powers and even appeared to unleash some of these when he was on trial.

So, in this episode, we go to New York in the 1930's where Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Bugsy Siegel took over the Mob in New York City, leading to the creation of a National Crime Syndicate, a Commission of Mob Bosses to settle disputes and for those times when disputes just will not settle, they created a group that came to be known as Murder, Incorporated to take care of those who broke the rules. This group committed hits (a term they created) all over the country and worked out of the back of a candy store in Brooklyn. We discuss this group, their rise and their fall, the indelible mark they made on popular culture. But before we discuss this, it is episode 160 so not only does Krysta have her corner, but we play catching up with Krysta in this special historical true crime episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

So in this episode, Krysta discusses her new squishmellow, a new Monster High doll and life in general in her corner before we get down to discussing the moon-eyed people. According to the Cherokee, these were people who did not see well in daylight, a fact the Cherokee used to drive them out of land the Cherokee wanted. But who were these people, according to some they were Welsh who had come over in the 11th century. According to others they were albinos. Still according to others they were a tribe like the Cherokee who just were nocturnal instead of diurnal. We discuss the Southern Appalachians where they made their home, theories about who they might have been and give our best guesses as to what this ancient Cherokee game of telephone was discussing in this is it real or is it folklore episode of the Family Plot Podcast.
