In today's very special episode of historic.ly we will be talking to about one of the most sanitized events in American history.  Instead of myths of Pilgrims sitting down to eat a meal, we will learn the fate of the nations that the English settler colonists encountered:  The Pequot wars were a campaign of genocide that is often overlooked. Matt Lech joins us to tell the dark real story of Thanksgiving and the birth of America. Later in the episode, Matt Lech shares some contemporary history about Donald Trump and his ongoing feud with the Wampanoag and how they were coincidentally declassified as a first nation in September 2018( something that hadn't been done in nearly 80+ years). Finally, Matt Lech shares us his favorite JFK conspiracy theory for the anniversary of his death tomorrow.

Operation Carwash has been lauded as one of the best anti-corruption investigations. It has gained praise, even from those on the left.  However, Operation Carwash is not as it sounds.  Instead of exposing corruption, it has been used to target a pro-worker, anti-us business interest party. The judge who oversaw Operation Carwash is now the Justice Minister.  Today, Brian Meir from Brazil Wire joins us to discuss the true dirty and bloody history of Operation Carswash.

Last week, Bolsonaro surprised everyone by capturing 48% of the votes in Brazil.  He faces Fernando Haddad in the run-off.  People call him Brazil's Trump. But, I think that is being too kind.

You might not think the laws of ancient society can be applied in the modern American context. But, it was a society without a king.  The formal government was established by having annual meetings for freemen who negotiated with each other until they came up with a set of laws to govern the land. The more curious aspect: they had no police force to enforce these laws, yet they had arbiters, in a court, that kept these laws enforced. Another curiosity is that the Icelandic people kept an oral tradition of sagas, which can be thought of as sordid soap operas of various encounters with others.  While in most cultures, we have ample diaries, letters of the nobility, we know very little about the peasant. But, here, in a way, we can get the true “people's history.”

This curious society may teach Americans how to be more Democratic and to address the issues facing us.  Today, Professor William Ian Miller, a law professor at the University of Michigan joins us to talk about this curious society.
