Today continues our historical hemp journey. We move from its prehistory to the Great Nordic Wars, from the deep Middle Ages up to Napoleon. Exploring the trading, scheming, piracy, licence forging, blockading and war declaring when capitalism became international.

Focusing on this Age of Sails when an entire world depended on a single fibrous plant. So crucial   to the very concept of the commodity that the largest army Europa had  ever seen broke the alliance between East and West on behalf of The Isles and marched from Paris to Moscow.

Through logbooks, old letters and decrees we follow the east coast merchant houses of Philadelphia, Boston and New York, prostituting the American flag for George III,  forming the dangerous, yet essential Baltic circuit of hemp trade from Russia to England and  the New World.

An exciting story of modern vikings who with Napoleon's grace, after the British bombardment of Copenhagen, hunted in gunboats Yankee barks, brigs,  and full-riggers overflowing with cannabis worth millions, upping the stakes of the most profitable crossings in history.

We read what Marx and his female comrades wrote about the Russian communes that collectively grew the cannabis over which so much blood was spilled. A marriage between a plant and a mode of production which in their own words could be a direct path to the next stage of History.

So please sign up on patreon or subscribe here on spotify to access the next instalment and the rest of this bonus series on the para-politico-economical history of cannabis sativa!

In the first bonus ep of the show, our Ecofascist narrative is expanded to include the long history of hemp! By supporting the show for as little as 3 Dólares you can help me produce a counter narrative against fake cannabis activists, CIA infiltrators and IG Farben.

Racing through millenniums of hemp history we get sidetracked by Chinese etymology, aquatic Neanderthals and an unknown cradle of civilization discovered by soviet agronomists and archaeologists, the  hemp wars of 1812,  Napoleon's invasion of the Tsar's weed plantations etc.

We will investigate why "The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937"  was introduced at the end of not only the Great Depression and the biggest land grab by the latifundia barons in US history but also during the interregnum of the first and second agricultural revolution.

We will read about the history of the Midwestern communist farm unions who fought back during the last peasant revolts of US history. We will see who had most to gain from the confusion of hemp and marijuana. We take a look at the many plastic patents of the AgChem industry. 

In so doing we will be able to finally show that the fascists involved in the Wall Street Putsch are the exact same conglomerates who knew that a biotech transition from local mechanisation to capital intensive motorization needed to involve the eradication of Cannabis Sativa L.

The investigation has reached the Hungerplan of the NSDAP-Reichsministers of Agriculture, Herbert Backe and Richard Walther Darré. In due manner we will see how the 20th century's largest man made famine came about and how it continues to shape our contemporary time.

How did Backe outmanoeuvre his mentor to conquer the throne of evil? What really happened in the central black earth region, the largest magnetic anomaly on Earth known as Kursk? And why are the warmongers there today again?

We go looking for the origins of the "Drive to the East" narrative, Blood and Soil and the mythology of the black on white cross of the Teutons. I'll read the addresses to the nation by Fichte and attack it with satirical poetry from Marx's third cousin Heinrich Heine. This and much more awaits you if you will join me in the very emotional and mind altering fourth instalment of The Return Of The Repressed Ecofascism series.

Organic Farming in Nazi Germany The Politics of Biodynamic Agriculture, 1933–1945

The first agricultural revolution worthy of its name in terms of relative suddenty was not an event of the neolithic. It took place in the 16th century and would gradually develop through a series of sub-revolutions until the end of the 1940s, when it was replaced.

The interregnum of the first and the second revolution, when the old was dying and the new could not be born, when mechanisation was to become motorisation, would be a period of time that included the Wall Street Crash, and the two world wars.

Though often overlooked, all that destruction was foretold by another cluster of events. The First World Crisis of Agricultural Overproduction of 1890. Today we investigate if there were perhaps some well aware of this or if it was just the lack of agency of the M-C-M' circuit.

As the spoiler in the title suggests, we will point a finger at the historical block which has been occupying the newspaper all over the world for the last year. We will interpret the dream of the Pharaoh in Genesis 41 and we will investigate the most secret cabinet of the Weimar.

Hello and welcome to another episode of The Return of the Repressed.I have today, I believe, an extra good episode in store for you today. Foucault told us to go looking for the roots of the biopolitical new biology in 18th century Germany liberalism. We will heed his advice and do so!

With the help of Lukacs and his writing about Dostoevsky, Hegel, Schelling and Hölderlin we will make a distinction between reactionary and revolutionary romanticist anti-capitalism. As we move closer to the turn of the last century we will see how the Lebensreform picks up the hatchet of the three musketeers of German idealism.

Reading Freud we will try to understand how their civilizational discontent expressed itself through occultism, paganism, vegetarianism and how these the fist ecological hippies had their movement and ideas hijacked by the Völkisch aspirations of proto-nazistic genetic evolutionary biologist and other recruited intellectuals.

I’ll do some art-deconstruction and psychoanalysis of the first psychedelic painter of the first counter culture to see how he, Hugo Höppner aka Fidus and people like Martin Heidegger despite their distrust for technology came to worship the Sun as a mechanical swastika-wheel of karmic Germanic destiny.

Step by step we will come closer to a in part Robber-Baron-financed agricultural project of Richard Walter Darré and his successor Herbert Backe. Darré who inspired by the Lebensreform of which he was a part, where and when he first met Himmler in their 20s, turned some of the ideas of anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner in to what was officially known as the Hungerplan of the Generalplan Ost.

In so doing we will uncover the new attempts at breeding of humans, animals and plants and the New Biology's fascination with genetically modified organisms as they systematically starved some 7 million soviets and others in the occupied lebensraum. Which will be our preparation for the next episode on this largely, relatively unknown holocaust of which we have proud self-aware documented evidence. In other words, finally when investigating a truly man-made famine we will have no need for cold-warrior projection and speculation.

So buckle up and join me as we dispel the Rune Magic of Death to reveal the true nasty face of Ahriman and Operation Barbarossa... it just hit me, clue was always in the title!

Today we will begin a new journey through the past. A journey that will cover and overlap the whole history that has been our subject matter in the Bio Peace and Warfare series. A parallel narration which will take the form of a slightly more theoretical investigation with the new title Ecofascism.

In this episode, we are going to get inside the hive mind of Bill Gates. He will serve the role of being the face for so many of the faceless mechanisms that are pushing agriculture and our planet to the brink of destruction. Personally I can't stand him or the commercial media insistence on continuously asking for his opinions on matters which he  has no authority on whatsoever. The man is not a doctor nor a farmer yet today he has been allowed to buy political control of both of these institutions that are as old as mankind itself. This madness is being brought to the forefront right now in Ukraine.  

 We  are finally back after the holidays. I have a really massive episode in  store for you today! Both in terms of length and subject matter. We  will continue our bio-peace and warfare series by looking for an  alternative to all the doom and gloom we have experienced so far!

We are finally back after the holidays. I have a really massive episode in store for you today! Both in terms of length and subject matter. We will continue our bio-peace and warfare series by looking for an alternative to all the doom and gloom we have experienced so far!

We have arrived at another season finale and the last episode of the year. It is a fascinating exploration of lost and repressed phronesis, book burnings and a systemic rewriting of history as old as history itself. We will find out about the deep linguistic theories about a Borean communist homeland beyond the shit coating of ariosophy as we go looking for the oldest calendars, the oldest constellations, clocks, sail and the oldest words.
