Robinson outline America’s pursuit of global domination, offering an incisive critique of the self-serving myths that dominant elites in the United States continue to push.

His work is widely credited with revolutionizing modern linguistics, and he is equally renowned for his incisive writings on global affairs and U.S. foreign policy.

    “Duty to Warn: May I Tell You What Project 2025 Really Is?” with Frank Schaeffer

    In this podcast, we talk with Frank Schaeffer to discuss his recent blog post regarding “Project 2025” and its origins in the theologically conservative Opus Dei and deep-pocket conservative think tanks. Schaeffer is an author, film director, screenwriter, and painter. He is the son of theologian and author Francis Schaeffer, who, with other evangelicals, is responsible for the pro-life movement and the religious-right that emerged in the 1970s. His crisis of faith and disillusionment with the movement led to his departure in the mid-80s.   Duty to Warn: May I Tell You What Project 2025 Really Is?https://frankschaeffer.substack.com/p/duty-to-warn-may-i-tell-you-what   Frank Schaeffer’s Substack:https://frankschaeffer.substack.com/ Frank Schaeffer’s Arthttps://www.frankschaefferart.com   Greg’s Blog: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/   Pat’s Substack: https://patcummings.substack.com/about   #FrankSchaeffer#CrazyforGod#HeritageFoundaton#Project2025#ChristianRight#OpusDei#ReligiousRight#FrancisSchaeffer#EdithSeville#FrankSchaefferArt#JerryFarwell#JamesDobson#BillGraham#ReligiousRight#ElonMusk#PatRobertson#TuckerCarlson#PeterTheil#WhyIAmAnAthiest#MandateForLeadership#DutyToWarn#PowellMemo#ChristoFacism#Patriarchy#Evangelical#PatCummings#GregGodels#ZZBlog#ComingFromLeftField#ComingFromLeftFieldPodcast#zzblog#mltoday

    “Dynamite Nashville” with Betsy Phillips

    Betsy Phillips, a journalist and historian, is the author of the new book about three unsolved bombings by segregationists in the civil rights era, “Dynamite Nashville: Unmasking the FBI, the KKK, and the Bombers Beyond Their Control.”  Phillips not only paints a detailed picture of the social dynamic of the times but reveals how a violent fringe of racists came to national prominence. In Dynamite Nashville, Phillips unmasks "The Confederate Underground," identifying its principal leader, J.B. Stoner, and shines a much-needed historical spotlight on unsung civil rights hero and near martyr Z. Alexander Looby.   Order the book: Dynamite Nashville: Unmasking the FBI, the KKK, and the Bombers Beyond Their Controlhttps://www.kingsbookstore.com/book/9798986614571   Greg’s Blog (subscribe!): http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/   #BestyPhillips#DynamiteNashville#FBI#KKK#JBStoner#ZAlexanderLooby#FreddieOConnel#HattieCotton#HattieCottonBombing#JewishCommunityCenter#1950sSynagoguebombings#TheConfederateUnderground#ConferateUnderground#LoobyBombing#Segregation#BrownVBoard#BrownBoardOrEdcuaton#MLKing#UnsolvedBombing#segregationists#HistoricNashville#CivilRights#JohnLewis#DianeNash#JamesEarlRay#assasinationMLK#NeoNazis#PatCummings#GregGodels#ZZBlog#ComingFromLeftField#ComingFromLeftFieldPodcast#zzblog#mltoday
