  1. Hello Alastair and Rory,
    Thank you for your very informative discussions. After your podcast episode on ‘early warning signs of fascism’, I was reminded of the German book ‘Die Welle’ by Todd Strasser (also made into a German Film in 2008 and published as ‘The Wave’ in English). I wondered if either of you have read it?

  2. What the hell is this crap? You obviously live on the media propaganda and know nothing about reality. Leave us the hell alone. We will hold you accountable to your vile lies about DJT. Try looking to the Globalists and write about their agenda where the real dangers lie.

  3. Outstanding episode.
    Thank you!
    But why oh why, at 50 minutes does Rory have to tell us that his friend with the dangerous opinions is Jewish? What is the relevance of his religion? I do hope that Rory’s very apparent anti Zionism doesn’t slip into Anti Semitism.
    Otherwise power to your Pod!
