About this episode

Matt Ehret discusses the funding of white supremacists and the historical context of left/right dialectics as intelligence operations.

Who funds white supremacists? Apparently the Southern Poverty Law Center, to the tune of millions. Matt Ehret uses this jaw-dropping revelation as a launchpad into one of the most important recurring themes in modern history: the left/right dialectic as a top-down intelligence operation. From COINTELPRO and FBI-manufactured terror cells to the Scottish Rite networks that engineered the American Civil War, Ehret argues the game has never changed, only the costumes. He traces how British imperial interests used both abolitionists and confederates to destroy the union from within, and why figures like Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and MLK represent the rare cases of people successfully escaping the trap. He closes with a prescient warning: economic breakdown is the precondition for civil war, and someone is already running the playbook again.
