Today’s two guests were purged from mainstream literature and journalism, respectively, for the crime of questioning our culture’s hegemonic narratives…that is, for doing their jobs. First hour: Ex-mainstream journalist turned mushroom-gatherer Tom Mysiewicz stood up to the Zionist Power Configuration and lived to tell the tale. Unlike certain other red-pilled conservatives, Tom isn’t swigging any...
ListenLinh Dinh used to be one of America’s best up-and-coming writers. Now he is one of Vietnam’s best! Why would someone with Linh’s talent leave the USA?
