Show Notes
In this episode, I discuss the history of the controversial wartime power that Trump has invoked to justify his mass deportations and the importance of the inalienable rights of due process and habeas corpus, granted by the constitution to all persons, that he is seeking to strip away.
UPDATE: a few weeks after the production of this episode, the Supreme Court further contributed to Trump's centralization of power by limiting nationwide injunctions. Now if the courts determine that any executive action is unlawful or unconstitutional in one case, it is powerless to prevent the President from doing the same thing again and again.
I encourage you to visit 5calls.org and find their page to help you demand that this administration Bring Abrego Garcia Home and Stop Trump’s Plan to Traffic Civilians to a Foreign Gulag, as well as their pages to Protest the Unlawful Deportation of Venezuelan Immigrants to El Salvador and demand that your governor Deny Trump’s Police State Tactics for Deportations. But more than this, get out to a protest in your area if you can. On June 14th, massive No Kings protests are being planned all over the country to coincide with Trump’s birthday celebration.

In my last spooky episode for October, I look at the widely spread legend of a creature roaming the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The Jersey Devil is said to a monstrosity, with a horse's head and bat wings, borne of a witch and now preying upon the unwary traveler through the woods. Where did this legend come from? Finding its birth will take us from the early 20th century back to the colonial era, and along the way we'll meet monster hunters, hoaxers, astrologers, schismatic Quakers, and Ben Franklin!
In my first spooky episode for October, I look at the real, historical basis of Washington Irving's story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, as well as the folklore on which he may have drawn in inventing the story's iconic vengeful ghost.
In this new episode, I explore the various claims about the origins of the Irish people and a certain legendary magical stone, which requires debunking the pseudohistories of British Israelism.
In the last part of my series on belief in the historicity of Atlantis, I look at the problems with all the many places proposed as the actual location of Atlantis.
In part 2 of my series on belief in the historicity of Atlantis, I look at how the myth was kept alive through the ages because it conveniently served the arguments of philosophers and lent weight to the fictions and racial ideologies of colonialists, mystic charlatans, and white supremacists.
