Behind the Bastards

Behind the Bastards

🛎 If You're New Subscribe ► bit.ly/BtBSubscribe

There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.

New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

    It's interesting to me how the arguments for slavery made at the time are reflected on the true justification for our modern capitalist mode of production. The rich don't want to equally share the burden of work required to maintain our society, they would much rather put the brunt of that work upon those without wealth, and maintain positions of management, leadership, etc.

    Jordan Peterson's video lectures seem amazing until you pause them and look up what he's talking about. While what he pushes is not inaccurate, there are a lot of leaps of logic. I think his downfall was believing his own mythos.

    This is one of the best and most accurate series so far. There's little to argue with here. Jefferson starts off idealistic but as he gets older he has to justify his continued slave holding and wealth. Just like conservatives of today he does so by arguing that he was born better, that he and his people have achieved more. Yeah, he's a bastard. The claim that white people can't work is a weird one. Did they not see all the poor white farmers and laborers? These were educated men, they knew their classical history, that the Greek and Roman societies they so admired were based on the labor of largely European slaves.

    Something else about the Bumper Boats that I read in several places said that the boats were so small that tall people had to ride with their legs draped over the sides, resulting in many people’s legs getting fractured from having boats leaking gasoline slamming into them. 😂😂😂

    Fantastic marketer, lol he did no press for his book and didn't even get royalties from the publisher from 1993-1998, but he allowed it to be sold just so it would get out. He also only had 4 adverisers in 9 years, not for lack of demand, but because he didn't take anyone. He ran his show from donations and selling audio tapes of his show. It cost him 10,000 a month to run his show, mostly to the shortwave radio station he contracted with. BTW his show was the 2nd most popular show on shortwave in the 90s.

    He has over 1600 hours of radio shows, why don't you go listen to them all, then you will realize that everyone who talks about Bill are ill informed. This is the worst version I've heard. His 4 part mind control series is incredible, and he sites his sources, unlike everyone else.

    Have you ever listened to Bills radio show? It's probably the most down to earth honest radio show in history. He did not ever allow any guest, which he had 100s, to speak conjecture, opinion, unless stated you were, or any information where you couldn't site your source.

    It's actually pretty scary that had I been a kid at this time and not the early 2000s, I might have ended up here. I was incredibly fidgety, I always blurted out in class, and I had violence and temper issues. Heck, I was in special needs from 1st -5th grade. Still, I don't think my parents or teachers would have advocated for this anyway.

    I think the greatest difference between a citizen soldier and slave master aristocracy warrior is resilience in a societal level. I like to compare the Roman Republic and Sparta. The republic bounced back from atrocious defeats and losses, best exemplified by the Second Punic War, as the populace railed for a long fight, and that seem to have been the real roman superpower. While the Spartans where probably the best warriors, they lived in fear of defeat, as the moment their army was gone their slaves would revolt and end them.

    5:40 - and THAT is the main problem in the U.S. I am from Europe, and I was NEVER anti-gay, but not because I am oh so wise, but because WE DO NOT HAVE THOSE BUBBLES. We talk to each other. We notice that the gay-haters are mostly just haters; if not the gays, they would hate some other group. You need to TALK to people. Living in the bubble is the death to any society. DO NOT ALLOW the right wingers to keep exploiting the bubble!

    "If N*groes are to be slaves on account of colour, the next step will be to enslave every Mulatto in the kingdom, then all the Portuguese, next the French, then the brown-complexioned English, and so on until there be only one free man left, which will be the man of palest complexion in the three kingdoms." And that man would be Irish. No wonder they didn't go for it.
