    I learnt today that in 1940 there was a series of terrorist attacks around New York. It was a group calling themselves the Christian Front, and was led by a catholic priest called Father Coughlin. They blew up the biggest dynamite factory in the US and three other armament factories. They were part financed by the Nazis.

    The FBI amassed a ton of evidence and plans of mass murder of jews and serving troops. Dispite this, the jgovernment fucked up the prosecution and all were acquitted.

      I learned about this recently from Rachel Maddow’s Ultra podcast. It’s a crazy story and really puts current events into a better perspective. Highly recommended.

        Pretty upsetting that it isn’t part of US history classes.

        I’m sure Texas would ban those school books, so Houghton Mifflin doesn’t even bother.
