New! Qanon: How we got here - Old ladies in tennis shoes derail the Deep State

We find ourselves falling deeper into the history of the John Birch Society, Robert Welch's baby, and the anti-communist organization that seemed so fringey in the mid-20th century, yet seems so clearly a prologue to Qanon today.

See you in a couple of weeks with more exciting adventures in red-baiting!
