Mox will also be joined by friend and activist Alex Reid to discuss the Canadian Residential School tragedy, the LandBack Manifesto, and the often overlooked issues of today's Native People.   Thank you all so much for tuning in every Monday this season, it has been a pleasure and an honor.

On today's episode, Moxy gives the gang the run down on how the continuation of  racist policy undoes the little progress made for the enslaved populations  shortly after the Civil War of America and how without addressing the shortcomings that were manifested by the Government of that era and societal opinion, the oppressive nature simply changed to more cryptic ideology and their silent agreements that lead to curation of Sundown Towns. If a slave were to become a freed man, the tyranny they faced was that of bureaucratic exclusion, and negligence from a system and a people that purely relied on their exploitable existence up to this point.

On today's episode we welcome back our friend Ian to further dive into his question from last week and discuss unreleased albums that left us with an crystal case sized hole in our hearts. Are CD's still relevant? Or am I slowly losing my cool. We also look that losses that the music community had over the last few weeks and talk about how Slipknot and Joey Jordison paved a way for Metal in the mainstream.    Thanks to all the artists that gave us the go ahead for today's music, we have some rad musical contributions to today's episode of the pod. fallfifftyfeet (wheeling, wv usa) Days N Daze (Houston, TX)  Septage (Copenhagen, Denmark)  Frontierer (Scotland, UK)  SLUGSS (PGH, PA USA)   MouthBreather (Boston, MA USA)  Ether Coven (New Orleans, LA USA)  Thank you again for supporting this podcast, and if you liked it share it with a friend! 

Trigger Warning, This episode's discussion includes anti-semetic ideologies. Today Moxy leads us through the deep propaganda of The Protocols of the Elder of Zion, an anti-Semitic document that has a long history of being recycle to be used as a tool of influence against whichever group that Colonizers of the time sought fit to exploit. I hate Nazi's.  Oh, and why is ol' Henry Ford involved with the Protocols of E.o.Z? He printed and distributed it just about everywhere his cars could reach.  We also talk Fordism..which is a clever term for Fascism.  As always, thanks for listening and if you like what you heard, share it with a friend and maybe they'll share it with their friend. That would be great. Lets unlearn together!  Here's an Article from the Washington Post that we refer to within the show. Thanks again!
