The Ku Klux Klan, debutantes, Monsanto Chemical and an orientalist poem about a veiled villain. Let's take a look at the creepy "veiled prophet" based in Saint Louis, Missouri. It's a men's club of rich and powerful locals dedicated to crushing labor movements and parading their daughters in front of each other. Ellie Kemper (Erin from NBC sitcom The Office) was crowned their "Queen of Love and Beauty" in 1999. But activists played a role in revealing their racist past. Saint Louis journalist Devin Thomas O'Shea guest writes the episode.

The gal swinging down in a ballgown to unmask the scooby doo villain was the most anime thing I've ever heard in my life. That needs to be a mural or something

As someone who grew up in St Louis, I now find myself wondering which of my schoolmates went to this bizarre thing

This episode reminds me of the Walker family, aka George Herbert *Walker* Bush’s maternal side and the source of much of the Bush family’s wealth and power. From Jacob Weisberg’s book “The Bush Tragedy”: “David Davis Walker (1840–1918), moved to St. Louis where he made his fortune as a dry goods wholesaler. In the Midwest, David Walker maintained the Southern attitude about race, though with a contemporary overlay of social Darwinism. He was a believer in eugenics and the “unwritten law” of lynching. In a letter to the editor of the St. Louis Republic published in 1914, David Walker described Negroes as a greater menace than prostitution and “all the other evils combined.”” ^This is George HW Bush’s great-grandfather.

So True Detective season 4 will be in St. Louis.

Another Stl ep. Wish I could have been at the Grafton freakshow. Devin has been killing these podcast appearances. Checkout his True Anon on the Busch family if anyone hasn't.

Its always nice to hear stories about my cities sussness. The mafia here would make a great episode too. Or at least the war that was over vending machines

Needs More Marxism

You guys should do an episode on the “Franklin Scandal”. Apparently Wikipedia lists it as a hoax, but Chapo Trap House just did an episode on it and their guest was pretty convincing. It’s right in the QAA wheelhouse.

So it's like those purity balls but even more creepy and sinister. Like that's even possible.

That Thomas Moore poem does a shit job retelling the story of the one-eyed al-Muqanna’ (lit. The Veiled One, an 8th century Sogdian revolutionary).

He’s a real historical figure, and he lost his eye in battle. He died by suicide after a prolonged siege.
