Fritz expands the scope of Arc 4 for an episode to introduce the Gehlen Organization, a network of Nazis bankrolled by US Intelligence and America's main source of information on the Soviet Union after WW2 who set the pace for 'Cold War' anti-communist hysteria. This is part one of a multipart look at Christopher Simpson's 1988 book, Blowback: Americas Recruitment of Nazis and Its Effects on the Cold War.

This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system. And how to get rid of all that. Something like that...

Why was Six in charge of Department 7 but not 9? Because 7 ate 9.

A fun little filip on Rey's insight from Miss Manners Dear Miss Manners: I am a lawyer of some age, having had a license for more than 40 years. I often have to address written communications to female colleagues. When I began practicing, it was observed that the title “Esq.” was exclusively for male lawyers, no females having been squires. In letters, females were addressed as “Atty.” Those who inquired were told the female version of “Esq” was “Good Wife.” Now, my habit of referring to women as “Atty.” has come under fire, notably when I upbraided a woman for listing herself with the honorific “Esq.” The dictionaries now state that it is a unisex term. I’m not so sure. What does Miss Manners think about using the term “Esq” after a woman lawyer’s name? Gentle reader: That it is no sillier than using it after the names of male lawyers. You aren’t squires, either — hereditary country landowners or medieval attendants on knights. Presumably, the custom of using this was adopted to assert that lawyers were gentlemen, as they were not always thought to be among those who rated gentlemanliness by birth.But it has always struck Miss Manners as odd in a country where we never thought an honest, working professional needed to proclaim “gentle” status. Why you would want to provoke your colleagues by upbraiding them and suggesting the obsolete term “Good Wife” (which referred to a manager, such as a landlady), Miss Manners cannot imagine. If she were your lawyer, she would advise you to stop this right now, before you get into serious trouble.
