  • Tom Carver Interview

    Anthony, I almost passed over this interview and I’m glad I didn’t – it was one of the best you have done. Reminded me of reading the story of Pino Lella liberating Jews across the Alps into Switzerland. Tom and his Britishness makes for great storytelling. I can’t wait for the book to arrive.

  • “To Catch a Fascist: The Fight to Expose the Radical Right”. Enlightening !!

    Anthony, you really need to have a detailed interview with the Author Christopher Mathis as to his new book“To Catch a Fascist: The Fight to Expose the Radical Right”. N.b, he was on Molly’s Pod Monday. This book totally enlightened me as to Antifa.

    Now here is a group to send money too.

    Dems fail to associate every WWII combat veteran as a card carrying Antifa member, by NOT pointing out the fact that you can’t get more Antifa than landing on Normandy or being at Mid-way etc…
