The John Mason Talk-Walk, September 28, 2024
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I speak of the latest book from the far-right, Unhumans: the Secret History of Comunist Revolutions (and How To Crush Them), the demonization of their opponents to the Left of them, and how such Republican luminaries as JD Vance and Donald Trump jr. endorse the book.

Hello, hello, hello, how is everybody? This is John Mason. Tomorrow is Mother's Day. And that is the time we pay our respects to all the women in our lives, our mothers and our wives, and our girlfriends, and our sisters, and every other woman that we come across. Happy Mother's Day, ladies. And if we want the best for the women in our lives, we must protect our reproductive rights. There are all these states going around that places the most onerous restrictions on abortions. Like you only have an abortion after so many weeks before you even know the woman even knows that there's a fetus inside of her. And you remembered uh Katie Brett, the senator from Arkansas, who had this very ham bad case of ham acting after Biden's uh State of the Union address. Is that the best Republicans can do? Well, anyway, she has this bright idea of a database. She's proposing this bill that would establish a database for all women who are pregnant. Hello, hello, hello, John Mason. How's everybody? Hope you're all well. Rosh Hashona, the Jewish New Year is coming up. As my peep say, I wish you a happy and prosperous new year. May all kinds of good things come to you. Well one another bad thing has come up, which kind of shows you where the Republican Party is at right now. I've been telling you all the time about Project 2025, the latest brain tumor to come out of the Heritage Foundation. I'm sure you're familiar with it by now. And now, Project 2025 has an evil-looking baby brother. It's called the book. The book is called Unhumans. The authors are Jack Prosobiek and Joshua Lysek. Lizak is a professional ghostwriter, and Prosobiec has been in the uh far right media ecosystem for a long time. I remember he he spoke at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Committee, one time, and he said that uh talked about how the gist of it was that he thought that democracy was a bad idea. And in this book, a pro-Sobiac and Lysek now claim that speak as if their political opponents, like social democrats like me, liberals, progressives, democratic socialists, anyone to the left, and not just wrong and you disagree with them and you run against them. They are people of anti-civilization, as one part of the book says. For as long as one quote is, for as long as there have been beauty and truth, love and life, there have also been the ugly liars who hate and kill. And for Sobiach and Lysac, those evil forces uh morph over time from Russian Bolsheviks to DEI programs in universities, to affirmative action programs, to people asserting themselves. In other words, they don't consider us human. They consider us monsters and monsters who rob and kill and rape and destroy. They just want to destroy good Christian Americans, such as, oh, say, Prosobiac and Isaac. To give you the idea of this book, it's the the foreword is written by Steve Bannon. You know Steve Bannon, the podcaster, was on Trump's staff, and he's doing time in a federal prison. Have fun, you little bastard. And also, and also the also Donald Trump Jr. has given good reviews of it. Also Tucker Carlson. And he to the for one thing, prosoviac was a fan fan of the fascist regime of Frank Francisco Franco in Spain and of Augusto Pinochet in Chile. Such good Christian men who tortured and killed their opponents in the most vicious ways. And for Soviet analysis, the civil rights movement, critics of haste speech, black lives matter. It's from the inhuman. And one guy who has written a blurb about it is JD Vance. You know J.D. Vance run for vice president under Trump. And it gives like they actually bel I mean it's not just a disagreement. It's a five to Persobik and Lysak and their ilk. It's a battle of good and evil, and we're the evil ones who have to be destroyed. And if it's because we're so evil. What does and what does that sound like? And it sounds like a hell of a lot, a hell of a lot like the old story about the international Jewish conspiracy to overthrow civilization, whatever the hell that is. I mean civilization. So that's who we're up against. Oh, and also been supported by uh Michael Flynn. You know, General he was a general who pro-J-Trump general who fell into disgrace. In short, everybody from the left is inhuman on the left is inhuman and therefore must be destroyed in a second Trump administration, which we must make damn sure there isn't one. Suit.

It is the story of David Lucas, who, as a young man in the early 60s, is a drunk and a whore chaser and a school bully. He gets in trouble in the army.

This is serious business, kids. They're gonna destroy our democracy and destroy us. They know they're not in the majority. They know that. That's why they're hoping for the electoral college and supreme court to bail them out. Two very undemocratic institutions. I believe in the elimination of the Electoral College. There's been some talk about eliminating the Senate because it doesn't really represent the people, but I'm not gonna go that far. Please involve yourself in the political system. Make sure you're registered to vote and use your vote November 5th. See? You know what's at stake here. Our democracy, our freedom. And on that cheery note, Le Shana Tova. A sweet, happy, and prosperous New Year's to all of you. Bye.
