Fifth column

We- we know of new methods of attack.

The Trojan horse, the fifth column

Could have broken through.

Oh, shit.

On our Substack

...

Fifth Column Substack.

And there was one on the Substack.

That's Underground USA dot com.

And he's got his new book out, which is the American Fifth Column.

And you can find it right over there on Amazon.

So without further ado, let's say good morning to Frank Salvato.

All members of the 5 o'clock club, far and wide, no matter your time zone perspective, welcome one, welcome all.

And we are glad that you're there here on this Monday morning.

And we've got Frank Salvato from UndergroundUSA.com and, of course, author of the new book, The American Fifth Column, available on Amazon.

And once again, good morning, Frank.

I could also preach from the book Why Loyalty, but I'm using Loyalty and Disloyalty, chapter one.

Number two, second reason number two is to fight the fifth column.

Yeah.

Now, what is the fifth column? One day there was an army general who was invading a country, and he had four columns.

Everybody say four columns.

Four columns.

That's it.

I mean, that was the end.

So that's one point I wanna make.

Both my parents were born in the States, my mother in Seattle, my dad in LA, and their whole family was imprisoned by the United States government during World War II because the government purportedly feared that the Japanese American community would harbor Fifth Column, uh, spies.

Now, what people don't know is that the FBI actually did a investigation, and they concluded the Japanese Americans were not a military threat, but they lied about that to the public, and they lied about that in the Supreme Court.

So my parents were eleven and fifteen at the time when they were imprisoned, and the way I talk about that is if you're imprisoned for shoplifting, when you get out of prison, you don't shoplift anymore to show you're reformed.

[trumpet music] Let no one say that Britain is unprepared in the grave hour that is at hand.

Barbed wire and other defenses appear in the streets of London to guard important centers, to defeat Fifth Columnists, and any other enemies working among the civil population, and it's the same stories of these new defenses from all over the country.

[gentle music] In the lead-up to the war, in Great Britain there was this intensifying moral panic about traitors in our midst.

MI5 is taking the situation seriously, the government is taking it seriously, and people are wanting to dob in strangers, dob in their neighbors, and accuse them of being either Nazis or communists.

It was given a label of the Fifth Column, and that Fifth Columnists were people who were traitors.

That's Kathryn Biber, the legal historian from UTS we heard from in episode one.

She and her team have been researching the lives of lawyers who left Europe to escape the rise of fascism from the early 1930s.

It was because ordinary Londoners rolled, r- Londoners rolled their sleeves up and started fixing their communities because they knew the elected mayor wasn't gonna do anything of the sort.

Um, I, I, I think that there is a fifth column in this country, Steve, um, that we're not allowed to talk about and we're not allowed to mention, and it speaks to the very heart, uh, of your question.

Uh, Raheem, if you can hang on, uh, for one second, I wanna hold you through the break 'cause I wanna talk to you about, I wanna ask the question, do we have a fifth column here in the United States of America where you can talk about it?

You mentioned a fifth column.

The Trojan horse.

The fifth column.

The fifth column.

Scott Jennings, you are a contributor to CNN, one of the most recognizable senior contributors.

Excuse me, and appropriately so.

And like are you doing that at any sort of regular clip? And when you do that, can you deliver – That's sort of guidance to him directly.

Don't answer it, Scott.

To go on the fifth column? That's the guidance you're talking about? I mean, that would be an excellent recommendation if you haven't mentioned it to him, Scott.

If you don't mind, I am going to, um, talk about my late friend, Andrew Wimsatt.

Uh, anybody that's part of this podcast, You're reading what we're writing, part of the Fifth Column podcast if you watch Reason.

A lot of us have been talking this week about our late friend Andrew Wimsack, a good friend who was brutally murdered on Labor Day outside of Austin where he lived.

He was sitting in a park.

Always supportive.

You know, there was a while there where if you saw a clip of this podcast, it was made by him.

Oh, and the fifth column guys who had been podcasting for years had done nothing with their clips or their personal clips when they were on CNN.

And Andrew just, he basically pulled them into the 21st century and into video.

I knew him pretty well over the last like eight years or so.

He's a big fan of the Fifth Column podcast, super fan.

And just like shy, unassuming, never, you know, really talking too much about himself and just constantly trying to sort of spread good vibes about the things that he loved online.

Music super fan going all across the country to watch the slow dive.
