The Empire Never Ended

Hundred Episodes! TENE meets in their Death Valley studio to recount their experience up to this point, but things get a little weird when Farb shows up in the bunker. Subscribe to patreon.org/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod

Fritz invites Boris and Rey down the twisted path of 'America First'. TENE examines two early organized incarnations of this sentiment and gives a broad view of this Americanist incubator that twice encouraged Nazi supporters, capitalists, and politicians to join together under a common banner of isolationism, free markets, and anti-Semitism.

TENE gets their grubby mitts on a rambling racist pamphlet written by Klansman John Kasper and his mentor, fascist propagandist and celebrated poet, Ezra Pound. Something between a cryptic ransom note and an exhausting policy document, "Virginians on Guard!" is a uniquely batshit screed about the dangers of miscegenation and its trojan horse, school integration. And rock-n'-roll... and boxing... you get the idea. Subscribe to patreon.org/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod.

Rey returns to Ezra's fashy career as a struggling propagandist for Mussolini's regime in Rome. TENE examines Pound's preferred fascism, the so-called "left wing", his support for the bloodthirsty Republic of Salo, and how Ezra got away with it.

TENE peeks in on Ezra Pound's radio propaganda during WWII and marvels at the frothy mix of anti-semitic conspiracies and impenetrable incoherence.   Subscribe to patreon.org/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod.  

The Empire Never Ended discusses the moment that poet Ezra Pound abandoned the idea of the artist as an aloof, socially disinterested individual, adopts one of an artist (himself) as a 'great man' who solves THE problem of society. Pound's solution? The "social credit" movement of Major Douglas, the "Free Money" ideas Silvio Gesell, and a lot of love for a certain Il Duce.

Things are not looking bright for the Order of Nine Angles. The Order loses their former 'Outer Representative' to love while Fed snitches and Sith Lords take the reigns. Nikola, the Orthodox Priest / Astral Bone Gnawer gets trolled on a live stream, and some of the most tedious fash fic yet from the mysterious Russian 'Temple of the Black Sun'.

TENE offers their initial thoughts on the invasion of Ukraine, the effects it's had on Russian and Ukrainian fascist groups, a Balkan perspective on hot takes from 'smarties', and some ways to offer solidarity to those trying to keep each other alive.

Boris completes TENE's soul-crushing look at the so-called "Creativity Movement" and its post-Klassen period of career whiner, Matt Hale. Bad literature, worse RPGs, and deadly violence characterize Hale's World Church of the Creator, which feels less like a church and more like a toilet wine hangover.

Boris, Fritz, and Rey watch the long-running public access cable show, Race & Reason, and despair.  TENE looks at the show's history and the fellas introduce its infamous host, White Aryan Resistance's Tom Metzger, as well as get into the nitty-gritty of a handful of his strangest interviews with a Fascist Wobbly, a Nazi Trot, and an NAACP Bircher.
