Second Monthly Patreon Talk for July: Sleepwalking Into WWIII: Cuban Missile Crisis, Nuclear War and The Meaning of The Coup of 11/22/1963

Events in and around Iran, Ukraine and Rus­sia appear des­tined to ignite a Third World War. JFK avoid­ed that in Cuba, deft­ly maneu­ver­ing around a Nation­al Secu­ri­ty Estab­lish­ment that was push­ing for a nuclear first strike on the U.S.S.R. As peo­ple with an oblig­a­tion to our descen­dants, we have the respon­si­bil­i­ty to pre­serve a record of the events lead­ing to the col­lapse of our social and polit­i­cal milieu. There is no bet­ter way of ful­fill­ing that oblig­a­tion than by obtain­ing the lat­est flash dri­ve, con­tain­ing all of Dav­e’s 45+ years on the air and a library of old anti-fas­cist books.
