59: Minutemen - An American Stay-Behind Unit (and Pedos)

Rey goes all 'Oliver Stone' on the TENE crew with the Minutemen, America's own little 'Stay-Behind Unit' of feds and fash. Beginning in 1960, millionaire Robert DePugh - fashy loner pedo - founds the loose conglomeration of anti-communist militias called "The Minutemen", beholden only to an imaginary inner council. With an absurd level of state-sponsored impunity, DePugh commits crime after insane crime only for the authorities to look the other way time and again. Included in his inner circle are Robert N. Taylor, Odinist right-wing "libertarian" thought-leader and god-awful folk singer, as well as three stars of the 1991 film, JFK: Clay Shaw, the shifty New Orleans businessman, David Ferrie, lunatic pilot and alleged associate of Lee Harvey Oswald, and Guy Bannister, FBI employee and Minutemen coordinator. At what point does your fascist militia cease to be 'infiltrated' and simply becomes a para-state entity? Find out in this episode!
