Breaking Free of Psyops Ep. 18: Khazaria

Fresh off last week's fallout, Matthew Ehret dives straight into the deep end of internet conspiracy lore: the Khazarian empire. If you've ever heard someone blame the world's problems on "Khazarian mafia" bloodlines, this episode traces that idea back to its unlikely source, including a certain shape shifting lizard theorist from the late 90s, and asks how much of the popular Khazarian narrative actually holds up against the historical record. Ehret builds on his prior conversation about chivalric orders, Templar banking networks, and the Hofjuden families, and pushes back on accusations that he is running interference for anyone. Expect a wander through the 8th century alliance between Charlemagne and Harun al Rashid, a Jewish diplomat who helped broker peace between Christian and Muslim worlds, and a broader argument about who benefits when history gets reduced to a single villainous bloodline. Buckle up for another dense one.
