Ep. 91 Reissue: Assassination Ruminations

1 Recommendations

Please enjoy this reissued vintage DHP episode. Made all the way back in January of 2016, it suddenly has renewed relevance today!

Join CJ back in 2016 as he discusses:

An overview of all presidents who’ve died in office, whether from natural, unnatural, or disputed causes
A few words about other assassinations of important people in relatively recent history, such as Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.
A few words about recent deaths of important media figures that at least some people find questionable
How, in order to be intellectually honest, we have to be willing to accept a degree of uncertainty on many of these deaths and assassinations, and we must be willing to accept “I don’t know” and/or “we’ll never know for sure” where appropriate
How assassinations rarely result in any significant change to the track that the state is on when they occur, and how, more often than not, assassinations simply accelerate existing trends

Ep. 0269: Woodrow Wilson's Eugenicist: The Curious Case of Dr. Edwin Katzen-Ellenbogen

1 Recommendations

What if I told you that we can connect Woodrow Wilson to the Nazis in a single degree of separation?

No, this is not the zillionth illustration of Godwin's Law that you've seen this week; it is simply little-known historical fact.

In this dose of Dangerous History, we'll talk about the little-known eugenicist psychiatrist who drafted the eugenics sterilization bill that Woodrow Wilson signed into law in 1911 (during his brief tenure as Governor of New Jersey), and who later collaborated with the Nazis who ran the notorious Buchenwald concentration camp three decades later.

Join CJ as he discusses the life and career of Dr. Edwin Katzen-Ellenbogen, and the historical context in which they occurred.
