Is the daily barrage of hypocrisy and lies you’re being fed getting to you? Do you feel sick, agitated, or anxious, and don’t know why? Join your hosts Dick and Don as they excavate the contemporary capitalist hellscape in which we find ourselves in search of the cause of our collective malaise. Follow along as we dig deep into historical persons, places, and events to expose what’s been concealed, and reveal the US-led global order for what it truly is: the Fourth Reich.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-12T14:20:18.557878+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fourth-reich-archaeology-6979150"},"episode":{"title":"#086 - Contra Iran, Part 2","slug":"086-contra-iran-part-2","published_at":"2026-03-06T09:41:51+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fourth-reich-archaeology-6979150/086-contra-iran-part-2","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/fourth-reich-archaeology-6979150","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fourth-reich-archaeology/episodes/086---Contra-Iran--Part-2-e3g18i6","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/f94a82ac/podcast/play/116482054/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-2-6%2F388d81bb-3b42-e698-d9e3-bbc40306d325.mp3","summary":"We are coming in hot this week to give you our take on the “war” with Iran. We cover the Official Narrative (inasmuch as there even is one—and if there is it’s utterly incoherent), and a number of the alternative narratives. We call out the criminality and cruelty of the murderous plot against the Iranian people, and detangle the respective roles of Israel and the U.S. ruling class. While many critical discourses around the war against Iran pay lip service to the condemnation of Ayatollah Khamenei, and even celebration or mockery of his death, we consider the actual consequences of this sort of dehumanization. The propaganda machine—the spectacle—is operating on all cylinders to cook up new ways to blame the cravenness and psychopathy of the ruling class on the patsy-du-jour. Will the mainstream, or even a major presidential candidate, follow Tuckkker Carlson’s lead in blaming “the joos” for controlling Trump and the American government like puppets? Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes have, as are increasing numbers of observers justifiably biased against the genocidal Israeli state. Of course blaming Jews for the crimes of the ruling class is a psyop that dates back to Tsarist Russia, and was detailed in depth by Lenin. Here on Fourth Reich Archaeology, we always seek to analyze events through the lens of the immortal science of historical materialism. Dig in and shovel up: this is no joke.
