Fran Quigley, the author of Religious Socialism: Faith in Action for a Better World (Orbis Books) joins the conversation to discuss the long history of socialism in religious communities.

We also got to talking about the greats, from Eugene Debs to Cornel West, Angela Cowser and Colleen Shaddox. We also feature a long (and persuasive, I might add) pitch to join the DSA's Religion and Socialism Working Group!

*****In the conversation we cover sensitive topics such as child sexual abuse .**** Dr. Audrey Clare Farley rejoins the pod to discuss her new book Girls and Their Monsters: The Genain Quadruplets and the Making of Madness in America . In the early 20th Century a set of quadruplet girls became instant celebrities. Like many childhood stars the story becomes complex and dark under the surface. Audrey and I discuss the shadow sides of human nature as well as my own personal experience being a twin...though thankfully my story is vastly different than the quadruplets! -------------------------- Support Dissident Orthodoxy on Patreon Rate/Review Dissident Orthodoxy on Apple Podcasts Follow Casey's substack…

Stephen Kinzer returns to discuss the coverage and lack of debate on the war between Russia and Ukraine. Bringing his well-earned experience to bear Stephen calls attention to the realities of war and the need for a rational conversation about a peaceful end to the conflict. We also discuss the existential risk of nuclear war and the US's lack of moral standing to wage yet another proxy war. We also cover common objections (sometimes waged in good faith!) to supporting a cease fire in Ukraine. --------- Stephen Kinzer is an award-winning foreign correspondent who has covered more than 50 countries on five continents. His articles and books have led the Washington Post to place him “among the best in popular foreign policy storytelling.” Kinzer spent more than 20 years working for the New York Times, most of it as a foreign correspondent. His foreign postings placed him at the center of historic events and, at times, in the line of fire.

The justification for war is as endless as the long and virtually unbroken record of war in the US. Is there another way to understand the destruction of Ukraine and the potentialities of direct US or NATO military engagement with Russia? Does it make sense to continue funding a war instead of forcing a peace deal? Is it too late to give peace a chance? Casey reads his latest substack piece about the endless loop of war propaganda we find ourselves enmeshed in once again. It's not too late to fight for peace but the time to do so is now.

Ok we've established that the CIA is and has always been an institution that has been up to no good. We've also discussed the fact that Wild Bill Donovan was more than ready from the beginning to use religion as a tool for spycraft both domestically and abroad. This week we complicate matters with the story of the missionary-turned-spies in Germany at the beginning of WWII with Dr. Matthew Avery Sutton discussing his book Double Crossed: The Missionaries Who Spied for the United States During the Second World War . We get into the ethics of deceit, of being used by a government apparatus in the extreme circumstances of Nazi Germany. Are there lessons for today? What does it mean to make decisions when there don't seem to be good options? I'd love to hear your feedback on this conversation!

Is nothing sacred? When it comes to American exceptionalism, at least religious practice sure isn't. As Dr. Michael Graziano discusses in this episode, right from the beginnings of the CIA, part of the strategy to advance American interests around the world was the co-opting of religion. The conversation touches on the overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran and the resulting Islamic Revolution of 1979, denigration of Buddhism leading into the Vietnam War and the religious backlash to 9/11.

Since at least the early Trump days a curious thing has happened among the liberal/left. Instead of reviling the FBI and viewing it as a tool to enforce Capitalism these same government spooks have become heroes. The bizarre trend goes on with the recent raid of Trump's files in Mar a Lago. Since when is the left supposed to be allied with the DOJ and FBI? Dean Strang - the defense lawyer we all know from Netflix's 2015 Making a Murderer - joins to tell the wild story of how the Department of Justice took on its power in the early 1900's. Yes, their first act was to crush the Wobblies (IWW). You can read all about it in his 2019 book Keep the Wretches in Order: America's Biggest Mass Trial, the Rise of the Justice Department, and the Fall of the IWW . --------------------------------------------------- Dean Strang is a criminal defense lawyer and author of two books of legal history that explore the experience of outsiders and newcomers in the U.S. judicial process during the World War I era.

Union organizing is in the news for the first time in many of our lifetimes. Christian Smalls and the Amazon Labor Union has inspired workers at Starbucks, Chipotle and brought into focus the traditional unions like the Warrior Met coal miners on strike in Brookwood, Alabama. But what if all of these workers got together - all of us - in the states and internationally - and stood up together against the 1%? That was the Wobblies' idea at the beginning of the 20th Century. Dr. Peter Cole joins the conversation to talk about the legacy and relevance of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Peter Cole is Professor of History at Western Illinois University and Research Associate at the Society, Work and Development Institute, University of the Witwatersrand. He is the author of Wobblies on the Waterfront (University of Illinois Press, 2007) and editor of Wobblies of the World (Pluto, 2017).
