I'm kinda lost .  Maybe Hoagie will pull recap after the break.

Basically, he got stuck in Chile during the Allende overthrow and was exposed to Nazis in hiding and was arrested and imprisoned.

...mini Bavaria in the Helen GA USA

Cincinnati has an Over The Rhine area that was super German back in the day.

I almost forgot about the houses of  Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in England they are the Windsors.

Same here, I hope he asks Levenda about the secret space program.

Swastikas were always a positive symbol until Hitler adopted it.  There are plenty of houses in my hometown that still have them in chimneys.

True.
Counter-clockwise pointing swastica's have been a good luck symbol for thousands of years across many cultures. They are so old in fact, that there are swastika petraglyphs. The Nazi's turned the symbol around so the legs pointed clockwise for their symbol.

No, I was going to order them a few years ago but the shipping to Canada was way too high.  Totally forgot about them until now.

Maybe Canadian sellers on eBay?

RCH: "Can you limn out...?

Good word.  It fascinates me that RCH has a conversational knowledge of so many diverse subjects, as well as a much better than average vocabulary.  As far as I can determine, he has no academic credentials and is entirely self-taught.  Does anyone know differently? 

I've never heard Lavenda before...this is a fantastic show so far.

I've never found any evidence he has more than a high school diploma.  He started working as a museum curator right after high school and seems to have gone from there.

It's amazing how a geometric symbol can take on such meaning.

Yes.  It seems that whatever catches the eye and becomes popular for a cause (big or small) makes such an impact.  So much that the message and intent are secondary and only the image is important. (as a reminder....to the fault if the image)

I used to be Catholic...45 minutes is way too short. 

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

I was raised Catholic too.

[ShayP]

His funeral was BYOB?

[ShayP]

I was raised Catholic too.

sorry.


....no offense to YOU by any means. 

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

sorry.


....no offense to YOU by any means. 

No offense taken.  Besides, my beliefs have evolved or devolved, or something.

[ShayP]

No offense taken.  Besides, my beliefs have evolved or devolved, or something.

  ...me too.

[SaucyRossy]

This story is fng nuts.

[Mild Bill]

Yep, I was raised as a Catholic too, was an altar boy when the Mass was still in Latin.

[SaucyRossy]

It's hilarious

[ShayP]

OMG! Andy Williams.  He sang the best X-mas song ever.

You are an old fart aren't you!

This story is fng nuts.

It is. Forrest Gump's life looks boring compared to this.

[QuantumMystics]

^^^^^^That him?

[trostol]

Amazing, if so.  I wonder how someone goes from HS to being a museum curator.  It does seem that, over all the years and hours we've heard RCH on our radios, he's been meticulous about avoiding autobiographical detail. 

[SaucyRossy]

Peter Levenda is my new hero.

[Mild Bill]

You are an old fart aren't you!   

Oh, yeah!

[lonevoice]

It's hilarious

Yes. I could listen to Peter Lavenda talk for days.

Rendition of DNA as a  TORSION FIELD


Kind of looks like a double swastika to me.
