History repeats (or echoes): The Smithsonian Channel's "America' Hidden Stories". Two new episodes.

The second season of "America's Hidden Stories" has dropped two titles that are very relevant to today. The first is about a Nazi plot to interfere with an American election, FDR's. Sound familiar? The second is "The Klan Makes a Movie." Think it is about "Birth of a Nation"? It ain't! It is about a movie called, "The Toll of Justice". Throughout the Smithsonian program, it demonstrates how the reconstituted Klan struggled, then worked to rebuild the Klan into a more "sympathetic" group. See, the Klan wasn't really a hate group, it was interested in the health and well-being of the American nation and her people. Sound familiar?

I learned a new term, Miafa. It was a rebranding of the KKK. It means, "My interests are for America." Coming to a MAGA rally soon?

I really do suggest you watch both if you are able to do so. The historical relevance is fucking scary!
