4 - Dear Brutus

Party of One

What’s the real difference between dissent and disloyalty? Why is “subversion” so subjective? And why does advocating for workers rights, affordable housing and racial equity make you a monster? We’re talking political persecution the American way, with a deep dive into one of our darkest chapters as a nation: The House Un-American Activities Committee or HUAC left a body count multiple generations long, all to protect an exclusive money scheme just starting to show how lucrative it could be. Find out why the FBI’s the FBI no matter who’s running shit in Washington.

Special thanks to guests Dan Bessie and Chip Gibbons.

From Maffick Podcasts, Party of One. Written, hosted, and produced by Amanda Getty and Gregory Haddock. Theme song by Jonathan Hurley. Production assistance by Frank Brody, Antonio Loya, and Ryan Wentz.
