The Empire Never Ended

Game night at the Empire Never Ended! Boris, Fritz, and Rey are joined by some friends as they dive deep into the bewildering mess that is Nazi-made video games. In this experimental episode, Fritz hobbles through the barely-playable Zog's Nightmare 2 made by Aryan Nations-based company Resistance Records for the National Socialist Movement in 2007. He caps this off with a short tour of its fan-made sequel made for Combat 18. Fritz introduces other horrible games from the company and shows off his questionable collection of KKK versions of Mario Bros 1 and 2 and a pitiful Nazi re-texture of Wolfenstein 3D and. Also, a William Luther Pierce-inspired game throws Fritz's computer into chaos.

Tying off the gushing wound that is interwar American fascism, Fritz invites Boris and Rey down the twisted path of America First. TENE examines two early organized incarnations of this sentiment and gives a broad view of Americanist incubator that twice encouraged Nazis, capitalists, and politicians to join together under a common banner of isolationism, free markets, and anti-Semitism. Fritz explains the career of a bony racist geezer named James True, the "First Firster" whose America First, Inc. mixed anti-labor propaganda with openly Nazi sentiments as he sold custom-made truncheons for the coming pogrom. The main feature, the America First Committee, picks up the torch and turns America First into an 800k-strong movement of capitalists, cultural elites, Nazis, and general isolationists with American hero Charles Lindberg as their face. TENE takes a look at the bumbling FBI and the efforts of British Intelligence to keep American fascism at bay despite J. Edgar Hoover's best efforts. Also featuring: George Deatherage, military contract engineer and the ultimate KKK LARPer, George Sylvester Viereck and his scheme to turn the US Congressional Record into a Nazi printing press, and why Hermann Göring smelled like lion piss!
