You work is always interesting. Any chance you can offer mp3s? I know you have a ton of work, not complaining, but it would make your content more accessible.

The closest thing I've got are the audio links on Soundcloud. I think there is a download option for each file https://soundcloud.com/mattehret

There certainly has been plenty of reducing nations to ashes, but very little 'nation building', in recent times, whether in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria etc. Gaza and Lebanon being works in progress

I didn’t watch the rest of your video when you mixed up the Jesuits with the crusades. The Jesuits were counter-reformation group—that is, they were after the Protestant Revolution. The Templars were in the 13th century. Imagine that the Pilgrims were landing in modern Boston, that’s how off your history is. If you are writing non-fiction you can’t make these kinds of mistakes because it discredits everything you say even if some of it might be true.

I never made the claim that the Jesuits were involved in the Crusades. Watch the video. I build the case that the Jesuits are a re-branded versions of the Templars post crusades
