“The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.” ― Goethe

In the first interview of the Fifth Column podcast, Gerry shares a conversation with Rev. Michael Thompson, an ordained priest, lawyer, activist, and dear friend, about the importance of community in increasingly hostile times, the true biblical message, and taking a stand against the New American Barbarism.

The Fifth Column Trailer

“If the father is a hero, the son is a real man. If the father is a reactionary, the son is a bastard. That’s basically how it works.”
A slogan used by Beijing Red Guards, 1966

The Cultural Revolution left lasting wounds in Chinese society, with memories of trauma, loss, isolation and death widespread among survivors.

The MAGA Revolution may yet inflict these terrors on American society. Our only hope is that the millions who oppose this descent into backwardness and madness stand together to resist it.

01 - The Cultural Revolution

The Fifth Column is a weekly wartime journal documenting the erosion of the American Republic. 

Through interviews and creative commentary, we aim to build a space for community, for imagination, and for dissent against the ever-growing shadow of American fasc1sm.

Hosted by Gerald Denis, molecular biologist and cancer researcher based in Boston, Massachusetts.
