How did Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer become a deranged conspiracy theorist? What led him down that toxic rabbit hole, and what exactly are the beliefs that led him to storm the Capitol on January 6?
It turns out most of Jon's anger and paranoia was centered around the Federal Reserve system, which conspiracy cranks believe is responsible for a sinister plot to impose a New World Order on the unsuspecting sheeple.
But what's the actual truth? What does the Federal Reserve actually do, and why do so many people believe monetary policy is the main instrument of global socialist tyranny?
These questions have dire implications for the state of modern political discourse, and that's why it takes two random guys from Wisconsin to break it down on a music podcast. Which is what we're gonna do. For two hours.
Enjoy!
