There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

Today I learned the Ugandan warlord General Butt-Fucking-Naked from the Book of Mormon musical was based on a real guy.
What many don't appreciate is that slavery lasted so long that repatriation to Africa was impossible because slaves were many generations separated from the original kidnapped slaves and between that and family separation there was no remaining identity. Their homeland was America for generations.
Yeah but Jefferson and some of these abolitionists making these comments were doing so at a time where many slaves were 1st-3rd gen and likely would’ve preferred going back home. Also the slaves our military/navy liberated from bondage were probably grateful to be dropped off in Liberia as opposed to a US with deep slavery institutions still.
Couldn’t the reparations go to maybe a centralised system maybe the African Union? Or couldn’t the slavers establish a consortium NGO with the express mission to distribute reparations in various ways, like a UN of sorts?
Going to admit, I first thought this said Librarian Civil War and I was more intrigued.
Weird fucking flex but ok...
That was the dewey episode 😂
I thought it said Libertarian at first
@autumnonawhim same and honestly General butt-naked made sense to me for that.
Weirdo
something i find really profound about the idea of taking body parts as retaliation for colonialism is that the colonizers weren't just extracting value from the land itself but extracting value from the bodies of the people under their rule, using them up to turn a profit. the cultural aspects of that relationship really reminds me of a "zombie" as described by some of the enslaved people of haiti, an evolution of old folklore to describe an enslaved person who had been so broken and used up that there wasn't any life left in their body, they were just a husk of who they used to be, a walking corpse
Exactly! Even the core concept of the person being "brought back from the dead" could stem from colonialism. When a person is captured, they disappear from their friends and family and have to eventually be presumed dead. But then, years later, they're found to be a scar-covered husk working constantly on manual labor. If you believe in the nobility of the human soul, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that the original person died and their body is being puppeted instead of the truth that they are a victim of systematic psychological torture designed to break their will until they accept becoming a slave.
@@liger04 if i remember correctly it was also common for colonizers to convince the enslaved people that they were magic practitioners and could turn them into zombies if they disobeyed
@@liger04nobody, “accepted” being a slave. And the issue of the thinking that these folks are turned zombie ignores the resilience of the surviving and moreover logics that even once freed they are a lost cause of people.
@@hammerheadshark45there is no widespread evidence of this.
I almost believed the Chuck Taylor / president Charles Taylor thing… I was previously certain that they were absolutely different people… but damnit Robert, you’re just so convincing.
Everyone gets 1 lie.
Dude walks into Ghana and they're just instantly "oh that guy's an op," good eye guys
First episode released after Kissingers death (same day too!)! Woohoo!!! :D
Definitely a relevant time to re-air this
The TH-cam release schedule confuses the hell outta me
in anthropology we learn a lot about the body and power. maybe that's the word shireen is looking for
This sounds like an alternate title for a Beavis and Butt-Head movie.
Vice News did a fantastic episode on this guy, and Liberia in general, called "Cannibal Warlords of Liberia."
This was in fact weeks after Good Friday
“I was gonna burn my converse”
Your already purchased, hypothetical-Chuck-Taylor already having your money, converse?
i remember reading a novel in college about a man who had been "sent back" to liberia and he was writing letters to his former slave owner
I'm a few minutes in but by the title I'm guessing this is the kind of episode that involves bizarre shit like assassinating people with venomous snakes in the post.
Yay it's Shereen, one of my favorite guests!
6:36
It seems like Jefferson is saying Black people should be given full citizenship to AVOID destruction of the US or one of the races.
For Hindus, north Indians do celebrate Holi around this time, and in the South, Tamil New Year is in mid April, usually.
"Black people had been temporarily degraded by slavery"
That's called trauma
Converse is a Nike subsidiary at this point and HFS we need a Phil Knight episode so very, very badly
You guys should complain to TH-cam. I know you lose money when I skip ads, but there's no goddamn way I'm watching a PragerU ad that's only seven minutes shorter than this video.
An important note: Converse is owned by Nike. So even though Robert's bit was a bit, that ceo should still have some horrible things happen to him, allegedly.
Did you mention that Liberia doesn't use Metric? Along with Myanmar.
I'm pretty sure at least Christianity's Christmas (and probably other religion's holidays) is when it is because that's when the [what we would now call] pagan winter solstice already was
Allegedly lied to ONE time...
Trigger warning for racist language.
That kind of racism still very much exists in parts of the South. I grew up in rural south Georgia and remember seeing bumper stickers that read "if my understood how the future turned out, they would have picked their own cotton" those aren't the exact words, but that is the idea they convey. It is a genuinely repulsive thing to say and could only be said by someone who is painfully ignorant about the real history of America. The most shitty part is how the pain is experienced by everyone but the source.
Why won’t this guest stop whining and rambling.
Nobody's forcing you to listen.
