Robbie Martin is joined by Leslie Lee III from the Struggle Session podcast to pour out their love for the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League and go over the tumultuous and strange history of how this mega budget super hero movie redo came to be. Robbie opens with the uncanny resemblance between Snyder's depiction of DC comics character 'Granny Goodness' and Elizabeth Warren. As the episode progresses Leslie and Robbie get into the undeniable career boost Ben Affleck got following his film Argo which was essentially one giant CIA commercial in Oscar-bait form.

Description: Description: Robbie starts episode 4 of his ongoing United States Masonic History series with the Mexican-American war and delves into Albert Pike's role in the invasion of Mexico. Freemasonry was still popular but not as public during this time period except for one major architectural undertaking in Washington, DC, the Washington monument, designed by architect Robert Mills in the style of an Egyptian obelisk. Instead of being carved out of a single stone like ancient obelisks were, this obelisk was to be 5x larger, standing at 555 feet tall, the tallest structure in the world made from giant stone blocks, an obelisk of classic masonry. After an infamous duel between Albert Pike and Colonel Roane, Pike then decides to devote the rest of his studies and energy towards Freemasonry. Being deeply attracted to and intrigued by it's secrets, Albert Pike ascends to the 32nd degree of the Scottish Rite in only 3 years and then got the idea that it was his mission to not just re-write the entire 4th-32nd degree rituals but to re-invent Freemasonry itself.

Full episode synopsis: 
Robbie Martin continues the Freemasonic History of the United States with Part 5 starting with speculation on Abraham Lincoln's potential Freemasonry. Robbie then moves onto the Civil War and how Albert Pike became a Confederate General tasked with recruiting the '5 Civilized Tribes' of Native Americans to the Confederate side in the war. Pike ended up commanding over 1,000 Native American soldiers in the battle of Pea Ridge resulting in great controversy that would haunt him for the rest of his life. Before the war was over a secret society Freemasonic inspired group called the Knights of the Golden Circle conspired to kidnap and assassinate Abraham Lincoln but the actual assassination itself was carried out by KGC member John Wilkes Booth. In an act of Masonic solidarity Albert Pike ends up being redeemed after the war by fellow Scottish Rite Freemason, President Andrew Johnson. The Knights of the Golden circle eventually evolved into what we know now today as the Ku Klux Klan.
