Episode Notes:

Sidney Watson tweet about leaving You Are Here

"I left the show. There were a multitude of reasons for doing so. Ultimately, the professional situation morphed into something untenable. Twoards the end, I was extremely unhappy. Like I mentioned before, I was pouring from an empty cup and while I tried to be professional and happy for you all on air, it wasn't sustainable."

Elijah Schaffer tweet regarding being "professionally dumped."

Buffalo shooter targeted Black neighborhood, officials say

Opening of the manifesto:

What you need to know

If there’s one thing I want you to get from these writings, it’s that White birth rates must
change. Everyday the White population becomes fewer in number. To maintain a population the
people must achieve a birth rate that reaches replacement fertility levels, in the western world
that is about 2.06 births per woman."

Closing of the manifesto:

As for me, my time has come. I cannot guarantee my success. All I know is the certainty
of my will and the necessity of my cause. Live or die, know I did it all for you; my friends, my
family, my people, my culture, my race.
Goodbye, God bless you all and I hope to see you in Valhalla.

From us to the shooter: Fuck you. There is no place in Valhalla for you.

0:39.5	There is no political future when you have no candidates, you appeal to an extremely
0:43.4	small number of people to the point where you have to lie about the number of people
