Episode 469 - WORLD WAR ZERO W/ SEAN PATRICK HAZLETT

There has been a lot of controversial news coverage lately about a symbol empowered by the Russian troops and that is the letter or symbol, “Z.” The media is now calling it the Russian version of the Swastika while some military analysts are saying it its where the units originate from. It can be argued that the open use of occult symbols or sigils, base thematics, immoral memes, and fetishism are luring people towards aberrant ideologies and a ritual initiation as we are in Year Zero. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with US Army veteran and speculative fiction writer, Sean Patrick Hazlett about WORD WAR ZERO.
