Description
Weird Little Guys is a weekly show about the worst people you’ve never heard of, taking you beyond the headlines to get to know the race warriors and aspiring terrorists trying to unravel the fabric of our society. Weaving together the origin stories of modern American white supremacist groups and the crimes that land their members in court, independent journalist Molly Conger exposes the monsters for what they really are - some weird guy. Whether they’re conspiring to build bombs or serving swastika shaped cookies at a dinner party, the weird little guys trying to destroy America are a little less scary with their masks off.

For the end of the year reruns, Weird Little Guys is revisiting the longest, strangest story of 2025 - the South Africa arc. Those eight episodes tell the strange story of how one little skinhead rally in California in 2012 connects to a vast international conspiracy to stop the election of Nelson Mandela in 1994. ---- The White House Weighs in on White Genocide Original Air Date: 2.27.25In February of 2012, racist skinheads in California rallied at the capitol building in Sacramento. They were trying to raise awareness for an imaginary problem - an ongoing genocide against white South African farmers. In February of 2025, the President of the United States signed an executive order stripping foreign aid from South Africa as punishment for that same imaginary problem. Sources:Falkof, Nicky. (2022).

But how did they get that idea in their heads? The rallies were put on by a group called The South Africa Project, run by a woman I'd never heard of.

When Frank Smith got out of prison in 1964, he went right back to working for the New England mafia. He also joined the American Nazi Party. And he had a dream that the two organizations could work together.Sources:https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/the-boston-irish-gang-wars-terrify-a-city/ https://www.nytimes.com/1965/11/04/archives/the-boston-gang-war-a-deadly-web-of-revenge.html https://mattofboston.com/boston-gang-wars-the-first-irish-gang-war-mclaughlin-v-mclean-introduction/ https://golocal24.com/golocal-launches-the-patriarca-papers-the-fbi-files-on-the-man-that-led-the-new-england-crime-family-for-nearly-50-years/ https://jimcrowmuseum.ferris.edu/pdfs-docs/origins/ms-littest55.pdf https://idahopotato.com/dr-potato/length-and-circumference-of-a-potato https://utia.tennessee.edu/cpa/wp-content/uploads/sites/106/2020/10/CPA-222.pdf Simonelli, Frederick J.

In 1976, the recently paroled assassin went back to prison after being arrested in Charlottesville. He was acquitted on the charge of being naked in a stranger's living room, but he'd violated his parole. He's tried to stay out of the spotlight ever since. Decades later, his son wrote that he was a changed man. His comments after the 2017 Unite the Right rally say otherwise.Sources:Schmaltz, William H. (2013).

love this show. let's see all you weird little guys squirm with some light on ya.
why are doing a Shatner? stop emoting.
Molly and Robert are a podcast dream team...like when Molly was on Behind the Bastards - absolutely hilarious!
Hi Molly, thanks for a great podcast. I'm catching up and thought you may like to know that not only did Dutton lose the election we had this weekend (3 May), but he lost his own seat as well.
The show host is so ignorant he is unaware that Hitler did not call his followers 'Nazis' nor 'Fascists'. Socialists will never explain that Hitler's flag symbol represented "S means SOCIALISM" (a top discovery by Historian Dr. Rex Curry). Hitler's flag is an IQ test. For proof just "describe the symbols for the groups NSV, SA, SS, & VW as if you are telling someone who cannot see the images". No where in Mein Kampf does Hitler ever self-identify by using the terms "Nazi" nor "Fascist". Mein Kampf shows Hitler repeatedly using the term "SOCIALIST" to describe his dogma.
wiz-beach is how you say Wisbech
each ad block is over 5mins!!
5mins of ads every 7-10mins, all of them for boring sounding podcasts :(
is there a more cursed phrase than "nazi woodstock"
Are you related to Bill Shatner?
"fucking dorks" - the way it was said was so unexpected I laughed. in public. whoops!
you're right but you're also an idiot.
I don't think terrorism should be free speech. People going to argue bombs are free speech? as long as no one is hurt? 🙄

The far right desperately wants to seem like the Voice of the People, but whenever they have their little rallies they are met by thousands of regular people who want nothing to do with them. This podcast is interesting because it shows that something similar is going on with individual far-righters. Their organizations are cult-like, their businesses (when they have any) are mostly scams and their friends and family get tired of their racist conspiracy theories and leave.
Great series, phenomenal episode! I am not sure if I remember Falcon and The Snowman being based on a true story, but I am so thrilled THIS story made this WEIRD connection to one of my favorite spy movies of all time. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a watch and really close to the story told in this epsiode. Only they made margaritas and not Mai Tais. Ha! Molly, from one Virginian to another...thank you for the work you do.
