Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 156: The ADL Files – Spies, Lies & the Leo Frank Legacy
Description
Jon Herold and Zak Paine uncover the century-long web of manipulation behind one of America’s most powerful organizations, the Anti-Defamation League. Starting with the 1913 murder of Mary Phagan and the controversial trial of Leo Frank, the duo trace how the ADL emerged from a case of corruption and cover-up to become a clandestine influence machine embedded in U.S. intelligence, media, and politics. They expose how the ADL’s 1993 spy scandal revealed a vast illegal network infiltrating American groups, collecting personal data, and passing intelligence to foreign governments. Through declassified reports, FBI connections, and modern parallels, Jon and Zak connect the dots between historic psyops, global Zionism, and today’s political propaganda. It’s part history lesson, part investigative exposé, and 100% Baseless Conspiracies - where no secret stays buried for long.
